onlyoneuseraccountperhousehold.Allmembersofafamilywillbepartofoneaccount.首次用户将创建一个用户帐户，以注册为秋季研讨会的参与者。请每个家庭只创建一个用户帐户。一个家庭的所有成员都将是一个帐户的一部分。可知家庭参与者被要求做创建一个注册帐户；故答案为B。3．细节理解题。根据WorkshopT-shirts:$18,orderby10/18.工作坊t恤:$18,10/18前订购。可知订购t恤的截止日期10/18；故答案为A。【答案】4．D5．D6．B7．B【解析】【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。报道了热情的吉他手尼克·罗斯-斯塔米为学校的孩子创造了很多的音乐机会。

【点评】考查阅读理解。涉及推理判断题，细节理解题。解答推理判断题要根据原文中的信息与选项信息结合起来进行正确推断，得出答案；解答细节理解题要完全符合原文，不能主观臆断。4．细节理解题。根据Workinginthenonprofitartseducationsectoroverthelast10yearsraisedhisawarenessofthelackof

musicprogramsinpublicschools,andlaterinspiredhisnonprofit,BandinaBus."在过去的10年里，他在非营利艺术教育部门工作，这让他意识到公立学校缺乏音乐课程，后来启发了他的非营利组织"巴士乐队"。可知音乐教育不足；故答案为D。5．推理判断题。根据Kids18andundercanalsoparticipateinenrichingsummerprogramsthroughBandinaBus,suchas

BucketBrigade,fiveweeklyclasseswheregradesK-4learnrhythm(节奏)andSTEAM(science,technology,engineering,

arts,mathematics)principlesthroughcontemporarymusic.18岁以下的孩子们也可以通过"BandinaBus"参加丰富暑期活动，例如，K-4年级学生通过现代音乐学习节奏(节奏)和STEAM(科学、技术、工程、艺术、数学)原理的每周5次的"BucketBrigade"。可知他们把音乐和其他科目结合起来；故答案为D。6．推理判断题。根据WhenschoolswentvirtualduringtheCOVID-19period,Rose-Stameythoughtitwasashamethat

instrumentswereleftsittingonshelvesinsteadofinthehandsofkids.Sohecreatedanddistributedmorethan1,000"BandinaBox"DIYkits.Eachkitcontainssmallnoisemakerslikekazoos,drumsticks,andshakers,withtheintentionofintroducingamodernizedmusicclassexperiencethatmeetskidswheretheyare.在新冠疫情期间，当学校采用虚拟教学时，罗斯-斯塔米认为乐器被放在架子上而不是孩子们手中是一种耻辱。因此，他创造并分发了1000多个"盒子里的乐队"DIY工具包。每个工具包都包含卡祖笛，鼓槌和摇瓶等小噪音制造者，旨在引入现代化的音乐课体验，满足孩子们的需求。可知"盒子里的乐队"的目的是帮助学生在家里接触音乐；故答案为B。7．推理判断题。根据Inthelastyear,BandinaBushasworkeddirectlywithmorethan500students."Musicisawin-winfor

everybody,"Rose-Stameysays."Ijusthopethatsomedaywecanstopmakingitthefirstkidoutinthedodgeball(躲避球)game."去年，巴士乐队直接与500多名学生合作。"音乐对每个人来说都是双赢，"罗斯-斯塔米说。"我只是希望有一天我们能够不再让它成为躲避球游戏中的第一个出局的孩子。"可知我们应该给予音乐足够的重视；故答案为B。【答案】8．D9．B10．B11．C【解析】【分析】这是一篇研究报道。报道了寒鸦不同寻常的叫声其实是他们在"投票"做出集体决定。

