GRE阅读题目解析:鸟的羽毛

2017-12-04 11:48:00来源:网络

  P36

  1

  A bird’s plumage, while contributing to structural integrity and participating in aerial locomotion, completely obscures a bird’s internal activity from human view, greatly impeding our attempts to understand birds as functioning animals.

  鸟的羽毛,一方面是其整体结构的组成部分,也参与飞行,一方面彻底掩盖了鸟的内部活动,人类完全无法理解鸟是如何运转的。

  2

  Plumage has even made it difficult to describe bird movement.

  羽毛甚至令我们难以描述鸟的运动。

  3

  When describing the movement of mammals, writers turn to well-worn clichés like “grace in motion.”

  当我们描述哺乳动物的移动,作者们用烂了一些套话比如 “ 步态优雅 ”。

  4

  A mammal’s rippling muscles slide smoothly over one another in eye-catching ways.

  可以明显地观察到,哺乳动物的肌肉一块接一块地平滑起伏。

  5

  With a mammal, whether a mouse or hippopotamus, we recognize that the underlying body parts are similar to our own and we know these parts will act predictably.

  不论鼠或河马,我们认识到哺乳动物身体的下部与人类相似,也可以预测这些部位的动作。

  6

  Not so with a bird.

  对鸟,则不行。

  7

  For centuries, we knew little more about a bird’s movement than that it was a mystery that seemed to be based on the flapping of wings.

  数百年来,除了拍扑翅膀,鸟的运动对我们来说还是个谜。

  Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.

  1. The passage mentions which of the following as an effect of bird plumage?

  A. It contributes to a bird’s ability to fly.

  B. It hides the inner workings of birds.

  C. It contributes to the structural soundness of birds.

  选 ABC

  细节题。

  根据句 1:

  A bird’s plumage, while contributing to structural integrity and participating in aerial locomotion, completely obscures a bird’s internal activity from human view, greatly impeding our attempts to understand birds as functioning animals.

  soundness 此处做 完好,健全 理解。

  2. The author implies which of the following about the “underlying body parts” of nonhuman mammals?

  A. They are more similar to humans’ underlying body parts than most people assume.

  B. They are more predictable in their workings than are the underlying body parts of humans.

  C. Their smooth and grateful actions belie how complicated they actually are.

  D. They work in much different ways than do the underlying body parts of most birds.

  E. They are easier to observe and understand than are underlying parts of birds.

  选 E

  根据句 5 - 6:

  With a mammal, whether a mouse or hippopotamus, we recognize that the underlying body parts are similar to our own and we know these parts will act predictably. Not so with a bird.

  综合选 E,比鸟更容易观察和理解。
