1、Wccanlearnfromthepassagethatthemostoftoday'sgame-playersare.

A、teenagersplayingbyhimself

B、verykeenabout"AngryBird',

C>female

D、middle-agedpeople

标准答案：D

知识点解析：细节题。本题考查的是当今玩家的成分，可以定位到第一段中的

Todayagamerisaslikelytobeamiddle-agedcommuterplaying“AngryBirds^on

hersmartphone.InAmerica,thebiggestmarket,theaveragegame-playeris37years

old.Two-fifthsarefemale从这里可以看出，现在的玩家大多是成年人，其中王分

之二是女性。因此，D项符合文意。A项讲的是青少年是之前的情况，B项讲的不

准确。文中只是提到这个游戏，没有说所有玩家都热衷。C项也不正确，女性只占

五分之二，不到半数。因此，正确答案是D。

2、Howdoestechnologypromotethedevelopmentofvideogames?

A、Itallowedgamedesignerstoofferawesomeexperiences.

B、Ithelpstoproducemorecomplexgames.

C、Itmakescharactersingamesmorepowerful.

D^Makingscenesinthegameslooklikethereallife.

标准答案：A」

知识点解析：细节题。取据题于中的videogames可以定位到第四段，从文中

Meanwhilerapidimprovementsincomputingpowerhaveallowedgamedesigners

toofferexperiencesthatarenowoftenmorecinematicthanthecinema.从中可以看出

科技使游戏设计者可以制造出超越电影院的体验。A项中的awesomeexperiences

是对原文中的同义转述，符合原文。B、C在原文没有直接提及。D是画面逼真，

这是完美体验的一部分。因此，正确答案是A。

3、Howdo"freemium"modelswork?

A、Itreliesonalargeaudiencetomakeprofits.

B、Peoplecanplaygamesonlinewithoutpayment.

C、Itreliesonnon-payingcustomerstobuildanaudienceandgainprofitsfroma

fanaticalfew.

D^Itchargesverylittlemoneyfromitshugeaudience.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：细节题。艰据题干中的“freemium”models可以定位到文中的Inan

erawhenpeoplearedisinclinedtopayforcontentontheweb,gamespublisherswere

quicktodevelopUfrccmium,,rnodcls,whereyourelyonnon-payingcustomerstobuild

anaudienceandthenextractcashonlyfromafanaticalfew©由此可知这个模式主要是

通过免费玩来创造巨大的玩家群体，而只从少数狂热玩家身上获取利润。C项的内

容与此相对应。A、B项只是这个模式的一部分，不全面。D项讲的不是原文的意

思。因此，正确答案是C。

4、HowdofirmsmakemoneyinChina?

A、Chargingplayersforgamesplayedonline.

B、Gainingmoneyfromadvertisements.

C、Sellingin-gameperksand"virtualgoods".

D、Sellingvideogames.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：细节题。本题考查的是中国的游戏公司如何赚钱。可以定位到文中的

Firmsinsteadmakemoneybysellingin-gameperksand44virtualgoods%。

dedicatedplayers,由此前见中国的公司主要通过卖游戏中的装备和虚拟物品来赚

钱。C项的内容与此相符。A、B、D项的内容在文中都没有直接提及。因此，正

确答案是C。

5、Whichofthefollowingtitlessuitsthepassagebest9

A、PopularityofVideoGames

R、Games—ARigIndustry

C、WhoPlayGamesToday?

D、GamesandTeenagers

标准答案：B-

知识点解析：主旨题。本题要我们选最恰当的标题，就是选文章的主题。木文主要

讲了游戏产业的现状，其发展的两大动力，以及它在营销方面的出色之处等内容。

显而易见，本文主要讲的是游戏产业，B项符合。A、C、D项都是文章中的很小

的一方面。因此，正确答案是B。

6、WccanlearnfromthepassagethattheAmbassador.

A、isabigcarwithasleekstyle.

B、isthefirstcartobemadeinIndia.

C>isacaronlyrichpeoplecanbuy.

