分别是：[A]worried“担心的”；[B]excited“激动的”；[C]tired“疲惫的”；[D]sober“冷静的”。彻夜难眠之后，白天自然是tired“疲惫的”，即本题答案为[C]。15．【C15】A．insteadofB．inregardofC．inspiteofD．regardlessof正确答案：D解析：本题考查短语理解。四个选项的意思分别为：[A]insteadof“代替”；[B]inregardof“关于”；[C]inspiteof“尽管”:[D]regardlessof“不管，无论”。由于逗号不仅提示停顿，很多时候也提示并列，从上下文我们知道该句逻辑为并列，即填入的词和whether…or…相等，whether…or．．．的意思为“不管”，故[D]为本题答案。16．【C16】A．compensatoryB．comprehensiveC．complicatedD．compassionate正确答案：C解析：从or一词可以判断该题。由于or有时候提示并列，有时候则类似转折，所以要通过上下文背景分析。由上文的richorpoor的提示，我们知道此处的or暗示前后相对立。与straightforward“直接的，简单的”相对立的是[C]complicated“复杂的”。其余三项的意思分别为：[A]compensatory“补偿的”；[B]comprehensive“综合的”；[D]compassionate“同情的”。故本题答案为[C]。17．【C17】A．ruleoutB．keepwithC．bringinD．setout正确答案：A解析：本题考查短语理解。四个选项的意思分别为：[A]ruleout“排除，消除，划掉”；[B]keepwith“跟上”；[C]bringin“引进”；[D]setout“出发”。文章大意为“为了17可能性，”能与其搭配的只有“排除”，排除某事的可能性，故本题答案为[A]。18．【C18】A．opportunityB．tendencyC．capabilityD．inability正确答案：B解析：句子大意为“为了排除这样一种可能性：孕妇本来就更18去医院。”四个选项的意思分别为：[A]opportunity“机会”；[B]tendency“倾向性，可能性”；[C]capability“能力”；[D]inability“无能”。显然，孕妇去医院与能力无关，可以先排除[C][D]。而更有机会／更有可能去医院，tendency搭配合理，即[B]正确。19．【C19】A．onB．withC．inD．for正确答案：C解析：本题考查固定搭配。“在……看来”，应该是inone’sterms，而inlayman’sterms可以理解为“在门外汉看来”或者”按门外汉的说法”。故该题答案明了，选择[C]。20．【C20】A．althoughB．whereasC．nonethelessD．because正确答案：D解析：该空上下文没有出现相反信息或者矛盾观点，而只是简单解释，故该空的逻辑词不能填表转折或让步的词，而[A]although，[B]whereas和[C]nonetheless三个词全部是表转折或让步，故本题选择[D]because。SectionIIReadingComprehensionPartADirections:Readthefollowingfourtexts.AnswerthequestionsbeloweachtextbychoosingA,B,CorD.(40points)Ifcomfortablyoutpacingyourrivalsisthemainmeasureofautomotiveachievement,Tesla’selectriccarisaresoundingsuccess.TheModelSlastyearoutsolditsnearestluxuryrival,Mercedes’spetrol-enginedS-class,by30%inAmerica.AndinitstopspecificationtheTeslawillalsobeattheGermancarintheracefrom0-60mph.Asabattery-makerTeslaisalsomovingfast.Thisweekitannouncedplanstobuilda“gigafactory”inAmericatomakelithium-ionpower-packs,thatithopeswillpropelitsvehiclestothemainstream.Tesla’saccelerationhasbeenrapid.LaunchedadecadeagobyElonMusk,afounderofPayPalandserialtechentrepreneur,lastyearitsoldaround22,000carsandbytheendof2014hopestobemaking1,000aweek.Inearly2015TeslawilladdtheModelX,amedium-sizedSUV,toitsrange.However,Tesla’simpressivegrowthhasnotyettranslatedintosignificantprofits.Aseriesofbatteryfiresalsobrieflydentedsalesgrowthlastyear.Nevertheless,Tesla’ssharessurgedonFebruary25th,tovaluethecompanyatover$30billionafterMorganStanley,abank,joineditsadoringfans.Itreckonsthatthebatteryfactorywillnotonlypropelitalongtheroadtomassmanufacturingbutalsomakeitaleadingcompetitorinlow-costenergystorage,thekeytomakingrenewableenergymorepractical.ThebankisalsoconfidentthatTesla’sSiliconValleylocationwillputitinthedriverlessfrontseatofautonomousmotoring.ArecentmeetingwithApple,andtheiPad-likecontrolpaneloftheModelS,haveconvincedsomeobserversthatatakeoverandaniCararearoundthecorner,althoughMr.Muskinsiststhathisfirmisnotforsale.TeslahasdefieditsdoubterswiththesuccessoftheModelS,asmartlystyledluxurycar.ItmaynotsharetheoutrageouslooksofasupercarliketheLamborghiniAventador,butithastheperformancewithoutthe$400,000-pluspricetag.ThemostbasicModelScosts$64,000inAmerica.Thishaswonitravereviewsinthemotoringpress,oftensniffyaboutotherelectriccarswithlimitedrangesanddufflooks.Bydesigningalargecarwithabigbatterypack,Teslahasdiminished“rangeanxiety”—oneversioncando310miles(500km)betweencharges.21．Accordingtothefirstparagraph,Teslais______.A．aluxurycarbrandthatbeatsallitsrivalsB．acar-makerthataimsathigh-endcustomersC．abattery-makerthathasbecomemainstreamD．anelectriccarbrandthatalsoproducesbattery正确答案：D解析：根据题干定位到第一段。该段第二行提到luxury一词，但是指的是Mercedes“梅赛德斯”，并不是Tesla“特斯拉”，故选项[A]的luxurycarbrand表述不当，而beatsallitsrivals更是过度夸大，故判断选项[A]是错误的。而选项[B]的high—endcustomers“高端客户”更是无中生有。选项[C]的battery—maker只是Tesla的部分业务，而且hasbecomemainstream“已经成为主流”也与原文不符，故该项错误。只有[D]项的anelectriccarbrandthatalsoproducesbattery“同时生产电池的电动跑车品牌”能够概括Tesla，分别对应该段第一、二行的Tesla’selectriccar和第四行的Asabattery-makerTeslaisalsomovingfast.故答案为[D]。22．ItcanbeinferredfromParagraph2that______.A．Tesla’selectriccarwillbecomemainstreaminthemarketB．Teslawillmakeagreatfortunein2015thankstoitsnewmodelC．itmaytakeawhileforTeslatorecoverfromthebatteryaccidentsD．Teslapursuesenvironmentally-friendlycarsratherthanhugeprofits正确答案：C解析：根据题干定位到第二段。首先，选项[A]在该段没有对应内容，该段未提到main-stream一词，该项属于无中生有。选项[B]的2015和newmodel对应该段的Inearly2015TeslawilladdtheModelX，amedium-sizedSUV，toitsrange一句，但是该项的makeagreatfortune“大赚一笔”文中并无体现，故该项错误。选项[C]对应该段最后一句：Aseriesofbatteryfiresalsobrieflydentedsalesgrowthlastyear．“去年，一系列电池起火事件削弱了其销售增长势头。”由此可见该项的itmaytakeawhileforTeslatorecoverfromthebatteryaccidents“特斯拉可能需要一段时间才能从电池事故中恢复过来”推理正确。选项[D]的environmentally—friendly原文并未提到，该项也是错误的。综上，答案为[C]。23．AccordingtoParagraph3,someobserversbelievethat______.A．Tesla’sfounderwillnotsellhiscompanyB．ApplemaytakeTeslaoverinthenearfutureC．TeslaandApplemaycooperateanddevelopiCarD．Teslawillbetheleadingcorporationofdriverlesscars正确答案：B解析：根据someobservers定位到第三段最后一句：ArecentmeetingwithApple，andtheiPad—likecontrolpaneloftheModelS，haveconvincedsomeobserversthatatakeoverandaniCararearoundthecorner，althoughMr．Muskinsiststhathisfirmisnotforsale．其中答案的来源句为atakeoverandaniCararearoundthecorner“特斯拉很快会被接手，iCar很快会出现”。其中，aroundthecorner的意思是“即将到来”，四项中与该句表述一致的是选项[B]ApplemaytakeTeslaoverinthenearfuture“苹果可能在近期接手特斯拉”，其中takeTeslaover=takeover；inthenearfuture=aroundthecorner，故该题答案为[B]。24．WhichoneofthefollowingistrueaboutTesla’sModelS?A．