【答案】56.C57.A58.D59.B

【導讀】本文介紹了一項新研究，證明了信鴿可以通過精確的內部指南針和記憶的地標來回到它們的鴿舍，

即使是在它們上一次飛行的四年之后。研究人員使用GPS設備記錄了信鴿的飛行路線，發現它們可以記住

路線，即使是幾年前學習的路線。這表明信鴿的記憶力非常出色，可以保持多年。該項研究提供了新的證

據，可用于觀察信鴿的記憶力。

【解析】

【56題詳解】

詞義理解題。根據上下文語境可知，研究人員研究的不僅是信鴿能夠記住路線，還要求信鴿過了幾年之后

仍然能夠回憶起存儲的信息。因此，在這里，"retrieve”的意思是"recover",表示恢復、取回的意思。所以答

案選C.recover.

【57題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據文章的第三段和第四段可知，信鴿在經過幾年之后，依然能夠回憶起之前學習的路線，

重新尋找回窩o所以答案選A.Pigeonsrememberspecificrouteshomeafteryearsaway.

[58題詳解】

細節理解題。根據文章的第四段和第五段可知，2016年的實驗是讓鴿子在不同的社交環境中學習路線，并

且通過GPS設備記錄飛行路徑。選項A是錯誤的,JulienCollet只是研究的合著者之一,并非設計實驗的人；

選項B是錯誤的，GPS設備是臨時固定在鳥背上而非永久性的；選項C是錯誤的，實驗并沒有消除錯過關

鍵地標的信鴿；選項D是正確的，實驗中的信鴿是從投放點飛回歸巢的。所以答案選D.Pigeonsweremade

toflyfromthereleasesitetotheirloftsseveraltimes.

【59題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據最后一段可知，VernerBing-man教授認為研究結果并不令人驚訝，因為信鴿的記憶力是

非常出色的。他還表示，這項研究結果提供了信鴿了不起記憶力的新證據，使人類自負的智能觀念與動物

的能力之間的距離縮小了一點。所以答案選B.Humansareblindedbysuperioritywhenitcomestoanimal

intelligence.

【答案】56-59ACCC

【解析】

【導讀】這篇文章介紹了KatalinKariko和DrewWeissman的研究成果，他們發現了使mRNA發生輕微化學

變化的方法，并因此被授予諾貝爾生理學或醫學獎。他們的研究為C0VID-19疫苗的開發做出了重要貢獻。

[56題解析】

A.推理判斷題。根據第2段最后一句話"Theirworkdefieddecadesofscientificdogma",意思是Kariko和

Weissman的研究挑戰了幾十年的科學信條。所以，他們的工作被認為是與傳統觀念相悖的。因此，選項A

"challenge"（挑戰）是正確的。

[57題解析】

C.細節理解題。根據第2段的倒數第二句話"Theyhadfoundawaytochemicallymodifythelab-mademRNA",

意思是他們找到了一種方法，對實驗室制造的mRNA進行化學修飾。因此，選項C"chemicallymodify"（化

學修飾）是正確的。

[58題解析】

C.細節理解題。根據最后一段的第一句話"BrianFerguson,CEOoftheuniversity'sFoundationforResearch

Development",意思是BrianFerguson是該大學研究發展基金會的首席執行官。接下來的句子"statedthat

KarikoandWeissman'sworkhadpreventedmillionsofdeaths,helpingtheworldrecoverfromitsworstpandemic

sincethelastcentury",意思是Ferguson說Kariko和Weissman的工作阻止了數百萬人的死亡，幫助世界從自

上個世紀以來最嚴重的大流行病中恢復過來。因此，選項C"recognized"（被認可）是正確的。

[59題解析】

C.主旨大意題。文章主要講述了Karik6和Weissman因其對C0VID-19疫苗開發的貢獻而獲得諾貝爾獎。

因此，選項C"NobelPrizeAwardedtoCOVID-19VaccinePioneers”（諾貝爾獎授予COVID-19疫苗先驅者）

是最適合的標題。

【答案】56.B57.C58.B

【解析】

【導語】本文是一篇說明文。主要介紹了山東省一種傳統的民間藝術形式一糧食畫的相關信息。

【56題詳解】

細節理解題。根據第三段中“Afterbeingtreatedtopreventdecayandinsectinfestation,grains,grassandvegetable

seedsaregluedtogethertoformapicture.（經過防腐和防蟲處理后，谷物、草和蔬菜種子被粘在一起形成一幅

畫）”可知，谷物和種子在被做成藝術品之前，經過一定的防腐處理后才結合在一起。故選B項。

【57題詳解】

細節理解題。根據第七段中""Onlynow,whenfoodissufficient,canpeoplemakeapicturewithsurplusgrain,"he

