動(dòng)詞,故答案為prediction。

解析:上下文邏輯關(guān)系。分析下四個(gè)選項(xiàng)可以看出并無(wú)體現(xiàn)因果關(guān)系故AThus排除，另外instead,

nevertheless表示轉(zhuǎn)折語(yǔ)意，但是上下文邏輯并無(wú)體現(xiàn)。

故A.Instead,CThus,DNevertheless均排除。

[參考答案]A

[答案解析]

第21題

21.AccordingtoParagraph1,Parkrunhas

[A]gainedgreatpopularity

[B]createdmanyjobs

[C]strengthenedcommunityties

[D]becomeanofficialfestival

[參考答案]A

[答案解析]

答案：A

解析：由題干中的關(guān)鍵詞AccordingtoParagraph1,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(wàn)多人都會(huì)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(shí)間跨度也很大：從世界紀(jì)錄的13分48秒到一個(gè)小時(shí)。由此可見(jiàn)，

這是一個(gè)全民運(yùn)動(dòng)，與A選項(xiàng)的greatpopularity相互對(duì)應(yīng)，所以選A.其他選項(xiàng)，B.創(chuàng)造了很

多就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)；C.增強(qiáng)了社會(huì)的凝聚力；D.成為一個(gè)官方的節(jié)日；這幾個(gè)選項(xiàng)原文中都沒(méi)有涉及，所以

排除。

第22題

22.TheauthorbelievesthatLondon;sOlympic“l(fā)egacy“hasfailedto：

[A]boostpopulationgrowth

[B]promotesportparticipation

[C]improvethecity,simage

[D]increasesporthoursinschools

[參考答案]B

[答案解析]

答案：B

解析：可以發(fā)現(xiàn)原文中第二段第一句話ParkrunissucceedingwhereLondon'sOlympic"legacy”

isfailing與題干中的關(guān)鍵詞London'sOlympic"legacy"hasfailedto...對(duì)應(yīng)，所以可以

鎖定文章的第二段，從而找出解題的關(guān)鍵。第二段前半部分講了在最初的時(shí)候Olympic的目標(biāo)，然而，

事實(shí)卻I事與愿違，…butthegeneralpopulationwasgrowingfaster.Worse,thenumbersare

nowfallingatanacceleratingrate.由這句話可以看出，Olympic并沒(méi)有推動(dòng)大眾的參與性，

與預(yù)期的目標(biāo)不符，所以選擇B。

第23題

23.ParkrunisdifferentfromOlympicgamesinthatit

[A]aimsatdiscoveringtalents

[B]focusesonmasscompetition

[C]doesnotemphasizeelitism

[D]doesnotattractfirst-timers

[參考答案]C

[答案解析]

答案：c

解析：由題干中的關(guān)鍵詞ParkrunisdifferentfromOlympicgamesinthat...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：Parkrunisnota

racebutatimetrial.從這句話可以排除A和B,因?yàn)锳和B都和競(jìng)爭(zhēng)有關(guān)，D選項(xiàng)可以從這一段

的這一句話：thereismuchjoyoverapuffed-outfirst-timerbeingclappedoverthelineas

thereis...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3因?yàn)?/p>

parkrun不是比賽，所以就不重視精英主義。

第24題

24.Withregardtomasssport,theauthorholdsthatgovernmentsshould

[A]organize,grassroots”sportsevents

[B]superviselocalsportsassociations

[C]increasefundsforsportsclubs

[D]investinpublicsportsfacilities

[參考答案]D

[答案解析]

答案：D

解析：由題干中的關(guān)鍵詞thegovernmentsshould.可'以知道，命題人想要考察的是對(duì)于Parkrun

這一項(xiàng)大眾運(yùn)動(dòng)，政府應(yīng)該做點(diǎn)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,

Ifthereisaroleforgovernment,itshouldreallybegettinginvolvedinprovidingcommon

goods一makingsurethereisspaceforplayingfieldsandthemoneytopavetennisandnetball

courts,andencouragingtheprovisionofalltheseactivitiesinschools.從這里可以知

道，作者希望政府能夠?yàn)镻arkrun提供場(chǎng)所和錢，并針對(duì)學(xué)校制定相關(guān)條例以鼓勵(lì)全民運(yùn)動(dòng)。由此可

以排除A,B,C.最終選擇D。

第25題

25.TheauthorJsattitudetowhatUKgovernmentshavedoneforsportsis

[A]tolerant

[B]critical

[C]uncertain

[D]sympathetic

[參考答案]B

[答案解析]

答案：B

解析：由題干中的關(guān)鍵詞theauthor?sattitudetowhatUKgovernmenthavedoneforsport

可以再次鎖定原文中關(guān)于政府的部分，可見(jiàn)這一題與24題是有一定聯(lián)系的。第四段一開(kāi)始作者提出

了自己對(duì)政府的期許，但是事實(shí)上，政府卻沒(méi)有達(dá)到這一期許。Butsuccessivegovernmenthave

presidedoversellinggreenspaces,squeezingmoneyfromlocalauthoritiesanddeclining

attentiononsportineducation.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(dòng)。

可見(jiàn)，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。

第26題

26.AccordingtoJennyRadesky,digitalproductsaredesignedto.

