题目内容
12.Recently,scientists have found that dogs are smarter than cats.The reason is (25)that dogs have bigger brains because friendly,social mammals need (26)more (much) grey matter than solitary ones.The findings come from a study into the brain size of more than 500species of living and fossilized mammals.
The scientists studied the evolution of mammal brains over the last 60million years----from a few million years after the dinosaurs (27)became (become) extinct to the modern day.They discovered that there is a strong link (28)between the size of a brain relative to an animal's body and (29)how sociable that creature is.
Sociable mammals such as whales,dogs,dolphins and humans tend (30)to have (have) much larger brains compared to their bodies.Solitary species such as tigers,cats and rhinos have less grey matter,the scientists found.
"It is interesting to see that even animals that have contact with humans,like cats,(31)have(have) much smaller brains than dogs and horses because of their lack of sociability,"said a scientist."We humans are even more social than monkeys and apes and it is this ability (32)to get(get) on with each other that has helped us rule the planet."
分析 本文主要写了动物的大脑的大小与动物的社交能力.
解答 25.that 考查固定句型. the reason is that 是由that 引导的表语从句,that位于be动词之后,也做引导词,不能省略.所以答案填that.
26.more 考查固定句型.形容词/副词比较级+than是比较级的一种表达方式,much的比较级是more,所以答案填more.
27.became 考查时态.恐龙灭绝要用过去时,became是become的过去时,所以答案填became.
28.between 考查介词.根据句意:大脑相对于动物身体的大小和这种动物的社交能力之间有着密切的联系.between"在…之间",所以答案填between.
29.how 考查因为代词. 根据句意:如何交际.how引导方式状语.
30.to have 考查固定短语. tend to do 倾向于做某事,所以答案填to have,
31.have 考查谓语.本句中的主语是cats,可数名词的复数形式,所以谓语动词用have.
32.to get 考查非谓语.to do 不定式在此处做名词ability的定语,"相处得能力",所以答案填to get.
点评 首先要通读全文,了解大意,抓住上下文语境所提供的信息,明确空格所要填的词义,词型和短语搭配,给出所要填的正确形式,然后整体阅读,核对答案.
