A.showshewasfamiliarwiththecityB.seesomeplacesforthelasttimeC.letthedriverearnmoremoneyD.reachthedestinationontime答案B解析细节理解题。由第八段可推知,这位老人想在进安养所前最后看看这座生活了一生的城市。22.Thetaxidriverdidnotchargetheoldwomanbecausehe.

A.wantedtodoherafavourB.shutoffthemeterbymistakeC.hadreceivedherpaymentinadvanceD.wasinahurrytotakeotherpassengers答案A解析推理判断题。由第八段可知,老人已没有任何亲人活在世上,而且不久于人世,将去往末期病人安养所——说明老人的生活很凄惨。第九段讲出租车司机“悄悄地伸出手关掉计价器”,由此可推知,司机很同情老人,想给她一点帮助。23.Whatcanwelearnfromthestory?A.Givingisalwaysapleasure.B.Peopleshouldrespecteachother.C.Anactofkindnesscanbringpeoplegreatjoy.D.Peopleshouldlearntoappreciateothers’concern.答案C解析主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了一位好心的司机帮助一位孤寡老人的事情,即:善行能够给别人带来很大的快乐。文章最后一句也印证了这一点。BHaveyoueverthoughtofquittingyourjobwhenyoufeelexhausted?Maybemostofyouwouldsay“yes”.Afteraparticularlybusyperiodatwork,IdecidedtogetawayfromitallbygoingonahikeinthemountainsinsouthernFrance.BeforeIleft,Ireadaninterestingstoryinamagazine.Itread,“Once,whileIwasridingonacrowdedbus,themansittingnexttomethrewhiscellphoneoutofthewindowwhenhisphonerang.Iwassurprised.Helookedatme,shrugged(耸耸肩)andlookedaway.Ihadnoideawhetheritwashisorstolenorwhetherheevenknewwhatacellphonewasornot,butheclearlywantedtobefreeofit,becauseitclearlytroubledhim.”Billionsofpeopleacrosstheworldusecellphones.Thoughcellphonesareawonderfulwayformunication,theyoftendotheexactopposite.Usingcellphonescanincreasestresswithinfamiliesandfriends.SowhenIrecentlyreturnedhome,Igotridofmycellphone.NowIgooutsidewithouttakingmyphonewithme.I’venoticedthingsinmyneighbourhoodInevernoticedbefore,suchasgardens.I’vemetnewpeople,startedconversationswithneighboursIdidn’tspeaktobeforeandtalkedwithsomeofmyfriendsfacetofaceinsteadofchattingoverthephone.Insteadofkeepingmeofffromtheworld,stoppingusingmycellphonehashelpedmegetevenclosertomyfamilyandfriends.24.Accordingtothestory,themanonthebusthrewawayhiscellphonebecause.

A.itdidn’tworkproperlyB.itwasstolenfromsomeoneelseC.hedidn’tlikethephone’sstyleD.hedidn’twanttobebotheredbyit答案D解析细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Ihadnoideawhetheritwashisorstolenorwhetherheevenknewwhatacellphonewasornot,butheclearlywantedtobefreeofit,becauseitclearlytroubledhim.”可知,公共汽车上的那个男士不想被打扰,所以把它扔了。故选D项。25.Wecanlearnfromthepassagethatcellphones.

A.aretooexpensiveformanypeopleB.areofnousetotheauthorC.canalsogetpeopleintotroubleD.canmakelifemoreinteresting答案C解析推理判断题。纵观全文,特别是第三段“Thoughcellphonesareawonderfulwayformunication,theyoftendotheexactopposite.Usingcellphonescanincreasestresswithinfamiliesandfriends.”可以推断出,也能使人陷入困境。故选C项。26.Whatcanwelearnabouttheauthor?A.Hewantstoownagardennow.B.Healwayschattedwithhisneighbours.C.Heusedtotakehiscellphonewhengoingoutside.D.Heoncethrewawayhiscellphone.答案C解析推理判断题。根据第四段中“SowhenIrecentlyreturnedhome,Igotridofmycellphone.NowIgooutsidewithouttakingmyphonewithme.”可知,作者过去外出经常带。故选C项。27.Theauthorwritesthepassagemainlyto.

