10、nce involves（涉及）serious complications（复杂化），.”可得知March认为人们高估了经验的作用。3B细节理解题。根据第3段“The more accurately（精确的）reality is presented，the less understandable the story，and the more understandable the story, the less realistic it is.”可判断正确答案为B。4A 推理判断题。此题判断作者的写作意图。从首段最末一句“he continues to do so in his new book

11、 The Ambiguities of Experience.”及末段“Though the book is short, it is demanding；Dont pick it up looking for quick, easy lessons.”可推断出本文是介绍March所著的这本书。 阅读理解。If a diver surfaces too quickly，he may suffer the bends.Nitrogen(氮)dissolved(溶解)in his blood is suddenly liberated by the reduction of pressure.Th

13、g ago, did ichthyosaurs.That these ancient sea animals got the bends can be seen from their bones.If bubbles of nitrogen form inside the bone they can cut off its blood supply.This kills the cells in the bone，and consequently weakens it，sometimes to the point of collapse.Fossil(化石) bones that have c

14、aved in on themselves are thus a sign that the animal once had the bends.Bruce Rothschild of the University of Kansas knew all this when he began a study of ichthyosaur bones to find out how widespread the problem was in the past.What he particularly wanted to investigate was how ichthyosaurs adapte

15、d to the problem of decompression over the 150 million years.To this end, he and his colleagues traveled the worlds naturalhistory museums, looking at hundreds of ichthyosaurs from the Triassic period and from the later Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.When he started, he assumed that signs of the be

16、nds would be rarer in younger fossils, reflecting their gradual evolution of measures to deal with decompression.Instead，he was astonished to discover the opposite.More than 15% of Jurassic and Cretaceous ichthyosaurs had suffered the bends before they died，but not a single Triassic specimen(标本)show

17、ed evidence of that sort of injury.If ichthyosaurs did evolve an antidecompression means, they clearly did so quicklyand, most strangely, they lost it afterwards.But that is not what Dr Rothschild thinks happened.He suspects it was evolution in other animals that caused the change.Whales that suffer

18、 the bends often do so because they have surfaced to escape a predator (捕食动物)such as a large shark.One of the features of Jurassic oceans was an abundance of large sharks and crocodiles，both of which were fond of ichthyosaur lunches.Triassic oceans，by contrast，were mercifully shark and crocodilefree

19、.In the Triassic, then, ichthyosaurs were top of the food chain.In the Jurassic and Cretaceous，they were prey(猎物)as well as predatorand often had to make a speedy exit as a result.61Which of the following is a typical symptom of the bends?AA twisted body.BA gradual decrease in blood supply.CA sudden

20、 release of nitrogen in blood.DA drop in blood pressure.62The purpose of Rothschilds study is to see _Ahow often ichthyosaurs caught the bendsBhow ichthyosaurs adapted to decompressionCwhy ichthyosaurs bent their bodiesDwhen ichthyosaurs broke their bones63Rothschilds finding stated in Paragraph 4 _

21、Aconfirmed his assumption Bspeeded up his research processCdisagreed with his assumption Dchanged his research objectives64Rothschild might have concluded that ichthyosaurs _.Afailed to evolve an antidecompression meansBgradually developed measures against the bendsCdied out because of large sharks

22、and crocodilesDevolved an antidecompression means but soon lost it【要点综述】 本篇为科普说明文，讲述鱼龙患减压病的原因和后果。Dr Rothschild通过实验推翻了关于鱼龙进化的一些猜测。61A细节理解题。根据the bends可定位到首段。由“The consequenceis sharp pain and a bent bodythus the name.”可知答案，a bent body和a twisted body是同义转换。由第二句的“Nitrogen dissolved in his blood is sudde

23、nly liberated by the reduction of pressure.”可知，这是说the bends的形成原因，故C、D项错，而B项文章没有提及。62B推理判断题。题干中的关键词是Rothschilds study，由此可定位到第三段的前两句。根据“to find out how widespread the problem was in the pastto investigate was how ichthyosaurs adapted to the problem of decompression”可知答案为B。63C推理判断题。根据第四段“he assumed tha

24、t signs of the bends would be rarer in younger fossils, reflecting their gradual evolution of measures to deal with decompression.Instead, he was astonished to discover the opposite.”可知，Rothschild的假设结论与在研究过程中得出的结果是相反的，故选C项。64A推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知，Rothschild认为鱼龙在进化过程中反减压方式进化失败，故选A项。 【重庆市南开中学2014高考英语二诊考试】
