一、【2021年浙江卷1月，阅读A】
More
than
25
years
ago,
Saroo
Brierley
lived
in
rural(农村)India.
One
day,
he
played
with
his
brother
along
the
rail
line
and
fell
asleep.
When
he
woke
up
and
found
himself
alone,
the
4-year-old
decided
his
brother
might
be
on
the
train
he
saw
in
front
of
him-so
he
got
on.
That
train
took
him
a
thousand
miles
across
the
country
to
a
totally
strange
city.
He
lived
on
the
streets,
and
then
in
an
orphanage(孤儿院).
There,
he
was
adopted
by
an
Australian
family
and
flown
to
Tasmania.
As
he
writes
in
his
new
book,
A
Long
Way
Home,
Brierley
couldn't
help
but
wonder
about
his
hometown
back
in
India.
He
remembered
landmarks,
but
since
he
didn't
know
his
town's
name,
finding
a
small
neighborhood
in
a
vast
country
proved
to
be
impossible.
Then
he
found
a
digital
mapping
program.
He
spent
years
searching
for
his
hometown
in
the
program's
satellite
pictures.
In
2011,
he
came
across
something
familiar.
He
studied
it
and
realized
he
was
looking
at
a
town's
central
business
district
from
a
bird's-eye
view.
He
thought,?
“On
the
right-hand
side
you
should
see
the
three-platform
train
station”—and
there
it
was.
"And
on
the
left-hand
side
you
should
see
a
big
fountain"-and
there
it
was.
Everything
just
started
to
match.
When
he
stood
in
front
of
the
house
where
he
grew
up
as
a
child,
he
saw
a
lady
standing
in
the
entrance.
"There's
something
about
me,
"
he
thought—and
it
took
him
a
few
seconds
but
he
finally
remembered
what
she
used
to
look
like.
In
an
interview
Brierley
says,
"My
mother
looked
so
much
shorter
than
I
remembered.
But
she
came
forth
and
walked
forward,
and
I
walked
forward,
and
my
feelings
and
tears
and
the
chemical
in
my
brain,
you
know,
it
was
like
a
nuclear
fusion(核聚变).
I
just
didn't
know
what
to
say,
because
I
never
thought
seeing
my
mother
would
ever
come
true.
And
here
I
am,
standing
in
front
of
her.
”

二、【2021年全国甲卷，阅读C】
When
I
was
9,
we
packed
up
our
home
in
Los
Angeles
and
arrived
at
Heathrow,
London
on
a
gray
January
morning.
Everyone
in
the
family
settled
quickly
into
the
city
except
me.
Without
my
beloved
beaches
and
endless
blue—sky
days,
I
felt
at
a
loss
and
out
of
place.
Until
I
made
a
discovery.
Southbank,
at
an
eastern
bend
in
the
Thames,
is
the
center
of
British
skateboarding,
where
the
continuous
crashing
of
skateboards
left
your
head
ringing
.I
loved
it.
I
soon
made
friends
with
the
local
skaters.
We
spoke
our
own
language.
And
my
favorite:
Safe.
Safe
meant
cool.
It
meant
hello.
It
meant
don't
worry
about
it.
Once,
when
trying
a
certain
trick
on
the
beam(横杆),
I
fell
onto
the
stones,
damaging
a
nerve
in
my
hand,
and
Toby
came
over,
helping
me
up:
Safe,
man.
Safe.
A
few
minutes
later,
when
I
landed
the
trick,
my
friends
beat
their
boards
loud,
shouting:
"Safe!
Safe!
Safe!"
And
that's
what
mattered—landing
tricks,
being
a
good
skater.
When
I
was
15,
my
family
moved
to
Washington.
I
tried
skateboarding
there,
but
the
locals
were
far
less
welcoming.
Within
a
couple
of
years,
I'd
given
it
up.
When
I
returned
to
London
in
2004,
I
found
myself
wandering
down
to
Southbank,
spending
hours
there.
I've
traveled
back
several
times
since,
most
recently
this
past
spring.
The
day
was
cold
but
clear:
tourists
and
Londoners
stopped
to
watch
the
skaters.
Weaving(穿梭)among
the
kids
who
rushed
by
on
their
boards,
I
found
my
way
to
the
beam.
Then
a
rail—thin
teenager,
in
a
baggy
white
T—shirt,
skidded(滑)up
to
the
beam.
He
sat
next
to
me.
He
seemed
not
to
notice
the
man
next
to
him.
But
soon
I
caught
a
few
of
his
glances.
"I
was
a
local
here
20
years
ago,
"I
told
him.
Then,
slowly,
he
began
to
nod
his
head.
"Safe,
man.
Safe."
"Yeah,"
I
said.
"Safe."

