【答案】21.B22.B23.A

【解析】

這是一篇應(yīng)用文。文章講述了去英國旅游時幾個可以節(jié)省費用的方法，給出了一些建議。

【21題詳解】

推理判斷題。由第五段中的"Bookingtwomonthsinadvance,thecheapestroomatTravelodge'sCentralEuston

hotelinLondonforSaturday22Septemberwas￡95.95.AroomjustatubejourneyawayatitsCoventGarden

hotelwas￡75.75.AndatFarringdon,adoubleroomcostjust￡62.95.”(提前兩個月預(yù)訂，9月22日星期六，

位于倫敦的Travelodge的CentralEuston酒店最便宜的房間是95.95英鎊。在火車站旁邊的CoventGarden酒

店僅需75.75英鎊。在Farringdon,一間雙人房只需62.95英鎊。)，可知本處在講酒店房間價錢，離火車站越

近，價格越高。由此推知，F(xiàn)arringdon是離火車站很遠的旅館。故選B項。

【22題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。由第六段中的"Asanalternative,considercheckingintoaself-cateringflatwithitsownkitchen.Often

theseflatsarehiddenawayonthetopfloorsofcitycenterbuildings.AgreatexampleisthehistoricO'NeillFlaton

Edinburgh'sRoyalMile,availablefor￡420forfivedaysinlateSeptember,withroomforfouradults.^^(作為一種

選擇，考慮入住一個有自己廚房的自助式公寓。這些公寓通常隱藏在市中心大樓的頂層。一個很好的例子是

位于愛丁堡皇家英里的歷史悠久的O'NeiHFlat,9月下旬5天內(nèi)售價420英鎊,可容納4名成人。），可知O'Neill

Flat有自己的廚房，可以為游客提供烹飪工具。故選B項。

【23題詳解】

推理判斷題。由第一段“PlanningavisittotheUK?Herewehelpwithwaystocutyourcosts.”（計劃訪問英國？

在這里，我們將幫助您降低成本。），可知文章主要是提供一些幫助讀者削減旅游成本的方法。故選A項。

【答案】24.B25.D26.B27.C

【解析】

本文是說明文。研究表明養(yǎng)狗可以使人類長壽，文章從幾方面列舉了養(yǎng)狗的好處和對健康的促進作用。

【24題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“he(orshe)canalsohelpyoulivelonger,accordingtonewresearch."和第二段"Overall,

ownersofdogs(especiallyhuntingbreeds)havealowerriskofdeathfromcardiovascular(心血管)diseaseorother

causes,theresearchersfound.”可知研究表明狗可以幫助人類長壽，養(yǎng)狗的人死于心血管疾病的風(fēng)險較低。再加

上第四段列舉的養(yǎng)狗能促進長壽的原因，可推知擁有一只狗能使人長壽。故選B。

[25題詳解】

詞義猜測題。第四段開頭“Accordingtotheresearchers,thebenefitscangobothways”點明了養(yǎng)狗的好處是雙向

的，下文就列舉了其好處。畫線詞語所在句子的前半句"afamilydogcouldchangetheowner'sbacterial

microbiome(細菌微生物群)byexposingthemtoforeignbacteria,”說明狗可以通過讓主人接觸外來細菌來改變他

們的細菌微生物群，結(jié)合詞后的“theirimmunesystemsagainstdisease.”可知是加強免疫系統(tǒng)來對抗疾病，boost

應(yīng)該是“加強，促進，提高“，與strengthen同義，故選D。

【26題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“afamilydogcouldchangetheowner'sbacterialmicrobiome（細菌微生物群）byexposing

themtoforeignbacteria,whichbooststheirimmunesystemsagainstdisease.”可知狗可以通過讓主人接觸外來細

菌來改變他們的細菌微生物群，加強免疫系統(tǒng)來對抗疾病，A項正確；根據(jù)第四段“Owningadogmightalso

increasepeoples*socialinteractionandoverallwell-being,leadingtoalongerlife.”可知養(yǎng)狗還可以增加人們的社

會交往和整體幸福感，從而延長壽命，C項正確；根據(jù)第二段“ownersofdogs（especiallyhuntingbreeds）havea

lowerriskofdeathfromcardiovascular（心血管）diseaseorothercauses,“可知養(yǎng)狗的人死丁心血管疾病的風(fēng)險較

低，D項正確；根據(jù)第一段“he（orshe）canalsohelpyoulivelonger,accordingtonewresearch.”及全文內(nèi)容可知

養(yǎng)狗可以使人類長壽，但文中并沒有說能延長狗的壽命，B項表達錯誤，故選B。

[27題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后Dr.MikeKnapton說的“However,asmanydogownersmayagree,themainreasonfor

owningadogisthesheerjoy."（然而，許多養(yǎng)狗的人可能會同意，養(yǎng)狗的主要原因是純粹的樂趣。）可知Dr.Mike

Knapton認為許多美國家庭養(yǎng)狗是因為狗能給他們帶來更多樂趣，故選Co

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。本文從由于城市的光線太強影響人們看流星雨，談到光污染給動物及人類帶來的危害，最