【点评】考查阅读理解。涉及推理判断题，细节理解题和主旨大意题。解答推理判断题要根据原文中的信息与选项信息结合起来进行正确推断，得出答案；解答细节理解题要完全符合原文，不能主观臆断；解答主旨大意题时需要根据文章的结构和选项来判断出正确答案。8．细节理解题。根据AteamoftheCornishJackdawProjectsetouttodeterminewhyjackdawsaresonoisybeforetheydepart

fromtheirsleepingspot.康沃尔寒鸦项目的一个小组开始研究为什么寒鸦在离开睡觉的地方之前会发出这么大的噪音。可知它们不寻常的叫声让科学家感到困惑；故答案为D。9．推理判断题。根据Totestthisidea,theresearchersartificiallyincreasedthelevelofcallsduringthejackdaws'natural

morningcalls.Theirexpectationwasthat,ifjackdawsreallyare"votingwiththeirvoice"todecidewhentodepartthesleepingsite,artificiallyaddingcallswouldmakethemleaveearlierthantheynaturallywouldhavedone.Subsequentexperimentsconfirmedtheirexpectation.Theteamthereforeshowedthatjackdawsusetheircallsasasortofvotingsystem.为了验证这一观点，研究人员人为地增加了寒鸦自然鸣叫时的叫声水平。他们的预期是，如果寒鸦真的"用声音投票"来决定何时离开睡觉的地方，人为地增加叫声会使它们比自然情况下更早离开。随后的实验证实了他们的预期。因此，研究小组表明，寒鸦把它们的叫声作为一种投票系统。可知当添加人工叫声时，寒鸦他们会更早地离开了睡觉的地方；故答案为B。10．细节理解题。根据Theresearcherssuggestthatindividualjackdawsbenefitfromthevotingsystembecausetheyarelessat

riskofbeingkilledandtheycangetmoreaccesstosocialinformation—suchaswheretofindfood.研究人员认为，个别寒鸦从投票系统中受益，因为它们被杀死的风险更小，而且它们可以获得更多的社会信息——比如在哪里可以找到食物。可知投票制度对个别寒鸦意味着一个更好生存的策略；故答案为B。11．主旨大意题。根据文章的结构：第一段Despitebeingfairlylow-volumeduringtheday,theyarereallyloudoneithersideof

theirnight-timeget-togethers.Whymightthisbe?（提出问题）尽管白天的声音很小，但在晚上聚会的时候，他们的声音非常大。为什么会这样呢?第二段heresearcherssuspectedthateachindividual'scallmightcountasan"I'min!".Whenacertain

amountof"I'min!"sarecalled—andsoacertainvolumeofnoiseisreached-thegroupmightthendepartasaunit.（分析研究问题）研究人员怀疑，每个人的呼叫都可能被视为"我加入了!"．当"I'min!"的声音达到一定的音量时，这群人就会作为一个整体离开。第三段Subsequentexperimentsconfirmedtheirexpectation.Theteamthereforeshowedthatjackdawsusetheir

callsasasortofvotingsystem.（解决问题）随后的实验证实了他们的预期。因此，研究小组表明，寒鸦把它们的叫声作为一种投票系统。可知这篇文章最佳标题为：寒鸦"投票"做出集体决定；故答案为C。【答案】12．B13．C14．A15．A【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。介绍了奥吉维女士的书《字典人物》。

【点评】考查阅读理解。涉及推理判断题，细节理解题和词义猜测题。解答推理判断题要根据原文中的信息与选项信息结合起来进行正确推断，得出答案；解答细节理解题要完全符合原文，不能主观臆断；解答词义猜测题时需要根据文章的上下文和选项来判断出正确答案。12．细节理解题。根据Volunteersreadwidely,mailinginexamplesofhow"rare,old-fashioned,new"wordswereused.志愿者们广泛阅读，邮寄"罕见的，过时的，新的"词汇的例子。可知他们列举了词汇用法变化的例子；故答案为B。13．推理判断题。根据MsOgilvie,aneditorfortheOED,wentintothearchives(档案馆)ofOxfordUniversityPressandcame

