tyleof“nodding”toindicateapageturnwhichtheyneedtopractisewiththeirpageturner.(无声的舞台交流是关键，每个钢琴家都有自己的“点头”风格来表示翻页，他们需要和翻页者进行练习)”可知，Titterton需要练习识别钢琴演奏者的“点头”示意来翻页。故选B项。【27题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“He’sinterestedinthemusic,feelingeverynote,andIhavetosay:‘Turn,turn!’(他对音乐很感兴趣，感受着每一个音符，所以我不得不说：“翻页，翻页！”)”可知，MsRaspopova的丈夫因为对音乐感兴趣，所以帮她翻页的时候总是沉浸在音乐中而忘掉自己的工作，她不得不去提醒。故选D【答案】28.C29.D30.A31.B【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了竞走相比跑步有诸多的优势，但是之前受过伤的人，要想从事这样运动要谨慎，最好咨询专家的建议。【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“Butthesport’srulesrequirethataracewalker’skneesstaystraightthroughmostofthelegswingandonefootremainincontactwiththegroundatalltimes.”可知，但这项运动的规则要求竞走者的膝盖在摆动腿的大部分时间保持伸直，一只脚始终与地面接触。由此可知，竞走运动员是需要具备某些条件的运动员是因为运动员需要遵守特殊的规则。故选C项。【29题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“Asaresult,shesays,someoftheinjuriesassociatedwithrunning,suchasrunner’sknee,areuncommonamongracewalkers.”可知，一些与跑步有关的损伤，比如跑步者的膝盖，在竞走者中并不常见。由此可知，竞走与跑步相比的优势是不太可能导致膝盖受伤。故选D项。【30题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段Dr.Norberg说的话“Infact,anyonewishingtotryracewalkingshouldprobablyfirstconsultacoachorexperiencedracertolearnpropertechnique(事实上，任何想尝试竞走的人都应该首先咨询教练或有经验的竞走运动员，学习适当的技巧。)”可知，Dr.Norberg建议想尝试竞走的人征询专家的建议。故选A项。【31题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“Racewalkingsharesmanyfitnessbenefitswithrunning,researchshows,whilemostlikelycontributingtofewerinjuries.Itdoes,however,haveitsownproblem.”可知，研究表明，竞走和跑步一样有很多健身益处，而且它还很少导致受伤。不过，它也有自己的问题。由此判断出作者对于竞走的态度是客观的。故选B项。【答案】32.D33.A34.C35.C【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了绿色植物对人们很有好处，因此麻省理工学院的工程师开发了一种发光植物。文章介绍了他们发明这种植物的过程，以及这种植物的一些优势，指出在未来发光植物有可能取代路灯，达到节约能源的作用。【32题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段中AstudyconductedinYoungstown,Ohio,forexample,discoveredthatgreenerareasofthecityexperiencedlesscrime.Inanother,employeeswereshowntobe15%moreproductivewhentheirworkplacesweredecoratedwithhouseplants.可知例如，在俄亥俄州扬斯敦进行的一项研究发现，城市绿化较好的地区犯罪率较低。在另一项研究中，当员工的工作场所被室内植物装饰时，他们的工作效率会提高15%。由此可知，第一段的主旨是关于绿色植物的益处。故选D。【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中Theseincludeplantsthathavesensorsprintedontheirleavestoshowwhenthey'reshortofwaterandaplantthatcandetectharmfulchemicalsingroundwater.可知这就包括叶子上印有传感器来显示植物缺水的情况的植物，还有一种植物可以检测到地下水中的有害化学物质。由此可知，麻省理工学院工程师植物叶片上印上传感器的作用是检测植物缺水的情况。故选A。【34题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中Glowingplantscouldreducethisdistanceandthereforehelpsaveenergy.可知发光的植物可以缩短这段距离，从而帮助节约能源。由此可知，这种发光的植物在未来可能有助于减少能源消耗。故选C。【35题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段中Lightingaccountsforabout7%ofthetotalelectricityconsumedintheUS.Sincelightingisoftenfarremovedfromthepowersource-suchasthedistancefromapowerplanttostreetlampsonaremotehighway-alotofenergyislostduringtransmission.Glowingplantscouldreducethisdistanceandthereforehelpsaveenergy.