1.

根據文章第二段最后一句“Thestudentswillusetheactualcomputerprogramsanddatathatthescientistsuse!（學生們將使用科學家們使用的實際計算機程序和數據）”可知，參與該項目的學生將使用真實的科學數據。故選A。

2.

根據文章第三段中的“Theprogramaimstoimprovestudentachievement,andfuel(激發)theirdesiretogotocollegeandpursueacareerinscience,technology,engineering,ormathematics(STEM)inthefuture.（該項目旨在提高學生的成績，激發他們上大學的愿望，并在未來追求科學、技術、工程或數學(STEM)領域的職業生涯）”可知，該項目的主要目的是鼓勵進一步研究STEM。故選D。

3.

文章的最后“DatesfortheTeenAstronomyCafésnextcomingacademicyear(學年)are:”給出了下個學年這個項目的日期，根據所提供的日期，只有選項B在范圍之內。故選B。5~7.【答案】D、A、A【解析】【文章大意】本文主要解釋了一種發現：學習一門新語言的能力在18歲之前最強。

1.

根據第一段Theolderyouget,themoredifficultitistolearnanewlanguage.But...achievethegrammaticalfluencyofanativespeaker.（年齡越大，學習一門新語言就越困難。但沒有人確切知道什么是截止點，什么年齡的學習會變得更困難。在一項最大的研究中，波士頓大學的研究人員發現，孩子們在18歲之前都很擅長學習第二語言，比之前的想法晚了大約10年。但研究還表明如果你想達到母語者的語法流利程度，從10歲開始。）結合劃線詞所在的句子Tosolvethisproblem,theresearchteamcollecteddataonaperson'sage,languagelevelandtimestudyingEnglish.（為了解決這個問題，研究團隊收集了一個人的年齡、語言水平和學習英語的時間的數據。）可知劃線詞意思是“在什么時期人們可以學好一門新語言”。故選D。

2.

根據第四段At18,kidstypicallygraduatefromhighschoolandstartcollegeorentertheworkforcefull-time.Oncetheydo,theymaynolongerhavethetime,opportunitytostudyasecondlanguage.（18歲時，孩子通常從高中畢業，開始上大學或全職工作。一旦他們畢業，他們可能就沒有時間和機會學習第二語言。）可知人們的語言學習能力在18歲時下降是因為他們沒有良好的學習環境。故選A。

3.

閱讀全文以及根據最后一段AlthoughthestudywasconductedonlyinEnglish,theresearchersbelievethefindingswilltransfertootherlanguagesandtheyaredevelopingsimilartestsforSpanishandMandarin.（盡管這項研究僅用英語進行，但研究人員相信，這一發現將轉移到其他語言，他們正在開發類似的西班牙語和普通話測試。）可知本文主要解釋了一種發現：學習一門新語言的能力在18歲之前最強。故選A。8~11.【答案】B、B、C、A【解析】【文章大意】這是一篇夾敘夾議文。文章講述了長久以來，失敗被描繪成一種消極的東西，一種令人羞愧的東西，一種需要保守秘密的東西。但瑞典心理學家塞繆爾·韋斯特(SamuelWest)決定將我們最擔心的問題擺到桌面上。今年6月，他將在瑞典的赫爾辛堡開設一家博物館——失敗博物館。

1.

詞句猜測題。根據文章第二段“Insteadofshowingsuccesses,asmuseumsusuallydo,theMuseumofFailurewilldisplayover60“failed”productsfrombig-namecompaniessuchasNokia,AppleandCoca-Cola.（與博物館通常展示成功產品的做法不同，“失敗博物館”將展示60多件來自諾基亞、蘋果和可口可樂等知名公司的“失敗”產品。）”可推知，劃線詞所在句子““Ireallyhopeyouseethatthesemega-brandsthateverybodyrespects,theyscrewuptoo,”WesttoldTheNewYorkTimes.”意為“韋斯特在接受《紐約時報》采訪時表示:“我真的希望你能看到，這些人人尊敬的大品牌也會搞砸。””由此可知，screwup意為“搞成一團糟”。故選B。

2.

