【解析】
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据小标题“Howmuchistheentrancefee”下面的“$35-Private,non-commercialvehicle;”可知,私家非商用车辆入场费是35美元,没有说是每个人35美元,是一辆车35美元。因此,Jeffery带爸爸和女儿开车去黄石公园的费用是35美元。故选C。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据画线句上文“Winterisatimeofbeingabitofsocialisolation.(冬天是一个有点社交孤立的时期。)”和下文“Nowitismorerestrictedunlessyoucanaffordasnow-coachorguidedsnowmobiletour.(现在,除非你能负担得起雪地教练或雪地摩托导游,否则这里的限制就更大了。)”可知,公园冬天人很少,基本与世隔绝。因此在过去的几年,在冬天参观黄石公园是更加经济的,而现在除非你负担得起滑雪教练等费用,要不然可玩的限制更多。因此画线句的隐含意思是,就费用而言,以前冬天是参观黄石公园的好时机。故选D。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据小标题“CanIgetCellandWi-Fi”下面的“Cellserviceisextremelylimited,withreceptiononlyavailableinornearmajordevelopedareas.Insummer,serviceisoftenmaxedoutintheseareas.(手机服务极其有限,只能在主要发达地区或其附近接收。在夏季,这些地区的服务通常会达到最高水平。)”可知,在夏天,游客可能会遇到无线网络服务问题。故选C。

【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“‘Whenmostpeoplethinkaboutde-extinction,they’reimaginingcloning,’Shapirosaid.Cloning,theapproachthatcreatedDolly,thesheepin1996andElizabethAnn,theblack-footedferretin2020,createsanidenticalgeneticcopyofanindividualbyputtingDNAfromalivingadultcellintoaneggcellfromwhichthenucleus(细胞核)hasbeenremoved.AdultcellscontainalltheDNAneededtodevelopintoalivinganimal.EggcellsthenusethatDNAasablueprinttoturnthemselvesintomanykindsofcells-skin,organs,bloodandbones-theanimalneeds.(夏皮罗说,当大多数人想到灭绝灭绝时,他们想象的是克隆。克隆技术在1996年创造了多利羊,在2020年创造了黑脚雪貂伊丽莎白·安,它通过将一个活的成年细胞的DNA放入一个细胞核被去除的卵细胞中,创造了一个完全相同的个体遗传副本。成年细胞含有发育成活的动物所需的所有DNA。然后,卵细胞利用这些DNA作为蓝图,将自己转变成动物所需的多种细胞——皮肤、器官、血液和骨骼)”可知,第二段主要介绍了克隆的步骤。故选B项。
【13题详解】
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“Geneticdifferencesbetweenthetwobirdspeciesarethereforemuchgreater(因此,这两种鸟类之间的遗传差异要大得多)”可知,渡渡鸟和尼科巴鸽子差异非常大,由此推知,复活渡渡鸟是艰巨的任务,划线词与tough意思相近,意为“艰难的”。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Geneticdifferencesbetweenthetwobirdspeciesarethereforemuchgreater,makingitaformidabletasktocreateasuccessfulhybridinthelab,Shapirosaid.(夏皮罗说,因此,这两种鸟类之间的遗传差异要大得多,这使得在实验室中创造一个成功的杂交物种成为一项艰巨的任务)”和第五段中“Evenifscientistsmanagetobringdodosback,theislandwheretheyoncelivedisaverydifferentplacenowadays,whichmakeitimpossibletoreintroducedodoswithoutmajorintervention.(即使科学家们设法把渡渡鸟带回来,它们曾经生活的岛屿现在已经是一个非常不同的地方,这使得在没有重大干预的情况下不可能重新引入渡渡鸟)”可推知,夏皮罗对复活渡渡鸟持消极的态度。故选D项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了音盲这一群体,以及他们对此的感受和因此面临的问题。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Peoplewhoareamusicarebornwithouttheabilitytorecognizeorreproducemusicalnotes(音调).(音盲天生就没有识别或再现音符的能力)”可知,这些人很难区分歌曲。下文“Amusicscanonlyhearthedifferencebetweentwonotesiftheyareveryfarapartonthemusicalscale.(只有当两个音符在音阶上相距很远,他们才能听到它们之间的区别)”也说明他们欠缺这种能力。选项F“Amusicpeopleoftencannottellthedifferencebetweentwosongs.(音盲总是无法区分两首歌的区别)”也是在讲这种能力的缺乏,与上下文关联紧密。故选F项。
【17题详解】
根据下文“Manyamusicscomparethesoundofmusictopiecesofmetalhittingeachother.(许多音盲把音乐的声音比作金属片互相撞击)”可知,音乐对他们而言,并不美妙,像金属互撞的噪音。选项A“Songssoundlikenoisetoanamusic.(对音盲而言,歌曲听起来像噪音)”与下文关联紧密。故选A项。
【18题详解】
【19题详解】
根据上文“Amusicscanunderstandothernonmusicalsoundswell.Theyalsohavenoproblemsunderstandingordinaryspeech.(音盲能很好地理解其他非音乐声音。他们理解普通的言语也没有问题)”可知,这些人只是对音乐这一种声音的理解有障碍,这和红绿色盲很相似,也是看不清特定颜色。选项G“Scientistscompareamusicstopeoplewhojustcan’tseecertaincolors.(科学家们把音盲比作看不清特定颜色的人)”,与上文关联紧密。故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Manyamusicsarehappywhentheirconditionisfinallydiagnosed(诊断).Foryears,Margaretfeltembarrassedaboutherproblemwithmusic.(当他们的病情最终被诊断出来时,许多音盲都很高兴。多年来,Margaret一直对自己的音乐声音问题感到尴尬)”可知,这些人没接受诊断前,都因为这个问题感到苦恼,觉得自己很另类。由此推知,空处陈述他们确诊后的表现或反映。选项B“Nowsheknowsthatsheisnotalone.(现在她知道了,并非她一个人有这个问题)”符合题意。故选B项。

