.C30.C31.B【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了17岁的女孩Arora发明了一种比传统塑料分解更快的塑料，介绍了她发明这种塑料的经过和她的发明所取得的成就。【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“Whenasked,thecashierin

formedherhowplastichurtstheplanetandthattheadditionalchargewastheretoencouragepeoplenottouseit.ThisinspiredAroratocreateakindofplasticth

atwouldbreakdownfasterthantheconventionalone.(当被询问时，收银员告诉她塑料是如何伤害地球的，额外收费是为了鼓励人们不要使用它。这启发Arora发明了一种比传统塑料分解更快的塑料)”可知，是收银员对收费塑料袋的

评价启发Arora创造了一种特殊的塑料。故选A。【29题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“Onenight,whilehavingdinner,shenoticedthattheshellsofprawnslookplasticky.Sheimmediatelywenttothelabt

oresearch.Later,shewoulddescribethatdinnerasher“Eureka”moment.(一天晚上，在吃晚饭的时候，她注意到虾壳看起来像塑料。她立即去实验室做研究。后来，她将那次晚餐描述为她的“顿悟”时刻)”可推知，Arora在那次吃晚饭时从虾壳中得到了灵

感，创造出了这种分解很快的塑料，所以“Eureka”的时刻是指突发灵感的瞬间。故选C。【30题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中“Moreover,thisplasticreleasesnitrogenwhenbreakingdown,which

iswhyitcanbeusedasplantfertilizer.(此外，这种塑料在分解时会释放出氮，这就是为什么它可以用作植物肥料)”可知，第四段中的新型塑料可以用来帮助植物生长。故选C。【31题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Usingthecombinationo

fthesetwoorganicmaterials,Aroracreatedaplastic-likematerialthatbreaksdowncompletelywithinjust33days.(Arora将这两种有机材料结合起来，创造了一种类似塑料的材

料，这种材料在短短33天内就能完全分解)”以及最后一段中“Asaninspiringyoungwoman,Arorawantstomakeadifferenceintheworld,andshewantstoencourageotheryoungpeopletofollo

wtheirpassionandmakeapositivedifferencehowevertheycan.(作为一名鼓舞人心的年轻女性，Arora想要改变世界，她希望鼓励其他年轻人追随自己的激情，尽其所能做出积极的改变)”

可推知，Arora创造出了分解更快的塑料，且鼓励其他年轻人，所以她是个有创造性和启发性的人。故选B。DEvenasself-drivingcarsbecomemoreandmorepopular,there’soneproblemthatSiliconValleyhasn’tsolved:the

htFutureofFlyingVehicles【答案】32.C33.B34.A35.C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。尽管无人驾驶汽车越来越受欢迎，但还有一个问题没有解决：交通堵塞。为解决这一问题，美国空中客车集团（AirbusGroup）正在研究可以同时用于客运和货运的自动飞行器。

【32题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Currently,nocountriesallowcompletelyautonomousaerialvehicles,sothevehiclewouldinitiallybemannedbyapilo

t(目前，没有任何国家允许完全自动驾驶飞行器，所以该车辆最初将由飞行员驾驶)”可知，目前没有一个国家允许完全自主的空中交通工具，因此现在必须有人驾驶。故选C。【33题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中的TomEnders说的话“butit’s

notcrazytoimaginethatonedayourbigcitieswillhaveflyingcarsmakingtheirwayalongroadsinthesky(但想象有一天我们的大城市会有空中的汽车行驶，这并不疯狂)”Inanottoodis

tantfuture,we’lluseoursmartphonestobookafullyautomatedflyingtaxithatwilllandoutsideourfrontdoor—withoutanypilot.(在不久的将来，我

们将使用智能手机预订一辆全自动的飞行出租车，它将降落在前门外，没有飞行员)”可推断，TomEnders对于自动飞行器的看法是乐观的。故选B。【34题详解】词义猜测题。根据下文“Thesamesensortechnologythatallowsself-drivingc

arstoavoidaccidentsdoesn’texistforaerialvehicles(飞行器不存在允许自动驾驶汽车避免事故的传感器技术)”可知，能让和自动驾驶汽车一样避免事故的传感技术在空中交通工具上并

不存在，还有很多技术问题需要解决。所以kinks在文中意为“问题”。故选A。【35题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Thecompany’sSiliconValleybranchrecentlyannouncedit’sbeenworking

onasecretprojecttitled“Vahana”,anautonomousflyingvehiclethatcanbeusedforbothpassengerandcargo(货物)transport.(该公司的硅谷分公司最近宣布，他们正在进行一个名为

“Vahana”的秘密项目，这是一种可用于乘客和货物运输的自动驾驶飞行器)”以及下文内容可知，本文主要讲述了美国空中客车集团正在研究可以同时用于客运和货运的自动飞行器。因此推断C项“Airbus将使飞行出租车成为现实”为最佳标题

