【答案】21.B22.D23.A

【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇應(yīng)用文，文章主要介紹了吉隆坡的四家各具特色的餐館。

21.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章MunfsPlace部分的"Nothingbringsmorecomfortthanmom'scooking.With

recipesinspiredbytheowners5mother,thisrestaurantbringsyouNyonyadishesthataretrulyMalaysian.（沒

有什么比媽媽做的菜更讓人舒服的了。這家餐廳的食譜靈感來自老板的母親，為您帶來真正的馬來西

亞娘惹菜。）”以及YumYumRestaurant部分的"SituatedinthebeautifulShangri-LaHotel,YumYum

Restaurantisamongthelocals5manyfavouritespotstodineat.ItoffersaninterestingNyonyaandThai

當(dāng)?shù)厝俗钕矚g的用餐地點之一。它提供有趣的娘惹菜和泰國菜，受到中國的影響，使它們脫穎而出。

可知Mum飛PlaceandYumYumRestaurant的共同之處在于這兩家餐廳都提供娘惹菜。故選B項。

22.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章TroikaSkyDining部分的“Itservesaward-winningFrench,Italian,Greek,and

Spanishfoodandadventurousmenuofhigh-endpizzasandpasta.（它提供一流的法國，意大利，希臘，和

西班牙的食物和冒險菜單的高端披薩和意大利面。）”可知TroikaSkyDining提供西方食物。故選D項。

23.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章Cantaloupe部分的“Unlikemostrestaurants,foodisself-servicehere,with

dishesplacedoncateringpansforcustomerstochoosefrom.（與大多數(shù)餐館不同的是，這里的食物是自助

的，盤子里的菜供顧客選擇。戶可知Cantaloupe的特殊之處在于它是一家自助餐廳。故選A項。

【答案】24.C25.A26.B27.A

【導(dǎo)語】本文為夾敘夾議文。作者通過講述自己博士生的經(jīng)歷，討論了在研究生院時，如何避免過度

工作和壓力，保持身心健康，提高個人工作效率。

24.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“"Areyouallright?"thestudentaskedasshepassedmeinthehallway.Iwas

inthefinalstretchoflastworkbeforewritingmyessay.Thestudent,whowas4yearsbehindmeinthe

samePh.D.program,wentontosay,“Iseepeoplefi-omyourgroupworkingsomuch,puttinginextrahours,

evenatnight.”（“你沒事吧?”那個學(xué)生在走廊里從我身邊經(jīng)過時問道。在寫論文之前，我正處于最后一

項工作的最后階段。那個比我晚4年讀博士的學(xué)生接著說：“我看到你們組的人工作很努力，加班加

點，甚至在晚上也加班。"）”可知，這個學(xué)生關(guān)注作者的情況，詢問作者身體狀況，所以是很關(guān)心作

者。故選C項。

25.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“Asafirst-yearPh.D.student,Iwasluckytohavekindandunderstanding

advisers.ButIfeltoverwhelmingpressuretobecomeaperfectstudent.Ikeptfindingamillionreasonswhy

Iwascomingintograduateschoolatadisadvantagecomparedwithmypeers.AsastudentfromColombia,I

生，我很幸運有善良、善解人意的導(dǎo)師。但我感到了成為一個完美學(xué)生的巨大壓力。我一直在找無數(shù)

個理由，為什么我進(jìn)入研究生院時，與同齡人相比處于劣勢。作為一名來自哥倫比亞的學(xué)生，我在教

授和同事們從未聽說過的機構(gòu)接受教育，我說話的口音讓人聽不懂，而且我比同齡人中的大多數(shù)人都

年長）”可知，作者在剛開始的時候感到壓力很大，擔(dān)心自己的口音和年齡，所以起初作者是感覺焦慮

的。故選A項。

26.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)前文“Icrashedfromburnout.（我精疲力竭了）”以及后文"Duringoneofmany

mindlessSundaysintheoffice,IrealizedI'dfallenintothetrapofassumingmycolleagues5workhabits

werethestandardforbelongingandbeingworthyofrespect-anditwasn'tsustainable.（在辦公室里度過的

一個毫無頭腦的星期天里，我意識到自己掉進(jìn)了一個陷阱，以為同事的工作習(xí)慣就是歸屬感和值得尊

重的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)——而這是不可持續(xù)的）”可知，作者精疲力竭，在辦公室工作時，毫無頭緒，所以疲勞影響

了他的工作效率，推知tookatollon是“對……有負(fù)面影響”之意，和B項意思相近。故選B項。

27.推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段"Fromthenon,IstoppedcountingthenumberofworkhoursIwas

puttingin,leavingspaceeverydayforexercisinganddoingactivitiesthatIenjoyed.Eventually,Irealized

nobodywaskeepingtrackoftheamountoftimeIspentinthelabanywayanditwasn'tsomethingIneeded

終，我意識到?jīng)]有人記錄我在實驗室里花了多少時間，這不是我需要擔(dān)心的事情）”以及最后一段“So,

作者主要想要告訴讀者健康的工作與生活平衡很重要。故選A項。

【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。文章主要說明了電視改變了政治的傳播以及交流形式。如今的政治演講比

過去更像廣告，知情公民需要一套新的技能來應(yīng)對。

28.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段"Thestumpspeech,apoliticalspeechgivenbytravelingpoliticiansand

lasting1to2hours,whichwaspopularinthenineteenth-century,hasgivenwaytothe30-second

advertisementandthe10second"soundbite"inbroadcastnews.（19世紀(jì)流行的政治演說，即政治家在旅

行中發(fā)表的持續(xù)1到2小時的政治演說，已經(jīng)被30秒的廣告和10秒的廣播新聞“聲音片段”所取代）”

可知，“政治演說”是一種典型的十九世紀(jì)的政治表現(xiàn)。故選C。

29.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段"Relianceontelevisionmeansthatincreasinglyourpoliticalworldcontains

memorablepicturesratherthanmemorablewords.Schoolsteachustoanalyzewordsandprint.However,in

aworldinwhichpoliticsisincreasinglyvisual,informedcitizenshiprequiresanewsetofskills.（對電視的

依賴意味著，我們的政治世界越來越多地充斥著令人難忘的畫面，而不是令人難忘的話語。學(xué)校教我

們分析文字和印刷品。然而，在一個政治日益可視化的世界里，知情的公民需要一套新的技能）”可推

知，公民需要學(xué)習(xí)如何評價視覺政治形象。故選D。

30.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段"Muchofthepoliticalactivityweseeontelevisionnewshasbeencrafted

費。新聞中的插話和辯論中對問題的回答越來越像廣告）''可知，今天的政治演講比過去更像廣告。故

31.主旨大意題。通讀全文，并根據(jù)第一段“TelevisionhastransformedpoliticsintheUnitedStatesby

changingthewayinwhichinformationisspread,byalteringpoliticalcampaigns,andbychangingcitizen's

patternsofresponsetopolitics.（電視改變了信息傳播的方式，改變了政治運動，改變了公民對政治的反

應(yīng)模式，從而改變了美國的政治）”可知，文章主要說明了電視改變了政治的傳播以及交流形式。如今

的政治演講比過去更像廣告。A選項“電視：政治變革的推動者”最符合文章標(biāo)題。故選A。
