B.PoetryReadingHistoryC.DylanThomas—FatherofSlamming D.PoetrySlamTheory【答案】12.B13.A14.C15.A【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项名为“PoetrySlam”的诗歌朗诵活动，介绍了其起源发展和参赛要求等信息。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“Tofurthertheirpopularity,“poetryreadings”havetakenonanewdimension—thespiritofpetition.Thispetition,namedthe“PoetrySlam”,beganin1986inaChicago,IllinoisbarinAmerica,whenaconstructionworkerandpoet,MarcSmith,decidedthatheneededsomehelpwithhisownpoetryreadings.(为了进一步普及，“诗歌朗诵”呈现出新的层面——竞争精神。这项名为“PoetrySlam”的比赛于1986年在美国伊利诺斯州芝加哥的一家酒吧开始，当时一位建筑工人兼诗人MarcSmith认为自己的诗歌朗诵需要一些帮助)”可知，B选项“PoetrySlam由诗歌朗诵演变而来”正确。故选B。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“Heaskedtheaudiencetoratehispoemsfrom1to10.Withaudienceinteractionandinput,itbecameaninstantsuccess.(他让观众从1到10给他的诗打分。有了观众的互动和输入，它立即获得了成功)”可知，MarcSmith诗歌的评分是如此成功，因为观众享受了互动，并能在诗歌中得到一些输入。故选A。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“Scoresarebaseduponwhetherthepoetshavesetoffemotionsintheaudience’smind,requiringnotonlygoodpoetrywritingskills,butalsotheabilitytospeakanddeliverthepoeminadramaticway.(分数是根据诗人是否能在观众心中激起情感而定的，这不仅要求诗人有良好的诗歌写作技巧，还要求诗人有戏剧性地朗诵和表达诗歌的能力)”可知，PoetrySlam的得分是基于良好的诗歌写作技巧和戏剧表现力。故选C。【15题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Attendingandparticipatinginthissportygameofwordsandemotionshasbeenshortentotheexpression“slamming”.Slamminghasbeenotonlyaworldphenomenonbutasubcultureaswell,beingwellreceivedamongyoungpoetsandthoseofdiversebackgrounds.Itprovidesastageforthemtoexpressourfragilehumanconditioninaveryentertainingandartfulway.(参加和参与这个文字和情感的运动游戏已经被缩写为“猛烈抨击”。Slamming不仅是一种世界性现象，而且是一种亚文化，受到了年轻诗人和不同背景的人的欢迎。它为他们提供了一个舞台，以一种非常有趣和巧妙的方式表达我们脆弱的人类状况)”结合文章主要介绍了一项名为“PoetrySlam”的诗歌朗诵活动，介绍了其起源发展和参赛要求等信息。可知，A选项“用一个词来说就是‘Slamming’”最符合文章标题。故选A。第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Doyoueverwalkoutofaroomwithanideainyourhead,onlytodiscovermomentslaterthatit'sgone?1fso,don'tworry:it'saverymonexperience.___16___Theproblemisoftencausedby"eventboundaries".___17___Theymakeyoubelievethataparticularmentaltaskisover.Testshaveprovedthatwe'remuchmoreforgetfulwhenwemovefromonelocationtoanother.___18___It'sbecauseanythingthatseemsliketheendofatask—closingastudybook,finishingaphonecall,takingacakeoutoftheoven—canhavethesameeffect.Withinseconds,muchinformationinyourmindhasdisappeared.___19___First,stoptellingyourbrainthatitsworkisdone.Thiscanbeassimpleasleavingabookopeninsteadofputtingitbackontheshelf.Second,createcluestocarrywithyouacrossanyunavoidableeventboundary.Noticewhentheseendpointsareingup,andspendamomentimprovingyourmemory.Ifpossible,saythekeypointsoutloud:thejobyou'rewalkingofftodointhenextroom,forexample,ortheplansyou'vejustmadeonthephone.Weactuallyknowmemorydependsonimagery.