。故选C。福建省泉州科技中学2020-2021学年高二下学期期中考试英语试题第二部分阅读（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中

失，而人类是罪魁祸首。文章通过列举具体的数字来说明热带雨林被严重破坏程度，以及热带雨林的重要性。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“Tropicalrainforestsoncecovered14.5millionsquarekilometersofEar

th'ssurface,butnow,justone-thirdofthatremainsintact.Oftheoriginalareatropicalrainforestsonceoccupied,34%iscom

pletelygoneand30%issufferingfromdegradation.Allthatremainsisroughly9.5millionsquarekilometers,and45%ofthatisinadegradedstate,thereportsays.(热带雨林曾经覆盖了

地球表面1450万平方公里的土地，但现在只有三分之一的土地完好无损。在曾经被热带雨林占据的原始区域中，34%已经完全消失，30%正在遭受退化。报告称，剩下的面积约为950万平方公里，其中45%处于退化状态)”可推知，第2段中的数字的目的是

强调对热带雨林的严重破坏。故选D。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“Researchersblamehumanconsumptionfortheloss.Whileagriculturehasalwaysbeenadr

但能源消耗、国际贸易、大豆和棕榈油生产、伐木和采矿是过去一个世纪最大的威胁。大量的美国商品依赖于热带雨林的资源。该国严重依赖棕榈油、橡胶和可可，这些都来自世界各地的森林)”可推知，作者提到美国对雨林资源的依赖是为了表明人类对雨林资源的过度消耗。故选D。

【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中“Alongwithsupportingsignificantanimallife,tropicalrainforestsarealsoessentialtoslowingdownglob

alwarming.(除了维持重要的动物生命，热带雨林对减缓全球变暖也至关重要)”可知，全球气候会受到热带雨林减少的影响。故选C。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“TheaftermathofCOVID-19shouldbringrainforestprotectionto

thetopoftheagendaofallpolicymakersandworldleadersconcernedaboutpreventingtheoutbreakofnewpandemics.(COVID-19的后果应该使雨林保护成为所有关心预防

新流行病爆发的政策制定者和世界领导人的首要议程)”可推知，在最后一段Krogh想传达的意思是：雨林保护需要立即予以重视。故选A。DBricksareoneoftheoldestknownbuildingmaterials,datingb

中“Ilovetheideaofaddingvaluetothingsthatareinexpensive,thingsthatareaffordable,thingsthatwekindoftakeforg

ranted,”（我喜欢把价值赋予那些不贵的东西，那些我们可以负担得起的东西，那些我们认为理所当然的东西的这个想法）。即JulioD’Arcy认为可以在砖块上面实现附加价值。故选C。2.细节理解题。由题干关

键词“abrickconductelectricity”定位到第三段“Thebrickbatteryreliesonthereddishpigment（色素）knownasironoxide,orrust,thatgivesredbrickstheir

color.Thescientistspumpedthebrickswithseveralgasesthatreactwithironoxidetoproduceanetworkofplasticfibers.Thesemicroscopicfiberscoattheemptysp

络。这些微小的纤维覆盖了砖块内部的空隙，并导电。）可知，第—步∶colorthebrickred；第二步∶pumpthebrickwithgaes；第三步∶producemicroscopicfibers；第四步∶coattheemptyspacesinsidethe

bricks，所以最后一步是用显微纤维覆盖砖块内部的空隙。故答案为D。3.推理判断题。根据文中第五段中“Inthefuture,D’Arcysays,abrickwallcouldpotentiall

yserveadoublepurpose:providingstructuralsupportandstoringelectricitygeneratedfromrenewableenergysources,suchassolarpanels.”（D’Arcy说：“

在未来，砖墙可能有双重用途：提供结构支撑和储存可再生能源产生的电力，比如太阳能电池板。”）可知，未来的砖墙是能够贮存电力的建筑材料。选项C符合题意。故选C。4.推理判断题。结合最后一段“Thetechnologyisstillatleastafewyearsawayfrombeingre

adyforthecommercialmarket.Andrightnowtheenergystoragecapacityofthebricksisstillprettylow”（这项技术至少还需要几年才能投入商业市场。现在砖块的储能能力仍然很低）可推知，此处作

者是从客观实际阐述这种新技术。所以态度上市很客观的。选项A.“怀疑的”；选项B.“客观的”符合题意。选项C.“保守的，守旧的”；选项D.“有争议的”。故选B。福建省莆田第七中学2020-2021学年高二下学期期中考试英

色可以缓和罪犯的情绪，具有很大的益处。【4题详解】词句猜测题。根据第三段的“Othercellscontainaroyalbluelinebecausepsychologistsbelievethatthecolorislikelytoencouragetruthfulness.（其

