Wasting
Food
is
Still
a
Big
Problem
China
is
famous
for
its
delicious
food,
and
there
are
so
many
different
dishes
to
try
here.
But
many
of
us
take
this
granted
and
throw
away
the
extra
food
we
don’t
eat.
According
to
a
report
released
by
the
United
Nations,
there
were
815
million
undernourished
people
in
the
world
in
2018,
more
than
one
in
every
10
on
Earth.
Yet,
1.3
billion
tons
of
food
______1______
(waste)
annually
around
the
world,
which
is
about
one-third
of
all
food
produced
each
year,
according
to
the
UN’s
Food
and
Agriculture
Organization.
To
get
______2______
better
understanding
of
different
countries’
food
waste
problems,
the
Economist
intelligence
Unit
recently
surveyed
34
nations
according
to
their
food
system
sustainability.
According
to
the
report,
_____3_____
was
released
this
month,
France
topped
the
list
of
food
sustainability,
followed
by
Japan
and
Germany.
The
performance
of
these
countries
is
largely
related
to
their
policies
to
deal
with
food
waste.
For
example,
France
was
the
first
country
______4______(pass)
laws
to
ban
food
waste.
In
France,
it’s
illegal
for
supermarkets
to
throw
away
unsold
food,
and
French
restaurants
___5___
provide
doggy
bags
for
people’s
leftovers.
Germany
is
trying
to
deal
with
the
problem
by
reforming
expiration
dates.
“We
found
in
our
study
that
many
people
believed
they
should
throw
away
products
___6___
the
“best
before’
date
has
expired,”
Martin
Kranert,
chair
of
Stuttgart
University’s
waste
management
department,
told
Deutsche
Welle.
“This
is
not
at
all
case,
and
such
a
persisting
lack
of
knowledge
is
the
first
thing
_____7_____
has
to
change.”
Some
countries
are
still
lagging
behind
when
it
comes
to
_____8_____
(prevent)
food
waste,
however.
For
example,
the
Untied
Arab
Emirates
wastes
the
most
food,
with
each
of
its
citizens
______9______
(throw)
away
about
1,000
kilograms
every
year
on
average.
China
has
been
working
hard
to
reduce
food
waste.
In
early
2013,
the
country’s
Clean
Your
Plate
Campaign
was
Launched,
urging
people
not
to
waste
anything
on
their
plate.
“
_______10_______
consumers
are
more
conscious
of
the
amount
of
food
waste
they
generate
and
everyone
plays
a
role
in
minimizing
their
personal
food
waste,
then
we
can
do
better
as
a
community,”
said
Joyce
Chan
from
the
Foodlink
Foundation,
a
Hong
Kong
charity
dedicated
to
reducing
food
waste.

The
postponement
of
the
2020
Tokyo
Olympics
for
a
year
has
raised
concerns
over
a
_______11_______(reduce)
marketing
period
for
the
Beijing
2022
Winter
Olympics,
but
analysts
believe
the
impact
will
be
limited.
The
Tokyo
2020
Olympics,
_____12_____sponsorship
revenue
has
exceeded
$3.1
billion,
has
been
rescheduled
to
be
held
from
July
23
to
August
8
in
2021
due
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic,
______13______(shorten)
the
Olympic
marketing
period
for
the
Beijing
Winter
Olympics
---
______14______(hold)
in
February
2022
---
by
a
year.?
Ren
Hai,
a
professor
at
the
Olympic
Research
Center
of
the
Beijing
Sports
University,
claimed
on
Tuesday,
"There
will
of
course
be
an
impact,
but
I
think
the
impact
will
be
limited,
as
the
Summer
Olympics
and
Winter
Olympics
are
different
in
terms
of
sports
and
disciplines,"
Ren
said.
"Historically,
the
two
different
Olympics
______15______(host)
very
close
together."
Ren
was
referring
to
the
period
from
1924
to
1992,
_____16_____
both
the
Winter
and
Summer
Olympics
were
held
in
the
same
year.
He
Wenyi,
executive
director
of
the
China
Institute
for
Sports
Value,
Peking
University,
said
the
reason
_____17_____
the
limited
impact
on
Winter
Olympics
marketing
is
that
China
has
relatively
few
winter
sports
stars.
China
has
won
224
gold
medals
in
the
Summer
Olympics
since
1980,
compared
with
only
13
champions
in
the
Winter
Games.
The
last
Winter
Olympics
in
Pyeongchang,
South
Korea,
saw
China
_____18_____(bag)
only
one
gold
medal,
in
short
track
speed
skating.?Summer
Olympics
sports
are
widely
popular
in
China
while
winter
sports
are
yet
to
enjoy
the
same
kind
of
popularity,
though
the
country
has
vowed
to
get
300
million
people
to
participate
in
winter
sports
by
the
year
2022.
"But
the
promotional
events
of
Beijing
2022
are
unlikely
_____19_____(affect),
as
the
novel
coronavirus
epidemic
is
under
control
in
China,"
He
Wenyi
said,
adding
the
virus
spread
might
lead
to
a
change
in
____20____
sports
sponsorship

done
worldwide.

The
throngs
of
tourists
flooding
Russian
cities
for
the
World
Cup
are
expected
to
provide
a(n)
_____21_____
boost
to
the
country’s
economy.
However,
the
influx
has
proved
difficult
for
some
host
cities
to
fully
_____22_____
visitors.
In
the
city
of
Samara,
where
England
will
play
Sweden
on
Saturday
in
a
quarterfinal
match,
water
pressure
is
decreasing
due
to
a(n)
_____23_____
in
customers.
In
response,
the
city
utility
company
has
offered
an
unusual
solution
to
mitigate(缓解)
the
low
pressure.
The
proposal
by
the
city’s
water
system
authorities
was
_____24_____
in
a
simple
statement.
“Save
water,
take
showers
in
pairs,”
the
company
said,
accompanying
its
______25______
with
a
smiley
face.
The
Moscow
Times
reported
the
water
authorities
have
increased
output
in
recent
days
to
compensate
for
the
visitors,
but
the
utility
company
is
still
trying
to
_____26_____
residents
about
the
strains
placed
on
the
water
service.
Rather
than
trying
to
change
the
habits
of
visitors,
the
water
service
has
asked
locals
to
alter
their
daily

