2、ds intimacy. Power couples on 2the world stage have taken up handholding as a sign of equality 3and commitment. The political figures and their wives are oftensnapped hand-in-hand. That very fact-which its a simple but powerful statement of 4 commitment-is exact what deters many young people from 5l

3、inking hands. There is no public display of affection intimate 6between two people than handholding, writes New York bachelorJozen, on his blog. Holding hands is the ultimate sign that twopeople are not only together, also happily so. Couples kiss madly, 7hug madly. But hold hands madly? Oh no, they

4、 dont do that. Public Display of Affection is so common and varied that its earned its own acronym, the PDA. A lot of young people arentthinking about the long term when they date with someone: 8Kissing and touching are fueled by passion and dont necessarilymean people plan to be together forever. B

5、ut a couple quietlyholding hands shows something deeper. In the fast paced, constantlychanging world of youth where everything is permitted, but something 9is certain, people have time for passion but are scary 10of the commitment of love.1.答案:andbut解析 语篇错误。从上下文的语义来判断，句间的逻辑关系应为转折关系。前句说亲吻、爱抚和拥抱很常见，后句

6、说如今安静、浪漫的牵手成了很多西方年轻人在公共场所的终极边界。前后形成对比，故应该用表示转折关系的but替换and。2.答案:athe解析 词汇错误。此句的意思是“握手在传统上是亲密行为的第一步。”在序数词前要用定冠词the。3.答案:upup或upto解析 词汇错误。take up意为“开始从事；对产生兴趣”，不符合文义，take.as意为“把当作，认为”，此句要表达的意思是“世界大舞台上的权贵夫妇们将握手视为平等、承诺的标志。”另外，也可以改用take to，意为“喜欢，习惯于”，表示那些权贵夫妇习惯于将握手视为平等、承诺的标志。4.答案:whichthat解析 语法错误。此句作fact的

7、同位语，用来解释说明fact的具体内容，which是关系代词不能引导同位语从句，且此句结构完整，不缺少任何成分，故应该用从属连词that引导。5.答案:exactexactly解析 语法错误。此处用来修饰前面整句话“这个简单却强大的承诺”，故应该用副词exactly，意为“正好，恰恰正是”，用来加强语气。6.答案:intimatemore解析 词汇错误。在紧接的下文中出现了than，故应该用比较级，在intimate前面加上more。7.答案:alsobut或alsobut解析 词汇错误。此句用了not only.but also的结构，其中also可以省略，此句的意思是“握手不仅是表示两个人

8、在一起的最终标志，而且标志着两个人幸福地在一起。”8.答案:withwith解析 词汇错误。date意为“与人约会”时是及物动词，不需要介词。9.答案:somethingnothing解析 语篇错误。此句和everything is permitted是并列分句，一起作为the world of youth的定语，句间的逻辑关系是转折关系，所以此处应该用nothing，与前句的everything形成对照，意为“一切都是允许的，但没有什么是确定的”。10.答案:scaryscared解析 词汇错误。scary意为“可怕的，吓人的”，一般指什么东西或事情很恐怖，scared意为“害怕的，惊慌的”

9、，一般指人感到害怕或恐怖，后面通常接of，此句意为“人们有时间享受激情，却往往害怕爱情的承诺。”故此处应该改为scared，符合上下文语义。Passage 2Issues concerning human learning are among the criticaltopics in educational psychology, child development, and cognitivescience. One central focus has been on the issue of why students 1learn and teachers teach best, and

10、 discovery learning versus directinstruction has been a contented debate in modern educational 2theory and practice. Stemmed from the theoretical perspective of 3constructivism, discovery learning is believed to be a tool forfacilitating the creation and organization of knowledge, as well asthe tran

11、sfer of that knowledge across different contexts. Thisapproach contrasts with views that emphasize direct instructionfrom teacher to student. This entry addresses the following centralissues: how discovery learning is defined, the empirical evidencein favor of discovery learning or direct instructio

