——★参考答案★——第二部分阅读(共两节，满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)【答案】21~23DAC24~27ADDB28~31CBDA32~35BABDA【语篇导读】这是一篇应用文。介绍了SunnyMart提供30天内的退款和换货服务条款以及退货运费政策。【答案详析】21.D细节理解题。根据第一个小标题的第四、第五条可以得知，只有常规的正价商品才可以退款，故此选D。22.A推理判断题。根据信息句“Weonlyreplaceitemsiftheyaredefectiveordamaged”可以得知换货的标准是商品有瑕疵或者被损坏了。23.C推理判断题。根据最后一个小标题可知，退换货的往返运费都是由顾客自行承担的，所以“Customer-responsible”选项符合题意。B【语篇导读】这是一篇记述文。AnjaliSud作为Vimeo的首席执行官，通过引入创作者订阅计划、收购直播公司以及坚持无广告体验，将Vimeo公司从内容平台转型为技术驱动的创作者赋能平台。【答案详析】24.A推理判断题。根据后文的信息句“Vimeoshiftedfromamediaplatforminvestingincontenttoatechcompanyempoweringcreators”(Vimeo从一家投资内容的媒体平台转变为一家赋予创作者权力的科技公司)可知AnjaliSud所说的这句话强调的是要跳出思维定势，寻找新的解决问题的方法和思路。25.D细节理解题。根据第三段信息句“Insteadofchargingtheaudience,Vimeoofferedpaidsubscriptionplansforcreatorstoaccessadvancedtoolsontheplatform”(Vimeo没有向观众收费,而是为创作者提供付费订阅计划，让他们可以使用平台上的高级工具)，故此选D。26.D细节理解题。根据第四段的信息句“AcceptingthisshortcomingandlookingatanalternativesolutionhelpedVimeopurchaseaLivestreamcompanythatlaunchedthelivevideoproduct”(接受这个缺点并寻找替代解决方案帮助Vimeo收购了一家推出直播视频产品的Livestream公司)，可知答案为D。27.B细节理解题。根据第五段信息句“Vimeo’smissionistoempowercreatorstotellexceptionalstories,focusingonindividualsandsmalltomedium-sizedbusinessesforvideocreationanddistribution”(Vimeo的使命是让创作者能够讲述非凡的故事，专注于个人和中小型企业的视频创作和分发)，可知B选项符合。C【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。本文讨论了大学专业选择与收入增长的关系。文章强调，虽然STEM(科学、技术、工程、数学)专业起薪较高，但文科专业通过积累更多基础性技能，尤其是在管理和商业领域，能够在职业生涯中迎头赶上。作者主张大学课程应保持平衡，避免过度技术化，目的是为学生未来的长远职业生涯做好准备。【答案详析】28.C推理判断题。第二段中的数字显示，虽然STEM专业起薪较高，但文科专业的毕业生收入在中期(40岁左右)迅速增长，最终缩小了与STEM专业的收入差距。尤其是进入管理、商业和法律等领域后，文科专业的收入赶上甚至超越了STEM专业的毕业生。29.B细节理解题。文章第三、四段分析了文科专业收入迎头赶上的原因。第三段的信息句“OnereasonforthenarrowinggapisthatSTEMjobschangerapidly,andworkersmustconstantlylearnnewskillstokeepup”指出STEM行业的工作变化迅速，需要不断更新技能，这使得收入增长放缓，进而缩小了与文科专业毕业生收入之间的差距。30.D推理判断题。在文章中，作者虽然并没有反对STEM专业，但作者提醒不要让大学课程过于技术化和职业化。作者提倡一种平衡的教育方式，认为大学学位应该为学生未来40年的工作生活做好准备，而不是仅仅针对眼前的职业需求。最后一句话表明，大学教育应为学生准备未来，而未来是无法完全预见的，因此提倡一种更加全面、平衡的课程设置。31.A主旨大意题。本文探讨了STEM专业和文科专业的收入差距。虽然STEM专业的起薪较高，但随着时间的推移，文科专业毕业生的收入增长速度更快，尤其是在进入管理、商业等高薪领域后，最终赶上STEM专业毕业生。因此,“EngineersStartFaster,butPoetsCatchup”(理科生起步更快,但文科生会迎头赶上)最能概括文章的主旨。D【语篇导读】本文介绍了塔夫茨大学的工程师们开发的一种新型成像技术，通过结合原子力显微镜(AFM)、物理测量和机器学习，能够提供高分辨率的彩色图像，帮助更准确地分析材料，尤其在塑料和医疗健康领域具有广泛应用。【答案详析】32.B推理判断题。根据文章中的描述，Tufts大学的工程师们开发了一种新型成像方法，这种方法能够看到1.6纳米的细节，提供高分辨率的材料图像，并且与传统显微镜和原子力显微镜(AFM)相比，提供更多的“颜色”信息，能够显示不同原子或材料的类型。因此，选项B是正确的，描述了新方法的主要优势，即提供高分辨率的彩色图像。33.A主旨大意题。根据第二段的描述，文章主要讲解了这项成像技术的工作原理，具体包括AFM扫描样品表面，识别分子类型，并通过物理测量和机器学习生成详细的彩色图像。选项A概括了段落内容，即技术的工作原理。34.B猜测词义题。