21、strange as it sounds.The eye-like patterns on butterfly wings are known to prevent preying birds and woodcutters in Indian forests wear masks on the backs of their heads when working to discourage hungry tigers.The inspiration for the iCow strategy came while Jordan was based in a village in Botswan
22、a,when two lionesses were killed by local farmers to revenge their cattles death.The African lion is a vulnerable species,with numbers dropping from over 100,000 in the 1990s to about 30,000 today.Much of that decline is due to these kinds of revengeful killings because farmers have no effective str

24、ted it.So he joined one of the local farmers on a 10-week trial study,painting eyes on one-third of a herd of 62 cattle. When the cattle returned each night,they took a head count to see how many had survived.Only three cows were killed by lions during this period-all without the painted eyes on the

28、nge on the lions.【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. C【解析】 本文属于科技类文章。本文主要介绍了一种叫 icow 的策略，让非洲狮子失去捕杀动物的兴趣，进而保护了他们。4. B推理判断题。根据第一段、二段可知是尼尔乔丹，想出了一个保护牲畜不被非洲狮捕猎的新方法：在它们的后面画上眼睛。狮子会认为他们的猎物已经看到他们而会放弃捕杀，这就是 the iCow，故选 B。5. D细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Lions are hunters that like to attack by surprise.”可知狮子是喜欢突然袭击的猎人。故选 D。6. D【名师点睛】词义猜
29、测型-依据逻辑推理猜测词义在阅读理解题中，所考查的词或短语的意义往往不停留在字面上，要根据短文提供的语境，通过阅读上下文，根据已知的信息或常识来推测尚不熟悉的词或词组的含义。运用逻辑推理猜测词义是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式。要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力，充分利用上下文中相关的词汇并结合具体的语境，从形式和内容上把握语言之间的内在联系，理顺语言之间的逻辑关系，进而达到猜词的目的。常见的逻辑关系有：因果关系，同位关系，对比关系，转折关系等。【解题剖析】此题属于猜测词义中的（4）：依据逻辑推理猜测词义。答案需要推断 a vulnerable species 和decline 因果关

32、ds of revengeful killings 因果关系AD.选项 easily damaged.7. C主旨大意题。根据最后一段中讲到一个为期 10 周的试验 “Only three cows were killed by lions during this period-all without the painted eyes on their behinds.And all the painted cows survived. However,Jordan warned that so far this is just a promising idea” ，被画了眼睛的牛没有被狮子杀
33、死，然而，Jordan 提醒说，到目前为止，这只是一个很有希望的想法。分析此段可知这个策略可能是带来很大益处的。故选 C。CThe shower,I find,is the best place to cry.The water covers the sound of my sadness,while washing away any evidence of my pain.I shower after the kids have gone to bed;its the only time I can be alone.I always did my best to protect my tw

42、1. D【解析】本文属于故事类文章。主要讲述了自己常在孩子睡觉时自己躲在卫生间哭泣，由此让孩子们误认为哭泣是不好的。这让作者反思，认识到应该教会孩子知道如何正确处理自己的悲伤。8. 细节理解题。根据第一段可知作者尽力不让孩子知道自己哭，但却鼓励孩子们该哭时要哭，故 B 是错误的。根据第一段中作者如果要哭的话是在孩子睡觉后在浴室哭，可知 C 是错误的，根据前三段尤其是第三段第一句可知作者平时不会让自己哭的，是怕孩子无所适从，故 D 是错误的。但在她父亲死后无法控制自己的情绪，故 A 是正确的。9. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“.Later,they found me hiding in the
43、bedroom one afternoon,weeping.” 后来，他们发现我在一个下午躲在卧室里哭泣，由此可知选 B。10. 推理判断题。根据第四段前两句“.I realized that in hiding my pain,I was only denying what it means to be human,I felt as if I had led my sons to believe that “negative“ emotions are only a concept,and not something they should possess.”我意识到，隐藏我的痛苦时，我只
44、是否定了哭泣对人类意味着什么，我觉得我好像让我的儿子相信“负面”情绪只是一个概念，而不是他们应该拥有的东西。以及在第二段中的“My 7-year-old prides himself on never crying at school.”7 岁的儿子自豪自己从不在学校哭。分析这两句可知孩子觉得我躲在卧室哭好像误导了儿子相信我不应该哭，故选 C。11. 主旨大意。通读本文可知作者为了保护孩子，从不在儿子面前哭泣，从而让孩子误认为哭泣是不对，因此作者最后认识到应该教会孩子知道如何正确处理自己的悲伤。故选 D。DVinegar makes salad,fries and dumplings tast
