—兩者的酸性都遠(yuǎn)低于周圍土壤，并且含有更高水平的植物友好營(yíng)養(yǎng)物質(zhì)）”可知，黑

土地富含更多的利于植物成長(zhǎng)的營(yíng)養(yǎng)物質(zhì)，也就是有機(jī)營(yíng)養(yǎng)成分。故選B。

9.答案：C

解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“Scans（掃描）oftheXinguregionsuggestthattheareais

dottedwithdarkearth,andthatholdasmuchasabout9milliontonsofcai'bon一theannual

carbonemissionsofasmall,industrializedcountry."Thisnumbercouldroughlyequalthe

約900萬噸碳——相當(dāng)于一個(gè)小型工業(yè)化國(guó)家的年碳排放量。Perron說：“這個(gè)數(shù)字大

致相當(dāng)于美國(guó)每年的碳排放量，如果把整個(gè)亞馬遜地區(qū)的黑色土壤都考慮在內(nèi)的

話?！睆V可知，這個(gè)地區(qū)的黑土地可以吸附的碳數(shù)量相當(dāng)于一個(gè)小型工業(yè)化國(guó)家的碳排

量。由此可推知，作者提到了美國(guó)每年的碳排放量，是為了強(qiáng)調(diào)黑土地巨大的碳儲(chǔ)存

能力。故選C。

10.答案：C

解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段"Withmoreandmoregreenhousegasesenteringthe

atmosphere,itcouldalsoprovideablueprintfordevelopingmethodsofsustainablylocking

atmosphericcarboninthesoil,helpingfightclimatechange.（隨著越來越多的溫室氣體進(jìn)入

大氣，它也可以為開發(fā)可持續(xù)地將大氣碳鎖定在土壤中的方法提供藍(lán)圖，幫助應(yīng)對(duì)氣

候變化）”可知，黑土地極強(qiáng)的碳吸附能力為對(duì)抗全球氣候變化提供了可能的解決方

案。故選C。

11.答案：B

解析：主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段"Perron,anearthscientistatMIT,reviewedinterview

sofKuikuropeopleconductedbyaKuikurofilmmakerin2018andfoundthatKuikuro

段描述“黑土地極強(qiáng)的碳吸附能力”和第三段“黑土地為對(duì)抗全球氣候變化提供了可能的

解決方案”可知，本文主要介紹了關(guān)于黑土地的一些信息，由此可推知，B項(xiàng)“關(guān)于黑

土地的事實(shí)”最適合作文章標(biāo)題。故選B。

12.答案：C

解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“Gathertogetheracoupleofgoodfriendsandtakea

theyvisitanewcity.（和幾個(gè)好朋友聚在一起，在街上悠閑地散步---這是許多中國(guó)年輕

的當(dāng)?shù)匦〕裕笨赏浦?，Citywalk的主要概念是“城市漫步，多樣化探索”。故選C。

13.答案：D

解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“Ayoungentrepreneur（主辦者）basedinChangsha

出了六條城市步行路線，探索旅游業(yè)的新可能性，旨在為游客提供“在露天博物館行

走”的體驗(yàn)）”可推知，這位年輕的主辦者要在各個(gè)城市創(chuàng)建Citywalk路線是為了提供獨(dú)

特的城市探索體驗(yàn)。故選D。

14.答案：A

解析：詞句猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)畫線詞后的"newphenomenon"和"industryinsiders（業(yè)內(nèi)人士）”

可推斷出，Citywalk是一個(gè)相對(duì)特定和專業(yè)化的現(xiàn)象，與專業(yè)領(lǐng)域相關(guān)。故畫線的詞

“niche”與specialized"專業(yè)化的”接近。故選A。

travelersastheycanbetterchoosetheexperiencesthatalignwiththeirinterestsand

needs.（Citywalk為城市旅行者帶來了積極的變化，因?yàn)樗麄兛梢愿玫剡x擇符合自己

興趣和需求的體驗(yàn)）”可推知，作者對(duì)這一趨勢(shì)持樂觀態(tài)度。故選D。

work”可知，B項(xiàng)”對(duì)一些人來說，小小的變化就可能起作用"符合語境。且B項(xiàng)中的“Forsome

people”與下文中的"forothers"相呼應(yīng)。

③考查細(xì)節(jié)支撐句。根據(jù)空前的內(nèi)容"approachingroutinesituationsasifwemetorsawthemforthe

firsttime...weshouldlookatthemasifwe'dneverseenthem”可知，本段主要講的是把司空見慣的日

常當(dāng)成好像從未見過那樣，保持好奇心。G項(xiàng)提到的“Beginner飛mind”（初學(xué)者思維）與之相符。

④考查段落主旨句。這一段講了在日常生活中，正是來自不同背景、擁有不同經(jīng)歷和持不同觀點(diǎn)

的個(gè)人的存在才創(chuàng)造出了人們對(duì)于變化做出更好反應(yīng)的氛圍,體現(xiàn)了“差異”的意義和重要性。故選

Ao

的事情”。
