【語篇解讀】

這是一篇應用文。文章主要介紹了四個特色的英國旅行行程，包括行程時間和旅行安排等。

21.B【解析】細節理解題。根據BuckinghamPalaceTour部分中“Watchingthetraditionalchanging

oftheguardceremonyatBuckinghamPalaceisamustwheninLondon,andonthis4.5-hour

you'llgettoexperiencethisevent,aswellasothertypicalBritishtraditions.（在倫敦，觀看白金

漢宮傳統的衛兵換崗儀式是必須的，在這4.5個小時里，你將體驗到這一事件，以及其他

典型的英國傳統）ThamesRiverSightseeingCruise部分中“Boardawindow-linedvesselfor

放自行車和頭盔，然后在導游的解說下，悠閑地騎行穿過威斯敏斯特，前往議會大廈、威

斯敏斯特大教堂和大本鐘，接著是繁忙的特拉法加廣場）”以及WindsorCastle,Stonehenge

andOxfordDayTrip部分中“Thefull-daytourdepartsfromLondoninanair-conditionedbus,

spansaboutninehoursandincludesthreeofEngland'sarchitecturalgems.（——整天的旅行從倫

SightseeingCruise行程最短。故選B。

22.D【解析】細節理解題。根據WindsorCastle,StonehengeandOxfordDayTrip部分中“Ifyou，re

interestedinexploringsomeoftheworld-famousattractionsoutsideofLondon,consider

bookingtheWindsorCastle,StonehengeandOxfordDayTrip.（如果你對探索倫敦以外的世界

著名景點感興趣，可以考慮預訂溫莎城堡、巨石陣和牛津—日游）''可知，除了WindsorCastle,

StonehengeandOxfordDayTrip,上述行程均在倫敦°故選D0

23.B【解析】細節理解題。根據WindsorCastle,StonehengeandOxfordDayTrip部分中“Thefirst

stopistheQueen'sofficialresidence:WindsorCastleforaudiotoursandachancetoseethe

changingoftheguardfollowedbefreetimetoexplorethestreetsofWindsor.（第——站是女王的

【語篇解讀】

這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了科學的定義和年輕人對科學教育的一些認知誤區，以及作

者認為最好的教科學的方法。

24.D【解析】細節理解題。根據第二段中“AHtoooften,youngpeoplegettheimpressionthatscience

isaboutlearningcertain"laws"andthenapplyingthemtodifferentsituations.Afterall,thafs

whatwemakethemdoontests,toshowthatthey*vebeendoingthework.Butthat'snotitatall.

（年輕人時常認為科學就是學習某些特定的“法則”,然后把它們應用到不同的情況下。畢竟,

這是我們讓他們在考試中做的，以表明他們一直在努力。但事實并非如此）“可知，年輕人

的認知誤區是認為教科學就是教法則和驗證法則，故選Do

25,C［解析］細節理解題。根據第四段Tfstudentshadtobuildtheirownmodelsfromthegroundup,

itwouldbeliketryingtolearnprogrammingbyinventingcomputers.AsIsaacNewtonis

supposedtohavesaid,westandontheshouldersofgiants.Wemusttakemodelsbuiltbyothers

andgofromthere.（如果學生必須從頭開始建立自己的模型，這就像試圖通過發明計算機來

學習編程一樣。正如IsaacNewton所說，我們站在巨人的肩膀上。我們必須借鑒別人建立

的模式，并以此為基礎）”可知，作者認為讓學生自己創建模型是件很難的事情，借鑒前人

已經建立的模型讓學生一步步接觸、學習并效仿才是最好的方法。故選C。

26.D【解析】推理判斷題。根據第四段“Ofcourse,wecan'tstartfromscratch.（我們當然不能從頭

開始）”以及"Wcmusttakemodelsbuiltbyothersandgofromthere.（我們必須借鑒前人已經建

立的模型并且從他們那里開始）''可知，作者反對讓學生平地筑高樓的方法,認為難度過大。

而作者認為最好的方式是借鑒前人，從前人的經驗出發進行科研。牛頓的話意思是：我們

站在巨人的肩膀上，即我們擁有很多可以參考的前人的經驗和結論、理論模型能夠用來借

鑒。可推知，作者引用牛頓的話是為了佐證自己的觀點。故選D。

27.A【解析】主旨大意題。根據第一段“NOONEEVERsaidscienceeducationwaseasy.Certainly

theconceptsweteach,likeconservationofmomentumorquantummechanics,canbehardto

grasp.Butwhatreallycomplicatestheattemptisthatwe'realsotryingtoteachadeeperlesson

atthesametime—tohelpstudentsunderstandthenatureofscienceitself.（從來沒有人說過科

學教育是容易的。當然，我們教的概念，如動量守恒或量子力學，可能很難掌握。但真

正讓我們的嘗試復雜化的是，我們同時也在試圖教授更深刻的知識——幫助學生理解科學

本身的本質）“結合文章主要介紹了科學的定義和年輕人對科學教育的一些認知誤區，以及

作者認為最好的教科學的方法。故A選項“教科學的最好方法”最符合文章標題。故選A。

【語篇解讀】

這是一篇說明文。文章主要敘述了亞馬遜對智能家居的未來愿景，以及描述了智能家居的設

備作用。

28.C【解析】細節理解題。根據文章第二段“AtruesmarthomedoesnTjuslreactlocommands,it

canforeseewhatwillhappenandtakeactionaccordingly.^（一個真正的智能家居不僅僅是對

命令作出反應，它可以預見將會發生什么并且有依據的采取措施）可知，Asmarthome是

積極的并且可預測的。故選C。

29.C【解析】推理判斷題。根據文章第三段“TheupdatedEchosmartspeakerlinethatwasrecently

displayeddoesn'tjusthaveashowynewlook,itcomeswithasuitoftechtokeepeverything

connected."（最近顯示更新的Echo智能揚聲器不僅具有顯眼的新外觀，還配備了一套技術

來保持所有連接）可知，它有一個吸引人的新外表，選項C與文意一致，故選C。

30C［解析］.細節理解題。根據文章倒數第二段“theAlwaysHomeCamisadronewithacamera.It

risesupfromitsdockingstationandfliesonpre-setpaths.Ifasecurityeventisdetected,itwill

sendwarningstoyourphone."（這個機器人是一個帶相機的無人機，它從對接站升起，按照

預先設定的路線飛行。如果檢測到安全事件，它會向你的手機發送警告）可知，它能夠拍

照、發送消息以及偵測安全，但不能給警察打電話。故選C。

31.D【解析】主旨大意題。根據文章開頭“Don'tyouwanttotalklessandsmilemore?Thatseemstobe
