选修6Unit 1 Art一、阅读理解。Scientists in Britain have managed to teach bumblebees(大黄蜂) to pull strings to get to food and then pass on what they have learned to others in their colony(群体)showing a high level of intelligence despite their tiny brains.Researchers at Queen Mary University of London said the experiments, often used to test the intelligence of apes (猿) and birds, showed for the first time that some insects are up to the task, and can also pass skills on through several generations.The findings add to the evidence suggesting the ability for culture spread the ability to learn and pass on knowledge and skills may not be exclusive to humans.In the research, published in the journal PLOS Biology on Tuesday, the scientists were able to train 23 out of a group of 40 bees to pull strings with their legs and feet.The strings were attached to discs or artificial flowers containing food at their center but placed under a transparent screen. The bees, spotting the food beneath the screen, learned to pull the flowers out by pulling the string with their legs and feet to be able to get to it.From another group of bees given the chance to solve the task without any training, only two of 110 were successful.Another group of bees was then allowed to observe the trained bees pulling the strings, and 60 percent of them successfully learned the skill. Finally, trained bees were put in colonies, and the scientists found the technique spread successfully to a majority of the colonys worker bees.Lars Chittka, a Queen Mary University professor who guided the project, said the team is interested in figuring out the brain processes behind the bees learning and teaching skills.1.What does the underlined word exclusive in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.

There are many kinds of ways that joy unexpectedly es into our life.Perhaps even better is a blessing in disguise. Assume that you are walking in the rain to a bookstore because your _4_ (favor) author is going to hold a meeting for her new book.

It is a blessing in disguise.1_ 2._ 3._ 4._ 5._ 6._ 7._ 8._ 9._ 10._ 篇章导读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。生活总会给我们许多惊喜。你冒着雨去与自己最喜欢的作者见面，却被告知作者生病不能前来，但你却无意中遇到了自己多日不见的朋友，这就是我们生活中的惊喜。1like考查介词。由设空前的parties和设空后表示举例的名词可知，应填like “例如；像”。2can考查情态动词。由设空前的“arent expecting”和空后的“as well”可知，应填表示理论上的可能性的can。3seeing考查非谓语动词。此处表示收到邮件或在杂货店见到老朋友都会让人感到意外。空处作介词by的宾语，故应使用see的动名词形式seeing。4favorite考查词性转换。此处应用形容词修饰名词author，指最喜欢的作家，故用favorite。5When/After考查状语从句的连接词。此处指当/在你走进书店时/之后，故填When/After。6What考查感叹句的引导词。“Whata/an形容词单数名词主语谓语”为固定句型，在表意清楚的情况下，主语和谓语常常被省略，故此处用What。7But考查连词。根据上下文语境可知，此处表示转折，故用But。8a考查冠词。此处指“一个咖啡店”，表泛指，故用不定冠词a。9sickness考查词性转换。由上文中的“the author is sick”可知此处表示作者生病了，再由空前的“authors”可知此处应用名词。10were考查虚拟语气。此处表示要是你喜欢的作者现在没有生病，你可能就没有机会和老朋友喝咖啡了。表示与现在事实相反的假设，所以应用were。三、完形填空。阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可能填入空白处的最佳选项。It was 3 am，a cold and wet night，on August 21,2010.I had just left a local club to travel ten kilometers home when I lost _1_ of my car on Grand Junction Road in Hope Valley.I _2_ into a still car that was _3_ in front of a house，and then hit a tree.I was badly injured！