This result amazed all the scientists. There has long been debate in the scientific community that the two might be separate species,

5、 but this is the most convincing scientific evidence so far that they are indeed different species.Previously, many naturalists believed that African savanna elephants and African forest elephants were two populations of the same species, despite the elephants significant size differences. The savan

The savanna elephant weighs between six and seven tons, roughly double the weight of the forest elephant. But the fact that they look so different does not necessarily mea

7、n they are different species. However the proof lay in the analysis of the DNA.Alfred Roca, assistant professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Illinois, said, “We now have to treat the forest and savanna elephants as two different units for conservation purposes. Since 195

27、hristmas was drawing near”可知，礼物应在圣诞节假期之前到来，故用holiday。38D根据该空后的“and every evening”可知，姐姐每天早晨(morning)都要查一下包裹的跟踪号。39A根据句中的“if there was any sign of it”可知，姐姐每晚都给作者打电话，了解(find out)是否收到礼物了。take out “取出”，figure out “弄明白”，pick out “精心挑选”，都不符合语境。40C根据下文“We talked about our family”可知，作者和姐姐之间的谈话(conversation)总

28、是从询问包裹开始。41C根据下文“We talked about.”和“Of course we also talked about our jobs.”可知，二十分钟后作者和姐姐仍然在闲谈(chatting)。42B根据上文“We talked about our family”可知她们谈论自己的家人，而选项中只有husbands属于家庭成员，由此可得出答案为B项。43D作者和姐姐以前从来没有花那么多时间(time)交流。44A到了圣诞节前夕她们不得不接受(accept)这个事实。ignore “忽视”，consider “考虑”，study “研究”，都不符合语境。45D时间过去这么久了，

29、还没收到包裹，因此作者认为那包裹根本就是丢了。simply表示“简直，根本”，符合语境。46B姐姐和作者家(house)里的每个成员都逐一通电话，所以选B项。47B从上下文可知，这里应用missing，指那个丢失了的包裹，所以选B项。48A根据句中的“a man was standing there”可知，作者开了门，故用opened。49D根据51空后的“I wanted you to have this in time”可知，那个人确信包裹是作者的，所以用believe，选D项。50C作者看到那个人手中的包裹后意识到(realized)自己的包裹被投递到了错误的地址，所以选C项。51B从语

30、境可知，这里是转折关系。尽管他刚刚度假回来，但他想将包裹早日归还给主人，所以用but。52D那个人不辞辛劳地给作者送包裹，说明他是一个好心肠的人，所以用kind。53C这个包裹本来属于作者，因此应该是归还给作者，选return。show “展示”，present“赠予”，offer “提供”，都不符合语境。54A作者默默地(silently)感谢上帝。55D正因为包裹没有被准时送达，作者才和姐姐有那么多的时间交流，拉近了她们之间的距离，所以用closeness。distance“距离”，guide“指导”，recognition“认知”，都不符合语境。第三节：语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5

32、3.athe到2005年，这个数字到了3千万。这里是特指“手机用户的数量”，athe4.convenienceconvenient人们发现手机很方便，使用find +宾语+形容词：convenienceconvenient5. to -with get in touch with sb ,与某人取得联系。6. meetingmeet有不同的功能满足不同的需求。这里是不定式做目的状语7. surfsurfing such as后面接动名词： surfsurfing8.去掉an For example“例如”：去掉an9.our前加to手机的辐射会对我们的健康造成伤害。Do harm to“对造成伤害”，our前加to10.areis 拥有手机的人的数量还在稳定上升。主语是the number of，谓语是单数：areis
