参考答案

1.A

2.B

3.D

【分析】

这是一篇记叙文。ZachariahFike有一个不同寻常的业余爱好：他在网上和古董店里寻找旧

的军队勋章，然后将这些勋章归还它们的合法主人。文章主要叙述了他这一爱好的起源。

1.细节理解题。根据第二段中的ZacknowsthemeaningofaPurpleHeart—heearnedone

himselfinawarasasoldier.Sowhenhismothergavehimthemedal,heknewrightawaywhathe

hadtodo.可知，当Zac还是一名士兵的时候，在一次战争中他获得了一枚PurpleHeart。故

A项正确。

2.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Todriveeighthourstocometoseeme.”可以推知，Adeline

为了那枚PurpleHeart开车八个小时来见Zac,由此可知，她对于这件事是认真地。故B选

项正确。

3.推理判断题。根据第四段中的Corrado,atranslatorfortheArmyduringWWII,waskilledin

actioninEurope.和倒数第三段中的“ButasIgrewolder,“Adelinesays,“andmissedmybrother

moreandmore,Irealizedthatwastheonlythingwehadleft”可知,这枚勋章寄托了Adeline对

于去世的哥哥Corrado的回忆和思念，这是他们家留下的唯一关于哥哥的东西了。因此她很

珍惜这枚勋章。故D选项正确。

4.D

5.B

6.D

7.C

8.A

【分析】

本文为议论文。文章讲述了自己的专业选择及学习的经历，并论述了人文学科的特色和优势,

告诉人们要用所有的精力去追求自己的梦想的专业，不管别人怎么想。

4.细节理解题。根据第一段中的But,onceIfoundoutmyfriendsweregoinginto“real”majors,

likemarketing,nursing,andengineering,IfiguredIneededtodothesametoensureagoodcareer.

SoIchangedmymindandchoseBusinessManagementasmymajor.（但是，当我发现我的朋友

们正在进入“真正的”专业，比如市场营销、护理和工程，我想我也需要做同样的事情来确保

一个好的职业生涯。所以我改变了主意，选择了商业管理作为我的专业）可知，作者选择商

业管理专业是因为这可以让他拥有更好的职业体验、更实用。故D选项正确。

5.细节理解题。根据第二段中的ActuallyideasdiscussedinHumanitiesclasses,whichare

occasionallydifferentfromwhatpeoplecommonlybelieve,offerabroadperspective（视角）.（人

文学科课堂上讨论的观点，有时与人们通常认为的有所不同，提供了一个广阔的视角）可知，

作者认为交换观点可以获得更加全面的观点。故B选项正确。

6.推理判断题。根据第三段中的whilehumanitiesmajorslearn''softskills"likecommunicating

effectivelythroughwritingcriticallyandspeakingpersuasively,synthesizing（综合）ideasthrough

gatheringandinterpretinginformation,anddevelopingculturalawareness.（人文专业的学生学习

“软技能”，比如通过批判性写作和有说服力的说话来有效沟通，通过收集和解释信息来综合

思想，培养文化意识）可知，学习软技能包括学习沟通和说话技巧。而在与商业伙伴谈判时，

需要很好的沟通和说话技巧，所以软技能会扮演着最重要的角色。故D选项正确。

7.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Thejobmarketisquietlycreatingthousandsofopeningsa

weekforpeoplewhocanbringahumanist'sgracetoourrapidlyevolvinghigh-techfuture.（就业

市场正悄然每周为那些能够为我们快速发展的高科技未来带来人文主义优雅的人创造数千

个职位空缺）可知，作者认为人文专业毕业生
