68、hers.B. People are bad and cannot be trusted.C. People tend to bully those who are weaker.D. People sometimes care little about how others feel.【答案】39. D 40. B 41. A 42. D【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者因为从出生就超出常人的身高,而有了和别人不一样的成长经历,这种身高也一直影响着作者。【39题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“My entire life has been influenced by the fact
69、that I stand way above the average height for both men and women. When I finally entered the world I weighed 11 pounds 10 ounces and was 24 inches long. When my mom told my grandmother my measurements, she asked in amazement, Are you okay?! (我的一生都受到这样一个事实的影响,即我的身高远远高于男性和女性的平均身高。我出生晚了两周。当我最终进入这个世界时,我
70、重11磅10盎司,长24英寸。当我妈妈告诉我奶奶我的尺寸时,她惊讶地问:“你还好吗?!”) ”可知,作者一直都是高于常人。出生时奶奶知道自己的身高体重时,非常惊讶,可推知作者从出生时身高和体重都超出其他婴儿,所以当时奶奶才会担心地询问妈妈生下这样一个“大”孩子后,身体是否还好,故选D 。【40题详解】词句猜测题。根据第三段中“In high school I got more involved in sports, but I spent most days in the art room. By this time everyone at my school was used to my h
71、eight (by ninth grade I was 6-foot-3), but if I went out of town people would stare at me and comment about my appearance. (高中时我更多地参与体育运动,但我大部分时间都在美术室里度过。这时,学校里的每个人都习惯了我的身高(到九年级时,我有6英尺3英寸),但如果我到了外地,人们会盯着我,评论我的外貌)”可知,当地人习惯了作者超出常人的身高,当是当作者到了别的地方,无论去哪里,都会因为自己的身高被别人盯着看,被别人议论,也就是会成为大家关注的焦点,所以划线句子 “I was
72、forced into the spotlight wherever I went.”意思就是尽管作者不想,但还是会因为身高,引起公众注意,故选B。【41题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中“I played basketball, but my true passion was track and field. (我打篮球,但我真正的爱好是田径)”可知,尽管作者真正爱好田径,但是依然打篮球,也没有加入田径队。所以选项A“她放弃了打篮球,加入了田径队”是作者的高中经历中所没有提到的,故选A。【42题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I often wish people werent so rud
73、e. Im a minority only in the sense of height. I like to think that those who have insulted me didnt intend to. (我常常希望人们不要这么粗鲁。身高上,我是少数。我喜欢认为那些侮辱我的人是无意的)”可知,作者认为那些侮辱他的人是无意的,也就是这些人并不是要侮辱作者,但是他们的话让作者感受到了侮辱。所以可知文章最后一句话 “I do believe that most people are basically good, but they can be insensitive. (我确实相
74、信大多数人本质上是善良的,但他们可能是没有意识到我的感受)”意思就是,这些人可能是善良的,只是他们没有考虑过这些话对作者产生的影响,没有意识到听了他们评论后作者的感受,也就是暗示了人们有时很少关心别人的感受。故选D。CIdentifying the chemical makeup of pigment (色素) used in ancient documents, paintings, and watercolors is critical to restoring and conserving the precious artworks. However, despite numerous
75、efforts, scientists had been unable to determine the source of folium, a popular blue dye used to color manuscripts (手稿) in Europe during the middle ages from the 5th to the 15th century.

