二、完形填空
13.(8分)David had a new baby sister.She lay in a bassinet(婴儿摇篮)in the kitchen,and everyone thought she was wonderful.Aunt Sue came first thing in the morning to see her.She gave David a hug at the door and(1) him a package.But when he started to open it,she said,"This is for the baby.You and I will have a treat later this week." Slowly David walked outside.He had swept the front porch (门厅) this morning,even the leaves that were(2) in the corners—but Aunt Sue hadn't noticed.
He heard whistling down the block.It was Mr.Larkin,the mailman.David decided to meet him.He jumped all the way down the sidewalk on one foot and didn't even fail down.But Mr.Larkin just said,"I hear you have a new baby sister.Aren't you(3) ?"And he gave David the mail.
David walked with heavy steps back to the house.Mother and Aunt Sue were still talking,even though it was almost lunchtime.He put the mail on the table and(4) a peanut﹣butter﹣and﹣jelly sandwich.He made it just right.It wasn't even drippy (滴水的).
His brother Jeff,home from kindergarten,rushed into the kitchen.David held up his sandwich,"Look,Jeff.I made my own(5) ."But Jeff just nodded and said,"Guess what?The baby smiled at me!"David ate his sandwich.It wasn't that good after all.He could hardly taste the jelly.
The house was quiet.Mother and the baby were taking a nap,and Jeff was outside playing.David got out his crayons and drew a whole page of turtles,each a different color.The front door opened.It was his big sister Beth,home from high school.He took his picture in to show her.She smiled.Then she took out a little package and said, "Look,David.I got these little shoes for(6) .Aren't they cute?"

All of a sudden his stomach felt better.He gave his mother a big hug and took her hand."I'll show you."he said.He took her out on the porch."David,you swept the porch—you even got the leaves in the corners!"
He felt a big smile pop out on his face.He jumped down all the steps on one foot.She clapped."And you didn't even(7) ."
He took her back in the house to see his turtle picture.She looked at each turtle carefully."David,this is a wonderful picture.Let's put it up on the refrigerator,so Daddy can see it when he gets home." They walked together into the kitchen.There was the baby,still sleeping and making little wiggling noises.David looked at his mother,but she was busy taping his picture to the refrigerator.
He reached over and touched the baby's hand.She grabbed(抓住)his finger and held on(8) .A warm,wonderful feeling filled David.Mother walked over and put her arm around his shoulder. "I'm glad this baby has you for a big brother." David smiled up at his mother. "Me too."he said.

Do you have any hobbies?Many of us exercise,do volunteer work,or learn interesting skills in our spare time.What do you enjoy doing the most in your free time?

The most important skill I've learned is painting,which has played an important role in my life.Through painting,I become more patient and careful.It helps me study better at school.In short,painting is important for me.

I like writing when I'm free.I'm a big fan of the Harry Potter series,and three years ago I began to write a sequel (续集) to it.Since then,I've fallen in love with writing.I love it so much that I plan to go on practicing it and writing my own stories.

A Special Card
"Attention,everyone!" Miss Dalrymple looked at her class of ten﹣year﹣olds. "Today we are going to create a special card for Father's Day,which falls on this weekend." Then she busied herself handing out the paper and art materials to her noisy pupils.
They were a mixed punch.Some came from the rich side of the town,but the majorities (大部分) were from parents who struggled to get jobs.So she had not been eager to carry out this activity.
"Think about all the things that your dad does that makes him special,"she said loudly as she came up to the last table. "You can write a poem or short story that makes your dad special.The written part of this activity should be completed before you start to decorate your card."
Andrew looked at the blank page.He had never met,spoken to,or been hugged by his dad,so how could he write about him?Once when he was looking in his grandma's photo box,he had seen an old black and white photo but it was badly creased (弄皱) and difficult to recognize any clear features (特点).Grandma had quickly taken it from him and buried it deeply among the rest,never to be found again.After thinking for a while,he wrote:
Dear Dad,
You are a person I do not know and would probably not recognize as I only saw an old photo of you a long time ago.I think and wonder about you often,especially when I have no one to talk to.One day when I grow up I will do an Internet search to find you,but I am not sure whether I will be successful as several efforts by the Child Support Agency have not been successful.
