D.Recognised.答案:A解析:词义揣测题。依据第三段中的“Theysaidhehadtoomuchcredit.Therefore,sofarhehasn’thadaNewberrycardinhiscollection.”可知,卡瓦纳没有NewberryCompany的卡,表明他的申请被拒绝了,故选A项。26.Whatdotheunderlinedwords“thediscipline”inthelastparagraphprobablyreferto?A.Havingmanycardstoyourownname.B.Buyingthingsbycardandpayingoffintime.C.Managingtoownmoreprivilegesforyourcard.D.Usingacardtobuythingsasmanytimesaspossible.答案:B解析:推理推断题。依据最终一段中的“Neveruseacardtobuyanythingyoucan’tpayoffinacoupleofmonths.”可知,卡瓦纳建议人们:假如几个月内无法偿还信用卡,那最好别用信用卡购物,故选B项。27.WhatdoweknowaboutCavanagh’scards?A.Someofthemareuseless.B.Theyaresafelykeptinhislongwallet.C.Theyhavebroughthimfameandprivilege.D.Fewernewcardsareaddedtohiscollections.答案:C解析:推理推断题。依据第一段中的“holdstheGuinnessRecordforthemostcreditcards”及倒数其次段中的“Despitethisprivilege”可知,卡瓦纳保藏的信用卡给他带来荣誉并且也使他享有一些特权。CIthappenstomostfirst-timefishkeepers.Theyruntoafishstore,pickoutthebestlookingfish,andgetallthethingstheyneedfortheirtanks.Thentheyfilluptheirtanksandputtheirfishinthewater.Overthecourseofthenextweek,theirfisharen’tlookingsogood.Thenallofasudden,alloftheirfishstarttodieoff.Luckily,thereisanexplanation.Ammonia(氨)andnitrite(亚硝酸盐)aretoxictofish.Yousee,keepingfishinatankproducesammonia.Ifafishisplacedinanewtank,thetankwon’tbeequippedwiththeabilitytochangethatammoniaintoalessharmfulchemical.Andthat’swhytheydie.Toavoidthewholefailure,youhavetounderstandalittlesomethingcalledtheNitrogenCycle(氮循环).Afterammoniaisproducedinatank,akindofbacteriumthatisnaturallyfoundinwater(abacteriumthatconsumesammoniaandproducesnitrite)reproducesitselftoformalargeenoughareatochangeallammoniaintonitrite.Astheconcentration(浓度)ofnitriteincreases,thesamethinghappenstonitrite,whichhappenedtoammonia.Agroupofbacteriathatchangenitriteintonitrate(硝酸盐)forminlargenumbers.Thecycletakesaboutoneweektoseveralmonths,dependingonyourtechnique.Whenatankreachesapointwhereitcanchangeallammoniaandnitritebeingproducedinatanktonitratebeforetheyreachharmfulconcentrations,ithasfinishedtheNitrogenCycle—itissafeforfish.Sobeforeyoueverplaceafishintoatankfromnowon,usesomeskillstomakeitdothatfirst.Todoso,slightlyincreaseammoniaconcentrationofyourtank.Ifafter24hours,yourtankhasnomarkofammoniaornitrite,youcanensurethatit’scycled.Youjustneedtoperformapartialwaterchangeandyourtankisreadyforfish.28.Whatcanwelearnfromparagraph1?A.It’sreallyhardforpeopletokeepfishwell.B.Theauthorfeelsverysorryforthosedeadfish.C.Newfishkeepersbegintoraisefishinahurry.D.Peoplehavenoideahowtousetheirtankswell.答案:C解析:推理推断题。第一段描述了养鱼新手常常会遇到的问题:他们刚养的鱼很快就死了;由其次段的最终两句可知这是因为新买的鱼缸产生有害物质,从而导致鱼中毒而死。由此可推知作者在第一段中想说明新手养鱼太仓促了。29.Whichofthefollowingcanreplacetheunderlinedword“toxic”inparagraph2?A.Open. B.Harmful.C.Familiar. D.Beneficial.答案:B解析:词义揣测题。由其次段的“thetankwon’tbeequippedwiththeabilitytochangethatammoniaintoalessharmfulchemical”可推知,ammonia和nitrite这两种化学物质对鱼类有害。30.WhatdoweknowabouttheNitrogenCycle?A.Itmakessureoffish’ssafety.B.Itprovidesallthenutritionfishneed.C.Itincreasestheconcentrationofammonia.D.Itproducesmorechemicalstocleanthetank.答案:A解析:细微环节理解题。