【答案】4.B5.B6.C7.D

【解析】

【分析】這是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了作者在學(xué)校開展SSR（持續(xù)靜默閱讀）的歷程以及反思經(jīng)驗。

【4題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的"SSRprogramscanbeofferedatactuallyanygradelevel."可知I,實際上，SSR（持

續(xù)靜默閱讀）課程可以提供給任何年級。即SSR課程適合所有年級的學(xué)生。故選B。

【5題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的“Yearslater,whenIreturnedtotheUniversityofSouthernCalifornia,Ibegan

analyzingalargesampleofSSRstudiestodeterminewhatmadethemeffectiveandfoundthatsuccessfulprograms

sharedfivekeyfactors:easyaccesstoreadingmaterials,sufficientlyinterestingmaterials,teachers9encouragement,

follow-upactivitiesandreadingatleasttwiceaweek.可知，多年后，當我回到南加州大學(xué)時，我開始分析大

量SSR研究樣本，以確定是什么使它們有效，并發(fā)現(xiàn)成功的項目具有五個關(guān)鍵因素：易于獲取閱讀材料、

足夠有趣的材料、教師的鼓勵、后續(xù)活動和每周至少兩次閱讀。由此可知，多年后作者對SSR（持續(xù)靜默

閱讀）的研究表明了成功的SSR（持續(xù)靜默閱讀）計劃取決于五個關(guān)鍵因素。故選B。

【6題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段的“Theresultwasthatthestudentsatmyschooloutperformedtheotherschoolinfour

areas:readingcomprehension,positiveattitudestowardreading,frequencyofafter-schoolpleasurereading,and

useofawiderrangeofreadingsources.可知，結(jié)果是，我校學(xué)生在閱讀理解能力、積極閱讀態(tài)度、課后休

閑閱讀頻率、閱讀資源使用范圍更廣等四個方面勝過其他學(xué)校。由此可知，作者的理想SSR（持續(xù)靜默閱

讀）計劃幫助他的學(xué)生擁有了更好的閱讀理解能力。故選C。

【7題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的"Iknewthattheremustbewaystoimprovetheimplementation（實施）ofmySSR

program,butIwasn'tsurewhattheywere.”可知I,我知道一定有方法可以改進我的SSR計劃的實施，但我不

確定它們是什么。根據(jù)第2題的分析可知，多年后作者對SSR（持續(xù)靜默閱讀）的研究表明了成功的SSR

（持續(xù)靜默閱讀）計劃取決于五個關(guān)鍵因素。根據(jù)第三段的“Infact,onlywhenteachersfollowspecific

guidelinesdotheseprogramsachievetheirfullpotential.Havinglearnedthis,Idecidedtocreatean“ideal”SSR

programformystudentsbyemployingthefivefactorsabove.可知，事實上，只有當教師遵循特定的指導(dǎo)方

針時，這些課程才能充分發(fā)揮其潛力。了解到這一點后，我決定通過以上五個因素為我的學(xué)生創(chuàng)建一個理

想的SSR計劃。根據(jù)第3題的分析可知，作者的理想SSR（持續(xù)靜默閱讀）計劃幫助他的學(xué)生擁有了更好

的閱讀理解能力。由此可知，作者寫這篇文章的目的是分享SSR（持續(xù)靜默閱讀）的“操作方法”。故選D。

【答案】8.A9.B10.C11.C

【解析】

【分析】這是一篇說明文。研究表明，年輕男孩和女孩大腦中使用相同的機制和網(wǎng)絡(luò)來解決數(shù)學(xué)問題。并

介紹了研究的過程以及解釋了女孩和年輕女性一般都傾向于避開數(shù)學(xué)和STEM職業(yè)的原因。

【8題詳解】

詞義猜測題。第一段中的"Thelowpercentageofwomeninscience,technology,engineering,and

mathematics（STEM）careersisoftenattributed（歸因于）tomenbeingbelievedtobebetteratthesortofthinking

thosefieldsrequire/1女性在科學(xué)、技術(shù)、工程和數(shù)學(xué)職業(yè)上的低比例往往歸因于男性被認為更擅長這些領(lǐng)

