D．TheyenjoyUNESCOprotection.23．Whichsectionofanewspaperisthistextmostlikelyfrom?A．News. B．Business. C．Nature. D．Travel.【答案】21．B22．C23．D【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了欧洲一些在圣诞季节特别有魔力的城镇和城市。21．细节理解题。根据Valkenburg,Netherlands部分中“However,whatmakesitspecialisthefactthattheycanallbefoundunderground.Thetown’sChristmasCaveshavebeeinternationallyrenowned,withawiderangeofstallssellingfestivegiftsanddecorations.(然而，它的特别之处在于它们都可以在地下找到。该镇的圣诞洞穴已享誉国际，有各种各样的摊位出售节日礼物和装饰品)”可知，瓦尔肯堡(Valkenburg)拥有地下圣诞的魅力。故选B项。22．细节理解题。根据Hallstatt,Austria部分中“Hallstatt’sChristmasmarketisthestuffoflegend.(哈尔施塔特的圣诞市场是一个传奇)”、Valkenburg,Netherlands部分中“ThelargerMunicipalityCaveishometooneofthelargestindoorChristmasmarketsinEurope.(更大的都市洞穴是欧洲最大的室内圣诞市场之一的所在地)”、Wroclaw,Poland部分中“Thecity’sChristmasmarketishometoover250stallsandasuperbfair.(这个城市的圣诞市场有250多个摊位和一个极好的集市)”和Gothenburg,Sweden部分中“AndchiefamongthemistheLisebergChristmasMarket.(其中最主要的是利斯堡圣诞市场)”可知，所以地方都有圣诞集市。故选C项。23．推理判断题。通读全文，结合标题“TheEuropeanTownsandCitiesThatAreMagicalatChristmas(欧洲的城镇和城市在圣诞节是神奇的)”可知，文章主要介绍了欧洲一些在圣诞季节特别有魔力的城镇和城市，所以本文最有可能来自报纸的旅游版块。故选D项。BItcouldhappenanywhereatanytime.It’softenunexpected,butalmostneverunappreciated.Mostpeoplehavebeenonthereceivingarandomactofkindness—themomentwhenapletestrangerstopstoofferaid,generosityorpassion.Inasometimescoldworldwherepeoplecanbesofocusedonwhatthey’redoing,arandomactofkindnesscanmakeallthedifference.Theycanberelativelyinsignificant.HannahBaileyfromLondon,forexample,toldtheMetronewspaperabouthowshewasgivenherfruitandvegetableshoppingforfree.Thesellerdidherakindnesswhenitemergedshedidn’thaveanychangetopay.Shewashappyaboutitallday.ThecityofNapleshaslonghadatraditioncalled“caffesospeso”.Whenbuyingcoffee,apersonwhohasrecentlybeenluckywouldpurchasetwocupsbutonlydrinkone,leavingthesecondoneoutofthegoodnessoftheirheart,forapoorpersontoclaimforfree.Thistraditionisnowmoremonworldwide.However,insomecases,theselittleactscanbeamatteroflifeanddeath.Take,forexample,theunnamedmuter,whoinJune2018felloffastationplatformontoanelectricrailwaytrackinToronto,Canada.Aquickthinking,butevennowunknown,bystanderselflesslyleaptdowntopullhimtosafety.OrJonnyBenjamin,whoinLondonin2008waspersuadednottomitsuicidebyapasserby.Hehadbeenconsideringjumpingfromabridge.HelaterfoundtheGoodSamaritanandthankedhim.Hemayonedayfindawaytopayhimbackinkind—thoughthat’snotthepoint.So,whydoit?Often,theactsaren’tpaidback.Thepeoplenevermeetagain.AccordingtoUKcharityTheMentalHealthFoundation,actslikethesecan“giveourlivesnewpurpose,showusotherperspectivesonourownproblemsandevenmakeusfeeleuphoric.”Sogiveitatry.Holdopenadoorforsomeone,deliveraplimentevengiveupyourseatonabus.Helpsomeonewhoisinneed.Ittakesallkinds.Itneedn’tbeanythinghuge.Oneday,whetheryouneeditornot,someonemighthelpyouinyourhourofneed.24．HowdidHannahBaileyfeelaftershereceivedarandomactofkindness?A．Shewaspleasedaboutitfortherestoftheday.

