【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。米國(guó)貝魯特大學(xué)開設(shè)了老年大學(xué)，文章介紹了這個(gè)項(xiàng)目的目標(biāo)、所授學(xué)科，以及其社會(huì)意義。

【28題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“Learningdoesn’thavetoendwhenpeopleage.Infact,today’sseniorswanttoremainsociallyengaged,intellectuallystimulated(智力上活躍),andanactivepartoftheircommunitiesaccordingtoTheAmericanUniversityBeirut(AUB)inLebanon,That’swhyAUBopenedTheUniversityforSeniorsthatgivesolderadults—50andup—anopportunityforlifelonglearning.(學(xué)習(xí)不一定要隨著年齡的增長(zhǎng)而結(jié)束。事實(shí)上，根據(jù)黎巴嫩貝魯特米國(guó)大學(xué)的說(shuō)法，今天的老年人希望保持社會(huì)參與，智力刺激，并積極參與他們的社區(qū)。這就是為什么AUB開設(shè)了老年人大學(xué)，為50歲及以上的老年人提供終身學(xué)習(xí)的機(jī)會(huì)。)”，以及第二段中“Thegoaloftheprogramistoestablishacommunityforseniorstolearnforlife,mostofwhomareretirees,(這個(gè)項(xiàng)目的目標(biāo)是為老年人建立一個(gè)終身學(xué)習(xí)的社區(qū)，他們中的大多數(shù)是退休人員，)”可知，AUB開設(shè)老年大學(xué)是為了給老年人提供一個(gè)可以終身學(xué)習(xí)的地方。故選D項(xiàng)。

【29題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一句“Theuniversityincludestwothree-monthsemestersandstudentscantakeanyclasstheywantregardlessoftheireducationallevel.(這所大學(xué)包括兩個(gè)為期三個(gè)月的學(xué)期，學(xué)生可以選擇任何他們想要的課程，無(wú)論他們的教育水平如何。)”可知，老年大學(xué)的學(xué)生可以自由選擇他們想上的課。故選C項(xiàng)。

【30題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“Seniorscangainahostofbenefitsbycontinuingtolearnnewthings.AccordingtoAgingWell,that’sbecauselifelonglearningkeepsthebrainstimulated,challengedandfullyengaged.‘Thishelpsseniorsremainmentallyalertwhiletheyage.Infact,whenpeoplelearnnewthings,thebrain—evenanolderbrain—canformnewconnectionsandpathways,’itadds.(老年人可以通過(guò)不斷學(xué)習(xí)新事物獲得很多好處。根據(jù)AgingWell的說(shuō)法，這是因?yàn)榻K身學(xué)習(xí)使大腦保持刺激、挑戰(zhàn)和完全投入?！@有助于老年人在年老時(shí)保持頭腦清醒。事實(shí)上，當(dāng)人們學(xué)習(xí)新事物時(shí)，大腦——即使是老年人的大腦——也能形成新的聯(lián)系和通路?！?”可知，第一句為本段主題句，第四段提到AgingWell主要是解釋主題句：為什么學(xué)習(xí)對(duì)老年人有益。故選A項(xiàng)。

【31題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“Withthepercentageofover65sinLebanon’spopulationgrowingandthefactthatmanyoftheseseniorslivealonewithoutfamilymembersinthecountry,TheUniversityforSeniorsisplayingaveryimportantroleinthelivesofitsstudents.(隨著黎巴嫩65歲以上人口比例的增長(zhǎng)，以及許多老年人在該國(guó)獨(dú)自生活沒(méi)有家人陪伴的事實(shí)，老年人大學(xué)在其學(xué)生的生活中發(fā)揮著非常重要的作用。)”可知，認(rèn)為這個(gè)為老年人設(shè)置的課程對(duì)于這些老年學(xué)員們來(lái)說(shuō)很有價(jià)值，在他們的生活中發(fā)揮著重要的作用。故選C項(xiàng)。

【答案】32.B33.D34.A35.B

【解析】

【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，主要講的是佐治亞州龐大的桃子產(chǎn)業(yè)的從業(yè)人員發(fā)現(xiàn)更溫暖、更短的冬天令人擔(dān)憂。因?yàn)樘覙涞纳L(zhǎng)需要一定的“寒冷時(shí)間”，所以天氣變暖影響了桃樹的生長(zhǎng)。為了應(yīng)對(duì)這一形勢(shì)，米國(guó)農(nóng)業(yè)部正在研究和開發(fā)新的桃樹品種。

