B.Shemadethefirstdiscoveryofanewstar.

C.Shewasfacedwithgenderdiscrimination.

D.Shewasafemalepioneerinthefieldofastronomy.

C.PhilipBumell.D.MercedesRichards.

23.Whichcolumnisthepassageprobablyfrom?

A.ScienceNews.B.HerStoryFiles.

C.TourofWorld.D.LiteratureAppreciation.

【答案】21.C22.B23.B

【導語】本文是一篇應用文。文章介紹了三位杰出的女天文學家：中國的王貞儀、北愛爾蘭的Jocelyn

Bumell和牙買加的MercedesRichards,以及這些女天文學家的成長經(jīng)歷、教育背景和杰出的貢獻。

21.推理判斷題。根據(jù)WangZhenzi部分“Bomatatimewhengirlswerepreventedfromgettingaformal

education,WangZhenyigotencouragedfromherfathertoreadbooksincludingworksonastronomy,

mathematics,geography,medicine,aswellasPOetry.（出生在女孩無法接受正規(guī)教育的時代，父親鼓勵

王振儀閱讀天文、數(shù)學、地理、醫(yī)學和詩歌等書籍廣可知，在王貞儀成長的年代，社會普遍認為女

孩不該受教育，王貞儀面臨著性別歧視，其他兩個段落均未提及性別歧視的問題，故選C項。

22.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)JocelynBurnell部分“Later,shefoundsignalsfromspaceandwasthefirstto

confirmtheexistenceofneutronstars.（Jgj?,她發(fā)現(xiàn)了來自太空的信號，并率先證實了中子星的存在）''

可知，是JocelynBurnell第一個發(fā)現(xiàn)了中子星的存在，故選B項。

23.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“Bomatatimewhengirlswerepreventedfromgettingaformal

education,（出生在女孩無法接受正規(guī)教育的時代廣、第二段“In1965,Bumcllbeganhergraduate

studiesinphysicsatCambridgeUniversity（965年，伯內(nèi)爾在劍橋大學開始了她攻讀物理學研究生的生

涯）”以及第三段“Atll,sheknewshewantedtobeanastronomer（ll歲時，她知道自己想成為一名天文

學家）“可知，本文簡要介紹了三位杰出的女天文學家從小接受教育，學習天文知識并最終對天文學

研究做出了突出貢獻的勵志故事，凸顯了女性力量，所以本文應出自女性故事專欄（HerStoryFiles）,

故選B項。

【答案】24.A25.B26.C27.D

【導語】本文是一篇新聞報道。文章介紹了由于綠色的雪碧瓶子無法被循環(huán)利用，因此可口可樂公

司宣布將用透明的瓶子取代原有的綠色瓶子。

24.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第一句話"Coca-ColaannouncedonWednesdaythatitwillbegin

transitioning（轉(zhuǎn)變）fromgreentoclearplasticonAugust1toincreasethemateriaΓslikelihoodofbeing

remadeintonewbeverage（飲料）bottles.”（可口可樂在星期三宣布它將于八月一號把綠色瓶子改成透

明的塑料瓶，來提高材料再被做成新的飲料瓶的可能性）以及整個下文可知，可口可樂公司為使雪碧

瓶子可循環(huán)利用，將其具有標志性的綠色瓶了?改為透明瓶子。故所以第一段的目的是闡述短文主要

觀點。選A項。

25.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段Thesebottlesarecommonlychangedintosingle-useitemslikeclothingand

carpetingthatcan,tberecycledintonewPETbottles.（這些瓶子可以被轉(zhuǎn)換成一次性用品,比如像衣服

和毯子。而這些東西不可能再被轉(zhuǎn)換為PET瓶子）可知，這些綠色瓶子主要被回收做成一次性用

品，而不能再做成飲料瓶子。故選B項。

26.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段BreakFreeFromPlasticfoundthat20,000Coca-Colabrandedproducts

werepickedup,representingmorepollutionthanthenexttwotoppolluterscombined/BreakFreeFrom

