We live today indebted to McCardell Cashin, Hawes, Wilkins, and Maxwell, and other women who liberated American fashion from the ___11___of Parisian design, Independence came in tying, wrapping, storing, and. rationalizing that wardrobe. These designers established the modern dress code, letting playsuits and other active outfits suit casual clothing, allowing pants to enter the wardrobe, and prizing rationalism and utility in dress, in contradiction to dressing for an occasion. Fashion in America was logical and ___12___ to the will of the women who wore it. American fashion addressed a democracy, whereas traditional Paris-based fashion was standardized and imposed on women, willing or not. In an earlier time, American fashion had also followed the directions of Paris, or even___13___specific French designs. Designer sportswear was not modeled on that of Europe, as “modern art” would later be; it was ____14____invented and developed in America. Its designers were not high-end with supplementary lines. The design objective and the business commitment were targeted to sportswear, and the distinctive traits were problem-solving ingenuity (独创性)and realistic lifestyle applications. Ease of care was most important: summer dresses and outfits, in particular, were___15___ cotton, readily capable of being washed and pressed at home. Closings were simple, practical, and ___16___ as the modern woman depended on no personal maid to dress her. American designers ___17___ the freedom of women who wore the clothing. Many have argued, that the women designers of that time ___18___ their own clothing values into a new style. Of course, much of this argument in the 1930s-40s was advanced because there was little or no experience in designing clothes on the basis of utility. But could utility alone ___19___the new ideas of the American designers? Fashion is often regarded as a pursuit of beauty, and some cherished fashion's relationship to the fine arts. What the designers of the American sportswear proved was that fashion is a design art, answering to the demanding needs of service. Of course these practical,___20___ designers have determined the course of late twentieth-century fashion. They were the pioneers of gender equity, in their useful, adaptable clothing, which was both made for the masses and capable of self-expression. 【答案】11. C 12. B 13. G 14. K 15. L 16. D 17. A 18. E 19. F 20. H 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。主要说明了女性设计师建立了现代的着装规范，让运动装和其他活跃的服装搭配休闲服 装，让裤子进入衣柜，在服装上注重理性和实用，这与为场合而着装是矛盾的。以及美国与欧洲的服饰理 念区别，以及美国运动装的设计师们务实而富有洞察力的设计师决定了二十世纪晚期时尚的发展方向。 【11 题详解】 考查名词。句意：我们今天的生活要感谢麦卡德尔·卡辛、霍斯、威尔金斯和麦克斯韦，以及其他将美国时 尚从巴黎设计的局限中解放出来的女性。从 the…of 结构可以判断出此处需要填一个名词，再从整句句意“其 他女性把美国的时尚从巴黎设计的……中解放出来”可以确定此处只能填 limit。故选 C。 【12 题详解】 考查形容词。句意：在美国，时尚是合乎逻辑的，符合穿着它的女性的意愿。首先 and 连接的前后两部分 结构和词性要相同对等，然后此处 and 前面为形容词 logical，所以此处需要填一个形容词，再根据 the will of the women 女性的意志可以得出此处该填 answerable。故选 B。 【13 题详解】 考查动词。句意：早些时候，美国时装也遵循巴黎的指示，甚至是盗版的特定法国设计。根据 or 为并列连 词，前后两部分结构应保持一致可以得出此空需要填一个动词，在根据前面的 followed（剽窃）一词可以确 定此处填 pirated,意思也为剽窃、模仿。故选 G。 【14 题详解】 考查副词。句意：设计师设计的运动装没有像后来的“现代艺术”那样模仿欧洲的样式;它是真正在美国发明 和发展起来的。从 it was …invented and developed 句子结构可以看出此处需要填一个副词来修饰 invented 和 developed 这两个动词，由前文句意运动服的设计者没有模仿欧洲的设计，正如迟一点出现的现代美术一样， 它是…由美国发明出来并推广的，可以确定此处填 genuinely“真正地”。故选 K。 【15 题详解】 考查副词。句意：护理方便是最重要的:尤其是夏装和服装，主要是棉质的，很容易在家清洗和熨烫。首先从后面的 cotton 棉质的这个形容词可以看出此处应填一个副词，cotton 在此处修饰前面的 summer dress and outfits，所以应理解为形容词“棉质的”而不是名词“棉花”，故填 chiefly。故选 L。 【16 题详解】 考查形容词。句意：由于现代妇女不需要贴身女仆为她们穿衣，所以关门简单、实用、方便。and 为并列连 词，前面是形容词，因此此处也填形容词，再根据前面修饰拉链的词为“简单的，实用的”可以看出此处填 accessible “方便的”一词最符合句意。故选 D。 【17 题详解】 考查动词。句意：美国设计师们珍视穿着这些服装的女性的自由。根据句子结构判断出此处缺少一个动词， 再根据句意可推出此处填 prized“看重”一词最恰当。故选 A。 【18 题详解】 考查动词。句意：许多人认为，那个时代的女性设计师把自己的服装价值投射到一种新的风格中。从 that 后面的句子结构分析可以看出从句缺少一个动词，再根据固定搭配 project..into…“把……投入……”可以分 析出此处应填 project。故选 E。 【19 题详解】 考查动词。