21. It is often the case ______anything is possible for those who hang on to hope.

A. why

B.what

C.as

D.that

解析:考査主语从句。本句中it是形式主语,真正的主语是连接词that做引导的主语从句,连接词that 在本句中不充当任何成分,只是一个引导词而已,不能省略。连接副词why要在句中做状语,连接代词what 通常在句中做主语、宾语或表语等;as通常不引导名词性从句。句意:对于那些心存希望的人一切皆可能是事实。故D正确。

答案:D


22. More efforts, as reported, ______in the years ahead to accelerate the supply-side structural reform.

A. are made

B. will be made

C. are being made

D.have been made

解析:考查时态语态。句意:正如报道的那样,在未来几年将做出的努力,以加速供给结构改革的速度。本句的时间状语“in the years ahead在未来的几年里”和将来时连用,且efforts与动词make构成被动关系,所以使用被动语态。所以要使用一般将来时的被动语态形式,故B正确。

答案:B


23. Many young people, most ______were well-educated, headed for remote regions to chase their dreams.

A. of which

B. of them

C. of whom

D. of those

解析:考査定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是Many young people,关系代词whom指代先行词,在定语从句中作为介词of的宾语。句意:很多年羟人都前往偏远地区追求它们的梦想,其中大部分人都是受过良好教肓。故C正确。

答案:C


24. — Can you tell us your for happiness and a long life?

— Living every day to the full, definitely.

A.recipe

B.record

C.range

D.receipt

解析:考查名词词义辨析。名词recipe秘诀,食谱,药方;record记录;range范围;receipt收据,收条;句意:—你能告诉我你对幸福长寿的秘密吗?—当然是尽情享受每一天。根据句意可知A项意为“秘诀”,与上下文相符。

答案:A


25. He did not easily, but was willing to accept any constructive advice for a worthy cause.

A. approach

B. wrestle

C. compromise

D. communicate

解析:考查动词辨析。动词approach靠近,接近;wrestle摔跤,斗争,努力解决;compromise妥协;和解;让步;communicate交流;句意:他并容易妥协,但是对于正义的事业,他愿意接受任何建设性的建议。根据句意可知C项正确。

答案:C


26. ______some people are motivated by a need for success, others are motivated by a fear of failure.

A.Because

B. If

C. Unless

D. While

解析:考査连词。连词because因为;if如果;unless除非,如果..不;while尽管;然而;当..时;句意:尽管一些人被成功的渴望驱使着,但是其他人却被失败的恐惧驱使着前进。根据句意可知上下文之间存在转折关系,所以使用“while尽管……”连接。故D项正确。

答案:D


27. If it for his invitation the other day, I should not be here now.

A. had not been

B. should not be

C. were not to be

D. should not have been

解析:考査虚拟语气。本句属于错综条件句的虚拟语气。if从句表示与过去事实相反,所以使用过去完 成时,主句表示与现在事实相反,所以使用“情态动词+动词原形”。句意:如果不是因为前几天他的邀请, 我现在就不会在这里了。故A正确。

答案:A


28. In art criticism, you must assume the artist has a secret message within the work.

A. to hide

B. hidden

C. hiding

D.being hidden

解析:考査分词做定语。本句中名词短语a secret message与动词hide构成被动关系,所以使用过去分词短语bidden within the work在句中做后置定语,修饰名词短语a secret message,相当于定语从句that is bidden with the workAC职表示主动含义,D项强调正在进行,与语境不符。故B正确。

答案:B


29. Dashan, who crosstalk, the Chinese comedic tradition, for decades, wants to mix it up

with the Western stand-up tradition.

A. will be learning

B. is learning

C. had been learning

D. has been learning

解析:考查时态。本句的时间状语是“for decades几十年来”,该时间状语通常和现在完成的有关时态连用,本句强调这几十年来大山一直努力把中国相声和西方的脱口秀相结合。所以使用现在完成进行时,强调动作的延续性和反复性。故D正确。

答案:D

C.turned off

D. arbitrary

解析:考査形容词词义辨析。形容词explicit明晰的,清楚的;ambiguous模棱两可的,含糊不清的; original原始的,最初的;arbitrary任意的,专制的;句意:对于如何以及在什么基础上收集数据,他的综合调査提供了最清晰的说明。故A正确。

答案:A


32. —Only those who have a lot in common can get along well.

