【答案】4.C5.C6.D7.D

【解析】

本文是夾敘夾議文。文章講述了作者在以色列攻讀博士學(xué)位期間遭遇困境。一部電影中的臺(tái)詞給了他啟示:

當(dāng)生活給你又酸又苦的檸檬時(shí)，那你就將它變成又甜又可口的檸檬汁。

【4題詳解】

主旨大意題。文章第二段中提到“3monthsbeforeIwasfired,Iranintosomeproblems.Imadeafewmistakesin

thelabthatslowedmyresearchrmstillnotsurewhyhefiredme,butIguessitwasbecauseofthosemistakes.

Hewasn'tconfidentthatIcouldcompletemyresearchintimeaswe'dplanned.（在解雇前三個(gè)月，我在實(shí)驗(yàn)室犯

了一些錯(cuò)誤，延緩了我的研究進(jìn)度……我仍然不確定他為什么解雇我，但我猜是因?yàn)槟切╁e(cuò)誤。他沒(méi)有信心

我能如期完成我的研究。）”由此可知，該段是講述作者被解雇的可能的原因。故選C。

【5題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中“Itriedtochangehismindwithpromisingresults,buthestucktohisdecision.（我試

圖以預(yù)期的結(jié)果來(lái)改變他的主意，但他堅(jiān)持他的決定。）“可知，被解雇后，作者試圖改變導(dǎo)師的主意，但是

無(wú)濟(jì)于事。故選C。

【6題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章第四段中提到"Withrenewedconfidence,Iemailedexpectedadvisersandappliedtoother

programs.Within2months,IlandedanofferfromaPh.D.programinItaly.IaccepteditandrelocatedtoEurope,

happythatmygoalofcompletingaPh.D.wasaliveonceagain.（滿懷重新燃起的信心，我發(fā)了一封電子郵件

給預(yù)期的顧問(wèn)，并申請(qǐng)了其他項(xiàng)目。不到兩個(gè)月，我就拿到了意大利一個(gè)博士項(xiàng)目的錄取通知書(shū)。我接受

了，到了歐洲，很高興我完成博士學(xué)位的目標(biāo)再次實(shí)現(xiàn)了。）”由此可知，作者在被解雇的困境下，他的“檸

檬水”是申請(qǐng)另一個(gè)博士項(xiàng)目，并且被接受了。故選D。

【7題詳解】

推理判斷題。文章講述了作者在以色列攻讀博士學(xué)位期間，被導(dǎo)師解雇。在困境中，作者觀看的一部電影

中的臺(tái)詞給了他啟示“Whenlifegivesyoulemons,makelemonade.（若生活給了你酸檸檬時(shí)，那就把它變成甜

的檸檬汁吧）文章中還提到"Aftermuchreflection,Itoldmyselfthatonefailedattemptwasnottheendofthe

world,andthatIneededtogiveitanothertry.”作者認(rèn)為一次失敗的嘗試并不意味著世界末日，于是再次嘗試。

由此可以推斷，作者的經(jīng)歷告訴人們?cè)谏钪杏龅嚼Ь硶r(shí)，應(yīng)該換個(gè)角度，不斷嘗試，就可以轉(zhuǎn)化為積極

的東西。故選D。

【答案】8.C9.B10.C11.C

【解析】

本文是-一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要說(shuō)明了從社交中獲得最大好處的最佳方式是打電話。

【8題詳解】

詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)文章第三段‘"'Wethinkit'sgoingtobeawkwardtotalktosomebody,butthatjustturnsoutnot

tobethecase,"saysleadauthorAmitKumar."Instead...peopleformstrongerconnectionwhenthey'retalkingon

thephonethanwhencommunicatingoveremail我們認(rèn)為和別人交談會(huì)很尷尬,但事實(shí)并非如此，”首席作

者阿米特?庫(kù)馬爾（AmitKumar）說(shuō)。"相反……比起通過(guò)電子郵件交流，人們通過(guò)電話交流會(huì)形成更強(qiáng)的聯(lián)

