There is also a free tour to Forsyth Park, home to a 300-year-old Candler Oak tree.” (在
35、当地历史学家的带领下,你可以徒步游览这座城市的名胜,你可以了解更多著名的广场,还可以看到阿甘正传中阿甘坐过的长椅。你还可以免费参观福赛斯公园,那里有一棵300年历史的坎德勒橡树。)可知,游客在Savannah 观光过程中可以了解该城市的历史。故选A项。【22题详解】推理判断题。根据Block Island, Rhode Island 部分的“There you can make your way to Block Island and visit 1661 Farms and Gardens, which is home to kangaroos, camels, ducks, goats a
36、nd much more.” (在那里,你可以前往布洛克岛,参观1661农场和花园,那里有袋鼠、骆驼、鸭子、山羊等动物。) 可知, Block Island 适合喜欢看动物的游客。故选B项。【23题详解】细节理解题。 根据Roanoke, Virginia部分的“Take advantage of the arts and crafts trips, hiking paths and waterfall stops all along the Blue Ridge Parkway.

37、eum of Art for free.”(沿着蓝岭公园大道,沿途有艺术和工艺品、徒步路径和瀑布。如果你不想呆在户外,可以免费参观陶布曼艺术博物馆。)可推断, Roanoke既有室外也有室内的观光活动。故选D项。BSome people usually say that the joy of giving is the joy of living. Tony Marchs story shows how someone who has enthusiasm for philanthropy(乐善好施) can live joyously by doing what he loves: Help
38、ing the less fortunate to achieve lives of self-sufficiency(自给自足) and dignity. Tony March is a man who rose from great poorness to extreme wealth, while, at the same time, generously giving his wealth and his time to improve the situation of those who struggled to survive in the world in which he wa
39、s raised.At a time when human kindness and sympathy seem to be on the endangered behavior list, it is exhilarating to learn of a man like Tony and be reminded that caring individuals still exist, that the human spirit, firmly focused, can achieve wonders, and that one persons desire to improve the h
40、uman condition can have such a strong influence on improving the quality of life for tens of thousands of people.Tony grew up without a father and was regularly beaten by an unloving mother, moving 17 times before he turned 10. He was always laughed at and had to help feed his family by working at a
41、 grocery store. Through all the mental and physical abuse, Tony didnt give up and used education to break the poorness cycle and became the owner of 21 auto dealerships. “It is education that brings success to me,” he said.When the Director of Metropolitan Ministries (a homeless shelfter) found out
42、about Tony, he suggested that Mr. March “go public” with his story so that others, inspired by what he had done, would be more willing to give their talent, time and money to help the less fortunate as well. It was a persuasive argument that Tony finally accepted. His book, Paying It Backward, will
43、be published soon.Paying It Backward reminds us that one can live joyously by giving joyously and we all can do a part to help the less fortunate by giving our time, talent, and money for charitable causes.24.

46、ingC. Living Joyfully Can Make a Big DifferenceD. Giving Our Time And Money Is Important【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. B【解析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者用乐善好施的托尼马奇的故事告诉我们给予的快乐就是生活的快乐,一个人做好事能带动许多人做好事,而改变一个社会。【24题详解】词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“At a time when human kindness and sympathy seem to be on the endangered behavior list, ”及下文“a
47、man like Tony and be reminded that caring individuals still exist, that the human spirit, firmly focused, can achieve wonders”可知,当人类的善良和同情似乎被列入濒危行为清单的时候,托尼却用实际行动提醒着我们有爱心的人仍然存在,人类精神,只要坚定地专注,就能创造奇迹,这自然是“令人振奋的”事情,故划线词和“exciting”意思接近。故选D项。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Through all the mental and physical abuse, Ton
48、y didnt give up and used education to break the poorness cycle and became the owner of 21 auto dealerships. “It is education that brings success to me,” he said.(尽管遭受了精神和身体上的虐待,托尼没有放弃,而是利用教育打破了贫困的循环,成为了21家汽车经销商的老板。“是教育给我带来了成功,”他说。)可知,教育对托尼的影响很大。故选B项。【26题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段“When the Director of Metropolit
49、an Ministries found out about Tony, he suggested that Mr. March “go public” with his story so that others, inspired by what he had done, would be more willing to give their talent, time and money to help the less fortunate as well. It was a persuasive argument that Tony finally accepted.”(当一个流浪者收容所的
50、负责人发现了托尼的事迹后,建议他将自己的故事“公诸于众”,这样其他人受到他事迹的鼓舞,也会更愿意献出他们的才华、时间和金钱去帮助那些不幸的人。托尼最终接受了这个有说服力的说法。)可知,托尼最终同意写一本关于他的书是因为他想鼓励更多的人做好事。故选C项。【27题详解】主旨大意题。文章开篇点题,根据第一段“Some people usually say that the joy of giving is the joy of living.”可知,有些人常说给予的快乐就是生活的快乐;下文用托尼的具体事例表明帮助别人能够使得更多的人快乐地生活;最后一段进行总结:one can live joyous
51、ly by giving joyously(一个人可以通过快乐地给予而快乐地生活)。故B选项“The Joy of Giving Is the Joy of Living”(给予的快乐就是生活的快乐)最适合作文章标题。故选B项。CThat banana peel from your lunch, turned into graphene(石墨烯), a valuable material in electronics and many other fields, could bring a massive reduction of the enironmental effect of conc

Production of cement reportedly gives off as much as 8% human-made carbon dioxide every year. “By adding graphene t
55、o concrete, we could use less concrete for buildings,” Tour said.The flash graphene process gets its name from the spark of bright light created when the chemical reaction occurs. Most of the energy is not turning into heat, but instead goes into a type of thermal electromagnetic radiation (热电磁辐射).
56、That radiation breaks every carbon-carbon bond and any extra energy leftover is released in the form of the bright flash of light. Flash graphene is made in just 10 milliseconds this way.The problem with the flash process at the current stage is: The researchers could only make about a picogram of g
57、raphene, an extremely small amount of graphene that might be suitable for electronics.

