答案解析部分【答案】1．B2．D3．B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了针对13至17岁学生的在线创意写作课程，包括课程的目标、教学方式、时间安排、费用、教学大纲以及具体课程内容等信息。【点评】考查阅读理解。本文涉及细节题和推断题两种常考题型，细节题要注意通过关键词从文中寻找答案；推断题需要对已有信息进行加工处理，推断出需要的信息。1．推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的"Freeyourcreativityasawriter,whilelearningthetricksofthetrade.Youhavethefreedomtowritewhatyouwant,butyoualsoneedtogainthedisciplineofwriting.Therearenogrades,noexams,andnowronganswers—justcreativewriting作为一个作家，释放你的创造力，同时学习这个行业的技巧。你可以自由地写你想写的东西，但你也需要获得写作的规则。没有分数，没有考试，没有错误的答案——只有创造性的写作"可知，青少年创意写作项目的目的是引导学生创造性地写作。故选B。2．细节理解题。根据CourseComponents部分中Week4的内容"(Fiction)learningthetypesandformsoffiction,wheretofindfictionideas,andthebasicsofcreatingastory—characters,plots,andpointsofview学习小说的类型和形式，在哪里找到小说的想法，以及创作故事的基础——人物、情节和观点"可知，在第四周可以学习如何写小说，而幻想小说是小说的一种，因此可以在第四周学习如何写幻想小说。故选D。3．推理判断题。根据第一段中的"Eachclassistaughtbyateacherexperiencedinhelpingyoungwritersdiscoveranddeveloptheiruniquevoices.每一堂课都由一位在帮助年轻作家发现和发展自己独特声音方面经验丰富的老师教授"以及TheSyllabus部分中"Thesyllabusvariesfromteachertoteacher,termtoterm.教学大纲因老师而异，因学期而异"以及后文表格中对每周课程内容的介绍可知，文章介绍了一个青少年创意写作的课程计划。故文章可能选自一个课程计划。故选B。【答案】4．A5．D6．A7．C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了CatherineBorowski和她的搭档LeeBaker共同创建了GraphicRewilding项目，将大自然色彩和多样性融入到破败的空间中，让人们在日常生活中发现世界的美好。【点评】考查阅读理解。本文涉及细节题和推断题两种常考题型，细节题要注意通过关键词从文中寻找答案；推断题需要对已有信息进行加工处理，推断出需要的信息。4．细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的"CatherineBorowskiandherpartnerLeeBakerarethefoundersofGraphicRewilding,aprojecttoplacehugenature-inspiredartworksintotheurbanlandscape.CatherineBorowski和她的搭档LeeBaker是GraphicRewilding项目的创始人，该项目旨在将巨大的以自然为灵感的艺术品融入城市景观"以及"Wejustwanttoaddthecolouranddiversityofnatureintorun-downspaces,urgingpeopletonoticeandfindjoyintheworldaroundthem,我们只是想把自然的色彩和多样性添加到破败的空间中，促使人们注意到并找到周围世界的乐趣"可知，GraphicRewilding项目的目的是通过艺术为城市注入活力。故选A。5．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的"Havingsufferedabreakdown10yearsago,Bakerfoundthatdrawingflowerswastheonlywaytolifthisspirit.10年前，Baker精神崩溃，他发现画花是唯一能提振他精神的方法"可知，一次画花的安慰经历让Baker爱上了亲生物设计。故选D。6．推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的"Welovegalleries,butwefocusonpublicart.Thisway,ourworkisoutthereforeveryonetoenjoy,我们喜欢画廊，但我们专注于公共艺术。这样，我们的作品就可以让每个人欣赏"可知，GraphicRewilding与画廊展览的区别在于它面向大众，每个人都可以欣赏。故选A。7．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的"Overall,theresponsehasbeenhugelypositive.总的来说，反响非常积极"以及"Thereweresomanysmilingfaces,有很多笑脸"可知，大多数人对这对搭档的艺术作品都很欣赏。故选C。【答案】8．C9．A10．B11．D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了英国诺丁汉特伦特大学的研究人员开发的一种新型织物，这种织物可以利用阳光发电，为小型电子设备充电。【点评】考查阅读理解。本文涉及细节题、推理判断题和词义猜测题三种常考题型，细节题要注意通过关键词从文中寻找答案；推断题需要考生根据关键词，结合语境推断出所需要的信息；词义猜测题需要对已有信息进行加工处理，利用上下文、表示转折、并列或因果的词、定语从句等信息推断出词的意思。8．细节理解题。根据文章第二段"Theprototype(原型)includes1,200tinysolarpanels,eachmeasuringjust5by1.5millimeters.Itcangenerate400milliwattsofelectricalenergy,enoughtochargeelectronicdevices.原型机包括1200块微型太阳能电池板，每块只有5乘1.5毫米。