【解析】

的行程等内容。

[21题详解】

细节理解题。根据BookingFlights中“ThecheapestmonthtoflyisMarch,especiallyifyoucanleaveona

Monday,Tuesday,orWednesday.You'llsaveevenmoremoneybybookingaround90daysinadvance.（乘飞机最

便宜的月份是三月份，尤其是如果你能在周一、周二或周三出发的话。如果提前90天左右预订，你会节省

更多的钱）”可知，三月份的机票最便宜，提前90天预定可以更便宜，因此十二月时预订三月的机票可以

省下最多的钱。故选c项。

【22题详解】

细节理解题。根据EnjoyingYourTime部分GototheLouvretoseeworld-famousart中“TheLouvrecosts

€15atthemuseumor€17inadvance（toskipmostoftheline）.（卢浮宫的票价是15欧元，或者优先票17欧元

（可以跳过大部分队伍））”可知，我们可以在卢浮宫多花2欧元（=17-15）来节省排队时间。故选D项。

【23题详解】

推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“ArelaxingtriptoParistakesalittlebitofplanning.Herearesometips

foryoutomakeyourtripsmooth.（一次轻松的巴黎之旅需要一点计划。这里有一些小贴士可以让你的旅行顺

利）”可知，文章主要介绍了前往巴黎旅行的一些建议，包括制定计划、预定机票和四个景点的行程方面的

内容。由此推知，文章应该是出自旅游手册。故选B项。

献。故选A。

[27题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段"WhenIreflectonmyaccomplishments,I,mespeciallyproudofmyserviceatthe

oldfolks'home,soIhopetostudysocialworkatuniversityandworkasasocialworkerinthefuture.Iwishtobe

moreskilledinattendingtothelessfortunateandfindgreatsatisfactioninit,afterall.（当我反思我的成就时，我

【答案】28.D29.C30.A31.B

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了AngelaDuckworth等人的研究显示，聪明和成功之间没有必然联

系，但毅力会影响成功，且毅力受到教育程度的影响，但MarcusCred6等人对毅力意味着成功的观点表示

质疑，他们认为毅力并不能预示成功。

[28题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段中“Justbeingsmartdoesn'tmeansomeonewillbesuccessful.（聪明并不意味着一定

会成功）”可知，聪明的人未必会成功。故选D项。

[29题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段中"Shealsofoundthatgritincreaseswitheducation.Peoplewhohadfinishedcollege

scoredhigherinthegrittestthanpeoplewhoquitbeforegraduationdid.Peoplewhowenttograduateschoolafter

collegescoredevenhigher.（她还发现，毅力随着教育程度的提高而增加。在毅力测试中，大学毕业的人比毕

业前辍学的人得分更高。大学毕业后去读研的人得分更高）”可知，AngelaDuckworth发现，教育程度可以

影响一个人的毅力，后者随着前者的提高而增加。故选C项。

【30题详解】

词句猜测题。根据划线词的上一段中“Soshecomparedscoresoncollege-entranceexams,whichtestIQ,to

schoolgradesandsomeone'sscoreinthegrittest.Studentswithhighergradesseemtohavemoregrit.（因此，她

将测试智商的大学入学考试的分数与学校成绩和某人在毅力测试中的分数进行了比较。成绩越高的学生似

乎更有毅力）”可知，AngelaDuckworth的研究发现毅力和成功有很大关系，再结合划线词前的But可知，

此处有转折。由此推知，一些人反对毅力意味着成功这个观点，counter意思应该是“反对，质疑"，与doubt

意思相近。故选A项。

[31题详解】

细节理解题。根据最后一段中“"Wecanteachstudentshowtostudywell.Wecanhelpthemwiththeirtest

anxiety,5,headds."I'mnotsurewecandothatwithgrit.^^（"我们可以教学生如何好好学习。我们可以帮助他

们缓解考试焦虑，”他补充道。“我不确定我们能否把毅力教给他们。“）”可知，在CredC看来，毅力这

种品质无法在学校中教授。故选B项。

【答案】32.D33.B34.C35.A

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了电灯好处和缺点，介绍了光污染严重的问题。

【32题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段"Electriclightcanbeabeautifulthing,guidingushomewhenthesungoesdown,

keepingussafeandmakingourhomesbright.However,likecarbondioxideemissionsandplastic,toomuchofa

goodthinghasstartedtoimpacttheenvironment.Lightpollution,theinappropriateuseofoutdoorlight,is

时指引我们回家，保证我们的安全，让我们的家明亮。然而，就像二氧化碳排放和塑料一样，太多的好

东西已经开始影响环境。光污染，即户外光的不当使用，正在影响人类健康、野生动物行为和我们观察

星星的能力）”可知，电灯给人类带来光明与方便，但太多灯光也有许多弊端。故选D。

【33题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段"VastareasofNorthAmerica,Europe,theMiddleEastandAsiaareglowing（发光）

withlight,whileonlythemostremoteregionsonEarth（Greenland,CentralAfricanRepublicandNiue）arein

totaldarkness.（北美、欧洲、中东和亚洲的大片地区灯火通明，而地球上只有最偏远的地区（格陵兰岛、

中非共和国和纽埃）一片漆黑）”可知，纽埃受城市光污染最小。故选B。

【34题详解】

细节理解题。根据倒数第二段aAstronomersareparticularlyconcernedwithskyglowpollutionasitreduces

theirabilitytoviewstars.（天文学家特别关注天空辉光污染，因为它降低了他们观察恒星的能力）“可知，

光污染给天文学家观察星空造成不便。故选C。

【35题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Lightpollutionisaglobalissue.（光污染是一个全球性问题）”并结合其他内容

可知，文章主要说明了电灯的好处和缺点，介绍了光污染严重的问题。由此可知，A选项“光污染”最

符合文章标题。故选A。
