D.Partial.【答案】8.D9.C10.A11.D【解析】【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了对巴基斯坦最大城市卡拉奇红树林的保护措施。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“ThetreescouldsavePakistan’slargestcityKarachi,sittingontheArabianSea,fromnaturaldisaster.(这些树木可以使位于阿拉伯海的巴基斯坦最大城市卡拉奇免遭自然灾害。)”可知，它们保护城市免受气候灾难。故选D。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“Offshore,thereareislandswheremangrovesgrow.Theycouldbethekeytoslowingclimatechange.Mangroveforestspullcarbondioxideoutoftheair,holdingfourtimesasmuchoftheplanet-warminggasasotherforestscan.Theysupportdiverseecosystems.Assealevelsrisewithglobalwarming,thetreescouldplayabigroleinprotectingcoastalcitieslikeKarachifromflooding.(在近海，有红树林生长的岛屿。它们可能是减缓气候变化的关键。红树林从空气中吸收二氧化碳，其吸收的温室气体是其他森林的四倍。它们支持不同的生态系统。随着全球变暖导致海平面上升，这些树木可以在保护卡拉奇等沿海城市免受洪水侵袭方面发挥重要作用。)”由此判断，红树林科院减缓气候变化，且能吸收很多的二氧化碳，在很多方面保护着城市，故保护红树林是因为它们与自然的紧密联系。故选C。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“Cityofficialssaythiscouldprovidemuch-neededhousingandbringinbillionsofdollars.TheyclaimthatsomeofthatmoneycouldbeusedtoplantmangrovesinotherpartsofPakistan.(市政府官员表示，这可以提供急需的住房，并带来数十亿美元的收入。他们声称，其中一些钱可以用来在巴基斯坦其他地区种植红树林。)”可知，政府官员会在其他的地方种植红树林。故选A。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段““Only7%ofPakistan’smangrovesareinKarachi,”Haqsays.Hethinksit’swrongtofocusonthelossesin7%ofthecountrywhileignoringthesuccessin93%ofit.ButQaiserbelievesit’simportanttoprotecteverybit.(Haq说：“巴基斯坦只有7%的红树林在卡拉奇。”他认为关注全国7%的损失而忽视93％的成功是错误的。但是Qaiser认为保护每一处都很重要。)”可知，Haq认为不能只关注到失败的而不关注成功的方面，但Qaiser认为就算是再小的区域都要兼顾到，因此Haq认为Qaiser对于卡拉奇红树林工作成果的想法的认识是片面的，不全面的。故选D。DIt’swell-knownthathumorcanbenefitusbothphysicallyandmentally.Theideathatlaughteristhebestmedicinehasbeenaroundsinceancienttimes.Inhis1905book,JokesandTheirRelationtotheUnconscious,SigmundFreudarguedthathumoristhehighestofthepsyche’sdefensemechanism(机制),capableofturninganxietyintopleasure.Therearefourhumorstyles.Affiliativehumorreferstojokesaboutthingsthatmightbecommonlyconsideredfunny,whichisusuallyemployedtoimproverelationshipsormakeotherslaugh.Ifyou’veeversharedafunnypicturewithacoworker,you’veusedaffiliativehumor.Self-enhancinghumorinvolvesbeingabletolaughatyourself,oftenusedasawayforyoutodealwithstressordifficultiesandfeelbetterasaresult.Aggressivehumorislaughingattheexpenseofothers,whichofteninvolvessarcasm(讽刺),teasing,andcriticism.Self-defeatinghumoristheartofputtingyourselfdowntogainfavorfromyourpeers,whichispossiblyusedbysomeonewho’stargetedbybullies.Eachstyleofhumoractuallycarriesadifferentinfluence,whenitcomestomentalhealth.JulieAitkenSchermer,apsychologicalresearcheratTheUniversityofWesternOntario,sayspeopleusingself-enhancinghumorarelesslikelytoshowsignsoflonelinessandpoorrelationshipswithothers.Bycontrast,bothaggressiveandself-defeatinghumorstylescanhintattrouble.“Wefindthatself-defeatinghumoristhemostconcerningstyleasitisalsolinkedwithlonelinessandfeelingsofnotmattering.Thosewithanaggressivehumorstylemaynotexperiencelonelinessasmuch,however,sincetheyrelyongroupdynamics(群体动力)inordertomakefunoftheirpeers,”saysSchermer.Evenifyoutendtofavormorenegativehumorstyles,there’snoreasontoloseheart.Schermersayspeoplecandevelopapositive,self-enhancinghumorstylebyconcentratingonthelighterandmorehumorousaspectsoflife.AsauthorKurtVonnegutoncewrote,“Laughterandtearsarebothresponsestoworriesandanxieties.Iprefertolaugh,sincethereislesscleaninguptodoafterward.”12.WhyisSigmundFreud’sbookmentionedinParagraph1?A.Toshowtheimportanceofmentalhealth.

