The research, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, found that higher levels were found among humans that were women but in rats that were males. Their findings came after it was previously claimed that ladies speak about 20,000 words a dayover 13,000 more than men. “This study is one of the first to report a sex difference in the expression of a languageassociated protein in humans or animals，” said Prof Margaret McCarthy, who led the study. In their study, the researchers attempted to determine what might make male rats more vocal than their female friends.They separated fourdayold rats from their mothers and then counted the number of times they cried out in the “ultrasonic (超聲波的) range”， the frequencies higher than humans can hear, over five minutes. While both sexes called out hundreds of cries, the males called out twice as often，they found. But when the pups were returned to their mothers cage, she fussed_over her sons first. Tests conducted on the parts of the brain known to be associated with vocal calls showed the male pups have up to twice as much Foxp2 protein as the females. The researchers then increased the production in the brains of female pups and reduced it in males. This led to the female rats crying out more often and their mothers showing more interest to them. In contrast, males became less “talkative”The researchers then tested samples from ten children, aged between three and five, which showed that females had up to 30 percent more of the Foxp2 protein than males, in a brain area key to language in humans.“Based on our observations, we assume higher levels of Foxp2 in girls and higher levels of Foxp2 in male rats is an indication that Foxp2 protein levels are associated with the more municative sex，” said Prof McCarthy.“Our results imply Foxp2 as a ponent (成分)of the neurobiological basis of sex differences in vocal munication in mammals.”1From the second paragraph, we can learn that _.Awomen always speak more words than menBmen and male rats have low levels of language proteinCMcCarthy isnt the first to find females more talkativeDwomen and male rats have similar levels of Foxp22The underlined phrase “fussed over” in the third paragraph probably means _.Arelated toBpaid attention toCput pressure on Dcounted on3The researchers carried out the experiments on rats in order to _.Atest which part of the brain is key to language in rats and humansBprove the levels of Foxp2 protein in humans and rats are differentCdiscover the association between Foxp2 protein and vocal municationDdetermine the reason why female rats are more talkative than male rats4Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?AWhy women are the talkative sexBTests on humans and ratsCSex differences in Foxp2 proteinDFoxp2 protein determines oral ability答案與解析1C推理判斷題。從第二段中Their findings came after it was previously claimed that ladies speak about 20,000 words a day.可知C項(xiàng)正確。2B詞義猜測(cè)題。從畫(huà)線句句意可知B項(xiàng)正確。3C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第二段最后一句In their study, the researchers attempted to determine what might make male rats more vocal than their female friends.可知C項(xiàng)正確。4A標(biāo)題歸納題。從全文內(nèi)容可知A項(xiàng)正確。.完形填空It was Mothers Day and I was shopping at the local supermarket with my fiveyearold son, Tenyson.

