40、C(2015江苏名校联考)Its not just great minds that think alike. Dozens of the genes involved in the vocal learning that underpins human speech are also active in some songbirds (黄莺). And knowing this suggests that birds could become a standard model for investigating the genetics of speech production and sp

41、eech disorders.Complex language is a uniquely human trait, but vocal learning the ability to pick up new sounds by imitating others is not. Some mammals, including whales, dolphins and elephants, share our ability to learn new vocalizations (发声). So do three groups of birds: the songbirds, parrots a

42、nd hummingbirds.The similarities between vocal learning in humans and birds are not just superficial. We know, for instance, that songbirds have specialised vocal learning brain circuits that are similar to those that mediate (传达) human speech.Whats more, a decade ago we learned that FOXP2, a gene k

43、nown to be involved in human language, is also active in “area X” of the songbird brain one of the brain regions involved in those specialised vocal learning circuits.Andreas Pfenning at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and his colleagues have now built on these discoveries. They compared m

45、rains of six people who donated tissue to the Allen Brain Institute in Seattle.Their results showed that FOXP2 is just one of 55 genes that show a similar pattern of activity in the brains of humans and the vocallearning birds. Those same genes show different patterns of activity in the brains of an

47、Huntingtons，” says Pfenning. Huntingtons disease affects the ability to produce complex motor behaviour, such as singing and talking, so experiments with birds might implicate particular genes in the disease.Constance Scharff at the Free University of Berlin in Germany, who helped identify the impor

48、tance of FOXP2 for vocal learning in birds agrees that songbirds can make great models for human speech and its pathologies (病理学). “My labs research during the past 10 years has shown that FOXP2 is as relevant for birds song learning as it is for human speech learning，” she says.41Which of the follo

I wanted to sing RockaBye Merlin, as I did every night as he would put his paws around my neck.Merlin was my comfort especially at times when I wondered if God was listening. But last nig

54、ht something had changed. Not only did I sing RockaBye Merlin, but I asked, “What will I do after youre gone？”Although Merlin was 19 years old, a senior in the age of a cat, he didnt look or act that way. I didnt want to accept the fact that he was nearing the end of his lifetime. My job at the law

55、firm was so demanding and stressful that I couldnt imagine getting through the day without Merlin waiting to greet me at home.I dialed the vets number. I asked for my husband but he already left. Then I took a breath and asked the question that no one wants to ask, “Is my Merlin still alive？” The nu

56、rse said, “Yes.”Ron came home and said that Merlin had almost no red blood cells left. White blood cells were replacing them. Merlin would need expensive transfusions most likely on a monthly basis. We both knew Merlin was running out of time. I asked Ron to drive me to the vet so I could say goodby

Merlin had survived the night.After driving to the vet, I went into the examining room. The nurse brought Merlin and placed

58、 him on an examining table on his side. His eyes were tightly shut. I thought he died already. I carefully edged my hand to reach his body. His body felt warm, but when I spoke his name there was no response. No response to his name or that I was there and that I loved him. I was extremely sad.In th

I kept repeating those words.Merlin opened the other eye and, one limb at a time, got up. He was waiting for that phrase. He wanted to hear that he was be

61、autiful and gorgeous again.Then I experienced another miracle.There was no sound in that examining room until Merlin started walking to me. From out of nowhere, or maybe from heaven, I clearly heard a song we sung in church often: It Is Well With My Soul. I remembered thinking, “Yes, it is well with

62、 my soul. I got to see my little boy cat one more time.”Merlin walked to me. He put his face in mine, which he had never done before. He rubbed a circle around my face twice. Merlin said goodbye with his face and marked me for life.Ron appeared shocked that Merlin was up and had walked to me. I said

63、 to Merlin, “Tell God you are a good boy and how much we love you” and then handed him back to the nurse.Tears of gratitude poured forth in memory of a miracle. You see for nineteen years God spoke to me through a special cat named Merlin. On Merlins last day, God proved he heard me when he granted

