A.Itiseasytooperate.B.Itismeantforgardeners.

C.Itisunaffordableinthecity.D.Itisinconvenienttopractice.

答案：A

【答案解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章主要講述日本科學(xué)家Miyazaki有關(guān)“森林浴”的研究及其和人類健

康的關(guān)系。

【詳解】

詞句猜測題。根據(jù)第一段劃線詞所在句“Forestbathingdoesn'tmeanyoutakeabathinthe

forest;rather,yousimplygoforawalkinthewoodsoracitypark,whereyouslackenbyusing

allyoursensestoexperiencenature.，森林浴”并不是指你在森林里洗澡；相反，你只是在

樹林里或城市公園里散步，在那里你會放松下來，用你所有的感官去體驗自然）”中的

“usingallyoursensestoexperiencenature”可知，感受森林浴的過程是用所有的感官去體

驗自然，可以推斷這是一個放松的過程，所以劃線詞slacken應(yīng)該是“放松”的意思,D選

項relax和它詞義接近。故選D項。

【詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“Hepointsoutthatformorethan99.99%ofthetime,humanshave

livedinanaturalenvironment.Infact,in1800,only3%oftheworld'spopulationlivedincities,

andby2016,thisfigurereached54%.Thisisonlygoingtogetworse;officialspredictthatby

2050,66%willliveincities.（他指出，在99.99%以上的時間里，人類都生活在自然環(huán)境

中。事實上，在1800年，只有3%的世界人口居住在城市，到2016年，這個數(shù)字達到

54%O這只會變得更糟；官員們預(yù)測，到2050年，66%的人口將居住在城市）”可知，該

段主要是以列數(shù)字的方式展開講述Miyazaki提出的理論。故選B項。

【詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“Miyazakihasaninterestingtheoryaboutwhyshinrin-yokuisso

effective.Hepointsoutthatformorethan99.99%ofthetime,humanshavelivedinanatural

environment.（Miyazaki有一個有趣的理論來解釋為什么shinlin-yoku如此有效。他指出，

在99.99%以上的時間里，人類都生活在自然環(huán)境中）”可知，宮崎駿認為人類和自然是一

體的，不可分割的，所以“森林浴”對人們放松身心是有效的。故選C項。

【詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段“AsMiyazakistresses,youdon'thavetofindaformalparkor

gardentopracticeshinrin-yoku.Instead,youcanenjoytheeffectsofnaturewhereverthere're

plants.（正如Miyazaki強調(diào)的那樣，你不必找一個正式的公園或花園來練習(xí)“森林浴”。相

反，你可以在任何有植物的地方享受大自然的效果）”可知，Miyazaki認為人們可以在任

何有植物的地方享受“森林浴”，所以要進行“森林浴”是很容易的。故選A項。

答案：C

【答案解析】

本文是議論文。文章論述了要當一個多面手，而不是當某方面的專家。

【詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。第二段中提至『'Somepeopleseemwillingtoworkaroundtheclockintheir

narrowspecialty....Thesespecialistscouldworkattheofficeuntilteneachnight（有些人似乎

愿意在他們狹隘的專業(yè)領(lǐng)域夜以繼日地工作?！@些專家可以每天晚上在辦公室工作

到十點。）“由此可知，這些專家往往花大部分的時間在工作上。故選C。

【詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段中“Thedoctorwhoisalsoapoetandphilosopherisasuperior

doctor,onewhocangivesomuchmoretohispatientsthanjustgoodmedicalskills.（這位既是

詩人又是哲學(xué)家的醫(yī)生是一位優(yōu)秀的醫(yī)生，他能給他的病人提供比良好的醫(yī)術(shù)更多的東

西。廠可知，作者認為一名優(yōu)秀的醫(yī)生是將其他領(lǐng)域的知識帶到工作中的醫(yī)生。故選

【詳解】

推理判斷題。文章第四段中提到“Thingsareconnected.Letyourexpertiseinonefieldfuel

yourpassionsinallrelatedareas.Someofyourinterestsmaynotappeartobeconnectedbut,

onceyouexploretheirdepths,youdiscoverthattheyare.（事物之間是有聯(lián)系的。讓你在一

旦你深入探索，你就會發(fā)現(xiàn)它們是有聯(lián)系的。）”下文舉出Toni的例子“MyeditorToni,

whoisalsoawriter,haseditedseveralhistorybooks.ShehasdecidedtostudyChinesehistory.

