答案解析部分【答案】1．B2．A3．C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了如何成为新泽西植物园的会员和会员的权限。

【点评】考查阅读理解，包含细节理解题，是一篇介绍类阅读，注意先略读文章，掌握文章大意，再分析题干及选项，到文中找到相关内容并进行理解。1．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"YourmembershipdollarshelptoimprovetheGarden,andprovideeducationalandrecreationalactivitiesforthegeneralpublic."你的会员费有助于改善花园，并为公众提供教育和娱乐活动。可知，NJBG的会员费可以用来提供更好的服务。故选B。2．考查细节理解。根据★RenewYourMembership部分中的"AnnualDues/Dual/$50"年费/两人共用/50美元，可知，要为你的父母续签一年的会员资格，你需要支付50美元。故选A。3．考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的"YourNJBGmembershipoffersyoudiscountsatparticipatingnurseries,gardencentersandotherfinebusinesses."你的NJBG会员资格为你提供参与苗圃、花园中心和其他优良企业的折扣。可知，新泽西植物园为会员购买提供折扣。故选C。【答案】4．D5．A6．C7．D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，就福特汽车公司工作制的改变展开了讨论。1926年5月1日，福特汽车公司成为美国最早实行每周五天、每周工作40小时的公司之一。这是工人和工会一直在呼吁的。然而，每周五天工作制是为了提高工作效率。在一个有限的星球上，需要持续增长的经济体系毫无意义。是时候改变我们的经济思维了。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇经济类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。4．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"Itwasawayofencouragingconsumerismandproductivitytoincreaseprofits,anditsucceeded."这是一种鼓励消费主义和提高生产力以增加利润的方式，而且它成功了。可知，福特决定缩短每周的工作时间是为了赚取更多的利润。故选D。5．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"UntiltheSecondWorldWar,itwascommonforonepersoninafamily,usuallytheoldestmale,towork-full-time.Now,womenmakeup42%oftheworld'sfull-timeworkforce."在第二次世界大战之前，一个家庭中有一个人全职工作是很常见的，通常是年龄最大的男性。现在，女性占全球全职劳动力的42%。知，二战后更多的女性从事全职工作。故选A。6．考查推理判断。根据第三段"Wellintothe2lstcentury,wecontinuetoworkthesamelonghoursas20thcenturylaborers,usingupevermoreofEarth'ssupplytoproducemoregoodsthatwemustkeepworkingtobuy,useandreplaceinaseeminglyendlesscycleofhardworkandconsumption.It'stimetopauseandconsiderbetterwaystolivelikeshiftingfromfossil-fueledlifestyleswithwhichourconsumer-basedworkweeksareconnected."进入21世纪，我们继续像20世纪的劳动者一样长时间工作，消耗越来越多的地球资源来生产更多的商品，我们必须继续努力购买、使用和替换这些商品，这似乎是一个无休止的艰苦工作和消费循环。是时候停下来考虑一下更好的生活方式了，比如从我们以消费为基础的工作周所依赖的化石燃料的生活方式中转变出来。可知，从第三段我们可以推断出努力工作和消费的循环应该改变。故选C。7．考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段"TheUKthinktank,NewEconomicsFoundation,arguesthatastandard21-hourworkweekwouldaddressanumberofinterconnectedproblems:‘overwork,unemployment,over-consumption,highcarbonemissions,lowwell-being,andthelackoftimetolivesustainably,tocareforeachother,andsimplytoenjoylife'."英国智库新经济基金会认为，标准的每周21小时工作制将解决一系列相互关联的问题："过度劳累、失业、过度消费、高碳排放、低幸福感，以及缺乏可持续生活、相互照顾和享受生活的时间"。可知，新经济基金会认为每周工作21小时将鼓励人们享受生活。故选D。【答案】8．B9．B10．D11．A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者住在云南喜洲，在历史悠久的茶马古道上，遇到了要用双脚环游地球的PaulSalopek，决定陪保罗去云南，描述了他们路上的见闻和感悟。

