Passage 1
【2023年全国乙卷】If yu want t tell the histry f the whle wrld, a histry that des nt privilege ne part f humanity, yu cannt d it thrugh texts alne, because nly sme f the wrld has ever had texts, while mst f the wrld, fr mst f the time, has nt. Writing is ne f humanity’s later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) scieties recrded their cncerns nt nly in writing but in things.
Ideally a histry wuld bring tgether texts and bjects, and sme chapters f this bk are able t d just that, but in many cases we simply can’t. The clearest example f this between literate and nn-literate histry is perhaps the first cnflict, at Btany Bay, between Captain Ck’s vyage and the Australian Abriginals. Frm the English side, we have scientific reprts and the captain’s recrd f that terrible day. Frm the Australian side, we have nly a wden shield (盾) drpped by a man in flight after his first experience f gunsht. If we want t recnstruct what was actually ging n that day, the shield must be questined and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reprts.
In additin t the prblem f miscmprehensin frm bth sides, there are victries accidentally r deliberately twisted, especially when nly the victrs knw hw t write. Thse wh are n the lsing side ften have nly their things t tell their stries. The Caribbean Tain, the Australian Abriginals, the African peple f Benin and the Incas, all f whm appear in this bk, can speak t us nw f their past achievements mst pwerfully thrugh the bjects they made: a histry tld thrugh things gives them back a vice. When we cnsider cntact (联系) between literate and nn-literate scieties such as these, all ur first-hand accunts are necessarily twisted, nly ne half f a dialgue. If we are t find the ther half f that cnversatin, we have t read nt just the texts, but the bjects.
12. What is the first paragraph mainly abut?
A. Hw past events shuld be presented.B. What humanity is cncerned abut.
C. Whether facts speak luder than wrds.D. Why written language is reliable.
13. What des the authr indicate by mentining Captain Ck in paragraph 2?
A. His reprt was scientific.B. He represented the lcal peple.
C. He ruled ver Btany Bay.D. His recrd was ne-sided.
14. What des the underlined wrd “cnversatin” in paragraph 3 refer t?
A. Prblem.B. Histry.C. Vice.D. Sciety.
15. Which f the fllwing bks is the text mst likely selected frm?

【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。本文讨论了仅仅依靠书面文本来讲述世界历史的局限性，并强调了将物品纳入历史叙事以更好地理解无文字社会的重要性。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“If yu want t tell the histry f the whle wrld, a histry that des nt privilege ne part f humanity, yu cannt d it thrugh texts alne, because nly sme f the wrld has ever had texts, while mst f the wrld, fr mst f the time, has nt. Writing is ne f humanity’s later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) scieties recrded their cncerns nt nly in writing but in things. (如果你想讲述整个世界的历史，一段不以人类某一部分为特权的历史，你不能仅仅通过文本来讲述，因为世界上只有一部分人曾经有过文本，而世界上大多数人，在大多数时间里，都没有。写作是人类较晚的成就之一，直到最近，甚至许多有文字的社会也不仅用文字，而且用物件来记录他们所关心的事情。)”可推知，第一段主要讲述的是历史应该如何呈现给我们。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段首句“Ideally a histry wuld bring tgether texts and bjects, and sme chapters f this bk are able t d just that, but in many cases we simply can’t. (理想情况下，历史应该将文本和物品结合在一起，本书的某些章节能够做到这一点，但在许多情况下，我们根本做不到。)”可推断，作者认为历史应该是文本和物品相结合的产物，但是很多情况下，我们做不到。再根据所举例子的下文“Frm the English side, we have scientific reprts and the captain’s recrd f that terrible day. Frm the Australian side, we have nly a wden shield (盾) drpped by a man in flight after his first experience f gunsht. (在英国方面，我们有科学报告和船长对那可怕的一天的记录。从澳大利亚方面来看，我们只有一个木制盾牌，这是一名男子在第一次经历枪击后在飞行中扔下的。)”可知，作者举这个例子是为了说明船长的记录是片面的，只从自己的角度描述了问题。故选D。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“The Caribbean Tain, the Australian Abriginals, the African peple f Benin and the Incas, all f whm appear in this bk, can speak t us nw f their past achievements mst pwerfully thrugh the bjects they made: a histry tld thrugh things gives them back a vice. When we cnsider cntact (联系) between literate and nn-literate scieties such as these, all ur first-hand accunts are necessarily twisted, nly ne half f a dialgue. (加勒比海的泰诺人、澳大利亚的土著人、贝宁的非洲人以及印加人，所有这些人都出现在这本书中，他们现在都可以通过他们制造的物品向我们讲述他们过去最强大的成就：通过物品讲述的历史给了他们一个声音。当我们考虑诸如此类的有文化社会和无文化社会之间的接触时，我们所有的第一手资料都必然是扭曲的，只有对话的一半。)”结合划线句“If we are t find the ther half f that cnversatin, we have t read nt just the texts, but the bjects. (如果我们要找到对话的另一半，我们不仅要读文本，还要读物体。)”可知，我们对过去历史的了解，只是书写历史的人所想要让我们了解的历史，如果我们想要了解历史的另一半，我们不仅仅要读文本也要读对象。所以cnversatin指的是“历史”。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“If yu want t tell the histry f the whle wrld, a histry that des nt privilege ne part f humanity, yu cannt d it thrugh texts alne, because nly sme f the wrld has ever had texts, while mst f the wrld, fr mst f the time, has nt.(如果你想讲述整个世界的历史，一段不以人类某一部分为特权的历史，你不能仅仅通过文本来讲述，因为世界上只有一部分人的历史曾经被文字记录过，而世界上大多数人，在大多数时间里，都没有。)”结合最后一段的“ If we are t find the ther half f that cnversatin, we have t read nt just the texts, but the bjects. (如果我们要找到对话的另一半，我们不仅要读文本，还要读物体。)”可知，本文讲述仅仅依靠书面文本来讲述世界历史有局限性，想要更好的了解历史就要将文本和物品结合在一起。从而推断文章最有可能选自《100件物品中的世界史》。故选C。

Passage1
【2022年全国甲卷】Smetime in the early 1960s, a significant thing happened in Sydney, Australia. The city discvered its harbr. Then, ne after anther, Sydney discvered lts f things that were just srt f there — brad parks, superb beaches, and a culturally diverse ppulatin. But it is the harbr that makes the city.
Andrew Reynlds, a cheerful fellw in his early 30s, pilts Sydney ferrybats fr a living. I spent the whle mrning shuttling back and frth acrss the harbr. After ur third run Andrew shut dwn the engine, and we went ur separate ways — he fr a lunch break, I t explre the city.
“I’ll miss these ld bats,” he said as we parted.
“Hw d yu mean?” I asked.
“Oh, they’re replacing them with catamarans. Catamarans are faster, but they’re nt s elegant, and they’re nt fun t pilt. But that’s prgress, I guess.”
Everywhere in Sydney these days, change and prgress are the watchwrds (口号), and traditins are increasingly rare. Shirley Fitzgerald, the city’s fficial histrian, tld me that in its rush t mdernity in the 1970s, Sydney swept aside much f its past, including many f its finest buildings. “Sydney is cnfused abut itself,” she said. “We can’t seem t make up ur minds whether we want a mdern city r a traditinal ne. It’s a cnflict that we aren’t getting any better at reslving (解决).”
On the ther hand, being yung and ld at the same time has its attractins. I cnsidered this when I met a thughtful yung businessman named Anthny. “Many peple say that we lack culture in this cuntry,” he tld me. “What peple frget is that the Italians, when they came t Australia, brught 2000 years f their culture, the Greeks sme 3000 years, and the Chinese mre still. We’ve gt a fundatin built n ancient cultures but with a drive and dynamism f a yung cuntry. It’s a pretty hard cmbinatin t beat.”
He is right, but I can’t help wishing they wuld keep thse ld ferries.
12. What is the first paragraph mainly abut?
A. Sydney’s striking architecture.B. The cultural diversity f Sydney.
C. The key t Sydney’s develpment.D. Sydney’s turist attractins in the 1960s.
13. What can we learn abut Andrew Reynlds?
A. He ges t wrk by bat.B. He lks frward t a new life.
C. He pilts catamarans well.D. He is attached t the ld ferries.
14. What des Shirley Fitzgerald think f Sydney?
A. It is lsing its traditins.B. It shuld speed up its prgress.
C. It shuld expand its ppulatin.D. It is becming mre internatinal.
15. Which statement will the authr prbably agree with?
A. A city can be yung and ld at the same time.
B. A city built n ancient cultures is mre dynamic.
C. mdernity is usually achieved at the cst f elegance.
D. Cmprmise shuld be made between the lcal and the freign.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过作者和悉尼人士的交流介绍了悉尼发展中面临的问题。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Smetime in the early 1960s, a significant thing happened in Sydney, Australia. The city discvered its harbr. (20世纪60年代初，澳大利亚悉尼发生了一件大事。这座城市发现了它的港口) ”以及“But it is the harbr that makes the city. (但是是港口造就了城市)”可知，本段主要介绍了悉尼发展的关键是港口。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Andrew Reynlds, a cheerful fellw in his early 30s, pilt Sydney ferrybats fr a living. (30岁出头的Andrew Reynlds是个快乐的小伙子，他在悉尼担任渡轮领航员为生)”、第三段“I’ll miss these ld bats. (我会想念这些旧船的)”以及第五段“Catamarans are faster, but they’re nt s elegant, and they’re nt fun t pilt. (双体船更快，但它们不那么优雅，驾驶起来也不有趣)”可知，渡轮领航员Andrew Reynlds喜欢老式渡船。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Shirley Fitzgerald, the city’s fficial histrian, tld me that in its rush t mdernity in the 1970s, Sydney swept aside much f its past, including many f its finest buildings. (悉尼的官方历史学家Shirley Fitzgerald告诉我，在20世纪70年代奔向现代化的过程中，悉尼把很多它的过去都抛在了一边，包括许多最漂亮的建筑)”可推知，Shirley Fitzgerald认为悉尼匆忙奔向现代化，正在失去它的传统。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“On the ther hand, being yung and ld at the same time has its attractins. I cnsidered this when I met a thughtful yung businessman named Anthny. (另一方面，同时既年轻又古老也有它的魅力。当我遇到一位深思熟虑的年轻商人Anthny时，我考虑到了这一点)”以及最后一段“He is right (他说得没错)”可推知，作者赞同Anthny的观点，认为一座城市可以同时既年轻又古老。故选A项。
Passage2
【2022年北京卷】Quantum ( 量子 ) cmputers have been n my mind a lt lately. A friend has been sending me articles n hw quantum cmputers might help slve sme f the biggest challenges we face as humans. I’ve als had exchanges with tw quantum-cmputing experts. One is cmputer scientist Chris Jhnsn wh I see as smene wh helps keep the field hnest. The ther is physicist Philip Taylr.
Fr decades, quantum cmputing has been little mre than a labratry curisity. Nw, big tech cmpanies have invested in quantum cmputing, as have many smaller nes. Accrding t Business Weekly, quantum machines culd help us “cure cancer, and even take steps t turn climate change in the ppsite directin.” This is the srt f hype ( 炒作 ) that annys Jhnsn. He wrries that researchers are making prmises they can’t keep. “What’s new,” Jhnsn wrte, “is that millins f dllars are nw ptentially available t quantum cmputing researchers.”
As quantum cmputing attracts mre attentin and funding, researchers may mislead investrs, jurnalists, the public and, wrst f all, themselves abut their wrk’s ptential. If researchers can’t keep their prmises, excitement might give way t dubt, disappintment and anger, Jhnsn warns. Lts f ther technlgies have gne thrugh stages f excitement. But smething abut quantum cmputing makes it especially prne t hype, Jhnsn suggests, perhaps because “‘quantum’ stands fr smething cl yu shuldn’t be able t understand.” And that brings me back t Taylr, wh suggested that I read his bk Q fr Quantum.
After I read the bk, Taylr patiently answered my questins abut it. He als answered my questins abut PyQuantum, the firm he c-funded in 2016. Taylr shares Jhnsn’s cncerns abut hype, but he says thse cncerns d nt apply t PyQuantum.
The cmpany, he says, is clser than any ther firm “by a very large margin ( 幅度 )” t building a “useful” quantum cmputer, ne that “slves an impactful prblem that we wuld nt have been able t slve therwise.” He adds, “Peple will naturally discunt my pinins, but I have spent a lt f time quantitatively cmparing what we are ding with thers.”
Culd PyQuantum really be leading all the cmpetitin “by a wide margin”, as Taylr claims? I dn’t knw. I’m certainly nt ging t advise my friend r anyne else t invest in quantum cmputers. But I trust Taylr, just as I trust Jhnsn.
31. Regarding Jhnsn’s cncerns, the authr feels ________.
A. sympatheticB. uncncernedC. dubtfulD. excited
32. What leads t Taylr’s ptimism abut quantum cmputing?
A. His dminance in physics.B. The cmpetitin in the field.
C. His cnfidence in PyQuantum.D. The investment f tech cmpanies.
33. What des the underlined wrd “prne” in Paragraph 3 mst prbably mean?
A. Open.B. Cl.C. Useful.D. Resistant.
34. Which wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. Is Jhnsn Mre Cmpetent Than Taylr?
B. Is Quantum Cmputing Redefining Technlgy?
C. Will Quantum Cmputers Ever Cme int Being?
D. Will Quantum Cmputing Ever Live Up t Its Hype?
【答案】31 A 32. C 33. A 34. D
【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要论述了“量子计算真的会像它的宣传那样成功吗？”，计算机科学家克里斯·约翰逊和物理学家菲利普·泰勒分别阐明了自己的观点。
31.【解析】
推理判断题。根据第三自然段“As quantum cmputing attracts mre attentin and funding, researchers may mislead investrs, jurnalists, the public and, wrst f all, themselves abut their wrk’s ptential. If researchers can’t keep their prmises, excitement might give way t dubt, disappintment and anger, Jhnsn warns. （随着量子计算吸引了更多的关注和资金，研究人员可能会误导投资者、记者、公众，最糟糕的是，他们自己的工作潜力。约翰逊警告说，如果研究人员不能兑现承诺，兴奋可能会让位于怀疑、失望和愤怒）”根据最后一段“ But I trust Taylr, just as I trust Jhnsn.”（但我相信泰勒，就像我相信约翰逊一样）可知，关于约翰逊的担忧，作者是支持的。A. sympathetic同情的，赞同的；B. uncncerned不关心的；C. dubtful怀疑的；D. excited激动的。故选A。
32.【解析】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The cmpany, he says, is clser than any ther firm “by a very large margin ( 幅度 )” t building a “useful” quantum cmputer, ne that “slves an impactful prblem that we wuld nt have been able t slve therwise.” He adds, “Peple will naturally discunt my pinins, but I have spent a lt f time quantitatively cmparing what we are ding with thers.”（ 他说，这家公司比其他任何公司都“在很大程度上”接近于制造出“有用的”量子计算机，它“解决了一个有影响力的问题，否则我们无法解决这个问题”。他补充说:“人们自然会不相信我的观点，但我已经花了很多时间来定量地比较我们与他人的做法）”可知，泰勒对量子计算的乐观来源于他对PyQuantum的信心。故选C。
33.【解析】
词义猜测题。根据第三自然段“But smething abut quantum cmputing makes it especially prne t hype, Jhnsn suggests, perhaps because “‘quantum’ stands fr smething cl yu shuldn’t be able t understand.”（ 但约翰逊表明，量子计算的某些方面使得它特别 prne被炒作，可能是因为“量子”代表了一些你不应该理解的酷东西。”）”可知，本句中含有一个原因状语从句，因为““量子”代表了一些你不应该理解的酷东西”，所以它特别容易被炒作。故prne意为“易于……的”。A. Open.开放的；易受损害的；B. Cl. 酷的；C. Useful. 有用的；D. Resistant. 有抵抗力的。故选A。
34.【解析】
主旨大意题。根据第二自然段“Nw, big tech cmpanies have invested in quantum cmputing, as have many smaller nes. Accrding t Business Weekly, quantum machines culd help us “cure cancer, and even take steps t turn climate change in the ppsite directin. This is the srt f hype ( 炒作 ) that annys Jhnsn.”（ 现在，大型科技公司和许多小型公司都在量子计算领域进行了投资。据《商业周刊》报道，量子机器可以帮助我们“治愈癌症，甚至采取措施将气候变化转向相反的方向。这种炒作让约翰逊感到恼火。”）”以及最后一段“Culd PyQuantum really be leading all the cmpetitin “by a wide margin”, as Taylr claims? I dn’t knw. I’m certainly nt ging t advise my friend r anyne else t invest in quantum cmputers.（PyQuantum真的能像泰勒所说的那样“以巨大的优势”领先所有竞争对手吗？我不知道。我当然不会建议我的朋友或其他人投资量子计算机。但我信任泰勒，就像我信任约翰逊一样。）”可知，本文主要论述了“量子计算真的会像它的宣传那样成功吗？”，计算机科学家克里斯·约翰逊和物理学家菲利普·泰勒分别阐明了自己的观点。所以短文的最佳标题为“量子计算真的会像它的宣传那样成功吗？”。故选D。
Passage3
【2022年天津卷第二次】Ralph Emersn nce said that the purpse f life is nt t be happy, but t be useful, t be lving, t make sme difference in he wrld. While we appreciate such wrds f wisdm, we rarely try t fllw them in ur lives.
Mst peple prefer t live a gd life themselves, ignring their respnsibilities fr the wrld. This narrw perceptin f a gd life may prvide shrt-term benefits, but is sure t lead t lng-term harm and suffering. A gd life based n cmfrt and luxury may eventually lead t mre pain be-cause we spil ur health and even ur character, principles, ideals, and relatinships.
What then, is the secret f a gd life? A gd life is a prcess, nt a state f being : a directin, nt a destinatin. We have t earn a gd life by first serving thers withut any expectatin in return because their happiness is the very surce f ur wn happiness. Mre imprtantly, we must knw urselves inside ut. Only when we examine urselves deeply can we discver ur abilities and recgnize ur limitatins, and then wrk accrdingly t create a better wrld.
The first requirement fr a gd life is having a lving heart. When we d certain right things merely as a duty, we find ur jb s tiresme that we’ll sn burn ut. Hwever, when we d that same jb ut f lve, we nt nly enjy what we d, but als d it with an effrtless feeling.
Hwever, lve alne is insufficient t lead a gd life. Lve smetimes blinds us t the reality. Cnsequently, ur gd intentins may nt lead t gd results. T achieve desired utcme, thse wh want t d gd t thers als need t equip themselves with accurate wrld knwledge. False knwledge is mre dangerus than ignrance. If lve is the engine f a car knwledge is the steering wheel(方向盘). If the engine lacks pwer, th car can’t mve; if the driver lses cntrl f the steering, a rad accident prbably ccurs. Only with lve in heart and the right knwledge in mind can we lead a gd life.
With lve and knwledge, we g all ut t create a better wrld by ding gd t thers. When we see the impact f ur gd wrk n the wrld we give meaning t ur life and earn lasting jy and happiness.
51. What effect des the narrw perceptin f a gd life have n us?
A. Making us simple-mindedB. Making us shrt-signted.
C. Leading us nt a busy rad.D. Keeping us frm cmfrt and luxury.

