参考答案

1.答案：D

解析：根据第一本书的介绍中的"itisaprettyinterestingbook...whetheryou'regoingto

playonyourownorchallengefriendsandfamilytoseewhocansolvethepuzzlefirst”可

知，这本书中的填字游戏可以自己玩，也可以和家人朋友一起玩。

2.答案：C

解析：理解具体信息题。根据题干可将解题信息定位至TheOrdnanceSurveyKids'

AdventureBook部分。根据该部分中的"Itteachesyouhowtoreadamaplikeanexpert...

withahostofmap-readingpuzzles"可知，通过第二本书孩子们可以学到一些使用地图的

能力，故C项正确。

3.答案：B

解析：根据第三本书介绍中的"drawaself-portrait（自画像）"、第四本书介绍中的

"recordwhatyouseethroughdrawljn^',这两本书都为读者提供了绘画的机会。

4.答案：B

解析：理解具体信息题。根据第一段中的"Forme,thedegreemostlyservedasameansto

anend,securingmoreinterestingandhigher-paidpositions"可知，对作者来说，攻读博士

学位是为了达到一个目的一找到更有趣、更高薪的职位，故选B项。

5.答案：A

解析：根据第二段中的"butovertimefeltfullofdisappointment...yetIstruggledtosee

howitwouldmakeanimpactonthewiderrealworld"可知，作者进行的纯学术研究在智

力上很有趣，但他很难看到它会如何对更广泛的现实世界产生影响。

6.答案：D

解析：理解词汇题。画线词下文提到作者于2020年开始项目，当时会议是线上的，并

且不鼓励面对面接触，所以作者很少有机会与同事建立个人联系。研究成为他唯一的

关注点，当他对此的兴趣消退时，他的项目令人感到沮丧。这是作者在项目上遇到的

困难。再结合上一段提到的作者对项目感到失望可知，画线词所在句应表示意料之外

的事加大了他的苦恼。画线词所在句总结了第三段的内容，下文是对Someunexpected

things”的解释说明。D项意为"增长，增加，增进，增强"，可解释画线词意思。

7.答案：C

解析：根据最后一段中的“ThingsIdidcouldmatterandenergizemeafterall一ifIchose

wisely.ThatwasexactlywhatIneededanddesired""mycharityexperiencehasgivenme

direction”可知,作者在慈善机构的工作帮他找到了生活的目标，即只要明智地选择，自

己所做的事就会很重要，并且能使自己充满活力。

8.答案：C

解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Lookcloselyatthethreeboats,andyoucansee

howthesegetlighterinthetone,whichisthewayaerialperspectiveworks.Thelighter

boatsappeartobefurtherawayfromusthanthedarkestone.（仔细观察这三艘船，你可

以看到它们是如何在色调上变浅的，这就是空间透视法的工作方式。浅色的船似乎比颜色

最深的船离我们更远。厂可知，三艘船的不同色调给这幅画增添了深度。故选C。

9.答案：B

解析：词句猜测题。句中的“Thelabel”指的是上文Leroy在评论莫奈画作时用到的

“Impresonists”一词，即给莫奈贴上了“印象派画家”的标签；stick本意为哪贴；固定住"，字

面意思就是这个标签固定了，在语境下，也就是说从那以后人们都用“印象派''这一名字了。

故选B。

10.答案：C

解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“LouisLeroy,anartcritic（评论家）,inhisreviewof

theexhibitionusedthetitleofMonet'spaintingastheheadline,callingitthe6Exhibition

ofImpressionists\Leroyhadmeantitironically（反讽地）astheterm'impression'was

usedtodescribearapidlyfinishedpaintingofanatmosphericeffect,andartists

rarely,ifever,exhibitedpicturessoquicklysketched.［艺术评论家LouisLeroy在评论展览时

用了莫奈的画作作为标题，称其为，印象派的展览，。Leroy的意思是带有讽刺意味的，因

为，印象，这个词是用来形容一幅快速完成的、营造氛围效果的画作，而艺术家们很少（如果

有的话）展出这样的速写画。「可知，Leroy是第一个使用“Impressionists”这个词的人。故选

Co

11.答案：A

解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段"Monetgetshisplaceinthearttimelinebecauseofhis

