They could free our cities of pollution by replacing petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles with electric cars, and cut the cost of electricity. The new materials do something that even the best of conductors such as copper and silver cannot—they do away with all electrical resistance. The significances for energy storage are great.【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇科普類閱讀,考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息,根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理,選出正確答案。根據(jù)第四段做的“To the researcher39。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段做的“Even so, the fact that these archerfish could ‘remember’ those faces demonstrates that they have an impressive memory for details that lasts much longer than the originally thought 3 seconds!”可推知噴水魚可以辨別精細(xì)的圖案,故選B。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段做的“And this accuracy improved to 86% when the researchers made the identification even harder, by replacing the colored photos with a set of black and white images and hiding the shape of the head.”可知研究人員使用黑白圖像是為了增加這項(xiàng)任務(wù)的難度,故選C。根據(jù)第一段做的“While your pet fish may appear to be unaware of your presence, chances are that it knows you extremely well and can probably even identify you from a crowd of human faces!”和第二段做的“To test if this was accurate, some scientists decided to study archerfish(噴水魚).”可知這項(xiàng)研究的目的是證明噴水魚可以認(rèn)出人臉,故選C。The results shocked the researchers.【答案】(1)C(2)C(3)B(4)D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,介紹了科學(xué)家對噴水魚做的實(shí)驗(yàn),實(shí)驗(yàn)表明魚也很“聰明”,它們沒有復(fù)雜的大腦但是卻有辨認(rèn)面孔的能力。Fish are as clever as humans.C.Archerfish could remember plex facial information.(4)What can we infer from the text?

Even so, the fact that these archerfish could “remember” those faces demonstrates that they have an impressive memory for details that lasts much longer than the originallythought 3 seconds!s astonishment, the trained archerfish were able to recall the learned image almost 81% of the time. And this accuracy improved to 86% when the researchers made the identification even harder, by replacing the colored photos with a set of black and white images and hiding the shape of the head. They began by presenting four archerfish with images of two human faces. Initially, the fish spit at both. However, they soon learned spitting water at the one selected by the researchers earned them a food treat. After that, they focused primarily on that image. The researchers then took the experiment one step further by introducing 44 other human faces to the mix. To test if this was accurate, some scientists decided to study archerfish(噴水魚).