B．Sorrowful. C．Awkward. D．Delighted.【答案】24．A25．B26．C27．D【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过一些赠人玫瑰手有余香的小故事，告诉我们一个善意的举动有时候在帮助别人的同时，还会给自己带来快乐和幸福，也让自己的人生有新的意义。24．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“HannahBaileyfromLondon,forexample,toldtheMetronewspaperabouthowshewasgivenherfruitandvegetableshoppingforfree.Thesellerdidherakindnesswhenitemergedshedidn’thaveanychangetopay.Shewashappyaboutitallday.(例如，来自伦敦的汉娜·贝利告诉《都市报》，她是如何免费买到水果和蔬菜的。当她发现自己没有零钱支付时，卖家帮了她一个忙。她为此高兴了一整天。)”可知，汉娜·贝利(HannahBailey)在收到一个随意的善举后，一整天都感到很高兴。故选A。25．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“ThecityofNapleshaslonghadatraditioncalled“caffesospeso”.Whenbuyingcoffee,apersonwhohasrecentlybeenluckywouldpurchasetwocupsbutonlydrinkone,leavingthesecondoneoutofthegoodnessoftheirheart,forapoorpersontoclaimforfree.(那不勒斯市长期以来一直有一种叫做“caffesospeso”的传统。买咖啡的时候，一个最近运气好的人会买两杯咖啡，但只喝一杯，把第二杯出于好心留给一个穷人，让他免费喝。)”可知，第二杯咖啡被留在咖啡馆捐赠给穷人。故选B。26．细节理解题。根据文章第六段“AccordingtoUKcharityTheMentalHealthFoundation,actslikethesecan“giveourlivesnewpurpose,showusotherperspectivesonourownproblemsandevenmakeusfeeleuphoric.”(根据英国慈善机构心理健康基金会的说法，这样的行为可以“给我们的生活带来新的目标，让我们从另一个角度看待自己的问题，甚至让我们感到euphoric。”)”可知，它们给我们的生活新的目标和快乐的感觉。故选C。27．词句猜测题。根据上文“AccordingtoUKcharityTheMentalHealthFoundation,actslikethesecan“giveourlivesnewpurpose,showusotherperspectivesonourownproblems…”(根据英国慈善机构心理健康基金会的说法，这样的行为可以“给我们的生活带来新的目标，让我们从另一个角度看待自己的问题…)”可推知，这样的行为给我们的生活新的目标和快乐的感觉，由此可知，euphoric意为“快乐的”，和D项：Delighted（高兴的）意思接近。故选D。CPoaching(偷猎)andhabitatlosshavethreatenedAfrica’stwospeciesofelephants,takingthemclosertowardtheedgeofdisappearance,accordingtoanewreportreleasedbytheInternationalUnionforConservationofNature(IUCN).Beforethisupdate,Africa’selephantsweregroupedtogetherandwereevaluatedasvulnerable(易受伤害的)bytheIUCN.Thisisthefirsttimethetwospecieshavebeensortedseparately.Inthepast,elephantsweremostlyconsideredaseitherAsianelephantsorAfricanelephants.Forestandsavannaelephants(稀树草原象)weretypicallyclassifiedassubspeciesofAfricanelephants.TheAfricanforestelephantisnowlistedascriticallyendangeredandtheAfricansavannaelephantasendangered.ThenumberofAfricanforestelephantsfellbymorethan86%overa31yearassessmentperiod.ThepopulationofAfricansavannaelephantsdroppedbyatleast60%overthelast50years,accordingtotheIUCN,whichtrackstheassessmentriskoftheworld’sanimals.Africacurrentlyhasanestimated415,000elephants,countingthetwospeciestogether.Bothelephantspeciesexperiencedsignificantpopulationdecreasesbecauseofpoaching.Althoughitpeakedin2011,illegalhuntingstillhappensandcontinuestothreatenelephantpopulations.Africanelephantsalsofacecontinuedhabitatlossastheirlandistransformedforagricultureorotheruses.Thereissomegoodconservationnews,theIUCNpointsout.Antipoachingmeasures,binedwithbetterlanduseplanningtosupportbetterhumanwildliferelationships,havehelpedconservationefforts.SomeforestelephantpopulationfigureshavestabilizedinwellmanagedareasinGabonandtheRepublicofCongoandsavannapopulationfigureshaveremainedstableorhavebeengrowing,particularlyintheKavangoZambeziTransfrontierConservationAreainsouthernAfrica.ButwithconstantdemandforivoryandincreasinghumanpressuresonAfrica’swildlandsconcernforAfrica’selephantsishigh,andtheneedtocreativelyconserveandwiselymanagetheseanimalsandtheirhabitatsismoreseverethanever.28．WhatcanbeinferredfromthenewreportaboutAfricanelephants?A．Theyaredyingout.
