過它，觀眾可以一睹中國古代的創(chuàng)造力和智慧）”可知，大運河不僅促進了經(jīng)濟的發(fā)展，也促進了華北和華

東之間的文化交流。故選B。

【答案】24.C25.D26.A27.C

【解析】

【分析】這是一篇夾敘夾議的文章。根據(jù)作者常年的觀察研究，歷史景觀不僅是歷史的遺留也是我們追朔

自己身份的重要資源，它們對人類有重要意義。同時文章指出，為了人類的下一代，我們要盡量保護這些

歷史景觀。

【24題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段“Landscapesarenotonlythesettingforhistory;theyarealsoamajorsourceofour

senseofhistoryandidentity.Readthemright,andhistoricallandscapescanbemoreinformativethananyotherkind

ofsource.”景觀不僅僅是歷史的背景；它們也是我們歷史感和認同感的主要來源。正確地認識它們，歷史景

觀可能比任何其他類型的來源提供更多的信息。由此可知，歷史景觀可以提供大量的歷史信息，故選C。

【25題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段“Overtheyears,I'vehadthegoodfortunetohavespenttimeinmanyhistorical

landscapes,hopingtopicturesomethingofthespiritsofthepeoplewhoshapedthemoverthecenturies.^^多年來，

我有幸在許多歷史景觀中駐足，希望能描繪出幾個世紀以來塑造這些景觀的人們的精神風貌。由此可知，

作者參觀歷史景觀時想要探索的是幾個世紀前的工匠們的精神，故選D?

【26題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段最后兩句"ThefirstcircleatStonehengewasmade5,000yearsago,andthegreat

stonecircleitselfinaround2,500BC—theageofthepyramids!Andthemysteriesofthisamazingmonumentand

thecomplexprehistoricsocietiesthatproduceditarebynomeansexhausted,asnewdiscoveriescontinuetoshow."

巨石陣的第一個圓圈是在5000年前建造的，而巨大的石圈本身是在公元前2500年形成的——那就是金字塔

時代!這個令人驚嘆的遺跡和產(chǎn)生它的復(fù)雜的史前社會的神秘之處并沒有窮盡，正如新的發(fā)現(xiàn)繼續(xù)表明的那

樣。由此可知，巨石陣的第一個石圈比金字塔的歷史要長，故選A。

【27題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“Allthemoreworryingtomethen,thisuniquelandscapeiscurrentlyatthecentreofa

projectedplanbyHighwaysEngland,whichaimstorelievecongestionontheA303bycreatingafour-laneroadwith

a1.8-miletunnel,andanexpresswayinterchange1.5milestothewest.^^更讓我擔心的是，這一獨特的景觀目前

史遺跡并對后代有影響，所以應(yīng)該是不支持的態(tài)度，即：應(yīng)該停止這一計劃，故選C。

【點睛】推理判斷題的推斷對象主要包括隱含意思、目標讀者、觀點態(tài)度、文章出處、寫作意圖等。以推

斷隱含意義的題目居多。推斷隱含意義，即要求根據(jù)文章的某個句子、段落或全文所提供的事實進行邏輯

推理，推斷出作者沒有提到、沒有明說或者可能發(fā)生的事實。題干中常含infer（推斷），suggest（暗示），

imply（暗示），indicate（暗示），conclude（推斷，得出結(jié)論）等詞語。解此類題，首先找到相關(guān)信息，然

后細讀、理解相關(guān)信息的字面意義，最后結(jié)合語境和常識，在字面意義的基礎(chǔ)上進行符合邏輯的推斷，從

而理解作者的言外之意。如小題4,根據(jù)第四段“Allthemoreworryingtomethen,thisuniquelandscapeis

【答案】28.D29.B30.D31.A

保斤】

【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了研究發(fā)現(xiàn)忙碌的人往往比閑著的人生活滿意度更高，所需要的休閑時

間更少，研究者對這一研究對人們的影響持積極的態(tài)度。

【28題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的"researchhasindicatedthatpeoplewhoarebusytendtobehappierthanthosewho

areidle,whethertheirbusinessispurposefulornot.,,可知，研究表明，忙碌的人往往比閑著的人更快樂，也就

是說忙于工作的美國人的滿意度更高，故D項正確。

【29題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的"foundthatemployedpeople'sratingsoftheirsatisfactionwithlifepeakedwhen

theyhadintheneighborhoodoftwoandahalfhoursoffreelimeaday.Forpeoplewhodidn'twork,theoptimal（最

佳）amountwasfourhoursand45minutes."可知，有工作的人滿意的休息時間是兩個半小時，而不工作的人

滿意的休息時間則是4小時45分鐘，也就是說不工作的人需要更多的休閑時間來感到滿足，故B項正確。
