D.Toexplorefontandreadingdifficulty.【答案】8.D9.C10.A11.C【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在我们的阅读过程中，字体在我们阅读时的认知过程中也起着重要作用。【8题详解】主旨大意。根据文章第二段“Afont’simpactonthewayyoulearnandkeepinformationmightbehardtonoticeconsciously,butyourbrainiscertainlytunedin.Perhapssurprisingly,hard-to-readfontssuchasBodoniorComicSansorarebetterforpreservinginformationthanfontslikeArialorTimesNewRoman.Participantsrecalledmoreinformationfromthematerialtheyreadwhenitwaspresentedinafontthatwasdifficulttoread,accordingtoa2010study.(一种字体对你学习和保存信息的方式的影响可能很难有意识地注意到，但你的大脑肯定会注意到。也许令人惊讶的是，难以阅读的字体，如Bodoni或ComicSansor，比Arial或TimesNewRoman等字体更能保存信息。根据2010年的一项研究，当阅读材料以一种难以阅读的字体呈现时，参与者从阅读材料中回忆起更多的信息)”可知，第二段主要讲述的是字体对于人们回忆文本方面所产生的影响。故选D。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Experimentshavedemonstratedarelationshipbetweenfontsizeandmemory:largefontitemsmaypredicthigherrecallregardlessofstyle,butverysmallfontsizescanalsointroduceadesirabledifficulty.(实验已经证明了字体大小和记忆之间的关系：无论字体大小如何，大字体项目可能预示着更高的记忆，但非常小的字体大小也可能带来预计的难度)”可知，字体越大预示着越高的记忆。故选C。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Researchersfoundthatboldedtexthasahigherrecallthantextinitalicorregularstyles,regardlessofthefontsize.However,ifanentiredocumentisbolded,theemphasisislost,andreaderscannolongerspotvitalpassages.(研究人员发现，无论字体大小如何，粗体文本的记忆率都高于斜体或普通字体。然而，如果整个文档都加粗，重点就会丢失，读者也就找不到重要的段落了)”可知，无论字体大小，粗体文本的记忆率都高于斜体或普通字体，但是如果整个文档都加粗，就不会有同样的效果。由此推知，在规划文本时，我们不可以将这个文本加粗。故选A。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Althoughprintingdesignisoverlookedbymostofus,it’scrucialinmakingtextsclear,readableandappealingforaudiences.Beyondthevisualaspect,researchshowsthatfontsplayasignificantroleinthecognitive(认知的)processeswhileweread.Afont’simpactonthewayyoulearnandkeepinformationmightbehardtonoticeconsciously,butyourbrainiscertainlytunedin.(虽然印刷设计被我们大多数人所忽视，但它对于使文本清晰、易读和吸引观众至关重要。研究表明，除了视觉方面，字体在我们阅读时的认知过程中也起着重要作用。一种字体对你学习和保存信息的方式的影响可能很难有意识地注意到，但你的大脑肯定会注意到)”以及全文内容可推知，文章主要目的是介绍字体对阅读的影响。故选C。DArielNovoplansky,anecologistinIsrael,setupanexperimentamongpeaplantstostudyhowtheycommunicatewitheachother.IntheexperimentsArielputthepeaplantsinrowsofcontainers.Thecenterplantintherowwasthetarget.Thepeaplantshadbeengrownwithtwomainroots.Ononeside,eachpeaplanthadonerootinitsownpotandtheotherreachingintoaneighbor’spot.Thecentralplantconnectedtoitsclosestneighbor,whichconnectedtoanotherneighbor,andsoondowntheline.Ontheotherside,alltheplantskepttheirrootsintheirownpots,unconnectedtotheirneighbors.Witheverythingready,theecologistcreatedadrynessforthecentraltargetplant,whichhadquicklyclosedupitsleafpores(气孔)tosavewater.Amazingly,theconnectedplantsononesidegraduallycloseduptheirleafpores,eventhoughonlyoneofthemhadexperiencedrealdryness.Ontheotherside,withunconnectedrootspeachain,alltheirporesstayedopen.