三、【2021年新高考Ⅰ卷，阅读B】
By
day,
Robert
Titterton
is
a
lawyer.
In
his
spare
time
though
he
goes
on
stage
beside
pianist
Maria
Raspopova—not
as
a
musician
but
as
her
page
turner.
"I'm
not
a
trained
musician,
but
I've
learnt
to
read
music
so
I
can
help
Maria
in
her
performance."
???
Mr
Titterton
is
chairman
of
the
Omega
Ensemble
but
has
been
the
group's
official
page
turner
for
the
past
four
years.
His
job
is
to
sit
beside
the
pianist
and
turn
the
pages
of
the
score
so
the
musician
doesn't
have
to
break
the
flow
of
sound
by
doing
it
themselves.
He
said
he
became
just
as
nervous
as
those
playing
instruments
on
stage.
???
"A
lot
of
skills
are
needed
for
the
job.
You
have
to
make
sure
you
don't
turn
two
pages
at
once
and
make
sure
you
find
the
repeats
in
the
music
when
you
have
to
go
back
to
the
right
spot."
Mr
Titterton
explained.
??
?Being
a
page
turner
requires
plenty
of
practice.
Some
pieces
of
music
can
go
for
40
minutes
and
require
up
to
50
page
turns,
including
back
turns
for
repeat
passages.
Silent
onstage
communication
is
key,
and
each
pianist
has
their
own
style
of
"nodding"
to
indicate
a
page
turn
which
they
need
to
practise
with
their
page
turner.
???
?But
like
all
performances,
there
are
moments
when
things
go
wrong.
"I
was
turning
the
page
to
get
ready
for
the
next
page,
but
the
draft
wind
from
the
turn
caused
the
spare
pages
to
fall
off
the
stand,"
Mr
Titterton
said,
"Luckily
I
was
able
to
catch
them
and
put
them
back."
??
?Most
page
turners
are
piano
students
or
up-and-coming
concerts
pianists,
although
Ms
Raspopova
has
once
asked
her
husband
to
help
her
out
on
stage.
??
?"My
husband
is
the
worst
page
turner,"
she
laughed.
"He's
interested
in
the
music,
feeling
every
note,
and
I
have
to
say:
'Turn,
turn!'
"Robert
is
the
best
page
turner
I've
had
in
my
entire
life."
1.What
should
Titterton
be
able
to
do
to
be
a
page
turner?
A.Read
music.
B.Play
the
piano.
C.Sing
songs.

the

2.Which
of
the
following
best
describes
Titterton's
job
on
stage?

need
to
practise?

the
pages.

the
"nodding".

falling
objects.

in
his
own
style.

page
turner"?

the

no
interest
in
music.

