阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Living in a culture that is different from your own can be both an exciting and challenging experience.The following are six cultural differences between China and the USA to help promote mutual understanding.
Money
As is well­known, the Chinese are conservative when they are planning to spend money, but far fewer American families are saving money for emergencies and education than their Chinese counterparts (对等的人)．
Privacy
Chinese people do not have the same concept of privacy as Americans do.They talk about topic such as ages, income or marital (婚姻的) status, which Americans think is annoying and disturbing.
Family
In China, elders are traditionally treated with great respect while young are cared for.In America, the goal of the family is to encourage independence, particularly that of the children.Unlike the Chinese, older Americans seldom live with their children.
Friends
Chinese people have different meanings to define friends.Just hanging out together time to time is not friendship.Friendship means lifelong friends who feel it deeply necessary to give each other whatever help might seem required.Americans always call people they meet friends, so the definition of friends is general and different.There are work friends, playing friends, school friends and drinking friends.
Education
Chinese people value education and career more than Americans, who in turn attach more great importance to good character and faith, which they think are of great value in their life.
________
Basically China values the community and the USA values the individual.If you achieve something in the USA, it's because you are great.While in China, if you achieve something, it's because the team, or family, or company is great.Everything you do gets owed to the greater whole, while in American individual achievements are celebrated.
　　 [语篇解读]　本文是一篇应用文。生活在一个和自己文化不同的社会里，可能是一个既令人兴奋、又充满挑战的经历。你必须了解不同文化的行为习惯，并且努力适应它们。本文说明了中国和美国之间的六点文化差异。

解析：细节理解题。根据Education中的“Chinese people value education and career more than Americans, who in turn attach more great importance to good character and faith”可知，中国人看重教育和事业，而美国人则更强调好品格和信仰。故选A。
答案：A
2．Which of the following can best describe the last difference?
A．Achievements.　　　　　 B．Individual.
C．Team VS Individual. D．Teamwork.
解析：段落大意题。根据最后一段中的“Basically China values the community and the USA values the individual.”可知，总的来说，中国更加看重集体，而美国则更看重个人。Achievements 成就； Individual个人；Team VS Individual集体主义VS个人主义；Teamwork 团队合作。故选C。
答案：C

B
When I was a child growing up in Ohio, the butterflies would sometimes pass through on their way to Mexico.And it was awesome to see football fields full of them—and I wanted to revisit that on a larger scale.I knew I had to go to see the migration in Mexico.
But I was on a budget.I didn't want to rent a car in Mexico or take a bus to Valle de Bravo, the starting point for most butterfly adventures, so I called the guys at the Muddy Boot, travel experts in Mexico who can make almost anything happen at a reasonable rate.
And so, on January 2, I found myself in the Muddy Boot van (货车), being driven two hours from Mexico City to Valle de Bravo, a lovely town on a volcanic lake which is a central point for the butterfly journeys.I booked a two­night stay at the Hotel Rodavento, an all eco­friendly hotel with individual wooden houses spread throughout the forest and around a lake.
The first sanctuary (保护区) I visited was Piedra Herrada, a popular destination, as it is only 40 minutes away from Valle de Bravo.The climb up is tiring.It is advisable to hire a horse.But the horse cannot take you all the way, and there is some hiking in thin air, so you must be patient, drink a lot of water, and be in reasonably good shape.
The walk is more than worth it, though.As I struggled to catch my breath, I looked up and lost my breath again.At first glance, the trees had turned into different shapes, but on closer inspection, every inch of them was covered with butterflies.
A few flew through the air (most of them were not warm enough)．As the sun rose, they began to come alive.Soon the air was filled with flying butterflies, transforming the forest into something magical and straight out of a fairy tale.
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文，主要记录了“我”寻访壮观的蝴蝶迁徙之景的历程。
4．Why did the author choose to take the Muddy Boot van?
A．She couldn't afford to rent a car.
B．She preferred to travel alone.
C．She wanted to save some money.
