【11题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段“The UK is filled with unbelievable palaces and historic castles. Now you can take 360 degree virtual tours of the attractions by just clicking（点击）your mouse at home”（英国到处都是令人难以置信的宫殿和历史悠久的城堡。现在你可以进行360度的虚拟旅行，只需要在家点击你的鼠标）可知，人们只需点击鼠标就可以参观英国的一些城堡和历史遗迹。后面介绍白金汉宫等四个地方都提到了virtual tours-虚拟旅行，故四个地方的共同点是都为游客提供了在线虚拟旅行，故选B。

Suddenly an angel turned up before him. “You get impatient, don’t you ” said the angel. “If you don’t want to wait, just turn the button to the right. You can jump over any life period if you want to.”
The young fellow was so happy that he turned the button lightly. How amazing! His lover appeared before him immediately staring at him with love. How wonderful it would be if the wedding ceremony were held now! He, again, turned the button. a grand wedding appeared in front of him; the band was playing cheerful music, he lost himself in it deeply. Unknowingly, the desires in his heart appeared endlessly: I also want a big house. He turned the button. I also want a crowd of lovely children. Instantly a group of lovely kids were playing joyfully in the large living room. Again, he jumped at turning the button to the right more than half.
How time flies! Before he saw the blooming flowers in the garden, everything had been covered in a deep snow. Looking at himself again, he had already become so old, his hair and beard totally white.
He was filled with regrets. I’d rather spend my life step by step than go in such a hurry. Better let me wait patiently! The button moved to the left with a rush. Once again, he was waiting for his lover under that big tree. His restlessness disappeared completely.

【导语】这是一篇寓言故事。通过讲述一位脾气急躁的农民利用魔法按钮随意跳过生命周期的故事，告诫我们人生不能跳跃式前进，否则，只能招来遗憾和悔恨。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Suddenly an angel turned up before him. “You get impatient, don’t you ” said the angel. “If you don’t want to wait, just turn the button to the right. You can jump over any life period if you want to.””（突然，一位天使出现在他面前。“你不耐烦了，是吗 ”天使说。“如果你不想等，就把按钮向右转。只要你愿意，你可以跳过任何生命周期。”）可知，这个魔法按钮可以使他跳过不想等待的时间，缩短未来的时间。故选C项。
【15题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段第二句“He was short-tempered and came very early.”（他脾气暴躁，很早就来了。）及第二段第一句“You get impatient, don’t you ”（你不耐烦了，是吗 ）及最后一段前三句“He was filled with regrets. I’d rather spend my life step by step than go in such a hurry. Better let me wait patiently!”（他心中充满了遗憾。我宁愿一步一步地度过我的一生，也不愿如此匆忙地离去。还是让我耐心等待吧!）可知，该农民一开始脾气急躁，没有耐心，一直跳过生命周期，最后他终于醒悟，所以当回归现实之后，他的不耐烦消失了，他学会了耐心等待。故推知restlessness意为Impatience“不耐烦”。故选A项。
【16题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段前三句“He was filled with regrets. I’d rather spend my life step by step than go in such a hurry. Better let me wait patiently!”（他心中充满了遗憾。我宁愿一步一步地度过我的一生，也不愿如此匆忙地离去。还是让我耐心等待吧!）并结合上文农民一直使用魔法按钮跳过生命周期的故事可知，人生不能跳跃式前进，若是跳跃式前进，最终只能导致后悔和遗憾。故选D项。
C
Researchers at the University of Kansas say that it's easy for people to judge 90 percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes． "Shoes contain useful information about their wearers．" the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality．
Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style， cost， color and condition of someone's shoes． In the study， 63 University of Kansas researchers looked at pictures showing 208different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants． Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes， and then filled out a personality questionnaire．
Some of the results were expected： People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes， and flashier shoes were typically worn by outgoing people． However， some other results are strange enough． For example， "practical and functional" shoes were generally worn by more "pleasant" people， while ankle boots were more connected with "aggressive" personalities． The strangest of all may be that those who wore "uncomfortable looking" shoes tend to have "calm" personalities． And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take very good care of them， you may suffer from "attachment anxiety"， which means you are likely to spend lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance． There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal （主张变革的） types wearing "shabbier and less expensive" shoes．
The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personalities， but researchers noted that volunteers didn't fully realize that their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities．
17. What does this text mainly tell us？
A. Shoes can hide people's real personalities．
B. Shoes contain false information about the wearer．
C. People's personalities can be judged by their shoes．
D. People know little about others' personalities．
18. Which of the results is beyond people's expectation？
A. Wealthy people often wear expensive shoes．
B. Pleasant people are likely to wear ankle boots．
C. Flashier shoes are typically worn by outgoing people．
D. Calm people like wearing uncomfortable shoes．
19. People suffering from "attachment anxiety" tend to ．
A. wear strange shoes
B. worry about their appearance
C. have a calm character
D. become a political leader
20. The author wrote the text in order to ．
A. inform us of a new study
B. introduce a research method
C. teach how to choose shoes
D. describe different personalities
【答案】17. C 18. D 19. B 20. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。一项新的研究表明根据一个人的鞋子可以判断一个人，甚至是陌生人的性格，准确率能达到90%．研究人员指出有些研究结果是在意料之内的，而有些结果是出乎人们意料的。比如穿实用性鞋子的人一般具有令人愉快的性格，而穿及踝短靴的人却往往具有攻击性的性格。
【17题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段第一句“Researchers at the University of Kansas say that it's easy for people to judge 90 percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes．”可知本文主要讲的是鞋子可以反映一个人的性格，故选C。
【18题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段The strangest of all may be that those who wore "uncomfortable looking" shoes tend to have "calm" personalities，最奇怪的可能是那些穿着"看起来不舒服"的鞋子的人往往性格"冷静"。即最出乎人意料的是冷静的人似乎喜欢穿不舒服的鞋子，故D选项正确。
【19题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第二句you may suffer from “attachment anxiety”，spending lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance可知遭受"依恋焦虑"的人会花很多时间去担心他们的外表，故B选项正确。
【20题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Researchers at the University of Kansas say that it's easy for people to judge 90 percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes．”可知一项新的研究表明根据一个人的鞋子可以判断一个人，甚至是陌生人的性格，准确率能达到90%。可知作者写这篇文章的目的是为了介绍一项新研究，故选A。
【点睛】本文内容有趣味性，但是文章中的词汇障碍较多，需要考生在阅读的时候有足够的耐心．要养成在上下文串联中猜测词义的能力，根据上下文中出现的同义词，近义词，反义词，以及词义的解释来理解生词。

