答案和解析1~3.【答案】D、B、B【解析】（1）推理判断题。根据第一段Discoversuperheroesofscience，thought-provokingexhibitions，hands-onexperiments，fan-favoriteslikeSportsologyandtheDinosaurs&FossilsGallery，travelingexhibits，andmore，allindowntownSt.Paul.（发现科学的超级英雄，发人深省的展览，动手实验，粉丝最喜欢的体育和恐龙与化石画廊，巡回展览，等等，都在圣保罗市中心。）可知包含"巡回展览"，由此推知，有来自于其他地方的展品，故选D。

（2）细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句DiscountedGeneralExhibitandOmnitheaterticketsforgroupsof15ormorecanbereservedbycallingtheScienceMuseumContactCenterat（651）221-9444.（15人或以上的团体可以通过致电科学博物馆联络中心（651）221-9444预订折扣普通展览和Omni剧院门票。）可知至少要15个人才能预定团体票，故选B。

（3）细节理解题。根据最后一部分SafetyGuidelines的信息："Advancereservationsrequired"可知，参观博物馆所有的游客都要提前预订。A.Bring

a

face

mask.带上口罩；B.Make

a

booking.预订；C.Monitor

the

air

quality.监测空气质量；D.Check

body

temperature.检查体温。故选B。

本文是应用文。文章介绍了团体参观苏达科学博物馆的一些相关信息。

一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。

阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。

二、看题干，带着问题读文章。

首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。

三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。

在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。

四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。

猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。

4~7.【答案】A、C、D、A【解析】（1）段落大意题。根据第一段Several

years

ago，a

cousin

I

had

lost

touch

with

since

I

was

a

teenager

dropped

by

my

house.At

the

living

room

entrance，he

stopped

in

dead

silence，his

eyes

fixed

on

the

bookshelves

covering

the

entire

back

wall.

"Have

you

read

them

all？"

he

asked

me，almost

frightened.

"Yes，"

I

said，

"just

about."

He

shook

his

head

in

silence，as

if

this

was

a

feat

（技艺）

that

had

demanded

some

effort.As

for

him，he

had

had

to

leave

school

at

fourteen，working

wherever

he

could.His

family

did

not

have

books.I

only

ever

recalled

seeing

the

comic

book

Tarzan

lying

around

on

the

table.（几年前，一个我十几岁时就失去联系的表亲来到我家。在客厅门口，他沉默地停了下来，眼睛盯着覆盖整个后墙的书架。"你都读过了吗？"他问我，几乎吓坏了。"是的，"我说，"差不多了。"他默默地摇了摇头，好像这是一个需要努力的壮举。至于他，他十四岁就不得不离开学校，去任何他能去的地方工作。他家没有书。我只记得看过漫画书《泰山》躺在桌子上。）可知，第一段主要阐述的是作者的堂/表兄弟在知道作者差不多读完了整墙的书后感到非常吃惊，故选A。

（2）代词指代题。one作代词时，表示泛指，既可指人，可指物，常用来代替上文出现过的单数名词，以避免重复。根据第二段中"one"所在句的上一句I

often

recall

this

scene

with

my

cousin

with

unease.

（我经常不安地回忆起和表哥的这一场景。）以及下文I

was

between

fifteen

and

eighteen

years

old.I

must

have

blamed

my

father

for

"not

being

interested

in

anything"，for

reading

only

Paris-Normandie，the

local

newspaper.Usually

so

calm

and

tolerant

regarding

the

rudeness

of

his

only

daughter，he

replied

seriously，

"Books

are

good

for

you.But

as

for

me，I

don't

need

them

to

live."（我在十五岁到十八岁之间。我一定责怪父亲"对什么都不感兴趣"，因为他只看当地的《巴黎诺曼底报》。对于独生女的无礼，他通常表现得非常冷静和宽容，他严肃地回答道："书对你有好处。但对我来说，我不需要他们活着。"）可知"It

hides

another

violent

one."中"another

violent

one"指的是作者和父亲就读书产生意见分歧的场景，这个"one"指"一个场景（a

scene）"。A．An

idea.一个想法；B．An

emotion.一种情绪；C．A

scene.一个场景；D．A

relative.一个亲戚。故选C。

（3）细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句Usually

so

calm

and

tolerant

regarding

the

rudeness

of

his

only

daughter，he

replied

seriously，

"Books

are

good

for

you.But

as

for

me，I

don't

need

them

to

live."（对于他唯一的女儿的无礼，他通常是那么冷静和宽容，他严肃地回答说："书对你有好处。但对我来说，我不需要他们活着。"）以及第三段These

words

stretch

across

time，fixed

inside

me，like

a

pain

and

an

unbearable

reality.I

understood

very

well

what

my

father

meant.Reading

Alexander

Dumas，Flaubert，Camus

would

not

have

served

any

practical

purpose

in

his

work

as

a

cafe

owner.On

the

other

hand，in

the

future

he

hoped

for

me，he

vaguely

knew

that

books

held

weight，and

that

they

formed

part

of

a

defining

package

—

"cultural

baggage"

