在那里，他发现那里的人没有心脏病发作、糖尿病、体重超重或许多其他西方国家常见的疾病)”可知，基塔瓦人没有西方国家常见的疾病。故选C项。25．细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句“Attheendofthreemonths,thegroupfollowingtheMediterraneandiethadreducedtheirbloodsugarlevelsbyasmallamountbutthosefollowingtheStoneAgediethadmuchlowerlevelsofsugarintheirblood.(三个月后，遵循地中海饮食习惯的小组血糖水平略有下降，但遵循石器时代饮食习惯的小组血糖水平要低得多)”可知，遵循石器时代饮食习惯的人血糖水平低。故选D项。26．细节理解题。根据第四段的最后一句中的“Thedietcontainssomemeat,fish,vegetablesandnuts(坚果)butitdoesn’tcontainanydairyproducts(乳制品)orgrains,andthereisnosalt.(这种饮食包括一些肉、鱼、蔬菜和坚果，但不含任何乳制品或谷物，也不含盐)”可知，石器时代的饮食中没有盐。故选B项。27．细节理解题。根据最后一段的第四句“Becauseoftheirpoorhealthcare,thereismorechanceofthemdyingatayoungage.(由于他们的卫生保健水平落后，他们年轻时死亡的可能性更大)”可知，基塔瓦人寿命不长的原因在于卫生保健条件不好。故选C项。28．C29．C30．B31．D这是一篇说明文。1949年，当考古学家检查GrottadeiMoscerini的一个洞穴时，他们发现了171件由蛤壳制成的工具。然而，当时还不清楚这些贝壳是从海滩上捡来的，还是从水中捡来的。如今研究团队最近重新研究了贝壳工具的收藏，并发现了新的细节，文章主要介绍了研究的发现和意义。28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Atthattime,however,itwasn’tclearwhethertheshellshadbeenpickedupfromabeachorsourcedalivefromthewater.(然而，当时还不清楚这些贝壳是从海滩上捡来的，还是从水中捡来的)”可知，考古学家不确定用这些贝壳是来制造工具的起源。故选C。29．细节理解题。根据第二段中“VillaandhercolleaguesconcludedthatdivingforclamsmighthavebeenaroutinepartofNeanderthallifeinthisregion.Fishingandusingcoastalresourceswerethoughttobeuniquebehaviorstomodernhumans,butNeanderthalscouldperfectlydothat.(Villa和她的同事得出结论，潜水寻找蛤蜊可能是这一地区尼安德特人生活的常规部分。捕鱼和利用沿海资源被认为是现代人特有的行为，但尼安德特人完全可以做到这一点)”可知，Paola和她的同事们关于尼安德特人的新发现是他们有能力利用海洋资源。故选C。30．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Butitwasnolongeraccessiblebecauseitwasburiedunderrocksthatwereblownfromthesideofthehillduringtheconstructionofacoastalhighwayintheearly1970s.(但由于它被埋在20世纪70年代初修建沿海高速公路时从山的一侧吹来的岩石下，现在已无法进入)”可知，粗心的人类活动让GrottadeiMoscerini遗址难以恢复。故选B。31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“TheprejudiceagainstNeanderthalabilitiesmaysimplybeduetoalackofwidespreadarchaeologicalevidence.Unfortunately,thecoastalsitesthatmighthelpsupportthecaseofNeanderthalbeachactivitiesarehardlyseen,andmanyarenowunderwater.DuringthetimethatNeanderthalsandhumanssharedtheplanet,theclimatewasmuchcolderandicesheetsstretchedoverlargerpartsoftheEuropeancontinent.Butattheendofthelasticeage,fromabout19,000toabout6,000yearsago,sealevelsrosearoundtheworldbyabout400feet,swallowingtheoncecampsitesofprehistoryontheshoresoftheocean.(对尼安德特人能力的偏见可能只是由于缺乏广泛的考古证据。不幸的是，可能有助于证明尼安德特人在海滩上活动的沿海遗址几乎看不到，而且许多现在都在水下。在尼安德特人和人类共享地球的时期，气候更冷，冰盖覆盖了欧洲大陆的大部分地区。