B篇【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. B
24. D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Mst f my peers (同龄人) had picked ut their majrs ... wndering abut that.”可知，大多数作者的同龄人已经选好了自己的专业，有些甚至已经规划好了职业，但作者对此仍心存疑惑。不管是选专业还是规划职业，对高中毕业生来说，这都是有关未来（future）的事情，因此，作者在高中毕业后感到迷茫主要是因为她在确定未来方向上遇到了难题。故选D。
25. A 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It wuld cmplement (补充) my cmmunicatins degree ... utside f the prgram ... accmpany the technical skills”可知，作者认为市场营销能够作为她传播学学位的补充，同时也能提供课程之外的必要的商业知识，也就是说市场营销对作者的吸引力主要在于它的商业课程。故选A。

者改变学术道路（转专业）持开放态度。故选B。
C篇【答案】28. B 29. C 30. C 31. A
28. B 细节理解题。根据第一段“A nutrient-rich (营养丰富) diet with few added sugars may slw rates f bilgical aging in wmen, a new research suggests（一项新的研究表明，营养丰富、添加糖少的饮食可能会減缓女性的生物衰老速度）”可知，研究表明，低糖且健康的饮食可能延缓女性的衰老。故选B项。
29. C 推理判断题。根据第三段 “In the study, wmen wh cnsumed higher amunts f added sugars shwed signs f faster cellular aging cmpared t thers, even if they ate ther healthy diet. “Added sugars” refer t sugars that are added t fd during prductin such as thse in sugared drinks and baked gds, as ppsed t the naturally ccurring sugars fund in milk, fruits and vegetables（在这项研究中，与其他人相比，摄入更多添加糖的女性表现出更快的细胞衰老迹象，即使她们吃了其他健康的饮食。“添加糖”是指在生产过程中添 加到食品中的糖，如含糖饮料和烘焙食品中的糖分，而不是牛奶、水果和蔬菜中天然存在的糖分）”可知，添加糖的食物，例如生日蛋糕，会使得细胞衰老更快。故选C项。
30. C 细节理解题。根据第三段“Epel and her clleagues analyzed fd recrds f 342 wmen ver three days. The team then scred each wman’s diet based n hw clsely it fllwed varius established diets: While nutrient-rich diets were tied t slwed aging, added sugars seemed t cntrl the effect. In the study, wmen wh cnsumed higher amunts f added sugars shwed signs f faster cellular aging cmpared t thers, even if they ate ther healthy diet.
（Epel和她的同事在三天内分析了342名女性的饮食记录。然后，研究小组根据每个女性的饮食与各种既定饮食的密切程度对其进行评分：虽然营养丰富的饮食与延缓衰老有关，但添加的糖似乎控制了这种影响。 在这项研究中，与其他人相比，摄入更多添加糖的女性表现出更快的细胞衰老迹象，即使她们吃了其他健康的饮食）”可知，Epel和同事通过比较不同饮食与细胞老化之间的关系来进行研究。故选C项。
31. A 推理判断题。根据最后一段“These data shwed the links between diet and cellular aging, but they were nly a tip f the iceberg. In fact, mre research is needed t assess hw fllwing these diets might affect aging in the lng run.（这些数据显示了饮食与细胞衰老之间的联系，但它们只是冰山一角。事实上，需要更多的研究来评估长期遵循这些饮食会如何影响衰老）”可知，还需要进行更多的研究，由此推知，该研究缺乏进一步的支持。故选A项。
D篇【答案】32. A 33.B 34. D 35.D
32. A 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Nt all awards are as hnrable as the Nbel Prize（并非所有的奖项都像诺贝尔奖一样荣耀）可知，作者认为诺贝尔奖是荣耀的奖项。故选A项。
33. B 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Why have all these awards and ceremnies appeared recently? Shakespeare never wn a prize, nr did Lenard da Vinci r Adam Smith r Charles Dickens.（为什么最近出现了这么多的奖项和颁奖仪式？莎士比亚从未获得过奖项，达芬奇、亚当斯密或查尔斯狄更斯也从未获得过。）”和第五段“Mst awards ceremnies are nw
spnsred (赞助) by big rganizatins r cmpanies. This means that it is nt nly the persn wh wins the award wh benefits—but als the spnsrs.（现在大多数颁奖典礼都是由大型组织或公司赞助的。这意 味着受益的不仅是获奖者，还有赞助商。）”可推知，作者认为不是所有的奖项都颁给了应得的人。B选项“Nt all awards and prizes g t peple wh deserve it.（并不是所有的奖项和奖品都给了实至名归的人。）符合题意。故选B项。
34. D 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在的句子“The Turner Prize is an award fr a British artist—each year it causes cntrversy by giving lts f mney t artists wh d things like displaying their beds, putting animals in glass cases r—this year—building a garden shed. Peple began t wnder whether these wrks were wrth the huge prize!（特纳奖是授予一位英国艺术家的奖项，每年都会引起因为它会给那些做一些事情的艺术家大量的钱，比如展示他们的床，把动物放在玻璃柜里，或者今年建造一个花园小屋。人们开始怀疑这些作品是否值得获得巨额金！）”可知，因 为特纳奖会给那些做一些事情的艺术家大量的钱，比如展示他们的床，把动物放在玻璃柜里，或者今年建造一个 花园小屋。人们开始怀疑这些作品是否值得获得巨额奖金！由此可知，争划线词与D选项“arguments（争论）”同义词。故选D项。
35. D 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Fr many peple, it seems t be a “win-win” situatin, with everyne being happy, but let me ask yu a questin—hw far d yu think that publicity (宣传) and marketing are winning here, and hw much real hnr f achievement is taking place?（对许多人来说，这似乎是一个“双赢”的局面，每个人都很高兴，但让我问你一个问题：你认为宣传和营销在这里有多大的作用，又有多少真正的荣誉和成就正在发生？）”可知，作者认奖项应该被授予真正的成就，而不是宣传和营销。故选D项。