— . Opposites sometimes do attract.

A. I hope not

B. I think so

C. I appreciate that

D. I beg to differ

解析:考查交际用语。I hope not我可不希望这样;I think so我认为如此;I appreciate that我很感激;I beg to differ恕我不能同意;本题的关键词是后句“Opposites sometimes do attract.”意见相反的人有时会相互吸引。说明对话两个人的意见并不一致。故D项“恕我不能同意”符合上下文。

答案:C

34. Not until recently ______the development of tourist-related activities in the rural areas.

C. did they encourage

D. they encouraged

Chimps(黑猩猩) will cooperate in certain ways, like gathering in war parties to protect their territory. But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings, they have little instinct (本能) to help one another. Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves. Even chimp mothers regularly decline to share food with their children. Who are able from a young age to gather their own food.

In the laboratory, chimps don’t naturally share food either. If a chimp is put in a cage where he can pull in one plate of food for himself or, with no great effort, a plate that also provides food for a neighbor to the next cage, he will pull at random ---he just doesn’t care whether his neighbor gets fed or not. Chimps are truly selfish.

Human children, on the other hand are extremely corporative. From the earliest ages, they decide to help others, to share information and to participate a achieving common goals. The psychologist Michael Tomasello has studied this cooperativeness in a series of expensive with very young children. He finds that if babies aged 18 months see an worried adult with hands full trying to open a door, almost all will immediately try to help.

There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help, inform and share are not taught .but naturally possessed in young children. One is that these instincts appear at a very young age before most parents have started to train children to behave socially. Another is that the helping behaviors are not improved if the children are rewarded. A third reason is that social intelligence. Develops in children before their general cognitive(认知的)skills,at least when compared with chimps..In tests conducted by Tomtasell, the children did no better than the chimps on the physical world tests, but were considerably better at understanding the social world

The cure of what children’s minds have and chimps’ don’t in what Tomasello calls what. Part of this ability is that they can infer what others know or are thinking. But that, even very young children want to be part of a shared purpose. They actively seek to be part of a “we”, a group that intends to work toward a shared goal.

58. What can we learn from the experiment with chimps?

A. Chimps seldom care about others’ interests.

B. Chimps tend to provide food for their children.

C. Chimps like to take in their neighbors’ food.

D. Chimps naturally share food with each other.

解析:推理判断题。根据文意第二段后两句 “if a chimp is put in a cage where he can pull in one plate of food for himself or,......he will pull at random --he just doesn't care whether his neighbor gets fed or not. Chimps are truly selfish”可知黑猩猩很自私,通常会把邻居的食物搞的一团糟。说明他们根本不关心其他人的利益。故A正确。

答案:A


59. Michael Tomasello’s tests on young children indicate that they____.

A. have the instinct to help others

B. know how to offer help to adults

C. know the world better than chimps

D. trust adults with their hands full

答案:A


60. The passage is mainly about ____.

A. the helping behaviors of young children

B. ways to train children’s shared intentionality

C. cooperation as a distinctive human nature

答案:C


C

El Nifio, a Spanish term for “the Christ child”, was named by South American fisherman who noticed that the global weather pattern, which happens every two to seven years, reduced the amount of fishes caught around Christmas. El Nifio sees warm water, collected over several years in the western Pacific, flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken, or sometimes the other way round.

The weather effects both good and bad, are felt in many places. Rich countries gain more from powerful Nifio, on balance, than they lose. A study found that a strong Nifio in 1997 helped American’s economy grow by 15 billion, partly because of better agricultural harvest, farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain. The total rise in agricultural in rich countries in growth than the fall in poor ones.

But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames. A multi-year drought (干旱in south-east Brazil is becoming worse. Though heavy rains brought about by El Nino may relieve the drought in California, they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters.

