【答案】24.A25.C26.A27.B

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者从小学时对自己的草书书法感到自豪，到意识到

现代趋势使草书变得不那么实用和容易理解的历程。尽管作者的朋友们很欣赏草书的美丽,

但看不懂他们手写的明信片，所以为了清晰起见，他决定改用印刷体。这一转变象征着一个

更广泛的社会转变,从手写交流向打字交流转变,显示了传统美感与实际易读性之间的斗争。

24.细节理解题。根据第一段中"TheteacherwasteachingusthePalmerPenmanshipMethod,

drillingintoustheimportanceofformingbigflowinglineswhenwewroteg'sands'saswellas

beautifulf'sthatinmymindwerelikefairytaleprincesseswearingfancyhatswhileextending

theirrightfoot.”（老师正在教我们帕尔默书法法，在我们写g和s以及美丽的f时，向我们

灌输形成大而流畅的线条的重要性，在我的脑海中，f就像童话故事中的公主戴着华丽的帽

子，同时伸出右脚）可知，帕尔默书法它的特点是线条大而流畅。故选A项。

25.细节理解题。根据第三段中"Butrecentlysomethinghappenedthatshookmyfaithin

cursive.Tomycompletedisbelief,notonebuttwoofmyclosefriendscomplainedaboutthe

handwritingonmypostcards.TheyweregratefulforthebeautifulpostcardsIregularlysent,but

theysaidtheyhonestlycouldn'treadathingIhadwritten."（但最近发生的一件事动摇了我对草

8

书的信心。让我完全难以置信的是，我的两个好朋友竟然抱怨我明信片上的字迹。他们很感

激我定期寄给他们的漂亮明信片，但他们说他们真的看不懂我写的东西）可知，作者朋友们

无法理解他的明信片削弱了作者对草书的信念。故选c项。

26.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Lookingatthepostcarddispassionately,Iunwillinglyadmit

thathehasapoint.Allthem'sandn'sruntogether,andtheVslooklikeVs.Thea'sare

indistinguishablefromtheq's.So,fromnowon,Pmtakingtheiradviceandusingblocklettersto

communicate."（冷静地看着明信片，我不情愿地承认他说得有道理。所有的m和n连在一

起，1看起来像1。a和q是无法区分的。所以，从现在开始，我接受他们的建议，用大写字

母交流）可知，作者改用大写字母来交流是为了清楚地传达他的信息。故选A项。

27.主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第二段“Nowitbecomesapparentthatyoungpeopleno

longerlearncursive.Theytypeeverything,mostlyontheirphones.Beautifulhandwritingisa

thingofthepast.Thishasbecomeasourceofgreatsadnessamongtraditionalists.（现在彳艮明显，

年轻人不再学草书了。他们用手机打字。漂亮的书法是过去的事了。这已经成为传统主义者

巨大悲伤的来源）可知，文章主要讲的是草书可悲的衰落。故选B项。

【答案】28.B29.A30.D31.C

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Chick-fil-A首家店面关闭的背后原因，表明了这

一事件象征着零售和消费习惯变革的趋势。文章通过对Chick-fil-A及其他知名品牌如星巴

克、麦当劳等首家店铺的命运进行对比，探讨了企业发展中的起点、成长与变迁之间的关系，

提出了对企业及商业领导者的启示。

28.细节理解题。根据第二段中“ThereasonbehindtheclosureofChick-fil-A'soriginallocation

issymbolicofthechangessweepingthroughretail（零售）andconsumerhabits.Reportsindicate

thatthedeclineinfoottrafficatGreenbriarMall,attributedtothelossofcustomers,hasmadeit

challengingtosustaintherestaurant.（关闭Chick-fil-A原址背后的原因象征着零售和消费者习

惯的变化。报告显示，由于顾客的流失，格林布赖尔购物中心的客流量下降，这使得餐厅难

以维持下去）”可知，Chick-fil-A第一家店的关闭意味着食品行业的变化。故选B项。

29.推理判断题。根据第六段中"Interestingly,Chick-fil-Aisnotaloneinthisjourney.Otherbig

brandslikeStarbucks,Dunkin（formerlyDunkinDonuts）,McDonald's,andKFChavealso

followedsimilarpaths.Whilesomeoftheiroriginallocationshavebecomemuseumsor

maintainedashistoricsites,othershaveadaptedorclosedinresponsetochangingtimesand

consumerneeds.（有趣的是，在这一过程中，Chick-fil-A并不孤单。星巴克、唐恩都乐（Dunkin

Donuts）.麦当劳和肯德基等其他大品牌也走上了类似的道路。虽然它们的一些原址已经成

为博物馆或作为历史遗址保存下来，但其他一些已经适应或关闭，以响应不断变化的时代和

消费者的需求）”可推知，文中提到了其他大品牌是为了证明零售和消费习惯的变革是一种普

10

遍的现象。故选A项。

30.推理判断题。根据第四段中“TheclosureofChick-il-A'sfirstlocationisnotjustabouttheend

ofaphysicalspace.Itrepresentsthedevelopmentofabrandandthebittersweetrealityofgrowth

andchange.（Chick-il-A第一家店的关闭不仅仅是一个实体空间的终结。它代表了一个品牌的

发展，以及成长和变化的喜乐参半的现实）''可推知，作者认为Chick-il-A第一家店的关闭是

一件喜乐参半的事情。故选D项。

31.推理判断题。根据最后一段中"It'sareminderoftheimportanceofrememberingand

honoringone'soriginswhilesupportinggrowthandchange.（它提醒我们，在支持成长和改变的

同时，记住和尊重自己的起源是很重要的。）”可推知，作者认为我们不能忘记一个品牌的原

址的历史意义。故选C项。