可知照明约占美国总耗电量的7%。由于照明通常远离电源，例如从发电厂到偏僻公路上路灯的距离，在传输过程中会损失大量能源。发光的植物可以缩短这段距离，从而帮助节约能源。结合文章主要说明了绿色植物对人们很有好处，因此麻省理工学院的工程师开发了一种发光植物，文章介绍了他们发明这种植物的过程，以及这种植物的一些优势，指出在未来发光植物有可能取代路灯，达到节约能源的作用。由此可知，C选项“发光的植物能取代路灯吗？”最符合文章标题。故选C。【答案】36.B37.F38.D39.C40.A【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几个自我接纳的小技巧。【36题详解】根据题目AFewTipsforSelf-acceptance(自我接纳的几点建议)及下文的Here'sahandfulofwaysthatwillsetyouintherightdirection.(这有很多可以帮你找到正确方向的方法。)可知，选项B.Wheredoyoustart?(从哪里开始那？)最合下文语境，故选B项。【37题详解】根据下文Areyouhopingthateventuallyyouwillfeelempoweredbecauseyourlifeisbetterthantheirs?Knowthatyourlifeisyourown;youaretheonlyoneinthisworld.(你是否希望最终你会因为自己的生活比他们的好而感到有力量？要知道，你的生活是你自己的；你在这个世界上是独一无二的。)可知，本段主要讲述不要把自己和别人作比较，因为生活是我们自己的，我们也是世界上独一无二的。故F.Stopcomparingyourselfwithothers.(停止把自己和别人进行比较。)可以作为本段中心句，故选F项。【38题详解】根据本文的中心句Forgiveyourselfformistakesthatyouhavemade.(原谅自己所犯的错误。)及下文的Youwillmakemistakes,timeandtimeagain.(你会一次又一次地犯错误。)可知，本句是在说明要讲自己看作一个普通人，普通人是会犯错的。选项D.Remember,youareonlyhuman.(记住，你只是个人。)与上下文衔接最好，故选D项。【39题详解】根据上文Listallofyouraccomplishmentsandachievements.Youhaveajob,earnedyourdegree,andyougotoutofbedtoday.(列出你所有的成就。你有了一份工作，拿到了学位，今天你拜托了困境。)可知，这些小事都是你取得的成就，都值得庆祝，即没有什么事是太小而不值得庆祝的。故选C项。【40题详解】结合上文Putintowordswhyyoufeelunworthy,whyyoudon'tfeelgoodenough.Now,readthesewordsbacktoyourself.(用语言来解释为什么你觉得自己不值得，为什么你觉得自己不够好。现在，自己读一下这些话。)和下文的Turntoapageinyourjournaltoyourlistofstrengthsandachievements.Seehowawesomeyouare?(翻到你日记本上记下你的优点和成就的那页。看到你有多棒了吗？)可推知本句是在说明“再次感到心烦意乱”的情况。选项A.Feelingupsetagain?(再次感觉心烦意乱了吗？)最合上下文语境，故选A项。【答案】21.B22.C23.D24.A25.B26.C27.A28.C29.D30.C31.A32.B33.D34.C35.B【解析】【导语】本文为记叙文。2008年，在从得克萨斯州达拉斯飞往俄亥俄州辛辛那提看望朋友的航班上，活动策划人佩吉·切诺特梦想着有一天能为女儿举办盛大的生日派对（佩吉当时怀孕五个月）。然后，她翻阅一本杂志，看到了一张照片，照片上是一个贫穷的海地男孩，瘦骨嶙峋。于是就开始了帮助那些孩子们的行动。【21题详解】考查代词词义辨析。句意：“我想，这个孩子什么都没有。”Paige说。A.everything每件事；B.nothing没有什么；C.anything任何事物；D.something某物。根据前文“shesawaphotoofapoorHaitianboy.”可知，她看到一个贫穷的男孩，所以认为这个男孩什么都没有。故选B项。【22题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：这个画面一直萦绕在她的脑海里，她决心做点什么来帮助他。A.persuaded劝说；B.appealed上诉；C.resolved下定决心；D.preferred较喜欢。根据后文“IdecidedIwouldusemytalentsto3birthdaypartiesforhomelesskids”可知，佩吉·切诺特决定去帮助男孩。故选C项。【23题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：“我决定用我的才能为无家可归的孩子们举办生日派对，”佩吉说。A.take取走；B.get得到；C.turn转动；D.throw举行聚会。根据后文“determinehowbesttopullofftheparties”可知，是举办生日派对。故选D项。【24题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：在接下来的四年里，佩吉和她的丈夫科林(Colin)从为人父母的工作中抽出时间，走访收容所，以确定如何最好地举办派对。A.parenthood做父母的身份；B.childhood童年；C.neighborhood邻里；D.brotherhood兄弟情谊。根据前文“Paigeandherhusband,Colin”可知，此处说的是他们两人的身份，应该是为人父母的身份。故选A项。【25题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：在接下来的四年里，佩吉和她的丈夫科林(Colin)从为人父母的工作中抽出时间，走访收容所，以确定如何最好地举办派对。A.communities社区；B.shelters收容所；C.factories工厂；D.hospitals医院。根据后文“Finally,inJa