He_7_to me, “Mom, its not much fun falling over in front of_8_.” Seeing that there was a flower stall(攤位) at the front of the supermarket, he added, “Why shouldnt we _9_ the lady a flower? It will make her feel better.” I was _10_ that hed e up with this _11_ idea. So we went over and told the flower seller _12_ we wanted. “Just take it，” she replied. “I _13_take your money for such a wonderful _14_.”By now medical staff had arrived, and were _15_the injured woman. We gave the flower to the womans husband and I told him it was _16_ my son. At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you very much.” He then turned to me, “You have a _17_ son. Happy Mothers Day to you.”The man bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. _18_ being badly hurt, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with _19_ in her eyes and gave him a little _20_.1A.leavingBdriving C.moving D.stopping2A.injured B.awkward C.honest D.elderly3A.Her husband B.My son CThe crowd D.The seller4A.Specifically BParticularly C.Interestingly D.Fortunately5A.If B.Since C.While D.Unless6A.guilty B.curious Cangry D.worried7Aplained B.said Clied D.responded 8A.no one B.someone C.everyone D.anyone 9A.lend B.bring C.leave D.buy 10A.amazed B.shocked C.puzzled D.concerned 11A.wise B.sweet C.innocent D.crazy12A.which B.when C.what D.whether13A.must not B.cant C.may not D.neednt 14A.scene B.habit Cflower D.deed 15A.checking with B.looking after C.operating on Dpraying for 16A.from B.to C.with D.about 17A.respectful B.cheerful Csuccessful Dwonderful18A.Out of B.Regardless of C.Thanks to DAs to 19A.love B.hope C.pity D.pain20A.idea B.money Csmile Dfort答案與解析本文為記敘文。作者通過(guò)敘述她的兒子在母親節(jié)這一天為一位受傷女士買(mǎi)花的故事，贊美了童心的純真和善良。1A首句交代了故事發(fā)生的背景：母親節(jié)作者和兒子在商店購(gòu)物。在要離開(kāi)時(shí)，“我們”想起了摔倒在地的那位女士。2D由第二段第一句中的“the elderly couple”可知，該空應(yīng)填 elderly(年邁的)。在這位女士摔倒之前，她并未受傷，故A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。awkward “笨拙的”； honest “誠(chéng)實(shí)的”，均不符合語(yǔ)境。3A根據(jù)第三段第二句中的“the womans husband”可知，在出事時(shí)，她的丈夫和她在一起。6空后的“the elderly couple”也有所提示。4D根據(jù)前文的描述“地上有血，老婦人驚魂未定”可知，當(dāng)時(shí)情形十分危急。因此“很多人停下來(lái)幫忙”對(duì)老婦人來(lái)說(shuō)是幸運(yùn)的。specifically “具體/確切地說(shuō)”； particularly “特別，尤其”； interestingly “有趣的是”，均不符合語(yǔ)境。5C句意：在我們朝現(xiàn)場(chǎng)走去的時(shí)候，Tenyson 十分擔(dān)心那對(duì)老夫婦的情況。while “在的時(shí)候”，表時(shí)間。6D由下句兒子對(duì)于在眾人面前摔倒的看法和給受傷女士買(mǎi)花的行為可知，兒子是“擔(dān)心”他們。7B逗號(hào)后為兒子對(duì)“我”說(shuō)的話語(yǔ)，故選B項(xiàng)。plain to sb.“向某人抱怨”；lie to sb.“對(duì)某人撒謊”；respond to sb.“給某人回復(fù)”，均不符合語(yǔ)境。8C由第一段最后一句“很多人前來(lái)幫忙”可知，這位受傷的女士是在“大家”面前摔倒的。9D由本段倒數(shù)第三句中的“the flower seller”可知，兒子是要給那位女士買(mǎi)花，故選D項(xiàng)。10A由上文內(nèi)容可知，兒子僅僅五歲，有這樣的想法，作者應(yīng)是感到“驚喜”。shocked “震驚的；害怕的”； puzzled “迷惑的”； concerned “關(guān)心的，掛念的”，均不符合語(yǔ)境。11BTenyson 為受傷的女士買(mǎi)花的行為是“美好的”，故選B項(xiàng)。wise “明智的”； sweet “美好的；令人愉快的”；innocent “天真的，無(wú)罪的”； crazy “瘋狂的”。12C空格處在句中引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句，且充當(dāng)從句中 wanted 的賓語(yǔ)，故排除B、D兩項(xiàng)。which 表示“哪一個(gè)”，不符合句意，故選C項(xiàng)。13B由上句“Just take it”可知，賣(mài)花人不想要“我”們的錢(qián)。由下文的“wonderful”可知，對(duì)于這樣的善舉，賣(mài)花人認(rèn)為“不能”收費(fèi)。14D“為傷者買(mǎi)花”是一種善意的行為，故選D項(xiàng)。15B醫(yī)務(wù)人員來(lái)到后應(yīng)是“照顧”傷者。C項(xiàng)“動(dòng)手術(shù)”應(yīng)在醫(yī)院進(jìn)行的，可排除。check with “核實(shí)；查明”；pray for.“為祈禱”，不合語(yǔ)境。故選B項(xiàng)。16A買(mǎi)花是源于兒子的想法；再者，從最后一段第一句中的“who it was from”也可看出此處應(yīng)填 from。17D由上文可知，老人對(duì) Tenyson 買(mǎi)花的行為十分感激，因此贊美作者有一個(gè)“好”兒子。respectful “表示敬意的；尊敬的”； cheerful “快樂(lè)的”； successful “成功的”。18B句意：不顧傷勢(shì)嚴(yán)重，老婦人抬起頭看著 Tenyson，眼里滿(mǎn)是愛(ài)意，對(duì)他笑了笑。逗號(hào)前后為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故選B項(xiàng)。out of “出于”； thanks to “多虧”； as to “至于”。19A兒子為受傷的女士買(mǎi)花，她眼里應(yīng)滿(mǎn)是“愛(ài)意”，故選A項(xiàng)。20C由本句中的 and 判斷，前后感情色彩一致。由此推知，老婦人應(yīng)是對(duì)兒子笑了笑。.語(yǔ)法填空(xx遼寧省實(shí)驗(yàn)中學(xué)月考)In recent years, learning Chinese _1_ bee popular among people around the world. Last month, I _2_(receive) an emial from my cousin Jack in Canada. He said he was enthusiastic about Chinas, and asked me to find me to find him some books _3_ (intend) for Chinese beginners.

