udedaglassofwine(41liters),asingleservingofpotatochips(23liters),andasmallbarofmilkchocolate(21liters).可知饼干、蛋糕和酒精等零食造成了25%的缺水足迹。研究还包括
一杯葡萄酒(41升),一份薯片(23升)和一小块牛奶巧克力(21升)。由此可知,如果你想降低自己的水消耗足迹,减少零食将是首先要做的事情。故划线短语“theN0.1priority”意思为“首先要做的事情”。故选
C。15.推理判断题。根据最后一段中So,weneedtowatchwhatweeat,notjustforourpersonalhealthbutforthehealthofoursocieties.可知所以,我们需要注意我们吃什么,不仅是为了我们个人的健康,也是为了我们整个社会的健康。由此可推

C项。14.推理判断题。根据第四段的Throughnaturalselection,almostanyplantwilleventuallyproduceresistancetoFungi.(通过自然选择,几乎任何一种植物最终都能对真菌产生抗体)可推测,最后生存下来的植物可以对真
菌产生抗体。A.Thesurvivalofthefittest.(最健康的幸存者)符合以上说法,故选A项。15.主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容,尤其是第一段的Overthepastdecade,drug-resistantdiseaseshaveappe

rea.Now,thebackroomoftheFormosaCafelookslikeamuseumthathonorstheworksofChineseAmericansandtheircontribu
tionstoHollywood.(纵观历史,许多华裔美国人都致力于这一领域。现在,FormosaCafe的陈列室看起来像是一个纪念华裔美国人作品及其对好莱坞贡献的博物馆。)可知通过列举FormosaCafe的陈列室来表达对华裔美国电影人的努力的赞赏之情。故选A项。2.细节
理解题。由第二段中的TherewasanideathattheChinesewasthe“yellowperil”,whoyoucouldn‟ttrust.及In1926,CharlieChan,aC
hineseinvestigatorfromHawaii,appearedforthefirsttimeinamovie.Thiscreatedadifferent,yetstillproblematicAsianstereotype.(有一种观念认为华人是“黄祸”,你不能相信他
们。1926年,来自夏威夷的中国调查员CharlieChan首次出现在一部电影中。这创造了一个不同的,但仍然有问题存在的亚洲刻板印象。)可知CharlieChan在当时仍然属于对亚洲人的刻板印象的角色,为不受人欢迎的角色,故选D项。3.推理判断题。由第
三段中的CharlieChanandFuManchumayhavebeenChinesecharacters,buttheactorswereusuallywhitemenmadeuptolooklikeAsian.可知当时是美国本土人演中国角色,故A项
排除;B项出处为FuManchu这一具体角色特征,不能以点代面;根据最后一段中的HollywoodhasbeenmakingfilmsthatwillnotoffendmoviegoersinChinaorthecountry‟sgovernment.Thei
ndustryhasbeencarefulnottoshowtheChineseasevil.(好莱坞一直在制作不会冒犯中国或中国政府的电影。这个行业一直小心翼翼,不把中国人展示为是邪恶的形象。)可知美国电影人不会在电影里冒犯中国,他们对中国人的印象已经有了很大的改观,所以D项排除,故选C项。

