【答案】8.B9.D1（）.A11.D

【解析】這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了疫情過后，商店和餐館大規(guī)模重新開張，促使做兼職工作的中

學(xué)生人數(shù)大規(guī)模增加。

【8題】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段關(guān)鍵句“Butsincemyeldestsonsandtheirfriendsbecameteenagers,Ihave

etobelieveitisalsothefaultofHRdepartmentswhichhaveseenanyoneunder18asahealthandsafety

hazard（隱患）.”（但是，自從我的長子和他們的朋友都成了青少年，我開始相信這也是人力資源部門的錯(cuò)，

他們認(rèn)為18歲以下的人都是健康和安全隱患）可知，作者通過她的長子和他們的朋友的經(jīng)歷意識到，做假

期工作的青少年變少了也是人力資源部門的錯(cuò)，因?yàn)槿肆Y源部門認(rèn)為18歲以下的人都是健康和安全隱患。

由此推知，在第2段中作者提到她的兒子和他們的朋友是為了解釋為什么做假期工作的青少年更少了。故

選B項(xiàng)。

【9題】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段關(guān)鍵句"Themanagersaidhelikedtheenthusiasmanddevotionofteenagers

whoarekeentogetoutofthehouse,havingbeencoopedup（關(guān)起來）withtheirparentsduringthepandemic.

“Theylearnalotfasterthanweexpected,Mhesaid,alittleapologetically."（這位經(jīng)理說，他喜歡那些渴望走

出家門的青少年的熱情和奉獻(xiàn)精神，他們在疫情期間與父母關(guān)在一起。“他們的學(xué)習(xí)速度比我們預(yù)期的快得

多，”他有點(diǎn)抱歉地說）可知，經(jīng)理喜歡青少年的熱情和奉獻(xiàn)精神，認(rèn)為他們學(xué)習(xí)東西的速度很快。由此可

推斷出，餐廳經(jīng)理的話表明了他對青少年的表現(xiàn)很滿意。故選D項(xiàng)。

【10題】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段關(guān)鍵句"Ashortageofadults,binedwiththemassreopeningofshops

andrestaurants,isfuellingtheneedfornew,flexiblehire.InIreland,therearereportsthatarecordnumber

為成年工人的短缺，導(dǎo)致了有創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄數(shù)量的中學(xué)生填補(bǔ)了服務(wù)行業(yè)的季節(jié)性崗位。由此可知，服務(wù)行業(yè)開

始接受有創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄數(shù)量的青少年是因?yàn)槿鄙俪赡旯と?。故選A項(xiàng)。

【11題】詞句猜測題。根據(jù)畫線單詞句中“fromfreefoodtovouchers”（從免費(fèi)食物到代金券）可知，免費(fèi)

食物和代金券是雇主為了吸引青少年來工作所提供的吸引力，“Attractions”意為“吸引力，有吸引力的事”，

能夠表達(dá)畫線單詞在句中所要表達(dá)的意思。故選D項(xiàng)。

【答案】12.D13.B14.C15.C

【解析】這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了宇航員在太空中的飲食變化，食物更加健康和美味。

【12題】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段關(guān)鍵句“YuriGagarinbecamethefirstpersontogobeyondEarth's

atmospherein1961.Ashespent108minutesinorbit,theRussianastronautconsumedatubeofbeefandliver

paste（糊狀物）withasideofchocolatesauce.UisAmericancounterparts（同行）enjoyedequallyunappetizing

cuisineduringtheirtripstothemoon,butpureed（做成泥的）meatgavewaytofreezedriedmealsbythetime

thespaceshuttlefirstlaunchedin1981.”（尤里?加加林于1961年成為第一個(gè)超越地球大氣層的人。當(dāng)這位

俄羅斯宇航員在軌道上飛行108分鐘時(shí)，他吃了一管牛肉和肝醬，配有巧克力醬。他的美國同行在登月旅

行中享受著同樣沒有吸引力的飯菜，但到1981年航天飛機(jī)首次發(fā)射時(shí)，肉泥已經(jīng)被凍干的食物所取代。）

可知，1981年前宇航員吃的是牛肉和肝醬等沒有吸引力的食物，由此可知，作者認(rèn)為1981年以前宇航員的

食物是沒有吸引力的。故選D項(xiàng)。

【13題】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段關(guān)鍵句“"Flavoristheprimarydriverformostdecisionssurroundingfood

intake,saysRobinTucker,anassistantprofessorofnutritionscienceatMichiganStateUniversity.”（密歇根

