【解析】

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了研究人員使用視頻通話幫助寵物鸚鵡擺脫孤獨(dú)。

【4題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段"Whenhumansarefeelinglonely,wecancallorvideochatwithfriendsand

familywholivefaraway.But,scientistsasked,whataboutpetparrots?Newresearchsuggeststhatthesechatty

creaturesmayalsobenefitfromvirtuallyconnectingwiththeirPeerS.（當(dāng)人類感到孤獨(dú)時(shí)，我們可以和遠(yuǎn)方朋

友和家人打電話或視頻聊天。但是，科學(xué)家們問，寵物鸚鵡呢?新的研究表明，這些健談的生物也可能從

與同伴的虛擬交流中受益。）"和第二段"Feelingboredandlonely,theymaydeveloppsychologicalissuesand

caneventurntoself-harmingbehaviourslikepullingouttheirfeathers.（感至IJ無聊和孤獨(dú)，他們可能會(huì)出現(xiàn)心理

問題，甚至?xí)霈F(xiàn)自殘行為，比如拔羽毛。）”可知，寵物鸚鵡會(huì)感到無聊、孤獨(dú)，研究人員借鑒人們用視

頻通話來消除孤獨(dú)的方法，看看鸚鵡會(huì)不會(huì)收益。所以研究的目的是為了幫助鸚鵡擺脫低落情緒。故選

CO

【5題詳解】

主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第三段“Intheinitialstage,thebirdslearnttoringabellandthentouchaphotoof

anotherbirdonatabletscreentostartacalltothatbird.（在最初階段，這些鳥學(xué)會(huì)了搖鈴，然后觸摸平板電腦

otherbirdsattheirownwillbyringingthebellthenselectingthebirdtheywantedtocall.（在第二階段，鸚鵡可

以根據(jù)自己的意愿選擇叫其他鳥，先搖鈴，然后選擇他們想叫的鳥。）”可知，本段主要介紹了實(shí)驗(yàn)的兩個(gè)

階段，即實(shí)驗(yàn)的過程。故選B。

【6題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段"Shecamealiveduringthecalls,,,onepetownersaidaboutherbird,accordingtoa

NortheasternUniversitystatement.（根據(jù)東北大學(xué)的一份聲明，一位寵物主人對(duì)她的鳥說：“她在叫聲中活

故選D。

【7題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段“"TheanimalInternetisalreadyhere一therearehundredsofproductsonthe

marketthatletpetownersinteractwiththeiranimalsremotelyoverthenet,buttheirdesignisprimarilyfocusedon

whathumanswant,notwhattheirpetsneed,^^Hirskyj-DouglasfromtheUniversityofGlasgowadded.（格拉斯哥

赫斯基-道格拉斯說市場上已有的數(shù)百種產(chǎn)品主要關(guān)注寵物主人的需求，而不是寵物的的需求，所以這次研

究和以往的差別是關(guān)注了寵物的需求。故選D。

Firm的經(jīng)營范圍，成功秘訣等相關(guān)情況。

【8題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的"Onecriticalreasonfortheirsuccessisthatunlikemanyfirms,MorelliLawhas

theexperience,patience,andresourcestopursuealldifficultCaSeS.（他們成功的一個(gè)關(guān)鍵原因是，與許多公司不

同，莫瑞里律師事務(wù)所有經(jīng)驗(yàn)、耐心和資源來處理所有困難的案件。）”可知，他們成功的關(guān)鍵是他們擁有

處理復(fù)雜案件的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，耐心和資源。故選C項(xiàng)。

【9題詳解】

詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Whenaskedwhethertheywouldfeelafraidwhenfacingdifficultopponentsin

court,44Atmycore,I'matriallawyer,,,saidBenedictMoreni.（當(dāng)被問及在法庭上面對(duì)難纏的對(duì)手時(shí)，他們是否

會(huì)感到害怕時(shí)，莫瑞里說：“在我的內(nèi)心，我是一名出庭律師。可知，有人問及他們?cè)诜ㄍド厦鎸?duì)難纏

對(duì)手時(shí)是否會(huì)害怕，他說他是一名出庭律師，由此可知，上法庭不會(huì)讓他們“害怕”，所以，劃線單詞的意

思是“使害怕”。故選A項(xiàng)。

【10題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的uThefirmisdevotedtorealizingitsclients,goalsbothinsideandoutsideof

thecourtroom.（該公司致力于實(shí)現(xiàn)其客戶在法庭內(nèi)外的目標(biāo)。）”可知，該律所致力于實(shí)現(xiàn)客戶法庭內(nèi)外的目

標(biāo)，由此可知，他們旨在幫助客戶獲得法庭內(nèi)外的好結(jié)果。故選C項(xiàng)。

[11題詳解】

主旨大意題。根據(jù)首段中的"BenedictMorelli,oneofNewYork,stop-ratedlawyers,ownsMorelliLawFirm,

whichhasoffices,lawyers,casesandexpertsalloverthecountry.（BenedictMorelli是紐約最受好評(píng)的律師之一，

他擁有MorelIiLaWFirm,該事務(wù)所在全國各地都有辦事處、律師、案件和專家。）”可知，開篇引出MOrelIi

LawFirm,根據(jù)第二段中的"Onecriticalreasonfortheirsuccessisthatunlikemanyfirms,MorelliLawhasthe

experience,patience,andresourcestopursuealldifficultcases.（他們成功的一個(gè)關(guān)鍵原因是，與許多律所不同，

MOrelliLaW有經(jīng)驗(yàn)、耐心和資源來處理所有困難的案件。）”可知，此處介紹了MOreniLaWFirm的成功關(guān)

鍵，根據(jù)第四段中的“Thefirmisdevotedtorealizingitsclients,goalsbothinsideandoutsideofthecourtroom.

