24、#160;             D ensuring均不符合此處的語境要求，故均排除。答案A inequality考點：上下文語義理解空格單詞后面的句意看到了貧富對比，故作為上文對其進(jìn)行概括關(guān)鍵應(yīng)選擇inequality。答案D prediction考點：時態(tài)判斷空格之后的內(nèi)容 “holds that the future will be a wasteland of a different sort，”該定語從句是對空格詞匯的修飾與說明，既然文中用到了will 這一個表

25、示將來時態(tài)的助動詞，故答案為prediction。答案A characterized考點：后置定語 + 固定搭配one 4 by purposelessness。其他三項均不符合，故排除。5.答案B meaning考點：句間語義理解Without jobs to give their lives 5 ， people will simply become lazy and depressed.空格所在句后面的表述與空格前的內(nèi)容屬于并列關(guān)系，由逗號連接。答案選擇meaning。A wisdom    C glory     &

26、#160;D freedom 這些選項都表示褒義色彩和后面 lazy、depressed 矛盾。6.答案B Indeed考點：上下文邏輯關(guān)系分析下四個選項可以看出并無體現(xiàn)因果關(guān)系 故A Thus排除，另外instead，nevertheless 表示轉(zhuǎn)折語意，但是上下文邏輯并無體現(xiàn)。 故AInstead              C Thus         

27、0; D Nevertheless均排除。7.答案C working考點：上下文語義理解 One Gallup poll found that 20 percent of Americans who have been unemployed for at least a year report having depression， double the rate for 7 Americans.根據(jù)上下文對比的語意對照應(yīng)該選擇working。前面提到unemployed 。此處在進(jìn)行對比，故選擇表示反義呼應(yīng)的詞working。8.答案A explanation考點：句內(nèi)語意理解+固定搭配 so

28、me research suggests that the 8 for rising rates of mortality， mental-health problems， and addicting 9 poorly-educated middle-aged people is shortage of well-paid jobs.答案D among考點：句內(nèi)語義理解、介詞辨析很明顯應(yīng)該指前者的發(fā)生范圍。瀏覽四個選項，among“在.中”表示范圍，符合此處語義需要，故為答案。答案C worry about考點：上下文語義理解+句內(nèi)語義理解Perhaps this is why many 10

30、60;12 of being unemployed in a society built on the concept of employment.答案的線索在于空格后面的介詞短語，后面提到being unemployed。這是貶義。其他選項均不符條件。答案A absence考點：詞匯復(fù)現(xiàn) In the  13 of work， a society designed with other ends in mind could  14 strikingly different circumstances for the future of labor and leisure.

31、答案D yield考點：詞匯的一詞多義與搭配In the  13 of work， a society designed with other ends in mind could  14 strikingly different circumstances for the future of labor and leisure.該空格所選詞匯的主語是a society 賓語是different circumstances.根據(jù)主謂一致的原則應(yīng)該選擇yield。語義為：產(chǎn)生。15.答案C virtue考點：上下文語義理解overblown.一詞為解題線索。含義：吹散 吹倒

32、表貶義。后面的內(nèi)容Many jobs are boring， degrading， unhealthy， and a waste of human potential，” says John Danaher， a lecturer at the National University of Ireland in Galway.是對這句話的進(jìn)一步解釋，結(jié)合前后的上下文語義理解，應(yīng)選擇virtue，其他選項均排除。16.答案D scarce考點：上下文語義理解 because leisure time is relatively  16 for most workers， people

33、use their free time to counterbalance the intellectual and emotional  17 of their jobs.結(jié)合常識認(rèn)知及上下文理解應(yīng)該選擇scarce。17.答案A demands考點：上下文語義理解根據(jù)語義的要求，瀏覽選項，只有demands符合語義要求。18.答案B tired  考點：上下文語義理解+常識“When I come home from a hard days work， I often feel  18 ，” Danaher says， adding， “In a w

35、s different enough to throw himself  into a hobby or a passion project with the intensity usually reserved for  20 matters.此處空格處答案和前面的intensity 形成呼應(yīng)與關(guān)聯(lián)。故此處professional符合語義需要，入選。Section II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections：Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each t

36、ext by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. （40 points）Text 1Every Saturday morning, at 9 am, more than 50,000 runners set off to run 5km around their local park. The Parkrun phenomenon began with a dozen friends and has inspired 400 events in the UK and more abroad. Events

37、are free, staffed by thousands of volunteers. Runners range from four years old to grandparents; their times range from Andrew Baddeley's world record 13 minutes 48 seconds up to an hour.Parkrun is succeeding where London's Olympic "legacy" is failing. Ten years ago on Monday, it w

38、as announced that the Games of the 30th Olympiad would be in London. Planning documents pledged that the great legacy of the Games would be to level a nation of sport lovers away from their couches. The population would be fitter, healthier and produce more winners. It has not happened. The number o

