（答案U28.B29.B30.A31.C

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家基于北极熊熊爪的构造设计新型雪地轮胎。

[28题详析】词义猜测题。根据第二段“Theobviousplacetolookwaspolarbears一specifically

thetinybumps（凸块）onthesurfaceoftheirpawpads-tofindoutwhateffecttheyhaveonthe

animals9abilitytomovequicklyacrossicyandsnowyarea.^^（最明显的研究对象是北极熊

特别是它们脚掌表面的小凸起——来发现它们对动物在冰雪地区快速移动的能力有什么影

响。）可知，它们指的是北极熊脚掌表面的小凸起对于动物在冰雪地区快速移动的能力的影

响，推断处they指代的是B项“小凸起”。故选B项。

【29题详析】主旨大意题。根据第四段“Theyfbundthatthetinystructuresonthepolarbear

pawpadsweretaller,whichgavethembetterfrictiononthesnow,eventhoughpolarbearshave

smallerpadscomparedtootherbears."（他们发现北极熊脚垫上的微小结构更高，这使得它们

在雪地上有更好的摩擦力，尽管北极熊的脚垫比其他熊小。）可知，第四段主要谈到的是研

究的发现。故选B项。

themthatcouldhavealargerimpact,saidDhinojwala."（"如果你看看雪地轮胎，你会发现它

们确实有一些更深的胎面，但这项研究也可以展示各种设计方法，这些方法可以产生更大的

影响。''）可知，我们可以从最后一段Dhinojwala的话中推断出雪地轮胎可能会设计不同的

胎面。故选A项。

[31题详析】主旨大意题。根据第一段"Agroupofresearchershascomeupwithawaytomake

iteasiertodriveinthesnow:bydesigningtyres（轮月台）basedonpolarbearpaws.”（——组研究人员

项。

K答案X32.D33.B34.A35.A

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了现代社会中噪音干扰的问题以及人们使用降噪技术

的现象。文章指出，虽然降噪技术在市场上大受欢迎，但过度使用可能带来身体和社会方面

的负面影响。

【32题详析】推理判断题。根据第一段中“Everywhereyougo,itseemslikepeopleareusing

somethingtoreducethenoiseintheirlives.Theywearover-earheadphonesonpublic

transportation,duringlongflights,orinopen-planoffices,orusecoloredearplugs（耳塞）at

concerts.（无论你走到哪里，人们似乎都在用某种东西来减少生活中的噪音。他们在公共交通

工具上、长途飞行中或在开放式办公室里戴着戴耳式耳机，或者在音乐会上使用彩色耳塞）”

和第二段中"Noise-cancellingtechnologywasfirstdevelopedinthe1950storeducecockpit

noiseforpilots.Theheadphonestodayusetechnologyknownasactivenoisecontrol.（降噪技术最

早是在20世纪50年代发展起来的，目的是为飞行员减少驾驶舱的噪音。今天的耳机使用了

一种被称为主动噪声控制的技术）”可推知，降噪耳机是用于减少生活中的噪音，在嘈杂的环

境中创造一种安静的感觉。故选D项。

【33题详析】细节理解题。根据第三段中"Moderate（适中的）backgroundnoise,around70dB,

hasbeenfoundtoadvanceperformanceoncreativetasks,forexample.（例如,研究发现，适度的

背景噪音（约70分贝）可以提高创造性任务的表现）”可知，适度的背景噪声可以提高创造性任

务的表现，故"Creativetaskperformancecanbeimprovedbythemoderatebackgroundnoise."是

正确表述。故选B项。

【34题详析】词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Somepeoplecanworkreallyeffectivelyin

buzzycafesandevenairports,andyettheycan'tfocusinthesamewayinanoffice.（有些人可以

在buzzy的咖啡馆甚至机场高效地工作,但他们却无法在办公室里保持同样的专注）”中

“cafes（咖啡馆）”和常识可推知，咖啡馆是喧闹的，故buzzy与lively同义，意为“热闹的”。

故选A项。

[35题详析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Anover-dependenceonnoise-cancelling

technologyisnotnecessarilythesolution,saysMcAlpine.（过度依赖降噪技术未必是解决问题

的办法，麦卡尔平说）”可推知，McAlpine对过度依赖降噪技术持否定态度。故选A项。
