35.D【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Onlyhumansandchimps,shesaid,hadasystemofcommunicationwheretheydeliberatelysentamessagetoanothergroupmember.(她说,只有人类和黑猩猩有一个交流系统,他们故意向其他成员发送信息)”可知,根据DrHobaiter,黑猩猩和人类的共同点在于故意传递信息,故选D。6.B【解析】推理判断题。根据第六段中的“DrSusanneShultz,anevolutionarybiologistfromtheUniversityofManchester,saidthestudywaspraiseworthyinseekingtoenrichourknowledgeoftheevolutionofhumanlanguage.But,sheadded,theresultswere“alittledisappointing”(曼彻斯特大学的进化生物学家苏珊娜·舒尔茨博士说,这项研究是值得称赞的,它试图丰富我们对人类语言进化的知识。但是,她补充说,结果“有点令人失望”)”可知,这项研究是一个好的尝试,但是发现的结果是有限的。故选B。7.A【解析】词义猜测题。首先根据第三段中的“They’retheonlythingthatlookslikehumanlanguageinthatrespect.(在这方面,它们是唯一看起来像人类语言的东西)”可知,黑猩猩的手势交流很像我们人类语言的交流方式。但是根据最后一段中的“Moreover,themeaningsseemtonotgobeyondwhatotheranimalsconveywithnon-verbalcommunications.(此外,这些含义似乎并不超越其他动物通过非语言交流所传达的信息)”可知,黑猩猩手势的交流方式还是和我们语言的交流方式存在不同的,也就是“So,itseemsthegulfremains.(所以,看来差异依然存在)”,故gulf的意思是difference,故选A。8.D【解析】主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Researcherssaytheyhavetranslatedthemeaningofgesturesthatwildchimpanzeesusetocommunicate.(研究人员表示,他们已经翻译出了野生黑猩猩用来交流的手势的含义)”以及文章对这方面的讨论可知,文章主要讲科学家们对黑猩猩手势的研究及一些成果,所以D项:黑猩猩语言:翻译出来的交流手势,这一题目涵盖文章的内容。故选D。C(2017·全国·高考真题)Cloudcomputingwillbeinusebyabout80percentofabout600companies.Thetrendsuggeststhatdatamanagementandstoragearemovingtocloudcomputingsellersonalargescale.Touting(兜售)cloudcomputingasawaytogetridofthecostsofbuyingandmaintaininon-siteinformation-technologyequipment,sellersofferitintheformofSoftwareAsA.Service(SAAS),adeliverymodelinwhichsoftwareapplicationsaredeliveredtocustomersoveraweb-basednetwork.SAAScanservetheneedsofentirecompaniesthroughhuge,web-basedplatforms.Ascloudcomputingrapidlybccomesthedeliverychannelforsoftwaredevelopersofallshapesandsizestogettheirproductstomarket,offeringapplicationsinacloudisnowtherulenottheexception.A.relativelysmallnumberofsellersareabletoofferSAAStobigcompaniesthatwantcompany-widecloudcomputing,andonlythesellersneedapply.Althoughmarket-sharedataarehardtocomeby,thelistofcompany’slargeenoughtooffercloud-computingonthisscaleisshort:Microsoft,Amazon,Google,Salesforce,Rackspaceandnotmanyothers.Theconcentrationofdataandvirtual(虚拟)computinginthehandsofrelativelyfewsellersraisesanimportantriskfortheircustomersiftheInternet-basedsystemsofanyonesellerarehacked,theresultcouldbesecurityproblemsacrossentireindustriesinwhichtheircustomersdoCanthissmallgroupofcloud-computingsellerseffectivelyrespondtotheneedsoftheircustomerstoquicklyfixsuchaproblemand,mostimportantly,cutoffthedamagetothesecompanies'owncustomers?Don'tthinksuchthingscan'thappen.IfhackerscanpenetratetheDepartmentofDefense,theriskthattheywill学科网(北京)股份有限公司

5economy.”可知,如果黑客能够入侵美国国防部,那么不能排除黑客入侵微软或谷歌的风险,即使是市场份额不大的其中一家销售商(遭到入侵),也有可能导致美国经济的相当大一部分遭遇暂时瘫痪。分析语境,最后一段提到国防部是为了借此警告人们黑客的力量(巨大破坏力),故选A。12.D【解析】主旨大意题。根据全文和第一段的句子"Cloudcomputingwillbeinusebyabout80percentofabout600companies.Thetrendsuggeststhatdatamanagementandstoragearemovingtocloudcomputingsellersonalargescale.”(大约600家公司中约80%的公司将使用云计算。这一趋势表明,数据管理和存储正在大规模地转向云计算销售商)可知,文章开头提出云计算时代的美好未来,全文主要介绍云计算时代的方方面面。TheCloudComputingAge是最恰当的标题,故选D。