The mapping of the durian genome also showed some other information on the species. First of all, the fruit has an impressive number of genes, namely 46,000. Also, with the help of these genes, they saw how it evolved, and discovered it was related to the cacao tree. All the other discoveries have been published in the journal Nature Genetics. The fruit confuses everyone with a sulfuric smell, like rotten onions and ingredients. The smell lasts long, mostly because the fruit contains more volatile sulfur pounds. Other species usually benefit from two gene copies at most, but durian has four, leading to the striking smell. Durian(榴蓮) is probably the smelliest fruit in the world, letting out an unusual unpleasant smell which would make anyone bring up. However, nobody was aware of what gave this fruit its unique smell, so a team of researchers from Singapore decided to take a look at its genome (基因組) and find out,【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，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，同時(shí)根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，選出正確答案。根據(jù)最后一段中的“He handed out presents and made us laugh.

The study was a project involving researchers at Peking University in China and Yale University in the United States.”可知，本文的話題是研究表明空氣污染會(huì)大大降低人們的智力。故選B。研究人員還強(qiáng)調(diào)，每個(gè)國家，無論是發(fā)達(dá)國家，發(fā)展中國家還是貧窮國家，都應(yīng)關(guān)注空氣污染否則人類將面臨一個(gè)糟糕的局面。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。即Xi Chen對這項(xiàng)研究說的是“研究結(jié)果是相對客觀和有說服力的。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。即研究結(jié)果是空氣污染會(huì)對人們的智力產(chǎn)生不良影響。根據(jù)第二段中的“The researchers reported that longterm exposure to air pollution can affect a person39。s influence on verbal ability is less serious as people age.（4）Where is the text most likely taken from? life diary. guidebook. science magazine. biography.【答案】 （1）A（2）D（3）B（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，一項(xiàng)新的研究表明，長期暴露在空氣污染中會(huì)在語言和數(shù)學(xué)兩個(gè)方面影響一個(gè)人的智力，因此每個(gè)國家都應(yīng)關(guān)注空氣污染否則人類將面臨一個(gè)糟糕的局面。The researchers noted that the effect of air pollution on verbal ability is even more serious as people age, especially among men and the less educated. The researchers also stressed that every country, whether developed, developing or poor, should focus on air pollution or humans will face a bad situation.（1）What is the result of the study? pollution has a bad effect on people39。He noted that the youngest people in the study were 10 years old, while the oldest was 90 years old. They came from China39。 s education level by about one year. The researchers studied about 25,000 people from across China. Between 2010 and 2014, these Chinese men, women and children were given language and math tests. Then researchers pared the test results with measurements of pollution in the air, namely nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide (二氧化硫).The researchers reported that longterm exposure to air pollution can affect a person39。 3．閱讀理解 可以推斷出當(dāng)時(shí)的處境困難，故選A。s thousands of attendees would cause huge problems for the bird and its eggs.”可知Monahan說，為期11天的節(jié)日活動(dòng)中，移動(dòng)鳥巢能確保鳥兒和其幼鳥得到保護(hù)。s 11day run, said Monahan.
