orevenworthwhiletositinaclassroom.（持续上涨的一个更合理的解释是经历过远程学习，一些学

生一一可能还有他们的父母一一不再认为坐在教室里上课是必要的，甚至是值得的）”可知，长

期不到校上课的现象持续上涨的真正原因是之前的在线学习经历让他们觉得坐在教室里上课是不

必要的或者是不值得的。故选C。

【13题详解】

细节理解题。根据第四段第二句"Studiesshowthatchildrenwhoskipmoreschoolgetsignificantly

worsegrad6s（研究表明逃学次数越多的孩子成绩越差）”和第四句"Schoolsalsoconnectpupilsto

isencouragingattendancebygivingpupilsindividualrewardsandbyholdingclasspizzaparties.（几乎

没有简单的fixes,虽然有些地方在寻找。芝加哥大学通过给学生个人奖励和举办班级披萨派对

来鼓励出勤）”可知，此处fixes指的是解决方法。故选D。

【15题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第一段“TheCOVID-19pandemicbeganinlate2019andforthebestpartoftwo

years,childrenwereforcedtolearnathome,staringatcomputers.Astheystartthe2023-24schoolyear,

aterrifyingproportionstillseembarelytobeback.（冠状病毒流行病开始于2019年末，持续了两年

中的大部分时间，孩子们被迫盯着电脑，在家学习。当他们开始2023到2024学年时，一个可怕

的比例似乎仍然几乎没有回来）”以及第二段第一句uAccordingtoastudypublishedinearly

的学生至少缺课三个半星期。由斯坦福大学的一名教授ThomasDee,进行的研究发现，在2018

到2019学年和2021到2022学年中，长期旷课率（长期旷课定义为学生在学年中缺课10%）几

乎翻了一倍）”可知，这篇文章主要讲述了新冠过后，学生不到校现象仍旧持续，旷课率大幅度

上升。故选C。

F.Themoretimeisspentwiththem,themoretransferofknowledgetherewillbe.

G.Communicatingwithothersandhelpingthemoutwillalsoincreaseyourwisdom.

【答案】16.C17.E18.D19.F20.G

【导语】

本文是一篇说明文。作者就如何获得人生智慧给出了建议，帮助读者更好地面对充满挑战的世界

以及生活中的困境。

【16题详解】

上文“Whyiswisdomcrucialinthismodernworld?Letmetellyouthis,wisdom

providesuswithperspectivewhenweneeditanditcalmsusdowninterrible

situations.（为什么智慧在现代社会如此重要?让我告诉你，当我们需要的时候，智慧会给我们提

供视角，在糟糕的情况下，智慧会让我们冷静下来。）”提出智慧的重要性，后文分别给出4个

获得智慧的策略，C项"Herearesomestrategiesthatwecanusetogetwiser.（这里有一

些策略可以让我们变得更聪明。）”起到承上启下的作用，引出下文的策略介绍。故选C项。

【17题详解】

设空句是段首的中心句。根据下文“Thiswillopenupnewpathwaysforus.Neverbaseyour

perspectiveonthemostpopularopinionorwhichisthemostcomfortableforyou.Trainyourmindtobe

ajudgment-freespaceforideas.Ifyouarehumble,thenyouwillalwaysgettoexperiencesomething

new.（这将为我们开辟新的道路。永远不要把你的观点建立在最流行的观点或对你来说最舒服的

观点上。训练你的大脑成为一个不受评判的思想空间。如果你是谦虚的，那么你总能体验到新的

东西）”可知，本段建议应学会接受不同的观点，所以E项''Sometimesweourselvesneedtobe

opentodiverseperspectives（有时候，我们自己也需要对不同的观点持开放态度）”是本段内容的最

佳概括，是中心句。故选E项。

【18题详解】

根据指代关系和下文"Alloftheseactivitieswillhelpyoutotackleproblemsfromdifferentangles,

makingeverythingeasier.（所有这些活动将帮助你从不同的角度解决问题，使一切变得更容易）“中

UAIIoftheseactivities"可推知,设空句与上文一样，也应该是例举一些“帮助解决问题的活

动"，D项"SurftheInternetandclearoutyourproblemsthatconfuseyou.（上网冲浪，

清除那些让你困惑的问题。）”与本段主题一致，句中例举了“SurftheInternet”，与下文

''theseactivitiesw相照应。故选D项。

【19题详解】

设空句位于段末，是对上文的总结。根据上文“Youobviouslywanttogrowanddobetterinlife,

right?Thebestwayistohavewisepeopleasyourmentors（导师），liketeachers,colleaguesandeven

specialfriends.Priortomakingthemamentor,findoutwhatmakesthemwiser,thenengageinuseful

dialoguewiththem.（你显然想要成长，想要在生活中做得更好，对吗?最好的方法是找一些有智慧

的人做你的导师，比如老师、同事，甚至是特别的朋友。在成为他们的导师之前，找出是什么让

他们更聪明，然后与他们进行有益的对话）”可知，本段的主题为“以智者为师”，所以F项

"Themoretimeisspentwiththem,themoretransferofknowledgetherewillbe.（与他们相处的时间

越多，知识的传递就越多）”与本段主题相符，且F项中的“them”与上文中的“them”相呼

应。故选F项。

【20题详解】

根据上文“Ifyouhaveaccumulatedalotofknowledge,thenwhynotshareitwithotherstoo?（如果你

积累了很多知识，那么为什么不与他人分享呢?)"可知，本段提出积累了很多知识后要与他人分

享并积极帮助他人，所以G项“Communicatingwithothersandhelpingthemoutwillalsoincrease

yourwisdom.(与他人交流并帮助他们也会增加你的智慧。)”与本段主题相符，且G项中的

uCommunicatingwithothersv与上文中的shareitwithothers^相呼应。故选G项。
