参考答案

1、答案：B

解析：细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句Takeaviewisadesirableannualcompetition

forphotographersfromallcornersoftheUKandbeyond.可知，该比赛的参赛者是来自英

国各地以及其他国家和地区的摄影师们。故选B项。

2、答案：A

解析：细节理解题。根据表格部分对谢泼德摄影作品的描述中的Itwasanextremely

coldwinter'sevening…以及对史密斯摄影作品的描述中的…totakesomewinterimages.可

知，二者摄影作品的共同点是拍摄的都是冬天的画面。故选A项。

3、答案：C

解析：推理判断题。综观全文可知，本文是一篇应用文，根据文中的关键词Landscape

Photographer,entries,competition等可知，本文介绍了风光摄影师大赛及其相关摄影作品,

与摄影艺术有关。由此可知，文章最有可能选自艺术类杂志。故选C项。

4、答案：A

解析：细节理解题。根据第一段Tmnotatrainedmusician,butI'velearnttoreadmusicso

IcanhelpMariainherperformance.（我不是受过训练的音乐家，但我学会了识谱，这样

我就可以在Maria的表演中帮助她）”可知，因为Titterton识谱，所以可以在Maria的钢

琴表演中为她翻页。故选A。

5、答案：C

解析：推理判断题。根据第三段"Alotofskillsareneededforthejob.Youhavetomake

sureyoudon'tturntwopagesatonceandmakesureyoufindtherepeatsinthemusicwhen

youhavetogobacktotherightspot.（这项工作需要很多技能。你必须确保你不会一次翻

两页并且必要的时候确保你回到前面找到音乐重复的部分）"可知，为钢琴家翻页这项

工作很需要技巧，所以Titterton的工作要求是很高的。故选C。

6、答案：B

解析：细节理解题。根据第四段"Silentonstagecommunicationiskey,andeachpianisthas

theirownstyleof"nodding"toindicateapageturnwhichtheyneedtopractisewiththeir

pageturner.（无声的舞台交流是关键，每个钢琴家都有自己的“点头”风格来表示翻页，

他们需要和翻页者进行练习）”可知，Titterton需要练习识别钢琴演奏者的“点头"示意来

翻页。故选B。

7、答案：D

解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段"He'sinterestedinthemusic,feelingeverynote,andI

havetosay:'Tum,turn!'（他对音乐很感兴趣，感受着每一个音符，所以我不得不说："翻

页，翻页！"）"可知，MsRaspopova的丈夫因为对音乐感兴趣，所以帮她翻页的时候总

是沉浸在音乐中而忘掉自己的工作，她不得不去提醒。故选D。

8、答案：B

解析：细节理解题。根据theaveragefamilyspentmoremoneyonitspetsthanonits

children,普通家庭花在宠物上的钱要比花在孩子身上的多，同时，对doggyparlors的介绍

也是为了介绍养宠物的花费有多大，故选Bo

9、答案：B

解析:词义猜测题。根据"Itisdifficultnottofeelangryaboutthiswhenconsideringwhat

thesameamountcoulddoforvictimsofstarvat沁nandpoverty"当考虑到饥饿和贫困的受

害者能得到多少钱时，很难对此不感到愤怒,可知,togethotunderthecollar是"生气"的意

思,feelingoverwhelminglyangry"感到无比愤怒"，符合语境，故选B。

10、答案：C

解析：推理判断题。根据Icanseenoreasonwhyweshouldgetupsetwhenanimalsare

cutupformedicalexperiments.作者认为没有任何理由应该为医疗实验而导致动物被削减

而感到不安，因此可知在医疗实验中动物是最有用的，故选C。

11、答案：C

解析：推理判断题。从全文可知作者对养宠物的态度是反对的.作者认为宠物会花费很

多的钱，会带来疾病，会造成损失，故选Co

12、答案：D

解析：推理判断题。根据第二段"Ifwecanunderstandthescienceofthesechanges,we

mighthelpfarmersbettermanagecoffeeproductioninthefaceofthisandfuture

challenges.（如果我们能理解这些变化的科学原理，我们可能会帮助农民在面对当前和未

来的挑战时更好地管理咖啡生产。）"可推断,这项新研究的目的是帮助农民提高咖啡作

物的质量。故选D。

13、答案:C

解析:细节理解题。根据第四段"Higheraltitudesareconnectedwithcoolertemperatures.

