答案解析:
21.【答案】[C]indicatetheatmosphereattheboardmeeting
【解析】本题为细节题。根据题干关键词theweatherinTexas可以定位到第一段①句。①句前半部分指出,TheweatherinTexasmayhavecooledsincetherecentextremeheat(得克萨斯州的天气从最近的极端炎热中凉爽了下来),而后半句则指出,butthetemperaturewillbehighattheStateBoardofEducationmeeting(但是州教育委员会会议的氛围将会非常热烈)...inTexasschools。结合本句内容,第一段提及得克萨斯州的天气,是为了与下文会议的气氛进行对比,C项indicatetheatmosphereattheboardmeeting(表明委员会会议的氛围)符合该句作用,所以本题选C。
22.【答案】[B]shedeniesthevalueofscientificwork
【解析】本题为细节题。根据题干关键词Quinn和Hardy分别定位到第三段②句和第二段①句。定位到两句,优先使用后一句解题,因此先看第三段②句。第三段②句指出,Theycasuallydismissthecareerworkofscholarsandscientistsasjustanothermisguidedopinion(他们随意否定科学家们的事业成果,将其仅仅看作是又一个错误的观点)。B项shedeniesthevalueofscientificwork(她否认科学成果的价值)符合本句藐视,所以本题选B。
23.【答案】[A]climateeducationisinsufficientatstatepublicschools
24.【答案】[C]havelimitedinfluence
【解析】本题为细节题。根据题干关键词Branch、state-levelsciencestandards定位到第六段①句,该句指出:settingstate-levelsciencestandardsisonlyonelimitedbenchmark(设置各州层面的科学课程标准只是一个有限的基准)。C项havelimitedinfluence(影响有限)是对onlyonelimitedbenchmark的同义替换。所以本题选C。
25.【答案】[D]canbeswayedbyexternalforces
【解析】本题为细节题。根据题干关键词lastparagraph和climatechange定位到第七段①②句。①句指出itisnotaswellrepresentedincurriculaforyoungerchildrenandinsubjectsthataremorewidelytaught(它没有在低龄儿童的课程中体现,也没有在开设量更高的科目中体现,其中it指代climatechange,下同)。②句承接①句指出Itisalsolessprominentinmanysocialstudiescourses(它在许多社会科学课程中也并不显眼)。四个选项与①②句内容并未形成对应。定位句不解题,优先考虑下一句是否解题,继续看③句。③句指出unofficialeducationalmaterialsthatconveymoreslantedperspectivesarebeingdistributedtoteachers(传达更多存在偏见的观点的非官方教学资料正在被发放给教师)。非官方教学资料并非公立教育体系制作,由此可知,D项canbeswayedbyexternalforces(可能受外部力量动摇)是对③句的合理推断。所以本题选D。
