【答案】4.A5.C6.D7.B

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了猫通过叫声、嗅觉和带回礼物来表达需求、评估环境和展示

爱意。

【4题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段“Animalscanexpresstheirneedsusingalotofways.Forinstance,almostallanimals

havedistinctvocals(声音)thattheyrelyontoeitheraskforhelp,scareawayanydangerousanimalsorlookfor

shelter.(动物可以用很多方式来表达他们的需求。例如，几乎所有的动物都有独特的声音，它们依靠这些

声音来寻求帮助，吓跑危险的动物或寻找庇护。)”和“Meowingstartsassoonasababycatisbroughttolife

andusesittogetthemother’sattentionandbefed.(猫宝宝一出生就开始喵喵叫，喵喵叫是为了引起妈妈的注

意和被喂食。)”可知，猫叫声是一种生存技能。故选A。

细节理解题。根据第二段“Catshavemanyheightenedsenses,buttheirsenseofsmellisquiteimpressive.They

usetheirnosestoassesstheirenvironmentandlookoutforanysignsofdanger.(猫有许多敏锐的感官，但它们

的嗅觉令人印象深刻。它们用鼻子来评估周围的环境，寻找任何危险的迹象。)”可知，宠物猫通过检查气

味来评估不同情况。故选C。

【6题详解】

象深刻的抓取习惯而闻名)”和后句“Manycatswillfindrandomobjectsoutsideandbringthemtotheir

owners.(许多猫会在外面随意找到一些东西，并把它们带给主人。)”可知，狗以取回东西而闻名，但猫可

以从外边找到东西带回来，因此在这一行为上更上一层楼。短语take...upanotch是用来形容猫在带回东

西这一行为上做得更好或更出色。故选D。

第8页/共24页

【7题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第一段“Animalscanexpresstheirneedsusingalotofways.(动物可以用很多方式来表达

他们的需求。)”及全文可知，文章都在介绍和解释猫的各种行为方式，包括叫声、嗅觉和带回礼物的习

惯，以及这些行为背后的原因和意义。所以“UnderstandingYourCat’sBehavior(了解你的猫的行为)”作为

文章标题最为合适。故选B。

【答案】8.C9.D10.D11.A

【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述政府赞助了五辆名为圣卢卡斯的医疗列车为俄罗斯中部和东部偏远

地区每年提供为期10个月的巡回医疗服务，为乡村居民提供基本医疗检查和治疗，改善当地医疗条件。

【8题详解】

remotetownsincentralandeasternRussia.Eachstoplastsanaverageoftwodays,andduringthattimethedoctors

andnursesonboardproviderural(乡村)populationswithbasicmedicalcare,X-rayscansandprescriptions.(圣卢卡

斯号是五列政府资助的医疗列车之一，前往俄罗斯中部和东部的偏远城镇。每一站平均停留两天，在此期

间，船上的医生和护士为农村人口提供基本医疗服务、X光扫描和处方。)”可知，圣卢卡斯号与其他火车

的不同之处在于它是政府资助的医疗火车，充当医院。故选C。

【9题详解】

推理判断题，第三段提到“Russia’spublichealthcareservicehasbeeninseriousneedofmodernization.The

governmenthasstruggledtocomeupwithmeasurestoaddresstheproblem,particularlyinthepoorer,ruralareas

eastoftheVolgaRiver,includingarrangingdoctor'sappointmentsbyvideochatandexpandingfinancialaid

卫生保健服务迫切需要现代化。政府一直在努力提出解决这一问题的措施，特别是在伏尔加河以东较贫穷

的农村地区，包括通过视频聊天安排医生预约，扩大财政援助计划，激励医生到克拉斯诺亚尔斯克等偏远

地区行医。)”可以推断，Krasnoyarsk需要医疗援助，故选D。

【10题详解】

细节理解题，根据第四段“For10monthseveryyear,thetrainstopsatabouteightstationsovertwoweeks,before

returningtotheregionalcapitaltorefuelandrestock(补给).”(每年有10个月，火车在两周内停靠大约八个车站，

然后返回地区首府进行补给和重新装货。)”可知，圣卢卡斯号一份补给可以工作大约两周，故选D。

【11题详解】

推断判断题。根据最后一段的““Iwasveryimpressedbythedoctorsandtheirassistantsworkingandlivingin

suchlittlespacebutstillstayingfocusedandveryconcerned,”saysDucke.“Theywerethebestchanceformany

ruralpeopletogetthetreatmenttheywant.”(“医生和他们的助手在这么小的空间里工作和生活，但仍然保持

专注和非常关注，这给我留下了深刻的印象，”Ducke说。这是许多农村人获得他们想要的治疗的最好机

会。”)”可知，Ducke对SaintLukas的服务持赞赏的态度，故选A。

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章首先通过作者与教授关于小说结局的讨论引发了对结局的思考，接着阐

述了不同类型的文学作品结局的特点，最后提出了写作好的结局的重要性并介绍了《Writer’sDigest》杂志

如何帮助作家写出更好的结尾。

【12题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段““Ididn’tliketheending,”Isaidtomyfavoritecollegeprofessor.Itwasmyjunior

yearofundergraduate,andIwasdoinganindependentstudyonVictorianliterature.IhadjustfinishedreadingThe

MillontheFlossbyGeorgeEliot,andIwasheartbrokenwiththeending.Prof.Gracie,withallhispatience,asked

metothinkaboutitbeyondwhetherIlikeditornot.(“我不喜欢这个结局，”我对我最喜欢的大学教授说。

那是我大三的时候，我正在做一项关于维多利亚文学的独立研究。我刚刚读完乔治·艾略特的《弗洛斯河上

的磨坊》，读到结尾我很伤心。格雷西教授耐心地让我考虑一下，不要只看我喜不喜欢)”可知，作者去找

格雷西教授是为了讨论小说。故选A项。

【13题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段“Thiswasanahamomentforme,andIneverthoughtaboutendingsthesameway

again.Fromthenon,ifIwantedtoreadanendingguaranteedtobehappy,I’dpickupaloveromance.IfIwanted

anendingIcouldn’tguess,I’dpickupamystery(悬疑小说).OnewhereIkindofknewwhatwasgoingto

想过同样的结局。从那时起，如果我想读一个保证幸福的结局，我就会选一部爱情小说。如果我想要一个

我猜不到的结局，我会选一本神秘小说。一种是我知道会发生什么，历史小说。选择读什么变得更容易

了)”可知，见过格雷西教授后，作者意识到了每种类型的文学都有其独特的结局。故选C项。

【14题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段“Butwritingtheend—that’shard.It’shardforwritersbecauseendingscarrysomuch

weightwithreaders.Youhavetobalancecreatinganendingthat’sunpredictable,butdoesn’tseemtocomefrom

第12页/共24页

nowhere,onethatfitswhat’srightforthecharacters.(但是写出结局——那很难。对作家来说很难，因为结局

对读者来说意义重大。你必须平衡创造一个不可预测的结局，但这个结局又不能显得凭空而来，要适合角

色的设定)”可知，人们对一个好结局的期望是结局又不能显得凭空而来，要适合角色的设定，也就是符合

故事的发展。故选B项。

【15题详解】

推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“That’swhythisissue(期)ofWriter’sDigestaimstohelpyoufigureouthowto

作者提到彼得·蒙福德和伊丽莎白·西姆斯是为了强调这期《Writer’sDigest》的主题，即帮助读者写出更好

的结尾。故选B项。
