(seniorcitizens,families,children),becoming,muchlikeitusedtobe,themeetingplacefortheneighbourhood.10选? A:plausible B:rational C:logical D:sensible 【答案】:C

【解析】:形容词辨析题。空缺处之后的形容词是workable“可行的”,意思是把区域改造成可使用的功能空间,可推测此处应填入logical,形容空间的合理性。故C项为正确选项。【干扰排除】A项表示“貌似有理的”,而实际上并非如此,带有贬义,故A项可排除;B项“理性的”,指头脑清醒的,不能形容空间的合理性;D项“明智的”,一般形容人的理性,所以D项也不合适。

ndencyiswidespread,20gender.4选? A:exposures B:dilemmas C:consequences D:symptoms 【答案】:D

【解析】:上下文语义及名词辨析题。根据句意,更糟的是,严重的睡眠不足会导致抑郁、焦虑和妄想症。观察各选项,严重的睡眠不足导致妄想症的症状更符合上下文语义及逻辑.故D项为正确选项。【干扰排除】A项exposures(ofparanoia)“(妄想症的)暴露”.B项dilemmas(ofparanoia)“(妄想症的)困境”,均搭配不当;c项consequences(ofparanoia)“(妄想症造成的)结果”,文中并没有这种因果关系。故均排除。

【解析】:本题考查形容词辨析。空格所在后半句指出,追随者的主观看法(subjectivclyview.....):具有极高智商的领导者更低效。由上题可知,两句问为转折逻辑,故空格所在半句应与之相对,“具有更聪明领导者的团队表现更好”依据的应是客观标准.C.objective符合文意。

A:series

- 7 -

B:amount C:list D:swarm 【答案】:A

【解析】:本题考查句内语义十短语辨析。由空格后的faces可知,空格所在部分a(n)of在语法上能够接可数名词复数,在语义上能够修饰“面孔”,符合文意的只有A.(a)series(of)。C.(a)list(of)表示“(按一定顺序排列的)系列事项,清单”,但文巾adescriptionofpastbehavior,eitherpositiveornegative、noses.…wider、morenarrownoses等信息以及下文“研究对象要选出自己信任的头像(hadtotrust...)”暗示头像应是随机的,这也符合实验常理,故“按一定顺序排列”无从谈起。

A:admits B:believes C:claims D:predicates 【答案】:A

【解析】:动词辨析题。本题考查动词,关键点是动词和后面的宾语

- 9 -

从句的动宾搭配。文章讲到

thatthereiSnosciencetomanagement:hegottheforoneofTesco'smostsuccessfulinnovations-smallstoresintowncentres,根据该句,该空应该填人已经成为事实的动词,与上下文相符,故A项为正确选项。【干扰排除】B项“相信”通常是主观相信某事是真的,与文意不符,故排除;c项“声称”和D项“预言”都不符合文章的意思,故均排除。

A:more studies were required to decide whether to change guldance for using antibiotics to the public.

- 12 -

B:enough antibiotics should be used to prevent the spread of deadlier forms of disease.

C:patients under antibiotic treatment had long been worried about overuse.

D:patients should stop taking antibiotics as soon as they became unnecessary for them.

E:many advised courses were too short to treat diseases as minor as urinary tract infections.

F:changing the'always complete the course'message might bring about confusion to people.

G:doctors were supposed to have known the ideal length of antibiotic treatments. 【答案】:D

【解析】:根据题干MartinI。lwelyn定位至第三段。该段第二句Martin指出:在没有必要的情况下继续服用抗生紊会增加耐药性风险,明确传达“如已无必要,应该停止服用抗生索”的观点ID.与之一致。[排除干扰]C.利用第三段首句Martin之言设置干扰,但将文巾undertreatment(治疗不足)替换为形近的under...treatment(在治疗中),将Historically(历史上)误解为hadIongbeen(一直以来),并强加主体“患者”,捏造出“一直以来患者担心抗生索使用过量”的信息。但该句讲的是历史上“抗生素患不足而不患过量”的情形,并未提及患者当下态度。

A:related B:essential C:harmful D:beneficial 【答案】:D

【解析】:本题考查上下文语义。空格词考查“情商”与“情商拥有者”之间的关系,that同位语从句说明prevailingview的具体内容。已知“新研究”和“普遍观点”为互斥关系.而新研究揭露了高情商的不利面,故空格处必须表现”高情商的有利面”,D.beneficial符合文意。

dwicheswasastart.But19thatstaffareenthusiasticwillbeespeciallydifficultwhenjobsare20.17选? A:mixture B:blending C:integration D:combination 【答案】:D

