In 2015, gaming produced $ billion in domestic revenue.“可知，近幾年游戲行業(yè)發(fā)展迅速，2015年游戲行業(yè)創(chuàng)造了235億美元的國內(nèi)總收入。故選D。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的”So the voice actors are pushing for the idea of secondary pensationa performance bonus every time a game sells 2 million copies or downloads, or reaches 2 million subscribers, with a cap at 8 million.“可知，配音演員要求得到額外的補償——每款游戲賣出200萬份拷貝或下載，或者擁有200萬訂閱者（最高800萬），配音演員可以得到一份表演獎金，即配音演員希望按游戲銷售量得到額外的報酬。故選A。 （4）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第六段中的“’I can39。t imagine if there39。s any other acting job in the world where you don39。t know what show you39。re in, when you39。re hired,‘ says voice actor”可知，Keythe Farley說配音演員在被雇傭時不知道自己在演什么角色，即她認為他們在被雇傭時不知道和工作相關的信息。故選B。 （5）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“if we pay them under a vastly different system than the people who do the percent of the work, that39。s going to create far more problems for the video game panies”可知，Scott Witlin認為，改變配音演員的酬勞體系會給游戲公司帶來更多的問題，%的工作。故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解題型的考查，是一篇社會現(xiàn)象類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，并結合題目要求，從而選出正確答案。7．閱讀理解 Mars(火星) appears to be flowing with small streams of salty water, at least in the summer, scientists reported Monday. It suggests that it would be possible for there to be life today on Mars, NASA39。s science mission chief, John Grunsfeld, said at a news conference on September 28, 2015. The streams are about 12 to 15 feet wide and 300 feet or more long, scientists said. What we39。re dealing with is wet soil, thin layers of wet soil, not standing water, said Aifred McEwen of the University of Arizona at Tueson, the principal scientist for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter39。s highresolution imaging experiment. Because liquid water is essential to life, the findings could have major implications for the possibility of Martian life. The researchers said further exploration is needed to determine whether microscopic life exists on the planet. The presence of liquid water could also make life easier for astronauts visiting or living on Mars. Water could be used for drinking and for creating oxygen and rocket fuel. NASA39。s goal is to send humans there in the 2030s. The evidence of flowing water consists largely of dark, narrow streaks(條痕) on the surface that tend to appear and grow during the warmest Martian months and fade the rest of the year. Mars is extremely cold even in summer, and the streaks are in places where the temperature is as low as minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit. But salt can lower the freezing point of water and melt ice. The source of the water is a mystery. Scientists noted it could be melting ice. It could be an underground aquifer, which is rock or sand that can hold water. It is possibly water vapor from the thin Martian atmosphere. Or it may be a bination Michael Meyer, lead scientist for NASA39。s Mars exploration program, said the only definitive way for now to determine whether there39。s life on Mars is to collect rocks and soil for analysis on Earth—something a U. S. lander set for liftoff in 2020 will do.（1）According to John Grunsfeld, there seems to be on Mars. A.salty waterB.standing waterC.rocket fuelD.human beings（2）Scientists are uncertain about the of the water on Mars. （3）What matters to the existence of liquid water on Mars? distance from the sun favorable climate gravity of the earth salt in it（4）What would be the best title for the text? of Water Spotted on Mars will Land on Mars39。s Mars Exploration Program Breakthrough in the Exploration of Mars【答案】 （1）A（2）B（3）D（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了火星上有水的跡象，進而推斷火星上可能有生命，但是水的來源仍舊是一個迷。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“Mars(火星) appears to be flowing with small streams of salty water,”火星上好像有含鹽的小溪在流動?？芍?，火星上好像有鹽水。故選A。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第七段中的“The source of the water is a mystery. ”水的來源是個迷，可知，科學家還不確定水的來源。故選B。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第六段“Mars is extremely cold even in summer, and the streaks are in places where the temperature is as low as minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit. But salt can lower the freezing point of water and melt ice.”即使在夏天火星也極其寒冷，在溫度達到零下10華氏度的地方水紋還存在。但是鹽可以降低水的結冰點并融化冰?？芍?，水里的鹽決定了火星上液體水的存在。故選D。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第一段中的“Mars(火星) appea
