讲述了小狗走失后偶遇一个男孩,最终成功跟随小男孩回家的故事。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Onthewaytohishomethechildturnedmanytimesandbeatthedog,declaringwithchild
ishgesturesthatheheldhimincontempt(茂视)asanunimportantdog.thedogapologizedforbeingthisqualityofanimaland
expressedregretinfineform,buthecontinuedstealthilytofollowthechild.(在回家的路上,孩子多次转过身来打那条狗,用孩子气的手势宣称他蔑视那条狗,认为它是一条不重要的狗。狗为自己是这样的动
物而道歉,并以良好的形式表示遗憾,但它继续偷偷地跟着孩子。)”可知,孩子试图摆脱狗,而且他们在此之前并不认识,可见他们是无意间遇到的。从而推断,这条狗曾是别人的宠物,但迷路了。小狗是丢失后才遇到男孩的。故选B。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段“He
performedafewplayfuljumpswithsuchabandon(尽情地)thatthechildsuddenlysawhimtobeavaluablething.(它尽情地跳了几下,孩子突然觉得它很有价值。)”可知,小狗努力的取悦男孩,使得男孩改变了主意。故选D
。【10题详解】推理判断题。文章四五两段在描述男孩拖拉小狗上楼梯的过程,看得出小男孩精力充沛,一直不懈的努力着,尽管当时小狗是有点害怕的,但小男孩没有停止自己的行为,可见这个男孩子有点调皮。故选A。【11题详解】推理判断题。狗的心情和它的遭遇是一致的,第一段狗尽管被嫌弃但还是跟着
,心情是有点罪恶感的,从apologized可以看出;第二段出现了anxiousandshamed,可见狗的心情是紧张羞愧;第三段狗取悦小孩;四五段就是狗被带上楼梯的过程,从panic-stricken可以看出,狗因为未知的地方感到害怕;最后一段狗和小孩已经交
好,推断出心情愉悦。故选C。D【2023广东梅州一模】Whilemostofusareneverwithoutoursmartphonesrobotsmayalsosoonbecomeessentialcompanions.Itcertainlyseemssobasedonther

体机器人从而保护人们免受焦虑。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段“ItcertainlyseemssobasedontherecentexperimentsconductedbyresearchersinJapan,whodevelopedawea

dpeopleagainstanxiety.(从日本研究人员最近进行的实验来看,似乎确实如此。他们开发了一种可穿戴的软体机器人,供患者在治疗期间使用,如注射和其他令人不快的治疗,试图减轻他们的疼痛,保护人们免受焦虑。)”可知,
这款机器人可以减轻患者的疼痛。故选B。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Theresearchersfoundthatholdingtherobothelpedrelievetheexperienceforpatientsregardlessoftheex
perimentalconditionsused,andconcludedthatthefeelingsofwell-beingthatcanbecreatedbyhumantouchmayhavealsobeenactivatedbytherobot.“Itiswellknownthatint

rofessorTanaka.(研究人员发现,无论实验条件如何,抱着机器人都有助于缓解患者的体验,并得出结论,人类触摸所产生的幸福感可能也被机器人激活了。田中教授说:“众所周知,人与人之间的接触可以减少疼痛和恐惧,我们相信即使是在无生命的软体机器人身上也能达到
这种效果。”)”可知,这款机器人让人们在触摸它的时候产生了幸福感,从而缓解了疼痛和焦虑。故选C。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“FutureversionsoftherobotmightuseacontrolledgazeorevenAR(
augmentedreality)technologiestohelpbuildaconnectionwiththepatientordistractthemfrompainperceptioninvarioussituations.(未来版本的机器人可能会使用控制凝视甚至AR(增
强现实)技术来帮助与患者建立联系,或在各种情况下分散他们对疼痛的感知。)”可推断,研究人员未来会开发一些其他的医疗功能。故选A。【15题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Itcertainlyseemssobasedontherecentexperi
mentsconductedbyresearchersinJapan,whodevelopedawearablesoftrobotforpatientstouseduringtreatments,suchasinjections(注射)andotherunpleas

他令人不快的治疗,试图减轻他们的疼痛,保护人们免受焦虑。在接受适度的热刺激时,佩戴机器人的研究参与者比不佩戴机器人的测试参与者感受到的疼痛要少。)”及全文可知,文章主要介绍了一种可穿戴的软体机器人,它们可以帮助那些害怕注射的人们,以缓
解他们的焦虑。所以“WearableSoftRobotHelpsPeopleScareofinjections.(可穿戴软机器人帮助人们避免打针。)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。【2023山东菏泽一模】You’veorderedanewpairofshoesonline.The

