【答案】24—27ADDC

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究，研究表明在寻找解决方案时，我们的大脑更倾向于

选择增加而不是减除，并介绍了研究结果的意义。

24.词句猜测题。戈U线词句前半部分“Astudyof8differentexperimentsshowedthatourbrainstend

topreferaddition（一项由8个不同实验组成的研究表明，我们的大脑更倾向于选择增加）''以及

后半部分“whenitcomestofindingsolutions-inmanycases,itseemswejustdon'tconsiderthe

strategyoftakingsomethingawayatall（在寻找解决方案时，在很多情况下，我们似乎根本没有

考虑过减掉某样东西的策略。户说明在寻找解决方案时，人们的大脑更倾向于选择增加而没有

考虑减掉某样东西的策略，从而推知划线部分“ratherthansubtraction（而不是subtraction）“其

中划线词汇应为“减掉”的意思，选项A“消除”与之意义最为接近。故选A项。

25.推理判断题。根据第二段“Theresearchersfoundthatthispreferenceforaddingwasnoticeable

inthreesituationsinparticular:whenpeoplewereunderhighercognitive（认知的）load,whenthere

waslesstimetoconsidertheotheroptions,andwhenvolunteersdidn'tgetaspecificreminderthat

subtractingwasanoption.（研究人员发现，这种选择增加的偏好在以下三种情况下尤为明显：

当人们的认知负荷较高时，当人们没有时间考虑其他选择时，当志愿者没有得到明确的提示，

减除是一种选项时。）"中"whentherewaslesstimetoconsidertheotheroptions”可推知,当人们

没有时间考虑其他选择，需要匆忙决定时，人们更喜欢选择增加。故选D项。

26.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Inoneoftheexperiments,participantswereaskedtoimprovea

Legostructuresothatitwasabletotakemoreweight.（在其中一个实验中，参与者被要求改进

Lego积木的结构，使其能够承受更多的重量。厂可知，实验要求参与者稳定Lego积木结构。

故选D项。

27.主旨大意题。根据第四段中"Ourbrainsmightfindadditivechangeseasiertoprocessperhaps,

orwemightbeassociatingaddingwithideasofsomethingthat'sbiggerandthereforebetterinour

subconscious.Theremightalsobeassociationsinourmindswiththecurrentstatusbeingsomething

thatneedstobemaintainedasmuchaspossible-andtakingsomethingawayisarguablymore

destructivetothecurrentstatusthanaddingsomethingnew.（我们的大脑可能会发现增力口的变化

更容易处理，或者我们可能会在潜意识中将增加与更大更好的想法联系起来。在我们的脑海

中可能还会有这样的联想：当前的状态是需要尽可能多地保持的，而拿走一些东西可能比增

加一些新东西对当前的状态更具破坏性。广可知，本段主要讲了大脑喜欢增加的原因。故选C

项。

【答案】28—31CBDA

【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍骤旱，相比传统干旱，发展更为迅速，预见期

更短，同时也难以预测，目前也缺乏有效的监测工具。

28.推理判断题。根据第一段“Flashdroughtsarerelativelynewfornaturaldisasters,andcome

onfast,withconditionsgoingfromnormaltoseverelydryinlessthanonemonth.Thismeans

peoplehavenotimetopreparefortheconsequences,whichcanincludedriedcrops,streamsor

wells.（骤旱是相对较新的自然灾害，而且来得很快，在不到一个月的时间里，情况从正常

到严重干旱。这意味着人们没有时间为后果做准备，这些后果可能包括农作物干涸、河流

干涸或水井干涸）''推知，第二段介绍2012年美国中部平原发生的骤旱以及其影响是为了

例进一步说明骤旱的特点。故选C。

29.细节理解题。根据第三段“Cookandhiscolleagues,usingtreeringdatapairedwithsoil

moisturedata,reconstructedthefrequencyandscaleofflashdroughtsintheCentralPlainsover