A.tellusnottoletcellphonescontrolourlivesB.encourageotherstohikewithhiminFranceC.sharehisexperiencesinFrancewithusD.teachushowtogetalongwithneighbours答案A解析写作意图题。根据文章最后一段“Insteadofkeepingmeofffromtheworld,stoppingusingmycellphonehashelpedmegetevenclosertomyfamilyandfriends.”可知,本文的目的是告诉我们不要让控制我们的生活。故选A项。CHelsinkiisofferingyoungpeoplethechancetorentacheapapartmentinanoldpeople’shome,iftheyagreetospendtimesocialisingwiththeelderlyresidents.Thecitycouncil(议会)isseekingapplicationsfromrentersundertheageof25whowillmittospendingbetweenthreeandfivehourseachweekwiththeirolderneighbours,atacarehomeintheeasternLaajasalodistrict.Inexchange,they’llgetastudioflatmeasuring23squaremetreswithaprivatekitchen,bathroomandbalconyfor250eurospermonth.Currentlyonlythreeflatsareavailable,butthescheme(方案)ispartofawiderefforttodealwithalackofacmodationforyoungpeopleinthecapital.Ordinarilyastudioflatcostsabout600eurosamonth,dependingonthearea,onelocaluniversityadvises.Thosewhoapplydon’tneedanyspecificcareexperience.“Therearestafftolookaftertheelderly,”projectmanagerMikiMielonentellsYle.“Wearelookingforyoungpeoplewhomaybehaveadifferentperspectiveoneverydaylife,whowillbringvarietyandrecreationtotheelderlyresidents.”Morethan60peoplehaveappliedforthespacesinlessthanaweek,andtheideahasalsobeenwidelyrecognisedbyFinnsonsocialmedia.“Greatproject,hopefullyitwillspreadtootherareas,”writesonepersonontheInternet,whileanotherapplaudstheschemeforbringingdifferentgenerationstogether.Butsomewishitwereopentomorepeople,withoneusersaying:“It’sashamethattheflatsaresosmall.Itwouldhavebeenniceiftheelderlyhadasmallfamilywithchildrenorasingleparentastheirneighbour.”Andonepersonhasadifferentopinionaboutthecutoffage,writing:“WhatashameI’mtoooldforthis—Iwouldhavesurelyapplied.”

28.Onecanprobablygetthecheapapartmentifhe.

