【正文】 humans, as well as how long the immunity might last.（1）If the tests in humans go smoothly, Now, developing a vaccine for pregnant women to protect their unborn babies is an international research priority(優(yōu)先事項(xiàng)). US scientists from the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School tested two types of Zika vaccine in mice – one based on bits of genetic(基因的) code from the virus and another that is an inactive (and therefore harmless) copy of Zika. Both worked well, protecting every mouse that was immunised against the virus. In parison, all of the mice not given the vaccine caught Zika after they were exposed to it. such as pregnant women 173。 A single dose(劑量) of an experimental vaccine(疫苗) can protect mice against the Zika(寨卡) virus, raising renewed hope of a vaccine for humans, say scientists. The US team say the results, published in Nature, are striking and should encourage research efforts. 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Many species can understand the difference between quantities and use this to search for food, make decisions and solve problems. But numerical cognition, such as exact number and arithmetic operations, requires a more plex level of processing.”許多物種都能理解數(shù)量之間的差異，并以此來尋找食物、做出決定和解決問題。根據(jù)第五段中的“If math doesn39?！笨芍琑MIT大學(xué) 的此前的研究表明，一些靈長(zhǎng)類動(dòng)物、鳥類、嬰兒甚至蜘蛛都可以加減法。A Discovery About the Tiny Brain of BeesB.Bees can recogize the exact number.B.requires addition and subtraction two plex processingB.Longterm rules and short term working memory.C.t require a massive brain, there might also be new ways for us to include interactions of both longterm rules and working memory in designs to improve rapid AI learning of new problems,” said Dyer. The findings suggest that advanced numerical cognition (認(rèn)知) may be found much more widely in nature among nonhuman animals than previously suspected. RMIT39。從而可以推斷出，千足蟲是擁有多種防御機(jī)制的物種。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)根據(jù)The hoatzin eats cow shit so that it is nicknamed as stink bird.D.releasing substance to make predators unable to smell itD. Researchers using lobsters (2f) as model predators found that the sea blocks the lobsters receptive mechanism. In other words, the sea hare gives its attacker the equivalent of a stuffy nose so they don39。 The graceful sea hare is plain in taste in the first place, so it39。s the only bird known to digest by fermentation, like a cow. This process is what causes its smell and has earned it the nickname the stink bird Hoatzin (磨雉)t have to fax anyone a death certificate. They just lie there with their tongues hanging out with the smell of dead flesh, sometimes for hours, effectively convincing potential predators they can find a much fresher meal elsewhere. Even if they keep getting attacked, they won39。 Opossum (負(fù)鼠) Vultures, are street sweepers that feast on the rotting flesh of dead animals, which benefits us by ridding our highways and landscapes of animal bodies and the bacteria they might carry. When vultures feel threatened they vomit, and the smell of vomitedon dead bodies puts of most predators. Throwing up allows the vulture to fly away more quicklyand the vomit can hurt the aggressor39。s ears to help them detect the sound of approaching insects.”及全文內(nèi)容可知，文章主要講述人與植物的交流可以促其生長(zhǎng)。從而推斷可知，園丁經(jīng)常與植物交談，生長(zhǎng)得更好。從而推斷可知，在叢林里的植物生長(zhǎng)得更好。故選B。s voices improve plants39。B.Plants respond to sounds slowly and ecologically.D.D.In the woods.D.Brighter color. response to bees39。故選C?？蛇xA。 （3）考查推理判斷。故選D。D.B.couples will not change their dietary habits and lifestyle to please their partnerD.it is wrong to change your dietary habits to suit your partner（4）From the passage, we can infer that ________.

A.t like foods high in fat and sugar at all The research shows that women are more likely to put on weight and increase their consumption of foods high in fat and sugar when they move in with their partner The report, by Newcastle University39。 It leads men to eat more light meals, such as salads, fruit and vegetables, while women choose to make creamier, heavier dishes curry or rich pasta sauces, which may please their partner. Women still have the strongest longterm influence over the couple39。 Women also use food as a fort when dealing with emotional stress and have been found to gain weight when a relationship ends, while the same finding has not been observed in men.don39。D.less in fat and sugarnot serious or important（3）According to the report by Newcastle University39。eating together in the evening is a good way to municate for couplesD.more men will play roles of shopper and cook in most householdsC.t be silly any more, women!根據(jù)第三段中的“which may please their partner”可知，男女雙方會(huì)改變自己的飲食習(xí)慣來迎合對(duì)方，因此男士會(huì)吃他的女伴喜歡吃的食物。故選B。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The research has shown that your partner is a strong influence on lifestyle and people who are trying to live healthier lives should take this factor into consideration.”研究表明你的伴侶對(duì)你的生活方式有很大的影響,那些試圖過上健康生活的人應(yīng)該考慮到這一因素。C項(xiàng)幽默風(fēng)趣，能吸引讀者的注意，并切中文章的主題。 s ears to help them detect the sound of approaching insects.s evening primrose flowers39。Sweeter nectar.C.Beside a highway.C.Plants can only potentially hear animals.C.t grow without sound.Women39。根據(jù)第二段中的“When the researchers played recordings of flying bees to evening primrose flowers, within three minutes the sugar concentrations in the nectar (花蜜) of its flowers increased.”可知，蜜蜂飛到夜來香花，在三分鐘內(nèi)其花朵花蜜的糖的濃度會(huì)增加，所以花蜜會(huì)更甜。s ability to respond to pollinators may be weakened in city environments or beside a busy road. ”哈達(dá)尼教授認(rèn)為，植物對(duì)傳粉者做出反應(yīng)的能力可能會(huì)在城市環(huán)境或繁忙道路旁減弱。根據(jù)第四段中的“But th
