【答案】21.C22.A23.B

worriedfamilies,lookingintothehumancostofenvironmentalcrisis."（这本书描写了六名女囚犯消防员和她们

忧心忡忡的家人，探讨了环境危机的人力成本。）可知，该书跟踪描写了6名女囚犯消防员的故事，所以应

该是非虚构文学。故选C项。

22.推理判断题。根据SomethingUndertheSun中关键句"InAlexandraKleeman'snewnovel,anovelistnewto

LosAngelesteamsupwithaformerchildactortoinvestigateaconspiracy.''（在亚历山德拉•克里曼的新小说中，

一位刚到洛杉矶的小说家与一名前童星合作，调查一起阴谋。）可知AlexandraKleeman是SomethingUnder

theSun一书的作者，因此，他的职业是小说家。故选A项。

23.细节理解题。通览全文可知，每一本小说都是将气候危机（climatecrisis）作为写作背景，因此，它们都

展示了作者对于气候危机的担忧和思考。故选B项。

【答案】24.C25.A26.C27.B

【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了赛车手BubbaWallace和摄影师BatakTefreshi一起前往

GooseberryMesa进行一场旨在捕捉夜空美景的冒险经历。

24.细节理解题。根据第二段的“GooseberryMesa,farfrompopulationcenters,isprotectedfromthenighttime

lightpollutionmakingitperfectforstarphotographers.Naturenightenvironmentssuchasthisarerare.

（GooseberryMesa远离人口中心，不受夜间光污染的影响，非常适合星空摄影师。像这样的自然夜间环境

很少见）“可知，Bubba和Batak选择GooseberryMesa的原因在于它没有光污染。故选C。

25.推理判断题。根据第三段的“Camping,hiking,andshootingstarsinmountainousMesahighlightthesimilarity

betweenphotographyandracing.Bubbanotes,"Onceyoufireuptheenginethere'snoturningback-Iknowrilbe

inthatscatformorethanthreehours.,,Batakagrees,havethesamefeelingassoonasItouchthewheelofmy

camera-Pmreadytocontinuethroughtheentirenight.,,（在多山的Mesa露营、远足和拍摄星空突出了摄影和

赛车之间的相似之处。Bubba指出，“一旦你发动引擎，就没有回头路，我知道我必须坐上三个小时以上

Batak表示同意，“我一摸到相机就有同样的感觉，我就要准备好整夜奋战了''）”可知，第三段首句点明了

赛车和摄影的相似之处。开车的Bubba和拿起相机的Batak都需要长时间地坚持下去来捕捉美丽的夜景，

即赛车和摄影都需要的是毅力。故选A。

26.推理判断题。根据第五段中的"Withwide-anglenightscapeseveryunexpectedweatherconditioncanbean

opportunity.Ourphotosshoworangesandbluesaroundthemoonyouwouldn'tseeunderaclearsky.（在广角夜

景中，每一个意想不到的天气状况都可能是一个机会。我们的照片显示了在晴朗的天空下看不到的月亮周

围的橙色和蓝色）”推知，Batak认为不可预测的天气状况对于摄影者来说是利好的现象。故选C。

27.推理判断题。根据第六段中的"We'rebothpassionateaboutbringingculturestogetherandusingourworkto

breakdownboundaries.（我们都热衷于将文化融合在一起，并利用我们的工作打破界限）”推知，该团队摄

影工作所传达的一个信息是：是融合各种不同的文化。故选B。

31.Whichofthefollowingisasuitabletitleofthetext?

A.ThebarrierofBritishgrassland

B.TheappealofgrasslandforBritons

C.ThefighttodefinethegreatBritishgarden

D.Thecompetitiontobecomethebestgrassland

【答案】28.D29.B30.A31.C

【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了英国人对草坪着迷，不过真草皮和人造草皮都有粉丝，政府和

园林协会到底支持哪一方并不明确，这个争论仍将持续下去。

28.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Britonsarefascinatedbylawns.Countryestateshavelongcompetedtohave

themostperfectlycutandpolishedgrassland.Whatyou'resayinginbigloudcapitalletters,isTmsoterribly

wealthy，（英国人对草坪着迷。乡村庄园长期以来一直在比拼谁拥有最完美切割和打磨的草坪。你在大肆宣

扬的是‘我真是太富有了！‘）“可知，人们觉得拥有完美草坪就是一种富有，说明人们很重视此事，即高品质

的草坪备受推崇。故选D。

29.细节理解题。根据第三段中的"Artificialgrassispopularwithfamilieswhohavechildrenordogsanddon't

wantmuddraggedthroughtheirhouses.Ithasanothercharmfactor,too—peoplenowseegardensas“outside

rooms”-pairingcarpetsofartificialgrasswithdelicatelydecoratedseatingandhotcontainers.（人造草坪彳艮受有

