Maybe you39。re watching a sad movie, or thinking about the friend who moved away. Next thing you know, you feel pressure in your throat, your eyes are watering, and you have tears running down your cheeks. According to Ad Vingerhoets, a professor of psychology at Tilburg University, in the Netherlands, who is one of the few scientists in the world who have studied crying, there are three types of tears. Basal tears are the first type. They act as a protective barrier between the eye and the rest of the World. Next are reflex tears. They wash your eyes clean when something gets in them. Finally, there are emotional tears. These are released in response to emotional states, explains Vingerhoets. Scientists believe crying has something to do with how humans developed and learned to depend on each other. Humans are very plex social creatures, says Lauren Bylsma, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania. It seems that tears serve to arouse help and support from others, She says. Vingerhoets agrees, I think that the reason why humans shed tears（流眼淚）has something to do with our childhood, he says. that39。s the time when we are still dependent on adults for love and protection and care. The major advantage of emotional tears is that you can target them at a specific person. Vingerhoets says this ability could have e in handy in prehistoric times, when humans were living among dangerous animals. Tears were a safer way to get attention. In this case, it is better to use a silent signal to ask for help, he says. Vingerhoets and Byhma do frequent studies to better understand why humans cry. According to Byhma, there is still much more to discover. It39。s surprising, she says, how much we still don39。t know.（1）In the scientists39。 opinion, crying is ________. sign of human evolution result of human kindness cause of personal growth means of relying on each other（2）The underlined phrase this ability in the last paragraph refers to the ability to ________. help wisely tears at someone emotionally to other people（3）From the text, we learn that Ad Vingerhoets and Lauren Bylsma ________. different opinions about the causes of tears positively of the effects of tears working together to study tears learned enough about tears（4）What can be a suitable title for the text? types of tears ponents of tears science of tears opinions about tears【答案】 （1）D（2）B（3）B（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，從科學(xué)的角度分析了哭的類型和哭的原因等內(nèi)容。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“Scientists believe crying has something to do with how humans developed and learned to depend on each other”可知，科學(xué)家們認(rèn)為哭與人類如何發(fā)展和學(xué)習(xí)彼此依靠有關(guān)系。故可知哭是人們互相依靠的一種方法，選D。 （2）考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第四段中的“‘The major advantage of emotional tears is that you can target them at a specific person.’ Vingerhoets says this ability could have e in handy in prehistoric times, when humans were living among dangerous animals. Tears were a safer way to get attention.Vingerhoets認(rèn)為淚水的主要優(yōu)勢(shì)就是你可以將淚水指向一個(gè)特定的目標(biāo)。這種能力在史前發(fā)揮了作用，當(dāng)時(shí)人們生活在危險(xiǎn)的動(dòng)物中。淚水是獲得注意的一種更安全的方式。由此可知，this ability指將淚水指向一個(gè)特定的目標(biāo)的能力，故選B。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“Lauren Bylsma, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania. ‘It seems that tears serve to arouse help and support from others,’ She says. Vingerhoets agrees”可知，Lauren Bylsma和Vingerhoets都認(rèn)為淚水可以喚起別人的幫助和支持。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知，他們都認(rèn)可淚水的積極作用。故選B。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測(cè)和推理判斷三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科普類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 A bite from a tsetse fly (采采蠅) is an extremely unpleasant experience. It is not like a mosquito, which can put its thin mouthpart directly into your blood, often without you noticing. In contrast, the tsetse fly39。s mouth has tiny saws on it that saw into your skin on its way to suck out your blood. To make matters worse, several species of tsetse fly can transmit diseases. One of the most dangerous is a parasite that causes ＂sleeping sickness＂, or ＂human African trypanosomiasis＂to give it its official name. Without treatment, an infection is usually fatal. Like so many tropical diseases, sleeping sickness has often been neglected by medical researchers. However, researchers have long endeavored to understand how it avoids our bodies39。 defence mechanisms. Some of their insights could now help us eliminate sleeping sickness altogether. There are two closelyrelated singlecelled parasites that cause this deathly sleep: Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and T. b. gambiense. The latter is far more mon: it is responsible for up to 95% of cases, mostly in western Africa. It takes several years to kill a person, while T. brucei rhodesiense can cause death within months. There are still other forms that infect livestock. After the initial bite, sleeping sickness symptoms often start with a fever, headaches and aching muscles. As the illness goes on, those infected bee increasingly tired, which is where it gets its name. Personality changes, severe confusion and poor coordination can also happen. While medication does help, some treatments are toxic and can themselves be deadly, especially if they are given after the disease has reached the brain. It is worth noting that sleeping sickness is no longer as deadly as it once was. In the early 20th Century several hundred thousand people were infected each year. By the 1960s the disease was considered ＂under control＂ and had reached very low numbers, making its spread more difficult. But in the 1970s there was another major epidemic, which took 20 years to control. Since then, better screening programmes and earlier interventions have reduced the number of cases dramatically. In 2009 there were fewer than 10,000 cases for the first time since records began, and in 2015 this figure dropped to fewer than 3,000, according to the latest figures from the World Health Organisation. The WHO hopes the disease will be pletely eliminated by 2020. While this decline looks positive, there may be many more cases that go unreported in rural Africa. To eliminate the disease pletely, infections have to be closely monitored. More problematically, a series of new studies have shown that the parasite is more plicated than previously believed. Sleeping sickness has always been considered —— and diagnosed —— a
