D.Anadventurousencounterwithwilddolphins.【答案】4.A5.B6.C7.D【解析】【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者在凯库拉的海豚观察之旅中体验到的探险经历。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“Withmoreadrenaline(肾上腺素)thanIhadwhenjumpingoutofaplane,Iputonmyflippers(脚蹼)quicklyandgotreadyformydiving.(我的肾上腺素比从飞机上跳下来时要多，我迅速穿上脚蹼，准备潜水)”可知，作者潜水前心情很兴奋。故选A项。【5题详解】推理判断题。根根据第二段“Themomentwedoveoffthewater,Iwasfullyawake.Noamountofcoffee,tea,orsugarhasevergivenmesuchanintensewakeup.Itturnsout,theoceanisfreezingat5am.,beforethesunhasrisenandinearlyspring.(当我们潜入水中时，我完全醒了。再多的咖啡、茶或糖都无法让我如此清醒。事实证明，在早春，太阳升起之前，海洋在早上5点就冰冷刺骨)”可知，作者跳入水中突然清醒是由于清晨的冰水刺骨。故选B项。【6题详解】细节理解题。根根据第三段中“Ihummedstrangenoiseswhichweresimilartowhales’todrawtheattentionofmoremembers,includingatinybabydolphinnobiggerthanmycalf.(我哼着类似鲸鱼的奇怪声音来吸引更多成员的注意，包括一只比我的小腿还小的小海豚)”可知，暗色斑纹海豚非常喜爱鲸鱼叫声。故选C项。【7题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第三段“Amomentlater,Iwasfacetofacewithawildduskydolphin,oneofthesmallestspeciesofdolphinintheworld!

(片刻之后，我与一只野生的暗色斑纹海豚面对面，这是世界上最小的海豚物种之一！)”，第四段“ Thesunrose,warmingmybackasIcontinuedtostruggleamongthemostelegantanimalsintheocean.

(太阳升起来了，温暖着我的背，我继续在海洋中和最优雅的动物游泳)”以及最后一段“Bysupportingthisadventurousexperience,you’resupportingdolphinconservation.(通过支持这一冒险经历，你就是在支持海豚保护)”可知，本文讲述了作者与野生海豚在大自然的冒险奇遇的经历。故选D项。CWhenJohnwasgrowingup,otherkidsfeltsorryforhim.Hisparentsalwayshadhimweedingthegarden,carryingoutthegarbageanddeliveringnewspapers.ButwhenJohnreachedadulthood,hewasbetteroffthanhischildhoodplaymates.Hehadmorejobsatisfaction,abettermarriageandwashealthier.Mostofall,hewashappier,farhappier.Thesearethefindingsofa40yearstudythatfollowedthelivesof456teenageboysfromBoston.Thestudyshowedthatthosewhohadworkedasboysenjoyedhappierandmoreproductivelivesthanthosewhohadnot.“Boyswhoworkedinthehomeormunitygainedpetenceandcametofeeltheywereworthwhilemembersofsociety,”saidGeorgeVaillant,thepsychologistwhomadethediscovery.“Andbecausetheyfeltgoodaboutthemselves,othersfeltgoodaboutthem.”Vaillant’sstudyfollowedthesemalesingreatdetail.Interviewswererepeatedatages25,31and47.UnderVaillant,theresearchersparedthemen’smentalhealthscoreswiththeirboyhoodactivityscores.Pointswereawardedforparttimejobs,housework,effortinschool,andabilitytodealwithproblems.Thelinkbetweenwhatthemenhaddoneasboysandhowtheyturnedoutasadultswassurprisinglymanifest.Thosewhohaddonethemostboyhoodactivitiesweretwiceaslikelytohavewarmrelationswithawidevarietyofpeople,fivetimesaslikelytobewellpaidand16timeslesslikelytohavebeenunemployed.TheresearchersalsofoundthatIQandfamilysocialandeconomicclassmadenorealdifferenceinhowtheboysturnedout.Working—atanyage—isimportant.AsTolstoyoncesaid,“Onecanlivemagnificentlyinthisworldifoneknowshowtoworkandhowtolove,toworkforthepersononelovesandtoloveone’swork.”8.WhatdoweknowaboutJohn?A.Heenjoyedhiscareerandmarriage.

