参考答案第一部分阅读理解第一节A答案：13ACD解析：1.根据HowtoLookatShape部分的"you'lljoinMoMAstaffandfellowmembersforlivelydiscussions""AliveQ&A,withMichelleKuoandAnnyAviram,aboutshape…isalsoarranged"可知，该活动安排了讨论以及答疑活动，即提供了互动环节。2.根据StorytellingThroughArt部分的"Forkidsagesseventofourteen.Parentparticipationisencouragedinthisonlineevent.Don'tmisstheopportunitytospendmeaningfultimewiththem"可知，StorytellingThroughArt这一活动鼓励家长和孩子一同参加，即它适合家庭。3.根据题干中的"Bertram"可将答案定位至文章的TheHumanShelter部分，结合该部分的"DanishBorisBenjaminBertramdocumentedtheexhibition,andtheresultisamoviebyhimaskingwhatmakesahome,and,perhapsmoreimportantly,whenshelterbeeshome"可知，Bertram应是一位电影制作人，擅长电影制作。B答案：47BCAD解析：4.根据第一段中的"sniffingoutillegaldrugs,weaponsandsubstancesthatareableorlikelytocauseanexplosion"可知，警犬Ryzhiy的主要工作是嗅出非法毒品、武器和爆炸物，而这些都属于违禁品。由此可知，Ryzhiy通过发现违禁品来帮助警方，故选B。5.根据文章第二段中的"histrainerscreatedasocialmediaaccountforhimlastsummer"可知，更新Ryzhiy信息的是它的训导员们，故选C。6.根据倒数第二段中的"Hisowner,alsoapoliceofficer,broughthimtoworkoneday"可推断，Ryzhiy曾经是一位警官养的宠物狗，故选A。7.纵观全文可知，本文是一篇新闻报道，第一段中的"Russia'sfirstandonlypolicecorgi(柯基犬)hasannouncedhisretirementfromtheforce"点出文章主题，后面介绍了这只柯基警犬退休前的工作、退休后的现状以及它这份工作的由来等，故D项作本文标题最佳。C答案：811DBAC解析：8.根据第二段内容可知，SanLucas是哥伦比亚最原始的地方之一，有数千种动植物，但是金矿开采和古柯种植对它的生态系统造成了严重的破坏。为了限制该地区被过度开发，WebConserva发起了这一项目。由此可推知，该项目的目的是保护该地区的生物多样性，故选D。9.根据第三段中的"In2016,theColombiangovernmentsigned…Asaresult,morelandbecameaccessibleforuse…almost220,000hectaresofforestweredestroyedparedtoaround124,000hectaresin2015"可知，2016年，哥伦比亚结束多年内战，这使得更多土地可以被开采使用，毁林现象出现，森林面积大幅度减少。故选B。10.根据第四段中的"Hisnewcoffeeplantation(种植园)makesabarrierbetweencattlefarmsandforestswherewildanimalslikethejaguarliveandhunt.Inthisway,hedoesn'thavetokillwildanimalstoprotecthiscattle"可知，Barajas的咖啡种植园充当了一道把养牛场和野生动物隔开的屏障，如此一来，他就不用为了保护牛而杀死野生动物了。由此可推知，他的种植园既保护了牛，又保护了野生动物。故选A。11.根据第四段内容可知，Barajas是参与这个项目的成员之一，现在他不再砍伐森林和捕杀野生动物，再结合最后一段中的"I'mtakingcareoftheenvironment,theforestandtheanimals"可知，他现在已经把自己看成这片土地的守护者。故选C。D答案：1215DABC解析：12.根据第二段中的"Bytheendofthismonth,100willhavevisited.Thereasonissimple:Thwaitesnowisapotentialtimebomb"可知，将有更多的人前往思韦茨冰川，因为思韦茨冰川是一个潜在的定时炸弹；再结合第三段中的"Whileithasbeenlesseningsincetheearly1990s…enoughtoraiseseasbyadisastrous3.3metreswithinafewhundredyearsifThwaitesgoes"可知，在过去的20年里思韦茨冰川融化的速度几乎翻倍，它的消融会使海平面上升，而且会导致南极西部冰原更广范围的坍塌，从而带来更大的危险。由此可推知，越来越多的人前往思韦茨冰川是为了了解它的融化情况。13.根据画线词后的"Thefearisthatitwillcauseawidercollapseoftheicesheet—enoughtoraiseseasbyadisastrous3.3metreswithinafewhundredyearsifThwaitesgoes"可知，思韦茨冰川如果消融，会导致南极西部冰原更广范围的树塌，这足以使海平面在几百年里上升3.3米，由这种连锁反应可知，思韦茨冰川"支撑"着整个南极西部冰原，它的消融对南极西部冰原有灾难性的影响。