【答案】第1题:B

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。

【答案】第1题:D

第2题:D

第3题:B

第4题:A

第5题:C

【解析】1.细节题。第一段指出:machinewouldremainslightlyunpredictable(机器有一点不可预测),因此D项与原文不符。

2.细节题。第二段:Thewholeprocesswouldbeaccomplishedinasubtlewaytoavoidgivinganimpressionofover-familiaritythatwouldbelikelytoproduceirritation(整个过程将以一种微妙的方式完成，以避免给人一种过于熟悉的印象，这可能会引起不安)。表明这种电脑与人类建立关系的过程是'inasubtleway,故选D项(不显眼的，不引人注意的)。

3.细节题。第一段:itwouldsometimestaketheinitiativeindevelopingorchangingthetopicandwouldhaveapersonalityofitsown(它有时会主动发展或改变话题，并拥有自己的个性),可以看出A跟D项有提到,butasitcametoknowtheuseritwouldprogresstoamorerelaxedandintimatestyle(但当它逐渐了解用户时，它会发展成一种更轻松、更贴心的风格),可以看出C项有提到。而B选项(对早起的接触很敏感)与"Initsfirstencounteritmightbesomewhathesitant"不符,故选B。

4.态度方向。形容这种电脑作者用到的词汇有:comfortable、interesting等,不难看出作者对这种电脑的态度是"favorable"赞赏的。

5.主旨大意题。作者介绍了这种“仿真交际”电脑与人类如何建立关系，并围绕这种电脑的各项特点来介绍它是具有人情味、人性化的,因此C项作标题最合适。

3.单选题

Toomuch（）toX-rayscancauseskinburns,cancerorotherdamagetothebody.

问题1选项

A.exposure

B.disclosure

C.contact

D.connection

【答案】A

【解析】考查固定搭配。exposureto“暴露于”；disclosure“揭发”；contact“接触”；connection“联系”。句意：过多暴露在X射线下对皮肤有伤害，也可能导致癌症或者其他伤害。选项A符合题意。

4.写作题

【答案】第1题:B

第2题:A

第3题:B

第4题:C

第5题:D

第6题:D

【解析】1.细节事实题。文章第一段提到现在资本主义依赖于它创造和增加稀缺的能力，在很大程度上依赖于无处不在的嫉妒（Moderncapitalismreliesonitsabilitytocreateandincreasescarcityanditthereforedependslargelyontheomnipresenceofenvy），通过嫉妒几乎所有的商品都可能转化成令人向往的商品（Throughenvynearlyanyobjectcanturnintoadesirablecommoditypromisingunendinghappiness），由此可知嫉妒能够促使人们去拥有更多更好的商品，因此选项B符合题意。

2.判断推理题。文章第一段倒数第二句话提到只要人们渴望别人渴望的东西，我们生活中稀缺的商品就不会有止境，这样我们的经济就能得以运转（Aslongaspeopledesirewhatothersdesirescarcitywillbethenever-endingconditionofourlivesthatkeepsoureconomyrunning），因此选项A”追求虚荣”符合题意。

3.判断推理题。文章第二段第三句话提到海报、公告和电视广告像我们展示了令人嫉妒的人拥有我们没有的但需要有的东西，通过拥有这些东西可以获得幸福（Posters,announcementsandTV-spotsshowusenviablepeoplewhohavethosethingsandgoodswelackbutnonethelessneedtogainhappiness），因此选项B”得到广告中的东西就能得到幸福”就是广告给消费者带来的幻觉。

4.判断推理题。文章倒数第二段提到嫉妒似乎失去了它传统的坏名声，越来越多的广告直接提到嫉妒，使他们的商品更受欢迎，其中一个著名的例子就是意大利Gucci公司生产的一款名为”Envy”的香水。由此可知越来越多的广告直接将这个词当成了卖点，因此选项C符合题意。

5.判断推理题。文章中广告利用的嫉妒心与传统意义上的坏的嫉妒是不一样的，广告利用的嫉妒心是指你受人嫉妒的不仅是你所拥有的东西，还有这个东西所代表的自我（youwillnotonlybeenviedforsomeexternalobjectthatbelongstoyoubutforyourveryself-embodiedinaseductivefragrance），因此除此之外的嫉妒都可算作badenvy。因此选项D符合题意。

