【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍一项新的研究，表明世界上一半以上的海洋面积正在“变得更绿”，

这一趋势与人类造成的全球变暖有关。

【28题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段“Anewstudysaysthatmorethanhalftheworld'soceanareais'beinggreener\andthe

trerdisconnectedtohumancausedglobalwarming.（一项新的研究表明，世界上一半以上的海洋面积正在'变

得更绿'，这一趋势与人类造成的全球变暧有关。）”可知，文中提到的研究的主题是世界海洋颜色的变化。

故选A项。

【29题详解】

词句猜测题。根据划线词句前文“Theexactreasonsstiilrequiresomescientificdigging.（确切的原因仍然需要

一些科学的挖掘。）”和划线词句后半部分"thestudyalsoindicatesthatrisingoceantemperaturesinandof

themselvesaren'tdrivingthegreening（但研究还表明，海洋温度上升本身并不是导致绿化的原因）”说明导致

海水变绿的原因还在探索，其原因并不是海洋温度上升本身，从而推知划线词句“Whileclimatechange

seemstobetheculDrit（虽然气候变化似乎是culprit）”其中划线部分意思是“引起问题的原因或事实”。故选

D项。

【30题详解】

细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Thefindingsweren'tasurprisetotheresearchers.They'reconsistentwiththe

wayresearchersexpecttheglobaloceanstochangeastheworldkeepsonwarming.（这些发现对研究人员来说并

changesinoceancoloraregoingtohappen.（多年来，我一直在进行模拟，这些模拟告诉我，海洋颜色的这些

变化将会发生。）”可知，这项研究表明海洋将来还会继续改变颜色。故选C项。

【答案】32.B33.D34.A35.C

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究表明没有证据表明脑力训练应用程序可以使人更聪明。

【32题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段“Thereareplentyofbraintrainingapps,buttheyallsharethesamecharacteristics:they

turnmentalexerciseslikesimpleari:hmetic,memorytestsandlogicandpatternmatchingproblemsintoquick

games.（有很多大脑训练应用程序，但它们都有相同的特点:它们把简单的算术、记忆测试、逻辑和模式匹配

问题等脑力练习变成/快速游戏）”可知，脑力训练应用程序的共同点是：把简单的算术、记忆测试、逻辑

匹配等脑力练习变成了快速游戏，它们以游戏的形式发挥作用。故选B。

【33题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第三段"Manyoftheappssaytheyarebackedby“science”,aclaimIfoundsurprisingasa

formerneuroscientist.Theconceptthatincreasingintelligencewouldbeassimpleaspracticingafewminigames

everydaygoesagainstwhatwehavediscoveredabouthowhumansthinkandlearn.（许多应用程序声称它们有

“科学”的支持，作为一名前神经科学家，这一说法让我感到惊讶。提高智力就像每天练习一些小游戏一

样简单，这一概念与我们所发现的人类思考和学习方式背道而驰）”可知，第三段的主要内容是质疑一些大

脑训练应用的夸大效果。故选D。

【34题详解】

推理判断题。根据第四段“Thepositiveeffectsthathavebeenfoundarelimitedtotheveryspecificminigames

andtasksthatusersaretrainedon,suchastheabilitytomemorizelistsofwordsornumbers,orperformmental

arithmetic,withlittlebenefittootherskills.（我们所发现的积极影响仅限于非常特定的迷你游戏和训练用户的

任务，如记忆单词或数字列表的能力，或进行心算的能力，对其他技能几乎没有好处）”可知，已知的脑力

训练的积极影响仅限于非常特定的一些小游戏和训练仃.务，但对其他技能几乎没有好处。由此推知，脑力

训练对记忆力的提高具有局限性。故选A。

[35题详解】

推理判断题。根据第四段"Thepositiveeffectsthathavebeenfoundarclimitedtotheveryspecificminigames
