合语境。故选C项。【19题详解】考查形容词。句意：想一个特别的人或一只忠诚的宠物。分析句意，再根据空格后的pet可知，此处用形容词devoted表示“忠诚的”宠物，符合语境。故选H项。【20题详解】考查形容词。句意：让我们花点时间训练自己去快乐——我们的生活会因此变得更快乐、更健康。分析句式结构可知，be动词后面应该用形容词作表语，所以此处用形容词joyful表示“快乐的、高兴的”与下文的happier呼应。故选F项。Ⅲ.ReadingComprehensionSectionA(1*15=15)Directions:ForeachblankinthefollowingpassagestherearefourwordsorphrasesmarkedA,B,C,andD.Fillineachblankwiththewordorphrasethatbestfitsthecontext.I’manattorney(代理人),achildren’sbookauthor,anentrepreneur(企业家),andaregularvolunteeratmychurch.HavingmovedtoCaliforniafromNewYorkrecently,Ioftenwakeuptothousandsof____21____andemails.Likemanyofyou,I’mabusypersonandalwaysonthego.Istartedastorytelling____22____calledtheAuditoryMuseum.Webelieveinthepowerofsharedexperiences.Aspartofourmission,weare____23____tousingpersonalstoriesasameansforsocialchange.Oneday,Iflewbacktotheeastcoastforafriend’swedding.Afterit,Ihadafewhourstokillbeforemyred-eyeflightbackhome.Likeanyotherentrepreneurs,Idecidedtositinthehotellobbyat____24____withmylaptopandgetsomeworkdone.Whilewritinganemailabouttheimportanceofstorytelling,Iwas____25____byagentlemanwhowascuriousastowhatIwasworkingon.____26____thatIhadlostmytrainofthought,Igavehimafakesmile.____27____withmyicyresponsetohimthegentleman____28____nexttomeinthehotellobby.“Whyareyouworkingnow?Whatdoyoudo?Whereareyoufrom?”Now,atthispoint,theironywasnotlostonme.Iwasso____29____mytaskthatIhadprioritized______30______anon-pressingemailovertheopportunitytoengageinconversation.Iclosedmylaptopandsmiled.Itoldthegentlemanaboutmyjob,mycompany,mypassionforstorytelling,andmy______31______tocreatesocialchangethroughthesharingofpersonalexperiences.Hebegantotellmehislifestory.Onehourlater,hethankedmeformytime,wishedmegoodluckand______32______.ThatnightIlearnedavery______33______lesson.Weliveinagenerationobsessedwithself-improvement,self-help,self______34______etc.Idon’tthinkthereisanythingwrongwithfocusingonourselves.Infact,itisarguablynecessaryforpersonalgrowth.However,wecanoftenfindtheanswertolife’sgreatestproblemsoutsideofourselves,inhuman______35______.21.A.books

D.inthenewspaper.【答案】40.A41.B42.D【解析】【导语】本文是一则广告。全世界似乎都在关注城市化，但在过去5年斯特鲁特和帕克房产代理商对住房未来的研究中，他们看到了住房方面出现了一种新趋势，即人们希望搬回农村。本文介绍了斯特鲁特和帕克的四处房产信息。【40题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“Infact,aquarterofallregisteredbusinessesarebasedinrurallocations.(事实上，四分之一的注册企业都位于农村地区)”可知，位于农村地区的注册企业占“四分之一”，A项“Mostoftheregisteredbusinessesarebasedinruralareas.(大多数注册企业都位于农村地区)”陈述错误。故选A项。【41题详解】细节理解题。根据本题题干“Mikeisplanningtoinvestinavillagecottageatarelativelylowpriceandlendittoparentswithtwochildren.(麦克打算以相对较低的价格投资一间乡村小屋，并借给有两个孩子的父母。)”可知，麦克要找价位相对便宜的，有三个房间的房子，并租出去。根据“No.1Guideprice₤795,000”，“No.2Guideprice₤365,000”，“No.3Guideprice₤775,000”，“No.4Guideprice₤190,000A”的价位比较，以及“No.2Guideprice₤365,000”的“Agenerousthree-bedroomfamilyhomeinbeautifulsurroundingswithimpressiveviewsoverthecountrysideandbeyond.(宽敞的三居室家庭住宅，环境优美，可以欣赏到令人印象深刻的乡村景色。)”可知，No.2价位相对较低，房间数量正好，麦克可以选No.2。故选B项。【42题详解】推理判断题。根据标题下的图片和第一段“Formorepropertiesvisitourwebsite(更多房产请访问我们的网站)”可知，此处用了动词visit而不是click“点击”，由此可知，这些信息极可能是来自于报纸。故选D项。(C)Growingolddoesnotincreaseyourimmediatedangerofdying—atleast,ifyouareafruitfly.ThechancesofaMediterraneanfruitflydyingoutonaparticulardayreachesapeak(顶峰)andthendeclines,accordingtoJamesCareyoftheUniversityofCaliforniaandDavisandJamesVaupelofDukeUniversity.Theirresultsdisagreewiththegeneralideathatthedeathrateriseswithageinallspecies.Theresearchwillcausealong-runningdebateoverwhetherornotthereisageneticallydefinedlimit(遗传上的极限)toanindividual’slifespan(寿命).Ifthereisnotandthefruitflyresultsextendtohumans,thenmedicaladvancesmighteventuallyallowtheelderlytoliveforever.Intheearly19thcentury,theBritishscientistBenjaminGompertzformedalawstatingthatdeathratesincreasewithage.Foranadulthumantheimmediatechanceofdeathseemstodoubleeveryeightyears.TheGompertzlawwasbelievedtoholdforallspeciesandtoputanagelimitoneachspecies.Totestthistheory,CareyandVaupelstudiedmorethanamillionfruitflies.Theyfoundthatthedeathratereachedamaximumofaboutfifteenpercentwhentheflieswerebetween40and60daysold,andthenfell.Fliesthatsurvivedto100dayshadonlya4to6percentchanceofdyingonagivenday.Inotherwords,thechancesofdyingseemnottoincreasesharplyinadvancedage,aspredictedbytheGompertzlaw;rather,theyseemtoleveloff.IfGompertzlawdoesnotholdforhumanbeingseither,thentheremaybenogeneticallydefinedlimitonaperson’slifespan.43.Whatdoesthepassagemainlydealwith?A.Thehabitsoffruitflies.