网购退货造成的垃圾,由此带来的问题非常棘手,对此人们提出了许多建议和可行方案。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句“Eachyear,5billionpoundsofwasteisgeneratedthroughreturnsintheworld.Inth
eUSalone,customersreturnapproximately3.5billionproducts,ofwhichonly20%areactuallyfaultyaccordingtoOptoro,acompanywhichspecializesi
ntacklingthereturns.(每年,全世界有50亿磅的垃圾是退货产生的。据专门处理退货问题的Optoro公司称,仅在美国,客户就退货了大约35亿件产品,其中只有20%是有问题的。)”可知,第3段的统计数字是来说明退货产生大量垃圾的。故选D。【9题详解
】细节理解题。根据第四段第二句中的“Manycompaniessimplydon’thavethetechnologytohandlethesefaultsinreturnedgoods,,soitisof
tenmostprofitableforthemtosellthemcheaplytodiscountersviaawebofshipping,drivingandflyingthemaroundthe
globe,ortosimplytruckthemtothedump.(许多公司根本没有技术来处理退货中的这些错误的技术,因此,对他们来说,最有利可图的方式往往是通过全球运输、驾驶和空运网络,将它们廉价卖给折扣店,或者干脆用卡车把它们运到垃圾场。)
”可知,由于相关技术的缺乏,退货成为公司真正头疼的问题。故选B。【10题详解】主旨大意题。根据第五段第一句“Optoro’ssoftwarehelpsretailers(零售商)andmanufacturersresellunsoldgoodsmoreea
sily.Theyofferanumberofoptionsforretailers,includingawebsitetoreselltheirgoods,calledBlinq,aswellashelpingwithre-routinggoodstodonation,stor

括一个名为Blinq的转售商品的网站,以及帮助将商品重新安排到捐赠、商店货架、亚马逊或eBay上。他们估计他们的工作有助于减少70%的垃圾填埋。)”可知,第五段主要是讲一个实用的解决退货的办法——Optoro软件
。故选C。【11题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句中的“AnnStarodaj,SeniorDirectorofSustainabilityatOptoro,saysthatwhileconsumerhabitsmightstillbeharmful,creatingaprofitablean
denvironmentallyfriendlyfashionmodelfromstarttofinishisthewayforward(Optoro的可持续发展高级总监AnnStarodaj说虽然消费者的习惯可能仍然有害,但从头到尾创造一种有利可图且环保的时尚模式是前进的方向)”和第二句中
的“creatingabusinessmodelwhereyou’remakingiteasierforthemtomakesustainablechoicesisveryimportant(创造一种商业模式,让他们更容易做出可持续的选择是非
常重要的)”可知,AnnStarodaj想要传达的是创建一个可持续的有利可图且环保的商业模式是至关重要的。故选D。D【2023山东菏泽一模】Oneperson’shappinesscausesachainreactionth

.【答案】12.B13.B14.D15.A【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了一个观点:一个人的幸福通过社交网络传播,因此一个人的幸福和朋友,以及朋友的朋友有关。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段二三句“Theresearchersfo
undthatwhenanindividualbecomeshappy,afriendlivingwithinamileexperiencesa25percentincreasedchanceofbecominghappy.Aco-residentsp

一个人开心的时候,最有可能因此变得开心的是他的邻居。故选B项。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段第一句““Imagineabird’seyeviewofabackyardparty,”Fowlerexplains.“You’llseepeopl
eingroupsatthecenter,andothersonthefringe.Thehappiestpeopletendtobetheonesinthecenter…”(福勒解释道:“想象一下后院聚会的鸟
瞰图,你会看到一群人在中心,其他人在边缘。最快乐的人往往是中心的人…”)”可知,福勒提出这个聚会的目的是为了解释某个和一个网络中最开心的人的位置相关的概念,上文第三段最后两句“However,becominghappydoesnothelpmigrate
apersonfromthenetworkfringe(外围)tothecenter.Happinessspreadsthroughthenetworkwithoutchangingitsstructure.(然而,变得快乐并不能帮助一个人
从网络边缘迁移到中心。幸福通过网络传播而不改变其结构。)”提出了需要解释的观点:因为幸福通过网络传播,不改变网络的结构,因此一个人变得快乐并不会使他从网络的边缘迁移到中心。故选B项。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段后两句“However,becominghappydoesnot
helpmigrateapersonfromthenetworkfringe(外围)tothecenter.Happinessspreadsthroughthenetworkwithoutchangingitss
tructure.(然而,变得快乐并不能帮助一个人从网络边缘迁移到中心。幸福通过网络传播而不改变其结构。)”可知,本研究旨在告诉读者幸福通过网络传播,即社交网络。故选D项。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“Nexttime,ifyou’rehappyandyouknowi
t,thankyourfriends—andtheirfriends.(下一次,如果你很开心,并且你知道这一点,那就感谢你的朋友和他们的朋友。)”可知,作者建议读者如果开心,那就得感谢朋友和朋友的朋友,可推测这是因为一
个人的快乐可能是朋友或者朋友的朋友带来的。故选A项。【2023广东茂名一模】Willskippingbreakfastmakemefat?Thegoodnewsforthosewhodon’thavebreakfas

