阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The concept of an art museum is easy enough: that is about art. There are those rare museums focused largely or entirely on the work of just one person. Those senses can be all the richer when you know the museum is the artist’s birthplace or onetime home. Here are four examples of such museums.Cyrus E. Dallin Art Museum
611 Massachusetts Ave., Arlington
781-641-0747
The name Cyrus E. Dallin (1861-1944) might not be familiar, but several of the sculptor’s works are. His “Appeal to the Great Spirit”, an example of the many sculptures Dallin made relating to Native Americans, stands in front of the Museum of Fine Arts. Born in Utah, he lived in Arlington (Texas) for the final four decades of his life.Norman Rockwell Museum
9 Glendale Road, Stockbridge
413-298-4100, www.nrm.org
Rockwell (1894-1978) moved to Stockbridge in 1953. By then he was already America’s best-known illustrator (插图画家). The museum, founded in 1969, moved into its present, Robert A．M. Stern-designed building in 1993. Its 998 paintings and drawings are the largest single collection of Rockwell’s art.
Kids 6 and under FREE, adults $20, students with ID: $10Edward Gorey House
8 Strawberry Lane, Yarmouth Port
508-362-3909
Edward Gorey (1925-2000) was an artist, yes, but he was other things as well: author, playwright, set and costume designer. Gorey purchased this 18th-century house in 1979 and lived there the rest of his life. The house currently serves as a museum celebrating Gorey’s life and work. It’s also known as the Elephant House. That’s appropriate, in light of Gorey’s passion for animal welfare.Gilbert Stuart Birthplace and Museum
815 Gilbert Stuart Road, Saunderstown, R. I.
401-294-3001
Gilbert Stuart (1755-1828) is responsible for what may well be the most familiar work of any American artist. His portrait of George Washington is the basis of the first president’s image on the dollar bill. As one of the early Republic’s most distinguished artists, Stuart painted more than a thousand portraits over the course of his career.

From self-driving cars to carebots for elderly people, rapid advances in technology have long represented a potential threat to many jobs normally performed by people.
But experts now believe that almost 50 per cent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to transform businesses. This could put some people’s livelihoods at risk.
“Experts predict that 50 per cent of occupations today will no longer exist by 2025 as people will take up more creative professions,” said Martin Chen, Chief Operating Officer of Genesis. “This means that jobs will develop and so will real estate development.”
Workspaces with rows of desks will become completely extra, not because they are not fit for purpose, but simply because that purpose no longer exists, according to the report. “The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a corresponding revolution will necessarily take place on how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.
A growing proportion of jobs in the future will require creativity intelligence, social skills and the ability to apply artificial intelligence. “And for most people that will be a route to happiness and fulfillment,” the report states.
Data in the US suggests that technology already destroys more jobs than it creates, as GDP has been able to grow faster than employment since 2000. A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 per cent of experts in artificial and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few decades.
The optimists imagined “a future in which robots and digital agents do not replace more jobs than they create,” Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin told researchers that: “Technology will continue to break up jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change.”
41．What will put some people’s livelihood at risk in fifteen years of time
A．Self-driving cars and carebots.
B．Artificial intelligence.
C．Business.
D．Real estate.
42．Why will desks in offices be unnecessary by 2025
A．There will be no purpose of using the desks.
B．The desks will no longer be fit for the purpose.
C．The office revolution will make people rethink about their work.
D．The development of technology removes the need for desks.
43．What will the characteristics of the jobs be in the next fifteen years
A．Most jobs in the future use high technology.
B．More and more jobs focus of happiness and fulfillment.
C．More and more jobs are focusing on artificial intelligence.
D．Most jobs will require social ability to communicate with others.
44．What can be implied in what Jonathan Grudin said in the last paragraph
A．There will be billions of people in fifteen years of time.
B．Enough jobs will be created for everyone to choose from.
C．People needn’t worry about their jobs in the future.
D．Robots and digital agents create more jobs than they destroy.
45．What can be the best title of the passage
A．2025, A Jobless World.
B．2025, Robots Leave Humans Unemployed.
