【答案】24.A25.D26.D27.C

【导语】本文是记叙文，讲述了少年ZachBates身患自闭症却凭借自己坚强的毅力完成了超级马拉松，他

成功的背后，是他对梦想的执着追求和父母无条件的支持，御风前行，把所有不可能变成可能。

24.推理判断题。根据第一段的"Fightingthroughpainafterrunningfbr28hours,andamidthesoundoftiredfeet

strugglingthroughtheArizonadirt-finallysoft,soothing（舒缓的）musiccouldbeheardoverthehorizon.The

finishline,whichwasonce100milesaway,wasrightinfrontofhim.Asmall,roaringhumanvictorytunnel

welcomedZachBatesasheranacrossthefinishline.（在经历了28个小时的痛苦奔跑之后，伴随着疲惫的双脚

在亚利桑那州的泥土中挣扎的声音，终于可以听到地平线上柔和、舒缓的音乐。曾经远在100英里之外的

终点线就在他面前。当ZachBates跑过终点线时，一条小小的、轰鸣的人类胜利通道欢迎着他。厂可知，他

完成了马拉松，因此可能感到很累，但很愉快。故选A。

25.推理判断题。根据第二段的“Diagnosedwithautism（自闭症）attheageoffour,Batescompletedthe100-mile

ultramarathon（超级马拉松）earlierthisyear,becomingtheyoungestfinisherintherace'shistory,aged19.（贝茨在

四岁时被诊断出患有自闭症，今年早些时候，他完成了100英里超级马拉松比赛，成为该赛事历史上最年

轻的选手，年仅19岁。）”可知,A项“Becausehewasdiagnosedwithautism.（因为他被诊断为自闭症。）”、B

项“Becausehewasacross-Countryteammember.（因为他曾经是学校越野队成员。）"以及C项“Becausehe

graduatedfromhighschooljustnow.（因为他刚从高中毕业。）”都是他的家人们已经知道的事情，家人们并不

会因为这些已知的事实而感到惊讶。根据常理推断，家人们是觉得Bates的这个新目标不太实际，故选D。

26.细节理解题。根据第三段第一句中的“butBrian,hisfather,foundwaystohelp,trulymakingitafamily

affair（但他的父亲Brian找到了帮助他的方法，真正把它变成了家庭事务）”可知，Bates的成功离不开家人的

全力支持；根据第三段最后一句"WithHendrixanddelaRosalexpertise,theyoungAmericanpreparedby

competinginshorterdistancesandsuccessfullyworkedhiswayuptothe100-milerinashorttime.（在Hendrix和

delaRosa的指导下，这位年轻的美国人准备参加较短的距离比赛，并在很短的时间内成功地跑到了100英

里。）“可知，Bates的马拉松比赛能够顺利完成也得益于教练Hendrix和delaRosa的专业指导，以及Bates

对目标的坚持不懈。而D选项在文中并未提及。故选D。

27.推理判断题。通读全文内容可知，第一段为Bates的高光时刻，取得了马拉松比赛的胜利；第二段介绍

了Bates是自闭症患者但有自己的目标;第三段介绍父母原本感到惊讶，随后全力以赴地支持Bates的理想。

结合以上内容并根据本文最后一句中的"Ifwelistentoourchildrenandallowthemtodowhattheywanttodo

andbeasupporttothem,you511besosurprisedatwherethey511endup（如果我们倾听孩子的心声，允许他们做他

们想做的事，并支持他们，你会对他们最终的成就感到惊讶）”可知，本文主要讲的是少年ZachBates身患自

闭症却凭借自己坚强的毅力完成了超级马拉松，他成功的背后，是他对梦想的执着追求和父母无条件的支

持，御风前行，把所有不可能变成可能，因此我们能从这个故事中学到没有什么是不可能的，即Nothingis

impossible,故选C。

【答案】28.A29.D30.C31.B

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了绿色空间对减少心理压力、增进幸福感所起到的作用，研究同样

发现将绿色空间与蓝色空间结合起来，效果会更佳。

28.推理判断题。根据首段首句“Beingingreenspacesandconnectingwithnatureisgoodfbryourphysicaland

mentalhealth.（置身于绿色空间，亲近大自然对你的身心健康都有好处）”和末句"Apopulation-basedstudy

foundthatapproachtowaterincreasedpositivefeelingsofwellbeing.（一项基于人群的研究发现，接近水会增加

积极的幸福感）”可知，作者首先提出了我们所熟知的绿色空间对我们缓解压力的重要性，接着提出了蓝色空

间的效果。由此推知，作者讲述绿色空间的目的是为了导入自己要讲的话题。故选A。

29.细节理解题。根据第三段末句“Canalsandriverscontainnotonlywaterbutalsoanabundanceoftreesand

plants,whichmeanstheircapacitytoimprovementalwell-beingislikelytobeduetothemultiplebenefits

associatedwithbothgreenandbluespaces.（运河和河流不仅包含水，还包含丰富的树木和植物，这意味着它

们改善人类福祉的能力可能是由于绿色和蓝色空间带来的多重好处）”可知，将绿色空间与蓝色空间结合起来,

效果会更好。故选D。

isanotableassociationbetweenencounteringwildlifeandmentalwell-being.Takencollectively,thesefindings

provideanevidencebaseforwhatwethoughtaboutwaterandwell-being.（运河和河流也为一系歹！J野生动物提供

了家园，我们知道，遇到野生动物和心理健康之间存在着—联系。总的来说，这些发现为我们对水和幸福的

看法提供了证据基础。）”可知，这些发现为我们对水和幸福的看法提供了证据基础。由此推知，感受自然生

活与幸福感之间的联系是明显的。划线词与significant（显著的）意思一致。故选C。

31.推理判断题。根据最后一段末句"Theavailabilityofspacestobeinnature一bothgreenandblue一willhelp

calmtheiranxiety,stress,andhelpboostmentalhealth.（自然空间的可用性---无论是绿色还是蓝色----将有

助于缓解他们的焦虑和压力，并有助于促进心理健康）”可推知，作者对于蓝色空间和绿色空间的作用的研究

持赞成的态度。故选B。