FascinatedbythestructuralbeautyoftheForbiddenCityasapainter,sheisequallyinterested

tolearnmoreaboutChinesephilosophy.（我的編輯Toni也是一位作家，她編輯過幾本歷史

書。她已決定學(xué)習(xí)中國歷史。作為一名畫家，她癡迷于紫禁城的建筑之美，同時也對更

多地了解中國哲學(xué)感興趣。）''由此可以推斷，作者想通過Toni的例子說明看似不相關(guān)

的興趣，如果深入探索的話，在某種程度上是有聯(lián)系的。故選D。

【詳解】

主旨大意題。文章第一段提出觀點“Thereissomethingtobesaidforbeingageneralist,even

ifyouareaspecialist」即使你是一個專家，做一個多面手也是有道理的。）”作者提出即使

你是一個專家，也應(yīng)該當一個通才；文章第二段提出“Thedrawbacktobeingspecialistsis

weoftencometoknowmoreandmoreaboutlessandless.（成為專家的缺點是，我們經(jīng)常越

來越多地了解越來越少的事情）”說明成為專家的不足之處是我們常常對越來越少的知識

領(lǐng)域了解得越來越深；第四段中提到“Generalists,…，knowalotaboutawiderangeof

subjectsandviewthewholewithallitsconnections^多面手...知道很多廣泛的主題，并

能看到整個事物的聯(lián)系）''說明當通才的優(yōu)點往往對廣泛的學(xué)科了解得很多，并從整體上

來看其中的所有的聯(lián)系。因此推斷作者的觀點是應(yīng)該當一個通才。因此文章的標題應(yīng)為

4CBeMoreaGeneralistThanaSpecialist（做一個通才，而不是專家）故選C。

答案：D

【答案解析】

這是一篇議論文。文中作者主要就如今流行的一種強烈的反對機械記憶，支持“建構(gòu)主義

活動''和”基于項目的學(xué)習(xí)”的教學(xué)方式提出了自己的看法。作者認為機械記憶的學(xué)習(xí)方式

仍然重要，同時指出了上述這兩種教學(xué)方法存在的一些問題。

【詳解】

詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞后文“infavorofconstructivist（建構(gòu)主義）activitiesand'project

basedlearning，”可知，如今的一種思潮支持“建構(gòu)主義活動”和“基于項目的學(xué)習(xí)”，所以應(yīng)

是強烈“反對”機械記憶，即劃線詞意為“反對”。故選C項。

【詳解】

推理判斷題。第三段前兩句"However,learningbyrotememoryismoreimportantthanyou

think.Therearemanycasesinwhichhavingknowledgeimmediatelyatthetipofyourtongue

canhavegreatsocialandprofessionalvalue.”提到，然而，通過機械記憶來學(xué)習(xí)比你想象的

重要。在很多情況下，就在嘴邊的知識可以產(chǎn)生巨大的社會和職業(yè)價值，接著作者舉了

自己和尼日利亞企業(yè)家交流的例子，作者知道在尼日利亞講約魯巴語這個簡單的事實贏

得了尼日利亞企業(yè)家的信任。所以作者提到這個例子是為了支持他通過機械記憶來學(xué)習(xí)

的觀點。故選A項。

【詳解】

主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，結(jié)合第三段首句“However,learningbyrotememoryismore

importantthanyouthink.（然而，通過機械記憶來學(xué)習(xí)比你想象的要更重要）”可知，作者主

要就如今流行的一種強烈反對機械記憶，支持“建構(gòu)主義活動”和“基于項目的學(xué)習(xí)”的教

學(xué)方式提出了自己的看法。作者認為機械記憶的學(xué)習(xí)方式仍然重要，同時指出了上述這

兩種教學(xué)方法存在的一些問題。故選D項。

【答案解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章介紹了一種新型建筑材料——透明木材。

【詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。由第一段“AsheetoftransparentnewmaterialataUniversityofMarylandlab

