familywholivefaraway.But,scientistsasked,whataboutpetparrots?Newresearchsuggeststhatthesechatty

友和家人打电话或视频聊天。但是，科学家们问，宠物鹦鹉呢?新的研究表明，这些健谈的生物也可能从

与同伴的虚拟交流中受益。）"和第二段"Feelingboredandlonely,theymaydeveloppsychologicalissuesand

caneventurntoself-harmingbehaviourslikepullingouttheirfeathers.（感至IJ无聊和孤独，他们可能会出现心理

问题，甚至会出现自残行为，比如拔羽毛。）”可知，宠物鹦鹉会感到无聊、孤独，研究人员借鉴人们用视

频通话来消除孤独的方法，看看鹦鹉会不会收益。所以研究的目的是为了帮助鹦鹉摆脱低落情绪。故选

CO

【5题详解】

主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Intheinitialstage,thebirdslearnttoringabellandthentouchaphotoof

anotherbirdonatabletscreentostartacalltothatbird.（在最初阶段，这些鸟学会了摇铃，然后触摸平板电脑

屏幕上另一只鸟的照片，开始向那只鸟发出叫声。）"和"InthesecondstageNhepaiTotscouklchoosetocan

otherbirdsattheirownwillbyringingthebellthenselectingthebirdtheywantedtocall.（在第二阶段，鹦鹉可

以根据自己的意愿选择叫其他鸟，先摇铃，然后选择他们想叫的鸟。）”可知，本段主要介绍了实验的两个

阶段，即实验的过程。故选B。

【6题详解】

推理判断题。根据第四段"Shecamealiveduringthecalls,,,onepetownersaidaboutherbird,accordingtoa

NortheasternUniversitystatement.（根据东北大学的一份声明，一位宠物主人对她的鸟说：“她在叫声中活

了过来。可推断，作者引用鹦鹉主人的话是为证明研究人员关于研究得到了令人鼓舞的结果的论述。

故选D。

【7题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“"TheanimalInternetisalreadyhere一therearehundredsofproductsonthe

marketthatletpetownersinteractwiththeiranimalsremotelyoverthenet,buttheirdesignisprimarilyfocusedon

whathumanswant,notwhattheirpetsneed,^^Hirskyj-DouglasfromtheUniversityofGlasgowadded.（格拉斯哥

大学的赫斯基・道格拉斯补充说：“动物互联网已经出现了一一市场上有数百种产品可以让宠物主人通过网

络远程与他们的动物互动，但它们的设计主要关注的是人类想要什么，而不是宠物需要什么。可知，

赫斯基-道格拉斯说市场上已有的数百种产品主要关注宠物主人的需求，而不是宠物的的需求，所以这次研

究和以往的差别是关注了宠物的需求。故选D。

Firm的经营范围，成功秘诀等相关情况。

【8题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段中的"Onecriticalreasonfortheirsuccessisthatunlikemanyfirms,MorelliLawhas

theexperience,patience,andresourcestopursuealldifficultCaSeS.（他们成功的一个关键原因是，与许多公司不

同，莫瑞里律师事务所有经验、耐心和资源来处理所有困难的案件。）”可知，他们成功的关键是他们拥有

court,44Atmycore,I'matriallawyer,,,saidBenedictMoreni.（当被问及在法庭上面对难缠的对手时，他们是否

会感到害怕时，莫瑞里说：“在我的内心，我是一名出庭律师。可知，有人问及他们在法庭上面对难缠

对手时是否会害怕，他说他是一名出庭律师，由此可知，上法庭不会让他们“害怕”，所以，划线单词的意

思是“使害怕”。故选A项。

【10题详解】

推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的uThefirmisdevotedtorealizingitsclients,goalsbothinsideandoutsideof

thecourtroom.（该公司致力于实现其客户在法庭内外的目标。）”可知，该律所致力于实现客户法庭内外的目

标，由此可知，他们旨在帮助客户获得法庭内外的好结果。故选C项。

whichhasoffices,lawyers,casesandexpertsalloverthecountry.（BenedictMorelli是纽约最受好评的律师之一，

他拥有MorelIiLaWFirm,该事务所在全国各地都有办事处、律师、案件和专家。）”可知，开篇引出MOrelIi

LawFirm,根据第二段中的"Onecriticalreasonfortheirsuccessisthatunlikemanyfirms,MorelliLawhasthe

experience,patience,andresourcestopursuealldifficultcases.（他们成功的一个关键原因是，与许多律所不同，

MOrelliLaW有经验、耐心和资源来处理所有困难的案件。）”可知，此处介绍了MOreniLaWFirm的成功关

键，根据第四段中的“Thefirmisdevotedtorealizingitsclients,goalsbothinsideandoutsideofthecourtroom.

