6（此外，任何希望攻读学位的员工在被视为学位候选人之前，必须先申请并被他或她选择的课程接受。）可知，对想攻读学位的员工来说，需要有相关课程的入学申请。故选D项。B【答案解析】4.D 5.A 6.C 7.B【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了古道尔小时候喜欢研究蚯蚓，长大后善于观察动物，一生致力于研究黑猩猩。【4题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段内容““She’dfoundI’dtakenawholehandfulofearthwormstobedwithme,”Goodallsaid,“andinsteadofgettingmad,shesaidveryquietly,‘They’lldieifyouleavethemhere,theyneeddirt.’Sotogetherwetookthembackintothegarden.””（“她发现我带了一整把蚯蚓上床睡觉，”古道尔说，“她没有生气，而是非常平静地说，‘如果你把它们留在这里，它们会死的，它们需要泥土。’所以我们一起把它们带回了花园。”）可知，当古道尔的妈妈发现她把蚯蚓带到床上时，没有生气，而是平静地告诉她蚯蚓需要泥土，由此可推断出，蚯蚓的故事表明古道尔的母亲知道如何支持女儿对动物的兴趣，而不是打击她。故选D项。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段关键句““HejustsawthatIwasverypassionateaboutbeingoutinthewildernessandanimalsandthatIwasagoodobserver,”Goodallsaid.“Mostimportantofall,hecouldseeIhadpatienceandthatIknewhowtobehaveoutinthebusheventhoughIhadn’tgrownupthere.””（古道尔说：“他只是看到我非常热衷于在野外和动物在一起，而且我是一个很好的观察者。”“最重要的是，他能看出我很有耐心，而且我知道如何在灌木丛中表现，尽管我不是在那里长大的。”）可知，LouisLeakey认为古道尔是一个很好的动物观察者，由此可知，LouisLeakey在古道尔身上看到了观察动物的天赋。故选A项。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段关键句““Thereisnosharplinedividingusfromtherestoftheanimalkingdom,”Goodallsaid.“It’saveryblurry(模糊的)line,anditteachesussoclearlythatwearenotseparatefromtherestoftheanimalkingdom,butpartofit.””（古道尔说：“没有一条清晰的界线将我们与动物王国的其他部分区分开来。”“这是一条非常模糊的界线，它清楚地告诉我们，我们不是与动物王国的其他部分分离，而是动物王国的一部分。”
7）可知，古道尔认为人类不是与动物王国的其他部分分离，而是动物王国的一部分。由此可知，古道尔认为人类属于整个动物王国。故选C项。【7题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章内容和最后一段“At86yearsold,Goodallstilliseducating,discoveringandworkingtobridgethegapbetweenmanandchimpanzee.”（86岁的古道尔仍在教育、发现和努力弥合人类和黑猩猩之间的鸿沟。）可知，本文主要介绍的是珍妮·古道尔的职业经历，她的一生都致力于研究黑猩猩。“Goodalldevotedherlifetostudyingchimps.”意为“古道尔一生致力于研究黑猩猩。”能够概括文章主要内容。故选B项。C【答案解析】8.C 9.C 10.B 11.D【分析】本文是一篇说明文。屏幕时间导致美国人坐立的时间更久，而这会威胁他们的健康。因此，专家建议美国人应该多动少坐，而心理学家建议人们可以将运动和屏幕时间相结合。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Inanewstudy,researchersanalyzedpreviouslycollectedsurveydatafrommorethan50000Americanchildren,teenagersandadults.(在一项新的研究中，研究人员分析了之前收集的50000多名美国儿童、青少年和成年人的调查数据。)”可知，在新的研究中，研究者们对之前的数据进行了分析。故选C。【9题详解】词义猜测题。根据画线词后“…isnotuniquetotheUnitedStates.‘OtherstudiesoutofEuropeandAustraliahavealsofoundincreasesinsittingtime,’(……并非美国独有。“欧洲和澳大利亚的其他研究也发现人们坐着的时间增加了，”)”可推断，画线部分指代“坐立时间的增加”。故选C。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段、尤其是“Toupyouractivetime，sherecommendsfindingwhatattractsyou.(为了增加你的活动时间，她建议找到吸引你的东西。)”可知，ErinO’Loughlin关于“多动的方法”的观点是“兴趣很重要”。故选B。【11题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文、尤其是文章第一段“AnationalsurveyfindsthatAmericansofallagesarespendingmoretimesitting.Sittingtoomuch——especiallywhenwatchingtelevision,phonesorotherscreens—canbebad
