解析：题目要求考生围绕社交网站对学生产生的影响进行论述。根据题目

要求，文章的结构可安排如下：

第一段：准确且简要地描述漫画内容并开门见山指出社交网站会导致学生

缺乏“口头分享二

第二段：从当下人们都习惯在虚拟的社交网络分享生活这一普遍的现象切

入中心论点，分析这种速食式分享无法真正使人们加深情感，并指出只有通过亲

近的沟通和交流才能使亲友领会当时的微妙与激动。

第三段：重申这种现象的普遍性，接着点题，指出如若沉迷网络分享，我

们与亲友的沟通能力将会下降。

［参考译文］

如图所示，当学生暑假返校的时候，他们会被要求分享暑假做过的事，因

为并不是所有的亲朋好友都在推特、脸书这些社交网站上加了他们好友。从图片

中我们可以看出这些网站对学生的不良影响，即会使学生缺乏“口头上的分享”。

如今，学生们更喜欢通过虚拟空间来分享他们所经历的事情，而不是和亲

密好友或父母聊天分享。隐晦的图片和文字记录了他们所有的悲欢。似乎写评论

或点赞就是我们对他们展现关心与爱意的唯一方式。但是，对这些图片和文字的

匆匆一瞥是很难理解当事人的兴奋或微妙的心情的，这应该在亲近的交谈中细细

叙说才体会得到。

现在手机已经成为人们了解彼此，和天各一方的亲朋好友分享每天发生的

事情的主要媒介。但是沉溺于虚拟空间分享只会折损我们和真正所爱之人巩固亲

密关系的能力。

①所有选项都在描述He出现了什么状况，故可基本推测出问题。②女士在

对话一开始就开门见山地说：“Don让我给您打电话是因为他失声了，无法亲自

和您说话”。C为该处对话内容的同义表达，故为本题答案。

A、B分别利用录音原词officekey和exams进行干扰。D没有依据。

HowdidthewomanlearnaboutthescorpionsinCanada?

①选项均以From开头，因此推断题目问来源。②女士在对话一开始就开门

见山地说：“你应该看一下这篇关于加拿大蝎子的文章」故C正确。

虽然所有选项都没有在对话中出现，不过根据对话中女士说的关键词

article“文章”，答案应与文字资料相关。注意B中的documentary表示“记录片”，

而非document“文献”，不属于article的范畴。

短文提到，50年前交换生还是比较受欢迎的，因为不少妇女当时待在家中，

不外出工作，故A为答案。

①比较级在短文听力中经常被设为考点，必须留意。②B“那时的人们更

友善”、C“那时学生的伙食费自付”和D“那时鼓励移民”录音中均未提及，故

都可以排除。

短文提到，哥伦布到达百慕大魔鬼三角区时，一个一两百英尺高的浪头将他

的船冲出了一英里远，故B为答案。

watercurrent、greatnoise和roughstorms均未在短文中出现。在谈到哥

对答案，因为短文听力经常是“听到什么选什么

①从选项看，本题可能跟一项跑步运动相关。②录音开头，主持人提到超级

马拉松要比典型的26英里马校松还长125英里，B"超级马拉松在距离上比典型

马拉松更长”，与此符合，故为答案。

录音中明确提出超级马拉松要比典型的26英里马拉松还长125英里，A

认为它就是经典的26英里马拉松，故排除。超级马拉松确实辛苦，但是录音并

没提到要在冬天结冰的道路上跑，故C排除。D说ScottJurek开创了这项运动.录

音只是说他称霸了该项运动比赛，是记录的保持者,并没有提及该运动的创始者,

Whathappenedtothespeaker?

