【答案】24.D25.B26.C27.B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述的是经济发展和环境破坏之间的联系。并详细分析了经济增
长的多个方面对环境的不同影响。
【24题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章主题段第一一段Providinghumanitywiththesethingsisconnectedtothe
useofnaturalresources,whichrequiresenergy.Inturn,thecommonsourcesofenergyweuse
todaycausepollution,soeconomicgrowthisalmostunavoidablyassociatedwith
environmentaldamage.可知为人类提供这些东西与自然资源的使用有关,这需要能源。反过
来,我们今天使用的普通能源会造成污染,所以经济增长儿乎不可避免地与环境破坏联系在
一起。所以本文主要讲述的是经济发展和环境破坏之间的联系。故D正确。
[25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据Theseplantsproducealotofwaste,leadingtothepollutionofwaterandthe
atmosphere,whichmaycausenegativelongtermhealtheffectstonearbypopulationsofanimals,
orpeople.Theyalsoleadtoglobalwarming.可知,这些植物产生大量的废物,导致水污染和大
气,这可能会对附近的动物或人的健康造成长期的负面影响。所以这些植物不仅仅产生很多
的垃圾,而且也会导致全球变暖。所以“They”指的是“工业植物”。故B正确。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段1,2行Industrialmanufacturingleadstotheconstantly
increasingenergyconsumption.Thetraditionalenergysources,whicharecommonlyused
nowadays,areconsideredtobethegreatestpolluterstotheenvironment.可知,工业制造导致能
源消耗不断增加。目前普遍使用的传统能源被认为是对环境的最大污染源。所以工业制造对
环境产生的破坏作用是很大的,故C正确。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。本文第一段是主题段,第二段说明经济增长是环境破坏的主要原因。第三段
做出列举,接下来的4,5,6三段具体说明各种经济增长的行为对环境的影响。最后一段进行
总结,故B正确。

【答案】28.D29.B30.B31.A
【解析】
这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了一群准哈佛学生因在社交媒体上发布攻击性表情包,而被校
方撤回了录取通知,此事在全世界引发了各方的热议。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的""ItsoundslikeHarvardisintrudingtoodeeplyintothe
privatelivesofstudents,“AlanDershowitz,aretiredHarvardLawSchoolprofessor,toldThe
Guardian.llItmayaffectthemforlife."可知,AlanDershowitz认为哈佛对学生的私生活干涉
得太深了,这个决定可能会影响他们的一生。由此推知,AlanDershowitz认为校方撤回这些
学生的录取通知书是错误的。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的"ButoneofHarvard'sownpoliciessaysithastherightto
withdrawoffersofacceptanceifan''admittedstudentengagesinbehaviorthatbringsintoquestion
hisorherhonesty,maturity,ormoralcharacter”,accordingtotheHarvardCrimson.“可知,哈佛
大学的一条政策解释到:如果被录取的学生从事的行为使他或她的诚实,成熟或道德品格受
到质疑,哈佛大学有权撤回录取通知。由此可知,哈佛大学撤回录取通知书可能是因为这些
学生的道德品质是有问题的。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第四段"Theincidenthascausedfiercedebates,bothintheuniversityand
aroundtheworld."可知,这一事件在大学和全世界引起了激烈的争论;倒数第三段列举了
即将入学的大一新生JessicaZhang的观点:有很多话题不应该被开玩笑;倒数第二段列举了
哈佛大学法学院退休教授AlanDershowitz的观点:哈佛对学生的私生活干涉得太深了,这个
决定可能会影响他们的一生;最后一段中的“Theuniversitydidn'texplainthedecisionto
withdrawtheoffers,sayingitdoesn'tcommentpubliclyontheadmissionofindividual
applicants."提到哈佛大学没有解释撤回录取通知的决定。由此可知,文章中提到了该事件
引发的反应及各方对这件事的态度,作者没有发表自己的看法,可知作者是在客观地描述这
件事及各方的反应。故选B。
[31题详解】
标题判断题。通读全文,尤其根据第一、二段中的“Butsometimes,sendingthewrongmeme
canmeantrouble.n和“Atleast10studentswhowereadmittedtoHarvardUniversitylosttheir
chancetostudythereafterpostingoffensivememesinaprivateFacebookgroup,theuniversity's
studentnewspaper,theHarvardCrimson,reportedonJune5.”可知,有时候,发送错误的表情
包意味着麻烦。至少10名准哈佛学生因在社交媒体上发布攻击性的表情包,而被校方撤回
了录取通知。即本文主要介绍了有望进入哈佛大学的学生因在社交媒体上发布攻击性的表情
包从而付出了沉重的代价,因此A项适合作为文章的标题。故选A。
D
