主题语境:人与自我-做人与做事本文是记截文，作者是一名工程师，但是喜欢喜剧表演，报名学习喜剧的

过程让她意识到，不要刻意迎合他人。而要走自己认为正确的道路.

24.Bo推断。根据第一段中的ButcomedyexpertClaireLaMonroedidn'tevenHashasmilefɪʃ⅛I,CIaire对作

者的第一次表演感到不满意。

25.Do理解具体信息。根据第一段中的IhadgiVenher...jokeabouttake-your-kids-to-workday和例数第二中的

ɪtalkedaboutmyofficelife可知，作者想谈的是自己的办公生活之类的日窝。B项是Claire给作者的建议“Ialk

aboutlifeintheneighborhood,,的错误联想:C项根据第三段术的asproudasɪwasofmyroots,ldidn,twantto

turnthatlifeintojokes我除。

26.C,解词汇。根据第三段中的Iwasn,texactlysurewhatCluiremeant和划线短语后的IfIwantedtobe

authenticandreal,Ihadtodowhatfelttighttome可知，作者在上台表演前，突然明白了Claire的意思。

27.Do理解主旨要义。根据全文特别是最后两段可知,作者最终没有遵循喜剧专家给自己设定的路线，而是

选择了自己认为正确的道路，最终找到了自己的幽默。Flmny在此作名词,意为“笑话,有趣的故事”。

主题语境:人与自然一自然生态

本文是说明文。研究发现，金鹅会调整发声以适应不同的环境。

28.Co理解具体信息。根据第二段中的Thesignaturesbecamemaresimilarovertimeforpenguinsthatwere

partnersorinthesamecolony,andforpenguinsthatheardmoreofeachother'scalls可知，录音显示同∙群体当

中的企萧发声相似,即企鹅会被此同化发声

29.Ao理解目的。根据第三段首句Thisadaptationcouldmakeiteasierforpenguinstofindtheirpartnersand

friendsinacolony可知，作者引用Baciadonna的话是为了说明企鹅为什么会出现发声的变化。

3（）.Bo理解具体信息。根据第四段中的Identifyingwhichspeciesdisplayvocalaccommodationcouldprovide

cluesforhowvocallearningevolved可知，此项研究的意义在于了解哪些物种洲有发声调节能力,有助于人类

更好地研究发声学习的进化。

31.Ao推断。根据Ortiz在最后一段中说的Therecouldbeahugevarietyofdifferentspecies...butwedon'tknow

IhaIyel和IlSeemSfUrlherreSearChiSnceded可知，OlliZ觉得有发声调节能力的物种可能很多，只是我们目

前还不知道，看来还需要进一步的研究。山此可推断QriZ建议研究人员收集其他物种的粗关证据。

主题语境:人与社会-本文是说明文。文章通过介绍SherifBaioumy的餐车营生表明街边摊贩是一座城市鲜

活的见证。

32.Do理解具体信息。根据第二段中的信facttheyplayavitalrole—notjustbyfeedingpeople,butasliving

recordsoftheircitiesnchanginghabitsandpopulation网知,街边摊贩的重要性不仅在于他们为人们提供了食

物，还体现在他们见证着一座城市生活习惯的变化和人口的变迁，是一个地方的过去和现在的见证者。

33.Co推断。根据第三段中的CallingMrBaioumyfriendlyislikecallingwaterdamp;heischeerfulandwarm,

whetherfist-bumpingwithhisregularsorattractingpassers-byUJ推知Baioumy的友好令其备受顺客们欢迎。

34.Bo推断。倒数第二段首句表明，这些洁真食品车（halalcarts是新生事物,在这之前人们的街头午餐选择是

希腊的Souvlaki《烤肉串）,但是随着希腊移民的减少以及希腊摊贩的老龄化（immigrationfromGireeceslowed

andGreekvendorsaged）7腊美食随之减少，这才催生了清真食品车

的兴起。35.B0推断。根据最后一段中的Intime,thechickenandlambthatMrBaioumysellsmayseemas

UnremarkabIyAmericanashotdogs和Butasfooddevelops.NewYork'sfoodcartsservethesamefunction:

offeringaquickmealandfriendlygreetingtoacityforeverinahurry可知，Baioumy的小吃以后虽然会变得像

热狗一样平淡无奇，但是随着食物的演变,纽约的小吃推车会扮演同样的功能一一为多匆忙忙的纽约人提供

一顿快餐的同时,也捎去了一句问候由此可推断，BaiOUmy的小吃将会成为纽约这座城市的一部分。

G.However,don'toverdoitanddon,tspendtoomuchtimetalkingaboutyourself

主题语境:人与自我-做事本文是说明文，求职面试时该如何做自我介绍呢？

36.Ao根据设空处前的You11haveanopportunitytointroduceyourselffstartaninterviewwithanopen-ended

question网知，此处是刚开始面试时的情形，因此A项符合语境。B项不符合StartarlinIerVieW的语境。

37.Do根据设空处后的enableyoutomeetitsrequirements可则，D顶中的analyzethejobbeforetheinterview

与之呼应，只有面试前好好分析工作的相关情况，才能在面试时谈论令自己能够满足其要求的相关内容，

设空处后的its指代D项中的thejob.

