交际与语言表达

1.“The sailors were carrying spices back to Europe, and found the island a convenient stopping place where they could stock up with food and water for the rest of the voyage, but they didn t settle cm Mauritius."（水手们当时正把香料运回欧洲，他们发现这个岛屿很适合临时停靠，他们可以在这里储备食物和水，以备接下来的航行，但他们没有在毛里求斯定居。）其中stock up with sth.意为“贮备,备足某物"；settleon意为"在... 定居”。

2.“It's true that the dodo's small wings wouldn't have allowed it to leave the ground, but the scientists suggest that these were probably employed for balance while going over uneven gromid."（的确，渡渡鸟翅膀小，不可能飞离地面;但科学家认为，当渡渡鸟走在不平的路面上时，翅膀很可能是帮它们保持平衡的。）其中employ此处意为“使用，运 用”， 如 employ a method / technique； uneven 意为"不平坦的，崎岖的”。

3.“They found that the reports of the lack of intelligence of the dodo were not borne out by their research, which suggested the bird's brain was not small, but average in size'（ 他们发现有关渡渡鸟缺乏智慧的报道没有研究根据，这表明这种鸟的大脑并不小，而属于平均大小。）其中the lack of意为“缺乏”，与shortage为同义替换；borne是bear的过去分词形式，bear out意为“证实"，可同义替换为support。

4, “However, they were a particular danger to the dodos because they consumed their eggs, and since each dodo only laid one at a time, this probably had a devastating effect on populations''（然而，老鼠对渡渡鸟来说尤其危险，因为它们会吃渡渡鸟的蛋，因为每只渡渡鸟每次只产一只蛋，这可能对渡渡鸟的数量产生了毁灭性的影响。）其中laid为lay的过去时lay eggs意为“下蛋；产卵"；have a devastating effect on…意为"对……有毁灭性的影响

考题解析

Question 31 答案 spice(s)

听前预测：定位词为 1507、Portuguese shipsfood and water；提示词为 transporting,此处应填名词。

题目解析：本题不难定位，三组定位词都原词出现，录音中提到“The sailors were carrying spices back to Europe ... they could stock up with food and water for the rest of the voyage, but they didn't settle on Mauritius."，其中 carrying 对应题干中的 transporting,答案不难捕捉。注意单数形式spice和复数形式spices都符合本题题干的语法和句意要求。

Question 32 答案 colony / settlement

听前预测：定位词为1638、Dutch;提示词为a,此处应填以辅音开头的单数名词。

题目解析：本题定位词1638和Dutch都原词出现，录音中提到“However, in 1638 the Dutch arrived and set up a colony there”,其中 set up 对应题干中的 established,替换难度不大，因此答案为colony。

Question 33 答案 fat

听前预测：定位词为Dutch painting;提示词为very；此处应填与dodo意义相关的形容词。 

题目解析：定位词Dutch painting原词出现，接着录音中提到“the bird appears to be extremely fat,"，其中the bird对应题干中的the dodo, extremely对应题干中的very,替换难度不大，符合题干要求的形容词fat不难捕捉。注意排除录音中随后出现的形容词 thinner,根据录音“an Indian painting done at the same time shows a much thinner bird"，可知thinner是印度画中所描述的渡渡鸟的特点。

Question 34 答案 head

听前预测：定位词为only、soft tissue、 dried；提示词为a、dried,此处应填辅音开头的单数名词。

题目解析：定位词dried首先原词出现，可迅速定位到出题句" In the early 17th century four dried parts of a bird were known to exist ... only one example of soft tissue from the 

dodo survives, a dodo head，,其中，另外两组定位词 only、soft tissue 原词出现， 根据题干句意可预判本题答案词应填渡渡鸟的部位，因此答案为head。

Question 35 答案 movement

听前预测：定位词为Recent studies、skeleton、 rapid;提示词为rapid,此处应填名词。

听前预测：本题难度较大，定位词skeleton较早出现，录音中先提到早期关于渡渡鸟的研究是不准确的，接着由 but 引出答案句"but scientists now believe the bird's strong 

knee joints would have made it capable of movement which was not slowy but actually quite fast.n,其中 scientists now believe 对应题干中的 Recent studies, fast 对应题干中的rapid,替换难度不大，因此可判断答案为movement。

Question 36 答案 balance / balancing

听前预测：定位词为small wings;提示词为maintain,此处应填名词。

题目解析：本题定位词small wings原词出现，接着由but引出答案句abut the scientists suggest that these were probably employed for balance while going over uneven ground."，其中employed在本句中意为“使用”，对应题干中的use,因此答案为 balance。

Question 37 答案 brain

听前预测：定位词为average size；提示词为？heir、was,此处应填表示渡渡鸟的身体部位的单数名词。

题目解析：本题定位词average size虽原词出现，但答案词先于定位词出现，因此要求考生能够提前捕捉答案词。在上一题信息出现后，考生需要根据预判，提前捕捉表示渡渡鸟身体部位的词汇。录音中提到“…suggested the bird's brain was not small,"，可先记下相关词汇brain,接着录音中提到题干定位词average in size, 因此答案词为brain。注意排除录音中随后提到的skull (头骨)，因为录音中并未提及它的尺寸。

Question 38 答案 smell

听前预测：定位词为sense、find food;提示词为Their sense of,此处应填与感官相关的名词。 

题目解析：本题难度较大，答案词先于定位词food出现。定位词sense原词出现，录音中提到 “one sense which was particularly well-developed was that of smell.可先记下相关词汇 smell, 接着录音中提到 “So the dodo may also have been particularly good at locating ripe fruit and other food in the island's thick vegetation'' 其中 locating ripe fruit and other food对应题干中的find food,因此答案为smell

Question 39 答案 rats

听前预测：定位词为island、ate the bird's eggs；提示词为also,此处应填与动物相关的名词。 

题目解析：本题定位词island原词出现，但需先排除dogs、monkeys这两个干扰信息，因为录音中并未提到这两种动物会吃渡渡鸟的蛋。接着根据提示词also定位到录音中的 “but the ships also brought another type of creature - rats, which came to land from the ships”，可先记下相关词汇rats。录音中接着提到“However, they(rats) were a particular danger to the dodos because they consumed their eggs …”，其中定位词eggs原词出现，consumed此处意为“吃二对应题干中的ate,因此答案为rats

Question 40 答案 forest

听前预测：定位词为The arrival of farming;提示词为the、was destroyed,此处应填不可数名词或可数名词的单数形式。

题目解析：本题题干的定位词The arrival of farming在录音中被替换成the introduction of agriculture,接着录音中提到“This meant that the forest that had once covered all 

， the island ... was cut down so that crops such as sugar could be grown.", 其中 cut down对应题干中的destroyed,因此答案为forest