【解析】:名词辨析题。Tokeepcustomerscomingtoremainingoutlets,bemightexperimentwithdiscountssuchascheap____mealsofadrinkandfood.(为了让顾客能够继续在店里消费,他可能尝试打折,比如增设价格低的饮料和食品的餐。)根据文中意思,能把drinkandfood结合只能是combination.combinationmeals表示“组合餐,套餐”,为常见的餐饮用语。故D项为正确选项。【干扰排除】其他三个选项,A项mixture“混合;混合物”,B项blending“混合;调配;混合物”,C项integration“结合;整合”,都不符合句意,故排除。 9.Whenwemeetpeopleforthefirsttime,weoftenmakedecisionsaboutthembasedentirelyonhowtheylook.And,ofcourseit'ssomethingthatworksbothways,forwetooarebeingjudgedonourappearance.Whenwelookgood,wefeelgood,whichinturnleadstoamoreconfidentandself-assuredmanner.Peoplethenpickuponthisconfldenceandrespondpositivelytowardsus.Undoubtedly,it'swhat'sinsidethat'simportant,butsometimeswecansendoutthewrongsignalssimplybywearingin

B:Being cautious when experimenting C:Finding a model to follow

D:Getting the final look absolutely right E:Learning to be realistic F:Making regular conscious choices G:How to judge people 【答案】:B

【解析】:第五段承接第四段,第四段讲确定个人品位,则接下来就可以讲挑选和尝试了。第五段主要讲如何挑选适合自己的衣服.虽然有时候挑战一些新色彩组合有好处,但不要走极端。experiment有尝试的意思,与文中的tryout和challenge相照应,故B项为正确选项。

A:transferring the profit to another place B:obtaining investment from tax havens C:denying tax paying to govemment

D:refusing offering more job opportunities 【答案】:A

【解析】:推理判断题。根据定位词定位到第四段。该段主要论述大公司如何避税的问题,大企业通常使用“转移定价”的方式制造假象,即一个地区的利润实际上产生于另一地区,故A项为正确选项。【干扰排除】第四段第二句提到“全球对外直接投资巾有约30%流经避税场所”,所以B项“从避税场所获得投资”不正确;第五句表示大企业不是拒绝交税,而是可以谈判,故C项错误;由第一句提到“超级明星企业的重要性也彰显了它们擅长非生产类活动”可知,大企业现在提供的就业机会减少,部分是由于科技发展,并非拒绝提供就业机会,D项不正确。

【解析】:形容词辨析题。根据文章

AssumingthatStarbucksdrinkersdecidethatViatastesgood,thecompanywiilhavetogettheprice.(如果星巴克的客人认为Via味道不错,公司将不得不对价格进行。)C项right“妥当的,恰当的”,符合文意,故为正确选项。【干扰排除】A项suitable“适合的”,通常与介词to或者for连用,意为“适合于某种目的或场合”。B项proper“适当的”通常表示“符合某种特定要求的正确做法”,如行为是否合理、分寸是否恰当。D项correct“正确的”,它通常指对一个事物做出的理性评价,如“正确…‘错误”之分。三个选项在这里都不合适,故均排除。

【解析】:第八段主要介绍了婴儿对音乐的偏好,并举了莫扎特钢琴奏鸣曲的例子,因此可推断C项“给婴儿选音乐”为正确选项。 14.Text2Nowondertheyarecalled\"patients\".Whenpeopleenterthehealth-caresystemsofrichcountriestoday,theyknowwhattheywillget:proddingdoctors,endlesstests,risingcostsand,aboveall,longwaits.Somestoicismwillalwaysbeneeded,becausehealthcareiscomplexanddiligencematters.Butfrustrationisboilingover.ThisweekthreeofthebiggestnamesinAmericanbusiness-Amazon,BerkshireHathawayandJPMorganChase-announcedanewventuretoprovidebetter,cheaperhealthcarefortheiremployees.Afundamentalproblemwithtoday'ssystemisthatpatientslackknowledgeandcontrol.Accesstodatacanbestowboth.Theintemetalreadyenablespatientstoseekonlineconsultationswhenandwhereitsuitsthem.Yetradicalchangedemandsashiftinemphasis,fromproviderstopatientsandfromdoctorstodata.Thatshiftishappening.Technologiessuchasthesmartphoneallowpeopletomonitortheirownhealth.Thepossibilitiesmultiplywhenyouaddthecrucialmissingingredients-accesstoyourownmedic

