信息。故选Bo

2.答案：D

theswap.（家具和其他大件物品不接受交换。）可知，家具和其他大件物品在交换中是

不可接受的。故选D。

3.答案：A

解析：目的意图题。由最后一段Afteralmosttwoyearswithoutswaps,GrowNYChasset

agoalofhostingoneswapineachofthecity's59communitydistrictseachyear,providing

opportunitiestomakeNYCtrulylivable-aplacewhereeverypersoncanenjoyahealthierlife.

（在近两年没有交换之后，GrowNYC设定了一个目标，即每年在纽约市的59个社区

中每个社区举办一次交换，为纽约市真正的宜居提供机会一个每个人都能享受更健康

生活的地方。）可知，活动的目的是让纽约成为更适合居住的地方。故选A。

4.答案：B

解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中“Everything-fromthekindofsurfaceitsitson,tothe

colorofitssittingareas,totheplacementofthesurroundingfence一isspecificallydesigned

forkidswithautism（自闭症）.（一切东西从它提供的表面座位种类，到它的座位区域的颜

色，到周围围栏的位置都是专门为自闭症儿童设计的）”和最后一段中“Andthe

groundundertheplayareasismadeofsoft,butsolidmaterialstosupportstudentsusing

wheelchairsorcrutches.（游乐区下面的地面是由柔软但坚固的材料制成的，以支持使用

轮椅或拐杖的学生）"和"Theyarealsomadewithsmoothmaterialthatcanbefeltand

moved.Theacademy'sRapaportsaidifachildstartstofeeluneasy,theycansitdownand

feelthebench,whichcanhelpthemrelax.（它们也是用光滑的材料制成的，可以触摸和移

动。该学院的Rapaport说，如果孩子开始感到不安，他们可以坐下来摸摸长凳，这可

以帮助他们放松）”可知，巴尔的摩的游乐场要用特殊材料来设计是为了更好地服务自

闭症儿童。故选B。

5.答案：D

解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的“Thehuge$500,000projectwasfundedwithsupport

fromthestateofMarylandandthenonprofitOrokawaFoundation.（这个耗资50万美元的

庞大项目得到了马里兰州和非营利组织小川基金会的支持）”可知，这个操场项目耗资

巨大。故选D。

6.答案：C

解析：主旨大意题。根据最后一段"Partsoftheplaygroundthatseemsmallarevery

importantforchildrenwithautismandotherdisabilities.Thesurroundingfenceextendsinto

awoodedareatomakeitseemmoreopen.Andthegroundundertheplayareasismadeof

soft,butsolidmaterialstosupportstudentsusingwheelchairsorcrutches.Thebenchesonthe

academy*sRapaportsaidifachildstartstofeeluneasy,theycansitdownandfeelthebench,

whichcanhelpthemrelax.（操场上看起来很小的部分对患有自闭症和其他残疾的孩子来

说非常重要。周围的栅栏延伸到一个树木繁茂的区域，使它看起来更开放。游乐区下

面的地面是由柔软但坚固的材料制成的，以支持使用轮椅或拐杖的学生。Hack说，操

场外面的长椅从远处看很简单，但却是我们最具包容性的感官元素之一）它们有许多

不同的颜色，给人带来平静和好奇的感觉。它们也是用光滑的材料制成的，可以触摸

和移动。该学院的拉帕波特说，如果孩子开始感到不安，他们可以坐下来摸摸长凳，

这可以帮助他们放松）”可知，最后一段主要讲的是游乐场的设计理念以及包含为自闭

症患者带来舒适感觉的因素，即设计游乐场的潜在逻辑和合理因素。故选C。

7.答案：C

解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中"Hacksaidheandothersspentweeksgettingtoknow

thestudentsandunderstandingtheirneedsbeforeanybuildingwasstarted.Thedesign

processinvolvedphysicaltherapists,occupationaltherapists,andotherspecialists.（Hack说,

