的创造力。1.【答案】C【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Thestudy,publishedinNature,included602peoplewhoweredividedintorandompairs.Eachpairwasgi
venfiveminutestothinkofcreativeusesforanitemsuchasaFrisbee,andthenoneminutetochoosethemostcreativeidea.(这项发表在
《自然》杂志上的研究包括了602人,他们被随机分成小组。每组有五分钟的时间思考飞盘等物品的创意用途,然后有一分钟的时间选择最具创意的想法。)”以及第二段“Somepairswereaskedtoworktogeth
eronavideocall,whileothersworkedinperson.Theresultsshowedthatthein-personpairshadmoreideasthanthevirtualp
airs.However,virtualgroupswerebetteratchoosingthebestidea.(一些组被要求一起进行视频通话,而另一些则面对面工作。结果表明,面对面组比虚拟组有更多的想法。然而,虚拟团队
更善于选择最好的主意。)”可知专家们通过研究和比较参与者的不同小组得到结果。故选C。2.【答案】B【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Theresultsshowedthatthein-personpairshadmoreideastha
nthevirtualpairs.(结果表明,面对面组比虚拟组有更多的想法。)”以及第四段“Theresultsweresimilartothefirststudy,withtheengineerswhometinpersonthinkingofmoreproductideas,
(结果与第一项研究相似,见面的工程师会想出更多的产品想法,)”可知面对面的小组适合做一些创造性的工作。故选B。3.【答案】B【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段中“However,virtualgroupswerebetteratchoosingtheb
estidea.(然而,虚拟小组在选择最佳创意方面更胜一筹。)”以及倒数第二段中“Theresultsweresimilartothefirststudy,withtheengineerswhometinpersonthinkingofmoreproductideas,andthevirtu
alpairsmakingslightlybetterdecisionsaboutwhichideatochoose.(结果与第一项研究相似,面对面的工程师会想到更多的产品创意,而虚拟配对的工程师会在选择创意方面做出更好的决定。)”可知,虚拟小组在做出选择方面
更加有优势。故B选项“DecideontherightsalesplanonWeChat.(在微信上决定正确的销售计划。)”能够突出虚拟小组的选择方面的优势,适合老板为公司决定任务。故选B。4.【答案】D【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“theresultssuggestthatbus
inessesshouldthinkcarefullyaboutwhichtaskscanbedoneonline,andwhich—likethinkingofnewideas—shouldbedoneinperson.(研究结果表明,企业应该仔细考虑哪些任务可以在网上完成,哪些任务(
就像思考新想法一样)应该亲自完成。)”可知,作者认为企业应该仔细考虑哪些任务可以在网上完成,哪些任务应该亲自完成即虚拟工作会议并不是适合所有的工作任务,有的适合有的不适合,由此体现出作者客观的态度。故选D。Text62(2023秋·河南郑州·高一校考期末)Itwa

语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新加坡国策之一的拓展训练是如何走进新加坡以及其带给新加坡的变化。5.【答案】D【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Hesaidhehadhitchhiked(搭便车)hiswayfromWalestoGerma
ny,crossingtheAlpsjusttoshowhisgreatadmirationforHahn’sextraordinaryachievements—ifthatwasnotthespiritofadventure,whatwas?(他说他从威尔士搭便车到德国,翻越阿尔卑斯山只是为
了表达他对Hahn非凡成就的钦佩——如果这不是冒险精神,那是什么?)”以及文章第三段“Despitethelimitations,thisdidnotstopyoungSingaporeansfromcontinuingtofollowinHahn’srichlega
cy(遗产)ofoutdoorlearning.(尽管有这些限制,但这并没有阻止年轻的新加坡人继续追随Hahn丰富的户外学习遗产。)”可推断,Shanmugam来到Hermannsburg的目的就是了解拓展训练。故选D
。6.【答案】B【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Overlunch,ShanmugamtoldtheeducatorthathehadcomefromafarawaycountrycalledSingapo

小伙子没有办法在新加坡进行户外培训项目是因为新加坡地势平坦,没有各种各样的地形。故选B。7.【答案】C【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第四段“In1934,asthefounderandheadmasterofGordonstounSchoolinMoray,Scotland,heask
edhisstudentstomakeregularsailingexpeditions(定期航海探险)andhill-walking.(1934年,作为苏格兰马里Gordonstoun学校的创始人和校长,他要求他的学生定期航海
探险和爬山。)”以及文章第五段“DuringtheSecondWorldWar,HahnstartedanewkindofschoolinAberdoveyinWalestotrainyouths:aone-monthc

