mattew oneill at the university of arizona college of medicine in phoenix. yet his teams experiments and computer models show that a chimpanzees muscle is only about a third stronger than a human of the same size.this result matches well with the few tests that have been done, which suggest that when it comes to pulling and jumping, chimps are about 1.5 times as strong as humans owing to their muscular bodies. “but because people participating in these tests are lighter than the average person, humans can actually outperform chimpanzees in absolute terms，” says oneill.his findings suggest that other apes have similar muscle strength to chinpanzees, “human are the odd ones，” he says.oneills team has been studying the evolution of upright walking. to create an accurate computer model of how chimps walk, the researchers needed to find out whether their muscles really are much stronger. so they removed small samples of leg muscle from three chimps and measured the strength of individual fibers(纤维)。the same procedure was used to study human muscles. comparing the results with the many studies on those showed that contrary to the claims of several other studies, there is nothing special about chimp muscle. “chimpanzees muscle is really no different than human muscle in terms of the force that individual fibers use，” says oneill.so why, on a poundforpound basis, are chimps slightly stronger than humans? the team went on to look at the muscle of chimps that had died of natural causes, which showed that twothirds of their muscle is made of fast twitch fibers, whereas more than half of human fibers are slow twitch. fast twitch fibers are more powerful, but use more energy and become tired faster.another factor, oneill found, is that chimps have longer fibers on average, which also improves their strength.this adds to the evidence that walking uses far more energy for chimps than for people. the results fit well with the idea that early humans evolved to walk or run long distances. it seems that we gave up some strength for greater endurance (耐力)8what does oneill mean by saying “humans are the odd ones”？ahumans are better at jumping and pulling things than chimps.bhumansmuscle strength is different from that of apes.chumans are heavier and stronger than chimpanzees.dthere is nothing special about human muscles.9what contributes a lot to the strength of chimp muscles?athe evolution of upright walking.bthe slowtwitch fibers in their muscles.cmost of their muscles being made of short fibers.dthe fasttwitch fibers in their muscles.10what can we infer from the text?ashort twitch fibers provide more energy for the muscle.bearly humans needed much more energy than chimps.chuman muscles are more suited to long distance running.dslow twitch fibers help chimps survive in the wild.11what can we conclude from the passage?achimpanzees have much stronger muscles than humans.bchimpanzees are lighter than humans.cchimp muscle is almost the same as humans.dhumans cant walk as long as chimpanzees.阅读七选五2020河南省高考适应性测试pay more, and you will get unexpected resultsgive what you can.you clean out your closets(壁橱), right?

corners部分尾句“on your way, take in such sights as the monument valley and the mysterious remains of centuriesold civilizations in colorados mesa verde”可知，在科罗拉多州的梅萨维德国家公园可以体验古老的文明。故c项正确。2b考查细节理解。根据find beauty in the desert部分的“the most impressive desert views are in the namibnaukluft national park to the south”可知，在纳米比亚自驾游可以欣赏到令人印象深刻的沙漠景观，故b项正确。3a考查推理判断。根据第一部分第二段第一句中的“the lonely desert road”，第二部分第一句中的“excellent roads”，第三部分第二句中的“a road”，第四部分标题take the high road，并结合全文其他内容可推知，这些旅行都提供令人惊叹的公路冒险，故a项正确。词汇积累：take sth. in 去看；注意到；理解，吸入take sth. on

turn too fast, i hit a patch of dirt and fishtailed(摆尾行驶)”可知，由于“我”转弯太快，撞上一个土堆，汽车摆尾行驶，导致事故发生。故选b。干扰项分析：c项“hitting a patch of dirt”的干扰性比较大。此处问的是事故发生的原因，而撞上一个土堆，汽车摆尾行驶是转弯太快的结果，故排除c项。5b考查推理判断。根据倒数第四段和倒数第二段的内容尤其是倒数第二段中的“i forgive you. hannah will too”可知，“我”的行为给hannah造成了巨大的伤害，而hannah的妈妈却体谅“我”并安慰、原谅了“我”，由此可推知她是宽宏大量的。6c考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“that summer she signed with a modeling agency. she was already doing runway work”和第四段中的“the end of her modeling career”可知，因为那次事故hannah不能再继续她的模特生涯，故c项正确。7d考查标题判断。本文主要讲了由于“我”开车时转弯太快而导致了一场车祸，致使“我”的朋友hannah不能再从事刚刚起步的模特事业。但是，hannah的妈妈原谅了“我”，“我”和hannah的友谊从而得以持续，这也让“我”学会了原谅别人，故选d。【语篇解读】本文介绍了科学家通过研究了解到黑猩猩的肌肉与人类的肌肉构成的异同。(outperform vt.超过；胜过fast twitch/slow twitch fibers快/慢缩肌纤维)【长难句分析】the team went on to look at the muscle of chimps that had died of natural causes, which showed that twothirds of their muscle is made of fast twitch fibers, whereas more than half of human fibers are slow twitch.句式分析：本句是一个主从复合句，主句为the team went on to look at the muscle of chimps; that had died of natural causes为that引导的定语从句，修饰chimps; which引导的非限制性定语从句修饰前面半句话，在该非限制性定语从句中，that引导的从句作show的宾语。句意：这个团队继续研究了一些自然死亡的黑猩猩的肌肉，该研究表明，在黑猩猩的肌肉中，有三分之二为快肌纤维，而人类肌肉中有一半多是慢肌纤维。8b考查细节
