Similarly, children a

30、 watching her child playing netball in a school playground alongside a busy London A-road. “I started researching the effect of walls along roads.” Dr Collins said. “It became evident that along the pedestrian（行人的）side of these roadside walls, there are vortexes（涡旋）where the air quality can actually
31、 be even worse as the pollutants get trapped in them.”Initially building off simple models, Dr Collins and Dr Huw Woodward, also from the Centre for Environmental Policy, explored ideas of urban design that would mitigate these vortex effects and improve air quality for pedestrians and especially ch

33、allenges faced during this project, Dr Collins said: “Initially, it was difficult to convince others to get on board. The focus is very much on successfully reducing smoke from cars, but there are things we can do now to protect our children.”“With increased attention being placed on the challenges

A。细节理解题。根据第二段中的“football is far and away the most popular sport it was difficult for Moussambani to find a place to train consistently（持续地）”可知，在莫桑巴尼的祖国，足球是最受欢迎的运动。生活在这样一个对足球狂热的国家，莫桑巴尼很难找到一个可以持续练习游泳的地方。由此可知，莫桑巴尼的国家对游泳不够重视，这导致他无法得到正规的训练。（注：
78、far and away用于形容词的比较级或最高级之前，意为“无疑地；显然地”。）25. C。细节理解题。根据第四段的内容可知，比赛当天，莫桑巴尼前50米游得很出色，可是在比赛后半段，他挣扎着浮在水面上，场外的人甚至都考虑跳进水里把他救出来。就在那时，他听到了人群的叫喊，鼓励他“加油，加油，加油”，这给了他完成比赛的力量。由此可知，莫桑巴尼很艰难地完成了比赛。26. A。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的内容可知，一位评论员说道：“这就是奥运会的意义所在。奥运会最重要的不是胜利，而是参与。生活中最重要的不是战胜别人，而是努力奋斗。”，而莫桑巴尼在奥运会中的表现正是“重在参与”的最好体现。由此可推知
79、，在这位评论员看来，莫桑巴尼展现了奥运精神。27. B。细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Moussambani hopes to grow the sport in his country.”可知，莫桑巴尼现在希望能在自己的国家推广游泳运动。【语篇导读】本文是说明文。伦敦帝国理工学院的研究人员设计出了弯曲的路障，可保护人们尤其是儿童免受空气污染的破坏性影响。28. A。推理判断题。根据第二段中的“children are more readily exposed（接触）to air pollution simply because they live closer to the ground”可
80、知，孩子们身高相对成人更矮小，生活的环境与地面的距离更近，而地面是重污染聚集地，所以孩子们更容易受到空气污染的侵害。29. B。词义猜测题。根据第三段中对涡旋的解释“vortexes（涡旋）where the air quality can actually be even worse as the pollutants get trapped in them”可知，涡旋处空气质量非常差。由此可推知，Collins博士和Woodward博士的设计应该是要“减少”涡旋效应，提高空气质量。故选B。30. C。细节理解题。根据第五段中的“the researchers found that curv
81、ed structures would more effectively reflect pollutants back towards the roads and would very rapidly improve air quality for pedestrians in an inexpensive manner”可知，这些科研人员发现弯曲的结构可以更有效地将污染物反射回道路，从而快速提高空气质量。由此可知，研究人员的设计有望减少行人暴露于污染空气的机会。31. C。推断判断题。根据最后一段Grant的言论可知，随着应对空气污染的挑战越来越受到人们关注，亟需独特、有效的城市设计来防治
82、空气污染，而这种弯曲的路障可以有效解决这些问题，给公众带来益处。由此可推知，Grant认为这一项目未来前景广阔。【语篇导读】本文是议论文。作者在文中讨论了旅游对巴塞罗那的影响；虽然旅游带动了当地经济，但当地人的生活成本也水涨船高，生活的幸福指数也不高。32.

83、rner”可知，住在哥特区（Gothic Quarter）的作者四周都是美丽的建筑，距离一些特别棒的商店、自己心爱的咖啡馆仅一步之遥，生活特别便利，这也是作者热爱这里的原因。33. D。细节理解题。根据第四段的内容可知，面对越来越多的旅游者蜂拥至巴塞罗那，民众的抵触情绪高涨，定期进行“反旅游”的抗议活动，于是巴塞罗那市政会出台了一项法律。然而，在作者看来，这项法律只是规范了旅客的食宿，并没有从根本上制约旅游业（The councils efforts are not controlling tourism. Theyre only controlling accommodation）。也就是说
84、，作者认为这项法律没有解决根本问题没有减少巴塞罗那的旅游人数。34. B。段落大意题。最后一段中作者针对来巴塞罗那的旅客提出了几点建议：避开旺季、去加泰罗尼亚地区（Catalonia）的其他地方也转转，增加这些地区的经济收入；减少巴塞罗那的旅客压力，学习一些加泰罗尼亚语与当地人交流，以示尊敬。35. A。主旨大意题。本文讨论了作者作为一名巴塞罗那本地人，亲眼所见过度旅游对巴塞罗那造成的问题：当地人生活成本增加，幸福指数降低，城市失去了生命力。A项作标题最能概括文意。【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章给出了一些做志愿工作的建议。36. F。由下文的“on legal websites take ad

They make our world more beautiful and lively. They provide food and medicine for us. They play a role in main
112、taining the balance of our ecosystem. Its therefore our duty to protect animals. The best way to protect animals is to do what many countries did with whales years ago. When several whale species were hunted near to extinction in the last century, many countries made killing whales against the law.
113、If we make it against the law to hunt endangered animals, populations of these animals will have time to recover. We must also try to protect animal habitats. Creating protected areas is an effective way to protect animal habitats. Well-planned and well-managed protected areas can ensure that water
114、and food supplies are safe, and can reduce the impact of human activities. There are also things we can do to help protect animal habitats, and even a small action can make a big difference. For example, using less paper may not seem like it would save the animals in the Amazon rainforest. Yet since the loss of animal habitats is partly caused by people cutting down trees in the rainforest, to a certain degree, reducing the need for paper helps protect animal habitats from destruction.