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。Christopher Reeve拍了许多成功的电影和电视节目，一次意外事故使他背部骨折，但他以极大的勇气开始了新的生活。痊愈后克里斯托弗又开始拍摄电影。他筹集资金帮助背部受伤的医学研究并在美国作了关于他的经历的演讲。这不仅引起了公众对背部损伤研究的关注，也鼓励了很多生活中有各种问题的人。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：Christopher Reeve出生于1952年9月。分析句子结构可知，逗号后为非限制性定语从句。先行词为Christopher Reeve，在定语从句中作主语，所以要用who。故填who。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：他拍了许多成功的电影和电视节目。空格处修饰名词films和TV shows，应用形容词形式，success的形容词为successful。故填successful。
【43题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：他最著名的是他的超人电影。本句运用了be famous for sth.意为“因为……而闻名”，故此处应填介词for。故填for。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：不幸的是，灾难发生在1995年，当时他从马上摔下来，背部骨折。修饰整个句子用副词，根据上下文语境，此处表示“不幸的是”，应填入Unluckily。故填Unluckily。
45题详解】
考查时态。句意：不幸的是，灾难发生在1995年，当时他从马上摔下来，背部骨折。事情发生在过去的1995年，break和fell是从句的并列的谓语动词，应使用一般过去时态。故填broke。
【46题详解】
考查副词。句意：医生们没料到他会活下来。然而，他取得了惊人的进步。空格处前后两句话在语意上是转折的关系，位于句首且后面有逗号和句子分开时不使用but。故填However。
【47题详解】
考查冠词。句意：他再也不会走路了，但他以极大的勇气开始了新的生活。表示“一种……的生活”需要使用不定冠词，new是以辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。
【48题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：他还筹集了大量资金为了帮助背部受伤的医学研究。此处用不定式作目的状语，表示筹集资金是“为了”帮助背部受伤的医学研究。故填to help。
【49题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：他在全美国作了关于他的经历的演讲。此处指演讲表示泛指，应该用名词复数speeches。故填speeches。
【50题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：这不仅引起了公众对背部损伤研究的关注，也鼓励了很多生活有各种问题的人。not only…but also…意为“不仅……而且……”，在这儿用于连接两个分句，其中的also可以省略。故填but。

Researchers at the University of Kansas say that it's easy for people to judge 90 percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes． "Shoes contain useful information about their wearers．" the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality．
Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style， cost， color and condition of someone's shoes． In the study， 63 University of Kansas researchers looked at pictures showing 208different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants． Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes， and then filled out a personality questionnaire．
Some of the results were expected： People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes， and flashier shoes were typically worn by outgoing people． However， some other results are strange enough． For example， "practical and functional" shoes were generally worn by more "pleasant" people， while ankle boots were more connected with "aggressive" personalities． The strangest of all may be that those who wore "uncomfortable looking" shoes tend to have "calm" personalities． And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take very good care of them， you may suffer from "attachment anxiety"， which means you are likely to spend lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance． There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal （主张变革的） types wearing "shabbier and less expensive" shoes．
The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personalities， but researchers noted that volunteers didn't fully realize that their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities．
17. What does this text mainly tell us？
A. Shoes can hide people's real personalities．
B. Shoes contain false information about the wearer．
C. People's personalities can be judged by their shoes．
D. People know little about others' personalities．
18. Which of the results is beyond people's expectation？
A. Wealthy people often wear expensive shoes．
B. Pleasant people are likely to wear ankle boots．
C. Flashier shoes are typically worn by outgoing people．
D. Calm people like wearing uncomfortable shoes．
19. People suffering from "attachment anxiety" tend to ．
A. wear strange shoes
B. worry about their appearance
C have a calm character
D. become a political leader
20. The author wrote the text in order to ．
A. inform us of a new study
B. introduce a research method
C. teach how to choose shoes
D. describe different personalities
