(6)A

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，作者講了幾個關(guān)于個人的故事，通過故事告誡我

們：如果我們只去聆聽關(guān)于一個人、一個國家的單一故事，將會導(dǎo)致非常嚴(yán)重的誤解。

(1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段可知，作者實際上來自尼日利亞，經(jīng)常吃芒果，不討論

天氣，有著巧克力膚色?？芍辽俨皇钦f英語的歐洲人：再根據(jù)第四段，作者的美國舍友

對她能說一口流利英語表示疑惑可知，因此可以推斷出人們對尼日利亞的人第一印象可能

是認(rèn)為他們不會說流利的英語。故選Bo

(2)考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第二段中的"Irealizedthatpeoplelikeme,girlswithskinthecolor

ofchocolate,couldalsoexistinliterature.”可知作者的思想轉(zhuǎn)變是她意識到像她這樣有著巧克

力膚色的女生也是可以在文學(xué)作品中有一席之地的。即不僅僅外國人物才存在文學(xué)作品

中。故選c。

（3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。第二段、第三段、第四段分別講了作者自己意識到文學(xué)作品中人物

不限英美，作者發(fā)現(xiàn)Fide一家貧窮卻努力，作者的室友對尼日利亞的刻板印象。即一共三

個她的個人經(jīng)歷。故選B。

（4）考查推理判斷?？v觀全文可知，不論是作者、作者媽媽、作者的室友，不同的人們

有著不同的singlestory,實際上可以理解為"一面之詞""刻板印象"，但其實又不符合事實，

即會給聽眾傳達(dá)有偏見的想法，故選B。

（5）考查推理判斷。作者的一系列假設(shè)，其實是更好的做法。兼聽則明偏信則暗。我們

不應(yīng)該聽信一面之詞，應(yīng)該去多角度的均衡的了解。故選D。

（6）考查主旨大意。全文講述了作者、作者媽媽、作者的室友的偏見，以及作者對此的

看法。認(rèn)為一面之詞實際上是很不好的。在并沒有親自去觀察探索也沒有去多方面了解之

前，人們就接受了singlestoryo但其實往往并不符合事實。因此最好的標(biāo)題是一面之詞的

危險。故選A。

【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測，推理判斷和主旨大意四個題型的考查，是一

篇故事類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行

分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，通過對祖先牙齒化石的研究，科學(xué)家們發(fā)現(xiàn)第一批

用母乳喂養(yǎng)嬰兒的人類比同時代的其他的近親在時間上要長很多，而這種育幼差異可能在

人類進(jìn)化中扮演了重要角色，比如大腦發(fā)育和社會群體方面。

(1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的"Theresults,publishedinthejournalScienceAdvances,

provideafirstinsightintothepracticeofweaning”可知這項研究結(jié)果發(fā)表在《科學(xué)進(jìn)展》雜

志上，為斷奶行為提供了第一手資料，而這在化石記錄中是看不到的。故選A。

(2)考查句義猜測。根據(jù)第六段中的"Thepracticeofweaning-thedurationof

breastfeeding,ageatnon-milkfoodintroductionandtheageatcessationofsuckling-differs

amongthemodernmembersofthehominidfamilywhichincludeshumansandmoderngreat

apes:orangutan,gorillas,chimpanzeesandbonobos."可知現(xiàn)代人和古代人的斷奶行為不同，

而且人類和猩猩以及猿猴在斷奶的時間上是不同的，即不同時代/不同物種的斷奶行為是有

差異的，而畫線部分的such就是指上文提到的內(nèi)容。故選C。

(3)考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第七段中的"Thedevelopmentofsuchbehavioraldifferences...in

theevolutionofthemembersofhumanlineage,beingassociatedforinstancewithsizeand

structureofsocialgroups,braindevelopment.”可知，這種行為差異的發(fā)展可能在人類血統(tǒng)成

員的進(jìn)化中扮演了重要角色，例如與社會群體的大小和結(jié)構(gòu)，大腦的發(fā)展有關(guān)。所以短文

主要是關(guān)于育幼行為可能帶來的影響。故選B。
