A. highlight the thriftiness of early American colonists.
B. illustrate the high status of blacksmiths in that period.
C. contrast the attitudes of different civilisations towards nails.
D. show the preciousness of nail-making technology at that time.
【22】D. show the preciousness of nail-making technology at that time.解析： 該題為例證題，問17世紀(jì)早期弗吉尼亞人的例子用來干什么?答案需尋找它的論點(diǎn)，定位于Later civilisations would value the skilled blacksmith’s labour in a nail even more than the raw material.后來的文明更加重視熟練的鐵匠在釘子上的勞動(dòng)，而不是原材料,所以它的答案同義替換句show the preciousness of nail-making technology at that time當(dāng)時(shí)制造釘子的技術(shù)珍貴。
23. What played the major role in lowing the price of nails after the late 1700s?
A. Increased productivity.
B. Wider use of new energies.
C. Fiercer market competition.
D. Reduced cost of raw materials.
【23】A. Increased productivity. 解析： 該題為細(xì)節(jié)題，問18世紀(jì)末之后，什么在降低釘子價(jià)格方面發(fā)揮了主要作用? 題干可定位于The price of nails fell by 90%，答案在其下一句，盡管釘子價(jià)格下跌的部分原因是由于更便宜的鐵和更便宜的能源，但大部分功勞都?xì)w功于釘子制造商，他們只是找到了更有效的方法將鋼鐵變成釘子，所以是提高的效率為正確答案。
24. It can be learned from Paragraph 5 that nails
A. have undergone many technological improvements.
B. have remained basically all the same since Roman times.
C. are less studied than other everyday products.
D. are one of the world’s most significant inventions.
【24】B. have remained basically all the same since Roman times. 解析： 該題為推理細(xì)節(jié)題，問從第五段能推測(cè)出釘子怎么了?文中Nails themselves have changed over the years, but Sichel studied them because they haven’t changed much. ……, but Roman nails are still clearly nails. 提到釘子沒有發(fā)生變化，所以答案為自羅馬時(shí)代以來基本保持不變。
25. Which of the following best summaries the last two paragraphs?
A. Cheap technologies bring about revolutionary change.
B. Technological innovation is integral to economic success.
C. Technology defines people’s understanding of the world.
D. Sophisticated technologies develop from small inventions.
【25】A. Cheap technologies bring about revolutionary change. 解析： 該題為推理題，問從最后兩段中能推測(cè)出什么?此題需要找到概括出兩段的重點(diǎn)，根據(jù)重點(diǎn)句it’s the cheap technologies that change the world便宜的技術(shù)改變世界 以及最后一段重點(diǎn)句中都有提到價(jià)格降低導(dǎo)致發(fā)展的內(nèi)容，所以答案為廉價(jià)的技術(shù)帶來革命性的變化。
Text 2
26. According to the first two paragraphs, alloparenting refers to the practice of
A. sharing childcare among community members.
B. assigning babies to specific adult caregivers.
C. teaching parenting skills to older children.
D. caring infants around by their parents.
【26】A. sharing childcare among community members.解析：該題為細(xì)節(jié)題，問根據(jù)前兩段，異親撫養(yǎng)指的是什么行為?此題定位文中內(nèi)容顯示博茨瓦納的Kung，那里的每個(gè)孩子都由許多成年人照顧，以及四歲的Kung兒童會(huì)幫助照顧更小的孩子，所以異親撫養(yǎng)指的是在社區(qū)成員之間分擔(dān)托兒工作。
27. The scheme in Germany is mentioned to illustrate
A. an attempt to facilitate intergenerational communication.
B. an approach to intergrating alloparenting into western society.
C. the conventional parenting style in western culture.
D. the differences between western and African ways of living.
【27】B. an approach to intergrating alloparenting into western society. 解析：該題為例證題，答案定位于文中內(nèi)容Dr Annie Swanepoel , a child psychiatrist , believes that there are ways to incorporate them into western life.有很多方法將其融于西方世界，所以答案是同義替換句B選項(xiàng)。
28. According to paragraph 4, the “intensive mothering narrative”
A. alleviates parenting pressure.
B. consolidates family relationships.
C. results in the child-centered family.
D. departs from the course of evolution.
【28】D. departs from the course of evolution. 解析：該題為細(xì)節(jié)題，定位句This abrupt shift to an "intensive mothering narrative "但是本句只寫了壞處，不能直接鎖定答案，而句中的this 這個(gè)指代詞可知，還需定位前一句，前一句的核心內(nèi)容the western nuclear family was a recent invention which block with evolutionary history(西方的核心家庭是近代的發(fā)明中斷進(jìn)化史)，與departs from the course of evolution(與偏離進(jìn)化過程)為同義替換。

