参考答案第一部分第一节A【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了与人类行为相似的一些动物。细节理解题。由Horsesarepickyeaters中的“…theirnervoussystemallowsthemtosensesmellswecan’tsense.Thismightexplainwhytheyrefusedirtywaterandcarefullymovearoundmeadows,eatingonlythetastiestgrass…”可知,它们的神经系统能让它们感觉到我们人类感觉不到的气味。这或许可以解释它们为什么拒绝饮用脏水,在草地上小心翼翼地走动,只吃最美味的草。所以马是靠嗅觉来挑选最美味的草。故选B。细节理解题。由Pandasliketobenaughty中的“Pandasareshybynatureforitsshybehaviourssuchascoveringitsfacewithapawofduckingitsheadwhenconfrontedbyastranger.”可知,熊猫天生害羞,它们有害羞的动作,比如在遇到陌生人时,用爪子遮住脸,低着头。所以熊猫遇到陌生人时会害羞。故选C。推理判断题。由Whalesaysthanks中的“Afterward,inanhour-longdisplayofthanks,thewhaleswamneartheirboatandleapedintotheairabout40times.”和Acathonoursitsowner中的“…adevotedthree-year-oldgrey-and-whitecat,hasplacedonhisformerownerIozzelliRenzo’sgraveeverydaysincethemandiedinSeptember2011.”可知,鲸鱼和猫的共同特点是它们都有一颗感恩的心。故选A。B【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了兄妹俩在了解到猎豹可能会灭绝的事实后,通过自己的方式成立组织来号召人们关心濒危动物,鼓励他们从小事做起,来帮助濒危动物。他们相信任何人都可以为濒危动物出一份力。细节理解题。根据第二段的“‘WhenmysisterandIfirstlearnedbackin2009thatspecieslikethecheetahmaybeextinctinthewildbythetimewehavekids,itscaredus.’”和“‘OliviaandIwanttomakesurewereachasmanypeoplearoundtheworldaspossibleandhelpthemtounderstandhowseriousthesituationreallyis.’”可知,当Olivia和Carter知道猎豹可能会灭绝时他们很震惊,也很担心,想要尽自己的力量来帮助它们。shockedandconcerned(震惊和担心)符合以上说法,故选B。词义猜测题。根据第二和第三段可知,Olivia和她的哥哥想让世界上尽可能多的人知道濒危动物现在的处境相当糟糕。为了做到这一点,这两个孩子成立了一个名叫OneMoreGeneration的组织。结合句意可知,画线词是指代上文提到的“让世界上尽可能多的人明白濒危动物现在的处境相当糟糕”。故选C。细节理解题。根据第四段的主要内容,尤其是“Allthatthey’veaccomplishedforanimalsandtheenvironmentismuchtoolongtolist!”可知,本段主要讲述了Olivia和Carter为濒危动物和环境做了很多事情。故选D。推理判断题。根据最后一段的“‘Ournumberonemessagetoeveryonewemeetis“Remember,anyonecanmakeadifference;ifwecan,youcantoo”…’”和“Youcanstartsmallbysimplyadoptingananimal.”可推测,Olivia的话表明了任何人都可以从小事做起来帮助濒危动物。故选A。C【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了有研究发现接触有害化学物质会导致儿童的智商下降。细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Overtheperiod,flameretardants,resultedin738,860casesofintellectualdisabilityandanestimated162millionlostIQpoints,followedbyleadat330,684cases,pesticidesat111,830,andmercuryat8,860.”可知,在此期间,阻燃剂导致738860例(儿童)智力障碍,约亿(儿童)智商下降,其次是铅导致330684例(儿童)智力障碍,农药导致111830例(儿童)智力障碍,汞导致8860例(儿童)智力障碍,由此可知,阻燃剂是导致儿童智商下降最严重的化学物质,故选A。推理判断题。通读全文特别是根据第一段内容可知,本文主要介绍的是有研究发现接触阻燃剂、杀虫剂、铅和汞等化学物质会导致儿童智力下降,这属于科学范畴,因此文章最有可能来自科学杂志,故选C。细节理解题。根据第五段中“Theresearchersacknowledgedlimitationstotheirstudy,includingthattheexposure-responserelationshipsmightnotrelatetoallpopulations.”可知,研究人员承认他们的研究存在局限性,包括这种暴露与反应的关系可能并不适用于所有人群,由此可知,这项研究的缺点是它只涵盖了部分人群,故选C。主旨大意题。