39、f adults doing weekly sport did rise, by nearly 2 million in the runup to 2012but the general population was growing faster. Worse, the numbers are now falling at an accelerating rate. The opposition claims primary school pupils doing at least two hours of sport a week have nearly halved. Obesity ha

40、s risen among adults and children. Official retrospections continue as to why London 2012 failed to "inspire a generation." The success of Parkrun offers answers.Parkun is not a race but a time trial: Your only competitor is the clock. The ethos welcomes anybody. There is as much joy over

41、a puffed-out first-timer being clapped over the line as there is about top talent shining. The Olympic bidders, by contrast, wanted to get more people doing sports and to produce more elite athletes. The dual aim was mixed up: The stress on success over taking part was intimidating for newcomers.Ind

42、eed, there is something a little absurd in the state getting involved in the planning of such a fundamentally "grassroots", concept as community sports associations. If there is a role for government, it should really be getting involved in providing common goodsmaking sure there is space

43、for playing fields and the money to pave tennis and netball courts, and encouraging the provision of all these activities in schools. But successive governments have presided over selling green spaces, squeezing money from local authorities and declining attention on sport in education. Instead of w

44、ordy, worthy strategies, future governments need to do more to provide the conditions for sport to thrive. Or at least not make them worse.21.【題干】According to Paragraph1, Parkrun has_.【選項】Agained great popularityBcreated many jobsCstrengthened community tiesDbecome an official festival【答案】A【解析】由題干中的

45、關(guān)鍵詞According to Paragraph 1, 可以快速的定位到文中的第一段，第一段講了每周六大約有五萬多人都會在他們當(dāng)?shù)氐墓珗@里跑步，跑步的年齡跨度之大：從4歲的小朋友到祖父母年紀(jì)的人都有；跑步所用的時間跨度也很大：從世界紀(jì)錄的13分48秒到一個小時。由此可見，這是一個全民運(yùn)動，與A選項的 great popularity相互對應(yīng)，所以選A. 其他選項，B創(chuàng)造了很多就業(yè)機(jī)會；C增強(qiáng)了社會的凝聚力；D成為一個官方的節(jié)日；這幾個選項原文中都沒有涉及，所以排除。22.【題干】The author believes that London's Olympic "legac

46、y" has failed to_.【選項】Aboost population growthBpromote sport participationCimprove the city's imageDincrease sport hours in schools【答案】B【解析】可以發(fā)現(xiàn)原文中第二段第一句話Parkrun is succeeding where Londons Olympic “l(fā)egacy” is failing與題干中的關(guān)鍵詞 Londons Olympic “l(fā)egacy” has failed to.對應(yīng)，所以可以鎖定文章的第二段，從而找出解題的關(guān)鍵。

47、第二段前半部分講了在最初的時候Olympic的目標(biāo)，然而，事實卻事與愿違，.but the general population was growing faster. Worse, the numbers are now falling at an accelerating rate. 由這句話可以看出，Olympic并沒有推動大眾的參與性，與預(yù)期的目標(biāo)不符，所以選擇B。23.【題干】Parkrun is different from Olympic games in that it_.【選項】Aaims at discovering talentsBfocuses on mass comp

48、etitionCdoes not emphasize elitismDdoes not attract first-timers【答案】C【解析】由題干中的關(guān)鍵詞Parkrun is different from Olympic games in that.可以知道這是想考察Parkrun和Olympic的區(qū)別。追溯到原文，可以看到文中的第三段第一句話：Parkrun is not a race but a time trial.從這句話可以排除A和B，因為A和B都和競爭有關(guān)，D選項可以從這一段的這一句話：there is much joy over a puffed-out first-ti

49、mer being clapped over the line as there is .可知，Parkrun有很多第一次參加的人，所以排除D. 最后可以知道，答案選C，因為parkrun不是比賽，所以就不重視精英主義。24.【題干】With regard to mass sport, the author holds that governments should_.【選項】Aorganize "grassroots" sports eventsBsupervise local sports associationsCincrease funds for sports c

50、lubsDinvest in public sports facilities【答案】D【解析】由題干中的關(guān)鍵詞the governments should.,可以知道，命題人想要考察的是對于Parkrun這一項大眾運(yùn)動，政府應(yīng)該做點什么。所以，考生要快速的定位到原文中有關(guān)政府的段落，即第四段，If there is a role for government, it should really be getting involved in providing common goodsmaking sure there is space for playing fields and the m

51、oney to pave tennis and netball courts, and encouraging the provision of all these activities in schools. 從這里可以知道，作者希望政府能夠為Parkrun提供場所和錢，并針對學(xué)校制定相關(guān)條例以鼓勵全民運(yùn)動。由此可以排除A，B，C. 最終選擇D。25.【題干】The author's attitude to what UK governments have done for sports is_.【選項】AtolerantBcriticalCuncertainDsympathetic

