答案解析

I.

语篇解读本文作者向人们介绍了一位慷慨、体贴的老板一一薪厂

1.C［细节理解题。根据第一段可知，察坎以对员工非常的慷慨而著名。故答案为C。］

2.A［细节理解题。根据第三段第二句中的"Cakanthoughthisbestpeopleshouldn,t

havetostruggletogettowork”可知，察坎为他最优秀的员工提供汽车是为了让他们

轻松地去上班。由此可知答案为A。］

3.B［标题归纳题。根据第一段及下文内容可知，本文叙述的是一位慷慨、体贴的老板一

察坎。故"AConsiderateEmployer（—位体贴的老板）”作本文标题最佳。］

语篇解读文章介绍了业余爱好对老年人的好处：锻炼脑力、强身健体。作者呼吁人们马

上行动起来。

4.D［推理判断题。由第二段中的"Theyhavespentsuchagreatdealoftimeraising

theirfamily...Quiteoften,itisnottheiragethatistheconcern.Itisthefact

thattheyareunexpectedlyofferedmoretimeontheirhands."可知,很多老年人年

轻时把时间主要用来养家糊口，年老之后，他们担心的不是变老，而是他们有了过多的可以

自由支配的时间。由此推知，他们原来很少有自由时间。故D选项正确。］

5.A［细节理解题。由第三段中的"Yourmindneedsworkingoutmuchlikeanyother

musclesinyourbody.Thisiswhygettingahobbymatters.n可知，就像你身体的其

他部位一样，你的大脑需要锻炼。这就是业余爱好重要的原因。可知，业余爱好可以锻炼大

脑、增强脑力。故A选项正确。］

6.C［词义猜测题。第三段和第四段主要介绍了业余爱好可以锻炼脑力，同时对身体有好

处。结合选项，该画线单词意思应为C选项：极好的。］

7.C［标题归纳题。文章主要介绍了业余爱好对老年人的好处。最后一段是总结段。最后

一段提到我们可以从业余爱好中受益。你可以有很多选择，马上开始吧。故C项适合做该文

标题•］

语篇解读本文是一篇科普类文章。你所使用的手机或电脑设备能否影响你的道德决

策？为此，研究者对1,010位参与者做了研究。

8.C［推理判断题。根据第二段中的"Onecaseofthequestionsparticipantswereasked

istheclassic'trolley（有轨电车）problem'”可推断出，作者提到有轨电车问题，只

是展示了研究中问题的一个例子。故选C。］

9.A［细节理解题。根据第三段中的"Whatwefoundinourstudyisthatwhenpeople

usedasmartphonetoviewclassicmoralproblems,theyweremorelikelytomakemore

unemotional,reasonabledecisionswhenpresentedwithahighlyemotionaldilemma”

可知，面对情感困境，手机使用者能够更冷静地处理。故选A。］

10.C［细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Thiscouldbeduetotheincreasedtimepressure

oftenpresentwithsmartphonesandalsotheincreasedpsychologicaldistancewhich

canoccurwhenweusesuchdevicescomparedtoPCs.“可知，与电脑相比，手机更使

人感到精神上的疏远。故选C。］

11.D［推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Duetothefactthatoursociallives,work

andevenshoppingtakeplaceonline,itisimportanttothinkabouthowthecontexts

wherewetypicallyfacemoraldecisionsandareaskedtoengageinmoralbehavior

havechanged,andtheimpactthiscouldhaveonthehundredsofmillionsofpeople

whousesuchdevicesdaily.M可知，在日常生活中，人们参与道德决策是很普遍的。］

II.