The most recent powerful Nino, in 1997-98, killed around 21,000 people and caused damage worth $36 billion around the globe. But such Ninos come with months of warning, and so much is known about how they happen that governments can prepare. According to the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), however, just 12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance, rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards. This is despite evidence that a dollar spent on risk-reduction saves at least two on reconstruction.

Simple improvements to infrastructure (基础设施)can reduce the spread of disease. Better sewers (下水道)make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of bad stomach. Stronger bridges mean villages are less likely to be left without food and medicine after floods. According to a paper in 2011 by Mr Hsiang and co-authors, civil conflict is related to El Nino’s harmful effects—and the poorer the country, the stronger the link. Though the relationship may not be causal, helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at least reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people. Since the poorest are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Nino, reducing their losses needs to be the priority.

61. What can we learn about El Nino in Paragraph 1?

A. It is named after a South American fisherman.

B. It takes place almost every year all over the world.

C. It forces fishermen to stop catching fish around Christmas.

D. It sees the changes of water flow direction in the ocean.

解析:细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句 El Nifio sees warm water, collected over several years in the western Pacific, flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken, or sometimes the other way round.可知厄尔尼诺现象见证了海洋中水流方向的变化。故D正确。

答案:D


62. What may El Ninos bring about to the countries affected?

A. Agricultural harvests in rich countries fall.

B. Droughts become more harmful than floods.

C. Rich countries’ gains are greater than their losses.

D. Poor countries suffer less from droughts economically.

解析:细节理解题。根据第二段第二句 Rich countries gain more from powerful Nifio, on balance, than they lose.

可知富有国家从厄尔尼诺现象中得到的好处要大于所得到的坏处。接着在第三句中列举了1997年的厄尔尼 诺给美国经济带来的好处。故C项正确。

答案:C


63. The data provided by ODI in Paragraph 4 suggest that_________.

A. more investment should go to risk reduction

B. governments of poor countries need more aid

C. victims of El Nino deserve more compensation

D. recovery and reconstruction should come first

解析:推理判断题。根据第四段第三句 According to the Overseas Development Institute (ODIX however, just 12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance, rather than recovery 3Ed rebuilding afterwards.根据ODI的观点,为应对厄尔尼诺政府应该做更多的投资预防厄尔尼诺现象的危害而不是在出现问题以后再进行重新补救和恢复。故A项正确。

答案:A


64. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A. To introduce El Nino and its origin.

B. To explain the consequences of El Nino.

C. To show ways of fighting against El Nino.

D. To urge people to prepare for El Nino.

解析:目的意图题。本文主要介绍了厄尔尼诺现象对地球的影响,并吉诉我们诺政府应该做更多的投资预防厄尔尼诺的危害而不是在出现问题以后再进行重新补救和恢复。再根据最后一句“Since the poorest are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Nino, reducing their losses needs to be the priority.” 合国政府要把减少损失放在优先的位罝。也就是说我们要事先做好准备。故D项正确。

答案:D

D

Not so long ago, most people didn’t know who Shelly Ann Francis Pryce was going to become. She was just an average high school athlete. There was every indication that she was just another American teenager without much of a future. However, one person wants to change this. Stephen Francis observed then eighteen-year-old Shelly Ann as a track meet and was convinced that he had seen the beginning of true greatness. Her time were not exactly impressive, but even so, he seemed there was something trying to get out, something the other coaches had overlooked when they had assessed her and found her lacking. He decided to offer Shelly Ann a place in his very strict training seasons. Their cooperation quickly produced results, and a few year later at Jamaica’s Olympic games in early 2008, Shelly Ann, who at that time only ranked number 70 in the world, beat Jamaica’s unchallenged queen of the sprint(短跑).

“Where did she come from?” asked an astonished sprinting world, before concluding that she must be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time to time, only to disappear again without signs. But Shelly Ann was to prove that she was anything but a one-hit wonder. At the Beijing Olympic she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently by becoming the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic gold. She did it again one year on at the World Championship in Briton, becoming world champion with a time of 10.73--- the fourth record ever.

