B.Hopefulandcheerful.C.Seriousandfriendly. D.Proudandconfident.【答案】28.A29.B30.C31.D【解析】【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了JulitaHaber在福特汉姆商学院开设的一门课程，让学生们学习一段时间后进行动感单车锻炼，这是一种独特的教学方法。这也是福特汉姆大学的首个此类课程，哈伯认为这也是全美首个此类课程。她撰写了一份关于这种独特的课堂教学方法的研究报告，她称之为健身整合学习。【28题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“Thelightsgodown,musicplays,andayoungwomanonabikeatthefrontoftheclassencouragesstudentstospinfasterandharder.Whenthelightsgobackon,thestudentsonthebikespullouttheirnotebooks,andit’sclearthatthisisnotSoulCycle.Instead,it’safirstofitskindbusinessschoolcourseatFordhamUniversitythatistaughtonspinbikesinauniversity.(灯光渐暗，音乐响起，一位骑自行车的年轻女子站在教室前面，鼓励学生们骑得更快、更用力。当灯重新亮起，骑自行车的学生们拿出笔记本，很明显，这不是在SoulCycle。相反，这是福特汉姆大学开设的第一个在大学自行车上讲授的商学院课程)”再结合选项可推知，SoulCycle可能是一个健康俱乐部。故选【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“The75minute,twiceweeklycourseisthebrainchildofJulitaHaber,abusinessschoolprofessoratFordham.(这个75分钟、每周两次的课程是福德汉姆商学院教授JulitaHaber的创意)”可知，商学院课程是Julita最先想到的。故选B。【30题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的““It'sawonderfulwayofengagingstudentsandasaprofessor,asateacher,that'sreallygratifying,”shesaid.“Theydon'thavetheirsmartphones,andtheydon'thavelaptopssotheyarephysicallyengagedandalsomentallyengagedinwhatisbeingsaid.”（她说：“这是吸引学生的一种极好的方式，作为一名教授，作为一名教师，这真是令人欣慰。他们没有智能，也没有笔记本电脑，所以他们在身体上和精神上都参与到了谈话中。”）”可知，Haber认为学生可以全身心参与到课程中。由此推知，她对自己的课程很满意。故选C。【31题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“DonnaRapaccioli,theheadofFordham’sGabelliSchoolofBusiness,describedhowstudentswere“energized”bytheclassandsaidFordhamwasopentoexpandingittoothercourses.“Definitely,”RapaccioliansweredwhenaskedifHaber’scourserepresentsthefutureoflearning.(福特汉姆大学加贝利商学院院长DonnaRapaccioli描述了该课程如何让学生“充满活力”，并表示福特汉姆大学愿意将该课程扩展到其他课程。当被问及哈伯的课程是否代表了学习的未来时，拉帕乔里回答说：“当然。”)”可推知，DonnaRapaccioli对这种教学方法表现出自豪和自信。故选D。DImaginehowyou’dfeelifyouhadtogetmorethan9,000tonsofjunkouttothesidewalk.That’showmuchtrashisfloatingaroundinspace.Infact,there’sabout4millionpoundsflyingoverourheadsinlowEarthorbit.Daan,aDutchartist,andhisteamatSpaceWasteLabhaveeupwithacreativeplanthatcouldclearupspacejunkinaspectacularfashion.①Mostspacewasteesfromdeadsatellitesandrockets.Functioningsatellitesarethebackboneoftheinformationsystemsthatkeepourworldrunningsmoothly.Butallthesatelliteseventuallybeeobsoletewithinjustafewdecades.Whentheydieout,there’stheproblemofthemdriftinginouterspace,collectinginwhatscientistscallthe“graveyardorbit.”Maybeyou’rethinking,“WhyshouldIcareaboutgarbage12,500milesaboveme?”Well,allthatfunstuffthatsatelliteshelpbeamdowntous—mobilegames,Instagram,catvideos—couldbeshutdownbyspacewaste.Lotsofoldjunkfloatingaroundupthere,plusnewsatellitesaddedeachyear,meansmoreandmorehighspeedcollisions(碰撞).Andwhenchunksofjunkcrashintooneanother,theybreakapartintomillionsofpieces,quicklybuildingupspeedandturningintofastmovingobjects,whicharedangeroustooperationalsatellitesaswellasastronautsworkingontheInternationalSpaceStation.②Spacewasteisaproblemthat’sescalatedsomuch,somescientistssaythatby2050we’llbeforcedtostoplaunchingnewspacecraftaltogether,includingnewsatellites.Thinkaboutthatforaminute.Whenthelastsatellitesfinallybeedisused,GPS,cellphones,andtheInternetwillnolongerfunction.③Sowehavetofindawaytodealwiththisspacegarbage,andDaanpicturesasortoftrashpickup,whichinvolvesgroupsofsmallspacecraftcastinglargenetsintoorbitthatwouldcollectspacedebris(碎片)andsenditbacktowardEarthattopspeed.Here’sthebestpart—whilereenteringEarth’satmosphere,thepiecesofjunkwouldburnupallatonce,creatingalightshowsimilartohundredsofshootingstarsfallinginthenightsky.Aspectacleindeed!Togetreadyforsuchanamazingeffort,SpaceWasteLabhasbeentravelingtomajorcitiesacrossEuropeandenlighteningthepublicontheproblemofthejunkinspace.④ButDaandoesn’tjusttalkaboutwaystorelievetheproblem—he’screatedsomethingalittlegranderthanthat.InOctober2018,histeamlaunchedSpaceWasteLabPerformance,anoutdoorartexhibitionthatshowsthelocationofeachpieceofspacetrashusinglargelasersthatmakeeachdebrislookabitlikeastarwanderingslowlyandsilentlyoverthesky,allowingviewerstowaveandsay,“Hallo,spacetrash!”32.Theword“obsolete”(paragraph2)isclosestinmeaningto“______”.A.accessible