D、stilldominatetheIndianmarket.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：细节题.木题考查的是对于这个汽车的了解。A项讲这个车有流线型

的风格，从文中Moderncarsintheirquestforsleekerstyling可知这是现代汽车的特

点，这里张冠李戴了。C项讲它只是富人的车。从文市Itwasataxiformanyanda

familycar「ortherich可知它也可以作为出租车，被一般人乘坐。D项讲它仍然主导

市场显然不对，因为文章一开始就指出ProductionoftheAmbassador,thefirstcar

tobemadeinIndia,hasbeenhaltedbecauseoffallingdemand,即因为需求小它停产

了。因此，正确答案是B。

7、WhytheauthorsaytheerarepresentedbyAmbassadorbestbeforgotten?

A、Becauseitisatimeofsocialdisorder.

B>Becauseitisatimeofextremepoverty.

C、Becauseitisatimeofcontrolledeconomyanditsstiflingregulations.

D、Becauseitisatimeofcivilwars.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：细节题。艰据题干中的iheerarepresentedbyAmbassador可以定位到

文中的Therecanbenodoubt,theAmbassador'sdeparturemarkstheendofan

era.However,forme»it^anerabestforgotten.TheAmbassadorwasasymbolof

allthatwaswrongwithIndia'scontrolledeconomyanditsstiflingregulations,从这里

可以看出它代表的是计划经济和死板的管理的时代，所以最好被遗忘。C项的内容

与此相符。其它的选项在文中都没有提及。因此，正确答案是C。

8、Whatdoesthejokeinfifthparagraphshow?

A、TheAmbassadorisofverybadquality.

B、TheIndianpeopleareveryhumorous.

C、TheIndianpeopleareverypositive.

D^Theroadsatthattimewereverybad.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：推断题。题干中的明确指出是第五段中的笑话，可以直接定位到文中

Buyersweresaddledwithcarsofverybadquality,whichconstantlybrokedownand

yetthewaitinglisttobuyonecouldstretchuptoeightyears!Andtherewere

Ambassadoijokcsaplenty,myfavouriteonebeing："Theonlythingthatdoesn'tmakea

soundinanAmbassadoristhehorn!”,从这里可以看出后面的笑话是为了说明前文汽

车质量差的观点。因此，正确答案是A。

9、WhichofthefollowingisnottrueaboutthefirstbigchangeaboutTheAmbassador?

A、Itwasmainlyduetoemissionregulations.

B、Itwasanall-newengine.

C、Itwasanewbrakes.

D、Itneededthelengthofanairportrunwaytostopit.

标准答案：c-

知识点解析：细节题。艰据题干中的thefirstbigchange可以定位到文中的Thefirst

bigchange,possiblypromptedbyemissionregulations,wasanall—new

engine.WhenItestedtheAmbassadorforanautomobilemagazineinthemid-1990s,it

wasihefastest—acceleratingcarinIndia*outpacingthemoremodemFiatsandMaruti-

Suzukisofthatage.Thatitneededthelengthofanairportrunwaytostopitwasanother

matter.Thcmakcrhadbarelyupgradedthebrakes,由此可知这个变化是由于排气规

定促成的.变化的是换了一个全新的引擎。但是却要飞机跑道那么远的距离才能停

下来，因为没有更新刹车。所以A、B、D项是正确的，C讲是一个全新的刹车与

事实相悖。因此.正确答案是C。

10>What'sthethemainideaofthepassage?

ThequalityoftheAmbassador.

B、ThehistoryabouttheAmbassador.

C、ThenostalgicfeelingtowardstheAmbassador.

