50.refreshed作者在同班同学之间做了一个关于午后小睡的调查。文章介绍了调查结果。41.考查副词。该空做时间状语，故要填副词recently。42.考查动名词。句意：最近，我做了一个关于午后小睡的调查。该空做介词on的宾语，故填动名词taking。43.考查冠词。forawhile意为“一会儿”。44.考查固定句式。prefertodosth.意为“宁愿做某事”，是prefer的固定用法，故该空填to。45.考查谓语动词。句意：他们经常选择在家里睡觉。该句主语为they，该空作谓语，且该句陈述的是客观事实，故该空要用一般现在时态。填choose。

46.考查连词。句意：他们经常选择在家里而不是在教室或宿舍里睡觉。根据句意，该空填or。47.考查名词。该控在句中做主语，填名词。makearrangements/makeanarrangement意为“进行安排”，故填arrangement。48.考查名词所有格形式。句意：经过了一上午的努力学习之后，同学们可以好好地休息休息。该空修饰名词hardwork，故应填名词所有格形式。49.考查被动语态。句意：学生们不应该被要求做额外的作业。主语students和ask之间是被动关系，故该句应用被动语态，故填asked。50.考查形容词。该空和energetic并列，做系动词feel的表语，故该空填形容词refreshed，意为“精神抖擞的，恢复精力的”。20.RobertF.Kennedyoncesaidthatacountry’sGDPmeasures"everythingexceptthatwhichmakeslifeworthwhile."WithBritainvotingtoleavetheEuropeanUnion,andGDPalreadypredictedtoslowasaresult,itisnowatimelymomenttoassesswhathewasreferringto.ThequestionofGDPanditsusefulnesshasannoyedpolicymakersforoverhalfacentury.Manyarguethatitisaflawed(有缺陷的)concept.Itmeasuresthingsthatdonotmatterandmissesthingsthatdo.Bymostrecentmeasures,theUK'sGDPhasbeentheenvyoftheWesternworld,withrecordlowunemploymentandhighgrowthfigures.Ifeverythingwasgoingsowell,thenwhydidover17millionpeoplevoteforBrexit,despitethewarningsaboutwhatitcoulddototheircountry’seconomicprospects.Arecentannualstudyofcountriesandtheirabilitytoconvertgrowthintowell-beingshedssomelightonthatquestion.Acrossthe163countriesmeasured,theUKisoneofthepoorestperformersinensuringthateconomicgrowthistranslatedintomeaningfulimprovementsforitscitizens.RatherthanjustfocusingonGDP,over40differentsetsofcriteriafromhealth,educationandcivilsocietyengagementhavebeenmeasuredtogetamoreroundedassessmentofhowcountriesareperforming.Whileallofthesecountriesfacetheirownchallenges,thereareanumberofconsistentthemes.Yes,therehasbeenabuddingeconomicrecoverysincethe2008globalcrash,butinkeyindicatorsinareassuchashealthandeducation,majoreconomieshavecontinuedtodecline.Yetthisisn'tthecasewithallcountries.SomelypoorEuropeancountrieshaveseenhugeimprovementsacrossmeasuresincludingcivilsociety,incomeequalityandtheenvironment.Thisisalessonthatrichcountriescanlearn:WhenGDPisnolongerregardedasthesolemeasureofacountry'ssuccess,theworldlooksverydifferent.So,whatKennedywasreferringtowasthatwhileGDPhasbeenthemostcommonmethodformeasuringtheeconomicactivityofnations,asameasure,itisnolongerenough.Itdoesnotincludeimportantfactorssuchasenvironmentalqualityoreducationoutcomesallthingsthatcontributetoaperson’ssenseofwell-being.ThesharphittogrowthpredictedaroundtheworldandintheUKcouldleadtoadeclineintheeverydayserviceswedependonforourwell-beingandforgrowth.Butpolicymakerswhorefocuseffortsonimprovingwell-beinginsteadofsimplyworryingaboutGDPfigurescouldavoidtheforecasteddoomandmayevenseeprogress.Title:HighGDPBut____71____Well-being,aUKLessonPassageoutlineSupportingdetailsDifferentopinionsofGDP·RobertF.Kennedybelievedthateverythingwasmeasuredbyacountry'sGDPexcept___72___madelifeworthwhile.·ManypeopleholdbeliefthatGDPmeasureswhatisunimportantandmisseswhat____73____GDPasthemeasureof___74___iswidelydefiedintheUK.·DespitethefacttheWestemworldhasenviedtheUK'sforitshighGDPwithhigh___75___andhighgrowthfigures,over17millionpeoplevotedtoleavetheEuropeanUnion.·Arecentannualstudyshowsthatinthe163countriesmeasured,theUKisoneofcountries,whichhavemost____76____transformedeconomicgrowthintomeaningfulimprovementsforitscitizens.Mainassessmentsofacountry’s___77___·Over40____78____ofcriteriafromhealth,educationandcivilsocietyengagement.·Environmentalqualityoreducationoutcomes-allthings____79____inaperson'ssenseofhappiness.FactorsconsideredbeyondGDPPolicymakers,whodon'tsimplyworryaboutGDPfigures,insteadthink______80______ofimprovinghappiness,canavoidforecastingdoomandmayevenseeprogress.

78.varieties/ranges

2.D

3.A试题分析：本文通过四组数字来回顾我国的独生子女政策。【1题详解】B细节理解题。根据第二部分的第二段Inthe1980s,aftertheone-childpolicybecameofficial,therateforbothwas36可知正确答案。故选B。【2题详解】D细节理解题。根据文章的最后一句Thepredicteddeclineinthenumberofpeopleofworkingageisthoughttohavepersuadedthegovernmenttodroptheone-childpolicy.可知让政府废除独生子女政策的原因是Thepredicteddeclineinthenumberofpeopleofworkingage。故选D。【3题详解】A推理判断题。从全文分析尤其是每段的小标题可知。文章的第一段的statisticallyspeaking有暗示。本文是通过数据回看我国的独生子女政策的。故选A。【名师点睛】关于细节理解题用细节定位法：细节理解题属直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的送分题。但由于高考所占的比例很大，应特别引起注意。事实和细节题的命题特点是：把某词语、某个句子或某具体事实用不同于原文的另一方式或句型表达，即同义改写。解答这类题的窍门是：A)注意掌握英语的多种表达法；B)正确分析词语在句中的作用；C)熟练运用英语的句型转换；D)读懂题干所提出的问题，并准确地找到文中涉及该问题的句子。比如文章第2题，就需要快速定位在文章的最后一句Thepredicteddeclineinthenumberofpeopleofworkingageisthoughttohavepersuadedthegovernmenttodroptheone-childpolicy.可知让政府废除独生子女政策的原因是Thepredicteddeclineinthenumberofpeopleofworkingage。这样就可选出正确答案为D。22.