acrossanoldnotebook.IthadbelongedtoMurrayandcontainedthenamesanddetailsofthedictionaryvolunteers,mostofwhomhadpreviouslybeenunknown."TheDictionaryPeople"isherworkofdetectivescholarship,presentingthelivesbehindthenames.奥吉尔维女士是《牛津英语词典》的编辑，她走进牛津大学出版社的档案馆(档案馆)，偶然发现了一本旧笔记本。它属于默里，里面有词典志愿者的名字和详细信息，他们中的大多数人以前都不为人知。"《字典人物》是她的侦探学术作品，展示了这些名字背后的生活。可知第三段主要告诉我们是什么激发了奥吉维写《字典人物》这本书；故答案为C。14．词义猜测题。根据上文Forsome,thedictionarywassomethingaddictive:onecontributorsupplied165,061quotations.对一些人来说，这本词典是令人上瘾的：一位撰稿人提供了165061条引文。以及下文HeoncewrotetoGeorgeEliottoaskabouta

wordchoicein"Romola",published17yearsearlier.他曾写信给乔治·艾略特，询问他17年前出版的《罗摩拉》中的一个用词。可知穆雷也很勤奋。assiduous的意思为：勤勉的，勤奋的；故答案为A。15．推理判断题。根据MsOgilvie'sbookisfullofstrangebutinterestingtales.Manydictionaryloversengagedinanother

crowdsourcingfashion:collectingandmeasuringrainwater.Thepresentationofthebookisirregular,too,takingitsstructurefromtheworkitdescribes.Forexample,inherfirstchapter,"AforArchaeologist(考古学家),"sherelatestheearlylife

agroupofcontributors.Thisisacleverconcept.奥吉维女士的书里充满了奇怪但有趣的故事。许多词典爱好者参与了另一种众包时尚:收集和测量雨水。这本书的呈现也是不规则的，它的结构来自于它所描述的工作。例如，在她的第一章"AForArchaeologist"

中，她讲述了埃及古物学家先驱MargaretA.Murray的早期生活。全书有26个按字母顺序排列的章节，每个章节都颂扬一组贡献者。这是一个聪明的想法。可知作者认为奥吉尔维女士的书有趣且富有创意；故答案为A。【答案】16．E；17．A；18．D；19．C；20．F【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。介绍了走出孤独的方法。

【点评】考查任务型阅读，属于七选五，解题关键在看懂文章，注意上下文的提示词或重复的关键词，认真阅读选项，选出恰当的答案，最后再通读全文进行检查。16．根据上文Ifyouknowwhat'smeaningfulorfunforyou,itmayleadyoutoanactivityorcreativeoutlet.如果你知道什么对你来说是有意义的或有趣的，它可能会把你带到一个活动或创造性的出口。可知空白处需要强调主题句：这样就容易把你与和你有共同爱好的人联系起来；选项Thatcertainlyconnectsyoutopeoplewhoshareyourinterests.这当然会把你和和你有共同兴趣的人联系起来。符合题意；故答案为E。17．根据标题Makesomething创作某物，以及下文创造性表达的机会是无穷无尽的。可知空白处需要主题句：每个人都有创造力；选项Everyonecanbe"Picasso".每个人都可以成为"毕加索"。符合题意；故答案为A。18．根据标题Takeariskbyhavingconversations冒险进行对话；以及上文Sharesomethingaboutyourself.分享一些关于你自己的事情。和下文Itcanjustbesomethingyouthinkotherpeoplemightfindinterestingandcompelling,andseewhereitgoes.它可以是你认为其他人可能会觉得有趣和吸引人的东西，然后看看它会走向何方。可知空白处需要补充说明可以分享的内容是什么；选项Itdoesn'thavetobethebiggestsecretofyourlife.它不必是你生命中最大的秘密。符合题意；故答案为D。19．根据下文Whetherit'svolunteeringforacauseyoubelieveinorplayingfrisbeeorScrabble,trytofindotherswhoshare