Thismeansthewarningsignaldidn’ttravelfromthestressedplantsleavesthroughtheair,butonlyfromitsrootsthroughthesoil.It’spossiblethatplantsarejusteavesdropping(偷听)evenifthedamagedplantdidn’tmeantosendsignalstothem.Maybethedamagedplantleakscertainchemicalsandnearbyrootscouldsensethosesignals.Buttheplantswithconnectedrootsthatweren’tdriedoutpassedonthedroughtsignalstotheirneighborstoo,whichmeanssimpleeavesdroppingprobablyisn’ttheanswer.Theyseemtobehavingarealconversation,pickingupinformationononesideandsharingitwithaneighborontheother.Thebenefittoaplantthatreceivesthisinformationisprettyclear.Butwhat’sthebenefittosendingadangersignaltoyourneigbour?Remember,yourneighbormayactuallybeyou.12.WhichaspectoftheexperimentdoesParagraph2mainlyconcern?AItsfinding.

D.Tokeepitselfsafe.【答案】12.D13.A14.B15.D【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现，该研究表明了豌豆植物之间是如何进行交流的。【12题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容“Intheexperiments,Arielputthepeaplantsinrowsofcontainers.Thecenterplantintherowwasthetarget.Thepeaplantshadbeengrownwithtwomainroots.Ononeside,eachpeaplanthadonerootinitsownpotandtheotherreachingintoaneighbor’spot.Thecentralplantconnectedtoitsclosestneighbor,whichconnectedtoanotherneighbor,andsoondowntheline.Ontheotherside,alltheplantskepttheirrootsintheirownpots,unconnectedtotheirneighbors.(在实验中，Ariel把豌豆植物放在一排排的容器中。排在中间的植物是目标。豌豆长着两根主根。在一边，每棵豌豆都有一根在自己的花盆里，另一根伸向邻居的花盆里。中央的豌豆连着最近的邻居，邻居又连着另一个邻居，以此类推。在另一边，所有的植物都把根放在自己的花盆里，与周围的植物没有联系。)”可知，第二段主要介绍了该实验的设计。故选D。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Thismeansthewarningsignaldidn’ttravelfromthestressedplantsleavesthroughtheair,butonlyfromitsrootsthroughthesoil.(这意味着警告信号不是通过空气从受胁迫的植物的叶子传播，而是通过土壤从植物的根传播。)”可知，实验中，豌豆植物是通过根部传播信息的。故选A。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Buttheplantswithconnectedrootsthatweren’tdriedoutpassedonthedroughtsignalstotheirneighborstoo,whichmeanssimpleeavesdroppingprobablyisn’ttheanswer.Theyseemtobehavingarealconversation,pickingupinformationononesideandsharingitwithaneighborontheother.(但是根部相连的植物也会将干旱信号传递给它们的邻居，这意味着简单的窃听可能不是答案。他们似乎在进行真正的对话，一边收集信息，另一边与邻居分享。)”可推断，植物之间的交流一边收集信息，一边与邻居分享，是一种合作的关系。故选B。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Thebenefittoaplantthatreceivesthisinformationisprettyclear.Butwhat’sthebenefittosendingadangersignaltoyourneigbour?Remember,yourneighbormayactuallybeyou.(植物接收到这些信息的好处是显而易见的。但是向邻居发出危险信号有什么好处呢？记住，你的邻居可能就是你自己。)”可推断，作者的意思是，植物向邻居发出危险信号对邻居的是有好处的，但所谓助人就是助己，邻居安全植物自己也就安全了。故选D。第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Involvementinactivitiesoutsideofschoolworkmakeshighschoolalotmoreinterestingandfun.____16____Throughextracurricularactivities,youcandevelopimportantskills,suchasteamwork,publicspeaking,creativity,leadership,andself-awareness.Thefirststepistoexplore.