【答案】21.A22.B23.C

【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了洛杉矶时报图书节的四个选择。

21.细节理解题。根据第二段“Ifyouenjoyourcommunitybookclub——TheL.A.TimesBookClub,youcancome

toNorrisTheatreforameetingwithnovelistandscreenwriterGabrielleZevinat1:45pm.（如果你喜欢我们的社区

读书俱乐部—洛杉矶时报读书俱乐部，你可以在下午1:45来诺里斯剧院和小说家兼编剧加布里埃尔・泽文

见面）”可知，如果人们下午1：30到达现场，最适合去的是NorrisTheatre。故选A。

22.细节理解题。根据第三段“MichaelConnellywasareporterworkinginFloridaandSouthernCaliforniawhen

hebeganwritingstoriesinspiredbyhisdailyjob.（迈克尔・康纳利是一名记者,在佛罗里达州和南加州工作，他

从日常工作中获得灵感，开始写故事）”可知，MichaelConneHy的小说取材于他的真实生活。故选B。

23.细节理解题。根据第二段"She'llbeonstagewithTimeseditorSamanthaMelbourneweaver（她将与《泰晤士

报》编辑萨曼莎•墨尔本韦弗同台）”，第三段的“He，11beinconversationtodaywithanotherwritinglegend:James

Ellroy.（今天他将与另一位传奇作家詹姆斯・埃尔罗伊进行对话广；第四段的“TodayLauraDavewillbein

conversationwithTimesTVcriticLorraineAli.（今天劳拉•戴夫将与时代电视评论家洛林・阿里进行对话）“和最

后一段的“KateDiCamilloandLoisLowrywillbetalkingabouttheircareersandmiddle-gradefiction（凯特•迪卡

米洛和洛伊丝.洛瑞将谈论她们的事业和中级小说），，可知，四个选择的共同之处在于都将有两个人在台上交

谈。故选C。

【答案】24.D25.D26.B27.A

【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过亲身经历告诉我们，学好一种乐器，练习固然重要，但是对音

乐的热爱才是最重要的。

24.推理判断题。根据第三段中"WhenIwasinprogrammingclasses,Icouldhavestudiednightlyfor5hourseach

night.Itwouldhavetakenmeyearstolearntheartofcomputerprogramming.ThoughI'mattractedbythe

systematiclogicofit,mytalentistowardsanotherthing.However,ontheotherhand,ifIspentanhourevery

程课的时候，我可以每晚学习5个小时。我可能要花好几年的时间才能学会计算机编程的艺术。虽然我被

它的系统逻辑所吸引，但我的天赋不在于此。然而，另一方面，如果我每隔几天花一个小时在像拉小提琴

这样充满激情的爱好上，不仅时间过得很快，我也会以更快的速度学习，因为内在的激情是进步的动力）”

可知，作者认为与学计算机编程课相比，学习让自己充满激情的小提琴的速度更快，效率更高，结合第三

段中“Ifyou'relearningtheguitarbecauseit'scool-obviouslythafsthemodern-daymindset,however,you

mightnotbeactuallylinkingyourtalentformusicalsatisfactionwithyourmostcreativeadvantagesyouhaveto

offer.（如果你学吉他是因为它很酷——显然这是现代人的心态，然而，你可能没有把你在音乐上的天赋和你

所能提供的最具创造性的优势联系起来）”可推知，在作者看来，学习一种乐器时，发自内心对音乐的热情和

喜爱才是最重要的，可以提高效率，发扬优势。故选D项。

25.推理判断题。根据第三段中"Ifyou9relearningtheguitarbecauseifscool—obviouslythafsthemodern-day

mindset,however,youmightnotbeactuallylinkingyourtalentformusicalsatisfactionwithyourmostcreative

advantagesyouhavetooffer.（如果你学吉他是因为它很酷---显然这是现代人的心态，然而，你可能没有把

你在音乐上的天赋和你所能提供的最具创造性的优势联系起来）”和最后一段中“Myenjoyablechallengehas

thencanwematchlearnerswithinstrumentsandtrulybeginafunandexcitingwalkdowntheroadofhappiness

andcontentment,wheremusic,ability,personalityandsoulallmeet.（我喜欢的挑战是在这次冒险中帮助他们，并

尽快找到他们的最佳能力。那时，也只有那时，我们才能为学习者配上乐器，真正开始一段充满乐趣和刺

激的快乐和满足之路，在那里，音乐、能力、个性和灵魂都满足了）”可推知，作者认为选择乐器不能追逐现

代潮流，要选择切合自己音乐天赋和创造力，能让自己能力、个性和灵魂都得益的乐器，即有助于培养学

习者的品质的乐器。故选D项。

26.推理判断题。根据最后一段中"It'sbeenmyexperiencethateverypersonhasacertainlevelofmusical

talent.Myenjoyablechallengehasbeentoassisttheminthisadventureandactuallylocatetheirbestabilitiesas

