【答案】21.A22.D23.C

【解析】

本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍的是世界上四次自然灾难的相关情况。

【21题详解】

细节理解题。根据YangtzeRiverFlood部分中的aGovernmentorganizations,includingtheNational

OceanicandAtmosphericAdministration,estimated（估计）thatabout3.7millionpeoplediedinthis

disaster.（包括国家海洋和大气管理局在内的政府机构估计，约有370万人在这场灾难中丧

生。）”可知，在这次灾难中约有370万人丧生；根据TyphoonNina部分中的“Accordingto

reports,atleast26,000peoplediedinthefloods.About145,000peoplediedfromdiseasescausedby

waterpollutionandfamine（饥荒）.（据报道，至少有26000人死于洪水。大约145,000人死于水污

染和饥荒引起的疾病。）”可知，这次洪水造成26,000人死亡，因水污染和饥荒造成死亡人数达

至lj145,000人；根据KashmirEarthquake部分中的“InKashmiratleast79,000peoplewerekilled,

andmorethan32,000buildingsbrokedown.（在克什米尔,至少有7.9万人丧生,3.2万多栋建筑倒

塌。）”可知，在这次地震中丧生的人数有79,（）（X）人；根据HaitianEarthquake部分中的“There

hasbeendebateaboutthetotalnumberofdeathscausedbythisearthquake,butestimatessuggestthat

about200,000-300,000peopledied.（关于这次地震造成的死亡总人数一直存在争议，但估计约有20

万至30万人死亡。）”可知，在这次地震中丧生人数估计有20万至30万人，综上信息可知，在

以上四大自然灾难中，导致死亡人数最多的应是长江洪水，造成了370万人丧生。故选A项。

【22题详解】

细节理解题。根据KashmirEarthquake部分中的“Theseriousnessofthedamageandthehigh

numberofdeathswereworsenedbypoorconstruction（建筑）intheaffectedareas.（受灾地区糟糕的建

筑使得破坏的严重性和死亡人数更加恶化。）”可知，在受灾区域糟糕的建筑使得破坏的严重性

以及死亡人数更加恶化，由此可知，糟糕的建筑是使得克什米尔的情况更加糟糕。故选D项。

【23题详解】

细节理解题。根据HaitianEarthquake部分中的aTherehasbeendebateaboutthetotalnumberof

deathscausedbythisearthquake,butestimatessuggestthatabout200,000-300,000peopledied.（关于

这次地震造成的死亡总人数一直存在争议，但估计约有20万至30万人死亡。）”可知，发生在

海地的这次地震造成的死亡人数一直存在争议，所以，在这次地震中我们了解到的是死亡人数有

争议。故选C项。

然记得那个晚上，因为我是一人幸运的七岁男孩，因为我的父亲相信，对一个小男孩来说，新的

经历比一夜不间断的睡眠更重要。）”可知，前两段描述了作者回头看星星落下的夜晚。故选

Bo

【25题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段“OncemyfathergavemeZuleikaDobson,MaxBeerbohm'sclassicstory

ofundergraduatelifeatOxford.Ilikedit,andtoldhimso."Whydon'tyouthinkaboutgoingthere

thatthechildwasinterestedin,whogaveencouragementandpraiseforachievement,whomadeagame

ofsearchingouttheanswerstoquestions.（但在每一个案例中，至少有一位父母分享了核子感兴趣

moneyorhouse,butacapacity（能力）forwonderandgratitude（感激）,asenseofalivenessandjoy.（父

【例斤】

本文是一篇说明文。随着人工智能、自动驾驶汽车和火车的新进步，无人驾驶的交通方式也发展

到公共汽车领域。现在，一种全尺寸的自动驾驶巴士服务已经在苏格兰开始运行。

【28题详解】

细节理解题。由第二段中“Whilethebusesareautonomous,fullyself-drivingvehicles（交通工具）

arenotallowedintheUKnowsoadriverwillhavetobeonboardatalltimes.Thevehiclesarerequired

tohaveasafetydrivertomonitorthetechnologyandabuscaptainthatwillhelppassengersboardand

buytickets.（虽然巴士是自动驾驶的，但现在英国不允许使用全自动驾驶车辆，因此司机必须始

终在车上。这些车辆需要有一名安全驾驶员来监控这项技术，还有一名巴士队长来若助乘客上车

和买票）”可知，自动驾驶巴士上有两个固定的工作人员。故选C项。

【29题详解】

推理判断题c由第三段“Ittookalmost1（）yearsofresearchanddevelopmentand1.8million

kilometersofpracticerunstoreachthisstage,whichisconsideredthefirstfull-sizeduseofautonomous

