參考答案：71.characteristics

74.impact(s)

75.guard

80.fearful/afraid本文為記敘文。主要敘述人用大腦思考的代價。人類與動物相比有兩大特點：大大的大腦和直立行走。超大的大腦使人類擁有更高的智商，但卻消耗巨大的能量。直立行走讓人類擅長尋找食物和抵御敵人，解放了的雙手來更復雜的事。但卻讓人類遭受腰痛和頸部疼痛等。人類成為地球上最強大的動物，享受無與倫比的優(yōu)勢，卻對食肉動物懷有恐懼?！?1題詳解】考查信息歸納。根據(jù)第一段“allhumanbeingssharedefiningcharacteristics,suchaslargebrainsandtheabilitytowalkuprightontwolegs.”可知，大腦袋和雙腿直立行走的能力是人類共有的特點(characteristics)。故填characteristics?！?2題詳解】考查信息歸納。72題就是對第三段內容的總結。第三段主要敘述了人類的大腦大的缺點。因此本空格填寫disadvantages?！?3題詳解】考查信息來源。根據(jù)第三段中的“ahugebrainisahugedrain--consumptionofenergy”以及“It(thebrain)consumes25%ofthebody’senergywhenthebodyisatrest.Bycomparisonthebrainsofapesrequireonly8%ofrest-timeenergy”可知，人類巨大的大腦是一個巨大的能量消耗。當身體處于休息時，大腦要消耗25%的身體能量。相比之下，類人猿的大腦只需要8%的休息時間能量。人類與動物相比，動物需要的能量（energy）要比人類少。故填energy?！?4題詳解】考查信息歸納題。分析空后的75--78小題所在的第五段和第六段的內容可知，此部分主要敘述了直立行走對人類的影響。故填impact(s)?！?5題詳解】考查考查信息轉換。根據(jù)第五段的第一句“Anotheruniquehumancharacteristicisthatwewalkupright.Standingup,it’seasiertofindfoodorenemies.”可知，另一個獨特的人類特征是我們直立行走。站起來，更容易找到食物或敵人。找到敵人，就是為了防御敵人。因為or為連詞，在此句中連結兩個動詞短語，故空格填動詞?！癵uardagainst...”為固定搭配，意為“防御......”，故本空填寫guard。【76題詳解】考查信息來源。根據(jù)第五段中的”...theirarmsthatareunnecessaryformoving

aroundarefreedforotherpurposes,likethrowingstonesorsignaling.Asaresult,humanscanperformverycomplextaskswiththeirhands.”可知，解放了的雙手可以用于做其它的事，即有其它的目的。故填other?！?7題詳解】考查信息歸納。根據(jù)第五段“walkinguprighthasdisadvantages.Thebonestructureofourancestorsdevelopedformillionsofyearstosupportacreaturethatwalkedonfourandasmallhead.Adjustingtoanuprightpositionwasquiteachallenge,especiallywhentheboneshadtosupportanextra-largeskull.”可知，直立行走也有缺點。我們祖先進化了上百億年，?骼也只能支撐四肢行走和有一個相對較小的頭。直立行走對人類的骨架是一個相當大的挑戰(zhàn)，限制了人的頭腦的大小。故本空填limits?！?8題詳解】考查信息轉換。根據(jù)第六段“...,Humankindpaidforitsvisionandskillfulhandswithbackachesandpainfulnecks.”可知，直立對人類的骨架是一個相當大的挑戰(zhàn)，人類為自己的視力和靈巧的雙手付出了代價，換來的是腰酸背痛和脖子疼痛。由此得出，直立導致身體方面的(physical)痛苦，故填physical?！?9題詳解】根據(jù)最后一段“Weassumethatalargebrainmakeshugeadvantages.Itseemsobviousthatthesehavemadehumankindthemostpowerfulanimal

onearth.”可知，我們假設大腦越大，優(yōu)勢越大。很明顯，這些使得人類成為地球上最強大的動物。由此可推斷出我們的大腦比動物大，在智力方面人類比動物更聰明，即在智力方面擊敗了(beat)其他動物。故本空填beat。【80題詳解】根據(jù)最后一段“...humansenjoyedalloftheseadvantagesforafull2millionyearsduringwhichtheyweakandmarginalcreatures.Thushumanswholivedamillionyearsago,despitetheirbigbrainsandsharpstonetools,livedinconstantfearofmeat--eatinganimals.”可知，盡管人類享受著所有這些優(yōu)勢，但也是弱小的生物。因此盡管擁有巨大的大腦和鋒利的石器，但也曾經(jīng)對食肉動物仍舊害怕/恐懼。因為空前是系動詞，故本空要填形容詞(afraid/fearful)可知，此處要填名詞，故填fearful/afraid。
