Suppose you were given these three options:(a) to match with their surroundings,(b) to get a mate,or (c) to impress humans.Most people would choose (a).But the real answer is (b).It
9、s not a hard-and-fast rule:there is evidence that the colorful changes of some chameleons can be a disguise.For instance,the small-sized chameleon Bradypodion taeniabronchum seems to match its surroundings more closely when facing an enemy with better color vision.For most chameleons,however,changin
10、g color is all about getting a mate.In their natural environment,most chameleons match with their surroundings pretty well,says ecologist Kristopher Karsten of California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks.So when they change color,they tend to make themselves easier to notice.Competing males will
11、 often battle it out with a color-change fight.The color-change process doesnt work the way you might expect it to either.Most of us would think it is achieved by some kind of pigments (色素).But a study published in March 2015 suggests that the color changes have nothing to do with chemistry at all.I
12、nstead,it turns out there are some nanocrystals (纳米晶体) within the chameleons cells.By changing the positions of these crystals,the chameleon can show different shades of color.Its not just about how chameleons look.They are also unusually good at using their eyes.In a neat study published in July 20
13、15,zoologists showed chameleons two objects that moved around a computer screen.The chameleons were able to split their vision,each eye independently focusing on a different object.Eventually,the chameleons seemed to make a choice,both eyes locking onto the same target.This way they could do a bette

26、文主要介绍了大蒜咖啡发明的契机以及其制作过程,有关它的生产与销售文中只是略有提及,故选C项。【篇章导读】本文是说明文。文章介绍了变色龙变色的原因、方法以及其眼睛的特殊之处。4.B细节理解题。由第二段中的“.there is evidence that the colorful changes of some chameleons.facing an enemy with better color vision”可知,有些变色龙改变身体颜色是为了伪装自己,而Bradypodion taeniabronchum这种变色龙便是其中的一个例子,它碰到色彩视感强的敌人时,会变成与周围环境更接近的颜色,以
27、迷惑敌人。5.A细节理解题。由第三段中的“Competing males will often battle it out with a color-change fight”可知,雄性变色龙决斗的方式是“变色大战”。6.D细节理解题。由第五段中的“By changing the positions of these crystals.different shades of color”可知,变色龙通过改变细胞内纳米晶体的位置来显示不同的颜色,从而达到改变身体颜色的效果。7.D细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“The chameleons were able to split.independen
28、tly focusing on a different object”可知,变色龙的两只眼睛可以同时分别聚焦在不同的物体上面。二、【篇章导读】本文是记叙文。参加夏令营的第一天,作者正为找不到教室苦恼时遇到了同病相怜的Jorden。她们费了一番功夫终于找到了教室,这次“坎坷”的经历也让她们成了朋友。1.GG项解释了上文中的trouble,即作者找不到教室的原因。2.FF项中的which room与本空后面的M15相对应。3.CC项与上文中的“The lady in the blue shirt gave us directions.”形成转折关系,且C项中的them指代directions。4.
29、A由本空前面的question可推断,本空应填一个问句,因此A项和B项符合文本特征;又从下文中作者和Jorden的回答“Kind of”可推断,A项符合语意。5.DD项中的“twenty minutes late for class”与下文中的“get to class late”相照应。三、1.there考查特殊句式。设空处所在句意为“没有冬季奥运会”,故填there。There is no such person / thing as sb/ sth“没有如某人/某物这样的人/物”。2.Players考查名词复数。设空处做主语,表示“运动员”。player是可数名词,且此处表示泛指,应用复
30、数,故填Players。petition考查名词。设空处做表语,表示“比赛”,因为设空处前有不定冠词,故填名词competition。4.from考查介词。此处表示“来自的”,故填from。5.was held考查一般过去时的被动语态。设空处所在句意为“冬季运动很受欢迎,因此,1924年在法国的夏蒙尼举行了国际冬季体育运动周活动”。 International Winter Sports Week与hold之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,由in 1924可知,此处应用一般过去时,故填was held。6.was考查主谓一致。Something做主语,谓语动词用单数,因为此处描述1924年在法国夏蒙尼举行的国际冬季体育运动周活动,应用一般过去时,故填was。7.who考查关系代词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句补充说明female athletes,且在从句中做主语,故填who。8.especially考查副词。设空处做状语,表示“尤其”,故填副词especially。9.to take考查不定式做定语的用法。chance后常跟不定式做定语,表示“的机会”。10.interesting考查形容词做定语的用法。设空处做定语,表示“有趣的”,故填形容词interesting。
