【答案】4.D5.B6.C7.A

【解析】

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者由于疫情的原因，不得不经常待在家里面。周末的时候，一家人到户外一

个森林里散步游玩，在那里体验到了寂静的生活，感受到家人在一起的美好。

【4题详解】

细节理解题o根据第一段中“Wesqueezedourwaythroughmassivecrowdsthathadtraveledacrossthecountryto

praytotheVirginofGuadalupe,Mexico'spatronsaint.（我们挤过全国各地向墨西哥守护神瓜达卢佩圣母祈祷的

人群）”可知，人们从全国各地来到墨西哥城，目的是来向墨西哥守护神瓜达卢佩的圣母祈祷。故选D。

【5题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段“Theideaofbeingalonewaslaughable:Irememberoncelookingoutofmyoffice

window,pre-pandemic,andnotseeingasinglepersonontheblock.Irecallitvividlybecauseitseemedutterly

apocalyptic一anditneverhappenedagain.（独自一人的想法是可笑的：我记得有一次我从办公室的窗户往外

看，在流行病爆发前，我没有看到街区里有一个人。我记得很清楚，因为这似乎是完全的世界末日，而且

它再也没有发生过）”可知，作者再也没有看到过空荡荡、没有一个人的街区。故选B。

【6题详解】

推理判断题。根据第四段中“AndthenIrealizedwithashock:weYealone.Inacityofmillionswhereaquietnight

isofteninterruptedwithsoundsoftamaleorsweet-potatovendorswalkingthestreetswiththeirhigh-pitched

whistlesorrecordedsalespitches,wehadtransportedourselvesintoanotherkingdom.（然后我震惊地意识到:只

有我们俩。在这个拥有数百万人口的城市里，宁静的夜晚经常被玉米粉蒸肉或红薯小贩的尖叫声打断，他

们要么吹着尖锐的口哨，要么录下了推销的录音。我们仿佛置身于另一个王国）”可知，作者在LosDinamos

突然意识到他们享受宝贵的安静时刻。故选C。

7题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段"It'sareminderthatthereislifeallaroundme,evenifIcan'tspendtimemixingwith

others”它提醒着我，即使我不能花时间与他人相处，我周围也有生命存在）”可知，在森林中徒步旅行提醒

了作者，在疫情中我们不能花时间和别人相处，但我们有家人在一起。故选A。

C

【答案】8.C9.C10.B11.A

【解析】

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了关于新冠病毒的Delta变种的研究。Delta变种是冠状病毒变种

中能力最强、（传播）速度最快和适应性最强的。今年春天在印度首次发现了Delta变种。与原始病毒相比，

Delta病毒有大约15种不同的变异，其中两种突变可以帮助病毒逃脱我们制造的对抗它的抗体：另一种被称

为P681R的突变似乎有助于病毒进入我们的细胞。科学家说，对Delta变种的了解使得疫苗接种比以往任何

时候都重要。

【8题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段的内容"It'sabout60%moreeasilypassedfrompersontopersonthantheAlphaversion,

whichwasfirstidenlifiedintheUK.Whileasingleinfectedpersonmighthavespreadolderversionsofthevirusto

twoorthreeothers,number-calledthebasicreproductionnumber-mightbearoundsixforDelta,meaningthat,on

average,eachinfectedpersonspreadsthevirustosixothers.（与最初在英国发现的Alpha版本相比，它在人与人

之间的传播要容易60%»虽然一个感染者可能会把I日版本的病毒传播给两三个人，但Delta病毒的基本复制

数可能是6左右，这意味着，平均每个感染者会把病毒传播给另外6个人）”可知，Delta变种比Alpha变种

更容易在人与人之间传播，且感染Delta变种的个人能传染更多的人，由此可知，与Alpha变种相比，Delta

变种传播更容易、更快。故选C项。

【9题详解】

词义猜测题。分析可知，划线单词之后的同位语从句起到进一步解释说明该词的作用，"thataninfected

personwouldneedtobehospitalizedorcoulddiefromtheirinfection（被感染的人需要住院治疗或可能死于感

染）”，同时结合划线单词之前的动词"increasing"意为"增加/提高”可知，“theodds”应是指“被感染

者需要住院治疗或可能死于感染”这种情况发生的机率或可能性，与选项C“probability（可能性）”表达含

义一致。故选C项。

【10题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章第五段内容对于P681R突变的解释"Thismutationappearstohelpthevirusgetintoour

cells.Soit'smorelikelytobeintherightpositiontoinfectourcellsifwecomeintocontactwithit.（这种突变彳以乎

有助于病毒进入我们的细胞。所以如果我们接触到它，它更有可能在正确的位置感染我们的细胞。）”可知，

对于这种突变的解释，使用了不确定的词汇“appears（似乎）"，“likely（有可能）”，以及文章第六段内容

uScientistsaren'tsurewhatthesesupersizedsyncytiameanexactly,buttheyhavesometheories.（科学家们不确定

这些超大的合胞体到底是什么意思，但他们有一些理论）”可知，科学家目前对这种突变形成的超大合胞体

无法解释，由此可推知，对于这种突变还需要进一步的研究。故选B项。

【11题详解】

推理判断题。通过阅读文章内容可知，文章第一段首句^TheDeltavariantisthemostable,fastestandfittestof

thecoronavirusvariants（Delta变种是冠状病毒变种中能力最强、（传播）速度最快和适应性最强的）”提出了文

章的核心话题“冠状病毒Delta变种”，且在该段末尾用设问句的方式该段末尾句uSowhatmakesthevariant

sohorrible?（那么是什么让变种如此恐怖呢？）”引出后文内容，从而对这个问题展开解释，介绍了Della变

种的可怕之处。由此可推知，文章的目的应是对Delta变种进行解释。故选A项。

【答案】12.D13.D14.B15.C

【解析】

【分析】本文为一篇议论文。作者就关于机器人能否替代人类劳动力阐述了自己的观点，并持有乐观的态

度。

【12题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章第一段关键句"Walmarthasgivenupafive-yearefforttointroducestock-checkingrobots

toitsstores.Staff,whoevidentlydothejobbetter,canbreatheasighofrelief.（沃尔玛放弃了在其门店引入库存盘