通读全文,特别是根据第一段内容可知,一项研究显示,在过去20年里,超过100万儿童在接触了阻燃剂、杀虫剂、铅和汞等化学物质后出现了某种形式的智力障碍,因此文章主要介绍的是有研究发现接触阻燃剂、杀虫剂、铅和汞等化学物质会导致儿童智力下降,故选D。D【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了由于海龟寿命很长,人们对于海龟面临灭绝这件事没有给予重视。以斯宾塞为首的科研团队正在努力保护它们,他们发表论文作为警告,他们认为保护海龟还需要政府和社区的努力。细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“‘Theproblemisthatthelonglifeofturtlesmakespeopleunabletosensetheseriousnessofthesituation,’…(问题是海龟的长寿使人们无法意识到问题的严重性……)”可知,对于海龟寿命长的认知使人类没有意识到海龟正处于危险时期。故选B项。细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“Spencerandhisworkmatesblamethelossesoncontinuingnestpredation(捕食)byfoxes,accompaniedbyotherproblems,includingaworseandworseenvironmentandseriousdrought(干旱)inthe2000s.(斯宾塞和他的同事们将海龟的消失归咎于狐狸对海龟巢穴的持续捕食,以及其他问题,包括2000年以来越来越糟糕的环境和严重的干旱)”可知,海龟面临的最大危机是狐狸对它们的捕食。故选A项。推理判断题。根据文章第三段内容“‘Thispaperisawake-upcallthatunlesswebegintodosomethingaboutturtleprotection,wemayloseanattractivepartofournativecreatures.’(这篇论文敲响了警钟,除非我们开始采取措施保护海龟,否则我们可能会失去本土生物中一个有吸引力的部分)”可知,RickShine认为这是一个警钟。故选B项。细节理解题。根据文章末段内容“‘Ournextstepistostartdesigningcommunityprotectioneffortsforcommonturtlespecies,’heexplains,‘sopeoplecanactuallydothingswithouthavingtowaitforthegovernment’ssupport.’(‘我们的下一步是要开始为普通的海龟物种设计社区保护措施,’他解释说,‘这样人们就可以不需要等待政府的支持来做事情了’)”可知,社区下一步有可能采取措施保护海龟。C项“Communityprotectioneffortstoprotectturtleswillstartsoon.(社区保护海龟的工作将很快开始。)”论述正确。故选C项。第二节【文章大意】本文就在生活中如何做到可持续发展提出了几条建议。第一段为一个概括段落,上文说这种改变不一定是令人疲惫的活动,由此可知做一些简单容易的事情就有助于可持续发展,故选E。根据空格后的“Byusingsolarenergy,youwillmakeyourhomefarmoresustainable.”以及该空格所在位置为段首可知A项能概括本段段意,故选A项。该段主要谈到改变喝水的习惯,上文提到如果你做这样的计算,你会发现一年中使用的一次性塑料瓶的数量达到了三位数,所以空格处的内容是,这样喝水可能快捷方便,可是这不是可持续发展的做法,故选G。根据下文“…thesetypesofstraws…”可知,此处是提出不要使用塑料吸管,故选F。该部分谈到的是交通方面的可持续发展的做法,D项指出,你可以拼车,你还可以乘坐公共交通工具,故D项符合题意。第二部分第一节【文章大意】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者的孩子给作者送了一台咖啡机,做咖啡的经历使作者领悟到要减慢生活的节奏,这样可以滋养我们的灵魂,帮助我们享受世界上的小乐趣,认识到生活的真谛。根据上文“Lastyear,Ireceivedaspecialpresent.”可知,咖啡机是孩子们送给“我”的。此处gift为动词,意为“赠送”。作者喜欢每天早上喝咖啡,因此是迫不及待想用。can’twaittodosth意为“迫不及待做某事”。故选B。根据语境可知,当“我”第一次倒咖啡时,咖啡洒了一桌子,此处需用as引导时间状语从句。根据上文“…thecoffeespilled(洒出)alloverthetable.”可知,咖啡洒在桌子上,“我”应该是失望的(disappointed)。结合上下文可知,“我”一直尽力不把咖啡洒出来,但每天早上还是会看到“我”在擦(桌子上的)咖啡。此处用would表示过去经常发生的事情。根据下文“Mynormal…wastorushthroughbreakfasttogetonwithmyday.”可知,作者早上总是很匆忙,导致咖啡洒了出来,因此此处是指作者意识到慢慢(slowly)倒就不会洒了。故选C。作者做事很着急,他通常的做法是匆匆吃完早餐,开始新的一天。practice意为“惯例”。但最终“我”不仅学会了倒咖啡,还学会了享受(enjoy)新的一天的味道和安静。这件事促使“我”反思,“我”是否在生活的其他领域中也匆忙行事。reflectupon意为“思考,深思”。所以“我”开始去欣赏生活中那些最平凡的时刻。ordinary意为“普通的,平凡的”。根据上文语境可知,作者学会了让自己慢下来,此处是举例,当店主为让“我”久等而道歉时,“我”会说,没问题,“我”不赶时间(inahurry)。根据句意和句中“…wehadknowneachotherforalongtime.”可知,“我”甚至喜欢坐在房子前面和陌生人(stranger)聊天,分享我们自己的故事,就好像我们已经认识很长时间了。根据对语境的理解可知,此处是指“我”和陌生人交
