【答案】第1题:B

第2题:C

第3题:A

第4题:A

第5题:C

【解析】1.细节事实题。根据关键词定位到第五段的最后一句“competingcountriespaytheirownathletes’expenses.”参赛国家自己支付自己国家运动员的经费。选项B符合句意。

2.细节事实题。根据第三段的最后一句“Howtheirresultscomparedwithmodernstandards,weunfortunatelyhavenomeansoftelling.”遗憾的是,至于他们的比赛成绩与现代相比究竟如何我们没有根据做出判断。选项C符合原文。

3.细节事实题。根据第二段的最后一句“Theexactsequenceofeventsisuncertain,...”运动项目的具体顺序是不确定的,...。所以选项A符合原文。

4.细节事实题。根据原文第二段的内容可知,奴隶、女性及不忠实的人不允许参加比赛。所以选项B、C、D均错误,只有选项A正确。

5.细节事实题,根据第一段的内容可知,在古希腊,体育节日非常重要,同时它带有强烈的宗教色彩。最终,奥林匹克运动会褪去了当地的特色,在废除了禁止外国人参赛的规定后,成为了国际性的运动会。所以选项A,B,D均表述错误,选项C符合原文。

2.单选题

Weshallneverbeableto（）ourselvestrulyunlessweareworkingforthewelfareofourfellows.

问题1选项

A.realize

B.spot

C.accomplish

D.fulfill

【答案】D

【解析】近义词辨析。realize着重指把过去的计划或意愿变成现实;spot为动词时指的是"沾上污渍";accomplish是正式用词,强调一个过程的完成,也可指依靠努力达到一定目的,或取得一定的结果;fulfill强调梦寐以求,强调满足。句意：除非我们为他人的福利而工作,否则我们永远不可能真正实现自我。选项D更恰当。

A.careless不仔细的，粗心的（没有足够的关注和思考）B.doubtful不确定的，怀疑的

C.invalid病弱者D.worthless没用的，无价值的

【答案】A

【考查点】形容词辨析。

【解题思路】sloppy的意思为“马虎的，草率的（缺乏关心、思考或努力）”，在这里指研究的样本太小，这样的研究非常随意，欠缺考虑，careless与之词义相近，因此A选项正确。

【干扰项排除】B、C、D选项词义与之不符。

【句意】愤怒的工程师们质疑这项研究中小样本的统计意义，并将其贴上草率的标签。

5.单选题

8.单选题

问题1选项

A.lainin

B.consistedin

C.responsiblefor

D.accountedfor

【答案】第1题:B

第2题:B

第3题:A

第4题:B

【解析】1.推理判断题。根据题干定位到第一段Sowhatdifferencewoulditmakeifpolicehadmillionpeople’sgenetic,ratherthanbiometric,material?（那么，如果警方拥有的是数百万人的基因资料，而不是生物特征资料，会有什么不同呢?）可以推测出DNA信息为基因资料，指纹信息为生物特征资料，选B选项“生物特征识别的；基因的”；A选项“基因的；生物特征识别的”，C选项“基因的；基因的”，D选项“生物特征识别的；生物特征识别的”都不符合原文。因此B选项正确。

2.事实细节题。定位到原文第二段ThisPartaddressesthreemisconceptionsaboutforensicDNAtypingthatpermeatetheKingopinion:first,thatDNAtypingwillonlybeofconcerntocriminals;second,thatthepolicewillnotprobesensitiveorprivategeneticinformation,andthatlawsprotectagainstmisuse;andthird,thatcollectingmoreDNAsamplesfromknownindividualswillsolvealotofcrime.（本部分论述了贯穿金观点的关于法医DNA分型的三个误解：首先，DNA分型只会引起罪犯的关注；第二，警方不会调查敏感或私人的基因信息，法律保护不被滥用；第三，从已知个体中收集更多的DNA样本将破获很多犯罪）可知A选项“普通人不会关心DNA分型”，C选项“警方不会调查敏感或私人的基因信息”以及D选项“如果从已知的个体中收集更多的DNA样本，很多犯罪将会被解决”和原文对应；B选项“从个人身上收集的DNA样本越多，侦破的案件就越多”原文未提及。因此B选项符合题意。

3.事实细节题。根据第三段第一句KingmightbeviewedlessasastatementaboutthelegalstatusofDNAsamplingthanaboutthelegalstatusofarrestees.（King可能被看作是一个关于DNA取样的法律地位的声明，而不是关于被捕者的法律地位）可知选A选项“是关于DNA取样的法律地位的声明”，同时可知B选项“关于被逮捕者的法律地位的声明”和原文相悖；第三段ItcouldbeseenassimplyanaturaloutgrowthofSamsonv.California,thecasethatjustifiedrandomsearchesofparoleeswithoutawarrantorsuspicionbasedontheirdiminishedstatusassubjectswithconditionalliberty.（它可以被简单地看作是萨姆森诉加州案的自然结果，在这个案件中，基于假释者作为有条件自由的主体地位的下降，在没有搜查令或怀疑的情况下对他们进行随机搜查是合理的）可知C选项“一个没有搜查令就对假释犯进行随机搜查的案件”错误，萨姆森诉加州案才是一个没有搜查令就对假释犯进行随机搜查的案件；第三段Inthistelling,Kingisnotadeclarationofgeneraldisinterestingeneticprivacy（在这段讲述中，金并不是一个对基因隐私普遍不感兴趣的宣言）可知D选项“是对基因隐私普遍不感兴趣的声明”和原文相悖。因此A选项正确。