【答案】51 B 52. D 53. C 54. A 55. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了美好生活的秘诀是什么。人生的目的不是生而快乐，而是生而有益。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“This narrw perceptin f a gd life may prvide shrt-term benefits, but is sure t lead t lng-term harm and suffering.(这种对美好生活的狭隘看法可能会带来短期的好处，但肯定会导致长期的伤害和痛苦。)”可知，对美好生活的狭隘看法只能给我们带来短期的好处，所以时间长了会让我们目光短浅、短视。故选B项。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“We have t earn a gd life by first serving thers withut any expectatin in return because their happiness is the very surce f ur wn happiness.(我们必须先为他人服务而不求回报，因为他人的幸福是我们自己幸福的源泉。)”可知，我们能够从帮助他人获得真正的幸福。故选D项。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Hwever, when we d that same jb ut f lve, we nt nly enjy what we d, but als d it with an effrtless feeling.(然而，当我们出于热爱做同样的工作时，我们不仅享受我们做的事情，而且也享受那种毫不费力的感觉。)”可知，带着热爱去做事会让人更加享受做这件事情；越享受做某件事，做事越有动力。故选C项。
【54题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“False knwledge is mre dangerus than ignrance.(虚假的知识比无知更危险。)”可以推测出，当我们对世界有错误的认识的时候，就算意图良好，也可能导致不好的、违背预期的结局。故选A项。
【55题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“With lve and knwledge, we g all ut t create a better wrld by ding gd t thers.(带着爱和知识，我们全力以赴，通过对他人做好事来创造一个更美好的世界。)”可知，有爱和知识，生活就会变得更美好。故选A项。

Passage1
【2021年全国甲卷】Wh is a genius? This questin has greatly interested humankind fr centuries.
Let's state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almst the internatinal symbl fr genius. But we want t g beynd ne man and explre the nature f genius itself. Why is it that sme peple are s much mre intelligent r creative than the rest f us? And wh are they?
In the sciences and arts, thse praised as geniuses were mst ften white men, f Eurpean rigin. Perhaps this is nt a surprise. It's said that histry is written by the victrs, and thse victrs set the standards fr admissin t the genius club. When cntributins were made by geniuses utside the club—wmen, r peple f a different clr r belief—they were unacknwledged and rejected by thers.
A study recently published by Science fund that as yung as age six, girls are less likely than bys t say that members f their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even wrse, the study fund that girls act n that belief: Arund age six they start t avid activities said t be fr children wh are “really, really smart.” Can ur planet affrd t have any great thinkers becme discuraged and give up? It desn't take a genius t knw the answer: abslutely nt.
Here's the gd news. In a wired wrld with cnstant glbal cmmunicatin, we're all psitined t see flashes f genius wherever they appear. And the mre we lk, the mre we will see that scial factrs(因素)like gender, race, and class d nt determine the appearance f genius. As a writer says, future geniuses cme frm thse with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple gd frtune, wh are able t change the wrld.”
12. What des the authr think f victrs' standards fr jining the genius club?
A. They're unfair.B. They're cnservative.
C. They're bjective.D. They're strict.
13. What can we infer abut girls frm the study in Science?
A. They think themselves smart.
B. They lk up t great thinkers.
C. They see gender differences earlier than bys.
D. They are likely t be influenced by scial beliefs
14. Why are mre geniuses knwn t the public?
A. Imprved glbal cmmunicatin.
B. Less discriminatin against wmen.
C. Acceptance f victrs' cncepts.
D. Changes in peple's scial psitins.
15. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Geniuses Think AlikeB. Genius Takes Many Frms
C. Genius and IntelligenceD. Genius and Luck
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章由问题“谁是天才？”引入，论述了世人对天才的狭隘定义，提出事实上“天才”有很多种形式，不要让思维限制了我们的“天才”能力。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“It is said that histry is written by victrs, and thse victrs set the standards fr admissin t the genius club. When cntributins were made by geniuses utside the club-wmen, r peple f a different clr r belief-they were unacknwledged and rejected by thers.( 据说历史是由胜利者书写的，而那些胜利者为进入天才俱乐部设定了标准。当俱乐部以外的天才——女性或不同肤色或信仰的人——做出贡献时，他们不会被承认并且被其他人拒绝)”可推知，作者认为那些“胜利者”对进入“天才俱乐部”设置的标准是不公平的，因为女性或者不同肤色或信仰的人做出的成就是得不到承认的。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“Even wrse, the study fund that girls act n that belief. Arund age six they start t avid activities said t be fr children wh are “really, really smart.”(更糟糕的是，研究发现女孩们是按照这个信念行事的。六岁左右，她们开始避免那些据说是“非常非常聪明”的孩子参加的活动)”可推知，女孩容易受到社会信仰的影响，认为自己在六岁左右就不适合做“聪明孩子”做的事情。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“In a wired wrld with cnstant glbal cmmunicatin, we’re all psitined t see flashes f genius wherever they appear.( 在一个全球通讯不断的有线世界里，我们随时随地都能看到天才的闪现)”可知，进步的全球通讯让更多的天才被公众所知道。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，结合文章第一段提出问题“Wh is a genius?（谁是天才）”和最后一段的“As a writer says, future geniuses cme frm thse with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance, and simple geniuses, wh are able t change the wrld.”(正如一位作家所说，未来的天才来自那些具有“智慧、创造力、毅力和那些能够改变世界的简单天才。”)”可知，天才不一定是那些有巨大贡献的人，他们也可以是某一方面比较突出的普通人。由此可知B项“天才有多种形式”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选B。

【2021年全国乙卷】When almst everyne has a mbile phne, why are mre than half f Australian hmes still paying fr a landline（座机）?
These days yu’d be hard pressed t find anyne in Australia ver the age f 15 wh desn’t wn a mbile phne. In fact plenty f yunger kids have ne in their pcket. Practically everyne can make and receive calls anywhere, anytime.
Still, 55 percent f Australians have a landline phne at hme and nly just ver a quarter （29%） rely nly n their smartphnes accrding t a survey （调查）. Of thse Australians wh still have a landline, a third cncede that it’s nt really necessary and they’re keeping it as a security blanket — 19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case f emergencies. I think my hme falls int that categry.
Mre than half f Australian hmes are still chsing t stick with their hme phne. Age is naturally a factr（因素）— nly 58 percent f Generatin Ys still use landlines nw and then, cmpared t 84 percent f Baby Bmers wh’ve perhaps had the same hme number fr 50 years. Age isn’t the nly factr; I’d say it’s als t d with the makeup f yur husehld.
Generatin Xers with yung families, like my wife and I, can still find it cnvenient t have a hme phne rather than prviding a mbile phne fr every family member. That said, t be hnest the nly peple wh ever ring ur hme phne are ur Baby Bmers parents, t the pint where we play a game and guess wh is calling befre we pick up the phne（using Caller ID wuld take the fun ut f it）.
Hw attached are yu t yur landline? Hw lng until they g the way f gas street lamps and mrning milk deliveries?
24. What des paragraph 2 mainly tell us abut mbile phnes?
A. Their target users.B. Their wide ppularity.
C. Their majr functins.D. Their cmplex design.
25. What des the underlined wrd “cncede” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Admit.B. Argue.
C. Remember.D. Remark.
26. What can we say abut Baby Bmers?
A. They like smartphne games.B. They enjy guessing callers’ identity.
C. They keep using landline phnes.D. They are attached t their family.
27. What can be inferred abut the landline frm the last paragraph?
A. It remains a family necessity.
B. It will fall ut f use sme day.
C. It may increase daily expenses.
D. It is as imprtant as the gas light.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了澳大利亚使用固定电话的情况，并且表达了固定电话是非必需品的观点。
【24题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“These days yu'd be hard pressed t find anyne in Australia ver the age f 15 wh desn't wn a mbile phne. In fact plenty f yunger kids have ne in their pcket. Practically everyne can make and receive calls anywhere, anytime. (现在你很难在澳大利亚找到15岁以上的没有手机的人。事实上，很多年幼的孩子口袋里都有手机。几乎每个人都可以随时随地拨打和接听电话)”可推知，本段主要说明手机在澳大利亚广受欢迎。故选B项。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词的上文“Of thse Australians wh still have a landline (在那些仍然有固定电话的澳大利亚人中)”可知，这个调查的目标人群是仍然有固定电话的澳大利亚人；根据下文“it's nt really necessary and they're keeping it as a security blanket — 19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case f emergencies (固定电话并不是必须的，他们将其作为一种安全保障——19%的人表示他们从未使用过固定电话，另有13%的人保留固定电话以防紧急情况)”可知，很多人认为固定电话并不是必须拥有的，有些人保留固定电话只是为了防止紧急情况。从而推知，在调查中，他们应该是承认了固定电话的非必要性。由此推知，划线单词“cncede”意为“承认”。故选A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“84 percent f Baby Bmers wh've perhaps had the same hme number fr 50 years.(婴儿潮时代中有84%的人可能已经有50年相同的家庭号码了)”以及文章第五段“That said, t be hnest the nly peple wh ever ring ur hme phne are ur Baby Bmers parents (也就是说，老实说，唯一打过我们家电话的人是婴儿潮一代的父母)”可推知，婴儿潮时代的人一直用固定电话。故选C项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Hw attached are yu t yur landline? Hw lng until they g the way f gas street lamps and mrning milk deliveries? (你有多喜欢你的座机？它们还要多久才能走上煤气路灯和早晨送牛奶的道路？)”可推知，本段使用类比的方式，使用煤气路灯以及早晨送牛奶已经被淘汰的例子，侧面说明了固定电话总有一天会废弃的。故选B项。
Passage3
【2021年北京卷】Early fifth-century philspher St．Augustine famusly wrte that he knew what time was unless smene asked him．Albert Einstein added anther wrinkle when he therized that time varies depending n where yu measure it．Tday's state-f-the-art atmic（原子的） clcks have prven Einstein right．Even advanced physics can't decisively tell us what time is, because the answer depends n the questin yu're asking．
Frget abut time as an abslute．What if，instead f cnsidering time in terms f astrnmy,we related time t eclgy？What if we allwed envirnmental cnditins t set the temp（节奏） f human life？We're increasingly aware f the fact that we can't cntrl Earth systems with engineering alne，and realizing that we need t mderate（调节）ur actins if we hpe t live in balance．What if ur definitin f time reflected that？
Recently，I cnceptualized a new apprach t timekeeping that's cnnected t circumstances n ur planet，cnditins that might change as a result f glbal warming．We're nw building a clck at the Anchrage Museum that reflects the ttal flw f several majr Alaskan rivers，which are sensitive t lcal and glbal envirnmental changes．We've prgrammed it t match an atmic clck if the waterways cntinue t flw at their present rate．If the rivers run faster in the future n average，the clck will get ahead f standard time．If they run slwer，yu'll see the ppsite effect．
The clck registers bth shrt-term irregularities and lng-term trends in river dynamics．It's a srt f bservatry that reveals hw the rivers are behaving frm their wn tempral frame（时间框架），and allws us t witness thse changes n ur smartwatches r phnes．Anyne wh pts t g n Alaska Mean River Time will live in harmny with the planet．Anyne wh cnsiders river time in relatin t atmic time will encunter a majr imbalance and may be mtivated t cunteract it by cnsuming less fuel r supprting greener plicies．
Even if this methd f timekeeping is nvel in its particulars，early agricultural scieties als cnnected time t natural phenmena．In pre-Classical Greece，fr instance，peple“crrected”fficial calendars by shifting dates frward r backward t reflect the change f seasn．Tempral cnnectin t the envirnment was vital t their survival．Likewise，river time and ther timekeeping systems we're develping may encurage envirnmental awareness．
When St．Augustine admitted his inability t define time， he highlighted ne f time 's mst nticeable qualities：Time becmes meaningful nly in a defined cntext．Any timekeeping system is valid，and each is as praisewrthy as its purpse．
31 What is the main idea f Paragraph 1？
A. Timekeeping is increasingly related t nature．
B. Everyne can define time n their wn terms．
C. The qualities f time vary with hw yu measure it．
D. Time is a majr cncern f philsphers and scientists．
32. The authr raises three questins in Paragraph 2 mainly t________．
A. present an assumptinB. evaluate an argument
C. highlight an experimentD. intrduce an apprach
33. What can we learn frm this passage？
A. Thse wh d nt g n river time will live an imbalanced life．
B. New ways f measuring time can help t cntrl Earth systems．
C. Atmic time will get ahead f river time if the rivers run slwer．
D. Mdern technlgy may help t shape the rivers’ tempral frame．
34. What can we infer frm this passage？
A. It is crucial t imprve the definitin f time．
B. A fixed frame will make time meaningless．
C. We shuld live in harmny with nature．
D. Histry is a mirrr reflecting reality．
【答案】31. B 32. D 33. C 34. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是议论文。文章通过讨论时间的定义，讲述了人们应该和大自然和谐相处，保护环境。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“Even advanced physics can't decisively tell us what time is, because the answer depends n the questin yu're asking．(即使是先进的物理学也不能决定性地告诉我们时间是什么，因为答案取决于你要问的问题)”以及上文列举的哲学家St．Augustine和爱因斯坦对于时间的定义可推断，第一段主要讲述每个人都可以用自己的话来定义时间。故选B项。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“We're increasingly aware f the fact that we can't cntrl Earth systems with engineering alne，and realizing that we need t mderate（调节）ur actins if we hpe t live in balance．(我们越来越意识到，我们不能只是用工程学来控制地球系统，意识到，如果我们希望保持平衡，我们就需要调节我们的行动。)”进而提出问题“What if ur definitin f time reflected that？(如果时间的定义反映那些会怎么样呢)”，结合前两个问题“What if，instead f cnsidering time in terms f astrnmy, we related time t eclgy？What if we allwed envirnmental cnditins t set the temp（节奏） f human life？(如果我们不考虑天文学方面的时间，而是将时间与生态学联系起来呢？如果我们允许环境条件来设定人类生活的节奏呢)”可推断，第二段提出的三个问题是为了介绍方法。故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“We've prgrammed it t match an atmic clck if the waterways cntinue t flw at their present rate．If the rivers run faster in the future n average，the clck will get ahead f standard time．If they run slwer，yu'll see the ppsite effect．（如果水道继续以目前的速度流动，我们对它进行了编程，匹配了一个原子时间。如果河流在未来的平均运行速度更快，时间就会超过标准时间。如果它们的运行速度较慢，你就会看到相反的效果。）”可知，如果河流运行速度得较慢，原子时间将超过河流时间。故选C项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“We're increasingly aware f the fact that we can't cntrl Earth systems with engineering alne，and realizing that we need t mderate（调节）ur actins if we hpe t live in balance．(我们越来越意识到，我们不能只是用工程学来控制地球系统，意识到，如果我们希望保持平衡，我们就需要调节我们的行动。)”和倒数第二段的“Tempral cnnectin t the envirnment was vital t their survival．Likewise，river time and ther timekeeping systems we're develping may encurage envirnmental awareness(时间与环境的暂时联系对它们的生存至关重要。同样，河流时间和我们正在开发的其他时间保护系统也可能会鼓励人们提高环境意识)”可推断，从这篇文章中我们知道我们应该与自然和谐共处，保护环境。故选C。
Passage4
【2021年天津卷第一次】Abut five weeks ag, I nticed the skin f ur pet lizard was grwing dusty. It wrried me. I reprted the strange surface n the skin f the lizard t my husband and children the next mrning. Secnds later, ur lizard emerged frm its tank with its ld skin flwing behind it.
I didn't think abut it much until a mrning last week when I kncked my favrite teapt ff the table. It burst int hundreds f pieces. As I swept up the mess, I wndered why we had been breaking s many things ver the mnths.
The destructin started three mnths ag. It was my husband's birthday. He had just lst his jb. The uncertainty was starting t wear n us, s I wanted t d smething special.
“Let's make a cake fr Dad!” I cried.
My kids screamed with jy. We baked, iced and sprinkled fr mst f the day. Candles n the cake! Ballns n the walls! Flwers n the table!
Tw hurs befre my husband came back hme frm anther jb interview, my daughter climbed up t grab a glass vase frm a high shelf. It fell and crashed beside the cake. Tiny pieces f glass were everywhere. She sbbed ludly as I threw the cake away. My husband had banana pudding fr his birthday.
Three days ag, the light in ur living rm suddenly went ut. After several frustrating hurs f unsuccessful attempts t fix it, my husband suggested watching the Michael Jrdan dcumentary series The Last Dance.
The pignancy f Jrdan retiring frm his belved basketball t play baseball and what had pushed him t make such a tugh decisin tk me by surprise. As I watched him take ff his basketball unifrm and replace it with a baseball unifrm, I saw him leaving behind the layer that n lnger served him, just as ur lizard had. Neither f them chse the mment that had transfrmed them. But they had t live with wh they were after everything was different. Just like us. I realized that we have t learn t leave the past behind.
Humans d nt shed skin as easily as ther animals. The beginning f change is upsetting. The prcess is tiring. Damage changes us befre we are ready. I see ur lizard, raw and nearly new.
Jrdan said that n matter hw it ends, it starts with hpe. With ur tender, hpeful skin, that is where we begin.

【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。讲述了作者的丈夫刚刚丢了工作，这种不确定性开始影响到家人，直到作者看到家里的宠物蜥蜴换皮和观看了Michael Jrdan的纪录片《最后的舞蹈》后，领悟到我们必须学会把过去抛在脑后，像蜥蜴一样，用我们柔嫩、充满希望的皮肤，作为人生的起点。
40．细节理解题。根据第一段中“I reprted the strange surface n the skin f the lizard t my husband and children the next mrning. Secnds later, ur lizard emerged frm its tank with its ld skin flwing behind it.(第二天早上，我向丈夫和孩子们报告了蜥蜴皮肤上奇怪的表面。几秒钟后，我们的蜥蜴从水箱里出来，旧皮肤蜕了下来)”可知，宠物蜥蜴旧的皮肤脱落了。故选B。
41．细节理解题。根据第六段“Tw hurs befre my husband came back hme frm anther jb interview, my daughter climbed up t grab a glass vase frm a high shelf. It fell and crashed beside the cake. Tiny pieces f glass were everywhere. She sbbed ludly as I threw the cake away. My husband had banana pudding fr his birthday.(就在我丈夫参加另一场工作面试回家前两个小时，我女儿爬到一个高高的架子上，抓起一个玻璃花瓶。它掉下来摔碎在蛋糕旁边。到处都是细小的玻璃碎片。我把蛋糕扔掉时，她大声抽泣。我丈夫生日吃了香蕉布丁)”可知，作者的丈夫过生日吃了香蕉布丁是因为生日蛋糕毁了。故选A。
42．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“The pignancy f Jrdan retiring frm his belved basketball t play baseball and what had pushed him t make such a tugh decisin tk me by surprise. As I watched him take ff his basketball unifrm and replace it with a baseball unifrm, I saw him leaving behind the layer that n lnger served him, just as ur lizard had. Neither f them chse the mment that had transfrmed them. But they had t live with wh they were after everything was different. Just like us. I realized that we have t learn t leave the past behind.( Jrdan从心爱的篮球退役，转而打棒球，这是多么令人痛心的事情，是什么促使他做出如此艰难的决定，让我感到惊讶。当我看着他脱下篮球服，换上棒球服时，我看到他脱下了那层不再适合他的衣服，就像我们的蜥蜴一样。他们都没有选择那个改变了他们的时刻。但他们必须和自己生活在一起因为一切都变了。就像我们一样。我意识到我们必须学会把过去抛在脑后)”以及最后一段“Jrdan said that n matter hw it ends, it starts with hpe. With ur tender, hpeful skin, that is where we begin.( Jrdan说，不管结局如何，都是以希望开始的。用我们柔嫩、充满希望的皮肤，那是我们的起点)”可推知，作者在文章中提到The Last Dance是为了展开文章关于放手过去，重新开始的主题。故选C。
43．词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“Neither f them chse the mment that had transfrmed them. But they had t live with wh they were after everything was different. Just like us. I realized that we have t learn t leave the past behind.(他们都没有选择那个改变了他们的时刻。但他们必须和自己生活在一起因为一切都变了。就像我们一样。我意识到我们必须学会把过去抛在脑后)”可知，作者看着乔丹脱下篮球服，换上棒球服时，意识到看到他放开了过去，把过去抛在脑后了。即画线词意思是“放开过去”。故选A。
44．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Humans d nt shed skin as easily as ther animals. The beginning f change is upsetting. The prcess is tiring. Damage changes us befre we are ready. I see ur lizard, raw and nearly new.(人类不像其他动物那样容易蜕皮。变革的开始令人不安。这个过程很累人。伤害在我们准备好之前就改变了我们。我看到了我们生嫩的、几乎是全新的蜥蜴)”以及最后一段“Jrdan said that n matter hw it ends, it starts with hpe. With ur tender, hpeful skin, that is where we begin.( Jrdan说，不管结局如何，都是以希望开始的。用我们柔嫩、充满希望的皮肤，那是我们的起点)”可推知，作者最有可能想告诉我们无论发生什么，我们都应该继续前进。故选C。

【2021年天津卷第一次】There is smething t be said fr being a generalist, even if yu are a specialist. Knwing a little abut a lt f things that interest yu can add t the richness f a whle, well-lived life.
Sciety pushes us t specialize, t becme experts. This requires cmmitment t a particular ccupatin, branch f study r research. The drawback t being specialists is we ften cme t knw mre and mre abut less and less. There is a great deal f pressure t master ne's field. Yu may pursue training, degrees, r increasing levels f respnsibility at wrk. Then yu discver the pressure f having t keep up.
Sme peple seem willing t wrk arund the clck in their narrw specialty. But such cmmitment can als weaken a sense f freedm.