D^ThedepartureoftheAmbassador.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：主旨题。本文一开篇就指出了印度的老牌汽车“大使”汽车由于销量不

佳而停产。接着介绍了这种汽车与现代汽车的对比，并指出它的退隐象征着一个时

代的结束，简要介绍它的质量和历史，最后再次说明现代车辆已经彻底取代了这种

古老的车。所以主要讲的是这个汽车退出了历史舞台。D项符合，A、B、C都只

是文章中的次要部分。因此，正确答案是D。

道，可以定位到第二段中的High-proteindietschecktheurgetoeatmorefatty

foods.和Giventhecoirplexwayourappetiteswork,eatingtoolittleproteinincreases

theriskthatpeoplewilleatmorefattyfoods,由此可知原因是人们吃这类食物会抑制

吃更多高脂肪食物的冲动。这与C项的内容符合。其它选项文中没有提及。因

此，正确答案是C。

12、Whyobesityraleshavesoaredoverthepast60yearsaccordingtothepassage?

C、Peopleeatmuchmorefood.

D、Peopleeattoomuchprocessedjunkfood.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：细节题。取据题干中的obesityrateshavesoaredoverthepast60years

可以定位至U文中的Researcherssayitisnocoincidencethatobesityrateshavesoared

overthepast60yearswithBritainnowinthegripofanepidemicatatimewhenweeat

lessprotein,由此可知主要原因是人们吃的蛋白质更少了。B项符合文意。其它的

选项文章没有直接提及。因此，正确答案是B。

13、Whyshouldweavoidprocessedfoods?

A、Theycontainsmanyharmfulingredients.

B、Ourbodiesandappetitesarenotadaptedtoprocessedfood.

C>Theyhaveverylittleprotein.

D、Theycontaintoomuchfat.

D、Itiseasytobedigested.

标准答案：D-

知识点解析：细节题。本题考查的是蛋白质的益处，在文章一开始就指出食用富含

它的饮食可以减肥,所以B项是对的。从文中Proteinisessentialforgrowthand

repairofthebody,maintaininggoodhealthandprovidingenergy可以看出它有助于生长

和机体修复，还能提供能量，所以A、C项是它的优点。D讲它有助于消化，文中

没有提及。因此，正确答案是D。

15>What'sspecialaboutproteinrichfoodcomparedwithfoodsrichincarbohydratesor

16、WecanknowfromdiepassagethatNoraAl-Daher.

A、isapolitician

B、isveryrichwifeofabusinessman

C、isamulti-millionairess

D、isadrugaddict

标准答案：C

知识点解析：细节题。本题考查的是对于萝拉・阿黛尔的了解，A项内容与文中

TheOmanipolitician'swifetoldtheHighCourt相悖,她自己不是政治家,她丈夫

是。B项讲她是有钱商人的妻子也不对，她是政治家的妻子。D项与文中MrsAl-

Daherhadmadcitclearwhenshearrivedthatshewas"agamblingaddict”相悖,她是赌

瘾不是毒瘾。C项的内容与文中Multi-millionairessNoraAl-Daher,50的内容相

符，她是一个身价数百万的富婆。因此，正确答案是C。

17、WhydoesNoraAl-DahersueTheRitzinLondon?

A、Becausethehotelowesheralotofmoney.

B、Becauseitknewshewasagamblingaddictandstillencouragedhertoplay.

C、Becauseshehaslostalotofmoneythere.

D^Becausethestafftherethereinsultedher.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：细节题。本题考查的是萝拉起诉伦敦利兹酒店的原因.文章一开头就

说明了原因AhugelywealthywifeissuingTheRitzinLondonaftershelost£2million

inasingleeveningatitscasino»sayingitknewshewasagamblingaddictandshould

havestoppedher和Sheclaimsthatclubstaff,whoshesaysknewofher

是他们知道她有赌瘾却还鼓励她赌。B项的内容与此一致，其它选项文章没有提

到。因此。正确答案是B。

18、WhichofthefollowingcannotbeinferredfromRobertDeacon'swords?

A、TheRitzshouldreturnhermoney.

B、Thestaffisresponsibleforherhugeloss.

C^Thestafftookadvantageofheraddiction.

D^Shewas"agamblingaddict".

