21. C 细节理解题。根据第三段中 “What makes flying kites during this day special is that peple cut the string while the kite is in the sky t let it fly freely.” 可知在清明这个节气期间，特别的是风筝在空中的时候，人们剪断绳子，让风筝在空中自由飞翔，由此判断出C项正确。

【语篇解读】
本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了小号乐手Bryant成名的过程很缓慢，得到的赞誉远不及她应得到的那么多，但是她越过人生的障碍，最终获得了成功。
【详情解析】
24．词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Bryant, a barrier breaker wh std firm in her determinatin t be a respected jazz trumpet player despite the pen sexism (性别歧视) that shadwed her”(Bryant虽然一辈子都被公然的性别歧视所困扰，但她突破屏障，下定决心要成为一名备受尊敬的爵士小号手)可知，Bryant虽然她一辈子都被公然的性别歧视所困扰，但她决心成为一名受尊敬的爵士小号手。结合划线词前“It was a man’s wrld, and that made it hard fr her. But that nly fueled her fire, and made her mre reslved”(那是男人的世界，这让她很为难。但那只能点燃她的斗志，让她更加reslved)可知，性别歧视并未能阻挡Bryant成为一名爵士小号手，反而使她更加下定决心成为一名爵士小号手，所以可以推断出画线单词“reslved”意思是“下定决心的”，与“determined”意思一致。故选D项。
25．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But by 1992, she was living n Scial Security, staying at a sn’s Lng Beach, in Califrnia, apartment, and tw f her trumpets were in the pawnshp (典当铺).”(到了1992年，她却只能靠社会保险金生活，住在儿子位于加州长滩的公寓，两把小号都被送进了典当铺。)可推知，作者提及“社会保险金”是为了证实她当时经济状况的窘迫，从侧面反应她成名过程中的奋斗与艰辛。故选B项。
26．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Bryant, a barrier breaker wh std firm in her determinatin t be a respected jazz trumpet player despite the pen sexism (性别歧视) that shadwed her, died n August 25, in 2019, in Ls Angeles, when she was 92. Life as a jazz trumpeter was an uphill battle, said her sn Darrin. “It was a man’s wrld, and that made it hard fr her. But that nly fueled her fire, and made her mre reslved.””(Bryant虽然一辈子都被公然的性别歧视所困扰，但她突破屏障，下定决心要成为一名备受尊敬的爵士小号手。她的儿子Darrin说，爵士乐小号手的生活是一场艰苦的战斗。“那是个男人的世界，这让她很为难。但那只能点燃她的斗志，让她更加坚定要成为一名，爵士乐小号手。”)可推知，公然的性别歧视使得Bryant的成长历程充满艰辛，这也是她被低估的关键原因。故选A项。
27．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“It was her father wh encuraged her t d whatever she wanted t d that made her strnger and strnger.”(正是她的父亲鼓励她去做任何她想做的事情，这使她变得越来越强大。)可知，父亲的鼓励是她坚持自己的梦想的关键，起到重要作用。故选D项。

28. D细节理解题。根据第一段的“Many peple wrngly believe that factrs like hunger r bredm and depressin are the main causes f vereating, but their research has shwn therwise. It is thught that we vereat if the fd is gd r if we're really hungry. In reality, thse are tw f the last things that determine hw much we eat.(许多人错误地认为，饥饿、无聊和抑郁是暴饮暴食的主要原因，但他们的研究表明，情况并非如此。人们认为，如果食物很好，或者我们真的很饿，我们就会吃得过多。事实上，这是决定我们吃多少的最后两件事。)”可知，这个研究表明饥饿并不是暴饮暴食的关键因素。故选 D。
29. B细节理解题。根据第二段的“The ffice wrkers ate five mre candies each day when the jar was clser t them, equaling an additinal 125 calries a day.(当罐子离他们较近时，办公室职员每天会多吃5 块糖果，相当于每天多摄入125卡路里。 )” 和 “ ‘If smething is visible, every time we see it, we have t make a decisin: t eat it r nt?’ the researcher explained.(研究人员解释说:“如果某些东西是可见的，我们每次看到它时都必须做出决定：吃还是不吃?”)”可推断，办公室职员会因为看得见而吃更多的糖果。 故选 B。
30. C 细节理解题。根据最后一段的 “Researchers f the lab advise a gradual apprach in changing eating habits. Peple can cut a cuple f hundred calries a day by ding things such as aviding pen fd dishes at the ffice, using smaller serving bwls, sitting next t the slwest eater and being the last ne t start eating.(实验室的研究人员建议循序渐进地改变饮食习惯。人们每天可以通过一些事情来减少几百卡路里的热量，比如在办公室里避免打开食物，使用较小的餐具，坐在吃得最慢的人旁边，以及最后一个开始吃饭。)”可知，在改变饮食习惯方面，建议使用更小的餐具。 故选C。
31. D 推理判断题。根据第一段的 “In recent years, researchers f Crnell University’s Fd and Brand Lab are studying hw envirnmental factrs influence many Americans t unnticeably eat t much.(近年来，康奈尔大学的食品和品牌实验室的研究人员正在研究环境因素如何影响许多美国人不加注意地吃得过多。 )” 以及最后一段的 “The findings in ther researches have shwn that we tend t eat mre when we use larger dishes, eat in frnt f the televisin, r dine with smene wh eats a lt.(其他研究发现，当我们使用更大的盘子、在电视机前吃饭或和吃得多的人一起吃饭时，我们倾向于吃得更多)” 以及最后一段的建议可知，本文主要讲述了研究发现环境因素影响我们吃得过多，并给出了逐渐改变饮食习惯，减少食物摄入的建议，因此推断本文的目的是建议人们成为一个警觉的饮食者。故选 D。