Things are cnnected. Let yur expertise in ne field fuel yur passins in all related areas. Sme f yur interests may nt appear t be cnnected but, nce yu explre their depths, yu discver that they are. My editr Tni, wh is als a writer, has edited several histry bks. She has decided t study Chinese histry. Fascinated by the structural beauty f the Frbidden City as a painter, she is equally interested t learn mre abut Chinese philsphy. "I dn't knw where it will lead, but I'm excited I'm n this pursuit."
These expansins int new wrlds help us by giving us new perspectives. We begin t see the intercnnectedness f ne thing t anther in all aspects f ur life, f urselves and the universe. Develp brad, general knwledge and experience. The universe is all yurs t explre and enjy.

A．Be Mre a Generalist Than a Specialist
B．Specialist r Generalist: Hard t Decide
C．Turn a Generalist int a Specialist
D．Ways t Becme a Generalist
【分析】本文是议论文。文章论述了要当一个多面手，而不是当某方面的专家。
51．推理判断题。文章第二段中提到“This requires cmmitment t a particular ccupatin, branch f study r research. The drawback t being specialists is we ften cme t knw mre and mre abut less and less.（成为专家需要对特定的职业、研究领域的投入。成为专家的缺点是我们常常对越来越少的知识领域了解得越来越多。）”根据“knw … abut less and less”可知，要成为一名专家，了解到的知识领域会越来越少，会缩小他的知识范围。故选A。
52．细节理解题。第三段中提到“Sme peple seem willing t wrk arund the clck in their narrw specialty. …These specialists culd wrk at the ffice until ten each night (有些人似乎愿意在他们狭隘的专业领域夜以继日地工作。…… 这些专家可以每天晚上在办公室工作到十点。)”由此可知，这些专家往往花大部分的时间在工作上。故选C。
53．细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“The dctr wh is als a pet and philspher is a superir dctr, ne wh can give s much mre t his patients than just gd medical skills. (这位既是诗人又是哲学家的医生是一位优秀的医生，他能给他的病人提供比良好的医术更多的东西。)”可知，作者认为一名优秀的医生可以将其他领域的知识带到工作中。故选D。
54．推理判断题。文章第五段中提到“Things are cnnected. Let yur expertise in ne field fuel yur passins in all related areas. Sme f yur interests may nt appear t be cnnected but, nce yu explre their depths, yu discver that they are.（事物之间是有联系的。让你在一个领域的专长激发你在所有相关领域的热情。你的一些兴趣可能看起来没有联系，但一旦你深入探索，你就会发现它们是有联系的。）”；下文举出Tni的例子“My editr Tni, wh is als a writer, has edited several histry bks. She has decided t study Chinese histry. Fascinated by the structural beauty f the Frbidden City as a painter, she is equally interested t learn mre abut Chinese philsphy.（我的编辑Tni也是一位作家，她编辑过几本历史书。她已决定学习中国历史。作为一名画家，她痴迷于紫禁城的建筑之美，同时也对更多地了解中国哲学感兴趣。）”由此可以推断，作者想通过Tni的例子说明看似不相关的兴趣，如果深入探索的话，在某种程度上是有联系的。故选D。
55．主旨大意题。文章第一段提出观点“There is smething t be said fr being a generalist, even if yu are a specialist.”作者提出即使你是一个专家，也应该当一个通才；文章第二段提出“The drawback t being specialists is we ften cme t knw mre and mre abut less and less. ”说明成为专家的不足之处是我们常常对越来越少的知识领域了解得越来越深；第四段中提到“Generalists, …, knw a lt abut a wide range f subjects and view the whle with all its cnnectins.”说明当通才的优点往往对广泛的学科了解得很多，并从整体上来看其中的所有的联系。作者的观点是应该当一个通才。因此文章的标题应为“Be Mre a Generalist Than a Specialist（做一个通才，而不是专家）”。故选A。

【2020年北京卷】Certain frms f AI are indeed becming ubiquitus. Fr example, algrithms (算法) carry ut huge vlumes f trading n ur financial markets, self-driving cars are appearing n city streets, and ur smartphnes are translating frm ne language int anther. These systems are smetimes faster and mre perceptive than we humans are. But s far that is nly true fr the specific tasks fr which the systems have been designed. That is smething that sme AI develpers are nw eager t change.
Sme f tday’s AI pineers want t mve n frm tday’s wrld f “weak” r “narrw” AI, t create “strng” r “full” AI, r what is ften called artificial general intelligence (AGI). In sme respects, tday’s pwerful cmputing machines already make ur brains lk weak. A GI culd, its advcates say, wrk fr us arund the clck, and drawing n all available data, culd suggest slutins t many prblems. DM, a cmpany fcused n the develpment f AGI, has an ambitin t “slve intelligence”. “If we’re successful,” their missin statement reads, “we believe this will be ne f the mst imprtant and widely beneficial scientific advances ever made.”
Since the early days f AI, imaginatin has utpaced what is pssible r even prbable. In 1965, an imaginative mathematician called Irving Gd predicted the eventual creatin f an “ultra-intelligent machine…that can far surpass all the intellectual (智力的) activities f any man, hwever clever.” Gd went n t suggest that “the first ultra-intelligent machine” culd be “the last inventin that man need ever make.”
Fears abut the appearance f bad, pwerful, man-made intelligent machines have been reinfrced (强化) by many wrks f fictin — Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and the Terminatr film series, fr example. But if AI des eventually prve t be ur dwnfall, it is unlikely t be at the hands f human-shaped frms like these, with recgnisably human mtivatins such as aggressin (敌对行为). Instead, I agree with Oxfrd University philspher Nick Bstrm, wh believes that the heaviest risks frm A GI d nt cme frm a decisin t turn against mankind but rather frm a dgged pursuit f set bjectives at the expense f everything else.
The prmise and danger f true A GI are great. But all f tday’s excited discussin abut these pssibilities presuppses the fact that we will be able t build these systems. And, having spken t many f the wrld’s fremst AI researchers, I believe there is gd reasn t dubt that we will see A GI any time sn, if ever.
42. What des the underlined wrd “ubiquitus” in Paragraph I prbably mean?
A. Enrmus in quantity.B. Changeable daily.

【答案】42. D 43. A 44. B 45. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要就通用人工智能(AGI)实现的可能性进行了论述。
【42题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句后面的Fr example, algrithms (算法) carry ut huge vlumes f trading n ur financial markets, self-driving cars are appearing n city streets, and ur smartphnes are translating frm ne language int anther(例如，算法在我们的金融市场上进行大量交易，自动驾驶汽车出现在城市街道上，我们的智能手机正在从一种语言翻译成另一种语言)可知，人工智能在我们生活中用处十分广泛。由此推知，划线词所在句意为“某些形式的人工智能确实正在变得无处不在”，即划线词与D选项“Present everywhere.(在任何地方存在)”意思接近。故选D项。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段AGI culd, its advcates say, wrk fr us arund the clck, and drawing n all available data, culd suggest slutins t many prblems(AGI的倡导者说，AGI可以24小时为我们工作，并利用所有可用的数据，可以提出许多问题的解决方案)可知，AGI(通用人工智能)的倡导者认为，AGI(通用人工智能)可以提出许多问题的解决方案，帮助我们解决问题。因此，A选项“Help t tackle prblems(帮助解决问题)”符合题意。故选A项。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段Since the early days f AI, imaginatin has utpaced what is pssible r even prbable. In 1965, an imaginative mathematician called Irving Gd predicted the eventual creatin f an “ultra-intelligent machine…that can far surpass all the intellectual (智力的) activities f any man, hwever clever.”(自从人工智能的早期，想象力已经超过了可能。1965年，一位富有想象力的数学家欧文·古德预言，最终将创造出一台“超智能机器……它将远远超过任何一个人的智力活动，无论他有多聪明。”)可知，作者认为Irving Gd对“超智能机器”的想象力超出了实现的可能，作者并不赞成他的观点，因此B项“disapprving(不赞成)”符合题意。故选B项。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一句And, having spken t many f the wrld's fremst AI researchers, I believe there is gd reasn t dubt that we will see A GI any time sn, if ever. (而且，在与世界上许多顶尖的人工智能研究人员交谈后，我相信有充分的理由怀疑我们是否会很快看到AGI)可推断出，通用人工智能（AGI）或许只是一个梦想，A选项“It may be nly a dream(它也许仅仅是一个梦想)”符合题意。故选择A项。
Passage 3
【2020年江苏卷】I was in the middle f the Amazn (亚马逊) with my wife, wh was there as a medical researcher. We flew n a small plane t a faraway village. We did nt speak the lcal language, did nt knw the custms, and mre ften than nt, did nt entirely recgnize the fd. We culd nt have felt mre freign.
We were raised n bks and cmputers, highways and cell phnes, but nw we were living in a village withut running water r electricity It was easy fr us t g t sleep at the end f the day feeling a little misunderstd.
Then ne perfect Amaznian evening, with mnkeys calling frm beynd the village green, we played sccer. I am nt gd at sccer, but that evening it was wnderful. Everyne knew the rules. We all spke the same language f passes and shts. We understd ne anther perfectly. As darkness came ver the field and the match ended, the gal keeper, Juan, walked ver t me and said in a matter-f-fact way, “In yur hme, d yu have a mn t?” I was surprised.
After I explained t Juan that yes, we did have a mn and yes, it was very similar t his, I felt a srt f awe (敬畏) at the pssibilities that existed in his wrld. In Juan’s wrld, each village culd have its wn mn. In Juan’s wrld. the unknwn and undiscvered was vast and marvelus. Anything was pssible.
In ur sciety, we knw that Earth has nly ne mn. We have lked at ur planet frm every angle and fund all f the wildest things left t find. I can, frm my cmputer at hme, pull up satellite images f Juan’s village. There are n mre cntinents and n mre mns t search fr, little left t discver. At least it seems that way.
Yet, as I thught abut Juan’s questin, I was nt sure hw much mre we culd really rule ut. I am, in part, an ant bilgist, s my thughts turned t what we knw abut insect life and I knew that much in the wrld f insects remains unknwn. Hw much, thugh? Hw ignrant (无知的) are we? The questin f what we knw and d nt knw cnstantly bthered me.
I began cllecting newspaper articles abut new species, new mnkey, new spider…, and n and n they appear. My drawer quickly filled. I began a secnd drawer fr mre general discveries: new cave system discvered with dzens f nameless species, fur hundred species f bacteria fund in the human stmach. The secnd drawer began t fill and as it did I wndered whether there were bigger discveries ut there, nt just species, but life that depends n things thught t be useless, life even withut DNA. I started a third drawer fr these big discveries. It fills mre slwly, but all the same, it fills.
In lking int the stries f bilgical discvery, I als began t find smething else, a cllectin f scientists, usually brilliant ccasinally half-mad, wh made the discveries. Thse scientists very ften see the same things that ther scientists see, but they pay mre attentin t them, and they fcus n them t the pint f exhaustin (穷尽), and at the risk f the ridicule f their peers. In lking fr the stries f discvery, I fund the stries f these peple and hw their lives changed ur view f the wrld.
We are repeatedly willing t imagine we have fund mst f what is left t discver. We used t think that insects were the smallest rganisms (生物), and that nthing lived deeper than six hundred meters. Yet, when smething new turns up, mre ften than nt, we d nt even knw its name.
65. Hw did the authr feel n his arrival in the Amazn?
A. Out f place.B. Full f jy.C. Sleepy.D. Regretful.
66. What made that Amaznian evening wnderful?
A. He learned mre abut the lcal language.
B. They had a nice cnversatin with each ther.
C. They understd each ther while playing.
D. He wn the sccer game with the gal keeper.
67. Why was the authr surprised at Juan’s questin abut the mn?
A. The questin was t straightfrward.
B. Juan knew s little abut the wrld.
C. The authr didn’t knw hw t answer.
D. The authr didn’t think Juan was sincere.

C. They ften criticized their fellw scientists.
D. They cnducted in-depth and clse studies.
70. What culd be the mst suitable title fr the passage?

【文章大意】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者和妻子来到了亚马逊，妻子是一名医学研究者。一踏上这里，作者感到非常不适应，通过与当地人的接触，作者了解一些人对外部的世界并不了解。在生物多样性发现的过程中，作者意识到，很多东西是人类已知的，还有很多是人类未知的。
65. 推理判断题。根据第一段“We didn’t speak the lcal language, did nt knw the custms and mre ften than nt, didn’t entirely recgnize the fd. We culdn’t have felt mre freign.”可知，我们不会说当地的语言，不了解当地的风俗习惯，而且往往我们不能完全认识食物，我们感觉非常陌生。由此可知，作者一到达亚马逊感觉格格不入。故选A项。
66. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Everyne knew the rules. We all spke the same language f passes and shts. We understd ne anther perfectly.”可知，每个人都知道规则，在传球和射门方面，我们说着同样的语言，彼此非常了解。由此可知，踢球时他们的彼此理解使得他们的亚马逊夜晚很美好。故选C项。
67. 推理判断题。根据第四段“In Juan’s wrld, the unknwn and undiscvered was vast and marvelus.”可知，在胡安的世界里，未知的东西和未被发现的东西是浩瀚而神奇的。由此判断，胡安对这个世界知之甚少。故选B项。
68. 推理判断题。根据第七段“I began cllecting newspaper articles abut new species, new spider...,and n and n they appear, my drawer quickly filled, I began a secnd drawer fr mre general discveries: new cave system discvered with dzens f nameless species started a third drawer fr these big discveries.”可知，我开始收集报纸上关于新物种、新蜘蛛的文章……它们源源不断地出现，我的抽屉很快就填满了。我开始用第二个抽屉来储存更普遍的发现:在新的洞穴系统发现了几十个无名的物种……我还为这些重大发现准备了第三个抽屉。由此判断，作者收集报纸文章的初始目的是为了分类我们所知道的事情。故选A项。
69. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“but they pay mre attentin t them ,and they fcus n them t the pint f exhaustin ,and at the risk f the ridicule f their peers.”可知，但他们更多地关注这些发现，他们把注意力集中在这些发现上直到精疲力竭的地步，冒着被同龄人嘲笑的风险。由此可知，杰出的科学家进行深入细致的研究，做出重大的发现。故选D项。
70. 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，作者和妻子来到了亚马逊。一踏上这里，作者感到非常不适应，通过与当地人的接触，作者了解到一些人对外部的世界并不了解。在对这里的风土人情和多样化生物的研究过程中，作者提高了认识，意识到很多东西是人类已知的，还有很多是人类未知的。所以短文的最佳标题为“已知和未知的事物”。故选B项。

It wuld nt matter if these misjudgments were just a matter f peple's pinins. Hwever, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use f scarce resurces.
The fascinatin with the ICT(Infrmatin and Cmmunicatin Technlgy) revlutin, represented by the Internet, has made sme rich cuntries wrngly cnclude that making things is s "yesterday" that they shuld try t live n ideas. This belief in "pst-industrial sciety" has led thse cuntries t neglect their manufacturing sectr(制造业) with negative cnsequences fr their ecnmies.
Even mre wrryingly, the fascinatin with the Internet by peple in rich cuntries has mved the internatinal cmmunity t wrry abut the "digital divide" between the rich cuntries and the pr cuntries. This has led cmpanies and individuals t dnate mney t develping cuntries t buy cmputer equipment and Internet facilities. The questin, hwever, is whether this is what the develping cuntries need the mst. Perhaps giving mney fr thse less fashinable things such as digging wells, extending electricity netwrks and making mre affrdable washing machines wuld have imprved peple's lives mre than giving every child a laptp cmputer r setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I am nt saying that thse things are necessarily mre imprtant, but many dnatrs have rushed int fancy prgrammes withut carefully assessing the relative lng-term csts and benefits f alternative uses f their mney.
In yet anther example, a fascinatin with the new has led peple t believe that the recent changes in the technlgies f cmmunicatins and transprtatin are s revlutinary that nw we live in a "brderless wrld". As a result, in the last twenty years r s, many peple have cme t believe that whatever change is happening tday is the result f great technlgical prgress, ging against which will be like trying t turn the clck back. Believing in such a wrld, many gvernments have put an end t sme f the very necessary regulatins n crss-brder flws f capital, labur and gds, with pr results.
Understanding technlgical trends is very imprtant fr crrectly designing ecnmic plicies, bth at the natinal and the internatinal levels, and fr making the right career chices at the individual level. Hwever, ur fascinatin with the latest, and ur under valuatin f what has already becme cmmn, can, and has, led us in all srts f wrng directins.
61. Misjudgments n the influences f new technlgy can lead t __________.
A. a lack f cnfidence in technlgy
B. a slw prgress in technlgy
C. a cnflict f public pinins
D. a waste f limited resurces
62. The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that dnatrs shuld __________.
A. take peple's essential needs int accunt
B. make their prgrammes attractive t peple
C. ensure that each child gets financial supprt
D. prvide mre affrdable internet facilities
63. What has led many gvernments t remve necessary regulatins?
A. Neglecting the impacts f technlgical advances.
B. Believing that the wrld has becme brderless.
C. Ignring the pwer f ecnmic develpment.
D. Over-emphasizing the rle f internatinal cmmunicatin.
64. What can we learn frm the passage?
A. Peple shuld be encuraged t make mre dnatins.
B. Traditinal technlgy still has a place nwadays.
C. Making right career chices is crucial t persnal success.