C．There Will Be No Desks in Future.
D．Half of Our Jobs Will Be Unnecessary by 2025.
C
It was a nervous time. World War II had started, and British ships were always watching for German submarines called U-boats. The ship Ben Lomond had left Cape Town, South Africa, with a crew of 55, including a young officer named Poon Lim.
On November 23, 1942, the worst fear came true. The Ben Lomond was attacked by a U-boat. Within minutes the boat was sinking. Poon Lim grabbed a life jacket and leaped over the side. He swam rapidly away from the ship in case it exploded. Sure enough, it let out a large boom and sank beneath the waves. For two hours Poon Lim struggled in the water. Once he almost got onto a life raft with five other sailors, but it got away from his grasp. Then he saw another life raft that was empty, swam to it, and climbed aboard. He found a few cans of biscuits, a water jug, some flares, and a flashlight, which could be enough supplies for about a month.
Day after day Poon Lim had his few biscuits and a couple of sips of water. He searched the horizon for ships. Twice he leaped up to shout and wave when he saw help coming. Once he saw a freight ship. It passed him. At a later time, he saw a United States Navy plane. It flew low over the raft but then disappeared. Still later a U-boat spotted him but for some reason left him alone.
Poon Lim knew he needed to stay strong. He couldn’t get much exercise on an eight-foot-square raft, but he could swim. A couple of times a day, he circled the raft, always watching for sharks. Soon his food and water ran low. He knew that drinking seawater would make him sick, so he tore off the canvas cover on his life jacket and set it out to catch rainwater. Then he took apart the flashlight and used a wire inside to make a fishhook. For months Poon Lim drifted, catching fish and sometimes birds. One time he even caught a shark. Finally, after 130 days, he noticed that the color of the water was changing. Two days later, on his 133rd day, he saw a boat. Three sailors in a small sailboat picked him up and took him to Belem, a city on the coast of Brazil. Poon Lim had crossed the Atlantic Ocean.
No one ever had survived longer on a raft at sea. Poon Lim received many honors, including Britain’s highest award. A booklet of his survival methods was put into every British life raft.
46．What happened just after Poon Lim’s ship was hit
A．It immediately exploded. B．Poon Lim jumped over the side.
C．Poon Lim found a life raft. D．The U-boat picked up survivors.
47．How many chances of rescue did Poon Lim miss
A．Four. B．Five.
C．Three. D．Two.
48．What did Poon Lim do just after his food and water ran low
A．He jumped up and down and waved, hoping to attract help.
B．He went swimming, hoping to find some fish.
C．He made a rain catcher and some fishing equipment.
D．He spotted a United States Navy plane.
49．Which of these things happened last
A．Poon Lim noticed that the water had changed color.
B．Poon Lim landed in a Brazilian city.
C．Some sailors picked up Poon Lim.
D．Poon Lim caught a shark with his fishhook.
50．Why was Poon Lim presented with many honors
A．He had voyaged the longest time on the Atlantic Ocean.
B．He managed to spend 133 days on a life raft with determination.
C．He had a knowledge of survival methods on the sea.
D．He didn’t surrender himself to German U-boats.
D
All of us have taken an instant dislike to someone, and then felt guilty about being too judgmental. But now it seems we should place more trust in our first impressions. Most people can correctly judge a total stranger following a short meeting, according to scientists.
And in general, the more confident the people are, the more likely they are to be correct in their assumptions. Jeremy Biesanz, who led a team of researchers from the University of British Columbia, said: “Many important decisions are made after very brief encounters — which employee to hire, which person to date, which student to accept”. Although our first impressions are generally accurate, it is necessary for us to recognize where they may be not good enough.
The researchers arranged for two groups of more than 100 people to meet in a meeting. Much like speed-dating, the volunteers spoke to everyone in their group for three minutes each. At the end of each three-minute chat, they were asked to rate each other’s personalities, and how well they thought their impressions “would coincide with someone who knows this person very well”.
To find out what the person was “really” like, the scientists had his friends and family fill out his personality reports. Generally speaking, the more confident the volunteers felt in accurately rating another’s personality, the closer their ratings were to those of the other person’s friends and family, the researchers said.
