【答案】24.A25.A26.C27.D

【解析】

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了LewisMiller在纽约曼哈顿的街道上设计花卉装

置，旨在照亮医疗保健和其他重要工作人员的工作日。文章还介绍了人们对此做法表示称赞，

以及Mille对自己这一行动的态度。

【24题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段"Adesignerisrecentlycreatingfloralinstallationsonthestreetsof

Manhattan,NewYorkthataremeanttobrightenthedaysofhealthcareandotherimportant

workers.（最近，一位设计师在纽约曼哈顿的街道上创作花卉装置，旨在照亮医疗保健和其

他重要工作人员的日子。）”可知这些花卉装置主要是为医务人员设计的。故选A。

gottenmorethan16,000likesinlessthanaday.（一篇贴着米勒所说的"flash”照片的帖子在

不到一天的时间里就得到了超过1.6万个赞）”可知，由此可推知，市民们认为Miller的花卉

装置的想法是值得赞扬的。故选A。

【26题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段中"LewisMiller'smostrecentcreationisanarrangementpoppingout

ofarubbishcanatthecomerofW58thStreetand10thAvenue.（LewisMiller最近的作品是从西

58街和第10大道拐角处的一个垃圾桶里弹出的一个布局。）”可知，这个设计很有创意，因

为它是从垃圾桶里蹦出来的。故选C。

【27题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第一段Adesignerisrecentlycreatingfloralinstallationsonthestreetsof

Manhattan,NewYorkthataremeanttobrightenthedaysofhealthcareandotherimportant

workers.（最近，一位设计师在纽约曼哈顿的街道上创作花卉装置，旨在照亮医疗保健和其

【答案】28.D29.A30.C31.B

【解析】

【分析】这是一篇说明文。英国最传统的节日之一是海滨度假。以前英国人选择出国游，但

近些年来，受全球经济影响，更多的英国人选择国内游。因此，英国也开始在国内探索自己

了.

【28题详解】

细节理解题。根据第四段Also,theworldseemsalesscertainplaceasinterconnectedeconomies

（经济）riseandfall,whichmeansthatthecostofforeignholidaysislesspredictablethanbefore.

可知，随着相互关联的经济体的起伏，世界似乎是一个不那么确定的地方，这就意味着国外

度假的费用比以前更不可预测。由此可以看出，更多的英国人在自己国家度假，是因为国外

度假的费用不稳定。故选D。

【29题详解】

词句猜测题。根据划线词前面的Thedomestic（国内的）tourismindustry—whenpeoplegoon

holidayintheirowncountry——ishealthierthanithasbeenindecades.nJ"知，国内旅游业,即人

们在自己的国家度假，比过去几十年更健康。由此可以猜出，英国报纸发明的一个新词

staycation的意思是“在国内度假”。故选A。

【30题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第四段ThereisnowanincreasedappreciationamongBritonsforthediversity

oftheUK.Itisnotjustthegeography,whichrangesfromtheflatfens（沼泽）ofEastAngliatothe

valleysofWalestothemountainsofScotland,whichisdiverse.Anditisnotjustthediversityof

hillwalkingandskiinginthenorth,itisalsothediversityoftheculturesintheUKthatisbeginning

tobeofinteresttodomestictourists.nJMl,现在,英国人越来越欣赏英国的多样性。多样性不

仅仅是地理上的，从东安格利亚的平原沼泽，到威尔士的山谷，再到苏格兰的群山，这些都

是多样的；多样性也不仅仅是基于气候的各种活动，英格兰温暖的西南部冲浪，北部的爬山

滑雪；还有国内游客开始感兴趣的文化的多样性。由此可以看出，描述的多样性包含了地理

上的和文化上的。结合选项，本段最合适的标题是“宽度和广度”。故选C。

[31题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段ThereisnowanincreasedappreciationamongBritonsforthe

diversityoftheUK.可知，现在，英国人越来越欣赏英国的多样性。结合前面提到，更多的

英国人选择在国内旅游，说明英国开始发现自己了。由此可以推断出，文章的目的是指出，

英国开始发掘自己了。故选B。

【答案】32.C33.B34.C35.A

【解析】

【分析】这是一篇说明文，一个科学家团队使用水下扬声器播放健康珊瑚礁的声音，诱使鱼

类回到死去的珊瑚礁地区，这些鱼会帮助受损的珊瑚礁恢复健康。

【32题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句‘'"Damagedreefshaveahigherchanceofrecoveryifthey

havehealthyfishpopulation,"thescientistswroteinthereport.（"如果被破坏的珊瑚礁拥有健康

的鱼群数量，那么它们恢复的几率会更高。”科学家们在报告中写道。）”可知，科学家们

播放健康珊瑚礁的录音，吸引鱼类的目的是帮助受损的珊瑚礁恢复健康。故选C项。

【33题详解】

推理判断题。结合第四段中"SteveSimpsonsaidthat"healthycoralreefsareremarkablynoisy

places.”（SteveSimpson说“健康的珊瑚礁是非常嘈杂的地方。"）”及"Headdedthatreefs

“becomeghostlyquiet“whentheysufferdestructionthatisusuallyrelatedtohuman-caused

pollution.（他补充说，当珊瑚礁遭受破坏时，它们会变得“像幽灵一样安静”，而这种破坏

通常与人为污染有关•）”可知，Steve通过比较健康的珊瑚礁和受损的珊瑚礁来解释珊瑚礁。

故选B项。

【34题详解】

词义猜测题。根据划线词前一句"Hesaidthatthereturnofthesefishisthefirststeptoseeing

majorimprovementsinreefhealth.可知，这些鱼类的回归是珊瑚礁健康状况重大改善的第

一步，结合划线词后的“fishthatcleanthereefandcreatespaceforcoralstoregrow（清洁珊瑚

礁并为珊瑚再生创造空间的鱼类）”可知，返回的鱼类清洁珊瑚礁，并为珊瑚礁的生长创造

空间，由此可推知划线句“Recoveryisunderpinnedbvfish”意为“这些鱼支持了珊瑚礁的恢

复"。划线词"underpinned"意为“支持”。故选C项。

【35题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后——段中“Buthenotedthatotherthreatsneedtobereducedaswell.These

includeclimatechange,pollutionandoverfishing.Fromlocalmanagementinnovationsto

internationalpoliticalaction,weneedmeaningfulprogressataillevelstopaintabetterfuturefor

reefsworldwide.（但他指出，其他威胁也需要减少。这些因素包括气候变化、污染和过度捕

捞。从地方管理创新到国际政治行动，我们需要在各个层面取得有意义的进展，为全世界的

珊瑚礁描绘一个更美好的未来可知，Andy强调珊瑚礁需要各个层面的保护。故选A项。
