【答案】8.B9.A10.D11.D

【解析】

【分析】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了鸟类和人类一样，依赖声音进行交流，通过产生各种各样的声音来传达不同的情感。

【8题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句“Often,birdsrecognizetheirmates(oryoung)bysoundratherthansight.(鸟类通常是通过声音而不是视觉来识别它们的配偶或幼鸟。)”可知，鸟类是通过聆听声音来辨别自己的配偶。故选B项。

【9题详解】

推理判断题。根据第五段所举的事例“Researcherscarriedoutanexperimentinwhichamalebullfinch(灰雀)wasraisedbyafemalecanary(金丝雀).Thebullfinchsoonlearnedthecanary'ssongandwhenitwaslatermatedtoafemalebullfinch,Mr.Bullfinchtaughthischildrenthecanary'ssongs.(研究人员进行了一项实验，一只雄性灰雀被一只雌性金丝雀养大。灰雀很快就学会了金丝雀的鸣叫声，后来当它与一只雌灰雀交配时，灰雀先生就教会了它的孩子们金丝雀的鸣叫声。)”可知，在金丝雀的抚养下，灰雀学会了金丝雀的叫声。学会金丝雀叫声的灰雀的孩子们，在父亲的照顾下也学会了金丝雀的叫声。由此推知，幼鸟从与它们生活在一起的鸟类那里学会鸣叫。故选A项。

【10题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Birdscouldhardlyhearoneanother,overthetrafficnoise,asaresult,insteadofcopyingthesweetnotesoftheadults,youngbirdswerecopyingthesoundstheyheardmostoften,namelycarhornsandbeepingcellphones!(在交通的嘈杂声中，鸟儿几乎听不到彼此的声音；结果，幼鸟没有模仿成年鸟的甜美音符，而是模仿它们最常听到的声音，即汽车的喇叭声和手机的哔哔声！)”可知，幼鸟在城市噪音的影响之下，学习不到成年鸟的叫声，而是学习了城市里的噪音。由此推知，城市的噪音给鸟类带来了许多麻烦。故选D项。

【11题详解】

推理判断题。通读全文并根据第一段“Justlikehumans,birdstoorelyonsoundtocommunicate.However,theydonothavea“language”inthetruesenseofthewordandinsteadproduceavarietyofsoundstoconveydifferentemotions.（就像人类一样，鸟类也依靠声音来交流。然而，它们没有一个“语言”的真正意义上的词，而是产生各种各样的声音，以传达不同的情感。）”可知，文章主要是向读者解释鸣禽是如何相互交流的，是用声音。故选D项。

【答案】12.B13.C14.A15.A

【解析】

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了网络视频这个媒体新王者，以及网络视频受欢迎的原因。

【12题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Watchingvideosrequireslesseffortandenergythanreadingthroughparagraphsoftextafteradayofhardwork.（在一天的辛苦工作后，看视频比阅读一段一段的文本需要更少的精力和能量。）”可知，观看视频比阅读文字要轻松，人们经过一天的疲惫工作后，更愿意观看网络视频，即有些人下班后更喜欢看视频而不是阅读是因为它帮助他们相对容易地获得信息。故选B项。

【13题详解】

词句猜测题。根据划线词所在的句子“High-poweredsmartphonesandmoreaffordablevideocamerasallowanyonetoeasilyrecordaneventorgiveafewcommentsaboutascorchingtopicthatisontheirmind.（高性能的智能手机和更实惠的摄像头让任何人都可以轻松地记录下一个事件，或者对他们心中的scorching话题发表一些评论。）”可知，人们对某个话题很关心并想要发表评论，说明这话题很热门，“scorching”是热门的意思。故选C项。

【14题详解】

细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Infact,newsoftwareallowsthemtowatchviewers'emotionalreactionstotheircontentthroughtheusers'webcams.（事实上，新软件允许他们通过用户的网络摄像头观察观众对其内容的情绪反应。）”和“sotheycanadjusttheirads.（所以他们可以调整他们的广告。）”可知，新的软件可以利用用户的网络摄像头监控访问者对视频内容的反馈情况，公司可以更加精准地知道人们的喜好，制作出更有竞争力的视频。故选A项。