_4_ still，I had no idea that a fire had started _5_ the bonnet (引擎盖)of my car._6_ in the car behind me was a young man，who I later found out was called Jared.He saw the accident occur and _7_ to help me out of the car.He put his own life in _8_ when he got into the back seat trying to undo my seat belt.With my seat belt _9_ ，Jared then broke the drivers window to drag me out.He _10_ did this while my car was burning._11_ by the crash，the homeowners came out to investigate(调查)Jared told them to ring emergency services _12_ he continued to help me out of the car.I _13_ my life to Jared and I consider him a good friend due to the _14_ bond created on the night he dragged me to safety.I was rushed to the Royal Adelaide Hospital in a _15_ condition，five bones broken.I spent a few weeks in hospital，during which time Jared visited me to see how I was _16_.He also continued to contact me after I returned home.He says he doesnt believe that he did anything special.On that，I _17_ disagree with him and am very glad that he didnt get hurt in the _18_.Today，nearly seven years later，Jared and I still _19_ and often talk about the events of that night.Jared is my _20_ and my friend.1A.balance BsightCinterest Dcontrol2A.got BsteppedCcrashed Dhid3A.kept BparkedCfound Dstood4A.Worse BLuckilyCClearly DBadly5A.off BunderCnear Dbeyond6A.Sitting BSleepingCDriving DWaiting7A.stopped BfailedChappened Dhesitated8A.practice BhandCsafety Ddanger9A.renewed BundoneCrepaired Dfastened10A.hardly BgraduallyCbravely Dnaturally11A.Annoyed BDraggedCWarned DWoken12A.while BalthoughCuntil Dsince13A.devote BoweCtake Dsave14A.bloody BsocialCspecial Dloose15A.nervous BpleasantCnormal Dserious16A.recovering BoperatingCstruggling Drelaxing17A.eventually BexactlyCtotally Dprobably18A.spot BprocessCway Dchallenge19A.take care Bfit inCdrop in on Dkeep in touch20A.angel BownerCdoctor Ddriver【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。七年前的一个夜晚，“我”的车失控撞到前面的车辆和树木，然后起火，“我”受了重伤，“我”后边的车里的年轻人勇敢将“我”从车里救出来并把“我”送到医院。“我”康复后和那个年轻人成了好朋友。1D考查名词辨析。根据下文中的“hit a tree”可推知，“我”的车失控了。lose control of.为固定短语，意为“对失去控制”，符合语境。故选D。2C考查动词辨析。根据下文中的“hit a tree.I was badly injured！”可推知，“我”撞上了一辆车。“crash into”为固定短语，意为“撞上”。故选C。3B考查动词辨析。根据本句中的“a still car”和空格后的“in front of a house”可推知，“我”撞上了一辆停在房子前面的车。B项意为“停放(汽车等)”，符合语境。故选B。4A考查副词辨析。根据本句中的“I had no idea that a fire had started.”可推知，撞车本来就是一件很糟糕的事，而着火则令事情更加糟糕。worse still意为“更糟糕的是”，符合语境。故选A。5B考查介词辨析。根据本句中的“the bonnet(引擎盖)of my car”可推知，车的引擎盖下面着火了，而作者并不知情。B项意为“在下面”，符合语境。故选B。6C考查动词辨析。根据下文“He saw the accident occur.”及语境可知，这个年轻人目击了这起事故；由此可推知，他当时应该是在我后面开车。故选C。7A考查动词辨析。根据下文所描述的这个年轻人救“我”的过程可推知，此处是指他停下自己的车然后把“我”从车里救出来。stop to do sth.意为“停下来去做某事”，符合语境。故选A。8D考查名词辨析。根据上文可知，“我”的车撞到了一辆车并起火；由此可推知，这个年轻人是冒着生命危险将“我”从车里拽出来的。put.in danger为固定搭配，意为“将置于危险之中”。故选D。9B考查动词辨析。根据上一段中的“when he got into the back seat trying to undo my seat belt”可推知，他先解开了我的安全带。B项意为“解开，松开”，符合语境。故选B。10C考查副词辨析。根据本句中的“while my car was burning”可推知，当时车还在着火，所以将“我”从车里拽出来很危险，他的这个行为很勇敢。C项意为“勇敢地”，符合语境。故选C。11D考查动词辨析。根据文章第一句中的“It was 3 am, a cold and wet night”可知，此处指这家人被这场事故吵醒。D项意为“弄醒，醒来”，符合语境。故选D。12A考查连词辨析。句意为：Jared告诉他们打急救电话，同时继续把“我”从车中拽出来。while意为“与同时”，强调两件事同时发生。故选A。13B考查动词辨析。此处指“我”能活下来是因为Jared。 owe.to.为固定用法，意为“将归功于”。故选B。14C考查形容词辨析。根据本句中的“created on the night he dragged me to safety”可知，此处是指在Jared救“我”的那晚我们就建立了特殊的联系。C项意为“特别的”，符合语境。故选C。15D考查形容词辨析。根据本句中的“five bones broken”可知，“我”被送往医院时断了五根骨头；由此可推知，“我”的伤势很严重。D项意为“严重的”，符合语境。故选D。16A考查动词辨析。根据语境及常识可知，Jared来医院是看“我”恢复得怎么样了。A项意为“康复，恢复”，符合语境。故选A。17C考查副词辨析。根据前一句“He says he doesnt believe that he did anything special.”可知，他认为自己并没有做什么特别的事情。而“我”在这一点上完全不同意他的看法，因为他救了“我”的命。C项意为“完全地，全部地”，符合语境。故选C。18B考查名词辨析。此处是指“我”很庆幸他在营救“我”的过程中没有受伤。B项意为“过程”，符合语境。故选B。19D考查动词短语辨析。根据本句中的“often talk about the events of that night”可知，多年后我们仍然保持着联系。D项意为“保持联系”，符合语境。故选D。20A考查名词辨析。根据上文可知，Jared救过“我”的命，因此“我”觉得他是“我”的天使、“我”的朋友。A项意为“天使”，符合语境。故选A。四、短文改错。Dear Dave，Im very glad to receive your letter ask for my advice on how to learn Chinese well.
