【解析】

【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了一驾飞机因引擎出故障坠落在高速公路上，正准备开车回家的Meffert差点被撞，他目睹了意外的全过程，并救出了困在飞机上的夫妻两人。

【详解】1.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Oneofthetwoenginesonhis1975Cessnahadfailed,andhewasnowonacollisioncoursewithoneofthebusiesthighwaysinAmerica-Interstate405,justsouthofLosAngeles-andtherewasnostoppingit.(他那架1975年的塞斯纳飞机上的两个引擎中有一个坏了，他正在与米国最繁忙的高速公路之一——洛杉矶以南的405号州际公路——发生碰撞，而且无法阻止。)”可知事故的原因是其中一个引擎坏了。故选C。

2.推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Theplaneknockedintothecenterhighway,poppedupafewfeet,andthenhitthefrontofMeffert’sSUV.(飞机撞到上都高速公路上，突然上升了几英尺，然后撞上了梅菲特的SUV前部。)”可知，飞机撞上了上都高速公路，弹起了几英尺，然后把Meffert的越野车的前部撞了一下，因此它撞到了车的一部分。故选A。

3.细节理解题。根据文章第四段“BythetimeMeffertreachedtheaircraft,partofthefuselage(机身)wasonfireandJanan,whowascoveredinblood,wasonthewingtryingtopullherhusbandfromthewreck.Meffert,afraidtheplanewouldexplode,guidedhertosafetybehindit.(当Meffert到达飞机时，机身的一部分着火了，Janan浑身是血，在机翼上试图把她的丈夫从残骸中拉出来。梅菲特担心飞机会爆炸，把她带到飞机后面安全的地方。)”可知，当Meffert到达飞机时，机身的机身着火了，满身是血的Janan正在试图把她的丈夫从残骸中拉出来。Meffert担心飞机会爆炸，把她带到飞机后面安全的地方。故选D。

4.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““Iplayallthewhat-ifs—goingslower,goingfaster.Itcouldhavebeeninaverydifferentsituation,”MefferttoldFox8.“Wejusthadalotofangels.”(“我做了所有能做的——更慢一点，更快一点。它可能是一个非常不同的情况，”Meffert告诉福克斯8频道。“我们有很多天使。”)”可推断，Meffer认为事故的结果是幸运的。故选B。

【答案】8.C9.D10.A11.B

【解析】

【导语】本文是说明文。介绍在全球化发展的背景下，人工智能也能应用于美学领域。

【详解】1.词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“Butnow,theInternet,technologyandsocialmediahavecreatedaflatworld.Fashioncanbeaccessedfromanywhere.(但是现在，互联网、科技和社交媒体已经创造了一个平坦的世界。时尚可以从任何地方进入。)”可知，互联网、科技和社交媒体使得人们很容易接触到世界各个地方的时尚物品，由此可推，“aflatworld”指的是在人们可以轻易获取国际化资源的世界。故选C。

2.细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“WemaygiveAIcreativity,butthatdoesn’tmeanitcan’tbecreativeinitsownright.Artificialthinkingaswellasdecision-makingisrootedintheintelligenceandexperienceofcountlesshumanminds.Ithasalreadycreatedwonderfulexamplesofpaintingandmusic.(我们可以赋予人工智能创造力，但这并不意味着它不能自己创造。人工思考和决策都植根于无数人类智慧和经验。)可知，认为人工智能可以以自己的方式创造，这是因为人工智能的思维是以人类的智慧和经验为基础的。故选D。

3.词句猜测题。根据划线词前句“ThisisbecausemostpeoplehavealimitedunderstandingofAI.(这是因为大多数人对人工智能的了解有限。)”和下文“orthemysteriousstuffofsciencefiction.(或者科幻小说里的神秘事物。)”可知，人们对人工智能的理解有限，这是因为人们认为它是科幻小说里神秘的东西，即深不可测的，由此可推知，划线单词“unfathomable”意为“深不可测”，与A项“Complicated.(复杂难懂的)”意思相近，故选A。

4.推理判断题。根据最后一段“However,Ican’tpredictwhatthefutureofvisualartwilllooklike.Noneofuscan.Theworldchangestoofast,andthepossibilitiesofthefuturewillfarexceed(超过)anythingweattempttoimaginetoday.(然而，我无法预测视觉艺术的未来会是什么样子。我们都不能。世界变化太快，未来的可能性将远远超过我们今天试图想象的任何东西。)”可以推断出，可能赞同“我们很难定义未来的视觉艺术”这一观点。故选B。

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。宠物产业迅猛发展，人们将宠物视为家庭成员，愿意为了宠物的健康而花钱，从而推动了宠物产业在这一方面的发展。

【12题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章第一段末句“Withpeopletreatingtheirpetsmoreandmorelikeafamilymember,thepetindustrycontinuestoseeariseinrelatedproductsandservices.(随着人们越来越像对待家庭成员一样对待宠物，宠物行业的相关产品和服务也在不断增加。)”可知，人们对宠物爱的增长使得宠物行业不断发展。故选B。

