plausiblebecausepreviousstudieshaveshownthatironmineralsreactintheatmosphere,”saidNatalieMahowald,anatmosphericscientistwhostudiesdustatCornellUniversity.“TheirconclusiongoesalongwithwhatIthoughtwashappening,”shesaid.(“新的结果是plausible，因为之前的研究表明，铁矿物在大气中会发生反应，”康奈尔大学(CornellUniversity)研究尘埃的大气科学家娜塔莉·马霍瓦尔德(NatalieMahowald)说。“他们的结论与我当时的想法一致，”她说。)”可知，NatalieMahowald认为新的研究结果是可靠的。A.Reliable可靠的；B.Uncertain不确定的；C.Abstract抽象的；D.Contradictory矛盾的。故选A。DJadeBenjamin-Chung,anassistantprofessorattheStanfordSchoolofMedicine,workedwithhercoworkerstoanalyzetheimpactofhygiene(卫生)interventionsonhealthoutcomesinmiddle—andlow-incomeBangladeshihouseholds.Theyfoundmanycommonstrategiesusedtoprotectchildrenfromdiseaseweren’taseffectiveasexpected.Feelingcurious,Benjamin-Chungandhercoworkersidentifiedapotentialreason.Around70%ofruralhomesinBangladeshhavesoil-packedfloors.Asyoungkidseatandplayonthefloor,theyoftenabsorbtinysoil-basedparasites(寄生虫)thatspreaddisease.Sotheythoughtabouttheconcretefloors,whichcouldcreateaspaceeasiertocleanandreducepathogen(病原体)spread.Benjamin-ChungmentionedtheirideatoSarahBillington,anexpertonconcreteandbuildingmaterialsfromtheStanfordDoerrSchoolofSustainability.WhenBillingtonheardtheteam’sideaofbroadlyreplacingsoil-packedfloorswithconcrete,sheworriedtheapproachcouldhaveunintendedconsequencesfortheclimateduetoheavycarbonemissions(排放)fromconcreteproduction.SoBillingtoninvitedotherStanfordexpertsintothefoldtounderstandwhyconcretewaseffectiveinreducingpathogenspreadanddesignlow-emissionconcretealternativesthatkeptthosehelpfulproperties.Theywantedtodevelopamixusingmaterialsthat’reeasilyfoundincountrieslikeBangladesh.Finally,onepossiblematerialwasrecycledflyash,abyproductofburningcoal.Theconcretemixwasaffordable,durableandproducedfeweremissions.Thentheydidanexperimentwheretheyhardenedconcretetesttiles(砖)madewithalternative“green”concreteandthensomepathogenswereputintothetilestomeasurehowwelltheysurvivedonthesurface.Theteam’sfindingssuggestthepathogenshavesimilarratesofsurvivalontraditionalconcretemixtilesand“green”alternativeflyashtiles.“Thisprojectcouldbeamodelforhowtoimprovepublichealthwithsustainabilitybakedinatthebeginning,”saidBenjamin-Chung.12.WhatdidBenjamin-Chungandhercoworkersfocusoninitially?A.Thebadinfluencesofconcrete.

plantedseedsandmonitormoisturelevelsastheygrow.(只需将准备好的土壤分开，按照建议的深度和间距放置种子。给新种下的种子浇水，并在它们生长过程中监测湿度水平)”具体介绍播种的方法，因此B项“Onceyourqualitymixisready,plantyourseeds.(一旦你的优质混合物准备好了，就开始播种)”符合语境，提到播种的前提，引出后文的方法。故选B。第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。ArtistMichaelChandlergaveaMiamistoreadistinctlookwithahand-paintedceramictilemural(瓷砖壁画)coveringthestore’sfrontwall.Chandlerworkedonthis____21____inhisstudio,mappingeachtilesothattheycouldbefittogether____22____inMiami.Oncethemuraltheme—TreeofLife—was____23____,Chandlerbeganthecreativeprocessthatallowedhimto____24____hisartisticability.“Ibeganwiththethicktreetrunkthatoriginatedfromthe____25____,andthen,witheachtile,slowlythinnedoutintothefinestbranchesatthetipsofthemural,”Chandlersaid.“AsIpaintedthetree,arangeofbirdsandflowers____26____insidemybrain.Itwasawonderfuland____27____processtoseewhatwouldappeareachday.”Giventhatthefinalmuralwouldonly____28____asawholeonceinMiami,Chandlerhadthedifficultjobof____29____thatthecompositionwouldremainbalanced.Nowthe1,800tilesareinstalled(安装),it’sclearthatChandler’s____30____choiceshavefittogetherbeautifully.“Ihopepeoplewhoareworkingwithspacesanddesignhavealittlemore____31____todothingsonthislevelofartistry,”heshared.“Theworlddoesn’t____32____anothergraybuilding.”____33____toseehisworkinsuchapublicsettingwhereitcan____34____someone’sday,Chandlerisexcitedaboutthedirectionhisworkistakingandhopesto____35____pushingthecreativepossibilitiesofhisworkwithceramics.21.A.research