7.Whereisthistextmostlikelyfrom?A.Parents.B.Instyle.C.Fortune.D.TheNewYorkTimes.【答案】4.D5.A6.A7.D【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍挪威城市埃斯基尔斯蒂纳在垃圾回收时将不同类别的垃圾用不
同颜色的垃圾袋收纳的独特之举,同时分析了此种举措存在的优势。4.细节理解题。由第一段的第四句“Butalmosteveryonewholivesherefollowsastrictrecyclingpolicyathome.”和第五句“Peopleareexpectedtosorttheirho
useholdwasteintosevenseparatecategories,includingfood,textiles,cartons(纸板箱)andmetal.”可知,几乎所有住在这里的人们都会在家遵守严格的回收政策。人们被要求将他们的家
庭垃圾分成7个独立的类别,包括食物类,纺织品类,纸板箱和金属。由此可见,在Eskilstuna垃圾回收被人们严格的执行。结合选项可知,选项D正确。5.词义猜测题。由第二段第二句“becausethey‟recol
lectedaltogetherinarush,onceafortnightfromoutsidepeople‟shouses.”可知,因为他们是两周一次从人们房子外面匆忙的全部收集。由此可知,这些垃圾袋因为是匆忙的收集,所以到达回收厂时是混合在一起的。单词
jumbled应该表达的是“混合在一起”。结合选项可知,选项A正确。6.推理判断题。由第二段的第三句“Butthankstothosebrightcolors,scannerscanselectthe
bagsandseparatethemefficiently.”和第五句“Oneofthebenefitsofthismethodofrecyclingisthatthereislesscross-pollution,somoreoftherecyc
ledwastecanactuallybeusedtomakenewthings.”可知,但是幸亏那些鲜明的颜色,扫描机能有效地挑选垃圾袋并且将他们分开。这种回收方法的优势之一就是更少的交叉污染,所以实际上更多的回收垃圾能被使用来制作新的事物。由此可知,这种新的回收
系统因为有鲜明的颜色,垃圾袋的分开变得有效,而且更多的垃圾得到回收,重新制作成新的事物,垃圾的回收率得到提升。结合选项可知,选项A正确。7.推理判断题。由全文内容可知,第一段第二句“LikemanycitiesinSweden,Eskilstunahasanimpressiverecyc
lingrecord.”和最后一句“Butwhatreallymakesthesystemstandoutisthebrightcolourcode.”,第二段的第五句“Oneofthebenefitsof
thismethodofrecyclingisthatthereislesscross-pollution,somoreoftherecycledwastecanactuallybeusedtomakenewthings.”和第七句“Wastethatcannotberecyc
ledisburntatalocalplanttogenerateelectricity.”可知,像瑞典的很多城市一样,Eskilstuna有一个令人印象深刻的回收记录。使这个回收系统出色的原因是明亮的颜色代码。这个回收方法的优势之一是更少的交叉污染,所以实
际上更多的回收垃圾能被使用来制作新的事物。不能回收的垃圾在当地的工厂燃烧产生电。由此可知整篇文章都是在讲述新的垃圾回收系统出色的原因和其优势,是关于环保类的话题。结合选项可知,选项D.TheNewYorkTimes《纽约时代》是属于报纸类,话题可以涵盖环保。故

据第一段中的Chocolates,syrup,creamontop,manyofthehotdrinksweconsumeevenmoreatthistimeofyearcertainlysoundsugary,butjusthowmuchsugartheycontain
mightcomeasashock.(巧克力,糖浆,奶油,每年这个时候我们喝得很多的热饮,听上去肯定是含糖的,但是它们的含糖量可能会让人震惊。)可知大众爱喝的热饮中含糖量高得惊人,第二段用数据来支撑第一段的观点,因此可知B项(一些热饮
料中的糖含量让人震惊)符合第一二段大意,故选B项。9.细节理解题。由第三段第一句Thedrinkmakerswon‟thavethosedetailslistednexttotheprice.Ifknown,itwouldbequitealarming.(饮料制造商不会在价格旁边列出这些细节。如
果人们知道的话,这将是相当令人震惊的。)可知热饮商不会将含糖量标出,故选C项。10.推理判断题。纵览全文尤其是根据第三段中的Somedrinkshaveactuallyreducedinsugaroverthepastfewyears,butma
nymorehaven‟t.(在过去的几年中,一些饮料的糖分实际上已经降低了,但更多的没有减少。)及最后一段中的Andwhilesomecompaniesareactuallybeingreallyresponsiblereducingthe
irsugar,somehaveactuallyincreasedthatinthelasttwoyearswhichjustseemsridiculous.(虽然有些公司确实有责任减少糖分,但有些公司却在过去两年里增加了糖分,这看起来很荒谬。)可知作者既肯定了部分热
饮商的努力,确实用行动支持降糖,同时也指出一些热饮店的部分产品的含糖量不减反增,可以用推理得知作者的立场是理性客观地,故选C项。11.细节理解题。根据最后一段中的ButActiononSugararestillcallingformoretaxonhotcoffee
drinks.(但针对糖的行动仍要求对热咖啡饮料征收更多的税。)可知对热饮店加税是相对可行的举措,故选A项。(2020届安徽省江淮十校高三第三次联考)Dosomekindsofvideogamescauseviolence?Scientificstudiesdonotsugges

