心在于兼顾双方的偏好，即注重双向偏好匹配。故选C项。【14题详析】细节理解题。根据第四段“Someorganizationswerereceivinganoverwhelmingnumberofsign-ups,sometimesevenmorethantheyneeded,whileothersstruggledtoattractanyvolunteersatall.Byadjustingthesearchalgorithmtoconsiderthenumberofvolunteersanorganizationneedsandhasalreadyreceived,Sabanandherteamwereabletoensureamorereasonabledistributionofvolunteersacrossopportunities.(一些机构收到的报名人数多得难以应对，有时甚至超出了实际需求，而另一些机构却根本难以吸引到任何志愿者。Saban及其团队通过调整搜索算法，将机构所需志愿者数量与已招募到的志愿者数量纳入考量，从而得以确保志愿者能在各类志愿机会间实现更合理的分配)”可知，Saban调整VolunteerMatch算法的依据是平衡志愿者的供需关系，即机构的需求与已有的志愿者供给。故选D项。【15题详析】主旨大意题。根据第一段“Whetheryou’relookingforajob,ahouse,oraromanticpartner,there’sanappforthat.(无论你是在找工作、找房子，还是寻找人生伴侣，都有对应的应用程序可用)”并结合全文内容可知，文章开篇指出人们依赖数字平台寻找机会，进而引出Saban关于算法在“匹配市场”中作用的研究；随后通过在线约会平台（提升双向匹配成功率）和志愿者匹配平台（平衡志愿者供需）两个具体案例，说明合理设计的算法能优化匹配效果；最后总结“如果我们希望算法发挥积极作用，就需要在设计时做出有意识的选择”，全文核心围绕C选项“设计算法以实现更好的匹配”展开，适合作为标题。故选C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可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Gardeningseasonisinfullbloom,butkeepingtrackofwhichseedling(幼苗)iswhichcanbereallytricky.EnterDIYoven-bakeclaygardenmarkers—theselittlelifesaversaren’tjustpractical;theyalsoaddaspecialcharmtoyourgreenery.Tokickoffyourgardenmarkerproject,you’llneedtogethands-onwithsomeoven-bakeclay.Startbykneading(揉捏)apieceofclayinyourhandsforafewminutes—thinkofitasaminiworkoutforyourfingers.____16____Then,placeitonthebakingsheetandrollitoutevenlytoabout1/4inchthick.____17____Youmightgoforaclassicstraightmarkerwithapointedendtostickdirectlyintothesoil,orperhapsyou’refeelingabitmoreadventurousandwanttocreatearoundorheartshapewithaholetohangfromametalpost.Thengiveyourgardenmarkerssomepersonality!Grabyourfavoriterubberstampsandpressthemfirmlyintotheclaytomakeanimpression.Youcanstampthenamesofyourplants,like“basil”or“tomatoes”,tokeepthingsorganized.____18____Nowthatyourgardenmarkersarelookinggreat,it’stimetosettheminstone.Followtheinstructionsontheclaypackageforbaking.Generally,bakethemarkersatalowtemperature(around275°F)forabout15minutesper1/4inchofthickness.____19____Then,they’llbereadytogiveyourgardenastylishlook!Finally,decideonthefinishingtouches.____20____Ifyou’refeelingfancy,acoatofpaintcanbeappliedforalong-lastingfinishandshine.Whetheryou’rechannelingyourinnerPicassowithbrightcolorsorleavingthemintheirnaturalstatetoprovideanearthyfeel,whichisequallycharming,thechoiceisallyours.A.Remembertokeepaneyeonit.B.Allowthemtocoolcompletelyafterward.C.Addsomefunandcreativitytoyourgarden.D.Thissoftenstheclayandmakesitmoreworkable.E.Nowcomesthefunpart:shapingyourgardenmarkers!F.Youmaysmoothroughedgeswithsandpaperforapolishedlook.G.It’salsoagoodideatogowildwithfunphraseslike“potatowonderland”.