自然和谐共处的意义。8.细节理解题。根据第一段第三句话―Theymigratetofindfood,seekapartner,orinsearchofwarmerweather.‖可知,动物迁徙的目的中本文并没有提及―tobree

dyoungbabies‖(繁衍幼虫)这一项。故选C项。9.细节理解题。根据第四段第三句―Sadly,humanactivityisthemainreasonwhythenumberofmonarchbutterfliesisfalling.‖可知,人类活动是导致帝王蝶数量减少的主要原

因。故选B项。10.细节理解题。根据第三段第二句―Theyhavefoundoutthatthemonarchisabletotellthetimeofday.‖可知,科研人员发现帝王蝶是有辨别时间的能力的。故选B项。

11.推理判断题.根据最后一段中Ifthisworks,theremaycomeatimewhenthenumberofmonarchbutterfliesincreasesonceagain.Themoreweknowaboutthislovelycreature,thegreatert

hechanceitwillsurviveandkeepitsplaceinthenaturalworldforalongtimetocome.(如果这种方法有效的话,也许有一天帝王蝶的数量会再次增加。我们对这种可爱

的生物了解得越多,它存活下来并在未来很长一段时间内保持其在自然界地位的机会就越大。)可知,这个研究使得人们提高了对帝王蝶这一生物的重视并作出共同努力,从而使得人们有望再次见到帝王蝶数量的增长,这种结果无疑是使人感到振奋、鼓舞的。故选A项。(2020届河

字符号的塑料瓶回收的成本也不同,有些可以回收,有些应该停止制造。8.细节理解题。根据第二段It’snotthatconsumersaren’tmotivatedtorecycleorthattheydon’thavereadyacce

sstorecyclingprograms;theUnitedStatessimplydoesn’thavetheproperfacilities(这并不是说消费者没有回收利用的动机,也不是说他们没有现成的回收利用的途径;美国就是没有适当

的设施)可知,美国所遇到的问题没有适当的设施,故选D。9.推理判断题。根据―Ofallthewasteproducedin2017,only8.4%ofiteventuallygotrecycled.…theUnitedStatessimplydoesn’thavethep

roperfacilities(设施),‖saidJohnHocevar,amarinebiologistwithGreenpeaceUSA.(―在2017年产生的所有垃圾中,只有8.4%最终得到回收利用。…美国就是没有适

当的设施。‖美国绿色和平组织的海洋生物学家JohnHocevar说,)可知,JohnHocevar对美国塑料回收不满意,故选C。10.细节理解题。根据第五段Numbers1and2arerelativelyrecyclable.Rec

yclinggetsmoredifficultwithhighernumbers,called―mixedplastic‖.(数字1和2是相对可回收的。塑料的数量越高,回收就越困难,被称为混合塑料。)可知,塑料瓶上的数字代表了回收难度,故选A。11.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段Hocevarc

ameupwithadifferentsolution:―Thereallysimpleansweristhatwehavetostopmakingsomuchthrowawayplastic.‖(Hocevar想出了一个不同的解

决方案:―真正简单的答案是我们必须停止制造这么多的一次性塑料。‖)可知,按照Hocevar所说,对于无法回收的混合塑料,我们应该减少生产,故选D。(2020届河南省濮阳市高三第二次模拟)Sometimes,youjustcan’tsaynotoanotherspoonfuloficec

,它是与我们对食物或药物的渴望有关的化学物质。12.词义猜测题。根据划线词前面的Andthatcircuitalwayssaysyes.可知,它总是说同意;根据划线词后面的itispossiblethatwemightbeabletodevelopcuresforovereatingth

athelppeoplesticktoadietwithoutreducingnormalappetiteormakingdeliciousfoodslikedonutslessdelicious.可知,

