参考答案第一部分听力1—5CBABA6—10CBABC11—15ACBCC16—20BBACB第二部分阅读第一节A【答案】21.D22.C23.A【解析】【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍的是间隔年帆船项目。【21题详解】细节理解题。根据WheretoGo部分的“Theseuniqueadventurescantakeyouacrossoceansandwholeregionstoexperiencedozensofcountriesinasinglegapyear.SomeprogramscombineseveralregionsincludingtheIndianOcean,theCaribbeanSea,etc.whileotherssticktojustone.(这些独特的冒险可以带你跨越海洋和整个地区，在一个间隔年里体验几十个国家。一些项目结合了几个地区，包括印度洋，加勒比海等，而另一些项目只坚持一个地区。)”可知，GapYearSailingPrograms为参与者提供周游世界的机会。故选D。【22题详解】细节理解题。根据Visa部分的“Makesureyouobtainyourvisaswellinadvance.(Makesureyouobtainyourvisaswellinadvance.)”可知，在参与活动之前，参与者必须要获得相应地区的签证。故选C。【23题详解】推理判断题。根据Housing部分的“Don’texpectanythingfancy.You’lllikelyhavelittlemorethanabedandasmallstoragelockerinatwo-orthree-personcabin.Giventhelimitedsizeofyourlivingspace,expecttostayclosetoyourcrewmatesatalltimeswithlittlerealprivacy.(不要期待任何奢华的东西。你可能只有一张床和一个小储物柜在一个二人或三人的小木屋。考虑到你的生活空间有限，你要时刻与你的船员保持密切的联系，没有真正的隐私。)”可知，项目中的居住条件很艰苦，故选A。【答案】24.D25.B26.D27.B【解析】【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是Drake在一家电气公司工作，勤奋好学的他研发了一种新式灯泡，但是老板对他的灯泡不感兴趣。于是他和妻子创业，虽然经历了多次失败，但是他始终相信自已，从未放弃，最终取得了事业上的成功。【24题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Hisparentshadnomoneytoeducatehim.Theyhadnochoiceotherthantotelltheirchildrentoleaveschoolandstarthelpingthemwiththeirshop’swork.(他的父母没有钱供他上学。他们别无选择，只能让孩子们离开学校，开始帮助他们打理商店的工作。)”可知，Drake的父母在他12岁的时候让他在他们的店里工作是因为他们无力支付他的学费。故选D。【25题详解】词句猜测题。根据画线词后的“startedwakingupbeforesunriseandgoingtotheirshopandcleaningit(开始在日出前起床，然后去他们的店里清洗)”可知，Drake非常勤勉地在父母的店里帮忙，由此可以推测，他一定非常理解父母做决定的处境，想要身体力行地为父母缓解压力，所以画线词的意思是“理解”，和understood意思相近。故选B。【26题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中的“butwhenthebosssawit,hewasn’tinterestedinitandsaiditwasoflittleuse(但是当老板看到它时，他不感兴趣，说它没什么用)”可以推知，老板觉得他改进过的新式灯泡没有价值。故选D。【27题详解】推理判断题。结合全文，尤其是倒数第三段的“Butstill,hebelievedinhimselfanddidn’tgiveup.(但他仍然相信自己，没有放弃。)”和倒数第二段的“butstill,hekeptbelievinginhimself(但他仍然相信自己)”可知，从家贫上不起学，到想法不被接受，再到创业经历失败，Drake经历过许许多多的挫折，但他始终相信自己、从未放弃，最终他取得了事业上的成功，这说明了自信是成功的第一秘诀，即Confidenceisthefirstsecretofsuccess。故选B。C篇本文是一篇说明文。PieterBruegel的《收割者》描绘了农民在收割几乎和他们一样高的小麦的情景。FransSnyders画的西瓜瓤是白色的。这些作品看似奇怪，却提供了一定的农业信息。28.C细节理解题。根据第一段的“Theworkdescribesfarmerscuttingwheatnearlyastallastheyare”和“Nowadays,ifyouwalkthroughawheatfield,youbasicallyseewheatisaboutknee-high”可知，1565年PieterBruegel画的《收割者》中的小麦几乎与人同高，但如今，田地里的小麦才大约及膝高，由此可知，小麦的高度发生了很大的变化。故选C。29.D观点态度题。