【語篇簡析】瀏覽三個(gè)劃線粗體字標(biāo)題結(jié)合文中的第一段就一句話可知：這是一篇應(yīng)用文（Buxton游樂場

的宣傳海報(bào)），主要介紹了三個(gè)活動(dòng)項(xiàng)目。

56.Ifyouwanttotakeanundergounldjourney,whichplaceisthebestchoice?

A.Pole'sCaven.B.PavilionGardens.C.BuxtonMuseum.D.GreenManGallery.

【答案】A

【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由Highenergy標(biāo)題中的”...orjourneybeneaththeearthatPoole'sCavern”可知，在

PooledCavern,可以在地下旅行，也就是乘坐地鐵旅行。所以如果你想乘地鐵旅行,Poole、Cavern

是你最好的選擇。故A選項(xiàng)正確。

57.BuxtonOpenHouse&PavilionArtsCentreisspecialbecauseitoffers.

A.ridesinsmalltrainsB.coursesinmodemarts

C.artisticandculturalactivitiesD.basiccoursesinhorseriding

【答案】C

【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由Highminded標(biāo)題中的“Buxtonisjustifiablyproudofit'sculturallifeandyouwillfind

muchtosuitalltasteswithart,music,opera,andtheperformingartsatBuxtonOperaHouse&

PavilionArtsCenterandGreenManGallery”可知,Buxlon以其豐富的文化生活而自豪；在Buxton

OperaHouse&PavilionArtsCenterandGreenManGallery,您將發(fā)現(xiàn)許多適合各種品味的藝術(shù)、音

樂、歌劇和表演藝術(shù)。所以BuxtonOperaHouse&PavilionArtsCenter特別是因?yàn)樗峁┧囆g(shù)和

文化活動(dòng)。故C選項(xiàng)正確。

B

【語篇簡析】本篇為說明文。短文第一句”在20世紀(jì)60年代,在研究黃石國家公園的火山歷史時(shí)，鮑勃?克里

斯蒂安森對一些奇怪的事情感到困惑：他找不到公園的火山”提出話題，接著解惑：原來，這兒

的火山并不是像我們大部分人想象的那種圓錐體形狀的高聳的樣子，而是一個(gè)巨大的洞，這個(gè)

洞太大了以至于從地面上的任何地方都看不見。

58.WhatpuzzledChristiansenwhenhewasstudyingYellowstone?

A.Itscomplicatedgeographicalfeatures.B.Itsever-lastinginfluenceontourism.

C.Themysterioushistoryofthepark.D.Theexactlocationofthevolcano.

【答案】D

【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句ButChristiansencouldiftfindtheYellowstonevolcanoanywhere.

可知，他困惑的是到處看不到火山。這里轉(zhuǎn)換表達(dá)成他困惑的是火山的恰切位置。故選D。

59.Whatdoesthesecond-paragraphmainlytalkabout?

A.Theshapesofvolcanoes.B.Theimpactsofvolcanoes.

C.Theactivitiesofvolcanoes.D.Theheightsofvolcanoes.

【答案】A

【解析】主旨大意題。本段講述了兩種形狀的火山，?種是通常人們所理解的由火山巖漿堆積形成的圓錐

體,還有一種極具爆發(fā)力的火山，它們會在一個(gè)大裂縫中爆裂，留下?個(gè)巨大的洞，故選Ao

60.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“blow-up"inthelastparagraphmostprobablymean?

A.Hot-airballoon.B.Digitalcamera.C.Bigphotograph.D.Bird'sview.

【答案】C

【解析】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段第一句JustatthistimeNASAdecidedtotestsomenewhigh-altitude

theparkauthoritiesontheassumptionthattheymightmakeaniceblow-upfbroneofthevisitors5

centers.可知,美國國家航空和宇宙航行局為測試一些新的高海拔照相機(jī)而拍攝了黃石公園的照

片。一位深思熟慮的官員把其中的一些照片副本轉(zhuǎn)交給了公園管理部門，認(rèn)為他們可能會將其放

大以供其中一個(gè)游客中心展示。故可知，此處意為將照片放大，選Co

【語篇簡析】本文屬于議論文。作者一開始提出問題：誰在乎人們錯(cuò)誤地認(rèn)為互聯(lián)網(wǎng)比洗衣機(jī)有更重要的

影響？為什么人們對最近的變化印象更深刻這一點(diǎn)很重要？作者接著提出自己的觀點(diǎn)：如果

錯(cuò)誤的判斷僅僅是人們的意見而已，那到?jīng)]有多大關(guān)系。然而，錯(cuò)誤的判斷會有實(shí)際的影響一

導(dǎo)致稀缺資源的使用不當(dāng)。然后進(jìn)行具體的論述，最后得出結(jié)論：我們不應(yīng)該一味盲目地追求

最新科技的運(yùn)用，傳統(tǒng)的科技在今天依然占有一席之地。

61.Misjudgmentsontheinfluencesofnewtechnologycanleadto.