“Thousands
of
the

who
also
consume
water,
are
_____28_____
to
the

the
utility
company,
Samarskiye
Kommunalniye
Systemy,
wrote
in
a
press

on
Wednesday.
The
city
has
also
experienced
a
heat
wave
that
has
increased
the

said
that
medical

distributed
water
to
fans
traveling
to
last

A
wise
man
once
said
that
the
only
thing
necessary
for
the
victory
of
evil
is
for
good
men
to
do
nothing.
So,
as
a
police
officer,
I
have
some
urgent
things
to
say
to
good
people.
Day
after
day
my
men
and
I
struggle
to
____31____
an
epidemic
of
crimes.
Something
has
gone
terribly
wrong
with
our
once-proud
American
way
of
life.
It
has
happened
in
the
area
of
values.
A
significant
____32____
is
disappearing,
and
I
think
I
know
what
it
is:
accountability.
Accountability
isn’t
hard
to
define.
It
means
that
every
person
is
responsible
for
his
or
her
actions
and
liable
for
their
consequences.
Of
the
many
values
that
hold
civilization
together
---
honesty,
kindness,
and
so
on
---
accountability
may
be
the
most
important
of
all.
Without
it,
there
can
be
no
respect,
no
trust,
no
law
---
and,
ultimately,
no
society.
My
job
as
a
police
officer
is
to
____33____
accountability
on
people
who
refuse,
or
have
never
learned,
to
oblige
themselves
to
do
so.
But
as
every
policeman
knows,
external
controls
on
people’s
behavior
are
far
less
effective
than
internal
restraints
such
as
guilt,
shame
and
embarrassment.
Fortunately
there
are
still
communities
---
smaller
towns,
usually
---
where
schools
maintain
discipline
and
where
parents
hold
up
standards
that
declare:
“In
this
family
certain
things
are
not
____34____
---
they
simply
are
not
done!”
Yet
more
and
more,
especially
in
our
larger
cities
and
suburbs,
these
inner
restraints
are
____35____.
Your
typical
robber
has
none.
He
considers
your
property
his
property;
he
takes
what
he
wants,
including
your
life
if
you
____36____
him.
The
main
cause
of
this
breakdown
is
a
radical
shift
in
____37____.
Thirty
years
ago,
if
a
crime
was
committed,
society
was
considered
the
victim.
Now,
in
a
shocking
reversal,
it’s
the
criminal
who
is
considered
victimized:
by
his
underprivileged
upbringing,
by
the
school
that
didn’t
teach
him
to
read,
by
the
church
that
failed
to
reach
him
with
____38____
guidance,
by
the
parents
who
didn’t
provide
a
stable
home.
I
don’t
believe
it.
Many
others
in
equally
____39____
circumstances
choose
not
to
engage
in
criminal
activities.
If
we
free
the
criminal,
even
partly,
from
accountability,
we
become
a
society
of
endless
____40____
where
no
one
accepts
responsibility
for
anything.
We
in
America
desperately
need
more
people
who
believe
that
the
person
who
commits
a
crime
is
the
one
responsible
for
it.
IV.
Cloze
test
(30’)
(A)
The
continuous
presentation
of
frightening
stories
about
global
warming
in
the
popular
media
makes
us
unnecessarily
frightened.
Even
worse,
it
____41____
our
kids.
Al
Gore
famously
____42____
how
a
sea-level
rise
of
20
feet
would
almost
completely
flood
Florida,
New
York,
Holland,
and
Shanghai,
even
though
the
United
Nations
says
that
such
a
thing
will
not
even
happen,
____43____
that
sea
levels
will
rise
20
times
less
than
that.
When
____44____
with
these
exaggerations,
some
of
us
say
that
they
are
for
a
good
cause,
and
surely
there
is
no
harm
done
if
the
result
is
that
we
focus
even
more
on
handling
climate
change.
This
____45____
is
astonishingly
wrong.
Such
exaggerations
do
plenty
of
harm.
Worrying
excessively
about
global
warming
means
that
we
worry
less
about
other
things,
where
we
could
do
so
much
more
good.
We
focus,
____46____,
on
global
warming's
impact
on
malaria
(疟疾)----which
will
put
slightly
more
people
at
____47____in
100
years
-
instead
of
dealing
with
the
half
a
billion
people
____48____
from
malaria
today
with
prevention
and
treatment
policies
that
are
much
cheaper
and
dramatically
more
effective
than
carbon
reduction
would
be.
Exaggeration
also
wears
out
the
public's
____49____
to
cope
with
global
warming.
If
the
planet
is
certain
to
be
destroyed
owing
to
global
warming,
people
wonder,
why
do
anything?
A
record
54%
of
American
voters
now
believe
the
news
media
make
global
warming
appear
worse
than
it
really
is.
A
____50____
of
people
now
believe
–
incorrectly
–
that
global
warming
is
not
even
caused
by
humans.
But
the
____51____
cost
of
exaggeration,
I
believe,
is
the
unnecessary
alarm
that
it
causes
–
particularly
among
children.
An
article
in
The
Washington
Post
cited
nine-year-old
Alyssa,
who
cries
about
the
possibility
of
mass
animal
____52____
from
global
warming.
The
newspaper
also
reported
that
parents
are
____53____
effective
outlets
for
their
eight-year-olds'
concern
with
dying
polar
bears.
They
might
be
better
off
educating
them
and
letting
them
know
that,
____54____
to
common
belief,
the
global
polar
bear
population
has
doubled
over
the
past
half-
century,
to
about
22,000.

not
become
extinct.

