Question

【題目】 Each summer, Craig Stihler and Jack Wallace, scientists for the state of West Virginia hike to Peacock Cave to count Virginia big-eared bats. 【1】. They want to see if the number of bats is going up or down.

I was there to learn about the bats for my book. After we arrived at the small entrance to Peacock Cave, Craig and Jack unpacked their equipment. Crale said, “【2】 .Hibernating (冬眠)bats may be awakened and fly around and burn up the fat they've stored in their bodies. Without that food supply, they might not live until spring when they can eat insects again. And bat mothers may drop their babies. “

As night settled in，they set up a night-vision scope (觀察儀器）.【3】 .They also set up a radio-like bat detector outside the cave. It picks up bat sounds that our ears can’t hear. For the next two hours, Craig counted the bats by speaking into a handheld voice recorder each time five bats flew out of the cave. By the time the last bat left the cave at about 10:30 p. m., Craig and Jack had counted 1,242 bats! 【4】 .Craig explained that when the first count was taken at Peacock Cave in 1983, there were only 160 Virginia big-eared bats. Projects to help protect bats have helped the bats make a remarkable comeback. Today the total number of Virginia big-eared bats there are more than 25,000.

【5】 .They will continue to need human’s help if they are going to survive into the future.

A.Why do they do so?

B.It allows them to see the bats in darkness.

C.Virginia big-eared bats are medium-sized.

D.Bats are important because they eat insects.

E.They want to catch some bats for their research.

F.Bats living in caves can suffer if disturbed by people.

G.That was the most Craig and Jack had ever counted there.

【4】G

【5】D

【解析】

這是一篇記敘文。文章講述了作者跟隨科研人員去山洞里統(tǒng)計(jì)一種蝙蝠的數(shù)量，了解到近年來由于受到人類的保護(hù)蝙蝠的數(shù)量有所回升。

【1】空白前句指明了科學(xué)家們每年夏天會(huì)去統(tǒng)計(jì)蝙蝠的數(shù)量，后句則交代了這樣做的意圖，A選項(xiàng)“他們?yōu)槭裁匆�這么做呢？”承上啟下，語義通順。故選A項(xiàng)。

【2】空白處是Crale準(zhǔn)備進(jìn)洞穴進(jìn)行觀測(cè)之前說的一句話，下文繼續(xù)說明如果蝙蝠冬眠被吵醒可能導(dǎo)致的一些不良后果，也就是在提醒最好不要打攪、驚擾蝙蝠，F選項(xiàng)“住在洞穴里的蝙蝠如果被人打攪會(huì)遭受不好的結(jié)果”符合文意。故選F項(xiàng)。

【3】空白前句指出科研人員架設(shè)了夜視的觀察儀器，B選項(xiàng)“這使得他們能在黑暗中看到蝙蝠”解釋了儀器的作用，符合文意。與接下來兩句的行文結(jié)構(gòu)是一致的。故選B項(xiàng)。

【4】空白前句用感嘆號(hào)強(qiáng)調(diào)了觀察到的蝙蝠數(shù)量之多，后句也在解釋蝙蝠數(shù)量在人們的幫助下逐漸回升。G選項(xiàng)“這是Craig和Jack在那里統(tǒng)計(jì)過蝙蝠數(shù)量最多的一次”上下連貫，符合文意。故選G項(xiàng)。

【5】空白處置于最后一段末尾，后句表明只有在人類的幫助下蝙蝠才能繼續(xù)存活，這里they就指代蝙蝠，而D選項(xiàng)“蝙蝠吃昆蟲所以它們很重要”就以蝙蝠為主語，強(qiáng)調(diào)其重要性，邏輯和結(jié)構(gòu)上都符合要求。故選D項(xiàng)。

七選五題型主要考查考生對(duì)文章的整體理解和掌握情況，相當(dāng)于閱讀理解和完形填空的綜合。它不僅需要閱讀速度，還要對(duì)文章的結(jié)構(gòu)、主旨、寫作意圖、觀點(diǎn)都有所了解。主要考點(diǎn)包括：1.考查主題句，也就是考查對(duì)文章整體內(nèi)容的概括能力；2考查上下文銜接，即考查文章的過渡部分；3考查中心句，需要考生學(xué)會(huì)歸納段落大意。拿到題目時(shí)，應(yīng)該先確定出題位置；讀題干，再讀需要填入句子的上下句，畫出關(guān)鍵詞；讀文章各段落，確定段落中心句和文章主題句；通讀文章確定上下句和選項(xiàng)之間的邏輯關(guān)系。針對(duì)不同設(shè)空位置選擇不同的策略就能事半功倍。第3小題就是一個(gè)典型例子，前句+空白處的句子的結(jié)構(gòu)與接下來的兩句話結(jié)構(gòu)是完全一致的（因其句中有also一詞），先描述現(xiàn)象再解釋原因，據(jù)此就可以推斷出正確答案。
