D.ArcticOceanorPlasticOcean?【答案】28.A29.C30.B31.D【解析】【分析】這是一篇說明文。文章講述了，北極已經被微塑料污染，及這種污染給環境和人類生活帶來的影響。【28題詳解】細節理解題。由第一段中的“Thinkagain,orratheradd300billionpiecesofplastic(塑料)toyourpicture.That'stheamountofplasticthatscientistsbelieveisfloatingaroundtheArcticOcean.MostoftheplasticisintheareatotheeastofGreenlandandnorthofScandinavia(再想一想，或者更確切地說，在你的照片上加上3000億塊塑料。這是科學家們認為在北冰洋周圍漂浮的塑料量。大部分塑料都在格陵蘭島以東和斯堪的納維亞半島以北的地區)”可知，北冰洋周圍漂浮的塑料量有3000億塊。由此可知，北冰洋污染嚴重。故選A項。【29題詳解】細節理解題。由第二段中的“ItturnsoutthatoceancurrentsarecarryingplasticthrownintotheoceanallthewaytotheArctic.(原來，洋流攜帶著塑料被扔進海洋，一直到北極)”和第四段中的“Plastichasbeenwidelyusedfor60yearsonEarthandourcarelessthrowingofplasticthingsisslowlyturningtheonceperfectlycleanArcticintoadangerousplace.Unlikefoodwasteandplantwaste,plasticdoesn'tbreakdownsoeasily.(塑料在地球上已經廣泛使用了60年，我們不小心扔塑料制品正在慢慢地把曾經非常干凈的北極變成一個危險的地。與食物垃圾和植物垃圾不同，塑料不容易分解)”可知，人類隨意丟棄塑料制品、洋流把塑料東西帶到各處和塑料很難分解是導致塑料海洋的原因，C項“塑料會把有害物質排放到水中”是塑料制品給海洋帶來的影響，不是導致塑料海洋的原因。故選C項。【30題詳解】詞義猜測題。由最后一段中的“Seabirds,seaturtlesandotheroceancreaturescouldgethurtanddiewhentheyaccidentallyswallowplastic.(海鳥、海龜和其他海洋生物在不小心swallow塑料時可能受傷并死亡)”可知，只有當海洋生物“吞下”塑料時才可能受傷并死亡。由此推知，劃線詞swallow在此處意為“takein(攝入、吸收)”。故選B項。【31題詳解】主旨大意題。由第一段“WhenyouthinkoftheicyArcticOcean,doyoupicturecoldbluewaters,onwhichfloat(漂浮)icebergshometoanimalsandfishnotseenelsewhereontheplanet?Thinkagain,orratheradd300billionpiecesofplastic(塑料)toyourpicture.That'stheamountofplasticthatscientistsbelieveisfloatingaroundtheArcticOcean.MostoftheplasticisintheareatotheeastofGreenlandandnorthofScandinavia(當你想到冰冷的北冰洋時，你是否想到了冰冷的藍色海水，在那里漂浮著的冰山是地球上其他地方看不到的動物和魚類的家園？再想一想，或者更確切地說，在你的照片上加上3000億塊塑料。這是科學家們認為在北冰洋周圍漂浮的塑料量。大部分塑料都在格陵蘭島以東和斯堪的納維亞半島以北的地區)”可知，第一段提到北冰洋以及其被塑料制品嚴重污染的現狀，隨后文章對污染的成兇以及帶來的影響進行了敘述。由此可知，D項“北冰洋還是塑料海洋？”適合作本文最佳標題。故選D項。DAnancienttombwasrecentlydiscoveredinsouthernSiberiainwhichtheremaybetreasure,pricelessobjects,andthe3,000yearoldremainsofanicemummy.SwissscientistGinoCaspariwiththeUniversityofBernwaslookingcarefullyatthepicturesoftheareaintheRussianTuvaRepublic,whenhecameacrosswhatappearedtobeatomb.ItisatomboftheScythians,anancientgroupofEurasians.Thissummer,togetherwithresearchersfromtheRussianAcademyofSciencesandtheHermitageMuseum,adigatthesitenotonlyprovedCaspari'sidea,buttoldusthesiteisthelargestandoldestofitskindeverdiscoveredinwhat'sincreasinglyknownasthe“SiberianValleyoftheKings.”WhileanydiscoverydatingbacktoaperiodbetweentheIronAgeandBronzeAgeisexciting,it'sthenatureofthissitethatmakesscientistswanttobegincarefullyclearingawaythelayersofrockandearth.First,thetombappearstohaveneverbeendug,becauseitisinaSiberianwetlandfarawayfromthenearestplacewherepeoplelive.Second,andmostimportant,isitspossiblerestingplaceunderathicklayerofpermafrost.“There'spermafrostinthearea,”Casparisaid.“Therearereallyonlyahandfulofpermafrosttombsandveryfewthathavenotbeendamaged,wheretherehavebeenicemummiesingoodcondition,andallthethingsinthetombareuntouched.”Whilenotaslarge,othertombsdiscoveredintheareahaveproducedfantasticaltreasuresandobjects,includingthousandsofgoldobjectsandotherthingsaboutthepast.Bystudyingallthesetombs,researchershopetohaveabetterunderstandingoftheScythianpeople.Casparisaidhisteamisinaraceagainsttimetouncoverthetombandfindoutitssecrets.“Wenowhavetoactfast,”hesaid,“becausewiththerisingtemperatures,thepermafrostcouldmeltanddamageallthethingsinthattomb.Andthesearethingsthatareover3,000yearsold,thatlooklikenew,liketheywereputthereyesterday.”32.HowdidCasparidiscoverthetomb?A.Bystudyingpictures.