38.Fo根据小标恩Keepyourintroductionshort和设空处前的Yourintroductionshouldbeconciseenough可

炯，此处强调介绍应该简短下项中的aquickbrief、bestqualificationsenough与之呼应

39.Go设空处上一句提到“你最初的发言应该表明你对该工作和机构的热情”，下一句提到“面试官时间

有限,所以你的介绍要简短，这样才会推进到下一个阶段的问题”,这两句中间缺少一个承上启下的句子;G项

与上一句构成转折,引出下一句内容,符合语境。

40.Co根据接下来的两段内容可知，此部分主要谈论“面试官会提出更多的问题，你要准备好提供具体的事

例”。由此可知，C项符合语境，其中的Bepreparedfollow-up>questions均在下文原词复现倒数第二段中

followupyourintroductionwithmorequestions明确表明此处是自我介绍后的提问环节，故排除B项。

主题语境:人与自我-生活与学习

本文是说明文。文章说明了表们的记忆会IH错并指出了这种机制的利弊。

41.Co前两句是对比关系:人类的记忆力非常强，但也有把事情记错的习惯。注phenomenaIly意为“出众地,

非凡地

42.A.根据Ihada.vividmemory>Inhermemory和donesomethingcompletelydifferenttochooseNate'sname

可刘，作者和妻子当时正在讨论他们是如何选出小儿子的名字的。

43.Dt,44.C。根据because.…oneWebothIoVed可知,作者记得他们夫委俩是在发现了一个他俩都喜欢的名宁

后就不再选

45.Bo46.C.根据justalew和gonebackandchosenonefromthemiddleofthelist可知，妻子不同意作者的说

法。在她的记忆中，他们列了个长得多的名单，全部看完后从名单的中间选了一个。

47.Ao48.D.根据thepieceofpaperwe'dused、andfoundthat和donesomethingcompletelydifferentR∣⅛l,

他们找出了那张使用过的纸，然后发现他们实际上在取名字时微了完全不同的事。dig。Ut童为“找出，发现

(藏着的或被遗忘的东西)

49.B.根据andsimilarbitsofinformationcanOVerEPinourbrains可知，记忆常常通过取想工作，相似的信息

会在我们头脑中重受。

50.Aobut后需要一个与IOgiCal形成转折关系的词，故选UntrUe。untrue与下句中的Wrong构成词汇的同义

复现。

51.C,根据wemakeitstronger可知,每当我们唤起某段记忆的时候，这段记忆会变得更深刻，

52.A(>根据上段中提到的记忆会出错和本段中的goodnews...helpustofindinformation可知,有时导致

错误的联想也可能帮助我们找到信息。

53.D<,54.Bo根据helpustofindinformationtrythinkingofthingsyouassociatewiththem和seeifyourbrain

gets...itneeds可知，当你想不起某人的名字时，试着想与那个人有关的事情，然后看看你的大脑是否得到

了它需要的提示。

55.Co根据process:mind-blowinglypowerfulandalsoopentomistakes可知，记忆是个创造性的过程:强大得

令人难以置信但也容易出错。

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

主题语境:人与自然一•字宙探索

本文是新闻报道。一位业余天文爱好者发现了34对新的棕矮双星。

56.tonoticeo考查动词不定式。manageIodosth意为“设法去做某事”

57.professionalso考查名词复数。professional在句中意为“专业人士”，是可数名词且之前没有限定词,故用

复数。

58.scientifico考查形容词。设空处作定语修饰名词discoVery.故填SCientific。

59.whereo考查关系副词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句修饰IheBackyardworklsprojecl,且在从句中作状

谱，故填WhereC60.collectedo考查动词-ed形式。设空处作后贸定语，且COlleCt与data之间是逻辑上的动

宾关系，故填Collectedo

61.ao考查冠词。本句解释browndwarf的意思:棕矮星是一种质量介于恒星和行星之间的天体。此处的Star

表泛指，故其前用a句中的AbrOWndWarf和aplanet也提示了答案。

62.wasknowno考查•般过去时被动语态IitHe作主语时，谓语用单数。little与know之间是被动关系，且

此处描述过去的动作，故填WaSknoWn63.personally0考查副词。设空处修饰谓语动词，故填副词PerSOnaHy.

64.analysiso考查名词。根据the...Of可知设空处应填名词，且此处意为“分析"，故analysis。

65.ofo考查介词。beworthyof意为"值得"
