答案和解析

1~3.【答案】D、D、A

【解析】（1）細節理解題。根據PaintedDeSert,PetrifiedForestNationalPark,AZ中的ThiSiSfree

camping,wildcamping.（這是免費的，野外露營。）可知，石化森林國家公園露營地不收費。故

選D。

（2）細節理解題。根據WatChmanCamPgroUnd,ZionNationalPark,UT中的NOte,however,that

thiscampgroundisextremelypopular.ReservationsareabsolutelyrecommendedfromMarchthrough

November.（不過請注意，這個露營地非常受歡迎。從3月到11月絕對建議預訂。）可知，如果

你去守望者營地，你需要在旺季預訂場地。故選D。

（3）推理判斷題。根據文章標題BeStCamPgrOUndSinUs.NationalParks（美國國家公園最好的露

營地）及四個國家公園的介紹可知，這四個國家公園共同之處在于都是戶外帳篷營地。

A.C）UtdoortentCamPSiteS.戶外帳篷營地；B.EnOUghCamPingeqUiPment.足夠的露營裝備；

C.COnVenienttraffiCCOnditiOnS.便利的交通條件；D.EnVironmentaIWarningSignS.環境警告標志。

故選A0

本文是一篇應用文。文章主要介紹幾處美國國家公園最好的露營地。

一、速讀全文，了解大意知主題。閱讀能力一般指閱讀速度和理解能力兩個方面。閱讀速度是閱

讀最基本的能力，考生必須在十分有限的時間內運用略讀、掃讀、跳讀等技巧快速閱讀，搜尋關

鍵詞、主題句，捕捉時空、順序、情節、人物、觀點，并且理清文章脈絡，把握語篇實質。二、

看題干，帶著問題讀文章。首先要掌握問題的類型，客觀信息題可以從文章中直接找到答案；而

主觀判斷題考查的是對文章的感情基調等，這類題必須經過對作者的態度、意圖以及對整篇文章

進行深一層的推理等.其次，了解試題題干以及各個選項所包含的信息，然后有針對性地對文章

進行掃讀，對有關信息進行快速定位。此法加強了閱讀的針對性，提高了做題的準確率。三、邏

輯推理，做好深層理解題。在實際閱讀中，有時作者并未把意圖說出來，閱讀者要根據字面意思，

通過語篇邏輯關系，研究細節的暗示，推敲作者的態度，理解文章的寓義。要求讀者對文字的表

面信息進行分析、挖掘和邏輯推理，不能就事論事，以偏概全。推理題在提問中常用的詞有：infer,

imply,suggest,indicate等。四、猜詞悟義，掃除閱讀攔路虎。猜詞是應用英語的重要能力。它

不但需要準確無誤地理解上下文，而且要有較大的泛讀量，掌握或認識較多的課外詞匯。我們要

學會“順藤摸瓜”，通過構詞，語法，定義，同位，對比，因果，常識，上下文等線索確定詞義。

4?7.【答案】B、A、B、C

【解析】（I）細節理解題。根據第二段中HOWCanhemakethemStandfirm?Hebeginsbybalancing

fourcardstoformaboxwitharmsstickingout,whichformsagrid.Thenherepeatsthegridoverandover,

expandingoutward,tobuildasolidbase.Afterthat,Bryanlayscardsaroundtheedgeandthenacrossthe

toptomakethefloorforthenextstoryofthebuilding.（他怎能使他們站立得住呢？他首先平衡四張

卡片，形成一個盒子，手臂伸出來，形成一個網格。然后他一遍又一遍地重復網格，向外擴展，

以建立一個堅實的基礎。之后，布萊恩把卡片鋪在邊緣，然后鋪在頂部，為建筑的下一層鋪好地

板）可知，重復的網格是讓布萊恩的紙牌建筑屹立不倒的基礎。故選B項。

（2）段落大意題。根據第三段中Interestinglyenough,Bryandidnotgettheideafromanyofthe

physicalbooks.Instead,hediscoveredtheuniquewaytobuildsolidstructuresusingatrickfrom

