答案和解析1~3.【答案】D、C、B【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据TheHomesteadFestival小标题下Speakerswillsharetheirvastexperienceoflearningtobemoreself-sustaining.Youcanlearnnotonlyhowtostartlearningskillssuchasgrowingyourownfood，buildingafireandraisingchickens，butalsohowtogrowalifefilledwithmeaningandpurpose.（发言者将分享他们学习如何更加自我维持的丰富经验。你不仅可以学习如何开始学习自己种菜、生火和养鸡等技能，还可以学习如何让生活充满意义和目标）可知，参与者将可以学习到基础的生存技能。故选D项。

（2）细节理解题。根据Americanafest小标题下Tickets：Conference+FestivalPass：﹩249（门票：会议+节日通行证：249美元）以及

Please

note：A

Conference+Festival

Pass

allows

you

in

our

schedule.请注意：一个会议+节日通行证允许你有机会接触我们安排中的所有项目。）可知，想要有一个完整的Americanafest活动体验，需要购买"Conference+Festival"门票，价格为249美元。故选C项。

（3）细节理解题。根据TinPanSouthSongwriter'sFestival小标题下内容Overthe5days，10venueshosttwomusicshowsanight，bringinganexperiencelikenoother.（在5天的时间里，10个场馆每晚举办两场音乐表演，带来无与伦比的体验），TheHomesteadFestival小标题下内容Combiningmusicandmeaning，thetwo-dayoutdooraffairfeaturesaward-winninglivemusicaswellasmasterclasslectures.（结合音乐和意义，为期两天的户外活动以获奖的现场音乐以及大师班讲座为特点），Americanafest小标题下内容Americanafestbringstogetherlegendaryartists，fans，andindustryprofessionalsforfivedaysoflivemusicshowsandNashville'smosteducationalmusicindustryforum.（Americanafest汇集了传奇艺术家，粉丝和行业专业人士，为期五天的现场音乐表演和Nashville最具教育意义的音乐产业论坛）以及HazzardFest小标题下内容Theeventfeaturesconcertsfromsomeofthetopnamesincountry，alongwithcomedyshows，acarshowandwrestlingmatches.（这次活动的特色是一些国内知名人士的音乐会，以及喜剧表演、车展和摔跤比赛）可知，四个节日活动的共同点就是都包含音乐表演。故选B项。

本文为应用文。文章主要介绍了本年度田纳西州开展的四个节日活动的相关信息。

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。

4~7.【答案】D、C、B、D【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段中JoseAlbertoGutierrez'slifewouldneverbethesameagainafterfindingacopyofAnnaKareninabyLeoTolstoyinthegarbage20yearsago.Ithappenedwhilehewasdrivinghisgarbagetruckthroughwealthierneighborhoodsatnightandseeingdesertedbooks.Itsparkedhisdesiretostartrescuingbooksfromthegarbage.Hetookhomebetween50and60bookseverymorningafterhisnine-hourshift.Eventually，heturnedhisbookcollectionintoacommunitylibrary.（20年前，JoseAlbertoGutierrez在垃圾堆里发现了一本LeoTolstoy的《安娜•卡列尼娜》，从此他的生活再也不一样了。这件事发生在他晚上开着垃圾车经过富裕社区时，看到了被遗弃的书。这激发了他开始从垃圾中拯救书籍的欲望。在9小时的轮班后，他每天早上带回家50到60本书。最后，他把自己的藏书变成了一个社区图书馆。）可知，JoseAlbertoGutierrez在工作中偶然发现的废弃书籍鼓舞他建立了这个社区图书馆。故选D项。

（2）细节理解题。根据第三段中Nevertheless，hismotherwasakeenreaderandreadstoriestohimeverynight.HerloveforbooksleftadeepimpressiononGutierrez.（然而，他的妈妈是一个热心的读者，并且每天晚上给他读故事。她对书的热爱给Gutierrez留下了深刻的印象）可知，Gutierrez的母亲对书的热爱极大地影响了他。故选C项。

