theirdoorstohelpprotecttheircommunitiesfromthespreadofCOVID-19.“可知，在宣布獲獎?wù)?/p>

后不久，這些博物館不得不關(guān)閉它們的大門，以幫助保護其社區(qū)免受COVID-19傳播的影響。

由此可知，新冠疫情的傳播導(dǎo)致兒童博物館不得不關(guān)門。故選A。

『2題詳解』

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)CityMuseum|St.Louis,Missouri中“Thisseriestakesplaceeach

『分析』

這是一篇記敘文。文章主要通過講述作者發(fā)明無袋吸塵器的經(jīng)歷，揭示了“失敗為成功

之母”的道理。

『4題詳解』

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段末尾句內(nèi)容“Ihatedchangingthevacuumcleaner（真空吸塵

器）bagandpickingupthingsthemachinedidnotsuckup.Twentyyearslater,in1978,withthis

lifelongdislikeofthewaythemachineworked,Idecidedtomakeabaglessone.（我討厭換真空

吸塵器的袋子，討厭把吸塵器吸不進去的東西撿起來。二十年后，也就是1978年，我對這

臺機器的工作方式一直很反感，于是決定做一臺無袋的。）“可知，對于真空吸塵器的反感導(dǎo)

致了作者研制一種無袋吸塵器。故選D項。

5題詳解』

主旨大意題。通讀文章第二段內(nèi)容，可知其段落結(jié)構(gòu)為總分總結(jié)構(gòu)，首句內(nèi)容“Easiersaid

thandone,ofcourse.（當(dāng)然，說起來容易做起來難。）”和末尾句內(nèi)容“Theseweretoughtimes,

buteachfailurebroughtmeclosertosolvingtheproblem.（這是艱難的時刻，但每一次失敗都讓

我離解決問題更近了一步。）”點明本段主旨要義，即：作者發(fā)明無袋吸塵器過程中遇到的一

些困難。選項C.Thetoughprocessofthenewinvention.（這項新發(fā)明的艱難過程。）貼合主旨。

故選C項。

『6題詳解』

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段內(nèi)容“Themajorvacuummakershadbuiltabusinessmodel

basedontheprofitsfrombagsandfilters.Noonewouldlicensemyidea,notbecauseitwasabad

one,butbecauseitwasbadforbusiness.（主要的吸塵器制造商建立了一種基于包裝袋和過濾

器利潤的商業(yè)模式。沒有人會批準(zhǔn)我的想法，不是因為它不好，而是因為它不利于生意。y

可知，沒人會認可作者的想法是因為真空吸塵器的包裝袋和過濾器能夠給商家?guī)碛?，?/p>

作者發(fā)明的無袋吸塵器會使商家失去原有的能夠帶來盈利的部分，因此商家擔(dān)心其不能帶來

盈利反而可能會導(dǎo)致?lián)p失。故選A項。

『7題詳解』

推理判斷題。作者在文章末尾點明主旨，揭示道理：Today,Istillembraceriskandthe

potentialforfailureaspartoftheprocess.Nothingbeatstheexcitementofinvention^今天，我彳乃

然接受風(fēng)險和失敗的可能性作為過程的一部分。沒有什么能比得上發(fā)明帶來的興奮。）可知，

作者的“無袋吸塵器''發(fā)明經(jīng)歷使他明白了風(fēng)險和失敗在發(fā)明過程中是可能存在的。選項B.

Failureisthemotherofsuccess.（失敗是成功之母。）正確陳述了作者的領(lǐng)悟。故選B項。

C

1答案」8.D9.D10.B11.C

『分析』這是一篇說明文。短文介紹了“良好的壓力“對我們的健康有益”，事實上，“良

好的壓力”可能有助于我們保持年輕、有魅力，甚至活得更長。

「詳解」1.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第一句"DrMariosKyriazis,ananti-ageingexpert,

pointsoutthatwhathe.calls"goodstress'1isbeneficialtoourhealthandmay,infact,helpus

stayyoungandattractiveandevenlivelonger.^^（抗衰老專家MariosKyriazis博士指出，他所

謂的“良好壓力”有益于我們的健康，事實上，可能幫助我們保持年輕，有魅力，甚至活得更

久。）可知，Kyriazis博士的觀點可能基于壓力和健康之間的關(guān)系。故選D。

2.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)上文中“AccordingtoDrKyriazis,runningforabusorhavingtowork

tomeetadeadlineareexamplesof“goodstress”,thatissituationswithshort-termorlowstress.