A.alackofconfidenceintechnologyB.aslowprogressintechnology

C.aconflictofpublicopinionsD.awasteoflimitedresources

【答案】D

【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)misjudgments定位到第二段：Itwouldnotmatterifthesemisjudgmentswerejust

amatterofpeople'sopinions.However,theyhaverealimpacts,astheyresultinmisguideduseof

scarceresources.可知：如果錯(cuò)誤的判斷僅僅是人們的意見而已,那到?jīng)]有多大關(guān)系。然而,錯(cuò)誤的

判斷會有實(shí)際的影響導(dǎo)致稀缺資源的使用不當(dāng)。其中題干中的leadto與原文中的resultin

為同義替換；選項(xiàng)中的limited與原文中的scarce為同義替換。其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)（導(dǎo)致缺乏科技自信

/緩慢的科技發(fā)展進(jìn)程/大眾觀點(diǎn)的沖突）都不符合原文意思。故選D。

62.TheexampleinParagraph4suggeststhatdonatorsshould.

A.takepeople'sessentialneedsintoaccountB.maketheirprogrammesattractivetopeople

C.ensurethateachchildgetsfinancialsupportD.providemoreaffordableinternetfacilities

【答案】A

【解析】推理判斷題。第四段講的是人們對科技的過度迷戀與觀念上的誤區(qū)使得他們在幫助發(fā)展中國家

和貧困地區(qū)時(shí)在捐助物品上的選擇錯(cuò)誤。第四行的轉(zhuǎn)折詞however后提出捐贈(zèng)者贈(zèng)予的電腦與

互聯(lián)網(wǎng)設(shè)備并非是發(fā)展中國家最需要的,也許實(shí)用性強(qiáng)的產(chǎn)品相對于給每個(gè)孩子一臺電腦更能幫

助提升人們的生活水平，由第六行的morethan比較關(guān)系可以排除D選項(xiàng)；根據(jù)這一段主要講的

內(nèi)容（捐贈(zèng)者在捐贈(zèng)物資上的類型選擇，而不是直接捐款）可以排除C選項(xiàng)；由段尾句“many

donatorshaverushedintofancyprogrammeswithoutcarefullyassessingtherelativelong-termcosts

andbenefitsofalternativeusesoftheirmoney.^^可知捐贈(zèng)者的捐助要考慮到人們的實(shí)際需求.故推

斷選項(xiàng)A正確。B選項(xiàng)“使得該項(xiàng)目更為吸引人”與題意無關(guān)。

63.Whathasledmanygovernmentstoremovenecessaryregulations?

A.Neglectingtheimpactsoftechnologicaladvances.

B.Believingthattheworldhasbecomeborderless.

C.Ignoringthepowerofeconomicdevelopment.

D.Over-emphasizingtheroleofinternationalcommunication.

【答案】B

【解析】推理判斷題。由第五段最后一句"Believinginsuchaworld,manygovernmentshaveputanendto

someoftheverynecessaryregulationsoncross-borderflowsofcapital,labourandgoods,withpoor

results."不難看出這道題的重點(diǎn)在于要弄清楚"Believinginsuchaworld,,到底指的是什么。看本

段第一句可知：對于新興科技的迷戀已經(jīng)導(dǎo)致人們相信，最近通信和運(yùn)輸科技方面的變化出現(xiàn)如

此徹底的變革，以至于我們現(xiàn)在生活在一個(gè)“無國界的世界''里。因此"suchaworld”指的就是“a

borderlessworld”,故選B項(xiàng)（是對以上這句話的同義替換）。其余三個(gè)選項(xiàng)（忽略/科技進(jìn)步的影響

/忽略了經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的力量/過度強(qiáng)調(diào)國際交流的角色作用）表里不?，沒有答在點(diǎn)子上。

64.Whatcanwelearnfromthepassage?

A.Peopleshouldbeencouragedtomakemoredonations.

B.Traditionaltechnologystillhasaplacenowadays.

C.Makingrightcareerchoicesiscrucialtopersonalsuccess.

D.Economicpoliciesshouldfollowtechnologicaltrends.

