A Revolution in Food AnimalsDFrom linguists point of view, grammar is a set of patterns for how words are put together to form phrases or clauses, whether in spoken or written. Different languages have different patterns. Some scholars
26、have tried to identify patterns common to all languages. But apart from some basic features, few of these so-called linguistic universals have been found.The study of these patterns open up “an ongoing debate” between two positions, known as prescriptivism and descriptivism. Prescriptivism thinks a
27、given language should follow consistent rules, while descriptivism sees variation and adaptation as a natural and necessary part of language. Language purists(纯化论者) worked to establish and promote this standard by detailing a set of rules that reflected the established grammar of their times. And ru
28、les for written grammar were applied to spoken language as well. Speech patterns that deviated from the written rules were considered signs of low social status. And many people who are grown-ups speaking in these ways were forced to adopt the standardized form.More recently, however, linguists have
29、 understood that speech is a separate phenomenon from writing with its own regularities and patterns.We form our spoken skills through unconscious habits, not memorized rules. And because speech also uses mood and intonation for meaning, its structure is often more flexible, adapting to the needs of
30、 speakers and listeners. This could mean avoiding complex clauses that are hard to understand in real time, making changes to avoid awkward pronunciation or removing sounds to make speech faster.But while the debate between prescriptivism and descriptivism continues, the two are not mutually exclusi
31、ve. Like language itself, its a wonderful and complex fabric woven through the contributions of speakers and listeners, writers and readers, prescriptivists and descriptivists from both near and far.12.

55、y dad still had not received a new liver; he was progressively getting worse. His body seemed to be getting weaker, but he constantly said he was fine. It was getting hard for my family and me.

59、to build careers.”可知Irving认为最重要的是首先要有梦想，也就是首先你要有自己迫切想要完成的具体事情。故C项正确。【5题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段第三句“I told him I didnt think I was smart enough;”可知Irving告诉对方自己可能不够聪明，说明他怀疑自己的能力。故B项正确。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“Then another dream took hold: flying alone around the world.”可知在学会飞行以后，他又了另外一个梦想：独自飞越全球。故D项正确。【7题详解】推理判断题。根
60、据第四段二三句“It was seeing so many young people watching and listening that pushed me into giving back with my knowledge and experience.” Irving has been doing it ever since. He set up his non-profit-making organization, Experience Aviation (航空), aiming to increase the numbers of youth in aviation and sc
61、ience-related careers.”可知促使他建立这个公益组织的是他看到了很多年轻人都在期待他完成目标，他要把自己的知识和经验教给更多的年轻人。他这样做有很大的好处。故C项正确。C【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章论述了我们原来当作食物的动物实际上也有情感有思想，它们有一定的分析推理能力。人类不应只将它们当作食物。【8题详解】推理判断题。由第二段中的“When given problems to solve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored buttons choose some times to give up an immediate
62、 food reward for a slightly later (and better) one”可知，当解决问题时，母鸡们会推理：例如，受过挑选彩色纽扣的训练的母鸡们有时会选择放弃即时的食物奖励，换取稍晚一些(而且更好)的食物奖励。由此可知，母鸡们具备分析能力。故B选项正确。【9题详解】推理判断题。由第三段中的“Pigs respond meaningful to human symbols. When a research team led by Candace Croney at Penn State University carried wooden blocks marked w
63、ith X and O symbols around pigs, only the O carriers offered food to the animals. The pigs soon ignored the X carriers in favor of the Os. Then the team switched from real-life objects to T-shirts printed with X or O symbols. Still, the pigs walked only toward the O-shirted people: they had transfer
64、red their knowledge to a two-dimensional format, a not inconsiderable feat of reasoning.”可知，一些研究者拿着带X标记的木板，一些研究者拿着带O标记的木板，只有拿带O标记木板的研究者给猪提供食物，猪很快就只理会这些研究者了。当木板换成带X和O标记的衬衫时，猪仍然只走向那些穿带O标记衬衫的研究者。这表明猪将把知识转移到了二维的形式，这是一种相当大的推理壮举。结合选项，D选项正确。【10题详解】段落大意题。由第四段中的“At the start of my career almost four decades
65、ago, I was firmly convinced that monkeys and apes out-think and out-feel other animals.Fairly soon, I came to see that along with our closest living relatives, whales too are masters of cultural learning, and elephants express profound joy and mourning with their social companions. Long-term studies
66、helped to fuel a viewpoint shift in our society: the public no longer so easily accepts monkeys made to undergo painful procedure kin laboratories, elephants forced to perform in circuses, and dolphins kept in small tanks at theme parks.”可知，数十年前，作者坚信猴子和猩猩在思考能力和情感上都胜过其他的动物。很快，作者就意识到除了猴子和猩猩，鲸鱼也是文化学习的主
67、人，大象也表现出高兴等情感。长期的研究也促进着我们社会观点的转变：我们不再认为猴子只能是实验室里的实验对象，大象只能在马戏团里进行表演，海豚只能被养在主题公园狭小的池子里。很明显，本段介绍的是人们对动物看法的转变。故C选项正确。【11题详解】标题归纳题。第一段提出：科学开始拥抱原来被我们认为是二等公民的动物们（即：我们对某些动物的看法正在发生变化）。第二和第三段以母鸡和猪为例告诉读者：通过科学研究，母鸡和猪也具备情感，也具备分析推理能力。第四段介绍了人们对动物看法的转变。第五和第六段呼吁读者：动物有自己的情感和思想，我们不要只将动物当成我们的食物。结合每段大意可知，该文主要是围绕动物也有情感有
