窗外時看起來很悲傷。當(dāng)她問怎么了時，Pearl解釋說，她看到自己的狗被帶走了，她不知

道什么時候才能再次見到她心愛的寵物。這傷透了Ruby的心，她決定采取行動。她開始問

居民們，世界上他們最想要的三樣?xùn)|西是什么。）''可知，Pearl關(guān)于她的寵物狗的故事啟發(fā)

了Ruby去實現(xiàn)療養(yǎng)院居民的愿望。故選D項。

【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了科學(xué)家基于北極熊熊爪的構(gòu)造設(shè)計新型雪地輪胎。

[28題詳析】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段“Theobviousplacetolookwaspolarbears一specifically

thetinybumps（凸塊）onthesurfaceoftheirpawpads-tofindoutwhateffecttheyhaveonthe

animals9abilitytomovequicklyacrossicyandsnowyarea.^^（最明顯的研究對象是北極熊

特別是它們腳掌表面的小凸起——來發(fā)現(xiàn)它們對動物在冰雪地區(qū)快速移動的能力有什么影

響。）可知，它們指的是北極熊腳掌表面的小凸起對于動物在冰雪地區(qū)快速移動的能力的影

響，推斷處they指代的是B項“小凸起”。故選B項。

【29題詳析】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第四段“Theyfbundthatthetinystructuresonthepolarbear

pawpadsweretaller,whichgavethembetterfrictiononthesnow,eventhoughpolarbearshave

smallerpadscomparedtootherbears."（他們發(fā)現(xiàn)北極熊腳墊上的微小結(jié)構(gòu)更高，這使得它們

在雪地上有更好的摩擦力，盡管北極熊的腳墊比其他熊小。）可知，第四段主要談到的是研

究的發(fā)現(xiàn)。故選B項。

[30題詳析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“"Ifyoulookatsnowtyresyou'llseethattheydo

們確實有一些更深的胎面，但這項研究也可以展示各種設(shè)計方法，這些方法可以產(chǎn)生更大的

影響。''）可知，我們可以從最后一段Dhinojwala的話中推斷出雪地輪胎可能會設(shè)計不同的

胎面。故選A項。

[31題詳析】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段"Agroupofresearchershascomeupwithawaytomake

iteasiertodriveinthesnow:bydesigningtyres（輪月臺）basedonpolarbearpaws.”（——組研究人員

提出了一種使在雪地里開車更容易的方法:用北極熊的爪子設(shè)計輪胎。）可知，本文主要介紹

的是科學(xué)家基于北極熊爪設(shè)計雪地輪胎，c項“基于北極熊爪的雪地輪胎”符合題意。故選C

項。

K答案X32.D33.B34.A35.A

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇議論文。文章探討了現(xiàn)代社會中噪音干擾的問題以及人們使用降噪技術(shù)

的現(xiàn)象。文章指出，雖然降噪技術(shù)在市場上大受歡迎，但過度使用可能帶來身體和社會方面

的負(fù)面影響。

【32題詳析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中“Everywhereyougo,itseemslikepeopleareusing

somethingtoreducethenoiseintheirlives.Theywearover-earheadphonesonpublic

transportation,duringlongflights,orinopen-planoffices,orusecoloredearplugs（耳塞）at

concerts.（無論你走到哪里，人們似乎都在用某種東西來減少生活中的噪音。他們在公共交通

工具上、長途飛行中或在開放式辦公室里戴著戴耳式耳機，或者在音樂會上使用彩色耳塞）”

和第二段中"Noise-cancellingtechnologywasfirstdevelopedinthe1950storeducecockpit

noiseforpilots.Theheadphonestodayusetechnologyknownasactivenoisecontrol.（降噪技術(shù)最

早是在20世紀(jì)50年代發(fā)展起來的，目的是為飛行員減少駕駛艙的噪音。今天的耳機使用了

一種被稱為主動噪聲控制的技術(shù)）”可推知，降噪耳機是用于減少生活中的噪音，在嘈雜的環(huán)

境中創(chuàng)造一種安靜的感覺。故選D項。

【33題詳析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中"Moderate（適中的）backgroundnoise,around70dB,

hasbeenfoundtoadvanceperformanceoncreativetasks,forexample.（例如,研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，適度的

背景噪音（約70分貝）可以提高創(chuàng)造性任務(wù)的表現(xiàn)）”可知，適度的背景噪聲可以提高創(chuàng)造性任

務(wù)的表現(xiàn)，故"Creativetaskperformancecanbeimprovedbythemoderatebackgroundnoise."是

正確表述。故選B項。

【34題詳析】詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞所在句“Somepeoplecanworkreallyeffectivelyin

buzzycafesandevenairports,andyettheycan'tfocusinthesamewayinanoffice.（有些人可以

在buzzy的咖啡館甚至機場高效地工作,但他們卻無法在辦公室里保持同樣的專注）”中

“cafes（咖啡館）”和常識可推知，咖啡館是喧鬧的，故buzzy與lively同義，意為“熱鬧的”。

故選A項。
