——★參考答案★——第二部分閱讀(共兩節(jié)，滿分50分)第一節(jié)(共15小題;每小題2.5分,滿分37.5分)【答案】21~23DAC24~27ADDB28~31CBDA32~35BABDA【語篇導讀】這是一篇應用文。介紹了SunnyMart提供30天內的退款和換貨服務條款以及退貨運費政策?！敬鸢冈斘觥?1.D細節(jié)理解題。根據第一個小標題的第四、第五條可以得知，只有常規(guī)的正價商品才可以退款，故此選D。22.A推理判斷題。根據信息句“Weonlyreplaceitemsiftheyaredefectiveordamaged”可以得知換貨的標準是商品有瑕疵或者被損壞了。23.C推理判斷題。根據最后一個小標題可知，退換貨的往返運費都是由顧客自行承擔的，所以“Customer-responsible”選項符合題意。B【語篇導讀】這是一篇記述文。AnjaliSud作為Vimeo的首席執(zhí)行官，通過引入創(chuàng)作者訂閱計劃、收購直播公司以及堅持無廣告體驗，將Vimeo公司從內容平臺轉型為技術驅動的創(chuàng)作者賦能平臺?！敬鸢冈斘觥?4.A推理判斷題。根據后文的信息句“Vimeoshiftedfromamediaplatforminvestingincontenttoatechcompanyempoweringcreators”(Vimeo從一家投資內容的媒體平臺轉變?yōu)橐患屹x予創(chuàng)作者權力的科技公司)可知AnjaliSud所說的這句話強調的是要跳出思維定勢，尋找新的解決問題的方法和思路。25.D細節(jié)理解題。根據第三段信息句“Insteadofchargingtheaudience,Vimeoofferedpaidsubscriptionplansforcreatorstoaccessadvancedtoolsontheplatform”(Vimeo沒有向觀眾收費,而是為創(chuàng)作者提供付費訂閱計劃，讓他們可以使用平臺上的高級工具)，故此選D。26.D細節(jié)理解題。根據第四段的信息句“AcceptingthisshortcomingandlookingatanalternativesolutionhelpedVimeopurchaseaLivestreamcompanythatlaunchedthelivevideoproduct”(接受這個缺點并尋找替代解決方案幫助Vimeo收購了一家推出直播視頻產品的Livestream公司)，可知答案為D。27.B細節(jié)理解題。根據第五段信息句“Vimeo’smissionistoempowercreatorstotellexceptionalstories,focusingonindividualsandsmalltomedium-sizedbusinessesforvideocreationanddistribution”(Vimeo的使命是讓創(chuàng)作者能夠講述非凡的故事，專注于個人和中小型企業(yè)的視頻創(chuàng)作和分發(fā))，可知B選項符合。C【語篇導讀】這是一篇說明文。本文討論了大學專業(yè)選擇與收入增長的關系。文章強調，雖然STEM(科學、技術、工程、數(shù)學)專業(yè)起薪較高，但文科專業(yè)通過積累更多基礎性技能，尤其是在管理和商業(yè)領域，能夠在職業(yè)生涯中迎頭趕上。作者主張大學課程應保持平衡，避免過度技術化，目的是為學生未來的長遠職業(yè)生涯做好準備?！敬鸢冈斘觥?8.C推理判斷題。第二段中的數(shù)字顯示，雖然STEM專業(yè)起薪較高，但文科專業(yè)的畢業(yè)生收入在中期(40歲左右)迅速增長，最終縮小了與STEM專業(yè)的收入差距。尤其是進入管理、商業(yè)和法律等領域后，文科專業(yè)的收入趕上甚至超越了STEM專業(yè)的畢業(yè)生。29.B細節(jié)理解題。文章第三、四段分析了文科專業(yè)收入迎頭趕上的原因。第三段的信息句“OnereasonforthenarrowinggapisthatSTEMjobschangerapidly,andworkersmustconstantlylearnnewskillstokeepup”指出STEM行業(yè)的工作變化迅速，需要不斷更新技能，這使得收入增長放緩，進而縮小了與文科專業(yè)畢業(yè)生收入之間的差距。30.D推理判斷題。在文章中，作者雖然并沒有反對STEM專業(yè)，但作者提醒不要讓大學課程過于技術化和職業(yè)化。作者提倡一種平衡的教育方式，認為大學學位應該為學生未來40年的工作生活做好準備，而不是僅僅針對眼前的職業(yè)需求。最后一句話表明，大學教育應為學生準備未來，而未來是無法完全預見的，因此提倡一種更加全面、平衡的課程設置。31.A主旨大意題。本文探討了STEM專業(yè)和文科專業(yè)的收入差距。雖然STEM專業(yè)的起薪較高，但隨著時間的推移，文科專業(yè)畢業(yè)生的收入增長速度更快，尤其是在進入管理、商業(yè)等高薪領域后，最終趕上STEM專業(yè)畢業(yè)生。因此,“EngineersStartFaster,butPoetsCatchup”(理科生起步更快,但文科生會迎頭趕上)最能概括文章的主旨。D【語篇導讀】本文介紹了塔夫茨大學的工程師們開發(fā)的一種新型成像技術，通過結合原子力顯微鏡(AFM)、物理測量和機器學習，能夠提供高分辨率的彩色圖像，幫助更準確地分析材料，尤其在塑料和醫(yī)療健康領域具有廣泛應用?！敬鸢冈斘觥?2.B推理判斷題。