12、n, and thefacilitation of discovery and transfer. Discovery learning is a general approach that involves minded participation and active inquiry in the acquisition of 4concepts and strategies. In classroom contexts, it refers to a formof curriculum which students are encouraged to actively explore 5

13、and figure out the concepts, solutions, or strategies at the hand. A 6widely accepted idea is that discovery learning is the least 7appropriate and effective approach to facilitate deep and lasting 8understanding. This approach is often contrasted with directinstruction or expository learning, which

14、 typically refers traditional, 9content-oriented methods that the instructor lectures to students. 10Learning associated with direct instruction is often believed to beless engaged and less active, and thus less effective.1.答案:whyhow解析 语法错误。why表示原因，how表示方式。全文都在讨论学习方法以及哪种方法更有效，故可推断这里应该是要表明“如何让教与学达到最佳

15、效果”，此处用why语义不通，故应改为表示方式的how。2.答案:contentedcontentious解析 词汇错误。contented意思为“感到满意的”，contentious意思为“有争议的”。根据debate一词，可推断此处的意思应指“有争议的话题”，故选用contentious。3.答案:StemmedStemming解析 语法错误。短语stem from和它的逻辑主语discovery learning是主谓关系，所以应该用表示主动意义的现在分词形式。此句的意思为“发现式学习源于构成主义理论观点，被认为是一种促进知识的创造和组织以及在不同语境或上下文间传递知识的工具。”4.答案

16、:mindedmindful解析 词汇错误。minded作表语时意为“准备，有意(做某事)”，mindful意思为“专注的，留心的”。此处与名词participation搭配，用形容词mindful更合适，表示“高关注度的参与”。5.答案:whichin解析 语法错误。which引导的定语从句修饰先行词curriculum，从句中主谓宾等主要成分已齐全，缺的是状语，in which表示“在这种课程形式中”，符合文意，故加上in。整句表示“在课堂环境中，它(发现式学习)指的是一种鼓励学生积极探索、找出概念、解决方法或策略的课程形式”。6.答案:thethe解析 词汇错误。at hand意思为“在

17、手边，即将到来”，at the hand无此短语。故将此处的the删掉。7.答案:leastmost解析 语篇错误。通读下文，可发现短文最后几句将发现式学习与直接性指导作比较，其中最后一句还提到：人们认为直接性指导的学习效果要差一些，因此此处发现式学习效果应该不是“最差”，而是“最佳”。故应该将least换成其反义词，并且对应最高级。改为most。此句的意思为“一个被广泛接受的观点为：发现式学习是推进深入且持久理解的最合适、最有效的方法”。8.答案:facilitatefacilitating解析 语法错误。approach此处是名词。其后的to应该是介词而不是动词不定式符号，故后面应该接动名

18、词而不是动词原形。所以将动词原形facilitate改为facilitating。9.答案:refersto解析 词汇错误。which引导的定语从句是对先行词expository learning的解释说明，refer to表示“指的是；涉及”，放在此处符合句意，意为“直接性指导是指导师向学生授课的、以内容为导向的传统式教学方式”。10.答案:thatwhereby解析 语法错误。就that所引导的从句来看，主谓宾已齐全，这里缺乏一个副词表示“凭借的方法或方式”。此处意为“导师用以内容为导向的传统式教学方式向学生授课”，因此将that改为副词whereby。Passage 3There are

19、 more drugs dispensed for pain than for any otherdisease on this planet. Drug companies enjoy earning huge profitsfrom people suffering with chronic pain. Pain management clinicsflourish throughout the world. Most conventional medicine 1prescribed for pain addresses a contemporary symptom removal (i

20、f 2you are lucky) rather than curing the cause of the pain. There aremany pain management drugs and techniques. Most of these willdry up to your savings and at the end of the day you will still suffer 3from pain. This is not the worst part, but rather what your liver, kidneys 4 and other organic eve