句意：但是仅仅是实用性就能证明美国设计师的新想法是正确的吗?从句子结构分析出此处缺少 一个动词，再根据句中的 the new ideas of…可以判断只有 justify“证明”一词符合句意。故选 F。 【20 题详解】 考查形容词。句意：当然，这些务实而富有洞察力的设计师决定了二十世纪晚期时尚的发展方向。根据前 面 practical 可以看出此处应填一个形容词来修饰 designers,再分析所给形容词可以看出此处填 insightful“有 洞察力的”修饰设计者最符合句意。故选 H。 Ⅲ. Reading comprehension SectionA Directions：For each blank in thefollowing passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C, and D. Fillin each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Face shape lets AI spot rare disorders People with genetic syndromes（综合征）sometimes have revealing facial features, but using them to make a quick and cheap diagnosis can be___21___ given there are hundreds of possible conditions they may have. A new neural network that analyses photographs of faces can help doctors ___22___ the possibilities. Yaron Gurovich at biotechnology firm FDNA in Boston and his team built a neural network to look at the overall impression of faces and ___23___ a list of the 10 genetic syndromes a person is most likely to have. They ___24___ the neural network, called DeepGestalt, on 17,000 images correctly labelled to match more than 200 genetic syndromes. The team then asked the AI to ___25___ potential genetic disorders from a further 502 photos of people with such conditions. It included the correct answer among its list of 10 responses 91 per cent of the time. Gurovich and his team also___26___ the neural network’s ability to distinguish between the different genetic mutations (变异) that can lead to the same syndrome. They used photographs of people with Noonan syndrome, which can result from mutations in any one of five genes. DeepGestalt correctly identified the genetic source of the physical appearance 64 per cent of the time. It’s clearly not ___27___, but it’s still much better than humans are at trying to do this. As the system makes its assessments, the facial regions that were most helpful in the determination are ___28___ and made available for doctors to view. This helps them to understand the relationships between genetic make-up and physical appearance. The fact that the diagnosis is based on a simple photograph raises questions about___29___. If faces can reveal details about genetics, then employers and insurance providers could, in principle, ___30___ use such techniques to ___31___ against people who have a high probability of having certain disorders. ___32___, Gurovich says the tool will only be ___33___ for use by clinicians. This technique could bring significant___34___ for those who have genetic syndromes. The real value here is that for some of these ultra-rare diseases, the process of diagnosis can be many, many years. This kind of technology can help narrow down the search space and then be confirmed through checking genetic markers. For some diseases, it will cut down the time to diagnosis dramatically. For others, it could perhaps add means of finding other people with the disease and, ___35___, help find new treatments or cures. 21. A. convincing B. tricky C. reliable D. feasible 22. A. bring about B. result from C. narrow down D. rule out 23. A. return B. input C. top D. feed 24. A. based B. imposed C. focused D. trained 25. A. identify B. distinguish C. shift D. cure 26.

Each passage is followed by severalquestions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choicesmarked A, B, C, and D. Choose the one that fits best according to theinformation given in the passage you have just read. （A） The two roads It was New Year’s Night. An aged man was standing at a window. He raised his mournful eyes towards the deep blue sky, where the stars were floating like white lilies on the surface of a clear calm lake. When he cast them on the earth, where a few more hopeless people besides himself now moved towards their certain goal--- the tomb. He had already passed sixty of the