它可以产生400毫瓦的电能，足以给电子设备充电"可知，这种新型织物的特殊之处在于它能从阳光中产生电力，故选C。9．词义猜测题。根据画线词上文"Thematerialwhichwehavedevelopedappearsandbehavesthesameasanyordinaryfabric,asitcanbewashedinamachine.我们开发出的材料看起来和表现都与普通织物一样，因为它可以用洗衣机洗"开发出的材料看起来和表现都与普通织物一样，因此穿着者甚至不能注意到这种织物和普通衣服成分之间的差异之处。故划线词意为"差异"，与A选项"Distinction.差别"为同义词，故选A。10．推理判断题。根据文章第四段中Theodore的话"Electronicfabricsreallyhavethepotentialtochangepeople'srelationshipwithtechnology,asthisprototypeshowshowwecouldlivewithoutchargingmanydevicesonthewall,电子织物真的有可能改变人们与技术的关系，因为这个原型展示了我们如何在不依赖墙上的许多充电设备的情况下生活"可知，这种创新通过减少对固定充电器的需求来影响我们与技术的关系，故选B。11．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段"Aspowerfulasthatmayonedaybeforus,it'sencouragingtoknowevenchangeslikethecompositionofourclothingcanhelppromotethenecessaryrenewableenergyshiftforourspecies.尽管有一天这对我们来说可能会很强大，但令人鼓舞的是，即使是像我们的衣服成分这样的变化，也可以帮助促进我们物种必要的可再生能源转变"可推知，微小的改变可以带来可再生能源的未来，故选D。【答案】12．B13．C14．C15．A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类记忆的类型及人类为什么会忘记一些事情。【点评】考查阅读理解。细节题、推断题、和主旨题都是常考题型。细节题需要根据关键词从文中找出答案；推断题需要考生根据关键词，结合语境推断出所需要的信息；主旨题则需要考生掌握全文结构和行文脉络，重点关注每段的中心句或首句，利用关键词获取主旨大意。12．推理判断题。根据第一段"Haveyoueverwalkedintoaroomandforgottenwhyyouwentthere,orbeenabouttospeakbutsuddenlyrealizedyouhadnoideawhatyouweregoingtosay?Thehumanbrainnormallybalancescountlessinputs,thoughtsandactions,butsometimes,itseemstoshort-circuit.你有没有走进一个房间却忘了为什么要去那里，或者正要说话却突然意识到自己不知道该说什么？人类的大脑通常能平衡无数的输入、想法和行动，但有时，它似乎会"短路""可推知，人类的大脑有时会经历偶尔的记忆失误。故选B。13．细节理解题。根据第四段"‘Workingmemoryislikethesketchpad(速写本)ofconsciousthought,'saidEarlK.Miller.aprofessorofneuroscienceatMIT‘Everypieceofnewinformation,innerdialogueandsensoryinputisroutedthroughworkingmemoryandcertaincharacteristicsofworkingmemoryexplainwhyweforgetthosethoughts.'麻省理工学院神经科学教授厄尔•K•米勒说：‘工作记忆就像意识思想的速写本。每一条新的信息、内心对话和感官输入都是通过工作记忆进行传递的，工作记忆的某些特性解释了为什么我们会忘记那些想法'"可知，每一条新的信息、内心对话和感官输入都是通过工作记忆进行传递的，即工作记忆是处理信息的短期空间。故选C。14．细节理解题。根据最后一段"Jaeggimentionsifyouwalkintoaroomandforgetwhyyouwentinthere,gobackintotheroomyouwerebefore.Thecontextcluesmightgivethebraintheextraboostitneedstoreachbackafewsecondsinworkingmemoryandbringbackthethoughtthat'salreadygone.Jaeggi提到，如果你走进一个房间却忘了为什么要去那里，就回到你之前的房间。上下文线索可能会给大脑额外的动力，让它在工作记忆中回溯几秒钟，找回已经消失的想法"可知，Jaeggi对于恢复失去的想法的建议是回到之前的语境中。故选C。15．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段"Haveyoueverwalkedintoaroomandforgottenwhyyouwentthere,orbeenabouttospeakbutsuddenlyrealizedyouhadnoideawhatyouweregoingtosay?Thehumanbrainnormallybalancescountlessinputs,thoughtsandactions,butsometimes,itseemstoshort-circuit(短路).Sowhatreallyhappens?你有没有走进一个房间却忘了为什么要去那里，或者正要说话却突然意识到自己不知道该说什么？人类的大脑通常能平衡无数的输入、想法和行动，但有时，它似乎会"短路"。那么，到底发生了什么？"及全文内容可知，本文主要探讨了人类大脑记忆偶尔失误的现象，解释了记忆的不同成分及其与认知过程的关系，特别是工作记忆的特点和导致忘记的原因，并给出了一些建议。由此可知，A选项"TheSecretofMemoryLoss(记忆丧失的秘密)"最符合文章主旨。故选A。【答案】16．B；17．A；18．D；19．E；20．C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者40岁时爱上骑自行车，并决定从新加坡独自骑行到印度尼西亚，探访祖父的出生地巴甘西亚皮阿比，整个骑行旅程超过1600公里，途中了解了当地华人社区的历史，虽然遇到了一些困难，但也得到了当地人的帮助，最终顺利完成骑行之旅的故事。A.我知道我必须让它成真。

