答案解析部分【答案】1．D2．B3．B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文，知名作家LyndaLaPlante介绍了对自己影响深远的三本书——《呼啸山庄》《水孩子》和《仙后》，并讲述了这些书分别给她带来的独特感悟与启发。

【点评】考查阅读理解，包含细节理解题、推理判断题，是一篇介绍类阅读，注意先略读文章，掌握文章大意，再分析题干及选项，到文中找到相关内容并进行理解。1．细节理解题。根据WutheringHeights部分中的"Onenightasachild,IwalkedquietlyintothebathroomwhenIheardavoicecalling,‘Letmein;letmein!'alongwithaterribleknockonawindowcomingfrommygrandma'sroom.Quiteafraid,Icried,‘Helpme!Where'stheghost?'Grandmalookedupandsaid,‘Don'tbesilly;I'mlisteningtoastoryontheradiocalledWutheringHeights.'Ijoinedmygrandmaandrealizedthenhowyoucouldtakeastoryfromabookandchangeittoadifferentmedium(媒介)."还是个孩子的一天晚上，我悄悄地走进浴室，这时我听到一个声音喊道："让我进去;让我进去！"同时，从我奶奶的房间传来了可怕的敲门声。我非常害怕，叫道："救救我！鬼在哪儿？"奶奶抬起头说："别傻了；我在听收音机里的一个故事，叫《呼啸山庄》。"我和奶奶一起意识到，你可以把书中的故事转换成不同的媒介。可知，Lynda是通过听收音机而知道呼啸山庄的故事的。故选D。2．细节理解题。根据TheWater-Babies部分中的"IespeciallylovedallthequestionsTomasksonhisadventures,manyofwhichareaboutsocialunfairness.AllmylifeI'veaskedquestionstoo."我特别喜欢汤姆在他的冒险中提出的所有问题，其中许多是关于社会不公平的。我这辈子也问过很多问题。可知，TheWater-Babies使Lynda养成了问问题的习惯。故选B。3．推理判断题。根据TheFaerieQueene部分中的"Ilearneditoffbyheartandwassoproudofmyselfforkeepingsomethingthatdifficultinmind.ThenIlearnedthatIcouldlearnwordsjustaswellasanyone."我把它背下来了，我为自己能把这么难的东西记在心里而感到骄傲。然后我知道我可以学单词和任何人一样好。可推知，Lynda读了TheFaerieQueene后，她开始相信自己。故选B。【答案】4．C5．B6．D7．B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了8岁男孩Sam在父亲陪同及两位向导帮助下，成为攀登加州酋长岩最年轻的人，其家庭为此建立网站记录冒险经历并筹集资金拍激励家长的影片，但他们的成就因使用特定技术引发优胜美地攀岩界的争议，且攀登过程充满挑战。

【点评】考查阅读理解，本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。4．细节理解题。根据第一段"Thefatherofan8-year-oldboysayshissonisnowtheyoungestpersontoclimbCalifornia'sElCapitan.Afterfourdaysofguidedclimbing,JoeBakerandhissonSamreachedthetopofthecliff(悬崖)faceinsideYosemiteNationalParklastweek."一个8岁男孩的父亲说，他的儿子现在是攀登加州酋长岩最年轻的人。经过四天的向导攀爬，上周，JoeBaker和他的儿子Sam到达了优胜美地国家公园内悬崖的顶部。可知，Sam是登上酋长岩最年轻的攀岩者。故选C。5．细节理解题。根据第三段中的"ThefamilysetupawebsitetorecordSam'sadventuresandcollectmoneytomakefilmsthatinspireparentstoadventurewiththeirkids."这家人建立了一个网站来记录Sam的冒险经历，并筹集资金制作电影，以激励父母与孩子们一起冒险。可知，Baker一家建立网站是为了鼓励家庭去体验冒险。故选B。6．推理判断题。根据第四段中的"Buttheirachievementhasnotbeenwithoutcontroversy(争议):astheclimbingmadeheadlinesaroundtheworld,somemembersoftheYosemiteclimbingcommunitybegantosaypubliclythatwhatthepairhaddonewasnotactuallycalledclimbing."但他们的成就并非没有争议：随着这次攀登成为世界各地的头条新闻，优胜美地攀岩社区的一些成员开始公开表示，这两个人所做的实际上不能被称为攀岩。可知，一些人对二者的成就有些争议。可推知，他们对Joe和Sam的成就持否定态度。故选D。7．推理判断题。根据最后一段"Reachingthetopcannotbesosimple.Theclimbingtakesmanydays,whichmeanscarryingupallnecessaryfood,waterandotherheavyequipment.Italsoinvolvessettingupandsleepingonasmallplatformthat'ssuspended(悬)thousandsoffeetintheair.Therockfaceisveryexposed,aterm(术语)usedtodescribeaplacethat'ssteep(陡峭的)andunprotected."到达山顶绝非易事。攀岩需要很多天，这意味着要带上所有必要的食物、水和其他重型设备。这还涉及到在一个悬挂在数千英尺空中的小平台上搭建和睡觉。岩壁是暴露的，这个术语用来描述一个陡峭且没有保护的地方。可知，到达山顶绝非易事，攀岩需要很多天，同时还涉及到在一个悬挂在数千英尺空中的小平台上搭建和睡觉。可推知，攀岩需要勇气。故选B。【答案】8．D9．A10．D11．C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了白噪音（由多种频率声音混合而成的背景音）被广泛认为能改善睡眠质量，但其效果存在争议。研究表明，白噪音可能通过掩盖环境噪音帮助部分人更快入睡，但现有研究质量参差不齐，部分结果甚至显示其可能干扰睡眠或损害听力。科学家呼吁进一步研究以明确其作用机制及适用性，同时肯定了其在减少对突发噪音敏感性方面的潜在价值。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和标题归纳三个题型的考查，是一篇科研类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

