74. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A. Body language is unique to humans. B. Animals express emotions just as humans do. C. Humans have other powers of communication. D. Humans are not different from animals to some degree.A项片面地强调body language是人类的唯一性，B项错在强调了动物与人类的完全等同，C项错在可以从第三段首句直接得出，不需要推断，D项“在某种程度上，人类确实与动物没什么不同。”D项正确是因为与本段的暗示相吻合。
75. This passage is mainly about ________. A. the development of body language B. the special role humans play in nature C. the power to convey information to others主题句在首段，同时C项“传达信息给别人的能力”，是文章自始至终所阐述的观点；A项是指“肢体语言的发展”，只是将文章的细节扩大；B项“人类在自然界的特殊作用”，不够具体；D项是指“人类与动物在语言应用方面的差异”，是文章的细节，而不是主要阐述的观点。 D. the difference between humans and animals in language use (2)在尾句或尾段 例：(2010·重庆，A篇) One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest (卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a wornout hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.
We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide range of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked， “May I get you something？” “A coffee would be nice.” Then I bought him a cup of coffee. We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked， “How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath？” “Who？” “The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.” I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world's richest and most powerful men! My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treateveryone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and to meet anotherhuman being with kindness and sincerity . 59. What is the message mainly expressed in the story? A. We should learn to be generous. B. It is honorable to help those in need. C. People in high positions are not like what we expect. D．We should avoid judging people by their appearances.文章最后一段为点题段，由本段内容可知，作者旨在告诉人们对任何人都要真诚、友好，即不要以貌取人。
(3)需要归纳分析 例：(2010·四川，B篇) Boiler rooms are often dirty and steamy, but this one is clean and cool.Fox Point is a very new 47unit living building in South Bronx，one of the city's poorest areas. Twothirds of the people living there areformerly (以前) homeless people, whose rent is paid by the government.The rest are lowincome families. The boiler room has special equipment, which produces energy for electricity and heat.
It reuses heat that would otherwise be lost to the air, reducing carbon emissions (碳排放) while also cutting costs.
Fox Point is operated by Palladia, a group that specializes in providing housing and services to needy people.Palladia received support from Enterprise Community Partners (ECP), which helps build affordable housing by providing support to housing developers. ECP has created national standards for healthy, environmentally (环境方面) clever and affordable homes which are called the Green Communities Standards. These standards include water keeping, energy saving and the use of environmentally friendly building materials. Meeting the standards increases housing construction costs by 2%, which is rapidly paid back by lower running costs. Even the positioning of a window to get most daylight can help save energy.
Michael Bloomberg, New York's mayor, plans to create 165,000 affordable housing units for 500,000 New Yorkers. Almost 80% of New York City's greenhousegas emissions come from buildings, and 40% of
those are caused by housing.So he recently announced that the city'sDepartment of Housing and Preservation and Development (DHPD)，whose duty is to develop and keep the city's supply of affordable housing, will require all its new projects to follow ECP's green standards.
Similar measures have been taken by other cities, such as Cleveland and Denver, but New York's DHPD is the largest city developer of affordable housing in the country. 48. What is the main purpose of this text? A. To call on people to pay more attention to housing problems. B. To prove that some standards are needed for affordable housing. C. To ask society to help homeless people and lowincome families. D. To introduce healthy,
environmentally clever and affordable housing.文章比较客观地介绍了一种健康的、环保的、人们有能力购买的房屋。 2．文章标题类 文章的标题是文章的眼睛，通过这双“眼睛”我们可以略知文章的大意。这类题的任务是给文章加一个适当的标题。 首先，要把握好文章的大意。不能把文章某一段的大意看作整篇文章的大意，更不可把文章的细节看成文章的大意，从而给文章加上一个观点片面的标题。文章的标题实际上是对文章大意最简洁的概括，标题与文章大意息息相关。 其次，给文章一个适当的标题还应抓住文章的主题句。因为文章的大意和文章的主题句总是一脉相承的，抓住了主题句就抓住了文章的灵魂。 再次，给文章加标题应注意文章的体裁和写作目的。叙事类文章是为了记叙一件事或一个人物，表达作者的某种感情，所加标题应体现叙事类文章的特点。说明文是为了说明一个事物或过程，标题应体现说明的特点。对于一些幽默类文章，应挖掘其深层含义，所给标题应体现文章幽默的特点。 文章标题类题的提问方式有： The best title for this passage would be/ might be/ is ________. What might be the best title of this passage? The most suitable title of the passage is ________. Which is the best suggested title? 例：(2010·全国Ⅱ，B篇) When you're lying on the white sands of the Mexican Riviera, the stresses (压力) of the world seem a million miles away.Hey, stop! Thisis no vacation—you have to finish something！ Here lies the problem for travel writer and food critic (评论家) EdieJarolim. “I always loved traveling and always liked to eat, but it never occurred to me that I could make money doing both of those things.”Jarolim said. Now you can read her travel advice everywhere—in Arts and Antiques, in Brides, or in one of her three books, The Complete Idiot's Travel Guide to Mexico's Beach Resorts.
