C.thewirelessconnectionisnotsatisfactoryinsummer

D.youngergenerationsmakeupthemajorityofparkvisitors

【答案与解析】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了黄石公园的门票以及可以选择的住宿及游玩的地方。

2L细节理解题。根据小标题“Howmuchistheentrancefee?"下面的”$35-Private,non-commercialVehiCIe;"可

知，私家非商用车辆入场费是35美元，没有说是每个人35美元，是一辆车35美元。因此，Jeffery带爸

爸和女儿开车去黄石公园的费用是35美元。故选C。

22.推理判断题。根据画线句上文"WinterisatimeofbeingabitOfSOCialiSOIatkm.（冬天是一个有点社交孤立

的时期）"和下文“Nowitismorerestrictedunlessyoucanaffordasnow-coachorguidedsnowmobileIoUr.（现在，

除非你能负担得起雪地教练或雪地摩托导游，否则这里的限制就更大了）”可知，公园冬天人很少，基本与

世隔绝。因此在过去的几年，在冬天参观黄石公园是更加经济的，而现在除非你负担得起滑雪教练等费用，

要不然可玩的限制更多。因此画线句的隐含意思是，就费用而言，以前冬天是参观黄石公园的好时机。故

选D。

23.细节理解题。根据小标题“CanɪgetCellandWi・Fi?”下面的"Cellserviceisextremelylimited,withreception

onlyavailableinornearmajordevelopedareas.Insummer,serviceisoftenmaxedoutintheseareas.（手机月艮务

极其有限，只能在主要发达地区或其附近接收。在夏季，这些地区的服务通常会达到最高水平）”可知，在

夏天，游客可能会遇到无线网络服务问题。故选C。

【答案与解析】本篇为记叙文。文章讲述r安德鲁•麦克林登建立了一个基金会，和小儿康复医院合作，

给身体有残疾的小孩提供适应性自行车来帮助他们获得锻炼和快乐的故事。

24.细节理解题。由第一段“About15yearsago,AndrewMcLindon,abusinessownerandpassionateeyelist,was

ridinghisbikeinAustin,Texas,whenhethoughtaboutafriend,s12-year-oldson.Theboyhadneverknownthe

joyofbikingbecausehesufferedfromabrainconditionthatoftencausedbalancedisturbances4安德鲁•麦克林

登是一位企业主，也是一位充满激情的眼科医生。大约15年前，他在德克萨斯州奥斯汀市骑自行车时，

突然想起了一位朋友12岁的儿子。这个男孩从来都不知道骑自行车的乐趣，因为他患有经常导致平衡障

碍的脑部疾病）"和第二段"Whenhegothome,McLindon,now60,wentonlineandfoundathree-wheel

recumbent（侧卧的）bikewithaseatbelt,perfectforachildwithbalanceissues.（回到家后,现年60岁的麦克林

登在网上找到了一辆带安全带的三轮卧式自行车，非常适合有平衡问题的孩子）“可知，安德鲁•麦克林登

想帮助朋友的儿子，他因脑部疾病在平衡感上有问题，因此他上网去搜索适合有平衡问题的孩子的特殊自

行车，故选DC

25.推理判断题。根据第三段“ThatsmilelaunchedtheMcLindonFamilyFoundation.Fundedbydonations,the

groupworkswithpediatricrehab（ZhJL康复）clinicstofindchildrenwhocanbenefitfromowningbikeandto

helpcrafteachbiketotheparticularneedsoftheChild.（这个微笑创立了麦克林顿家庭基金会。在捐款的资助

下，该组织与儿童康复诊所合作，寻找可以从拥有自行车中受益的儿童，并帮助制作每辆自行车，以满足

孩子的特殊需求）“可知，麦克林登家族基金会创立是为了满足孩子的特殊需求，给残疾儿童提供适合他们

的适应自行车。故选C。

26.细节理解题。根据第二段aWhenhegothome,McLindon,now60,wentonlineandfoundathree-wheel

recumbenl（彳则臣卜的）bikewithaseatbelt,perfectforachildwithbalanceissues.Soontheboywascyclingaround

带安全带的三轮卧式自行车，非常适合有平衡问题的孩子。很快，这个男孩就和他的同龄人一起在街上骑

自行车，玩得开心，同时锻炼了身体）”可知，适应性自行车能提供锻炼和乐趣。故选B。

27.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Sofar,thefoundationhasgivenaway450bikes,andthat,sjustastart."Ido

alotofthings.ɪrunalotofcompanies/McLindonsays.ςButgettingthesekidstheirbikesisthemostimportant

thingthatIdoJ（至IJ目前为止，该基金会已经赠送了450辆自行车，而这仅仅是个开始。“我做很多事情。麦

克林登说，我经营着很多公司。但让这些孩子拥有自行车是我做的最重要的事情J）”可知，麦克林登认

为给孩子们自行车是他做的最重要的事情，说明他认为自己付出的努力是值得的。故选A。

A.Favorable.B.Intolerant.C.Objective.D.Negative.

