The Book of Life
So far, scientists have named about 1.6 million living species, and that’s a just a fraction of that probably exists on Earth. With so many plants, animals and other creatures coveting the planet, it can be tough to figure out what type of spider is moving up your leg or what kind of bird is flying by.
A soon -to-be - started Web site might help. An international team of researchers has announced the creation of Web - based Encyclopedia of life(EOL). The project aims to catalog every species on Earth in a single, easy-to -use reference guide.
To get the encyclopedia started, the creators will use information from scientific databases that already exist. And eventually, in special sections of the site, nonscientist with specialized knowledge will get to join in. Bird -watchers, for example, will be able to input which bird they’ve seen and where. The technology for this kind of tool has only become available.
As the EOL develops, you might find it useful for school projects. The site will feature special pages for kids who are studying ecosystems(生态系统) in their neighborhoods. To make sure the encyclopedia is accurate, scientists will review much of the information added to it. People who visit the site will be able to choose to leave out pages that haven’t been reviewed.
Another convenient feature of the EOL is that you’ll be able to pick the level of detail you want to see to match your interest, age and knowledge. If you wanted to learn about bears for a science class report, for example, you could use the "novice" setting to get basic information about the animals. On the "expert" setting, on the other hand, you could get much more detailed information about the history, literature and exploration of bears.
It now takes years for scientist to collect all the data they need to describe and analyze species. The creator of the Encyclopedia of Life hope that their new tool will speed up that process.
The word "novice" in Paragraph 5 could be best replaced by______.
选项
A、scientist
B、creator
C、beginner
D、expert
答案
C
解析
本题难度较大,需要很强的把握词义能力。本题可以先看选项得到信息提示,也可以结合原文的提示:you could use the“novice”setting to get basic information about the animals.On the“expert”setting,on the other hand,you could get much more detailed information…,可以看出,novice的意思和basic相近,和expert相反,回来看选项,C项和原文句意相近,是答案。
