BlockIslandandvisit1661barmsandGardens,whichishometokangaroos,camels,

ducks,goatsandmuchmore.（在那里，你可以前往布洛克岛，参观1661农场和花园，

那里有袋鼠、骆驼、鸭子、山羊等动物。）可知，BlockIsland适合喜欢看动物的游客。

故选B项。

trips,hikingpathsandwaterfal1stopsal1alongtheBlueRidgeParkway.Ifyou

【答案】24.D25.B26.C27.B

【解析】

这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者用乐善好施的托尼・马奇的故事告诉我们给予的快乐就是生活的

快乐，一个人做好事能带动许多人做好事，而改变一个社会。

【24题详解】

词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“Atatimewhenhumankindnessandsympathyseemtobe

ontheendangeredbehaviorlist,"及下文"amanlike1'onyandberemindedthat

caringindividualsstillexist,thatthehumanspirit,firmlyfocused,canachieve

wonders”可知，当人类的善良和同情似乎被列入濒危行为清单的时候，托尼却用实际行动

提醒着我们有爱心的人仍然存在，人类精神，只要坚定地专注，就能创造奇迹，这自然是“令

人振奋的“事情，故划线词和“exciting”意思接近。故选D项。

【25题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段uThroughallthementalandphysicalabuse,Tonydidn'tgive

upandusededucationtobreakthepoornesscycleandbecametheownerof21auto

dealerships."Itiseducationthatbringssuccesstome,“hesaid.（尽管遭受了

精神和身体上的虐待，托尼没有放弃，而是利用教育打破了贫困的循环，成为了21家汽车

经销商的老板。“是教育给我带来了成功，”他说。）可知，教育对托尼的影响很大。故选

B项。

【26题详解】

细节理解题。根据第四段"WhentheDirectorofMetropolitanMinistriesfoundoutabout

Tony,hesuggestedthatMr.March“gopublic”withhisstorysothatothers,

inspiredbywhathehaddone,wouldbemorewillingtogivetheirtalent,timeand

moneytohelpthelessfortunateaswell.Itwasapersuasiveargument

thatTonyfinallyaccepted.v（当一个流浪者收容所的负责人发现了托尼的事迹后，建

议他将自己的故事“公诸于众”，这样其他人受到他事迹的鼓舞，也会更愿意献出他优的才

华、时间和金钱去帮助那些不幸的人。托尼最终接受了这个有说服力的说法。）可知，托尼

最终同意写一本关于他的书是因为他想鼓励更多的人做好事。故选C项。

【27题详解】

主旨大意题。文章开篇点题，根据第一段“Somepeopleusuallysaythatthejoyofgiving

isthejoyofliving.”可知，有些人常说给予的快乐就是生活的快乐；下文用托尼的具

体事例表明帮助别人能够使得更多的人快乐地生活；最后一段进行总结：5出canlive

joyouslybygivingjoyously（一个人可以通过快乐地给予而快乐地生活）。故B选项“The

JoyofGivingIstheJoyofLiving”（给予的快乐就是生活的快乐）最适

合作文章标题。故选B项。

【答案】28.C29.C30.B31.D

【解^5]

本文是一篇说明文。研究者利用高温可将废弃的食物或塑料垃圾等材料转换为极具经济价值

的石墨烯。

【28题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段“AnewprocessintroducedbytheRiceUniversitylabof

chemistJamesTourcanturnlargequantitiesofalmostanycarbonsourceinto

valueiblegraphene.ToursaidtheMflashgraphenewtechniquecantransformaton

ofcoal,foodwasteorplasticintographeneforatinyamountofthecostusedby

引入了一种新工艺，可以将几乎任何碳源的大量碳转化为有价值的石墨烯。图尔说，这种“闪

蒸石墨烯”技术可以将一吨煤炭、食物垃圾或塑料转化为石墨烯，其成本仅为其他石墨烯生

产方法的极小部分。)”可知，JamesTour的石墨烯生产方法，不仅有成本优势，而且原材

料易得。故选C项。

【29题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段“Theworldthrowsout30%to40%ofallfoodeveryyear

andplasticwasteisofworldwideconcern.（全世界每年扔掉30%到40%的食物，塑料垃

圾引起了全世界的关注。）”以及第四段“AsreportedinNature,aconcentrationofas

1ittleas0.1%offlashgrapheneinthecement（水泥）usedtobindconcretecould

lessenitsmassiveenvironmentaleffectbyathird.Productionofcementreportedly

givesoffasmuchas8%humanmadecarbondioxideeveryyear.（据《自然》杂志报道，

在用于粘结混凝土的水泥中，只要含有0.1%的石墨烯，就能将其对环境的巨大影响降低三

分之一。据报道，水泥生产每年释放出高达8%的人为二氧化碳。）”可知，闪蒸石墨烯以

食物和塑料垃圾为原料，且可减少建筑行业的水泥需求，这说明了：闪蒸石墨烯在缓解全球

变暖有大潜力。故选C项。

【30题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段"Theproblemwiththeflashprocessatthecurrentstage

is:Theresearcherscouldonlymakeaboutapicogramofgraphene,anextremelysmall

amountofgraphenethatmightbesuitableforelectronics.Tourhopestoproduce

akilogramadayofflashgraphenewithintwoyears,startingwithaprojectrecently

fundedbytheDepartmentofEnergytochangeU.S.sourcedcoal.（目前闪蒸工艺的问

题是:研究人员只能制造出大约一微克的石墨烯，这是极少量的石墨烯，可能适用于电子产

品。Tour希望在两年内每天生产1公斤的闪蒸石墨烯，这是从能源部最近资助的一个项目

开始的，该项目旨在改变源自美国的煤炭。）”可知，研究人员在接下来的2年里将会致力

于增加这种闪蒸石墨烯的产出。故选B项。

【31题详解】

推理判断题。由第一段“ThalbdiiciucLpeelfromyuurlunch,turnedintogrttpheiie（石

墨烯），avaluablematerialinelectronicsandmanyotherfields,couldbringa

massivereductionoftheenironmentaieffectofconcrete（混凝土）andotherbuilding

materials.（你午餐吃的香蕉皮，可以转化为石墨烯，一种在甩子和许多其他领域有价值的

材料，可以大大降低混凝土和其他建筑材料对环境的影响。）”可知，文章要介绍一种将垃

圾转化为材料的方法。通读全文可知，文章介绍了：研究者利用高温可将废弃的食物或塑料

垃圾等材料转换为极具经济价值的石墨烯。所以文章的主要目的是呈现•种把垃圾变为“宝

藏”的方式，故选D项。