Then I went to a post office to have them _7_ (deliver) by air without delay. Several days later, I received Jacks email, _8_(say) that he really appreciated the books I had sent. Im very glad that Jack is beginning to learn Chinese just like many other foreigners abroad, _9_ I know it may be an _10_ (enjoy) challenge for him.答案與解析近年來(lái)，學(xué)習(xí)漢語(yǔ)成了全世界很流行的事情。上個(gè)月，我遠(yuǎn)在加拿大的表弟寫(xiě)信讓我給他買(mǎi)漢語(yǔ)書(shū)籍，打算開(kāi)始學(xué)漢語(yǔ)。我轉(zhuǎn)了好多家書(shū)店才找到，然后給他寄了過(guò)去。盡管我知道那可能對(duì)他來(lái)說(shuō)是一個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)，但我真的很高興他開(kāi)始和其他外國(guó)人一樣學(xué)漢語(yǔ)了。1has根據(jù)前面時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)in recent years 判斷句子應(yīng)該用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，動(dòng)名詞作主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)形式。填has。2receivedLast month 是表示過(guò)去的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)用一般過(guò)去時(shí)，填received。3intended從結(jié)構(gòu)可知此處是形容詞短語(yǔ)做后置定語(yǔ)修飾名詞books, be intended for “為設(shè)計(jì)的，或者打算的”，填形容詞intended。4such根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容判斷“I”樂(lè)意幫這個(gè)忙，指上文提到買(mǎi)書(shū)的事情，填such。5another固定短語(yǔ)：from one.to another “從一個(gè)到另一個(gè)”，填another。句意：于是我從一家書(shū)店到另一家書(shū)店。6Finally根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容可知作者一家書(shū)店挨一家書(shū)店地去找書(shū)，所以此處表示終于，最終的意思，填Finally。7delivered此處是have賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)語(yǔ)，them 指代買(mǎi)到的書(shū)，和動(dòng)詞deliver 之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以填過(guò)去分詞delivered。8saying從結(jié)構(gòu)分析此處是分詞做狀語(yǔ)，表示伴隨情況。動(dòng)詞say和主語(yǔ)I之間是主動(dòng)關(guān)系，應(yīng)該用現(xiàn)在分詞，填saying。9although根據(jù)句意可知前后句內(nèi)容是讓步關(guān)系，填although。句意：盡管我知道那可能對(duì)他來(lái)說(shuō)是一個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)，但我真的很高興他開(kāi)始和其他外國(guó)人一樣學(xué)漢語(yǔ)了。10enjoyable形容詞作定語(yǔ)。enjoyable令人愉快的。.短文改錯(cuò)In recent years many flowers shops have been appeared in our small town. It is mon for people to buy flowers when they go to a gathering, visiting a sick friend, or attend a wedding. I still remember clear one day last year when Tom, disabled student, presented some flowers to his mother to express his gratitude to her. He owes his entire life to his mothers kind and care. With her he would not have had the confidence or the courage to fight her disability. As a result of the great effort what he had made, he was finally admitted to a key university.答案In recent years many shops have appeared in our small town.
