【答案】第1题:D

第2题:B

第3题:C

第4题:C

第5题:C

【解析】1.主旨大意题。题干：第一段主要是关于_______。A选项“人类经历的内在价值”，B选项“非人类动物经历的内在价值”，C选项“生态系统作为一个整体的内在价值”，D选项“一个关于内在价值本质的古老伦理问题”,前三个选项在第一段中都有提到，但并不是主要问题的所在，而第四个选项，在第二句话中就点了出来，前三个选项是第四个选项的展开说明，故D是正确答案。

2.推理判断题。题干：我们不欠后代任何东西________。根据关键词“oweto”“futuregenerations”可以定位到文章第二段第三句话Fromasocialcontractviewofethicsorfortheethicalegoist,theanswerwouldseemtobe:nothing.（从伦理学的社会契约观点或道德自我主义者的角度来看，答案似乎是：什么都不亏欠。），可知，B选项“伦理学的社会契约观点”，是正确的。文章并没有提及作者个人观点，所以A选项“在作者的观点看来”排除。从文章第二段第五句话Mostotherethicaltheories,however,dogiveweighttotheinterestsofcominggenerations.Utilitarians,forone,wouldnotthinkthatthefactthatmembersoffuturegenerationsdonotexistyetisanyreasonforgivinglessconsiderationtotheirintereststhanwegivetoourown.（然而，其他大多数伦理理论确实考虑到了后代的利益。举例来说，功利主义者不会认为，后代成员还不存在这一事实，是我们对后代利益的考虑少于我们对自己利益考虑的任何理由。），所以C选项“功利主义者”排除。环境保护主义者也认为，我们应该为后代考虑，所以D选线项“环境保护主义者”排除。综上所述，本题的正确答案是B选项。

3.事实细节题。题干：我们采取的人口政策被认为是_______。根据关键词“populationpolicy”可以定位到文章第三段，第一句话明确指出Thequestionbecomesmuchmorecomplex,however（然而，问题会变得越来越复杂），所以本题的正确答案是C选项。

4.细节推理题。题干：根据文章，最适宜的人口数量_________。文章第三段后半部分提出了最合适的人口数量的问题。用两个问句提出对这一问题的两种可能的答案，即Isitthatpopulationsizeatwhichtheaveragelevelofwelfarewillbeashighaspossible?Orisitthesizeatwhichthetotalamountofwelfare—theaveragemultipliedbythenumberofpeople—isasgreataspossible?(是在人口规模上，平均福利水平会尽可能高吗？或者是总福利的规模——平均乘以人口的数量——尽可能大？)，并在结尾的最后一句话中指出，andthequestionremainsoneofthemostbafflingmysteriesinappliedethics.（这一问题仍是应用伦理学中最令人不解的谜之一。），其意就是仍有待于将来解决，所以C选项“这是一个只能留到将来解决哲学问题”是正确答案。A选项“最适宜的人口数量指平均福利水平尽可能高的人口规模”，B选项“最适宜的人口数量指福利总额最大的人口规模”，A，B选项都是文章提出的问题，未被证实，所以不正确，D选项“最适宜的人口数量是一个困难的哲学问题，德里克•帕菲特在《理性与人》中成功地解决了这个问题”德里克•帕菲特只是在书中提到Whatisoptimumpopulation?但是并没有解决，所以D选项不正确，综上所述，本题的正确答案是C选项。

5.主旨大意题。题干：最适合文章的标题应该是________。本文主要讨论的并不是环境问题，而是由环境问题而引出的道德问题，A选项“应用道德中的谜”是最后一段提到的，B选项是“我们对下一代的责任”是第二段提到的，二者都不足以代表整篇文章的思想内容。所以本题的正确答案应该是C选项“环境伦理”。

2.单选题

Ayoungmanseesasunsetand,unabletounderstandorexpresstheemotionthatit（

）inhim,concludesthatitmustbethegatewaytoaworldthatliesbeyond.