（該公司致力于在法庭內(nèi)外實(shí)現(xiàn)客戶的目標(biāo)。）”可知，此處介紹了該律所的宗旨，以及最后一段中

uCorporationsarepowerfulactorsinsocietyandMr.Morelliandhisteamfeelfortunatetobeinapositionto

providethehighestlevelofservicetotheirCIientS.（公司是社會(huì)中強(qiáng)大的角色，莫雷利先生和他的團(tuán)隊(duì)為能夠

文主要介紹的是MoreIliLaWFirm的相關(guān)情況，所以本文以“MoreHiLawFirm"為標(biāo)題符合文章內(nèi)容，概括

了本文的主題。故選A項(xiàng)。

及對(duì)病人的顧慮進(jìn)行了解惑。

【12題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“OneisthatMedicare（醫(yī)療保險(xiǎn)）doesn'tcoverthecostofpatients'life-extending

treatmentiftheyenterhospice.Medicarealsorequiresthatthedoctorreferringsomeoneforhospicecaremust

故選B。

【答案】16.D17.A18.E19.G20.B

【解析】

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。主要介紹的是一些關(guān)于如何利用水的治療力量的建議

【16題詳解】

根據(jù)空前的aNowadays,manyofusarefindingourselvestiredout,strugglingtobuildbalancebackintoour

IiVeS.（如今，我們中的許多人都發(fā)現(xiàn)自己疲憊不堪，努力恢復(fù)生活的平衡）”可知，當(dāng)前，很多人處于疲憊

狀態(tài)，在努力地建立生活中的平衡，根據(jù)空后的"Spendingtimenearoceans,IakeS,riversandotherbule

spacescanprovidearangeofbenefitsincludingreducinganxiety,easingmentaltirednessandrefreshingus.（在海

洋、湖泊、河流和其他藍(lán)色空間附近度過一段時(shí)間可以帶來一系列好處，包括減少焦慮、緩解精神疲勞和

讓我們精神煥發(fā)）”可知，與水相關(guān)的環(huán)境在一起一段時(shí)間會(huì)有很大幫助，由此可推斷，此空處應(yīng)是承上啟

下的作用，指出水可以幫助我們緩解疲憊。D選項(xiàng)"Accordingtoresearchers,watercanhelpus.（據(jù)研究人員

稱，水可以幫助我們）”符合題意。故選D項(xiàng)。

【17題詳解】

根據(jù)分析語篇可知，此處應(yīng)為本段的主題句，應(yīng)為祈使句，根據(jù)空后的"Youlikelyhavesomewaterclose

by,evenifitisjustapondalongsidetheroad.Startthere.Thengetouttowateryoucanvisitontheweekendora

vacation.Urbanwatercounts—rivers,canalsandfountains.（你附近可能有一些水，即使它只是路邊的一個(gè)池

塘。從這里開始。然后到你可以在周末或假期參觀的水里去。城市用水一一河流、運(yùn)河和噴泉）”可知，該

段講述的只要是有水的地方就可以，無論是哪里的水，A選項(xiàng)“Rememberthatallwatercounts?（記住，所有

的水都可以）”符合題意，概括了本段的主題。故選A項(xiàng)。

【18題詳解】

根據(jù)上題分析的內(nèi)容，本段講述的是無論哪里的水都很重要，由此可知，此空處講述的內(nèi)容與此相關(guān)，根

據(jù)空前的“Thengetouttowateryoucanvisitontheweekendoravacation.Urbanwatercounts—rivers,canals

andfountains.（然后到你可以在周末或假期參觀的水里去。城市用水——河流、運(yùn)河和噴泉）”可知，此處講

述的是在周末時(shí)間去接觸外界的水，E選項(xiàng)“Sodoesdomesticwater-inpools,bathtubs,evenbyfishIankS.（家

庭水池、浴缸，甚至魚缸也是如此）”講述的內(nèi)容是家里的水也很重要，與本段主題相符，且內(nèi)容一致。故

選E項(xiàng)。

【19題詳解】

根據(jù)本段主題句“G。often.”可知，該段建議人們經(jīng)常接觸水，與時(shí)間相關(guān)，根據(jù)空后的“Bulan

environmentalpsychologistfoundthatspendingasimilaramountoflimenearwaterhasthesamebenefits.（但一位

環(huán)境心理學(xué)家發(fā)現(xiàn)，在水附近呆同樣長的時(shí)間也有同樣的好處）”可知，在水附近花費(fèi)類似的時(shí)間有一樣的

好處，根據(jù)but可知,此空處的內(nèi)容與空后內(nèi)容為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，G選項(xiàng)“Ittakesatleasttwohoursaweekin

naturetoimproveOUrWelI-being.（我們每周至少要花兩個(gè)小時(shí)在大自然中才能改善我們的健康）”可知，每周

在大自然中待至少兩個(gè)小時(shí)會(huì)改善健康，與空后的“在水邊花費(fèi)相似的時(shí)間”以及“起到一樣的效果”意

義相符。故選G項(xiàng)。

【20題詳解】

根據(jù)本段的主題句"Listen."以及空前的"Makeanaudiorecordingofyourfavoritewater.（錄制您最喜歡的水

的錄音）”可知，本段講述的是聽水聲對(duì)身體健康是有用的，空前講述的是錄制一段最喜歡的水的錄音，由

此可知，此空處應(yīng)是這樣做的效果，B選項(xiàng)"ItwillbringbackhapPymemorieS.（它會(huì)帶回快樂的回憶）“符

合題意，承接空前內(nèi)容。故選B項(xiàng)。

第三部分語言運(yùn)用（共兩節(jié)，滿分30分）

第一節(jié)（共15小題;每小題1分，滿分15分）

閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。
