【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。本文介绍了中国外借给比利时的大熊猫天宝在被疫情影响两年后，即

将返回中国一事。

1.细节理解题。由第一段中的"AsgiantpandaTianBaowalkedtowardthefeastplacedinhisenclosure

（围场）onThursdayatPairiDaizazooinBelgium,fanswaitingoutsidebegantosingHappyBirthdayin

DutchandFrench.（周四，当大熊猫“天宝”走向放在比利时PairiDaiza动物园围栏里的盛宴时，等待

在外面的粉丝们开始用荷兰语和法语唱起“生日快乐”）”和第五段中的“GiantpandakeeperRobin

Bouttefeuxsaidthathepreparedbambooshoots,carrotsandacakemadeofsoybeans,riceandcornforTian

Bao,sbirthday.HesaidthateveryvisitorlovesTianBao.（大熊猫饲养员罗宾•布特费克斯说，他为天宝

的生日准备了竹笋、胡萝卜和大豆、大米和玉米做成的蛋糕。他说每个游客都喜欢天宝）“可知，周四

游客们为天宝唱歌，是为天宝庆祝生日。故选A项。

2.推理判断题。由第二段中的“ShealsocameafterTianBaowasbomonJune2,2016—thefirstgiant

pandababyborninBelgium.（她也是在天宝于2016年6月2日出生后来的，天宝是第一个在比利时

出生的大熊猫宝宝）”和第四段中的"TianBao'sdepartureforChinahasbeendelayedbytheCOVID-19

pandemic.HeisnowexpectedtogotoChinaatthebeginningofnextyear（由于新冠肺炎疫情，天宝推迟

了前往中国的行程。预计他将于明年初前往中国）“可知，天宝2016年在比利时出生，它一直住在当

地动物园，预计明年返回中国，可得出它在比利时已经6年了。故选B项。

3.细节理角军题。由第五段中的“GiantpandakeeperRobinBouttefeuxsaidthathepreparedbambooshoots,

carrotsandacakemadeofsoybeans,riceandcornforTianBao'sbirthday.（大熊猫饲养员罗宾•布特费克

斯说，他为天宝的生日准备了竹笋、胡萝卜和大豆、大米和玉米做成的蛋糕）”可知，RobinBouttefeux

负责照顾天宝。故选C项。

4.推理判断题。本文介绍了中国外借给比利时的大熊猫天宝在被疫情影响两年后，即将返回中国一

事，应为新闻报道。故选D项。

5.C6.A7.A8.B

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要披露了美国及英国在奥运会自行车比赛项目中依靠技术垄

断获取优势的做法。

5.细节理解题。根据第一段“OnethingthatsetscyclingapartfrommostothersportsattheOlympicsis

technology.Withtheexceptionofafewothersports,suchassailingandrowing,mosteventsthattakeplace

attheSummerGamesusuallyjustcomedowntotheperformancesoftheathletes.（在奥运会上，自行车运

动与其他大多数运动项目的区别在于科技。除了帆船和赛艇等少数其他运动项目外，夏季奥运会上

举行的大多数项目通常只取决于运动员的表现）”可知，跳高对技术的依赖程度较低。故选C。

6.词义猜测题。根据画线词后“sinceOlympicrulesstatethatanybikeusedincompetitionmustbemade

availabletothepublic.ButtheAmericanbike-makerFeltBicyclesonlysoldthenewbikestotheAmerican

team.（因为奥运规则规定，任何用于比赛的自行车都必须向公众开放。但美国自行车制造商Feltbikes

只向美国团队出售新自行车。）“可知，美国搞技术垄断是不符合比赛规则的，因此会受到奥委会的批

评。故选A。

7.推理判断题。根据最后一段“ThentheBritishadoptedamoretactfiil（圆滑的）strategy.（然后英国人采

取了一种更圆滑的策略。）"以及"Throwingintheexpensivesuits,oilforchains,andsunglassesandshoes,

theinvestmentneededtocompeteforacyclingmedalcanbealmostunaffordableformostoftheathletes.（再

