D.Stopusingbagscompletely.【答案】8.A9.C10.A11.B【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章以超市收银员常问的“要纸袋还是塑料袋？”这一问题引出话题，通过对比纸袋和塑料袋对环境的影响，指出纸袋并不比塑料袋更环保，同时提到爱尔兰通过征税减少塑料袋使用的例子，最后引发思考，即我们应该通过重复使用袋子等方式来保护环境，而不是简单地在纸袋和塑料袋之间做选择。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“TherewasatimewhenatriptothesupermarketintheUnitedStatesoftenendedwithaseeminglysimplequestionfromthecashier:‘Paperorplastic?’Well,whichtypeofbagwouldyouchoose?(曾几何时，去美国超市的旅程经常以收银员看似简单的问题结束：“纸还是塑料？”那么，你会选择哪种类型的包呢？)”可知这个问题在文章开头被提出，目的是引出关于纸袋和塑料袋对环境影响的话题。故选A项。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“Studiesshowthatpaperbagproductionrequiresfourtimesasmuchenergyasplasticbagproduction.Andtheamountofwaterusedtomakepaperbagsistwentytimeshigher.Besides,theinfluenceonforestsisveryserious.Ittakesaboutfourteenmilliontreestoproducetenbillionpaperbags,whichhappenstobethenumberofbagsusedintheUnitedStatesyearly.Intermsofrecycling,theideathatpaperbagsaremoreenvironmentallyfriendlythanplasticonescanbequicklydiscarded.Researchshowsitrequiresabout98%lessenergytorecycleplasticthanitdoestorecyclepaper.(研究表明，纸袋生产所需的能源是塑料袋生产的四倍。制作纸袋的水量要高出20倍。此外，对森林的影响非常严重。生产100亿个纸袋大约需要1400万棵树，这恰好是美国每年使用的袋子数量。在回收方面，纸袋比塑料袋更环保的想法可以很快被丢弃。研究表明，回收塑料所需的能源比回收纸张少98%左右。)”可知，通过对比纸袋和塑料袋的生产过程中所需的能源、用水量以及对森林的影响和回收所需的能量等方面，得出纸袋并不比塑料袋更环保的结论，故选C项。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中“InIreland,forexample,ataxhasbeenintroducedtodiscouragetheuseofplasticbags.Peoplehavetopay22centsforeveryplasticbag,andasaresult,theirusehasdroppedquickly.(例如，在爱尔兰，已经引入了一项税收来阻止使用塑料袋。人们必须为每个塑料袋支付22美分，因此，它们的使用量迅速下降。)”可知，在爱尔兰，人们对每个塑料袋要支付22美分，这相当于塑料袋不再免费提供，所以其使用量迅速下降。故选A项。【11题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“There’snodoubtthatitmakesmoresensetoreusethesebags.(毫无疑问，重复使用这些袋子更有意义。)”可知，作者可能会建议多次使用同一个袋子来减少对环境的影响。故选B项。DAnIsraelistudyhasindicatesplantsmakenoiseabitwhentheyarestressedfromalackofwaterorhavingtheirstems(茎)cut.Thesoundsareaboutthesamevolume(音量)asnormalhumanconversation.However,thepitch(音高)istoohighforpeopletohear.Theresearchersbelieveinsects,othermammalsandmaybeevenotherplantscanprobablyhearthesoundofthestressedplants.“Eveninaquietfield,thereareactuallysoundswedon’thear,andthosesoundscarryinformation,”saidLilachHadany,aprofessorfromTelAvivUniversity.“Someanimalscanhearthesesounds,sothereisapossibilitythatalotofinteractionisoccurring.”Theresearchersusedmicrophonestorecordhealthyandstressedtomatoplants,andtrainedamachinelearningalgorithm(算法)todistinguishbetweenunstressedplants,thirstyplantsandcutplants.Theyfoundthatstressedplantsgiveoutmoresoundsthanunstressedones.Thesoundsfromstressedplantswerelikepopsorclicks.Thestudy,publishedinthejournalCell,foundthirstyplantsbeganmakingnoisebeforetheyvisiblydehydrated,andthefrequencyofsoundsreachedthehighestafterfivedayswithnowater,beforedecreasingagainastheplantsdriedupcompletely.Hadanysaidhappyplantswerefoundtomakefarfewersounds.Whentomatoplantswerenotstressedatall,theywereveryquiet.Thestudyalsofoundsoundrecordingsofplantscouldbeusefulinagriculturetoensurecropsgetenoughwateranddistributewaterwhereitwasneededmost.However,it’sunclearwhyplantsproducethesesoundsandwhomightbelistening.ProfessorHadanysaid,“Wearecurrentlyinvestigatingtheresponsesofotherorganisms,bothanimalsandplants,tothesesounds,andwe’realsoexploringourabilitytoidentifyandinterpretthesoundsincompletelynaturalenvironments.”12.Inwhichofthefollowingsituationmightplantsmakesounds?A.whentheyareplayedmusic.