21、ntually become poisoned by long-term use of 5synthetic drugs that is the most devastating to your health. Paindrugs are also addicted which will eventually cause other diseases. 6Useful pain management techniques, whether they involve 7poisonous drugs, pulsating your body parts with low voltage,rubb

22、ing your skin or using other inventions, only postpone theagony while the disease behind it will continue thriving. Many smart philosophers mention that the best way to keep young and healthy is to put food in your mouth that is healing: e.g.treat your food as your medicine while your medicine as yo

23、ur 8food. People following this simple prescription live to be good into 9their nineties or even hundreds and they feel thirty to fifty yearsyounger than they really are. Cultures follow this principle have 10some of the healthiest seniors around.1.答案:medicinemedication解析 词汇错误。medicine是普通用词，单纯的指药物，m

24、edication的意思比较广泛，可指药物治疗，包含所开处方之药品、药疗法等等。此处指的是医生所开的处方，非单纯指某药品，所以应该将medicine改为medication。2.答案:contemporarytemporary解析 词汇错误。此处是形近词的比较，contemporary的意思为“当代的”，temporary指的是“暂时的，短暂的”，根据语义，此处应该指“暂时减轻疼痛症状，而不是治愈导致疼痛的本质原因”。3.答案:toto解析 词汇错误。dry up的意思是“用光、耗尽：使干涸”，dry up to无此短语。此句的意思是“大部分这些止痛药会耗尽患者的积蓄，而直至生命的最后一天患者

25、仍会经受疼痛的折磨”。4.答案:whathow解析 词汇错误。此处从句中不缺表对象的成分，故无需what引导。应该用表示方式的副词how，意思为“患者的肝、肾等器官如何最终被这些长期服用的合成药物所毒害”，所以要将what改为how。5.答案:organicorgans解析 语法错误。形容词organic的意思为“器官的，有机的”，根据and可知，此处需要的是名词，表示是同前面所提到的肝、。肾并列的其他“器官”，故应改为名词organs。整句意为“这还不是最糟糕的部分，由于长期服用合成药品，而这些药物对健康是最有危害性的，并且最终会毒害患者的肝、肾以及其他器官，这才是最糟糕的。”6.答案:ad

26、dictedaddictive解析 词汇错误。addicted常用于be/become addicted to的结构中，表示“上瘾，成瘾”，此处主语非人，后无所指对象，不符合这种语法结构和句意。形容词addictive表示“使人上瘾的”，符合语义，此处意为“止痛药也会使人上瘾，并能最终引发其他疾病”。7.答案:UsefulUseless解析 语篇错误。此句提到“这种止痛技术仅仅能延缓疼痛，然而疼痛背后的疾病仍旧会继续发展”，若填useful则逻辑不通，无法自圆其说。所以可以判定，只有毫无用处的止痛技术才不能治愈疾病，因此，需要使用一个表示否定含义的词15seless。8.答案:whileand

27、解析 词汇错误。while可以引导时间状语从句，也可以作连词表示转折，不过用在此处语意都不通。这里while后省略了动词treat,完整形式应该是treat your medicine as your food,与前面的treat your food as your medicine是并列关系，所以应该改为表示并列的连词and。9.答案:goodwell解析 词汇错误。此处是指身体的“健康”，应该用well，表示“健康的”，good是指“好的”，不特指身体健康。10.答案:followthat/which或followfollowing解析 语法错误。follow this principle

28、这个动宾短语和下文中的have some seniors出现谓语重复的错误，而此句中的谓语应该是动词have，所以应该将follow改为其非谓语形式，用来修饰主语cultures。此处有两种修改方法，第一种是将follow this principle用作主语cultures的定语从句，增加关系代词that或者which，此处关系代词在定语从句中作主语，不可省略；第二种方法是将follow this principle用作主语cultures的后置定语，follow改为其现在分词形式following，表示主动。Passage 4You can perform all those functi
