B【解析】本文是一篇应用文。文章提供了未来食物选择的几个营销活动,以供人们做出选择。【21题详解】细节理解题。根据Personalized Meal Plans中的“Send us your DNA, and we will predict your food preferences!”可知,这个营销活动需要你发送自己的DNA,然后其根据DNA信息将预测出你的食物偏好。故选D。【22题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Pick fruits with your family Yongshen
34、g Ji”可知,你可以与家人一起享受采摘水果的快乐。该营销活动提供的联系人是Yongsheng Ji。故选B。【23题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Our steaks are sourced from natural grasslands, where cattle now fill the ecological roles.”可知,这个营销活动的牛排来自天然草原,那里的牛吃着原生态的草。由此可知,在天然草原长大的牛吃的是没有污染的草,因此牛排是绿色无污染的。故选B。BIn 2012, Kim Stemple was a special education teacher and a
35、solid performer in her age group in marathons. And then she got sick. After three years of tests and treatments, the doctors figured out she has a rare mitochondrial disease that is causing progressive mental and physical health to go worse. They told her there was no cure and that this disease woul
36、d take her life.Yet Stemple kept running and competing in marathons. One day she was training for the Rock “n” Roll Marathon in Las Vegas when she became too sick to travel. The usually outgoing Stemple sunk into disappointment. But then she received a gift it was a marathon medal given to her by a
37、friend.Stemple hung the medal near her hospital bed and it was an instant conversation starter with doctors, nurses and anyone who came to visit. That medal pulled Stemple out of her disappointment. And that gave Stemple the idea to start We Finish Together, an organization devoted to connecting run
38、ners who wish to donate medals with those who might appreciate them. Stemple pens a handwritten note of encouragement on each of the medals she gives away. Recipients have included hospital patients, residents of homeless shelters and even doctors and nurses who care for the very ill. “This gives th
39、em a connection to someone,” says Stemple. “If they receive a medal, they know someone cares.”Can a simple medal really make a difference? Joan Musarra said yes, who suffered from a serious disease. “I opened my package containing my new medal and the notes of positive, warm thoughts. I was really e
40、xcited,” she wrote to Stemple. “It means so much to me to feel that I am not alone.”24. What can we infer about Stemple before she got too sick to exercise?A. She was doubtful.B.

A【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Kim Stemple曾是一位特教教师,她不幸患上了不治之症;朋友们赠送的奖牌使她创建了一个组织,通过收集、分发奖牌的方式来激励需要者,帮助他们振作起来。【24题详解】推理判断题。根据第二
43、段中的Yet Stemple kept running and competing in marathons. One day she was training for the Rock “n” Roll Marathon in Las Vegas when she became too sick to travel. The usually outgoing Stemple sunk into disappointment.(然而,Stemple坚持跑马拉松,参加比赛。有一天,她正在拉斯维加斯为摇滚马拉松训练,突然病得不能去旅行了。通常外向的Stemple陷入了失望)可推知,Stemple在
44、她病得不能运动之前是积极、乐观的。故选D项。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句But then she received a gift it was a marathon medal given to her by a friend.(但后来她收到了一份礼物那是一位朋友送给她的马拉松奖章)和第三段中的That medal pulled Stemple out of her disappointment. And that gave Stemple the idea to start We Finish Together, an organization devoted to conn
45、ecting runners who wish to donate medals with those who might appreciate them.(那枚奖章使Stemple从失望中解脱出来。这给了Stemple一个启动We Finish Together组织的想法,一个致力于把那些希望捐赠奖牌的运动员和那些可能欣赏奖牌的人联系起来的组织)可知,朋友送的奖牌使她从失望中振作起来,激励她建立We Finish Together组织。故选C项。【26题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的And that gave Stemple the idea to start We Finish Toge
46、ther, an organization devoted to connecting runners who wish to donate medals with those who might appreciate them.(这给了Stemple一个启动We Finish Together组织的想法,一个致力于把那些希望捐赠奖牌的运动员和那些可能欣赏奖牌的人联系起来的组织)可知,该组织是通过收集、分发奖牌给需要者的方式来实施帮助的。故选B项。【27题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Can a simple medal really make a difference? Joan Mus
47、arra said yes, who suffered from a serious disease.(一枚简单的奖牌真的能起到作用吗?得了重病的Joan Musarra说,是的)和“I was really excited,” she wrote to Stemple. “It means so much to me to feel that I am not alone.”(“我真的很兴奋,”她写信给Stemple。“感觉到自己不孤单对我意义重大。”)可推断出,Musarra写信给Stemple旨在表明奖牌对她起到了积极影响。故选A项。CWhale researchers believe
48、they have found a new way to measure the amount of stress felt by whales when they experience serious threats, such as being hit by a ship, and they say the technique could help protect the huge sea creatures from dying off.American Rosalind Rolland is the lead scientist on the project. She and her
49、team are with the New England Aquarium in Boston, Massachusetts. They measured stress hormones (荷尔蒙 ) by studying baleen, a substance found in the upper part of the mouth of some kinds of whale. She explains that the baleen serves as a record that shows a spike in stress hormones when whales face da
