8、rican evening and Shirley Strum was writing down observations as she watched the behaviour of one of her favourite baboons (狒狒),Naomi.Suddenly,Shirley felt small hands softly touching her back.Surprised and puzzled,she slowly turned her head and saw it was Robin,Naomis two-year-old offspring (后代).Ms
9、 Strum was thrilled,for she knew that such comforting gestures were the baboons way of establishing and keeping their relationships with one another.It seemed that the group of baboons had come to accept and trust her.The group of monkeys in Kenya was known as the “Pumphouse Gang”.Of course,it was n
10、ot really a gang,but one of nine troops of baboons totaling about eight hundred animals.They live around Lake Elmenteita,famous for its flamingos and pelicans.This particular group had been given its name because it was often seen near a water-pumping station.Probably the most significant conclusion
11、 she reached from her research was that the stable core of baboon troops isnt the powerful adult males,as had been originally thought,but is the family groups of mothers and their off spring.Strum discovered that adult males move from group to group,changing their friendships frequently,but the fema
12、les relationships remain unchanging.Baboons,the largest monkeys on the African continent,are also the most adaptable.This adaptability is particularly noticeable in their diet.The “Pumphouse Gang” had a very diverse diet,which enabled them to survive bad times when other wildlife in the area died.Ba
13、boons eat grass.But since they have to compete with other animals for this food,they add seeds,roots and flowers in their diet.They also enjoy insects and are not averse to a good piece of meat now and then.Strum says she did not have a single boring moment during her sixteen months studying the bab
14、oons.She believes that many old views about these monkeys need to be changed.By continuing our observations of nonhuman monkey behaviour,Strum thinks we can gain a better understanding of ourselves,of what we share with other monkeys,and of what is uniquely ours.【语篇解读】本文详细介绍了Shirley Strum对狒狒的最新研究成果,
15、修正了某些以前对狒狒的错误认识。1.What indicated that Shirley Strum was acknowledged by the baboons?A.She could get close to observe their behaviour freely.B.Robin put the small hands gently on her back from behind.C.Naomi and Robin frequently played games with her at night.D.Naomi helped her to write down observat
16、ions with performance.答案B解析细节理解题。根据第一段可知,有天晚上,Shirley Strum在记录Naomi的行为,Robin轻轻地把双手从后面放到她的背上,这对狒狒来说是一种建立和保持友好关系的举止。所以Shirley认为,她似乎得到了狒狒们的认可。2.Why was the group of monkeys in Kenya named “Pumphouse Gang”?A.Because they fed on flamingos and pelicans.B.Because they lived near a water-pumping station.C.B
17、ecause they consisted of nine troops of baboons.D.Because they were made up of eight hundred animals.答案B解析细节理解题。根据第二段的最后一句可知答案。3.What does Shirley Strum approve of?A.The offspring of baboons know their mother but not their father.B.The core of a group of baboons tends to be the strongest adult male.
18、C.Baboons have to eat other dead animals to live through difficult times.D.Baboons are the largest and strongest animals on the African continent.答案A解析推理判断题。根据第三段的最后一句可知,雄性的成年狒狒常常从一群去到另外一群,更换伴侣,而雌性的却保持与后代的稳定关系,这就相当于人类的走婚。可见其后代只认识母亲而不认识父亲。4.Whats the probable meaning of the underlined word “averse” i
19、n Paragraph 4?A.Devoted.B.Accustomed.C.Addicted.D.Opposed.答案D解析词义猜测题。本段谈到为了度过困难时期,狒狒的饮食是多样化的。根据本段中的“Baboons eat grass.”可知,它们是食草动物,本段列举了很多草类食物。最后一句中的also表明,除了这些草类食物之外,为了活命,狒狒们也不排斥偶尔吃点肉类。也就是说狒狒并不是对肉类食物视而不见。.七选五The sun was shining on the white sand of Dadonghai Bay when Stanley,an endangered sea turtle

25、of them on the islands beaches答案与解析【语篇解读】文章介绍了人们的环保意识开始增强,并对濒临灭绝的海龟展开了保护。1.D根据下文的“It hatched prematurely.”可知,它很难像其他的小海龟一样爬进海里,所以选D项。2.A根据下文的“theyre very active and scrabbling across the beach really fast”可知,此处指的是小海龟刚孵出来的时候,所以选A项。3.B根据下文的“Within a week of being found,it was delivered to the sea turtle hospital.”可知,它与其他的海龟不同,所以选B项。4.F根据下文的“The labs are located in a village on the coast”可知,F项可起到引出下文的作用。5.G根据上文的“Its a rare opportunity.”可知,G项可与上文构成因果关系。