However, the participants with the highest accuracy were those who rated themselves moderately(适度)accurate — those highly confident of their judgment were less successful. The scientists concluded that, although we know people are different from each other, a good judge of character knows that in many ways people are mostly alike. For example, almost everyone would prefer being kind to being unfriendly.
Therefore, while first impressions can be generally accurate, they are not conclusive in working out whether somebody really is “better” than someone else.
51．The volunteers joined a meeting which was ______.
A．interesting B．complex C．serious D．brief
52．The underlined phrase “coincide with” in Para. 3 can be replaced by ______.
A．agree with B．appeal to C．get along with D．set an example to
53．What are the conditions for being a good judge
①Being talkative ②Good social relationships
③A proper degree of confidence ④Knowing that people are mostly alike
A．①② B．②③ C．③④ D．④①
54．In the author’s opinion, ______.
A．many important decisions are made with the help of strangers
B．people tend to have better impressions on friends than on strangers
C．we shouldn’t depend on first impressions completely to judge others
D．accurate judgments on others can help us make as many friends as possible
55．What topic is the passage mainly concerned with
A．We should not doubt our ability to judge others.
B．Our first impressions on a stranger are usually accurate.
C．Confidence determines whether people can succeed or not.
D．It’s an important task to make a good judgment about strangers.

第三部分：写作（共2大题；满分35分）
第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
For most of her life, Suanne Laqueur’s passion for storytelling was shown on the dance floor.
Although Laqueur began writing at a young age, dancing always took center stage. She majored in dance and theater at Alfred University and taught at her mother’s dance studio in Croton-on-Hudson, New York, for years. But when her mother was ready to retire and an opportunity opened for Laqueur to take over the studio, she realized she had no interest in taking on the business side of her art: “Owning a studio is a lot of work — financially, logistically. I love the teaching, the choreographing (编舞), the staging, but I didn’t want to own it.”
Yet Laqueur’s disinterest in running the studio changed when she became a self-published author. In the fall of 2013, she decided to pursue self-publishing as a way of sharing her first completed novel with friends and family. During the process, she realized that following her true passion-telling stories through writing — made the business of the art worthwhile, and owning that business meant she could direct her writing career however she chose.
Starting with her second self-published novel, she began investing more time in marketing and building her audience. Her investment paid off. Since 2014, Laqueur, now 49, has self-published six novels, which collectively have hundreds of ratings and reviews on Goodreads. Gradually, readers pay more attention to her works. In particular, her 2016 novel An Exaltation of Larks stole the show and won the grand prize at the 25th Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards, topping more than 2, 300 entries.
“You have to write the most truthful story to you, and I think self-publishing allows that freedom,” she says, “If you work with traditional publishing, it’s more about what’s marketable. There are trade-offs, which everyone will tell you, but by self-publishing I have control of the book, I have control of the story, and I’m cool with that.”
56．Why didn’t Laqueur take over her mother’s studio (no more than 10 words)
57．What made Laqueur change her attitude to business (no more than 5 words)
58．What does the underlined part “stole the show” mean in paragraph 4 (no more than 3 words)
59．How does Laqueur enjoy the way of self-publishing (no more than 10 words)
60．Which do you think is the most important factor when pursuing your career Please explain. (no more than 20 words)

【详解】考查强调句。句意：玛丽说她选这门课是因为她对文学有浓厚的兴趣。that引导的宾语从句中去掉it was和空格后句子完整，所以此处为强调句句式，即“it be+被强调部分+that/who+剩余部分”，被强调部分是物时，可以用that，是人时应用who/that；此句中对原因状语“due to her strong interest in literature”进行强调。故选C。
15．Only when I got back to the ship ______ it was impossible to fill this beautiful pen with ink no matter how hard I tried.