后想告訴人類活動應(yīng)該是環(huán)保的。

[28題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“Whattheyfoundinsteadwasaskysobrightenedbythecity'slightsthatitdarkenedthe

lightofthemeteorspassingoverheads相反，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)城市的燈光照亮了天空，使得頭頂上流星的光線變暗了）”

可知，昨晚發(fā)生的事情是，城市的燈光影響了流星觀測。故選B。

【29題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中“Astronomers—scientistswhostudystarsandplanets—havebeencomplainingabout

thisproblemfordecades.Theysaythatlightpollutionpreventsthemfromseeingobjectsintheskythattheycould

seequiteeasilyinthepast.（天文學(xué)家——研究恒星和行星的科學(xué)家——已經(jīng)抱怨這個問題幾十年了。他們說，

光污染使他們看不到過去很容易看到的天空物體）''可知，天文學(xué)家們抱怨光污染問題多年來一直沒有得到解

決。故選A。

【30題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中“Foryears,Flagstaff,Arizona,hasenforcedlightingregulationsinitscityinorderto

assistastronomersattheLowellObservatory.（多年來，亞利桑那州的Flagstaff市為了幫助Lowell天文臺的天文

學(xué)家，在該市實施了照明規(guī)定）“可知，亞利桑那州的Flagstaff市實施了照明規(guī)定，為了幫助Lowell觀測站的

天文學(xué)家創(chuàng)造更好的觀察環(huán)境。故選A。

[31題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段"Countlessmoreanimalscasualtiesresultfromtheuseofartificiallighting.Clearly,

peopleenjoythebenefitsoflightingtheirevenings,butsomescientiststhinkitcanbeharmfulforhumans,too.They

worrythatexposuretolightwhilesleepingcanincreaseperson'schancesofgettingcancer.（不計其數(shù)的動物因使用

人工照明而死亡。顯然，人們享受夜晚照明的好處，但一些科學(xué)家認為它也可能對人類有害。他們擔(dān)心睡覺

時暴露在光線下會增加患癌癥的幾率）”結(jié)合文章主要講述的是光污染的問題自己給人類以及動物所造成的不

良影響?？赏浦?，作者最想傳達給我們的信息是：人類活動應(yīng)該是環(huán)保的。故選D。

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章主要講述了閑聊是人類交往互動的第一步，能夠是人類跨越許多社交障礙，深入的交

談能與我們與其他人建立持久的聯(lián)系，形成寶貴的友誼，使我們的生活充滿活力，友誼從閑聊開始，著重描

述了閑聊的意義。

[32題詳解】

主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段"Butdespitebeingevidentandoftenpainfullydull,smalltalkhasanimportantroleto

fulfil,enablingustoleapoveranumberofsocialobstaclestowardsimproved,meaningfulinteraction/不過，盡管閑

聊往往明顯枯燥得令人痛苦，但它仍能發(fā)揮重要作用，使我們能夠跨越許多社會障礙，改善有意義的互動。）”

可知，閑聊是跨越許多社會障礙，改善互動的方式，由此可知，第一段講述的是：閑聊是人類互動的第一步，

故選A項.

【33題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“Whenfindingyourselfpositionedcloselytoapersonwhoyouknowlittleabout,it's

muchsafertopointouttherainyskythantoshareyourpoliticalviewsonasensitivetopic.Untilyouknowthe

personbetter,heaviertopicsshouldprobablybekeptunderwraps,soyouwon'tfindyourselfonthereceivingendof

全得多。在你更好地了解對方之前，較嚴(yán)肅的話題應(yīng)該保密，這樣你才不會被冷眼瞪著。）”可知，如果閑聊

的話題沒有控制住敏感度是不“安全的由此推知，如果閑聊不能控制好話題的“人際距離''將會被冷眼相待,

故選D項。

【34題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Aresponseto"howwasyourweekend"canunveilmuchabouttheperson（scharacter.

Thelengthoftheirresponsemightindicatetheirlevelofself-confidence;thetoneofspeakingmightshowhow

agreeableapersonis;（對“周末過得怎么樣”的回答可以揭示出這個人的很多性格特征。他們回答的長度可能表

明了他們的自信程度;說話的語氣可以顯示出一個人是多么和藹可親;）”可知體現(xiàn)一個人友好、和藹的標(biāo)志是說

話的語氣。故選B項。

【35題詳解】

標(biāo)題判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“Butdespitebeingevidentandoftenpainfullydull,smalltalkhasanimportantroleto

fulfil,enablingustoleapoveranumberofsocialobstaclestowardsimproved,meaningfulinteraction4不過，盡管閑

聊往往明顯枯燥得令人痛苦，但它仍能發(fā)揮重要作用，使我們能夠跨越許多社會障礙，改善有意義的互動。）”

和結(jié)合最后一段"Conversationisagreateducator,anddeepconversationestablishlastingbondswith

ourfellowhumans,formingpreciousfriendshipsthatpaintourliveswithvibrantcolors.Suchfriendshipsbeginwith

smalltalk.（交談是偉大的教育家，深入的交談能與我們的同胞建立持久的聯(lián)系，形成寶貴的友誼，使我們的生

活充滿活力。這樣的友誼從閑聊開始。戶可知，文章主要在說明閑聊的重要性，所以C項“閑聊的意義”適合

做文章的標(biāo)題，故選C項。
