(在美国东海岸读了两年研究生，然后又在国外工作了六年，我一直觉得自己是个外人。我决定回到我的家乡旧金山，因为这些年来我一直对这座城市的多样性有很深的印象。)”可知，作者漂泊在外，没有归属感，所以决定回家。故选C。150．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“HavinggrownupbetweentheHaight,theFillmore,andtheSunset,andbeingaproductofSanFranciscopublicschools—livingamongculturaldiversity—I’vealwaysfeltthatimmersion(沉浸)indifferenceismynorm(准则).(我在海特区、菲尔莫尔区和日落区之间长大，是旧金山公立学校的产物——生活在文化多样性中——我一直觉得沉浸在差异中是我的常态。)”可知，作者喜欢住在多元化的社区中。故选D。151．细节理解题。根据第五段“InherbookRadicalSuburbs,AmandaKolsonHurleywritesinAmerica,thefixedideaof“whitesuburbs”ischanging.MyneighborsareGuatemalan,Iranian,andAfricanAmerican.MyhusbandisSouthAsian;ourdaughterismixed.“Diversesuburbsaregrowingfasterthanwhitesuburbs,”Hurleywrites.(阿曼达·科尔森·赫尔利(AmandaKolsonHurley)在她的著作《激进的郊区》(RadicalSuburbs)中写道，在美国，“白人郊区”的固定观念正在改变。我的邻居有危地马拉人、伊朗人和非裔美国人。我丈夫是南亚人，我们的女儿是混血儿。“多样化的郊区比白人郊区发展得更快，”赫尔利写道。)”可知，这位作家认为美国的郊区越来越多元化。故选B。152．推理判断题。根据第一段“Aliknocksonmyfrontdooreveryfewweekstooffermyfamilyfood.He’sfromIranandknowshowmuchIlovePersiancooking.Aself-madetaxidriver,hesharesmorethanfood.(阿里每隔几周就会敲我的前门，给我的家人提供食物。他来自伊朗，知道我有多喜欢波斯料理。作为一名白手起家的出租车司机，他分享的不仅仅是食物。)”以及最后一段“Myneighborsmakemefeelathome.(我的邻居使我感到宾至如归。)”可知，作者所在的社区邻居们都很友善。故选A。153．A154．C155．C【来源】上海市徐汇区上海市第四中学2023-2024学年高一上学期9月月考英语试题【导语】这是一篇应用文。广告介绍了悉尼港大桥，并欢迎大家攀爬。153．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Everytickettothetopincludesagroupphotograph,acertificateofachievement,andaBridgeClimbcap.(每张通往山顶的门票都包括一张团体照片、一份成就证书和一顶爬桥帽。)”可知，不能免费提供予攀登者的是在山顶的一张个人照片。故选A项。154．细节理解题。根据Peak部分“Ratesvalidfrom27December2018to4January2019(价格有效期为2018年12月27日至2019年1月4日)”和表格内容可知，如果一对夫妇带着16岁的孩子想在2019年1月2日星期五晚上爬桥，他们应该付两个成年人的每人250美元，加上一个孩子的150美元，是650美元。故选C项。155．细节理解题。根据Pleasenote部分“ClimbratesandperiodsaresubjecttochangeaccordingtowhatBridgeClimbdecidestodo(爬坡率和爬坡时间可能会根据BridgeClimb决定做的事情而改变)”可知，上面列出的爬坡率和爬坡时间在某些情况下可能会发生变化。故选C项。156．D157．A158．C【来源】上海市徐汇区上海市第四中学2023-2024学年高一上学期9月月考英语试题【导语】这是一篇说明文。现代电子邮件等迅速发展摧毁了传统的信件，作者通过本文论述了信件等传统问候方式的重要性还是存在的。156．细节理解题。根据第二段中“ButIthinkwealsorecognizethegreaterintegrity(完整)involvedwhenwetouchpentopaperandbothertostickastamp.Inourbusyliveswemanagetosendamessagethatsays‘Istillhavetimeforyou.’(但我认为，当我们在纸上动笔、费力地贴邮票时，我们也会认识到所涉及的更大的完整性。在我们忙碌的生活中，我们总是设法发出这样一个信息:‘我仍然有时间陪你。')”可知，我们认识到写圣诞卡是一种更完整的方式，因为我们设法放慢了繁忙的生活节奏来发送问候。故选D项。157．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Christmasappearedtobebothanirrelevanceandanimportanttieforbothofthem,andwhiletheyregrettednotbeingtogethertheycelebratedtheabilityofthelettertoconnectthem.(圣诞节似乎对他们两人来说都是无关紧要的，也是重要的纽带。虽然他们因为没有在一起感到遗憾，但他们还是庆幸这封信能把他们联系在一起。)”可知，对于ChrisBarker和BessieMoore来说，圣诞节既是无关紧要的，又是重要的纽带，这是因为他们没有在一起，他们只有依靠信件把彼此联系在一起。故选A项。158．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“ButChristmascardscontinuetoconnectus.Theyofferareminderthatwehavenotdiedinthecourseoftheyear,andthatwestillvaluethepersonaltouch.(但圣诞卡继续把我们联系在一起。它们提醒我们，我们并没有在这一年里死去，我们仍然重视人与人之间的接触。)”可知，圣诞卡的意义在于人与人之间的接触仍然受到重视。故选C项。159．A160．A161．C162．C【来源】重庆市二0三中学校2023-2024学年高二上学期开学考试英语试题【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了多任务处理能同时做很多件事，很多人误以为这样做提高了工作效率，但研究表明它实际上降低了工作效率。159．细节理解题。根据第三段“theonlytimeyoucanmultitaskiswhenyou’redoingtwothingsandoneofthemdoesn’trequireyourattentionormentalenergy,forexamplejoggingwhilelisteningtomusic.(唯一可以同时处理多项任务的时间是当你正在做两件事，其中一件不需要你的注意力或脑力，例如边听音乐边慢跑)”可知，作者提到边听音乐边慢跑是为了证明多任务处理是可能的，故选A项。160．词句猜测题。根据第四段划线词下文“thepartnerfeelsneglected(搭档感受到了被忽视)”可推理出划线部分要表达的含义为“造成破坏”，即有时试图多任务会伤害和别人的关系。故选A项。161．推理判断题。根据第五段“Thefindingsshowedthatmultitaskingmadeindividualslesseffectiveandproductive,whichiscontrarytowhatmostmultitaskersbelieve.(研究结果表明，多任务处理会降低个人的效率和生产力，这与大多数多任务处理者的看法相反)”可推理出多任务处理者认为多任务处理提高了工作效率，故选C项。162．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Peoplethinkthattheyarecapableofdoingmanythingsatonce.However,thefactremainsthattheyaremerelyswitchingfromonejobtoanother.(人们认为他们有能力同时做很多事情。然而，事实仍然是，他们只是从一份工作转到另一份工作)”、第三段“Accordingtothestudies,theonlytimeyoucanmultitaskiswhenyou’redoingtwothingsandoneofthemdoesn’trequireyourattentionormentalenergy(根据研究，你唯一可以同时处理多项任务的时间是当你正在做两件事，其中一件不需要你的注意力或脑力)”、第五段“Thefindingsshowedthatmultitaskingmadeindividualslesseffectiveandproductive,whichiscontrarytowhatmostmultitaskersbelieve.(研
