【答案】：1.made 2.represented 3.a 4.anything 5.what 6.but 7.newer 8.shared 9.for 10.where
【解析】：1.实词题。括号里给的动词，因此这里需要先判断是谓语还是非谓语。这是一个省略了连接词的定语从句，因此这里填谓语，时态是过去时，因此填made。
2.实词题。括号里给的动词，因此判断是谓语还是非谓语。本题句子结构较为复杂，这里which引导的是一个定语从句，而“she said”则是另外一个动词修饰前面的“which”，因此这里需要谓语，再考虑一下时态答案即可确定为represented。
3.虚词题。通过排除可确定答案为冠词。
4.虚词题。通过分析句子可知这里需要一个词与前面的writing等并列，因此这里填代词，再根据句意可知填anything。
5.虚词题。动词show后面再跟一个句子，因此这里是宾语从句。从句缺宾语，所以填连接代词what。
6.前后两个单句，前面讲的是认为中文难学，后面则是在讲到自己把汉字看成艺术之后就完全不同了，表转折，因此填but
7.实词题。括号里给的是形容词，因此考点为比较级和最高级，再根据句意可知应该填比较级。
8.实词题。动词，考虑谓语和非谓语。这里是做定语修饰后面的bike因此填过去分词。
9.虚词题。介词搭配。
10.虚词题。定语从句，从句不缺成分因此填连接副词，先行词是地点因此填where。
II. Vocabulary(10%)

【答案】 J D I B G F A K C H
【解析】
36. mischief解释为淘气，故前文也是两个孩子降临所带给作者的东西，和孩子相关的只有curiosity。
37. 这里是词组搭配，count for much解释为关系重大。
38. and 并列了happiness和要填入的词，所以应该是相近的语义，故填fulfillment。
39. 冒号后面说到要为全国的孩子做点什么，所以这里是竞选总统。
40. 因为是想为学生做点什么，所以应该是学校能配得上学生的潜能。
41. 前文提及学校要配得上学生的潜能，而后文讲到激发学生，所以能和这两者都符合的词就只有挑战了。
42. 这一句提及工作的福利，所以填retire，带着尊严退休。
43. beyond sth表示超越某事，后面的名词涉及种族，性别，宗教。所以应当是这些是物的隔离。
44. settle有解决的含义。

III. Cloze
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
If we can prevent great suffering _____46_____ to ourselves, we ought to do so. Yet Western governments are neglecting an opportunity to reduce the great misery caused by mental illness, _____47_____the net cost would be zero.
The evidence for this _____48_____ comes from recent research by a team of economists at the London School of Economics. The team, directed by Richard Layard, drew on data from four major developed countries in which people were asked to _____49_____, on a 0-10 scale, how satisfied they were with their life.
The researchers refer to those in the bottom 10 percent of the population in terms of _____50_____ as being in “misery.” When Layard’s team analyzed the results, they found that the biggest factors affecting misery were all non-economic. Mental health was the biggest predictor of all; it explained twice as much of the difference as _____51_____ or inequality did. Overall, the researchers claim, eliminating depression and anxiety would reduce misery by 20 percent,_____52_____ eliminating poverty would reduce it by just 5 percent. If we want to reduce _____53_____ in the developed world, then mental health is the biggest challenge we need to overcome.
The answer is that people adapt to higher levels of income over time — a phenomenon known as “hedonic (享乐主义) adaptation” — and they compare their income to that of their peers. This gives rise to the so-called Easterlin Paradox, the finding that although richer people are more satisfied with their lives than poorer people, economic growth has often not _____54_____ overall life satisfaction in the developed world. If your neighbor becomes richer, you feel poorer. If both of you become richer, neither of you is likely to be _____55_____ happier. _____56_____, people do not adapt to poor mental health; nor does your neighbor’s misery make you feel better.
Layard and his colleagues asked how much the British government would have to spend to tackle mental health, or poverty. They concluded that mental health would be the cheaper: around 18 times more _____57_____ in reducing misery and promoting happiness than targeting poverty.
Reducing mental illness enables many people to return to _____58_____, thereby reducing the cost of umemployment benefits while increasing tax receipts. Hence Latard and his colleagues supposed that treating mental health would _____59_____ for itself. _____60_____, the U.K government would be able to reduce misery at no cost.
46. A. in an attempt B. in no time C. at a disadvantage D. at no cost
47. A. as though B. even though C. as long as D. except that
48. A. counsel B. complexity C. claim D. charm
49. A. indicate B. initiate C. operate D. originate
50. A. economic factors B. life satisfaction
C. suffering prevention D. misery elimination
A. materual B. gender C. opportunity D. income
A. nevertheless B. instead C. otherwise D. whereas
A. poverty B. anxiety C. misery D. inequality
A.increased B. decreased C. influenced D. stalilised
A. teporarily B. accidentally C. significantly D. miserably
A. Likewise B. In other words C. In brief D. In contrast
A. cost-effective B. price-sensitive C. money-conscious D. investment-minded
A. employment B. normal C. power D. work
A. pay B. account C. stand D. look
A. In case B. In effect C. In force D. In vision

