D.Thetaskoftheleadingcharacter.〖答案〗1.D2.C3.D4.C【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了皇家莎士比亚剧团利用虚拟体验技术使观众参与剧中，给观众带来全新的体验。【1题详析】细节理解题。根据第二段中“Thedifferencethistimeisthateverythingintheplay—theperformersandtheirsurroundings—willbeshownvirtually.(这次的不同之处在于，剧中的一切——演员和他们周围的环境——都将以虚拟的方式呈现)”可知，对于剧中的人物和环境的呈现方式使得Dream区别于TheTempest。故选D。【2题详析】主旨大意题。根据第三段“Sevenactorswillperforminaspecially-builtstudioinPortsmouth,southernEngland,wearingmotion-capturesuits.Theywillbesurroundedbya360-degreecameraset,madeupof47cameraswitheverymovementalmostimmediatelypresenteddigitally,whichispresentedtoviewersonline.Withitsmuch-reducedcharacters,DreamisnotacompleteproductionofAMidsummerNight’sDream;rather,itisastoryinspiredbyit,focusingonPuckandthefairies.(七名演员将穿着动作捕捉服，在英格兰南部朴茨茅斯的一个专门建造的摄影棚里表演。他们将被一个由47台摄像机组成的360度摄像机包围，每一个动作都几乎立即以数字方式呈现，并在线呈现给观众。《仲夏夜之梦》的角色被大大删减，因此《梦》并不是一部完整的作品；相反，它是一个受其启发的故事，主要讲述帕克和仙女们的故事)”可知，该段主要侧重讲述这部剧的制作过程。故选C。【3题详析】词句猜测题。根据画线短语前的“Upto2,000audiencemembersforeachperformancecanbecomepartoftheshowandwillbeinvitedtoguidePuckthroughtheforest(每场演出最多有2000名观众可以成为演出的一部分，并将被邀请引导Puck穿过森林)”以及画线短语后的“togothroughthevirtualspace”可知，观众通过使用鼠标或手指在智能设备的屏幕上移动萤火虫，而Puck会随时待命，即跟随它们的指引，通过虚拟空间。故划线词意思是“准备好服从他们的命令”。故选D。【4题详析】推理判断题。根据最后一段““Withoutthefireflies—theaudiences—Puckwouldn’tbegoinganywhere,”saidE.M.Williamswhoplaystherole.“Theaudiencesareverymuchthefuelandtheenergyoftheshow.”(“没有萤火虫——没有观众——Puck哪儿也去不了，”扮演Puck的E.M.威廉姆斯说。“观众是这部剧的燃料和能量。”)”可知，没有观众所扮演的萤火虫的指引，这部剧的主角Puck哪儿也去不了。观众就是这部剧的“燃料”和“能量”。由此推知，E.M.Williams强调了观众的重要性。故选C。BIthadalwaysbeenassumedthattherarityoflightninginoceanstormswasduetocleanerairoverthevastseas,butkeenobservationshaveshownthatevenhighlypollutedairisassociatedwithreducedlightningatseawhenseasprayaerosols(气溶胶)areabundant.IntheirpaperpublishedinthejournalNatureCommunications,aninternationalteamofresearchersdescribestheirmulti-yearstudyofatmosphericconditionsovertheoceansborderingAfricaandwhatitshowedaboutsaltinseasprayaerosolsanditsimpactonlightning.TheresearchersobtainedatmosphericdataonAfricaandtheoceansarounditfortheperiod2013to2017.Thedataincludednumbersoflightningflashes,rainfall,temperaturesandcloudrepresentations.Theylookedfordifferencesinatmosphericconditionsinstormsthatoccurredoverlandversusthosethatoccurredovertheseaandfoundonemaindifference:theamountofsaltintheair.Lightningisproducedwhenupwardlymovingairincloudsformsicecrystals(冰晶)—aerosolparticlesthenbegintobumpintooneanother,creatinganelectricalcharge.Lightninghappenswhentheelectricalfieldinonepartofthecloudbecomespositivelycharged(usuallyatthetopofthecloud)andanothernegativelycharged(usuallyatthebottomofthecloud).Andcloudsform,ofcourse,whenvaporevaporates(蒸发)fromthesurfaceoftheEarthandthewaterdropsbondwithaerosols.Theresearchersfoundthatthingsareslightlydifferentovertheocean.Whenwaterevaporatesfromthesea,itbearsaloadofsalt.Whenthesaltwaterbondswithaerosolstoformwaterdroplets,theytendtobebiggerandheavierthanthosethatformoverlandduetothesalt—andthatresultsinmoreofthewaterinthecloudsfallingasrainbeforeitcanriseupandformicecrystals.Theresultisfarfewerlightningdischarges.Theresearcherssuggesttheirfindingscouldbeusefulinimprovingtheaccuracyofbothclimatemodelsandmeteorologicalreports.Itcouldalsopossiblyleadsometoattempttoseedstormcloudswithsalttoreducetheirseverity.5.Whatisthecommonbeliefoflightningoveroceans?A.Lightningpollutestheremotesea.

