【答案】4.D5.B6.C7.A

【解析】

【分析】這是一篇記敘文。作者由于疫情的原因，不得不經常待在家里面。周末的時候，一家人到戶外一

個森林里散步游玩，在那里體驗到了寂靜的生活，感受到家人在一起的美好。

【4題詳解】

細節理解題o根據第一段中“Wesqueezedourwaythroughmassivecrowdsthathadtraveledacrossthecountryto

praytotheVirginofGuadalupe,Mexico'spatronsaint.（我們擠過全國各地向墨西哥守護神瓜達盧佩圣母祈禱的

人群）”可知，人們從全國各地來到墨西哥城，目的是來向墨西哥守護神瓜達盧佩的圣母祈禱。故選D。

【5題詳解】

細節理解題。根據第二段“Theideaofbeingalonewaslaughable:Irememberoncelookingoutofmyoffice

window,pre-pandemic,andnotseeingasinglepersonontheblock.Irecallitvividlybecauseitseemedutterly

apocalyptic一anditneverhappenedagain.（獨自一人的想法是可笑的：我記得有一次我從辦公室的窗戶往外

看，在流行病爆發前，我沒有看到街區里有一個人。我記得很清楚，因為這似乎是完全的世界末日，而且

它再也沒有發生過）”可知，作者再也沒有看到過空蕩蕩、沒有一個人的街區。故選B。

【6題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據第四段中“AndthenIrealizedwithashock:weYealone.Inacityofmillionswhereaquietnight

isofteninterruptedwithsoundsoftamaleorsweet-potatovendorswalkingthestreetswiththeirhigh-pitched

whistlesorrecordedsalespitches,wehadtransportedourselvesintoanotherkingdom.（然后我震驚地意識到:只

有我們倆。在這個擁有數百萬人口的城市里，寧靜的夜晚經常被玉米粉蒸肉或紅薯小販的尖叫聲打斷，他

們要么吹著尖銳的口哨，要么錄下了推銷的錄音。我們仿佛置身于另一個王國）”可知，作者在LosDinamos

突然意識到他們享受寶貴的安靜時刻。故選C。

7題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據最后一段"It'sareminderthatthereislifeallaroundme,evenifIcan'tspendtimemixingwith

others”它提醒著我，即使我不能花時間與他人相處，我周圍也有生命存在）”可知，在森林中徒步旅行提醒

了作者，在疫情中我們不能花時間和別人相處，但我們有家人在一起。故選A。

C

【答案】8.C9.C10.B11.A

【解析】

【分析】這是一篇說明文。文章主要講述了關于新冠病毒的Delta變種的研究。Delta變種是冠狀病毒變種

中能力最強、（傳播）速度最快和適應性最強的。今年春天在印度首次發現了Delta變種。與原始病毒相比，

Delta病毒有大約15種不同的變異，其中兩種突變可以幫助病毒逃脫我們制造的對抗它的抗體：另一種被稱

為P681R的突變似乎有助于病毒進入我們的細胞。科學家說，對Delta變種的了解使得疫苗接種比以往任何

時候都重要。

【8題詳解】

細節理解題。根據第二段的內容"It'sabout60%moreeasilypassedfrompersontopersonthantheAlphaversion,

whichwasfirstidenlifiedintheUK.Whileasingleinfectedpersonmighthavespreadolderversionsofthevirusto

twoorthreeothers,number-calledthebasicreproductionnumber-mightbearoundsixforDelta,meaningthat,on

average,eachinfectedpersonspreadsthevirustosixothers.（與最初在英國發現的Alpha版本相比，它在人與人

之間的傳播要容易60%?雖然一個感染者可能會把I日版本的病毒傳播給兩三個人，但Delta病毒的基本復制

數可能是6左右，這意味著，平均每個感染者會把病毒傳播給另外6個人）”可知，Delta變種比Alpha變種

更容易在人與人之間傳播，且感染Delta變種的個人能傳染更多的人，由此可知，與Alpha變種相比，Delta

變種傳播更容易、更快。故選C項。

【9題詳解】

詞義猜測題。分析可知，劃線單詞之后的同位語從句起到進一步解釋說明該詞的作用，"thataninfected

personwouldneedtobehospitalizedorcoulddiefromtheirinfection（被感染的人需要住院治療或可能死于感

染）”，同時結合劃線單詞之前的動詞"increasing"意為"增加/提高”可知，“theodds”應是指“被感染

者需要住院治療或可能死于感染”這種情況發生的機率或可能性，與選項C“probability（可能性）”表達含

義一致。故選C項。

【10題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據文章第五段內容對于P681R突變的解釋"Thismutationappearstohelpthevirusgetintoour

cells.Soit'smorelikelytobeintherightpositiontoinfectourcellsifwecomeintocontactwithit.（這種突變彳以乎

有助于病毒進入我們的細胞。所以如果我們接觸到它，它更有可能在正確的位置感染我們的細胞。）”可知，

對于這種突變的解釋，使用了不確定的詞匯“appears（似乎）"，“likely（有可能）”，以及文章第六段內容

uScientistsaren'tsurewhatthesesupersizedsyncytiameanexactly,buttheyhavesometheories.（科學家們不確定

