【正文】 he possibilities of animal intelligence. 練習(xí) : 1. Paragraph 1_____ 2. Paragraph 2_____ 3. Paragraph 3_____ 4. Paragraph 4_____ A Reason Why Not Many Scientists Carry out This Research Nowdays B Report about Washoe39。 Contributions Recognized E Debate on Chimps39。s Love for Three Young Chimps 5. Washoe could make signs to municate_____. 6. Some scientists doubted_____. 7. Washoe taught three younger chimps sign language_____. 8. The experimenters thought Washoe was intelligent_____. A if the Gardeners39。用 General Information about Washoe 來概括是很準(zhǔn)確的。s progress in a scientific report。所 以， Report about Washoe39。 3. E 第三段介紹了對 Gardener 夫婦發(fā)表的報告有兩種不同的解讀。另一派認(rèn)為這是智能的表現(xiàn)，其證據(jù)是 Washoe 還能教三個小猩猩學(xué)習(xí)手語。選項 E 用 debate 來概括上述爭論，所以是答案。部分原因是研究周期太長。 6. A 第三段的上半段說了一些科學(xué)家對 Gardener 夫婦的實驗的解讀所持懷疑態(tài)度。 7. D 選 D 的依據(jù)是第三段的最后一句，即 He took Washoe to a research center in Ellensburg， Washington. There， Washoe taught sign language to three younger chimpanzees， which are still alive. 8. E 本文第二段談到實驗的成果時有這一個句子 : She could request foods like apples and ，選擇 E 是正確的 。 具體解題步驟 : 一、首先通過文章標(biāo)題及文章的開始確定 中心思想 。 三、瀏覽第一題題干及其選項， 篩選選項 。 選項中有 all/every/only 時，一般都不是正確答案。 一般選項中出現(xiàn)了中心詞，而其他沒有出現(xiàn) 時，該項為正確答案。 如選項較長，就先讀容易的選項。 四、如選項中無提示，便從頭閱讀文章。（ 正確選項中會出現(xiàn) 文中的原詞、詞的變化形式（改寫）、同義詞、近義詞 （同義浮現(xiàn)）和與話題相關(guān)詞匯。t let its small size fool you:WISE has a powerful digital camera, and it will be taking pictures of some the wildest objects2 in the known universe,including asteroids,faint stars,blazing galaxies3 and giant clouds of dust where plas and stars are born. I39。re going to be seeing parts of the universe that we haven39。t be like everyday digital photographs,however. WISE stands forWidefield Infrared Survey Explorer.As its name suggests,the WISE camera takes pictures of features that give off infrared radiation6. Radiation is energy that travels as a wave. Visible light, including the familiar spectrum of light7 that bees visible in a rainbow,is an example of radiation. When an ordinary digital camera takes a picture of a tree,for example,it receives the waves of visible light that are reflected off the tree. When these waves enter the camera through the lens,they39。t see them,and neither do the eyes of human beings. Although invisible to the eye,longer infrared radiation can be detected as warmth by the skin. That39。t. Not everything in the universe shows up in visible light. Asteroids,for example,are giant rocks that float through space 一 but they absorb most of the light that reaches them. They don39。re difficult to see. But they do give off infrared radiation, so an infrared telescope like WISE will be able to produce images of them. During its mission WISE will take pictures of hundreds of thousands of asteroids. Brown dwarfs8 are another kind of deepspace object that will show up in WISE39。re so dim that they39。tr230。n/n．垃圾箱 infrared/39。red/ adj．紅外線 asteroid/39。st?r?id/ n. 小行星 dwarf/dw?:f/ n. 矮星 jump start: 啟動 練習(xí)： 1 .What is so special about WISE? A It is small in size but carries a large camera. B It is as small as a trashcan. C Its digital camera can help astronomers to see the unknown space. D Never before has a telescope carried a digital camera in space. 2. Which is NOT the synonym for the word snap in the third paragraph? A make. B shoot. C take D photograph. 3. The camera on WISE A is no different from an ordinary camera. B does not see infrared radiation while the ordinary camera does. C catches the infrared radiation while the ordinary camera does not. D reflects light that human eyes can see. 4. Which of the following is NOT correct aboutasteroids according to paragraph 7? A Asteroids float through space giving off visible light. B Asteroids do not reflect light that reaches them. C It is difficult to take asteroids39。 WISE 的特殊之處就在于，雖然體積小，但它的數(shù)碼相機(jī)能拍到任何天體，所以能夠幫助天文學(xué)家觀測到宇宙空間中（ in the known universe ）的未知天文現(xiàn)象。 2. A snap 是個多義詞，可以解釋為 “拍照 ”，更為確切的意思是 “拍快照 ”。 3. C 短文第六段和第四段提供了答案。 4. A 短文第七段第二句說并非所有的宇宙中的物體都會發(fā)出可見光，比如asteroids ，所以 A 是正確選項。 5. B 最后一段的第一句說，褐矮星能出現(xiàn)在 WISE 照片中，根據(jù)上文對 WISE 望遠(yuǎn)鏡的描述只有 WISE 望遠(yuǎn)鏡才能拍到紅外線射線，所以 B 是正確選擇。s Centre for Ecology and Conservation, said:Ants are very effective predators which thrive in huge numbers.

C attack those invading animals for survival. D produce such a big impact on the environment. 4. What does paragraph 6 tell us? A Ants bring about a negative influence to an area when their population is small. B Ants bring about a positive influence to an area when their population is small. C Ants39。 influence on a given ecosystem? D How do ants alter the physical and chemical environment? 答案與題解： 1. C 短文的第一段提供了答案。 答案能夠從短文的第三段直接找到。 prey 在這里的意思是 “捕獵，捕食 ”，作為動詞，后面跟介詞 on或 upon。句中 the subtleties of it 的意思是：螞蟻對環(huán)境影響的精妙之處。第七段 Dr Frank van Veen 表達(dá)了大體相同的內(nèi)容。第二句告訴我們，螞蟻極易受人類的影響（ these anisms are highly responsive to human impact），第三句告訴我們，科學(xué)家還不清楚人類對螞蟻這種干擾如何破壞螞蟻對生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的維護(hù)作用（ ”it is not clear how such disturbance damages the maintenance of ant services to the ecosystem.”） 第五部分 補全短文 一、題型介紹 閱讀一篇短文，文中有 5處空白，文章后面有 6 組文字，根據(jù)文章的內(nèi)容選擇 5組文字，將其分別放回文章原來的位置，以恢復(fù)文章原貌。 三、做題前的準(zhǔn)備 ： 1. 了解文章主題：大標(biāo)題、第一段 2. 了解各段主題：各段首句 3. 熟悉選項，劃出線索詞 4. 了解文章中空格的位置及周邊情況 四、答案選項的設(shè)計方式 ： 第 一 篇 Heat Is Killer Extremely hot weather is mon in many parts of the world. Although hot weather just makes most people feel hot, it can cause serious medical problems even death. Floods, storms, volcano eruptions and other natural disasters kill thousands of people every year. 1 Experts say heat may be nature39
