Scientists named her Lucy from the Beatles song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”， which was played at the camp the night of her discovery.The following analysis of the slices showed sharp, clean breaks seen at the end of Lucys right humerus (肱骨) are similar to bone breaks seen in victims of falls.The researchers concluded that these and other breaks in her skeleton show that Lucy, who is believed to have stood about 3 feet 6 inches and weighed about 60 pounds, fell feet first and used her arms to support herselfbut that the injury was too severe to have been survivable.The researchers estimate that Lucy was going about 35 miles an hour when she hit the ground after falling from a height of roughly 40 feet, according to the statement.That sounds plausible. But other scientists are doubtful. “There are countless explanations for bone breaks，” Dr, Donald C, Johanson, director of the Institute of Human Origins and one of the scientists who discovered Lucy, said, “The suggestion that she fell out of a tree is largely a justso story and therefore unprovable.”Johanson said it was more likely that Lucys breaks occurred long after she died, saying that elephant bones appear to have the same kind of breaks, Its unlikely they fell out of a tree.But the new research focused on “a small number of breaks” that are consistent with “highenergy bonetobone influences” and which differ from the sorts of breaks monly seen in other collected bones. Kappelman responded in an email, “These appear to have occurred at or near the time of death.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇科教类阅读，露西，1974年他的骨骼在埃塞俄比亚被发现。根据一项周一发表在英国自然杂志的一项研究，他是从树上摔下后死的。本文以此展开，主要讲述了专家学者在发现了Lucy坠树后不久身亡的骨骼后，对其死因的争论。8What can we know about Lucy from Kappelman and Dr. Richard Ketchams research?AShe got her name from a song.BShe had more than 35,000 slices.CShe couldnt use her arms properly.DShe made an effort to save herself.答案与解析：D细节理解题。根据第四段“who is believed to have stood about 3 feet 6 inches and weighed about 60 pounds, fell feet first and used her arms to support herselfbut that the injury was too severe to have been survivable.”可知，Lucy本想用胳膊来支撑自己，却无能为力，可知她想过自救，故选D。9What does the underlined word “plausible” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?AReasonable. BCreative.CSurprising. DUnbelievable.答案与解析：A词义猜测题。根据“That sounds plausible. But other scientists are doubtful.”上文听起来是合理的，后面But表示转折，一些科学家是持怀疑态度的，故可知是doubtful的反义词，故选A。10Which of the following would Johanson probably agree?AElephants are unlikely to die from falling.BLucy got breaks at or near the time of death.COther reasons for the breaks should be considered.DLucys bone breaks differ from other bone breaks.答案与解析：C细节理解题。根据“There are countless explanations for bone breaks”可知，Johanson专家认为对于Lucy的死因还有许多不同的解释，他会同意的是其他因素也应该被考虑进Lucy的死因。故选C。11What conclusion can we draw from the passage?ALucy didnt die from falling out of a tree.BThe newly published study was meaningless.CThe argument on how Lucy died will continue.DScientists will find another way to solve the problem.答案与解析：C主旨大意题。根据文章内容最后一段“But the new research focused on a small number of breaks that are consistent with highenergy bonetobone influences and which differ from the sorts of breaks monly seen in other collected bones. Kappelman responded in an email, These appear to have occurred at or near the time of death.”可知，但是一些新的研究又出现了，可以总结出对于这件事情的争议还会继续下去。故选C。D(xx辽宁大连双基测试)Whenever we see a button，we want to press it because we know that something will happen.This is true in most cases，for example，on a doorbell.But some buttons are actually fake (假的)，like the “close” button on a lift.Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close” button because they dont have the patience to wait.But lifts “close” buttons are a plete trick，at least in the USthe doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US，making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter safely.Only repair workers can use the buttons to speed up the doorclosing process if they have special keys.But to normal lift riders，the buttons arent pletely useless.According to psychologists，fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.