加上昂贵的服装、链子上的油、太阳镜和鞋子，争夺一枚自行车奖牌所需的投资对大多数运动员来

说几乎是无法承受的。）“可推断，装备的昂贵其他运动员无法承受，而英国运动员依靠技术垄断获得

不公平的比赛优势。故选A。

8.推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要披露了美国及英国在奥运会自行车比赛项目中依靠技术垄

断获取优势的做法。此很可能出现在“体育”版面。故选B。

9.B10.D11.B12.D

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章按照时间顺序着重介绍了三星堆遗址中祭祀坑的发现、发掘工

作及意义。

9.词句猜测题。根据该词所在句子“However,theworkofexcavationonthesiteonlybeganin1986,when

twopits—widelybelievedforsacrificialceremonies—wereaccidentallydiscovered.（当两个祭祀坑被意

外发现，三星堆大规模的excavation1986年才真正开始。）”可推测，该划线词excavation的意思是

“挖掘、发掘“，即三星堆最大规模的发掘工作1986年才开始。故画线词excavation意思是“挖掘：发

掘”。故选B。

10.细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句话“Excavationcapsuleswithhi-techequipmentweresetupinthe

pitsinordertopreventthesitefromfurtherdestruction.（为了防止遗址进一步被破坏，在坑内设置了装

有高科技设备的挖掘舱。）”可知为了更好地保存该址，考古学家采用配备高科技设备的挖掘舱保护三

星堆遗址。故选D。

11.推理判断题。根据最后一段"Sanxingduisitecoversanareaof12squarekilometers,anditscorezone

ofanancientcitycovers3.6squarekilometers.（三星堆遗址占地面积12平方公里，其古城核心区占地

3.6平方公里。户可知，核心区面积约为三星堆遗址的1/3。故选B。

12.主旨大意题。根据第一段中"Six"sacrificialpits（祭祀坑）“，datingback3,200to4,000yeas,were

newlydiscoveredinSanxingduiRuinssiteinGuanghan.Over500artifacts,includinggoldmasks,bronze

wares,ivories,jadesandtextileswereunearthedfromthesite.（在中国西南部四川省广汉市三星堆遗址新

发现了6个距今3200至4000年的“祭祀坑:该遗址出土了500多件文物，包括金面具、青铜器、

象牙、玉器和纺织品。）''以及全文按照时间顺序着重介绍了三星堆遗址中祭祀坑的发现、发掘工作

可知，D项“SacrificialpitswereunearthedinSanxingduisite.（三星堆遗址出土了祭祀坑）“可以概括文

章。故选Do

13.B14.A15.C16.D

【导语】这是一篇新闻报道类文章。文章讲述了LadyGaga帮助三个受大规模枪击事件的社区的孩

子们重返校园，给予他们希望的事。

13.细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Childrenfromthreecommunitiesaffectedbythelatestmass

shootingsintheUnitedStatesarestartinganewschoolyear.（受美国最近大规模枪击事件影响的三个社

区的孩子们开始了新学年。）”和文章第三段中的"Gaga'saimistobringameasureofhopeIoplaces

affectedbyanespeciallyviolentweekofmasskillings.（Gaga的目的是给那些遭受暴力屠杀的地方带来

希望。）“可知，这三个社区的孩子遭受了大规模枪击事件，生活变得灰暗，而Gaga这么做的目的是

Foundation,inpartnershipwiththenonprofitgroupDonorsChoose.（这些项目的资金来自Gaga的“生来

如此“基金会与非营利组织“捐助者选择”的合作。户可知，Gaga是和基金会和非盈利组织一起合作的，

并不是一个人在做。故选C项。

16.推理判断题。根据文章第一段内容“Childrenfromthreecommunitiesaffectedbythelatestmass

shootingsintheUnitedStatesarestartinganewschoolyeai'.
