25、s. Each year, thousands of sea turtle mothers clamber ashore, dig into the sand to lay their eggs, and then return to the sea. After being incubated(孵)for around two months, the eggs hatch and the tiny turtles strive to reach the water.Approximately 90 percent of the sea turtle nesting in the United

During the nesting season, which runs from March through October, the sands are normally crowded with humans. However, this year the coronavirus pandemic severel

They asked 131 students to write an article about their school experiences. Half of the students receive
36、d instructions for their writing, and half were left to their own. 18 Afterward the researchers found that those in the instructed group were more willing to complete their articles, compared with those who lacked guidanceeven if the latter were closer to being done. 1920 Stephanie Couch, the direct

Couch, whose work was also featured in the special issue, says that we should tell them to think of failure as part of a process toward success.AHowever, all were stopped before finishing.BThe saying shows the importance of success.CTeaching student

She needed to clean out her gutters (雨水槽) and wanted me to h
59、old the ladder.(去年这个时候,Grace有一天打电话给我,问我是否有梯子。她需要清理她的雨水槽,并想要让我扶梯子)”可知,去年这个时候Grace想要做些清理工作。故选C。2推理判断题。根据第三段的“A couple weeks ago, she told me shed been spending too much money and decided to apply for a tending job at a local hotel. Though I didnt know much about todays people, Id never considered what
60、 it would be like to apply for and begin a new job at the age of seventy.( 几个星期前,她告诉我她花了太多钱,决定在当地一家旅馆申请一份抚育工作。 虽然我对今天的人不太了解,但我从来没有考虑过在七十岁的时候申请和开始一份新工作是什么样子的。)”和“Anyway she got the job, serving and tending guests at the hotel. She actually lived out her life motto.(无论如何,她得到了这份工作,在酒店为客人服务和照顾客人。 她实际上活出
61、了她的人生格言)”可推断,Grace70岁了,想要开始一份新工作,就去得到了一份工作,她实际上是按照她的人生格言活着,因此推断Grace的人生格言是:按照自己喜欢的方式活着。故选B。3推理判断题。根据最后一段的“The day she left for her training at 6:00 a.m., I walked across the street with my ladder and went to clean out her gutters.(在她早上6点离开接受训练的那天,我带着梯子穿过街道,去清理她的排水沟。)” 可推断,作者帮助Grace清理排水沟,说明作者是一个热心的邻居
62、。故选A。4C 5A 6A 7D【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了一位父亲着手解决吵得女儿睡不好觉的地板噪音问题并发现了解决这一问题最好的润滑剂。4细节理解题。根据第一段“Just walking out of her bedroom would wake herthe noise from their floorboards was so loud that little Sienna would hear it from any room in the house.”(只要一走出卧室,她就会被吵醒,他们家的地板发出的噪音太大了,小Sienna从房子里的任何一个房间都能听到噪音)可知,Sien
63、na的问题是经常会被地板的吱嘎声吵醒,故选C。5推理判断题。根据第三段“Lanzarotti decided to take matters into his own hands and spent hours on the Internet for a solution. He learned that the noise was caused by friction, which could be stopped if properly lubricated (润滑). Lanzarotti also found out that a chemical compound found in
64、Teflon was one of the worlds best lubricant components.”(Lanzarotti决定亲自处理地板噪音问题,并花了数小时在互联网上寻找解决方案。他了解到噪音是由摩擦引起的,如果润滑得当,摩擦就可以停止。他还发现,在聚四氟乙烯中发现的一种化合物是世界上最好的润滑剂成分之一)可知,为了让女儿睡好觉,Lanzarotti花时间解决地板噪音问题并且还有重大发现,因此他是体贴又有创造性的,故选A。6细节理解题。根据最后一段“I tested it at home and just couldnt believe the result. I spraye