点机器人的五年努力。显然工作做得更好的员工可以松一口气了）”及该段最后一句"Distantcontrolof

machineryisincreasinglycommoninthecollectionofnaturalresources,reducinglaborcostsandimprovingsafetyin

extremeenvironments.（在收集自然资源、降低劳动力成本和提高极端环境下的安全性方面，机械的远程控制

越来越普遍）”可知，作者通过沃尔玛放弃使用清点库存的机器人的例子，继而引出虽然沃尔玛停止使用机

器人，但总体上看使用机器人是大势所趋的观点，即，作者运用它作为反面例子引出这个话题。故选D项。

【13题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段关键句"Thesafetyadvantageofhavingfewerpeopleonrigsisobvious,

especiallyduringapandemic.（钻井平台上人员较少的安全优势显而易见，尤其是在大流行期间）”及"Equinor,

theStatoilofNorway,saysthemoveaddedmorethan$212mtoearningswithinayearofitsriggoingdigital.The

biggestsavingscomefromshrunkenpayrolls.（挪威国家石油公司Equinor表示，在钻机数字化的一年内，此举

为公司带来了超过2.12亿美元的收益。最大的储蓄来自缩减的工资）”可知，石油行业自动化的优势包括

降低疾病传播风险和通过降低工资成本提高收入。故选D项。

【14题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段关键句uRobotsaresettoreplacehumansinarangeofphysicallytough,

repetitivejobs,fromorderpickinginwarehousestoliftingtheoldandweak.（机器人将取代人类从事一系列体力

繁重、重复性的工作，从仓库的订单采摘到扶老人和弱者）”及最后一段关键句"Businessesthatautomateare

stillsaferinvestmentsthanonesthatdonot.（自动化业务仍然比不自动化的业务更安全）”并结合上文内容可

知，作者认为自动化在商业领域前景广阔。故选B项。

【15题详解】

主旨大意题。根据文章倒数第二段关键句"Oilrigshavebeenontheautomationmarchformostofthepast

decade.Remotecontrolroomscanmanageeverythingfromdrillingtomining.（在过去十年的大部分时间里，石油

钻井平台一直处于自动化进程中。远程控制室可以管理从钻井到采矿的一切）”；"Thesafetyadvantageof

havingfewerpeopleonrigsisobvious,especiallyduringapandemic.（钻井平台上人员较少的安全优势显而易

见，尤其是在大流行期间）”及"Thebiggestsavingscomefromshrunkenpayrolls.（最大的储蓄来自缩减的工

资）”并结合全文内容可知，作者认为工业自动化成为了一种趋势，会带来各种好处。故选C项。

G.IleftmycomfortableandfamiliarhometohaveanunusualadventureinArizona

【答案】16.G17.B18.D19.F20.E

【解析】

【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者离开舒适而熟悉的家乡前往异地生活，从开始的不适应，到挑战自

我，慢慢融入当地生活，到志愿参加帮助残疾人献爱心活动和关爱流浪动物的经历，让他变得有爱心、耐

心、懂得感恩、有决心以及对生活有激情。

【16题详解】

根据前句"Ispentmymostinfluential10monthsofmylifeasajunior.（我一生中最有影响力的10个月是在大

三度过的）”可知，接下来应该讲述到那儿的具体经历。所以选择项G',1leftmycomfortableandfamiliarhome

tohaveanunusualadventureinArizona（我离开了我舒适熟悉的家，去亚利桑那州进行一次不寻常的冒险。）”

符合上下文语境。尤其后句的There正好指代前面的地点inArizona。故选G。

【17题详解】

根据前文“Everyday,Istruggledtofitinthenewsocialenvironment,bulstillexperiencedsomanyblows.I

sufferedfromracialdifferencesBesidestheheavilypollutedairsometimesalmostchokedmetodeath.（每一天，

我都在努力适应新的社会环境，但还是经历了很多打击。我受到种族差异的折磨，而且污染严重的空气有

时几乎把我窒息而死。）”及下文具体讲述三个方面的受挫可知，除了要承受种族差异，忍受严重空气污

染外，作者还需应对各种社会冲突。所以选择项B“Ihadtocopewithsocialconflictsaswell（我还得处理社

会冲突。）”符合上下文语境。故选B。

【18题详解】

根据前句**DuringthesummervacationIdecidedtobeavolunteeratanEasterSealscampwherepeoplewith

specialneedsrequiredassistancebecauseofdisabilitiesandimprovedtheirabilitytodothingsontheirown.（在暑

假期间，我决定成为复活节海豹营的一名志愿者，在那里，有特殊需要的人需要帮助，因为残疾和提高他

们自己的能力。）”可知，作者做这个工作肯定很辛苦，很费力，需要耐心。所以选择项D“Itwasthemost

tiringjobI'deverexperienced（这是我经历过的最累人的工作）”符合上下文语境。故选D。

【19题详解】

本段讲述的是作者关爱流浪动物的爱心之举。根据前句"Overthecourseoftenmonths,Iprovidedabout50
