【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇書評(píng)。文章中，作者主要介紹了安東尼?多爾的最新暢銷書《我們看不見的光》，作者

主要介紹了這本書的主要內(nèi)容，以及作者對(duì)于這本書的感想。

【24題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第——段uAnthonyDoerr,snewbestseller,AlltheLightWeCannotSee,holdsspecialappeal

邊，去找一些更簡(jiǎn)單、更輕松、描述性更少的書來讀。但這本書是建立在美麗的意象之上的。無論是在字面

意義上——20世紀(jì)40年代的巴黎和德國(guó)的物理世界，還是在隱喻意義上——對(duì)光的科學(xué)和哲學(xué)參考，看到

和看不到，以及兩者之間的差異。）”可知，在作者看來，這部書很吸引人，同時(shí)又極具描述性。故選C。

【25題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“However,whenwegetintothemeatofthisWorldWarIInovel,it,salsoanupsetting

storyofachildhoodtomapartbywar."（然而，當(dāng)我們進(jìn)入這本二戰(zhàn)小說的核心部分時(shí)，它也是一個(gè)關(guān)于被

戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)撕裂的童年的令人沮喪的故事。）根據(jù)第三段“Bothoftheirstoriesaretoldwithsensitivityandsympathy,

eachoneforceddownapathbytheirpersonalcircumstancesandbythatdestructivemonster-war.（他們倆的故事都

充滿了敏感和同情，每個(gè)人都被他們的個(gè)人環(huán)境和毀滅性的怪物戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)逼上了一條路。）”可知，這兩個(gè)人的

童年都很悲慘。故選D。

【26題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段"Bothoftheirstoriesaretoldwithsensitivityandsympathy,eachoneforced

downapathbytheirpersonalcircumstancesandbythatdestructivemonster-war.（他們倆的故事者∣6充滿了敏感和

同情，每個(gè)人都被他們的個(gè)人環(huán)境和毀滅性的怪物戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)逼上了一條路。）”以及最后一段"Thesetwoliveswe

同的世界，但他們走到一起，互相影響。正是這一點(diǎn)，而不是那些可以預(yù)見的可怕的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)故事，讓我感到非

常激動(dòng)。）”可知，打動(dòng)作者的正是這種人物相互關(guān)聯(lián)的命運(yùn)。故選C。

抹香鯨比人類所以為的要聰明得多。

【28題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段"There'salotWedon'tknowaboutthespermwhale'sintelligencebecauseit's

difficulttocarryoutneurological（神經(jīng)的）testingonsuchahugemarinemammal.（我們對(duì)抹香鯨的智力知之甚

少，因?yàn)楹茈y對(duì)這樣一種巨大的海洋哺乳動(dòng)物進(jìn)行神經(jīng)學(xué)測(cè)試。）”可知，抹香鯨的巨大體型使得我們很難

對(duì)它進(jìn)行神經(jīng)測(cè)試。故選A。

【29題詳解】

詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)劃線單詞下一句"whalingsuccessdroppedby60percent（捕鯨的成功率下降了60%）”可知，

抹香鯨是學(xué)會(huì)了如何躲避捕魚人。選項(xiàng)A"Track（跟蹤）”；選項(xiàng)B"Avoid（避免）"；選項(xiàng)C"Locate（定
