【答案】第1题:D

第2题:A

第3题:A

第4题:D

【解析】1.细节事实题。根据第一段的第二句“Thetraditionalviewsupposesthat…underthecontinents.传统的观点认为，当地球的上地幔长时间受到微力的作用会变成液体，以及海洋和大陆的温差在地球的地幔中足以产生对流，海洋中脊下的对流上升，大陆下的对流下降。”由此可知，是海洋与大陆的温差造成了板块的移动，所以选项D符合原文。

2.作者意图题。根据关键词“conveyorbelt”定位到第一段第三句“Theoretically,thisconvectionwouldcarrythecontinentalplatesalongasthoughtheywereonaconveyorbeltandwouldprovidetheforcesneededtoproducethesplitthatoccursalongtheridge.理论上来说，这种对流会带动大陆板块，就像在传送带上一样，并提供洋脊产生分裂所需的动力。”由此可知，作者把对流运动比喻成传送带，是为了说明对流运动产生的影响，所以选项A正确。

3.观点态度题。根据原文中所提及的“Thisviewmaybecorrect”以及“Ontheotherhand,thetheoryisimplausible（难以置信的）…”说明作者对传统观点的态度是持保留意见的怀疑，所以选项A正确。

4.细节事实题。根据题干关键信息“growingonbothsides”定位到第二段第三句“Thisplateisgrowingonbothsides.”这里的“this”即上文提及的“theMid-AtlanticRidgeandtheridgeintheIndianOcean”，所以选项D正确。

第4题:C

第5题:D

【解析】第1题:1.推理判断题。由第一段“Ithasthesamelook,thetypicalpattern,ofAmerica’stimelessracialconflict—whiteracismandblackprotest.校园种族矛盾与美国永恒的种族冲突的经典模式-白人种族主义与黑人抗议是相同的。”可知种矛盾在历史上有相同的模式。故C项正确。A项“人们误解了种族紧张的原因”以及B项“人们不理解种族紧张的原因”是对“Itwasnothardtoseeaftermyfirsttalkswithstudentsthatracialtensiononcampusisaproblemthatmisrepresentsitself.在我第一次与学生交谈后，不难看出校园里的种族紧张是一个误传自身的问题。”的曲解。D项文中未提及。

2.细节事实题。由第二段Butthecollegecampus,withitsstructuresofinteractionandadult-levelcompetition一thebigexam,thedorm,the“mixer”—isanothermatter.Ithinkcampusracismisbornoftherubbetweenracialdifferenceandasetting,thecampusitself,devotedtointeractionandequality.但大学校园,因其结构为社交和成人水平的竞争——大型考试，宿舍，“大量混合”是另一回事。我认为校园种族主义源于种族差异和校园环境之间的摩擦，校园本身致力于社交和平等。可知如今校园种族矛盾是源于社交和竞争，故D项正确。

3.推理判断题。Formembersofeachraceyoungadultscomingintotheirown,oftenawayfromhomeforthefirsttime…对于每一个不同种族的年轻人来说，他们都是第一次离开家来到大学…由此可知年轻人是第一次离开家进入大学。故C项正确。

4.推理判断题。由第二段“Formembersofeachraceyoungadultscomingintotheirown,oftenawayfromhomeforthefirsttimebringtothissiteoffreedom,exploration,andnow,today,equality,verydeepfearsandanxieties,notfullydevelopedfeelingsofracialshame,anger,andguilt.对于每一个不同种族的年轻人来说，他们都是第一次离开家来到大学,他们给这个自由，探索和平等的地方带来了深深的恐惧和焦虑，以及还未完全发展的种族羞耻感，愤怒和内疚感。”可知年轻人第一次进入大学时，他们带去了恐惧，愤怒，内疚等感情。故C项正确。

5.主旨大意题。本文主要分析了校园种族矛盾的原因，即在一个微型的社会里（校园里）种族平等使以前未解决的问题现在更加明显地暴露出来。故D项正确。