【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断和段落大意两个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。8．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"IhavetoadmitthatwhenIfirstheardthatPaulSalopekwasgoingtowalktheentireglobeonhisowntwofeet,Iwasblownaway.Icouldn'timaginethattherecouldbesuchanunusualpersonintheworld."我不得不承认，当我第一次听说PaulSalopek要用自己的两只脚走完整个地球时，我惊呆了。我无法想象世界上会有这样一个不寻常的人。可推知，作者最初对保罗的旅行计划感到吃惊，故选B。9．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"HespokeoftheShu-YanduDao(theSouthernSilkRoad),thetravelsofthe17th-centuryChineseexplorerXuXiake,theTeaHorseRoadandtheearly20th-centuryAmericanbotanistJosephRock.HealsotalkedofXuanzang.PaulconsideredmanyofthemheroesandinasenseChinesepioneersofslowjournalism."他谈到了蜀盐渡道（南方丝绸之路）、17世纪中国探险家徐霞客的旅行、茶马古道和20世纪初美国植物学家约瑟夫·洛克。他还谈到了玄奘。保罗认为他们中的许多人是英雄，在某种意义上是中国慢新闻的先驱。可知，PaulSalopek对中国有一定的了解。故选B。10．考查段落大意。根据第四段"Wemetmanypeopleontheroad.Somewerecurious,surroundingusandwatchingus:somegaveusdirections;someinvitedusintotheirhometotakearest;somespokeofthecharmoftheirhometown.Wemetmanybeautifulsouls,simplesoulsandwarmsouls.Wewerewalkingwithourminds."我们在路上遇到了很多人。有些人很好奇，围在我们周围看着我们；有些人给我们指路;有些人邀请我们到他们家里休息；一些人谈到了他们家乡的魅力。我们遇到了许多美丽的灵魂，简单的灵魂和温暖的灵魂。我们在用我们的意念行走。可知，第四段主要说明了作者和保罗与人们建立了联系。故选D。11．考查推理判断。根据最后一段"Lookingbackonthemorethan200milesIwalkedwithPaul,Icametoarealization.Walkingforitsownsake,whilehealthyandadmirable,isonlyasmallpartofthebenefitofmovingwithourfeet.Adeeperrewardisrediscoveringtheworldaroundus,shorteningthedistancebetweeneachother,andsharingeachother'scultures."回顾和保罗一起走过的200多英里，我有了一个认识。走路本身，虽然健康和令人钦佩，只是一小部分的好处与我们的脚移动。更深层的回报是重新发现我们周围的世界，缩短彼此之间的距离，分享彼此的文化；并结合文章主要讲述了作者住在云南喜洲，在历史悠久的茶马古道上，遇到了要用双脚环游地球的PaulSalopek，决定陪保罗去云南，描述了他们路上的见闻和感悟可推知，文章的目的是分享和回顾一段旅程。故选A。【答案】12．D13．B14．C15．C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了机器人触摸传感技术的进步使能感受"疼痛"的有触觉机器人正在成为可能。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和标题归纳三个题型的考查，是一篇科技类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。12．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"Sensorssetinsoft,artificialskinthatcandetectbothagentletouchandapainfulstrikehavebeenhookedup(连接)toarobotthatcanthensignalemotions,AsadareportedFebruary15attheannualmeetingoftheAmericanAssociationfortheAdvancementofScience.Thisartificial‘painnervoussystem',asAsadacallsit,maybeasmallbuildingblockforamachinethatcouldexperiencepain."Asada在2月15日的美国科学促进会年会上报告说，安装在柔软的人造皮肤上的传感器可以检测到温柔的触摸和疼痛的打击，然后连接到一个可以发出情绪信号的机器人上。Asada称这种人工的"疼痛神经系统"，可能是一个可以体验疼痛的机器的小构件。可知，"疼痛神经系统"结合了传感器和人造皮肤。故选D。13．考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的"InarobotsystemnamedAffetto,arealistic-lookingchild'shead,thesetouchandpainsignalscanbeconvertedtoemotionalfacialexpressions."在一个名为Affetto的机器人系统中，这些触摸和疼痛信号可以______为情感的面部表情；以及第二段中的"Sensorssetinsoft,artificialskinthatcandetectbothagentletouchandapainfulstrikehavebeenhookedup(连接)toarobotthatcanthensignalemotions,AsadareportedFebruary15attheannualmeetingoftheAmericanAssociationfortheAdvancementofScience."Asada在2月15日的美国科学促进会年会上报告说，安装在柔软的人造皮肤上的传感器可以检测到温柔的触摸和疼痛的打击，然后连接到一个可以发出情绪信号的机器人上。可知，划线词所在的句子"InarobotsystemnamedAffetto,arealistic-lookingchild'shead,thesetouchandpainsignalscanbeconvertedtoemotionalfacialexpressions."表示"在一个名为Affetto的机器人系统中，这些触摸和疼痛信号可以转换为情感面部表情。Affetto是一个逼真的儿童头部"，划线词converted意为"转化"。故选B。14．考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的"Arobotwithsensorsthatcandetecttouchandpainis"alongthelinesofhavingarobot,forexample,thatsmileswhenyoutalktoit,"一个带有传感器的机器人可以检测触摸和疼痛，"就像一个机器人，当你和它说话时，它会微笑；以及最后一段中的"Whilethat'saninterestingdevelopment,it'snotthesamethingasarobotdesignedtoexpresssomesortofinternalexperience,"虽然这是一个有趣的发展，但它与设计用来表达某种内在体验的机器人是不同的。可知，Damasio认为机器人可以检测疼痛并做出相应的反应是一个有趣的发展。故选C。15．考查标题归纳。根据第一段"Arobotwithasenseoftouchmayonedayfeel‘pain',‘bothitsownphysicalpainandsympathy-forthepainofitshumancompanions.Suchtouchy-feelyrobotsarestillfaroff,butadvancesinrobotictouch-sensingarebringingthatpossibilityclosertoreality."有触觉的机器人也许有一天能感受到"疼痛"，既能感受到自身的疼痛，也能同情人类同伴的痛苦。这种有触觉的机器人还很遥远，但机器人触摸传感技术的进步正使这种可能性更接近现实；以及下文的描述，可知，本文主要介绍了机器人触摸传感技术的进步使能感受"疼痛"的有触觉机器人正在成为可能，"机器人慢慢地会感受疼痛"适合做文章标题。故选C。16．【答案】F；A；B；D；G【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如何在自己的网站上接受一些公司产品的广告来增加自己收入的办法。