says.（他說：“只有現在，當食物充足時，人們才能用剩余的糧食來描繪“）”可知，人們在糧食供應充足和

過量的情況下制作糧食畫。故選C項。

【答案】36.B37.A38.B39.A

【解析】

【導語】本文是說明文。本文主要描述了加拿大鵝的特點及其在城市生活中的表現。

【36題詳解】

推理判斷題。文章第一段uCanadageeseareacommonandplentifulNorthAmericanbirdfoundinmanyurban

parks,golfcourses,airports,orareaswithlargelawnsnearwater.Theyarealargewaterbirdwithafairlybrownbody,

palebreast,andlongblackneckwithwhitecheeks.（加拿大鵝是一種常見的、數量豐富的北美鳥類，在許多城市

公園、高爾夫球場、機場或靠近水的大型草坪地區都能找到。它們是一種大型水鳥，有著深棕色的身體，

蒼白的胸脯，長長的黑色脖子和白色的臉頰。）”和第二段的"Canadageeseareparticularlyattractedtourban

areasforthemanygrassylawnsnearsmallbodiesofwater.Theycanoftenbeseenfeedingonlawnsorplayingin

shallowwaterbytippingforwardandextendingtheirnecksunderwatertoreachforplants.（加拿大鵝特別喜歡城

市地區，因為小水域附近有許多草地。它們經常在草坪上覓食，或者在淺水區玩耍，它們會向前傾，把脖

子伸到水下去抓植物。）”提到，加拿大鵝經常出現在城市公園、高爾夫球場、機場或靠近水的大草坪等地

方，并且它們喜歡在靠近水的小草坪上覓食和玩耍。因此，可以得出它們喜歡在水邊度過時間。故選B。

【37題詳解】

詞句猜狽!I題。前文“Urbanhabitatsarealsoattractivetothisspeciesasneatly-maintainedlawnsmakeiteasy（城市

的棲息地也對這個物種很有吸引力，因為整潔的草坪使it很容易生存）”和下文“tokeepwatchfor

approachingenemies（提防逼近的敵人）”以及it是形式賓語，真正的賓語是"tokeepwatchforapproaching

enemies"可推斷，城市的棲息地因為整潔的草坪吸引加拿大鵝，因此推斷，加拿大鵝靠在城市草坪上覓食，

這意味著它們吃草時也可以地方敵人，因此推斷劃線詞與A項"以……為食”意思一致，表示與幼崽一起

吃草。故選A。

[38題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據最后——段的"AsCanadageesenumbersrise,sodotheirconflictswithhumans.Canadageese's

dailyactivitiesmaydamagegardensandlandscaping.Geesemayalsocrossroadswhensearchingforfoodor

walkingbetweennestingsitesandbodiesofwater,slowingmovementorposingapotentialriskontheroadway.（隨

著加拿大鵝數量的增加，它們與人類的沖突也在增加。加拿大鵝的日常活動可能會破壞花園和景觀。鵝在

尋找食物或在筑巢地和水域之間行走時也會穿過馬路，這會減慢它們的移動速度或對道路構成潛在風險。）”

可知，隨著加拿大鵝數量的增加，它們與人類的沖突也會增加。因此推斷劃線部分“Althoughdirectinjuries

fierce*eeseareuncommon,peoplesometimesfallandpickupinjurieswhensurprisedacharging（雖

然被兇猛的鵝直接傷害是罕見的，但人們有時會在被一只沖鋒的鵝嚇到時摔倒并受傷。）”說明加拿大鵝很

可能威脅著人類的安全。故選B。

[39題詳解】

細節理解題。根據文章最后一段的"Lastly,plane-birdconflictsareestimatedtoberising,likelyduetoincreasing

numbersofplanes,butalsoincreasesinpopulationsofcertainbirdspecies,includingCanadageese.Although

crashesrarelyresultinanaccident,theyoftencausecostlydamagetoplanes.（最后，飛機與鳥類的沖突估計正在

上升，可能是由于飛機數量的增加，但也包括加拿大鵝在內的某些鳥類種群的增加。雖然撞擊很少導致事

故，但它們經常給飛機造成昂貴的損失。）”可知，空中鳥類與飛機的沖突可能會增加，但這主要是由于飛

機數量的增加以及某些鳥類（包括加拿大鵝）的種群數量增加所致。雖然空難很少發生，但它們通常會對飛機

造成昂貴的損失，根據aCanadageese'sdailyactivitiesmaydamagegardensandlandscaping.（加拿大鵝的日常

活動可能會破壞花園和景觀。）”可知，數量過多也會影響城市景觀。因此，頻繁的空難不是日益增長的鵝

的數量造成的麻煩。故選A。
