遠(yuǎn)離可選的在線活動。在30天結(jié)束的時候，你再加上一些你認(rèn)為會給你所看重的東西帶來巨大好處的精

【答案】8.B9.CIO.All.A

【解析】

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了印刷書籍和閱讀對人類的重要意義。

8.推理判斷題。通讀全文，再根據(jù)文章第一段“ReadingArt:ArtforBookLoversisacelebrationofan

everydayobject-thebook,representedhereinalmostthreehundredartworksfrommuseumsaroundthe

world.（Read加gA欣A"/hrBooALovers這一活動是為書籍這一日常物品辦的典禮，這里有來自世界各地

博物館的近三百件藝術(shù)品）”以及倒數(shù)第二段aBeforethewideuseoftheprintingpress,bookswere

treasuredobjectsandcouldbeworksofartintheirownright.（在印刷機(jī)廣泛使用之前，書籍是珍貴的物品，

它們本身就可以成為藝術(shù)品）”可推知，本文最有可能出自一篇關(guān)于著作藝術(shù)的文章。故選B。

9.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。通過文章第二段aartworksareselectedandarrangedinawaythatemphasizesthese

connectionsbetweendifferenterasandcultures.Weseescenesofchildrenlearningtoreadathomeorat

school,withthebookasafocusforrelationsbetweenthegenerations.（藝術(shù)品的選擇和排列方式強(qiáng)調(diào)了不同

時代和文化之間的聯(lián)系。我們看到孩子們在家里或?qū)W校學(xué)習(xí)閱讀的場景，這本書是幾代人之間關(guān)系的焦點(diǎn)）”

可知，選定的藝術(shù)品是關(guān)于書籍和閱讀的。故選C。

10.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞上文wartworksareselectedandarrangedinawaythatemphasizesthese

connectionsbetweendifferenterasandcultures.Weseescenesofchildrenlearningtoreadathomeorat

school,withthebookasafocusforrelationsbetweenthegenerations.（藝術(shù)品的選擇和排歹ij方式強(qiáng)調(diào)了不同

時代和文化之間的聯(lián)系。我們看到孩子們在家里或?qū)W校學(xué)習(xí)閱讀的場景，這本書是幾代人之間關(guān)系的焦點(diǎn)）”

以及“Thesescenesmayhavebeenpaintedhundredsofyearsago,buttheyrecordmoments（這些場景可能

是數(shù)百年前繪制的，但它們記錄了一些時刻）”可推知，此處指書籍是人類之間相互聯(lián)系和理解的紐帶，

故與畫線短語“relateto”意思最相近的為A項(xiàng)“理解、認(rèn)識到“。故選A。

11.推理判斷題。通過文章最后一段"itremainsasinteractiveasanybattery-powerede-reader（它仍然像任

何電池供電的電子閱讀器一樣具有互動性）”以及"printedbookstilloffersthechanceofawhollyprivate,

“off-line”activity（印刷書籍仍然提供了完全私人的“離線”活動的機(jī)會）”可推知，本文作者提到電子閱

讀器想表達(dá)的是印刷書籍并沒有完全過時。故選A。

老年人的健康狀況）”可知，這個項(xiàng)目的目的是為了提高老年人的幸福。故選D。

29.Bo推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第五段""It'sgoodtohaveadifferentfocus.Peoplehavebeenbringingtheir

childrenintoseethehensandresidentscomeandsitoutsidetowatchthem.I'menjoyingthecreative

activities,anditfeelsgreattohavedonesomethinguseful.w（有不同的關(guān)注點(diǎn)很好。人們把自己的孩子帶

進(jìn)來看母雞，居民們也來外面坐著看它們。我喜歡創(chuàng)造性的活動，做一些有用的事情的感覺很好）”可推

知，RuthXavier通過該項(xiàng)目獲得了一種成就感。故選B。

30.Co詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段Residentsreallywelcometheideaoftheprojectandthecreative

