【答案解析】

l.C2.C3.D

這是一篇應(yīng)用文。文章主要介紹了上海海洋水族館的一些情況，如開放時間、入場費等

信息。

【1題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Whatwillyoudiscoverattheoceanaquarium?部分中Takeanunderwater

journeythatstartsfromChinaandcontinuesthroughoutthemajorcontinentsandregionsofthe

world.Walkthrougha200-meter-longunderseatunnel,oneofthelongestofitskindintheworld,

tohaveaclosecontactwiththecolor1fuloceanworld.Admiretheuniquenessofoceanlifefrom

thePolarRegionstothetropics,particularlyrareandpreciousspeciesfromthefamous

ChangjiangRiver.可知以中國為起點，貫穿世界各大洲和地區(qū)的海底之旅。穿過世界上最長

的海底隧道一200米長的海底隧道，與五彩繽紛的海洋世界來一次親密接觸。欣賞從極地

到熱帶地區(qū)的獨特海洋生物，特別是來自著名的長江中的珍稀物種。由此可知，在上海海洋

水族館，游客可以欣賞珍貴的魚、走海底隧道以及增加關(guān)于海洋生物的知識，只有C選項“在

海里游泳''文章沒有提到。故選C。

【2題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Admission部分中Adult￡10/Child￡6（成人10英鎊/兒童6英鎊）；On

Sundays,serviceofaVRtourisoffered,￡5foreachperson.（周日提供VR游服務(wù)，每人5英鎊）

以及Forgroupswithmorethantenmembers,weofferfreeentryto2children（under10）at

mosl.（10人以上的團體，我們最多只提供2名兒童（10歲以下）免費入場）由此可知，兩個大

人帶著10個8歲的孩子，如果他們都在本周日使用VR旅游服務(wù)，他們將支付入場費

10+10+8*6=68美元，VR旅游服務(wù)需要花費12*5=60美元，故至少需要支付68+60=128美

元。故選C。

【3題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章標題WelcometoShanghaiOceanAquarium（水族館）（歡迎來到上

海海洋水族館）以及文章主要介紹了上海海洋水族館的一些情況，如開放時間、入場費等信

息。由此可推知，這篇文章最有可能來自一本旅游指南。故選D。

【答案解析】

8.A9.C10.B11.A

【分析】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一種可能的瘧疾解決方案。

【8題詳解】

細U埋解題o根據(jù)第一段第一句叩aneseresearchersaregeneticallychangingmosquitoes

sothattheybecomecarriersofavaccine（疫苗）thatcouldvaccinatemillionsforfree/,（日本研究

人員正在改變蚊子的基因，使它們成為一種疫苗的攜帶者，這種疫苗可以為數(shù)百萬人免費接

種）可知，科學家通過轉(zhuǎn)變它們的基因?qū)⑽米愚D(zhuǎn)化為疫苗的載體。故選A。

【9題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中“Nowaproblemisthatnoeffectivevaccineexists.“（現(xiàn)在

的問題是沒有有效的疫苗存在）可知，C項Ifsmoreeffective.（這是更有效的）不是利用

蚊子作為疫苗載體的優(yōu)勢。故選C。

【10題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段第一句"Anotherproblemisthatthegenetically-engineered

mosquitomaystillpickupandspreadtheinfectedbloodofapersonwhohasalreadycaught

malaria."（另一個問題是，這種基因改造的蚊子仍然可能感染并傳播己經(jīng)感染瘧疾的人的血

液）可知，攜帶疫苗的蚊子可能仍然傳播瘧疾。故選B。

【11題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句"Yoshida'steamishopingitcansolvethisproblemby

developingamosquitospeciesthatkillsthemalariavirusinsideitsownbody.”（吉田的團隊希望

通過培育一種能殺死自身體內(nèi)瘧疾病毒的蚊子來解決這個問題）可知，這篇文章的主要目的

是介紹一種可能的瘧疾解決方案。故選A。

【點睛】概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段開頭再看全文找主題句，若無明顯主題句，

就通過關(guān)鍵詞句來概括（如議論文中尋找表達作者觀點態(tài)度的詞句，記敘文尋找概括情節(jié)和

中心的動詞或反映人物特點的形容詞）。文中出現(xiàn)兩種或兩種以上的不同觀點時，務(wù)必牢記

作者的觀點才是體現(xiàn)全文中心的。本題第4小題，根據(jù)最后一段最后一句Yoshida'steamis

hopingitcansolvethisproblembydevelopingamosquitospeciesthatkillsthemalariavirus

insideitsownbody.可知，這篇文章的主要FI的是介紹一種可能的瘧疾解決方案。

生能源。再生能源對環(huán)保和經(jīng)濟產(chǎn)生了諸多的影響

【12題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“Amuch-quotedclaimthatAmericacouldrelyonwind,solarand

