【答案】4.A5.B6.A7.C

這是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章講述了新型冠狀病毒肺炎傳播期間社交媒體上謠言的傳播，而很多人

【4題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段的"Formostpeople,fact-checkingisanafterthought-ifitisa

thoughtatall.Therefore,misinformationspreads,"（對(duì)于大多數(shù)人來(lái)說(shuō)，事實(shí)檢查是個(gè)時(shí)候的

想法如果它是一個(gè)想法的話。因此，錯(cuò)誤信息就傳播開(kāi)了）和Peoplesimplyprefer

他說(shuō)，錯(cuò)誤信息“造成混亂，傳播恐懼”可推知，人們會(huì)因?yàn)殄e(cuò)誤的信息而產(chǎn)生恐懼。

故選Ao

【7題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段“DuringtheongoingbattleagainsttheNovelCoronavirus

冠肺炎的同時(shí)，也加大了打擊虛假信息傳播的力度。）可推知，本文旨在呼吁人們提高警惕，

當(dāng)心謠言，不要輕信謠言。故選C。

【答案】8.B9.D10.C11.D

【分析】這是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要講了穿工作場(chǎng)所的服裝非常不便于步行和騎車(chē)，人們只

能選擇汽車(chē)作為交通工具，對(duì)綠色交通是一種負(fù)擔(dān)，這會(huì)不利于應(yīng)對(duì)氣候變化，保護(hù)環(huán)境。

【詳解】1.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第一句"Whatpeopleweartoworkaffectsthetransportation

theyusetogettowork."（人們上班穿什么會(huì)影響他們上班的交通方式。）和第二句中的“it

makesthemunwillingtojumponabikeorwalkanyrealdistance^^（這讓他們不愿意跳上自行車(chē)

或步行任何距離）可知，EbenWeiss認(rèn)為穿工作場(chǎng)所的服裝很不方便。故選B。

2.詞句猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)hastochange可知，this是指前文中提到的Whensomeoneinsistson

wearing“workplaceattire"...itmakesthemunwillingtojumponabikeorwalkanyrealdistance

（當(dāng)某人堅(jiān)持穿工作場(chǎng)所的服裝的時(shí)候……這讓他們不愿意跳上自行車(chē)或步行任何距離），

所以this是指穿工作場(chǎng)所的服裝。故選D。

3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段第一句"Inorderforthistochange,however,workplacestandards

havetoevolveandbecomemoreflexible.v（然而，為了改變這一點(diǎn)，工作場(chǎng)所的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)必須演

變并變得更加靈活。）可知，第四段中提到牛仔褲和T恤是為了表明工作場(chǎng)所的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)可以改

變。故選C。

4.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段首句中的“YourBusinessCasualAttire（服裝）IsDestroyingthe

Planet”（你的商務(wù)休閑裝正在毀滅這個(gè)星球）和最后一-段首句"Itmakesmethinkofmy

colleague'sarticleonwalking,andhowitisaformofclimateaction.（這讓我想起了我同事的

一篇關(guān)于步行的文章，以及步行是如何成為應(yīng)對(duì)氣候變化的一種方式。）可知，文章主要是

講穿工作場(chǎng)所的服裝非常不便于步行和騎車(chē)，人們只能選擇汽車(chē)作為交通工具，對(duì)綠色交通

是一種負(fù)擔(dān)，這會(huì)不利于應(yīng)對(duì)氣候變化，保護(hù)環(huán)境。這篇文章最好的題目是“辦公室著裝

是綠色交通的一大障礙”。故選D。

【答案】12.B13.C14.D15.C

這是一篇議論文。文章主要介紹了美國(guó)東北大學(xué)的心理學(xué)教授LisaFeldmanBarrett給老年

人的關(guān)于保持活躍認(rèn)知能力的建議以及作者對(duì)此的不同看法。

【12題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中uStudyanynewtopichard,untilyoufeeltiredandfrustrated.This

levelofeffort,sheadded,isassociatedwithincreasesintheeaseofcommunicationwithinthebrain

and,asaresult,cognitiveskillswillbeimproved.（努力學(xué)習(xí)任何新的話題，直到你感到疲倦和

沮喪。她補(bǔ)充說(shuō)，這種努力程度與大腦內(nèi)部交流的便利程度增加有關(guān)，從而提高認(rèn)知技能）”

可知，Lisa建議老年人在新的領(lǐng)域努力。故選B。

【13題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中“Lisabelievesthatwhatsetssuperagersapartistheirabilitytousethe

會(huì)把不愉快的感覺(jué)作為繼續(xù)前進(jìn)的信號(hào)，而不是停下來(lái)休息的警告）”可知，Lisa在第三段

所說(shuō)的“超級(jí)老人”的特別之處是他們用不愉快的感覺(jué)作為驅(qū)動(dòng)力。故選C。

【14題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段Whilesheprovidesconvincingdatatoprovehowcognitivelyyoung

thesesuperagersare,Tmnotsureherconclusionaboutwhythisissogivesthewholepicture.（雖然