他牢房中含有一条皇家蓝线，因为心理学家认为这种颜色可能鼓励诚实），因此推知，第1段中的“tipThebalance”可能表示如果他们马上就要认罪了，蓝色帮助犯罪嫌疑人认罪。故选B。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Red,ontheother

hand,shouldneverbeconsideredbecauseitcouldincreaseaggression.(另一方面，永远不应该考虑红色，因为它会增加侵略性。)”可知，牢房中不应该使用红色。根据最后一段的最后两句“GwentisnotthefirstBritishforcet

oexperimentwithcolourtocalmdownorpersuadeprisonerstoco-operate.”可知，在牢房中使用粉色可以使人放松；根据第六段的“therightyellowcanliftspiritsandself-respect

”可知，正确的黄色可以振奋精神和自尊；根据第三段的“Othercellscontainaroyalbluelinebecausepsychologistsbelievethatthecolorisli

kelytoencouragetruthfulness.”可知，蓝色可以鼓励诚实，故粉色，黄色和蓝色都可以使用，仅有红色不可以。故选D。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Thestationhas31cells,including12witha

“livescan"systemfordrunkenordisturbedprisoners,whichdetectstheriseandfalloftheirchest.”可知，该监狱共有31个囚室，其中12个囚室装有“实时扫描”系统，遇到情况就会向狱警发出警报，

故选A。【7题详解】主旨大意题。根据第三段的“Othercellscontainaroyalbluelinebecausepsychologistsbelievethatthecolorislikelytoencouragetruthfulness.(

其他牢房里有一条皇家蓝线，因为心理学家认为这种颜色可能会鼓励诚实)”以及最后一段的“Mrs.Collinspraisedthedesignersforusingcolorsinthecells.(柯林斯女士称赞设计师在牢房里使用了颜

色。)”以及上下文内容可知，本文介绍不同的颜色有不同的心理暗示，研究者们利用这一原理为监狱配备不同的颜色，从心理上影响罪犯。因此推断本文主要讲述监狱里颜色的使用影响着犯罪的心理。故选C。CTheCOVID-19pandemicha

。）可知，新冠肺炎大流行期间，景点的关闭使得动物们能自由活动，没有游客的干扰。故选B。【9题详解】词句猜测题。根据第三段划线词后句“JoinusforaHomeSafariOnlineLiveeachweekdayat3pm，wherew

ewillhighlightoneofouramazinganimalsandincludeanactivityyoucandofromhome.”（“加入我们每个工作日下午3点的家庭狩猎线上生活，在那里我们将展示出我们的令人惊讶的动物之一并且包

括一个活动，你可以在家里做。）可知，线上节目使孩子们从学习中暂时脱离出来。所以hiatus为“间断，脱离”之意。故选D。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段“Meanwhile，theSanDiegoSafariParkhaskepttheirw

ebcams（网络摄像头）rolling，allowingfanstoenjoylovableanimalswithoutleavinghome.”（与此同时,圣地亚哥的野生动物园一直保持他们的网络摄像头,让粉丝们足不出户享受可爱的动物。）可知，圣地亚哥野生动物园一直保持摄像头的原因是

ythatsethimapartfromhisschoolmatesathiselementaryschool,P.S.81,intheBronx.（当SimonCane上二年级的时候，他开始学习人类对环境的所有影响，并真正把课堂上所学的内容牢记在心，

在某种程度上这使他与布朗克斯的第81公立小学的同学们区别开来。）”以及“SoSimonconvincedhisparentstostarthangingtheirclothestodry,takingthestairsinsteadofelevators,and

other“green”measures.（所以，西蒙说服他的父母把衣服挂起来晾干，不坐电梯而走楼梯，以及采取其他“绿色”措施。）”可知，当SimonCane上二年级的时候，他开始学习人类对环境的所有影响，把那些课

堂上所学的内容铭记于心，并且采取“绿色”措施保护环境，这使得他跟他的同学不同。故选D项。【5题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“AsSimongotbigger,though,itwasn’tpracticalforhimtorideonhisfather’sb

ptheplanet:runningthe1.5milestoP.S.81.（但是在2019年，那时候8岁的西蒙上三年级，他提出了一个帮助地球的新方法:跑步1.5英里去布朗克斯第81公立小学。）”可推知，二

年级时SimonCane主要是坐车去上学。故选A项。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“‘Tobehonest,Ithoughthe’dblink(眨眼)afteritgotreallycoldorrainy,buthenever

did,’Jonathansaid.（说实话，我以为天冷了或下雨了他就会犹豫一下，但他从来没有。）”可知，SimonCane比预料的要坚强。故选C项。【7题详解】主旨大意题。阅读全文，尤其是根据第一段“

dsituationsclearly.【答案】8.D9.D10.C11.B【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要告诉我们研究表明，负面情绪限制了我们的思维，积极的情绪可以提高创造力。影响我们创造力的关键因素不是我们的情绪本身，而是我们感觉的力量和工作背后的动机。因此重要的是我们要