Ithasdufflooksandlimitedrange.B．Itlooksasimpressiveasothersupercars.C．Itisnotworthspendingsomuchmoneyonit.D．Ithaschangedpeople’sviewtowardselectriccars.正确答案：D解析：根据题干的Tesla’sModelS以及出题顺序定位到最后一段。选项[A]对应该段第四、五行：Thishaswonitravereviewsinthemotoringpress，oftensniffyaboutotherelectriccarswithlimitedrangesanddufflooks．其中的limitedrangesanddufflooks指的是otherelectriccars，而不是Tesla，故该项错误。选项[B]对应本段第二句：ItmaynotsharetheoutrageouslooksofasupercarliketheLamborghiniAventador…其中的outrageous“令人震惊的”与该项的impressive“令人印象深刻的”意思接近，但是原文说的是notsharetheoutrageouslooksofasupercar，故该项错误。选项[C]对应该段第二、三两句：butithastheperformancewithoutthe$400，000一pluspricetag．ThemostbasicModelScosts$64，000inAmerica．由此可见ModelS不仅拥有40多万美元车盼陛能，而且售价仅为6．4万美元，性价比很高，该项说的“不值得购买”显然是错误的。选项[D]对应该段第四行：Thishaswonitravereviewsinthemotoringpress，oftensniffyaboutotherelectriccars…“这使其在汽车报刊上引起轩然大波，该报刊往往对其他电动跑车的有限行程和笨拙外观嗤之以鼻。”由此可见该项Ithaschangedpeople’sviewtowardselectriccars．“它改变了人们对于电动跑车的看法”表述正确，即[D]为答案。25．Themostappropriatetitleforthistextis______.A．Tesla:ElectricCarThatMakesAHitB．ElectricCar:WhereIstheFuture?C．Tesla:WilltheTakeoverComeSoon?D．Tesla:RapidGrowthButNoProfits正确答案：A解析：本文讨论的是电动跑车品牌Tesla“特斯拉”，几个选项基本都吻合。四个选项的意思分别为：选项[A]“特斯拉：大获成功的电动跑车”；选项[B]“电动跑车：何去何从?”；选项[C]“特斯拉：距离被接手还远吗?”；选项[D]“特斯拉：猛增长，零利润”。一般文章各段首句可以表达各段大意，而把各段首句加起来，可以看出整篇文章大意。第一段提到：Tesla’selectriccarisaresoundingsuccess．第二段首句指出：Tesla’saccelerationhasbeenrapid．第三段首句重点为：Nevertheless，Tesla’ssharessurged．最后一段首句又指出：TeslahasdefieditsdoubterswiththesuccessoftheModelS．这几句话不断提到success，acceleration，surge等词，都是积极向上的词，由此可以判断，文章重点讨论特斯拉的成功和发展，故[A]项为本题答案。Onacold,blusterymorningatCanaryWharf,London’ssecondfinancialdistrict,eatingoutsidedoesnotseemappealing.Yetonasolitaryconcretequay,suitedworkershuddlearoundpicnicbenches.Halfadozenfoodstallslinethewater’sedge.OnesellsThaifoodoutofarickshaw,anothersaltedporkbunsfromaconvertedhorsebox.Everythingonofferisabout￡6($10).SuchisthelatestinBritain’sculinaryevolution.Streetdiningishardlynew.Kebabvansinuniversitytownsserveoilygunktosozzledstudents:onweekendsinLondon,grizzledmenhawkfrankfurtersoutsideTubestations.Butuntilrecentlysmarternoshwasmostiyavailableonlyinrestaurants.Nowmostbigcitieshaveatleastoneregularstreetfoodevent,asaLondonfashionhasspreadout.Britain’sfalteringeconomyispartoftheexplanation.“Inarecession,peoplegointofoodbusinesses”,saysMarkLaurieofNCASS,atradeassociationforcaterers.Settingupastreetfoodstalltakeslittlecapitalorspecialistknowledge.AtCanaryWharf,thetradersincludeaformerarchitectandabankworker,aswellasrestaurateurs.Demandisincreasing,too,aspinchedcustomerstradedownfromrestaurants.Yetthebiggestdriverofoutdooreatingisofficialdom.Localauthoritiesandcommercialpropertydevelopersseestreetstallsasameansofquicklygingeringupstrugglinghighstreetsandsterileplazas.TheCanaryWharfGroupdoesnotchargefortheuseofitslandbytheclusterofstreetvendors.AlistairTurnham,whorunsStockMkt,asimilaroutfit,sayssomecouncilswillevenpayhisfirmtorunevents.Streetfoodvendorsthusavoidpayingheavyrentsorbusinessrates—whichhelpsthemtoundercutrestaurants.Still,thedistinctionbetweenindoorandoutdoorfoodisblurring.TheMarriot,anupmarkethotelinMayfair,recentlyputonastreetfood-inspiredmenu.TrinityLeeds,anewshoppingcentreinYorkshire,hostsrollingstreetfoodtradersaspartofitsfoodhall.Somesuccessfulstreetfoodvendorsaresettinguprestaurants—fewwanttoworkoutofvansforever.Othersaremovingintocateringforprivateevents.Themarketeconomyistriumphing.26．Thedescriptionofthefirstparagraphisto______.A．provetheimportanceoffoodB．introducethediscussionoffoodC．introducethetopicofstreetdiningD．showthebusysceneofLondonlife正确答案：C解析：本题考查第一段在文章中的作用，属于篇章结构题。一般文章首段是描写性的段落，作用是用来引出下文讨论的话题。故[A][D]两项可以排除。而第二段首句就指出文章讨论的话题：Streetdiningishardlynew．接下来几个段落也都在讨论有关streetdining的话题，故[C]是该题答案。27．Itcanbelearnedthatstreetdining______.A．isstrangetomostLondonersB．hasbecomecommoninLondonC．firstappearedinuniversitytownsD．hasbecomeatrendinmostcities正确答案：B解析：根据出题顺序和streetdining定位到第二段。选项[A]对应首句：Streetdiningishardlynew．“街头用餐一点也不新奇。”这与该项的streetdiningisstrangetomostLondoners“街头用餐对于大多数伦敦人来说很陌生”表述不符，故该项错误。[B]项对应该段描写，通过本段描写可以得知streetdininghasbecomecommoninLondon是正确的。选项[C]的firstappearedinuniversitytowns中first一词在原文无所体现，故错误。选项[D]对应最后一句：Nowmostbigcitieshaveatleastoneregularstreetfoodevent，asaLondonfashionhasspreadout．原文说的是mostbigcities，而不是mostcities，故该项属于偷换概念，也是错误的。综上，本题答案为[B]。28．Duringeconomicdepression,peopleenterthestreetfoodbusinessbecauseA．theyhavenothingelsetodoB．itneedsnocapitalandothercostsC．theyknownothingaboutotherfieldsD．itrequireslittlefundandexpertknowledge正确答案：D解析：根据题干的economicdepression“经济萧条”定位到第三段第二句：Inarecession，peoplegointofoodbusinesses．“在萧条期，人们转入食品行业。”其中depression=recession。而该题答案，即“人们转入食品行业的原因”在第三句：Settingupastreetfoodstalltakeslittlecapitalorspecialistknowledge．其中takeslittlecapitalorspecialistknowledge“需要少量资金和专业知识”=[D]项itrequireslittlefundandexpertknowledge；capital=fund；specialistknowledge=expertknowledge。故[D]为本题答案。29．Streetvendorshaveearnedsupportfromallofthefollowingexcept______.A．hotelsandrestaurantsB．largeenterprisegroupsC．localcouncilsandofficialsD．commercialpropertydevelopers正确答案：A解析：根据出题顺序和题干的streetvendors定位到第四段第三、四行。该题问：街头小贩赢得了以下所有人的支持，除了______。根据该段首句Yetthebiggestdriverofoutdooreatingisofficialdom．“然而户外餐饮的最大驱动力却是来自政府官员。”以及下一句紧接着提到Localauthoritiesandcommercialpropertydevelopers“当地政府和商业地产开发商”，可以判断[C]项localcouncilsandofficials“地方政府和官员”和[D]项commercialpropertydevelopers“商业地产开发商”都属于支持者。