2017届高三英语人教版综合能力测试五

　　A．Underground.

　　B．Under fallen leaves.

　　C．In damp environments.

　　D．In streams.

　　57．From what Carlos says, we can learn that ________.

　　A．the new species was once discovered some fifty years ago

　　B．the discovery was not so unusual because they had studied it for over a century

　　C．they were not sure whether they had discovered the distinct species

　　D．there was no doubt about their discovery

　　58．In what way is the newlydiscovered species of salamander distinct from other species of this kind?

　　A．It breathes through skin.

　　B．Its males and females have different colours.

　　C．It lives in streams.

　　D．It is an amphibian.

　　答案与解析

　　55．A　写作意图题。通读全文可知作者的目的就是向读者介绍了一个新的物种的发现。所以A为最佳选项。其它选项都是文章涉及的细节。

　　56．C　细节理解题。从文章的倒数第二段可知，lungless salamander 喜欢栖息在潮湿的环境中，其它选项都过于具体与片面。

　　57．D　句意理解题。文中两次引用了 Carlos 所说的话，一处是“This animal is really an amazing find，”； “It is the first genus of amphibian, indeed of any fourfooted vertebrate (脊椎动物)，discovered in the US in nearly 50 years.”从这两句中我们知道A、B错；另一处是“The salamander group of the US, particularly of the southern Appalachians, has been intensively studied for well over a century, so the discovery of such a discovery of such a distinct form was completely unsuspected，”可知D正确。
