答案解析部分【答案】1．B2．D3．B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了内罗毕国家公园半日游的相关信息，包括行程概览、包含内容、附加信息、取消政策以及预订方式等。

【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．推理判断题。根据What'sIncluded部分中"FreeWi-Fi"免费Wi-Fi，可知，该旅游提供免费Wi-Fi接入。故选B。2．细节理解题。根据What'sIncluded部分中的"Hotelpickupanddrop-off×Nationalparkentryticketpayableatthegate"酒店接送×国家公园门票在门口支付。可知，公园入园票需要额外交钱。故选D。3．推理判断题。根据Overview部分中"Seefree-rangingwildlifewiththebackdropoftheNairobiskylineonahalf-daytourtoNairobiNationalPark,aconvenientwaytoexperienceaKenyasafari(观兽旅行)evenifyouhavelimitedtime."在内罗毕国家公园的半日游中，你可以在内罗毕天际线的背景下看到自由放养的野生动物，这是一种体验肯尼亚野生动物园的便捷方式，即使你的时间有限；以及通读全文可知，本文介绍了内罗毕国家公园半天游的详细信息，包括包含的服务、额外信息、取消政策等，可推知，这篇文章的主要目的是为了推广这项旅游项目。故选B。【答案】4．B5．C6．A7．C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了塞尔维亚人ZeljkoIlicic建立该国唯一马匹庇护所的经历，他收留了年老、受虐或无人照顾的马匹，庇护所还救助其他动物，目前依靠捐赠运营，虽未获官方正式注册，但他坚信终将得到国家认可。

【点评】考查阅读理解，本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查，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。根据第二段"Ilicichastakeninoldandabusedhorses.Buthealsotakesthosethathadlivedwellbutcouldnolongerbelookedafterbycaretakers.AnimalcareisanongoingdifficultyinSerbia.Whileofficialsrunsheltersfordogs,therearenostate-supportedplacesforhorses."Ilicic收留了年老和受虐的马。但他也收留了那些生活得很好，但不能再由管理员照顾的马。在塞尔维亚，动物护理一直是个难题。虽然官员们为狗设立了收容所，但没有国家支持的地方来安置马。可知，Ilicic建立马庇护所是为了给年老和受虐的马提供庇护所。故选B。5．细节理解题。根据第四段"Heremembersatimein2020whenofficialsstoppedatruckfilledwithover20illegallytransportedhorses.Thehorseswereontheirwaytobekilled.Theywereallinbadconditionbutthatthesanctuaryfoundnewhomesformostofthem.Threeofthehorsesremainedundertheircare"他记得2020年有一次，官员们拦下了一辆装载着20多匹非法运输的马的卡车。这些马正要被杀死。它们的情况都很糟糕，但庇护所为它们中的大多数找到了新家。其中三匹马仍在他们的照料之下。可知，2020年从卡车上获救的马匹中，大部分被庇护所安置了新家，部分留在此处照料。故选C。6．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文围绕塞尔维亚唯一的马匹庇护所，讲述了创始人Ilicic拯救老马、受虐马及被遗弃马匹的经历，同时指出塞尔维亚缺乏官方支持的马匹庇护所，动物保护面临挑战。尽管庇护所依赖捐赠且未获官方认证，但Ilicic坚持通过实际行动推动动物保护。文章通过具体案例（如拯救非法运输马匹、为动物找新家等），强调了在塞尔维亚重视动物权利的必要性。故选A。7．推理判断题。根据第一段"SerbianZeljkoIlicicsavedhisfirsthorsefromdeath12yearsagoandfoundhiscalling.Ilicicisnow43.HesetuptheBalkancountry'sonlyhorsesanctuary(庇护所)in2015."12年前，塞尔维亚人ZeljkoIlicic从死亡线上救下了他的第一匹马，并找到了自己的使命。Ilicic现年43岁。2015年，他建立了巴尔干国家唯一的马庇护所；以及最后一段中的"WearetheonlyonesintheBalkansatthemomentandweholdthefirmbeliefthat,intime,wewillberecognizedbythestate."目前，我们是巴尔干地区唯一的一个，我们坚信，随着时间的推移，我们会得到国家的认可。可知，Ilicic十二年如一日救助马匹，即便面临资金短缺和官方认证缺失仍坚持运营庇护所，体现Ilicic意志坚定，并富有爱心。故选C。【答案】8．A9．B10．B11．D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，解释了公历中二月天数最少的原因，即源于古罗马历法改革：罗马国王努马为避免偶数日带来的不吉利，在调整原有10个月历法时，通过将部分月份天数减至奇数，最终将祭祀亡灵的二月定为28天的"不吉利月份"，这一传统延续至今。