D．She hoped to reach the destination earlier.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But I was on a budget.I didn't want to rent a car in Mexico or take a bus to Valle de Bravo, the starting point for most butterfly adventures, so I called the guys at the Muddy Boot”可知，“我”想节省费用，没有租车或乘公车，而是选择去乘坐Muddy Boot的货车，C项中说她想省钱，符合语境，故选C。
答案：C
5．What can we learn about Piedra Herrada?
A．It is at a high altitude.
B．It is far from Valle de Bravo.
C．It is full of wild animals.
D．It is only accessible by riding a horse.
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The climb up is tiring...and there is some hiking in thin air”可知，到Piedra Herrada需要攀登，且这一过程十分劳累，而且有一段旅程是要在稀薄的空气中徒步的，可推断出它处于一个较高的海拔上，A项符合题意。同时，结合第四段中的描述，这个地方离小镇仅有40分钟的行程(only 40 minutes away from Valle de Bravo)，only一词表明“我”认为是不远的，B项错误；C项中提到的野生动物到处都是，在文中未提及；D项中说只能通过骑马到达，但原文明确指出可步行或骑马，综上应选A。
答案：A
6．What made the author's hiking worthwhile?
A．Becoming healthier.
B．Breathing in fresh air.
C．Finding trees of different shapes.
D．Seeing the butterfly migration.
解析：细节理解题。结合第五段整段内容，特别是其中的“The walk is more than worth it...every inch of them was covered with butterflies.”可知，“我”觉得值，是因为在旅程中终于能看到自己一直心心念念的蝴蝶迁徙景象，故选D。
答案：D
7．What type of writing is the text?
A．A news report. B．A scientific paper.
C．A travel diary. D．A commercial ad.
解析：推理判断题。结合全文内容可知，作者讲述的是自己准备并进行这场寻访蝴蝶迁徙之旅的过程，语言平实朴素，属于对自己生活旅游的记录，是一篇旅行日记(游记)，新闻报道、科学论文和商业广告均明显不符合原文内容和语言风格，故选C。
答案：C
C
Faced with greater competition, movie theaters have tried multiple experiments to upgrade the cinematic experience, including bigger and brighter screens and rumbling(折叠) seats.But a major challenge for exhibitors is to make the experience more attractive without depending on tricks.
One local theater, Regal L．A.Live, is experimenting with an idea that managers say strikes the right balance between so­called increase and sensory overload.The downtown L．A.theater plans to introduce Immersive Cinema Experience known as ICE technology in one of its auditoriums (礼堂) this fall.
The 190­seat auditorium will feature a traditional screen at the front, like any other theater.But the audience will also have five LED screens on both sides that will flood moviegoers' peripheral (周围的) vision with lights and colors based on what's playing on the main screen.For example, if you're watching a scene that takes place in the African desert, the LED might shower the audience with enveloping colors of sky­blue, sun­like yellow sand.But importantly, viewers won't have to turn their necks to catch any additional onscreen action.“When you're watching the movie, you actually feel very absorbed into the film，” said Shelby Russell, a manager at L．A.Live.“It strengthens the mood of each of the scenes.”
Regal L．A.Live will be the first U．S.theater to employ the technology.Managers did not say how much tickets will cost, but like other previous formats such as Imax, they will be more expensive than standard admissions.
Other cinemas have tried to introduce some other formats as theaters face growing threats from popular media.Results have been mixed, though.4DX, which uses seat movements, water and scent effects, operates in more than 620 theaters around the world.On the other hand, Barcoo Escape, a once promising idea for a three­screen theatrical design, failed to catch on.Shelby said the success of ICE theaters in France, where it competes with Imax, indicates well for its U．S.expansion.“The problem with other formats is that they distract the moviegoer from the film，” Shelby said.“ICE appeals to a very large audience.”
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了为了应对日益激烈的竞争，美国洛杉矶的一家电影院引进了ICE电影技术。同时文章详述了ICE电影技术的特点以及它的前景。
8．What leads cinemas to experiment with new technology?
A．Expensive admissions.
B．Growing competition.
C．Mixed results of previous formats.
D．The increasing number of moviegoers.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“Faced with greater competition, movie theaters have tried multiple experiments to upgrade the cinematic experience(面对更大的竞争，影院尝试了多种试验来提升电影体验)”可知，是“不断增加的竞争”导致电影院尝试新技术。故选B项。
答案：B
9．What does ICE use to upgrade cinematic experience?