Happy Father's Day,Dad.
Love,
Andrew

16.(6分)If you're a book lover,you have a pile of books on your bedside,or a bookshelf in your library with a "to read" sign on it.Yet you can't stop yourself from adding to the pile.This can lead to feelings of guilt over your new purchases.But I'm here to tell you to stop worrying.
What you have is an anti﹣library,and it's a very good thing.The term comes from writer Umberto Eco.He is the owner of a large personal library.He separates visitors into two groups;those who react with "Wow!What a library you have!How many of these books have you read?" and the others who get the point that a private library is not something to show off but a research tool.Read books are far less valuable than unread ones.Indeed,the more you know,the larger the rows of unread books.Let us call this collection an anti﹣library.
If you think you already know everything about a subject,you're cutting yourself off from a steam of information at an artificial (假的) point.So a growing library of books you haven't read means you're consistently curious about the unknown.And that attitude is a great basis for a lifelong love of learning.
So don't feel guilty over your unread books.Those books will be there for you when you do want them,and as you build your library of read and unread books,you can start using it as you would use a bigger library.Certain books may become references (参考书).
Letting the role of books evolve in your life is a healthy sign of curiosity.That's good for you and good for the world around you.
(1)What does the underlined word "anti﹣library" in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Feelings of guilt over new books.
B.A pile of books on the bookshelf.
C.The collection of unread books.
D.A large personal library.
(2)According to the author,more unread books mean .
A.your lifelong leaning attitude is wrong
B.you limit yourself from the unknown
C.you have known a lot about the world
D.you are eager to know the new world.
(3)What's the author' s attitude towards having an anti﹣library?
A.Negative.
B.Doubtful.
C.Supportive.
D.Uncertain.
17.(8分)Do you know we are living in the world of mass media?Mass media are tools of communication and allow us to record and pass information rapidly to a large,scattered (分散的) audience.However,have you imagined what life would be without the media?Are you a media user who would go mad after two hours without TV,friend requests,exciting online games and your mobile—or would you easily survive?
Recently,university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called Unplugged.It was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban (禁止) by unplugging (拔插头) all forms of media devices (设备) for 24 hours.
Unplugged is being run by Dr.Roman Gerodimos,a lecturer in Communication and Journalism at Bournemouth University.The experiment is now over but he doesn't yet know the full findings.However,during the experiment,Dr.Gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers.He said: "They're reporting withdrawal (孤僻) signs,overeating,feeling nervous,isolated and disconnected."
During their 24﹣hour unpleasant experience,three volunteers had to put up with one interruption from the media:a BBC reporter plus cameraman who followed them around for the day.They were asked to write down 100 lines about their day offline,but of course,they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops.Elliot Day wrote: "Today,my whole morning routine was thrown up into the air.Despite being aware of the social importance of the media,I was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers."
From Caroline Scott,we read: "I didn't expect it,but being taken away from the media for 24 hours resulted in my day﹣to﹣day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usual...I didn't break out in a cold sweat like Dr.Roman Gerodimos expected us all to,but it's not something I would like to do again!"
And Charlotte Gay wrote: "I have to say the most difficult item for me to be has been without my mobile;not only is it a social thing,it's my main point of communication."
Earlier in the year,a UK government study found that in the UK we spend about half our waking hours using the media,often plugged into several things at once.And a recent study by Nielson found that on average,US teenagers send and receive over 3,000 texts per month—that's about six texts per waking hour.
So,with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate,how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future?
(1)According to the passage,what do you learn about the global experiment called Unplugged?
A.The experiment was carried out by US and UK governments.
B.The volunteers of the experiment are all university students.
C.It has been carried out among all the students in the world.