【点评】考查阅读理解，本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇科普类阅读，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．词义猜测题。根据第一段中的"EachmonthinthemodernGregoriancalendarconsistsofatleast28days.Thatnumberwouldbeanicelyrounded30wereitnotforFebruary.Whileeverymonthbesidesthesecondinthecalendarcontainsatleast30days,butFebruaryfallsshortwith28(and29onaleapyear).Sowhyisthemostwidelyusedcalendarintheworldsodiscrepantinthelengthsofitsmonths?"在现代公历中，每个月至少有28天。如果不是因为二月，这个数字将会是一个很好的整数30。虽然除了二月份，日历上的每个月都至少有30天，但二月份只有28天（闰年有29天）。那么，为何世界上使用最广泛的日历在月份天数上如此discrepant呢？可知，世界上使用最广泛的日历中，每个月的天数都不一样，即日历中每个月的长度是不同的，所以画线词discrepant意思是"不同的"。故选A。9．细节理解题。根据第二段中的"However,Numawantedtoavoidhavingevennumbersinhiscalendar,asRomansuperstitionatthetimeheldthatevennumberswereunlucky.Hesubtracted(减去)adayfromeachofthe30-daymonthstomakethem29."然而，Numa希望在他的日历中避免出现偶数，因为当时的罗马迷信认为偶数是不吉利的。他从每个月30天中减去一天，使它们变成29天。可知，Numa决定缩短二月是为了避免在他的日历中出现偶数。故选B。10．推理判断题。根据第二段中的"Inordertofullysync(同步)thecalendarwiththelunaryear,theRomankingNumaPompiliusaddedJanuaryandFebruarytotheoriginal10months."为了使日历与农历年完全同步，罗马国王NumaPompilius在最初的10个月的基础上增加了一月和二月。可推知，Numa改变之前的罗马日历是基于农历周期的。故选B。11．推理判断题。根据第一段中的"Sowhyisthemostwidelyusedcalendarintheworldsodiscrepantinthelengthsofitsmonths?AndwhyisFebruarystuckwiththefewestnumberofdays?BlameitonRomansuperstition(迷信)."那么，为什么世界上使用最广泛的日历中，每个月的长度会有如此大的差异呢？为什么二月的天数最少？这要归咎于罗马人的迷信；再结合全文内容可知，本文解释了二月份的天数最少，是因为罗马人的迷信，要避免日历中出现偶数。可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是解释为什么二月通常只有28天。故选D。【答案】12．C13．B14．B15．B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍Cruise和Waymo两家公司在旧金山测试并获得自动驾驶出租车全面运营许可的情况，指出尽管这一进展是自动驾驶技术的重要一步，但目前自动驾驶出租车仍存在干扰应急车辆、引发事故等问题，尚未完全准备好应对现实世界，不过两家公司仍计划扩展服务至其他城市，而公众对其安全性的认可尚需时日。

【点评】考查阅读理解，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，是一篇科技类阅读，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．细节理解题。根据第二段中的"ButinearlyAugust,WaymoandCruiseweregivenfullpermissiontooperatetheirrobotaxisinSanFrancisco."但在8月初，Waymo和Cruise获得了在旧金山运营自动驾驶出租车的完全许可。可知，Cruise和Waymo在8月初开始全天候运营他们的自动驾驶出租车。故选C。13．细节理解题。根据第三段"Formanypeople,theproblemswiththeself-drivingtaxisdidn'tcomeasasurprise.ThechiefofSanFrancisco'sfiredepartmentsaysthatsinceMayof2022,therehavebeenover60caseswhererobotaxisinterferedwithfiretrucks.Robotaxishavealsoblockedcitybusesandotheremergencyvehicles.ACruisecarcrashedintoafiretruck,sendingapersontothehospital.Later,aCruisecarstoppedworkinginthemiddleofanintersection(十字路口),causingatrafficjam.Asaresult,CaliforniatoldCruisetotakehalfofitsrobotaxisofftheroads."对于许多人来说，自动驾驶出租车出现的问题并不令人意外。旧金山消防局的负责人表示，自2022年5月以来，已有超过60起案例表明自动驾驶出租车干扰了消防车。自动驾驶出租车还曾阻塞了城市公交车道和其他应急车辆的通行。一辆克鲁斯汽车撞上了消防车，导致一人受伤入院。随后，一辆克鲁斯汽车在十字路口中途停止运行，造成了交通堵塞。因此，加利福尼亚州要求克鲁斯公司将一半的自动驾驶出租车从道路上撤下。可知，作者在第三段中引用这些事件旨在强调无人驾驶汽车存在的实际问题。故选B。14．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的"Manypeoplebelievethatself-drivingcarsjustaren'treadyyetfortherealworld."许多人认为自动驾驶汽车目前还不足以应用于实际场景。可知，许多人认为自动驾驶出租车尚未准备好进入现实世界。故选B。15．标题归纳题。根据第一段"CruiseandWaymoaretwocompaniesthathavebeendevelopingself-drivingtaxis,sometimescalled‘robotaxis(robot+taxi)'.BothcompanieshavebeentestingtheircarsinSanFranciscoforyears."Cruise和Waymo是两家致力于研发自动驾驶出租车的公司，这类车辆有时被称为"机器人出租车（机器人+出租车）"。这两家公司多年来一直在旧金山进行车辆测试；第三段中的"Formanypeople,theproblemswiththeself-drivingtaxisdidn'tcomeasasurprise."对很多人来说，自动驾驶出租车的问题并不令人意外；以及倒数第二段中的"Manypeoplebelievethatself-drivingcarsjustaren'treadyyetfortherealworld."许多人认为自动驾驶汽车目前还不足以应用于实际场景。可知，本文介绍了自动驾驶出租车在旧金山面临的挑战，包括安全问题和公众的担忧。"旧金山自动驾驶出租车面临的挑战"适合作本文标题。故选B。【答案】16．C；17．D；18．F；19．A；20．G【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，提供一些专家支持的助眠小窍门，帮助读者改善睡眠质量，包括建立一致的晨间习惯、夜间调整灯光氛围、睡前洗热水澡以及通过想象宁静场景来放松身心进入睡眠。

【点评】考查七选五，本文是一篇生活类阅读，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．根据空前"Losingoutonall-importantsleepinghourscanbefrustratingand
