答案和解析1~3.【答案】B、B、C【解析】（1）細節(jié)理解題。根據第一段中TheLondonPassisadigitalsightseeingcreditspackagethatgivesyouaccessto80+attractionsinthecitywitharelativelylowercost.（倫敦通票是一種數字觀光積分套餐，可以讓你以相對較低的成本游覽倫敦80多個景點）可知，推薦倫敦通票給旅行者是因為它對在預算內游覽倫敦會有所幫助。故選B。

（2）細節(jié)理解題。根據正文第二段Downloadthepasstoyourphoneandplanyoursightseeingtourswiththeapp.（將通票下載到你的手機上，用應用程序計劃你的觀光旅行）可知，使用倫敦通票前應該下載應用。故選B。

（3）數字計算題。根據倒數第二行●3DayPass：Child￡77.00Adult￡116.00（●3日通票：兒童77英鎊，成人116英鎊）可知，如果你想買一張父母和一個孩子的3日票，你需要付77+116+116=309￡。故選C。

這是一篇應用文。文章主要介紹了倫敦通票的作用以及收費情況。

閱讀理解題測試考生在閱讀基礎上的邏輯推理能力，要求考生根據文章所述事件的邏輯關系，對未說明的趨勢或結局作出合理的推斷；或根據作者所闡述的觀點理論，對文章未涉及的現象、事例給以解釋。考生首先要仔細閱讀短文，完整了解信息，準確把握作者觀點。

4~7.【答案】D、C、A、B【解析】（1）D.推理判斷題。閱讀文章，并根據第一段YourInternetofThingsbedroomopenssolarpowerede-windowsandplaysgentlemusicwhileyoursmartlightingdisplaysamontage（剪輯的）ofbeachfrontsunrisesfromyourrecentvacation.（你的物聯網臥室打開太陽能電動窗戶，播放輕柔的音樂，而你的智能照明顯示了你最近度假時海濱日出的剪輯畫面。）和每一段內容的描述可知，未來的生活到處都充滿了智能，故選D。

（2）C.細節(jié)理解題。根據第三段Youstillstartyourdaywithacoffeebutitcomesfromyourlotrefrigeratorwhichiscapableofprovidingacoffeehouseexperienceinyourhome.（你仍然以咖啡開始你的一天，但它來自你的冰箱，它可以提供你家的咖啡屋體驗。）可知，在2030年，我們不用去咖啡館就可以享受咖啡館的體驗。故選C。

（3）A.推理判斷題。根據第二段第一句Yourshowerusesverylittlewaterorsoap.（你的淋浴用的水或肥皂很少。）第三段第一句Youstillstartyourdaywithacoffeebutitcomesfromyourlotrefrigerator（你今天還是喝杯咖啡開始的，但是咖啡是從冰箱里出來的。）第四段第一句Whenit'stimetoleave，anon-demandtransportsystemhasthreecarswaitingforyou，（當你要離開時，按需運輸系統有三輛車等著你。）和第五段第一句Ontheway，youcallyourR&Dteam，whoareenvelopingaday'sworkinShanghai.（在路上，你給正在上海忙著一天工作的研發(fā)團隊打了電話。）可知，作者是按時間的順序來組織行文的。故選A。

（4）B.推理判斷題。閱讀文章，并根據最后一段Thisisthefutureanditwillbeheresoonerthanyouthink.（這就是未來，它會比你想象的更早到來。）可知，作者寫這篇文章主要是為了給我們介紹將來的生活。故選B。

8~11.【答案】C、D、B、A【解析】（1）細節(jié)理解題。由本文The

theme：部分The

main

theme

is

a

teenage

search

of

self-discovery，in

this

case

the

search

for

a

mother

from

whom

the

hero

was

separated

at

an

early

age.Its

other

concerns

are

love，getting

on

with

others，being

persistent

and

courageous

and

trying

to

deal

with

doubts，troubles

and

worries.As

the

book

moves

to

a

close，James'

swimming

coach

says

to

him：

"You

are

not

like

a

kid

obeying

instructions

any

more.You

are

diving

like

a

young

man

who

knows

where

he

is

going."（故事的主題是一個青少年對自我發(fā)現的探索，在這種情況下，主人公尋找早年就與之分離的母親。它的其他關注點是愛，與他人相處，堅持不懈和勇敢，并試圖處理疑慮，麻煩和擔憂。在書快結束的時候，詹姆斯的游泳教練對他說："你不再像一個服從指令的孩子了。你跳水的樣子就像一個知道自己要去哪里的年輕人。"）可知，該書主題體現在James尋找生身母親的征途也就是戰(zhàn)勝自我獲得人生真諦的發(fā)現之旅。故選C。

（2）推理判斷題。由本文The

theme：部分中的關鍵句Asthebookmovestoaclose，James'swimmingcoachsaystohim："Youarenotlikeakidobeyinginstructionsanymore.Youaredivinglikeayoungmanwhoknowswhereheisgoing."（教練所說"你不能再像小孩一樣，就知道循規(guī)蹈矩。你應該探索，像找定方向的年輕潛水員"。）可推知，第2段教練的話說明詹姆斯要做一個獨立的有個性的年輕人。故選D。

（3）細節(jié)理解題。由本文The

turning

point：部分中的關鍵句Theonlycluehehasisafossil，"thesnakestone"whichsheleftbehindalongwithanoteonwhichshehadwritten："TakegoodcareofSammie."（他唯一的線索是一塊化石，那塊"蛇石"是她留下的，旁邊還有一張紙條，上面寫著："好好照顧薩米"。）可知，小說中的蛇石是生母留下的一條線索。故選B。

