If such territorial agreements become more common, the globally-connected Internet we know will more like what some have called the “splinternet”, or a collection of different Internets whose limits
17、are determined by national or regional borders.(欧洲正在实施一项浮动法规，可能对违反欧洲法律的美国科技公司实施临时禁令。 如果这样的领土协议变得更加普遍，我们所知道的全球互联互联网将更像一些人所说的“分裂互联网”，或不同互联网的集合，其界限由国家或地区边界决定)”可知，社交媒体平台Facebook暂时决定阻止澳大利亚用户分享新的链接，Splinternet与之相关。故选A。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据Mansplaining部分中“You must follow my instructions to complete the project. D
18、ont you ever screw up. Stop mansplaining, OK? Im far more experienced than you.(你必须按照我的指示完成这个项目。 千万别搞砸了。停止好为人师好吗？我比你经验丰富多了)”可知，孟子说过“人之患在好为人师”与C选项“Mansplaining”意思是一样的。故选C。【3题详解】推理判断题。根据文章标题“Buzzwords (流行词汇)”以及文章主要介绍了一些如今流行的流行词汇的含义，可推知，文章可能来自青少年空间杂志的“前景”专栏。故选B。BThe vaccine (疫苗) news continues to seem
19、very encouraging. Britain started its mass vaccination effort and the U.S. isnt far behind.But there is still one dark cloud hanging over the vaccines that many people dont yet understand.The vaccines will be much less effective at preventing death and illness in 2021 if they are introduced into a p

21、n occurs.At the current level of infection in the U.S. (about 200,000 confirmed new infections per day), a vaccine that is 95 percent effectivedistributed at the expected pacewould still leave a terrible toll (伤亡人数) in the six months after it was introduced. Almost 10 million or so Americans would c

In that case, the death toll in the nex
23、t six months would be kept to about 60,000.Its worth pausing for a moment on this comparison. If the U.S. had maintained its infection rate from September and Moderna and Pfizer had announced this fall that their vaccines were only 50 percent effective, a lot of people would have panicked.But the re
24、ality we have is actually worse.How could this be? No vaccine can get rid of a pandemic immediately, just as .no fire hose can put out a forest fire. While the vaccine is being distributed, the virus continues to do damage.There is one positive way to look at this: Measures that reduce the viruss sp

28、c.B. The public are optimistic about the effects of the vaccine.C. The public are concerned about the high infection rate.D. The distribution of vaccine will end the pandemic quickly.【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，讲述了在疫情下，疫苗并不能有效地阻止新冠传播，最有效的方法还是戴上口罩，保持适当的距离。【4题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第四段“A vaccine is
29、like a fire hose . A vaccine thats 95 percent effective, as Modernas and Pfizers versions appear to be, is a powerful fire hose. But the size of a fire is still a bigger determinant of how much destruction occurs.(疫苗就像消防水带。就像Moderna和Pfizer的版本一样，这种具有95效力的疫苗是一种强大的消防水带。但是，火的大小仍是更大程度地决定发生多少破坏的决定因素)”可知，作
30、者将新冠疫苗比作消防水带，引出疫情的影响并不是由疫苗所控制的。故选C。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“There is one positive way to look at this: Measures that reduce the viruss spreadlike mask-wearing, social distancing and rapid-result testingcan still have great consequences. They can save more than 100,000 lives in coming months.(有一个积极的方法可以解
31、决这一问题：减少病毒传播的措施（例如戴口罩，远离社会和进行快速结果检测）会产生重大后果。在未来几个月中，他们可以挽救100,000多条生命)”可知，作者认为戴口罩，保持社交距离是最有效预防新冠的措施。故选D。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第六段“This is far worse than the toll in a different situation where the vaccine was only 50 percent effective but the U.S. had reduced the infection rate to its level in early Septe
32、mber (about 35,000 new daily cases). In that case, the death toll in the next six months would be kept to about 60,000.(这远比在另一种情况下造成的损失要糟糕得多，在这种情况下，疫苗的有效率仅为50，但美国已将感染率降低到9月初的水平（每天约有35,000例新病例）。在这种情况下，未来六个月的死亡人数将保持在60,000人左右)”可知，美国的感染率下降到9月初的水平，死亡人数也相应减少。由此推知，感染率降低死亡人数也会减少。故选D。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The
33、 vaccine news continues to seem very encouraging. Britain started its mass vaccination effort and the U.S. isnt far behind. (疫苗新闻似乎仍然令人鼓舞。英国开始大规模疫苗接种工作，而美国也紧随其后)”可知，人们非常乐于接种新冠疫苗。再结合倒数第四段“If the U.S. had maintained its infection rate from September and Moderna and Pfizer had announced this fall that
34、their vaccines were only 50 percent effective, a lot of people would have panicked. 如果美国从9月开始保持感染率，并且如果Moderna和Pfizer今年秋天宣布其疫苗的有效率仅为50，那么很多人就会感到恐慌)”可知，如果宣布疫苗有效率仅为50%的话，人们就会感到恐慌。由此推断出，大众乐于接受疫苗，是因为大众认为疫苗有效率高可以防御新冠，所以公众对疫苗的效果持乐观态度。故选B。CEvery year more people recognize that it is wrong to kill wildlife
35、for “sport”. Progress in this direction is slow because shooting is not a sport for watching, and only those few who take par realize the cruelty and destruction.The number of gunners, however, grows rapidly. Children too young to develop proper judgments through independent thought are led a long w
36、ay away by their gunning parents. They are subjected to advertisements of gun producers who describe shooting as good for their health and gun-carrying as a way of putting redder blood in the veins（血管）. They are persuaded by gunner magazines with stories honoring the chase and the kill. In school th