D.TheSoundsofPlantsinStressandBeyond【答案】12.B13.A14.B15.D【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了以色列的一项研究，表明植物在缺水或茎被切断等压力情况下会发出声音，并探讨了这些声音的潜在听众和意义。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段“AnIsraelistudyhasindicatesplantsmakenoiseabitwhentheyarestressedfromalackofwaterorhavingtheirstemscut.(一项以色列研究表明，植物在缺水或茎被切断等压力情况下会发出一些声音)”可知，当植物的茎被折断时，它们可能会发出声音。故选B。【13题详解】词句猜测题。根据文章第四段划线词后“andthefrequencyofsoundsreachedthehighestafterfivedayswithnowater,beforedecreasingagainastheplantsdriedupcompletely.(而且五天不给水后，声音的频率达到最高，然后随着植物完全干燥而再次下降)”可推知，口渴的植物在明显脱水之前就开始发出噪音，故划线词与A项driedout“变干，干涸”意义相近。故选A项。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However,it’sunclearwhyplantsproducethesesoundsandwhomightbelistening.(然而，目前尚不清楚植物为什么会发出这些声音以及谁会听到这些声音)”可知，Hadiany教授目前的研究重点是理解为什么植物会发出声音以及可能的听众。故选B。【15题详解】主旨大意题。结合全文及文章第一段“AnIsraelistudyhasindicatesplantsmakenoiseabitwhentheyarestressedfromalackofwaterorhavingtheirstemscut.(一项以色列研究表明，植物在缺水或茎被切断等压力情况下会发出一些声音)”可知，本文主要讨论了植物在压力下发出的声音及其潜在意义，故D项“压力下和摆脱压力的植物的声音”适合作为文章的标题。故选D项。第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。There’sanarttoarrangingpicturesonawall.___16___.Areyoutryingtobesurprisingwithyourpictureplacement?Areyoutryingtoarousecuriosityorattractpeople’sattentiontoaparticularartwork?Onceyou’veidentifiedthegoal,letthefollowinggeneralprinciplesguideyou.GettheheightrightConventionalwisdomsaysartshouldbehungateyelevel.But“eyelevel”meansdifferentthingstodifferentpeople.Soabasicruleistohangpiecessothattheircentersare56to60inchesabovethefloor.Andiftheartisgoingoverfurniture,aimtohangit8to10inchesfromthetopofthesofaorwhateverpieceisbeneathit.Whateverheightyouchoose,keepinmind:fromapsychologicalperspective,ifit’sascenefromnature,forexample,___17___.TakecarewhengroupingpiecesWhengroupingartpiecestocreateagallerywall,giveprioritytothethingthatismostspecial.___18___,ensuringthereisavisuallyequaldistancebetweenoneanother.Agoodruleistoaimfortwoinchesapartwithsmalleritems,andatmostsixinchesapartwithlargerworks.Inthiscase,itbringspeopleaharmoniousvisualeffect.___19___Whenarrangingartworkinagroup,lookforoneortwoelements(元素)thatrepeatbetweenthepieces,whetherit’sasimilarcolor,oraparticularstyleofframe(框架).Whentheyallsharethiscommoncharacteristic,thebrainsays,“Oh,thiswasmeanttobe,”—itbecomeseasiertoprocesswhatyou’relookingat.Createbalanceandsymmetry(对称)Researchshowsthathumansprefersymmetry.A2018studyfromtheUniversityofViennafoundthatbotharthistoryandpsychologystudentsattheuniversitylevelprefersymmetricalpatternswithartoverasymmetricalones;Inotherexperiments,researchersinRomefoundthatvisualsymmetryevenleadstopositivemoodchangesinviewers.MakeaproperarrangementBeforeyoucommittothearrangementyouhaveinmindbyhammering(捶打)holesintoawall,layoutwhatyouplanonthefloorinadvancetogetasenseofhowitwilllook.Considerthisarehearsal(彩排)foryourpersonalartshow.