B.49岁时，我萌生了对冒险的渴望。

C.我的骑行之旅并非一帆风顺。

D.或者只是那天我特别累。

然而，这种可能性让我感到兴奋和满足。

F.我留意了几家可能的旅社和其他住宿场所。

G.我有点后悔没有更深入地探究一下家族的详细历史。

【点评】七选五的答案选项较少，并且给出的都是句子，因此，我们可以通过句子的完整性或者句子后面的标点符合来判断该句在文章中的位置。另外，通过阅读选项，有可能找出其他选项表达完全同意思的句子，这样的话就可以直接将该选项排除。16．根据上文"At40,Ifellinlovewithcyclingandjoinedalocalcyclingclub.Ibefriendedcyclingloversandweoftenwentcyclingtogether.40岁时，我爱上了骑自行车，并加入了当地的一个自行车俱乐部。我和自行车爱好者成了朋友，我们经常一起去骑自行车"可知，作者40岁时爱上了骑自行车，并加入了当地的自行车俱乐部，与骑行爱好者交朋友并经常一起骑行。B选项"Atage49,Idevelopedathirstforadventure.49岁时，我渴望冒险"承接上文，说明作者在49岁时有了新的追求——冒险，因此决定独自骑行从新加坡到印度尼西亚。这符合逻辑顺序和语境，起到了承上启下的作用。故选B。17．根据上文"Growingup,I'dhearallkindsofstoriesabouthischildhoodbeforehemovedtoSingapore.Iwasanxioustovisithisbirthplacebu
