A.Itiskeytoeffectivemunication. B.Itcontributesmuchtoculturaldiversity.C.Itisaplexanddynamicsystem. D.Itdrivestheevolutionofhumanbeings.【答案】32.D33.C34.A35.C【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍因为饮食的改变导致了现在在世界上一半的语言中发现了新的语音。【32题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Morethan30yearsago,thescholarCharlesHockettnotedthatspeechsoundscalledlabiodentals,suchas“f”and“v”,weremoremoninthelanguagesofsocietiesthatatesofterfoods.NowateamofresearchersledbyDamianBlasiattheUniversityofZurich,Switzerland,hasfoundhowandwhythistrendarose.(30多年前，学者CharlesHockett注意到，被称为唇齿音的语音，如“f”和“v”，在吃软食物的社会的语言中更常见。现在，瑞士苏黎世大学的DamianBlasi领导的一组研究人员发现了这一趋势产生的方式和原因)”可知，DamianBlasi的研究关注的是这一趋势是如何产生的以及产生的原因，可知他的研究重点是在语言的演变上。故选D项。【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Theydiscoveredthattheupperandlowerfrontteethofancienthumanadultswerealigned,makingithardtoproducelabiodentals,whichareformedbytouchingthelowerliptotheupperteeth.Later,ourjawschangedtoanoverbitestructure,makingiteasiertoproducesuchsounds.(他们发现，古人类的上门牙和下门牙是对齐的，因此很难产生唇齿音，唇齿音是通过下唇接触上牙齿而形成的。后来，我们的下颚变成了覆盖咬合结构，更容易发出这样的声音)”可知，因为古代成年人因为上下门牙是对齐的，他们的下颚结构跟现在的我们不一样，这就导致他们发不出这个唇齿音，也就是说他们的下颚结构使他们很难发出唇齿音。故选C项。【34题详解】主旨大意题。根据第五段中的“AnalysesofalanguagedatabasealsoconfirmedthattherewasaglobalchangeinthesoundofworldlanguagesafterthesoNeolithicage,withtheuseof“f”and“v”increasingremarkablyduringthelastfewthousandyears.Thesesoundsarestillnotfoundinthelanguagesofmanyhuntergathererpeopletoday.(对语言数据库的分析也证实，在新石器时代之后，世界语言的发音发生了全球性的变化，在过去几千年里，“f”和“v”的使用显著增加。这些声音在今天许多狩猎采集者的语言中仍然没有发现)”可知，此段主要是通过介绍语言数据库的分析结果来证实语音是发生了很大变化，有些以前使用的语音，现在不一定找得到，因此此处主要是通过相关证据进一步证明研究结果。故选A项。35题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中““Thesetofspeechsoundsweusehasnotnecessarilyremainedstablesincetheappearanceofhumanbeings,butratherthehugevarietyofspeechsoundsthatwefindtodayistheproductofaplexinterplayofthingslikebiologicalchangeandculturalevolution,”saidStevenMoran,amemberoftheresearchteam.(研究小组成员StevenMoran说：“自从人类出现以来，我们使用语音不一定保持稳定，我们今天发现的各种语音都是生物变化和文化进化等复杂相互作用的产物。”)”可知，人类的语意一直在发展变化中，并不会一成不变，而且会因生物变化和文化变化等进行复杂的相互作用而改变，因此可知StevenMoran认为语音是一个复杂的动态系统。故选C项。【点睛】第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Weallknowthegoldenrule:treatothersthewayyouwanttobetreated.Thisisanoldproverbwelearnfromanearlyage.___36___Haveyouevernoticedthatwhenyoudosomethingniceforsomeoneelse,itmakesyoufeelbettertoo?Thisisn’tjustsomethingthathappensrandomly(随机地).___37___Doingnicethingsforothersincreasesyourserotonin(血清素),whichisresponsibleforfeelingsofsatisfactionandwellbeing.___38___Whilethereareseveralwaystoreduceanxiety,itturnsoutthatbeingnicetootherscanbeoneoftheeasiest,mostinexpensivewaystokeepanxietyatbay.UniversityofBritishColumbiaresearchersfoundthatparticipantswhoengagedinkindactsdisplayedsignificantincreasesinpositiveafct(积极情感)thatlastedoverthefourweeksoftheirstudy.So,thenexttimeyou’refeelinganxious,lookforopportunitiestohelpothers.Makingothersfeelgoodcan“warm”yourheart,sure—butbeingnicetootherscanalsoaffecttheactualchemicalbalanceofyourheart.Kindnessreleasesthehormoneoxytocinwhichreducesbloodpressureandthereforeprotectstheheart.___39___Maybethat’swhytheysaynice,caringpeoplehavereallybighearts.Kindnesscanhelpyoulivelonger.Youmaybeshakingyourheadatthisone,butthere’ssciencetobackitup.AccordingtoHealth,you’reatagreaterriskofheartdiseaseifyoudon’thaveastrongnetworkoffamilyandfriends.Whenyou’rekindtoothers,youdevelopstrong,meaningfulrelationshipsandfriendships.___40___A.Anxietyisanextremelymonhumanexperience.B.Thisbehaviorcanhelpyouhandlestressfulsituations.C.Kindnessstrengthensyourheartphysicallyandemotionally.D.Ithassomethingtodowiththepleasurecentersinyourbrain.E.Besidesimprovingpersonalrelationships,kindnesscanmakeyouhealthier.F.So,makesomenewfriends,orexpandyourkindnesstotheonesyoualreadyhave.G.However,thereareanumberofreallifebenefitsconnectedwiththewaywetreatothers.【答案】36.G37.D38.A39.C40.F【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了对别人善良带给自己的好处。【36题详解】上文“Weallknowthegoldenrule:treatothersthewayyouwanttobetreated.Thisisanoldproverbwelearnfromanearlyage.(我们都知道一条黄金法则：己所不欲，勿施于人。这是我们从小学到的一句古老谚语)”提到一句古老的谚语：己所不欲，勿施于人，下文讲述了对别人好带给自己的好处，G项“然而，在现实生活中，我们对待他人的方式会给我们带来很多好处”符合语境，和上文形成转折关系，引出下文内容，故选G。【37题详解】上文“Haveyouevernoticedthatwhenyoudosomethingniceforsomeoneelse,itmakesyoufeelbettertoo?Thisisn’tjustsomethingthathappensrandomly(随机地).(你有没有注意到，当你为别人做一些好事时，你也会感觉更好？这不是随机发生的事情)”提到，为别人做好事自己也会感觉更好，这不是随机发生的事情，空处应是对此进行科学解释，D项“这与你大脑中的快乐中枢有关”符合语境，下文“Doingnicethingsforothersincreasesyourserotonin(血清素),whichisresponsible.forfeelingsofsatisfactionandwellbeing.(为别人做好事会增加你的血清素，这是满足感和幸福感的来源)”是对D项进一步解释，故选D。【38题详解】根据下文“Whilethereareseveralwaystoreduceanxiety,itturnsoutthatbeingnicetootherscanbeoneoftheeasiest,mostinexpensivewaystokeepanxi
