【正文】 mposed by predation(捕食行為) could explain the occurrence of iridescence in prey animals. s viewed, is favored by everything from birds to beetles and blossoms to butterflies. A good disguise keeps you hidden, right? Well, sometimes the best disguise is actually the most dazzling because research reveals that flashy metallic iridescence(金屬彩虹色) can visually puzzle predators, which allows colorful prey to survive another day. Those surprising results appear in the journal Scientific Reports. 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息，同時根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案?？v觀全文可知，本文介紹了最近的一項研究，一種新的轉(zhuǎn)基因水稻可以預防艾滋病病毒的感染。故選C。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The scientific team says further testing is needed to ensure that the genetic engineering process does not produce any additional chemicals that could be dangerous to people.”可知，科學研究小組認為要進一步的測試，以確?；蚬こ踢^程不會產(chǎn)生任何可能對人類有害的額外化學物質(zhì)。故選D。根據(jù)第五段中的“They say the easiest and most costeffective way to use the rice will be to make it into a cream to be put on the skin.”可知，最簡單、最劃算的使用方法是將大米制成面霜涂在皮膚上。分析選項可知A項符合題意， 故選A。盡管口服藥物治療已經(jīng)有了進展減緩了疾病的發(fā)展，但現(xiàn)在還沒有治愈艾滋病毒/艾滋病的方法”。 （1）考查推理判斷。A first aid brochure.【答案】 （1）A（2）D（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了科學家培育出可預防艾滋病病毒感染的轉(zhuǎn)基因水稻。A health magazine.C.It applies to the developed world.（4）From which is the text probably taken? A.It can produce dangerous chemicals.C.By processing it into a cream.（3）What can we infer about the genetic engineering process? A.By adding it to an oral drug.C.Introduce HIV to the public.（2）In which way will the rice be used at the lowest cost? A.Provide some data about HIV.C. The process of changing the genetic structure of food crops has been debated for some time. Critics of genetically engineered crops believe they can harm people. The scientific team says further testing is needed to ensure that the genetic engineering process does not produce any additional chemicals that could be dangerous to people.（1）What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3? A. The new study predicts the ricebased method will lead to longterm use of the antiHIV treatment across the developing world. Researchers said the groundbreaking discovery is realistically the only way that antiHIV bination treatments can be produced at a cost low enough for the developing world. The study reports the newlydeveloped rice produces proteins that attach directly to the HIV virus. This process prevents the virus from mixing with human cells. The scientists say it can remove the effect of the virus and block its spreading.4．犇犇閱讀理解 ”故選B。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Previous studies have shown some primates (靈長目動物), birds, babies and even spiders can add and/or subtract. The new research, published in Science Advances, adds bees to that list.”此前的研究表明，一些靈長類動物、鳥類、嬰兒甚至蜘蛛都可以加減法。故選C。但是數(shù)字認知，比如精確的數(shù)字和算術(shù)運算，需要更復雜的處理。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。t require a massive brain, there might also be new ways for us to include interactions of both longterm rules and working memory in designs to improve rapid AI learning of new problems,”如果數(shù)學不需要一個巨大的大腦，那么在設(shè)計中，我們也可能有新的方法來包括長期規(guī)則和工作記憶的互動，從而提高人工智能對新問題的快速學習，可知，Adrian Dyer認為，蜜蜂的數(shù)字認知對人工智能的未來發(fā)展可能有影響。 （2）考查推理判斷。研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)了蜜蜂能做基本的數(shù)學。根據(jù)第一段中的“Australia showed that bees could perform arithmetic operations like addition and subtraction (減法).”澳大利亞證明蜜蜂可以做加法和減法等算術(shù)運算。發(fā)表在《科學進展》(Science Advances)雜志上的這項新研究將蜜蜂也列入了這一名單。The Relationship Between Brain Size and Brain Power【答案】 （1）D（2）B（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，RMIT大學的研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)了蜜蜂能做基本的數(shù)學。New Findings About Bees Having Numerical CogintionC.Some primates, birds and even spiders can add and substract.（4）What can be the best title for the text? A.Arithmetic operations exist in human and bees.C.calls for a lot of maths knowledge（3）What does the finding of the new research suggest? A.has a possible effect on the future development of AIC. numerical cognition ________. A.Bees can perform plex arithmetic operations.D.The relationship between brain size and brain power.B. Many species can understand the difference between quantities and use this to search for food, make decisions and solve problems. But numerical cognition, such as exact number and arithmetic operations, requires a more plex level of processing. “If math doesn39。s Professor Adrian Dyer said numerical (數(shù)字的) operations like addition and subtraction are plex because they require two levels of processing. “You need to be able to hold the rules around adding and subtracting in your longterm memory, while mentally using skillfully a set of given numbers in your shortterm memory,” Dyer said. “On top of this, our bees also used their shortterm memories to solve arithmetic problems, as they learned to recognize plus or minus as abstract concepts.” Solving math problems requires a plex level of involving the mental management of numbers, longterm rules and shortterm working memory. The finding that even the tiny brain of a honeybee can grasp basic mathematical operations has a possible effect on the future development of Artificial Intelligence, particularly in improving rapid learning.3．犇犇閱讀理解 故選A。全文最后三句是站在患者角度闡述這個活動的意義。故選D。We need to develop systems which reduce mistakes and misunderstanding without causing harm.”可知,他們想建立一種在不造成傷害的情況下盡可能減少錯誤和誤解的系統(tǒng)，而要達到這個目的，首先要讓每個人知道醫(yī)生是人類，是有人情味的。 （3）考查詞義猜測。所以這項活動目的是盡量避免錯誤和交流中的誤解。Theatre Cap Challenge39。 （2）考查推理判斷。 names and roles on their caps.”Rob提出在手術(shù)帽上寫上名字和職位，由此可知他是支持這一想法的。 （1）考查推理判斷。Uncaring【答案】 （1）B（2）C（3）D（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，在手術(shù)室里，醫(yī)生和護士都戴著手術(shù)帽和口罩，只露出眼睛和眉毛，這讓周圍的人認不出他們，導致在交流過程中產(chǎn)生誤會。C.Disapproving attitude towards the campaign?
