【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，是一篇故事类阅读，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。

24．推理判断题。根据第一段"Mygrandmapassedawaylastweek.Mymumbeganthepainfulyetnecessarytaskofsortingthroughherbelongings."我奶奶上周去世了。我妈妈开始了一项痛苦但必要的工作：整理她的物品；以及下文可知，本文讲述了奶奶去世后，留给了作者一种可爱的植物芦荟，这种特殊的植物是家人之间的一种活生生的关系，后来作者努力把这种可爱的植物传播到整个大家庭。可推知，作者想要他祖母的芦荟，因为他对这种植物有一段美好的回忆。故选B。25．推理判断题。根据第四段中的"Sometimearound1975,Grandma,alwaysbelievinggoodthingswouldhappeninthefuture,receivedthisplantasagift,whichsheappreciatedandplacedinherdoorway."1975年左右的某个时候，奶奶总是相信未来会有好事发生，她收到了这种植物作为礼物，她很感激并把它放在门口。可推知，奶奶是乐观的；以及第六段中的"Numeroustimes,Grandmagavemecuttingsorclippingsoftheplant,hopingImightraisemyownandcontinuethelegend.Yet,everytime,mynewbranchdiedwithmyawfulgardeningskills.Butthatdidn'tusedtomatter,becauseIcouldturntoGrandma,whowouldwaitandacceptmydisturbancewithoutbecomingupset."奶奶给了我很多次这种植物的剪枝，希望我能自己养，继续这个传说。然而，每一次，我的新枝条都因我糟糕的园艺技能而枯萎。但这在过去并不重要，因为我可以求助于奶奶，她会等着接受我的打扰，而不会感到不安。可推知，奶奶是有耐心的，从来不会因我的打扰而烦恼。故选A。26．细节理解题。根据第六段"Numeroustimes,Grandmagavemecuttingsorclippingsoftheplant,hopingImightraisemyownandcontinuethelegend.Yet,everytime,mynewbranchdiedwithmyawfulgardeningskills.Butthatdidn'tusedtomatter,becauseIcouldturntoGrandma,whowouldwaitandacceptmydisturbancewithoutbecomingupset.ThenIgotanotherclippingandtriedagain.ButnowIcan't.So,IdecidedthattheplantwillgoandlivewithAnn,mymother-in-law,whoisageniuswithagreenhouse."奶奶给了我很多次这种植物的剪枝，希望我能自己养，继续这个传说。然而，每一次，我的新枝条都因我糟糕的园艺技能而枯萎。但这在过去并不重要，因为我可以求助于奶奶，她会等着接受我的打扰，而不会感到不安。然后我又剪了一枝，然后再试了一次。但现在我不能了。所以，我决定让这株植物去和我的岳母住在一起，她是一个养温室绿植的天才。可知，作者把芦荟带给了他的岳母是为了让植物得到更好的照顾。故选B。27．标题归纳题。根据第一段"Mygrandmapassedawaylastweek.Mymumbeganthepainfulyetnecessarytaskofsortingthroughherbelongings."我奶奶上周去世了。我妈妈开始了一项痛苦但必要的工作：整理她的物品；以及下文可知，本文讲述了奶奶去世后，留给了作者一种可爱的植物芦荟，这种特殊的植物是家人之间的一种活生生的关系，后来作者努力把这种可爱的植物传播到整个大家庭。"芦荟：我的家庭纽带"适合作本文标题。故选B。阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。OnJune6thColumbiaUniversityannouncedthatitwillnolongercooperatewithUSNewsWorldReport'sundergraduaterankings.Itisthefirsttopinstitutiontodoso.Mightitsdeparturebethestartofamassdeparture?Columbia'sdecisionfollowsarankingscandal(丑闻)lastyear.InFebruary2022,oneofColumbia'sownmathsprofessorsaccusedthecollegeofhavingused"outdatedand/orincorrectdata"inseveralareas.Inthe1980s,potentialstudentsstartedtoexpandtheircollegesearchbeyondtheirlocalarea,anditwashardtolearnaboutuniversitiesandcomparethem.Hence,USNewsbeganrankingAmerica'stopuniversitiesin1983,andhasreleaseditsfindingsannuallysince1988.Universitieshaveputinsignificantefforttomoveupintheratings.RichardFreeland,NortheasternUniversity'sformerpresident,cappedclasssizestoenhancestudentengagementandguaranteeclassquality.Consequently,itmovedfrom127thin2003to44ththisyear.Therankingsystemusedtoseemunstoppable.Universitieshavetriedtogetridofitbefore,onlytofindthatdoingsocanbackfirebadly.USNewsstillranksnon-participatinguniversities,usingpubliclyavailableinformation,andthedataoftendonotgointheirfavour.Columbiadidnotsubmitdataforthisyear'sanalysis,anditsrankingfellfromsecondin2021-22to18thin2022-23.Recentlythemoodhasbeguntochange,however,especiallyamonggraduateschools.In2022,ofthe15highest-rankedlawschools,onlytheUniversityofChicagosubmitteddata.InMayUSNewsannouncedchangestoitsrankingmethodology.Itismovingawayfrommetrics(度量标准)thatrelyonreputationandtowardsstudentoutcomes.Onewayoranother,therankingsanduniversitiesmorebroadlyareinastateofconstantchange.28．WhatistrueabouttheUSNewsundergraduaterankings?A．Itfilledaninformationgapinthepast.B．Itfakedtheinformationfortheratings.C．Itpromotedthequalityofhighereducation.D．It'sbeenreleasedeveryyearfor40years.29．Whatdoestheunderlinedword"capped"inparagraph4mean?A．doubled B．maintained C．increased D．limited30．WhatwillhappentoauniversityifitdoesnotcooperatewithUSNews?A．Itsinformationwillberemoved.B．Itwillbeexcludedfromthelistforever.C．Itsrankingwillprobablysufferconsequently.D．Itwillcertainlybemeasuredwithincorrectdata.31．USNewsundergraduaterankingsmayfocusmoreon____inthefuture.A．thechangingmoodofuniversitiesB．theinstantfameofuniversitiesC．scoresgivenbyformerstudentsD．achievementsofuniversitygraduates【答案】28．A29．D30．C31．D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了哥伦比亚大学退出美国大学排名，更多的学校会效仿吗？并对此现象进行说明和阐述。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇教育类阅读，通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。28．细节理解题。根据第三段"Inthe1980s,potentialstudentsstartedtoexpandtheircollegesearchbeyondtheirlocalarea,anditwashardtolearnaboutuniversitiesandcomparethem.Hence,USNewsbeganrankingAmerica'stopuniversitiesin1983,andhasreleaseditsfindingsannuallysince1988."在20世纪80年代，潜在的学生开始将他们的大学搜索范围扩大到当地以外，很难了解大学并进行比较。因此，《美国新闻与世界报道》从1983年开始对美国顶尖大学进行排名，并从1988年开始每年发布一次排名结果。可知，在20世纪80年代，《美国新闻与世界报道》开始提供美国大学排名，让毕业生了解到他们居住地以外的大学的情况，填补了过去的信息空白。故选A。29．词义猜测题。根据第四段中的"Universitieshaveputinsignificantefforttomoveupintheratings."大学为提高排名付出了巨大的努力；以及"…classsizestoenhancestudentengagementandguaranteeclassquality."……班级规模，提高学生参与度，保证课堂质量；和"Consequently,itmovedfrom127thin2003to44ththisyear."因此，从2003年的127位上升到今年的44位。可知，为了提升大学排名，RichardFreeland前东北大学校长作出了限制班级规模的应对措施，因此东北大学从2003年的127位上升到今年的44位。划线词capped与limited"限制"同义。故选D。30．推理判断题。