參考答案及解析第一部分聽力1–5ABABC6–10BCCBA11–15ACBBC16–20CCAAB第二部分閱讀第一節【答案】21．C22．D23．C【導語】本文是一篇應用文。文章介紹了四個適合孩子參觀的博物館。21．推理判斷題。根據NationalGeographicMuseum部分中的“theNationalGeographicMuseum,whichisnearFarragutWest.Therearechangingexhibitsthatalwaysfeatureworkbygreatphotographers,aswellasexhibitsthatshowtheeffortsofinternationalscientiststoprotectthenaturalworld'sresourcesandanimals.(國家地理博物館，靠近法拉格特西部。展覽不斷變化，總是以偉大攝影師的作品為特色，也有展示國際科學家為保護自然資源和動物所作努力的展覽。)”可知，這個靠近法拉格特西部的博物館的展覽展示了全球的科學家為保護世界自然資源和動物做出的貢獻，所以會教給孩子們一些關于環境的知識。故選C。22．細節理解題。根據NationalAirandSpaceMuseum部分中的“orwatchanIMAXfilm”可知,孩子們可以在這個博物館看電影。故選D。23．細節理解題。根據RenwickGallery部分“TakethekidstotheRenwickGallery,whichhoststheSmithsonianAmericanArtMuseum'samazingcollectionofdecorativeart,andstartacompletelynewconversationbetweenkidsandart.(帶孩子們去倫威克畫廊(RenwickGallery)，那里有史密森尼美國藝術博物館(SmithsonianAmericanArtMuseum)令人驚嘆的裝飾藝術收藏，在孩子和藝術之間開啟一場全新的對話。)”可知，這個博物館適合藝術愛好者參觀。故選C。B【答案】24．D25．A26．A27．C【導語】這是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了AnurudhGanesan因為想要幫助孩子們都能獲得疫苗，避免死亡，發明了Vaxxwagon，可以將疫苗運送到更遠的地方。24．細節理解題。根據文章第一段“Everyyear,1.5millionkidsaroundtheworlddieasaresultofnotgettingvaccines(疫苗).Thisispartlybecausetransporting(運送)andstoringmedicinescanbeahugechallengeinsomecountries.(每年，全世界有150萬兒童因為沒有接種疫苗而死亡。這在一定程度上是因為運輸和儲存藥物在一些國家可能是一個巨大的挑戰。)”和第二段“Butbythetimetheyarrived,thevaccineswerenolongerusablebecausetheyhadbeenoverheated.(但是當他們到達的時候，疫苗已經不能再使用了，因為它們已經過熱了。)”可知，每年都有許多兒童因為得不到有效的疫苗而死亡。故選D。25．細節理解題。根據文章第四段“ThehighschoolstudentinventedVaxxwagon,aportable(輕便的)vaccine-carryingdevice(裝置)thatproducesitsownpowertokeeplifesavingmedicinescoolasthey’redeliveredtoremoteareasaroundtheworld.(這名高中生發明了一種攜帶疫苗的便攜式裝置——Vaxxwagon。當救命的藥物被送到世界各地的偏遠地區時，這種裝置可以自己產生能量，保持藥物的低溫。)”可知，Vaxxwagon的特殊之處在于它是一個帶有冷卻系統的裝置，將救生藥物運送到世界各地的偏遠地區。故選A。26．推理判斷題。根據文章第四段“AlthoughAnurudhreceivedthevaccineheneededintheend,hisexperienceasababyandthesadrealitythatsomanyotherchildrenaren’tasluckymotivated(激發)himtotakeaction.ThehighschoolstudentinventedVaxxwagon,aportable(輕便的)vaccine-carryingdevice(裝置)thatproducesitsownpowertokeeplifesavingmedicinescoolasthey’redeliveredtoremoteareasaroundtheworld.(雖然Anurudh最終接受了他所需要的疫苗，但他在嬰兒時期的經歷，以及其他許多孩子都沒有這么幸運的悲慘現實，促使他采取行動。這名高中生發明了一種攜帶疫苗的便攜式裝置——Vaxxwagon。