我们有可能开发出治疗暴饮暴食的方法,这个方法能帮助人们在不降低正常食欲的情况下坚持节食,或是让甜甜圈这样的美味食物变得不那么美味。由此可以推理出,是控制大脑中的那个回答,来研发出方法。因此下划线单词manipulating意为―操作、控

制‖,结合选项,选B。13.细节理解题。根据第五段Hitthatlevertooearly—asimpatienttestsubjectsoccasionallydid—andthecounterwoulds

tartfromscratch.Lever-happyratswouldhavetowaitanothercyclebeforethefoodbecameavailableagain.就像不耐烦的受试者偶尔做的那样,太早按杠杆,计时器会

从头开始。在食物再次供应之前,快乐的老鼠将不得不等待另一个循环。由此可以看出,当老鼠在规定时间之前按下杠杆时,食物出现需要更长的时间。故选C。14.推理判断题。根据导数第二段Theirimpulsiveness,however,rosesharpl

ywhenscientistsgavetheratsMCH.Theseanimalsbecomemoreimpulsive.MCH,itseemed,couldtalkratsintolooseningitsinhibitions(拘束).可知,然而,当科学家给

老鼠MCH时,他们的冲动急剧上升。MCH似乎能让老鼠放松抑制。由此可以看出,研究者的实验是为了了解MCH对动物的影响。故选A。15.主旨大意题。根据第一段Sometimes,youjustcan’tsaynotoanotherspoonfuloficecreaman

dmaybeonemoreafterthat.可知,有时,你拒绝不了另一勺冰激凌或者再来一个;根据第三段Accordingtoanewstudy,thisimpulse(冲动)controlmaycomedowntoaveryspec

ificcircuit(回答)inthebrainwhichoccasionallyproducesmelanin-concentratinghormone,orMCH—achemicallinkedwithourdesireforfoodordru

gs.可知据最新研究显示,这种冲动控制可以归结为大脑中的一个很特别的回答,它偶尔会产生的黑色素浓缩激素,或者称MCH,它是与我们对食物或药物的渴望有关的化学物质。由此可以看出,文章研究的是―你为什么总要多吃一口‖现象,故选D。(2020届河南省郑州市第三次质量预测)Almoste

测题。根据划线词后的thewindswoulddrop.Butwhyisitoftensocalmbeforeastorm?可知,风也会减弱,为什么暴风雨前总是那么平静呢?这说明在某些暴风雨来临之前,海水是静止的。由此可知划线词意为―静止的‖,故C项正确。9

.推理判断题。通读全文,特别是根据第二段中的Butwhyisitoftensocalmbeforeastorm?及第三段中的Sciencehasgivenustheanswer.可知,为什么暴风雨来临前总是很平静呢?科学家们给出了答案。由此可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是

从科学角度解释暴风雨前的平静,故B项正确。10.细节理解题。根据第五段中的First,counthowmanysecondstherearebetweenaflashoflightningandaclapofthunder.Roughly3seco

ndsequal1kilometer.可知,首先,数一数闪电和雷声之间有多少秒,大约3秒等于1公里。由此可知,如果闪电和雷声之间有15秒的间隔,暴风雨还有大约5公里,故B项正确。11.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的However,duetothec

omplexityofstormsystem,notallstormsbreakaftercalm.可知,然而,由于风暴系统的复杂性,并不是所有的暴风雨都会在平静之后爆发,故A项正确。(2020届河南省郑州市第三次质量预测)

.【答案】12.A13.D14.C15.B【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了雨林火灾造成严重的后果以及保护亚马逊雨林的紧急性。12.主旨大意题。根据第二段第三句―Thevastareaofrainforestplaysanimpo

rtantroleintheworld'secosystembecauseitabsorbsheatinsteadofreflectingheatbackintotheatmosphere.‖可知,广袤的雨林在世界生态系统中扮演着重要的角

