D.ExploretheoceansonEarth.【答案】12.A13.C14.D15.A【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了研究人员表示，新的证据表明，土星冰冷的卫星土卫一可能有一个巨大的地下海洋。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Mimasisarelativelysmallmoon,about400kilometerswide.ResearcherssayMimasdoesn’thaveformations(构造)onitssurfacefoundonothermoons,whichsuggeststhepresenceofundergroundwater.(土卫一是一颗相对较小的卫星，大约400公里宽。研究人员表示，土卫一表面没有其他卫星上发现的地层，这表明存在地下水)”可知，不寻常的表面表明土卫一上有水。故选A。【13题详解】词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“causedbyacrashwithaspaceobject(是由太空物体撞击造成的)”可知，crater是指太空物体撞击造成的坑洞。故划线词意思是“洞穴”。故选C。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Thewaterisincontactwiththemoon’srockycenter,whichmaycreatetherightcomplex(复杂的)chemicalconditionstosupportlife.

Buttheresearchersnotedthatbecausetheoceanisbelievedtobeyoung,itmightbeachallengeforlife’sdevelopment.(水与月球的岩石中心接触，可能会创造出适合生命生存的复杂化学条件。但研究人员指出，由于海洋被认为是年轻的，它可能对生命的发展构成挑战)”可知，生命很难在土卫一上发展因为它的海洋存在的时间不够长。故选D。【15题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“TheoceanonMimasmayofferauniqueopportunitytoexplorethefirststageoflife’sdevelopment.(土卫一上的海洋可能为探索生命发展的第一阶段提供了一个独特的机会)”可知，地下海洋可以帮助研究人员研究早期生命的形成。故选A。第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。TheArtofSpreadingNewPlantsfromCuttingsIntheworldofgardening,there’samagicaljourneywhereyouusethepowerofcuttingstocreatenewlife.Spreadingplantsfromcuttingsisasatisfyingandsustainable(可持续的)practice.Thisincreasesyourgreentreasures.___16___SelectingandPreparingCuttingsNotallplantsrespondequallytothespreadingprocess.___17___Manyplantsareproperforspreadingthroughcuttings.Researchthespecificneedsoftheplantsyou’reinterestedin,payingattentiontofactorslikeseason,plantage,andoverallhealth.Choosehealthy,disease-freestems(茎).Usingclean,sharpknives,takeyourcuttingsinthemorningwhentheplant’swaterlevelsarebest.Onceyouhaveyourcuttings,removeleavesfromthelowerpartofthestemtoreducewaterloss.DevelopingYourCuttingstoPlants___18___Regularlywaterthecuttingstomaintainwetnessandmonitorthesoilcondition.Asrootsdevelopandtheplantestablishesitself,graduallyadaptittotheconditionsofitsfuturehome.Thejourneyfromasimplecuttingtoahealthyplantmaytakeweeksorevenmonths,buttherewardsarewellworththewait.SustainableGardeningPracticeSpreadingplantsthroughcuttingsisnotjustaboutexpandingyourgarden.It’sasustainablepractice.___19___Sharingyournewplantswithfriendsandfellowgardenerscreatesasenseofcommunityandspreadsthejoyofgrowingyourgreenfamily.Creatingnewplantsfromcuttingsisafascinatingjourneythatwillchangeyourgardenintoapleasantplant-filledgarden.___20___Withabitofpatience,care,andatouch,you’llfindgreatjoyinseeingthecycleoflifehappeninyourveryowngarden.Happyspreading!A.Italsostartsadeeperconnectionwithnature.B.Thistechniquecannotbeeasilylearned.C.So,it’simportanttochoosetherightplants.D.Thereasonisthatitcreatesnewplantswithoutusingseeds.E.Growingplantsfromcuttingsisalessoninpatience.F.Gettinganindependentplantfromjustatinycuttingisafortuneinitself.G.Asyoustartonthisjourney,eachcuttingholdsthepossibilityforanewbeginning.