水木艾迪:考研英語(yǔ)閱讀理解沖刺之新題型

    II. Reading Comprehension

    Part B

    Directions: In the following article, some sentences have been removed. For questions 41-45, choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into each of the numbered blank. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the gaps. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points)

    Long before Man lived on the Earth, there were fishes, reptiles, birds, insects, and some mammals. Although some of these animals were ancestors of kinds living today, others are now extinct, that is, they have no descendants alive now. 41) __________.

    Very occasionally the rocks show impression of skin, so that, apart from color, we can build up a reasonably accurate picture of an animal that died millions of years ago. The kind of rock in which the remains are found tells us much about the nature of the original land, often of the plants that grew on it, and even of its climate.

    42)__________. Nearly all of the fossils that we know were preserved in rocks formed by water action, and most of these are of animals that lived in or near water. Thus it follows that there must be many kinds of mammals, birds, and insects of which we know nothing.

    43)________. There were also crab-like creatures, whose bodies were covered with a horny substance. The body segments each had two pairs of legs, one pair for walking on the sandy bottom, the other for swimming. The head was a kind of shield with a pair of compound eyes, often with thousands of lenses. They were usually an inch or two long but some were 2 feet.

    44)________. Of these, the ammonites are very interesting and important. They have a shell composed of many chambers, each representing a temporary home of the animal. As the young grew larger it grew a new chamber and sealed off the previous one. Thousands of these can be seen in the rocks on the Dorset Coast.

    45)________.

    About 75 million years ago the Age of Reptiles was over and most of the groups died out. The mammals quickly developed, and we can trace the evolution of many familiar animals such as the elephant and horse. Many of the later mammals, though now extinct, were known to primitive man and were featured by him in cave paintings and on bone carvings.

[A] The shellfish have a long history in the rock and many different kinds are known.

[B] Nevertheless, we know a great deal about many of them because their bones and shells have been preserved in the rocks as fossils. From them we can tell their size and shape, how they walked, the kind of food they ate.

[C] The first animals with true backbones were the fishes, first known in the rocks of 375 million years ago. About 300 million years ago the amphibians, the animals able to live both on land and in water, appeared. They were giant, sometimes 8 feet long, and many of them lived in the swampy pools in which our coal seam, or layer, are formed. The amphibians gave rise to the reptiles and for nearly 150 million years these were the principal forms of life on land, in the sea, the in the air.

[D] The best index fossils tend to be marine creatures. These animals evolved rapidly and spread over large areas of the world.

[E] The earliest animals whose remains have been found were all very simple kinds and lived in the sea. Later forms are more complex, and among these are the sea-lilies, relations of the starfishes, which had long arms and were attached by a long stalk to the sea bed, or to rocks.

[F] When an animal dies, the body, its bones, or shell, may often be carried away by streams into lakes or the sea and there get covered up by mud. If the animal lived in the sea its body would probably sink and be covered with mud. More and more mud would fall upon it until the bones or shell become embedded and preserved.

[G] Many factors can influence how fossils are preserved in rocks. Remains of an organism may be replaced by minerals, dissolved by an acidic solution to leave only their impressions, or simply reduced to a more stable form.

答案:

