【答案】4.D5.C6.B7.A

【解析】

【分析】這是一篇新聞報道。主要說明了一張加拿大男子TheunisWessels平靜注視

龍卷風的照片在社交媒體上廣為流傳，堪稱“冷靜”的大師之作。文章主要解釋了

這張照片背后的事情經(jīng)過，以及Wessels先生本人對此的看法。

【4題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段"Ithasalwaysbeenthoughtthatwhenitcomestotornadoes,

themostpeacefulplaceisthecentre:theeyeofthestorm.Butaphototakenthisweekin

thesmallCanadiantownofThreeHills,Alberta,suggeststhatthereisperhapsnoplace

morepeacefulthaninsidethecalmmindofTheunisWessels.“可知人們一直認為，當遇

到龍卷風時，最平靜的地方是中心：風暴眼。但本周在加拿大阿爾伯塔省三山鎮(zhèn)拍

攝的一張照片表明，也許沒有什么地方比在TheunisWessels平靜的內心更平靜了。

由此可推知，第一段是通過比較展開的。故選D。

【5題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“ItallstartedwhenMrWessels'wife,Cecilia,waswarned

bytheirnine-year-olddaughterthathewascuttinggrassintheiryardwhenaviolent

tomadoappearedinthedistance.Whenherhusbandrefusedtocomeinside,sayingitwas

movingawayfromthem,MrsWesselstookaphototoshowherparentsthestorm.w可知

這一切都始于當時Wessels先生的妻子Cecilia,被9歲的女兒警告說爸爸他在院子

里割草時，遠處出現(xiàn)了猛烈的龍卷風。當她的丈夫拒絕進屋，說它正在遠離他們時，

Wessels夫人拍了一張照片給父母看風暴。由此可知，Cecilia拍這張照片是為了通知

她的父母有龍卷風。故選C。

【6題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中“Whenaskedlateraboutthetornado'sapproachtohim,

MrWesselsresponded,41waskeepinganeyeonit/seemingascoolashisgardeningstyle

andattractingmorethanalittlerespect.w可知當被問及龍卷風將靠近他時的感受時，

Wessels先生回答說：“我一直在關注著它。"他看上去就像他的園藝風格一樣冷靜，

讓人肅然起敬。由此可知，B選項“面對龍卷風，他表現(xiàn)得鎮(zhèn)定自若”可能會讓

Wessels先生受到尊重。故選B。

【7題詳解】

主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段中“ButaphototakenthisweekinthesmallCanadiantownof

ThreeHills,Alberta,suggeststhatthereisperhapsnoplacemorepeacefulthaninsidethe

calmmindofTheunisWessels.可知但本周在加拿大阿爾伯塔省三山鎮(zhèn)拍攝的一張

照片表明，也許沒有什么地方比在TheunisWessels平靜的內心更平靜了。結合文章

主要說明了一張加拿大男子TheunisWessels平靜注視龍卷風的照片在社交媒體上廣

為流傳,堪稱“冷靜”的大師之作。解釋了這張照片背后的事情經(jīng)過，以及Wessels

先生本人對此的看法。由此可知,這篇文章的主旨是一名男子無視加拿大的龍卷風。

故選Ao

【答案】8.C9.D10.A11.B

【解析】

【分析】這是一篇說明文。介紹了在印度為了應對環(huán)境污染開的“氧吧”，以及人

們對此的看法。

【8題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第一句"Recallingthefirstfewmonthsofthebarjrengbam

admittedthatpeopleweresceptical.”回想最初幾個月，Irengbam承認人們持懷疑態(tài)度。

可知“氧吧”一開始受到人們的質疑，所以一開始并沒有被很好地接受。故選C項。

【9題詳解】

詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第四段中“Butonlypeoplewhodothisregularlywillgetreal

benefits.Byregularly,!meanonceortwiceamonth?！笨芍?，一月吸氧一次或者兩次是

有益于健康的，而后文中作者不鼓勵“backtoback”，因為這樣會增加氧氣水平從而

讓人眩暈。通過語境可知"backtoback”應是“常常，連續(xù)不斷”的意思，因為連續(xù)不

斷地吸入純氧會導致氧氣水平上升，讓人眩暈。D.One-after?another（連續(xù)地）符合以

上猜測，故選D項。

【10題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中“Evenifyoubreatheintheso-calledpureoxygenfortwo

hoursinaday,youwillgobacktobreathingthepollutedairfbrtherestofthe22hours.The

conceptispurelymoney-driven”可知，Dr.RajethaChawla認為即使一天呼吸兩個小時

所謂的“純氧氣”，剩下22個小時都呼吸污染的空氣，那這個完全就是受金錢驅使的

概念。由此推知，他對“氧吧”持懷疑的態(tài)度。故選A項。

【11題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“Inbetweenallthemeasurestobattlethesevereairpollutionin

Delhi,India,there'sonemoreoption一abarthathas4pureair”'可知，在針對印度德里

嚴重的空氣污染采取的所有措施之中，還有另一種選擇，擁有“純凈空氣''的“氧吧

并結合全文理解可知，文章是介紹為了應對環(huán)境污染在印度開的“氧吧”。由此推知，

文章的目的是介紹印度的第一所“氧吧故選B項。

【答案】12.B13.C14.C15.A

【解析】

【分析】本文是議論文。文章論述了朋友在我們生活中的重要性以及男性和女性對

待友誼的態(tài)度的不同。

【12題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“OnewomannamedRebecca...toldherthatifshehadgot

tochoosebetweenherhusbandandherfriend,shewouldchooseherfriend.”如果讓

Rebecca在丈大和朋友之間做出選擇，她會選擇朋友。由此可知，在Rebecca看來，

認為朋友對于她來說比丈夫重要。故選B。

【13題詳解】

推理判斷題。文章第三段中提到"Ifthecoupledonotmakesomechange,theywill

eithergettiredofeachotherandbreakuporstaytogetherandseekfriendshipwithothers.

