【答案】21.D22.A23.B

【解析】

【分析】本文是一则广告。文章介绍秘鲁四个不同地方的旅游情况，欢迎游客去秘鲁旅行。

[21题详解】

推理判断题。根据MachuPicchuTour部分提至！J的“Incas，drystonemethod.”和CuscoTour提至！J“Cusco,the

capitaloftheIncaEmpire可知，如果Jack爱好印加文化，推荐他去MachuPicchu和Cuscoo故选Do

[22题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章内容可知，AmazonRainforestTour花费一天时间乘船去森林中部，三天时间探索，

所以是四天；MachuPicchuTour是一个四天的徒步旅行；Cusco也是花费四天旅行；LakeTiticaca先花费一

天时间到达，再花费三天时间游览。因此可知，四个旅游的共同之处都是四天的旅游。故选A。

【23题详解】

推理判断题。根据全文最后一段“SoeandexperiencewhatPeruhastooffer.FormorebrochuresaboutPeru,

contactusattourinfo@.（所以，来秘鲁体验一下吧。想了解更多关于秘鲁的小册子，请通过联系

我们）”可知，文章的写作目的是吸引更多的游客来秘鲁。故选B。

【答案】24.D25.C26.B27.C

【解析】

【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了乌干达妇女Butundu学习骑摩托车，尽管这在这个性别固定的社会几

乎不可能，她仍旧学会了骑摩托车并赚钱养家，她还希望通过她的经历鼓励其他乌干达的其他女性，打破

性别界限。

【24题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段的“The27yearolddecidedtolearntorideamotorbiketwoyearsago.Initially,the

decisionwastosavemoneyontravelbetweenthecapital,Kampala,andthemoreruralareaswheresheworkedas

asocialworker.（27岁的她两年前决定学骑摩托车。最初，她做这个决定是为了节省往返于首都坎帕拉和她在

那里做社工的农村地区的路费）”可知，Butundu学习骑摩托车是想要节省路费。故选D。

【25题详解】

词句猜测题。上文“Butunduearnsupto£10adayonhermotorbikeandisthechiefbreadwinnerforherchildren

andhusband,atrainedvet,whohasregularperiodswithoutwork.（布顿杜每天靠摩托车挣10英镑，是孩子和丈

夫的主要经济支柱,丈夫是一名兽医，经常没有工作）”说明Butundu骑摩托车赚的钱是家里的主要经济来源,

but表示转折，结合下文“Herhusband'"refusedpletely99whensheaskedhimtoteachherhowtoride.（当她要求

丈夫教她骑摩托车时，他“彻底拒绝了"可知，尽管Butundu靠骑摩托车赚的钱是家里的主要经济来源，

但是这条路在这个性别角色固定的社会并不容易。由此可知，划线词与fixed“固定的”意思相近。故选C。

【26题详解】

细节理解题。根据倒数第三段的“Lastyear,shebecameafulltimedriver.Workingfromabout10amto6pm

mostdays,Butundusaysshedecidedtogiveupherformercareerbecauseshecouldbemoreflexiblewithher

hours.（去年，她成了一名全职司机。Butundu说，她决定放弃以前的工作，因为她可以在工作时间上更灵活）”

可知，可以灵活选择工作时间让Butundu可以全职工作。故选B。

【27题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后——段“Butunduhopesherstorywillencourageotherwomentostartridingbodabodain

Uganda.Sheisdeterminedtokeeponbreakinggenderboundaries."Thosewhotalk,letthemtalk,“shelaughs.

“Thiswomanisseriousnow.”（Butundu希望她的故事能鼓励乌干达其他女性开始骑bodaboda。她决心继续打

破性别界限。“那些说闲话的人，就让他们说去吧，”她笑着说。“这个女人现在很认真。“）”可推断，

她不在乎别人的消极评价。故选C。

C

【解析】

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了法国历史悠久的小城朗布耶与一家名为Glowee的公司合作，利

用生物发光技术将这座城市变成一个全面的生物发光实验室，其目标是改变城市使用光线的方式。

【28题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章第二段"Recently,Rambouillet,asmallhistoricFrenchtown,hasteamedupwithapany

calledGloweetoturnthecityintoafullscalebioluminescencelaboratory.Thegoalistochangethewayinwhich

citiesuselight.Thepanyusesmarine（海的）bacteriaharvestedfromthecoastofFrance.Itmakessomeofthe

Glowee的公司合作，将这座城市变成一个全面的生物发光实验室。其目标是改变城市使用光线的方式。该

公司使用的是来自法国海岸的海洋细菌。它让小镇上的一些公众在生物发光的冷蓝色中发光。）”可知，关

于Glowee这个公司我们了解到的是，它主要研究采用生物发光作为光源。故选C项。

【29题详解】

主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Thelightprovidedbythebacteriaispartoftheirnaturalmetabolism,so

producingthelightrequiresnoenergyotherthanthatwhichisneededtofeedtheorganisms.Thismakesitmuch

moreenvironmentallyfriendlyandsustainablethanelectriclight,whichconsumesahugeamountofnonrenewable

energy.（细菌提供的光是它们自然新陈代谢的一部分，所以产生光不需要能量，只需要生物体所需的能量。

这使得它比消耗大量不可再生能源的电灯更加环保和可持续。）”可知，第三段主要讲得是海洋细菌作为光

源的优点。故选B项。

【30题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Onthewaytolightinguptheworldwithbioluminescence,youhavetofeedthe

bacteriaandaddwaterastheygrow.Thafsnotsoeasy.ThephenomenonwillbeverytemperaturedependentandI

doubtthatitwillworkinthewinter.Also,bioluminescenceisnotverybrightparedtoelectricallighting,though

theyhaveimprovedthelightintensity（在用生物发光照亮世界的路上，你必须给细菌喂食，并在它们生长的过

程中加水。这可不容易。这种现象将非常依赖于温度，我怀疑它在冬天会起作用。此外，生物发光与电照

明相比不是很亮，尽管它们提高了光强度）”可以推知，生物发光的发展面临着许多挑战。故选D项。

【31题详解】

主旨大意题。分析全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了法国历史悠久的小城朗布耶与一家名为Glowee的公司合

作，利用生物发光技术将这座城市变成一个全面的生物发光实验室，其目标是改变城市使用光线的方式，

所以A选项“大自然点亮的历史小镇”适合用作文章标题。故选A项。

可知，环境变化导致了语言的发展。故选D项。
