【答案】在社交生活中，时间扮演着重要的角色。在美国，如果客人在一个聚会的前3天或4天才收到邀请，他们就会觉得自己没有受到高度重视。但并不是所有国家都这样。在世界的其他地方，太早和别人约好时间被认为是愚蠢的，因为超过一个星期的提前预约很容易被人忘掉。时间在不同国家有不同的意义。因此，来自看待时间不同的文化的人之间会产生误会。

【答案】第1题:A

第2题:D

第3题:A

第4题:C

第5题:B

【解析】第1题:1.根据第二段的倒数二三句可知，霍皮族人重视活动中的持久性和重复。他们对无数的、小的、重复的动作的累积价值有一种感觉，因为对他们来说，这些动作不是浪费，而是储存起来，以便在以后的事件中做出改变。所以霍皮族人对运动的时间没有什么直觉，是因为他们的生活方式在很大程度上依赖于毅力和重复。选项A符合原文。

2.根据第三段的内容可知，对霍皮人来说，“时间”是所有已经做过的事情的“以后”，这样过去和现在就会融合在一起。霍皮人的这一观念强调时间的重复性，而不是时间的继续流动。选项D符合原文。

3.根据最后一段的三四句“Americansviewtimeasacommodity,asa“thing”thatcanbesaved,spent,orwasted.Webudgetourtimeaswebudgetourmoney.”美国人认为时间是一种商品，是一种可以节省、花费或浪费的“东西”。我们预算时间就像我们预算金钱一样。选项A符合原文。

4.根据最后一段“Sioux,inwhichthereisnowordfor“late”or“waiting”.”苏族人的文化世界里没有“迟到”或“等候”这些词，所以如果要去参加苏族人的节日，你可能有必要把所有的活动都推迟，选项A正确。

5.根据最后一段的内容可知，美国人对时间的理解是西方文化的典型特征，他们认为时间就是金钱，所以选项B与之观念相反。

问题1选项

B.aggressive

C.ambitious

D.abundant

【答案】C

【解析】考查形容词辨析。arbitrary“任意的，武断的，专制的”；aggressive“侵略性的，有进取心的”；ambitious“雄心勃勃的，有雄心的”；abundant“丰富的，充裕的”。句意：我哥哥的计划很有野心，他想在16岁前掌握英语，法语和西班牙语。C项符合题意。

8.翻译题

随着人民生活水平和消费水平的提高，中国的垃圾问题日益严峻，很多城市被垃圾包围。面对日益增长的垃圾产量和环境状况的恶化，中国政府正在努力推行垃极分类(garbageclassification)的政策。垃圾分类是指将垃圾分为可回收利用和不可回收利用两类，要求人们将垃圾投放至不同的垃圾桶(trashcan)，通过不同的清理、运输和回收方式，使之变成新的资源。

【解析】1.【试题答案】D

【试题解析】细节事实题。由题干可以定位到文中第一段第三句Successivegovernmentsmayclaimwithsomejusticetohaveabolishedpoverty,butthishasnotbeendonewithouttheretakingplaceanarrowingofmarginsbetweentherewardsforskilledandunskilledlabor,withitsconsequentdenialofincentivetoacquireskill,tostriveforself-improvement（历届政府可能会不无道理地宣称已经消除了贫困，但这一切都发生在对熟练工人和非熟练工人的报酬差距缩小的情况下，这就剥夺了人们获得技能、追求自我提高的动力）。D选项“技能学习和自我提高都不受欢迎”，文章第一段提到，消除贫困的结果就是剥夺了人们获得技能，追求自我提高的动力，D选项正确。A选项“贫富之间的巨大差异”，文章没有提到此内容，可排除。C选项“照顾弱者变得更加重要”，文章所说，照顾弱者早已成为比其他许多国家更重要的考虑因素，而不是消除贫困所带来的结果，可排除。因此D选项正确。

2.【试题答案】C

【试题解析】细节事实题。由题干可以定位到文中第三段第一句Thefactisoftendeploredthatsomanyyoungmenofthehighestabilityprefertotakeupacareeroverseas,butitisdoubtfulwhetherhighersalarieswouldstemtheirexodusinmorethanaminordegree（事实往往令人遗憾的是，如此多的最有能力的年轻人宁愿在海外工作，但更高的薪水是否能阻止他们离开，而不仅仅是一个次要学位，这是值得怀疑的）。C选项“更多的机会在国外”，从文章来看，文章提到无论金钱的高低，知识精英们都会被诱惑到国外去寻找比新西兰这样一个小国更广阔的领域，也就可以推测，海外有更多的机会，C选项的内容符合文章所说。A选项“国内竞争激烈”，文章没有提到这个内容，可排除。B选项“海外较高的社会地位”，文章没有提到此内容，B选项可排除。D选项“国内的金钱回报”，文章所说，无论经济回报的高低，知识精英们都会被诱惑到国外去，D选项可排除。因此C选项正确。

3.【试题答案】D

【试题解析】细节事实题。由题干可以定位到文章第四段倒数第三句Theruleofconformityprevails,andiftheAmericanwriter,SydneyGreenbie,istobebelieved,ithasalreadyproducedaconsiderablemeasureofstandardizationamongtheinhabitantsoftheDominion.（顺从的原则占上风，如果美国作家西德尼•格林比的话可信的话，它已经在自治领居民中产生了相当程度的标准化）。D选项“遵守；符合”，从文章来看，新西兰社会中顺从原则会占上风，可推测，遵守最能描述新西兰社会，D选项正确。A选项“卖弄；虚饰”，文章没有提到这一点，A选项可排除。B选项“古怪；怪癖”，文章没有提到此内容，可排除B选项。C选项“个性；个人”，文章所说强烈的个性或怪癖在新西兰人身上很少有明显的表现，即使有，这些品质也得到容忍而不是赞赏，可排除C选项。因此D选项正确。

