【语篇简析】浏览三个划线粗体字标题结合文中的第一段就一句话可知：这是一篇应用文（Buxton游乐场

的宣传海报），主要介绍了三个活动项目。

56.Ifyouwanttotakeanundergounldjourney,whichplaceisthebestchoice?

A.Pole'sCaven.B.PavilionGardens.C.BuxtonMuseum.D.GreenManGallery.

【答案】A

【解析】细节理解题。由Highenergy标题中的”...orjourneybeneaththeearthatPoole'sCavern”可知，在

PooledCavern,可以在地下旅行，也就是乘坐地铁旅行。所以如果你想乘地铁旅行,Poole、Cavern

是你最好的选择。故A选项正确。

57.BuxtonOpenHouse&PavilionArtsCentreisspecialbecauseitoffers.

A.ridesinsmalltrainsB.coursesinmodemarts

C.artisticandculturalactivitiesD.basiccoursesinhorseriding

【答案】C

【解析】细节理解题。由Highminded标题中的“Buxtonisjustifiablyproudofit'sculturallifeandyouwillfind

muchtosuitalltasteswithart,music,opera,andtheperformingartsatBuxtonOperaHouse&

PavilionArtsCenterandGreenManGallery”可知,Buxlon以其丰富的文化生活而自豪；在Buxton

OperaHouse&PavilionArtsCenterandGreenManGallery,您将发现许多适合各种品味的艺术、音

乐、歌剧和表演艺术。所以BuxtonOperaHouse&PavilionArtsCenter特别是因为它提供艺术和

文化活动。故C选项正确。

B

【语篇简析】本篇为说明文。短文第一句”在20世纪60年代,在研究黄石国家公园的火山历史时，鲍勃・克里

斯蒂安森对一些奇怪的事情感到困惑：他找不到公园的火山”提出话题，接着解惑：原来，这儿

的火山并不是像我们大部分人想象的那种圆锥体形状的高耸的样子，而是一个巨大的洞，这个

洞太大了以至于从地面上的任何地方都看不见。

58.WhatpuzzledChristiansenwhenhewasstudyingYellowstone?

A.Itscomplicatedgeographicalfeatures.B.Itsever-lastinginfluenceontourism.

C.Themysterioushistoryofthepark.D.Theexactlocationofthevolcano.

【答案】D

【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句ButChristiansencouldiftfindtheYellowstonevolcanoanywhere.

可知，他困惑的是到处看不到火山。这里转换表达成他困惑的是火山的恰切位置。故选D。

59.Whatdoesthesecond-paragraphmainlytalkabout?

A.Theshapesofvolcanoes.B.Theimpactsofvolcanoes.

C.Theactivitiesofvolcanoes.D.Theheightsofvolcanoes.

【答案】A

【解析】主旨大意题。本段讲述了两种形状的火山，•种是通常人们所理解的由火山岩浆堆积形成的圆锥

体,还有一种极具爆发力的火山，它们会在一个大裂缝中爆裂，留下•个巨大的洞，故选Ao

60.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“blow-up"inthelastparagraphmostprobablymean?

A.Hot-airballoon.B.Digitalcamera.C.Bigphotograph.D.Bird'sview.

【答案】C

【解析】词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句JustatthistimeNASAdecidedtotestsomenewhigh-altitude

camerasbytakingphotographsofYellowstone.Athoughtfulofficialpassedonsomeofthecopiesto

theparkauthoritiesontheassumptionthattheymightmakeaniceblow-upfbroneofthevisitors5

centers.可知,美国国家航空和宇宙航行局为测试一些新的高海拔照相机而拍摄了黄石公园的照

片。一位深思熟虑的官员把其中的一些照片副本转交给了公园管理部门，认为他们可能会将其放

大以供其中一个游客中心展示。故可知，此处意为将照片放大，选Co

【语篇简析】本文属于议论文。作者一开始提出问题：谁在乎人们错误地认为互联网比洗衣机有更重要的

影响？为什么人们对最近的变化印象更深刻这一点很重要？作者接着提出自己的观点：如果

错误的判断仅仅是人们的意见而已，那到没有多大关系。然而，错误的判断会有实际的影响一

导致稀缺资源的使用不当。然后进行具体的论述，最后得出结论：我们不应该一味盲目地追求

最新科技的运用，传统的科技在今天依然占有一席之地。

61.Misjudgmentsontheinfluencesofnewtechnologycanleadto.