[A]simplifyroutinematters

[B]absorbuserattention

[C]betterinterpersonalrelations

[D]increaseworkefficiency

［參考答案］B

［答案解析］

答案：B

解析：由題干中的關(guān)鍵詞JennyRadesky,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(shuō)digitalproductsaredesignedto..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JennyRadesky說(shuō)了這樣一句話：Techisdesignedtoreallysuckonyou

in,anddigitalproductsaretheretopromotemaximalengagement....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(xiàng)在JennyRadesky的話中

都沒(méi)有體現(xiàn)。

第27題

27.Radesky'sfood-testingexerciseshowsthatmothers，useofdevices.

[A]takesawaybabies，appetite

[B]distractschildren,sattention

[C]slowsdownbabies'verbaldevelopment

[D]reducesmother-childcommunication

[參考答案]D

[答案解析]

答案：D

解析：由題干中的關(guān)鍵詞food-testingexercise,motherJsuseofdevices.可以快速的定位

至第二段第二行:Shefoundthatmotherswhosueddevicesduringtheexercisestarted20percent

fewerverbaland39percentfewernonverbalinteractionswiththeirchildren.從這里可

以知道，母親使用手機(jī)會(huì)減少20%的語(yǔ)言交流機(jī)會(huì)，39%的非語(yǔ)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。

第28題

28.Radesky'scitesthe“stillfaceexperimenttoshowthat.

[A]itiseasyforchildrentogetusedtoblankexpressions

[B]verbalexpressionsareunnecessaryforemotionalexchange

[C]childrenareinsensitivetochangesintheirparents'mood

[D]parentsneedtorespondtochildren,semotionalneeds

[參考答案]D

[答案解析]

答案：D

解析：本題目是具體細(xì)節(jié)題。題干中的關(guān)鍵詞Radesky和stillfaceexperiment定位到倒數(shù)第三段

大寫R處，題目問(wèn)實(shí)驗(yàn)一定要找實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)論，結(jié)論在本段最后一句的but之后，這里提到了parentsneed

betoresponsive...to...emotionalneed,父母需要對(duì)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(xiàng)A的blankexpressions是原文實(shí)驗(yàn)里面的具體內(nèi)容，非實(shí)驗(yàn)表明；選項(xiàng)B是最后

一句的個(gè)別詞干擾；選項(xiàng)C偷換概念，不是childrenareinsensitive,而是parents。

第29題

29.TheoppressiveideologymentionedbyTronickrequiresparentsto.

[A]protectkidsfromexposuretowildfantasies

[B]teachtheirkidsatleast30,000wordsayear

[C]ensureconstantinteractionwiththeirchildren

[D]remainconcernedaboutkid'suseofscreens

[參考答案]C

[答案解析]

答案：C

解析：本題目為具體細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干的關(guān)鍵詞oppressiveideology和大寫字母Tronick定位到最

后一段的第一句話that之后。本句that后的demands對(duì)應(yīng)題干的requires,說(shuō)道“父母應(yīng)該總是

要交流”。正確選項(xiàng)C的constantinteraction對(duì)應(yīng)原文的alwaysinteracting。干擾項(xiàng)A的fantasies

是定位句下一句中的個(gè)別詞干擾；選項(xiàng)B的30000words同樣是定位句之后的句子中提到的，而且是

if的一個(gè)條件句；選項(xiàng)D的concerned是末段首句的concerned,但是偷換概念。

第30題

30.AccordingtoTronick,kid'suseofscreensmay______.

[A]givetheirparentssomefreetime

[B]maketheirparentsmorecreative

[C]helpthemwiththeirhomework

[D]helpthembecomemoreattentive

[參考答案]A

[答案解析]

答案：A

解析：本題目為文中人物觀點(diǎn)的細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干中的大寫字母Tronick及關(guān)鍵詞kid定位到最后一

段的倒數(shù)第三句，破折號(hào)后面解釋了kid'suseofscreens的具體目的。“itgivesparentstime

to...”與正確選項(xiàng)A完全一致，屬于原文的原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)。干擾項(xiàng)B的creative并未提及；選項(xiàng)C的

homework根據(jù)原文的housework進(jìn)行干擾，原文是父母有時(shí)間做家務(wù)，而選項(xiàng)是幫助孩子做作業(yè)；

選項(xiàng)D的attentive并未提及。

第31題

31.Oneofthereasonsforhigh-schoolgraduatesnottakingagapyearisthat.

