familiesthroughcommunityactivitiesandnearbyinfrastructurelikeschools,greenspaces,

andchildcareservices.（该物业通过社区活动和附近的基础设施，如学校、绿地和儿童

保育服务，）”可知，该物业提供儿童保育服务。故选B项。

2.答案：C

解析：细节理解题。根据文章UrbanestHoxton中的“UrbanestHoxtonisaself-catered

residencethatissituatedineastLondoncoolestarea,withathrivingnetworkofbike,sports

clubs,andnightlifenearby.（最城市化的霍克顿是一个自给自足的住宅，位于伦敦东部最

酷的地区，附近有蓬勃发展的自行车网络，体育俱乐部和夜生活。）”可知，这里有蓬

勃发展的自行车网络，体育俱乐部和夜生活。由此可知，这个地方娱乐活动很丰富。

故选C项。

3.答案：D

解析：推理判断题。根据AngelLane中的“Therearelistsomeensuiterooms,studiosand

accommodationforcouples.（还为情侣提供套间、单间和住宿。）"、IntercollegiateHalls

中的"Thesitealsooffersensuiteroomsandstudios］该地还提供套间和工作室。）“、

UrbanestHoxton中的“-Weeklyfees:Ensuite,from£279（每周费用:套间，279英镑起）”和

UrbanestWestminsterBridge中的'"Weeklyfees:Twinensuite,from£189;Non-ensuite,

from£249;Ensuite,from£279.Studio,from£369（双人套间，189英镑起；非套间，249

英镑起；套间，279英镑起。Studio,369英镑起）”可知，四个地方都有套间。故选D

项。

4.答案：C

解析：推理判断题。根据文章第一段“HeworkedasacarverintheNewHavenareauntil

about1838,afterwhichhewenttoworkasabanknotecarverinNewYorkCity.Hedidn't

knowhiscarvingexperiencewouldbenefithimlater.In1840,KensetttraveledtoEuropein

ordertostudypainting.（他在纽黑文地区做雕刻工，直到1838年左右，之后他去纽约市

做纸币雕刻工。他不知道自己的雕刻经验日后会给他带来好处。1840年，肯赛特前往

欧洲学习绘画）”可知，Kensett一开始是一名雕刻工，他不知道他的雕刻经验日后会给

他带来好处，后来他去欧洲学习了绘画，而他的雕刻经验为他的绘画学习打下了扎实

的基础。故选C项。

5.答案：C

解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段“KensettisbestknownforhislandscapeofNew

YorkandNewEnglandandseascapes（海景画）ofcoastalNewJersey,LongIslandandNew

England.Heismostcloselyassociatedwiththeso-called“secondgeneration^^oftheHudson

RiverSchool.（肯赛特最著名的作品是纽约和新英格兰的风景画，以及新泽西、长岛和

新英格兰沿海的海景画。他与所谓的哈德逊河学派的“第二代”联系最为密切）”可知，

Kensett的画被誉为哈德逊河学派“第二代”。由此可知，Kensett的画深受哈德逊河学派

影响。故选C项。

6.答案：D

解析：细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Bytheearly1870sKensettwasspending

considerabletimeathishomeonContentmentIsland,onLongIslandSoundnearDarien

Connecticut.（到19世纪70年代初，肯塞特在康涅狄格州达里恩附近的长岛海峡的知足

岛上的家中度过了相当长的时间）“及第五段"ItwasduringthistimethatKensettpainted

someofhisfinestworks.（正是在这段时间里，肯塞特画了一些他最好的作品）“可知，正

是在19世纪70年代初在康涅狄格州的时候，Kensett画出了一些最好的作品。故选D

项。

7.答案：C

解析：推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Theartistwaswidelypraisedandfinancially

successfulduringhislifetime.Inturn,hewasgenerousinsupportoftheartsandartists.He

wasafullmemberoftheNationalAcademyofDesign,thefounderandpresidentofthe

Artists5FundSociety,andafounderoftheMetropolitanMuseumofArt.（这位艺术家生前广

受赞誉，经济上也很成功。反过来，他也慷慨地支持艺术和艺术家。他是美国国家设

计学院的正式成员，艺术家基金协会的创始人和主席，大都会艺术博物馆的创始人之

一）”可知，Kensett生前广受赞誉，在经济上也很成功。由此可推知，Kensett晚年可以

说名利双收。故选C项。

8.答案：B

解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Rightnowyoushouldknowabouttwowaysto

representnumbers,asRomannumeralsandArabicnumerals.（现在你应该知道两种表示数

字的方法，罗马数字和阿拉伯数字。）”可知，文章提到了罗马数字和阿拉伯数字这两

种表示数字的方法。故选B项。

9.答案：D

解析：推理判断题。根据文章第三段“And,whataboutgeometry（几何）？Acircleisalways

acircleanditscircumference（周长）isalwayscalculatedthesamewaynomatterwhereyou

areintheworld.Thesameholdstrueforanyotherfigureliketriangles,squaresor

rectangles.（那么，几何呢？圆始终是圆，无论你在世界上的哪个地方，它的周长都是

用同样的方法计算的。这同样适用于任何其他图形，如三角形、正方形或矩形。广以

及文章第二段第一句话“Mathisauniversallanguagebecausetheprinciplesand

foundationsofmatharethesameeverywherearoundtheworld.（数学是—种通用语言，因

为数学的原理和基础在世界各地都是一样的。）”可知，作者提到几何，是想表达它们

的计算方式总是一样的，是为了论证第二段第一句话：数学是一种通用性语言，它的

原理和基础在世界各地都是一样的。故选D项。

10.答案：A

解析：词义猜测题。根据文章第三段“Thesameholdstrueforanyotherfigurelike

triangles,squaresorrectangles.（这同样适用于任何其他图形，如三角形、正方形或矩

形。）“可知，这同样适用于其他任何figure,如三角形，正方形或矩形。三角形、正方

形、矩形等都是figure的代表，这些都是图形。由此可推知figure此处应指“图形”。A.

