窗外時看起來很悲傷。當她問怎么了時，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東西是什么。）''可知，Pearl關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。

[25題詳析】細節(jié)理解題。由文章第三段"Rubyandhermotherusedtheirownmoneyto

achievethewishesofaround100residentswithinthreemonths.（Ruby和她的母親用自己的錢在

三個月內實現(xiàn)了大約100名居民的愿望。）''可知，Ruby和她的母親最開始用自己的錢來實

現(xiàn)居民的愿望。故選C項。

（答案U28.B29.B30.A31.C

【導語】這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了科學家基于北極熊熊爪的構造設計新型雪地輪胎。

[28題詳析】詞義猜測題。根據第二段“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。根據第四段“Theyfbundthatthetinystructuresonthepolarbear

pawpadsweretaller,whichgavethembetterfrictiononthesnow,eventhoughpolarbearshave

smallerpadscomparedtootherbears."（他們發(fā)現(xiàn)北極熊腳墊上的微小結構更高，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。根據最后一段“"Ifyoulookatsnowtyresyou'llseethattheydo

havesomedeepertreads（夕卜胎花紋），butthisresearchcouldalsoshowvariouswaystodesign

themthatcouldhavealargerimpact,saidDhinojwala."（"如果你看看雪地輪胎，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)它

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

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計不同的

胎面。故選A項。

[31題詳析】主旨大意題。根據第一段"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:用北極熊的爪子設計輪胎。）可知，本文主要介紹

的是科學家基于北極熊爪設計雪地輪胎，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

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

的負面影響。

【32題詳析】推理判斷題。根據第一段中“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.（降噪技術最

早是在20世紀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）”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】細節(jié)理解題。根據第三段中"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)造性任務的表現(xiàn)）”可知，適度的背景噪聲可以提高創(chuàng)造性任

務的表現(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。

[35題詳析】推理判斷題。根據最后一段中“Anover-dependenceonnoise-cancelling

technologyisnotnecessarilythesolution,saysMcAlpine.（過度依賴降噪技術未必是解決問題

的辦法，麥卡爾平說）”可推知，McAlpine對過度依賴降噪技術持否定態(tài)度。故選A項。

第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12?5分）

根據短文內容，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項。
