A.A debate of how the brain functions.B.A play written by Shakespeare.C.A research on the brain activity of actors.D.A report of the cooperation of scientists and actors.【答案】 （1）A（2）B（3）B（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了一項對于演員大腦活動的研究?，F(xiàn)在，研究人員表示，演員的大腦活動模式不同，取決于他們是否扮演角色。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第五段中的“Once inside the MRI scanner, the actors were asked to answer a number of questions, such as: would they go to the party?”一旦進入核磁共振掃描儀，演員們被要求回答一系列問題，比如:他們會去參加派對嗎?由此推斷出Brown博士的團隊是通過掃描一些演員的大腦活動進行他們的研究的，故選A。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中的“The results revealed that the brain activity differed depending on the situation being tested. The team found that when the actors were in character, they use some thirdperson knowledge or inferences about their character.”結(jié)果顯示，大腦活動的不同取決于所測試的情境。研究小組發(fā)現(xiàn)，當演員在扮演角色時，他們會使用一些第三人稱知識或?qū)巧耐茢?。由此可知Brown博士的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，演員在表演時大腦活動是不同的，故選B。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“However, Philip Davis, a professor at the University of Liverpool, was unimpressed by the research, saying acting is about far more than ‘pretending’ to be someone — it involves embodying (體現(xiàn)) the text and language.”然而，利物浦大學教授Philip Davis對這項研究并不以為然。他說，表演不僅僅是 假裝 成某個人，它還包括文本和語言的體現(xiàn)。由此推斷出Philip Davis對這項研究持懷疑態(tài)度，故選B。 （4）考查主旨大意。第二段中的“Now, researchers have said actors show different patterns of brain activity depending on whether they are in character or not.”現(xiàn)在，研究人員表示，演員的大腦活動模式不同，取決于他們是否扮演角色，是全文的主題句，結(jié)合全文內(nèi)容，可知這篇文章主要介紹了一項對于演員大腦活動的研究，故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，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。4．犇犇閱讀理解 Scientists have found what they believe are pieces of a meteor(流星)that fell to the earth last year. The objects were discovered off the coast of the United States in the Pacific Ocean. The crew of the Nautilus, a private research ship, recovered the rock particles(顆粒).The Nautilus is operated by the Ocean Exploration Trust. The group says its aim at present is to examine areas of the ocean that have never been explored before. The search was launched after US government weather stations observed a large meteorite exploding some months ago. The explosion lit up the sky and sent the rock particles to the earth. The meteorite fall was the largest recorded over the United States in at least 20years. The team includes scientists from NASA, the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary and the University of Washington. The scientists examined what they believe were two small meteorite fragments. Further testing is needed before they can confirm that the material came from the explosion. The Nautilus is equipped with two remotely operated vehicles(ROVs), called Hercules and Argus. These robotic submarines help researchers find and collect materials from the seafloor. The fact that the particles landed in the ocean, instead of on land, means larger pieces may have survived and can be studied. For this reason, scientists decided to launch the first intentional search for meteorites from the ocean. Until the latest research, scientists had only accidentally discovered a small number of meteorites from drilling operations. The objects recovered from the bottom of the sea likely came from the recent explosion for two main reasons. First, meteorite particles are basically made of glassy materials that do not tend to last long in seawater. Secondly, they came from what looked like a small hole on the seafloor. Some evidence shows that they came from something that fell.（1）What is the current goal of the crew of the Ocean Exploration Trust? A.To recover the rock particles.B.To observe movements of the universe.C.To study unexplored places of the ocean.D.To examine creatures of the explored ocean.（2）What mainly caused the start of the search in the sea? A.A huge meteor shower.B.Business value of meteors.C.Plenty of natural resources.D.The brainstorm of researchers.（3）Why do the scientists prefer to search for meteors in the ocean? A.They can find meteors more easily.B.They may find bigger rock particles.C.They like to explore strange sea areas.D.They have better submarine equipment.（4）What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A.Offer clues for the search.B.Give reasons to support a guess.C.Stress the importance of the event.D.Describe the process of the search.【答案】 （1）C（2）A（3）B（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，科學家們發(fā)現(xiàn)了他們認為是去年墜落地球的流星碎片。這些物體是在美國太平洋沿岸發(fā)現(xiàn)的。一場巨大的流星雨導致了在海中搜索的開始?？茖W家更喜歡在海洋中尋找流星是因為他們可能會發(fā)現(xiàn)更大的巖石顆粒。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“The group says its aim at present is to examine areas of the ocean that have never been explored before.”可知，the Ocean Exploration Trust的船員目前的目標是研究海洋中未被探索的地方。故選C。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“Scientists have found what they believe are pieces of a meteor(流星)that fell to the earth last year.”可知，一場巨大的流星雨導致了在海中搜索的開始。故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“The fact that the particles landed in the ocean, instead of on land, means larger pieces may have survived and can be studied.”可知，科學家更喜歡在海洋中尋找流星是因為他們可能會發(fā)現(xiàn)更大的巖石顆粒。故選B。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The objects recovered from the bottom of the sea likely came from the recent explosion for two main reasons.”可知，作者在最后一段是想給出支持猜測的理由。故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇科普類閱讀，考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。5．犇犇閱讀理解 Threequarters of the world39。s coffee farms destroy forest habitat to grow coff