A. they tend to fall short of official requirements.
B. they have difficulty finding enough caregivers.
C. they ought to improve their carer-to-child ratio.
D. they should try to prevent parental depression.
【29】C. they ought to improve their carer-to-child ratio. 解析：該題為細(xì)節(jié)推理題，文中An infant born to a hunter- gatherer society could have more than ten caregivers -this contrasts starkly to nursery setting in the uk where regulation can for a ratio fone carer to four children aged two to three (一個(gè)出生在狩獵采集社會(huì)的嬰兒可能有10個(gè)以上的照顧者——這與英國(guó)的托兒所環(huán)境形成鮮明對(duì)比，在英國(guó)，監(jiān)管可以規(guī)定一個(gè)照顧者對(duì)4個(gè)2到3歲的孩子的比例)以及Chaudhary said that Britain should emplore the possibility that older siblings helping their parents" might also enhance their own social development"(英國(guó)應(yīng)該考慮這樣一種可能性，即哥哥姐姐幫助父母“也可能促進(jìn)他們自己的社會(huì)發(fā)展”)，所以應(yīng)該應(yīng)該提升他們照顧孩子的人比率。
30. What is the best tittle for the text?
A. Instructive teaching: a dilemma for anxious parents
B. For a happier family: learn from the hunter gatherers
C. Mixed age play group: a better choice for lonely children
D. Tracing the history of parenting: from Africa to Europe
【30】B. For a happier family: learn from the hunter gatherers。解析：該題為主旨題，需要注意每段的核心信息，文中從最開始就體現(xiàn)了異親撫養(yǎng)的好處，中間加了一些例子佐證，而異親撫養(yǎng)來源于hunter gatherer狩獵者，所以答案為B。

A. He is enthusiastic about using AI models.
B. He is popular with users of an AI art generator.
C. He atiracts admiration from other illustractors.
D. He specializes in classical painting digitalization.
【31】B. He is popular with users of an AI art generator. 解析：該題為細(xì)節(jié)題，根據(jù)Rutkowski，Paragraph 1-2定位到第一段和第二段，第二段講到Rutkowski創(chuàng)造了很多作品，最后一句講到：他在文本到圖像人工智能生成的新世界中突然走紅。(And he’s become a sudden hit in the new world of text-to-image AI generation.)，故此說明他很受AI藝術(shù)生成器用戶的歡迎。
32. The problem with open·source-AI art generators is that they
A. lock flexibility in responding to prompts.
B. produce artworks in unpredictable styles.
C. Make unauthorized use of online images.
D. Correct user information without consent.
【32】C. Make unauthorized use of online images. 解析：該題為細(xì)節(jié)題，根據(jù)open source-AI art generators定位到第三段，第三段沒有說明開源AI藝術(shù)生成器的問題，所以繼續(xù)往下定位到第五段，第一句提到：但這些開源程序是通過從互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上抓取圖像來構(gòu)建的，通常沒有得到藝術(shù)家的許可和適當(dāng)?shù)臍w屬。(But these open-source programs are built by scraping images from the internet, often without permission and proper attribution to artists.)，即未經(jīng)授權(quán)使用網(wǎng)上的圖片。
33. After searching online, Rutkowski found
A. a unique way to reach audiences.
B. a new method to identify AI images.
C. AI-generated work bearing his name.
D. heated disputes regarding his copyright.
【33】C. AI-generated work bearing his name. 解析：該題為細(xì)節(jié)題，根據(jù)題文同序的原則和searching定位到第七段，第二句提到：然后，他(Rutkowski)試著搜索自己的名字，看看自己創(chuàng)作的一篇文章是否已經(jīng)發(fā)表。網(wǎng)上搜索找到了附有他的名字但不是他的作品。(Then he tried searching for his name to see if a piece he had worked on had been published. The online search brought back work that had his name attached to it but wasn’t his. )，故此選擇C：以他的名字命名的人工智能作品。
34. According to Ortiz AI companies are advised to .
A. compaign for new policies or regulation.
B. offer their services to public institutions.
C. Strengthen their relationships with AI users.
D. Adopt a different strategy for AI model training.
【34】C. Strengthen their relationships with AI users. 解析：該題為細(xì)節(jié)題，根據(jù)Ortiz定位到Ortiz的觀點(diǎn)，他認(rèn)為：“藝術(shù)家行業(yè)正在形成一個(gè)聯(lián)盟，尋找解決或緩解這一問題的方法。該組織正處于動(dòng)員的初期，可能涉及推動(dòng)新的政策或法規(guī)。(The group is in its early days of mobilization, which could involve pushing for new policies or regulation. )。其中還未提及對(duì)于公司的建議，所以繼續(xù)看下一段，下一段提到：Ortiz說，其中一個(gè)建議是，人工智能模型可以在公共領(lǐng)域的圖像上進(jìn)行訓(xùn)練，人工智能公司可以與博物館和藝術(shù)家建立合作關(guān)系。(One suggestion is that AI models could be trained on images in the public domain, and AI companies could forge partnerships with museums and artists, Ortiz says. )。結(jié)合這兩段的內(nèi)容我們發(fā)現(xiàn)：Ortiz想要推動(dòng)新的政策或者法規(guī)，在對(duì)AI公司建議上的體現(xiàn)為與博物館和藝術(shù)家建立合作關(guān)系。博物館和藝術(shù)家都可以視作AI公司的用戶。因此建議AI公司加強(qiáng)與用戶的關(guān)系。
35. mainly about .
A. Artists responses to AI art generation.
B. AI’s expended role in artistic creation.
C. Privacy issues in the application of AI.
D. Opposing views on AI development
【35】A. Artists responses to AI art generation. 解析：該題為主旨題。文章開頭由Rutkowski引出話題藝術(shù)家已經(jīng)人工智能藝術(shù)生成器。從第五段開始提及人工智能藝術(shù)生成器所存在的問題。最后一段中作者引用Ortiz的話進(jìn)行了總結(jié)：“不僅僅是藝術(shù)家……攝影師、模特、男女演員、導(dǎo)演、攝影師都有�！薄叭魏我环N視覺專業(yè)人士現(xiàn)在都必須處理這個(gè)特殊的問題�！�(“It’s not just artists … It’s photographers, models, actors and actresses, directors, cinematographers,” she says. “Any sort of visual professional is having to deal with this particular question right now.” )。雖然提到了不僅僅是藝術(shù)家，但是最后一段之前主要就藝術(shù)家和人工智能的關(guān)系進(jìn)行探討，故此選A。