A．had I realized B．did I realize C．I realized D．I had realized
【答案】B
【详解】考查倒装句和时态。句意：只是当我回到船上我才意识到无论我怎么努力，都无法用墨水填满这支美丽的钢笔。only后面接状语，如副词，介词短语，状语从句，后面的主句是部分倒装，助动词，be动词或情态动词要放在主语前面，这句话only后面接的是when引导的时间状语从句，主句用倒装句，根据句意和got back可知，描述过去的事情用一般过去时。故选B。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The concept of an art museum is easy enough: that is about art. There are those rare museums focused largely or entirely on the work of just one person. Those senses can be all the richer when you know the museum is the artist’s birthplace or onetime home. Here are four examples of such museums.Cyrus E. Dallin Art Museum
611 Massachusetts Ave., Arlington
781-641-0747
The name Cyrus E. Dallin (1861-1944) might not be familiar, but several of the sculptor’s works are. His “Appeal to the Great Spirit”, an example of the many sculptures Dallin made relating to Native Americans, stands in front of the Museum of Fine Arts. Born in Utah, he lived in Arlington (Texas) for the final four decades of his life.Norman Rockwell Museum
9 Glendale Road, Stockbridge
413-298-4100, www.nrm.org
Rockwell (1894-1978) moved to Stockbridge in 1953. By then he was already America’s best-known illustrator (插图画家). The museum, founded in 1969, moved into its present, Robert A．M. Stern-designed building in 1993. Its 998 paintings and drawings are the largest single collection of Rockwell’s art.

Edward Gorey (1925-2000) was an artist, yes, but he was other things as well: author, playwright, set and costume designer. Gorey purchased this 18th-century house in 1979 and lived there the rest of his life. The house currently serves as a museum celebrating Gorey’s life and work. It’s also known as the Elephant House. That’s appropriate, in light of Gorey’s passion for animal welfare.Gilbert Stuart Birthplace and Museum

From self-driving cars to carebots for elderly people, rapid advances in technology have long represented a potential threat to many jobs normally performed by people.
But experts now believe that almost 50 per cent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to transform businesses. This could put some people’s livelihoods at risk.
“Experts predict that 50 per cent of occupations today will no longer exist by 2025 as people will take up more creative professions,” said Martin Chen, Chief Operating Officer of Genesis. “This means that jobs will develop and so will real estate development.”
Workspaces with rows of desks will become completely extra, not because they are not fit for purpose, but simply because that purpose no longer exists, according to the report. “The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a corresponding revolution will necessarily take place on how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.
A growing proportion of jobs in the future will require creativity intelligence, social skills and the ability to apply artificial intelligence. “And for most people that will be a route to happiness and fulfillment,” the report states.
Data in the US suggests that technology already destroys more jobs than it creates, as GDP has been able to grow faster than employment since 2000. A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 per cent of experts in artificial and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few decades.
The optimists imagined “a future in which robots and digital agents do not replace more jobs than they create,” Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin told researchers that: “Technology will continue to break up jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change.”
41．What will put some people’s livelihood at risk in fifteen years of time
A．Self-driving cars and carebots.
B．Artificial intelligence.
C．Business.
D．Real estate.
42．Why will desks in offices be unnecessary by 2025
A．There will be no purpose of using the desks.
B．The desks will no longer be fit for the purpose.
C．The office revolution will make people rethink about their work.
D．The development of technology removes the need for desks.
43．What will the characteristics of the jobs be in the next fifteen years
A．Most jobs in the future use high technology.
B．More and more jobs focus of happiness and fulfillment.
C．More and more jobs are focusing on artificial intelligence.
D．Most jobs will require social ability to communicate with others.
44．What can be implied in what Jonathan Grudin said in the last paragraph
A．There will be billions of people in fifteen years of time.
B．Enough jobs will be created for everyone to choose from.
C．People needn’t worry about their jobs in the future.
D．Robots and digital agents create more jobs than they destroy.
45．What can be the best title of the passage
A．2025, A Jobless World.
B．2025, Robots Leave Humans Unemployed.
C．There Will Be No Desks in Future.
D．Half of Our Jobs Will Be Unnecessary by 2025.
