B.Anentertainmentmagazine.C.Alifecolumn. D.Aninterviewrecord.【答案】24.B25.D26.B27.C【解析】【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章讲述了一个朋友在帮助另一个朋友搬家过程中，不慎损坏了一幅画，而后者希望两人平分1200美元的修复费用。由此提出了两种处理方法：一是坚持认为在提供帮助时并未承担如此的经济责任；二是深入了解朋友的真正想法和感受，寻找不用金钱赔偿的其他弥补方式。作者认为，如何处理这一尴尬局面，将是对友谊的考验。【24题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Tome,itseemsthatifyougetfreeunprofessionalhelp,thenthere’snoinsurance.(在我看来，如果你接受了免费的非专业帮助，那就没有保险可言了。)”可知，作者之前认为如果是免费帮助，发生损坏就不需要承担责任，即费用应由物主承担。故选B。【25题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“Itisuniversallyconsideredimmoraltotreatfriendslikeacontractor(承包商),byaskingtopensate(弥补)forthelossestheycause.Friendshipisruledbywhatyoucandoforsomeoneelse,whilebusinessrelationshipbywhatyouhavetodo.

(普遍认为，像对待承包商一样要求朋友赔偿他们造成的损失是不道德的。友谊取决于你能为别人做什么，而商业关系取决于你必须做什么。)”可知，就作者看来要求金钱赔偿可能会破坏友谊即要求金钱赔偿可能会破坏友谊是常识。故选D。【26题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ifyoudowanttosavethefriendship,itmightbeworthaskingyourfriendwhatelsethisisaboutandseehowshewouldreact.Didshefeelyouwerecarelesswithherthings?Didshewishyou’dseemmoreupsetwhenthishappened,nevermindwhosefaultitwas?Wasthisjustoutofangerbecauseshereallymissedherson?Theremightbeallkindsofthingshereyoucouldhelpherfeel“pensatedfor”withouthavingtopaythecash.(如果你真的想挽救这段友谊，不妨问问你的朋友这件事背后是否还有其他原因，并观察她的反应。她是否觉得你对她的东西不够小心？她是否希望你当时能表现出更难过的样子，而不管是谁的错？这只是因为她非常想念儿子而生气吗？这里可能有很多种情况，你可以在不支付现金的情况下，帮助她感到“得到了补偿”。)”可以推断，有时候朋友可能更看重你的态度和反应，而不是你是否承认错误或付钱。因此，告诉她你感到更加难过，可能会在不付钱的情况下挽救友谊。故选B。【27题详解】推理判断题。通读全文，章讲述了一个朋友在帮助另一个朋友搬家过程中，不慎损坏了一幅画，而后者希望两人平分1200美元的修复费用。由此提出了两种处理方法：一是坚持认为在提供帮助时并未承担如此的经济责任；二是深入了解朋友的真正想法和感受，寻找不用金钱赔偿的其他弥补方式。作者认为，如何处理这一尴尬局面，将是对友谊的考验。文章主要讨论了如何处理因帮助朋友而产生的尴尬情况和如何挽回友谊，这些内容更贴近日常生活和人际关系，因此更可能出现在一个生活专栏中。故选C。CIt’sabalmysummerdayatthebeach—you’relyinginthesun,enjoyingthewaterandhangingoutwithfriends.Butsuddenly,youstarttofeelafamiliarpainbehindyourtemples(太阳穴),andyouwonder:whydoyoualwaysgetheadacheswhenit’shotout?Someresearchdoessuggestthatpeople’sratesofheadachesrisewhentemperaturesgoup.However,expertslikeDr.NolanPearson,aneurologyfellowwhospecializesinheadacheatCedarsSinaiMedicalCenterinLosAngeles,saidit’simportanttolookbeyondheattofindthereasonforsummertimeheadaches.“Weatherisverymoninthetopfivetriggers(诱因)thatpeopledoreport.But,Iwouldspeculatethatitmightbeactuallyduetothingsthatgoalongwithhotweatherratherthantheheatitself.”Mostresearchonheatandheadachesonlyshowsaconnectionbetweenthetwo.Forexample,astudymightlookathospitaladmissionratesforheadachesduringdifferentmonthsoftheyearandfindheadachesaremoremoninsummer.Butthatdoesn’tprovethatheatdirectlycausedthoseheadaches.Therecouldbeotherenvironmentalandlifestylechangesthathappenduringthesummer—likeairquality,lightexposureoractivitylevels.Therefore,Pearsonremendsthateachpersonwithheadacheshoneinonthesepossibletriggers,sincethesehavemoreresearchbehindthemandmaybeeasiertohandlethantheheatitself.Poorairqualityisawellknownheadachetrigger,andonemoneffectofheatwavesisthattheytendtomakeairqualityworse.Heatcancausesomechemicalelementsintheairtotransformintoozone(臭氧)andotherharmfulsubstances.Inaddition,windandairpressuresystemsdrivenbyhotweathercanmakepollutantslingerovercities,ratherthanfloataway.WarmermonthsalsoealongwithlongerdaysandgreaterUV(紫外线)exposure.Lightexposureandheadacheshaveaplicatedrelationship,though.Whilesomeresearchsuggeststhatbrightlightisn’taheadachetrigger,peoplewithmigraines(偏头痛)areoftensensitivetobrightlightsduringanattack.Soitmightbethatablazingsummersuncanmakeexistingheadachesworse.Ontopofallofthat,heatcandestroyaperson’ssleepschedule.“Good,restfulsleephappensmosteffectivelyinacolderenvironment,”Pearsonsaid.Whenanightofsleepisdisturbed—bybeingoverheated,forinstance—peoplearesignificantlymorelikelytoexperiencemigrainesandotherheadaches.28.Whatmaybethecauseofsummertimeheadaches?A.Thedirecteffectofheat.

“Good,restfulsleephappensmosteffectivelyinacolderenvironment,”Pearsonsaid.(最重要的是，高温会破坏一个人的睡眠时间表。皮尔逊说：“良好、宁静的睡眠在较冷的环境中最有效。”。)”，文章指出了良好睡眠的条件。因此，作者接下来可能会讨论如何在夏季采取有效的措施来改善睡眠，从而减轻或避免夏季头痛。故选A项。DTurnonalightoutsideatnightanditwon’tbelongbeforelotsofinsectsstartgatheringaroundit.Thisbehaviorhasledtoapopularparisonforattraction,“likeamothtoaflame.”However,accordingtoanewstudypublishedinthejournalNaturemunications,itturnsoutthatinsectsaren’t“attracted”toartificiallights,butratherconfusedbyit.Thenewfindingisbasedonatheoryaboutinsectorientation(定位).Duetotheirsmallandlightweightbodies,insectsexperiencelessairresistance,allowingthemtoachievehigheraccelerations(加速度),whichinturnmakesitchallengingforthemtosenseupanddownduringflight.So,theytypicallyrelyonstablelightsourceslikethemoonandstarstoorientthemselvesatnight,keepingtheskyattheirbackstostayupright.However,theintroductionofartificiallightsconfusestheirnaturalsenseofdirection.Theinsectsyouseecirclingstreetlights,inotherwords,areprobablylost.Toreachtheseconclusions,scientistsusedhighresolutioncamerastofilminsectsflyingaroundartificiallightsinCostaRica.Theyalsoattachedtinysensorstoinsectsandfilmedmotioncapturevideosoftheminflight.Inthisway,researcherscanslowdowntheinsectspaceandstudytheirmovementsingreaterdetail.Thevideosshowedinsectsturningtheirbackstowardsourcesofartificiallight—evenatthepriceofflippingoverorcrashing.Thiscanbedangerousforinsects,ascirclingaroundartificiallightscanputthematriskfromenemies,exhaustion,andstarvation,causingmanytodiebeforemorning.Nightartificiallightisamajorcauseofinsectpopulationloss,whichcouldseverelyimpactcroppollinationandfoodsuppliesforlargeranimals,includinghumans.“Insectshavebeenflyingaroundfor370millionyears,andit’sjustinthelast150yearsthatit’sreallygonewrongforthem,”saysentomologistSamuelFabianofImperialCollegeLondon.