，它需要将为猎鹰1号提供动力的九个梅林发动机连接在一起）可知，猎鹰9号得到了很大的升级。故选B。（3）词句猜测题。根据划线词上文Wewereouttherebeatinghistory，butElonwasstill（我们打破了历史，但埃隆仍在）以及下文Likeeverythingelsewe'veeverdone，itwaswayslowerthanElonwanted.（就像我们做过的其他事情一样，它比埃隆想要的要慢得多）可知，but表示转折关系，说明尽管猎鹰9号的首次测试发射取得了成功，但马斯克仍然对他们很生气，因为他们进展得太慢了。故划线词意思是"生气"。A.madat生气；B.contentwith满足于；C.sadabout难过；D.movedby被感动。故选A。（4）推理判断题。根据最后一段MrMusk'semployeesknewthathereallycaredaboutmakingbetterrockets，andthathewastakingbigfinancialrisks.Buttheycametovaluehisinsistenceontheoverallgoalofmakingarocketthatwaslargelyreusable.（马斯克的员工知道，他真的很在乎制造更好的火箭，而且他正在承担巨大的财务风险。但他们开始重视他对制造一枚基本上可重复使用的火箭的总体目标的坚持）可知，马斯克在制造火箭的过程中，尽管面临巨大的财务风险，但他仍然坚持制造更好的火箭，并致力于实现火箭的可重复使用。这说明马斯克是一个坚定且执着的人。故选C。3．（10分）WanttoknowthecurrentpopulationofIndia？Theinternetisyourbestbet.Needaquickrefresheronthephasesofthemoon？Goahead，readastoryonline（ortwoorthree）.Butifyoureallyneedtolearnsomething，you'reprobablybetteroffwithprint.Oratleastthat'swhatalotofresearchnowsuggests.Researchersfindthatpeopletendtoreadfasteronscreens.That'sfineforcheckingtextsandsocialmediaposts.Butwhenscreensaresmall，theextrascrollingneededtoreadalongarticleorbookmaymakeithardertoretainwhatyou'rereading，datanowshow.Thatdoesn'tjustdependonthedevice，however.Italsodependsonwhatyouassumeaboutthetext.NaomiBaroncallsthisyourmindset.Shesaysonewaymindsetworksisinanticipatinghoweasyorhardweexpectthereadingtobe.Ifwethinkitwillbeeasy，wemightnotputinmucheffort.Muchofwhatwereadonscreenstendstobetextmessagesandsocialmediaposts，whichareusuallyeasytounderstand.So，"whenpeoplereadonscreens，theyreadfaster，"saysAlexanderattheUniversityofMaryland."Theireyesscanthepagesandthewordsfasterthanifthey'rereadingonapieceofpaper."Butwhenreadingfast，wemaynotabsorballtheideasaswell.However，allexpertsagreeononething：There'snogoingback.Digitalreadingisheretostay.Soitpaystomakethemostofit.It'sagoodideatodoalittlepreparation.Baroncomparesreadingtosportsortoplayingmusic."Watchapianistoranathlete.Beforetheyruntheraceorplaytheconcert，theygetthemselvesinthezone，"shesays."It'sthesamethingforreading.Beforeyoureadsomethingyoureallywanttofocuson，getinthezone.Thinkaboutwhatyou'llbereading，andwhatyouwanttogetfromit."（1）WhichisNOTthepossibleelementaffectingpeople'sreadingonscreens？DA.Smallscreens.B.Reader'smindset.C.Simpleposts.D.Readingskills.（2）Whatmayallexpertsagreeasfordigitalreading？AA.It'sunavoidable.B.It'sunhelpful.C.It'sunpredictable.D.It'sunacceptable.（3）WhydoesBaronmentionthepianistandtheathlete？BA.Todefineaterm.B.Tosupportanidea.C.Toexplainaconcept.D.Topresentthebackground.（4）Whichofthefollowingwouldbethebesttitleforthepassage？CA.TheRiseofDigitalReading.B.TheBenefitsofPrintReading.C.BalancingPrintandDigitalReading.D.PreparingfortheDigitalReadingEra.【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据文章第二段Butwhenscreensaresmall，theextrascrollingneededtoreadalongarticleorbookmaymakeithardertoretainwhatyou'rereading，datanowshow.（但当屏幕较小时，阅读长文章或书籍所需的额外滚动可能会让你更难记住所读内容，数据显示。）可知，小屏幕（选项A）是影响因素。根据第三段Italsodependsonwhatyouassumeaboutthetext.NaomiBaroncallsthisyourmindset.（这也取决于你对文本的假设。NaomiBaron称之为你的心态。）可知，读者的心态（选项B）是影响因素。根据第四段Muchofwhatwereadonscreenstendstobetextmessagesandsocialmediaposts，whichareusuallyeasytounderstand.（我们在屏幕上阅读的内容大多是短信和社交媒体帖子，这些通常很容易理解。）可知，简单的帖子（选项C）是影响因素。文章未提及阅读技能（选项D）对屏幕阅读的影响。故选D。（2）细节理解题。根据文章第五段However，allexpertsagreeononething：There'snogoingback.Digitalreadingisheretostay.（然而，所有专家都同意一件事：数字阅读是不可逆转的。数字阅读将长期存在。）可知，数字阅读是不可避免的。故选A。（3）推理判断题。根据文章第五段Baroncomparesreadingtosportsortoplayingmusic."Watchapianistoranathlete.Beforetheyruntheraceorplaytheconcert，theygetthemselvesinthezone，"shesays."It'sthesamethingforreading.Beforeyoureadsomethingyoureallywanttofocuson，getinthezone.Thinkaboutwhatyou'l
