37、升”，B“图案”，C“改变”，D“趋势”，由此可知本句含义为“数字感是分辨数字变化的能力”，故C为正确答案。17. B。根据上下文的语境可知，分别说到“人类与生俱来具有这种能力（分辨数字变化的能力）”和“很多鸟类也有很好的数字感。”，运用逻辑推断可知，这里表示这是“令人惊讶的是”，四个选项分别为：A“重要的是”，B“令人惊讶的是”，C“令人失望的是”，D“幸运的是”；所以答案为B。18. D。根据上文第一句的“recognize”和下文的“knows the 5 ”语义提示可知，这是这二个词的同义词复现，本句句义为：如果一个鸟窝里有四颗鸟蛋，你拿走一个，鸟儿不会发现。A“生存下来”，B“关心”

38、，C“孵（蛋）”均不符合语境。19. A。根据常识判断，这里要表达的意思是：如果取走两颗鸟蛋时，鸟类在通常情况下会离开（飞走）。四个选项分别为：A“通常，一般情况下”，B“真诚地”，C“随意地”，D“故意地，有意地”。20. C。根据上文说到的“拿走一个和二个鸟蛋时，鸟的反应和表现”的语义提示可知，这些都是属于difference的范畴。而且这里的difference与第二句中的change形成同义词复现的关系；四个选项分别为：A“距离”，B“范围”，C“不同，区别”，D“间隙（时段）”。本句句义为：这说明鸟类知道二和三的区别。21. A。根据上下文的语义提示可知，这里要表达的意思是：另一个有

39、意思的实验也显示了鸟类的这种令人惊奇的数字感。故答案为A。amazing与第四句空格2“Surprisingly（令人吃惊或惊奇的是）”构成同义词的复现关系。22. D。根据下文第十一空前“not return to the nest”的语义提示可知答案，四个选项的含义分别为：A“放松”，B“恢复”，C“反应”，D“返回，归还”。本句句义为：这只鸟直到那个人离开那座塔之后才离开。事实上这里的return与上句中的left形成反义词的复现关系。23. C。根据上下文的语境可知，这个人第一种方法行不通，所以这里再用另一方法，由此运用逻辑推断可知，这里要表达的意思是：这个人有（或想出）了一个主意，四

40、个选项的含义分别为：A“失望”，B“借口”， C“主意，想法”，D“解释”。根据语境，下文讲了他的具体做法。A、B和D都不符合，C为正确答案：先有了想法或主意，然后是具体的行为。24. A?由but可知，他们并没能“欺骗”那只乌鸦。与下文fool?the?crow中的fool是原词复现，也就是说从此可以得到启示。25. B。根据上下文的语义提示可知，本句讲了实验的进展：他们又先后用三个人和四个人重复做了实验。并在下句交代了实验的结果：但是乌鸦都是等到所有人（离开）后才回巢。四个选项的含义分别为：A“报道”，B“重复”，C“设计”，D“通过”。根据语境， 26B。根据语义提示可知，gone与上文

41、（本段）的left，return，left，left多次构成同义词或反义词的复现关系。所以答案选B项。句意为表示两次实验的结果：但是乌鸦都是等到所有人（离开）后才回巢。故答案为B“离开”。其他选项的含义分别为：A“感到困惑”，C“感到很累”，D“喝醉了酒”。27D。根据上下文语境并运用逻辑推断可知，本句以强调句的形式交代了，最后的一次实验及实验结果：直到五个人进入到塔中，只有四个人离开时，他们才最终把乌鸦给搞糊涂了/愚弄了乌鸦。其他错误选项的含义分别为：A“逐渐地”，B“幸运地”，“奇怪地”。28B。根据本段语境并结合常识可知，前两句在说：人类的数字感觉也不是非常好。再根据大语境，全文一直在讲

42、，对于鸟类在小数字变换时的数字分辨能力的实验。显然可以推出本句句义为：例如，当从一个很小的一组东西中拿走一些时，十四个月大的婴儿几乎总是能够注意到（这个变化）。故答案为B。其他错误选项的含义分别为：A“单一的”，B“当地的”，D“新的”。 这里的small与以上的数字均形成具体与概括的复现关系。29. D。根据语义提示可知，这里的often与第三句中的almost形成近义词复现关系。四个选项的含义分别为：A“很少”，B“临时”，C“只有”，D“常常”。根据语境与行文逻辑，本句句义为：但是当数字超过三或者四时，婴儿们通常会被搞糊涂。30. C。根据上文的语义提示可知，这里的ability与首段的

43、ability形成相同词的复现关系。文章末段与首段开甩语义照应上的前后照应的关系。四个选项的含义分别为：A“视力，看见”，B“本质，天性，内在”，C“能力”，D“信仰，相信”。本段为结论段，根据语境，本句句义为：（好像数字感是我们与世界上的许多动物都具备的能力，而且）我们人类的这种能力不比乌鸦更强。语法填空101.
