答案和解析1~3.【答案】C、A、B【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据第三段的DigitalArtClasstakesplaceinMelbourneMuseum'sLearningLabStudio.（数码艺术课在墨尔本博物馆的学习实验室工作室进行。）可知，在墨尔本博物馆上数码艺术课。故选C。

（2）细节理解题。根据第四段的Simplybringyourcreativity–allequipmentisprovided.（只需发挥您的创造力所有设备均已提供。）可知，此课程提供所有设备，不必带ipad上课。故选A。

（3）推理判断题。根据文章大标题WHAT'SON

以及最后一段If

you

would

like

to

explore

the

Melbourne

Museum

before

the

class，please

click

the

button

below

and

ensure

you

book

a

ticket

beforehand.（如果你想在上课前参观墨尔本博物馆，请点击下面的按钮并确保提前订票。）可知，这种形式最有可能出现在网页上，因此推断文章最有可能来自网页。故选B。

本文是应用文，介绍了墨尔本博物馆的数码艺术课程的内容，时间及票价。

阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释。考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点。

4~7.【答案】D、C、A、B【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段Youcanseedeer，largewaterbuffalo，smallmice，peacocks，eagles，monkeysandmuchmoreanimals.（你可以看到鹿，大水牛，小老鼠，孔雀，鹰，猴子和更多的动物）可知，巴鲁兰国家公园是野生动物生活的好地方。故选D。

（2）细节理解题。根据第三段Soeachofuswasofferedastickbytherangers（护林员）.Theytaughtusthatwhenthemonkeysweretooaggressivewemustliftthestick.Anditworkedperfectly.（所以护林员给了我们每人一根棍子。他们告诉我们，当猴子太有攻击性时，我们必须举起棍子。这很管用）可知，护林员给作者一家棍子是为了让他们赶走不友好的猴子。故选C。

（3）细节理解题。根据第四段Itwaspossiblethathungryanimalsmightcomeclosetousandtakeusastheirdinner.Westartedtofeelscaredandquickenedoursteps.（饥饿的动物可能会靠近我们，把我们当作它们的晚餐。我们开始感到害怕，加快了脚步）可知，作者一家加快脚步是因为他们害怕被野兽袭击。故选A。

（4）推理判断题。通读全文可知作者讲述了他们一家人在印度尼西亚的巴鲁兰国家公园游览的经历。所以作者写这篇文章的目的是分享她在巴鲁兰国家公园的经历。故选B。

本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了他们一家人在印度尼西亚的巴鲁兰国家公园游览的经历。

阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释。考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点。

8~11.【答案】A、C、B、C【解析】（1）词句猜测题。根据文章第一段However，recentresearchintoanimalsshowsthatanimalsarecontinuouslydesigninginnovativemethodstofinishtheirtasks.（然而，最近对动物的研究表明，动物在不断地设计和创新新的方法来完成它们的任务。）可知，动物们在完成任务方面同人类一样是在不断创新的，副词however表示前后意思相反，所以划线词所在句子想要表达的意思是人们一直以来以为动物在行为方面是远远落后于人类发展的，即动物行为与人类发展之间存在很大的差距，所以划线词gulf的意思与A项"Difference（差距）"意思相近。A.Difference.不同；B.Conflict.冲突；C.Balance.平衡；D.Connection.连接。故选A。

（2）推理判断题。根据文章第二段Research

shows

that

animals

too

can

be

creative.By

inventing

new

behavioral

patterns

and

adjusting

their

behavior

to

new

contexts，as

well

as

to

changes

in

social

and

ecological

environments，researchers

show

that

animal

innovation

too

can

be

diverse.（研究表明，动物也有创造力。通过发明新的行为模式，调整它们的行为以适应新的环境，以及社会和生态环境的变化，研究人员表明，动物的创新也可以是多样化的。）可知研究表明，动物的创新也可以是多样化的，而后文为了证明这一点举了两个例子猩猩和鲜鱼海鸥，而这也就说明了猩猩和鲜鱼海鸥在以不同的方式进行创新。故选C项。

（3）推理判断题。根据文章第四段Their

broad

diets

and

complex

forms

of

learning

are

also

insightful.They

indicate

an

evolutionary

strategy

that

gave

them

new

solutions

to

life's

challenges.（它们广泛的饮食和复杂的学习形式也很有见地。它们表明了一种进化策略，为它们提供了应对生活挑战的新方法。）可知动物的创造力代表了一种进化策略，而这种进化使得动物们更加灵活地适应环境。故选B项。