Her job in travel writing began some eight years ago. After getting aPhD in English in Canada, she took a test for Frommer's travel guides, passed it, and got the job. After working at Frommer's, Jarolim worked for a while at Rough Guides in London, then Fodor's, where she fell so in love with a description of the Southwest of the U．S. that she moved there. Now as a travel writer, she spends onethird of her year on the road.The rest of the time is spent completing her tasks and writing reviews of restaurants at home in Tucson, Arizona. As adventurous as the job sounds, the hard part is factchecking all the information.Sure, it's great to write about a tourist attraction, but you'd better get the local (当地的) museum hours correct or you could really ruin someone's vacation.,,
49. What would be the best title for the text? A. Adventures in Travel Writing B. Working as a Food Critic C. Travel Guides on the Market D. Vacationing for a Living作为旅游作家，她在享受假期的同时也找到了谋生之路，所以D项最能概括文章大意，而且非常新颖。 例：(2010·安徽，E篇) The need to feed a growing population is putting much pressure on the
world's supply of water.With 97% of the world's water too salty to bedrunk or used in agriculture, the worldwide supply of water needs careful management, especially in agriculture. Although the idea of a water shortage (短缺) seems strange to someone fortunate enough to live in a high rainfall country, many of the world's agricultural industries experience constant water shortages. Although dams can be built to store water for agricultural use in dryareas and dry seasons, the costs of water redistribution (重新分配) are veryhigh.Not only is there the cost of the engineering itself, but there is also anenvironmental cost to be considered. Where valleys (山谷) are flooded to create dams, houses are lost and wildlife homes destroyed. Besides, water may flow easily through pipes to fields, but it cannot be transported from one side of the world to the other. Each country must therefore rely on the management of its own water to supply its farming requirements.
This is particularly troubling for countries with agricultural industries inareas dependent on irrigation (灌溉)．In Texas, farmers' overuse of irrigation water has resulted in a 25% reduction of the water stores. In the Central Valley area of southwestern USA, a huge water engineering project provided water for farming in dry valleys, but much of the water use has been poorly managed. Saudi Arabia's attempts to grow wheat in desert areas have seen the pumping of huge quantities of irrigation water from underground reserves. Because there is no rainfall in these areas, such reserves can only decrease，and it is believed that fifty years of pumping will see them run dry. 74. What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows? A. Steps to improving water use management.通读全文可知文章开篇点题，讲述了全球水资源紧缺，需要采取完善的管理措施，紧接着第二段和第三段讲述了因管理不当而造成或可能造成的严重后果，最后一段讲沙漠地区在发展农业时由缺少水源造成的困境。由此可推断文章接下来会讲述如何改善水资源管理，故选A项。
