if so, how did human beings acquire this amazing skills? biologist can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms function, but this doesnt tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history.本文是介绍关于人类使用语言的能力的说明文, 阐述人区分动物的特殊能力及其相似性。a) 72. according to the passage, the wonder we take for granted is _.a. our ability to use languageb. the miracle of technologyc. the amazing power of natured. our ability to make noises with mouth解析：细节理解题。根据第一段倒数第二句话the universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noise without mouths, and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each others minds.可知: 我们把使用语言的能力这个奇迹当做理所当然。b, c选项与文章不符, 在第一段第二句话中可得知。d选项易误导学生, 在文章中虽然有原话, 但一句话没有说完, 关键是通过嘴巴发出的声音去给其他人传递信息。故d选项也是错误的。d) 73. what feature of “body language” mentioned in the passage is common to both human and animals?a. lifting heads when sad.b. keeping long faces when angry.c. bristling hair when ready to attack.d. bowing heads when willing to obey.解析：细节题。根据第三段最后一句话“similarly, the bowed head or drooping tail shows ”可知答案。a和b选项描绘的是人的肢体语言特征。c 选项描绘的是动物的肢体语言。d) 74. what can be inferred from paragraph 3?a. body language is unique to humans.b. animals express emotions just as humans do.c. humans have other powers of communication.d. humans are no different from animals to some degree.解析：推理判断题。根据第三段后三句话可知: 人类在某种程度上和动物没有不同。从段落中可得知a, b, c 均与文章不符。c) 75. this passage is mainly about _.a. the development of body language.b. the special role humans play in naturec. the power to convey information to othersd. the difference between humans and animals in language use解析：主旨大意题。整篇文章谈论的都是给他人传递信息的力量, 使用语言的能力。a, b选项文章未提及. d选项较片面, 文章第三段中提到了相似点和差异二种。did you know that womens brains are smaller than mens? the average womens brain weighs 10% less than mens. since research has shown that the bigger the brain, the cleverer the animal, men must be more intelligent(聪明的) than women. right? wrong. men and women always score similarly on intelligence tests, despite the difference in brain size. why? after years of study, researchers have concluded that its whats inside that matters, not just the size of the brain. the brain consists of “grey matter” and “white matter”. while men have more of the latter, the amount of “thinking” brain is almost exactly the same in both sexes.it has been suggested that smaller brain appears to work faster, perhaps because the two sides of the brain are better connected in women. this means that little girls tend to learn to speak earlier, and that women can understand sorts of information from different sources at the same time. when it comes to talking to the boss on the phone, cooking dinner and keeping an eye on the baby all at the same time, its women who come out on top every time. there are other important differences between two sexes. as white matter is the key to spatial(空间的) tasks, men know better where things are in relation to other things. “a great footballer always knows where he is in relation to the other players, and he knows where to go,” says one researcher. that may explain one of lifes great mysteries: why men refuse to ask for directions and women often need to! the differences begin when fetuses(胎儿) are about nine weeks old, which can be seen in the action of children as young as one. a boy would try to climb a barrier (障碍物) before him or push it down while a girl would attract help from others. these brain differences also explain the fact that more men take up jobs that require good spatial skills, while more women speech skills. it may all go back to our ancestors(祖先), among whom women needed speech skills to take care of their babies and men needed spatial skills to hunt, according to one research. if all this disappoints you, it shouldnt. “the brain changes throughout our lives according to what we do with it.” says a biologist.1. which of the following is true according to the first paragraph?