【15题详解】

主旨大意题。文章第一段“Althoughalloftheseinformationsourcesremainpopular,there'sanewkingofmediaandit'sonlinevideo.（尽管所有这些信息来源仍然很受欢迎，但有一个新的媒体之王，那就是网络视频。）”指出网络视频是新媒体中的佼佼者，后面几段又给出了网络视频受欢迎的原因，所以整篇文章都介绍了网络视频这个媒体中的新王者，A选项“网络视频：新媒体之王”最适合作文章标题。故选A项。

【答案】16.D17.A18.F19.G20.C

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何去面试给出了四条建议，并解释了为什么这样做。

【16题详解】

空格前的句子“Stressconsumesmuchenergy.（压力消耗很多能量）”是说压力会消耗你的能量，所以空格处的句子肯定是建议你不要带着压力去面试，所以D项“Thelastthingyouneedistopanicandrusharound.（你最不需要的就是恐慌和慌张）”填入空格处和上一句是顺接关系，怎样才能避免恐慌和慌张呢？空格后的句子“Makesurethatyouallowplentyoftimetogetyourselfready,andtraveltotheplacewhereyourinterviewisbeingheld.（确保你有足够的时间准备，并前往面试地点）”又接着给出了建议。所以D项填入空格处，符合题意。故选D项。

【17题详解】

该部分的主题句“Keepthingsasnormalandcalmaspossible.（尽量保持正常和平静）”和空格后的句子“Shower,dressandhavebreakfastinthenormalway.（按正常的方式洗澡、穿衣、吃早餐）”是建议面试前按正常的方式和节奏做事；空格处的句子也应该和此内容有关，所以A项“Startyourdayasyouusuallydo.（像往常一样开始新的一天）”填入空格处和下文是顺接关系。故选A项。

【18题详解】

空格前的句子“Ifyouwanttohaveabrieflookatyourapplication,that’sOK.Butkeepitwithintenminutes.（如果您想简单地看一下您的申请，这是可以的。但是要控制在十分钟之内）”告诉你如果想看申请的话，要控制在十分钟以内，为什么呢？空格处的句子应该给以解释，而F项“Spendingtoomuchtimeonitwillcauseyoustressandwasteyourenergy.（花太多时间在上面会给你带来压力，浪费你的精力）”正是对这个的解释。故选F项。

【19题详解】

空格前的句子“Ifit’salongdrive,thedrivingwilltireyouout.（如果要开很长时间的车，开车会让你筋疲力尽）”是说自己开车去面试的弊端，那么空格处的句子应该接着说让人开车送你去的好处，所以，G项“Moreover,havingsomeonetotalktoonthewaywilltakeyourmindofftheinterview.（此外，在路上找个人聊聊天会让你不去想面试的事）”填入空格处和上文是顺接关系；同时和下一句“However,don’tgetthepersontoaskyoupretendedinterviewquestions,whichwillstressyououtanduseupyourvaluableenergy.（然而，不要让他假装问你面试问题，这会让你感到压力，耗尽你宝贵的精力）”形成转折关系。故选G项。

【20题详解】

空格处是该部分的主题句，下文的句子“Takeasnackandeatit10-15minutesbeforeyourinterview.Ifyourstomachisempty,you’llbedisturbedandwon’thavetheenergytoconcentrateonthewholeinterview.（在面试前10-15分钟吃点零食。如果你的胃是空的，你会感到不安，没有精力集中在整个面试中）”建议在面试前吃点东西补充能量，并解释为什么这么做。所以空格处的句子肯定与增加和保持能量有关。所以C项“Addandpreserveyourenergyintheinterviewspot.（在面试现场增加并保持你的能量）”填入空格处，符合题意。故选C项。

第二部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分)

第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分)
