——★参考答案★——1～5CABCB6～10CABCA11～15CBABC16～20ABBCA【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了美国Balimore的四个博物馆的特点、果价等。21.C 细节理解题。根据BaltimoreMuseumofArt中第一段末句可知，法国属于欧洲，所以巴尔的摩艺术博物馆最适合对法国当代绘画感兴趣的人。故选C。22.B 细节理解题。根据BaltimoreMuseumofIndustry中的“Locatedinan1860soystercanneryonafive-acrewaterfrontcampus,theBMIoffersdynamicexhibitionsandhands-onactivitiesforguestsofallages.”可知，巴尔的摩工业博物馆是在一家生产罐头食品的工厂里建造的。故选B。23.D 数字计算题。根据AmericanVisionaryArtMuseum中的“Tickets:$9.5.Freeforchildrenaged6andunderandmuseummembers.”可知，如果一个7岁的男孩和他的父母一起去美国幻想艺术博物馆，他们应该付9.5×3=28.5美元。故选D。【语篇导读】本文是一篇新闻报道。为了对抗人们不断膨胀的腰围，美国的几个城市已经开始对含糖饮料征税，旨在减少消费，但新的研究表明，这些政策目前有一个根本缺陷。文章主要说明了这一政策的缺陷是什么以及研究是如何开展的。24.A 词义猜测题。根据第二段可知，研究发现，只有当商店的价签提到消费者在购买饮料时要支付该税时，含糖饮料的销售量才会减少，说明新的研究表明这些政策目前有一个弱点。故画线词意思是“弱点”。故选A。25.C 细节理解题。根据文章最后三段，尤其是倒数第三段中“butdiddeclineslightlywhenthetagsmentionedthepriceincludedtheaddedtax”和最后一段第一句可知，只有当价格标签标明需要支付附加税而不标明具体金额时，才可能会阻止消费者购买含糖饮料。故选C。26.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Ifcitieswantthesepoliciestobeeffective,theyneedtoregulatehowsugarydrinksarelabeledatstoresandtheycurrentlydon’tdothat”可知，“城市应敦促商店使用合适的价格标签”是Donnelly的建议。故选D。27.C 标题归纳题。根据第一段并结合全文可知，文章主要说明了美国的几个城市对含糖饮料征税这一政策的缺陷是什么以及研究是如何开展的。由此可知，C项“含糖饮料税效果不佳”可以作为文章的最佳标题。故选C。【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。AlanCowen的团队进行的一项新的研究发现，在不同的文化背景和社会环境中，人们会表现出普遍的面部表情。28.B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句可知，不同文化背景的人会有相似的面部表情。故选B。29.C 细节理解题。根据文章第二段关键句“Forthenewstudy,AlanCowen’steamused…tosystematicallyanalyzefacialexpressionsinthousandsofdifferentcontexts.”可知，AlanCowen团队通过分析面部表情进行这项研究。故选C。30.D 推理判断题。根据文章第四段末句可推知，面部表情在人类的发展过程中起着至关重要的作用。故选D。31.A 观点态度题。根据最后两段，尤其是最后一段最后一句可知，她既指出了这项研究的不足之处，又肯定了它的意义，所以，对于这项研究她是持客观态度的。故选A。【语篇导读】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是在网络的帮助下，雇主可以更为广泛地监控和评价求职者。32.C 细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容尤其是第二句可知，在线筛查正越来越被接受。故选C。33.B 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Asfortherighttorefuse,itishardlypracticable…‘Thatitselfislikelytobearedflag.’”可推知，求职者面对在线筛查最后只能屈服。故选B。34.B 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Peoplemaybeunableevertobefreeoftheironlinepast…havefoundtotheircost.”可知，已经有足球运动员为十年前的网络言论付出了代价，由此可推断，网络言论带来的影响力很难消除。故选B。35.A 标题归纳题。根据文章第一段及全文可知，文章主要介绍的是在网络的帮助下，雇主可以更为广泛地监控和评价求职者。所以A项（大雇主在监视着你）作为文章标题最为合适。故选A。【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。本文介绍了技术是一把双刃剑，它在给人们带来方便的同时，也会产生一些负面作用。36.D 空处上一句提到了我们中的大部分人为沉溺于网络和社交媒体而感到后悔，也就是技术的缺点；空处下一句提到了技术创造了一个全新的世界，并且也带来了无尽的机会，也就是技术的优点。所以空处应承上启下，既与上文构成转折关系，又引出下文，谈到技术带来的好处。故选D。37.G 通读本段可知，技术为人们的旅行提供了便利，所以空处也应与旅行有关。故G项“当然，旅行能使人们的生活更加多彩。”承接上文，说明了旅行对人们生活的影响。故选G。38.A 根据空前的“Peoplewishingtostudyforadegreecandosoattheircomfortablehomes.”和空后的“Teacherscanpost…areready.”可知，学生可以实现在家里学习，教师也可以在网上发布教学资料，学生们可以随时学习。由此可知，技术使学生们的学习具有灵活性。故选A。39.E 通读本段可知，本段主要介绍的是技术为购物带来的便利，所以空处也应与之相关。分析选项可知，E项“谈到购物时，技术也有很大的帮助。”符合语境。故选E。40.B 根据空前的内容可知，我们通常会被智能手机和科技分散注意力；根据空后内容可知，技术确实会让人上瘾，但我们不应该只关注手机和电脑，而应该关注人和面对面的对话。所以技术是否会对人们产生负面影响取决于人们能否找到平衡。故选B。【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Castillo在其父亲50岁生日时，给患唐氏综合征的父亲写了一封充满深情的信。在这封信中，Castillo表达了对父亲的敬意。41.C 根据上文提到的父亲患唐氏综合征一事及下文中But表示转折可知，对于Castillo来说，父亲一度使她难堪。此处embarrassment为可数名词，意为“使人难堪的人”。故选C。42.C 根