stages leading to it, and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and regrets. Now his health was poor, his mind vacant, his heart sorrowful, and his old age short of comforts. The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads---one leading to a peaceful, sunny place, covered with flowers, fruits and resounding with soft, sweet songs; the other leading to a deep, dark cave, which was endless, where poison flowed instead of water and where devils and poisonous snake hissed and crawled. He looked towards the sky and cried painfully, “O, my father, place me once more at the entrance to life, and I’ll choose the better way!” But both his father and the days of his youth had passed away. He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness. These were the days of his wasted life; he saw a star fall from the sky and disappeared, and this was the symbol of himself. His regret, which was like a sharp arrow, struck deeply into his heart. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood, who entered on life with him. But they had made their way to success and were now honored and happy on this New Year’s night. The clock in the church tower struck and the sound made him remember his parents’ early love for him. They had taught him and prayed to God for his good. But he chose the wrong way. With shame and grief he dared no longer look towards the heaven where his father lived. His darkened eyes were full of tears, and with a despairing effort, he burst out a cry: “Come back, my early days! Come back” And his youth did return, for all this was only a dream which he had on New Year Night. He was still young though his faults were real; he had not yet entered the deep, dark cave, and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land. Those who still linger at the entrance of life, hesitating to choose the bright road, remember that when years are passed and your feet stumble on the dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain: “ O youth, return! Oh give me back my early days!” 36. In the 3rd paragraph, the man cried painfully because _________. A. all the hopeless people were moving towards death B. He had lost forever the chance to take the right road C. His parents and the happy days of his youth were gone D. He refused to take the road leading to a deep dark cave 37. What happened to the man before his sudden realization? A. He was at his father’s funeral farewell. B. He was enjoying the New Year’s eve. C. He was wandering at the entrance to life.D. He was having a dream of his life in old age. 38. We can infer from the story that _________. A. The man’s childhood friends led a joyful life like him B. The man still had the opportunity to chose the right way C. both the man’s parents passed away when he was young D. the man’s father was quite strict with his son before death 39 The passage is mainly written for _________. A. a new driver getting lost on a detour B. a concerned mother with two children to raise C. an experienced teacher with a good reputation D. a hesitating young adult facing a tough life choice 【答案】36. B 37. D 38. B 39. D 【解析】 这是一篇记叙文。文章通过记叙一个年轻人在新年之夜做梦梦到自己晚年生活，非常后悔自己在年轻时没 有听从父亲的劝告，走正确的人生道路。以此文章来告诫犹豫不决的年轻人要选择正确的道路。 【36 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段 He looked towards the sky and cried painfully, “O, my father, place me once more at the entrance to life, and I’ll choose the better way!” But both his father and the days of his youth had passed away. （他仰望着天空，痛苦地哭喊着:“啊，我的父亲，把我重新放到人生的起点上吧，我会选择更好的道路!” 但他的父亲和他的青春年华都已一去不复返了。）可知男人痛苦地哭了，因为他永远失去了走正确道路的机 会。故选 B。 【37 题详解】 细节理解题。通过倒数第二段第一句 And his youth did return, for all this was only a dream which he had on New Year Night.（他的青春真的回来了，因为这一切只不过是他在新年夜里做的一个梦。）可知这个人正在做关 于他晚年生活的一个梦。故选 D。 