①根据选项中的causedafireonaplane、flightwashijackedaccident等关键

词，推测此题可能跟某人的不幸遭遇有关，且很可能是发生在空中。②录音开头

演讲者让听众设想在3000英尺的高空飞机发生爆炸，飞机里充满了烟，飞机引

擎发出喀、喀、喀的异响等，然后说到这是他经历过的，故C”他在3000英尺

高的地方经历过一起事故”正确。

录音开头提到飞机里充满的烟，这是飞机发生爆炸造成的，并非演讲者抽

烟造成的，故A错误。录音开头演讲者描述的是飞机发生爆炸，发动机发出异响

等飞机失事的征兆，并非是恐怖分子劫机，故B错误。演讲者提到自己害怕是由

于飞机发生爆炸，并非他恐高，故排除D。

录音开头，男士提到他这周一直听到关于第三方组织或个人利用公园场地组

织活动的辩论，故选B“第三方使用公园”。

录音中并未提及公园收门票的事，故排除A“公园的门票费用”。录音中

提到虽然公园维护成本并不便宜，但是theFabianSociety（费边社）警告说官方机

构对于公园养护的投入可能会削减。这是一条未正式发布的消息，并非辩论的议

题，故排除C“公园的养护成本D只是利用录音中的well-behaveddogs编造

的干扰项，录音说到对居住在城市的人们来说，公园通常是他们约会碰头、孩子

玩耍以及乖巧狗狗聚集玩乐的主要场所，并未提及人们在公园遛狗时是否应该管

好自己的狗，故排除D。

M.apparentN.distracting0.medium（分数：35.50）

1.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：0）

解析：此处需要填入名词，被pre-electronic修饰，作became的表语，补

充说明强调句（itwas...that…）中的真实主语newspaper。空格后提及的pamphlet

“小册子”、book“书籍”、periodical“杂志”属于同一类事物,空格处填入的词

须概括它们的共同特点，medium"媒介”符合要求。

［参考译文］

人们对20世纪电视的发展和15、16世纪印刷术的传播作了各种比较。但

是在这两个时间段之间发生了很多事情。就像以前讨论过的那样，直到19世纪，

报纸才继小册子和书籍之后，与杂志一同成为电子时代之前的主要传媒。就在同

一时间，通讯革命迅猛发展，它始于运输、铁路，进而发展到电报、电话、收音

机和电影，最后进入到20世纪以汽车与飞机发展为标志的阶段。不是所有人都

能正确地认识这个发展过程，但这一点却很重要。

然而，大家普遍承认，20世纪初计算机的出现一一跟随其后的是20世纪

60年代集成电路的出现一一从根本上改变了这一过程，尽管电脑对于媒介的影

响当时并没有立刻显现出来。随着时光流逝，电脑变得更小，功能更强大，它们

在供机构使用的同时，也“供个人使用”。电脑的显示器更清晰，而存储容量更

大。它们像人一样被用“代”来划分，而代与代之间的时间距离却短得多。

就是在计算机时代，“信息社会”这个词开始被广泛用以描述我们现在的

生活环境。通讯革命影响了我们的工作和休闲方式，也影响到我们思考和感受时

空的方式。但是人们对于它的经济、政治、社会和文化上的意义仍然存在不同看

法。人们把“利”与“害”进行权衡比较，却很难做出笼统的概括性结论。

2.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：A）

解析；这里缺少谓语动词，且与up构成短语。空格后提到的运输、铁路，

到电报、电话、收音机、电影，再到汽车、飞机，这是一个发展变化的过程，表

明通讯革命（communicationsrevolution）迅猛发展，只有speedup“加快速度”能

体现这一语义。pickedup”捡起；接送”不符合语义。

3.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：C）

解析：此处需要动词，根据空格前and的提示，该动词与前面的beginning

并列，为・ing形式。leading放入句中与可与on连用，表示“继续发展”，此处句

子意为“进而发展到电报、电话、收音机和电影”，符合语义。distracting”使分

心”，是及物动词，不与。n连用。

4.（分数：3.55）

填空项上（正确答窠：K）

解析：填入的内容可以与in搭配，推测为名词的可能性大。难点在于

perspective的熟词生义：该词在此处不表示“观点，看法”，而是表示“合理判

断，正确认识"，inperspective意为“正确地，合理地”。此史意为“不是所有人

都能正确地认识这个进程”。

5.（分数：3.55）

填空项1:（正确答案：H）

解析：空格所在的句子很长，that从句的主语是introduction,谓语动词为

changed,句子不缺少主要成分，缺少的是修饰changed的副词。radically意为“根

本地”，这里指“计算机的出现从根本上改变了这一进程"。presumably“大概”

表猜测，根据句首的generallyrecognized“普遍承认”可知该词不符合语义。

6.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：M）

解析：根据空格前的系动词was和副词immediately可知这里填入形容词

或分词。联系上下文，计算机的出现从根本上改变了通信革命的进程，但它对于

媒介的影响当时并没有立刻……。apparent”显而易见的”代入其中，文意通顺，

且与上文的radicallychanged形成呼应。

7.（分数:3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：G）

解析：此处需要名词，与storage连用。文中要表达的是计算机的储存容量，

能与storage连用表示这一概念的只有capacity”容量二

8.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：E）

解析：空格处填入动词作谓语，表示主语revolution如何作用于宾语。上

文主要讲述了计算机作为媒介所带来的变化;这里则延伸到了通讯革命。有变革，

就必然带来影响，下文的economic、political、socialandculturalimplication

证了此处讲的是一种影响，改选influenced"影响”。

9.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：I）

解析：空格处需填入名词、分词或形容词修饰views。转折词but表明此处

应为否定或负面的看法；后文两个加引号的词benefits和harmful进一步印证了

这种看法应该是褒贬不一的，故选controversial"有争议的"，表示通信革命对经

济、政治、社会文化的意义存在争议。

10.（分数；3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：L）

解析：此处需要填入名词，与harmful构成名词词组对应前面提到的名词

Benefits“益处二注意此处benefit为复数，词库中只有outcomes为复数形式，

与harmful搭配表示“害处”。
