D.ComputerStudies.【解析】選C。細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)WebDesign部分中的“StudentscompletingthecoursewillreceivetheDiplomainAdvancedWebDesign”可知,該課程會(huì)給完成課程的學(xué)生頒發(fā)結(jié)業(yè)證書(shū),另外三門(mén)課程均未提到頒發(fā)證書(shū),故C項(xiàng)符合題意。23.HowmuchwillastudentwhoattendsonlyhalfofalltheWoodworklessonspayintotal?A.$30. B.$180.C.$250. D.$360.【解析】選B。數(shù)字計(jì)算題。依據(jù)Woodwork部分中的“Time:Mon.5pm—7pm”可知,該課程每周一開(kāi)一次課;依據(jù)該部分中的“$30perlesson”可知,每次課程要花費(fèi)30美元;依據(jù)該部分中的“Length:12weeks”可知,該課程持續(xù)12周,即12次課。由此可知,上全部課程須要$30×12=$360,上一半的課程須要180美元,故選B項(xiàng)。BItisrightlysaidonecanshareanysecretwithatruefriend.Hemayknowyourdeepestfearsandweaknessesandyetwillnevertakeadvantageofyou.However,keepingafriend’ssecretstoyourselfandnottellingtheworldiswhatmakesthebondgrowstrongandlastforever.Youneedtodeveloptrustandmutual(相互的)understandingbeforeyoustartsharingsecretswitheachother.Withfriends,secrettalksneverseemtoendanditcangetreallyamusingtoknowwhathasbeengoingoninyourfriend’smind.Thereisacertaintimeinlifeespeciallyfromtheteenageyearswhenonestartshavingapersonalperiphery(界限)inlifeandparentsareexcluded(排斥)fromit.Itisbecausetherearecertainthingsthattheycan’tunderstandandwecan’tdiscusswiththem.Thatiswhenfriendsbecomethebestsecretsharers.Theyaretheonestowhomonerevealsone’sfeelingsandbestkeptsecrets.Itisageneralbeliefthatonlygirlssharesecrets.Butboyshavetheirownsecretsthattheydiscusswithonlyclosestfriends.Thesecrettalkscanrange(改變)fromrelationships,talksaboutfightswithparents,secretactivitiesandanythingthatisnotsupposedtobeknowntoothers!Ifyouthinksecretsarelimitedtoonlyteenagers,getyourfactsright!Secretscanbesharedatanyageandthereisnohardandfastrulethatsecretsaresharedonlyamongyoungsters.Sharingsecretswithafriendisnotjustfun,butitalsohelpstodevelopalastingtrustinoneanother.Sometimes,sharingsecretswilltellyoumoreabouttheperson.Youwillcometoknowwhetheryourfriendisreliableandtrustworthyandwhetheritisworthsharingyoursecretswiththem.Youcancallitatestoffriendship.【文章大意】這是一篇說(shuō)明文,說(shuō)明人在成長(zhǎng)的過(guò)程中總有一些連父母都不能溝通的事情,此時(shí)只有和真正的摯友才可以共享,這樣可以解決一些自己不能解決的問(wèn)題,也可以考驗(yàn)真正的友情。24.WhatdoesParagraph2mainlytrytoshow?A.Parentsarealwaysthebestpeopletosharesecretswith.B.Teenagersprefertosharesecretswiththeirfriends.C.Parentsshouldbuildtrustwithteenagers.D.Teenagersgrowtobeindependent.【解析】選B。推理推斷題。依據(jù)其次段第一句話Thereisacertaintimeinlifeespeciallyfromtheteenageyearswhenonestartshavingapersonalperipheryinlifeandparentsareexcludedfromit.和倒數(shù)其次句話Thatiswhenfriendsbecomethebestsecretsharers.可知本段主要試圖表明青少年更喜愛(ài)和他們的摯友共享他們的隱私。25.Theunderlinedword“reveals”inParagraph2canbebestreplacedby______.

