25、ealthy，strong and already eager to play and explore.”可知，新出生的犀牛状态良好。故选C项。26A细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“When the tiny creature arrived on January 31.”、第二段中的“Her mother，Solio，is a firsttime mum.”和第三段第二句“The first rhino to be born at Port Lympne arrived on January 5 to firsttime mother Kisima.”可知，两头犀牛幼崽都于一月出生，而且Sol

35、，作者搬到伦敦后感觉不知所措且无所适从。分析四个选项可知，A项中的disappointed(沮丧的)准确描述了作者的心情。故选A项。29B词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句“And thats what matteredlanding tricks，being a good skater.”可知，成为一名好的滑行者，落地技巧是重要的。再根据上句中的“when I landed the trick，my friends beat their boards loud, shouting.”可知，作者成功掌握了落地技巧，他的朋友们夸赞他干得漂亮。故选B项。30D推理判断题。根据第四段中的“I found

36、 myself wandering down to Southbank，spending hours there.Ive traveled back several times since.Weaving among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam.”可知，作者在回到伦敦后，花了数小时在Southbank漫步，并且去了多次，穿梭于玩滑板的孩子之间，忆起自己的过往。由此可推断作者在重温儿时美好的日子。故选D项。31C推理判断题。通读全文可知，作者从洛杉矶搬到伦敦后感到不适应，后在一个滑板运动中心

37、交到了好友。作者15岁时，一家又搬到了华盛顿。他尝试在那里玩滑板，但这项运动在那里并不受欢迎，故作者几年后放弃了。作者再次回到伦敦后，怀念小时候在伦敦的经历。这些都显示出孩子需要归属感。故选C项。DWho is a genius?

45、 and Luck【语篇解读】不论是在科学界还是艺术界，判断一个人是不是“天才”只有一个标准“胜利者的标准”。然而这是一个极为不公平的判断标准，因为它将很大一部分人排除在“天才俱乐部”外。好消息是这种情况正在得到改善。32A推理判断题。根据第三段的“Its said that history is written by the victors，and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club.When contributions were made by geniuses outside the clubw

46、omen，or people of a different color or beliefthey were unacknowledged and rejected by others.”可知，历史是由胜利者书写的，而这些胜利者也为“天才俱乐部”设定了标准。当“俱乐部”外的天才(即女性、不同肤色或信仰的人)做出贡献时，他们得不到认可，并会被其他人拒绝进入“天才俱乐部”。因此作者认为胜利者为“天才俱乐部”设定的准入标准是不公平的。故选A。33D推理判断题。根据第四段的“A study recently published by Science found that as young as age

47、 six，girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are really，really smart.Even worse，the study found that girls act on that belief：Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who arereally，really smart.”可知，该项研究发现，女孩会避免去做那些被认为是“特别特别聪明”的孩子才能做的事。由此可知，

48、女孩可能受到社会观念的影响。故选D。34A细节理解题。根据第五段的“In a wired world with constant global communication，were all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear.”可知，有更多的天才被公众所知，其原因在于全球通信系统的改善。故选A。35B主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段中的“.social factors like gender，race，and class do not determine the appearance of genius.As a wri

49、ter says，future geniuses come from those withintelligence，creativity，perseverance，and simple good fortune，who are able to change the world.”可知，像性别、种族和阶层这样的社会因素并不能决定天才是什么样的。因此B项“天才有多种形式”最能概括本文的主旨。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Swap，Dont Shop!You keep hearing about recyc

50、ling，right?

53、 the room.39Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on.One of the ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take themthings always look different when you put them on.Set a starting time.Maybe you say “go，”

55、t spotsGTell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了如何举办服装交换派对活动来回收利用旧衣服，以达到保护环境的目的。36B分析上下文语境可知，该空起承上启下的作用。空前提到该如何处理你不喜欢的衣服，空后提到舍弃你的旧衣服，从你朋友那里获得衣服。由此可知，空处应提出一种解决你不喜欢的衣服这一问题的方法。分析选项可知，B项“举办旧衣物交换活动”是对该问题的回答；而下一句中的代词It也指代B选项中的clothing swap。故B项正确。37A分析本句的结构可知，后半句中的“more than that

56、.”和空处所填应形成对比的关系；分析各选项可知，A项符合该处语境，且选项中的that与more than that中的that均指代该段首句中的Invite 510 people。故A项正确。38G该空位于句首，应为段落的主旨句。且由下一句中的also一词可知，两句之间为递进关系，G选项中的bring与下一句“They should also prepare.”中的prepare相呼应，此段介绍参加服装交换派对活动的要求，即不仅要带来干净可穿的衣物，还要准备好装“新”衣物的环保袋。故G项正确。39F由上下文语境可知，空处应是讲述交换衣服时所做的事情。F选项中put一词是前一句“Put diff

57、erent types of clothing on different surfaces in the room”的关键词复现，表明应把衣物摆放在合适的位置。故F项正确。40D由空前一句中的“turn on a certain song，or whatever”和空后一句可知，D选项中的“全程播放音乐”与空后“准备一些饼干和水果”，都是为了给旧衣物交换派对活动增添乐趣。故D项正确。第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Its the seaside bi
