41.D【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。报道了科学家对于人类能成为优秀跑步者的观点。【38题详解】段落大意题。由第二段“Butwhenitcomestolong-distancerunning,humanswilldoastonishinglywell.Theycankeepasteadypaceformanykilometres,andtheirspeedisatleastatthesamelevelwiththatofhorses.”可知，但是，当谈到长跑，人类将会做得惊人地好。他们可以稳定地跑许多公里，速度至少和马一样快。所以判断出，第二段主要告诉我们人类是长距离奔跑的好手。故B选项正确。【39题详解】推理判断题。由第三段“ThenthereareAchillestendonsatthebacksofourlegs,formingthemechanicallinksbetweenthemusclestothebones.Theyactlikestrongstringsandhelptopushusforwardwhenwerun.”可知，在我们的腿后面有跟腱，形成肌肉和骨骼之间的机械联系。当我们奔跑时，它们就像强大的琴弦，帮助我们前进。所以判断出第三段主要告诉我们肌腱使人类适于奔跑。故A选项正确。【40题详解】推理判断题。由第四段“Somescientistsguessthatearlyhumansmayhaverunafteranimalsforgreatdistancestomakethemtiredbeforekillingthem.Runningwouldalsohaveshownanotheradvantage:earlyhumansmighthaveeatenthemeatleftoverfromakillbyotherlargeanimals.Theymayhavebeenwarnedoftheexistenceofafreshlykilledanimalbyvultures(秃鹰),andthefastertheygottothesceneofthekill,thebetter.”可知，一些科学家猜测，早期的人类可能在捕杀动物之前，为了让它们疲劳而追逐了它们很远的距离。跑步也会显示出另一个优势：早期的人类可能吃其他大型动物捕杀时剩下的肉。他们可能被秃鹫警告有刚被杀死的动物，他们越快到达被杀死的地方越好。所以判断出对早期人类的结论是由于狩猎的需要，他们在奔跑方面有进化。故D选项正确。【41题详解】推理判断题。由最后段“Attheveryleast,Ihopethistheorywillmakemanypeoplehavesecondthoughtsabouthowhumanslearnedtorunandwhywearebuiltthewayweare.”可知，至少，我希望这个理论会让许多人重新思考人类是如何学会跑步的，以及为什么我们会以现在的身体结构出现。所以判断出划线句子的意思是让人们重新考虑我们的身体结构。故D选项正确。【点睛】在but，however，yet，otherwise，though这些表示意义转折的连词出现的句子中，其前后的语意有明显的转折关系，根据已知的内容，通过这转折关系，就很容易判断出段落所要表达的主要意思。由第二段可知，传统的观点认为，与马这样的动物在短距离奔跑时相比，人类是不善于奔跑的。但是通读全文我们可知，短文主要在介绍帮助人类能够进行长距离奔跑的因素有哪些，所以传统观点所认为的不是主要内容。所以通过对“Butwhenitcomestolong-distancerunning,humanswilldoastonishinglywell.Theycankeepasteadypaceformanykilometres,andtheirspeedisatleastatthesamelevelwiththatofhorses.”这样的转折句，判断出but之后的句子才是本段的段落大意题。再通过对but之后句子的总结概括，故推断出人类是长跑的好手。故第1小题的正确答案为B选项。19.Bookstoresareatraveller'sbestfriend:theyprovideconvenientshelterinbadweather,andtheyoftenhostreadingsandotherculturalevents.Hereisalookatworld’ssixgreatestbookstores.AdrianHarrington—since1971.Rarebooks;rarefirsteditions;leatherboundsetsandgeneralantiquarian(古玩).Address:64AKensingtonChurchStreet,Kensington,London,England,U.K.AnotherCountry—Kreuzberg,Berlin,Germany.AnotherCountryisanEnglishLanguagesecondhandbookshopwhichismostlyusedasalibrary.Theyhaveabout20,000booksthatyoucanbuyorborrow.Someregulareventsareheldattheshop,suchasreadings,culturalevents,socialeveningsandfilmnights.AtlantisBooks—Oía,Santorini,Greece.AtlantisBooksisanindependentbookshopontheislandofSantorini,Greece,foundedin2004byagroupoffriendsfromCyprus,England,andtheUnitedStates.Throughoutt