【答案】41．B 42．A 43．C 44．C 45．D
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了未来人工智能发展将导致近50%职业消失，工作方式将革新。新工作需创造力、社交技能和应用人工智能，技术或破坏就业，但乐观看待，它会创造更多工作。
41．细节理解题。根据第二段的“But experts now believe that almost 50 per cent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to transform businesses. This could put some people’s livelihoods at risk.(但专家们现在认为，随着人工智能继续改变企业，到2025年，目前存在的近50%的职业将完全没有必要。这可能会危及一些人的生计。)”可知，人工智未来会危及一些人的生计。故选B项。
42．推理判断题。根据第四段的“Workspaces with rows of desks will become completely extra, not because they are not fit for purpose, but simply because that purpose no longer exists, according to the report.(报告称，摆放成排办公桌的工作空间将变得完全多余，不是因为它们不适合使用，而是因为这种用途已不复存在。)”可知，未来办公室的办公桌就不再需要了是因为办公桌本身已没有用武之地。故选A项。
43．细节理解题。根据第五段的“A growing proportion of jobs in the future will require creativity intelligence, social skills and the ability to apply artificial intelligence.(未来越来越多的工作需要创造力、智力、社交技能和应用人工智能的能力。)”可知，在未来的15年里， 越来越多的工作都集中在人工智能上。 故选C项。
44．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Technology will continue to break up jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. (技术将继续打破工作岗位，但似乎有可能创造更多的工作岗位。虽然一直都有失业的人，但当我们的人口达到几十亿的时候，就有几十亿的工作机会。)”可知，技术会创造更多的工作岗位，因此人们不必为将来的工作担心。故选C项。
45．主旨大意题。根据第一段的“From self-driving cars to carebots for elderly people, rapid advances in technology have long represented a potential threat to many jobs normally performed by people.(从自动驾驶汽车到老年人护理机器人，技术的快速发展长期以来一直对许多通常由人类完成的工作构成潜在威胁。)”和第二段的“But experts now believe that almost 50 per cent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to transform businesses. This could put some people’s livelihoods at risk.(但专家们现在认为，随着人工智能继续改变企业，到2025年，目前存在的近50%的职业将完全没有必要。这可能会危及一些人的生计。)”可知，文章主要介绍了技术的迅猛发展对现有的职业构成了潜在的威胁，到2025年，有近50%的现有职业将是完全多余的，所以最佳标题为D项“到2025年，我们一半的工作将是不必要的”。故选D项。
C
It was a nervous time. World War II had started, and British ships were always watching for German submarines called U-boats. The ship Ben Lomond had left Cape Town, South Africa, with a crew of 55, including a young officer named Poon Lim.
On November 23, 1942, the worst fear came true. The Ben Lomond was attacked by a U-boat. Within minutes the boat was sinking. Poon Lim grabbed a life jacket and leaped over the side. He swam rapidly away from the ship in case it exploded. Sure enough, it let out a large boom and sank beneath the waves. For two hours Poon Lim struggled in the water. Once he almost got onto a life raft with five other sailors, but it got away from his grasp. Then he saw another life raft that was empty, swam to it, and climbed aboard. He found a few cans of biscuits, a water jug, some flares, and a flashlight, which could be enough supplies for about a month.
Day after day Poon Lim had his few biscuits and a couple of sips of water. He searched the horizon for ships. Twice he leaped up to shout and wave when he saw help coming. Once he saw a freight ship. It passed him. At a later time, he saw a United States Navy plane. It flew low over the raft but then disappeared. Still later a U-boat spotted him but for some reason left him alone.
Poon Lim knew he needed to stay strong. He couldn’t get much exercise on an eight-foot-square raft, but he could swim. A couple of times a day, he circled the raft, always watching for sharks. Soon his food and water ran low. He knew that drinking seawater would make him sick, so he tore off the canvas cover on his life jacket and set it out to catch rainwater. Then he took apart the flashlight and used a wire inside to make a fishhook. For months Poon Lim drifted, catching fish and sometimes birds. One time he even caught a shark. Finally, after 130 days, he noticed that the color of the water was changing. Two days later, on his 133rd day, he saw a boat. Three sailors in a small sailboat picked him up and took him to Belem, a city on the coast of Brazil. Poon Lim had crossed the Atlantic Ocean.
