这是一篇人物传记。

短文叙述了英国化石收藏家、商人和古生物学家玛丽·安宁的故事。

【4题详解】
推理判断题。

由第二段“Mary was born into a poor family in England on May21,1799.Only Mary and her brother Joseph grew up.Mary’s father took his children along the beach.They picked up shells and stones to sell to visitors.”可知，1799年5月21日，玛丽出生于英国一个贫穷的家庭。

玛丽的父亲经常带着他的孩子们沿着海滩走。

他们捡贝壳和石头卖给游客。

所以玛丽的父亲带孩子们去海边是为了谋生。

故选B项。

【5题详解】
推理判断题。

由倒数第二段“Scientists wrote letters and came to see
her.Mary also opened a shop to sell fossils,stones and shells.She chatted with visitors”可知，科学家写信要来拜访她。

玛丽还开了一家商店出售化石、石头和贝壳且与到访的游客聊一些关于化石的信息。

所以通过关键词“Scientists wrote letters and came to see her，She chatted with visitors”可以判断出，在那个时候她很有名，很受欢迎。

故选D项。

【6题详解】
细节理解题。

由第三段“in1811when Mary and Joseph were fossil hunting,Joseph saw a bone sticking out of the rock.”可知，1811年，当玛丽和约瑟夫在寻找化石时，约瑟夫看到一根骨头从岩石中伸出来了。

所以约瑟夫是第一个看到含有第一个完整鱼龙化石的人。

故选D项。

【7题详解】
词句猜测题。

由第四段“She liked to hunt on the beach after a storm.
The wind,rain and waves made the rocks crumble.It was easy to spot fossils.可知，暴风雨过后她喜欢在海滩上寻找化石。

风、雨、浪使岩石变得碎裂，很容易发现化石。

所以通过上下文语境可以判断出第四段加下划线的“crumble”是break“破裂”的意思。

故选A项。

C
The Ig Nobel awards are usually known as the"Igs"and are given out every year at around the same time as the real Nobel awards.The "Igs"are given for achievements that"make people laugh,and then make them think".The name"Ig Nobel"is a language joke."Nobel" sounds like"noble"--meaning"very honored".And Ig Nobel sounds like
"ignoble"meaning the opposite of noble---that is,"not honored,."
According to Marc Abrahars,who co-founded the award in1991, "Most prizes,such as Nobel Prize,reward the goodness of the people who receive them.These prizes are meant to honor the extremes of humanity-those whose achievements should be seen as very good."
"The Ig Nobel Prize isn’t like that.The Ig honors the great confusion in which most of us exist much of the time.Life is confusing.Good and bad get all mixed up.If you win an Ig,it shows that you have done something.What that thing is may be hard to explain.But the fact is, you did it,and have been recognized for doing it."
The Nobel science prizes encourage us to think that all over the world great discoveries are being made that will do good to the whole world.But real science is not like that.The main job of science is to find out what is not true.This leads people into areas of research that seem completely senseless.Why did a team of Japanese scientists spend months trying to teach birds to enjoy the paintings of Picasso?Why did a Norwegian biologist start a project to encourage insects to drink beer? It is hard to say.But it won them all an Ig.
Sometimes science tells us things that we don’t want or need to know.We don’t want to know that falling in love and going mad are exactly the same as far as the brain is concerned.And we don’t really need to know that worrying about money can cause tooth disease.
Only the Ig award brought these great achievements to our attention.
8.What does the underlined word"that"in the3rd paragraph refer to?
A.The prize meaning noble and honored.
B.The owners who are rare and talented.
C.The achievement seen as very good.
D.The biggest confusion in our life.
9.What’s the author’s attitude to Ig Nobel awards?
A.He thinks it’s a foolish award.
B.He believes it’s a funny joke.
C.He disapproves of its purpose.
D.He approves of its ideas.
10.Why are there researches that seem completely senseless?
A.People need to make great discoveries.
B.People are encouraged by the great honor
C.People love both birds and Picasso’s works.
D.People want to know about the truth in life.
11.The main difference between the Ig Nobel awards and the Nobel prize lies in________.
A.how science should be made use of
B.how science should be thought of
C.how science should be developed
D.how science should be studied

这是一篇说明文。

短文介绍了搞笑诺贝尔奖的相关的信息，包括它的意义，创立的时间，创建者，这个奖项颁给哪些人以及和真正的诺贝尔奖的区别。

【8题详解】
词句猜测题。

由第二段和第三段“These prizes are meant to honor the extremes of humanity-those whose achievements should be seen as very good."The Ig Nobel Prize isn’t like that.”可知，这些奖项是为了表彰那些为人类做出奉献的人——他们成就应该被视为人类的精华。

