第1题(2007年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（全国Ⅰ）) B Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense. Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda（大熊猫）eats only one particular type of bamboo（竹子）. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly（蝴蝶）will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet（多样化饮食）. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season. Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life. 60. We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________.
A. depend on one sense in choosing food B. are not satisfied with their food C. choose food in similar ways D. eat entirely different food 61. Which of the following eats only one type of food? A. The white butterfly. B. The small bird. C. The bear. D. The fox. 62. Certain animals change their choice of food when ___________. A. the season changes B. the food color changes C. they move to different places D. they are attracted by different smells 63. We can learn from the last paragraph that __________. A. food is chosen for a good reason B. French and British food is good C. some people have few choices of food D. some people care little about healthy diet 答案 60. C 解析:这是一道推理题。根据第一段可知,人用气味和味道来选择食物,动物用一种或多种感觉选择食物,从这点上人和其他动物是类似的。 61. A 解析:这是一道推断题。根据第二段“A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage,even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden.”可以推断出这种白蝴蝶只吃卷心菜。 62. A 解析:这是一道推断题。根据第二段“The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.”可以推断出这些动物的食物随着季节而变化。 63. D 解析:这是一道推断题。根据最后一段“We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us.”可知我们经常选择食物是因为喜欢而不是对身体有益,由此推断出有些人会选择不健康的食物。 第2题(2007年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（北京卷）)B The Book of Life So far, scientists have named about 1.8 million living species（物种）, and that’s just a small number of what probably exists on Earth. With so many plants, animals, and other living things coveting the planet, it can be tough to figure out what type of grass is growing by the roadside or what kind of bird just flew by. A soon-to-be-started Web site might help. An international team of researchers has announced the creation of Web-based Encyclopedia （百科全书）of Life（EoL）. The project aims to list every species on Earth in a single, easy-to-use reference guide. To get the encyclopedia started, the creators will use information from scientific databases （数据库） that already exist. And eventually, in special sections of the site, non-scientists with specialized knowledge will come to help. Bird-watchers, for example, will be able to input what birds they’ve seen and where. To make sure the encyclopedia is accurate, scientists will review much of the information added to it. As the EoL develops, you might find it useful for school projects. The site will feature （以……为特色）special pages for kids who are studying ecosystems in their neighborhoods. Another convenient feature of the EoL is that you’ll be able to pick the level of detail you want to see to match your interests, age, and knowledge. It now takes years for scientists to collect all the data they need to describe and analyze species. The creators of the Encyclopedia of Life hope that their new tool will speed up that Process. 60. The Web-based EoL aims to__________ . A. find out what covers the earth B. list all living things on Earth C. work out the number of birds D. save the existing plants 61. One characteristic of the EoL is that__________ . A. it is run by school students B. it focuses on different types of grass C. it provides different levels of information D. it allows non-scientists to review its data 62. In the last paragraph, hat process means__________ . A. analyzing species B. creating a new tool C. collecting data D. describing species 答案 60. B 解析:这是一道细节推断题。根据第二段最后一句“The project aims to list every species on Earth in a single,easy-to-use reference guide.”可知网上百科全书的目标建立一个简单易用的指引来列出地球上的所有物种。 61. C 解析:这是一道推理题。根据第四段“Another convenient feature of the EoL is that you’ll be able to pick the level of detail you want to see to match your interests,age,and knowledge.”你可以找到适合自己的兴趣、年龄和知识水平的信息,也就是说EoL有多层次信息适用于不同年龄段和兴趣以及知识水平的受众。 62. C 解析:这是一道词义推断题。根据最后一段,“that process”就是指前一句中提到的工作,前一句是“It now takes years for scientists to collect all the data they need to describe and analyze species.”科学家花费了很多年来搜集用来分析和描述物种的数据,所以“that process”指的是搜集数据。干扰项是A和D,分析和描述物种都是数据的用途而非在进行的工作。 第3题(2007年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（天津卷）)D In meditation(冥想)，people sit quietly and focus their atten