（4）推理判斷題。由本文The

journey：部分中的關鍵句Hecomestounderstandwhyshelefthimatastranger'sdoorfifteenyearsbefore.Althoughthemeetingisnotlong，itleaveshimwithafeelingofcompleteness.Asajourneyofself-discoveryTheSnake-Stonealsoprovidesitsreaderswithahappyending.Itsherosays，onreturningtohisfosterparents，"Iwashome."（他開始明白為什么15年前她把他遺棄在一個陌生人的門口。雖然會議時間不長，但它給他留下了一種完整的感覺。作為一段自我發(fā)現的旅程，《蛇石》也為讀者提供了一個快樂的結局。故事的主人公在回到養(yǎng)父母身邊時說："我就在家里。"）可知，James的尋母征途是快樂而又有成就感的。自己發(fā)現了人生真諦從此開始成長起來了?？赏浦?，James的旅程是值得的。故選A。

這是一篇記敘文。分別從背景，主題，角色以及其主要情節(jié)"發(fā)現之旅"方面介紹名著TheSnake-stone。

閱讀理解解題步驟：首先對原文材料迅速瀏覽，掌握全文的主旨大意，因為閱讀理解題一般沒有標題，所以，速讀全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速讀的過程中，應盡可能多地捕獲信息材料；其次細讀題材，各個擊破，掌握全文的大意之后，細細閱讀每篇材料后的問題，弄清每題要求后，帶著問題，再回到原文中去尋找、捕獲有關信息，要善于抓住每段的主題句，閱讀時，要有較強的針對性，對于捕獲到的信息，要做認真分析，仔細推敲，理解透徹，只有這樣，針對題目要求，才能做到穩(wěn)、準。

12~15.【答案】B、A、A、C【解析】（1）細節(jié)理解題。根據第二段中Companiesalsoinvolvedthemselvesinencouragingthenewstudy'srise.In1967，RoyalDutchShellbegantoexperimentwithscenario（情境）planningorthetechniqueofusingstorytellingtospeculate（推測）aboutthefuture.CalledtheYear2000study，Shell'searliestscenariossuggestedthatthecompanyneededtoplanfordiscontinuity，helpingittobetterdealwithpoliticalandsocialchangesthatmightimpactitsbottomline.（公司也參與鼓勵這項新研究的興起。1967年，荷蘭皇家殼牌公司開始試驗情景規(guī)劃或利用講故事來推測未來的技術。殼牌公司最早提出的方案被稱為"2000年研究"，表明該公司需要為不連續(xù)性做計劃，幫助其更好地應對可能發(fā)生的政治和社會變化影響其底線。）可推知，Year2000study促進了未來學的發(fā)展。故選B。

（2）細節(jié)理解題。根據第三段中Ratherthanpredictproductpricesorsportsscores，Popeornandotherscientistsstudiedconsumerculture.Theyrealizedthatrapidculturaldevelopmentstohelpimagineanddesigngoodsandservicesthatwereontrend，andsoonconsumerswouldseenewthingsbeingmarketedandsold.WhenBrainReservepredictedthatmorepeoplewouldbestayinghome，Domino'smademovestodominatepizzadeliverytounsocialcustomers.（Popeorn和其他科學家沒有預測產品價格或運動成績，而是研究了消費者文化。他們意識到，快速的文化發(fā)展有助于想象和設計流行的商品和服務，很快，消費者就會看到新產品在市場上銷售。當BrainService預測會有更多的人待在家里時，Domino就采取了一系列措施來給不太愿意社交的顧客送披薩。）可知，BrainReserve通過幫助創(chuàng)造新產品來幫助企業(yè)。故選A。

（3）觀點態(tài)度題。根據最后一段中FuturistsandtrendforecastersfoundabroadaudienceintheUSfortheirpredictionsinthe1970s，andstilldotothisday.Ifanything，fast-pacedtechnologicalchanges，andcurrentsocialandpoliticalissues，haveincreasedpeople'sappetiteforwheretheworldmightgo.（未來主義者和趨勢預測者在20世紀70年代的美國為他們的預測找到了廣泛的受眾，直到今天仍然如此。如果說有什么不同的話，那就是快節(jié)奏的技術變革以及當前的社會和政治問題，增加了人們對世界可能走向何方的興趣。）可推知，如今美國人對未來預測是支持的。故選A。

（3）聯系下文題。根據下文Creativetasksareespeciallycommonwithuncertainty―whichmayexplainwhythinkerslikeBeethovenadoptedspecificbehaviorstogettheirthoughtsflowing.（創(chuàng)造性任務尤其常見于不確定性也許可以解釋為什么像貝多芬這樣的思想家會采取特定的行為來讓他們的思想保持活躍。）可知，思想家們?yōu)榱吮３执竽X具有更好的創(chuàng)造性，在生活中可能會有一些特定的行為，因此空格處舉例說明生活中聯想學習法可能讓我們形成的習慣。由此可知，F選項（在日常生活中，這種聯想學習可能會讓我們選擇一支"幸運"筆，這支筆似乎能在考試中取得特別好的成績。）符合語境。故選F項。

這是一篇說明文。文章主要闡述了人們之所以喜歡模仿富人和名人的日常行為，是因為有一種叫做"迷信學習"的強大心理過程。如果由此產生的習慣對個人有一定的好處，那就可以繼續(xù)使用。
