【解析】

这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了伦敦的五个著名景点（白金汉宫；大本钟；威斯敏斯特宫；伦敦塔和

特拉法尔加广场）的地理位置和历史以及用途等。

[21题详解】

细节理解题。根据选项的建造历史可知，具有最长历史的是TheTowerofLondon,从14世纪开始，

“帝国皇冠”就放在这里了。第二个是建于1703年的前白金汉宫。故选D。

【22题详解】

细节理解题。根据"Sincethebeginningofthe14thcentury,thetowerofLondonhasbeenthehomeofthe

worldfamousBritishCrownJewels-theyareamustofyourvisit!可知，自14世纪初以来，伦敦塔一

直是世界著名的英国皇冠珠宝的存放之地一它们是你参观的必到之处！故选B。

【23题详解】

细节理解题。根据"Itwasnamedin1835togivehonourtothememoryoftheBritishvictoryoverthe

FrenchatTrafalgarin1805.”可知，TrafalgarSquare是纪念1805年英国在特拉法加战胜法国这个历

史事件。故选A。

【解析】

【分析】

这是一篇说明文。一些科学家认为，地球上最聪明的生物之一就是章鱼。到目前为止，人们对章鱼

也是知之甚少。

【24题详解】

推理判断题。第二段谈到：章鱼通常生活在河口和海洋的底部，这些地方对研究人员没有吸引力。

它们不是群居动物，因此很难研究它们与其它动物的相互作用。而且章鱼的智力也不容易被人类理

解。章鱼看起来像外星人。科学家需要有丰富的想象力才能理解章鱼在想什么！由这些可推知，人

们对章鱼的理解很少。故选B。

[25题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段“However,theirbrainsweresoplexthatthescientistsfeltitofnosignificance

tocontinuewithit.”信息可知，科学家发现章鱼的大脑是如此复杂，他们觉得继续研究下去是没有用

的。由此可知他们最终放弃了研究。故选A。

【26题详解】

词义猜测题。本句前面谈到：章鱼最惊人的地方在于它们改变颜色和身体形态的能力；由本句后面

的"toavoidtheirenemies（以逃避敌人）”可知,它们这样做是为了伪装自己以躲避敌人。A.Relax

放松，休息；B.Strengthen加强，增强；C.Hide隐蔽，躲避；D.Express表达。故选C。

【27题详解】

细节理解题。最后一段作者谈到“There'salongwaytogotogettoknowtheoctopuspletely.（完全了

解章鱼还有很长的路要走）”，可知作者认为要了解章鱼不容易。故选D。

【点睛】猜测词义题在高考中有三种考查形式：生词猜测词义或熟词生义、猜测一句话的意思、指

代关系猜词（代词或者名词）。从近三年考查形势看，三种考查方式同等重要。本文中考查的是生词

猜测词义。这种题型的解法主要是在生词后找到其释义句。例如本题中的第三题考查的就是生词词

义猜测，由划线单词后表达的目的“toavoidtheirenemies（以躲避敌人）”可知，章鱼是要保护它

们自己。划线单词意思与avoid是相呼应的。据此即可选出正确答案。

【解析】

【分析】

这是一篇记叙文。位于肯尼亚内罗毕附近的长颈鹿庄园是世界上唯一家以长颈鹿为主题的酒店，

庄园的主人卡尔哈特雷夫妇以与9只罗斯柴尔德长颈鹿同住而闻名。这种世界上最高的动物自由徜

徉在庄园里，每天快到9时的时候，这些长颈鹿就会漫步房前，穿过窗户或者门把脑袋探进房间寻

找美味早餐。

[28题详解】

细节理解题。第一段中提到"Everydayshortlybefore9am,theyeuptothehouseandsticktheirheads

throughthewindowsanddoorsinsearchofmorningtreats.Themanor'sowners,TanyaandMikey

Carr-Hartley,sharetheirdiningtablew汕them.（九只罗斯柴尔德长颈鹿，可以在这个英式庄园里自由

漫步。每天上午快到9点的时候，它们就会来到这所房子里，把头伸进窗户和门里寻找早餐。庄园

的主人Tanya和M汰eyCarr-Hartley与他们共用一张餐桌）”，由这些信息可知，卡尔哈特雷一家之

所以特别是因为他们与长颈鹿共享他们的生活。故选Bo

【29题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段提及的“Mikey'sfamilyhavebeenrelatedtotheprotectionofanimalsformany

generations.Hisgranddadhelpedtheremovalofgiraffesasfarbackasthe1930sbecausetheRothschild
