【分析】

本文是说明文。Zawawi博士指出在正常情况下，暂时性听力损伤，72小时内可以修复。

如果症状在最初的72小时内不被逆转，将会是永久性的损伤。研究人员通过实验表明，

咖啡因可能是导致听力无法恢复的原因。

4.细节理解题。根据第一段“undernormalcircumstancesthebodytypicallyisabletorepair

thelossofhearingwithin72hours.（在正常情况下,身体通常能够在72小时内修复听力

损失。）"和"Duetofindingsinpreviousstudiesaboutit,Zawawisaysthattheteamof

researchershassuspectedthatsomethingmaystopthisrepairprocess（Zawawi说，根据之

前的研究发现，研究小组怀疑可能有什么东西阻止了这种修复过程）”可知，根据以前

的研究结果，研究小组怀疑某种东西可能会阻止这种修复过程。于是研究小组决定进行

研究。故选B。

5.细节理解题。根据第一段“whenapersonisexposedtoloudnoisesitcancauseshort-term

hearinglossbutthatundernormalcircumstancesthebodytypicallyisabletorepairtheloss

ofhearingwithin72hours”可知，当一个人暴露在巨大的噪音中，可能会导致短期的听力

损失，但在正常情况下，身体通常能够在72小时内修复听力损失。由此可知，Zawawi

认为在正常情况下，暂时性听力受损在3天内可以恢复。故选D。

6.细节理解题。根据第三段“theresearchersconcludedthatcaffeineisalikelycontributing

causetopermanenthearingloss”可知，研究人员得出结论：咖啡因可能导致永久性听力

损伤，使听力无法恢复。故选C。

7.推理判断题。根据第三段“Althoughfurtherresearchisrequiredtounderstandtheeffecton

humans,theresultsarepromising”可知I,虽然还需要进一步的研究来了解其对人类的影响,

但研究结果是有希望的。由此可知，Zawawi认为该项研究几乎是成功的。故选D。

【分析】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了闲聊是人类交往互动的第一步，能够是人类跨越许多

社交障碍，深入的交谈能与我们与其他人建立持久的联系，形成宝贵的友谊，使我们的

生活充满活力，友谊从闲聊开始，着重描述了闲聊的意义。

8.主旨大意题。根据第一段“ButdespitebeingevidentandoftenpainfUHydull,smalltalk

hasanimportantroletofulfil,enablingustoleapoveranumberofsocialobstaclestowards

improved,meaningfulinteraction.（不过，尽管闲聊往往明显枯燥得令人痛苦，但它仍能发

挥重要作用，使我们能够跨越许多社会障碍，改善有意义的互动。广可知，闲聊是跨越

许多社会障碍，改善互动的方式，由此可知，第一段讲述的是：闲聊是人类互动的第一

步，故选A项。

9.推理判断题。根据第二段“Whenfindingyourselfpositionedcloselytoapersonwhoyou

knowlittleabout,it'smuchsafertopointouttherainyskythantoshareyourpoliticalviews

onasensitivetopic.Untilyouknowthepersonbelter,heaviertopicsshouldprobablybekept

underwraps,soyouwon'tfindyourselfonthereceivingendofacoldstare.（当你发现自己

靠近一个你不太了解的人时，聊天气情况要比就一个敏感话题发表你的政治观点安全得

多。在你更好地了解对方之前，较严肃的话题应该保密，这样你才不会被冷眼瞪着。y

可知，如果闲聊的话题没有控制住敏感度是不“安全的工由此推知，如果闲聊不能控制

好话题的“人际距离”将会被冷眼相待，故选D项。

10.细节理解题。根据第三段“Aresponseto“howwasyourweekend,,canunveilmuch

abouttheperson'scharacter.Thelengthoftheirresponsemightindicatetheirlevelof

self-confidence;thetoneofspeakingmightshowhowagreeableapersonis;（对“周末过得怎

么样'’的回答可以揭示出这个人的很多性格特征。他们回答的长度可能表明了他们的自

信程度;说话的语气可以显示出•个人是多么和蔼可亲;）“可知体现一个人友好、和蔼的

标志是说话的语气。故选B项。

11.标题判断题。根据第一段“Butdespitebeingevidentandoftenpainfullydull,smalltalk

hasanimportantroletofulfil,enablingustoleapoveranumberofsocialobstaclestowards

improved,meaningfulinteraction4不过，尽管闲聊往往明显枯燥得令人痛苦，但它仍能发

挥重要作用，使我们能够跨越许多社会障碍，改善有意义的互动。）''和结合最后一段

"Conversationisagreateducator,anddeepconversationestablishlastingbonds

withourfellowhumans,formingpreciousfriendshipsthatpaintourliveswithvibrantcolors.

