Ihavebeenthere.Iwasinitforsixyearsexploringwhatlifeisabout!（最重要的是，你体内的荷尔蒙失衡真的会

让你一团糟。我也经历过。我花了六年时间探索生活的真谛！）”可知，在所有的影响因素中，身体里的荷

尔蒙不平衡会使得青少年的生活变得一团糟，所以身体上的变化让青少年的生活变得艰难。故选B。

【6题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段的uIhavebeenthere.Iwasinitforsixyearsexploringwhatlifeisabout!（我也经历过。

我花了六年时间探索生活的真谛！）”和第三段中“Asateenager,Ihadamajorproblemcompletingmyroutine

【答案】8.B9.A10.AIl.B

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述VR在旅游业中的优势和缺点，但是作者并不看好它的前景。

【8题详解】

推理判断题。根据第一段“ThispastEarthDay,peoplewhousuallycelebratedbyheadingoutdoorsreliedon

virtualtoursinstead.Itwasafittingopportunitytoexperiencevirtualreality(VR)technologythatsomeexpertshad

advancedasaneco-friendlysolutiontotheproblemofovertourism.Butwillinterestintravellingvirtuallylast

beyondthepandemic?(在刚刚过去的地球日，人们通常通过户外活动来庆祝，而现在则依靠虚拟旅游。这

是一个体验虚拟现实(VR)技术的好机会，一些专家提出了一种环保的解决方案，以解决过度旅游的问题。

但是，在大流行病之后，虚拟旅行的兴趣真的会持续下去吗?)”可知，第一段的作用是引出VR对于旅游业

的话题。故选B项。

【9题详解】

词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Still,thereisabiggapbetweenusingVRto“trybeforeyoubuy"andtreatingVR

likethedestinationitself.Tostartwith,thetechnologyisnotmatureyel.（尽管如此，使用VR进行“购买前试用“

和将VR视为目的地之间还有很大的差距。首先，这项技术还不成熟。）”可知本段主要讲述VR的劣势，以

及后文“Thevideosfocusonthesightsandsoundsofaplacebutcannotdomuchwithitssmell,touchortaste.

（这些视频关注的是一个地方的景象和声音，但对它的嗅觉、触觉或味觉无能为力）”可推测“Limited

sensationsareanotherhurdle.,,是“有限的感觉是另一个困难”之意，difficulty“困难”符合题意。故选A项。

【10题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段“Tostartwith,thetechnologyisnotmature（成熟的）yet.（首先，这项技术还不成

熟。）”和“Limitedsensations（感觉）areanotherhurdle.（有限的感觉是另一个障碍。）”以及uAdditionally,

touristsareneitherlocalsnorbusinesstravelers.Theytendtobelessdirectedintheirexplorationsandmore

focusedonnewdiscoveries.（此外，游客既不是本地人，也不是商务旅行者。他们倾向于在探索中少受指导，

而更专注于新发现。）”，结合第四段中aMostimportantly,itcouldhelpbringpeopletoplacesthatareotherwise

inaccessible.（最重要的是，它可以帮助人们前往其他方式无法到达的地方）”可知可以访问的地方不会影

响虚拟旅行的普及。故选A项。

【11题详解】

主旨大意题。根据最后一段"Utimately,theimpactofVRonravelwillbedeterminedbythegradualdevelopment

ofnewtechnologies.Sofar,advanceshavebeensignificant-,butnotgreatenoughtoaffectthetravelindustryor

supportadropintravel-relatedcarbonemissionsafterthepandemichasended.（VR对ravel的影响最终取决于新

技术的逐步发展。到目前为止，进展是显著的。但还不足以影响旅游业，或支持疫情结束后与旅游相关的

碳排放下降”'可知本文主要讲VR旅行虽然有本身的优势，但是并不能长久。故选B项。

【答案】12.D13.B14.D15.A

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了以灰蛾为例，解释了什么是自然选择。

【12题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段中“Naturalselectionoftentakeshundredsoreventhousandsofyearstohappen.Forthe

pepperedmoth,thisprocesshappenedcomparatively（相对地）quickly.（自然选择通常需要数百年甚至数千年才能

发生.对于灰蛾来说，这个过程发生得相对较快。）”可知，通常而言自然选择是需要数百年甚至数千年才

能发生，然而灰蛾自然选择的过程发生得较快。即灰蛾自然选择时间的长度是不同寻常。故选D。

【13题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段中“Becausethelight-coloredmothsblendedintothelight-coloredbarkonthetrees,they

couldnotbeeasilyseenbybirdsthatwouldeatthem.（因为浅色的蛾子和树上浅色的树皮混在一起，所以它们

不容易被吃它们的鸟类发现。）”可知，鸟类看不到浅色的飞蛾。故选B。

【14题详解】

推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中"Astheairgrewmorepolluted,however,treetrunksbecamecoveredwithsoot

