K答案X24.C25.D26.B27.A

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者原计划在退休后享受休闲时光，但却

因为背部脊椎的病情计划被打乱。作者长期背痛，却仍然工作，导致病情恶化，尽管物理治

疗有所帮助，但作者还是进行了手术。手术后作者的日子很艰难，听了理疗师建议和自己的

身体做朋友后，作者改变了对自己身体的态度，开始接受自己的身体，对生活充满感激。

【24题详析】

细节理解题。根据第二段中“Ihavelonghadbackpain.However,Ipushedthroughthepaintodo

mywork,whichworsenedmycondition.（我背痛很久了。然而，我顶着疼痛去做我的工作，这

使我的病情恶化了）”可知，尽管背部疼痛，作者仍然工作，因此病情恶化了。故选C项。

【25题详析】

细节理解题。根据第三段中“Aftercarefulconsiderationandasecondopinionfromanother

professional,Iagreedtosurgeryyetinthenearterm.（经过仔细的考虑和再征求另一位专业人

士的意见后，我同意在短期内做手术）”可知，作者向另一位医生征求了手术建议。故选D项。

【26题详析】

细节理解题。根据第四段中“WhenImetmyphysicaltherapistforthefirsttime,Iwasamess.He

listenedtomeoutlinemyhistorywithtearsandthencalmlysaid,“Youhavetomakefriendswith

yourbody."Ihaverepeatedthatlinetomyselfdailyandworkedtoembracemybody.（当我第一

次见到我的理疗师时，我一团糟。他听我流着泪讲述我的经历，然后平静地说：“你必须和

你的身体做朋友。”我每天都对自己重复这句话，努力接受自己的身体）”可知，理疗师建议

作者学会和身体做朋友，这改变了她对自己身体的态度。故选B项。

【27题详析】

主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是全文最后一句"ButImayhavetomakefriendswithadifferent

body,onethatismineregardlessoftheshape.（但我可能不得不和一个不同的身体交朋友，一■个

不管形态如何都属于我的身体）”可知，文章围绕作者治疗背部脊椎疾病的经历展开，作者原

计划在退休后享受休闲时光，但却因为背部脊椎的病情计划被打乱。作者长期背痛，却仍然

工作，导致病情恶化，尽管物理治疗有所帮助，但作者还是进行了手术。手术后作者的日子

很艰难，听了理疗师建议和自己的身体做朋友后，作者改变了对自己身体的态度，开始接受

自己的身体，对生活充满感激。因此，A项“学着接受自己的身体”点明了这段经历最终的结

局和主题，适合作为文章标题。故选A项。

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了什么是“一万小时”定律以及其不实际性。同

时研究表明，一种被称为“抽样周期”的方法通常更有效地取得成功。

【28题详析】

细节理解题。根据第二段"Onpaper,itsoundslikeagoodpathtosuccess,butwhenwelookat

thelivesofeliteathletes,musiciansandscholars,wefindadifferentstory.Inreality,many

individualswhohaverisentothetopoftheirrespectivefieldstookamorediverseandwinding

youngageisfundamentallywrong.（从表面上看，这听起来像是一条通往成功的好途径，但当

我们观察精英运动员、音乐家和学者的生活时，我们会发现一个不同的故事。实际上，许多

在各自领域登上顶峰的人走的是一条更加多样化和曲折的道路。他们经常探索各种各样的活

动，获得广泛的技能，只有在生命的后期才会专业化。换句话说，一个人必须从小就了解自

己的专业的想法从根本上是错误的）”可知，作者认为“一万小时规则”是不实际的。故选C。

【29题详析】

细节理解题。根据第一段"Itproposesthatachievingmasteryinanyfieldrequiresroughly10,000

hoursofpractice,emphasizingtheimportanceofearlyprofessionalizationandintensivepractice