It was written in the now extinct Judaeo-Portuguese language, and though the source of the dye was traced back to a plant, no name was mentioned.However, by piecing together suggestions from the text,
78、the scientists were able to determine that the dye was made from the bluish-green berries of the chrozophora tinctoria plant. After an extensive search, the team found a few varieties of the plant growing along the roadside near the town of Monsaraz in south Portugal.The detailed instructions gave t
79、he researchers critical clues including the best time to pick the berries. “You need to squeeze the fruits, being careful not to break the seeds, and then to put them on linen (亚麻).” The scientist says the detail was important since broken seeds polluted the pigment, producing an inferior quality in

When needed, the artist would simply cut off a piece of the cloth and dip it with water to squeeze out the blue color.Once the key ingredient had been identified, the researchers b

To their surprise, they found that folium was not like any other known permanent blue dyes it was an entirely new class of color, one they named chrozophoridin. “Chrozophoridin was used in ancient times to make a beautiful blue dye for painting.” the t

88、n by poring over instructions penned by European dye makers from the 12th, 14th, and 15th centuries. (研究小组首先poring over 12、14和15世纪欧洲染料制造商编写的说明书)”以及下文“They found what they were seeking in a 15th-century text entitled The Book on How to Make All the Color Paints for Illuminating Books. However, transl
89、ating the instructions was no easy task. (他们在15世纪的一本书中找到了他们想要的东西,这本书的题目是如何制作所有用于书籍照明的彩色颜料。然而,翻译说明书并非易事)”可知,研究小组先仔细地阅读了说明书,对其进行研究,所以pouring over意为“仔细阅读”。故选D项。【45题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“The dyed linen, which was left to dry, was an efficient way to store and transport the pigment during ancient times.

93、nt that there is something called human nature, something that constitutes the essence of man. There were various views about what constitutes it, but there was agreement that such an essence existsthat is to say, that there is something by virtue of which man is man. Thus man was defined as a ratio
94、nal(理性的) being, as a social animal, an animal that can make tools, or a symbol-making animal. More recently, this traditional view has begun to be questioned. One reason for this change was the increasing emphasis given to the historical approach to man. An examination of the history of humanity sug
95、gested that man in our time is so different from man in previous times that it seemed unrealistic to assume that men in every age have had in common something that can be called “human nature.” The historical approach was strengthened, particularly in the United States, by studies in the field of cu
96、ltural anthropology (人类学). The study of primitive peoples has discovered such a diversity of customs, values, feelings, and thoughts that many anthropologists arrived at the concept that man is born as a blank sheet of paper on which each culture writes its text. Another factor contributing to the t
97、endency to deny the assumption of a fixed human nature was that the concept has so often been abused as a shield(盾牌) behind which the most inhuman acts are committed. In the name of human nature, for example, Aristotle and most thinkers up to the eighteenth century defended slavery. Or in order to p
98、rove the rationality and necessity of the capitalist form of society, scholars have tried to make a case for acquisitiveness, competitiveness, and selfishness as natural human characters. Popularly, one refers cynically(愤世嫉俗地) to “human nature” in accepting the inevitability of such undesirable huma
99、n behavior as greed, murder, cheating and lying.Another reason for disbelief about the concept of human nature probably lies in the influence of evolutionary thinking. Once man came to be seen as developing in the process of evolution, the idea of a substance which is contained in his essence seemed
100、 untenable. Yet I believe it is precisely from an evolutionary standpoint that we can expect new insight into the problem of the nature of man.47. Most philosophers believed that human nature _.A. is the quality distinguishing man from other animalsB. consists of competitiveness and selfishnessC. is
101、 something partly innate and partly acquiredD. consists of rationality and undesirable behavior48.

105、us man was defined as a rational being, as a social animal, an animal that can make tools, or a symbol-making animal.(关于它是由什么构成的,有各种各样的观点,但人们一致认为,存在着这样一种本质,也就是说,人之所以为人,是由于某种东西的存在。因此,人被定义为一种理性的存在,一种社会动物,一种会制造工具的动物,一种会制造符号的动物)”可知,大多数传统哲学家都认为人的本性从本质上说与其他动物的品质是显著不同的。故选A。【48题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Another reas
106、on for skepticism about the concept of human nature probably lies in the influence of evolutionary thinking. Once man came to be seen as developing in the process of evolution, the idea of a substance which is contained in his essence seemed untenable.(怀疑人性概念的另一个原因可能在于进化思维的影响。一旦人类开始被看作是在进化的过程中发展起来的,
