26、rrow from the 17,000 books 24 hours a day. The library is never crowded as there are only 24 excellent boy students at the college. And there are only 5 professors. These teachers believe in the idea of the college. They are not well paid. In fact, their salaries are only about 9,000 dollars a year.

27、 The college gives the teachers and students something more important than money. There is no place like Deep Springs.

37、but astronomers believe they have a pretty good idea of the range.Currently,the most widely accepted age for the universe is around 13.8 billion years,but determining the age of.well,everything,is no easy feat(功绩）.Now.new studies have investigated the question using different methods-and theyve come

38、 up with two different answers,separated by more than a billion years.Because the universe is expanding at an accelerating pace,the further away an object is,the faster it appears to be moving away from us.This is expressed as the Hubble constant（哈勃常数），and its a key factor in figuring out the age of

39、 the universe.After all.if we can determine how fast objects moving away from us,we can rewind that process to its beginning-the Big Bang.Researchers from the University of Oregon set out to map the distance to dozens of galaxies The team calculated that the universe is only 12.6 billion years old-t

40、hat,you might notice is much younger than the 13.8 years usually stated.In the second study,the method of figuring out the age of the universe is by mapping the oldest light we can detect.We are restoring the baby photo of the universe to its original condition, removing the wear and tear of time an

41、d space that distorted(扭曲）the image, says Neelima Sehgal, co-author on the study.Only by seeing this sharper baby photo or image of the universe can we more fully understand how our universe was born.In doing so, the researcher determined that the universe is 13.8 billion years old-in agreement with

42、 the accepted age.The real problem though,is that the studies disagree so wildly with each other, to the tune of a billion years.But they are not the only ones-the battle lines are commonly drawn by the methods used. Obviously.more research is heeded to determine where the truth lies.24. What do we

43、know about the universe from the first two paragraphs?A. It doesnt exist long.B. It becomes larger.C. It runs away.D. It causes the Big Bang.25. What makes the researchers in the first study think the universe is much younger?A. The speed of moving objects.B. The number of galaxies.C. The process of

44、 the universe evolution.D. The distance to other objects.26. How does Neelima Sehgal explain their method in the second study?A. By referring to a similar thing.B. By using hard scientific data.C.

C【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述宇宙的寿命。24题详解】细节理解题。由题干要求定位开头两段，由第二段第一句“Because the universe is expanding at an accelerating pace,the further away an object is,the faster

46、 it appears to be moving away from us.(因为宇宙以加速的速度扩大，一个物体越远，它看起来就移动得离我们越远)”可知，宇宙变得更大。故选B项。【25题详解】推理判断题。第一个研究，回归到第二段，根据第二段中“Researchers from the University of Oregon set out to map the distance to dozens of galaxies. The team calculated that the universe is only 12.6 billion years old(来自俄勒冈大学的研究者开始着手绘

47、制到几十个星系的距离图。这个团队计算出宇宙只有126亿岁)”可知，是到其他天体的距离使第一个研究中的研究者认为宇宙更年轻。故选D项。【26题详解】推理判断题。由题干要求：”NS如何解释研究二的方法?” 结合原文第三段第二句话“We are restoring the baby photo of the universe to its original condition, removing the wear and tear of time and space that distorted(扭曲）the image, says Neelima Sehgal, co-author on the

48、study.(这个研究的联合作者Neelima Sehgal说，我们正在修复宇宙的婴儿照片至原本的状态，移除使形象扭曲的时间及空间的衣服和眼泪)”可知，Neelima Sehgal用一个给婴儿擦眼泪和脱衣服的比喻，比喻最早产生的光在宇宙中变化的逆过程，所以Neelima Sehgal引用了一个相似的事物进行了比喻。故选A项。【27题详解】主旨大意题。本篇为科学研究文，文章结构是总-分-总，主旨一般在首段。结合第一段第一句“The universe likes to be shy about its age,but astronomers believe they have a pretty g

49、ood idea of the range.(宇宙羞于谈及年龄，但是天文学家们相信，他们很清楚这个范围)”及currently,.,separated by more than a billion year.可知，文章主要讲述人们采取不同方法测得的宇宙寿命不同。所以C项“宇宙多大年纪？”适合作为文章标题，故选C项。CDid you know that the average child has heard the word no over 20,000 times before they turn the age of three? Ironically, it is also around

50、this time that children begin to develop enough personal character to refuse to obey. The terrible twos are categorized by a lack of understanding. Somewhere between three and four, children begin to acquire the skills to reason. It is during this time they watch how other children and adults reason

51、. If were not careful, the children will watch us model a world of NOs。By the time a person turns eighteen, how many times have they been told no? I havent found any studies that even attempted to track this statistic, but Im sure if the number is 20,000 by three, then at eighteen that number has mu

52、ltiplied. You can do the math.Anyway, I think I know why we say no. We say no to protect. We say no to direct. We say no to stop potential confusion. However, do we sometimes say no just for the sake of saying no? Do we say no because we have internalized(内在化)all of the NOs weve heard over the years

53、 and we feel it is finally our time to say no to someone else?The internalized no can damage the growth process of dreams in infancy as quickly as it can weaken a three-year-old. And we wonder why we run into people with big, un-accomplished dreams who have a bit of a chip on their shoulder. They ha