搞笑诺贝尔奖不是这样的。

所以通过上下文的语境可以判断出，第三段加下划线的“that”是指被认为优秀的成就。

故选C项。

【9题详解】
推理判断题。

由最后段“Only the Ig award brought these great achievements to our attention”可知，只有搞笑诺贝尔奖让我们注意到了这些伟大的成就。

所以通过关键词“only，great achievements”可以判断出，作者对搞笑诺贝尔奖持支持的态度。

故选D项。

【10题详解】
细节理解题。

由倒数第二段“But real science is not like that.The main job of science is to find out what is not true.This leads people into areas of research that seem completely senseless”可知，但真正的科
学不是这样的。

科学的主要任务是找出什么是不正确的。

这导致人们进入了一些看起来毫无意义的研究领域。

所以为什么有些研究看起来毫无意义是因为人们想知道生活中的真相，而不是想知道全世界都在进行着伟大的发现。

故选D项。

【11题详解】
推理判断题。

由倒数第二段“The Nobel science prizes encourage us to think that all over the world great discoveries are being made that will do good to the whole world.But real science is not like that.The main job of science is to find out what is not true.”可知，诺贝尔科学奖鼓励我们这样想:全世界都在进行着伟大的发现，这些发现造福于全世界。

所以通过诺贝尔将和搞笑诺贝尔将所关注的不同方面可以判断出，搞笑诺贝尔奖和诺贝尔奖的主要区别在于如何看待科学。

故选B项。

D
If you live in Shanghai,you might have to take a"lesson"in sorting garbage,as the city recently introduced new garbage-sorting regulations.It’s now required that people should sort garbage into four categories,namely recyclable,harmful,dry and wet waste.However,if people fail to sort their garbage properly,they can be fined up to200 yuan.More cities are introducing similar regulations,following the practice in Shanghai.By the end of2020,garbage-sorting systems will have been built in46major Chinese cities,including Beijing and Shenzhen,reported People’s Daily.
According to a study by the Policy Research Center for Environment and Economy,under the Ministry of Ecology and Environment,over90percent of the public believe that garbage sorting is important for the protection of the environment.However,garbage sorting is still a big problem in China.Only30percent of participants said they think they are adequately sorting their trash,the study noted.
According to Xinhua News Agency,it’s partly because many people lack the willingness to sort their own waste.In the past,some previous garbage regulations didn’t give clear fines for people who failed to sort garbage."It’s a must to have a legal guarantee to promote garbage sorting."Liu Jianguo,a professor from Tsinghua University,told China Daily.He also added"the importance of the new regulations in Shanghai is to change the past voluntary action into compulsory action for everyone"
Aside from China,many other foreign countries have also introduced garbage-sorting regulations.In Japan,waste sorting has become a basic survival skill,reported Xinhua.There is a fixed time for disposal of each kind of garbage and littering can result in high fines and even jail time.In Germany too,people are asked to sort waste into specific categories,reported HuffPost.For example,in Berlin,people have yellow bins for plastic and metals and blue bins for paper and cardboard.
12.What can we learn from paragraph1?
A.Poisonous waste belongs to four categories in sorting.
B.People will be fined not less than200yuan.
C.All the cities use the same regulations as Shanghai.
D.Shanghai works as a pioneer in garbage sorting.
13.Which statement is true according to the passage?
A.Garbage-sorting system have been built in46major cities.
B.Not all the public attach importance to garbage sorting.
C.People aren’t fined clearly if they fail to sort garbage now.
D.People may be put in prison because of littering in Germany.
14.What can be inferred from Liu Jianguo’s words?
A.He thinks highly of the legal regulations in garbage sorting.
B.The sorting action should be changed from compulsory to voluntary.
C.Legal guarantee is a must to promote garbage sorting.
D.There is a growing concern over garbage sorting worldwide.
15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Shanghai Puts Garbage-sorting Into Practice
B.Regulations Are of Great Importance
C.Garbage Is Hard to Recycle Appropriately
D.Cities Get Serious About Waste