2.推理判断题。由第一段第二句ButtheideathatthereisalinkbetweenviolentvideogamesandviolentactsreappearedfollowingthemassshootinginElPaso“但在埃
尔帕索发生大规模枪击案后,暴力视频游戏和暴力行为之间的联系再次出现。”可知由于最近爆发的恐怖袭击事件,引发了人们对于暴力游戏引发暴力事件的猜想,二者为论据与论点的关系,故选D。13.细节推理题。由第二段第一句“BenjaminBurr
oughsisaprofessorofmedia”,可知两位并不都从事于心理学研究,故A项排除;纵览全文对BenjaminBurroughs的描述只提及他借用他人的研究未提及他白己的研究,故C项排除;由第二段第四句“Hesaidthattherei
snolinkagetogunviolence,whenmentioningvideogames.”,和第四段倒数第三句“Markeybelievesthatvideogamesmightexcitepeople,buttheydonotchangewhopeoplear
e.”可知二者都不认同网络游戏会对玩家有伤害,故D项排除;由第一段第五句中“Burroughspointedthatsomestudiesshowashort-termincreaseinaggressivethoughtsandfeelingsaf
terplayingvideogames,”以及最后一段倒数第三句,可知二者皆认同网络游戏对玩家情绪的影响,故选B。14.细节理解题。由第三段第一句“teenagerswhoplayedviolentvideogamesshowedhigherlevelsofemoti
onalarousal(激发)-strongemotionslikeangerorfear.”“玩暴力电子游戏的青少年表现出较高的情绪唤醒水平——强烈的情绪,如愤怒或恐惧。”可知游戏玩家游戏过后会有情绪波动,而其他选项信息文中木涉及,故选A。15.主旨大意题。根据
文章第一段"Dosomekindsofvideogamescauseviolence?"及全文内容可知,本文围绕游戏与暴力的关系展开讨论,向读者介绍当前学者们对于网络游戏是否引发暴力事件的研究发现。故选B。(2020届福建省福州市高三二模)Wanttobemore

的画作主要描绘了农民劳动时的场景。他通过记住他所观察到的来描绘劳动的农民,且Millet的作品传达了农民的艰辛。文章最后介绍了他的两幅作品。4.细节理解题。根据第一段中WhenMilletwasaboyheworkedonhisneedyfather'sfarm.Attheresthouri
nthefieldstheotherworkerswouldalltakenaps,butyoungMilletwouldspendtimedrawing.可知,当小米还是个孩子的时候,他在他父亲的农场工作。在田间休息的时候,其他的工人都会打盹,但小Millet会

winggrain.Thenhewouldcomehomeandpaintwhathehadseen.可知画家会到农场去,看他们仔细地挖土、锄地、撒肥料、锯木头或播种。然后他回到家,把他所看到的画出来。由此可知,他通过记住他所观察到的来描绘劳动的农民。故选C。6.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中In

