33.A【解析】主旨大意题第二段Mitch Prinstein,a professorof clinicalpsychology sortsthe popularinto twocategories:the likableand the status seekers.（临床心理学教授Mitch Prinstein将受欢迎的人分为两类:讨人喜欢的人和追求地位的人）是段落主题句，本段内容分别对the likable和thestatus seekers做了解释，所以本段主要介绍了两种受欢迎的分类，故选A

34.B【解析】推理判断题根据第四段It clearlyshowed thatwhile likabilitycan leadto healthyadjustment（它清楚地表明，可爱可以促使健全的调整），由此推断出，心理学教授Mitch Prinstein的研究表明，最有人望的孩子适应性更强，故选B

7.2019年北京卷之D篇By theend of the century,if not sooner,the world*s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate,according toa newstudy.At theheart of the phenomenonlie tinymarine microorganisms（海洋微生物）called phytoplankton.Because of the waylight reflectsoff theorganisms,these phytoplanktoncreate colourfulpatterns at the ocean surface.Ocean colourvaries fromgreen toblue,depending onthe typeand concentrationof phytoplankton.Climate changewill fuelthe growthof phytoplankton in someareas,while reducingit inother spots,leading tochanges in the ocean*s appearance.Phytoplankton liveat the oceansurface,where theypull carbondioxide（二氧化碳）into the ocean whilegiving offoxygen.When theseorganisms die,they burycarbon in the deepocean,an importantprocess that helps toregulate theglobal climate.But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the oceans warmingtrend.Warming changeskey characteristicsof the ocean andcan affectphytoplankton growth,since theyneed notonly sunlightand carbondioxide togrow,but alsonutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz,a scientistin MITsCenter forGlobal ChangeScience,built aclimate modelthat projectschanges to theoceansthroughout the century.In aworld thatwarms upby3℃,it found that multiplechanges to the colourof theoceans wouldoccur.The modelprojects thatcurrently blueareas withlittle phytoplanktoncould becomeeven bluer.But insome waters,such as those of the Arctic,a warmingwill makeconditions riperfor phytoplankton,and theseareas willturn greener.Not onlyare thequantities of phytoplanktonin theoceanchanging,^she said,“but the type ofphytoplankton ischanging.”

42.What arethe firsttwo paragraphsmainly about A.The variouspatterns at theoceansurface.B.The cause of thechangesinocean colour.C.The waylight reflectsoff marineorganisms.D.The effortsto fuelthe growthofphytoplankton.

43.What doesthe underlinedwordvulnerable^in Paragraph3probably mean A.Sensitive.B.Beneficial C.Significant D.Unnoticeable

44.What canwe learnfrom the passage A.Phytoplankton playa decliningrole in the marineecosystem.B.Dutkiewiczs modelaims toproject phytoplanktonchanges C.Phytoplankton have been used to controlglobal climateD.Oceans withmore phytoplanktonmay appeargreener.

45.What is the mainpurpose of thepassageA.To assessthe consequencesof oceancolour changesB.To analysethe compositionof theocean foodchain C.To explain the effectsof climatechange onoceans D.To introducea newmethod tostudy phytoplankton【语篇解读】本文为说明文一项最新研究表明，由于气候变暖，世界海洋将会变得更蓝、更绿这一现象是因为一种叫做浮游植物的微小海洋微生物，因为光线反射的作用，它们在海洋表面形成了五颜六色的图案但是浮游植物很容易受到海洋变暖趋势的影响气候变暖会改变海洋的主要特征，并影响浮游植物的生长

42.B【解析】段落大意题第一段“By theend of the century.If notsooner,the worldsoceans willbe bluerand greenerthanks toa warmingclimate,according toa newstudy.”可知，到本世纪末，一项新的研究表明，由于气候变暖，如果不尽快的话，世界上的海洋将会变得更蓝、更绿结合第二段“At theheart phenomenonlie tinymarine microorganismscalled phytoplankton.Becaust of the waylight reflectsoff theorganisms,these phytoplanktonscreate colourfulpatterns at theoceansurface.Ocean colourvaries fromgreen toblue,depending onthetypeand concentration”可知，这种现象的核心是一种叫做浮游植物的微小海洋微生物，在光线的作用下在海洋表面形成了五颜六色的图案海洋的颜色从绿色到蓝色不等，这取决于海洋的类型和浮游植物浓度由此可推断出这两段主要叙述了海洋生物是海洋颜色变化的原因分析选项可知B符合题意，故选B

43.A【解析】词义猜测题根据戈1J线词后的“Warming changeskey characteristicsof theocean andcan affectphytoplankton growth,since theyneed notonly sunshineand carbondioxide togrow,but alsonutrients.“可知，气候变暖会改变海洋的主要特征，并会影响浮游植物的生长由此可判断“But phytoplanktonare vulnerableto theoceans wamningtrend”可知，浮游植物很容易受到海洋变暖趋势的影响可知A项正确

44.D【解析】推理判断题根据第四段“The modelprojects thatcurrently blueareas withlittle phytoplanktoncould becomeeven bluer.But insome waters,such asthose of the Arctic,a warmingwill makeconditions riperfor phytoplankton,and theseareas willturn greener”,可知Dutkiewicz的模型预测,目前只有少量浮游植物的蓝色区域可能会变得更蓝但是在一些水域，比如北极，气候变暖会使浮游植物的生长条件更加成熟，而这些水域会变得更绿了“由此可推断，浮游植物的生长条件更加成熟，浮游动植物就更多了，这些水域会变得更绿了分析选项可知D项符合题意

