【正文】 of Australian aboriginal languages use them, for example. But in cultures that have discovered farming, these consonants (輔音) are much more mon. The argument goes that farmers eat more cooked food and more dairy than hunter gatherers. Either way, they need to chew mush less, and to bite less with their front teeth. So farmers grew up with smaller lower jaws and more of an overbite than their ancestors who had to bite through harder foods. It became easier for them to make the labiodental consonants instead of purely labial (唇音) ones: one example is that f e to take the place of p. Romans said pater but English speakers (unless they39。d rather think of language as product of our thought Babies have an astonishing talent that adults entirely lose. By the age of one, they can recognise the significant noises around them and group them into a language. When we have lost this capacity as adults, it bees enormously difficult to distinguish between sounds that are glaringly different to a native speaker. It all sounds Greek to us. This is because the range of possible sounds that humans use to convey meaning may be as high as 2,000, but few languages use more than 100 and even then the significant noises－the phonemes (音素) of a language－each cover a range of sounds and so vague distinctions which would change the meaning of a word in other languages. 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個(gè)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，同時(shí)根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行推理，歸納，從而選出正確答案。 （3）考查主旨大意。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。 such as pregnant women 173。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。International researches into Zika have paid offD. in miceB.Zika vaccine 39。None of the mice given the vaccine caught Zika.D.many countries are actively involved in the research of the Zika vaccine.B.a licensed vaccine will still not be accessible in a short term.D.a vaccine for use in the laboratory will be still be years away.B.based vaccines.

US scientists from the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School tested two types of Zika vaccine in mice – one based on bits of genetic(基因的) code from the virus and another that is an inactive (and therefore harmless) copy of Zika. Both worked well, protecting every mouse that was immunised against the virus. In parison, all of the mice not given the vaccine caught Zika after they were exposed to it. such as pregnant women 173。 A single dose(劑量) of an experimental vaccine(疫苗) can protect mice against the Zika(寨卡) virus, raising renewed hope of a vaccine for humans, say scientists. The US team say the results, published in Nature, are striking and should encourage research efforts. 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇環(huán)境類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，同時(shí)根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。根據(jù)最后一段中的“…At the current rate, the world39。根據(jù)第一段中的“to reach a newly revealed ecosystem that had been hidden for 120,000 years below the Larsen C ice shelf.”到達(dá)一個(gè)新發(fā)現(xiàn)的在拉森冰架下面隱藏了12萬年的的生態(tài)系統(tǒng)，可知選D。故選C。 （2）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第二段中的“Now scientists say it is a race against time to explore these new ecosystems before they are transformed to the light.”可知，科學(xué)家著急趕去世界最大的冰山是為了在其受到光照影響之前研究這座冰山下面的海洋生態(tài)系統(tǒng)。冰山下面顯現(xiàn)的新的海洋生態(tài)系統(tǒng)為科學(xué)家提供了研究未知的海洋生物的機(jī)會(huì)。Many creatures living in deep water will die out due to climate change.D.There is no need to worry about climate change in Antarctica.B.It will disappear in a very short time.D.It is as big as London.B.The A68 iceberg with the ecosystem beneath it.D.The Larsen C ice shelf.B.To explore a new way to prevent climate change.D.To study how the iceberg was formed.B. There is growing concern about the possible impact of climate change in the Antarctic. Earlier this month, a report revealed that melting ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica are speeding up the already fast pace of the sea level rise. The research, published by the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine, said, At the current rate, the world39。 Professor David Vaughan, science director at the BAs, said, We need to be bold (大膽的) on this one. Larsen C is a long way south and there39。 Last year, part of the Larsen C ice shelf calved (崩解) away, forming a huge icebergA68—which is four times bigger than London, and revealing life beneath for the first time. Now scientists say it is a race against time to explore these new ecosystems before they are transformed to the light. Marine biologist Dr Katrin Linse from the BAS is leading the mission.

The scientists, led by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), are trying to reach a newly revealed ecosystem that had been hidden for 120,000 years below the Larsen C ice shelf. The calving of A68 provides us with a unique opportunity to study marine life as it responds to a huge environment change, she said. It is important that we get there quickly before the undersea environment changes as sunlight enters the water.s lots of sea ice in the area, but this is important science, so we will try our best to get the team where they need to be. He said climate change had already affected the sea around Antarctica and is warming some coastal waters. Future warming may make some habitats warm. Where these habitats support unique species that are adapted to love the cold and not the warm, those species are going to either move or die.s ocean will be, on average, at least 60cm higher by the end of
