D.imaginative

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:A

第3题:D

第4题:D

【解析】1.判断推理题。题干中关键词wisdom出现在文章最后一段，恰好词后有破折号“Whenitgivesprecepts,insinuatesideals,orremouldsaspiration,itisanimaginativesubstituteforwisdom—Imeanforthedeliberateandimpartialpursuitofallgood”，当它给人训诫、暗示理想或重塑抱负时，它是一种富有想象力的智慧的替代品：我认为，它是对一切美好事物深思熟虑、不偏不倚的追求。浏览四个选项发现，C选项“一种对最好的事物有目的且无偏见的追求”符合文意。

2.判断推理题。第一段中说到对reason理性的态度“Weconformordonotconformtoit;itdoesnoturgeorchideus,norcallforanyemotionsonourpartotherthanthosenaturallyarousedbythevariousobjectswhichitunfoldsintheirtruenatureandproportion.我们遵循或不遵循它；它既不催促我们，也不责备我们，除了以事物的真实性质和比例展现出来而自然地激起我们的感情外，它不要求我们有任何感情。”，A选项后半部分“理性在寻找的过程中利用了情感”与文章不符合，因此A选项正确。B选项“宗教已被证明是解决人类问题的一种无效工具”出现在文章第二段“Bymethodsofthissortlittlecanbedonefortherealbettermentoflife.用这种方法（宗教的方法），对生活的真正改善几乎是无能为力的”；C选项“科学寻求对人类问题的渐进解决办法”对应文章第三段“Whenitexplainseventsorassignscauses,itisanimaginativesubstituteforscience.当它解释事件或分配原因时，它是科学的想象替代品”；D选项“宗教的诗歌常常假定它是真理”对应第三段中“Theconditionandtheaimsoflifearebothrepresentedinreligionpoetically,butthispoetrytendstoarrogatetoitselfliteraltruthandmoralauthority,neitherofwhichitpossesses.生活的目的和条件在宗教中都有诗意的体现，但这种诗意往往把宗教所不具备的字面上的真理和道德上的权威据为己有”。

3.判断推理题。第一段提到题干中两个关键词“religion”和“rationality”。本题问的是宗教的不同之处，因此定位到“religion”相关句“Religionisapartofexperienceitself:amassofsentimentsandideas.Theoneisaninviolateprinciple,theotherachangingandstrugglingforce.Andyetthisstrugglingandchangingforceofreligionseemstodirectmantowardsomethingeternal.Itseemstomakeforanultimateharmonywithinthesoulandforanultimateharmonybetweenthesoulandallthatthesouldependsupon.宗教是经验本身的一部分：大量的情感和思想。一个是不可违背的原则，另一个是变化和奋斗的力量。然而，宗教的这种挣扎和变化的力量似乎把人引向某种永恒的东西。它似乎是为了灵魂内部的终极和谐，以及灵魂和灵魂所依赖的一切之间的终极和谐。”对比选项可知，D选项“它鼓舞了人类”符合上述文意。

4.判断推理题。Reason在本文中的定义出现在第一段“Reason,ontheotherhand,isamereprincipleorpotentialorder,onwhichindeedwemaycometoreflectbutwhichexistsinusideallyonly,withoutvariationorstressofanykind.Weconformordonotconformtoit;itdoesnoturgeorchideus,norcallforanyemotionsonourpartotherthanthosenaturallyarousedbythevariousobjectswhichitunfoldsintheirtruenatureandproportion.另一方面，理性只是一种原则或潜在的秩序，我们确实可以根据它来思考，但它只存在于我们心中，没有任何变化或压力。我们遵循或不遵循它；它既不催促我们，也不责备我们，除了以事物的真实性质和比例展现出来而自然地激起我们的感情外，它不要求我们有任何感情。”A选项unemotional“非感情的”，B选项orderly“有秩序的”，C选项reconciledtotheinevitable“接受不可避免的事实”均出现在上述语句中，D选项imaginative“富于想象的”不符合文中表述，不可用来描述reason。

【答案】在过去的几年里，有关旅游业问题的报道层出不穷。然而，这并不一定是一个问题。

在瑞士阿尔卑斯地区的社区已经明确，他们的未来取决于更有效地将旅游业与当地经济结合起来。

该地区的公共奶酪生产也出现了复兴，为当地人提供了不依赖外来游客的可靠收入来源。

仅仅限制旅游业不能解决这种不平衡，因为人们对新地方观光的渴望不会消失。

现在问题的关键是，这能否成为常态，而不是例外。

问题1选项

A.utilize

B.employ

C.apply

D.exert

【答案】C

【解析】考查动词辨析。utilize“利用”；employ“使用，采用”；apply“申请，应用”；exert“运用，发挥”。句意：最成功的退役后的运动员是那些将他们从运动中学到的技巧和同一性运用到生活的其他领域的人。C项符合题意。

2.语义题。由Thepromiseofalandwhere“therewardsofaman’sindustryfollowwithequalstepstheprogressofhislabor”drewpoorimmigrantsfromEuropeandfuelednationalexpansionintothewesternterritories.在这片土地上，“一个人辛勤劳动的回报与他劳动的进步同步”的承诺吸引了来自欧洲的贫困移民，并推动了国家向西部地区的扩张。可知一个人的回报与其付出成正比，付出越多，回报越大。故A项正确。

4.推理判断题。由第二段“Themythofsuccesshaseveninvadedourpersonalrelationships:todayit’sasimportanttobe“successful”inmarriageorparenthoodsasitistocomeoutontopinbusiness.成功的神话甚至已经侵入了我们的人际关系:今天，在婚姻或父母中取得“成功”和在事业中取得成功一样重要。”可知美国人追求生活各方面的成功。故B项正确。

【答案】第1题:D

第2题:C

第3题:A

第4题:D

第5题:C

【解析】1.词义题。根据第一段的内容可知，“observation”指的是上文所提及的认为大多数美国人和加拿大人友好，礼貌和乐于助人的观点。所以选项D正确。

2.推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知，边境地区人们的生活通常是单调乏味的，所以他们喜欢招待旅行者或陌生人，因为这些陌生人和旅行者不仅带来了消遣，还带来了外部世界的消息。也就是说，给他们的生活带来了些许改变，所以选项C正确。选项A表述太片面；选项B和D在文中没有提及。

3.事实细节题。根据第四段第二句“Yet,theoldtraditionofhospitalitytostrangersisstillverystrongintheUS...”招待陌生人的古老传统在美国仍然非常盛行。选项A符合原文。

4.事实细节题。根据第四段倒数第二句“SuchobservationsreportedbyvisitorstotheUSarenotuncommon,butarenotalwaysunderstoodproperly.”到美国旅游的人持有这样的观点并不罕见，但并不总是能够正确的理解。也就是说，到美国来旅游的游客很难理解美国人的友好。选项D与原文表述一致，所以正确。

5.推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知，第一句为本段的主旨句“Asistrueofanydevelopedsociety,inAmericaacomplexsetofculturalsignalsassumptions,andconventionsunderliesallsocialinterrelationships.”正如任何发达社会一样，在美国，一系列复杂的文化特征，信念和习俗构成了所有社会关系的基础。也就是说，文化对社会关系有很大的影响。选项C符合原文。