月的课程,内容包括穿越三座山脉的探险、救援训练和当地社区的志愿工作。)”可知,这两个地区学校的共同之处在于都对学生进行户外生活技能。故选C。8.【答案】C【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““Wewantallouryoungpeopletobestrong,adaptable
andcreative.Outdooradventurelearningisespeciallyusefulingivingtheselessons,whichareveryhardtoteachintheclassroom,”saidSingapore’sPrimeMinister
LeeHsienLoong.(“我们希望我们所有的年轻人都强壮、适应能力强、富有创造力。户外冒险学习对于教授这些课程尤其有用,而这些课程在课堂上很难教授。”新加坡总理李显龙说。)”可推断,李显龙总理认为年轻人应该学习在野外生存。故选C。Text63

differentyouthsportssaythere’sanexpectationforrefereestobeperfect.Parentswanttheirchildrentoexcel,andcoachesareunder
pressuretowin.Sometimes,theysay,refereesbecomeascapegoat(替罪羊).(不同青少年体育项目的资深裁判表示,人们对裁判的期望是完美的。家长们希望自己
的孩子出类拔萃,教练们也承受着取胜的压力。他们说,有时裁判会成为替罪羊。)”可知,第一段讲的是青少年裁判的艰难处境。故选C。10.【答案】D【解析】词义猜测题。根据划线单词前一句“It’shappeninginsoccer,it’shappeninginoth
ersports,theabuse(辱骂)thatiscomingfromcoachesandparents.(在足球和其他运动中,教练和父母的辱骂都在发生。)”可知,而划线单词“it”所在句“(hasabadeff
ectonayoungkid,youngladyoryoungmanthat’soutthererefereeing对年轻的孩子、年轻的女士或年轻的男人都有不好的影响)”可知,it指的是辱骂。故选D。11.【答案】A【解析】推理判断
题。根据第五段“““I’vebeeninrinks(溜冰场)whereI’vehadtogouptoparents,andit’shappenedthreetimesthisyear,becauseyouhav
eparentsbangingontheglass,shoutingattheofficialforamissedcall(裁判员的判决).Yes,they’regonnamakemistakesandIgoupandtrytoeduca

母敲打玻璃,为裁判员的判决向工作人员大喊大叫。是的,他们会犯错误,我会去教育那个家长,“嘿,我们这里有一个13岁的孩子。你知道,我们需要他留在项目中,’”他说。)”可推断,Petterle希望父母能够多尊重青少年裁判。故选A
。12.【答案】B【解析】推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段““Forthemostpart,it’sgettingtothepointwhereyouthusedtothinkthatitwasagoodwaytoma

值得这么从事这份工作。这样的话传到他或她的朋友那里,他或她的朋友因此不会从事这份工作,”密歇根州裁判行政官Folino说。)”可推断,年轻人觉得这份工作带来的痛苦大于好处,不愿意从事这份工作。故选B。Text6

Thephrase“Longtimenosee.”iswidelyacceptedinAmerica.【答案】13.D14.A15.B16.C【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了以Longtimenosee!这句话为例,说明了美国英语不断被不同的文化所丰富的社会现象。13.细节理解题。
根据第二段中“Lateron,myfriendtoldmethatitisastandardAmericangreeting.Iwastoosurprisedtobelieveher.Herwordswereunbelievableatall.”(后来,我的朋友告诉我,这
是一个标准的美国问候。我太惊讶了,不敢相信她。她的话简直令人难以置信)可知,作者感到惊讶的是“Longtimenosee.”竟然被用作标准的美式问候语。故选D项。14.词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Allkind
sofculturesaremixedinthepottogether,andtheychangethecolourandtasteofeachother.”(各种各样的文化混合在一起,他们改变彼此的颜色和味道)即一些学者把
美国文化比喻一个巨大的文化混合物,故可猜测划线单词meltingpot为“文化的混合物”的意思。结合选项A项Amixtureofculture“文化的混合”意思一致,故选A项。15.推理判断题。根据第三段中“Inthe1930s,Hollyw
oodmovie-makerssuccessfullycreatedaworldwidefamousChinesedetectivenamed“CharlieChan”onwidescreens.Detective
ChanlikedtoteachAmericanssomeChinesewisdombyquotingConfucius.“Longtimenosee.”washissymbol.SoonafterCharlieChan,“Longtimenosee.”becamea
popularexpressioninAmericathankstothepopularityofthesemovies.”(20世纪30年代,好莱坞电影制作人成功地在大银幕上塑造了一个举世闻名的中国侦探“陈查理”。陈侦探喜欢引用孔子的话来教美国人一些中国智慧。“好久不见
”。这是他的象征。陈查理之后不久,“好久不见。”由于这些电影的流行,这句话才在美国流行起来)故可推知,是好莱坞让“Longtimenosee.”流行了起来。故选B项。16.主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“SomeexpertscompareAmericatoahugemeltingpot.
Allkindsofculturesaremixedinthepottogether,andtheychangethecolourandtasteofeachother.Languageisusuallythefirstthingtobein
fluencedinthemixedpot.”(些专家把美国比作一个巨大的熔炉,各种各样的文化混合在一起,他们改变彼此的颜色和味道。在混合的环境中,语言通常是最先受到影响的)结合文章以Longtimenosee!这句话为例,说明了美国英语不断被不同的文化所
丰富的社会现象。可知,文章的主旨是美国英语不断被不同的文化所丰富。故选C项。Text65(2023秋·山东济南·高一济南市历城第二中学校考期末)Inthismodernage,mostofushaveforgottentobepatientandgetangryveryqu

