Contact:Ourcouriers(快递员)willcallyou30minutesbeforearrivaltoensuresomeoneishome.(

联系方式：我们的快递员会在您收件时间前30分钟致电您，以确认您家中有人在家。)”可知，快递员会在到达前30分钟打电话给客户是为了确保客户在家。4．B5．D6．D7．A【导语】本文主要讲的是少年BoyanSlat应对海洋塑料污染问题的经历与成就。4．细节理解题。根据第二段“Theyarguedthatbecausetheplasticisspreadoversuchavastarea,usingshipswithnetswouldtakethousandsofyearsandcostbillionsofdollars,whichseemedlikeawasteofresources.(他们认为，由于塑料覆盖的区域如此之大，使用带有网的船只进行清理需要数千年的时间，并且需要花费数十亿美元，这似乎是对资源的极大浪费。)”可知，清理太平洋垃圾带时面临的主要难题是塑料垃圾分布广泛，使得清理工作成本高昂且难以完成。5．细节理解题。根据第三段“Thesebarriersmovewiththewaves,allowingthefaster-movingplastictobecaughtandconcentratedinonearea,whilethemarinelifecansafelyswimunderneath.(这些屏障随着海浪移动，使得速度较快的塑料能够被捕捉并集中在一个区域，而海洋生物则可以在其下方安全地游动。)”可知，Slat的被动收集系统通过使用浮动屏障利用洋流来捕获塑料。6．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“However,insteadofgivingup,theyanalyzedeverymistakeandimprovedtheirdesign.(然而，他们并没有放弃，而是对每一个错误进行分析，并改进了他们的设计。)”可知，Slat应对文中提到的质疑和技术挫折的方法是从失败中吸取教训来调整策略。7．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Slat’sstoryservesasaninspiringreminderthatageisjustanumberwhenitcomestosolvingglobalproblems,andthatwithenoughdetermination,wecanturnahopelesssituationintoasustainablesolution.(斯拉特的故事令人深受鼓舞，它向我们表明，在解决全球性问题时，年龄并不是关键因素；而且只要我们有足够的决心，就能将绝望的局面转化为可持续的解决方案。)”可知，作者对BoyanSlat的成就的态度是赞赏和支持的，即Admiringandsupportive。8．D9．C10．A11．B【导语】文章主要探讨了工作或学习时听音乐对集中注意力的影响，指出安静环境比音乐更有利于集中注意力。8．推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Canmusichelpyouconcentrateatwork?ResearchersfromtheUniversityofWalesInstituteinCardiffconductedanewstudy,andithassomeinterestingresults.(音乐能帮助你集中精力工作吗？卡迪夫威尔士大学研究所的研究人员进行了一项新研究，得出了一些有趣的结果)”和第三段中“Theparticipantsgenerallydidbetterwhentheywereworkinginsilence.(参与者在安静环境下工作时通常表现得更好)”和最后一段“So,ifyou’restudyingforanexam,turnoffyourmusic!(所以，如果你正在备考，关掉音乐吧！)”可知，文章通过介绍一项研究表明安静环境比音乐更有利于集中注意力。9．推理判断题。根据第六段中“HealsosuggestedthatMozart’smusiccouldaidbraindevelopment.Laterstudiesindicateditmightenhancechildren’sspatialintelligence,leadingtoawidespreadbeliefthatclassicalmusiccouldboostachild’sIQ.(他还认为莫扎特的音乐有助于大脑发育。后来的研究表明，古典音乐可能会提高儿童的空间智力，这导致人们普遍认为古典音乐可以提高儿童的智商)”可知，公众普遍认为“莫扎特效应”能提升智商。但根据第五段中“Thiswouldappeartocontradictthefindingsofscientistswhohaveresearchedwhatispopularlyknownasthe“MozartEffect”.(这似乎与研究所谓“莫扎特效应”的科学家的发现相矛盾)”和第七段中“Anotherstudyseemedtofurthercontradicttheideathatmusiccouldhelpwithconcentration.Theresearchersfoundthatsurveyeduniversitystudentsmostlypreferredstudyinginsilence.