A.provesB.tellsC.getsD.holds【解析】選B。詞義揣測(cè)題。依據(jù)上文的Thatiswhenfriendsbecomethebestsecretsharers.可知青少年喜愛(ài)將自己的感情和隱私告知自己的摯友。因此可推想畫(huà)線單詞的意思是“告知”。26.Whatcanbelearnedaboutsharingsecrets?A.It’slimitedtogirls.B.Itfollowsstrictrules.C.Itcanhappenatanyage.D.Itdoesharmtoastrongbond.【解析】選C。細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)倒數(shù)其次段最終一句Secretscanbesharedatanyageandthereisnohardandfastrulethatsecretsaresharedonlyamongyoungsters.可知共享隱私可以發(fā)生在任何年齡。27.Whatisanadvantageofsharingsecretswithafriend?A.Ithelpsalotinyourstudy.B.Itleadsyoutoacarefreelife.C.Itmakesyoupopularwithotherpeople.D.Itcontributestoalong-termmutualbelief.【解析】選D。細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)文章最終一段第一句Sharingsecretswithafriendisnotjustfun,butitalsohelpstodevelopalastingtrustinoneanother.可知與摯友共享的好處在于它有助于建立長(zhǎng)期的信任。CWhenhetellspeoplethatheisdeaf,OliverStabbeiscalledaliar.“Theideathatdeafpeoplecannotspeakisaveryoffensiveassumption,”thesophomore(大二學(xué)生)said.Stabbe’sexperiencespeaksofmanyofthemisunderstandingsaboutdeafpeopleandthestrugglestheyface—thingscommonlyfoundrightinRochester.Thiscityishometo90,000deafpeople,asignificantsliceofthemorethan1.1millionnationalpopulation.Thepercentageofdeafpeoplehereishigherthanthenationalaverage,dueinparttoRIT’sNationalTechnicalInstitutefortheDeaf,thefirsttechnologicalcollegeintheworldcreatedspecificallyforthedeafandhardofhearing.“Really,thereseemstobeanembarrassmentincommunicatingwithdeafpeople,”saidsophomoreStephenDavis,anotherdeafstudent.Thisawkwardnessmightarisebecausenon-deafpeoplejustdon’tknowhowtodosowithoutpossiblyoffendingsomeone.“Iguesstheythinksaying’deaf’isoffensive,butitreallyisn’tanddeafpeopledon’tgetupsetaboutit,”Davissaid.Henotedthatthebiggestissuehe’shadwhencommunicatingwithotherstudentsistheiranxietyaboutcommunicating.Deaforhard-of-heatingstudentsalsofacefrustrations(令人心煩的事)ontheirendwheninteractingwithothers.“Sometimespeopletalkaboutyou,maybetoanon-deaffriendstandingbesideme,asifI’mnotthere,”Davissaid.“That’sdepressing.”AsDavisputit“Wedon’tseeourselvesasthedisabled,sotheawkwardnessisonlyone-sided.”Stabbeadvisedthatthosecommunicatingshouldnotmakeassumptionsaboutothers’preferencesorability.Ifyouhaveaquestion,ask.Amomentofawkwardnessisabsolutelyworthitifyouarebeingeducatedaboutanimportanttopic.【文章大意】本文為一篇記敘文。與耳聾者閑聊可能讓人覺(jué)得很尷尬,但是對(duì)于耳聾者OliverStabbe和StephenDavis來(lái)說(shuō),“聾”并不是不能提的事。28.WhyaretheremoredeafpeopleinRochester?A.Deafpeoplehavesomeprivilegeshere.B.Deafpeoplemaygetbetterjobopportunitieshere.C.Deafpeoplemeetfewerstruggleshere.D.Aprofessionalschoolforthedeafappealstothem.【解析】選D。細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)其次段中的“Thepercentageofdeafpeoplehereishigherthanthenationalaverage,dueinparttoRIT’sNationalTechnicalInstitutefortheDeaf,thefirsttechnologicalcollegeintheworldcreatedspecificallyforthedeafandhardofhearing.”可知,這里耳聾者的百分比高于全國(guó)平均水平,部分緣由是這里有世界上第一所特地為耳聾和有聽(tīng)力障礙的人設(shè)立的學(xué)院,答案為D。29.WhatmayembarrasspeoplewhencommunicatingwiththedeafaccordingtoDavis?A.Theyareafraidofupsettingthedeaf.B.Theyareunwillingtocommunicate.C.Theydon’tknowanysimplegestures.D.Theydon’tchallengeenoughassumptions.【解析】選A。