【正文】 rm studies…h(huán)elped to fuel a viewpoint shift in our society: the public no longer so easily accepts monkeys made to undergo painful procedure kin laboratories, elephants forced to perform in circuses, and dolphins kept in small tanks at theme parks.”可知，數(shù)十年前，作者堅(jiān)信猴子和猩猩在思考能力和情感上都勝過其他的動(dòng)物。長期的研究也促進(jìn)著我們社會(huì)觀點(diǎn)的轉(zhuǎn)變：我們不再認(rèn)為猴子只能是實(shí)驗(yàn)室里的實(shí)驗(yàn)對(duì)象，大象只能在馬戲團(tuán)里進(jìn)行表演，海豚只能被養(yǎng)在主題公園狹小的池子里。故選C。第一段提出：科學(xué)開始擁抱原來被我們認(rèn)為是二等公民的動(dòng)物們（即：我們對(duì)某些動(dòng)物的看法正在發(fā)生變化）。第四段介紹了人們對(duì)動(dòng)物看法的轉(zhuǎn)變。結(jié)合每段大意可知，該文主要是圍繞動(dòng)物也有情感有思想來展開的?！军c(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及推理判斷。6．閱讀下列短文，從短文后每題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 A new technology is going to ripe, one that could transform our daily lives, help to form new industries, even remove world economic powers from their present positions. Unlike the wave of industrialization that began in the West and spread later to the rest of the world, the new developments are taking place in research labs all over the globe—and Asians are in the forefront. Physicists are creating a new class of materials that display an amazing property unforeseen even two years ago—superconductivity (超導(dǎo)體技術(shù)). The technology is in its early stage, still accessible to countries that decide to invest brains and money. For 75 years it had remained little more than a scientific curiosity with limited practical use because the phenomenon occurred only at extremely low temperatures. It was first observed in 1911 by a Dutch scientist named Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, who cooled mercury (水銀) to temperatures below 269℃ with liquid helium (氦). Then in January last year, two IBM scientists, K. Alex Muller and J. George Bednorz, found a metal oxide ceramic (氧化陶瓷) that superconducted at 243℃. Their report went largely unnoticed until last December, when it was confirmed at a scientific meeting in Boston. Today Japan, India, China and other Asian countries all have their share of experts who spend their days and nights in labs, acting as midwives (助產(chǎn)士) to a new technology.（1）As is indicated in the passage, the technology of superconductivity ____________. A.B.will be used only in specialized equipmentwill be used in daily lives in a few years（2）The new technology differs from the others in that ____________. A.B.it is being cultivated in research labs around the worldit is accessible to physicists who are intelligent and rich（3）From the passage, we may conclude that ____________. A.B.IBM scientists39。D.The Prospect of a New TechnologyB.A New Technology: The Key to Change the Way of Our LivesA New Technology: A Joint Effort of Many Countries【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了超導(dǎo)體技術(shù)的發(fā)展?jié)撃芎桶l(fā)展?fàn)顩r。根據(jù)第一段中的“ A new technology is going to ripe, one that could transform our daily lives, help to form new industries, even remove world economic powers from their present positions. ”一項(xiàng)新技術(shù)即將成熟，它可以改變我們的日常生活，幫助形成新的產(chǎn)業(yè)，甚至將世界經(jīng)濟(jì)強(qiáng)國從其目前的地位上移除；以及第三段中的“The technology is in its early stage, still accessible to countries that decide to invest brains and money”技術(shù)還處于早期階段，那些決定投資于人才和資金的國家仍然可以獲得這項(xiàng)技術(shù)，可知選B。根據(jù)第一段中的“Unlike the wave of industrialization that began in the West and spread later to the rest of the world, the new developments are taking place in research labs all over the globe—and Asians are in the forefront.”與開始于西方，后來傳播到世界其他地區(qū)工業(yè)化的浪潮不同，全球各地的研究實(shí)驗(yàn)室都在進(jìn)行新的研究——亞洲人走在最前線。（3）考查推理判斷。（4）考查主旨大意?！军c(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科普類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。 The setting was a packed gymnasium just before the start of a game against another school. There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team—all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach39。 While the school had been out for the New Year39。 Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn39。s decision. The team may not win another game this year. But they39。s action on others, and honesty that will serve them well throughout life.（1）It can be inferred from the passage that the five girls who were kicked off the team were ________. A.B.three junior students and two senior studentsscolded by their parents for drinking alcohol（2）What did the girls do to support their coach39。They didn39。B.They admitted their mistake in public in the gymnasium.They would never drink any alcohol throughout their life.（3）Which word best describes the coach Rainville? A.Strict.C.Cruel.（4）Which would be the best title for the passage? A.A bad mistakeC.D.五個(gè)女孩接受了處罰，并做出了公開道歉。根據(jù)第一段中的“They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach39。s decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little munity that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness.”可知，這幾個(gè)女孩是很好的隊(duì)員，她們勇敢承認(rèn)了違反了團(tuán)隊(duì)紀(jì)律，并支持教練把她們開除出隊(duì)的決定。(2)考查推理判斷。s decision to take them off the team.”以及第二段中的“That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach39。故選C。根據(jù)第三段中的“Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make.”和“The coach said she couldn39。故選B。文章講述了五個(gè)女孩因?yàn)楹染票婚_除出籃球隊(duì)的故事，文章最后一段對(duì)這件事情做了總結(jié)，因此可知文章主要想告訴讀者這些女孩通過這件事學(xué)會(huì)了負(fù)責(zé)任，了解了自己的行為對(duì)他人的影響，誠實(shí)會(huì)讓她們一生受益。故選A。8．閱讀理解s not because there are a lot of criminals running around stealing cars.