A.reachestheageof25B.hasfinancialproblemsC.promisestoacpanytheelderlyD.agreestoshareit答案C解析细节理解题。由第一段中的“...iftheyagreetospendtimesocialisingwiththeelderlyresidents.”可知,只要他们同意花时间与老人进行交流,就可以得到便宜的公寓。由构词法可知,socialise是由social派生来的动词,其意为“发生社交往来”。这是解该题的关键。29.Whyisthenewrentschemeaccepted?A.Itcanbenefitboththeyoungandtheold.B.Itdoesn’tneedanyprofessionaltraining.C.Theflatsarewellequipped.D.Bigapartmentsareinshortsupply.答案A解析归纳概括题。由第二、三两段可知,市议会的这一举措既让老年人有人陪伴,又能让25岁以下的年轻人租到廉价的房子。因此说这种新的租赁措施有益于年轻人,也有益于老年人。30.Whatdoestheunderlinedsentencesuggest?A.Hedoesn’twanttogrowup.B.Hehasachancetoapplyagain.C.Hedisapprovesoftheagelimit.D.Heappliesfortheflatwithouthesitation.答案C解析细节理解题。由引号前的部分可知,写此话的人对设定的年龄分界(cutoffage)持不同观点。再结合引号中的“WhatashameI’mtooold”等可推知,此人不同意前面提到的规定25岁以下的这个“年龄限制”。31.Whatwouldbethebesttitleofthetext?A.YoungFinnsOfferedCheapFlatsataCareHomeB.NewApartmentsDesignedfortheElderlyC.ANewApproachtoCaringfortheOldD.AGoodChancefortheNeedyFamilies答案A解析文章标题题。文章介绍了(芬兰)Helsinki市议会的一项举措:为年龄25岁以下的年轻人提供低价住房,同时他们必须每周挤出3到5个小时去敬老院陪伴老人,且很多年轻人踊跃申请。由四个选项可知,A项最佳。DSelflessconcernforthebenefitsofothersmaybeginininfancy(婴儿期),accordingtoanewstudyofnearly100babies.ResearchersattheUniversityofWashingtonfoundthatnearlyallthe19montholdbabiesgaveatastysnacktoastrangerinneed,evenwhenhungry.Accordingtoresearchers,thefindingsnotonlyshowthatinfantsengageinaltruistic(无私的)behaviour,butalsosuggestthatearlysocialexperiencescanshapealtruism.“Wethinkaltruismisimportanttostudybecauseitisoneofthemostdistinctiveaspectsofbeinghumans.Itisanimportantpartofoursociety,”saidleadauthorRodolfoCortesBarragan,aresearcherattheuniversity’sInstitute.“Weadultshelpeachotherwhenweseeanotherinneedandwedothisevenifthereisacosttotheself.Sowetestedtherootsofthisininfants.”Inthefirstexperiment,19montholdbabiesrepeatedlygaveapieceoffruittoastrangerandevenmoredidsowhilehungryinasecondexperiment.“Theinfantsinthissecondstudylookedatthefruitforawhileduetotheirownsituationandthentheygaveitaway,”saidAndrewMeltzoff.“Wethinkthisshowsakindofbabysizedtypeofaltruistichelping.”Forthestudy,researcherschosekidfriendlyfruits—bananas,blueberriesandgrapes.Thegoalwastodeterminewhetherthechildwould,withoutencouragement,verbalinstruction,giveanappealingfoodtoanunfamiliarperson.Inanotherexperiment,thechildandtheadultresearcherfacedeachotheracrossatable,andtheresearchershowedthechildapieceoffruit.Inallcasesinfantscouldhaveretreatedtotheirparentandeatenthefoodinsteadofgivingitup.Thestudyauthorsalsofoundthatchildrenfromcertainculturalbackgroundswereespeciallylikelytohelp,indicatingthatinfantaltruismisflexible.“Wethinkcertainfamilyandsocialexperiencesmakeadifference.Ifwecandiscoverhowtopromotealtruismonkids,thiscouldmoveustowardamorecaringsociety.”32.Theunderlinedword“this”inthesecondparagraphmayreferto.

A.altruismB.societyC.cost D.aspect答案A解析代词指代题。根据第二段的“Weadultshelpeachotherwhenweseeanotherinneedandwedothisevenifthereisacosttotheself”可以得知,付出代价还帮助他人,这是无私的行为,而研究者就想了解这种无私行为的根源。33.Whydidtheinfantslookatthefruitforawhile?A.Theylikedtobepartsofsociety.B.Theydidn’tliketheexperiments.C.Theywantedtoeatthefruitthere.D.Theydidn’tliketohelptheothers.答案C解析推理判断题。根据文章第三段的“evenmoredidsowhilehungryinasecondexperiment”可以得知,在第二个实验中孩子们还是饥饿的,据此可以推知他们看那水果一会儿是因为他们也想吃那水果。34.Whatdidtheresearchersdobeforetheexperiment?A.Theyencouragedalltheinfants.B.Theygaveclearinstructions.C.Theyletinfantsknowstrangers.D.Theypreparedwhattheinfantsliked.答案D解析细节理解题。根据文章第四段的“giveanappealingfoodtoanunfamiliarperson”可以得知,在实验前研究者所要做的就是给孩子们准备他们喜欢的食物。35.Whatistheimportanceofstudyingaltruism?A.Peoplecanknowsocialexperience.B.Peoplecanhaveaharmoniouslife.C.Peoplecanshapetheirownworld.D.Peoplecanenjoymorefreshfruits.答案B解析推理判断题。根据文章第五段的“Ifwecandiscoverhowtopromotealtruismonkids,thiscouldmoveustowardamorecaringsociety”可知,如果孩子在很小的时候就有无私的品质,那么我们的世界将会是一个更加关爱的世界,也就是更加和谐了。第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Weareallcalledupontomakeaspeechatsomepointinlife,butmostofusdon’tdoaverygoodjob.36So,youhavetogiveaspeech—andyouareterrified.Yougetnervous,youforgetwhatyouwanttosay,youstumble(结结巴巴)overwords,youtalktoolong,andyouboreyouraudience.Lateryouthink,“ThankGoodness;it’sover.I’mjustnotgoodatpublicspeaking.IhopeIneverhavetodothatagain.”