D.Theywanttosavetimeforothertombs.【答案】32.A33.D34.C35.B【解析】【分析】這是一篇說明文。主要說明了最近，在西伯利亞南部發現了一座古墓，里面可能有珍寶、無價的物品，還有一具三千年的冰木乃伊遺骸。介紹了這一古墓被發現的經過以及古墓難以被發現的原因等情況。【32題詳解】細節理解題。根據第二段“SwissscientistGinoCaspariwiththeUniversityofBernwaslookingcarefullyatthepicturesoftheareaintheRussianTuvaRepublic,whenhecameacrosswhatappearedtobeatomb.ItisatomboftheScythians,anancientgroupofEurasians.(瑞士伯爾尼大學的科學家GinoCaspari在仔細研究俄羅斯圖瓦共和國的這一地區的照片時，發現了一個疑似墳墓的東西。這是斯基泰人的墳墓，一個古老的歐亞混血兒群體)”可知，這位瑞士科學家在研究圖片時發現了古墓。故選A。【33題詳解】推理判斷題。根據第四段中“First,thetombappearstohaveneverbeendug,becauseitisinaSiberianwetlandfarawayfromthenearestplacewherepeoplelive.Second,andmostimportant,isitspossiblerestingplaceunderathicklayerofpermafrost.(首先，墓穴似乎從未被挖掘過，因為它位于西伯利亞濕地，遠離最近的人類居住地。其次，也是最重要的一點是，它可能位于厚厚的永久凍土層之下)”可知，古墓在人跡罕至的凍土層下，所以很難被發現。故選D。【34題詳解】細節理解題。根據倒數第二段中“Bystudyingallthesetombs,researchershopetohaveabetterunderstandingoftheScythianpeople.(通過研究所有這些墓穴，研究人員希望能更好地了解斯基泰人)”可知，挖掘古墓可以幫助科學家更好地了解斯基泰人。故選C。【35題詳解】細節理解題。根據最后一段中““Wenowhavetoactfast,”hesaid,“becausewiththerisingtemperatures,thepermafrostcouldmeltanddamageallthethingsinthattomb.(“我們現在必須迅速行動，”他說，“因為隨著氣溫上升，永久凍土可能會融化，破壞墓穴里的所有東西。”)”可知，隨著氣溫升高、凍土解凍，墓中的物品就會遭到破壞，所以他們才需要盡快挖掘。故選B。第二節（共5小題;每小題2分，滿分10分）根據短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。Brainfitnesshasbasicrules:varietyandcuriosity.___36___Ifyoucandothecrosswordpuzzleinyoursleep,forexample,it'stimeforyoutomoveontoanewchallengeinordertogetthebestworkoutforyourbrain.Curiosityabouttheworldaroundyou,howitworksandhowyoucanunderstanditwillkeepyourbrainworkingfast.Usetheideasbelowtomakeyourbrainsmarter.1.PlayGamesBrainfitnessprogramsandgamesarewonderfulwaystochallengeyourbrain.___37___Thesegamesdependonlogic(邏輯),wordskills,mathandmore.Thesegamesarealsofun.You'llgetbenefitmorebydoingthesegamesalittlebiteveryday.2.TellStories___38___Practicetellingyourstories,bothnewandold,sothattheyareinterestingandfun.3.ExerciseYourBodytoExerciseYourBrain___39___Bymovingyourbody,yourbrainhastolearnnewmuscle(肌肉)skills,judgedistanceandpracticebalance.Chooseavarietyofexercisestochallengeyourbrain.4.MakeSimpleChangesWeloveourroutines(常規).Butthemoresomethingis“secondnature”,thelessourbrainshavetoworktodoit.Changewaystothegrocerystore,useyouroppositehandtoopendoorsandeatdessertfirst.___40___A.Physicalexerciseisgreatbrainexercisetoo.B.Toreallyhelpyourbrainstayyoung,challengeit.C.Wehavehobbiesandpastimesthatwecoulddoforhoursonend.D.Whenanythingyoudobeessecondnature,youneedtomakeachange.E.Allthesewillforceyourbraintowakeupfromhabitsandpayattentionagain.F.Crosswordsandelectronicgamescanbothimproveyourbrain'sspeedandmemory.G.Storiesareawaythatwestrengthenmemories,tellabouteventsandsharemoments.