色,因为它吸收热量,而不是将热量反射回大气。再结合第二段内容可知,第二段主要讲亚马逊雨林的巨大作用。故选A项。13.推理判断题。根据第四段中的―WeestimatethattheforestareasintheBrazilianAmazonhavedecreasedsometh

ingbetween20and30percentcomparedtothelast12months‖可知,CarlosNobre说:―我们估计巴西亚马逊河流域的森林面积比过去12个月减少了20%到30%‖。再根据第三段最后

一句中的―TheAmazonmustbeprotected‖可推知,作者提到第四段中的数字是为了说明保护雨林的紧急性。故选D项。14.主旨大意题。根据全文内容尤其最后一段―Brazilownsabout60percentoftheAmazonr

ainforest,whosedegradation(恶化)couldhavesevereconsequencesforglobalclimateandrainfall.Theextentofthearearuinedbyfireshasyettobed

etermined,buttheemergencyhasgonebeyondBrazil'sborders.‖可知,巴西拥有大约60%的亚马逊雨林,其恶化可能对全球气候和降雨的后果严重。火灾毁坏的地区范围尚未确定,但紧急情况已经超出了巴西

的边界。由此可推知,作者旨在告诉我们,雨林火灾造成严重的后果。故选C项。15.推理判断题。根据第一段中的―theywillworsenclimatechangecrisisandendangerbiodiversity‖和第二段中的―Thev

astareaofrainforestplaysanimportantroleintheworld'secosystem‖并结合全文内容可知,本文讲述的是关于自然和地理的知识,所以本文最有可能摘自报纸的自然地理部分

hersisworkingwithgoodandoutstandingschoolsinWalthamForestthatarelookingforenthusiasticandexcellentEnglishteachers.(ReedEducationTeachers正在与Wa

lthamForest的优秀学校合作,寻找热情又优秀的英语教师。)可知ReedEducationTeachers做这个广告的目的是寻找一些优秀的英语教师。故选B项。2.细节理解题。根据―Youwillbe:‖段中的Able

tobuildacloserelationshipwithcolleaguesandworkwithinateameffectively(能够与同事建立密切关系,并在团队内有效工作)可知得到这份工作的人必须有团队精神。故选A项。3.细节理解题。根据第一段中的ReedE

ducationTeachersisworkingwithgoodandoutstandingschoolsinWalthamForest(ReedEducationTeachers正在与WalthamForest的优秀学校合作)可知此则广告中的―Theschools

‖指的是WalthamForest的优秀学校。再根据―Theschools:‖段中的Enthusiasticaboutsupportingnewstaffintheircareermove(积极支持新员工的职业发展)可知WalthamForest的优秀学校帮助新教师更好

14.B15.C【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们为什么参加志愿服务工作以及是什么鼓励志愿者继续他们的志愿工作。12.细节理解题。根据第二段中的Researchershaveidentifiedseveralfactorsth

atmotivatepeopletogetinvolved.Forexample,peoplevolunteertoexpresspersonalvaluesrelatedtounselfishness,toexpandtheirrangeofexperiences

,andtostrengthensocialrelationships.Ifvolunteerpositionsdonotmeettheseneeds,peoplemaynotwishtoparticipate.可知,研究人员已经确定了一些鼓励人们参加志愿服务因素,例如

,表达与无私有关的个人价值观,扩大他们的经验范围,以及加强社会关系等,如果做志愿者不能满足这些需求,人们可能不愿意参加,再结合第三段中的shiftpeople’swishofparticipationfromaninter

nalfactortoanexternalfactor可知,人们做志愿服务主要是出于内心的需求。故D项正确。13.主旨大意题。根据第三段内容,特别是根据Peoplealsovolunteerbecausetheyarerequire

dtodoso.及theseprogramscanshiftpeople’swishofparticipationfromaninternalfactortoanexternalfactor.Whenthathappens,peoplebecomelesslikelytovolunteer

inthefuture.可知,被要求成为志愿者会把人们的参与意愿从内在因素转变为外在因素,这样他们以后就不太可能成为志愿者。由此可知,本段主要是告诉我们被要求成为志愿者可能会让人们不愿意做志愿服务。故C项正确。14.

