humiliation(就我的年龄而言，我身材矮小，更像是一个书呆子，而不是一个运动爱好者，我遭受了这种特殊的humiliation)”和“ofbeingpickedlastforvariousgymteams.(各种体操队的最后一名)”可知，作者曾遭受过一种特别的羞辱，在各种体育运动队中，作者都是最后一个被选中的。所以humiliation的意思为“耻辱”。故选B。【5题】细节理解题。根据第一段中“IntheSoftballThrowevent,Igotmyfirsttasteofsportingvictory.Creditgoestotheexampleofmyfirstcoach,myfather.Heliftedweightseverymorningathome.Heboughtusallbaseballglovesandhats,andinthewarmmonths,wespenthoursplayingcatch.Whenfallcame,ourbackyardfootballgamesbeganwithpassingpractice.(在垒球比赛中，我第一次尝到了体育胜利的滋味。这要归功于我的第一个教练，我的父亲。他每天早上在家举重。他给我们每个人都买了棒球手套和帽子，在温暖的月份里，我们花几个小时玩接球游戏。秋天来临时，我们的后院足球比赛开始于传球练习。)”可知，作者把她在垒球比赛中的胜利归功于她父亲的指导和培训。故选C。【6题】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“So,though,itshockssomeofourfriends,thatearlyfoundationdevelopedinadulthoodintoasportsandhealthfocus,considerednecessaryevenonvacation.(因此，尽管这让我们的一些朋友感到震惊，但早期的基础在成年后发展成为运动和健康的重点，甚至在度假时也被认为是必要的。)”可知，作者成年后保持了对运动的热爱。故选A。【7题】推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段中“So,though,itshockssomeofourfriends,thatearlyfoundationdevelopedinadulthoodintoasportsandhealthfocus,considerednecessaryevenonvacation.(因此，尽管这让我们的一些朋友感到震惊，但早期的基础在成年后发展成为运动和健康的重点，甚至在度假时也被认为是必要的。)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是表达她对运动和健身的热情。故选A。【答案】8.B9.D10.B11.A【8题】推理判断题。第一段中作者讲述了一位采访者告诉作者，他深受开放性办公室噪音的干扰，以至于不得不在街对面的联合办公空间办了会员。这让作者感到不解。毕竟，联合办公空间通常也采用开放式办公布局。下文作者用他最近看到的一项研究解释说明了其原因。由此推知，作者在文章的开头提到他的采访是为了引出本文的话题。故选B项。【9题】主旨大意题。根据第二段“Theresearchexaminedvariouslevelsofnoiseonparticipants(参与者)astheycompletedtestsofcreativethinking.Theywererandomlydividedintofourgroupswithvariouslevelsofnoiseinthebackground,fromtotalsilenceto50decibels(分贝),70decibels,and85decibels.(研究人员在参与者完成创造性思维测试时，对他们进行了不同程度的噪音测试。他们被随机分为四组，放在不同的背景噪音水平下。噪音水平从完全安静到50分贝、70分贝和85分贝)”可知，第二段主要介绍了研究的方法。故选D项。【10题】细节理解题。根据第三段“however,theparticipantsinthe70decibelsgroup—wheretherewasalevelofnoisesimilartobackgroundchattinginacoffeeshop—performedbetterthantheothergroups.(然而，70分贝组的参与者表现得比其他组更好，他们的噪音水平类似于咖啡店里的聊天背景声)”和第四段“Thestudyalsosuggeststhattherightlevelofbackgroundnoise—nottooloudandnottotalsilence—mayactuallyimproveone’screativethinkingability.(该研究还表明，适当程度的背景噪音——不要太吵，也不要完全沉默——实际上可能提高一个人的创造性思维能力)”可知，70分贝的那组参与者表现好于其他组，所以70分贝的噪音背景环境更有可能促进创造性思维能力。故选B项。【11题】细节理解题。