4.推理判断题。定位到最后一段末ButifwhatdecidedtheissuefortheCourtwasthatarresteesdeservelessprotectionthan“theaveragecitizen,”thenitseemsthattheCourtcouldhaveresteditsopiniononthosegroundsalone.Inotherwords,theCourtcouldhavesaid,“DNAtestingisaseriousandsignificantintrusiononbodilyintegrity.ButtheConstitutionpermitsthestate,withacompellingenoughinterest,toimpingeonthemostfundamentalaspectsofbodilyprivacywhenitcomestoarrestees.Thus,theConstitutionpermitstheDNAsamplingofanarrestee,despitetheseriousnessoftheintrusioninvolved.”Itcouldhavewalledofftheopinionasacategoricalexceptionthatappliesonlytoconvictedoffendersandarrestees,anddeclaredthelaw-abidingpublic’sDNAoutofbounds.（但是，如果决定最高法院的问题是被逮捕者应得到比“一般公民”更少的保护，那么似乎最高法院可以仅以这些理由作为其意见的依据。换句话说，最高法院可以说，“DNA检测是对身体完整性的严重而重大的侵犯。但是，当涉及到被捕者时，宪法允许国家以足够令人信服的利益侵犯身体隐私的最基本方面。因此，《宪法》允许对被逮捕者进行DNA取样，尽管所涉入侵的情况很严重。”它本可以将这一观点作为只适用于已定罪的罪犯和被逮捕者的绝对例外加以隔离，并宣布守法公众的DNA是不可侵犯的。）可知选B选项“宪法允许对被捕者进行DNA取样”，原文所说是宪法允许国家以足够令人信服的利益侵犯身体隐私的最基本方面，C选项“宪法允许国家侵犯身体隐私的最基本方面”和原文有偏差；A选项“DNA测试是对身体完整性的严重而重要的侵犯”和D选项“法院本可以仅以这些理由作为其意见的依据”是在最高法院的问题是被逮捕者应得到比“一般公民”更少的保护的情况下成立，和题目相悖。因此B选项正确。

【答案】第1题:B

第2题:A

第3题:D

第4题:A

第5题:D

【解析】1.细节题。第三段指出:Capitalpunishmentusedtobeamajordeterrent(死刑是主要的威慑力量),故选B。

2.态度方向。根据题干关键词定位至最后:Didthedefendersofcrime,onewonders,intheir

desireforfair-play,consultthevictimsbeforetheysuspendedcapitalpunishment?Hardly,youseetheycouldn’t,becauseallthevictimsweredead(罪犯的辩护人认为要公平，那是不是在执行死刑前要咨询受害者意见呢？显然这是不可能的，因为所有的受害者都死了)。据此可见作者的预期是具讽刺意味的。

3.词义题。“Capitalpunishment”指的是“判死刑”。

4.细节题。B项：大家都认为所有罪犯都应受到惩罚。文章中并未提到，故排除。C项：作者同情犯罪分子。作者对犯罪分子的态度是否定的，故排除。D项：职业杀手会三思而后行,与文章内容不符。

5.推断题。根据全文大意,可知D项(对犯罪分子要从重处罚，甚至死刑)正确。

19.WhatdowelearnaboutSweden?

【试题答案】A

【试题解析】题目问关于瑞典我们能够了解到什么？录音开头便提及，瑞典是第一个印刷并使用纸币的欧洲国家，但是它将很快摒弃实体货币。A选项中giveuppapermoney是对原文中doawaywithphysicalcurrencies的同义替换，因此A选项“它在不久的将来可能放弃使用纸币”正确。B选项“它是世界上第一个使用信用卡的国家”；C选项“它正在努力清除非法钱财”和D选项“它正在帮助银行提高效率”均是利用录音个别字词设置干扰，录音中并没有相关信息涉及，因此不正确。

20.WhatdidClaerBarrettwanttofindoutwithherexperiment?

【试题答案】D

【试题解析】题目问ClaerBarrett想从她的实验中发现什么?录音中提及ClaerBarrett为了弄清楚是否不使用实体货币就会导致钱花得更多，她决定做一个实验。D选项“是否不使用实体货币就会导致钱花得更多”与录音原文表述相符，因此正确。A选项“不带任何实体货币旅行是否有可能”和C选项“不使用实体货币是否会影响日常生活”在录音中均没有信息提及，因此排除；B选项“一个人的花费是否能够预测”，录音中虽然提及，要预测一个人需要多少现金是非常困难的，但这并不是ClaerBarrett实验的目的，因此可排除。

21.WhatdidClaerBarrettfindonhertrainride?

【试题答案】C

【试题解析】题目问ClaerBarrett在火车上发现了什么?录音中提及，在ClaerBarrett进行实验的期间，有一次，她在搭乘火车旅行的途中遇到了列车广播通知乘客餐车不接受信用卡支付的事件。由此可知，餐车只接受现金支付。因此C选项正确。A选项“她手提包里的现金不见了”；B选项“火车上的服务不好”和D选项“火车上没有餐饮服务”在录音中均没有信息提及，因此可排除。

22.Howdidpeopleofthelastgenerationbudgettheirspending?

【试题答案】B

【试题解析】题目问上一代的人是如何预算他们的开支的？录音结尾提到ClaerBarrett回想起自己父母（即上一代人）年轻时，常常通过将现金放进信封的方式来进行预算开支。B选项是录音原文原词的复现，因此正确。A选项“通过每星期取款”；C选项“通过限制他们的日常开支”和D选项“通过拒绝赊购任何东西”在录音中均未提及，因此排除。

问题1选项

A.havebeenevolved

B.haveevolved

C.havebeeninvolvedwith

D.havebeeninvolvedin

【答案】B

【解析】考查句子结构。句意：巴拉克•奥巴马的当选从某种程度上来说是种族态度逐渐形成的生动的例证。根据句意可首先排除选项C和选项D；evolve意为“发展，进化，逐渐形成”，在本句中不需要使用被动语态，所以选项A不正确，本题选择B选项。
