【答案】1.C2.B3.C
【解析】本文主要介绍了参观巴黎埃菲尔铁塔的一些建议。
1.推理判断题。
根据VisitatNight部分的you’llseewhyParisisknownasthe“CityofLight”.可知,你能看到巴黎的夜景,会知道为什么它是一个闻名于世的光之城,这正是巴黎的特有的景色,故选C。
2.词义猜测题。
根据本段的标题PurchaseYourTicketinAdvanceOnline(提前网上购票)可知,BypassthelongticketlinesattheEiffelTowerbypurchasingyourticketonlinefromtheEiffelTowerwebsite.意为“通过在埃菲尔铁塔网站上买票,可以避开在埃菲尔铁塔处长长的购票队伍”,通过句意的理解,再结合4个选项里的单词意思,可知bypass的意思就是avoid,故选B。
3.细节理解题。
根据Don’tBringValuableObjectswithYou部分中的Ifanitemyouarecarryingsetsoffthemetaldetector,theofficerwilltakeyouawayfromthelineforfurtherinspection.We’vestoodinlineforhourswitnessingpeoplewhomissedtheirchancetogouptheEiffelTower.可知如果你随身携带的物品触发了金属探测器,那么你就会被带走做进一步的审查,你也就上不去了,故选C。

【答案】4.C5.B6.A7.A
【解析】本文是中国湖南的生物系博士毕业生何江作为代表做的哈佛大学毕业典礼演讲文章,何江用他的亲身经历——被蜘蛛咬伤的往事讲起,说明知识传播、知识分布资源平衡的重要性。
4.细节理解题。
根据第一段的描述,作者被蜘蛛咬了,mymomsetmyhandonfire……他的妈妈用火烤的方式,用土方法帮他治愈了蜘蛛的毒。
故答案为C。
5.细节理解题。
根据第二段Yousee,thepartofChinaIgrewupinwasaruralvillage,andatthattimepreindustrial.中的关键词preindustrial可知作者的家乡还未工业化,所以B项的描述是错误的,符合题干。
6.词义猜测题。
找到单词所在的句子It’scoolhowthatfolkremedyactuallyincorporatesbasicbiochemistry,isn’tit?
句意:
那个土方子实际上()生物化学知识,这是件很酷的事情,不是吗?
结合前几句提到的作者妈妈的土方子用生物化学知识的解释:
热可以破坏蛋白质,而蜘蛛毒液就是一种蛋白质。
所以猜词所在的句意完整的理解就是:
土方子实际上包含了基本的生物化学知识,很酷,不是吗?
因此答案为A。
7.推理判断题。
根据最后一段Iamhappytoreportthatmyhandisfine.Butthisquestionlingers,andIcontinuetobetroubledbyit.以及Yet,despit
