【答案】31-33：DBC

【解析】本文介绍了加里森对于绘画的热爱。加里森说“如果他不能画画了，就像有人拿

走了他的声音一样。”最后加里森的父亲支持他画画。

[31]推理判断题。根据“WhenIwasten,Iwantedtoworkonmyfather,sship,,,Pasaid,

nVVhenThomaswasten,heaskedmetolethimplantthecorn,u"我十岁的时候，我想在我

父亲的船上工作，”爸爸说，“托马斯十岁的时候，他让我让他种玉米。”可以推知加里

森的喉咙绷紧是因为他认为爸爸会阻止他画画。故选D。

【32】推理判断题。A.unhappy不快乐的；B.worried担心的；C.afraid害怕的；D.ashamed

羞愧的。根据"No,youarelikebothofus.Youworkhard,likeThomas.Andyou,relikeme,

too.1havewanderingfeet,butyouhaveawanderingmind.Weneedtoseethingsdifferently.

“不，你和我们都一样。你像托马斯一样努力工作。你也和我一样。我有流浪的脚，但你

有流浪的心。我们需要以不同的方式看待事情。”可以推知，加里森听到父亲的这些话后，

w

是有点担心的。因此才有了下文的解释（"I'dratherlovetheIand9likeThomas,orthesea∙∙∙

我更喜欢陆地，像托马斯，或者大海……”）。故选B。

【33】推理判断题。根据Garrisonconsideredthis,thenreplied,"No,sir.Notquitelike

breathing.IfICoUldn'tdrawanymore,itwouldbe∙∙∙likesomeonetookawaymyvoice,n

Hehunghishead.加里森考虑了一下，然后回答说：“不，爸爸。和呼吸不一样。如果我

再也不能画画了，那就……就像有人拿走了我的声音。可以推知，加里森想继续画画。故

选C。

【答案】34-37:DABA

【解析】

(34)D主旨大意题。本文前三段谈到当人们依赖某些食物而这些食物开始消失时会引发饥荒,

又由第四段第一句"OnesolutiontothisPrObIem…”可知，接下来的几段谈论解决这个问题

的方法，故答案为D项。

(35)A细节理解题。由第一段和第二段内容可知，现在为了喂养地球上的70亿人口，大多

数农民仅仅种植某种农作物，养殖一些能够很容易大量生产的动物，故科学家们认为这种

食物具有单一性，过分依赖某种食物的现象会造成饥荒再次发生。故选择A项。

(36)A推理判断题，根据In1845,adeadlydiseasestruckthefarmsofIreland,killingall

theLumperpotatoplants,可知，1845年，一种致命的疾病袭击了爱尔兰的农场，这是一

个物种的死亡导致了一场可怕的饥荒，故选A。

【解析】本文讲述了艾米曾因为自己的父母听不见而自卑，而当她把父母带到学校见过老

师和同学尤其是和伊芙琳交谈后，艾米不会再因为父母害羞，而是以他们为骄傲。

【31题】

细节理解题。根据文中“Isweptmyopenrighthandintowardmybody,palm（掌心）up.”，

可知"welcome”的手语是张开的右手朝向身体，掌心向上，故选B。

【32题】

细节理解题。根据文中"Evelynnodded.tIt,slikeasecretcode.Wouldyouteachmesome

wordssometime?,Ismiled.tOfcourse.5”,可知当伊芙琳让我能教她一些手语时，我的心情

应该是从自卑到松口气，因为伊芙琳觉得我能用手语和父母交流很厉害，因此我是觉得骄

傲的。故选B。

【33题】

细节理解题。根据文章最后一段"1gotmyparents'attention.tMom,Dad,'Isaid,signing,4Γd

【答案】34.D35.B36.D37.C

【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了艺术家克里斯托在伦敦海德公园的湖中央展出的第

一件大型户外艺术品《伦敦马斯塔巴》，以及人们对这件作品不同的认识和理解。

【34题详解】

细节理解题。根据"Everyonewholooksatitwillseesomethingdifferent.”可知，每个人都会

看到不同的东西，结合选项，故选D。

【35题详解】

推理判断题。空后一段讲的是不同的人对这件作品有不同的认识，根据“Theymightwonder

ifChristowasmakinganannouncementagainstPOHlItion.”可知，有些人想知道克里斯托是

不是在为抵制污染发声，由此推断，空出的标题应该是围绕是否为抵制污染发声展开的讨

论，结合选项，故选B。

【36题详解】

推理判断题。Romantic浪漫的；空想的；Magical有魔力的；Realistic现实的；逼真的；

Mysterious神秘的；难解的。根据“Abstractionisanartisticstylethatdoesnotalwaysshow

SomCthingreCogniZableOrrCaIiStiC”（抽象是一种艺术风格，它并不总是表现可识别的或现

实的东西）可推断，这件艺术品比较抽象，抽象的东西一般比较难理解，结合选项，故选D。

【37题详解】

推理判断题。本题主要问艺术家的真正目的可能是什么？根据"Christosaidhehadnothing

specialinmindwhenhecreatedTheLondonMastaba.wTherearenomessages,,,Christosaid.

44Thereissomethinginittodiscoveryourself.ICanlIOtdireCtyou.”“可推断，克里斯托的真正

目的可能是鼓励人们自己发现和思考。故选Co

tight（紧的）littleknotcameinherthroatjustthesameasshecamenearMissO,Shay,s

水混杂在她棕色的脸上。她希望妈妈还没有回家，房子里空无一人。据此推断她不想让妈

妈看到她的情绪，因此推断她将在家隐藏自己的情绪，故选D。
