第一節(jié)（共15小題；每小題2.5分，滿分37.5分）

A

【語(yǔ)篇解讀】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。短文介紹了世界上幾個(gè)出名的圖書館。

21.A解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由TheRoyalLibraryofAlexandria41likenessoftheancientlibrarywasbuilt

inAlexandriaandwasopenedonOctober16,2002.”可知，在亞歷山大,仿古圖書館被建造，并于2002年10月

16日開館。故選Ao

22.D解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由CelsusLibrary中的“butitwasdestroyedinwars,leavingsomeruins.Evenso,it

isnowstillsoworld-famousforitsbeautifulstructurethatmanyvisitorscometoseeit.”可知，但它在戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中被摧

毀，留下一些廢墟。盡管如此，它現(xiàn)在仍然以其美麗的結(jié)構(gòu)而聞名于世，以至于許多游客前來(lái)參觀。所以在

CelsusLibrary能欣賞到美麗的遺跡。故選Do

23.A解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由BodleianLibrary中的“BodleianLibraryisattachedtoOxfordUniversity”可知，

BodleianLibrary的特別之處在于它隸屬于一所大學(xué)。故選A。

B

【語(yǔ)篇解讀】本文是一篇新聞報(bào)道。短文報(bào)道了一只世界上最小的企鵝在新西蘭克賴斯特徹奇的蒙克斯

灣被發(fā)現(xiàn)，它迅速地得到了當(dāng)?shù)厝说谋Ｗo(hù)。這只小企鵝在返回海洋之前，將生活在克賴斯特徹奇企鵝康復(fù)中

心。

24.C解析：推理判斷題。由第一段“Theworldcanbeascaryplacewhenyou'reyoung.Itcanbeevenscarier

whenyou'reayounglittlebluepenguin,theworldssmallestpenguin."可知，當(dāng)你年幼時(shí),世界對(duì)你來(lái)說(shuō)是一個(gè)可

怕的地方。如果你是一只年幼的藍(lán)色小企鵝（世界上最小的企鵝）時(shí)，世界對(duì)你來(lái)說(shuō)是一個(gè)更加可怕的地方。所

以通過(guò)關(guān)鍵詞“evenscarier,ayoung”可以判斷出，對(duì)于第一段中的小企鵝，作者很同情它。故選C項(xiàng)。

25.C解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段“Luckily,therearesomehumanswillingtohelp,whosteppedintoprotect

Billy”可知，幸運(yùn)的是，有一些人愿意幫忙，他們挺身而出保護(hù)了這只小企鵝。故選C項(xiàng)。

26.D解析：推理判斷題。由第四段"It'sunusualforabluepenguintobeoutintheopenonthebeachduring

theday.”可知，一只藍(lán)企鵝白天在海灘上露天活動(dòng)是很不尋常的。所以通過(guò)DOC的官員所說(shuō)的話可以判斷出，

藍(lán)企鵝很少白天出現(xiàn)在海灘上。故選D項(xiàng)。

27.D解析：主旨大意題。通過(guò)全文尤其是第二段以及最后一段中的“Luckily,therearesomehumans

willingtohelp,whosteppedintoprotectBilly,abluepenguinthatappearedonabeachinChristchurch,New

Zealand."和"Thecentrewillhelpthelittlepenguingainsomeweightbeforeitallowedtoreturntotheocean.“可知，

幸運(yùn)的是，有一些人愿意幫忙，他們挺身而出保護(hù)了出現(xiàn)在新西蘭克賴斯特徹奇海灘上的藍(lán)色企鵝比利。該

中心將幫助這只小企鵝在重返海洋之前增加體重。所以短文的最佳標(biāo)題是“保護(hù)小企鵝”。故選D項(xiàng)。

C

【語(yǔ)篇解讀】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。詞與詞的根源的研究，聽起來(lái)像是在小圖書館里布滿灰塵的房間做的

無(wú)聊的事情，但是現(xiàn)在詞源研究已經(jīng)越來(lái)越豐富和有趣，語(yǔ)言專家們像考古學(xué)家一樣研究單詞的歷史和來(lái)源，

詞源的運(yùn)用也更加多樣。

28.C解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第三句"Thisispartlyduetoitsabilitytoadaptforeignwordsso

readily.”和croissant(fromFrench)可知，這里作者是想表明英語(yǔ)吸收了很多外來(lái)詞，故選C。

29.B解析：詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第四段第一句"OneofthebiggestquestionsEnglishlanguageexpertshave

pursuedishowEnglishcametohavethephraseOK."可知，英語(yǔ)專家們一直探究的最大問(wèn)題之一就是英語(yǔ)怎么

會(huì)有“0K”這個(gè)詞語(yǔ)。這里dugup是“探索，深究”的意思，和pursued的意思最接近，故選B。

30.A解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句"Whatthesewordexpertssolvearemysteriousoriginsof

someofourmostcommonwords.“可知，專家們解決的是我們最常見的詞的神秘起源的問(wèn)題，故選A。

31.C解析：寫作意圖題。文章第一段點(diǎn)明主旨。詞與詞的根源的研究，聽起來(lái)像是在小圖書館里布滿

灰塵的房間做的無(wú)聊的事情，但是現(xiàn)在詞源研究已經(jīng)越來(lái)越豐富和有趣，語(yǔ)言專家們像考古學(xué)家一樣研究單

詞的歷史和來(lái)源，詞源的運(yùn)用也更加多樣，故選C。

D

【語(yǔ)篇解讀】本文是一篇議論文，主要闡述了“早起的鳥兒有蟲吃”這一理論并不一定適合每一個(gè)人。每

個(gè)人都根據(jù)自己最喜愛(ài)的作息時(shí)間工作或者生活才能達(dá)到最佳的狀態(tài)。

32.B解析：推理判斷題。作者開頭先舉名人的例子，提出“早起好”這樣的觀點(diǎn)，后對(duì)這個(gè)觀點(diǎn)進(jìn)行質(zhì)

疑，引出后文討論的話題。

33.A解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段第二句"Andcomparedtonightowls,thcyYelesshkelytobedepressed.

drinkorsmoke.”以及第五段第二句"Night-timepeoplearealsomoreopenandmorecreative.”可推知，早起型的人

更加保守，但是更樂(lè)觀。

34.D解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段KatharinaWulff說(shuō)的幾句話可以推斷出，她認(rèn)為最好不要徹底

改變一個(gè)人的睡眠時(shí)間。

35.D解析：推理判斷題。文章第一段提出很多人贊成“早起的鳥兒有蟲吃”這個(gè)觀點(diǎn)，但是第二段就對(duì)

這個(gè)觀點(diǎn)提出質(zhì)疑，然后舉例說(shuō)明早起的人和夜貓子各有利弊。所以作者寫這篇文章就是為了說(shuō)明“早起的鳥

兒有蟲吃'’并不一定適合每一個(gè)人。
