[21題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段Shedidn'tknowanythingaboutballet,andshewasolderthanmostofthestudents.

【23題詳解】

【答案】24.B25.D26.A27.D

【分析】本文是一篇記敘文。作者是一個專業(yè)攝影師，受一位編輯之托，前去拍攝一篇關于墨西哥螢火蟲

的報道，介紹了他拍攝的一張關于螢火蟲照片背后的故事。

【24題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“Whenaneditorcalledtoaskif1couldphotographastoryaboutfirefliesinMexico,

Ididn'tcheckmyschedulebeforeIsaidyes.I'dseentheseinsectslightuptheforestsinTlaxcalaoncebefore,

andIjumpedatthechancetogoback.（當一位編輯打電話來問我是否可以為一篇關于墨西哥螢火蟲的報

道拍照時，我沒有查看我的日程安排就答應了。我曾經見過這些昆蟲照亮特拉斯卡拉的森林，我欣然

接受了回去的機會）”可知，作者沒有確認自己的行程就一口答應編輯的請求，由此推知，他很樂意、高

興、激動或者迫不及待地接受了這個請求。故選B。

[25題詳解】

詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞上文“NowIworkasaphotojoumalistinMexicoandalongtheborder,documenting

desperatesituationsthatfaceeverydayMexicans.Thoughnecessaryandimportant,newsstoriesdon'treflect

theMexicothatIfellforandthatishometosomanypeopleIlove.（現(xiàn)在我是一名攝影記者，在墨西哥和邊

境沿線工作，記錄墨西哥人每天面臨的絕望處境。盡管這是必要和車要的，但新聞報道并沒有反映出

我深愛的墨西哥，那里有那么多我愛的人）“可知，作者作為攝影記者在墨西哥工作，記錄著墨西哥人每

天都面臨的危險狀況，而這樣的新聞反映不出作者喜歡的墨西哥。現(xiàn)在有這樣一個關注墨西哥自然美

的工作機全，對作者來說是一個讓他開心的緩解機會。故畫線詞意思為“緩解”。A.Memory.記憶；B.Idea.

主意;C.Victory.勝利:D.Relief.緩解。故選D。

【26題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中"InordertogetthecompositionthatIwanted,Iplacedmytripodonasteep,

rockypathandhadtosteady:itduringthelongexposures.（為了得到我想要的構圖，我把我的三腳架放在一

條陡峭、多巖石的小路匕在長時間曝光時必須使它保持穩(wěn)定）''以及"FromwhatIobserved,peakfireflies

presencelastsforonlyabout20minuteseachnight,soIhadtimeforjustafewtries.（據(jù)我觀察，螢火蟲出現(xiàn)

的峰值每晚只持續(xù)20分鐘，所以我只有時間嘗試幾次）“可知，前兩天晚上，作者想找個合適的地點和

時間拍照。故選A。

[27題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章內容，尤其是最后一段第一句"1wasrewardedwiththeimageyouseehere（我得到

了你們在這里看到的圖像）”結合短文敘述了作者是一個專業(yè)攝影師，受一位編輯之托，前去拍攝一篇關

于墨西哥螢火蟲的報道，介紹了他拍攝的一張關于螢火蟲照片背的故事。可知，本篇文章的目的是向

讀者介紹作者拍攝的照片背后的故事，故選D。

【分析】文章介紹了一種能消除長時間排隊帶來的無聊和身體上痛苦的一種新型發(fā)明裝置“Self-driving”

chairs及其具體使用。

【28題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段Japanesecar-makerNissanannouncesthatithasjustthethingtorelievethepainful

legsoftiredqueuers.可知C項正確；根據(jù)第二段Thenewsystemof'self-driving'chairsisdesignedtodetect

whensomeoneatthefrontofthequeueiscalled,andautomaticallymoveeveryoneelseonestepforwardin

line.可知A、B兩項錯誤；根據(jù)第四段Thesystem,whichissimilartothekindusedinNissan'sautonomous

vehicletechnology,可知D錯誤。故選C.

[29題詳解】

細節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)第三段thechairs,equippedwithautonomoustechnologythatdetectstheseatahead,move

alongapathtowardthefrontoftheline.可知B正確，故選B.

【30題詳解】

猜測詞義題。劃線詞所在的句子指這種裝置能消除排隊帶來的無聊和身體上的痛苦，劃線詞語

eliminate“消除"，與A項同義，故選A.

[31題詳解】

推理判斷題。最后兩段講的是“Self-driving"chairs的具體運用，根據(jù)Chosenrestaurantsthatmeetthe

criteriawillbeabletoshowthechairsoutsidetheirrestaurantnextyear.可知這種椅子還沒有被正式在飯店

使用，故選D.

【答案】32.B33.D34.C35.A

【分析】這是一篇說明文。一家名為CompassPools的公司為攀高和游泳愛好者帶來了一些好消息。最近，

該公司宣布了他們的新設計：一個360度游泳池。它將被安置在倫敦的摩天大樓上，文章介紹了它的兩個

創(chuàng)新點以及令人驚嘆之處。

【32題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第?段的句子Thepoolwillbelaidontopofa55-storyskyscraperandwillallow

peopletofloatover200metersabovetheLondonskylinewithunobstructed（無障礙）viewsofthecity.（游

泳池將建在一座55層的摩天大樓上，人們可以在超過200米高的倫敦摩天大樓上面游泳，并且可以無

障礙的欣賞城市風景）可知，游泳的人可以在游泳池里欣賞倫敦的景色。故選B。

【33題詳解】

詞義猜測題。劃線單詞所在句子意思為：但這并不是游泳池唯一的獨特技術。且劃線單詞位于段首句，

所以我們應從上段中找岀它指代的是什么。根據(jù)文章第二段的句子Theentrancetothepoolis

hidden.Peoplebegantoraisequestionsabouthowanyonewouldgetinsidethepool.（泳池的入口是隱蔽的。

人們開始對如何進入泳池提出問題。）可知，文章第二段解釋的是泳池入口的問題。所以“that”指的是“游

泳池的入口故選D。

【34題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段的句子“Puttingyourgoggles（防水鏡）onandwitha360-degreeviewof

Londonfrom220mup,itreallywillbesomethingelse-butit'sdefinitelynotonefortheacrophobic!在220米

的高處戴上防水鏡，360度瀏覽倫敦的風景，是很酷的…但是它真的不適合恐高的人。）“可知，恐高的

人不適合在游泳池里面游泳。故選C。

【35題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段的句子"Whiletheexactdateoftheconstructionisnotclearyet,ifthingsgo

well,itmaybeginin2020.（具體的施工日期還不確定，如果事情進展順利的話，可能在2020年開始）”

可知，人們什么時候可以在里面游泳還不確定。故選A。