孩子或狗的家庭的欢迎，他们不想让泥土进入他们的房子。它还有另一个魅力因素：人们现在将花园视为“室

外房间“，将人造草地毯与装饰精美的座椅和热容器配对）”可知，人造草坪可以避免孩子和狗把泥巴带入到

房间里弄脏地面以及它可以充当室外房间的功能有助于人造草坪的普及，即花园的新功能有助于人造草坪

的普及。故选B。

30.词义猜测题。根据第四段的“MsDavisonsaysagroupofwildlife-lovinggardenersisblooming.（MsDavison

说热爱野生动物的做园艺活的人越来越多）”可知，这些人是在疫情封锁期间开始对做园艺活感兴趣的，因

ittinterest一词可以解释划线词。catchtheinterest：勾起（某人的）兴趣。故选A。

31.主旨大意题。根据第三段的“ButnowBritonshavefalleninlovewithartificialgrass.（但现在英国人已经

爱上了人造草）”可知，人造草皮有它的粉丝；根据第四段的“Noteveryoneisafan.（不是每个人都是粉丝）”

可知，有的人并不喜欢人造草皮；由此可知，真草皮和人造草皮都有粉丝。根据最后一段“Whilethreewritten

documentssignedbymanypeoplehavetriedtostopartificialgrassspreading,thegovernmentsaysregulatingwhat

peopledointheirbackyardsiswrong.TheRHSisconcernedaboutartificialgrass,butpreferspersuasiontolaws.

“Wesay'Letahundredflowersbloom'JsaysMsDavison.（虽然许多人签署的三份书面文件试图阻止人造草的

蔓延，但政府表示，规范人们在后院的行为是错误的。皇家园林协会关注人造草，但更喜欢去做说服工作

而不是采取法律手段解决问题。MsDavison说：”就让百花齐放吧“！）“由此可知，政府和园林协会到底支

持哪一方并不明确。因此C项（一场定义好的英国花园的斗争）可以作为标题。故选C。

C.Hackingispopularwithpeople.D.Hackingneedslicenses.

【答案】32.C33.B34.D35.A

【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了“黑客”这份职业的重要性。

32.推理判断题。根据第•段“Whenaskedwhathisfatherdidforaliving,Mikeexplainedtohiskindergarten

teacherthat“hestealsthings,butit*sOK,becausehegetspaidtodoit.”（当被问及他的父亲是做什么的时候，迈

克向他的幼儿园老师解释说:“他偷东西，但没关系，因为他是为此而赚钱的。“）可知，Mike对于父亲的

职业是认可的。故选C项。

33.主旨大意题。根据第二段“Thankstosecurityresearchers,hackingpractices,leaksinanewversionofthemost

commonWi-Ficodestandard（WPA3）werefoundbeforecriminalscouldusethemtobreakintohomeandbusiness

networks."（多亏了安全研究人员的黑客实践。最新版本的最常见的Wi-Fi编码标准（WPA3）在犯罪分子利用

其侵入家庭和商业网络之前就被发现了漏洞）可知，该段落主要在讲述“黑客”工作的重要性。故选B项。

34.推理判断题。从第三段最后一句话"ItseemsthatthewaythathackersaredescribedinHollywoodhas

contributedtotheword4hacker?paralleling'criminal；wherehackersarcoftenreferredtoasfiguresindarkrooms

engagedinillegalactivitywhiletappingatkeyboards.”（看来，好莱坞对黑客的描述催生了“黑客”这个词，与“犯

罪分子”同时出现。其中，黑客通常被称为那些在暗室里敲击键盘从事非法活动的人）可知,Hollywood中总

是把“hackers”呈现为黑房子里用电脑犯罪的人物形象，因此导致人们对hackers的误解。因此提到

“Hollywood”是为了追溯为什么会有这种误解。故选D项。

35.主旨大意题。根据全篇描述及最后一段“Contrarytopopularbelief,mosthackerslikeMike'sfather

undoubtedlyplayanimportantroleinkeepingcompaniesandpeoplesafe/9（与人们普遍认为的相反,大多数像

迈克的父亲一样的黑客无疑在保护公司和人们的安全方面发挥着重要作用）可知，本文主要是为了说明大

多数像Mike的父亲一样从事这份职业的黑客是非常重要的，他们保障人们和公司的安全。故选A项。
