43、er months).This sells out very fast,so we recommend you book it when you arrange your tour.”冰川泻湖上的游船是可选择的额外项目(仅在夏季提供)。这个项目销售很快,因此我们建议您在安排旅行时提前预订。可知,如果想要体验游船,最好先提前订票。故选D项。3.C推理判断题。根据文中关于旅行的信息、联系方式尤其是最后一句中的“please click here”可知,本文是一个关于旅行的广告,来自旅游网站。故选C项。【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了艺术家Zagar创作的“魔幻花园”。4.B细节理解题。根据第
44、二段中的“The couple helped the area by purchasing and repairing some old buildings,often adding colorful mosaics on both their private and public walls.”可知Zagar和妻子通过购买并翻新一些旧建筑(经常在他们的私人和公共墙壁上贴上彩色的马赛克砖)来帮助这个区域。也就是说他是通过改善周围环境来帮助邻里的,故选B项。5.D推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知Zagar于1994年开始在他工作室附近的一个废弃的停车场里着手创造魔幻花园。在接下来的14年里,他雕刻
45、了多层的墙壁,并装饰了这个3 000平方英尺的空间。这个装置艺术最后用无数的图案和色彩覆盖了这个城市街区的一半。其显示了Zagar诸多的艺术影响,并展示了他人生中的事件和经历。这一段主要是关于魔幻花园是如何建成的,由此推断第三段旨在告诉读者魔幻花园的早期历史。故选D项。6.D推理判断题。根据第四段中的“In 2002,the owner of the once-unused parking lot decided to sell the land in response to rising South Street property values.Unwilling to witness th
46、e destruction of Zagars neighborhood art environment,the community rushed to support the artist.”可知2002 年,由于南街地产价值攀升,这个曾经无人使用的停车场的主人决定出售这块地。社区的人不愿看到Zagar的社区艺术环境遭到破坏,纷纷声援这位艺术家。从邻居的行为可推知当地居民认为Zagar的作品是珍贵的宝物。故选D项。7.C细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The Magic Gardens is now a permanent art institution that is open to vis
47、itors throughout the year.Trained guides are available to lead tours of the Magic Gardens and Zagars surrounding public wall paintings.”可知魔幻花园如今是一处永久性的艺术机构,全年向游客开放。这里有训练有素的导游,可带领游客参观魔幻花园以及Zagar在花园周围创作的公共壁画。故选C项。【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。作为古代可以认为是最出名的商道,丝绸之路让商人们可以经此挣钱,但路途中也有着种种风险。8.B代词指代题。本句是一个主从复合句,前半句为让步状语从句,前
48、后形成转折,表示尽管穿行丝绸之路的商人可以获得高收益,但这也不是没有危险的,且下文讲到的危险也都与行走在丝绸之路上相关,所以it指代的应该是“行走在丝绸之路上”,故选B项。9.A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The Gobi Desert,the largest desert in Asia,consists mainly of rocky,hard earth.This feature made it easier for traders to travel across”可知,戈壁滩之所以较好穿越是由于其地面较为坚硬、好走,故选A项。10.D推理判断题。根据第四段中的“These place
49、s also promoted the exchange of goods,and even ideas,amongst the travelers who stopped there”可推知,休息站接待来自不同国家的旅客,故选D项。11.C主旨大意题。根据文章结构可知,作者在第一段给出了中心句“Although merchants could make huge profits traveling on the road,it was not without risk”,在中间几段讲述了商旅们在戈壁滩上面临的困难以及其他危险,最后一段再次强调即使过了戈壁滩,但还有其他危险等待着他们,故选C项
50、。【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。研究人员发明了一种智能键盘,可以通过分析用户的打字模式来判断该用户是不是安全访客。12.A细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词smart device定位到文章第二段的第一句“Researchers say they have invented a low-cost devicea smart keyboard”,由此可知,价格便宜是这个智能键盘的特点,故A项正确。13.C细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词powered定位到第四段的第一句“The device powers itself by generating electricity when a persons f
51、ingertips touch the keys,multi-layer plastic materialspressing and liftingwhich completes an electric circuit with the keyboard”,由此可知,这个智能键盘是靠人的指尖按下按键(多层塑料材料),然后再抬起,这样电路就完成了,即该设备通过这种方式发电来给自己供电,故C项正确。14.A词义猜测题。上文提到研究人员让100名志愿者用智能键盘打四遍“touch”,结合语境可知,画线词所在句表示该设备收集的数据可以用来识别出用户身份。故选A项。15.B主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文
52、主要介绍了一种智能键盘,它能根据使用者的打字模式来判断其身份,从而达到识别身份、保护隐私的功能,故B项最适合作本文标题。.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。给鸭子喂面包是许多人喜欢的消遣,这让我们想起童年时去公园的快乐时光。但你知道这会让它们陷入危险吗?它们可能会因此失去翅膀。作者建议用更健康的食物代替面包,尽我们所能保护珍贵的野生动物。16.B根据下文可知,吃太多面包会使它们的羽毛长得太快,这些额外的重量会对肌肉造成压力,是一种危险。B项“你知道那会让鸟类陷入危险吗?”符合语境,能够承上启下。故选B项。17.F根据上文的“Angel Wing can be cured if we reach b
53、irds before it has developed too severely”可知,如果我们在天使翅膀发育得太严重之前接触到它们,它就可以被治愈。F项“否则后果可能很严重,比如失去翅膀”,是对上文的补充,由此,引出了下文治愈成功的案例。故选F项。18.D根据下文可知,本段讲述的是面包对河流和湖泊等自然系统造成的危害。D项“面包也会对自然生态系统造成有害的变化。”符合语境,是本段的主旨句。故选D项。19.C本段讲述的是可以用特别开发的饲料代替面包喂鸭子。C项“这是否意味着我们必须停止有趣的喂鸭子的旅行?”符合语境,而且与“Definitely not.”相呼应。故选C项。20.G根据上文可知,此段建议人类用更健康的食物喂鸭子,这样做的目的是保护它们。G项“下一次,选择一个更健康的替代品,尽你所能保护我们珍贵的野生动物。”符合语境,承接上文,故选G项。
