【答案】4.C5,A6.B7,C

【解析】

【导语】本篇是一篇记叙文。叙述了作者从对攀登珠穆朗玛峰的态度从厌恶转向重新考虑这座山及其攀登

精神的变化过程。

【4题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章第一段“TheideaofclimbingMt.Qomolangmadisgustedme.Themountaincameto

representtheoppositeofeverythingthatIlovedandrespectedaboutclimbing.Whathadoncebeenthefinal

mountainclimbinggoalbecamethefocusofacommercialguidingindustry.Overtheyears,thecrowdsatBase

Campgrew,leavingbehindtonsoftrash.WheneverIwasaskedwhetherI'dclimbMt.Qomolangma,myanswer

wasalwaysthesame:notinterested.（攀登珠穆朗玛峰的想法令我厌恶。这座山成了我热爱和尊敬的攀岩运动

的对立面。曾经的最终登山目标变成了商业导游业的焦点。这些年来，大本营的人越来越多，留下了成吨

的垃圾。每当有人问我是否会攀登珠穆朗玛峰，我的回答总是一样的:不感兴趣）”可知，作者不喜欢攀登珠

穆朗玛峰，是因为攀登这座山成为了一个商业活动，导致了营地人满为患、垃圾成堆，由此可推断出作者

反感珠穆朗玛峰的原因是攀登活动被利益驱动所主导。故选Co

【5题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章第二段“ThatwasprobablywheremypersonalMt.Qomolangmastorywouldhaveended,

wereitnotforanoldfriendThomPollardandhisobsessionwithoneofthegreatestmysteries.（如果不是因为老朋

友Mt.Qomolangma和他对最大的谜团之一的痴迷，我个人的珠穆朗玛峰故事可能就此结束了）”以及第三

段“Pollard'sstorymovedme.（Pollard的故事感动了我）”可知，是ThomPollard的坚持和故事激励了作者去

攀爬珠穆朗玛峰。故选A。

【6题详解】

词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Alongtheway,Icontinuouslytippedmyhat,notjusttoMalloryandIrvinebutto

anyonewhohasthedrivetopushhimselforherselfupthisroute.（我不断地tippedmyhat,不仅是对Mallory和

Irvine,也是对任何有动力推动自己走上这条路的人）”可知，作者在攀登的过程中向那些有勇气攀登的人表

达敬意，推断出“tippedmyhat”意为“表示敬意”。故选B。

第4页/共21页

【7题详解】

主旨大意题。根据最后一段“IwenttoMt.QomolangmatoseekIrvine.Butintheend,Ifoundsomethingmore

difficulttoget:thespiritthatIrvineandMalloryshared.Itwashidinginplainsight,rightwhereithasalwaysbeen:

insidethebravesoulswhorisksomuchtofollowinstoriedadventurers5footstepsupMt.Qomolangma.“（我去珠

穆朗玛峰寻找欧文。但最后，我发现了更难得到的东西：欧文和马洛里共有的精神。它隐藏在人们的视线

中，就在它一直存在的地方：在那些冒着巨大风险追随传奇冒险家的脚步攀登珠穆朗玛峰的勇敢的灵魂里。）

可知，文章传达的信息主要是珠穆朗玛峰攀登者的精神值得尊敬。故选C。

thekindofslow-paced,low-carbonlifestylethatIrelatetosomuch（城市漫步就是在探索城市的过程中做任何

你想做的事情，它实际上是一种慢节奏、低碳的生活方式，我非常喜欢）”可推知，因为不同于传统的团体

第6页/共21页

游，城市漫步是探索城市的一种更愉快、更个人化的方式，所以赵称城市漫步是“重新发现一个城市”的

最好方式。故选c项。

【9题详解】

细节理解题。根据第四段中“Thetrendingcity-walkculture,whichencouragesexperiencingurbanlifewithno

transportationmeansexceptone'slegsandfeet,hasalsomadesplashesonvarioussocialmediaplatforms.（流行的

城市漫步文化也在各大社交媒体平台上引起了轰动，这种文化鼓励人们在除了腿和脚之外没有任何交通工

具的情况下体验城市生活）”可知，城市漫步文化鼓励人们在没有交通工具的情况下体验自由城市生活。故

选B项。

【10题详解】

推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中"Onthevideo-sharingappDouyin,theChineseversionofTik-Tok,arecent

过17.1万个赞，有7.2万名不同年龄的观众把这段视频加到了自己的收藏中。根据生活方式分享平台小红

书的一份报告，今年上半年，关于城市漫步的搜索量比去年增长了30倍）”可知，城市漫步在抖音和小红书

两个平台上都是热门话题。由此可知，城市漫步在互联网上很受欢迎。故选A项。

【11题详解】

主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第四段"Comparedwithtightlyscheduledroutes（路线）andpicture-takingtours,

city-walkingfocusesonfree,casualandspontaneous（自发的）experiences.Thetrendingcity-walkculture,which

encouragesexperiencingurbanlifewithnotransportationmeansexceptone'slegsandfeet,hasalsomadesplashes

