projectionsthatilluminatethecity*siconicbuildingsandlandmarks.（悉尼灯光音乐节以其壮观的灯光展示和投

影而闻名，照亮了城市的标志性建筑和地标）”可知，其特别之处在于灯光展示，故选C。

22.细节理解题。根据Ap;AboutSydney部分中“Thisfestivalbringsarttothestreets,withpublicartworks,

exhibitions,andeventsthroughoutthecity.Itencouragespeopletoengagewithartintheireveryday

【答案】24.B25.C26.A27.C

【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者童年时被灌输食物观念的不良影响，心理学家Markey建

议采用“责任划分”原则，作者尝试后发现策略可行。

24.推理判断题。根据第一段中“WhenIwasachildIwasoftentoldwhatnottoeat.'Youdon'twanttogetfaf

wasonconstantrepeatthroughoutmychildhood.Itreallymessedupmyrelationshipwithfood——somethingthat

tookmeyearstoovercome.（当我还是个孩子的时候，我经常被告知什么不能吃。“你不想变胖”在我的童年里

不断重复。这真的破坏了我与食物的关系——这是我花了多年时间才克服的问题）”可知，作者童年时被灌

输的饮食观念对她产生了不良影响，由此可推断出她对自己小时候被喂养的方式持批评态度。故选B项。

25.推理判断题。根据第二段中“'Therearesomanythingsinparentingthataregoodtotalkthrough,butI'mnot

convincedthatfoodisoneofthem/shesays.4Itjustcreatessomeworriesandinsecuritiesinkidsthataren't

necessarilyhealthy」（她说：“在养育孩子的过程中，有很多事情值得讨论，但我不认为食物是其中之一。这只

会给孩子们带来一些不一定健康的担忧和不安全感。"'可知，Markey不赞成和孩子谈论食物相关内容。C

选项“向孩子解释吃零食的风险”属于和孩子谈论食物相关，是Markey会不赞成的。故选C项。

26.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Instead,sherecommendsapplyingawell-knownconceptamongnutritionexperts

calledthe"DivisionofResponsibility,?whereparentsprovideavarietyofmostlyhealthyfoodstotheirkidsatfixed

times,andthekidsthemselvesdecidewhatandhowmuchtheywanttoconsume（相反，她建议应用营养专家中一

个著名的概念，即“责任划分”，父母在固定的时间为孩子提供各种主要是健康的食物，而孩子自己决定想吃

什么和吃多少）”可知，根据“责任划分”原则，孩子应该自己做饮食决定。故选A项。

27.推理判断题。根据最后一段中"I'vebeentryingoutthesestrategiesandI'vefoundthatwhenI'mless

restrictive,theydomakebetterdecisions.（我一直在尝试这些策略，我发现当我不那么严格限制时，他们确实

会做出更好的决定）”可知，作者一直在尝试这些策略，且孩子们确实会做出更好的决定。由此推知，她会认

为所遵循的策略是可行的。故选C项。

【答案】28.A29.B30.B31.D

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是澳大利亚科学家利用海狮来帮助探索难以到达的海底世界。

28.主旨大意题。根据第一段"Australianscientistshavebeentryingtolearnabouthard-to-reachseafloor.But

studyingtheseafloorisdifficult.Underwaterrobotsareexpensive,oftenmoveslowly,andtheycan'tgo

everywhere.（澳大利亚科学家一直在努力了解难以到达的海底。但是研究海底是很困难的。水下机器人价格

昂贵，通常移动缓慢，而且它们不能去任何地方。）”可知，作者在第一段主要想强调探索海底是一项挑战。

故选Ao

29.细节理解题。根据第三段"Theymadesurethesealionsweretreatedwell.Be-forelong,thesealionswokeup

andheadedouttosea.（他们确保海狮受到善待。没过多久，海狮醒了，向大海游去。）”可知，在海狮身上安

装摄像机时，研究人员更关心的是海狮的安全。故选B。

30.主旨大意题。根据第五段"Theresearcherswereabletoidentifysixdifferenttypesofseafloorenvironments,

suchasareaswithlotsofmarineplants,orwithbaresand.Thevideosgavetheteamagoodideaofthekindsof