這些超大的合胞體到底是什么意思，但他們有一些理論）”可知，科學家目前對這種突變形成的超大合胞體

無法解釋，由此可推知，對于這種突變還需要進一步的研究。故選B項。

【11題詳解】

推理判斷題。通過閱讀文章內容可知，文章第一段首句^TheDeltavariantisthemostable,fastestandfittestof

thecoronavirusvariants（Delta變種是冠狀病毒變種中能力最強、（傳播）速度最快和適應性最強的）”提出了文

章的核心話題“冠狀病毒Delta變種”，且在該段末尾用設問句的方式該段末尾句uSowhatmakesthevariant

sohorrible?（那么是什么讓變種如此恐怖呢？）”引出后文內容，從而對這個問題展開解釋，介紹了Della變

種的可怕之處。由此可推知，文章的目的應是對Delta變種進行解釋。故選A項。

【答案】12.D13.D14.B15.C

【解析】

【分析】本文為一篇議論文。作者就關于機器人能否替代人類勞動力闡述了自己的觀點，并持有樂觀的態

度。

【12題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據文章第一段關鍵句"Walmarthasgivenupafive-yearefforttointroducestock-checkingrobots

toitsstores.Staff,whoevidentlydothejobbetter,canbreatheasighofrelief.（沃爾瑪放棄了在其門店引入庫存盤

點機器人的五年努力。顯然工作做得更好的員工可以松一口氣了）”及該段最后一句"Distantcontrolof

machineryisincreasinglycommoninthecollectionofnaturalresources,reducinglaborcostsandimprovingsafetyin

extremeenvironments.（在收集自然資源、降低勞動力成本和提高極端環境下的安全性方面，機械的遠程控制

越來越普遍）”可知，作者通過沃爾瑪放棄使用清點庫存的機器人的例子，繼而引出雖然沃爾瑪停止使用機

器人，但總體上看使用機器人是大勢所趨的觀點，即，作者運用它作為反面例子引出這個話題。故選D項。

【13題詳解】

細節理解題。根據文章倒數第二段關鍵句"Thesafetyadvantageofhavingfewerpeopleonrigsisobvious,

especiallyduringapandemic.（鉆井平臺上人員較少的安全優勢顯而易見，尤其是在大流行期間）”及"Equinor,

theStatoilofNorway,saysthemoveaddedmorethan$212mtoearningswithinayearofitsriggoingdigital.The

biggestsavingscomefromshrunkenpayrolls.（挪威國家石油公司Equinor表示，在鉆機數字化的一年內，此舉

為公司帶來了超過2.12億美元的收益。最大的儲蓄來自縮減的工資）”可知，石油行業自動化的優勢包括

降低疾病傳播風險和通過降低工資成本提高收入。故選D項。

【14題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據文章倒數第二段關鍵句uRobotsaresettoreplacehumansinarangeofphysicallytough,

repetitivejobs,fromorderpickinginwarehousestoliftingtheoldandweak.（機器人將取代人類從事一系列體力

繁重、重復性的工作，從倉庫的訂單采摘到扶老人和弱者）”及最后一段關鍵句"Businessesthatautomateare

stillsaferinvestmentsthanonesthatdonot.（自動化業務仍然比不自動化的業務更安全）”并結合上文內容可

知，作者認為自動化在商業領域前景廣闊。故選B項。

【15題詳解】

主旨大意題。根據文章倒數第二段關鍵句"Oilrigshavebeenontheautomationmarchformostofthepast

decade.Remotecontrolroomscanmanageeverythingfromdrillingtomining.（在過去十年的大部分時間里，石油

鉆井平臺一直處于自動化進程中。遠程控制室可以管理從鉆井到采礦的一切）”；"Thesafetyadvantageof

havingfewerpeopleonrigsisobvious,especiallyduringapandemic.（鉆井平臺上人員較少的安全優勢顯而易

見，尤其是在大流行期間）”及"Thebiggestsavingscomefromshrunkenpayrolls.（最大的儲蓄來自縮減的工

資）”并結合全文內容可知，作者認為工業自動化成為了一種趨勢，會帶來各種好處。故選C項。

G.IleftmycomfortableandfamiliarhometohaveanunusualadventureinArizona

【答案】16.G17.B18.D19.F20.E

【解析】

【分析】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。作者離開舒適而熟悉的家鄉前往異地生活，從開始的不適應，到挑戰自

我，慢慢融入當地生活，到志愿參加幫助殘疾人獻愛心活動和關愛流浪動物的經歷，讓他變得有愛心、耐

心、懂得感恩、有決心以及對生活有激情。

【16題詳解】

根據前句"Ispentmymostinfluential10monthsofmylifeasajunior.（我一生中最有影響力的10個月是在大

三度過的）”可知，接下來應該講述到那兒的具體經歷。所以選擇項G',1leftmycomfortableandfamiliarhome

tohaveanunusualadventureinArizona（我離開了我舒適熟悉的家，去亞利桑那州進行一次不尋常的冒險。）”

符合上下文語境。尤其后句的There正好指代前面的地點inArizona。故選G。

【17題詳解】

根據前文“Everyday,Istruggledtofitinthenewsocialenvironment,bulstillexperiencedsomanyblows.I

sufferedfromracialdifferencesBesidestheheavilypollutedairsometimesalmostchokedmetodeath.（每一天，

我都在努力適應新的社會環境，但還是經歷了很多打擊。我受到種族差異的折磨，而且污染嚴重的空氣有

時幾乎把我窒息而死。）”及下文具體講述三個方面的受挫可知，除了要承受種族差異，忍受嚴重空氣污

染外，作者還需應對各種社會沖突。所以選擇項B“Ihadtocopewithsocialconflictsaswell（我還得處理社

會沖突。）”符合上下文語境。故選B。

【18題詳解】
