26、has been solved in a study that began with a bad photograph. Dr. Karen Osborn said that she couldnt get a good shot just shapes. Her detailed study of the animals “super-black” skin revealed that it traps light. While it makes them difficult to photograph, scientists say it provides the best way of
27、hiding. There is, Dr. Osborn explained, nowhere to hide from enemies in the deep ocean, so this “super-blackness” makes creatures almost invisible. The discovery could result in new super-black materials, such as coatings(涂层) for the insides of telescopes or cameras. Several species appear to have d
28、eveloped the same trick. Parts of their skin push away any light they dont absorb, Dr. Osborn said. It was her unsuccessful efforts to take good photographs of the creatures that inspired her to take a closer look. “Every picture I took was really bad,” she said, “Then I noticed they had really stra
29、nge skin theyre so black, and they suck up all the light.” This is the best way of hiding in the deep sea. Living in the deep sea is like playing hide-and-seek. Being so black really helps these creatures to survive. Her efforts to capture beautifully clear images of these species, all of which live
30、 at ocean depths of more than 200 meters, eventually paid off. “It took a lot of special lighting,” she admitted.第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。AGrand Canyon Park Ranger ProgramsGuided Cedar Ridge Hike 7 am Daily(Meet at the South Kaibab Trailhead) A 3-m

53、害的，建筑学中有许多知识与建筑的实际问题相分离。)和最后一段第一句“Architecture is futurism.”(建筑是未来主义的。)可知，文章主要是讲建筑不仅提供庇护所，还是一门博大精深的、发展的创意和艺术专业，所以建筑非常重要。故选A。CThe idea of billions of people going through a few masks a week during this pandemic definitely rings alarm bells, but a team of researchers in Melbourne may have the solution
54、.Theyve discovered that adding millions of discarded face masks to road-paving (铺路) mixtures would actually lower the cost of the road, while preventing billions of them from landfills. Just one kilometer of road would need three million masks, and the polypropylene (聚丙烯) plastic used to make single
55、-use surgical face masks also increased the flexibility and durability of the road.The new material is a mixture of about 2% torn masks, with recycled concrete aggregate (RCA)a material obtained from waste concrete and other minerals from destroyed buildings. This recycled material was found in the
56、study to be ideal for two of the four layers generally required to create roadways. Paving a kilometer of two-way road with the RCA and three million face masks would result in a change of 93 tons of waste from landfills.The final product then is more resistant to wear than asphalt (沥青), as well as
57、being cheaper too, provided there was a method for collecting masks. The research team did a cost-analysis and found that, at $26 per ton, the RCA was about half the cost of mining raw materials, and as much as a third of the cost of shipping the used masks to a landfill.The widespread application w
58、ould be ideal for large infrastructure (基础设施) projects. For example, Washington has the 11th worst roads in terms of unaddressed repairs in the U.S. If the damaged roads in Washington state were repaired with the RCA/mask mixture, it would reuse nearly 10 billion masks, sparing American landfills hu
59、ndreds of millions of tons of trash.Its said that the team is looking for private industry partners or governments willing to give their plastic mask road an opportunity for a large-scale test.28.

63、过该解决方案是否可行还有待测试。【28题详解】词义猜测题。根据划线词所在的句子“Theyve discovered that adding millions of face masks to road-paving (铺路) mixtures would actually lower the cost of the road, while preventing billions of them from landfills.”可知，他们发现，将数百万个口罩添加到铺路混合料中，实际上可以降低道路成本，同时防止数十亿个口罩被填埋。根据第一段的“The idea of billions of peo
64、ple going through a few masks a week during this pandemic definitely rings alarm bells, but a team of researchers in Melbourne may have the solution.”可知，疫情大流行期间每周有数十亿人戴着口罩的想法肯定会敲响警钟，但墨尔本的一组研究人员可能有解决方案。将上下文结合起来可知，解决方案是将人们用过的废弃口罩添加到铺路的混合材料中去。由此可知，划线单词意为“被遗弃的”。故选D。【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段的“Just one kilometer
65、 of road would need three million masks, and the polypropylene (聚丙烯) plastic used to make single-use surgical face masks also increased the flexibility and durability of the road. ”可知，仅一公里的道路就需要300万个口罩，而用于制造一次性手术口罩的聚丙烯塑料也提高了道路的柔韧性和耐用性。再根据第三段的“The new material is a mixture of about 2% torn masks, wit
66、h recycled concrete aggregate (RCA)a material obtained from waste concrete and other minerals from destroyed buildings.”可知，这种新材料是约2破损口罩与再生混凝土骨料（RCA）的混合物，后者是从废弃混凝土和被毁建筑物中的其他矿物中获得的。由此可知，铺路用的新材料是一次性使用口罩和再生混凝土骨料组成的。故选C。【30题详解】推理判断题。根据第五段的“For example, Washington has the 11th worst roads in terms of unad
67、dressed repairs in the U.S. If the damaged roads in Washington state were repaired with the RCA/mask mixture, it would reuse nearly 10 billion masks, sparing American landfills hundreds of millions of tons of trash.”可知，例如，就美国未解决的维修而言，华盛顿的道路是美国第11糟糕的。如果使用再生混凝土骨料（RCA）和口罩的混合物来修复华盛顿州受损的道路，它将重复使用近100亿个口罩
68、，从而使美国的垃圾掩埋场减少数亿吨的垃圾填埋。由此可知，第5段中提到的数字是为证明这种材料在铺路时具有成本效益。故选B。【31题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Its said that the team is looking for private industry partners or governments willing to give their plastic mask road an opportunity for a large-scale test.”可知，据说，该团队正在寻找愿意为其塑料口罩道路提供大规模测试机会的私营行业合作伙伴或政府。由此可知，该解决方案是否可行还有

