这是一篇说明文。

文章介绍了山东省三座图书馆，包括各自的基本历史、藏书情况、开馆时
间及地理位置。

【1题详解】
推理判断题。

由山东省图书馆的内容，尤其是“It also exchanges documents and literature works with Japan, the United States and the United Kingdom at irregular intervals.”可知，该图书馆不定期与日本、美国和英国交流文献和文学作品。

而在另外两个图书馆都没有与国外交流资料，D项正确。

A选项称山东省图书馆是中国排名第十的图书馆，而原文则称它“is one of the top 10 libraries in China”（是中国前十之一的图书馆），并没有显示具体名次，A项错误；B选项称从周一到周日营业，而原文称它“closed every Monday afternoon”（周一下午不营业），B项错误；C项称它有中国最大的馆藏，而原文只是说它馆藏奢侈（luxurious），没说最大（largest），C项错误。

结合选项可知，故选D项。

【2题详解】
细节理解题。

由青岛图书馆的内容，“Opening Hours:8:30 am-5:30 pm”（上午8:30至下午5:30开门）可知，该图书馆的开业时长为9小时。

故选B项。

【3题详解】
细节理解题。

由利津县图书馆的内容，“It has 56,000 books, more than 1,000 bound volumes of newspaper, 5,000 bound volumes of journals, 120 thread-bound（线装的）ancient Chinese books”（拥有图书56000册，报纸精装1000多册，期刊精装5000册，中国古籍120册）可知，该馆藏有多册中国古籍，B项正确；A项称它全天开放，而原文“Opening Hours: From Monday to Sunday 8:00 am-11:00 am; 2:00 pm-5:00 pm”（开放时间: 星期一至星期日上午8时至上午11时; 下午2时至下午5时），并非全天开放，A项错误；C项中称它有三个服务站和100名员工，而原文中则只称“The library has three service stations”（该图书馆有三个服务站），没有说员工的数量，因此C项错误；D项称它是三个图书馆中藏书最多的，而原文中“It has 56,000 books”（它藏有5万6千本书），而山东省图书馆，“The library holds 6.12 million volumes”（藏书为613万册），通过比较可知，利津县图书馆不是图书最多的，D项错误。

故选B项。

【点睛】说明文主要包括事物说明文和事理说明文，说明文一般呈现出条理清晰、逻辑严谨的特点，说明文的语言要求准确、科学。

了解了这些特点，我们还要知道阅读理解的题型一般包括：细节理解题、语义猜测题、主旨大意题、判断推理题等。

本篇文章涉及比较多的是细节理解提。

细节类问题一般都能在原文中找到出处，只要仔细就可以在文中找到答案。

但正确的选择项不可能与阅读材料的原文完全相同，而是用不同的语句成句型表达相同的意思。

比如第1题中，原文中是“It also exchanges documents and literature works with Japan, the
United States and the United Kingdom at irregular intervals.”，而给的选项中是“It exchanges resources with some foreign countries.”，表述不一样，但是意思一样，是正确答案。

B

Many of the world’s largest brewers (啤酒商) are using new technologies to replace single-use, plastic six-pack beer rings with more sustainable materials. Though mostly being used in small test trials, full adoption could have a positive environmental impact. Carlsberg, for example, is using glue to adhere cans in a production method that the Danish brewer says would avoid using 1,200 tons of plastic yearly, or the equal of 60 million plastic bags, once fully adopted.
Brewers have zeroed in on plastic six-pack-ring packaging partly because most consumers can recall the miserable image of a seagull, turtle, or some other aquatic (水生的) creature trapped or killed by the plastic rings. The packaging is so deep-rooted in our culture that many children were taught to cut up the rings to lessen the chance that an animal might choke itself to death.
The rings developed by E6PR (Edible Six Pack Ring) programme, which is led by another brewery called Saltwater, are now used by 35 brewers across the globe, including in Africa, Europe, and Australia. These rings are made of waste wheat in beer production. The final goal is to ensure that the rings can be eaten harmlessly by aquatic creatures or break down in nature within a matter of weeks rather than the years it would take for plastic.
Giving up plastic straws and beer rings may help consumers feel better about their carbon footprint, but some experts say we should focus on other efforts. Recycling rates in the U.S.stand at just over 34%. Glass, in which many brewers bottle their beer, can be difficult to recycle and large to transport. If brewers were to focus on using thinner glass, some experts say, the improvement could prove even more beneficial to the environment than giving up plastic rings.
There’s also the risk that if consumers think their E6PR rings are less harmful, they’ll be more likely to litter. “The idea of creating something that’s litter-friendly is an issue in my mind,” says Nina Goodrich, executive director of environmental nonprofit GreenBlue. “What we need in North America is a better system to encourage collection and sorting.”
8. What does the underlined word “adhere” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Collect.
B. Stick.
C. Open.
D. Reuse.
9. Why were children taught to cut up the plastic rings?
A. To collect the rings for recycling.
B. To make the rings break down more easily.
C. To prevent the rings harming aquatic animals.
D. To increase children’s awareness of loving nature.
10. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 4?
A. Low recycling rates in the U.S.
B. Benefits of giving up plastic beer rings.
C. Difficulty in transporting beer glass bottles.
D. Another way to protect the environment.
11. What’s the risk of the E6PR rings?
A. They will be thrown away more casually.
B. They will not be accepted by consumers.
C. They will be more difficult to recycle.
D. They will be still made of plastic.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇说明文。

世界上许多大的啤酒商正在使用新技术来代替一次性塑料啤酒捆绑环，以减少对水生生物和环境的危害。

【8题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据上文“is using glue to…”可知，这家丹麦啤酒制造商表示，一旦完全采用这种用胶水粘啤酒罐的生产方法，每年将避免使用1200吨塑料，相当于6000万个塑料袋。

adhere的意思是“粘贴”，与stick是同义词。

故选B。

【9题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第二段“Brew ers …The packaging is so deep-rooted in our culture that many children were taught to cut up the rings to lessen the chance that an animal might choke itself to death.”可知，酿酒商将注意力集中在六环塑料包装上，部分原因是大多数消费者能想起海鸥、海龟或其他水生生物被塑料环困住或杀死的悲惨形象。

这种包装在我们的文化中是如此根深蒂固，以至于许多孩子被教导要把塑料环切碎，以减少动物窒息而死的机会。

由此可知，我们的孩子被教导把塑料环切碎是为了阻止对水生生物的伤害。

故选C 。

10题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第四段最后一句“If brewers were to focus on using thinner glass, some experts say, the improvement could prove even more beneficial to the environment than giving up plastic rings.”可知，如果啤酒厂专注于使用更薄的玻璃，这一改进将被证明比放弃塑料环对环境更有益。

由此推断，作者在本段主要介绍了另一种保护环境的方法。

故选D。

【11题详解】
细节理解题。

根据最后一段第一句“There’s also the risk that if consumers think their E6PR rings are less harmful, they’ll be more likely to litter.”可知，还有一个风险是，如果消费者认为他们的E6PR塑料环危害较小，他们就更有可能乱扔垃圾。