考察动词，在实验中人们被要求在0-10的分值中做出指示，因此选A

考察名词，上文提到non-economic，因此是income的对比
考察副词，whereas在这里表示对比转折
考察名词，结合本段第一句主题句，减少的应该是’misery”
考察动词，根据前半句的although可知，不会增加
考察副词，结合上下文语义，如果你和邻居都富有了，你们的幸福水平也不会增加多少

IV. Reading
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
A funny thing happened between China's first female Nobel Prize winner giving her acceptance speech in Sweden and that speech reaching her home country: Two entirely different versions appeared, and the fake one became a viral hit.
Considering we're living in an age when a message from Europe need not require someone to ride on horseback for a month or a pigeon to fly eastward for God knows how long, it was simply amazing that such a thing could happen, especially because Tu Youyou has been in the spotlight and almost every word she has spoken publicly has been reported.
Guess which version is real The one that matter-of-factly tells about the discovery of artemisinin, or the one with extreme literary style, complete with her father explaining the origin of her given name and poetic lines such as, "I like tranquility, tranquil as the leaves of sweet wormwood; I shun the spotlight, just as the petals of sweet wormwood do; I aspire to be upright, as are the stems of sweet wormwood."
Well, sweet wormwood is the plant from which Tu and her fellow scientists successfully extracted artemisinin. Most readers were so touched by the literary version they were left in tears.
They just forgot that Tu is not a woman of letters, but one of science. It was completely made up by someone who obviously has great literary talent, but could not understand the inner life of a scientist. I have not met a great many scientists, Chinese or foreign, but the ones I have spoken to have been no-nonsense and would not use such literary language.
I don't know who made up the Tu speech, or for what purpose. It does not strike me as funny. Fortunately, no mainstream media seemed to have been fooled. Yet the fake one has probably been shared more than the real one because it played to the Chinese stereotype of what such a speech should be.
China's cyberspace is full of educational and uplifting quotes, and quite a lot of them are made up. There is a joke that says the United States' spying network collected and examined all the Internet data in China, and found that the Chinese are addicted to such chicken soup, including that from untrustworthy sources.
The fact that __________ has taken the writer by surprise.
a fake speech gained popularity among citizens
The original speech of Tu wasn’t acknowledged
State-owned media was fooled by the fake speech
Tu’s award was claimed under false pretence
Which of the following statement about sweet wormwood is true？
It inspired Tu to be a woman of sound character
It was extracted as a symbol of virtue by many poets
It provided the source of the discovery of artemisinin
It provided the inspiration for Tu to win the Literature Prize
Scientists are usually _________ according to the writer.
romantic B.silent C.talkative D.straightforward
The joke in the last paragraph sis to show that ________.
China’s cyberspace is full of fake news from unreliable resources
A speech in China often involves massive amounts of chicken soup
Online news from untrustworthy sources often appeal to the Chinese
Chinese people buy into chicken soup regardless of its authenticity
【答案】61-64 ACDD
【解析】
由第一段的最后部分Two entirely different versions appeared, and the fake one became a viral hit可推导出答案为A； a viral hit意为非常受欢迎，爆红，与gained popularity意思相符
根据题干的sweet wormwood锁定在第三段，下一段的首句Well, sweet wormwood is the plant from which Tu and her fellow scientists successfully extracted artemisinin.这里可推断出答案为C
A.romantic 浪漫的 adj. B.silent 沉默的 adj. C.talkative 健谈的 adj. D.straightforward 坦率的，直截了当的 adj. 第五段最后部分 I have not met a great many scientists, Chinese or foreign, but the ones I have spoken to have been no-nonsense and would not use such literary language.可得知科学家都很正经，也不会诗情画意很文艺，根据词意判断可得出答案为D
63. 根据题目锁定最后一段的joke部分，Chinese are addicted to such chicken soup, including that from untrustworthy sources.中国人都对鸡汤类的新闻深信不疑，即便是那些来源不清的，D答案符合意思。 buy into相信，regardless of不管，忽略
B
When he was a small boy, he had loved butterflies. Oh, not to catch them, but to wonder at their designs and habits.
Now a grown man with his first son to be born in a few weeks, he found himself once again fascinated with a cocoon．He had it at the side of the park path. Somehow the branch had been knocked from the tree and the cocoon had survived undamaged and still attached to the branch.
As he had seen his mother do，he gently protected it by covering it with his handkerchief and high up for easy viewing and protection from their curious cat who would happily play with its silk.
The man watched and studied the silky cocoon. Almost unnoticeably at first, it moved. He watched more closely and soon the cocoon was trembling with activity. Nothing else happened. The cocoon remained attached to its part of the branch and there was no sign of wings
Finally it started shaking so much, the man thought the butterfly would die from the struggle. He opened the jar，took a sharp penknife from his desk, and carefully made a tiny cut in the side of the cocoon. Almost immediately, one wing appeared, followed by the other. The butterfly was free!
It seemed to enjoy its freedom and walked along the edge of the jar. But it didn’t fly. At first the man thought the wings needed time to dry ,but time passed and still the butterfly did not take off.
The man was worried and called up his neighbor who taught high school science. He told the neighbor how he had found the cocoon，placed it in the jar, and the terrible trembling as the butterfly struggled to get out. When he described how he had carefully made a small cut in the cocoon，the teacher stopped him, “Oh, that is the reason . You see，the struggle is what gives the butterfly the strength to fly.”
And so it is with us. Sometimes it’s the struggles in life that strengthen us the most.
72. The man brought the cocoon home because______________.
A. his first son had always wanted a cocoon
B. he planned to repair the broken cocoon by himself
C. he was curious about how cocoons turned into butterflies
D. he wanted to protect the cocoon from its hard environment
73. As soon as the man took the cocoon home, he____________.
A. cut a hole in the cocoon to let the butterfly out
B. tried to keep his cat away from the cocoon
C. sought his mother’s advice on what to do with it
D. put it in a jar and covered the jar with his handkerchief.
74. What lesson did the men learn from his neighbor’s explanation
A. Freedom is a gift that everyone should cherish .
B. The young should be given enough time to learn
C. Struggles in life are what make people stronger
D. Good intentions might lead to terrible results .
75 How does the author sound when telling the story
A. Curious B. Anxious C. Instructive D. Humorous
【答案】：72.D 73.B 74.C 75.C
【解析】：
72题，本题是个细节题，根据文中the man thought the butterfly would die from the struggle. 这里可以看出答案是男士想要救这只蝴蝶。
73题：本题是个细节题，注意题目问的是一回家做的什么，不是后面茧越来越虚弱做的事，根据文中As he had seen his mother do，he gently protected it by covering it with his handkerchief and high up for easy viewing and protection from their curious cat who would happily play with its silk.可以得知答案是B.
74题：本题是一个主旨题，本章中主要讲了：正是破茧而出时的那股动力使得蝴蝶有力量飞行，现在失去了破茧的力量，蝴蝶便不会飞翔了。而我们人也是如此，在生活中，往往是挫折和困难给予了我们更大的力量。可以得知答案是C.
75题：本题是问作者态度的题目，根据文章整体的语气更像是通过化蝶化茧成蝶的故事在向我们科普往往是挫折和困难给予了我们更大的力量这一个精神，所以是具有启发性的口吻。

