40、各地多家航空公司推出一种旅游航空套餐 “我哪儿也不去”受到人们的追捧以及产生的环境问题。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“Imagine arriving at the airportpassing through securityfinally boarding your flight and taking offonly to land a few hours laterright back where you started（想象一下，你来到机场，通过安检，登机起飞，几个小时后终于落地你又回到了你的出发地。）可知，这种新型航空旅行的特点在于是直接往返的。故选C。【9题详解】推理判断题。
41、根据第二段“Ticketswhich cost between 560 dollars and just over 2,700 dollarswere sold out in 10 minutes, according to the airline. (据航空公司称，票价在560美元到2700美元之间的机票在10分钟内就售完了。)”可知，因为机票很快售完了，由此判断，澳洲航空7小时的观光飞行很受欢迎。故选B。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Too many of us are unaware of flyings contribution to the climate crisis.
42、And the passengers on Qantas flights to nowhere will increase their annual carbon release as they fly over the Great Barrier Reef because warming is causing repeated mass bleaching（白化）events before the Reef has time to recover.（我们中太多的人没有意识到飞行对气候危机的影响。澳洲航空“飞往任何地方的航班”上的乘客，在飞越大堡礁时，每年的碳排放量将会增加，因为气候变暖正在导

55、ces. What about the freeloaders? They just sit around while their hard-working colleagues get things done.(火蚁只需要一小部分蚂蚁来完成大部分工作，就能有效地挖掘隧道，从而避免在狭小的空间里发生拥挤。那些不作为的蚂蚁怎么办？他们只是等着他们努力工作的同事把事情做完)”以及第四段中“And when the scientists removed the five hardest-working ants from the site, others immediately jumped in
56、to take up their positions-with no reduction in the groups productivity. (当科学家们把5只工作最努力的蚂蚁移走后，其他的蚂蚁立即跳到它们的位置上，而这并没有降低这组蚂蚁的工作效率)”可知，只需要几只蚂蚁来挖，是为了提高他们的工作效率。故选C。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“So, Goldman, a physicist at Georgia Tech, and his colleagues wanted to know how individual ants knew what to do without a
57、central leader issuing orders. To find out, Goldmans team labeled individual fire ants with paint and then watched them dig their narrow tunnelsbarely wide enough for two workers.(因此，佐治亚理工学院的物理学家Goldman和他的同事们想要知道，在没有中央领导蚂蚁发出命令的情况下，单个蚂蚁是如何知道该做什么的。为了找到答案，Goldman的团队给每只火蚁涂上油漆，然后观察它们挖掘狭窄的隧道宽度仅够两个蚂蚁使用)”可知
58、，Goldman是通过直接观察进行这项研究的。故选A。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“And when the scientists removed the five hardest-working ants from the site, others immediately jumped in to take up their positions-with no reduction in the groups productivity. It seems that it doesnt matter which ants are working or freeloading at a

60、断题。根据最后一段“The study could have implications for robotics. Imagine groups of robots sent to search the ruins for disaster survivors or nanobots coursing through our bodies to detect illness and deliver targeted medical treatment. Such robot groups will need to avoid getting jammed up in tight spaces.
61、(这项研究可能会对机器人技术产生影响。想象一下，成群的机器人被派往废墟中寻找灾难幸存者，或者纳米机器人在我们体内穿行，检测疾病并提供有针对性的医疗。这样的机器人群需要避免被挤在狭小的空间里)”可推知，一些机器人应该被设计成什么也不做。故选D。第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The latest thing in architecture is green buildingscovering walls and roofs with a carpet of plants to prevent h

Many such buildings n
68、eed complex systems for holding and irrigating the soil.(最新的建筑是绿色建筑用植物覆盖墙壁和屋顶以防止热量、吸收雨水并为野生动物提供家园。许多这样的建筑需要复杂的系统来保持和灌溉土壤)”结合后文主要介绍了常春藤的种植事项，可知，本句与上文构成转折，提出可以种常春藤的办法。故G选项“然而，有一个更简单的方法：种一些常春藤”符合语境，故选G。【17题详解】根据后文“It grows well in both dry and damp soil.(它在干燥和潮湿的土壤里都长得很好)”可知，常春藤可以适应各种土壤，D选项中soil与后文中soi
69、l相对应。故D选项“此外，它能忍受各种土壤”符合语境，故选D。【18题详解】根据上文“For these reasons, ivy can be widely grown to beautify an ugly wall or a fence.(由于这些原因，常青藤可以广泛种植来美化一堵丑陋的墙或篱笆)”以及后文“It is a heaven for bees and butterflies in summer and its berries are a valuable food source for birds in winter.(夏天它是蜜蜂和蝴蝶的天堂，冬天它的浆果是鸟类宝贵的食物来
70、源)”可知，上文总结了常春藤本身的优点，后文则提到了它对其他动物的好处，可知本句旨在说明常春藤还可以带来额外的好处。故A选项“种植常青藤可以带来额外的好处”符合语境，故选A。【19题详解】根据上文“However, there are some concerns about growing ivy. Ivy has a reputation for damaging buildings, but according to the UKs Royal Horticultural Society, this doesnt usually happen unless the walls alread
71、y have cracks.(然而，长常春藤也有一些问题。常青藤素有破坏建筑的名声，但根据英国皇家园艺学会的说法，这种情况通常不会发生，除非墙壁已经出现裂缝)”以及后文“But Blanusa at the University of Reading, UK, who has examined the effects of plant climbers, finds that ivy raises humidity next to the wall by only a small amount.(但是英国雷丁大学的Blanusa在研究了植物攀缘植物的影响后发现，常春藤只增加了墙边湿度的一小部分
72、)”可知，本段主要是关于种植常春藤可能导致的问题，且后文提到了常春藤会增加墙边湿度，可知本句是在说明常春藤会使墙壁潮湿的问题，C选项中fear对应上文中concerns，damp对应后文humidity。故C选项“另一个担心是它会使墙壁潮湿”符合语境，故选C。【20题详解】根据后文“Once ivy has been in the ground for a few years, it can grow out of control. Just dont let it get the better of you.(一旦常春藤在地下生长了几年，它就会不受控制地生长。别让这事影响了你)”可知，后文提
73、到常春藤会不受控制地生长，可推知本句是在说明种植常春藤要慎重小心。故E选项“不管怎样，你在种常春藤时确实需要小心”符合语境，故选E。第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。You can handle it, Matt. said Mr. Wolf, my fourth-grade band teacher, as he put the heavy tuba into my arms.
