COmmUnityinI938.（這個巨大的三明治在城市里被簡單地稱為“牛肉”，它把切成薄片的烤牛肉和青椒堆

在棕色的法國面包上，起源于1938年的意大利裔美國人社區(qū)）”、ItalianSllb中的"Chicago'sversion

RedHotismadeupofnineingredients（原料）.（1929年,芝加哥紅熱由九種原料組成）”可知,在四種必吃的

芝加哥三明治中，Italiansub歷史最悠久。故選B。

【2題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據Reuben中的uMadewithroastedbeef,Swisscheeseandsaltedvegetables,theReubenwas

加哥的必吃菜肴清單上，你會發(fā)現各種各樣的面包餐）”及全文可知，文章通篇介紹了芝加哥的四種必吃的

三明治。由此推知，文章來源應該是雜志的旅游部分。故選C。

【答案】4.C5.B6.D7.D

【解析】

【導語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了研究人員使用視頻通話幫助寵物鸚鵡擺脫孤獨。

【4題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據文章第一段"Whenhumansarefeelinglonely,wecancallorvideochatwithfriendsand

familywholivefaraway.But,scientistsasked,whataboutpetparrots?Newresearchsuggeststhatthesechatty

creaturesmayalsobenefitfromvirtuallyconnectingwiththeirPeerS.（當人類感到孤獨時，我們可以和遠方朋

友和家人打電話或視頻聊天。但是，科學家們問，寵物鸚鵡呢?新的研究表明，這些健談的生物也可能從

與同伴的虛擬交流中受益。）"和第二段"Feelingboredandlonely,theymaydeveloppsychologicalissuesand

caneventurntoself-harmingbehaviourslikepullingouttheirfeathers.（感至IJ無聊和孤獨，他們可能會出現心理

問題，甚至會出現自殘行為，比如拔羽毛。）”可知，寵物鸚鵡會感到無聊、孤獨，研究人員借鑒人們用視

頻通話來消除孤獨的方法，看看鸚鵡會不會收益。所以研究的目的是為了幫助鸚鵡擺脫低落情緒。故選

CO

【5題詳解】

主旨大意題。根據文章第三段“Intheinitialstage,thebirdslearnttoringabellandthentouchaphotoof

anotherbirdonatabletscreentostartacalltothatbird.（在最初階段，這些鳥學會了搖鈴，然后觸摸平板電腦

屏幕上另一只鳥的照片，開始向那只鳥發(fā)出叫聲。）"和"InthesecondstageNhepaiTotscouklchoosetocan

otherbirdsattheirownwillbyringingthebellthenselectingthebirdtheywantedtocall.（在第二階段，鸚鵡可

以根據自己的意愿選擇叫其他鳥，先搖鈴，然后選擇他們想叫的鳥。）”可知，本段主要介紹了實驗的兩個

階段，即實驗的過程。故選B。

【6題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據第四段"Shecamealiveduringthecalls,,,onepetownersaidaboutherbird,accordingtoa

NortheasternUniversitystatement.（根據東北大學的一份聲明，一位寵物主人對她的鳥說：“她在叫聲中活

了過來?？赏茢?，作者引用鸚鵡主人的話是為證明研究人員關于研究得到了令人鼓舞的結果的論述。

故選D。

【7題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據文章最后一段“"TheanimalInternetisalreadyhere一therearehundredsofproductsonthe

marketthatletpetownersinteractwiththeiranimalsremotelyoverthenet,buttheirdesignisprimarilyfocusedon

whathumanswant,notwhattheirpetsneed,^^Hirskyj-DouglasfromtheUniversityofGlasgowadded.（格拉斯哥

大學的赫斯基?道格拉斯補充說：“動物互聯(lián)網已經出現了一一市場上有數百種產品可以讓寵物主人通過網

絡遠程與他們的動物互動，但它們的設計主要關注的是人類想要什么，而不是寵物需要什么?？芍?/p>

赫斯基-道格拉斯說市場上已有的數百種產品主要關注寵物主人的需求，而不是寵物的的需求，所以這次研

究和以往的差別是關注了寵物的需求。故選D。

【答案】8.C9.A10.C11.A

【解析】

【導語】本文是一篇說明文。主要介紹的是著名律師BenedictMorelli經營的一家律師事務所MorelliLaw

Firm的經營范圍，成功秘訣等相關情況。

【8題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據第二段中的"Onecriticalreasonfortheirsuccessisthatunlikemanyfirms,MorelliLawhas

theexperience,patience,andresourcestopursuealldifficultCaSeS.（他們成功的一個關鍵原因是，與許多公司不