4.【试题答案】C

【试题解析】细节事实题。由题干可以定位到文章第五段倒数第二句Resultsofasurveyinwhichacrosssectionofthepublicwasaskedtoansweraseriesofappositequestionsshowed,forexample,thatdoctors,lawyers,andbigbusinessmenweregradedaboveheadsofGovernmentDepartments,clergymen,anduniversityprofessors;thatofficeworkersratedhigherthanshopassistants,minersthanwharflaborers,andsoon.（医生、律师、大商人等级高于政府部门负责人、神职人员、大学教授”等一系列相关问题的调查结果显示，“医生、律师、大商人等级高于政府部门负责人、神职人员、大学教授等级”；办公室工作人员比店员得分高，矿工比码头工人得分高，等等）。也就可以推测，新西兰社会是存在着阶级关系，并且造成阶级关系明显的就是贫富差距。C选项“富人和穷人之间的差别很大”，符合文章内容，贫富差距造成的阶级关系，C选项正确。A选项“在新西兰，势利是不受欢迎的”，文章所说，势力如果被禁止，那么它就会在别的地方新出现，可排除A选项。B选项“富有的人似乎享有较高的社会地位”，文章没有提到富人会享受更高的社会地位，B选项可排除。D选项“新西兰人没有固定的收入来源”，文章没有提到此内容，可排除。因此C选项正确。

5.【试题答案】D

【试题解析】推理判断题。由题干可以定位到文章最后一段。D选项“探究社会差异”，文章没有提到这个内容，人们不会去探究社会的差异，D选项正确。A选项“把懒惰看成一种恶习”，可以定位到文章第六段第二句Itwasindeedacrimetoremainidle,andthehabitofseeingidlenessasavicehasendured.（整天无所事事确实是一种罪过，把无所事事视为恶习的习惯一直存在着），也就是把懒惰看成一种恶习，A选项正确。B选项“尽量不闲着”，文章第六段第一句workhasavirtueinitsownright,withoutregardtoitsusefulness.（工作本身有一种优点，不管它有没有用处），当人们把工作视为一种美德的时候，那么可推测，人们会自愿出去工作，B选项可排除。C选项“不接受特权阶级”，文章第六段第一句Aprivilegedclassbeingalsoaleisuredclass,itsrejectionisinkeepingwithadeep-seatedbelief.（特权阶级也是一个悠闲的阶级，对它的排斥与一种根深蒂固的信念是一致的），可推测如果人们去工作，便不会接受特权，C选项可排除。因此D选项正确。

【答案】第1题:A

第2题:D

第3题:B

第4题:C

第5题:D

【解析】1.細节事实题。根据文章第一段的OneJanuary,Ihadtoofficiateattwofuneralsonsuccessivedaysfor“fullofyears”astheBiblewouldsay;bothyieldedtothenormalwearingoutofthebodyafteralongandfulllife(那是在一月，我连着为两位年迈的老人主持葬礼,正如圣经中所说，这两位老人都是在经历了漫长和完整的人生之后的身体正常耗尽)可知选项A“两位老人终其天年”与文章意思相符。

2.判断推理题。题目是问“作者需要为两位老人办理丧事的原因有可能是什么。选项A:因为作者想安慰这两个家，B:因为作者是那个社区的公务人员，C:因为作者对死者怀有无限同情和D:因为作者是当地教堂的牧师，并且根据原文Ihadtoofficiateattwofuneralsonsuccessivedaysfor“fullofyears”as...中的关键词officiate“主持宗教仪式”和onsuccessivedays“连续”可知极有可能的原因是选项D。

3.细节事实题。根据题干信息Peoplefeelguiltyforthedeathsoftheirloved定位至第三段:Priestsknowthatanytimethereisadeath,thesurvivorswillfeelguilty.,而后面紧接着说到原因:Becausethecourseofactiontheytookturnedoutbadly,theybelievedthattheoppositecourse—keepingMotherathome,postponingtheoperationthatwouldhaveturnedoutbetter(当他们的行动计划引起了坏的结果时，他们就会相信如果当初采取不同的行动计划，如将母亲留在家里以及将计划延期，那么结果就会好很多)，由此可知人们通常会对至亲的去世感到内疚是因为他们认为自己对于至亲的去世负有贵任，即选项B。

4.语义题。第四段主要是对我们常常会感到自责的原因之一的介绍，根据这—段中的Thefirstisourpressingneedtobelievethattheworldmakessense,thatthereisacauseforeveryeffectandareasonforeverythingthathappens.“一方面是因为我们非常相信世界自有其道理，也就是说世间的一切都有某发生存在的原因”可知theworldmakessense意思是世间的一切都有其发生存在的原因，故答案选项为C。

5.细节事实题。根据文章最后一句话Veryoften,wedonotcompletelyoutgrowthatinfantilenotionthatourwishescausethingstohappen.“通常，我们都没有从那个婴儿时期形成的观念中摆脱出来，即一切事件都发生都取决于我们自身的意念”，故答案选项为D“他们自身的意念是导致一切发生的根本原因”。

16.单选题

Intoday’smedical,littleagreementexistsonthe______fordefiningmentalillness.

C.criteria

D.measures

【答案】C

【解析】【选项释义】

A.legislation立法，法律B.requirement要求，必要条件

C.criteria判断标准D.measures措施，方法

【考查点】名词辨析。

【解题思路】由definingmentalillness（定义精神疾病）和agreement（意见）可知，“判断标准”符合句子意思。因此，该题选择C项正确。

【干扰项排除】A、B、D选项都不符合句意。

【句意】在今天的医学中，关于定义精神疾病的标准几乎没有一致的意见。