【38 题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中 he had not yet entered the deep, dark cave, and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land.（他还没有进入那黑暗的深渊，他还可以自由地走在通向宁静 和光明的道路上。）可知这个人仍然有机会选择正确的道路。故选 B。 【39 题详解】 .推理判断题。根据文章最后一段 Those who still linger at the entrance of life, hesitating to choose the bright road, remember that when years are passed and your feet stumble on the dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain: “ O youth, return! Oh give me back my early days!”（仍在人生路口徘徊，仍在为是否应该疡光明坦途而犹豫 不决的人们啊，请记住:当你青春已逝，双足在黑暗的群山中举步维艰，跌跌撞撞之时，你才痛心疾首地呼 唤:“啊，回来吧，青春!哦，把我早年的时光还给我吧!”）以及文章内容可知，这篇文章主要是写给一个犹 豫不决的年轻人面对艰难的人生选择。故选 D 项。 （B） “Buffalo, buffalo, Buffalo, buffalo, buffalo, buffalo, Buffalo, buffalo’’ is a real sentence. How? Let's break it down, starting with simple phrase. Monkeys from Pisa bully deer from London. Ok, admittedly, it's an impossible scenario, but it is a grammatically fine sentence. In English, we can use place names as adjective, so let's shorten the sentence a little. Pisa monkeys bully London deer. Now we'll throw in some giraffes from Paris to even the score with those mean monkeys. Pisa monkeys, whom Paris giraffes intimidate, bully London deer. English is peculiar in that you can omit relative pronouns, e.g., “ the person whom I love’’ can be expressed as ‘’the the person I love.’’ Let’s do that to this sentence. Pisa monkeys Paris giraffes intimidate bully London deer. This kind of pronoun removal can be a little more dedicate to grasp when written than when spoken. Saying the above sentence with pauses after monkeys and intimidate can help. Now we need to replace both of the verbs, intimidate and bully, with their (admittedly uncommon) synonym, buffalo. Pisa monkeys Paris giraffes buffalo buffalo London deer. Again, pauses help keep the meaning in mind: Put a pause after monkeys and the first buffalo. Now we'll replace all the worldwide place names with the second-largest city in New York State, Buffalo.(That’s Buffalo’s tallest building, One Seneca Tower, below.) Buffalo monkeys Buffalo giraffes buffalo buffalo Buffalo deer. You can probably guess what the next step is. But before we replace all the animals with the common name for the American bison, note how the capital letters in the above sentence help you keep the place names separate from the other usages of the word. Ok, here goes: Buffalo, buffalo, Buffalo, buffalo, buffalo, buffalo, Buffalo, buffalo.One last thing to note: This exceptional sentence is possible because the plural of the animal buffalo is buffalo, not buffalos, otherwise all the words wouldn’t be identical. 40. How should we read the following sentence with proper pauses? A. Buffalo buffalo Buffalo / buffalo buffalo /buffalo Buffalo buffalo. B. Buffalo Buffalo /Buffalo buffalo buffalo / buffalo Buffalo buffalo. C. Buffalo buffalo Buffalo / buffalo buffalo buffalo / Buffalo buffalo. D. Buffalo buffalo /Buffalo buffalo / buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo. 41. What’s the key element to make this sentence possible? A. The relative pronouns in English can be omitted. B. In English, place names can be used as adjectives. C. The city has the same name with a kind of American bison. D. The word buffalo has the same form of singular and plura. 42. Where can you probably find this article? A. Wandering the Earth B. Linguistics Around Us C. Popular Animal Science D. Collins English Grammer 【答案】40. C 41. D 42. B 【解析】 【分析】 这是一篇说明文。主要以一句话为例，说明了语言学中句子组成和拆分的规律。 【40 题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第五段第一句 Again, pauses help keep the meaning in mind: Put a pause after monkeys and the first buffalo.（再一次，停顿有助于记住意思:在猴子和第一只水牛之后停顿。）和第六段首句 Saying the above sentence with pauses after monkeys and intimidate can help. Now we need to replace both of the verbs, intimidate and bully, with their (admittedly uncommon) synonym, buffalo.（说上面这句话时，加上猴子和恐吓之 后的停顿会有所帮助。