【答案】1.C2.A3.D4.B

【解析】

【分析】這是一篇說(shuō)明文。盡管世界各個(gè)國(guó)家和民族的文化，包括語(yǔ)言存在很的差異，但是還是會(huì)存在一些通用的形式，即所謂的“通用語(yǔ)言”來(lái)幫助人們交流和分享不同的情感。音樂(lè)，舞蹈和數(shù)學(xué)都具備這樣的功能。

【1題詳解】

主旨大意題。由第一段中的“However，theycanalsobesimilarinwaysofconnectingwitheachother”，可知，然而，他們可以用一些相似的方式交流。再結(jié)合下文的描述可知，這段主要是說(shuō)人們可以用一些相似的方式交流。故C選項(xiàng)正確。

【2題詳解】

詞義猜測(cè)題。由第二段“Somelegendsholdthat，thousandsofyearsago，therewasasinglelanguagespokenbyeveryoneonEarth.Ofcourse，historicalevidencedoesnotsupportthis”可知，有些傳說(shuō)認(rèn)為，幾千年前，地球上的每個(gè)人都說(shuō)一種語(yǔ)言。當(dāng)然，歷史證據(jù)并不支持這一點(diǎn)。所以上文介紹了有些傳說(shuō)的觀點(diǎn)，此處的this就是指這種觀點(diǎn)，也就是“人們過(guò)去都使用一種語(yǔ)言”。故A選項(xiàng)正確。

【3題詳解】

推理判斷題。由第三段中的“Expertshavelearnedthat，acrosscultures，peoplecanrecognizethreecommonemotionsinmusic：happiness，sadnessandfear”可知，專家們已經(jīng)了解到，在不同的文化中，人們可以識(shí)別出音樂(lè)中三種常見(jiàn)的情感：快樂(lè)、悲傷和恐懼。所以通過(guò)關(guān)鍵詞“commonemotions，happiness，sadnessandfear”可以判斷出，音樂(lè)被認(rèn)為是一種通用語(yǔ)言，可能是因?yàn)樗兄谌藗兎窒砉餐母惺?。故D選項(xiàng)正確。

【4題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段，第四段以及第五段“Forexample，somepeoplebelievemusicisauniversallanguage.Theremaybesomescientificsupportforthisidea.Somepeoplebelievedanceisauniversallanguage.Anotheruniversallanguagethatyoumightnothavethoughtofismathematics”可知，例如,一些人認(rèn)為音樂(lè)是一種通用語(yǔ)言。這一觀點(diǎn)可能有一些科學(xué)依據(jù)。有些人認(rèn)為舞蹈是一種通用語(yǔ)言。另一種你可能想不到的通用語(yǔ)言是數(shù)學(xué)。所以根據(jù)這篇文章，音樂(lè)、舞蹈和數(shù)學(xué)是通用語(yǔ)言。故B選項(xiàng)正確。

【點(diǎn)睛】抓住特定信息進(jìn)行逆向或者正向推理。做此類試題要善于抓住某一段話中的關(guān)鍵信息，即某些關(guān)鍵詞或短語(yǔ)去分析、推理、判斷，利用逆向思維或正面推理，從而推斷出這句話所隱含的深層含義。

由第三段中的“Expertshavelearnedthat，acrosscultures，peoplecanrecognizethreecommonemotionsinmusic：happiness，sadnessandfear”可知，專家們已經(jīng)了解到，在不同的文化中，人們可以識(shí)別出音樂(lè)中三種常見(jiàn)的情感：快樂(lè)、悲傷和恐懼。音樂(lè)能夠讓人們分享共同的情感。所以通過(guò)關(guān)鍵詞“commonemotions，happiness，sadnessandfear”可以判斷出，音樂(lè)被認(rèn)為是一種通用語(yǔ)言，可能是因?yàn)樗兄谌藗兎窒砉餐母惺?。故D選項(xiàng)為小題3的正確選項(xiàng)。

C.Humansvaluenatureprotectionoversocialprogress.

D.Urbanizationhasmoreadvantagesthandisadvantages.

【答案】5.C6.D7.A

【解析】

【分析】這是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了在城市化全面推進(jìn)的社會(huì)里終于見(jiàn)到了第一棵真樹(shù)，這棵樹(shù)種在O’Brien家后院，但是因?yàn)橐獮橐恍┍ｋU(xiǎn)大樓騰出空間，明年這棵樹(shù)也要被砍掉，這使很沮喪。

【5題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“TheO’Brienhomewasoneofthefewexamplesofold-stylewoodenstructuresthathadn’tbeendestroyedinBoston’surban-renewalcampaign.Thefamilyhadbeenabletoavoidthisbecauseofitswealthandpoliticalinfluence,andthehousewaspassedonthroughgenerationstothepresent.…Thenanofficialdiscoveredthatthehousehadabackyard-intheyardwasalivetree!(在波士頓的城市重建運(yùn)動(dòng)中，奧布萊恩的房子是少數(shù)幾個(gè)沒(méi)有被摧毀的舊式木結(jié)構(gòu)建筑的例子之一。由于其財(cái)富和政治影響力，這個(gè)家族得以避免這種情況，這所房子代代相傳到現(xiàn)在。……后來(lái)一位官員發(fā)現(xiàn)這所房子有一個(gè)后院——院子里是一棵活的樹(shù)!)”可知，O’Brien家后院的樹(shù)能存活到今天是因?yàn)樗头孔右黄鸨恢魅吮４媪讼聛?lái)。故選C項(xiàng)。

【6題詳解】
