Eyes are biologically expensive things to make and rear-view (后视) eyes dont fit well into the human evolution (进化). Even animals, such as rabbits, whose main survival advantage is rear vision

26、, have only the side eyes. Rear vision is not so important. There are other species that have evolved this ability by moving the position of their eyes relative to the rest of their head. Many birds have their eyes positioned towards the side of their head, allowing them a very wide angle of vision

27、and, in the case of some birds such as the woodcock, they are positioned so they can actually achieve 360-degree vision. It is also obvious that spiders, which tend to have many eyes, only have them facing forwards. Humans, and probably some other animals, do have another adapted sense to make it up

28、. Many experiments showed that sounds behind the head were noticed by a listener more than sounds to the front, especially if a listener was in a dark room. So, our ears can make up for the lack of rear-facing vision. You can look at it another way. Rear vision is useful only if the potential threat

29、 is visible. During human evolution, that was most often not the case. 7 Finally, there is often more than one potential “solution” to a given problem. In many species, the answer to maintaining 360-degree awareness of surrounding danger is to rely on many eyes. Social behavior is common in the anim

30、al kingdom and one reason for this is that there is safety in numbers. You might be looking the wrong way when a tiger approaches, but if your teammates raise the alarm this is as effective as having eyes in the back of your head. 28. Why do humans have no rear-view eyes? A. They are bad for human s

31、urvival. B. They are replaced by other organs. C. They are less likely to spot the danger. D. They are abandoned by natural selection. 29. What is the purpose of paragraph 2? A. To state rear-view eyes arent a must for survival. B. To explain why animals have other functional eyes. C. To prove rabbi

32、ts, birds and spiders are very special. D. To show rear-view eyes are against the natural selection. 30. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Sensitive hearing.B. The visible threat behind the head. C. The sound behind the head.D. Rear vision. 31. Where does the text most

33、 likely come from? A. Atravel brochure.B. Afiction. C. Ascience magazine.D. Abook review. 【答案】28. D29. A30. B31. C 8 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要向我们介绍了人类的眼睛没有长在脑后的原因。 【28 题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“Why dont we have eyes in the back of our heads? There are at least two reasons. Eyes are biologically expensive things

34、to make and rear-view (后视) eyes dont fit well into the human evolution (进化).”（为什么我们的眼睛没有长在脑后？至少有两个原因。眼睛从生物学角度上说是昂贵的 东西，而后视的眼睛并不适合人类的进化。 ）可知，人类之所以没有后视的眼睛是因为后视的眼睛并不适 合人类的进化。由此可知，人类没有后视的眼睛是因为它们并不适合人类的进化，被自然选择所抛弃。故 选 D 项。 【29 题详解】 推理判断题。浏览第二段内容，根据第二段关键句“Even animals, such as rabbits, whose main survival

35、 advantage is rear vision, have only the side eyes. Rear vision is not so important.” （即使是兔子等主要生存优势 是后视的动物，也只有侧眼。后视并不是那么重要。 ）可知，本段主要通过列举兔子、蜘蛛和鸟类的例子， 告诉我们后视并不是那么重要，它并不是生存的必备条件。由此可知，第二段的主要目的是说明后视并不 是生存的必要条件。故选 A 项。 【30 题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线单词上句“Rear vision is useful only if the potential threat is visible.”

36、（只有在潜在威 胁是可以看见的时候，后视才有用。 ）可知，后视只对脑后发生的可见的威胁是有用的。由此可知，that 代指的是“脑后的可见的威胁”，划线词所在句子表示“在人类进化过程中，脑后的可见的威胁的情况并 不经常发生。”，“The visible threat behind the head”意为“脑后的可见的威胁”，符合句意。故选 B 项。 【31 题详解】 推理判断题。浏览文章，结合文章第一段内容“Why dont we have eyes in the back of our heads? There are at least two reasons. Eyes are biolog

37、ically expensive things to make and rear-view (后视) eyes dont fit well into the human evolution (进化).”（为什么我们眼睛没有长在脑后？至少有两个原因。眼睛从生物学角度上说是 昂贵的东西，而后视的眼睛并不适合人类的进化。 ）可知，本文主要向我们介绍了人类的眼睛没有长在脑 后的原因，这是一篇科普知识类的文章，“A science magazine”意为“科学杂志”，符合文章出处。由此 9 可知，文章最有可能选自一本科学杂志。故选 C 项。 D The UK government has promise

