刚买的。

考查时态。根据"Howlong”可知，此处应该用现在完成时表示“你买了帽子多久了”，现在完成时的结构为

“have/has+动词的过去分词”，故排除C项和D项；A项为现在完成时，但buy是短暂性动词，不能与how

long连用，故排除A项；B项是现在完成时，have是延续性动词，与howlong连用。故选B。

带她的午餐至U食堂去o根据"I'vebeenwaitingforyouattheschooldininghallfor20minutes——whereareyou?

They511stopofferingfoodsoonand1wanttomakesurewehavelunch!”可知，短信内容的意思是“我在学校食

堂等了你20分钟了，你在哪儿？他们很快就不提供食物了，我想确保我们能吃到午餐！"，所以茱莉亚想

让基拉赶紧去食堂吃午饭。故选C。

9.-Meg,Ihearyouwillmovehousenextweek.Iwillcometohelp.

-Justbethereonmovingday..

A.PracticemakesperfectB.Everydoghasitsday

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。20世纪30年代美国大平原遭遇严重干旱，因过度耕作和砍伐树木导致土壤

流失，造成沙尘暴，这是美国史上最严重的自然灾害。

[27题详解】

推理判断题。文章主要讲述了美国大平原地区的人们因过度耕作和砍伐导致土壤流失，进而形成沙尘暴的

环境问题。因此，这篇文章很可能来自一份环境报告，而非新闻报道、旅游指南或生物学杂志。故选C。

【28题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段最后的“andcuttingdownmostofthetrees”可知,大平原上的大部分树木被砍伐

（c）；根据第二段第二句中的"Thiswasthebeginningofaterribledrought”以及第三句中的"Thebeautiful

wheatfieldsdriedup”可知，发生了可怕的干旱，而且田地干涸了（b）；根据第二段第三句的后半句"andthe

cropsdied”以及第四句"Thentherewerenoplantstokeepthesoilinplace.”可知，接着庄稼死亡，没有植物可

以固定土壤（a）；根据第三段中的"Thenthewindstartedtoblow."以及"thewindgatheredupthesoilintohuge

blackclouds”可知，风吹起土壤，聚集成巨大的黑云（d）o因此，尘暴形成的顺序是c-b-a-d。故选C。

[29题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段中的"causingmanypeopletogetsick,,tcandfarmanimalsdiedwithoutfbod”以及"The

GreatPlainsbecameknownastheDustBowl.“可知，在文章中提到，沙尘暴使得人们生病（A项），动物因

为没有食物而死亡（C项），大平原变成了尘暴区（D项），但并未提到田地受到污染。故选B。

【30题详解】

观点态度题。文章中提到"ThiswastheworstnaturaldisasterevertohittheUnitedStates”,这句话是对尘暴事

件的评价和看法，因此A选项“这是最严重的自然灾害”是文章中的一个观点。B、C、D三个选项都是对

尘暴现象的描述，而非观点。故选A。

D
