【语篇解读】

这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个特色的英国旅行行程，包括行程时间和旅行安排等。

21.B【解析】细节理解题。根据BuckinghamPalaceTour部分中“Watchingthetraditionalchanging

oftheguardceremonyatBuckinghamPalaceisamustwheninLondon,andonthis4.5-hour

you'llgettoexperiencethisevent,aswellasothertypicalBritishtraditions.（在伦敦，观看白金

StonehengeandOxfordDayTrip,上述行程均在伦敦°故选D0

23.B【解析】细节理解题。根据WindsorCastle,StonehengeandOxfordDayTrip部分中“Thefirst

stopistheQueen'sofficialresidence:WindsorCastleforaudiotoursandachancetoseethe

【语篇解读】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学的定义和年轻人对科学教育的一些认知误区，以及作

者认为最好的教科学的方法。

24.D【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中“AHtoooften,youngpeoplegettheimpressionthatscience

isaboutlearningcertain"laws"andthenapplyingthemtodifferentsituations.Afterall,thafs

whatwemakethemdoontests,toshowthatthey*vebeendoingthework.Butthat'snotitatall.

（年轻人时常认为科学就是学习某些特定的“法则”,然后把它们应用到不同的情况下。毕竟,

这是我们让他们在考试中做的，以表明他们一直在努力。但事实并非如此）“可知，年轻人

的认知误区是认为教科学就是教法则和验证法则，故选Do

25,C［解析］细节理解题。根据第四段Tfstudentshadtobuildtheirownmodelsfromthegroundup,

itwouldbeliketryingtolearnprogrammingbyinventingcomputers.AsIsaacNewtonis

supposedtohavesaid,westandontheshouldersofgiants.Wemusttakemodelsbuiltbyothers

andgofromthere.（如果学生必须从头开始建立自己的模型，这就像试图通过发明计算机来

学习编程一样。正如IsaacNewton所说，我们站在巨人的肩膀上。我们必须借鉴别人建立

的模式，并以此为基础）”可知，作者认为让学生自己创建模型是件很难的事情，借鉴前人

已经建立的模型让学生一步步接触、学习并效仿才是最好的方法。故选C。

26.D【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段“Ofcourse,wecan'tstartfromscratch.（我们当然不能从头

开始）”以及"Wcmusttakemodelsbuiltbyothersandgofromthere.（我们必须借鉴前人已经建

立的模型并且从他们那里开始）''可知，作者反对让学生平地筑高楼的方法,认为难度过大。

而作者认为最好的方式是借鉴前人，从前人的经验出发进行科研。牛顿的话意思是：我们

站在巨人的肩膀上，即我们拥有很多可以参考的前人的经验和结论、理论模型能够用来借

鉴。可推知，作者引用牛顿的话是为了佐证自己的观点。故选D。

27.A【解析】主旨大意题。根据第一段“NOONEEVERsaidscienceeducationwaseasy.Certainly

theconceptsweteach,likeconservationofmomentumorquantummechanics,canbehardto

grasp.Butwhatreallycomplicatestheattemptisthatwe'realsotryingtoteachadeeperlesson

atthesametime—tohelpstudentsunderstandthenatureofscienceitself.（从来没有人说过科

学教育是容易的。当然，我们教的概念，如动量守恒或量子力学，可能很难掌握。但真

正让我们的尝试复杂化的是，我们同时也在试图教授更深刻的知识——帮助学生理解科学

本身的本质）“结合文章主要介绍了科学的定义和年轻人对科学教育的一些认知误区，以及

作者认为最好的教科学的方法。故A选项“教科学的最好方法”最符合文章标题。故选A。

【语篇解读】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要叙述了亚马逊对智能家居的未来愿景，以及描述了智能家居的设

备作用。

28.C【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“AtruesmarthomedoesnTjuslreactlocommands,it

canforeseewhatwillhappenandtakeactionaccordingly.^（一个真正的智能家居不仅仅是对

命令作出反应，它可以预见将会发生什么并且有依据的采取措施）可知，Asmarthome是

积极的并且可预测的。故选C。

29.C【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第三段“TheupdatedEchosmartspeakerlinethatwasrecently

displayeddoesn'tjusthaveashowynewlook,itcomeswithasuitoftechtokeepeverything

connected."（最近显示更新的Echo智能扬声器不仅具有显眼的新外观，还配备了一套技术

来保持所有连接）可知，它有一个吸引人的新外表，选项C与文意一致，故选C。

30C［解析］.细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“theAlwaysHomeCamisadronewithacamera.It

risesupfromitsdockingstationandfliesonpre-setpaths.Ifasecurityeventisdetected,itwill

sendwarningstoyourphone."（这个机器人是一个带相机的无人机，它从对接站升起，按照

照、发送消息以及侦测安全，但不能给警察打电话。故选C。

31.D【解析】主旨大意题。根据文章开头“Don'tyouwanttotalklessandsmilemore?Thatseemstobe
