rnetworks,ancientfortsandcharmingMughal-eragardens",第四段中的"Sindh,inPakistan'ssouthernregion,weavestogetherataleofhi

storyandnaturalbeauty."以及第五段中的"Pakistan'snorthernregionsareamasterpieceofnature"可知,四个地方都有自然美景。故选C。23.A,文本分析题。从内容和风格来看,本文介绍了巴基斯坦的几个旅

游景点,没有详细的旅游攻略和费用解释,所以不是旅游指南和广告。故选A.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了埃及建造阿斯旺大坝时,为了防止对古建筑等造成损害,埃及政府向联合国求助,并最终得到了解决。而这

种解决方法也为联合国以后解决类似问题提供了新思路。24.C.细节理解题。根据第二段中的"Waterfromthedamwouldlikelydamageanumberoftemplesanddestroyculturalr

elicsthatwereanimportantpartofEgypt'sculturalheritage.（大坝的水可能会损坏一些寺庙,并摧毁作为埃及文化遗产重要组成部分的文物。）"可知,新大坝建设对文化遗迹的潜在危害是人们对于新大坝建设的主要担忧。

afefromthewater.（寺庙和其他文化遗址被一块一块地拆除,然后被迁移并重新组装在一个安全的地方。）"可知,通过拆除和重新拼凑,这些文化遗址得到了拯救。故选D。26.B.推理判断题。根据第一段中的"Findingandkeepin

gtherightbalancebetweenprogressandtheprotectionofculturalsitescanbeabigchallenge.（在文化遗址的保护和进步之间找到并保持适当的平衡可能是一个巨大的挑战。）”、第二段中的"Bigchallenges,however,ca

nsometimesleadtogreatsolutions.（然而,巨大的挑战有时会带来成功的解决方案。）"和倒数第二段中的"Notonlyhadthecountriesfoundapathtothefuturethatdidnotrunovertherelicsofthep

ast,buttheyhadalsolearntthatitwaspossibleforcountriestoworktogethertobuildabettertomorrow.（这些国家不仅找到了一条不会越过过去的遗迹而通往未来的道路,还认识到,各国有可能共同努力建设一个更

美好的明天。）"可推知,在不牺牲文化遗产的情况下实现进步是可能的。故选B,27.D.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的"buttheyhadalsolearntthatitwaspossibleforcountriestoworktogethertobuildabettertomorrow

（但他们还认识到,各国有可能共同努力建设一个更美好的明天）”和最后一段"ThespiritoftheAswanDamprojectisstillalivetoday.Ifaproblemseemstoodifficultforasin

glenation,theglobalcommunitycansometimesprovideasolution.（阿斯旺大坝工程的精神今天仍然存在。如果一个问题对一个国家来说太难解决了,国际社会有时可以提供

一个解决方案。）”可推知,全球合作是阿斯旺大坝项目成功的关键。故选D【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。一项研究表明,可以通过开发新一代太阳能电池板来收获红色和蓝色的光波,分别满足农业和发电的需要,最大限度地利用太阳能。28.A.主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Withtheworldpopula

tionexpanding,there'sever-increasingpressureonfarmlandtoproducenotonlymorefoodbutalsocleanenergy.Inplacessucha

影响的忧。）”可知,第一段主要讲述了太阳能电池板占据农田,导致农田空间减少。故选A。29.D.代词指代题。that为指示代词,常用来指代上文提到的事物。根据画线词前一句“Blueoneshavehigherenergythanredones.（蓝色的光子比红色的光予能量高。）

”可知,that指代的是蓝色光子有更高的能量,更高的能量给予了产生电所需的蓝光。故选D.30.C.细节理解题。根据第三段中的"Thisnewtechnologycouldbeusedtodevelopspecialsolarpanelsthatblockblueligh

ttogeneratepower,whilepassingtheredlightontocropsplanteddirectlybelow.（这项新技术可以用于开发特殊的太阳能电池板,该电池板可以阻挡蓝光发电,同时把红

光传给正下方种植的作物。）”可知,这种有机太阳能电池板能够阻挡蓝光,让红光通过。故选C.31.D.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的"Bymaximizingthesolarspectrum,‘we'remakingfulluseofanendlesslysustainableresource,'s

aysAbouNajm.‘Ifatechnologykicksinthatcandevelopthesepanels,thentheskyisthelimitonhowefficientwecanbe.’（AbouNajm说,通过最大限度地利用太阳能光谱,‘我们正在充分利用无尽的可持续资源。

’‘如能够开发出这些面板的一项技术生效,那么我们的效率就是无限的。’）"可知,AbouNajm认为有机太阳能电池板能够最大限度地利用无尽的太阳能资源,让人类的效率变得无限,由此可推测出,他认为有机太阳能电池板非常有前景。故选D。【语篇导读】本文是

一篇说明文。随着2020年开始的第五次工业革命逐渐成形,近年来人工智能技术的发展促使专家认为这一变革时代已经到来。32.D.细节理解题。根据第一段中的"ImagineAI-poweredrobotsthatsee,hear,touchandmore,pooli

结合本文主要介绍了随着人工智能技术的迅速发展,人类已迈入第五次工业革命（IR5.0）,这一新时代标志着人与AI之间更深层次的合作。不同于以往以文本命令为主的交互方式,新的工业革命将实现AI能通过视觉、听觉等多种形式收集、整合信息,并结合网络上庞大的数

据进行深度理解,预示着一个被称作“认知时代”的新纪元。故选C。【语篇导读】本篇文章主要讲了如何从现在越追求自己的梦想。36.B.空后句提到你不必迈出巨大的、改变一生的那一步,而空前句发出了问句:为什么要等待?故该空应该是某种做法并且与后句的

循序渐进形成呼应,对应B选项,即我们完全可以从小事做起,慢慢实现我们的梦想。37.C.该空后面的内容本要为强调尝试的必要性以及不尝试的恶果,而且该部分内容多次提到了"yourself""self"这一点,而C选项

意为你有责任去追求你的梦想,而这份责任是你对你自己的责任,与后文的“yourself”形成呼应。38.G.空前句提出了我们在追求梦想的过程当中会面临一些别人对自己以及自己对自己的怀疑,并以成功人士举例,而空后句则提到了要坚定思想,相信自己最终能够获得成功,故空格处需要

对应前面的障碍以及后面的坚定,选择G选项,hardasitis意为“尽管困难重重”,对应前面的各种质疑;“it'scrucialtowaveoffthedoubtsinthebackofyourmind”表示需要去除心中疑虑,与后面的坚定信

念形成对应,此外该处的“doubts”也对应前文提到的一些质疑之声。39.F.空前句强调了让恐惧操纵的后果十分严重,而空后句则说明了这个空格处的句子是你会用来鼓励你朋友的,所以空格句需要满足两个条件,一方面,空格

句应是某种鼓励做法,另一方面,该鼓励措施与恐惧有关。40.E.该段强调了追求梦想需要维持适当的平衡,不能以牺牲生活当中的一切为代价,即再次强调了循序渐进这一理念。而该句作为末尾句,选项E是符合这种理念的

,而“Ifthingsgowell”对应的是空前句保持平衡的做法。【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者是一位在贫困中长大的第一代亚裔移民,一位朋友的离去让她感到失落,她开始奢侈品而是人类内在的核心,贫穷的移民也能拥有创造力。41.B.考查形容词词义辨析。句意:作为在贫困中长大的第一代亚洲移民,