但在上一个冰河时代的末期，从大约19000年到大约6000年前，世界各地的海平面上升了大约400英尺，吞噬了海洋岸边曾经的史前露营地)”可推知，作者写最后一段的目的是解释低估尼安德特人文明的原因。故选D。32．C33．C34．D35．B这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了波士顿的一家初创公司WiseSystems正通过将机器学习与从司机手机收集的数据配对来解决原始配送路线存在的一些问题。介绍了这项技术的一些优势以及给公司带来的好处。32．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Butwhendriversgetstuckintrafficjamswhileontheirrounds,they’resimplyoutofluckandbehindschedule.Thesamethinghappensifthere’sasurprisesnowstormthatmakesroadsimpassable.(但是，当司机在开车时遇到交通堵塞时，他们只是运气不好，落后于计划。如果有一场突如其来的暴风雪使道路无法通行，也会发生同样的情况)”可推知，作者对常用的配送路线持消极态度。故选C。33．词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“dependingonanyproblemsthatcomeup”以及第三段中“Ifthetechnologydeterminesthatadriverwillmissascheduledstopbecauseofroadclosures,forexample,itwillchangetheschedulefortheentireday.”可知，例如，如果该技术确定驾驶员将因道路封闭而错过预定的停车点，它将改变一整天的时间表，可见该交付过程可以根据出现的任何问题进行调整。故画线词意思是“调整”。故选C。34．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Thegoalofthetechnologyistocreateroutesthatallowdriverstoworkmorequicklyandeffectively,whichcompaniesputmoreandmoreeffortintonowastheyfightforcustomerswhoexpecttheirordersalmostimmediately.Bydoingso,companiescansavemoneybyincreasingthenumberofdeliveriesthatdriverscanmakeduringshiftsandmakecustomershappierbyraisingthelikelihoodthattheirorderswillarriveontime,orbedeliveredbythedrivertheyprefer.(这项技术的目标是创建路线，使司机能够更快、更有效地工作，而现在，随着公司为那些几乎马上就能收到订单的客户而努力，他们也越来越努力。通过这样做，公司可以通过增加司机在轮班时可以交付的数量来节省资金，并通过提高订单准时到达或由他们喜欢的司机交付的可能性来让客户更开心)”可推知，提高效率对公司越来越重要。故选D。35．推理判断题。根据第二段“WiseSystems,aBostonstart-up,isdealingwiththisage-oldproblembypairingmachinelearningwithdatacollectedfromdrivers’mobilephones.Itdealswithinformationlikethedriver’sdrivingspeedandlocationwithotherdetailsincludingtraffic,weather,wheretheordersarebeingdelivered,andwhencustomersareavailabletoreceivetheirorders.(波士顿的一家初创公司WiseSystems正通过将机器学习与从司机手机收集的数据配对来解决这一古老的问题。它处理诸如驾驶员行驶速度和位置等信息，以及其他详细信息，包括交通、天气、订单交付地点以及客户何时可以收到订单)”结合文章主要说明了波士顿的一家初创公司WiseSystems正通过将机器学习与从司机手机收集的数据配对来解决原始配送路线存在的一些问题。介绍了这项技术的一些优势以及给公司带来的好处。可推知，这篇文章的目的是介绍新技术。故选B。36．C37．D38．G39．B40．F这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了可以克服误解并维持友谊的三种方法。36．上文“Ifyouregularlycommunicateandtakeproperstepstobeasupportivefriend,youcanovercomeanymisunderstandingandmaintainyourfriendshipforthelongrun.(如果你经常沟通并采取适当措施成为一个给予帮助的朋友，你可以克服任何误解，并长期维持友谊。)”说明沟通和采取适当措施可以克服误解，长期维持友谊，C项“有很多方法可以加强你们之间的联系。”说明有很多可以采取的方法，符合题意，引出下文的措施。故选C。37．下文“Callingandtextingaregreatwaystokeepintouch,butspendingtimewiththepersonisanevenbette
