It calculates how big the chances are that two people will be friends by studying their genes. People who share certain genes also share skills and have similar likes and dislikes, researchers said. In ancient times, it was critical that people who were alike stayed together. For example, people who had a similar susceptibility (易感性) to the cold were more likely to help each other build a fire, giving them a better chance to survive. One percent may not sound like much to the layperson (外行), but to geneticists (遺傳學(xué)家) it is a significant number, Professor Nicholas Christakis of Yale University told Discovery News. In fact, this is the same amount of genes you share with your fourth cousins, those who have the same greatgreatgreat grandparents as you. t just an expression. A study by Yale University and the University of California, San Diego, has found that you and your friends have more genes in mon than strangers do, the Guardian reported. Do you have good friends? Do you sometimes feel so close to them that they are like family to you?【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解,詞義猜測和推理判斷三個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇介紹類閱讀,考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息,根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。所以確定答案為Effective but worrying。(4)考查推理判斷。t there yet and many people are happy to shareas long as it pays!”這句話告訴我們這種共享經(jīng)濟(jì)由于是新事物而且沒有規(guī)則約束,受到很多人的歡迎。(3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。一家住房率很高的知名酒店肯定不需要共享。(2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“Both of these can help you make money”推出feeling the pinch指的是那些缺錢的人出租自己的東西來獲取利潤。Traditional and acceptable【答案】(1)A(2)D(3)C(4)C 【解析】【分析】本文是一片應(yīng)用文,介紹了一些能夠獲益的方法與例子.文中通過幾個(gè)例子告訴我們只要能夠用心觀察每一處的機(jī)會,你就會成功從中獲益。Competitive but unpracticalC.The new business has no risks(4)Which of the following words can best describe the booming business?
