【答案】l.A2.C3.D

【解析】

【導語】本文是一篇應用文。文章主要介紹了GrandCanyonNationalPark的相關信息，包括公園的位置、

覆蓋范圍、公園的開放和關閉時間、公園的信息、可達性、入園費用以及可持續(xù)性等方面。

【1題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據文章"Accessibility”部分中的“Theterrain（地形）isruggedwithnarrow,rockytrailsand

steepcliffs.Visitorsusingwheelchairsorhavingvisualdisabilitiesmayneedassistance.Formoreinformation

aboutaccessibilityinGrandCanyonNationalPark,see/lrtxl2.（地形崎嶇，有狹窄的巖石小徑和陡峭

的懸崖。使用輪椅或有視力障礙的訪客可能需要幫助。欲了解大峽谷國家公園的更多信息，請訪問。）”可

知，殘障人士可以訪問了解為他們設計的公園設施的詳細信息。故選A。

【2題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據文章"ParkEntranceFees”部分中的"Admissiontotheparkus$35perprivatevehicle;$30

permotorcycle;and$20perpersonenteringtheparkthroughGrandCanyonRailway,parkshuttlebus,walking,or

ridingabicycle.Thepasscanbeusedforsevendaysandincludesbothrims.（每輛私家車入園門票35美元；每輛

摩托車30元；通過大峽谷鐵路、公園班車、步行或騎自行車進入公園每人20美元。該通行證可使用7天，

包括兩個輪輛。）”可知，每輛私家車入園門票35美元，且通行證可使用7天。由此可知，如果你和你的父

母計劃開車去大峽谷國家公園度假6天，那么費用應為35美元。故選C。

【3題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據文章第一段"LocatedinnorthernArizona,theparkcovers277milesoftheColoradoRiverand

nearbyuplands.Oneofthemostawesomeexamplesoferosion（侵蝕）intheworld,GrandCanyonisunmatchedin

theinparableviewitofferstovisitors.（該公園位于亞利桑那州北部，覆蓋了277英里的科羅拉多河和附近的高

地。大峽谷是世界上最令人敬畏的侵蝕范例之一，它為游客提供了無與倫比的景色。）”可知，大峽谷的風

景是世界上最令人嘆為觀止的風景之一。故選D。

【答案】4.A5.C6.B7,D

【解析】

【導語】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。作者通過講述一個年輕女子努力實現自己目標的故事，來表達如果沒有

一個強有力的理由或目標，生活中的任何事情都是困難的。

【4題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據第一段“IoncemetayoungwomanwhohaddreamsofswimmingfortheU.SOlympicteam.

Shehadtogetupeverymorningat4a.m.toswimfor3hoursbeforegoingtoschool.Shedidnotpartywithher

friendsonSaturdaynight.Shehadtostudyandkeephergradesup,justlikeeveryoneelse.（我曾經遇至U過一位年

輕女子，她夢想成為美國奧運代表隊的一員。她每天早上4點起床，游泳3個小時后才去上學。星期六晚

上她沒有和朋友聚會。她必須學習，保持好成績，就像其他人一樣）”可知，文章以一個年輕女子的故事開

頭，所以是舉例子開頭。故選A項。

【5題詳解】

詞句猜測題。根據第二段中“Shesimplysaid,“IdoitformyselfandthepeopleIlove.Ifslovethatgetsmeover

thehurdlesandsacrifices."（她只是說，“我這么做是為了我自己和我愛的人。是愛讓我克服障礙和犧牲。

可知，此處是年輕女子在解釋是什么讓她一直堅持，所以前面是作者在問她是什么促使她有如此超人的野

心和犧牲，所以pelled此處是"促使"之意，與forced意思相近。故選C項。

【6題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據第四段中“Firstthe“don'twants”,fortheycreatethe“wants'/首先是"不想要”,因為它

們創(chuàng)造了“想要“）”可知，“想要”來自“不想要”。故選B項。

【7題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據第六段中“Ihavelostmoneyandbeensetbackmanytimes,butitwasthedeepemotional

reasonsthatkeptmestandingupandgoingforward.Iwantedtobefreebyage40,butittookmeuntilIwas47

withmanylearningexperiencesalongtheway.（我已經失去了錢，多次被挫敗，但正是深層次的情感原因讓我

站起來繼續(xù)前進。我想在40歲時自由，但我直到47歲才實現,一路上有很多學習經歷）”以及第七段“Iwish

Icouldsayitwaseasy.Itwasn,t,butitwasn'thardeither.Butwithoutastrongreasonorpurposeanythinginlifeis