歡迎該項(xiàng)目的想法和創(chuàng)意會議。我們期待這個項(xiàng)目能給這里的人們帶來好處和樂趣）”以及劃線處前的“one

【答案】28.A29.B30.D31.B

【導(dǎo)語】本文一篇說明文。為解決司機(jī)在開車時使用手機(jī)造成“分神”，引發(fā)交通事故的問題，紐約的一

名立法者提出使用Textalyzer（短信監(jiān)控器）的技術(shù)來監(jiān)控司機(jī)在開車的時候是否使用了手機(jī)。

28.Ao推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中wOverthelastsevenyears,moststateshavebannedtextingbydrivers,

andpublicservicecampaignshavetriedawiderangeofmethodstopersuadepeopletoputdowntheir

phoneswhentheyarebehindthewheel.w（在過去的七年里，大多數(shù)州都禁止司機(jī)發(fā)短信，公共服務(wù)活動

也嘗試了各種各樣的方法來說服人們在開車時放下手機(jī)。）以及第二段中“Yettheproblem,byjustabout

anymeasure,appearstobegettingworse.w（然而，無論以何種標(biāo)準(zhǔn)衡量，這個問題似乎都在惡化。）可

知，大多數(shù)州使用了各種各樣的方法說服司機(jī)們在開車的時候放下手機(jī)，可是情況卻越來越糟糕。所以各

種方法是無效的。A選項(xiàng)ineffective意為“無效的”，與此相符。故選A。

29.Bo細(xì)節(jié)理解題o根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中"Thetechnologycoulddeterminewhetheradriverhadjusttexted,

emailedordoneanythingelsethatisnotallowedunderNewYork'shands-freedrivinglaws.n（這項(xiàng)技術(shù)可

以確定司機(jī)是否發(fā)了短信、發(fā)了郵件，或者做了紐約免提駕駛法不允許的其他事情。）可知，Textalyzer

能夠確定的是司機(jī)是否使用了手機(jī)發(fā)短信、郵件以及其他駕駛法不允許的行為。B選項(xiàng)意為“是否司機(jī)使

用了手機(jī)。”與此相符，故選B。

30.Do詞義猜測題。根據(jù)句中的“Weneedsomethingonthebooksthatcanchangepeople'sbehavior.n（我

們需要一些能改變?nèi)藗冃袨榈臇|西，）可知，something是能夠改變?nèi)藗兊男袨榈氖虑?。根?jù)下文的“Ifthe

Textalyzerbillbecomeslaw,hesaid,"peoplearegoingtobemoreafraidtoputtheirhandsonthecellphone.”

（他說，如果Textalyzer法案成為法律，“人們會更害怕拿起手機(jī)。）可知，人們的行為會改變的條件是

當(dāng)Textalyzer法案成為法律。收到法律的約束和懲罰，司機(jī)們才不會在開車的時候使用手機(jī)。故something

指代的是法律。故選D。

31.Bo主旨大意題?？v觀全文，第一段和第二段闡述的是“雖然大多數(shù)州已經(jīng)嘗試了各種各樣的方法來說

服人們在開車時放下手機(jī)?？墒菃栴}卻越來越嚴(yán)重”。第三段中“Thatispartlybecausepeoplearedriving

more.”（部分原因是開車的人越來越多）可知，解釋了該行為產(chǎn)生的部分原因。第四段至第五段講述的

是為了解決該問題是紐約立法者提出了一個新的想法即利用Textalyzer技術(shù)，來監(jiān)控司機(jī)在開車的時候是

否使用了手機(jī)。最后一段講述的是：相關(guān)人士呼吁該項(xiàng)技術(shù)能夠成為真正的法案由此才能真正的改變?nèi)藗?/p>

的行為。故B選項(xiàng)TextingandDriving?WatchOutfortheTextalyzer（發(fā)短信還是在開車？防范短信監(jiān)控

器。）適合文章的標(biāo)題。故選B。
