2019牛津译林高考英语一轮基础选习题：模块6U2一、阅读理解。Wild elephants can tell whether a voice es from a man，a woman or a boy，a new study says.Thats what researchers found when they played recordings of people for elephants in Kenya.Scientists say this is an advanced thinking skill that other animals havent shown.It lets elephants figure out who is a threat and who isnt.The result shows that the clever animals are also studying people，said study author Karen Mcb.“Basically，they have developed this very rich knowledge of the humans that they share their habitat with，” said Mcb，a professor at the University of Sussex in England.“Memory is key.They must build up that knowledge somehow.”The study was released on Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Its close to but not quite like the Dr.Seuss book，where the elephant Horton hears something that others cant hear.Mcb and colleagues went to Amboseli National Park in Kenya，where hundreds of wild elephants live among humans，sometimes ing in conflict over scarce water.The scientists used voice recordings of Maasai men，who on occasion kill elephants，and Kamba men，who are less of a threat to the elephants.As a result，the elephants reacted more defensivelyretreating and gathering in a bunchto the Maasai language recording because it was associated with the more threatening human tribe，said study coauthor Graeme Shannon.They repeated the experiment with recordings of Maasai men and women.Since women almost never spear elephants，the animals reacted less defensively to the womens voices.The same thing happened when they substituted young boys voices.“Making this kind of fine distinctions in human voice patterns is quite remarkable，” said Emory University animal cognition expert Frans de Waal，who was not part of the study.1Who were the people taking part in the study?AFrans de Waal and Karen Mcb.BDr.Seuss and Graeme Shannon.CGraeme Shannon and Frans de Waal.DKaren Mcb and Graeme Shannon.2What can wild elephants benefit from their special ability?AIdentifying and avoiding possible danger.BGrowing much faster than any other animals.CHaving a better understanding of humans.DDeveloping their language skills.3Which can replace the underlined word“substituted”in the last paragraph?

To use B. Using C. Used D. Having used【答案】C【解析】句意：睡前使用手机，会导致睡眠质量下降。cellphones 与 use 是动宾关系，即使用手机，应该用过去分词表被动，排除 A、B、D，本句可改写为：If cellphones are used before bed, they can result in a restless night.。25.The parents do everything we can _ their daughter with good education, so that she will get a good job in the future.A. provide B. providing C. provided D. to provide【答案】D【解析】句意：那对父母做了他们能做的一切为他们的女儿提供良好的教育，为了她以后能得到一份好工作。原句应为：The parents do everything we can do to provide their daughter with good education.所以选 D。6.As Chinas villages meet modernity, with such conveniences as the flushing toilet, the Internet and personal carownership, some traditions are being left by the wayside, only _ in memory.A. remained B. remaining C. to be remained D. being remained【答案】B【解析】句意：随着中国农村步入现代化，冲水马桶、网络和私家车等便利到来，一些传统留在人们的记忆里。现在分词作状语，表示自然而然的结果，remain 一词表示“遗留”时为系动词，故没有被动形式。7.Will you please tell us how you can seize the robbers?I will spend a whole week _ in your room to wait for their ing.A. locking B. to lock C. locked D. to be locked【答案】C【解析】 过去分词短语作状语。 根据句意“把自己关在你的房间里度过一周的时间”， 即 lock myself in yourroom，lock 与主语 I 之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词作状语，表示方式。句意： “请问告诉我您怎样才能抓住强盗呢?” “我把自己关在你房间里一个礼拜，等待他们的到来(就抓住他们了)。 ”8._ by the sad story of the child, many people offered to lend him a helping hand.A. Being affected B. Having affected C. Affected D.