lookslikeitmightbeplastic.Butit'sactuallywood-anditcouldeventuallybeusedtomake

energy-efficientwindowsorevensee-throughbuildings.（馬里蘭大學(xué)實驗室的一片透明的新

材料看起來像是塑料。但它實際上是木頭——它最終可能被用來制造節(jié)能窗戶，甚至是

透明建筑。）”可知，新材料可以被用來制造節(jié)能窗戶，說明用它做的窗戶是節(jié)能的。故

選B項。

【詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。由第四段中的"Researchershaveexperimentedwithtransparentwoodinthe

past,butthenewmethodismoresustainable.Othermethodsusuallysoakthewoodina

chemicalcompoundcalledsodiumchlorite（亞路酸鈉）toremovelignin,partofthewoodthat

givesitstructure.Butthiscanweakenthewood,anditproduceswastethatishardtorecycle.

（研究人員過去曾用透明木材做過實驗，但新方法更具可持續(xù)性。其他方法通常是將木材

浸泡在一種叫亞氯酸鈉的化合物中，以去除木質(zhì)素，木質(zhì)素是賦予木材結(jié)構(gòu)的一部分。

但這會削弱木材，產(chǎn)生難以回收的廢物。）”可知，以前的方法會產(chǎn)生難以回收的廢物，

造成污染，而新方法更具可持續(xù)性、更環(huán)保。故選D項。

【詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。由第五段中的"Andscientistsrecentlydiscoveredatechniquetogrowwoodin

alab,openingupthepossibilityofusingwoodwithouthavingtochopdownaforest.（和）?學(xué)家

們最近發(fā)現(xiàn)了一種在實驗室里種植木材的技術(shù)，這為在不砍伐森林的情況下使用木材開

項。

【詳解】

推理判斷題。由最后一段中的"AnewspinoffcompanycalledInventWoodisworkingto

commercializethetechnology.（一家名為InventWood的新公司正在致力于使這項技術(shù)商業(yè)

網(wǎng)絡(luò)上迅速走紅，激勵了其他人去發(fā)現(xiàn)、探索和珍惜國家的自然美景。

【詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三句"Withhisplayfulairofconfidenceandactivenature,Henryfitright

in.”（亨利以他那頑皮的自信和活躍的天性，很適合。）和第二句"CynthiaBennettand

AndreSibilsky,anewcouple,wantedahighenergydogthattheycouldtakeonlonghikesand

campingexplorationsfromColoradotoCalifbrnia."（CynthiaBennett和AndreSibilsky是——對

新婚夫婦，他們想要一只精力旺盛的狗，可以從科羅拉多州到加利福尼亞州進行長途徒

步旅行和露營探險。可知，因為它很活躍，精力充沛，所以這對夫婦選了亨利。故選

Bo

【詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第二句"AndHenrydiscoveredthatBaloolovedtoexploreasmuch

ashedid”（亨利發(fā)現(xiàn)巴魯和他一樣喜歡探索。）和第三段第二句第三句"Baloojusthung

himselfoverHenry'sheadandneck.AndHenrydidn'tmindatall.”（巴魯把自己吊在亨利的頭

上和脖子上。亨利一點也不介意。）可知，亨利和巴魯在個性上很相配。故選D。

【詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒第二段第二句"CynthiaandAndrestartedtheHenryandBaloo

Foundation,anofficialnonprofitorganizationwithamissiontopreserve1,000acresacrossthe

Westandhelpreforestlandthathasbeenclaimedbywildfires.^（CynthiaBennett和Andre

Sibilsky創(chuàng)立了亨利和巴魯基金會，這是一個官方的非營利組織，其使命是保護西部

1000英畝的土地，并幫助在已被野火奪走的土地上重新造林。）可知，亨利和巴魯基金

會的主要目的是保護自然環(huán)境。故選A。

【詳解】

主旨大意題。根據(jù)最后—段“CynthiaandAndrehopethattheadventuresofHenryandBaloo

willinspireotherstodiscover,exploreandtreasureourcountry'snaturalbeauty.”（Cynthia和

Andre希望亨利和巴魯?shù)拿半U能激勵其他人去發(fā)現(xiàn)、探索和珍惜我們國家的自然美景。）

可知，文章主要是講亨利和巴魯和主人一起旅行的冒險故事激勵了其他人去發(fā)現(xiàn)、探索

和珍惜國家的自然美景，主人公是亨利和巴魯。所以選項C是最好的標題。故選C。