的旅游方式，满足了人们以一种更沉浸式的方式探索城市的需求，是一种慢节奏、低碳的生活方式，受到

了人们的喜爱。因此，B项“漫步文化在城市中流行起来”契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选B项。

【解析】

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了麻省理工学院的DamianStefaniuk及其同事开发的一种使用水、

水泥和煤灰这三种基本且廉价的材料制成的新型储能装置一一超级电容器，并说明了其优势、应用及潜力。

【12题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Supercapacitorsarehighlyefficientatstoringenergybutdifferfrombatteriesin

someimportantways.Theycanchargemuchmorequicklythanalithium（锂）batteryanddon'texperiencethe

samelevelofperformancedeclineovertime.（超级电容器在储存能量方面效率很高，但在一些重要方面与电池

不同。它们的充电速度比锂电池快得多，而且随着时间的推移，性能不会像锂电池那样下降。）”可知，与

电池相比，超级电容器的优势是它们能长时间有效工作。故选D。

【13题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章第四段“HeandhisfellowresearchersatMITenvisionseveralapplicationsfortheir

汽车在路上行驶时，释放能量为电动汽车无线充电。超级电容器快速释放能量，可以让车辆的电池快速充

电。另一种应用是在房屋的地基或墙壁中使用超级电容器，这样房屋的这些部分不仅可以支撑结构，还可

以储存能量。）”可知，作者通过举例说明了超级电容器在道路上无线充电和为房屋提供能源等方面的应用。

故选Ao

【14题详解】

【答案】16.E17.F18.D19.B20.G

【解析】

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了音乐可以改善睡眠，解释了背后的原因。

【16题详解】

根据上文“Evenifyoucanfinallyfallasleep,takingtoolongtofallasleepcanleadtotoofewhoursofsleep

altogether.（即使你最终能睡着，花太长时间入睡也会导致睡眠时间太少）”以及后文"Sopeoplehavingtrouble

fallingasleepalwayswonderhowtheycansleepwell.（所以入睡困难的人总是想知道他们如何才能睡得好）”可

知，本句承接上文，说明花太长时间入睡的情况对人们的影响，后文给出解决方案。故E选项“如果这种

情况持续下去，会对一个人的生活质量产生严重的影响”符合语境，故选E。

【17题详解】

根据上文uParentsknowfromexperiencethatgentlemusiccanhelpbabiesfallasleep.Sciencesupportsthis,

showingthatchildrenofallages,frombabiestoelementaryschoolchildren,sleepbetterafterlisteningto

comfortablemusic.Fortunately,childrenaren'ttheonlyoneswhocanbenefitfromgentlemusicbefore

bedtime.（父母从经验中知道轻柔的音乐可以帮助婴儿入睡。科学支持这一点，表明所有年龄段的孩子，从婴

儿到小学生，在听了舒适的音乐后睡得更好。幸运的是，孩子并不是唯一能从睡前轻柔的音乐中受益的人）”

可知，上文提到“孩子并不是唯一能从睡前轻柔的音乐中受益的人”，说明其他年龄段的人也可以从中受

益。故F选项“各年龄段的人都说听轻音乐后睡眠质量更好”符合语境，故选F。

【18题详解】

根据上文uListeningtomusiclikelyimprovessleepformorethanonereason.Musiccanpromotesleepdirectly

byaffectingyourphysiology（生理机能）.（听音乐可能改善睡眠的原因不止一个。音乐可以通过影响你的生理

机能直接促进睡眠）”可知，本句具体说明音乐是如何影响生理机能促进睡眠的。故D选项“听音乐可以减

轻你的压力，激发积极的情绪”符合语境，故选D。

【19题详解】

根据后文uStudieshavelookedatmanytypesofmusicandplaylistsbutthereisn'taclearansweraboutthebest

musicforsleep.（研究考察了许多类型的音乐和播放列表，但对于最适合睡眠的音乐，还没有一个明确的答案）”

可知，本句与最适合睡觉的音乐类型有关，B选项type对应后文types。故B选项“想知道最适合睡觉的音

乐类型是很自然的"符合语境，故选B。

第11页/共21页

[20题详解】

根据上文uOneofthemostimportantthingsonhowmusicaffectsaperson'sbodyistheirownmusical

preferences4关于音乐如何影响一个人的身体，最重要的一点是他们自己的音乐偏好）”以及后文uForthose

whodon'twanttodesigntheirownplaylist,onlinemusicserviceshavesteppedinandusuallyofferplaylistsfor

sleeporrelaxation^对于那些不想设计自己的播放列表的人来说，在线音乐服务已经介入，通常提供睡眠或

放松的播放列表）”可知，本句主要说明设计个人播放列表来促进睡眠。故G选项“有用的个人播放列表可

能包括过去帮助睡眠的放松歌曲”符合语境，故选G。

第二部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）
