參考答案

1.答案：D

解析：根據(jù)第一本書的介紹中的"itisaprettyinterestingbook...whetheryou'regoingto

playonyourownorchallengefriendsandfamilytoseewhocansolvethepuzzlefirst”可

知，這本書中的填字游戲可以自己玩，也可以和家人朋友一起玩。

2.答案：C

解析：理解具體信息題。根據(jù)題干可將解題信息定位至TheOrdnanceSurveyKids'

AdventureBook部分。根據(jù)該部分中的"Itteachesyouhowtoreadamaplikeanexpert...

withahostofmap-readingpuzzles"可知，通過第二本書孩子們可以學到一些使用地圖的

能力，故C項正確。

3.答案：B

解析：根據(jù)第三本書介紹中的"drawaself-portrait（自畫像）"、第四本書介紹中的

"recordwhatyouseethroughdrawljn^',這兩本書都為讀者提供了繪畫的機會。

4.答案：B

解析：理解具體信息題。根據(jù)第一段中的"Forme,thedegreemostlyservedasameansto

anend,securingmoreinterestingandhigher-paidpositions"可知，對作者來說，攻讀博士

學位是為了達到一個目的一找到更有趣、更高薪的職位，故選B項。

5.答案：A

解析：根據(jù)第二段中的"butovertimefeltfullofdisappointment...yetIstruggledtosee

howitwouldmakeanimpactonthewiderrealworld"可知，作者進行的純學術研究在智

力上很有趣，但他很難看到它會如何對更廣泛的現(xiàn)實世界產(chǎn)生影響。

6.答案：D

解析：理解詞匯題。畫線詞下文提到作者于2020年開始項目，當時會議是線上的，并

且不鼓勵面對面接觸，所以作者很少有機會與同事建立個人聯(lián)系。研究成為他唯一的

關注點，當他對此的興趣消退時，他的項目令人感到沮喪。這是作者在項目上遇到的

困難。再結(jié)合上一段提到的作者對項目感到失望可知，畫線詞所在句應表示意料之外

的事加大了他的苦惱。畫線詞所在句總結(jié)了第三段的內(nèi)容，下文是對Someunexpected

things”的解釋說明。D項意為"增長，增加，增進，增強"，可解釋畫線詞意思。

7.答案：C

解析：根據(jù)最后一段中的“ThingsIdidcouldmatterandenergizemeafterall一ifIchose

wisely.ThatwasexactlywhatIneededanddesired""mycharityexperiencehasgivenme

direction”可知,作者在慈善機構(gòu)的工作幫他找到了生活的目標，即只要明智地選擇，自

己所做的事就會很重要，并且能使自己充滿活力。

8.答案：C

解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Lookcloselyatthethreeboats,andyoucansee

howthesegetlighterinthetone,whichisthewayaerialperspectiveworks.Thelighter

boatsappeartobefurtherawayfromusthanthedarkestone.（仔細觀察這三艘船，你可

以看到它們是如何在色調(diào)上變淺的，這就是空間透視法的工作方式。淺色的船似乎比顏色

最深的船離我們更遠。廠可知，三艘船的不同色調(diào)給這幅畫增添了深度。故選C。

9.答案：B

解析：詞句猜測題。句中的“Thelabel”指的是上文Leroy在評論莫奈畫作時用到的

“Impresonists”一詞，即給莫奈貼上了“印象派畫家”的標簽；stick本意為哪貼；固定住"，字

面意思就是這個標簽固定了，在語境下，也就是說從那以后人們都用“印象派''這一名字了。

故選B。

10.答案：C

解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中的“LouisLeroy,anartcritic（評論家）,inhisreviewof

theexhibitionusedthetitleofMonet'spaintingastheheadline,callingitthe6Exhibition

ofImpressionists\Leroyhadmeantitironically（反諷地）astheterm'impression'was

usedtodescribearapidlyfinishedpaintingofanatmosphericeffect,andartists

rarely,ifever,exhibitedpicturessoquicklysketched.［藝術評論家LouisLeroy在評論展覽時

用了莫奈的畫作作為標題，稱其為，印象派的展覽，。Leroy的意思是帶有諷刺意味的，因

為，印象，這個詞是用來形容一幅快速完成的、營造氛圍效果的畫作，而藝術家們很少（如果

有的話）展出這樣的速寫畫。「可知，Leroy是第一個使用“Impressionists”這個詞的人。故選

Co

11.答案：A

解析：主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段"Monetgetshisplaceinthearttimelinebecauseofhis

leadingroleintheimpresionistartmovement,andthroughthelastingappealofhis

artisticstyle.ThepaintinghetitledImpression:Sunrise,doneearlyinhiscareer,maynot

seemoneofMonetsbestpaintings,butthebigdealaboutitisthatitwasthepaintingthat

gaveimpressionismitsname.（由于他在印象派藝術運動中的領導作用，以及他的藝術風格

的持久吸引力，莫奈在藝術史上占有一席之地。莫奈早期創(chuàng)作的這幅名為《印象：日出》

的畫作，似乎不是他最好的畫作之一，但重要的是，正是這幅畫讓印象派得名。『以及縱觀全

文可知，本文主要講述了莫奈的名畫《印象：日出》以及它對印象主義藝術流派的影響。故

選A

12.答案：A

解析：詞義猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞后的Umstypicallyoccurrightbeforemoredifficultor

