答案和解析

1.【答案】

【小题1]C【小题2】D【小题3】A

【解析】（1）C.细节理解题。由JarredBriggs下的

Briggs'sfavoritepartaboutbeinganartistiscomingupwithcleverconceptual

drawings-helivesforthemomentwhenallthepiecesofthepuzzlebegintofttogether."（

Briggs作为一个艺术家最喜欢的部分是构思出巧妙的概念图，当拼图的所有部分开始拼

合在一起时，他就活在这个时刻。）可知Briggs最喜欢的工作是构思出巧妙的概念图，

即构思出令人满意的图画。故选C项。

（2）D.细节理解题。由MeganMurphy下的

Muiphy'sloveafairswithwritingbeganatayoungagewithnightlywords"Deardiany

（Murphy对写作的热爱始于年幼时的夜话"亲爱的日记"。）可知MeganMurphy年幼

时就对写作产生了兴趣。故选D项

（3）A.推理判断题。由标题ContributorstoReader'sDigest（《读者文摘》撰稿人），由

NicholasHune-Brown下的

"ReadhisstoryaboutaCOVID-19patient'sincrediblefightforsurvivalonpage114."（请阅

读他在114页上关于一名COVID-19患者为生存而进行的难以置信的斗争的故事。）由

JanedBriggs下的"Takealookathislatestworkonpage18."（看看他在第18页的最新作

品。）由MeganMurphy下的

"ReadherhumoroustaleofachildhoodChristmasceremonyonpage26."（在第26页读她

童年圣诞节仪式的幽默故事。）可知本文介绍了《读者文摘》的几位撰稿人，他们的作

品在不同的页面，所以文章介绍了儿位作家在《读者文摘》上的一些作品。故选A项。

这是一篇应用文。文章向读者介绍了几位作家值得阅读的作品。

阅读理解解题步骤：首先对原文材料迅速浏览，掌握全文的主旨大意。因为阅读理解题

一般没有标题，所以，速读全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速读的过程中，应尽可能

多地捕获信息材料。其次，细读题材，各个击破。掌握全文的大意之后，细细阅读每篇

材料后的问题，弄清每题要求后，带着问题，再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息。要

善于抓住每段的主题句，阅读时，要有较强的针对性。对于捕获到的信息，要做认真分

析，仔细推敲，理解透彻，只有这样，针对题目要求，才能做到稳、准。

4.【答案】

【小题1】B【小题2】A【小题3】B【小题4】D

【解析】（1）B.细节理解题。根据第二段中

"Infact,untilaplacehasapub,itisnotreallyconsideredacommunityworthyofaname.Tra

dilionally,thepubisattheheartofanyvillageortown,sinceitiswherepeoplegathertosoci

alizeandexchangenews.ItisaninstitutionattheheartofBritishsociety.Afterall,theword"

pub"isactuallyshortfor"publichouse".（事实上,直到一个地方有了酒吧,它才被认为

是一个名副其实的社区。传统上，小酒吧位于任何村庄或城镇的中心，因为人们聚集

在这里进行社交和交流新闻。它是英国社会核心的一种机构。毕竟，“pub”这个词实际

上是"publichouse"的缩写）以及第三段中Asaresult,British

pubsareoftenoldandwellpreserved.（因此，英国的酒吧往往历史悠久，保存完好）可

知，英国酒吧总是很老，是因为一个社区的诞生往往源于其中的酒吧。故选B.

（2）A.词义猜测题。根据画线词后文

"suchasTheKing'sHeadorTheQueenVictoria,butofcoursethisdoesn'tmeantheyareonl

yforkingsandqueens”比如“国王头“或"维多利亚女王"，但当然这并不意味着只有国王和

女王才能光顾酒吧，这说明很多英国酒吧的名字都与君主有关，故画线词意思为“君主”。

A.Emperors.君主；B.Bosses.老板；C.Specialtourists.特殊的游客；D.Ordinarypeople.

普通人。故选A.

（3）B.细节理解题。根据第四段中

Economicdownturns,governmentalausteritymeasuresandculturalchangesarecausingman

ypubstogooutofbusiness.（经济衰退、政府紧缩措施和文化变革正导致许多酒吧倒闭）

可知，导致许多酒吧关门的原因是经济衰退。故选B.

（4）D.观点态度题。根据最后一段

Inordertosavetheirbusinesses,pubsaretryingtodiversifytoattractnewcustomers.Andwi

th

various"savethepub"campaigns,therearesignsthatpeoplearegatheringaroundpubstosu

pportthisgreatBritishinstitutionwithpride.（为了挽救他们的生意，酒吧正试图通过多样

化来吸引新的顾客。在各种各样的拯救酒吧运动中，有迹象表明人们正聚集在酒吧周围，

自豪地支持酒吧这一英国机构）可推知，作者在最后一段中客观陈述了人们为拯救酒吧

第12页，共22页

进行的努力没有提到个人对英国酒吧未来的看法，即对英国酒吧的未来持客观态度。

A.Conservative保守的；B.Skeptical怀疑的；C.Hopeless无希望的；D.Objective客观的。

故选D.