根据第五段中“Sowhydosomanyofushateouropenoffices?Theproblemmaybethat,inouroffices,wecan’tstopourselvesfromgettingdrawnintoothers’conversationswhilewe’retryingtofocus.(那么，为什么这么多人讨厌开放式办公室呢？问题可能在于，在办公室里，当我们试图集中注意力时，我们无法阻止自己被卷入别人的谈话中)”可知，不断的被打扰让很多人不喜欢开放式办公室。故选A项。【答案】12.D13.A14.B15.C【12题】推理判断题。根据第二段中的““Ifourhomesareoverheatedandthefirstsolutionthatweruntoisairconditioners,thatisgoingtodryupourenergysystems,”saidMiranda,aresearcherfromOxfordUniversity.(牛津大学的研究人员Miranda说：“如果我们的房子过热，我们首先想到的解决办法就是空调，这将使我们的能源系统枯竭。”)”可知，Miranda认为安装空调来解决房子过热的方法会是的我们的能源系统枯竭，由此可知，Miranda对安装空调持反对的态度。故选D项。【13题】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“However,althoughwindcatcherscouldbeeasytofittonewhomes,equippingthemislikelytobeexpensive.(然而，尽管风收集器可以很容易地安装到新家庭中，但装备它们可能很昂贵。)”可知，风收集器很容易安装到新家庭中，但是安装他们可能很昂贵，由此可知，风收集器的缺点是太昂贵。故选A项。【14题】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的““Mostheatinahomecomesfromtwosources;first,peopleandequipmenttheyuse,andsecond,solarheatgainthroughwindows.”SaysBertie.“Hotoutsideairisactuallyaverysmallsource.”(“家里的大部分热量来自两个来源;首先是人和他们使用的设备，其次是通过窗户获得的太阳热量。”Bertie说。“外部热空气实际上是一个很小的来源。”)”可知，家里的部分热量来自于人和他们使用的设备以及窗户获取的太阳热量，由此可知，家中大部分的热量来自于人们的活动。故选B项。【15题】主旨大意题。根据首段“AstheextremeheatwavesnowaffectingpartsofEurope,AsiaandtheUSmakeclear,homesinanyareaofthewouldbadlyneedtobechangedtohelpdealwithahotterclimate.(极端热浪正在影响欧洲、亚洲和美国的部分地区，这清楚地表明，全球任何地区的房屋都迫切需要进行改造，以帮助应对更热的气候。)”可知，极端热浪影响着很多地区，提出需要改进房屋以帮助应对更热的气候，结合第二段中的“Thequickest,simplestsolutionistoequip(安装)airconditioning.(最快、最简单的解决办法是安装空调。)”、第三段中的“Agreenersolutionwouldbetodevelop“passivecooling”technologies,whichdon’trequirelargeenergyinputs.(更环保的解决方案是开发“被动冷却”技术，这种技术不需要大量的能源投入。)”和第四段中的“Furtherresearchshowedthatopeningwindowsatnightandpullingdownshadesduringthedaycanlowerindoorairtemperaturesby14Cduringaheatwave.(进一步的研究表明，在热浪来袭时，晚上打开窗户，白天拉下窗帘可以使室内气温降低14摄氏度。)”以及尾段中的“Blockingsunlightfromenteringthehomeisthereforeaneffectivewaytokeeptemperaturesundercontrol.(因此，阻挡阳光进入室内是控制温度的有效方法。)”可知，本文分别介绍了通过安装空调、发展更环保的“被动冷却”技术、晚上开窗的方式和阻挡阳光进入室内来控制温度的方法，由此可知，本文主要介绍的是空时室内温度的方法，所以题目“如何让家里保持凉爽”与本文的主题一致，可以作为最佳标题。故选C项。【答案】16.D17.A18.E19.B20.F【16题】由下文“Ifyes,itmightbeasignthatyou’readdictedtoyourfitnesstracker.(如果是，这可能表明你对健身追踪器上瘾了)”可判断，空处为一般疑问句，且和对健身追踪器上瘾相关可知，D选项“然而，你是否发现