Shelly-Ann is a little woman with a big smile. She has a mental toughness that did not come about by chance. Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything but smooth and effortless. She grew up in one of Jamaica’s toughest inner-city communities known as Waterhouse, where she lived in a one-room apartment, sleeping four in a bed with her mother and two brothers. Waterhouse, one of the poorest communities in Jamaica, is a really violent and overpopulated place. Several of Shelly-Ann's friends and family were caught up in the killings; one of her cousins was shot dead only a few streets away from where she lived. Sometimes her family didn’t have enough to eat. She ran at the school championships barefooted because she couldn’t afford shoes. Her mother Maxime, one of a family of fourteen, had been an athlete herself as a young girl but, like so many other girls in Waterhouse, had to stop after she had her first baby. Maxime’s early entry into the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in Waterhouse's roundabout of poverty. One of the first things Maxime used to do with Shelly-Ann was taking her to the track, and she was ready to sacrifice everything.

It didn't take long for Shelly-Ann to realize that sports could be her way out of Waterhouse. On a summer evening in Beijing in 2008, all those long, hard hours of work and commitment finally bore fruit. The barefoot kid who just a few years previously had been living in poverty, surrounded by criminals and violence, had written a new chapter in the history of sports.

But Shelly-Ann’s victory was far greater than that. The night she won Olympic gold in Beijing, the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighbouring streets stopped. The dark cloud above one of the world’s toughest criminal neighbourhoods simply disappeared for a few days. “ I have so much fire burning for my country,”Shelly said. She plans to start a foundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in Waterhouse. She hopes to inspire the Jamaicans to lay down their weapons. She intends to fight to make it a woman’s as well as a man’s world.

As Muhammad Ali puts it, “ Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them. A desire, a dream, a vision.” One of the things Shelly-Ann can be proud of is her understanding of this truth.

An Extension of the Human Brain

Other people can help us compensate for our mental and emotional deficiencies (欠缺)much as a wooden leg can compensate for a physical deficiency. To be exact, other people can extend our intelligence and help us understand and adjust our emotions. When another person helps us in such ways, he or she is participating in what I’ve called a “social prosthetic (义肢的)system.” Such systems do not need to operate face-to-face, and it’s clear to me that the Internet is expanding the range of my own social prosthetic systems. It’s already a big bank of many minds. Even in its current state, the Internet has extended my memory and judgment.

Regarding memory: Once I look up something on the Internet, I don’t need to keep all the details for future use—I know where to find that information again and can quickly and easily do so. More generally, the Internet functions as if it were my memory. This function of the Internet is particularly striking when I’m writing; I’m no longer comfortable writing if I’m not connected to the Internet. It’s become natural to check facts as I write, taking a minute or two to dip into PubMed, Wikipedia, or other websites.

Regarding judgment: The Internet has made me smarter in matters small and large. For example, when I’m writing a textbook, it has become second nature to check a dozen definitions of a key term, which helps me dig into the core and understand its meaning. But more than that, I now regularly compare my views with those of many others. If I have a “ new idea,” I now quickly look to see whether somebody else has already thought of it, or something similar—and I then compare what I think with what others have thought. This certainly makes my own views clearer. Moreover, I can find out whether my reactions to an event are reasonable enough by reading about those of others on the Internet.

These effects of the Internet have become even more striking since I’ve begun using a smartphone. I now regularly pull out my phone to check a fact, watch a video, read weibo. Such activities fill the spaces that used to be dead time (such as waiting for somebody to arrive for a lunch meeting).

But that’s the upside (好处).The downside is that in those dead periods I often would let my thoughts flow and sometimes would have an unexpected insight or idea. Those opportunities are now fewer and farther between.

71.

解析:原词再现。根据第一段第四句 Such systems do not need to operate face-to-face, and it's clear to me that the Internet is expanding the range of my own social prosthetic systems.可知因特网可以拓宽社会义肢系统

的范围,也就是说网络可以弥补我们精神和情感上的玦陷。

答案:Internet

72.