第三句又指出：TheCanaryWharfGroupdoesnotchargefortheuseofitslandbytheclusterofstreetvendors．“金丝雀码头集团没有对聚集在其土地上的街头商贩征收费用。”其中doesnotcharge“不收费”就表明了支持，而CanaryWharfGroup就等同于选项[B]的largeenterprisegroups“大型企业集团”。综上，[A]为答案，全段没有提到得到[A]“旅馆和饭店”的支持。30．Theauthor’sattitudetowardsstreetfoodseemstobe______.A．indifferentB．prejudicedC．objectiveD．supportive正确答案：C解析：题干的streetfood是贯穿首尾的话题。作者对其描述中并未体现富含感情色彩的词，故作者仅仅是客观陈述。四个选项中，[A]indifferent“冷漠的”，[B]prejudiced“偏见的”和[D]supportive“支持的”都过于褒义或贬义，答案为[C]objective“客观的”。Between1998and2013,theEarth’ssurfacetemperatureroseatarateof0.04°Cadecade,farslowerthanthe0.18°Cincreaseinthe1990s.Meanwhile,emissionsofcarbondioxiderosecontinuously.Thispauseinwarminghasraiseddoubtsinthepublicmindaboutclimatechange.Afewscepticssayflatlythatglobalwarminghasstopped.Othersarguethatscientists’understandingoftheclimateissoflawedthattheirjudgmentsaboutitcannotbeacceptedwithanyconfidence.Aconvincingexplanationofthepausethereforemattersbothtoaproperunderstandingoftheclimateandtothecredibilityofclimatescience—andpaperspublishedoverthepastfewweeksdotheirbesttoprovideone.Asevidencepiledupthattemperatureswerenotrisingmuch,somescientistsdismisseditasatemporaryphenomenon.Thetemperature,theypointedout,hadfallenformuchlongerperiodstwiceinthepastcenturyorso,in1880-1910andagainin1945-75,eventhoughthegeneraltrendwasup.Variabilityispartoftheclimatesystemanda15-yearpause,theysuggested,wasnotworthgettingexcitedabout.Analternativewayoflookingatthepause’ssignificancewastosaythattherehadbeenaslowdownbutnotabigone.Mostrecords,includingoneofthebestknown,donotincludemeasurementsfromtheArctic,whichhasbeenwarmingfasterthananywhereelseintheworld.UsingsatellitedatatofillinthemissingArcticnumbers,KevinCowtanoftheUniversityofYork,inBritain,andRobertWayoftheUniversityofOttawa,inCanada,puttheoverallrateofglobalwarmingat0.12°Cadecadebetween1998and2012.AstudybyNASAputsthe“Arcticeffect”overthesameperiodsomewhatlower,at0.07°Cadecade,butthatisstillnotnegligible.Itisalsoworthrememberingthataveragewarmingisnottheonlymeasureofclimatechange.AccordingtoastudyjustpublishedbySoniaSeneviratneoftheInstituteforAtmosphericandClimateScience,inZurich,thenumberofhotdays,thenumberofextremelyhotdaysandthelengthofwarmperiodsallincreasedduringthepause.Amorestableaveragetemperaturehideswiderextremes.Still,attemptstoexplainawaythatstableaveragehavenotbeenconvincing,partlybecauseoftheconflictbetweenflattemperaturesandrisingCO2emissions,andpartlybecauseobservedtemperaturesarenowfallingoutsidetherangeclimatemodelspredict.Themodelsembodythestateofclimateknowledge.Iftheyarewrong,theknowledgeisprobablyfaulty,too.Henceattemptstoexplainthepause.31．Accordingtothefirstparagraph,thepauseofglobalwarminghas______.A．