【答案】4.A5.C6.B7.C

【解析】

本文是一篇議論文。文章論述的的是低頭看手機給我們社會帶來的巨大影響和破壞。它也會

讓你失去生命。有很多關(guān)于phubbers（低頭族）的報告，他們死于事故，并且在光天化日之

下被搶了他們的手機。

【4題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句可知，該卡通片中這一連串的事件都在告訴我們低頭看手

機給我們社會帶來的巨大影響和破壞。所以作者提到此短片的目的在于此。故選A。

【5題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段尾句Also,staringatcellphonesforlongperiodsoftimewill

damageyoureyesightgradually,和第三句Constantlybendingyourheadtocheckyour

cellphonecoulddamageyourneck,可知B是正確的。第四段第二句Beingaphubbercould

alsodamageyoursocialskillsanddriveyouawayfromyourfriendsandfamily.可

知A和D是對的，C言過其實，故選C。

【6題詳解】

推理判斷題。從作者提供卡通視頻和后面提到的各種后果可知，作者是反對低頭族的。故

選Bo

【7題詳解】

推理判斷題。文中作者詳細敘述了低頭族給人們的生活帶來危險。接著應(yīng)該介紹了為了消除

這些危險。根據(jù)排除法，根據(jù)A、B、D在文中都已談?wù)撨^，下面應(yīng)該告訴我們減少危害的措

【答案】8.D9.C10.B11.A

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。主要闡述了電子書和電子音樂一樣有危險和機會，即電子書面臨巨大的挑

戰(zhàn)。電子書和電子音樂一樣有危險和機會，即電子書面臨巨大的挑戰(zhàn)。出版商最關(guān)心的是版

權(quán)，但是出版商們對出版行業(yè)的權(quán)利管理有著不同的意見。

【8題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中Electronicbookpublishinghasmanyofthesamerisksand

opportunitiesaselectronicmusicpublishing.Bydeliveringtextdirecttothe

readeryscomputerscreen,thee-bookcouldcutdowncosts,andallowcreatorsto

dealdirectlywiththeiraudience,bypassingtraditionalpublishersandtraders.

Butitalsoraisesthepossibilityofmasspiracy.（電子圖書出版與電子音樂出版有

著許多相同的風險和機遇。通過將文本直接傳送到讀者的電腦屏幕上，電子書可以降低成本,

并允許創(chuàng)作者直接與讀者打交道，而不必經(jīng)過傳統(tǒng)的出版商和貿(mào)易商。但這也增加了大規(guī)模

盜版的可能性。）可知，現(xiàn)在的電子書和電子音樂的相似之處在于他們的價格會大幅度降低。

再根據(jù)Butitalsoraisesthepossibilityofmasspiracy（盜版）.和“Noonewants

Napster（在線音樂服務(wù)）tohappentobooks.”可知電子書有可能增加盜版的風險，而電

子音樂已經(jīng)導致了盜版，所以B錯誤，故選及

【9題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中Atthemoment,mostpublisherswouldliketolimitthe

useofe-bookstothepersonwhoboughtthem,ortothecomputerusedtodownload

them.（目前，大多數(shù)出版商希望將電子書的使用限制在購買電子書的人或下載電子書的電腦

上。）可知，出版商們對出版行業(yè)的權(quán)利管理有著不同的意見，即還沒有統(tǒng)一的觀點，故選C。

【10題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中Publishersjustsaythatuntilcopyrightissecure,weare

notgoingtotalk.（出版商只是說，在版權(quán)得到保護之前，我們不會再討論。）可知出版商

最關(guān)心的是版權(quán)，故選B。

版有著許多相同的風險和機遇。）以及文章主要內(nèi)容可知主要說明了如今的電子書和電子音樂

一樣有危險和機會，即電子書面臨巨大的挑戰(zhàn)。故選A。

【答案】12.B13.A14.1)15.C

【解析】

本文為說明文。一項最新研究表明，由于氣候變暖，世界海洋將會變得更藍、更綠。這一現(xiàn)