8．细节理解题。根据第二段中的"Itisacombinationofallthefrequenciesofsoundplayedatonce.Itcancoverthesoundsofothernoisesbecauseofitsvariousfrequencies,leadingmanypeopletoexperienceitscalmingeffects."它是同时播放的所有频率的声音的组合。由于其不同的频率，它可以掩盖其他噪音的声音，使许多人体验到它的镇静效果。可知白噪音有镇静作用是因为它可以掩盖其他声音。故选D。9．推理判断题。根据第三段中的"Studieshavethatlisteningtowhitenoisepositivelyfoundaffectssleep.Forexample,peoplelivinginahigh-noiseareaofNewYorkCityfellasleepfasterandspentmoreoftheirtimeinbedasleepwhilelisteningtowhitenoise.Inanotherstudy,listeningtowhitenoisethroughheadphonesimprovedsleepqualityforseriouslyillpatientsinaloudhospitalroom."研究表明，听白噪音对睡眠有积极的影响。例如，生活在纽约市高噪音地区的人入睡更快，并且花更多的时间在床上睡觉，同时听白噪音。在另一项研究中，在嘈杂的病房里，戴着耳机听白噪音可以改善重病患者的睡眠质量。可知作者通过举例解释白噪音的好处，故选A。10．推理判断题。根据第四段中的"However,arecentanalysisofmultiplestudieslookingatwhitenoise'seffectonsleephasproducedmixedresults.Theresearchersaredoubtfulaboutthequalityofexistingevidenceandconcludethatfurtherresearchisnecessaryinordertowidelyrecommendwhitenoiseasasleepaid."然而，最近一项针对白噪音对睡眠影响的多项研究的分析得出了不同的结果。研究人员对现有证据的质量表示怀疑，并得出结论，为了广泛推荐白噪音作为助眠剂，还需要进一步的研究；以及第五段"Despitethat,researchersarestilloptimisticthatthesteadyhumofwhitenoisemightreduceasleeper'ssensitivitytounpredictablenoisesfromtheenvironment,suchastransportationsoundslikecarsandplanes,whichareconsideredamajorcontributortopoorsleep."尽管如此，研究人员仍然乐观地认为，白噪音的持续嗡嗡声可能会降低睡眠者对环境中不可预测的噪音的敏感性，比如汽车和飞机等交通工具的声音，这些噪音被认为是导致睡眠质量差的主要原因。可推知研究人员会同意需要更多的研究来证实白噪音对睡眠的影响的观点。故选D。11．标题归纳题。根据第三段中的"Studieshavethatlisteningtowhitenoisepositivelyfoundaffectssleep.Forexample,peoplelivinginahigh-noiseareaofNewYorkCityfellasleepfasterandspentmoreoftheirtimeinbedasleepwhilelisteningtowhitenoise.Inanotherstudy,listeningtowhitenoisethroughheadphonesimprovedsleepqualityforseriouslyillpatientsinaloudhospitalroom."研究表明，听白噪音对睡眠有积极的影响。例如，生活在纽约市高噪音地区的人入睡更快，并且花更多的时间在床上睡觉，同时听白噪音。在另一项研究中，在嘈杂的病房里，戴着耳机听白噪音可以改善重病患者的睡眠质量。可知本文讲述白噪音对睡眠有积极影响，但还有待进一步研究证明，"白噪音有助于睡眠吗?"符合文章主旨，适合作为标题，故选C。【答案】12．A13．D14．C15．D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。研究人员发现考前写出担忧有助于缓解压力，从而获得良好的表现。【点评】考查阅读理解。本篇文章涉及细节理解题以及推理判断题两种题型。细节理解题要求考生能在快速阅读文章的同时，从中获取某些特定的直接信息或理解特定信息的意义。