标准答案：D

知识点解析：推断题。艰据题干中的RobertDeacon可以定位到文中的Her

lawyer,RobertDeacon,(oldJudgeAnthonySeysLlewellynthatMrsAl-Daherhad

madeitclearwhensheanivedthatshewas“agamblingaddict”,hadmadesubstantial

behaviorsorwhatshetoldthem,"hesaid...TheRitzHotelandCasinoLtdfailedtotake

anyreasonablemeasurestopreventorlightentheconsequencesorworseningofself-

inflictedharmbytheassumptionofcontroloverher.呱这里可以推断出他认为利兹

酒店的员工对她的损失负有责任，因为员工利用了她的赌瘾，因此，酒店应该把钱

还给她。所以A、B、C项的内容都可以推导出，D项讲她有赌瘾是文中直接提出

来的，不是推断出的。因此，正确答案是D。

19、Whatdocstheauthormeanby"bringmetomysenses"inthirdparagraph?

A、Makingherrealizeitisfoolishtokeepgambling.

B、Tellinghertoleaveimmediately.

C、Makinghercalmdown.

D、Stoppingherwithallmeans.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：语义题。艰据题干中的bringmetomysenses可以定位到文中的

TheOmanipolitician'swifetoldtheHighCourt：Ineededsomeonethatnighttotellme

tostopplayingandbringmetomysenses.IfIhadbeentoldtostop,ofcourseIwould

stopimmcdiatcly.Nooneevertoldmetostoporthinkaboutmygambling.They

shouldhavediscouragedme,butinsteadtheytookadvantageofme.这句话的原意

是使人恢复理智，在这个语境中可知它的意思是使她意识到自己赌博的愚蠢，A项

最贴切，B、C、D偏离了原意。因此，正确答案是A。

20、Asuitabletitleforthepassagewouldbe?

A^CasinoatTheRitz

B、AStunningLossofMoney

C、TwoMillionGamblingLoss

D、LawsuitAboutGamblingLoss.

标准答案：D-

知识点解析：主旨题。本文主要讲了萝拉因为自己在利兹酒店输了两百万而把酒店

告上法庭的事，并介绍了理由。因此D项最符合。A、B、C只关注赌场和输的钱

偏离了中心。因此，正确答案是D。

B、theindustrializedsocietyismoredeveloped

C、moreeducationisprovidedandlawsagainstchild'aboraremade

D^ceremoniesforadolescencehavelosttheirformalrecognitionandsymbolic

significance

标准答案：C

知识点解析：与原始社会相比，人类进步到工业化社会以后，青春期变长了。为什

么呢?在首段中，作者提出了两个原因：第一，受教育的时间变长了；第二，法律

做出了反对使用童工的规定。这样一来，青少年踏入社会的脚步延缓了，青春期也

因而延长，C正确。

2、Formersocialceremoniesthatusedtomarkadolescencehavegivenplaceto.

A、graduationsfromschoolsandcolleges

B、socialrecognition

C、socio-economicstatus

D、certainbehavioralchanges

标准答案：A「

知识点解析：第2段第2、3句提到，成人礼在现代社会已经“进化''了，一系列毕

业典礼让青少年一步步得到社会的承认，A符合题意。本题如果没有弄清楚第2句

的逻辑结构，则容易误选B或C。第2句中replaced的逻辑主语是asequenceof

steps而不是用来修饰steps的从句中的词（increasedrecognitionandsocialstatus）.,

3、Noonecanexpecttofullyenjoytheadulthoodprivilegesuntilheis.

A^elevenyearsold

B、sixteenyearsold

C、twenty-oneyearsold

D^betweentwelveandtwenty-oneyearsold

标准答案：C

知识点解析：第2段倒数第4句说到了21岁一个人就拥有了成年人所有的合法权

利，C项符合题意。注意第二段后半部分（描述几个标志性年龄所能带来的权利变

化）的结构，它属于描述一个process（过程）的timerelationship（时间关系）结构。抓住

此结构，可以做跳跃式的阅读。

4、Startingfrom22,.

B、theolderonebecomes,themorebasicrightshewillhave

C^onewon'tgetmorebasicrightsthanwhenheis21

D、onewillenjoymorerightsgrantedbysociety