B. Ways to reduce the costs of building dams. C. Measures to deal with worldwide water shortages. D. Approaches to handling the pressure on water supply. (三)词义猜测题 词义猜测型试题主要考查考生根据文章内容和所学知识推测词义的能力，也可能是推测单词、词组，也可能是生词或熟悉词(汇)的新义，或是一些词组的引申意义甚至整个句子。句意题涉及题材背景、句子结构、文章主旨、作者的观点态度等，因此，要求考生结合主旨、整合上下文信息作出猜测。命题者着重考查学生利用同义或反义关系、构词法、语法和语篇文脉结构等理解生词的能力，有些题目需要在较大的上下文范围和整个语篇理解的基础上才能作出推断，难度较高。 词义猜测题常见的命题形式有： 1．What does the underlined word mean“...” in the passage? 2．The word “...” refers to/ probably means ________. 3．The underlined word “...” in Paragraph... means ________. 4．What do you think the expression “________” stands for? 5．“________” as used in the passage can best be defined as ________. 6．Which of the following words can take the place of the word “...”？ 7．The underlined word “...” is closest in meaning to ________. 8．The underlined word “...” could best be replaced by ________. 1．根据定义、解释和复述猜测词义 猜测生词的方法很多，其中一条是根据定义或解释来猜测其意义。这种情况下，生词往往出现在前面，定义或解释往往跟在生词的后面，由or或破折号引出。因此只要大家找准并正确理解生词的释义，生词的意义也就清楚了。复述也是一种解释方法，即换用不同的词语重新表达同一内容。复述部分可以是单词、短语，也可以是从句或者句子。
在做这类题时，要注意复述与被复述部分往往构成同位语关系，在句中多用逗号连接，有时也使用破折号(—)、冒号(：)或者分号(；)来连接。有时它们中间还常常插入一个起解释作用的标志语如or, or rather, that is to say, that is, i．e., namely, say, in other words等来强调这种同位关系。 例：(2010·福建，B篇) Across the developing world, around 45% of families had a TV in 1995; by 2005 the number had climbed above 60%. That is some way behind the U．S., where there are more TVs than people, and where people now easily get access to the Internet. Five million more families in SubSaharan Africa will get a TV over the next five years. In 2005, after the fall of the
Taliban (塔利班), which had outlawed TV, 1 in 5 Afghanshad one.The global total is another 150 million by 2017—pushing the numbers to well beyond two thirds of families. 60. The underlined word “outlawed” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”． A. allowed B. banned由文意可知，2005年塔利班垮台以后，1/5的阿富汗人有了电视机，说明在这之前电视是被禁止的。故答案为B项，ban禁止。 C. offered D. refused 2．通过原因或结果关系猜测词义 文章中的上下文常常有因果关系，根据原因可以推测出结果，根据结果也可以推测出原因。例如：because, since, as是连接原因状语从句的连词；so是连接结果状语从句的连词；so... that与such... that中的that是连接结果状语从句的连词。当这些信息词出现在有生词的句子中时，可以通过因果关系猜出生词的含义。 例：(2010·全国Ⅱ，E篇) I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train
journeyand had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread.I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.
73. Which of the following words can best take the place of the word “relish” in the second paragraph? A. choose B. enjoy根据语境“我不是特别……乘火车长途旅行，于是带了一些杂志反复地读，消磨时间。”可推测“relish”意为“喜欢”，与enjoy同义。故答案为B项。 C. prepare for D. carry on
3．根据对比关系猜测词义 这类题的上下文提示不是作者对生词、难点所作的解释和说明，而是需要读者运用语言知识和分析能力去细心搜寻和领会相关信息之间存在的种种逻辑关系。根据这种逻辑关系所提供的思路和范围，来分析判断有关词的词义或相近的意义，从而达到理解全文思想内容的目的。转折词but，让步条件状语从句以及unlike, in spite of, despite, however等一些介词和副词都可以帮助构成意义上的对比关系。 例：(2010·湖北，B篇) For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parentteen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do? Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any
power to stop the conflict.In part, this is becauseneither is willing to admit any responsibility for startingit. From the parents' point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents' complete unreasonableness. And of course, the__teens__see__it__in__exactly__the__same__way,__except__oppositely. Both feel trapped. 56. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean? A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.句意理解题。前面的“In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it.”指出，双方都不愿意为发生冲突承担责任，接着讲述了父母们的看法，画线句说到孩子与父母的看法相同，只不过方向相反，他们认为是父母的“无理”导致了冲突。 B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict. C. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them. D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.