D.Laughteristhebestcureforstress.【答案】12.B13.B14.A15.D【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过一本书——JokesandTheirRelationtotheUnconscious，介绍了四种不同的幽默类型。【12题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“It’swell-knownthathumorcanbenefitusbothphysicallyandmentally.Theideathatlaughteristhebestmedicinehasbeenaroundsinceancienttimes.Inhis1905book,JokesandTheirRelationtotheUnconscious,SigmundFreudarguedthathumoristhehighestofthepsyche’sdefensemechanism(机制),capableofturninganxietyintopleasure.(众所周知，幽默对我们的身心都有好处。笑是最好的良药这一观点自古以来就存在。西格蒙德·弗洛伊德在他1905年出版的《笑话及其与无意识的关系》一书中认为，幽默是心灵的最高防御机制，能够将焦虑转化为快乐)”可知，第一段提到这本书是为了强调幽默的作用。故选B。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“Self-enhancinghumorinvolvesbeingabletolaughatyourself,oftenusedasawayforyoutodealwithstressordifficultiesandfeelbetterasaresult.(自我提升的幽默包括能够自嘲，通常是你处理压力或困难的一种方式，结果感觉更好)”可知，用于缓解压力的是自我提升式幽默，故选B。【14题详解】词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“JulieAitkenSchermer,apsychologicalresearcheratTheUniversityofWesternOntario,sayspeopleusingself-enhancinghumorarelesslikelytoshowsignsoflonelinessandpoorrelationshipswithothers.(西安大略大学的心理学研究员JulieAitkenSchermer说，使用自我提升式幽默的人不太可能表现出孤独和与他人关系不佳的迹象)”以及“Bycontrast,bothaggressiveandself-defeatinghumorstyles”可知，使用自我提升式幽默的人不太可能表现出孤独和与他人关系不好的迹象。相比之下，攻击性和自我挫败的幽默风格都可能暗示出麻烦，故划线词意思是“暗示”。故选A。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“Laughterandtearsarebothresponsestoworriesandanxieties.Iprefertolaugh,sincethereislesscleaninguptodoafterward.(笑和哭都是对担心和焦虑的反应。我更喜欢笑，因为笑完之后要做的清理工作少了)”可知，KurtVonnegut更喜欢笑，可得出他可能同意“笑是治疗压力的最好方法”这一观点。故选D。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。Humanitiesdepartments(人文院系)inAmericaareonceagainbeingcutdown.Earlierthismonth,theStateUniversityofNewYork(SUNY)StonyBrookannouncedaplantoabandonseveralofthecollege’swell-knowndepartmentsforlackoffund.TheUniversityofPittsburghhascutitsGermanandclassics.____16____IntheUK,MiddlesexUniversitydecidedtograduallygetridofphilosophydepartment.InJune2015,theJapaneseministerofeducationsentalettertothepresidentsofthenationaluniversitiesofJapan,suggestingtheyclosetheirgraduateandundergraduatedepartmentsinthehumanitiesandsocialsciencesandfocusonsomethingmorepractical.Thesearehardtimes.InsteadofShakespeareorFrench,therewillbe(perhapstherealreadyare)collegeclassesinhowtocutcorporatespending.____17____Buttheonlyopportunityhasbeenlostiftheyaredeniedtheopportunitytostudyforeignlanguages,theclassics,literature,philosophy,music,theaterandartintheuniversity.Whenelseintheirbusyliveswilltheygetthatchance?___18___.Essaysexplainwhyweneedthesesubjects,andwhattheirlosswillmean.Theseareasoflearningprovideuswiththeabilitytothinkcriticallyandindependently;toseebothsidesofanissue;tolookbeneaththesurfaceofwhatwearebeingtold;toappreciatethewaysinwhichlanguagecanhelpusunderstandoneanothermoreclearly.Idon’tbelievethatthehumanitiescanmakeyouadecentperson.___19___.Studyingphilosophyteachesusaboutthosewhohavegonebeforeus.Aforeignlanguagebringsusclosertothosewithwhomwesharetheplanet.Thehumanitiestouchthoseaspectsofawarenessthatwecallintellectandheart.____20____A.ThesesubjectsareunderattackB.StudentsneedpracticalskillstofindjobsC.DefensesofthehumanitieshaveappearedD.ThisproblemhasalsoariseninternationallyE.Therefore,coursesinthehumanitiesarebeneficialF.IthelpsuslearnhowtothinkandliveinaharmonioussocietyG.Buttheycanexpandoursenseofwhathumanscanaccomplishandcreate【答案】16.D17.B18.C19.G20.E【解析】【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要说明了因为经费不足，美国的部分大学正准备削减人文学科，且这个问题在国际上也出现了。