积极面对内心的感受，这样才有助于提高我们的创造力。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段的“Maybeyou’redepressedbecauseyoudidn’tsleepwell.Oryoufeelstuckwhenyoureadanemailwith

somebadnewsthatpreventedyourenthusiasticimagination.”（也许你因为睡眠不好而沮丧。或者，当你读到一封里面有一些坏消息的邮件时，你会觉得陷入了困境，这些坏消息阻碍了你热情的想象。）可知，我们在生活中会出现一

些不好的情绪。再根据第一段“Whateverthecasemaybe,youtellyourselfworkingnowisinvain(徒劳的),becauseyoucouldn’tpossiblycomeupwithanythinginventiveinthismood.”（

不管是什么情况，你都会告诉自己现在工作是徒劳的，因为在这种心情下，你不可能想出任何有创意的东西。）可知，在坏情绪下，很难想出任何有创意的东西。由此可推断出，作者写第一段的目的主要是阐明情绪是如何影响你的创造力的。故选D项。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段关键句“

Bothpositiveandnegativemoodscanleadtotwodifferentkindsofcreativitythatbenefitdifferenttasks.”（积极和消极的情绪能产生两种不同

的创造力，对不同的任务有益。）和“Researchshowsthatthekeyfactorinfluencingourcreativityisnotourmooditself,butthestrengthofourfe

elingsandthemotivation(动机)behindourwork.”（研究表明，影响我们创造力的关键因素不是我们的情绪本身，而是我们感觉的力量和工作背后的动机。）可知，作者认为积极和消极的情绪能产生两种不同的创造力，并引用了

研究结论告诉我们影响我们创造力的关键因素不是我们的情绪本身。在文章中，作者没有直接表明自己对消极情绪的支持或否定态度，而是陈述客观的研究结论，由此可推断出，作者对消极情绪的态度是客观的。故选D项。【10题详解】推理

判断题。根据最后一段内容“Itcomesasnosurprisethenthathighlycreativepeopletendtobeveryfamiliarwiththeiremotions.Theyreportexperiencingverystrongemotio

nsmorefrequentlythanlesscreativepeopleandaremorewillingtoexperiencethoseemotions.”（因此，高度创造性的人往往对自己的情绪非常熟悉，这就

不足为奇了。报告说，他们比缺乏创造力的人更频繁地经历强烈的情绪，并且更愿意体验这些情绪。）可知，句中的They指代的是highlycreativepeople，也就是说，高度创造性的人比缺乏创造力的人更频繁地经历强烈的情绪，由此可推

断出，强烈的情绪在创造性中发挥着重要的作用。故选C项。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第四段关键句“Researchshowsthatthekeyfactorinfluencingourcreativityisnotou

rmooditself,butthestrengthofourfeelingsandthemotivation(动机)behindourwork.”（研究表明，影响我们创造力的关键因素不是我们的情绪本身，而是我们感觉的力量和工作背后的动机。）和最后一段关键句“They

reportexperiencingverystrongemotionsmorefrequentlythanlesscreativepeopleandaremorewillingtoexperiencethoseemotions.”（报告说，他们比缺乏创造力的人更频繁

地经历强烈的情绪，并且更愿意体验这些情绪。）可知，影响我们创造力的关键因素不是我们的情绪本身，而是我们如何面对这些情绪，对于有创造力的人来说，他们更愿意体验这些情绪，他们的态度是积极的。由此可推断出，不管在什么情绪之下，如果我们能积极面对内心的感受，这样我们可

以变得更有创造力。故选B项。DAbouttenmenineveryhundredsufferfromcolorblindnessinsomeway.Womenareluckier;onlyaboutoneintwohundredisaffectedinthismatter.Perhaps,

色）可知，本篇文章主要在介绍色盲以及我们的眼睛如何分辨不同的颜色和形状。故选D项。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Inasingleeyetherearemillionsofverysmallthingscalle

d“cones”.Thesehelpustoseeinabrightlightandtotelldifferencebetweencolors”（在一只眼睛里有数百万个被称为“视锥细胞”的非常小的东西。这些能帮助

我们在明亮的光线下看清物体，并区分不同的颜色）可知，cones可以帮助我们辨别颜色。故选C项。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Abouttenmenineveryhundredsufferfrom

byawoman!”（大约每100个男人中就有10个在某种程度上患有色盲。妇女是幸运的;大约只有百分之一的人受到这件事的影响。也许，毕竟，由一个女人开车更安全）可知，女性色盲比男性少。故选B项。【15题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Therearediff
