A.Critical.B.Acid.C.Humorous.D.Serious.【答案】 （1）B（2）A（3）B（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，畢克筆的筆帽上有一個(gè)小孔是為了防止那些粗心的使用者不小心吞下而窒息死亡。這真是粗心使用者的生命通道。 （1）考查推理判斷。畢克筆的筆帽上留一個(gè)小孔的原因，且這個(gè)問題會(huì)被偶爾問到，就像如果你用核武器攻擊黃石公園會(huì)發(fā)生什么事這個(gè)問題一樣，作者是在舉例證明他的觀點(diǎn)，故選B。 （2）考查詞義猜測(cè)。此處意為當(dāng)使用者不慎把筆帽吞下時(shí)，筆帽上的小孔就是為了阻止筆帽完全阻塞氣管而引起窒息，故選A。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的In fact, in 2018, 7,250 kilometers (4,505 miles) of writing tests on such pens were carried out on ballpoint pens, gel pens(中性筆), and rollers to make sure they worked to the highest standard.可知，舉行書寫測(cè)試的目的是為了確保筆能夠達(dá)到最高的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，故選B。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的Some things should just be mon knowledge by now. The Earth isn39。t flat. Nope, your hair and nails don39。t grow after you die. 和第三段中的That39。s rather lovely of them.

When the necropsy (尸檢) was performed, Blatchley told NPR, he was not prepared for the amount of plastic they found in the whale39。s stomach. It was full of plastic nothing but nonstop plastic. he said It was filled to the point that its stomach was as hard as a baseball. That means that this animal has been suffering not for days or weeks but for months or even a year or more, Blatchley added. Blatchley is the founder and owner of the D39。Bone Collector Museum, a natural history museum in Davao. In the ing days, the museum will display all the items found in the whale39。s system. Blatchley and his team work with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources and other organizations to assist in rescue and recovery of marine animals. Within the last 10 years, we have recovered 61 whales and dolphins just within the Davao Gulf, he said. Of them, 57 have died due to man whether they took plastic or fishing nets or other waste, or gotten caught in pollution — and four were pregnant. Blatchley said he hoped that the latest incident would launch the issue of plastic pollution in the Philippines and across the globe. If we keep going this way, it will be more unmon to see an animal die of natural causes than it is to see an animal die of plastic, he said.（1）What can he inferred from the second paragraph?

Our results lend support to the importance of time perception in animals where the ability to perceive time in a very short time may be the difference between life and death for fast moving creatures. mented lead author Kevin Healy from Trinity College Dublin. The study was done with a variety of animals using phenomenon based on the maximum speed of flashes of light an individual can see before the light source is seen as constant. Dogs, for example, have eyes with a refresh rate higher than humans. One example of this phenomenon at work, the authors say, is the housefly and its ability to avoid being hit. The research showed flies observe motion in a shorter time than our own eyes can achieve, which allows them to avoid being hit. Professor Graeme Ruxton of the University of St Andrews in Scotland, who worked jointly on the research project, said in a statement, Having eyes that send updates to the brain at much higher frequencies than our eyes do is of no value if the brain cannot process that information equally quickly. Thus, this work highlights the impressive abilitie