域需要的思考方式?！皔ounggirlsandboysusethesamemechanismsandnetworksinthebraintosolvemath

problems."年輕男孩和女孩大腦中使用相同的機制和網(wǎng)絡(luò)來解決數(shù)學(xué)問題。根據(jù)句意，并且though表示轉(zhuǎn)

折，可以推斷出前后觀點不一致，所以，研究結(jié)果駁斥了前面的觀點。由此可知“debunked”的意思是反

駁，故選A項。

【9題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的內(nèi)容"theteamselected104youngchildren,between3and10yearsold,divided

almostequallybygender.ThescientistsusedafunctionalMRItoobservetheirbrainactivity..."在他們的研究

中，研究小組選擇了104名年齡在3到10歲之間的兒童，他們的性別幾乎相同?？茖W(xué)家們使用功能性核磁

共振成像來觀察……可知，第二段講述了研究對象，觀察的方法，研究的內(nèi)容等，所以第二段關(guān)注了研究

的過程。故選B項。

30題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的內(nèi)容“itmayberootedinsocialandculturalconventions.Previousstudieshave

indicatedthatparentstendtospendmoretimewithyoungboysinplaythatinspirespatialcognition（空間認

知）一suchastoysthatinvolvelearningnumberskillsandshapesandsolvingpuzzles.Educatorswerealso

observedtospendmoretimewithboysduringmathclass."Cantion認為這可能根植于社會和文化習(xí)俗。之前

的研究表明，父母傾向于花更多的時間和小男孩一起玩能激發(fā)他們空間認知能力的游戲，比如學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)字技

能、形狀和解決謎題的玩具。研究還發(fā)現(xiàn)，教育工作者在數(shù)學(xué)課上花更多的時間和男孩在一起?？芍?，傳

統(tǒng)的偏見導(dǎo)致了STEM職業(yè)中缺少女性。故選C項。

【11題詳解】

主旨大意題。文章第一段中的"younggirlsandboysusethesamemechanismsandnetworksinthebraintosolve

mathproblems”（年輕男孩和女孩大腦中使用相同的機制和網(wǎng)絡(luò)來解決數(shù)學(xué)問題。）是全文的主題句，后文

解釋了研究的過程以及女孩和年輕女性一般都傾向于避開數(shù)學(xué)和STEM職業(yè)的原因。可知，所以這篇文章

最合適的題目是“男孩和女孩:在數(shù)學(xué)方面同樣有天賦”，故選C項。

【點睛】概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段開頭再看全文找主題句，若無明顯主題句，就通過關(guān)鍵詞句

來概括（如議論文中尋找表達作者觀點態(tài)度的詞句，記敘文尋找概括情節(jié)和中心的動詞或反映人物特點的形

容詞）。文中出現(xiàn)兩種或兩種以上的不同觀點時，務(wù)必牢記作者的觀點才是體現(xiàn)全文中心的。該文是介紹一

個研究結(jié)果的，該類文章的中心一般就在第一段。因此，考生直接抓住第一段中的“younggirlsandboysuse

thesamemechanismsandnetworksinthebraintosolvemathproblems即可找到文章中心。

【答案】12.C13.D14.B15.A

【解析】

【分析】這是一篇說明文，最新發(fā)表的研究結(jié)果，在一項大型調(diào)查中，近40%的受調(diào)查者反映的最初記憶

可能是虛構(gòu)的；這些記憶或基于早期經(jīng)歷的記憶片段或與童年相關(guān)的一些事實或認識，還可能無意識地添

加更多細節(jié)。

【12題詳解】

詞義猜測題。根據(jù)上文“38.6%of6,641participantsclaimedtohavememoriesfromage2oryounger,with893

peopleclaimingmemoriesfromage1oryounger（6641名參與者中有38.6%的人聲稱擁有2歲或更小的記憶，

893人聲稱擁有1歲或更小的記憶）”可以推斷出，劃線句意為“這一現(xiàn)象在中年和年長的成年人中尤為普

遍”，所以劃線詞“prevalent”意為“普遍的”。故選C項。

【13題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中“thesefictionalmemoriesarebasedonrememberedfragments（碎片）ofearly

experience—suchasapram（嬰兒車），familyrelationshipsandfeelingsad—andsomefactsorknowledgeabout

theirowninfancyorchildhoodwhichmayhavebeenderivedfromphotographsorfamilyconversations（這些虛構(gòu)