52、【答案】B【解析】由題干中的關(guān)鍵詞the authors attitude to what UK government have done for sport可以再次鎖定原文中關(guān)于政府的部分，可見這一題與24題是有一定聯(lián)系的。第四段一開始作者提出了自己對政府的期許，但是事實上，政府卻沒有達(dá)到這一期許。But successive government have presided over selling green spaces, squeezing money from local authorities and declining attention on sport in educati

53、on. 政府負(fù)責(zé)賣地，從地方政府壓榨金錢，不重視學(xué)校的體育運(yùn)動。可見，此處作者指責(zé)政府的一系列行為，由此可以得出答案B. tolerant:寬容的，容忍的； uncertain：含糊的，不確定的；sympathetic：同情的，贊同的。Text 2With so much focus on childrens use of screens, it's easy for parents to forget about their own screen use. “Tech is designed to really suck on you in,” says Jenny Radesky

54、in her study of digital play, "and digital products are there to promote maximal engagement. It makes it hard to disengage, and leads to a lot of bleed-over into the family routine.”Radesky has studied the use of mobile phones and tablets at mealtimes by giving mother-child pairs a food-testing

55、 exercise. She found that mothers who sued devices during the exercise started 20 percent fewer verbal and 39 percent fewer nonverbal interactions with their children. During a separate observation, she saw that phones became a source of tension in the family. Parents would be looking at their email

56、s while the children would be making excited bids for their attention.Infants are wired to look at parents faces to try to understand their world, and if those faces are blank and unresponsiveas they often are when absorbed in a deviceit can be extremely disconcerting foe the children. Radesky cites

57、 the “still face experiment” devised by developmental psychologist Ed Tronick in the 1970s. In it, a mother is asked to interact with her child in a normal way before putting on a blank expression and not giving them any visual social feedback; The child becomes increasingly distressed as she tries

58、to capture her mothers attention. "Parents don't have to be exquisitely parents at all times, but there needs to be a balance and parents need to be responsive and sensitive to a childs verbal or nonverbal expressions of an emotional need," says Radesky.On the other hand, Tronick himse

59、lf is concerned that the worries about kids' use of screens are born out of an “oppressive ideology that demands that parents should always be interacting” with their children: “Its based on a somewhat fantasized, very white, very upper-middle-class ideology that says if youre failing to expose

60、your child to 30,000 words you are neglecting them.” Tronick believes that just because a child isnt learning from the screen doesnt mean theres no value to itparticularly if it gives parents time to have a shower, do housework or simply have a break from their child. Parents, he says, can get a lot

61、 out of using their devices to speak to a friend or get some work out of the way. This can make them feel happier, which lets then be more available to their child the rest of the time.26.【題干】According to Jenny Radesky, digital products are designed to _.【選項】Asimplify routine mattersBabsorb user att

62、entionCbetter interpersonal relationsDincrease work efficiency【答案】B【解析】由題干中的關(guān)鍵詞Jenny Radesky, 可以快速的定位到文中提到此人物的第一段第二行，接著題干中說digital products are designed to.可以知道，考查的是數(shù)碼產(chǎn)品的目的，回歸到文中第一段第二行，可知Jenny Radesky說了這樣一句話：Tech is designed to really suck on you in, and digital products are there to promote maximal

63、 engagement.電子產(chǎn)品就是為了促進(jìn)最大程度的參與性，由此可以得出答案B為了吸引用戶的注意力。其余選項在Jenny Radesky的話中都沒有體現(xiàn)。27.【題干】Radeskys food-testing exercise shows that mothers use of devices _.【選項】Atakes away babies appetiteBdistracts childrens attentionCslows down babies verbal developmentDreduces mother-child communication【答案】D【解析】由題干中的關(guān)

64、鍵詞food-testing exercise, mothers use of devices. 可以快速的定位到第二段第二行:She found that mothers who sued devices during the exercise started 20 percent fewer verbal and 39 percent fewer nonverbal interactions with their children. 從這里可以知道，母親使用手機(jī)會減少20%的語言交流機(jī)會，39%的非語言交流。由此可以得出答案為D.減少了母親和孩子之間的交流。28.【題干】Radeskys

65、cites the “still face experiment” to show that _.【選項】Ait is easy for children to get used to blank expressionsBverbal expressions are unnecessary for emotional exchangeCchildren are insensitive to changes in their parents moodDparents need to respond to children's emotional needs【答案】D【解析】本題目是具體細(xì)

66、節(jié)題。題干中的關(guān)鍵詞Radesky和still face experiment定位到倒數(shù)第三段大寫R處，題目問實驗一定要找實驗結(jié)論，結(jié)論在本段最后一句的but之后，這里提到了parents need be to responsive .to.emotional need，父母需要對情感需求做出回應(yīng)。正確答案D是原文的原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)。干擾項A的blank expressions是原文實驗里面的具體內(nèi)容，非實驗表明；選項B是最后一句的個別詞干擾；選項C偷換概念，不是children are insensitive，而是parents。29.【題干】The oppressive ideology mentioned by Tronick requires parents to_.【選項】Aprotect kids from exposure to wild fantasiesBteach their kids at leas
