答案：【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了图书馆的一些相关规定和开放时间等信息。1.B细节理解题。根据TheCOVID-19safetymeasures部分第三点“Foodisnotallowedinourlibraries.(我们的图书馆不允许食物进入)”可知,在图书馆吃三明治会让你被赶出图书馆。2.D细节理解题。根据Aboutopeninghours部分第一点“Thelibraryisopenfrom8a.m.to10p.m.onweekdaysandfrom7a.m.to11p.m.onweekends.(图书馆平日上午8点到晚上10点开放,周末上午7点到晚上11点开放)”以及第四点中“Librarystaff’sserviceisavailableuntil8p.m.everyday(图书馆员工服务持续到每天晚上8点)”可知,周六的员工服务持续13个小时。3.B细节理解题。根据Fineratesandlostbooks部分最后一点“Tellusifyou’velostabookandwe’llletyouknowthereplacementcost.(如果你丢了书,请告诉我们,我们会告诉你更换费用)”可知,如果你丢了一本书,你需要支付更换费用。【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了田纳西大学毕业生Melody和自己75岁的祖母PatOrmond一起从大学毕业的故事。4.D细节理解题。根据第一段中“ButforMelody,itlookeddifferentbecauseoftheclassmatewhograduatedalongsideher—hergrandmother,75-year-oldPatOrmond.TheybothwenttotheUniversityofTennesseeatChattanooga(UTC)andgraduatedtogether.(但对Melody来说,情况就不一样了,因为和她一起毕业的同学是她75岁的祖母PatOrmond。她们都是查塔努加的田纳西大学的毕业生)”可知,Melody的毕业典礼特别之处是她的祖母和她一起毕业。5.A词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“thedetermination,commitmentandloveforlifelonglearningweencourageineveryUTCgraduate”可知,UTC负责人说Melody和祖母代表了决心、承诺和对终身学习的热爱,这是他们鼓励每一位毕业生所具有的品质,故画线词意思是“代表”,故选A项。6.B推理判断题。根据第二段中“WhileshedidtakeanoccasionalclassatUTC,shesaidherfamilycontinuedtoencouragehertogobacktofinishherdegree,especiallyaftersheretired.”可知,Pat的家庭互相支持和鼓励。7.C推理判断题。文章主要讲述了田纳西大学毕业生Melody和自己75岁的祖母PatOrmond一起从大学毕业的故事。由此推知,PatOrmond的故事告诉我们“活到老,学到老”的道理。【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。如今医生被认为比以往任何时候都重要,但是医生人数往往有限,文章主要介绍了远程医疗的优势和可以提供的服务,以及人们对它的看法。8.A细节理解题。根据第二段中“...includingonlineconsultationsanddiagnoses,andremotepatientmonitoring.”以及第三段中“...offersvirtualvideoappointmentsforprivatepatients”可知,远程医疗可以为患者提供在线咨询、患者远程监护和虚拟视频预约服务,不提供在线手术。9.C推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘Thearrivaloftelehealthhasbeenjustcompletelyspeeded,andit’stakenthiscrisistopushustoanewfrontier.’Indeed,telemedicinewillhaveahugeeffectonmedicalcare,allowingformorepersonalizedtreatmentofpatientsafterCOVID-19hasrelieved.”可知,Seema对远程医疗的未来持乐观态度。10.A推理判断题。根据第一段中“But,accordingtostatisticsfromtheWHO,Chinahas19.79medicaldoctorsper10,000people,theUShas26.12,andtheUKhas27.86.”可知,中国每万人中医生的人数相对较少。11.B主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了远程医疗的优势和可以提供的服务,以及人们对它的看法。B选项“在线医疗”最符合文章标题。【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。短文介绍了社区齐心协力帮助学生解决在线学习时遇到的网络问题。12.C词义猜测题。