根据第三段的“ButVergauwen...ifhepaintsitlikethat,that’sthewayitmusthavebeen”可知，Vergauwen认为FransSnyders是那个时代最好的画家之一。所以，如果他把西瓜画成那样的话，那么西瓜（当时）就一定是那个样子的。由此可推知，Vergauwen对FransSnyders的画是肯定的。故选D。30.A推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Theteamhopes...Theycreateasocialmediahashtag(主题标签)forit...visitamuseumorexhibitthroughthehashtag”可知，他们希望建立一个历史植物艺术品在线研究数据库，并为此在社交媒体上创建了一个主题标签。人们在参观博物馆或展览时，可以通过主题标签发送相关艺术品和植物细节的照片。故他们创建主题标签的目的是为数据库收集更多画作。故选A。31.B主旨大意题。根据全文尤其是第一段的尾句“Wheatisjustoneexampleofhowhistoricalartworkcanhelptrackthetransformationoffoodcropsovertime.”可知，本文通过画家PieterBruegel和FransSnyders的两幅画作来说明古艺术品能揭示农作物发生的变化，B选项更能概括主旨。故选B。D篇本文是一篇说明文。行为生态学家ConnieAllen认为大象凭借惊人的记忆力进行远距离导航，但也有人提出，大象在进行远距离活动时嗅觉尤为重要。为了验证这一观点，ConnieAllen和她的同事们开展了研究，证明确实如此。32.B词义猜测题。根据下文可知，ConnieAllen和同事们通过测试大象对路边大象尿液的感知能力来进行研究，最终发现，大象可以利用尿液的气味进行远距离活动，由此可知，嗅觉对大象的远距离活动尤为重要。画线词olfaction的含义应为“嗅觉”。故选B。33.A推理判断题。根据第三、四段可知，研究人员在野外收集大象尿液样本，在七条大象常走的道路上安装摄像机来观察大象的行为，并把尿液样本放在路边来了解嗅觉对大象的影响。由此可推知，研究人员是通过野外研究的方式得出结论的。故选A。34.D推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“useelephantpee...comingintoconflictwithhumansatthemoment”可知，如果人类可以利用大象的尿液作为诱饵骗过大象，让它们以为其他大象正往这个方向走，或许人们就能引导大象改变行进方向，避免与人类发生冲突。由此可知，研究结果的潜在益处是使人类和大象能够和平共处。故选D。35.C标题判断题。综观全文，尤其是第三段中的“anindication,theresearcherssaid,thatsmellsmayserveassignpostsalongthepaths”及第四段中的“anotherindicationthatsmellsmightbeaneffectivenavigationalsignal”可知，本文主要讲述的是行为生态学家ConnieAllen和同事们通过研究发现非洲象根据尿液的气味进行远距离活动。故选C。第二节本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了三种消除戒备心理的自我保护方法。36.G考查逻辑关系。上文提到了几种容易产生心理戒备的情况，如“justifyingyourself,blamingothers,ortryingtodistractfromtheproblemathand”。G项“幸运的是，有一些方37.E考查主旨句。本段的小标题是“在此刻保持冷静”；下文讲如果你感到生气，深呼吸，在你有机会把它想通之前控制住（自己）要说话的冲动。E项“一生气或沮丧就会（让你）看起来是戒备的”与下文衔接紧密，符合语境。故选E。38.C考查逻辑关系。本段的小标题是“回应批评时等待一会儿”；根据上文中的“don’tinterruptorcuttheotherpersonoff”可知，不要打断或中止他人说话。C项“让这个人说完，即使他/她是错误的”承接上文，符合语境。故选C。39.A考查小标题。空格处是本段的小标题。本段介绍了解释的重要性，一个解释可以让你40.F考查逻辑关系。上文讲解释可以让你更清楚问题所在；下文讲例如，用“你为什么说这个设计丑陋？”来代替“不要说我的设计丑陋。那是我辛苦制作的。”F项“这也给了你一些喘息的时间，这样你就不太可能怀着戒备的心理进行回应”承上启下，符合语境。故选F。第三部分语言运用第一节本文是一篇议论文。我们都知道熬夜的坏处，但童年的夜晚总是那么神秘，青少年时的夜晚更加充满魅力，这一切都在吸引着我们熬夜。41.C根据上文的“it’slate,butinsteadofgoingtobed,westayup.Thenextdaywe’retired”可知，我们总是熬夜到很晚，第二天很疲惫。推断此处表示我们承诺自己要早睡。选项：refuse“拒绝”；prepare“准备”；promise“许诺，承诺，答应，保证”；spare“省得，免去”。故选C。42.D根据下文提到“Whydoweinsiston...messingupourlife”推断出：然后我们又熬夜了。选项：work“起作用，奏效”；help“帮助”；respond“回应”；happen“发生，出现”。故选D。43.A结合语境可知，“anaction”指上文的“stayup”，即熬夜行为。此处表示我们为什么要坚持这样一种明显扰乱了我们的生活的行为呢。