此天才的形式有很多種。故選B項(xiàng)。.答案：1-3CBC解析：1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段第一句Romecanbepriceyfortravelers,whichiswhymanychoosetostayinahostel.可知，去羅馬旅行的費(fèi)用很高,這是很多人選擇住在提供便宜食宿的旅社的原因，由此可知，費(fèi)用可能是選擇住在旅社的旅客的主要關(guān)注點(diǎn)。.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)HostelAlessandroPalace部分中的Ifyoulovesocialhostels,thisisthebesthostelforyouinRome.以及plentyofbarevents…karaoke可知，該旅社提供了豐富的社交活動(dòng)，最適合喜歡活躍的社交生活的人。.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)HotelandHostelDesArtistes中的However,youneedtopay2eurosadayforWi-Fi.可知,旅客在該旅社使用無(wú)線網(wǎng)絡(luò),需要每天支付兩歐元,這是該旅社的不便之處。.答案：1-4ACBD解析：1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段中的I'velearnttoreadmusicsoIcanhelpMariainherperformance以及第三段內(nèi)容可知，作為一名樂(lè)譜翻頁(yè)員，蒂特頓需要學(xué)會(huì)識(shí)譜,在正確的時(shí)刻給樂(lè)譜翻頁(yè)，以確保鋼琴家的演奏準(zhǔn)確且流暢。.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段中蒂特頓所說(shuō)的話Alotofskillsareneededforthejob.及后面的具體說(shuō)明可知,樂(lè)譜翻頁(yè)員需要掌握多種技能,包括必須確保不要同時(shí)翻兩頁(yè),并確保樂(lè)譜有重復(fù)演奏的部分時(shí),需要翻回樂(lè)譜正確的位置。由此可知,該工作有很高的要求。.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段中的Silentonstagecommunicationiskey,andeachpianisthastheirownstyleof"nodding"...whichtheyneedtopractisewiththeirpageturner.可知，在舞臺(tái)上演出時(shí)，鋼琴家與樂(lè)譜翻頁(yè)員的默契非常重要,每個(gè)鋼琴家都有自己的“點(diǎn)頭”示意風(fēng)格,所以樂(lè)譜翻頁(yè)員需要和鋼琴家不斷練習(xí)，慢慢磨合，以使翻頁(yè)員能夠明白鋼琴家”點(diǎn)頭”的含義。由此可知，蒂特頓需要練習(xí)識(shí)別鋼琴家”點(diǎn)頭”的含義。.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段中的He'sinterestedinthemusic,feelingeverynote,andIhavetosay:Turn,turn!，可知,鋼琴家瑪麗亞的丈夫經(jīng)常陶醉于音樂(lè)中而忘記翻樂(lè)譜，以至于瑪利亞得提醒他翻頁(yè)。所以鋼琴家瑪麗亞稱她的丈夫是“最差的樂(lè)譜翻頁(yè)員，7.答案：1-4ACDA解析：1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的Millionsofwaterfowlwerekilledatthehandsofmarkethunters...Millionsofacresofwetlandsweredriedto...greatlyreducingwaterfowlhabitat.可知，獵人的捕殺和濕地變干導(dǎo)致的棲息地的減少是水禽數(shù)量減少的重要原因。.詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第一段最后兩句可知,大量水禽被捕殺,且隨著居住人口的增加,大量濕地變干，水禽的棲息地也隨之大大減少,從而導(dǎo)致了水禽數(shù)量減少。因此,此處指那些探險(xiǎn)家和定居者毀壞了很多的自然資源。destroy意為"毀滅;破壞，與畫線詞意思相近。.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段第一句中的About98centsofeveryduckstampdollargoes...Fundtopurchasewetlandsandwildlifehabitat和倒數(shù)第二句Since1934,betterthanhalfabilliondollarshasgoneintothatFundtopurchasemorethan5millionacresofhabitat.可知,自1934年通過(guò)該法案以來(lái),政府已募集了很多資金。.主旨大意題。通讀全文可知,本文主要介紹了北美水禽等野生動(dòng)物遭遇獵殺及其棲息地被破壞后，政府通過(guò)一項(xiàng)法案以防止破壞的持續(xù)發(fā)生，并取得了明顯成效。文章第二、三段介紹了聯(lián)邦鴨票的起源、具體做法及成效，尤其是文章第三段最后一句起到點(diǎn)題的作用。故A項(xiàng)(聯(lián)邦鴨票的故事)適合作為本文標(biāo)題。.答案：1-4DBAB解析：1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段中的Many,peoplenowmisunderstandemotionalintelligenceasalmosteverythingdesirableinaperson'smakeupthatcannotbemeasuredbyanIQtest,suchascharacter,motivation,confidence,mentalstability,optimismand"peopleskillsJ可知，如今，許多人都誤認(rèn)為情商是一個(gè)人的品性、積極性、自信、心理穩(wěn)定性、樂(lè)觀和”人際交往能力”等幾乎所有值得擁有的品質(zhì)。