hard.（我希望我能說這很容易。不是，但也不難。但如果沒有一個強有力的理由或目標，生活中的任何事情

都是困難的）”可知，后文是對劃線句子的解釋，所以從劃線的句子中了解到，在現實中，沒有更深層次的

情感原因，我們可能會遇到更多的障礙。故選D項。

【解析】

【導語】這是一篇說明文。主要介紹了詩歌的一些特點以及詩歌的幾種分類。

【8題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據文章第四段“Lyrics:Thelyricmainlyconcentratesonhumanthoughtsandemotionsrather

thanastory.Lyricsalwaysbearsonglikeappeal.Thesearemainlyshortpoems.Popularlyricpoemformsarethe

elegy,theodeandthesonnet.WilliamShakespeare,EdmundWallerandJohnKeatsaresomeofthegreatestlyric

writersofalltimes.（抒情詩：抒情主要集中在人的思想和情感，而不是一個故事。抒情詩總是具有歌曲般的

感染力。這些主要是短詩。流行的抒情詩形式是挽歌、頌歌和十四行詩。威廉?莎士比亞、埃德蒙?沃勒

和約翰?濟慈都是有史以來最偉大的抒情作家）”可知，抒情詩的特點：表達人的思想和情感；具有歌曲特

點；詩詞較短；挽歌、頌歌、十四行詩都屬于抒情詩。故選D。

【9題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據第五段中的“Epicsandballadsfallunderthistype.（史詩和民謠屬于這一類）”可知，Epics

和ballads屬于敘事詩。故選C。

【10題詳解】

推理判斷題。第五段敘事詩中“SomeofthegreatestepicpoetsareJohnMilton,Dante,EdgarAllanPoe,

AlexanderPope,WilliamShakespeare,etc.（一些最偉大的史詩詩人是約翰?彌爾頓、但丁、埃德加?愛倫?坡、

亞歷山大?波普、威廉?莎士比亞等）”提及到了莎士比亞，第六段戲劇詩中"WilliamShakespeare,

ChristopherMarloweandBenJonsonaresomeofthegreatdramaticpoets.（威廉?莎士比亞、克里斯托弗?馬洛

和本?瓊森都是偉大的戲劇詩人）”也提及到了他，說明有的詩人不只寫一種類型的詩，如莎士比亞。故選

Co

【11題詳解】

主旨大意題。本文是一篇說明文，總分總結構。主要向我們介紹了詩的特點、分類等一些基本知識，所以A

【答案】12.A13.B14.D15.A

【解析】

【導語】這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了Zeigarnik效應，以及出現這種情況的原因。

【12題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據第二段"Popularbeliefhasitthatintemiptionbreakstheflowofyourthinkingandaffects

productivitynegatively,andsoitisadvisablethatyouhaveanuninterruptedsessionofintensiveworkbeforeyour

nextbreak.（人們普遍認為，打斷會打斷你的思維，對工作效率產生負面影響，所以建議你在下次休息前進行

一段不受打擾的高強度工作）”可知，完成一項任務的常見做法是精力集中地工作一段時間。故選A。

【13題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據第四段的“Itturnsoutthatadultsrememberedtheinterruptedtasks90%betterthanthepleted

tasks,andthatchildrenwereevenmorelikelytorecalltheunpletedtasks.Inotherwords,unpletedtaskswillstay

onyourminduntilyoufinishthem!（結果表明，成年人對被打斷的任務的記憶比完成的任務高出90%,而孩子

們甚至更有可能回憶起未完成的任務。換句話說，未完成的任務會一直留在你的腦海里，直到你完成它們!）”

可知，Zeigarnik的實驗發(fā)現“中斷”能提高記憶力。故選B。

【14題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據倒數第四段的"Inparisontotasksthatwerealreadyfinishedandonesthatwehaven'teven

started,halfdoneprojectsaregiventhepriorityinthementaltodolistourbrainssketchoutforus.（與已經完成的

任務和還沒有開始的任務相比，完成了一半的項目在我們的大腦為我們勾畫的待辦事項清單中被賦予了優(yōu)