“A sense of control is very important.It reduces stress and increases wellbeing，” said Ellen JLanger, a psychology professor at Harvard University.Experts also added that a lot of buttons that dont do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose.For example，pedestrian crosswalk buttons dont live up to their names either.Pressing them used to help make the traffic signals change faster，but that was before putercontrolled traffic signals were introduced.But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little “white lies”，they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close，it is considered to be worth the effort.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了我们平时生活中所见到的按钮可能是不起作用的。12What is the authors purpose in writing the text?ATo describe different fake buttons.BTo explore the functions of fake buttons.CTo analyze various habits of pushing buttons.DTo explain the disadvantages of fake buttons.答案与解析：B考查推理判断。通读整篇文章可知，作者通过举例子介绍了不同地点的虚假按钮，其目的是探求这些虚假按钮的功能。13What can we learn about the “close” buttons on a lift in America?AThey work when people press them hard.BThey were designed for a sense of control.CThey never speed up the doorclosing process.DThey take the safety of the disabled into account.答案与解析：D考查细节理解。根据第三段第一句中的“making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter safely”可知，美国电梯里的“关闭”按钮是为了确保残疾人能安全地通过。14What can we infer about pedestrian crosswalk buttons?AThey can make people feel better.BThey help puters work faster.CThey can control the traffic signals.DThey help pedestrians cross safely.答案与解析：A考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control”和第六段中的“For example，pedestrian crosswalk buttons dont live up to their names either”可知，人行横道按钮也没有实现其功能，但可以让人们感觉好一点，故选A。15Which may be the best title for the passage?AButtons in the USABButtons Always LieCButtons May Not WorkD“Close” Buttons on Lifts答案与解析：C考查标题判断。通读全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了有些按钮只是形式上的，而不具备真正的实际功能。故C项“按钮可能不起作用”最符合文章主旨。.七选五(xx陕西省部分学校第一学期摸底检测)Are Your Clothes Causing Pollution?Very small pieces of plastic, called microfiber, are polluting rivers and oceans. _1_ Clothes worn for outdoor activities and exercise are often made of artificial materials，which are useful in keeping warm.But they contain very small plastic fibers，which may also be harming the environment when you wash them.When people wash these clothes，very small pieces go down the drain(下水道) with the wash water._2_Pollution caused by plastic is not new，but recent studies have shown the effect of microfiber on the environment.Studies show microfiber is ending up in our waters，which may e from waste water treatment factories.A xx study found it in fish from California.Microfibers effect on food suppliesBeyond the waterways，the researchers say microfiber may end up in soil and agricultural lands. _3_ This means there is much to be learned about microfiber and the environment.Some studies have shown that microfiber ends up inside sea animals，like oysters. _4_ Researchers say that the fibers tend not to move into the tissue of the fish，but it needs more study.Steps to keep microfiber from the environmentUntil more information bees known，there are steps to take to reduce the amount of microfiber in the environment.People should use less of the artificial materials. If we already have those in our lives and were using them, an important step would be washing them less._5_ A bag is being designed in which you can wash these clothes.The bag traps the microfiber in it and it may be available for purchase soon.ANew technology may also help.BStudies on how much of the microfiber are released.CThe source of the microfiber may surprise you: your clothes.DWashing machines keep microfiber from escaping with wash water.EStudies on microfiber in the environment.FIt can also move around the atmosphere.GSo if microfiber has been found in fish and seafood，are they safe to eat?【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了微纤维的来源、微纤维对环境以及食物供应的影响和减少微纤维进入环境的措施。1答案与解析：C由文章标题“Are Your Clothes Causing Pollution”可知，本文与衣服导致污染有关，并结合下文可知，造成污染的微纤维来自于有些用人工材料制成的衣服，故C项符合语境。2答案与解析：E根据文章结构可知，空处为该部分小标题。空后的段落主要讲的是微纤维对环境的影响，故E项符合语境。3答案与解析：F结合空前一句中的“the waterways”和“in soil and agricultural lands”可知，研究人员认为微纤维可能扩散到水道，土壤和农田中，故F项“它也能在大气中移动”符合语境。4答案与解析：G空前一句中的“sea animals，like oysters”与G项中的“fish and seafood”相呼应，故G项符合语境。5答案与解析：A空后一句中的“A bag is being designed”正是A项中的“New technology”，故A项符合语境。