问题1选项

A.reflects

B.retains

C.radiates

D.rouses

【答案】D

【解析】考查动词辨析。A选项reflect“反射（光、热、声或影像）”；B选项retain“保持”；C选项radiate“辐射，发射”；D选项rouse“唤醒，激起（某种情感）”。句中的it指代前面的sunset，根据语境，可知选D，表示“theemotionthatitrouses（日落激起的情感）”。句意：一个年轻人看到日落，无法理解或表达它在他心中激起的情感，他得出结论，日落想必是通往遥远世界的大门。

3.单选题

【答案】A

【解析】考查虚拟语气。表示建议、要求、命令相关的单词+that引导的宾语从句，从句要用虚拟语气。其形式是should（可以省略）+动词原形。句意：老师建议她的学生写一篇关于他们有关ESP经历的作文。所以本题的正确答案是A选项。

4.单选题

问题1选项

A.favorable

B.predictable

C.dependable

D.reasonable

【答案】B

【答案】1.【参考译文】这是满足人的生理和（在一定限度内）安全需要的手段，可以由管理部门提供，也可以不提供。就业本身就是一种手段，工资、工作条件和福利也是如此。通过这些手段，只要一个人在为生存而挣扎，他就可以被控制。

2.【参考译文】它可以创造这样的条件，鼓励并使他能够为自己寻求这样的满足，也可以通过不创造这些条件来阻挠他。

3.【参考译文】但是，通过满足低层需求，管理者丧失了使用激励器的能力，而传统理论已将其作为奖励、承诺、激励或威胁以及其他强制性手段所依赖的手段。

4.【参考译文】不管是硬还是软，通过方向和控制进行管理的哲学都无法激发人们的积极性，因为如今这种方法所依赖的人类需求已不再是行为的重要推动者。

5.【参考译文】人们被剥夺了在工作中满足现在对他们来说很重要的需求的机会，他们表现得恰如我们所预料的那样，表现为懒惰、消极、抵制变革、缺乏责任感、乐于追随煽动者、对经济利益的不合理要求。

问题1选项

A.Self-important

B.Self-declared

C.Self-conscious

D.Self-motivated

【解析】考查形容词辨析。self-important“妄自尊大的，高傲的”；self-declared“自命的，自称的”；self-conscious“自觉的，自发的”；self-motivated“自我激励的，有上进心的”。句意：有上进心的人往往能在工作中找到意义，他们通常富有创造力，乐于帮助同事，营造和谐的工作氛围。选项D符合题意。

【答案】第1题:A

第2题:C

第3题:A

第4题:D

第5题:A

【解析】第1题:1.观点态度题。文章第三段中提到“ThevisionoftherichemptycontinentisstillapartoftheAmericanunconsciousinspiteoftheGreatCrowdinganditsattendantmiseries”，说明在美国人无意识的想象中，他们所处的大陆依然是富饶而空无的。因此A选项“仍然相信美国大部分地区无人居住”符合题意。

第2题:2.事实细节题。由题干关键词定位到文章第二段，文中提到“…economicequalityhasneverbeenanAmericanideal.Infact,itistheoneunmentionablesubjectinourpolitics,asthesenatorfromSouthDakotarecentlydiscoveredwhenhecameupwithafewquasi-egalitariantaxreforms.”由此可知，美国人的理想中从未包括经济平等，这是政治上一个难以启齿的话题，而这些是这个参议员在他提出几项类似平等的税收改革时发现的。由此可以推断，参议员的税收改革失败了，C选项符合题意。

第3题:3.事实细节题。由题干关键词定位到文章第五段，文中提到“Between1800and1805Jeffersonhadseentoitthatanempireinpossehadbecomeanempireinesse”，杰斐逊注意到，一个潜在的帝国已经成为一个真正的帝国。A选项符合题意。

第4题:4.判断推理题。文章第六段中提到“TheauthoroftheDeclarationofIndependencewasquiteabletoforgettheunalienablerightsofanyonewhosepropertyhethoughtshouldbejoinedtoourempire—awordwhichcropsupfrequentlyandunselfconsciouslyinhiscorrespondence.”《独立宣言》的作者杰斐逊完全忘记了公民的不可剥夺的权利，在著作《独立宣言》时却把这一点放在最重要的地位，那就是liberalism“自由主义”。因此D选项符合题意。