詞句猜測題。根據文章第二段““Ihopethatmakesyoufeellessnervousaboutlearningsomethingnew.”（“我希望這能讓你在學習新東西時不那么緊張。”）”和文章第三段“West’sopinionisn’tanewone.AlbertEinsteinoncesaid,“Apersonwhonevermadeamistakenevertriedanythingnew.”AndthisideahasbeenembracedbylotsofcompaniesintheUS.（韋斯特的觀點并不新鮮。阿爾伯特·愛因斯坦曾經說過:“一個從不犯錯的人，從來沒有嘗試過任何新鮮事物。”這個想法已經被很多美國公司所接受。）”可知，此處要表達的觀點是要接受失敗，并接受新的事物。“Failfast,failoften.”意為“接受失敗，嘗試新事物”。故選B。

3.

細節理解題。根據文章第五段“Butsomepeoplearedoubtfulofthisso-called“cultureoffailure”.Theyareworriedthatiffailurebecomesa“symbolofhonor”,as

Wired

magazineputit,itmayevenbeseenas“uncool”whensomeonetriestoreducetheriskoffailure.（但有些人對這種所謂的“失敗文化”表示懷疑。正如《連線》雜志所言，他們擔心，如果失敗成為“榮譽的象征”，那么試圖降低失敗風險的人甚至會被視為“不酷”。）”可知，Wired雜志對失敗的文化表示懷疑。故選C。

4.

推理判斷題。根據文章最后一段““Learningistheonlyprocessthatturnsfailureintosuccess.”Westsaid

TheGuardian.”Ifyoudon’tlearnfromyourfailures,thenyou’vereallyfailed.”（“學習是從失敗走向成功的唯一過程。”韋斯特說。如果你不從失敗中吸取教訓，那你就真的失敗了。”）”可推知，West認為失敗的價值在于從中吸取教訓。故選A。12~16.【答案】F、B、D、C、G【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇議論文。從三個方面就如何應對緊張焦慮提供一些建議。

1.

上文“Feelingslikethesecansurfacewhenyoufaceachallenge.(當你面臨挑戰時，像這樣的感受會浮現)”空格處是對面臨挑戰的進一步舉例說明。F選項中的“beforetakingexams”和“faceachallenge”一致。是對上文的進一步解釋說明。故選F。

2.

上文“Butpeoplewithagrowthmindsetknowtheycangetbetteratjustabouteverything—witheffortandpractice.(但是那些有成長思維方式的人知道他們可以做好一切，只要肯努力和練習)”B選項中的that指代上文的“cangetbetteratjustabouteverything—witheffortandpractice.”這一切事情也包括應對焦慮這件事。故選B。

3.

上文“Knowthatthesefeelingsarepartofthebody’snormalresponsetoachallenge.(知道那些感受是你的身體應對挑戰的正常反應。)”和D選項中的They前后一致，they指代上文的“thesefeelings”這些感受是正常反應是沒有害處的。故選D。

4.

下文“Instead,tellyourselfsomethingthatcouldhelpyoufacethemomentwithabitofcourage.It’sfacingtheanxietythathelpsyoumanageit.(反而要告訴你自己勇敢些能幫你面對這一瞬間.正是面對焦慮才能幫你應對它。)”此空為小標題。根據下文可知本段在表達要面對焦慮。C選項中的faceit和下文的要面對它保持一致。故選C。

5.

上文“Mostofall,ittakespracticeandwillingnesstofaceit.Itstartswithonesmallstep.(最重要的是，它需要練習以及愿意面對它。)”G選項的“Themoreyoupractice”練習的越多，越能戰勝焦慮，和上文保持一致。故選G。17~26.【答案】B、D、A、B、D、B、C、A、D、C【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇記敘文，講述了作者是如何在異國交到好朋友并且多年后重遇好友的。