Residents
of
urban
areas
often
make
use
of
public
transportation
on
their
way
to
school
or
the
office.
But
when
their
final
____56____
isn’t
near
a
bus
stop
or
subway
station,
those
folks
have
a
problem.
Transportation
experts
often
____57____
to
this
as
the
“last
mile”
problem
—
finding
a
way
to
close
the
gap
between
public
transportation
stops
and
one’s
destination.
With
the
last
mile
problem
in
mind,
the
makers
of
the
URB-E
____58____
a
compact
electric
vehicle
that
weighs
around
13
kilograms.
Unlike
bikes,
which
often
don’t
fit
on
crowded
buses
or
trains,
the
URB-E
collapses
into
a
form
____59____
to
carry-on
luggage.
And
since
the
URB-E
can
be
carried
____60____
anywhere,
it’s
not
as
vulnerable
to
thieves
as
bikes
are.
Depending
on
usage,
the
URB-E
can
travel
for
32
kilometers
on
a
single
____61____,
reaching
a
top
speed
of
24
kilometers
per
hour.
Although
there
are
other
vehicles
attempting
to
____62____
the
last
mile
issue,
the
URB-E
____63____
for
its
ease
of
use,
portability
and
affordable
price.
For
the
price
of
a
nice
laptop,
you
could
have
an
URB-E
to
drive
to
the
office.
The
URB-E
is
made
from
aircraft-grade
aluminum
and
comes
in
two
basic
models:
the
URB-E
Commuter
and
the
URB-E
GP.
The
main
____64____
between
the
two
is
that
the
Commuter
model
has
two
rear
wheels
while
the
GP
has
only
one.
That
means
the
Commuter
offers
greater
stability,
as
_____65_____
to
the
GP’s
ability
to
make
sharper
turns
like
a
bicycle.
Both
models
come
with
accessories
_____66_____
LED
front
and
rear
lights
and
a
shock-absorbing
seat.
They
also
_____67_____
a
smartphone
holder
and
USB
charging
port
right
on
the
steering
column.
In
fact,
smartphones
play
a
big
role
in
the
URB-E
app
to
do
things
like
monitor
battery
charge
or
control
the
lights.
_____68_____
accessories
include
a
cup
holder
and
a
folding
luggage
shelf.
At
this
year’s
international
Consumer
Electronic
Show
(CES)
in
Las
Vegas
tech
website
The
Verge
awarded
the
URB-E
with
its
“Best
Personal
Transportation”
award.
Singing
the
URB-E’s
_____69_____,
Verge
editor
Ben
Popper
said,
“The
URB-E
felt
like
the
kind
of
vehicle
an
enlightened
citizen
of
2030
would
own.”
So
why
wait
that
long,
when
the
URB-E
is

Reading
Comprehension
(30’)
(A)
After
bouncing
my
rental
car
across
several
miles
of
red-dirt
roads
I
walked
for
nearly
another
mile
down
the
beach
to
a
deserted
valley.
It
was
comforting
to
think
that
at
the
very
least
I
was
finally
out
of
cell-phone
range.
However,
even
on
Kauai,
Hawaii’s
‘Garden
Island’,
complete
escape
wasn’t
all
that
easy
to
achieve.
Noisy
helicopters
full
of
tourists
flew
overhead
like
so
many
dragonflies.
Every
20
minutes
or
so
the
comforting
sounds
of
wind
and
water
were
broken
by
the
noise
of
a
speeding
tour
boat
racing
to
complete
another
lap
around
the
island.
Worst
of
all,
not
more
than
five
minutes
by
car
from
the
resort
where
I
was
staying,
the
Atomic
Clock
Internet
Café
signaled
with
promises
of
instant
email.
I
felt
uncomfortable
every
time
I
drove
by
the
Atomic
Clock
Café.
I
am
a
technology
reporter
for
an
online
magazine—my
life
is
driven
and
dominated
by
email.
I’m
drowned
in
it,
usually
400
or
500
messages
a
day.
The
main
reason
for
my
visit
to
Kauai
was
to
unplug,
disconnect,
log
off,
and
get
away
from
it
all.
No
cell
phone,
no
electronic
organiser,
no
laptop.
And
definitely,
no
email.
Yes,
my
plan
was
to
lie
on
the
beach
and
not
check
my
email.
My
friends
and
family
were
outraged
as
they
could
not
understand
how
I
could
bear
to
live
without
email.
But
they
didn’t
understand.
In
my
job,
I
am
online,
permanently.
Cyberspace
is
more
familiar
to
me
than
my
backyard.
While
I
am
awake,
my
email
is
always
on.
I
don’t
like
to
be
without
it
for
too
long.
A
few
hours
away
from
it,
and
I
start
to
tremble.
I
am,
however,
no
stranger
to
beaches
and
their
relaxing
qualities
and
so
I
knew,
even
when
arriving
well
after
dark
at
the
comfortable
cottage
in
the
town
of
Waimea,
that
the
island
of
Kauai
gave
me
a
good
chance
of
beating
my
addiction
to
electronic
devices.
Maybe
it
was
full
moon
lighting
the
black-sand
beach
not
10
metres
from
my
door.
Or
the
mango
trees
casting
shadows
across
the
veranda
(
阳
台
).
Or
the
driftwood
piled
in
loose
heaps
for
as
far
as
I
could
see
along
the
shore.
Without
question,
the
long,
slow
sound
of
the
waves
rolling
in
calmed
my
restless
soul,
and
I
found
I
could,
in
fact,
log
off.