现在，我们需要把恐吓和恶霸这两个动词都换成它们的同义词水牛(确实不常见)。） 可知说明前面第三个词后停顿一下，接着第六个词后需要停顿一下，故答案为 C。 【41 题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句 One last thing to note: This exceptional sentence is possible because the plural of the animal buffalo is buffalo, not buffalos, otherwise all the words wouldn’t be identical.（最后要注意的是:这个特殊的句子是可能的，因为单词 buffalo 的复数是 buffalo，而不是 buffalos，否则所有的单词就不一 样了。）可知使这个句子成为可能的关键因素是名词 buffalo 的单复数是一致的。故选 D。 【42 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段 Let's break it down, starting with simple phrase.（让我们从简单的短语开始。）以及第 四段中 In English, we can use place names as adjective, so let's shorten the sentence a little.（在英语中，我们可以 用地名作形容词，所以让我们把句子缩短一点。）等表明主要研究语言学中句子组成和拆分的规律，可知文 章最有可能在 Linguistics Around Us 中找到，故答案为 B。 【点睛】文章出处类推理判断题。做这类题重要的是要抓住文章的内容或结构特征，这是推理判断的前提 和基础。如报纸，前面会出现日期、地点、通讯社名称等；广告，其格式特殊，容易辨认；产品说明、器 皿设备的使用说明有产品名称或操作方法，而药品的服用说明会告知服用时间、次数和药量等。如第三小 题，根据第三段 Let's break it down, starting with simple phrase.（让我们从简单的短语开始。）以及第四段中 In English, we can use place names as adjective, so let's shorten the sentence a little.（在英语中，我们可以用地名作 形容词，所以让我们把句子缩短一点。）等表明主要研究语言学中句子组成和拆分的规律，可知文章最有可 能在 Linguistics Around Us 中找到，故答案为 B。 （C） The idea that richer countries are happier may seem intuitively obvious. However, in 1974, research by economist Richard Easterlin found otherwise, He discovered that while individuals with higher incomes were more likely to be happy, this did not hold at a national level. In the United States, for example, average income per person rose steadily between 1946 and 1970, but reported happiness levels showed no positive long-term trend.; in fact, they declined between 1060 and 1970. These differences between nation-level and individual results gave rise to the term “ Easterlin paradox”: the idea that a higher rate of economic growth does not result in higher long-term happiness. Having access to additional income seems to only provide a temporary surge in happiness. Since a certain minimum income is needed for basic necessities, it’s possible that the happiness boost from extra cash isn’t that great once you rise above the poverty line. This would explain Easterlin’s findings in the United States and other developed countries. He argued that life satisfaction does rise with average incomes but only in the short term. Recent research has challenged the Easternlin paradox, however. In2013, sociologists Ruut Veenhoven and Floris Vergunst conducted a study using statistics from the World Database of Happiness. Their analysis revealed a positive correlation between economic growth and happiness. Another study by the University of Michigan found that there is no maximum wealth threshold at which more money ceases to contribute to your happiness: “If there is a satiation point, we are yet to reach it.” The study’s findings suggested that every extra dollar you earn makes you happier. With a much debate about the relationship between money and happiness, it’s clear that happiness itself is a complex concept and depends on many factors. According to psychologists Selin Kesebir and Shigehiro Oishi, happiness also depends on how your income compares to the people around you. They argue that a country’s economic growth only makes its citizens happier if wealth is evenly distributed. In emerging countries with high income inequality——where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer——average happiness tends to drop because only relatively few people benefit from the economic prosperity. This suggests that governments should consider implementing policies to ensure more equal distribution of wealth. The happier people are, the more productive they are likely to become, thus leading to improved economic outcomes at the individual and national levels. There is continuing debate about the link between wealth and happiness, with arguments both