Visually,myparents’booksweremyworstnightmare.IrememberthinkingtomyselfthattherewasnowayIwouldbeabletoreadthesebooks.(就在那时，我发现了我父母的旧的哈利波特系列丛书。从视觉上看，父母的书是我最可怕的噩梦。我记得我当时对自己说，我是不可能读懂这些书的)”可推知，作者在看到这套书的破旧样子后感到很沮丧。故选C项。【6题详解】词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Whenitwastimeformetoreadthefinalcopy,Iwaskindofachangedwoman.

Istillstronglydislikedoldbooks,buttheplotoftheentireHarryPotterserieshadattractedmesomuchIhadalmostentirelyforgottenwhatthebookslookedlike.(当我读最后一本书的时候，我好像变了一个人。我仍然非常不喜欢旧书，但是整个哈利波特系列的情节吸引了我，我几乎完全忘记了这些书的样子)”可知，作者说“Iwaskindofachangedwoman(自己变了一个人)”，是指她开始更多地关注书的内容而忽略书的品相。故选B项。【7题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Iusedtohateoldbooks.(我过去讨厌旧书)”和最后一段中“Now,Iloveoldbooks.(现在，我喜欢旧书)”可知，本文讲述了作者从不喜欢旧书到爱上旧书的心路历程。故D项“MyJourneywithOldBooks(我的旧书之旅)”作标题最能概括全文主旨。故选D项。CWhenyouseesomeonetakethatfirstsipoffreshlymademilktea,theirfaceslooklikepurejoy.Acrosstheworld,customersstreamintotheirfavoritespotstomeetwithfriendsandenjoythesetastydrinks.Intheearly2000s,though,milkteawasjustingonthescene.Thefewbrandsthatearnedafootholdintheindustrywereconcerned:withsomuchnewexcitementforthisproduct,wouldpeoplebeabletodistinguishmilkteapanies?ThiswasthequestionthatSerenitea,aManilabasedmilkteapanyfacedin2014.Whilesuccessfullyopening60stores,theyfoundthemselvesinastrategicfog.Unsureofwhatconsumers,trulyfelttowardsthedrink,theyofferedasmanyflavorsaspossible.Theyalsohadnocleardefinitionofhowtheyweredistinct

Young主张单纯的练习不足以达到精通，需要正确方法和高质量反馈。【12题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“Asthesayinggoes,practicemakesperfect.Whileitmaysoundlikegoodadvice,it’snotthebestorfastestpathbecausepracticecanonlygetyousofar,saysScottYoung,authorofGetBetteratAnything:12MaximsforMastery.(俗话说，熟能生巧。《在任何事情上都做得更好：精通的12条格言》一书的作者斯科特·杨说，虽然这听起来像是好建议，但这并不是最好或最快的方法，因为练习只能让你走到这一步。)”和“Practiceisnotacureall.(练习并非万能药。)”可知ScottYoung在其书中提出的想法是练习可能不能保证卓越。故选D项。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段的“It’simportanttodothecorrecttechniquefromthebeginning.That’swhypianoteachersandtenniscoachesprefertotrainsomeonewhohashadnoexperienceratherthansomeonewhohashadalotofexperience.Bystartingwiththecorrecttechniques,beginnerscangraspskillsmorequickly.Withoutestablishedhabitstobreak,theyaremorelikelytobuildastrongbaseforlongtermimprovement.(从一开始就掌握正确的技术很重要。这就是为什么钢琴老师和网球教练更喜欢训练没有经验的人，而不是有很多经验的人。通过从正确的技术开始，初学者可以更快地掌握技能。没有既定的习惯可以打破，他们更有可能为长期进步奠定坚实的基础。)”可知，通过从正确的技术开始，初学者可以更快地掌握技能。)可知，Young提到钢琴老师和网球教练是为了说明一个观点，即从一开始就使用正确技术的重要性。故选C项。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段的“Hearguedfortheideaofdeliberatepractice,whichwasnotjustpracticebutpracticeundertheguidancewithimmediatefeedbackaboutyourperformance.(他主张有意图的练习，这种练习不仅仅是练习，而是在指导下的练习，并且立即得到关于你表现的反馈。)”可知AndersEricsson提倡的是在有效指导下的练习。故选A项。【15题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Instead,hesuggestsasking,‘Ifyouweregoingtomakethisbetter,whatwouldyoudo?’Byaskinghowtoimproveit,weshiftthefocusfromjudgmenttopracticalstepsforaddressinganyconcerns.(相反，他建议问，“如果你要让这变得更好，你会怎么做？”通过询问如何改进，我们将注意力从评判转移到解决任何问题的实际步骤上。)”可知，在Young看来，更好的寻求反馈的方式是询问改进的方法。故选C项。第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Theworldhasawaterproblemwhichissimpletounderstandbutnottosolve.Theamountofwaterintheworldislimited.Waterusageintheworldhasincreasedduringthepast10years.Usagewillcontinuetoincreaseasthepopulationgrowsandusesmorewater.Athirdoftheworld’spopulationlivesincountriesthathavetoolittlewater.