他和其他人花了几个星期的时间来了解学生，了解他们的需求，然后才开始建造任何

建筑。设计过程涉及物理治疗师、职业治疗师和其他专家）”以及最后一段中"Andthe

groundundertheplayareasismadeofsoft,butsolidmaterialstosupportstudentsusing

wheelchairsorcrutches.（游乐区下面的地面是由柔软但坚固的材料制成的，以支持使用

轮椅或拐杖的学生）”和"Theyhavemanydifferentcolorsthatbringaboutfeelingsofcalm

andcuriosity.Theyarealsomadewithsmoothmaterialthatcanbefeltandmoved.（它彳门有

许多不同的颜色，给人带来平静和好奇的感觉。它们也是用光滑的材料制成的，可以

触摸和移动）”可知，巴尔的摩的操场在建造之前充分了解学生的需求，按照他们的需

求而建，故它是有着实用功能的。故选C。

8.答案：A

解析：细节理解题。根据第二段"Cardsmountedonthecontainer'swallsandtapeonits

floorprovidedthesnakeswithvisualandtouchablesignalstofindtheirgoal:holesinthe

container'sbottomthatofferadark,comfortablespottohide.（容器墙壁上的卡片和地板上

的胶带为蛇提供了视觉和可触摸的信号，以找到它们的目标:容器底部的洞，提供了一

个黑暗、舒适的藏身之处）”可知，给蛇找到出口提供的指导性信息，这些东西可以指

引蛇找到出口。故选A项。

9.答案：B

解析：推理判断题。根据第三段"'Speedtofindthatgoalisoneofthemeasureswhich

showsthey'relearning,'Holtzmansays.'Onaverage,theytakeover700secondstofindthe

correctholeonthefirstdayoftraining,andthengodowntoabout400secondsbythefourth

dayoftraining.Someareactuallyveryfastandfinditinlessthan30seconds.'（'找至U目标的

速度是显示它们正在学习的指标之一，‘霍尔茨曼说。‘在训练的第一天，它们平均需要

700多秒才能找到正确的洞，然后在训练的第四天减少到400秒左右。有些甚至非常

快，不到30秒就找到了）"可知，第三段数据主要表明蛇是有学习能力的。故选B

项。

10.答案：A

解析：细节理解题。根据第四段"Earlyattemptstostudysnakeintelligencewere

problematicbecausethestudiesusedmazesastestingarenas（场地）-asthoughsnakesmight

beexpectedtorunthroughmazesinthesamewaymicerunthroughmazes（早期研究蛇智力

的尝试是有问题的，因为研究用迷宫作为测试场所一好像蛇可能会像老鼠一样穿过迷

宫一样）”可知，早期研究蛇的智力的尝试是选择的测验场地不对。故选A项。

11.答案：A

解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段"'Actually,oneoftheamazingfindingsfromour

studiesisthatsnakesdousevisioninlocatingplaces,'saysHoltzman.'Theydon'tjustrelyon

thechemicalcluespickedupbystickingtheirtonguesout,asmanysnakebiologistsassume."

（'实际上，我们研究的一个惊人发现是，蛇确实利用视觉来定位位置，‘霍尔茨曼说。’

它们不像许多蛇生物学家认为的那样，仅仅依靠伸出舌头获取的化学线索'）"可知，令

霍尔茨曼感到惊讶的是蛇是靠视觉确定位置的。故选A项。

12.答案:C

解析：细节理解题。根据第一段可知，研究表明大规模燃放烟花对鸟类的影响范围可达

10公里（6英里）远,故这项研究告诉读者燃放烟花对鸟类的影响程度。

13.答案：A

解析：细节理解题。根据第三段可知，野鹅受到烟花的影响非常大，以至于至少在接下

来的n天里，它们平均花费的时间比正常时间多了10%在寻找食物。显然，在逃离烟

花之后，它们需要这段时间来补充失去的精力，以恢复到以前的状态。

14.答案：B

解析：猜测词义题。在许多大型鸟类过冬的草地等开阔地区，应减少对鸟类的干扰。在

森林和半开放栖息地附近，烟花对鸟类的影响较小（不明显）。止匕外，较小的鸟类，如山雀

和雀鸟,生活在那里,它们不太可能因受到干扰而飞走。

15.答案：A

解析：标题概括题。全文围绕烟花对鸟类的影响展开，A选项中intheair暗指鸟类，

panic指烟花带来的影响，故A为最佳答案。

16.答案：BEAGD

解析：①根据前文"Itcanbestressfultodeliveraspeechinfrontofpeople.Whatdoyousay?

Howdoyoucatchpeople'sattention?Whatdoyoudoifyoumessup?（在众人面前发表演讲

是很有压力的。说什么呢?如何吸引人们的注意力？如果搞砸了怎么办?）"可知，此处是

指前文中提到的这些问题让人苦恼，所以选项B"Theseproblemswilldriveyoumad.（这

些问题会让你发疯的。）"切合文意,Theseproblems指代上文列举的问题。故选B。

②根据小标题"Pointeverythingbacktothecentralidea（把所有的东西都指向中心思想）"

和前文"Beforeyoubeginyourspeech,figureoutyourcoremessaged在你开始演讲之前，

弄清楚你的核心信息。）”可知，在开始演讲之前，弄清楚演讲的核心信息，演讲中的

所有内容都要指向中心思想;E选项"Thenmakesurealltheideasinyourspeechpointback

toit.（然后确保你演讲中所有的观点都指向它。）"承接上文，指出让演讲中的所有观点

都指向演讲的核心，符合语境，选项中的"it"指代前文中提到的"coremessage"o故选

Eo

③设空处为小标题;根据后文"Tomakeyourpresentationmemorable,youcantryusing

"stickystories"inyourspeeches一honest,vividanecdotes（逸闻）withdetailsthatengagethe

sensesofsight,sound,smell,tasteandtouch.Peoplerememberstoriesandimages.（为了让

你的演讲令人难忘，你可以尝试在你的演讲中使用“粘性叙事”诚实、生动的轶事和

细节，吸引视觉、听觉、嗅觉、味觉和触觉。人们会记住故事和图像。）”可知，本段

主要阐述要在演讲中使用生动的故事和图像叙述;所以选项A"Usevividimageryand

storytelling.（使用生动的故事和图像叙述。）"能够概括本段主旨，适合作为小标题。故

选Ao

④根据前文"Askafriendorafamilymembertolistentoyouasyoupractice.Youcanalso

takeavoicememowithyourphoneandplayitbacktoyourself.（让朋友或家人在你练习的

时候听你说。你也可以用手机录一份语音备忘录，然后回放给自己听。）”可知，此处

是指照前文这样做可以得到好的反馈，以此完善自己的演讲技巧，所以选项G"By
