Accompanyingadult（1for1-10students,2for11-20students,etc.）:free（成人陪同（1-10

人1人，n—20人2人等）：免费）”可知，8岁的孩子免费，16岁的孩子要付$14,一

个家长作为陪同可以免费，所以这个母亲需要付14美元。故选A。

3.答案：B

解析：推理判断题。根据两个博物馆参观项目的名字“Programme-relatedschooltrips

from5July,2023to30May,2024（2023年7月5日至2024年5月30日期间与项目相关

的学校旅行）"和"End-of-yearschooltripsfrom1Juneto30June,2024（2024年6月1日至

6月30日的年终学校旅行）”可知，这两个博物馆的参观项目都是针对学校的，再结合文

章标题“SCHOOLEDUCATIONALVISITS（学校及教育参观）”可推知，这两个博

物馆参观项目主要是为学生设计的。故选B。

4.答案：A

解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中“"JohnCotter'sLos沅gMMS/Cisapowerfuladditionto

theclassicmemoir（自传）,“saidGretchenCheringtoninTheMillions.Thefirst-timeauthor

典回忆录的有力补充，”格雷琴・切灵顿在《数百万人》中说。首次当作者，他患有一

种奇怪的疾病，导致严重听力损失）”可知，科特是第一次写作，所以LosingMusic这

6.答案：B

解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第一句"Cotterultimatelyfindsthebesthopeforalife

withoutmusic:togetrightwithsilence（科特最终为没有音乐的生活找到了最好的希望:在

沉默中适应了）”可知，科特适应了这种无声的生活，并从中找到希望。cometoterms

with...（接受或适应现状）符合题意。故选B。

7.答案：B

解析：推理判断题。本文引用三个人（GretchenCherington;LisaZeidner;Melissa

HolbrookPierson）对科特的书LosingMusic的评论，介绍了这本书的背景，主要内容以

及吸引人的地方。由此可推知，这是一篇书评。故选B。

8.答案：C

解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中“Theconceptof"youcanbecomewhatyoubelieve5is

morethanjustamotivationalquote.Ifsatruththatstressestheremarkableinfluenceofyour

mindset（心态）onyourjourneythroughlife.（‘你能成为你相信的人'这句话不仅仅是一句

励志名言。这是一个真理，强调你的心态对你的人生旅程的显著影响。）”可知，作者

论点是心态决定一个人能成为什么样的人。故选C项。

9.答案：D

解析：主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Thegrowthmindsetisamindsetthatembracesthe

ideathatabilitiesandintelligencecanbedevelopedthroughdevotion,effort,learning,and

perseverance.Thosewithagrowthmindsetgrowbetteronchallenges,viewingthemas

opportunitiestolearnandimprove.（成长型心态是一种心态，它认为能力和智力可以通

过投入、努力、学习和坚持来发展。那些有成长型心态的人在挑战中成长得更好，把

它们视为学习和提高的机会。）”可知，本段主要讨论了成长型心态的特征。故选D

项。

10.答案：B

解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中“Thegrowthmindsetisamindsetthatembracesthe

ideathatabilitiesandintelligencecanbedevelopedthroughdevotion,effort,learning,and

perseverance.（成长心态是一种心态，它认为能力和智力可以通过投入、努力、学习和

坚持来发展。）"第三段中"Incontrast,thefixedmindsetischaracterizedbythebeliefthat

yourabilities,intelligence,andtalentsarefixedcharacteristicsthatcannotbechanged.（与止匕

相反，固定型心态的特点是相信你的能力、智力和天赋是固定的特征，不能改变。）”

可知，作者利用对比的方式比较了两种不同心态的差异。故选B项。

11.答案：D

解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Dowhatyouloveanddon'tstopuntilyougetwhat

youlove.（做你喜欢的事，在得到你喜欢的东西之前不要停止。）“可知，Debbie

Millman建议，做自己喜欢的事，追求梦想，永不放弃。故选D项。

12.答案：A

解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第二句"OntheyoungEarth-somefourbillionyears

ago—vastquantitiesofwaterwereaddedtotheplanetbyice-containingcomets（amassof

iceanddustthatmovesaroundthesunandlookslikeabrightstarwithatail）thatstruckus,

eventuallymakingourworlda"blueplanet”.（大约40亿年前，在年轻的地球上，含有冰

的彗星（围绕太阳运行的一团冰和尘埃，看起来像一颗有尾巴的明亮恒星）撞击了我

们，给地球增加了大量的水，最终使我们的世界成为一个“蓝色星球”）”可知，地球是

通过从彗星上获取水在地质时代成为“蓝色星球”的。故选A。

13.答案：D

解析：推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句中的"butthatassumesthatwedon'tgetany

newwatersupplies（但这是假设我们没有得到任何新的水供应）”和第四段第一句“New

waterneednotcomefromspace一itmightcomefromtheinsideoftheEarth.（新的水不一

定来自太空一它可能来自地球内部）”可推知，科学家对地球上的水分流失并不担

忧。故选D。

14.答案：C

解析：词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Newwaterneednotcomefromspace一itmight

