【答案】4.D5.C6.C7.B

行戶外活動。

【4題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據文章第一段第一句"OnDecembernight,firetrucksarrivedinthesleepylittletownofManton,

MichiganandrushedtoChittie'shome.(12月的晚上，消防車到達了密歇根州沉睡的曼頓小鎮,沖向了奇特

爾的家。第二段最后一句"Andwhafsabetteroutdooractivitytogetpeopleoutsidethaniceskating?(還有

什么比滑冰更能讓人們出門的戶外活動呢？）”和第三段最后一句的“Ittook12firetruckstogetenoughwater

tofilltheplot（12輛消防車才運來足夠的水。）”可知，在12月的一個晚上，消防車趕往Manton,幫助Chittie

修建溜冰場（TohelpwithChittie'sbuildingtheicerink.）o故選D項。

【5題詳解】

細節理解題。根據文章第三段第一句"Tomakehisdreamareality,Chittiedownloadedinstructionsonhowtobuild

anicerinkandthenordereda3,000squarefootwaterproofclothandsomewoodtocreatewallsonline.（為了實現

他的夢想，Chittle下載了如何建造溜冰場的說明，然后在網上訂購了3000平方英尺的防水布和一些木頭來

建造墻壁。）”可知，為了實現建溜冰場這一夢想，ChilUe在網上下載了建造教程并購買了所需材料（Turnto

theInternetfortipsandmaterials.）o故選C項。

【6題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段最后一句uWhenthingsweretough,itwasaplace（當情況艱難時，它是一個

地方）“"Itwasfantasticbecausewejustcametogetherandbecamecalmandhappyinsteadofworried.（這太棒了，

因為我們聚在一起，變得平靜和快樂，而不是擔心。）”可知，在形勢艱難的時，Chittle建的溜冰場成了一

個讓人們可以聚在一起，感到平靜和快樂，而不是擔心的地方。由此可推斷，Chittie建的溜冰場帶給社區

居民慰藉和陪伴（Itbroughtpeopletherecomfortandcompany.）。故選C項。

【7題詳解】

詞句猜測題。結合上文提到的Chittle為社區建溜冰場和畫線句下面兩句"Whenthecommunityheardhowmuch

moneyheusedtomakethisprojecthappen,everyonesteppedforward.Afundraiserbroughtinabout$1,300,and

lettersweresenttoChittie'shomestuffedwithcash.（當社區聽說他花了多少錢來實現這個項目時，每個人都

挺身而出。一場籌款活動帶來了大約1300美元的收入，人們給Chittle家里寄去了裝滿現金的信件。）”可知，

畫線部分表示善意并沒有在Chiltle這里終止，人們知道Chittle的付出后向他伸出了援手，傳達他們的善意

（Chittlereceivedkindnessfromothers.）o故選B項。

【答案】12.C13.B14.D15.A

【解析】

【導語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了挑戰獎的內容和優缺點。

【12題詳解】

主旨大意題。文章第一段以問題引出challengeprize這個主題；根據第四段"Thereareotheradvantagestoo.（挑

戰獎還有其他的優勢）”可知，第二、三、四段說明了挑戰獎的意義和優點；根據第五段“However,thereare

dangersconnectedtoblue-skythinking』然而，這種天馬行空的想法也存在危險）“可知，第五段說明了挑戰獎

的缺點。C項“Theprosandconsofchallengeprize.（挑戰獎的利弊）“符合本文主要內容。故選C項。

【13題詳解】

more,thecrowdcanalsothrowupissuesthatmayhavebeenoverk）oked.（此外，人們也可以拋出可能被忽視的問

題）”可知，挑戰獎能匯集公眾的智慧，激勵人們一起發現可能被忽視的問題；根據第二段“Ratherthan

consultingandpayinganexperttoinnovateasolution,youoffertheprizeuptoanyonewhobelievestheycansolve

itandpresentthefirsttodosowithaprize.（你不是咨詢并付錢給專家來創新一個解決方案，而是給任何相信自

己能解決問題的人頒獎，并給第一個這樣做的人頒獎）”可知，挑戰獎突破了傳統思維的界限。所以A項、

C項、D項均為挑戰獎的優勢，B項文中未提及。故選B項。

【14題詳解】

詞句猜測題。根據最后一段"Youdon'twanttobecreatingachallengeprizewhichpushespeopletosolveaproblem

wherethereisnodemand.（你不想設立一個挑戰獎，推動人們去解決一個沒有需求的問題）"可知，"blue-sky

thinkingw指的是沒有需求的創新思維。故選D項。

【答案】16.G17.C18.A19.E20.B

【解析】

【導語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一些幫助睡眠的方法。

【16題詳解】

根據前文“Isthereanythingworsethandesperatelyneedingsleepandnotbeingabletogetit?Itisnotjustamatter

offeringtired.（還有比極度需要睡眠而又睡不著更糟糕的事情嗎？這不僅僅是感覺累的問題）”可知，此處需

要列舉出更多睡眠不足可能導致的問題。G項意思是從長遠來看，睡眠不足會導致抑郁、肥胖、糖尿病、

中風和癌癥，即G項列舉出了一些睡眠不足可能導致的更嚴重的問題，符合語境。故選G項。

【17題詳解】

根據該部分小標題“DorTtGoTowardstheLight.（不要走向光）"及后文"Ourbrainsreacttothebluelightemitted

bycomputers,smartphonesandevenLEDbulbsmuchastheydotodaylight-asasignaltoreducemelatonin

productionandstayalert.（我們的大腦對電腦、智能手機甚至LED燈泡發出的藍光的反應就像對日光一樣----

作為減少褪黑激素分泌和保持警惕的信號）”可知，電腦、智能手機甚至LED燈泡發出的藍光不利于睡眠，

即睡覺前玩手機或筆記本電腦絕對不是一個好方法。C項符合語境。故選C項。

【18題詳解】

根據前文“Theresearchers'theoryisthatinbothmeditationandnon-REMsleep,neuronsinthebrainfireinamore

synchronouspatternthantheydoduringwakinghours.（研究人員理論是，在冥想和非快速眼動睡眠中，大腦

神經元的放電模式比清醒時更同步）”可知，在冥想和非快速眼動睡眠中，大腦神經元的放電模式比清醒時

更同步。A項意思是這是因為這種同步性可能會重置神經元并減少信息過載。A項中的“synchronicity”與

前文中的“synchronous”對應，A項解釋了前文理論的原因，符合語境。故選A項。

【19題詳解】

前文為"Inobstructivesleepapnea,themusclesinthebackofthethroatrelaxtoomuch,blockingbreathing.（在阻

塞性睡眠呼吸暫停中，喉嚨后部的肌肉過度放松，阻礙了呼吸）”。E項意思是這會導致血氧水平下降，這是

一種常見的睡眠干擾因素，也是一種潛在的危險因素。睡眠中呼吸暫停會導致血氧水平下降，干擾睡眠，

所以E項中的指代前文的"sleepapnea”。故選E項。

【20題詳解】
