答案以及解析

L答案:(1)-(4)BCDB

解析：(1).考查細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解。依據(jù)其次段中的〃PsychologistSusanLevine...found

childrenwhoplaywithpuzzlesbetweenages2and4laterdevelopbetterspatial

skills"以及第三段內(nèi)容可知，孩子們通過玩智力嬉戲可以培育空間技能。故選B。

(2).考查細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解。依據(jù)其次段最終一句"Puzzleplaywasfoundtobeasignificant

predictorofcognition(認(rèn)知)aftercontrollingfordifferencesinparents'income,

educationandtheamountofparenttalk,Levinesaid〃可知,Levine在設(shè)計(jì)試驗(yàn)時(shí)，考慮

到了父母的收入、教化以及談話量。故選C。

(3).考查細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解。依據(jù)倒數(shù)其次段最終一句"However,boystendedtoplaywithmore

complexpuzzlesthangirls,andtheparentsofboysprovidedmorespatiallanguage

andweremoreactiveduringpuzzleplaythantheparentsofgirls〃可知，男孩們較女

孩們而言，傾向于玩更困難的智力嬉戲。故選D。

(4).考查主旨大意。閱讀全文內(nèi)容尤其是最終一段〃Thefindingswerepublishedinthe

journalDevelopmentalSc,〃可知，該篇文章主要介紹的是一項(xiàng)科學(xué)探討。故選B。

2.答案:BDCA

解析：(1).考查推理推斷。依據(jù)第一段中的“theyarefindingexamplesofhumanevolution

injustthepastfewthousandyears〃可以推斷,作者舉例主要是為了告知讀者人類進(jìn)化的

新學(xué)問，故選B。

(2).考查細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解。依據(jù)其次段中的“Theyhavetraditionallylivedonhouseboats;

inrecenttimes,they，vealsobuilthousesonstilts(支柱)incoastalwaters〃可知，

巴瑤族人主要居住在沿海地區(qū),故D項(xiàng)正確。

(3).考查細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解。依據(jù)第三段中的“Weweresoamazedthattheycouldstay

underwatermuchlongerthanuslocalislanders〃可知，年輕的Jubilado對(duì)巴瑤族人驚異

不已的地方在于他們可以在水下待很長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間,故選Co

(4).考查標(biāo)題推斷。本文是一篇探討報(bào)道，依據(jù)其次段的探討結(jié)果〃ateamofresearchers

reportedanewkindofadaplation-nottoairortofood,buttotheocean”可知，本

文主要講解并描述了巴瑤族人為了更好地適應(yīng)海上的生活,身體結(jié)構(gòu)發(fā)生了改變，所以A項(xiàng)適

合作本文的標(biāo)題。

3.答案：(1)-(4)ADAC

解析：⑴.考查細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解。依據(jù)文章第一段的〃ResearchersfromBrighamYoung

Universitydiscoveredthatfathersareinauniquepositiontohelptheiradolescent

childrenlearnpersistence〃可推斷，該探討關(guān)注父親在教化子女堅(jiān)持方面的獨(dú)特作用和地

位。故答案為A項(xiàng)。

(2).考查推理推斷。依據(jù)文章第四段的zzAuthoritativeparenting...Rather,an

authoritativeparentingstyleincludessomeofthefollowingcharacteristics:

childrenfeelwarmthandlovefromtheirfather;responsibilityandthereasonsbehind

rulesarestressed”可推斷，真正的權(quán)威式父親不是“獨(dú)裁式”的,而是給孩子講規(guī)則、講理由

的。此處特殊要留意文章中的"thereasonsbehindrulesarestressed”與D項(xiàng)屬于同義替

換。所以答案為D項(xiàng)。

(3).考查推理推斷。依據(jù)文章最終一段的"thatsingleparentsstillmayplayarolein

teachingthebenefitsofpersistence,whichisanavenueoffutureresearch”可知，

將來的探討將會(huì)更多關(guān)注到單親父母在教化堅(jiān)持的好處方面的作用。因此選A項(xiàng)。

(4).考查標(biāo)題推斷。依據(jù)文章第一段的"ResearchersfromBrighamYoungUniversity

discoveredthatfathersareinauniquepositiontohelptheiradolescentchildren

learnpersistence”可知，本文主要圍繞父親的家教作用來綻開，提出父親對(duì)孩子堅(jiān)持的品質(zhì)

的培育有特殊的影響。故C項(xiàng)能夠很好地概括全文。

4.答案:(1)-(4)ABDA

解析：(1).考查細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解。依據(jù)第三段的內(nèi)容以及第四段第一句"Suspectingtheguinea

fowlmighthaveasocialstructure,Dr.Farineandhiscolleaguesbeganathorough

studyoftheirsociety”可知，鷲珠雞獨(dú)特的行為表現(xiàn)使Dr.Farine覺得它們可能有社會(huì)

結(jié)構(gòu),所以他和他的同事開展了這項(xiàng)探討,故選A