Shape.图形；B.Size.尺寸;C.Picture.图片;D.Field.田地、领域。figure与shape为同

义表达。故选A项。

11.答案：A

解析：推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Weliketovisitothercountriestoexperiencenew

scenery,newfoodsandadifferentculture.Ifsfuntowatchdocumentariesaboutfestivals

thatwedon'thaveinNorthAmerica.Thereisagreatdealofculturaldiversityintheworld

thatwecanenjoyandcelebrate.Butmathisonethingthatiscommontoeveryone.（我彳门喜

欢到其他国家去体验新的风景、新的食物和不同的文化。看关于电影节的纪录片很有

趣，这在北美是没有的。世界上有大量的文化多样性，我们可以享受和庆祝。但数学

对每个人来说都很常见。）”可知，世界上有大量的文化多样性，但是数学对每个人来

说都很常见。由此可推知，数学没有多样性。故选A项。

12.答案：B

解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中Toruleoutthepossibilitythatchewingwascausingthe

degradation,theresearchersspreadthesoftwetsubstanceinsidethebodyofsomerecently

deadwormsonasheetofplastic.Sureenough,eventheliquidwasabletoeatthroughthe

material,confirmingthatthewormshaveplastic-digestingenzymes（酶）.”为了排除咀嚼导

致退化的可能性，研究人员将这种柔软湿润的物质撒在一些刚死的蠕虫体内的一张塑

料上。可以肯定的是，即使是液体也能吃掉这些物质，这就证实了蠕虫有塑料消化

酶。”由此可知，用死虫做的实验发现“蜡虫体内存在一种能吃塑料的化学物质。”故选

Bo

13.答案：C

解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中Whilethenewsiscertainlyencouraging,noteveryone

isconvinced.TheMichiganStateUniversity'sRamaniNarayanbelievesthetinypiecesof

microplasticsreleasedbytheplastic-eatingwormswouldpickupharmfulsubstancesand

transportthemupthefoodchain,causing,evenmore,harmtotheenvironmentandhuman

health.“尽管这一消息确实令人鼓舞，但并非所有人都对此深信不疑。密歇根州立大学

的RamaniNarayan认为，这些以塑料为食的蠕虫释放的微小塑料微粒会带走有害物

质，并将其转移到食物链中，对环境和人类健康造成更大的危害。”由此可知，Ramani

Naravan对Bertocchini的发现持"怀疑"态度。故选C。

14.答案：A

解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中Instead,theresearcherwantstoidentifytheenzyme

thathelpsdegradetheplastic.Theresearchersays,maybewecanfindthemolecule（分子）

andproduceitonanindustriallevel,ratherthanusingamillionwormsinaplasticbag.”相

反，研究人员想要找出帮助降解塑料的酶。研究人员说，也许我们可以找到这种分子

并进行工业化生产，而不是用一百万只蠕虫装在一个塑料袋里。”由此可知，

Bertocchini后来的研究重点可能是塑料降解酶的结构。故选A。

15.答案：B

解析：标题判断题。根据第一段Thoughplasticshoppingbagsarecheapanduseful,they

causewidespreadpollution.Now,wemayhaveanunlikelyhelpertohelpcleanupour

garbage-asmallwaxworm."虽然塑料购物袋便宜又有用，但它们造成了广泛的污

染。现在，我们可能有了一个意想不到的帮手来帮我们清理垃圾一一只小蜡虫。”由此

可知，B项Waxwormshaveanappetiteforplastic.（蜡虫喜欢吃塑料。）为最佳标题。

故选B。

16.答案：DBACF

解析：①上文"IfyoutraveltonearlyanyChinesecityinthesummertime,youwillsee

people,mostlymenwearingT-shirts,sittingoutonthesidewalksonlowchairsintheshade,

playingagamewithlargerounddisksofwood.5,（如果你在夏天去中国的任何一个城市

旅行，你会看到人们，大多数是穿着T恤的男人，坐在人行道上的阴凉处的矮椅子

上，用大圆盘木头玩游戏）描述了下象棋的景象，下文“Xiangqidatesbackasearlyas

theWarringStatesperiod.”（象棋的历史可以追溯到战国）介绍象棋可以追溯到战国时

代，所以空处应该指出这个游戏是象棋，D项“这个游戏叫象棋，一个普通人的游戏”

符合逻辑关系。故选D。

②根据上文“XiangqidatesbackasearlyastheWarringStatesperiod.Whileexpertshave

differentopinionsastowhocreatedXiangqiandhowitislinkedtoWesternchess,thereisno

doubtthatbytheT
