III.1.greetings考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。句意:雙方領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人互相問候，然后坐下來會談。

exchanged后面需用名詞作賓語。exchangegreetings意為"相互問候”。

k)adof意為“看,聽”。

3.cun-ently考查副詞。此處用副詞作狀語。

6.which考查定語從句。此處為非限制性定語從句，先行詞為amarble

I.A

語篇解讀本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了加州鐵路博物館的歷史、營業(yè)時

間以及收費(fèi)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)等相關(guān)信息。

1.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段最后一句Here,visitorscanlearnalotaboutthe

historyoftherailroadinCaliforniaandtheWestinAmericaintheexhibition.可知，在

這里,游客可以了解到很多關(guān)于加利福尼亞和美國西部的鐵路的歷史的事情。故C

項表述正確,為正確答案。根據(jù)Hours&Tickets下的Themuseumisopenfrom10

a.mto5p.m.daily(exceptThanksgiving,ChristmasandNewYear'sDay).可知，博物

館每日開放時間為上午10時至下午5時（感恩節(jié)、圣誕節(jié)和元旦除外）。故A項

表述錯誤。根據(jù)文章第一段第二句Completedatacostof$16.1million,the

museumopenedinMay1981.可知，該博物館于1981年5月對外開放。故B項表述

錯誤。D項在文章未提及。

2.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Hours&Tickets下的Ticketsaresolduntil4:30p.m.$12

adults,$6students,childrenaged5andunderare6ee.可知,門票賣到下午4:30,成人

12美元，學(xué)生6美元,5歲以下的兒童免費(fèi)。因此可知如果一個4歲的男孩和他的

父母一起參觀博物館，他們應(yīng)該支付12x2=24美元。故正確答案為C。

3.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)FoodService下的TheSilverPalaceRestaurantinthe

CentralPacificRailroadPassengerStationservesgoodfoodattherightprices.ltis

justoneblocksouthwestofthemainentrancetothemuseum.可知，該餐廳提供物美

價廉的食物。這個餐廳就在博物館正門西南方向，有一個街區(qū)的距離。因此可知

該餐廳值得一去。故正確答案為A。B項以及C項與文意不符。D項在文中未提

及。

B

語篇解讀本文是一篇說明文。文章講述了一幅人工智能創(chuàng)作的肖像被賣出大大

超出預(yù)期的價格并介紹了人工智能藝術(shù)品與人造藝術(shù)品之間的區(qū)別及人工智能

藝術(shù)品的創(chuàng)造過程。

4.A推理判斷題。根據(jù)前兩段的內(nèi)容可知,這個作品是有史以來第一個被大型

拍賣行拍賣的人工智能創(chuàng)作的作品，并且拍出了不錯的價錢。由此可推斷出，人工

智能畫像得到了人們的認(rèn)可。故選A項。B項“人工智能藝術(shù)品幾乎沒有真正

的藝術(shù)價值”的表述不正確,C項“科技總有一天會取代人類藝術(shù)家”和D項“現(xiàn)

在的藝術(shù)沒有類似的人工智能系統(tǒng)”在文中無相關(guān)信息。

5.C詞義猜測題。根據(jù)上下文可推斷出，畫線詞所在句