A.alackofconfidenceintechnologyB.aslowprogressintechnology

C.aconflictofpublicopinionsD.awasteoflimitedresources

【答案】D

【解析】细节理解题。根据misjudgments定位到第二段：Itwouldnotmatterifthesemisjudgmentswerejust

amatterofpeople'sopinions.However,theyhaverealimpacts,astheyresultinmisguideduseof

scarceresources.可知：如果错误的判断仅仅是人们的意见而已,那到没有多大关系。然而,错误的

判断会有实际的影响导致稀缺资源的使用不当。其中题干中的leadto与原文中的resultin

为同义替换；选项中的limited与原文中的scarce为同义替换。其他三个选项（导致缺乏科技自信

/缓慢的科技发展进程/大众观点的冲突）都不符合原文意思。故选D。

62.TheexampleinParagraph4suggeststhatdonatorsshould.

A.takepeople'sessentialneedsintoaccountB.maketheirprogrammesattractivetopeople

C.ensurethateachchildgetsfinancialsupportD.providemoreaffordableinternetfacilities

【答案】A

【解析】推理判断题。第四段讲的是人们对科技的过度迷恋与观念上的误区使得他们在帮助发展中国家

和贫困地区时在捐助物品上的选择错误。第四行的转折词however后提出捐赠者赠予的电脑与

互联网设备并非是发展中国家最需要的,也许实用性强的产品相对于给每个孩子一台电脑更能帮

助提升人们的生活水平，由第六行的morethan比较关系可以排除D选项；根据这一段主要讲的

内容（捐赠者在捐赠物资上的类型选择，而不是直接捐款）可以排除C选项；由段尾句“many

donatorshaverushedintofancyprogrammeswithoutcarefullyassessingtherelativelong-termcosts

andbenefitsofalternativeusesoftheirmoney.^^可知捐赠者的捐助要考虑到人们的实际需求.故推

断选项A正确。B选项“使得该项目更为吸引人”与题意无关。

63.Whathasledmanygovernmentstoremovenecessaryregulations?

A.Neglectingtheimpactsoftechnologicaladvances.

B.Believingthattheworldhasbecomeborderless.

C.Ignoringthepowerofeconomicdevelopment.

D.Over-emphasizingtheroleofinternationalcommunication.

【答案】B

【解析】推理判断题。由第五段最后一句"Believinginsuchaworld,manygovernmentshaveputanendto

someoftheverynecessaryregulationsoncross-borderflowsofcapital,labourandgoods,withpoor

results."不难看出这道题的重点在于要弄清楚"Believinginsuchaworld,,到底指的是什么。看本

段第一句可知：对于新兴科技的迷恋已经导致人们相信，最近通信和运输科技方面的变化出现如

此彻底的变革，以至于我们现在生活在一个“无国界的世界''里。因此"suchaworld”指的就是“a

borderlessworld”,故选B项（是对以上这句话的同义替换）。其余三个选项（忽略/科技进步的影响

/忽略了经济发展的力量/过度强调国际交流的角色作用）表里不•，没有答在点子上。

64.Whatcanwelearnfromthepassage?

A.Peopleshouldbeencouragedtomakemoredonations.

B.Traditionaltechnologystillhasaplacenowadays.

C.Makingrightcareerchoicesiscrucialtopersonalsuccess.

D.Economicpoliciesshouldfollowtechnologicaltrends.

