于自行车历史的博物馆项目。在PolytechnicMuseum这家博物馆，游客可以了解自行车的发展

历史，故选A。

【答案】4.A

5.C

6.B

7.C

【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，一开始，作者成绩比较差，受到了同学们的嘲笑。后来，经过

作者的努力，成功跳级。

4.考查推理判断。根据笫一段中的“Proudlyreadingmywords,Iglancedaroundtheroom,only

tofindmyclassmatesbearingbigsmilesontheirlacesandtearsintheireyes,andMissLancelot

stone-faced”我自豪地读着我的话，环顾了一下房间，发现我的同学脸上挂着灿烂的笑容，眼

里喻着泪水，Lancelot小姐面无表情，可推出作者的同学认为他的报告很可笑，故选A。

5.考查词义猜测。根据第一段中的“Proudlyreadingmywords,Iglancedaroundtheroom,only

tofindmyclassmatesbearingbigsmilesontheirfacesandtearsintheireyes,andMissLancelot

stone-faced”我自豪地读着我的话，环顾了一下房间，发现我的同学脸上挂着灿烂的笑容，眼

里噫着泪水，Lancelot小姐面无表情。可推断，作者的报告遭到了同学们的耻笑，因此推断划

线句句意为：我慢慢地举起报告，希望能藏起自己，急切地想要找出什么导致了人们这样，

故选c。

6.考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Quickly,IflashedbacktothedayMissLancelotgavemethe

task.ThiswasthefirstrealtaskIreceivedinmynewschool.Itseemedsimple:goontheInternet

andfindinformationaboutamannamedGeorgeWashington.Sincemyideaofhistorycamefrom

anancientteacherinmyhomecountry,Ihadneverheardofthatnamebefbre.“我飞快地回想起

Lancelot小姐给我布置任务的那一天。这是我在新学校接受的第一个真正的任务。这看起来很

简单；上网找一个叫乔治・华盛顿的人的信息。由于我的历史观来自于我国的一位古代老师，

我以前从未听说过这个名字。可知，作者是不熟悉美国历史才导致找错了华盛顿，故选B。

7.考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"Consequently,Ithrewmyselfheartilyintomyworkfbr

therestoftheschoolyear.Tenmonthslater,thatchanceunfoldedasIfoundmyselfsittinginthe

headmaster'sofficewithmygrandfatherandtheheadmasterinformedmeofhisapprovalthatI

couldskipthesixthgrade.Justiceissweet!”因此，我在全学年剩下的时间里尽情地投入到我的

学习中去。十个月后，机会来了，我和祖父坐在校长办公室里，校长告诉我他同意我可以跳

过六年级。正义是甜蜜的！可推断，作者是通过认真学习让校长给他跳级的机会的，也就是

说最后学习取得了成功，发生了逆转，因此推断，作者说“正义是甜蜜的”的意思自己的努力得

到了认可，故选C。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，

考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答

10.A

II.C

【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了在城市长大会对一个人的导航能力产生终生的负面影响，

及研究开展的情况，研究的发现和发现的解释等。

8.考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“whichtestsway-findingskillsbyaskingplayerstomemorise

amapshowingthelocationofcheckpointsandthenmeasuringhowwellplayerscansteeraboatto

findthem”它通过要求玩家记住一张显示检查站位置的地图来测试寻路技巧，然后测量玩家

能驾驶一艘船找到他们的能力。可知，使用电脑游戏中的数据集就是为了测试是什么影响了

寻路技巧，故选D。

9.考查代词指代。根据第二段中的“DatafiomAmericanplayersshowedthata70-year-oldwho

grewupinthecountiysidehadthenavigationalabilitiesofanaverage60-year-oldacrossthe

dataset.”来自美国玩家的数据显示，在乡村长大的70岁老人的导航能力在数据集中相当于平

均60岁的人的导航能力。可知，乡村的年长者表现较差，因此that指代上文的“olderpeople

performedrelativelypoorly”,故选B。

10.考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的“Dr.Spierssaysthatthebrain'snavigationalabilities

