【31题详解】

细节理解题。由Starbucks介绍中的第二句"ThatmayhaveledhimtothinkofStarbuck,thefirstmatein

HermanMelville^famousnovel,MobyDickZ,可知，那可能让他想起了赫尔曼•麦尔维尔的著作《白鲸记》

中的第一个大副Starbuck。由此可见Starbuck的名字和文学作品有关。结合选项可知，选项C正确。

32题详解】

细节理解题。由Rolex介绍中的第二句"Hewantedanamethatwaseasytosay,workedindifferentlanguages,

andlookedgoodonthewatches.可知，他想要一个容易说，能用不同语言表示，并且在手表上看起来不错

的名字。由此可见，HansWilsdorf想要的名字应该是让人容易说，不同语言也可以表示它，这样人们才

能广泛地接受。结合选项可知，选项B正确。

【33题详解】

推理判断题。由全文内容可知，Pepsi介绍中的最后一句"Heclaimedthedrinkcouldhelpwithdigestion（消

化）,ordyspepsia,thetermfromwhichBradhamad叩tedthenamePepsi.",表示的是他声称这款饮料能帮助消

化或者消化不良，从这个术语Bradham改编了这个名字Pepsi。Cadillac介绍中的最后一句uThecompany

wasnamedaftertheFrenchexplorerAntoineLaumetdelaMotheCadillac,whofoundedthecityofDetroitin1701.

表示的是这个公司是以法国探险家AntonieLaumetDeLaMotheCadillac命名的，这位探险家在1701年发

现了底特律市。Starbucks介绍中的第二句"ThatmayhaveledhimtothinkofStarbuck,thefirstmatein

3

HermanMelville'sfamousnovel,MobyDick.”表示的是那可能让他想起了赫尔曼•麦尔维尔的著作《白鲸

记》中的第一个大副StarbuckoRolex介绍中的第二句"Hewantedanamethatwaseasytosay,workedin

differentlanguages,andlookedgoodonthewatches.表示的是他想要一个容易说，能用不同语言表示，并

且在手表上看起来不错的名字。由此可见，四家公司的名字都有它的故事和意义，所以公司的名字通常

有一个特殊的意义。结合选项可知，选项C正确。

书馆的方式持支持态度。故选B项。

D.understandtherearemorethehistoricalremainswaitingforexplorations

【答案】38.B39.A40.C41.C

【解析】

本文是一篇议论文。考古学家们认为考古学已不再是一种寻宝活动，而更像是一门科学。通过研究古代

人的遗迹，可以了解他们的日常生活。考古是连接现代人和很久以前的人的之间的桥梁。

【38题详解】

词义猜测题。根据划线词后的部分”...totouristsfbrchange”可知，村里的孩子们把最好的猫的木乃伊给

游客以换取零钱；因此可以推测，“peddle”意思为“兜售”，即向他人展示从而售出。故选B项。

【39题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第二段首句"Thosewerethedaysofgenerouslyfunded（资助的）explorations-thatdragged

throughacresofdesertintheirquestforroyaltombs,andforsplendidgoldandpaintedmaskstodecoratethe

museumsofEuropeandAmerica.,,那一段时间，人们花大价钱寻宝。人们跨越沙漠探险，为了寻找皇家皇

陵，寻找华丽的黄金面具来装饰欧洲和美洲的博物馆。因此可以推断，第二段主要讲述古代人们寻宝探

险。故选A项。

【40题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段中shecreatedagalleryforthecollection—abridgebetweenpeopletodayandthose

oflongago.以及最后一句Andinsteadofbeingatadistanceof5,000-plusyears,theancientEgyptiansbecome

clearerandclosertous.可知埃及古物学家SalimaIkram把她的收藏品创建了一个画廊，她认为这个画廊是

一座连接今天的人和很久以前的人的之间桥梁。这些收藏品让人们感觉古代人的生活离我们很近。因此

可以推断，她认为研究这些遗迹有助于把现代社会和过去联系在一起。故选C项。

[41题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段中archaeology（考古学）hasbecomelessofatreasurehuntandmoreofascience."和

第四段中They'rereallydisplaysofdailylift以及下文内容可知，考古学家们认为考古更多的是一门科学；

木乃伊是古埃及人日常生活的展示。研究这些遗骸是了解他们的途径，有助于在现代社会与过去之间建

立一座桥梁。因此这篇文章可能鼓励读者要重视古代遗迹的历史文化价值。故选C项。

theworldwouldbeabetterplace.如果每个人都考虑到自己的行为会对自己和他人产生怎样的影响，那么世

界将会变得更加美好。及结合全文可知，这篇文章告诉我们，我们负责任的行为将使世界变得更美好。

故选C项。

【43题详解】

细节理解题。根据第五段Forthisreason,thehardestpartofactingresponsiblyisadmittingthatwefailedorthat

wemadeamistake.因此，承担责任最困难的部分是承认我们失败或犯了错误。因此作者认为，承担责任

最困难的部分是承认自己的错误和道歉。故选D项。

Responsibility"责任的重要性”符合文章主旨，适合作文章标题。故选B项。

这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了坎特伯雷学院所开设课程的相关信息0

【33题详解】

细节理解题。由COURSEA中的"Thiscoursewillenablestudentstoexperienceperformingartsandthemedia

atabasiclevef可知，本课程为学生提供基本的演艺及传媒体验。所以苏珊娜想成为一名演员，她可以选

择CourseA。故A选项正确。

【32题详解】

推理判断题。由COURSEC中“Thiscoursegivesafoundationforacareerincaringforchildren,theelderlyor

peoplewithspecialneeds"可知，这门课程为照顾儿童、老人或有特殊需要的人提供基本的职业生涯培训I。

残疾人属于具有特殊需要的人群。所以判断出CourseC适合为残疾人士服务的学生。故B选项正确。

【33题详解】

推理判断题。由COURSEF中的“Thiscourseisdesignedtoprovideafoundationingraphicandvisual

communicationskills.Studentscompleteunitsinpicturecompositionandphotographicprocessingalongside

elementsofgraphicdesign,andgainhands-onexperienceofdesktoppublishingandpresentations"可知，本课程

旨在提供图形和视觉沟通技巧的基础。学生在平面设计的基础上完成图片构图和摄影处理的单元，并获

得桌面出版和演示的实践经验。所以通过对CourseF的说明可知，F课程所涉及到的信息都与广告有关。

故判断出如果大卫选择CourseF,他可能是一个对广告有兴趣的学生。故A选项正确。

【34题详解】

推理判断题。由“CanterburyCollege,COURSEA,COURSEB,COURSEC,COURSED,COURSEE,

COURSEF”可知，短文介绍了坎特伯雷学院所开设课程的相关信息。既然是学校提供的课程。所以判断

出我们可以在学校的网站上找到这篇短文。故C选项正确。

【点睛】根据事物的定义或者对事物总体的概括，从而判断出哪些具体事物或者具体的实践应该属于定义

的范围或者是概括的范围是我们经常见到的推理判断题的题型。要解决这样的判断题，首先要讲对事物

的定义或者对事物的总体概括要读清楚，然后根据对比4个选项，哪个选项在定义或者概括范围内的。哪

个就是正确的答案。

由COURSEC中“Thiscoursegivesafoundationforacareerincaringforchildren,theelderlyorpeoplewith

14

specialneedsM可知，这门课程为照顾儿童、老人或有特殊需要的人提供基本的职业生涯培训。残疾人属

于具有特殊需要的人群。所以判断出CourseC适合为残疾人士服务的学生。故小题2的正确选项为B选

项。
