【答案】l.A2.C3.A

【解析】

这是一篇应用文。文章讲述了三个网络博物馆项目。

【1题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段**Shortlyafterannouncingthewinners,thesemuseumshadtoclosetheir

doorstohelpprotecttheircommunitiesfromthespreadofCOVID-19.”可知，在宣布获奖者后不

久，这些博物馆不得不关闭它们的大门，以帮助保护其社区免受C0VID-19传播的影响。由

此可知，新冠疫情的传播导致儿童博物馆不得不关门。故选A。

【2题详解】

细节理解题。根据CityMuseum|St.Louis,Missouri中"Thisseriestakesplaceeachweekday

wilhaneclecticlineupofprogramming-everythingfromfreeartclasses,storytellingsessionsand

museumtoursatupcomingexhibits.”可知，这个系列在每个工作日都有各种各样的程序安排

一从免费的艺术课程，故事会和即将到来的展览的博物馆参观。由此可知，CityMuseum

在工作日有课程安排。故选C。

【3题详解】

推理判断题。根据TheMagicHouse|St.Louis,Missouri中“Eacheditionfeaturesaprojectthat

kidsandtheirparentscandowithhouseholdmaterials,likemakingabanjooranimalfigures.（每

个版本都有一个项目，孩子和他们的父母可以用家庭材料来做，比如制作班卓琴或动物模

型。）和KohlChildren'sMuseum|Glenview,Illinois中“Kidscanlearnhowtofoldpaper

airplanes,learnaboutthephysicsofwheelsormaketheirownrecycledpaper.（孩子们可以学习

如何折叠纸飞机，学习轮子的物理原理，或者自己制作再生纸。）”可知，这两个博物馆都

注重强调实践经验。故选A。

【答案】4.D5.C6.A7.B

【解析】

【分析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要通过讲述作者发明无袋吸尘器的经历，揭示了“失败为成功之

母”的道理。

【4题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章第一段末尾句内容"Ihatedchangingthevacuumcleaner（真空吸尘器）

bagandpickingupthingsthemachinedidnotsuckup.Twentyyearslater,in1978,withthis

lifelongdislikeofthewaythemachineworked,Idecidedtomakeabaglessone.（我讨厌换真空

吸尘器的袋子，讨厌把吸尘器吸不进去的东西捡起来。二十年后，也就是1978年，我对这

台机器的工作方式一直很反感，于是决定做一台无袋的。）”可知，对于真空吸尘器的反感

导致了作者研制一种无袋吸尘器。故选D项。

5题详解】

主旨大意题。通读文章第二段内容，可知其段落结构为总分总结构，首句内容“Easiersaid

thandone,ofcourse.（当然，说起来容易做起来难。）”和末尾句内容“Theseweretoughtimes,

buteachfailurebroughtmeclosertosolvingtheproblem.（这是艰难的时刻，但每一次失败都让

我离解决问题更近了一步。）”点明本段主旨要义，即：作者发明无袋吸尘器过程中遇到的

一些困难。选项C.Thetoughprocessofthenewinvention.（这项新发明的艰难过程。）贴合主

旨。故选C项。

【6题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“Themajorvacuummakershadbuiltabusinessmodelbased

ontheprofitsfrombagsandfilters.Noonewouldlicensemyidea,notbecauseitwasabadone,but

becauseitwasbadforbusiness.（主要的吸尘器制造商建立了一种基于包装袋和过滤器利润的

商业模式。没有人会批准我的想法，不是因为它不好，而是因为它不利于生意。）”可知，

没人会认可作者的想法是因为真空吸尘器的包装袋和过滤器能够给商家带来盈利，而作者发

明的无袋吸尘器会使商家失去原有的能够带来盈利的部分，因此商家担心其不能带来盈利反

而可能会导致损失。故选A项。

【7题详解】

推理判断题。作者在文章末尾点明主旨，揭示道理：Today,Istillembraceriskandthepotential

forfailureaspartoftheprocess.Nothingbeatstheexcitementofinvention/今天，我仍然接受风

险和失败的可能性作为过程的一部分。没有什么能比得上发明带来的兴奋。）可知，作者的

“无袋吸尘器”发明经历使他明白了风险和失败在发明过程中是可能存在的。选项B.

Failureisthemotherofsuccess.（失败是成功之母。）正确陈述了作者的领悟。故选B项。

【点睛】阅读理解之段落主旨大意

首尾呼应原则：主题句在段落的开头和结尾两个位置上先后出现，形成前呼后应的格局。这

两个主题句叙说的是同一个内容，但用词不尽相同，这样不但强调了主题思想，而且显得灵

活多变。这两个句子并非简单重复，后一个主题句或对该主题作最后的评述，或对要点作一

概括，或使之引申留给读者去思考。比如文章的第2小题：

2.Whatdoesparagraph2mainlytellus?

AThehelpfromtheauthor'swife.

B.Thefinancialproblemsofthefamily.

C.TheloughprocessofIhenewinvention.

D.Theproceduresofmakingabaglesscleaner.

