【1题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段uTomorrowwasChristmas,andshehadonly$1.87tobuyherhusbandJimapresent.

Shehadbeensavingeverypennyshecouldformonths,skippingsmalljoysandpinchingpennieswherever

possible,butitwasstillfarfromencugh.（明天就是圣诞节j',可她只有1.87美元给丈夫吉姆买礼物。好几个

月来，她尽可能地省下每一分钱，舍弃了那些小小的乐趣，处处精打细算，可这笔钱还是远远不够。）”可

知，她想给丈夫吉姆买礼物却钱远远不够，因此难过沮丧。故选B。

【2题详解】

词句猜测题。根据第三段“Shepulleddownherlongbrownhair,lettingitfalltoherkneeslikeacascadeof

brownwaters.（她放下一头棕色的长发，发丝垂落到膝盖，宛如一帘褐色的水流。）”可知，句中将

长发比作“棕色水流的cascadeM,waters（水流）对应waterfall（瀑布），因此cascade意为“瀑布”。故

选A。

【3题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段“Shewantedtobuyhimsomethingfineandrare,somethingtrulyworthyofbeing

ownedbyJim.themanshelovedmorethananything.（她想给他买•件精美又别致的礼物，•件配得上吉姆的

礼物----那个她爱得胜过一切的男人。）”和第三段"Shepulleddownherlongbrownhair,lettingitfallto

herkneeslikeacascadeofbrownwaters.Thenshegrabbedhercoalandhurriedouttosellherhairfor$20.（她放

下那头棕色的长发，发丝垂落到膝盖，宛如一帘褐色的水瀑。随后她抓起外套，匆匆出门，把头发卖掉，

换来了二十美元。）”可知，德拉为了给丈夫买礼物，卖掉自己最珍贵的长发，体现出她体贴、深情且为爱

付出，由此可知，她是体贴且富有奉献精神的。故选C。

拿一个扔的东西'。新玩具游戏测试了狗是否根据它们与玩具的玩耍方式应用了标签。这些狗大多数时候

都能正确地挑选新玩具。）”可知，新玩具游戏主要是为了测试狗是否能够将学到的游戏类别应用到新玩具

上。故选B。

【13题详解】

第8页/共18页

细节理解题。根据第四段“Previousanimalstudiesthatcategorizedthingsbytheirusereliedonlabsettingsand

验室环境和正式训练。Fugazza说：“这是第一次在动物的自然环境中探索这种认知技能，同时确保狗只得

到社交线索”。）”可知，新研究与早期研究的不同之处在于它避免了非自然环境。故选D。

【14题详解】

推理判断题。根据第四段“Previousanimalstudiesthatcategorizedthingsbytheirusereliedonlabsettingsand

fbnnaltraining.''Thisisthefirststudyexploringthiscognitiveskillinanimalsintheirnaturalenvironmentwhile

makingsurethedogsgotonlysocialcues（提示）Fugazzasays.（此前按用途对物品进行分类的动物研究,大多

依赖实验室环境和标准化训练。Fugazza说：”这是首次在自然生活环境中研究动物的这种认知能力，同时

确保狗狗只接收到社交层面的提示。“）”和最后一段“Fugazzasaysthenewstudydoesn'tshowthatalldogs

havethisfunctional-labelingskill.“But,"sheadds,“Iwouldn'texcludethat.”（Fugazza表示，这项新研究并不能

证明所有狗狗都具备这种功能分类能力。“但，”她补充道，“我也不排除这种可能性。可知，作者全

程没有一句自己的主观评价，所有观点全部都是引用研究员Fugazza的话，Fugazza指出了实脸的局限性，

但也说明新研究或许可以证明狗狗也许具备这种功能分类能力。因此，作者对这项研究的态度是客观的。

故选B。

【15题详解】

推理判断题。根据判后一段wNext,researchersmaywanttoexplorewhatothermentalcategoriesthesedogscan

【答案】16.E17.F18.C19.G20.D

【解析】

【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了大学经历以及文科教育的重要性。

【16题详解】

上文“Itcanbeachancetogrowandopenourmindsinbothstudyandsociallife,oritcanmeanstudentswork

hardonlytogetadegree.（它既可以是我们在学业和社交生活中成长、开阔眼界的机会，也可以仅仅意味着

学生埋头苦读只为拿到一张文凭。）”出现两种选择，大学要么是成长开阔眼界的机会，要么只为拿文凭，

下文“Becausewhatsetsstudentsapartinthejobmarketisnottheirgrades,butthesoftskillsachievedthrougha

liberalarts（文科）education.（因为在职场中让学生脱颖而出的并非成绩，而是通过文科教育培养出的软技能。

）”强调文科教育带来的软实力才是求职关键"E项“Iwouldargueallstudentsshouldworkforthefirstoption.

（我认为所有学生都应选择第一种＜）”直接承接上文两种选择，明确作者立场，与下文支持全面发展的观点

逻辑连贯。故选E。

【17题详解】

上文“However,thisholistic（整体的）viewofeducationismeetingitsdeathwithfirst-timeadmissionratesat

liberalartscollegesdecreasingby0.6%everyyearsince2013.（然而，这种全面的教育理念正逐渐消亡----自

2013年以来，文理学院的首次录取率每年下降0.6%。）”指出文科教育不受重视的趋势。F项“Thistrend

实力，更看重成绩。）"中Thistrend精准指代前文录取率下降的现象，同时呼应第一段强调的软实力重要

性，形成对比。故选F。

【18题详解】

上文44Itaimstointegratecriticalthinkingandproblem-solvingskillsfromeverysubject/文科教育旨在融合各

个学科的批判性思维与解决问题的能力。）”说明文科教育整合各学科的批判性思维与解决问题能力。C项

“Thishelpsstudentsseeallmajorsorsubjectsinacomprehensiveway.（这帮助学生全面看待所有专业。）“中

This指代文科整合多学科能力的特点，comprehensiveway与下文对比STEM专业狭隘聚焦单一学科形成

呼应。故选C。

【19题详解】

下文Instead,theysimplyrequirestudentstolakeacertainnumberofcoursesin（henameofbecoming

“well-rounded.”Yetthistermremainstooabstractforstudentstograsp.（相反，这些学校只是以培养“全面发展

的人才”为名，要求学生修满一定数量的课程。然而，这个说法对学生来说太过抽象，难以真正理解。）”

讲的是高校对文科教育的不当做法。G项“Sadly,universitiesfailtoexplainwhatliberalartseducationreally

aimsfor.（遗憾的是，大学没能解释文科教育的真正目标。）”引巴下文学校的敷衍做法。故选G。

【20题详解】

上文"Thegoalofaliberalartseducationistoexposestudentstonewviewpoints.（文科教育的目标是让学生接

触新的观点。）”指出目标是让学生接触新观点，下文"Byencouragingstudentstothinkbeyondarightor

wronganswer,（heycanbetterunderstandboththeworldandourplaceinit.（通过鼓励学生跳出非对即错的思维

定式，他们能更好地理解世界以及自身在世界中的位置。）”指出跳出非对即错的思维。D项“Thus.（heycan

constantlychallengetheirpreviousviews.（因此他们能不断挑战以往的观点。）“承接“接触新观点”带来的结

果，challengepreviousviews与下文跳出固定答案、辩证看待世界的内容完全契合。故选D。