她提供了令人信服的數(shù)據(jù)來(lái)證明這些超級(jí)老人的認(rèn)知能力有多年輕，但我不確定她關(guān)于為什

么會(huì)這樣的結(jié)論能說(shuō)明全部情況）”可知，作者懷疑Lisa所解釋的“超級(jí)老人”能夠保持敏

銳認(rèn)知能力的原因。故選D。

【15題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中“Ifwhatyou'redoingisenjoyable,you'remoreHkelytokeep

workinghardatit—probablywithoutevennoticinganydiscomfort.（如果你所做的事情是令人愉

快的，你就更有可能繼續(xù)努力地做下去一一甚至不會(huì)注意到任何不適）”可推知，C選項(xiàng)“愉

快的工作使人忽視不適”的觀點(diǎn)作者可能會(huì)認(rèn)同。故選C。

【答案】16.E17.D18.F19.G20.C

這是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要介紹了一些處理不同類(lèi)型憂慮的方法。

【16題詳解】

根據(jù)上文“TheGreatNobelPrizewinnerinmedicine,Dr.AlexisCarreloncesaid,"Businessmen

whodonotknowhowtofightworrydieyoung：（偉大的諾貝爾醫(yī)學(xué)獎(jiǎng)得主，亞歷克西斯?卡雷

爾博士曾經(jīng)說(shuō)過(guò)：'不知道如何戰(zhàn)勝憂慮的商人英年早逝。'）”以及后文“Thenhowcanwe

findaquick,surefirerecipeforhandlingworrysituations?Hereareafewbasicstepstodealwith

differentkindsofworries4那么，我們?cè)鯓硬拍苷业揭粋€(gè)快速、萬(wàn)無(wú)一失的方法來(lái)處理焦慮的

情況呢？這里有一些基本的步驟來(lái)處理不同類(lèi)型的憂慮）”可知，上文提到諾貝爾醫(yī)學(xué)獎(jiǎng)得

主說(shuō)，不知道戰(zhàn)勝憂慮的商人會(huì)英年早逝，后文則提到了處理憂慮的方法，可推知本句應(yīng)當(dāng)

是承接上文，進(jìn)一步列舉不僅是商人,其他職業(yè)的人也會(huì)因?yàn)椴恢缿?zhàn)勝憂慮的方法而早逝。

故E選項(xiàng)“家庭主婦、馬醫(yī)和泥瓦匠也是如此”符合語(yǔ)境，故選E。

【17題詳解】

根據(jù)上文"Whyisitsoimportanttogetthefacts?Becauseunlesswehavethefacts,wecan't

possiblyevenattempttosolveourproblemsintelligently.（為什么了解事實(shí)如此重要？因?yàn)槌?/p>

我們掌握了事實(shí)，否則我們甚至不可能?chē)L試明智地解決我們的問(wèn)題）”可知，上文提到了了

解事實(shí)的重要性，故本句承接上文進(jìn)一步說(shuō)明，且D選項(xiàng)中thefacts與上文中thefacts相對(duì)

應(yīng)。故D選項(xiàng)“沒(méi)有這些事實(shí)，我們就會(huì)陷入混亂”符合語(yǔ)境，故選D。

【18題詳解】

根據(jù)后文“Infact,merelywritingthefactsonapieceofpaperandstatingourproblemclearlygoes

alongwaytowardhelpingustoreachasensibledecision.（事實(shí)上，僅僅是把事實(shí)寫(xiě)在一張紙上，

清楚地陳述我們的問(wèn)題，對(duì)幫助我們做出明智的決定大有幫助）”可知，后文提到了寫(xiě)下事

實(shí)會(huì)對(duì)做決定有很大幫助，可推知本句是在建議把了解到的事實(shí)寫(xiě)下來(lái)，F(xiàn)選項(xiàng)中writing

themdown與后文中writingthefactsonapieceofpaper相對(duì)應(yīng)。故F選項(xiàng)“把它們寫(xiě)下來(lái)就

容易多了"符合語(yǔ)境，故選F。

【19題詳解】

根據(jù)上文“Sowewillprobablysaveourlifebysittingdownandwritingoutallthevarioussteps,

wecouldtakeandthenwritingdowntheprobableresultsofeachstepandcalmlycomingtoa

decision4所以我們可能會(huì)通過(guò)坐下來(lái)寫(xiě)下所有我們可以采取的步驟來(lái)挽救我們的生命，然后

寫(xiě)下每一步可能的結(jié)果，平靜地做出決定）”以及后文"Ilisthefailureloreachadefinite

decisionthatdrivesmenmad.（不能作出明確的決定使人煩惱）“可知，上文提到做出決定，后

文則提到不明確的決定讓人煩惱，可推知本句是在說(shuō)明達(dá)成明確決定的重要性。故G選項(xiàng)

“經(jīng)驗(yàn)表明，達(dá)成一個(gè)明確的決定具有巨大的價(jià)值”符合語(yǔ)境，故選G。

【20題詳解】

根據(jù)本段小標(biāo)題"Actonthatdecision（按照這個(gè)決定行事）”以及后文“Don'tstopto

reconsider.Don'tbegintohesitateandretraceoursteps.Don'tloseourselvesinself-doubtingwhich

causesotherdoubts.Don'tlookbackourshoulders.（不要停下來(lái)重新考慮。不要猶豫，不妨原路

折回。不要在自我懷疑中迷失自我，否則會(huì)引起其他的懷疑。不要向后看）”可知，本段主

要說(shuō)明的是要開(kāi)始采取行動(dòng)來(lái)執(zhí)行我們的決定。故C選項(xiàng)“一旦我們做出決定，就開(kāi)始行

動(dòng)”符合語(yǔ)境，故選C。

第一節(jié)（共15小題；每小題1分，滿分15分）