____16____It’sstrangetothinkthatthereismorethanenoughwateravailableforeveryone’sbasicneeds.____17____Somecountriesaremuchdrierthanothers,forexampleSudaninAfrica.TheUNsaysthatpeopleneedaminimumof50litersofwateradayfordrinking,washing,cookingandsanitation(公共卫生).In1990,overabillionpeopledidnothaveeventhat.____18____Watershortagescanmeanlongwalkstogetwater,highpricestobuyit,foodinsecurityanddiseasesfromdrinkingdirtywater.Governmentsthattrytoimprovewatersuppliesneedtothinkcarefullyabouthowtodothis.Damsandotherlargeprojectsnowaffected60percentofworld’slargestriversandprovidemillionswithwater.____19________20____Newtechnologycanhelp,especiallybycleaningupthepollutionandsomakingmorewaterusableandinagriculture,wherewaterusecanbemadefarmoreefficient.Formillionsofpeoplearoundtheworld,solvingtheproblemisamatteroflifeanddeath.A.Sowhatcanhelp?B.It’sjustnotspreadevenlythroughouttheworld.C.Unfortunately,it’spoorpeoplewhosuffermost.D.By2025,scientistsexpectthistoincreasetotwothirdsE.Therestalongmajorriversintheworldhavenoworryaboutwater.F.Butinmanycases,homesandtheenvironmentaredestroyedasasideeffect.G.Meanwhile,electricityfromthesedamscanprovidepeoplewithcleanenergy.【答案】16.D17.B18.C19.F20.A【解析】【导语】本文是说明文。人口增长导致用水量增加，再加上水资源分布不均，造成一些地区干旱情况严重。文中介绍了水资源缺乏导致的问题和为之采取的一些解决措施。【16题详解】由上文“Athirdoftheworld’spopulationlivesincountriesthathavetoolittlewater.(世界三分之一的人口生活在缺水的国家)”可推知，下文会继续描述几十年之后缺水情况可能更加严重。D项：By2025,scientistsexpectthistoincreasetotwothirds(到2025年，科学家预计这一数字将增加到三分之二)中increasetotwothirds与上文中Athirdoftheworld’spopulation相呼应，且符合语境，故选D项。【17题详解】由上文“It’sstrangetothinkthatthereismorethanenoughwateravailableforeveryone’sbasicneeds.(认为每个人的基本需求都有足够的水的想法是奇怪的)”以及下文“Somecountriesaremuchdrierthanothers,forexampleSudaninAfrica.(有些国家比其他国家干旱得多，例如非洲的苏丹)”可推知，设空处可能讲述水源的分布问题。B项：It’sjustnotspreadevenlythroughouttheworld.(它并没有在世界范围内平均分布)中justnotspreadevenlythroughouttheworld与下文Somecountriesaremuchdrierthanothers相对应，符合语境，故选B项。【18题详解】由上文“Watershortagescanmeanlongwalkstogetwater,highpricestobuyit,foodinsecurityanddiseasefromdrinkingdirtywater.(缺水可能意味着要走很长一段路才能得到水，高昂的价格来购买水，粮食不安全和喝脏水导致疾病)”可知，C项：Unfortunately,it’spoorpeoplewhosuffermost.(不幸的是，最受苦的是穷人)符合语境，缺水的地方很穷，但那里的人却需要花更多的时间和金钱在水上，这样穷人最受害。故选C项。【19题详解】根据上句“Damsandotherlargeprojectsnowaffected60percentofworld’slargestriversandprovidemillionswithwater.(水坝和其他大型工程现在影响了世界上60%的大河，为数百万人提供了水)”可知，水坝和其他大型工程目前影响着世界上60%的大河，并为数百万人提供水源，说明了水坝和其他大型工程做出的积极作用。F项：Butinmanycases,homesandtheenvironmentaredestroyedasasideeffect.(但在许多情况下，房屋和环境被破坏)与上句转折，说明了水坝和其他大型工程的消极作用。故选F项。【20题详解】由下文“Newtechnologycanhelp,especiallybycleaninguppollutionandsomakingmorewaterusable,andinagriculture,wherewaterusecanbemadefarmoreefficient.(新技术可以提供帮助，特别是可以通过清除污染并提高水的利用率来解决问题，在农业中可以大大提高用水效率)”结合上文谈到的诸多问题，可推知设空出应提问：有什么解决的办法呢？A项：Sowhatcanhelp?(有什么可以帮助的呢？)中what与下文中的newtechnology相照应，故选A项。第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Severalyearsago,AdamKayewashostingafamilybarbecueathishomewhenhismother,MartiKaye,brokethenews.At71yearsold,sherealizedthatshewasgetting____21____,withfriends’namesslippinghermind.Later,shewasdiagnosedwithAlzheimer’s.Watchinghismothersuffer,Adamwas____22____.Asalifelongmusician,healwaysenjoyedplayingforher
