【答案与解析】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了适合青少年阅读的四本书。1．C细节理解题。根据MakeYourBed部分“Inthisbook,AdmiralMcRavensharestalesfromhislife,includinghistimedevotedtothemilitary…”可知，MakeYourBed这本书提到了军队生活。2．D细节理解题。根据ShootYourShot部分“It’swrittenbyVernonBrundageJr.inthecontextofbasketballanddividedinto‘quarters’,similartoabasketballgame.”可知，ShootYourShot的作者是VernonBrundageJr.。3．B细节理解题。根据NeverFightAlone部分“Theseintervieweesdetailhowtheyovercamelifechallengesandprovidetipsforreaderstodothesame.”可知，NeverFightAlone这本书旨在帮助读者面对挑战。【答案与解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了天才少女DorothyJeanTillman求学和创办领导力学院的故事。4．A推理判断题。根据第一段“Fromayoungage,DorothyJeanTillmanexcelledinheracademicpursuits.Byage7,shewasalreadydoinghighschoolwork.Atthatpoint,shestartedtotakecollege-leveltests…”可推断，Dorothy很有天赋。5．B段落大意题。通读第二段可知，本段主要介绍了Dorothy所取得的成就。6．D词义猜测题。根据画线词前“…DorothyalsodevoteshertimetorunningtheDorothyJeaniusSTEAMLeadershipInstitute,which”及画线词后“hundredsofyoungpeopleinChicago,aswellasabroadincountrieslikeGhanaandSouthAfrica,topursueSTEAMcareers…’Wejustwanttoprovidethemwithallpossibleresourcesandthebestfoundationtobeabletostartwalkingonthatpathwaytotheirdreams,’shesaid.”可推断，画线词的意思和Motivates最接近。7．C细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，Dorothy想要授予营地的特许经营权是为了让更多儿童受益。【答案与解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了奥运会的简史。8．A推理判断题。通读第一段并结合全文可推断，本段主要为了引出话题。9．B细节理解题。通读第四段可知，本段的数据主要表明了奥运会的规模越来越大。10．A细节理解题。根据最后一段“Thegameswerecancelledthreetimesduetoglobalconflicts.Theywerenotheldin1916duringWorldWarIandin1940and1944duringWorldWarII.”可知，两次世界大战导致了现代奥运会的中断。11．D主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了奥运会的简史。【答案与解析】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了中国科学家发明的机器人导盲犬。12．B细节理解题。根据第二段“Therobotdog,whichiscurrentlybeingfield-tested,isabletonavigate（导航）itsphysicalenvironmentviacamerasandsensors,includingrecognizingtrafficlightsignals…”可知，作者在第二段提及“交通信号灯”是为了说明机器人导盲犬不同于传统导盲犬的功能。13．D细节理解题。根据第三段“RoughlythesizeofanEnglishBulldogbutabitwider…”可知，中国机器人导盲犬比英国斗牛犬的体型宽一些。14．C观点态度题。根据第四段“MarriedcoupleLiFei…‘IfthisrobotguidedogcomesontothemarketandIcoulduseit,atleastitcouldsolvesomeofmyproblemsintravelingalone,’Lisaid.”可推断，李飞对机器人导盲犬的态度是“支持的”。15．C推理判断题。根据第五段“‘InChina,therearejustover400guidedogsforalmost20millionblindpeople…’”和最后一段“Theremightbetensofmillionsofpeopleintheworldwhoneedguidedogs.Unlikethosedogs,whichwillalwaysbelimitedinsupplyduetothenaturallimitationsofbreedingandtheintensetrainingrequired…”可推断，机器人导盲犬会有很大的市场。【答案与解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了五种易得到回应的寻求帮助的方法。16．A根据空后“Imagineyou’regivingakeypointlist—andbespecific.”可知，A项“快速切入要点”符合。17．F该空是段落主题句。第三段的大意：人们希望帮助那些他们确信会按照所提供的帮助或建议行事的人。因此，当你从你期望你会再次寻求帮助的人那里得到帮助时，确保他们知道你已经按照他们之前的建议行事——并对此表示感谢。由此可知，F项“表示你之前已经按照对方的建议行事”能够概括本段中心。18．C根据该段主题句“Considerthetimingofyourrequest.”及空后“Thissystemworksgreatforeveryone.”可知，C项“这样，我的工作日就不会被打乱”符合。19．G根据空后“Byaskingsomeoneforhelp,you’reactuallygivingthatpersontheopportunitytoboosttheirmood.”可知，G项“向陌生人提供帮助通常会提升帮助者的情绪”符合。20．D根据空前“Itespeciallyhelpsnottobescaredofusingthephoneifitisthebestoptionforaparticularconcern.”可知，D项“如果你一开始没有成功，请挂断电话再试一次”符合。【答案与解析】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了KarlGoldstein的音乐老师对他一生的影响。21．D这位老师应该是向KarlGoldstein的父母（parents）提出建议的，因为KarlGoldstein那时候还小，教他的又是父母的朋友。而且，KarlGoldstein的母亲马上就报名参加了（signedup）一所音乐学校的课程。22．B见上题解析。23．A根据下文“I______italltothepreciousmomentwithmyseeminglytoughteacher,AliceShapiro.”可知，这位新老师以严厉（tough）著称。24．C一入学，她就要求KarlGoldstein背贝多芬奏鸣曲的乐谱（music）。25．A根据空前“Butyoumustdoit，…”可知，AliceShapiro的口气非常严厉（sharply）。26．B毫无疑问，这和之前的轻松愉快的（lighthearted）学习气氛没得比。27．C不久（long），KarlGoldstein就不想上她的钢琴课了。28．D他琢磨着（figured）另选一门乐器，或是自己教（teach）自己。29．B见上题解析。30．A根据下文可知，KarlGoldstein不久就改变了主意（mind）。31．C因为这位严厉的老师说了一句让他吃惊的（surpr