通过阅读文章第二段可知，该段的主题句在段落的开头和结尾两个位置上先后出现，形成前

呼后应的格局。因此结合首末两个主题句："Easiersaidthandone,ofcourse.（当然，说起来

容易做起来难。）”和**Theseweretoughtimes,buteachfailurebroughtmeclosertosolvingthe

problem』这是艰难的时刻，但每一次失败都让我离解决问题更近了一步。）”分析可知，选

项C.Thetoughprocessofthenewinvenlion.符合主旨要义。因此答案为C项。

C

【答案】8.D9.D10.B11.C

【解析】

【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了“良好的压力”对我们的健康有益”，事实上，“良好的

压力”可能有助于我们保持年轻、有魅力，甚至活得更长。

【详解】1.推理判断题。根据第二段第一句"DrMariosKyriazis,ananti-ageingexpert,points

outthatwhathe.calls"goodstress"isbeneficialtoourhealthandmay,infact,helpusstayyoung

andattractiveandevenlivelonger.''（抗衰老专家MariosKyriazis博士指出，他所谓的“良好

压力”有益于我们的健康，事实上，可能帮助我们保持年轻，有魅力，甚至活得更久。）可知，

Kyriazis博士的观点可能基于压力和健康之间的关系。故选D。

2.词句猜测题。根据上文中“AccordingtoDrKyriazis,runningforabusorhavingtoworkto

meetadeadlineareexamplesof“goodstress'*,thatissituationswithshort-termorlowstress.The

stressusuallymakesusreactquickly,andgivesusasenseofachievement-we

didit!（就是短期或低压力的情况。压力通常会让我们反应迅速，给我们一种成就感——我

们做到了！）根据上文“'Infact,thebody'sresponseisgreaterthanisneededtorepairthedamage''

可知，事实上，人体的反应大于修复损伤所需的反应，所以短期或低压力实际上使细胞比以

前更强壮。）可以推知，此处“it”指的是“短期或低压力”。故选D。

3.推理判断题。根据"OtherstressfulactivitiesthatKyriazissuggestsasfeeinggoodstress

includeredecoratingaroominyourhouseovertheweekend,packingyoursuitcaseinahurrytoreach

theairportontime,orshoppingforadinnerpartyduringyourlunchbreak.^^

（Kyriazis建议的其他有压力的活动包括感觉良好的压力，周末在家里装修房间，快速打包

你的西装准时到达机场，或者在午休时间去参加一个晚宴。）可知，在最后一分钟打包行李

去旅行可能是好的压力。故选B。

4.主旨大意题。根据第一段“However,somemedicalexpertsnowbelievethatcertainkindsof

stressmayactuallybegoodforus.”然而，一些医学专家现在相信，某些种类的压力实际上可

能对我们有益。根据第二段“DrMariosKyriazis,ananti-ageingexpert,pointsoutthatwhathe

calls"goodstress^isbeneficialtoourhealthandmay,infact,helpusstayyoung

andattractiveandevenlivelonger.”抗衰老专家马里奥斯・基里亚齐斯博士指出，他所说的“良

好的压力”对我们的健康有益，事实上，可能有助于我们保持年轻、有魅力，甚至活得更长。

所以短文的最佳标题为“承受压力，保持年轻故选C。

【答案】12.B13.D14.D15.C

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文，文章第一段告诉我们终生学习是非常重要的，接着介绍了促进孩子形成

终生学习习惯的三个建议。

【12题详解】

猜测词义题。根据划线词后句"Thisway,wehelpchildrenmakeconnectionsbetweenwhat

they'relearningatschoolandtheworldbeyondtheirclassroom."可知，通过提问可以把学校所

学的知识和外面的世界联系在一起，也就是说提问可以唤醒激发人们的好奇心。由此推知，

划线词的意思为“唤醒”，与awaken同义。故选B。

【13题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段第三句"Ialwaysquote（引述）herwhenthekidssaythey'reafraidtodo

orlearnsomethingbecausetheymightdoitwrongormakeamistake.^^（当孩子们说因为害怕做

错或者犯错而不敢去做或者学习一些东西时，我总是引用她的话）可知，作者经常引述Miss

Frizzle的话。由此推知，他赞成MissFrizzle的观点。故选D。

【14题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章第四段的""Learningthroughexperience,notjustfrombooks,isoneof

Ihebestwaystogivetheyouththeskillstheyneedforlifelonglearning,living,andworkinginthe

21stcentury.""（从亲身经历，而非仅仅从书本上学习，是让年轻人在21世纪终生学习、生

活和工作的最佳途径之一）可推知，通过亲身经历学到的知识是难以忘记的，会非常有用。

D项“TellmeandIforget,teachmeandImayremember,involvemeandIlearn.”（告诉我，我

会忘记；教我，我可能会记住；参与其中，我就学会了）中involvemeandIlearn正是通过

亲身经历的学习。故选D。

【15题详解】

推理判断题。文章第一段告诉我们终生学习是非常重要的，接着介绍了促进孩子形成终生学

习习惯的三个建议，属于与教育相关的内容。由此推知，这一内容应该出现在报纸上的教育

专栏。故选C。

【20题详解】

根据Puttingyourselfoultherecanfeellikeachallenge,butonceyoutakearisk,youwillcertainly

berewarded.（让自己走出去可能会让你觉得是挑战，但是一旦冒险，你就肯定会得到回报）

可知，本段主要讲要勇于冒险，B项Theytakechances.（他们冒险）可以作为本段标题，故