.C.Ispatiencereallyavirtue?D.Whatdoes“patience”mean?【答案】17.C18.B19.D20.C【导语】本文是议论文。作者通过现代人缺乏耐心,讲述了耐心仍旧是一种美德,是处理问题,做处正确决定必须的品德,倡
议人们要学会有耐心。17.推理判断题。根据第一段“Inthismodernage,mostofushaveforgottentobepatientandgetangryveryquicklyoverminorthing
slikeatrafficjam,ababycryingandsuchthings.(在这个现代社会,我们大多数人都忘记了要有耐心,并且会因为一些小事情很快就会生气,比如交通堵塞,婴儿哭闹等等)”提到在这个时代,我们中的大多数人都忘记了耐心,并很快
就会因为小事而生气,下文举例“Weusedtobehappytowait10-15minutesittooktoreheatfoodintheoven(烤箱),butnowwe’reimpatient
whenwaitingtwominutesittakesinthemicrowave.(我们过去很高兴等待在烤箱中重新加热食物需要的10-15分钟,但现在我们等待两分钟时就不耐烦了,这是微波炉需要的时间)”可推断作者使用加热食物的例子是为了表明现在更多的人缺乏耐心。故选C。18.推理判断题。根
据第四段的“Patienceisanexerciseinself-controlwhichshowsthatwecanexercisegoodjudgment.Lackofpatiencecancauseu
stomakewrongdecisions(耐心是一种自我控制的锻炼,表明我们可以行使良好的判断力。缺乏耐心会导致我们做出错误的决定)”可推断,有耐心的人往往会做出更好的决定。故选B。19.推理判断题。根据第五段“Sometimesweface
anobstacle(障碍)becauseweneedtogrowinwayswedidn'trealize.It'snotalwaysobviouswhenthatwashappening,butwithpatiencewewillsoonseeclearlywhyitoccurre
dandwhatweweremeanttolearnfromit.(有时我们面临一个障碍,因为我们需要以我们没有意识到的方式成长。当这种情况发生时并不总是显而易见的,但有了耐心,我们很快就会明白为什么会发生这种情况,以及我们应该从它中学到什么)”可推断,一个人应该耐心
地处理困难。故选D。20.主旨大意题。文章第一段作者提出现代人缺乏耐心,二、三段阐述耐心是一种美德;第四段阐述耐心的益处;第五段阐述处理困难要有耐心;第六段阐述做决定需要耐心。因此推断文章主要阐述耐心是一种美德。故选C。Text66(2023秋·山西运城·高一康杰中学校考期末)Thevill

