解析

D1

1. C。根据“As the daughter of two Cuban immigrants, she wasn’t exposed to English until she got to kindergarten.”可知，Delgado接触英语的时间比较晚，是语言问题导致她跟不上学校的课程，故答案选C。

2. A。该文章的核心主题是Delgado热爱数学并且拥有数学天赋。从她的数学老师Alexander Smith和同事Silvina Macho的评价中可以看出Delgado热爱并且擅长数学，故A正确。文章并未提及Delgado的梦想是成为一名数学老师，故B错误。 由“She explains math to you like it’s a recipe to make a cake.”可知，Delgado可以把数学问题解释地条理清晰，并非难事，C错误。而Delgado对于数字敏感是源于她的兴趣和天赋，D错误。

3. B。由“She found that some students doubted her at first when she spoke up in math and science classes because she didn’t look like what they imagined a math expert to be.”可知学生觉得Delgado的长相和想象中数学天才不一样，属于个人偏见，故答案为B。

4. C。根据“It is not dependent on your gender or your ethnicity.” 可知，数学与一个人的性别和种族无关，人人都可以学习，故答案为C。A选项在最后一段并未涉及，故错误。最后一段的核心思想并不是强调数学的重要性，而是表明人人享有学习数学的自由，B错误。D选项是对核心思想的补充，并非是最后一段的主要观点，故错误。

D2

1. C。根据关键词The Dark Towe定位到第二段，由“A mixture of fantasy and western...”可知C正确。根据“this new adaptation of King’s is sure to be on the “to-watch” list of many people”可知，该电影还未上映，故A错误。而“which brings together eight of his books”说明该电影改编自King的8本小说，并非1本，故B错误。文中只提到哈利波特的作者既是 King的竞争对手也是朋友，并未说明两本小说哪个更受欢迎，D错误。
2. B。根据关键词Carrie定位到第五段，由“Tabitha encouraged her husband to continue with it.”可知B正确。根据第四段，King出书所赚的钱不足以维持家人的生活，所以差点放弃，A错误。A选项文中并未提及。King努力在写作方面有所突破并不是鼓励他继续创作Carrie的原因，D错误。

3. D。根据“there’s always a gripping relationship between the victim and villain”可知受害者和反派的人物关系十分引人入胜,“bond”是“relationship”的同义替换，故选D。由倒数第三段可知，King也会写非恐怖类的小说，A错误。文章只是提到小说《丽塔·海华丝和肖申克的救赎》是一个感人的故事，并没有提到King大部分的小说都有一个感人的结局，B错误。

由“The result was Carrie, a bestseller, and, a little later, a movie that made a fortune at the box office.”可知《魔女嘉莉》很畅销，C错误。

4. C。根据“King also has many strings in his regular literary bow”的后文推测可知，King也擅长写非恐怖类的小说，即他的写作风格不止一种，故选C。

D3

1. B。change有“改变、转变”的意思，与“alter”意思较为接近，并且后文“Although this was the first example of an embryo’s genes being changed successfully”中也出现了change作为提示，故B正确。record意为“记录、记载”，故A错误。remove意为“移除、移动”，C错误。increase有“增加，增长”之意，故D错误。

2. C。根据“others believe this could lead to so-called designer babies”和“You could find wealthy parents buying the latest ‘upgrades’ for their children, leading to even greater inequality than we already live with.”可知，人们担心会有经人工设计而培育出的婴儿，而且还会加剧社会的不公，故C正确。

3. A。根据题干关键词“first successful example”定位到第四段，可知其上文是有关基因编辑首次成功的案例，根据“a group of scientists from the US and South Korea worked together to successfully edit a human embryo and remove a genetic mutation that would have led to heart disease.”可知A正确。

4. B。由“we don’t understand human genes enough to give an unborn child great brainpower or amazing singing abilities.”可知，科学家尚未完全了解人类的基因，研究之路还很漫长，故B正确。文中只是说人们希望gene editing可以在未来消除先天缺陷，并未提到这是解决的最好办法，故A错误。C选项文章并未提及，故错误。文章并没有说科学家对于gene editing的发展持悲观态度，而是说要继续使用原有的方法并进行不断地努力和探索，故D错误。

D4

1. C。本题考查该实验的目的，根据第三段“We are both very interested in nature, and the power of colors in things, so it seemed like a perfect combination”一句可知，这两位男孩设计这个课题完全是出于对自然和颜色力量的兴趣，因此答案为C。A项原文只说人们没有考虑过，但这并非他们设计课题的原因；B项让他们感兴趣的并不是鸟类的习性；D项不是原因。

2. D。本题主要考查实验的过程，通过第四段可知，这两位男孩设计了不同颜色的喂食器来收集数据，观察鸟类对于不同颜色的反应，因此答案为D。A项high-tech错误；B项他们并没有记录鸟类是如何在喂食器逗留，也没有记录C项所说具体逗留时间，只记录逗留次数。

3. A。本题考查实验结果，通过第5、6段可知，实验结果是鸟类在蓝色的喂食器处逗留次数最多，绿色次之，因此答案为A，并排除B项。C、D两项不是两个实验的发现，故排除。

4. A。本题考查实验的应用。根据最后一段，这个发现可以应用于飞机相关部位的制造，以用来防止或减少飞机与鸟群相撞的事故，因此答案为A。B、C两项文中未提及；D项错误。

（二）听力材料原文

Learning life skills

As eighth-grader Sam Gerber carefully holds a knife to the outside of a red apple, he slowly cuts away the skin in small pieces. Beside him, his classmate Sabelle Guido waits to chop up the pieces of apple to make some apple crisps (苹果脆).

This is a family and consumer (消费者) science class at Lincoln Middle School in Maine, US. The class is also known as "home ec" - short for home economics, and all eighth-graders at the school have to take it.

In the class, students spend a third of their time on cooking and classic home economics, which includes food safety, knife skills, folding clothes, setting a table, eating healthily, and shopping. They also learn about money management, workplace skills and even childcare.

It’s not always easy to learn these skills. In the class, Guido tried to cut butter into small pieces with a wooden spoon, before learning that she should use a metal knife.

Rhonda Mayer, who’s been teaching the course for 31 years, thinks that kids need these skills. However, across the US, home ec classes are disappearing. Only three states require them, meaning that only about five million students take them, according to a survey by the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences. Nowadays, schools focus more on math, English and science classes. They think home ec classes are for future housewives.

Yet, things may be about to change. Recently, a Maine lawmaker introduced a bill requiring students to take a half-year home economics class. The bill hasn’t yet been voted on, but if it were passed, it would mean that students wouldn’t be able to graduate high school without doing the class.