____17____Whileyoucan’tdoeverything,trytogetinvolvedinasmanyclubs,teams,andactivitiesthatyoufindinteresting.Thereisnotarequiredone-size-fits-alllistofactivities.Whatmattersisthatyoufindclubsandprogramsthatinterestyou!Youwon’tknowifyoulikesomethingifyoudon’ttryit.____18____Forexample,ifyouthinkyoumightbeinterestedinearningabusinessdegree,findoutifyourhighschoolhasafinancialassociation.Ifyouthinkyou’dlikeacareerinpolitics,checktoseeifyourhighschoolhasaModelUniteNationsproject.Whileyouwanttoappear“wellrounded,”itisimportantthatyoudon’ttakeontoomuch.____19____Itcanbehelpfultoseefreshmanyearasthetimetotryalotofthings.Inyoursophomoreyear,youcanbeginlimitingyourinvolvementtoyourmostimportantactivities.Thiswillallowyoutospendmoretimeonfewerthings.____20____Developitintoatruepassionandtrytobeanexpertinit.Thisiswhatmakesyouuniqueandallowsyoutoshineonacollegeapplicationorqualifyforascholarship.A.Bearinmindwhatismostimportanttoyou.B.Youmayfeelithardtomakechoicesattheverybeginning.C.Participateinvariousextracurricularactivitieswithinterest.D.Asyoustarthighschool,youwillfindyouhavemanynewopportunities.E.Allowyourselfenoughtimetodowellintheactivitiesyoucareaboutmost.F.Theseactivitieshelpyougainabilitiesyoucouldn’tlearnthroughtextbooksandtestsaloneG.Keepaneyeoutforclubsthatmayspecificallyhelpyouprepareforaparticularcollegemajor.【答案】16.F17.D18.G19.E20.A【解析】【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了高中阶段参加课外社团活动的意义，以及一些相关的建议。【16题详解】根据上文“Involvementinactivitiesoutsideofschoolworkmakeshighschoolalotmoreinterestingandfun.(参与课外活动使高中生活更加有趣和快乐)”可知，本文话题为课外活动，上文提及参与课外活动带来的好处，下文“Throughextracurricularactivities,youcandevelopimportantskills,suchasteamwork,publicspeaking,creativity,leadership,andself-awareness.(通过课外活动，你可以培养重要的技能，比如团队合作、公众演讲、创造力、领导能力和自我意识。)”，下文具体列举了参与课外活动所能培养的技能，F项“Theseactivitieshelpyougainabilitiesyoucouldn’tlearnthroughtextbooksandtestsalone(这些活动可以帮助你获得仅通过课本和考试无法学到的能力)”，其中的Theseactivities呼应上文的activitiesoutsideofschoolwork，而下文则顺接F项中的abilitiesyoucouldn’tlearnthroughtextbooksandtestsalone，上下文衔接连贯顺畅，故选F项。【17题详解】本段首句“Thefirststepistoexplore.(第一步是探索。)”，下文“Whileyoucan’tdoeverything,trytogetinvolvedinasmanyclubs,teams,andactivitiesthatyoufindinteresting.Thereisnotarequiredone-size-fits-alllistofactivities.Whatmattersisthatyoufindclubsandprogramsthatinterestyou!(虽然你不可能什么都做，但尽量多参加一些你感兴趣的社团、团队和活动。并不需要一个放之四海而皆准的活动列表。重要的是你找到了你感兴趣的社团和项目！)”可知，课外活动可以是参加感兴趣的社团，D项“Asyoustarthighschool,youwillfindyouhavemanynewopportunities.(当你开始上高中时，你会发现你有很多新的机会。)”，句中的manynewopportunities呼应首句中的explore，这个课外活动的探索在高一时就开始了，且机会多多，这个阶段可以参加多个感兴趣的社团，上下文衔接连贯，故选D项。【18题详解】根据上文“Youwon’tknowifyoulikesomethingifyoudon’ttryit.(如果你不去尝试，你就不知道你是否喜欢它。)”，下文“Forexample,ifyouthinkyoumightbeinterestedinearningabusinessdegree,findoutifyourhighschoolhasafinancialassociation.Ifyouthinkyou’dlikeacareerinpolitics,checktoseeifyourhighschoolhasaModelUniteNationsproject.