（3）词义猜测题。根据最后一段中HecontinuestosearchthroughbinsforreadingmaterialandhaseventravelledtobookfairsinMexicoandChiletosellhisideaofbuildinglibraryfromunwantedbooks.（他继续在垃圾箱里寻找阅读材料，甚至前往墨西哥和智利的书展，推销他用废弃书籍建造图书馆的想法。）可推知，Gutierrez继续搜罗更多的书，可见他并没有就此停止他的公益行为。因此callitaday意思是"到此为止；停止"。A.Take

the

time"花费时间"；B．Stop

the

work（停止工作）；C．Make

a

change（做出改变）；D．Receive

a

reward（得到回报）。故选B项。

（4）推理判断题。根据第一段中Eventually，heturnedhisbookcollectionintoacommunitylibrary.（最后，他把自己的藏书变成了一个社区图书馆。）以及文章大意可知，因为Gutierrez的善举，使得原本被丢弃的书籍再次发挥它们的作用，成为了家庭贫困的孩子的宝贵财富。A.A

book

holds

a

house

of

gold"书中自有黄金屋"；B.Constant

dropping

wears

the

stone"滴水穿石"；C.Good

things

come

to

those

who

wait"好事多磨"；D.One

man's

trash

is

another

man's

treasure"变废为宝"。因此，D选项最契合文章主题。故选D项。

本文为记叙文。文章讲述了哥伦比亚环卫工人古铁雷斯将富人区被丢弃的书籍带回家，把自己的家变成了一个面向社区开放的图书馆，为低收入家庭的孩子提供阅读的机会的故事。

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。

8~11.【答案】D、A、C、B【解析】（1）目的意图题。根据第一段Maybe

you've

wondered

what

you

would

hear

if

plants

could

speak.A

stream

of

gossip

from

the

roses？Wise

whispering

from

the

branches

of

an

old

tree？A

faint，high-pitched

cry

of

terror

when

your

older

brother

takes

out

the

lawn

mower（割草机）？

（也许你想知道如果植物会说话，你会听到什么。玫瑰花上的流言蜚语？从一棵老树的树枝上发出睿智的低语？当你哥哥拿出割草机时，一声微弱而尖锐的恐怖呼喊？）可知，作者以玫瑰、古树、草地为例，假设如果植物会说话，我们能听到什么，从而引出下文有关植物之间是如何传递信息的研究。故选D。

（2）推理判断题。根据第二段The

center

plant

in

each

row

was

the

target：Scientists

would

stress

out

that

plant

and

see

whether

the

plants

on

either

side

of

it

picked

up

any

alarm

signals.

（每一排的中心植物都是目标：科学家会对该植物进行压力测试，看看它两侧的植物是否收到了任何警报信号。）可知，科学家诺沃普兰斯基主要是通过对目标植物施加压力来进行实验的。故选A。

（3）推理判断题。根据第四段Within

15

minutes，the

dried-out

plant

reacted

the

same

way

it

would

in

nature：it

had

closed

up

the

tiny

pores（气孔）

on

its

leaves

to

save

water.

（在15分钟内，这种干燥的植物的反应与自然界中的反应相同：它关闭了叶子上的小孔以节约用水。）可知，当实验室的豌豆受到干旱威胁时，会像在自然环境里一样，关闭叶子上的气孔以节约水分，这是它们的一种应激反应。故选C。

（4）文章出处题。根据第二段Ariel

Novoplansky，an

ecologist

in

Israel，is

studying

how

plants

communicate

with

each

other.（

以色列生态学家Ariel

Novoplansky正在研究植物如何相互交流。）可知，这篇文章介绍了一项有关植物之间如何交流的实验，因此它应该来自于一本科学期刊。A．A

news

report.新闻报道；B．A

science

journal.科学杂志；C．A

gardening

guide.园艺指南；D．A

business

magazine.一本商业杂志。故选B。

本文是说明文。文章介绍了以色列生态学家阿里尔•诺沃普兰斯基用豌豆进行的一项实验。实验发现，当一株豌豆缺水的时候，与之根系相连的其他豌豆也会出现相同的应激反应。

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。

giant，gas-consuming

heaters.（为了在冬季重现人工春天，农民们在巨大的温室里种植反季节美食，温室里用巨大的耗气加热器加热。）可知，农民们通过在装有巨大高油耗的加热器的温室里展开种植，来实现在冬天培育草莓。故选C。

（2）观点态度题。根据第三段However，according

to

Miller，a

professor

at

the

University

of

Michigan，transportation

of

food

often

has

less

climate

impact

than

the

way

it

is

produced.