當救命的藥物被送到世界各地的偏遠地區時，這種裝置可以自己產生能量，保持藥物的低溫。)”根據倒數第二段“AnurudhsayshisfinalgoalistostartsellingVaxxwagontorelieforganizations,soitcanbeusedtohelppeoplearoundtheworld.”（阿努魯德說，他的最終目標是開始向救援組織出售Vaxxwagon，這樣它就可以用來幫助世界各地的人們。）可知，17歲的印度男孩Anurudh為拯救更多的人，發明了一種攜帶疫苗的便攜式裝置Vaxxwagon，這種裝置可以自己產生能量，在將救生藥物運送到世界各地的偏遠地區時，使其保持涼爽。由此可知，Anurudh是一個關心他人并且有創造力的人。故選A。27．推理判斷題。根據文章第四段“AlthoughAnurudhreceivedthevaccineheneededintheend,hisexperienceasababyandthesadrealitythatsomanyotherchildrenaren’tasluckymotivated(激發)himtotakeaction.(雖然Anurudh最終接受了他所需要的疫苗，但他在嬰兒時期的經歷，以及其他許多孩子都沒有這么幸運的悲慘現實，促使他采取行動。)”以及他最終發明了Vaxxwagon這個裝置可知，動機是成功之母。故選C。C28．A29．B30．C31．D【導語】這是一篇說明文。文章介紹了微波爆米花存在潛在危險，因為爆米花袋上涂有的化學物質對人體健康有害。28．細節理解題。根據第三段中的“Nevertheless,inresponsetoconcernsaboutPFCs,theU.S.FoodandDrugAdministration(FDA)workedwithpopcornmakersbackin2011toremovePFOAfromtheirpackaging.ThreemorePFCswerebannedinthenextfiveyears.Sotoday’smicrowavepopcorndoesn’thavethesechemicals,butcriticssaythatthealternativescouldcauseproblemsastheoldones,butlessisknownaboutthem.(然而，為了回應對PFOA的擔憂，美國食品和藥物管理局（FDA）早在2011年就與爆米花制造商合作，將PFOA從包裝中去除。在接下來的五年里，又有三種全氟化合物被禁止使用。所以今天的微波爆米花不含這些化學物質，但批評人士說，替代品可能會像舊的爆米花一樣造成問題，但人們對它們知之甚少。)”可知，美國食品和藥物管理局（FDA）早在2011年就與爆米花制造商合作，將PFOA從包裝中去除；因此，目前在美國爆米花袋中不存在PFOA。故選A項。29．推理判斷題。由第四段中的“Thechemicalthatfordecadeslentbutterydeliciousnesstopopcornhasalsobeenconnectedinrarecaseswithmajorlungdamage.Knownasdiacetyl(二乙酰),it’slongbeenadocumentedproblemwithworkersinpopcornmakingfacilities,butalsocanberiskyforpeoplewhojusteatthesnackalot.(幾十年來，這種給爆米花帶來黃油般美味的化學物質，在極少數情況下也與嚴重的肺損傷有關。它被稱為二乙酰，長期以來，爆米花制作廠的工人一直被記載存在這一問題，但對那些經常吃零食的人來說也可能有風險。)”可知diacetyl（二乙酰）會損傷肺部，是生產爆米花工人記錄在案的問題，說明在工廠制作爆米花的工人最易接觸二乙酰。故選B項。30．推理判斷題。由最后一段“Mostoftheexposuretodiacetylcamefrominbreathingratherthaneatingpopcorn.Therefore,expertsrecommendatleastwaitingforthebagtocoolbeforeyouopenittoreducepotentiallyharmfulchemicalexposure.Betteryet,makeyourownfreshathomewithanairpopper.Ifyouliketoflavorit,addorganicbutterorsomecheese.(大多數接觸到雙乙酰的人是通過呼吸而不是吃爆米花。因此，專家建議至少等袋子冷卻后再打開，以減少潛在的有害化學物質的接觸。更好的是，在家里用一個空氣清新器。如果你喜歡調味，可以加入有機黃油或奶酪。)”可知本段主要告訴我們吃爆米花時，怎樣減少潛在的有害化學物質的接觸，即如何讓爆米花更安全。故選C項。31．主旨大意題。