D.Its findings proved that Dr.Gerodimos' expectations were true.
(2)According to what the three volunteers wrote during the experiment,we can learn that .
A.they all feel very surprised and worried
B.all of them feel their life is peaceful without a mobile
C.it is hard for them to spend the 24 hours without the media
D.it makes them realize the social importance of the mobile
(3)What does the writer think about the mass media?
A.He prefers not to live with it
B.He thinks highly of it.
C.He worries about its influence.
D.He is not sure about its future.
(4)What can be the best title of the passage?
A.Hello,technology!
B.The young's lives,a mess?
C.Welcome,information age!
D.Mass media,a lifelong partner?

18.(10分)Meet﹣a﹣scientist:Anne
Have you ever played with K'nex,Lego,or Mechana?Anne loved playing with toys to build things.She was interested in trying to understand how different pieces could fit together.She made up a system that turned on the light switch,like a Rube Goldberg machine!
Although she loved trying to do new things,this early science exploration wasn't always easy for Anne.She remembers getting upset when she couldn't understand how to get a Lego Robot to do what she wanted.Her dad told her: "Getting upset with a lack of progress is normal.When that happens,just take a break and then come back to it when it feels fun again!"
When Anne went to middle school,she was required to do a project for the science fair.Her first project was on soaking (浸泡) different kinds of wood in water and then seeing how much of a load (负载) they could hold before breaking.By following the steps of the scientific method and then creating a good presentation,she received recognition at the science fair.She says: "Even though I didn't win,that helped prove myself that I was possibly good at science."
So why go into science professionally?Anne says, "It was the most interesting thing I'd ever done.I have never run out of interesting things to learn about and I really like learning things.There are always unanswered questions,and they are the kind of questions that I find interesting!Even if other people already know the answers and you could look it up online,teaching yourself the process of finding answers is more important than finding the answers."
(1)What was she interested in?
(2)Was the early science exploration easy for her?
(3)When was she required to do a project for the science fair?
(4)How did she received recognition at the science fair?
(5)What makes her succeed?

21.(10分)Perfectly Imperfect
The artist Leonardo da Vinci,perhaps best known for painting the Mona Lisa,produced a drawing called the Vitruvian Man.In it,da Vinci showed his idea of the perfectly sized male body.But is this really what a perfect body looks like?
An imperfect man
Consider Michael Phelps.The winningest swimmer of all time,Phelps earned 28 Olympic medals.His body does not look like the Vitruvian Man.In fact,Phelps' body is quite unusual.The best swimmers tend to have long torsos (躯干) and short legs.Phelps is 6 feet 4 inches tall,but his torso is as long as what you would expect to see in a man who is 6 feet 8 inches tall.His legs are the length typical of a man who is 5 feet 10 inches.Phelps has long arms too.Like the Vitruvian Man,most people have a wingspan roughly the same as their height.Phelps' wingspan is 6 feet 7 inches,three inches longer than his height.
His ankles are extremely flexible and his feet are big.So Phelps' legs act like flippers (脚蹼) when he swims.
No one could argue that Phelps has a perfect body in da Vinci's sense.But is it correct to say it is imperfect?What does "perfection" mean when we are talking about human biology?Does it even exist?
What is physical perfection?
Maybe perfection has more to do with how a body works than how it looks.How we work actually depends upon how well we fit into our environment.
Here's an example from the animal kingdom.Imagine brown rabbits and white rabbits in a snowy field.Under these conditions,predators (捕食者) are less likely to see and catch the white rabbits.In a summertime field—all brown soil and green and golden plants—white rabbits are more visible (可见的) and easier to catch.Neither white nor brown fur is perfect for rabbit survival.Rabbits need different bodies for different seasons.And in fact,in some types of rabbits,fur color changes with the seasons.Like rabbits,all living things adapt to their environments.They need some changes to help thrive (茁壮成长) in their specific environments.But evolution (演变) isn't engineering.Often,imperfections that don't affect survival too badly get passed down through the generations.