"It's

ideal

if

you

can

eat

both

in-season，and

locally，"

she

said，

"so

your

food

is

produced

without

having

to

add

major

energy

consumption."（然而，密歇根大学教授米勒表示，食品运输对气候的影响通常比生产方式小。她说："如果你既能在当季吃，又能在当地吃，那就太理想了，这样你的食物就可以在不增加主要能源消耗的情况下生产出来。"）可知，这些消费者只做到了食用当地产的食物，而忽略了要食用当季的农产品，所以一些购物者的环保尝试做的还是不够的。A．It's

useless.没用的；B．It's

insufficient.这是不够的；C．It's

ideal.很理想的；D．It's

harmful.这是有害的。故选B。

（3）推理判断题。根据第四段Strawberry

varieties

in

Japan

are

now

sold

with

fancy

names

like

Beni

Hoppe

（"red

cheeks，"）

and

（"Bijin

Hime

beautiful

princess"），helping

farmers

fetch

higher

prices.（日本的草莓品种现在以Beni

Hoppe（"红脸颊"）和Bijin

Hime（"美丽的公主"）等花哨的名字出售，帮助农民获得更高的价格。）可知，日本草莓产业通过研究和开发草莓品种，以及精心打造品牌，有效帮助农民提高了草莓价格，从而缓解了生产成本上升带来的压力。故选B。

（4）段落大意题。根据最后一段Tochigi，north

of

Tokyo，has

been

developing

a

new

variety

of

strawberry

called

Tochiaika，which

produces

a

higher

yield

from

the

same

inputs，making

growing

them

more

energy-efficient.Researchers

in

Sendai

have

been

exploring

ways

to

employ

solar

power

to

keep

the

temperature

inside

strawberry

greenhouses

warm.Strawberry

farmer

Ms.Yoshimura

is

working

to

gain

local

recognition

for

her

"unheated

strawberries.It

would

be

nice，"

she

said，

"if

we

could

just

make

strawberries

when

it's

natural

to."（东京北部的Tochigi一直在开发一种名为Tochiaika的新品种草莓，这种草莓在相同的投入下产量更高，使种植更节能。仙台的研究人员一直在探索如何利用太阳能来保持草莓温室内的温度。草莓种植者Yoshimura女士正在努力为她的"未加热"草莓赢得当地的认可。"如果我们能在自然的时候产出草莓，那就太好了，"她说）可知，最后一段介绍了三种日本当地草莓产业的新实践：栃木市在开发一种在相同投入条件下产量更高的草莓新品种，从而提高了种植的能源效率；仙台的研究人员一直在探索利用太阳能来保持草莓温室内温暖的方法；草莓种植农户吉村女士研发出无需在煤油加热的温室种植草莓的技术。这三种实践的共同之处在于，他们均在努力减少草莓种植过程中的能源消耗，即：本段主要讲的是在草莓生产中努力节约能源。A．Benefits

from

organic

farming.有机农业的好处；B．New

studies

of

strawberry

varieties.草莓品种的新研究；C．Attitudes

towards

energy

consumption.对能源消耗的态度；D．Efforts

to

conserve

energy

in

production.在生产中节约能源的努力。故选D。

本文是说明文。文章主要介绍日本农业利用燃烧煤油的温室，逆转了草莓自然生长季节，在冬季培育出了高品质草莓。然而，人们要为食用这些最早、最好的浆果付出高昂的成本。