4．利用常识、自己的经验、经历及社会、科技等方面的知识猜测词义 有时碰到生词，也不必惊慌。根据对上下文或整句的理解，运用常识或相关的知识，也能猜出该生词的含义。 例：(2010·全国Ⅱ，C篇) Beijing's skiing craze is partly a result of the recent increase in private (私有的) cars.,This has led to thegrowth of a leisure__industry in the capital's suburbs (郊区), which until the late1990s were unreachable to ordinary people. According to Mr. Wei, about 40% of the visitors to his resort come in their own cars. The rest are bused in by schools, businesses or government offices.
52. The underlined words “leisure industry” in Paragraph 3 refer to ________. A. transport to ski resorts B. production of family cars C. business of providing spare time enjoyments私有车辆的增加说明人们生活水平提高了，娱乐活动随之增加，同时也就促进了滑雪之类的行业的发展，由此可推测画线部分的含义是“休闲业”。 D. parttime work for people living in the suburbs
(四)主旨大意题 主旨大意题是阅读理解中要求较高、难度较大的题型之一，它要求考生对全文或某一部分的内容进行合理的归纳，重在考查考生的理解和概括能力。一般说来，该类题目主要是对文章或段落的中心进行陈述，或是选择文章的标题。有些文章，尤其是说明文和议论文，往往有主题句表明中心思想；但有些文章，比如记叙文，往往没有明确的主题句，需要考生在认真体会并明确作者的写作意图的基础上概括文章的中心。 1．文章主题类 任何一篇文章都有自己的中心思想。不少文章在全文或各段的开头便展示出文章的中心思想，这就要求考生必须抓住每个段落的中心要点，并将其进行归纳综合，即可得到整篇文章的中心思想。每个段落的中心要点往往是通过主题句来体现的。考生通过采取略读法，以搜寻各段主题句为目标，快速扫视全文，避免逐词理解，可提高阅读速度。要把注意力集中在找主要信息上，而不是过分注意细节事实。一般来说，文章的主题或中心都在第一段或最后一段表明。 有些文章或段落无明显的主题句，但字里行间无不体现主题。这就要求考生在阅读过程中根据文中所叙述的事实或提供的线索来概括总结主旨大意。 文章主题常见的提问方式有： What is the main idea of the passage? What is the main subject of this passage? What is the main topic of this passage? What does the passage mainly discuss? (1)在句首或首段 例：(2010·江西，E篇) Every day we experience one of the wonders of the world around us without even realizing it. It is not the amazing complexity of television, nor the impressive technology of transport. The universal wonder we share and experience is our ability tomake noises with our mouths, and so transmit ideas and thoughtsto each others's minds.This ability comes so naturally that wetend to forget what a miracle (奇迹) it is. Obviously, the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animals. Of course, some animals have powers just as amazing. Birds can fly thousands of miles by observing positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day and year. In Nature's talent show, humans are a species of animal that have developed their own special act. If we reduce it to basic terms, it's an ability for communicating information to others, by varying sounds we make as we breathe out. Not that we don't have other powers of communication. Our facial expressions convey our emotions, such as anger, or joy, or disappointment. The way we hold our heads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad. This is socalled “body language”. Bristling (直立的) fur is an unmistakable warning of attack among many animals.Similarly, the bowed head or drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering. Such a means of communication is a basic mechanism that animals, including human beings, instinctively acquire and display. Is the ability to speak just another sort of instinct? If so, how did human beings acquire this amazing skill? Biologists can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms function, but this doesn't tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history. 