39、答案语篇解读本文为说明文。人们普遍把蜂鸟和蜜蜂混在一起考虑,一组研究人员欣然接受了这种做法并对蜂鸟和蜜蜂进行了研究。1.B细节理解题。本题题干意为:在20世纪70年代对蜂鸟和蜜蜂的研究中心是什么?根据题干中的“inthe1970s”可知答案区间在第二段。由其中的“Researchersatthetimefocusedonmovementrules,liketheorderinwhichtheyvisitedflowers.”(那时的研究人员关注它们的运动规律,如:它们采花粉的顺序)可知答案为B项。A项(记忆力),C项(计算奖励),D项(信息处理)在第二段中均未提及,故排除。2.D细节理解题。本
40、题题干意为:在研究蜂鸟的学习能力时(研究人员)使用了哪个学科的研究方法?根据文章第三段中的“Hummingbirdresearcherscomparedhummingbirdstootherbirdsandborrowedmethodsfrompsychologytostudytheirabilitytolearninthelab.(蜂鸟研究人员在实验室把蜂鸟与其他鸟类进行对比并引用了心理学的方法研究了它们的学习能力。)”可知答案为D项(心理学)。3.B细节理解题。本题题干意为:研究人员是如何发现蜂鸟和其他鸟类不同的?根据最后一段中的“Likeotherbirds,theyrelyonland
41、marks,distancesanddirectionstomakemapswhentravellinglongdistances,buttheydontusethesecuestofindflowers.Moveaflowerjustaninchorsoawayfromwhereahummingbirdthoughtitwasanditwillhoverovertheflowersoriginallocation.(在长途飞行时,蜂鸟像其他鸟类那样,靠地标、距离和方向来绘制地图,但它们不用这些线索寻找花朵。把一朵花从蜂鸟认为其所在的位置挪动大约一英寸,蜂鸟还会在花朵原来的位置上方盘旋。)可知
42、答案为B项(通过移动花朵)。A:通过释放它们;C:通过视图匹配;D:通过绘制地图。4.D主旨大意题。由全文大意并结合第一段中的“Nowagroupofresearchersevensayweshouldembraceourhistoryofconsideringthetwotogetherinthesamegroup.Thewayscientistsstudybeescouldhelpthemstudyhummingbirdbehavior,too.(现在一组研究人员甚至说我们应该欣然接受把这两种动物放在同一个组里考虑的历史。科学家研究蜜蜂的方法也可帮助他们研究蜂鸟的行为。)”可确定本题答案为
43、D项(把蜂鸟看作蜜蜂)。高级语块buzzv.(蜜蜂等)发出嗡嗡声embracev.欣然接受;乐意采纳(思想、建议等)长难句Scientistsfirstcomparedthetwobackinthe1970swhenstudyinghowanimalssearchedforfood.早在20世纪70年代当科学家们研究动物如何觅食时,第一次将这两种动物进行了比较。本句为主从复合句,其中when引导的是省略了主语和谓语的时间状语从句。Passage5AEuropeanUnionprogramislettingblindpeopleexperiencefamouspaintingsforthefir

70、章第三段中的“theirhumancaretakers”可知这些鸟是有主人的,结合最后一段与之呼应的“Onelimitationofthestudyisthatnomacawsinthenaturalenvironmenthavebeenobserved.”(这项研究的局限性在于没有观察生活在自然环境中的金刚鹦鹉的情况。)可推知“captive”意为“被关在笼子里的”,故选D项。2.B细节理解题。本题题干意为:什么时候/为什么鸟儿脸红?根据文章第四段第二句“Likewise,birdblushingcouldconveywell-being.”(同样地,鸟儿脸红可能表示它们很幸福。)可知B项(
71、为了表达它们很高兴)为正确答案。根据第三段最后一句(当照看人不注意它们时,它们脸上的红色便会消失。)可排除A项。C、D两项在文中没被提及。3.B推理判断题。本题题干意为:对于金刚鹦鹉脸红这一现象科学家做出的反应,哪项是对的?根据文章第三、四段内容判断,金刚鹦鹉会脸红这个现象引发了AlineBertin所带领科研团队的关注和研究,他们进而发现金刚鹦鹉的脸红可能和我们人类一样,是种情感表达。综合考虑,科学家会继续研究金刚鹦鹉怎样表达情感。故本题答案为B项。4.D主旨大意题。本题题干意为:本文的主题是什么?纵观全文,作者主要介绍了金刚鹦鹉和人类一样会脸红,以及AlineBertin带领的科学家们对这
72、一现象的研究,所以选D项,此处“goredintheface”就是对本文关键词“blush”的解释。Passage8Its3oclockandyouvebeenhardatwork.Asyousitatyourdesk,astrongdesireforchocolateovercomesyou.Youtrytobusyyourselftomakeitgoaway.Butitdoesnt.Hereisanothersituation.Perhapsyouarenotfeelingwell.Theonlythingyouwanttoeatisabigbowlofchickensoup,likeon