根據文章中的描述，Tufts大學的工程師們開發(fā)了一種新型成像方法，這種方法能夠看到1.6納米的細節(jié)，提供高分辨率的材料圖像，并且與傳統(tǒng)顯微鏡和原子力顯微鏡(AFM)相比，提供更多的“顏色”信息，能夠顯示不同原子或材料的類型。因此，選項B是正確的，描述了新方法的主要優(yōu)勢，即提供高分辨率的彩色圖像。33.A主旨大意題。根據第二段的描述，文章主要講解了這項成像技術的工作原理，具體包括AFM掃描樣品表面，識別分子類型，并通過物理測量和機器學習生成詳細的彩色圖像。選項A概括了段落內容，即技術的工作原理。34.B猜測詞義題。根據第三段信息句“itcouldspeedupthedevelopmentofplasticmaterialsthatdegradesmoothly,layerbylayer,helpingtopreventmicroplasticpollution,whichharmstheenvironmentandentersthefoodchain”(它可以加速對能夠逐層平滑降解的塑料材料的開發(fā)，有助于防止危害環(huán)境并進入食物鏈的微塑料污染)，選項“Breakdown”指的是某物逐漸崩解或分解，符合題意。35.D細節(jié)推理題。根據第四段信息句“Bylookingatthesetinychanges,wecanmorequicklypredictwhatmighthappentothesenewmaterialsovertime”,納米尺度成像技術通過觀察材料的微小變化,幫助更快速地預測新材料隨時間的表現(xiàn)，強調了這種技術可以更快速、更精確地預測材料的變化，因此選項D是正確的。第二節(jié)(共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分)【答案】36~40GEDFA【語篇導讀】本文強調了提前購票的策略如何有效提升活動參與度。通過提供早鳥票，活動組織者不僅可以提前獲得收入，還能增強參與者的參與感和期待，最終推動更多人購票。【答案詳析】36.G前文引入早鳥票的話題，后文的“They”指的是組織者，因此G選項“早鳥票是組織者用來鼓勵提前購買的折扣票”符合題意。37.E根據后文的“Forticketholders”以及“Foreventplanners”可知,此空應該是該段的主題句,E選項符合題意。38.D該段講述的是如何利用倒計時來激勵人們購買早鳥票，D選項“使用我們的倒計時鐘為你的活動創(chuàng)造一種緊迫感”符合題意。39.F根據后文的“不管獎勵是什么，一定要像對待皇室一樣對待這些早起的買家”可知，該空應該是說獎勵的具體內容是什么，因此選F。40.A后文說“最成功的促銷者會在活動前的幾個月里多次提供限時銷售窗口”，可以得知第三條建議應該是要多次提供購買早鳥票的機會，因此A選項“只有一次機會的早鳥票體驗是一個神話”符合題意。第三部分語言運用(共兩節(jié)，滿分30分)【答案】41~45CABDC46~50ABDCA51~55DBACD【答案詳析】41.C根據上下文，作者哪怕是看到蛇的圖像或玩具模型都會感到恐懼，因此這里的“sight”(看到、目睹)符合題意。42.A作者提到這種恐懼會讓她陷入極度害怕的狀態(tài)，故“freeze”(僵住)最符合句意。其他選項如“catch”(抓住)“engage”(吸引)和“excite”(激發(fā))與表達恐懼的情緒不符。43.B“takeontherole”是一個固定短語，意為“承擔”或“接受”某個角色。在這里，作者描述她成為輔導員，這是一種責任的承擔。其他選項“reflecton”(反思)“focuson”(專注于)和“insiston”(堅持)不符合句意。44.D后文中提到在動物站“面對一條活蛇”，因此“l(fā)ive”(活的)是正確答案，是原詞復現(xiàn)。其他選項如“dangerous”(危險的)“harmless”(無害的)和“wild”(野生的)都不如“l(fā)ive”貼切,因為未強調蛇的危險性或野生屬性。45.C句意顯示工作人員熱情地向作者宣告可以接觸活蛇，最合適的動詞是“declared”(宣稱、宣布)。相比之下,“continued”(繼續(xù))“mentioned”(提到)和“screamed”(尖叫)均不夠準確或不符合語境。46.A作者雖然害怕蛇，但不想放棄或拋下孩子們，因此“abandon”(放棄、拋下)最為適合。47.B根據后文，工作人員解釋這條蛇的特性是遇到威脅時會裝死，暗示它其實“無害”。因此，“harmless”(無害的)符合語境。其他選項如“risky”(有風險的)“aggressive”(攻擊性的)和“curious”(好奇的)不符合蛇的性格描述。48.D蛇遇到威脅時會裝死,這是一種“playdead”(裝死)的行為。因此“play”最為準確。49.C根據上下文，作者即使在害怕的情況下，也在孩子們的鼓勵下決定觸摸蛇。雖然她鼓起了勇氣，但仍然帶著勉強的心情。因此，“unwillingly”(不情愿地)更符合作者當時的心理。50.A此句描述蛇在作者手臂上的狀態(tài)，表達的是一種“擺放”或“放置”的感覺。因此，“positioned”(擺放，安放)最符合蛇在她手臂上的姿態(tài)。51.D作者逐漸意識到她的“恐懼”源于誤解，因此“fear”是最符合的選項。52.B這句話的意思是勇敢并非指“沒有恐懼”，所以“absence”(缺失、沒有)最貼切。53.A雖然克服了對蛇的恐懼，但作者仍然對蛇保持“謹慎”態(tài)度，因此“cautious”(謹慎的)最合適。54.C勇氣在于克服恐懼而非“回避”恐懼,因此“avoiding”(回避)最符合文意。其