“Where’s
Papa
going
with
the
ax?”
said
Fern
to
her
mother
as
they
were
setting
the
table
for
breakfast.
“Out
to
the
hog
house,”
replied
Mrs.
Arable.
“Some
pigs
were
born
last
night.”
“I
don’t
see
why
he
needs
an
ax,”
continued
Fern,
who
was
only
eight.
“Well,”
said
her
mother,
“one
of
the
pigs
is
a
runt.
It’s
very
small
and
weak,
and
it
will
never
amount
to
anything.
So
your
father
has
decided
to
do
away
with
it.”
“Do
away
with
it?”
shrieked
Fern.
“You
mean
kill
it?
Just
because
it’s
smaller
than
the
others?”
Mrs.
Arable
put
a
pitcher
of
cream
on
the
table.
“Don’t
yell,
Fern!”
she
said.
“Your
father
is
right.
The
pig
would
probably
die
anyway.”
Fern
pushed
a
chair
out
of
the
way
and
ran
outdoors.
The
grass
was
wet
and
the
earth
smelled
of
spring
time.
Fern’s
sneakers
were
sopping
by
the
time
she
caught
up
with
her
father.
“Please
don’t
kill
it!”
she
sobbed.
“It’s
unfair.”
Mr.
Arable
stopped
walking.
“Fern,”
he
said
gently,
“you
will
have
to
learn
to
control
yourself.”
“Control
myself?”
yelled
Fern.
“This
is
a
matter
of
life
and
death,
and
you
talk
about
controlling
myself.”
Tears
ran
down
her
cheeks
and
she
took
hold
of
the
ax
and
tried
to
pull
it
out
of
her
father’s
hand.
“Fern,”
said
Mr.
Arable,
“I
know
more
about
raising
a
litter
of
pigs
than
you
do.
A
weakling
makes
trouble.
Now
run
along!”
“But
it’s
unfair,”
cried
Fern.
“The
pig
couldn’t
help
being
born
small,
could
it?
If
I
had
been
very
small
at
birth,
would
you
have
killed
me?”
Mr.
Arable
smiled.
“Certainly
not,”
he
said,
looking
down
at
his
daughter
with
love.
“But
this
is
different.
A
little
girl
is
one
thing,
a
little
runty
pig
is
another.”
“I
see
no
difference,”
replied
Fern,
still
hanging
on
to
the
ax.
“This
is
the
most
terrible
case
of
injustice
I
ever
heard
of.”
A
queer
look
came
over
John
Arable’s
face.
He
seemed
almost
ready
to
cry
himself.
“All
right,”
he
said.”
You
go
back
to
the
house
and
I
will
bring
the
runt
when
I
come
in.
I’ll
let
you
start
it
on
a
bottle,
like
a
baby.
Then
you’ll
see
what
trouble
a
pig
can
be.”
When
Mr.
Arable
returned
to
the
house
half
an
hour
later,
he
carried
a
carton
under
his
arm.
Fern
was
upstairs
changing
her
sneakers.
The
kitchen
table
was
set
for
breakfast,
and
the
room
smelled
of
coffee,
bacon,
damp
plaster,
and
wood
smoke
from
the
stove.
“Put
it
on
her
chair!”
said
Mrs.
Arable.
Mr.
Arable
set
the
carton
down
at
Fern’s
place.
Then
he
walked
to
the
sink
and
washed
his
hands
and
dried
them
on
the
roller
towel.
Fern
came
slowly
down
the
stairs.
Her
eyes
were
red
from
crying.
As
she
approached
her
chair,
the
carton
wobbled,
and
there
was
a
scratching
noise.
Fern
looked
at
her
father.
Then
she
lifted
the
lid
of
the
carton.
There,
inside,
looking
up
at
her,
was
the
newborn
pig.
It
was
a
white
one.
The
morning
light
shone
through
its
ears,
turning
them
pink.
“He’s
yours,”
said
Mr.
Arable.
“Saved
from
an
untimely
death.
And
may
the
good
Lord
forgive
me
for
this
foolishness.”
Fern
couldn’t
take
her
eyes
off
the
tiny
pig.
“Oh,”
she
whispered.
“Oh,
look
at
him!
He’s
absolutely
perfect.”
She
closed
the
carton
carefully.
First
she
kissed
her
father,
then
she
kissed
her
mother.
Then
she
opened
the
lid
again,
lifted
the
pig
out,
and
held
it
against
her
cheek.

