B.can;can’tC.might;mustn’t D.could;shouldn’t【答案】B【解析】【详解】考查情态动词。句意：在TikTok上模仿别人的行为可能非常危险，所以你再小心也不为过。根据句意，“beverydangerous”是一种推测，用情态动词can表示“可能”，表推测；因为可能非常危险，所以要非常小心，can’tbetoocareful意为“再小心也不为过；越小心越好”，用否定的形式表达肯定的意思。故选B项。Ⅲ.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分)阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36~55题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。I’man18-year-oldpremedicalstudent,tallandgood-looking,withtwoshortstorybooksandquiteanumberofessaystomycredit.WhyamIsingingsuch____16____ofmyself?Justtoexplainthattheattainmentofself-pridecomesfromagreatdealofself-love,andto____17____it,onemustfirstlearntoacceptoneselfasoneis.Thatwas___18___mystrugglebegan.Bornand____19____inAfrica,IhadalwaystakenmyAfricanoriginasa(n)____20____.Myself-dislikewasfurther____21____whenmyfamilyhadtomovetoNorway,whereIattendedahighschool.Comparedtoallthewhitegirlsaroundme,withtheirgoldenhairanddelicatelips,I,ablackgirl,hadcurly-hairandfull,redlips.Mynoseoftenhadathinsheetofsweatonit,___22___theweatherwaslike.Ijustwantedto____23____myselfinmyshellcrying“I’msodifferent!”Whatalso____24____tomyself-dislikewasmyoccasionalstuttering(口吃),whichhadweakenedmyself-confidence.Italways_____25_____betweenmeandanyfineopportunity.I’dtakenitasanexcusetoavoidanypublicspeakingsessions,andunknowinglyletitruleoverme._____26_____,asIgrewolder,therecameaturningpoint.Onedayawhitegirlcaughtmyeyeontheschoolbuswhenshesuddenlyturnedback.Tomy_____27_____,shehadathinsheetofsweatonhernosetoo,anditwasinNovember!“Wow,”Iwhisperedtomyself,“thisisn’tageneticdisorder_____28_____.It’sperfectlynormal.”Dayslater,mylifetookanothertwist(转折).Searchingtheinternetforstutteringcures,Iaccidentallylearnedthatsuch_____29_____peopleasIsaacNewtonandWinstonChurchillalsostuttered.Iwasgreatlyrelievedandthenanideasuddenlyhitme—ifI’msmart,Ishouldn’tallowmystutteringtostandbetweenmeandmysuccess.Inotherwords,stutteringisno_____30_____tosuccess.Another____31____tomyself-confidencecamedayslaterasIwaswatchingthenewsaboutOprahWinfrey,thefamoustalkshowhostandwriter—she’sblacktoo!WheneverIthinkofherstoryandmy_____32_____dislikeofmycolor,I’mpracticallyfilledwithshame.Today,I’vegrowntoacceptwhatIam_____33_____pride;itsimplygivesmefeelingofuniqueness.Theideaofself-lovehas____34____awholenewmeaningforme:there’salwayssomethingfantasticaboutus,andwhatweneedtodoislearnto_____35_____it.16.A.poems

D.anacademicjournal【答案】36.B37.D38.A【解析】【分析】本文是说明文，是关于美国康奈尔大学文理学院选修课程的介绍。【36题详解】细节理解题。根据TheClassRosterisupdatedfrequently部分的介绍中“ToplanyourclassesoveryourfouryearsatCornell,usetheCoursesofStudy.”可知，如果要在康奈尔大学计划长期的课程，如四年的课程，使用“theCoursesofStudy”。故选B项。【37题详解】推理判断题。文章中InnovativeLearning部分的介绍中提到“YoureducationatCornellwillextendfarbeyondtheclassroom.Youcanjoinafacultymember’sresearchteamoncampus,conductfieldstudyresearchindifferentstatesorspendasemesterwithCornellinWashingtonDC.Youcouldstudyabroadinoneofmorethan85countriesordevelopyourownresearchprojectthroughindependentstudy.(你在康奈尔的教育将远远超出课堂的范围。你可以在校园里加入教师的研究团队，在不同的州进行实地研究，或者在华盛顿的康奈尔大学度过一个学期。你可以在超过85个国家的其中一个学习，或者通过独立学习发展你自己的研究项目)”由此可以推断，如果你参加创新课堂项目，你的学习将延伸到课堂范围以外，你会有在课堂以外的地方学习的优势。故选D项。【38题详解】推理判断题。通读全文，文章是介绍康奈尔大学文理学院的选修课程。因此可能是出自于康奈尔大学的网站。故选A项。BAcouplecarvedoutalifeonasmallrockisland,amongtheseabirds.TheBassRockisasmallvolcanicislandjustofftheeastcoastofScotland.RemarkableintheScottishimaginationforitslandformandlocationintheFirthofForthnearEdinburgh,theislandhashadathinandintermittent(断断续续)humanpopulationacrossthecenturies.Itsmostnotableandsustainedinhabitantsarethenortherngannetsthathavelivedontheislandthroughoutrecordedhistory.Withapopulationofroughly150,000birds,theirhomeisthelargestintheworld.TheEnglishnaturalistJuneNelsonisoneofthefewpeoplewhohavelivedontheBassRock.Forthreeyearsintheearly1960s.sheandherlatehusband,theornithologistBryanNelson.whowasresearchinggannetsattheUniversityofOxford,madetheislandtheirtemporaryhome.Livingandworkingoutofasmallchurch,theydevotedthemselvestoobservingandrecordingthebehaviorsandecologyofthebirds.Thethen-newly-marriedhadlittlecontactwiththeoutsideworld,butledahappylifetogether.IntheshortdocumentaryLifeontheRocks,NelsonrevisitsherfullandfocusedyearsontheBassRock.Combiningcinematicblack-and-whiteshotsoftheislandwithmusic.theUKdirectorGeorgePrettycreatesavividaccountofNelson’sunforgettabletimethere,aswellasheremotionalreturn.MiningNelson’smemoriesandoldphotographs,thefilmexploreshowthehusband-and-wifeteamfoundhappinessonthisuniquepatchofEarth,andamongitsmanybirds.But,morethanjustafondnessforthepast,Nelsoncommunicatesanurgencytoprotecttheplummeting(暴跌)globalsea-birdpopulation,whichhasdeclinedby70%inherlifetime,asking“Whatrighthavewetodeprive(剥夺)futuregenerationsofthiswonderfulplace?”39.WhatdoweknowabouttheBassRockfromParagraph1?A.Itisownedbyacouple.
