【答案】4.C5.A6.B7.D

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述大学生不要盲目为了竞争而选择多个专业，一定要是因为热情和

激情才去选择多个专业。

【4题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段"WhensomeonehearswhatIstudy,I'musuallymeantwithtworeactions.Firstupisa

smallsmilewiththeword“overachiever“onthetipoftheirtongue.Thesecondisalookofconfusion,followedby

anexaggerated（夸张的）“why?”（当有人听到我学习的内容时,我通常会有两种反应。首先是一个小小的微

笑并且说“太有成就了"。第二种是困惑的表情，接着是夸张的“为什么？”。）”可知，当人们听到作

者的专业时，有的会很佩服，有的是很困惑。故选C。

[5题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段KPoliticalSciencecanbechallenging,buttome,ifsfuntoreadtheConstitution（宪

法）andseetheimpacteachwordhasonourinterpretation.（政治学可能具有挑战性，但对我来说，阅读《宪

法》，看看每一个字对我们的解释有什么影响是很有趣的。）”和第三段“Whatisgoingtomakeyou

impressiveisthepassionthatyouhave-whetheritbeinyourstudy,career,orsomethingelseyourcareerand

studywillenableyoutodo.（让你印象深刻的是你所拥有的激情---无论是在你的学习、职业生涯中，还是

在你的职业和学习将使你能够做的其他事情中。）”可知，是热情和激情使得作者喜欢学习政治学。故选

A„

【6题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段“Thismaysoundhardtoaccept,butifyouaredoubleortriplemajoringbecauseyou

thinkyou'reinaracewithyourpeers,you'reonlyrunningyourselfintotheground.Don'tdoubleortriplemajorif

youaredoingitforamarkonyourresume（简历）,becausethenyourlifewillbealivinghellforthenextfour

己撞到地上。如果你是为了简历上的一个分数而选择双主修或三主修，那么你的生活在接下来的四年里将

是一个地狱。）”可知，在作者看来，选择多个专业让大学生们处在糟糕的状况的原因是，他们只是为了在

跟同龄人竞争才选择多个专业的。故选B。

【7题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段“Whatisgoingtomakeyouimpressiveisthepassionthatyouhave-whetheritbein

yourstudy,career,orsomethingelseyourcareerandstudywillenableyoutodo.（让你印象深亥U的是你所拥有的

激情——无论是在你的学习、职业生涯中，还是在你的职业和学习将使你能够做的其他事情中。）”和最后

一段“Alwaysthinkaboutyour"why"whenitcomestothescheduleadoubleortriplemajorentails.Becauseat

theendoftheday,ifsgoingtobeyoudoingthehomework-sotrytoenjoywhatyou9redoingalongtheridefor

whatit，sworth.（当涉及到一个双主修或三主修课程的时间表时，一定要考虑你的“为什么”。因为在一天

结束的时候，是你自己在做家庭作业，所以试着享受你在旅途中所做的一切，因为它是值得的。）”可知，

作者写这篇文章的目的是在建议人们要带着激情去选择专业，强调激情在多专业中的重要性。故选D。

【答案】8.B9.A10.D11.D

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了无人机用于灯光表演有许多优点，但是它可能给环境带来的影响。

人们对无人机灯光表演有不同态度。

【8题详解】

词句猜测题。结合常识和第一段“Theappealoffireworkscouldfizzleoutwiththegrowinguseofdrones（无人

机）forlightshows,though.（不过，随着无人机越来越多地用于灯光表演，烟花的吸引力可能会fizzleout）”

中“fireworks”和“thegrowinguseofdrones”可知，烟花表演与无人机的表演是有共性的，都属于夜空中

的灯光秀，因此，当无人机越来越多地用于灯光表演，烟花表演就减少或被替代，由此推知，划线短语与

Windup意思相近，意为“结束”。故选B项。

【9题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段中Howitt的话“Dronesarereusableandthere'snofallout.Inthatsensethey'reavery

good,sustainableoption（无人机可以重复使用，而且不会产生放射性尘埃。从这个意义上说，它们是一个非

常好的、可持续的选择）”可推知，Howitt认为无人机展示的发展呈上升的趋势。故选A项。

【10题详解】

细节理解题。根据最后一段中Howitt的话“Wefindfireworksworkreallywellwhenteamedupwithdrones.

Butwedon'treallyseeitasaone-replacing-the-otheratall.Wefeelasifit'sjustanothertoolinthechestforhow

youenliventheskyandwhatyouwanttodowiththeshowyou'reputtingon（我们发现烟花和无人机配合时效果

非常好。但我们并没有真正把它看作是一个取代另一个。我们觉得它只是另一个工具，用来让天空生动起

来，让你想对你正在上演的节目做些什么）”可知，Howitt认为无人机并不会取代烟花，建议把它作为一种

选择。故选D项。

【11题详解】

推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了将无人机用于灯光表演的优点与它可能给环境带来的影响，以及

人们对无人机灯光表演的态度，结合第三段“Butnoteveryoneagrees.AspokespersonfromtheBritish

FireworksAssociationsaiddronescouldalsoposeenvironmentalproblems.（但并非所有人都同意。英国烟花协

会发言人表示，无人机也可能造成环境问题）”推知，我们可能在网站与环境有关的部分读到这段文字。

故选D项。

【答案】12.B13.C14.A15.C

【解析】

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了人类迁移的历史要比此前证实的要早，这一发现意味着现代人类有