A. a valuable natural environment.
B. a controversial conservation area.
C. a place with commercial potential.
D. a headache for nearby communities.
【36】A. a valuable natural environment 解析： 該題為細(xì)節(jié)題，問，切薩皮克灣在第一段中被描述為什么，文中提到：淺灘為鳥類、魚類、哺乳動(dòng)物和蠕蟲等數(shù)百種物種提供家園，同時(shí)儲(chǔ)存洪水，過濾水中污染物，保護(hù)附近社區(qū)免受潛在破壞性風(fēng)暴潮的影響("protecting nearby communities from potentially destructive storm surges.")所以切薩皮克灣是一個(gè)寶貴的自然環(huán)境。

A. reinforces water pollution control.
B. weakens the EPA’s regulatory power.

38. How does the author feel about the future of the Chesapeake Bay?
A. Worried.
B. Puzzled.
C. Relieved.

Worried 解析： 該題為態(tài)度題，問，作者對(duì)切薩皮克灣的未來有何看法，文中提到：好消息是有許多州的法律提供濕地保護(hù)，但這是一種非常短視的觀點(diǎn)，特別是當(dāng)涉及到切薩皮克灣時(shí)("the good news is that there are many state laws in place that provide wetlands protections. But thats a very shortsighted view, particularly when it comes to the Chesapeake Bay")所以作者對(duì)于切薩皮克灣的未來持有擔(dān)憂的態(tài)度。

A. It has restored the balance among neighboring jurisdictions.

It has ensured the coordination of protection efforts 解析： 該題為細(xì)節(jié)題，問，關(guān)于環(huán)保署參與切薩皮克灣計(jì)劃，我們可以推斷出什么，文中提到：因此，我們呼吁喬·拜登總統(tǒng)和國(guó)會(huì)根據(jù)《清潔水法》恢復(fù)環(huán)境保護(hù)局急需的權(quán)力，保護(hù)國(guó)家的濕地——同時(shí)保護(hù)我們的供水、水生物種、娛樂場(chǎng)所和防洪設(shè)施的安全("And so we would call on President Joe Biden and Congress to restore this much-needed EPA authority under the Clean Water Act and protect the nations wetlands – and with them the safety of our water supply, aquatic species and recreational spaces as well as flood protections")所以確保了保護(hù)工作的協(xié)調(diào)。