45.C【解析】目的意图题第一段提出文章的主旨“By theend of thecentury.If notsooner,the worldsoceanswillbebluerandgreenerthankstoawarmingclimate,according toa newstudy.”可矢口至U本世纪末――项新的研究表明，由于气候变暖，如果不尽快的话，世界上的海洋将会变得更蓝、更绿再结合第三段“But phytoplanktonare vulnerableto theoceans warningtrendWarming changeskey characteristicsof theocean andcan affectphytoplankton growth,?.」可知，“浮游植物很容易受到海洋警告趋势的影响，变暖改变了海洋的关键特征，并能影响浮游植物的生长工可知本文主要解释气候变化对海洋的影响故选C

8.2019年江苏卷之B篇In the1960s,while studyingthe volcanichistory ofYellowstone NationalPark,Bob Christiansenbecame puzzledabout somethingthat,oddly,had nottroubled anyonebefore:he couldnt find the parks volcano.It hadbeen knownfor along timethat Yellowstonewas volcanicin nature一thafs whataccounted for all itshot springs and othersteamy features.But Christiansencouldnt findthe Yellowstonevolcano anywhere.Most ofus,when wetalk aboutvolcanoes,think of the classiccone（圆锥体）shapes ofa Fujior Kilimanjaro,which arecreated whenerupting magma（岩浆）piles up.These canform remarkablyquickly.In1943,a Mexicanfarmer wassurprised tosee smokerising from a smallpart ofhis land.In oneweek he was theconfused ownerofacone fivehundred feethigh.Within twoyears ithad toppedout atalmost fourteenhundred feetand wasmore thanhalf amile across.Altogether thereare someten thousandof thesevolcanoes onEarth,all buta fewhundred of them extinct.There is,however,a secondles knowntype ofvolcano thatdoesnt involvemountain building.These arevolcanoes soexplosive that they burstopen ina singlebig crack,leaving behinda vasthole,the caldera.Yellowstone obviouslywas ofthis secondtype,but Christiansencouldnt findthe calderaanywhere.Just atthis timeNASA decidedto testsome newhigh-altitude camerasby takingphotographs ofYellowstone.A thoughtfulofficial passedon someof thecopies to the parkauthorities onthe assumptionthat theymight makea niceblow-up forone of the visitors1centers.As soonas Christiansensaw thephotos,he realizedwhy hehad failedto spotthe caldera;almost the whole park-

2.2million acres――was caldera.The explosionhad lefta holemore thanforty milesacross-much toohuge to be seenfrom anywhereat groundlevel.At sometime inthe pastYellowstone musthave blownup with a violencefar beyondthe scaleof anythingknown tohumans.

29.C【解析】细节理解题根据最后一段the biggestfactors drivingup waterstress inthe statehavebeenrising temperatures,...9and earliersnowmelt,…可知，造成加州水资源短缺的最大因素是气温的上升，以及较早的融雪，故选C

30.A【解析】主旨大意题通读全文可知，自20世纪30年代以来，加州已经失去了一半的大树，文章分析了引起该现象的几个主要因素全文围绕“加州森林的大树都去哪儿了”话题展开，故选项A符合题意

10.2018年江苏卷之B篇In the1760s,Mathurin Rozeopened aseries ofshops thatboasted（享有）a specialmeat soupcalled consomme.Although themain attractionwas the soup,Roze*s chainshops alsoset a new standardfor diningout,which helpedto establishRoze asthe inventorofthemodern restaurant.Today,scholars havegenerated largeamounts ofinstructive researchabout restaurants.Take visualhints that influence whatwe eat:diners servedthemselves about20percent morepasta（意大利面食）when theirplates matchedtheir food.When adark-colored cakewas servedonablack platerather thana whiteone,customers recognizedit assweeter andmore tasty.Lighting matters,too.When Berlinrestaurant customersate indarkness,they couldnttell howmuch theyd had:those givenextra-large sharesate more than everyoneelse,none the wiser-they didntfeel fuller,and theywere justas readyfor dessert.Time ismoney,but thatprinciple meansdifferent thingsfor differenttypes ofrestaurants.Unlike fast-food places,fine dining shops prefercustomers tostay longerand spend.One wayto encouragecustomers tostay andorder thatextra round:put onsome Mozart（莫扎特）.When classical,rather thanpop,music wasplaying,diners spentmore.Fast musichurried dinersout.Particular scentsalso have an effect:diners whogot thescent oflavender（薰衣草）stayed longerand spentmore thanthose whosmelled lemon,or noscent.Meanwhile,things thatyou mightexpect todiscourage spending――“bad tables,crowding,high prices――dont necessarily.Diners atbad tables―next tothe kitchendoor,say―spent nearlyas muchas othersbut soonfled.It can be concludedthat restaurantkeepers neednot beoverly concernedabout badtables/*given that theyre profitable.As forcrowds,a HongKong studyfound that they increaseda restaurant^reputation,suggesting greatfood atfair prices.And doublinga buffetsprice ledcustomers tosay thatits pizzawas11percent tastier.
