【刘凯老师解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了AbbyGagne一家人制作枫糖浆，介绍了制作枫糖浆的过程以及美国人制作枫糖浆的历史。
24．细节理解题，根据第一段“StartinginearlyJanuary,15-year-oldAbbyGagnespentsomeweekendswalkingthroughsnowinthe330acresofwoodsaroundherhouse“tapping”trees.Abby’sfamilyaresugarmakers.Forfivegenerations,herfamilyhavecollectedsapfrommapletrees.TheyboilitdownintothethicksweetsyrupthatNorthAmericanslovetoapplyontheirpancakes.(从1月初开始，15岁的艾比·加涅花了几个周末在她家周围330英亩的树林里徒步“敲打”树木。艾比的家人都是制糖商。她家五代人都在收集枫树的汁液。他们把它熬成北美人喜欢涂在煎饼上的浓糖浆)”可知，AbbyGagne在周末帮助父母收集树液来热制枫糖浆。故选D。
25．主旨大意题。根据第三段“Plastictubeshookuptothetapsandconnectthemtooneanother.Thesapflowsintoacollectiontankinthewoods.Fromthecollectiontank,theGagnespumpthesapintoama-chinetoremovealotofthesap’swater.Thenitsmovedintoanevaporatorinabuildingcalled“sugarhouse”.TheGagnesmakeafireoutofmaplewoodchips.Thefireheatsthesapandboilsit.Whenitreaches219degrees,thesyrupisreadytobemade.(塑料管连接在水龙头上，并将它们相互连接。树液流入树林里的一个收集槽。加涅斯将树液从收集槽中泵入一台机器，以去除树液中的大量水分。然后它被转移到一个叫做“糖屋”的建筑中的蒸发器中。加涅一家用枫木屑生火。火加热汁液，使其沸腾。当温度达到219度时，糖浆就准备好了)”可知，该段主要介绍了制作枫糖浆的过程。故选C。
26．词句猜测题，根据画线词上文“Thesecontainerscouldpreventsyrupfrom”以及后文“allowedthemtoshipitfarfromhome”可知，这些容器可以防止糖浆渗漏，便于他们将糖浆运到远离家乡的地方，故seep意为“渗漏，渗”。A.Breaking打破；B.Blowing吹；C.Looking看；D.Leaking渗漏。故选D。
27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“SugarmakersshouldthanknativeAmericansfortheirknowledge.Whitesettlersasearlyas1600slearnedthecraftfromtheOjibweandothertribes.Earlynativetechniquesweresimilartothosesugarmakersusenowexceptthattheycollectedsapinbarkbowlsbeforeboilingitoveranopenfire.Eitherway,theresultingmaplesyrupwas,andistasty.(制糖商应该感谢印第安人的知识。早在17世纪，白人定居者就从Ojibwe和其他部落那里学会了这种手艺。早期的本土技术与现在的制糖人使用的技术相似，只是他们把树汁收集在树皮碗里，然后在明火上煮。无论哪种方法，得到的枫糖浆都很美味)”可推知，美国人制作枫糖浆的历史悠久。故选B。