文章第一段“There’sbeenlotsofconcernrecentlyaboutthepotentialdangersofmicrowavepopcorn(爆米花),butisthisconcernfounded,orjustovermuchfear-spreading?Theansweristhatmanyofthechemicalsthatcausedworryinearlierdecadeshavebeenremovedfrommicrowavepopcorn,butsomecriticsstillarenotsatisfied.(最近有很多人擔心微波爆米花的潛在危險，但這種擔心是有根據的，還是只是過度的恐懼傳播？答案是，在過去的幾十年里，許多令人擔憂的化學物質已經從微波爆米花中去除，但一些批評者仍然不滿意。)”提出問題：微波爆米花是否存在潛在危險？下文第二、三、四段分別闡述了微波爆米花袋上涂有全氟化學物質對人體有害，美國食品和藥物管理局（FDA）禁止在爆米花袋上涂有像全氟辛烷磺酸一樣的化學物質，“涂在爆米花袋上的二乙酰（diacetyl）對人們有害，而且替代雙乙酰的替代品也是有害；第五段闡述如何使爆米花更安全”；由此可知，本文主要闡述爆米花袋上的化學物質對人有害以及如何使爆米花更安全，回答了微波爆米花是否存在潛在危險這一問題，D項“IsMicrowavePopcornReallyDangerous?(微波爆米花真的很危險嗎？)”符合文章主旨。故選D項。D本文是一篇科技類說明文。文章探討了人工智能過度使用對批判性思維的負面影響，特別是對信息合成能力的損害，并分析了AI在商業領域導致的工作變革及相關政策變化。32.D細節理解題。根據第一段中的“toomuchrelianceonthesetoolscancausegreatharmtocriticalthinking,aswellasnegativelyaffectthebrain’sabilitytocombinedifferentideas,styles,orsystemsintoasingleideaorsystem”和最后一段中的“researcherswarnthatlong-termusecandestroytheabilitytosynthesize”可知，研究者明確指出過度依賴AI對合成能力影響最大。故選D。33.B推理判斷題。根據第三段中的“AccordingtoareportpublishedbytheWorldEconomicForum,therewasadecreaseofaround41%intheworkforce.BigtechCEOshaveadmittedthattheyaredistributingmuchoftheirworktoAI,accordingtoCNET.ThismigrationoffunctionstoAIhasledtoawaveoflayoffsandfewerjobopenings.”可知，科技公司將大量工作分配給AI，導致工作職能向AI轉移，進而引發裁員潮和職位減少，這說明AI導致了相關工作崗位的流失。文中提到的勞動力減少41%正是這一現象的具體表現。故選B。34.B詞義猜測題。根據第四段中的“reducinglimitationsonbigtech”這一結果可以推斷，前文“revokedbyPresidentDonaldTrump”應表示“取消”的意思，即特朗普取消了拜登發布的AI安全相關行政命令，從而減少了對大型科技公司的限制。故選B。35.C推理判斷題。根據第四段特朗普取消AI限制令和谷歌“liftedabanontheuseofAIinthedevelopmentofweaponsandsurveillancetools”可知，政府和科技公司都在放寬對AI使用的限制，這暗示社會對AI的接受度和包容度正在提高。故選C。第二節本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了音樂如何影響人們的心情，并分析了音樂在情緒調節和時間感知方面的作用。B空前說“在不同文化和年齡段中，音樂被用作強大的情緒調節器”；空后說“音樂的情感力量是人們投入大量時間、精力和金錢的主要原因之一”。B項“我們經常用音樂來撫慰我們的靈魂和傷痛”，既體現了音樂調節情緒的作用，又能很好地銜接上下文，說明人們因為音樂能撫慰心靈所以才愿意投入時間、精力和金錢。故選B。D空前說“悲傷的音樂能讓聽眾遠離痛苦的情境”；D項“這是因為他們反而專注于音樂的美妙之處”，解釋了為什么悲傷的音樂能讓聽眾遠離痛苦情境，是因為聽眾專注于音樂之美而不是痛苦。故選D。F空后提到聽音樂可能讓人感覺到時間過得快，也可能讓人感覺時間過得慢，因此，音樂表明一個人對時間流逝的理解是主觀的。F項“音樂表明一個人對時間流逝的理解是主觀的”能夠概括后文內容。故選F。G空前提到“音樂被用于等候室以減少等待時的主觀時間長度，或者在超市里鼓勵人們停留更長時間并購買更多東西”；G項“當背景音樂緩慢時，消費者在雜貨店花費更多時間”，是對在超市使用音樂效果的具體舉例，與前文內容相呼應。故選G。A空后舉例“抗議歌曲《Baraye》表達了伊朗人的痛苦抱怨”，是一個關于音樂在國家層面表達情緒的例子。A項“音樂也可以在國家層面
