【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WhyAttendTurnItUpDanceChallenge?部分中的"Competitionsarenotduringschoolhours"比赛不在上课时间进行。可知，TurnItUpDanceChallenge的优势是时间很方便。故选A。2．细节理解题。根据·DanceConventions部分中的"You'llmeetandconnectwithmanywell-knownandup-and-comingprofessionalsinthedanceindustry!"你会遇到并联系到许多知名的和有前途的专业人士在舞蹈行业！可知，参加者可以在TurnItUpDance大会上结识著名的专业人士。故选C。3．推理判断题。根据第一段中的"Lookingforafun,affordable,professional,andorganizeddancecompetitionnearyou?TurnItUpDanceChallengeisnotjustaweekendofdancingandcompetingbutatrulymemorable,educational,andpositiveexperience."在你附近寻找一个有趣的、负担得起的、专业的、有组织的舞蹈比赛吗？打开它的舞蹈挑战不只是一个周末的舞蹈和竞争，而是一个真正难忘的，教育和积极的经验。可知本文介绍了一个舞蹈比赛的情况。文章可能选自一本杂志。故选B。【答案】4．C5．D6．A7．C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者在印度喀拉拉邦经历严重洪灾后，从原本追求的土木工程转向灾害研究与社会科学的职业转变历程。

【点评】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。根据第一段中的"Thisexperiencehadaprofoundimpactonme,leadingmetoanewcareerpath."这次经历对我产生了深远的影响，引领我走上了一条新的职业道路。可知，作者提及洪水经历是为了表明它对自己的职业道路产生了重大影响。故选C。5．细节理解题。根据第二段中的"Thisdecisiongreatlysurprisedmyfriendsandfamily,whoquestionedwhyIwasleavingengineeringforsocialsciences.Theyworriedaboutmyjobprospects,butIwasdeterminedtofollowmypassion."这一决定让我的朋友和家人大为惊讶，他们质疑我为什么要离开工程学转向社会科学。他们担心我的就业前景，但我决心追随自己的热情。可知，作者的朋友和家人对他的职业决定感到惊讶，并且质疑他为什么放弃工程学转向社会科学，还担心他的就业前景，即他们感到震惊和担忧。故选D。6．推理判断题。根据第三段中的"IthenappliedforaPh.D.,despitefinancialuncertaintyandthechallengeofswitchingfields.Manyuniversitiespreferredcandidateswithconsistentacademicbackgrounds,andIfacedrejectionsandskepticismduringinterviews.However,oneprogramacceptedme,allowingmetostudyhowbetterwaterresourcemanagementandpolicycanhelpvulnerablepopulationsadapttoclimatechangeuncertainties."我随后申请了博士学位，尽管面临经济上的不确定性以及跨领域的挑战。许多大学更喜欢具有连贯学术背景的候选人，我在面试中遭遇了拒绝和质疑。然而，有一个项目录取了我，使我能够研究更好的水资源管理和政策如何能帮助弱势群体适应气候变化的不确定性。)"可知，作者申请博士学位时面临经济上的不确定性、跨专业的挑战，许多大学更倾向于学术背景一致的候选人，面试中还遭遇了拒绝和质疑，尽管困难重重，但最终有一个项目录取了他。可推断出作者申请博士学位的过程充满了波折。故选A。7．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的"Myjourneyhastaughtmethatfollowingyourheart,evenonanunconventionalpath,istherightchoice."我的旅程告诉我，跟随自己的内心，即使走在一条非传统的道路上，也是正确的选择。可知，作者的经历让他明白，即使选择一条非传统的道路，也要追随自己的内心，即我们应该不顾常规去追求梦想。故选C。【答案】8．B9．B10．A11．C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，科学家长期以来认为雷击对树木只有负面影响，但最新研究发现，中美洲和南美洲的本土巨树——油蜡豆树（almendro）不仅能耐受雷击，甚至可能从中受益。

【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，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。

8．推理判断题。根据第二段中的"Scientistshavelongbelievedthatbeinghitbylightningcouldhaveonlynegativeeffectsontrees.‘Yourbest-casescenario(设想)isthatyou'rekindofokay,andyourworst-casescenariois:youexplodeinamillionbits,'saysEvanGora,aforestecologistattheCaryInstituteofEcosystemStudiesinNewYorkState."科学家们长期以来一直认为，被闪电击中只会对树木产生负面影响。纽约州卡里生态系统研究所的森林生态学家EvanGora说："最好的情况是，你基本没事，而最坏的情况是，你会被炸得粉碎。"可知，作者引用EvanGora的话是为了支持一个观点，即长期以来科学家认为雷击对树木只有负面影响。故选B。9．细节理解题。根据第三段中的"Tofindout,heandhiscolleaguesspentseveralyearsfollowingthefateof93treesfromvariousspeciesintherainforestofcentralPanamawhentheyweredirectlystruckbylightning."为了找到答案，他和他的同事们花了几年时间追踪巴拿马中部热带雨林中93棵不同种类的树木在直接被闪电击中后的命运。可知，通过长时间追踪被雷击的树木，研究人员研究雷击对树木的影响。故选B。10．细节理解题。根据第四段中的"Theresearchersalsoassumethatthealmendromighthaveevolvedtoattractlightning—oratleastnottoavoidit,asmostothertreeshave."研究人员还假设，油蜡豆树可能已经进化到吸引闪电——或者至少不像大多数其他树木那样避免闪电。可知，油蜡豆树有可能吸引闪电。故选A。11．标题归纳题。根据第一段中的"Butforatleastonetropicaltreespecies,thismightbeagoodthing."但对于至少一种热带树种来说，这可能是一件好事；以及全文内容可知，本文探讨的是某些树种是否可能从雷击中获得益处，"树种能从闪电中受益吗？"概括文章主旨，适合作本文标题。故选C。【答案】12．B13．D14．A15．D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了智力好奇心作为人类探索世界、推动创新的核心动力，自智人出现以来始终引领着重大发现与进步。研究表明，好奇心能增强信息记忆与学习能力，并通过神经机制激发持续学习的欲望，其职场价值已获广泛认可。然而，现代社会的即时答案依赖、时间匮乏及数字文化导致的"错失恐惧症"，正削弱人们深入提问与探索的能力。尽管如此，保持好奇心仍是人类最重要的特质之一——它如同肌肉，需持续锻炼以避免退化，否则我们将错失认知世界、发现新知与体验未知的可能性。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测，推理判断和段落大意四个题型的考查，是一篇科普类阅读，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。