45.What
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:Lehanne的心理咖啡馆正努力帮助这个城市麻烦不断的社区咖啡馆。结合句意及空后的neighborhoodcafes可知空处应填形容词形式troublesome,作定语,修饰名词neighborhoodcafes。故填troublesome。
【37题详解】
【38题详解】
【39题详解】
考查不定式。句意:幸运的是,几十家新的主题咖啡馆似乎改变了这种情况。结合句意表达“似乎做某事”用appeartodo。故填tochange。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:以心理学、历史和工程学为主题的咖啡馆也很受欢迎,一直到晚上都人满为患。分析句子结构及句意可知空处应填非谓语动词的形式,句子主语Cafes与fill之间为主动关系,应用现在分词表主动,作状语。故填filling。
【41题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。句意:这座城市的“心理咖啡馆”提供了极大的安慰,是最受欢迎的地方之一。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词为Thecity’s“psychologycafes”,从句缺主语,应用关系代词which。故填which。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意:中年家庭主妇、退休人员、无业人士等人来到这样的咖啡馆,与心理医生谈论爱、愤怒、梦想。结合句意空处应填名词形式anger,与空前的love以及空后的dream并列作宾语。故填anger。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:“巴黎对交流有强烈的需求,”莫里斯说,他是咖啡馆的常客,在附近的教堂担任宗教指导员。表示“一种需求”应用不定冠词,且strong的发音是辅音音素开头,故填a。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:“巴黎对交流有强烈的需求,”莫里斯说,他是咖啡馆的常客,在附近的教堂担任宗教指导员。结合句意空处应填介词as,workas意为“担任”,固定搭配。故填as。

【分析】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者向一家游泳馆递交了第一份工作申请,完成一些诸如帮助困惑的游客,在孩子滑下滑梯之前测量他们的身高等事情。在进行测试时,经理提议让作者去当一名救生员,于是作者采纳了这个建议。经过一系列培训,作者成为了一名救生员,但好像所学的东西也无用武之地。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“‘他一定是出了什么问题,’我心想。”可知,第一段可描写作者发明并营救这个溺水男孩的经过。
②由第二段首句内容“让男孩躺在地板上,我把耳朵凑到他的嘴边,手指放在他的脖子上。”可知,第二段可描写作者如何运用自己学过的救生员知识救了这个孩子的。
2.续写线索:发现男孩溺水——抱起男孩——实施急救——男孩恢复知觉——松了口气
