Question

【題目】For many years, Bruce Bexler dreamed of going to the lands no human had explored and discovered rare, unknown species. That might sound like an impossible dream, but Bexler turned it into a reality.

In December 2015, he, together with a team of Australian and American scientists, adventured into a rain forest on the island of New Guinea. They were the first people ever to enter the region. “As we were dropped on the ground by helicopter, we found no trails anywhere; it was really hard to get around,” Bexler says.

Within minutes of landing, the team spotted a black chicken-like bird. The scientists soon determined that the creature was a type of honeyeater-the first new bird species to be sighted on New Guinea in 60 years. The honeyeater wasn’t the only surprise for them. They discovered more than 40 previously unknown plant and animal species. “We were like kids in a candy store?’ Bexler recalls. “Everywhere we looked, we saw amazing things we had never seen before.”

The new found species didn’t shy away from the scientists. Two long-nosed echidnas even let the visitors pick them up and take them back to camp to study them. Bexler thinks the animals weren’t scared because they had never seen humans before. He explains, “This area gives scientists a place where they can study the behaviours of animals that have not yet learned to be afraid of people.”

Bexler and his team did not have enough time to study the area completely. “We just scratched the surface, Bexler says. “Anyone who goes there will come back with a mystery.”

【4】C

【解析】本文屬于記敘文。主要描述了Bruce Bexler夢(mèng)想去從沒有人去過(guò)的地方，開辟一條未經(jīng)探索的土地，發(fā)現(xiàn)稀有的外來(lái)物種。這個(gè)夢(mèng)想在2015年實(shí)現(xiàn)了，他和一支科學(xué)家小組進(jìn)入新幾內(nèi)亞島上的熱帶雨林，發(fā)現(xiàn)了許多未被發(fā)現(xiàn)的物種。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容：多年來(lái)，Bruce Bexler夢(mèng)想著去從沒有人去過(guò)。他想開辟一條未經(jīng)探索的土地，發(fā)現(xiàn)稀有的外來(lái)物種。分析內(nèi)容可知，Bruce Bexler是一個(gè)喜歡探險(xiǎn)的人。分析句意可知A項(xiàng)（Adventurous.）符合題意，故選A項(xiàng)。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段最后的“We were like kids in a candy store,” Bexler recalls. “Everywhere we looked, we saw amazing things we had never seen before.” ”Bexler回憶說(shuō)， 我們就像在糖果店里的孩子，我們到處看，看到了我們從未見過(guò)的令人驚奇的事情。分析句意可知，他們看到了許多從未看到的令人驚奇的東西，對(duì)此非常激動(dòng)。分析句意可知，B項(xiàng)符合題意。故選B項(xiàng)。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第七段“Bexler thinks the animals weren’t scared because they had never seen humans before.”分析句意可知，Bexler認(rèn)為動(dòng)物不害怕，因?yàn)樗麄円郧皬奈匆娺^(guò)人。分析句意可知D項(xiàng)（這些動(dòng)物沒有經(jīng)驗(yàn)也不怕人）符合題意，故選D項(xiàng)。

【4】【解題剖析】此題屬于推理判斷題中的根據(jù)事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)，推斷合理信息。答案需要從文章根據(jù)最后一段中的Bexler says. “We just scratched the surface, Anyone who goes there will come back with a mystery.”進(jìn)行推斷。

【答案定位】根據(jù)最后一段Bexler says. “We just scratched the surface, Anyone who goes there will come back with a mystery.” Bexler說(shuō)，“ 我們只是觸及表面，任何去那里的人都會(huì)帶著一個(gè)謎回來(lái)�！庇纱丝赏茢喑鲞@個(gè)地區(qū)仍然有許多未知的動(dòng)植物。

【推理關(guān)系】題干What can we conclude about the area Bruce Bexler explored? 文章內(nèi)容We just scratched the surface, Anyone who goes there will come back with a mystery.

Anyone who goes there will come back with a mystery..C選項(xiàng)The area still contains many plants and animals unknown to science. 關(guān)鍵詞 come back with a mystery和unknown to science。

根據(jù)事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)，推斷合理信息。推理題要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基礎(chǔ)上，作出一定判斷和推論，從而得到文章的隱含意義和深層意義。推理題所涉及的內(nèi)容可能是文中某一句話，也可是某幾句話，但做題的指導(dǎo)思想都是以文字信息為依據(jù)，既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根據(jù)的推理，也不能根據(jù)表面文字信息做多步推理。也就是說(shuō)，要做到判斷有據(jù), 推論有理, 忠實(shí)原文。切忌用自己的觀點(diǎn)代替作者的本意，切忌片面思考，得出片面結(jié)論。
