系起来。你可以通过不使用很多不同的昵称来帮助你的猫更快地学习它们的名字，这可能会让你

停留、击掌或上床睡觉，'Delgado说，'为了训练你的猫，你首先需要知道是什么激励了你

的猫一一比如一种特殊的款待或玩具。然后从一些简单的事情开始，比如坐着。随着时间的推

移，你的猫会将它们的行为、你的反应或声音与款待联系起来。'）”可知，本段主要讲训练猫

的方式。故选D项。

【11题详解】

推理判断题。由文章第三段“A2019studyfoundthatcatsreactmoretothesoundof

【答案】16.D17.B18.G19.F20.A

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章讲述帮助你和几乎所有的老师建立友好的关系的一些建议。

【16题详解】

根据下文“Ifyouappearangryorunhappyinfrontofthem,theconflictisunlikelytobesolved.（如果

你在他们面前表现得生气或不开心，冲突不太可能得到解决。）”可推断出在老师面前要表现的

友好，才能解决问题，故选D选项“在交谈中一定要有礼貌并表现出尊重。”符合题意，故选

Do

【17题详解】

根据下文uTeachershavemanyyearsofteachingexperienceinthesubjectstheyteach.Sodiscussing

thebestwaystosucceedintheclassroommaygiveyoutheopportunitytoseethebestinstructors.（教师

在他们所教的科目上有多年的教学经验。因此，讨论在课堂上取得成功的最佳方法可能会让你有

机会见到最好的老师。）”可知老师有很多经验，问老师方法如何在课堂上表现，B选项“问问

你的老师你怎样才能在课堂上做得好。”符合语境，故选B。

【18题详解】

根据段首句“Learntounderstandtheirteachingmethods.（学会理解他们的教学方法。）”可知这段

是谈论理解老师教学方法的。下文“Ifyouareusedtoaveryrelaxingclass,learningtobesuccessful

inastrictenvironmentisdifficultandviceversa（反之亦然）.Inmostcases,itisnecessarytogive

yourselfsometimetogetusedtoanewteachingmethod』如果你习惯了一个非常轻松的课堂，在一

个严格的环境中学习成功是困难的，反之亦然。在大多数情况下，需要给自己一些时间来适应一

种新的教学方法。）”所以G选项“有时候，你可能不喜欢一些老师，因为他们的教学方法。”

和下文紧密相连，并且符合本段主旨，故选G。

【19题详解】

根据段首句“Askaboutyourteachers，hobbies.（询问老师的爱好。）”可知本段主要是讲了解老师

的爱好，找出共同的兴趣，这样才能帮助你更好的了解老师，故选F选项“共同的兴趣爱好可以

帮助你从不同的角度看待老师。”符合题意，故选F。

【20题详解】

根据上文“Considersayingsomethinglike,"Tvealwayswonderedwhypeoplebecometeachers."（可

以这样说：“一直想知道为什么人们会当老师。因为要问为什么会选择老师的工作，说明

要补充说明一下老师工作的性质，所以A选项“这似乎是一项困难的工作。”符合题意，故选
