if so, how did human beings acquire this amazing skills ? biologist can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms function, but this doesnt tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history.本文是介紹關(guān)于人類使用語言的能力的說明文, 主要闡述人區(qū)分動(dòng)物的特殊能力及其相似性。( ) 1. according to the passage, the wonder we take for granted is .a. our ability to use languageb. the miracle of technologyc. the amazing power of natured. our ability to make noises with mouth答案：a考點(diǎn)：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題目: 根據(jù)文章, 我們認(rèn)為理所當(dāng)然的奇跡是:a: 我們使用語言的能力b: 技術(shù)的奇跡c: 自然的驚人力量d: 我們用嘴制造噪音的能力。解析：根據(jù)第一段倒數(shù)第二句話the universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noise without mouths, and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each others minds.可知: 我們把使用語言的能力這個(gè)奇跡當(dāng)做理所當(dāng)然。b, c選項(xiàng)與文章不符, 在第一段第二句話中可得知。d選項(xiàng)易誤導(dǎo)學(xué)生, 在文章中雖然有原話, 但一句話沒有說完, 關(guān)鍵是通過嘴巴發(fā)出的聲音去給其他人傳遞信息。故d選項(xiàng)也是錯(cuò)誤的。( ) 2. what feature of body language mentioned in the passage is common to both human an animals?a. lifting heads when sad.b. keeping long faces when angry.c. bristling hair when ready to attack.d. bowing heads when willing to obey.答案：d考點(diǎn)：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題目: 文章中提到的肢體語言的什么特征對(duì)于人類和動(dòng)物都是共同的:a: 傷心時(shí)抬頭b: 憤怒時(shí)拉長(zhǎng)臉c: 準(zhǔn)備攻擊時(shí)直立毛皮d: 樂意服從時(shí)低頭解析： 根據(jù)第三段最后一句話similarly, the bowed head or drooping tail shows .可知答案。a和b選項(xiàng)描繪的是人的肢體語言特征。c 選項(xiàng)描繪的是動(dòng)物的肢體語言。( ) 3. what can be inferred from paragraph 3?a. body language is unique to humans.b. animals express emotions just as humans do.c. humans have other powers of communication.d. humans are no different from animals to some degree.答案：d考點(diǎn)：推理判斷題。題目: 從第三段可以推段出:a: 肢體語言是人類獨(dú)一無二的b: 動(dòng)物和人類一樣表達(dá)情感c: 人類有其他交流的能力d: 人類在某種程度上和動(dòng)物是相同的解析： 根據(jù)第三段后三句話可知: 人類在某種程度上和動(dòng)物沒有不同。從段落中可得知a, b, c 均與文章不符。 ( ) 4. this passage is mainly about .a. the development of body language.b. the special role humans play in naturec. the power to convey information to othersd. the difference between humans and animals in language use答案：c考點(diǎn)：主旨大意題。題目: 這篇文章主要講述什么？a: 肢體語言的發(fā)展b: 人類在自然中扮演的特殊角色c: 給他人傳遞信息的力量d: 人類和動(dòng)物在語言使用中的差異解析： 整篇文章談?wù)摰亩际墙o他人傳遞信息的力量, 使用語言的能力。a, b選項(xiàng)文章未提及. d選項(xiàng)較片面, 文章第三段中提到了相似點(diǎn)和差異二種。完形填空in my early childhood, my parents and teachers taught me to be persistent(執(zhí)著的)in every task i devoted myself to. i was1that persistence is the only way towards success. but a small2made me change my mind. one day my two-year-old son, 3at a dozen of“stood”color marker-pens, cheered excitedly, “mummy, look! i did it. ”afterwards, he collected some ballpoint pens, 4to do the same. hard though he tried, the ballpoint pens just lay5. he turned to me for help. noticing they had either sharp or round ends, i said6, “mummy cant help you. ”to my surprise, he wouldnt listen and continued trying. . . i was dumbfounded by his persistence. my sons behaviour reminded me of george who was always7in his work and rarely talked to anyone. to him, 8, there was no such thing called weekends or holidays. our boss praised9about him and10us to look up to him as a role model. one day i met george. “gonna work late again tonight?