When
Liam
McGee
departed
as
president
of
Bank
of
America
in
August,
his
explanation
was
surprisingly
straight
up.
Rather
than
cloaking
his
exit
in
the
usual
vague
excuse,
he
came
right
out
and
said
he
was
leaving
“to
pursue
my
goal
of
running
a
company.”
Broadcasting
his
ambition
was
“very
much
my
decision,”
McGee
says.
Within
two
weeks,
he
was
talking
for
the
first
time
with
the
board
of
Hartford
Financial
Services
Group,
which
named
him
CEO
and
chairman
on
September
29.
McGee
says
leaving
without
a
position
lined
up
gave
him
time
to
reflect
on
what
kinds
of
company
he
wanted
to
run.
It
also
sent
a
clear
message
to
the
outside
world
about
his
aspirations.
And
McGee
isn’t
alone.
In
recent
weeks
the
No.
2
executives
at
Avon
and
American
Express
quit
with
the
explanation
that
they
were
looking
for
a
CEO
post.
As
boards
scrutinize
succession
plans
in
response
to
shareholder
pressure,
executives
who
don’t
get
the
nod
also
may
wish
to
move
on.
A
turbulent
business
environment
also
has
senior
managers
cautious
of
letting
vague
pronouncements
cloud
their
reputations.
As
the
first
signs
of
recovery
begin
to
take
hold,
deputy
chiefs
may
be
more
willing
to
make
the
jump
without
a
net.
In
the
third
quarter,
CEO
turnover
was
down
23%
from
a
year
ago
as
nervous
boards
stuck
with
the
leaders
they
had,
according
to
Liberum
Research.
As
the
economy
picks
up,
opportunities
will
abound
for
aspiring
leaders.
The
decision
to
quit
a
senior
position
to
look
for
a
better
one
is
unconventional.
For
years
executives
and
headhunters
have
adhered
to
the
rule
that
the
most
attractive
CEO
candidates
are
the
ones
who
must
be
poached.
Says
Korn
Ferry,
senior
partner
Dennis
Carey:
“I
can’t
think
of
a
single
search
I’ve
done
where
a
board
has
not
instructed
me
to
look
at
sitting
CEOs
first.”
Those
who
jumped
without
a
job
haven’t
always
landed
in
top
positions
quickly.
Ellen
Marram
quit
as
chief
of
Tropicana
when
the
business
became
part
of
PepsiCo
(PEP)
a
decade
ago,
saying
she
wanted
to
be
a
CEO.
It
was
a
year
before
she
became
head
of
a
tiny
internet-based
commodities
exchange.
Robert
Willemstad
left
Citigroup
in
2005
with
ambitions
to
be
a
CEO.
He
finally
took
that
post
at
a
major
financial
institution
three
years
later.
Many
recruiters
say
the
old
disgrace
is
fading
for
top
performers.
The
financial
crisis
has
made
it
more
acceptable
to
be
between
jobs
or
to
leave
a
bad
one.
“The
traditional
rule
was
it’s
safer
to
stay
where
you
are,
but
that’s
been
fundamentally
inverted,”
says
one
headhunter.
“The
people
who’ve
been
hurt
the
worst
are
those
who’ve
stayed
too
long.”
78.
When
McGee
announced
his
departure
his
manner
can
best
be
described
as
being
_______.
A.
arrogant.
B.
frank.
C.
self-centered.
D.
impulsive.
79.
According
to
Paragraph
2,
senior
executives’
quitting
may
be
encouraged
by
_______.
A.
their
expectation
of
better
financial
status
B.
their
need
to
reflect
on
their
private
life
C.
their
strained
relations
with
the
boards
D.
their
pursuit
of
new
career
goals
80.
It
can
be
inferred
from
the

that
_______.
A.
top

to
cling
to

B.
loyalty
of
top

is

C.
top

Have
you
ever
heard
of
Big
Data
or
are
you
familiar
with
Data
Scientists
and
Data
Engineers?
They
are
probably
new
job
titles,
but
the
core
job
roles
have
been
around
for
a
while.
Traditionally,
anyone
who
analyzed
data
would
be
called
a
“data
analyst”
and
anyone
who
created
backend
platforms
to
support
data
analysis
would
be
a
“Business
intelligence
(BI)
Developer”.
_______82_______
Here’s
an
overview
of
the
roles
of
the
Data
Analyst,
BI
Developer,
Data
Scientist
and
Data
Engineer.
Data
Analysts
are
experienced
data
professionals
in
their
organization
who
can
question
and
process
data,
provide
reports,
summarize
and
visualize
data.
They
have
a
strong
understanding
of
how
to
influence
existing
tools
and
methods
to
solve
a
problem.
______83______.
However,
they
are
not
expected
to
deal
with
analyzing
big
data,
nor
are
they
typically
expected
to
have
the
mathematical
or
research
background
to
develop
new
algorithms
for
specific
problems.
Skills:
Data
Analysts
need
to
have
a
baseline
understanding
of
some
core
skills:
statistics,
data
munging,
data
visualization,
exploratory
data
analysis,
Tools:
Microsoft
Excel,
SPSS,
SPSS
Modeler,
SAS,
SAS
Miner,
SQL,
Microsoft
Access,
Tableau,

Wasting
Food
is
Still
a
Big
Problem
China
is
famous
for
its
delicious
food,
and
there
are
so
many
different
dishes
to
try
here.
But
many
of
us
take
this
granted
and
throw
away
the
extra
food
we
don’t
eat.
According
to
a
report
released
by
the
United
Nations,
there
were
815
million
undernourished
people
in
the
world
in
2018,
more
than
one
in
every
10
on
Earth.
Yet,
1.3
billion
tons
of
food
______1______
(waste)
annually
around
the
world,
which
is
about
one-third
of
all
food
produced
each
year,
according
to
the
UN’s
Food
and
Agriculture
Organization.
To
get
______2______
better
understanding
of
different
countries’
food
waste
problems,
the
Economist
intelligence
Unit
recently
surveyed
34
nations
according
to
their
food
system
sustainability.
According
to
the
report,
_____3_____
was
released
this
month,
France
topped
the
list
of
food
sustainability,
followed
by
Japan
and
Germany.
The
performance
of
these
countries
is
largely
related
to
their
policies
to
deal
with
food
waste.
For
example,
France
was
the
first
country
______4______(pass)
laws
to
ban
food
waste.
In
France,
it’s
illegal
for
supermarkets
to
throw
away
unsold
food,
and
French
restaurants
___5___
provide
doggy
bags
for
people’s
leftovers.
Germany
is
trying
to
deal
with
the
problem
by
reforming
expiration
dates.
“We
found
in
our
study
that
many
people
believed
they
should
throw
away
products
___6___
the
“best
before’
date
has
expired,”
Martin
Kranert,
chair
of
Stuttgart
University’s
waste
management
department,
told
Deutsche
Welle.
“This
is
not
at
all
case,
and
such
a
persisting
lack
of
knowledge
is
the
first
thing
_____7_____
has
to
change.”
Some
countries
are
still
lagging
behind
when
it
comes
to
_____8_____
(prevent)
food
waste,
however.
For
example,
the
Untied
Arab
Emirates
wastes
the
most
food,
with
each
of
its
citizens
______9______
(throw)
away
about
1,000
kilograms
every
year
on
average.
China
has
been
working
hard
to
reduce
food
waste.
In
early
2013,
the
country’s
Clean
Your
Plate
Campaign
was
Launched,
urging
people
not
to
waste
anything
on
their
plate.
“
_______10_______
consumers
are
more
conscious
of
the
amount
of
food
waste
they
generate
and
everyone
plays
a
role
in
minimizing
their
personal
food
waste,
then
we
can
do
better
as
a
community,”
said
Joyce
Chan
from
the
Foodlink

a
Hong
Kong
charity
dedicated
to
reducing
food
waste.

