3．D本文是应用文。文章介绍了一项面向在科廷大学就读的国际学生的假期活动。1．细节理解题。根据Schedule部分“ThisactivityisonlyavailabletointernationalstudentswhohaveappliedforacourseatCurtinUniversitynow.（这项活动仅适用于申请科廷大学课程的国际学生。）”可知，该活动针对的是科廷大学的在读国际学生。故选D。2．细节理解题。根据ImportantInformation部分中的“…goingagainsttheChartermayresultinyourremovalfromtheactivity.（……违反章程可能会导致您退出活动。）”，违反科廷大学学生章程的行为可能导致你被取消活动资格。故选B。3．推理判断题。根据文章内容，尤其是文章标题“InternationalSummerProgram:SpidermanatHoytsCinemaCarousel（国际暑期节目：霍伊茨电影院旋转木马的蜘蛛侠）”及第一段内容“JoinusforanafternoonofsuperheroesasyouwatchSpider-Man:NoWayHomeatHoyts,andcatchupwithotherCurtininternationalstudentsalsostayinginPerthoverthesummerbreak.（在Hoyts观看《蜘蛛侠：回家无路》的同时，与我们一起度过一个超级英雄的下午，并在暑假期间与其他同样留在珀斯的科廷国际学生见面。）”可知，本文主要介绍了一项面向在科廷大学就读的国际学生的暑期活动，应该是一则活动公告。故选D。4．D

5．B

6．C

7．D这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了利用先进的温室BioPod，可以给宇航员提供生存用的食物。4．词句猜测题。根据第一段最后一句“Thatcanonlyhappenifinnovativeandsafewaysaredeveloped.”（只有开发出创新和安全的方法，才能做到这一点。）提到了在月球上建立基地或者送人类到火星上的成功的条件，说明现在的这种条件还没实现，因而可推测，划线词所在句的含义为“在月球上建立基地或者送人类到火星上（的成功的条件）正在接近实现”，approaching“正在临近的”，符合题意，故选D。5．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Theyhavedevelopedanadvancedsystemthatcangrowplantsanywhere,eveninspace.Theycalltheirartificialintelligence(AI)managedgreenhousesBioPods,andtheyaredesignedtobeveryefficient.”（他们已经开发出一种先进的系统，可以在任何地方种植植物，甚至在太空中。他们把自己的人工智能(AI)管理的温室称为“BioPods”，而且设计得非常高效。）可知，BioPods是新研发的一种先进的温室系统。故选B。6．细节理解题。根据第三段中“AccordingtoInterstellarLabs,BioPod-grownplantsareupto300timesmoreproductivethantraditionallygrownplants,usingonlyasmallamountofwater.”（根据星际实验室的数据，BioPod种植的植物比传统种植的植物多产300倍，只需要少量的水。）可知，利用先进的温室BioPod种植的作物产量高。故选C。7．主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段中“Spaceisdangerous.Buthumaninnovationhasallowedpeopletoexplorethisdeadlyenvironmentfordecades.Withintheprotectionofaspacestation,astronautshaveenoughair,foodandwatertocompletemissionsofayearorlonger.”（太空很危险。但是人类的创新已经让人们探索这个致命的环境几十年了。在空间站的保护下，宇航员有足够的空气、食物和水来完成一年或更长时间的任务。）提到了人类在探索太空中，空间站可以为宇航员的生存提供根本的保障。第二段中“Onecompany,InterstellarLabs,believestheyhavecreatedasystemthatcansolvethefoodproblem.Theyhavedevelopedanadvancedsystemthatcangrowplantsanywhere,eveninspace.Theycalltheirartificialintelligence(AI)managedgreenhousesBioPods,andtheyaredesignedtobeveryefficient.Infact,InterstellarLabsclaimsthatBioPodsreducetheamountoflandandwaterneededtoproducefoodby99percent.”（一家名为星际实验室的公司相信他们已经创建了一个系统来解决食物问题。他们已经开发出一种先进的系统，可以在任何地方种植植物，甚至在太空中。他们把自己的人工智能(AI)管理的温室称为“BioPods”，而且设计得非常高效。事实上，星际实验室声称BioPods可以将生产食物所需的土地和水资源减少99%。）讲述了一家名为星际实验室的公司研发了一个先进的温室系统BioPods，这个系统的优越性是可以将生产食物所需的土地和水资源减少99%）；第三段中“AccordingtoInterstellarLabs,BioPod-grownplantsareupto300timesmoreproductivethantraditionallygrownplants,usingonlyasmallamountofwater.”（根据星际实验室的数据，BioPod种植的植物比传统种植的植物多产300倍，只需要少量的水。）可知，利用先进的温室BioPod种植的作物产量高。和下文对BioPod的优越性的说明，本文主要讲述了利用先进的温室BioPod，可以给宇航员提供生存用的食物。故选D。8．C