D(2012·辽宁·高考真题)IfConfucius(孔子)werestillalivetodayandcouldcelebratehisSeptember28birthdaywithabigcake,therewouldbealotofcandles.He'dneedafanorastrongwindtohelphimputthemout.WhilemanypeopleinChinawillrememberConfuciusonhisspecialday,fewpeopleintheUnitedStateswillgivehimapassingthought.It'snothingpersonal.MostAmericansdon'tevenrememberthebirthdaysoftheirownnationalheroes.Butthisdoesn'tmeanthatAmericansdon'tcareaboutConfucius.InmanywayshehasbecomeabridgethatforeignersmustcrossiftheywanttoreachadeeperunderstandingofChina.Inthepasttwodecades,theChinesestudiesprogramshavegainedhugepopularityinWesternuniversities.Morerecently,theChinesegovernmenthassetupConfuciusInstitutesinmorethan80countries.TheseschoolsteachbothChineselanguageandculture.ThemaincoursesofChinesecultureusuallyincludeChineseart,historyandphilosophy(哲学).SomesocialscientistssuggestthatWesternersshouldtakeadvantageoftheancientChinesewisdomtomakeupforthedrawbacks(缺陷)ofWesternphilosophy.StudentsintheUnitedStates,atthesametime,areracingtolearnChinese.SotheywillbereadyforlifeinaworldwhereChinaisanequalpowerwiththeUnitedStates.BusinessmenwhohopetomakemoneyinChinaarereadingbooksaboutConfuciustounderstandtheirChinesecustomers.Sotheoldthinker'sideasarestillaliveandwell.TodayChinaattractstheWestmorethanever,anditwillneedmoreteacherstointroduceConfuciusandChineseculturetotheWest.Asfortheoldthinker,hewillnotsoonbeforgottenbypeopleintheWest,evenifhisbirthdayis.13.Theopeningparagraphismainlyintendedto______________.A.providesomekeyfactsaboutConfuciusB.attractthereaders'interestinthesubjectC.showgreatrespectfortheancientthinkerD.provethepopularityofmodembirthdaycelebrations14.WecanlearnfromParagraph4thatAmericanstudents___________.A.haveagreatinterestinstudyingChineseB.takeanactivepartinChinesecompetitionsC.trytogethighscoresinChineseexams学科网(北京)股份有限公司

8angerofactivistswhosaythecreaturesactinginthemhaven’tbeentreatedproperly.(许多电影,包括“大象的眼泪”,“宿醉Ⅱ”和“管理员”,引起了动物保护人士的愤怒,他们说影片中的动物没有遭到很好的对待。)由此可知,其中一家监控动物待遇的非营利组织,今年正密切关注着2000多部影片。由此判断出,划线词的意思是“密切关注”。故选D项。F(2020·全国·高考真题)Wearetheproductsofevolution,andnotjustevolutionthatoccurredbillionsofyearsago.Asscientistslookdeeperintoourgenes(基因),theyarefindingexamplesofhumanevolutioninjustthepastfewthousandyears.PeopleinEthiopianhighlandshaveadaptedtolivingathighaltitudes.Cattle-raisingpeopleinEastAfricaandnorthernEuropehavegainedamutation(突变)thathelpsthemdigestmilkasadults.OnThursdayinanarticlepublishedinCell,ateamofresearchersreportedanewkindofadaptation-nottoairortofood,buttotheocean.Agroupofsea-dwellingpeopleinSoutheastAsiahaveevolvedintobetterdivers.TheBajau,asthesepeopleareknown,numberinthehundredsofthousandsinIndonesia,MalaysiaandthePhilippines.Theyhavetraditionallylivedonhouseboats;inrecenttimes,they’vealsobuilthousesonstilts(支柱)incoastalwaters.“Theyaresimplyastrangertotheland,”saidRedneyC.Jubilado,aUniversityofHawaiiresearcherwhostudiestheBajau.Dr.JubiladofirstmettheBajauwhilegrowinguponSamalIslandinthePhilippines.Theymadealivingasdivers,spearfishingorharvestingshellfish.“Weweresoamazedthattheycouldstayunderwatermuchlongerthanuslocalislanders,”Dr.Jubiladosaid.“Icouldseethemactuallywalkingunderthesea.”In2015,MelissaIlardo,thenagraduatestudentingeneticsattheUniversityofCopenhagen,heardabouttheBajau.Shewonderedifcenturiesofdivingcouldhaveledtotheevolutionofphysicalcharacteristicsthatmadethetaskeasierforthem.“itseemedliketheperfectchancefornaturalselectiontoactonapopulation,”saidDr.Ilardo.ShealsosaidtherewerelikelyanumberofothergenesthathelptheBajaudive.20.Whatdoestheauthorwanttotellusbytheexamplesinparagraph1?A.Environmentaladaptationofcattleraisers.B.Newknowledgeofhumanevolution.C.Recentfindingsofhumanorigin.D.Significanceoffoodselection.21.WhywastheyoungJubiladoastonishedattheBajau?A.Theycouldwalkonstiltsallday.B.Theyhadasuperbwayoffishing.C.Theycouldstaylongunderwater.D.Theylivedonbothlandandwater.22.Whatcanbeasuitabletitleforthetext?A.BodiesRemodeledforaLifeatSeaB.Highlanders’SurvivalSkillsC.BasicMethodsofGeneticResearchD.TheWorld’sBestDivers【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。