D.Amagazine.〖答案〗13.B14.D15.A16.D【语篇解读】本文为说明文。文章介绍了拥有行星命名权的官方机构——国际天文学联盟、该机构举办的第三届给星球命名的公众活动及活动规则。【13题详析】推理判断题。根据第一段中“Yeah,thoseareallfake—youcouldpaymeto“name”astarfor$50,andI’lltakeyourmoneyandshowthenameonline.I’llevensendyouafancycertificate!Itseemsthatyou’venamedastar,butitjustdoesn’tcount.”（是的，这些都是假的——你可以花50美元给我“命名”一个行星，我会拿着你的钱在网上展示这个名字。我甚至会给你寄一份精美的证书！看起来你已经命名了一颗行星，但这并不算数。）可知，为了让读者对骗子网站的操作一目了然，作者以自己可以随意给行星命名来举例引出本文的主要内容——介绍IAU组织及其给星球命名的活动。故选B项。【14题详析】细节理解题。根据第二段“Actually,theonlyorganizationthatownsofficialnamingrightsistheInternationalAstronomicalUnion,ortheIAU.Itwasfoundedin1919andbasedinParis,France.Itiswhereastronomersandotherprofessionalshavereachedtheagreementsandistheofficialrecord-keepingbodyforalldiscoveriesinspace.”（事实上，唯一拥有官方命名权的组织是国际天文学联合会，简称IAU。它成立于1919年，总部设在法国巴黎。它是天文学家和其他专业人士达成协议的地方，也是所有太空发现的官方记录保存机构。）可知，从文章中我们可以了解到关于IAU，它有权为星星命名。故选D项。【15题详析】主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Thecompetition,named“StarsWorlds”,isopennextThursday,January20th.It’sthethirdsuchcontesttheIAUhasheld,andthepurposeistogetthepublicmoreinterestedinscienceaswellastheorganization.ThecompetitionalsohelpstobreakcenturiesofEuropeandominancewhenitcomestonamingthingsinthenightsky.Sopeoplearoundtheworldcansharethejoyofdiscoveryandmaketheirmarkinhistory.”（这场名为“群星世界”的比赛将于1月20日（下周四开）幕。这是国际天文学联合会第三次举办这样的比赛，目的是让公众对科学和该组织更感兴趣。这项竞赛还有助于打破欧洲在夜空天体命名方面几个世纪以来的主导地位。这样世界各地的人们就可以分享发现的喜悦，并在历史上留下自己的印记。）可知，最后一段主要讲的是活动举办的目的。故选A项。【16题详析】推理判断题。根据文章大意以及最后一段中的“Thecompetition,named‘StarsWorlds’,isopennextThursday,January20th.”（这场名为“群星世界”的比赛将于1月20日（下周四）开幕。）可知，本文介绍了真正拥有行星命名权的组织机构，本文时效性较强，应该是从报刊杂志上节选出来的。故选D项。二、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共10分。Whiletherearenumeroustoolstohelpyoudetermineyourstrengths,trystartingwiththesequestions.Beashonest,clear,andobjectiveaspossible.Whatareyourtopthreequalitiesorstrengths?____17____.Tomakeiteasy,sendanemailto20ofyourclosestfriendsandfamilymembers.Tellthemyouneedtheirhelpinidentifyingyourthreetopqualitiesorstrengths.You’llquicklystartreceivingresponses.Startalistfromtheanswersyoureceive.____18____.Takethethreemostcommonanswersandusethemasyourguide.Whatdoyoudoeveryday?Mostpeopletendtospendtimeonthethingstheyliketodoratherthanthethingstheydon’tlike.____19____.Ifyoufindyourselfeasilymakingtimetoreadtoyourkidsbutavoidmakingdinner,thisbehaviorcouldbetellingyousomething.Peoplemovetowardthingsthey’renaturallygoodatdoing.