【文章大意】
这是一篇新闻报道。

上海市正式实施《上海市生活垃圾管理条例》，至今已经如火如荼地开展一段时间了，之后北京等46个重点城市也即将加入垃圾分类的行列。

【12题详解】
推理判断题。

由第一段“If you live in Shanghai,you might have to take a"lesson"in sorting garbage,as the city recently introduced new garbage-sorting regulations.It’s now required that people should sort garbage into four categories,namely recyclable,harmful,dry and wet waste.However,if people fail to sort their garbage properly,they can be fined up to200yuan”可知，如果你生活在上海，你或许得上“一堂垃圾分类课”，因为该市近期出台了全新的垃圾分类条例。

如今，人们需要将垃圾分成“可回收物、有害垃圾、干垃圾、湿垃圾”四大类。

混合投放垃圾最高可要处以200元罚款。

所以我们能从第一段中学到上海是垃圾分类的先驱。

故D项。

【13题详解】
细节理解题。

由第二段“over90percent of the public believe that garbage sorting is important for the protection of the environment”
可知，超过90%的大众认为垃圾分类对环境保护是重要的。

所以B选项“并不是所有的公众都重视垃圾分类”正确。

故选B项。

【14题详解】
推理判断题。

由倒数第二段“He also added"the importance of the new regulations in Shanghai is to change the past voluntary action into compulsory action for everyone”可知，上海这项新条例的重要之处在于将过去的自愿行为变为每个人的必修课。

所以从刘建国的话中我们可以推断出，他高度评价了垃圾分类的法律规定。

故选A项。

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。

由第一段“If you live in Shanghai,you might have to take a"lesson"in sorting garbage,as the city recently introduced new garbage-sorting regulations.By the end of2020,garbage-sorting systems will have been built in46major Chinese cities,including Beijing and Shenzhen,reported People’s Daily”可知，上海市正式实施《上海市生活垃圾管理条例》，至今已经如火如荼地开展一段时间了，之后北京等46个重点城市也即将加入垃圾分类的行列。

所以短文的最佳标题为“上海垃圾分类时代已至，其他城市还远吗”。

故选D项。

【答案】
CEAFD
【文章大意】
这是一篇说明文。

短文介绍了英国和美国的风俗习惯。

【16题详解】
由“We all know that Britain and the US are two countries connected by a common language.But in fact,___16___.as BBC did in a recent story called8Situations When Britons Behave Differently From Americans”可知，众所周知，英国与美国因为使用同一种语言而有诸多相似之处。

近日，BBC就刊登了一篇文章，题为“八种情境：英美人的不同表现”。

所以小题1既要与上文为转折关系，又要承接下文。

故C选项“探寻英美文化间的差异更加有趣”切题。

故选C项。

【17题详解】
由“chances are that the victim will say"sorry"before the other can make his or her own apology.”可知，他们则很可能会在撞人者开口道歉之前先说“对不起”。

所以小题2是条件状语从句的从句，说明如果被撞的
碰巧是英国人，他们则很可能会在撞人者开口道歉之前先说“对不起”。

且话题一致。

故E选项“如果被撞的碰巧是英国人”切题。

故选E项。

【18题详解】
由“Britons don’t all change into evening dress for supper like what you may have seen in popular TV shows like Downton Abbey.But they do tend to make an effort when going out for dinner somewhere nice.Americans,however,will probably wear a casual shirt to a fancy eatery.”可知，享用晚餐时，英国人虽然不会像热门英剧《唐顿庄园》中那样人人身着晚礼服，但在去高级餐厅就餐时也会在穿着上颇下一番功夫。

而美国人则可能穿一件休闲衬衫就出入高级餐馆。

所以本段主要在说晚宴穿什么也就是小题3本段的标题所要说明的内容。

故A选线“晚宴穿什么”切题。

故选A项。

【19题详解】
由“When dining out at a restaurant,______They think the food is somehow"tainted"once they’ve poked at it with a knife and fork.”
可知，外出就餐时，因为在他们看来食物一旦被刀叉“染指”后便被“玷污”
了。

所以小题4要补充出时间状语从句的主句，也要承接下文。

故F选项“英国人不会将剩饭剩菜打包带走”切题。

故选F项。

【20题详解】
由“Even if they’re being taken in a roundabout way”可知，甚至在看见司机绕路时。

所以该小题要补充是让步状语从句的主句，说明甚至在看见司机绕路时，会怎么办。

故D选项“他们也会一言不发”切题。

故选D
项。

27.A.opened B.offered C.delivered D. lent
28.A.enjoyed B.minded C.avoided D. hated
29.A.worried B.impressed C.reminded D. alarmed