最近一项对人类基因的研究发现,人类的进化不仅仅发生在数十亿年前,而且最近几千年也有。Bajau人因为靠海为生,他们的身体已经进化成更能适应海洋生活。20.B【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段的wearetheproductsofevolution,andnotjustevolutionthatoccurredbillionsofyearsago.Asscientistslookdeeperintoourgenes,theyarefindingexamplesofhumanevolutioninjustthepastfewthousand学科网(北京)股份有限公司
9years.(我们是进化的产物,而且不仅仅是数十亿年前的产物。当科学家更深入的研究我们的基因时,他们发现了人类在过去几千年进化的例子)可知,作者列举第一段的例子是为了告诉我们关于人类进化的一个新信息,那就是人类在最近几千年也在进化。B.Newknowledgeofhumanevolution.(人类进化的新知识)符合以上说法,故选B项。21.C【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段的weweresoamazedthattheycouldstayunderwatermuchlongerthanuslocalislanders.(我们很惊讶,他们在水下待的时间比我们当地的岛民要长的多)可知,让Jubilado感到吃惊的是Bajau人能在水下待更长的时间。C.Theycouldstaylongunderwater.(他们能在水下待很长时间)符合以上说法,故选C项。22.A【解析】主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容,尤其是第二段的OnThursdayinanarticlepublishedinCell,ateamofresearchersreportedanewkindofadaption-nottoairortofood,buttotheocean.(周四,在《细胞》杂志上发表的一篇文章中,一群研究人员报道了一种新的适应——不是空气也不是食物,而是海洋)可知,本文主要讲述了一种新的进化,即长期生活在海边,靠海为生的生活方式,让Bajau人的身体进化成更适应海洋生活。A.BodiesRemodeledforaLifeatSea.(身体为适应海洋生活而重塑)可以作为本文标题,故选A项。G(2020·北京·高考真题)Forthepastfiveyears,PaulaSmith,ahistorianofscience,hasdevotedherselftore-creatinglong-forgottentechniques.Whiledoingresearchforhernewbook,shecameacrossa16th-centuryFrenchmanuscript(手稿)consistingofnearly1,000setsofinstructions,coveringsubjectsfromtoolmakingtofindingthebestsand.Theauthor'sintentionremainsasmysterious(神秘)ashisname;hemayhavebeensimplytakingnotesforhisownrecords.ButSmithwasstruckmainlybythefactthatshedidn'ttrulygraspanyoftheskillstheauthordescribed."Yousimplycan'tgetanunderstandingofthathandworkbyreadingaboutit,"shesays.ThoughSmithdidgetherhandsonthebestsand,doingthingstheold-fashionedwayisn'tjustaboutplayingaroundwithFrenchmud.Reconstructingtheworkofthecraftsmen(工匠)wholivedcenturiesagocanrevealhowtheyviewedtheworld,whatobjectsfilledtheirhomes,andwhatwentonintheworkshopsthatproducedthem.Itcanevenhelpsolvepresent-dayproblems:In2015,scientistsdiscoveredthata10th-centuryEnglishmedicineforeveproblemscouldkilladrug-resistantvirus.Theworkhasalsobroughtinsightsformuseums,Smithsays.Onemustknowhowonobjectwasmadeinordertopreserveit.What'smore,reconstructionsmightbetheonlywaytoknowwhattreasureslookedlikebeforetimeworethemdown.ScholarshaveseenthisideainpracticewithancientGreekandRomanstatues.Thesesculptureswerepaintedarainbowofstrikingcolours.Wecan'tappreciatethesekindsofdetailswithoutseeingworksofartastheyoriginallyappeared-somethingSmithbelievesyoucandoonlywhenyouhavearoadmap.Smithhasputthemanuscript'sideasintopractice.Herfinalgoalistolinktheworldsofartandsciencebacktogether:Shebelievesthatbringingtheoldrecipestolifecanhelpdevelopakindoflearningthathighlightsexperimentation,teamwork,andproblemsolving.Backwhenscience—thencalled“thenewphilosophy”—tookshape,academicslookedtocraftsmenforhelpinunderstandingthenaturalworld.Microscopesandtelescopeswereinventedbywayofartistictinkering(修补),ascraftsmenexperimentedwithglasstobetterbendlight.Ifwecanrediscoverthevaluesofhands-onexperienceandcraftwork,Smithsays,wecanmarrythebestof学科网(北京)股份有限公司