Variation (变化) as a way to success
Michael Phelps' body is not perfectly symmetrical (对称的)or balanced.His physical variations,however,may have given him the advantages to be a close﹣to﹣perfect swimmer.Phelps' case is not the only one;top athletes show great variability that provides them with the physical characteristics to approach perfection in action.Usain Bolt,an Olympic sprinter (短跑运动员),has legs so long that it takes him four to five fewer steps to complete a 100﹣meter race than his competitors.
Simone Biles,another Olympic gold medalist,is both strong and small.It is perfect for her sport of gymnastics.She may also have a better﹣than﹣average ability to sense where her body is in space,perhaps making jumps easier than it would be for an average person.No athlete is born with the skills to win gold medals,though.Those achievements require years of effort.
Using variation to your advantage
Da Vinci's drawing of the Vitruvian Man put maths and art together.To da Vinci,the Vitruvian Man showed perfect proportions (比例).It was his image of the perfectly formed man.Da Vinci is a time﹣honored artist,but is there really such a thing as a perfect body?
No.
In biology,there is no such thing as one perfect body.In fact,variation in all living things,including us,is the rule.This variation is important for our life.Human variation has allowed us to live in wildly different environments—the tropics,deserts,and the Arctic—and to develop many different physical,mental,and emotional talents.Not only is there no perfect human body,but also our species thrives because we are different from one another,each of us suited to our own way of living.
(1)In the first paragraph,the Vitruvian Man is mentioned to .
A.introduce the topic of a perfect body
B.explain the value of a famous drawing
C.explore how to draw a picture like this
D.discuss whether the man drawn in it is perfect
(2)Why does the author use Michael Phelps as an example?
A.To explain what makes a perfect swimmer.
B.To describe the rules in the swimming world.
C.To introduce a perfect body in da Vinci's sense.
D.To compare it with the perfection that was shown in the drawing by da Vinci
(3)What can we learn from the rabbit example in Paragraph 6?
A.Physical imperfections influence the process of evolution.
B.Rabbits learn to change their fur color to avoid predators.
C.Evolution only chooses for physical perfections in living things.
D.Physical perfection in one situation can be imperfect in another.
(4)Paragraphs 7 & 8 mainly talk about .
A.born talents of several famous athletes
B.applications of physical variations in the athletic field
C.physical differences between male and female athletes
D.the importance of physical variations to athletic success
(5)The purpose of the article is to .
A.explain the influence of da Vinci
B.argue that there is no perfect physical form
C.discuss whether some athletes are physically perfect
D.teach readers how to tell physical perfection from imperfection

A Special Card
"Attention,everyone!" Miss Dalrymple looked at her class of ten﹣year﹣olds. "Today we are going to create a special card for Father's Day,which falls on this weekend." Then she busied herself handing out the paper and art materials to her noisy pupils.
They were a mixed punch.Some came from the rich side of the town,but the majorities (大部分) were from parents who struggled to get jobs.So she had not been eager to carry out this activity.
"Think about all the things that your dad does that makes him special,"she said loudly as she came up to the last table. "You can write a poem or short story that makes your dad special.The written part of this activity should be completed before you start to decorate your card."
Andrew looked at the blank page.He had never met,spoken to,or been hugged by his dad,so how could he write about him?Once when he was looking in his grandma's photo box,he had seen an old black and white photo but it was badly creased (弄皱) and difficult to recognize any clear features (特点).Grandma had quickly taken it from him and buried it deeply among the rest,never to be found again.After thinking for a while,he wrote:
Dear Dad,
You are a person I do not know and would probably not recognize as I only saw an old photo of you a long time ago.I think and wonder about you often,especially when I have no one to talk to.One day when I grow up I will do an Internet search to find you,but I am not sure whether I will be successful as several efforts by the Child Support Agency have not been successful.
Happy Father's Day,Dad.
