【答案】24.A25.C26.D27.C

【解析】

本文是記敘文。今年，突如其來的疫情，讓無數家庭、情侶被迫分隔兩地，甚至被困異國他

鄉(xiāng)。文章講述了47歲的JuanManuelBallestero駕駛小帆船穿越了大西洋與家人團聚的故

事，完美詮釋了我國那句老話：所愛隔山海，山海亦可平。

【24題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據第三段的“Ballesterosaid.“Iwantedtodoeverythingpossibleto

returnhome.Themostimportantthingformewastobewithmyfamily.”（Ballestero

說，“我想盡一切努力回家。對我來說，最重要的是和我的家人在一起?？芍琂uan

ManuelBallestero開始他的旅程的原因是為了和家人團聚。故選A。

【25題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據最后一段的“Whilehedidn'tgettocelebratehisfather*s90th

birthdayinMay,hedidmakeithomeintimeforFather'sDay.（雖然他沒有在五

月慶祝他父親的90歲生日，但他確實在父親節(jié)的時候趕回家了。）“可知，JuanManuel

Ballestero沒能慶祝他父親的生日。故選C。

【26題詳解】

詞句猜測題。根據第一段的“Hesteppedaboardhissmallsailboatforwhatturnedout

tobean85-dayodysseyacrosstheAtlantic.（他登上了他的小帆船,結果是一次為期

85天的穿越大西洋的奧德賽一一冒險之旅。）”可知，他駕駛一條小帆船，穿越大西洋，再

結合下文“theauthoritiesinPortugalwarnedhimhemightnotbeallowedtore-enter

ifheranintotroubleandhadtoturnback.（葡萄牙當局警告他,如果他遇到麻煩,

不得不掉頭返回，可能不會允許他再次入境）”可推斷，Ballestero進行的旅程是冒險的。

故劃線詞與D項adventurous意思相近。故選D。

【27題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段的“Amedicalprofessionaladministeredatestfor

Covid-19onthedock.Within72hours,afterthetestcamebacknegative,hewas

allowedtosetfootonArgentinesoil.（一名醫(yī)學專業(yè)人員在碼頭上對他進行了新冠病

毒檢測，在72小時內，測試結果陰性后，他被允許踏上阿根廷的土地）”可知，他一到達就

進行了新冠病毒檢測。故選C。

【答案】28.A29.B30.D31.C

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章主要講了比利時科學家研發(fā)了一款草莓采摘機器人Rubion,這款機

器人無論是對種植者還是消費者都有諸多好處，未來科學家還會研發(fā)出各種收割機器人。

【28題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據第一段"ThispieceofBelgianinnovationisnotonlyananswerto

thelaborshortageintheagriculturalindustry,butalsoallowsgrowerstoincrease

thequalityofitsproduce-whichintheendbenefitstheconsumer.,,（比利時

的這一創(chuàng)新不僅解決了農業(yè)勞動力短缺的問題，也讓種植者提高了產品的質量，最終使消費

者受益）可知這款機器人可以幫助解決勞動力短缺的問題。故選A。

【29題詳解】

主旨大意題。根據第二段ButforOctinionthefocusisclearlyonaddingquality.

“Thankstorobotics,wehavesomanypossibilities,muchmorethanahumancould

諸多優(yōu)點。故選B。

【30題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據最后一段"Octinionplansonlaunchingharvestingrobotsforother

cropsintheupcomingyears.”（Octinion計劃在未來幾年推出其他農作物的收割機器

人）可推知，科學家正在研發(fā)各種收割機器人，即各種收割機器人正在路上。故選D。

【31題詳解】

主旨大意題。根據第一段"Arobotnavigatesthroughthestrawberries,detectingripe

ones,pickingwithoutbruisingandplacingtheminitsbasket.Itsoundsfuturistic

butitispossiblenowthankstoRubion,thepickingrobotforstrawberries."（機

器人會在草莓中導航，發(fā)現成熟的草莓，在沒有擦傷的情況下采摘，然后將草莓放入籃子中。

這聽起來很未來主義，但由于草莓采摘機器人Rubion的出現，這一切現在都成為了可能）

結合全文內容，可知這篇文章主要講了比利時科學家研發(fā)了一款草莓采摘機器人Rubion,

這款機器人無論是對種植者還是消費者都有諸多好處，未來科學家還會研發(fā)出各種收割機器

人。這篇文章最好的題目是“草莓采摘機器人的出現”，該題目言簡意賅地概括了文章主題。

故選Co