reenandthevillageislovely.Inwinter,it’slikesomethingoutofasnow-coveredfairytale.Nowitisbeingoverrunwithtourists,partlybecauseitlookslike
thevillagefromthemovieFrozen.(夏天,山上绿意盎然,村庄很可爱。在冬天,它就像一个冰雪覆盖的童话故事。现在它被游客淹没了,部分原因是它看起来像电影《冰雪奇缘》中的村庄)”可
知,这个村庄很美丽,但是挤满了游客。故选B项。22.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Somelocalpeoplefeelstressedaboutit.With10,000visitorsaday,that’sover12touris
tsforeverypersoninHallstatt.Onemansaidhismotherhadwokenuponedaytofindtouristsinherbedroom.(一些当地人对此感到有压力。每天有1万名游客,在哈尔施塔特,每个人就有12名游客。一名男子
说,他母亲有一天醒来发现卧室里有游客)”可推知,文中提到这名男子的事情是想证明当地的生活受到游客的严重影响。故选B项。23.词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Beforethetourismboomed,localpeoplewouldleaveHallstatttofindwor
k.Nowmanypeopledependuponthetouristsfortheirliving.(在旅游业boomed之前,当地人会离开Hallstatt去找工作。现在许多人依靠游客生活)”可知,当地人会离开Hallstatt特去找工作是在旅游业“boom
ed”之前的事情,但在旅游业“boomed”之后,许多人依靠游客生活.由此推知,boom的意思是“快速增长,猛增”,与动词rocket意思相近。故选D项。24.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Thetown’smayorisactuall
yhopingthatmanytouristswillstayaway.(镇长其实是希望很多游客能远离)”以及第三段中的“Somelocalpeoplefeelstressedaboutit....Onemansaidhismotherhadwokenuponedaytofindtouris
tsinherbedroom.(一些当地人对此感到压力……一名男子说,他的母亲有一天醒来发现她的卧室里有游客)”可知,过多的游客给当地人们带来了很多的困扰,再结合最后一段“Nowmanypeopledependuponthetouristsfortheirliving.Ho
telroomscancostbetween$350and$450.AnditcostsoveronedollartousethepublicbathroominHallstatt.With10,000visitorsaday,eventoiletsc
anbegoodbusiness.(现在许多人依靠游客为生。酒店房间的价格在350美元到450美元之间。使用Hallstatt的公共浴室要花一美元多。每天有10,000名游客,即使是厕所也可以做生意)”可知,旅游业的发展也给人们带来了更多的收入。由此推知,旅游业的发展既给人
们带来了困扰,也使得当地人受益。故选C项。Text67(2023秋·吉林通化·高一梅河口市第五中学校考期末)Severalweeksago,Ipulledanoldroadmapoutofthegloveboxandpassedittomychildren.Theyhadne

给孩子看纸质地图的技能。25.细节理解题,根据第一段“Theystaredatthemap,askingaboutallthetowns,parks,andotherlandmarkswe’dvisit
ed,andIpointedthemoutonthemap.(他们盯着地图,询问我们去过的所有城镇、公园和其他地标,我就在地图上指出来。)”可知,孩子们对这张纸质地图非常地好奇。故选A。26.推理判断题,根据第三段“Whenkidslearnh

eirlives.Mapskillstillbelongintoday’sclassroom.(当孩子们学习如何创建和使用纸质地图时,他们所做的不仅仅是学习如何四处走动。他们实际上是在培养一种基本技能,这种技能将在他们的余生中使用。地图技能仍然属于今天的课堂。)”可知,Trevo
rMuir支持教给孩子们看纸质地图的技能。故选C。27.细节理解题。根据第五段“Lastbutnotleast,papermapsarousebigpicturethinking,showingkidsthatthere’samuc

知,作者认为纸质地图能帮助孩子形成全局思维。故选C。28.主旨大意题。综合全文内容可知,文章讲述了作者认为纸质地图对我们有很多益处,父母应该教给孩子看纸质地图的技能,所以孩子学会看纸质地图是有诸多益处的。D选项“TimetoTeachKidstoReadPaperMaps(是时候教孩子看纸
质地图了)”能够概括文章大意。故选D。Text68(2023秋·山东·高一山东省实验中学校考期末)Shouldweallowmodernbuildingstobebuiltnexttoolderbuilding

te.【答案】29.A30.D31.C32.B【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了现代建筑是否可以建在历史悠久地区的老建筑旁边。29.细节理解题。根据第一段关键句“Notallhistoricalbuildingsareattractive.”(并非所有的历史建筑都具有吸引力。
)可知,并非所有的历史建筑都具有吸引力,由此可知,从第1段中我们可以了解到不是所有的历史建筑都具有吸引力。故选A项。30.推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“Inmyview,newarchitecturalstylescanexistperfectlywellalongsideanolder
style.”(在我看来,新的建筑风格可以与旧的风格完美共存。)可知,作者认为新的建筑风格可以与旧的风格完美共存,由此可知,作者对新旧建筑共存的态度是支持的。故选D项。31.词义猜测题。根据画线短语下文“Ifwealway
sreproducedwhatwastherebefore,wewouldallstillbelivingincaves.”(如果我们总是复制以前的样子,我们都仍然会住在洞穴里。)可知,作者认为如果我们不选择新的建筑样式,总是复制以前的建
筑风格,那么现在我们将仍然会住在洞穴里,由此可知,作者认为建筑师有责任选择新的建筑样式,推动建筑的发展,“Choosenewarchitecturalstyles”意为“选择新的建筑样式”,能够表达画线短语在句中所要表达的意思。故选C项。32.推理判断题。
通读全文,结合第一段关键句“Shouldweallowmodernbuildingstobebuiltnexttoolderbuildingsinahistoricareaofacity?”(我们是否应该允许在城市历史区的老建筑旁边建造现代建筑?)可知,
文章主要针对现代建筑是否可以建在历史悠久的地区进行了争论,由此可知,文章主要目的是争论现代建筑是否可以建在历史悠久的地区。故选B项。Text69(2023秋·四川遂宁·高一射洪中学校考阶段练习)ThefamousSpanishpainterP

