解析：1.理解具體信息。根據(jù)第一段中的"Thoughnotknowntousetoolsinthewild,thebirdshaveprovedskillfulattooluse"可知,實(shí)驗(yàn)中鳳頭鸚鵡通過(guò)使用工具拿到了盒子里的果仁,故選B項(xiàng)。

2.推斷。根據(jù)第二段首句"Inhumans,babiescanputaroundshapeinaroundholefromaroundoneyearofage"可知,在大約一歲時(shí),嬰兒就能將圓形物體放入圓孔中,由此可推知C項(xiàng)正確。

3.理解具體信息。根據(jù)最后一段信息可知,研究人員下一步將查明鳳頭鸚鵡是否完全依靠視覺(jué)線(xiàn)索還是也需要使用觸覺(jué)來(lái)對(duì)物體的形狀作出選擇。

4.理解文章主旨要義。綜觀(guān)全文,尤其是根據(jù)文章首句"Goffin'scockatoos,akindofsmallparrotnativetoAustralasia,havebeenshowntohavesimilarshape-recognitionabilitiestoahumantwo-year-old"可知,文章主要講述鳳頭鸚鵡出色的形狀識(shí)別能力。故D項(xiàng)作文章標(biāo)題最佳。3.答案：1-4ACCB

解析：1.理解詞匯。根據(jù)第二段首句"Eversinceherchildhood,Ginni,now71,hashadadeeplovefortravel"可知,Ginni從小就喜歡旅行。由本段最后一句話(huà)"Whensheretiredfromdancingandhersonseventuallyflewthenest,shedecideditwastimetotaketheplunge"可知,當(dāng)Ginni退休,兒子們離家獨(dú)立后,她決定是時(shí)候冒險(xiǎn)嘗試,踏上旅途了。故選A。

2.理解具體信息。根據(jù)第三段中的"itwasinChileshediscoveredshecouldgetlast-minutecheapdealsonshipsgoingtoAntarctica"可知,Ginni發(fā)現(xiàn)她可以趕上駛往南極洲的最后一刻的低價(jià)船票。故選C。

3.理解觀(guān)點(diǎn)、態(tài)度。根據(jù)文章最后一段"Therealizationthatthisisapreciousland,toberespectedbyhumans,wasoneofthebiggestthingsthathithometoGinni"可知,南極洲之旅后,Ginni意識(shí)到了那是一片凈土,應(yīng)該受到人類(lèi)的尊重和保護(hù),這讓她深受觸動(dòng)。A項(xiàng)"南極洲可以成為她的家";B項(xiàng)"南極洲理應(yīng)易達(dá)";D項(xiàng)"南極洲需要全面介紹"。故選C項(xiàng)。

4.理解文章主旨要義。文章提及Ginni喜歡旅行,著重介紹了Ginni難忘的南極洲奇遇。A項(xiàng)"一個(gè)童年夢(mèng)想",與全文主題不符;C項(xiàng)"環(huán)游世界",范疇超過(guò)了本文內(nèi)容;D項(xiàng)"遇見(jiàn)南極洲的動(dòng)物",以偏概全。故選B項(xiàng)。4.答案：1-3ABD解析：1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)PersonalizedDayTourintheNetherlands部分第一句"Gaincloseinsight(洞察力)intotheNetherlands'artisticworksonthisprivatewalktourfromAmsterdam,ledbyaprofessionalarthistorian."可知,在一位專(zhuān)業(yè)的藝術(shù)史學(xué)家的引導(dǎo)下,人們可以在這趟從阿姆斯特丹出發(fā)的私人步行之旅中深入了解荷蘭的藝術(shù)品。由此可知,最適合藝術(shù)生的旅行路線(xiàn)是PersonalizedDayTourintheNetherlands。故選A。

2.推理判斷題。通讀全文可知,四條旅游路線(xiàn)所采用的交通工具分別是步行、自行車(chē)、乘船和公交車(chē)。由此可知,四條旅游路線(xiàn)的主要不同點(diǎn)在于交通方式。故選B。

3.文章出處題。通讀全文可知,文章介紹了荷蘭首都阿姆斯特丹及其周邊的幾條旅游路線(xiàn)。由此可推知,文章最有可能出自一個(gè)旅游網(wǎng)站。故選D。5.答案：1-4ABDB解析：1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容可知,在颶風(fēng)摧毀了巴拿馬城的麥當(dāng)勞門(mén)店后,Devon的母親TiffanyWinters在社交媒體上發(fā)帖詢(xún)問(wèn)是否有人能幫忙找到(麥當(dāng)勞)著名的"金拱門(mén)",以便讓她的兒子參加手工藝制作比賽。由此可知,TiffanyWinters在網(wǎng)上發(fā)帖是為她的兒子向大眾尋求幫助。故選A。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第一句中的"whol