forbecominganeliteinaparticularfield.（它提出，要在任何领域达到精通，都需要大约1万个

小时的练习，强调早期专业化和密集练习对于成为某一领域的精英的重要性）”以及第二段

“Thisapproach,knownas"deliberatepractice”,encouragessettinggoalsfromayoungage,

investingtimeandspecializinginaspecificfield.（这种方法被称为"刻意练习”,鼓励人们从小就

设定目标，投入时间，专攻某一特定领域）”可知，“刻意练习”没有强调多种技能的重要性。

故选B。

【30题详析】

推理判断题。根据最后——段“ConsiderthejourneyofRogerFederer,oneofthegreatesttennis

playersofalltime.Attheageof6,hedabbledinrugby,skiingandwrestling,onlyreturningto

tennislater.Thetrialperiodbenefitedhimnotjustbecausehefoundhistruepassionbutalso

想有史以来最伟大的网球运动员之一罗杰・费德勒的经历吧。6岁时，他开始涉足橄榄球、滑

雪和摔跤，后来才重新回到网球上。这段试用期让他受益，不仅因为他找到了自己真正的激

情，还因为他在各种运动中的经历丰富了他的网球比赛，使他拥有了一套独特的技能）”可推

知，最后一段提到了罗杰・费德勒是为了证明“抽样周期”的优势。故选B。

【31题详析】

细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Instead,theyengageinavarietyofsportsduringtheirformative

years,whichallowsthemtoacquirebroadphysicalskillsanddiscovertheirinterestsand

talent”相反，他们在成长过程中参加各种各样的运动，这使他们获得广泛的身体技能，发

现他们的兴趣和才能）”可知，作者认为孩子们应该尝试各种各样的活动。故选A。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一家名为Pivotal的硅谷公司开发的电动

垂直起降飞行器Helix,对其设计、特点、市场前景等方面进行了介绍。

【32题详析】

推理判断题。根据文章第一段isasingle-seatvehicle,so"flyingmotorbike^^mightbe

moreaccurate.（Helix是一辆单座汽车，所以“会飞的摩托车”可能更准确。）”可知，Helix只

适合一人驾驶。故选D。

【33题详析】

词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“thefirmthinksithassomethingmarketable.（公司认为它有了

市场）”可推测，在改进之后，公司认为它有了市场。划线单词ameliorating指的是“提高、改

进”之意。选项A“Testing（测试广；选项B“Driving（驾驶广；选项CImproving（改善广；选项

Dt4Repairing（修理）”。故选C。

【34题详析】

主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“Pilot'slicenseornot,buyerswillstillneedsometrainingtoflya

Helix.Pivotalinsistsonthis.Forthesamereason,thecraffssoftwarewillstopthepilotdoing

anythingthatdoesnotfititssafetyrules.Andif,despitethis,somethingdoesgowrong,itisfitted

withaparachute（降落伞）.（无论是否有飞行员执照，买家仍然需要一些训练来驾驶螺旋。

Pivotal坚持这一点。出于同样的原因，飞行器的软件会阻止飞行员做任何不符合安全规则

的事情。尽管如此，如果出了什么问题，它还配备了降落伞。厂可知，文章第四段主要讲述

的是Helix的安全措施。故选C。

【35题详析】

推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“TheHelix'stopspeedisarespectable100kph,butitsrangeis

only30km.Andrefuelingitisabitofapain.Fillingupfromthemainstakesfourandahalf

hours,thoughaspecialhigh-powersystemsimilartothoseemployedforelectriccarscanbring

thatdownto75minutes.WhileHelixstilldoesn'tcomparetotheflyingcarfromtheJetsons,it

couldbeastepforward.（Helix的最高时速可达100公里，但续航里程只有30公里。加油是

一件很痛苦的事。从主电源加满电需要四个半小时，不过一种类似于电动汽车的特殊大功率

系统可以把这个时间缩短到75分钟。虽然Helix仍然无法与《杰森一家》中的飞行汽车相

比，但它可能是向前迈出的一步。户以及全文内容可知，作者在文章中客观地介绍了Helix

的设计、特点、市场前景等方面，没有表达出明显的怀疑、冷漠或谨慎的态度。相反，作者

通过提供技术细节和背景信息，帮助读者更好地理解和评估这款新型飞行器。因此，可以认

为作者对于Helix的态度是客观的。故选B。
