Unit 4 Global warming
現在飛越海洋是一件輕而易舉的事情,然而幾個世紀以前渡過海洋需要周密的計劃、人造船只和勇氣。是誰最先渡過了哪個海洋一直是科學家和歷史學家研究的話題,最近研究結果發現雞可能也是最早渡過玻利尼西亞和南美之間的海洋的。41. d。 主旨大意題。本文在第一段點題,根據第一段第四句“when it comes to the trip between polynesia and south america, chickens may have been among the first ocean voyagers, according to new evidence.”并根據后面科學家對在玻利尼西亞群島和南美洲挖出的雞骨進行dna鑒定等,可知d選項正確。42. d。 事實細節題。由文章第二段可知第一批從polynesia到chile的人是在大約620年前,而根據第二段最后一句可知,第一批歐洲人晚了大約一個世紀,因此他們是約在520年前到的南美洲的。43. b。 事實細節題。由文章倒數第三段“the researchers also compared the genetic material, or dna, from the south american chicken bone with dna from 11 chicken bones that had been found on the polynesian islands of tonga and american samoa.”和倒數第二段可知科學家是通過對兩地挖出的雞骨進行dna鑒定發現這個結果的。44. d。 事實細節題。由第二段第二句“by then, the inca people were already living in south america ...”可知the inca people在玻利尼西亞人到達南美洲之前,已經在那里居住了。45. c。 事實細節題。由第一段“centuries ago, however, crossing the open seas required thorough and accurate planning, handmade boats, and courage.”可知,跨海之旅要有計劃、有船,而且還需要勇氣,所以答案選擇c。4. 讀寫任務閱讀下面的短文,然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文: i like water gymnastics best for many reasons. first of all, i am a good swimmer. therefore, i am interested in all kinds of olympic swimming sports. especially, i am fond of water gymnastics for two major reasons-the amazing movements and those sexy and those very beautiful women swimmers. most importantly, i like the great music and their amazing performance in water ballet. when i watch this olympic sport, i can learn their professional techniques in swimming. for example, swimmers' performance is evaluated based on a series of predetermined elements. arm sections and figures, similar to those of figure skating, are also required, and all elements must be presented in a specific order. because synchronized (同步的) swimming routines require exceptional breath control, judges also take into consideration the ability of the swimmers to preserve the illusion (n.幻想) of effortlessness while holding their breath for up to two minutes.