busesinEurope.（经过近1（）年的研发和180万公里的实践运行，才达到这一阶段，这被认为是欧

洲首次全尺寸使用自动驾驶巴工）”和最后一段中“OthercountriesinEuropeareexploringusing

driverlessbuses.（欧洲其他国家正在探索使用自动驾驶巴士）”可知，在欧洲其他国家还在探索使

用自动驾驶巴士，英国的行动被认为是欧洲首次全尺寸使用自动驾驶巴士，可得出自动驾驶巴士

的使用在欧洲是开拓性的（Pioneering）。故选B项。

【30题详解】

词句猜测题。由倒数第二段中“Thegovernmenthopesthattheautonomousbuseswillbemore

dependable,andmoresecuretousethantraditionalbusessince88percentofroadaccidentsarecaused

bydrivers，errors.（政府希望自动驾驶巴士比传统公交车更可靠、使用moresecure,因为88%的

道路事故是由驾驶员的失误造成的）”可知，此处讲比起传统公交车，自动驾驶巴士的好处，提

及了自动驾驶巴士比传统公交主更可靠，结合“88%的道路事故是由驾驶员的失误造成的“，自

动驾驶巴士比传统公交车更安全，划线短语意为“更安全的（Safer）”。故选A项。

【31题详解】

推理判断题。由最后一段中“OlhercountriesinEuropeareexploringusingdriverlessbuses.There

havealreadybeenshorttestsinseveralcitiesinItaly,FinlandandFrance,andthereareplansfor

driverlesselectricminibuseslobeintroducedinSwitzerland,GermanyandNorway.（欧洲其他国家正

在探索使用无人驾驶公交车。意大利、芬兰和法国的几个城市已经进行了短期测试，瑞士、德国

和挪威也计划推出无人驾驶电动小巴）”可知，欧洲其他国家也正在探索使用无人驾驶公交车，

说明这些国家对无人驾驶公交主也很感兴趣。故选A项。

【例斤】

这是一篇说明文。主要说明了欧洲科学家发现，喜鹊和乌鸦正在使用一种不寻常的材料来筑巢一

一防鸟钉，这种材料的设计目的是防止鸟类靠近建筑物。这些鸟似乎把建筑物上的尖刺拿走，并

把它们加到自己的巢里。

【32题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段“MrHiemstrathinksthatinlargecities,it'shardtofindsuitablematerials

tomakenests,sobirdsbuildnestswithwhatevermalerialstheycanfind.（Hiemstra认为,在大城市,

很难找到合适的材料来筑巢，所以鸟类用它们能找到的任何材料来筑巢）”可知，根据Hiemstra

先生的说法，鸟类会使用不寻常的材料是因为它们很容易被找到。故选C。

【33题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段“Heneverexpectedspikescouldbeusedbymagpiestobuildtheirnests.（他

从未想到喜鹊会用防鸟钉筑巢）”可推知，看到这张照片时，Hiemstra感到惊讶。故选B。

【34题详解】

推理判断题。根据第四段"Magpiesandcrowsareknownforbeingclever.Thetwokindsofbirdsare

related,andarefamousfbrbeingabletosolvechallengingproblems.Butthebirdsdidn'tusethespikes

inexactlythesameways.Thecrowsusedthespikesontheinsideoftheirneststohelpmakethenests

鹊和乌鸦是出了名的聪明。这两种鸟类有亲缘关系，并以能够解决具有挑战性的问题而闻名。但

这些鸟使用防鸟钉的方式并不完全相同。乌鸦用它们巢穴内部的防鸟钉来帮助巢穴更坚固。喜鹊

不得不担心其他鸟类，包括乌鸦，偷走它们的蛋。它们似乎像人类一样使用防鸟钉一一把它们放

在巢穴的顶部，防止其他鸟类降落）”可推知，第4段的目的是告诉我们乌鸦和喜鹊使用防鸟钉

的方式不同。故选D。

【35题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段“MrHiemstrasaid,“WelearnedaboutseveralothernestsinEuropethat

alsousedanti-birdspikes.What'smore,thereareprobablymorenestsouttherethatarebuiltwithanti­

birdspikes.Theyjusthaven'tbeenfoundyet.^（Hiemstra先生说：“我们了解到欧洲的其他几个鸟巢

也使用了防鸟钉。更重要的是，可能有更多的巢穴是用防鸟钉建造的。只是还没有找到。

可推知，Hiemstra先生在最后一段的话表明了防鸟钉可以更广泛地用于筑巢。故选D。
