D.Reserved.【答案】28.D29.B30.A31.B【語篇解讀】這是一篇說明文。主要介紹了發表在《自然通訊》（NatureCommunications）雜志上的一項新研究表明，將一種獨特的人類基因植入老鼠體內，會改變這些動物相互交流的方式，這表明這種基因可能在語音和語言中發揮作用。【28題詳析】細節理解題。根據第一段“Puttingtheuniquelyhumanversionofacertaingeneintomicechangedthewaythatthoseanimalsvocalizedtoeachother,suggestingthatthisgenemayplayaroleinspeechandlanguage,accordingtoanewstudyinthejournalNatureCommunications.(發表在《自然通訊》（NatureCommunications）雜志上的一項新研究表明，將一種獨特的人類基因植入老鼠體內，會改變這些動物相互交流的方式，這表明這種基因可能在語音和語言中發揮作用。)”可知，把人類特有的某種基因變體放入老鼠體內，改變了老鼠之間的發聲方式，這表明該基因變體可能在言語和語言中起作用，所以新研究發現了一個與言語和語言有關的人類基因變體。故選D項。【29題詳析】推理判斷題。根據第二段“Foryears,scientistshavebeentryingtofindthedifferentgenesthatmayhavebeeninvolvedintheevolutionofspeech,aslanguageisoneofthekeyfeaturesthatsetshumansapartfromtherestoftheanimalkingdom.“Therearegenesconcernedwithlanguagethathavenotbeenhuman-specific,”saysRobertDarnell,aphysicianatRockefellerUniversity,notinganewlydiscoveredgenecalledNOVA1,whichisactiveinthebrain,whereitproducesaproteinthatcanaffecttheactivityofothergenes.(多年來，科學家們一直在努力尋找可能與語言進化有關的不同基因，因為語言是人類區別于其他動物王國的關鍵特征之一。洛克菲勒大學（RockefellerUniversity）的醫生羅伯特·達內爾（RobertDarnell）指出，“有一些與語言有關的基因并不是人類所特有的。”他提到了一種新發現的名為NOVA1的基因，這種基因在大腦中很活躍，它在大腦中產生一種可以影響其他基因活動的蛋白質。)”以及第一段提到的基因與言語和語言的關系可推斷，NOVA1基因在大腦中活躍，能產生影響其他基因活動的蛋白質，且可能參與了言語的進化。故選B項。【30題詳析】推理判斷題。根據第四段“Onepartofthestudyinvolvedrecordingthemicemakingchirps(叫聲).Thesecriestypicallyoccurwhenpupsareseparatedfromtheirmothers,andlaterinlifemalesstringsimilarsoundstogetherintosongstocourtfemalemice.Itturnsoutthatgeneticallytransformedmousebabiesborninthesamelitterasnormalmicechirpeddifferentlytogettheirmother’sattention.Andgeneticallychangedadultmalessangnotablydifferentromanticsongs.(研究的一部分包括記錄老鼠發出的啁啾聲。這些叫聲通常發生在幼鼠與母鼠分離的時候，在以后的生活中，雄性會把類似的聲音串在一起，形成歌曲來追求雌性老鼠。事實證明，與正常小鼠出生在同一窩的轉基因小鼠嬰兒發出不同的啁啾以引起母親的注意。基因改變的成年雄性唱的浪漫歌曲明顯不同。)”可知，研究的一部分是記錄老鼠的叫聲，通過對比基因改造的老鼠和正常老鼠的叫聲，得出了研究結果，所以研究人員是通過研究記錄的老鼠的發聲來得到他們的發現的。故選A項。【31題詳析】推理判斷題。根據最后一段“Still,hethinksitwillmakescientistsevenmoreinterestedinexploringtheeffectsofthisuniquely-humangeneticvariantaswellashowitmightinteractwithothergenesknowntobeinvolvedinlanguage.Afterall,hesays,humansarespecialinhowwecommunicate,andknowingthelistofgenesinvolvedinlanguage“couldtellussomethingabouthowwecametobewhoweare.”(盡管如此，他認為這將使科學家們更有興趣探索這種獨特的人類基因變異的影響，以及它如何與其他已知的與語言有關的基因相互作用。畢竟，他說，人類在交流方式上是特別的，了解與語言有關的基因列表“可以告訴我們一些關于我們是如何成為現在這樣的人的事情。”)”可推知，Boeckx對實驗結論的態度是贊許的。故選B項。DParentsallovertheworldknowthatgettingkidstoeathealthyfoodsisanuphillbattle.Gettingthemtoavoidjunkfoodwhenthey'vegotsomespendingmoneyiseventougher.However,newresearchbySzu-chiHuang,anassociateprofessorofmarketingatStanfordGraduateSchoolofBusiness,showsthatchildrentendtochoosehealthierfoodifyouofferthemadeal.Intheirstudy,morethan2,400kidsages6to11wereofferedthree-daydiscounttheycoulduseatschooltobuyhealthybeverages(飲料)suchasacerealshakeoranaturalfruitbeverage.Thechildrendidreacttothepricepromotions,buyingmoreofthehealthyproducts.Huangbelievesthatthediscountsworkedpartlybecauseoftheirnovelty.“Ifwecanmakeitfun,likeapuzzleoragame,wedrawchildren’sattentiontopriceandvalue,”shesays,“whichmaynothavebeenimportanttothembefore.”Anotherkeyfindingiswhathappenedaftertheexperimentwasoverandthediscountsended.Atoneschoolchildrencontinuedtochoosehealthyoptionsmorefrequentlythanbeforethestudy.Thissurprisedtheresearcherssinceitrefutedwhatthey'dseenintheliterature.Thereasonfortheeffect,Huangbelieves,isthatthisstudypromotedahealthyoptionthatwasnotveryexpensivetobeginwith.Theexperimentencouragedchildrentopayattentiontoprice,sothisrelativelyinexpensivehealthyproductkeptitsappealevenafterthediscountremoved.However,thisalsosuggeststhatshort-termdiscountsonhealthyfoodcouldhavetheunintendedlonger-termeffectofdrawingcost-consciouskidstowardcheaper,lesshealthyproducts.Incontrast,long-termincentives(激勵)couldsteer(引導)kidstowardhealthyproductsthatareseenasrelativelyaffordable,bridgingthe“pricegap”betweeninexpensive,unhealthyfoodandmoreexpensivehealthyfoods.What’sessential,Huangsays,istohelpdevelophealthyconsumptionhabitsandpreferencesinchildrenthatlastbeyondthelengthofthepromotion.Huangsaysthisresearchhaslessonsformarketers,whooftenstruggletomakehealthyproductsattractivetokids.Italsocouldhelpschoolsprovidehealthieroptionssincetheyactas“gatekeepers”forwhatstudentseatduringtheschooldayandhowproductsarepromotedoncampus.32.WhatmaybeHuang'sexplanationofkids’positivereactiontothepricepromotions?A.Thediscountwasnewandfun.B.Theoptionwashealthierandcheaper.C.Kidscouldplaygameswithclassmates.D.Kidsrealizedthemeaningofpriceandvalue.33.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“refuted”inthethirdparagraphmean?A.Refused.
