【分析】
这道题的核心要求是选出符合诗歌押韵规则、同时匹配语境的单词，解题时可以分两步走：第一步先明确英语诗歌押韵的基本逻辑，找到第一行末尾的参考押韵词lying，确定它的尾韵特征；第二步逐一核对每个选项的发音和语义，排除不符合押韵要求、和语境不匹配的干扰项，就能得到正确答案。
【解析】
1. 明确押韵参考：英语诗歌押韵通常要求单词末尾重读音节的元音及后续发音一致，本诗第一行末尾单词是lying，发音为/ˈlaɪɪŋ/，尾韵为/aɪŋ/，我们需要找到尾韵和它匹配的选项。
2. 逐一排查选项：
选项A：jumping发音为/ˈdʒʌmpɪŋ/，尾韵和/aɪŋ/不匹配，语义“跳跃的”也不符合清晨鸟鸣的语境，直接排除。
选项B：singing发音为/ˈsɪŋɪŋ/，尾韵为/ɪŋ/，不满足押韵要求，排除。
选项C：calling发音为/ˈkɔːlɪŋ/，尾韵为/ɔːlɪŋ/，和lying的尾韵不匹配，排除。
选项D：crying发音为/ˈkraɪɪŋ/，尾韵恰好是/aɪŋ/，和lying完全押韵，同时该词可以指代鸟儿啼鸣，契合《春晓》原诗“处处闻啼鸟”的意境，完全符合要求。
【答案】
D
【知识点】
英语诗歌押韵，词汇语义辨析
【点评】
本题结合经典古诗《春晓》的英译版本出题，形式新颖，同时考察了学生的基础单词发音掌握情况和语境语义判断能力，兼顾了语言文化常识和基础语言知识点的考察。

7. 此处是Make sure引导的宾语从句的谓语，从句主语your pet是第三人称单数，时态为一般现在时，谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式，故填has。
8. 此处修饰可数名词match，含义为“很好的组合/搭档”，good以辅音音素开头，要填不定冠词a。
9. 此处是固定短语be suitable for，含义为“适合……”，需要把动词suit变为形容词形式，故填suitable。
10. 此处是固定搭配in the best way，含义为“用最好的方式”，要填介词in。

六、(2025·苏州期末)阅读理解。
Cities are full of tall buildings, factories, and cars. They are very useful places for people to live. However, for animals, living in a city can be very difficult. This is why some animals have changed to survive city life.
The peppered moth(花斑蛾), for example, changes its colour to survive in the city. The quality of the air in the city is not quite good. This makes the surface of trees darker. The peppered moth changes to a darker colour to match the trees. In this way, it can hide from other animals.
The great tit(大山雀)changes its voice to survive in the city. It sings to find a mate. But in the city, it is too noisy for other birds to hear it singing. So the great tit changes its song to a higher pitch(音调).
In the forest, the crow drops seeds and nuts from high above to break them on the ground. Then it can get the food inside. However, the city crow has a better idea. It drops its seeds on the street and waits for cars to break them. Then it quickly flies down and picks up its meal.

这是一篇介绍城市动物适应性改变的科普类阅读理解，3道题包含2道细节理解题和1道主旨大意题。解题时针对细节题，先提取题干里的专属关键词，回到原文对应段落精准定位语句，直接匹配选项就能得到答案；针对主旨题，优先找文章首尾段的总起主题句，排除只覆盖部分例子内容的片面干扰选项，就可以快速确定核心主旨。