hydroaloneforitselectricityhasrecentlybeenbitterlycriticizedbyagroupofrespected

academics."一種經(jīng)常被引用的說法，即美國可以只依靠風能、太陽能和水力發(fā)電，最近遭

到了一群受人尊敬的學者的嚴厲批評。可知美國不可能完全依靠風能、太陽能和水力發(fā)電，

故選D。

【13題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后?段“Likewise,greaterenergyefficiencycouldreduceemissionsby

evenmorethanusingrenewableswould”同樣，更高的能源效率可以比使用可再生能源減少更

多的排放?？芍岣吣茉葱士梢詼p少碳排放。故選A。

【14題詳解】

詞義猜測題。根據(jù)最后一段“CarbonemissionsinGennanyactuallyrose以及后文so

burnedmorecoal.”德國的碳排放量實際上上升了，因為它選擇逐步淘汰核能，因此燃燒了

更多的煤炭。此處phaseout和后面的more對立，所以這里是減少。故選B。

【15題詳解】

推理判斷題。短文主要介紹了人類的主要目標是遏制全球變暖，而不是實現(xiàn)百分百再生

能源。再生能源對環(huán)保和經(jīng)濟產(chǎn)生了諸多的影響。由此判斷出短文來源于經(jīng)濟模塊，故選C。

【答案解析】

4.A5.D6.C7.B

本文是一篇記敘文。主要講述的是作者和同伴們幫助貧窮的吉普賽人學英語，希望以此

改變他們的生活，卻被吉普賽人的熱情款待而感動的故事。

【4題詳解】

主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第二段“TheRomalivemostlyincentralandeasternEuropeandto

someextentintheAmericas.Duetosomereasons,throughouttheirhistorytheyareusuallythe

lasttobehiredandthefirsttobefired,generallyspeaking.Theylivefarawayfromtown

normallyandinpoverty.”羅姆人（吉普賽人）主要生活在中歐和東歐，在一定程度上也生活

在美洲。一般來說，由于某些原因，縱觀他們的歷史，他們通常是最后一個被雇傭，第一個

被解雇的。他們通常住在遠離城鎮(zhèn)的地方，生活相對貧困，可見本段講的是吉普賽人弱勢的

背景，A項（吉普賽人的弱勢背景）符合題意。答案為A.

【5題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Gettingeducationisacommonsubject.Thatiswherewecomein.

Thistime,I,alongwiththreeothermen,wasworkinginavillageinSlovakia.MostRomapeople

therecan,tspeakEnglishwell,andwewenttohelpoutwiththat,hopingtomakeadifferenceto

theirlife,”受教育是一個普遍的話題。這就是我們的切入點。這一次，我和另外三個人在

斯洛伐克的一個村莊工作。那里的大多數(shù)吉普賽人英語都說得不好，我們?nèi)椭麄儯Ｍ?/p>

能改變他們的生活。所以D項（提高他們的英語技能）符合題意，故答案為D。

【6題詳解】

推理判斷題。結(jié)合第四段“WhenwearrivedinasmallvillageinHungary,wefoundthat

severaloftheRomaweremissing.Theywouldreturnthenextday,becausetheyhadtraveleda

fewhoursawaytoserveinaprison.,,當我們到達匈牙利的一個小村莊時，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)有幾個吉

普賽人失蹤了。他們第二天就會回來，因為他們?nèi)チ藥讉€小時路程以外的監(jiān)獄提供服務(wù)。第

五段“Somesmallgiftswouldsometimescomeourway,astheyexpressedtheirthanks.Onthe

lastdayotthistrip,thelocalRomawarmlyinvitedustostaytoracoffeewithhome-baked

sweets.”有時他們會送我們小禮物來表示感謝。在這次旅行的最后一天，當?shù)氐膿?jù)普賽人熱

情地邀請我們留下來喝咖啡和自制的糖果，可見吉普賽人熱心而又友善，故C項（他們友善

而又熱心）符合題意。故答案為C。

【7題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段“HerewhatIwanttosayisthattheRomapeoplethatI

haveworkedortalkedwitharejustassmartandableasweare.TheyarewiseRomapeoplein

manyways,thoughhavinglivedquitedifferentlyfrommostofus.Thereisnothingfaultborn

withthem.Theyareineverywaythatmatters.Weareallthesamehumanbeings.”（在這里我想說

的是，我曾經(jīng)工作或交談過的吉普賽人和我們一樣聰明和能干。他們在許多方面都很睿智，

盡管他們的生活方式與我們大多數(shù)人截然不同。他們生來沒有錯。他們在各個方面都很重要。

我們都是一樣的），可見作者會同意“吉普賽人應(yīng)該被公平對待”這一觀點。故答案為B。

C
