【分析】這是一篇夾敘夾議文。作者講述了自己的留學(xué)經(jīng)歷，建議打算出國留學(xué)的學(xué)生慎重

選擇要留學(xué)的大學(xué)。

【24題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段"WhenIwasonmyresearchtofindtheperfectplaceto

studyin,Iconsideredmanyaspects（當(dāng)我在我的研究中尋找完美的地方學(xué)習(xí)時，我考

慮了很多方面）”和uAftercomparingandevaluatingmanycitiesanduniversities,

IfinallydecidedonAustin.（在比較和評估了許多城市和大學(xué)之后，我最終選擇了奧斯

汀。）”可知，作者在尋找大學(xué)時，經(jīng)過了許多比較和評估，并多方考慮。由此可推知，作

者是非常小心謹(jǐn)慎的。故選B。

【25題詳解】

詞句猜測題。根據(jù)上文uUniversitylifewasnotverydifferentfromthelifeinMexico

（大學(xué)生活和墨西哥的生活并沒有太大的不同）”可知，and前后為并列成分，semblable

與“notverydifferent”意思接近，由此可知，semblable意為“相似的"。故選D。

【26題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段"WhatIlikedmostabouttheexperiencewasbeing

abletolivewithstudentsfrommanyplaces,whichallowedmetolearnfromother

【分析】這是一篇新聞報道。文章主要講述了在俄羅斯剛剛宣布對北極這片海底地區(qū)的巨大

石油和天然氣儲備擁有主權(quán)之后，各國爭相爭取在這里的利潤，由此而引出了對于“為什么

北極有這么多石油？”的討論，原來有機物質(zhì)被保存在這里的無氧盆地中，最終使其成為未

來數(shù)百萬年有用的能源來源。

【28題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段內(nèi)容“RisingfromthecenteroftheArcticBasin,theflag

sentaclearmessagetothesurroundingnations:Russiahadjustlaidclaimtothe

vastoilandgasreservescontainedinthisunderwaterarea.（這面旗幟從北極盆地

的中心升起，向周邊國家發(fā)出了明確的信息：俄羅斯剛剛宣布對這片海底地區(qū)的巨大石油和

天然氣儲備擁有主權(quán)。）”可知，樹立旗幟是為了宣布在該地區(qū)勘探石油和天然氣的特權(quán)。

故選D項。

[29題詳解】

推理判斷題。分析前后文語境可知，第二段末尾句“Butlongbeforethisoilracebegan,

howdidtheArcticbecomesorichinenergy?（但早在這場石油競賽開始之前，北極是

如何變得如此豐富的能源的呢？）”可知，該句提出了一個關(guān)于“北極是如何變得如此豐富

的能源的”問題，而閱讀文章第三段內(nèi)容“Firstly,thismeansthere'sahugequantity

oforganicmaterialavailable,intheformofdeadseacreaturessuchasplankton

andalgae…Secondly,thesurroundingringofcontinentsmeansthattheArcticBasin

containsahighproportionofcontinentalcrust…That'ssignificantbecause

continentalcrusttypicallycontainsdeepdepressionscalledbasins,intowhich

organicmattersinks.（首先，這意味著有大量的有機物質(zhì)可用...其次，大陸環(huán)意味著

北極海盆包含著很高比例的大陸地殼……這很重要，因為大陸地殼通常包含被稱為盆地的深

洼地，有機質(zhì)會沉入其中。）”可知，該段內(nèi)容主要回答了“北極是如何變得如此豐富的能

源的”問題，由此可推知，第二段末尾句起到引出下文的作用，即，"Servingasa

connectinglink.（作為連接的紐帶。）”。故選B項。

【30題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章末尾段內(nèi)容“'Normally,inashallowseawithlotsofoxygen,

itwouldnotbepreserved.Butiftheseaisdeepenough,theoxygenatedwatersat

thetopwillbeseparatedfromtheanoxicconditionsatthebase,'Fraserexplained.

Conservedwithintheseoxygen-freebasins,themattermaintainscompoundsthat

finallymakeitusefulasanenergysourceformillionsofyearsinthefuture.（“通

常情況下，在富含氧氣的淺海中，它不會被保存下來。但如果海洋足夠深，頂部的含氧水域

將從底部的缺氧環(huán)境中分離出來，”弗雷澤解釋說。這些物質(zhì)被保存在這些無氧盆地中，這

些化合物最終使其成為未來數(shù)百萬年有用的能源來源。）”可知，有機物質(zhì)在無氧盆地中儲

存下來而最終成為石油。由此可推知，無氧環(huán)境是形成北極豐富能源的重要因素。故選D

項。

【31題詳解】

主旨大意題。通過閱讀文章內(nèi)容可知，文章第一二段用一個事件“各國爭相爭取北極石油和

天然氣開采權(quán)”引出了文章的主旨，即第二段末尾句內(nèi)容“Butlongbeforethisoilrace

began,howdidtheArcticbecomesorichinenergy?（但早在這場石油競賽開始之前，

北極是如何變得如此豐富的能源的呢？）”，并在后文段落進行了詳細的回答。因此，選項

C“WhyistheresomuchoilintheArctic?（為什么北極有這么多石油？）”貼合本文話

題。故選C項。

【分析】這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了來自科羅拉多大學(xué)博爾德分校的一組研究人員發(fā)

明了一種革命性的機器人肌肉。

【32題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段"Theyarestrongandflexibleatthesametime,canfeel

themovementstheyperformand,whenevertheysufferdamage,theycanself-heal.

（它們既強壯又靈活，能感受到自己的動作，一旦受到傷害，它們就能自我修復(fù)。）”可知，

它們能進行自我修復(fù)。故選A。

【33題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段"Tomaketheroboticmuscleswork,theyfilledsome

flexiblematerialwithelectrodes（電極）andwithliquidandoil.Then,theyapplied

someelectricity,andtheliquidandoilstartedmovingaroundtheelectrodesand

poweredthem.（為了讓機器人肌肉工作，他們在一些柔性材料中填充電極、液體和油。然

后，他們加上一些電，液體和油開始在電極周圍移動，為它們提供動力。）”可知，該裝置

是使用液體和油直接為電極供電。故選B。

[34題詳解】

主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章最后一段“Thesemusclesarespecialbecausetheyarealso

self-healing.（這些肌肉很特別，因為它們也能自我修復(fù)。）”和aIntheend,thematerial

whichkeepstheliquid,theoilandtheelectrodesisextremelycheap.（最后，保

存液體、油和電極的材料非常便宜。）”可知，文章最后一段主要講述的是機器人肌肉的優(yōu)

勢。故選C。

【35題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段"AteamofresearchersfromtheUniversityofColorado

Boulderhavecreatedarevolutionarytypeofroboticmuscles.（來自科羅拉多大學(xué)

博爾德分校的一組研究人員發(fā)明了一種革命性的機器人肌肉。）”結(jié)合下文內(nèi)容可知，文章

主要介紹了一個新的發(fā)明，這和科學(xué)相關(guān)。由此推知，這篇文章最有可能出現(xiàn)在報紙的科技

板塊。故選D。

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，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選