65、d it in Sienna s room first and the floor was immediately silenced,” said Lanzarotti.”(Lanzarotti 说:“我在家测试了一下,简直不敢相信结果。我先在Sienna的房间里喷了一下,地板立刻安静了下来”)可知,Lanzarotti对喷雾剂的效果感到很吃惊,故选A。7词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“You can treat a couple of rooms in an hour.”可知,你可以在一个小时内处理几个房间,因此对于那些想解决地板噪音问题的父母来说,这是一件轻而易举的事,由此可知画线词词义为“轻
66、而易举的事”,故选D。8D 9B 10D 11A【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了德克萨斯州的高中生Arnold因为自己的头发而遭到学校的歧视,禁止参加学校活动,后来被社交媒体传播,大家站起来反抗,出现了极大的反转,最终他可以带着自己的头发参加奥斯卡的颁奖礼的故事。8细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Its been less than a month since Arnold, a Texas high school student, was forbidden from going to the prom and graduation unless he cut his locs.” 不到
67、一个月前,德克萨斯州的高中生Arnold被禁止参加舞会和毕业典礼,除非他剪掉头发。由此可知不久前,Arnold被禁止参加一些学校活动,故选D。9词句猜测题。根据第一段“As his story spread on social media, celebrities and activists came to Arnolds defence and encouraged him to stand up to his schools hair discrimination. Now, in a significant turn of events, hes proudly wearing his
68、own hair-style at the 2020 Oscars. ” 随着他的故事在社交媒体上传开,名人和活动家们都来为阿诺德辩护,并鼓励他勇敢地面对学校对头发的歧视。现在,事态发生了重大转折,他将骄傲地在2020年奥斯卡颁奖典礼上留着自己的发型。由此可以推断出划线词所在的句子意思是我们如何共同与“对头发的歧视”作斗争,因此this指代的就是歧视,故选B10细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Together, Cherry and Arnold are advocating for the nationwide passage of The CROWN Act, which is the law
69、 authored by California Senator Holly J. Mitchell that makes it illegal to discriminate against Black people for wearing their natural hair in the workplace or at school. Currently the Act has only been passed in New Jersey, California, and New York. ” 切里和阿诺德共同倡导在全国范围内通过王冠法案。该法案由加州参议员霍利米切尔起草,规定歧视在工作
70、场所或学校留自然头发的黑人为非法行为。目前,该法案仅在新泽西州、加利福尼亚州和纽约州获得通过。由此可知王冠法案并未在全国范围内采用。故选D。11推理判断题。根据第一段“Its been less than a month since Arnold, a Texas high school student, was forbidden from going to the prom and graduation unless he cut his locs. As his story spread on social media, celebrities and activists came to
71、 Arnolds defence and encouraged him to stand up to his schools hair discrimination. ” 不到一个月前,德克萨斯州的高中生阿诺德被禁止参加舞会和毕业典礼,除非他剪掉自己的头发。随着他的故事在社交媒体上传开,名人和活动家们都来为阿诺德辩护,并鼓励他勇敢地面对学校对头发的歧视。和最后一段“Tonight, Arnold is looking forward to sharing his story on a massive platform. “As teenagers, we have a voice and we
72、re the future,” he says. “I want more cultural acceptance. If theres any other situation that I feel like I need to stand up for, I would do that in a heartbeat.” 今晚,阿诺德很期待在一个巨大的平台上分享他的故事。“作为青少年,我们有发言权,我们就是未来,”他说。“我想要更多的文化认同感。如果还有其他我觉得需要站出来支持的情况,我会立刻去做。”由此可知本文是在分享一个青年因为头发遭受歧视而站出来反抗的故事,故选A。【点睛】推理判断题的
73、推断对象主要包括隐含意思、目标读者、观点态度、文章出处、写作意图等。以推断隐含意义的题目居多。推断隐含意义,即要求根据文章的某个句子、段落或全文所提供的事实进行逻辑推理,推断出作者没有提到、没有明说或者可能发生的事实。题干中常含infer(推断),suggest(暗示),imply(暗示),indicate(暗示),conclude(推断,得出结论)等词语。解此类题,首先找到相关信息,然后细读、理解相关信息的字面意义,最后结合语境和常识,在字面意义的基础上进行符合逻辑的推断,从而理解作者的言外之意。如小题4,根据第一段“Its been less than a month since Arno
