21、eir younger siblings,and despite the occasional rocky moments,many siblings have lifelong close relationships.However,a new study finds the interesting downside: children with older brothers take longer when it comes to developing language skills. The study,conducted by a group of researchers in Par
22、is,France,builds on the earlier research that had already established that having older siblings is associated with poor linguistic (语言的)development.Now,researchers say they have come to a more specific conclusion: only children with older brothers exhibit these linguistic difficulties. One would as
23、sume that children with older brothers would grow up around more conversation on a daily basis,thus speeding up their language development.Yet researchers say such children actually take longer than their older brothers to begin developing these skills. Researchers studied more than 1,000 children f
24、rom their birth to the age of five and a half years old.Each childs language skills were tested at ages 2,3,and 5.5,using tests specially designed to measure numerous aspects of language development such as vocabulary,syntax(句法),and verbal reasoning. What the research team discovered was significant
25、: children with older brothers had,on average,a twomonth delay in their language development compared to children with older sisters. When explaining this phenomenon,researchers have proposed two hypotheses(假设)The first hypothesis is that older sisters tend to talk more often than older brothers,whi

32、eir parents compared to older brothers.解析:推理判断题。根据第六段第三句“The second is that older sisters usually compete with their siblings less than older brothers for their parents love.”可知,对于有哥哥的孩子语言能力发展比有姐姐的慢这个现象的原因,研究人员提出的第二个假设是,为了得到父母的爱,姐姐们通常比哥哥们更少地与弟弟妹妹竞争。由此可推知,哥哥们渴望得到更多的关注。故选A。答案:A11Which one is the best

In the 1950s,an epileptic(癫痫患者)named Henry Gustav Molaison(H.M.)underwent the removal of portions of his brain.After the operation,
37、doctors found that although HM.s condition got much better,he was unable to form new memories.Many of his memories before the operation were also erased. To learn more about his condition,neuropsychologists carried out various tests with HM.In one,they asked him to draw a fivepointed star on a sheet
38、 of paper while only looking at it and his hand in a mirror,which means the image was reversed(颠倒的)Although HM.s handeye coordination skills improved over the several days,he never remembered performing it. Is procedural knowledge then fundamentally more stable than explicit knowledge?As it turns ou
39、t,the former is more resistant to both loss and trauma(创伤)Even with traumatic brain injury the procedural memory system is hardly ever compromised.Thats probably because the structures responsible for processing nondeclarative memory are protected in the brains center.However,its not clear,beyond br

99、ughter of black writers”可知,Amanda是一个黑人,故选A。答案:AC Many people struggle to keep their weight in check as they get older.Now new research at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden has uncovered why that is:Lipid turnover(脂质周转)in the fat tissue decreases during ageing and makes it easier to gain weight,even if
100、 we dont eat more. The scientists studied the fat cells in 54 men and women over an average period of 13 years. In that time,all subjects,regardless of whether they gained or lost weight,showed decreases in lipid turnover in the fat tissue.Those who didnt compensate for that by eating fewer calories
101、 gained weight by an average of 20%. The researchers also examined lipid turnover in 41 women who had bariatric surgery(减肥手术)and how the lipid turnover rate affected their ability to keep the weight off four to seven years after surgery.The result showed that only those who had a low rate before the
102、 surgery managed to increase their lipid turnover and maintain their weight loss.The researchers believe these people may have had more room to increase their lipid turnover than those who already had a highlevel presurgery. “The results indicate for the first time that processes in our fat tissue r

109、通过研究找到了人的体重会随着年龄的增长而增加的原因。由此可知答案。答案:DD Leopard seals resemble leopards in two ways.They have polkadot furs.And they are powerful,generally solitary(喜欢独处的)animals that eat meat and are quite capable of killing a human being if they so choose,as has indeed happened once in 2003,when a British marine b
110、iologist was the victim.Curiously,though,there have also been reports of leopard seals behaving in a friendly manner towards peopleapparently trying to present gifts,in the form of prey(捕获物),to divers. Until now,there has been no explanation for this action.But work just published in Polar Biology b
111、y James Robbins of Plymouth University,in Britain,suggests that what the seals are actually looking for is a dining partner. Mr.Robbins and his team were studying leopard seals in the waters around South Georgia,an island in the Southern Ocean 1,500 km from the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula.Instead
112、 of diving or watching from ships,they employed unmanned aircraft to carry out their observation,which recorded unobserved behavior on the part of the animals. First,the leopard seals came together in groups to attack king penguins that were entering the sea from a rookery(群栖地)on the island. Second,
113、when a leopard seal did catch a penguin in these circumstances, it would sometimes offer to share it with a neighbour in a way reminding us of divers tales of gift giving.What looked like an abnormal phenomenon might just be a normal way of behaving.But why? The video shows that the seals in such pa
114、rtnership take it in turns to feed.One holds the bird tight in its jaws while the other tears off a chunk of flesh and swallows it.Then they swap roles.By contrast,for a lone seal to reduce a penguin to bitesized chunks means whipping(搅打)the prey around in its jaws with as much force as it can gathe
115、r in order to tear chunks of flesh free from the dead body.This commonly happens,but it is thought to be extremely tiring.It is better,therefore,to find a partner and enjoy a meal together.语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。动物常常会做出一些让人难以理解的行为,但其实如果站在它们的角度,这些行为往往就不难理解了。正如豹海豹虽然看似有意将猎物送给潜水员。但它其实不过是想让潜水员帮助它吃掉猎物。12What do leo

119、our.解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,一只豹海豹与另一只豹海豹分享一只企鹅时,会采取协作的方式轮流进食。相比而言,一只豹海豹想要独自从一只企鹅尸体上扯下一块肉吃就显得极其费劲。由此可知,豹海豹之所以愿意与伙伴共享一只企鹅是为了让进食变得更加容易。答案:B.阅读七选五 短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Find a few trusted lists.The publishing industry puts out more than 50,000 books a year. _1_ Nobody does.However,we should ge