6.细节事实题。文章最后一段提到激情（嫉妒）把一个怯弱的、无所事事的世外桃源变成了一种繁荣的文化，他称其为”嫉妒的、攀比的虚荣”，使得嫉妒与模仿之间没有明确的界限（WhereImmanuelKant,forinstance,referstothepassionsnatureusestoturnasheepish,idleandinactiveArcadiaintoaprosperousculturehereferstoan“enviouslycompetitivevanity”thatnolongerallowsaneatdistinctionbetweenenvyandemulation），因此选项D符合题意。

6.单选题

______isoftenthecasewithanewidea,muchpreliminaryactivityandoptimisticdiscussionproducednoconcreteproposals.

问题1选项

A.That

B.It

C.This

D.As

【答案】D

【解析】考查关系代词的用法。as在做关系代词时，表示“正如……一样”。句意：正如新想法经常出现的情况一样，许多初步活动和乐观的讨论都不会产生具体的建议。因此D选项符合题意。

事实上，与普通高校毕业生相比，名校毕业生由于享受更好的资源、受到更好的教育，所以他们也就更有创造力和生产力。而且，从知名高校毕业的学生会发现自己无论在心理上还是在学术上都更突出一些，因而也更加自信，这就形成了良性循环。

几周以前，英国食品标准局(FSA)发表了一份报告。报告评估了有机生产的水果、蔬菜、肉类、蛋类和奶制品等与非有机生产的同类食品营养水平的差异。这是一项完整而严谨的研究。通过研究他们发现，在营养成分上，有机和非有机食品间的差距可以忽略不计。

根据心理学家克里斯托弗•彼得森的观点，自尊与幸福度和生活满意度有关。我们尊心越强，幸福度和生活满意度就越高。它要求我们对自己的自尊有清醒的认识，但不要期待自己会十全十美。要原谅自己犯下的错误，并尽快摆脱消极的态度。

肥胖是一场全国性的健康危机，并且毫不夸张地说，它对我们大家都很重要。它危险生命、消耗金钱。目前在华盛顿进行的医疗改革谈论中，现在是我们作为一个国家和个人采取行动解决这一问题的时候了。虽然传染病曾威胁我们祖父母一代，但慢性疾病正在折磨着我们，侵蚀着我们的幸福，而肥胖是根本原因。肥胖的增长与我国目前正在经历的心脏病、高血压和糖尿病的爆发密切相关。

领导力发挥作用的环境正在发生改变，因此过去强调硬实力的理论正逐渐过时。在现代企业和民主国家，权力日益扩散，传统的等级制度正在受到破坏，使软实力变得更加重要。但是那并不意味着高压政治现在应该让位于劝导手段。相反，应该综合这两种观点。《领导的力量》这本书的结论强调称为巧实力的软硬实力的结合才是最好的方法。

对艾米丽•狄金森来说，存在三种世界，她生活在这三种世界之中，使它们成为她思想和写作的材料。一种是自然的世界，为她所看、所听、所感受到的事物和生物；一种是友情的世界，是属于“个人财产”；还有一种看不见、听不见的世界。从她年轻的时候起，人们就认为她与众不同。她直率、冲动、独树一帜。另外，她还是一位爱打趣的才女，是那种能说出别人想说去敢说说的不合常规的想法，而且说得非常好。这些使她不为所知晓她的人所理解的性格特征继续令人迷惑和惊讶，因为她生活在矛盾之中。

【答案】第1题:A

第2题:D

第3题:C

第4题:B

第5题:D

【解析】1.根据第一段的第三句“OnlyrecentlyhasLatinAmericabeguntoreceivesomeattentionaswell.”选项A与原文不符，所以本题选A。

2.根据关键词定位到第二段的一二句“TheNazca“lines”ofPeruwerediscoveredinthe1930s.Theselinesaredeeplycarvedintoaflat,stonyplain,...”选项D符合原文。

3.根据第二段的三四句“Seenatgroundlevel,...—meaningfromanaircraft.”从地面上看，感觉杂乱无章，毫无意义。图像太大所以只能在1000英尺的高度上观看——也就是在飞机上。由此可以推断，越高看得越清晰，选项C正确。

4.根据第三段的第一句“TodaythereisanewandheightenedinterestintheNazcalines.ItisdirectresultofthecreationoftheInternet.”现在人们对Nazca线条有了更多的兴趣，它是因互联网出现而导致的直接结果。所以选项B符合原文。

5.根据最后一段的内容可知,作者认为互联网能够帮助解开更多的未知之谜，这是一个正确的方向。所以，作者的态度是积极乐观的，选项D正确。cautious谨慎的；pessimistic悲观的；uncertain不确定的。
