artificialintelligence(AI)Dearfellowstudents,_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

答案以及解析一、1.答案：B解析：推理判斷題。由此篇文章HaroldC.Casescholarship部分中的關鍵句"Fundscanonlybeappliedtoundergraduatestudy.(資金只能用于本科學習。)"和DeanElsbethMelvillescholarship部分中的關鍵句"Fundscanonlybeappliedtoundergraduatestudy.(資金只能用于本科學習。)"可知這2個資源資助的對象僅僅是本科學習階段。故選B。2.答案：B解析：細節理解題。由此篇文章ClareBootheLuceundergraduatescholarships部分的內容"TheClareBootheLuceprogramoftheHenryLuceFoundationsupportsalimitednumberofUndergraduateScholarshipsforwomenstudentsinthefieldsofthephysicalandlifesciences,mathematics,engineering,andcomputerscience.(HenryLuce基金會的ClareBootheLuce計劃為物理和生命科學、數學、工程和計算機科學領域的女學生提供有限數量的本科獎學金。)"可知這項獎學金可以為學習工程學的女生提供。故選B。3.答案：A解析：細節理解題。由此篇文章Provost'sscholarsaward部分中的關鍵句"Upto20awardsaregivenperyear,eachcarrying$1000offundingforresearch/creativeactivityexpensessuchastraveltoconferencesandarchives(檔案館)orforresearch-relatedequipmentandsupplies.(每年頒發多達20個獎項,每個獎項都有1000美元的資金用于研究/創意活動開支，如會議和檔案館的差旅或用于研究相關設備和用品。)"可知這個獎項給獲獎者的獎金可以用來買研究相關設備和用品。故選A。二、答案：C解析：主旨大意題。由文章第二段中"Peoplewithhearinglossmayfeelhearingaidsaremeantonlyforolderpeople.Theycanfeelasenseofembarrassment,ageingandlackofconfidencewhenwearingthem.Besides,somepeoplehavenoconfidenceinhearingaidsandbelievetheywillnothelp,orwillevenmaketheirhearingworse.Individualssometimesbelievetheywillbedependentontheirhearingaids,thuschoosingnottousethemoutofdesireforindependence.(有聽力損失的人可能覺得助聽器只適合老年人使用。他們在佩戴助聽器時可能會感到尷尬、覺得自己變老了，并且缺乏自信。此外，有些人對助聽器沒有信心，認為它們不會起到幫助作用，甚至會使聽力變得更差。有些人則認為他們會依賴助聽器，因此出于對獨立的渴望而選擇不使用它們。)"可知，本段主要講述了為什么有些人避免使用助聽器。故選C。答案：B解析：細節理解題。由文章第三段中"IntheUK,patientswithhearinglosscanobtainhearingaidsfreeofchargethroughNationalHealthService(NHS).However,thechoiceofstyle,manufacturerandleveloftechnologymaybelimitedandcanalsoinvolvelengthywaitinglists.(在英國，有聽力損失的患者可以通過國民保健服務(NHS)免費獲得助聽器。然而，助聽器的款式、制造商和技術水平的選擇可能有限，而且可能需要等待很長時間。)"可知，通過國民保健服務(NHS)獲得助聽器可能需要等待很長時間。故選B。答案：C解析：細節理解題。由文章第四段中"Thehearingaidselectionisdiscussedwitheachindividualattheirhearingassessment，andthecorrecthearingaidsareselectedaccordingtotheirlevelofhearingloss.(在聽力評估時，會與每個人討論助聽器的選擇，并根據他們的聽力損失程度選擇合適的助聽器。)"可知，在選擇助聽器的過程中，主要考慮的是個人的具體聽力損失。故選C。答案：D解析：細節理解題。由文章最后一段中"Alloftheadvancementsintechnologyinthefuturemeanthefunctionalityandcomfortofhearingaidswillgreatlyincrease,considerablyimprovingthequalityoflifeformorepeoplewithhearingloss.(未來技術的所有進步都意味著助聽器的功能和舒適度將大大提高，從而顯著改善更多聽力損失者的生活質量。)"可知，未來助聽器將會為用戶提供高質量和更好的服務。故選D。三、1．答案：B解析：詞句猜測題。由第一段中"Butaccordingtoarecentstudy,itisbettertosubmitagood-enoughprojectontimeratherthanperfectingitthroughprocrastination.