causedpanicinthepublicB．beenignoredbythepublicC．beenexplainedbysomescientistsD．arousedsuspicionandcontroversy正确答案：D解析：根据题干定位到第一段，再根据thepauseofglobalwarming定位到第三句：Thispauseinwarminghasraiseddoubtsinthepublicmindaboutclimatechange．该句明确指出thepauseinwanninghasraiseddoubts，相当于选项[D]的arousedsuspicion。后两句提到：Afewscepticssayflatlythatglobalwarminghasstopped．Othersarguethat…通过afewsay，othersarguethat这些信息，我们知道这也引起了人们争议，故[D]项arousedsuspicionandcontroversy“引起怀疑和争议”是正确答案。而[A]项的panic一词文章未体现；[B]项的ignored也不符合原文；[C]项的beenexplained在该段也未体现。32．Inthesecondparagraph,somescientistssuggestthat______.A．climateischangeableandthepauseiscommonB．climatechangeisnotworthreceivingourconcernC．climatescienceismorecomplicatedthanyouthinkD．thetemperaturesinthepast15yearshaven’trisenmuch正确答案：A解析：第二段都在讨论somescientists的观点，其中suggest一词出现在最后一句：Variabilityispartoftheclimatesystemanda15一yearpause，theysuggested，wasnotworthgettingexcitedabout．“复杂多变也是气候系统的一个特征。他们认为，15年的停滞期并不值得大惊小怪。”根据该句可以判断[A]项是正确答案。其中[A]项的climateischangeable=variabilityispartoftheclimatesystem：thepauseiscommon=a15一yearpausewasnotworthgettingexcitedabout。而[B]项的notworthreceivingourconcern“不值得我们关注”是偷换概念，原文说的是“不值得大惊小怪”。[C]项的morecomplicatedthanyouthink原文并未提到。[D]项的内容对应该段第一句：Asevidencepiledupthattemperatureswerenotrisingmuch…由此可见“温度没有上升太多”不是这些科学家提出的，故错误。33．ThedataofglobalwarmingfromKevinCowtanandRobertWayishigherbecause______.A．theirtheoryisunconventionalB．theytaketheArcticintoaccountC．theirmeasuringmethodisdifferentD．theyneglectsomeimportantstatistics正确答案：B解析：根据题干的KevinCowtan和RobertWay定位到第三段第三句：UsingsatellitedatatofillinthemissingArcticnumbers，KevinCowtanoftheUniversityofYork，inBritain，andRobertWay…文章前面就提到许多记录数据都没有包括北极，该句又明确指出fillinthemissingArcticnumbers“填入了缺失的北极数据”，从而KevinCowtan和RobertWay得出一个更高的数据，由此可见该题的正确答案是[B]项theytaketheArcticintoaccount“他们把北极考虑在内”。而[C]项theirmeasuringmethodisdifferent“他们的测量方法不同”则显得过于笼统，[A][D]则是无中生有。34．SoniaSeneviratne’sstudysuggeststhat______.A．ZurichistoowarmtoliveB．thepausemaybeadelusionC．extremeclimatewillcomesoonD．therewillbemoreextremelyhotdays正确答案：B解析：根据SoniaSeneviratne定位到第四段第二行。选项[A]的Zurichistoowarmtolive显然不是Sonia研究的目的；而[C][D]两项的“极端气候很快会到来”和“将来会出现更多的极热天气”两项不仅意思过于接近，而且语气过于肯定，可以同时排除。而[B]项thepausemaybeadelusion“全球变暖暂停可能是错觉”与该段最后一句Amorestableaveragetemperaturehideswiderextremes“更稳定的平均温度隐藏着更多极端天气”本质意思是一样的，故[B]项为答案。35．Towardstheexplanationofthepauseofglobalwarming,theauthorseemstobe______.A．optimisticB．pessimisticC．skepticalD．favourable正确答案：C解析：根据出题顺序定位到最后一段，该段首句就很关键：Still，attemptstoexplainawaythatstableaveragehavenotbeenconvincing…其中explainawaythatstableaverage指的就是题干的theexplanationofthepauseofglobalwanning，而notconvincing“不具备说服力”就表明作者态度，是“怀疑的”，即[C]skeptical“怀疑的”为正确答案。