33．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Parents need t prvide rules, while als remaining flexible(灵活的) and respectful f the grwing teens’ need fr freedm. Fr example, teenagers will ften feel frustrated, embarrassed, and even angry that thught they want freedm, they still need t ask their parents fr an agreement t g t a friend’s huse, r need their mthers t take them t schl. (父母需要制定规则，同时也要保持灵活性，尊重成长中的青少年对自由的需求。例如，青少年经常会感到沮丧，尴尬，甚至生气，尽管他们想要自由，他们仍然需要征求父母的同意去朋友家，或需要他们的母亲送他们去学校。)”可知，举例是为了说明青少年既需要自由又需要适当的规则。故选C项。
34．细节理解题。根据第四段中“The US Department f Educatin says that parents shuld respect and supprt their teen’s chices as lng as thse chices wn’t have lng-term harmful effects. (美国教育部表示，父母应该尊重和支持青少年的选择，只要这些选择不会产生长期的有害影响。)”可知，对于青少年，父母应该支持他们有益的爱好。故选A项。

七选五
【解题导语】 这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了为什么人们不能停止触摸博物馆的展品?
36. C 上文“Museum guards say it's impssible t stp peple frm breaking the n-tuch rule.(博物馆的保安说，不可能阻止人们违反禁止接触的规定。)”说明要完全地阻止人们不接触展品是不可能的。故可推断空格处内容为解释为什么会是这样的情况。 结合C项“Yu stp100 peple tuching and there are 200 mre.(你阻止了100个人的接触，然后还有200个人。)”与该推断一致，为上文的解释。 故选C项。
37. D 上文“Mst museum-ging is still a mainly visual(视觉的) experience fr visitrs t admire the artwrks.(大多数参观博物馆的游客仍然主要是通过视觉体验来欣赏艺术品。)”以及下文“But ver the past few years, mre and mre museums have been wrking t include additinal senses, like sunds and smells.(但在过去几年里，越来越多的博物馆一直在努力添加额外的感官，比如声音和气味。)”中“But”可知，和空格处形成了转折，故可推断空格处内容仍然在强调通过视觉体验，也是对上文的补充说明。 结合 D 项“Visitrs learn mre abut bjects frm reading signs arund.(通过阅读周围的标记，你会对物体有更多的了解。)”对上文的补充，以及符合下文的逻辑关系。故选 D项。
38. G 下文“Befre there were museums, there were curisity rms filled with a cllectin f interesting bjects frm arund the wrld.(在博物馆出现之前,有一些摆满了来自世界各地的有趣物品的好奇室。)”中“curisity rms”为关键词,选项G“Museums have cme a lng way since the time f the curisity rm.(自好奇室时代以来，博物馆已经走过了漫长的道路。)”中也提到“curisity rm”,再结合语意下文为空格处的解释说明,语意连贯。故选 G项。
39. F 由上文“Smaller museums still smetimes encurage visitrs t tuch their bjects.(较小的博物馆有时仍然鼓励参观者触摸他们的物品。)”中“Smaller”，以及句意，可推断空格处为相反意思的表达。F 项“But the bigger nes prefer t advertise themselves as n tuching.(但大一点的更喜欢标榜自己“不接触”。)”中“bigger”和上文“Smaller”呼应,为一对反义词，以及与上文语意构成转折关系。故选 F 项。
40. E 由下文“Visitrs say that they want t feel hw deep an engraving(雕刻) ges, s as t better understand the artistic skills. In this way, tuching is part f trying t smehw make cntact with the past.(参观者们说,他们想要感受雕刻的深度，以便更好地了解艺术技巧。通过这种方式，触摸是试图以某种方式与过去联系的一部分。)”可推断，空格处内容为“如果你想更好地了解它，应用去触摸它”。 E 项“Yu can't really learn mre abut bjects unless yu tuch them.(除非你触摸物体,否则你无法真正了解它们。)”与此推断内容一致，为下文意思的总结。故选 E项。