38、d to cut the countrys greenhouse gas emissions（排放）by at least 68% by 2030 compared with 1990 levels, marking a significant increase from its current goal. The new goal comes nine days ahead of the UK hosting a “climate action summit （峰会） ” to encourage other countries to declare tougher climate plan

39、s, known as Nationally Determined Contributions（NDCs）, under the Paris Agreement. Current NDCs will raise temperatures by 3.And stronger plans are needed to meet the Paris deals goal of limiting global warming to 1.5. “This is the most significant NDCs announcement so far from any major economy,” sa

40、id Richard Black at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, a UK-based think tank, in a statement. The new goal is exactly in line with what the governments official climate adviser, the Climate Change Committee, called for in a letter published earlier today. The group said 68% would be “world-le

41、ading” compared with existing plans of governments. The UK had previously promised a 53% cut in emissions as part of a joint （共同的） effort with the rest of the European Union, but the UK is determined to produce a new NDCs. Separately, the UK had also promised a 57% cut by 2032 domestically. It is cl

42、ear that far more action will be needed if the UK is to meet the new goal. The governments own analysis last week showed that recent major methods, such as banning new oil-fueled car sales by 2030, had failed to do enough to put the UK on track even for the old goal of 57% by 2032. The new goal obvi

43、ously widens that gap further. 32. Why did the UK declare its new goal before climate action summit”? A. To show its former plans are based on facts. B. To blame other countries for their low goals. C. To call on other countries to take bigger steps. 10 D. To take the lead in controlling greenhouse

44、gas emissions. 33. What is the UKs new goal for reducing emissions? A. 15%.B. 68%.C. 57%.D. 53%. 34. Whats the authors attitude to the UKs new goal? A. Opposed.B. Subjective. C. Indifferent.D. Doubtful. 35. What can be the best title for the text? A. Anew goal will be put forward on “climate action

45、summit”. B. UK came up with a common goal under the Paris Agreement. C. UKs recent major policies are far from its pre-determined goal. D. UK sets an ambitious climate goal of 68% emissions cut by 2030. 【答案】32. C33. B34. D35. D 【解析】 这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了英国政府承诺，到 2030 年，该国的温室气体排放量将比 1990 年的水平至 少减少 68%。 【32

46、题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中的“The new goal comes nine days ahead of the UK hosting a “climate action summit （峰会）” to encourage other countries to declare tougher climate plans, known as Nationally Determined Contributions（NDCs）, under the Paris Agreement.”（这一新目标是在英国主办“气候行动峰会”的九天前 提出的， 该峰会旨在鼓励其他国家根据 巴黎协定 宣布更严厉的气

47、候计划， 即国家确定贡献 （简称 NDC） 。 ） 可知英国在“气候行动峰会”前宣布新目标是为了鼓励其他国家根据巴黎协定宣布更严厉的气候计划 （更大的国家确定贡献） ，即呼吁其他国家对气候变化采取更大的措施。故选 C 项。 【33 题详解】 11 细节理解题。 由第一段“The UK government has promised to cut the countrys greenhouse gas emissions （排放） by at least 68% by 2030 compared with 1990 levels, marking a significant increase f

48、rom its current goal.”（英国 政府承诺，到 2030 年，该国的温室气体排放量将比 1990 年的水平至少减少 68%，比目前的目标有了显著 的提高。 ）可知英国减排的新目标是减少 68%。故选 B 项。 【34 题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“It is clear that far more action will be needed if the UK is to meet the new goal. The governments own analysis last week showed that recent major methods, such as

49、 banning new oil-fueled car sales by 2030, had failed to do enough to put the UK on track even for the old goal of 57% by 2032.”（显然，如 果英国要实现这一新目标，还需要采取更多的行动。英国政府自己上周的分析显示，最近出台的一些主要 措施，比如在 2030 年之前禁止销售新的石油燃料汽车，也不能使英国走上正轨，即使是在 2032 年之前实 现 57%的旧目标。 ）可知英国要实现减排 68%的新目标还需更多的行动，而且最近的分析显示，实施的主 要措施也难以让英国走上减排

50、 68%的正轨，可得出作者对英国的新目标持怀疑态度。故选 D 项。 【35 题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The UK government has promised to cut the countrys greenhouse gas emissions（排 放）by at least 68% by 2030 compared with 1990 levels, marking a significant increase from its current goal.” （英国政府承诺，到 2030 年，该国的温室气体排放量将比 1990 年的水平至少减少 68%，这比目前的目标 有了显
