答案解析部分【答案】1．A2．D3．C【解析】【分析】本文属于应用文阅读，介绍了几部即将上演的戏剧。【点评】这一篇应用文，考查准确识别掌握细节信息的能力。答题的关键在于通过题干中的关键词在文中定位，然后通过对句子及段落的理解，确定准确的信息。1．细节理解题。根据话剧AnimalsOutofPaper的ProductionsandtheGreatGriffonpresenttheplaybyRajivJoseph，inwhichanorigami（折纸术）artistinvitesateenagetalentandhisteacherintoherstudio可知，RajivJoseph创作的话剧是关于折纸的一种艺术。故答案为A。

2．细节理解题。根据话剧TheAudience的StephenDaldrydirects可知，本剧是StephenDaldry导演的。故答案为D。

3．细节理解题。根据话剧Hamilton的Li-Lin-ManuelMirandawrotethismusicalaboutAlexanderHamilton，inwhichthebirthofAmericaispresentedasanimmigrantstory可知，话剧Hamilton的主题是美国的诞生，由此可知，如果你对美国历史感兴趣，你可以看Hamilton。故答案为C。

【答案】4．C5．D6．A7．C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了在当前科技发达的社会，人们在没有经过音乐家允许的情况下在线分享音乐，这实际上属于盗版行为，损害了音乐制作者、创作者和销售者等相关人士的利益。作者认为应该拒绝盗版音乐。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇社会现象类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。4．考查词义猜测。根据第一段中的"Thiscanleadtomanyproblems"这可能导致许多问题；以及"Sharingmusiconlinewithoutpermissionistheft."未经允许在网上分享音乐就是盗窃。可知，人们未经音乐家的允许在网上分享音乐会导致许多问题，而这种做法本身就是盗窃，可推知，画线短语所在句"Thiscanleadtomanyproblems,andmusiccompaniesarenowcrackingdownonthispractice."的意思是：音乐公司现在正在严厉打击这种做法。画线短语crackdownon意为"严厉打击"。故选C。5．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"Whilehemayhavelegallypaidforthemusic,hedoesnothavetherighttoshareitwithoutpermission,whichmeanspeoplelikethebloggerarethieves."虽然他可能合法地为这些音乐付费，但他没有权利未经许可就分享这些音乐，这意味着像博主这样的人都是小偷。可知，即使他合法购买了该音乐，但是未经允许就将其分享的话，像他一样的人会被称为窃贼。故选D。6．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"Manypeoplebelievesharingmusiconlyaffectstherecordingartist,buttherealityisthatsharinghurtsbusinessforallcompaniesinvolved."许多人认为分享音乐只会影响唱片艺术家，但事实是，分享会损害所有相关公司的业务。可推知，未经允许就在线分享音乐会影响到很多人的利益。故选A。7．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"Sharingmusiconlinewithoutpermissionistheft."未经允许在网上分享音乐就是盗窃；以及最后一段中的"Therefore,ifpeoplewanttocontinuelisteningtotheirfavoriteartists,theyneedtobuytheirmusicsothatartistswillmakeenoughprofitstocontinuetheirmusiccareers."因此，如果人们想继续听他们喜欢的艺术家的音乐，他们需要购买他们的音乐，这样艺术家就会获得足够的利润来继续他们的音乐生涯。可推知，作者对盗版音乐持不赞同的态度。故选C。【答案】8．C9．A10．D11．C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了非营利组织ReefCheck及其职责，那就是保护珊瑚礁，并且作者呼吁人们一起来支持ReefCheck的工作并保护珊瑚礁。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇环保类阅读，通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。8．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"BasedinLosAngeles,ReefCheckhasvolunteerteamsinmorethan90countries,makingcommunityvolunteers,businesses,universities,andothernon-profitorganizationsworktogether."总部设在洛杉矶的ReefCheck在90多个国家都有志愿者团队，让社区志愿者、企业、大学和其他非营利组织一起工作。可知，ReefCheck是一个非盈利组织，其职责是保护珊瑚礁。故选C。9．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的"Forexample,imagineyouareapoorseaanimal,whosehomejustgotdestroyedorwasn'tclean.Whatwouldyoudo?Whatcouldyoudo?Nothingmuch,really.Butthat'sexactlyReefCheck'sjob!Tocleanandprotectthesehomesformanyseaanimals!"例如，想象你是一只可怜的海洋动物，你的家刚刚被破坏或不干净了。你会怎么做？你能做什么？没什么，真的。但这正是ReefCheck的工作！清洁和保护这些海洋动物的家园！可知，作者通过提问的方式引出了ReefCheck的职责。故选A。10．考查细节理解。根据第四段中的"Furthermore,in1997,ReefCheckcarriedoutthefirst-eversurveyofcoralreefhealththatprovidedscientificevidencethatourcoralreefswereindangerbecauseofoverfishing,illegalfishing,andpollution."此外，在1997年，ReefCheck进行了第一次珊瑚礁健康调查，提供了科学证据，证明我们的珊瑚礁由于过度捕捞、非法捕捞和污染而处于危险之中。可知，ReefCheck在上世纪九十年代的研究表明，珊瑚礁由于人类活动处于危险当中。故选D。11．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"Ibelievethatmyorganization,ReefCheck,isthemostworthyofreceivingtheChocolateHeartmoney.Doyouwanttoknowwhy?Well,soonyou'llfindout."我相信我的组织——ReefCheck——最值得接受巧克力心钱。你想知道为什么吗？很快你就会知道了。作者引出ReefCheck并且吸引大家了解ReefCheck；第二段中的"Firstofall,ReefCheckneedsthemoneytorepairandcleancoralreefs(珊瑚礁)whicharehometomillionsofseaanimals."首先，ReefCheck需要资金来修复和清洁珊瑚礁，这是数百万海洋动物的家园；以及最后一段"Inshort,everyoneshouldhaveahomeincludinganimalsfromthesea.Sodon'tleavethemout!Begenerousandgivethemahome!"总之，每个人都应该有一个家，包括来自海洋的动物。所以不要漏掉它们!慷慨点，给它们一个家吧！可知，作者呼吁大家支持ReefCheck的工作可推断，作者写这篇文章的目的是解释ReefCheck为什么需要支持。故选C。【答案】12．C13．A14．B15．D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一家名为"城市河流"的初创公司创造出的TrashBot，可以使用尖端技术清理垃圾。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇科技类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。12．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"ThisisTrashbot,thecreationofastartupcalledUrbanRivers,usingcutting-edgetechnologytocleanuptrashinthearea."这就是Trashbot，一家名为"城市河流"的初创公司的创造，使用尖端技术清理该地区的垃圾。可知，Trashbot是一台垃圾清理机。故选C。13．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"Atanypointintime,TrashbotmightbecontrolledbyoneoftheInternetusers."在任何时候，Trashbot都可能被某个互联网用户操作。可知，Trashbot可以由互联网用户操作。故选A。14．考查推理判断。根据第四段"TheideaforTrashbotstartedafewyearsagowhenUrbanRivers'projectthe‘floatinggardens'ontheChicagoRivergotcloggedup(被堵塞)withtrash.Tosolvethis,theystartedemployingold-fashionedhumanlitterpickerstocollecttrashfromtheriver.However,thisturnedouttobeineffective."Trashbot的想法开始于几年前，当时城市河流的项目芝加哥河上的"浮动花园"被垃圾堵塞。为了解决这个问题，他们开始使用守旧的方式雇佣人类拾取垃圾来收集河里的垃圾。然而，这被证明是无效的。可知，为了解决芝加哥河上的"浮动花园"被垃圾堵塞这一个问题，人们开始雇佣人类拾取垃圾，但是没有效果，所以人们开始创造Trashbot，所以在文章第四段可以找到创造Trashbot的原因。故选B。15．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"Lettingpeopletakecontrolofarobottocleanuptrashmakesforareallycoolexperience."让人们控制机器人清理垃圾是一种非常酷的体验。可知，尼克·卫斯理认为驾驶Trashbot会为用户提供一种特别的体验。故选D。16．【答案】G；E；F；B；A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，列举了早晨锻炼对人体的四条好处，号召人们早点起床，进行身体锻炼。

