25、】_but to dosee the world, read the local paper and not get【C20】_.（分数：40.00）(1).【C1】（分数：2.00）A.fluidB.fluent C.smoothD.flowing解析：解析：此处是对上一句的举例，因此空格所处的词与本句要表达“Giuseppe 可以讲 50 多种语言”之意，fluent 指“(言语等)流利的”，符合语境。(2).【C2】（分数：2.00）A.strengthB.reactionsC.abilities D.knowledge解析：解析：根据上文 was said to(据说)，可知此处应为母

26、语者测试他这种“能力”，故用 C 项abilities“能力”。(3).【C3】（分数：2.00）A.anotherB.one anotherC.the otherD.other 解析：解析：此处指 Michael 调查了 Mezzofanti 和其他语言天才，D 项 other 意为“其他的”，符合要求。(4).【C4】（分数：2.00）A.Early B.LaterC.FurtherD.Shortly解析：解析：空格前提到 Erard 对 Giuseppe Mezzofanti 做了调查，而空格后的“Erard 提出问题：如何才算真正懂一门语言”显然是他调查的动机。从逻辑上看，先有动机，后

27、才会调查，A 项 early 代入空格，early on“早先”符合逻辑。(5).【C5】（分数：2.00）A.willB.mightC.should D.must解析：解析：根据后文的 but rather(而是)可知，这里指这个问题“不应该是”，故 C 项 should 正确。(6).【C6】（分数：2.00）A.prominentB.majorC.subtle D.basic解析：解析：本句说到理解文化差异需要与说这一语言的人广泛接触，即文化差异是不易理解的，四个选项中，对应“不易理解的”是 C 项 subtle“微妙的”。(7).【C7】（分数：2.00）A.directB.conti

28、nuous C.activeD.exclusive解析：解析：根据本段结尾处的“没有人能生活在超过四五种语言的环境中”推断，了解语言差异是很难的，因此要了解语言差异，需要“连续”与本地人接触，故选 B 项 continuous“连续的”。(8).【C8】（分数：2.00）A.deniesB.countersC.doubts D.debates解析：解析：此处 that reason 指代上文所说的理解文化差异，需要与本地人广泛和连续地接触，而空格后从句的内容为“任何人能在超过四五种语言的环境中生活”由此可知 Kramsch 对此是怀疑的(doubts)。(9).【C9】（分数：2.00）A.b

29、ut B.becauseC.andD.or解析：解析：此处需要填入逻辑连词，空格前的 Fair enough 总结了上文 Kramsch 的看法(人们没法生活在多门语言中)是有道理的，空格后提到人们在学习新的语言时表现出了的惊人记忆力和计算本领。上下文之间是转折关系。故填入 A 项 but(10).【C10】（分数：2.00）A.give upB.pick up C.make upD.set up解析：解析：根据空格前的 memory(记忆力)，可推断此处是指学习语言，故选 B 项 pick up“学会(技能、语言)”，与空格后的 language 搭配。(11).【C11】（分数：2.00）

30、A.answeredB.tackledC.neglected D.rejected解析：解析：空格前的 for no good reason“无缘无故地”以及后文 why not linguistic geniuses 表明关于语言的研究没有进行，故这个问题被科学界“忽视”了，故选 C 项 neglected。(12).【C12】（分数：2.00）A.phenomenaB.contributionsC.successesD.talents 解析：解析：本句包含并列的两个分句，前后比照，可知道 extraordinaryin mathematicsand music 应与后文的 linguist

41、boost 的形容词。此处应与不经常待在母亲身边的公猴进行比较，因此 C 项 added“更多的”最合适。(3).【C3】（分数：2.00）A.advertisedB.establishedC.illustratedD.published 解析：解析：空格前的主语为“这项发现”，空格后为“在美国国家科学院学报上”。因此可推断空格处为“发表，公布”含义的词，故选 D 项 published“发表”。(4).【C4】（分数：2.00）A.species B.areaC.periodD.form解析：解析：上文提到的“绒毛蜘蛛母猴”是某种“种类”的雌性，故选 A 项 species“物种”。(5).

43、.storyC.concept D.place解析：解析：空格所在处为 the so-called grandmother hypothesis(所谓的祖母假说)的同位语，因此空格处的词应跟 hypothesis(假说)呼应，“假说”也就是一种“观念”，故选 C 项 concept“观念”。(8).【C8】（分数：2.00）A.raisingB.rearingC.producingD.helping 解析：解析：上文的研究成果说雌性对雄性后代的繁殖发挥着关键作用，选项中最适合的是 D 项helping“帮助”。(9).【C9】（分数：2.00）A.collected B.deletedC.as

44、sembledD.stored解析：解析：空格所在句的主语为 The research team(研究小组)，此处需填入与 observed(观察)并列的谓语动词，宾语是 data(数据)，结合下文的 They found 可知该词表示做研究的方法，符合逻辑的为 A 项collected“收集”。(10).【C10】（分数：2.00）A.infantB.adolescentC.adult D.old解析：解析：这个研究是针对公猴找配偶的多少进行的，因此研究的是“成年的”雄性，故 C 项 adult 正确。(11).【C11】（分数：2.00）A.average B.occasionC.purp

45、oseD.balance解析：解析：上文提到“经常待在母亲身边的公猴在交配季节能得到一些优势”，因此可推断这 6 只待在母亲身边更长时间的猴子在交配季节有优势，即总体上，会繁殖更多后代，能表达总体情况的是 A 项 on average“平均来看”。(12).【C12】（分数：2.00）A.sonsB.daughtersC.offspring D.descendant解析：解析：由空格前的 reproduced(繁殖)可知本题选 C 项 offspring“子女”。(13).【C13】（分数：2.00）A.put outB.take outC.figure out D.draw out解析：解析

47、提及与母亲经常在一起的公猴在交配季(mating time)更能得到异性的青睐，与mating 相呼应的是 A 项 sexually，表示它们知道母猴什么时候处于“性”活跃期。(16).【C16】（分数：2.00）A.monkeysB.females C.malesD.animals解析：解析：此处分析常与母亲待在一起的公猴更能得到异性青睐的第二个原因。公猴是 male，母亲是female，因此空格应填入 B 项 females，表示它们对其他“女性”更熟悉。(17).【C17】（分数：2.00）A.interfereB.varyC.dealD.help 解析：解析：The findings 指上文的“与母亲在一起的猴子后代更多”，毫无疑问，可以利用这个发现促进动物的繁殖，因此可推断该发现对未来的动物保护工作有积极作用，故选 D 项，help with 表示“有助于”。(18).【C18】（分数：2.00）A.threatened B.diseasedC.importantD.injured解析：解析：空格前提到 conservation“保护”，结合本文说繁殖后代的话题，可知这里应指极度濒危的动物，故填入 A 项 threatened“受到威胁的”。(19).【C19】（分数：2.00）A.onlyB.f