语篇解读提及技术，成年人将无法跟上他们的孩子。本文论述的是数字世界里的青少

年大脑。

12.B［根据上文“butittookonly20yearsforthephonetoreachthesamenumber,

and13yearsforthetelevision.Incontrast,ittookFacebook3.6years.”由此可

知，B项（Twitteronlyneeded88days.推特只需要88天。）与之匹配。］

13.F［根据上句：他们的大脑似乎有非凡的能力去适应周围的世界。以及下文的"enabling

teenagerstokeepupwiththeincreasingpaceofdigitaltechnology可知，止匕处

说的是青少年的大脑可以适应新技术。故答案为F。］

14.G［根据上句：在美国，青少年平均每天花&5小时在电脑、手机和其他设备上学习、

互动和玩耍。G项指出，如果你把所有的多任务处理都包括在内，这就增加到1L5小时，

承接上句。］

15.D［根据下文：视频网站表示，全世界的青少年都在观看同样的片段，并因为同一个笑

话而哈哈大笑，这表明他们比过去的青少年更具有全球意识。可知，数字趋势的增长是有优

势的。故选D。］

16.A［根据下句：到30岁时，我们的大脑将会变得僵化，让我们更难适应和应对新技术。

可知此空的意思是：适应新技术也不是无限制的，有一个截止。此空位于句首，和上文内容

是一个转折关系。故选A。］

答案解析

I.

语篇解读作者小时候和好朋友因为集邮而偷了老师的信，导致了老师和男朋友关系破

裂。作者和好朋友为此感到非常后悔和羞愧。

1.B［细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句"Applewantedthatstampbadlyandtheidea

ofstealingtheletteroccurredtohim.Iwasfrightenedandbeggedhimnottodo

that."可知，作者当时对Apple的计划感到害怕。故选B。］

2.A［细节理解题。根据第四段第二句"Itwasaman,shandwriting.Intheletter,

themanimploredourteachertoforgivehimandaskedhertomeethimatthegate

ofCentralParkateightthatevening.v可知，这位男士给作者的老师写信是为了向她

道歉。故选限］

3.D［推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Shesaidthatsheoncehadafriendwhowasa

stamp-collectortoo,butshehadlosthimforeverw可知,老师和那位男士最后分手

了。故选D。］

4.A［推理判断题。根据前面的讲述可知，是Apple和作者的错误行为导致了老师和男朋

友分手；不知道真相的老师还把她本来为男朋友收集的邮票给了Apple；再根据最后一段第

一句"Afewdayslater,Applerantomewithstampsinhishandandtearsinhis

eyes.”可知，Apple一定是非常悔恨自己的行为，所以很可能以后都不再集邮了。故选A。］

II.

语篇解读作者的老师让他们讨论什么时候一个人才被视为老人，同学们对此各抒己见。

作者以70岁的奶奶仍坚持自己的梦想的例子来说明：一个人如果有梦想并为梦想而奋

斗，就不算老；只有当我们不知道自己的追求让遗憾成为生活的中心时，我们才可以被

视为老人。

5.B［respond回答；agree同意；identify确定；understand明白，理解。大卫说有皱

纹的人即为老人,但玛丽认为“somepeoplemaygainwrinklesatanearlyage”可知，

她并不赞成大卫的说法，故选B。］

6.C［negative消极的；boring令人厌烦的；tough艰苦的；complex复杂的。根据常识

可知，艰苦生活易使人有皱纹，故选C。］

7.C［certainty确定性；wish愿望；doubt怀疑；concern关心。莉莉说60岁及以上的

人可谓老人，但艾米丽认为"someoldpeoplemaystillbeenergeticandtryingtopursue

theirdreamsw,即她对莉莉的观点也表示怀疑。可推断选C。］

8.B［attractive有吸引力的；young年轻的；intelligent聪明的；ambitious有抱负的。

结合语境可判断，此空应与"someoldpeople”相对应，即老人ubeenergeticandtrying

topursuetheirdreams”使他们显得年轻。故选B。］

9.A［reachconclusion为固定搭配，意为“得出结论”。根据“sotheteacherasked

ustothinkaboutitafterclass”可推断出，同学们对老师的提问未得出任何结论，故

选A。]

10.C[embarrassment尴尬；barrier障碍；question问题；confusion混乱。根据语境

可知，此空应指老师的提问“whenamancouldbereferredtoasanoldman”，由此

判断选C。]

11.B[preserve保存，维持；seek寻找；treasure珍视；possess拥有。根据下文对奶

奶故事的介绍以及“Soifwehaveourdreamsandseekforthem,wearen,told.”