【答案】B

【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However,ourfascinationwiththelatest,andourundervaluation

ofwhathasalreadybecomecommon,can,andhas,ledusinallsortsofwrongdirections.“可知：对

于最新科技的迷恋,加上我们对于最新流行趋势的低估，可能会并且已经做出了很多错

误的决定。言下之意：我们不应该一味盲目地追求最新科技的运用,也就是B选项所说“传

统的科技在今天依然占有一席之地”。此选项也可以由第三段最后一句：Thisbeliefin

"post-industrialsociety^^hasledthosecountriestoneglecttheirmanufacturingsector■（制造业）with

negativeconsequencesfortheireconomies.（这些国家忽略了传统的制造业，导致对他们经济产

生了负面的影响）得到验证。根据62题的答案可以排除A选项：人们捐钱固然很好，但是仍

然需要理智判断该把钱捐到那些正确的方面上；C选项：作出正确的职业选择对于个人的成功

是关键。这是在偷换概念，对原文的曲解。因为原文的意思是：理解科技趋势对于在个体水

平上做出正确的职业决定很重要（重要的是理解科技趋势，而不是做出正确的职业选择）；D选

项：经济政策应该跟随科技趋势，与C选项错误的原因相一致。

【语篇简析】本文属于记叙文。短文由首句“65岁的古德云被发现患有早期阿尔茨海默氏症，他失去了记忆”

展开了故事的叙述：短文介绍了Steve在患阿兹海默症之际，通过女儿的朋友Naomi的帮助,

最终留下属于自己乐章并在镇子里的教堂进行演出的故事，

65.WhydidMelissawanttosaveherfather'smusic?

A.Hismusiccouldstophisdiseasefromworsening.

B.Shewantedtopleaseherdyingoldfather.

C.Hismusicdeservedtobepreservedinthefamily.

D.Shewantedtomakeherfatheraprofessional.

【答案】c

【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段可知,Steve的专业是学的软件工程，还是一个钢琴的热爱者，是家里唯一

的音乐家，音乐是他真正热爱的东西，尽管没有在家以外的地方弹奏过钢琴。根据第三段Melissa,

hisdaughter,feltitmorethanworthwhiletosavehismusic.可知他的女儿Melissa觉得保存他的音乐

很有价值，故选Co本题容易误选B项（Melissa想取悦她快要死去的老父亲），其实根本目的还是为

了帮助父亲保持住音乐方面的才华来对抗遗忘。

66.AfterhearingSteve'splaying,Naomi.

A.refusedtomakeacommentonitB.wasdeeplyimpressedbyhismusic

C.decidedtofreeStevefromsufferingD.regrettedofferinghelptoherfriend

【答案】B

【解析】推理判断题。根据第十段“itwasbeautiful,"Naomisaidafterlisteningtotherecording.'*themusic

wasworthsaving.”可知，听了录音之后Naomi说很美，值得保存，故可以得出Naomi对Steve的音乐

印象深刻，故选B。

67.HowcantheprocessofSteve'srecordingbedescribed?

A.Itwasslowbutproductive.B.Itwasbeneficialtohishealth.

C.ItwastiresomeforNaomi.D.ItwasvitalfbrNaomi'scareer.

【答案】A

【解析】推理判断题。根据第十二段He'dmovehisfingersclumsilyonthepiano,andthenshe'dtakehisplace.

Hestruggledtoexplainwhatheheardinhishead.以及第十三段SteveandNaomispokeinmusical

code:lines,beats,intervals,movingfromtheroottoendasonginanewkey.Steveheardit.Allofit,

hejustcouldiftplayit.可知,Sieve会笨拙地把手指放在钢琴上，然后Naomi把手指放在他放的地方,

并且Steve努力解释脑海里的内容，所有的这些，都是Naomi在弹奏，而Steve在听，故可知这个录制

过程很慢。根据第十六段Naomimanagedtofigureout16ofSteve'sfavorite,andmostpersonal

songs.可知作品很多。故选A。BD选项是无中生有,文章根本没有提及；C选项中的“tiresome”明

显有误。

68.BeforeStevefinished"MelancholyFlower/*hiswifeJoni.