本篇介紹的是史前類動(dòng)物。文章結(jié)構(gòu)的脈絡(luò)清晰:首先介紹什么是史前動(dòng)物和我們研究史前動(dòng)物的依據(jù)——化石,以及化石形成的過(guò)程。隨后,作者即按照動(dòng)物進(jìn)化的順序——我們可以見(jiàn)到其化石的最早的動(dòng)物,水生殼類動(dòng)物,脊椎類動(dòng)物——逐一加以介紹。 
  41.文章一開(kāi)始,作者告訴我們,早在人類出現(xiàn)以前地球上就許多物種,現(xiàn)在有些物種的后代依然生存,而另外一些則沒(méi)有留下后裔。在本題空白處后面文章又說(shuō)巖石上偶爾會(huì)留下數(shù)百萬(wàn)年前就死掉了的動(dòng)物精確的印記。顯然,空白處應(yīng)該是關(guān)于巖石與滅絕了的動(dòng)物之間的關(guān)系(7個(gè)選項(xiàng)中有ABEG四項(xiàng)提到了“rock”,但另外大三項(xiàng)意思上不符)。此外,空白處前面的“extinct”“no descendant”均為否定意義和表達(dá),而空白處的后面“accurate”“much”則為肯定意義的表達(dá);這意味著空白處的內(nèi)容應(yīng)該有一個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)上的轉(zhuǎn)折只有B項(xiàng)符合這一條件。所以正確答案只能是B 
  42.本題考查尋找特征詞的能力。在該題中,根據(jù)就近原則在該題后的句子中找到“the fossils”“water action”為特征詞。“the fossils”說(shuō)明“ fossils”一詞是至少是第二次出現(xiàn),因?yàn)樗懊婕恿硕ü谠~the,通過(guò)仔細(xì)觀察并不難發(fā)現(xiàn),42以及其前面的內(nèi)容中都沒(méi)有fossils,這就確定fossils一詞必定出現(xiàn)在41,42中。根據(jù)意群相一致原則,在42中必定要與“water action”同現(xiàn)或復(fù)現(xiàn)的語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)。綜上所述,只有同時(shí)滿足以上兩個(gè)條件的選項(xiàng)才是正確答案。雖然G項(xiàng)一開(kāi)始就有“how fossils are preserved”,與上文和下文似乎都是相吻合的;但是G項(xiàng)后面講的是動(dòng)物遺體上的有機(jī)組織“organism”可能轉(zhuǎn)達(dá)化成幾種形式,而本題空白處后面的內(nèi)容則告訴人們“Nearly all of the fossils that we know were preserved in rocks formed by water action”(巖石中幾乎所有的化石都是由于水作用泥沙對(duì)于化石保存下來(lái)所起的作用與上下文相符合。 
  43.本題選擇的特征詞是“also”“also”表并列關(guān)系,這就證明在43前面的句子中應(yīng)當(dāng)與also后的crab-like creatures相并列,即空白處顯然有關(guān)于另一動(dòng)物的內(nèi)容;從本段開(kāi)始,文章轉(zhuǎn)向討論由低級(jí)高級(jí)變化(進(jìn)化)中的動(dòng)物。E項(xiàng)開(kāi)始的部分是“The earliest animals whose remains have been found…”,符合文章寫作的順序。B項(xiàng)與上文相符,但與下文不符,且與全文結(jié)構(gòu)不相吻合。 
  44.本題選擇的特征詞是these以及與其具有同指關(guān)系的ammonites They 。通過(guò)閱讀44以后的兩個(gè)句子不難發(fā)現(xiàn),these,ammonites They是指同一事物,意即有“shell”的事物。同時(shí)44后一開(kāi)始就有“Of these,…”,也就是說(shuō),空白部分應(yīng)該有“some, several, many”或類似的詞,答案只能是A。由于文中有了“The first animals”,為避免句式上的重復(fù),作者改變句子起始的模式這種做法很多見(jiàn),因而也是考生閱讀和寫作中應(yīng)該注意的。 
  45.該題目是一道簡(jiǎn)單試題,一方面這是一道段落題,這就決定了有可能選最長(zhǎng)的選項(xiàng)為答案,另一方面根據(jù)就近原則在下一段首句中發(fā)現(xiàn)的About 75 million years ago成為我們解題的關(guān)鍵。從文章的整體結(jié)構(gòu)看,這里需要一個(gè)內(nèi)容的高潮:前面幾段,動(dòng)物都在不斷的進(jìn)化,而下文中“About 75 million years ago the Age of Reptiles was over”,這里需要有一個(gè)交代。只有C項(xiàng)符合這一條件;同時(shí),“reptile”在本題空白處前文章中從沒(méi)有提到,在下文中又沒(méi)有作為新信息,因而作為正確答案的選項(xiàng)中一定有這個(gè)詞,只有C項(xiàng)中有“The amphibians gave rise to the reptiles for nearly 150 million years these were the principal forms of life on land, in the sea, and in the sea ,and in the air”。所以正確答案只能是C。
