since.””（杰夫说：“老实说，我很难记起一些事情，但我最近和塞莱斯塔聊了聊，我想这可能与一家美国学校的计划有关。”他们给我们介绍了一些美国人成为笔友，不知怎么的，我收到了一封来自一个美国女孩的信，从那以后我们就一直保持通信。”）可知，GeoffBanks讲述了他们之间是如何开始保持联系的。故选A项。6．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Deepdown,IrefusetouseZoom.”（内心深处，我拒绝使用Zoom）可知，Geoff不喜欢使用Zoom。故选D项。7．推理判断题。根据第一段“Lookingback,GeoffBanksofDevon,EnglandcanhardlyevenrememberhowhefirststartedwritingtohisAmericanfriend,CelestaByrne.”（回想起来，英格兰德文郡的杰夫·班克斯甚至不记得他是如何开始给他的美国朋友塞莱斯塔·伯恩写信的。）以及下文的具体叙述可知，文章主要讲述了两位百岁老人彼此写信保持终生友谊的故事。故选C项。8．A9．B10．D11．C【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国政府同意实验室人造肉的运营及其当前存在的问题。8．主旨大意题。根据第三段“Productionofmeatgrowninalaboratorybeginsbytakingcellsfromfertilizedeggs.Thecellsarecombinedwithnutrientsthatsupporttheirgrowthinsteeltanks.UpsideFoods’slab-grownmeatiscreatedinlargesheets,whicharethenformedintofinalproducts.GoodMeattransformscellsintoseveralchickenproducts.(在实验室里培育肉类的第一步是从受精卵中提取细胞。这些细胞与支持它们在钢罐中生长的营养物质结合在一起。UpsideFoods的实验室培育肉是大块的，然后制成最终产品。GoodMeat将细胞转化为几种鸡肉产品)”可知，本段主要讲述了实验室人造肉的制作程序。故选A项。9．细节理解题。根据第五段中“Officialsexpectthepriceoflab-grownmeattobeabout$44perkilogram.Atsuchaprice,onlyrichpeoplewillbeabletopurchaselab-grownmeat.Therefore,itwillnotbeavailableingrocerystoresanytimesoon.(官员们预计，实验室培育肉的价格约为每公斤44美元。在这样的价格下，只有富人才能购买实验室培育的肉。因此，它不会很快在杂货店里买到)”可知，实验室人造肉太贵是其在许多超市不受欢迎的原因。故选B项。10．词句猜测题。根据后文“andeasetheeffectsthatfeedinganimalsandanimalwastehaveontheenvironment.(并减轻饲养动物和动物粪便对环境的影响)”中的andease可知，划线单词和ease并列，意思相近，应是“减少”之意。故选D项。11．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“ButMartinsaidthatiftoolittleisproduced,andonlyasmallnumberofpeopleeatit,itwillhavelittleeffectontheenvironment.(但Martin说，如果产量太少，只有少数人食用，对环境的影响就很小)”可知，RicardoSanMartin认为实验室人造肉产量太低对于消费和环境都没有实质性的好处，所以担心它的产出。故选C项。12．D13．B14．C15．C【导语】本文是一篇说明文。生活中总会有一些喜欢走捷径的人，他们很多时候可以让我们的工作和生活更高效。12．推理判断题。根据第一段“BillGatesoncesaid,“Ichoosealazypersontodoahardjob.Becausealazypersonwillfindaneasywaytodoit.”Ifthefactthatthesewordsweresaidbyoneofthemostfinanciallysuccessfulpeopleinhumanhistorydoesn'ttellyousomething,I’mnotsurewhatwill.Thereisalottobesaidfortakingtheshortcut,asitcansooftensaveyoubothtimeandeffortthatyoudidn’tactuallyneedtowaste.(比尔·盖茨曾经说过：“我选择一个懒惰的人去做一项艰巨的工作。因为懒惰的人会找到一个简单的方法来做这件事。”如果这些话出自人类历史上最成功的财务人士之口还不能说明什么，我不确定还有什么能说明什么。走捷径有很多好处，因为它通常可以节省你的时间和精力，你实际上不需要浪费)”可知，文章提及比尔·盖茨的话目的在于导人话题。故选D项。13．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Ifthereisawayforthemtogetwheretheyneedtobewithoutwastinganyextraeffort,youcanbesuretheywillgoforit.(如果有一种方法可以让他们到达他们需要的地方而不浪费任何额外的努力，你可以肯定他们会去做的)”以及第三段“Wedon’talwaysneedtomakethingsunnecessarilyhardforourselves,soworkingoutaneasierwayisalwaysworthcelebrating.Afterall,takingshortcutsisn’talwaysabadthinginlife.(我们并不总是需要给自己制造不必要的困难，所以找到一个更容易的方法总是值得庆祝的。毕竟，在生活中走捷径并不总是坏事)”可知，作者并不反对“走捷径”，所以是建议要妥善对待“走捷径”。故选D项。14．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Wedon’talwaysneedtomakethingsunnecessarilyhardforourselves,soworkingoutaneasierwayisalwaysworthcelebrating.Afterall,takingshortcutsisn’talwaysabadthinginlife.Youcanbesurethatthebicyclewasinventedbysomeonewhowassickofwalking,nottomentiontheinventionofthewheelprobablycameaboutaftersomeonedecidedtheydidn’twanttocarryeverythinganymore.