B.Aicbook.C.Aschoolnotice. D.Aholidaybrochure.【答案】21.B22.B23.D【解析】本文是一篇应用文。这是一篇关于滑雪选址的文章，介绍了四个适合滑雪的地方。

【21题详解】细节理解题。根据第二部分“ValThorensisfantasticforadvancedskiers.(法·索伦斯是高级滑雪者的理想选择。)”可知ValThorens这个滑雪场更适合高阶滑雪者，与题目中的firsttimers(新手)矛盾，故选B项。

【22题详解】细节理解题。根据第四部分“therearedesignatedareasandsharedslopesandroutesforeverythingfromsnowboardingtocrosscountryskiing.(从单板滑雪到越野滑雪，都有指定的区域和共享的斜坡和路线。)”可知从滑雪板滑雪到越野滑雪，这里都有指定的区域，共享的斜坡和路线。但不代表candoanything,排除C，结合最后一句“…hasplentytodoofftheslopes…(离开滑雪道还能做别的事)”与B项内容“不会滑雪的人也可以玩得很开心。”吻合，故选B项。

【23题详解】推理判断题。根据第一部分“Foranyonewhoispassionateaboutalpineskiing,intermsofbothwatchingandparticipating,thelegendaryKitzbühelisaskiresortworthexperiencing.(对于任何热爱高山滑雪的人来说，无论是观看还是参与，传奇的基茨比厄尔都是一个值得体验的滑雪胜地。)“；第二部分“You’llgettoenjoy600kilometresofinterconnectedrunsatanaltitudeof2,300metres,makingitthehighestinEurope.ValThorensisfantasticforadvancedskiers.(您将在海拔2300米的地方享受600公里的互联线路，这是欧洲最高的线路。法·索伦斯是高级滑雪者的理想选择。)”；第三部分“SaasFeeofferssomefantasticsceneryandslopesforskilovers,amateursinparticular.(SaasFee为滑雪爱好者，特别是业余滑雪爱好者提供了一些美妙的风景和雪道。)”以及第四部分“Smallastheresortis,withonlyoneliftinoperation,therearedesignatedareasandsharedslopesandroutesforeverythingfromsnowboardingtocrosscountryskiing.(虽然滑雪场很小，只有一台电梯在运行，但从单板滑雪到越野滑雪，都有指定的区域和共享的斜坡和路线。)”可知本文是一篇关于滑雪选址的文章，更可能出现在旅游手册上，故选D项。

【24题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“hehadbeenhuntingforaroomsincenoonbutnooneseemedtohavearoom.(他从中午就一直在找房间，但似乎谁也没有房间。)”结合前文“Iopenedittoseeatrulyawfullookingmanhardlytallerthanmyeightyearolddaughter.(我打开门一看，是一个长相非常可怕的男人，几乎不比我8岁的女儿高。)”以及“Butthefrighteningthingwashisswollenface.(但最可怕的是他那肿胀的脸。)”对他的外表的描写，可推测房客们因为他丑陋的长相而不愿意让他住下，故选B项。

【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“ForamomentIhesitated,buthisnextwordsconvincedme:“Icouldsleepontheporch.Mybusleavesearlyinthemorning.”(我犹豫了一会儿，但他接下来的话说服了我:“我可以睡在门廊上。我的公交车一大早就会离开。”)”可知作者得知他不会太打扰他们，所以他同意了。故选C项。

【26题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“Knowingthathemustwalkthreemilestomailthese,andknowinghowlittlemoneyhehadmadethegiftsmoreprecious.(知道他必须走三英里路才能邮寄这些礼物，知道他的钱是那么少，所以这些礼物更珍贵了。)”可知对于那个老人来说，寄这些东西并不轻松，故选C项。

【27题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Intheyearshecametostayovernightwithustherewasneveratimethathedidnotbringusfishorvegetables.Othertimeswereceivedpackages.Knowingthathemustwalkthreemilestomailthese,andknowinghowlittlemoneyhehadmadethegiftsmoreprecious.Iknowourfamilyalwayswillbegratefultohaveknownhim;fromhimwelearnedwhatitwastoacceptthebadwithoutplaintandthegoodwithgratitude.(这些年来，他来我们家过夜，每次都给我们带来鱼和蔬菜。有时我们会收到包裹。知道他必须走三英里路才能邮寄这些礼物，知道他的钱是那么少，所以这些礼物更珍贵了。我知道，我们全家都会因为认识了他而心存感激；从他身上我们学到了什么是不抱怨地接受坏的，带着感激的心情接受好的。)”可知，渔夫来作者家过夜，为了回报作者一家，渔夫每次来都会带各种礼物，其实A中的gift应该是一语双关，表面上讲渔夫带给我们的礼物，其实是讲渔夫的出现是上帝赠予我们的很好的礼物，因为他教会了我们“感恩，不能以貌取人，心灵美”等诸多道理。A项“一个宝贵的礼物”适合作为本文的标题，故选A项。

