【正文】 hanges 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 create significant noisesB.understand the Greek languageD.Lips and teeth.Jobs and habits.Age and regions.Food and thinking.（3）The reason for farmers39。. A.biting more with front teethC.growing up with lager lower jaws（4）By writing this passage, the author intends to reveal jaws help shape our thoughtB.diet has some influence on languageD.且以f和v的發(fā)音為例，揭示了農(nóng)民們發(fā)f和v音的原因是他們喜歡吃更多的熟食。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。本段提到sound和diet是有關(guān)系的,也就是food食物；另外也和思考有關(guān)the product of thought,本段最后說到和兩者都有關(guān)系。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。故選A。根據(jù)第二段中的“We39。以及文章內(nèi)容可知敘述的都是日常飲食和發(fā)音對語言的影響，故選C。5．犇犇閱讀理解 Research suggested that WiFi can now be used to estimate the volume of liquids such as water, acid, alcohol and other chemicals for explosive material. The study led by researchers at the Wireless Information Network Laboratory (WINLAB) in the School. of Engineering showed a wireless device with two to three antennas(天線)that could be fitted in existing WiFi networks. When it was tested on a backpack, the accuracy rate topped 95 percent. But the accuracy dropped to about 90 percent when objects inside bags are wrapped. And the tech could save lives if used in museums, stadiums, theme parks or schools, the team said, noting its design can inspect bags or luggage without being an exposure to privacy.s a growing need for that now. In large public areas, it39。s in airports. Manpower is always needed to check bags and we want to develop a method to try to reduce manpower.”The function of the technique.The way the device works.C.D.s the advantage of the device? A.It passes through bags without damaging them.C. signals.D.To save money and labour.B.To protect passengers39。To research dangerous objects.（4）Which of the following can replace the underlined word “ameliorating in the last paragraph? A.Improving.C.Examining.【答案】 （1）B（2）D（3）A（4）B 【解析】【分析】本是一篇說明文，介紹了研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，WiFi可用于可用于安檢。根據(jù)第三段中的“The detection system analyzes what happens when wireless signals go through and bounce off objects or materials.”這個檢測系統(tǒng)分析信號在物體和材料上穿透和反射時會發(fā)生什么。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。 （3）考查推理判斷，根據(jù)第五段中的“In large public areas, it39。s in airports. Manpower is always needed to check bags and we want to develop a method to try to reduce manpower.”檢查行李總是需要人力，我們希望開發(fā)一種互補的方法來減少人力，可推知選A。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Future work will continue to focus on ameliorating the accuracy of identifying objects and imaging shapes and volumes”今后的工作將繼續(xù)側(cè)重于提高識別物體和成像形狀及體積的準確性，故選B。6．犇犇Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. s increased positive outlook. Our research took us in the fascinating direction of exploring how the body uses its energy.re being chased by a tiger, you don39。s cold. What you need is to shift all available energy resources to your legs, with the hope that you will live to experience another cough or sneeze.re happy, but to slow down dramatically when we39。muscles will respond to it by relaxing a little bitB.immune system will temporarily shut down to fulfill itD.experiences and related knowledgehappiness and biological evolutionC.optimism and length of life（3）What can be concluded from Robert Trivers39。Younger people adopt strategies of handling tense situations from everyday life.B.Realizing that their days are numbered, older people prefer being positive.D.Brain, muscles and immune systemB.Ancestors, emergency and evolutionEnergy, effort and response【答案】 （1）C（2）D（3）D（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，研究表明，老年人往往會記住生活中積極的事物，而不是消極的事物。特里弗斯合作研究身體是如何使用能量的，他們的發(fā)現(xiàn)解釋了這一現(xiàn)象。根據(jù)第二段中的“We have an enormous number of immune cells coursing through our body, a momentary break from production is fine. So, when our body needs extra energy, one of the places it goes is our immune function.”可知我們的身體里有大量的免疫細胞，暫時停止運作是可以的。由此可以推斷，免疫系統(tǒng)會暫時停止來為身體提供額外的能量。 （2）考查詞義猜測。也就是說積極與免疫功能之間有關(guān)系，越積極，免疫功能越強，就能活得越久，所有選項中D項（樂觀與壽命）之間最切題，故選D。根據(jù)最后一段中的As a result, our immune system evolved to run in maximum amounts when we39。re not.可知當我們快樂時，我們的免疫系統(tǒng)進化到最大程度，但是當我們不快樂時，免疫系統(tǒng)會減弱。選D。作者開頭提出老年人更關(guān)注積極的事情，后文提到積極的情緒會增強免疫系統(tǒng)，所以本文主要講的是年齡，健康與積極的情緒之間的關(guān)系，選B。7．閱讀理解 Looking like something in a scifi movie, the pod is equipped with solar panels, which guarantee solar energy as its power. In this way the tiny home can let you live fortably wherever you travel. It even has its own shower and toilet, sleeping area for two, and a small kitchen. The 3,306 ib pods can be transported in a seacontainer, meaning the possibilities are endless. The 86 sqft pods are able to sleep two people for up to year and for those worried about a cold night39。 The pod is designed to cope with extreme weather conditions due to its innovative (創(chuàng)新的) design and materials used. No wonder the Nice Architects are so confident about its future and the producers are receiving heavy orders.（1）Where does the Ecocapsule get power? A.From a portable battery.C.From electric cars.（2）Whom may be the Ecocapsule initially designed for? A.Office ladies.C.Field biologists.（3）The Ecocapsule39。t worry about coldness because _______. A.B.it has a solar panelit has an air conditioner（4）How do the designers view the Ecocapsule39。Optimistic.Negative.Worried.Doubtful.【答案】 （1）C（2）D（3）B（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了一款便攜式產(chǎn)品——Ecocapsule的功能、設(shè)計原理、大小、技術(shù)構(gòu)造等情況。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。可知該產(chǎn)品從太陽能板獲得能量。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解?？芍狤cocapsules是專門為野外生物學家設(shè)計的。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。s sleep, the Ecocapsule has a thick layer which significantly reduce heat loss.“這86平方英尺的獨立艙可以讓兩個人睡上一年，對于那些擔心晚上睡不好覺的人來說，這種Ecoca
