选择要留学的大学。

【24题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章第一段"WhenIwasonmyresearchtofindtheperfectplaceto

studyin,Iconsideredmanyaspects（当我在我的研究中寻找完美的地方学习时，我考

虑了很多方面）”和uAftercomparingandevaluatingmanycitiesanduniversities,

IfinallydecidedonAustin.（在比较和评估了许多城市和大学之后，我最终选择了奥斯

汀。）”可知，作者在寻找大学时，经过了许多比较和评估，并多方考虑。由此可推知，作

者是非常小心谨慎的。故选B。

【25题详解】

词句猜测题。根据上文uUniversitylifewasnotverydifferentfromthelifeinMexico

【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了在俄罗斯刚刚宣布对北极这片海底地区的巨大

石油和天然气储备拥有主权之后，各国争相争取在这里的利润，由此而引出了对于“为什么

北极有这么多石油？”的讨论，原来有机物质被保存在这里的无氧盆地中，最终使其成为未

来数百万年有用的能源来源。

【28题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“RisingfromthecenteroftheArcticBasin,theflag

sentaclearmessagetothesurroundingnations:Russiahadjustlaidclaimtothe

vastoilandgasreservescontainedinthisunderwaterarea.（这面旗帜从北极盆地

的中心升起，向周边国家发出了明确的信息：俄罗斯刚刚宣布对这片海底地区的巨大石油和

天然气储备拥有主权。）”可知，树立旗帜是为了宣布在该地区勘探石油和天然气的特权。

故选D项。

[29题详解】

推理判断题。分析前后文语境可知，第二段末尾句“Butlongbeforethisoilracebegan,

howdidtheArcticbecomesorichinenergy?（但早在这场石油竞赛开始之前，北极是

如何变得如此丰富的能源的呢？）”可知，该句提出了一个关于“北极是如何变得如此丰富

的能源的”问题，而阅读文章第三段内容“Firstly,thismeansthere'sahugequantity

oforganicmaterialavailable,intheformofdeadseacreaturessuchasplankton

andalgae…Secondly,thesurroundingringofcontinentsmeansthattheArcticBasin

containsahighproportionofcontinentalcrust…That'ssignificantbecause

continentalcrusttypicallycontainsdeepdepressionscalledbasins,intowhich

organicmattersinks.（首先，这意味着有大量的有机物质可用...其次，大陆环意味着

北极海盆包含着很高比例的大陆地壳……这很重要，因为大陆地壳通常包含被称为盆地的深

洼地，有机质会沉入其中。）”可知，该段内容主要回答了“北极是如何变得如此丰富的能

源的”问题，由此可推知，第二段末尾句起到引出下文的作用，即，"Servingasa

connectinglink.（作为连接的纽带。）”。故选B项。

【30题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章末尾段内容“'Normally,inashallowseawithlotsofoxygen,

itwouldnotbepreserved.Butiftheseaisdeepenough,theoxygenatedwatersat

thetopwillbeseparatedfromtheanoxicconditionsatthebase,'Fraserexplained.

Conservedwithintheseoxygen-freebasins,themattermaintainscompoundsthat

finallymakeitusefulasanenergysourceformillionsofyearsinthefuture.（“通

常情况下，在富含氧气的浅海中，它不会被保存下来。但如果海洋足够深，顶部的含氧水域

将从底部的缺氧环境中分离出来，”弗雷泽解释说。这些物质被保存在这些无氧盆地中，这

些化合物最终使其成为未来数百万年有用的能源来源。）”可知，有机物质在无氧盆地中储

存下来而最终成为石油。由此可推知，无氧环境是形成北极丰富能源的重要因素。故选D

项。

【31题详解】

主旨大意题。通过阅读文章内容可知，文章第一二段用一个事件“各国争相争取北极石油和

天然气开采权”引出了文章的主旨，即第二段末尾句内容“Butlongbeforethisoilrace

began,howdidtheArcticbecomesorichinenergy?（但早在这场石油竞赛开始之前，

北极是如何变得如此丰富的能源的呢？）”，并在后文段落进行了详细的回答。因此，选项

C“WhyistheresomuchoilintheArctic?（为什么北极有这么多石油？）”贴合本文话

题。故选C项。

D

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了来自科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的一组研究人员发

明了一种革命性的机器人肌肉。

【32题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章第一段"Theyarestrongandflexibleatthesametime,canfeel

themovementstheyperformand,whenevertheysufferdamage,theycanself-heal.

（它们既强壮又灵活，能感受到自己的动作，一旦受到伤害，它们就能自我修复。）”可知，

它们能进行自我修复。故选A。

【33题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章第三段"Tomaketheroboticmuscleswork,theyfilledsome

flexiblematerialwithelectrodes（电极）andwithliquidandoil.Then,theyapplied

someelectricity,andtheliquidandoilstartedmovingaroundtheelectrodesand

poweredthem.（为了让机器人肌肉工作，他们在一些柔性材料中填充电极、液体和油。然

后，他们加上一些电，液体和油开始在电极周围移动，为它们提供动力。）”可知，该装置

是使用液体和油直接为电极供电。故选B。

[34题详解】

主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Thesemusclesarespecialbecausetheyarealso

self-healing.（这些肌肉很特别，因为它们也能自我修复。）”和aIntheend,thematerial

whichkeepstheliquid,theoilandtheelectrodesisextremelycheap.（最后，保

存液体、油和电极的材料非常便宜。）”可知，文章最后一段主要讲述的是机器人肌肉的优

势。故选C。

【35题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章第一段"AteamofresearchersfromtheUniversityofColorado

Boulderhavecreatedarevolutionarytypeofroboticmuscles.（来自科罗拉多大学

博尔德分校的一组研究人员发明了一种革命性的机器人肌肉。）”结合下文内容可知，文章

主要介绍了一个新的发明，这和科学相关。由此推知，这篇文章最有可能出现在报纸的科技

板块。故选D。