Itresultsinslowerripening（成熟），long-timefruit-fill,andhigheraccumulation（积累）of

tasteandsmell（海拔越高，温度越低。它会导致成熟较慢，果实的充实感较长，味道和气味

的积累也会更高。）”可知，高海拔对咖啡很重要是因为它给咖啡足够的时间成熟。故选

Co

14、答案：B

解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段"Throughshademanagementincludingdeveloping

shade-growncoffeesystemswithbestlevelsofcoverage,thepapercontinued.（论文接着说，

通过荫蔽管理，包括开发荫蔽种植的咖啡系统，达到最佳的覆盖水平。）”可知，开发有效的

遮阳系统可以解决日照问题。故选B。

15、答案：C

解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段"Plentyofstudieshaveinvestigatedhowclimatechange

couldbeharmfultotheproductionofcoffeebeancrops.Butanewscientificreviewhas

attemptedtofocusspecificallyonhowglobalwarmingmightaffectthetasteandsmellof

coffee.Badnewsisthatnotonlycouldthecoffeeofthefuturebehardertocomeby,itcould

tastebad,too.（许多研究已经调查了气候变化如何可能对咖啡豆作物的生产有害。但是，

一项新的科学综述试图特别关注全球变暖可能如何影响咖啡的味道和气味。坏消息是,

未来的咖啡不仅更难获得，而且味道也不好。）"及全文可知，本文主要介绍了科学家通过

研究气候对咖啡质量的影响和解决措施。所以"Climatechangeaffectscoffeequality（气

候变化影响咖啡质量）”作为文章标题最为合适。故选Co

16、答案：①-⑤BCFEG

解析：①根据设空处后的Sothemainthingisjusttoshowupandbeadventurous,trying

differentfoodsandtalkingtostrangers.可知，最主要的事情就是去露面、去冒险，尝试不

同的食物并和陌生人交谈;故此处表示“如果你要走出舒适区或者要第一次走进某人的

房子,那么第一步就是去探索"。B项与下文话题一致,符合语境。

②根据设空处前的Ifyoucanstarttheconversationwithaquestion及设空处后的itcan

bringin"Ihavethisold,broken-downvehicle"or"Irodethebus..."可知，设空处应该是问

了一个问题,并且此问题和“交通方式”有关,故C项"如果你问这个问题你怎么到这里

的?'"与上下文衔接连贯,符合语境。

③根据设空处的问号可将选择范围缩小至A项和F项,再结合下句中的关键词wine和

soapbox可知,此设空处应提及爱喝酒以及爱讲话的人,故F项”那个喝多了或者不停说

话的人呢”与下文为语义顺承关系，符合语境。此处亦可通过下文中的Ifyou'rethehost

排除A项。

④根据设空处上文可知,此段主要讲述如何应对爱讲话的人。E项”或者把谈话引到他

们没什么好说的话题上"是在介绍应对爱讲话的人的方法,与上文话题一致，衔接自然；

且上文已经提到了一些方法,故E项以Or开头,符合语境。

⑤根据设空处上文可知，此段主要讲如何应对令人尴尬的沉默，即冷场,方法是给予主人

赞扬以化解尴尬。故G项"他或她是那个最能深刻体会到尴尬的人"与上文衔接连贯,符

合语境。G项中的awkwardness是关键线索。

17、答案：D

解析：考查动词及语境理解。A.teach教授;B.compare比较;C.assess评估;D.speak讲

话。句意:在过去的38年里,王先生多次假扮别人，甚至学会了说不同的方言，这让他被称

为”奥斯卡获奖演员"。根据上文"Mr.Wanghaspretendedtobesomeoneelsemanytimes"

可知，能扮成别人，还会讲不同的方言。故选D。

18、答案：C

解析：考查名词及语境理解。A.lawyer律师;B.doctor医生;C.policeman警

察;D.businessman商人。句意:这位60岁的老人不是演员，而是警察。根据下文"Tolook