A.thoughtthemusictalentofStevewasexhaustedB.didn'texpectthedamagethediseasebroughtabout

C.didn'tfullyrealizethevalueofherhusband'smusicD.broughtherhusband'smusiccareertoperfection

【答案】C

【解析】推理判断题。根据第卜六段Jonithoughtthatwouldbetheend.Butitwasn't.以及后文Steve取得的

成就可知在完成MelancholyFlower之前,他的妻子还没完全意识到丈夫的音乐的真正价值，故选

Co本题也可以用排除法解题：根据第15段中（Joni在Steve创作过程中的支持和鼓励）可以排除

A选项（认为Steve的音乐天赋已然耗尽）;B选项（没有预料到疾病会带来的糟糕后果）是无中生有；

D选项（使丈夫的音乐生涯走向完美）是张冠李戴。

69.HowdidStevefeelattheconcertheldindowntownPortland?

A.Hefeltconcernedabouthisillness.B.Hesensedaresponsibilityfbrmusic.

C.Heregainedhisfaithinmusic.D.Hegotintoastateofquiet.

【答案】D

【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Heknewthepathhislifewasnowtaking.Hetoldhisfamilyhewasat

peace.可知,他知道自己一生要选择的路，告诉家人他很平静，故可知,家乡的音乐会让他重新坚定

了对音乐的信念，故选DeA选项（他很担心自己的疾病）无中生有；B选项（他感受到了对音乐有

一份责任感）是过度推断；D选项（他重拾了对音乐的信念）是在文章第14段有所提及，而不是在最

后的Portland音乐会上，所以是张冠李戴。

7O.Whatcanbeasuitabletitleforthepassage?

A.TheKindnessofFriendsB.ThePowerofMusic

C.TheMakingofaMusicianD.TheValueofDetermination

【答案】B

【解析】主旨大意题。本文主要讲述一个钢琴师帮助一个患老年痴呆症的人录制音乐的故事，其录制过程

比较艰苦，但是录制的音乐很成功，也让老人对音乐充满了信心。一句话：音乐是Steve和家人对

抗疾病的力量之源。故B项“音乐的力量”概括了全文内容,是最佳标题。其余三个选项（朋友的善

良/一个音乐家的诞生/决心的价值）都过于片面，不能很好地概况本文主旨大意

56.Howmuchmaytheypayifan11-year-oldgirlandherworkingparentsvisitthemuseum?

A.$12.B.$37.C.$50.D.$62.

【答案】C

【解析】细节理解题。根据admission部分“$25recommendedforadults,$12recommendedforstudents,free

父母去参观博物馆只需付两个成人的票价即25x2=50,故答案为Co

57.TheattractionoftheCloistersmuseumandgardensliesinthefactthat.

A.itopensalltheyearroundB.itscollectionsdatefromtheMiddleAges

C.ithasamodernEuropean-stylegardenD.itsellsexcellentEuropeanglasscollections

【答案】B

【解析】细节理解题。本题可以用排除法轻松搞定答案。A选项问题出在“alltheyearround全年（最后一

行说感恩节、圣诞节和元旦节不开放）”（正误参半）；C选项错在并不是一个公园，也不是现代欧洲

风格的（颠倒是非）：D选项错在不卖藏品（无中生有）。根据TheCloistersMuseumandGardens部

分“theextensivecollectionconsistsofmasterworksinsculpture,coloredglass,andpreciousobjects

fromEuropedatingfromaboutthe9lhtothe15lhcenlury.广泛的收臧品包括雕塑、彩色玻璃和珍贵

物品的杰作,这些艺术品来自欧洲，可追溯到9世纪至15世纪''可以得知,TheCloistersMuseumand

Gardens的吸引人的地方在于它的中古时期的收藏品，故选B。