38、opulation, but can we slow the loss of wildlife caused by shooting? There doesnt seem to be any chance if the serious condition of our birds is not improved. Wildlife belongs to everyone and not to the gunners alone. Although most people do not shoot, they seem to forgive shooting for sport because
39、they know little or nothing about it. The only answer, then, is to bring the truth about sport shooting to the great majority of people.Now, it is time to realize that animals have the same right to life as we do and that there is nothing fair or right about a person with a gun shooting the harmless
40、 and beautiful creatures. The gunners like to describe what they do as character-building, but we know that to wound an animal and watch it go through the agony of mortality can make nobody happy. If, as they would have you believe, gun-carrying and killing improve human character, then perhaps we s
41、hould encourage war.8. According to the text, most people do not seem to be against hunting because .A. they have little knowledge of it.B. it helps to build human character.C. it is too costly to stop killing wildlife.D. they want to keep wildlife under control.9. The underlined word “agony” in the
42、 last paragraph probably means .A. difficulty.B. tress.C. pain.D. sadness.10. According to the text, the films children watch at school actually .A. teach them how to deal with guns safely.B. praise hunting as character building.C. describe hunting as a physical exercise.D. encourage them to have gu

44、icult.【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. A【解析】【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章讲述了，虽然人们认为打猎是错误的，但是持枪的人却在迅速增加；猎杀动物使得野生动物变得越来越少了，事实上动物和我们一样拥有在这个地球居住的权利。【8题详解】细节理解题。由第三段中的“Although most people do not shoot, they seem to forgive shooting for sport because they know little or nothing about it.”（虽然大多数人不开枪，但他们似乎原谅为体育而射击，因为他们对这件事知之甚少或一无
45、所知。），可知大多数人原谅为体育而开枪（即把打猎看成运动），所以似乎并不反对狩猎，是因为他们对这件事几乎一无所知。故选A项。【9题详解】词义猜测题。由最后一段中的“The gunners like to describe what they do as character-building, but we know that to wound an animal and watch it go through the agony of mortality can make nobody happy.”（枪手们喜欢描述他们的性格塑造，但我们知道，伤害动物，看着它经历死亡的agony，不会让任何人
46、感到高兴。），结合“to wound an animal”和“watch it go through the agony of mortality”可知，伤害动物，动物要死亡，被伤害的将死的动物肯定很痛苦，agony在此处意为“pain（痛苦）”。故选C项。【10题详解】细节理解题。由第二段中的“In school they view motion pictures which are supposedly meant to teach them how to deal with arms safely but which are actually designed to stimulate（
47、刺激）a desire to own a gun.”（在学校里，他们看的是电影，这些电影据说是为了教他们如何安全地处理武器，但实际上是为了激发他们拥有自己枪支的欲望。），可知孩子们在学校看的电影其实是激发他们拥有自己枪支的欲望，即鼓励他们拥有自己的枪。故选D项。【11题详解】句意猜测题。由最后一段“Now, it is time to realize that animals have the same right to life as we do and that there is nothing fair or right about a person with a gun shootin
48、g the harmless and beautiful creatures. The gunners like to describe what they do as character-building, but we know that to wound an animal and watch it go through the agony of mortality can make nobody happy. If, as they would have you believe, gun-carrying and killing improve human character, the
49、n perhaps we should encourage war.”（现在，是时候意识到动物和我们一样有生命权，拿枪射击无害美丽的生物，没有什么公平或正确的。枪手们喜欢描述他们的性格塑造，但我们知道，伤害动物，看着它经历死亡的痛苦，不会让任何人感到高兴。如果，正如你所相信的那样，携带枪支和杀人可以提高人类的性格，那么也许我们应该鼓励战争。），可知作者认为打猎是不公平或正确的，枪手们认为打猎能塑造人们的性格，但本质上看着动物痛苦地死去，没人会开心，所以作者并不认为打猎能塑造人们的性格，作者说的“也许我们应该鼓励战争”也是反话，就像没人会鼓励战争一样，作者认为打猎对性格塑造也是毫无意义的。故选A
50、项。DLast summer my daughters school was blown up. No students were harmed, but the main building was completely destroyed, as well as the nearby dorms.Before you start trying to ask when this horrible act took place on U.