67. Which of the following is TRUE of Rae Armantrout? A. She published a poetry textbook. B. She used to teach Denise Levertov. C. She started a poets' group with others.由第四段的最后一句话可知，她和其他人一起发起了一个诗歌小组。由第四段首句可知她是在UC Berkeley与著名诗人Denise Levertov一起学习并取得学士学位，并在San Francisco State University获得创造性写作方面的硕士学位。可排除B、D两项；从第七段对“Versed”的内容介绍，可知它不是教材，可排除A项。 D. She taught creative writing at UC Berkeley. (二)推理判断题 推理判断题与细节理解题最大的区别是前者需要根据文中内容去推断言外之意；后者只需在原文中找出对应内容。我们所读的文章往往比较含蓄，作者经常把需要我们理解的意思不直接表达出来，而是期待我们去领悟文章的内在含义。命题人恰恰就是在这方面命题。考生做题时要对文章已给的信息进行合理的分析判断，做到“有理有据”。要吃透文章的字面意思，从字里行间捕捉有用的信息；要对文章的表面信息进行挖掘加工，由表及里，由浅入深，通过分析、综合、判断，进行逻辑推理；同时应注意不能主观臆断、凭空想象，要忠实于原文，以文章提供的信息为依据。
1．组织结构题 这类题目要求考生判断作者的写作方法、情节的发生顺序以及文章的后续内容、前后关系以及延伸意义等等。做这一类题目时，大家应该结合篇章结构知识去判断或根据文章的内容合理推测、想象。 例：(2010·福建，A篇) F. Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24, 1896, an American novelist， was once a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while. In 1917he joined the armyand was posted in Alabama, where he met hisfuture wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her. His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary: “My own happiness in the past often approached such joy that I could not share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.” This Side of Paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel The Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Tales of the Jazz Age
(1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923)．But his greatest successwas The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quickly brought him praise from the literary world.Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men. However, Fitzgerald's problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing.During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934
and The Love of the Last Tycoon in 1940.While his wife was in hospital
in the United States, he got totally addicted to alcohol. Sheila Graham, his dear friend, helped him fight his alcoholism. 57. Which of the following is the correct order to describe Fitzgerald's life according to the passage? a. He became addicted to drinking. b. He studied at St. Paul Academy. c. He published his first novel This Side of Paradise. d. The Great Gatsby won high praise. e. He failed to reorder his life. f. He joined the army and met Zelda.
A. fceabd B. beafcd C. fdecba D. bfcdea这篇短文是人物介绍，从少年到老年的先后顺序着笔，他出生于1896年，在St. Paul Academy就读，1917年参军，结婚，1920年出版第一部小说，进入写作旺期，1925年出版the Geat Gatsby，由此在文学界出名，最后一段讲述了1930年前后他的生活变化和创作活动。 2.文章的体裁出处题 这类题目主要针对那些文体较为复杂的文章。大家在判断时，应该注意文章的整体特点或主体内容，不要被其纷繁的结构或“掺杂”的内容所迷惑。
例：(2010·辽宁，D篇) On May 23, 1989, Stefania Follini came out from a cave at Carlsbad, New Mexico. She hadn't seen the sun for eighteen and a half weeks.Stefania was in aresearch program, and the scientists in the program were studying body rhythms(节奏). In this experiment Stefania had spent 130 days in a cave, 30 feet in depth. During her time in the cave, Stefania had been completely alone except for twowhite mice.Her living place had been very comfortable, but there had been nothingto tell her the time. She'd had no clocks or watches, no television or radio. There had been no natural light and the temperature had always been kept at 21℃.