d【答案】12.A13.B14.A15.D【解析】这是一篇说明文。Inaccessible岛的名字很好。它是南大西洋的一块无人居住的岩石。然而,去那里,你会发现它的海岸到处都是垃圾。PeterRyan和他的同事们的一项研究发现Inaccessible岛上的垃圾堆积的原因是因为洋流导致的,
文章还说明了他们是如何进行调查从而发现这一原因的,他们发现岛上的垃圾都是从陆地上被冲走的,或者是从沿海的船只上扔下的。12.细节理解题。根据第三段ThoughInaccessibleisindeedremote,thenatureofoceani
ccirculationmeansthatthisisexactlythesortofplacewherefloatingrubbishtendstoaccumulate.可知,虽然Inaccessible岛的确很遥远,
但海洋环流的性质意味着这里正是漂浮垃圾容易堆积的地方。由此可知,洋流的自然现象导致了Inaccessible岛的垃圾堆积。故选A。13.细节理解题。根据第五段中Aparticularadvantageofpickingbottlestoinvestigateisthatthe
yareoftenstampedwiththeircountryofmanufacture.可知,挑选瓶子进行调查的一个特别优点是,它们通常都印有生产国家的标志。由此可知,Ryan博士选择瓶子作为实验对象是因为这样可能可以弄清瓶子的来源。故选B。14.词义猜测题。根据上文Theothertwo,w
iththeirrisingproportionsofrubbishfromAsia,whichistoofarfromtheislandforittohavefloatedthere,stronglysuggestitwascrews‟emptiesbeing可知,另外两
艘船中,来自亚洲的垃圾越来越多,因为亚洲离该岛太远,不可能漂浮在岛上,这有力地说明了这是船员从船上丢弃的空垃圾。由此可知,划线单词意思为“丢弃”。A.Castaway.丢弃;B.Givenaway.分发;C.Carriedout.实施;D.Putout.熄灭。故选A。15.主旨大意题。根据第一
段InaccessibleIslandiswellnamed.ItisanuninhabitedrockintheSouthAtlanticocean.Gothere,though,andyouwillfinditscoastiscoveredwithlitter.可知,Inaccessible岛
的名字很好。它是南大西洋的一块无人居住的岩石。然而,去那里,你会发现它的海岸到处都是垃圾。结合文章主要介绍了Inaccessible岛的名字很好。它是南大西洋的一块无人居住的岩石。然而,去那里,你会发现它的海岸到处都是垃圾。PeterRya

B13.B14.C15.C【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了研究人员最近发现一种不同于一般动物的迁徙模式,以科里的剪水鹱为例,它是一种每年在大西洋上空迁徙的海鸟。研究发现,剪水鹱中,年轻的比年长的走得更远,时间更长,路径也更多样化。这证明了候鸟
的“改进探索”的存在,在瞬息万变的世界里,“改进探索”可能对鸟类和其他生物有益。12.主旨大意题。根据第一段中的Wildlifesuchaswhalesandgeeselearnmigrationpathsbyfoll
owingtheirparents.Others,includingsmallsongbirds,gainthedistanceanddirectionoftheirmigrationwithintheirgeneticcode.Andsomeanimalsuseacombina

动物利用遗传和文化的结合来指导它们的迁徙。)可知第一段提到像鲸鱼和鹅这样的野生动物及其他动物的迁徙模式,因此第一段主要描述了不同的迁徙模式,故选B项。13.词句猜测题。根据第三段中的Cory‟sshearwa
tersarelong-lived,rarelyproducingyoungsuccessfullybeforeagenine.Thisleavesanopeningforlearningandpracticetodeveloptheirmigrationpatterns.Researcher
scallthisthe“exploration-refinement”(科里的剪水鹱是长寿的,很少能在九岁之前成功地生产出幼崽。这为学习和实践提供时间,以开发他们的迁徙模式。研究人员称之为“改进探索”)可知划横线的上文提到剪水鹱的长寿的特点及不断开发迁徙模式。因此划横
线的this指的是剪水鹱形成迁徙模式的方式。故选B项。14.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的YoungerCory‟sshearwatersareabletoflyjustasfastastheadults—buttheydonot,suggestingthattheyoungdomore
exploring(年轻的科里剪水鹱能够飞得和成年剪水鹱一样快,但它们不这样做,这表明年轻剪水鹱会做更多的探索)可知LetiziaCampioni所做的研究发现,年轻的科里剪水鹱为了进行探索而降低了飞行速度。故选C项。1
5.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“explorationrefinement”couldbebeneficialtobirdsandotherorganismsinarapidlychangingworldduetounpredictableman
-madechanges.Itmightbesafertorepeatabehaviorthatwasrecentlysuccessfulthantorelyonpatternsthatwereperfectedlongag
obutmightnolongerbesafe.(“探索改良”可能对迅速变化的世界中的鸟类和其他生物体有益。”“重复最近成功的行为,可能比依赖很久以前已经完善但可能不再安全的模式更安全。”)可知“改进探索”有助于鸟类在瞬息万变的世界里更好得生存下去,因此可推
出探索迁徙路线会有助于鸟类的适应性。故选C项。(2020届广东省高三模拟一)AfricaWaterWeek-nearlyonebillionpeoplearoundtheworldhavenoaccesstodrinkingwater,thatl

