【答案】4.A5.C6.D7.B

【解析】

【導語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了貓通過叫聲、嗅覺和帶回禮物來表達需求、評估環境和展示

愛意。

【4題詳解】

細節理解題。根據第一段“Animalscanexpresstheirneedsusingalotofways.Forinstance,almostallanimals

havedistinctvocals(聲音)thattheyrelyontoeitheraskforhelp,scareawayanydangerousanimalsorlookfor

shelter.(動物可以用很多方式來表達他們的需求。例如，幾乎所有的動物都有獨特的聲音，它們依靠這些

聲音來尋求幫助，嚇跑危險的動物或尋找庇護。)”和“Meowingstartsassoonasababycatisbroughttolife

andusesittogetthemother’sattentionandbefed.(貓寶寶一出生就開始喵喵叫，喵喵叫是為了引起媽媽的注

意和被喂食。)”可知，貓叫聲是一種生存技能。故選A。

【5題詳解】

細節理解題。根據第二段“Catshavemanyheightenedsenses,buttheirsenseofsmellisquiteimpressive.They

usetheirnosestoassesstheirenvironmentandlookoutforanysignsofdanger.(貓有許多敏銳的感官，但它們

的嗅覺令人印象深刻。它們用鼻子來評估周圍的環境，尋找任何危險的跡象。)”可知，寵物貓通過檢查氣

味來評估不同情況。故選C。

【6題詳解】

詞句猜測題。根據第三段劃線詞前半句“Dogsareknownfortheirimpressivefetchinghabit,(狗以其令人印

象深刻的抓取習慣而聞名)”和后句“Manycatswillfindrandomobjectsoutsideandbringthemtotheir

owners.(許多貓會在外面隨意找到一些東西，并把它們帶給主人。)”可知，狗以取回東西而聞名，但貓可

以從外邊找到東西帶回來，因此在這一行為上更上一層樓。短語take...upanotch是用來形容貓在帶回東

西這一行為上做得更好或更出色。故選D。

第8頁/共24頁

【7題詳解】

主旨大意題。根據第一段“Animalscanexpresstheirneedsusingalotofways.(動物可以用很多方式來表達

他們的需求。)”及全文可知，文章都在介紹和解釋貓的各種行為方式，包括叫聲、嗅覺和帶回禮物的習

慣，以及這些行為背后的原因和意義。所以“UnderstandingYourCat’sBehavior(了解你的貓的行為)”作為

文章標題最為合適。故選B。

地區每年提供為期10個月的巡回醫療服務，為鄉村居民提供基本醫療檢查和治療，改善當地醫療條件。

【8題詳解】

細節理解題，根據文章第一段“TheSaintLukasisoneoffivegovernment-sponsoredmedicaltrainsthattravelto

remotetownsincentralandeasternRussia.Eachstoplastsanaverageoftwodays,andduringthattimethedoctors

andnursesonboardproviderural(鄉村)populationswithbasicmedicalcare,X-rayscansandprescriptions.(圣盧卡

斯號是五列政府資助的醫療列車之一，前往俄羅斯中部和東部的偏遠城鎮。每一站平均停留兩天，在此期

間，船上的醫生和護士為農村人口提供基本醫療服務、X光掃描和處方。)”可知，圣盧卡斯號與其他火車

的不同之處在于它是政府資助的醫療火車，充當醫院。故選C。

【9題詳解】

推理判斷題，第三段提到“Russia’spublichealthcareservicehasbeeninseriousneedofmodernization.The

governmenthasstruggledtocomeupwithmeasurestoaddresstheproblem,particularlyinthepoorer,ruralareas

eastoftheVolgaRiver,includingarrangingdoctor'sappointmentsbyvideochatandexpandingfinancialaid