—

that

included

the

theatre，the

opera

and

winter

sports

—

a

superior

social

world.I

understood

all

that

and

it

was

unacceptable.I

refused

to

think

that

the

world

of

books

would

stay

forever

closed

to

the

human

being

who

was

dearest

to

me.（这些话穿越时间，固定在我的内心，就像一种痛苦和无法承受的现实。我非常理解我父亲的意思。读亚历山大•大仲马、福楼拜、加缪的作品对他开咖啡馆的工作没有任何实际意义。另一方面，在他对我的期望中，他隐约知道书籍有分量，它们构成了一个决定性的包裹"文化包袱"包括戏剧、歌剧和冬季运动一个优越的社会世界。我理解这一切，这是不可接受的。我拒绝认为书的世界会永远对我最亲爱的人关闭。）可知，作者不能接受父亲不知道阅读的重要性，不去阅读。故选D。

（4）推理判断题。文章最后一段As

I

think

about

reasons

for

reading，my

father's

words

come

back

to

me

insistently，like

a

personal

and

unsolvable

contradiction.No，to

read

is

not

to

live

but

I

have

always

lived

with

books.（当我思考阅读的理由时，父亲的话不断地浮现在我的脑海中，就像一个无法解决的个人矛盾。不，读书不是为了活着，但我一直与书生活在一起。）可推断，作者接下来会讲述自己的阅读经历以及喜爱阅读的理由。A．Why

the

writer

enjoys

reading

books.为什么作者喜欢读书；B．What

separates

the

writer

from

others.这位作家与众不同的地方；C．What

the

writer's

father

really

meant.作者父亲真正的意思是；D．How

other

conflicts

erupted.其他冲突是如何爆发的。故选A。

本文是一篇记叙文。作者喜爱阅读并且读了很多书，在文章中作者回忆了几年前她的堂/表兄弟知道她差不多读完整面墙的书后非常吃惊的场景，以及作者与父亲在阅读这一问题上的分歧。

一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。

阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。

二、看题干，带着问题读文章。

首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。

在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。

四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。

猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。

8~11.【答案】B、D、C、A【解析】（1）推理判断题。根据第三段itcarriesenormousculturalpowerandhasanunmatchedabilitytoshiftthecourseofnewsandculture.（它承载着巨大的文化力量，具有无与伦比的改变新闻和文化进程的能力。）可知，推特有塑造文化的巨大能力。故选B项。

（3）推理判断题。在最后一段IthinkthisexplainswhyElonMuskmightwanttopaybigmoneyforit.IfyouownTwitter，yousuddenlyhaveasayintheworld'smostimportantwatercoolerconversation.（我认为这解释了为什么埃隆•马斯克可能会为此付出重金。如果你拥有Twitter，你会突然在世界上重要的茶水间谈话中有了发言权。）可知，作者认为埃隆•马斯克出重金购买Twitter是为了有更大的发言权。A.To

（4）标题归纳题。根据第一段LastApril，ElonMusk，theworld'srichestman，attemptedatakeoverofTwitter，for﹩

44billion，whichquicklyturnedintopubliccontroversyandcourtbattles.Butthemostinterestingpartofthestoryisthemorefundamentalquestion：WhywouldMuskwanttobuyTwitterinthefirstplace？（去年4月，世界首富埃隆•马斯克（ElonMusk）试图以440亿美元的价格收购推特（Twitter），此举很快引发了公众争议和法庭诉讼。但故事中有趣的部分是一个更根本的问题：马斯克当初为什么要收购推特？）可知，这篇文章开头说明了埃隆•马斯克斥巨资收购推特的情况，然后引出核心问题："为什么他愿意为推特花大价钱？"。因此A项"为什么推特如此值钱"可以作为文章的最佳标题，吸引读者。故选A项。

本文是说明文。文章主要介绍马斯克当初为什么要重金收购推特（Twitter）。

一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。

阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。

二、看题干，带着问题读文章。

首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。

三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。

在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。

四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。

猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。

12~15.【答案】A、C、B、A【解析】（1）词义猜测题。根据第一段的

"Most

strategies.（哈佛医学院的医学副教授Pieter

Cohen博士说："大多数人只喝一杯水，不摄入维生素会更好。"除了省钱，你还会因为不succumbing

to误导的营销策略的影响而感到满足。）可知，Pieter

Cohen指出其实大多数人只需要喝一杯水就好，不用摄入维生素。由此可知，只有那些不屈服于误导性的营销策略的人，才能从只喝水中获得满足。由此可知，划线词意为"屈服于"，与give

into同义。A．Giving

in

to.屈服于；B．Looking

forward

to.期望；C．Objecting

to.反对；D．Sticking

to.坚持。故选A项。
