It houses a diverse collection of more than 2,300 examples of European art ranging from 13th-century religious paintings to more modern ones by Renoir and Van Gogh. The older
10、 collections of the gallery are reached through the main entrance while the more modern works in the East Wing are most easily reached from Trafalgar Square by a ground floor entrance.Layout:The modern Sainsbury Wing on the western side of the building houses 13th-to15th-century paintings, and artis
11、ts include Duccio, Uccello, Van Eyck, Lippi, Mantegna, Botticelli and Memling.The main West Wing houses 16th-century paintings, and artists include Leonardo da Vinci, Cranach, Michelangelo, Raphael, Bruegel, Bronzino, Titan and Veronese.The North Wing houses 17th-century paintings, and artists inclu

Which underground station is closest to the National Gallery?A. Charing Cross.B. Leicester Square.C. Embankment.D. Piccadilly
15、Circus.【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了英国国家美术馆的展品以及这个展馆的布置、开馆的时间等情况。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的ranging from 13thcentury religious paintings to.可知人们可以在这里看到13世纪的宗教图画。B、C、D三项中的图画都没有涉及religious这个词。故选A。【2题详解】细节理解题。由第三段中的The main West Wing houses 16thcentury paintings,and artists include Leonardo da Vinci
16、.可知,达芬奇的作品可以在the main West Wing中看到,因此选B。其他几个地方都没有展出达芬奇的画。故选B。【3题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的Nearest underground stations:Charing Cross(2minute walk).可知,Charing Cross离国家美术馆只有步行2分钟的路程,其他几个地方离国家美术馆的距离都比Charing Cross远。故选D。【点睛】细节理解题解题思路与应试技巧 细节题是针对文中某个细节、某句话或某部分具体内容设置问题,正确答案的根据一定可以在原文中找到,即原文的改写往往成为正确选项。通常细节题的正确选项有以
17、下特征:1、对原文句子中的关键词进行替换。把原文中的一些词换成意义相近的词,成为正确选项。2、词性或者语态的变化。把原文中的一些词变换一下词性,或者改变原文句子的语态,给考生制造障碍。3、语言简化。把原文中的复杂语言现象进行简化,成为正确答案。4、正话反说。把原文中的意思反过来表达而成为正确选项(适用于寻找错误选项的题目)。干扰项也是以文章中的某个细节设题,若不仔细辨别,很容易把它当成正确选项。干扰项有以下特征:1、将原文内容扩大或缩小。把原文中的限定词去掉或替换,使该选项看似正确,实际上却是错误选项。2、把未然当已然。改变文中某句话的时态,如把将来时变成现在时,把未发生的事情当成已发生的事情
18、。3、无中生有。即选项内容是根据主观想象或推测得出的结论,而文中并未涉及。4、偷换概念。把原来做该事的“张三”换成“李四”,所述细节确实与原文一致,一不小心就会误选。5、文不对题。这类题最不容易辨别,选项中的描述与原文完全一致,确属原文中的一个细节,这时要回到题干,看该选项是否能回答题干所提的问题。BThe baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert (警觉的). Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a
19、white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze(凝视) starts to lose its focusuntil a third, with three black spots, is presente
20、d. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows th
21、e same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it
22、be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly(随意地)on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excit
23、ed when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise(同样地) when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.4. The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the babys _.A. sense of hearingB. sense of sightC. sense of touchD. sense of smell5. Babies are
24、 sensitive to the change in _.A. the size of cardsB. the colour of picturesC. the shape of patternsD. the number of objects6. Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of the experiment.B. To see how babies recognize sounds.C. To carry their experiment furthe
25、r.D. To keep the babies interest.7. Where does this text probably come from?A. Science fiction.B. Childrens literature.C. An advertisement.D. A science report.【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. D【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。章对刚出生一天的婴儿做实验,通过变化纸上的黑点及鼓的敲打次数对婴儿的视觉、听觉进行的一个实验主要介绍了研究人员通过一些卡片黑点的数量来检验婴儿对于数量变化的敏感程度,发现当数量相对多的时候,比较容易引起婴
26、儿的注意,使他们变得更加兴奋。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段文中的She stares it carefully. Her gaze starts to lose its focus.可知,她仔细地盯着它,目光开始失去焦点。所以本段是对孩子的视觉实验,故第一段所描述的实验主要是关于视觉的。故选B项。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的As the cards change from one to the other,her gaze(凝视)starts to lose its focusuntil a third,with three black spots,is presented
27、.Her gaze returns.可知,随着卡片上黑点数量的变化,婴儿的注视也发生变化,表明了婴儿对于数量的变化比较敏感,故选D项。【6题详解】细节理解题。第二段中研究人员先是通过卡片上的黑点来测验婴儿对于数量的变化的敏感程度;根据第二段中的The effect even crosses between senses.three drumbeats than when they heard just two;likewise(同样地)when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.可知,研究人员又做了击鼓的实验,这
28、样做的目的是更加深入地研究婴儿对于数量变化的敏感程度,故选C【7题详解】推理判断题。本文提到了experiment和researchers等,可知是一些研究人员做了一个实验,来检验婴儿们对于数量的变化是不是敏感,所以本文属于一个科学研究报告。故选D CRace walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.Race walkers
29、are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sports rules require that a race walkers knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触)
30、with the ground at all times. Its this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most c
31、alculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.However, race walking does not p
32、ound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.As a result, she says, some
33、of the injuries associated with running, such as runners knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sports strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try
34、 race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.8. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?A. They must run long distances.B. They are qualified for the marathon.C. They have to follow special rules.D. They are go