for and against the notion that richer countries are happier. However, it is clear that wealth alone isn’t enough to make us happy. The effect of income inequality on happiness shows that happiness is a social responsibility. We need to remember the positive effects of generosity, altruism, and building social connections. Perhaps our focus should be less on how m uch money we have, and more on how we use it. 43. According to the passage, Easterlin Paradox refers to______. A. the fact that the more money, the happier people will feel B. the suggestion that money should be given the top priority C. the question how economic outcomes are distributed nationwide D. the opinion that higher income doesn’t necessarily generate happiness 44. The word “satiation” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “______”. A. satisfaction B. controversial C. central D. sensitive 45. What is the major reason for people’s unhappiness related to money? A Money not enough. B. Money not fairly dirtributed. C. Rich people richer D. Unequal money paid for equal work. 46. Which of the following might be best title of this passage? A. It’s all relative B. Easternlin paradox C. The economic of happiness D. Rising income, rising happiness 【答案】43. D 44. A 45. B 46. C 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。在 1974 年，经济学家理查德·伊斯特林研究发现生活满意度的确会随着人均收入的增加 而提高，但这只是在短期内。2013 年，社会学家 Ruut Veenhoven 和 Floris Vergunst 的分析表明，经济增长 .与幸福之间存在正相关关系。同时根据心理学家 Selin Kesebir 和 Shigehiro Oishi 的说法，幸福还取决于您的 收入与周围人的比较。他们认为，只有财富平均分配，一个国家的经济增长才能使其公民更加幸福。作者 认为我们应该少关注我们有多少钱，多关注我们如何使用它。 【43 题详解】 细节理解题。第一段最后一句 These differences between nation-level and individual results gave rise to the term “ Easterlin paradox”: the idea that a higher rate of economic growth does not result in higher long-term happiness. （国家水平和个人结果之间的这些差异导致了“伊斯特林悖论”一词的出现:即较高的经济增长率并不会带 来较高的长期幸福感。）可知根据这篇文章，伊斯特林悖论指的是高收入不一定带来幸福的观点。故选 D。 【44 题详解】 词义猜测题。根据上文 Another study by the University of Michigan found that there is no maximum wealth threshold at which more money ceases to contribute to your happiness 可知没有最大财富门槛，在该门槛上，更 多的钱不再为您的幸福做出贡献。指还没有一个临界点，在这个点上钱将不会使人开心。可推知如果有这 样一个让人满足的点，我们还没有达到。故划线单词意思为“满足”，故选A。 【45 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中 They argue that a country’s economic growth only makes its citizens happier if wealth is evenly distributed. In emerging countries with high income inequality——where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer——average happiness tends to drop because only relatively few people benefit from the economic prosperity.（他们认为，一个国家的经济增长只有在财富得到平均分配的情况下才会让国民更幸福。在收入 高度不平等的新兴国家——富人越来越富，穷人越来越穷——平均幸福感往往会下降，因为只有相对较少 的人能从经济繁荣中受益。）可知只有财富平均分配了人才会开心，即金钱分配不均是造成人们对金钱不快 乐的主要原因。故选 B。 【46 题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中 There is continuing debate about the link between wealth and happiness, with arguments both for and against the notion that richer countries are happier. However, it is clear that wealth alone isn’t enough to make us happy.（关于财富与幸福之间的联系，人们仍在争论不休，有人支持，有人反对富 裕国家更幸福的观点。然而，很明显，财富本身并不足以使我们幸福。）以及文章主要内容可知主要围绕着 经济与幸福相关的话题，所以短文的最佳标题是“幸福的经济学 ”。故选C。 SectionC Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. True intelligenceTaking charge of yourself involves putting to rest some very prevalent myths. At the top of the list is the notion that intelligence is measured by your ability to solve complex problems, to read, write and compute at certain levels, and to resolve abstract equations quickly. ______47______It encourages a kind of intellectual prejudice that has brought with it some discouraging results. We have come to believe that someone who has more educational merit badges, who is very good at some form of school discipline is "intelligent". Yet mental hospitals are filled with patients who have all of the properly lettered certificates. A truer indicator of