故support与画线词意思相近。14.根据第四段中的"placinginstrumentsintotheiceistheonlywaytomakeaccurateforecastsofhowsealevelwillriseinthefuture"可知，研究人员在冰上钻孔是为了放设备进去，从而能够准确预测未来海平面的上升情况，故选B。15.根据上文的内容可知，思韦茨冰川是一个潜在的定时炸弹，它的消融会带来连锁反应，使南极西部冰原坍塌，海平面大幅上升，从而影响全球环境和人类的生存。因此JoanneJohnson认为，发生在南极洲的事情不只影响南极洲，思韦茨的问题是全球性问题，人类无法承受这种影响。故选C。第二节答案：1620EBGDC解析：16空前讲了"学习一门外语是大脑所能做的最困难的事情之一，通常被认为是一个充满障碍的过程"，下文介绍了一些困难及克服困难的方法，故E项"但是一旦你意识到它们，你就可以轻易地克服它们"承上启下，符合语境。17根据文章结构和空处所在位置可知，本空为段落主题句。根据下文的"Someofusfindtheinitialstageoflearninganewlanguageverychallenging""Itisessentialthatyoustayfocusedatthispoint"可知，本段主要讲了从头开始学习外语会遇到的困难及克服困难的方法，故选B项。18上文提到开始学习外语的一个难点——字母表，且空前提到"Thatisthefirstobstacle"，G项"当你过了这个难关时，会有另一个难关，如日常用语"与之衔接，选项中的it指代"thefirstobstacle"。19根据段落主题句和空后的"毕竟，你不懂语法也能说一门语言"可知，空处内容应与语法有关，D项"语法在学习外语中并不是至关重要的"符合语境，空后句子是对此的解释。20空前讲到有些人认为语言很难学，即使非常努力，他们也可能不会成功，C项顺承上文，且是空后的"Thenunavoidably,theperformancesarepoor"这一内容的原因。第二部分语言知识运用第一节答案：2125BCACA2630DADCB3135BCADB解析：21.根据上文的"MichaelToddworethesameoldclothesforthefirstthreeweeksofschool"以及下文讲到Todd被嘲笑可知，此处表示一些学生开始注意到（notice）这件事。22.结合语境以及下文的"makingfunofTodd"可知，Todd由于在学校的前三周每天都穿着同样的旧衣服，成了一些学生嘲笑的对象。laughter"笑，笑声"；assistance"帮助，援助"。23.根据下文的"forstartingtheunkindthing"可知，Garrett和Graham是带头嘲笑Todd的人。takethelead(indoingsth.)表示"带头（做某事）"。24.根据上文的"theirseeminglymakingfunofTodd"和下文的"washurtingTodd"可知，此处表示他们意识到他们看似开玩笑的行为本质上来说是一种欺凌，正在伤害Todd。essentially"本质上，根本上"，与上文的seemingly相对应。25.上文讲到他们意识到了自己的行为对Todd的伤害，又根据下文内容可知，Garrett和Graham给Todd送衣服和鞋子，故此处表示终于，他们对一些事恍然大悟。click"突然明白，恍然大悟"。26.根据下文Graham的做法可知，此处表示Graham想在事情变得更糟糕之前做些事情。27.根据上下文内容可知，Garrett和Graham密谋了一个计划。hatch"策划，（尤指）密谋"。28.根据空后的"throughtheirrooms"可知，他们翻遍了自己的房间。wander"徘徊，闲逛，漫步"；hunt"搜寻，寻找"。29.根据最后一段的"Reflectingonthedayhewascalledtothehall"可知，Garrett和Graham把Todd叫到了走廊(hall)。30.根据上文的"Toddwasunderstandablynervousofbeingcalledoutbythem"可知，被两个带头嘲笑自己的人叫出去，Todd看起来十分害怕。scared与上文的nervous（惶恐的）相呼应。31.根据上下文可知，Graham他们为自己以前的不友善行为道歉。apology"道歉，认错"；excuse"理由"。32.根据上文的"Ineededtodosomething"和空后的"HethenhandedToddabag.Insidewerecleanshirtsandanewpairofshoes"可知，Graham和Garrett想做一些弥补。getdownto"开始做"；goonwith"继续做"；makeupfor"弥补，补偿"；keepawayfrom"远离"。33.根据语境可知，Todd很惊讶。blowaway"使大为惊讶"；turnaway"拒绝"；strikedown"摧垮，使丧命"；letdown"使失望"。34.根据下文的"Becausehegotmuchmorethanclothesandshoes.He'snolongerbeing35atlunch.Nowheeatswithhisnewfriends,GarrettandGraham"可知，Todd认为Graham和Garrett把他叫到走廊的那天标志着他生活的改变。routine"惯例，常规"；transformation"改变，改观"。35.根据最后一句