D.Suddenandrapid.【答案】8.A9.D10.C11.C【解析】【导语】本文为一篇说明文，研究表明，在孩童时期进行劳动且参与活动的男孩在长大后往往会生活得更快乐、更有成效。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段“ButwhenJohnreachedadulthood,hewasbetteroffthanhischildhoodplaymates.Hehadmorejobsatisfaction,abettermarriageandwashealthier.(但是当约翰成年后，他比他童年的玩伴过得好。他的工作满意度更高，婚姻更好，身体也更健康)”可知，约翰享受自己的事业和婚姻。故选A。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Thestudyshowedthatthosewhohadworkedasboysenjoyedhappierandmoreproductivelivesthanthosewhohadnot.“Boyswhoworkedinthehomeormunitygainedpetenceandcametofeeltheywereworthwhilemembersofsociety,”saidGeorgeVaillant,thepsychologistwhomadethediscovery.“Andbecausetheyfeltgoodaboutthemselves,othersfeltgoodaboutthem.”(研究表明，那些小时候工作过的人比那些没有工作过的人生活得更快乐、更有成效。“在家里或社区工作的男孩获得了能力，并逐渐觉得自己是有价值的社会成员，”发现这一发现的心理学家乔治·韦兰特说。“因为他们自我感觉良好，别人也会对他们感觉良好。”)”可推知，第二段Vaillant的话解释了为什么有些男孩会长成快乐的人。故选D。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Interviewswererepeatedatages25,31and47.UnderVaillant,theresearchersparedthemen’smentalhealthscoreswiththeirboyhoodactivityscores.Pointswereawardedforparttimejobs,housework,effortinschool,andabilitytodealwithproblems.(在25岁、31岁和47岁时重复接受采访。在Vaillant的研究中，研究人员将这些男性的心理健康得分与他们的童年活动得分进行了比较。兼职工作、家务、在学校的努力以及处理问题的能力都可以获得分数)”可推知，Vaillant的团队是通过比较不同的分数获得发现的。故选C。【11题详解】词义猜测题。根据划线词下文“Thosewhohaddonethemostboyhoodactivitiesweretwiceaslikelytohavewarmrelationswithawidevarietyofpeople,fivetimesaslikelytobewellpaidand16timeslesslikelytohavebeenunemployed.(那些经常参加童年活动的人与各种各样的人保持友好关系的可能性是其他人的两倍，收入高的可能性是其他人的五倍，失业的不可能性是其他人的16倍)”可推知，男性在孩童时期的行为和成年后的表现之间的联系非常明显的，划线词manifest意思为“明显的，清晰的”，与C选项“Clearanddefinite(清晰明确的)”意思一致。故选C。DInspiredbythemedicalbayoftheUSSEnterprisefromStarTrek(星际迷航),aresearchteamfromtheUniversityofWaterloousesradartechnologytomonitorpeople’shealthwhileatthewheel,turninganordinarycarortruckintoamobilemedicalcenter.Dr.GeorgeShaker,aprofessorintheDepartmentofElectricalandputerEngineeringattheUniversityofWaterloo,isworkingwithateamofgraduatestudentstobineradarwithevolvingvehicletechnologytomakehealthcheckseasier.Theideaistousethetimepeoplespendintheircarstogatherdataontheirhealthforaccurateanalysisandpreventativetreatment—withouttheneedforanytypeofwearable.Theradar,smallerthanaUSBthumbdrive,isplacedintothevehiclecabinandsendsoutsignalsthatdetecthumanvibrations(颤动),whicharethensentbacktotheradar.ThebuiltinAIsystemcollectsandanalyzesthedatatobuildamedicalpictureandidentifyanypotentialconditions.Attheendofthedriver’sjourney,thesystemsendsthereportdirectlytotheircellphoneforreview.ForShakerandhisteam,thechallengewasevolvingthetechtoidentifychangesinbreathingpatternsorheartrhythmsthatsignifypotentialhealthissuesrelatedtocardiovascularconditionsaswellasrespiratorysystemconditions.“Wefocusedonenhancingdatacollectionforexactinformationrelatedtopeople’srespiratoryandcardiovascularsystemsandteachingtheAIhowtomakemedicalinterpretationsfromthisdata.Anotherimportantconsiderationwaspersonalprivacyandsecurity—nodataisstoredonthecloud;itissenttothemonitoredperson’scellphoneonly,”saidAliGhara,theleadPh.D.studentontheproject.Theresearchteamisbuildingonthisworktoexpandtheradartechnology’scapabilitiestomonitorallvehicleoccupants’overallhealthandwellbeing,rundiagnosticsandgeneratequalitymedicalreportsthatflaganyissuesthatneedattention,aswellasassistwithemergencymunicationintheeventofanaccident.12.Whatcanwelearnabouttheradartechnology?A.Itprovidesmoreprecisehealthdatathanwearables.B.Itcreatesmedicalpicturestorevealhealthysecrets.C.Itsendsthehealthreporttothedriver’sphoneforreview.D.Itbineswithvehicletechnologytoassessthedriver’shealth.13.WhatcanbeinferredfromAliGhara’swordsinparagraph5?A.TheAIneedstrainingtocollecthealthdata.

