参考答案

1.答案：C

解析：细节理解题。根据第二段ParticipationisBentoall3-5"graderslivinginWestern

Colorado,andstudentscaneitherenterasanindividualorasateamofnomorethan

3members.（所有居住在科罗拉多州西部的3-5年级学生都可以参加，学生可以作为个人

或不超过3人的团队参加。）可知科学展览的入场条件是所有参赛者必须来自科罗拉

多州西部。故选C。

2.答案：A

解析：细节理解题。根据ProjectSubmission部分^Createadisplayposter（either

physicalorelectronic）summarizingtheirprojectandemailthefileoraclearphotoofitto

thesciencefaircommittee（制作一张展示海报（物理或电子），总结他们的项目，并将文

件或清晰的照片通过电子邮件发送给科学博览会委员会）可知在提交日期之前，参赛者

需要提交一张展示海报。故选A。

3.答案：C

解析：细节理解题。根据SafetyRegulations部分Westronglyrecommendthatguardians

lookupandstudySafetyDataSheetsforanychemicalsthattheirstudentsuse,andhave

responsibilityfornotallowingstudentstoexperimentwithdangerouschemicals.（我们强烈

建议监护人查阅并研究学生使用的任何化学品的安全数据表，并有责任不让学生尝试危

险化学品。）可知会导致你的项目不被展示的是在项目中使用有害化学物质。故选

Co

4.答案：D

解析：细节理解题。第一段'WritingwasthelastthingIwantedtodo；ifsonereason

whyIpursuedscienceinthefirstplace.（写作是我最不想做的事；这也是我当初选择学

习科学的原因之一。）"，可知当被要求写研究论文时，作者是不情愿的，选D。

5.答案：C

解析：细节理解题。第二段"Myteacherswouldreturnmypaperslitteredwithred,

showingmyparagraphswereoutoforder.（我的老师会把满是红笔批改痕迹的论文还给

我，表明我的段落顺序混乱。）"，说明作者的写作缺乏条理，所以老师的批改痕迹多，选

Co

6.答案：A

解析：推理判断题。第三段"Ispentweekssettingupatestforanewdesign.WhenIgot

theresults,though,thenumbersweren'tgood.Ikepttryingnewdesigns,usingtheresultsto

brainstormideaswithateamofresearchers.Finally,afterdozensofdesigns,wehadonethat

couldwork.（我花了几周时间为新设计做测试。然而，当我得到结果时，数据并不理想。

我不断尝试新的设计，利用结果与一组研究人员集思广益。最后，经过几十次设计，我们

得到了一个可行的方案。）"，可知作者的最终研究设计是经过多次尝试和努力才得到

的，用"Hard-earned（来之不易的）"描述最合适，选A。

7.答案：D

解析：推理判断题。作者在写论文过程中，从最初的抗拒、混乱，到不断修改，就像研究

设计一样,经过多次尝试和错误，最终成功，这体现了不断尝试和从错误中学习能带来进

步,"Trialanderroropensthedoortoprogress.（反复试验是进步之门。）"符合文意，选

Do

8.答案：C

解析：细节理解题。第二段提到当学生们立即开始任务时,他们倾向于提出传统想法，

而当被随机分配拖延任务去玩游戏时,他们产生了更多新颖的商业想法。这表明拖延一

项任务能给我们在行动前思考的时间，从而可能产生更有创意的想法,所以选C。

9.答案：C

解析：推理判断题。第四段提到经典研究中,先驱者（先行动者）失败率为47%,而后

来者（行动慢的人）失败率仅8%,后来者市场占有率平均为28%,高于先驱者的10%。

这说明后来者（settlers）的成功并非偶然，而是他们懂得等待合适的时机,是战略时机选

择的结果,所以选C。

10.答案：B

解析：主旨大意题。文章开头提出JihaeShin的相反观点"procrastinationmightbe

favorabletooriginality（拖延可能有利于创造力）”,接着通过实验和经典研究进行论证,

说明拖延能带来创新，所以文章主要目的是证明拖延可以成为创造力的一种来源，选Bo

11.答案：A

解析：推理判断题。第一段提到的两个声明，一个呼吁暂停超越GPT能力的AI系统发

展，担心其会带来非人类思维超越并取代人类的后果；另一个将减轻AI导致灭绝的风

险与大流行病和核战争等社会大规模风险并列,作为全球优先事项。这都表明AI所具

有的潜在能力引发了人们的担忧,所以选A。

12.答案：B

解析：推理判断题。文章第三段提至『"WecanalsolookoutforthemanywaysAItools

