【答案】21.C22.D23.A

【解析】

【導語】本篇是應用文。文章主要介紹了參觀達爾文故居的情況。

【21題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Funfact部分中“Outside,visitorscanexploretheshelteredgardenswhichDarwinusedasanopen-airlaboratory,andthegreenhouseinwhichheplantedrareplantsanddevisedbotanicalexperiments.(在外面，游客可以探索達爾文用作露天實驗室的遮蔽花園，以及他種植稀有植物和設(shè)計植物學實驗的溫室)”可知，游客在這里可以探索了解達爾文當年的工作生活情況，故選C。

【22題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Valueformoney部分中“It’s￡12(adult),￡7.20(child),or￡31.30(familywith2adults).Under5sgofree.(成人￡12，兒童￡7.20，或￡31.30（一個有2個成年人的家庭）。5歲以下免費)”可知，四歲孩子不要錢，父母帶兩個四歲孩子的最優(yōu)惠價格是12+12=24英鎊，故選D。

【23題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Verdict部分“8/10.Anunstuffyeducational,gentleday-tripattractionwithfriendly,knowledgeablestaff.(8/10。一個充滿教育氣息、溫和的一日游景點，擁有友好、知識淵博的工作人員)”可知該處景點評價很高，故選A。

【答案】24.A25.B26.D27.C

【解析】

【導語】這是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述通過親近自然、在自然中度過時光終于走出了失去母親以及沒能在母親最需要時陪伴她的痛苦。

【24題詳解】

詞句猜測題。根據(jù)第一段的“SadnessandthefeelingofnotbeingthereformymotherwhensheneededmemostbrokeallexcusesIdmadeuptostayawaytryingtomakeitasa“travelwriter”.Therewasn’tmuchIcoulddotostopthaturgetodenouncemyself.(悲傷和在母親最需要我的時候沒有陪伴在她身邊的感覺打破了我為成為一名“旅行作家”而編造的所有借口。我無法阻止denounce自己的沖動)”可知，沒能在母親最需要的時候陪在她身邊，由此可知，會責備自己的去秘魯旅行的沖動。因此猜測劃線詞意為“責備”，與blame同義。故選A。

【25題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第第二段的“Toher,Iwasacourageousadventurer,andherwordstowardsmyachievementswhichareinsignifcantnowpushedmeforwardonthatunconventionalpath.(對她來說，我是一個勇敢的冒險家，而她對我的成就的贊美——盡管現(xiàn)在還沒有實現(xiàn)——推動著我走上了那條非常規(guī)的道路)”推知，母親對的旅行持支持態(tài)度。故選B。

【26題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的“Afterhandlingmymother’saffairsinItaly,IdecidedtoleaveforPenangIsland,oneofthemostvisitedplacesinPenang,Malaysia.WithalltheinternationaltravelI’ddone,intruthI’dalwaystreateditmorelikeastopfornecessaryandurgentbreaks,ratherthanaproperdestination.(在意大利處理完母親的事務后，我決定前往馬來西亞檳城市游客最多的地方之一的檳城島。對于我所做的所有國際旅行，事實上，我總是把它當作必要和緊急休息的首選，而不是一個合適的目的地)”可知，把檳榔島看作是一個必要的休息點。故選D。

【27題詳解】

推理判斷題。通讀全文，并結(jié)合最后一段的“18monthspassing,Ilookbackonthetimespentinthenaturalworldandtimelessenvironment,knowingI’vepulledthrough.(18個月過去了，回首在自然世界和永恒環(huán)境中度過的時光，我知道我已經(jīng)度過了難關(guān))”可知，通過在自然中度過時光終于走出了失去母親以及沒能在母親最需要時陪伴她的痛苦。由此推知，通過本文想告訴我們自然幫助她克服了悲傷。故選C。

C

【答案】28.A29.B30.C31.C

【解析】

【導語】這是一篇新聞報道，主要講的是田納西州的T.O.FullerStatePark在眾人合作的基礎(chǔ)上對被丟棄的輪胎進行廢物利用，公園里的一條路就是用廢棄輪胎建成的。

【28題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“T.O.FullerStateParkinMemphis,Tennessee,hasbeenlovedforgenerationsandhasalwaysbeenagroundwherecommunityhascomefirst.(田納西州Memphis的T.O.Fuller州立公園世世代代受到人們的喜愛，一直是社區(qū)至上的地方)”可知，它是一個受歡迎的公園。根據(jù)第一段最后一句話“Over80yearslater,theparkiscontinuingitsforward-thinkingtradition,thistime,throughapioneeringsustainabilityproject.(80多年后，該公園繼續(xù)其前瞻性的傳統(tǒng)，這一次，通過一個開創(chuàng)性的可持續(xù)發(fā)展項目)”可知，它是一個有著良好傳統(tǒng)的公園，因此T.O.FullerStatePark是一個很受歡迎的公園，有著很好的傳統(tǒng)。故選A。

【29題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“Rubber,likeplastic,isamaterialthatwon’tnaturallydecompose.InaplaceashotasTennessee,thesedumpedtiresoftenbegintomeltandreleasetheseharmfulgassesintotheair.(橡膠和塑料一樣，是一種不會自然分解的材料。在像田納西州這樣炎熱的地方，這些被丟棄的輪胎經(jīng)常開始融化，并將這些有害氣體釋放到空氣中)”可知，廢棄輪胎會對環(huán)境造成危害是因為它們釋放有害氣體。故選B。

【30題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中“Thisisaperfectexampleofrecyclinginfullcircle,collectingdumpedmaterial,thenconvertingitintopositiveuse(這是一個循環(huán)再利用的完美例子，收集廢棄材料，然后將其轉(zhuǎn)化為積極的用途)”可知，David在最后一段的意思是T.O.FullerStatePark在回收廢棄輪胎方面做得很成功。故選C。

【31題詳解】

主旨大意題。通讀全文，尤其是第二段的“Fortunately,theoldtiresweresenttoPatriotTireRecyclinginBristol,TN,theonlyfacilityintheareathatcanbreakdowntiresinanenvironmentallysoundway.There,thecollectedtiresweresafelybrokendownintothecrumble(碎屑)rubberthatwaseventuallyusedtopavethenewtrail.(幸運的是，舊輪胎被送到了田納西州Bristol的PatriotTireRecycling，這是該地區(qū)唯一一家可以以環(huán)保方式分解輪胎的工廠。在那里，收集到的輪胎被安全地分解成橡膠碎屑，最終用于鋪設(shè)新的道路)”可知，本篇文章主要講述了田納西州的T.O.FullerStatePark在眾人合作的基礎(chǔ)上對被丟棄的輪胎進行廢物利用并用其鋪成了一條路的故事，因此最好的題目是C選項“TiresTransformedintoaNewHikingTrail(輪胎變成了一條新的徒步旅行路線)”。故選C。

D

【答案】32.A33.D34.B35.B

【解析】

【導語】本文是一篇說明文。本文主要介紹了心理學家的一項EC理論表明，我們不是只有大腦負責人類的認知，我們的身體也負責思考或者解決問題。更準確的說思想塑造身體，身體同等程度地塑造思想。

【32題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段第五句話“TheECtheorysuggestsourbodyisalsoresponsibleforthinkingorproblem-solving.Moreprecisely,themindshapesthebodyandthebodyshapesthemindinequalmeasure.(EC理論表明，我們的身體也負責思考或解決問題。更準確地說，思維塑造身體，身體同等程度地塑造思維。)”可推知，EC理論讓我們更接近人類認知的真相。故選A。