很多海洋植物的地区，或者有裸露的沙子的地区。这些视频让团队很好地了解了生活在每种环境中的植物

和动物的种类。）”可知，第五段主要讲的是令人兴奋的研究结果。故选B。

31.推理判断题。根据最后一段"They'regivingusawindowintotheirworldthatwehaven'thadbefdre.（他们为

我们打开了一扇通往他们世界的窗户，这是我们从未有过的。）”可知，从最后一段研究者的话中可以推断出

海狮正以一种新的方式帮助绘制海底地图。故选D。

【答案】32.C33.D34.A35.D

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕数学家提出的“37%规则”在决策过程中的应用、局限及益处。

32.词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Youpassthefirsthandfulandobservetheirpricesbeforeapproachingonewitha

seeminglygooddeal.Doyoustop,withoutknowinghowsweetthebargainscouldgetuptheroad?Ordoyou

continueexploringandriskregretforrejectingthebirdinhand?（你路过第一批商品，观察它们的价格，然后接

近一个看似很划算的商品。你会在不知道前面可能会有更划算的交易的情况下停下来吗？还是你会继续探

索，冒着因拒绝thebirdinhand而后悔的风险呢？）”可知,这里指的就是已经路过且看起来价格还可以的那

些加油站。由此可知，划线词组thebirdinhand指的是之前遇到的相对较便宜的加油站。故填C项。

33.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Spendthefirst37percentofyourdecision-makingprocessgatheringinformation

andcommittingtonothing.Afterthat,choosethenextoptionthatcomesalongthafsbetterthaneverythingyou've

seenbefore.（将决策过程的前37%用于收集信息，什么都不做。之后，选择下一个出现的选项，它比你以前

见过的一切都要好）”可知，如果总共有100个选项，37%就是37个，也就是先观察前37个选项不做选择，

接下来遇到比前面37个都好的那个选项就是要选的，那就是第38个。故选D项。

34.推理判断题。根据第四段“Whatifanabsolutelybrilliantcandidatejusthappenstobethefirstoneyoucome

across?Followingthisrulemightendupcomplainingandwondering,t4Whatif?”Itistruethatmattersoftheheart

aren'tlogical,andthisruleonlymaximizesprobabilities.Itdoesn'tguaranteesuccess.Soiflightningstrikesorthe

angelssingandyou'reabsolutelysureyou'vefoundtheperfectmatchforyou,don'tletinflexiblerulesstandinthe

way.（如果一个绝对聪明的候选人恰好是你遇到的第一个人怎么办？遵循这条规则可能最终会抱怨和想知道,

“如果呢？”诚然，心事不合逻辑，这条规则只会使概率最大化。它并不能保证成功。因此，如果雷击或天使

歌唱，并且你绝对确定自己已经找到了最适合你的人选，请不要让僵化的规则成为阻碍户可知，37%规则虽

然有用，但不是绝对的，所以读者在特殊情况下要根据实际情况灵活判断，不要盲目遵循规则。由此推知，

第四段的目的是提供一个提醒。故选A项。

35.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Spendingroughlythefirstthirdofyourdecision-makingprocessgathering

informationcanhelpyouresistfearofmissingout.Knowingthatyoushouldsecurethefirstcandidatewhobeats

theoptionsyoupreviouslyexploredcanhelpyougatherthecouragetomakedecisions.（在决策过程的前三分之

一左右时间收集信息可以帮助你抵制对错过的恐惧。知道你应该确保第一个击败你之前探索过的选项的候

选人可以帮助你鼓起勇气做出决定）”可知，按照37%规则，花决策过程的前一部分时间收集信息能帮助我们

抵抗错失良机的恐惧，知道何时根据规则做选择能帮助我们鼓起勇气做决策，总体上这些都有助于我们更

有效地做出决策。由此推知，37%规则提高了我们的决策效率。故选D项。