細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)第三段中的“Thisawkwardnessmightarisebecausenon-deafpeoplejustdon’tknowhowtodosowithoutpossiblyoffendingsomeone.”(這種尷尬可能會(huì)出現(xiàn),因?yàn)椴幻@的人不知道如何與耳聾的人閑聊而又不冒犯對(duì)方)可知,與耳聾的人閑聊會(huì)出現(xiàn)尷尬是因?yàn)椴幻@的人膽怯 讓耳聾的人不興奮。30.WhatkindofpersonisStephenDavis?A.Sensitiveandtalkative.B.Reasonableandreliable.C.Outspokenandaggressive.D.Confidentandintelligent.【解析】選D。推理推斷題。依據(jù)第三段中Davis通過(guò)細(xì)心視察得出結(jié)論可推知,他是一個(gè)聰慧的人;依據(jù)第四段中的“Wedon’tseeourselvesasthedisabled,sotheawkwardnessisonlyone-sided”可知,他不認(rèn)為自己是殘疾人,由此推斷他是一個(gè)很自信的人?！靖蓴_項(xiàng)分析】依據(jù)文中信息無(wú)法推斷出他是一個(gè)敏感且擅長(zhǎng)交談的人,故解除A項(xiàng);B項(xiàng)(理智且牢靠的),雖然能從文中看出來(lái)他是理智的,但看不出來(lái)他是牢靠的;C項(xiàng)(直率且好強(qiáng)的),從文中他說(shuō)的話可看出他是直率的,但看不出他好強(qiáng),故不選。31.Whatcanbethebesttitleofthetext?A.WecanhearyourheartB.“Deaf”isnotabadwordC.DeafpeoplearenotliarsD.Embarrassmentisone-sided【解析】選B。標(biāo)題推斷題。依據(jù)上下文可知,耳聾者OliverStabbe和StephenDavis認(rèn)為“聾”不是一件令人難以啟齒的事,與他們閑聊出現(xiàn)尷尬是不聾的人單方面造成的,故B項(xiàng)(“聾”并不是不好的詞)最能概括文章的主旨。DMilenaCanningcanseesteamrisingfromacoffeecupbutnotthecup.Shecanseeherdaughter’sponytailswingfromsidetoside,butshecan’tseeherdaughter.Canningisblind,yetmovingobjectssomehowfindawayintoherperception.Scientistsstudyingherconditionsayitcouldrevealsecretsabouthowhumansprocessvisioningeneral.Canningwas29whenastrokedestroyedherentireoccipitallobe,thebrainregionhousingthevisualsystem.Theeventlefthersightless,butoneday—shesawaflashoflightfromametallicgiftbagnexttoher.Herdoctorstoldheritwasanillusion.Nevertheless,“Ithoughttheremustbesomethinghappeningwithinmybrainallowingmetosee,”shesays.ShewentfromdoctortodoctoruntilshemetGordonDutton,anophthalmologist(眼科醫(yī)生)inGlasgow,Scotland.Duttonhadencounteredthismysterybefore—ina1917paperbyneurologist(神經(jīng)病學(xué)家)GeorgeRiddochdescribingbrain-injuredWORLDWarⅠsoldiers.Canningisoneofahandfulofpeoplewhohavebeendiagnosedwiththe“Riddochphenomenon”,theabilitytoperceivemotionwhileblindtoothervisualstimulator.JodyCulham,aneuroscientistatWesternScansofCanning’sheadrevealedanapple-sizedholewherethevisualcortex(視覺(jué)皮質(zhì))shouldbe.Butthedamageapparentlysparedthebrain’smotion-processingregion,themiddletemporal(MT)visualarea.“AllthecreditforCanning’sperceptionmustgotoanintactMT,”saysBeatricedeGelder,aneuroscientistatMaastrichtUniversityintheNetherlands,whowasnotinvolvedinthestudy.ThenextmysteryishowinformationfromtheeyesgetstotheMTwithouttravelingthroughthevisualcortex.“Ithinkoftheprimaryvisualpathwayasahighway.InMilena’scase,thehighwayisadeadend,butthereareallthesesideroadsthatgototheMT,”Culhamsays.“It’sgottobeoneoftheseindirectroutes,butwearenotyetsurewhichone.”【文章大意】本文為科普文。盲人米萊娜·坎寧可以看到從咖啡杯中升起的蒸汽,但不能看到杯子。探討表明移動(dòng)物體以某種方式進(jìn)入她的視覺(jué),這可能揭示了人類(lèi)如何處理視覺(jué)的隱私。32.WhichofthefollowingisMilenaCanningmostlikelytosee?A.Aphotoofsteamrising.B.Herdaughter’sponytail.C.Aballonthedesk.D.Amovingcup.【解析】選D。推理推斷題。依據(jù)第一段中的Canningisblind,yetmovingobjectssomehowfindawayintoherperception.可知,MilenaCanning能望見(jiàn)運(yùn)動(dòng)中的物體。所以D項(xiàng)正確。干擾項(xiàng)解除:Aphotoofsteamrising“一張蒸汽上升的照片”;Herdaughter’sponytail“她女兒的馬尾辮”;Aballonthedesk“桌子上的一個(gè)球”,都屬于靜止的物體,所以解除。33.JodyCulham’sinvestigationshowsthatCanning______.
