衡量水消耗的指标,一项关注于水消耗足迹的研究表明,你所在的地区缺水越严重,你的水消耗足迹就越大。且饼干、蛋糕和酒精等零食造成了25%的水消耗足迹。因此我们应该注意我们的饮食。12.细节理解题。根据第二段Ina
recentstudypublishedinthejournalNutrients,scientistsfromtheCommonwealthScientificandIndustrialResearchOrganization(CSIRO),Australia'
snationalscienceorganization,tookacloselookatthedietsof9,341adultAustralians—specifically,their“water-scarcityfootprints(水消耗足迹)”.可知澳大利亚
国家科学组织联邦科学与工业研究组织的科学家最近在《营养》杂志上发表了一项研究,他们仔细研究了9341名澳大利亚成年人的饮食——特别是他们的“水消耗足迹”。由此可知,最近的研究关注的是水消耗足迹。故选D。13.细节理解题。根据第三段中Themorelackingwaterisinyourarea,
thelargeryourwater-scarcityfootprint.可知你所在的地区缺水越严重,你的水消耗足迹就越大。由此可知,CSIRO的科学家在他们的研究中发现了所在地区缺水意味着更大的水消耗足迹。故选D。14.词
义猜测题。根据第四段中Snacks—cookies,cakesandalcohol—accountedfor25percentofthewater-scarcityfootprint.Theresearchalsoincludedaglassofwine(41liters),asing
leservingofpotatochips(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,notjustf
orourpersonalhealthbutforthehealthofoursocieties.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。由此可推知,最后一

severalreasons.(例如,在俄罗斯远东地区,因为撞到车辆,道路降低了老虎的存活率。在一些地区,老虎会避开离公里更近的地方,这表明,道路是老虎行动的主要障碍。因为一些原因,道路的发展对老虎的影响非常大。)可知,道路的发展受到抨击是因为对濒临灭绝的老虎产生了不
良影响。A.Ithasbadinfluenceontigers.(它对老虎有不好的影响)符合以上说法,故选A项。10.推理判断题。根据最后一段的Thesesystemsofmeasurementprovidestarting
pointsforrange-widemonitoringandimpactassessmentsofroaddevelopmentprojects,thusenablingevaluationofprogress
towardcountry-levelconservationandsustainable(可持续的)developmentgoals.(这些测量系统为大范围的监测提供了起点以及道路发展项目影响的评价,从而可以评估国家级保护区的进展和可持续发展的目标)可推测,作者对该监测系统持乐观态度
。A.Optimistic.(乐观的)符合以上说法,故选A项。11.推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容,尤其是第三段的Here,weusearecentlydevelopedglobalroadsdatasettoinvestigatetheextentandpotentialinflu

ThePopularityofGeneEditingTechniquesD.TheNewTheoryofNaturalSelection【答案】12.B13.C14.A15.B【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了近十年对作物的观察发现,作物的耐药性来自于农场。经过自然选择,最终
活下的作物几乎都会对真菌产生抗体,从而产生耐药性。尽可能少的在农田里使用真菌杀虫剂,不仅可以减缓耐药性的发展,也有助于保持真菌的多样性。12.推理判断题。根据第二段的Fungiarecontinuallym
utating(变异),andwithalifecyclemeasuredindaysorweeks,theymutatequickly.(真菌会一直变异,它的生命周期只有几天或者几周,它们很快就会变异)可推测,真菌一直都会变异成新的形式出现。B.Theydon'tstopdevelo
pingnewforms.(它们不会停止发展新的形式)符合以上说法,故选B项。13.词义猜测题。根据第三段的Plantdiseasesposeamajorproblemforfarmersglobally-insomecrops,diseasecanreduceharvestsbymor
ethan70percent-andfailuretodealwiththeproblemcanmeanfinancialruin.可知,对于全球的农民来说植物病pose一个主要的问题——在一些作物上,病会使收成减少超过70%,如果不能解决这个问题就意味着经
济损失。根据句意推测划线部分的意思是“造成”。C.Cause.(造成)符合以上说法,故选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,d

eonfarms,andnotinhospitals.(在过去的十年中,耐药性作为一个主要的健康威胁疾病出现。但,它们是在哪里产生耐药性的呢?一个令人惊讶的理论是:它们可能是在农场,而不是在医院里产生了抗药性)可知,本文主要讲述了作物的耐药性是产
生于农场,而不是医院里。B.TheSourceoftheDrugResistance(耐药性的来源)可以作为本文标题,故选B项。(2020届安徽省江淮十校高三第三次联考)Whenfilmwasfirstinventedinthelate1800sandearly1900s,movie-goe

展史上的中国元素,突出强调电影中的中国角色,随着时代的变迁已有了根本的改变,中国元素得到美国电影界的尊重。1.细节理解题。根据第一段第二句Throughouthistory,manyChineseAmericansaredevotedinthisarea.Now,thebackroomofthe
FormosaCafelookslikeamuseumthathonorstheworksofChineseAmericansandtheircontributionstoHollywood.(纵观历史,许多华裔美国人都致力于这一领域。现在,Formo
saCafe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TherewasanideathattheChin
esewasthe“yellowperil”,whoyoucouldn‟ttrust.及In1926,CharlieChan,aChineseinvestigatorfromHawaii,appear
edforthefirsttimeinamovie.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CharlieCh
an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CharlieChanan
dFuManchumayhavebeenChinesecharacters,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.TheindustryhasbeencarefulnottoshowtheChineseasevi
l.(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。

