For some reason, Cinco de Mayo is celebrated more in the United States of America, by Mexicans and Americans alike, than it is i

82、要介绍了洛杉矶的度假套餐。21答案与解析:A考查细节理解。根据A Disney in Los Angeles部分中的“If you would prefer to look for excitement on exciting rides like Space Mountain, you are sure to find something new and exciting at Disneyland.”可知,当你想玩刺激的游乐设施时,你应该去迪士尼乐园。故选A。22答案与解析:D考查细节理解。由Experience of the Hollywood Stars部分中的“have a fant
83、astic time. in shopping”可知,你在这个套餐中可以享受到购物的乐趣。故选D。23答案与解析:C考查推理判断。根据文章标题Vacation Packages in Los Angeles以及全文内容可知,这篇文章主要介绍了洛杉矶的度假套餐,所以你最有可能在报纸的旅游版块读到这篇文章。故选C。B【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者通过一次去印度的经历,发现人们缺乏清洁的水,就此得到启发,回国后与导师Jim Jonza合作,开发了一个利用太阳能的净水系统。24答案与解析:B推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知,每年有数百万人死于与水有关的疾病,其中大多数是发展中国家的儿童。因
84、此,作者提到自己去印度的经历是为了说明人们缺乏清洁的水的问题,故选B项。25答案与解析:D词义猜测题。根据画线句前一句“My invention is green and costeffective”可知,作者的发明很环保且节约成本,因此作者期待将它应用到受有害的水污染的地区。故画线词implementing是“应用”的意思,故选D项。26答案与解析:C细节理解题。根据第三段可知,Forester宣布获奖人时所有观众都屏住呼吸,你甚至可以听到大头针落地的声音。因此,观众都非常安静地坐着,故选C项。27答案与解析:A推理判断题。根据全文可知,作者主要按时间顺序回顾了自己在发现教育3M青年科学家挑
85、战赛中夺冠的经历,故选A项。C【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了墨西哥的Cinco de Mayo (五月五日节)的由来,它和墨西哥独立日的区别,以及如何庆祝这个节日等相关信息。28答案与解析:D考查细节理解。结合第一段中的“The French army reached Puebla, where the Mexicans won a huge victory.”可知,庆祝这个节日是因为墨西哥人打败了强大的法国军队,因此选D。29答案与解析:A考查细节理解。从第二段中的“it was celebrated in all of Mexico and by Mexicans livin
86、g in former Mexican areas such as Texas and California. It was ignored in Mexico after a while but still celebrated in the north of the border”可知,更多美国人庆祝这个节日是因为一些美国的地方原先是属于墨西哥的,那儿的墨西哥人都庆祝这个节日,因此选A。30答案与解析:B考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“schoolchildren decorate their classrooms and try their hand at cooking some ba
87、sic Mexican food”可知,小学生们试着做一些基本的墨西哥食物来庆祝这个节日。31答案与解析:B考查细节理解。从最后一段中的“Its a fun holiday, really more about celebrating the Mexican way of life than about remembering the battle”可知,庆祝这个节日更多的是庆祝墨西哥的生活方式,即墨西哥独特的风俗,因此选B。D【语篇解读】本文是一篇调查报告。调查表明,加利福尼亚州的大树变少了,而气候变化是其中的一个主要因素。32答案与解析:A主旨大意题。第二段中通过列举一系列数字表明,加利福
88、尼亚州的大树减少的严重性,故A项正确。33答案与解析:D推理判断题。文章第三段提到了造成加利福尼亚州的大树减少的三个因素:woodcutters, housing development与aggressive wildfire control。前两个因素直接与大树的减少有关,如果能控制住,大树的数量就不会减少;而第三个因素控制野火的措施使得加利福尼亚州的森林里满是跟大树争夺资源的小树,初衷是为了控制野火,这是好的,实则对大树不利,故D项正确(好心办坏事)。34答案与解析:C细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“. the biggest factors driving up water stres
89、s in the state have been rising temperatures.”可知,水不足的主要原因就是气温升高(rising temperatures),即更加温暖的气候,故C项正确。35答案与解析:A标题归纳题。本文是一篇调查报告,第一段就点出主题:“California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s”。后面具体分析了加利福尼亚州大树的现状、造成大树减少的原因等,A项作为标题最合适。第二节【语篇解读】本文介绍了如何促进学习的几种策略。36答案与解析:A本空为文章标题,根据本文首段“If you have an exam

91、可以通过给别人讲解来巩固自己的知识,故选E项。39答案与解析:D本段讲用奖励法来激励自己学习。由下文的例子得知,可以把一个零食分成几份,作为完成每一个小任务的奖励。40答案与解析:C由“Going through a whole book in one sitting is likely to bore you and will not help much.”以及下文可知,要把学习任务分成几部分。故选C项。第三部分第一节【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。在美国伊利诺伊州的North Riverside有一个Neighborhood Services委员会,这个委员会有90个街区队长,每个街区队长对
92、一个街区进行管理。该委员会一年有3次分享大会,人们在大会上分享自己所做的好事。41答案与解析:A根据下文中的“across the street”“Spale runs the local Neighborhood Services committee”等信息可知,Carol Spale在很晚的时候接到她的一个邻居(neighbor)打来的电话。42答案与解析:B因为Carol Spale在管理这个委员会,因此她“习惯”接到这样的电话。be used to doing sth.“习惯于做某事”; be reduced to doing sth.“沦落到做某事”; be devoted to d
