D．LearningfromHistory参考答案一、答案：1．A2．C3．C解析：本文是应用文，是一则暑假线上学习课程的促销广告。1．细节理解题。根据第一自然段“FairleighDickinsonUniversity’sSummerPre-CollegeProgramoffersmotivatedstudentsingrades9to12theopportunitytogetajump-startonearningcollegecreditsthroughnew,engaging,interactivecourses.(费尔雷·迪金森大学的暑期大学预科项目为9-12年级的积极学生提供了一个机会，通过新的、吸引人的、互动的课程来获得大学学分)”可知，这个课程主要是针对9至12年级,准备上大学的高中生。故选A项。2．推理判断题。根据第一自然段“Studentswilldevelopin-demandskillsandlearncutting-edgetechniquesinavirtualacademicsetting.(学生将在虚拟的学术环境中发展所需的技能和学习前沿技术)”和第二自然段“Ourcourseshavebeendesignedtokeepstudentsengagedinaremoteleaningformat.(我们的课程是为了让学生参与远程学习而设计的)”可推知，所有课程都是线上教学课程。故选C项。3．细节理解题，根据ProgramCost部分“$770percourse(Youcanget20%discountifyoubooknow!)(每门课程$770,如果您现在预订，可以享受8折优惠!)”可知，一门课程的学费是770美元，现在预订可打8折，两门课程就是：770×2×0.8=1232美元。故选C项。二、答案：4．B5．D6．A7．B解析：这是一篇记叙文。讲述了10岁的塞拉在父亲的陪同下，借助一些特殊设备和绳索的保护，在爬了5天的高墙后，于6月12日登上了埃尔卡皮坦山顶的故事。4．细节理解题。根据第二段的第二句话“Herparents,MikeandJoySchneiter,fellinloveonthis3,000-plus-foothugerockandshehasalwayswantedtofeelthewaythatherparentsfeltwhentheywereuptheretogether.”（她的父母，迈克和乔伊·施耐特，在这块3000多英尺高的巨石上相爱，她一直想感受她的父母一起在那里时的感受。）可知，Selah从她的家族史中受到启发。故选B项。5．推理判断题。根据第三段的最后两句“ElCapitananditsdifficultNoseroute,whichrunsmorethan3,000feethighupthecenteroftherock'sface,isconsideredoneoftheworld'shardestbigwallclimbsandhasattractedthebestclimbersovertime.Butneverbeforehadayoungsteraccomplishedit.”（埃尔卡皮坦和它艰难的鼻子路线，在岩石表面的中心超过3000英尺高，被认为是世界上最难爬的高墙之一，长期以来吸引了最好的攀岩者。但在此之前，从来没有一个年轻人能做到这一点。）可知，攀登埃尔卡皮坦是十分艰难的。故选D项。6．推理判断题。根据第五段的后两句“TherewereafewtimeswhenIwouldbesowornthatitwouldkindofdiscouragemefromholdingon.Butoverall,itwasjustgreattokeeppluggingaway.”（有几次，我太疲惫了，以至于我都不敢坚持下去了。但总的来说，坚持下去是很棒的。）可知，Selah是下定决心的。故选A项。7．推理判断题。根据文章最后两句“Itdoesn'ttakenecessarilyasuperspecialpersontodosomethinglikethat.Youjusthavetoputyourmindtoit.”（做这样的事并不一定需要一个特别的人。你只需要用心去做。）可知，Selah对年轻人的建议是忠诚于自己的雄心抱负。故选B项。三、答案：8．A9．C10．A11．C解析：这是一篇说明文。当人们在回答问题前稍做停顿时，即使只有几秒钟，他们的回答也会被认为不如立即回答来得真诚和可信。犹豫的时间越长，回应就显得越不真诚。8．推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“Acrossall14experiments,participantsconsistentlyrateddelayedresponsesaslesssincereregardlessofthequestion.(在所有的14个实验中，参与者一致认为不管问题是什么，延迟的回答都不够真诚)”可知，答案的可靠性取决于响应时间。故选A。9．词句猜测题。根据第三段第三句和第四句“Theseresultscanbeappliedtoawiderangeofinteractions,goingfromworkplacechatstocouplesandfriendsarguing.Further,injobinterviewsandincourthearingsandtrials,peopleareoftentaskedwithjudgmentsofsincerity.(这些结果可以应用于广泛的互动，从工作聊天到夫妻和朋友之间的争吵。此外，在工作面试、法庭听证和审判中，人们经常被要求做出真诚的判断)”可知，这些发现有广泛的含义。由此推知，划线词connotations意为“含义”。故选C。10．细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“Nevertheless,onthewhole,afastresponseseemstoberegardedasmoresincere,whilearesponsethatisdelayedforevenacoupleofsecondsmaybeconsideredaslowlie.(然而，总的来说，一个快速的反应似乎被认为是更真诚的，而一个反应延迟甚至几秒钟可能被认为是一个缓慢的谎言)”可知，这个研究的结果在我们生活中的影响是这是一种判断诚实与否的考验。故选A。11．推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“Itwouldbeunfairfortheresponder,suchasacrimesuspect,iftheresponsedelaywassortedbymistakeintothoughtcontroloranswermakingupwhenitwasinfactcausedbyadifferentfactor,suchassimplybeingdistractedorthoughtful.(如果把反应延迟误归为思想控制或编造答案，而实际上是由于其他原因，如分心或考虑太多，这对应答者来说是不公平的，比如犯罪嫌疑人)”可知，延迟的回答会导致错误的判断。故选C。四、答案：12．C13．B14．A15．C解析：本文是说明文。文章介绍了一些魔术师表演的细节以及有关魔术的小技巧。12．目的意图题。通过对文章主旨大意的理解以及文章最后两端讲述的魔术技巧，可知作者写这篇文章的主要目的是解释魔法的艺术。