答案精析
Ⅰ.
语篇解读 本文讲述的是无名指和食指的测量可能是有用的,因为我们可以通过测量来预测激素水平。
1.D [细节理解题。
根据第一段第二、三句可知男性无名指通常比食指长,女性无名指和食指差不多一样长。
故选D。
]
2.C [观点态度题。
第二段作者只是陈述MarkBrosnan研究的过程和结果;最后一段作者分别陈述了Brosnan的观点和其他人的看法。
文中作者并没有表达自己的观点,所以说作者对Brosnan的研究持中立观点,故选C。
]
3.D [推理判断题。
根据第二段最后一句可知,女孩无名指和食指比率越高,语言能力越强,故A项错误。
根据最后一段中的“wearenotsuggestingthatfingerlengthmeasurementscouldreplaceSATtests”可知,手指长度不能代替学业测试,故B项错误。
根据第三段第一句可知C项错误。
根据第二段前两句可知,Brosnan对这项研究很严肃认真。
故选D项。
]
4.B [主旨大意题。
文章分析了男性和女性无名指和食指的比率不同,对学习内容有一定的影响,由此表明对手指长度研究的作用。

]
6.D [推理判断题。
根据倒数第三段内容尤其是最后两句“Bycontrast,insectsproducerelativelyfewgreenhousegasesandraisingthemrequiresmuchlesslandandwater.Andtheyeatalmostanything.”可推断出人类吃昆虫对环境造成的危害更少,故选D。
]
7.C [细节理解题。
由文章最后一段可知,把昆虫的营养物质放入其他食物里,这样我们更容易接受吃昆虫,故选C。
]
Ⅱ.
