But neither can it be reduced to the purely physical, as our inability to understand or even to recognise foreign languages makes clear. The food we eat shapes our jaws, and our jaws in turn shape the sounds of our language. The ease with which we eat probably shapes our thought too, as anyone who has suffered toothache could testify. What we eat may have shaped the sounds of our language, but how we eat changes how we feel and what we use language to express. A family meal is very different from a sandwich at the office desk, even if the calorie is the same. Food has purposes and meanings far beyond keeping us alive and pleasing the Palate (味覺).（1）Compared with adults, babies could more easily re Rees－Moggs) say father.rather than of the arrangement of our teeth. In reality, though, any given language must be both. But where do these phonemes e from and why do they shift over time? New research suggests that the apparently arbitrary distribution of some sounds around the world may be partially explained by diet. This is unexpected.

A.US scientists have tested more than two types of Zika vaccine in mice.C.The Zika virus will cause less serious birth defects during pregnancy in months.（2）Which of the following statements is NOT true? A.pregnant women in Africa will be the first to benefit from the vaccine.C.. A. Researchers say they will push ahead with developing the needed virus vaccine. There are many existing vaccines for other disease that use this type of technology, while there are relatively few DNA173。 would still be years away, experts advise. Zika has been spreading across Central and South America and, most recently, Africa. More than 60 countries and territories now have continuing transmission(傳播) of the disease, which is carried by mosquitoes. The virus causes serious birth damages during pregnancy and has been declared a global public health emergency. Tests in humans could begin in months. But even if these go well, a licensed vaccine for widespread use to protect those at most risk 173。3．犇犇閱讀理解 故選C。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的I think the potential of AI in healthcare like this is as big as the Industrial Revolution was—and signals a pletely new example in the way we manage healthcare. 楊教授認(rèn)為，人工智能在醫(yī)療保健領(lǐng)域的潛力與工業(yè)革命一樣大，以此類比，說明人工智能在醫(yī)療領(lǐng)域的影響力。故選C。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。此處screen意為“篩查”。 （1）考查詞義猜測。It will promote the health service greatly.D.It helps patients recover earlier.B.To introduce the topic of superputers.D.To show the influence of AI.B.D. cases.C.B.nurse（2）How do superputers help save lives? A.spottreatfort The technology is the brainchild of Dr Vishal Nangalia, a consultant at the Royal Free Hospital in London. He used AI to analyse a billion stored blood samples from 20 different UK hospital trusts dating back up to 12 years. Computers assess blood test results by picking up subtle changes in red and white blood cells, suggesting a patient is going downhill. Superputers which can analyse blood samples and predict which patients are likely to bee seriously ill could save tens of thousands of lives a year, it was revealed last night, according to The Daily Express.2．犇犇閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。所以選D。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的Adult language learners of a second language may use their declarative memory for using grammar patterns.可知，成年語言學(xué)習(xí)者在學(xué)習(xí)第二語言時，是刻意地在使用語法句式。 such as how you learn to ride a bicycle.可知，程序性運動記憶就是我們常說的運動記憶，比如學(xué)習(xí)騎自行車等技能，故選A。 （2）考查推理判斷。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。Human beings learn language in pre human area of brain.【答案】 （1）D（2）A（3）C（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，講述Michael Ullman和他的團隊的研究稱人類大腦前區(qū)的為語言學(xué)習(xí)區(qū)，由此解開了人類大腦進化過程之謎。A new research helps people learn a new language.C.s the main idea of the text?