intelligence is an effective, happy life lived each day and each present moment of every day. ___48___ Problem solving is a useful help to your happiness, but if you know that given your inability to resolve a particular concern you can still choose happiness for yourself, or at a minimum refuse to choose unhappiness, then you are intelligent. You are intelligent because you have the ultimate weapon against the big N. B.D. --Nervous Break Down. "Intelligent" people do not have N. B. D. because they are in charge of themselves. ___49___ You can begin to think of yourself as truly intelligent on the basis of how you choose to feel in the face of trying circumstances. The life struggles are pretty much the same for each of us. Everyone who is involved with other human beings in any social context has similar difficulties. Disagreements, conflicts and compromises are a part of what it means to be human. _____50_____But some people are able to make it, to avoid immobilizing depression and unhappiness despite such occurrences, while others collapse or have an N, B. D. Those who recognize problems as a human condition and don't measure happiness by an absence of problems are the most intelligent kind of humans we know; also, the most rare. A. Holding a university degree indicates one’s ability to write properly worded documents. B. If you are happy, if you live each moment for everything it’s worth, then you are an intelligent person. C. N.B.D refers to an illness that causes a person to suffer from anxiety and to have difficulty living and working as usual. D. Similarly, money, growing old, sickness, deaths, natural disasters and accidents are all events which present problems to virtually all human beings. E. They know how to choose happiness over depression, because they know how to deal with the problems of their lives. F. This vision of intelligence asserts formal education and bookish excellence as the true measures of self-fulfillment. 【答案】47. F 48. B 49. E 50.

B. D. because they are in charge of themselves.（“聪明”的人不会 精神崩溃，因为他们能控制自己。）中 intelligent people 可对应到 E 选项中的 They,且说明其中的原因是：他 们知道如何选择快乐而不是沮丧，因为他们知道如何处理生活中的问题。故选 E。 【50 题详解】 根据上文 Disagreements, conflicts and compromises are a part of what it means to be human. （分歧、冲突和妥协 是人性的一部分。）中 disagreements, conflicts and compromises 与 D 选项中的 money, growing old, sickness, deaths, natural disasters and accidents 形成呼应，且表示“同样地，金钱、变老、疾病、死亡、自然灾害和意 外事故几乎都是给所有人带来问题的事件。”符合上下文语境。故选 D。 Ⅳ. Summary writing 51.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Blowing a Few Tops Ever stopped to consider the upside of volcanic eruptions? It’s not all death, destruction and hot liquid rock—scientists have a plan to cool the planet by simulating one such eruption. Solar geoengineering involves simulating a volcano by spraying aerosols(气溶胶) into the atmosphere. When they combine with oxygen, droplets of sulfuric acid (硫酸) form. These droplets reflect sunlight away from Earth, cooling the planet. All good in theory, but the consequences are largely unknown and a few could be disastrous. In a study recently published in Nature Communications, researchers led by Anthony Jones, a climate scientist from the University of Exeter, found that using this technology in the Northern Hemisphere could reduce the number of tropical winds hitting the U.S. and Caribbean. But there's an annoying exchange: more winds in the Southern Hemisphere and a drought across the Sahel region of Africa. That’s because the entire climate system is linked—disrupting one region will invariably affect another. How would a nation react if another was causing its weather to get much worse? Would that be an act of war? There is, however, a case for using solar geoengineering on a global scale. Jones says it could be used to “take the edge off” the temperature increases scientists are