衛生保健服務迫切需要現代化。政府一直在努力提出解決這一問題的措施，特別是在伏爾加河以東較貧窮

的農村地區，包括通過視頻聊天安排醫生預約，擴大財政援助計劃，激勵醫生到克拉斯諾亞爾斯克等偏遠

地區行醫。)”可以推斷，Krasnoyarsk需要醫療援助，故選D。

【10題詳解】

細節理解題，根據第四段“For10monthseveryyear,thetrainstopsatabouteightstationsovertwoweeks,before

returningtotheregionalcapitaltorefuelandrestock(補給).”(每年有10個月，火車在兩周內停靠大約八個車站，

然后返回地區首府進行補給和重新裝貨。)”可知，圣盧卡斯號一份補給可以工作大約兩周，故選D。

【11題詳解】

推斷判斷題。根據最后一段的““Iwasveryimpressedbythedoctorsandtheirassistantsworkingandlivingin

suchlittlespacebutstillstayingfocusedandveryconcerned,”saysDucke.“Theywerethebestchanceformany

ruralpeopletogetthetreatmenttheywant.”(“醫生和他們的助手在這么小的空間里工作和生活，但仍然保持

專注和非常關注，這給我留下了深刻的印象，”Ducke說。這是許多農村人獲得他們想要的治療的最好機

第10頁/共24頁

會?！?”可知，Ducke對SaintLukas的服務持贊賞的態度，故選A。

【答案】12.A13.C14.B15.B

【解析】

【導語】本文是一篇議論文。文章首先通過作者與教授關于小說結局的討論引發了對結局的思考，接著闡

述了不同類型的文學作品結局的特點，最后提出了寫作好的結局的重要性并介紹了《Writer’sDigest》雜志

如何幫助作家寫出更好的結尾。

【12題詳解】

細節理解題。根據第一段““Ididn’tliketheending,”Isaidtomyfavoritecollegeprofessor.Itwasmyjunior

yearofundergraduate,andIwasdoinganindependentstudyonVictorianliterature.IhadjustfinishedreadingThe

MillontheFlossbyGeorgeEliot,andIwasheartbrokenwiththeending.Prof.Gracie,withallhispatience,asked

metothinkaboutitbeyondwhetherIlikeditornot.(“我不喜歡這個結局，”我對我最喜歡的大學教授說。

那是我大三的時候，我正在做一項關于維多利亞文學的獨立研究。我剛剛讀完喬治·艾略特的《弗洛斯河上

的磨坊》，讀到結尾我很傷心。格雷西教授耐心地讓我考慮一下，不要只看我喜不喜歡)”可知，作者去找

格雷西教授是為了討論小說。故選A項。

【13題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據第二段“Thiswasanahamomentforme,andIneverthoughtaboutendingsthesameway

again.Fromthenon,ifIwantedtoreadanendingguaranteedtobehappy,I’dpickupaloveromance.IfIwanted

anendingIcouldn’tguess,I’dpickupamystery(懸疑小說).OnewhereIkindofknewwhatwasgoingto

happen,historicalfiction.Choosingwhattoreadbecameeasier.(這對我來說是一個頓悟的時刻，我再也沒有

想過同樣的結局。從那時起，如果我想讀一個保證幸福的結局，我就會選一部愛情小說。如果我想要一個

我猜不到的結局，我會選一本神秘小說。一種是我知道會發生什么，歷史小說。選擇讀什么變得更容易

了)”可知，見過格雷西教授后，作者意識到了每種類型的文學都有其獨特的結局。故選C項。

【14題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據第三段“Butwritingtheend—that’shard.It’shardforwritersbecauseendingscarrysomuch

weightwithreaders.Youhavetobalancecreatinganendingthat’sunpredictable,butdoesn’tseemtocomefrom

第12頁/共24頁

nowhere,onethatfitswhat’srightforthecharacters.(但是寫出結局——那很難。對作家來說很難，因為結局

對讀者來說意義重大。你必須平衡創造一個不可預測的結局，但這個結局又不能顯得憑空而來，要適合角

色的設定)”可知，人們對一個好結局的期望是結局又不能顯得憑空而來，要適合角色的設定，也就是符合

故事的發展。故選B項。

【15題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段“That’swhythisissue(期)ofWriter’sDigestaimstohelpyoufigureouthowto

了五部偉大小說的最后幾章，看看它們包含了哪些關鍵點，以及你如何將它們應用到你的作品中)”可知，

作者提到彼得·蒙福德和伊麗莎白·西姆斯是為了強調這期《Writer’sDigest》的主題，即幫助讀者寫出更好

的結尾。故選B項。
