天寒冷刺骨。不僅如此，他們頭頂上還高聳著一座山，非常陡峭，常常會有石頭從山的兩側滾下

行仔細分析，結合選項選出正確答案。

8?11.【答案】C、A、D、C

【解析】【文章大意】本文主要講的是新技術的出現給我們的生活和社會帶來很大的影響，有積

極的方面也有消極的方面。但是真正決定技術是否能夠影響人類的生活，取決于人們對待技術的

態度。

1.根據第一段的“Allthese,however,remainstrueonlyinsofaraspeoplewanttoaccepttechnologyand

moveforwardbyfindingnewandmoreefficientwaysofdoingthings."只要人們想要接受新的技術并

且繼續努力向前找到做事的更好的更高效的方法，那么技術的進步是可以給我們帶來很多的好處

的。可知根據第一段，當人們愿意接受技術并穩步前進時，進步可以造福于人們，故選C。

2.A.tools工具；B.messages消息；C.barriers障礙物；D.skills技術。根據本句的"Withthe

communicationgadgets,suchasmobilephonesandipads"有了通訊設備，比如手機和ipad。關鍵是橫

線后面的"mobilephonesandipads,”可知這些都是人們經常使用的交流工具，所以該詞意為"工具"。

故選Ao

3.根據劃線下面“Whencommunicationbecomesefficient,peopleareabletocontactoneanotherno

matterwheretheyareandatwhatevertimetheywishto.Theclickofabuttonallowspeoplemilesapartto

talkortoseeeachotherwithoutevenleavingtheirhomes."當交流變得高效的時候，不管人們在哪里，

我們都可以進行有效地交流。輕輕點按鈕就能和別人進行交流?？芍髡呤峭ㄟ^具體的例子來說

明"efficiencycomeswithaprice"（＞故選Do

4.根據本段第一句"Itispeople'sattitudetowardsprogressthatcausesthetypeofinfluencethat

technologyhasonsociety.""正是人們對進步的態度導致了科技對社會的影響。和第三句"Everything

dependsonpeople'sattitude"—"切都取決于人們的態度?？芍?，人們對于進步的態度導致了技術是

否能夠對社會產生何種影響，一切都取決于人們的態度。人們的態度決定了技術的使用。故選C。

12?15.【答案】B、B、C、A

【解析】（1）B.細節理解題。根據第三段However,thiscanonlybedonewithagroupofplantsknown

as"hyperaccumulators."Theynaturallyattractandabsorbmineralsthroughtheirrootsandthenstorehuge,

pureconcentrationsofthesemineralsintheirbodies.（植物采礦只能由"超積累植物"來完成，它通過

根自然地吸收礦物質，然后在體內儲存大量的、純凈的礦物質。）由此可推斷出，”超積累植物”

與其他植物的不同之處在于它有吸收和儲存金屬的能力，故選B.

（2）B.細節理解題。根據第五段中"ifphytominingisabletoreplacepartoftraditionalmining,then

therewouldbefewerinstancesofbadminingpracticeslikeabandonedmines,whichpollutethenearby

waters.如果植物采礦能夠取代傳統采礦的一部分，那么像廢棄礦井這樣污染附近水域的不良采礦

做法的例子就會更少。”由此可推斷出，植物采礦的優勢是可以減少廢棄的礦井。故選B.

（3）C.觀點態度題。根據最后一段However,therearemanyreasonstoconsiderphytomining.Afterall,

weneedtomakesurethatourplanetcankeepupandsustainablepracticeslikephytomininggiveusthe

hopethatouradvancementdoesn'tmeansacrificingMotherEarth.（然而，考慮植物開采有很多原因。

畢竟，我們需要確保我們的星球能夠跟上和可持續的實踐，比如如植物開采給我們希望，我們的

進步并不意味著犧牲地球母親。）可知，作者對植物開采是持樂觀態度的，A.Pessimistic悲觀的；

B.Indifferent冷漠的;C.Optimistic樂觀的；D.Skeptical懷疑的,故選C.

（4）A.標題歸納題。根據文章內容和第三段Phytominingmeanscollectingmetalfromliveplants.

（植物采礦是指從活植物中收集金屬。）可知，文章主要介紹了“植物采礦”這種新型的采礦方式

-從植物中收集金屬，并介紹了這種采礦方式的優點和缺點。"Metalsfromplants”意為"植物中的金

屬"，符合文意，故選A.

這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了“植物采礦"這種新型的采礦方式…從植物中收集金屬，并介紹

了這種采礦方式的優點和缺點。

1.直接信息題：直接信息題是指能夠直接從原文中找到信息，選項在語言表達上與原文基本一致

的題目。2.間接信息題：間接信息題是能夠從原文中找到信息，但在語言表達上與原文有差異，

文的某一句話，可能是原文的幾句話，或者是散落在文章不同的地方，要求學生把原文所提供的

信息綜合起來分析，而不能斷章取義。

16?20.【答案】A、D、E、G、C

(解析】(1)A.推理判斷題。根據下一句"let'stakealookatthesetrickstosavewater.讓我們來看看

這些節水的竅門。"可知此處說的是需要節約用水。所以"A.Sincewaterissolimited因為水是如此

有限"符合上下文語境。故選A.

(2)D.推理判斷題。根據上一句"Ifyounoticeanunusualincrease.

itmaybeasignthatyouhaveacrackedpipesomewhereinyourhome.如果你注意至！|一個不尋常的增

長，這可能是一個跡象，你有一個破裂的管道在你的家里某處?！笨芍颂幷f的是檢查破損的水管。

所以"D.Replacedamagedpipestoavoidwastingwater更換損壞的管道，避免浪費水"符合上下文語

境。故選D.

(3)E.標題歸納題。根據上一句

"There'snoneedtokeepthewaterrunningwhileyou'reintheprocessofcleaningyourteethortrimmin

gyourbeard.在你刷牙或修胡須的過程中，沒有必要讓水一直流著。"可知此處說的是在你刷牙或

修胡須的過程中，沒有必要讓水一直流著。所以"E.Turnthetapsoffwhileyoubrushorshave刷牙或

刮胡子時關掉水龍頭”符合上下文語境。故選E.

(4)G.推理判斷題。根據上一句

"There'snoneedtokeepthewaterrunningwhileyou'reintheprocessofcleaningyourteethortrim
