部分解析阅读第一节A篇主题语境：人与自我——生活与学习本文是应用文。文章介绍了四本图书。21.D。理解具体信息。根据ParadiseonFire部分中的Whenafirebreaksoutatthewildernesscampsheattends,Addyknowswhattodo可知，Addy参加野营时遭遇了火灾。22.C。理解具体信息。根据Chunky部分中的Huditriesvarioussports.ButtheyalltakeHudiawayfromthethingthathetrulyloves:edy.Hisimaginaryfriend...helpHudiachievehisdreams.

Chunky

...Therearealsostoriesabout...Mostareshort,withsimpleplots.Youdon'thavetoreadagiantbookallinonego.Youcantakeitalittleatatime可知，BlackBoyJoy一书是短篇故事集。inonego

一举；一下子。B篇主题语境：人与社会——文学本文是记叙文。作者分享了自己在写作路上遭遇的坎坷和自己的成功经历。24.C。理解具体信息。根据第一段中的mostofmyessayswentignoredafterIshotthemoffintotheblackholeoftheInternet以及第二段中的frustration可知，作者投出的大多数作品都石沉大海，这让她很沮丧。25.A。理解具体信息。根据第二段中的Idecidedtogobacktoschool.Lastsummer,ItookawritingclasswithTheNewYorkTimesbestsellingauthorSusanShapiro可知，为了提升自己的写作能力，作者决定继续深造，参加了《纽约时报》一位畅销书作家的写作课程。26.D。理解具体信息。根据第四段中的Forourlastclass,Shapiroencouragedustowriteaboutourmostembarrassingsecret和Fiveweekslater,myessay,

“Iaminsecureaboutmyface.Forme,masksareliberating”,waspublishedinTheWashingtonPost可知，在最后一节课上，Shapiro鼓励作者把自己最难以启齿的秘密写出来，作者由此获得了写作灵感，文章也终于刊登在了主流媒体上。27.D。理解主旨要义。通过阅读全文可知，作者酷爱写作，但是却屡屡受挫。然而，作者没有选择放弃，她决定继续努力，参加了畅销书作家的写作课程，不断提升自己的写作能力。在老师的指点下，作者终于获得了成功，成为了一名儿童文学作家。由此可知，作者的故事告诉读者只要坚持不懈、永不放弃就一定会有回报。C篇主题语境：人与自我——做人与做事本文是新闻报道。由于罕见疾病而不幸左眼失明的Abbott凭借顽强的毅力成功征服了世界之巅。28.A。理解具体信息题。根据第二段中的Butfivemonthslater,shesuddenlylostthevisioninherlefteye和第三段中的Losinghereyesight可知，Abbott在51岁时不幸左眼失明。29.B。理解目的。根据第四段中的ShedecidedtomakeherQomolangmaclimbanawarenessandfundraisingcampaignforWegener'sgranulomatosisandotherrarediseases可知，Abbott想通过攀登珠峰让公众关注罕见病。30.D。理解词汇。根据第八段中的Sightproblemsmeantsheclimbeddowntheicewallpracticallyblind.Andasidefromthat,shesufferedonlysomeminorinjuriesandfrostbite可知，对Abbott来说，下山比上山更危险。treacherous意为“有潜在危险的”。practically几乎；

asidefrom...

除……之外。31.C。推断。根据第三段中的Theblindnesswasagoodthinginaway、第四段中的ButherdiagnosisdidnotmeantheendtoherdreamofclimbingQomolangma.Instead,Abbottcontinuedhertrainingclimbs以及最后一段中的Butshewon'tbehomeforlong.Nextup:takingherhusbandonadivingtrip可知，Abbott虽然身患罕见疾病，左眼不幸失明，但是她并没有被疾病打倒，反而成功征服了世界之巅，因此Abbott是一位积极乐观并且意志坚定的人。D篇主题语境：人与社会——科学与技术本文是说明文。科技发展正在为老年人的生活提供更多的便利与保障。32.B。理解具体信息。根据第一段中的inside,GeorgiaTechresearchersaretestinganddevelopingnewdevices和第二段中的Thehouseisactuallyalivinglab,calledtheAwareHome可知，该处房屋是一个科研实验室。33.A。理解具体信息。根据第四段中的Thesensorwillautomaticallyturnthestoveoffifitnolongerdetectsmovementaroundtheapplianceafteracertainperiodoftime可知，该设备长时间感知不到炉具附近的动静时，会自动关掉它。34.C。推断。根据第五段中Mynatt所说的Theywilllearnmoreaboutyourhabits,yourlikes,yourdislikes,yourroutines,whenyou'remostlikelytoforgettotakeyourmedicine,whataretheaspectsofyourhealththatneedthemostattention可知，未来智能家居设备会收集数据，更加了解用户的习惯、喜好、日常作息、常忘吃药的时间和需要特别关注的健康问题。因此可推断，她认为未来智能家居设备会变得更加个性化。35.A。推断。根据最后一段中的AlbertBoletofAtlantathinksmostolderadultsaretypicallyreadytobringtechnologyintotheirhomes及AlbertBolet

所说的Peoplehavethemisguidedimpressionthatseniorsareopposedtotechnology

和Wedounderstandwirelesstechnology,andweunderstandhowthesethingswillmakethingseasier.Beingindependentismostimportantinthemindofanybodythatgetstobeourageorolder可推断，Bolet认为大多数老年人乐意使用智能家居设备。第二节主题语境：人与自我——做人与做事本文是议论文。作者分享了自己对成功的看法。36.D。根据上文中的youmustsetyourowngoalsandideaofsuccess和notwhattelevisionoryourparentswant可知，作者认为我们应该根据自己的目标定义成功，因此D项符合本段内容。D项中的you,yourlife,andyouridea与上文中的yourown和youwant相照应。37.F。根据上文中的IfIweretodefinewhatsuccessis,Iwouldstartsmall和下文中的Icanwrite
