附:参考答案A【答案】B【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段“SmithwentontocreatetheRaisingMenLawnCareService(RMLCS)tomowlawnsfortheelderly,disabled,singlemomsandformersoldier
sfreeofcharge.”可知,史密斯创办RMLCS是为了给老人,残疾人,单亲妈妈和退役军人免费修理草坪。故选B。【答案】C【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段“EventheQueenofEnglandtooknot
ice—thegovernorofBermudapresentedSmithwithanawardlatelastyearonbehalfofher.”可知,甚至英国女皇都知道史密斯,并派总督代表她给史密斯颁奖。故选C。【答案】C【解析】主旨大意题。全篇叙述了史密斯为特定人员免费修理
草坪,并且为全国孩子设立目标:为自己的家园免费修理50码的草坪。这一系列的举动,都是和修理草坪相关,是一种助人的行为。故选C。B【答案】D【解析】理解题干,迅速定位到文本第二段第一句话“Thefindingaddstot
heevidencethatchimpanzeescanunderstandwhenothersaresufferingandcan,tosomeextent,helpthem.”由此判断选D项。【答
案】A【解析】读懂第三段主要介绍观察对象、过程和结果,即如何具体实施研究,故选A项;第四段介绍了科学家的分析,因此把干扰项B排除;文章介绍了两个实验,第三段中没有进行比较,因此选项C排除;文章是说明文体裁,没有进行故事描写,排除D项。故选A项。【答
案】C【解析】理解第三段最后一句话中的“theywererespondingtotheirsiblings'suffering”;理解第四段第一句话“Inlinewiththis,chimpsreactwhenoneoftheirmembersisinj
ured”,(与之一致,当猩猩看到同伴受伤时,会做出反应);“this”就是指代第四段中的最后一句话。故选C项。【答案】A【解析】A选项“猩猩的确关爱”。本文通过两个实验发现猩猩在同伴或亲属痛苦受伤时表现出关爱,故选择A选项;B选项“猩猩的神秘”,表述太笼统,与本文主题不相关,故排除;C选项“猩猩
,生存还是毁灭”,与本文主题不相关,故排除;D选项“进化的力量”,太笼统,与本文主题不相关,故排除。C【答案】D【解析】词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“Itischeap,durable(耐用的),easil
yavailable,andmostimportantly,environmentallysustainable.Theonethingitisnot,istransparent(透明的)”可知,木头便宜,耐用,容易获得,最重要的是,可持
续。但是它不是透明的。而最后一句提到:由于科学家的努力,已经将“那个特点”添加到已有的特点单子里了。根据这个语境可以推知,该处应指,科学家们使得木头成为透明的了。“透明”也成为了它的一个特点。故该画线词应该指D选项:透明。【答案】
B【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Thelignin-freewoodwasthendippedintoapolymer(聚合物)andbakedatatemperatureof158Fforfourhours”可知,制造透明木头的过程之一是:将无木质素的木材浸泡在聚合物中,在158华氏度的
温度下烘烤4小时。因此B选项提到的“减少聚合物的量”和原文不符。故B选项切题。【答案】C【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Theyarenowexperimentingwithwaystoscaleupthemanufacturing
processsothatthetransparentmaterialiscost-effectivetomakeandeasytouse”可知,现在,他们正在尝试扩大制造工艺,使得透明材料制造起来更加合算,易于使用。由此推知,现在制造透明木头的成本仍然很高,需要降
低成本。故C选项正确。7【答案】A【解析】主旨大意题。最后一段介绍了透明木头将来在家庭,建筑物,太阳能电池板,环保等方面的应用。由此可知,最后一段主要介绍了透明木头的光明未来。故A选项正确。D【答案】C【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段“...but
researchersweresurprisedtofindthathoneybeesalsocomprehendthisabstractconcept,consideringtheinsects’tinybrains...”可知,令研究人员惊奇的是
蜜蜂的脑容量小,但它们却也能理解像“零”这样的抽象概念。故C选项正确。【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段的内容,尤其是最后一句可知,蜜蜂能飞向没有符号的卡片是不需要被进一步训练的。故D选项正确。【答案】A【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ifbeescanunderstan
d‘zero’withabrainoflessthanamillionneurons,itsuggeststherearesimple,efficientwaystoteachAInewtricks.Dyersaidinthestatement.”可知,AdrianDyer认为这些发
现能够为科技的发展提供一些灵感。故A选项正确。【答案】A【解析】主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要是在讲蜜蜂与其他许多动物一样,能理解诸如“零”这样的抽象概念。故A选项正确。
