dinscience,technology,engineeringandmathematicscareers.(长期以来，人们一直认为，来自弱势背景的学生在科学、技术、工程和数学领域的代表性不足。)”可知人们通常认为一些弱势背景的学生对科学的参与度不够。故选B项。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Theseinitialfindingssuggestthatattemptstoincreasescienceparticipationamongyoungpeopleshouldnotsimplypromotethesubjectas“fun”or“interesting”.Instead,greaterimpactcouldbeachievedbydemonstratingclearlyhowsciencecanopenpossiblefuturecareeropportunities.(这些初步发现表明，增加年轻人的科学参与的尝试不应该简单地将这一主题推广为“令人愉快的”或“有趣的”。相反，通过清楚地展示科学如何打开未来可能的职业机会，可以获得更大的影响。)可知PIER项目将注意力更多地放在去展示科学的潜在价值上。故选C项。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Manyofthepupilstakingpartinthestudyunderstoodthatstudyingsciencecouldbeusefulbutfewcouldexplainwhy,suggestinganeedforgreatereducationaboutSTEMcareers.Aswellasbroadeningourunderstandingoftheissue,thePIERprojectissolvingtheproblemheadon.Theteamhascarriedoutavarietyofactivitieseachyearfortheparticipants,including“meetthescientists”events,tripstoUCLan’sAlstonObservatoryaswellasfamilyscienceeventsatschool.(许多参与这项研究的学生理解学习科学可能很有用，但很少有人能解释为什么，这表明需要对STEM职业进行更多的教育。除了扩大我们对这个问题的理解外，PIER项目也在正面解决这个问题。该团队每年为参与者开展各种活动，包括“与科学家见面”活动、前往乌克兰的奥尔斯顿天文台以及在学校举办的家庭科学活动。)”可知这支团队举办各种活动的目的是为了提高学生对STEM职业的理解。故选D项。【15题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“TheScienceandTechnologyFacilitiesCouncil(STFC)andUniversityofCentralLanca-shire(UCLan)sharefindingsofaprojecttoimprovestudentengagementwithscience,technology,engineeringandmathematics(STEM).(科学和技术设施委员会和中央兰卡郡大学分享了一个项目的发现，以提高学生对科学、技术、工程和数学(stem)的参与度。)”以及最后一段““Muchgovernmentpolicytowardsboostingscienceinhighereducationfocusesonanassumedlackofinterestanddesireinlow-socioeconomicgroups.”However,theenthusiasmisalreadythereandthis“hiddenscienceidentity”needstoberevealedandtranslatedintoreal-lifeprospectsfortheseyoungpeople.We’rerecommendingthatprogramsinsteadallowyoungpeopletoexploretheirscienceidentitymorefullyandprovideinnovativewaystodiscoverthejobsthatstudyingsciencemayleadto.(“政府促进高等教育科学的政策都集中在低社会经济群体兴趣和欲望的缺乏上。”然而，这种热情已经存在，这种“隐藏的科学身份”需要被揭示出来，并转化为这些年轻人的现实生活前景。我们建议这个项目让年轻人更充分地探索他们的科学身份，并提供创新的方式来发现研究科学可能带来的工作。)”以及其他三段的主要内容可知文章主要是在围绕着PIER项目如何帮助贫穷的学生更多地从事科学活动展开的。D项“PIER项目帮助贫困学生从事科学研究”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选D项。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。Haveyouevergonetoamuseumorashowandbeencompletelyblownawaybyapiece?Ifyouhaven’t,gooutandgetcultured.I’mastudentattheCollegeofVisualandPerformingArtswherewecreateallkindsofarteveryday.____16____ButIdon’tthinkthosepeopletrulyknowthedifficultiesandstrugglesintheprocessofmakingart.Firstofall,weneedtobeinspired.Youmaythinkthat’seasy.Infact,anythingcanserveasaconceptofaworkofart.____17____Sometimeswewillneedpeople,volunteers,bodiestodosoandfindingwillingpeopletoworkishard.Othertimeswehaveaclearideaofwhatwewantbutwedon’tknowhowtomakeotherpeoplefullyunderstandwhatwe’retryingtogetat.____18____Weneedaspacetobeabletobecreativeandthatcanbetrickytoacquire.Sometimesweneedartsuppliesorcertainequipmentandcostumesandthatcancostmoney.Evenifwedoacquirewhatweneed,visionschangeandmistakeshappensowemightnotendupusingtheresources.Theprocesscantakeweeks,months,andevenyearstobefullyrealized.Oncecompleted,weneedtoshareitandfindanaudienceandprovideanenvironmenttodisplayourwork.____19____Whatifnobodylikeswhatwecreated?Whatifourvisionisn’twhatwethoughtthoughcompleted?Creatingartisanartinitself.Itisreallynotaseasyasmanypeoplethink.____20____It’showweexpressourselvesandhowwecommunicatewiththerestoftheworld.A.Outsidersthinkourjobseasy.B.Weshouldbequietandcreative.C.Wemightchooseotherfieldsaswell.D.Resourcesarealsoahugefactorinmakingart.E.Thehardpartcomeswhenweputourideasintoreality.F.Andthenegativethoughtslovetooverpowerourminds.G.Ittakestime,patienceandspacewhenthingsdon’tgoasexpected.【答案】16.A17.E18.D19.F20.G【解析】【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章开篇提出很多人认为艺术创作的工作很简单，但作者认为这些外行人士不懂艺术创作的艰难之处，并从艺术创作的灵感、资源、时间等方面论述艺术创作工作的不易，最后总结出艺术创作本身就是一件艺术，需要耐心、时间、空间。