【答案】

A

1.DPalmer认为我们在几乎所有事物中看到面孔是因为“这是祖先保护自己的一种方式”，帮助他们

快速发现危险动物。

2.CLee认为我们能在这些“面孔”上看到表情是为了"区分朋友和敌人“，这是人类作为社会性动物

的生存需要。

3.BLcc的实验表明，当我们把某物误认为面孔时，是"大脑告诉眼睛去看到它”，这是一种“自上而

下”的认知模式。

4.C这篇文章讨论的是人类视觉认知的科学原理，最可能出现在杂志或报纸的“科学"版块。

B

I.解析：B。文章主要解释了电影中涉及的古代食品保鲜和运输的科学挑战，而非讨论演员、导演

前作或单纯对比古今运输。

2.解析：B”根据上下文，41easilyspoiledM指荔枝容易变质，与"quicklygoingbad”意思一致.

3.第二段明确提到，荔枝接触空气和温暖环境(exposuretoairandwarmih)会导致其快速变质。

4.解析：Co选项C是对电影价值的主观评价(opinion)，而A、B、D都是客观事实(faci)。

5.解析：B。最后一段指出，导演成功地将历史故事与科学主题结合(mixeshistoricalstorywilhhidden

sciencethemes),故可推断他的意图是B选项。

C

I.推埋判断题。这一题答案在文章中不是很明显，可用排除法；排除选项ABC,选D因为对他们的

未来生活有好处，故选D。

2.细节理解题。根据"Tohersurprise,shegotmanydifferentgiftsonChineseTeachers，Day.Itwasherfirst

timetohavesuchaninterestingexperienceinthecountry.”令她惊讶的是，她在中国教师节收到了许多不

同的礼物，所以是惊讶，故选B。

3.细节理解题。根据“AsTanyaoftenputspicturesofherlifeontheInternet,"Tanya经常把她的生活照片

放在网上，故选A。

4.推理判断题。根据“bridge”桥不是字面上的造桥的意思，而是“合作”的意思，所以排除选项B；

选项A越来越多的人将会参观中国，答非所问；选项C中Tanya为中美关系的发展做了重大贡献，

太夸张了。根据关键词为“cooperation”合作，所以是中国和俄罗斯在许多不同的领域都需要合作。故

选D。

5.最佳标题。根据“Withthedevelopment（发展）ofChina-Russiarelations…''可知是中俄关系的发展，

所以是RelationshipbetweenChinaandRussia（中俄关系）最符合题意,故选D。

D

【导语】本文主要报道了首届中国新疆民间艺术节的盛况。

1.句意：第一个中国新疆民间艺术节于2024年8月20日在乌鲁木齐启动，这是一个令人惊叹的文

化活动。根据**whichwasan...culturalevent.及备选词可知，新疆民间艺术节是一个令人惊叹的文化

活动。amazing”令人惊叹的”符合句意，修饰名词event。故填amazing。

2.句意:它是展示新疆丰富民间艺术遗产的平台。根据“iherichfolkartheritage（遗产）ofXinjiang.”

及备选词可知，空处指“展示"，show“展示”符合句意，句中to为动词不定式符号，故空处需动

词原形。故填show。

3.句意：艺术节期间，来自新疆不同地区的53个团队和超过1700名的民间艺术家齐聚。根据"differem

partsofXinjiang及备选词可知，空处指”来
