一个安静的敌人，”爱尔兰梅努斯大学的真菌研究员OzgurBayram说，因为大多数人不会注

好的开端，但试图理解如何将其用于农业目的仍将是一个挑战。食品安全专家FeliciaWu表

示：“这项技术很难应用，而且让美国监管机构批准在主要粮食作物上使用转基因真菌可能

在的挑战的方法。

——★参考答案★——16.D17.B18.C19.G20.A

【16题详析】

根据上文“"Manisbynatureasocialanimal,“thefamousGreekphilosopherAristotlewrotemore

than2,000yearsago.Fromthetimeyouenterthisworld,youstartcommunicating.Yourfirstcryis

yourfirstattemptatverbal（口头的）communication.Andasyoustartgrowing,youfindnewer

waysofcommunication.Youlearntoformwordsandsentencestocommunicate.（2000多年前，

希腊著名哲学家亚里士多德写道:“人是天生的社会性动物。”从你进入这个世界的那一刻起，

你就开始交流了。你的第一次哭泣是你第一次尝试用语言交流。当你开始成长时，你会发现

新的交流方式。你学会组织单词和句子来交流）”可知，此空设于段尾，起到承接上文作用，

该项中的This指代上一句内容，该项说明了“人们学习组词造句来交流，这是真正意义上的

口头交际的开始故D选项“这是真正意义上的语言交流的开始”符合语境，故选D。

【17题详析】

根据上文“Verbalcommunicationmeanseffectivelypresentingyourthoughtsverbally.（口头交流

是指用语言有效地表达你的想法）”以及下文"Beitaweeklymeetingorapresentationto

stakeholders（股东），theimportanceofverbalcommunicationisunparalleled.Peoplealways

rememberapersonwhospeaksclearly,effectively,andconfidently.Forinstance,Appleco-founder

SteveJobs'sspeechattheiPhonelaunchingceremonyisaclassicexampleofbrilliantverbal

演讲，口头沟通的重要性都是无与伦比的。人们总是记得说话清晰、有效、自信的人。例如，

苹果公司联合创始人史蒂夫・乔布斯在iPhone发布仪式上的演讲就是一个经典的口头交流的

例子，即使在今天人们也记得）”可知，此空设于段中，与上文存在指代关系，该项中的Its

relevantskills指代“口头交际相关的技能”，且与下文存在解释关系，无论是每周一次的会议

还是面向参与方的演讲都反映了“口头交际技能在商业领域是必不可少的”。故B选项“它的

相关技能在商业世界中是必不可少的”符合语境，故选Bo

【18题详析】

根据后文“Interpersonalcommunicationoftenhappensbetweentwoindividuals.Reactionsand

responsesfi-omtheotherpersonwillhelpyouunderstandifyou'regettingyourthoughtsacross

clearly.Publiccommunicationisalsoknownas“publicspeaking”.Speeches,electioncampaigns

andpresentationsareafewexamplesofthistype.（人际交往经常发生在两个人之间。对方的反

应和回应会帮助你理解你是否清楚地表达了自己的想法。公共沟通也被称为“公共演讲”。演

讲、竞选活动和演讲就是这种类型的几个例子）”可知，此空设于段首，是本段的主题句。该

段介绍了“人际沟通”和“公众沟通”两种类型的口头交际。故C选项“语言交际可以分为两种

主要类型，，符合语境，故选c。

【19题详析】

根据上文“Verbalcommunicationisabroadtopic.Therearevariouselementsthathelpusorganize

ourthoughtsaroundit.Theyincludethetone,speed,andvolumeofyourspeech.（口头交流是一个

广泛的话题。有各种各样的因素可以帮助我们围绕它组织我们的思想。它们包括你讲话的语

气、语速和音量）”可知，此空设于段中，与上文存在递进关系，上文说明了影响口头交际的

因素，包括语气、语速和音量。该项介绍了另外两个因素，即语法和词汇。故G选项“此外，

语法和词汇是语言交际的关键方面”符合语境，故选G„

【20题详析】

根据上文“Avarietyofchallengesmayariseinverbalcommunication.Althoughdifficultieswith
