15、详解】细节理解题。由题干中的关键词“Hurghada”可以将答案锁定在第一个小标题下。由第一句介绍中的“the main attraction of staying here is the activities in and on the warm waters”可知,游客喜欢呆在Hurghada的最主要的原因是这儿有很多在温暖的水上以及水中举行的活动。也就是说它提供很多种与水有关的活动供游客选择。故选B。【2题详解】细节理解题。文章最后一段是对埃及首都Cairo（开罗）的介绍。由其中的“Its definitely a starting point for most of Egypt hol

16、idaymakers.”可知,毫无疑问,它是去埃及旅游的大多数人开始旅游的地方。也就是说很多来埃及旅游的人,先会参观开罗。故选A。【3题详解】推理判断题。文章向读者介绍了去埃及旅游时可以参观的三个城市。由其内容可知,这篇文章应来自于与旅游相关的杂志或网站。A. a historical document 历史文献；B. a science magazine科学杂志；C. a travel guide旅游手册；D. a book review书评。只有选项C与旅游相关,故选C。BHave you ever noticed that your fingertips are wrinkled (起皱

17、的) when youve just finished swimming or washing dishes? It seems as if your hands have aged 30 years in a second. But is this an accident? Or is it something that nature has built into our bodies?“If your fingers wrinkling up had no use at all, it wouldnt need to.” Professor Tom Smulders from Newcas

18、tle University UK told BBC News. By studying wet fingers closely, Smulders and his partners found that the wrinkles looked a bit like the patterns on the car tire or the bottom of the running shoes. So they made a guess that wrinkles on fingers might be able to help the hand hold things more tightly

19、.To test this, researchers asked 20 people to pick up marbles (大理石) from water with their hands. But before they started, some of the people had to keep their hands in water for half an hour. The researchers found that the people with wrinkled fingers completed the task faster than those with dry ha

20、nds. But when they were asked to move dry marbles, all the people performed equally well no matter they had the wrinkled fingers or not. Researchers said our ancestors might not have played with marbles but wrinkled fingers could have made it easier for them to climb around in the wet forests and ca

21、tch fish from rivers. Similarly, our toes also get wrinkled in water. This may have developed from our ancestors need to run on wet ground.But the question is if wrinkled fingers are so helpful, why dont our hands just stay that way all the time? Researchers explained that wrinkling had its disadvan

22、tage: wet fingertips are far less sensitive than smooth ones, reducing our sense of touch.4. What does the underlined word “this” in the third paragraph refer to?A. Whether fingers have wrinkles after they are put in water.B. Whether wrinkled fingers can hold things more tightly.C. Why keeping thing

23、s in water makes them wrinkled.D. Why wrinkles help hands hold things more tightly.5. The test shows that _.A. wrinkled hands hold dry things more tightly than dry hands doB. dry hands hold dry things more tightly than wrinkled hands doC. wrinkled hands hold wet things more tightly than dry hands do

24、D. dry hands hold wet things more tightly than wrinkled hands do6. What might be the disadvantage of wrinkled fingers?A. They are too sensitive to be touched.B. They might be more likely to get hurt.C. They cannot hold things tightly enough.D. They are not so sensitive as dry fingers.【答案】4. B 5. C 6

25、. D【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。科学家们用实验向我们证明了：在水里浸泡一段时间,我们的手指会皱起来,有利于更能牢牢的抓住被浸湿的物体。并猜测了这一基因进化的背景。同时也指出了这一生理现象的不足之处,那就是感觉不太灵敏了。【4题详解】词句猜测题。由于“To test this（来验证它）”出现在第三段段首,而this是指代前边提到过的事件或物体。所以我们在第二段段尾找它对应的指代关系。第二段段尾句句意为：因此他们做了一个猜想,手指起皱可能能帮助我们更紧紧地抓住东西。“a guess”与划线单词this都是单数形式,从形式和句意上都可以形成指代关系。故选B。【5题详解】推理判断题。文章第三段

26、讲述科学家们所做的试验。由其中的“The researchers found that（科学家们发现）”可知其后的宾语从句说明的是实验结果。由这个宾语从句中从句部分内容及其后一句内容可知,手指起皱的人能比手指干的人能更能快速地捡起水里的大理石,而他们捡起干的大理石的速度是一样的。故可推知,手指起皱能帮人们更紧地抓住湿物体。故选C。【6题详解】细节理解题。由最后一段中的“Researchers explained that wrinkling had its disadvantage: wet fingertips are far less sensitive than smooth ones,

27、 reducing our sense of touch.”可知,科学家们解释说,起皱也有缺点,湿的手指没有光滑的手指敏感,这样会削弱我们的触觉。也就是说起皱的手指不像干手指一样敏感。故选D。【点睛】词句猜测在高考中有三种考查形式：生词猜测词义或熟词生义、猜测一句话的意思、指代关系猜词（代词或者名词）。从近三年考查形势看,三种考查方式同等重要。本文中第一考查的是指代关系猜词。这种题中划线词汇一般都是代词。例如本题中划线单词是this。解这种题目,首先定位原文,找出题干中要求的指代词；其次依据代词的单复数意义或者其它隐含含义,向上搜索,找出可替代的离的最近的名词（名词短语）或句子；最后用找到的词

28、替代划线词汇,看句意是否通顺。例如本题第一题中,首先由this可知,替换的可能是不可数名词或者单数名词,由于划线单词位于段首句,我们要现在本句this前找有没有单数名词,如果没有,再从上一段尾句开始找,就可以找到单数名词a guess,且test the guess也是语义通顺的。故选B。CTo bring the Olympic spirit to developing nations in the late 1990s, the Olympic Committee allowed a small number of “wild card” athletes to join the Game

29、s. But because they didnt have to go through any qualifying rounds to compete, when they arrived, not all of the competitors were prepared. One such athlete was a swimmer from Equatorial Guinea named Eric Moussambani. When Moussambani arrived at the 2000 Sydney Games, hed only been training for the

30、100-meter freestyle for about eight months. Hed also never been in an Olympic-size pool and had never raced more than 50 meters. Regardless, he was determined to represent his country.The three wild-card athletes were given their own race, and Moussambani was next to the other two swimmers from Nige

31、r and Tajikistan. When the official called the swimmers to begin the game, both of Moussambanis competitors were disqualified for false starts. Left to swim by himself, Moussambani dove in and dog paddled, breathing for air and moving his arms and legs. Halfway through the race, the situation looked

32、 so serious that the audience seriously worried he was drowning.When Moussambani finally passed the finish line and pulled himself from the water, the applause thundered. His final time was 1:52.72 - more than twice that of swimmers in the previous race. But Moussambani couldnt have been happier. He told reporters, “I m going to jump and dance all night long in celebration of my personal success.”Moussambanis