【答案与解析】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了进化分子生物学家贝丝•夏皮罗对复活渡渡鸟持消极的

态度。

28.主旨大意题。根据第二段中'"Whenmostpeoplethinkaboutde-extinction,they'reimaginingcloning,,

Shapirosaid.Cloning,theapproachthatcreatedDolly,thesheepin1996andElizabethAnn,theblack-footed

ferretin2020,createsanidenticalgeneticcopyofanindividualbyputtingDNAfromalivingadultcellintoan

eggcellfromwhichthenucleus（细胞核）hasbeenremoved.AdultcellscontainalltheDNAneededtodevelop

intoalivinganimal.EggcellsthenusethatDNAasablueprinttoturnthemselvesintomanykindsofcells-skin,

organs,bloodandbones-theanimalneeds.（M⅛^i⅛,当大多数人想到灭绝灭绝时，他们想象的是克隆。克隆

技术在1996年创造了多利羊，在2020年创造了黑脚雪貂伊丽莎白・安，它通过将一个活的成年细胞的DNA

放入一个细胞核被去除的卵细胞中，创造了一个完全相同的个体遗传副本。成年细胞含有发育成活的动物

所需的所有DNA。然后，卵细胞利用这些DNA作为蓝图，将自己转变成动物所需的多种细胞——皮肤、

器官、血液和骨骼户可知，第二段主要介绍了克隆的步骤。故选B项。

29.推理判断题。根据第三段中“Forexample,mammoths（猛鸡）arealsoextinct,buttheywereveryclosely

relatedtomodemAsianelephants,soresearchersareattemptingtobringmammothsbackfromextinctionby

creatingahybridmammothwithsomemammothgenesreplacingpartoftheelephantgenomeinanelephantegg

cell.However,therearelikelymillionsofgeneticdifferencesbetweenthegenomeofanAsianelephantandthat

ofamammothaccordingtoShaPiro.（例如，猛吗象也已经灭绝，但它们与现代亚洲象的亲缘关系非常密切，

因此研究人员试图通过创造一种杂交猛鸡象，用一些猛吗象的基因取代大象卵细胞中的部分大象基因组，

使猛鸡象从灭绝中复活。然而，根据夏皮罗的说法，亚洲象和猛吗象的基因组之间可能有数百万个基因差

异）“可知，猛鸡象和亚洲象虽然亲缘关系非常密切，但要利用亚洲象来复活猛吗象也是非常困难的，结合

第三段中“MammothsandAsianelephantsareprettycloselyrelated,whereasithadbeenmorethan20million

yearssincethedodoandtheNicobarpigeonhadanycommonancestors.Geneticdifferencesbetweenthetwobird

speciesarethereforemuchgreater（猛鸡象和亚洲象的亲缘关系非常近，而渡渡鸟和尼科巴鸽子在2000多万

年后才有了共同的祖先。因此，这两种鸟类之间的遗传差异要大得多）”可知，渡渡鸟和尼科巴鸽子的差异

远比猛吗象和亚洲象的差异大得多，所以复活难度会更大。由此推知，夏皮罗想通过猛狗象的例子说明渡

渡鸟很难复活。故选A项。

30.词义猜测题。根据上文“Geneticdifferencesbetweenthetwobirdspeciesarethereforemuchgreater（因此，

这两种鸟类之间的遗传差异要大得多）''可知，渡渡鸟和尼科巴鸽子差异非常大，由此推知，复活渡渡鸟是

艰巨的任务，划线词与tough意思相近，意为“艰难的:故选C项。

31.推理判断题。根据第四段中“Geneticdifferencesbetweenthetwobirdspeciesarethereforemuchgreater,

makingitaformidabletasktocreateasuccessfulhybridinthelab,ShapiroSaid.（夏皮罗说，因此,这两种鸟类

之间的遗传差异要大得多，这使得在实验室中创造一个成功的杂交物种成为一项艰巨的任务）”和第五段中

“Evenifscientistsmanagetobringdodosback,theislandwheretheyoncelivedisaverydifferentplace

nowadays,whichmakeitimpossibletoreintroducedodoswithoutmajorintervention.（即使科学家们设法把渡渡

鸟带回来，它们曾经生活的岛屿现在已经是一个非常不同的地方，这使得在没有重大干预的情况下不可能

重新引入渡渡鸟）''可推知，夏皮罗对复活渡渡鸟持消极的态度。故选D项。