【13题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章第二段“ThepetindustryintheUSAreachedamilestonein2023,withtotalsalesof$103.6billion,ahistorichigh,accordingtotheAmericanPetProductsAssociationStateoftheIndustryReport,comparedtosalesof$48billionin2023.Thatismorethana100%increaseinjusttenyearsinwhatyoumightconsidertobearelativelyboringindustry.(根据米国宠物用品协会的行业状况报告，米国宠物行业在2023年达到了一个里程碑，总销售额达到1036亿美元，创历史新高，而2023年的销售额为480亿美元。在这个你可能认为相对枯燥的行业里，短短10年就增长了100%以上。)”可知，这些数据明显说明人们投入到宠物上的钱在增加。故选C。

【14题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章第三段末句“Payattentiontowhathumantrendsforhealthasitmightcrossovertotheirpets.(注意人类对于宠物健康趋势，因为这可能会影响到他们的宠物。)”以及末段首句“Itseemsthatanythinghumansneed,petsneed.(似乎人类需要的任何东西，宠物都需要。)”可知，宠物的健康和幸福是宠物行业的发展趋势。故选A。

【15题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第一段末句“Withpeopletreatingtheirpetsmoreandmorelikeafamilymember,thepetindustrycontinuestoseeariseinrelatedproductsandservices.(随着人们越来越像对待家庭成员一样对待宠物，宠物行业的相关产品和服务也在不断增加。)”以及第三段末句“Payattentiontowhathumantrendsforhealthasitmightcrossovertotheirpets.(注意人类对于宠物健康趋势，因为这可能会影响到他们的宠物。)”可知，全文说明了人们越来越喜欢宠物，它们的健康状况和幸福得到人们的重视，这同时也是宠物产业继续发展的方向和方法。所以短文的最佳标题为“宠物产业如何持续增长”。故选D。

【答案】16.G17.C18.E19.A20.F

【解析】

【导语】本文是说明文，人们喜欢在有音乐的背景下工作。研究人员针对这个现象展开研究，研究表明，音乐实际上会干扰人们解决问题的创造性。

【详解】1.前文“Moreandmorepeopleenjoylisteningtomusicwhiletheywork,believingthatmusichelpsboostcreativity.ButaninternationalstudyconductedbyEnglishandSwedishresearchersischallengingthatviewpoint.(越来越多的人喜欢在工作时听音乐，相信音乐有助于提高创造力。但一项由英国和瑞典研究人员进行的国际研究正在挑战这一观点)”指出一项研究挑战了以前的观点：音乐能够提高创造性，G项“Psychologistsfromseveraluniversitiessaytheirfindingsindicatemusicactuallypreventscreativity.(几所大学的心理学家表示，他们的研究结果表明，音乐实际上会阻碍创造力)”提出这个研究的成果：音乐会阻挠人们的创造性。符合语境，故选G。

2.前文“Tocometotheirconclusions,researchershadparticipantscompleteverbalproblemsdesignedtoinspirecreativitywhilesittinginaquietroom.(为了得出结论，研究人员让参与者坐在一个安静的房间里完成旨在激发创造力的语言问题)”说研究人员要求参与实验者在安静的环境中完成指定的任务，C项“Thenagain,theyweretestedwhilemusicwasplayedinthebackground.(然后，他们又在播放背景音乐的情况下接受了测试)”说他们又在有背景音乐的环境中接受测试，这与前文形成一个完整的信息链。故选C。

3.前文“Thetasksweresimplewordgames.(任务是简单的单词游戏)”，后文“Then,theywereaskedtofindasinglewordthatcouldbecombinedwiththethreetoformacommonphraseorword.Thesingleword,inthiscase,wouldbe“sun”(sunshine,sunflower,etc).(然后，他们被要求找到一个可以与这三个单词组合成一个常见短语或单词的单词。在这种情况下，一个单词就是“太阳”(sunshine,sunflower，等等)。)”说明了一个实验的过程，E项的“giventhreewords(给参与测试者三个单词)”与前文的“simplewordgames(简单的单词游戏)”以及下文的“Thesingleword,inthiscase,wouldbe“sun”(sunshine,sunflower,etc)”组成一个完整的信息链，因此推断E项“Forexample,participantsweregiventhreewords,suchasdress,shine,andflower.(例如，参与者被告知三个单词，如dress,shine和flower)”符合语境。故选E。

4.前文“Dr.McLatchiewithhiscolleaguesconcludesthatmusicdisturbstheverbalworkingmemoryofthebrain.(麦克拉奇博士和他同事们得出结论，音乐扰乱了大脑的语言工作记忆)”指出背景音乐会“干扰”大脑的记忆，A项“Andthisinturnblockscreativity.(继而阻碍创造性)”与前文内容呼应。故选A。

5.下文“Instead,theydemonstratemusic,regardlessofitstypes,consistentlyinterruptscreativeperformanceinproblemsolving,(相反，他们证明了音乐，不管它的类型，总是打断解决问题的创造性表现)”指出音乐会打断解决问题的创造性思维。F项“Toconclude,thefindingschallengethepopularviewthatmusicencouragescreativity.(总而言之，这些发现挑战了音乐鼓励创造力的流行观点)”的关键信息“挑战了音乐有助于创造性的这个传统观念”与下文内容构成对比。故选F。