(另一项研究似乎进一步反驳了音乐有助于集中注意力的观点。研究人员发现，接受调查的大学生大多更喜欢安静地学习)”可知，新的研究结果与“莫扎特效应”相矛盾，发现安静环境更有利于集中注意力。由此可推知，“莫扎特效应”可能被公众高估了。10．词句猜测题。根据第七段“Anotherstudyseemedtofurthercontradicttheideathatmusiccouldhelpwithconcentration.Theresearchersfoundthatsurveyeduniversitystudentsmostlypreferredstudyinginsilence.Thoselisteningtomusicpreferredinstrumentalsongs,sayingthatlyricsaredistracting.(另一项研究似乎进一步反驳了音乐有助于集中注意力的观点。研究人员发现，接受调查的大学生大多喜欢在安静的环境中学习。那些听音乐的人更喜欢器乐，他们说有歌词会让人distracting)”可知，有歌词的音乐不利于集中注意力，会让人分心。故划线词distracting与A项“disturbing(打扰；干扰)”意思相近。11．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Theparticipantsgenerallydidbetterwhentheywereworkinginsilence.(参与者在安静环境下工作时通常表现得更好)”和第四段中“So,evenifyou’relisteningtomusicyoulike,it’llstillinterferewithyourwork.(因此，即使你在听自己喜欢的音乐，它仍然会干扰你的工作)”表明威尔士大学的研究发现背景音乐(无论喜欢与否)会干扰记忆表现；第五段中“ThisconceptwasinventedbyFrenchscientistDr.AlfredA.Tomatisin1991.Tomatispublishedabook,WhyMozart?,whichdescribedwhathebelievedwerethehealingpowersoflisteningtoMozart’smusic.(这个概念是由法国科学家阿尔弗雷德·A·托马提斯博士于1991年发明的。Tomatis出版了一本书《为什么是莫扎特？》，书中描述了他相信听莫扎特的音乐有治愈的力量)”和第六段中“Laterstudiesindicateditmightenhancechildren’sspatialintelligence,leadingtoawidespreadbeliefthatclassicalmusiccouldboostachild’sIQ.(后来的研究表明它可能提高儿童的空间智力，导致人们普遍认为古典音乐能提升孩子的智商)”表明“莫扎特效应”则认为特定的古典音乐可能有益于儿童大脑发育；第七段中“Thoselisteningtomusicpreferredinstrumentalsongs,sayingthatlyricsaredistracting.(那些听音乐的学生更喜欢器乐，他们说歌词会分散注意力)”表明另一项研究则显示多数学生实际上偏好安静的学习环境。这些关于背景音乐的发现彼此之间并不一致，甚至存在矛盾，因此，作者暗示了背景音乐的影响在不同的研究中是不一致的。12．C13．B14．C15．B【导语】本文主要讲的是内置人工智能聊天机器人的玩具对儿童语言发展的影响。12．细节理解题。根据第二段“Infact,ifallowedtoreplaceconversationswithcaregivers,thesetoysmayimpede(阻碍)children’slanguagelearning.(实际上，如果这些玩具被允许取代与照顾者的交流，它们可能会阻碍儿童的语言学习)”可知，作者对人工智能玩具的主要担忧是它们可能会取代父母与孩子的交流。13．细节理解题。根据第二段“Butthesevocabularywordsarenotlearnedbecausetheywerespokenoutofcontext,ascurrentAI-infusedtoysdo,butfromcaregiverswhomakethewordscomealive.(但这些词汇并非是通过脱离语境的对话方式习得的，就像当前那些搭载人工智能的玩具那样，而是由照顾者将这些词汇赋予鲜活的生命力)”可知，孩子们学习词汇的最佳方式是通过与照顾者进行有意义的交流。14．细节理解题。根据第三段“Achatbotislessabletoteachchildrenabouttheirenvironmentsbecauseitcannotseeanddescribeatoythechildisholding.(而聊天机器人则较难向孩子传授其所处环境的相关知识，因为它无法看到并描述孩子手中拿着的玩具)”可知，人工智能聊天机器人玩具不太可能促进孩子的语言学习是因为它们无法在有意义的语境中教授单词。15．推理判断题。根据最后一段“However,weneedmore
