参考答案

1.答案：B

解析：细节理解题。由MajorActivitiesfortheFinalists中“♦Respondtoquestionsattheir

booths（展示台）from2pmto4pmonOctober20.（10月20日下午2点至4点在他们的

展位回答问题）”可知，10月20日下午，决赛选手将参加问答环节。故选B项。

2.答案：B

解析：细节理解题。由TimeforVirtualExhibition中“Itwillopenat10amonOctober20

andwillbeavailabletothepublicthroughNovember4.（它将于10月20日上午10点开

放，直到n月4日公众可参加）”可知，此次网上虚拟展览大约持续半个月的时间。故

选B项。

3.答案：C

解析：推理判断题。由MoreaboutVirtualExhibition中“♦TheSocietywillbeproviding

educationalmaterialsforeducatorswhoareinterestedinbringingstudentstotheexhibition

foradigitalfieldtrip.（该协会将为有兴趣带学生参加展览进行数字实地考察的教育工作

者提供教育材料）”可知，此次网上虚拟展览给教育者和学生带来益处。故选C项。

4.答案：C

解析：推理判断题。根据第二段“Duringthesummermonths,whenthedaysarelongand

thesunisbright,reindeer'stapetumlucidum（荧光膜），amirror-likelayeratthebackoftheir

eye,appearsgolden,whichhelpsbouncethemajorityoflightofftheeyes,effectivelyacting

likeapairofnaturalsunglasses.Aswintercomes,andthedaysbecomeshorteranddarker,

thetapetumlucidumturnsbluetoabsorbmorelight,allowingreindeertoimprovetheirnight

visionandseeclearinlowlightconditions.（在夏季的几个月里，白天变长，阳光充足，

驯鹿眼睛后部的镜面状的荧光膜呈现出金色，有助于反射眼睛上的大部分光线，有效

地起到一副天然太阳镜的作用。随着冬天的到来，白天变短变暗，荧光膜变成蓝色以

吸收更多的光线，这使得驯鹿能够提高他们的夜视能力，在弱光条件下也能看得更清

楚）”可知，夏季阳光充足时驯鹿眼睛中的荧光膜呈金色，反射大部分光线，冬季阳光

减少时荧光膜呈蓝色，吸收更多的光线。由此可知，荧光膜帮助驯鹿适应季节变化。

故选C项。

5.答案：D

解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中“ThisUVvisionenablesthemtospotfoodand

predatorsmoreeffectivelyinthesnowylandscape.（这种紫外线视觉使它们能够在雪地里

更有效地发现食物和捕食者）”可知，紫外线视觉让驯鹿在雪天更好地定位食物和天

敌。故选D项。

6.答案：B

解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Inwinter,thecollagenfibersbecomepacked

tighter,causingthetapetumlucidumtomainlyreflectbluelight.（在冬天，胶原纤维变得更

紧，导致荧光膜主要反射蓝光）"和下文"Insummer,thereindeer'spupilsreturntoa

smallersize,whichhelpsreindeerreducetheamountoflightenteringtheeye.（在夏天，驯

鹿的瞳孔会变小，这有助于驯鹿减少进入眼睛的光线量）”可知，此处描述驯鹿眼睛中

荧光膜在冬季和夏季的工作机制，夏季时瞳孔会变小，减少进入眼睛的光线量。由此

推知，冬天瞳孔会变大，增加进入眼睛的光线量，dilate意思应该是“扩大”，与expand

意思相近。故选B项。

7.答案：A

解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Today,theincreasinguseofartificiallighting,

especiallyduringthewintermonths,posesapotentialthreattotheirsensitiveeyes.Itcan

makereindeerlosetheirway,affectingtheirabilitytosurviveintheirchallenging

environment.Soitiscrucialforustobemindfulofouruseofelectricityandmakeeffortsto

minimizelightpollutiontoensurethewell-beingandsurvivalofthesemagnificentcreatures.

（如今，人工照明的使用越来越多，尤其是在冬季，这对它们敏感的眼睛构成了潜在的

威胁。它会使驯鹿迷失方向，影响它们在恶劣环境中的生存能力。因此，对我们来说

至关重要的是要注意我们的用电，努力减少光污染，以确保这些出色生物的健康和生

存）”可推知，本段主要说明人工照明的使用对驯鹿敏感的眼睛构成了潜在的威胁，呼

吁我们保护驯鹿免受光污染。故选A项。

8.答案：C

解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中“Practicemakesperfect"isaverypopularexpression.

However,canwetakethissayingliterally?（"熟能生巧”是一个非常流行的表达。然而，我

们能从字面上理解这句话吗？）可知，这篇文章讨论了“熟能生巧”的观点是我们所熟知

的观点，但是否能够从字面上来理解这句话，由此引起读者思考，同时引出文章的主

题。C选项“Toinspireareflection.（引起思考）”符合题意。故选C。

9.答案：B

解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中However,Gladwell'sbookhasbeensaidbymanytobe

toosimplisticandgeneralising.AlthoughGladwell'sworkwaslargelybasedonresearch

donebyAndersEricsson,Ericssonarguedthat10,000hourswasjustanaveragefigure.Some

people,forexample,neededfarfewerthan10,000hours,andothersmanymore.（然而，许

多人认为Gladwell的书过于简单化和泛化。尽管Gladwell的研究工作主要基于Anders

Ericsson的研究，但Ericsson认为，1万小时只是一个平均数字。例如，有些人需要的

睡眠时间远少于1万个小时，而有些人则需要更多。）以及“Moreimportantly,Ericsson

saidthatjustpractisingalotwasnotenough;thetypeandqualityofpracticewerealso

significant.（更重要的是，Ericsson说，仅仅练习很多是不够的；实践的类型和质量也

很重要。）“可知，Gladwell的研究工作主要基于Ericsson的研究，Gladwell认为如果一

个人练习至少1万个小时，他们就会达到“完美”；但Ericsson所持有的观点与

Gladwell研究观点是不同的，Ericsson说，仅仅练习很多是不够的；实践的类型和质量

也很重要。因此Gladwell曲解了Ericsson的研究。故选B。

10.答案：B

解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Naturaltalentisanimportantfactor,whichis

