B
In the trailer (拖车式房屋)，Sischo was refreshing the snails ‘(锅牛〕accommodations--an ongoing routine that takes days of careful work. He had found a dozen of Achatinella bulimoides--a third of the world's population of the species. Once every individual was accounted for, he cleaned the cage and packed in new leaves. The work took much trouble, but the responsibility, he said, was like “a heavy weight sitting on you.〞
The trailer is very vulnerable. It’s designed to keep away would-be thieved, and to resist hurricanes. But a fire could easily destroy it, or a disease could sweep through it. Last September , a mystery pathogon〔病原体〕appeared to have entered the trailer on leaves fed to the snails, killing almost an entire species. As sad as the event was, the re’s no good way to insure against future catastrophe. The snails can’t simply be spread among zoos or other facilities: they need special equipment, experienced handlers, and a diet of native Hawaiian plants.
Consequently, it can be hard for the snails' minders to relax, even when they are outside the trailer. “How do you switch off when your decisions mean existence or extinction?" Sischo said. While action lightens the burden, yet with animals whose
natural history is largely unknown, that action can be dangerous. "If you do it wrong, the snails die.〞
Snails are neither intelligent nor beloved. Sischo's friends sometimes tease him about being "the strange snail guy' ; strangers ask why he cares. It's hard to convince people, but he insists that if he can just get them in the trailer, they will understand why the Achatinella bulimoides are worth saving. "People melt," he said“When you show them that the entire population is in this chamber, it hits them."
4. What is the trailer used for?
A. Accommodating guests
B. Sheltering snails
C. Planting vegetables.
D. Alarming thieves.
5. What does the underlined word “vulnerable" mean in paragraph?
A. Quite.
B. Safe.
C. Easily affected.
D. Well protected.
6. What is the snail minders' attitude towards their job?
A. Relaxed.
B. Confident.
C. Cautious
D. Disapproving
7. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A. The Last of Its Kind
B. The Worst of Times
C. Mourn Its Loss
D. Resist Possible Dangerous
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. A

主要说明为了拯救濒临灭绝的蜗牛物种，人类为它们制作了特殊的设备---拖车式房屋，经历丰富的驯养员和夏威夷本地植物的饮食，这些都有益于蜗牛的保护。

【4题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第二段的内容“The trailer It’s designed to keep away would-be thieved, and to resist hurricanes. But a fire could easily destroy it, or a disease could sweep through it. As s ad as the event was, there’s no good way to insure against future catastrophe. The snails can’t simply be spread among zoos or other facilities: they need special equipment〞可知，拖车房屋很脆弱。

它的设计是为了防止可能被盗，抵御飓风。

但是火灾很容易摧毁它，或者者疾病可以席卷它。

，但没有好的方法来防止将来的灾难。

蜗牛不能简单地在动物园或者其他设施中生存：它们需要特殊的设备。

这个特殊的设备就是the trailer。

由此可知，这个和the trailer 是给蜗牛住的房子，是收容蜗牛，为其遮风挡雨的。

分析选项可知，故B项符合题意。

【5题详解】
猜想词义题。

根据划线词The trailer is very vulnerable后的内容“ It’s designed to keep away would-be thieved, and to resist hurricanes. But a fire could easily destroy it, or a disease could sweep through it. Last September , a mystery pathogen appeared to have entered the trailer on leaves fed to the snails, killing almost an entire species.〞拖车房屋的设计是为了防止潜在的盗窃，并抵御飓风。

但是一场火灾可以轻易地摧毁它，或者者一种疾病可以席卷它。

由此可推断出，这种拖车房屋很容易被火烧，疾病可摧毁它，所以它是易受其他因素影响的。

应选C。

【6题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第三段it can be hard for the snails' minders to relax, even when
they are outside the trailer. “How do you switch off when your decisions mean existence or extinction? yet with animals whose natural history is largely unknown, that action can be dangerous. "If you do it wrong, the snails die.〞蜗牛的看护人员即使在拖车房外也很难放松“你的决定会影响它们的生存或者消灭，你怎么能不担忧呢？〞但对于自然根本一无所知的动物来说，这种行动可能是危险的。

