【答案】21.B22.D23.C

【解析】

這是一篇應(yīng)用文?文章主要介紹了三家倫敦牛津街附近最好的旅館的情況，包括地址和特色

等信息。

[21題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)TheLondonEDITION部分中Themulti-functionallobbymakesagreat

entrance,thoughit'stherestoredceiling,oldnotnew,thatreallygrabstheattention.可知多功能大

廳是一個(gè)很好的入口，不過，真正吸引人們注意的是修復(fù)后的天花板（舊的而不是新的）。

由此可知，在TheLondonEDITION,顧客最有可能被修復(fù)的天花板所吸引。故選B。

【22題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)TheLangham,London部分中Marylebone,London,England（英國(guó)倫敦，

Marylebone）以及TheGrazingGoat部分中Marylebone,London,England（英國(guó)倫敦,Marylebone）

可知，TheLangham,London和TheGrazingGoat的共同之處是他們位于倫敦的Maryleboneo

故選Do

【23題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中There'ssomethingofavillagefeeltothisareaofLondonthatis

difficulttocorrespondwiththetouristgroupsmomentsaway——butifsmostwelcome.可矢口倫敦的

這個(gè)地區(qū)有一種鄉(xiāng)村的感覺，這種感覺很難與遠(yuǎn)處的旅游團(tuán)相適應(yīng)一一但這是最受歡迎的。

由此可知，TheGrazingGoat酒店能給客人一種置身于鄉(xiāng)村的感覺。故選C。

B

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。本文主要講述的是經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展和環(huán)境破壞之間的聯(lián)系。并詳細(xì)分析了經(jīng)濟(jì)增

長(zhǎng)的多個(gè)方面對(duì)環(huán)境的不同影響。

【24題詳解】

主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章主題段第一一段Providinghumanitywiththesethingsisconnectedtothe

useofnaturalresources,whichrequiresenergy.Inturn,thecommonsourcesofenergyweuse

todaycausepollution,soeconomicgrowthisalmostunavoidablyassociatedwith

environmentaldamage.可知為人類提供這些東西與自然資源的使用有關(guān)，這需要能源。反過

來，我們今天使用的普通能源會(huì)造成污染，所以經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)兒乎不可避免地與環(huán)境破壞聯(lián)系在

一起。所以本文主要講述的是經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展和環(huán)境破壞之間的聯(lián)系。故D正確。

[25題詳解】

詞句猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)Theseplantsproducealotofwaste,leadingtothepollutionofwaterandthe

atmosphere,whichmaycausenegativelongtermhealtheffectstonearbypopulationsofanimals,

orpeople.Theyalsoleadtoglobalwarming.可知，這些植物產(chǎn)生大量的廢物，導(dǎo)致水污染和大

氣，這可能會(huì)對(duì)附近的動(dòng)物或人的健康造成長(zhǎng)期的負(fù)面影響。所以這些植物不僅僅產(chǎn)生很多

的垃圾，而且也會(huì)導(dǎo)致全球變暖。所以“They”指的是“工業(yè)植物”。故B正確。

【26題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段1,2行Industrialmanufacturingleadstotheconstantly

increasingenergyconsumption.Thetraditionalenergysources,whicharecommonlyused

nowadays,areconsideredtobethegreatestpolluterstotheenvironment.可知，工業(yè)制造導(dǎo)致能

源消耗不斷增加。目前普遍使用的傳統(tǒng)能源被認(rèn)為是對(duì)環(huán)境的最大污染源。所以工業(yè)制造對(duì)

環(huán)境產(chǎn)生的破壞作用是很大的，故C正確。

【27題詳解】

推理判斷題。本文第一段是主題段，第二段說明經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)是環(huán)境破壞的主要原因。第三段

做出列舉，接下來的4,5,6三段具體說明各種經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)的行為對(duì)環(huán)境的影響。最后一段進(jìn)行

總結(jié)，故B正確。

C

【答案】28.D29.B30.B31.A

【解析】

這是一篇新聞報(bào)道。文章介紹了一群準(zhǔn)哈佛學(xué)生因在社交媒體上發(fā)布攻擊性表情包，而被校

方撤回了錄取通知，此事在全世界引發(fā)了各方的熱議。

【28題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的""ItsoundslikeHarvardisintrudingtoodeeplyintothe

privatelivesofstudents,“AlanDershowitz,aretiredHarvardLawSchoolprofessor,toldThe

Guardian.llItmayaffectthemforlife."可知，AlanDershowitz認(rèn)為哈佛對(duì)學(xué)生的私生活干涉

得太深了，這個(gè)決定可能會(huì)影響他們的一生。由此推知，AlanDershowitz認(rèn)為校方撤回這些

學(xué)生的錄取通知書是錯(cuò)誤的。故選D。

【29題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的"ButoneofHarvard'sownpoliciessaysithastherightto

withdrawoffersofacceptanceifan''admittedstudentengagesinbehaviorthatbringsintoquestion

hisorherhonesty,maturity,ormoralcharacter”,accordingtotheHarvardCrimson.“可知,哈佛

大學(xué)的一條政策解釋到：如果被錄取的學(xué)生從事的行為使他或她的誠(chéng)實(shí)，成熟或道德品格受

到質(zhì)疑，哈佛大學(xué)有權(quán)撤回錄取通知。由此可知，哈佛大學(xué)撤回錄取通知書可能是因?yàn)檫@些

學(xué)生的道德品質(zhì)是有問題的。故選B。

【30題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第四段"Theincidenthascausedfiercedebates,bothintheuniversityand

aroundtheworld."可知，這一事件在大學(xué)和全世界引起了激烈的爭(zhēng)論；倒數(shù)第三段列舉了

即將入學(xué)的大一新生JessicaZhang的觀點(diǎn):有很多話題不應(yīng)該被開玩笑；倒數(shù)第二段列舉了

哈佛大學(xué)法學(xué)院退休教授AlanDershowitz的觀點(diǎn)：哈佛對(duì)學(xué)生的私生活干涉得太深了，這個(gè)

決定可能會(huì)影響他們的一生；最后一段中的“Theuniversitydidn'texplainthedecisionto

withdrawtheoffers,sayingitdoesn'tcommentpubliclyontheadmissionofindividual

applicants."提到哈佛大學(xué)沒有解釋撤回錄取通知的決定。由此可知，文章中提到了該事件

引發(fā)的反應(yīng)及各方對(duì)這件事的態(tài)度，作者沒有發(fā)表自己的看法，可知作者是在客觀地描述這

件事及各方的反應(yīng)。故選B。

[31題詳解】

標(biāo)題判斷題。通讀全文，尤其根據(jù)第一、二段中的“Butsometimes,sendingthewrongmeme

canmeantrouble.n和“Atleast10studentswhowereadmittedtoHarvardUniversitylosttheir

chancetostudythereafterpostingoffensivememesinaprivateFacebookgroup,theuniversity's

studentnewspaper,theHarvardCrimson,reportedonJune5.”可知，有時(shí)候，發(fā)送錯(cuò)誤的表情

包意味著麻煩。至少10名準(zhǔn)哈佛學(xué)生因在社交媒體上發(fā)布攻擊性的表情包，而被校方撤回

了錄取通知。即本文主要介紹了有望進(jìn)入哈佛大學(xué)的學(xué)生因在社交媒體上發(fā)布攻擊性的表情

包從而付出了沉重的代價(jià)，因此A項(xiàng)適合作為文章的標(biāo)題。故選A。

D
