及其较低的重力。故选B。【10题详析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Thougha56-microseconddifferenceissmallbyhumanstandards,it’ssignificantwhenitcomestoguidingmultiplemissionswithpinpointaccuracyorcommunicatingbetweentheEarthandtheMoon.(虽然56微秒的差异在人类标准下很小，但在引导多个任务以精确的速度，或在地球和月球之间进行通信时，这种差异显得非常重要了。)”可知，Patla和NeilAshby计算出的56微秒差异的意义是，它提高了太空任务的准确性。故选A。【11题详析】细节理解题。根据最后一段中““ThefundamentalthingissafetyofnavigationinthecontextofalunarecosystemwhenyouhavemoremissionsontheMoonthanyouhavenow,”saidCherylGramling,asystemsengineeratNASA’sGoddardSpaceFlightCenter.

(NASA的GoddardSpaceFlightCenter的系统工程师CherylGramling说：‘基本的事情是，当你在月球上的任务比现在多的时候，在月球生态系统下进行导航的安全性。’)”可知，CherylGramling认为，月球生态系统中导航的基本方面是任务的安全性，故选A。DTounderstandmoreaboutthechallengesthatprofessionalsfaceastheytransitiontoretirement,ourreporterKiplingerspokewithTeresaAmabile,aprofessorattheHarvardBusinessSchoolandcoauthorofRetiring:CreatingaLifeThatWorksforYou.TeresaAmabileandhiscolleagueshaveconductedmorethan200interviewswith68professionalswhoweremakingthetransitiontoretirementoverseveralyears.Q:Whydoyoufocusyourresearchontheprofessionalswhoareretiring?A:Someresearcheshighlighthowhealthandwealthinfluenceretirementdecisionsandexperiences,butweaimtoexplorethepsychological,social,andlife-restructuringissuesfacedbythosewhoarefinanciallysecureandreasonablyhealthy.Mostparticipantshopetostayhealthyandfitformanyyearsaftertheirretirement.Consequently,theaboveissuesneedfurtherexplorationandresearch.Q:Whydosomeprofessionalscontinuetoworkpastretirementage,eveniftheycanaffordtoretirecomfortably?A:Ourresearchhasuncoveredthreekeyfactors.First,someprofessionalsoftentietheiridentitytotheirwork,makingithardtoadjustwhenthatphaseends.Second,thestrongrelationshipswithcolleaguesandclientscanbedifficulttomaintainaftertheirretirement.Lastly,somefearlosingthelifestructurethatworkhasprovided,whichhasconsumedmuchoftheirtimeanddefinedtheirdailyroutines,leavingthemworryabouthowtofillthosehoursafterretirement.Q:Doesphasedretirement—workingpart-time,forexample—makeiteasierforsomepeopletotransitiontoretirement?A:Phasedretirementcanbequitehelpful,evenifit’sjustreducingyourworkbyonedayaweek.Becauseit’sagradualtransition,youhavetimetoadjustyoursenseofself,exploreotherthingsandrealizethereissomethingontheotherside.Oneparticipant,whotransitionedtoafour-dayworkweek,discoveredthejoyinbabysittinghisgranddaughter.Thisexperiencedeepenedhisidentityasagrandfatherandrevealedfulfillingopportunitiesinretirement,finallyleadinghimtoasatisfyingpost-retirementlife.Oneyearafterhisphasedretirement,hesuccessfullybuiltaverysatisfyinglifeforhimself.Q:Whatlessonswouldyoulikereaderstotakefromtheexperiencesofthepeopleyouhaveinterviewed?A:Thefirstthingisthatretiringisn’tjustaboutfinancialplanning.Ifyouwanttohaveasatisfyingretirement,it’snotabadideatothinkaboutretiringasadifferentkindofwork.Allocatesometimetodeepeningrelationshipsthatwillendure.Wesincerelyhopetheaboveinterviewcanbetterhelpretiringprofessionalsmovebeyondtheircareeridentitiesandembraceretirement,andourreaderscanunderstandmoreaboutretirement.12.Whataspectofretirementisthefocusoftheresearchmentionedinthetext?A.Thefinancialplanningstrategiesforretirement.B.Thepsychological,social,andlife-restructuringissues.C.Theimpactofgovernmentpoliciesonretirementbenefits.D.Theinfluenceofhealthandwealthonretirementdecisions.13.Whatisoneofthebenefitsofphasedretirement?A.Iteliminatestheneedforchildcareresponsibilities.B.Itallowsforacompletestopfromworkimmediately.C.Itrequiresindividualstoworkfulltimeuntilretirementage.D.Ithelpsindividualsadjusttheiridentityandexplorenewactivitiesgradually.14.WhichideadoesTeresaAmabilesupportandstress?A.Retirementshouldbeviewedasadifferentkindofwork.B.Retirementissolelyaboutfinancialplanningandsavings.C.Maintainingacareeridentityisessentialforasatisfyingretirement.D.Professionalsshouldbediscouragedfromthinkingaboutretirement.15.Whichofthefollowingisthebesttitleforthetext?A.Howcanwebetterunderstandretirement.B.Whatarethepsychologicalissuesforretiringprofessionals.C.Whatarethefinancialandpsychologicalaspectsofretirement.D.Howcanprofessionalsstepconfidentlyintothelifeafterretirement.【答案】12.B13.D14.A15.D【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了为了更好地了解专业人士在向退休过渡时面临的挑战，记者基普林格采访了哈佛商学院教授、《退休：创造适合生活》的合著者特蕾莎·阿马比尔，并希望这个采访能够更好地帮助退休专业人士超越职业身份并欣然接受退休。【12题详析】细节理解题。根据第三段中“Someresearcheshighlighthowhealthandwealthinfluenceretirementdecisionsandexperiences,butweaimtoexplorethepsychological,social,andlife-restructuringissuesfacedbythosewhoarefinanciallysecureandreasonablyhealthy.

(一些研究强调了健康和财富如何影响退休决策和经验，但我们旨在探索那些在经济上安全和合理健康的人所面临的心理，社会和生活重建问题。)”可知，文本中提到的研究的重点是退休人员的心理，社会和生活重建问题。故选B。【13题详析】细节理解题。根据第七段中“Becauseit’sagradualtransition,youhavetimetoadjustyoursenseofself,exploreotherthingsandrealizethereissomethingontheotherside.

(因为这是一个逐渐的过渡，所以你有时间调整自己的自我意识，探索其他事物并意识到另一方面（退休生活）有其他东西存在。)”可知，分阶段退休的好处之一是，它可以帮助个人调整身份并逐渐探索新活动。故选D。【14题详析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Ifyouwanttohaveasatisfyingretirement,it’snotabadideatothinkaboutretiringasadifferentkindofwork.

(如果你想有一个令人满意的退休生活，把退休视为一种不同性质的工作来思考并不是一个坏主意。)”可知，TeresaAmabile支持退休应被视为另一种工作这一观点。故选A。【15题详析】主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Tounderstandmoreaboutthechallengesthatprofessionalsfaceastheytransitiontoretirement,ourreporterKiplingerspokewithTeresaAmabile,aprofessorattheHarvardBusinessSchoolandcoauthorof
