【答案】l.C2.D3.B

【解析】

【分析】本文是一篇說明文。文章講述我們都渴望友誼，但如何交朋友呢？本文給出了一些可行的建議。

【1題詳解】

推理判斷題。依據(jù)第一段JoySteven的話“Thebesttimetomakeafriendisbeforeyouneedone.交朋友的最

好時間是你需要朋友以前?！保簿褪钦f當你需要一個朋友的時候再去交就晚了。故選C。

【2題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章中關(guān)于交朋友建議的描述“Friendsunderstandeachotherwhentalking.Touchingisa

warmformofcommunicationbetweenfriends.Praiseisapowerfultooltomakeafriend.（朋友在交談時能互相

理解。聯(lián)系是朋友之間溝通的一種形式。贊美是結(jié)交朋友的有力工具。）"A.getintouchwithpeople和人

取得聯(lián)系；B.understandyourfriends理解你的朋友；C.praiseyourfriends稱贊你的朋友；D.quarrelwith

yourfriends和你的朋友爭吵。根據(jù)文章和常識：你要想交很多朋友A、B、C三項要具備。朋友之間的爭

吵是不可避免的，但未必是必須的。更為重要的是，D項在文中找不到依據(jù)。故選D

【3題詳解】

主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段“Wealllongforfriendship,buthowtomakeafriend?"Thebesttimetomakea

friendisbeforeyouneedone.^^JoyStevensaid.Thefollowingaresometipsforyou.(我們都渴望友誼，但如

何交朋友呢？“交朋友最好的時間是在你需要朋友之前。”史蒂文說。以下是給你的一些建議。)”可知

文章的主題是針對如何交朋友給出一些建議。A.howtocommunicatewithafriend怎樣和一個朋友交流；

B.howtodevelopfriendship怎樣發(fā)展友誼；C.whentomakeafriend什么時候交朋友；howtopraiseafriend

怎樣稱贊一個朋友。雖然A、C、D項在文中都提到了，但屬于枝節(jié)信息，而B項是文章談?wù)摰闹髦?，?/p>

合文章的大意，故選B。

【答案】4.A5,B6.A7.A

【解析】

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章分析了現(xiàn)代人不能進行有效閱讀的原因并提出了解決辦法。

【4題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的句子“Infact,"'becomingmoreefficient"ispartoftheproblem.Thinkingoftimeas

aresourcetobemaximisedmeansyouapproachitinstrumentally,judginganygivenmomentaswellspentonlyin

sofarasitadvancesprogresstowardsomegoal.Immersivereading,bycontrast,dependsonbeingwillingtorisk

inefficiency,goallessness,eventime-wasting.（事實上，”變得更有效率”是問題的一部分。將時間視為一種

需要最大化利用的資源，意味著你會以一種工具的方式來對待它，只有在它朝著某個目標前進的過程中，

你才會認為任何給定的時刻都是值得利用的。相比之下，沉浸式閱讀依賴于愿意承擔效率低下、無目標、

甚至浪費時間的風(fēng)險。）”可知，作者認為傳統(tǒng)的時間管理方法對閱讀沒有幫助的主要原因是他們過于注重

效率，這與沉浸式閱讀的本質(zhì)相沖突。故選A項。

【5題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的句子“Themodernmind,TimParks,anovelistandcritic,writes,ctis

overwhelminglyinclinedtowardcommunication...Itisnotsimplythatoneisinterrupted;itisthatoneisactually

inclinedtointerruption.^^Deepreadingrequiresnotjusttime,butaspecialkindoftimewhichcan'tbeobtained

merelybybecomingmoreefficient」小說家兼評論家蒂姆?帕克斯寫道，現(xiàn)代人的思維“極其傾向于交

流……這不僅僅是一個人被打斷了；而是一個人實際上傾向于打斷?！鄙疃乳喿x不僅需要時間，還需要一

種特殊的時間，而這種時間不能僅僅通過提高效率來獲得。）”可知，根據(jù)蒂姆?帕克斯的說法，阻礙深入

閱讀的現(xiàn)代思維的一個關(guān)鍵特征是它自然地傾向于打斷和交流。故選B項。

【6題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的句子""Thefuturecomesatuslikeemptybottlesalonganunstoppableandnearly

infiniteconveyorbelt,^^writesGaryEberleinhisbookSacredTime,and“wefeelapressuretofillthesedifferent-

sizedbottles（days,hours,minutes）astheypass,foriftheygetbywithoutbeingfilled,wewillhavewastedthem.^^

