differentweatherenvironments,helpingtoreduceoverallboiltime.（StarX2还采用了热交换技

术，该公司表示，该技术在不同的天气环境下提供了卓越的抗风能力，有助于缩短整体煮沸

时间。）”可知，如果你想快速用餐，火枫之星X2烹饪系统这种炉子最适合你。故选D项。

22.细节理解题。根据SotoWindmaster4Flex部分中“Backpackersloveitsconvenientbuilt-in

igniter（点火器）,powerfulheatoutput,andfour-pronged（四管的）potstabilizer,whichprovidesa

morestableplatformforcookingthanthree-prongedstoves.（背包客喜欢它方便的内置点火器，

强大的热量输出，以及四叉锅稳定器，它提供了一个比三叉炉更稳定的烹饪平台。）”和Soto

integratedpotstabilizers,whichcreateastablebaseforcookinginthewilderness.（多名亚马逊评

论者称赞这款背包式炉灶安装方便，还有四个集成的锅稳定器，为野外烹饪创造了一个稳定

6

【答案】24.D25.B26.D27.D

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位心地善良且不图名利的老人默默地捐钱，为

有需要的人支付医药费的故事。

24.推理判断题。根据文章第二段"Doyouevermeetanybodywhocan'tpayfortheirmedicine?

（你见过付不起医药费的人吗？）"和"Well,yeah,unfortunately,thathappensagoodbit（是啊，

不幸的是，这种事经常发生）”可知，有很多人付不起医药费。故选D。

25.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“SoChildressdonated$100tothelocalpharmacyforanyone

whocouldn'taffordtopayformedicineandsaidtoWalker,"Nexttimethathappens,youcanuse

this.Don'ttellthemwhereitcamefrom,anddon】tellmewhoneededit."（因止匕，柴尔德里斯向

当地的药房捐赠了100美元，帮助那些买不起药的人，并对沃克说：“下次遇到这种情况，

你可以用这个。”不要告诉他们钱是从哪里来的，也不要告诉我是谁需要它J）”可知,Childress

捐钱为生活困难的人付医药费，他是一个慷慨大方的人，而他做好事不留名的做法也表明他

是一个高尚的人。故选B。

26.推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段"It'sreallyhardforustodecidewhethertoallowthis

storyouttothepublic（我们真的很难决定是否让这个故事公布于众）”可推知，对于是否将父

亲的善行义举公之于众，Nix曾经犹豫不决。故选D。

27.推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Ifeellikeasmalldeed（行为）canturnintoabigdeed

（我觉得一件小事可以变成一件大事）”和最后一段的“sincethestorywasfirstpublishedbythe

WashingtonPost,thepharmacyhasreceiveddonationsfromalloverthecountry.（自从《华盛顿邮

报》首次发表这篇报道以来，这家药店收到了来自全国各地的捐款。户可推知，一件好事会

带来另一件好事。故选D。

【答案】28.B29.D30.B31.C

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍两个心理学概念“邓宁-克鲁格效应”和“智性谦逊”

来说明为什么我们应该了解自身能力的局限性。

28.细节理解题。根据第一段的"Humanscanbepoorjudgesoftheirownability.So,youmight

notbeasgood,orasbad,asyouthinkyouare.Psychologistshavefoundthelessexpertiseyou

haveinsomething,themorelikelyyouaretooverestimateyourcompetenceinit.（人类对自己的

能力判断得很差。所以，你可能没有自己想象的那么好，也可能没有自己想象的那么坏。心

理学家发现，你在某方面的专业知识越少，你就越有可能高估自己的能力。）”可知，文章开

头描述了那些缺乏专业知识的人更有可能高估自己。故选B。

29.细节理解题。根据第二段的“ThisconceptiscalledtheDunning-Krugereffect,namedafter

thepsychologistsDavidDunningandJustinKruger.Backinthe90s,theyfoundacorrelation

betweenaperson'slackofskillsandabilityandalackofawarenessoflackofability.（这个概念

被称为邓宁-克鲁格效应，以心理学家大卫・邓宁和贾斯汀・克鲁格的名字命名。早在上世纪

90年代，他们就发现了一个人缺乏技能和能力与缺乏能力意识之间的相关性。）”可知，

DavidDunning和JustinKruger发现一个人的能力和他对自我能力的认识之间是有关系

的。故选D。

30.细节理解题。根据第三段的“Ontheothersideisintellectualhumility.Thismeanshavinga

modestorlowviewofyourimportanceorabilities.（另一方面是智性谦逊。这意味着对自己的重

要性或能力持谦虚或轻视的态度。）”可知，智性谦逊意味着对自我能力保持谦逊。故选B。

31.推理判断题。根据第四段“Howcanweusethisknowledgetohelpusineverydaylife?

TenellePorter,apsychologistatRowanUniversity,toldtheBBCthatknowingthis“opensusup

tobeingintellectuallyhumble,toadmittingeverythingthatwedon'tyetknow^^.Andcurrent

studiessuggestthatthosewithhigherintellectualhumilityaremoreopentonegotiating,

compromisingandexploringinformation.（我们如何利用这些知识在日常生活中帮助我们呢？

英国罗文大学的心理学家TenellePorter告诉BBC,知道这一点“让我们在智力上变得谦逊,

承认我们还不知道的一切”。目前的研究表明，智性谦逊程度较高的人更愿意谈判、妥协和

探索信息。）和最后一段的“So,embracetheunknownandremember:there?salwaysmore

tolearn.（所以，拥抱未知，记住：永远有更多的东西需要学习。）”可知，Tenelle可能同意我

们应该承认我们的局限性。故选C。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了塔夫茨大学的科学家们研发出了一种可以自我移动

的人体细胞群体——“anthrobots”，并希望这些细胞群体有朝一日能用于治疗疾病或帮助人

体愈合。

32.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“ScientistsfromTuftsUniversityhavedevelopedtinygroups

ofhumancellsthatcanmoveontheirown-andinalabexperiment,theseso-called“anthrobots”

inspiredsheetsofhumanneuronstorepairthemselveswhendamaged.^^（塔夫茨大学的科学家们

研发出了一种可以自我移动的人体细胞群体——anthrobots,在实验室实验中，这些所谓的

patients-insteadofembryoniccells,"（与xenobots不同，anthrobots不需要工具来塑造它们的

形状，我们可以使用成人细胞——甚至是老年患者的细胞——而不是胚胎细胞）可知，文章

通过比较anthrobots和xenobots的不同，突出了anthrobots的优点。故选C。

33.主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“Theselungcellsarecoveredincilia.Butatthispointinthe