象是因為一種叫做浮游植物的微小海洋微生物，因為光線反射的作用，它們在海洋表面形成

了五顏六色的圖案。但是浮游植物很容易受到海洋變曖趨勢的影響。氣候變暖會改變海洋的

主要特征，并影響浮游植物的生長。

【12題詳解】

推理判斷題。第一段"Bytheendofthecentury.Ifnotsooner,theworld'soceanswill

bebluerandgreenerthankstoawarmingclimate,accordingtoanewstudy.w可知，

到本世紀末，一項新的研究表明，由于氣候變暖，如果不盡快的話，世界上的海洋將會變得

更藍、更綠。結(jié)合第二段"Attheheartphenomenon1ietinymarinemicroorganismscalled

phytoplankton.Becaustofthewaylightreflectsofftheorganisms,these

phytoplanktonscreatecolourfulpatternsattheoceansurface.Oceancolourvaries

fromgreentoblue,dependingonthetypeandconcentration可知，這種現(xiàn)象的核心

是一種叫做浮游植物的微小海洋微生物，在光線的作用下在海洋表面形成了五顏六色的圖案。

海洋的顏色從綠色到藍色不等，這取決于海洋的類型和浮游植物濃度。由此可推斷出這兩段

主要敘述了海洋生物是海洋顏色變化的原因。分析選項可知B符合題意，故選B。

【13題詳解】

詞義猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞后的“Warmingchangeskeycharacteristicsoftheoceanandcan

affectphytoplanktongrowth,sincetheyneednotonlysunshineandcarbondioxide

togrow,butalsonutrients.可知，氣候變暖會改變海洋的主要特征，并會影響浮游植

物的生長。由此可判斷“ButphytoplanktonarevulnerabletotheoceanJswamning

trend"可知，浮游植物對海洋變暖很敏感。故劃線部分單詞意思為“敏感的；靈敏的”可知

A項正確。

【14題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段"Themodelprojectsthatcurrentlyblueareaswithlittle

phytoplanktoncouldbecomeevenbluer.Butinsomewaters,suchasthoseoftheArctic,

awarmingwillmakeconditionsriperforphytoplankton,andtheseareaswillturn

greener"可知，Dutkiewicz的模型預測，目前只有少量浮游植物的藍色區(qū)域可能會變得更藍。

但是在一些水域，比如北極，氣候變暖會使浮游植物的生長條件更加成熟，而這些水域會變

得更綠了”。由此可推斷，浮游植物的生長條件更加成熟，浮游動植物就更多了，這些水域

會變得更綠了。分析選項可知D項符合題意。

【15題詳解】

主旨大意題。第一段提出文章的主旨“Bytheendofthecentury.Ifnotsooner,the

world，soceanswillbebluerandgreenerthankstoawarmingclimate,accordingto

anewstudy.”可知，到本世紀末。一項新的研究表明，由于氣候變暖，如果不盡快的話，

世界上的海洋將會變得更藍、更綠。再結(jié)合第三段“Butphytoplanktonarevulnerableto

theocean'swarningtrendWarmingchangeskeycharacteristicsoftheoceanandcan

affectphytoplanktongrowth,可知，“浮游植物很容易受到海洋警告趨勢的影響，變

暖改變了海洋的關(guān)鍵特征，并能影響浮游植物的生長”，可知本文主要解釋氣候變化對海洋

的影響。故選C。

第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多于選項。

性。

說明，下文是運動員和歌手的例子，故選E項。

方式在人們中間創(chuàng)造了一種名人文化，符合本段內(nèi)容，故選G項。

[20題詳解】

本段中分析了這種愿望的不現(xiàn)實性，及可能會對他們的幸福產(chǎn)生負面影響。F項：原因是他們

沒有意識到，要想變得富有和出名，需要天賦和勤奮，是成功的真正原因，符合本段內(nèi)容，
