    B. Researches are now being made to study the significance of fish sounds.

    C. Sea animals have a sharper hearing ability than men.

    D. Sounds made by fish cannot be transmitted through the air.


    正确答案:B
    答案为 B。根据第一段第二至第五句, Actually, their talk may be as meaningful as much of our own.For example,some sea animals use their  "voices" to locate their food in the ocean expanses;others use their "voices" to let their fellows know of their locations;and still others,as a means of obtaining mates.Sometimes, "speaking" may even mean the difference between life and death to a sea animal.It appears in some cases that when a predator approaches,the prey depends on no more than the sounds it makes to escape 作出该项选择。选项 A中only不确切;选择 C和D在文中都没提到。

    A.sensible
    B.senseless
    C.sensitive
    D.sensory

    答案:D
    解析:
    考查形容词辨析。句意为“我们的__________随着年龄的增长而下降。比如说,到60岁的时候,多数人失去了他们40%的嗅觉能力和50%的味觉能力”。sensible意为“明智的,合情理的”,senseless意为“失去知觉的,不省人事的”,sensitive意为“敏感的”,sensory意为“感觉的,传递感觉的”。根据语境,应为感官能力随着年龄的增长而下降。故选D。

    A.Having convinced
    B.Been convinced
    C.Convincing
    D.Convinced

    答案:D
    解析:
    考查过去分词作状语。句意为“确认自己将获得晋升后,他很感激并更加努力地工作”。过去分词或过去分词短语作状语时,表示被动和完成,在句子中一般可以表示时间、原因等,其逻辑主语和句子主语一致。如:Satisfied with what he did,the teacherpraised him in class.由于老师对他所做的事情很满意,于是在班上表扬了他。有些及物动词的过去分词形容词化了,并不强调被动意味,而主要表示一种状态或结果。题干 Convinced that he would get a promotion soon作原因状语,相当于Because he was convinced that he would get a promotion soon,故选D。
