Joseph Francis Charles Rock (1884–1962) was an Austrian-American explorer, botanist, and

anthropologist(人类学家). For more than 25 years, he travelled extensively through Tibet and Yunnan, Gansu, and

Sichuan provinces in China before finally leaving in 1949.

In 1924, Harvard sent Joseph Francis Rock on a treasure hunt through China’s southwestern provinces—the

Wild West of their day. But gold and silver weren’t his task : Rock, a distinguished botanist, sought only to fill his

bags with all the seeds, saplings, and shrubs he could find. During his three-year expedition, he collected 20,000

specimens for the Arnold Arboretum(阿诺德植物园).

Botany, though, was just one of Rock’s strengths. As an ethnologist(民族学者), he took hundreds of

photographs of the Naxi, a tribe in Yunnan province, recording their now-lost way of life for both Harvard and

National Geographic, and took notes for an eventual 500-page dictionary of their language. His hand-drawn map of

his travels through China’s “Cho-Ni” territory, in the Harvard Map Collection, includes more than a thousand

rivers, towns, and mountains indicated in both English and Chinese, and was so well made that the U.S.

government used it to plan aerial missions in World War II.

Scientist, linguist, cartographer, photographer, writer—Rock was not a wallflower in any sense. Arrogant and

self-possessed, he would walk into a village or warlord’s place “as if he owned the place,” said Lisa Pearson, the

Arboretum’s head librarian.

In declaring his successful return under the headline “Seeking Strange Flowers, in the Far Reaches of the

World” , the Boston Evening Transcript ran a large photo of the daring explorer wearing in a woolly coat and fox-

skin hat. “In discussing his heroism including hair-raising escapes from death either from mountain slides, snow

slides and robber armies, he waves the idea away as if it is of no importance.”

The Arboretum and Rock parted ways after 1927, mainly because his trip cost Harvard a fortune—about

$900,000 in today’s dollars. Fortunately, many of his specimens, many of his amazing photos, and his great stories

remain.

【解析】

【分析】

本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述的是美国探险家 Rock 对中国西南地区的探险。

【1题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第一段第二句 For more than 25 years, he travelled extensively through Tibet

and Yunnan, Gansu, and Sichuan provinces in China before 'nally leaving in 1949. （在超过

25 年的时间里，他游历了中国的西藏、云南、甘肃和四川，最后在 1949 年离开）以及全文内容可知，本

文主要讲的是 Rock 对中国西南部的探险。故选 D。

【2题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段的 His hand-drawn map of his travels through China’s “Cho-Ni”

territory, in the Harvard Map Collection, includes more than a thousand rivers, towns, and

mountains indicated in both English and Chinese, and was so well made that the U.S.

government used it to plan aerial missions in World War II.（在哈佛大学的地图收藏中，他手绘了

一张中国“楚-尼”地区的旅行地图，其中有上千条河流、城镇和山脉，用中英文标注。这张地图制作得非常

好，以至于美国政府在第二次世界大战中使用它来计划空中任务）可知，除了收集新的植物和标本外，

Rock 对美国的贡献还有他的手绘的地图在二战中被使用。故选 B。

【3题详解】

推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句中 he waves the idea away as if it is of no importance.（他

对这个想法不屑一顾，好像它不重要似的）可知，当人们提到他的英雄事迹时，Rock 的反应很平静。故

选C。

【4题详解】

细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句 mainly because his trip cost Harvard a fortune—about

$900,000 in today’s dollars（主要是因为他的旅行让哈佛损失了一大笔钱——以今天的美元计算大约

是90 万美元）可知，巨大的开支致使 Rock 停止了植物园的工作。故选 A。

【点睛】推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的推理判断，从而得到文章的隐含

意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以推理题的答

案只能是根据原文表面文字信息推出答案，即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写。如第3题，根

据倒数第二段最后一句中 he waves the idea away as if it is of no importance.（他对这个想法不屑一顾，好像

它不重要似的）可知，此处并不是直接说明 Rock 很平静，而是从这句话侧面推敲出来的。

You’ve heard of the fat suit and the pregnancy suit; now meet AGNES—the old person suit.

AGNES stands for “Age Gain Now Empathy（换位体验）System” and was designed by researchers at

MIT’s AgeLab to let you know what it feels like—physically—to be 75 years old. “The business of old age

demands new tools, ” said Joseph Coughlin, director of the AgeLab. “While focus groups and observations and

surveys can help you understand what the older consumer needs and wants, young marketers never get that ‘Ah

ha!’ moment of having difficulty opening a jar, or getting in and out of a car. That’s what AGNES provides. ”

Coughlin and his team carefully adjusted the suit to make the wearer just as uncomfortable as an old person

who has spent a lifetime eating poorly and not doing much exercise. Special shoes provide a feeling of imbalance,

while braces on the knees and elbows limit joint mobility. Gloves give the feeling of decreased strength and

mobility in the hands and wrists, and earplugs make it difficult to hear high-pitched sounds and soft tones. A helmet

with straps（带）attached to it presses the spine（脊柱）.

AGNES has been used most recently by a group of students working on a design of an updated walker. By

wearing the suit they could see for themselves what design and materials would make the most sense for a

physically limited older person. Coughlin said the suit has also been used by clothing companies, car companies

and retail goods companies to help them understand the limitations of an older consumer. An unexpected benefit