（煤烟）andbecamedarker.Thelight-coloredmothsbecameeasyforbirdstoseeagainstthedarktreetrunks.Since

thedark-coloredmothsnowhadtheadvantage,theirnumbersgrew.（然而，随着空气污染越来越严重，树干被煤

烟覆盖，颜色也越来越深。在深色树干的衬托下，浅色的飞蛾很容易被鸟儿看到。由于深色蛾子现在占了

优势，它们的数量增加了。）”可知，如果烟尘再次使英国的树木变黑，深色蛾子会占优势，它们的数量会

增加。故选D。

【15题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段"Inthetwentiethcentury,theairclearedup,andthepepperedmothpopulationchanged

again.Astreetrunkslightenedbecauseoflesssootintheair,light-coloredmothsonceagainhadanadvantage.Their

numbersincreasedassootlevelsdropped.Dependingontheirenvironment,thecolorationofthemothshelpedthem

tobe“naturallyselected”tosurvive（生存）.（到了20世纪，空气变好了，胡椒蛾的数量又发生了变化。由于空

气中烟尘的减少，树干变轻了，浅色的蛾子再一次有了优势。随着烟尘水平的下降，它们的数量增加。根

据它们所处的环境，飞蛾的颜色帮助它们“自然选择”生存下来）”可知，周围环境可能会影响一些斑蛾的

生存。故选A。

【答案】16.C17.E18.B19.D20.F

【解析】

【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述历史对我们的生活是如何进行指导的。

【16题详解】

根据上文“Historyisarecordofwhathashappenedinthepast.（历史就是对于过去发生事情的记录）”以及后文

“Thereallyfascinatingthingisthatmuchofhistoryhasbeenrepeatedtimeandagain.Itallowsustolearnfromthe

past,boththemistakesmadeandthesuccessesachieved.（真正令人着迷的是，历史的大部分内容都被一次又一

次地重复。它让我们从过去的错误和成功中吸取教训）”可知，本句承接上文继续说明历史的特点：有一些

特殊的品质。C选项“历史有一些特殊的品质”符合语境，故选C。

【17题详解】

根据上文“Oneofthebenefitsofhistoryisreadinghowotherpeoplebothfamousandtotallyunknownhave

overcometremendouschallengesintheirlife.Thesechallenges,althoughparticulartoaperson,ortoacertaintimein

thepast,oroccurringinadifferentcountryorculture,allconveythesamething.（读历史的好处之一就是能读到其

他名人和完全不知名的人是如何克服生活中的巨大挑战的。这些挑战，虽然是特定于一个人，或过去的某

个时间，或发生在不同的国家或文化，但都传达了相同的东西）”可知，本句具体说明传达了什么相同的东

西，E选项中convey对应上文中convey。故E选项“他们在坚持不懈的短篇故事中传达智慧”符合语境，

故选E。

【18题详解】

根据下文“Heencounteredmanyfailureswhileontheroadtofinallyinventingthemodemdaylightbulb.（在最终

发明现代灯泡的路上，他遭遇了许多失败）”可知，后文提到了发明灯泡，可知是在以爱迪生举例。故B选

项“以托马斯•爱迪生的故事为例”符合语境，故选B。

【19题详解】

根据上文“Hecouldbeheldoutasanexampleofapersonwhonevergaveup.（他是一个永不放弃的人的榜样）”

以及后文uHowever,hedidnotletthosefailuresstophim.Hehadadreamandhejustkepttryingdifferentthings

untilhedidreachsuccess4然而，他没有让这些失败阻止他。他有一个梦想，他不断尝试不同的事情，直到他

获得成功）”可知，后文与本句构成转折关系，可推测出本句是在说明因为失败而气馁。故D选项“我敢肯

定他因为多次失败而气馁了”符合语境，故选D。

【20题详解】

根据上文"MostofusonlyrealizethesuccessofMr.LincolnbecomingPresident.（我们大多数人只知道林肯先生

成为总统的成功）“以及后文"Hislifewasnotaneasyone.Hisstoryisonethatmotivatesustokeepmovingforward

nomatterwhatobstacleswehaveinlife.（他的生活并不轻松。他的故事激励着我们，无论生活中遇到什么障碍，

都要继续前进）”可知，后文提到林肯总统的生活并不轻松，故F选项“我们中很少有人知道他必须克服许

多挑战”符合语境，故选F。