推理判断题。根据第四段中的Forinstance,onestudyfollowed238volunteersinFloridaoverayear.Oneofthemostimportantfactor

sthatinfluencedtheirsatisfactionasvolunteerswastheamountofsufferingtheyexperiencedintheirvolunteerpositions.及Theresearchersnotethatattentionshouldbeg

ivento―trainingmethodsthatwouldpreparevolunteersfortroublesomesituationsorprovidethemwithstrategiesforcopingwiththeproblemthey

doexperience‖.可知,例如,佛罗里达州的一项研究对238名志愿者进行了长达一年的跟踪调查,发现影响他们作为志愿者满意度的最重要因素之一是他们在志愿者岗位上所经历的痛苦,研究人员指出,应注意培训方

法,让志愿者为遇到麻烦的情况做好准备,或者为他们提供应对他们所经历的问题的策略。由此可知,佛罗里达的研究表明志愿者应该从心理上为工作中遇到的困难做好准备。故B项正确。15.细节理解题。根据最后一段中的A

们发现那些以志愿者的角色作为个人身份的人也最有可能继续从事志愿工作。由此可知,作为志愿者的角色认同最有可能激励志愿者继续他们的志愿工作,故C项正确。(2020届江西省赣州市高三二模)ResearchersinJapanha

日本的研究人员在火车上安装扬声器,发出像狗一样吠叫、像鹿一样短而尖锐的声音。这样鹿感觉到危险时,就会惊慌地逃离。8.细节理解题。根据第三段中―Deerareattractedtorailwaylinesbecauseofane

edforironintheirdiets.Theylick(舔)therailstopickupironfilingscausedbytheactionofwheelsagainsttracks(鹿被铁路线吸引是因为它们的饮食需要铁。它们舔那些

由于车轮与轨道的作用而产生的铁屑。)‖可知,鹿被吸引到铁轨,是因为它们要从铁轨上获取铁这种营养素。故选B项。9.细节理解题。根据第三段中―Inthepast,flashingredlightsandevenlionfaceshavebeenu

nsuccessfullytrialedinanattempttokeepdeeroffthetracks.‖可知,日本尝试过用狮子脸的画来让鹿远离铁轨,但是没有成功。故选C项。10.推理判断题。根据第四

段中―RTRIofficialsexplainthatdeerhaveahabitofrepeatedlysnortingshort,shrillsoundstowarnotherdeerwhentheysensedanger.…Whenthedeerhearacombinationofa

3-second-longrecordingofadeer’ssnortand20secondsofabarkingdog,theypanicandfleerapidly.(RTRI的官员解释说,鹿有一种习惯,当它们感觉到危

险时,会不断地用短而尖锐的声音来警告其他鹿。……当鹿听到3秒钟的鹿发出的声音和20秒的狗叫声时,它们会惊慌并迅速逃离。)‖,因此可以推断,研究人员在火车上安装扬声器,是从鹿的习性中获得灵感。故选A项。11.主旨大意题。文章第

一段是全文的主题段―ResearchersinJapanhaveinstalled(安装)onatrainaspeakerthatbarkslikeadogandsnortslikeadeerinordertopreventcollisionswithanimalsonthe

tracks.(日本的研究人员在火车上安装扬声器,发出的声音像狗一样吠叫和像鹿一样发出的声音,是为了防止动物撞上铁轨。)‖,下文说明发明这种扬声器的原因和它的功效。因此文章是介绍了让鹿远离铁轨的一项发明。故选D项。(2020届江西省赣州市高三二模)Bei

与人类关系不密切的动物。这样一来,这些测试对象就没有理由会有过去识别人脸的历史。所以他们选择了射水鱼,这是一种礁石鱼的品种,会向空中射水,把猎物打到天上去。由此可知,选择射水鱼作为实验对象是因为他们和人类关系不是很密切。故选C。14.推理

