【答案】21.B22.A23.C

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了一个面向青少年的在线中文夏令营，涵盖其适合年龄、课程安排、

费用、申请要求及截止日期等信息。

【21题详解】

细节理解题。根据CampContent部分“Project-basedtaskssuchasmakingaChineseculturalmagazine.(以项目

为基础的任务，如制作中文文化杂志)”可知，夏令营提供中文文化杂志创作活动。故选B项。

【22题详解】

细节理解题。根据CostDetails部分“ThecostfortheNon-NativeChineseCampis600,andwithadditional400

feeforChineseCamp.(非母语中文夏令营的费用是600美元，中文夏令营(中级到高级水平)额外收取400美

元费用)”以及“Bytheway,a10%earlybirddiscountisoffered.(顺便说一下，有10%的早鸟折扣)”可知，非

母语营早鸟价为600美元，墨西哥孩子属于非母语群体，因此费用为600×0.9=540美元。故选A项。

【23题详解】

推理判断题。根据ApplicationRequirements部分“CompleteanonlineChineseproficiency(水平)test

independently(forplacementtest)(独立完成在线中文水平测试(用于分班测试))”可知，需要独立完成测试，

找专家帮忙会导致申请不成功。故选C项。

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了简·古道尔与黑猩猩的渊源、发现，以及她为保护黑猩猩和

自然所做的努力。

【24题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段“Heusedagrasssticktofishouttermitesforfood,evenpullingoffleavestoimprove

thetool.Beforethis,peoplehadbelievedonlyhumanscouldmakeandusetools—manythoughtthisabilitywas

whatmadehumansunique.Goodall’sfindingsshooktheworldofscience.(他用一根草茎钓白蚁当食物，甚至

还摘下叶子来改进工具。在此之前，人们一直认为只有人类才能制造和使用工具——许多人认为这种能力

是人类独特之处。古道尔的发现震惊了科学界)”可知，DavidGreybeard使用工具获取食物这一行为让古道

尔感到惊讶。故选C项。

【25题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段“There,shenamedchimpslikeGoliathandFloinsteadofnumbers,thecommon

practice,butannoyedsomescientists.(在那里，她给黑猩猩取名如Goliath和Flo，而不是用数字(这是常见的

做法)，但惹恼了一些科学家)”可推断，一些科学家更喜欢用数字进行研究。故选C项。

【26题详解】

细节理解题。根据第四段“Laterinlife,Goodallwasheartbrokentofindchimpnumbersdroppingsharplydueto

bush-meattradeandhabitatloss.Fromthenon,shegaveupherfieldworkinfavourofspeakingout.(晚年，古道尔

痛心地发现，由于丛林肉贸易和栖息地丧失，黑猩猩的数量急剧下降。从那时起，她放弃了实地研究，转

而公开呼吁)”可知，古道尔停止直接研究黑猩猩是因为她渴望呼吁保护自然。故选D项。

【27题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段“Beforethis,peoplehadbelievedonlyhumanscouldmakeandusetools—many

thoughtthisabilitywaswhatmadehumansunique.Goodall’sfindingsshooktheworldofscience.(在此之前，人

们一直认为只有人类才能制造和使用工具——许多人认为这种能力是人类独特之处。古道尔的发现震惊了

科学界)”以及后文她为保护黑猩猩和自然所做的努力可知，古道尔具有开拓精神；同时，她多年坚持研究

黑猩猩，很有耐心。所以用“Patientandpioneering(耐心且有开拓精神的)”来形容她最合适。故选A项。

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了世界多种鸟类用相似的“哀鸣”警报声警示巢寄生动物，以及该

发现对语言起源研究的启示。

【28题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段“Morethan20species(物种)ofbirdaroundtheworlduseasimilar“whining”alarm

calltowarnthatbirdslikecuckoos,orbroodparasites(寄生动物)thatlaytheireggsinthenestsofotherbirds,are

around.(世界上有超过20种鸟类使用相似的“哀鸣”警报声，来警示像杜鹃这样在其他鸟类巢中产卵的巢

寄生动物就在附近)”可知，“哀鸣”声是用来警示巢寄生动物的。故选D项。

【29题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段“whenthehostshearthewhiningcall,theyattempttoscarethemawaywithaggressive

(攻击性的)physicalmobbing.“It’squitepossiblethatthemobbingcallaimstodrawinotherbirdstoparticipatein

themobbing,”saysRoseThorogoodattheUniversityofHelsinkiinFinland.(当宿主听到哀鸣声时，它们会试图

用攻击性的群体围攻来吓跑它们。芬兰赫尔辛基大学的罗斯·索罗古德说：“群体围攻的叫声很可能是为

了吸引其他鸟类参与围攻”)”可推断，群体围攻行为是为了聚集鸟类来驱赶威胁。故选B项。

【30题详解】

细节理解题。根据第四段“Feeneysaysthissuggeststhereisaninbornparttothealarmcallsthatmanybird

speciesrespondto,butbirdsinareaswherebroodparasitesarecommonhavechangedthecallandresponsetopass

onknowledgeofthelocalrisk.(费尼说，这表明许多鸟类对警报声的反应有一部分是天生的，但在巢寄生动

物常见的地区的鸟类已经改变了叫声和反应，以传递当地风险的知识)”可知，外国叫声实验表明这种反应

是天生的，但会根据当地情况进行调整。故选C项。

【31题详解】

主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Thebirdsadaptingtheseinborncallstoanotherpurposecouldbethefirststepping

stonetowardslanguage(鸟类将这些天生的叫声适应于其他目的可能是语言发展的第一步)”以及全文内容可

知，文章主要围绕鸟类共享的警报声展开，并探讨了其对语言起源研究的启示，所以A项“鸟类共享的警

报声”最能概括文章主旨。故选A项。

探讨了相关情况及局限。

【32题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段“Newresearchshowsanimportantfindingtoaddtotheknownbenefitsofregular

exercise:middle-agedwomenwithgoodphysicalfitnessarenearly90%lesslikelytodevelopdementia(失智症)

inoldage.(新研究显示了一项重要发现，为定期锻炼已知的好处增添了新内容：中年时期体能良好的女性老

theyweretiredouttomeasuretheirpeak(最大值的)cardiovascularability.(在这项研究中，191名平均年龄为

50岁的女性进行了自行车运动测试，直到她们筋疲力尽，以测量她们的心血管峰值能力)”可知，研究人员

让女性做自行车运动是为了测量她们的心血管健康状况。故选C项。

【34题详解】

推理判断题。根据第五段“Thesewomenwerethentestedfordementiasixtimesoverthefollowingfortyyears.

(在接下来的四十年里，这些女性接受了六次失智症测试)”可推知，霍德博士的研究收集数据是一个漫长的

过程。故选C项。

【35题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第一段“Newresearchshowsanimportantfindingtoaddtotheknownbenefitsofregular