12．段落大意题。根据第一段中的"Sincethebeginningofhumanhistory,somewhereover300,000yearsago,intellectualcuriosity,thedesiretolearnmoreabouttheworldandfindanswerstodeeperquestions,haspavedthewayforsomeofhumankind'smostinnovativeandtransformativediscoveries."自从30多万年前人类历史的开端，智力好奇心，即了解更多关于世界和找到更深层次问题答案的欲望，已经为人类一些最具创新性和变革性的发现铺平了道路。可知，作者在第一段中主要想告诉我们智力好奇心的重要性。故选B。13．细节理解题。根据第二段中的"AstudypublishedinthejournalTrendsinCognitiveSciencesuggeststhatifcuriosityisaroused,itenhanceslearningviaincreasedattentionalprocessesduringinformationseekingandretentionviaenhancedmemory.Furthermore,neurologicalresearchhasshownthatcuriositymakesourbrainsmorereceptiveforlearning,andthataswelearn,weenjoythesensationoflearning,whichinturnleadstouswantingtolearnmoreandmore."发表在《认知科学趋势》杂志上的一项研究表明，如果好奇心被激发起来，它会通过增加信息寻求过程中的注意力过程来增强学习，并通过增强记忆来增强信息保留。此外，神经学研究表明，好奇心使我们的大脑更容易接受学习，而且随着我们的学习，我们享受学习的感觉，这反过来又使我们想要学习越来越多。可知，好奇心通过增强注意力和享受学习过程来提高我们的学习能力。故选D。14．词义猜测题。根据第三段中的"Ourconstantaccesstotechnologyhasadaptedustoseekingquicksolutionsratherthanformulatingdeeperquestions."我们不断地接触技术已经使我们适应了寻求快速解决方案，而不是formulating更深层次的问题)"可知，不断接触技术使得人们可以寻求快速解决方案，所以不会提出更深层次的问题，划线词formulating在此处意为"提出"，故选A。15．推理判断题。根据最后一段"Despitethebarriersthatexistandpreventusfromexercisingourintellectualcuriositytothefullestextent,theabilitytostaycuriousmaybeoneofthemostimportantpropertieswehave.Ifintellectualcuriosityislikeamuscle,thenweneedtobesureweareexercisingit.Ifwedon't,itmightwither(枯萎).Andwithoutit,werunariskofnotexperiencingtheworldandallofitspossibilitiesforlearning,newanswersandunexpectedexperiences."尽管存在阻碍我们充分发挥智力好奇心的障碍，但保持好奇心的能力可能是我们拥有的最重要的特性之一。如果智力好奇心像肌肉一样，那么我们需要确保我们在锻炼它。如果我们不这样做，它可能会枯萎。没有它，我们就冒着无法体验世界及其所有学习、新答案和意外经历的可能性的风险。可知，将智力好奇心比作肌肉，它需锻炼，否则枯萎，说明锻炼智力好奇心和不锻炼的结果不同，所以作者通过进行比较来阐述锻炼智力好奇心的必要性。故选D。【答案】16．E；17．B；18．D；19．F；20．C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，怀旧之情是一种苦乐交织的情感，既包含对逝去美好的渴望，也蕴含回忆幸福的甜蜜。它在当代文化中愈发普遍，具有改善情绪、提升自尊、促进社会理解等心理益处，甚至能帮助人们处理生活转折、修复人际关系。然而，过度沉溺于怀旧可能导致对现状不满、忽视现实困境，或以理想化视角看待过去。作者强调需在怀旧与现实间寻求平衡：通过感恩当下、反思成长、分享记忆等方式，既享受怀旧带来的积极影响，又避免其潜在弊端，从而让怀旧真正成为个人与社区发展的助力。

【点评】考查七选五，本文是一篇教育类阅读，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．根据空后"Afterall,itwillresultinhappyemotionsorsadoneswhichdominateaperson'sexperience."毕竟，它会导致快乐或悲伤的情绪主导一个人的体验。表明怀旧会带来不同情绪。E.Nostalgiaisevencategorizedintopositivenostalgiaandnegativenostalgia"怀旧甚至被分为积极怀旧和消极怀旧"引出了怀旧
