【答案】24.A25.A26.C27.D

置，旨在照亮醫(yī)療保健和其他重要工作人員的工作日。文章還介紹了人們對此做法表示稱贊，

以及Mille對自己這一行動的態(tài)度。

workers.（最近，一位設(shè)計師在紐約曼哈頓的街道上創(chuàng)作花卉裝置，旨在照亮醫(yī)療保健和其

他重要工作人員的日子。）”可知這些花卉裝置主要是為醫(yī)務(wù)人員設(shè)計的。故選A。

【25題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的"Apostwithpicturesofthe"flowerflash''asMillercallsthemhas

gottenmorethan16,000likesinlessthanaday.（一篇貼著米勒所說的"flash”照片的帖子在

不到一天的時間里就得到了超過1.6萬個贊）”可知，由此可推知，市民們認為Miller的花卉

裝置的想法是值得贊揚的。故選A。

【答案】28.D29.A30.C31.B

【解析】

【分析】這是一篇說明文。英國最傳統(tǒng)的節(jié)日之一是海濱度假。以前英國人選擇出國游，但

近些年來，受全球經(jīng)濟影響，更多的英國人選擇國內(nèi)游。因此，英國也開始在國內(nèi)探索自己

了.

【28題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段Also,theworldseemsalesscertainplaceasinterconnectedeconomies

（經(jīng)濟）riseandfall,whichmeansthatthecostofforeignholidaysislesspredictablethanbefore.

可知，隨著相互關(guān)聯(lián)的經(jīng)濟體的起伏，世界似乎是一個不那么確定的地方，這就意味著國外

度假的費用比以前更不可預測。由此可以看出，更多的英國人在自己國家度假，是因為國外

度假的費用不穩(wěn)定。故選D。

【29題詳解】

詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞前面的Thedomestic（國內(nèi)的）tourismindustry—whenpeoplegoon

holidayintheirowncountry——ishealthierthanithasbeenindecades.nJ"知，國內(nèi)旅游業(yè),即人

們在自己的國家度假，比過去幾十年更健康。由此可以猜出，英國報紙發(fā)明的一個新詞

staycation的意思是“在國內(nèi)度假”。故選A。

【30題詳解】

主旨大意題。根據(jù)第四段ThereisnowanincreasedappreciationamongBritonsforthediversity

oftheUK.Itisnotjustthegeography,whichrangesfromtheflatfens（沼澤）ofEastAngliatothe

valleysofWalestothemountainsofScotland,whichisdiverse.Anditisnotjustthediversityof

tobeofinteresttodomestictourists.nJMl,現(xiàn)在,英國人越來越欣賞英國的多樣性。多樣性不

僅僅是地理上的，從東安格利亞的平原沼澤，到威爾士的山谷，再到蘇格蘭的群山，這些都

是多樣的；多樣性也不僅僅是基于氣候的各種活動，英格蘭溫暖的西南部沖浪，北部的爬山

滑雪；還有國內(nèi)游客開始感興趣的文化的多樣性。由此可以看出，描述的多樣性包含了地理

上的和文化上的。結(jié)合選項，本段最合適的標題是“寬度和廣度”。故選C。

[31題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段ThereisnowanincreasedappreciationamongBritonsforthe

diversityoftheUK.可知，現(xiàn)在，英國人越來越欣賞英國的多樣性。結(jié)合前面提到，更多的

英國人選擇在國內(nèi)旅游，說明英國開始發(fā)現(xiàn)自己了。由此可以推斷出，文章的目的是指出，

英國開始發(fā)掘自己了。故選B。

【解析】

【分析】這是一篇說明文，一個科學家團隊使用水下?lián)P聲器播放健康珊瑚礁的聲音，誘使魚

類回到死去的珊瑚礁地區(qū)，這些魚會幫助受損的珊瑚礁恢復健康。

【32題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句‘'"Damagedreefshaveahigherchanceofrecoveryifthey

havehealthyfishpopulation,"thescientistswroteinthereport.（"如果被破壞的珊瑚礁擁有健康

的魚群數(shù)量，那么它們恢復的幾率會更高。”科學家們在報告中寫道。）”可知，科學家們

播放健康珊瑚礁的錄音，吸引魚類的目的是幫助受損的珊瑚礁恢復健康。故選C項。

【33題詳解】
