俄亥俄州立大学研究表明这依赖于你在谈论哪种创造力。创造力不专属于年轻人。8．主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Manypeoplebelievethatthecreativityisexclusively(专有地)associatedwithyouth,buti

treallydependsonwhatkindofcreativityyou‟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：“许多人认为创造力只与年轻人有关，但实际上这取决于你所谈论的创造力的类型)及下文对这项研究的介绍可知，“创造力不专属于年轻人”适合做本文最佳标题。故选D。9．推理判断题。根据第三段中的We

研究了31位诺贝尔经济学奖得主的著作，将这些经济学家的研究范围从最具概念化到最具实验性)以及第四段中的Economistswithaconceptualapproachpeakedintheir20s,whilethosewhotooktheexperimentalap

proachpeakedintheirlate50s.(采用概念性方法的经济学家在20多岁时达到顶峰，而采用实验性方法的经济学家在50多岁时达到顶峰)可知，31位诺贝尔经济学奖获得者中多数是“概念式”创新者。

故选C。10．推理判断题。根据第四段中的Economistswithaconceptualapproachpeakedintheir20s,whilethosewhotooktheexperimentalapproachpeakedin

用实验性方法的经济学家在50多岁时达到顶峰。大多数获奖者是在至少25年的辛勤工作后才有了重大发现)可推知，实验性创新者需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)theirfindi

ngsineconomicachievementswiththoseofscientificachievements.(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）Bo

受欢迎的旅行目的地的情况。1．细节理解题。根据第二段中Ifcoastalviewsandoceanicadventuresareupyouralley,thenMyrtleBeach,SCistheplaceforyou!(如果你对海岸景观和海洋冒险感兴趣，那么默特尔海滩，SC是你的

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

tunforgettablememories.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Itisthecapitalofthestat

easwellasthecapitalofcountrymusic.Affectionatelynicknamed„MusicCity‟,Nashvilleiswheremanyofthemostlegendaryperformersgottheirstart.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，NashvilleTN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HometorichTexanand

Americanhistory,SanAntonio,TXisagreatplacetovisitforacombinationofhistoryandmodernattractions.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探索美国的历史。故选B。4.（2020届湖南省岳阳市高三教学质量检测）Thecombinationofdayandnighte

热，夜晚极度炎热。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。12．细节理解题。根据第四段中thesecompoundextremeswillhappenaboutfourtimesmorefrequentlythantheydotoday(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livingthingsmayhavelessopportunit

ytorecoverfromtheeffectsofthedaytimeheat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Overlook

ingthiscompoundingeffectmayleadtoseriousunderestimateofheat-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Newresearchsuggeststhatanewtrendisontherise-extremeheatduringthedayfollowedbyextremeheatov

ernight.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届江西省新余市高考二模）Australianexpert

1．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Theirconcerns

followthesuddenrisein"insta-celebrities"whomakemoneybypostingsponsoredphotosonline.Fortheluckyfewwhoarenotonlytalentedphotographe

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

eyonplatformslikeInstagram”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,therearefarfewerpeoplemakingmoney

offtheplatformsthanonemaythink.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“Therearesomepeoplewhocanmakefortune

soutofmonetizing(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。11．细节理解题。最后一段“"Allofa

sudden,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.（2020届江西省新余市高考二模）Ifyoubelievethatscientistsandartists

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“Itfoundtherearetwodifferentpeaksofcr

eativity.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",challengingconventionalwisdomandsudd

enlycomingupwithnewideas.”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“Thelongperiodsoftrialanderrorforimp

ortantexperimentalinnovationscomelaterinaNobellaureate'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,weretransplanted(移植)fromonehumanbeingtoanotherinth

abledonorsmeansthesupplyoforgansislimited.Thathasledresearcherstostudythequestionofhowtobuildorgansfromtheverybeginning.One

promisingapproachistoprintthem.”可知，由于缺乏合适的器官捐赠者，导致研究者开始考虑打印器官。故选B。9．细节理解题。根据第三段“SichuanRevotek,abiotechnologycompanybasedinChengdu,C

hina,hassuccessfullytransplantedaprintedsectionofartery(动脉)intoamonkey.”可知Revotek是通过把生物打印的器官移植到动物身上的方式发展生物打印技术的。故选D。

10．推理判断题。第四段介绍了生物打印技术能够帮助其他治疗的发展。Organovo使用打印的肾脏和肝脏组织测试新药物的有效性和安全性；L‟Oreal使用打印的人类皮肤测试他们产品的副作用。可推知，生物打印技术能够被社会接

受。故选C。11．主旨大意题。介绍了生物打印技术产生的原因、发展现状、未来发展和生物打印技术对器官移植的重大意义。可知本文主要想告诉我们生物打印技术对建造器官的贡献。故选C。8.（2020届辽宁省辽南协作体

。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,greenrepresentskitchentrash,redcorrespondstoda

ngerousmaterialsandgreytootherwaste.“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.Thecurrentregulationgivesgarbagesortingresponsibilitiestogovernmentdepartmen

ts,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Beijin

rashcanssince2016“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。故选D。11.（2020届山西省太原市高三模拟）GreatinventorslikeThomasEdisonhaveimpactedpeople'sliveswiththeirinventions.Whiletheirco

systemwheremessagescouldbereadsilentlywithfingertips.HechangeditandcreatedBraille.Itsnowusedaroundtheworld!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WhenHannahHerbstwasjust14yearsold,shewasnamedA

merica'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'sliveswiththeirinventions.Whiletheircontributionsarecertainlyvaluable,otheramazingi

nventionswereactuallycreatedbychildren!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?Bodysurfingisr
