【答案】28.C29.C30.D31.A

【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章谈论了万圣节后剩下的南瓜丢弃到树林里所产生的不良影响，建议人们不

要把南瓜丢弃到树林里。

28.词句猜测题。划线词句前文“Aworryingriseinsocialmediaposts,suggestingthatpeopleleavetheir

HalloweenpumpkinsinthewoodstofeedwildlifeafterOctober31,hasmadewildlifeexpertsconcerned.（社交媒

体上有越来越多的帖子建议人们在10月31日之后把万圣节南瓜丢到树林里喂野生动物，这让野生动物专

家感到担忧。）“说明有很多万圣节南瓜丢弃在了树林里，从而推知划线词句“Thousandsofpumpkinsare

discardedinwoodsacrossBritain.（成千上万的南瓜被discarded在英国各地的树林里。）”中划线词汇意思应为

“丢弃”。故选C项。

29.细节理解题。根据第三段中"OneofthemainissuesisthattheleftoveroftheHalloweenpumpkinsareoften

eatenbyalreadystrugglinghedgehogs（刺猬）.InearlyNovember,hedgehogsarelookingtogainasmuchweightas

possibletosurvivetheirwinterhibernation.（其中一个主要问题是，万圣节南瓜的剩余部分经常被已经在挣扎

的刺猬吃掉。在11月初，刺猬会尽可能地增重以度过冬眠期。）”可知，刺猬在11月初吃那么多南瓜是为冬

天做准备。故选C项。

30.主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Moreover,leftoverHalloweenpumpkinscancontaincandlesandplastic

decorationswhichcanalsobefataltowildlifeifmistakenlyeaten.Therottingleftovercanalsoattractlesspopular

wildlife,suchasrats,toanarea.AccordingtoTheWoodlandTrust,theadditionalnutrientsinthepumpkinscan

negativelyaffectthesoilbalanceaswell.（此外，万圣节剩下的南瓜可能含有蜡烛和塑料装饰品，如果被误食，

对野生动物也是致命的。腐烂的剩菜还会吸引不太受欢迎的野生动物，如老鼠，来到一个区域。林地信托

基金会表示，南瓜中额外的营养物质也会对土壤平衡产生负面影响。）”可知，本段主要对剩余南瓜的不良影

响作进一步解释。故选D项。

31.推理判断题。根据第一段中“Whilewell-meaningpumpkincarversmightthinktheyaredoingthelocal

animalsgroupsakindness,leavingyourleftoverjack-o5-lanterninthewoodlandisactuallydoingmoreharmthan

good.（虽然好心的南瓜雕刻者可能认为他们是在为当地的动物群体做一件好事，但把你剩下的南瓜灯丢弃到

森林里实际上是弊大于利o）”和最后——段"Sowhatshouldyoudowithyourbeautifullycarvedpumpkincreation

farmwillacceptitasadonation.Youcouldeventrysomescientificexperimentstoproducemoreenergyfromthe

可以的话，可以自己在家里堆肥，或者询问当地农场是否接受捐赠。你甚至可以尝试一些科学实验，从浪

费的垃圾中产生更多的能量）”推知，文章建议人们不要把万圣节后剩下的南瓜丢弃到树林里。故选A项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍山雀也可能成为时尚的追求者。SonjaWild和LucyAplin在《行为生态

学与社会生物学》上发表的一项研究表明，如果有机会，它们会用本季必备的颜色装饰巢穴。

32.细节理解题。根据第一段"Astudy,publishedinBehavioralEcologyandSociobiologybySonjaWildandLucy

Aplin,showsthat,giventhechance,theydecoratetheirnestswiththisseason'smust-havecolor.（SonjaWild和

LucyAplin在《行为生态学与社会生物学》上发表的一项研究表明，如果有机会，它们会用本季必备的颜色

装饰巢穴）”以及第二段“Thissuggestedthatthecolorchosenbyoneoftheearlybirdswasspottedandcopiedby

others.（这表明，之前的鸟选择的颜色被其他鸟类发现并复制了）”可知，山雀在筑巢时会模仿其他鸟，故选

C项。

33.推理判断题。根据第三段“This,too,suggestedfashion-following-anditlikewiseledDrWildandDrAplinto

inferthatbirdswerestudyingthenestsofothersandcopyingthem.TheythereforesetouttorerunWilliams's

experiment（这也表明了时尚的追求。同样地，这也让Wild和Aplin博士推断出鸟类正在研究其他鸟类的巢

穴并复制。因此，他们着手重新进行威廉姆斯的实验）”推知，DrWild和DrAplin重新进行试验的目的是要

证明山鸟的模仿行为，故选C项。

34.细节理解题。根据最后一段"DrWildandDrAplinsuspectthetrendsettersareolderbirds,andyoungerones

simplyfollow（Wild和Aplin认为有可能引领潮流的是年纪较大的鸟类，而年纪较小的则紧随其后）”可知，Dr

WildandDrAplin猜想年纪较大的山雀是时尚潮流的引领者，故选D项。

35.主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Tits（山雀）canbefashion-victims,too,apparently^显然，山雀也可能成为

时尚的追求者）''以及第二段“Thissuggestedthatthecolorchosenbyoneoftheearlybirdswasspottedandcopied

byothers.（这表明，其中一只早期鸟类选择的颜色被其他鸟类发现并复制了）”以及第三段“Theythereforeset

outtorerunWilliams'sexperiment,butthistimetocollectsomeactualnumbers.（因此,他们开始重新进行威廉姆

斯的实验，但这次是为了收集一些实际数字）”还有最后一段“DrWildandDrAplinsuspectthetrendsettersare

olderbirds,andyoungeronessimplyfollow（Wild和Aplin认为有可能引领潮流的是年纪较大的鸟类，而年纪

较小的则紧随其后）”可知，第一段提出了山雀可能事实上追求者这一话题，后续段落对这一现象进行了原因

分析和解释，所以最佳标题应为：山雀是时尚的追求者，故选A项。