【答案】：1.made 2.represented 3.a 4.anything 5.what 6.but 7.newer 8.shared 9.for 10.where
【解析】：1.实词题。括号里给的动词，因此这里需要先判断是谓语还是非谓语。这是一个省略了连接词的定语从句，因此这里填谓语，时态是过去时，因此填made。
2.实词题。括号里给的动词，因此判断是谓语还是非谓语。本题句子结构较为复杂，这里which引导的是一个定语从句，而“she said”则是另外一个动词修饰前面的“which”，因此这里需要谓语，再考虑一下时态答案即可确定为represented。
3.虚词题。通过排除可确定答案为冠词。
4.虚词题。通过分析句子可知这里需要一个词与前面的writing等并列，因此这里填代词，再根据句意可知填anything。
5.虚词题。动词show后面再跟一个句子，因此这里是宾语从句。从句缺宾语，所以填连接代词what。
6.前后两个单句，前面讲的是认为中文难学，后面则是在讲到自己把汉字看成艺术之后就完全不同了，表转折，因此填but
7.实词题。括号里给的是形容词，因此考点为比较级和最高级，再根据句意可知应该填比较级。
8.实词题。动词，考虑谓语和非谓语。这里是做定语修饰后面的bike因此填过去分词。
9.虚词题。介词搭配。
10.虚词题。定语从句，从句不缺成分因此填连接副词，先行词是地点因此填where。