69、合句意。故答案选A。2选D考查不定代词。句意：“我卖掉了我的第一幅画！”“太棒了！一定有人认为你的画是极好的。”This/It is really something为习惯用法，意为“太棒了，好极了”。该句中something指“重要的事物(人)，有一定意义的事物”，符合句意。故答案选D。3选C考查动词的时态。句意：我们一直在努力培训上个月雇用的这些年轻人，但是他们并没有尽力去学习。根据前一分句的现在完成进行时可知，句子谈论的是现在的情况，这里指接受培训的年轻人目前没有尽力学习，故应用现在进行时。故答案选C。4选C考查连词辨析。句意：厌倦了她无休止的抱怨，我在她开口说话之前就走出了房间。此句为

70、时间状语从句，before作为连词，其基本含义是“在之前”。根据句意可知，“我”应该是在她说话之前走出房间，before符合题意。故答案选C。5选A考查名词辨析。句意：据北京青年报报道，一家公司拒绝了一个大学毕业生的工作申请，因为她那份400字的手写简历中有24个错别字。application“申请”，符合语境。故选A项。interview“面试，采访”；offer“提议”；opportunity“机会”。6选D考查动词短语辨析。句意：为了防止进一步的污染，许多人正在呼吁使用可替代能源。apply to“适用于，应用于”；compensate for“赔偿”；cater to“迎合”；push

71、 for“努力说服，力劝，呼吁”。故答案选D。7选A考查虚拟语气。句意：库克先生的身体逐渐好转起来，但是医生建议他在医院里再多待几天。recommend“建议”，后面接宾语从句时，从句中的谓语应用“(should) do”结构。故选A项。8选A考查独立主格结构。句意：返校日通常包含很多活动，例如体育运动、文化活动、音乐会或比赛等，这些都取决于学校的传统。因为前面的句子结构完整，且空格前没有连词，所以空格处为非谓语动词，与其他构成独立主格。depend on和其逻辑主语all(指代活动)之间为逻辑上的主动关系，故用现在分词。故答案选A。9选A考查同位语从句。句意：“人生并不是康庄大道”这句谚语表

72、达了这样一个观念：我们在生活中会遇到各种盛衰起伏。concept后的同位语从句中不缺少成分，且句意完整，所以应用that引导。故选A项。10选A考查形容词辨析。句意：在这个数字时代，云计算的快速普及意味着网民们需要采取更多的措施来确保他们的数据安全。secure“安全的”，符合语境。故选A项。stable“稳定的”；particular“特别的”；accurate“精确的”。11选A考查倒装结构。句意：自拍已经非常流行，不仅仅是因为拿出智能手机(拍照)比叫住一个陌生人为你拍照少了一些尴尬，而且还因为你想拍多少照片都可以。当not only . but also . 连接两个句子且not onl

73、y位于句首时，not only后的句子要用部分倒装结构，故排除B、D两项；再结合句意可知，自拍的尴尬更少，故排除C项。故答案选A。12选C考查动词辨析。句意：计划在审批过程中被卡住了，因此大家不得不停下来，等待申请表从相关部门那里批回。strike“打；击”；occupy“占领”；stick“粘住，卡住，陷住”；deliver“递送”。此处用get done结构表被动，根据句意“计划不能进行”可知，应用get stuck“被卡住”。故答案选C。13选B考查定语从句。句意：对于那些开拓者来说，大海不是一个障碍，而是一道著名的风景，他们不断地坐船穿越大海，交换商品和知识。固定搭配travel ac

74、ross the ocean表示“穿越大海”，故定语从句的关系词用介词“acrosswhich”， which指代先行词“the ocean”。故答案选B。14选D考查非谓语动词。句意：“据说汤姆曾经离家出走过。”“是的，在花光了所有的钱，不得不打工时，他就回家了。”and连接并列结构，本题中and前后都应用动词的ing形式，作介词“After”的宾语，故排除B、C两项；而在be reduced to短语中，to为介词，其后应用动词的ing形式。故答案选D。15选C考查情景交际和习语。句意：“微软的老板Satya Nadella不得不作出道歉，因为他发表评论建议妇女不要要求涨工资而要忠于体制。