“Ifwedon’twanttoinfluencelargeamountsofinsectpopulations,weshouldnothavelightsshiningupintothesky.”32.Whathavescientistsfoundoutaboutinsects?A.Artificiallightscandisturbtheirsenseofdirection.B.Theirpopulationsareindecline.C.Theyoftenflyquicklyduringthenight.D.Theireyesightiswelladaptedtolightchanges.33.Howdidthescientistsconducttheexperiment?A.Bydetectingthelivingenvironmentofinsects.B.Bymonitoringtheinsects’brainactivityduringflight.C.Bymakingvideostostudyinsects’movements.D.Bybuildingmodelstoanalyzeinsects’motionpatterns.34.WhydoestheauthormentionFabian’swordsinthelastparagraph?A.Tostresstheimportanceofinsectstofoodsupplies.B.Toappealtopeopletoreducelightpollution.C.Toshowthereasonsforinsectsflyingaroundlights.D.Toexplaintheeffectsofinsects’deathonhumanlife.35.Whichisthemostsuitabletitleforthetext?A.HowArtificialLightsImpacttheEcosystemB.WhatLeadstotheLossofInsectPopulationsC.HowInsectsOrientThemselvesintheFlightD.WhyInsectsareAttractedtoLightsatNight【答案】32.A33.C34.B35.D【解析】【导语】本文是说明文。详细解释了昆虫为何会被夜间的灯光所吸引，揭示了背后的科学原因，并指出了这种现象对昆虫以及生态环境可能产生的影响。【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“Thenewfindingisbasedonatheoryaboutinsectorientation(定位).Duetotheirsmallandlightweightbodies,insectsexperiencelessairresistance,allowingthemtoachievehigheraccelerations(加速度),whichinturnmakesitchallengingforthemtosenseupanddownduringflight.So,theytypicallyrelyonstablelightsourceslikethemoonandstarstoorientthemselvesatnight,keepingtheskyattheirbackstostayupright.However,theintroductionofartificiallightsconfusestheirnaturalsenseofdirection.Theinsectsyouseecirclingstreetlights,inotherwords,areprobablylost.(这一新发现是基于昆虫定位的理论。由于昆虫体积小、重量轻，所受到的空气阻力较小，使它们能够获得更高的加速度，而这反过来又使它们在飞行中很难感知上下方向。因此，它们通常依靠稳定的光源，如月亮和星星，在夜间进行定位，保持天空在它们的背后，以保持身体直立。然而，人造光的引入扰乱了它们的自然方向感。换句话说，你看到在路灯周围盘旋的昆虫，可能迷失了方向。)”可知，关于昆虫，科学家们发现人造光会干扰它们的方向感。故选A项。【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Toreachtheseconclusions,scientistsusedhighresolutioncamerastofilminsectsflyingaroundartificiallightsinCostaRica.Theyalsoattachedtinysensorstoinsectsandfilmedmotioncapturevideosoftheminflight.Inthisway,researcherscanslowdowntheinsectspaceandstudytheirmovementsingreaterdetail.Thevideosshowedinsectsturningtheirbackstowardsourcesofartificiallight—evenatthepriceofflippingoverorcrashing.(为了得出这些结论，科学家们使用高分辨率摄像机拍摄了哥斯达黎加昆虫在人造光周围飞行的视频。他们还在昆虫身上附着了微型传感器，并拍摄了它们在飞行中的动作捕捉视频。通过这种方式，研究人员可以放慢昆虫的速度，更详细地研究它们的运动。视频显示，昆虫会背对人造光源，甚至不惜以翻身或坠落的代价。)”可知，科学家们通过制作视频来研究昆虫的运动进行实验的。故选C项。【34题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段““Insectshavebeenflyingaroundfor370millionyears,andit’sjustinthelast150yearsthatit’sreallygonewrongforthem,”saysentomologistSamuelFabianofImperialCollegeLondon.“Ifwedon’twanttoinfluencelargeamountsofinsectpopulations,weshouldnothavelightsshiningupintothesky.”(伦敦帝国理工学院的昆虫学家塞缪尔·法比安说：“昆虫已经飞行了3.7亿年，只是在过去的150年里，它们才真正出现了问题。”“如果我们不想影响大量的昆虫种群，我们就不应该让灯光照亮天空。”)”可知，此处法比安说如果我们不想影响大量的昆虫种群，我们就不应该让灯光照亮天空，所以是在呼吁人们减少光污染。故选B项。【35题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“Tunonalightoutsideatnight,anditwon’tbelongbeforelotsofinsectsstartgatheringaroundit.Thisbehaviorhasledtoapopularparisonforattraction,“likeamothtoaflame.”However,accordingtoanewstudypublishedinthejournalNaturemunications,itturnsoutthatinsec
