　　二、勤练高考题型，多练自能生巧

　　Ⅰ.语法填空

　　Every day animals are beaten, neglected, or forced to struggle for survival.__1__ (leave) in dirty conditions with no food or water, they have little hope__2__ they live out their days without the compassion they deserve.Some __3__ (find) and rescued, given the chance to experience how great life and humans can be; others aren't so __4__ (luck)．We must fight for these abused animals' rights and severely punish unkind owners.It is up to __5__ to speak for these creatures who lack a voice, for who will if we don't?

　　One of the first __6__ (step) in protecting animals and creating effective laws is to know what animal cruelty actually is.There are two categories: passive cruelty and active cruelty.The first involves the abuse that happens as a result of neglect or lack of action.It might seem __7__ (little) serious, but that is not the case; it can lead __8__ terrible pain and suffering, and ultimately death.Examples include starvation, inadequate shelter in extreme weather conditions, and the failure to get medical care.

　　Active cruelty, on the other hand, is more __9__ (disturb)．Sometimes referred to as non­accidental injury, this type of abuse involves __10__ (purposeful) inflicting harm on an animal in order to feel more powerful or gain control.

　　语篇解读：本文是说明文。动物也有自己的权利，人们对动物的虐待有两种形式，即被动虐待和主动虐待。文章呼吁人类应该给予动物同情心，多关爱它们。

　　1．Left　leave与其逻辑主语they之间构成被动关系，故用过去分词。

　　2．as　根据语义可知，此处的as引导了一个原因状语从句，表示"因为"。

　　3．are found　根据语境，指一些动物被发现，得到了救助，是被动意义。

　　4．lucky　指与前面那些被救助的动物相比，有的动物就不那么幸运了，故使用形容词lucky。

　　5．us　结合后面的"if we don't"可知，此处表示"我们"应该为动物争取权利。

　　6．steps　根据前面的"one of"可知，后面的名词应用复数形式。

　　7．less　根据语义可知，表示"好像这种情况不是那么严重"，有比较的意义，故填less。

　　8．to　lead to表示"导致，造成"。

　　9．disturbing　主语是active cruelty，指物，故填disturbing意为"令人不安的"。

　　10．purposefully　此处填副词作状语。

　　Ⅱ.短文改错