59、案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者女儿学校发生爆炸后，她感觉受到很大的伤害。事故后，作者的女儿明白要学会保护自己不受坏人的伤害。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后两句“But the emotional pain she felt was very much real. She thought this was a form of terrorism.（但是她所感受到的情感上的痛苦是非常真实的。她认为这是恐怖主义的一种形式。）”可知，作者的女儿感觉受到很大的伤害。故选D。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段“I had
60、 thought this was a unique experience, and my daughter was just unlucky that this happened to her.（我曾以为这是一次独特的经历，我的女儿只是不走运，这件事发生在她身上）”可知，在和其他父母谈论以前作者认为这是一次罕见的事故。故选B。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中The acts were performed by computer bullies(暴徒) known as “griefers”. While she once only played in creative mode(模式)
61、, she began to play in the multi-player mode so that she and a few friends from school could build and create together. That multi-player choice made it possible for a stranger, one of these “griefers”, to do damage.（这些行为是由被称为“griefers”的电脑恶霸执行的。虽然她曾经只玩创意模式，但她开始玩多人模式，以便她和学校的几个朋友一起创建和创造。这种多人游戏选择让陌生人，也
62、就是这些“捣乱者”之一，能够造成伤害）”可知，它们由计算机恶霸执行；它们很可能在多玩家模式下造成损害；它们扰乱并给游戏玩家带来悲伤。由此可知，“它们并不能帮助建立和创造一个新的世界。”这个表述是不正确的。故选A。【15题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“She understood we have to protect ourselves from bad people in the real world.（她明白我们必须保护自己不受现实世界里坏人的伤害。）”可知，事故后，作者的女儿明白学会了保护自己不受坏人伤害。故选C。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

70、itive（认知的）tasks like making decisions better when the temperature is cooler.”告诉我们当温度较低的时候，人们在完成认知任务的时候，表现会更好。由此可见低温可以帮助我们更加清晰地思考问题。故选择D项。【17题详解】横线前句“Our bodies use a considerable amount of energy to keep us warm and to dampen the air we breathe when were out in the cold”告诉当天气寒冷的时候，我们的身体需要耗费更多的能量来保暖。
71、所以我们自己要做好保暖措施，选项中只有B项“系紧你的靴子”是我们可以采取的保暖措施。本题也可以用排除法来解题，其余6句内容与此内容无关。故选B项。【18题详解】本段的主题是“Activates healthy fat”激活健康脂肪。横线前一句“But adults also have small amounts of beneficial brown fat that can quicken their metabolism（新陈代谢）and bum more calories”告诉我们人体内有一些可以加快新陈代谢的脂肪同时燃烧更多的卡路里。较低的温度恰好可以激活这样的脂肪，故E项正确。【19
72、题详解】横线前一句“Your bodys core temperature drops when youre trying to sleep.”告诉我们当人们睡觉的时候，体温会下降。横线句对本句进行解释，G项“夏天这一过程需要两个小时”中的夏天与横线后句“but its much faster in winter”中的冬天形成呼应。故G项正确。【20题详解】根据本段第二句“However，studies have shown that the immune system can be activated by colder temperatures，which improves our abi