canhelpusfixthehardproblemshumanitysimplyhasn'tbeenabletosolve.（我彳门也可以

寻找AI工具能帮助我们解决人类一直无法解决的难题的多种方法。）"，而气候变化是

人类面临的重大难题之一,所以作者可能会认同AI也许可以应用于处理气候变化问题，

选B。

13.答案：A

解析：词义猜测题。前文提到讲述AI故事的是动机复杂且情商低的天才们,"Who

startswithextinction?（谁会以灭绝为开头呢？）"表明他们讲述AI故事的方式并不好，所

以"lousy"应表示"糟糕的","awful"有"糟糕的"之意，所以选A。

14.答案：D

解析：标题归纳题。文章既阐述了人们对AI的担忧，如可能导致灭绝、社会破坏等，又

强调应从更积极的角度看待AI,思考我们对AI的态度及担忧是否基于正当理由,D选项

”我们是否因为正当理由而讨厌AI?”能够涵盖文章主要内容,所以选D。

15.答案：

Theauthordecidedtomaketherepair.

解析：细节理解题。文章第一段明确提到"So,whenfacedwithabrokenhoe（锄头）,I

decidedtomaketherepair,justlikegrandpawouldhavedone.",所以作者决定对坏掉的锄

头进行修理。

16.答案：

Alongwithhishammer,grandpapasseddowntheimportanceofhavingtherighttoolsfora

job.

解析：细节理解题。从第三段"Alongwithhishammer,grandpapasseddownthe

importanceofhavingtherighttoolsforajob."可知，爷爷传给作者他的锤子,同时还传递了

做一份工作要有合适工具的重要性。

17.答案：

Therollingpininthefriend'sfamilyusedtobeaweddinggiftandispasseddownwitha

traditionofcollectingusefultools.

Therollingpininthefriend'sfamilyusedtobeaweddinggiftandispasseddownwitha

traditionofpiemakingandbiscuitrolling.

解析：细节比对题。原文中提到"Therollingpinstartedasaweddinggiftmany

generationsago.Lovinglypasseddown,alongwithatraditionofpiemakingandbiscuit

rolling",表明擀面杖是随着做派和擀饼干的传统一起传承下来的，并非"collectinguseful

tools”（收集有用工具）。

18.答案:

Mycamera.Itwasagiftformytenthbirthdayfrommyparents.Sincethen,ithasbeena

faithfulcompanionthrougheveryjoyfulmomentasIgrowup.Fromfamilyvacationsto

backyardadventures,itcapturedsmilesofmylovedones,thebreathtakingsunsets,andmy

firstbikeride,preservingavisualdiaryofmyhappiestmemories.

解析：开放性题目。答案需围绕某一物品见证成长中的欢乐或心碎时刻展开，阐述合理

原因。这里以相机为例,解释了它作为十岁生日礼物，记录了成长中的诸多欢乐场景。

19.答案：E；C；F；G；D

解析：①逻辑衔接题：前文提到"Imightnotbefluentyet.（我可能还不流利）"，而后

文开始阐述学习新语言的好处,E选项"However,accordingtotheexperts,mydaily

lessonshavefar-reachingsignificance.（然而，根据专家的说法，我每天的课程有深远的意

义）”起到了承上启下的作用,既与前文的不流利形成转折，又引出后文学习语言的益处,

所以选E。

②段落拓展题：该段主要论述学习新语言对认知健康的帮助，前文提到“Thebenefitsgo

beyondprotectingthebrainagainsttheeffectsofaging.（好处不仅仅是保护大脑免受衰老

的影响）",C选项"Expertsalsonotethatlanguagelearningcanhelppromotesocial

connections.（专家还指出，学习语言有助于促进社会联系）"进一步拓展了学习语言的

好处，符合段落内容的递进逻辑，所以选Co

③细节呼应题：前文提到"abigpartofthereasonwhyifssotoughcomesdowntoour

self-consciousness.（学习新语言困难的很大一部分原因归结于我们的自我意识）",F选

项"Feelinganxiouscanstandinthewayofourprogresswhenlearninganewlanguage.（学

习新语言时,焦虑感会阻碍我们的进步）"中的"anxious"与"self-consci
