He analyzed himself and realized his posture was bad. He worked on improving it, with excellent results.”可知，弗雷德里克亞歷山大，一個出身于186年的澳大利亞演員，在年輕的時候聲音出了問題。他做了分析，意識到自己的姿勢不正確，因此致力于改善姿勢，結(jié)果很好，故可知，他通過矯正姿勢，解決了自己的聲音問題，故選A。 （4）考查主旨大意。本文介紹亞歷山大技巧的對于矯正身體的作用以及其發(fā)明者，故可知在介紹亞歷山大技巧的作用，故選C。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及推理判斷和主旨大意兩個題型的考查，是一篇科普類閱讀，要求考生根據(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．犇犇閱讀理解 A good disguise keeps you hidden, right? Well, sometimes the best disguise is actually the most dazzling because research reveals that flashy metallic iridescence(金屬彩虹色) can visually puzzle predators, which allows colorful prey to survive another day. Those surprising results appear in the journal Scientific Reports. Shining iridescent color, which changes depending on the angle from which it39。s viewed, is favored by everything from birds to beetles and blossoms to butterflies. And in our research group we are of course interested in why this vivid metallic color is so widespread in nature. Karin Kjernsmo of the University of Bristol adds that in some cases the showy splashes of light are a sexual strategy. Here I would like to point out that in some species, particularly those that display strong sexual dimorphism(雌雄兩性), such as birds of paradise or some butterflies or fishes, the occurrence of iridescence is most likely driven by sexual selection. For example, in many of these cases it is the males that have these vivid iridescent colors and they use them in mate choice or they use them as a signal to attract mates. But iridescence also shows up in situations where reproduction is not an issue. So what we are studying now is whether natural selection imposed by predation(捕食行為) could explain the occurrence of iridescence in prey animals. The idea that eye173。catching colors could be used as a cover173。up isn39。t a new one. The father of camouflage theory, Abbott Thayer, really believed that iridescence should be categorized as a camouflage strategy. And he wrote in his famous lifework Concealing173。Coloration in the Animal Kingdom, already in 1909, that 39。brilliantly changeable or metallic colors are among the strongest factors in an animal39。s concealment39。. And this sounds like a pletely unreasonable thing to say, because how can colors that are both brilliant and changeable contribute to animal39。s concealment？ In a similar way, we were asking whether iridescence, due to its changeability, could work as a form of camouflage by preventing shape recognition. Kjernsmo and her colleagues trained bumblebees to associate a particular shape—a circle or an oval—with a sugar reward. And they found that the bees, when given a choice, would preferentially visit the shape they knew to be sweet. But when the shapes were iridescent, the bees had trouble telling them apart. It seemed that the strikingly iridescent surfaces on our targets visually broke up the otherwise recognizable shape of the targets, which made them hard to distinguish. As for making use of this method for hiding in plain sight, Any practical applications is of course directly linked to any industry that has an interest in camouflage, that is how to conceal objects or make them more difficult to recognize. The researchers are currently conducting experiments with birds, which often prey on iridescent insects to see if it helps to have a bird39。s173。eye view.（1）According to the passage, iridescence is not made use of by animals to ________.

Well, sometimes the best disguise is actually the most dazzling because research reveals that flashy metallic iridescence(金屬彩虹色) can visually puzzle predators, which allows colorful prey to survive another day.”可知彩虹色被動物用來通過逃離捕食者而活得更久，排除A；根據(jù)第三段中的“Here I would like to point out that in some species, particularly those that display strong sexual dimorphism(雌雄兩性), such as birds of paradise or some butterflies or fishes, the occurrence of iridescence is most likely driven by sexual selection.”在這里我想指出的是，在某些物種中，尤其是那些表現(xiàn)出強(qiáng)烈兩性差異的物種，比如天堂鳥、孔雀，甚至在某些蝴蝶或魚類中，彩虹色的出現(xiàn)很可能是由性別選擇所驅(qū)動的?？芍獎游镉貌屎缟鹜榈淖⒁?，排除B；根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“The idea that eye173。catching colors could be used as a cover173。up isn39。t a new one.”引人注目的顏色可以用來偽裝，這種想法并不新鮮，排除C，故選D。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中
