fetchhighprices.【答案】1．C2．A3．B【解析】本文是说明文。一图胜万言，本文通过四幅图号召大家保护动物。1．细节理解题。根据“RedNight”byRobertoGarciaRoa中的It

vividlyreflectstheconditionsthatthesesnakesaresuffering.(它生动地反映了这些蛇所遭受的苦难)；“FlamesinFlumes(水沟)”byNilanjan

Chatterjee中的Entitled“FlamesinFlumes,”itwasthephotographer‟sattemptstohighlightthestruggletheriverbirds,whichcapturetheirpreyfromfast-movingcur

rents,arelikelytofacefromtoslowdowninwaterflowduetoplanneddamsinriversacrossIndia.(这张照片的标题是“火焰中的羽毛”，这是摄影师试图突出河鸟

的挣扎，它们从湍急的水流中捕捉猎物，由于计划在印度境内的河流上修建水坝，它们很可能面临水流减缓的问题)；“TheRhino‟sAnnualHaircut”byMollyPenny中的TheRhinosAnnualHaircut,”reducestheriskoftheanima

lsbeingbrutallymurdered.(“犀牛的年度发型”降低了动物被残忍杀害的风险)；“ASideofFries”byNigelTaylor中的“ASideofFries”—animageofalong-ta

iledmonkeyatBatuCaves,Malaysia,holdingaboxofMcDonald‟sfries—byNigelTaylorisjustoneexampleofhowcarelesshumanbehaviori

sendangeredanimalsinthewild.(“薯条的一面”——马来西亚巴图岩洞的一只长尾猴，拿着一盒麦当劳薯条——奈杰尔·泰勒的这张照片只是一个例子，说明了人类的粗心行为是如何危害野生动物的)可知，四幅图的共同传递给观众的是人类必须要保护动物。故选C。2．推理判断题。根据“Fl

amesinFlumes(水沟)”byNilanjanChatterjee中的Entitled“FlamesinFlumes,”itwasthephotographer‟sattemptstohighlightthestruggletheriverbirds,whichcapturethei

rpreyfromfast-movingcurrents,arelikelytofacefromtoslowdowninwaterflowduetoplanneddamsinriversacrossIndia.(这张

照片的标题是“火焰中的羽毛”，这是摄影师试图突出河鸟的挣扎，它们从湍急的水流中捕捉猎物，由于计划在印度境内的河流上修建水坝，它们很可能面临水流减缓的问题)可知，印度河上的水坝可能会使红尾水鸲没有食物而饥饿。故选A。3．细节理解

题。根据“TheRhino‟sAnnualHaircut”byMollyPenny中的EcologistsinSouthAfricahavetosawofftheanimals‟horns,whichregrowannually.

Cruelasitseems,“TheRhinosAnnualHaircut,”reducestheriskoftheanimalsbeingbrutallymurdered.(南非的生态学家不得不锯掉这些动物每年都会重新长出的角。尽管看起来很残忍，“犀牛的年度发型”降低了动物被

残忍杀害的风险)可知，为了减少犀牛们被人类残忍谋杀，南非的生态学家们不得不锯掉每年会重新生长的犀牛角。故选B。2.（2020届湖南省衡阳市高三毕业班联考）Thefireofcreativitydoesn‟tnecessarilyburnoutaftery

。根据第一段中的“Manypeoplebelievethatthecreativityisexclusively(专有地)associatedwithyouth,butitreallydependsonwhatkindofcreativityy

ou‟retalkingabout,”saystheleadstudyauthor,BruceWeinbergofOhioStateUniversity.(研究报告的主要撰写人、俄亥俄州立大学的布鲁斯·温伯格说：“

要很长时间才能有创新性思想。故选B。11．推理判断题。根据第五段中的Theresearcherscorrelated(与……相关联)theirfindingsineconomicachievementswiththoseofscientificachie

vements.(研究人员将他们在经济成就方面的发现与科学成就联系起来)及列举的爱因斯坦和达尔文的例子说明，这些发现也适用于科学领域。故选A。3.（2020届湖南省岳阳市高三教学质量检测）Bookingavacationhasnever

!)可知B选项“欣赏海岸景色”属于MyrtleBeachSC的活动；根据第二段中Thiscityisknownforitsstunningbeachesandadventuresthatofferupuniqueopportunitiestocreatethemo

stunforgettablememories.SetoutonthesparklingwaterstolookfordolphinsontheMyrtleBeachDolphinSightseeingCruises.(这个城市以其

迷人的海滩和冒险闻名，提供了独特的机会来创造最难忘的记忆。出发在波光粼粼的水域寻找海豚在默特尔海滩海豚观光巡航。)可知A选项“寻找海豚”和C选项“加入海洋探险”属于MyrtleBeachSC的活动。只有