判断题。根据最后一段中Butmoreworkneedstobeconductedtofindadeeperlinktothispossiblelearnedbehavior.Thesamplesizeofthisstudywasverysma

白色女性面孔,以正面视图显示,没有表情。其他的动物实验表明,一些物种,比如鸽子,对不同的角度和不同的表达有更多的反应。由此可推知,作者对这项研究持谨慎态度。故选A。15.推理判断题。根据最后一段中Thesamplesizeofthisstudywasvery

small—onlyeightfishwereusedaltogether.可知这项研究的样本量非常小——总共只使用了8条鱼。由此可推知,文章建议今后开展类似的研究时,应注意―包括更多的测试对象‖。故选A。(2020届江西省南昌市高三二模)We'veallspenttimeinahospita

akealistofyourfailures,whetherit’sschoolsthatrejectedyou,projectsthatfailed,orgoalsyoudidn’tquiteachieve.可知,在你选择的格式中,列出你的失败,不管是学校拒绝了你,项目失败了,还是

案】4.C5.C6.A7.B【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了第二届爱丁堡科学节的相关信息。4.细节理解题。根据第一段―Festivalsareaboutfuninlargehelpings(一份食物),andscience

festivalsshouldbenoexceptionThereshouldbeplentyofitatthesecondEdinburghScienceFestival‖可知,节日充满了关于食物的乐趣,科学节也不例外,在第二届爱丁堡科学节上应该有很多这样的关于食物的乐趣。

所以第二届爱丁堡科学节上有很多关于食物的乐趣。故选C项。5.细节理解题。根据第二段―NotriptoScotlandwouldbecompletewithoutatriptoadistillery(酿酒厂)toseehowthe"wateroflife"ismade.‖可知,没有去酿酒厂看看

―生命之水‖是如何制造的,去苏格兰的旅行就是不完整的。所以作者强烈建议去苏格兰旅行去参观生产酒的工厂。故选C。6.细节理解题。根据第三段―butroomisunavailableheretolisttheentireprogramme‖可知,但这里没有空间列出整个项目。所以为什

么我们找不到关于整个高科技计划的信息是因为信息太多了,无法一一列举。故选A项。7.主旨大意题。根据最后一段―Theprogrammeofthefestivaliswellarrangedandsubdivided,makingiteasytopickoutinterest

ingeventstosuityourtastes,whatevertheymaybe.Venuesandthetargetaudience(children,adultsorspecialists)areallclearlyc

odedandthemapspostedalongtheroadshouldmakeiteasytogetaround.‖可知,节日的日程安排得很好,也很细致,很容易挑选出适合自己口味的有趣的活动,不管它

们是什么。场地和目标观众(儿童、成人或专业人士)都有清晰的编码,路边张贴的地图应该让人们更容易参观。所以最后一段告诉我们,游客在节日期间的参观是很方便的。故选B项。(2020届山西省晋中市高三一模)Ifweplantedalotmoretreesinjustt

eauthor’sattitudetowardstheresearchresult?A.Disapproving.B.Doubtful.C.Supportive.D.Objective.【答案】8.C9.A10.D11.D【解析】这是一篇说明文。瑞士联邦理工学院的生态学家Bastin和他的团

队在检查了来自地球各地的7万多张高质量的树木卫星照片后得出结论:地球可以再支持9亿公顷的树木覆盖。如果我们在适当的地方种植更多的树木,就可以将大气中的碳含量降低到20世纪20年代以来从未见过的水平。文章对该研究和研究结论进行了说明。8.细节理解题。根