（1）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前”Whileaffiliatedlinksaren'ttechnicallyads,theyallowyoutomakemoneybypromotingsomeoneelse'sproduct.“虽然附属链接在技术上不是广告，但它们可以让你通过推广别人的产品赚钱。可知你可以通过附属连接赚钱，故可对应到F.Throughit,youcanearnpaymentswhensomeonemakesapurchase.”通过它，当有人购买时，你可以获得广告费。”。故选F。

（2）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后“Anyone,evenstudents,canuseit.”任何人，甚至学生，都可以使用它。可知加入很容易，也很自由。故选A。

（3）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后“Callthemonthephoneinsteadofjuste-mailingthemsoyourcommunicationismorepersonalandprofessional.”给他们打电话，而不只是发电子邮件，这样你的交流就更私人、更专业。可知是通过打电话更直接的方式来联系公司，故选B。

（4）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后“Themoreinformationyoucangivethem,themorelikelytheywillbetoconsideryouroffer.”你提供的信息越多，他们就越有可能考虑你的提议。可知是建议要给你联系的公司准备好向他们提供有关你公司的信息。D选项中information与下文中moreinformation相对应。故选D。

（5）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“Thislinkcanbeasimplemessagesaying'Clickheretofindouthowtoadvertiseonthisblog!‘”这个链接可以是一个简单的信息说“点击这里找到如何在这个博客上做广告!”可知下文继续对这一行为进行说明：通过这样简单直接的方式，任何人都可以自由地与你讨论广告机会。故选G。