D选项“参加音乐会”没有提到，故选D。2．细节理解题。根据第三段中Itisthecapitalofthestateaswellasthecapitalofcountrymusic.Affectionatelynicknamed„MusicCity‟,Nashvilleiswh

eremanyofthemostlegendaryperformersgottheirstart.可知它是国家的首都，也是乡村音乐的首都。被亲切地称为“音乐之城”的纳什维尔是许多最具传奇色彩的表演者的发祥地。由此可知，Nash

villeTN的特别之处在于有两个重要身份和一个昵称。故选A。3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中HometorichTexanandAmericanhistory,SanAntonio,TXisagreatplacetovisitforacombi

nationofhistoryandmodernattractions.可知拥有丰富的德州和美国历史，SanAntonioTX是一个伟大的地方访问历史和现代景点的结合。由此可知，你应该去SanAntonioTX

是对人类健康和自然景观的潜在威胁。其他研究表明，长期暴露在极端温度下会使中暑或其他与热有关的疾病的几率增加，并会影响植物的生长。12．细节理解题。根据第四段中thesecompoundextremeswillhappenaboutf

ourtimesmorefrequentlythantheydotoday(abouteightdayseachsummer).可知这些复合极端天气发生的频率是现在的四倍（每年夏天大约8天）。由此可知，D选项“在本世纪余下的时间里，每年夏天大约有32

天会发生这种情况”正确。故选D。13．词义猜测题。根据后文livingthingsmayhavelessopportunitytorecoverfromtheeffectsofthedaytimeheat可知如果没有凉爽的夜晚作为缓解，

生物从白天高温中恢复的机会就会减少。由此可知，划线单词意思为“缓解”。故选B。14．推理判断题。根据最后一段中Overlookingthiscompoundingeffectmayleadtoseriousunderestim

ateofheat-inducedconsequences.可知忽视这种复合效应可能导致严重低估热诱导的后果。由此可推知，忽视极端天气的问题可能会导致严重的后果。故选C。15．主旨大意题。根据第二段中Newrese

archsuggeststhatanewtrendisontherise-extremeheatduringthedayfollowedbyextremeheatovernight.可知一项新的研究表明，一种新的趋势正在上升——白天极度炎热，夜晚极度炎热。结合文章还说明了研究表明，持续变暖

会使情况变得更糟，白天和晚上的极端天气不仅仅是舒适的问题，它们也是对人类健康和自然景观的潜在威胁。其他研究表明，长期暴露在极端温度下会使中暑或其他与热有关的疾病的几率增加，并会影响植物的生长。由此可知这篇文章主要讲了炎热的白天和夜晚的危险正在增加。故选A。5.（2020届江西省新余市高

8．B9．B10．D11．B【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了澳大利亚的千禧一代中有很多人想将社交媒体发展成赚钱的手段甚至作为事业，专家对此表示了担忧。8．推理判断题。从第二段对于insta-celebrities的描述Theirconcernsfol

lowthesuddenrisein"insta-celebrities"whomakemoneybypostingsponsoredphotosonline.Fortheluckyfewwhoarenotonlytalentedphotographersbutalsogo

od-lookingandbusiness-savvy(有商业头脑的)，makingmoneyoffsocialmediaisn'timpossible.以及第四段中“theappealofmakingmone

yonplatformslikeInstagram”可知，社交媒体上的名人可以通过赞助来挣钱，即使你非专业，如果相貌姣好、有商业头脑也有机会靠社交媒体赚钱。所以判断出为什么“insta-celebrities”会

突然走红是因为许多人把它看作是赚钱的捷径相当于一条捷径。故选B项。9．词义猜测题。根据划线词后面的句子“bytheappealofmakingmoneyonplatformslikeInstagram,可知，“受到在一些社交平台上可以赚钱的吸引，许多澳大利亚年轻人被卷入其中”。所以

通过上下文的语境可以判断出，gettingsuckedin也应该表达的意思是“参与其中、卷入其中”。故选B项。10．推理判断题。根据第三段DrLaurenRosewarne所说的话inreality,therearefarfew

erpeoplemakingmoneyofftheplatformsthanonemaythink.可知，她先是表示通过社交媒体赚钱是很难很不现实的，做到的人也很少。再根据倒数第四段“Therearesomepeoplewhocanmakefortunesoutofmoneti

zing(使具有货币性质)theirInstagramposts,butthatisnotthenorm.”可知，有些人可以通过在instagram上发帖赚钱，但这不是常态。由此判断出，靠社交平台赚钱并非好主意。故选D项。1

1．细节理解题。最后一段“"Allofasudden,peopleownyourprivatelife”可知，突然之间，人们拥有了你的私人生活。所以Tonieager认为过度使用社交媒体会导致个人隐私的损失。故选B项。6