A．Brighter colors.　　　 B．Rumbling seats.
C．Multiple screens. D．Sweet­scented effects.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“The 190­seat auditorium will feature a traditional screen at the front, like any other theater.But the audience will also have five LED screens on both sides that will flood moviegoers' peripheral vision with lights and colors based on what's playing on the main screen.(这个有190个座位的礼堂将以传统的屏幕为特色，与其他剧院一样。不过，两边观众也会有5个LED屏幕，根据主屏幕上播放的内容，用灯光和颜色来照亮观众的周边视野)”可知，ICE主要是用多屏幕来提升电影院的体验。故选C项。
答案：C
10．How do audience feel when watching films in an ICE cinema?
A．Absorbed into the movie.
B．Distracted from the screens.
C．Overloaded with excitement.
D．Tired from turning their necks.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“For example, if you're watching a scene that takes place in the African desert, the LED might shower the audience with enveloping colors of sky­blue, sun­like yellow sand.But importantly, viewers won't have to turn their necks to catch any additional onscreen action.‘When you're watching the movie, you actually feel very absorbed into the film，’said Shelby Russell, a manager at L．A.Live.‘It strengthens the mood of each of the scenes.’(例如，如果你正在观看一个发生在非洲沙漠的场景，LED可能会向观众洒下天蓝色、阳光般的黄色沙子。但重要的是，观众不必扭着脖子去看屏幕上的动作。‘当你看这部电影的时候，你会觉得自己沉浸其中。’洛杉矶Live的经理Shelby Russell说，‘它增强了每个场景的情绪。’)”可知，观看ICE电影院的电影时，在LED的帮助之下。观众容易沉浸其中，可以增强每个场景观众的感同身受。故选A项。
答案：A
11．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Imax failed to catch on in France.
B．ICE looks promising in the U．S.
C．Barcoo Escape is a popular design.
D．The use of 4DX is on the decline.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，在阐述了ICE和其他的电影形式对比后，“Shelby said the success of ICE theaters in France, where it competes with Imax, indicates well for its U．S.expansion.‘The problem with other formats is that they distract the moviegoer from the film，’Shelby said.‘ICE appeals to a very large audience.’(Shelby说，ICE影院在法国与Imax竞争的成功，表明了它在美国的扩张是良好的。Shelby说：‘其他格式的问题是，它们分散了观众对电影的注意力。’‘ICE吸引了很多观众。’)”可知，在美国，ICE的前景是不错的。故选B项。
答案：B
D
The Mars 2020 rover (02W), which sets off for the Red Planet this year, will not only search for traces of ancient life, but pave_the_way for future human missions, NASA scientists said on Friday as they introduced the vehicle.
The rover has been constructed in a large, sterile room at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, near Los Angeles, where its driving equipment was given its first successful test last week.
Shown to invited journalists on Friday, it is scheduled to leave Earth in July 2020 from Floridas Cape Canaveral, becoming the fifth US rover to land on Mars seven months later in February.
“It's designed to seek the signs of life, so we're carrying a number of different instruments that will help us understand the geological and chemical context on the surface of Mars，” deputy mission leader Matt Wallace told AFP.
Among the devices on board the rover are 23 cameras, two “ears” that will allow it to listen to Martian winds, and lasers used for chemical analysis.
Approximately the size of a car, the rover is equipped with six wheels like the former US rover, Curiosity, allowing it to travel along rocky land.
Speed is not a priority for the vehicle, which only has to cover around 200 yards (180 metres) per Martian day—approximately the same as a day on Earth.
Fuelled by a tiny nuclear reactor, Mars 2020 (has seven­foot­long articulated arms and a drill to crack open rock samples in locations scientists identify as potentially suitable for life.
“We are hoping to move fairly quickly.We'd like to see the next mission launched in 2026 which will get to Mars and pick up the samples, put them into a rocket and finally bring them back to the Earth，” said Wallace.NASA's Mars 2020 will remain active for at least one Martian year, which is around two years on Earth.
