D.MountRainierNationalPark.【答案】21.A22.C23.B【解析】【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了美国四个最受欢迎的国家公园。【21题详解】细节理解题。根据JoshuaTreeNationalPark部分的“Namedforthetreesnativetothepark,1,200-square-mileJoshuaTreeNationalParkinCaliforniaisslightlylargerthanthestateofRhodeIsland.Muchoftheparkiswildernessandincludespartsoftwodeserts,thehigherMojaveDesertandthelowerColoradoDesert.(加利福尼亚州的JoshuaTree国家公园占地1200平方英里，以公园内的树木命名，略大于罗德岛州。公园的大部分是荒野，包括两个沙漠的一部分，较高的莫哈韦沙漠和较低的科罗拉多沙漠)”可知，JoshuaTree国家公园位于美国加州。故选A。【22题详解】细节理解题。根据BryceCanyon(峡谷)NationalPark部分“Instead,itisacollectionofgiantnaturalrocksupto150feethigh.Thered,orangeandwhitecolorsoftherocksmakeforbreathtakingviewsthroughoutthepark.(相反，它是高达150英尺的巨型天然岩石的集合。岩石的红色、橙色和白色使整个公园的景色令人叹为观止)”可知，BryceCanyon国家公园以独特的岩石而闻名。故选C。【23题详解】细节理解题。根据GrandTetonNationalPark部分“ThisparkisconnectedtoYellowstoneNationalParkbytheJohnD.RockefellerJr.MemorialParkway,soit’sincrediblyeasytovisitbothparksinonetrip.(这个公园通过约翰·D·洛克菲勒纪念风景道与黄石国家公园相连，因此在一个行程中同时游览这两个公园非常方便)”可知，GrandTeton国家公园离黄石国家公园最近。故选B。BFinnishLapland,inthefarnorthofEurope,ishometosome180,000peopleandaround200,000reindeer(驯鹿).Theanimalslivewildbuteachonehasanowner,identifiedbyamarkonitsear.AnneOllila,50,oneof4,000suchowners,worksintheFinnishpartofthisregionwithherhusbandandtwoadultsonsandtheirfamilies.Theyfarmtheanimalsmainlyformeat,butreindeertourismhasalsobecomeanimportantsourceofincome.Ollilalives80kilometresinsidetheArcticCircle,anhourfromLapland’scapitalcity,Rovaniemi,andsevenkilometresfromhernearestneighbour.Summerdays—whenthereindeerraisersearmarknewbornreindeer—arelongandinJunethesunneversets.AtthattimeOllilasleepsduringthedayandwalksupto20kilometresanightthroughtheforest,makingthemostofthecoolertemperaturestodoherworkbuthavingtoendurelargegroupsofinsectsalongtheway.Indeepestwinter,thereislittledaylight.Manygrasslandsarefrozenandthereindeermoveintotheforestforprotectionagainstwolvesandgoldeneagles—thebirdscankillanadultreindeer.OllilaandherfamilyoffertouristsreindeerexperiencesthroughtheircompanyReindeerJourney.Visitorscangetclosetotheanimalsinthewildorattheirfarm,watchingthembeingtrainedtopullsledges(雪橇)ortakeasleighride.“Reindeerareverysmartanimals,”Ollilasays.“Theyhavedifferentpersonalities,andsomeareveryfunny.”OneofherfavouritesisRocky,namedafterthemovieboxinglegend.“He’sverycuriousandalwaysintrouble,”shesays.“Heoncegothimselfstuckintreebranchesandhadtobeliftedout,andhehasbeenknowntowalkoffwithhisowners’dryingunderwear.”OllilagaveupherjobasasociologyresearcherattheUniversityofLaplandin2010todevoteherselftoraisingreindeer.“Ilovetheenvironment,theanimalsandthefreedom,”shesays.“Also,Ihaveasenseofbelongingtosomethingbiggerthanme,toawayoflifethroughthegenerations.”24.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“endure”inparagraph2mean?A.Goawaywith.