terrightstotheurbanpoor.可知影片记录了一个非营利组织如何帮助修改法律,给予城市贫民同等的用水权利。由此可知,第4段主要讲了电影《Dhaka的挑战》。故选B。10.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中Awin-winsituationac
tuallyoccurredbecauseDhakaWASAwantedtheirincomesandontheotherhand,poorpeoplewantedtheserviceandtheyimmediatelyseetheeconomicadvantageofgettingDh

擅长创造性解决问题的原因以及提出了一种使团体更具有创造力的方法。12.推理判断题。由第二段Akeyelementofcreativityisapplyingexistingknowledgetoanewproblem.Themorep
eoplegettinginvolvedinsolvingit,themoreknowledgethereistoworkonit.Unfortunately,researchshowsthatthetraditiona
lbrainstormingmethodsfailtoachievethatgoal.可知,创造力的一个关键因素是应用现有知识解决新问题,人们越多地涉及创新地解决问题,就会有越多的知识被应用,不幸的是,研究表明:传统的脑力风暴并不能如愿以偿达到
目的。所以研究表明,传统的头脑风暴方法实际上限制了团队的创造力。故选C项。13.细节理解题。由第四段Ingroups,onceamemberstatesapotentialsolution,thatmakesothersthinkabouttheproblemsimi
larly.可知,在团体,一旦一个成员阐述了一个潜在的解决办法,就会使其他成员对这个问题有类似的想法。所以根据第4段,当一个成员提出一个想法时,其他人往往会跟随他的思维方式。故选B项。14.细节理解题。由第五段Forexample,earlyintheproblem-solvi
ngprocess,havegroupmembersworkalonetowritedownstatementsdescribingtheproblem.可知,在问题解决过程的早期,团队成员应该首先写下他们各自的叙述。故选D项。15.主旨
大意题。根据第一段的Mostpeoplearen‟tgoodatcreativeproblemsolvingfortworeasons.可知,第一段提到众人不擅长创造性解决问题的原因有两个。再根据第二段“Unfor
tunately,researchshowsthatthetraditionalbrainstormingmethodsfailtoachievethatgoal.Whengroupsgettogethertoexchangeideas,theyactuallycomeupw
ithfewerideasoverallthaniftheyeachhadworkedalone”可知,不幸的是,研究表明,传统的头脑风暴方法未能实现这一目标。当团队聚在一起交流想法时,他们实际上提出的想法比各自单独工作时要少。所以短文的前两段提出了团体不擅长创造性解决问题的原因以
及现存的团队创造力解决方法的弊端,短文从第三段起就上述现象提出了一种使团体更具有创造力的方法。因此推断文章主要讲述了一种使团体更具有创造力的方法。故A项“一种使团体更具有创造力的方法”为最佳标题。故选A项。(2020届广东省肇庆市高三质量

间:12September──13October;25September──26January;19September──19January;21October──3December可知,10月份是它们共同开放的时间。故选C。(2020届广东省肇