（该公司致力于在法庭内外实现客户的目标。）”可知，此处介绍了该律所的宗旨，以及最后一段中

uCorporationsarepowerfulactorsinsocietyandMr.Morelliandhisteamfeelfortunatetobeinapositionto

providethehighestlevelofservicetotheirCIientS.（公司是社会中强大的角色，莫雷利先生和他的团队为能够

为客户提供最高水平的服务而感到幸运。）”可知，介绍了企业在社会中的价值和意义。由此可以判断，本

文主要介绍的是MoreIliLaWFirm的相关情况，所以本文以“MoreHiLawFirm"为标题符合文章内容，概括

了本文的主题。故选A项。

【答案】12.B13.B14.A15.D

【解析】

【导语】本文一篇议论文。文章提出在美国有三分之一的人没有享受到临终关怀这一现象，分析了其原因以

及对病人的顾虑进行了解惑。

【12题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段“OneisthatMedicare（医疗保险）doesn'tcoverthecostofpatients'life-extending

treatmentiftheyenterhospice.Medicarealsorequiresthatthedoctorreferringsomeoneforhospicecaremust

declarethatthepatientisexpectedtodiewithinsixmonths.（一个原因是，如果病人进入临终关怀医院，医疗

保险不包括他们延长生命的治疗费用.医疗保险还要求医生在转介病人接受临终关怀时，必须声明病人预

计将在六个月内死亡。）”可知，很多病人不早点去临终关怀医院是因为医疗保险的要求不支持临终关怀。

故选B。

【13题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段“Thephilosophyofhospiceistoneitheracceleratenorpostponedeath.AsDr.Matt

Kestenbaum,ahospicedirector,putit:"Weletnaturetakeitscourse,andwegivepatientsallthethingstheyneed

tobecomfortable.,'（临终关怀的理念是既不加速也不推迟死亡。正如临终关怀主任马特•凯斯滕鲍姆博士所

说：“我们顺其自然，我们给病人提供他们需要的一切让他们感到舒适的东西。“）”可知，临终关怀服务

的目的是减轻病人的痛苦。故选B。

【14题详解】

细节理解题。根据第四段“Dying"naturally"inhospicedoesnotdenypatientsthetreatmentforcommon

diseasesIikebloodclotsJ在临终关怀中“自然”死亡并不会剥夺病人对血块等常见疾病的治疗。）”可知，

病人对进入临终关怀医院的顾虑是他们将失去对常见疾病的治疗。故选Ao

【15题详解】

推理判断题。作者通过提出问题、分析原因、打消病人的顾虑，推广临终关怀这项服务。作者只在第二节

分析了临终关怀医院不受欢迎的原因，所以选项B不是写作目的。所以作者写这篇文章的目的是推广临终

关怀服务。故选D。

第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分）

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是一些关于如何利用水的治疗力量的建议

【16题详解】

根据空前的aNowadays,manyofusarefindingourselvestiredout,strugglingtobuildbalancebackintoour

IiVeS.（如今，我们中的许多人都发现自己疲惫不堪，努力恢复生活的平衡）”可知，当前，很多人处于疲惫

状态，在努力地建立生活中的平衡，根据空后的"Spendingtimenearoceans,IakeS,riversandotherbule

spacescanprovidearangeofbenefitsincludingreducinganxiety,easingmentaltirednessandrefreshingus.（在海

洋、湖泊、河流和其他蓝色空间附近度过一段时间可以带来一系列好处，包括减少焦虑、缓解精神疲劳和

让我们精神焕发）”可知，与水相关的环境在一起一段时间会有很大帮助，由此可推断，此空处应是承上启

下的作用，指出水可以帮助我们缓解疲惫。D选项"Accordingtoresearchers,watercanhelpus.（据研究人员

称，水可以帮助我们）”符合题意。故选D项。

【17题详解】

根据分析语篇可知，此处应为本段的主题句，应为祈使句，根据空后的"Youlikelyhavesomewaterclose

by,evenifitisjustapondalongsidetheroad.Startthere.Thengetouttowateryoucanvisitontheweekendora

vacation.Urbanwatercounts—rivers,canalsandfountains.（你附近可能有一些水，即使它只是路边的一个池

塘。从这里开始。然后到你可以在周末或假期参观的水里去。城市用水一一河流、运河和喷泉）”可知，该
