41.D【分析】這是一篇新聞報(bào)道。報(bào)道了科學(xué)家對于人類能成為優(yōu)秀跑步者的觀點(diǎn)。【38題詳解】段落大意題。由第二段“Butwhenitcomestolong-distancerunning,humanswilldoastonishinglywell.Theycankeepasteadypaceformanykilometres,andtheirspeedisatleastatthesamelevelwiththatofhorses.”可知，但是，當(dāng)談到長跑，人類將會(huì)做得驚人地好。他們可以穩(wěn)定地跑許多公里，速度至少和馬一樣快。所以判斷出，第二段主要告訴我們?nèi)祟愂情L距離奔跑的好手。故B選項(xiàng)正確?！?9題詳解】推理判斷題。由第三段“ThenthereareAchillestendonsatthebacksofourlegs,formingthemechanicallinksbetweenthemusclestothebones.Theyactlikestrongstringsandhelptopushusforwardwhenwerun.”可知，在我們的腿后面有跟腱，形成肌肉和骨骼之間的機(jī)械聯(lián)系。當(dāng)我們奔跑時(shí)，它們就像強(qiáng)大的琴弦，幫助我們前進(jìn)。所以判斷出第三段主要告訴我們肌腱使人類適于奔跑。故A選項(xiàng)正確。【40題詳解】推理判斷題。由第四段“Somescientistsguessthatearlyhumansmayhaverunafteranimalsforgreatdistancestomakethemtiredbeforekillingthem.Runningwouldalsohaveshownanotheradvantage:earlyhumansmighthaveeatenthemeatleftoverfromakillbyotherlargeanimals.Theymayhavebeenwarnedoftheexistenceofafreshlykilledanimalbyvultures(禿鷹),andthefastertheygottothesceneofthekill,thebetter.”可知，一些科學(xué)家猜測，早期的人類可能在捕殺動(dòng)物之前，為了讓它們疲勞而追逐了它們很遠(yuǎn)的距離。跑步也會(huì)顯示出另一個(gè)優(yōu)勢：早期的人類可能吃其他大型動(dòng)物捕殺時(shí)剩下的肉。他們可能被禿鷲警告有剛被殺死的動(dòng)物，他們越快到達(dá)被殺死的地方越好。所以判斷出對早期人類的結(jié)論是由于狩獵的需要，他們在奔跑方面有進(jìn)化。故D選項(xiàng)正確?！?1題詳解】推理判斷題。由最后段“Attheveryleast,Ihopethistheorywillmakemanypeoplehavesecondthoughtsabouthowhumanslearnedtorunandwhywearebuiltthewayweare.”可知，至少，我希望這個(gè)理論會(huì)讓許多人重新思考人類是如何學(xué)會(huì)跑步的，以及為什么我們會(huì)以現(xiàn)在的身體結(jié)構(gòu)出現(xiàn)。所以判斷出劃線句子的意思是讓人們重新考慮我們的身體結(jié)構(gòu)。故D選項(xiàng)正確。【點(diǎn)睛】在but，however，yet，otherwise，though這些表示意義轉(zhuǎn)折的連詞出現(xiàn)的句子中，其前后的語意有明顯的轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，根據(jù)已知的內(nèi)容，通過這轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，就很容易判斷出段落所要表達(dá)的主要意思。由第二段可知，傳統(tǒng)的觀點(diǎn)認(rèn)為，與馬這樣的動(dòng)物在短距離奔跑時(shí)相比，人類是不善于奔跑的。但是通讀全文我們可知，短文主要在介紹幫助人類能夠進(jìn)行長距離奔跑的因素有哪些，所以傳統(tǒng)觀點(diǎn)所認(rèn)為的不是主要內(nèi)容。所以通過對“Butwhenitcomestolong-distancerunning,humanswilldoastonishinglywell.Theycankeepasteadypaceformanykilometres,andtheirspeedisatleastatthesamelevelwiththatofhorses.”這樣的轉(zhuǎn)折句，判斷出but之后的句子才是本段的段落大意題。再通過對but之后句子的總結(jié)概括，故推斷出人類是長跑的好手。故第1小題的正確答案為B選項(xiàng)。19.WritingContests，Grants&Awardsin2019TheWritingContests，Grants（補(bǔ)助金）&Awardsdatabaseincludesdetailsaboutthecreativewritingcontests-includingpoetrycontests，shortstorycompetitions，essaycontests，awardsfornovels，andmore-thatwe'vepublishedin"Poets&WritersMagazine"duringthepastyear．Wecarefullyreviewthepracticesandpoliciesofeachcontestbeforeincludingit．Usetheonlinesubmissionsystem．CatherineDoctorowInnovativeFictionPrizeAprizeof﹩15，000isgivenannuallyforanovel，orastorycollection．U．S．writerswhohavepublishedatleastthreebooksoffictionarequalified．Submitamanuscript（手稿）ofanylength，abriefbiography，andalistofthreepreviouslypublishedbooksoffictionwitha﹩25entryfeebyNovember1，2019．UniversityofAlabamaPress，P．O．Box870380，Tuscaloosa，AL35487．（773）702-7000．WaltWhitmanAwardAprizeof﹩5，000isgivenannuallyforapoetrycollectionbyapoetwhohasnotpublishedabookofpoemsinastandardedition．Thewinningbookwillalsobedistributedto5，000membersoftheAcademyofAmericanPoets．Submitamanuscriptof48to100pageswitha﹩35entryfeebyNovember1，2019．AcademyofAmericanPoets，75MaidenLane，Suite901，NewYork，NY10038．（212）274-0343．GabrieleRicoChallengeinCreativeEssayAprizeof﹩1，333isgivenannuallyforanessay．Usingtheonlinesubmissionsystem，submitanessayofupto5，000wordswitha﹩20entryfee，byNovember1，2019．Allentriesareconsideredforpublication．Visitthewebsiteforcompleteguidelines．SanJoseStateUniversity，EnglishDepartment，OneWashingtonSquare，SanJose，CA95192．（408）924-4425．BrooklynNonfictionPrizeAprizeof﹩500isgivenannuallyforaworkofnonfictionthatissetinBrooklyn，NewYork，
