It seems obvious that evolution should select for larger brains. Mammals(哺乳动物)weighing sixty kilograms h
61、ave an average brain size of 200 cm2. Modern man has a brain averaging 1200-1400 cm2. We are so fond of our high intelligence that we assume that when it comes to brain power, more must be better. Unfortunately, that is not the case.The fact is that a huge brain is a huge drainconsumption of energyo
62、n the body. Is not easy to carry around, especially when boxed inside a massive skull(倾骨). Its even harder to provides energy. In modern man, the brain accounts for about 2-3%of total body weight but it consumes 25% of the bodys energy when the body is at rest. By comparison, the brains of apes(类人猿)
63、require only 8%of rest-time energy. Early humans pad for their large brains in two ways. Firstly, they spent more time in search food. Secondly, their muscles grew smaller and weaker. Its hardly an obvious conclusion that this is a good way to survive. A chimpanzee(黑猩猩) cant win an argument with a m
64、odern man, but it can tear the man apart like a rag doll.Another unique human characteristic is that we walk upright. Standing up, its easier to find food or enemies. In addition, their arms that are unnecessary for moving around are freed for other purposes, like throwing stones or signaling. As a
65、result, humans can perform very complex tasks with their hands.Yet walking upright has its disadvantage. The bone structure of our ancestors developed for millions of years to support a creature that walked on all fours and has a relatively small head. Adjusting to an upright position was quite a ch
66、allenge, especially when the bones had to support an extra-large skull. Humankind paid for its broad vision and skillful hands backaches and painful necks.We assume that a large brain makes huge advantages. It seems obvious that these have made humankind the most powerful animal on earth. But humans
67、 enjoyed all of these advantages for a full 2 million years during which they remained weak and marginal creature. Thus humans who lived a million years ago despite their big brains and sharp stone tools, lived in constant fear of meat-eating animals.The Cost of ThinkingIntroduction Large brains for
68、 their bodies and the ability to walk upright are two _71_ of human beings.The _72_ of large human brains The larger brains may not be better because of the cost. The big brains make it harder for the body to move around and consume more energy. The animal brain requires less _73_ when the body is a

Weak and marginal, human beings remained _80_ of meat-eating animals.【语篇解读】本文为记叙文。主要叙述人用大脑思考的代价。人类与动物相比有两大特点:大大的大脑和直立行走。超大的大脑使人类拥有更高的智商,但却消耗巨大的能量。直立行走让人类擅长寻找食物
71、和抵御敌人,解放了的双手来更复杂的事。但却让人类遭受腰痛和颈部疼痛等。人类成为地球上最强大的动物,享受无与伦比的优势,却对食肉动物怀有恐惧。71. characteristics 【解析】考查信息归纳。根据第一段“all human beings share defining characteristics ,such as large brains and the ability to walk upright on two legs.”可知,大脑袋和双腿直立行走的能力是人类共有的特点(characteristics)。故填characteristics。72. disadvantages