Elon
Musk
and
his
electric
car
company
Tesla
have
a
large
following
in
China-the
world’s
largest
vehicle
market-much
to
the
envy
of
rivals.
However,
a
number
of
potential
customers
are
deciding
against
placing
orders
and
some
owners
are
refusing
to
drive
their
Teslas
to
protest
the
way
a
customer
who
complained
about
an
alleged
brake
failure
was
treated
at
the
Shanghai
auto
show.
On
April
19,
the
opening
day
of
the
show,
which
is
held
every
two
years,
a
woman
got
on
top
of
a
Tesla
Model
3
car
and
shouted
that
the
brakes
did
not
work.
She
was
quickly
dragged
away
by
security
guards,
who
attempted
to
hide
her
from
visitors
with
open
umbrellas.
Footage
of
the
incident
taken
by
onlookers
generated
more
than
150
million
views
on
Sina
Weibo
within
hours.
The
protester,
who
was
detained
by
police
for
disturbing
public
order,
owns
a
Tesla
Model
3
in
Henan
province,
and
her
father
was
involved
in
a
traffic
accident
in
February
while
driving
the
car.
The
woman
claimed
that
the
crash
was
caused
by
a
technical
problem
with
the
car,
but
Tesla
insisted
the
accident
was
due
to
excessive
speed.
Soon
after
the
protest,
Grace
Tao,
a
Tesla
vice-president,
told
reporters:
“There
is
no
possibility
Tesla
will
compromise
...
I
think
she
(the
protester)
is
quite
professional
...
She
has
contributed
to
most
of
the
negative
news
about
Tesla
recently.”
Faced
with
mounting
pressure,
the
company
softened
its
stance,
issuing
a
series
of
late-night
statements.
On
April
20,
it
put
out
an
apology
and
said
it
was
carrying
out
a
“self-inspection”.
Next
day,
it
said
it
was
“working
with
regulators
for
investigation”.
On
Thursday,
Tesla
disclosed
data
about
the
vehicle
that
crashed,
generated
before
the
accident.
The
data
have
not
been
independently
verified.
Events
took
another
turn
three
days
later,
when
the
woman
protester,
surnamed
Zhang,
was
released
from
detention.
In
a
news
analysis,
Reuters
said
Tesla
defies
industry
convention,
as
it
is
based
on
a
corporate
culture
that
rarely
admits
mistakes.

A
saw-whet
owl(猫头鹰)
is
recovering
at
a
wildlife
refuge
in
New
York
state
after
it
was
discovered
glued
to
the
Rockefeller
Center
Christmas
tree.
The
bird
was
found
by
workers
helping
to
transport
the
tree
170
miles
from
Oneonta
to
New
York
City.
“It’s
just
a
story
out
of
a
movie,”
said
Ravensbeard
Wildlife
Center
director
Ellen
Kalish,
who
is
caring
for
the
owl.
After
the
owl
-
now
named
Rockefeller
-
was
dropped
off
with
Ms
Kalish
and
taken
to
the
wildlife
centre,
her
team
began
giving
him
fluids
and
“all
the
mice
he
will
eat”.
Rockefeller
had
not
had
anything
to
eat
or
drink
during
his
three-day
road
trip.
“It’s
amazing
he
didn’t
get
hurt,”
Ms
Kalish
said.
Rockefeller
was
taken
to
the
vet
on
Wednesday
night
for
a
check-up
and
some
X-rays,
but
Ms
Kalish
said
he
appears
to
be
in
great
condition
considering
his
adventurous
week.
Diminutive?as
Rockefeller
is,
he
is
a
full-grown
adult.
Saw-whet
owls
are
the
smallest
owls
in
the
US
north-east,
Ms
Kalish
said,
typically
growing
to
no
more
than
8.3in
(17-21cm)
tall.
“They’re
a
very
interesting
species,”
Ms
Kalish
said.
They
are
“very”
nocturnal,
meaning
they’re
typically
not
seen
unless
someone
is
looking
for
them.
Some
migrate
south
for
the
winter,
and
some
don't
migrate
at
all.
Once
Rockefeller
has
a
clean
bill
of
health,
Ms
Kalish
and
the
Ravensbeard
team
will
release
him
back
into
the
wild.
“Our
goal
is
to
release
any
bird
that
can
be
released,”
she
said.
There
are
about
two
million
saw-whet
owls
across
the
US,
so
Rockefeller
will
be
OK
if
he
doesn’t
make
it
all
the
way
back
to
Oneonta.
“They
find
a
new
mate
each
year
and
go
on
with
their
lives,”
she
said.
With
all
the
bad
news
of
2020,
this
little
owl’s
rescue
“was
a
story
that
needed
to
be
shared”,
Ms
Kalish
said.
1.Where
was
the
owl
stuck?
A.On
a
tree.
B.On
a
truck.
C.In
New
York
City.
D.At
the
wildlife
centre.
2.What
was
the
owl
first
offered
after
arriving
at
the
wildlife
centre?
A.A
medical
examination.
B.Food
and
drink.
C.Christmas
gifts.
D.A
three-day
road
trip.
3.What
does
the
underlined
word
“diminutive”
in
Paragraph
5
probably
mean?
A.Weak.
B.Mature.
C.Interesting.
D.Tiny.
4.What
will
be
done
to
the
owl
if
it
is