【解析】:态度方向题。根据定位词定位到文章最后一段。该段指出,广泛分享数据所带来的好处是否大于这些风险?种种迹象表明的确如此……研究表明,有这样渠道的患者更了解自己的疾病,而且他们的疾病治疗也更成功……没人比你自己更关心你的身体健康。所以相信你自己做医生的能力吧。由此可见,作者对更容易获取病历的态度是充满希望的,故A项为正确选项。【干扰排除】B项“客观的”,C项“漠不关心的”和D项“满意的”,均不符合作者的态度观点,故均排除。

A:reproach B:accuse C:blame D:charge 【答案】:B

【解析】:动词辨析题。accuse语气比blame强,本义为归罪,可指控告或谴责,常用结构为accusesb.ofsth.。根据文中的结构,Noonecan____HowardSchultzofinactionsinceheretumedaschiefexecutiveofStarbucks,句中出现了介词of,即结构accusesb.ofsth.,故B项为正确选项。【干扰排除】A项reproach侧重指因他人粗心、自私等引起不满而去指责、找茬。一般指从平等的关系或地位出发,提出意见,暗示带有难过心情的责备。常见短语为

reproachsb.for/withsth.。C项blame为普通用词,语气较弱,仅是一般的责难、归咎于,不含有语言责骂之意。常见结构为blamesb.forsth.或blamesth.onsb.,表示因某事而责备某人,还有一种搭配为betoblame(以主动形式表示被动意思)表示应受谴责。

- 40 -

D项charge为及物动词,尤指由官方或官方团体所进行的指控,后接介词with,即chargesb。withsth.。故三项均排除。

【解析】:动词辨析题。根据空缺处所在句子的后半句:

therehasbeenarevivalofactivityintheneighbourhood(周边社区恢复了场所活力)可知,公园实现了改造,故A项为正确选项。【干扰排除】该句主要是强凋工厂改造完成了,没有具体提到被认可的问题,所以B项“接受”排除;C项“完成”是单纯地做完某一件事,而旧工厂改造成公园在之前几乎是不可能完成的任务,所以用realized更能体现梦想实现的意味;D项“形成”不能体现变不可能为可能的

- 42 -

意味,所以排除。

选项。【干扰排除】A项“寻求其他贸易机会”、B项“失去大量的出口市场”、C项“减少他们的对外贸易”文中均没有提及,故排除。 22.Text2MPsaretoinvestigatetheenvironmentalimpactofthrowaway\"fastfashion\"intheUKamidgrowingconcernsthatthemulti-billionpoundindustryiswastingvaluableresourcesandcontributingtoclimatechange.Theinquiry,launchedonFridaybytheHouseofCommonsenvironmentalauditcommittee,willexplorethecarbonimpact,resourceuseandwaterfootprintofclothingthroughoutitslifecycleandsupplychain.Invitingevidenceonhowtheinfluentialsectorshouldremodelitselftobeboth\"thrivingandsustainable\wimprovedrecyclingratesofclothingcouldslashwasteandpollution.\"Fashionshouldn'tcosttheEarth,\"saidMaryCreaghMP,chairofthecommittee.\"Butthewaywedesign,makeanddiscardclotheshasahugeenvironmentalimpact.Producingclothesrequiresclimate-changingemissions.Everytimeweputonawash,thousandsofplasticfibreswashdownthedrainintotheoceans.Wedon'tknowwhereorhowtorecycleend-of-lifeclothing.\"DespiterecenttroublesontheUKhighstreet,thefashionsectorhascontinuedtogrow.AccordingtotheBritishFashionCouncil,theUKfashionindustrycontributed~28.lbntonationalGDPin2015,upfrom

C:MPs to Illustrate the Environmental Issues Caused by Clothes D:MPs to Examine Environmental Footprint of UK Fashion Industry 【答案】:D

【解析】:主旨大意题。本文主要讲述的是英国“快速时尚”现象,也就是时装行业对环境造成的影响及解决办法,故D项最符合题意。【干扰排除】A项,回收旧衣服只是解决环境问题的其中一项措施,并不是文章主旨,故排除;B项,文章不仅解释“快速时尚”现象,主要是调查并找到解决办法,故排除;C项比较片面,不能准确表达本文主旨,故排除。

