citingbicyclerideonthetime-honoredCityWallofXi’an”及Route2中的“TrybikingontheMingDynastyCityWallofXi'an”可知，这两条路线的共同之处是

都有骑行活动，故B项正确。【22题详解】细节理解题。根据Route2中的“EnjoytheThreeGorgessceneryonYangtzeRiver”可知，在Route2中你可以欣赏到长江三峡风光，也就是说Route2的特别之处是你可以参观三

峡大坝，故C项正确。【23题详解】细节理解题。根据Route4中的“CometoChengdu，thehometownofgiantpandastovisitandobservethecutecreature”可知，在Route4中你可以看到中国的珍稀动物大熊猫，故D项正确。【

答案】24.B25.D26.A27.D【解析】本文是议论文。文章论述了中国人和美国人对待友谊的不同观点和方式。【24题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“ThiscanbequitedifficultforusChin

esetounderstand”，其中“usChinese”表明作者是一名中国人。故选B项。【25题详解】细节理解题。文章第三段中提到“TheAmericans…expresstheirwelcomeusuallyathomes,”和“Wewillfindo

urselvestreatedhospitably”；最后一段中提到“Soaccepttheirhospitalityathome!”。由此可知，当我们到美国访问一位美国朋友时，我们可能会在美国朋友的家里受到热情款待。故选D项。【26题详解】词句猜测题。划线词前一句提到“althoug

htheyincludeuswarmlyintheirpersonaleverydaylives,theydon’tshowtheirpolitenesstousifitrequiresagreatd

ealoftime.Thisisusuallytheoppositeofthepracticeinourcountry（尽管美国人在他们的日常生活中热情地对待我们，但如果需要花费大量的时间，他们就不会表现出他们的礼貌。这通常与我

们国家的做法相反）”。由此可以猜测，“generouswithourtime”意思为“在时间上很慷慨，愿意付出很多时间”。故选A项。【27题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，文章第一段中提到“ThiscanbequitedifficultforusCh

inesetounderstand”，美国人对待友情的方式让中国人难以理解；第三段首句提到“AnotherdifficultpointforusChinesetounderstand…”，另外一点中国人难以理解的是美国在对待朋友上，如果需要花很多时间，他们就不会表现出礼貌

。由此可知，文章说明了美国人和中国人对友谊方面的不同观点和做法。文章标题应为“美国人和中国人对友谊的不同观点”。故选D项。【答案】28.B29.A30.C31.A【解析】试题分析：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者

小的时候，父亲对她很严厉，但是现在作者长大了，带着孩子回去看望父亲的时候，父亲变得很慈爱很温和，让她看到了父亲另外一面。【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“AsachildIlovedhim;asaschoolgirlandyoun

gadultIfearedhimandfeltbitterabouthim.HeseemedunhappywithmeunlessIgotstraightAandunhappywithmyboyfriendsiftheirfatherswerenotas“

successful”ashewas.”（作为一个女生和年轻人，我害怕他，他让我痛苦万分。除非我得A，否则他似乎对我不满意；如果我的男朋友的父亲不如他成功，他似乎也对我不满意）可知，父亲让作者感到痛苦是因为父亲对

她的期待很高，故选B。【29题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“WheneverIwentoutwithhimonweekends,Iusedtostruggletothinkupthingstosay,feelingonguard”（每当我周末和

他出去，我总是很难想出要说的话，生怕说错话惹他生气）可知，周末和父亲在一起的时候，作者感到很紧张，故选A。【30题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“Goneweremyfather’scritical(挑剔的)airandstrictrules.WhowasthispersonIkne

wasmyfather,whoseemedsofriendlyandinterestingtobearound?Whathadheldhimbackbefore”可知，以前那个刻板和严厉的父亲已经没有了，代替的是一个很友好慈爱的父亲（作者认为父亲

变得温和又友好），故选C。【31题详解】词句猜测题。根据最后一段最后一句“I’mdelightedwithmynewfriend.Mydad,inhisnewhomeinArizona,isbacktomefromwherehewas.”可知，我父亲，在他亚利桑那州的新家里，回到了我身边，由

，拒绝的时候不用夹带一句道歉。换句话说，说句对不起并不能让被拒绝的人感觉更好受点。事实上这可能会使被拒绝者感觉更糟。【32题详解】细节理解题。结合文章第一段最后一句：Manypeopleconsiderittobegoodma

nnerstosaytheyaresorrywhentheyturndownarequest.（很多人认为在拒绝某个请求时表示抱歉是有礼貌。）故：选择D项。【33题详解】细节理解题。结合第二段第二句：Forherresearch,sheaskedover1,000peo

orwas.Mostsaidtheywouldbemorehurtbyarejectionwithanapologythanarejectionwithoutanapology.（人们被问到，如果他们像泰勒一样被拒绝，他们会有什么感觉？大多数表示，与拒绝不道歉相比，他们会被拒

绝加道歉伤得更深。）可知，选项D错误。故：选择C项。【34题详解】细节理解题。结合文章倒数第二段的最后一句：Freedmanalsosaidthatanapologyoftenmakesthepersondoingtherejectionfeelbetter—evenasitmakest

hepersonbeingrejectedfeelworse.（弗雷曼还表示，道歉通常让拒绝者感觉更好过，即使这会让被拒绝者感觉更糟。）可知，选项D：这会让拒绝的人感觉更好。和文章的意义一致。故：选择D项。

【35题详解】推理判断题。结合最后一段的表达：Herresearchdealsonlywithsocialcommunication.Abusinesssituationmightbeverydifferent.“Ifamanagerrejectsajobintervieweeorabo

ssmusttellanemployeethatheorsheisbeingfiredfromajob,”Freedmansaid,“reactionstoapologiesmaybedifferent.”（她的研究只涉及社交互动。商务

场合可能会有很大不同。弗雷曼表示，如果一位经理拒绝一位求职者，或是一位老板必须要开除一名员工，对道歉的反应可能会有所不同。）可以推断出，在接下来的表达中将会涉及商务场合。故：选择C项。【答案】36.E37.D
