C(真题·台州天台)
①Did you know that birds can also get “road rage(路怒症)”? A research team from Anglia Ruskin University(ARU) in the UK visited the Galapagos Islands to do a study. They found that car noises make birds angry.
②The Galapagos Islands are on the eastern part of the Pacific Ocean, and are home to a large number of animals and plants.
③The scientists studied a very common type of yellow warbler(黄莺) in the area. The places that they looked at were either 50 or 100 metres away from the road. In each place, scientists played recorded traffic noise to the yellow warblers to see how they behaved.
④They found that no matter how far the birds were from the road, they sang louder if the place was noisy. In the places with more people, they even sang for a longer time.
⑤What's more, the yellow warblers living 50 metres away from the road were loud and angry. For example, they got very close to the speaker and flew across it over and over again. Those 100 metres away from the noise, however, were quieter.
⑥With more human activity, the number of cars on the Galapagos Islands has gone up in recent years. The birds often use songs to drive people and animals away, but if the traffic noise was louder than their singing, they became more aggressive (富于攻击性的), an ARU scientist told Science Daily.
(
A. To study the plants in the place.
B. To protect the yellow warblers.
C. To count the number of the birds.
D. To research the “road rage” of birds.
(
A. They played traffic noise to different kinds of birds in the same place.
B. They played traffic noise to yellow warblers at two different places.
C. They watched yellow warblers in the places without doing anything.
D. They put yellow warblers in the city and countryside to see the difference.
(
A. Because they were trying to drive away the noise.
B. Because they were showing their happiness.
C. Because they were trying to make friends.
D. Because they were competing with other birds.

本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍英国安格利亚鲁斯金大学的研究团队在加拉帕戈斯群岛开展的研究:鸟类会因交通噪音产生“路怒”,表现为鸣叫更大声、更具攻击性。
第23题:细节理解题。解析:根据第一段可知研究团队前往加拉帕戈斯群岛是为了研究鸟类的“路怒”现象;A研究植物、B保护黄莺、C统计鸟类数量均不符合原文描述。故答案为D。
第25题:细节理解题。解析:根据最后一段可知黄莺在嘈杂处大声鸣叫是为了驱散噪音(因为噪音盖过了它们的鸣叫声);B展示快乐、C吸引同类、D与其他鸟类竞争均不符合原文逻辑。故答案为A。

【分析】
本题为说明文阅读理解,主要考查细节理解能力。解题时需根据题干关键词定位原文对应段落,逐一比对选项与原文内容,排除不符合的选项得出答案。
第23题:关键词为“why”“research team”“Galapagos Islands”,定位第一段明确研究目的;
第24题:关键词为“how”“study”“Paragraph3”,定位第三段明确研究的对象和地点;
第25题:关键词为“why”“sing louder”“last paragraph”,定位最后一段明确黄莺大声鸣叫的原因;
第26题:结合原文中黄莺的表现(50米处更吵闹、人多处唱更长)与插图位置,判断符合的地点。
【解析】
23. 细节理解题。根据第一段“Did you know that birds can also get 'road rage(路怒症)'? A research team from Anglia Ruskin University(ARU) in the UK visited the Galapagos Islands to do a study.”可知,研究团队前往加拉帕戈斯群岛是为了研究鸟类的“路怒”现象,A(研究植物)、B(保护黄莺)、C(统计鸟类数量)均与原文不符,故选D。
24. 细节理解题。根据第三段“The scientists studied a very common type of yellow warbler... The places that they looked at were either 50 or 100 metres away from the road. In each place, scientists played recorded traffic noise to the yellow warblers...”可知,科学家在两个不同地点(离路50米和100米处)对黄莺播放交通噪音,A(不同种类鸟类)、C(无操作)、D(城市乡村)均不符合,故选B。
25. 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The birds often use songs to drive people and animals away, but if the traffic noise was louder than their singing, they became more aggressive”可知,黄莺在嘈杂处大声唱歌是为了驱散噪音,B(展示快乐)、C(交朋友)、D(与其他鸟竞争)均不符合,故选A。
26. 细节理解题。根据第五段“the yellow warblers living 50 metres away from the road were loud and angry”和第四段“In the places with more people, they even sang for a longer time”,结合插图,B处靠近房屋(人多)且离路较近(约50米),符合黄莺唱得最响或最长的条件,故选B。
【答案】
