8、题型，有顺序原则。注意看清是TRUE还是YES, 本篇是TRUE/ FALSE/ NOT GIVEN解题步骤：1. 速读句子，找出考点词（容易有问题的部分）。考点词：比较级，最高级，数据（时间），程度副词，特殊形容词，绝对化的词（only, most, each, any, every, the same as等）2. 排除考点词，在余下的词中找定位词，去原文定位。3. 重点考察考点词是否有提及，是否正确。TRUE的原则是同义替换，至少有一组近义词。FALSE是题目和原文截然相反，不可共存，通常有至少一组反义词。NOT GIVEN原文未提及，不做任何推断，尤其多考察题目的主语等名词在原文是否有
9、提及。4. 通读所有段落，依次寻找答案因为每段都会有答案，因此现在所需要做的事情就是到每段去找答案。要注意在选出信息后，要在选出的段落上做上记号，以免浪费时间。剑桥雅思推荐原文练习剑6 Motivating Employees under Adverse ConditionsReading Passage 2Title:鳄鱼的进化the crocodiles evolutionQuestion types:段落大意 Heading填空配对文章内容回顾详细讲述了crocodiles的生活习惯，如何控制自己的温度以及喜欢的生存环境等。包括提到鳄鱼的特点、历史以及对两组处在不同水供给环境下的生存情况
10、对比。旧文P2=V09121英文原文阅读Early and extinct forms of crocodiles are called Crocodilia. They descended from psuedosuchians who walked on their hind legs, and lived during the late Triassic period. The skull of the crocodile still resembles in many ways those of the primitive archosaurs. Their bodies, howev
11、er, developed the external appearance of the phytosaurs because of their aquatic lifestyle. The crocodile is the only archosaur that survived the still unknown factors that wiped out most of the reptile class at the end of the Mesozoic period. Though modern crocodiles walk on 4 legs, their two legge
12、d ancestry is revealed by their hind legs which are longer than the front legs, making them slant forward when they stand. The crocodilian skull still carries a basically archosaurean shape. It has a rather long, pointed skull, especially in the fish eating species of crocodiles.The biggest, most pr
13、ominent change in the crocodile since its early days is to the palate. The palate is the flat bony part at the roof of the mouth. In phytosaurs, the nostril holes in the palate are located under the outer nostrils, which were shifted to the far back of their snout. However in crocodiles, the nostril
14、s are located at the front of the snout. This caused a problem in keeping the breathing passages from filling with water. Millions of years of evolution solved this problem. A second palate was formed, channeling the air above the mouth and into the throat passageway, where it can be opened and clos
15、ed by a special flap or valve of skin. Crocodiles are actually classified on the basis of how far back their secondary palate extends, ranging from those who have no secondary palate to those with a fully formed palate separating the air they breathe from the water in their mouths.The first crocodil
16、ians were called Protosuchians, living during the late Triassic to early Jurassic times. The difference between these and modern crocodiles is in the legs. The Protosuchians had very strong overdeveloped legs, which were set at right angles to the body. These allowed the animal to carry itself highe
17、r off the ground and probably gave them much more speed than their modern day counterparts. These legs also lead scientists to believe that these reptiles mostly lived on land. Beginning in the Jurassic period, the crocodilians quickly filled the gap of the extinct phytosaurs, becoming large and ful
18、ly aquatic reptiles. The Mesosuchians were the next evolution of the protosuchians and lived during the Jurassic period and beyond. These reptiles had not yet developed a secondary palate, but were much more adapted to aquatic life than its predecessor. They had strong armor plating, made from a ser
19、ies of paired large bones on their back with smaller plates on its undersides. They spread throughout the land and lived in fresh water, though some adapted for sea life. These were called Geosaurs. Geosaurs lost their bony armor, their legs modified into paddles and their tail tips turned down, sim

22、乐的起源和影响。描述音乐和语言之间的联系和关系。Blacking Mitten是其中一个重要人物。英文原文阅读We can only guess as to how music was created in the primitive psyche of the time. What follows is pretty much my guess.Early man most likely took some interest in the sounds around him, in some cases it meant life or death, as in the roar of a
23、tiger, or it was pleasing to the ear, as in a bird singing away. I can imagine that after a successful hunt, the hunters would prance and growl around a fire emulating the sounds of the fierce beast they had just slain. They might even have started hitting sticks together in an attempt to emulate th
24、e sounds of their clubs thumping dully upon the head of some prey, or the hollow melon sound of a neighbors skull when they were fighting amongst themselves over some chunk of meat, or for the best looking mate. The former most likely, due to the fact that the latter would be a six of one half dozen
25、 of the other proposition, cosmetics having yet to be invented.In any case, as far as the origin of music is concerned, drums were probably the first primitive music instrument if we remove the human voice from the equation.The Encyclopedia Britannica states Drums appear with wide geographic distrib
26、ution in archaeological excavations from Neolithic times onward; one excavated in Moravia is dated at 6000 BC. Early drums consisted of a section of hollowed tree trunk covered at one end with reptile or fish skin and were struck with the hands. Later, the skin was taken from hunted game or cattle,
27、and sticks were used. The double-headed drum came later, as did pottery drums in various shapes”. Basically “Bangin on the bongos like a chimpanzee” was probably our first artistic expression in the realm of music. ( Money for NothingDire Straits)The next logical step up from percussion instruments
28、may have been in the woodwind or string family. Imagine a primitive man fascinated by the sound of the wind blowing over some hollow reed, then recreating the effect for his fellow villagers at the next log bashing party, what a hit he would have been! Regular life of the party, such as it was.Panpi
29、pes would have been an easy progression for the primitive mind of the time, stick a bunch of varying length reeds together and voila, let the good times roll. The move from the panpipe to the flute must have taken a much greater leap of faith for the period, yet wooden and bone flutes discovered in
30、china have been dated as far back as 9,000 years ago, and one bone flute made from mammoth bone dates back 35,000 years and has a 4 note scale comparable to the Do, Re, Mi, Fa, scale that was so adamantly drummed into our little grade school heads.So some concept of a musical scale existed even if t

Still the jump from blowing over a hollow reed to blowing down a tube with graduated fingering holes was a large one.The string section most likely started when some brave soul realized that the sinews garnered from the animals they hunted h
32、ad uses beyond the traditional binding and stitching functions. From the simple, primitive musical “twang” of a string stretched on a bow as in the Brazilian “berimbau” to the myriad of complex stringed instruments in use today, from violins, to guitars, to pianos, and the many cultural variations thereof.Pythagoras was credited with the mathematics of music as we know it today. His followers “The Pythagoreans” were all musicians as well as mathematicians. According to legend, Pythagoras discovered that musical notes could be translated in