节理解题。根据第一段中Theyhavereallysharpteeththeyusetoridrocksofalgae(海藻)whichmakesthemprettyvaluableespeciallyinplaceslikeHawaiiwherealgaearethreaten
ingthecoralreefs.“它们有锋利的牙齿用来清除岩石上的藻类,这使它们非常珍贵,尤其是在夏威夷这样的地方,那里的藻类正在威胁珊瑚礁。”由此可知,海胆之所以被认为是杰出的生物是因为它们可以清除有害藻类。故选C。9.推理判断题。根据第二段中
Theproblemstartedwhennon-nativealgaewereintroducedtotheecosystemofKaneoheBayinthe1970s.Becausetheyhadnoenemi
es,theyendeduptakingoverthebay,“这一问题始于20世纪70年代非本地藻类被引入卡内奥河湾的生态系统。因为它们没有敌人,它们最终占领了海湾,”由此可知,非本地藻类到达卡内奥河湾后,它们散布到海湾的每一个角落。故选B。10.词义猜测题。根据第三
段第二句Buttheyhadtogrowtothesizeofacherrytomatobeforetheycouldbeused.“但它们必须长到樱桃番茄的大小才能被使用。”可知,seaurchinsthatlovedtode
vourthealgae“海胆喜欢吃海藻”。由此推知划线词的意思是“吃”。故选A。11.推理判断题。根据最后一段Algaeisn‟ttheonlythingthatthreatensthecoralreefs.Climatechangeandtheeffect

yonesinglepainting—MonaLisa,intheRenaissanceera.可知展出的35000件艺术品的光芒都被一幅文艺复兴时期的画作《蒙娜丽莎》所掩盖。由此可知,卢浮宫里最好、最受赞赏的展览是《蒙娜丽莎》。故选A。2.细节理解题。根据倒数第二
段中HousedinaformerrailwaystationontheLeftBankoftheSeine,themuseumopenedin1986andtodayhousestheplanet‟slargestcollection
ofImpressionistandPost-Impressionistartworks.可知该博物馆位于塞纳河左岸的一个前火车站,于1986年开放,如今收藏着世界上最大的印象派和后印象派艺术作品。由此可知,如今,Muséed‟Orsay博物馆收藏印象派作品。故选C。3.
细节理解题。根据最后一段AsParis‟smainhometonon-Europeanart,objects,andculture,thisJeanNouvel-designedmuseumexhibitsacollectionof3,500

,以及计算方法可能会随着时间的流逝而改变。目的是为了说明闰日被需要的原因。12.短语猜测题。根据第二段的History.comreportsthattheEgyptianshadalreadybeendoingthisf
orawhilebeforeEuropefinallycaughtonin46BC,whenRomanEmperorJuliusCaesarandastronomerSosigenesputtheirheadstogethertocomeupw
ithwhatwenowcalltheJuliancalendar,可知,History.com报道说在欧洲最终在公园前46年开始使用闰日之前,埃及人已经这样好一段时间了,那时罗马的统治者凯撒和天文学家Sosigenesputtheirheadstogether想出了我们今天所称的公历。根据句
意,尤其是comeupwithwhatwenowcalltheJuliancalendar推测划线部分的意思是“共同努力”。D.Combinetheirefforts.(联合他们的努力)符合以上说法,故选D项。13.细节理解题。根据第三段的Forinstan
ce,theyear2000includedaleapdaybecauseitcanbedividedby100and400(例如,2000年包含一个闰日,因为它可以被100和400同时整除)可知,能够被100和400同时整除
的年份包含一个闰日。选项中的1600年可以同时被它们整除,故该年包含一个闰日。B.1600.符合以上说法,故选B项。14.推理判断题。根据最后一段的GregoryXIII‟scorrectiontoCaesar'sovercorrectionis

法,故选D项。15.推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容,尤其是第二段的So,ifwewantourcalendaryeartobeginrightwhenEarthbeginsanewturnaroundthesun,wehavetoaccountforroughlyanext
raquarterofadayeachyear,oronedayeveryfouryears.(因此,如果我们想让我们的日历年恰好从地球绕太阳转一圈的时候开始,我们就会每年多出四分之一天,或者每四年多出一天)和最后一段的Grego
