B项。

3.推理判断题。通读全文并结合文章标题TravelinEurope和各段小标题可知，本文主要

通过对比的方式，介绍了欧洲三个经典热门旅游地出现的问题，进而重点介绍了欧洲旅游的

另外几个好去处，由此可推知，文章的目的是向人们推荐些更好的旅游地点，故选A项。

B

答案：4-7BACDo根据文章第一段中的Theprizecommitteecited*heruniquepoeticvoice

的诗关注的主要是日常生活。故选A项。

6.推理判断题。根据文章第三段内容可知，格勒克曾当选美国桂冠诗人，并且曾获普利策

奖、美国国家图书奖和美国国家人文奖章。由此可知，本段主要是为了介绍格勒克的卓越成

就。故选C项。

7.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的Thepublicity-shyGliickdidnotimmediately

issueanycommentaboutthelatesthonorforherbodyofwork以及sheacknowledged

thatprizescanmake"existenceintheworldeasier"butdidnotamounttothe

immortalityofatrueartist可知，格勒克并未对此次获奖立刻发表评价，她认为这些

奖项可以使物质生活舒适安逸，但无法与艺术家的不朽用提并论。由此可推知，格勒克并没

有认为获得诺贝尔文学奖很重要。故选D项。

C

答案：8-11AABC

解析：英国学生在9月开始的新学年将按年级和班级分成多个“气泡”，每个“气泡”的课

程和活动时间各不相同，从而避免感染新冠病毒。但相关人上表示，这种“气泡”隔离措施实

施难度极大。

8.细节理解题。根据第三段...so-calledbubbles,basedonavoidingcontactbetween

individualclassesoryeargroups...Thiswillmeanseparatestartandfinishtimes,

andalsodifferenttimesforlunchandplaytime.可知，所谓的'"工泡"意味着不同班

级、不同年级的课程和活动开始及结束时间不同，午餐和娱乐时间也不同，由此可知将学生分

成“气泡”是为了给学校活动设置不同的时间，故选A项。

9.细节理解题。根据第四段中的iftherearetwoconfirmedcasesin14cays,

potentiallythewholeschoolcouldbeshutdown可知，当14天内证实有两例感染病例

时，整所学校可能会再次关闭，故选A项。

afullschool,includingwhole-yeargroupscomprisinghundredsofpupils,is

incredible.”可知，这些措施实施起来极具挑战性，并且要把许多不同“气泡”的孩子们分

开,包括整个年级的数百名学生,其组织工作的难度令人难以想象。由此可推知，巴顿对加文

提出的措施持怀疑态度，故选B项。tolerant意为,'宽容的"；hopeful意为“抱有希望

的"；ambiguous意为“模棱两可的”。

11.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的thenumberofCOVID-19caseshasrisenin36local

authoritiesacrossEngland以及最后一句InKnowsley...therateofinfectionrose

from6peopleoutofevery100,000to20.可推知，英国感染新型冠状病毒肺炎的人数

正在增加,故选C项。

D

答案：12-15CDBA

知，因海平面上升而导致的陆地减少可能会使地区的社会和政治更不稳定，从而可能再次

引发武装冲突，增加恐怖主义的可能性。故选D项。

14.推理判断题。本文是一篇说明文，说明文的目的一般是为说明一件事情或一个事物，本

文标题是“新研究表明，到2050年，海平面上升会淹没更多城市”，文章主要介绍了海平

面上升带来的危害，由此可推测，本文的目的是告知读者新研究的内容，故
