法斯特的旅游路线。【21题详解】细节理解题。根据CITYTOUR部分中“Ifyou’reshortontimebutstillwanttogetageneraloverviewofthecity,bookaprivateguidedtaxitouro

raguidedopentopbustour.It’sthebestandquickestwaytofindoutallaboutthecity’shistoryandotherplacesofinterest.(如果你时间不够，但仍然想对这座城市有个大致的了解，可以预订一个私人导游的出租车之旅或

有导游的敞篷巴士之旅。这是了解这座城市的历史和其他名胜的最好、最快的方式)”可知，CITYTOUR适合在贝尔法斯特时间有限的游客。故选D。【22题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Youalsohaveachanceofseeingmanyseals

livinginBelfast.(你也有机会看到许多生活在贝尔法斯特的海豹)”可知，游客在泰坦尼克之旅期间可以看到大量的海豹。故选B。【23题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“Whateveryourinterestis—Titanic,history,food,music

orevenGameofThrones’filmingsites—oneofthedifferenttoursonofferhereinBelfastcansatisfyyou.(无论你的兴趣是什么——泰坦尼克号、历史、美食、音乐，甚至是《权力的游戏》的拍摄地——贝

尔法斯特提供的不同之旅都可以满足你)”可推知，文章选自旅游指南。故选D。B【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了MichaelEdwards虽然在奥运会上的跳台滑雪项目中只获得了最后一名，但是他所代表的奥运精神却激励了更多人去追逐

梦想。【24题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Unlikemostathletes,Eddiedidnotcometothe1988CalgaryOlympicWinterGamesforamedal.Hecamesimplytocom

pete.Indoingso,herealizedhisdream.(与大多数运动员不同的是，Eddie并没有为了奖牌而参加1988年卡尔加里冬季奥运会。他来只是为了比赛。这样，他实现了自己的梦想。)”可知，他的梦想就是参加奥运会。故选C。【25题

详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Atfirst,EddietriedtomaketheBritishnationalskiteambutfailed.Thenhechosetheriskiestevent,skijumping.NoBritishskierhadevercompetedint

hatsport,buthavingnocompetitorsmeantthatEddiehadabetterchanceofqualifying(取得资格)forthe1988OlympicGames.(起初，E

ddie试图加入英国国家滑雪队，但失败了。然后他选择了风险最大的项目——跳台滑雪。没有英国滑雪运动员参加过这项运动，但是没有竞争对手意味着Eddie有更好的机会获得1988年奥运会的资格。)”可推断，Eddie选择这个项目是因为英国没有滑雪运动员参

加这项运动，所以Eddie没有竞争对手，那么就更有机会获得参加奥运会的资格。故选D。【26题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Eddiehadnocoach,equipment,orfinancialsupport,butwhathehadwasdetermination.

Notafraidofwhathelacked,Eddiesetouttolearnhischosensport,traininghimselffornearly2years.AndhemanagedtomeetthequalificationforOlympic

skijumping,andlandedhimselfinthe1988OlympicGames.Eddiewasdeterminedtocompete,andwhilehecameinlast,hedidmanagetolandhisjumps,andh

estillholdstheBritishrecordinthatsport.CominginlastplaceactuallymadehimthestaroftheOlympicsandthetrueembodiment(化身)oftheO

lympicspirit.(Eddie没有教练，没有设备，也没有资金支持，但他有决心。Eddie并不害怕他所缺少的东西，他开始学习他所选择的运动，自己训练了近两年。他成功地获得了奥运会跳台滑雪的资格，并参加了1988年奥运会

。Eddie决心参加比赛，虽然他是最后一名，但他成功地完成了跳跃，他仍然保持着这项运动的英国纪录。最后一名让他成为了奥运明星，成为了奥运精神的真正化身。)”可推断，Eddie成为奥运明星是因为尽管得了最后一名，但是他

勇于追求梦想的决心体现了奥运精神，使得他成为了奥运之星。故选D。【27题详解】词义猜测题。根据划线单词下一句“butwecanstruggletofindthecouragetoputourselvesbackoutthere,orthecreativitytofind

anotherway.(但我们可以努力找到勇气让自己回到那里，或者找到另一种方式的创造力。)”可知，but表示前后文是转折关系，因此推断被拒绝可能是毁灭性的，但是我们可以努力找到勇气让自己重新回到那里。所以devastating为“毁灭性的”之意。选项A“Unforgettable

(令人难忘的)”；选项B“Disastrous(灾难性的)”；选项C“Sudden(突然的)”；选项D“Confusing(令人困惑的)”。故选B。C【解析】【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。负责保护苏格兰自然世界的机构NatureScot同意将苏格兰野猫放归英国最大的国家公园。【28

题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“ResearcherswillmonitorthecatsthroughGPS,trackingtheirmovementsastheyliveintheirnewhome.”（研

究人员将通过GPS监控这些猫，跟踪它们在新家的活动）可知，研究人员通过技术来来跟踪被放生的野猫。故选A项。【29题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Wildcatshuntsmallanimals,sowildlifeexp

ertsarehopingthatthecatswillkeepdownthenumbersofrabbitsandmice,whichdamageyoungtreesandcropssuchascorn,fruitandwheat.

”（野猫捕食小动物，因此野生动物专家希望野猫能减少兔子和老鼠的数量，这些动物会损害幼树和玉米、水果和小麦等作物）可知，为什么野猫要被放归国家公园是因为他们可以捕捉破坏环境的动物。故选C项。【30题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“

ThefighttorestoreScotland’swildcatpopulationsisjustbeginning.”（恢复苏格兰野猫数量的战斗才刚刚开始）可知，要增加野猫的数量还有很长的路要走。故选D项。【31题详解】主旨大意

题。根据第二段“About60wildcatshavebeenraisedattheRoyalZoologicalSocietyofScotland’sHighlandWildlifeParkatKincraig.TheywillbereleasedinJune

intoanareaoftheCairngormsNationalParkintheScotishHighlands.”（位于金克雷格的苏格兰高地野生动物园皇家动物学会饲养了大约60只野猫。它们将于6