【答案】61. D 62. A 63. B 64. B
【语篇解读】本文属于议论文，讲述对信息技术的过分迷恋对国家，对个人，对慈善事业都会有不利的影响。
61.D 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段Hwever, they have reak impacts, as they result in misguided use f scarce resurces. 可知，对信息技术的错误判断会导致有限资源的错误使用，也就是资源的浪费，故选D。
62.A 【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段Perhaps giving mney fr thse less fashinable things such as digging wells, extending electricity netwrks and making mre affrdable washing machines wuld have imprved peple's lives mre than giving every child a laptp cmputer r setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I am nt saying that thse things are necessarily mre imprtant, but many dnatrs have rushed int fancy prgrammes withut carefully assessing the relative lng-term csts and benefits f alternative uses f their mney.可知，与其给那些贫困地区孩子笔记本电脑或者建网络中心，还不如给钱打井，铺电网或者生产他们买得起的洗衣机，这些东西更能改善他们的生活。作者不是说这些东西一定更重要，但是很多捐赠者没有仔细考虑捐赠的东西的长期成本，因此作者建议捐赠者要考虑接受捐赠的人的实际情况，而不是一味地追求信息化，故选A。
63.B 【解析】推理判断题。根据第五段In yet anther example, a fascinatin with the new has led peple t believe that the recent changes in the technlgies f cmmunicatins and transprtatin are s revlutinary that nw we live in a "brderless wrld". 以及Believing in such a wrld, many gvernments have put an end t sme f the very necessary regulatins n crss-brder flws f capital, labur and gds, with pr results.可知，对新东西的迷恋让人们认为如今通讯技术和交通的变革让我们生活在一个无国界的世界。正是认为我们生活在这样一个世界，很多政府取消了关于跨国界的资本、劳动力以及商品流动的法律法规，故选B。
64.B 【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段The fascinatin with the ICT(Infrmatin and Cmmunicatin Technlgy) revlutin, represented by the Internet, has made sme rich cuntries wrngly cnclude that making things is s "yesterday" that they shuld try t live n ideas. This belief in "pst-industrial sciety" has led thse cuntries t neglect their manufacturing sectr(制造业) with negative cnsequences fr their ecnmies.可知，对互联网呈现的通讯技术变革的迷恋让很多富裕国家做出一个错误的结论，制造产品已经过时了，他们应该靠创意生活，因而忽略了制造业，从而对经济造成不利影响，故可知传统的技术依然传统的技术依然有它的地位，不能新兴的信息技术取代，故选B。

2018年阅读理解议论文
Passage1
【2018年全国Ⅱ卷】We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank r n an airplane, surrunded by peple wh are, like us, deeply fcused n their smartphnes r, wrse, struggling with the uncmfrtable silence.
What’s the prblem? It’s pssible that we all have cmprmised cnversatinal intelligence. It’s mre likely that nne f us start a cnversatin because it’s awkward and challenging, r we think it’s annying and unnecessary. But the next time yu find yurself amng strangers, cnsider that small talk is wrth the truble. Experts say it’s an invaluable scial practice that results in big benefits.
Dismissing small talk as unimprtant is easy, but we can’t frget that deep relatinships wuldn’t
even exist if it weren’t fr casual cnversatin. Small talk is the grease(润滑剂) fr scial cmmunicatin, says Bernard Carducci, directr f the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Sutheast. ＂Almst every great lve stry and each big business deal begins with small talk,＂ he explains. ＂The key t successful small talk is learning hw t cnnect with thers, nt just cmmunicate with them.＂
In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, assciate prfessr f psychlgy at UBC, invited peple n their way int a cffee shp. One grup was asked t seek ut an interactin(互动) with its waiter; the ther, t speak nly when necessary. The results shwed that thse wh chatted with their server reprted significantly higher psitive feelings and a better cffee shp experience. ＂It’s nt that talking t the waiter is better than talking t yur husband,＂ says Dunn. ＂But interactins with peripheral(边缘的) members f ur scial netwrk matter fr ur well-being als.＂
Dunn believes that peple wh reach ut t strangers feel a significantly greater sense f belnging, a bnd with thers. Carducci believes develping such a sense f belnging starts with small talk. ＂Small talk is the basis f gd manners,＂ he says.
32. What phenmenn is described in the first paragraph?
A. Addictin t smartphnes.
B. Inapprpriate behaviurs in public places.
C. Absence f cmmunicatin between strangers.
D. Impatience with slw service.
33. What is imprtant fr successful small talk accrding t Carducci?
A. Shwing gd manners. B. Relating t ther peple.
C. Fcusing n a tpic. D. Making business deals.
34. What des the cffee-shp study suggest abut small talk?
A. It imprves family relatinships. B. It raises peple’s cnfidence.
C. It matters as much as a frmal talk. D. It makes peple feel gd.
35. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Cnversatin Cunts B. Ways f Making Small Talk
C. Benefits f Small Talk D. Uncmfrtable Silence
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. C
【解析】这是一篇议论文。在当今社会，人们在公共场合或沉迷于智能手机，或与不舒服的沉默抗争，陌生人之间缺乏沟通。但人与人之间是需要适当的交谈闲聊的，闲聊是人际关系社会交往必不可少的部分，而且也有很多好处。
32. 推理判断题。题干问的是：第一段描述了什么现象。在公共场合（比如在电梯里，在银行排队，或在飞机上）人们深深地专注于他们的智能手机，或者更糟糕的是，与不舒服的沉默抗争。有此可知，陌生人之间缺乏沟通。A项意为：沉迷于智能手机。B项意为：在公共场所不适当的行为。C项意为：陌生人之间缺乏沟通。D项意为：对缓慢的服务不耐烦。故选C项。
33. 推理判断题。题干问得是对于Carducci来说，成功的闲聊中重要的是什么。根据第三段最后一句“The key t successful small talk is learning hw t cnnect with thers, nt just cmmunicate with them”（成功闲聊的关键是学习如何与他们交流，而不仅仅是与他们沟通。）由此推断C符合题意。A项意为：表现出良好的礼貌。B项意为：与他人有关的。C项意为：专注于一个话题。D项意为：做商业交易。故选B项。
34. 推理判断题。题干问的是：咖啡店的研究对闲聊有什么建议。根据第四段的调查结果可知，那些与服务员聊天的人，有显著的积极情绪和更好的咖啡店体验。由此可知，D项符合题意。A项意为：闲聊改善了家庭关系。B项意为：闲聊提高了人们的信心。C项意为：闲聊和正式谈话一样重要。D项意为：闲聊让人感觉很好。故选D项。
35. 主旨大意题。整篇文章刚开始介绍了社会的现象（公共场合人们沉迷于智能手机，陌生人之间缺乏沟通交流），接着分析了这一问题的原因，接下来有专家对闲聊进行了研究，最后得出结论，闲聊都有什么样的好处。A项意为：谈话很重要。B项意为：闲聊的方法。C项意为：闲聊的好处。D项意为：不舒服的沉默。故选C项。
点睛：我们在做阅读理解时，尽量找出每段的主讲内容（可能是一句话或是一个短语），这样有利于整篇文章的把握，有利于做文章大意题。如35题，很显然本文讲的不是重要性也不是方法更不是沉默，所以ABD都可以轻松排除。
Passage 2
【2018年全国Ⅲ卷】Adults understand what it feels like t be flded with bjects. Why d we ften assume that mre is mre when it cmes t kids and their belngings? The gd news is that I can help my wn kids learn earlier than I did hw t live mre with less.

【答案】32. A 33. C 34. A 35. C
【解析】这是一片夹叙夹议文。文章讲述作者引导孩子主动捐献玩具，并从玩耍简单玩具中获得快乐的做法。
32. 词义猜测题。根据文章第一段最后一句…I can help my wn kids learn earlier than I did hw t live mre with less可以推断出，人们通常认为越多越好。故选A。
33. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中She chse t sell a few larger bjects that were less ften used when we prmised t put the mney int her schl fund(基金)可知，当我们承诺给她把卖玩具的钱放到她的教育基金里时，她同意卖玩具。故选C。
34. 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段最后一句My little experiment t find jy in a single bject wrked fr bth f us.表明，跟Shepherd玩球是为了测试自己的一种想法是否可行。故选A。
35. 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段可知，作者想要教会孩子hw t live mre with less，而二三段是作者的尝试，故C作标题适合。
【点睛】 高考中词义推断可以是一个单词的意义推断，也可以是一个短语或句子的意义推断，既可以是生词意义，也可以是熟词新意；还可以是对替代词所替代内容的判断。在阅读理解题中，所考查的词或短语的意义往往不停留在字面上，要根据短文提供的语境，通过阅读上下文，根据已知的信息或常识来推测尚不熟悉的词或词组的含义。词义猜测主要的解题策略有：语境猜词、语法猜词和常识猜词。
语境既上下文。由于上下文中的生词不是孤立存在的，其词义与句中其它词的词义或具体的语境有着密切的联系。因此在阅读过程中，许多生词的词义可以充分利用上下文中相关的词汇，短语并结合具体的语境来推测。此题中第一题为词义猜测题。根据文章第一段的第三句the gd news is that I can …可以推断出，前后语义相反，后句中是live mre with less，所以前句应该是“越多越好”的意思。
Passage 3
【2018年北京卷】 Preparing Cities fr Rbt Cars
The pssibility f self-driving rbt cars has ften seemed like a futurist’s dream, years away frm materializing in the real wrld. Well, the future is apparently nw. The Califrnia Department f Mtr Vehicles began giving permits in April fr cmpanies t test truly self-driving cars n public rads. The state als cleared the way fr cmpanies t sell r rent ut self-driving cars, and fr cmpanies t perate driverless taxi services. Califrnia, it shuld be nted, isn’t leading the way here. Cmpanies have been testing their vehicles in cities acrss the cuntry. It’s hard t predict when driverless cars will be everywhere n ur rads. But hwever lng it takes, the technlgy has the ptential t change ur transprtatin systems and ur cities, fr better r fr wrse, depending n hw the transfrmatin is regulated.
While much f the debate s far has been fcused n the safety f driverless cars(and rightfully s), plicymakers als shuld be talking abut hw self-driving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissins(排放) and ffer mre cnvenient, affrdable mbility ptins. The arrival f driverless vehicles is a chance t make sure that thse vehicles are envirnmentally friendly and mre shared.
D we want t cpy — r even wrsen — the traffic f tday with driverless cars? Imagine a future where mst adults wn individual self-driving vehicles. They tlerate lng, slw jurneys t and frm wrk n packed highways because they can wrk, entertain themselves r sleep n the ride, which encurages urban spread. They take their driverless car t an appintment and set the empty vehicle t circle the building t avid paying fr parking. Instead f walking a few blcks t pick up a child r the dry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus. The cnvenience even leads fewer peple t take public transprt — an unwelcme side effect researchers have already fund in ride-hailing(叫车) services.
A study frm the University f Califrnia at Davis suggested that replacing petrl-pwered private cars wrldwide with electric, self-driving and shared systems culd reduce carbn emissins frm transprtatin 80% and cut the cst f transprtatin infrastructure(基础设施) and peratins 40% by 2050. Fewer emissins and cheaper travel sund pretty appealing. The first cmmercially available driverless cars will almst certainly be fielded by ride-hailing services, cnsidering the cst f self-driving technlgy as well as liability and maintenance issues(责任与维护问题). But driverless car wnership culd increase as the prices drp and mre peple becme cmfrtable with the technlgy. zxxk
Plicymakers shuld start thinking nw abut hw t make sure the appearance f driverless vehicles desn’t extend the wrst aspects f the car-cntrlled transprtatin system we have tday. The cming technlgical advancement presents a chance fr cities and states t develp transprtatin systems designed t mve mre peple, and mre affrdably. The car f the future is cming. We just have t plan fr it.
47. Accrding t the authr, attentin shuld be paid t hw driverless cars can __________.
A. help deal with transprtatin-related prblems
B. prvide better services t custmers
C. cause damage t ur envirnment
D. make sme peple lse jbs
48. As fr driverless cars, what is the authr’s majr cncern?
A. Safety. B. Side effects.
C. Affrdability. D. Management.
49. What des the underlined wrd ＂fielded＂ in Paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A. Emplyed. B. Replaced.
C. Shared. D. Reduced.
50. What is the authr’s attitude t the future f self-driving cars?
A. Dubtful. B. Psitive.
C. Disapprving. D. Sympathetic.
【答案】47. A 48. D 49. A 50. B
【解析】本文为议论文。文章主要讨论有关无人驾驶汽车的发展前景和面临的问题。
47. 推理判断题。根据第二段While much f the debate s far has been fcused n the safety f driverless cars(and rightfully s), plicymakers als shuld be talking abut hw self-driving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissins(排放) and ffer mre cnvenient, affrdable mbility ptins. 可知，政策制定者应该讨论无人驾驶车怎么帮助削减交通阻塞，减少尾气排放，提供更方便、更便宜的出行选择，由此可见人们应该多关注无人驾驶车怎么帮助处理与交通有关的问题。故选A。
48. 推理判断题。根据文章第一段But hwever lng it takes, the technlgy has the ptential t change ur transprtatin systems and ur cities, fr better r fr wrse, depending n hw the transfrmatin is regulated. 可知，不管花多长时间，这项技术都有可能改变我们的交通系统和我们的城市，不管是好是坏，这取决于如何这种转变如何被规范，再根据文章最后一句话The car f the future is cming. We just have t plan fr it. 可知，我们需要为其做好计划，故作者的主要关注点是对这种转变的管理规范，故选D。
49. 词义猜测题。根据第四段The first cmmercially available driverless cars will almst certainly be fielded by ride-hailing services, cnsidering the cst f self-driving technlgy as well as liability and maintenance issues(责任与维护问题). 可知，鉴于自主驾驶的费用以及责任和维护问题，无人驾驶车几乎可以肯定将会被打车服务使用。故划线词是“被应用”的意思。A. Emplyed被应用；B. Replaced被取代；C. Shared被分享；D. Reduced被减少。故选A。
50. 观点态度题。根据文章最后一段The cming technlgical advancement presents a chance fr cities and states t develp transprtatin systems designed t mve mre peple, and mre affrdably. The car f the future is cming. We just have t plan fr it. 中的 advancement，mve mre peple, and mre affrdably. 以及plan fr it可推知，作者是积极的态度。故选B。
点睛：根据用词风格，推断情感态度。一篇好的文章，其用词风格常常直接流露或蕴含作者的内心世界和情感态度。所以阅读时要善于捕捉表达或暗示情感态度的词句或短语，捕捉那些烘托气氛，渲染情感的词句，进而很好地洞察作者的思想倾向，是支持、反对抑或中立？对于选项而言，要分清选项中的褒义词、中性词和贬义词，以此对照全文。
如本题最后一题为观点态度题，根据文中reduce carbn emissins，cut the cst f transprtatin infrastructure(基础设施) and peratins 40% ，appealing，cmfrtable，advancement，mve mre peple, and mre affrdably. ，等词汇可以推断出作者对无人驾驶汽车持积极态度。故选B。
Passage 4
【2018年江苏卷】In the 1760s, Mathurin Rze pened a series f shps that basted(享有) a special meat sup called cnsmmé. Althugh the main attractin was the sup, Rze's chain shps als set a new standard fr dining ut, which helped t establish Rze as the inventr f the mdern restaurant.
Tday, schlars have generated large amunts f instructive research abut restaurants. Take visual hints that influence what we eat: diners served themselves abut 20 percent mre pasta(意大利面食) when their plates matched their fd. When a dark-clred cake was served n a black plate rather than a white ne, custmers recgnized it as sweeter and mre tasty.
Lighting matters, t. When Berlin restaurant custmers ate in darkness, they culdn't tell hw much they'd had: thse given extra-large shares ate mre than everyne else, nne the wiser—they didn’t feel fuller, and they were just as ready fr dessert.
Time is mney, but that principle means different things fr different types f restaurants. Unlike fast-fd places, fine dining shps prefer custmers t stay lnger and spend. One way t encurage custmers t stay and rder that extra rund: put n sme Mzart(莫扎特).When classical, rather than pp, music was playing, diners spent mre. Fast music hurried diners ut.
Particular scents als have an effect: diners wh gt the scent f lavender(薰衣草) stayed lnger and spent mre than thse wh smelled lemn, r n scent.
Meanwhile, things that yu might expect t discurage spending—"bad" tables, crwding. high prices — dn't necessarily. Diners at bad tables — next t the kitchen dr, say — spent nearly as much as thers but sn fled. It can be cncluded that restaurant keepers need nt "be verly cncerned abut ‘bad’ tables," given that they're prfitable. As fr crwds, a Hng Kng study fund that they increased a restaurant's reputatin, suggesting great fd at fair prices. And dubling a buffet's price led custmers t say that its pizza was 11 percent tastier.
58. The underlined phrase "nne the wiser" in paragraph 3 mst prbably implies that the custmers were .
A. nt aware f eating mre than usual
B. nt willing t share fd with thers
C. nt cnscius f the fd quality
D. nt fnd f the fd prvided
59. Hw culd a fine dining shp make mre prfit?
A. Playing classical music.
B. Intrducing lemn scent.
C. Making the light brighter,
D. Using plates f larger size.
60. What des the last paragraph talk abut?
A. Tips t attract mre custmers.
B. Prblems restaurants are faced with.
C. Ways t imprve restaurants' reputatin.
D. Cmmn misunderstandings abut restaurants.
【答案】58. A 59. A 60. D
【解析】本文为议论文，介绍了现代餐馆面临的经营困境和解决方案，介绍了刺激消费和食欲的几种方法，以及人们对餐厅就餐的一些错误认识。
58. 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段划线部分的前句they culdn't tell hw much they'd had: thse given extra-large shares ate mre than everyne else,可知在黑暗中，他们说不清自己吃了多少，再根据划线后 的句子they didn’t feel fuller, and they were just as ready fr dessert.可知他们虽然吃得很多，但并没有感觉更饱，仍然在等着吃甜点，所以他们没有意识到自己吃多了，所以A正确。
59. 细节理解题。根据第四段中的One way t encurage custmers t stay and rder that extra rund: put n sme Mzart(莫扎特）可知，要想让客人呆的时间更长应该播放莫扎特等古典音乐而不是流行音乐。Particular scents als have an effect: diners wh gt the scent f lavender(薰衣草）stayed lnger and spent mre than thse wh smelled lemn, r n scent.引入薰衣草香而不是柠檬香，而D项文章没有提及，所以用排除方法可以选A。
60. 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段第一句Meanwhile, things that yu might expect t discurage spending—"bad" tables, crwding，high prices — dn't necessarily.可知你认为可能会影响人们消费的因素如不好的桌子，拥挤以及高价等不一定会真影响人们的消费，然后依次举例进行了证明，所以本段主要讲的是人们对于饭店的几个误解，故选D。
点睛：概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。此时，要注意一些转折词，如but, yet, hwever, althugh, in spite f, by cntrast, n the cntrary等。当文章中表示相反的观点时，往往用到这些词。答题时要弄清哪个是作者的观点，排除迷惑性信息，准确归纳主旨大意。
本题的最后一题是主旨大意类，要求概括本段的主旨大意，根据寻找主旨大意的方法，通过阅读第一句话可以简单地总结出主旨大意为人们对于饭店的几个误解。在通过阅读下文可以找到支持这一观点的例子，因此可以确定主旨大意。
Passage 5
【2018年江苏卷】Children as yung as ten are becming dependent n scial media fr their sense f self-wrth, a majr study warned.
It fund many yungsters(少年）nw measure their status by hw much public apprval they get nline, ften thrugh “likes”. Sme change their behaviur in real life t imprve their image n the web.
The reprt int yungsters aged frm 8 t 12 was carried ut by Children's Cmmissiner (专员）Anne Lngfield. She said scial media firms were expsing children t majr emtinal risks, with sme yungsters starting secndary schl ill-equipped t cpe with the tremendus pressure they faced nline.
Sme scial apps were ppular amng the children even thugh they suppsedly require users t be at least 13.The yungsters admitted planning trips arund ptential pht-pprtunities and then messaging friends—and friends f friends — t demand “likes” fr their nline psts.
The reprt fund that yungsters felt their friendships culd be at risk if they did nt respnd t scial media psts quickly, and arund the clck.
Children aged 8 t 10 were "starting t feel happy" when thers liked their psts. Hwever, thse in the 10 t 12 age grup were "cncerned with hw many peple like their psts", suggesting a “need” fr scial recgnitin that gets strnger the lder they becme.
Miss Lngfield warned that a generatin f children risked grwing up "wrried abut their appearance and image as a result f the unrealistic lifestyles they fllw n platfrms, and increasingly anxius abut switching ff due t the cnstant demands f scial media.
She said: "Children are using scial media with family and friends and t play games when they are in primary schl. But what starts as fun usage f apps turns int tremendus pressure in real scial media interactin at secndary schl."
As their wrld expanded, she said, children cmpared themselves t thers nline in a way that was "hugely damaging in terms f their self-identity, in terms f their cnfidence, but als in terms f their ability t develp themselves".
Miss Lngfield added: "Then there is this push t cnnect—if yu g ffline, will yu miss smething, will yu miss ut, will yu shw that yu dn't care abut thse peple yu are fllwing, all f thse cme tgether in a huge way at nce." "Fr children it is very, very difficult t cpe with emtinally." The Children's Cmmissiner fr England's study—life in Likes—fund that children as yung as 8 were using scial media platfrms largely fr play.
Hwever, the research—invlving eight grups f 32 children aged 8 t 12—suggested that as they headed tward their teens, they became increasingly anxius nline.
By the time they started secndary schl—at age 11—children were already far mre aware f their image nline and felt under huge pressure t ensure their psts were ppular, the reprt fund.
Hwever, they still did nt knw hw t cpe with mean-spirited jkes, r the sense f incmpetence they might feel if they cmpared themselves t celebrities(名人）r mre brilliant friends nline. The reprt said they als faced pressure t respnd t messages at all hurs f the day—especially at secndary schl when mre yungsters have mbile phnes.
The Children’s Cmmissiner said schls and parents must nw d mre t prepare children fr the emtinal minefield(雷区）they faced nline. And she said scial media cmpanies must als "take mre respnsibility". They shuld either mnitr their websites better s that children d nt sign up t early, r they shuld adjust their websites t the needs f yunger users.
Javed Khan, f children's charity Bamard's, said: "It's vital that new cmpulsry age- apprpriate relatinship and sex educatin lessns in England shuld help equip children t deal with the grwing demands f scial media.
“It’s als hugely imprtant fr parents t knw which apps their children are using.”