【答案】36.D37.F38.G39.A40.E【解析】【分析】本文是說明文。本文講述了讓大腦變得更聰明4種方法。【36題詳解】根據上一句“Brainfitnesshasbasicrules:varietyandcuriosity(大腦健康的基本規律是:多樣性和好奇心).”和下一句“Ifyoucandothecrosswordpuzzleinyoursleep,forexample,it'stimeforyoutomoveontoanewchallengeinordertogetthebestworkoutforyourbrain.(例如，如果在你昏昏欲睡的時候都可以做填字游戲，那么為了讓你的大腦得到最好的鍛煉，你就該轉移到一個新的挑戰了)”可知，我們要保持多樣性和好奇心，當你做的事情不假思索就可以手到擒來，那么你就需要一個新挑戰來鍛煉大腦了，選項D.Whenanythingyoudobeessecondnature,youneedtomakeachange(不論做何事一旦成了老習慣，就需要改改了)符合語境，故選D。【37題詳解】根據本段副標題“PlayGames”可知，我們可以通過玩游戲來鍛煉大腦，根據下一句“Thesegamesdependonlogic(邏輯),wordskills,mathandmore.”可知，句中“thesegames”與選項F.Crosswordsandelectronicgamescanbothimproveyourbrain'sspeedandmemory.(填字游戲和電子游戲都可以提高你的思維速度和記憶力)中“crosswordsandelectronicgames”是上下義詞關系，指代相同，且語義連貫，故選F。【38題詳解】根據本段副標題“TellStories”可知，本段講故事對鍛煉大腦所起的作用，選項G.Storiesareawaythatwestrengthenmemories,tellabouteventsandsharemoments(故事是我們加強記憶、講述事件和分享時刻的一種方式)談到講故事是鞏固記憶的一種方法，與小標題正好符合。故選G。【39題詳解】根據本段副標題“ExerciseYourBodytoExerciseYourBrain”可知，你可以通過鍛煉身體來鍛煉你的大腦，下一句“Bymovingyourbody,yourbrainhastolearnnewmuscle(肌肉)skills,judgedistanceandpracticebalance.”具體說明鍛煉身體是如何使大腦也得到鍛煉的。選項A.Physicalexerciseisgreatbrainexercisetoo(身體鍛煉也是很好的大腦鍛煉)符合語境，故選A。【40題詳解】本段副標題“MakeSimpleChanges”可知，我們要做出一些小改變。根據上一句“Changewaystothegrocerystore,useyouroppositehandtoopendoorsandeatdessertfirst.”舉例說明了生活中的小改變，而這些小改變能鍛煉你的大腦，讓它重新充滿活力，選項E.Allthesewillforceyourbraintowakeupfromhabitsandpayattentionagain(所有這些都會迫使你的大腦從習慣中清醒過來，再次集中注意力)符合語境，且選項E中“allthese”指代前一句話中提到的“改變去副食店的路線，改用另一只手開門，吃飯時改為先吃餐后吃的甜點與水果等等生活中的小改變”，故選E。第三部分語言知識運用（共兩節，滿分45分）第一節完形填空（共20小題;每小題1.5分，滿分30分）閱讀下面的短文，從短文后各題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。Atriptothelocallandfill(垃圾填埋場)hasforeverchangedthelifeofaGreekmanafterhefoundaninjureddoghidingamongtherubbish.IthasbeensixyearssinceTheoklitosTakisProestakisfirstfeltencouragedto___41___thenearbylandfillontheislandofCrete.___42___hewentaround,hefoundaninjured___43___dog.Heknewthathehadto___44___thedog,sohebroughtittoalocalveterinarian(獸醫)formedical___45___.Oncethedogwas___46___,Takisrealizedthathedidnothave___47___forthedogathisownhome—sohebroughtthedogbacktothelandfilland___48___tobringitfoodeveryday.Duringhisregularvisitstothelandfill,Takiscameuponmoreandmoreinjured___49___.Luckilyforthem,Takiswasmorethan____50____totakethedogsunderhiswingandprovidethemwith____51____andveterinarytreatment.Afterayearofregularvisitstothelandfill,Tak
