陈于平回答:
  1.C2.D3.B4.A   分析:   本文研究了蛋白质和人类的谈话能力的关系,结果发现女性比男性更为健谈。1.推理题。根据文章第二段Theirfindingscameafteritwaspreviouslyclaimedthatladiesspeakabout20000wordsaday–over13000morethanmen.“Thisstudyisoneofthefirsttoreportasexdifferenceintheexpressionofalanguage-associatedproteininhumansoranimals”saidProfMargaretMcCarthywholedthestudy可知他并不是第一个研究女性更为健谈的人。故C正确。2.猜词题。根据本句Butwhenthepupswerereturnedtotheirmother’scageshefussedoverhersonsfirst.可知当小老鼠回到母亲的笼子的时候,母亲先关注她的儿子们。所以“fussedover”是“注意”的意思,故D正确。3.细节题。根据文章第三段45行“BasedonourobservationsweassumehigherlevelsofFoxp2ingirlsandhigherlevelsofFoxp2inmaleratsisanindicationthatFoxp2proteinlevelsareassociatedwiththemorecommunicativesex”可知这个研究关注的是研究Foxp2蛋白质和人的语言能力的关系。故B正确。4.标题确定题。根据文章主题段第一段Americanresearchersfoundfemalesarethemoretalkativesexbecauseofaspecial“languageprotein(蛋白质)”inthebrain.可知本文研究的是为什么女性更加健谈。故A正确。   考点:   考查科普类短文阅读