in

七、【2021年河南焦作四模，阅读B】
Echo,
a
two-year-old
Harlequin
Dane,
has
been
turning
heads
everywhere
she
goes
since
her
owner
dyed
(染色)her
coat
purple,
blue,
pink
and
green.
Sierra
Schoon,
a
22-year-old
woman
from
Grand
Junction
in
Colorado,
has
been
coloring
her
service
dog,
Echo,
using
pet-safe
dye,
ever
since
the
dog
was
about
six
months
old.
The
young
dog
lover
said
that
she
uses
vegetable-based
Arctic
Fox
hair
dye,
and
that
Echo
loves
to
just
sit
there
for
three
or
four
hours
while
she
applies
the
dye.
And
when
they
go
out
for
walks,
it
is
quite
obvious
that
the
dog
also
feels
quite
delighted
when
people
keep
staring
at
her,
as
they
tend
to
get
very
confused
by
her
unusual
look.
“It
becomes
a
joke
that
we
tell
people.
When
they
ask,
Oh,
is
that
dog
naturally
colored
this
way?
We
say
'Yeah,
she's
a
Galaxy
Dane'
Schoon
said."
You
kind
of
stand
there
for
a
minute,
look
at
their
reaction
and
let
them
stew
and
then
finally
tell
them,?
'No,
she's
dyed
that
way'.
I
never
thought
that
anybody
would
ever
think
that
a
dog
would
naturally
be
pink
or
blue,
let
alone
pink,
blue,
purple
and
green.
However,
after
photos
of
the
unusual-looking
Great
Dane
spread
online,
people
said
that
they
felt
sorry
for
the
poor
animal.
Some
accused
Echo's
owner
of
using
her
as
a
fashion
accessory
for
attention-seeking
purposes,
and
a
few
even
went
as
far
as
accusing
animal
cruelty,
saying
the
owner
of
this
dog
should
never
be
allowed
to
have
animals
ever
again.
In
fact,
the
dyeing
has
actually
helped
Echo
get
over
her
shyness.
Because
of
her
big
size
most
people
preferred
to
keep
their
distance,
and
this
always
made
her
very
nervous,
because
the
Great
Dane
is
extremely
friendly.
The
eye-catching
dye
makes
people
more
comfortable
around
Echo,
and
Sierra
said
that
she
noticed
a
positive
change
in
her
personality
as
well.
1.What
can
be
known
about
Echo
from
the
first
two
paragraphs?
A.Dyeing
makes
her
feel
quite
uncomfortable.
B.She
enjoys
moving
her
head
from
side
to
side.
C.She
turns
her
head
deliberately
to
draw
attention.
D.She
becomes
the
focus
of
attention
wherever
she
is.
2.Which
of
the
following
agrees
with
Sierra
Schoon's
opinion?
A.Echo
enjoys
both
the
dyeing
process
and
public
attention.
B.It
is
quite
easy
for
people
to
discover
that
Echo
is
dyed.
C.People
are
more
delighted
than
confused
by
Echo.
D.Echo
looks
much
younger
than
her
real
age.
3.What's
the
netizens'
attitude
towards
Sierra
Schoon's
behavior?
A.Envious.
B.Ambiguous.
C.Uncaring.
D.Disapproving.
4.What's
the
actual
effect
of
Echo's
being
dyed?
A.It
makes
her
much
friendlier
than
before.
B.It
makes
her
more
approachable.
C.It
makes
her
more
cautious
about
being
touched.
D.It
widens
the
distance
between
her
and
people.
答案以及解析
一、答案：1-3ACB
解析：1.细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句"When
he
woke
up
and
found
himself
alone,
the
4-year-old
decided
his
brother
might
be
on
the
train
he
saw
in
front
of
him—so
he
got
on."以及第二段第一句"That
train
took
him
a
thousand
miles
across
the
country
to
a
totally
strange
city."可知,
Brierley在25年前和家人分开,是因为他误上了火车。
2.细节理解题。根据第四段中的"Then
he
found
a
digital
mapping
program.
He
spent
years
searching
for
his
hometown
in
the
program's
satellite
pictures."以及"Everything
just
started
to
match.
"可知,Brierley
是通过研究数字地图找到家乡的。
3.推理判断题。通过文章最后一段可知,Brierley在采访中谈及了与母亲相见时的情景以及自己内心的感受,所以采访中他主要讲述了和母亲的团聚。
二、答案：1-4ABDC
解析：1.细节理解题。根据第一段中的"Everyone
in
the
family
settled
quickly
into
the
city
except
me.
Without
my
beloved
beaches
and
endless
blue-sky
days,
I
felt
at
a
loss
and
out
of
place.
”可知,作者初到伦敦,不能很快适应,感觉不知所措、格格不入,由此可以判断作者到伦敦后感觉很失望。
2.句意理解题。根据第二段最后两句"A
few
minutes
later,
when
I
landed
the
trick,
my
friends
beat
their
boards
loud,
shouting:
'Safe!
Safe!
Safe!'
And
that's
what
mattered—landing
tricks,
being
a
good
skater."可知,作者在掌握了这种技巧后,他的朋友们为他击板欢呼,所以此处应该是在称赞作者“做得好!”
3.推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知,作者多年后重返故地,在匆匆而过的玩滑板的孩子们中间穿梭,来到曾经练习技巧的横杆处,以及作者和一个滑板少年的对话可以看出,作者是在重温过去的时光。
4.推理判断题。九岁时作者一家搬到伦敦,但是作者一开始并不适应,通过玩滑板,作者认识了新朋友,融入了当地,有了归属感;十五岁的时候,作者一家搬到华盛顿,作者尝试在那里玩滑板,但并不像在伦敦那样受欢迎;多年后作者重返伦敦,滑板再一次让作者找到了归属感。由此可知,作者想传达的是,孩子需要归属感。
三、答案：1-4ACBD
解析：1.细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句中的"but
I've
learnt
to
read
music
so
I
can
help
Maria
in
her
performance"
可知,Titterton作为钢琴家Maria的翻谱员,他需要能够读懂乐曲。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段Titterton的解释可知,
这份工作需要很多技巧,并且要求细致。由此推断,Titterton
在舞台上的工作要求很高。
3.细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句"...each
pianist
has
their
own
style
of
'nodding'
to
indicate
a
page
turn
which
they
need
to
practice
with
their
page
turner."可知,每个钢琴家“点头”示意翻页的风格不同,他们需要与翻谱员磨合。
4.细节理解题。根据最后一段可知,
Ms
Raspopova
的丈夫总是沉浸在音乐中,忘记翻页,需要Ms
Raspopova大声提醒。
四、答案：1.C;
2.D;
3.B;
4.A
解析：1.句意猜测题。根据第二段

