答案：A

【答案解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述日本科学家Miyazaki有关“森林浴”的研究及其和人类健

康的关系。

【详解】

词句猜测题。根据第一段划线词所在句“Forestbathingdoesn'tmeanyoutakeabathinthe

forest;rather,yousimplygoforawalkinthewoodsoracitypark,whereyouslackenbyusing

allyoursensestoexperiencenature.，森林浴”并不是指你在森林里洗澡；相反，你只是在

树林里或城市公园里散步，在那里你会放松下来，用你所有的感官去体验自然）”中的

“usingallyoursensestoexperiencenature”可知，感受森林浴的过程是用所有的感官去体

验自然，可以推断这是一个放松的过程，所以划线词slacken应该是“放松”的意思,D选

项relax和它词义接近。故选D项。

【详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段“Hepointsoutthatformorethan99.99%ofthetime,humanshave

livedinanaturalenvironment.Infact,in1800,only3%oftheworld'spopulationlivedincities,

andby2016,thisfigurereached54%.Thisisonlygoingtogetworse;officialspredictthatby

2050,66%willliveincities.（他指出，在99.99%以上的时间里，人类都生活在自然环境

中。事实上，在1800年，只有3%的世界人口居住在城市，到2016年，这个数字达到

54%O这只会变得更糟；官员们预测，到2050年，66%的人口将居住在城市）”可知，该

段主要是以列数字的方式展开讲述Miyazaki提出的理论。故选B项。

【详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段“Miyazakihasaninterestingtheoryaboutwhyshinrin-yokuisso

effective.Hepointsoutthatformorethan99.99%ofthetime,humanshavelivedinanatural

environment.（Miyazaki有一个有趣的理论来解释为什么shinlin-yoku如此有效。他指出，

在99.99%以上的时间里，人类都生活在自然环境中）”可知，宫崎骏认为人类和自然是一

体的，不可分割的，所以“森林浴”对人们放松身心是有效的。故选C项。

【详解】

推理判断题。根据第五段“AsMiyazakistresses,youdon'thavetofindaformalparkor

gardentopracticeshinrin-yoku.Instead,youcanenjoytheeffectsofnaturewhereverthere're

plants.（正如Miyazaki强调的那样，你不必找一个正式的公园或花园来练习“森林浴”。相

反，你可以在任何有植物的地方享受大自然的效果）”可知，Miyazaki认为人们可以在任

何有植物的地方享受“森林浴”，所以要进行“森林浴”是很容易的。故选A项。

答案：C

【答案解析】

本文是议论文。文章论述了要当一个多面手，而不是当某方面的专家。

【详解】

细节理解题。第二段中提至『'Somepeopleseemwillingtoworkaroundtheclockintheir

narrowspecialty....Thesespecialistscouldworkattheofficeuntilteneachnight（有些人似乎

愿意在他们狭隘的专业领域夜以继日地工作。……这些专家可以每天晚上在办公室工作

到十点。）“由此可知，这些专家往往花大部分的时间在工作上。故选C。

【详解】

细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Thedoctorwhoisalsoapoetandphilosopherisasuperior

doctor,onewhocangivesomuchmoretohispatientsthanjustgoodmedicalskills.（这位既是

诗人又是哲学家的医生是一位优秀的医生，他能给他的病人提供比良好的医术更多的东

西。厂可知，作者认为一名优秀的医生是将其他领域的知识带到工作中的医生。故选

Do

【详解】

推理判断题。文章第四段中提到“Thingsareconnected.Letyourexpertiseinonefieldfuel

yourpassionsinallrelatedareas.Someofyourinterestsmaynotappeartobeconnectedbut,

onceyouexploretheirdepths,youdiscoverthattheyare.（事物之间是有联系的。让你在一

个领域的专长激发你在所有相关领域的热情。你的一些兴趣可能看起来没有联系，但一

旦你深入探索，你就会发现它们是有联系的。）”下文举出Toni的例子“MyeditorToni,

whoisalsoawriter,haseditedseveralhistorybooks.ShehasdecidedtostudyChinesehistory.

