ReadthefollowingshortparagraphcarefullyandthentranslateitintoEnglish.

宇宙间繁星密布，人们以为这之中有一些如我们的太阳一样为行星环绕，而在这些行星上可能存在有智能的生物，或许他们比我们更先进。所以有可能在百万年左右某些生物乘坐自己的飞船穿越太空时，会发现我们的某艘“旅行者(Voyager)”号飞船。星球之间的距离十分遥远，这样的一次相聚可能性极小，但这并不是完全不可能的。科学家希望有机会和我们遥远的邻居传递信息，让他们知道我们这个蓝色的星球曾经是相当聪明的、多少有点文明的人类的家园。

问题1选项

A.wasFrankSinatrafamous

B.famouswasFrankSinatra

C.FrankSinatrawasfamous

D.wasfamousFrankSinatra

【答案】C

【解析】考查同位语。句意：法兰克辛纳屈，一个歌手及演员，他因美妙且富有表现力的声音而闻名。在句子中singerandentertainer是对FrankSinatra的同位语解释。根据短语结构befamousfor表示“因……而闻名”可知，本题正确答案为C项。

【解析】考查动词辨析。wither“枯萎凋谢（一般指植物）”；shorten“变短（一般指距离）”；reduce“减少”。本句意为“农村距离城市越来越远，因此，与外界的联系也会减少”，与外界联系减少用reduce。因此选D。

【解析】考查形容词辨析。A选项swift“迅速的；敏捷的”；B选项instant“立即的；紧迫的”；C选项timely“及时的；适时的”；D选项punctual“准时的；守时的”。句意：为了给未来的雇主留下印象，职员应该穿戴整洁，……，显示对工作的兴趣。目的是impressafutureemployer“给未来雇主留下好的印象”，应该要dressneatly“穿戴整洁”，bepunctual“守时的”，而且显示出对这份工作的兴趣。就像是一场面试，最重要的还是要守时。因此D选项符合题意。

8.单选题

【答案】1.常常是写书的人已经化为了一堆黄土而其著作却依旧立在书架上积聚尘土，但恰恰是死后占有这方寸之地的欲望驱使人提起笔杆。

2.有人说过进行哲学思考就是一步步趋向死亡。不管是谁说的。这种说法从几种意义上来说都是有道理的，因为一个人绝不会因为写一本书而变年轻。

3.更重要的是，要写一本好书，一个作家必须读大量的低俗书籍，否则他将无法制定必要的标准。

4.因此，我们需要阅读反映人类的困惑的作品。我们还需要一些指导，指导我们在所有印刷过的书籍中寻找好的作品。

5.当然，这个指导的角色该由文学批评或评论家来扮演的。可叹的是它的指针摇摆不定。指向的方位对某些人来说是北边，对另一些人来说却是南边。

【答案】C

【解析】考查动词辨析。A选项givenup“放弃”；B选项stoodup“站起来，坚持”；C选项leftup“离开，丢下”；D选项takenup“拿起，开始从事，占据（时间，地方）”。句意：那天晚上我本来要和你妹妹一起去听音乐会的，但是你妹妹没来。真不敢相信我被_____。这里因为另一个人的妹妹没有来，所以说话的人应该是觉得自己“被丢下/抛弃了”，因此C选项符合题意。

13.单选题

Somecultureshavecustomsthat（）theclothingfashionsofpeopleincertainsocialclasses.

问题1选项

A.modify

B.alter

C.regulate

D.revise

问题1选项

A.whethertheybe

B.whetheritbe

C.wouldtheybe

D.woulditbe

【答案】B

【解析】考查语法结构。句意：我们提供各种各样的服务，以满足您的要求，无论是网页设计，图形设计，网页开发，或任何其他。根据句意可知，这里表示的是“无论….”，可首先排除选项C和选项D；其次，原句中并列的几个选择性词组都是单数形式，所以这里的代词也应该使用单数，选项B为正确答案。

19.翻译题

我们的大多数感觉都是被动式的。以听觉和视觉为例，我们只是简单地接受和分析声音或光线。然而，触觉则有所不同：我们用双手主动地去探索和改变现实，因此我们在采集信息时的活动同样也可以改变世界…例如用一块粘土塑模或按动某个按钮。在提供人与人之间的直接接触中，触觉传递情感冲击；在提供人与世界的直接接触中，触觉成为现实的确切标志，正如：“掐我一下我是在做梦吗？”

71.【考查点】上下文关联。

【解题思路】第一段说到“预算削减（Budgetcuts）从来不是令人愉快的。”，介绍了英国职业培训方面预算削减的情况，B选项中的“cutcosts（削减成本）”和上文的“Budgetcuts（预算削减）”相对应。因此B选项“他的机构是由三所当地学院合并而成的，这些学院在过去的一年里集中了资源，部分原因是为了削减成本。”正确。

72.【考查点】上下文关联。

【解题思路】本段说到“对中小学（primaryandsecondaryschools）的资助大幅增加。但是用于继续教育（furthereducation）的资金却没有增加。”，介绍了政府对不同类型学校的资金资助情况，A选项中的“Universities（大学）”也属于一种学校类型。因此A选项“大学被赋予通过向学生征收学费来提高收入的权利。”正确。

73.【考查点】上下文关联。

【解题思路】上文说到“英国历来很少重视（putlittleemphasison）继续教育。”，E选项中的“在二十个成员国中名列第十六位”就是这一情况带来的结果。因此E选项“2012年，在经合组织二十个成员国中，在完成教育并获得职业资格的二十至四十五岁的人的比例排名中，它名列第十六位。”正确。

74.【考查点】上下文关联。

【解题思路】上文说到“2015年，政府委托塞恩思伯里勋爵调查英格兰的技术教育状况。”，C选项中的“Hisreport,publishedin2016（他在2016年发表的报告）”和上文的“2015年”相对应。因此C选项“他在2016年发表的报告中，对一个想当水管工的人必须在五个授予机构提供的三个不同级别的三十三个资格证书中做出选择感到绝望。”正确。

75.【考查点】上下文关联。

【解题思路】下文说到“而那些继续获得同等学历（qualifications）的人将获得贷款以支付生活成本。”，由此可知空格处应该再说为学生提供学历，D选项中的“awardthequalification（授予学历）”和上文的“goontotakedegree-equivalentqualifications（继续获得同等学历）”相对应。因此D选项“各组织将为授予学历的权利而竞争。”正确。
