hit-makersalongsideboothsandexhibitsfeaturingLouisiana'snativecuisine,arts,andcrafts.

（长期以来，参与者一直在以路易斯安那州的本土美食、艺术和工艺品为特色的摊位和

展览旁欣赏最新的热门歌手）”可知，新奥尔良爵士音乐节中的摊位和展览以路易斯安那

州的本土东西为特色。由此可知，该音乐节在路易斯安那州举办。故选D项。

22.细节理解题。根据NewportFolkFestival中“FoundedbyGeorgeWeinin1959andbest

knownforintroducingtheworldtothelikesofJoanBaezandBobDylan,NewportFolk

【答案】24.A25.D26.C27.B

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是现年49岁的PeiAimin年轻时就隐藏了自己

的写作天赋，在不被人注意的情况下创作出版了《田鼠姨妈日记》的故事。

24.词句猜测题。根据第二段中的"Inthepast,girlsoftendroppedoutofschoolatanearly

agetogetmarriedandsettleintotheregularroutinesofrurallife.（在过去，女孩往往在彳艮小

8

的时候就辍学结婚，适应农村的常规生活。）”可知，那时候女孩子们小时候就辍学结婚

开始农村的常规生活，结合划线单词前的“Afew,likePei,however（然而，像Pei这样的

少数人）”可知，像Pei这样的少数人应是与其他女孩不同，根据划线单词后的并列句“and

lookedforwaystoexpressthemselves.（并寻找表达自己的方式）“可知,她们在寻找表达自

己的方式，结合划线单词后的“awiderworld（一个更广阔的世界）”可知，此处表达的是她

们渴望一个更广阔的世界，所以，划线单词的意思与“渴望意义相近。故选A项。

25.细节理解题。根据第四段中的"Sometimesshewouldwateruselesslandjustsoshecould

readorwriteoutdoorswithoutbeingobserved.Sometimesshesatunderatree,expressingher

feelingsonpaperuntilsomebodycame,andshewouldhurriedlyhidethepapersandpen.（有

时她会给荒地浇水，这样她就可以在不被人注意的情况下在户外读书或写作。有时她坐

在树下，在纸上表达自己的感受，直到有人来，她会赶紧把纸和笔藏起来。）”可知，她

会在不被人注意的情况下读书或写作，看到有人的时候，会将纸和笔藏起来，为了写作

她需要躲避他人。故选D项。

26.细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的"Afterreadingandwritinglikethatforyears,Pei

tookeveryonebysurprisewhenshepublishedabook,DiaryofAuntVble.（在这样的阅读和

写作多年之后，Pei出版了一本书《田鼠姨妈日记》，让所有人都大吃一惊。）”可知，在

这样的背景下阅读和写作，还出版了一本书，这让所有人大吃一惊。故选C项。

27.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Peisaidshehopedthebookwouldhelpreaders

