（研究人員過去曾用透明木材做過實驗，但新方法更具可持續性。其他方法通常是將木材

浸泡在一種叫亞氯酸鈉的化合物中，以去除木質素，木質素是賦予木材結構的一部分。

【答案解析】

這是一篇說明文，文章主要講述家庭分工走向數字化，職場父母使用一些應用程序來分

配和追蹤家庭待辦事項。

increasinglyarespendingtimeonfoodpreparationandcleanup.（女性仍然承擔更多的家務

活，但男性越來越多地花時間準備食物和打掃衛生。戶可推知，劃線短語所在句意為'‘在

每段關系中，都有一個該誰承擔家務活的問題故選A項。

【詳解】

細節理解題。根據第三段中“Theyarcusingprojectmanagementappsdesignedforthe

workplacetodivideupandtrackhouseholdto-dosandreservingaportionoftheirdatenights

tocomparechores.（他們使用專為工作場所設計的項目管理應用程序來劃分和跟蹤家庭待

辦事項，并預留了一部分約會時間來比較家務。）“可知，這對夫婦使用項目管理程序是

為了分配和跟蹤家庭待辦事項。故選C項。

【詳解】

推理判斷題。根據第四段中根herewasatimewhenMr.Wilsonwasinmoreofa'Mr.Mom'

role（曾經有段時間Wilson先生充當了“媽媽"的角色）"及"Thecouple'sroleschangedafter

Mr.Wilsongraduatedandstartedane-commcrcecompany.4Wehavehadalotofswitching

角色發生了變化。她說：‘在家庭管理方面，我們經常在由誰來掌舵這個問題上來回轉

換，這樣就不會有人受到太大的壓力。’）“可知，Wilson夫婦根據彼此的工作需要靈活轉

換在家庭管理中充當的角色，互相理解來經營家庭。所以我們可以從Wilson夫婦的例子

中推知，理解有助于解決沖突。故選D項。

【詳解】

主旨大意題。根據全文內容，結合第三段中“Tokeepthingsfairoratleasttoavoidfights,

couplesareturningtotechnology.（為了保持公平，或者至少避免爭吵，夫妻們開始求助于

項。

【答案解析】

本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了通過研究，人們發現環境可以影響海龜生殖。

【詳解】

詞義猜測題。根據后文“whilenestsinthemid-80screateagendermix（而85度的海龜巢

則會產生性別混合。）”中的creat,可猜測，hatch指的是“孵化產生”之意。故選A。

【詳解】

細節理解題。根據第二段“Seaturtleeggsthathatchbelow81.86degreesFahrenheitproduce

males,accordingtotheNationalOceanicandAtmosphericAdministration,whilenestsinthe

mid-80screateagendermix.Anythinghigherthan87.8degrees,though,is100percentgirls.根

據美國國家海洋和大氣管理局的數據，在華氏81.86度以下孵化的海龜蛋會產生雄性，

而80年代中期的海龜巢則會產生性別混合。不過，高于87.8度的都是女孩。”可知，為

了產生平衡的性別比例，我們最好把海龜蛋放在華氏85度。故選B。

【詳解】

細節理解題。根據倒數第二段“Sodosprinkler（灑水）systemsanddividingeggsintosmaller

hatches.（噴水滅火系統和將蛋分成更小的孵化蛋也是如此。）"可知，把蛋分成更小的

孵化可以給巢降溫。故選D。

細節理解題。根據“LiyuanLibrary”部分前兩句“InavillageoutsideofBeijing.China,a

smalllibraryhidesamongstthetreesinaquietsetting.TheLiyuanLibraryiswrappedin

recycledbranches.”（在中國北京郊外的一個村莊里，有一個隱蔽在樹林中的小圖書館。梨

園圖書館是用回收的樹枝包裝的。）可知，梨園圖書館非常接近自然。所以選項C正確。

且據此可知，梨園圖書館的設計并不是傳統的，所以選項A錯誤。根據“LiyuanLibrary”

部分最后一句"Perhapsthemostimpressivethingistheopendesignthatallowsinlightfrom

nearbyeverydirection."（也許最令人印象深刻的是開放的設計，允許光從附近的每個方向

的進入。）可知，圖書館內的光線很亮，所以選項B錯。根據“LiyuanLibraiy”部分第三句

“Indoors,threelevelsofbooksandreadingspacesareavailablefortheoccasionalguests.''（在

室內，三層的書籍和閱讀空間為偶爾的客人提供。）可知，圖書館內偶爾才有客人，所以

選項D錯。故選C。

細節理解題。根據“A47MobileLibrary”部分第一句和第二句"Whywillyougotothe

圖書館呢？A47移動圖書館是一個帶輪子的圖書館，它在墨西哥城四處巡游，將書籍帶

給公眾。）可知，即使在你呆在家里的時候也可以進入A47移動圖書館。故選D。