Inhisblog,whichislargelydedicatedtothekeepingofbees,JohnCarey,for30yearsaprofessorofEnglishliteratureatOxford,statesthathewritesto“stimulateandinvolvethegeneralreader”.Thisautobiography,writtenwithsympathy,alighttouchandasenseofhumour,amplyfulfilsthataim.Itsuggeststhatthiswell-knownbookreviewerandauthorretainsstrongopinionsandaloveofcontroversy,butalsoportraysasensitivemandedicatedtoacademicstudyandtoreading.Headmitsthat“couragemattersmorethanunderstandingpoetry”but,havingreadalmosteverythingthereistoread,heisunapologeticabouttryingtoconveyjustwhatanenjoyableactivityreadingis.BornandbroughtupinLondon,Mr.Careydevouredbooksfromanearlyage.AftertheBeano,theBiggiesbooksandChumsmagazine,thesingingofhymnsandtheKingJamesBible,camethediscoveryofpoetry—Keats,Arnold,TennysonandWordsworth.GrammarschoolandnationalserviceledtoOxford,auniversitythatwasverydifferentfromtheonethatstudentsexperiencetoday.Whereasnowtheyarewelcomedwithplacardsandballoons,hewasmetbyagruffporterwhotoldhimthenumberofhisroomandbadehimgoodnight.Therewereold-styledonsandmuchthathedisapprovedof,butheworkedhardandthrived.Hisaimwastolearn,nottohavefun...thosetwoaimsseldomcoincide.Movingfromcollegetocollegeasheclimbedtheacademicladder,alwayswithinOxford,Mr.Carey,aspecialistinDonneandMilton,helpedtodraghisdepartmentintotheVictorianageandthenintothe20thcentury.HewrotebooksonDickensandThackeray,thoughtGeorgeEliot“byalongstretchthemostintelligentofallEnglishnovelists”,andconsideredLawrence,OrwellandConradthebestofmoremodernwriters.Havingchairedanumberofliteraryprizes,includingtheBookertwice,Mr.CareyfoundhimselfontheothersideofthefencewhenhisbiographyofWilliamGoldingwasnominatedforaJamesTaitBlackaward.Hiselationonlearningthathehadwonisdescribedwithendearingcandour:“Iwasfarmoremovedthanwasappropriateforsomeonewhoknewliteraryprizestobemeaningless.“Theshortfinalchapterprovidesrefreshinganswerstothequestion,“WhyRead?”Itconcludes,“Readingisfreedom.Nowreadon.“36．WecanlearnfromthefirstparagraphthatJohnCareyis______.A．aprofessorandbeekeeperB．ateacher,aswellasapoetC．anauthorandbookreviewerD．awriter,bookreviewerandprofessor正确答案：D解析：根据题干定位到第一段第一行：JohnCarey，for30yearsaprofessorofEnglishliteratureatOxford；thiswell—knownbookreviewerandauthor．根据这两个句子可以概括JohnCarey的身份，是professor，bookreviewerandauthor，即“教授”“书评家”和“作家”，即[D]为正确答案。37．Theword“devoured”(Line1,Para.2)mostprobablymeans______.A．ategreedilyB．readeagerlyC．wrotewidelyD．watchedhappily正确答案：B解析：该题中devoured的原意是“狼吞虎咽地吃”，即ategreedily，但是在文章背景中，指代readeagerly。上文的句子给出明确提示：havingreadalmosteverythingthereistoread…下文进一步说明他读过哪些作品，故可以确定此处devoured的意思是“readeagedy”，与其余各项无关，即该题答案为[B]。38．WecanlearnfromthesecondparagraphthatMr.Carey______.A．readextensivelyandlearneddiligentlyB．aimedatlearnin