No one ever had survived longer on a raft at sea. Poon Lim received many honors, including Britain’s highest award. A booklet of his survival methods was put into every British life raft.
46．What happened just after Poon Lim’s ship was hit
A．It immediately exploded. B．Poon Lim jumped over the side.
C．Poon Lim found a life raft. D．The U-boat picked up survivors.
47．How many chances of rescue did Poon Lim miss

A．He jumped up and down and waved, hoping to attract help.
B．He went swimming, hoping to find some fish.
C．He made a rain catcher and some fishing equipment.
D．He spotted a United States Navy plane.
49．Which of these things happened last
A．Poon Lim noticed that the water had changed color.
B．Poon Lim landed in a Brazilian city.
C．Some sailors picked up Poon Lim.
D．Poon Lim caught a shark with his fishhook.
50．Why was Poon Lim presented with many honors
A．He had voyaged the longest time on the Atlantic Ocean.
B．He managed to spend 133 days on a life raft with determination.
C．He had a knowledge of survival methods on the sea.
D．He didn’t surrender himself to German U-boats.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Poon Lim由于船只受到攻击沉没而在救生筏上坚持生存了133天的事迹，而因此获得很多荣誉。
46．细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“Within minutes the boat was sinking. Poon Lim grabbed a life jacket and leaped over the side.(几分钟后，船开始下沉。Poon Lim抓起一件救生衣，从船边跳了下去。)”可知，Poon Lim的船被撞之后，他抓起一件救生衣，从船边跳了过去。故选B。
47．细节理解题。根据第三段“Twice he leaped up to shout and wave when he saw help coming. Once he saw a freight ship. It passed him. At a later time, he saw a United States Navy plane. It flew low over the raft but then disappeared. Still later a U-boat spotted him but for some reason left him alone.(有两次，当他看到有人来帮忙时，他跳起来大喊并挥手。有一次他看见一艘货船。它从他身边走过。后来，他看到了一架美国海军飞机。它低低地飞过木筏，然后又消失了。再后来，一艘u型潜艇发现了他，但出于某种原因，没有理会他。)”可知，他错过了三次得到救援的机会，故选C。
48．细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容“He knew that drinking seawater would make him sick, so he tore off the canvas cover on his life jacket and set it out to catch rainwater. Then he took apart the flashlight and used a wire inside to make a fishhook. For months Poon Lim drifted, catching fish and sometimes birds.(他知道喝海水会让他生病，所以他撕下了救生衣上的帆布盖，开始收集雨水。然后他拆开手电筒，用里面的一根电线做了一个鱼钩。Poon Lim漂流了好几个月，捕鱼，有时还抓鸟。)”可知，在他的食物和水刚用完的时候做了一个集雨器和一些钓鱼用具。故选C。

All of us have taken an instant dislike to someone, and then felt guilty about being too judgmental. But now it seems we should place more trust in our first impressions. Most people can correctly judge a total stranger following a short meeting, according to scientists.
And in general, the more confident the people are, the more likely they are to be correct in their assumptions. Jeremy Biesanz, who led a team of researchers from the University of British Columbia, said: “Many important decisions are made after very brief encounters — which employee to hire, which person to date, which student to accept”. Although our first impressions are generally accurate, it is necessary for us to recognize where they may be not good enough.
The researchers arranged for two groups of more than 100 people to meet in a meeting. Much like speed-dating, the volunteers spoke to everyone in their group for three minutes each. At the end of each three-minute chat, they were asked to rate each other’s personalities, and how well they thought their impressions “would coincide with someone who knows this person very well”.
To find out what the person was “really” like, the scientists had his friends and family fill out his personality reports. Generally speaking, the more confident the volunteers felt in accurately rating another’s personality, the closer their ratings were to those of the other person’s friends and family, the researchers said.
However, the participants with the highest accuracy were those who rated themselves moderately(适度)accurate — those highly confident of their judgment were less successful. The scientists concluded that, although we know people are different from each other, a good judge of character knows that in many ways people are mostly alike. For example, almost everyone would prefer being kind to being unfriendly.
