【正文】 8．閱讀理解 故選A。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)最后一段“Loop is set to launch later this year in three eastern . states, and also in Paris, France and some of the surrounding area. Then Loop plans to expand to the . West Coast, Toronto, Canada and Britain by the end of this year or 2020.”可知，Loop計(jì)劃在2020年前將業(yè)務(wù)擴(kuò)大到加拿大和法國(guó)。故選C。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。s cities produce 2 billion tons of trash every year. By the year 2050 that number is expected to rise to 3 billion tons. The World Bank estimates that the largest amount of trash today, about 44 percent, is plastic. But we often have to buy packaged goods. And often that packaging is made of plastic.”可知，世界上的城市每年產(chǎn)生大量的垃圾，并且其中最大的垃圾量是塑料，結(jié)合下文可知，作者寫本段目的是為下文提出新的購(gòu)物模式提供背景信息。 （1）考查推理判斷。D.s environmental issue.The development of future city.C.France and Canada.（4）What is the text mainly about? A.Canada and Britain.B.United States and Switzerland.D.Demand of some panies.C.The World Economic Forum.D.Explain the reason for trash.B.Provide background information. Jennifer Morgan from the environmental nonprofit organization Greenpeace also joined in the discussion about Loop at Davos. She said that Greenpeace weles the aim of the Loop Alliance to move away from throwaway culture and disposability. But Morgan questioned whether panies worldwide are ready to change their business models. Loop is the idea of Terra Cycle, an Americanbased recycling pany. Its chief, Tom Szaky told the Associated Press (AP) that removing plastics from the ocean is not enough. He said the point is to get away from singleuse packages. Szaky said that Loop is the future of shopping. But it es from an idea of the past.s cities produce 2 billion tons of trash every year. By the year 2050 that number is expected to rise to 3 billion tons. The World Bank estimates that the largest amount of trash today, about 44 percent, is plastic. But we often have to buy packaged goods. And often that packaging is made of plastic. Environmental experts warn that our planet is drowning in plastic. 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及推理判斷，代詞指代和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，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。因此蝙蝠與鳥不同，蝙蝠可以倒掛著。根據(jù)第三段中的Another interesting characteristic of bat flight is the way in which bats landupside down! Unlike birds which touch down on the ground or on tree branches, bats can be observed flying around and then suddenly hanging upside down from an object overhead. One downside to this landing routine is that the bats often land with some force, which probably causes pain.可知，蝙蝠飛行的另一個(gè)有趣特征是蝙蝠倒立著降落的方式！不同于那些降落在地上或樹枝上的鳥，觀察到蝙蝠可以四處飛行，然后突然倒掛在頭頂?shù)奈矬w上。故選C。劃線部分的上下文說蝙蝠在自我調(diào)節(jié)的能力上要好得多：蝙蝠可以迅速改變飛行方向，或者完全與它（正飛行方向）相反的方向飛行，這是鳥不容易做到的。根據(jù)第二段中的 In the past it was believed that, in terms of flying mechanics, there was little difference between bats and birds. This belief was based only on assumption, however, because for years nobody had actually studied in detail how bats move their wings…This makes coordinating (協(xié)調(diào)) their limbs more difficult for bats and, as a result, they are not very good at flying over longer distances.可推斷出，過去人們認(rèn)為蝙蝠與鳥在飛行運(yùn)動(dòng)方式與鳥沒有區(qū)別，最近的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，這是不正確的，故也是要糾正的，故選C。故選D。尤其是they are much better at the ability to adjust themselves: a bat can quickly change its direction of flight or pletely reverse it, something a bird cannot easily do可知蝙蝠與鳥的運(yùn)動(dòng)不同；第三段中的Another interesting characteristic of bat flight is the way in which bats landupside down! Unlike birds which touch down on the ground or on tree branches,…再一次說明了蝙蝠與鳥運(yùn)動(dòng)方式的不同。根據(jù)第一段中的Both bats and birds have mastered the skill of landing, but these two types of flyers go about it quite differently.提出了蝙蝠與鳥的降落方式及飛行的不同。以前人們認(rèn)為蝙蝠和鳥類在運(yùn)動(dòng)方面沒有什么區(qū)別，但現(xiàn)在的研究證明蝙蝠的構(gòu)造不同于鳥類，它們的翅膀由前肢和后肢組成，它們自我調(diào)節(jié)能力好，可迅速改變飛行方向，或完全逆行，這是鳥類不容易做到的，而且蝙蝠飛行的另一個(gè)有趣特征是蝙蝠倒立著降落的！這不同于那些降落在地上或樹枝上的鳥。D.Bats can hang upside down like birds.C.the ability to change the speed（4）According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A.the sense of flying heightC.the distance to the netsD.They fly similarly to birds.B.They cannot hear any sound.Differences in the eating habits of bats and birds.D.Places where flying animals choose to land.B. Another interesting characteristic of bat flight is the way in which bats landupside down! Unlike birds which touch down on the ground or on tree branches, bats can be observed flying around and then suddenly hanging upside down from an object overhead. One downside to this landing routine is that the bats often land with some force, which probably causes pain. However, not all bats hit their landing spots with the same speed and force。 Being able to land safely is a critically important skill for all flying animals. Comparatively speaking, ground living animals face no particular challenge when they need to stop running or crawling, while flying animals move at much higher speed, and they must be careful about how they land. Hitting the ground, or even water, at full flight speed would be quite dangerous. Before touching down, they must decrease their speed in order to land safely. Both bats and birds have mastered the skill of landing, but these two types of flyers go about it quite differently. 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并結(jié)合題目要求，從而選出正確答案。根據(jù)第三段中的“As a cover for the experiment, all participants were told this snack was to be consumed before the game began.”作為實(shí)驗(yàn)的掩護(hù)，所有受試者都得告在游戲開始前就要吃完這些零食。可知選C。然而，他們還推斷，這種方式可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致人們更加了解他人的需求，從而推動(dòng)合作性的行為。根據(jù)第二段中的“However, they also reasoned that it could instead lead people to bee more aware of others39?？芍猣amilystyle指的是與別人一起用餐，故選B。 needs and drive cooperative behavior as a result.”他們形成了一套理論，認(rèn)為一方面，與他人一起吃飯可能表明糧食短缺，并加強(qiáng)了競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的概念。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。To avoid the distraction during the game.【答案】 （1）B（2）C（3）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了外交宴席的心理學(xué)To hide the intention of the experiment.B.To find out whether sharing food can get people cl