可能在更长的时期内与其他古代人类群体相遇和互动，为文化和生物交流提供了更多的机会。

【12题详解】

推理判断题。根据第一段中的"humansfirstmovedfVomAfiicaintoEurasia（欧亚大陆）about60,000years

ago（人类第一次从非洲迁移到欧亚大陆大约是在6万年前）”和第二段中的“aprehistoricjawboneatthe

MisliyaCaveinIsrael（以色列）datingbacktonearly200,000yearsago....twist（在以色列Misliya洞穴发现

的一块史前颌骨可以追溯到近20万年前，几乎是在非洲以外发现的智人遗骸的两倍，而非洲被认为是人

类起源的地方，这给人类带来了新的意想不到的变化。）”可推知，我们的祖先离开非洲的时间比我们想象

的要早得多。故选B。

【13题详解】

词义猜测题。根据第一段中“Untilrecently,severallinesofevidence—fromfossils,genetics,and

archaeology-suggestedthathumansfirstmovedfromAfricaintoEurasia（thelandofEuropeandAsia）about

60,000yearsago,quicklyreplacingotherearlyhumanspecies,suchasNeanderthalsandDenisovans”可知，直至!J

最近，来自化石、遗传学和考古学的几条线索表明，大约6万年前，人类第一次从非洲进入欧亚大陆（欧洲

和亚洲的大陆），迅速取代了其他早期人类物种，如尼安德特人和丹尼索瓦人；由此可知，此处的they指

代前文的humansfirstmovedfromAfricaintoEurasia（第一批从非洲到欧亚大陆的人）。故选C。

14题详解】

推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的"Healsoaddedthattherecordnowindicatesthathumansprobablytravelled

beyondtheAfricancontinentwhenevertheclimateallowedit”可知，Hershkovitz教授还补充说，现在的记录

表明，只要气候允许，人类可能就会走出非洲大陆。由此可知，Hershkovitz教授认为气候是人类从非洲迁

徙的一个重要因素。故选A。

【15题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段中的"everyoneoutsideAfricacantracetheirancestorsbacktoagroupthatleft

around60,000yearsago.SotheinhabitantsoftheMisliyaCaveareprobablynottheancestorsofanyonealive

today”可知，非洲以外的每个人都可以追溯到大约6万年前留下的一个群体的祖先。所以Misliya的居民可

能不是今天活着的人的祖先。由此可推知，Misliya可能对当代人的基因贡献不大。故选C。

【答案】16.G17.B18.C19.D20.A

【解析】

【分析】本文是一篇选句填空。主要说明了家庭作业给学生带来的益处：锻炼学生时间管理能力，老师的积

极评价帮助学生树立自信等等。同时也指出家庭作业应当适当布置，否则就会变成一种惩罚。

16题详解】

根据前文Homeworkismadeupofout-of-classactivitiesandat-homeactivitiesteachersassigntostudents.Itcan

includepracticeassignmentsthatemphasizenewlyacquiredskills.可知，家庭作业由课外活动和教师分配给学生

的家庭活动组成。家庭作业可以包括巩固新获得的技能的实践作业。因此下文应为进一步说明家庭作业的

类型和作用，上文中的assignments可对应到G项中的assignments,G.Itcanbepreparationassignmentsto

makestudentsreadyforclassactivities.（它可以是准备人物，使学生为课堂活动做好准备。）符合文意，故选G。

【17题详解】

本句位于段首，有总起全段的作用，且根据后文Forexample,tocompletetheirhomeworkintime,childrenstart

dividingtheirtimeintostudyingandplaying,thuslearningtocompletetheirscheduledtaskswithinthetimethey

have.可知，为了按时完成作业，孩子们开始把时间分成学习和玩耍，从而学会在有限的时间内完成预定的

任务。所以本段是说明家庭作业可以通过锻炼学生的时间管理能力，而使学生受益。B.Homeworkcanbenefit

studentsinmanyways.（家庭作业可以在很多方面使学生受益。）符合本段文意，故选B。

【18题详解】

根据后文Teachers9positiveremarkscanhelpdevelopstudents9confidenceandencouragethemtokeepupwith

theirgoodwork.可知，老师的积极评价有助于培养学生的自信心，并鼓励他们跟上好工作的步伐。下文中

remarks对应至!jC选项中comments,C.Teachersgivecommentsontheworkthatstudentsdo.（老师对学生做的

工作给出评价）符合文意，故选C。

【19题详解】

根据前文Itprovidesthemwithaplatformtoexpresswhattheyknoworhavenewlyfound,andexhibittheirtalents.

可知，家庭作业给他们提供了一个平台，表达他们知道或新发现的东西，展示他们的才华。所以本段是在列

举家庭作业带给学生的好处有哪些。Itprovidesthemwithaplatformtoexpresswhattheyknoworhavenewly

found,andexhibittheirtalents.（它也让学生练习他们在学校学到的任何东西。）符合文意，故选D。

【20题详解】

根据前文Theamountanddifficultylevelofhomeworkassignmentsshouldmatchtheagesandabilitiesof

students.（家庭作业的数量和困难度应该与学生的能力和年龄相匹配），A.Otherwise,itwillbecomea

punishment.（如果不匹配，家庭作业就会成为一种惩罚。）是对上文的进一步补充说明，故选A。