第5题:5.观点态度题。由题干定位到文章第六段，“SubvertingtheConstitutionhehadhelpedcreate,JeffersonboughtLouisianafromNapoleon,acquiringitscitizenswithouttheirconsents.TheauthoroftheDeclarationofIndependencewasquiteabletoforgettheunalienablerightsofanyonewhosepropertyhethoughtshouldbejoinedtoourempire—awordwhichcropsupfrequentlyandunselfconsciouslyinhiscorrespondence”，杰斐逊推翻了他帮助制定的宪法，从拿破仑那买下了路易斯安那州，忘记了公民不可剥夺的权利······。作者认为这“被看作一种伪善的行为”，A选项符合题意。

11.单选题

问题1选项

A.proficient

B.persistent

C.consistent

D.sufficient

【答案】A

【解析】proficient精通的,熟练的;persistent持续的;consistent连续的,一致的;sufficient足够的。句意：严重残疾的人也能够掌握很多生存证明,比尔就是其中的例证。

12.单选题

Itwasthetrainingthathehadasayoungman______madehimsuchagoodengineer.

问题1选项

A.what

B.which

C.that

D.who

【答案】C

【解析】考查宾语从句和强调句型。该句的第一个that引导的是宾语从句，做hehad的宾语，因此空格处应填that从而构成强调句型。陈述句的强调句型为Itis/was+被强调部分（通常是主语、宾语或状语）+that/who（当强调主语且主语指人）+其他部分。该句强调部分是物，因此用that。句意：正是他年轻时所受的训练使他成为如此优秀的工程师。因此C选项正确。

13.单选题

Marry（

）myletter;otherwiseshewouldhaverepliedbeforenow.

问题1选项

A.hasreceived

B.oughttohavereceived

C.couldn'thavereceived

D.shouldn’thavereceived

【答案】C

【解析】句意:玛丽应该没有收到我的信，不然她应该己经给我回信的。

语法题。考查虚拟语气。由关键信息otherwise(否则)可知“Marrymyletter”表示对过去的推测。故选C,couldn’thavedone表示对过去某事的否定猜测。

第2题:B

第3题:D

第4题:C

第5题:C

【解析】1.细节事实题。题目问的是“调查表明在40年民众对美国政府的信心下降了多少？”根据文章第二段可知现在是1995年，说明40年前是1954年。文章第一段提到有67%的人认为大政府对国家未来的威胁最大。而1954年只有16%人认为大政府有威胁（A1954OpinionResearchCorp.Pollfoundthatonly16percentofAmericansindictedbiggovernment,giventhesamethreechoices），由此可知国民对政府的信心下降了51%。选项B符合题意。

2.细节事实题。题目问的是“在大萧条时期前美国政府在民众的心中是怎样的？”文章第二段最后一句提到“我们又回到了大萧条时期美国人对华盛顿本能的谨慎”（We'vereturnedtotheinstinctiveAmericanwarinessofWashingtonsocommonbeforetheGreatDepression），说明在大萧条时期政府在民众心中的地位就低，选项B符合题意。

3.推理判断题。文章第六段提到89%的人认为国会会把事情搞砸（Acrossgenerations,athumping89percentthoughtthelatter."Congressalwaysseemstobescrewingup,"saysoneyoungXer），选项D符合题意。

4.词义题。文章第五段第一句提到在样本中，62%的美国人认为政客的道德和诚实度已经下降（OfAmericansinoursample,62percentbelievethatpoliticians’ethicsandhonestyhavefallen），以及比起通过好的法规，议员们花更多的时间在他们的政治前途上吗？（Ordomembers"spendmoretimethinkingabouttheirpoliticalfuturesthanpassinggoodlegislation?）可知这里的政治前途指的是权利地位，选项C符合题意。

5.推理判断题。文章最后一段提到由于年龄较大的人在工作中更稳定，他们往往更满意（sinceolderpeople,whoaremoreestablishedintheirjobs,tendtobemoresatisfied），选项C符合题意。

15.单选题