9．A

10．D

11．B这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了鱼为何要跃出水面，一些人认为是因为情绪的激发和要去除寄生虫，但作者认为它们可能是为了享受快乐。8．推理判断题。由第一段中的“Dolphinstakeadvantageofthebehavior,formingacircleandcatchingthefrightenedfishesinmidair.”（海豚利用这种行为，围成一个圈，在半空中抓住受惊的鱼。）可知，海豚能够巧妙地吃掉跃出水面的鱼，说明它们很聪明。故选C项。9．细节理解题。由第二段中的“Theydoitinschools（鱼群）ofhundreds.”（蝸鲼成群跳跃。）和第三段中的“Iwatchedseveralschoolsoffiftyormoremullets（鲻鱼）movinginbeautifulformation.”（我看到几个由50只或更多的鲻鱼组成的鱼群以美丽的队形移动。）可知，蝠鲼和鲻鱼都是成群地跳跃。故选A项。10．推理判断题。由第四段中的“Itishardtoimaginetheywillfeelanyfresherwhenbackinwater.”（很难想象当它们回到水里时会感觉更新鲜。）可知，作者认为第四段提到的猜想是值得怀疑的。故选D项。11．推理判断题。由第二段中的“ButIthinkthattheraysareenjoyingthemselves.”（但我觉得它们很享受光线。）和最后一段中的“GordonM.Burghardtrecentlypublishedaccountsofadozentypesoffishesleapingrepeatedly,sometimesoverfloatingobjects—sticks,plants,sunningturtle—fornoclearreasonotherthanentertainment.”（GordonM.Burghardt最近发表了一系列关于十几种鱼类反复跳跃的报道，有时是在漂浮的物体上，树枝，植物，晒海龟，除了娱乐之外，没有其他明确的原因。）可知，作者认为鱼跃出水面可能是为了享受快乐。故选B项。推理判断题不仅要求考生读懂文章中的每个句子的意思还要推理它们之间的关系，结合自己的生活常识和经验，再通过逻辑推理和判断，理解文章的言外之意，从而揭示文章的深层涵义。推理判断题的答案不可能在文章中直接找到，因此推理时我们务必要忠于原文，在文章中寻找并确定可推论的依据，即：已知部分——推论的前提，从中推测出未知部分——推理的结论，切忌妄加评论，把自己的观点当成作者的观点。如在第1小题中，第一段中的“Dolphinstakeadvantageofthebehavior,formingacircleandcatchingthefrightenedfishesinmidair.”，是已知部分，通过结合原文进行合理地逻辑判断，可以得出海豚能够巧妙地吃掉跃出水面的鱼，说明它们很聪明。故选C项。12．B

