答案以及解析一、1.答案：C解析：细节理解题。根据第一段"HelprestoreandprotectMarin'snaturalareas"和"HabitatRestorationTeamvolunteersplayavitalroleinrestoringsensitiveresourcesandprotectingendangeredspecies"可知，栖息地恢复团队的目标是保护当地的生态系统。故选C。2.答案：B解析：细节理解题。根据AGE,SKILLS,WHATTOBRING中"Volunteersaged10andoverarewelcome."可知，加入栖息地恢复团队的最低年龄是10岁。故选B。3.答案：B解析：细节理解题。根据AGE,SKILLS,WHATTOBRING中"We'llbeworkingrainorshine.Wearclothesthatcangetdirty.Bringlayersforchangingweatherandaraincoatifnecessary."可知，志愿者甚至会在恶劣的天气条件下工作。故选B。二、4.答案：B解析：主旨大意题。通读第二段可知，本段解释了"群体智慧"效应的底层逻辑。故选B。5.答案：D解析：推理判断题。根据第二段"Inmoretechnicalterms,thewisdomofcrowdsrequiresthatpeople'sestimatesbeindependent."和第三段"whencrowdswerefurtherdividedintosmallergroupsthatwereallowedtohaveadiscussion,theaveragesfromthesegroupsweremoreaccuratethanthosefromanequalnumberofindependentindividuals"可知，Navajas的研究发现，即使团队成员的估计不是完全独立的，平均准确率依旧会提升。故选D。6.答案：C解析：细节理解题。根据第四段"Mostfrequently,thegroupsreportedthatthey'sharedargumentsandreasonedtogether.'Somehow,theseargumentsandreasoningresultedinaglobalreductioninerror."可知，后续研究的重点是小组的讨论过程。故选C。7.答案：D解析：观点态度题。根据最后一段"AlthoughthestudiesledbyNavajashavelimitationsandmanyquestionsremain,thepotentialimplicationsforgroupdiscussionanddecision-makingareenormous."可知，作者对Navajas的研究持支持态度。故选D。三、8.答案：A解析：推断。根据第一段内容可知,在过去的七年里,大多数州都禁止司机发短信,公共服务活动也尝试了多种方法来说服人们在开车时放下手机。再根据第二段第一句"Yettheproblem...tobegettingworse"可知,虽然几乎使用了各种各样的方法,但是情况却似乎越来越糟糕了。所以这些方法是无效的。故选A项。9.答案：B解析：理解具体信息。根据第五段最后一句"Thetechnologycould...hands-freedrivinglaws"可知,这项技术可以确定司机是否发了短信、发了邮件,或者做了纽约免提驾驶法不允许的其他事情。由此可知,Textalyzer能够帮警官确定司机是否使用了手机。故选B项。10.答案：D解析：理解词汇。根据最后一段的最后一句可知,如果Textalyzer法案成为法律,人们将更害怕从而不敢在开车时使用手机,即人们将改变自己的行为。由此可推知,something在此处指代的是法律。故选D项。A项"建议"、B项"数据"、C项"考试"都与原文的逻辑违背。11.答案：B解析：理解文章主旨要义。综观全文内容可知,本文主要讲了为解决司机在开车时使用手机造成分心从而引发交通事故的问题,纽约的立法者提出使用Textalyzer这一设备来监控司机在开车的时候是否使用了手机。故B项最适合作本文标题。A项"开车还是不开?三思而行"和C项"纽约禁止司机使用手持设备"对关键信息Textalyzer未提及,D项"下一代手机:Textalyzer"则完全误解了Textalyzer的作用。四、12.答案：B解析：理解具体信息。题干问的是"作者想要通过讲芝麻菜的故事表达什么?"。根据题干可将解题信息定位于文章的第一段。根据第一段的最后一句可知,更糟糕的是,作者不假思索地买了太多东西;作者本可以用扔掉的东西做六份沙拉。由此可知,我们有时会无意中浪费食物。故选B项。13.答案：B解析：理解具体信息。题干问的是"根据文本内容,食物浪费的一个后果是什么?"。根据题干可将解题信息定位于文章的第三段。根据第三段第一句可知,生产没人吃的食物会浪费种植食物所消耗的水、燃料和其他资源,这使得食物浪费成为一个环境问题。由此可知,食物浪费的一个后果是环境危害。故选B项。14.答案：D解析：推断。题干问的是"Curtin的公司是做什么的?"。根据题干可将解题信息定位于文章的第四段。根据第四段中的"CurtinisCEO...rottedinfields"可知,该公司回收食物并将其转变为健康食品。它通过接受捐赠和收集有瑕疵的农产品,回收了超过807500磅的食物,否则这些农产品会在地里腐烂。由此可推知,Curtin的公司把一些人们不需要的东西变成可以吃的健康食物。故选D项。15.答案：A解析：推断。题干问的是"Curtin建议人们做什么?"。根据题干可将解题信息定位于文章的最后一段。根据最后一段中Curtin说的话可推知,Curtin建议人们减少食物浪费。故选A项。五、16.答案：D解析：理解词汇。读题:题干问"第二段中画线短语shinethrough是什么意思"。A项"似乎不太可能长久";B项"似乎难以解释";C项"准备好使用";D项"变得容易被注意到"。解题:本段第一句谈到当阅读几百字或更多字的文本时,有纸化学习通常比在屏幕上学习更成功,接着谈到大量的研究证实了这一发现。故画线短语所在部分应该是指从提出简单的任务转向需要抽象思维的任务时,这种有纸化阅读的好处尤其明显,也就是说很容易被注意到,答案为D。17.答案：A解析：理解具体信息。读题:题干问"'浅化假说'假定了什么"。A项"读者轻率对待电子文本";B项"电子文本更容易理解";C项"人们随机选择电子文本";D项"电子文本适用于社交媒体"。解题:根据题干中的shallowinghypothesis可以将答案定位在第四段中。根据第四段中的"whichareoftennotsoserious"以及"devotelessmentaleffort"可知在对待电子文本的时候,读者通常不是很严肃,同时比阅读纸质文本时投入的精力要少,