这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国的酒吧文化，介绍了英国酒吧兴起的原因，酒吧

的特色，酒吧如今面临的困境以及人们为拯救酒吧所付出的一些努力。

8.【答案】

【小题1]c【小题2】D【小题3】D【小题4】A

【解析】(1)C.推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的sawthatCOVID-19wouldhaveaneven

biggerimpactoncommunitiesthatdependonhisservices."Peoplewerefightingoverwater,"

hesays,"andIjustthought,okay,thisisgoingtobebad."当他看到COVID-19的传播对依

赖他服务的社区产生了更大的影响。他说：”人们为了水而打架，我当时想，好吧，情

况会很糟糕。”从这句话可以推断出，疫情使得他为人们的基本生存需求感到担忧。C

选项Toeasetheproblemofhunger.减轻饥饿问题，符合题意。故答案选C.

(2)D.细节理解题。根据文章第二段的Thefoodherescuesisstillsuitabletobeeatenbut

maynotmeetthepicture-perfectstandardsofconsumers.他拯救的食物仍然适合食用，但

可能不符合消费者的完美标准。以及此段中的进一步说明"Maybeapepperhasaslight

mark,orit'snotbreastmeatorwhateverthedesiredcutis,butyoucanstillmakesomething

thattastesamazing."也许辣椒上有轻微的痕迹，或者它不是胸脯肉或任何你想要切的东

西，但你仍然可以做出美味的东西。”可以看出，他的机构中对食物的要求并不是完美

无瑕疵的，故D选项Pepperswithslightmarks有轻微痕迹的辣椒符合题意。故答案选

D.

(3)D.推理判断题。根据文章首段JaggerGordonwasstandinginlinealthegrocerystore

inlateMarchwhenithithim：thiswasonlythebeginning.3月底，贾格尔•戈登(Jagger

Gordon)在杂货店排队时突然想到：这只是开始。以及段末的"Peoplewerefightingover

water,"hesays,"andIjustthought,okay,thisisgoingtobebad."他说：”人们为了水而打架，

我当时想，好吧，情况会很糟糕。”可以推断出，三月底当时他在排队目睹了为了取到

水而打架的人。故D选项"ItofferedwateratthegrocerystoreinlateMarch三月底杂货店

提供水”符合题意。故答案选D.

(4)A.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段JaggerGordon说的"That'smyduty.""这是我的

责任。”可以看出他是一个有责任心的人。而全文都在围绕他为了那些吃不上饭创建食

品银行来阐述，说明他是在做好事，我们可以推测他是一个热心的人。

A.Warm-heartedandresponsible热心而有责任感；B.Caringanddemanding关爱且有要求

的；C.Ambitiousandhumorous野心勃勃而又幽默的；D.Generousandstrict慷慨而严格

的。A选项"Warm-heartedandresponsible热心而有责任感的人"符合题意，故答案选A.

文章讲述了一位叫做贾格尔•戈登(JaggerGordon)的厨师，他创建的食品银行的项目

帮助了很多有困难的人。

做这类阅读理解，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处相

关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。

12.【答案】

【小题1】D【小题2】B【小题3】C【小题4】D

【解析】(1)D.主旨大意题。通读全文内容可知本文文章讲述了许多动物在人类的生

活中受欢迎，这使得这些动物在减少，动物的受欢迎实际上可能是它们衰败的原因之一。

结合选项可知C项Effortsaremadetoprotectanimalsindanger"努力保护

处于危险中的动物”符合文意，故选D.

(2)B,细节理解题。由第四段中的"Hesuggestedinthepaperthatcompaniesusingimages

ofendangeredanimalsformarketingpuiposesprovideinformationtopromotetheir

conservation,andperhapspartoftheirprofitsforprotectionoftheanimals."(他在论文中建

议，利用濒危动物图片进行营销的公司提供信息，以促进对濒危动物的保护，或许还可

以将部分利润用于保护濒危动物。)可知Courchamp认为可以将部分利润用于保护濒危

动物，即公司应该拿出一些收入来保护动物。故选B.

(3)C.推理判断题。由倒数第二段"NearlyhalfofthetoyanimalssoldintheUnitedStates

onAmazonwereoneofthe10belovedanimals,whileinFrancesome800>000"Sophiethe

giraffe"babytoysweresoldlastyear-morethaneighttimesthenumberofgiraffeslivingin
