10．a(chǎn)gainst【導語】本文是一篇說明文，主要講的是通過對猴子，老虎及鳥類的研究，研究人員提出了對“我們是地球上唯一會說話和思考的物種”的觀點的質(zhì)疑。1．考查主語從句。句意：縱觀歷史，我們是地球上唯一會說話和思考的物種，這一直是人類的驕傲。分析句子可知，句中it是形式主語，空處引導主語從句，從句成分和意義都完整，應用that引導從句。故填that。2．考查非謂語。句意：圣安德魯斯大學心理學家祖伯布勒（Zuberbuhler）和他的同事們記錄了Diana的猴子發(fā)出的數(shù)千個叫聲，并注意到猴子會調(diào)整它們的叫聲，以改變其含義，從而警告對方不同的情況。分析句子可知，此空應填非謂語，再根據(jù)句意可知，應填不定式作目的狀語。故填towarn。3．考查時態(tài)語態(tài)。句意：研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，類似的叫聲會被其他物種識別，比如Campbell猴。分析句子可知，此空應填謂語動詞，且thesamecalls和recognize為被動關(guān)系，主句為一般過去時，從句可用一般過去時，表示陳述過去的事實，也可用過去將來時，表示站在過去看將來。故填wouldberecognized/wererecognized。4．考查主語從句。句意：同樣令人驚訝的是，在鳥類身上發(fā)現(xiàn)了智力的跡象，長期以來，人們認為鳥類的小大腦是智力的完全障礙。分析句子可知，這里考查主語從句，且從句中缺主語，指物，應用連接代詞what引導從句。故填What。5．考查定語從句。句意：同樣令人驚訝的是，在鳥類身上發(fā)現(xiàn)了智力的跡象，長期以來，人們認為鳥類的小大腦是智力的完全障礙。分析句子可知，這里考查定語從句，先行詞為birds，在從句中作定語修飾smallbrains，應用關(guān)系代詞whose引導從句。故填whose。6．考查定語從句。句意：幾年前，麻省理工學院的艾琳·佩珀伯格（IrenePepperberg）教一只鸚鵡識別并數(shù)到六個物體，如果鳥類不能記住東西，這是不可能實現(xiàn)的。分析句子可知，這里考查非限制性定語從句，從句中缺主語，先行詞為上文整個句子的內(nèi)容，故用關(guān)系代詞which引導從句。故填which。7．考查時態(tài)語態(tài)。句意：這是首次在非人類身上觀察到這種行為。本句考查Itwasthefirsttimethat...haddonesth表“這是……第一次做某事”，為固定句型，且主語suchbehaviour和observe是被動關(guān)系。故填hadbeenobserved。8．考查非謂語。句意：在一項實驗中，七只烏鴉成功地用三種不同長度的棍子抓住了一塊放在夠不到的地方的食物。分析句子可知，此空應填非謂語，且apieceoffood和place為被動關(guān)系，再根據(jù)句意可知，這里應用過去分詞作后置定語成分。故填placed。9．考查非謂語。句意：至關(guān)重要的是，它們能夠在沒有任何特殊訓練的情況下完成這項任務，這表明鳥類能夠進行通常只與人類相關(guān)的抽象推理。分析句子可知，這里應填非謂語，且前面這件事和suggest(表明)為主動關(guān)系，再根據(jù)句意可知，這里應填現(xiàn)在分詞作狀語。故填suggesting。10．考查介詞。句意：所有這些都是有力的證據(jù)，反對人是獨一無二的這種觀點。分析句子可知，此空應填介詞，再根據(jù)句意可知，應填against，表“與……相反；反對”。故填against。評卷人得分二、詞匯填空Directions:Fillineachblankwithaproperwordchosenfromthebox.Eachwordcanonlybeusedonce.Notethatthereisonewordmorethanyouneed.A．timidity