【32題詳解】

詞句猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第一段“Whiletheideaofwarmerandshorterwintersmightsoundappealingtofarmerseagertoseelongergrowingseasons,thoseengagedinGeorgia’shugepeachindustryarefindingthetrendalarming.(對(duì)于那些渴望看到更長(zhǎng)的生長(zhǎng)季節(jié)的農(nóng)民來(lái)說(shuō)，冬天變暖變短的想法可能聽起來(lái)很有吸引力，但那些從事喬治亞州龐大的桃子產(chǎn)業(yè)的人卻發(fā)現(xiàn)這種趨勢(shì)令人擔(dān)憂。)”及第二段“Since1960,theaveragewintertemperatureinGeorgiahasrisenby5°Fandispredictedtoclimbevenhigherbymid-century.(自1960年以來(lái)，佐治亞州的冬季平均氣溫上升了5華氏度，預(yù)計(jì)到本世紀(jì)中葉還會(huì)上升。)”可知，現(xiàn)在的冬季越來(lái)越短。由此可推斷，畫線詞所在句的句意為“對(duì)于那些依靠寒冷天氣來(lái)幫助桃子等作物生長(zhǎng)的農(nóng)民來(lái)說(shuō)，該州冬季的減少是一個(gè)警告，他們必須適應(yīng)，否則就會(huì)面臨其他問(wèn)題”，故畫線詞diminishing意為“減少”，與Decreasing的意思最接近。故選B。

【33題詳解】

主旨大意題。根據(jù)第三段的內(nèi)容“OneofthekeystogrowingtheperfectGeorgiapeachissomethingcalled“chill(寒冷)hours”.Nutandfruittreesrequireacertainnumberofchillhoursbelow45°Ftoregulatetheirgrowth.Withoutthedemandedamount,floweringmaybedelayedinspringandfruitsetandfruitqualitywillbepoor.InGeorgia,hometonearly12,000acresofpeachorchards,anaveragepeachtreerequiresanywherefrom650to850chillhourseachseason.(要種植出完美的喬治亞桃子，關(guān)鍵之一就是所謂的“寒冷時(shí)間”。堅(jiān)果和果樹需要一定數(shù)量的低于45華氏度的寒冷時(shí)間來(lái)調(diào)節(jié)它們的生長(zhǎng)。如果沒(méi)有所需的量，春季開花可能會(huì)延遲，坐果和果實(shí)品質(zhì)會(huì)差。在佐治亞州，有近12000英畝的桃園，一棵桃樹每個(gè)季節(jié)平均需要650到850個(gè)寒冷的小時(shí)。)”可知，桃樹的生長(zhǎng)需要一定的“寒冷時(shí)間”，如果時(shí)長(zhǎng)不夠的話，桃樹的開花和結(jié)果都會(huì)受到影響。由此可推斷，第三段主要強(qiáng)調(diào)“寒冷時(shí)間”對(duì)桃樹生長(zhǎng)的重要性。故選D。

【34題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“Inresponsetothesituation,theUnitedStatesDepartmentofAgriculture(USDA)isexperimentingwithhybrid(雜交的)varietiesthatachievethedelicatebalanceoflowchillandnormalbloom.(為了應(yīng)對(duì)這種情況，米國(guó)農(nóng)業(yè)部正在試驗(yàn)雜交品種，以達(dá)到低溫和正常開花的微妙平衡。)”可知，為了應(yīng)對(duì)目前的形勢(shì)，米國(guó)農(nóng)業(yè)部正在致力于開發(fā)特殊的桃樹品種。故選A。

【35題詳解】

推理判斷題。通讀全文，尤其是第一段的“Whiletheideaofwarmerandshorterwintersmightsoundappealingtofarmerseagertoseelongergrowingseasons,thoseengagedinGeorgia’shugepeachindustryarefindingthetrendalarming.(對(duì)于那些渴望看到更長(zhǎng)的生長(zhǎng)季節(jié)的農(nóng)民來(lái)說(shuō)，冬天變暖變短的想法可能聽起來(lái)很有吸引力，但那些從事喬治亞州龐大的桃子產(chǎn)業(yè)的人卻發(fā)現(xiàn)這種趨勢(shì)令人擔(dān)憂。)”和第二段的“Forfarmerswhodependoncoldweathertohelpcropslikepeachesgrow,thestate’sdiminishingwintersareawarningtoadaptorelse.(對(duì)于那些依靠寒冷天氣來(lái)幫助桃子等作物生長(zhǎng)的農(nóng)民來(lái)說(shuō)，該州冬季的減少是一個(gè)警告，他們必須適應(yīng)，否則就會(huì)面臨其他問(wèn)題。)”可知，本文主要介紹了佐治亞州龐大的桃子產(chǎn)業(yè)受氣候變暖的影響。由此可推斷，本文最有可能出自一本農(nóng)業(yè)雜志。故選B。

第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）

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

【解析】

【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章介紹了幾個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)外語(yǔ)的好主意。

【36題詳解】

由小標(biāo)題“Knowyourmotivation(了解你的動(dòng)機(jī))”可知，本節(jié)講的是學(xué)習(xí)外語(yǔ)的正確動(dòng)機(jī)很重要。上文“ButwantingtoimpressChinese-speakerswithyourEnglishisn’tthebestreason.(但想要用英語(yǔ)打動(dòng)中國(guó)人并不是最好的理由)”談的是不正確的學(xué)習(xí)外語(yǔ)的動(dòng)機(jī)，承接上文，該空應(yīng)該是舉例學(xué)習(xí)外語(yǔ)的正確動(dòng)機(jī)，D選項(xiàng)“嘗試了解英語(yǔ)文化是更好的理由”切題。故選D項(xiàng)。

【37題詳解】
