答案：Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了四位伟人,他们都是社会的重要贡献者,为社会变革做出了巨大的贡献。1.A细微环节理解题。依据LouisPasteur部分中的“Pasteurcontributedgreatlytowardstheadvancementofmedicalsciencesdevelopingcuresforrabies,anthraxandotherinfectiousdiseases.”可知,LouisPasteur促进了医学的发展。2.D细微环节理解题。依据JamesClerkMaxwell部分尾句“EinsteinsaidofMaxwell,‘TheworkofJamesClerkMaxwellchangedtheworldforever.’”可知,爱因斯坦对JamesClerkMaxwell的评价很高。3.C推理推断题。依据文章内容可知,他们四个人都是社会的重要贡献者,为社会变革做出了巨大的贡献。【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲解并描述了作者接触、探讨、学习以及实施在线教化的故事。4.D细微环节理解题。由第一段中的“Theexplosionoftechnologyhasmadeteachingoutsidethetraditionalclassroompossibleforteachersandhasprovidedlearnerswitheasyaccesstocoursematerials.”可知,技术的发展让老师们可以在传统课堂以外教学,也让学习者能够很简单获得课程材料。由此可知,技术的快速发展让在线教化的发展从中受益。故选D项。5.D推理推断题。由其次段中的“Theseexperienceshelpedmerealizeatleasttosomeextentthedegreeofgrowthinonlineeducation.”可知,作者以一个学生为例是想表明他起先接触在线教化,这些经验帮助他相识到在线教化已成为教化大势。由此推知,提及学生是为了预料教学生涯的将来。故答案为D项。6.A推理推断题。由第三段中的“Myresponsibilitiesforthetermincludedgainingmoreunderstandingofonlineeducation.Consequently,Imadeseveralattemptstoenrichmyknowledgeofdistancelearningandonlineteaching.”可推知,作者尝试远程学习和在线教学是因为对学问的渴望,故答案为A项。7.C推理推断题。由第三段中的“IwouldconsiderthesepeopleasmyconsultantsasIbegantodesignmyownonlinecourse...EventuallyIcompletedaliteraturereviewwhichgavemethefoundationandthebackgroundofunderstandingtheneedforonlineeducation.”可推知,作者对在线教化的看法是支持的(supportive),故答案为C项。【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。探讨人员留意到,家庭图书馆的规模表明,以书籍为导向的社会化,使年轻人拥有终身的品位、技能和学问。文章还说明白在家庭图书馆的环境中长大,可以提高成年人的读写、计算和解决技术问题的实力,这远远超过了父母教化或自己的教化或职业成就所带来的好处。8.B主旨大意题。第一段主要介绍了2024年的一项探讨发觉:读书明显能让人成为一个更好、更聪慧的企业家。参加者小时候家里的书越多,他们成年后所具备的读写、数学和解决技术问题的技能就越强。由此可知,第一段主要讲的是一项鼓舞人心的探讨发觉。故选B项。9.D词义揣测题。依据画线词后文“Adultswhogrewupwithrelativelyfewbooksintheirhomesandlaterearnedacollegedegreehadliteracylevelsapproximatelyequaltoadultswhogrewupinhomeswithlargelibrariesbutonlyattendedschoolfornineyears.”可知,那些在家中书籍相对较少的环境中长大、后来获得高校学位的成年人,其文化水平与那些在拥有大量图书的家庭中长大、但只上了九年学的成年人大致相当。由此可见,高等教化并不确定能弥补“家里有很多书”的优势。故画线词意思是“弥补”。故选D项。10.B推理推断题。依据最终一段中的“JessicaStillmanwrites,surroundingyourselfwithmorebooksthanyoucouldeverreadsaysgoodthingsaboutyourmind.Thosebooksserveasaconstantreminderofallthethingsyoudon’tknow—whichhelpskeepyouintellectuallyhungryandcurious.Andpossibly,thiswillkeepyoualittlemoremodest,sinceresearchshowsthequickeryouaretoadmityoudon’tknowsomething,thefasteryoucanthenlearnit.(杰西卡·斯蒂尔曼写道,让自己置身于你读不完的书之中,这说明你的思想很好。那些书会不断提示你还有什么东西是你不知道的——这有助于你保持求知欲和新奇心。这可能会让你更虚心一点,因为探讨表明,你越快承认自己不知道某件事,你就能越快地学会它。)”可推知,作者提到杰西卡是为了强调虚心的重要性。故选B项。11.A主旨大意题。文章主要说明白家庭图书馆给人带来的各种优势和好处。2024年的一项探讨结果显示,参加者小时候家里的书越多,他们成年后所具备的读写、数学和解决技术问题的技能就越强。探讨人员留意到,家庭图书馆的规模表明,以书籍为导向的社会化,使年轻人拥有终身的品位、技能和学问。文章还说明白,在家庭图书馆的环境中长大可以提高成年人的读写、计算和解决技术问题的实力,这远远超过了父母教化或自己的教化或职业成就所带来的好处。由此可知,这篇文章主要讲的是家庭图书馆的规模示意着一些终身技能。故选A项。Ⅱ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者的奶奶特别喜爱读书,同时又很节约,因此奶奶参加了“读书传递”的活动。作者也会在奶奶没有书读的时候买给她。1.A依据上文“Mygrandmais95yearsold...inherlife.”以及下文“Sheappreciatesthelittlethings...lovestodoisREAD!”可知,第一段在介绍奶奶是什么样的人,其次段在介绍奶奶的爱好。又依据最终一段“I’velearntsomuchfromher...solostwithouther.”可知,作者很敬重奶奶,奶奶对她来说特别重要。因为此空在第一段,应当起到总结全文,承上启下的作用。A项“我因为很多不同的事敬重她。”符合上下文。2.G依据上文“ButwhatshereallylovestodoisREAD!”以及下文“Blessherheart!”可知,此空在强调作者的奶奶有多爱读书。G项“我记得当没有书读的时候,她就读电话本。”符合上下文。3.E依据上文“Ialsobringmythreekids...inherdriveway.”以及下文“Laughingherheadoff...allkindsofhousework.”可知,作者带孩子在奶奶家跑来跑去,奶奶特别快乐,并笑得前仰后合。因此此空应表达出奶奶兴奋的状态。E项“奶奶说,每到周六,家里就复原了朝气。”符合上下文。4.F依据上文“EverymonthGrandmagetsadelivery...fullofbooks.”以及下文“Shecanpassmybooks...ontoherfriend.”可知,此空应和“我的书”有关。F项“但她读得太多了,我也带我的书给她读。”符合上文,虽然很期盼图书馆的书,但书还是不够,须要作者给她带。5.B依据上文“Therehavebeenafewtimes...sheneededbooks.”以及下文“Yousee,Grandmarespectedmoneyherwholelifeandshetooraisedthreechildrenalone,likeme.”可知,奶奶是一个很节约的人,作者为了不让她知道书是自己花钱买的,而说是别人送给自己的,此空应填奶奶收到作者“送的书”的反应。B项“此外,她的微笑使这一切都值得。”符合上下文。Ⅲ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者因为父母的问题而影响了学习,作者的老师很快发觉了作者的问题,她和作者谈话,关切作者的功课,
