1．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)CyclingtheBalkans部分的TheBalkansoffersamixofbeautifulcountryside,fast-developingcitiesandhistorictowns.可知，Balkans有美麗的鄉(xiāng)村，快速發(fā)展的城市和歷史悠久的城鎮(zhèn)。即，Balkans的特別之處是它把歷史和現(xiàn)代的結合在一起。D.Itcombineshistoryandthepresent.(它把歷史和現(xiàn)代結合在一起)符合以上說法，故選D項。

2．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Self-GuidedCyclingintheDouroValley部分的ThiscyclingholidayintheDouroValleywillmakeyoufamiliarwithmagicalsurroundings,deliciouscuisineandsomeoftheworld'sfinestwines.(在DouroValley的騎行上，你會熟悉神奇的景色、享受美味的菜肴和學到一些世界上最好的葡萄酒的知識。)可知，在DouroValley騎行上，你會獲得葡萄酒的知識。D.Acquireknowledgeofwines.(獲得葡萄酒的知識)符合以上說法，故選D項。

【解析】這是一篇記敘文，本文主要講述了做志愿服務時的感人經(jīng)歷，這些經(jīng)歷使成為一個樂于奉獻、懂得感恩的人，認為我們在給與別人幫助的同時也在成就自我。

4．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容，結合本段首句“MynameisJaimicEckertandI’vebeenintovolunteerworksincechildhood.(我叫JaimicEckert，我從小就從事志愿者工作。)”第一段講述了從小到大都在做志愿服務，下文具體講述了的兩次志愿服務經(jīng)歷，所以本段旨在引入“志愿服務”的話題。故選B項。

5．主旨大意題。根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容，結合第二句“Mostofthetime,youdofeelthatyou’remakingadifference.(大多數(shù)時候，你確實感覺到你正在對別人產(chǎn)生影響。)”可知，本段主要通過一個事例講述志愿服務以某種方式影響人們。故選C項。

6．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中“Itbreaksmyhearttorememberthisoldladybeamingwithjoyforsuchsmalleffortsthatwemade.Sometimes,volunteerworkisfulfillingnotbecauseoftheactualjobyougetdone,butbecauseofhowyourpresenceimpactsthepeoplearoundyou.(想起我們的小小努力卻讓老人喜笑顏開，真讓我傷心。有時候，志愿者工作讓人感到充實并不是因為你完成了實際的工作，而是因為你的出現(xiàn)對你周圍的人產(chǎn)生了影響。)”可知，老人是因為我們的出現(xiàn)和幫助而感到高興。故選C項。

7．推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段內(nèi)容“Volunteeringmakesmeabetterpersonbecauseitgetsmeoutsideofmyself.Itputsmyfocusonothers.ItmakesmegratefulforwhatIhave.(志愿工作讓我成為一個更好的人，因為它讓我擺脫了自我。這會讓我把注意力放在別人身上。這讓我對我所擁有的充滿感激。)”可知，文章傳達了志愿服務對于的意義。故選B項。

8．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中“Iwouldn’tdoitifIdidn’tenjoyit(如果我不喜歡它，我就不會去做)”及最后一段中“Volunteeringmakesmeabetterperson(志愿工作讓我成為一個更好的人)”可知，對于志愿服務的態(tài)度是積極的。故選D項。

9．D10．A11．D12．B

【導語】本文是一篇說明文。奧地利科學家研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，用真菌制成的皮革在實用性和可持續(xù)性方面表現(xiàn)得非常好。

9．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“Previously,therewasn’tmuchresearchtosupporttheirclaims.ButastudypublishedbyDr.AlexanderBismarck,amaterialsscientistattheUniversityofVienna,andhiscolleagueslastweekinNatureSustainabilityfindsthatfungalleatherworksquitewellwhenitcomestousefulnessandsustainability.”(在此之前，并沒有太多的研究來支持他們的說法。但是維也納大學的材料科學家AlexanderBismarck博士和他的同事上周在《自然可持續(xù)性》雜志上發(fā)表的一項研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，真菌皮革在實用性和可持續(xù)性方面表現(xiàn)得非常好。)可知，這項研究的主要目的應該是評估真菌皮革的性能。故選D。

10．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Insteadit’smadefromamatofmycelium,thethreadlikerootnetworksfromwhichfruitingbodiesspringupafterrain”(相反，它是由菌絲制成的，菌絲是一種線狀的根系網(wǎng)絡，雨后子實體就是從這些根系網(wǎng)絡中長出來的)可知，菌絲用于生產(chǎn)真菌皮革。故選A。

