13.C

14.B

15.C

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了咀嚼會消耗人體能量。AdamvanCasteren通過做咀嚼軟、硬口香

糖消耗能量的實驗證實了這個觀點。但是由于人們每天咀嚼的時間很短，所以不會消耗太多能量。

【點評】本題考點涉及推理判斷，詞義猜測和段落大意三個題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，首先要仔細閱

讀短文，掌握大意，然后結合具體的題目，再讀短文，從中找出相關信息，就可以確定正確答案。

12.考查段落大意。根據第二段中的"Eachparticipantwasaskedtochewtwotypesofgum一onesoftandtheother

tough-sotheycouldcomparetheeffectsofthegum'spropertiesontheparticipants*energyuse.“每個參與者都被要

求咀嚼兩種類型的口香糖——一種是軟的，一種是硬的——這樣他們就可以比較口香糖的特性對參與者能量

香糖會增加15%的能量消耗?？芍捉儡浛谙闾窃黾影俜种哪芰肯?，而咀嚼硬口香糖增加百分之十

五的能量消耗。本句中energyexpenditure和thisuse表達同一個意思，所以expenditure的意思是"消耗"。故選

Co

14.考查推理判斷。木艮據第四段"Thefindingssuggestthattheenergyuserequiredtochewalsoexplainwhywe

developedsuchstrongteethfortheaction.Anyamountofenergylostwhilechewingfood,makesthemealaless

efficientsourceofenergy,sowemustfinishtheactionassoonaspossible.”研究結果表明，咀嚼所需的能量也解釋

了為什么我們的牙齒如此強壯。在咀嚼食物時損失的任何能量都會使這頓飯的能量來源變得更低，所以我們

必須盡快完成這個動作?？芍?，這些發(fā)現(xiàn)表明，咀嚼造成的能量消耗也解釋了為什么我們會進化出咀嚼所需

的鋒利的牙齒。可推知，長鋒利的牙齒是為了盡快完成咀嚼的動作，進而降低咀嚼所消耗的能量。故選B。

15.考查推理判斷。根據最后一段中的"Itwillcontributelessthan1percentoftotaldailyenergyusebecauseof

relativelyshortdailychewingtime.”由于每天的咀嚼時間相對較短，它只占每日總能量消耗的不到1%?？芍?/p>

由于每天咀嚼的時間相對較短，每天咀嚼所消耗的能量占比小于百分之一，可推知，DylanThompson可能認

為在日常生活中，咀嚼不會消耗太多能量。故選C。

【答案】16.B；17.D；18.E；19.A；20.C

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，闡釋了好的社會關系讓我們健康快樂。第一，社會關系讓我們更快樂、

身體更好。第二，良好的社會關系才能產生益處。第三，良好的社會關系不僅保護身體，還能保護大腦。所

【點評】考查七選五，本文是一篇教育類閱讀，要求在理解細節(jié)信息的基礎上，著重考查對上下文的理解和

推理判斷能力。

16.根據第二段中的"Thefirstisthatsocialconnectionsarereallygoodforus”第一，社會關系對我們真的很好；