III. Cloze
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
If we can prevent great suffering _____46_____ to ourselves, we ought to do so. Yet Western governments are neglecting an opportunity to reduce the great misery caused by mental illness, _____47_____the net cost would be zero.
The evidence for this _____48_____ comes from recent research by a team of economists at the London School of Economics. The team, directed by Richard Layard, drew on data from four major developed countries in which people were asked to _____49_____, on a 0-10 scale, how satisfied they were with their life.
The researchers refer to those in the bottom 10 percent of the population in terms of _____50_____ as being in “misery.” When Layard’s team analyzed the results, they found that the biggest factors affecting misery were all non-economic. Mental health was the biggest predictor of all; it explained twice as much of the difference as _____51_____ or inequality did. Overall, the researchers claim, eliminating depression and anxiety would reduce misery by 20 percent,_____52_____ eliminating poverty would reduce it by just 5 percent. If we want to reduce _____53_____ in the developed world, then mental health is the biggest challenge we need to overcome.
The answer is that people adapt to higher levels of income over time — a phenomenon known as “hedonic (享乐主义) adaptation” — and they compare their income to that of their peers. This gives rise to the so-called Easterlin Paradox, the finding that although richer people are more satisfied with their lives than poorer people, economic growth has often not _____54_____ overall life satisfaction in the developed world. If your neighbor becomes richer, you feel poorer. If both of you become richer, neither of you is likely to be _____55_____ happier. _____56_____, people do not adapt to poor mental health; nor does your neighbor’s misery make you feel better.
Layard and his colleagues asked how much the British government would have to spend to tackle mental health, or poverty. They concluded that mental health would be the cheaper: around 18 times more _____57_____ in reducing misery and promoting happiness than targeting poverty.
Reducing mental illness enables many people to return to _____58_____, thereby reducing the cost of umemployment benefits while increasing tax receipts. Hence Latard and his colleagues supposed that treating mental health would _____59_____ for itself. _____60_____, the U.K government would be able to reduce misery at no cost.