点睛：推理判断试题属于高层次阅读理解题。这种题型包括判断题和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存，推理是为了得出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。做好该题型要从整体上把握语篇内容，在语篇的表面意义与隐含意义、已知信息与未知信息间架起桥梁，透过字里行间，去体会作者的“弦外之音”。推理判断题常常可以分为如下几类：（1）细节推断。如时间、地点、人物关系等；（2）逻辑推断。根据已知的结果推断导致结果产生的可能原因；（3）目的、意图、态度推断。根据文章的论述，推断作者的写作目的以及作者情感态度；（4）预测想象推断。文章没有明确说明，要求根据语篇对文章可能涉及的内容进行预测判断。
本题的第二和第四小题都属于细节推理，解答此类题目首先要准确定位信息句，然后根据信息句进行合理判断，如第二小题根据原文信息Sme scial apps were ppular amng the children even thugh they suppsedly require users t be at least 13.中关键信息为even thugh 后的内容，即尽管他们要求使用者要13岁以上，但在小于13的孩子中仍很受欢迎，说明他们的监管不力。
再如第四小题也属于细节推理题。根据文章第12段Hwever, the research—invlving eight grups f 32 children aged 8 t 12—suggested that as they headed tward their teens, they became increasingly anxius nline.可知随着孩子年龄的增长，他们开始渴望上网，再根据13段By the time they started secndary schl—at age 11—children were already far mre aware f their image nline and felt under huge pressure t ensure their psts were ppular, the reprt fund.可以推断出他们的压力源于他们渴望自己的发帖能受欢迎，被认可，由此可见他们渴望得到公众的认可。
Passage 6
【2018年天津卷】Give yurself a test. Which way is the wind blwing? Hw many kinds f wildflwers can be seen frm yur frnt dr? If yur awareness is as sharp as it culd be, yu’ll have n truble answering these questins.
Mst f us bserved much mre as children than we d as adults. A child’s day is filled with fascinatin, newness and wnder. Curisity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctins that were sharp t us as children becme unclear; we are numb(麻木的) t new stimulatin(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art f seeing the wrld arund us is quite simple, althugh it takes practice and requires breaking sme bad habits.
The first step in awakening senses is t stp predicting what we are ging t see and feel befre it ccurs. This blcks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rcky Muntains with sme students, I mentined that we were ging t crss a muntain stream. The students began cmplaining abut hw cld it wuld be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almst knee-deep when they realized it was a ht spring. Later they all admitted they’d felt cld water at first.
Anther blck t awareness is the bsessin(痴迷) many f us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers wh sptted a bird, immediately lked it up in field guides, and said, a "ruby-crwned kinglet" and checked it ff. They n lnger paid attentin t the bird and never learned what it was ding.
The pressures f "time" and "destinatin" are further blcks t awareness. I encuntered many hikers wh were headed t a distant camp-grund with just enugh time t get there befre dark. It seldm ccurred t them t wander a bit, t take a mment t see what’s arund them. I asked them what they’d seen. "Oh, a few birds," they said. They seemed bent n their destinatins.
Nature seems t unfld t peple wh watch and wait. Next time yu take a walk, n matter where it is, take in all the sights, sunds and sensatins. Wander in this frame f mind and yu will pen a new dimensin t yur life.

Passage 2
【2017年浙江卷】FLORENCE, Italy — Svetlana Cjchru feels hurt. The Mldvan has lived here seven years as a caregiver t Italian kids and the elderly, but in rder t stay she’s had t prve her language skills by taking a test which requires her t write a pstcard t an imaginary friend and answer a fictinal jb ad.
Italy is the latest Western Eurpean cuntry trying t cntrl a grwing immigrant(移民)ppulatin by demanding language skills in exchange fr wrk permits, r in sme cases, citizenship.
Sme immigrant advcates wrry that as hard financial times make it mre difficult fr natives t keep jbs, such measures will becme mre a vehicle fr intlerance than integratin(融合).Others say it’s nly natural that newcmers learn the language f their hst natin, seeing it as a cnditin t ensure they can cntribute t sciety.
Other Eurpean cuntries laid dwn a similar requirement fr immigrants, and sme terms are even tugher. The gvernments argue that this will help freigners better jin the sciety and prmte understanding acrss cultures.
Italy, which has a much weaker traditin f immigratin, has witnessed a sharp increase in immigratin in recent years. In 1990, immigrants numbered sme 1.14 millin ut f Italy’s then 56.7 millin peple, r abut 2 percent. At the start f this year, freigners living in Italy amunted t 4.56 millin f a ttal ppulatin f 60.6 millin, r 7.5 percent, with immigrants’ children accunting fr an ever larger percentage f births in Italy.
Cjchru, the Mldvan caregiver, hped btaining permanent residence (居住权) wuld help her bring her tw children t Italy; they live with her sister in Mldva, where salaries are amng the lwest in Eurpe. She was skeptical that the language requirement wuld encurage integratin.
Italians always "see me as a freigner," an utsider, even thugh she’s stayed in the cuntry fr years and can speak the lcal language fluently, she said.
28.Why des Cjchru have t take a language test?
A. T cntinue t stay in Italy.B. T teach her children Italian.
C. T find a better jb in Italy.D. T better mix with the Italians.
29.Sme peple wrry that the new language requirement may .
A. reduce Italy’s ppulatin quicklyB. cause cnflicts amng peple
C. lead t financial difficultiesD. put pressure n schls
30.What d we knw abut Cjchru?
A. She lives with her sister nw in Italy.
B. She enjys learning the Italian language.
C. She speaks Italian well enugh fr her jb.
D. She wishes t g back t her hme cuntry.
【解析】试题分析：本文属于夹叙夹议文，首先叙述了一个叫Svetlana Cjchru的摩尔多瓦人移民到意大利，但为了能够继续留在意大利，她必须进行语言测试；接着向我们阐述对外来人进行语言测试的原因以及对此的不同声音，然后介绍了意大利的移民史，最后告诉我们Cjchru的居住现状：工资水平很低，而且虽然在意大利生活多年，但意大利本地居民仍会把她当作外国人来看。
28. A 【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中的＂but in rder t stay she’s had t prve her language skills by taking a test…＂可知，Cjchru是为了能够继续留在意大利才要参加语言考试的，故选A。
29. B 【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段中的＂such measures will becme mre a vehicle fr intlerance than integratin＂可知一些人担心对语言水平的要求可能会引起人与人之间的不包容，即冲突，故选B。
30. C 【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的＂even thugh she’s stayed in the cuntry fr years and can speak the lcal language fluently＂可知Cjchru的意大利语已经说的得很流利了，故选C。
Passage 3
【2017年北京卷】Hllywd’s thery that machines with evil(邪恶) minds will drive armies f killer rbts is just silly. The real prblem relates t the pssibility that artificial intelligence(AI) may becme extremely gd at achieving smething ther than what we really want. In 1960 a well-knwn mathematician Nrbert Wiener, wh funded the field f cybernetics（控制论）, put it this way: ＂If we use, t achieve ur purpses, a mechanical agency with whse peratin we cannt effectively interfere(干预), we had better be quite sure that the purpse put int the machine is the purpse which we really desire.＂
A machine with a specific purpse has anther quality, ne that we usually assciate with living things: a wish t preserve its wn existence. Fr the machine, this quality is nt in-brn, nr is it smething intrduced by humans; it is a lgical cnsequence f the simple fact that the machine cannt achieve its riginal purpse if it is dead. S if we send ut a rbt with the single instructin f fetching cffee, it will have a strng desire t secure success by disabling its wn ff switch r even killing anyne wh might interfere with its task. If we are nt careful, then, we culd face a kind f glbal chess match against very determined, super intelligent machines whse bjectives cnflict with ur wn, with the real wrld as the chessbard.
The pssibility f entering int and lsing such a match shuld cncentrate the minds f cmputer scientists. Sme researchers argue that we can seal the machines inside a kind f firewall, using them t answer difficult questins but never allwing them t affect the real wrld. Unfrtunately, that plan seems unlikely t wrk: we have yet t invent a firewall that is secure against rdinary humans, let alne super intelligent machines.
Slving the safety prblem well enugh t mve frward in AI seems t be pssible but nt easy. There are prbably decades in which t plan fr the arrival f super intelligent machines. But the prblem shuld nt be dismissed ut f hand, as it has been by sme AI researchers. Sme argue that humans and machines can cexist as lng as they wrk in teams—yet that is nt pssible unless machines share the gals f humans. Others say we can just ＂switch them ff＂ as if super intelligent machines are t stupid t think f that pssibility. Still thers think that super intelligent AI will never happen. On September 11, 1933, famus physicist Ernest Rutherfrd stated, with cnfidence, ＂Anyne wh expects a surce f pwer in the transfrmatin f these atms is talking mnshine.＂ Hwever, n September 12, 1933, physicist Le Szilard invented the neutrn-induced(中子诱导) nuclear chain reactin.
67. Paragraph 1 mainly tells us that artificial intelligence may ____________.
A. run ut f human cntrl
B. satisfy human’s real desires
C. cmmand armies f killer rbts
D. wrk faster than a mathematician
68. Machines with specific purpses are assciated with living things partly because they might be able t ____________.
A. prevent themselves frm being destryed
B. achieve their riginal gals independently
C. d anything successfully with given rders
D. beat humans in internatinal chess matches
69. Accrding t sme researchers, we can use firewalls t ____________.
A. help super intelligent machines wrk better
B. be secure against evil human beings
C. keep machines frm being harmed
D. avid rbts’ affecting the wrld
70. What des the authr think f the safety prblem f super intelligent machines?
A. It will disappear with the develpment f AI.
B. It will get wrse with human interference.
C. It will be slved but with difficulty.
D. It will stay fr a decade.
【答案】67 A 68 A 69 D 70 C
【解析】试题分析：本文主要介绍了人工智能及它给我们的生活带来的影响。
67. 推理判断题。根据第一段The real prblem relates t the pssibility that artificial intelligence(AI) may becme extremely gd at achieving smething ther than what we really want.可知人工智能可能会出现的真正问题是AI会非常擅长取得某个成就而不是我们真正想要的东西，也就是说AI可能会超出人的控制去做一些事情，故选A。
68. 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句A machine with a specific purpse has anther quality, ne that we usually assciate with living things: a wish t preserve its wn existence.可知，原因是保护它自己的存在的一种愿望，也就是说，它具有有生命的物体的一种品质是因为它要保护自己不被破坏，继续存在下去，故选A。
69. 推理判断题。根据第三段using them t answer difficult questins but never allwing them t affect the real wrld.可知可以用防火墙来回答那些困难的问题但是却永远不要让他们影响这个真正的现实世界，所以选D。
70. 推理判断题。根据最后一段Slving the safety prblem well enugh t mve frward in AI seems t be pssible but nt easy.可知作者认为解决人工智能机器的安全问题是可能的，但是并不容易，也就是很困难，故选C。
Passage 4
【2017年江苏卷】Old Prblem, New Appraches
While clean energy is increasingly used in ur daily life, glbal warming will cntinue fr sme decades after CO2 emissins(排放) peak. S even if emissins were t begin t decrease tday, we wuld still face the challenge f adapting t climate change. Here I will stress sme smarter and mre creative examples f climate adaptatin.
When it cmes t adaptatin, it is imprtant t understand that climate change is a prcess. We are therefre nt talking abut adapting t a new standard, but t a cnstantly shifting set f cnditins. This is why, in part at least, the US Natinal Climate Assessment says that: "There is n ‘ne-size fits all’ adaptatin." Nevertheless, there are sme actins that ffer much and carry little risk r cst.
Arund the wrld, peple are adapting in surprising ways, especially in sme pr cuntries. Flds have becme mre damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades. Mhammed Rezwan saw pprtunity where thers saw nly disaster. His nt-fr-prfit rganizatin runs 100 river bats that serve as flating libraries, schls, and health clinics, and are equipped with slar panels and ther cmmunicating facilities. Rezwan is creating flating cnnectivity(连接) t replace flded rads and highways. But he is als wrking at a far mre fundamental level: his staff shw peple hw t make flating gardens and fish pnds t prevent starvatin during the wet seasn.
Elsewhere in Asia even mre astnishing actins are being taken. Chewang Nrphel lives in a muntainus regin in India, where he is knwn as the Ice Man. The lss f glaciers(冰川) there due t glbal warming represents an enrmus threat t agriculture. Withut the glaciers, water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crps. Nrphel’s inspiratin came frm seeing the waste f water ver winter, when it was nt needed. He directed the wasted water int shallw basins where it frze, and was stred until the spring. His fields f ice supply perfectly timed irrigatin(灌溉) water. Having created nine such ice reserves, Nrphel calculates that he has stred abut 200,000m3f water. Climate change is a cntinuing prcess, s Nrphel’s ice reserves will nt last frever. Warming will vertake them. But he is prviding a few years during which the farmers will, perhaps, be able t find ther means f adapting.
Increasing Earth’s reflectiveness can cl the planet. In suthern Spain the sudden increase f greenhuses(which reflect light back t space) has changed the warming trend lcally, and actually cled the regin. While Spain as a whle is heating up quickly, temperatures near the greenhuses have decreased. This example shuld act as an inspiratin fr all cities. By painting buildings white, cities may slw dwn the warming prcess.
In Peru, lcal farmers arund a muntain with a glacier that has already fallen victim t climate change have begun painting the entire muntain peak white in the hpe that the added reflectiveness will restre the life-giving ice. The utcme is still far frm clear. But the Wrld Bank has included the prject n its list f "100 ideas t save the planet".
Mre rdinary frms f adaptatin are happening everywhere. A friend f mine wns an area f land in western Victria. Over five generatins the land has been t wet fr crpping. But during the past decade declining rainfall has allwed him t plant highly prfitable crps. Farmers in many cuntries are als adapting like this — either by grwing new prduce, r by grwing the same things differently. This is cmmn sense. But sme suggestins fr adapting are nt. When the plluting industries argue that we’ve lst the battle t cntrl carbn pllutin and have n chice but t adapt, it’s a nnsense designed t make the case fr business as usual.
Human beings will cntinue t adapt t the changing climate in bth rdinary and astnishing ways. But the mst sensible frm f adaptatin is surely t adapt ur energy systems t emit less carbn pllutin. After all, if we adapt in that way, we may avid the need t change in s many thers.
65. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 implies .
A. adaptatin is an ever-changing prcess
B. the cst f adaptatin varies with time
C. glbal warming affects adaptatin frms
D. adaptatin t climate change is challenging
66. What is special with regard t Rezwan’s prject?
A. The prject receives gvernment supprt.
B. Different rganizatins wrk with each ther.
C. His rganizatin makes the best f a bad situatin.
D. The prject cnnects flded rads and highways.
67. What did the Ice Man d t reduce the effect f glbal warming?
A. String ice fr future use.
B. Prtecting the glaciers frm melting.
C. Changing the irrigatin time.
D. Pstpning the melting f the glaciers.
68. What d we learn frm the Peru example?
A. White paint is usually safe fr buildings.
B. The glbal warming trend cannt be stpped.
C. This cuntry is heating up t quickly.
D. Sunlight reflectin may relieve glbal warming.
69. Accrding t the authr, plluting industries shuld .
A. adapt t carbn pllutinB. plant highly prfitable crps
C. leave carbn emissin alneD. fight against carbn pllutin
70. What’s the authr’s preferred slutin t glbal warming?
A. Setting up a new standard.B. Reducing carbn emissin.
C. Adapting t climate change.D. Mnitring plluting industries.
【答案】65. A 66. C 67. A 68.D 69.D 70. B
【解析】文章大意：文章关注的是我们熟悉的话题——气候变暖，不同的是，文章给出了一些应对气候变暖的新途径。
65.A 【解析】考查句意理解。根据上文中的"We are t a cnstantly shifting set f cnditins"可知，对于不断变化的环境，没有一个通用的方法来解决所有这样的问题。故画线部分暗示的是适应环境也是一个不断变化的过程。故A正确。
66.C 【解析】考查细节理解。根据第三段首句可知，世界范围内尤其是一些贫穷地区的人们使用了令人意想不到的方法去适应环境的改变，化劣势为优势，再结合下文的内容可知，Rezwan就是这么做的，故答案为C。
67.A 【解析】考查细节理解。由第四段中的" directed the wasted water int shallw basins where it frze， and was stred until the spring..."可知，他把水引入盆地，水在那里结冰并被存储到春天使用，故A正确。
68.D 【解析】考查细节理解。根据第六段的内容可知，在秘鲁当地的农民会把整个山峰涂成白色来增强对阳光的反射，希望借此来保护冰不被融化，再结合第五段的内容可知，反射太阳光可能会减轻全球变暖，故D项正确。
69.D 【解析】考查推理判断。根据第七段中的"When the plluting industries argue that we’ve lst the battle t cntrl carbn pllutin and have n chice but t adapt"可知，污染行业辩称因为人们没有赢得治理碳污染的战役，只能适应，再结合下文的"it’s a nnsense designed t make the case fr business as usual"可知，作者认为污染行业的这种说法是荒谬的，其目的是给自己的商业行为制造借口。由此可推知，对于污染行业来说，负责任的做法是同碳污染抗争，以减少碳排放，故D正确。
70.B 【解析】考查细节理解。根据最后一段第二句"But the mst sensible frm f adaptatin is surely t adapt ur energy systems t emit less carbn pllutin"可知，作者认为最明智的应对全球变暖的方法是减少碳排放，故B正确。
Passage 5
【2017年天津卷】I read smewhere that we spend a full third f ur lives waiting. But where are we ding all f this waiting, and what des it mean t an impatient sciety like urs? T understand the issue, let’s take a lk at three types f “waits”.
The very purest frm f waiting is the Watched-Pt Wait. It is withut dubt the mst annying f all. Take filling up the kitchen sink(洗碗池) as an example. There is abslutely nthing yu can d while this is ging n but keep bth eyes fixed n the sink until it’s full. During these waits, the brain slips away frm the bdy and wanders abut until the water runs ver the edge f the cunter and nt yur scks. This kind f wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.
A cusin t the Watched-Pt Wait is the Frced Wait. This ne requires a bit f discipline. Prperly preparing packaged ndle sup requires a Frced Wait. Directins are very specific. “Bring three cups f water t bil, add mix, simmer three minutes, remve frm heat, let stand five minutes.” I have my dubts that anyne has actually fllwed the prcedures strictly. After all, Frced Waiting requires patience.
Perhaps the mst pwerful type f waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This type f wait is unusual in that it is fr the mst part vluntary. Unlike the Frced Wait, which is als vluntary, waiting fr yur lucky break des nt necessarily mean that it will happen.
Turning ne’s life int a waiting game requires faith and hpe, and is strictly fr the ptimists amng us. On the surface it seems as ridiculus as fllwing the directins n sup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves thse wh are willing t d it. As lng as ne desn’t cme t rely n it, wishing fr a few gd things t happen never hurts anybdy.
We certainly d spend a gd deal f ur time waiting. The next time yu’re standing at the sink waiting fr it t fill while cking ndle sup that yu’ll have t eat until a large bag f cash falls ut f the sky, dn’t be desperate. Yu’re prbably just as busy as the next guy.
51. While ding a Watched-Pt Wait, we tend t ___________.
A. keep urselves busy
B. get absent-minded
C. grw anxius
D. stay fcused
52. What is the difference between the Frced Wait and the Watched-Pt Wait?
A. The Frced Wait requires sme self-cntrl.
B. The Frced Wait makes peple passive.
C. The Watched-Pt Wait needs directins.
D. The Watched-Pt Wait engages bdy and brain.
53. What can we learn abut the Lucky-Break Wait?
A. It is less vluntary than the Frced Wait.
B. It desn’t always bring the desired result.
C. It is mre fruitful than the Frced Wait.
D. It desn’t give peple faith and hpe.
54. What des the authr advise us t d the next time we are waiting?
A. Take it seriusly.
B. Dn’t rely n thers.
C. D smething else.
D. Dn’t lse heart.
55. The authr supprts his view by ____________.
A. explring varius causes f “waits”
B. describing detailed prcesses f “waits”
C. analyzing different categries f “waits”
D. revealing frustrating cnsequences f “waits”

