1.A

2.B

3.D

【分析】

這是一篇記敘文。ZachariahFike有一個(gè)不同尋常的業(yè)余愛(ài)好：他在網(wǎng)上和古董店里尋找舊

的軍隊(duì)勛章，然后將這些勛章歸還它們的合法主人。文章主要敘述了他這一愛(ài)好的起源。

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的ZacknowsthemeaningofaPurpleHeart—heearnedone

himselfinawarasasoldier.Sowhenhismothergavehimthemedal,heknewrightawaywhathe

hadtodo.可知，當(dāng)Zac還是一名士兵的時(shí)候，在一次戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中他獲得了一枚PurpleHeart。故

A項(xiàng)正確。

2.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Todriveeighthourstocometoseeme.”可以推知，Adeline

為了那枚PurpleHeart開(kāi)車(chē)八個(gè)小時(shí)來(lái)見(jiàn)Zac,由此可知，她對(duì)于這件事是認(rèn)真地。故B選

項(xiàng)正確。

3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中的Corrado,atranslatorfortheArmyduringWWII,waskilledin

actioninEurope.和倒數(shù)第三段中的“ButasIgrewolder,“Adelinesays,“andmissedmybrother

moreandmore,Irealizedthatwastheonlythingwehadleft”可知,這枚勛章寄托了Adeline對(duì)

于去世的哥哥Corrado的回憶和思念，這是他們家留下的唯一關(guān)于哥哥的東西了。因此她很

珍惜這枚勛章。故D選項(xiàng)正確。

4.D

5.B

6.D

7.C

8.A

【分析】

本文為議論文。文章講述了自己的專(zhuān)業(yè)選擇及學(xué)習(xí)的經(jīng)歷，并論述了人文學(xué)科的特色和優(yōu)勢(shì),

告訴人們要用所有的精力去追求自己的夢(mèng)想的專(zhuān)業(yè)，不管別人怎么想。

4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的But,onceIfoundoutmyfriendsweregoinginto“real”majors,

likemarketing,nursing,andengineering,IfiguredIneededtodothesametoensureagoodcareer.

SoIchangedmymindandchoseBusinessManagementasmymajor.（但是，當(dāng)我發(fā)現(xiàn)我的朋友

們正在進(jìn)入“真正的”專(zhuān)業(yè)，比如市場(chǎng)營(yíng)銷(xiāo)、護(hù)理和工程，我想我也需要做同樣的事情來(lái)確保

一個(gè)好的職業(yè)生涯。所以我改變了主意，選擇了商業(yè)管理作為我的專(zhuān)業(yè)）可知，作者選擇商

業(yè)管理專(zhuān)業(yè)是因?yàn)檫@可以讓他擁有更好的職業(yè)體驗(yàn)、更實(shí)用。故D選項(xiàng)正確。

5.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的ActuallyideasdiscussedinHumanitiesclasses,whichare

occasionallydifferentfromwhatpeoplecommonlybelieve,offerabroadperspective（視角）.（人

文學(xué)科課堂上討論的觀點(diǎn)，有時(shí)與人們通常認(rèn)為的有所不同，提供了一個(gè)廣闊的視角）可知，

作者認(rèn)為交換觀點(diǎn)可以獲得更加全面的觀點(diǎn)。故B選項(xiàng)正確。

6.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的whilehumanitiesmajorslearn''softskills"likecommunicating

effectivelythroughwritingcriticallyandspeakingpersuasively,synthesizing（綜合）ideasthrough

gatheringandinterpretinginformation,anddevelopingculturalawareness.（人文專(zhuān)業(yè)的學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)

“軟技能”，比如通過(guò)批判性寫(xiě)作和有說(shuō)服力的說(shuō)話來(lái)有效溝通，通過(guò)收集和解釋信息來(lái)綜合

思想，培養(yǎng)文化意識(shí)）可知，學(xué)習(xí)軟技能包括學(xué)習(xí)溝通和說(shuō)話技巧。而在與商業(yè)伙伴談判時(shí)，

需要很好的溝通和說(shuō)話技巧，所以軟技能會(huì)扮演著最重要的角色。故D選項(xiàng)正確。

7.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的Thejobmarketisquietlycreatingthousandsofopeningsa