题详解】词句猜测题。根据后文“aslongasyoucontrolthosehigh-caloriedesiresandstayactive.(只要你控制对高热量食物的渴望并保持活跃)”可知,只要控制对
高热量食物的渴望并保持活跃,对于那些不吃早餐的人来说,好消息是体重并不是不可避免的,故画线词意思是“不可避免的”。故选B。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“Someresearchershavefoundthatyoumayeveneatfewercaloriesoverall,a
ndendupusingyourbody’sfatreservesforenergy,whichcanactuallyhelpyouloseweight.(一些研究人员发现,你甚至可以摄入更少的卡路里,最终利用身体的脂肪储备来获取能量,这实际上可以帮助你
减肥)”可知,有些不吃早餐的人会减肥因为他们摄入的卡路里更少。故选D。【10题详解】主旨大意题。根据第三段“However,weightisn’ttheonlyconsideration:studiesshowthatbreakfast-skippersar

ndscanbemoredamagingthanlookingatcontentsharedbycelebrities,newresearchhasfound.(一项新的研究发现,与看名人分享的内容相比,参与朋友分
享的社交媒体可能更具破坏性)”可知新研究发现朋友的帖子对我们的影响比名人的更大,故选B。【9题详解】推理判断题。文章第二段讲到“VirenSwami,ProfessorofSocialPsychologyatAngliaRuskinUniversity,believesthisispartlyb
ecauseweknowit’shardtoattainthelivesofcelebritiesorinfluences,butwhenwe’recomparingourselvestoourfriends,itfeelslikeweshoul
d-orcould-livethewaytheydo.(AngliaRuskin大学社会心理学教授VirenSwami认为,这部分是因为我们知道很难获得名人或影响力的生活,但当我们将自己与朋友进行比较时,感觉我们应该或者可以像他们那样生活)”可知根据Swam的说法,我们更容易
与朋友进行比较是因为他们的生活方式更容易见得到,故选C。【10题详解】词义猜测题。文章划线单词下一句讲到“Weallhaveoneareainourlivesthattriggers(触发)us.Maybeyo

群岛地处偏僻,且捕食者被吸引到海滩上对救援对也是风险,所以这次不能及时救援的原因是岛屿偏远且对救援队有危险。故选D项。【13题详解】词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Otherwise,itcouldhavetakenweeksforthemtodienatur
ally.(否则,它们可能需要数周时间才能自然死亡。)”内的otherwise可知,划线单词所在的句子为条件,意为“如果不对剩下的这些鲸鱼进行……的话,可能要等到数周后才能自然死亡”,结合选项可以判断,此处表
示的是对剩余的鲸鱼进行“人为”的让其死亡,所以划线单词的意思为“安乐死”。故选B项。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Thoughthemedicalmedicsdidsotoputthemoutoftheirsuffering,DarenGrover,thegene

达伦·格罗弗将结果描述为“令人心碎”。)”可知,DarenGrover认为这样处理剩余的鲸鱼的确是为了让鲸鱼摆脱痛苦,但是这个结果还是让人悲痛的。故选A项。【15题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Thecauseofthesemassstrandingincidents
isnotobviousatthemoment,althoughvarioustheorieshavebeenraised.(这些大规模搁浅事件的原因目前还不明显,尽管已经提出了各种理论。)”可知,大规模搁浅事件原因不明。故选C项。【2023河南安阳一模】Gender(性别)equali

