8〜11.【答案】C、A、D、C

【解析】【文章大意】本文主要讲的是新技术的出现给我们的生活和社会带来很大的影响，有积

极的方面也有消极的方面。但是真正决定技术是否能够影响人类的生活，取决于人们对待技术的

态度。

1.根据第一段的“Allthese,however,remainstrueonlyinsofaraspeoplewanttoaccepttechnologyand

moveforwardbyfindingnewandmoreefficientwaysofdoingthings."只要人们想要接受新的技术并

且继续努力向前找到做事的更好的更高效的方法，那么技术的进步是可以给我们带来很多的好处

的。可知根据第一段，当人们愿意接受技术并稳步前进时，进步可以造福于人们，故选C。

2.A.tools工具；B.messages消息；C.barriers障碍物；D.skills技术。根据本句的"Withthe

communicationgadgets,suchasmobilephonesandipads"有了通讯设备，比如手机和ipad。关键是横

线后面的"mobilephonesandipads,”可知这些都是人们经常使用的交流工具，所以该词意为"工具"。

故选Ao

3.根据划线下面“Whencommunicationbecomesefficient,peopleareabletocontactoneanotherno

matterwheretheyareandatwhatevertimetheywishto.Theclickofabuttonallowspeoplemilesapartto

talkortoseeeachotherwithoutevenleavingtheirhomes."当交流变得高效的时候，不管人们在哪里，

我们都可以进行有效地交流。轻轻点按钮就能和别人进行交流。可知作者是通过具体的例子来说

明"efficiencycomeswithaprice"（＞故选Do

4.根据本段第一句"Itispeople'sattitudetowardsprogressthatcausesthetypeofinfluencethat

technologyhasonsociety.""正是人们对进步的态度导致了科技对社会的影响。和第三句"Everything

dependsonpeople'sattitude"—"切都取决于人们的态度。可知，人们对于进步的态度导致了技术是

否能够对社会产生何种影响，一切都取决于人们的态度。人们的态度决定了技术的使用。故选C。

12〜15.【答案】B、B、C、A

【解析】（1）B.细节理解题。根据第三段However,thiscanonlybedonewithagroupofplantsknown

as"hyperaccumulators."Theynaturallyattractandabsorbmineralsthroughtheirrootsandthenstorehuge,

pureconcentrationsofthesemineralsintheirbodies.（植物采矿只能由"超积累植物"来完成，它通过

根自然地吸收矿物质，然后在体内储存大量的、纯净的矿物质。）由此可推断出，”超积累植物”

与其他植物的不同之处在于它有吸收和储存金属的能力，故选B.

（2）B.细节理解题。根据第五段中"ifphytominingisabletoreplacepartoftraditionalmining,then

therewouldbefewerinstancesofbadminingpracticeslikeabandonedmines,whichpollutethenearby

waters.如果植物采矿能够取代传统采矿的一部分，那么像废弃矿井这样污染附近水域的不良采矿

做法的例子就会更少。”由此可推断出，植物采矿的优势是可以减少废弃的矿井。故选B.

（3）C.观点态度题。根据最后一段However,therearemanyreasonstoconsiderphytomining.Afterall,

weneedtomakesurethatourplanetcankeepupandsustainablepracticeslikephytomininggiveusthe

hopethatouradvancementdoesn'tmeansacrificingMotherEarth.（然而，考虑植物开采有很多原因。

进步并不意味着牺牲地球母亲。）可知，作者对植物开采是持乐观态度的，A.Pessimistic悲观的；

B.Indifferent冷漠的;C.Optimistic乐观的；D.Skeptical怀疑的,故选C.

（4）A.标题归纳题。根据文章内容和第三段Phytominingmeanscollectingmetalfromliveplants.

-从植物中收集金属，并介绍了这种采矿方式的优点和缺点。"Metalsfromplants”意为"植物中的金

属"，符合文意，故选A.

这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“植物采矿"这种新型的采矿方式…从植物中收集金属，并介绍

了这种采矿方式的优点和缺点。

1.直接信息题：直接信息题是指能够直接从原文中找到信息，选项在语言表达上与原文基本一致

有限"符合上下文语境。故选A.

(2)D.推理判断题。根据上一句"Ifyounoticeanunusualincrease.

itmaybeasignthatyouhaveacrackedpipesomewhereinyourhome.如果你注意至！|一个不寻常的增

长，这可能是一个迹象，你有一个破裂的管道在你的家里某处。”可知此处说的是检查破损的水管。

境。故选D.

(3)E.标题归纳题。根据上一句

"There'snoneedtokeepthewaterrunningwhileyou'reintheprocessofcleaningyourteethortrimmin

gyourbeard.在你刷牙或修胡须的过程中，没有必要让水一直流着。"可知此处说的是在你刷牙或

修胡须的过程中，没有必要让水一直流着。所以"E.Turnthetapsoffwhileyoubrushorshave刷牙或

刮胡子时关掉水龙头”符合上下文语境。故选E.

(4)G.推理判断题。根据上一句

"There'snoneedtokeepthewaterrunningwhileyou'reintheprocessofcleaningyourteethortrim
