【答案】56.C57.A58.D59.B

【导读】本文介绍了一项新研究，证明了信鸽可以通过精确的内部指南针和记忆的地标来回到它们的鸽舍，

即使是在它们上一次飞行的四年之后。研究人员使用GPS设备记录了信鸽的飞行路线，发现它们可以记住

路线，即使是几年前学习的路线。这表明信鸽的记忆力非常出色，可以保持多年。该项研究提供了新的证

据，可用于观察信鸽的记忆力。

【解析】

【56题详解】

词义理解题。根据上下文语境可知，研究人员研究的不仅是信鸽能够记住路线，还要求信鸽过了几年之后

仍然能够回忆起存储的信息。因此，在这里，"retrieve”的意思是"recover",表示恢复、取回的意思。所以答

案选C.recover.

【57题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章的第三段和第四段可知，信鸽在经过几年之后，依然能够回忆起之前学习的路线，

重新寻找回窝o所以答案选A.Pigeonsrememberspecificrouteshomeafteryearsaway.

[58题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章的第四段和第五段可知，2016年的实验是让鸽子在不同的社交环境中学习路线，并

且通过GPS设备记录飞行路径。选项A是错误的,JulienCollet只是研究的合著者之一,并非设计实验的人；

选项B是错误的，GPS设备是临时固定在鸟背上而非永久性的；选项C是错误的，实验并没有消除错过关

键地标的信鸽；选项D是正确的，实验中的信鸽是从投放点飞回归巢的。所以答案选D.Pigeonsweremade

toflyfromthereleasesitetotheirloftsseveraltimes.

【59题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，VernerBing-man教授认为研究结果并不令人惊讶，因为信鸽的记忆力是

非常出色的。他还表示，这项研究结果提供了信鸽了不起记忆力的新证据，使人类自负的智能观念与动物

的能力之间的距离缩小了一点。所以答案选B.Humansareblindedbysuperioritywhenitcomestoanimal

intelligence.

【答案】56-59ACCC

【解析】

【导读】这篇文章介绍了KatalinKariko和DrewWeissman的研究成果，他们发现了使mRNA发生轻微化学

变化的方法，并因此被授予诺贝尔生理学或医学奖。他们的研究为C0VID-19疫苗的开发做出了重要贡献。

[56题解析】

A.推理判断题。根据第2段最后一句话"Theirworkdefieddecadesofscientificdogma",意思是Kariko和

Weissman的研究挑战了几十年的科学信条。所以，他们的工作被认为是与传统观念相悖的。因此，选项A

"challenge"（挑战）是正确的。

[57题解析】

C.细节理解题。根据第2段的倒数第二句话"Theyhadfoundawaytochemicallymodifythelab-mademRNA",

意思是他们找到了一种方法，对实验室制造的mRNA进行化学修饰。因此，选项C"chemicallymodify"（化

学修饰）是正确的。

[58题解析】

C.细节理解题。根据最后一段的第一句话"BrianFerguson,CEOoftheuniversity'sFoundationforResearch

Development",意思是BrianFerguson是该大学研究发展基金会的首席执行官。接下来的句子"statedthat

KarikoandWeissman'sworkhadpreventedmillionsofdeaths,helpingtheworldrecoverfromitsworstpandemic

sincethelastcentury",意思是Ferguson说Kariko和Weissman的工作阻止了数百万人的死亡，帮助世界从自

上个世纪以来最严重的大流行病中恢复过来。因此，选项C"recognized"（被认可）是正确的。

[59题解析】

C.主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了Karik6和Weissman因其对C0VID-19疫苗开发的贡献而获得诺贝尔奖。

因此，选项C"NobelPrizeAwardedtoCOVID-19VaccinePioneers”（诺贝尔奖授予COVID-19疫苗先驱者）

是最适合的标题。

seedsaregluedtogethertoformapicture.（经过防腐和防虫处理后，谷物、草和蔬菜种子被粘在一起形成一幅

画）”可知，谷物和种子在被做成艺术品之前，经过一定的防腐处理后才结合在一起。故选B项。

【57题详解】

细节理解题。根据第七段中""Onlynow,whenfoodissufficient,canpeoplemakeapicturewithsurplusgrain,"he