Love,
Andrew

16.(6分)If you're a book lover,you have a pile of books on your bedside,or a bookshelf in your library with a "to read" sign on it.Yet you can't stop yourself from adding to the pile.This can lead to feelings of guilt over your new purchases.But I'm here to tell you to stop worrying.
What you have is an anti﹣library,and it's a very good thing.The term comes from writer Umberto Eco.He is the owner of a large personal library.He separates visitors into two groups;those who react with "Wow!What a library you have!How many of these books have you read?" and the others who get the point that a private library is not something to show off but a research tool.Read books are far less valuable than unread ones.Indeed,the more you know,the larger the rows of unread books.Let us call this collection an anti﹣library.
If you think you already know everything about a subject,you're cutting yourself off from a steam of information at an artificial (假的) point.So a growing library of books you haven't read means you're consistently curious about the unknown.And that attitude is a great basis for a lifelong love of learning.
So don't feel guilty over your unread books.Those books will be there for you when you do want them,and as you build your library of read and unread books,you can start using it as you would use a bigger library.Certain books may become references (参考书).
Letting the role of books evolve in your life is a healthy sign of curiosity.That's good for you and good for the world around you.
(1)What does the underlined word "anti﹣library" in Paragraph 2 mean? C
A.Feelings of guilt over new books.
B.A pile of books on the bookshelf.
C.The collection of unread books.
D.A large personal library.
(2)According to the author,more unread books mean D .
A.your lifelong leaning attitude is wrong
B.you limit yourself from the unknown
C.you have known a lot about the world
D.you are eager to know the new world.
(3)What's the author' s attitude towards having an anti﹣library? C
A.Negative.
B.Doubtful.
C.Supportive.
D.Uncertain.
【分析】本文主要讲述了收藏未读书籍这一行为是非常好的,收藏更多未读书籍意味着你对未知事物的强烈渴望。
【解答】(1)C.词义猜测题。根据Read books are far less valuable than unread ones.Indeed,the more you know,the larger the rows of unread books.Let us call this collection an anti﹣libray.读过的书远不如没读过的书有价值。事实上,你知道的越多,未读的书就越多。让我们称这个收藏为anti﹣library.联系前后句可猜测出下划线单词anti﹣library的意思应为:未读书籍的收藏。故选C。
(2)D.推理判断题。根据So a growing library of books you haven't read means you're consistently curious about the unknown.因此,你没有读过的书越来越多,这意味着你一直对未知事物充满好奇。可推断出根据作者的说法,更多的未读书籍意味着你渴望了解新世界。故选D。
(3)C.推理判断题。根据Letting the role of books evolve in your life is a healthy sign of curiosity.That's good for you and good for the world around you.让书籍在你的生活中发挥作用是好奇心的健康表现。这对你和你周围的世界都有好处。可推断出作者对于收藏未读书籍这一行为持支持态度。故选C。
17.(8分)Do you know we are living in the world of mass media?Mass media are tools of communication and allow us to record and pass information rapidly to a large,scattered (分散的) audience.However,have you imagined what life would be without the media?Are you a media user who would go mad after two hours without TV,friend requests,exciting online games and your mobile—or would you easily survive?
Recently,university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called Unplugged.It was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban (禁止) by unplugging (拔插头) all forms of media devices (设备) for 24 hours.
Unplugged is being run by Dr.Roman Gerodimos,a lecturer in Communication and Journalism at Bournemouth University.The experiment is now over but he doesn't yet know the full findings.However,during the experiment,Dr.Gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers.He said: "They're reporting withdrawal (孤僻) signs,overeating,feeling nervous,isolated and disconnected."
During their 24﹣hour unpleasant experience,three volunteers had to put up with one interruption from the media:a BBC reporter plus cameraman who followed them around for the day.They were asked to write down 100 lines about their day offline,but of course,they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops.Elliot Day wrote: "Today,my whole morning routine was thrown up into the air.Despite being aware of the social importance of the media,I was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers."