【答案】16.A17.C18.E19.D20.G【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了通过插枝的方式种植植物。【16题详解】根据上文“Intheworldofgardening,there’samagicaljourneywhereyouusethepowerofcuttingstocreatenewlife.Spreadingplantsfromcuttingsisasatisfyingandsustainable(可持续的)practice.Thisincreasesyourgreentreasures.(在园艺的世界里，有一个神奇的旅程，你用插枝的力量创造新的生命。从插枝上散播植物是一种令人满意和可持续的做法。这将增加你的绿色宝藏)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，故承接上文，继续说明插枝的好处。A选项“它还开启了与自然更深层次的联系”符合语境，故选A。【17题详解】根据上文“Notallplantsrespondequallytothespreadingprocess.(并非所有植物对扩散过程的反应都一样)”指出，并不是所有植物的传播都是一样的，结合小标题“ SelectingandPreparingCuttings(选择和准备插枝)”可知，应该选择合适的可扦插的植物。C选项“所以，选择合适的植物是很重要的”符合语境，与上文构成因果关系。故选C。【18题详解】根据后文“Regularlywaterthecuttingstomaintainwetnessandmonitorthesoilcondition.Asrootsdevelopandtheplantestablishesitself,graduallyadaptittotheconditionsofitsfuturehome.Thejourneyfromasimplecuttingtoahealthyplantmaytakeweeksorevenmonths,buttherewardsarewellworththewait.(定期给插枝浇水以保持水分并监测土壤状况。随着根的生长和植物的生长，它逐渐适应未来家园的环境。从一个简单的修剪到一株健康的植物可能需要几周甚至几个月的时间，但回报是值得等待的)”可知，需要定期给插枝浇水以保持水分并监测土壤状况，从一个简单的修剪到一株健康的植物可能需要几周甚至几个月的时间，由此可知，插枝需要耐心。E选项“用插枝来种植植物是一门耐心的课程”符合语境，故选E。【19题详解】上文“Spreadingplantsthroughcuttingsisnotjustaboutexpandingyourgarden.It’sasustainablepractice.(通过插枝传播植物不仅仅是为了扩大你的花园。这是一种可持续的做法)”指出插枝是可持续做法；故D选项“原因是它不用种子就能培育新植物”承接上文，解释插枝是一种可持续性做法的原因，符合语境，故选D。【20题详解】根据上文“Creatingnewplantsfromcuttingsisafascinatingjourneythatwillchangeyourgardenintoapleasantplant-filledgarden.(从插枝中创造新的植物是一个迷人的旅程，它将把你的花园变成一个充满植物的愉快的花园)”以及后文“Withabitofpatience,care,andatouch,you’llfindgreatjoyinseeingthecycleoflifehappeninyourveryowngarden.Happyspreading!(只要有一点耐心、细心和触摸，你就会发现在你自己的花园里看到生命的循环是多么的快乐。传播快乐！)”可知，本句是在建议开始插枝，然后把花园变成一个充满植物的愉快的花园。故G选项“当你开始这段旅程时，每一次切割都有可能是一个新的开始”符合语境，选项中“thisjourney”指代上文中的“afascinatingjourney”。故选G。第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Afour-year-olddognamedKobbecameaheroinitsneighborhoodbydiscoveringapossiblylife-threateninggasleak(泄漏)initsowner’sfrontyard.Thisdog’sactionsnotonly___21___itssurroundings,butalsostressedtheimportanceofthebehaviorofourfurryfriends.ThestorybeganwhenKob,___22___by28-year-oldChanellBell,starteddiggingalargeholeintheyard.Atfirst,Bellthoughtthiswastypicaldog___23___,butastheholegrewlarger,shebecame___24___.RecognizingthatKob’sactionswereunusual,shetrustedthedog’sjudgment,consideringitsnormallywell-behavednature.After___25___arecentgasleakinherhome,Chanel___26___agasdetecting(探测)tool.Shefollowedhersenseandchosetousethetoolto___27___thenewlydugholebyKob.Findinggascomingoutofthehole,Bell___28___contactedtheauthoritiesabouttheissue.“Ifitwasn’tfound,the___29___wouldhavecontinuedtoescapeintoourhomes,”Bellsaid.“Weweretolditcouldhavecaused____30____healtheffectslikebreathingissues,braindamage,andeven____31____.Theytoldmethatsomethingassimpleas____32____alightcouldhavecausedaburst!”Duringtherepairs,workers____33____threemaingasleaksinBell’sneighborhoodcausedbyaging____34____.Ittooktheworkersoverthreedaystorepairtheleaksandreplacetheoldequipment.Throughouttherepairs,theworkers____35____Kobforsavingtheneighborhood.21.A.matched
