解题导语：本文讲述目前学生压力大，相关部门制定政策来禁止补课，让学生休息好，才能在学校学习好。
1.under 解析：考查固定短语。under pressure处在压力之下。
2.whom 解析：考查定语从句。句意：他们一天八个小时在学校，许多人还上补习课，指的是人，故用whom。
3.concerned 解析：考查固定短语。 make sb.concerned“使某人担心”。
4.the/this 解析：考查限定词。本句中的problem表示特指，指所提到的问题故用the或this。
5.regulation 解析：考查名词。根据make a new__5__(regular)中的a和new可知空格处应为名词。
6.or 解析：考查连词。句意：为了帮助解决这个问题，相关部门制定了一条新规定：不允许学生在周末或假期补课。此处为并列关系，故用or。
7.it 解析：考查代词。句意：我们知道这对于我们学生来说平衡学习与休息是非常有必要的。
8.is approaching 解析：考查动词的时态。句意：春节即将临近，我要充分利用这段时间休息。

Love，
Tyler

Love，
Mom

答案：
解题导语：这是两封书信。第一封是Tyler写给父母的信，讲述了他有趣的宿营经历;第二封是母亲的回信，字里行间流露出对儿子的担忧。
1.A 解析：细节理解题。第一封信的第一句“Camp is great!”统领下文，Tyler给父母写信是为了讲述他有趣的宿营经历，故A项正确。
2.D 解析：词义猜测题。根据第一封信第二段的第二句“I have at least 100 mosquito bites and about 20 fire ant bites.”可知，Tyler被蚊子和火蚁咬了，再结合画线词所在句的“horseflies chase me, too”中的too可知，此处chase表示“追赶”，即D项正确。
3.C 解析：细节理解题。根据第二封信第二段的第二句“However, you must stop trying to scare other campers.”可知，选C项。
B
(2016·长春四校联考)Whether they are hunters or the hunted, these cunning animals are all masters of disguise (伪装) who can fool even the most beadyeyed passersby into believing they are not there.Some hide under lily pads, and some dissolve into the bark of a tree while others slip into the snow, either to hide from a hungry predator or to silently stalk (追踪) an unwitting prey.
With their almost perfect camouflage, these animals are some of the Earth's best masters of disguise.However, while they can hide from their predators they cannot escape the sharp eyes of American photographer Art Wolfe, who has spent over 35 years roaming (漫步) the deserts of Africa, the rainforests of South America, the mountains of the United States and snow plains of Canada to capture wildlife at its most invisibility.
The Seattle, WA photographer says that finding and filming these clever animals is a painstaking process, which often takes many hours.However for him, it is definitely worth the time because the thrill of capturing a creature that has managed to blend into its natural habitat so skillfully, is like none other.
His search has taken him to almost every continent in the world — from the deserts of Africa to the rainforests of South America and even, the snow plains of Canada.Over the years he has snapped so many amazing photos that he has been able to showcase them in two books — a children's book entitled Hiding Out that was first published in 2003 and Vanishing Act, which first came to bookstores in 2005 — both have been translated into several languages and been extremely popular all over the world.
And, he is not done yet.The 61yearold man who also happens to be a television producer continues to unearth nature's beauties under lily pads, dissolved into tree trunks or stealthily awaiting their prey in the white snow! Would you have been able to spot any of them if you had not known what they were like in the photographs? Be sure to let us know, by adding your comments below.
4.Some animals fool predators by ________.
A.keeping still on the tree
B.pretending to be friendly
C.disguising themselves
D.changing things around
5.How old was Art Wolfe when he began to take photos of these animals?
A.61. B.35. C.29. D.26.
6.How did Art Wolfe feel when finding and filming these clever animals?
A.Easy and interested.
B.Hard and excited.
C.Comfortable and hard.
D.Complicated and boring.
7.What do you know according to Paragraph 4?
A.Art Wolfe was actually a writer.
B.Vanishing Act contains many pictures.
C.Hiding Out came to bookstores in 2005.
D.Art Wolfe could write in a few languages.
答案：
解题导语：许多动物为了躲避捕食者或者为了捕获食物，常常需要巧妙地伪装自己。美国摄影师阿尔特·沃尔夫花了35年时间，在世界各地寻找并拍摄这些伪装大师。
4.C 解析：细节理解题。由第一段可知，有些动物通过伪装自己来躲过捕食者。
5.D 解析：简单计算题。由第二段中的“Art Wolfe, who has spent over 35 years”和最后一段中的“The 61yearold man who also happens to be a television producer”可知，阿尔特·沃尔夫26岁时开始拍摄这些动物。
6.B 解析：细节理解题。由第三段中的“finding and filming these clever animals is a painstaking process, which often takes many hours”和“the thrill of capturing a creature ... is like none other.”可知，这个工作既辛苦又令他兴奋，故B项正确。
7.B 解析：细节理解题。由第四段中的“Over the years...and Vanishing Act”可知，Vanishing Act这本书里包含了很多他拍摄的照片。