系?！埃翱芍聦?shí)上人們通過(guò)電話交流不會(huì)尷尬，thecase指代的是“和別人電話交談會(huì)尷尬”這件事。故

選C項(xiàng)。

【9題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第五段“Likelyit'sbecauseourvoicescommunicateavarietyofemotions,helpingothersto

readusbetterandtofeelliketheyreallyknowus.（這可能是因?yàn)槲覀兊穆曇艨梢詡鬟_(dá)各種情緒，幫助別人更好

地讀懂我們，讓他們覺(jué)得自己真的了解我們。）”可知，用聲音交流的參與者感覺(jué)更親近的原因在于聲音可以

傳達(dá)情緒。故選B項(xiàng)。

【10題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段“Inthestudy,participants（參與者）imaginedhavingaconversationwithafriend

theyhadn'tbeenintouchwithforatleasttwoyearsandmadepredictions（預(yù)測(cè)）abouthowitwouldfeelto

connectbyphoneversus（對(duì)比）email.（在這項(xiàng)研究中，參與者想象與一個(gè)至少兩年沒(méi)有聯(lián)系的朋友交談，

并預(yù)測(cè)通過(guò)電話與電子郵件聯(lián)系的感覺(jué)。）"和第四段"Thesameresultheldtruewhentheresearchershad

participantsdoaconversationexercisewithstrangersusingeithervideochatting,audioonlychatting,ortext

chatting.（當(dāng)研究人員讓參與者用視頻聊天、純音頻聊天或文字聊天與陌生人進(jìn)行對(duì)話練習(xí)時(shí)，同樣的結(jié)果

也成立。）”可判斷，研究人員通過(guò)比較得出結(jié)論的。故選C項(xiàng)。

【11題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后——段“IfweTelookingforgreaterhappinessandconnection,weshouldgivesomeonea

call.（如果我們?cè)趯ふ腋蟮目鞓?lè)和聯(lián)系，我們應(yīng)該給某人打電話。）”可知，聯(lián)系別人最好的方法是打電話

給他。故選C項(xiàng)。

【答案】12.D13.A14.B15.C

【解析】

這是一篇新聞報(bào)道。短文主要介紹種子生菜種子可以在太空中生長(zhǎng)。

【12題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Peakesaidthescienceexperimentwastofindoutiftheconditionsinspaceaffectedthe

seeds，abilitytogrow."（Peake說(shuō)：“科學(xué)實(shí)驗(yàn)是為了弄清楚是否太空的條件會(huì)影響種子的生長(zhǎng)能力”）可知，

Peake把種子帶到太空是為了測(cè)試太空對(duì)種子生長(zhǎng)的影響，故選D項(xiàng)。

【13題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“Peakedescribedtheexperimentas"oneofthelargestandmostinspirational

experimentsofitskind".（Peake形容這次實(shí)驗(yàn)是同類實(shí)驗(yàn)中最大，并且最鼓舞人心的實(shí)驗(yàn)之一。）可知，Peake

對(duì)這次實(shí)驗(yàn)是備受鼓舞的。故選A項(xiàng)。

【14題詳解】

推理判斷題。短文主要介紹種子生菜種子可以在太空中生長(zhǎng)。以及根據(jù)“outerspace"（外太空）及“science

experiment”（科學(xué)實(shí)驗(yàn)）和“cosmicrays”（宇宙射線）等有關(guān)科學(xué)的詞匯可知，這篇文章會(huì)出現(xiàn)在網(wǎng)站的科

學(xué)部分，故選B項(xiàng)。

【15題詳解】

主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段“Saladseedsthatwentonaroundtriptoouterspaceandbackgrewataslightlyslower

ratethantheonesonearth”（生菜種子在外太空環(huán)游一圈后返回，它在外太空的生長(zhǎng)速度比在地球上的生長(zhǎng)速

度稍稍慢了一些。）及最后一段“itmightbepossibletogrowplantsduringfuturespacetaskstootherplanets.Dr

JakeChandler,fromUniversityofLondon,wholedthestudy,said，”Thepossibilityofeatinghome-grownsaladon

Marsmaybeonesmallstepcloser."（將來(lái)或許有可能在其他星球上完成種植植物的任務(wù)。倫敦大學(xué)的杰克.錢(qián)

德勒博士是這項(xiàng)研究的負(fù)責(zé)人，他說(shuō):“在火星上吃自己種的生菜可能性又近了一小步。”）可知，文章主要

講述種子在外太空的生長(zhǎng)，及種子將來(lái)有希望在其他星球上被種植。所以短文的最佳標(biāo)題為“生菜種子可能

在火星上生長(zhǎng)可能會(huì)成為現(xiàn)實(shí)故選C項(xiàng)。