根据第五段中的"Universitieshavetriedtogetridofitbefore,onlytofindthatdoingsocanbackfirebadly.USNewsstillranksnon-participatinguniversities,usingpubliclyavailableinformation,andthedataoftendonotgointheirfavour.Columbiadidnotsubmitdataforthisyear'sanalysis,anditsrankingfellfromsecondin2021-22to18thin2022-23."大学以前也曾试图摆脱它，结果发现这样做可能会适得其反。《美国新闻与世界报道》仍然使用公开信息对未参与排名的大学进行排名，而数据往往不利于这些大学。哥伦比亚大学没有提交今年分析的数据，其排名从2021-22年度的第二名降至2022-23年度的第18名。可知，大学不与美国新闻与世界报道》合作，《美国新闻与世界报道》仍然使用公开信息对未参与排名的大学进行排名，而数据往往不利于这些大学。可推知，如果一所大学不与《美国新闻与世界报道》合作，它的排名可能会因此受到影响。故选C。31．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的"Itismovingawayfrommetrics(度量标准)thatrelyonreputationandtowardsstudentoutcomes."它正在从依赖声誉的指标转向学生的成绩。可知，未来，《美国新闻与世界报道》的本科排名可能会更多地关注大学毕业生的成就。故选D。阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。Afteraheavysnowstorm,Iranoutsideexcitedlytobuildasnowman.NomatterhowIrolledmysnowball,itrefusedtogrow.Afterrestingforawhile,Irestartedthejob.ThenInoticedIhadanaudience—aprim-looking(古板的)couplewithobviousdisapproval.MyfaceturnedredasItriedtoanswertheirunspokenquestion:Don'tyouhaveanythingbettertodo?Anadultplayingbyherselfseemsstrange,butmaybeitshouldn't.Newresearchsuggeststhatmodernadultshaveignoredtheirplayinstinct(本能).Mostanimalsstopplayingasadults.However,thereareahandfulofanimalsthatneverstop.Onepossibilityisthatadultplayisimportantandbeneficial,—atheorysupportedbyastudy.ResearcherCamillaCennifromtheUniversityofLethbridgeleftsomepuzzleboxesforsomemonkeystosolve.Togetthefoodinside,theyhadtodroparockintothecontainer.Themonkeysthatpreviouslyhaddroppedrocksforfunweremorelikelytosolvethepuzzle.Thisfindingalsosuggestssomewhereinourevolutionaryhistory—aplayfulhumaninventedstonetools.Eventoday,theurgetoplayaccountsforsomeofhumans'greatestinventions.Adultplayisalsoaboutpreparingfortheunexpected.Andbiologistsfounditsmostimportantfunctionisimprovingrelationshipsandhelpingindividualsgetalong.Adultplaypromotesinclusivity,cooperationandcreativity—allqualitiesthatwehumanscoulduse.Unfortunately,socialnormsholdbackoururgetoletloose."Generallyspeaking,weliketodothethingsthatarenecessaryforoursurvival,"saysPeterGray,aplayresearcheratBostonUniversity,"Humanstookonegiantstepawayfromfunwhenwestartedplantingcrops.Plowing(耕)fieldsishardandboring.Thenweinventedfactoriesandlostsightofplay."Withthreatslikeclimatechange,it'seasytogetintoseriousness.Butweshouldunderstandthevalueofencouragingadultplay.SonexttimeI'mcaughtplaying,Iknowwhattosay,"I'mplayingforthebenefitofallhumankind.You'rewelcome."32．Whydidtheauthor'sfaceturnred?A．Shewasconsideredtoooldtoplay.B．Shehaddifficultymakingasnowman.C．Shewasignoredbyaprim-lookingcouple.D．Shecouldn'tanswerthecouple'squestion.33．WhatcanbeinferredaboutadultplayfromParagraph3?A．Itisthenaturalneedofhumans.B．Itcancontributetousef