（4）推理判断题。根据文章最后一段However，even

if

these

animals

show

innovativeness，they

do

not

have

the

ability

to

improve

upon

solutions

of

others.Unless

they

share

information

accurately

and

copy

each

other's

inventions.their

creative

inventions

are

likely

to

vanish

before

they

can

be

innovated

further.This

ability

can

be

managed

only

by

humans，for

we

are

able

to

build

on

shared

knowledge.（然而，即使这些动物表现出创新能力，它们也没有能力改进其它动物的解决方案。除非它们准确地共享信息并复制彼此的发明。它们的创造性发明很可能在进一步创新之前就消失了。这种能力只能由人类来管理，因为我们能够建立在共享知识的基础上。）可知动物不能像人类那样共享知识，也就意味着它们不能改进其它动物的解决方案，所以最后一段主要讲的是动物不能改进它们的创造力。A.Their

ability

to

share

information

accurately.他们准确分享信息的能力；B.Their

willingness

to

learn

from

each

other.他们互相学习的意愿；C.Their

inability

to

take

creativity

forward.他们无法发挥创造力；D.Their

unwillingness

to

cooperate

effectively.他们不愿有效合作。故选C项。

这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是研究发现动物并不像人类一直以来所认为的那样与人类的发展有着巨大的差距，实际上动物也是不断地通过创新来完成它们的任务的，而这一点进一步提高了它们适应环境的能力。

一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。

阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。

二、看题干，带着问题读文章。

首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。

三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。

在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。

四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。

猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。

12~15.【答案】C、A、D、B【解析】（1）推理判断题。根据第一段This

fall，students

at

the

University

of

Massachusetts

found

a

new

menu

at

their

canteens：the

"diet

fora

cooler

planet"

menu.This

meant

herb-roasted

lamb，raised

with

a

carbon-friendly

approach.It

included

sweet

potatoes

that

had

been

picked

from

a

local

farm's

field.The

options

were

plant-heavy，locally

grown，and

involved

little

or

no

packaging.（今年秋天，马萨诸塞大学的学生们在他们的食堂里发现了一份新菜单："为了更凉爽的星球的饮食"菜单。这意味着香草烤羊肉，以碳友好的方式饲养。其中包括从当地农场采摘的甘薯。选择是植物重，当地种植，并涉及很少或没有包装。）和第二段中的"We

wanted

to

let

students

participate

in

climate

action

by

making

choices

about

their

food，"

says

Kathy

Wicks，sustainability

director

for

UMass

Dining.（"我们想让学生通过选择食物来参与气候行动，"马萨诸塞大学餐饮部可持续发展主管凯西•威克斯（KathyWicks）表示。）可知，马萨诸塞大学推出新菜单的目的是提高学生的低碳生活意识，故选C。

（2）推理判断题。根据第二段中的IncreasinglyAmerican

consumers

and

institutions

are

thinking

about

how

their

food

choices

impact

climate

change.For

many，small

choices

at

the

grocery

store

and

restaurant

can

be

more

accessible

than

big-ticket

options

like

buying

a

fuel-efficient

car.（越来越多的美国消费者和机构正在思考他们的食物选择如何影响气候变化。对于许多人来说，在杂货店和餐馆做出的小选择比买节能汽车这样的高价选择更容易获得。）可知，食物选择影响气候变化，比起节能汽车等昂贵的物品来说，食物选择是人们更容易做到的，由此可推知，食物选择对全球变暖意义重大。故选A。

（3）细节理解题。根据第三段中的"If，on

average，Americans

cut

1/4

pound

of

beef

per

week

from

their

diet，it's

like

taking

10

million

cars

off

the

road

a

year，"

says

Sujatha

Bergen，directorof

health

campaigns

for

the

Natural

Resources

Defense

Council.Food

waste

ranks

third

among

climate

solutions.（"如果美国人平均每周从他们的饮食中减少1/4磅牛肉，这就相当于每年减少1000万辆汽车上路，"自然资源保护委员会健康运动主任SujathaBergen说。）可知，牛肉对减少碳排放量有很大的影响。故选D。

（4）标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是第三段中的Small

changes

in

eating

habits

may

make

a

big

difference.Studies

point

to

the

food

system

as

a

significant

cause

of

global

warming.（饮食习惯的微小改变可能会带来很大的不同。研究指出，食物系统是全球变暖的一个重要原因。）和最后一段中的People

are

beginning

to

understand

that

their

food

choices

have

a

big

impact

on