C14．B15．C【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了通过对一些诺贝尔获奖者事业生涯的研究，发现人的创造力会有两种峰值，这取决于你是哪种类型的创新者。12．细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Itfoundtherearetwodifferentpeaksofc

reativity.Onecomesearlyinaperson'scareer,whileanothercomeslater.”可知，这项研究表明，创造力的巅峰可能来自与事业早期，也可能是在后期，对应一个人的年轻时与年纪稍大时，A选项符合文意。故选A项。13．词义猜测题。

根据划线短语所在句“Thesetypeofinnovators"thinkoutsidethebox",challengingconventionalwisdomandsuddenlycomingupwithnewideas.”可知，非谓语动词部分可以看作对这一短语的解释，意为“挑战传统智慧，提

出新的想法”，也就是勇于突破一些旧的模式、框架。故选C项。14．细节理解题。根据第八段“Thelongperiodsoftrialanderrorforimportantexperimentalinn

ovationscomelaterinaNobellaureate's(荣誉获得者的)career.”可知，在一位诺贝尔奖得主的职业生涯中，重要的实验性创新经历了漫长的不断的尝试和错误。所以他们通过不断的尝试和错误获得了发现。故选B项。15．细节

理解题。根据最后一段“Ourresearchsuggeststhatwhenyou'remostcreativeismoreabouthowyouapproachyourwork.”可知，在这项研究中，决定创造力巅峰的就是你如何处

理你的工作。所以研究人员认为是如何处理他们的工作决定了一个人的创造力峰值。故选C项。7.（2020届江西省重点中学协作体高三第一次联考）In2019,morethan125,000organs,mostlykidneys,weretransplante

【答案】12．C13．D14．C15．D【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了垃圾分类在北京的实施情况。12．推理判断题。根据第四段中Blue-coloreddustbinsindicateitemswithinarerecyclable,greenrepresentskitchentras

h,redcorrespondstodangerousmaterialsandgreytootherwaste.“蓝色的垃圾桶表示里面的物品是可回收的，绿色代表厨房垃圾，红色代表危险物品，灰色代表其他垃圾。”由此可知，废电池不能再回收，所以不能被扔到蓝

色的垃圾桶里。故选C。13．推理判断题。根据第二段中Beijinghasthusbeenexpectedtofollowsuit.Thecurrentregulationgivesgarbagesortingresponsibilitiesto

governmentdepartments,propertymanagementgroupsandotherorganizations.“因此，外界预计中国政府也会效仿。目前的规定将垃圾分类的责任交给了政府部门、物业管理集团和其他组织。”由此可知，从文章中可以得知，现在北京市民不需要对垃圾分类负责

。故选D。14．主旨大意题。根据第四段第一句TheBeijingcitygovernmentfirstsetouttopromotegarbagesortingin2009.“北京市政府于2009年开始推广垃圾分类。”和最后一段BeijingEnvironmentalSa

canssince2016“自2016年以来，北京环卫工程集团一直在推广新的垃圾分类设施，如回收箱和智能厨房垃圾桶”由此可知，C项PresentGarbageCollectioninBeijing.(目前北京的

垃圾收集)为最佳主题。故选C。15．推理判断题。根据全文内容尤其是最后一段中的XinhuaNewsAgencyreported(新华社报道)可知，这是一篇关于北京市垃圾分类的新闻报道，所以它不可能出现在一本时尚杂志、一本科学书和一个政府报告上，它最有可能出现在报纸上。故

daroundtheworld!可知，十二岁时，路易斯学会了一种可以用指尖默默读取信息的通讯系统。他改变了它，创造了盲文。现在全世界都在使用。所以布莱叶盲文使盲人受益匪浅，故选C。2．细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句WhenHannahHerbstwasjust1

4yearsold,shewasnamedAmerica'sTopYoungScientistforinventingadevicecalledBEACON.可知，当HannahHerbst只有14岁的

时候，她因为发明了一种名为BEACON的设备而被提名为美国最顶尖的年轻科学家。可知选D。3．推理判断题。根据首段第二句GreatinventorslikeThomasEdisonhaveimpactedpeople'sliveswiththeiri

nventions.Whiletheircontributionsarecertainlyvaluable,otheramazinginventionswereactuallycreatedbychildren!可知，像托马斯·爱迪生这样伟大的发明家用他们的发明影响

了人们的生活。虽然他们的贡献当然是有价值的，但其他令人惊异的发明实际上是由孩子们创造！由此判断出这些儿童发明的共同点是孩子创造的的神奇发明影响了人们的生活，故选D。12.（2020届陕西省铜川市高三第二次模拟）Whatisbodysurfing?Bodysurfingisrelatedtorid
