23、bly slipped(滑行)unseen onto ships and planes heading to Guam.”可知，蛇可能是在20世纪40年代出现的，它们可能趁人不注意溜上了前往关岛的船只和飞机。由此推断出，棕树蛇不是关岛的本地物种。5D词义猜测题。根据后句可知，棕树蛇吃鸟，岛上曾经有12种鸟类，但是这些蛇已经杀死了九种鸟类。蛇可以长到10英尺长，它们经常咬人。他们爬上电线，让电力供应中断，这造成了数百万美元的损失。以上说明了这种蛇的危害性很大。由此可以推断出画线词“devastating”意思是“有破坏性的”。Magical有魔力的；Interesting有趣的；Short-te

24、rm短期的；Damaging造成破坏的。故选D项。6D推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Has it worked? So far, research shows that there are fewer snakes because of the mice.”可知，杀死棕树蛇一个有效的方法是让它们吃携带Tylenol的老鼠。7B推理判断题。根据最后一段中最后一句可知，Guam岛农业部的Vice先生说，这不应该阻止岛民的尝试。“我们的长期目标是彻底消灭蛇。”由此推断出，Vice先生对解决蛇的问题满怀希望。阅读加油站leafy adj.多叶的；树木茂密的brown tree snakes棕树蛇kill

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。In 1945, a 12-year-old boy saw a beautiful brooch(胸针) in a shop window that set his heart racing.But the pricefive dollarswas too high for Reuben Earle.Five dollars would buy almost a weeks food for his family.Reuben couldnt ask his father for the mo

29、l try，” the shopkeeper smiled.“People around here dont usually have that kind of money to spend on things.It should keep for a while.”Reuben respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out.He would raise the money and not tell anybody, for he thought Mum would get surprised when she saw that brooch

32、, Reuben wandered the streets, searching for the nail bags carefully.To save more money, he even decided to deliver papers in the early morning.Exhausted and tired as he felt, he still insisted on.It was the brooch in the shop window that reminded him that what he did was worthwhile.After a long tim

33、e of hard work, he made it eventually.Paragraph 2：Finally the time came! _ _One possible version：Finally_the_time_came！ He took out the soda tin, poured the coins out and began to count.Five dollars! His hard work paid off! Holding the soda tin firmly, Reuben rushed for the shop to buy the brooch.The moment he got the beautiful brooch, he burst through the front door and placed it in Doras hand.Never had Dora received such a gift.Speechless and happy, she held her son tightly into her arms, with tears welling up in her eyes.