t【答案】33.A34.A35.B36.C【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。本文主要介绍了一些人已经意识到了人在长大时通常无法保持艺术灵性这一问题,他们想将艺术带入青少年的生活中,通过艺术教育来解决这一问题。33.推理判断题。根据第一段“Th
efamousSpanishpainterPabloPicassooncesaid,“Everychildisanartist.Theproblemhehasishowtoremainanartistoncehegrowsup.””(西班牙著名画家巴勃罗·毕加索曾说:“
每个孩子都是艺术家。他的问题是长大后如何继续做艺术家。)而下文作者开始介绍一些人是怎样解决这一问题的。由此可推出,第一段的作用是引出本文的话题。故选A项。34.细节理解题。根据第四段“Westerne
ducatorshavesuggestedthatweintroducetheconceptof“STEAM”insteadof“STEM”—traditional“coremajors”includingscience,technology,engineering,andmath—sinc
ethe“A”,whichstandsfor“art”,isjustasimportant.”(西方教育工作者建议我们引入“STEAM”的概念,而不是“STEM”——包括科学、技术、工程和数学在内的传统“核心专业”——因为“A
”所代表“艺术”同其它学科同样重要。)可知,在西方教育家看来,为什么要引入“STEAM”的概念是因为艺术和传统的“核心专业”一样重要。故选A项。35.细节理解题。根据第五段“Collegesanduniversitie
sarerequiredtoprovidemoreart-relatedcoursesandstudentsneedtoearnacertainnumberofartcreditsinordertograduate.”(高校被要求提供更多与
艺术相关的课程,学生需要获得一定数量的艺术学分才能毕业。)从中国教育部发布的指导意见中,我们能预测到大学生必须获得足够的艺术学分才能毕业。故选B项。36.主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了一些人已经意识到了人在长大时通常无法保持艺术灵性这一问题,他们想将艺术带入青少年的生活中,
通过艺术教育来解决这一问题。所以短文的最佳标题为“将艺术带入生活”。故选C项。Text70(2023秋·重庆南岸·高一重庆第二外国语学校校考期末)EnglishandChinesehaveforalongtimebeenthelanguagesmosts

拉丁美洲在世界范围内的影响力也越来越大)可知,推出,拉丁美洲说西班牙语。故选B项。38.细节理解题。根据第三段“WecanmainlyrelatethisgrowinginteresttoJapan’sculturaloutputandgeneralattractiontoitsuniquecu
lture.”(我们主要可以将这种日益增长的兴趣与日本的文化产出和其独特文化的普遍吸引力联系起来。)由此可知,文化对日语日益普及的贡献最大。故选A项。39.细节理解题。根据第四段“It’sinterestingtoseearelativelynewsu
perpowerovertakeamoreestablishedone—inlanguagetermsatleast.”(看到一个相对较新的超级大国取代一个更成熟的超级大国是很有趣的——至少在语言方面是这样。)可知,学习汉语的人比学习俄语的人多这一事实引起了作者的兴趣。故选B项。40.
主旨大意题。根据第一段“EnglishandChinesehaveforalongtimebeenthelanguagesmoststudiedaroundtheworldbutthelineupofotherlanguagesofstudyisever-changing.”(长期以来,英语和汉
语一直是世界上学习最多的语言,但其他语言的学习顺序也在不断变化。)根据最后一段“It’shardtojudgetheculturalinfluenceofacountrybutthenumberofpeoplespendingtimelearningmoreabou
titthroughitslanguageissurelyasignthatitisexerting(施加)influence.”(很难判断一个国家的文化影响力,但花时间通过语言了解这个国家的人的数量无疑是一个信号,表明这个国家正在发挥影响力。
)可知,短文的最佳标题为“语言学习的变化”。故选C项。