【答案】B

【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段“However,ourfascinationwiththelatest,andourundervaluation

ofwhathasalreadybecomecommon,can,andhas,ledusinallsortsofwrongdirections.“可知：對

于最新科技的迷戀,加上我們對于最新流行趨勢的低估，可能會并且已經(jīng)做出了很多錯(cuò)

誤的決定。言下之意：我們不應(yīng)該一味盲目地追求最新科技的運(yùn)用,也就是B選項(xiàng)所說“傳

統(tǒng)的科技在今天依然占有一席之地”。此選項(xiàng)也可以由第三段最后一句：Thisbeliefin

"post-industrialsociety^^hasledthosecountriestoneglecttheirmanufacturingsector■（制造業(yè)）with

negativeconsequencesfortheireconomies.（這些國家忽略了傳統(tǒng)的制造業(yè)，導(dǎo)致對他們經(jīng)濟(jì)產(chǎn)

生了負(fù)面的影響）得到驗(yàn)證。根據(jù)62題的答案可以排除A選項(xiàng)：人們捐錢固然很好，但是仍

然需要理智判斷該把錢捐到那些正確的方面上；C選項(xiàng)：作出正確的職業(yè)選擇對于個(gè)人的成功

是關(guān)鍵。這是在偷換概念，對原文的曲解。因?yàn)樵牡囊馑际牵豪斫饪萍稼厔輰τ谠趥€(gè)體水

平上做出正確的職業(yè)決定很重要（重要的是理解科技趨勢，而不是做出正確的職業(yè)選擇）；D選

項(xiàng)：經(jīng)濟(jì)政策應(yīng)該跟隨科技趨勢，與C選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤的原因相一致。

【語篇簡析】本文屬于記敘文。短文由首句“65歲的古德云被發(fā)現(xiàn)患有早期阿爾茨海默氏癥，他失去了記憶”

展開了故事的敘述：短文介紹了Steve在患阿茲海默癥之際，通過女兒的朋友Naomi的幫助,

最終留下屬于自己樂章并在鎮(zhèn)子里的教堂進(jìn)行演出的故事，

65.WhydidMelissawanttosaveherfather'smusic?

A.Hismusiccouldstophisdiseasefromworsening.

B.Shewantedtopleaseherdyingoldfather.

C.Hismusicdeservedtobepreservedinthefamily.

D.Shewantedtomakeherfatheraprofessional.

【答案】c

【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段可知,Steve的專業(yè)是學(xué)的軟件工程，還是一個(gè)鋼琴的熱愛者，是家里唯一

的音樂家，音樂是他真正熱愛的東西，盡管沒有在家以外的地方彈奏過鋼琴。根據(jù)第三段Melissa,

hisdaughter,feltitmorethanworthwhiletosavehismusic.可知他的女兒Melissa覺得保存他的音樂

很有價(jià)值，故選Co本題容易誤選B項(xiàng)（Melissa想取悅她快要死去的老父親），其實(shí)根本目的還是為

了幫助父親保持住音樂方面的才華來對抗遺忘。

66.AfterhearingSteve'splaying,Naomi.

A.refusedtomakeacommentonitB.wasdeeplyimpressedbyhismusic

C.decidedtofreeStevefromsufferingD.regrettedofferinghelptoherfriend

【答案】B

【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第十段“itwasbeautiful,"Naomisaidafterlisteningtotherecording.'*themusic

wasworthsaving.”可知，聽了錄音之后Naomi說很美，值得保存，故可以得出Naomi對Steve的音樂

印象深刻，故選B。

67.HowcantheprocessofSteve'srecordingbedescribed?

A.Itwasslowbutproductive.B.Itwasbeneficialtohishealth.

C.ItwastiresomeforNaomi.D.ItwasvitalfbrNaomi'scareer.

【答案】A

【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第十二段He'dmovehisfingersclumsilyonthepiano,andthenshe'dtakehisplace.

Hestruggledtoexplainwhatheheardinhishead.以及第十三段SteveandNaomispokeinmusical

code:lines,beats,intervals,movingfromtheroottoendasonginanewkey.Steveheardit.Allofit,

hejustcouldiftplayit.可知,Sieve會笨拙地把手指放在鋼琴上，然后Naomi把手指放在他放的地方,

并且Steve努力解釋腦海里的內(nèi)容，所有的這些，都是Naomi在彈奏，而Steve在聽，故可知這個(gè)錄制

過程很慢。根據(jù)第十六段Naomimanagedtofigureout16ofSteve'sfavorite,andmostpersonal

songs.可知作品很多。故選A。BD選項(xiàng)是無中生有,文章根本沒有提及；C選項(xiàng)中的“tiresome”明

顯有誤。

68.BeforeStevefinished"MelancholyFlower/*hiswifeJoni.