由第三段的内容尤其是最终一句“ithasfinishedtheNitrogenCycle—itissafeforfish”可知,新买的鱼缸经过氮循环之后,人们就可以用它来养鱼了。故选A项。31.Whichquestioncan’tbeansweredinthetext?A.What’stherightwaytoraisefishinanewtank?B.WhathappensduringtheNitrogenCycle?C.Whyarefishinanewtanklikelytodie?D.Whyisnitratelessharmfultofish?答案:D解析:推理推断题。文章第一段介绍了养鱼新手常遇到的问题,其次段说明了造成这种问题的缘由,第三段详细介绍了氮循环的过程,最终一段介绍了用新鱼缸养鱼的正确方法。故选D项。DArecentStanfordstudyfoundthatAmerica’sstudentsareshockinglybadattellingfactfromfictioninthisdigitalage.It’sapparentthatsomethinghastochangeinthenation’sclassrooms.Thatsomething,accordingtoProfessorSamWineburg,oneofthoseStanfordresearchers,is“practice.”“Howdotheybecomepreparedtomakethechoicesaboutwhattobelieve,whattoforward,whattoposttotheirfriends,”WineburgaskedonNPR’sAllThingsConsidered,“whenteachersgivenopracticetothem?”PatriciaHunt,anexperiencedteacheratWakefieldHighSchoolinArlington,Va.,isdoingsomethingshehasneverdonebefore:helpingtopilotanew,digitalcoursecalledthecheckologyvirtualclassroom.ItcomesfromthenonprofitTheNewsLiteracyProject.Hunt’sstudents,mostofthemseniors,workinthreesorfours.They’representedwithaseriesofstoriesthatarerapidlyandbroadlyspreadviatheInternet.Somearefalseinformation.Someareads.Andsomearepurefact.“Wedon’tknowwhichiswhichatthispoint,”laughsstudentKahderSmith.“Weactuallyhavetositdown,takeourtime,andactuallyreadthem.AndprobablyGooglesomestufftoseeifit’srealornot.”Apostclaimsthatmorethanadozenpeoplediedafterreceivingthefluvaccine(疫苗)inItalyandthattheCDC(CentersforDiseaseControl)isnowtellingpeoplenottogetaflushot.“Imean,I’veheardmanyunconfirmedreportsthattheflushot’sbadforyou,”studentAutumnCoopersays.Butinstinct(直觉)tellsherthestory’swrong.“Itjustdoesn’tlooklikeareliablesource.ItlookslikethisisoffMetaandsomeonesharedit.”Cooperlabelsthestory“fiction”.Andshe’sright.Insteadofteachingstudentsthefundamentalsoffact-checking,manyschoolssimplyignoretheproblem,blockingsocialmediasitesonschoolcomputers.“It’sliketeachingstudentstodriveintheparkinglotandthensendingthemoutonthehighwayandsaying‘Goodluck!’,”saysAudreyChurch,presidentoftheAmericanAssociationofSchoolLibrarians.32.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“they”inparagraph2referto?A.Stanfordresearchers. B.Mediapeople.C.Students. D.Teachers.答案:C解析:代词指代题。依据第一段中的“America’sstudentsareshockinglybadattellingfactfromfictioninthisdigitalage”可知,在电子时代,美国的学生缺乏辨别真假消息的实力,由此可推想,这里是问“这些学生”如何做好打算来做出选择:信任什么、传递什么、给他们的挚友发布什么消息。另外,依据其次段末的“whenteachersgivenopracticetothem”也可推想,这里的they指的是学生。33.HowdoesHuntrunthedigitalcourse?A.Byinvitingexpertstogivestudentslectures.B.ByaskingstudentstogoontheInternettogether.C.Bytakingstudentstoanewsorganisationregularly.D.Bylettingstudentsidentifyfactualinformationingroups.答案:D解析:细微环节理解题。依据第四、五段内容可知,Hunt让她的学生三四人一组鉴别真假消息。34.AccordingtoChurch,whatshouldschoolsdo?A.Helpstudentsimprovedrivingskills.

D.Askstudentstoavoidusingsocialmedia.答案:B解析:推理推断题。依据最终两段内容可知,Church认为学校屏蔽社交媒体的做法就像是在停车场教会学生们开车后让他们干脆上路,这样做无疑风险很大。由此可推想他反对学校屏蔽社交媒体的做法,而是希望学校能够教孩子们如何识别假新闻。35.Whatdoesthetextmainlydiscuss?A.ThefindingsofarecentStanfordstudy.