这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了当今社会浪费仍然是一个严重的问题。
【1题详解】
考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意:然而,根据联合国粮食和农业组织的数据,每年全世界有13亿吨食物被浪费,约占每年生产的所有食物的三分之一。此处陈述客观事实,需用一般现在时,主语food和waste为被动关系,主语为不可数名词,谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。故填is
wasted。
【2题详解】
考查冠词。句意:为了更好地了解不同国家的食物浪费问题,经济学人智库最近调查了34个国家的食物系统可持续性。get

report,指物,在定语从句中作主语,需用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【4题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:例如,法国是第一个通过法律禁止食物浪费的国家。分析句子结构,was为谓语动词,设空处需填非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰名词country,因为country前面有the
first修饰,需用动词不定式作定语。故填to
pass。
【5题详解】
考查情态动词。句意:在法国,超市扔掉未售出的食物是违法的,法国餐馆必须提供打包袋来打包人们剩下的食物。根据it’s
illegal可知,此处表示“餐馆必须提供打包袋”,此处需填情态动词must/shall。故填must/shall。
【6题详解】
考查状语从句。句意:斯图加特大学废物管理系主任Martin
Kranert告诉德国之声:“我们在研究中发现,许多人认为只要‘最好的’产品过期,他们就应该扔掉。”结合语境,此处表示“只要”,as
long
as意为“只要”,引导条件状语从句。故填as
long
as。
【7题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:“根本不是这样,这种长期缺乏知识是必须改变的第一件事。”分析句子结构,设空处引导定语从句,先行词thing指物,在定语从句中作主语,先行词前面有the
first修饰,需用关系代词that引导。故填that。
【8题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:然而,在防止食物浪费方面,一些国家仍然落后。分析句子结构,when
it
comes
to
doing为固定句型,设空处需填动名词作宾语。故填preventing。
【9题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:例如,没有束缚的阿拉伯酋长国浪费的食物最多,平均每人每年扔掉大约1000公斤。分析句子结构,“with+宾语+宾语补足语”为固定结构,citizen和throw为主谓关系,需用现在分词作宾语补足语。故填throwing。
【10题详解】
考查状语从句。句意:Joyce
Chan说:“如果消费者更加关注自己产生的食物浪费,每个人都在尽量减少个人食物浪费方面发挥作用,那么我们整个社会就能做得更好。”结合语境可知,设空处需填“如果”,引导条件状语从句,if意为“如果”,位于句首,首字母需大写。故填If。
(B)

The
postponement
of
the
2020

for
a
year
has
raised
concerns
over
a
_______11_______(reduce)
marketing
period
for
the
Beijing

but
analysts
believe
the
impact
will
be
limited.
The

the
Olympic
marketing
period
for
the
Beijing
Winter

---
______14______(hold)

---
by
a

Ren
Hai,
a
professor
at
the
Olympic
Research
Center
of
the
Beijing
Sports
University,
claimed
on
Tuesday,
"There
will
of
course
be
an
impact,
but
I
think
the
impact
will
be
limited,
as
the
Summer
Olympics
and
Winter
Olympics
are
different
in
terms
of
sports
and
disciplines,"
Ren
said.
"Historically,
the
two
different
Olympics
______15______(host)
very
close
together."
Ren
was
referring
to
the
period
from
1924
to
1992,
_____16_____
both
the
Winter
and
Summer
Olympics
were
held
in
the
same
year.
He
Wenyi,
executive
director
of
the
China
Institute
for
Sports
Value,
Peking
University,
said
the
reason
_____17_____
the
limited
impact
on
Winter
Olympics
marketing
is
that
China
has
relatively
few
winter
sports
stars.
China
has
won
224
gold
medals
in
the
Summer
Olympics
since
1980,
compared
with
only
13
champions
in
the
Winter
Games.
The
last
Winter

in
Pyeongchang,
South
Korea,
saw
China
_____18_____(bag)
only
one
gold
medal,
in
short
track

Olympics
sports
are
widely
popular
in
China
while
winter
sports
are
yet
to
enjoy
the
same
kind
of
popularity,
though
the
country
has
vowed
to
get
300
million
people
to
participate
in
winter
sports
by
the
year
2022.
"But
the
promotional

_____19_____(affect),
as
the
novel
coronavirus

【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇新闻报道,讲述了由于新型冠状病毒的流行,东京2020年奥运会不得不推迟一年举行,引发了人们对2022年北京冬奥会营销周期缩短的担忧,不过中国体育界专家认为影响不大。
【11题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:2020年东京奥运会推迟一年引发了人们对2022年北京冬奥会营销周期缩短的担忧。分析句子可知谓语动词为has
raised,可知提示词reduce在此处作非谓语,结合设空后的名词marketing
period,可知此处需要定语,并且reduce与之构成逻辑上的被动关系,所以将动词reduce改为非谓语动词reduced,表被动,修饰marketing
period,故填reduced。
【12题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:2020年东京奥运会的赞助收入已经超过31亿美元,但由于2019冠状病毒病的流行,奥运会的举办时间被改到了2021年的7月23日到8月8日。分析句子可知这是一个定语从句,空后名词sponsorship
revenue
(赞助收入)与先行词The
Tokyo
2020
Olympics(东京2020年奥运会)构成所属关系,故填whose。
【13题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:将于2022年2月举行的北京冬奥会的奥运营销周期缩短一年。分析句子可知short在此处作非谓语,逻辑主语为前文提到的“奥运会的举办时间被改到了2021年的7月23日到8月8日”这件事,构成主动关系,所以用现在分词形式作结果状语,故填shortening。
【14题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:将于2022年2月举行的北京冬奥会的奥运营销周期缩短一年。分析句子可知hold在此处作非谓语,根据时间状语in
February
2022(在2022年2
月),可知时态为将来时,hold(举行)与主语the
Beijing
Winter
Olympics
(北京冬奥会)之间是被动关系,故填to
be
held。
【15题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:从历史上看,这两届不同的奥运会举办的时间非常接近。分析句子可知此处缺谓语动词,主语为the
two
different
Olympics,复数,host(举行)与主语构成被动关系,应使用被动语态,根据Historically(从历史上看)可知时态为一般过去时,故填were
hosted。
【16题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:Ren指的是1924年到1992年这段时间,在这期间同年举办了冬季奥运会和夏季奥运会。分析句子可知这是一个定语从句,先行词为
the
period
from
1924
to
1992(1924年到1992年期间),表示时间,从句成分意义完整,缺少时间状语,所以使用when引导从句,故填when。
【17题详解】
考查介词。句意:北京大学中国体育价值研究院执行主任何文义表示,冬奥会营销影响有限的原因是中国的冬季运动明星相对较少。短语the
reason
for表示“...的原因”,符合句意,故填for。
【18题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:在上一届韩国平昌冬奥会上,中国只在短道速滑项目上获得了一枚金牌。see
sb
do
sth表示看到某人做某事,bag
可作动词意为“猎获;把…装入袋中;得分”,符合句意,故填bag。
【19题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:但2022年北京冬奥会的宣传活动不太可能受到影响。短语be
likely
to
do
sth表示很有可能做...;所以affect在此处作非谓语,与逻辑主语
the
promotional
events
构成被动关系,故填to
be
affected。
【20题详解】
考查副词。句意:何文义说,病毒的传播可能会导致全球体育赞助方式的改变。分析句子可知此处是介词in后接宾语从句,从句缺少方式状语,所以使用how引导从句,表示“怎么、然后”,故填how。
【点睛】语法填空对动词的考查较多,动词的形式变化比较多,有谓语的变化(时态、语态、主谓一致),有非谓语的变化(不定式、动名词、现在分词、过去分词)。针对考查动词的题型,首先应判断句子是否已经存在谓语,若有谓语则考查非谓语动词,若无则考查谓语动词;第3小题分析句子可知,
has
been
rescheduled是谓语,short在此处作非谓语,逻辑主语为前文提到的“奥运会的举办时间被改到了2021年的7月23日到8月8日”这件事,构成主动关系,所以用现在分词形式作结果状语,故填shortening。判断好考查的方向再进行相应的考点对应,结合语境和句子要求解题。