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“Butalmosteveryonewholivesherefollowsastrictrecyclingpolicyath
ome.”和第五句“Peopleareexpectedtosorttheirhouseholdwasteintosevenseparatecategories,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‟recollectedaltogetherinarush,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,scanners
canselectthebagsandseparatethemefficiently.”和第五句“Oneofthebenefitsofthismethodofrecyclingisthatthereisless
cross-pollution,somoreoftherecycledwastecanactuallybeusedtomakenewthings.”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,Eskilstunahasanimpressiverecyclingrecord.”和最后一句“Butwhatreallymakesthesystemstandoutisthebrightcolourcode.”,第二段的第五句“Oneoft
hebenefitsofthismethodofrecyclingisthatthereislesscross-pollution,somoreoftherecycledwastecanactuallybeusedtomake
newthings.”和第七句“Wastethatcannotberecycledisburntatalocalplanttogenerateelectricity.”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。故选项D正确。(2020届安徽省江淮十校高三第三次联考)Chocolates,syrup(糖浆),creamonto

D.Warningscanbegiventothoseenjoyingweeklyhotdrinks.【答案】8.B9.C10.C11.A【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文说明了深受顾客青睐的含糖过高的饮品对健康的危害,同时也呼吁相关部门采取措施来解决热饮带来的健康问题。8.主旨大意题。根据第一
段中的Chocolates,syrup,creamontop,manyofthehotdrinksweconsumeevenmoreatthistimeofyearcertainlysoundsugary,butjusthowmuchsugart
heycontainmightcomeasashock.(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,itwouldbequitea
larming.(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Somedrinkshaveactuallyreducedin
sugaroverthepastfewyears,butmanymorehaven‟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Andwhilesomecompaniesareactu
allybeingreallyresponsiblereducingtheirsugar,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ButActiononSugararestillcallingformoretaxonhotcoffeedrinks.(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?Scientificstudiesdonotsuggestalink.Butthei

4.A15.B【解析】这是一篇说明文。本篇主要阐述暴力事件频发与网络暴力游戏的关系,介绍了在此领域的一些研究发现,和专家学者的思考。12.推理判断题。由第一段第二句Buttheideathatthereisalinkbetweenviolent
videogamesandviolentactsreappearedfollowingthemassshootinginElPaso“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“BenjaminBurroughsisaprofessorofmedia”,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“Hesaidthatthereisnolinkagetogunviolence,whenmentioningvideogames
.”,和第四段倒数第三句“Markeybelievesthatvideogamesmightexcitepeople,buttheydonotchangewhopeopleare.”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-termincreaseinaggressivethoughtsandfeelingsafterplayingvideo
games,”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“teenagerswhoplayedviolentvideogamesshowedhigherlevelsofe
motionalarousal(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。(2

onmeansthatthisisexactlythesortofplacewherefloatingrubbishtendstoaccumulate.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Aparticularadvantageofpickingbottlestoinvestigateisthattheyareoftenstampedwiththeircoun
tryofmanufacture.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。

‟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.Giv
enaway.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.ItisanuninhabitedrockintheSouthAtlanticoc

ountry.Butnow,theprocesscanalsobeviewedintheoppositeway.”可知,中国长达40年的改革开放进程意味着外国将在该国有一定的影响力,但现在,也可以用相反的方式看待这一进程。即下一句意为:外部世界正在成为中国文化的容器,即外界也在向中国开放来接受中国
的文化。结合选项可知,A项(容器)可以解释划线词,表示外国也成为了接受中国文化的“容器”。故选A。5.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“ThewebsiteprovidesadictionaryandotherMandarinlearningt
ools.Wilsonsays,“Atthebeginning,itwasjustaFacebookpagewherewepostedcharacters,theirmeaningsandexamplesentences.Thatpageexpanded
likecrazy,withnearly280,000followers.That‟swhywedecidedtodevelopadictionaryappandthenthewebsite.””可知,该网站提供了词典和其他普通话学习工具。威尔逊说:“一开始,它只是一个Facebook页面
,我们发布了汉字,它们的含义和例句。该页面后来拥有近280,000的关注者。这就是为什么我们决定开发字典应用程序,然后再开发这个网站的原因”。由此可知,这个网站帮助了外国人学习汉字。故选B。6.细节理解题。根据第五段中的“MelodyC2Eisastudentcluba
ttheShanghaiInternationalStudiesUniversity,whichistryingtospreadChinesepopsongstotheworld.”可知,MelodyC2E是

hardshipswereenormous:OneWHOofficialevenpromisedtoeatatyreifsmallpoxwasremoved…可知他们的困难是巨大的:一位官员甚至承诺,如果天花被清除,他将吃掉一个轮胎……由此可推知,作者提及世界卫生组织官员的承诺的目的

