2019高考英语昆明二轮练习资料：阅读理解03含解析2018高考英语昆明市二轮复习资料：阅读理解03含答案 (三)A(2017·全国卷，A)Since 1984 ，Philadelphia has been cleaning up its act. One by one，graffiti­covered walls are being changed into outdoor art. So far，more than 1,800 murals (壁画) have been painted. Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city. The walls that were once ugly with graffiti (涂鸦) are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art, thanks to the Mural Arts Program (MAP). Its work makes schools and public places attractive, and its citizens very proud. The program began as part of Philadelphia's Anti­Graffiti Network. Jane Golden is the MAP's artistic director. “When people ask me what our program is about, ”she says，“I answer them with one word: hope.” Each year, the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops. Some one­time graffiti writers even help paint MAP murals.The MAP's work, says Golden, is all about developing a sense of community (社区). When a neighborhood requests a mural，the MAP works with the people there to develop a message. Some messages have been “Safe Streets，”“Love and Care, ”and “Peace Walk.”The MAP receives up to 50 requests for murals each week. Last year，the workers painted 140 murals.“The making of a mural enters people's collective memory as an extraordinary，pleasant moment in neighborhood history，”says Golden，who began as a muralist in Los Angeles. 本文论述了费城通过MAP这一项目逐步地将墙体上的涂鸦变成了一种室外艺术形式——壁画，从而给人们带来了新的希望。

But this theory may be wrong，explains Fred H．Harrington，a professor who studies wolf behaviour.Indeed，there have been times when wolves have been seen one moment howling in a chorus，and the next，quarreling among each other.It appears that usually the lowest­ranking members of the pack may actually be “punished” for joining in the chorus at times.So is howling a way to strengthen a social bond or just a way to reconfirm status among its members? —Why do wolves howl for sure?What is clear，however，is that howling is often used among packmates to locate each other.Hunting grounds are distant and it happens that wolves may separate from one another at times.When this happens，howling appears to be an excellent means of gathering.Howling，interestingly，is a contagious behaviour.When one wolf starts to howl，very likely others will follow.This is often seen to occur in the morning，as if wolves were doing some sort of “roll call”where wolves all howl together to report their presence.动物的嚎叫有其目的性，而人的对唱也是为了呼唤同伴，所以人们认为两者在这一方面是相同的；但专家似乎发现，狼的嚎叫不仅仅是为了呼朋引伴，因为有时也会争斗，因此，研究之后，专家发现：狼的嚎叫可能是个传染形式的行为，有时也是为了呼唤同伴。

5．What is the possible similarity between wolves' howling together and humans' singing in chorus?A．The act of calling each other.B．The sense of accomplishment.C．The act of hunting for something.D．The sense of belonging to a group.答案：D细节判断题从第二段的信息词“bond better together”以及“help the pack stay together”等可以确定两者的共同点与选项D的说法是一致的6．Why does Harrington think the“social bond”theory may be wrong?A．Wolves separate from each other after howling.B．Wolves tend to protect their hunting grounds.C．Wolves sometimes have quarrels after howling together.D．Wolves of low rank are encouraged to join in the chorus.答案：C。

细节判断题根据第三段中提到的“and the next, quarrelling among each other”以及“it appears that...be punished for joining...”都可以说明选项C的说法是符合原文之意的7．Researchers are sure that wolves often howl to________.A．show their ranks B．fin。
