14、u have good friends? Do you sometimes feel so close to them that they are like family to you? It turns out that this isnt just an expression. A study by Yale University and the University of California, San Diego, has found that you and your friends have more genes in common than strangers do, the G

15、uardian reported. Researchers looked at the genes of 1,932 people and compared them in pairs of unrelated friends and strangers. They found that friends have 1 percent of genes that match. One percent may not sound like much to the layperson (外行), but to geneticists (遗传学家) it is a significant number

16、, Professor Nicholas Christakis of Yale University told Discovery News. In fact, this is the same amount of genes you share with your fourth cousins, those who have the same great-great-great grandparents as you. So is it a coincidence that you become friends with people who share your genes? Not at

17、 all. In fact, it is evolution that brings you together. People who share certain genes also share skills and have similar likes and dislikes, researchers said. In ancient times, it was critical that people who were alike stayed together. For example, people who had a similar susceptibility (易感性) to

18、 the cold were more likely to help each other build a fire, giving them a better chance to survive. Researchers also found that among all the genes studied, those affecting sense of smell were the most similar in friends. This is probably because people who smell things in the same way are more easi

19、ly drawn to similar environments. For example, people who like the smell of coffee may hang out at cafes more often and are therefore more likely to meet and become friends with each other. Based on their findings, the team has developed an interesting test called the friendship score. It calculates

20、 how big the chances are that two people will be friends by studying their genes. So, here is a question for you: would you like to take this test and know in advance who your friends are going to be, or would you still prefer to figure it out by yourself and let time be the judge?（1）What is the aut

21、hors main purpose in writing the article?

25、 a crowd who can become friends【答案】 （1）B（2）B（3）C（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，来自耶鲁大学和加利福尼亚大学的研究发现：与陌生人相比，朋友之间的基因有相似性，所以朋友有时更像是家人。 （1）考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“A study by Yale University and the University of California, San Diego, has found that you and your friends have more genes in common than strangers do, the Gu

26、ardian reported.”耶鲁大学和加利福尼亚大学的研究发现：与陌生人相比，朋友之间的基因有相似性。可知，这篇文章主要讲述关于交朋友的这项新发现。并且由“the Guardian reported”可知，这是一篇新闻报道，故选B。 （2）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“A study by Yale University and the University of California, San Diego, has found that you and your friends have more genes in common than strangers do, the Guard

27、ian reported.”耶鲁大学和加利福尼亚大学的研究发现：与陌生人相比，朋友之间的基因有相似性。可知，与陌生人相比，朋友之间的基因有相似性。故选B。 （3）考查推理判断。这个举例出现在倒数第四段，根据倒数第五段中的“So is it a coincidence that you become friends with people who share your genes? Not at all. In fact, it is evolution that brings you together. ”你与你基因相似的人变成朋友是偶然吗？并不是这样的。实际上，是进化将你们带到一起。可知，倒

28、数第四段应该是对进化如何将你们带到一起成为朋友的解释。本段谈到了有相似基因的人也有相似的技能和喜好，然后以古代人为例，说明只有遇到拥有相似技能基因的人他们才能发展语言技能，同时，同样对冷感受比较强烈的人更可能会互相帮助生火，作者举这些例子都是为了说明人们选择了拥有相似基因的人为友，是因为进化的需要，故选C。 （4）考查细节理解。根据倒数第三段的中的“This is probably because people who smell things in the same way are more easily drawn to similar environments.”可能是因为嗅觉相同的人更

29、容易去相似的环境，可知，有相同嗅觉基因的人更容易被吸引去相似的环境中。故选C。 【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇新闻报道，考生需要准确掌握细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。3阅读理解 Want to fit the best of London in your two-week vacation?