据第二段中的Bastinandhiscolleaguesdevelopedacomputerprogramthatestimateshowmuchforestedlandcouldberestoredbothnowandinafuturewarmer

world.可知,Bastin和他的同事开发了一种计算机程序,该程序可以估计在现在和未来变暖的世界中可以恢复多少林地。C选项(评估潜在的林地)表达此意,故选C。9.词句猜测题。根据下文中的Theycounte

deverytreeineveryphototoassessthecurrenttreecoverageinnaturalenvironments.可知,科学家们他们计算了每张照片中的每棵树,以评估自

然环境中树木的覆盖率。由此推知,科学家们首先是对这些照片进行―梳理,研究‖,然后再进行计算。且该语境和第一段中的第三行中的―examiningmorethan70,000high-qualitysatellitephotosoftrees

‖一致,因此划线词组和examine的意思相近。故划线词组的意思应为―梳理,研究,检查‖之类的意思。故选A。10.推理判断题。根据最后一段Eveniftreesareplantedinthemostmindfulway,other

actionsarestillneededtofightclimatechange,Bastinsaid.可知,Basin认为即使以最谨慎的方式种植树木,仍然需要采取其他行动来应对气候变化。由此推知,其他行动和种树一样重要。故选D。11.推理判断题。文章中作者只是对该研究结果进行了客观陈述,并未

表达个人看法。由此可知,作者对该研究结果的态度是―客观的‖。故选D。(2020届山西省晋中市高三一模)Guiltisoneofthemostpainfulemotionsthathumansexperiencebutalsooneofthemostcommon.Nobodyenjoysfeelin

DifferentKindsofGuiltD.HowtoDealwithFalseGuilt【答案】12.C13.A14.D15.B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了对于内疚的正确认识及其积极利用。12.细节理解题。根据第一段中的―Italerts(使警觉)aper

sonwhenheorshehasdonesomethingwrong.‖可知,内疚感会提醒人们做错了事。即C项(它可以警告人们犯了错误。)是正确的。故选C。13.推理判断题。根据第三段中的―somepeopl

emayexperiencefalseguiltbecauseofexcessivelyhighexpectationsforthemselvesthattheycannotliveupto.‖可知,某些人可能会因过高的期

望无法实现而产生的错误的内疚感。即有些人会产生这种内疚感是因为情况超出了他们的能力范围。故选A。14.细节理解题。根据第五段―It’spossiblethatyoufeelguiltybecauseyouactuallydidso

methingwrong-ordidn’tdosomethingyoushouldhave.Ifso,don’ttrytohideit.Apologizeandaskforforgiveness.Learnfromyou

rmistakes,andtrytoavoidcommittingthesameactsagain.Makingupwiththepersonyouhurtshouldmakeyourguiltyfeelingsfade.‖可知,你可能会因为自己实际上做错了或没有做应做的事情而感到

内疚。如果是这样的话,请不要隐藏。向对方道歉并请求原谅。从错误中吸取教训,并尝试避免再次犯同样的错误。与受伤的人和好应该会使你的内疚感消失。即人们在做错事时,应该承认错误并做出弥补。故选D。15.标题判断题。通读全文尤其是最后一段―

Guiltispainful,butitcanserveagoodpurposeifyouuseitwell.‖内疚是痛苦的,但如果你好好利用它,它可以起到很好的作用。所以本文主要论述了对于内疚的正确认识及其积极利用,故B项―内

疚的积极作用‖作为标题最为合适。A项―一种普遍的痛苦情绪‖属于主题扩大,超出了文章真正表达的内容。C项―内疚的不同类型‖属于以偏概全,这只是文章的部分信息。D项―如何处理虚假内疚‖属于以偏概全,这只是文章的局部内容。故选B。(2020届山西省太原市高三二模)Somepsycholo