72、【解析】考查信息归纳。72题就是对第三段内容的总结。第三段主要叙述了人类的大脑大的缺点。因此本空格填写disadvantages。73. energy 【解析】考查信息来源。根据第三段中的“a huge brain is a huge drain-consumption of energy ”以及“It (the brain) consumes 25% of the bodys energy when the body is at rest.By comparison the brains of apes require only 8% of rest- time energy”可知,人类巨大
73、的大脑是一个巨大的能量消耗。 当身体处于休息时,大脑要消耗25%的身体能量。相比之下,类人猿的大脑只需要8%的休息时间能量。人类与动物相比,动物需要的能量(energy)要比人类少。故填energy。74. impact(s) 【解析】考查信息归纳题。分析空后的75-78小题所在的第五段和第六段的内容可知,此部分主要叙述了直立行走对人类的影响。故填impact(s)。75. guard【解析】考查信息转换。根据第五段的第一句“Another unique human characteristic is that we walk upright. Standing up, its easier
74、to find food or enemies.”可知,另一个独特的人类特征是我们直立行走。站起来,更容易找到食物或敌人。找到敌人,就是为了防御敌人。因为or为连词,在此句中连结两个动词短语,故空格填动词。“guard against.”为固定搭配,意为“防御.”,故本空填写guard。76. other考查信息来源。根据第五段中的”.their arms that are unnecessary for moving around are freed for other purposes ,like throwing stones or signaling. As a result, hum
75、ans can perform very complex tasks with their hands. ”可知,解放了的双手可以用于做其它的事,即有其它的目的。故填other。77. limits【解析】考查信息归纳。根据第五段“walking upright has disadvantages. The bone structure of our ancestors developed for millions of years to support a creature that walked on four and a relative small head. Adjusting to
76、 an upright position was quite a challenge , especially when the bones had to support an extra -large skull.” 可知,直立行走也有缺点。我们祖先进化了上百亿年,骼也只能支撑四肢行走和有一个相对较小的头。直立行走对人类的骨架是一个相当大的挑战,限制了人的头脑的大小。故本空填limits。78. physical【解析】考查信息转换。根据第六段“., Humankind paid for its vision and skillful hands with backaches and pai
77、nful necks.” 可知,直立对人类的骨架是一个相当大的挑战,人类为自己的视力和灵巧的双手付出了代价,换来的是腰酸背痛和脖子疼痛。由此得出,直立导致身体方面的(physical)痛苦,故填physical。79. beat【解析】根据最后一段“We assume that a large brain makes huge advantages. It seems obvious that these have made humankind the most powerful animal on earth.”可知,我们假设大脑越大,优势越大。很明显,这些使得人类成为地球上最强大的动物。由
78、此可推断出我们的大脑比动物大,在智力方面人类比动物更聪明,即在智力方面击败了(beat)其他动物。故本空填beat。80. fearful/afraid【解析】根据最后一段“.humans enjoyed all of these advantages for a full 2 million years during which they weak and marginal creatures. Thus humans who lived a million years ago, despite their big brains and sharp stone tools, lived in
79、 constant fear of meat-eating animals.”可知,尽管人类享受着所有这些优势,但也是弱小的生物。因此尽管拥有巨大的大脑和锋利的石器,但也曾经对食肉动物仍旧害怕/恐惧。因为空前是系动词,故本空要填形容词(afraid/fearful)可知,此处要填名词,故填fearful/afraid。二、2018年高考真题1.【2018全国卷I】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Color is fundamental in home design something youll always have in every roo

226、会文章的主旨大意,快速理解句段细节意义和理清上下文的逻辑关系,要能够理解文章作者的观点、态度和意图,同时不能忽视对语篇的整体把握和领悟。考查题型分为以下三类:1. 信息筛选题:信息筛选题是基础题目,一般可以直接通过将表格和短文进行对照,边读文章边找出与试题相关的句子信息,获取到相关单词,有时试题和原文句型句式不同,需进行简单的逻辑推理然后找到相应单词,不需变化,直接填入。例如第74、79题。2. 整合转换题:整合转换题是典型的二次加工题型,需要考生有基本的构词法知识,对句子成分和词性的对应关系要明确。做题时不仅需要找到与试题相关的语句,还要根据词法和句法知识以及上下文的逻辑关系进行加工,从而提
227、炼出新词。可细分为如下两种情况:(1)词形整合转换。被考查单词在原文和试题中充当的句子成分不同,因而需要在名词、动词、形容词、副词等之间进行转换。例如第76、78题。(2)句型整合转换。试题中的被考查单词在原文中找不到同根词,无法获取单词进行转换,需根据原文中相应句子的意义和上下文逻辑联系进行句型转换。例如第71、72、73题。表格内词性、大小写和语法运用上要保持一致。同一单元格要注意在用词方面保持一致的格式。善用同义词和反义词进行转换。正确使用构词法。熟练运用语法句型转换。3. 综合概括题:综合概括题要求考生对全文或段落进行总体语篇把握,通过观察表格的设置特点,从而归纳和概括出所考查的单词。此类设题一般位于表格的第一行或第一列。为了更快捷地掌握概括能力,总结和熟记一些概括性词汇及其固定搭配也是很有必要的。例如75题。基本的概括性词汇有:总结、概括:conclusion, summary建议:suggestion, tip, advice, proposal, recommendation影响:effect, influence, impact 印象:impression因果:reason, cause, result, consequence
