4~6.【答案】B、B、D【解析】【文章大意】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述劳伦·伊丽莎白·皮里·巴斯（LaurenElizabethPirieBath）成为澳大利亚第一位专业照片博主的故事。

1.

根据第一段中的LaurenElizabethPirieBath,untilafewyearsago,shewasachef,andahappyoneatthattime,butshewantedmoreoutoflife.（劳伦·伊丽莎白·皮里·巴斯，直到几年前，她还是一名厨师，当时是一名快乐的厨师，但她想从生活中获得更多。）可知，巴斯因为想从生活中获得更多，所以她决定不做厨师了。故选B。

2.

根据第三段中的ItisextremelybeautifulandIcanexperiencetheindigenousAustraliatheremorethananywhereelse.TheKimberleyregion,inparticular,isuniqueanduntouched.（这里非常美丽，我在那里比其他任何地方都能体验到澳大利亚的indigenous。尤其是金伯利地区，它是独一无二的，没有受到任何影响。）可知，澳大利亚有很多独一无二的东西，即当地特色，由此可知，划线单词意思应该是“土著风情”，和选项B“本土的”意思一致。故选B。

3.

根据最后一段中的Whenshepoststhepictureonline...Ifeveryonecandosomethingtomakeothersawareoftheproblem,thenthat'spartofthesolution.（当她把照片发布到网上时，她会评论喂野生鳄鱼有多糟糕。这条鳄鱼已经习惯了乘客从船上扔食物，现在她越来越熟悉人类了。随着时间的推移，这可能会使她对居住在该地区的人们构成危险。如果每个人都能做点什么让别人意识到这个问题，那么这就是解决方案的一部分。）可知，巴斯在网上发布鳄鱼照片是为了提醒人们饲养野生动物的后果。故选D。

7~9.【答案】A、C、A【解析】【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了杨百翰大学社会学教授埃里克·达林（EricDahlin）的一项新研究表明，目前还没有必要担心机器人会接管人类。达林的研究发现，机器人取代人类的速度并不像大多数人想象的那样快，但人们可能会大大夸大机器人取代人类的速度。

1.

根据第三段内容（为了了解失业和机器人之间的关系，达林调查了近2000人对机器人取代工作的看法。他们首先被要求猜测雇主用机器人取代工作的员工比例。然后，他们被问及雇主是否曾用机器人取代过他们的工作。）可推知，埃里克·达林是通过问别人问题来进行他的研究的。故选A。

2.

根据第五段中的Eye-catchingheadlinessayingabadfutureofemploymenthavelikelyoverblownthesituationofrobotstakingoverjobs.（引人注目的头条新闻称，就业前景堪忧，这可能夸大了机器人取代人类工作的情况。）可知，新闻报道会增加人们对机器人接管的担忧。故选C。

3.

根据最后一段内容（这一发现符合早期的研究，即机器人不会取代工人。相反，员工和机器人一起工作的工作场所在某种程度上创造了更多的价值。达林说：“一个日常的例子是你当地百货公司的自动机器。“当员工清洁货架下面或其他难以触及的地方时，这个机器人会清洁地板。”）可推知，埃里克·达林可能会同意机器人可以作为人类的伙伴工作这一说法。故选A。

2.

根据第二段中的Butthroughoutthecountry,therewerestillalotofsystemsfortrafficlightsandpatternsinplace.（但在全国各地，仍然有很多红绿灯系统和模式。）可知，this指代的是“alotofsystemsfortrafficlightsandpatterns”，结合句意可知，多种红绿灯系统和模式可能最终给驾驶员带来更多问题，D项“不同交通信号灯和模式的存在”，符合题意。故选D。

3.

根据第三段中的Thismeansthatredisvisiblethefurthestaway,yellowinthemiddleandgreentheleastdistanceaway—ahelpfuladvancedwarningforneedingtosloworstop.（这意味着红色在最远处可见，黄色在中间，绿色在最远处，这是需要减速或停车的一个有用的提前警告。）可知，第三段表述了红色由于它自己本身的特性被选为停止信号的原因。故选C。

4.

根据最后一段中的Backinthe1900s,somestopsignswereyellowbecauseitwastoohardtoseearedsigninapoorlylitarea.（早在20世纪，一些停车标志是黄色的，因为在光线不好的地方很难看到红色标志。）可知，红色作为停车标志的缺点是在某些环境中看不清楚。故选D。

根据最后一段中的Thisconnection...gainaninsightintopeople'sfeelingsinthe17thcentury.（莎士比亚十四行诗的普遍主题是爱和渴望，它可以跨越世纪的鸿沟，帮助我们了解17世纪人们的感受。）可知，作者提到莎士比亚的十四行诗是为了告知人们诗歌可以帮助提升读者的同理心，感受作者在写诗歌时当下的环境和心态。故选B。

4.

根据第一段中的Readingpoetryisnecessarytogainafullunderstandingoftheworldandhasmanyadditionalbenefits.（读诗对于全面了解世界是必要的，而且还有许多额外的好处。）及第二段提到了读诗可以降低患老年痴呆症的可能性，第三段提到了诗歌对于批判性思维的发展，最后一段提到了诗歌对同理心发展的提升。由此判断，全文提到的是阅读诗歌的相关好处。A项（读诗的回报）符合文意。故选A。

上一句说到Eachculture'sarthasitsownuniquecharacteristics.（每种文化都有它自己独特的特征），本空承上启下，进一步举例说明，具体的文化特征有什么，所以G项“例如，它有自己的服装，音乐，传统故事讲述等等很多”符合语境。故选G。

3.

根据本段内容Yourcountry,villageorreligiousgroupalmostcertainlycelebratemajorholidaysorculturalfestivals（你的国家，村庄，或者宗教组织都会庆祝一些重大节日，或文化节日）以及后面的Traveltojoinintheseevents(加入这些活动)youcanalsoorganizeyourownevent（你也可以自己组织活动）可推出，A项（参加或组织重大活动）符合语境。故选A。