Thestressusuallymakesusreactquickly,andgivesusasenseofachievement-wedidit!（就是

短期或低壓力的情況。壓力通常會讓我們反應(yīng)迅速，給我們一種成就感——我們做到了?。?/p>

根據(jù)上文'"Infact,thebody*sresponseisgreaterthanisneededtorepairthedamage”可知，事實

上，人體的反應(yīng)大于修復(fù)損傷所需的反應(yīng)，所以短期或低壓力實際上使細胞比以前更強壯。）

可以推知，此處“it”指的是“短期或低壓力”。故選D。

3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)"OtherstressfulactivitiesthatKyriazissuggestsasfeeinggoodstress

includeredecoratingaroominyourhouseovertheweekend,packingyoursuitcaseinahurrytoreach

theairportontime,orshoppingfbradinnerpartyduringyourlunchbreak.”（Kyriazis建議的其

他有壓力的活動包括感覺良好的壓力，周末在家里裝修房間，快速打包你的西裝準(zhǔn)時到達機

場，或者在午休時間去參加一個晚宴。）可知，在最后一分鐘打包行李去旅行可能是好的壓

力。故選B。

4.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段“However,somemedicalexpertsnowbelievethatcertainkinds

ofstressmayactuallybegoodforus.”然而，一些醫(yī)學(xué)專家現(xiàn)在相信，某些種類的壓力實際上

可能對我們有益。根據(jù)第二段“DrMariosKyriazis,ananti-ageingexpert,pointsoutthatwhathe

calls"goodstress“isbeneficialtoourhealthandmay,infact,helpusstayyoungandattractive

andevenlivelonger.”抗衰老專家馬里奧斯?基里亞齊斯博士指出，他所說的“良好的壓力”對

我們的健康有益，事實上，可能有助于我們保持年輕、有魅力，甚至活得更長。所以短文的

最佳標(biāo)題為“承受壓力，保持年輕“。故選C。

r解析」

本文是一篇說明文，文章第一段告訴我們終生學(xué)習(xí)是非常重要的，接著介紹了促進孩子

形成終生學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣的三個建議。

『12題詳解』

猜測詞義題。根據(jù)劃線詞后句“Thisway,wehelpchildrenmakeconnectionsbetweenwhat

they'relearningatschoolandtheworldbeyondtheirclassroom.”可知，通過提問可以把學(xué)校所

學(xué)的知識和外面的世界聯(lián)系在一起，也就是說提問可以喚醒激發(fā)人們的好奇心。由此推知，

劃線詞的意思為“喚醒”，與awaken同義。故選B。

『13題詳解』

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第三句"Ialwaysquote（引述）herwhenthekidssaythey'reafraid

todoorlearnsomethingbecausetheymightdoitwrongormakeamistake.”（當(dāng)孩子們說因為害

怕做錯或者犯錯而不敢去做或者學(xué)習(xí)一些東西時，我總是引用她的話）可知，作者經(jīng)常引述

MissFrizzle的話。由此推知，他贊成MissFrizzle的觀點。故選D。

『14題詳解』

推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段的“"Learningthroughexperience,notjustfrombooks,isone

生活和工作的最佳途徑之一）可推知，通過親身經(jīng)歷學(xué)到的知識是難以忘記的，會非常有用。

D項“TellmeandIforget,teachmeandImayremember,involvemeandIleam.,,（告訴我，我

會忘記；教我，我可能會記?。粎⑴c其中，我就學(xué)會了）中involvemeandIlearn正是通過

親身經(jīng)歷的學(xué)習(xí)。故選D。

『15題詳解』

推理判斷題。文章第一段告訴我們終生學(xué)習(xí)是非常重要的，接著介紹了促進孩子形成終

生學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣的三個建議，屬于與教育相關(guān)的內(nèi)容。由此推知，這一內(nèi)容應(yīng)該出現(xiàn)在報紙上的

教育專欄。故選C。