quicklyaspossible.（根据我的经验，每个人都有一定程度的音乐天赋。我喜欢的挑战是在这次冒险中帮助他

们，并尽快找到他们的最佳能力。）”可知，作者是一个音乐教师。故答案为B项。

27.推理判断题。通读全文可知，第二段中“Soinordertolearnamusicalinstrument,howmuchpracticetimeis

enoughandwhatkindofpracticeisrightforyou?（那么为了学习一种乐器，练习多少时间是足够的，什么样的

练习适合你呢?）”提出问题:学习一种乐器该练习多久或者什么样的练习才适合，但结合第三段中“WhenIwas

inprogrammingclasses,Icouldhavestudiednightlyfor5hourseachnight.Itwouldhavetakenmeyearstolearn

theartofcomputerprogramming.ThoughI'mattractedbythesystematiclogicofit,mytalentistowardsanother

而，另一方面，如果我每隔几天花一个小时在像拉小提琴这样充满激情的爱好上，不仅时间过得很快，我

也会以更快的速度学习，因为内在的激情是进步的动力）”和最后一段中“Oncethispieceofthemysterypuzzle

isinplace,I'veneverhadtoworkatmotivatingalearnertopractice.（一旦这一块神秘的拼图就位，我就不必再

努力激励学习者去练习了）”可知，作者认为学习让自己充满激情的小提琴的速度更快，效率更高，说明只要

找到自己真正喜欢的东西，就根本不需要去激励学习者练习，回答了“熟能否生巧?”的问题，即只有练习不

行，真正重要的是对音乐的热爱。故选A项。

【答案】28.D29.B30.C31.A

【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了一个经受住飓风考验的牧场——巴布科克牧场。

28.词句猜测题。根据前文“Itwasadeadlyhurricane,attackingmorethanfourmillionpeople,andcausingserious

floodingandatleast150deaths.（这是一场致命的飓风，袭击了400多万人，造成了严重的洪水，至少150人

死亡。厂可知，这场飓风造成了严重的破坏，由However可知，前后文是转折关系，因此推断画线句“during

thedisaster,therewasoneinnovativecommunitythatweatheredthestormwell:BabcockRanch,thebrainchildof

SydKitson.（在这场灾难中，有一个创新社区很好地weathered了风暴的考验：巴布科克牧场，它是西德・基特

森的创意产物。）''中的画线词与survived意思相近，说明这个社区幸存下来，没有受到破坏。故选D。

29.细节理解题。根据第二段的“Itshomesarebuilttogothroughsevereweatherwithoutlosingessentialservices

likeelectricity,water,ortheInternet.（他们建造的房屋可以经受恶劣天气，而不会失去电力、水或互联网等基

本服务。）”可知，它的设计保证了飓风中电力的可用性。故选B。

30.主旨大意题。根据第四段“HurricaneIanservedasatruetestforthecommunity.Whilethesurroundingregions

suffered,BabcockRanch'sminimumdamageandquickrecoveryshowcaseditseffectivedesignagainstnatural

disasters.Residentsevenopenedtheircommunitycenter,doublingasastormshelter,tothevictimsfromother

hard-hitcommunities^飓风伊恩对社区来说是一次真正的考验。当周边地区遭受损失时，巴布科克牧场的最

小损失和快速恢复显示了其抵御自然灾害的有效设计。居民们甚至向其他受灾严重的社区的受害者开放了

他们的社区中心，兼作风暴避难所。）”可知，本段讲述了巴布科克牧场经受住了这场飓风的考验，并帮助其

他社区，因此推断本段主要讲述巴布科克牧场对自然灾害的抵抗力。故选C。

31.推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Kitson'svisionfbrBabcockRanchisnotjustaboutcreatingasustainableand

resilient（适应f生强的）communitybutalsoaboutlearningandimproving.Hehopesthatthelessonslearnedfrom

BabcockRanchcanbeappliedtootherdevelopments,contributingtomoreclimate-resilientcommunitiesacross

和适应性强的社区，还包括学习和改进。他希望从巴布科克牧场学到的经验可以应用到其他发展中，为美

国各地更多的气候适应社区做出贡献。）”可知，基特森对巴布科克牧场的未来充满希望。故选A。