做细节理解题时，要根据题干中的关键词，找准相关句、段的内容，再仔细对照，不符合原文意义的选项要首先排除，反之，则是正确选项。做推理判断题时，要求考生不能凭主观臆断推测或妄加猜测，必须忠实于原文，以材料所提供的相关事实和线索为依据，使做出的推理合乎文意。需要注意：审清题目要求；锁定关键信息；挖掘隐含信息；排除干扰选项；把握语境情感；逻辑推理分析。12．细节理解题。根据第一段"Thestudentsstartworryingabouttheresults.(学生们开始担心考试结果。)"可知，考试前学生们可能会开始担心考试结果，即他们是否会通过考试。故选A。13．细节理解题。根据第二段"ProfessorBeilockandanotherresearcher,GerardoRamirez,havedevelopedapossiblesolution.Justbeforeanexam,highlyanxioustest-takersspendtenminuteswritingabouttheirworriesaboutthetest.(贝洛克教授和另一位研究员赫拉尔多·拉米雷斯提出了一种可能的解决方案。考试前，高度焦虑的考生花十分钟写下他们对考试的担忧。)"可知，研究人员研究的解决方案是让学生在考试前写下他们的担忧。故选D。14．细节理解题。根据第三段"Theytoldthembeforefinalexamseithertowriteabouttheirfeelingsortothinkaboutthingsunrelatedtothetest.ProfessorBeilocksayshighlyanxiousstudentswhodidthewritinggotanaveragegradeofB+,comparedtoaB-forthosewhodidnot.(他们让学生在期末考试前写下自己的感受，或者想想与考试无关的事情。贝洛克教授说，写感受的高度焦虑的学生平均成绩为B+，而没有写感受的学生平均成绩为B-。)"可知，那些思考与测试无关的事情的人比那些写下自己感受的人表现的糟糕。故选C。15．推理判断题。根据最后一段"Butwhatifstudentsdonothaveachancetowriteabouttheirfearsimmediatelybeforeanexam?ProfessorBeilocksaysstudentscantryitthemselvesathomeorinthelibraryandstillimprovetheirperformance.(但是，如果学生没有机会在考试前立即写下他们的恐惧呢?贝洛克教授说，学生们可以在家里或图书馆自己尝试，仍然可以提高他们的成绩。)"可知，考试前我们在哪里把忧虑写出来并不重要。故选D。【答案】16．G；17．E；18．B；19．D；20．F【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，肢体语言是一种非语言交流形式，理解他人肢体语言并留意自身非语言信号是极具价值的技能，它能提升人际交往与社交能力，帮助在任何情境下更好交流，具体体现在能塑造良好第一印象、助力公开演讲、在求职面试中脱颖而出、让日常生活更顺畅以及冷静应对绩效评估等方面。

【点评】考查七选五，本文是一篇文化类阅读，要求在理解细节信息的基础上，着重考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。

16．根据空前"Theabilitytounderstandpeople'sbodylanguageandbeawareofyourownnonverbalsignalsisanextremelyvaluableskilltohave."理解他人的肢体语言并意识到自己的非言语信号是一种极其宝贵的技能。提到理解他人和自己的肢体语言是一种非常有价值的技能；以及空后"Itcanalsohelpimproveyourinterpersonalrelationshipsandsocialskills."它还可以帮助改善你的人际关系和社交技能。表明理解肢体语言的作用，G.Readingbodylanguagehelpsyoubetterunderstandwhatothersareconveying."读懂肢体语言有助于你更好地理解他人所传达的信息。"承上启下，符合语境。故选G。17．根据空前"Itmakesabetterfirstimpression."它能给人留下更好的第一印象。提到肢体语言给人留下更好的第一印象，E.Someone'sfirstimpressionofyoucanstickwiththemforever."别人对你的第一印象可能会永远留在他们心中。"进一步强调了留下好印象的重要性