”可知，雷达技术结合车辆技术，来评估驾驶员的健康状况。故选D。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第五段的AliGhara说的话“Wefocusedonenhancingdatacollectionforexactinformationrelatedtopeople’srespiratoryandcardiovascularsystemsandteachingtheAIhowtomakemedicalinterpretationsfromthisdata.(我们专注于加强与人们呼吸和心血管系统相关的确切信息的数据收集，并教人工智能如何根据这些数据进行医学解释)”可知，研究团队正在加强雷达的数据收集能力和教AI对医学数据进行解释。由此可推知，团队正在改善数据收集和分析的能力。故选D。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Theresearchteamisbuildingonthisworktoexpandtheradartechnology’scapabilitiestomonitorallvehicleoccupants’overallhealthandwellbeing,rundiagnosticsandgeneratequalitymedicalreportsthatflaganyissuesthatneedattention,aswellasassistwithemergencymunicationintheeventofanaccident.(研究团队正在这项工作的基础上扩展雷达技术的能力，以监测所有车辆乘客的整体健康和福祉，运行诊断程序，生成高质量的医疗报告，标记任何需要注意的问题，并在发生事故时协助进行紧急通信)”可知，团队将增强对所有乘客的健康监测。故选C。【15题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“InspiredbythemedicalbayoftheUSSEnterprisefromStarTrek(星际迷航 ),aresearchteamfromtheUniversityofWaterloousesradartechnologytomonitorpeople’shealthwhileatthewheel,turninganordinarycarortruckintoamobilemedicalcenter.(受《星际迷航》中企业号航空母舰医疗舱的启发，滑铁卢大学的一个研究小组使用雷达技术在驾驶时监测人们的健康状况，将一辆普通汽车或卡车变成了一个移动医疗中心)”以及全文可知，本文介绍了研究团队利用雷达技术将车辆转变为移动医疗中心，监测驾驶者的健康状况。因此“健康驾驶：雷达在车辆中监测健康”适合作本文的标题。故选C。第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Whyyou’remorecreativeincoffeeshopsSomeofthemostsuccessfulpeopleinhistoryhavedonetheirbestworkincoffeeshops___16___.AmongthemarePabloPicasso,J.K.Rowling,FrancoisVoltaireandBobDylan.AsweetspotofnoiseandcrowdsSomeofusstickinourearbudsassoonaswesitdowntoworkinapublicsetting.Butscientistshaveknownforyearsthatbackgroundnoisecanbenefitourcreativethinking.Astudyshowedthatamodestlevelofsurroundingnoiseinaplacelikeacafecanactuallypromoteyourcreativeoutput.___17___.Therefore,thiscanleadtomorecreativeideageneration.AirofinformalityThetypicalcoffeeshopusermightbealoneworkerstrugglingwithacreativeeffort.However,expertssaythesecafesettingscanalsobenefitworkgroupswhoarebrainstorming.Thereisaformalairwhengatheringondigitalmeetingplatforms.___18___.Allthoseaudioandvisualstimuli(刺激)helpgroups,too,paredtothemeetinginaformalmeetingroom.___19___Onethingthatcanmakeworkingfromhomeortheofficefeelboringisthevisualenvironment.Oftenwesitinthesamechairandlookatthesamefourwallsalldaylong.Inthecoffeeshops,peopleeandgo.Thedaylightchanges.___20___.Whilewetendnottotakeconsciousnoticeofthesemicrostimuli,andlikelydon’topenlychoosetoworkinthislocationbecauseofthem,theseactivitiesaroundusmakeourbrainsworkabitdifferentlythanathome.A.VisualvarietyB.ThebirthplaceofcountlessgreatworksC.ThepleasantsmellsofcoffeeandfoodvaryD.NotallkindsofnoisysurroundingsarebadforyourcreativityE.Bycontrast,thereisaninformalatmospherewhenmeetingupatabarorcafeF.Whatevertheircareers,theyhavetappedintotheircreativityworkingatatableinacafeG.Becauseifyou’reslightlydistractedfromthetaskathand,itraisesyourabstractthinkingability【答案】16.F17.G18.E19.A20.C【解析】【导语】本文是说明文。文章描述了咖啡馆可以使人们工作时更有创造力，并且分别讲述其产生的原因和具体的影响。