说明文。一些心理学家说,社区艺术——在特定社区免费展示的艺术——可以产生很大的不同:社区艺术可以把人们团结在一起,可以打开人们的心扉,还可以促进企业的发展。在英国,社区艺术得到了政府的支持。4.细节理解题。根据第二段中的―Theaimofthisprojectistoreduceth

ementalillnessandpromoteanewdialogueaboutpeoplewhostrugglewiththeseissues.‖可知这个项目的目标是减少精神疾病,并促进一个新的关于和精神疾病做斗争的人们的对话。选B项、5.细节理解题。根据第三段―Artalsomakesne

ighborhoodsmoreattractiveandhasauniqueabilitytoopenpeopleup.Neighborscansharecommentswithoneanotheraboutarecentlypai

ntedmural,whichcanchallengetheirprejudicesandopentheireyestotheworld.‖可知艺术还能让社区更有吸引力,并且有一种独特的能力让人们敞开心扉。邻

居们可以互相分享对一幅最近绘制的壁画的看法,这幅壁画可以挑战他们的偏见,开阔他们的眼界。也就是社区通过提供一个共同话题来帮助人们打开心扉。选C项。6.推理判断题。根据―InFortSmith,a...Themoneytheysp

entwhilevisitingthetownbenefitedlocalbusinesses.‖在美国阿肯色州的史密斯堡镇,来自世界各地的艺术家们聚集在一起绘制壁画。该项目的目标之一是扩大该镇的文化服务,以吸引更多的游客。当地人和游客都被吸引去看这些

壁画。他们游玩该镇所花的钱使当地的企业受益。文章通过举这个小镇的例子表明了这些小镇可以通过艺术获得经济上的利益。选A项。7.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的―Generousfinancialsupportisprovidedforcommunityartprojectsinmanycitiesa

ndtowns.IntheUK,theArtsCouncilEnglandhasinvestednearlyhalfamilliondollarsincommunityart.‖可知许多城镇为社区艺术项目提供了慷慨的财政支持。在英国,英国艺术委员会已经为社区艺术投资了近50万美元。由此可知英国的

社区艺术得到了政府的支持。选B项。(2020届山西省运城市高三调研)ItisfashionabletodaytocriticizeBigBusiness,andthereisoneissueonwhichthemanycriti

hallengesofTodayD.CEOTraits:NotEasytoDefine【答案】12.C13.D14.C15.A【解析】本文是说明文。文章分析了CEO的薪酬高的原因和如今面临的挑战,说明CEO高工资是合乎情理的。12.细节理解题。根据第四段的Thebestmodelforun

derstandingthegrowthofCEOpay,though,isthatoflimitedCEOtalentinaworldwherebusinessopportunitiesforthetopfirmsaregrowingrapidly.

(然而,了解CEO薪酬增长的最佳模式是,在一个顶级公司的商业机会正在迅速增长的世界中,CEO人才有限。)可知,增加了顶级公司的商业机会,促进了CEO薪酬的增加。故选C。13.推理判断题。根据第六段的Thenthere’st

hefactthatlargeAmericancompaniesaremuchmoreglobalizedthaneverbefore,withsupplychainsspreadacrossalargernumberofcountries.

Toleadinthatsystemrequiresknowledgethatisfairlyincredible.(还有一个事实是,美国的大公司比以往任何时候都更加全球化,供应链遍布更多的国家。领导这个系统需要相当不可思议的知识。)可推断,今天的CEO需要经营更多的

全球化公司。故选D。14.词句猜测题。根据上文Theyalsoneedbetterpublicrelationsskillsthantheirpredecessors(他们还需要比他们的前任更好的公共关系技能),结合as引导原因状语从句,说明主句的原因可推断

,划线句表达的意思是:因为即使是轻微失误的代价也会造成不良后果。故划线词与mistakes意思一致。故选C。15.主旨大意题。根据文章第一段提出CEO薪酬高是热门话题,二到五段分析了CEO高薪酬的原因,说明首席执行官薪酬的决定因素并不

那么神秘,也不那么陷入腐败。事实上,整体CEO的薪酬几乎符合这些公司在股票市场上的价值;六到八段分析了今天的CEO面临的挑战,因此推断文章主要讲述首席执行官的薪酬是合理的。故A项―CEO没有被给予过高的薪酬‖为最佳标题。故选A。(2020届四