62、者利用高温可将废弃的食物或塑料垃圾等材料转换为极具经济价值的石墨烯。【28题详解】细节理解题。 根据第二段“A new process introduced by the Rice University lab of chemist James Tour can turn large quantities of almost any carbon source into valuable graphene. Tour said the “flash graphene” technique can transform a ton of coal, food waste or plastic in
63、to graphene for a tiny amount of the cost used by other graphene-producing methods.(莱斯大学化学家詹姆斯图尔(James Tour)的实验室引入了一种新工艺,可以将几乎任何碳源的大量碳转化为有价值的石墨烯。图尔说,这种“闪蒸石墨烯”技术可以将一吨煤炭、食物垃圾或塑料转化为石墨烯,其成本仅为其他石墨烯生产方法的极小部分。)”可知,James Tour 的石墨烯生产方法,不仅有成本优势,而且原材料易得。故选C项。【29题详解】推理判断题。 根据第三段 “The world throws out 30% to 40%
64、 of all food every year and plastic waste is of worldwide concern.(全世界每年扔掉30%到40%的食物,塑料垃圾引起了全世界的关注。)”以及第四段“As reported in Nature , a concentration of as little as 0.1% of flash graphene in the cement(水泥) used to bind concrete could lessen its massive environmental effect by a third. Production of ce
65、ment reportedly gives off as much as 8% human-made carbon dioxide every year.(据自然杂志报道,在用于粘结混凝土的水泥中,只要含有0.1%的石墨烯,就能将其对环境的巨大影响降低三分之一。据报道,水泥生产每年释放出高达8%的人为二氧化碳。)” 可知,闪蒸石墨烯以食物和塑料垃圾为原料,且可减少建筑行业的水泥需求,这说明了:闪蒸石墨烯在缓解全球变暖有大潜力。故选C项。【30题详解】推理判断题。 根据最后一段“ The problem with the flash process at the current stage is
66、: The researchers could only make about a picogram of graphene, an extremely small amount of graphene that might be suitable for electronics. Tour hopes to produce a kilogram a day of flash graphene within two years, starting with a project recently funded by the Department of Energy to change U.S.-
67、sourced coal.(目前闪蒸工艺的问题是:研究人员只能制造出大约一微克的石墨烯,这是极少量的石墨烯,可能适用于电子产品。Tour希望在两年内每天生产1公斤的闪蒸石墨烯,这是从能源部最近资助的一个项目开始的,该项目旨在改变源自美国的煤炭。)”可知,研究人员在接下来的2年里将会致力于增加这种闪蒸石墨烯的产出。故选B项。【31题详解】推理判断题。 由第一段“That banana peel from your lunch, turned into graphene(石墨烯), a valuable material in electronics and many other fields,
68、could bring a massive reduction of the enironmental effect of concrete(混凝土) and other building materials.(你午餐吃的香蕉皮,可以转化为石墨烯,一种在电子和许多其他领域有价值的材料,可以大大降低混凝土和其他建筑材料对环境的影响。)”可知,文章要介绍一种将垃圾转化为材料的方法。通读全文可知,文章介绍了:研究者利用高温可将废弃的食物或塑料垃圾等材料转换为极具经济价值的石墨烯。所以文章的主要目的是呈现一种把垃圾变为“宝藏”的方式,故选D项。DA new study, published in Mu
69、sic Education Research, examined whether an extended music education had an impact on pupils experienced satisfaction with school. Nearly 1,000 pupils at ten Finnish schools with extended music classes and comparison classes participated in a survey that measured the quality of school life at Year 3
70、 and Year 6.According to the results, the differences between the extended music classes and the comparison classes were significant at Year 6. But there were no differences between the groups at Year 3. The most likely explanation is the amount of music lessons which was four hours per week for the

80、d in Music Education Research, examined whether an extended music education had an impact on pupils experienced satisfaction with school.” (发表在音乐教育研究上的一项新研究调查了延长音乐教育是否会影响学生对学校的体验满意度。)以及第二段 “According to the results, the differences between the extended music classes and the comparison classes were s
81、ignificant at Year 6. But there were no differences between the groups at Year 3. The most likely explanation is the amount of music lessons which was four hours per week for the extended music classes and one lesson per week for the normal classes.” (结果显示,在六年级时,音乐拓展班与对照班之间有显著的差异。但三年级各组间没有差异。最可能的解释是
82、音乐课的数量带来的影响,音乐拓展你班每周上4个小时音乐课,而对照普通班每周只上1个小时。)可知,年长的学生在接受更多音乐课的情况下,对学校生活也更满意。故选A项。【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段的“some extended education classes with an emphasis on visual arts and sports were recently included in the analysis.” (最近,该分析还包括了以视觉艺术和肢体运动为重点的延伸教育课。)可知,这些最新研究的课程强调视觉艺术和肢体运动。故选B项。【34题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段的Eer