（1）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“itcanbehardtotryandfindthetimetoworkout.”生活忙碌没有时间锻炼；和空后“Workingoutinthemorningprovidesadditionalbenefitsbeyondbeingphysicallyfit.”晨练除了身体健康之外，还能带来其他好处。下文接着列举了晨练的其他好处。由此可知，此处缺一个承上启下句。G项中thenlistenup!“那么请仔细听!”很好的起到了承上启下的作用。故选G。

（2）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“Exercisingmakesyoumoreawake”锻炼能让你更清醒，E.Youcankeepyourheadclearfor4-10hoursafterexercise.“你可以在运动后保持头脑清醒4-10个小时。”是对上一句的进一步解释。故选E。

（3）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。空前“Yourmetabolism(新陈代谢)getsaheadstart.”是本段的主题句，晨练是新陈代谢的开始，再根据空后“Ifyouworkoutinthemornings,thenyouwillbegettingthecalorie(卡路里)burningbenefitsforthewholeday,notinyoursleep.”如果晨练，则你会得到卡路里一整天都在燃烧的益处，F.Afteryouexercise,youcontinuetoburncaloriesthroughouttheday.“锻炼之后，你一整天都在燃烧卡路里。”是空后句子的根据，空后句子是对F项的进一步延伸。故选F。

（4）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。此处缺一个主题句。根据空后“Studiesfoundthatpeoplewhowokeupearlyforexercisesleptbetterthanthosewhoexercisedintheevening.”研究表明早起锻炼的人比晚上锻炼的人睡得更好。B.Yourqualityofsleepimproves.“你的睡眠质量提高了。”是对后面内容的总述。故选B。

（5）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后“Ifyouworkoutbrightandearlyinthemorning,youwillbemorelikelytosticktohealthyfoodchoicesthroughouttheday.”如果你在早晨锻炼身体，你将更有可能坚持健康的食物选择。A.Youwillsticktoyourdiet.“你将坚持你的饮食。”符合本段内容，是主题句，起到统领下文的作用。故选A。

【点评】本题要求在理解细节信息的基础上，着重考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。【答案】17．B；18．C；19．A；20．D；21．C；22．D；23．B；24．D；25．C；26．A；27．C；28．D；29．B；30．A；31．C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者受家人的熏陶，对烹饪充满热情，他作为厨师的烹饪理念就是要保持食物的真实与简单。
