本文是•篇说明文。文章介绍了美国西肯塔基大学的AlexPoole教授对于英语学习者应该如何对待

自己用英语进行交流和写作时所犯的错误提出了自己的看法，并推荐了Poole教授的新书。

1.

细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后两句""Thegocilistobeabletocommunicateinpractical

misunderstanding,，zPoolesaid.（Poole说：“我们的目标是能够以实际的方式进行交流。如果

你犯了一个错误，只有当它引起误解时你才应该担心。”）"可知，英语学习者在所犯错误导致交

流中断时才需要担忧。故选D,

2.

细节理解题。根据文章第三段第三句"WhenEnglishlearnerswritesomething,insteadof

grammars,theyshouldthinkaboutthebigpictureofwhattheyarewritingabout.（当英

英语学习者写作时，他们应该首先考虑主要思想。故选B。

3.

和写作时所犯的错误的看法，且最后一段"YoucanreadmoreabouterrorsinPoole'snewbook

sizeofacoin.Butdon*tletitssizefoolyou.Thetinychiphasover3,000electrodes

（电极）attachedtoflexiblethreads,whichcanmonitorabout1,000neurons（神经元）.

这个芯片是由马斯克的Neuralink公司开发的，只有硬币大小。但别让它的尺寸愚弄了你。据MSN

称，这种微型芯片有3000多个电极连接在柔性线上，可以监测大约1（）00个神经元”可知，这种芯

片虽然小但是功能强大。结合选项可知C项符合题意，故选C项。

5.

词义猜测题。由划线词的前一句"Itcollectsneuralsignalsfromanareaofthebrain,and

thentransmitsthosesignalswirelesslytonearbycomputers它从大脑的某个区域收集神经

brain.格特鲁德大脑芯片的操作。”符合题意。故选A项。

6.

细节理解题。题干中的themajortargetw与文章中的"itsmaingoalv意义相同,可以快速在

attheUniversityofScienceandTechnologyofChina,toldChinaDaily.”有许多技术挑战...

中国科技大学副教授袁兰峰在接受《中国日报》采访时说：“我们要克服这个问题，才能使Neuralink

的设备达到预期目的。”由此可知，袁兰峰认为这个技术很有“挑战性”。故选D项。

8.

细节理解题。根据文章第一段"Buttodaysciencethemesdominatetheseotherstyles.It's

difficulttothinkofmuchmoderncrime,horroror“serious“fictionthatdoesn*tinvolve

science.（但今天，科学主题主导了其他风格。很难想象有多少现代犯罪、恐怖或“严肃”小说不涉

及科学。）”可知，现代小说受到了科幻小说的影响。故选C。

9.

细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Althoughsomeexpertshaveclaimedtobeabletotracesci-fi

effectsnotonlyonpeople,sreallives,butontheirimaginativeones.（所有这些变化不

仅对人们的现实生活产生了巨大影响，而且对他们想象中的生活也产生了巨大影响。）”可知，工业

革命带来的变化导致科幻小说出现在19世纪。故选及

10.

细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Butsci-fictionreflectedfearsaboutsciencemorethanitdid

TheWaroftheworlds（1897）.Withgreatskill,Wellsplayeduponthefearsoftechnology

映的更多的是对科学的恐惧，而不是希望。这此典型的早期科幻小说可能是一部英国小说，如H.G.

Wells的《世界大战》（1897）。Wells以高超的技巧，通过想象地球受到来自火星的人类文明的威胁,

演绎了人们对科技的恐惧。）”可知，早期的科幻小说向人们传达了一种想象中的担心和恐惧气氛。

故选Do

11.

推理判断题。根据文章第六段“Thesciencefictionoftodayexpressestheimpactofthe

说表达了计算机革命、机器人和我们面临的环境挑战的影响，而对“来自火星的小绿人”和过去科

【分析】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述Devers发现女性文学作品没有得到和男性作品同等的待遇，决定为

女性作品做些事情。

12.主旨大意题。由第一段中的"Irealizedwedon'tvaluewomen*sworkthesamewaywedo

men's,"Deverssays."It'sdepressing.Butit'salsoexciting,becauseIcando

somethingaboutit.”可知，“我意识到,我们并不像重视男性工作那样重视女性的工作，"Devers

说。“这是令人沮丧的。但这也很令人兴奋，因为我可以为此做些什么。”由此可见，第一段告诉

读者是什么驱使Devers开设了theSecondShelf。故选C。

13.词句猜测题。分析本句可知，"hathasallowedwomcn，sliteraryachievementstobo

eclipsed.”在句子作定语，对名词ahistoricalimbalance进行修饰说明，ahistoricalimbalance

表示的是历史的不平衡，由此可测，这种不平衡引起女性文学成就遭到不好的待遇，eclipsed应该

表达的是一种不好的语境，结合选项，选项B,表示的是有偏见地被隐藏，符合语境。故选B。

14.细节理解题。由第四段的第二句Bookdealershavetendedtobemen;muchofthetrade's

earlymaterialwascollectedby^countrygentlemenwhoranestatesa