probablyweakeninthecityenvironmentbecausetheyarenotbeingusedasmuch."Dr.Spiers说，

在城市环境中，大脑的导航能力可能会减弱，因为它们没有被充分利用。可知，Dr.Spiers认

为缺乏训练导致大脑的导航能力可能会减弱，故选Ao

11.考查主旨大意。根据第一段"Growingupinacityhasalifelongnegativeimpactonaperson's

abilitytonavigate,accordingtoavastglobalsurvey."一项大型全球调查显示，在城市长大会对

一个人的导航能力产生终生的负面影响。由此开启下文对这项研究的开展，研究的发现及发

现的解释进行介绍，可知本文中心就是城市生活减弱了大脑的导航能力，故选C。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，代词指代和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇科研类阅读,

要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括

F.Thus,you'llbeabletogetstartedonthesmallestpieceandgoforwardfromthere.

GHopefully,thereareseveralstrategiesthatcanhelpyoustopprocrastinatingrightnow.

【答案与解析】本文是一篇说明文，就帮助停止拖延症提出了一些策略。

16.G；根据空前“Evenifyouwanttoaccomplishorfinishatask,youYelikelyhavingtrouble

gettingstartedinthefirstplace!”即使你想要实现或完成一项任务，你也可能会在一开始就遇到

麻烦！说明遇到了麻烦，提出问题，GHopefully,thereareseveralstrategiesthatcanhelpyoustop

procrastinatingrightnow.“有希望地是，有一些策略可以帮助你立刻停止拖延。”说明有方法可

以解决问题，前后符合逻辑。故选G。

17.C；根据空后“Wastingtimeyellingatyourselffornotstartingthat2,000-wordessaytwoweeks

agowillonlymakeyouextratiredandfrustrated.Itwillalsostressyouout,1汰elymakingit

impossibleforyoutofinishyourassignmentatthattime.“对自己大喊大叫在浪费时间，因为两周

前没有开始写那篇2000字的论文，只会让你更加疲惫和沮丧。它也会给你带来压力，可能会

让你无法在那个时候完成你的任务。可知，此处是对继续浪费时间发泄坏情绪不会对完成任

务有帮助的举例，C.Justmoveonandfocusonwhatyou'vegottodoinstead.”把注意力放在你该

做的事情上。”是提出的对策，与后文举反例相顺承，与前文“Changeyourmind"改变你的想

法。相呼应，本段表示不要因为拖延惩罚自己，改变想法，把注意力集中在该做的事情上。

故选C。

18.E；根据空前“Tellyourselfyou'veonlygottodoitfor15minutes.”告诉自己你只需要做15

分钟；以及空后“Onceyoucomeupforair,takeatwo-minutebreak.“一旦你想休息片刻，休息两

分钟。可知，此处内容为用15分钟来完成工作不行，换一个方式有关，因此E.If15minutesstill

soundstoofrightening,dosomethingfbrjust3minutes.”如果15分钟听起来仍然太可怕,那就做

3分钟的事情。符合语境。故选E。

19.A；根据空后“Itcanbescarytothinkaboutfinishingawholeessayorgettingthroughanentire

week'sworthoftasks.Insteadofthinkingabouteverythingyouhavetodolikeonebigobstacle,

breakitalldownintotinypieces.”想要完成一整篇文章或者完成整整一周的任务都是很可怕的。

与其把所有的事情都想成一个大障碍，不如把它分解成小块。此处是本段的小标题，内容与

要把大工作分解成小块有关，因此A.Breaktasksdownintosmallpieces.”把任务分解成小任

务。符合语境，故选A。

20.F；根据空前“Insteadofthinkingabouteverythingyouhavetodolikeonebigobstacle,breakit

alldownintotinypieces.“不要把你要做的每件事都看成是一个大障碍，而是把它分解成小块。

说明分解小块工作后实施的可行性，与空格处是因果关系，因此F.Thus,yoWlbeableioget

startedonthesmallestpieceandgoforwardfromthere.”因此，你将能够从最小的一块开始，并从

那里继续前进。1符合语境。故选F。
