A.jaws help shape our thoughtB.food determines our thoughtC.diet has some influence on languageD.language consists of sound and meaning【答案】 （1）D（2）D（3）A（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，人們一直以來認(rèn)為語言是思想的產(chǎn)物，但是有新的研究表明飲食對(duì)于語言也會(huì)產(chǎn)生一些影響。且以f和v的發(fā)音為例，揭示了農(nóng)民們發(fā)f和v音的原因是他們喜歡吃更多的熟食。同時(shí)這也強(qiáng)調(diào)了人類特有的一切都是物質(zhì)和精神的結(jié)合:語言必須把聲音和意義結(jié)合起來，沒有真實(shí)的物體，意義就不可能存在或傳播。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“By the age of one, they can recognize the significant noises around them and group them into a language.”可知一歲的嬰兒和成人相比更能識(shí)別出周圍的重要聲音，故選D。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“New research suggests that the apparently arbitrary distribution of some sounds around the world may be partially explained by diet.”可知某些聲音在世界范圍內(nèi)的任意分布，部分可以用飲食來解釋。本段提到sound和diet是有關(guān)系的,也就是food食物；另外也和思考有關(guān)the product of thought,本段最后說到和兩者都有關(guān)系。故選D。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“The argument goes that famers eat more cooked food and more dairy than hunter gatherers.”可知農(nóng)民比狩獵采集者吃更多的熟食和奶制品，即農(nóng)民們發(fā)f和v音的原因是他們喜歡吃更多的熟食。故選A。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第二段中的“We39。d rather think of language as product of our thought, rather than of the arrangement of our teeth. In reality, though, any given language must be both.”可知任何一種語言的誕生都必須同時(shí)具備思想和飲食這兩種因素的影響。以及文章內(nèi)容可知敘述的都是日常飲食和發(fā)音對(duì)語言的影響，故選C。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，同時(shí)根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行推理，歸納，從而選出正確答案。4．犇犇Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read. Stocky, slowmoving whale, rarely grows beyond 15 metres in length Flippers are a third of body length。 variable dorsal fin size and shape。 sawtoothed trailing edge on flukes, often raised when diving Bumpy tubercles on top of head Body colour is dark brown to black。 often extensive white on flippers and underside of body and flukes。 such patterns enable individual recognition Bushy blow, occasionally Vshaped 270400 olive baleen plates Humpback whales belong to the rorqual (groovethroated) family, which includes fin, sei, Bryde39。s, minke and blue whales. The big family migrate between winter tropical breeding areas (North West Shelf, Great Barrier Reef, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiii, Tonga) and summer Antarctic feeding areas. Once mon in New Zealand waters, humpbacks are now rarely seen and may migrate further offshore. Males pete for mates either by physical fight or by song. Females give birth to their young every two to three years。 some nonbreeding females probably remain in the southern waters during winter. Young humpback whales return to their area of birth but in later life some wander between breeding areas. Humpbacks eat small shrimps and other schooling prey, such as fish, forming small, cooperative groups of two to three individuals to feed. Similar species: Easily identifiable due to a 39。hump39。 back when submerging, but at a distance may be confused with other species that raise their flukes when diving, such as sperm, right and blue whales. Protection status: Recovering well from past whaling and now numerous in some former migration and aggregation areas, rarely seen in others.（1）Which of the following is TRUE about humpback whales? A.Their long flippers vary in length, size and shape like dorsal fin.B.They are large and likely to grow longer than 15 metres.C.The different colors and patterns of the body help to be recognized.D.Their bumpy tubercles and blowholes are on both sides of head.（2）Which of the following can be inferred from this article39。s description of humpback whales39。 migration? A.They need warmer waters to breed.B.They can39。t survive in extreme cold.C.They find plentiful food in tropical waters.D.They are mostly hunted in New Zealand waters.（3）This article is mainly intended to . A.explain why humpbacks are still hunted in some parts of the worldB.introduce how humpbacks migrate through some dangerous watersC.popularize the basic knowledge of humpbacks and call for protectionD.help distinguish humpbacks from other similar species【答案】 （1）C（2）A（3）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了座頭鯨外形特點(diǎn)、體重、顏色，以及其如何繁殖、喂養(yǎng)等生活習(xí)性等，并呼吁大家保護(hù)它。 （1）考查推理判斷 。根據(jù)第四個(gè)小點(diǎn)后的一段Body color is dark brown to black。 often extensive white on flippers and underside of body and flukes。 such patterns enable individual recognition可知，座頭鯨體色由深棕色至黑色，腳蹼、身體底部和尾鰭上通常是大面積的白色；這樣的圖案使單個(gè)的座頭鯨很容易被識(shí)別。分析選項(xiàng)可知C項(xiàng)符合題意，故選C。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第五個(gè)小黑點(diǎn)后面的The big family migrate between winter tropical breeding areas (North West Shelf, Great Barrier Reef, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiii, Tonga) and summer Antarctic feeding areas. 座頭鯨這個(gè)大家族在冬季的熱帶繁殖區(qū)（西北大陸架、大堡礁、新喀里多尼亞、瓦努阿圖、斐濟(jì)、湯加）和夏季南極喂養(yǎng)區(qū)之間遷徙?？芍?，座頭鯨在熱帶地區(qū)繁殖。冬季的熱帶繁殖區(qū)，是溫暖的地方?？芍^鯨需要在暖和的地方繁殖，故選A。 （3）考查主旨大意。本文主要對(duì)座頭鯨外形特點(diǎn)、體重、顏色，以及其如何繁殖喂養(yǎng)等生活習(xí)性等作了介紹，并呼吁大家保護(hù)意識(shí)。所以本文目的是普及有關(guān)座頭鯨的知識(shí)，并對(duì)它們加以保護(hù)。分析選項(xiàng)可知C項(xiàng)符合題意，故選C。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)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。5．犇犇閱讀理解 In my memory, winters always used to be really unpleasant. You had to bundle up just to keep warm when you went outside. You were often cold, wet, slip on the ice, and you39。d arrive home to an icecold house. And that would mean turning on the heating and waiting. It39。s a miracle you didn39。t get cold to the bone. Fortunately, things don39。t have to be so challenging any more. Technology, engine ring and design have advanced giving us new solutions to old problems. It means dealing with winter needn39。t be like skating on thin ice. With a smart thermostat (溫度自動(dòng)調(diào)節(jié)器), our homes can be warm when we need them to be. Many models feature smartphone apps that allow you to control temperature remotely, so we can warm up the house before we arrive home. According to , Tado39。s model features voice control, while the Nest 39。leans39。 your habits and automatically heats the home for you. Clothes have been given an upgrade, too. Electronic thermal jackets, sweaters and coats heat up when you turn them on. What better way to keep warm in the dead of winter? At the touch of a button, or through an app on our phones, the clothing generates heat from elements placed inside. Many models offer three levels of heating which stay warm for over 12 hours. .