根据第三段信息句“itcouldspeedupthedevelopmentofplasticmaterialsthatdegradesmoothly,layerbylayer,helpingtopreventmicroplasticpollution,whichharmstheenvironmentandentersthefoodchain”(它可以加速对能够逐层平滑降解的塑料材料的开发，有助于防止危害环境并进入食物链的微塑料污染)，选项“Breakdown”指的是某物逐渐崩解或分解，符合题意。35.D细节推理题。根据第四段信息句“Bylookingatthesetinychanges,wecanmorequicklypredictwhatmighthappentothesenewmaterialsovertime”,纳米尺度成像技术通过观察材料的微小变化,帮助更快速地预测新材料随时间的表现，强调了这种技术可以更快速、更精确地预测材料的变化，因此选项D是正确的。第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)【答案】36~40GEDFA【语篇导读】本文强调了提前购票的策略如何有效提升活动参与度。通过提供早鸟票，活动组织者不仅可以提前获得收入，还能增强参与者的参与感和期待，最终推动更多人购票。【答案详析】36.G前文引入早鸟票的话题，后文的“They”指的是组织者，因此G选项“早鸟票是组织者用来鼓励提前购买的折扣票”符合题意。37.E根据后文的“Forticketholders”以及“Foreventplanners”可知,此空应该是该段的主题句,E选项符合题意。38.D该段讲述的是如何利用倒计时来激励人们购买早鸟票，D选项“使用我们的倒计时钟为你的活动创造一种紧迫感”符合题意。39.F根据后文的“不管奖励是什么，一定要像对待皇室一样对待这些早起的买家”可知，该空应该是说奖励的具体内容是什么，因此选F。40.A后文说“最成功的促销者会在活动前的几个月里多次提供限时销售窗口”，可以得知第三条建议应该是要多次提供购买早鸟票的机会，因此A选项“只有一次机会的早鸟票体验是一个神话”符合题意。第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分)【答案】41~45CABDC46~50ABDCA51~55DBACD【答案详析】41.C根据上下文，作者哪怕是看到蛇的图像或玩具模型都会感到恐惧，因此这里的“sight”(看到、目睹)符合题意。42.A作者提到这种恐惧会让她陷入极度害怕的状态，故“freeze”(僵住)最符合句意。其他选项如“catch”(抓住)“engage”(吸引)和“excite”(激发)与表达恐惧的情绪不符。43.B“takeontherole”是一个固定短语，意为“承担”或“接受”某个角色。在这里，作者描述她成为辅导员，这是一种责任的承担。其他选项“reflecton”(反思)“focuson”(专注于)和“insiston”(坚持)不符合句意。44.D后文中提到在动物站“面对一条活蛇”，因此“live”(活的)是正确答案，是原词复现。其他选项如“dangerous”(危险的)“harmless”(无害的)和“wild”(野生的)都不如“live”贴切,因为未强调蛇的危险性或野生属性。45.C句意显示工作人员热情地向作者宣告可以接触活蛇，最合适的动词是“declared”(宣称、宣布)。相比之下,“continued”(继续)“mentioned”(提到)和“screamed”(尖叫)均不够准确或不符合语境。46.A作者虽然害怕蛇，但不想放弃或抛下孩子们，因此“abandon”(放弃、抛下)最为适合。47.B根据后文，工作人员解释这条蛇的特性是遇到威胁时会装死，暗示它其实“无害”。因此，“harmless”(无害的)符合语境。其他选项如“risky”(有风险的)“aggressive”(攻击性的)和“curious”(好奇的)不符合蛇的性格描述。48.D蛇遇到威胁时会装死,这是一种“playdead”(装死)的行为。因此“play”最为准确。49.C根据上下文，作者即使在害怕的情况下，也在孩子们的鼓励下决定触摸蛇。虽然她鼓起了勇气，但仍然带着勉强的心情。因此，“unwillingly”(不情愿地)更符合作者当时的心理。50.A此句描述蛇在作者手臂上的状态，表达的是一种“摆放”或“放置”的感觉。因此，“positioned”(摆放，安放)最符合蛇在她手臂上的姿态。51.D作者逐渐意识到她的“恐惧”源于误解，因此“fear”是最符合的选项。52.B这句话的意思是勇敢并非指“没有恐惧”，所以“absence”(缺失、没有)最贴切。53.A虽然克服了对蛇的恐惧，但作者仍然对蛇保持“谨慎”态度，因此“cautious”(谨慎的)最合适。54.C勇气在于克服恐惧而非“回避”恐惧,因此“avoiding”(回避)最符合文意。其他选项如“suffering”(遭受)“surviving”(存活)和“acknowledging”(承认)不符合题意。55.D最后一句引用了名言,即真正的勇敢是“克服”恐惧。因此“conquers”(克服)是最佳选项。“hides”(隐藏)“encounters”(遇到)和“values”(珍视)均不符合题意。第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)【答案】56.harmoniously57.attracts58.warmth59.themes60.drawing61.developed62.at63.toadvance64.the65.and【答案详析】56.moniously考查词形转换。57.attracts考查主谓一致,主语为“anewcopperscreen”,现在时强调屏幕的持续吸引力。58.warmth考查词形转换。59.themes考查名词复数。60.drawing考查现在分词作方式状语,与前面的“bybroadeningthethemes…”是并列结构。61.developed考查过去分词作后置定语。62.at考查介词的固定搭配,“at…temperature”。63.toadvance考查动词不定式在抽象名词后作后置定语。64.
