5.Every day we experience one of the wonders of the world around us without even realizing it.It is not the amazing complexity of television,nor the impressive technology of transport.The universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noises with our mouths,and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each other's minds.This ability comes so naturally that tend to forget what a miracle(奇迹)it is.
Obviously,the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animals.Of course,some animals have powers just as amazing.Birds can fly thousands of miles by observing positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day and year.In Nature's went show,humans are a species of animal that have developed their own special act.If we reduce it to basic terms,it's a ability for communicating information to others,by varying sounds we make as we breathe out.
Not that we don't have other powers of communication.Our facial expressions convey our emotions,such as anger,or joy,or disappointment.The way we hold our beads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad.This is so-called"body language".Bristling(直立的)fur is an unmistakable warning of attack among many animals.Similarly,the bowed bead or drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering.
Such a means of communication is a basic mechanism that animals,including human beings,instinctively acquire and display.Is the ability to speak just another sort of instinct?If so,how did human beings acquire this amazing skill?Biologists can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms function,but this doesn't tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history.

72.According to the passage,the wonder we take for granted isA.
A.our ability to use language
B.the miracle of technology
C.the amazing power of nature
D.our ability to make noises with mouth
73.What feature of"body language"mentioned in the passage is common to both humans and animals?D
A.Lifting heads when sad.
B.Keeping long faces when angry.
C.Bristling hair when ready to attack.
D.Bowing heads when willing to obey.
74.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?D
A.Body language is unique to humans.
B.Animals express emotions just as humans do.
C.Humans have other powers of communication.
D.Humans are no different from animals to some degree.
75.This passage is mainly aboutC.
A.the development of body language.
B.the special role humans play in nature.
C.the power to convey information to others.
D.the difference between humans and animals in language use.

分析 本文是介绍关于人类使用语言的能力的说明文,主要阐述人区分动物的特殊能力及其相似性. 每天我们在没有意识到的时候我们经历一个世界奇迹,那就是我们用嘴巴发出声音并能传播思想和思考对方的想法的能力,这种能力过于平常往往忘记这个奇迹.说话的能力是标志人类与动物的区别,有些动物一样有惊人的能力,人类是一种已形成了自己特殊的行为的动物,它是通过我们呼吸时发出的不同的声音与他人交流信息的一种能力.还可以通过肢体语言来沟通交流,人类大脑的特定区域语言机制功能使得人类能获得惊人的技能.

解答 72.A   细节理解题.根据第一段倒数第二句话"The universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noise without mouths,and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each other's minds"可知,我们把使用语言的能力这个奇迹当做理所当然.B,C选项与文章不符,在第一段第二句话中可得知.D选项易误导学生,在文章中虽然有原话,但一句话没有说完,关键是通过嘴巴发出的声音去给其他人传递信息.所以D选项也是错误的,故选A. 
73.D  细节理解题. 根据第三段最后一句话"Similarly,the bowed head or drooping tail shows ….."可知,乐意服从时低头是人类和动物共同的肢体语言.A和B选项描绘的是人的肢体语言特征.C 选项描绘的是动物的肢体语言.故选D.
74.D   推理判断题.根据第三段后三句话"The way we hold our beads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad.This is so-called"body language".Bristling(直立的)fur is an unmistakable warning of attack among many animals.Similarly,the bowed bead or drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering."可知,人类在某种程度上和动物没有不同.从段落中可得知A,B,C 均与文章不符. 故选D.
75.C   主旨大意题. 整篇文章谈论的都是给他人传递信息的力量,使用语言的能力.A,B选项文章未提及.D选项较片面,文章第三段中提到了相似点和差异二种. 故选C.

点评 解答细节理解题时,一个常用的方法就是运用定位法,即根据题干和选项中的关键词从原文中找到相关的句子,与选项进行比较从而确定答案;推理判断题既要求学生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思,又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断,力求从作者的角度去考虑,不要固守自己的看法或观点.

17.When dolphins get caught accidentally in fishing nets,the outcome is usually terrible.They either get injured or spend their lives in captivity (被关起来) entertaining humans.But while  13-year-old Sampal's story began that way,it has a perfect fairy-tale ending.
     Sampal's story began in 2011,when she was accidentally caught by fishermen in the waters off South Korea.However,instead of letting her go,the men sold her to an aquarium.Here,she was placed in a small pool where she spent her days performing tricks for visitors.
Sampal was not destined to spend  her life in captivity.it Shocked by the conditions she was living in,South Korean animal advocates began to help her get free.In 2013,the country's highest court issued a release order for not just Sampal,but also another two dolphins at the Korean Zoo.
      At the end of May,the dolphins were handed to the Korean Animal Welfare Association where experts began their work to set the dolphins free,a two-month process that involves placing them inside a sea pen in the open waters.However,Sampal was too impatient to wait that long.On June 22nd,the clever little dolphin found a tiny tear in the net and escaped.
.For those of you wondering if Sarupal may have been a little hurried in her departure,here is some better news.Researchers recently tracked her down 60 miles from where she had escaped and found she was swimming happily with 50 0ther dolphins that they believe were members of the group she was originally swimming with three years ago.
      As for the others'?One of them is reportedly hanging out with two dolphins from its original  group,while the other still seems to be looking for the right group to join.The best news is that all  of them seem to have forgotten their captivity experience and appear to be playing happily!
