【答案】21.D22.B23.C

【解析】

【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章是一则SNCF打折卡的促销信息，介绍了其优惠政策等。

[21题详解】

推理判断题。根据第一段“NEW:ThankstotheSNCFdiscountcard,youwillneverpaymorethan€39forashort

trip,€59foranintermediatetripand€79foralongtripinEurope,in2ndclassonadirectTGVINOUIand

INTERCITEStrain.（好消息：由于有了SNCF折扣卡，您在欧洲乘坐TGVINOUI和INTERCITES直达列车

的二等座，短途永远不会超过39欧元，中途旅行59欧元，长途旅行79欧元的价格）”结合文章是一则SNCF

打折卡的促销信息，介绍了其优惠政策等。可推知，这条信息的目的是销售打折卡。故选D。

【22题详解】

细节理解题。根据第——段UNEW:ThankstotheSNCFdiscountcard,youwillneverpaymorethan€39forashort

trip,€59foranintermediatetripand€79foralongtripinEurope,in2ndclassonadirectTGVINOUIand

INTERCITEStrain.（好消息：由于有了SNCF折扣卡，您在欧洲乘坐TGVINOUI和INTERCITES直达列车

的二等座，永远不会超过39欧元，中级旅行59欧元，长途旅行79欧元的价格）”可知，B选项“这对头等

座不起作用”正确。故选B。

aged4to11accompaniedbythecardholder（由持卡人陪同的一名4至11岁儿童可获减免60%）”可知，如果

一张从巴黎到伦敦的长途票需要花费200欧元，那么一位持有打折卡的成年人和他10岁的儿子需要支付

79+200X（l-60%）=159欧元。故选C。

【解析】

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了老人和儿子去市集上卖驴，先是一群妇女说应该让儿子骑上驴，

老人照做了。后来遇到一群老人，老人们指责儿子不应该骑驴，于是老人自己坐了上去，后来又遇到一群

妇女和孩子，指责老人骑驴，而儿子跟不上自己，于是二人一起坐了上去。最后一个市民指责他们都坐在

驴子上，驴子太受罪，于是老人艰难地把驴扛过了镇子入口附近的一座桥，结果驴子因为挣扎掉到了河里。

【24题详解】

细节理解题。根据倒数第二段"Theyhadnowalmostreachedthetown.4'pray,honestfriend,''saidacitizen,l4is

“那头驴是你自己的吗？”“是的，”老人回答。“哦，看你给他装东西的样子，”另一个说，“谁也不

会这么想。喂，你们两个驮这只可怜的牲口比他驮你们强多了。”于是，他带着儿子下来，把驴腿绑在一

起，在一根杆子的帮助下，艰难地把驴扛过了镇子入口附近的一座桥）”以及最后一段“Thisentertainingsight

broughtthepeopleincrowdstolaughatit,tillthedonkey,notlikingthenoisenorthestrangehandlingthathewas

subjectto,broketheropesthatboundhimandfallingoffthepole,fellintotheriver.（这一有趣的景象引来了成群

的人的嘲笑，直到驴子不喜欢这噪音和它所受的奇怪的处理，挣断了绑着它的绳子，从杆子上掉到河里）”

可知，老人的损失是他自己造成的。故选A。

【25题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段"Thisentertainingsightbroughtthepeopleincrowdstolaughatit,tillthedonkey,not

likingthenoisenorthestrangehandlingthathewassubjectto,broketheropesthatboundhimandfallingoffthepole,

fellintotheriver.（这一有趣的景象引来了成群的人的嘲笑，直到驴子不喜欢这噪音和它所受的奇怪的处理，

挣断了绑着它的绳子，从杆子上掉到河里）”结合文章主要讲述了老人和儿子去市集上卖驴，先是一群妇女

说应该让儿子骑上驴，老人照做了。后来遇到一群老人，老人们指责儿子不应该骑驴，于是老人自己坐了

上去，后来又遇到一群妇女和孩子，指责老人骑驴，而儿子跟不上自己，于是二人一起坐了上去。最后一

个市民指责他们都坐在驴子上，驴子太受罪，于是老人艰难地把驴扛过了镇子入口附近的一座桥，结果驴

子因为挣扎掉到了河里。可知，作者在他的故事中以合理到不正常逻辑顺序排列事件。故选B。

likingthenoisenorthestrangehandlingthathewassubjectto,broketheropesthatboundhimandfallingoffthepole,

fellintotheriver.（这一有趣的景象引来了成群的人的嘲笑，直到驴子不喜欢这噪音和它所受的奇怪的处理，

挣断了绑着它的绳子，从杆子上掉到河里）”可推知，驴子本来是用来驮人的，结果这个老人却要把驴子背

过桥，可推测驴在这个过程中感觉困惑。故选C。

【27题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章主要讲述了老人和儿子去市集上卖驴，先是一群妇女说应该让儿子骑上驴，老人照

做了。后来遇到一群老人，老人们指责儿子不应该骑驴，于是老人自己坐了上去，后来又遇到一群妇女和

【答案】28.D29.C30.B31.A

【解析】

【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了西方音乐中的12个音符。

【28题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段“Westernmusictypicallyuses12notes-C,D,E,F,G,AandB,plusfivefats（降调）and

equalsharps（升调）inbetween,whichare:Csharp/Dflat（they'rethesamenote,justnameddifferently）,Dsharp/Eflat,

Fsharp/Gflat,Gsharp/AflatandAsharp/Bflat.”（西方音乐通常使用12个音符——C、D、E、F、G、A和B,

外加5个介于两个音符之间的降调或升调：C升调/D降调（它们是同一个音符，只是名称不同）、D升调/E

降调、F升调/G降调、G升调/A降调和A升调/B降调。）可知，12个音符的正确排序为：C、C升调/D降调、

D、D升调/E降调、E、F、F升调/G降调、G、G升调/A降调、A、A升调/B降调、B。故选D。

【29题详解】

推理判断题。根据第五段“Wetypicallyusejust12notesinWesternmusicbecauseofthespacesorintervals

betweenthenotes."（在西方音乐中，我们通常只使用12个音符，因为音符之间有间隔或音程）及第六段第一

句"Piecesofmusicarefamiliarentirelybecauseoftheseintervals.（一些音乐听起来很熟悉完全是因为这些音

程。）可知，因为音符之间的间隔或音程不变，所以不管用那种曲调演凑同一首音乐听起来都是相似的。故

选C。

【30题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句"Talkingabout12notesinmusicgenerallyappliestomusicfromtheWestand

fromsomeotherpartsoftheworld,butcertainlyisn'tanexhaustivesystemforallmusic."（音乐中的这12个音符

通常适用于西方和世界其他地方的音乐，但肯定不是一个适用于所有音乐的详尽体系。）以及后文所列举的

其他国家对音符的划分可知，世界各地的音乐各不相同。故选B。

[31题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句"AHmelodies（旋律）andharmonyinWesternmusicistypicallybuiltfromjust12

notes.”（西方音乐中的所有旋律与和声通常是由12个音符组成的。）及后文对12个音符的介绍及讲解可知，

本文主要讲述的就是西方音乐中的12个音符。故选A。
