问题 单项选择题

鲨鱼是海中的恐怖杀手,表皮多呈单调的灰色。乍看之下,这似乎是在潜近猎物时,不容易被发现的一种保护色,但事实不然。动物的体色有多种功能,除了掩护(保护)自己外,还有向同类异性炫耀的作用。盆鱼的眼睛跟多数鱼类一样,有一显著的不同点是,它的视网膜上只有分辨明暗的杆状细胞,任何东西在它们的眼中只是不同层次的“灰色”而已。因此,即使有了缤纷多彩的体色,然在异性眼中也是“毫无意义”的,甚至是进化上的一种“消费”。所以它们就一直保持着最纯朴的体色——灰色。从这段文字中提炼的寓意不正确的是( )。

A.觉得世界是单纯的人,他自己也可能是一个单纯的人

B.单纯的人如果以为世界都是单纯的,可能会造成严重的后果

C.单纯的人如果以为世界都是单纯的,不一定造成严重的后果

D.不论人还是动物,简单的生理机制是形成单纯的根本原因

答案

参考答案:D

解析:本题可用排除法,选项ABC都是可以在文中提炼出来的寓意。选项D本身错误,在文中也未体现,故本题选D。

阅读理解

People often use gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that the gestures can be understood in different ways.

It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language.  So does laughter or crying.  Fear is another emotion(情感) that is shown in much the same way all over the world.  In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and began to tremble” suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. 

However, “he opened his eyes wide” is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese, surprise can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out their tongues!” “Stretching out your tongue” in English is an insulting(侮辱的, 无礼的)gesture or expresses strong dislike.

Even in the same culture, people differ in their ability to understand and express feelings.  Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear,  anger,  love and happiness on people’s faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to understand body language than younger people do.