flooding
Russian
cities
for
the
World
Cup
are
expected
to
provide
a(n)
_____21_____
boost
to
the
country’s
economy.
However,
the
influx
has
proved
difficult
for
some
host
cities
to

_____22_____
visitors.
In
the
city
of
Samara,
where
England
will
play
Sweden
on
Saturday
in
a
quarterfinal
match,
water
pressure
is
decreasing
due
to
a(n)
_____23_____
in
customers.
In
response,
the
city
utility
company
has
offered
an
unusual

to
mitigate(缓解)
the
low

The
proposal
by
the
city’s
water
system
authorities
was
_____24_____

simple
statement.
“Save
water,
take
showers
in
pairs,”
the
company
said,
accompanying
its
______25______
with

smiley
face.
The
Moscow
Times
reported
the
water

have
increased

in
recent

but
the
utility

is
still
trying

_____26_____
residents
about
the

placed

the
water
service.
Rather
than
trying

change
the

has
asked

“Thousands

the

on
Wednesday.
The

has
also
experienced
a

【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇新闻报道。报道了由于游客涌入俄罗斯城市观看球赛,造成俄罗斯城市接待的困难。
【21题详解】
考查形容词。句意:涌入俄罗斯城市参加世界杯的大批游客预计将暂时提振该国经济。由句意可知,大批游客涌入将对经济有个暂时的提升。temporary“暂时的;临时的”为形容词,修饰名词boost(提高)。故填temporary。
【22题详解】
考查动词。句意:然而,对于一些主办城市来说,很难容纳大批涌入的游客。由句意可知,大批游客涌入,使主办城市难以容纳这些游客。accommodate“容纳;使适应;”为动词,此处结构for
somebody
to
do
something,to是不定式符号,其后用动词原形。故填accommodate。
【23题详解】
考查名词。句意:在Samara市,英格兰队将在周六对阵瑞典队的四分之一决赛中,由于顾客的增加,水压正在下降。根据上文“大量游客涌入”可知,由于顾客的增加,水压下降。increase“增加”,此处为名词作为介词to的宾语。故填increase。
【24题详解】
考查动词过去分词。句意:城市供水系统管理部门的提议,是以简单的声明形式发表的。由句意可知,提议是被发表的。deliver“表达;发表”为动词,被动结构:be+过去分词。故填delivered。
【25题详解】
考查名词。句意:“节约用水,两人一组洗澡,”该公司在发布建议的同时还附上了一个笑脸。由句意可知,“节约用水”是该公司发布的建议。recommendation“建议”为名词,作为accompany的宾语。故填recommendation。
【26题详解】
考查动词。句意:《莫斯科时报》报道称,水务部门最近几天增加了产量,以补充游客的需求,但公用事业公司仍在试图警告居民供水服务所承受的压力。由句意可知,虽然水产量增加了,但是还要警告居民仍有用水压力。alert“警告”为动词,根据try
to
do
something“努力做某事”可知用动词原形。故填alert。
【27题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:水务局并没有试图改变游客的习惯,而是要求当地人改变他们的日常习惯。由前文“…change
the
habits
of
visitors”(改变游客的习惯)可知,后文是指当地人的日常“习惯”。practice“习惯”为可数名词,单复数保持逻辑一致,此处用复数。故填practices。
【28题详解】
考查动词现在分词。句意:该市成千上万的游客,他们也消耗水资源,正在促成水用量的增加。由句意可知,游客增多促成了水用量增加。contribute“贡献;促成等”为动词,此处为“促成”意,现在进行时的结构是be+动词现在分词。故填contributing。
【29题详解】
考查名词。句意:城市经历了炎热天气,增加了比赛期间对水的需求。由前文“a
heat
wave”(天气炎热)可知,用水需求增加。demand“需求”,此处为名词,作为increase的宾语。故填demand。
【30题详解】
考查动词过去式。句意:来城市采访报道比赛的记者们记录了水龙头流出的变色和棕色的水。分析句子结构可知,“Journalists”是句子主语,“who
visited
the
city
to
report
on
the
games”为定语从句,由句意可知,记者记载了水的问题。document“记载”为动词,和前文时态一致,需用过去式。故填documented。
【点睛】语言学习,字词句篇。不能孤立地记单词,要在句子,篇章里面学习。