understandthatfarmworkconsistsofbothhardshipandfun.（Pei说，她希望这本书能帮助

读者理解，农活既有艰辛，也有乐趣。）”可知，Pei希望这本书能让更多的人了解农场

的真实生活。故选B项。

【答案】28.C29.C30.D31.D

【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了“鸟笼效应”以及我们该如何在生活中恰当地利

用它。

28.主旨大意题。第二段首句“"Birdcageeffect"meansthatwhenyougetanitemoneday,

youwillpreparemorethingstomatchit.Weeksago,Iwasinthecompanyoffriendsengaged

inshopping.Onesaidthatshewantedtobuyagoodwritingpentomatchthedelicate

andthuslovereading,notjustreading.Ijokedthatshemusthavefallenforthe“birdcage

effect”.Butthefriendsaidwithasmile:"Whynotusethe'birdcageeffect'instead?"（"鸟笼

效应”是指当你有一天得到一件物品时，你会准备更多的东西来搭配它。几周前，我和

朋友一起去购物。有的说，她想买一支好的写字笔，搭配姐姐送给她的精致笔记本，让

她爱上记读书笔记，从而爱上读书，而不仅仅是读书。我开玩笑说她一定是受了“鸟笼

效应”的影响。但朋友笑道：“为什么不用‘鸟笼效应’来代替呢？"）“可知，朋友告诉作者

可以反向使用“鸟笼效应”，作者第一次听说“鸟笼效应”可以反向使用，由此可知，第二

段主要讲述了作者对“鸟笼效应”的看法有了改变，第三段第一句话“Forthefirsttime,I

heardthatthe"birdcageeffect''canbeusedinreverse（逆向）.（第一次听说"鸟笼效应''可以

反向使用）”也是提示，说明作者对“鸟笼效应”的看法发生了改变，故选C。

29.推理判断题。根据第三段中“However,thiscan'thelpbutremindmeofmiddleschool,

andIseemtohaveusedthe1"birdcageeffect”.Passingbyabookstoreoneday,Ipurchaseda

magazineandsawthecallforcontributionspublishedinthemagazine,soIstartedwriting

witheagerhands,andthenIfellinlovewithwriting.（不过，这不禁让我想起了中学时代，

我似乎运用了“鸟笼效应有一天路过一家书店，我买了一本杂志，看到杂志上刊登的

征稿启事，我就开始急切地开始写作，从此我就爱上了写作）”可知，作者运用了“鸟笼

效应”的结果是自己爱上了写作，这是“鸟笼效应”给作者带来的积极影响，由此可推知，

作者提到她的中学经历的是为了证实“鸟笼效应”的积极作用。故选C。

30.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Ifitisa"'positivebirdcage"thatmotivatesustodevelop

upward,wecanclarifyourgoals,shopordecorateappropriately,andmotivateourselvesto

movetowardsourgoals.（如果是一个激励我们向上发展的“积极的鸟笼“，我们可以明确

自己的目标，适当的购物或装饰，激励自己朝着目标前进。）”可知，我们可以通过指导

我们的行为去实现合理的目标以此来积极利用“鸟笼效应”，故选D。

31.主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“"Birdcageeffect”meansthatwhenyougetan

itemoneday,youwillpreparemorethingstomatchit.（"鸟笼效应''是指当你有一天得到一

件物品时，你会准备更多的东西来搭配它。）“，第三段中“Forthefirsttime,Iheardthatthe

“birdcageeffect"canbeusedinreverse（逆向）.（第一次听说"鸟笼效应”可以反向使用）''和

最后一段“Buthowcanwegetridofthe“birdcageeffect“inmanythings,andevenusethe

“birdcageeffect“intheoppositeway?Various"birdcages“unavoidablyappearinlife,butwe

candistinguishthem.Ifitisnotinlinewiththeactualsituation,itisa"negativebirdcage”,

thenwemustlearntostoplossesintimeandmaintainaheartofabandonmentandseparation.

Ifitisa'"positivebirdcage^^thatmotivatesustodevelopupward,wecanclarifyourgoals,

shopordecorateappropriately,andmotivateourselvestomovetowardsourgoals.Atthis

time,youwillfindthatthe"birdcageeffect"isactuallynotsoterrible!（但如何才能在很多事

情上摆脱“鸟笼效应”，甚至反过来利用“鸟笼效应”呢？生活中难免会出现各种各样的

“鸟笼”，但我们可以区分它们。如果不符合实际情况，就是“负面鸟笼”，那么我们就要

学会及时止损，保持一颗抛弃、分离的心。如果是一个激励我们向上发展的“积极的鸟

笼”，我们可以明确自己的目标，适当的购物或装饰，激励自己朝着目标前进。这时候

你就会发现"鸟笼效应''其实并没有那么可怕！）”可知，文章主要介绍了“鸟笼效应”以及

我们该如何在生活中恰当地利用它，D项“鸟笼效应：如何利用它来对你有利”适合作文

章标题，故选D。
