22.细节理解题。根据Eurostar部分中的“For20minutes,you'llactuallyberiding150feetunderwaterthrough

thefamedEnglishChannel.”（20分钟内，你将在水下150英尺，穿过著名的英吉利海峡。）可知，Eurostar旅

程的最特别之处是你将在水下150英尺穿过著名的英吉利海峡。故选B。

23.细节理解题。根据Trans-SiberianRailway部分中的“Alongtheway,you'llpassthrougheighttimeszones

24.C25.B26.D27.C

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者在一次拒绝一个乞讨者的请求后，内心难安，非常愧疚。利用自己在报

社的工作，写了一篇专栏鼓励所有读者在自家花园里种植一排豆子，去帮助那些挨饿的邻居。

24.词义猜测题。根据第一段'Tdreadthesigns:"Don'tgivemoneytobeggarsasmostofthemareswindlers（我

看到标语上写着:“不要给乞丐钱，因为他们大多数都是swindlers）”可知，作者径直走开没有帮助那个乞讨

者，因为认为他们是骗子。cheaters是近义词。故选C。

25.推理判断题。根据第一段“SoIshookmyheadandkeptwalking.（于是我摇了摇头，继续往前走。）”以及

第三段“Theincidentkeptbotheringmefbrtherestoftheweek.Ihadmoneyinmypocketanditwouldn'thave

assumedtheworstofafellowhumanbeing.（这个星期剩下的时间里，这件事一直困扰着我。我口袋里有钱，

即使他不是一个真正的乞丐，给他一两美元也不会要我的命。在一个寒冷的夜晚，我把一个人往最坏的方

面想可知，作者认为他假设了一个人类同伴最坏的一面是因为他本可以帮助一个饥饿的人，但他却走

开了。故选B。

26.推理判断题。根据第五段“Outoftheblue,Icameupwithanidea.Bean'sCafe,alocalcharityservicekitchen,

feedshundredsofhungrylocalpeopleeveryday.Whynottrytogetallmyreaderstoplantonerowofvegetables

orflowersintheirgardensfbrBean's?PlantarowforBean's.It'scleanandsimple.（突然间，我想到了一个主

意。Bean'sCafe是当地一家慈善服务厨房，每天为数百名饥饿的当地人提供食物。为什么不试着让我所有

的读者在他们的花园里为Bean种植一排蔬菜或鲜花呢?种一排豆子。它干净而简单。）”可知，作者提出了“为

豆子种植一排”的想法来弥补他所做的事。故选D。

27.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“InApril1995,theGardenWritersAssociationofAmerica（GWAA）heldtheir

annualmeetinginAnchorageandafterlearningourprogram,PlantaRowfbrBean'sbecamePlantaRowForThe

Hungry.Theideathenwastohaveeverymemberwriteortalkaboutplantingarowforthehungry,whichbrought

theprogramtonationalattention.（1995年4月，美国园艺作家协会（GWAA）在安克雷奇召开了年度会议，在

学习了我们的项目后，“为豆子种一排”变成了“为饥饿者种一排“。当时的想法是让每个成员都写或谈论为饥

饿的人种植一排，这使该计划引起了全国的关注。）“可知，1995年，GWAA扩大了该计划的概念，并将其

推广到全国。故选C。

【导语】本文为一篇说明文，主要介绍了光污染的定义、造成的危害及防治建议等。

28.细节理解题。根据文章第二段关键句"Itpresentsailformsofmisusedman-madelight.Theobviouscauseof

lights,streetlightsandmanymore.（它展示了各种形式的误用人造光。造成光污染的明显原因是户外照明产品

使用不当。它可以是办公室照明，汽车大灯，车站灯，街灯等等厂可知，光污染是滥用各种人造光源而形成

的，可以说是光技术的坏影响，故选C。

29.细节理解题。根据文章第四段关键句"Italsoleadstothereleaseofgreenhousegasesandglobalwarming.

Afterall.coalorgasisusedforproducingelectricity.（它还会导致温室气体的释放和全球变暖。毕竟，煤或天然

气是用来发电的）”可知，光需要电，而电是烧煤或煤气发出来的。因此，从这个角度来说光污染会引起全球

变暖，故选D。

30.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段关键句"Also,useonlytherequiredlightingequipmentfbrbothhomeand

offices.（此外，只使用家庭和办公室所需的照明设备厂可知，在家里和办公室里只用必需的照明产品便可减

少光污染，即避免不必要的照明，故选C。