75、”“他活该。病从口入，祸从口出。”根据上文可知，微软老板是因为说错话而惹了麻烦。C项意为“病从口入，祸从口出”，符合题意。故答案选C。A项意为“人有旦夕祸福”；B项意为“有功者受赏”；D项意为“行动胜于语言”。.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。介绍了美国家长参与学校管理的情况，并对家校合作的情况进行了详细说明。16选B名词degree后常跟介词to，表示达到的程度。故答案选B。17选A固定短语be involved in意为“参与”，根据语境可知，此处指家长参与孩子们的学校活动，与第一段中的“Parent involvement”相照应。故答案选A。18选B句意：很多学校都有家长教师协会(P.T.

76、A.)，它们是由家长和教师组成的机构。句中谈论的是协会里面的成员，应用consist of，意为“由组成，包括”。19选A根据空格前的“meet together”和空格后的“discuss and consult .”可知，他们聚在一起谈论学校的各项活动，故用“定期地”比较符合事实。故答案选A。20选D分析句子结构可知，or连接的成分为并列成分，故其后面为名词性短语或从句，与之前的名词“curriculum”等属于一类，故排除A、B、C三项。在这一从句中whatever作be的表语。故答案选D。21选A根据上文可知，家长教师协会不是强迫性组织，因此家长的行为也是自愿的。故答案选A。22选C根

77、据P.T.A.组织的功能可知，该组织里的家长们应是在活动中协助教师。故答案选C。23选C空格处与其前后构成短语under the direction of“在指导下”，结合上文可知，此处指老师指导家长。故答案选C。24选A句意：为了孩子们的健康成长，一些好的学校致力于家校合作。make effort“作出努力”，符合题意。故答案选A。25选D此空格为宾语补足语，根据宾语teachers可知，应用eager，表示老师的态度是“热切的”。故答案选D。26选B根据上下文可知，尽管学校越大，老师与家长交流的机会就越少，但老师对于家长交流的态度是很热切的。前后句之间为让步关系，用although。故答案

78、选B。27选D根据下文安排的家校合作的活动内容可知，这里指前提是场地大小允许。故答案选D。28选D根据语境可知，这种事先安排好的约会目的是便于谈论问题，故用so that表目的。故答案选D。29选B根据空格后的“one or more”可知，是为数不多的人参与，故不是公开地而是私下地。故答案选B。30选A根据上文可知，父母和家长谈论的应该是孩子的问题或进步。根据空格后的“progress”可知，此处应用problem。故答案选A。31选C根据上下文可知，学校应该是期待家长参与学校活动并显示出他们对学校教育的关心。故答案选C。32选A根据上下文并结合生活常识可知，在家长日，父母如果参与孩子一天的

79、活动自然是按照孩子的课程表。故答案选A。33选C空格后提到可以在社区里交朋友，所以and前面的部分应是指遇见附近的人。此处和“in the community”相呼应，故选neighbors。故答案选C。34选D“a help”和“a disadvantage”之间为选择关系，根据上文“Americans enjoy meeting people from other countries”可知，此处应指来自其他国家“是帮助而不是缺点”，用rather than。故答案选D。35选B结合上文可知，此处指即使你在语言交流方面有障碍，(你的他国背景)也会对你交友有帮助。故答案选B。. 语篇解读：本文

80、是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一个俱乐部的活动情况。36选B细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“added to our email list . or 6174961426 . visit us on Facebook”可知，要了解这个俱乐部的情况可以通过三种方式，即发送电子邮件、打电话或登录相关网站。故答案选B。37选D细节理解题。通读三项活动可知，第一、二项活动后会提供食物，但文章没有提及提供食物的时间，第三项活动没有提及是否提供食物。故答案选D。语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了埃及计划建设新首都的相关事宜。38选C细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Fed up with pollution
