doing.意為“忙于”，為固定搭配；be likely to do.意為“可能做”；be ready to。30A.focus Bgather Creach

DFinally答案C考查語境。此處是上述實(shí)驗(yàn)所得出的一個(gè)結(jié)論。32A.recognizing BwatchingCnoticing Dcounting答案C考查上下文的語境。根據(jù)此處的語境可知，此處是指不管我們有沒有注意時(shí)間，時(shí)間都在流逝。33A.enough Bfull Cright Dproper答案B考查語境與形容詞的辨析。right和proper意為“正確的，恰當(dāng)?shù)摹?，同義，可排除；enough意為“足夠的”，上下文沒有相應(yīng)的語境，可排除；full意為“最大量的，盡量多的”，符合語境。如果大腦不太活躍的話，就會(huì)把大量的精力集中在計(jì)算時(shí)間的流逝上。34A.In fact BAs a resultCFor example DInstead of答案B考查上下文的語境。本句是根據(jù)前面的分析得出的結(jié)論。35A.in class Bwith workCin mind Dof

conclusion that the African elephant is divided into two distinct (不同的 )species.The discovery was made by researchers at York and Harvard University when they were examing the genetic relationship between the ancient woolly mammoth and mastodon modern elephantsthe Asian elephant, African forest elephant, and African savanna elephant.Once they obtained DNA sequences(序列)from two fossils(化石)，mammoths and mastodons, the team compated them with DNA from modern elephants. They found their amazement that modern forest and savanna elephants are as distinct from each other as Asian elephants and mammoths.The scientists used detailed genetic analysis to prove that the African savanna elephant and the African forest elephant have been distinct species for several million years. The_divergence of the two species took place around the time of the divergence of Asian elephants and woolly mammoths. This result amazed all the scientists.There has long been debate in the scientific community that the two might be separate species, 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 savanna elephant has an average shoulder height of 3.5 metres while the forest elephant has an average shoulder double the weight of the forest elephant. But the fact that they look so different does not necessarily mean they are different species. However，the proof lay in the analysis of the DNA.Alfried 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 difficult units for conservation purpose. Since 1950, all African elephants have been conserved as one species. Now that we know the forest and savanna elephants have been distinct animals, the forest elephant should become a bigger priority(優(yōu)先)for conservation purposes.”【解題導(dǎo)語】 本文為說明文。最近的一項(xiàng)研究表明非洲大象被分為兩種截然不同的物種。36One of the fossils studied by the researchers is that of _.Athe Asian elephantBthe forest elephantCthe savanna elephantDthe mastodon elephant答案D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的第一句Once they obtained DNA sequences(序列)from two fossils(化石)，mammoths and mastodons.可知答案為D。37The underlined word “divergence” in Paragraph 4 means“_”Aevolution BexhibitionCseparation Dexamination答案C詞義猜測(cè)題。前面一句講到了這兩種大象分離成不同的物種已有數(shù)百萬年了，由此可判斷divergence在此是“分離”之意。38The researchers conclusion was based on a study of the African elephants_.ADNA BheightCweight Dpopulation答案A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的最后一句可知研究人員的結(jié)論是在檢測(cè)非洲大象DNA的基礎(chǔ)上得出來的。39What are Alfred Rocas words mainly about?AThe conservation of African elephant.BThe purpose of studying African elephant.CThe way to divide African elephants into two units.DThe reason for the distinction of African elephants.答案A推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的內(nèi)容可知Alfred Roca的話主要講的是對(duì)不同的非洲大象要分別采取不同的保護(hù)措施。40Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?ANaturalist Beliefs about ElephantsBAmazing Experiments about ElephantsCAn Unexpected Finding about ElephantsDA Long Scientific Debate about Elephants答案C主旨大意題。根據(jù)本文的主題句(第一段)可知選C。寫作素材集錦單詞break間歇，休息句子It is thought that if the brain is busy focusing on many aspects of a task，it has to spread its resources，and pays less attention to the clock.據(jù)說如果人的大腦總忙于集中在一個(gè)任務(wù)的多個(gè)方面，它就不得不分散它的資源，這樣對(duì)時(shí)間的關(guān)注就變少了。 8