From Caroline Scott,we read: "I didn't expect it,but being taken away from the media for 24 hours resulted in my day﹣to﹣day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usual...I didn't break out in a cold sweat like Dr.Roman Gerodimos expected us all to,but it's not something I would like to do again!"
And Charlotte Gay wrote: "I have to say the most difficult item for me to be has been without my mobile;not only is it a social thing,it's my main point of communication."
Earlier in the year,a UK government study found that in the UK we spend about half our waking hours using the media,often plugged into several things at once.And a recent study by Nielson found that on average,US teenagers send and receive over 3,000 texts per month—that's about six texts per waking hour.
So,with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate,how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future?
(1)According to the passage,what do you learn about the global experiment called Unplugged? B
A.The experiment was carried out by US and UK governments.
B.The volunteers of the experiment are all university students.
C.It has been carried out among all the students in the world.
D.Its findings proved that Dr.Gerodimos' expectations were true.
(2)According to what the three volunteers wrote during the experiment,we can learn that D .
A.they all feel very surprised and worried
B.all of them feel their life is peaceful without a mobile
C.it is hard for them to spend the 24 hours without the media
D.it makes them realize the social importance of the mobile
(3)What does the writer think about the mass media? C
A.He prefers not to live with it
B.He thinks highly of it.
C.He worries about its influence.
D.He is not sure about its future.
(4)What can be the best title of the passage? D
A.Hello,technology!
B.The young's lives,a mess?
C.Welcome,information age!
D.Mass media,a lifelong partner?
【分析】本文讲述的是大众传媒对人们生活的影响,通过一个"拔掉电源"的全球实验,来了解人们对全面禁止媒体的反应。
【解答】(1)B 推理判断题。根据Recently,university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called Unplugged.最近,世界各地大学生被要求自愿参加一个名为"拔掉电源"的全球实验。由此可知,参加实验的志愿者都是大学生,故选B。
(2)D 推理判断题。根据三个人的描述:Elliot Day wrote:Despite being aware of the social importance of the media;尽管意识到媒体的社会重要性。From Caroline Scott,we read:"I didn't expect it,but being taken away from the media for 24 hours resulted in my day﹣to﹣day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usual";从卡罗琳•斯科特(Caroline Scott)那里,我们读到:"我没有料到,但被媒体带走24小时,导致我的日常活动变得比平时更难进行。"And Charlotte Gay wrote:not only is it a social gadget,it's my main access point of communication.夏洛特•盖伊写道:它不仅是一个社交工具,也是我交流的主要渠道。由此可知,三个志愿者在实验中都意识到手机的社会重要性,故选D。
(3)C 细节理解题。根据So,with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate,how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future?那么,随着科技以惊人的速度发展,你将来会留出多少时间睡觉呢?由此可推知,作者是很担心大众媒体对人们的影响的,故选C。
(4)D 标题归纳题。通读全文可知,本文讲述的是大众传媒对人们生活的影响,通过一个"拔掉电源"的全球实验,来了解人们对全面禁止媒体的反应。同时作者也表示了对大众传媒的担忧。结合选项D.Mass media,a lifelong partner?大众传媒,终身伴侣?可知D选项符合题意,故选D。

21.(10分)Perfectly Imperfect
The artist Leonardo da Vinci,perhaps best known for painting the Mona Lisa,produced a drawing called the Vitruvian Man.In it,da Vinci showed his idea of the perfectly sized male body.But is this really what a perfect body looks like?
An imperfect man
Consider Michael Phelps.The winningest swimmer of all time,Phelps earned 28 Olympic medals.His body does not look like the Vitruvian Man.In fact,Phelps' body is quite unusual.The best swimmers tend to have long torsos (躯干) and short legs.Phelps is 6 feet 4 inches tall,but his torso is as long as what you would expect to see in a man who is 6 feet 8 inches tall.His legs are the length typical of a man who is 5 feet 10 inches.Phelps has long arms too.Like the Vitruvian Man,most people have a wingspan roughly the same as their height.Phelps' wingspan is 6 feet 7 inches,three inches longer than his height.