Mrs.
Arable.
"Some
pigs
were
born
last
night."
"I
don't
see
why
he
needs
an
ax,"
continued
Fern,
who
was
only
eight.(“到猪圈去,”阿拉贝尔太太回答。
“昨晚生了几头猪。”?我不明白他为什么需要一把斧子,“只有八岁的Fern续说)”可知,当Fern说
“我不明白他为什么需要一把斧子”?时,她真地不理解父亲的行为。故选C。
2.推理判断题。根据第四段
“"Please
don't
kill
it!"
she
sobbed.
"It's
unfair."(“请不要杀它!”?她抽泣着。
“这是不公平的。”)”可知,因为女儿抽泣着阻止Arable杀小猪,所以Arable告诉女儿要学会控制自己。故选D。
3.推理判断题。根据第六段中的
“"I
see
no
difference,"
replied
Fern,
still
hanging
on
to
the
ax.
"This
is
the
most
terrible
case
of
injustice
I
ever
heard
of.”(“我看不出有什么不同,”Fern回答着,仍旧抓着斧头不放。“这是我听到过的最不公正的事情!”)”?可知,Fern坚持要救那头瘦猪,这让Arable自己也快要哭出来了。故选B。
4.段落大意题。根据最后一段中的
“First
she
kissed
her
father,
then
she
kissed
her
mother.
Then
she
opened
the
lid
again,
lifted
the
pig
out,
and
held
it
against
her
cheek.
(她先吻了父亲,然后吻了母亲。然后她又打开盖子,把小猪举起来,贴在自己的脸颊上)”?可知,最后一段主要是讲小女孩对她父亲的决定感到满意。故选A。

