B.Uncertain.C.Tolerant. D.Supportive.答案D解析推理判断题。根据最后一段叙述,作者建议手写信给亲人,而不是发电子邮件。由此可推知,作者对于手写持支持态度。故选D项。4.Whichofthefollowingisthebesttitleforthetext?A.EfficiencyesFirstB.MoreplexEssaysareNeededC.ThePenisMightierthantheKeyboardD.ScienceisthePrimaryProductiveForce.答案C解析主旨大意题。通读全文,随着电脑的普及,手写虽然显得过时,但依然益处多多。手写有助于记忆和认知发展,而且得到了诸多实验验证。因此,用键盘的学习效果远不如动手写(ThePenisMightierthantheKeyboard)最能概括文章主旨。故选C项。BTheprintedbookisback.Recentstudieshaveshownthatstudentskeepinmindmoreinformationwhentheyreadahardcopybookparedtoreadingonadigitaldevice.Ilovethewaywenowjudgeprintedbooksusingthelanguageofthedigitalworld.Ebooksmayewitha“suiteofguidingtools”,butitturnsoutthatthebestguidingdevicesareyourfingers.Youcanusethemtolookthroughthepagesforwardsandbackwards.Tothink,allthistime,thosedeviceshavejustbeensittingthere,hangingattheendofyourarm.Fansofdigitalbooksmaypointoutthatereadershaveahandy“search”tool.Oldfashionedbooksalsohaveasearchfunction,inwhichyouturnbacktotheopeningchaptertoremindyourselfofthehero’sdescription.Theyevenhavea“bookmarksystem”,whichusesadevicecalleda“bookmark”.Fansoftheebookpointoutthatdigitaltextiseasytoannotate.Somedevicesevenfeaturealittleimageofapenciltoguidethereaderthroughtheprocess.Traditionalbookusershaveasimilarsystemcalleda“pencil”.Withit,favouredpassagescanbeunderlinedand,ifit’sahistorybook,mentscanbewritteninthemargin(页边),suchas“Notso,accordingtoTheDeclineandFalloftheRomanEmpire.”Thusnoted,suchbookscanbeleftaroundforotherstostudy,convincingfamilymembersofyourinsight.Theprintedbook,ofcourse,hasotheradvantages.Afullbookshelfisatonceasoundbaseandastoreofknowledge.Andanyproperlythumbedbookwillalwaysfallopenatthesexiestscene.Also,thesmellofoldbooksinasecondhandbookshopisinstantlyremindful.Yes,it’samixofmould(霉味)andoldpaper,buttomeitrepresentspossibility.Educationalfashionseandgo,somaybetheshiftbacktotraditionalbookswon’tlast.Butforthemoment,Ifindmyselfstandingatattention,extendingmytextbookbuiltshouldersandsalutingtheirgloriousreturn.Inthedebateaboutwhichisbetter,itseemsthatthehardcopybookishardertoknockoutthanoriginallythought.【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了印刷书籍的回归及其原因。5.Whydoestheauthorusethedigitallanguagetojudgeprintedbooks?A.Toexplainconcepts.B.Tohighlightdevelopmentoflanguages.C.Topleasereaders.D.Tomakebetterparisons.答案D解析细节理解题。关键词定位在第二段。根据第二段第一句“Ilovethewaywenowjudgeprintedbooksusingthelanguageofthedigitalworld.”以及在文章各处的引用的电子术语“suiteofguidingtools”“search”“bookmarksystem”“pencil”这些传统的纸质书阅读中的术语,可能在电子书阅读时代被赋予了新的内涵,但重点还是第二段中的“judgeprintedbooksusingthelanguageofthedigitalworld”可推知,作者喜欢使用这些电子时代的语言来评判纸质书,更多是为了在两者之间更好地作比较。通过下文看,作者也是一条一条来说明的。第二段就电子书籍便捷的导引功能,作者提到事实证明,最好的导引工具还是人的手指;第三段提到电子书籍便捷的搜索功能,作者指出纸质书同样具备此功能,而且还具备“书签系统”;第三段提到电子书籍便于加注,作者提出纸质书读者用铅笔加注,遇到喜欢的章节,可以加下划线,若是历史书籍,还可以在页边处写评论,以便与家人分享你的观点。故选D项。6.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“annotate”inparagraph4mean?A.Search. B.Access.C.Addnotes. D.Getinformation.答案C解析词义猜测题。根据第四段第一句“Fansoftheebookpointoutthatdigitaltextiseasytoannotate.”以及下面的举例可知,用铅笔可将喜欢的段落标注下划线,若是历史书籍,可在页边题写评论。由此可推断,annotate一词意为“加注”。故选C项。7.Whatattractsthereadersastoprintedbooks?A.Valueofsenses. B.Knowledgestorage.C.Bookshelves. D.Bookstores.答案A解析推理判断题。本题定位在第五段。