50、ngers such as a changing climate and ship strikes. Scientists can then read these records, similar to reading the rings on a tree.Understanding the information is important because whales who often feel stressed are less likely to be reproductive and more likely to become sick. That combination is n
51、ot good for the whale population which is already dangerously low.The scientists did their work on a whale that had become trapped in fishing equipment, which some scientists estimate kills up to 300, 000 whales and dolphins annually. It was finally killed by Inuit hunters who found it trying to dra
52、g the fishing equipment. The hunters said the whale seemed to lack energy. When scientists examined the dead whale, they found its mouth showed an increase in stress hormones 20 times greater than normal.Regina Asmutis-Silvia is a biologist with the Whale and Dolphin Conservation in Massachusetts. S
53、he didnt participate in the research, but she says it is important. “We clearly understand that stress is bad for humans. We also need to understand that stress is bad for other animals, too,” she adds.28. What does the text mainly tell us?A. The dangers the whale often faces.B. The measures to stop
54、 sea life being hit.C. A discovery to measure stress on whales.D. A way to protect the mouth of the whale.29. Which of the following can best replace “spike” underlined in Paragraph 2?A. Rise.B. Change.C. Crash.D. Slide.30. What may a whale living a stressful life be like?A. Calm and fierce.B. Unhea
55、lthy and unable to reproduce.C. Uneasy and energetic.D. Sizeable and likely to lose appetite.31. Why does the author mention the words by Regina?A. To move on to another topic.B. To stress the importance of the finding.C. To tell the necessity of studying other animals.D To show the similarity betwe
56、en humans and animals.【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. B【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了,研究人员找到了一种新的方法测量鲸鱼在遭遇严重威胁时所感受到的压力,这项技术可以帮助保护这些巨大的海洋生物免于灭绝。【28题详解】主旨大意题。由第一段中的“Whale researchers believe they have found a new way to measure the amount of stress felt by whales when they experience serious threats, such as being hit b
57、y a ship, and they say the technique could help protect the huge sea creatures from dying off.”(鲸鱼研究人员认为,他们找到了一种新的方法来测量鲸鱼在遭遇严重威胁(如被船撞)时所感受到的压力,他们说,这项技术可以帮助保护这些巨大的海洋生物免于死亡。)可知文章主要讲一项测量鲸鱼压力的发现。故选C项。【29题详解】词义猜测题。由第二段中的“She explains that the baleen serves as a record that shows a spike in stress hormone
58、s when whales face dangers such as a changing climate and ship strikes.”(她解释说,当鲸鱼面临气候变化和船只撞击等危险时,须鲸的压力荷尔蒙会急剧上升。)和第四段最后一句“When scientists examined the dead whale, they found its mouth showed an increase in stress hormones 20 times greater than normal.”(当科学家检查死鲸时,他们发现它的嘴显示出压力荷尔蒙的增加是正常的20倍。),可知鲸鱼面临危险时,
59、压力荷尔蒙处于增长状态,所以死鲸压力荷尔蒙的增加是正常的20倍,此处spike意为“增加、上升”。故选A项。【30题详解】细节理解题。由第三段中的“Understanding the information is important because whales who often feel stressed are less likely to be reproductive and more likely to become sick.”(了解这些信息是很重要的,因为经常感到压力的鲸鱼不太可能繁殖,更容易生病。)可知经常感到压力的鲸鱼繁殖率低,更容易生病。故选B项。31题详解】推理判断题。
60、由最后一段中的“She didnt participate in the research, but she says it is important. “We clearly understand that stress is bad for humans. We also need to understand that stress is bad for other animals, too,” she adds.”(她没有参与这项研究,但她说这很重要。“我们清楚地知道压力对人类有害。我们还需要明白,压力对其他动物也有害,”她补充说。),可推断出作者引用Regina的话是强调该发现的重要性
61、。故选B项。DIn colleges around the country, most students are also workers.The reality of college can be pretty different from the images presented in movies and television. Instead of the students who wake up late, party all the time, and study only before exams, many colleges are full of students with
62、pressing schedules of not just classes and activities, but real jobs, too.This isnt a temporary phenomenon. The share of working students has been on the rise since the 1970s, and one-fifth of students work year round. About one-quarter of those who work while attending school have both a full-cours
63、e load and a full-time job. The arrangement can help pay for tuition (学费) and living costs, obviously. And theres value in it beyond the direct cause: such jobs can also be vital for developing important professional and social skills that make it easier to land a job after graduation. With many emp
64、loyers looking for students with already-developed skill sets, on-the-job training while in college can be the best way to ensure a job later on.But its not all upside. Even full-time work may not completely cover the cost of tuition and living expenses. The study notes that if a student worked a fu