望让宇航员们在太空吃上披萨。8.推理判断题。根据第一段Whileastronautsinspacegettodomanyexcitingthings,theymissoutonordinarythingsthatwe

sttwothings,theremaysoonbeasolutiontothethirdone,thankstothiscool3-Dpizzaprinter!可知,当宇航员在太空中做许多令人兴奋的事情时,他们错过了一些我们都认为理所当然的普通事情——能够在坚实的地面上行走,与家人一起闲逛,吃

一块热气腾腾的披萨。虽然前两件事还不能做太多,但第三件事可能很快就会有解决方案,多亏了这台酷酷的3-D披萨打印机!。文章是介绍一项可以为宇航员提供―打印披萨‖的技术可能性,故判断出,为什么作者提到宇航员在太

空中不能做的事情是为了引出主题。故选D。9.细节理解题。根据第二段―Aboutayearago,NASAoffered$125,000toAnjanContractor,a3-Dtechnologye

xpert,tobuildadevice(设备)thatwouldallowastronautstomakepizzaondemand.‖可知,大约一年前,美国宇航局出价12.5万美元给Anjan承包商

,一个3d技术专家,来建造一个可以让宇航员按需制作披萨的设备。所以美国宇航局提供的125,000美元是为了开发出向宇航员们提供新鲜披萨的技术。故选C。10.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段―That’sbecausehestil

lhastofindasolutiontomakethefoodcontainerintheprinterlastfor30years.‖可知,这是因为他仍然需要找到一个解决方案,使打印机中的食物容器能够使用30年。所以Anjan承包商现在面临的最大挑战可能是他无法使食品容器持续几

十年。故选D。11.主旨大意题。通读全文可知,宇航员在太空时,也会有食物的需求。最新的研究表示,3D打印技术有望让宇航员们在太空吃上披萨,因此在将来宇航员们也许能吃上热气腾腾的披萨哦。所以短文的最佳标题为―宇航员可能很快就能享受到热气腾腾的披萨了‖。故选B。(2020届四川省成都七中

tandtheoriginofviruses.D.Theauthorisoptimisticaboutfuturevirusresearch.【答案】12.C13.D14.A15.C【解析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了关于COVID-19新型冠状病毒肺炎的传播途径、病毒起源的研究

情况。研究表明病毒自身无法传播,是通过宿主细胞来感染的;目前关于病毒起源的解释有三种主要的假说,但都还处于理论阶段。12.细节理解题。根据第三段中―Unlikehumancellsorbacteria,theyc

an’treproduceontheirown.Instead,theyinvadethecellsoflivingorganismstoreproduce,spreadandtakeover.(与人类细胞或细菌不同,它们不能自己繁殖。相反,它们侵入生物体的细胞来繁殖、传播和接管

)‖可知,病毒自身不能繁殖,只有找到宿主细胞才能繁殖。故选C项。13.细节理解题。第七段是关于病毒起源的三种假说。其中第三种假说是―Third,virusesco-evolvedwiththeirhostcells,whichmeanstheyexistedalongsidethesec

ells.‖可知,研究认为病毒与宿主细胞共同进化,并且与这些细胞共存。故选D项。14.词句猜测题。第七段中提到―therearethreemainhypotheses(假说)toexplaintheoriginofviruses.‖,以及第八段中―theseareonlytheories‖。可知,

关于病毒的起源,现在都只是处于理论阶段。现在的技术和数据对于病毒的起源还无法作出―合理的‖解释。因此可以猜测plausible意思为―合理的‖。故选A项。15.推理判断题。根据最后一段中―Continuin

会给我们提供更清晰的答案。或者未来的研究可能表明,答案甚至比现在看起来的还要含糊不清的。)‖可以推断,要找到病毒的起源还需要很长一段时间。故选C项。