nature.Thesecretisplantcells.Plantcellshavehardwallsandfittogethertightlytoformagridthathelps

leavesandstemstokeeptheirshape.Beesusethesamekindofpatterntocreatehoneycombs.Bryan

borrowedthisideatoinventrepeatinggridsofcardCellS.（有趣的是，布萊恩并沒有從任何一本實體

書中得到這個想法。相反，他發現了利用大自然的技巧建造堅固結構的獨特方法。秘密在于植物

細胞。植物細胞有堅硬的細胞壁，緊密地結合在一起形成網格，幫助葉子和莖保持形狀。蜜蜂用

同樣的模式來建造蜂巢。布萊恩借鑒了這個想法，發明了重復的紙牌單元格）可知，本段主要講

述了布萊恩搭建穩固結構靈感的來源。A.ThesourceofBryan,sinspiration.布萊恩的靈感來源；

B.Bryan'sspecificbuildingProCeSS.布萊恩的具體建造過程；

C.Bryan'scomprehensiveknowledgeOfbiOIogy.布萊恩全面的生物學知識；

D.Thesimilaritybetweenplantcellsandhoneycombs.植物細胞和蜂巢的相似性。故選A項。

（3）推理判斷題。根據第四段中OUtofcuriosity,peoplewhocometoseethecardbuildingssometimes

pushandpoketoseeiftheyhaveclipsinside,butfindtheydon't!Once,whenBryanbuiltacardcastleat

DisneyWorld,birdskepttryingtolandonil.Asquirrelmanagedtotakedownonewallanddidplentyof

damageinside.But,amazingly,thecastledidn,tcollapse.（出于好奇，來參觀卡牌建筑的人有時會

推推揉揉，看看里面是否有夾子，但發現沒有!有一次，布萊恩在迪士尼世界搭了一個紙牌城堡，

鳥兒們一直想降落在上面。一只松鼠成功地推倒了一面墻，并在里面造成了很大的破壞。但令人

驚訝的是，城堡并沒有倒塌）可推知，本段提到迪士尼紙牌城堡是為了證明布萊恩牌的力量是有

效的。故選B項。

（4）推理判斷題。根據最后一段中Ialsoleamalotfromtakingthemapart—thedestructionshowsme

wheretheweakpointsare.Thatiswhatmynextstrongerbuildingsreallyneed.（我也從拆卸它彳門中學至∣J

了很多東西——破壞告訴我弱點在哪里。這是我的下一個更堅固的建筑真正需要的）可知，布萊

恩學到了自己不足的地方，然后下次改進。由此推知，布萊恩在最后一段表達的人生哲學是：一

個人只有超越自我，才能完善自己。故選C項。

本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了建筑師布萊恩?伯格如何搭建穩固的卡片建筑，以及建筑給他

的感悟。

8~11.【答案】CxBxAsC

【解析】（1）推理判斷題。根據第一段ItlSsomethingthattheAmericansingerTaylorSwiftdoesagood

jobofmakingherFrenchsoundrealisticinfrontoffansduringhertours."Aforeignaccentisapieceof

cakeforthesingers."saysSusanneReilerer,anurolinguisticsresearcheratViennaUniversity.（美國

歌手泰勒?斯威夫特在巡演期間就擅長在歌迷面前使她的法語聽起來逼真。"外國口音對歌手來說

是小菜一碟。“維也納大學的神經語言學研究員蘇珊娜?韋勒說。）可知，在第一段中，作者想告

訴我們泰勒?斯威夫特模仿語言的能力。故選C。

（2）詞句猜測題。根據劃線詞后半句thenyouhavemorepowerbasicallyinyourhearingareas.（那

么你的聽覺區域就會更強大。）可知，如果一個人在音樂方面有很強的傾向，那么其聽覺區域就

會更強大。所以predisposition為"傾向；條件”之意。A.Interest.興趣；B.ConditiOn.條件；C.Training.

訓練；D.KnOWledge.知識O故選Bo