comefromtheinsideoftheEarth.（新的水不一定来自太空它可能来自地球内部）”和

下文“SomeofitdatesbacktoEarth'sformation;therestispartofslowgeologicalexchange

betweentheplanefslayers.（其中一些可以追溯到地球形成的时候；剩下的部分是地球各

层之间缓慢的地质交换）”可知，此处是指在50公里以下的深度，矿物质中含有的水不

属于水循环。由此可知，划线词reckoned与counted"包括”意思一致。故选C。

15.答案：B

解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段"ThecombinedquantityofwateronEarthhasvariedover

thecourseofourplanefsgeologicalhistory,anditstilldoes.（在地球的地质历史过程中，

地球上的总水量一直在变化，现在仍然如此）”，第二段最后一句"Butsuchevents

becameincreasinglyrareinEarth'smorerecenthistory,andtodayweareinanageduring

whichEarthislosingwater.（但这样的事件在地球近代史上变得越来越罕见，今天我们正

处于地球失去水的时代）”，第三段最后一句"Atthispace,Earthwouldrunoutofwaterin

threebillionyears——butthatassumesthatwedon'tgetanynewwatersupplies.（按照这个速

度，地球上的水将在30亿年内耗尽——但这是假设我们没有得到任何新的水供

应。）“，最后一段第一句"Newwaterneednotcomefromspace一itmightcomefromthe

insideoftheEarth.（新的水不一定来自太空—它可能来自地球内部广和最后一句“When

Earth'splatessinkandmelt,deepmineralscanreleasetheseboundwatermoleculessothat

theycansubsequentlyrisetothesurfaceviavolcaniceruptions,addingtotheplanefsoverall

waterresources.（当地球板块下沉和融化时，深层矿物质可以释放这些结合水分子，这

样它们就可以通过火山爆发上升到地表，增加地球的整体水资源）”可知，文章主要是

讲虽然地球现在正处于失去水的时期，但是由于可以从地球内部得到水资源的补充，

地球上的水并不会耗尽。由此可知，CouldEarthRunOutofWater?（地球上的水会枯竭

吗？）适合作本文最佳标题。故选B。

16.答案：①-⑤AGFDB

解析：①根据上文"Skilledpublicspeakersaren'tjustgoodatputtingwordstogether.（有技

巧的公众演说家不只是擅长遣词造句）”可知，有技巧的公众演说家还有更多的技能，A

项“Theyknowhowtoreadtheroom.（他们知道怎么观察周围环境，了解在场人的情绪和

态度）”承接上文，介绍了他们的另一项技能：readtheroom（察言观色），上下文语意连

贯。故选A项。

②上文“Youdon'thavetowaituntiltheconversationisovertofindouthowitwent.（你不必

等到谈话结束就可以知道进展如何）”提出了解情况不一定要等到谈话结束，G项“You

cancheckinperiodicallytomakesureyouhaven'tlostyouraudience.（你可以定期检查以确

保你没有失去你的听众）”承接上文，说明在谈话过程中就可以查看听众的情况，下文

“Forexample,aftercoveringacomplextopic,pauseandaskyourlistenersififsokayto

continue.（例如，在谈到一个复杂的话题后，停下来问听众是否可以继续）”对此进行了

举例说明，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。

③上文“Ifyourlistenersaredisengaged,offerthemabreak-orendthesessionearly.（如果你

的听众心不在焉，让他们休息一下，或者提前结束演讲）”提出可以提前结束演讲，F项

“There'snopointinstickingitoutifyouraudiencehavelosttheirfocus.（如果你的听众已经

失去了注意力，那么坚持下去就没有意义了）”进一步说明原因，句中“losttheirfocus”与

上文“disengaged”相照应。故选F项。

④上文“Whatarepeopledoingwhileyou'respeaking?Aretheysighing,rollingtheireyesor

smiling?（你说话的时候别人在干什么？他们是在叹息、翻白眼还是在微笑？）”提出演

讲时观察观众的反应，D项“Thesecanindicatehowthey5rereceivinginfbrmation.（这些可

以表明它们是如何接收信息的）”说明观察这些反应的意义，句中指示代词“These”指代

上文中“Whatarepeopledoing"和"sighing,rollingtheireyesorsmiling^^。故选D项。

⑤设空句是段首小标题，根据下文“Noskillcanbegoteasily.Skillsofreadingtheroom

alsorequiresometrainingtoacquire.Youcanworkwithafriendorcoachtobuildyourself-

awareness.Thisskillcanmakeyouamoreconfidentandeffectivespeaker.（没有一项技能可

以轻易获得。察言观色的技巧也需要一些训练来获得。你可以和朋友或教练一起建立

你的自我意识。这个技巧可以让你成为一个更自信、更有效的演讲者）”可知，本段主

要讲学习察言观色需要练习，所以B项“Learningtoreadtheroomtakespractice］学会察

言观色需要练习）”是最佳标题。故选B项。

17.答案：B

解析：考查动词词义辨析。句意：一些孩子在楼下的公寓里玩打火机，引起了火灾，

整个房子都着火了。A.found发现；B.started开始，启动；C.fought斗争；D.stopped

停止。由下文“thewholehousewasonfire”可知，房子着火了，这说明在楼下公寓里玩

打火机的孩子们点火了，startafire意为“点火，生火"，故选B。

18.答案：D