的記憶是基于早期經(jīng)歷的記憶片段——比如嬰兒車、家庭關(guān)系、悲傷感，以及一些關(guān)于自己嬰兒期或童年

的事實或知識，這些可能來自照片或家庭對話）”可以得出，家庭成員之間的對話會影響最早的記憶。故選

D項。

【14題詳解】

推理判斷題。倒數(shù)第三段MarlinConway提出他的觀點，即人類的記憶是基于早期經(jīng)歷的記憶片段。根據(jù)倒

數(shù)第二段“Forthisperson,thistypeofmemorycouldhaveresultedfromsomeonesayingsomethinglike'mother

andalargegreenpram1.Thepersonthenimagineswhatitwouldhavelookedlike.Overtimethesefragmentsthen

becomeamemoryandoftenthepersonwillstarttoaddthingsinsuchasastringoftoysalongthetop（對這個人來

說，這種類型的記憶可能來自于某人說‘媽媽和一個綠色的大嬰兒車’之類的話。然后這個人就會想象它的樣

子。隨著時間的推移，這些碎片就會成為記憶，人們通常會開始添加一些東西，比如一串玩具在上面）”可

知，MartinConway是在列舉實例來證明自己的觀點。故選B項。

【15題詳解】

主旨大意題。通讀全文，結(jié)合第一段中“Inalargesurveyofpeople'sfirstmemories,nearly40%ofparticipants

reportedafirstmemorythatislikelytobefictional（在一項關(guān)于人們最初記憶的大型調(diào)查中，近40%的參與者

報告說，他們的最初記憶很可能是虛構(gòu)的）”可知，本文主要講述研究表明許多人的最初記憶或為虛構(gòu)的。

故選A項。

第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12?5分）

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

【答案】16.F17.C18.B19.E20.A

【解析】

【分析】這是一篇說明文。針對現(xiàn)在很多人找不到合適工作的現(xiàn)象，作者給讀者推薦了一些可以在這方面

提供幫助的方法。

【16題詳解】

上文Forsome,thingsworkoutfine.（對于一些人來說，事情進展得很順利）與F.Butothersoftenfindthemselves

stuckinajobtheyhate.（但其他人常常發(fā)現(xiàn)自己被困在不喜歡的工作中）承接自然，上下文構(gòu)成明顯的轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)

系,some和others是關(guān)鍵詞，故選F項。

【17題詳解】

下文findoutwhatjobsareavailableandwhatyouroptionsare.（查明現(xiàn)在有什么工作，以及你的選擇是什么）與

C.Thesitesuggestsyoudothesamewithyourcareer.（這個網(wǎng)站建議你這樣來處理你的職業(yè)）承接自然，下文是

對選項內(nèi)容的解釋，故選C項。

【18題詳解】

根據(jù)本段的結(jié)構(gòu)，尤其是上文的Beforeyouseeamovie（在你看電影前）和Next,decidewhichmovieyoulike

best（然后，決定你最喜歡哪部電影）可知此處用B.Finally,decidehowtogetmovietickets』最后，決定你怎樣

買到電影票）符合陳述事情的發(fā)展順序，故選B項。

【19題詳解】

Haveyoutraveloverseas?Doyouhaveanyextracertificatesbesidesyourdegree,suchasafirstaidlicense,for

example?（你是否有旅外經(jīng)歷？你是否有任何除學(xué)位之外的其它證書，例如急救執(zhí)照）與E.Somejobsrequire

youtohavecertainlifeexperiences.（一些工作要求你有特定的生活經(jīng)歷）承接自然，下文提到的內(nèi)容就是一些

工作所要求的特定生活經(jīng)歷或技能，故選E項。

teamworkmightnotsuityou.（你是外向還是內(nèi)向。是害羞還是內(nèi)向？如果你喜歡獨自工作，那么需要大量團

隊合作的工作可能不適合你）與A.Yourpersonalitymatters,too.（你的性格也很重要）承接自然，下文提到的

outgoing,extroverted,shy和introverted都是一個人的性格，故選A項。