先級）”可知，Zeigarnik效應指的是完成了一半的項目在我們大腦的待辦事項清單中被賦予了優(yōu)先等級。由

此推知，看電視連續(xù)劇是Zeigarnik效應應用的一個例子，因為電視連續(xù)劇的劇集有時間間隔，導致人們被

“中斷”，以至于時刻想著看劇這件事。故選D。

【15題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據倒數第三段的"Onepossibleexplanationisthatwithinterruptedtasks,wearedesperatefor

theirclosuretoreclaimasenseofbalance.Finishingthemalsomeansthatwecanfinallyclearupthemental

backlog（積壓的工作）andgivethespacetomoreupingtasks.（一種可能的解釋是，對于被打斷的任務，我們迫

切希望結束它們，以恢復一種平衡感。完成它們也意味著我們最終可以清理心理上的積壓，為更多即將到

來的任務騰出空間）”可知，Zeigarnik效應可能的一個原因是渴望平衡。故選A。

第二節(jié)（共5小題，每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分）

根據短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。

【答案】16.G17.B18.D19.C20.E

【解析】

【導語】本文為一篇說明文。人類用現代醫(yī)學和手術可以使人類延年益壽，但是人們卻忽視了每日都有人

死于交通事故，作者剖析了事故原因，指出車輛是司機個性的延伸，有人為了自己圖個方便，在開車時顯

露出了自己陰暗的一面，作者認為交通規(guī)則再怎么嚴也不為過，這樣才能減少事故的發(fā)生。

【16題詳解】

上文“Weliveinaremarkabletime,andmanyoftheoncefataldiseasescannowbecuredwithmodemmedicine

andsurgery.（我們生活在一個非凡的時代，許多曾經致命的疾病現在可以用現代醫(yī)學和外科手術治愈。）”,

G項"Itisalmostcertainthatonedayacurewillbefoundfortherestofthediseases.（幾乎可以肯定的是，總有

一天會找到治療其他疾病的方法。）”，上文提到了manyoftheoncefataldiseases,許多曾經致命的疾病現

在可以治愈，G項提及therestofthediseases,其他的一些疾病在未來肯定也可以治愈，故上文與G項語意

銜接連貫順暢。故選G項。

【17題詳解】

上文everydaywewitnesstheincrediblekillingofmen,womenandchildrenontheroads.Manfightsagainst

themotorcar.Itisaneverendingbattlewhichmanislosing.（每一天，我們都目睹了令人難以置信的男人、女人

和兒童在道路上被殺害。人類與汽車搏斗。這是一場人類正在輸掉的永無休止的戰(zhàn)斗。）"，B項"Everyyear

thousandsofpeoplearehorriblykilled,andwesitstillandletithappen.（每年都有成千上萬的人慘死，而我們卻

坐視不管。）”，上文認為人類處于天天要面對交通問題，且天天有人死于交通事故的狀態(tài)，B項解釋了其

中原因，因為即使人們每天面對因交通問題導致的死亡，卻沒有任何行動，為因果關系。故選B項。

【18題詳解】

D項“Someonehasrightlysaidthatwhenapersonissittingbehindthesteeringwheel,hiscarbeesanextensionof

hispersonality.（有人說得對，當一個人坐在方向盤后面時，他的車就變成了他個性的延伸。）"，下文"There

isnodoubtthatthemotorcaroftenbringsoutaman'sveryworstqualities.Usuallyquietandpleasantpeople,when

theyarebehindthesteeringwheel,willbeeunrecognizable.Theyareimpolite,aggressive,selfwilledlike

twoyearold,pletelyselfish.Alltheirhiddenfrustrations,disappointments,andjealousyseemtobecausedby

driving.（毫無疑問，汽車常常使人顯露出最壞的品質。平時安靜愉快的人，當他們坐在方向盤后面時，就會

變得無法識別。他們不禮貌，好斗，任性得像兩歲的孩子，完全自私。他們所有隱藏的沮喪、失望和嫉妒

似乎都是由開車引起的。）”，D項表明開車人的個性在他開車的方式上會有所表現，下文是對D項內容的

延伸，開車過程中，開車人會呈現出最糟糕的一面，上下文語意連貫順暢。故選D項。

【19題詳解】

driving.（毫無疑問，汽車常常使人顯露出最壞的品質。平時安靜愉快的人，當他們坐在方向盤后面時，就會

變得面目全。他們不禮貌，好斗，任性得像兩歲的孩子，完全自私。他們所有隱藏的沮喪、失望和嫉妒似

乎都是由開車引起的。）"，C項"Surprisingly,societyshouldsmileatthedriverandforgivehim.（令人驚訝的

是，社會應該對司機微笑并原諒他。）"，下文"Ifsallforhisownconvenience.（這都是為了他自己的方便。）”，

上文描述了人們一旦操控方向盤，就會展現出他們的糟糕的品行，而C項則說明這種現象在社會上被認為

是可以理解的，下文則是進一步解釋，出現這種現象，源于開車人發(fā)現路況對自己不友好，沒有得到自己

想要的方便，上下文語意連貫。故選C項。

是嚴重的。畢竟，世界屬于人類，而不是汽車。）“，下文中的Thesemeasures指代上文中的政府方面的措施，
