A.The earliest domestic dog in the Americas.B.The first dog arriving in the Americas.C.How dogs were domesticated in the Americas.D.When the oldest dog was found in the Americas.【答案】（1）C（2）A（3）B（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了大概一萬年以前就在北美成為人類伙伴的狗的種類。（1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“A third dog from another Illinois site called Stilwell II was older still, at 10,190 years old. That makes it the oldest known domesticated dog in the Americas.”可知，美洲最古老的家犬有10,190年。故選C。（2）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第二段中的“The team concluded that all three dogs were domesticated as they skeletons were plete and unskinned, and so hadn39。t been butchered for food. They had also been carefully buried, evidence they were valued by their owners. ”研究小組得出的結(jié)論是，這三種狗都是被馴化的，因為它們的骨骼是完整的，沒有皮膚的，所以沒有被宰殺作為食物。他們也被仔細地埋葬了，證據(jù)表明他們是被主人重視的。關(guān)鍵詞buried，可知劃線詞的意思是“殺死”，故選A。（3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“It is unclear why it took so long for tame dogs to arrive in the Americas, given that they were domesticated at least 14,000 years ago in Eurasia.”可知，對到達美洲的馴服的狗態(tài)度是不確定。故選B。（4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第一段中的“Dogs were living as panions to the early settlers of North America over 10,000 years ago. The oldest domestic dogs in the Americas were thought to be around 9500 years old.”可知，美洲有最早的家犬。故選A。【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測，推理判斷和主旨大意四個題型的考查，是一篇科普類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。3．閱讀理解 You39。ll be redirected to our Irish Fest Ticketing Store, which will feature all of 201839。s ticketing options.

We should understand that the oftrepeated claim that nearly all scientists demand that something dramatic be done to stop global warming is not true. Perhaps the most inconvenient fact is the lack of global warming for well over 10 years now. This is known to the warming establishment, as one can see from the 2009 Climategate of climate scientist Kevin Trenberth: The fact is that we can39。t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is an irony that we can39。t. But the warming is only missing if one believes puter models where socalled feedback involving water vapor and clouds greatly amplifies the small effect of CO2. The fact is that CO2 is not a pollutant and it is a key ponent of the biosphere ( 生物圈)39。s life cycle. Plants get better growth