low-frequencywords（Ums通常出現(xiàn)在更難或低頻的單詞之

前）以及下文例子"Couldyouhandmethe...um...^^Whatwouldyouassumetheywant?（"你

能把…..嗯.…遞給我嗎?”你認為他們想要什么?）可知，"嗯"（不流暢表達中的一種）一般

出現(xiàn)在比較難或不太經(jīng)常使用的詞匯前。由此可推測，不流暢表達在句子中出現(xiàn)的位

置不是隨意的，而是有規(guī)律可循的。故random"隨意的，任意的，隨機的"可解釋劃

線詞意思。A.Random任意的，隨機的;B.Strategic有策略的;C.Obvious明顯

的;D.Consistent相一致的。故選A。

13.答案：D

解析：細節(jié)理解題。文章第三段講到這可能是因為聽眾認為，非母語人士可能很難想

出英語單詞來表示一個常見的物體，比如一把刀，也很難想出不尋常的物體，而且無

法猜測他們的意圖。可知，作者認為非母語者的不流暢之處很難預測到。故沏。

14.答案：B

解析：細節(jié)理解題。文章第四段講到然而，隨著時間的推移，他們獲得了這種非典型

的不流暢分布的經(jīng)驗，聽眾開始表現(xiàn)出相反的預測行為:當聽到演講者說嗯時，他們傾

向于看簡單的物體。可知，第四段中的實驗顯示的是聽眾可以相應地調(diào)整預測。故選

Bo

15.答案：D

解析：標題歸納題。本文介紹了聽者不喜歡不流暢的表達。說話遲緩且話中有大量的

“嗯”和停頓的人通常被認為不那么有魅力。但科學研究發(fā)現(xiàn)不流暢傳達的信息比人們

認為的要多。文章第一段但科學告訴我們，不流暢可能還有更多。以及最后一段講到

這些發(fā)現(xiàn)進一步證明了人腦是一臺預測機器:我們不斷地試圖預測接下來會發(fā)生什么。

可知，故D項，不流暢傳達的信息比你認為的要多。可以作為本文標題。故選D。

16.答案：GCDAE

解析：①空格前說"Everyoneisfacedwithproblemsatsomepointortheother.（每個人都

會在某個時間點面臨問題）”，空格后說“Theproblems,however,becomedifferentwhen

paststrategiesdonotworkandthereisnoobvioussolution.（然而當過去的策略不起作用、

沒有明顯的解決方案時，問題就會變得不同）”，因此空格處應說到人們可能會用過去

的一些方法去解決問題，G選項“Manyproblemscanbesolvedbyusingmethodswe

mighthaveusedbefore.（許多問題可以用矗們以前可能用過的方法案解決）”說明了人們

會用過去的一些方法去解決問題，因此G選項承上啟下，符合語境，故選G。

②空處位于段末應承接上文。空格前說'Theycontinuethinkingeverythingwilldisappear

onitsown,sotheyfailtoseektimelyhelp.Thisdoesnothelpthesituationinanyway.（他們

繼續(xù)認為一切都會自行消失，所以他們沒有及時尋求幫助。這對形勢沒有任何幫

助）“，空格處將繼續(xù)評論這種做法，C選項“instead,itcanmaketheproblembiggerthan

before.（相反，它會使問題變得比以前更大）“對這種做法繼續(xù)進行評論，因此C選項承

接上文，符合語境。故選C

③空格前說“Keepingadailyjournalisthebestwaytosolvedeeperproblemsthatmaybe

affectingyourpeaceofmind.（每天寫日記是解決可能影響你內(nèi)心平靜的深層次問題的最

好方法）“，空格后說“Sometimes,justbywritingdownissues,youmightgettoseethata

problemisn'tasbigasyouarethinking.（有時候，僅僅通過寫下問題，你可能會發(fā)現(xiàn)問題

并不像你想的那么,‘

大）“，因此空格處也應講‘‘寫”方面的事情，D選項“Sowritedownalltheproblemsyou

arefacingrightnow.（所以寫下你現(xiàn)在面臨的所有問題）“講的是寫下問題，和空格前內(nèi)

容相呼應因此D選項承上啟下，符合語境，故選D。

④空格處是本段的主題句，由空格后的"Often,tosolveaproblem,youneedtotestyour

limits.Youmayhavetotakeoncertainchallengesincludinglearningsomethingnewto

improveyourself.（通常，為了解決一個問題，你需要測試你的極限。你可能需要接受一

些挑戰(zhàn)，包括學習一些新的東西來提高自己）“可知，本段主要講的是要挑戰(zhàn)自己，A

選項“Challengeyourself挑戰(zhàn)自己）”概括本段內(nèi)容，可作為主題句，故選A。

⑤本段主題句是“Seekhelp.（尋求幫助）“，空格后說“Ifyouarestillunabletosolvethe

issuedespitegivingitmuchthoughtandattention,seekhelpfromfriends,colleagues,family

orevenprofessionals^如果你花了很多心思和精力還是無法解決問題，那就向朋友、自

事、家人甚至專業(yè)人士尋求幫助）”，因此空格處應說有的問題是靠自己解決不了的，E

選項“Sometimes,certainproblemscan'tbesolvedonyourown.（有時候:有些問題不能靠你
