ippropellersspinsofastthattheycreatetinybubbles.(最严重的声音干扰源于螺旋桨空化——这是一个复杂的过程，船用螺旋桨旋转得很快，会产生微小的气泡。)”可知，这种声音干扰的主要来源是船舶螺旋桨。根据这两处信息，水下噪音污染的主要原因是船舶螺旋桨产生的噪音。故选C项。【33题详析】细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“Simultaneously,researchersattheDutchinstituteMARINhaveperfectedbubblecurtaintechnology—systemsthatgeneratestreamsofairbubblesaroundpropellersandshipbodiestosoftenbubblecollapseandabsorbsoundwaves.Testresultsdemonstratesubstantialnoisereductionacrossfrequenciesparticularlyimportanttomarinemammals.(同时，荷兰MARIN研究所的研究人员完善了气泡帘技术——这种系统在螺旋桨和船体周围产生气泡流，以减缓气泡破裂并吸收声波。测试结果表明，在对海洋哺乳动物特别重要的频率范围内，噪音显著降低。)”可知，气泡帘技术的工作原理是通过产生气泡流来吸收声波，从而达到降噪的效果。故选D项。【34题详析】细节理解题。根据最后一段前两句“Despitethesepromisingadvances,practicalimplementationfacessubstantialchallenges.Upgradingexistingshipsrequiressignificantinvestment,andshipownersneedstrongereconomicandregulatorysupport.(尽管取得了这些有前景的进展，但实际实施仍面临巨大挑战。升级现有船舶需要大量投资，船东需要更强的经济和监管支持。)”可知，这些新技术有前景，但实际应用面临挑战，主要是需要大量投资，成本高昂。故选B项。【35题详析】推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“Despitethesepromisingadvances,practicalimplementationfacessubstantialchallenges.(尽管取得了这些有前景的进展，但实际实施仍面临巨大挑战。)”可知，作者首先提到实际实施面临巨大挑战，这是谨慎的一面。又根据本段最后两句“Encouragingly,internationalenvironmentalstandardsaregraduallycreatingfavorableconditionsforadoptingthesetechnologies.Asresearchrefinesthesesolutions,themaritimeindustrymovesclosertoachievingsustainablecoexistencebetweenglobalcommerceandmarineecosystempreservation.(令人鼓舞的是，国际环境标准正在逐渐为采用这些技术创造有利条件。随着研究不断完善这些解决方案，航运业正朝着实现全球贸易与海洋生态系统保护可持续共存的目标迈进。)”可知，作者对其前景持乐观态度。综合来看，作者既看到了挑战，也看到了希望，态度是“谨慎但根本上乐观的”。故选A项。第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Goodgiftgivingisanart.Theperfectpresentcanliftamoodorimprovearelationship.Giftgivingaroundholidays,birthdays,graduationsorweddingsisagreatopportunitytoreinforcethoserelationships.Whatevertheoccasion,giftgivingisasocialpracticethatrequirescarefulthoughtandconsideration.____36____Thefollowingtipsmayhelpyoucraftasimpleguidetogifting.____37____Whenwereceivegiftsinabunch,wetendtounconsciouslyaverageouttheirvalue,soasmallgiftattachedtoabigonewillhurtthelatter’simpact.Giftexperiencesratherthanthings.Abrand-newiPhonebecomesoldfast.Butadreamvacationorseeingourfavoriteartistinconcertwillgiveusmemoriesthatlastforever.Thatiswhyweshouldconsideranexperienceoveraphysicalobject.____38____Thinklikethereceiver.____39____Thatmightseemobvious,butithappensfarlessthanwe’dlike.Peopletendtousegiftsasjokes,encouragementstochangeone’sways,ortosignalsomethingaboutthemselvesratherthanprovidingutilityorhappinesstothereceiver.Butifallelsefails,rememberthere’sareasonwhywesaythatit’sthethoughtthatcounts.Don’tforgetwhywearegivinggifts.____40____Instead,theyjustwantustothinkaboutthem,andthatcanbedoneinlotsofeasyways.A.Don’taddasmallgifttoabiggift.B.Soarethereasetofrulestofollow?C.Mostpeopledon’twantlotsofmoneyspentonthem.D.Toputitsimply,buythingsthatourreceiverwouldbuyforthemselves.E.Thevalueofagiftisoftendeterminedbyitsemotionalimpact,notitspricetag.F.Experiencesoftenhavemorethoughtgoneintothem,andtheycreatemorevividmemories.G.Moneyspentondoingprovidesmoreenduringhappinessthanmoneyspentonhaving.【答案】36.B37.A38.G39.D40.C【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕送礼这一社交行为展开，阐述了送礼的重要性、时机，并针对如何送出好礼物给出了一系列实用建议，强调送礼关键是传递心意。【36题详析】上文“Whatevertheoccasion,giftgivingisasocialpracticethatrequirescarefulthoughtandconsideration.(无论什么场合，送礼都是一种需要仔细思考和考量的社交行为。)”指出送礼需要认真思考，下文“Thefollowingtipsmayhelpyoucraftasimpleguidetogifting.(以下建议或许能帮助你制定一份简单的送礼指南。)”表明要给出送礼建议，B项“Soarethereasetofrulestofollow?(那么有一套规则可以遵循吗？)”承接上文的送礼物，并以提问的方式引出下文关于送礼规则或建议的内容，符合语境，故选B。【37题详析】下文“Whenwereceivegiftsinabunch,wetendtounconsciouslyaverageoutthei