___20___.A.Locateaconsistentlink.B.Ensuretwoimportantrepeatedelements.C.Bemindfulofthespacebetweentheframes.Dit’smostrelaxingifitseemslikewecanstepintoit.E.Onceyou’vegotthecorrectlayout,hammerthenails.F.itshouldbehungashighaspossibletobemoredramatic.G.Thefirststepistothinkaboutwhatyou’retryingtoachieve.【答案】16.G17.D18.C19.A20.E【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文就如何把画挂在墙上提出几点建议。【16题详解】根据上句“There’sanarttoarrangingpicturesonawall.(把画挂在墙上是一门艺术。)”以及后句“Areyoutryingtobesurprisingwithyourpictureplacement?Areyoutryingtoarousecuriosityorattractpeople’sattentiontoaparticularartwork?(你是想用你的照片来给人惊喜吗？你是想引起人们对某件艺术品的好奇心还是想吸引人们的注意力？)”为把画挂在墙上的效果的具体介绍。可知，设空处承上启下，说明画挂在墙上需要思考想要达到的效果，G项：Thefirststepistothinkaboutwhatyou’retryingtoachieve(第一步是想想你想要达到什么目标)合乎题意，故选G。【17题详解】根据上句“Whateverheightyouchoose,keepinmind:fromapsychologicalperspective,ifit’sascenefromnature,forexample,(从心理学的角度来看，无论你选择什么高度，都要记住：例如，如果是大自然的场景)”可知，设空处为如果是大自然的场景，从心理学的角度来看应该达到的效果，D项：it’smostrelaxingifitseemslikewecanstepintoit(如果我们可以进入大自然的场景，那是最放松的)合乎题意。故选D。【18题详解】根据后句“ensuringthereisavisuallyequaldistancebetweenoneanother.(确保彼此之间的视觉距离相等。)”可知，确保彼此之间的视觉距离相等，需要注意框架之间的空间。C项：Bemindfulofthespacebetweentheframes(注意框架之间的空间)合乎题意。故选C。【19题详解】设空处概括本段内容，为本段小标题，设空处与上下段的首句句式保持一致，即应是祈使句。根据本段“Whenarrangingartworkinagroup,lookforoneortwoelements(元素)thatrepeatbetweenthepieces,whetherit’sasimilarcolor,oraparticularstyleofframe(框架)(在一组作品中安排艺术品时，寻找一两个在作品之间重复的元素，无论是相似的颜色，还是特定风格的框架)”可知，这样做的目的是确保一致性链接，A项：Locateaconsistentlink(确定一致性链接)概括本段，合乎题意。故选A。【20题详解】根据上文“Beforeyoucommittothearrangementyouhaveinmindbyhammering(捶打)holesintoawall,layoutwhatyouplanonthefloorinadvancetogetasenseofhowitwilllook.(在你打算在墙上打洞之前，先把你的计划放在地板上，了解一下它会是什么样子。)”可知，设空处承接上句，说明确定好后，下一步的做法，E项：Onceyou’vegotthecorrectlayout,hammerthenails(一旦你有了正确的布局，锤钉子)合乎题意。故选E。第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共15题;每小题1分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A，B，C，D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。WhenIwas8,myfamilymovedintoourbrand-newhome.Myparentshadadaptedittoourown___21___needsandinterests,includingbuilt-inbookshelvesto___22___theirhundredsofbooksandalarge,brightsunroomtoshelteralltheplantsmygarden-lovingfatherplannedtogrow.Unfortunately,afewmonthslater,aheartattack___23___hislife.Mymother,whoneverhad___24___filledoursunroomwithlow-lightplantslikeferns(蕨类植物),whichconsistentlydiedoff.Insteadofgiv
