【答案】28.D29.A30.B31.C

28.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的"Forexample,AmericanSignLanguageisunintelligible

（無法了解的）toBritishSignlanguage.'1（例如,美國手語是英國手語無法理解的。）可

知，美國手勢語與英國手勢語沒有什么共同之處。故選D。

asignlanguagethatisusedtorepresentawrittenlanguage.Andthere'sahandshapethat

correspondstoeachletter/,（所以手勢語字母表是手語中的一個(gè)子系統(tǒng)用來表示書面語言。

每個(gè)字母對應(yīng)一個(gè)手的形狀.）可知,手勢語字母表的特別之處在于它的每個(gè)字母都與一

種手勢相對應(yīng)。故選A。

30.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段第二句"Surprisingly,theAustrianmanualalphabetinfluenced

signlanguagesasfarawayasRussia."（令人驚訝的是，奧地利的手語字母表影響了遠(yuǎn)在俄

羅斯的手語。）可知，作者認(rèn)為奧地利手勢語字母表的影響是令人吃驚的。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)

A.Worrying.令人擔(dān)心的；B.Astonishing.令人吃驚的;C.Moving.令人感動(dòng)的；

D.Disappointing.令人失望的。故選B。

31.C段落大意題。根據(jù)最后一段內(nèi)容"Powersaysfutureresearchcomparingthevocabularies

發(fā)精神疾病的生物學(xué)因素，從而研制出有效的藥物。

32.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容“AstudyledbyPlana-Ripoll,adoctoratAarhusUniversityin

Denmark,triestodealwithafundamentalquestionthathasbotheredresearchersformorethana

究，試圖解決一個(gè)困擾了研究人員一個(gè)多世紀(jì)的基本問題——到底是什么導(dǎo)致了精神疾病

可知，精神疾病的根源是什么這一問題困擾了研究人員一個(gè)多世紀(jì)。故選B。

33.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句"Instead,recentlythey'vefoundthatdisordersshadeinto

eachother,andtherearenoharddMdinglines.（相反，他們最近發(fā)現(xiàn)，紊亂相互影響，并且沒有

明顯的分界線。戶可知，研究人員最近發(fā)現(xiàn)各種精神疾病之間是相互聯(lián)系的，沒有標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的分界

線。故選Ao

34.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段的“Perhapstherearcseveraldimensionsofmentalillness,so

接受，但這兩種觀點(diǎn)都被認(rèn)真對待。）“可知，多維度的概念更廣泛地被研究人員接受。故選Co

35.A推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段i|i"Thcyarcalsohopefulthat,inthelongrun,replacingthis