【16题详解】上文“I’mastudentattheCollegeofVisualandPerformingArtswherewecreateallkindsofarteveryday.(我是一名视觉与表演艺术学院的学生，每天都在创作各种各样的艺术作品)”，下文“ButIdon’tthinkthosepeopletrulyknowthedifficultiesandstrugglesintheprocessofmakingart.(但是我认为那些人并不是真正了解艺术创作过程中的艰辛。)”，说明中间设空处需要填一个意思与其相反相对的表达。A项“Outsidersthinkourjobseasy.(外人认为我们的工作很容易。)”恰好与之对应，下文的thosepeople指代A项中的Outsiders，下文的difficult也与A项中的easy对应。故选A项。【17题详解】上文“Firstofall,weneedtobeinspired.Youmaythinkthat’seasy.Infact,anythingcanserveasaconceptofaworkofart.(首先，我们需要灵感。你可能认为这很容易。事实上，任何东西都可以作为艺术作品的概念。)”提到了艺术创作需要灵感，而任何东西都可以作为艺术作品的概念，这是容易的部分。而下文“Sometimeswewillneedpeople,volunteers,bodiestodosoandfindingwillingpeopletoworkishard.(有时我们需要人、志愿者、人模来做这些，而找到愿意做这些工作的人很难。)”提到很难找到愿意做这些工作的人，属于艺术创作工作中难的部分。因此中间需要有过度，E项“Thehardpartcomeswhenweputourideasintoreality.(我们要把想法变为实际时，困难就来了。)”恰好能把上下文衔接起来。故选E项。【18题详解】本题设空处位于段首，根据下文“Weneedaspacetobeabletobecreativeandthatcanbetrickytoacquire.Sometimesweneedartsuppliesorcertainequipmentandcostumesandthatcancostmoney.Evenifwedoacquirewhatweneed,visionschangeandmistakeshappensowemightnotendupusingtheresources.(我们需要一个能够发挥创造力的空间，而这很难获得。有时我们需要一些艺术用品或某些设备和服装，这需要花钱。即使我们获得了我们需要的东西，我们的想法会发生变化，错误也会随之出现，所以我们可能最终不会使用这些资源。)”可知，整段内容都在讲艺术创作需要用到的资源，故段首句需要含括整段内容。结合选项可知，D项“Resourcesarealsoahugefactorinmakingart.(资源也是艺术创作的一个重要因素。)”一方面能概括整段内容，另一方面also与第二段的firstofall对应。故选D项。【19题详解】上文“Theprocesscantakeweeks,months,andevenyearstobefullyrealized.Oncecompleted,weneedtoshareitandfindanaudienceandprovideanenvironmenttodisplayourwork.(这个过程可能需要几周、几个月、甚至几年的时间才能完全实现。一旦完成，我们需要分享它，找个观众，并提供一个环境来展示我们的作品。)”提到了作品完成后会做的事情；下文“Whatifnobodylikeswhatwecreated?Whatifourvisionisn’twhatwethoughtthoughcompleted?(如果没有人喜欢我们创造的东西怎么办？如果我们的想法并不如我们所想的那样完成了呢？)”是对完成作品后可能出现问题的假设，且都是一些消极的想法，F项“Andthenegativethoughtslovetooverpowerourminds.(我们的大脑里总是充斥着各种消极的想法。)”恰好与下文的消极设问对应。故选F项。【20题详解】上文“Creatingartisanartinitself.Itisreallynotaseasyasmanypeoplethink.(艺术创作本身就是一种艺术。这真的不像许多人想的那么容易。)”总结性地提到了艺术创作并不是那么容易的；下文“It’showweexpressourselvesandhowwecommunicatewiththerestoftheworld.(它是我们表达自我的方式，也是我们与世界交流的方式。)”总结了艺术创作对从事艺术的人的意义，故中间同样需要一句总结性的话语，表明艺术创作的不易。G项“Ittakestime,patienceandspacewhenthingsdon’tgoasexpected.(当事情不像预期那样发展时，需要时间、耐心和空间。)”恰好总结了前面几段的内容，符合文意。故选G项。第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节（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。TheCajunNavyisagroupofvolunteersmallboatownerswhohelppeopleduringbadstormsandfloods.Thegroup____21____volunteeringduringHurricaneKatrina.Duringthatstormalone,they____22____morethan10,000peoplefromfloodedhomesandrooftops!Sincethen,theyhavesavedmore____23____aroundtheUS!TheCajunNavyhasgonetosaveduringmanyoftheworst____24____thathittheUS,suchasHurricaneHarveyandHurricaneFlorence.Usingtheir____25____,theyalwaysgointoplaceswherepeopleandanimalsaretrappedbyfloodwaters.Theybringtheirsmallboatsandgreatskillstofindthosewhoare____26____andthenthey____27____themtosafety.Howstrongand____28____theyareinstrugglingwithfloodwaters!Manyofthevolunteersarefishermenand____29____boatpilots.They,whocomefromthesoutheastUnitedStates,areexpertin____30____throughaseriesofswamps(沼泽)andnarrowwaterways.Theskillstheyhavehelpthemfindthewayaround____31____floodwaters.Areporter____32____hisfeelingsandmeanwhile____33____themaftertheCajunNavysteppedintohelpduringbadfloodinginLouisiana.“The____34____werevolunteersfromtheCajunNavy,whohadnoranks,nouniforms,no____35____medalsawardedtothemforactsofbravery.Itwasa(n)____36____heart,notacommandingofficer,thatcalledthemintorisky____37____tocarryendangeredcitizenstohigherandsaferground,”hesaid.TheCajunNavyisagreatexampleofcharacterinaction.Theydoalso____38____others.Andmoreandmorevolunteersjointhegroup.Theyoftenputthemselvesindangerto____39____others.Andtheydonotdoitformoneyorattention,but____40____becausetheycanhelpandtheywanttohelp.21.A.improved