由此可知,大眾對(duì)情商的誤解是認(rèn)為情商指一個(gè)人的優(yōu)良品質(zhì)。.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第一句Weprefertodescribeemotionalintelligenceasaspecificsetofskillsthatcanbeusedforeithergoodorbadpurposes.可知，人們更喜歡把情商描述為一套特定的技能，可以用于好的或是壞的目的；再根據(jù)第二段第二句Theabilitytoaccuratelyunderstandhowothersarefeelingmaybeusedbyadoctor...whileacheatermightuseittocontrolpotentialvictims,可推矢口，本段提及醫(yī)生和詐騙者是以其為例闡明本段首句提出的觀點(diǎn)。推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的theoveralleffectsofthepublicityhavebeenmorebeneficialthanharmful和Themostpositiveaspect…可知，作者認(rèn)為對(duì)情商這一概念的關(guān)注所產(chǎn)生的整體效果利大于弊,并列舉了情商概念大眾化的積極方面，由此可推知，作者對(duì)情商概念大眾化持贊成(favorable)的態(tài)度。主旨大意題。通讀最后一段并根據(jù)最后一段中的wehopethatsuchattentionwillexciteagreaterinterestinthescientificandscholarlystudyofemotion和Itisourhopethatincoming...可知,最后——段主要闡述了對(duì)于未來(lái)有關(guān)情商的研究的期待。9.答案：1-4ABAC解析：1.主旨大意題。第一段最后一句Nowscientistshavefiguredouthowtotapintothatmovementtoproduceelectricity.引出下文第二段的具體講解,再結(jié)合第二段內(nèi)容可知,該段主要講述該發(fā)電設(shè)備是如何工作的，故選A項(xiàng)。2?細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的Volunteerscarriedthepackwhilewalking及theenergy-harvestingpack可知,這個(gè)設(shè)備是在志愿者行走時(shí)收集能量,故選B項(xiàng)。.詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)下文theenergy-harvestingdevicecurrentlyweighsfivepounds...fourpoundstoomanytobeasmartalternative可知，此處描述該裝置存在的問(wèn)題；畫線詞在此處意為”難題”,故選A項(xiàng)。.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的Sotheyhopethatmoreresearchlets...toinsurethepackchargesupwithoutweighingyoudown.可知,研究者接下來(lái)會(huì)研究如何減輕設(shè)備的重量，以確保背包在不拖累你的情況下充電,故選C項(xiàng)。10.答案：1-4DBDB解析：1.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的Itrequiresaverylargelivingplaceandagreatdealofattention.以及Similarly,theballpython...requiresspecialconditionstosurvive.可知，無(wú)論是關(guān)注程度還是生活空間,主人都不可能提供給這些異域動(dòng)物原有的生活環(huán)境，由此可推知,人類飼養(yǎng)的異域?qū)櫸镞^(guò)得不是很愜意,故選D項(xiàng)。2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的Exoticpetowners...inordertofeeladeepconnectiontothenaturalworld.可知,這些寵物主人購(gòu)買這些異域動(dòng)物是為了感受與自然世界的密切聯(lián)系，故選B項(xiàng)。3?細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的Thisnon-nativespeciesmultipliedquickly,seriouslythreateningtheFlorida'secosystem...someemerginginfectiousdiseases可知，隨意飼養(yǎng)異域動(dòng)物會(huì)破壞本地生態(tài)系統(tǒng)、危害人類健康;D項(xiàng)中固定搭配puJatrisk意為”使……處于風(fēng)險(xiǎn)中”，故選D項(xiàng)。4.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段中的Butundomesticatedpetsmayaffectthehealthandsafetyofboththeanimalsandthepeoplewhokeepthem.以及最后一段最后一句Petownershipofanykindisaseriousresponsibility...underthecareofhumans.可知,將未馴化的動(dòng)物養(yǎng)為寵物不但會(huì)危害動(dòng)物的健康和安全,還會(huì)給人類帶來(lái)不好的影響,而且飼養(yǎng)任何種類的寵物都是一項(xiàng)嚴(yán)肅的責(zé)任,不能隨意拋棄，由此可推
