2022年考博英语-西北师范大学考前拔高综合测试题(含答案带详解)1. 单选题The modern world only recently reached the Yanomano, a native people of the Amazon basin. Sheltered by thick rainforest, the Yanomano lived a self-contained existence until gold was discovered in their jungle homeland. Miners flocked into the forests, cutting down trees and bringing disease and shot those Yanomano who would not get out of the way. In just seven years from the early 1980s, the population fell 20 per cent.Hands Around the World, a native American cultural association, says the Yanomano are believed to be the most culturally intact people in the world. They wear loin cloths, use fire sticks and decorate their bodies with dye from a red berry. They dont use the wheel and the only metal they use is what has been traded to them by outsiders. When a Yanomano dies, the body is burned and the remaining bones crushed into a powder and turned into a drink that is later consumed by mourners in memory of the dead.A Hands Around the World report says that in South America not only are the cultures and traditions in danger of disappearing, but some tribes are in danger of extinction. “The Yanomano is a well-known tribe that is rapidly losing its members through the destruction of Western disease,” the report says. Before illegal gold miners entered their rainforest, the Yanomano were isolated from modern society.They occupy dense jungle north of the Amazon River between Venezuela and Brazil and are catalogued by anthropologists (人类学家) as neo-Indians with cultural characteristics that date back more than 8,000 years. Each community lives in a circular communal house, some of which sleep up to 400, built around a central square.Though many Yanomano men are monogamous, it is not unusual for them to have two or more wives. Anthropologists from the University of Wisconsin say polygamy is a way to increase ones wealth because having a large family increases help with hunting and cultivating the land. These marriages result in a shortage of women for other men to marry, which has led to inter-tribal wars.Each Yanomano man is responsible for clearing his land for gardening, using slash-and-hum farming methods. They grow plantains, a type of banana eaten cooked, and hunt game animals, fish and anaconda (南美热带蟒蛇) using bows and arrows.1.Miners flocked into the forest and shot those Yanomano who( ).2.The organization called Hands Around the World believes that culturally, the Yanomano is the worlds( ).3.Which of the following is NOT true according to an American cultural association report?4.( )caused the Yanomano to have inter-tribal wars.5.We can infer from the passage that it is imperative for us to protect the Yanomano because( ).问题1选项A.sheltered in thick rainforestB.would not leave their jungle homelandC.lived a self-contained existenceD.would stand in their way问题2选项A.most primitive peopleB.most backward peopleC.most advanced peopleD.oldest people问题3选项A.In South America, the cultures are on the verge of extinction.B.In South America, the traditions are on the verge of extinction.C.In South America, the Yanomano can survive extinction.D.In South America, some tribes are on the verge of extinction.问题4选项A.The shortage of women resulting from polygamyB.The difference in wealth resulting from polygamyC.The shortage of women resulting from monogamyD.The difference in wealth resulting from monogamy问题5选项A.it is a culturally most intact peopleB.it is a primitive people deep in jungleC.it is a native people of the Amazon basinD.it is primitive people in danger of disappearing【答案】第1题:D第2题:A第3题:C第4题:C第5题:D【解析】1.客观细节题。由题干关键词“Miners”可以定位到文章第一段第三句Miners flocked into the forests, cutting down trees and bringing disease and shot those Yanomano who would not get out of the way.(矿工们涌进森林,砍伐树木,带来疾病,射杀那些不愿让路的雅诺玛诺人。),说明矿工射杀的是那些不愿意让出道路的雅诺玛诺人。因此D选项“会挡住他们的路”正确。A选项“躲在茂密的雨林中”,B选项“不会离开自己的丛林家园”,C选项“过着自给自足的生活”均不是矿工射杀他们的理由,所以A,B,C错误。2.推理判断题。由题干关键词“Hands Around the World”可以定位到文章第二段第一句Hands Around the World, a native American cultural association, says the Yanomano are believed to be the most culturally intact people in the world.(美国土著文化协会Hands Around the World表示,雅诺玛诺人被认为是世界上文化最完整的民族。),说明雅诺玛诺人有史以来的原始文化都保存得很完整。因此A选项“最原始的民族”正确。B选项“最落后的民族”,C选项“最先进的民族”,D选项“最古老的民族”均不符合题意,所以B,C,D错误。3.客观细节题。由题干关键词“report”可以定位到文章第三段,第三段第一句说到in South America not only are the cultures and traditions in danger of disappearing, but some tribes are in danger of extinction.(在南美洲,不仅文化和传统面临消失的危险,一些部落也面临灭绝的危险。),说明南美洲的文化、传统和一些部落正处于消失的边缘,所以A选项“在南美洲,文化正处于消亡的边缘”,B选项“在南美洲,传统正处于消亡的边缘”,D选项“在南美洲,有些部落濒临灭绝”表述符合原文,排除A,B,D。第三段第二句说到The Yanomano is a well-known tribe that is rapidly losing its members through the destruction of Western disease(雅诺玛诺人是一个著名的部落,由于西方疾病的破坏,这个部落的成员正在迅速流失。),说明雅诺玛诺人很难存活下来。因此C选项“在南美洲,雅诺玛诺人可以在消亡中幸存下来”表述不符合原文,本题选C。4.客观细节题。由题干关键词“inter-tribal wars”可以定位到文章第五段Though m