[A]theythinkitacademicallymisleading

[B]theyhavealotoffuntoexpectincollege

[C]itfeelsstrangetododifferentlyfromothers

[D]itseemsworthlesstotakeoff-campuscourses

[參考答案]C

[答案解析]

答案：C

解析：題目問(wèn)的是高中畢業(yè)生不選擇間隔年原因之一是什么。根據(jù)題目中的high-school和gapyear

和定位到第一段第一句話。這句話后面一句的afterall可以知道后面應(yīng)該是解釋理由了，Afterall,

ifeveryoneyouknowisgoingtocollegeinthefall,itseemssillytostaybackayear,

doesn'tit?這句話是說(shuō)如果大家秋天都上大學(xué)去了，你要是晚了一年看起來(lái)有點(diǎn)傻。這個(gè)句子等同

于C選項(xiàng)中的feelstrangetododifferentlyfromothers,因此選C。

第32題

32.StudiesfromtheUSandAustraliaimplythattakingagapyearhelps.

[A]keepstudentsfrombeingunrealistic

[B]lowerrisksinchoosingcareers

[C]easefreshmenJsfinancialburdens

[D]relievefreshmenofpressures

[參考答案]D

[答案解析]

答案：D

解析：根據(jù)題目中的studyfromtheAustraliaandUS可以定位到第三段第一句話Studiesfromthe

UnitedStatesandAustraliashowthatstudentswhotakeagapyeararegenerallybetter

preparedforandperformbetterincollegethanthosewhodonot.o這句話明確說(shuō)了有間隔

年的學(xué)生比沒(méi)有的要好，好在準(zhǔn)備和表現(xiàn)上。所以Aunrealistic和Bchoosingcareer不對(duì)。第二句

在表現(xiàn)好的更細(xì)致地方面進(jìn)行了描述：preparingthemforindependence獨(dú)立性，new

responsibilities責(zé)任感andenvironmentalchanges環(huán)境變化。緊隨的破折號(hào)后總結(jié)說(shuō)了這

是first-yearstudents一年級(jí)學(xué)生oftenstrugglewiththemost常常有苦惱的。說(shuō)明最受益

的是大學(xué)一年級(jí)學(xué)生，而整段都沒(méi)提過(guò)financialburdens,所以C不對(duì)。而D中的pressure是對(duì)

前面內(nèi)容的概括性描述，因此答案是D。

第33題

33.Theword“acclimation”(Line8,Para.3)isclosestinmeaningto______.

[A]adaptation

[B]application

[C]motivation

[D]competition

［參考答案］A

［答案解析］

答案：A

解析：這題根據(jù)題干中給的信息，到第三段最后一句中去找答案，Gapyearexperiencescan...when

itcomestoadjustingtocollege...,makingiteasierto...ratherthanacclimationblunders.

這個(gè)句子分兩部分，逗號(hào)+making分詞作狀語(yǔ)、從功能上是解釋補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明前面半句，所以間隔年的好

處是能幫助新生調(diào)節(jié)適應(yīng)大學(xué)，而不用擔(dān)心acclimation問(wèn)題，所以acclimation當(dāng)然就是適應(yīng)的

意思了。因此A為正確答案。

第34題

34.Agapyearmaysavemoneyforstudentsbyhelpingthem.

[A]avoidacademicfailures

[B]establishlong-termgoals

[C]switchtoanothercollege

[D]decideontherightmajor

[參考答案]D

[答案解析]

答案：D

解析：文章最后一段第一句提到了consideritsfinancialimpactonfutureacademicchoices0

Financial對(duì)應(yīng)題干中的savemoney,而academicchoices學(xué)術(shù)選擇可以排除A和Bo根據(jù)最后一

段第三句...students。??listingonemajorontheircollegeapplications,butswitchingto

anotheraftertakingcollegeclasses.所以第一句中的academicchoices指的就是轉(zhuǎn)專業(yè)的事兒，

因此選Do

第35題

35.Themostsuitabletitleforthistextwouldbe.

[A]InFavoroftheGapYear

[B]TheABCsoftheGapYear

[C]TheGapYearComesBack

[D]TheGapYear:ADilemma

［參考答案］A

［答案解析］

答案：A

解析：第二段第一句話Butwhilethismaybetrue,it'snotagoodenoughreasontocondemn

gapyears.就用but句說(shuō)明了全文就是想說(shuō)間隔年你值得擁有。而選項(xiàng)中只有A選項(xiàng)infavorof

是持正面積極態(tài)度的，因此選A。
