15、 they had once been calculated in gold.The importance of silk is even reflected in the Chinese language.For example, of the 5000 most common Chinese characters, around 500 have silk as their “key”In spite of their secrecy, the Chinese eventually lost their monopoly on silk production.It reached Kore

23、文在讲述了什么是数字感之后，重点介绍了有关动物也具有数字感的实验，实验结果表明许多动物和人一样具有数字感，且人的这种感知数字变化的能力并不比乌鸦的能力强多少。1C由下文的两个实验来看，都是数目的“变化”。其他三个选项“上升”“样式”“趋势”与文中内容几乎毫无关系。2B因“实验表明许多动物也跟人类一样具有这种能力”，这是“令人惊讶的”。其他选项“重要地”“失望地”“幸运地”与上下文内容不符。3D结合下句，特别是however可知，上下句的大意是“如果鸟巢内有四个蛋，你移走一个蛋，这只鸟不会注意到；然而，如果你移走两个蛋，这只鸟就会离开这里了”。其他选项“幸存”“关心”“孵化”不合语境。4A这句话
24、讲鸟类在不见了两个蛋时会离开。从整段文字看，都讲鸟类有数字变化的感觉，在数字变化达到2时它们就会发现，自然就会做出反应，故此题应选generally(一般)。5C这个例子谈到，四个蛋中移走一个余下三个，这只鸟不会注意到；若移走两个，余下两个了，这只鸟就会离开。这说明这只鸟知道余下两个与余下三个的“差别”。其余选项“距离”“范围”“间隔”与语境不符。6A与上文中“good number sense”(良好的数字感)中的“good”相对应，也与第2题的答案surprising相对应，故选amazing(令人惊异的)，属于同义复现。其他选项“讨厌的”“令人满意的”“烦扰的”不合语境。7D同词复现。由
25、下文中“return to the nest”可知选D。8C由下文可知，这个人有了一个“主意”或想了一个“办法”。 其他选项“约会”“借口”“解释”均不合语境。9A由“but”可知，他们没能“欺骗”到那只乌鸦。由下文“fool the crow”也可知选A。10B该实验由一个人去接近那只乌鸦，然后带一个人即一共两个人去做这个实验，接着三个人、四个人去“重复”做这个实验。其他选项“报告”“设计”“证明”均与语境不符。11B那只乌鸦直到所有人都“不见了，消失了”才会回来。故选B。12D前面已分别由一个人、两个人、三个人、四个人重复做了四次实验，直到五个人进了塔，只走四个，即还有一个在塔里，他们才“
26、最终”欺骗到了这只乌鸦。13B由下文“But when the number goes beyond three or four”可知，此处是指三四个以内的这样一“小”组东西。14D由“but”可知，后文是表示与always notice相对的意思，当数目超过三四个以后，就“常常”能欺骗这些婴儿了。其他选项“很少”“暂时地”“只是”与语境不符。15C由文章的首段或首句可知，本文在讲到人具有数字感的同时，重点是讲动物的数字感，即有辨别数字变化的“能力”。二、本文是一篇记叙文，通过Nick叫儿子去买盐要给合理价格的故事说明，一定要公平对待他人，尊重他人工作的汗水和努力。1found在主格人称代词h
27、e后应为谓语动词，由语境可知用一般过去时。2nor与前面的neither构成固定搭配neither.nor。3whywhy not do sth.是固定句式。4reasonable在名词前作定语要用形容词。5who引导非限制性定语从句，并在从句中作主语，先行词是人，故填who。6at因名词a low price在句中不作主语、动词的宾语，而为介词的宾语；根据习惯搭配，用介词at。7for固定搭配。show respect for表示“对表示尊重”。8possibly修饰谓语动词作状语，用副词。9aa small amount of (少量的)是固定搭配。10thinking因everyone与think是主动关系，故用现在分词短语作added的伴随状语。三、本文讲述的是关于丝绸及丝绸之路的历史。1D细节理解题。由文章第一段最后两句可知D项正确。2D细节理解题。由文章第二段可知D项所述关于丝绸的作用没有被提及，故选D。3B细节理解题。由文章第三段可知丝织品由中国最先传到韩国，然后再传到印度，最后才传到欧洲。故选B。4C词义猜测题。由文章首段可知，丝绸被禁止外传，而“smuggled out”所在句子的前面说到丝绸被传到欧洲，故可知丝绸是游客通过“非法运输”的手段传到欧洲的。5A细节理解题。由文章最后一段尤其是最后一句可知A项正确。