The results were very interesting.Stefania had been in the cave for over fourmonths, but she thought she had been there for only two. Her body clock had changed. She hadn't kept to a 24hour day, she had stayed awake for 2025 hours and then had slept for 10 hours. She had eaten fewer meals and had lost 171bs in weight as a result! She had also become rather depressed (抑郁)． How had she spent her time in the cave？,As part of the experiment she'd donesome physical and mental tests. She'd recorded her daily activities and the results of the tests on a computer. This computer had been specially programmed for the project. Whenever she was free, she'd played cards, read book and listened to music. She'd also learned French from tapes. The experiment showed that our body clocks are affected by light andtemperature.For example, the pattern of day and night makes us wake up and go to sleep. However, people are affected in different ways. Some people wake up naturally at 5:00 a．m., but others don't start to wake up till 9:00 or 10:00 a．m.. This affects the whole daily rhythm. As a result, the early risers are at their best in the late morning. The late risers, on the other hand, are tired during the day and only come to life in the afternoon or evening！
70. Where does the text probably come from? A. A novel. B. A news story.这篇文章为读者介绍了一项关于人体生理节奏的研究。第一段讲斯蒂芬尼奥从事了一项科学研究项目，是研究身体节奏的。她需要在一个深洞里住130天进行这项实践。第二段讲她在洞里的生活状况。第三段讲这次实验中，Stefania的生活节奏发生的变化。第四段讲实验实施的过程。最后一段讲实验结果。通篇文章是在报道一项科学实验的资讯，所以这篇文章应出现在报纸杂志等通俗读物上，故答案为B项。 C. A pet magazine. D. A travel guide. 3．写作意图题 有些文章作者的写作目的比较明确，如议论文、说明文等，但有些作者不点明自己的写作意图，而是让读者自己去体会，这种情况多出现在记叙文或夹叙夹议的文章中。作者往往叙述自己或别人的一段经历，经历中往往隐含某些人生哲理或观点，而这些哲理或观点往往就是作者的写作意图，因此在体会纯记叙文作者的意图时，大家必须弄清故事的结局，从故事的结局中挖掘出作者的用意。在夹叙夹议的文章中，作者往往是先叙述，然后发表自己对此事的看法，因此议论部分往往蕴涵着作者的写作意图。 例：(2010·四川，C篇) Alex London Research Laboratory (ALRL) is part of Alex CO., Ltd., a major Australian medicinemaking company. Opened in 1992, ALRL specialises in the development of new medicines for the treatment of heart diseases.
A position is now open for a Research Operations Manager (ROM) tosupport our growing research team at the new laboratories in Hatfield, due toopen in the autumn of 2010.

To announce an open position at ALRL.这是一篇征聘广告。第一段对这家研究机构做了介绍。第二段第一句用“A position is now open...”开门见山地点明了主题。最后两段对申请人的应聘条件和联系方式及内容做了说明。由此可推断这篇。文章的目的是让大家知晓一个空缺的职位：a Research Operations Manager (ROM)，满足条件的人可应聘该职位。 D. To make known the opening of the new laboratories.
4．深层推理题 这类题目往往要求考生根据原文中某一句凝练、含蓄的语言推断其中暗含的意义。在做这类题目时，我们不能局限于仅仅理解一句话，而是要注意它与整篇的联系以及和上下文之间的关系。 例：(2010·全国Ⅰ，C篇) Along the river banks of the Amazon and the Orinoco there lives a bird that swims before it can fly, flies like a fat
chicken, eats green leaves, has the stomach of a cow and ,has claws (爪) on its wings when young.They build their homesabout 4.6m above the river, an important feature (特征) for the safety of the young. It is called the hoatzin. In appearance, the birds of both sexes look very much alike with brown on the back and cream and red on the underside. The head is small, with a large set of feathers on the top, bright red eyes, and blue skin. Its nearest relatives are the common birds, cuckoos. Its most striking feature, though, is only found in the young. Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each
wing and another at the end of each wing tip.Using these fourclaws, together with the beak (喙), they can climb about inthe bushes, looking very much like primitive birds must havedone. When the young hoatzins have learned to fly, they losetheir claws. During the drier months between December and March hoatzins fly about the forest in groups of 20 to 30 birds, but April, when the rainy season begins, they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes.
64. Young hoatzins are different from their parents in that ________. A. they look like young cuckoos B. they have claws on the wings根据第一段中讲到的幼鸟翅膀上长着爪子，第三段讲幼鸟用爪子攀爬，但当它长大并学会飞时，爪子就会消失。可知麝雉幼鸟与成鸟不同的是幼鸟翅膀上长有爪子。答案为B项。 C. they eat a lot like a cow D. they live on river banks
65. What can we infer about primitive birds from the text? A. They had claws to help them climb.根据第三段中讲幼鸟能像原始的鸟一样在树丛中用爪子和喙攀登。可知，原始的鸟使用爪子攀爬。注意must have done是对过去情况的肯定性推测。答案为A项。 B. They could fly long distances. C. They had four wings like hoatzins. D.
