admission$11.95formembers.（https//:,普通門票13.95美元，會(huì)員11.95美

2.根據(jù)FamilyFunWinterfestJan.4部分中的OdySeaAquariumintheDesertishostingthethirdannual

的奧德海水族館正在其沙漠庭院舉辦第三屆年度家庭趣味冬季活動(dòng)，以真正的雪為特色，供孩子

們玩耍。）可知，在FamilyFunWinterfest可以欣賞真正的雪。故選B。

3.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知ZooLights:GlowWild從一月一日到十九日；DowntownMesaFestivalofthe

Arts從一月四日到十八日；FamilyFunWinterfest在一月四日；YouthFineArtsCourse從一月十八

日到三月七日。可知，YouthFineArtsCourses持續(xù)時(shí)間最長(zhǎng)。故選D。

4?6.【答案】B、B、D

【解析】【文章大意】本文是記敘文。文章主耍講述勞倫?伊麗莎白?皮里?巴斯（LaurenElizabethPirie

Bath）成為澳大利亞第一位專業(yè)照片博主的故事。

1.根據(jù)第一段中的LaurenElizabethPirieBath,untilafewyearsago,shewasachef,andahappyoneat

thattime,butshewantedmoreoutoflife.（勞倫?伊麗莎白?皮里?巴斯，直到幾年前，她還是一名廚師，

2.根據(jù)第三段中的ItisextremelybeautifulandIcanexperiencetheindigenousAustraliatheremorethan

anywhereelse.TheKimberleyregion,inparticular,isuniqueanduntouched.（這里非常美麗，我在那

里比其他任何地方都能體驗(yàn)到澳大利亞的indigenous。尤其是金伯利地區(qū)，它是獨(dú)一無(wú)二的，沒(méi)

有受到任何影響。）可知，澳大利亞有很多獨(dú)一無(wú)二的東西，即當(dāng)?shù)靥厣?，由此可知，劃線單詞

意思應(yīng)該是“土著風(fēng)情”，和選項(xiàng)B“本土的”意思一致。故選B。

3.根據(jù)最后一段中的Whenshepoststhepictureonline...Ifeveryonecandosomethingtomakeothers

問(wèn)題，那么這就是解決方案的一部分。）可知，巴斯在網(wǎng)上發(fā)布鱷魚照片是為了提醒人們飼養(yǎng)野

生動(dòng)物的后果。故選D。

7?9.【答案】A、C、A

［解析］［文章大意】這是一篇說(shuō)明文。主要介紹了楊百翰大學(xué)社會(huì)學(xué)教授埃里克?達(dá)林（EricDahlin）

的一項(xiàng)新研究表明，目前還沒(méi)有必要擔(dān)心機(jī)器人會(huì)接管人類。達(dá)林的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，機(jī)器人取代人類

的速度并不像大多數(shù)人想象的那樣快，但人們可能會(huì)大大夸大機(jī)器人取代人類的速度。

1.根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容（為了了解失業(yè)和機(jī)器人之間的關(guān)系，達(dá)林調(diào)查了近2000人對(duì)機(jī)器人取代工作

的看法。他們首先被要求猜測(cè)雇主用機(jī)器人取代工作的員工比例。然后，他們被問(wèn)及雇主是否曾

用機(jī)器人取代過(guò)他們的工作。）可推知，埃里克?達(dá)林是通過(guò)問(wèn)別人問(wèn)題來(lái)進(jìn)行他的研究的。故選

Ao

2.根據(jù)第五段中的Eye-catchingheadlinessayingabadFutureofemploymenthavelikelyoverblownthe

situationofrobotstakingoverjobs.（引人注目的頭條新聞稱，就業(yè)前景堪憂，這可能夸大了機(jī)器人

取代人類工作的情況。）可知，新聞報(bào)道會(huì)增加人們對(duì)機(jī)器人接管的擔(dān)憂。故選C。

3.根據(jù)最后一段內(nèi)容（這一發(fā)現(xiàn)符合早期的研究，即機(jī)器人不會(huì)取代工人。相反，員工和機(jī)器人

一起工作的工作場(chǎng)所在某種程度上創(chuàng)造了更多的價(jià)值。達(dá)林說(shuō)：“一個(gè)日常的例子是你當(dāng)?shù)匕儇?/p>
