80's,WilliamRhodenisarespectedsportsjournalistknownforhistwobooks（威廉?羅登不

【分析】

本文是說明文。Zawawi博士指出在正常情況下，暫時性聽力損傷，72小時內(nèi)可以修復(fù)。

如果癥狀在最初的72小時內(nèi)不被逆轉(zhuǎn)，將會是永久性的損傷。研究人員通過實驗表明，

咖啡因可能是導(dǎo)致聽力無法恢復(fù)的原因。

4.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“undernormalcircumstancesthebodytypicallyisabletorepair

thelossofhearingwithin72hours.（在正常情況下,身體通常能夠在72小時內(nèi)修復(fù)聽力

損失。）"和"Duetofindingsinpreviousstudiesaboutit,Zawawisaysthattheteamof

researchershassuspectedthatsomethingmaystopthisrepairprocess（Zawawi說，根據(jù)之

前的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，研究小組懷疑可能有什么東西阻止了這種修復(fù)過程）”可知，根據(jù)以前

的研究結(jié)果，研究小組懷疑某種東西可能會阻止這種修復(fù)過程。于是研究小組決定進行

研究。故選B。

5.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“whenapersonisexposedtoloudnoisesitcancauseshort-term

hearinglossbutthatundernormalcircumstancesthebodytypicallyisabletorepairtheloss

ofhearingwithin72hours”可知，當(dāng)一個人暴露在巨大的噪音中，可能會導(dǎo)致短期的聽力

損失，但在正常情況下，身體通常能夠在72小時內(nèi)修復(fù)聽力損失。由此可知，Zawawi

認為在正常情況下，暫時性聽力受損在3天內(nèi)可以恢復(fù)。故選D。

6.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“theresearchersconcludedthatcaffeineisalikelycontributing

causetopermanenthearingloss”可知，研究人員得出結(jié)論：咖啡因可能導(dǎo)致永久性聽力

損傷，使聽力無法恢復(fù)。故選C。

7.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“Althoughfurtherresearchisrequiredtounderstandtheeffecton

humans,theresultsarepromising”可知I,雖然還需要進一步的研究來了解其對人類的影響,

但研究結(jié)果是有希望的。由此可知，Zawawi認為該項研究幾乎是成功的。故選D。

【分析】

這是一篇說明文。文章主要講述了閑聊是人類交往互動的第一步，能夠是人類跨越許多

社交障礙，深入的交談能與我們與其他人建立持久的聯(lián)系，形成寶貴的友誼，使我們的

生活充滿活力，友誼從閑聊開始，著重描述了閑聊的意義。

8.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段“ButdespitebeingevidentandoftenpainfUHydull,smalltalk

hasanimportantroletofulfil,enablingustoleapoveranumberofsocialobstaclestowards

improved,meaningfulinteraction.（不過，盡管閑聊往往明顯枯燥得令人痛苦，但它仍能發(fā)

揮重要作用，使我們能夠跨越許多社會障礙，改善有意義的互動。廣可知，閑聊是跨越

許多社會障礙，改善互動的方式，由此可知，第一段講述的是：閑聊是人類互動的第一

步，故選A項。

9.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“Whenfindingyourselfpositionedcloselytoapersonwhoyou

knowlittleabout,it'smuchsafertopointouttherainyskythantoshareyourpoliticalviews

onasensitivetopic.Untilyouknowthepersonbelter,heaviertopicsshouldprobablybekept

靠近一個你不太了解的人時，聊天氣情況要比就一個敏感話題發(fā)表你的政治觀點安全得

多。在你更好地了解對方之前，較嚴(yán)肅的話題應(yīng)該保密，這樣你才不會被冷眼瞪著。y

可知，如果閑聊的話題沒有控制住敏感度是不“安全的工由此推知，如果閑聊不能控制

好話題的“人際距離”將會被冷眼相待，故選D項。

10.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Aresponseto“howwasyourweekend,,canunveilmuch

abouttheperson'scharacter.Thelengthoftheirresponsemightindicatetheirlevelof

self-confidence;thetoneofspeakingmightshowhowagreeableapersonis;（對“周末過得怎

信程度;說話的語氣可以顯示出?個人是多么和藹可親;）“可知體現(xiàn)一個人友好、和藹的

標(biāo)志是說話的語氣。故選B項。

11.標(biāo)題判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“Butdespitebeingevidentandoftenpainfullydull,smalltalk

hasanimportantroletofulfil,enablingustoleapoveranumberofsocialobstaclestowards

improved,meaningfulinteraction4不過，盡管閑聊往往明顯枯燥得令人痛苦，但它仍能發(fā)

"Conversationisagreateducator,anddeepconversationestablishlastingbonds

withourfellowhumans,formingpreciousfriendshipsthatpaintourliveswithvibrantcolors.

Suchfriendshipsbeginwithsmalltalk.（交談是偉大的教育家，深入的交談能與我們的同胞

建立持久的聯(lián)系，形成寶貴的友誼，使我們的生活充滿活力。這樣的友誼從閑聊開始。y

可知，文章主要在說明閑聊的重要性，所以c項“閑聊的意義”適合做文章的標(biāo)題，故選

c項。

【分析】

這是一篇說明文。文章介紹了把戶外環(huán)境帶到建筑里的“綠色墻”，這種綠色墻應(yīng)用于校

園等教育機構(gòu)內(nèi)已經(jīng)成為了一種新的趨勢。

12.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Thelivingwallismeanttoalmostappearasanextensionof

theeastcourtyardexterior（夕卜面的）environmentflowingintothebuilding,“saidChristopher

Case（“綠色墻就像是作為東庭院外部環(huán)境的延伸，進入建筑。"ChristopherCase說。戶

可知Christopher對綠色墻的描述是外部環(huán)境進入建筑，D項“它把戶外的環(huán)境帶到了建

筑物里。''表述正確，故選D項。

13.推理判斷題。根據(jù)畫線句子后的"Theproject-basedlearningallowsstudentstoconstruct

被鼓勵使用批判性思維來開發(fā)維護綠色墻的方法，再一次把他們帶回到自然世界，盡管

是在室內(nèi)。"）”可知在校園里在學(xué)校實施綠色圍墻對學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)研究是有好處的。故選A

項。

14.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段內(nèi)容“Toincreaseproductivitywhilebeautifyingaspace,

的趨勢，因此本文主要是關(guān)于“綠色墻”在教育機構(gòu)中的應(yīng)用。故選C項。

試卷第12頁，總25頁

這是一篇說明文。文章介紹了如何寫一篇出色的大學(xué)申請書。

16.根據(jù)下文“Itneedstotellastorywithpassion（熱情），usingpersonal,entertaining

anecdotesthatshowyourcharacter,yourinterests,yourvalues,yourlifeexperiences,and

evenyoursenseofhumor.”可知，這篇文章需要用熱情，以及可以展示你性格、興趣、價

值觀、個人經(jīng)歷甚至幽默感的個人軼事來講述故事。由此可知，這篇文章不僅僅是平淡

地陳述你做了哪些事情。B.It'snotjustalistofeverythingyou'vedone.（它不僅僅是一篇

關(guān)于你所做事情的文章）符合文意。故選B項。

17.上文“Emphasizevolunteerworkorotherwaysyou'vehelpedpeopleormadeyour
