【答案】

21.D

22.D

23.A

【分析】

这是一篇说明文。主要是向准备留学英国的学生介绍英国寄宿制学校的日常安排。

21.细节理解题。由文章句子“Animportantpartofboardingschoollifeisthesupervisedhomeworksession

knownas"prep”.Althoughprepmightsoundstressful,it'sagreatwayibryoutokeepupwithyoursiudies.“寄宿

学校生活中一个重要的部分就是被称为“prep”的有监督的家庭作业。尽管准备工作听起来很有压力，但这是

你跟上学习进度的好方法。故选D项。

22.细节理解题。由题干中的lights定位到文章倒数第二段，由第二段中的句子“Inmostboardingschools,the

lightsgooutaround10:30pm.在大多数寄宿制学校，晚上10:3()熄灯。”可知，熄灯时间是十点半，"g。out

(灯)熄灭''是题干中"turnof的同义词。所以选项D符合题意，故选D项。

23.推理判断题。由文章最后一句"Hopefully,beingawareoftheusualroutineyou'llbefollowingcanhelpyou.

Onceyouarcthere,youwillalsosechowexcitinglifeinaboardingschoolinEnglandcanbe.”希望了解你将遵

循的日常程序能对你有所帮助。一旦你到了那里，你也会看到在英国寄宿学校的生活是多么令人兴奋”以及

44EarlyMorning,Lessons,Lunch,Activities/Sports,Prep,Freetime,Bedtime”的具体内容判断出本文的主

要目的是是向准备留学英国的学生介绍英国寄宿学校的口常安排。故选A项。

【点睛】

所谓细节题，是指原文提到了某事物、现象或理论，题干针对原文具体叙述本身发问。一般包括直接理解

题可以在原文中可宜接找到答案，常用who,what,when,where,why和how等提问。以上三个小题都是细节

理解题。做这类题一般采用寻读法，即先读题，然后带着问题快速阅读短文，找出与问题有关的词语或句

子，再对相关部分进行分析对比，找出答案。

木文是一篇记叙文。作者要将家具从家里装运到住在伦敦市中心的儿子家，决定自己租一辆卡车装运。在

停车的时候，撞上了标有残疾人标志的车子。作者还k车的时候出租k车的老板决定送作者回家，作者感

到非常感激。

24.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Ishouldhavepaidamantodo:t,butfoolishlyconfidentinmydrivingability,

Idecidedtohirealorryanddriveitmyself.（我本应雇别人装运家具的，但是出于对自己驾车能力的愚蠢的自信,

我决定租一辆卡车自己装运。）”结合下文描述的作者停车时撞上别人的车以及不得已让出租卡车的老板送自

己回家可知，作者对决定自己装运家具的事感到后悔。故选B。

25.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Igotout,tremblingviolently,likeonewhohadjustfinishedastormyAtlantic

crossing.（我下了车，浑身剧烈地颤抖着，像一个刚在暴风雨中横渡大西洋的人。）“再结合第二段最后一句“My

nervesbrokedown,asIdrovethehugelorrythroughthestreetsnervously.（当我紧张地驾驶着那辆大卡车穿过

街道时，我的神经崩溃了。）“可知，由于卡车难以驾驶，所以作者十分紧张。故选B。

26.细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Therewerewhitescratchesonitsfrontface.Itboreadisabledsign.So,now

Iwasabaddriverandabadman.（它的正面有白色的划痕。上面有一个残疾人标志。所以，现在我是一个糟糕

的司机和一个坏人。户可知，由于刚坏了带有残疾人标志的车，这可能会给残疾人带来麻烦，因此作者觉得

自己是一个坏人，故选D。

27.推理判断题。结合全文描述的作者因为对自己的驾驶技术有信心而租用卡车自己装运家具而导致一系

列问题可知，本文旨在说明“过分自信是愚蠢的故选C。

本文是•篇说明文。文章主要介绍了红海龟与其它很多动物•样都可以感知磁场。与其它动物感知磁场不

同的是，海龟依靠光来感知磁场。

28.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Thedifferencebetweenthemandloggerheads,however,isthewaytheylearn

（ousetheirmagneticsense.Youngwhalesandhoneybeescanlearnfromadulls.（然而，它们和红海鱼的不同之处

在于它们学习使用磁感应的方式。）”可知，海龟和鲸鱼、蜜蜂在寻找方向方面有所不同。故选C。

29.推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Aroundthelank,thescientistscreatedamagneticfieldthatmatchedtheEarth's.

Theysetaweaklighttotheeastofthemagneticfield.Then（heyletthenewbornsgo.（在水箱周围,科学家们创造

了一个与地球磁场相匹配的磁场。他们在磁场的东边放了一束微弱的光。然后他们放了这些新生幼海龟。y

后，在东方看到光的海龟总是往东游。当研究人员逆转磁场时，这些海龟掉头向新的“东方”游去。厂可知，

磁感应设定后，其运动方向由磁场决定，故选C。

30.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Lohmann'sworkhasledotherstoprotectthehabitatofthisendangered

species.（Lohmann的工作促使其他人保护这种濒危物种的栖息地。户可知，Lohmann的研究工作的意义在于

它有助丁•保护红海龟的生存环境。故选C。

31.主旨大意题。阅读全文，根据文章内容可知，文章主要介绍了红海龟与其它很多动物一样都可以感知

磁场。与其它动物感知磁场不同的是，海龟依靠光来感知磁场.所以TheLoggerheadsBuilt-in"Compass"（海

这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了亚马逊使用的掌纹识别系统，用手付款，而不是用信用卡或智能手机。“手