says.（他说：“只有现在，当食物充足时，人们才能用剩余的粮食来描绘“）”可知，人们在粮食供应充足和

过量的情况下制作粮食画。故选C项。

【答案】36.B37.A38.B39.A

【解析】

【导语】本文是说明文。本文主要描述了加拿大鹅的特点及其在城市生活中的表现。

【36题详解】

推理判断题。文章第一段uCanadageeseareacommonandplentifulNorthAmericanbirdfoundinmanyurban

parks,golfcourses,airports,orareaswithlargelawnsnearwater.Theyarealargewaterbirdwithafairlybrownbody,

palebreast,andlongblackneckwithwhitecheeks.（加拿大鹅是一种常见的、数量丰富的北美鸟类，在许多城市

公园、高尔夫球场、机场或靠近水的大型草坪地区都能找到。它们是一种大型水鸟，有着深棕色的身体，

苍白的胸脯，长长的黑色脖子和白色的脸颊。）”和第二段的"Canadageeseareparticularlyattractedtourban

areasforthemanygrassylawnsnearsmallbodiesofwater.Theycanoftenbeseenfeedingonlawnsorplayingin

shallowwaterbytippingforwardandextendingtheirnecksunderwatertoreachforplants.（加拿大鹅特别喜欢城

市地区，因为小水域附近有许多草地。它们经常在草坪上觅食，或者在浅水区玩耍，它们会向前倾，把脖

子伸到水下去抓植物。）”提到，加拿大鹅经常出现在城市公园、高尔夫球场、机场或靠近水的大草坪等地

方，并且它们喜欢在靠近水的小草坪上觅食和玩耍。因此，可以得出它们喜欢在水边度过时间。故选B。

【37题详解】

词句猜狈!I题。前文“Urbanhabitatsarealsoattractivetothisspeciesasneatly-maintainedlawnsmakeiteasy（城市

的栖息地也对这个物种很有吸引力，因为整洁的草坪使it很容易生存）”和下文“tokeepwatchfor

approachingenemies（提防逼近的敌人）”以及it是形式宾语，真正的宾语是"tokeepwatchforapproaching

enemies"可推断，城市的栖息地因为整洁的草坪吸引加拿大鹅，因此推断，加拿大鹅靠在城市草坪上觅食，

这意味着它们吃草时也可以地方敌人，因此推断划线词与A项"以……为食”意思一致，表示与幼崽一起

吃草。故选A。

[38题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后——段的"AsCanadageesenumbersrise,sodotheirconflictswithhumans.Canadageese's

dailyactivitiesmaydamagegardensandlandscaping.Geesemayalsocrossroadswhensearchingforfoodor

walkingbetweennestingsitesandbodiesofwater,slowingmovementorposingapotentialriskontheroadway.（随

着加拿大鹅数量的增加，它们与人类的冲突也在增加。加拿大鹅的日常活动可能会破坏花园和景观。鹅在

寻找食物或在筑巢地和水域之间行走时也会穿过马路，这会减慢它们的移动速度或对道路构成潜在风险。）”

可知，随着加拿大鹅数量的增加，它们与人类的冲突也会增加。因此推断划线部分“Althoughdirectinjuries

fierce*eeseareuncommon,peoplesometimesfallandpickupinjurieswhensurprisedacharging（虽

然被凶猛的鹅直接伤害是罕见的，但人们有时会在被一只冲锋的鹅吓到时摔倒并受伤。）”说明加拿大鹅很

可能威胁着人类的安全。故选B。

[39题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的"Lastly,plane-birdconflictsareestimatedtoberising,likelyduetoincreasing

numbersofplanes,butalsoincreasesinpopulationsofcertainbirdspecies,includingCanadageese.Although

crashesrarelyresultinanaccident,theyoftencausecostlydamagetoplanes.（最后，飞机与鸟类的冲突估计正在

上升，可能是由于飞机数量的增加，但也包括加拿大鹅在内的某些鸟类种群的增加。虽然撞击很少导致事

故，但它们经常给飞机造成昂贵的损失。）”可知，空中鸟类与飞机的冲突可能会增加，但这主要是由于飞

机数量的增加以及某些鸟类（包括加拿大鹅）的种群数量增加所致。虽然空难很少发生，但它们通常会对飞机

造成昂贵的损失，根据aCanadageese'sdailyactivitiesmaydamagegardensandlandscaping.（加拿大鹅的日常

活动可能会破坏花园和景观。）”可知，数量过多也会影响城市景观。因此，频繁的空难不是日益增长的鹅

的数量造成的麻烦。故选A。