州立大學(xué)營養(yǎng)科學(xué)助理教授羅賓?塔克說：“味道是大多數(shù)食物攝入決策的主要驅(qū)動力。可知，羅賓?塔克

認(rèn)為食物的味道對宇航員決定是否吃這種食物的影響最大，由此可知，羅賓?塔克認(rèn)為食物的味道對宇航員

在太空中的食物消耗影響最大。故選B項(xiàng)。

【14題】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段關(guān)鍵句"Floatingfreelycanweakenthesenseoftasteandsmell."（自由

漂浮會減弱味覺和嗅覺。）可知，自由漂浮會減弱味覺和嗅覺，在太空飛行就是自由漂浮的狀杰，由此可

知，太空飛行會導(dǎo)致宇航員的嗅覺減弱。故選C項(xiàng)。

【15題】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段關(guān)鍵句“Giventhatvitaminsandmineralsinpackagedmealsslowlybreak

down,NASAisresearchinghowastronautsmightgrowvegetables.Italsohasexperimentedwithsomething

likea3Dprinterthatwouldbinepowderedstarch（粉狀淀粉），protein,andfatwithmicronutrients,oil,and

watertomaketastyfood.”（鑒于包裝食品中的維生素和礦物質(zhì)會慢慢分解，美國航天局正在研究宇航員如

何種植蔬菜。它還試驗(yàn)了一種3D打印機(jī)之類的東西，這種打印機(jī)可以將粉狀淀粉、蛋白質(zhì)和脂肪與微量營

養(yǎng)素、油和水混合，制成美味的食物。）可知，美國航天局正在研究宇航員如何種植蔬菜和用類似3D打印

機(jī)的設(shè)備自己制作食物，目的是讓宇航員能夠在太空中自食其力，由此可知，美國航天局目前的重點(diǎn)是研

究如何使宇航員能夠在太空中自食其力。故選C項(xiàng)。

【答案】l.B2.C3.A

【解析】本文是一篇說明文。手勢在我們的日常交流中已經(jīng)被廣泛使用。它們通過補(bǔ)充單詞有時(shí)遺漏的內(nèi)

容來補(bǔ)充信息。文章介紹了一些流行手勢背后的歷史。

【1題】推理判斷題。根據(jù)?Thumbsupandthumbsdown部分中的“Whenagladiator（角斗士）lost,the

crowdwouldeithersticktheirthumbsouttohavehimkilledorjustnotmakeanysignatall.Thethumbsup

decidedthegladiatoTsfate（命運(yùn)）.（當(dāng)一個(gè)角斗士輸了，觀眾們要么伸出大拇指想要?dú)⑺浪?，要么根本不?/p>

任何手勢。豎起的大拇指決定了角斗士的命運(yùn)）”可推知，“豎起大拇指”在羅馬時(shí)代意味著角斗士被殺死。

故選B。

【2題】細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)?Highfive部分中的“GlennBurke,oneofthecapableplayers,liftedhisamhigh

abovehisheadandslappedpalmswithhisteammateDustyBakertocelebrateamilestonehomerun,marking

手高舉過頭頂，與隊(duì)友達(dá)斯迪?貝克拍掌慶祝一個(gè)里程碑式的全壘打，這被廣泛認(rèn)為是有記錄的第一個(gè)擊掌

的例子）”可知，擊掌是為了慶祝一個(gè)本壘打。故選C。

【3題】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Butareyousomewhatawareofthehistorythatgoesbehindsomeof

thesepopularhandgestures?（但是你知道這些流行手勢背后的歷史嗎？）”可知，這四個(gè)手勢都有背后的歷

【7題】推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的“TherewerealsoplentyofmoretechnicalskillsthatIlearned,like

websitedesign,socialmediamanagement,buildingamercialbrandandconductinginterviews.（我還學(xué)至!|了

很多技術(shù)技能，比如網(wǎng)站設(shè)計(jì)、社交媒體管理、建立商業(yè)品牌和采訪。戶和最后一段的“Emmaaddedshealso