thepast500years.（在2021年发表的一项研究中，库克和他的同事利用树木年轮数据和土

壤湿度数据，重建了过去500年中原地区突发性干旱的频率和规模）”可知，库克和他的团

队主要利用数据来进行研究。故选B。

30.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Buttheyonlyprovideaguessofsoilmoisture,ratherthan

showingwhat9shappeningbeneaththesurface.（但它们只提供了土壤湿度的猜测，而没有显

示地表下发生了什么）”和最后一段“Thatexchangeish叩peninginwhatwecalltherootzone

aboutameterunderground,whichisdifficulttomonitorfromasatellite.（这种交换发生在我们

所说的地下一米左右的根区，这很难从卫星上监测到）“可知，检测工具依靠卫星图片，只

能猜测土壤水分，而看不到地下植物利用根部进行水分交换的情况。故选D。

31.主旨大意题。根据第一段"Flashdroughtsarerelativelynewfornaturaldisasters,andcome

onfast,withconditionsgoingfromnormaltoseverelydryinlessthanonemonth.（骤早是相对

较新的自然灾害，而且来得很快，在不到一个月的时间里，情况从正常到严重干旱）”及全

文可知，文章主要介绍骤旱，相比传统干旱，发展更为迅速，预见期更短，同时也难以预

测，目前也缺乏有效的监测工具。所以“WhatFlashDroughtsAre（什么是骤旱）”作为文章标

题最为合适。故选A。

【答案】32—35BDDC

【解析】本文是一篇说明文。总部设在伦敦的Notpla公司研发了以海草为原料的包装材

料,该产品可以替代一次性塑料制品。

32.B推理判断题。根据第二段“AccordingtotheUnitedNations,331millionkilogramsof

plasticgarbageisproducedannuallyaroundtheworld.Roughly60%oftheestimated9.15billion

tonsofplasticproducedsincetheearly1950shasbeentakentolandfillsorabandonedoutdoors.,5

（根据联合国的数据，全球每年产生3.31亿公斤塑料垃圾。自20世纪50年代初以来，估计

生产的91.5亿吨塑料中，约有60%被送往垃圾填埋场或遗弃在户外。）可知,作者使用列数

字的方式来写本段。故选B。

33.D词义猜测题。根据画线词所在的句子“Overseas,IndiastatedinAugustthatitplansto

putawidebanonsingle-useplasticsthisupcomingsummer,withtheEuropeanUnionalready

implementingthisban.5'（在海外，印度8月份表示，计划在即将到来的夏天全面禁止一次性

塑料，欧盟已经实施了这一禁令。）可知，在海外,印度于八月公布该国计划在夏季实行全国

范围的禁令，禁止使用一次性的塑料制品。欧盟此前己经执行这条禁令。故选D。

34.D主旨大意题。根据第四段“Seaweedcomesinavarietyofspeciesandcanbeharvestedor

farmed.Norplausesplantsthathavebeenfarmed.RodrigoGarciaGonzalezandPierrePaslie,the

inventorsofNotpla,initiallyconsideredseaweedasasolutiontotheworld'splasticproblemfor

severalreasons.Seaweedisabundantandgrowsquickly.Additionallyitdoesn'tcompetewith

landcropsandishighlyfavoredforitsabilitytoremovesomewasteproductslikecarbonfrom

theatmosphere.”（海藻种类繁多，可以收获或养殖。诺普拉使用人工种植的植物。Notpla的

发明者罗德里戈・加西亚•冈萨雷斯和皮埃尔•帕斯利最初认为海藻可以解决全球塑料问题，原

因有几个。海藻丰富，生长迅速。此外，它不与陆地作物竞争，并因其从大气中去除一些废

物（如碳）的能力而受到高度青睐。）可知,本段主要介绍了选择海草的优势。故选D。

35.C细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一-句“Thecompanyrecognizesthedifficultyofsucha

jobgiventhevolumeofplasticsconsumedaroundtheworld.”（考虑到全球塑料的消耗量，该

公司认识到这项工作的难度。）可知，这家公司认为要完全取代一次性塑料制品有点困难。

故选C。