___20___Everydayyou'refacedwitheventboundariesthatmayrestrictyourrecall.Butbyavoidingthemwhenyoucananddisguisingthemwhenyoucan’t,you'llfindthatmuchlessofyourlearninggetslost.A.Buthere'showtofightback.B.Sopicturethedetailsyouwanttokeep.C.Manyofusdon'tknowhowtodealwithitproperly.D.Thesearewhatyourmemoryusestostopremembering.E.Andscientistsbelievethatwecanexplainandapproachit.F.Butthesamehappenswhenwegofromoneactivitytoanother,too.G.Andonlyinthiswaycanweovereeventboundariessuccessfully.【答案】16.E17.D18.F19.A20.B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了普遍存在的健忘现象，并对如何对抗健忘提出几个办法。【16题详解】根据前文“Doyoueverwalkoutofaroomwithanideainyourhead,onlytodiscovermomentslaterthatit’sgone?1fso,don’tworry:it’saverymonexperience.”（你有没有过这样的经历：脑子里带着想法走出房间，片刻之后却不记得了？如果是的话，别担心：这是很常见的经历）和下文“Theproblemisoftencausedby"eventboundaries".”（这个问题通常是由“事件边界”引起的）可知，这里主要是解释健忘的原因，分析选项，E项（科学家们相信我们可以解释和接近它）承前启后，符合语境逻辑，选项中的it指代的就是前面的averymonexperience，故选E。【17题详解】根据空前句“Theproblemisoftencausedby"eventboundaries"”（这个问题通常是由“事件边界”引起的）和后一句“Theymakeyoubelievethataparticularmentaltaskisover.”（它们让你相信一项特定的智力任务已经结束）可判断，选项D（这些就是你的记忆用来停止记忆的东西）衔接前后文符合语境，其中These和后一句中的They都指代前文"eventboundaries"，故选D。【18题详解】根据空前句“Testshaveprovedthatwe’remuchmoreforgetfulwhenwemovefromonelocationtoanother.”（实验证明，当我们从一个地方移到另一个地方时，我们会变得更健忘）结合空后“It'sbecauseanythingthatseemsliketheendofatask—closingastudybook,finishingaphonecall,takingacakeoutoftheoven—canhavethesameeffect.”（这是因为任何看起来像是任务结束的事情——合上一本学习用书，打完一通，从烤箱里拿出一块蛋糕——都会产生同样的效果。）可知，选项F（但当我们从一个活动转向另一个活动时，同样的情况也会发生）与前文构成转折关系，thesame指代前文中we’remuchmoreforgetful，后文是其原因，符合该段语境逻辑。故选F。【19题详解】上一段最后“Withinseconds,muchinformationinyourmindhasdisappeared.”（几秒钟之内，你脑海中的许多信息就消失了）讲了人们的健忘现象，设空处是段落首句。根据后文“First,stoptellingyourbrainthat...Second,createcluestocarrywithyou...”可知，该段提出了对抗健忘的方法，选项A（但下面是如何反击的方法）作为主题句衔接后文符合语境，故选A。【20题详解】根据空前一句“Weactuallyknowmemorydependsonimagery.”（我们知道记忆依赖于想象）可知选项B（所以想象一下你想保留的细节）符合此处语境，选项中的picture与dependsonimagery有内在联系，故选B。第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Tina'shusbandisanengineer.Sheloveshimforhissteadynatureandshelovesthewarmfeelingwhensheleansagainsthisbroadshoulders.However,afterfiveyears'marriage,shewouldhavetoadmit,thatsheisgetting___21___ofit.Thereasonsofher___22___himbefore,havenowtransformedintothecausesofallherrestlessness.Sheisextremely___23___whenitestoarelationshipandherfeelingswhileherhusbandisherpleteopposite.Hislackofsensitivity,andthe___24___ofbringingromanticmomentsintohermarriagehavedisheartenedheraboutlo