（如果情侶們不做出一些改變，他們要么厭倦對方而分手，要么繼續(xù)在一起，而尋

求與他人的友誼。）”。由此可以推斷，一些夫妻在他們的關系之外尋找朋友，是因

為他們沒有從伴侶那里得到他們需要的友情。故選Co

【14題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中“womenaremorelikelythanmentohaveclosefriends.

“Youtellafriendthingsthatyou'dnevertellapartner"，saysonewomanshe

interviewed....Mensharetimeandactivitiesbuttheydon'toftensharetheirfeelings.

（女性比男性更有可能擁有親密的朋友。她采訪過的一位女性表示：'你會告訴朋

友一些你永遠不會告訴伴侶的事情。'……男人會分享時間和活動，……但他們很

少分享自己的感受）”可知，男性與女性的友情的區(qū)別在于男性不會像女性那樣和

朋友分享他們的情感。故選C。

【15題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段中“Evenwomenwhoarever>happilymarriedare

likelytobecomeveryunhappywithoutaclosefriendandcanevenfindthebreakupofa

closefriendaspainfulastheendofamarriage.（即使是婚姻非常幸福的女人，如果沒

有一個親密的朋友，也可能會變得非常不幸福，甚至會發(fā)現(xiàn)一段親密的友誼的破裂

和婚姻的結束一樣痛苦）”可知，當一段親密的友誼結束時，有些女性會感覺就像

婚姻結束一樣難過。故選A。

【答案】16.D17.B18.C19.B

【解析】

【分析】這是一篇記敘文。作者的媽媽一直告訴作者：一切都會好的。這句話在作

者畢業(yè)找工作時得到了驗證。

【16題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段"Ihaddecidedtotryforajobinaradiostation.Oneday,I

wantedtohostasportsprogram."可知，作者一開始就想在廣播臺主持體育節(jié)目。再

根據(jù)第六段“Howcansomeonebeasportsannouncerifhecan'tgetajobinaradio

station?w可知，作者覺得如果一個人不能在廣播電臺找到工作，他如何能成為體育

播音員？由此可知，作者最感興趣的工作就是體育播音員。故選D項。

【17題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段"Inonestation,akindladysaidmyproblemwasthatIhadn't

gotenoughexperience.w可知，一位好心的女士說我的問題是沒有足夠的經(jīng)驗。由此

可知，作者在芝加哥沒有找到工作的原因是缺少經(jīng)驗。故選A項。

【18題詳解】

推理判斷題。由文章內容尤其是第七段內容可知,作者找工作是做了充分的準備的，

經(jīng)過自己的努力和堅持，在機會來臨時牢牢抓住了機會，才得到了理想的工作。由

此推知，只有盡力做好每一件事，好運才會降臨到身上。故選B項。

【19題詳解】

主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章內容可知，作者一開始找不到工作，最終終于找到了自己理

想的工作，事情是一步步由壞變好，正是符合了媽媽說的那句話"Everythinghappens

forthebest.（一切都會變好的）”。由此可知，此句最適合作為標題，概括文章中心思

想。故選B項。

【答案】20.C21.A22.D23.D

【解析】

【分析】這是一篇說明文。主要講了時光旅行是否能夠成為可能，分別引用了科學

家阿爾伯特?愛因斯坦和斯蒂芬?霍金對于時空旅行的看法，并介紹了關于時間旅

行的不同作品。

【20題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“Whatifwehadthepowertocontroltime,insteadofmoving

fromthepasttothepresenttothefuture?Whatifwecouldjump,loopandtravelthrough

timeinamachine?Whatifwecouldgowhereverandwheneverwepleased?”可知，如

果我們有能力控制時間，而不是從過去到現(xiàn)在到未來，會怎么樣？如果我們能在機

器里跳躍、循環(huán)和穿越時間會怎樣？如果我們可以去任何我們想去的地方和時間呢？

由此可知，作者寫第一段的目的是吸引讀者對時光旅行的注意。故選C。

[21題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段中aEinsteinintroducedtwoideasthathaveledtotheories

aboutthepossibilityoftimetravel.可知愛因斯坦提出了兩種觀點，這兩種觀點導致

了關于時間旅行可能性的理論由此可推知，愛因斯坦的觀點導致了關于時光旅行

可能性的理論，說明愛因斯坦會同意A選項“時光旅行在未來是可能的”的說法。

故選Ao

【22題詳解】

主旨大意題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段"ThefirstsciencefictionstorywiththisthemeisThe

then,thousandsofbooks,filmsandtelevisionshowshaveexploredtheideaoftimetravel,

Mitchell的《倒轉的鐘》，出版于1881年。從那時起，成千上萬的書籍、電影和電

視節(jié)目都在探索時空旅行的概念，其中一些工具，如手機、手表、照片和舊書，帶