IV. Reading
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
A funny thing happened between China's first female Nobel Prize winner giving her acceptance speech in Sweden and that speech reaching her home country: Two entirely different versions appeared, and the fake one became a viral hit.
Considering we're living in an age when a message from Europe need not require someone to ride on horseback for a month or a pigeon to fly eastward for God knows how long, it was simply amazing that such a thing could happen, especially because Tu Youyou has been in the spotlight and almost every word she has spoken publicly has been reported.
Guess which version is real The one that matter-of-factly tells about the discovery of artemisinin, or the one with extreme literary style, complete with her father explaining the origin of her given name and poetic lines such as, "I like tranquility, tranquil as the leaves of sweet wormwood; I shun the spotlight, just as the petals of sweet wormwood do; I aspire to be upright, as are the stems of sweet wormwood."
Well, sweet wormwood is the plant from which Tu and her fellow scientists successfully extracted artemisinin. Most readers were so touched by the literary version they were left in tears.
They just forgot that Tu is not a woman of letters, but one of science. It was completely made up by someone who obviously has great literary talent, but could not understand the inner life of a scientist. I have not met a great many scientists, Chinese or foreign, but the ones I have spoken to have been no-nonsense and would not use such literary language.
I don't know who made up the Tu speech, or for what purpose. It does not strike me as funny. Fortunately, no mainstream media seemed to have been fooled. Yet the fake one has probably been shared more than the real one because it played to the Chinese stereotype of what such a speech should be.
China's cyberspace is full of educational and uplifting quotes, and quite a lot of them are made up. There is a joke that says the United States' spying network collected and examined all the Internet data in China, and found that the Chinese are addicted to such chicken soup, including that from untrustworthy sources.
The fact that __________ has taken the writer by surprise.
a fake speech gained popularity among citizens
The original speech of Tu wasn’t acknowledged
State-owned media was fooled by the fake speech
Tu’s award was claimed under false pretence
Which of the following statement about sweet wormwood is true？
It inspired Tu to be a woman of sound character
It was extracted as a symbol of virtue by many poets
It provided the source of the discovery of artemisinin
It provided the inspiration for Tu to win the Literature Prize
Scientists are usually _________ according to the writer.
romantic B.silent C.talkative D.straightforward
The joke in the last paragraph sis to show that ________.
China’s cyberspace is full of fake news from unreliable resources
A speech in China often involves massive amounts of chicken soup
Online news from untrustworthy sources often appeal to the Chinese
Chinese people buy into chicken soup regardless of its authenticity
【答案】61-64 ACDD
【解析】
由第一段的最后部分Two entirely different versions appeared, and the fake one became a viral hit可推导出答案为A； a viral hit意为非常受欢迎，爆红，与gained popularity意思相符
根据题干的sweet wormwood锁定在第三段，下一段的首句Well, sweet wormwood is the plant from which Tu and her fellow scientists successfully extracted artemisinin.这里可推断出答案为C
A.romantic 浪漫的 adj. B.silent 沉默的 adj. C.talkative 健谈的 adj. D.straightforward 坦率的，直截了当的 adj. 第五段最后部分 I have not met a great many scientists, Chinese or foreign, but the ones I have spoken to have been no-nonsense and would not use such literary language.可得知科学家都很正经，也不会诗情画意很文艺，根据词意判断可得出答案为D
63. 根据题目锁定最后一段的joke部分，Chinese are addicted to such chicken soup, including that from untrustworthy sources.中国人都对鸡汤类的新闻深信不疑，即便是那些来源不清的，D答案符合意思。 buy into相信，regardless of不管，忽略
B
When he was a small boy, he had loved butterflies. Oh, not to catch them, but to wonder at their designs and habits.
Now a grown man with his first son to be born in a few weeks, he found himself once again fascinated with a cocoon．He had it at the side of the park path. Somehow the branch had been knocked from the tree and the cocoon had survived undamaged and still attached to the branch.
As he had seen his mother do，he gently protected it by covering it with his handkerchief and high up for easy viewing and protection from their curious cat who would happily play with its silk.
The man watched and studied the silky cocoon. Almost unnoticeably at first, it moved. He watched more closely and soon the cocoon was trembling with activity. Nothing else happened. The cocoon remained attached to its part of the branch and there was no sign of wings
Finally it started shaking so much, the man thought the butterfly would die from the struggle. He opened the jar，took a sharp penknife from his desk, and carefully made a tiny cut in the side of the cocoon. Almost immediately, one wing appeared, followed by the other. The butterfly was free!
It seemed to enjoy its freedom and walked along the edge of the jar. But it didn’t fly. At first the man thought the wings needed time to dry ,but time passed and still the butterfly did not take off.
The man was worried and called up his neighbor who taught high school science. He told the neighbor how he had found the cocoon，placed it in the jar, and the terrible trembling as the butterfly struggled to get out. When he described how he had carefully made a small cut in the cocoon，the teacher stopped him, “Oh, that is the reason . You see，the struggle is what gives the butterfly the strength to fly.”
And so it is with us. Sometimes it’s the struggles in life that strengthen us the most.
72. The man brought the cocoon home because______________.
A. his first son had always wanted a cocoon
B. he planned to repair the broken cocoon by himself
C. he was curious about how cocoons turned into butterflies

A. cut a hole in the cocoon to let the butterfly out
B. tried to keep his cat away from the cocoon
C. sought his mother’s advice on what to do with it
D. put it in a jar and covered the jar with his handkerchief.
74. What lesson did the men learn from his neighbor’s explanation
A. Freedom is a gift that everyone should cherish .
B. The young should be given enough time to learn
C. Struggles in life are what make people stronger
D. Good intentions might lead to terrible results .
75 How does the author sound when telling the story
A. Curious B. Anxious C. Instructive D. Humorous
【答案】：72.D 73.B 74.C 75.C
【解析】：
72题，本题是个细节题，根据文中the man thought the butterfly would die from the struggle. 这里可以看出答案是男士想要救这只蝴蝶。
73题：本题是个细节题，注意题目问的是一回家做的什么，不是后面茧越来越虚弱做的事，根据文中As he had seen his mother do，he gently protected it by covering it with his handkerchief and high up for easy viewing and protection from their curious cat who would happily play with its silk.可以得知答案是B.
74题：本题是一个主旨题，本章中主要讲了：正是破茧而出时的那股动力使得蝴蝶有力量飞行，现在失去了破茧的力量，蝴蝶便不会飞翔了。而我们人也是如此，在生活中，往往是挫折和困难给予了我们更大的力量。可以得知答案是C.
75题：本题是问作者态度的题目，根据文章整体的语气更像是通过化蝶化茧成蝶的故事在向我们科普往往是挫折和困难给予了我们更大的力量这一个精神，所以是具有启发性的口吻。
