第三篇

42．A【解析】題意：科學者研究雌性斑胸草雀發(fā)現(xiàn)了些什么?
根據(jù)文章第五段后一句All the birds that made a clear choice liked songs meant for a female au— dience可知，所有的雌雀都明確選擇了為雌雀而唱的表演性的歌曲，所以A正確，C項錯誤。根據(jù)第六段后一句females learn to recognize--and prefer--the songs Of their mates可知有配偶的雌雀更喜歡聽其配偶唱的歌，所以B項錯誤。而D項的內(nèi)容文章并未提及。故本題選A。

根據(jù)文章后一段第一句…directed communication，when the communicator or sender，focuses the message for a specific audience可知定向交流中，信息發(fā)送者所發(fā)送的信息傳達給特定的聽眾，故A項正確，D項錯誤。本段第二句One example is the way morns speak to their babies舉出一個媽媽與嬰兒說話的例子來說明定向交流，所以C項正確。文章中敘述了科學家研究發(fā)現(xiàn)雄性斑胸草雀特別為雌雀唱歌，后科學家們指出這是一種定向交流，所以B項正確。故本題選D。
45．B【解析】題意：下列哪項好地反映了文章的主題?
文章中，科學家們研究發(fā)現(xiàn)雄性斑胸草雀在為雌性斑胸草雀唱歌時，會改變聲調(diào)和速度，而它們歌聲實際上是一種交流方式。所以本題選B。</P><P>第5部分：補全短文

本處前文Yellowstone’s volcano is sometimes called a“supervolcan0，”0r extremely large and ex— plosive caldera volcan0說明黃石火山非常大。A項則進一步說明到底有多大。第四段第二句提到的the three calderas也可提示A項合適。故本題選A。
49．B【解析】句意：黃石火山首次噴發(fā)，發(fā)生在200萬年前，那時釋放出的火山灰與巖屑的量是上面的兩倍多。
本處前句The most recent eruption…produced at least 1，000 cubic kilometers of ash and debris提到近噴發(fā)時。火山釋放出的火山灰與巖屑的量有多少。B項double that amount，that指代前面的一個數(shù)字，即前文出現(xiàn)的1，000 cubic kilometers of ash and debris，故本題選B。
50．E【解析】句意：雖然黃石公園下的地質(zhì)活動確實給公眾造成了一些危險，但是它們也使得黃石公園成了一個獨一無二的寶庫。