(但根據最近的一項研究，最好按時提交一個足夠好的項目，而不是通過procrastination來完善它)"可知procrastination與"按時"形成對比，再結合第三段中"Respondentswhoweretolditwaslateconsistentlyratedtheworkasworseinqualitythanthosewhoweretoldthesameworkwasearlyorontime.(參與者被告知作品是延遲提交的，其質量會比按時或提前提交的相同作品更差)"講延遲提交的負面影響。由此猜測，劃線詞procrastination應指"拖延(Delay)"。故選B。2.答案：D解析：細節理解題。由第三段中"Respondentswhoweretolditwaslateconsistentlyratedtheworkasworseinqualitythanthosewhoweretoldthesameworkwasearlyorontime.(參與者被告知作品是延遲提交的,其質量會比按時或提前提交的相同作品更差)"和"Furthermore,itdidn'tmatterhowlatetheworkwassubmitted,withonedayoroneweekdelaysviewedjustasnegatively(此外，提交作品的時間有多晚并不重要，一天或一周的延遲被視為負面的)"可知，若參與者被告知作品是延遲提交的，其評價會比按時或提前提交的相同作品更差，此外，無論延遲多久(一天或一周)，評價都同樣負面。由此可知，遲交的作品比按時提交的作品受到更負面的評價。故選D。3.答案：D解析：推理判斷題。由第四段中"Eventhoughthekidsweretoldtoignoreallotherdetailsonthepaperotherthantheartitself,theversionsubmittedafterthedeadlinereceivedlowergrades.Thatstudymakesthebroaderpointthatitdoesn'treallymatterwhosetthedeadline.(盡管孩子們被告知要忽略論文中除藝術本身之外的所有其他細節，但截止日期后提交的版本得分較低。這項研究提出了更廣泛的觀點，即誰設定最后期限并不重要)"可知，在中國高中的實驗中，學生被要求僅根據藝術作品本身評分，但延遲提交的作品仍被評分更低，這說明即使在不同年齡(學生)和文化(中國)背景下，研究結論(延遲提交導致負面評價)依然成立。故選D。4.答案：C解析：推理判斷題。由最后一段中"Ifitwasduetoforcesbeyondanemployee'scontrol,evaluatorsdidn'tendupwithasnegativeaviewoftheworkastheydidwhenthereasonwasonewithintheircontrol."Ifthereasonwhyyoumissedthedeadlinewasbeyondyourcontrol,youastheemployeeshouldletyourmanagerknow,"Magliosays.(如果這是由于員工無法控制的因素造成的，那么評估人員最終對工作的看法就不會像在他們可以控制的情況下那樣消極。馬格里奧說："如果你錯過截止日期的原因超出了你的控制范圍，作為員工，你應該讓你的經理知道。")"可知，若延遲是因不可控因素(如外部原因)，評價不會像可控因素(如拖延)那樣負面，研究者建議員工應及時告知管理者原因，這說明圍繞截止日期的溝通至關重要。故選C。四、答案：B解析：細節理解題。根據第三段"Aftermorethanhalfacenturyofforestplantation,peoplewhohavecometoSaihanbacanhardlyimaginethearid(干旱)scene.Occasionally,agustofwindpassesby,andtheywouldjustsighandshouthowstrongthewindis,buttheywouldnotfeelsandblasted(噴砂).(經過半個多世紀的森林種植，來到塞罕壩的人幾乎無法想象那里干旱的景象。偶爾，一陣風吹過，他們只是嘆息，喊著風有多大，卻不覺得被噴沙了)。"可知，沙漠化已被控制。故選B。答案：D解析：細節理解題。根據第五段"Onlybyenjoyinglonelinesscantheykeepthisforestsafeandsound.(只有享受孤獨，他們才能守護森林。)"可知，護林員長期駐守瞭望塔，忍受孤獨，體現了他們孤獨但盡責。故選D。答案：C解析：詞義猜測題。根據最后一段劃線詞后文"Onlyinthiswaycanthenutrientareabeexpandedanddiseasedplantsalsoberemovedtoensurethehealthydevelopmentoftheforestareas.(只有這樣，才能擴大營養面積，也才能清除病株，保證林區的健康發展。)"可知，這種方式可以清除病死的苗木，使樹苗數量減少，由此可以推斷"thinning"指減少樹木的數量，選項C"Makingsomethinglessthickordense.(降低某物的厚度或密度。)"，與"減少數量"含義接近。故選C。答案：D解析：主旨大意題。根據首段"FromBeijing,morethan400kilometersaway,allthewayupnorth,thetemperaturegraduallydrops.(從北京向北400多公里，氣溫逐漸降低。隨著防火預警的發布，被譽為"人間奇跡"的塞罕壩映入眼簾。)"