Nomind-setcouldbeworseforlosingyourselfinabook.（力口里?埃伯利在他的《神圣的時間》一書中寫道：

“未來就像一條不可阻擋的、幾乎無限的傳送帶上的空瓶子一樣向我們走來?！薄爱斶@些不同大小的瓶子

（幾天、幾小時、幾分鐘）經(jīng)過時，我們感到有壓力要裝滿它們，因為如果它們沒有被裝滿，我們就會浪

費它們?！睕]有一種心態(tài)會因為迷失在一本書中而變得更糟。）”可知，加里?埃伯利把時間看作是一種有

限的資源，必須被富有成效的活動填滿。故選A項。

[7題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的句子"Sowhatdoeswork?Perhapssuiprisingly,schedulingregulartimesfor

reading.You'dthinkthismightfueltheefficiencymind-set,butinfact,Eberlenotes,suchritualisticbehaviour

helpsus"stepoutsidetime'sflow"into"soultime."（那么，什么有效呢？也許令人驚訝的是，安排規(guī)律的閱讀

時間。你可能會認為這可能會助長效率思維，但事實上，埃伯利指出，這種儀式化的行為有助于我們“走

出時間流”進入“靈魂時間”。）”可知，作者提出安排有規(guī)律的閱讀時間來養(yǎng)成一種儀式性的習(xí)慣來有效

地閱讀。故選A項。

【答案】8.A9.C10.A11.D

【解析】

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了美國魚類和野生動物管理局（USFWS）將小草原松雞列為受威脅

物種，并介紹了相關(guān)的保護措施和計劃。

【8題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“Butjustsome22,000birdsremaintoday,occupyingabout16%ofthespecies'

historicrange.（但如今僅存約22000只這種鳥，其棲息地僅占該物種歷史棲息地范圍的16%）”以及第二段

中"ThecrashwasamajorreasontheU.SFishandWildlifeService（USFWS）decidedtoformallylistthebirdas

threatened.（數(shù)量的急劇下降是美國魚類和野生動物管理局（USFWS）決定正式將該鳥類列為受威脅物種的

主要原因）”可知，美國魚類和野生動物管理局決定正式將該鳥類列為受威脅物種的主要原因是小草原松雞

數(shù)量急劇下降。故選A。

【9題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中“Theyhadpushedtheagencytodesignatethebirdas"endangered”,astatusthat

givesfederalofficialsgreaterregulatorypowertocrackdownonthreats.ButAsheandothersarguedthatthe

“threatened“taggavethefederalgovernmentflexibilitytotryoutnew,potentiallylessconfrontational

大的監(jiān)管權(quán)力，以打擊威脅。他們曾敦促該機構(gòu)將這種鳥列為“瀕危”物種，這一認定使聯(lián)邦官員擁有更

大的監(jiān)管權(quán)力來打擊威脅這種鳥生存的因素。但阿什和其他人認為，“受威脅”這一認定使聯(lián)邦政府有靈

活性去嘗試新的、可能較不具對抗性的保護方法）”可知，通過對比這兩句話，我們可以得出結(jié)論：與“瀕

?！钡匚幌啾龋笆芡{”標簽給聯(lián)邦政府的監(jiān)管權(quán)力較小，這正是讓一些環(huán)保主義者感到失望的原因。

他們原本希望通過“瀕?！钡匚粊砑訌姳Ｗo力度，但“受威脅”標簽卻降低了這種力度。故選C。

【10題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中“Undertheplan,forexample,theagencysaiditwouldnotprosecutelandowneror

計劃，就不會起訴他們因非故意而殺死、傷害或干擾這種鳥類。經(jīng)美國魚類及野生動物管理局（USFWS）

與各州協(xié)商，該計劃要求那些在運營過程中破壞棲息地的個人和企業(yè)向一個基金繳費，以用兩英畝適宜的

棲息地替換每一英畝被破壞的棲息地。該基金還將用于補償留出棲息地的土地所有者。美國魚類及野生動

物管理局還設(shè)定了一個中期目標，即在接下來的10年里將小草原松雞的數(shù)量恢復(fù)到年均6.7萬只）”可

知，非故意的傷害者如果同意支付一筆賠償金，將不會被起訴。故選A。

【答案】12.B13.A14.B15.C

【解析】

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇議論文。文章主要討論了盡早接觸計算機科學(xué)課程對學(xué)生的益處，以及其可能對未來職

業(yè)和生活帶來的積極影響。

【12題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段"It'snotashardforthemtotransformtheirthoughtprocessesasitisfbr

olderstudents”對他們來說，轉(zhuǎn)變思維過程不像對高年級學(xué)生那樣困難）”可推知，Cortina認為早期接觸計

算機科學(xué)使得轉(zhuǎn)變思維方式變得更容易。故選B。

【13題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第五段"Buttheskillstheylearn一howtothinklogicallythroughaproblemand

organizetheresults一applytoanycodinglanguage（他們學(xué)到的技能---如何通過問題進行邏輯思考并組織

結(jié)果一一適用于任何編程語言）”可推知，DeborahSeehorn認為Flatiron學(xué)到的技能將幫助學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)其他計

算機語言。故選A。

【14題詳解】

詞句猜測題。根據(jù)文章最后一■段“Theyoungertheylearnhowcomputersthink,howtocoaxthemachineinto

producingwhattheywant一theearliertheylearnthattheyhavethepowertodothat-thebetter."（他們越早

知道計算機是如何思考的，以及如何coax機器按照他們的意圖運行一一他們越早知道自己有能力做到這一

點一一就越好。）可知，他們學(xué)習(xí)計算機如何思考，以及如何引導(dǎo)機器按照他們的意圖運行，他們就越早

知道自己的能力。所以劃線單詞“coax”的意思最接近于"persuade"（勸導(dǎo)/引導(dǎo)）。故選B。

【15題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段"Theyoungertheylearnhowcomputersthink,howtocoaxthemachineinto