with
the
car,
but
Tesla
insisted
the
accident
was
due
to
excessive
speed.”(该女子声称车祸是由汽车的技术问题引起的,但特斯拉坚称事故是由于超速。)可知,4月19日,这名女子爬上了一辆特斯拉Model
3轿车,告知公众事故是由技术问题引起的。故选D。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“She
was
quickly
dragged
away
by
security
guards,
who
attempted
to
hide
her
from
visitors
with
open
umbrellas.”(她很快就被保安拖走了,保安试图用打开的雨伞把她藏起来,以躲避参观者。)和第五段第三句“She
has
contributed
to
most
of
the
negative
news
about
Tesla
recently.”(最近关于特斯拉的大部分负面新闻都是她造成的。)可知,保安们试图把她藏起来因为他们担心这会对特斯拉造成负面影响。故选C。
3.推理判断题。根据第五段第三句“She
has
contributed
to
most
of
the
negative
news
about
Tesla
recently.”(最近关于特斯拉的大部分负面新闻都是她造成的。)可知,格蕾丝·陶提到那个抗议者很专业因为他怀疑有人可能故意策划这事。故选A。
4.段落大意题。根据倒数第二段第二句“The
company
has
long
been
accused
by
customers
of
responding
in
an
irresponsible
manner
to

about
incidents
such
as
battery
fires,
unexpected
acceleration
and

可知,在被发现粘在洛克菲勒中心的圣诞树上后,纽约州一家野生动物保护区的一只锯齿猫头鹰正在接受治疗。由此可知,猫头鹰被困在了一棵树上。故正确答案为A。
2.细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一句?After
the

Kalish
and
taken
to
the
wildlife
centre,
her
team
began
giving
him
fluids
and
"all
the
mice
he
will
eat".?可知,这只现在被命名为?Rockefeller?的猫头鹰被?Kalish?送到野生动物中心后,她的团队开始给它喂食液体和“所有它会吃的老鼠”。由此可知,到达野生动物中心后,猫头鹰最先得到食物和喝的。故正确答案为B。
3.词义猜测题。根据文章第五段第二句?
Saw-whet?owls?are?the?smallest?owls?in?the?US?north-east,?Ms?Kalish?said,?typically?growing?to?no?more?than?8.3in?(17-525px)?tall.
可知,Kalish?女士说,锯齿猫头鹰是美国东北部最小的猫头鹰,通常长到不超过8.3英寸(17-525px)高。由此可知,虽然Rockefeller?个子不高,但他已经是一个成年人了。由此可知,diminutive
意为“小型的”,与?Tiny
意思相近。故正确答案为D。
4.细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段第一句
Once
Rockefeller

(染色)her
coat
purple,
blue,
pink
and
green.”(自从主人把它的毛染成了紫色、蓝色、粉色和绿色之后,这只名叫Echo的两岁丑角狗无论走到哪里都吸引了很多人的目光。)可知,无论Echo在哪里,她都成为人们关注的焦点。故选D。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段第二句和第三句“The

Schoon认为Echo既享受染色过程,又享受公众的关注。故选A。
3.推理判断题。根据倒第二段“However,

Schoon的行为持否定态度。故选D。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“In
fact,
the
dyeing
has
actually
helped
Echo
get
over