74、ld, a Texas high school student, was forbidden from going to the prom and graduation unless he cut his locs. As his story spread on social media, celebrities and activists came to Arnolds defence and encouraged him to stand up to his schools hair discrimination. ” 不到一个月前,德克萨斯州的高中生阿诺德被禁止参加舞会和毕业典礼,除非他
75、剪掉自己的头发。随着他的故事在社交媒体上传开,名人和活动家们都来为阿诺德辩护,并鼓励他勇敢地面对学校对头发的歧视。和最后一段“Tonight, Arnold is looking forward to sharing his story on a massive platform. “As teenagers, we have a voice and were the future,” he says. “I want more cultural acceptance. If theres any other situation that I feel like I need to stand
76、 up for, I would do that in a heartbeat.” 今晚,阿诺德很期待在一个巨大的平台上分享他的故事。“作为青少年,我们有发言权,我们就是未来,”他说。“我想要更多的文化认同感。如果还有其他我觉得需要站出来支持的情况,我会立刻去做。”由此可知本文主要讲述的就是一个青年因为头发遭受歧视而站出来反抗的故事,故选A。12C 13D 14D 15A【分析】本文是说明文,分析了疫情期间海滩关闭和海龟产卵之间的关系。12词义猜测题。cure“治疗”;option“选择”;blessing“祝福;赐福”;challenge“挑战”。画线单词所在句要表达的意思是:(海滩关闭)是
77、令游客失望的,然而却给海龟带来了福气。该句中“while”(然而)一词表明上下文是转折关系,故“boon”一词词义应与“disappointing”相反,故选C。13推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“In terms of a successful rate of nesting, we actually did find a significant difference during the beach closures and then after”(就筑巢成功率而言,我们确实在海滩关闭期间和之后发现了显著的差异)以及最后两句 “.During the closures, loggerhead
78、s, one of the commonly seen turtles on Floridas beach successfully nested 61 percentWhen the beaches reopened,that number dropped to 46 percent”(在关闭期间,佛罗里达海滩上常见的海龟之一红海龟成功地嵌了61%的巢。当海滩重新开放时,这一数字下降到了46%)可知,海滩关闭期间游客减少,海龟产卵增加,故选D。14推理判断题。根据最后一段生物学家Jimena的话“With fewer tourism dollars supporting local work
79、ers,we are worried about the conservationists as well as the turtlesBut maybe in the long run,we will see good numbers because there is less boat traffic in the ocean”(随着支持当地工人的旅游资金减少,我们为保护主义者和海龟感到担忧。但从长远来看,我们可能会看到不错的数字,因为海上的船只减少了。)可知,她既提到了疫情期间海滩关闭使得研究和保护海龟的资金减少,也提到了海龟因此获得更多的产卵机会,态度是客观的,anxious“焦虑的”
80、;ambiguous“模棱两可的”;indifferent“漠不关心的”;objective“客观的”,故选D。15推理判断题。本文引用了海龟保护组织的数字,介绍了海滩关闭期间海龟产卵的情况及科研人员的观点,所以这篇文章是最有可能发表在海洋生物保护的网站上,故选A。16E 17D 18A 19G20C【分析】这是一篇说明文。人们常说“失败是成功之母”。这句话虽然有一定道理,但并没有告诉我们如何化输为胜。文章主要介绍了日本教育心理学教授Manalo的一项研究表明学生越早失败,他们就能越早前进。告诉我们要教会学生不要害怕失败,这会让目标更容易实现。16根据上文People often say th
81、at “failure is the mother of success”.可知人们常说“失败是成功之母”。以及第二段中The issues 15 studies provide teachers and educational researchers with a guide for achieving success.可知本期的15项研究为教师和教育研究者提供了成功的指南。由此可知,本句承接上文对“失败是成功之母”这句话进行评价,认为虽然说得有道理,但是也指出这句话并没有告诉我们如何将失败变成胜利,与后文一项研究提供了成功指南相呼应。故E选项“这句话虽然有一些道理,但并没有告诉我们如何将失
82、败变成胜利”符合上下文语境,故选E。17根据后文Another confirmed that advice on failures is most constructive when the receiver is prepared to experience unpleasant feelings.可知另一项研究证实,当接受失败的人准备经历不愉快的感觉时,关于失败的建议最有建设性。由此可知,本句是在说明一项研究结果,且后文Another与D选项中One相对应,oneanother表示“一个另一个”。故D选项“一项研究表明,学生越早失败,他们就能越早进步”符合上下文语境,故选D。18根据本段第
83、一句Manalo and his co-authors also focused on overcoming one everyday form of failure: not completing a task.可知Manalo和他的合著者们还专注于克服一种常见的失败:没有完成任务。由此可知,这项研究需要在学生们完成写作任务之前就停止。故A选项“然而,所有这些都在完成前停止了”符合上下文语境,故选A。19根据上文Afterward the researchers found that those in the instructed group were more willing to com