FascinatedbythestructuralbeautyoftheForbiddenCityasapainter,sheisequallyinterested

tolearnmoreaboutChinesephilosophy.（我的编辑Toni也是一位作家，她编辑过几本历史

书。她已决定学习中国历史。作为一名画家，她痴迷于紫禁城的建筑之美，同时也对更

多地了解中国哲学感兴趣。）''由此可以推断，作者想通过Toni的例子说明看似不相关

的兴趣，如果深入探索的话，在某种程度上是有联系的。故选D。

【详解】

主旨大意题。文章第一段提出观点“Thereissomethingtobesaidforbeingageneralist,even

ifyouareaspecialist」即使你是一个专家，做一个多面手也是有道理的。）”作者提出即使

你是一个专家，也应该当一个通才；文章第二段提出“Thedrawbacktobeingspecialistsis

weoftencometoknowmoreandmoreaboutlessandless.（成为专家的缺点是，我们经常越

来越多地了解越来越少的事情）”说明成为专家的不足之处是我们常常对越来越少的知识

领域了解得越来越深；第四段中提到“Generalists,…，knowalotaboutawiderangeof

subjectsandviewthewholewithallitsconnections^多面手...知道很多广泛的主题，并

能看到整个事物的联系）''说明当通才的优点往往对广泛的学科了解得很多，并从整体上

来看其中的所有的联系。因此推断作者的观点是应该当一个通才。因此文章的标题应为

4CBeMoreaGeneralistThanaSpecialist（做一个通才，而不是专家）故选C。

答案：D

【答案解析】

这是一篇议论文。文中作者主要就如今流行的一种强烈的反对机械记忆，支持“建构主义

活动''和”基于项目的学习”的教学方式提出了自己的看法。作者认为机械记忆的学习方式

仍然重要，同时指出了上述这两种教学方法存在的一些问题。

【详解】

词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“infavorofconstructivist（建构主义）activitiesand'project

basedlearning，”可知，如今的一种思潮支持“建构主义活动”和“基于项目的学习”，所以应

是强烈“反对”机械记忆，即划线词意为“反对”。故选C项。

【详解】

推理判断题。第三段前两句"However,learningbyrotememoryismoreimportantthanyou

think.Therearemanycasesinwhichhavingknowledgeimmediatelyatthetipofyourtongue

canhavegreatsocialandprofessionalvalue.”提到，然而，通过机械记忆来学习比你想象的

重要。在很多情况下，就在嘴边的知识可以产生巨大的社会和职业价值，接着作者举了

自己和尼日利亚企业家交流的例子，作者知道在尼日利亚讲约鲁巴语这个简单的事实赢

得了尼日利亚企业家的信任。所以作者提到这个例子是为了支持他通过机械记忆来学习

的观点。故选A项。

【详解】

主旨大意题。根据文章内容，结合第三段首句“However,learningbyrotememoryismore

importantthanyouthink.（然而，通过机械记忆来学习比你想象的要更重要）”可知，作者主

要就如今流行的一种强烈反对机械记忆，支持“建构主义活动”和“基于项目的学习”的教

学方式提出了自己的看法。作者认为机械记忆的学习方式仍然重要，同时指出了上述这

两种教学方法存在的一些问题。故选D项。

行车，或沿着回收的橡胶和塑料制成的桥走一小段路，就能到达餐厅厨房。所有的水

有助于减少埃留特拉岛学校的食物里程。故选C。

【详解】

推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“ThestudentswillleavetheIslandSchoolasconfidentteensto

家后，我全身心投入到可持续发展相关的项目中。”Anna说，她是2020年春季入学的学

生。Anna和她的朋友使用布餐巾和可重复使用的吸管。“我们通常步行和骑自行车，”她

补充说。“天气不好的时候，我们拼车。"）”可推断，读埃留特拉岛学校让Anna改变了

习惯，变得更可持续。故选B。