根据第一段中“ButoneremainingneedinmanyfamilieswasInternetaccess.”和第二段中的“Wewantedtoavoidthatandmakesurestudentsinourdistrictcouldhaveequalchancestolearn...”可知,很多人在家学习和工作时,有时会出现网络问题。故画线词与problems同义。13.A细节理解题。由第三段“O’BriensaidthatthisyeartheymadesuretosurveyeachoftheirstudentstoseewhoexactlyneededtheInternet.”以及下文的内容可知,哈里森第二校区调查了解了学生的具体情况。14.D细节理解题。根据第五段中“Teamingupwithlocalfoundations,theywereabletoprovideamonthlyInternetservicethatallowsmanypeopletohaveInternetaccessatthesametime.”可知,Altia公司通过与当地的基金会合作,为有需求的学生提供必要的网络服务。15.D推理判断题。根据最后一段中“butthiswasapiecethatweweren’treadytodo.Wehadn’tbudgetedforit,sothecommunity’scomingtogethertohelpourfamiliesinthiswaywasreallytrulyamazing,”可知,社区帮助哈里森第二校区解决了他们未做准备的事情。【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自行车旅行这种旅行方式。就如何计划自行车旅行、自行车的选择等问题提出了一些建议。16.F根据下文“Becauseyoumovemoreslowlyonabike,youhaveachancetoreallysinkintoyourenvironment,observingwildlifeandviewsthatyoumightmissotherwise.”可知,F项“坐在自行车上看世界也是一种体验新地方的奇妙的方式”符合语境。17.G下文提到“如果你的团队里有不熟练的自行车手或孩子,那么骑行里程的目标定得很低的话,你可能会感到最快乐。但是一群更有经验的自行车骑手可以制定更严格的旅程目标。”由此可知,该段是在讲关于骑行的目标制定的问题。G项“当你计划你的旅行时,你要做的最大的决定是你每天想要骑行多远”符合语境。18.C根据上文“Aneasywaytotravelistocampalongtheway.”以及下文“Investinalight-weighttent,andlight-weightinflatablepadsunderyoursleepingbag.”可知,本段在讲露营设备的问题。C项“请记住,某些露营设备很重”可承接上下文。19.D上文提到选择更重的轮胎,那么本句承接上文说明可以向自行车商店查询轮胎重量的建议。故D项“向你当地的自行车商店查询轮胎重量的建议”符合语境。20.E上文提到“如果你有足够的时间,你可以骑行很远的距离。在数周的旅行过程当中,你会变得更强壮,一天之内也能够骑行得更远。”下文提到“你可能想要在旅途中早休息一两天,让你的身体得到一些休息。”由此可知,上下文含有转折关系,E项符合语境。【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述作者为创造新的生活而改造自己房子的经历,呼吁那些愿意倾听的人,不要再等待,立即行动起来。21.B根据下文“emptynestersintheirsixtiesweren’tsupposedtoneeda...”可知,显然(obviously)60多岁的空巢老人不需要更大的房子。22.D上文提到,作者打算把两层的老房子改造成多三个房间的新房子,但这个打算遭到了反对,因为60多岁的空巢老人不需要更大的(larger)房子。23.C根据下文“ofwhatourlifewouldbelike”可知,此处指医生在描述作者他们未来生活的图像,layoutthepictureof可理解为“描绘……的图像”。24.A根据“ashisillness...,Isawourfuturedie”可知,随着作者丈夫病情的发展(advanced),他们将没有未来。25.D根据下文“livinginourhomethewayithadbeen”可知,这里指继续像以前那样住在家里,continue符合语境。26.C根据下文“anewlifeforusbymyself”并结合下文作者改造房子可知,作者想自己创造(create)一个新生活。27.A根据下文“fortheworktobegin”可知,作者渴望改造工作开始。beeagerfor“渴望……”。28.B根据“Iwasblessedwithatalentedandcapablecontractorwho...thedifficultbuilding”可知,此处指承包商接手了(tookon)改造作者家这份困难的工作。29.D第一段提到作者要改造房子,所以此处指房屋的建造工作(construction)花费了八个月。30.A根据上文“Welivedonsitethroughoutthewholeprocess”可知,作者住在施工现场的目的是为了看着自己的梦想成真。31.B根据下文“Mynewhomehasnow...apalace,”可知,指新家成了(become)一座宫殿。32.C作者的新家现在成了一座宫殿,这儿不仅对她,对家人和朋友来说,每周都有新的回忆(memories)。33.
