[答案与考点解析]
1.【答案】D
【考点解析】这是一道审题定位题型。
该题的答案信息在第二段的第一句,根据本句的内容即可得出本题的正确答案是D。
考生要加强对题干的理解和认识,并且要善于找到原文和题干相吻合之处,否则就会失去解题思路。
2.【答案】B
【考点解析】本题是一道句间关系题型。
本题的答案信息在尾段的第一、二句和尾段的倒数第一、二句。
从尾段的第二句“Eachhypothesishasitsdifficulties”(每种假设都有缺陷)可以判断:
作者认为“从浪尖上伴轻风飞起”是不可能的。
考生要加强对句子之间语意关系的理解。
3.【答案】C
【考点解析】本题是一道审题定位题。
其答案信息在第三段。
题干中问翼龙和鸟类骨骼方面的“不同”。
原文第三段中涉及两者相同与不同。
第三段的尾句暗示本题的正确答案是C。
考生在解题时应加强审题定位的能力。
4.【答案】B
【考点解析】这是一道归纳推导题。
本题的正确答案在第四段的第一、二、三句。
这三句话的内容暗示本题的正确答案是B,即动物的外型通常受环境要求和生理能力的影响。
考生在解题时应注意提高对原文信息的归纳推导能力。
5.【答案】B
【考点解析】本题是一道段落结构识别题。
尾段的第一句对所谈现象提出了三种解释,然后针对每一种解释进行科学上的否定。
可见本题的正确答案是B。
考生在复习中应该加强对段落结构的识别能力。
[参考译文]
第一批会飞的脊椎动物——翼龙的化石,已经让古生物学家感兴趣达两个多世纪了。
这种有时和大型滑翔机一样重,而且翅膀展开达8—12米宽的庞然大物是如何克服飞行时的重力,以及这种生物到底是属于鸟类还是爬行动物,对科学家们来讲仍旧是个谜。
可能,最少引起争论的意见就是翼龙是爬行动物。
它们的头盖骨、骨盆以及后腿都是爬行动物类型。
对它们翅膀的解剖学研究证明它们尚未进化为鸟。
翼龙每个前肢的大大延长的第四指支撑一个翅膀状的薄膜,其它指头小,而且是典型的爬行动物式,有尖爪。
而鸟类的第二指进化成为翅膀的主要支架,翅膀也主要是羽毛构成的。
当翼龙四肢爬行时,其它指可以用来抓取。
而当它行走或不动时,第四指,连同翅膀,只能向上伸展,在身体两侧呈倒转的V字型。
翼龙和鸟类以及蝙蝠在总体结构及比例上很相似。
这并不奇怪,因为任何飞翔脊椎动物都要受空气动力的约束。
翼龙和鸟都有中空的骨头,这是为了节省重量。
不过在鸟类中,这种骨头受内部支柱影响,重量大大增加。
尽管爬行动物通常全身鳞片,翼龙却可能拥有毛发。
赫胥黎对此解释说,飞翔脊椎动物肯定已经是热血动物,因为飞翔要求一个高新陈代谢率,后者要求一个较高的体温。
赫氏设想一层毛发覆盖物可以隔绝身体热量的损失,从而使身体在减轻飞行重量方面更为有效。
最近一些有又长又密且厚的毛发的翼龙化石的发现,终于明白无误地证明赫氏的观点是对的。
解释翼龙怎样起飞的努力产生以下设想:
它们从悬崖上起跳,或从树上起跳或者甚至从浪尖上伴轻风飞起。
每种假设都有缺陷。
第一种错误地设想翼龙的后爪象蝙蝠一样,钩子似的挂着为飞行做准备。
第二种看来也不可能,因为大型翼龙不可能降在树上而不伤害它们的翅膀。
第三种假设必须要有高浪来形成上升气流才能实现。
然而,能产生此种大浪的风可能对翼龙来说过于猛烈,以至于它一旦升空,就无法控制自己。