54、ve to take on the 20,000 NOs. However, the thing that keeps them going is the possibility of the power of ONE YES! Just as it only takes one book to make a writer a Pulitzer Prize Winner, it only takes one word to change the course of your day. That word is YES!28. What do we know about two- year- o

55、lds?A. They understand well.B. They often say no to others.C. They think logically.D. They dont do all theyre told.29. What effect does saying no have on children?A. They lose all their dreams.B. They arent easy to succeed.C. They dont make mistakes.D. They never say yes to others.30. Which word bes

A short story.【答案】28. D 29. B 30. B 31. C【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章表达了作者对说“不”的看法。作者认为虽然有时说“不”是出于保护自己，但常常对孩子说“不”会对他们产生消极的影响。为了让孩

57、子有改观，作者建议家长对他们说一句“是”。【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段的it is also around this time that children begin to develop enough personal character to refuse to obey.可知，孩子们在三岁前就开始发展足够的性格来拒绝遵守大人所说的。D. They dont do all theyre told.(他们不会完全按照被告知的去做)符合以上说法，故选D项。【29题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段的The internalized no can damage the growth proc

58、ess of dreams in infancy as quickly as it can weaken a three-year-old. And we wonder why we run into people with big, un-accomplished dreams who have a bit of a chip on their shoulder.(内化的“不”会破坏婴儿时期梦想过程的成长，就像它会削弱三岁小孩那样快。我们也想知道我们为什么会遇到那些有着远大而未实现的梦想的催毛求疵的人。)可知，不断对孩子说“不”，会让孩子的梦想破坏，导致他们最终有很多没有完成的梦想。B. T

59、hey arent easy to succeed.(他们不会轻易成功。)符合以上说法，故选B项。【30题详解】推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其最后一段的However, the thing that keeps them going is the possibility of the power of ONE YES! Just as it only takes one book to make a writer a Pulitzer Prize Winner, it only takes one word to change the course of your day. That w

60、ord is YES!(然而，正真让他们继续走下去的是“是”的力量。就正如只需要一本书就会让作者成为普利策奖得主一样，你只需要一个词来改变你生活轨迹，那就是“是”。)可知，作者从小时候对孩子说“不”的影响，到长大和这一路成长经历对梦想的挫伤，到最后的说一句“是”也可以对孩子们带来巨大的改观。由此推测，作者对一个充斥着“不”的世界的态度是否定的。B. Disapproving. (不赞成的)符合以上推测，故选B项。【31题详解】推理判断题。全文以作者观点为导向表达了作者对说“不”的看法，由此可见是一篇表明个人意见的论文。C. An opinion essay.(一篇观点文章)符合以上推测，故选C

61、项。DIm Jeff Logan, president of Logan Luxury Theaters Corporation. Im very sorry to tell you many cinemas are at risk of closing permanently (永久).

62、enjoyed for a very long time. We all have fond memories of going to a theater of our first dates or the first movie we saw with our children. A movie theater is so important to the fabric of the local community. Its a place where we all gather, no matter what our interests, and no matter what ages,

63、young and old, rich and poor.But how much longer will classic theaters remain open? Just like other industries, movie theaters have been hit hard by the pandemic (流行病) and are going dark.

Its a place where we all gather, no matter wha

70、t our interests, and no matter what ages, young and old, rich and poor.可知，一家电影院对当地社区的fabric来说非常重要。它是一个大家聚会的地方，不论兴趣、年龄、老少、贫富差距。根据句意可知，划线词是指一种建筑，该建筑为当地人提供可以随意聚会的地方。由此猜测，划线部分的意思是“基础建设”。B. Basic structure.(基本结构)符合以上猜测。故选B项。【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段的The entire industry is being controlled by the pandemic, becau

71、se the studios dont want to release their new movies until all the theaters can be open.可知，整个电影行业都受到疫情影响，因为电影工作室不希望在影院复工前上映影片。即，电影工作室不上映电影，是因为电影院没有正常营业。A. Cinemas dont operate normally.(电影院没有正常营业)符合以上说法。故选A项。【34题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段的However, like many theaters, it is only operating at about 10 percent cap

72、acity. Since opening, several new safety measures have been put in place. Block off every other row. People are asked to leave three seats between them and the next group. Staff spray the theater with disinfectant (消毒剂) after every show. And sanitizer stations can be found throughout the theater.(然而

73、，就像很多影院，它只开放10%的容量。自营业以来，几项新的安全措施已经就位。每行隔开。人们被要求在他们和下一组之间留下三个座位。员工在观影结束后喷洒消毒剂。整个电影院都有消毒站)可知，影院减少了载客容量，隔开了观影者的位置，并常常消毒清理。由此推测，他们在防疫这方面做的很好。B. It does well in disease prevention.(它在防疫这方面做得很好)符合以上推测。故选B项。【35题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段的Anyhow, I just hope we must do something else to help out our local theaters, l

74、ike taking part in a new national proposal called “Save Your Cinema.”(不管怎么样，我只希望我们可以做点什么来帮助我们当地的电影院，例如加入一个新的全国性倡议“拯救你的电影院”)可推测，作者写这篇文章的目的是呼吁大家加入“拯救你的电影院”这个行动来为电影行业带来帮助。D.
