eengatheredtobesoldasgoods.”(但贝壳的短缺可能是人为的:漂亮的贝壳早就被收集起来作为商品出售了。),可知贝壳是寄居蟹的住房,但贝壳的短缺可能是人为的,因为漂亮的贝壳早就被人类收集起来作为商品出售了,所以是人类活动导致了寄居蟹的住房短缺。故选B项。【10题详解】推理判断题。由第四段中的“HisinspirationcomesfromthepauseintourismbroughtonbyCOVID-19.Abanoninternationalvisitorsandtheclosureofnationalparkshavehelpednaturerecover,,bringingendangeredleatherbackturtlesbackontoThaibeaches.InthecoastalprovincesofPhangNgaandPhuket,turtleshavelaidthelargestnumberofeggsfor20years.”(他的灵感来自于CO-VID-19带来的旅游业停顿。禁止国际游客和关闭国家公园有助于自然恢复,将濒危的棱皮龟带回泰国海滩。在沿海省份邦加和普吉岛,海龟产卵数量已达20年之久。),可知CO-VID-19的禁令将濒危的棱皮龟带回了泰国海滩,这是自然恢复的例子,而VarawutSilpa-archa的灵感正是来源于这次海龟拯救行动,所以提到海龟是为了说明Varawut灵感的诞生。故选D项。【11题详解】主旨大意题。第一段讲“旅游业下滑期间,许多寄居蟹涌入原本空旷的科兰塔海滩,供它们居住的贝壳变得供不应求”,第二段讲“为了解决寄居蟹住房问题,泰国政府向公众发出呼吁,要求提供净重超过200公斤的空贝壳”,第三段讲“人类活动导致寄居蟹住房短缺”,第四段讲“政府的贝壳行动的目的和灵感来源”,最后一段讲“泰国政府已经决定在未来尝试复制CO-VID-19的政策,使旅游业短暂休息以恢复生态”,可知文章主要讲泰国政府帮助无家可归的寄居蟹寻找庇护所,D项“当局帮助无家可归的寄居蟹寻找庇护所”符合文意。故选D项。DIfMarswerethepopularkidinschool,Venus(金星)wouldbetheunwelcomeonesittinginthecorner,largelyignored.VenushasnearlythesamemassandsizeasEarth,butbeingclosertothesun,itgetsnearlytwiceasmuchheatfromthesun.However,insteadofhavingaclimatethatisjustawarmerversionofEarth’s,Venus’ssurfaceandatmosphereareunbearable:cloudsofsulphuricacid(硫酸)blankettheplanet,whileatgroundlevel,itishotenoughtomeltlead.Despitethis,thereisnowasignthatVenusmayharbourlife.JaneGreavesatCardiffUniversity,UK,andhercolleaguesrecentlydetectedphosphine(磷化氢)inVenus’satmosphere,withonepotentialexplanationthatitistheby-productofbiology.ThatisbecausetheonlywaythisgasismadeonEarthisinlaboratoriesorbymicrobes(微生物).Thoughthisdoesn'tmeanitwasproducedbylifeonVenus,attemptstofindnon-biologicalexplanationsforitspresencehavesofarfailed.OurbestwayofconfirmingorrejectingthepossibilityoflifeonVenusistogoandhaveaproperlook.WhileMarshasbeenthefocusofinterplanetaryexplorationeffortslately,thephosphinediscoveryletspeoplelookatVenusinanewlight.AsNASAadministratorJim,Bridenstinetweeted:“It’stimetoprioritizeVenus.”Inthemonthsandyearstocome,computersimulationswillbeusedtofurtherstudythepossiblechemistriesoftheatmosphereonVenus.Morelaboratoryexperimentswillbeconductedtotrytoidentifyotherwaysthephosphinetherecouldbeproduced.However,thereisnoguaranteethattheseeffortswillrevealthetruenatureofthissubstanceonVenus.Anewly-proposedstrategyistodirectlysampletheatmosphereandsurfaceofVenus.Bydoingso,wewouldbeabletotakedirectmeasurementsofphosphine.ThediscoveryofphosphineinVenus'satmosphereisagreataccomplishment.Thescientificeffortsmaybejustwhatweneedtofinallyrefocusonthisneglectedworld.Possibly,thequietkidinthecornermaygetthelastlaugh.12.WhichdescriptionaboutVenusisnottrue?A.ItisalmostaslargeasEarth.B.IthasnearlythesamemassasEarth.C.IthasawarmerEarth-likeclimate.D.Ithastheunbearablesurfaceandatmosphere.13.WhatcanthediscoveryofphosphineonVenusindicate?A.Thiskindofgasisverycommon.B.Theremightexistsignsoflife.C.Manyproductscanbemadewithit.D.Experimentswereonceconductedthere.14.Whatisparagraph5mainlyabout?A.Theapproachestoexploringphosphine.B.Theimportanceofobservations.C.Thepowerofcomputersimulations.D.Thenecessitytoanalysephosphine.15.Whichcanbestdescribetheauthor’sattitudetotheexplorationofVenus?A.Casual.B.Cautious.C.Supportive.D.Doubtful.【答案】12.C13.B14.A15.C,【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。随着磷化氢被发现在金星,科学家们相信金星上可能孕育着生命。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“However,insteadofhavingaclimatethatisjustawarmerversionofEarth’s,Venus’ssurfaceandatmosphereareunbearable:cloudsofsulphuricacid(硫酸)blankettheplanet,whileatgroundlevel,itishotenoughtomeltlead.”(然而,金星的气候并不像地球那样温暖,金星的表面和大气层令人难以忍受:硫酸云覆盖了整个行星,而在地面上,温度高到足以融化铅。)由此可知,C选项“金星有像地球一样温暖的气候”错误。故选C项。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“Despitethis,thereisnowasignthatVenusmayharbourlife.”(尽管如此,现在有迹象表明金星可能孕育生命)根据第三段“JaneGreavesatCardiffUniversity,UK,andhercolleaguesrecentlydetectedphosphine(磷化氢)inVenus’satmosphere,withonepotentialexplanationthatitistheby-productofbiology.”(英国卡迪夫大学的简·格里夫斯和她的同事最近在金星的大气层中发现了磷化氢,一种可能的解释是,它是生物的副产品)由此可知,磷化氢的发现表明金星上可能有生命的迹象。故选B项。【14题详解】主旨大意题。根据第五段“Inthemonthsandyearstocome,computersimulationswillbeusedtofurtherstudythepossiblechemistriesoftheatmosphereonVenus.Morelaboratoryexperimentswillbeconductedtotrytoidentifyotherwaysthephosphinetherecouldbeproduced.However,thereisnoguaranteethattheseeffortswillrevealthetruenatureofthissubstanceonVenus.Anewly-proposedstrategyistodirectlysampletheatmosphereandsurfaceofVenus.Bydoingso,wewouldbeabletotakedirectmeasurementsofphosphine.”(在未来的几个月和几年里,计算机模拟将被用来进一步研究金星大气可能的化学性质。将进行更多的实验室实验,试图确定生产磷化氢的其他方法。然而,不能保证这些努力会揭示金星上这种物质的真实性质。一个新提出的策略是直接对金星的大气层和表面进行取样。通过这样做,我们将能够直接测量磷化氢。)可知,第五段主要是关于探索磷化氢的方法。故选A项。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“ThediscoveryofphosphineinVenus'satmosphereisagreataccomplishment.Thescientificeffortsmaybejustwhatweneedtofinallyrefocusonthisneglectedworld.Possibly,thequietkidinthecornermaygetthelastlaugh.,”(在金星大气中发现磷化氢是一项伟大的成就。科学努力可能正是我们最终重新关注这个被忽视的世界所需要的。也许,角落里安静的孩子会笑到最后。)由此判断出,作者对于探索金星持支持的态度。故选C项。第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Psychologistshavelongbelievedthathumanbeingshaveafairlyconsistent“negativitybias(消极偏见)”thatleadsustop