【答案】16.D17.E18.G19.B20.F【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何制作DIY烤箱烤粘土花园标记物，为花园增添魅力。【16题详析】上文“Startbykneadingapieceofclayinyourhandsforafewminutes—thinkofitasaminiworkoutforyourfingers.(首先用手揉捏一块黏土几分钟——把它当作一次手指小锻炼)”讲述揉捏黏土的动作，D选项“Thissoftenstheclayandmakesitmoreworkable.(这会软化黏土，使其更易于塑形)”中This指代上文的动作，解释了揉捏的作用，承接上文，符合语境。故选D。【17题详析】下文“Youmightgoforaclassicstraightmarkerwithapointedendtostickdirectlyintothesoil,orperhapsyou’refeelingabitmoreadventurousandwanttocreatearoundorheartshapewithaholetohangfromametalpost.(你可以选择经典的直形标记牌，一端尖尖的直接插进土里，或者你更有创意，想做成圆形或心形，打个孔挂在金属柱上)”介绍了给标记牌塑形的多种方式，E选项“Nowcomesthefunpart:shapingyourgardenmarkers!(现在有趣的部分来了：给你的花园标记牌塑形！)”引出塑形这一环节，总领下文，符合语境。故选E。【18题详析】上文“Youcanstampthenamesofyourplants,like“basil”or“tomatoes”,tokeepthingsorganized.(你可以印上植物的名字，比如“罗勒”或“番茄”，让一切井井有条)”介绍在黏土上印植物名，G选项“It’salsoagoodideatogowildwithfunphraseslike“potatowonderland”.(尽情使用一些有趣的短语，比如“土豆乐园”，也是个好主意)”补充了其他有趣的刻印内容，与上文并列，符合语境。故选G。【19题详析】上文“Generally,bakethemarkersatalowtemperature(around275°F)forabout15minutesper1/4inchofthickness.(一般来说，低温烘烤标记牌，约275华氏度，厚度每1/4英寸烘烤15分钟)”讲述烘烤步骤，下文“Then,they’llbereadytogiveyourgardenastylishlook!(然后它们就可以为你的花园增添时尚感了)”说明完成状态，B选项“Allowthemtocoolcompletelyafterward.(之后让它们完全冷却)”承接烘烤后的步骤，符合语境。故选B。【20题详析】上文“Finally,decideonthefinishingtouches.(最后，进行收尾装饰)”引出收尾步骤，下文“Ifyou’refeelingfancy,acoatofpaintcanbeappliedforalong-lastingfinishandshine.(如果你想更精致，可以涂一层漆，让它更耐用有光泽)”介绍一种装饰方法，F选项“Youmaysmoothroughedgeswithsandpaperforapolishedlook.(你可以用砂纸打磨粗糙的边缘，让外观更精致)”介绍另一种收尾处理方式，符合语境。故选F。第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Ihavebecomeanemptynester(空巢者)sincemyboystarteduniversity.Whenhecamehomeafterhisfirstyear,wefacedhugelate-nightkitchenchaosandhis____21____ourpreviouslyorderlyhome.Honestly,itcausedmuchmoreannoyancethanIcaredtoadmit.Thatsummerwas____22____.Therefore,afterhisthirdyear,mysonandIhadatrulyinsightfulconversation.IaskedhisadviceonhowIcouldhandlehissuchbehaviors.Hisresponsewassurprisingly____23____.Hejustsaidthattherewasnosecretplantodrivemecrazy.Hewasmerelybeinga____24____unawareteenager.Helikelyhadn’t____25____halfthetimesI’daskedhimtocleanup.Eachtimethetaskwentundone,IgrewangrieruntilIwas____26____.Butheoftengenuinely____27____whyIwassomad.Thatconversationwasa____28____.ItseemedasifI’dbeen____29____alookbehindthecurtaintounderstandwhatwasgoingon.IthoughtabouthowIcould____30_