【28题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“NOTthatlongago,theworldwonderedwhethercleanenergycouldsurvivewithoutgovernmentsupport.Nowthequestionishowfaritcanspread.Thenumberofelectricvehicles,whichwasabout1millionin2015,lastyearreached2million.Inelectricitygeneration,too,trendiswiththegreens.Inthefirsthalfofthisyearwind,solarandhydrogeneratedarecord35%ofGermany'spower.(就在不久前，全世界都在想，如果没有政府的支持，清洁能源是否还能生存下去。现在的问题是它能传播多远。2015年电动汽车的数量约为100万辆，去年达到了200万辆。在发电方面，趋势也与绿色有关。今年上半年，风能、太阳能和水力发电创纪录地占德国电力的35%。)”可知，针对清洁能源能否生存下去这个问题列举了德国使用清洁能源发电创记录的成功例子来证明清洁能源的发展的可行的，这个例子是为了论证此观点，故选D项。

【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“NOTthatlongago,theworldwonderedwhethercleanenergycouldsurvivewithoutgovernmentsupport.Nowthequestionishowfaritcanspread.Thenumberofelectricvehicles,whichwasabout1millionin2015,lastyearreached2million.Inelectricitygeneration,too,trendiswiththegreens.Inthefirsthalfofthisyearwind,solarandhydrogeneratedarecord35%ofGermany'spower.(就在不久前，全世界都在想，如果没有政府的支持，清洁能源是否还能生存下去。现在的问题是它能传播多远。2015年电动汽车的数量约为100万辆，去年达到了200万辆。在发电方面，趋势也与绿色有关。今年上半年，风能、太阳能和水力发电创纪录地占德国电力的35%。)”和第二段“Greatersuccessisbreedinggreaterambition.Californiaisproposingtoreach60%renewableenergyby2030.176countrieshavecleanenergygoals.Hawaii,America'smostoildependentstate,haspromisedtobe100%renewablebythemiddleofthecenturyandsohave48poorcountriesvulnerabletoclimatechange.Thisweekthenumberofmultinationalsmakingamitmenttorunningtheiroperationson100%renewableenergyroseto100.(更大的成功孕育更大的抱负。加州提议到2030年可再生能源占比达到60%。176个国家有清洁能源目标。夏威夷是美国最依赖石油的州，它承诺到本世纪中叶将实现100%的可再生能源，因此有48个易受气候变化影响的贫穷国家。本周，承诺100%使用可再生能源运营的跨国公司数量上升到了100家。)”可知作者在文章开头描写了很多关于清洁能源发展良好的例子，接着又描写了多个国家未来对清洁能源的巨大目标和美好构想，由此可知B项“清洁能源的美好未来。”符合题意，故选B项。

【30题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Butnoteverytargetishelpful.Toseewhy,considerthatgoalof100%renewableenergy.Itmakessolvingclimatechangeseemeasy.Infact,thoughwindandsolarcangeneratethewholecountry'selectricitysomeday,renewablesstillaccountforlessthan8%oftheworld'stotalpoweroutput.Moreover,cleaningupelectricityisonlypartofthebattle.Eventhoughgasfiredheatingandcookingcanbeatleastasbigasourceofgreenhousegasemissions,renewableheatinggetslittleattention.Transportpolicyisunpredictable,too.Carmakersmayhittheirgoalofannualsalesof10millionelectricvehiclesinadecade,butbatterypoweredroadtransport,shippingandaviationaredreams.AmuchquotedclaimthatAmericacouldrelyonwind,solarandhydroaloneforitselectricityhasrecentlybeenbitterlycriticizedbyagroupofrespectedacademics.”.(但并非每个目标都有用。想知道为什么，考虑一下100%可再生能源的目标。这使得解决气候变化问题看起来很容易。事实上，尽管风能和太阳能有朝一日能产生全国的电力，但可再生能源仍占世界总发电量的不到8%。此外，清理电力只是战斗的一部分。尽管燃气取暖和烹饪至少可以成为温室气体排放的一大来源，但可再生能源取暖很少受到关注。交通政策也是不可预测的。汽车制造商可能会在10年内实现电动汽车年销量1000万辆的目标，但电池驱动的公路运输、航运和航空是他们的梦想。一个被广泛引用的说法是，美国可以依靠风能、太阳能和水力发电来发电，最近遭到了一批受人尊敬的学者的严厉批评。)”可知，在很多方面可再生能源所获得关注是远远不够的，故选D项。

【31题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Mostimportantly,a100%renewablestargetconfusesmeanswithends.Thepriorityfortheplanetistostopnetemissions（净排放量）ofgreenhousegases,especiallycarbondioxide.Puttingtoomuchemphasisonwind,solarandotherrenewablesmayblockoffbettercarbonreductionpaths.Newtechnologies,suchas"directaircapture"systemsdesignedtoseparatecarbondioxidefromtheair,mayintimeprovevital.Likewise,greaterenergyefficiencycouldreduceemissionsbyevenmorethanusingrenewableswould.(最重要的是，100%可再生能源的目标混淆了手段和目的。地球的首要任务是停止温室气体的净排放，尤其是二氧化碳。过分强调风能、太阳能和其他可再生能源可能会阻碍更好的碳减排途径。新技术，如设计用来分离空气中的二氧化碳的“直接空气捕捉”系统，迟早会证明是至关重要的。同样，更高的能源效率可以比使用可再生能源减少更多的排放。)”可知作者可能会同意：比更多使用可再生能源更重要的是提高能源利用效率。故选B项。
