答案解析：

A【语篇解读】作者向我们介绍了世界上一些非常有趣的节日。

21【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段的，Althoughthebirthday...since1949."可知这个节日已

经有60多年历史了。

【答案】D

22【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段的ThaiElephantDayhasbeencelebratedonMarch13th

ofeveryyearsince1998.”可知这是泰国的大象日，又根据"theyarehighlyrespectedand

treasured”可推断这个节日是为了表示对大象的敬重。

【答案】B

23【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段的‘don'tworryaboutmakingittoworkthenextday—it's

anationalholiday”可知第二天是全国性的假日,不用上班。

【答案】C

B篇【答案】24.B25.A26.D27.D

【解析】

【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章论述了中国文化及中国美学对国际时尚界的影响。

【24题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段中Theexhibitionhadrecordattendance,showingthatthereishuge

interestinChineseinfluences.可知，此次展览吸引的参观者人数创下了记录，显示出人们对中

国影响的浓厚兴趣。故选B。

[25题详解】

细节理解题。根据第四段中Hill所说的话“Chinesemodelsarethefacesofbeautyandfashion

campaignsthatselldreamstowomenallovertheworld,whichmeansChinesewomenarenotjust

consumersoffashion一theyarecentraltoitsmovement.”（中国模特是向世界各地的女性推销

梦想的美丽和时尚运动的面孔,这意味着中国女性不仅仅是时尚的消费者——她们是这场运

动的核心。）可知，Hill说中国女性正在引领新时尚，故选A。

[26题详解】

词义猜测题。根据下文andbeatingthemhandsdownindesignandsales说在设计和销售上击

败他们，由此推断出上文VeraWang,AlexanderWang,JasonWuaretakingonGalliano,

Albaz,MareJacobs的意思是VeraWang>AlexanderWang和JasonWu正在与Galliano>Albaz

和MareJacobs竞争。takingon意思是"竞争"，故选D。

[27题详解】

主旨大意题。本文通过AmandaHill的评论，论述了中国文化、中国艺术、中国设计师等等

在国际时尚中发挥着非常重要的作用。因此，“中国文化刺激着国际时尚的发展和潮流''最能

概括文章大意。故选D。

C篇【答案】28.A29.C30.D31.A

【解析】

试题分析:文章主要讲的是互联网给人类的记忆带来的影响。互联网使用者越来越依赖互联

网储存信息人们这样做是否会丧失记忆事物的能力呢?专家怀疑互联网可能正在改变人们的

记忆内容和记忆的方式。

28.A写作意图题。根据第一段"'ExpertsarewonderingiftheIntemmetischangingwhatwe

rememberandhow，可知，作者使用两个问句是为了引出要讨论的话题。

29.C细节理解题。根据第二段“Peopleinthefirstgroupknewtheycouldfindtheinformation

again,sotheydidnottrytorememberit.“可知答案。

30.D细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Rather,theyrememberhowtofindit.Thisiscalled

"transactivememory（交互记忆）"“可知，在交互记忆里，人们记得怎样找到信息。

31.A细节理解题。根据最后一段"butthereisnodoubtthatthewayweusememoryis

changing”可知，互联网对人们的记忆产生的影响是它改变了我们使用记忆力的方式。

【考点定位】心理类短文阅读

【名师点睛】一般来说，举例的目的是为了引出即将讨论的话题，可以从例子后面找到总结

'性的话语。“ExpertsarewonderingiftheInternetischangingwhatwerememberandhow.“就是

举例的意图。后三道题都属于细节理解题，可以直接从文章找到提示性的语句最后一道题

有一定的难度，需要进行一些推理和排除。

D篇【答案】32.D33.A34.B35.A

【语篇解读1本文是一篇议论文。主要讨论成年人对所处的周围世界采取漠视和麻木的态度，

作者分别列举了三个阻碍人们探究世界的因素,并举例来佐证论点。最后呼吁人们驻足欣赏、

感受世界的新奇。

32.D细节理解题。根据第二段第二、三句可知，孩童的一天充满了魅力和新奇。好奇赋予

我们与自然有关的意识，但与孩童相比,成年人对新的刺激、新的观点变得漠视和麻木。

33.A推理判断题。根据第三段第一句可知,要唤醒我们探究自然的意识，首先要仔细观察和

感受,而不是要预测（下结论）。

34.B细节理解题。根据第五段可知,“时间”和"目的地”的压力也是阻碍人们探究的因素。远

足者急匆匆趁天黑以前赶往目标营地，很少停下来，驻足观察周围的一切。

35.A推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，自然界的美景只为那些驻足观察和等待的人绽放。

下次散步时，无论在哪里，都要尽享所有景色、声音和感受。让思绪稍做停留，你会开启生活的

新维度。由此推知,作者旨在告诉我们要去感受世界的神奇。

七选五【答案】36.C37.B38.A39.G40.E【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文

中讲述了披头士乐队的成功引领了摇滚乐等一系列新的潮流趋势。

【36题详解】

第一段讲述摇滚音乐，根据空后的atthattime可知，前句提到了时间，而且与rockmusic有

关，选项中只有C项讲的是摇滚音乐，并且讲述了其发展的时间，故选C。

【37题详解】

空前后都是讲述披头士的出名程度，根据空前extremelypopularinEngland以及后文的they

becamethehottestthing可知，此处描述了他们的影响，选项B（甚至他们的发型在那时也成

为了一种潮流）符合文意，且关键词even是一个提示，故选B。

【38题详解】

根据空后TheywerenotsurehowtheAmericanswouldreacttothenewtypeofmusic.（他们不

确定美国人怎样反应），可知他们首次来美国演出，所以A项（决定首次到美国开巡回演出）

符合文意，故选A。

【39题详解】

根据空后Theconcertwasbroadcastliveandattractedthelargestonenightaudienceinthe

historyoftelevisionuptothattime.可知，前句中应该出现concert,选项G中的关键词theirfirst

concert前后呼应。故选G。

[40题详解】

根据空前（由于披头士，市场上出现了很多新面孔），E项（很多摇滚乐队都是模仿披头士）,

符合逻辑，披头士乐队为摇滚乐开拓了市场。故选E。