同，莫瑞里律師事務所有經驗、耐心和資源來處理所有困難的案件。）”可知，他們成功的關鍵是他們擁有

處理復雜案件的經驗，耐心和資源。故選C項。

【9題詳解】

詞義猜測題。根據第三段中的“Whenaskedwhethertheywouldfeelafraidwhenfacingdifficultopponentsin

court,44Atmycore,I'matriallawyer,,,saidBenedictMoreni.（當被問及在法庭上面對難纏的對手時，他們是否

會感到害怕時，莫瑞里說：“在我的內心，我是一名出庭律師。可知，有人問及他們在法庭上面對難纏

對手時是否會害怕，他說他是一名出庭律師，由此可知，上法庭不會讓他們“害怕”，所以，劃線單詞的意

思是“使害怕”。故選A項。

【10題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段中的uThefirmisdevotedtorealizingitsclients,goalsbothinsideandoutsideof

thecourtroom.（該公司致力于實現其客戶在法庭內外的目標。）”可知，該律所致力于實現客戶法庭內外的目

標，由此可知，他們旨在幫助客戶獲得法庭內外的好結果。故選C項。

[11題詳解】

主旨大意題。根據首段中的"BenedictMorelli,oneofNewYork,stop-ratedlawyers,ownsMorelliLawFirm,

whichhasoffices,lawyers,casesandexpertsalloverthecountry.（BenedictMorelli是紐約最受好評的律師之一，

他擁有MorelIiLaWFirm,該事務所在全國各地都有辦事處、律師、案件和專家。）”可知，開篇引出MOrelIi

LawFirm,根據第二段中的"Onecriticalreasonfortheirsuccessisthatunlikemanyfirms,MorelliLawhasthe

experience,patience,andresourcestopursuealldifficultcases.（他們成功的一個關鍵原因是，與許多律所不同，

MOrelliLaW有經驗、耐心和資源來處理所有困難的案件。）”可知，此處介紹了MOreniLaWFirm的成功關

鍵，根據第四段中的“Thefirmisdevotedtorealizingitsclients,goalsbothinsideandoutsideofthecourtroom.

（該公司致力于在法庭內外實現客戶的目標。）”可知，此處介紹了該律所的宗旨，以及最后一段中

uCorporationsarepowerfulactorsinsocietyandMr.Morelliandhisteamfeelfortunatetobeinapositionto

providethehighestlevelofservicetotheirCIientS.（公司是社會中強大的角色，莫雷利先生和他的團隊為能夠

為客戶提供最高水平的服務而感到幸運。）”可知，介紹了企業(yè)在社會中的價值和意義。由此可以判斷，本

文主要介紹的是MoreIliLaWFirm的相關情況，所以本文以“MoreHiLawFirm"為標題符合文章內容，概括

了本文的主題。故選A項。

【答案】12.B13.B14.A15.D

【解析】

【導語】本文一篇議論文。文章提出在美國有三分之一的人沒有享受到臨終關懷這一現象，分析了其原因以

及對病人的顧慮進行了解惑。

【12題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據第二段“OneisthatMedicare（醫(yī)療保險）doesn'tcoverthecostofpatients'life-extending

treatmentiftheyenterhospice.Medicarealsorequiresthatthedoctorreferringsomeoneforhospicecaremust

declarethatthepatientisexpectedtodiewithinsixmonths.（一個原因是，如果病人進入臨終關懷醫(yī)院，醫(yī)療

保險不包括他們延長生命的治療費用.醫(yī)療保險還要求醫(yī)生在轉介病人接受臨終關懷時，必須聲明病人預

計將在六個月內死亡。）”可知，很多病人不早點去臨終關懷醫(yī)院是因為醫(yī)療保險的要求不支持臨終關懷。

故選B。

【13題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據第三段“Thephilosophyofhospiceistoneitheracceleratenorpostponedeath.AsDr.Matt

Kestenbaum,ahospicedirector,putit:"Weletnaturetakeitscourse,andwegivepatientsallthethingstheyneed

tobecomfortable.,'（臨終關懷的理念是既不加速也不推遲死亡。正如臨終關懷主任馬特?凱斯滕鮑姆博士所

說：“我們順其自然，我們給病人提供他們需要的一切讓他們感到舒適的東西?！埃笨芍?，臨終關懷服務

的目的是減輕病人的痛苦。故選B。

【14題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據第四段“Dying"naturally"inhospicedoesnotdenypatientsthetreatmentforcommon

diseasesIikebloodclotsJ在臨終關懷中“自然”死亡并不會剝奪病人對血塊等常見疾病的治療。）”可知，

病人對進入臨終關懷醫(yī)院的顧慮是他們將失去對常見疾病的治療。故選Ao

【15題詳解】

推理判斷題。作者通過提出問題、分析原因、打消病人的顧慮，推廣臨終關懷這項服務。作者只在第二節(jié)

分析了臨終關懷醫(yī)院不受歡迎的原因，所以選項B不是寫作目的。所以作者寫這篇文章的目的是推廣臨終

關懷服務。故選D。

第二節(jié)（共5小題;每小題2.5分,滿分12.5分）

閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選

項。