【16题详解】根据上文“Earlierthismonth,theStateUniversityofNewYork(SUNY)StonyBrookannouncedaplantoabandonseveralofthecollege’swell-knowndepartmentsforlackoffund.TheUniversityofPittsburghhascutitsGermanandclassics.(本月早些时候，纽约州立大学石溪分校(SUNY)宣布了一项计划，由于缺乏资金，该校将放弃几个知名院系。匹兹堡大学削减了德语和古典文学课程)”；下文“IntheUK,MiddlesexUniversitydecidedtograduallygetridofphilosophydepartment.(在英国，米德尔塞克斯大学决定逐步取消哲学系)”以及“InJune2015,theJapaneseministerofeducationsentalettertothepresidentsofthenationaluniversitiesofJapan,suggestingtheyclosetheirgraduateandundergraduatedepartmentsinthehumanitiesandsocialsciencesandfocusonsomethingmorepractical.(2015年6月，日本文部科学大臣致信日本国立大学校长，建议他们关闭人文社会科学的研究生和本科院系，专注于更实用的学科)”可知，后文提到了英国和日本都有关闭哲学和人文社会科学的举措，说明这个问题在国际上也出现了。故D选项“这个问题在国际上也出现了”承上启下，符合语境。故选D。【17题详解】根据上文“InsteadofShakespeareorFrench,therewillbe(perhapstherealreadyare)collegeclassesinhowtocutcorporatespending.(大学将开设（或许已经开设）如何削减企业开支的课程，而不是莎士比亚或法语)”可知，上文提到了将开设如何削减企业开支的课程，说明更加注重实用技能了。故B项“学生需要实用技能来找工作”符合语境。故选B。【18题详解】根据下文“Essaysexplainwhyweneedthesesubjects,andwhattheirlosswillmean.Theseareasoflearningprovideuswiththeabilitytothinkcriticallyandindependently;toseebothsidesofanissue;tolookbeneaththesurfaceofwhatwearebeingtold;toappreciatethewaysinwhichlanguagecanhelpusunderstandoneanothermoreclearly.(文章解释了我们为什么需要这些学科，以及它们的消失意味着什么。这些领域的学习为我们提供了批判性和独立思考的能力；看到一个问题的正反两面;透过我们被告知的事情的表面看下去；欣赏语言帮助我们更清楚地相互理解的方式)”可知，本段的主旨是反对取消人文学科。C项“对人文学科的辩护出现了”引出下文，符合语境。故选C。【19题详解】根据上文“Idon’tbelievethatthehumanitiescanmakeyouadecentperson.(我不认为人文学科可以让你成为一个体面的人)”以及后文“Studyingphilosophyteachesusaboutthosewhohavegonebeforeus.(学习哲学能让我们了解前人)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，进一步说明作者对于人文学科的看法，故G项“但它们可以扩展我们对人类所能完成和创造的东西的认识”承上启下，符合语境。故选G。【20题详解】根据上文“Studyingphilosophyteach-esusaboutthosewhohavegonebeforeus.Aforeignlanguagebringsusclosertothosewithwhomwesharetheplanet.Thehumanitiescantouchthoseaspectsofawarenessthatwecallintellectandheart.(学习哲学可以让我们了解前人；学习外语使我们更接近与我们共同生活在同一星球上的人；学习人文学科可以触及我们称之为智力和心灵的意识领域。)”可知，本句与上文构成因果关系，总结学习人文学科是有益的。故E项“因此，人文学科的课程是有益的”符合语境。故选E。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。AttheschoolArtFestival,Iwasaskedtodesignthecostumesforthreeschoolplays.Everyonewas____21____toseetheactorswearmycostumesonstage.ThisexperiencehasmademerealizethatIamreallygoodat___22___andhaveatalentforfashiondesign,whichhasinspiredmeto____23____fashiondesignasmyjob.Thatway,Ican___24___workwithmyinterestsandstrengths.Tofindouthowto___25___thefieldoffashiondesign,Ididsome___26___aboutwhatkindofeducationandskillsImightneed.I____27____thatmanypremierfashiondesignersstudiedatfashiondesigninstitutesinLondon,ParisorMilan.Ialsokeepa(n)____28____onjobadsforthefashionindustrytoseewhatabilitiesor___29___designersshouldhave.Aftermuchthought,Idecidedto____30____theseskillsandgettherightqualificationsbystudyingartatuniversity.WhileIamthere,Iwouldliketoworkpart-timeforafashiondesigncompanyinorderto____31____fromotherdesigners.Actually,Idon’thavetowaituntilIgotouniversitytoswinginto____32____astherewillbeaworkshopinmycitynextmonthwhichIamhopingto____33____Aftergraduation,Iwill___34___ajobasafashiondesigner.Oneday,Ihopetostartmyown____35____company.21.A.determined
