答案以及解析1.答案：1-4DACB解析：1.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段"Insteadofchoosingcandyoratoy,whichwouldhavebeenthefirstchoiceformostkids,thelittlegirlimmediatelyranforabagofbread.(這個小女孩沒有選擇糖果或玩具,這是大多數(shù)孩子的第一選擇,而是立即跑去買了一袋面包)"可知小女孩沒有選擇自己喜歡的東西(candyoratoy),而是選擇了生活必需品(bread),由此可推知,她的生活條件不好。故選D。

2.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段"Thatnight,Browncouldn'tsleep,decidingthatshehadtofindthelittlegirltohelpher.Shewenttotheschoolthegirlwouldmostlikelyattend.(那天晚上,布朗無法入睡,她決定一定要找到小女孩并幫助她。她去了那個女孩最有可能上的學校)"可知,布朗去學校是想找到女孩并幫助她。故選A。

3.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段"Browndecidedto'adopt(領養(yǎng))'aclassof23EastOakland,California,first-graders.(布朗決定"收養(yǎng)"加利福尼亞州東奧克蘭的一個由23名一年級學生組成的班級)"和"Toachievethisgoal,Brownbegansavingmoney,puttingaside$10000peryearfromher$45000salary.(為了實現(xiàn)這個目標,布朗開始存錢,從她每年45000美元的薪水中拿出10000美元)"可知,布朗開始從事個人慈善活動,資助大批的貧困學生,所以第四段中"Startingthatday,Brownbecameabenefactor,mentor(導師)andsecondmothertothose23first-graders,beginningwithregularvisits,Saturdaytutorialsandparentmeetings.(從那天開始,布朗成為了這23名一年級學生的benefactor、導師和第二位母親,從定期探訪、周六輔導課和家長會開始)"中的benefactor應該指的就是像布朗這樣從事慈善捐款的人。故選C。

4.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段"Someofthesestudents—nowincollege—reportthatifithadn'tbeenforBrown,theywouldneverhavebeengivenanopportunityforthiskindofeducation.(這些學生中一些現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)上了大學的人說,如果沒有布朗,他們永遠不會得到接受這種教育的機會)"可知,如果沒有布朗,一些學生就無法上大學。故選B。2.答案：1.C;2.C;3.B;4.C

解析：1..細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段關鍵句"Forhundredsofyears,thiswhistledformofcommunicationhasbeencriticalforfarminginthisplaceallowingcomplexconversationsoverlongdistancesandmakinganimalherding(放牧)easiertodo.However,becauseoftheincreaseduseofcellphones,thelanguageisatriskofdyingout."可知,幾百年來,這種口哨式的交流方式允許長距離進行復雜的對話。然而,由于手機使用的增加,這種語言正面臨消亡的危險。根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容可知,這種口哨式語言被稱作"kusdili"或"birdlanguage".由此可知,在手機出現(xiàn)之前,土耳其農(nóng)民主要用kusdili與遠處的人交談。故選C。

2.細節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)第二段關鍵句"Thereisalong-heldbeliefthatlanguageinterpretationoccursmostlyinthelefthemisphere(大腦半球),andtunesandsingingontheright.ButastudyconductedinKuskoysuggeststhatwhistlinglanguageisprocessedinbothhemispheres."可知,長期以來有一種觀點認為,語言解釋主要發(fā)生在大腦的左半球,而曲調(diào)和唱歌則在右半球。但Kuskoy所進行的一項研究表明,口哨語言在大腦的左、右半球都被處理。由此可知,根據(jù)Kuskoy的研究,處理語言的大腦結(jié)構(gòu)是不固定的。故選C。

3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段關鍵句"Whiletechnologyiscontributingtothelanguage'sdisappearance,itisalsobeingusedbysometopreserveit.可知,雖然科技是造成這種語言消失的原因,但也有人利用科技來保護這種語言。再根據(jù)段落內(nèi)容可知,Mr.Civelek使用了一個名為"IslikDiliSozlugu"的應用程序來教孩子們口哨語言,也就是他利用了科技手段來教授語言,由此可推斷出,Mr.Civelek認為科技既有弊端也有好處。"Everycoinhastwosides."意為"事物都有兩面性",能夠表達他的觀點。故選B。

4.主旨大息題。分析文章內(nèi)容可知,文章主要講述了土耳其人使用的口哨語,介紹了口哨語的歷史、作用以及土耳其人為保留口哨語所做出的努力。根據(jù)最后一段關鍵句"Youcanloseorbreakaphone,butaslongasyoucanbreathe,youcanwhistle"可知,你可能會丟失或損壞手機,但只要你能呼吸,你就可以吹口哨。也證明了口哨語在土耳其人心中的地位。"PeopleinTurkeykeepalanguageofwaysofthelif