及最后一段"Saihanbatodayisnotonlya"greenGreatWall"forwindbreakandsandfixation(固化),butalsoatimber(林木)source.(如今的塞罕壩不僅是防風固沙的"綠色長城"，也是重要的林木來源。)"可知，塞罕壩通過植樹造林和護林員努力，從沙漠變為生態屏障，這里指護林員和森林都是綠色守護者。選項D"TheGreenGuardian(綠色衛士)"即可以指森林，也可以指護林員，一語雙關，適合做標題。故選D。五、答案：D；C；B；E；G解析：①根據上文"Socialmediaisonewaytostrengthencommunicationskills,createhighlevelsofengagement,explorethepossibilitiesoffriendlylearningenvironments,andenjoypositiveeffectsontheteachingandlearningprocess.(社交媒體是加強溝通技巧、創造高水平參與、探索友好學習環境的可能性、并在教學過程中享受積極影響的一種方式。)"可知，社交媒體有很多好處，結合下文介紹一些使用社交媒體的方面，可知D項"下面是一些使用社交媒體的方面"符合語境，承上啟下。故選D。②根據下文"Theyshareinformation,communicateideas,andcreatevideostoextendandenhancetheirlearning.Designinglessonsthataskstudentstousesocialmediatosolveproblems,completeprojects,andcommunicateideas,buildsconfidence,generatesenthusiasm,anddevelopsasenseofplayinthelearningprocess.(他們分享信息，交流想法，制作視頻來擴展和提高他們的學習。設計要求學生使用社交媒體來解決問題的課程，完成項目，交流想法，建立信心，產生熱情，并在學習過程中培養游戲感。)"可知，社交媒體可以在很多方面給學生以幫助。C項"社交媒體工具在很多方面幫助學生"符合語境，下文是對選項的具體說明。故選C。③空處為本段主旨句。根據下文"Humansarenaturallysocialanimals.Socialmediaisagoodtoolforcommunicationandsharinginformation.Itespeciallyprovidesanexcitingplaygroundinwhichtodeveloplearningenvironmentsthatcancreaterichlearningexperiencesforstudents.(人類天生是群居動物。社交媒體是溝通和分享信息的好工具。它提供了一個令人興奮的學習環境，為學生創造豐富的學習體驗。)"可知，本段主要提出社交媒體為學生創造一個合作的學習環境。B項"創造合作學習環境"能夠概括本段主旨，可以作為本段主旨句，引領下文。故選B。④上文"Itespeciallyprovidesanexcitingplaygroundinwhichtodeveloplearningenvironmentsthatcancreaterichlearningexperiencesforstudents.(它提供了一個令人興奮的學習環境，為學生創造豐富的學習體驗。)"指出，社交媒體為學生提供令人興奮的學習環境，創造豐富的學習體驗；下文"Itprovidesstudentswithoptionsforcreatingauthentic,creativeproductsthroughtoolssuchasblogs,YouTubeorVinevideos.(它為學生提供了通過博客、YouTube或Vine視頻等工具創造真實、有創意的產品的選擇。)"指出學生可以通過社交媒體工具創建真實、有創意的產品；E項"教育工作者可以利用社交媒體來培養學生的創造力"承上啟下，符合語境，選項中的creativity呼應上文create，下文creating和creative。故選E。⑤根據下文"Studentswhousesocialmediaalongsidetheircourseworkshowimprovedgradeswhencomparedwithnon-connectedclassmates.(與不使用社交媒體的同學相比，在學習功課的同時使用社交媒體的學生成績有所提高。)"可知，社交媒體能對學習效果產生積極影響。G項"研究表明，社交媒體對學習成果有積極影響"符合題意。故選G。六、1.答案：C解析：考查動詞短語辨析。句意：多年來，我們一直隨身攜帶一張圖表，安德魯用它來交流。A.takenup占用；B.workedout計算出；C.carriedaround攜帶；D.putaway收起。根據下文"Andrewalsousesatext-to-voiceapponaniPadthatconveyshis

3.Thoughfarfrom

4

ithelps,thesetoolsofferhimthesimplest,quickestwaytocommunicate."可知，安德魯需要使用各種工具幫助交流，可推測圖表是需要隨身攜帶的。故選C項。2.答案：D解析：考查形容詞詞義辨析。句意：這張圖表已經受損并且壞掉。A.brilliant聰穎的；B.shining閃亮的；C.plain樸素的；D.awful很壞的。根據下文"Ithasbeenlost,foundandrebuilt."可知，這個圖表經歷了丟失、被找到并且重建，推測它已經受損并且壞了。故選D。3.答案：A解析：考查名詞短語辨析。句意：安德魯還在iPad上