leadingroleintheimpresionistartmovement,andthroughthelastingappealofhis

artisticstyle.ThepaintinghetitledImpression:Sunrise,doneearlyinhiscareer,maynot

seemoneofMonetsbestpaintings,butthebigdealaboutitisthatitwasthepaintingthat

gaveimpressionismitsname.（由于他在印象派艺术运动中的领导作用，以及他的艺术风格

的持久吸引力，莫奈在艺术史上占有一席之地。莫奈早期创作的这幅名为《印象：日出》

的画作，似乎不是他最好的画作之一，但重要的是，正是这幅画让印象派得名。『以及纵观全

文可知，本文主要讲述了莫奈的名画《印象：日出》以及它对印象主义艺术流派的影响。故

选A

12.答案：A

解析：词义猜测题。根据划线词后的Umstypicallyoccurrightbeforemoredifficultor

low-frequencywords（Ums通常出现在更难或低频的单词之

前）以及下文例子"Couldyouhandmethe...um...^^Whatwouldyouassumetheywant?（"你

能把…..嗯.…递给我吗?”你认为他们想要什么?）可知，"嗯"（不流畅表达中的一种）一般

出现在比较难或不太经常使用的词汇前。由此可推测，不流畅表达在句子中出现的位

置不是随意的，而是有规律可循的。故random"随意的，任意的，随机的"可解释划

线词意思。A.Random任意的，随机的;B.Strategic有策略的;C.Obvious明显

的;D.Consistent相一致的。故选A。

13.答案：D

解析：细节理解题。文章第三段讲到这可能是因为听众认为，非母语人士可能很难想

出英语单词来表示一个常见的物体，比如一把刀，也很难想出不寻常的物体，而且无

法猜测他们的意图。可知，作者认为非母语者的不流畅之处很难预测到。故沏。

14.答案：B

解析：细节理解题。文章第四段讲到然而，随着时间的推移，他们获得了这种非典型

的不流畅分布的经验，听众开始表现出相反的预测行为:当听到演讲者说嗯时，他们倾

向于看简单的物体。可知，第四段中的实验显示的是听众可以相应地调整预测。故选

Bo

15.答案：D

解析：标题归纳题。本文介绍了听者不喜欢不流畅的表达。说话迟缓且话中有大量的

“嗯”和停顿的人通常被认为不那么有魅力。但科学研究发现不流畅传达的信息比人们

认为的要多。文章第一段但科学告诉我们，不流畅可能还有更多。以及最后一段讲到

这些发现进一步证明了人脑是一台预测机器:我们不断地试图预测接下来会发生什么。

可知，故D项，不流畅传达的信息比你认为的要多。可以作为本文标题。故选D。

16.答案：GCDAE

解析：①空格前说"Everyoneisfacedwithproblemsatsomepointortheother.（每个人都

会在某个时间点面临问题）”，空格后说“Theproblems,however,becomedifferentwhen

paststrategiesdonotworkandthereisnoobvioussolution.（然而当过去的策略不起作用、

没有明显的解决方案时，问题就会变得不同）”，因此空格处应说到人们可能会用过去

的一些方法去解决问题，G选项“Manyproblemscanbesolvedbyusingmethodswe

mighthaveusedbefore.（许多问题可以用矗们以前可能用过的方法案解决）”说明了人们

会用过去的一些方法去解决问题，因此G选项承上启下，符合语境，故选G。

②空处位于段末应承接上文。空格前说'Theycontinuethinkingeverythingwilldisappear

onitsown,sotheyfailtoseektimelyhelp.Thisdoesnothelpthesituationinanyway.（他们

继续认为一切都会自行消失，所以他们没有及时寻求帮助。这对形势没有任何帮

助）“，空格处将继续评论这种做法，C选项“instead,itcanmaketheproblembiggerthan

before.（相反，它会使问题变得比以前更大）“对这种做法继续进行评论，因此C选项承

接上文，符合语境。故选C

③空格前说“Keepingadailyjournalisthebestwaytosolvedeeperproblemsthatmaybe

affectingyourpeaceofmind.（每天写日记是解决可能影响你内心平静的深层次问题的最

好方法）“，空格后说“Sometimes,justbywritingdownissues,youmightgettoseethata

problemisn'tasbigasyouarethinking.（有时候，仅仅通过写下问题，你可能会发现问题

并不像你想的那么,‘

大）“，因此空格处也应讲‘‘写”方面的事情，D选项“Sowritedownalltheproblemsyou

arefacingrightnow.（所以写下你现在面临的所有问题）“讲的是写下问题，和空格前内

容相呼应因此D选项承上启下，符合语境，故选D。

④空格处是本段的主题句，由空格后的"Often,tosolveaproblem,youneedtotestyour

limits.Youmayhavetotakeoncertainchallengesincludinglearningsomethingnewto

improveyourself.（通常，为了解决一个问题，你需要测试你的极限。你可能需要接受一

些挑战，包括学习一些新的东西来提高自己）“可知，本段主要讲的是要挑战自己，A

选项“Challengeyourself挑战自己）”概括本段内容，可作为主题句，故选A。

⑤本段主题句是“Seekhelp.（寻求帮助）“，空格后说“Ifyouarestillunabletosolvethe

issuedespitegivingitmuchthoughtandattention,seekhelpfromfriends,colleagues,family

orevenprofessionals^如果你花了很多心思和精力还是无法解决问题，那就向朋友、自

事、家人甚至专业人士寻求帮助）”，因此空格处应说有的问题是靠自己解决不了的，E

选项“Sometimes,certainproblemscan'tbesolvedonyourown.（有时候:有些问题不能靠你

自己解决）”说明了有的问题不能自己解决，和空格前后内容相互呼应，因此E选项开

启下文，符合语境，故选E。

17.答案：B

解析：结合下文提到的Ferebee的蛋糕生意可知Ferebee忙于处理订单和更新网站。

occupy"使忙于（做某事）忙着（做某事）";bother"使（某人）烦恼（或担忧、不安），给（某人）造成

麻烦（或痛苦）"

18.答案：D

解析:根据第二段中的"sheaskedherparentsaboutsettingupabusiness""helpingher

handleallthelegalitiesforitsopening"可知,Ferebee经营着KaykeBakery□run”管理，经营

19.答案：C

解析：根据第二段中的Tmgladtobeabletodowhatllove"可知,Ferebee开始烘焙是出

于热爱。curiosity"好奇心":necessity"需要";passio彼情，酷爱，热衷的爱好（或活动

等小duty"责任"

20.答案：A

解析：根据下文中的"Butshemademorecakesthenextday"可知，前后存在转折关系，故

此处表示她的第一次尝试失败了(failed)。

21.答案：B
