The testing done primarily focused on the dogs responses to colors for food. Dogs could not tell the difference between one color, a signal for food, and other colors that were not for food. Similar tests that was conducted on cats produced similar results, which led scientists to conclude that they, too, are colorblind and live in a gray world.The inability of most animals to see colors, from an evolutionary (进化的) standpoint, is quite simple to understand. Many colorblind animals have dullcolored coats, hunt for food in the dark of night, or graze in the dim twilight (黄昏的) hours. Their other senses have developed to the point where the lack of color vision in no way weakens them. For them, life in a colorless world is neither a handicap, nor a threat to their survival.The only animals, other than man, which scientists can conclusively say have color vision are monkeys and apes. Both can be trained to open a colored door, behind which is food, and man can be trained to open a refrigerator door of any color! 1According to_，scientists found that dogs and cats are colorblind.Awhat food they intend to eatBtheir keen sense of smellCan evolutionary standpointDtheir responses to colors for food2The underlined phrase “compensate for” probably means_.Abe different from Bmake up forCrely on Dgive in to3Except for_all the following animals can tell apart different colors.Alions BhumansCmonkeys Dapes4Which of the following is NOT true about dogs?AThey have dullcolored coats.BThey hunt for food in the dark of night.CThey can survive without any threat.DTheir other senses, especially their sense of smell，are very sensitive.BThe state of Florida is best known for its beaches and palm trees.But a large part of it is swamp(沼泽地)The famous Everglades，a slowmoving sheet of water full of plants and alligators(鳄鱼)，covers much of the southern part of the state.To the north，the Okefenokee，which is partly in Florida and mostly in neighboring Georgia，is a true swamp with its own alligators and snakes.It was formed when waters from an ancient ocean drew back and a large sandbar(沙洲)blocked most of the water flow to the sea.There is no big city within 200 kilometers，but tourists from all over the world manage to find it.They all want to know about its unusual name.Okefenokee is a Miccosukee Indian word meaning land of trembling(颤抖的)earth.Way back in the swamp are small，floating(漂浮的) islands，which one can walk across.And they tremble.Standing on them is like trying to balance on a floating mattress(床垫)The Okefenokee，which is already nearly filled with plants，would probably dry up and become just another forest if it were not for the fires that come along from time to time.So the water in this protected National Wildlife Refuge keeps moving slowly，very slowly.5According to the passage，the famous Everglades lies _.Amainly in GeorgiaBin the north of FloridaCto the south of the OkefenokeeDnear the National Wildlife Refuge6The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refers to “_”AFlorida Bthe OkefenokeeCGeorgia Dan ocean7The third paragraph mainly tells us _.Awhere the Okefenokee liesBwhat the size of the Okefenokee is Chow the floating islands come into beingDhow the Okefenokee gets its special name8What can be inferred from the passage?AThe Okefenokees alligators attract many tourists.BHammocks tremble but do not move.CFires prevent the Okefenokee from drying up.DFlorida and Georgia cover 1,800 square kilometers in total.详解答案.语篇解读：空气污染对生态环境的破坏非常严重。针对这种情况，科学家找到了一些解决该问题的方法。1选A由下文的the air outside可知答案。2选B上句话说室内空气比室外空气坏，本句说的是室内空气比室外空气差的倍数。3选C句意为：室内空气污染能使人感到疲惫、眼睛疼痛、头痛以及其他问题。4选D疲劳、眼睛疼痛、头痛都是室内污染带来的问题，所以本空选择problems。5选D“导致癌症”与“导致呼吸紊乱、血液病”在程度上有递进的关系，故用even。6选C第二段讲的是室内污染所带来的一些问题，以及所导致的一些疾病，因此此处指多数科学家断言每一个现代居室都存在着室内污染。7选B本句话表示“人们开始关注这个问题”。pay attention to“注意，重视”，固定搭配。8选A由下一句“To do this they built buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside”可知，所填词与建筑有关，所以用houses。9选A上文提到，他们在建造房屋与办公室时不想浪费能源，所以此处指他们也开始使用人造材料，所以填using。10选A由空前的manmade building materials可知，这里表示这些材料释放有害气体。11选C下半句scientists began searching for a _12_ to deal with it是上半句的结果，上半句意为：因为这个问题越来越严重。12选D解决污染问题，只能是寻找一种方法， 故用way。13选B本句话意思是：他们发现了一种适用于建筑的天然材料。for在此表示“适用于”。14选B由下一句“They believe that a plants leaves absorb or _15_ pollutants”可知，此处选plants。15选A由空前的or可知，该空应与absorb是同义词，故用take in。16选B在交换中，植物通过叶子或根的小组织来释放出氧气，所以应为exchange“交换”，“交换”指的是植物吸收污染物，然后释放氧气。17选A鉴于把植物放在房间里的好处，所以科学家提出了一种“建议”。18选Beach absorbs different chemicals是科学家得出的结论，所以被认为是“研究”得到的。19选C绿色植物对控制室内污染有很好的作用，故推断此题填clean。clean the air 意为“净化空气”。20选D由于绿色植物能够净化室内空气，所以在房间里放置绿色植物能够使房子漂亮并有益于健康。.1.选D事实细节题。第三段的第一、二句：科学家通过标示食物的颜色来观察狗和猫的反应，最后得出结论：狗和猫都是色盲。2选B词义猜测题。前一句说狗不能分辨颜色，这一句接着说：它们敏感的嗅觉对其色盲作了“弥补”。3选A事实细节题。根据最后一段第一句话可得出答案。4选C事实细节题。第四段中A和B的说法都提到了；由本段第三句可推断出D的说法也正确；文中未提C的说法。语篇解读：著名的奥克弗诺基沼泽一部分位于佛罗里达，但大部分位于格鲁吉亚。虽然200公里内没有大城市，但来自世界各地的游客还是设法来到这里5选C由第一段最后一句可知，the Okefenokee位于the famous Everglades的北面。因此the famous Everglades 位于the Okefenokee的南面。6选Bit指代的是the Okefenokee沼泽地。7选D第三段主要讲述了the Okefenokee这个特殊的名字是怎样得来的。8选C由最后一段第一句可推知，如果不是因为不时会发生火灾，这片沼泽地就会干涸了。- 6 -