假如你做错了，蜗牛就会死。

由此可知，蜗牛看护者对待他们的态度是慎重小心的。

分析选项A. Relaxed.放松的；B. Confident自信的； C. Cautious慎重小心的；D. Disapproving反对的。

可知C 项符合题意，应选C。

【7题详解】
主旨大意题。

根据第一段中的“. He had found a dozen of Achatinella bulimoides --a third of the world's population of the species〞一天他发现了12种蜗牛，占世界蜗牛总数的三分之一。

第二段中的“Last September , a mystery pathogon〔病原体〕appeared to have entered the trailer on leaves fed to the snails, killing almost an entire species.〞去年9月,一个谜似的 (病原体进入了拖车中蜗牛吃的树叶, 几乎杀死整个物种。

第三段中的“How do you switch off when your decisions mean existence or extinction?〞 Sischo said。

“你的决定会影响它们的生存或者消灭，你怎么能不担忧呢？你的决定会影响它们的生存或者消灭，你怎么能不担忧呢？〞由此可推断出：这种蜗牛的数量极少，也就是说“这种物种最后的几条蜗牛“。

分析选项可知A项“这种物种最后的几条蜗牛〞为短文最正确标题。

应选A。

【点睛】在阅读中我们经常会考察猜想词义题。

事实上，阅读材料中的每个词与它前后的词语或者句子甚至段落都有联络。

运用逻辑推理猜想词义是使用最广考察最多也最易失分的猜词方式，这要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的才能，充分利用上下文〔各种信息〕并结合
详细的语境推测、判断某些词或者短语的词义。

如第2小题属于猜想词义题。

根据划线词The trailer is very vulnerable后的内容“ It’s designed to keep away would-be thieved, and to resist hurricanes. But a fire could easily destroy it, or a disease could sweep through it. Last September , a mystery pathogen appeared to have entered the trailer on leaves fed to the snails, killing almost an entire species.〞拖车房屋的设计是为了防止潜在的盗窃，并抵御飓风。

但是一场火灾可以轻易地摧毁它，或者者一种疾病可以席卷它。

由此可推断出，这种拖车房屋很容易被火烧，疾病可摧毁它，所以它是易受其他因素影响的。

应选C。

C
In the old days, when you had to drive to a movie theater of to to a video store to get some entertainment, it was easy to see how your actions could have an impact om the environment.You were hopping into your war, driving across town and coughing out emissions〔排放〕and using gas all the way.
But now that we’re used to staying at home and streaming movies, we might get a little cocky. After all ,we’re just picking up our phones or maybe turning on the TV. You’re welcome.Mother Nature.
Not so fast, says a recent report from the French-based Shit Project. Watching
a half-hour show would lead to 3.5 pounds of CO2 emissions. That’s like driving
3.9 miles. According to "Climate Crisis: The Unsustainable Use of Online Video," digital technologies are responsible for 4% of greenhouse gas emissions, and that energy use is increasing by 9% a year. Stored in data centers, videos are transferred to our terminals such as computers, smart phones, etc. via networks: all these
processes require electricity whose production consumes resources and usually involves CO2 emissions.
In the European Union, the Eureca project lead scientist, Rabih Bashroush, calculated that 5 billion downloads and streams of the song "Despacito" consumed as much electricity as the countries of Chad, Guinea-Bissau, Somalia, Sierra Leone and the Central African Republic used in a single year.
Streaming is only expected to increase as we become more attached to our devices. Online video use is expected to account for 80%of all internet traffic by 2022 according to CISCO. By then, about 60% of the world's population will be online.
You're probably not going to give up your streaming services, but there are things you con do to help lessen the impact of your online use.
Here are some tips:
※Disable autoplay for video on social media.
※Stream over Wi-Fi, not mobile networks.
※Watch on the smallest screen you can.
※Don’t use high-definition〔高清〕video on devices.
8. It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that people think .
A. they should welcome Mother Nature
B. watching movies at home is more fun
C. it is inconvenient to drive to a movie theater
D. streaming at home avoids possible emissions
9. We may learn from the text that .
A. 3.9 miles may produce 3.5 pounds of CO2
B. digital technologies account for 4% of electricity use
C. Online video use makes up 80% of all internet traffic
D. 60% of the world’s population watch videos online
10. Why are the five countries mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To praise their energy-efficient practice.
B. To prove the poverty of the five countries
C. To stress the popularity of the song “Despacito〞
D. To show the high energy use of downloads and streams
11. How can people help to save energy when streaming?
A. Use high-definition videos.
B. Turn off video autoplay
C. Stream over mobile networks.
D. Watch movies on bigger screens. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
本文为说明文。

