2、y at Tilburg University, in the Netherlands,has studied crying.According to Vingerhoets, therere three types of tears. Basal tears are the first type. They act as a protective barrier between the eye and the rest of the world.Next are reflex tears. They wash your eyes clean when something gets in th

3、em. Finally, therere emotional tears. “These are released in response to emotional states,” explains Vingerhoets. Scientists believe crying has something to do with how humans developed and learned to depend on each other. “Humans are very complex social creatures,” says Lauren Bylsma, a professor f

4、rom Pittsburgh University, in Pennsylvania. “It seems that tears can make them get help and support from others.” She says another reason why we weep is that humans have the longest developmental period of almost any animal. It takes a long time to grow up. Vingerhoets agrees. “I think that the reas

5、on why humans shed(流出)emotional tears has to do with our prolonged(延长的) childhood,” he says. “Thats the time when were still dependent on adults for love,protection and care. The major advantage of tears is that you can target them at a specific person.” Vingerhoets says this ability could have come

6、 in handy in prehistoric times, when humans were living among dangerous animals. Loud crying could attract predators(捕食者).

7、and why humans cry.1.The tears mentioned in Paragraph 1 should belong to _.A.basal tearsB.reflex tearsC.happy tearsD.emotional tears2.What is Vingerhoets attitude to the effects of tears?A.Passive.B.Positive.C.Doubtful.D.Indifferent.3.The underlined phrase of “a silent signal” probably refers to _.A

9、出,第一段提到的泪水属于emotional tears。2.态度判断题。根据倒数第二段可知其实文中这两位科学都认为泪水有好处,即积极看待眼泪。3.词义猜测题。根据文中划线前Tears were a safer way to get attention.的叙述可知,在这种情况下(在史前时期人类大声哭泣会引来危险的动物),最好用这种“无声的信号”来寻求帮助。因此这种无声的信号就是前面所指的“眼泪”。4.标题归纳题。文章从科学研究的角度对眼泪的种类、哭的原因等做了科学的分析,揭示了眼泪不为人知的秘密。故该项用作文章的标题最佳。二、单句语法填空1(2017北京高考)Samuel, the talles

21、ent Dcompromise【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。一场重病让作者明白了什么是人生中最重要的东西。因此他对自己当下所拥有的倍加珍惜，并心存感激。1B根据上文中的“Ten years ago, a doctor told me something was wrong with my lung and I had to give up work at once and went to bed”可知，当被告知自己的肺部出了问题且不得不立即放弃工作卧床休息时作者感到非常震惊(shocked)。confused“困惑的”； annoyed“恼怒的”。2C作者突然觉得自己好像是被判了死缓一样。

22、根据语境尤其是下文的“with an indefinite reprieve(缓刑)”可知，此处应选sentence“宣判，判刑”。under sentence of death“被判处死刑”。3D仔细思考之后，作者把手头的事务处理掉，然后回家了。根据上文中的“I had to give up work at once and went to bed”可知，clear up“解决，清理”符合语境。make up“组成，编造”；set up“设立”；take up“开始从事，占据”。4B两年后，作者离开了病床，开始(began)了漫长的重回之前的生活状态的“攀登”。recall“回忆起”；avo

23、id“避免”；accept“接受”。5D过了一年，作者就做到了。It was/is一段时间before.是固定句型，意为“过了才/就”。6B作者谈及这段经历是因为那些过去的岁月教会(taught)了作者应该珍惜什么，相信什么。assign“分配，分派”；treat“招待”；assure“使确信”。7D现在作者意识到(realize)这个世界不是等待他去打开的牡蛎，而是需要他去抓住的机会。admit“承认”；expect“期待，期望”。8B参见上题解析。grasp the opportunity“抓住机会”，是固定搭配。knowledge“知识”；attention“注意力”；point“观点”

24、。9D作者也学会了欣赏(appreciate)那些不起眼的但却很重要的东西，而作者之前从未想过自己会去注意这些东西。dismiss“不予理会，不予考虑”；list“列举”； define“给下定义，解释”。10. A参见上题解析。notice“注意到”；record“记录”；remember“记得”；track“跟踪”。11C根据上文中的“the music of the wind in my favorite pine tree”和下文中的“I seem nowto hear and see”可知，此处指的应是作者以前不会注意到的东西。play“轻快变幻的动作，闪烁”，the play of

25、 sunlight on water“阳光在水面上的闪烁”。12B作者重新找回了童年时期看待事物的新鲜感。recovered“重新获得的，重新找到的”，符合语境。13C比如，回想起自己卧床两年后重新踏上这片土地的感觉有多好。for instance“比如，例如”，符合语境。in contrast“相反”；in return“作为回报”；by chance“偶然地”。14B这就像在一个差点失去的世界中重新获得公民身份一样。regain“重新得到”和下文的“lost”相对应。maintain“维持”；discover“发现”；forget“忘记”。15A作者经常提醒自己要记下这个自己现在生活的时刻

26、，因为活在此刻，作者是健康且快乐的，而且能做自己最喜欢做的事情。remind“提醒”，符合语境。promise“许诺，允诺”；convince“使相信”。16B参见上题解析。moment“时刻”；inspiration“灵感”。17A参见第15题解析。pleased“快乐的，高兴的”；courageous“勇敢的”；confident“自信的”；strong“坚强的”。下文中的“Im wiser now，a little，and happier”亦是提示。18D它不会总是如这般存在，因此作者会充分利用它并心存感激。上下文之间是因果关系，故用therefore。meanwhile“与此同时”；o

27、therwise“否则”；however“然而”。19B作者将这一切都归功于他卧病在床的那段漫长时光。owe.to.“把归功于”，是固定用法。20A更有智慧的人无需被困到如此境地也能明白这些道理。awareness“意识，明白”符合语境。compromise“妥协”。四、单句改错1The festival of Halloween had its origin as an event in the memory of the dead._答案：去掉memory前的thein memory of “为了纪念”。2Dont worry. Im sure your missing glasses w

28、ill turn out sooner or later._答案：outupturn up “出现；露面”。turn out “证明是；结果是”。3Its possible to hold your breathe for two minutes in practice._答案：breathebreathbreathe是动词，意为“呼吸”，breath是名词，hold ones breath意为“屏住呼吸”。4The Internet gives people the chance to have the information they look forward to delivering

29、to them quickly and cheaply._答案：deliveringdelivered句中“they look forward to”是定语从句，先行词是information。have the information delivered “传递/发送信息”。5Word came the president would be shown around our school._答案：came后加thatWord came that . “消息传来说”。that引导的是同位语从句，虽无意义但是不能省略。五、七选五Learning another language is an exc