【解析】:[信息锁定]第二段②句指出,尽管已投入数百万资金,但总体来说大学技术学院饱受GCSE成绩不佳、无力吸引足够多年轻人的困扰。B.正确,insufficientstudentenrollment是对②句aninabilitytoattractsufficientnumbersofyoungpeople的同义替换。[解题技巧]A.与第二段②句“已投入数百万资金”相悖。C.由第二段首句“大学技术学院将技术学习与理论学习相结合,意在提供素质职业教育”歪曲而来,但原文仅指出“设立初衷”,并未提及实际操作过程中过分重视职业学习-D.根据第二段②句“GCSE成绩不佳”捏造而来,而文中并未谈及大学技术学院的学术教育能力状况。 25.Whilemooddisorderssuchasdepressionandbipolardisorderareseriousmentalhealthconditionsthatrequiretreatment,shortspellsofbadmoodsareanormalpartofthehumanexperience.Beitadvertisingorsocialmedia,peoplehavewronglylhappinesslikeacommodity,a

【解析】:本题考查动词短语辨析。空格上文”智慧造就更好的领导者”与空格句主述对象“应对T日场转变或立法僵局需要高认知能力(即高智商)”之问存在平行语义关系,且两句间并无逻辑关系词、却与末句存在转折逻辑词BLII.故可推测首两句间为顺承关系,两句与末句共同形成今昔对比关系

的错误宣传,人们将快乐看作商品、终极目标或永久心态,言外之意即只有快乐才是值得追求的。空格句指出“允许自己经历失望、挫败、奢望和其他负而情绪是我们……学习过程的一部分”则表明负面情绪是正常的,显然与上文“广告或社交媒体所官传的只有快乐值得追求(所以要竭力避免负面情绪)”的语义构成转折逻辑.B.Inreaiity用于引出与人们想法不同的真实情形,符合文意。A.Intheory表示”理论上为真(但事实很可能未必如此)”,但下文1nsomecases(在一些情况下)提示原文介绍的是真实情形,并非理论情形;且由下文内容“负面情绪对人们有益”可知,空格后是事实,而非仅理论上成立。 30.Manyexpertsbelievethatinthenewworldofartificialintelligence(AI)

【答案】:D

【解析】:本题考查上下文语义逻辑。空格句意为,这就是一我们人类在智能技术世界中增加价值。句首That回指空格上句”我们将悦纳谦逊”这一处事方式.而空格后为“正面的结果”,很明显两者为“采取办法一,达成结果”的逻辑.D.how表示“方式、方法”,符合文意。空格后从句为完整句子.不缺主语或宾语,故排除B.what。A.why表原因.C.where表地点.均不合文意。 二、问答题(共5题)

幽暗的房间里,一群年轻女性跟着扬声器里传出的音乐节拍,又蹦又跳,挥汗如雨。遗憾的是,它不是一场药物刺激下的狂欢,而是斯宾课的下午场。这是一节由激情单车工作室开办的动感单车课程,其推广的运营理念是:在高亢激昂的音乐下骑行,就好比参加了一次“灵魂救赎营”的集训。一节课程通常是45分钟,单次收费为35美元,骑车的同时还需要做一些笨拙的拉举动作,但这并不会阻止那些高端消费者纷纷加入。“有些女性为了来这里花了很多钱。”一位工作人员扬着眉毛说道。根据行业组织国际健康及运动俱乐部协会的数据显示,健身俱乐部会员现已达到5400万,超出2009年的4500万,是20世纪90年代中期美国人报名参加健身俱乐部的两倍。 【解析】:

【答案】:如今,大多数人似乎绝对肯定的一件事情是:绝对主义思维有害(是的,这有点讽刺)。对生活提出刻板要求,未能满足就大发脾气,这并非幸福之道。认为世间万物非黑即白、非观点毫无二致者不结交,这同样无法带来幸福。绝对主义内化时表现为完美主义,同样于健康不利。然而,我们还是都会陷于绝对主义思维,因为这更容易:我们执迷于简单的法则,以期在原本极其复杂的星球上生存下去。遗憾的是,这一人皆有之的习惯倘若做得过火,反而会阻碍我们身体运转:越来越多的证据表明,绝对主义思维可能引发抑郁症。不难明白绝对主义为何带来痛苦:你对生活的图谱越是死板,你所创造的令其与现实的混乱相冲突的机会也就越多。 【解析】:
