【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测，推理判断和主旨大意四个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。4．考查细节理解。根据第一段"PaulWittgensteinhadbeenbornintoanupper-classAustrianfamilyonNovember5,1887.Hegrewupinamansionfullofactivityandmusic.Hisgreat-uncle,JosefJoachim,wasafamousviolinist,andasayouth,Pauloftenaccompaniedhimonthepiano.HealsostudiedwithTeodorLeschetizky,whohadtaughtmanygreatpianists."1887年11月5日，PaulWittgenstein出生在奥地利的一个上流社会家庭。他在一个充满活力和音乐的豪宅里长大。他的叔祖父JosefJoachim是一位著名的小提琴家，年轻时，Paul经常用钢琴为他伴奏。他还师从教过许多伟大的钢琴家的TeodorLeschetizky。可知，Paul出生在一个充满音乐的上层阶级家庭，有音乐家亲戚和教出了很多音乐家的老师教导他学习音乐和钢琴，因此他有各种学习音乐的途径，评论家门预测他前途光明，故选B。5．考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的"Atfirst,thethoughtofplayingthepianowithonehandseemedacrueljoke."起初，单手弹钢琴的想法似乎是一个残酷的笑话。可知，Paul只有一只手臂了，由此可推测出医生切掉了他受伤的手臂，划线词amputate意为"切掉"，故选A。6．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的"Hisdepressionturnedtodetermination,andhedecidedthathismissingrightarmwouldn'tendhismusiccareer."他的沮丧变成了决心，他决定失去右臂不会结束他的音乐生涯；以及第四段中的"Paul'sstrongdeterminationtoplayconcertmusicinspiredgreatcomposerstocreateworksintendedforthelefthand.Theyweretouchedbyhiscourageandexcitedbythechallengeofwritingmusicforaone-handedpianist."Paul演奏音乐会音乐的坚定决心激发了伟大的作曲家创作左手作品。他们被他的勇气所感动，为一个单手钢琴家创作音乐的挑战而兴奋。可知，Paul在失去一只手臂的情况下，勇敢面对困难，坚定决心，坚持不懈练习钢琴追求理想，因此应该用"勇敢"和"意志坚定"来形容他。故选B。7．考查主旨大意。纵观全文可知，本文介绍了主人公在失去一只手臂后坚持不懈成为若名钢琴家的故事，一只手臂为贯穿全文的线索，故选D。【答案】8．C9．C10．D11．D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了疫情推动成年人玩具市场在疫情后的增长及其原因。【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和段落大意三个题型的考查，是一篇社会现象类阅读，通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。8．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"Ages18andolderrepresented14%ofU.S.toyindustrysales,or$5.7billionin2022.Itgrew19%comparedwiththatin2021,accordingtotheNPDGroupInc.,amarketresearchfirm."年龄在18岁及以上的人占美国玩具行业销售额的14%，即5美元。到2022年将达到70亿美元。根据市场研究公司NPDGroupInc.的数据，与2021年相比，这一数字增长了19%。可知，2022年成年人玩具销售额比前一年增长19%，增速排在第二。可推知其增长巨大。故选C。9．考查段落大意。根据第三段"Lastyear,Build-a-BearlaunchedawebsitecalledBearCaveforthe18-year-oldandover,highlightingitemsliketoyrabbitsholdingabottleofwine.AndBasicFuntookahigh-techonthetraditionalLiteBritetoyfromthe1960sandrecreateditaswallartwiththousandsofpegsand45LEDlightsaimedattheadultsintimefortheholidays-witha$99pricetag.McDonald'stappedintothisgroup,releasingadultHappyMealsinOctoberwithtoysdesignedbythefashionbrandCactusPlantFleaMarket."去年，Build-a-Bear为18岁及以上的人推出了一个名为BearCave的网站，突出展示了举着一瓶葡萄酒的玩具兔子等项目。BasicFun在20世纪60年代的传统LiteBrite玩具上采用了高科技，用数千个挂钩和45个LED灯将其重新制作成墙上的艺术品，目标是赶上假期的成年人，价格为99美元。McDonald利用了这一群体，在10月份推出了成人开心乐园餐，里面有由时尚品牌CactusPlantFleaMarket设计的玩具。可知，Build-a-Bear、BasicFun以及McDonald等多家大公司都上市了针对成年人的产品，可推知，本段讲述的是一些大公司发布的一些针对成年人的产品。故选C。10．考查细节理解。根据第四段中的"‘AllofthosegameshavebroughtmecomfortwhenIwasakid,but,youknow,sortofchangedyouatdifferenttimeswhenyouneededit,'shesaid.‘Andyouneededit.'""当我还是个孩子的时候，所有这些游戏都给我带来了安慰，但是，你知道，在不同的时候，当你需要它的时候，它会改变你，"她说。"你需要它。"可知LorenBrereton可以从玩具中获得安慰，而且现在需要这种安慰。故选D。11．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"Butallthestressesfromthehealthproblemsstimulated(刺激)andstrengthenedthetrend,accordingtoJimSilver,editor-in-chiefofatoyreviewsite."但一家玩具评论网站的主编吉姆•西尔弗说，健康问题带来的压力刺激并加强了这一趋势。可知，JimSilver认为疫情带来的健康问题给人们极大压力，刺激和加强了成年人从玩具中寻求安慰的趋势；以及最后一段"‘Thepandemiccertainlyservedasastimulusforthistrendasadultsfoundthemselvesstuckathomewithnothingelsetodowithalotoftimeintheirhands,'saidGenevieveCruz,seniordirectoratLego,‘Butwedobelievethatthetrendgoesbeyondthepandemic.'"乐高高级主管吉纳维芙·克鲁兹说:"疫情肯定是这种趋势的刺激因素，因为成年人发现自己被困在家里，没有其他事情可做，手里有很多时间。但我们确实认为，这种趋势超越了疫情。"可知，GenevieveCruz认为疫情是这种趋势的促进因素。可推知，他们都赞成的是疫情是促使着这种趋势的发展。故选D。【答案】12．A13．B14．A15．D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了人们从海螺中听到大海的声音的原因。

【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断测和主旨大意两个题型的考查，是一篇科研类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。12．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"Popularasthisbloodtheoryis,itdoesn'tholdwater.‘Pressyoureartoashellandlisten,thenrunaroundonthebeachforafewminutestoincreasethebloodflowallthroughyourbody,andagainlistentoyourmagicshell,'Kruszelnickiwrote.‘You'llfindthattheloudnessofthe‘soundoftheseaisstillthesame.'"尽管这种血液理论很受欢迎，但它站不住脚。Kruszelnicki写道："把你的耳朵贴在贝壳上听，然后在海滩上跑几分钟，增加全身的血液流量，然后再听你神奇的贝壳。"你会发现"大海之声"的响度还是一样的。可知，人们运动之后听到的声音没有改变，所以bloodtheory是不成立的。可推知，作者对"血液理论"持反对态度。故选A。13．考查推理判断。根据第五段"‘Youarehearingsurroundingorbackgroundnoisethathasbeenincreasedinamplitude(振幅)bythephysicalcharacteristicoftheseashell,'Kingexplained,‘thespecificsoundswehearwithinashelldependontheexactshapeofitself-thehard,curvedsurfacesinsidetheshellcausethesoundwavesthatentertobouncearound,increasingsomefrequencieswhilereducingothers.'""你听到的周围或背景噪音的振幅由于贝壳的物理特性而增加了，"King解释说，"我们在贝壳内听到的特定声音取决于它本身的确切形状——贝壳内坚硬的、弯曲的表面导致声波进入周围反弹，一些频率增加，另一些频率降低。"可知，从贝克里听到的声音其实是周围的声音在贝壳内部曲面反弹，因此加强了它的振幅，因此这种声音其实就是周围被贝壳增大振幅后的声音。故选B。14．考查主旨大意。根据第一段"Ifyouholdupaseashelltoyourear,youwillhearthesea,nomatterhowfarinlandyoucurrentlyare.Infact,itisnotthecase.So,what'sactuallygoingonhere?"如果你把一个贝壳举到耳边，你就会听到大海的声音，不管你现在在内陆有多远。事实上，事实并非如此。那么，这里到底发生了什么?可知，本段通过提问的形式引出本文的话题；第二段中的"Onepopularexplanationisthatyouarelisteningtoyourownbloodcoursingthroughyou.Popularasthisbloodtheoryis,itdoesn'tholdwater."一种常见的解释是，你在听自己的血液在你体内流动。虽然这种血液理论很流行，但它站不住脚；以及第四段中的"There'sanotherideathatthe‘sea'youcanhearinashellisactuallyair-airflowingthroughtheshellandoutagain,whichcreatesthenoise."还有一种观点认为，你在贝壳里听到的"海"实际上是空气——空气穿过贝壳又流出来，这就产生了噪音。可知，全文解释从海贝壳听到大海的音的原因。故选A。15．考查推理判断。根据最后一段"Seashellsmaybethemostpoeticofwaystoexperiencethisresonance(共振),butthey'redefinitelynottheonlymethod-prettymuchanyconvex(凹面的)surfacewilldo."贝壳可能是体验这种共鸣的最诗意的方式，但它们绝对不是唯一的方法——几乎任何凸面都可以。可推知，接下来应该提到能产生共振的其他方式。故选D。【答案】16．E；17．D；18．A；19．G；20．B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了拖延症是什么，并给出了改善拖延症的几点建议。

【点评】考查七选五，本文是一篇教育类阅读，要求在理解细节信息的基础上，着重考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。16．根据空前"Procrastinationisacommonchallengethatmanypeopleface."拖延症是许多人面临的共同挑战。介绍拖延症是一个大家都面临的挑战；以及空后"However,therearepracticalmethodswhichhelppeoplebeatthebadhabit."然而，有一些实用的方法可以帮助人们克服这个坏习惯。引出有实用性的措施这一观点。此空承接上文，具体阐释拖延症的危害，从而引出下文"措施"，E.Itcanpreventsuccessinthelongrunandisnoteasytoovercome."从长远来看，它会阻碍成功，而且不容易克服。"说明了拖延症的危害，引出接下来要说的措施，承上启下，符合语境，故选E。17．根据空前"Areyouafraidofsomething?"你害怕什么吗？；以及空后"Fillinthesentence:"I'mavoidingthistaskbecauseI'mafraidthat…"Andseewhatshowsup.Identifyingyourfearscanhelpyourealizethemonstersintheclosetaren'tasbadasyouthink."填空这个句子:"我在回避这项任务，因为我害怕……"然后看看出现了什么。认清自己的恐惧可以帮助你意识到衣橱里的怪物并不像你想象的那么糟糕。提出解决方案。此空应对提出的问题进行可能性回答，然后才再提出解决建议，D.Maybeyoufeelovercomebyitanddon'tknowwheretostart."也许你觉得被它征服了，不知道从哪里开始。"是害怕的某个内容，承上启下，符合语境。故选D。18．根据空前"Trycrossingsomethingoffyourlistsimplybecauseyourealize