especiallyevidentinsports.Forinstance,manybaseballplayersinAmericahaveamazing

visionthatallowsthemtoseetheballmuchsoonerthanothersdo.（天赋是一个重要因素，

这在体育运动中尤为明显。例如，美国的许多棒球运动员有惊人的视力，使他们能比

别人更快地看到球。厂可知，美国的许多棒球运动员有惊人的视力，使他们能比别人

更快地看到球，这是身体天赋使许多美国棒球运动员出类拔萃。故选B。

11.答案：D

解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“Inconclusion,practicemaynotmakeperfect,but

deliberatepracticehasbeenshowntoleadtosignificantimprovement.（总之，练习不一定

能达到完美，但是刻意的练习已经被证明能带来显著的进步。）”可知，作者认为练习

不一定能达到完美但是刻意的练习已经被证明能带来显著的进步，即熟能生巧。故选

Do

D

12.答案：C

解析：推理判断题。根据第三段的"Theyfoundthemostimportantaspectinhowhappy

andhealthythesemenwereovertimewastheirrelationships.Inotherwords:Finding

happinessinlifeisallaboutthepeopleyoulove.（他们发现，随着时间的推移，这些人的

幸福和健康程度的最重要的方面是他们的人际关系。换句话说：生活中寻找幸福的关

键在于你爱的人）”可知，要想获得幸福，人际关系非常重要，特别是与你爱的人的关

系，因此推断，要珍惜与你爱的人在一起的时间。故选C。

13.答案：D

解析：推理判断题。根据第五段的“However,thestudyonlyincludedmen,andimportant

genderdifferencesexistinhowpeopleexperiencerelationships4然而，这项研究只包括了

男性，并且人们如何体验关系存在重要的性别差异）”和最后一句"Soifspossiblethat

havingcloserelationshipsthroughouttheirlivesmightaffectmendifferentlythanwomen.（S

此，终生保持亲密关系可能会对男性和女性产生不同的影响）”可知，这项研究只针对

男性，而男性和女性在保持和体验人际关系方面存在不同，因此推断这项发现或许不

适用女性。故选D。

14.答案：B

解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段的"Unfbrtunatelyfortheyoungestgenerations,recent

surveysfoundthatyoungAmericansarelonelierthanoldergenerations.（不幸的是，对最

年轻的一代人来说，最近的调查发现，年轻的美国人比老一辈人更孤独）”可知，最年

轻的一代是不幸的是因为他们在社交方面是更孤独的。故选B。

15.答案：A

解析：主旨大意题。通读全文并结合第三段“Theyfoundthemostimportantaspectin

howhappyandhealthythesemenwereovertimewastheirrelationships.Inotherwords:

Findinghappinessinlifeisallaboutthepeopleyoulove.（他们发现，随着时间的推移，这

些人的幸福和健康程度的最重要的方面是他们的人际关系。换句话说:在生活中找到幸

福是和你爱的人有关的。）”可知，文章主要讲述了研究表明人际关系对于幸福的重要

的，特别是与你爱的人的关系，因此推断A项“亲密的关系使生活幸福”要为最佳标

题。故选A。

16.答案：GFADE

解析：①上文"Whenspeakingwithaworkmate,avoidingeyecontactmakesyoulook

unprofessional（不专业的）.Italsoshowsthatyouarenotconfidentorshownointerestinthe

topic.（与同事交谈时，避免眼神交流会让你看起来不专业。这也表明你对这个话题不自

信或不感兴趣）”说明避免眼神交流是错误的肢体语言，G项“因此，你应该始终保持眼

神交流，尤其是在你提出观点时。”介绍眼神交流的正确方式，承接上文，符合题意。

故选G。

②上文“Crossingyourarmsshowsthatyouarenotopentoothersandthatyouwantto

defendyourself.Thisisgenerallyconsideredasapositionofdefence.（双臂交叉表明你对他

人不开放，你想保护自己。这通常被认为是一种防御姿态）”说明双臂交叉是错误的肢

体语言，表明你对他人不开放，F项“为了给别人一种温暖的感觉，只需张开双臂。”

介绍双臂摆放的正确方式，承接上文，符合题意。故选F。

③下文“Checkingthetimeeveryfewminutesmakespeoplefeelyouareinahurryorwould

ratherbesomewhereelse.Itlookslikeyouarenotinterestedinbeingthere.（每隔几分钟查

看一次时间会让人们觉得你很匆忙，或者宁愿去别的地方。看起来你对去那里不感兴

趣）”说明频繁地查看时间是错误的肢体语言，A项“查看时间。”引出下文内容，可以作

为段落标题句。故选A。

④上文“Itisimportanttostandorsitupstraightwhenspeakingtosomebody.（与某人交谈

时，站直或坐直很重要）”介绍与人交谈时正确的肢体语言，结合常识，与人交谈时站

直或者坐直会表明说话者对自己很有信心，D项“这表明你对自己有信心。”承接上

文，符合题意。故选D。

⑤上文“Aweakhandshakemeansthatyoudon'tcaremuchaboutthepersonyouareshaking

handswith.（握手无力意味着你不太关心和你握手的人）”说明握手无力是错误的行为，E

项“试着用坚定的握手来问候别人。”介绍正确的握手方式，符合题意。故选E。