13．D

14．C

15．D试题分析：本文介绍了一个自然奇观维多利亚瀑布（VictoriaFalls）。12．B细节理解题。根据文章最后一段最后的内容ContactAddressesTouristCentre,Livingstone,ZambiaTel:(03)321404E-mail:zntb@zamnet.zmWebsite:。可知这篇文章的作者应该是一名导游。故选B。13．D推理判断题。根据文章第一句RevealedtotheworldbythefamousBritishexplorer,DrDavidLivingstone,in1855,theVictoriaFallsareoneofAfrica’sbest-knownnaturalwonders.可知，维多利亚瀑布是一位英国的探险家发现。故选D。14．C推理判断题。根据第四段对于看维多利亚瀑布的介绍，有如下几种方法ViewingthefallsfromtheZambianside；ThefallscanalsobeviewedfromtheBoilingPot；Itcanbecrossedonfootforexcellentviewsofthefalls；Itisalsopossibletoseethefallsfromaplane.故答案为4种，选C。15．A写作目的题。通读全文很明显可看出，本文介绍了一个著名的自然奇观，从最后一句ContactAddressesTouristCentre,Livingstone,ZambiaTel:(03)321404E-mail:zntb@zamnet.zmWebsite:给出的旅游中心的地址，电话和联系方式可看出这可能是一位导游写的，通过这样的介绍想吸引游客来参观维多利亚瀑布，故答案为D。考点：考察广告布告类短文阅读。对于写作目的题，一定要在理解全文意义的基础上找到文章中的关键信息句子。比如这篇文章通读全文很明显可看出，本文介绍了一个著名的自然奇观VictoriaFalls，这样的话小题35很容易选择错误的答案A，但是从最后一句ContactAddressesTouristCentre,Livingstone,ZambiaTel:(03)321404E-mail:zntb@zamnet.zmWebsite:给出的旅游中心的地址，电话和联系方式可看出这可能是一位导游写的，通过这样的介绍目的是想吸引游客来参观维多利亚瀑布，故答案为D。16．D

19．E

20．A这是一篇说明文，文章解释了为什么文学如此重要。16．根据空后一句“Theyalsoencourageimaginationandcreativity.(它们还鼓励想象力和创造力。)”中的关键词also可知，空处也是描述文学的作用，D项“经典文学作品是思想的食粮。”符合语境。故选D项。17．根据本段首句“Someofthegreatliteraryworksprovidesocietywiththeguidingprinciplesoflife.(一些伟大的文学作品为社会提供了生活的指导原则。)”可知，此处是描述文学作品对社会的影响，空前一句“WorksbypoetslikeHomer,Plato,Sappho,Horaceandmanymorearetimeless.(荷马、柏拉图、萨福、贺拉斯等诗人的作品是永恒的。)”列举了一些伟大的作家的作品，空处应是接着描述他们作品的影响力，F项“它们总是逗乐读者，并将继续这样做。”符合语境，F项中的They指代前一句中的Works。故选F项。18．根据本段首句“Therearealsogreatworksinchildren’sliterature.”可知，本段是介绍儿童文学的影响，空前一句“Aesop,EnidBlyton,andMarkTwainaresomeofthemostwidelypopularchildren’sauthors.(伊索、伊妮德·布莱顿和马克·吐温都是最受欢迎的儿童文学作家)”列举了一些儿童文学作家，C项“他们丰富了许多人的童年。”符合语境，与本段儿童文学主题一致，C项中的They指代前一句中的“Aesop,EnidBlyton,andMarkTwain”。故选C项。19．根据空前一句“Butthestudyofliteraturecannotberestrictedtoonlystudyinglanguages.(但是文学研究不能仅仅局限于语言研究。)”及空后一句“Adegreeinlanguageandliteratureperhapscan'tprovideonewitheverythingliteraturecanoffer.(一个语言文学学位也许不能提供文学所能提供的一切。)”可知，文学范围很广，不能仅限于语言研究，E项“事实上，文学不能局限于一门教育课程。”与此处语意一致，符合语境。故选E项。20．空处位于句首，是段落主题句，结合本段内容“Greatliteraryandpoeticworkshelpapersontakeacloserlookatthedifferentaspectsofliving.Inmanyways,literature,initsdifferentforms,canchangeone’sattitudetowardsliving.(伟大的文学和诗歌作品可以帮助人们更深入地观察生活的各个方面。在很多方面，文学，以其不同的形式，可以改变一个人的生活态度。)”可知，本段讲述文学对生活的影响，A项“文学有助于理解生活”符合语境。故选A项。21．C