11．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“sothere’snorealenergyrequirement”(所以沒有真正的能量需求)可知，真菌皮革的優(yōu)點之一是制作過程中節(jié)省能量。故選D。

12．推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“ButDr.Jonesbelievesthatthecostsarelikelytodropastheindustrygrows”(但瓊斯博士認為，隨著工業(yè)的發(fā)展，成本可能會下降)可知，Dr.Jones認為，因為現(xiàn)在大規(guī)模栽培菌類的技術比較成熟，所以真菌皮革的成本很有可能降下來，這樣真菌皮革的價格也會隨之下降。故選B。

13．C14．C15．D16．B

【解析】本文是一篇說明文。主要介紹一項研究表明，鍛煉時聽音樂可以提高運動耐力。介紹了這項研究的過程，以及研究結果證實了跑步者和健身愛好者多年來的懷疑：在鍛煉時聽音樂對你的耐力有好處。

13．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段Ifyou'reoutforarun,whatdifferencedoesitmakeifyou'reabletotoughitoutforanother50secondsIfyou'relessthanaminutefromthetopofthehill,thatextratimecanmakethedifferencebetweenhavingreachedyourgoalandsnatchingdefeatfromthejawsofvictory.(如果你出去跑步，如果你能夠再堅持50秒，會產(chǎn)生什么樣的影響呢？如果你距離山頂不到一分鐘，那么這段額外的時間就可以在你達到目標和從勝利的邊緣搶奪失敗之間做出不同的決定)可知對于運動員來說，最后的一分鐘決定著成與敗。以及第二段中HowdoyougetthoseextrasecondsofenergyAresearchteamattheTexesTechUniversitydevelopedastudytomeasurewhateffectlisteningtomusicwouldhaveonexercisetolerance.可知如何獲得這些額外的能量？德克薩斯理工大學的一個研究小組開展了一項研究，以衡量聽音樂對鍛煉耐力的影響。由此推斷，Shami的小組進行該研究的目的是怎樣提高運動耐力。故選C。

14．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第一句Thegroupthatlistenedtomusicwasabletooutlastthenon-musicgroupbyanaverageof50.6seconds.可知聽音樂的那一組比不聽音樂的那一組平均多堅持了50.6秒。由此可知，音樂對測試者的運動耐力有一定影響，聽音樂可以使他們堅持更長時間。故選C。

15．詞義猜測題。根據(jù)下文but“after30minutes,youfeellikeyouarerunningupamountain,soevenbeingabletogo50secondslongermeansalot可知但是30鐘后你感覺自己好像在爬山，所以即使能多跑50秒也意義重大。由此推斷，but表示轉折，說明上文的意思是能夠多跑一分鐘，一開始好像是很容易的練習，但是三十分鐘后就像在爬山一樣累。故劃線詞意思為“容易的練習”。故選D。

16．推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中"Ourfindingsreinforcetheideathatupbeatmusiccanhelpyouexerciselongerandstickwithadailyexerciseroutine,"saidShami."Whendoctorsarerecommendingexercise,theymightsuggestlisteningtomusic,too."可知Shami說：“我們的研究結果證實了這樣一個觀點，即歡快的音樂可以幫助你鍛煉的時間更長，并能堅持日常鍛煉。當醫(yī)生建議鍛煉時，他們可能也會建議聽音樂?！庇纱丝赏浦?，Shami建議我們鍛煉時聽音樂。故選B。

17．A18．F19．G20．B21．E

【解析】這是一篇說明文。旅行中總是會有一些小病痛，文章主要對此提出了一些建議。

17．空前提到“旅行總是和疾病相伴隨”，并舉例“有多少次你在路上或飛機上三天之內(nèi)流感就來敲門了”；A項“有什么能做的事情嗎？”與空后一句“Waystoprevent(防止的方法？)”承接上文，針對上文的狀況提出問題，引出下文的解決方法，所以A項符合語境。故選A項。

18．空后一句“藥草可以對呼吸道感染的人提高免疫力”是講述藥草的作用，根據(jù)此句中的關鍵詞“too”可知，空處應是也講述了藥草的作用，所以F項“穿心蓮以治療細菌感染而被熟知”切題，故選F項。

19．本段小標題是“DoNotIgnoreSymptoms(不要忽視癥狀)”，G項中“symptoms”與主題呼應，且G項“旅行前如果出現(xiàn)癥狀，如果可能的話就延期旅行”與下一句“這種苦澀的香草可以讓你免遭幾天之苦”銜接自然。故選G項。