78、本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者通过自己的亲身经历来体现文章的主题 “简单生活使生活更美好”( live a bigger, better, richer life with less)。【32题详解】推理判断题。根据前文作者住所很小(a small studio)，可推断使用折叠床是为了节省空间。使用extendable dining room table（可展开的餐桌）也是如此，故选B。【33题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第三段Who had I become? My house and my things were my new employers for a job I had never
79、 applied for. I started to wonder why my theoretically upgraded life didnt feel any better and why I felt more anxious than before. 我变成了谁?我的房子和我的东西成了我从未申请过的工作的新雇主。我开始想，为什么理论上的升级生活并没有让我感觉更好，为什么我比以前更焦虑。由此可以推断这些东西已经成为作者的负担，故选C。【34题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段My latest project is to design thoughtfully constructed s
80、mall homes that support our lives, not the other way around. The house 1 design contains less stuff and makes it easier for owners to live within their means and to limit their environmental footprint.

89、important role in shaping the earth.【答案】36. C 37. E 38. A 39. G 40. D【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章对火山的形成、喷发强度的决定因素、火山的危害和好处等进行了介绍。【36题详解】根据前文“Take a bottle of soda, and shake it really hard. Gas will form inside, causing a buildup of pressure. Twist the cap off. Pressure will be released from the bottle, and s
90、oda will shoot everywhere.”(拿瓶苏打水，用力摇晃。气体会在里面形成，造成压力的积聚。把盖子拧下来。压力会从瓶子里释放出来，苏打水会喷得到处都是。)可知，选项A中的the same way就是指指苏打水从瓶子里喷出来的方式，根据后文“Pressure builds up inside a volcano as gas forms in magma (岩浆), which is hot liquid rock beneath the surface of the earth. Gas bubbles in the volcano need to escape. When
91、 a volcano erupts, magma is pushed up through the opening with great force.”(当气体在岩浆中形成时，压力在火山内部积聚(岩浆), 它是地球表面下的热液体岩石。火山中的气泡需要逸出。当火山喷发时，岩浆会被巨大的力量推上火山口。)可知，火山爆发的方式和前文中提到的相同。所以选项C“火山爆发的作用方式大致相同。”切合文意。故选C。【37题详解】根据前文“The intensity of an eruption depends on a few factors. One is the magmas temperature. A
92、nother is the magmas thickness.”(喷发的强度取决于几个因素。一是岩浆的温度。另一个是岩浆的厚度。)可知，此处是讲决定喷发的强度的几个因素，并且前文中已经出现两个，所以选项E“被困在里面的气体量也是一个重要因素。”是讲第三个因素，切合文意。故选E。【38题详解】根据后文“The Hawaiian Islands were created by the eruptions of large low-lying volcanoes which are made up of layers of hardened lava.”(夏威夷群岛是由大型低洼火山喷发形成的，这些火
93、山是由坚硬的熔岩层组成的。)可知，此处是讲火山喷发也会创造新的土地，对应选项A中的“they can also create new land”(它们还可以创造新的土地)，又和前文“Volcanoes can be destructive.”(火山具有破坏性。)构成转折关系，对应选项A中的转折词however。所以选项A切合文意。故选A。【39题详解】根据后文“Ash from volcanoes adds helpful minerals to soil. This helps plants grow strong. Healthy plants produce oxygen for hum
94、ans and animals to breathe. Volcanoes also remove heat from the earths interior (内部), which helps keep our planet cool.”(火山灰为土壤添加了有益的矿物质。这有助于植物茁壮成长。健康的植物产生氧气供人和动物呼吸。火山也会带走地球内部的热量, 有助于保持地球凉爽。)可知，此处是讲火山对地球起到了重要作用，所以选项G“火山在塑造地球方面起了重要作用。”切合文意。故选G。【40题详解】根据后文“Their measures involve using the heat beneath
95、 the earths surface to produce electricity.”(他们的措施包括利用地表下的热量发电。)和前文“In recent years, a new benefit of volcanoes has surfaced.”(近年来，火山的一个新的好处浮出水面。)可知，此处是指利用火山发电，所以选项D“科学家们正在利用火山为城市供电。”切合文意。故选D。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。Last week, I drove to Joes

Instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to take a walk in the garden.It was May and roses were blossoming and, under the trees,
130、 we could also see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) in the grass, as if a painter had painted our garden with red, yellow and green.

131、in this garden.”“But I like dandelions,” I protested. “All flowers are beautiful even dandelions.”My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower is beautiful in its own way, isnt it?” she asked thoughtfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over.“And that is true of people too,” she added.