Suchfriendshipsbeginwithsmalltalk.（交谈是伟大的教育家，深入的交谈能与我们的同胞

建立持久的联系，形成宝贵的友谊，使我们的生活充满活力。这样的友谊从闲聊开始。y

可知，文章主要在说明闲聊的重要性，所以c项“闲聊的意义”适合做文章的标题，故选

c项。

【分析】

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了把户外环境带到建筑里的“绿色墙”，这种绿色墙应用于校

园等教育机构内已经成为了一种新的趋势。

12.细节理解题。根据第二段“Thelivingwallismeanttoalmostappearasanextensionof

theeastcourtyardexterior（夕卜面的）environmentflowingintothebuilding,“saidChristopher

Case（“绿色墙就像是作为东庭院外部环境的延伸，进入建筑。"ChristopherCase说。户

可知Christopher对绿色墙的描述是外部环境进入建筑，D项“它把户外的环境带到了建

筑物里。''表述正确，故选D项。

13.推理判断题。根据画线句子后的"Theproject-basedlearningallowsstudentstoconstruct

meaningandknowledgebasedondirectexperience,interactingwiththeirenvironment.**In

学习允许学生基于直接经验，与他们的环境互动，构建意义和知识。”“反过来，学生们

被鼓励使用批判性思维来开发维护绿色墙的方法，再一次把他们带回到自然世界，尽管

是在室内。"）”可知在校园里在学校实施绿色围墙对学生的学习研究是有好处的。故选A

项。

14.推理判断题。根据第六段内容“Toincreaseproductivitywhilebeautifyingaspace,

GeorgetownUniversityalsochoseaGSkyVersaWallforastudentcenterinoneoftheir

residencehalls,NewSouth.The828-square-footverticalgardenisfilledwith5000plants,

allowingstudentstobreatheeasy.（为了在美化空间的同时提高生产力，乔治敦大学也选择

了GSkyVersa墙作为新南方学生中心的宿舍之一。这座占地828平方英尺的垂宜花园

种植了5（）0（）株植物，让学生们可以轻松呼吸。）”可知第六段提到乔治敦大学是为了证

明在大学里的一种新趋势——把绿色墙引入大学校园。故选D项。

15.主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段"Aseducatorsacrossthe

globelooktoimprovestudentsoutcomes,anewtrendisbeginningto

takeroot.（当世界各地的教育者都希望提高学生的成绩时，一种新的趋势

开始生根。）可知，文章主要介绍的是将绿色墙引入校园已经成为了一种新

的趋势，因此本文主要是关于“绿色墙”在教育机构中的应用。故选C项。

【分析】

试卷第12页，总25页

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何写一篇出色的大学申请书。

16.根据下文“Itneedstotellastorywithpassion（热情），usingpersonal,entertaining

anecdotesthatshowyourcharacter,yourinterests,yourvalues,yourlifeexperiences,and

evenyoursenseofhumor.”可知，这篇文章需要用热情，以及可以展示你性格、兴趣、价

值观、个人经历甚至幽默感的个人轶事来讲述故事。由此可知，这篇文章不仅仅是平淡

地陈述你做了哪些事情。B.It'snotjustalistofeverythingyou'vedone.（它不仅仅是一篇

关于你所做事情的文章）符合文意。故选B项。

17.上文“Emphasizevolunteerworkorotherwaysyou'vehelpedpeopleormadeyour

communityabetterplace.Ithelpsiftheactivityisrelatedtothesubjectyouwantto

与你学习的科目有关，它会很有帮助。）与G.Admissionsstaffmemberswanttoknowhow

yourpresencewillmakethecollegeabetterplace.（招生工作人员想知道你的存在会如何让

学校变得更好）承接自然，上下文构成因果关系，且上文的abetterplace可以对应到选项

中的abetterplace。故选G项。

18.下文“Usegrammar,svntax（句法）andwritingwithhighlevelthatshowyou'rereadyfor

college.”（使用能够展示你为大学做好了准备的语法、句法和高水平的写作方式。）与口.

至关重要的）承接自然，上下文话题一致，都讲述申请书在语法，词汇和标点方面要注

意的问题。此外grammar是关键词。故选D项。

每天检查你的邮箱和语音信箱）与E.Makesureyouseeandrespondquicklytomessages

fromadmissionsstaffmembers（确保你看到并及时回复招生人员发来的信息）承接自然，

每天检查邮箱和语音信箱的目的是就确保看到并及时回复招生人员发来的信息。上文的

emailandvoicemail可对应选项中的messageso故选E项。

20.分析段落结构可知，此处句子起总领作用。根据下文“Whatwillmakeyouthemost

interestingcontributortothatdinnertableconversation?Whatwillmakeyouhelpeveryone

outfromthepile（什么会让你成为餐桌对话中最有趣的对话者？什么能让你帮助其他

人获得一个更有趣的体验？一篇好的文章将是所有这些问题的答案，并且能让你脱颖而

出。）可推知，设空处把大学比喻成餐桌。A.Everycollegeislikeadinner（able.（每个大学

都如同一张餐桌）符合文意。故选A项。

【分析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述J'Kurt在新老师的帮助下从一个不会拼不会读的四年

级的孩子，变成了一个可以读•本书的孩子，并且表达了对老师的感激。

21.考查名词词义辨析。句意：对他来说，受伤和希望都在四年级来临。A.anger生气；

B.hope希望；C.regret后悔；D.joy高兴。根据全文内容可知，他第一个四年级，老师

和父母尝试了所有办法他依旧是不会拼不会读，但后来他去了一个新学校，重读了四年

级，他在新老师的帮助下发生了巨大的变化，可以读一本书了，所以对他来说，这两个

四年级，第一个是受伤，第二个是希望，结合选项，故选B项。

22.考查名词词义辨析。句意：学校对他而言是一个完全很挣扎的地方。A.success成

功；B.adventure冒险；C.wale精华，鞭痕；D.struggle挣扎，斗争。根据下文“Learning

扎的地方。故选D项。

23.考查动词词义辨析。句意：他的老师和他父母尝试了所有但并不顺利。A.tried尝

试;B.made使;C.bought买;D.chose选择。根据空后内容“butitjustwasn'tclicking.”

可知，但是这也并不顺利，but表转折，说明前面是他的父母和老师尝试了所有，也没

有效果，故选A项。

24.考查动词词义辨析。句意：Campbells一家从华盛顿搬到了埃德蒙兹镇。A.traveled

旅行;B.moved搬;C.escaped逃避；D.searched搜索。根据下文"Kurt'sparentsenrolled

himinanewschool”可知，Kurt的父母给他找了一个新学校，说明他们家为了他的学习，