F.Ways to get artifacts from other countries must be decent and lawful.
G.Concern over security is no excuse for refusing to return artifacts to their countries of origin.
41.Hannah
Simply there are people in Nigeria who cannot travel to the Smithsonian Institution to see that part of their history and culture represented by the Benin Bronzes. These should be available to them as part of their cultural heritage and history and as a source of national pride. There is no good reason that these artifacts should be beyond the ordinary reach of the educational objectives or inspiration of the generations to which they were left. They serve no purpose in a museum in the United States or elsewhere except as curious objects. They cannot be compared to works of art produced for sale which can be passed from hand to hand and place to place by purchase.
42.Buck
We know very exact reproductions of artwork can be and are regularly produced. Perhaps museums and governments might explore some role for the use of nearly exact reproductions as a means of resolving issues relating to returning works of art and antiquities. The context of any exhibit is more important to me than whether the object being displayed is 2,000 years old or 2 months old. In many cases the experts have a hard time agreeing on what is the real object and what is a forgery. Again, the story an exhibit is trying to tell is what matters. The monetary value of the objects on display is a distant second place in importance.
43.Sara
When visiting the Baltimore Museum of Art, I came across a magnificent 15th-century Chinese sculpture. It inspired me to learn more about the culture that it represented. Artifacts in museums have the power to inspire, and perhaps spark that need to learn and understand the nature of their creators. Having said that,I do feel that whatever artifacts find their way to public museums should, in fact, be sanctioned as having been obtained on loan, legally purchased, or obtained by treaty. Stealing artifacts from other peoples cultures is obscene; it robs not only the physical objects, but the dignity and spirit of their creators.
44.Victor
Ancient art that is displayed in foreign countries should be returned...
45.Julia
To those of you in the comments section, by all means, who are having strong feeling about artifacts being removed from cities in the US and Britain, I would ask you to consider...
【41】E
段落中一開始就提到“尼日利亞有些人無法前往史密森尼學(xué)會(huì)(there are people in Nigeria who cannot travel to the Smithsonian Institution)，去看看貝寧青銅器所代表的他們的一部分歷史和文化”。史密森尼學(xué)會(huì)位于美國(guó)，即尼日利亞的人們?cè)诒緡?guó)無法看到這種屬于他們自己的文化，后面也提到“在美國(guó)或其他地方的博物館里，它們除了作為奇珍異寶之外，沒有任何用途(there are people in Nigeria who cannot travel to the Smithsonian Institution)”。這與選項(xiàng)所說的“文物的真正價(jià)值只能在其來源國(guó)得到承認(rèn)，而不是在其他任何地方”相符，故選E。
【42】D
段落中的reproductions為原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)，段中雖然開始一直在說復(fù)制品可以做到幾乎和真品一模一樣，但是結(jié)尾處總結(jié)到“展覽想要講述的故事才是最重要的。展品的貨幣價(jià)值在重要性上遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)排在第二位�！�(the story an exhibit is trying to tell is what matters. The monetary value of the objects on display is a distant second place in importance)，只有真品背后才有歷史悠久的故事，選項(xiàng)“復(fù)制品，即使制作得再完美，也不能取代真品”與段落意思匹配，故選D。
【43】F
段落中的having been obtained on loan, legally purchased, or obtained by treaty(通過租借、合法購(gòu)買或通過條約獲得)與選項(xiàng)中的decent and lawful(體面且合法的)意思相近，都是在表達(dá)獲取文物應(yīng)該通過合適的途徑，而不是通過搶奪，故選F。
【44】G Concern over security is no excuse for refusing to return artifacts to their countries of origin.
【45】B It is a flawed line of reasoning to argue against returning artifacts to their countries of origin.
Part C
【46】They sometimes travel more than sixty miles to find food or water, and are very good at working out where other elephants are--even when they are out of sight.

【49】The volatile chemicals produced by plants can be carried a long way, and they are very characteristic: Each plant or tree has its own particular odor signature.

植物產(chǎn)生的揮發(fā)性化學(xué)物質(zhì)可以被帶到很遠(yuǎn)的地方，而且它們都很有特點(diǎn)：每種植物或每棵樹都有自己獨(dú)特的氣味特征。
【50】The experiment showed that elephants may well use smell to identify patches of trees that are good to eat, and secondly to assess the quality of the trees within each patch.
考查知識(shí)點(diǎn)：賓語從句;目的狀語;定語從句
