40、nct”一句可得出正确答案。渡渡鸟、巴厘虎、爪哇虎和里海虎是灭绝的动物，故选A。2.细节理解题。文章的第三段Rhinos部分“The Rhino horn is a highly prized item for Asian medicine.”和最后一段提到“The South China tiger is precariously close to disappearing, with only 20 to 30 still alive. Like the Rhino horn, tigers bones and organs are sought after for traditional
41、 Chinese medicines.”可知，犀牛角和虎骨及器官被认为有很高的药用价值。故选D。3.细节理解题。从第四段The Giant Panda中的“The future of the World Wildlife Funds symbol is far from certain.”一句可得知世界野生动物基金的图案标记是大熊猫，而不是鲸，故B项是错误的。4.推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段第一句“Many animal and plant species have become extinct and many more are in critical danger.”可知，下文是介绍
42、灭绝物种和濒危动物。再根据全文内容可知文章主要是讲述这些野生动物灭绝或处于危险中的原因。故选C。B【答案】5-8 DCBC【解析】本文为记叙文。本文主要说明了作者喜爱音乐的原因，并介绍了音乐在人们交流和抒发情感方面的作用。5.推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，作者非常喜欢音乐，认为没有它简直活不下去，另一个原因是通过音乐可以和其他人交流，在音乐的帮助下分享我们所拥有的。接着下文对此进行了较详细的说明。由此可推断出本文主要介绍了作者喜欢音乐的原因。故选D。6.词义猜测题。根据画线词前文“the use of music as a communication tool has been kept b
43、y human beings for thousands of years.”可知，音乐作为一种交流工具已经被人类使用了数千年。再根据划线的词语所在的句子可知，此处是说，这（音乐）可以追溯到人类最初的时代，也可以追溯到世界的开端。由此可得知，下文是对音乐的发展过程的介绍。从而可判断出划线词this指的是音乐。所以C正确。7.推理判断题。作者在举例前的一句“I told him that this can date back to the original time, and to the very beginning of the world. At the very beginning of
44、 human beings, our forerunners already had a special hobby of music.”讲述，音乐历史悠久，这可以追溯到人类最初的时代，也可以追溯到世界的开端。接着用亚当和和夏娃的例子旨在表明音乐有悠久的历史。故B项正确。8.细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“some people call it the process of looking for the purpose of life, but I consider it to find my own spirit rather than the purpose of life.”（有些人称
45、音乐是寻找生命意义的过程，但我把它看做是探寻自我心灵而不是找寻生命意义的过程。由此可推断出作者不同意C项观点。故选C。五、七选五【答案】1-5 DGFAB【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了音乐的一些好处，包括听音乐会使人更有创造力、有助于降低手术前、手术中或手术后的焦虑和疼痛水平、让人更能坚持锻炼以及辅助睡眠等等。1.空格后文：他们会想出更有创意的解决方案。这可能是因为音乐提高了大脑的灵活性。另一个原因可能是它能让你足够放松，让你的创造性思维得以流动。由此可知，本句是在说明当人们听着快乐的音乐时，他们会更有创造力。故D选项（当人们听着快乐的音乐，而不是静静地坐着）符合上下文语境，故选D。2
46、.空格后文：手术后，它有助于减轻疼痛。一项对73项研究的分析证实，在手术前、手术中或手术后听音乐可以降低焦虑和疼痛水平，从而减少止痛药的使用。由此可知，本句是在说明手术前听音乐可以缓解焦虑。故G选项（手术前听音乐已被证明可以缓解焦虑。）符合上下文语境，故选G。3.空格后文：研究发现，当你跑步、骑自行车或走路时，听音乐能让你走得更远。音乐可以缓解你的不适，激励你坚持下去。由此可知，运动时听音乐更能让人坚持下去，走得更远，打消放弃的念头。故F选项（音乐能让你打消放弃锻炼的念头）符合上下文语境，故选F。4.空格上文：音乐有助于睡眠。睡前听音乐可以帮助你更快入睡，减少夜间醒来的次数。由此可知，音乐有助于睡眠质量的提高，那么结果就是人们早上醒来会感到更放松。故A选项（在这种情况下，你会在早上感到更放松）符合上下文语境，故选A。5.空格上文：科学家们已经反复证明，当有音乐响起时，人们会觉得等待的时间变短了。商家利用这一点，在商场播放音乐，从而让你待得更久，花得更多。再根据空格后半句“后文grocery sales increase by 38 percent.”可知，在酒吧和餐厅播放的音乐如果是舒缓的，那么人们会停留更久，消费得更多，从而导致杂货店的销售额会增加38%。故B选项符合上下文语境。