【16题详解】上文提到“Someofthemostsuccessfulpeopleinhistoryhavedonetheirbestworkincoffeeshops.(历史上一些最成功人都是在咖啡店里完成了他们最好的工作。)”这里提及了“people”，下文中“AmongthemarePabloPicasso,J.K.Rowling,FrancoisVoltaireandBobDylan.(其中包括巴勃罗·毕加索、J·K·罗琳、弗朗索瓦·伏尔泰和鲍勃·迪伦。)”可知，这一段主要举例了多位不同职业的名人，有人称代词“them”指代他们也是喜欢在咖啡馆工作，F选项中“theircareer”以及“they”与上下文对应，符合文意。故选F。【17题详解】上文“Astudyshowedthatamodestlevelofsurroundingnoiseinaplacelikeacafecanactuallypromoteyourcreativeoutput.(一项研究表明，在咖啡馆这样的地方，适度的周围噪音实际上可以促进你的创造性产出。)”以及下文“Therefore,thiscanleadtomorecreativeideageneration.(因此，这样做会产生更多有创意的想法。)”可知，本段小标题“Asweetspotofnoiseandcrowds(一个有噪音和人群的最佳地点)”主要讨论多种不同声音对于人们工作时创造能力的影响，上文提及关键词“noise”，下文提及“this”指代在咖啡馆工作的行为，G选项中“distractedfromthetask(从任务中分心)”可知，噪音使人分心，这指代噪音造成的影响，但是这样做反而促进创造力的产生，符合文意。故选G。【18题详解】上文“Thereisaformalairwhengatheringondigitalmeetingplatforms.(在虚拟会议平台上聚会有一种正式的气氛。)”与下文“Allthoseaudioandvisualstimuli(刺激)helpgroups,too,paredtothemeetinginaformalmeetingroom.(与在会议室的正式会议相比，所有这些音频和视觉刺激也有助于团队协作。)”可知，本段主要描述不正式的工作氛围，上文“air”与小标题中关键字对应，下文中“Allthoseaudioandvisualstimuli(所有这些音频和视觉刺激)”指代咖啡馆的工作氛围，E项中“meetingupatabarorcafe(在酒吧或咖啡馆见面)”与上下文对应。故选E。【19题详解】本题需要选本段的小标题，而小标题是对全段落的高度概括，在本段中首句也是概括了段落主旨大意“Onethingthatcanmakeworkingfromhomeortheofficefeelboringisthevisualenvironment.(让在家或办公室工作感到无聊的原因之一是视觉环境。)”其中关键词“visual(视觉的)”与A项“Visualvariety(视觉变化)”对应。故选A。【20题详解】本题是最后一段的首句，也是对本段落的概括。下文中“Whilewetendnottotakeconsciousnoticeofthesemicrostimuli,andlikelydon’topenlychoosetoworkinthislocationbecauseofthem,theseactivitiesaroundusmakeourbrainsworkabitdifferentlythanathome.(虽然我们往往不会有意识地注意到这些微刺激，也可能不会因为它们而公开选择在这个地方工作，但我们周围的微小刺激活动会使我们的大脑工作与在家时有所不同。)”可知，本段主要提到了“thesemicrostimuli(这些微刺激)”除了上文提到的氛围和视觉变化，C选项中的“smells(气味)”也是微小刺激之一，与下文有对应关系。故选C。第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Cheersrosefromparentsastheysawtheir6thgraderchildrenwalkingintothehallwithsmile.Theywereaboutto____21____thiselementaryschool.Myparentswereabsentbecausetheywere____22____atwork.Theywere____23____allowedtohavedaysoffandeveniftheywere,they____24____nottoacceptthem.NewYorkwasnota____25____placetolive,sotheyhadtosaveeverypenny.Iwas6whenIfirstcametoAmerica.In____26____tomylifebefore,thelifeIhadto____27____herewasagreatweightonmyshoulders.Thisweightwaseven____28____bymanyproblems.Amongthemthe____29____wasthatIarrivedknowinglittleEnglish,whichmade____30____ofothers’wordshard.IdecidedtovisitthelibrarytoreadsomeEnglishlearningbooksinmysparetime.Ireachedthe____31____,andopenedthedoor,thenreachedhightogetabookfromabookshelf____32____overme.Itriedhardesttounderstandit,butmetwitha____33____.Helplessly,Iaskedthelibrarianto____34____thebookforme.Atfirst,heusedquite____35____sentences.Noticingwhathesaidconfusedme,herealizedhehad____36____thefactthatIwaspooratEnglish.ThenheusedmuchsimplerwordsandrepeatedlyaskedmeifIhad____37____.Ihadnoteverexperiencedsuch____38____,exceptfrommyteacher.Withhisregularhelp,my____39____tospeakEnglishincreasedandIformedfriendshipswithmanypeople.Finally,I