前,全世界有1/12的人死于该病。1914年,一位加拿大教授警告人们不要忘记天花,天花在北美正迅速消失。它还造成了至少2.5亿人死亡,是两次世界大战死亡人数总和的三倍。由此可推知,第4段能找到支持“天花是一种可怕疾病”的数据。故选D。11.推理判断题。根据最后一段中Let'sr
ecognizeTargetZeroDayforwhatitis:amilestoneinworldhistoryandamonumenttotheartofthepossible.可知让我们认识到“零目标日”的意义:它是世界历史上的一个里程碑,是展现可能性的艺术
的一座纪念碑。结合文章介绍了1980年5月8日的“零目标日”是医学史上一个值得纪念的日子,标志着天花这一可怕疾病被彻底根除。文章介绍了天花疫苗的发明,在1966年世界卫生组织启动的根除天花计划,在两位美国公共卫生医生的努力下实现“零目标日”,这是展现可能性的艺术的一座纪念碑

答案】12.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Wildlifesuchaswhalesandgeeselearnmigrationpathsbyfollowingtheirparents.Others,includin
gsmallsongbirds,gainthedistanceanddirectionoftheirmigrationwithintheirgeneticcode.Andsomeanimalsuseacombi
nationofgeneticsandculturetoguidetheirmigration.(像鲸鱼和鹅这样的野生动物通过跟随它们的父母来学习迁徙路线。其他动物,包括小型鸣禽,在其遗传密码中获得它们迁徙的距离和方向。一些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‟sshearwatersarelong-lived,rarelyproducingyo
ungsuccessfullybeforeagenine.Thisleavesanopeningforlearningandpracticetodeveloptheirmigrationpattern
s.Researcherscallthisthe“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‟sshearwatersareabletoflyjustasf
astastheadults—buttheydonot,suggestingthattheyoungdomoreexploring(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。15.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“explorationrefinement”couldbebeneficialtobirdsandotherorganismsinara
pidlychangingworldduetounpredictableman-madechanges.Itmightbesafertorepeatabehaviorthatwasrecentlysuccessfulthantorelyo
npatternsthatwereperfectedlongagobutmightnolongerbesafe.(“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-nearlyone

wyer,projectcoordinatoratthePulitzerCenteronCrisisReporting,“istosharewithawideraudiencetheurgentissuessurroundin
gwater.Ourgoalforthisscreeningistojustgettheseissuesoutthere,”hesays.可知“呈现这些影片的挑战,”普利策危机报道中心的项目协调员PeterSawyer说,“是要与更广泛的观众分享与水有关的紧迫问
题。我们的筛选目标就是让这些问题浮出水面,”他说。由此可知,电影的主要目的是让更多的人知道严重的水问题。故选B。9.主旨大意题。根据第四段中InDhaka'sChallenge,filmmakerStephenSapienzaexpl
oresoneofthefastestgrowingcitiesinAsia.可知在《Dhaka的挑战》中,导演斯StephenSapienza探索了亚洲发展最快的城市之一。结合后文Thefilmrecordshowanon-profitgrouphelpedcha
ngethelawtogivethesameequalwaterrightstotheurbanpoor.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
-winsituationactuallyoccurredbecauseDhakaWASAwantedtheirincomesandontheotherhand,poorpeoplewantedtheserviceandtheyimmediatelys
eetheeconomicadvantageofgettingDhakaWASAwatersupplybecausethatischeap,sotheyimmediatelybuyin.可知双赢的局面出现了,因为DhakaWASA需要他们的收入,而另一方
面,穷人想要这项服务,他们立即看到了获得DhakaWASA供水的经济优势,因为它很便宜,所以他们立即购买。由此可推知,DiabalokSingHa赞同Dhaka的穷人需要水。故选C。11.细节理解题。根据最后一段“Mystorywasjusttr

l.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,thatmakesothersthinkabouttheproblemsimilarly
.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-so
lvingprocess,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“Unfort

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

ngthecoralreefs.“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-

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Buttheyhadtogrowtothesizeof
acherrytomatobeforetheycouldbeused.“但它们必须长到樱桃番茄的大小才能被使用。”可知,seaurchinsthatlovedtodevourthealgae“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.Climatechangeandtheef

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.comreportsthattheEgyptianshadalreadybeendoingthisforawhilebeforeEuropefinall
ycaughtonin46BC,whenRomanEmperorJuliusCaesarandastronomerSosigenesputtheirheadstogethertocomeupwithwhatwenowcalltheJuliancalendar,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Forinsta
nce,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1
600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'sovercorrectionisitselfabitofanunder-correctio
n,sowe'llprobablyneedtoreevaluateourleapdaydesignagaininabout10,000years.(教皇8世格里高对凯撒公历的纠正本身就是一种有待改正,所以我们可能需要在10000年以后重新评估我们的闰日设计)可推测,格里高历
也不是最准确的。D.TheGregoriancalendarisnotyetthemostaccurate.(格里高历也不是最准确的)符合以上说法,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,ifwewantourcalendaryea