解析:同义句转换。根据第一段最后两句 It's already a big bank of many minds. Even in its currert state, the lnternet has extended my memory and judgment.可知网络已经成为思维的汇聚地,已经拓宽了

我们的记忆和判断。说明网络参与到我们的曰常生活的方方面面。所以动词短语“participate/join in”符合句意。

答案:participates/joins


73.

解析:词形转换。根据第二段第一句 “Once 1 look up something on the Internet I don’t need to keep all the details.....”可知网络让我们不需要记住很多东西,需要的时候只要从网络上捜索即可。动词短语“keep……in mind记住”,在表格中放在介词without的后面,要使用动名词keeping的形式。

答案:keeping


74.

解析:同义词转换。根据第三段第一句The Internet has made me smarter in matters small and large.可知网络让我们在大大小小的事情上更聪明。原文中“matters small and large”就是“all/different/various”的事情。

答案:all/different/various


75.

解析:同义句转换。根据第三段第二句“.....which helps me dig into the core and understand its meaning”可知网络能让我们找的事物的核心并理解其真正含义。故短语“the core/heart of the matter”和原文中“dig into the core”语义一致。

答案:heart/core


76.

解析:同义词转换。根据第三段第四句“If I have a “ new idea,” I now quickly look to see whether somebody else has already thought of it, or something similar—and I then compare what I think with what others have thought.”当我们有了新的观点以后,我们会上网检查核对别人是否已经有了同样的观点,并对自己的行动做出判断。表格中check与原文语义一致。

答案:check

77.

解析:归纳总结。根据第三段最后一句 “MoreoverI can find out whether my reactions to an event are

reasonable enough by reading about those of others on the internet.” 而且在网络上阅读其他人的信息,让我判断我的行为是否合理,所以表格里使用动词judge

答案:judge


78.

解析:归纳总结。在文意最后两段中既提到了智能手机的优点也提到了其缺点。所以这是智能手机 的正反两方面内容,所以使用形容词“mixed/two”

答案:mixed/two


79.

解析:同义句转换。根据第四段后两句 I now regularly pull out my phone to check a fact watch a video, read weibo. Such activities fill the spaces that used to be dead time {such as waiting for somebody to arrive for a lunch meeting).可知我们可以使用智能手机随时査信息,看视频,读微博,使用起来非常方便。所以使用形容词 “convenient ”

答案:convenient


80.

解析:句意转换。根据文章最后两句 “The downside is that in those dead periods I often would let my thoughts flow and sometimes would have an unexpected insight or idea. Those opportunities are now fewer and farther between”在过去那些“dead periods”时,我总会有一些灵光一现的神来之念,但是现在这些时间都

被智能手机占用了。无疑就减少了这些神来之念的可能性。所以表格中使用“reduce the possibility”

答案:reduce

答案:范文:

On-line voting becomes increasingly popular, and many competitions get people involved in it. It is beneficial to some people, while it puts others into a dilemma over whether to vote or not.

In my opinion, on-line voting is an inseparable part of modern life and should be welcomed, since it is no more than a way to participate in public life. It makes no difference from ordinary voting events, in which candidates go around to seek supports. In addition, the Internet makes surveying and voting easy and convenient, regardless of time and space. Furthermore, voting on the Internet makes instant feedback possible.

To be honest, voters sometimes feel annoyed, not because they hate voting, but because they are divided between emotion and fairness. Things will turn for the better if we can work out some participation rules for people to obey. Therefore, I hold a positive attitude towards on- line voting.


Possible version two:

Internet voting is quite popular nowadays. Many people are somewhat puzzled at the negative side of the voting, although some are quite happy with it, and active in doing it.

In my opinion, internet voting has begun to show its negative impacts on people and society. Firstly, people may feel forced when asked to do things that they don’t want to. Secondly, voting of this kind does not depend on the strong points of the competitors, but rather on how many social-networking resources they have. Thirdly, the voters or even the competitors in many cases are possibly taken advantage of by the organizers for commercial purposes.

In short, internet voting, to some extent, is unfair, if not immoral, and cannot be trusted. Therefore, rules should be worked out and strictly observed. Everyone in our society should help those in need, but it is more important to be sincere and earnest.