Passage1
【2016年新课标Ⅲ卷】Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. N news is gd news, and gd news is n news. Thse are the classic rules fr the evening bradcasts and the mrning papers. But nw that infrmatin is being spread and mnitred(监控) in different ways, researchers are discvering new rules. By tracking peple’s e-mails and nline psts, scientists have fund that gd news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sb stries.
＂The ‘if it bleeds’ rule wrks fr mass media,＂ says Jnah Berger, a schlar at the University f Pennsylvania. ＂They want yur eyeballs and dn’t care hw yu’re feeling. But when yu share a stry with yur friends, yu care a lt mre hw they react. Yu dn’t want them t think f yu as a Debbie Dwner.＂
Researchers analyzing wrd-f-muth cmmunicatin — e-mails, Web psts and reviews, face-t-face cnversatins — fund that it tended t be mre psitive than negative(消极的), but that didn’t necessarily mean peple preferred psitive news. Was psitive news shared mre ften simply because peple experienced mre gd things than bad things? T test fr that pssibility, Dr. Berger lked at hw peple spread a particular set f news stries: thusands f articles n The New Yrk Times’ website. He and a Penn clleague analyzed the ＂mst e-mailed＂ list fr six mnths. One f his first findings was that articles in the science sectin were much mre likely t make the list than nn-science articles. He fund that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want t share this psitive feeling with thers.
Readers als tended t share articles that were exciting r funny, r that inspired negative feelings like anger r anxiety, but nt articles that left them merely sad. They needed t be arused(激发) ne way r the ther, and they preferred gd news t bad. The mre psitive an article, the mre likely it was t be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new bk, ＂Cntagius: Why Things Catch On.＂
32. What d the classic rules mentined in the text apply t?
A. News reprts.B. Research papers.
C. Private e-mails.D. Daily cnversatins.
33. What can we infer abut peple like Debbie Dwner?
A. They’re scially inactive.
B. They’re gd at telling stries.
C. They’re incnsiderate f thers.
D. They’re careful with their wrds.
34. Which tended t be the mst e-mailed accrding t Dr. Berger’s research?
A. Sprts news.B. Science articles.
C. Persnal accunts.D. Financial reviews.
35. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Sad Stries Travel Far and Wide.
B. Online News Attracts Mre Peple.
C. Reading Habits Change with the Times.
D. Gd News Beats Bad n Scial Netwrks.
【答案】32. A33. C34. B35. D
【解析】试题分析：人们常说＂没有消息就是最好的消息＂。类似的传统说法只适合于大众媒体，在网络普及的时代，好消息在网络上的传播速度比坏消息要快很多。
32. A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的＂The ‘if it bleeds’ rule wrks fr mass media＂可知，像＂it bleeds＂这样的传统说法适用于大众媒体，故选A。
33. C 推理判断题。根据＂yu care a lt mre hw they react＂可知，你非常在乎朋友听完你讲的故事后的反应，根据＂Yu dn’t want them t think f yu as a Debbie Dwner.＂可知，你不想被当作一个＂Debbie Dwner＂，说明Debbie Dwner指的是＂一个不为他人考虑的人＂，故选C。
34. B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的＂articles in the science sectin were much mre likely t make the list than nn-science articles＂可知，科技类的文章比非科技类的更有可能被人们讨论，故选B。
35. D 标题选择题。根据第一段中的＂By tracking peple’s e-mails and nline psts, scientists have fund that gd news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sb stries.＂可知，好消息在网络上传播得更快，影响更深远，说明文章主要讲的是好消息通过网络的传播，故选D。
Passage 2
【2016年浙江卷】"Did yu hear what happened t Adam last Friday?" Lindsey whispers t Tri.
With her eyes shining, Tri brags, "Yu bet I did. Sean tld me tw days ag."
Wh are Lindsey and Tri talking abut? It just happens t be yurs truly, Adam Freedman. I can tell yu that what they are saying is (a) nt nice and (b) nt even true. Still, Lindsey and Tri aren’t very different frm mst students here at Lintn High Schl, including me. Many f ur cnversatins are gssip(闲话). I have nticed three effects f gssip: it can hurt peple, it can give gssipers a strange kind f satisfactin, and it can cause scial pressures in a grup.
An imprtant negative effect f gssip is that it can hurt the persn being talked abut. Usually, gssip spreads infrmatin abut a tpic — breakups, truble at hme, even drpping ut — that a persn wuld rather keep secret. The mre embarrassing r shameful the secret is, the juicier the gssip it makes. Prbably the wrst type f gssip is the abslute lie. Peple ften think f gssipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain.
If we knw that gssip can be harmful, then why d s many f us d it? The answer lies in anther effect f gssip: the satisfactin it gives us. Sharing the latest rumr(传言) can make a persn feel imprtant because he r she knws smething that thers dn’t. Similarly, hearing the latest rumr can make a persn feel like part f the "in grup." In ther wrds, gssip is satisfying because it gives peple a sense f belnging r even superirity(优越感).
Gssip als can have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspken rules abut hw peple shuld act. Prfessr David Wilsn explains that gssip is imprtant in plicing behavirs in a grup. Translated int high schl terms, this means that if everybdy yu hang arund with is laughing at what Jhn wre r what Jane said, then yu can bet that wearing r saying smething similar will get yu the same kind f negative attentin. The d’s and dn’ts cnveyed thrugh gssip will never shw up in any student handbk.
The effects f gssip vary depending n the situatin. The next time yu feel the urge t spread the latest news, think abut why yu want t gssip and what effects yur "juicy stry" might have.
41.The authr uses a cnversatin at the beginning f the passage t ___________.
A. intrduce a tpicB. present an argument
C. describe the charactersD. clarify his writing purpse
42.An imprtant negative effect f gssip is that it ___________.
A. breaks up relatinshipsB. embarrasses the listener
C. spreads infrmatin arundD. causes unpleasant experiences
43.In the authr’s pinin, many peple like t gssip because it ___________.
A. gives them a feeling f pleasure
B. helps them t make mre friends
C. makes them better at telling stries
D. enables them t meet imprtant peple
44.Prfessr David Wilsn thinks that gssip can ___________.
A. prvide students with written rules
B. help peple watch their wn behavirs
C. frce schls t imprve student handbks
D. attract the plice’s attentin t grup behavirs
45.What advice des the authr give in the passage?
A. Never becme a gssiper.B. Stay away frm gssipers.
C. Dn’t let gssip turn int lies.D. Think twice befre yu gssip.

Passage 3
【2016年北京卷】Why Cllege Is Nt Hme
The cllege years are suppsed t be a time fr imprtant grwth in autnmy(自主性) and the develpment f adult identity. Hwever, nw they are becming an extended perid f adlescence, during which many f tday’s students and are nt shuldered with adult respnsibilities.
Fr previus generatins, cllege was a decisive break frm parental cntrl; guidance and supprt needed t cme frm peple f the same age and frm within. In the past tw decades, hwever, cntinued cnnectin with and dependence n family, thanks t cell phnes, email and scial media, have increased significantly. Sme parents g s far as t help with cursewrk. Instead f prmting the idea f cllege as a passage frm the shelter f the family t autnmy and adult respnsibility, universities have given in t the idea that they shuld prvide the same envirnment as that f the hme.
T prepare fr increased autnmy and respnsibility, cllege needs t be a time f explratin and experimentatin. This prcess invlves ＂trying n ＂ new ways f thinking abut neself bther intellectually(在思维方面) and persnally. While we shuld prvide ＂safe spaces＂ within clleges, we must als make it safe t express pinins and challenge majrity views. Intellectual grwth and flexibility are fstered by strict debate and questining.
Learning t deal with the scial wrld is equally imprtant. Because a cllege cmmunity(群体) differs frm the family, many students will struggle t find a sense f belnging. If students rely n administratrs t regulate their scial behavir and thinking pattern, they are nt facing the challenge f finding an identity within a larger and cmplex cmmunity.
Mrever, the tendency fr universities t mnitr and shape student behavir runs up against anther characteristic f yung adults: the respnse t being cntrlled by their elders. If acceptable scial behavir is t strictly defined(规定) and cntrlled, the insensitive r aggressive behavir that administratrs are seeking t minimize may actually be encuraged.
It is nt surprising that yung peple are likely t burst ut, particularly when there are reasns t d s. Our generatin nce jined hands and std firm at times f natinal emergency. What is lacking tday is the cnflict between adlescent’s desire fr autnmy and their understanding f an unsafe wrld. Therefre, there is the desire fr their drms t be replacement hmes and nt places t experience intellectual grwth.
Every cllege discussin abut cmmunity values, scial climate and behavir shuld include recgnitin f the develpmental imprtance f student autnmy and self-regulatin, f the necessary tensin between safety and self-discvery.
67. What’s the authr’s attitude tward cntinued parental guidance t cllege students?
A. Sympathetic. B. Disapprving.
C. Supprtive. D. Neutral.
68. The underlined wrd ＂passage＂ in Paragraph 2 means _________.
A. change B. chice
C. text D. extensin
69. Accrding t the authr, what rle shuld cllege play?
A. T develp a shared identity amng students.
B. T define and regulate students’ scial behavir.
C. T prvide a safe wrld withut tensin fr students.
D. T fster students’ intellectual and persnal develpment.
70. Which f the fllwing shws the develpment f ideas in the passage?
I: Intrductin P:Pint Sp:Sub-pint(次要点) C:Cnclusin
【答案】67. B 68. A 69. D 70. C
【解析】试题分析：大学并不是温暖的家，也不能成为学生的家。大学时期应该是培养自主性和自我同一性的重要时期，大学是孩子脱离父母控制的决定性时期，因此，学校不应该成为像家庭一样让孩子依赖的地方。

Passage 4
【2016年上海卷】 Is there link between humans and climate change r nt? This questin was first studied in the early 1900s. Since then, many scientists have thught that ur actins d make a difference. In 1997, the Kyt Prtcl explained ur rle in the Earth’s changing atmsphere and set internatinal limits fr gas emissins(排放) frm 2008 t 2012. Sme cuntries have decided t cntinue these reductins until 2020. Mre recently, the Paris Agreement, stuck by nearly 200 cuntries, als aims t limit glbal warming. But just nw hw much warmer it will get depends n hw deeply cuntries cut carbn emissins.
3.5℃
This is hw much temperatures wuld rise by 2100 even if natins live up t the initial Paris prmises t reduce carbn emissins; this rise culd still put castal cities under water and drive ver half f all species t extinctin.
2℃
T meet this minimum gal, the Agreement requires cuntries t tighten emissins targets every five years. Even this increase culd sink sme islands, wrse drught(干旱) and drive a decline f up t a third in the number f species.
1.5℃
This is the mst ambitius gal fr temperature rise set by the Paris Agreement, after a push by lw-lying island natins like Kiribati, which say limiting temperature rise t 1.5℃ culd save them frm sinking.

0.8℃
This is hw much temperatures have risen since the industrial age began, putting us 40% f the way t the 2℃ pint.
0℃
The baseline here is average glbal temperature befre the start f the industrial age.
70. It can be cncluded frm paragraph 1 that _______.
A. the prblem f glbal warming will have been quite slved by 2020
B. gas emissins have been effectively reduced in develped cuntries
C. the Paris Agreements is mre influential than the Kyt Prtcl
D. humans have made cntinuus effrts t slw dwn glbal warming
71. If natins culd nly keep the initial prmises f the Paris Agreement, what wuld happen by the year 2100?
A. The human ppulatin wuld increase by ne third.
B. Little ver 50% f all species wuld still exist.
C. Natins wuld nt need t tighten their emissins targets.
D. The Agreement’s minimum gal wuld nt be reached.
72. If thse island natins nt far abve sea level are t survive, the maximum temperature rise, since the start f the industrial age, shuld be_______.
A. 0.8℃ B. 1.5℃
C. 2℃ D. 3.5℃
【答案】70. D 71. D 72. B
【解析】试题分析：本文介绍了人们一直努力减少温室气体的排放，并设立了到2100年我们应该达成的目标以及达成目标要符合的条件。
70.D 推理判断题。根据文章第一段第三句至第六句＂Since then, many scientists have thught that ur actins d make a difference. In 1997, the Kyt by nearly 200 cuntries, als aims t limit glbal warming.＂可知自从20世纪早期开始人类就一直在努力减少温室气体的排放，希望能减缓全球变暖的趋势。故D项正确。
71.D 推理判断题。根据文章第二段This is hw much temperatures wuld rise by 2100 even if natins live up t the initial Paris prmises t reduce carbn emissins…可知如果各国的气体排放能够符合巴黎协议的要求，到2100年气温会比现在高三度。而根据第三段T meet this minimum gal可知最小的目标是上升两度。也就是说即使各国的气体排放能够符合巴黎协议的要求，也达不到最小的目标。故D正确。
72.B 细节理解题。根据第四段1.5℃中的This is the mst ambitius gal fr temperature rise set by the Paris Agreement, after a push by lw-lying island natins like Kiribati, which say limiting temperature rise t 1.5℃ culd save them frm sinking.可知对于那些低海拔的国家来说温度上升不超过1.5度，就可以避免他们被淹没。故B正确。

Passage 6
【2016年天津卷】Failure is prbably the mst exhausting experience a persn ever has. There is nthing mre tiring than nt succeeding.
We experience this tiredness in tw ways: as start-up fatigue(疲惫) and perfrmance fatigue. In the frmer case, we keep putting ff a task because it has either t bring r t difficult. And the lnger we delay it, the mre tired we feel.
Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if nt actually physical, nt smething in ur muscles and bnes. The slutin is bvius thugh perhaps nt easy t apply: always handle the mst difficult jb first.
Years ag, I was asked t write 102 essays n the great ideas f sme famus authrs. Applying my wn rule, I determined t write them in alphabetical rder(按字母顺序), never letting myself leave ut a tugh idea. And I always started the day’s wrk with the difficult task f essay-writing. Experience prved that the rule wrks.
Perfrmance fatigue is mre difficult t handle. Thugh willing t get started, we cannt seem t d the jb right. Its difficulties appear s great that, hwever hard we wrk, we fail again and again. In such a situatin, I wrk as hard as I can — then let the uncnscius take ver.
When planning Encyclpaedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》), I had t create a table f cntents based n the tpics f its articles. Nthing like this had ever been dne befre, and day after day I kept cming up with slutins, but nne f them wrked. My fatigue became almst unbearable.
One day, mentally exhausted, I wrte dwn all the reasns why this prblem culd nt be slved. I tried t cnvince myself that the truble was with the prblem itself, nt with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.
An hur later, I wke up suddenly with the slutin clearly in mind. In the weeks that fllwed, the slutin which had cme up in my uncnscius mind prved crrect at every step. Thugh I wrked as hard as befre, I felt n fatigue. Success was nw as exciting as failure had been depressing.
Human beings, I believe must try t succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.
51. Peple with start-up fatigue are mst likely t _____________.
A. delay tasksB. wrk hardC. seek helpD. accept failure
52. What des the authr recmmend ding t prevent start-up fatigue?

A. Befre starting a difficult task.
B. When all the slutins fail.
C. If the jb is rather bring.
D. After finding a way ut.
54. Accrding t the authr, the uncnscius mind may help us _____________.
A. ignre mental prblemsB. get sme nice sleep
C. gain cmplete reliefD. find the right slutin
55. What culd be the best title fr the passage?

Passage 2
【2015年浙江卷】If humans were truly at hme under the light f the mn and stars，we wuld g in darkness happily, the midnight wrld as visible t us as it is t the vast number f ncturnal(夜间活动的) species n this planet. Instead, we are diurnal creatures, with eyes adapted t living in the sun's light. This is a basic evlutinary fact, even thugh mst f us dn't think f urselves as diurnal beings. Yet it's the nly way t explain what we've dne t the night: We've engineered it t receive us by filling it with light.
The benefits f this kind f engineering cme with cnsequences — called light pllutin — whse effects scientists are nly nw beginning t study. Light pllutin is largely the result f bad lighting design, which allws artificial light t shine utward and upward int the sky. Ⅲ-designed lighting washes ut the darkness f night and cmpletely changes the light levels — and light rhythms — t which many frms f life, including, urselves, have adapted. Wherever human light spills int the natural wrld, sme aspect f life is affected.
In mst cities the sky lks as thugh it has been emptied f stars, leaving behind a vacant haze(霾) that mirrrs ur fear f the dark. We've grwn s used t this range haze that the riginal glry f an unlit nigh, - dark enugh fr the planet Venus t thrw shadw n Earth, is whlly beynd ur experience, beynd memry almst.
We’ve lit up the night as if it were an unccupied cuntry, when nthing culd be further frm the truth. Amng mammals alne, the number f ncturnal species is astnishing, Light is a pwerful bilgical frce, and n many species it acts as a magnet(磁铁). The effect is s pwerful that scientists speak f sngbirds and seabirds being“captured”by searchlights n land r by the light frm gas flares n marine il platfrms. Migrating at night, birds tend t cllide with brightly lit tall buildings.
Frgs living near brightly lit highways suffer ncturnal light levels that are as much as a millin times brighter than nrmal, thrwing nearly every aspect f their behavir ut f jint, including their nighttime breeding chruses. Humans are n less trapped by light pllutin than the frgs. Like mst ther creatures, we d need darkness .Darkness is as essential t ur bilgical welfare, t ur internal clckwrk, as light itself.
Living in a glare f ur making, we have cut urselves ff frm ur evlutinary and cultural heritage—the light f the stars and the rhythms f day and night .In a very real sense, light pllutin causes us t lse sight f ur true place in the universe, t frget the scale f ur being, which is best measured against the dimensins f a deep night with the Milky Way — the edge f ur galaxy — arching verhead.
50. Accrding t the passage, human beings .
A. prefer t live in the darkness
B. are used t living in the day light
C. were curius abut the midnight wrld
D. had t stay at hme with the light f the mn
51. What des “it”(Paragraph 1) mst prbably refer t?