Plastic發(fā)現(xiàn)被挑出的兩萬個可口可樂牌子的產(chǎn)品，所造成的污染比位居污染排行榜第三和第四的兩

公司的污染總量還要多）可知，可口可樂公司所造成的污染比位居污染排行榜第三和第四的兩公司的

污染總量還要多。故選C項。

27.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段第一句話“Coca-ColaannouncedonWednesdaythatitwillbegin

transitioning（轉(zhuǎn)變）fromgreentoclearplasticonAugust1toincreasethemateriaΓslikelihoodofbeing

remadeintonewbeverage（飲料）bottles.”（可口可樂在星期三宣布它將于八月一號把綠色瓶子改成透

明的塑料瓶，來提高材料再被做成新的飲料瓶的可能性）及下文信息可知，本篇文章報道了雪碧（將

在60多年后淘汰其標志性的綠色塑料瓶。故選D項。

【答案】28.A29.C30.C31.B

【導語】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了美國學校的校歷安排欠妥，以致學生在校時間短，且與家

長的工作時間相沖突。

28.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中“In19th-centurycities,schoolswereopensevenoreighthoursaday,11

monthsayear.InruralAmerica,theyearwasarrangedaroundthegrowingseason.（?19世紀的城市里，

學校每天開7到8小時，一年開11個月。在美國農(nóng)村，學年是按照生長季節(jié)來安排的）”可知，目前

美國學校的日歷是在19世紀根據(jù)農(nóng)作物的生長季節(jié)來制定的。故選A項。

29.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第六段中“Dr.Boyerisoneofmanywhobelievethataradicalrevisionoftheschool

calendarisinevitable.'School,whetherwelikeitornot,iseducational.ItalwayshasbeenJ（博耶爾博士

和許多人一樣，認為校歷的大幅修訂是不可避免的?！安还芪覀兿膊幌矚g，學校都是有教育意義的。

一宜都是這樣。和第七段中“HisisnotaPOPUlaridea.（他的想法并不受歡迎）”可知，博耶爾堅信學

校具有教育作用，這一想法是他的觀點不受歡迎的原因。故選C項。

30.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)上文“Whileclassroomtimealonedoesn,tproduceawell-educatedchild,learning

takestimeandmorelearningtakesmoreIime.（雖然僅僅是課堂時間并不能培養(yǎng)出一個受過良好教育的

孩子，但學習需要時間，更多的學習需要更多的時間）“可知學習需要時間；句中“takeatoll”意為”產(chǎn)

生負面影響；造成損失“；結(jié)合上文可知，劃線句“Thelongsummersofforgettingtakeatoll.”是指漫長

夏季假期會導致遺忘，產(chǎn)生負面影響“，與力Ongsummersresultinlesslearningtime（長暑假導致學習

時間減少）''意思相近。故選C項。

31.推理判斷題。作者用第三段中“Now,only3percentoffamiliesfollowtheagriculturalmodel,but

nearlyallschoolsarescheduledasifOUrchildrenwenthomeearlytomilkthecowsandtookmonthsoffto

workthecrops.Now,three-quartersofthemothersofschool-agechildrenwork,butthecalendariswritten

asiftheywerehomewaitingfortheschoolbus.（現(xiàn)在，只有3%的家庭采用農(nóng)業(yè)模式，但兒乎所有的學

校都按照我們的孩子提前回家擠牛奶，休息幾個月去收割莊稼的模式來上課。現(xiàn)在，有四分之三學

齡兒童的母親在工作，但日歷上寫得好像她們在家里等校車一樣）”和第四段中“Butwhenparents

workaneight-bourdayanda240-dayyear,itmeanssomethingdifferent.Itmeansthatmanykidsgohome

toemptyhouses.Itmeansthat,inthesummer,theyhangOUt.（但當父母每天工作8小時，一年工作240

天時，就有了不同的含義。這意味著許多孩子回家時家里空無一人。意思是，在夏天，他們只能閑

逛）”說明了學校的校歷時間安排已經(jīng)不合時宜，結(jié)合第六段引用博耶爾博士的觀點“aradicalrevision

oftheschoolcalendarisinevitable.（校歷的大幅度修改是不可避免的）''可推知，作者目前的校歷已經(jīng)過

時，需要修改。故選B項。