Therefore, while first impressions can be generally accurate, they are not conclusive in working out whether somebody really is “better” than someone else.
51．The volunteers joined a meeting which was ______.
A．interesting B．complex C．serious D．brief
52．The underlined phrase “coincide with” in Para. 3 can be replaced by ______.
A．agree with B．appeal to C．get along with D．set an example to
53．What are the conditions for being a good judge
①Being talkative ②Good social relationships
③A proper degree of confidence ④Knowing that people are mostly alike
A．①② B．②③ C．③④ D．④①
54．In the author’s opinion, ______.
A．many important decisions are made with the help of strangers
B．people tend to have better impressions on friends than on strangers
C．we shouldn’t depend on first impressions completely to judge others
D．accurate judgments on others can help us make as many friends as possible
55．What topic is the passage mainly concerned with
A．We should not doubt our ability to judge others.
B．Our first impressions on a stranger are usually accurate.
C．Confidence determines whether people can succeed or not.
D．It’s an important task to make a good judgment about strangers.
【答案】51．D 52．A 53．C 54．C 55．B
【导语】本文的体裁是议论文。文章讨论了第一印象的有效性，并提出了科学研究结果来支持观点。
51．细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers arranged for two groups of more than 100 people to meet in a meeting. Much like speed-dating, the volunteers spoke to everyone in their group for three minutes each.(研究人员安排了两组超过100人的人在一个会议室里见面。就像速配相亲一样，志愿者们与各自小组内的每个人交谈三分钟)”可知，志愿者参加的会议很短暂，故选D项。
52．词句猜测题。根据第三段“At the end of each three-minute chat, they were asked to rate each other’s personalities, and how well they thought their impressions(在每次三分钟的交谈结束时，他们被要求相互评价对方的性格，以及他们认为自己的印象会有多大程度的……)”以及“someone who knows this person very well”(非常了解这个人的人)”可推理出划线词的含义为“与……一致”，故选A项。
53．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“However, the participants with the highest accuracy were those who rated themselves moderately(适度)accurate — those highly confident of their judgment were less successful (然而，准确度最高的是那些认为自己判断适度准确的人——那些对自己判断非常有信心的人反而不太成功)”以及“The scientists concluded that, although we know people are different from each other, a good judge of character knows that in many ways people are mostly alike.(科学家们得出结论，尽管我们知道人与人之间是不同的，但擅长判断性格的人知道，在许多方面，人们大都是相似的)”可知，一个好的判断者需要适度的自信以及知道人们大都是相似的这一事实，故选C项。
54．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Therefore, while first impressions can be generally accurate, they are not conclusive in working out whether somebody really is “better” than someone else.( 因此，虽然第一印象通常比较准确，但在判断某人是否真的比另一个人更好时，它们并不是决定性的)”可推理出作者认为：我们不应该完全依靠第一印象来评判别人，故选C项。
55．主旨大意题。根据第一段“But now it seems we should place more trust in our first impressions. Most people can correctly judge a total stranger following a short meeting, according to scientists(但现在看来，我们应该更加相信自己的第一印象。科学家称，大多数人可以在短暂会面后正确地判断一个完全陌生的人)”、第二段“Although our first impressions are generally accurate, it is necessary for us to recognize where they may be not good enough(虽然我们的第一印象通常很准确，但我们必须认识到，在哪些地方我们的第一印象可能不够准确)”、第四段“Generally speaking, the more confident the volunteers felt in accurately rating another’s personality, the closer their ratings were to those of the other person’s friends and family, the researchers said(研究人员表示，一般来说，志愿者在准确评价他人性格方面越自信，他们的评价就越接近他人的朋友和家人的评价)”以及最后一段“Therefore, while first impressions can be generally accurate, they are not conclusive in working out whether somebody really is “better” than someone else.( 因此，虽然第一印象通常比较准确，但在判断某人是否真的比另一个人更好时，它们并不是决定性的)”可知，本文主要讲的是我们对陌生人的第一印象通常是准确的，故选B项。

For most of her life, Suanne Laqueur’s passion for storytelling was shown on the dance floor.
