分析 本文為記敘文,敘述了在一場雷雨引發(fā)房屋火災之后,Sibson如何自救,以及他的鄰居Huggons如何幫他脫離險境的驚心動魄的故事.本文旨在說明患難之中見真情,要記住別人對自己的幫助,要用感恩之心.

解答 21.A  考查連詞辨析    根據(jù)句意可知,在Sibson還不知道發(fā)生什么事情的時候,便被一聲雷鳴震醒.此處before表示"還來不及…就…".故選A.
22.D  考查介詞辨析    根據(jù)語境可知,"暴風雨直襲他的兩層木屋",暴風雨應該是從房屋上方襲來,故用over.故選D.
23.C  考查動詞辨析    根據(jù)后文"他打開通向地下室的門"可以判斷Sibson沖下樓梯的目的是"查看一下"到底發(fā)生了什么事情.故選C.
24.D  考查動詞辨析    根據(jù)句意可知,他打開地下室的門,火焰從里面噴發(fā)出來.此處explode out意為break out(突然爆發(fā)).故選D.
25.A  考查形容詞辨析  根據(jù)此句中"因為這個房間有一個通向屋外的獨立的樓梯",因此他當時感覺應該是"安全的".故選A.
26.B  考查動詞辨析    根據(jù)語境可知,當他正想通過那個樓梯出去的時候,卻被一堵火墻給阻攔(stop),故用B.
27.B  考查介詞辨析    根據(jù)前面"three kilometres"及后文"so wellhidden by trees"可知他的房子應該是離開主干道有3公里.所以用介詞off.故選B.
28.C  考查形容詞辨析  由于離開主干道3公里且被樹所遮蔽,因此呼救是沒有結果的(fruitless),故選C.
29.A  考查動詞辨析    由語境可知,突然他聽到了像煙霧警報器之類的聲音.strike one's ears"傳進某人的耳朵;突然聽到".故選A.
30.D  考查名詞辨析    根據(jù)后文Huggons撥打911可知,他是帶上了他的電話.故選D.
31.A  考查名詞辨析    根據(jù)語境可知,Huggons應該是朝著他所聽到的聲音方向而去.故選A.
32.B  考查動詞辨析    警察應該是警告Huggons不要進入Sibson的房子.所以用enter,故選B.
33.C  考查名詞辨析    Huggons說他不能聽到Sibson的拼命叫喊.應使用scream,故選C.
34.A  考查名詞辨析    根據(jù)語境可知,Huggons進入房子,但由于煙霧很大,他很快不得不跑回來"喘口氣".此處catch one's breath意為"喘口氣",故選A.
35.D  考查動詞辨析    根據(jù)語境可知,在又一次打算進入房子的嘗試之后,Huggons最后還是放棄了,繞著圈子回來了.此處應使用attempt(嘗試),故選D.
36.B  考查動詞辨析    由語境可知,由于煙霧很大,Huggons應該是摸索著繞著從房子里面出來的,故選B.
37.C  考查形容詞辨析  當風將煙霧吹得足夠的分散,以致他能夠看到Sibson.此處part表示將…分開,因此不能用open,故選C.
38.D  考查動詞辨析    他用電筒往叢林中照.此處shine theflashlight為固定說法,意為"用電筒照".故選D.
39.C  考查動詞辨析    Huggons將梯子搭在房子上,將Sibson從二樓拽下來.此時二樓房子就要倒了,為了形容動作之快,所以用pull,故選C..
40.D  考查形容詞辨析  根據(jù)后文Sibson自己所說的話"我當天晚上是一個人.然后我聽到了我生命中最美麗的聲音,是Huggons"可知,他對Huggons心存感激.故選D.

9.Working with a group of baboons (狒狒) in the Namibian desert,Dr.Alecia Carter of the Department of Zoology,Cambridge University set baboons learning tasks involving a novel food and a familiar food hidden in a box.Some baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task,while others had to learn for themselves.To work out how brave or anxious the baboons were,Dr.Carter presented them either with a novel food or a threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake.
She found that personality had a major impact on learning.The braver baboons learnt,but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones did.In effect,despite being made aware of what to do,they were still too shy to do what the experienced baboon did.
The same held true for anxious baboons compared with calm ones.The anxious individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed did not,even though they spent more time watching.
This mismatch between collecting social information and using it shows that personality plays a key role in social learning in animals,something that has previously been ignored in studies on how animals learn to do things.The findings are significant because they suggest that animals may perform poorly in cognitive (認知的) tasks not because they aren't clever enough to solve them,but because they are too shy or nervous to use the social information.
The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning.If some individuals are unable to get information from others because they don't associate with the knowledgeable individuals,or they are too shy to use the information once they have it,information may not travel between all group members,preventing the formation of a culture based on social learning.

59.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A
A.The design of Dr.Carter's research.
B.The results of Dr.Carter's research.
C.The purpose of Dr.Carter's research.
D.The significance of Dr.Carter's research.
60.According to the research,which baboons are more likely to complete a new learning task?D
A.Those that have more experience.
B.Those that can avoid potential risks.
C.Those that like to work independently.
D.Those that feel anxious about learning.
61.Which best illustrates the"mismatch"mentioned in Paragraph 4?C
A.Some baboons are intelligent but slow in learning.
B.Some baboons are shy but active in social activities.
C.Some baboons observe others but don't follow them.
D.Some baboons perform new tasks but don't concentrate.
62.Dr.Carter's findings indicate that our culture might be formed throughB.
A.storing information
B.learning from each other
C.understanding different people
D.travelling between social groups.