D.Ahistorybook.【答案】28.A29.C30.A31.B【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是龙卷风以及如何应对龙卷风。【28题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“Forexample,atornadothatonlydamagestreesbutdoesn’tsignificantlydamagebuildingswouldberatedEF0withwindspeedsbetween65and85mph.Atornadothatblowsawaybuildingsandtearsupsidewalks,ontheotherhand,wouldberatedEF5withwindspeedsover200mph.(例如，一场只破坏树木但不会严重破坏建筑物的龙卷风将被评为EF0，风速在65至85英里/小时之间。另一方面，吹走建筑物并撕裂人行道的龙卷风将被评为EF5级，风速超过200英里/小时。)”可知，既然EF0级龙卷风风速在65至85英里/小时之间，EF5级龙卷风风速超过200英里/小时，那么EF4级别的龙卷风风速可能是200mph左右，其他选项都不正确。故选A项。【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Ithadwindspeedsover310mph,thehighestwindspeedeverrecordedonEarth.Atornadowithwindspeedsthathighcannotonlypickupandthrowautomobiles,butalsoknockovertrainsandtearuproadways.(它的风速超过每小时310英里，是地球上有记录以来的最高风速。风速如此之高的龙卷风不仅可以卷起并抛起汽车，还可以撞倒火车，撕毁道路。)”可知，本段的例子告诉我们：龙卷风的危害很大。故选C项。【30题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Ifyoufindyourselfexperiencingatornado,findasafeplaceinside,likeaninteriorhall,basementorcloset.Stayawayfromwindowsandheavyobjectsthatcouldfallonyou,andlieonyourstomachwithyourhandsprotectingthebackofyourhead.Havingatornadoemergencyplanisextremelyimportantastornadoescanappearveryquickly.Makesuretolistentotheradioortelevisiontostayupdatedonseriousweatherpatternsinyourarea.(如果你发现自己正在经历龙卷风，在室内找一个安全的地方，比如室内大厅、地下室或壁橱。远离窗户和可能砸到你的重物，趴着用手保护后脑勺。有一个龙卷风应急计划是非常重要的，因为龙卷风会很快出现。一定要收听广播或电视，及时了解你所在地区恶劣天气的最新情况。)”可知，本段主要介绍了龙卷风来时我们应该做什么。故选A项。【31题详解】推理判断题。通读全文以及根据第一段“Allofthesetornadoeshaveonethingincommon:Theycanhavewindspeedsover300milesperhour(mph),growoveramilewide,andtravelover50miles.Theyareincrediblydangerousandshouldbeavoidedatallcosts.(所有这些龙卷风都有一个共同点:它们的风速可以超过每小时300英里，生长宽度超过一英里，行进距离超过50英里。它们非常危险，应该不惜一切代价避免。)”可知，文章主要介绍了什么是龙卷风以及如何应对龙卷风。所以本文可能来自于一份科学报告。故选B项。DWhenAdelereleased(发行)her2011singleSomeoneLikeYou,thisbittersweetsongispopularwithmillionsworldwide.Morethanadecadelater,itremainsoneofhermostpopularsongs.Herartistry,aswellasthatofmanyotherswhohavemasteredtheartofmakinglistenersfeelmovedwithslowandemotionalbeats,hasawayofmanagingtheemotionalpainofheartbreakandloss.Listeningtofavoritesongscouldalsoreducepeople’sfeelingsofpain,accordingtoanewstudypublishedinthejournalFrontiersinPainResearch.Andthemosteffectivepainrelieverswerefoundtobesadsongsdetailingbittersweetandemotionalexperiences.“Itdoesn’ttaketheplaceofmedicinewhenyouhaveaheadache,butmusiccanhelpreduceyourpain,”saidPatrickStroman,aprofessoratQueen’sUniversityinKingston,Ontario.Hedidn’tjoininthestudy.“Unlikeothermedications,”henoted,“thereisnosideeffectorriskinlisteningtomusic(justkeepthevolumeatareasonablelevel).”Thesmallstudyinvited63youngadultstobringoneoftheirfavoritesongs.Theresearchersalsohadtheyoungadultspickoneofsevensongsthattheteamconsideredrelaxingandwereunfamiliartothestudyparticipants.Allthewhile,theresearchersstuckahotobject—similartothepainofaboilinghotteacupontheparticipants’skin—totheirleftinnerforearms.Whenratingtheirexperiences,peopleweremorelikelytoreportfeelinglesspainwhenlisteningtotheirfavoritesongscomparedwithhearingtheunfamiliarrelaxingsongs.Withmillionsofsongsavailable,oneperson’sfavoritesongislikelynotthesameasanother.Afterinterviewingtheparticipantsaboutthesongtheybroughtandtheirratingofpain,theresearchersfoundpeoplewholistenedtobittersweetandmovingsongsfeltlesspainthanwhentheylistenedtosongswithcalmingorcheerfulthemes(主题).“It’saverycoolresult,”saidleadstudyauthorDariusValevicius,adoctoralstudentofneurosciencesattheUniversityofMontreal.“Ithinkit’swhyImyselfandprobablymanypeoplechoosetolistentobittersweetorevenspiritualmusic.”32.WhydoestheauthormentionAdeleinthefirstparagraph?A.Toreachaconclusion.
