22、hites dont mistake humans for other animals.heir diet.D) There is reason to doubt与题解：t great whites see well enough to attack humans.1. C 选项 A(鲨鱼咬冲浪板)和 B(鲨鱼咬他指)两个选项发生在 Craig 落水之前，故排除这两项。从第二段第三行可以得到如下信息：当 Craig 落入水中，手指上的鲜血在水中散开之时，这条五米长的鲨鱼却自己了。此信息排除了选项 D(鲨鱼他），因此为 C (鲨鱼自己了）。2. A 从第二段第一行可以看出：鲨鱼类视为，这是一条，

23、很容易理解，因此选项B()被排除。而选项 C(有很多牙）和 D(长到六或是更长）只是对鲨鱼的简单描述，也属于;而且文中并未出现对它们的质疑，说明作者也默认了这两条。因此选项 C 和 D 也被排除。所以是 A(常常让人类逃脱），这在文中第三段得到了验证， 第三段整段就是在说虽然鲨鱼可以轻松杀死人类，但是它们却很少。第三段最后两行甚至提到就连鲨鱼研究者们都在尽力寻找人类屡屡能鲨口逃生的原因，这就更能证明选项 A 是正确。3. B 本题要求读者根据上下文的语境猜测第四段第二行斜体标出的词组make up 的意思。结合 makeup 词组前出现的单词 seal 和 sea lion 以及它后面出现的词

24、组 a large part of their diet,通过可可以发现选项 A(创造）、选有意义的一句话。因此只有选项以猜出：海豹和海狮应该是鲨鱼的主要食物来源。比对四个选项，项 C(增加）和选项 D(依靠）在意思上都说不通，代入原文无法B(是）在意思上和 make up 最为接近，代入原文也说得通。在本文中，词组 make up 的意思为：组成，。4. B 本题要求读者根据上下文的语境猜测第四段第二行斜体标出的单词 their 的意思。结合第四段前两行的内容可以很容易推测出，在这里 their 指代的是 the great whites(大白鲨），因此为 B。5. C 本题要求读者总结出第

25、四段的主要内容。第四段主要介绍的是：人们起初以大白鲨视力不好为由来解释人类为何屡屡鲨口脱险，但是最近的信息表明大白鲨的视力并不差，不会把人类误认为是海豹或海獅。大白鲨不是由于它们觉得人类太瘦，没有海獅和海豹那么肥。对比四个选项：选项 A 略显片面，不是本段的主要内容，故排除。选项 B 中提到大白鲨也把人类当作食物来源，这点是错误的，故排除 B。选项 D 中说的是人们开始怀疑这一论断的正确性，但是选项 D 的表述和文中的信息正好相反;人们现在开始怀疑的是“大白鲨 由于视力不好才去人类”这一论断，而不是现在知道大白鲨不会把人“大白鲨由于视力很好才去类误以为是其他动物）。人类”，故排除 D。所以正确

26、为 C(参考译文第三篇鲨鱼！正坐在他的冲浪板上估算着下一波浪离他还有多远，就在这时冲浪板不动了。他低头向水下看，惊悚的一幕出现了： 一条大白鲨正在撕咬冲浪板的前端。“肘部可能都已经碰到了听到。它的眼睛”，谈道。原来，这条鲨鱼悄悄地浮上了水面，完全没让惊慌害怕，手足无措，但是偶然之间他被鲨鱼咬掉了两支手指，然后随着滑板翻了个个儿，他也掉进水里。就在那时，处于水中的在深海之中。两支手指鲜血直流，但这条五的鲨鱼却径直游开，虽然鲨鱼常被认为是疯狂死，人类更有可能被闪电然而大白鲨可以长封 6的猎手，但事实上这是确的。鲨鱼很少猎类。比起被鲨鱼杀或是淹死在浴缸中。在上个世纪，有的只有 74 人命丧鲨鱼之口。