65、ll-time job at the minimum wage, they would earn just over $15,000 each year, certainly not enough to pay for tuition, room, and meals at many colleges without some serious financial aid. That means that though theyre sacrificing (牺牲) time away from the classroom, many working students will still gr
66、aduate with at least some debt. And working full time can reduce the chance that students will graduate at all, by cutting into the time available for studying and attending classes.There is little reward for attending but not finishing college. Students who end up leaving school because of difficul
67、ty in managing work and class are likely to find themselves stuck in some of the same jobs they might have gotten if they hadnt gone to college at all. The difficulty of working too much while in school can create a cycle that pushes students further into debt without receiving any of the financial
68、or career benefits.32. It can be learned from the passage that todays college students actually _.A. attend a number of partiesB. work while attending schoolC. stay up late all the timeD. care little about exams33. Which of the following factors indirectly causes more students to work?A. The chance
69、of finding a job after graduation.B. The shortage of holiday jobs for college students.C. The need of improving social skills.D. The high tuition and living expenses.34. According to the passage, we know that _.A. working students are more likely to graduate from collegeB. the pay from working can c
70、over students college costsC. working too much while in college may not benefit a students careerD. students can receive a reward for managing work and class well35. What is the best title for the passage?A. An Introduction of Working College StudentsB. The Advantages of Working While StudyingC. The
71、 Struggle to Balance Work and SchoolD. The Difficulties of Landing a Job【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. C【解析】【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章提到了自上世纪70年代就出现的一种现象,大学生会一边打工一边上学,以此减轻生活负担并积累工作经验,但与此同时也因为无法兼顾工作和学业,可能导致无法毕业。【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“In colleges around the country, most students are also workers.”可知,很多大学生在上学的同时还要参加工作。
72、故选B项。【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“And theres value in it beyond the direct cause: such jobs can also be vital for developing important professional and social skills that make it easier to land a job after graduation.”可知,通过参加工作可以积累经验发展技能,使得毕业后找工作更容易一些,这是“beyond the direct cause”即“超越直接原因”的非直接原因,A选项“毕业后找到工作的机会
73、”符合题意。故选A项。【34题详解】推理判断题。文章最后两段话锋一转,直言大学期间打工的弊端,牺牲了学习时间参加工作可能导致无法顺利毕业,继而引起更坏的结果。全文最后一句“The difficulty of working too much while in school can create a cycle that pushes students further into debt without receiving any of the financial or career benefits.”说明了其对事业的影响。C选项“在大学花太多时间工作对事业可能不利”符合文意。故选C项。【35
74、题详解】主旨大意题。梳理文章内容,引出大学生边打工边上学这种现象后,分别讨论了其优点和弊端,显然,既要工作补贴高额的学业费用,也要学习以顺利完成学业,如何平衡才是重中之重,C选项“平衡工作和学业的艰难斗争”符合主题。故选C项。【点睛】阅读理解中主旨大意题是重难点题型之一,其中标题判断是较为常见的一个类型,要求在阅读并理解表面文字的基础上做出判断和推论,从而得到文章的隐含意思和深层意思,也就是通过文章中的文字信息,上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等推断出作者索要表达的态度观点。为了能找出符合题意的一项,我们必须排除干扰项,一般干扰项包括以下几种类型:1.夸大事实型对于原文中的细节或论断的某方面程度进
75、行了夸大处理;2.无中生有型捏造原文并不存在的信息;3.推理过头型引申过度,使得结论过于绝对化;4.有失偏颇型侧重于原文一小部分信息,虽然真实但不够全面。第4小题中,A选项“打工大学生的一段介绍”显然不符合议论文的主题,B选项“边打工边上学的好处”属于有失偏颇,D选项“找工作的困难之处”则是纯粹的无中生有,这样通过排除也可以确定答案。第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The Science of Risk-SeekingSometimes we decide that a little unn
76、ecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. _36_ Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work?The reason why any of us take any risks al all might have
77、 to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. _37_ As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.So why arent we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,00
78、0 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. _38_No matter where you are on the ris
79、k-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. _39_ To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well._40_ For the ris
80、k-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, well continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool. A. It all depends on
81、your character.B. Those are the risks you should jump to take.C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.F. However, we
82、 are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.【答案】36. F 37. C 38. A 39.