可判断选B。]

12.A[even甚至；nearly几乎；only只有；hardly几乎不。甚至当奶奶70岁了，她还

在追求自己的梦想。故选A。]

13.D[realize意识到；change改变；promote提升；keep保持。由上下文可知，奶奶想

当画家的梦想从孩提时代到70岁的高龄一直没有放弃过，即一直保持着这个梦想，故选D。]

14.D[therefore因此；instead相反；moreover而且；however然而。尽管奶奶一直保

持着这份梦想，然而因为家里穷，她不得不将自己的梦想搁置在一旁。前后是转折关系，故

选D。]

15.C[giveup放弃；searchfor寻找；putaside放在一边，暂不考虑；stickto坚持。

根据usteppedintothetoraisemoneysoastosupportherfamily”可推断奶奶是

将其梦想搁置在一旁。故选C。]

16.A[society社会；reality现实；world世界；office办公室。根据该空后的toraise

money可知，奶奶选择退学，步入社会去赚钱养家。故选A。]

17.D[seldom很少；occasionally偶尔；already已经；never从不。根据uMygrandma

issuchawomanwhopursuesherdreamwhenshe's70now.”可知，奶奶从来没有放

弃过她的梦想，故选D。]

18.A[time时间；excuse理由，借口；help帮助；money钱。根据..chancecamewhen

sheretiredfromherwork.,,可推断，奶奶退休以后才有时间学画画，即奶奶是因为没有

时间才一直未实现她的梦想。故选A。]

19.B[suddenly突然地；eventually最终地，最后地；soon很快；gradually逐步地，

渐渐地。奶奶年轻的时候将其梦想搁置在一旁，直到退休才终于有时间去实现梦想。故选Bo]

20.C[because因为；once一旦；though虽然；un16ss除非。虽然她满头白发、满脸皱

纹，但是她开始上绘画课程。故选C。]

21.D［with与；for为了；at在；against反对。根据”...butafterseeingherpaint

happilyandenjoyably,Ifeelingitagoodchoice.v可知，起初我反对奶奶的想法,

故选D。］

22.D［risk冒险；reject拒绝；continue继续；begin开始。起初作者反对奶奶上绘画

课的想法，but表示转折意义，所以此处是说作者“开始觉得奶奶的选择是对的"，故选Do］

23.A［energetic精力充沛的;gentle温和的;optimistic乐观的；wealthy富有的。根

据上一句"seeingherpainthappilyandenjoyably和该空后alooksfine”可知，此

处指奶奶看上去精力充沛。故选A。］

24.B［achievement成就；regret后悔；dream梦想；difficulty困难。全文最后两句互

为对应，可推断此句意为“当我们不知道自己的追求而让遗憾成为生活的中心的时候，我们

才算‘老'。"故选B。］

III.

语篇解读本文主要讲述了调查显示大多数的树种向西迁移。尽管科学家们不确定是什

么导致了这一变化，但一项研究认为它与降雨有关。

25.areexpected［考查语态和主谓一致。本句中expect的宾语是treespecies,故本句

要用被动语态。treespecies是复数名词，故填areexpectedo］

26.a［考查冠词。句意为：但最近的一项调查显示了……，用冠词a泛指“一个"。］

27.stronger［考查比较级。根据than可知，要用比较级，故填stronger。］

28.surveyed［考查非谓语动词。treespecies与survey是被动关系，所以要用过去分

词surveyed作后置定语。］

29.since［考查连词。本句中用了现在完成时。连词since(自从)+过去的时间状语，主

句用现在完成时。故填since。］

30.themselves［考查反身代词。分析语境可知，树木不会自己(themselves)连根拔起搬

到别处去，故填themselves。］

31.plants［考查名词复数。根据someoftheolder...可知，应该是植物的复数plants。

故填plants。］

32.what［考查名词性从句。sure后的宾语从句中缺少主语，用what。］