His ankles are extremely flexible and his feet are big.So Phelps' legs act like flippers (脚蹼) when he swims.
No one could argue that Phelps has a perfect body in da Vinci's sense.But is it correct to say it is imperfect?What does "perfection" mean when we are talking about human biology?Does it even exist?
What is physical perfection?
Maybe perfection has more to do with how a body works than how it looks.How we work actually depends upon how well we fit into our environment.
Here's an example from the animal kingdom.Imagine brown rabbits and white rabbits in a snowy field.Under these conditions,predators (捕食者) are less likely to see and catch the white rabbits.In a summertime field—all brown soil and green and golden plants—white rabbits are more visible (可见的) and easier to catch.Neither white nor brown fur is perfect for rabbit survival.Rabbits need different bodies for different seasons.And in fact,in some types of rabbits,fur color changes with the seasons.Like rabbits,all living things adapt to their environments.They need some changes to help thrive (茁壮成长) in their specific environments.But evolution (演变) isn't engineering.Often,imperfections that don't affect survival too badly get passed down through the generations.
Variation (变化) as a way to success
Michael Phelps' body is not perfectly symmetrical (对称的)or balanced.His physical variations,however,may have given him the advantages to be a close﹣to﹣perfect swimmer.Phelps' case is not the only one;top athletes show great variability that provides them with the physical characteristics to approach perfection in action.Usain Bolt,an Olympic sprinter (短跑运动员),has legs so long that it takes him four to five fewer steps to complete a 100﹣meter race than his competitors.
Simone Biles,another Olympic gold medalist,is both strong and small.It is perfect for her sport of gymnastics.She may also have a better﹣than﹣average ability to sense where her body is in space,perhaps making jumps easier than it would be for an average person.No athlete is born with the skills to win gold medals,though.Those achievements require years of effort.
Using variation to your advantage
Da Vinci's drawing of the Vitruvian Man put maths and art together.To da Vinci,the Vitruvian Man showed perfect proportions (比例).It was his image of the perfectly formed man.Da Vinci is a time﹣honored artist,but is there really such a thing as a perfect body?
No.
In biology,there is no such thing as one perfect body.In fact,variation in all living things,including us,is the rule.This variation is important for our life.Human variation has allowed us to live in wildly different environments—the tropics,deserts,and the Arctic—and to develop many different physical,mental,and emotional talents.Not only is there no perfect human body,but also our species thrives because we are different from one another,each of us suited to our own way of living.

【分析】本文主要通过达芬奇的一幅画,引发了作者对完美身材的争论。作者认为在生物学中,没有一个完美的身体。
【解答】(1)A 细节理解题。根据In it,da Vinci showed his idea of the perfectly sized male body.在这幅画里,达芬奇展示了他对完美男性身材的看法。可知是为了介绍完美身材的主题,故选A。
(2)D 细节理解题。根据His body does not look like the Vitruvian Man.In fact,Phelps' body is quite unusual.他的身体看起来不像Vitruvian Man。事实上,Phelps的身体很不寻常。可知是为了将其与达芬奇绘画中所表现的完美相比较,故选D。
(3)D 细节理解题。根据And in fact,in some types of rabbits,fur color changes with the seasons.Like rabbits,all living things adapt to their environments.事实上,在某些种类的兔子身上,皮毛的颜色会随着季节的变化而变化。像兔子一样,所有生物都适应环境。可知在一种情况下身体上的完美,可能在另一种情况下就是不完美的,故选D。
(4)D 段落大意题。根据Variation (变化) as a way to success.作为成功之道的变化。可知这两段主要讲了身体变化对运动成功的重要性,故选D。
(5)B 写作意图题。根据In biology,there is no such thing as one perfect body.在生物学中,没有一个完美的身体。可知这篇文章的目的是为了说明没有完美的身体形态,故选B。