____20____?Whatpeoplethinkyoudoandwhattheysayaboutyouaretwodifferentthings.Forexample,theymaythinkyou’recleaningalldaylongbutstillthinkyou’reaterriblehousekeeper.Soyouneedtoquestionpeopleaboutitandtellthemit’sokaytotellthetruthbecausethisisaboutyourpersonaldevelopment.Whatisonemistakeyoukeeprepeating?AlbertEinsteinisknowntohavedescribedinsanity(精神错乱)asdoingthesamethingoverandoverbutexpectingdifferentresults.Areyoucaughtintheinsanitytrap?Forme,itwasmakingbread.ForyearsItriedtogetmydough(面团)toriseintoanicecottonyloaf.____21____.Ihadadvicefromfriends,watchedvideosonlineandtrieddifferentrecipesalltonoavail.I’veacceptedthatIcan’tmakebreadandit’sokay.A.EverytimeIcreatedahardrockB.ThefirststepistoaskforadviceC.WhatdoyouliketotalkaboutD.WhatdootherpeoplesayaboutyouE.You’llfindalotofqualitiesarerepeatedF.Thetruthiswedon’thavetobegoodateverythingG.It’softenthestrugglebetweenthetwothatcausesproblems,nottheactivities〖答案〗17.B18.E19.G20.D21.A【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。作者介绍了几个可以帮助确定自己优势的方法。【17题详析】根据下文“Tomakeiteasy,sendanemailto20ofyourclosestfriendsandfamilymembers.Tellthemyouneedtheirhelpinidentifyingyourthreetopqualitiesorstrengths.You’llquicklystartreceivingresponses.(为了方便起见，给你最亲密的20位朋友和家人发一封电子邮件。告诉他们你需要他们的帮助来确定你的三大品质或优势。你会很快收到回复)”可知，要了解自己的长处，需要征求别人的意见。B项“第一步是征求意见”符合题意，下文是对选项的具体解释。故选B项。【18题详析】根据上文“Startalistfromtheanswersyoureceive.(从收到的〖答案〗开始列出一个列表)”及下文“Takethethreemostcommonanswersandusethemasyourguide.(选取三个最常见的〖答案〗，并将其作为你的指南)”可知，E项“你会发现很多品质都是重复的”起到了内容上的承上启下，表明具体操作的步骤是你需要先为〖答案〗列清单，然后从清单表里发现很多重复的品质后，再从这些重复的〖答案〗中选取三个作为你的行动指南。故选E项。【19题详析】根据上文“Whatdoyoudoeveryday?Mostpeopletendtospendtimeonthethingstheyliketodoratherthanthethingstheydon’tlike.(你每天都做什么？大多数人倾向于把时间花在他们喜欢做的事情上，而不是他们不喜欢的事情上)”可知，大多数人把时间花在喜欢做的事情而不是他们不喜欢的事情上，G项“造成问题的往往是两者之间的斗争，而不是活动”中的thetwo指的是上文提到的thethingstheyliketodo和thingstheydon’tlike，和上文构成内容上的承接。故选G项。【20题详析】下文“Whatpeoplethinkyoudoandwhattheysayaboutyouaretwodifferentthings.Forexample,theymaythinkyou’recleaningalldaylongbutstillthinkyou’reaterriblehousekeeper.(人们对你的看法和他们对你的评价是两回事。例如，他们可能认为你整天都在打扫卫生，但仍然认为你是一个糟糕的管家)”可知，本段主要强调别人对你的评价。D项“别人怎么评价你”符合题意，可以作为本段的主题句对本段内容进行概括。故选D项。【21题详析】根据上文“Forme,itwasmakingbread.ForyearsItriedtogetmydough(面团)toriseintoanicecottonyloaf.(对我来说，就是做面包。多年来，我一直试图让我的面团变成一个漂亮的棉花面包)”可知，作者不断重复的错误是做面包，A项“每次我创造一块坚硬的岩石”中的rock指代的是上文提到的bread，构成内容上的承接，指出作者经常重复犯的错误是把面包烤成石头一样硬。故选A项。三、完形填空：本大题共15小题，共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。It’snevereasybeingthenewkidinschool,especiallywhenyoulookalittlebitdifferentfromeveryoneelse.Asidefromtheusual___22___aboutnotknowinganyoneatHendersonHighSchoolinTennessee,15-year-oldSergioPeralt___23___thatpeoplewouldlaughathimforhis___24___.Sergio’srighthanddidn’tformfullyatbirth.“Inthefirstda
