马丘比丘附近的一场森林大火。32.D细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句可知,马丘比丘被认为是世界新七大奇迹之一。33.B细节理解题。根据文章第四段可知,偏远的地势增加了灭火的难度。34.A推理判断题。根据文章第三段可知,这场大火烧毁了约半个梵蒂冈城大小的区域,约有20公顷(49英亩)的土地受到火灾影响。由此推测,作者是用数字展示了火灾的严重性。35.C推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章主要讲述的是2022年6月28日开始的马丘比丘附近的一场森林大火的现状,故文章最可能是一篇新闻报道,摘自一份周报。【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了保持注意力的方法,同时也指出分散注意力也有优点,即有利于注意周遭环境变化,这对生存而言很重要。36.C上文“Wereyouevertoldtostopdaydreamingandconcentrateatschool?(在学校的时候,有没有人叫你别做白日梦,专心学习呢?)”设问,C项“这可能发生在任何感到无聊的年轻学习者身上。”是对上文的回答。选项中的“It”指代上文提到的“toldtostopdaydreamingandconcent