A. light pllutin dse harm t the eyesight f animals
B. light pllutin has destryed sme f the wrld heritages
C. human beings cannt g t the uter space
D. human beings shuld reflect n their psitin in the universe
54.What might be the best title fr the passage?
A. The Magic Light.B. The Orange Haze.
C. The Disappearing Night.D. The Rhythms f Nature.
【解析】试题分析：文章介绍了光污染对于动物和人类的影响，呼吁我们反思我们的行为。
50.B 细节理解题 根据第一段第三行“ with eyes adapted t living in the sun’s light眼睛适应了太阳的光线” 可以知道答案。其中adapted t 和used t 同义，意为习惯于。
53.D 推理题，最后一段的意思是” Living in a glare f ur making ,we have cut urselves ff frm ur evlutinary and cultural heritage—the light f the stars and the rhythms f day and night .In a very real sense light pllutin causes us t lse sight f ur true place in the universe, t frget the scale f ur being, which is best measured against the dimensins f a deep night with the Milky Way—the edge f ur galaxy arching verhead.生活在一个刺眼世界，我们已经远离了进化和文化遗产：星星和昼夜节律的光。在一个非常真实的意义上，光污染使我们在宇宙中失去真我，而这些失去的正好就是最好的测量银河系银河深夜的工具。“ 根据语意，不难得出答案是D. human beings shuld reflect n their psitin in the universe人类应该反思自己的行为。但此题易错选B，之所以不选B是因为sme f 的表达是扩大了说法，以偏概全。
54.C 标题题，根据，文章出现最多的就是light和night, 我们可以知道答案是C。之所以不选A，是因为它所使用的形容词Magic意思是奇幻的，这个单词具有褒义的意思。而C选项的disappearing 是消失的，这符合本文的语境，让我们反思。

Passage 4
【2015年北京卷】 Technlgical change is everywhere and affects every aspect f life, mstly fr the better. Hwever, scial changes are brught abut by new technlgy are ften mistaken fr a change in attitudes.
An example at hand is the invlvement f parents in the lives f their children wh are attending cllege. Surveys (调查) n this tpic suggests that parents tday cntinue t be ＂very＂r ＂smewhat＂verly-prtective even after their children mve int cllege drmitries. The same surveys als indicate that the rate f parental invlvement is greater tday than it was a generatin ag. This is usually interpreted as a sign that tday’s parents are trying t manage their children’s lives past the pint where this behavir is apprpriate.
Hwever, greater parental invlvement des nt necessarily indicate that parents are failing t let g f their ＂adult＂ children.
In the cntext (背景) f this discussin, it seems valuable t first find ut the cause f change in the case f parents’ invlvement with their grwn children. If parents f earlier generatins had wanted t be in tuch with their cllege-age children frequently, wuld this have been pssible? Prbably nt. On the ther hand, des the pssibility f frequent cmmunicatin tday mean that the urge t d s wasn’t present a generatin ag? Many studies shw that lder parents — tday’s grandparents — wuld have called their children mre ften if the means and cst f ding s had nt been a barrier.
Furthermre, studies shw that finances are the mst frequent subject f cmmunicatin between parents and their cllege children. The fact that cllege students are financially dependent n their parents is nthing new; nr are requests fr mre mney t be sent frm hme. This phenmenn is neither gd nr bad; it is a fact f cllege life, tday and in the past.
Thanks t the advanced technlgy, we live in an age f bettered cmmunicatin. This has many implicatins well beynd the rle that parents seem t play in the lives f their children wh have left fr cllege. But it is useful t bear in mind that all such changes cme frm the technlgy and nt sme imagined desire by parents t keep their children under their wings.
67. The surveys infrm us f __________.
A. the develpment f technlgy
B. the changes f adult children’s behavir
C. the parents’ ver-prtectin f their cllege children
D. the means and expenses f students’ cmmunicatin
68. The writer believes that __________.
A. parents tday are mre prtective than thse in the past
B. the disadvantages f new technlgy utweigh its advantages
C. technlgy explains greater invlvement with their children
D. parents’ changed attitudes lead t cllege children’s delayed independence
69. What is the best title fr the passage?
A. Technlgy r Attitude
B. Dependence r Independence
C. Family Influences r Scial Changes
D. Cllege Management r Cmmunicatin Advancement

Passage 5
【2015年广东卷】Daniel Andersn, a famus psychlgist, believes it’s imprtant t distinguish televisin’s influences n children frm thse f the family. We tend t blame TV, he says, fr prblems it desn’t really cause, verlking ur wn rles in shaping children’s minds.
One traditinal belief abut televisin is that it reduces a child’s ability t think and t understand the wrld. While watching TV, children d nt merely absrb wrds and images(影像). Instead, they learn bth explicit and hidden meanings frm what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychlgy f characters in TV shws. Furthermre, as many teachers agree, children understand far mre when parents watch TV with them, explaining new wrds and ideas. Yet, mst parents use an educatinal prgram as a chance t park their kids in frnt f the set and d smething in anther rm.
Anther argument against televisin is that it replaces reading as a frm f entertainment. But accrding t Andersn, the amunt f time spent watching televisin is nt related t reading ability. TV desn’t take the place f reading fr mst children; it takes the place f similar srts f recreatin, such as listening t the radi and playing sprts. Things like parents’ educatinal backgrund have a strnger influence n a child’s reading. "A child’s reading ability is best predicted by hw much a parent reads," Andersn says.
Traditinal wisdm als has it that heavy televisin-watching lwers IQ(智商)scres and affects schl perfrmance. But here, t, Andersn ntes that n studies have prved it. In fact, research suggests that it’s the ther way arund. "If yu’re smart yung, yu’ll watch less TV when yu’re lder," Andersn says. Yet, peple f lwer IQ tend t be lifelng televisin viewers.
Fr years researchers have attempted t shw that televisin is dangerus t children. Hwever, by shwing that televisin prmtes nne f the dangerus effects as cnventinally believed, Andersn suggests that televisin cannt be cndemned withut cnsidering ther influences.
36.By watching TV, children learn __________.
A. images thrugh wrdsB. mre than explicit meanings
C. mre abut images than wrdsD. little abut peple’s psychlgy
37.An educatinal prgram is best watched by a child___________.
A. n his wnB. with ther kids
C. with his parents D. with his teachers
38.Which f the fllwing is mst related t children’s reading ability?
A. Radi-listening.B. Televisin-watching.
C. Parents’ reading list.D. Parents’ educatinal backgrund.
39.Andersn believes that .
A. the mre a child watches TV, the smarter he is
B. the yunger a child is, the mre he watches TV
C. the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted t TV
D. the less a child watches TV, the better he perfrms at schl
40.What is the main purpse f the passage?
A. T advise n the educatinal use f TV.
B. T describe TV’s harmful effects n children.
C. T explain traditinal views n TV influences.
D. T present Andersn’s uncnventinal ideas.
【解析】试题分析：本文叙述著名心理学家Daniel Andersn对孩子们看电视的看法，打破了以往人们认为看电视对孩子不好的想法。他认为孩子们看电视不知学到显现出来的东西；父母陪孩子看电视，孩子可以学到更多知识；孩子看电视并没有代替孩子阅读，并没有影响孩子的智商。
36. B细节理解题。根据第二段的Instead, they learn bth explicit and hidden meanings frm what they see.可知孩子们通过看电视，可以学到显性和隐藏的意义，因此不仅仅学到隐藏的意思。故选B。
37. C推理判断题。根据第二段的Furthermre, as many teachers agree, children understand far mre when parents

Passage 6
【2015年湖北卷】“I see yu’ve gt a bit f water n yur cat,” said the man at the petrl statin. “Is it raining ut there?””N, it’s pretty nice,” I replied, checking my sleeve. “Oh, right. A pny(马驹) bit me earlier.”
As it happened, the bite was virtually painless: mre the kind f small bite yu might get frm a naughty child. The pny respnsible was queuing up fr sme ice cream in the car park near Haytr, and perhaps thught I’d jumped in ahead f him.
The reasn why the pnies here are naughty is that Haytr is a turist-heavy area and turists are cnstantly feeding the pnies fds, despite signs asking them nt t. By feeding the pnies, turists increase the risk f them getting hit by a car, and make them harder t gather during the area’s annual pny drift(迁移).
The purpse f a pny drift is t gather them up s their health can be checked, the baby nes can be stpped frm feeding n their mther’s milk, and thse wh’ve gne beynd their limited area can be returned t their crrect area. Sme f them are als later sld, in rder t limit the number f pnies accrding t the rules set by Natural England.
Three weeks ag, I witnessed a small near-disaster a few miles west f here. While walking, I nticed a pny rll ver n his back. “Hell!” I said t him, assuming he was just rlling fr fun, but he was very still and, as I gt clser, I saw him kicking his legs in the air and breathing heavily. I began t prperly wrry abut him. Frtunately, I managed t get in tuch with a Dartmr’s Livestck Prtectin fficer and send her a pht. The fficer immediately sent a lcal farmer ut t check n the pny. The pny had actually been trapped between tw rcks. The farmer freed him, and he began t run happily arund again.
Dartmr has 1,000 r s pnies, wh play a critical rle in creating the diversity f species in this area. Many peple are wrking hard t preserve these pnies, and trying t cme up with plans t find a sustainable(可持续的) future fr ne f Dartmr’s mst financially-trubled elements.
51. Why are turists asked nt t feed the pnies?
A. T prtect the turists frm being bitten
B. T keep the pnies ff the petrl statin
C. T avid putting the pnies in danger
D. T prevent the pnies frm fighting
52. One f the purpses f the annual pny drift is ______________.
A. t feed baby pnies n milk
B. t cntrl the number f pnies
C. t expand the habitat fr pnies
D. t sell the pnies at a gd price
53. What as the authr’s first reactin when he saw a pny rll n its back?
A. He freed it frm the trap
B. He called a prtectin fficer
C. He wrried abut it very much
D. He thught f it as being naughty
54. What des the authr imply abut the preservatin f Dartmr’s pnies?
A. It lacks peple’s invlvement.
B. It csts a large amunt f mney
C. It will affect turism in Dartmr.
D. It has caused an imbalance f species
【解析】试题分析：这是一篇夹叙夹议文。本文记叙了作者在Haytr关于马驹的所见所闻，目睹了马驹的淘气与脆弱，了解了马驹迁徙的原因以及保护马驹面临的困难。
53. D细节理解题。根据第五段中的“…, assuming he was just rlling fr fun,…”可知作者认为小马驹很淘气，滚着玩的。故选D项。

Passage 7
【2015年湖北卷】Science has a lt f uses. It can uncver laws f nature, cure diseseases, make bmbs, and help bridges t stand up. Indeed science is s gd at what it des that there’s always a temptatin(诱惑) t drag it int prblems where it may nt be helpful. David Brks, authr f The Scial Animal: The Hidden Surces f Lve, Character, and Achievement, appears t be the latest in a lng line f writers wh have failed t resist the temptatin.
Brks gained fame fr several bks. His latest bk The Scial Animal, hwever, is mre ambitius and serius than his earlier bks. It is an attempt t deal with a set f weighty tpics. The bk fcuses n big questins: What has science revealed abut human nature? What are the surces f character? And why are sme peple happy and successful while thers aren’t?
T answer these questins, Brks surveys a wide range f disciplines（学科）. Cnsidering this, yu might expect the bk t be a dry recitatin f facts. But Brks has structured his bk in an unrthdx(非常规的), and perhaps unfrtunate, way. Instead f intrducing scientific theries, he tells a stry, within which he tries t make his pints, perhaps in rder t keep the reader’s attentin. S as Harld and Erica, the her and herine in his stry, live thrugh childhd, we hear abut the science f child develpment, and as they begin t date we hear abut the thery f sexual attractin. Brks carries this thrugh t the death f ne f his characters.[来源:学+科+网]
On the whle,Brks’s stry is acceptable if uninspired. As ne wuld expect, his writing is mstly clear and, t be fair, sme chapters stand ut abve the rest. I enjyed, fr instance, the chapter in which Harld discvers hw t think n his wn. While Harld and Erica are certainly nt strng r memrable characters, the mre serius prblems with The Scial Animal lie elsewhere. These prblems partly invlve Brks’s attempt t translate his tale int science.
67. The authr mentins the functins f science at the beginning f the passage t__________.
A. illustrate where science can be applied
B. demnstrate the value f Brks’s new bk
C. remind the reader f the imprtance f science
D. explain why many writers use science in their wrks
68. Accrding t the authr, which f the fllwing culd be a strength f the bk?
A. Its strng basis.
B. Its cnvincing pints.
C. Its clear writing.
D. Its memrable characters.
69. What is the authr’s general attitude twards the bk?
A. Cntradictry.
B. Supprtive.
C . Cautius.
D. Critical.
70. What is the authr likely t write abut after the last paragraph?
A. Prblems with the bk.
B. Brks’s life experiences.
C. Death f the characters.
D. Brks’s translatin skills.
68.C推理判断题。根据最后一段中“…, his writing is mstly clear and , t be fair, sme chapters stand ut abve the rest. I enjyed,… ”可知作者认为写作思路清晰是这本书的一大优势。故选C项。
69.D观点态度题。最后一段中的链接词“while”之前是这本书的优势，其后作者指出了其不足。因此作者对这部书持批判的态度。故选D项。
70. A篇章结构题。文章最后一段中链接词“while”后面部分开始谈论这本书存在的问题。因此紧接着作者应该还是在写这本的不足。故选A项。

Passage 9
【2015年江苏卷】Suppse yu becme a leader in an rganizatin. It’s very likely that yu’ll want t have vlunteers t help with the rganizatin’s activities. T d s, it shuld help t understand why peple undertake vlunteer wrk and what keeps their interest in the wrk.
Let’s begin with the questin f why peple vlunteer. Researchers have identified several factrs that mtivate peple t get invlved. Fr example, peple vlunteer t express persnal values related t unselfishness, t expand their range f experiences, and t strengthen scial relatinships. If vlunteer psitins d nt meet these needs, peple may nt wish t participate. T select vlunteers, yu may need t understand the mtivatins f the peple yu wish t attract.
Peple als vlunteer because they are required t d s. T increase levels f cmmunity service, sme schls have launched cmpulsry vlunteer prgrams. Unfrtunately, these prgrams can shift peple’s wish f participatin frm an internal factr (e.g., "I vlunteer because it’s imprtant t me") t an external factr (e.g., "I vlunteer because I’m required t d s"). When that happens, peple becme less likely t vlunteer in the future. Peple must be sensitive t this pssibility when they make vlunteer activities a must.
Once peple begin t vlunteer, what leads them t remain in their psitins ver time? T answer this questin, researchers have cnducted fllw-up studies in which they track vlunteers ver time. Fr instance, ne study fllwed 238 vlunteers in Flrida ver a year. One f the mst imprtant factrs that influenced their satisfactin as vlunteers was the amunt f suffering they experienced in their vlunteer psitins. Althugh this result may nt surprise yu, it leads t imprtant practical advice. The researchers nte that attentin shuld be given t "training methds that wuld prepare vlunteers fr trublesme situatins r prvide them with strategies fr cping with the prblem they d experience".
Anther study f 302 vlunteers at hspitals in Chicag fcused n individual differences in the degree t which peple view "vlunteer" as an imprtant scial rle. It was assumed that thse peple fr whm the rle f vlunteer was mst part f their persnal identity wuld als be mst likely t cntinue vlunteer wrk. Participants indicated the degree t which the scial rle mattered by respnding t statements such as "Vlunteering in Hspital is an imprtant part f wh I am. "Cnsistent with the researchers’ expectatins, they fund a psitive crrelatin(正相关) between the strength f rle identity and the length f time peple cntinued t vlunteer. These results, nce again, lead t cncrete advice: "Once an individual begins vlunteering, cntinued effrts might fcus n develping a vlunteer rle identity... Items like T-shirts that allw vlunteers t be recgnized publicly fr their cntributins can help strengthen rle identity".
61.Peple vlunteer mainly ut f_________.
A. academic requirementsB. scial expectatins
C. financial rewardsD. internal needs
62.What can we learn frm the Flrida study?
A. Fllw-up studies shuld last fr ne year.
B. Vlunteers shuld get mentally prepared.
C. Strategy training is a must in research.
D. Vlunteers are prvided with cncrete advice.
63.What is mst likely t mtivate vlunteers t cntinue their wrk?
A. Individual differences in rle identity.B. Publicly identifiable vlunteer T-shirts.
C. Rle identity as a vlunteer.D. Practical advice frm researchers.
64.What is the best title f the passage?
A. Hw t Get Peple t VlunteerB. Hw t Study Vlunteer Behavirs
C. Hw t Keep Vlunteers’ InterestD. Hw t Organize Vlunteer Activities
【解析】试题分析：本文是一篇议论文。文章分析讲述志愿者为什么自发地去服务社会，并通过3个实验研究志愿者的意图。
63.C细节理解题。根据第五段第二句中“thse peple fr whm the rle f vlunteer was mst part f their persnal identity wuld als be mst likely t cntinue vlunteer wrk”可知志愿者身份认同会激励他们继续从事志愿者工作。故选C项。

【2015年天津卷】Once when I was facing a decisin that invlved high risk, I went t a friend. He lked at me fr a mment, and then wrte a sentence cntaining the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bld and brave — and mighty (强大的) frces will cme t yur aid.
Thse wrds made me see clearly that when I had fallen shrt in the past, it was seldm because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear f failure stp me frm trying at all. On the ther hand, whenever I had plunged int deep water, frced by curage r circumstance, I had always been able t swim until I gt my feet n the grund again.
Bldness means a decisin t bite ff mre than yu are sure yu can eat. And there is nthing mysterius abut the mighty frces. They are ptential pwers we pssess: energy, skill, sund judgment, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than mst f us realize.
Admittedly, thse mighty frces are spiritual nes. But they are mre imprtant than physical nes. A cllege classmate f mine, Tim, was an excellent ftball player, even thugh he weighed much less than the average player. “In ne game I suddenly fund myself cnfrnting a huge player, wh had nthing but me between him and ur gal line,” said Tim. “I was s frightened that I clsed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet(子弹) — and stpped him cld.”
Bldness — a willingness t extend yurself t the extreme — is nt ne that can be acquired vernight. But it can be taught t children and develped in adults. Cnfidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappintments in life; bldness in itself is n guarantee f success. But the persn wh tries t d smething and fails is a lt better ff than the persn wh tries t d nthing and succeeds.
S, always try t live a little bit beynd yur abilities — and yu’ll find yur abilities are greater than yu ever dreamed.
51. Why was the authr smetimes unable t reach his gal in the past?
A. He faced huge risks.
B. He lacked mighty frces.
C. Fear prevented him frm trying.
D. Failure blcked his way t success.
52. What is the implied meaning f the underlined part?
A. Swallw mre than yu can digest.
B. Act slightly abve yur abilities.
C. Develp mre mysterius pwers.
D. Learn t make creative decisins.
53. What was especially imprtant fr Tim’s successful defense in the ftball game?
A. His physical strength.B. His basic skill.
C. His real fear.D. His spiritual frce.
54. What can be learned frm Paragraph 5?
A. Cnfidence grws mre rapidly in adults.
B. Trying withut success is meaningless.
C. Repeated failure creates a better life.
D. Bldness can be gained little by little.
55. What is the authr’s purpse in writing this passage?
A. T encurage peple t be curageus.
B. T advise peple t build up physical pwer.
C. T tell peple the ways t guarantee success.
D. T recmmend peple t develp mre abilities.

Passage 2
【2014年安徽卷】 Shuld we allw mdern buildings t be built next t lder buildings in a histric area f a city? In rder t answer this questin, we must first examine whether peple really want t preserve the histric feel f an area. Nt all histrical buildings are attractive. Hwever, there may be ther reasns fr example, ecnmic (经济的) reasns-why they shuld be preserved. S, let us assume that histrical buildings are bth attractive and imprtant t the majrity f peple. What shuld we d then if a new building is needed?
In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alngside an lder style. Indeed, there are many examples in my wn hme twn f Turs where mdern designs have been placed very successfully next t ld buildings. As lng as the building in questin is pleasing and des nt dminate (影响) its surrundings t much, it ften imprves the attractiveness f the area.
It is true that there are examples f new buildings which have spilt (破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said f sme ld buildings t. Yet peple still speak against new buildings in histric areas. I think this is simply because peple are naturally cnservative(保守的) and d nt like change.
Althugh we have t respect peple’s feelings as fellw users f the buildings, I believe that it is the duty f the architect and planner t mve things frward. If we always reprduced what was there befre, we wuld all still be living in caves. Thus, I wuld argue against cpying previus architectural styles and chse smething fresh and different, even thugh that might be the mre risky chice.
What des the authr say abut histrical buildings in the first paragraph?
Sme f them are nt attractive.
Mst f them ate t expensive t preserve.
They are mre pleasing than mdern buildings.
They have nthing t d with the histric feel f an area.
Which f the fllwing is true accrding t the authr ?
We shuld reprduce the same ld buildings.
Buildings shuld nt dminate their surrundings.
Sme ld buildings have spilt the area they are in.
N ne understands why peple speak against new buildings.
By “mve things frward ” in the last paragraph , the authr prbably means “ ”.
Destry ld buildings
Put things in a different place
Chse new architectural styles
Respect peple’s feelings fr histrical buildings
What is the main purpse f the passage?
T explain why peple dislike change.
T warn that we culd end up living in caves.
T admit hw new buildings have ruined their surrundings.
T argue that mdern buildings can be built in histric areas.

Passage 4
【2014年湖北卷】Lndn’s newest skyscraper (摩天大楼) is called the Shard and it cst abut 430 millin punds t build. At a height f almst 310 metres, it is the tallest building in Eurpe. The Shard has cmpletely changed the appearance f Lndn. Hwever, nt everyne thinks that it is a change fr the better.
The Shard was designed by the famus Italian architect Renz Pian. When he began designing the Shard fr Lndn, Pian wanted a very tall building that lked like a spire (尖顶). He wanted the glass surfaces t reflect the sky and the city. The sides f the building aren’t regular. S the building has an unusual shape. It lks like a very thin, sharp piece f brken glass. And that is hw the building gt the name: the Shard. Pian says that the spire shape f the Shard is part f a great Lndn traditin. The shape reminds him f the spires f the churches f Lndn r the tall masts (桅杆) f the ships that were nce n the river Thames.
The Shard has 87 flrs. At the tp, there is an bservatry. At the mment the building is empty, but eventually there will be a five-star htel. There will als be tp quality restaurants, apartments and ffices.
Befre building wrk began, a lt f peple didn’t want the Shard thugh the plans were apprved. Nw they are still unhappy abut the Shard. Sme critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be gd in a city like New Yrk, but nt in Lndn. They say that the best thing abut the Shard is its spire shape. But that is the nly thing. There is n decratin, nly flat surfaces. The Egyptians did that 4,500 years ag. They als think the Shard is t big fr Lndn. It destrys the beauty f the city.
Other critics dn’t like what the Shard seems t represent. They say that the Shard shws hw Lndn is becming mre unequal. Only very rich peple can affrd t buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the htel. But the peple wh live near the Shard are amng the prest in Lndn. S the Shard seems a symbl f the divisin in sciety between the very rich and the pr.
The Shard nw dminates the Lndn skyline. It is nt certain, hwever, that rdinary Lndn citizens will ever accept it as a valuable additin t the city.
55. Lndn’s newest skyscraper is called the Shard because f ______.
A. its cst
B. its size
C. its shape
D. its height
56. When he designed the Shard, Pian wanted it t ______.