故选C项。13．细节理解题。通过第二段“theuseofpsychologyisimportant.（心理学的应用是很重要的）”以及“Themagicianmustkeeppeoplefromnoticingallthemovementsofhishandsandfromthinkingaboutthesecretpartsofhisequipment.（魔术师必须防止人们注意到他的手的所有动作和思考他的设备的秘密部分。）”可知，作者强调对于观众注意力的引导是很重要。故选B项。14．推理判断题。通过倒数第二段“Forexamplethemagicianputsasmallballunderoneofseveralcups.Theballthenseemstojumpfromonecuptoanotherortochangecolour.(例如，魔术师把一个小球放在几个杯子中的一个下面。然后球似乎从一个杯子跳到另一个杯子或改变颜色)”以及最后一段“Whatactuallyhappensisthatthemagicianmakesthecutorburnedobjectdisappearbyquicklyhidingitwhiletheaudiencewatchessomethingelse.(实际发生的是，魔术师通过在观众观看其他东西时迅速隐藏它，使被切割或烧毁的物体消失)”可以推知，在文章最后两段中，作者举了两个例子。故选A项。15．推理判断题。通过文章第一段“Themagicianisaspeciallytrainedactor.(魔术师是受过专门训练的演员)”可推知，表演魔术需要练习。故选C项。五、答案：16．A17．C18．C19．B解析：这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了家常菜在移民的生活中的核心作用、特点和一位著名的家庭厨师，说明家常菜给餐桌带来更多乐趣。16．细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“ItfeaturesstoriesoffamouscookslikeMartinYanandhomecookswhosefoodrepresents18differentregionalcookingstylesofChina.(它讲述了著名厨师的故事，如阎马丁和家庭厨师，他们的食物代表了中国18种不同的地方烹饪风格)”可知，新博物馆的展览主要是关于中国食物和厨师的故事。故选A。17．细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Thekitchenitselfiskindofacomfortwhenyoucometoanewcountry.(当你来到一个新的国家，厨房本身就是一种安慰)”和第二句“That’stheoneplacewhereyousetupasyourhomebase,andyoucookthingsthatyourememberfromyourpast(那是你把它作为你的大本营的地方，你烹饪的东西都是你从过去的记忆中得来的)”可知，厨房在许多移民的生活中起着关键作用是因为它带来一种归属感。故选C。18．细节理解题。根据最后一段倒第三句“Shelearnedsomeofhertechniquesfromherfather,whomademostofherfamily’smealswhenshewasachild.(她从父亲那里学到了一些技巧，父亲在她小时候做了家里的大部分饭菜)”可知，她向她父亲学习了烹饪。故选C。19．主旨大意题。根据第二段最后一句“That’swhythecuratorssayifyouwanttotastethefullrangeofChinesecuisineintheU.S,you’llneedtogobeyondrestaurantsandintohomekitchens,whichcanplayacentralroleinmanyimmigrants’lives.(这就是为什么馆长们说，如果你想在美国品尝全方位的中国菜，你需要超越餐馆，进入家庭厨房，而家庭厨房在许多移民的生活中起着核心作用。这就是为什么馆长们说，如果你想在美国品尝全方位的中国菜，你需要超越餐馆，进入家庭厨房，而家庭厨房在许多移民的生活中起着核心作用)”且文中介绍了家常菜在移民的生活中的核心作用和一位著名的家庭厨师可知，文章主要是讲家常菜给餐桌带来更多乐趣。故选B。六、答案：20．D21．C22．C23．D解析：本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于听到最喜爱的音乐会让人“皮肤兴奋”并产生寒意的相关研究，解释了这背后的原因以及对音乐有不同反应可以反应人的性格特点。20．细节理解题。根据第二段中“It'ssuchathingthatagroupofscientistscall“skinexcitement”—afeelingofcoldcausednotbyadropintemperatureorsuddenscare,butbythesenseofbeauty.“Skinexcitement”cancomefromasong,apainting,amovingmoviescene,orevenabelovedmemory-prettymuchanythingthatcausesthegivingoutofpleasure-soakeddopamineinyourbrain.(一组科学家称这种现象为“皮肤兴奋”——不是因为温度下降或突然的恐惧而产生的寒冷感觉，而是因为美好。“皮肤兴奋”可以来自一首歌、一幅画、一个感人的电影场景，甚至是一段心爱的回忆——几乎任何能让你大脑中充满愉悦的多巴胺释放出来的东西)”可知，“皮肤兴奋”在本文中是指人体对美好事物的一种反应。故选D。21．细节理解题。根据第三段中“InanewstudypublishedinthejournalSocialCognitiveandAffectiveNeuroscience,Harvardresearchersperformedbrainscanson10studentswhosaidtheyreliablygotcoldwhenlisteningtomusic,and10studentswhodidn't.Theyfoundthatthecold-pronebrainsmayreallybeexcitedbystrongeremotions.(在一项发表在《社会认知与情感神经科学》杂志上的新研究中，哈佛大学的研究人员对10名学生进行了脑部扫描，这些学生说他们在听音乐时确实感到寒冷，而另外10名学生没有。他们发现，容易发冷的大脑可能真的会被更强烈的情绪激发)”可知，这项新研究的成果主要是发现了容易发冷的大脑和不发冷大脑的区别。故选C。22．推理判断题。根据第四段“Cold-pronebrainsaregenerallymorelikelytoshowstrongeremotionalintelligencethanno-coldbrains.Cold-pronemindstendtohaveunusualactiveimagination,reflectmoredeeplyontheiremotions,andappreciatenatureandthebeautyofmusicandarttoastrongerdegreethanno-coldbrains.(容易发冷的大脑通常比不感冒的大脑