Although Laqueur began writing at a young age, dancing always took center stage. She majored in dance and theater at Alfred University and taught at her mother’s dance studio in Croton-on-Hudson, New York, for years. But when her mother was ready to retire and an opportunity opened for Laqueur to take over the studio, she realized she had no interest in taking on the business side of her art: “Owning a studio is a lot of work — financially, logistically. I love the teaching, the choreographing (编舞), the staging, but I didn’t want to own it.”
Yet Laqueur’s disinterest in running the studio changed when she became a self-published author. In the fall of 2013, she decided to pursue self-publishing as a way of sharing her first completed novel with friends and family. During the process, she realized that following her true passion-telling stories through writing — made the business of the art worthwhile, and owning that business meant she could direct her writing career however she chose.
Starting with her second self-published novel, she began investing more time in marketing and building her audience. Her investment paid off. Since 2014, Laqueur, now 49, has self-published six novels, which collectively have hundreds of ratings and reviews on Goodreads. Gradually, readers pay more attention to her works. In particular, her 2016 novel An Exaltation of Larks stole the show and won the grand prize at the 25th Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards, topping more than 2, 300 entries.
“You have to write the most truthful story to you, and I think self-publishing allows that freedom,” she says, “If you work with traditional publishing, it’s more about what’s marketable. There are trade-offs, which everyone will tell you, but by self-publishing I have control of the book, I have control of the story, and I’m cool with that.”
56．Why didn’t Laqueur take over her mother’s studio (no more than 10 words)
57．What made Laqueur change her attitude to business (no more than 5 words)
58．What does the underlined part “stole the show” mean in paragraph 4 (no more than 3 words)
59．How does Laqueur enjoy the way of self-publishing (no more than 10 words)
60．Which do you think is the most important factor when pursuing your career Please explain. (no more than 20 words)
【答案】56．She didn’t have interest in running the studio.
Or: She disliked hated the business side of art.
Or: Owning a studio is much work-financially, logistically. 57．Self-publishing her novel(s).
Or: She became a self-published author.
Or: She self-published her novel(s). 58．Attracted/Caught/Captured/Drew people’s attention. 59．She has the freedom to write the most truthful story.
Or: She has control of the book and the story.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了舞蹈演员Suanne Laqueur成功自助出版小说的经历。
56．考查细节理解。根据第二段中“But when her mother was ready to retire and an opportunity opened for Laqueur to take over the studio, she realized she had no interest in taking on the business side of her art: ‘Owning a studio is a lot of work — financially, logistically. I love the teaching, the choreographing (编舞), the staging, but I didn’t want to own it.’(但当她的母亲准备退休，Laqueur有机会接管工作室时，她意识到自己没有兴趣从事艺术的商业方面的工作：‘拥有一个工作室需要很多工作——从财务上和后勤上。我喜欢这里的教学、编舞和舞台，但我不想拥有它。’)”可知，Laqueur不接管她母亲的工作室是因为她对于经营工作室没有兴趣，她讨厌艺术的商业一面，拥有一家工作室需要付出很多努力——无论是在财务上还是后勤上，故答案为She didn’t have interest in running the studio./She disliked hated the business side of art./Owning a studio is much work-financially, logistically.
57．考查细节理解。根据第三段中“Yet Laqueur’s disinterest in running the studio changed when she became a self-published author.(然而，当Laqueur成为一名自助出版的作家后，她对经营工作室的兴趣发生了变化)”可知，Laqueur成为一名自助出版的作家后对经营工作室的兴趣发生了变化，故答案为Self-publishing her novel(s)./ She became a self-published author./She self-published her novel(s).
58．考查词句猜测。划线短语上文“Gradually, readers pay more attention to her works.(渐渐地，读者越来越关注她的作品)”提到，读者越来越关注她的作品，结合划线短语所在句中“In particular(尤其是)”以及“won the grand prize at the 25th Annual Writer’s Digest Sel
