3.—*4.G1-[_5-]

标准答案:F

知识点解析:A首句的theruling、B开头的Ontheotherhand、C首句的another

researchprojectsD开头的Thus均说明这些段落有前文,都不会是文章第一段,F

通过Airbnb和纽约州的这场法律战引出本文谈论的话题,简单扼要地介绍了此次

事件,符合文章首段用事件引题的行文特点,故确定F为正确答案。

2、

标准答案:A

知识点解析:上一段F亮到Airbnb与纽约州的法律战,A接着讲这一法律战的细

节,即Airbnb公司的立场和辩护理由,两段语义衔接;其中,A首句的theruling

指代F中纽约州长签署的法案的内容(finetenants...30days),而inoppositionto

hotels则对应了F结尾的Iheyoffend...hoteliersoB讲到人们没开始共享的原因以及

Airbnb对此的策略,与上一段法律战的主题相差较远。C首句的inanotherresearch

project说明C之前应该已提到另一项调查研究,而F并没有提到调查研究。D以

Thus开头,但F的内容无法与D形成因果关系。故最终确定本题选A。

3、

标准答案:D

知识点解析:本题在E之后。E将讨论重心从Airbnb的法律战转移到共享经济在

英国的发展上,提到一项研究探讨了个体如何看待共享经济,并在结尾处介绍了该

调查的结果。D首句的theseindividuals指代E结尾提到的共享经济的参与者(the

majority...usersandproviders)o这些人平均收入低于4万英镑,每隔几个月才会使

用或提供这种服务,由此可以推出D首句说的“他们并不是拥有好几处房产且想要

逃税的房主”,体现了D开头的Thus。故答案选D。

4、

标准答案:B

知识点解析:本题在D之后。E和D讲述一项针对英国共享经济的研究。B说的

是该研究项目的另一个方面,也涉及共享经济。C探讨另一项研究:新兴公司如何

进入高度规范的市场。可见,B和D关联更紧密。B首句的they指代E中的the

authorsoE和D讲的是已经参与到共享经济的个体狞类型,B探讨个体还未开始投

入到共享经济的原因,二者属于共享经济的两个方面。故选B。

5、

标准答案:C

知识点解析:本题在G之后。G前面的段落介绍了一项关于英国共享经济的研

究,而G为固定段落,对前文提及的这项研究的介绍就此结束,谈论的重心转移

到Airbnb公司在美国受到最大的阻力的来源。从逻辑上看,C接着提到另一项调

查研究也很自然。同时,C结尾处提到的But...whoserevenuesthey

threaten...caseinNewYork正好与G探讨的Airbnb所受阻力的来源这个话题

相呼应。故答案选C。

6、

标准答案:B

知识点解析:B开篇引题,指出《精灵宝可梦Go》这款游戏很火爆,并对其进行

简要介绍,符合文章首段介绍主题的行文特点,适合做文章首段。C开头有akO、

D有转折连词But、G有Anotherway,说明都应该会有上文与这几段衔接,故都排

除。E开头一来便说“安全漏洞的潜在威胁让人不禁怀疑”,读者并不知是说什么事

物存在的安全漏洞,缺乏前文交代,也不可能作为首段。综上所述,本题选B。

7、

标准答案:D

知识点解析:本题在F之前,可以借助F进行反推。首先,F开头出现了几项技术

的名字,都是用缩略语形式(AR,lol和5G),而这几个词的“全称+缩略语”形式出

现在C和D,则可肯定这两段会在本段之前,故排除E和G。而C的首句出现了

提示词also,说明C应该在D之后,故圈定本题答案为D。继B介绍《精灵宝可

梦Go》这款游戏,以及其对人的好处之后,D进一步指出这个游戏还有更深一层

的意义:它是一扇原始的门,通往正在改变我们世界的科技,这两段语义衔接自

然。故确定本题选D。

8、

标准答案:C

知识点解析:D指出《精灵宝可梦Go》的意义,而C则指出该款游戏的另一个意

义:让我们预见到未来会运用到什么科技,两段联系紧密、语义衔接,故D后应

该是C。F的位置已经给出,也可以借助F进行反推。C主要介绍了AR、IoT和

5G网络技术在未来的运用,而F开头以However进行过渡,指出当世界都依赖

AR、IoT和5G网络技术的时候会发生怎样的消极后果,转换C提到的好处,谈不

好的地方,C的内容便使得F的However连接恰当,文意连贯。故确定答案选C。

9、

标准答案:G

知识点解析:本题在F和AI之间,剩下的G和E都是在谈论安全隐患的问题,从

G开头提到的Anotherway...isexposingfutureissue可以推断G的前一段同样

也是在说这款游戏揭示了科技在未来会出现的问题,而且与G说的问题不一样,

而F满足这个要求,所以可判断G接在F后面。而E以Thepotentialforsecurity

breachesleadto...开头说明前一段应该会有跟安全漏洞相关的内容,但是F没有提

到与安全漏洞相关的内容,故排除E。因此确定G为答案。

10、

标准答案:E

知识点解析:G指出《精灵宝可梦Go》揭示了科技在未来的发展中会面临到安全

问题和隐私问题,而E开头的Thepotentialforsecuritybreaches概述「G的内容,

很好地将两段衔接起来,过渡连贯,故选E。

II、[Ri]

标准答案:C

知识点解析:由以上分析可知,C”与朋友进行头脑风暴”最贴近本段主题。另外,

本段提至帕勺bounce/generateideasfrom...>helpeducateyouabouttopics…和when

youneedanewtake…,都是人与人互相交流、进行思想碰撞的行为,C的

brainstorm很好地概括了这个意思。由此可确定答案为C。

12、[R2]

标准答案:A

知识点解析:综观各选项,只有A表达了“休息,放松”的意思,而且takeawalk

与本段提到的Takingastrollaround同义。此外,文中提到的takeabreakfrom

writingtakeyourmindoff>De-stressing也都表达了需要休息和减压的意思。由此

确定本题选A。

13、[R3]

标准答案:F

知识点解析:本段中提及的Havinganewexperience、yoiCveneverheardof>think

outsideofthebox和Tryingsomethingdaring都是旨在强调要去尝试更多新鲜事物,

1做一些不寻常的事情,,表达的意思与之相符,故为答案。

14、[R4]

标准答案:E

知识点解析:本段反复出现了article一词,因此可以初步将答案锁定在出现

articles一词的E上。且根据以上分析,本段主要讲的就是如何通过回顾自己过去

所写的文章来得出新的创作,故确定E为答案。

15、[R5]

标准答案:B

知识点解析:本段首句就是主题句,B的Lookatcurrenttrends是该句的lookat

whatispopularon...的同义表达。再者,像Facebook、Twitter>Google这样的

社交网站即是潮流的风向标,也跟currenllrends相对应。由此确定本题选B。