(我们并不总是需要给自己制造不必要的困难，所以找到一个更容易的方法总是值得庆祝的。毕竟，在生活中走捷径并不总是坏事。你可以肯定，自行车是由一个厌倦了走路的人发明的，更不用说轮子的发明可能是在某人决定他们不想再携带任何东西之后)”可知，文章提及自行车和汽车的发明是为了说明找到一个更好的做事方法就是他们的动机。故选C项。15．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Fromfindingabetterwaytogoaboutagiventaskinworktofiguringoutaquickerrouteonthejourneyhome,itallcomesbacktotheideaofworkingsmarterbeingbetterthanworkingharder.Youdon'tneedtowaitforapathtobecarvedoutforyou.Ifyourmindhasworkedoutawaytomakethingseasierforyourselfandgetthejobdonequicklythengoaheadanddoit.(从找到一种更好的方法来完成工作任务，到找到一条更快的回家路线，这一切都归结为聪明地工作比努力地工作更好。你不需要等待别人为你开辟一条道路。如果你已经想出了一个让事情变得更容易、更快完成工作的方法，那就去做吧)”可知，文章主要说明了要更聪明、更高效地工作，所以C项“WorkSmarter,NotHarder(更聪明地工作，而不是更努力地工作)”是本文最好的标题。故选C项。16．C17．A18．F19．E20．G【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何种植室内植物，尤其是要注意适度、水分，以及一些相关的实用做法。【详解】1.上文“Ifyou’veeverhadanindoorplantthat’squicklywithered(枯萎),youmightbelievethatyoudon'thaveagreenthumboryou'renotcutoutforgrowingplants.(如果你曾经有过室内植物很快枯萎的经历，你可能会认为你没有园艺技能，或者你不适合种植植物。)”和下文“Thetruthisthatanyonecanbeagoodplantowner,anditreallyisn'tcomplicated,wepromise.(事实是，任何人都可以成为一个好的植物所有者，这真的不复杂，我们保证。)”是转折关系，C项“我们是来告诉你事实并非如此。”起到过渡和衔接作用，故选C。2.下文“Ifyoursoiliseithertoodryoroverwatered,itcandamagetheplant’srootsandpreventtheplantfromgrowing.Insomecasesunderoroverwateringyourplantcanalsokillit.Plantswiththickleavesrequiremorewaterthanplantswithleatheryleaves.(如果你的土壤过于干燥或过度浇水，它会损害植物的根系，阻止植物生长。在某些情况下，给植物浇水过多或过少也会杀死它。叶子厚的植物比叶子坚韧的植物需要更多的水分。)”指出不要给植物过渡浇水，A项“保持盆栽土壤是潮湿的，但并不能太湿润”能概括下文，故选A。3.上文“Ifthesoilfeelsdamp,thenyoudon’tneedtowaterit.(如果土壤感到潮湿，那么你就不需要浇水。)”指出如果土壤潮湿，就不需要浇水，这是因为过度浇水不利于植物生长，F项“过度浇水会导致你需要修复的根部腐烂”符合，承接上文，故选F。4.上文“Usewaterthatisatroomtemperature.68For20Cisthebesttemperaturetokeepthewaterthatyou’reusingtowateryourplants.(使用室温下的水。68华氏度或20摄氏度是保存你用来浇灌植物的水的最佳温度。)”强调温水对植物的重要性，所以你可以用温度计来测量水温，E项“你可以用温度计来测定水的温度。”符合，承接上文，故选E。5.上文“Useahand-heldmoisture(水分)metertoensurewaterlevelsinyoursoil.(使用手持式湿度计，以确保水位在您的土壤。)”提到使用手持式湿度计来确保土壤的含水量，G项“水分测量仪是确定植物水分含量的最准确方法”符合，承接上文，故选G。21．A22．C23．B24．D25．A26．D27．B28．C29．C30．A31．B32．D33．A34．C35．B【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述作者生病被同事照料的故事，从而感悟：如果某件小事让你的灵魂微笑，请记下它，让它留在你的脑海中，并在生活可能会阻碍你前进的无聊日子里回忆它。21．考查名词和动词词义辨析。句意：这句话从我第一次读起就一直萦绕在我心头。A.quote引语；B.routine常规；C.privilege特权；D.service服务。由上文“Enjoythelittlethingsinlife,foronedayyou’lllookbackandrealizetheywerethebigthings.”以及语境可知，这是一句“引语”。故选A项。22．考查名词词义辨析。句意：这真是太有意义了。A.trouble故障；B.believe相信；C.sense感觉，意义；D.fun快乐。由下文“Ifeltsogood,Ifeltloved,Ifeltvisibleanditwasahuge10.”以及语境可知，作者从这次被同事照顾的小事中感触很深，所以这里应表示认为前面这句引语很有“意义”。故选C项。23．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：就在前几天我感冒了，流感让我觉得很虚弱，很困。A.proud骄傲的；B.weak虚弱的；C.active积极的；D.ambitious雄心勃勃的。由上文“Icaughtacold”可知，因为感冒了，所以作者很“虚弱”。故选B项。24．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我多么希望已经是周末了。A.balance平衡；B.breath呼吸；C.pause停顿；D.weekend周末。由下文“itwasMonday.Ihadtogotowork.”可知，作者感冒了，所以希望是“周末”，在家休息可以不用上班。故选D项。25．考查名词词义辨析。句意：她关切地问我是否生病了。A.concern关心；B.delight喜悦；C.certainty确定性；D.caution小心。由下文“ifIwasill”可知，这里指Lucy“关心”作者是否生病了。故选A项。26．考查形容词词组辨析。句意：在意识到我身体不好后，她对我很同情。A.displeasedwith对...不满意；B.interestedin对...感兴趣；C.ashamedof为...感到羞愧；D.sympatheticto对...同情。由下文