此段首句“Theprintedbook,ofcourse,hasotheradvantages.”表示除了上述纸质书阅读与电子阅读的区别(或者说,与电子阅读相比,纸质书略胜一筹外),纸质书还独具一些优势:一个摆满书的书架总是一个显眼的地方,那里存贮了满满的知识,而且人们高赞的书籍总是打开,摆在最耀眼的位置;根据第五段第四、五句可知,印刷书的气味是霉味和旧报纸的混合气味,但于作者而言,这种气味代表(获取知识)的无限可能性。故选A项。8.Whichofthefollowingisthebesttitleforthetext?A.WhyEbooksAreConvenientB.WhythePrintedBookIsBackC.WhyEducationalFashionsChangeD.WhyDigitalReadingBeesPopular答案B解析主旨大意题。文章开宗明义,提出“Theprintedbookisback.”,印刷书籍重新兴起,而且用研究结论来支撑。研究表明:学生通过阅读纸质书籍,比在电子阅读中记住更多的信息。下文大篇幅就印刷书与电子书的优缺点展开比较,尤其突出了使用印刷书阅读的美好体验。最后一段回归主题,进行总结:尽管传统书籍的回归不一定持续多长时间,但此时此刻,“我”向这种回归致敬。与文章开头相照应。因此,“印刷书为何回归”是最佳标题。故选B项。CThemonarchisperhapsthebestknownbutterflyinNorthAmerica.Everyfall,theymigratefromtheUSandCanadatoCaliforniaandMexicoforthewinter,breedingmultiplegenerationsalongtheway.Butnowthemonarchisintrouble.Duetohabitatloss,milkweed,theplantsthatthebutterflycaterpillarsfeedon,arefewerandfartherbetween,sothenumberofmonarchisdeclining.Inthe1990s,researchersattheUniversityofMinnesotadecidedtousecitizensciencetocollectlongtermdataonmonarchcaterpillarsandmilkweedhabitatinordertoprovideinformationthatdecisionmakerscanusetohelppreventthemonarch’sdecline.TheMonarchLarvaMonitoringProjecthasgrowntoinvolvevolunteersfromacrossNorthAmerica.Participantsvolunteertomonitoraparticularsite—oftentheirownbackyards.Throughonlineorinpersontraining,thevolunteerslearnhowtoidentifymilkweedaswellastheeggs,caterpillarsandpupae(蛹)ofmonarchbutterflies.Theyalsolearnaboutthemonarch’smigration.Eachyear,volunteersrecordwhenmilkweedplantsfirsteoutofthegroundandhowmanyarepresentatthesitetheyaremonitoring.Then,onaweeklybasis,theyrecordthenumberofeggsandcaterpillarstheysee.Thefinalstepisenteringthedataintoanonlinedatabase.Forcitizenscienceprojects,datavalidity(效度)canbeaconcern.Somesaythatnonscientistscan’tbetrustedtocollectreliabledata.Theprojectaddressessuchconcernsbyusingastandardizedrulesandrequiringrepeatedobservationsofthesamespeciesinthesameplace.TheMLMPalsoofferstraining,andalldataarecarefullycheckedbeforeusedforresearchpurposes.Anotherchallengeisgettingvolunteerstoreportzeroesorthelackofmonarchs.Asthemonarchpopulationdeclines,volunteersmaybediscouragedandnotwanttocollectdata.MLMPstaffworkwithvolunteerstohighlighttheimportanceofknowingwheremonarchsarenotfound.Theprojectissuccessfullymeetingitscorepurpose:tohelpscientistsbetterunderstandhowandwhymonarchpopulationsarechanging.Dataprovidedbycitizenscientistshaveformedthebasisforagrowingnumberofscientificpublications.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍为有效阻止北美“魅力昆虫”君王斑蝶数量减少,启用了公民科学项目,旨在让社会公众参与重要科学研究,构建老少咸宜的户外科学课堂。9.Whyisthenumberofmonarchbutterfliesdeclining?A.Theyareinfluencedbythecoldweather.B.Therearefewermilkweedplantsalongtheway.C.Manybutterflycaterpillarslosetheirhabitats.D.Thedistanceoftheirmigrationbeeslonger.答案B解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Duetohabitatloss,milkweed,theplantsthatthebutterflycaterpillarsfeedon,arefewerandfartherbetween,sothenumberofmonarchisdeclining.”可知,由于栖息地的丧失,蝴蝶幼虫赖以为食的草属植物(植物乳草)的大面积减少,因此君王斑蝶数量减少。故选B项。10.Whatisparagraph3mainlyabout?A.Theapplicationofcitizenscienceintheproject.B.FindingsofMonarchLarvaMonitoringProject.C.Theestablishmentofthemonarchonlined