Its less likely to cause knee injuries.10. What is Dr. Norbergs suggestion for someone trying race walking?
36、A. Getting experts opinions.B. Having a medical checkup.C. Hiring an experienced coach.D. Doing regular exercises11. Which word best describes the authors attitude to race walking?A. Skeptical.B. Objective.C. Tolerant.D. Conservative.【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了竞走相比跑步有诸多的优势,但是之前受过伤
37、的人,要想从事这样运动要谨慎,最好咨询专家的建议。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“But the sports rules require that a race walkers knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times.”可知,但这项运动的规则要求竞走者的膝盖在摆动腿的大部分时间保持伸直,一只脚始终与地面接触。由此可知,竞走运动员是需要具备某些条件的运动员是因为运动员需要遵守特殊的规则。故选C项。【9题详解】细节
38、理解题。根据最后一段“As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runners knee, are uncommon among race walkers.”可知,一些与跑步有关的损伤,比如跑步者的膝盖,在竞走者中并不常见。由此可知,竞走与跑步相比的优势是不太可能导致膝盖受伤。故选D项。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段Dr. Norberg说的话“In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first
39、consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique(事实上,任何想尝试竞走的人都应该首先咨询教练或有经验的竞走运动员,学习适当的技巧。)”可知,Dr. Norberg建议想尝试竞走的人征询专家的建议。故选A项。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however,
40、 have its own problem.”可知,研究表明,竞走和跑步一样有很多健身益处,而且它还很少导致受伤。不过,它也有自己的问题。由此判断出作者对于竞走的态度是客观的。故选B项。DThe connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research.

50、tudy conducted in Youngstown, Ohio, for example ,discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another, employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.可知例如,在俄亥俄州扬斯敦进行的一项研究发现,城市绿化较好的地区犯罪率较低。在另一项研究中,当员工的工作场所被室内植物装饰时,他们的工作效率会提
51、高15%。由此可知,第一段的主旨是关于绿色植物的益处。故选D。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中These include plants that have sensors printed on their leaves to show when theyre short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater.可知这就包括叶子上印有传感器来显示植物缺水的情况的植物,还有一种植物可以检测到地下水中的有害化学物质。由此可知,麻省理工学院工程师植物叶片上印上传感器的作用是检测植物缺水的情况。故选
52、A。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.可知发光的植物可以缩短这段距离,从而帮助节约能源。由此可知,这种发光的植物在未来可能有助于减少能源消耗。故选C。【15题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段中Lighting accounts for about 7%of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power sou
53、rce-such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway-a lot of energy is lost during transmission. Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.可知照明约占美国总耗电量的7%。由于照明通常远离电源,例如从发电厂到偏僻公路上路灯的距离,在传输过程中会损失大量能源。发光的植物可以缩短这段距离,从而帮助节约能源。结合文章主要说明了绿色植物对人们很有好处
54、,因此麻省理工学院的工程师开发了一种发光植物,文章介绍了他们发明这种植物的过程,以及这种植物的一些优势,指出在未来发光植物有可能取代路灯,达到节约能源的作用。由此可知,C选项“发光的植物能取代路灯吗?”最符合文章标题。故选C。 III. 七选五: (共5小题,每题2.5分,满分12.5分)The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where weve never been before.