(例如，如果你认为你可能对获得商业学位感兴趣，看看你的高中是否有金融协会。如果你想从政，看看你的高中是否有模拟联合国项目。)”可知，可以通过高中阶段的社团活动去接触一些自己可能感兴趣的，针对大学专业、未来职业的社团活动，通过尝试这些活动来确认自己是否喜欢，G项“Keepaneyeoutforclubsthatmayspecificallyhelpyouprepareforaparticularcollegemajor.(留意那些专门帮助你为某一大学专业做准备的社团。)”，下文通过举例的方式，对G项进行解释，参加这些社团，可以提前确认自己是否喜欢这些专业，上下文衔接连贯，故选G项。【19题详解】根据上文“Whileyouwanttoappear‘wellrounded,’itisimportantthatyoudon’ttakeontoomuch(虽然你想让自己看起来“全面发展”，但重要的是不要承担太多。)”可知，不要选择太多的课外社团活动，下文“Itcanbehelpfultoseefreshmanyearasthetimetotryalotofthings.Inyoursophomoreyear,youcanbeginlimitingyourinvolvementtoyourmostimportantactivities.Thiswillallowyoutospendmoretimeonfewerthings.(把高一看作是尝试很多事情的时候是很有帮助的。在高二的时候，你可以开始把你的活动限制在最重要的活动上。这会让你把更多的时间花在更少的事情上。)”可知，高二开始，要关注最重要的活动，而不是把时间、精力分散在不重要的活动中，E项“Allowyourselfenoughtimetodowellintheactivitiesyoucareaboutmost.(给自己足够的时间把自己最关心的事情做好。)”可知，E项承接上文，不参与不重要的社团课外活动，才能使自己有足够的时间去做自己最关心的事，E项与下文spendmoretimeonfewerthings呼应，上下文衔接连贯，故选E项。【20题详解】下文“Developitintoatruepassionandtrytobeanexpertinit.Thisiswhatmakesyouuniqueandallowsyoutoshineonacollegeapplicationorqualifyforascholarship.(把它培养成一种真正热衷的爱好，并努力成为这方面的专家。这让你与众不同，让你在大学申请中脱颖而出，或者有资格获得奖学金。)”可知，通过课外活动使自己有特长，A项“Bearinmindwhatismostimportanttoyou.(记住对你来说最重要的是什么。)”，下文的it即指代A项中的whatismostimportanttoyou，时刻记住自己在课外活动中需要获得什么技能，并把它培养成为自己的爱好，可以增加自己在大学申请时的优势，上下文衔接连贯。故选A项。第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。ThefutureisburningbrightforSmellofLoveCandlesandits12-year-oldCEO.After____21____thebusinessinhisfamily’skitchenabouttwoyearsago,Alejandrowillbringhiscandlestoaworld-famousshoppingmallnextweek.The____22____forSmellofLovecametoAlejandroin2019whenhediscoveredhismom’sheadhurtfromthesmellofthecandlesshe____23____.Despitelovingcandlesverymuch,shehadnochoicebutto____24____them.Unwillingtoseehismom____25____,Alejandrostartedtestingalternativesthatwouldbe____26____tomakecandles.Tohisdelight,thefirstproductwasa____27____withhismomandherheadachedisappeared.Afterdecidingtoformabusiness,Alejandrostartedbrainstormingpotential____28____.“Yousmellcandles,andtheybringjoyandloveintoyourhome,sowhydon’twecallthem‘SmellofLoveCandles’?”hesaid.“Thenametrulygoeswithhis____29____,”saidhismom.“Bringinghappinesstoothershasbeenabig_____30_____ineverythinghedoes.”NowAlejandrobecomesthe_____31_____standownerofthenation’smostpopularshoppingmall.“WeareveryexcitedtosupportAlejandrowiththeopportunityto_____32_____hisSmellofLovecandles,”saysthemanager.“Thisisthefirsttimethatwehaverentedaplacetoakidand_____33_____itwillinspiremorekidstofollowtheir_____34_____.”Alejandro’sbusinessisdoingwell,andhe’smakingmoney.Besidessavingforschool,hedonatestocharitiesmonthly.ToAlejandro,_____35_____isn’tonlyaboutmakingmoney.It’saboutspreadingloveandhelpingothers.21.A.learning
