4~7.【答案】D、D、B、B【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据第二段After

receiving

an

email

from

a

college

Massachusetts

Institute

of

Technology

（MIT），I

offering

with

the

encouragement

of

my

mom.After

participating

in

that

program，I

knew

that

MIT

was

the

right

university

for

me.（在收到一封来自麻省理工学院的电子邮件后，在我妈妈的鼓励下，我决定申请他们提供的暑期项目。在参加了这个项目之后，我知道MIT是适合我的大学）可知，作者申请麻省理工学院是因为一个署期项目使她爱上了麻省理工学院。故选D。

（2）推理判断题。根据第三段开头句The

most

exciting

and

fulfilling

part

of

being

an

engineer

is

that

I

am

able

to

work

on

projects

that

benefit

humanity.（作为一名工程师，最令人兴奋和满足的部分是我能够从事有益于人类的项目）以及"What

they

may

not

imagine

is

the

great

body

of

work

being

done

to

study

our

own

home-Earth.I

am

thankful

to

have

a

career

that

allows

me

to

commit

remembered

for

its

historic

contributions，what

will

remember

it

for

is

（4）推理判断题。根据最后一段I

realized

that

a

common

theme

of

hero

stories

is

that

本文是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了作者是一名工程师，工作包括规划、制作和操作飞行中的科学仪器。作者为自己从事有益于人类的项目而感到感激和满足。

阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释。考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点。

8~10.【答案】D、C、D【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据第二段At

the

2022

Consumer

Electronics

Show，a

famous

car

company

showcased

a

concept

car

that

can

change

colors.The

surface

coating

of

this

car

features

e-ink

that

is

most

well-known

from

the

displays

of

e-readers.It

contains

many

millions

of

micro-capsules，each

of

which

contains

negatively

charged

white

pigments（颜料）

and

positively

charged

black

pigments.Depending

on

the

chosen

setting，stimulation

by

means

of

an

electrical

field

causes

either

the

white

or

the

black

pigments

to

collect

at

the

surface

of

the

micro-capsule，giving

the

car

body

the

desired

shade.（在2022年国际消费电子展上，一家著名汽车公司展示了一款可以变色的概念车。这辆车的表面涂层具有电子墨水，这是最著名的电子阅读器显示器。它包含数百万个微胶囊，每个微胶囊都含有带负电的白色色素和带正电的黑色色素。根据所选择的设置，电场的刺激会使白色或黑色颜料聚集在微胶囊的表面，从而使车身呈现出所需的阴影。）可知，这款概念车之所以能变色，主要是因为带电颜料的聚集，故选D。

（2）细节理解题。根据第三段Thecolorchosenforacarisanexpressionofthedriver'spersonalities.Itoffersacompletelynewwayofchangingthevehicle'sappearanceinlinewiththedriver'spreferences，theenvironmentalconditionsorevenfunctionalrequirements.（汽车的颜色是司机个性的体现。它提供了一种全新的方式，可以根据驾驶员的喜好、环境条件甚至功能要求来改变车辆的外观。）以及第四段Avariableexteriorcolorcancontributetoenergysavingandwellnessintheinterior.（一个可变的外部颜色可以有助于节能和健康的内部。）可知，变色车可以彰显个性，提高汽车性能。故选C。

（3）标题归纳题。根据第一段Last

November，a

magazine

with

great

influence

revealed

its

annual

list

of

the

Best

Inventions，which

are

changing

how

we

live，work，play，and

think

about

what's

possible.One

of

these

inventions

was

the"color

changing

car".（去年11月，一家极具影响力的杂志公布了年度最佳发明名单，这些发明正在改变我们的生活、工作、娱乐和思考可能发生的事情。其中一项发明是"变色车"。）可知，文章主要介绍了一款变色车，说明了其会变色背后的原理以及这种车的好处。可知，D.New

Invention

of

Cars：Tailored

Exterior.（汽车的新发明：定制的外观。）最符合文章标题。故选D。

本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一款变色车，说明了其会变色背后的原理以及这种车的好处。

做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。

11~14.【答案】B、C、B、A【解析】（1）段落大意题。根据文章第三段All

plants

experience

photosynthesis（光合作用），where

sunlight，water，and

CO2

are

transformed

into

glucose

and

oxygen.However，almost

all

trees

release

a

poisonous

substance

in

the

process.To

remove

this

substance，trees

must

use

up

newly-produced

energy

in

another

step

known

as

photo-respiration（光呼吸作用），which

does

not

produce

any

energy

and

releases

CO2

back

into

the

atmosphere.To

prevent

plants

from

wasting

their

energy，the

biotechnology

firm

engineered

their

poplar

trees

with

genes

found

in

green

algae.First

tested

in

tobacco

plants，the

foreign

genes

change

the

poisonous

substance

produced

by

trees

into

sugars，so

that

more

energy

can

be

used

for

removing

carbon

and

tree

growth.（所有植物都经历光合作用，阳光、水和二氧化碳被转化为葡萄糖和氧气。然而，几乎所有的树木在这个过程中都释放出一种有毒物质。为了清除这种物质，树木必须在另一个被称为光呼吸的步骤中耗尽新产生的能量，光呼吸不产生任何能量，并将二氧化碳释放回大气中。为了防止植物浪费能量，这家生物技术公司用绿藻中发现的基因改造了他们的杨树。首先在烟草植物中试验，外来基因将树木产生的有毒物质转化为糖，这样更多的能量可以用于清除碳和树木生长。）可知第三段主要是关于工程树木背后的基本思想。故选B。

（2）猜测词义题。根据文章倒数第二段Many

sustainable

forestry

organizations

have

also

banned

engineered

trees

from

being

planted

in

forests.The

Global

Justice

Ecology

Project

argued

that

these

trees

could

interfere

with

efforts

to

protect

and

regenerate

forests.（许多可持续林业组织也禁止在森林中种植工程树木。全球正义生态项目认为，这些树木可能会干扰保护和再生森林的努力。）可知interferewith的意思是"干扰"。A.Save.拯救；B.Measure.测量；C.Interrupt.干扰；D.Strengthen.加强。故选C。

（3）推理判断题。根据文章最后一段Though

regarding

genetically

poplar

trees，one

thing

is

for

sure：they

hold

the

potential

to

in

our

at

a

is

certainly

an

approach

to

the

ongoing

climate

crisis.（尽管对于转基因杨树可能会有反对意见，但有一点是肯定的：它们有潜力以更快的速度降低我们环境中的温室气体。这家公司的尝试无疑是应对当前气候危机的一种创新方法。）可知工程杨树吸收二氧化碳的潜力超过了人们的担忧。故选B。

（4）目的意图题。根据文章第一段Do