B. inherit Lndn’s traditin
C. imitate the Egyptian style
D. attract ptential visitrs
57. The critics wh refer t scial divisin think the Shard ______.
A. is nly preferred by the rich
B. is intended fr wealthy peple
C. is far away frm the pr area
D. is ppular nly with Lndners

Passage 5
【2014年湖北卷】Wrking with a grup f babns (狒狒) in the Namibian desert, Dr. Alecia Carter f the Department f Zlgy, Cambridge University set babns learning tasks invlving a nvel fd and a familiar fd hidden in a bx. Sme babns were given the chance t watch anther babn wh already knew hw t slve the task, while thers had t learn fr themselves. T wrk ut hw brave r anxius the babns were, Dr. Carter presented them either with a nvel fd r a threat in the frm f a mdel f a pisnus snake.
She fund that persnality had a majr impact n learning. The braver babns learnt, but the shy nes did nt learn the task althugh they watched the babn perfrm the task f finding the nvel fd just as lng as the brave nes did. In effect, despite being made aware f what t d, they were still t shy t d what the experienced babn did.
The same held true fr anxius babns cmpared with calm nes. The anxius individuals learnt the task by bserving thers while thse wh were relaxed did nt, even thugh they spent mre time watching.
This mismatch between cllecting scial infrmatin and using it shws that persnality plays a key rle in scial learning in animals, smething that has previusly been ignred in studies n hw animals learn t d things. The findings are significant because they suggest that animals may perfrm prly in cgnitive (认知的) tasks nt because they aren’t clever enugh t slve them, but because they are t shy r nervus t use the scial infrmatin.
The findings may impact hw we understand the frmatin f culture in scieties thrugh scial learning. If sme individuals are unable t get infrmatin frm thers because they dn’t assciate with the knwledgeable individuals, r they are t shy t use the infrmatin nce they have it, infrmatin may nt travel between all grup members, preventing the frmatin f a culture based n scial learning.
59. What is the first paragraph mainly abut?
A. The design f Dr. Carter’s research.
B. The results f Dr. Carter’s research.
C. The purpse f Dr. Carter’s research.
D. The significance f Dr. Carter’s research.

Passage 6
【2014年湖北卷】Fr mst city peple, the elevatr is an unremarkable machine that inspires nne f the enthusiasm r interest that Americans affrd trains, jets, and even bicycles. Dr. Christpher Wilk is a member f a small grup f elevatr experts wh cnsider this a misunderstanding. Withut the elevatr, they pint ut, there culd be n dwntwn skyscrapers r tall buildings, and city life as we knw it wuld be impssible. In that sense, they argue, the elevatr’s rle in American histry has been n less significant than that f cars. In fact, accrding t Wilk, the car and the elevatr have been lcked in a “secret war” fr ver a century, with cars making it pssible fr peple t spread hrizntally (水平地), and elevatrs pushing them tward life in clse grups f twering vertical (垂直的) clumns.
If we tend t ignre the significance f elevatrs, it might be because riding in them tends t be such a brief, bring, and even awkward experience—ne that can invlve unexpectedly meeting peple with whm we have nthing in cmmn, and an unpleasant awareness f the fact that we’re hanging frm a cable in a lng passage.
In a new bk, Lifted, German jurnalist and cultural studies prfessr Andreas Bernard directed all his attentin t this experience, studying the rigins f elevatr and its relatinship t humankind and finding that riding in an elevatr has never been a ttally cmfrtable experience. “After 150 years, we are still nt used t it,” Bernard said. “We still have nt exactly learned t cpe with the mixture f clseness and displeasure.” That mixture, accrding t Bernard, sets the elevatr ride apart frm just abut every ther situatin we find urselves in as we g abut ur lives.
Tday, as the wrld’s urban ppulatin expldes, and cities becme mre crwded, taller, and mre crwded, America’s ttal number f elevatrs—900,000 at last cunt, accrding t Elevatr Wrld magazine’s “2012 Vertical Transprtatin Industry”—are a frce that’s becming mre imprtant than ever. And fr the peple wh really, really lve them, it seems like high time that we lked seriusly at just what kind f frce they are.
67. What des the underlined wrd “this” in Paragraph 1 refer t?
A. The general view f elevatrs.
B. The particular interests f experts.
C. The desire fr a remarkable machine.
D. The enthusiasm fr transprt vehicles.
68. The authr’s purpse in mentining cars is ______.
A. t cntrast their functins with elevatrs’
B. t emphasize the imprtance f elevatrs
C. t reveal their secret war against elevatrs
D. t explain peple’s preference fr elevatrs
69. Accrding t Prf. Bernard, what has made the elevatr ride different frm ther life experiences?
A. Vertical directin.
B. Lack f excitement.
C. Little physical space.
D. Uncmfrtable cnditins.
70. The authr urges readers t cnsider ______.
A. the exact number f elevatr lvers
B. the serius future situatin f elevatrs
C. the rle f elevatrs in city develpment
D. the relatinship between cars and elevatrs
68.B考查判断推理。根据文章第一段“In that sense, they argue，the elevatr’s rle in American histry has been n less significant than that f cars.”作者通过提及汽车来更好的阐述观点即电梯的重要性，故B正确。
69.C考查判断推理。 根据文章第三段“ “We still have nt exactly learned t cpe with the mixture f clseness and displeasure.” That mixture, accrding t Bernard, sets the elevatr ride apart frm just abut every ther situatin we find urselves in as we g abut ur lives.”可知是因为电梯的关闭给人带来了不愉悦，也就是电梯的空间带来的问题，故C正确。
70.C考查细节理解。根据文章最后一段“it seems like high time that we lked seriusly at just what kind f frce they are.”可知作者的写作用意在于让读者去评价电梯的价值所在，故C正确。
Passage 7
【2014年江苏卷】Hwever wealthy we may be, we can never find enugh hurs in the day t d everything we want. Ecnmics deals with this prblem thrugh the cncept f pprtunity cst, which simply refers t whether smene’s time r mney culd be better spent n smething else.
Every hur f ur time has a value. Fr every hur we wrk at ne jb we culd quite easily be ding anther, r be sleeping r watching a film. Each f these ptins has a different pprtunity cst—namely, what they cst us in missed pprtunities.
Say yu intend t watch a ftball match but the tickets are expensive and it will take yu a cuple f hurs t get t and frm the stadium. Why nt, yu might reasn, watch the game frm hme and use the leftver mney and time t have dinner with friends? This—the alternative use f yur cash and time—is the pprtunity cst.
Fr ecnmists, every decisin is made by knwledge f what ne must frg—in terms f mney and enjyment—in rder t take it up. By knwing precisely what yu are receiving and what yu are missing ut n, yu ught t be able t make better-infrmed, mre reasnable decisins. Cnsider that mst famus ecnmic rule f all: there’s n such thing as a free lunch. Even if smene ffers t take yu ut t lunch fr free, the time yu will spend in the restaurant still csts yu smething in terms f frgne pprtunities.
Sme peple find the idea f pprtunity cst extremely discuraging: imagine spending yur entire life calculating whether yur time wuld be better spent elsewhere ding smething mre prfitable r enjyable. Yet, in a sense it’s human nature t d precisely that—we assess the advantages and disadvantages f decisins all the time.
In the business wrld, a ppular phrase is “value fr mney.” Peple want their cash t g as far as pssible. Hwever, anther is fast btaining an advantage: “value fr time.” The biggest restrictin n ur resurces is the number f hurs we can devte t smething, s we lk t maximize the return we get n ur investment f time. By reading this passage yu are giving ver a bit f yur time which culd be spent ding ther activities, such as sleeping and eating. In return, hwever, this passage will help yu t think like an ecnmist, clsely cnsidering the pprtunity cst f each f yur decisins.
【小题1】Accrding t the passage, the cncept f “pprtunity cst” is applied t ________.
A. making mre mney B. taking mre pprtunities
C. reducing missed pprtunities D. weighing the chice f pprtunities
【小题2】The “leftver ... time” in Paragraph 3 prbably refers t the time ________.
A. spared fr watching the match at hme B. taken t have dinner with friends
C. spent n the way t and frm the match D. saved frm nt ging t watch the match
【小题3】What are frgne pprtunities?
A. Opprtunities yu frget in decisin-making. B. Opprtunities yu give up fr better nes.
C. Opprtunities yu miss accidentally. D. Opprtunities yu make up fr.

When cmmunicatin becmes mre efficient, peple are able t cntact ne anther n matter where they are and at whatever time they wish t. The click f a buttn allws peple miles apart t talk r see each ther withut even leaving their hmes. With the cmmunicatin gadgets, such as mbile phnes and iPads, peple ften d nt take the effrt t visit ne anther persnally. A persnal visit carries with it the additinal feature f having t be in the persn’s presence fr as lng as the visit lasts. We cannt unnecessarily excuse urselves r turn the ther persn ff.
With efficiency als cmes mass prductin. Such is the nature f factries and the success f industrializatin tday. Factries have imprved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left t machines and prducts are better made and prduced with greater accuracy than any human hand culd ever have dne. Hwever, with the imprvements in efficiency als cmes the lss f the persnal tuch when making these prducts. Fr example, many handicrafts(手工艺品) are nw prduced in a factry. Althugh this means that supply is better able t increase demand, nw that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass prductin lwers the quality f the handcraft and it is difficult t find unique designs n each item.
Nevertheless, we must nt cmmit the mistake f analyzing prgress nly frm ne pint f view. In fact, prgress has allwed traditin t keep up. It is nly with prgress and the inventin f new technlgy that many ld prducts can be brught back t their ld state. New technlgy is required fr ld prducts t stay ld.
It is peple’s attitude twards prgress that causes the type f influence that technlgy has n sciety. Technlgy is flexible. There is n fixed way f making use f it. Everything depends n peple’s attitude. The wrst effects f prgress will fall n thse wh are unable t rethink their attitudes and views f sciety. When we accept prgress and adapt it t suit ur needs, a new ＂past＂ is created.

【2014年陕西卷】 One afternn last week, I saw three tearful children frm my sn’s schl being cmfrted by teachers. That mrning, my 11-year-ld had stmach pains, retching（干呕）int a bwl. Talking t ther mthers later, I heard abut ther children with stmachache r difficulty sleeping the night befre.

Fr the children wh can fly like the wind, sprts day cause n prblem. Fr thse wh are verweight r just nt gd at sprt, it is a nightmare（恶梦）. Even fr thse wh enjy running but fall halfway dwn the track in frnt f the entire schl and their parents, it can prve a disaster.
Why d we put ur children thrugh this annual suffering? Sme may say cmpetitin is character building; r it’s taking part, nt winning, that’s imprtant; r that it is a traditin f schl life. I just felt great pity fr thse children in tears r in pain.
Team games at the end f sprts day prduced sme clse races, wild enthusiasm, lts f shuting — and were fun t watch. Mre imprtantly, the children wh were nt s fast r quick at passing the ball were hidden a little frm everyne’s eyes. Sme f them als had the thrill f being n the winning side.

Passage 10
【2014年四川卷】Wmen are friendly. But men are mre cmpetitive. Why? Researchers have fund it’s all dwn t the hrmne xytcin(荷尔蒙催生素). Althugh knwn as the lve hrmne, it affects the sexes differently.
＂Wmen tend t be scial in their behavir. They ften share with thers. But men tend t be cmpetitive. They are trying t imprve their scial status,＂ said Prfessr Ryan. Generally, peple believe that the hrmne xytcin is let ut in ur bdy in varius scial situatins and ur bdy creates a large amunt f it during psitive scial interactins(互动) such as falling in lve r giving birth.
But in a previus experiment Prfessr Ryan fund that the hrmne is als let ut in ur bdy during negative scial interactins such as envy.
Further researches shwed that in men the hrmne xytcin imprves the ability t recgnize cmpetitive relatinships, but in wmen it raises the ability t recgnize friendship. Prfessr Ryan’s recent experiment used 62 men and wmen aged 20 t 37. Half f the participants（参与者）received xytcin. The ther half received placeb(安慰剂).
After a week, the tw grups switched with participants. They went tlirugh the same prcedure with the ther material.
Fllwing each treatment, they were shwn sme vide pictures with different scial interactins. Then they were asked t analyze the relatinships by answering sme questins. The questins were abut telling friendship frm cmpetitin. And their answers shuld be based n gestures, bdy language and facial expressins.
The results indicated that, after treatment with xytcin, men’s ability t crrectly recgnize cmpetitive relatinships imprved, but in wmen it was the ability t crrectly recgnize friendship that gt better.
Prfessr Ryan thus cncluded: ＂Our experiment prves that the hrmne xytcin can raise peple’s abilities t better distinguish different scial interactins. And the behavir differences between men and wmen are caused by bilgical factrs(因素) that are mainly hrmnal.＂
47. What causes men and wmen t behave differently accrding t the text?
A. Placeb. B. Oxytcin.C. The gesture.D. The scial status.
48. What can we learn frm Prfessr Ryan’s previus experiment?
A. Oxytcin affects ur behavir in a different way.
B. Our bdy lets ut xytcin when we are deep in lve.
C. Our bdy prduces xytcin when we feel unhappy abut thers’ success.
D. Oxytcin imprves ur abilities t understand peple’s behavir differences.
49. Why did Prfessr Ryan cnduct the recent experiment?
A. T test the effect f xytcin n the ability t recgnize scial interactins.
B. T knw the differences between friendship and cmpetitin.
C. T knw peple’s different abilities t answer questins.
D. T test peple’s understanding f bdy language.
50. The authr develps the text by______.
A. explaining peple’s behavirsB. describing his wn experiences
C. distinguishing sexual differences D. discussing research experiments
【解析】试题分析: 本文属于议论文文体。作者在文中提出荷尔蒙催生素对男女行为的不同影响：女性非常友善，善于交际，而男性更具有竞争意识，努力去提高自己的社会地位。但是实验也表明当人内心产生比如嫉妒这样的情绪情感时人体也会释放这种荷尔蒙催生素。此外，作者还对一项实验进行了详细的介绍，以此来进一步证实这一观点。
47.B考查细节理解。通过文章首段Wmen are friendly. But men are mre cmpetitive. Why? Researchers have fund it's all dwn t the hrmne xytcin 可知对于男女的不同表现，xytcin是造成这种差异的原因，答案选B。
50.D考查推理判断。在文章开头作者提出荷尔蒙催生素在男女的不同表现中所起到的作用，也就是文章的中心话题，然后在下文中通过介绍几个实验及其结果来进一步对此看法进行证明，由此判断作者的行为是故答案选D。本题容易误选的答案为A“解释人们的行为”，在文中作者对男女不同行为进行了介绍，但是题干问的是文章的行文发展方法，故A为错误选项。
Passage 11
【2014年重庆卷】It’s generally believed that peple act the way they d because f their persnalities and attitudes. They recycle their garbage because they care abut the envirnment. They pay $5 fr a caramel brulée latte because they like expensive cffee drinks.
It’s undeniable that behavir cmes frm ur inner dispsitins(性情), but in many instances we als draw inferences abut wh we are, as suggested by the scial psychlgist Daryl Bern, by bserving ur wn behavir. We can be strangers t urselves. If we knew ur wn minds, why wuld we need t guess what ur preferences are frm ur behavir? If ur minds were an pen bk, we wuld knw exactly hw much we care abut the envirnment r like lattes. Actually, we ften need t lk t ur behavir t figure ut wh we are.
Mrever, we dn’t just use ur behavir t learn abut ur particular types f character—we infer characters that weren’t there befre. Our behavir is ften shaped by little pressures arund us, which we fail t recgnize. Maybe we recycle because ur wives and neighbrs wuld disapprve if we didn’t. Maybe we buy lattes in rder t impress the peple arund us. We shuld nt mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result f sme inner dispsitin.
Whatever pressures there can be r inferences ne can make, peple becme what they d, thugh it may nt be in cmpliance(符合) with their true desires. Therefre, we shuld all bear in mind Kurt Vnnegut’s advice: ＂We are what we pretend t be, s we must be careful abut what we pretend t be. ＂
52. Accrding t the passage, persnalities and attitudes are cmmnly believed t _________.
A. determine ne’s behavir
B. reflect ne’s taste
C. influence ne’s surrundings
D. result frm ne’s habits
53. Which f the fllwing wuld Daryl Bern mst prbably agree with?
A. The return f a wallet can indicate ne’s hnesty.
B. A kind persn will ffer his seat t the ld.
C. One recycles plastics t prtect the envirnment.
D. One buys latte ut f true lve f cffee.
54. What can be inferred frm the underlined sentence in the passage?
A. We fail t realize ur inner dispsitins.
B. We can be influenced by utside pressures.
C. Our behavir is the result f ur true desires.
D. Our characters can shape ur scial relatinships.
55. What des the authr mainly discuss in the passage?
A. Persnalities and attitudes. B. Preferences and habits.
C. Behavir and persnalities.D. Attitudes and preferences.
【答案】人们的行为是由什么来决定的? 通常认为人的行为决定于人的内在“性情”。但是许多时候，我们却需要通过人的行为来认识人的内心，因为行为并非总能代表人的真实内心。
52细#题。以第一段 It's generally believed that peple act the way they d because f their persnalities and attitudes.一句可知，人们通常认为“品格和态度”决定人们的行为。故选择 A项。
53.推断题。从第二段but in many instances we als draw inferences abut wh we are, as suggested by the scial psychlgist Daryl Bern, by bserving ur wn behavir.一句可知，与通常认为的“内在”（性情）决定“外在”（行为）不同，许多时候，我们需要通过我们的行为来认识我们的内心。这是Daryl Bern 提议的。B、C、D三项都是“内在”决定“外在”的例子。A项中是“外在”显示“内在”，故该项正确。
54.推断题。文章第三段说到：Our behavir is ften shaped by little pressures arund us，下文“回收垃圾”和“买咖啡”都是说明该论点的论据。我们回收垃圾不是因为我们保护环境的内心，而是因为存在外界可能的负面评价的压力所致。故选择 B项。
55.主旨大意题。本文主要讨论如何认识人们的行为（外在）与品性（内在）之间的内在联系及因果关系。故选择C项。
Frget Cyclists, Pedestrians Are Real Danger
We are having a debate abut this tpic. Here are sme letters frm ur readers.
■Yes, many cyclists behave dangerusly. Many drivers are disrespectful f cyclists. But pedestrians are prbably the wrse ffenders.
Peple f all ages happily walk alng the pavement with eyes and hands glued t the mbile phne, quite unaware f what is ging n arund them. They may even d the same thing while crssing a rad at a pedestrian crssing r elsewhere. The rest f us have t evade(避让) them r just stand still t wait fr the unavidable cllisin.
The real prblem is that sme pedestrians seem t be, at least fr the mment, in wrlds f their wn that are, t them, much mre imprtant than the welfare f thers.
—Michael Hran
■I lved the letter frm Bb Brks abut cyclists(Viewpints, May 29). I am afraid they seem t think they wn the rads.
I was walking acrss Altrincham Rad ne mrning when a cyclist went rund me and n being asked what he was ding he shuted at me.
The gvernment built a cycle lane n the rad but it is hardly used.
The plice d nthing. What a laugh they are!
The cyclists shuld all have t be made t use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, flurescent(发荧光的) jackets and lights at night and in the mrning. They shuld pay sme srt f tax and be fined fr nt wearing them.
—Carl Harvey
■ Cyclists jump n and ff pavements(which are meant fr pedestrians), ride at speed alng the pavements, and think they have a special right t g thrugh traffic lights when they are n red.
I was almst kncked dwn recently by a cyclist riding n the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next t him.
Other rad users, including hrse riders, manage t bey the rules s why nt cyclists?
It’s abut time they had t be registered and insured, s when they d hit a pedestrian r a vehicle, r cause an accident, at least they can be traced and there might be an pprtunity t claim.