】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是性别平等问题需要男性的加入和支持才能够得到进一步的解决。【8题详解】主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“Atanindividuallevel,menwhoareunwillingtowor
kcloselywithwomencanofcoursehaveadamagingeffectonthecareersoftheirfemalecolleagues.(在个人层面上,不愿意与女性密切合作的男性当然会对女性同事的职业生涯产生破坏性影响。)”可知,不愿意与女性工
作的男性会对女性同事的职业生涯有破坏性影响,由此可知,男性的行为是产生性别不平等的原因之一,所以第三段分析的是性别平等很难解决的原因。故选A项。【9题详解】词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“In1984theSpeakeroftheU.S.HouseofRepresentativesa
ndanothertwoofficials-allmen-spokeoutinfavorofnamingawomantotheDemocraticParty’spresidentialcandidate,andeventually
,theymadeGeraldineFerrarothevicepresident,thefirstwomanevertorunonamajorpartyticket.(1984年,美国众议院议长和另外两名男性官员公开支持提名一名女性为民主
党总统候选人,最终,他们让GeraldineFerraro担任副总统,这是有史以来第一位竞选主要政党的女性。)”可知,在男性的帮助之下,GeraldineFerraro成为有史以来第一位竞选主要政党的女性,结合划线单词所在的句子中提到的GeraldineFer
raro之所以能与男性平等,不仅是几十年女性激进主义和抗议的产物,也有有权势男性支持的产物,由此可知,划线单词的意思是“支持”。故选B项。【10题详解】主旨大意题。根据首段中的“Gender(性别)equalityatworkb
enefitseveryoneandthewaytogettherefasteristoempowermenasallies(同盟)inthefight.(工作中的性别平等对每个人都有好处,而更快实现目标的方法是赋予男性作为战斗中的盟友
的权力。)”以及尾段中的“Men’svoicesareimportant.(男人的声音很重要。)”可知,性别平等问题的解决需要的是男性的加入和支持,结合全文内容可知,本文的主题是“男性的加入和支持是解决性别平等问题的方法之一”。故选D项。【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段中的“Gender(性别)equalityatworkbenefitseveryoneandthewaytogettherefasteristoempowermenasallies(同盟)inthefight.(工作中的性别平等对每
个人都有好处,而更快实现目标的方法是赋予男性作为战斗中的盟友的权力。)”以及下文中所讲述的内容可知,本文主要是讲述的性别平等这一社会问题,所以文章应该出现在报纸的“社会”部分中。故选B项。【2023甘肃张掖一模】Elephantsareoftenseencomfortingupsetindi

导语】本文是说明文。研究表明,大象能感知同伴的低落情绪,且会对其进行安慰。【8题详解】词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Elephants’responsestostressaredifficulttoexplorebecauseonehastowaitforopportunitiesforthesea
risingnaturallyinthewild.(大象对压力的反应是很难探索的,因为人们必须等待在野外自然产生的机会)”以及画线词上文“However,JoshuaPlotnik,ascientistatMahidolUniversityinThailand
”中表示转折意义的however可知,大象对压力的反应很难探究,但是JoshuaPlotnik通过观察大象自然公园里的大象克服了这一困难。故画线词意思是“克服”。故选A。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中““Whenelephantsintheparkseeanelephantbehavin
ginthismanner,theytypicallyrespondbyfeelingthesameemotion,”Plotniksaid,“justaswedowhenwatchingascarymovietogether.Ifanactorisfrightened,ourhearts
raceandwereachforeachother’shands—areactionknownas‘emotionalcontagion’.”(“当公园里的大象看到一头大象有这种行为时,它们通常会产生同样的情绪反应,”普洛特尼克说,“就像我们一起看恐怖电影时一样。如果演员受到惊吓,我
们的心跳就会加速,我们会伸手去拉对方的手——这种反应被称为‘情绪传染’。”)”可推知,Plotnik提到了“看恐怖电影”的情况是为了阐明一个概念——情绪传染。故选C。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中““But
morestudiesareneeded,preferablyinwildpopulations,”Plotniksaid.“Whatisuncleariswhethertheseresponsesprimarilybenefittheupsetanimals,orther
es-ponders,”ShermindeSilva,abehavioralecologist,said.(普洛特尼克说:“但还需要更多的研究,最好是在野生种群中进行。”行为生态学家ShermindeSilva说:“目前尚不清楚的是,这些反应主要是对不安的动物有利,还是对反应者有利。”)
”可知,该研究还是有一定的局限性的。故选A。【11题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Now,scientistshaveshownthatAsianelephantsdoindeedgetupsetwhentheyseeothersin
trouble,andtheyreachouttocomfortthem.Elephants,thus,jointhelistofotheranimals,includingdogs,wolvesandsome
birds,whichhavebeenshowntodoso.(现在,科学家们已经证明,亚洲象在看到同类陷入困境时确实会感到不安,它们会伸出手来安慰它们。因此,大象加入了其他动物的行列,包括狗、狼和一些鸟类,它们都被证明会这样做)”和下文的研究发现可知,本文主要讲述的是大象能感知同伴的情绪并
给予安慰。D选项“大象能理解同伴的感受”最符合文章标题。故选D。
