文章大意：本文是說明文，介紹了世界上著名的四大景點，為了限制過熱的旅游業(yè)給城市帶來的不利

影響，這些旅游景點制訂了關于旅游的一些限制規(guī)則。

21.D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Venice,Italy部分中“Venicehasimplementedstrictrulesregardingtourism:littering,

engaginginhorseplay,notwearingashirtinpublic,leavinglovelocks,andwritingonordamagingtreesor

buildingsareallfineableoffensesinthecity（威尼斯實行了嚴格的旅游規(guī)則：亂扔垃圾、參與打鬧、在公共

場合不穿襯衫、留下愛情鎖、在樹木或建筑物上寫字或損壞樹木或建筑物都是城市中處罰的罪行）”可知，

游客在威尼斯毀壞樹木是要被罰款的。故選D項。

22.C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Amsterdam,theNetherlands的介紹中，“…andthattouristscannotkeeptherental

apartmentsformorethan60daysayear”可知，在阿姆斯特丹，規(guī)定游客一年不能將租賃公寓保留超過60天。

故選C項。

23.B推理判斷題。在Venice,Italy部分中，提到“Venicehasimplementedstrictrulesregardingtourism威尼斯

在旅游方面實施/嚴格的規(guī)定“；在Barcelona,Spain部分中，提到|"Popularattractionshaveevenchangedtheir

niles…受歡迎的景點甚至改變了規(guī)則”;在Santorini,Greece部分中，提到“theislandimposedarulelimiting

visitors…該島實行了一項限制游客的規(guī)定”；在Amsterdam,theNetherlands部分中，提到“thecityhasput

restrictionsonAirbnb-o綜合上面的介紹，可以推斷，這些景點的?個共同點是：為了限制過熱的旅游業(yè)給

城市帶來的不利影響，這些旅游景點都制訂了關于旅游的一些限制規(guī)則或者更改了原有的規(guī)則。故選B項。

文章大意：本文是議論文。西方教育工作者提出“STEAM”的概念，說明“藝術”和其他的核心專業(yè)同樣

重要。中國教育部也發(fā)布了準則，要求高校提供更多與藝術相關的課程，學生需要獲得一定數(shù)量的藝術學

分才能畢業(yè)。藝術教育可以培養(yǎng)他們的自信、團隊合作精神、思維習慣等。

24.C推理判斷題。文章第一段借用西班牙著名畫家PabloPicasso說過的話Everychildisanartist.The

problemhehasishowtoremainanartistoncehegrowsup.”每個孩子都是藝術家。他所面臨的問題是，一旦

3

他長大，如何繼續(xù)成為一名藝術家”，是為了引出下文的關于孩子應該接受藝術教育的話題。故選C項。

25.A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中“weintroducetheconceptof“STEAM”insteadof“STEM"?traditionalucore

lTlajors^^includingscience,technology,engineering,andmath-sincethe"A"，whichstandsfor"arts”,isjustas

important”可知，STEM是傳統(tǒng)的“核心專業(yè)”，包括科學、技術、工程和數(shù)學；STEAM中的A代表“藝術

由此判斷出引入“STEAM”的概念是表示“藝術”和其他的核心專業(yè)同樣重要。故選A項。

26.B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段中“Collegesanduniversitiesarerequiredtoprovidemoreart-relatedcoursesand

studentsneedtoearnacertainnumberofartcreditsinordertograduate.”可知，根據(jù)中國教育部發(fā)布的準則，學

生需要獲得一定量的藝術學分才能畢業(yè)。故選B項。

27.B主旨大意題。西方教育工作者提出“STEAM”的概念，說明“藝術”和其他的核心專業(yè)同樣重要；中國

教育部也發(fā)布了準則，要求高校提供更多與藝術相關的課程，學生需要獲得一定數(shù)量的藝術學分才能畢業(yè)；

文章第6?7段論述藝術教育的作用。因此文章主題是應該發(fā)展藝術教育，讓藝術重回我們的生活中。所以

短文的最佳標題是“讓藝術重回我們的生活中選項B項。

文章大意：本文是說明文。最近的一項新的研究表明，跑步時是深層的核心肌肉保證我們沉重的脊柱

的挺立。因此文章建議做力量訓練，鍛煉深層的核心肌肉力量，這樣才能防止跑步者背部疼痛。

28.A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“Mostnewrunnersassumethatthebestwaytoimproveissimplytorungreater

andgreaterdistances.Whileit'struethatgoingfartherandfasterwillimproveyourrunningskills,..."nJ知，大多

數(shù)新跑步者認為，要提高跑步技能，最好方法是跑步速度更快、距離更遠。故選A項。

29.C推理判斷題。14%的跑步者會經(jīng)歷背部疼痛。第一段中關于一項新研究的介紹中分析了原因，“The

5

resultsofthenewstudyseemtosuggestthatweakdeepcoremusclesmightbetoblame.Whenthesemuscles

aren'tstrongenough,thestudyfound,musclesonotherareasofthebodykickintokeeptherunnerup-right,

eventuallyleadingtobackpain.（這項新研究的結果似乎表明，脆弱的深層核心肌肉可能是罪魁禍首。研究

發(fā)現(xiàn)，當這些肌肉不夠強壯時，身體其他部位的肌肉會起作用，跑步者保持向上的姿勢，最終導致背部疼

痛）”可以推斷，這項新的研究表明，跑步者背部疼痛是因為深層核心肌肉太弱。如果深層核心肌肉強壯，

就能夠預防跑步時背部疼痛。故選C項。

30.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中關于跑步時表層肌肉和深層核心肌肉所起作用的研究的描述，“Whilethe

surfacemusclesareoftentargetedinworkouts...theyareprettyuselesswhenitcomestosupportingyourspine（脊

柱）.Thedeepercoremuscles,...doalltheheavyspinallifting.（雖然在鍛煉中人們看到的是表層肌肉，但是

當涉及到支撐你的脊柱時，表層肌肉是無用的。更深層的核心肌肉負責所有的繁重的脊椎挺立的任務。）”,

因此可以推斷，跑步時先起到作用的可能是深層核心肌肉。故選D項。

31.A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中“Buttheywillprobablyhelpyourunbetteranddefinitelyhelppreventpotential

backpain.Perhapsthrowinganicelongplank（平板支撐）maywork.“可知，作者認為做平板支撐對跑步者有

好處，可以提高深層的核心肌肉力量，能夠幫助你跑得更好，有助于預防背部疼痛。由此判斷出平板支撐

使跑步者受益。故選A項。