A.thoughtthemusictalentofStevewasexhaustedB.didn'texpectthedamagethediseasebroughtabout

C.didn'tfullyrealizethevalueofherhusband'smusicD.broughtherhusband'smusiccareertoperfection

【答案】C

【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第卜六段Jonithoughtthatwouldbetheend.Butitwasn't.以及后文Steve取得的

成就可知在完成MelancholyFlower之前,他的妻子還沒完全意識到丈夫的音樂的真正價(jià)值，故選

Co本題也可以用排除法解題：根據(jù)第15段中（Joni在Steve創(chuàng)作過程中的支持和鼓勵(lì)）可以排除

A選項(xiàng)（認(rèn)為Steve的音樂天賦已然耗盡）;B選項(xiàng)（沒有預(yù)料到疾病會帶來的糟糕后果）是無中生有；

D選項(xiàng)（使丈夫的音樂生涯走向完美）是張冠李戴。

69.HowdidStevefeelattheconcertheldindowntownPortland?

A.Hefeltconcernedabouthisillness.B.Hesensedaresponsibilityfbrmusic.

C.Heregainedhisfaithinmusic.D.Hegotintoastateofquiet.

【答案】D

【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段Heknewthepathhislifewasnowtaking.Hetoldhisfamilyhewasat

peace.可知,他知道自己一生要選擇的路，告訴家人他很平靜，故可知,家鄉(xiāng)的音樂會讓他重新堅(jiān)定

了對音樂的信念，故選DeA選項(xiàng)（他很擔(dān)心自己的疾病）無中生有；B選項(xiàng)（他感受到了對音樂有

一份責(zé)任感）是過度推斷；D選項(xiàng)（他重拾了對音樂的信念）是在文章第14段有所提及，而不是在最

后的Portland音樂會上，所以是張冠李戴。

7O.Whatcanbeasuitabletitleforthepassage?

A.TheKindnessofFriendsB.ThePowerofMusic

C.TheMakingofaMusicianD.TheValueofDetermination

【答案】B

【解析】主旨大意題。本文主要講述一個(gè)鋼琴師幫助一個(gè)患老年癡呆癥的人錄制音樂的故事，其錄制過程

比較艱苦，但是錄制的音樂很成功，也讓老人對音樂充滿了信心。一句話：音樂是Steve和家人對

抗疾病的力量之源。故B項(xiàng)“音樂的力量”概括了全文內(nèi)容,是最佳標(biāo)題。其余三個(gè)選項(xiàng)（朋友的善

良/一個(gè)音樂家的誕生/決心的價(jià)值）都過于片面，不能很好地概況本文主旨大意

【語篇簡析】瀏覽一下就可以判斷本篇體裁為應(yīng)用文（廣告或旅游指南）。文章主要介紹了TheMetropolitan

MuseumofArt以及分館TheCloistersMuseumandGardens的相關(guān)情況。所測兩題都是細(xì)節(jié)理

解題，只要根據(jù)相關(guān)信息進(jìn)行解題。

56.Howmuchmaytheypayifan11-year-oldgirlandherworkingparentsvisitthemuseum?

A.$12.B.$37.C.$50.D.$62.

【答案】C

【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)admission部分“$25recommendedforadults,$12recommendedforstudents,free

forchildrenunder12withanadult（12歲以下的孩子在一名成人陪伴下免費(fèi)）''可知11歲的女孩和她

父母去參觀博物館只需付兩個(gè)成人的票價(jià)即25x2=50,故答案為Co

57.TheattractionoftheCloistersmuseumandgardensliesinthefactthat.

A.itopensalltheyearroundB.itscollectionsdatefromtheMiddleAges

C.ithasamodernEuropean-stylegardenD.itsellsexcellentEuropeanglasscollections

【答案】B

【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。本題可以用排除法輕松搞定答案。A選項(xiàng)問題出在“alltheyearround全年（最后一

行說感恩節(jié)、圣誕節(jié)和元旦節(jié)不開放）”（正誤參半）；C選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)在并不是一個(gè)公園，也不是現(xiàn)代歐洲

風(fēng)格的（顛倒是非）：D選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)在不賣藏品（無中生有）。根據(jù)TheCloistersMuseumandGardens部

分“theextensivecollectionconsistsofmasterworksinsculpture,coloredglass,andpreciousobjects

fromEuropedatingfromaboutthe9lhtothe15lhcenlury.廣泛的收臧品包括雕塑、彩色玻璃和珍貴

物品的杰作,這些藝術(shù)品來自歐洲，可追溯到9世紀(jì)至15世紀(jì)''可以得知,TheCloistersMuseumand

Gardens的吸引人的地方在于它的中古時(shí)期的收藏品，故選B。

B