27、、2200 公斤重或是更重。3000 颗牙齿排成数排长在鲨鱼那可怕的血盆大口中，它们可以轻易杀死并无助的落水者。但为什么大多数人受到大白鲨之后都能鲨口逃生呢？鲨鱼研究者们正在努力寻找使得人类鲨口脱险的原因。最常用的解释是说大白鲨的视力不好。人们认为大白鲨会把人类错当成是海豹或是海狮，后两者是鲨鱼的主要食物来源。但是人类又找到了理由来质疑这一论断。最近的研究信息表明大白鲨视力不错。并且当大白鲨在海豹时，它们会迅速窜面，用力撕咬。但当大白鲨在人类时，它不够肥。“它们在大多数情况下会慢慢浮面，撕咬的力度也轻得多。它们很快就会发现人类们把吐出来是因为太瘦了”，艾丹马丁说道，他是鲨鱼研究暗礁搜索中心的领

28、头人。诸如马丁这样的鲨鱼研究者们提出了这样一种假设：大白鲨实际上是一种好奇心很重的动物，它们喜欢探索新鲜事物。有可能它们撕咬物体不仅仅是为了猎杀和，也是为了搜集信息。虽然这种经历对于像这些人来说很不幸，但是当鲨鱼在撕咬冲浪板， 或是别的物体，甚至是人类时，很可能它们只是在尽量了解那到底是个什么东西。第五篇 The Travels of Ibn Battuta“I left Tangier, my birthplace, the 13th of June 1325 with theention of making thlgrimage toMecca. to leave all my frien

41、 的意思是：在他那个时代的人看来，图泰的经历很普通。结合本文内容知道该选项必然是错误的，故排除 A。选项 B 的意思是：图泰的故事可能是虚构的。根据本文的内容可以知道图泰在历史上确有其人，他的经历也是真实的，甚至他的故事还被写成了书流传后世,所以该选项不对，故排除 B。选项 C 的意思是：图泰的没有那么有不能武断地的重要。根据本文,知道图泰的经历虽然在西方社会不如世界是家喻户晓。文中并没有出现对比他们俩的信息,所以名，但他的故事在说谁的就一定比另一位的重要，故排除选项 C。因此，本题正确为 D(在现今的西方世界，图泰应该会比以前更有名）。5.D 在第四段前两行中，会发现：最后哥的苏丹王要求一生

42、的图泰回家和世再来对比四个选项就不难发现本题的正确为 D(人他的智慧。定位这条信息之后，哥的苏丹王要求他回家）。参考译文第五篇图泰游记“1325 年 6 月 13 日，我离开了家乡，打算前往朝圣。我告别了所有的朋友，如鸟儿离巢般，告别故土。”这便是图泰游记的序言。这份旧稿存放在巴黎一家馆里。算起，30 年这 Y 年轻的哥人所处的年代比的年代要早了几乎两个世纪，从他出发去之后图泰才回到故乡，那时的他已经晋升到历史上伟大旅行家的行列。出于好奇，他了世界的各个角落，遍布了 44 座现代城市，总行程是的 3 倍。虽然在西方社会不怎么有名，图泰在国家却家喻户晓。在图泰的故乡，有以名的广场、旅店、咖啡馆、

43、渡船，甚至汉堡。图学生的在待了几年，但对于的渴望很快又让他重新出发。有一次他来到，在德里的苏丹王那里谋到了一份收入颇丰的工作。他写到，在去德里的，他的队伍在野和差不多 12 名步外被 80 名步兵和 2 位：“进行了殊死搏斗杀死他们的一位兵我和马都中了箭，但是多谢的恩赐，最后我活了下来背着亡者的头颅前往的城堡并把这些头颅挂在城墙上。” 因为有在的学习经历，德里的苏丹图泰安排了的工作。但是这位苏丹王脾气古怪，性情多变，所以图泰想借机逃走：当苏丹王提出要资助图泰去中国旅行时，他同意了。图泰将要乘着三艘船起航，但他还未离岸，不幸便降临了。一场突如其来的暴风雨摧毁了两艘船，吹走了财宝，许多船员和马匹都

44、溺水而亡。他眼睁睁载着他的财物和的第三艘船被吹到了海上，从此便再无音讯。更糟的是，他的孩子也在这艘船上。最后哥的苏丹王要求一生的图泰回家和世人他的智慧。幸运的是，他同意了此事并写了本书。这本书已被翻译成了很多种语言，可以让世人了解他那无与伦比的旅行经历。第十篇 A Letter from AlanI have learnt of a plan to build threedred houses on the land called Parsons Place by the footballground.