predicting. It could be used while the world searches for more effective strategies. The study also highlights a far bigger problem with solar geoengineering: its complete lack of regulation. “There’s nothing that could stop one country just doing it,” Jones says. “You only need about 100 aircraft with three flights per day. It would cost $1 billion to $10 billion per year.” He adds, “It’s deeply disturbing that we have this technology that could have such a massive influence on the climate, yet there’s just no regulation to stop countries or even organizations from doing it.” Jones cautions that there is much about the climate system we do not understand, as well as far more work that will need to be done before solar geoengineering is considered safe—or too dangerous to even discuss. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The planet could be cooled by using solar geoengineering, if scientists simulate an erupting volcano. The method would probably work, but it could have devastating side-effects. The fact that there is no law to stop any country or company from using this technology worries scientists. The technology requires further study before being put into use. 【解析】 【分析】 这是一篇说明文。短文说明了如果科学家们模拟一个喷发的火山，地球可以通过太阳地球工程学来冷却。 这种方法可能会奏效，但可能会产生毁灭性的副作用。没有法律阻止任何国家或公司使用这项技术，这一事实让科学家们感到担忧。这项技术在投入使用前需要进一步研究。 【详解】第一步：阅读 1．认真阅读给定 原文材料，如果一遍不能理解，就多读两遍；阅读次数越多，你对原文的理解就越深刻。 2．划出那些能概括文章主题思想的单词、短语或短句子；决定原文中哪些部分重要，哪些部分次重要了； 对重要部分的主要观点进行概括。 3．简要地记下主要观点——主题、标题、细节等你认为对概括概要写作重要的东西。 第二步：写作步骤 1.浏览课文，找出主题：如果科学家们模拟一个喷发的火山，地球可以通过太阳地球工程学来冷却。这种方 法可能会奏效，但可能会产生毁灭性的副作用。没有法律阻止任何国家或公司使用这项技术，这一事实让 科学家们感到担忧。这项技术在投入使用前需要进一步研究。 2.分析文章的结构，把它分成几个部分，找出每个部分的主要思想，用你自己的文字简短地写出来。本文主 要分为三部分。第一部分：The planet could be cooled by using solar geoengineering, if scientists simulate an erupting volcano .第二部分：The method would probably work, but it could have devastating side-effects.第三部分： The fact that there is no law to stop any country or company from using this technology worries scientists.

It can save the money and the time for a country to deal with rubbish and it also can enhance the quality of people. Faced with the new rule, many citizens find it a little too complicated, with every item of waste now under careful examination and classification. Besides, some of them don’t want to waste their time on this. So they don’t do well in rubbish classification. In view of these circumstances, I think we should take some measures. Firstly, give people more patience and let them get familiar with the rules of rubbish classification. Secondly, more regulations should be made and carried out by authorities to oversee and enforce it .Thirdly, it is necessary to improve people's awareness of environmental protection, getting them into a habit. Only by doing these can we help people develop more environmentally friendly living habits and make China a more beautiful country. 【解析】 【分析】 本篇书面表达属于开放性作文。 【详解】第一步：根据提示可知，为保护环境，政府提倡垃圾分类，但许多小区的落实情况不尽人意，请 你写一封电子邮件向有关部门负责人反映这一现状，并提出合理建议。 第二步：根据写作要求确定关键词（组），如： rubbish classification, too complicated, waste time, take measures, get familiar with, regulations, people's awareness of environmental protection. 第三步：根据提示和关键词（组）进行遣词造句，注意主谓一致和时态问题。本文用一般现在时。 第四步：连句成文，注意使用恰当的连词进行句子之间的衔接和过渡，书写一定要规范清晰，保持整洁美 观的卷面是非常重要的。 【点睛】范文内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当。作者在范文中使用了较多高级表达方式，如 As is encouraged to protect the environment, 运用了定语从句；Faced with the new rule 运用了过去分词作状语；more regulations should be made and carried out by authorities to oversee and enforce it .运用了情态动词的被动形式； it is necessary to improve people's awareness of environmental protection, getting them into a habit.运用了 it 做形式 主语和现在分词作状语；Only by doing these can we help people develop more environmentally friendly living habits 运用了倒装句。全文中没有中国式英语的句式，显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外，文章思路清晰， 层次分明，上下句转换自然，为文章增色添彩。