A
wise
man
once
said
that
the
only
thing
necessary
for
the
victory
of
evil
is
for
good
men
to
do
nothing.
So,
as
a
police
officer,
I
have
some
urgent
things
to
say
to
good
people.
Day
after
day
my
men
and
I
struggle
to
____31____
an
epidemic
of
crimes.
Something
has
gone
terribly
wrong
with
our
once-proud
American
way
of
life.
It
has
happened
in
the
area
of
values.
A
significant
____32____
is
disappearing,
and
I
think
I
know
what
it
is:
accountability.
Accountability
isn’t
hard
to
define.
It
means
that
every
person
is
responsible
for
his
or
her
actions
and
liable
for
their
consequences.
Of
the
many
values
that
hold
civilization
together
---
honesty,
kindness,
and
so
on
---
accountability
may
be
the
most
important
of
all.
Without
it,
there
can
be
no
respect,
no
trust,
no
law
---
and,
ultimately,
no
society.
My
job
as
a
police
officer
is
to
____33____
accountability
on
people
who
refuse,
or
have
never
learned,
to
oblige
themselves
to
do
so.
But
as
every
policeman
knows,
external
controls
on
people’s
behavior
are
far
less
effective
than
internal
restraints
such
as
guilt,
shame
and
embarrassment.
Fortunately
there
are
still
communities
---
smaller
towns,
usually
---
where
schools
maintain
discipline
and
where
parents
hold
up
standards
that
declare:
“In
this
family
certain
things
are
not
____34____
---
they
simply
are
not
done!”
Yet
more
and
more,
especially
in
our
larger
cities
and
suburbs,
these
inner
restraints
are
____35____.
Your
typical
robber
has
none.
He
considers
your
property
his
property;
he
takes
what
he
wants,
including
your
life
if
you
____36____
him.
The
main
cause
of
this
breakdown
is
a
radical
shift
in
____37____.
Thirty
years
ago,
if
a
crime
was
committed,
society
was
considered
the
victim.
Now,
in
a
shocking
reversal,
it’s
the
criminal
who
is
considered
victimized:
by
his
underprivileged
upbringing,
by
the
school
that
didn’t
teach
him
to
read,
by
the
church
that
failed
to
reach
him
with
____38____
guidance,
by
the
parents
who
didn’t
provide
a
stable
home.
I
don’t
believe
it.
Many
others
in
equally
____39____
circumstances
choose
not
to
engage
in
criminal
activities.
If
we
free
the
criminal,
even
partly,
from
accountability,
we
become
a
society
of
endless
____40____
where
no
one
accepts
responsibility
for
anything.
We
in
America
desperately
need
more
people
who
believe
that
the
person
who
commits
a
crime
is
the
one
responsible
for
it.

【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇议论文。本文从一名警察的角度分析了美国社会中犯罪活动猖獗的原因。在美国,迫切需要更多人相信,一个人犯了罪应该为其承担责任,责任感的缺失和人们自我约束力的松散助长了犯罪的发生,作者认为对纪律和标准的坚持才是遏制犯罪的主要手段并呼吁人们更加自律,重视责任感的价值。
【31题详解】
考查动词。句意:日复一日,我和我的同伴努力遏制犯罪的蔓延。这里说的是警察的职责,struggle
to
do,努力做某事,此处需要填动词原形,contain意为遏制,符合句意,故选contain。
【32题详解】
考查名词。句意:一个重要的因素正在消失,我想我知道它是什么:责任。根据前文“Something
has
gone
terribly
wrong
with
our
once-proud
American
way
of
life.
(我们曾经引以为傲的美国生活方式出现了严重的问题。)”可知美国一个重要的因素正在消失,ingredient意为“因素”,符合句意,故选ingredient。
【33题详解】
考查动词。句意:作为一名警察,我的工作就是对那些拒绝或从未学会强迫自己这样做的人负责。根据句子主语My
job
as
a
police
officer
可知,警察的职责就是将责任强加到不愿意承担责任的人身上,impose意为强加、迫使,故选impose。
【34题详解】
考查动词。句意:在这个家庭里,有些事情是不能容忍的——它们就是不能做!根据前面的句子“where
schools
maintain
discipline
and
where
parents
hold
up
standards(哪里的学校维持纪律,哪里的父母机就会维持标准)”可知,在学校有规则,父母在家给孩子制定了规矩,那么一些事情是不容许做的,tolerate意为容忍、容许,用的是被动语态,此处需要填过去分词,故选tolerated。
【35题详解】
考查动词。句意:但在越来越多的地方,特别是在大城市和郊区,这些内心的束缚正在失去。根据Yet可知,这句话的内容与前面是相反的,即越来越多的地方,这些内在的约束正在消减,loosing意为松动、放宽,用的是现在进行时,此处需要填现在分词,故选loosing。
【36题详解】
考查动词。句意:如果你激怒了他,他会拿走他想要的,包括你的生命。根据前面的句子“He
considers
your
property
his
property;
he
takes
what
he
wants(他认为你的财产就是他的财产;他拿走他想要的,包括你的命)”可知,如果你激怒了他,他甚至连你的生命也不顾惜。anger用作动词,意为惹恼、使生气,故选anger。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:这种社会崩塌的主要原因是人们态度的根本转变。根据“The
main
cause
of
this
breakdown
is
a
radical
shift(这种社会崩塌的主要原因是一种根本性的转变)
”可知,这种责任制的滑坡主要原因是宗教态度上的变化,即理想信念的动摇,所以使用attitude,意为态度,此处用复数表泛指,故选attitudes。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意:教会没有给予他道德上的指导。根据“by
the
school
that
didn’t
teach
him
to
read(不教他读书的学校)”和“by
the
parents
who
didn’t
provide
a
stable
home.(因为父母没有提供稳定的家庭。)”可知,学校和父母都没有尽到应有的职责,那么该空指的是教堂也没有教育他礼节规范。moral意为道德上的,故选moral。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意:我不相信。许多同样处于不利地位的其他人选择不从事犯罪活动。“I
don’t
believe
it.”表明了作者的态度和看法,那么本句说明的是在同样不良的环境下许多人还是不会犯罪的,disadvantaged意为不良的、有缺陷的,故选disadvantaged。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:如果我们免除罪犯的责任,即使是部分免除责任,我们的社会就会充斥着各种借口,没有人愿意为任何事情承担责任。此处强调的是纵容犯罪的后果,如果我们纵容犯罪我们的社会就会充斥着各种借口,excuses意为理由(借口),此处用复数表泛指,故选excuses。