以前，我们开车去看电影或者购物，会排放二氧化碳，消费自然资源。

而如今我们习惯了在家里看流媒体电影，防止了排放二氧化碳。

但是看自媒体会消耗能源，排放二氧化碳。

有报告说，下载和流媒体的能耗非常高。

文章提供了如何在使用流媒体时尽可能地减少在线时间是节约能源的方法。

【8题详解】
推理判断题。

第一段In the old days, when you had to drive to a movie theater or to a video store to get some entertainment, it was easy to see how your actions could have an impact om the environment.driving across town and coughing out emissions
〔排放〕and using gas all the way.中提出：以前我们开车去看电影或者买东西时很容易对环境造成影响，不仅增加排放，还消费自然资源。

第二段承接上文说“But now that we’re used to staying at home and streaming movies,.You’re welcome. Mother Nature〞而如今人们习惯在家里利用流媒体上看电影，也就不用开车去外面，就防止了排放。

分析选项可知，家庭流媒体防止了可能的气体排放。

应选D。

【9题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第三段“Watching a half-hour show would lead to 3.5 pounds of CO2 emissions. That’s like driving 3.9 miles. digital technologies are responsible for 4% of greenhouse gas emissions,〞看半小时的节目要排放3.5磅的二氧化碳。

这相当于开车3.9英里排放。

数字技术造成了4%的温室气体排放。

可知A项〔3.9英里可能会产生3.5磅的二氧化碳〕是正确。

而B项〔数字技术占用电量的4%〕是错误的。

倒数第二段“Online video use is expected to account for 80%of all internet traffic by 2022 according to CISCO. By then, about 60% of the world's population will be online.〞到2022年，在线视频的使用预计将占所有互联网流量的80%。

届时，全球约60%的人口会上网。

可知，C和D项的内容是在2022年才会发生，把未做当成已发生的。

故C和D是错误的。

故A是正确。

【10题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第四段提及这五个国家的前面内容“In the European Union, the Eureca project lead scientist, Rabih Bashroush, calculated that 5 billion downloads and streams of the song "Despacito" consumed as much electricity as the countries of Chad, Guinea-Bissau, Somalia, Sierra Leone and the Central African Republic used in a single year.〞在欧盟，欧洲经委会工程首席科学家拉比·巴什鲁什计算
出，?Despacito?歌曲的50亿次下载和流媒体消耗的电力相当于乍得、几内亚比绍、索马里、塞拉利昂和中非HY等国一年使用的电力。

由此推断出的这五个国家是来说明下载和流媒体的能耗非常高。

应选D。

【11题详解】
细节理解题。

倒数第二段提出“You're probably not going to give up your streaming services, but there are things you can do to help lessen the impact of your online use.〞你可能不会放弃流媒体效劳，但你可以做一些事情来帮助减少在线造成的影响。

接着提出四点节能源的忠告“Here are some tips: Disable auto play for video on social media.；Stream over Wi-Fi, not mobile networks；Watch on the smallest screen you can；Don’t use high-definition video on devices.〞可知，所给的四点节能的忠告为：在社交媒体上禁用视频自动播放功能；通过Wi-Fi传输，而不是挪动网络；尽量用最小的屏幕观看；不要使用高清视频设备。

由此可知B项〔关闭自动播放功能〕符合节能源的第2点的要求〔在社交媒体上禁用视频自动播放功能〕。

可知B项符合题意，应选B。

D
Picture a lecture session at a business school and your probably imagine students gazing at screens filled with equations〔方程式〕.What you might not expect is students attempting to sing “O clap your Hands〞. But Bartleby was treated to this delight on a visit to Saïd Business School in Oxford earlier this year.
There was a catch. Some of the students had to try conducting the chorus. The first to take the challenge was a rather self-c onfident young man. It didn’t take long for him to go wrong. His most obvious mistake was to start conducting without asking the singers how they would like to be directed, though they had the expertise
and he was a complete beginner.
The session, organized by Pegram Harrison, a senior fellow in entrepreneurship 〔企业家精神〕, cleverly allowed the students to absorb some important leadership lessons. For example, leaders should listen to their teams, especially when their colleagues have specialist knowledge.
Other business schools have also realized that their students can learn from the arts. At Carnegie Mellon University , Leanne Meyer has introduced a leadership-training programme that includes poetry and a book club. She believed that involvement in such pursuits can help develop empathy〔同理心〕 in future leaders and that the programme benefits students in terms of how they promote themselves to recruiters〔招聘人员〕.
The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) has trained many great dramatists. It also offers training co urses for managers. “Acting about finding the truth in the character and in yourself.〞 says Walker-Wise, one of RADA'S tutors. Being a manager involves a lot more than just setting targets. It requires empathy and a knowledge of human nature. An education in the arts might help develop those qualities. Above all, the students on Harrison's Course were experiencing something Bartleby never expected to see in those attending an MBA lecture they were having fun.
12. What does “this delight" in paragraph 1 refe r to?
A. Singing in a business class.
B. Visiting Said Business School
C. Picturing a lecture session.
D. Gazing a screens full of equations.
13. Which of the fallowing best describes the session by Pegram Harrison?
A. Common and influential.
B. Educational and effortless.
C. Challenging and instructive.
D. Controversial and practical.
14. What should a leader do based on the conducting experience?
A. Offer promotion opportunities.
B. Value team members’ opinion.
C. Set specific targets.
D. Control every step.
15. How does acting contribute to being a manager?
A. It provides entertainment.
B. It develops goal-setting skills.
C. It exposes the truth in business.
D. It helps understand human nature.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【分析】
本文为说明文。

本文通过在商学院进展的指挥表演的尝试，意识到学生可以从艺术中学到许多东西，即艺术教育可能有助于培养将来HY的同情心和对人性的理解。

【12题详解】
猜想词义题。

根据this delight前后的内容“What you might not expect is students attempting to sing “O clap your Hands〞. But Bartleby was treated to this delight on a visit to Saïd Business School in Oxford earlier this year.〞你可能想不到的是学生们会唱?拍起手来?。

但今年早些时候，巴特比在访问牛大学的赛德商学院时，却受到了这样的“this delight〞款待。

由前句“想不到学生会唱?拍手吧?〞，用一个转折连词
but来说明，巴特比在访问商学院时，却受到〔学生唱歌〕的款待。

分析选项可知A项符合题意，应选A。

【13题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第三段“The session, organized by Pegram Harrison, cleverly allowed the students to absorb some important leadership lessons. For example, leaders should listen to their teams, especially when their colleagues have specialist knowledge.〞这次会议由高级研究员佩格拉姆·哈里森组织，巧妙地让学生们学习了一些重要的指导技能的课程。

例如，指导者应该倾听团队的意见，特别是当他们的同事有专业知识时。

由此可推断出这种会议有指导性〔instructive〕。

以及最后一段“An education in the arts might help develop those qualities. Above all, the students on Harrison's Course were experiencing something Bartleby never expected to see .〞艺术教育可能有助于培养这些品质。

最重要的是，参加哈里森课程的学生们正在经历着巴特比从未料到的事情，。

由此可知，学生们正经历着巴特比从未料到的事情，可知具有挑战性〔challenging〕。

分析选项可知C项符合题意，应选C。

【14题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第二段“His most obvious mistake was to start conducting without asking the singers how they would like to be directed, though they had the expertise and he was a complete beginner.〞他最明显的错误是，在开场指挥时没有询问歌手他们希望如何被指挥，尽管他们有专业知识，而他是一个完全的新手。

以及第三段“cleverly allowed the students to absorb some important leadership lessons. For example, leaders should listen to their teams, especially when their colleagues have〞哈里森认为要让学生们学习一些重要的指导才能的课程。

例如，指导者应该倾听他们的团队，
尤其是当他们的同事有专业知识的时候。

由此可推断出基于指挥经历，指导应当重视团队成员的意见。

应选B。

【15题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第后一段中的It also offers training courses for managers. “Acting about finding the truth in the character and in yourself.〞 says Walker-Wise, one of RADA'S tutors. Being a manager involves a lot more than just setting targets. It requires empathy and a knowledge of human nature. 还为管理人员提供培训课程。

拉达的一位导师沃克·怀斯说：“表演就是在角色和自己身上找寻真相〞。

作为一名管理者，不仅仅是设定目的。

它需要同情心和对人性的理解。

由此可知，作为一为管理人员，表演有助于理解人性。

分析选项可知D项符合题意，应选D。

【点睛】推理判断试题属于高层次阅读理解题。

这种题型包括判断题和推理题。

这两类题常常互相依存，推理是为了得出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于符合逻辑的推理。

如第3小题属于推理判断题。

根据第二段“His most obvious mistake was to start conducting without asking the singers how they would like to be directed, though they had the expertise and he was a complete beginner.〞他最明显的错误是，在开场指挥时没有询问歌手他们希望如何被指挥，尽管他们有专业知识，而他是一个完全的新手。

以及第三段“cleverly allowed the students to absorb some important leadership lessons. For example, leaders should listen to their teams, especially when their colleagues have〞哈里森认为要让学生们学习一些重要的指导力课程。

例如，指导者应该倾听他们的团队，尤其是当他们的同事有专业知识的时候。

由此可推断出一个作为指导应当重视团队成员的意见。

应选B。

根据事实细节，推断合理信息。

推理题要求在理解原文外表文字信息的根底上，作出一
定判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。

推理题所涉及的内容可能是文中某一句话，也可是某几句话，但做题的指导思想都是以文字信息为根据，既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根据的推理，也不能根据外表文字信息做多步推理。

也就是说，要做到判断有据, 推论有理, 忠实原文。

切忌用自己的观点代替作者的本意，切忌片面考虑，得出片面结论。

第二节(一共5小题:每一小题2分，满分是10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

选项里面有两项为多余选项。

Today I visited San Francisco’s modern-art museum. I was there to see a new exhibit about spaceflight.____16____I like to “visit〞 this particular painting every time I go to the museum not only because it evokes〔唤起〕strong feelings, but because I always find something new.
There's real pleasure to be found in revisiting a museum replaying a game or rewatching a movie. Some of that enjoyment comes from the feeling of familiarity of course.____17____.Th ere’s always plenty more to see, hear, taste, smell, feel, of understand the second or third time around. But how do you discover the exciting new thing in the familiar?
One way is approaching whatever task is at hand by searching for the things that you didn't see in the first time around. First, recognize that everything is always changing.___18___Second, remove judgment from the experience, if possible, and just observe what's new. For example, look for the ways in which a change in your neighborhood is interesting or exciting.
___19___That could mean removing sugar, coffee, a certain kind of media from your life for a specified time. Once the break is over, that same thing will have more of its former interest or excitement._____20_____So is true that novelty is fun, but given enough of a break in between, repeated experiences regain that initial excitement.
A. Repeated experiences like this are valuable.
B. Visiting a new country brings fresh experience.
C. Coffee will never taste better if you quit it for a month.
D. But the piece of art that made me cry was a familiar one.
E. But it also comes from noticing new things in what is so familiar.
F. So the second experience is never exactly the same as the first one.
G. Another way is changing your routine and taking a break of some kind.
【答案】16. D 17. E 18. F 19. G 20. C
【解析】
本文为说明文。

本文主要说明如何让我们在熟悉的事物中寻找新的东西的方法。

【16题详解】
考察对上下文的理解及推理判断才能。

根据空前“Today I visited San Francisco’s modern-art museum. I was there to see a new exhibit about spaceflight.〞今天我参观了旧金山的现代艺术博物馆。

我在那里看了一个关于太空飞行的新展览。

尤其是空后“I like to “visit〞 this particular painting every time I go to the museum not only because it evokes〔唤起〕strong feelings〞我每次去博物馆都喜欢“参观〞这幅画，不仅因为它能唤起强烈的感情。

每次都喜欢“参观〞的艺术品，所以我对它熟悉的，对应了
D项familiar〕。

它能唤起强烈的感情〔strong feelings〕，根据常识可知，强烈的感情是哭或者笑等。

这对应了D项中的cry〔哭〕。

由此可推断出D项有词与本段复现，放入句中：但能让我哭泣的那件艺术品却是一件熟悉的艺术品。

我每次去博物馆都喜欢“参观〞这幅画，不仅因为它能唤起强烈的感情，而且因为我总能找到新的东西。

〞与句意一致，应选D。

【17题详解】
考察对上下文的理解及推理判断才能。

根据空前的“Some of that enjoyment comes from the feeling of familiarity of course.〞重游博物馆等，真是一种乐趣。

当然，其中一些乐趣来自于熟悉的感觉。

以及空后“There’s always plenty more to see, hear, taste, smell, feel, of understand the second or third time around. But how do you discover the exciting new thing in the familiar?〞可知，在熟悉的事物中还有很多东西要去看，去听，去尝，去闻，去感觉，去理解。

但是你是如何在熟悉的环境中发现令人兴奋的新事物的呢?由此可推断出熟悉的事物中也能发现新事物。

分析选项可知E〔But it also comes from noticing new things in what is so familiar〕但也来自于在如此熟悉的事物中发现新事物，可知E项符合题意，应选E。

【18题详解】
考察对上下文的理解及推理判断才能。

根据空前的“One way is approaching whatever task is at hand by searching for the things that you didn't see in the first time around. First, recognize that everything is always changing.〞一种方法是通过寻找你第一次没有看到的东西。

首先，认识到每件事都在变化。

以及空后的“remove, judgment from the experience, if possible ，and just observe what's new.〞不要用经历去判断，假如可能的话，要观察新事物。

由此可推断出，因为事物都在变化。

所以第二次去的话要找出第一次没看到的东西，能观察到新的东西，这样第二次和第一次的经历是完全不一样
的。

分析选项可知F项〔所以第二次的经历和第一次完全不一样〕符合题意，应选F。

【19题详解】
考察对上下文的理解及推理判断才能。

上一段“One way is approaching whatever task is at hand by searching for the things that you didn't see in the first time around. 〞一种方法是通过寻找你第一次没有看到的东西..那么下一段就要说明“另一种方法〞分析选项可知G项〔Another way is changing your routine and taking a break of some kind〕就有对应的“Another way〞。

本空格后“That could mean removing sugar, coffee, a certain kind of media from your life for a specified time. Once the break is over, that same thing will have more of its former interest or excitement.〞这可能意味着在一段特定的时间是让你日常生活中远离糖、咖啡和某种媒体。

一旦休息完毕，同样的事情会有更多的兴趣和刺激。

即改变你的生活方式，会有新的东西出现。

由此可知，在熟悉的事物中寻找新的东西第二种方法就是改变你的生活方式，。

分析选项可知G项〔另一种方法是改变你的生活方式，休息一下〕符合题意，应选G。