8forpeople’shealth,researchsuggests.”可知，一项全国调查发现，所有年龄段的美国人坐着的时间都在增加。研究表明，久坐——尤其是看电视、手机或其他屏幕时——可能对人体健康有害。所以“ScreenTimeBringsHealthRisktoAmericans(长时间看电视给美国人带来健康风险)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。D【答案解析】12.A 13.A 14.D 15.D【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了，很多艺术作品的设计都基于数学方法，这证明了数学与艺术的完美结合。【12题详解】推理判断题。由第二段“Themeetingincludedanentireartexhibition.Visitorsfeltamazedatsculpturesmadefrommetal,woodandfoldedpaper.OnewasbasedonasupersizedRubik’scube.Manyliketriangles,werearrangedinstrangeandsurprisingsizesandcolor1s.Thecollectionalsoincludeddrawingsandpaintingsinspiredbythestudyofnumbers,curves（曲线）andpatterns.”（会议包括一个完整的艺术展览。游客们对由金属、木材和折叠纸制成的雕塑感到惊讶。一个是基于一个超大的魔方。许多像三角形，排列在奇怪和令人惊讶的大小和颜色。这些收藏品还包括以研究数字、曲线和图案为灵感的绘画作品。），可知这个展览会上的展品许多都与数学有关，可推断出会上的展品都是根据数学的概念或想法而制作的。故选A项。【13题详解】推理判断题。由第三段中的“Peopleusuallyexperienceartthroughtheirsenses.Theyseeapaintingorlistentomusic.Ifthisartmovesthem,theywillhaveanemotional（情感上的）response.Workingatmathproblemsisusuallyviewedassomethingyouthinkabout—notfeel.”（人们通常通过感官来体验艺术。他们看一幅画或听音乐。如果这门艺术打动了他们，他们会有一种情绪化的反应。做数学题通常被认为是你思考而不是感觉到的事情。），可知艺术是一种情绪化的反应，数学是一种理性化思考，艺术和数学的体验方式是不同的，所以作者认为它们的结合可能看起来很奇怪。故选A项。【14题详解】推理判断题。由最后一段中的“Still,Segerman’smathstudiesledhimintothevisualareasofmath,suchasgeometry.In2015,Segermanandsomemathartfriendscreatedavirtual-realityartwork.ParticipantscanputonapairofVRgogglestofloataroundandthroughfour-dimensionalshapes.Artmakesitpossibletointeract（互动）withtheseshapes,whichwouldbeimpossibletocreateinourthree-dimensionalworld.”
9（不过，塞格曼的数学研究使他进入了数学的视觉领域，比如几何。2015年，塞格曼和一些数学艺术朋友创作了一幅虚拟现实艺术作品。参与者戴上一副四维形状的护目镜。艺术使与这些形状的互动成为可能，这在我们的三维世界中是不可能创造的。），可知塞格曼把他的数学思维运用进了艺术创作中，创作出了三维世界中不可能创造的事物，塞格曼的故事说明数学学习可以推动艺术创作。故选D项。【15题详解】主旨大意题。由第一段中的“Manyevencametoadmirethelatestinmathematicalart.”（许多人甚至开始欣赏最新的数学艺术。），第二段讲的“会上的展品都是根据数学的概念或想法而制作”，第三段中的“Artandmathmayseemlikeastrangepairing.”（艺术和数学似乎是一对奇怪的组合。）和“Butconnectionsbetweenthetwofieldsreachfarbackintime.”（但这两个领域之间的联系可以追溯到很久以前。），第五六段讲的“塞格曼学习数学可以推动艺术创作的故事”，可知本文主要介绍的内容是：很多艺术作品的设计都基于数学方法，这证明了数学与艺术的完美结合。故选D项。
