个简短而有力的故事，讲述他们生活中的一段有意义的经历，但今年有一个转折点：他们必

【答案】24.A25.B26.D27.C

【解析】

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在意大利托斯卡纳海岸附近的海底深处，一个不同寻

常的海底雕塑公园正静静地守护着大海。让我们一起来看看艺术建筑与水生生态系统是如何

合作的吧！

【24题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段中"Untilrecently,hewasforcedtosharecatcheswithathreatening

part:illegal*/bottomtrawlers”,whorandomlyspoilalargequantityofoceanlifeastheyfish,

draggingaweightednetalongtheseafloorbehindtheirboats."（直到最近，他还被迫与一个

具有威胁性的部分一一非法的“海底拖网渔船”分享渔获物。这些渔船在捕鱼时随意破坏了

大量海洋生物，他们在船后的海底拖着加重的渔网。）可知，非法海底拖网渔船通过随意伤

害大量海洋生物来威胁海洋。故选A项。

【25题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段中“Fanciulli'sstyleofartisanalfishing（手工捕鱼）,incontrast,needsto

besustainableasdamagingtheecosystemcouldreducefishermen'sincome."（相比之下,

Fanciulli的手工捕鱼方式需要可持续，因为破坏生态系统可能会减少渔民的收入。）以及“The

underwater“HouseofFish“sculpturepark,whichwasstartedin2015,wasencouragedbythis

fisherman'sdesiretodosomethingthatwentbeyondthehandfulofconcreteblockshehad

previouslyconvincedlocalauthoritiesandsomeenvironmentalgroupstodropintotheseatotry

andstop川egaltrawling."（“鱼之家”水下雕塑公园于2015年启动，受到这位渔民的鼓励，

他希望做一些事情，而不仅仅是他之前说服当地政府和一些环保组织投进海里试图阻止非法

拖网捕鱼的几块混凝土积木。）可知，当海洋生态系统遭到破坏时，Fanciulli这种手工捕鱼

的工作也会受到影响，因此他曾说服当地政府和一些环保组织将少量混凝土块扔进海里，试

图阻止非法拖网捕捞，并且还想做出更多的尝试，于是在2015年的时候水下“鱼之家”雕

塑公园建成了。这些行为都是为了保护海洋的生态系统。故选B项。

[26题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第四段中的"Concreteblocksorsculpturescanbreakweightedtrawlernets.

Theycanalsoplayaroleasartificialreefs,givingcoralsandothersaplacetolive,andvarying

shadeandlightingtohelpspeciesflourish.Thankstotheunderwatersculptures,somespecies

notseeninalongwhilesuchasgroupersandlobstershavereturned.n昆凝土块或雕塑可以打

破加重的拖网。它们还可以扮演人工珊瑚礁的角色，为珊瑚和其他生物提供生存的地方，并

提供不同的阴影和照明，帮助物种繁荣发展。多亏了这些水下雕塑，一些许久未见的物种，

如石斑鱼和龙虾，又回来了。）可知，海底雕塑不仅可以破坏拖网捕捞的网，还可以充当人

工鱼礁，为珊瑚等海洋生物提供栖息地，促进物种的繁衍生息。因此推断本段主要介绍雕塑

公园在水下发挥的作用。故选D项。

【27题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段中的"Theseartworksarealreadycoatedwithalgae（海藻），asign

thatthenaturalhabitatiscomingbacktolife."（这些艺术品已经被藻类覆盖，这是自然栖息

地正在恢复生机的标志。）故可推知，从最后一段可以推断出托斯卡纳的海洋生态环境正在

恢复。故选C项。

【答案】28.C29.D30.B31.B

【解析】

【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了近日，意大利德高望重的诺贝尔物理学奖得主帕里

西(GiorgioParisi)意外卷入舆论场，起因是他在社交媒体中分享自己对于节能的小技巧，呼吁

意大利民众利用水烧开后的余温来煮意大利面，最大程度地减少燃气的使用。

【28题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段“Inavideosharedtosocialmedia,GiorgioParisi,whowonthe2021

NobelPrizeinPhysicsforhisgroundbreakingcontributionsinquantumtheory,recently

recommendedthatItaliansaddpastatoapanofboilingwater,bringittotheboil,waittwo

minutes,putalidon,andthenshutoffthegas."（在社交媒体上分享的一段视频中，因在量

子理论方面的开创性贡献而获得2021年诺贝尔物理学奖的乔治•帕里西(GiorgioParisi)最近

建议意大利人在一锅沸水中加入意大利面，煮沸，等待两分钟，盖上盖子，然后关闭煤气。)

可知，帕里西建设意大利人在煮意大利面时通过提前关掉煤气来节约能源。故选C项。

(29题详解】

词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“TheadvicebyoneofItaly'stoprankingphysiciststosavegasby

turningitoffwhencookingpasta（意大利面）hasbroughtaboutangerandprotestfrompasta

loversandchefsalike."（意大利一位顶级物理学家建议煮意大利面时关掉煤气以节省汽油，

这一建议引起了意大利面爱好者和厨师的愤怒和抗议。）可知，包括厨师在内的意大利民众

对Parisi的建议并不买账。且第五段划线词后紧跟着的伴随状语“stronglycontestingthe

theory”也说明厨师和意大利民众观点一致，反对这一建议。因此D选项“Voicedthesame

opinion"与划线词在意思上更为接近，且chorus这个词本身也有“异口同声（表示批评、反

对或赞扬）”的意思。故选D项。

【30题详解】

细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Mostrestaurantsalsotalkedback,contradictingthe

possibility,withthecommonconcernbeingthatParisi'ssuggestionwouldcompromisethe

flavourofpasta—aproductfirmlyrootedinItalianculture."（大多数餐馆也反驳了这种可能

性，他们普遍担心帕里西的建议会损害意大利面的味道，而意大利面是一种根植于意大利文

化的产品。）可知，餐厅反驳帕里西的主要原因是他们认为这样做会影响传统意大利面的口

感。故选B项。

[33题详解】

推理判断题。文章首段介绍意大利诺贝尔物理学奖得主帕里西有关煮意大利面的建议引起了

舆论风波，随后具体解释了帕里西的建议，以及意大利民众、厨师、餐厅等对他这一建议的

态度，符合新闻报道的倒金字塔结构。故选B项。

【答案】32.C33.D34.A35.B

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章从有意信息传递、语义和句法、大脑特定部位结构等方面

将鸟鸣和人类语言进行了比较，最后得出结论：鸟鸣是否属于语言，取决于人类如何定义语

言。但无论如何，对鸟类鸣唱的研究在一定程度上增进了人类对于语言进化的理解。

【32题详解】

推理判断题。根据第一段"Humanlanguageismadepossiblebyanimpressivegiftforvocal