选项：clearly“明显地，显然地”；surprisingly“令人惊讶地”；naturally“自然地”；deliberately“故意地，蓄意地”。故选A。44.B根据下文提到“Fromourdarkroom,wesawgrown-ups...thingsweweren’tsupposedtoknow”推断：此处表示童年时的夜晚是神秘的。选项：dangerous“危险的”；secret“神秘的，秘密的”；free“自由的”；harmonious“和谐的”。故选B。45.A根据上文提到“wesawgrown-upschattingaroundthetable”推断：我们会听到一些不应该知道的事。选项：catch“看见，听到”；discuss“讨论”；believe“相信”；record“记录”。故选A。46.D根据下文提到“Itwaswhenpoetsdrewinspiration,partiesgotwild...planstoreformtheworld”推断：夜晚充满了令人激动的事。选项：uncertainty“令人无把握的局面”；impossibility“不可能的事，办不到的事”；fantasy“幻想，想象”；excitement“令人激动（或兴奋）的事”。故选D。47.D根据下文提到“describingtheirplanstoreformtheworld”推断：在夜晚，我们的朋友变得非常健谈，他们会描述自己改变世界的计划。选项：curious“求知欲强的，好奇的”；anxious“焦虑，忧虑，担心”；sensitive“体恤的，善解人意的，敏感的”；talkative“爱说话的，健谈的”。故选D。48.A根据上文描述了不同时期夜晚带给我们的感受推断：此处表示我们感觉早睡会错过乐趣。选项：missouton“错失获利（或取乐等）的机会”；comeupwith“找到（答案），拿出（一笔钱等）”；goinfor“对……有兴趣，爱好……”；breakawayfrom“突然挣脱，逃脱”。故选A。49.C根据上文提到夜间活动带给我们乐趣推断：此处指这些（夜间活动和快乐之间的）联系纯属偶然。选项：limitation“局限，限度”；devotion“奉献，忠诚，热爱”；association“联想，联系”；decision“决定”。故选C。50.A根据上文提到夜晚的神秘和快乐以及下文提到“tasksofourdaytimeselves”和“inthebrightandenergetichoursofthenewday”推断：此处表示这些不仅限于黑暗的时候，即夜晚。选项：darkness“黑暗，阴暗，漆黑”；memory“记忆”；youth“青少年时期”；reality“现实”。故选A。51.C根据上文的“thedetermination”和下文的“theworkthatworeyouout”可知，此处表示辞掉使你筋疲力尽的工作。undertake“承担，从事”；land“成功得到，赢得”；quit“离开（工作职位、学校等），离任，离校”；continue“继续”。故选C。52.D根据第二段内容以及上文的“Thedeepcommunicationwithfriends,thedetermination”可知，此处表示这些不是深夜的额外好处。feature“特点，特色”；demand“要求”；challenge“挑战”；bonus“额外的好处，意外收获”。故选D。53.B根据上文提到“Thedeepcommunicationwithfriends,thedetermination...out”和“buttasksofourdaytimeselves”推断：此处表示这些事应该在白天做，需要好好休息过的大脑来处理。选项：train“训练，培训”；require“需要，依靠，依赖”；affect“影响”；disturb“打扰，干扰，妨碍”。故选B。54.A根据语境可推测：此处表示我们应该让自己早睡，而非直到认为寻找快乐无望时才睡觉。选项：hopeless“没有好转（或成功）希望的，无望的”；primary“主要的，最重要的，基本的”；complex“复杂的，难懂的，费解的”；urgent“紧急的，紧迫的，迫切的”。故选A。55.B根据语境可推测：此处表示我们应更现实地寻找快乐——在明亮且精力充沛的崭新的一天。选项：fortune“财富；好运”；pleasure“高兴，快乐”；company“陪伴”；support“支持”。故选B。第二节本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了过去十年基因学家Arney博士探索人类对物种进化过程的影响的研究。56.it考查代词。分析句子结构可知，此处应用it作形式宾语，指代“toignoretheinfluenceofhumansontheplanet”。故填it。57.themes考查名词的单复数。根据下文中的“LifeChanging:Howhumansarechanginglifeonearth?Howanimalspecies_____(shape)throughgeneticengineeringsofar?”可知，书中有两个主题，因此应用名词的复数形式。故填themes。58.havebeenshaped考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。根据“sofar”可知，此处应用现在完成时；且主语“animalspecies”与动词shape之间是被动关系，应用被动语态；又因主语是复数，谓语动词也应用复数形式。故填havebeenshaped。59.tra