由此可知，E6PR 塑料环的风险在于它们会被更随意地丢弃。

故选A 。

【点睛】一般定位关键词适用于解答细节理解题。

通过定位关键词解题，考生在阅读题干时，把题干中有标记意义的词或词组标记出来，或者选项中的关键词，然后用这个词回到原文当中定位。

如小题4题干中的the risk of the E6PR rings，回到原文最后一段，可以帮助快速找出答案。

D
Astronauts on the International Space Station will soon test a new oven for making chocolate chip cookies. A spaceship carrying the cooking equipment and other supplies was launched on Saturday from the Wallops Flight Facility in the United States. The shipment, weighing 3,700 kilograms, reached the space station on Monday.The goal is to explore the possibility of making freshly baked cookies for space travelers.
American company Nanoracks designed and built the oven and helped with organizing the flight to the space station.Hilton DoubleTree hotels supplied the cookie dough(生面团）the astronauts will use.
In the past,space station crews have created their own pizzas using a thin,flat piece of bread known as flatbread.Astronauts have tried other creative ways to make food, such as creating salads from vegetables grown in the space station.Results have been mixed.
The cookie baking will be a slow process.The oven can heat just one cookie at a time.The test could take weeks before the astronauts have chance to try out freshly baked cookies.
Five unbaked cookies have been in a space station freezer for several weeks.Each is in its own individual clear bag made out of silicone.The oven can heat foods to temperatures as high as 177 degrees Celsius.That is twice the temperature of the U.S.and Russian food warmers on the space
station.The oven uses electric heating elements.
Mary Murphy is with Nanoracks.Murphy says she expects a baking time of 15 to 20 minutes for each cookie when the oven is heated to about 163 degrees Celsius.She adds that the smell of baking cookies should fill the space station each time a cookie comes out of the oven.
The oven's first use will be the real test.Without the force of gravity, the astronauts do not know exactly how the cookie will look.Three of the space-baked cookies are to be returned to Earth for testing.
12. Which of the following can best describe the new oven test?
A. Time-consuming.
B. Energy-saving.
C. Meaningless.
D. Successful.
13. What's the advantage of the new oven over the Russian food warmer?
A. It heats up much faster.
B. It's more convenient to use.
C. It has a larger cooking space.
D. It can heat up to a higher temperature.
14. What will make the cookie's appearance in the new oven uncertain?
A. The baking time.
B. The heating method.
C. The absence of gravity.
D. The speed of temperature rise.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Cooking Equipment in Space Station
B. Cookies Coming from the International Space Station
C. Creative Ways Astronauts Make Food in Space Station
D. A New Oven to Be Tested to Make Cookies in Space Station
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。

一艘载有新烤箱和其他物资的宇宙飞船星期六从美国的瓦勒普斯飞行基
地发射升空。

国际空间站的字航员将很快测试这种可以制作巧克力曲奇饼的新烤箱。

【12题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第四段The cookie baking will be a slow process. The oven can heat just one cookie at a time. The test could take weeks before the astronauts have chance to try out freshly baked cookies.(烤饼干是一个缓慢的过程。

烤箱一次只能加热一块饼干。

测试可能需要数周时间，宇航员才有机会品尝新鲜出炉的饼干)和倒数第二段Murphy says she expects a baking time of 15 to 20 minutes for each cookie when the oven is heated to about 163 degrees Celsius. (当烤箱加热到163摄氏度左右时，她希望每块饼干的烘焙时间为15到20分钟)根据烤箱每次烤饼干的时间和容量可知，新烤箱测试是比较耗时的，故选A。

【13题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第五段The oven can heat foods to temperatures as high as 177 degrees Celsius. That is twice the temperature of the U.S. and Russian food warmers on the space station.(这个烤箱可以将食物加热到177摄氏度。

这是美国和俄罗斯空间站上食物加热器温度的两倍)可知，新烤箱比俄国食物加热器加热的温度更高，故选D。

【14题详解】
细节理解题。

根据最后一段Without the force of gravity, the astronauts do not know exactly how the cookie will look.可知在太空没有重力，宇航员不知道饼干到底会烤成什么样子。

即失重会导致饼干外观的不确定性，故选C。

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。

根据第一段第一句Astronauts on the International Space Station will soon test a new oven for making chocolate chip cookies. 可知，文章谈论的话题是国际空间站的宇航员们将很快测试一种制作巧克力曲奇饼的新烤箱。

D项：A New Oven to Be Tested to Make Cookies in Space Station概括了文章内容，适合作为标题。

故选D。