Cloze
test
(30’)
(A)
The
continuous
presentation
of
frightening
stories
about
global
warming
in
the
popular
media
makes
us
unnecessarily
frightened.
Even
worse,
it
____41____
our
kids.
Al
Gore
famously
____42____
how
a
sea-level
rise
of
20
feet
would
almost
completely
flood
Florida,
New
York,
Holland,
and
Shanghai,
even
though
the
United
Nations
says
that
such
a
thing
will
not
even
happen,
____43____
that
sea
levels
will
rise
20
times
less
than
that.
When
____44____
with
these
exaggerations,
some
of
us
say
that
they
are
for
a
good
cause,
and
surely
there
is
no
harm
done
if
the
result
is
that
we
focus
even
more
on
handling
climate
change.
This
____45____
is
astonishingly
wrong.
Such
exaggerations
do
plenty
of
harm.
Worrying
excessively
about
global
warming
means
that
we
worry
less
about
other
things,
where
we
could
do
so
much
more
good.
We
focus,
____46____,
on
global
warming's
impact
on
malaria
(疟疾)----which
will
put
slightly
more
people
at
____47____in
100
years
-
instead
of
dealing
with
the
half
a
billion
people
____48____
from
malaria
today
with
prevention
and
treatment
policies
that
are
much
cheaper
and
dramatically
more
effective
than
carbon
reduction
would
be.
Exaggeration
also
wears
out
the
public's
____49____
to
cope
with
global
warming.
If
the
planet
is
certain
to
be
destroyed
owing
to
global
warming,
people
wonder,
why
do
anything?
A
record
54%
of
American
voters
now
believe
the
news
media
make
global
warming
appear
worse
than
it
really
is.
A
____50____
of
people
now
believe
–
incorrectly
–
that
global
warming
is
not
even
caused
by
humans.
But
the
____51____
cost
of
exaggeration,
I
believe,
is
the
unnecessary
alarm
that
it
causes
–
particularly
among
children.
An

their
eight-year-olds'
concern
with
dying
polar

They
might
be

Residents
of
urban
areas
often
make
use
of
public
transportation
on
their
way
to
school
or
the
office.
But
when
their
final
____56____
isn’t
near
a
bus
stop
or
subway
station,
those
folks
have
a
problem.
Transportation
experts
often
____57____
to
this
as
the
“last
mile”
problem
—
finding
a
way
to
close
the
gap
between
public
transportation
stops
and
one’s
destination.
With
the
last
mile
problem
in
mind,
the
makers
of
the
URB-E
____58____
a
compact
electric
vehicle
that
weighs
around
13
kilograms.
Unlike
bikes,
which
often
don’t
fit
on
crowded
buses
or
trains,
the
URB-E
collapses
into
a
form
____59____
to
carry-on
luggage.
And
since
the
URB-E
can
be
carried
____60____
anywhere,
it’s
not
as
vulnerable
to
thieves
as
bikes
are.
Depending
on
usage,
the
URB-E
can
travel
for
32
kilometers
on
a
single
____61____,
reaching
a
top
speed
of
24
kilometers
per
hour.
Although
there
are
other
vehicles
attempting
to
____62____
the
last
mile
issue,
the
URB-E
____63____
for
its
ease
of
use,
portability
and
affordable
price.
For
the
price
of
a
nice
laptop,
you
could
have
an
URB-E
to
drive
to
the
office.
The
URB-E
is
made
from
aircraft-grade
aluminum
and
comes
in
two
basic
models:
the
URB-E
Commuter
and
the
URB-E
GP.
The
main
____64____
between
the
two
is
that
the
Commuter
model
has
two
rear
wheels
while
the
GP
has
only
one.
That
means
the
Commuter
offers
greater
stability,
as
_____65_____
to
the
GP’s
ability
to
make
sharper
turns
like
a
bicycle.
Both
models
come
with
accessories
_____66_____
LED
front
and
rear
lights
and
a
shock-absorbing
seat.
They
also
_____67_____
a
smartphone
holder
and
USB
charging
port
right
on
the
steering
column.
In
fact,
smartphones
play
a
big
role
in
the
URB-E
app
to
do
things
like
monitor
battery
charge
or
control
the
lights.
_____68_____
accessories
include
a
cup
holder
and
a
folding
luggage
shelf.
At
this
year’s
international
Consumer
Electronic
Show
(CES)
in
Las
Vegas,
tech
website
The
Verge
awarded
the
URB-E
with
its
“Best
Personal
Transportation”
award.
Singing
the
URB-E’s
_____69_____,
Verge
editor
Ben
Popper
said,
“The
URB-E
felt
like
the
kind
of
vehicle
an
enlightened
citizen
of
2030
would
own.”
So
why
wait
that
long,
when
the
URB-E

Reading
Comprehension
(30’)
(A)
After
bouncing
my
rental
car
across
several
miles
of
red-dirt
roads
I
walked
for
nearly
another
mile
down
the
beach
to
a
deserted
valley.
It
was
comforting
to
think
that
at
the
very
least
I
was
finally
out
of
cell-phone
range.
However,
even
on
Kauai,
Hawaii’s
‘Garden
Island’,
complete
escape
wasn’t
all
that
easy
to
achieve.
Noisy
helicopters
full
of
tourists
flew
overhead
like
so
many
dragonflies.
Every
20
minutes
or
so
the
comforting
sounds
of
wind
and
water
were
broken
by
the
noise
of
a
speeding
tour
boat
racing
to
complete
another
lap
around
the
island.
Worst
of
all,
not
more
than
five
minutes
by
car
from
the
resort
where
I
was
staying,
the
Atomic
Clock
Internet
Café
signaled
with
promises
of
instant
email.
I
felt
uncomfortable
every
time
I
drove
by
the
Atomic
Clock
Café.
I
am
a
technology
reporter
for
an
online
magazine—my
life
is
driven
and
dominated
by
email.
I’m
drowned
in
it,
usually
400
or
500
messages
a
day.
The
main
reason
for
my
visit
to
Kauai
was
to
unplug,
disconnect,
log
off,
and
get
away
from
it
all.
No
cell
phone,
no
electronic
organiser,
no
laptop.
And
definitely,
no
email.
Yes,
my
plan
was
to
lie
on
the
beach
and
not
check
my
email.
My
friends
and
family
were
outraged
as
they
could
not
understand
how
I
could
bear
to
live
without
email.
But
they
didn’t
understand.
In
my
job,
I
am
online,
permanently.
Cyberspace
is
more
familiar
to
me
than
my
backyard.
While
I
am
awake,
my
email
is
always
on.
I
don’t
like
to
be
without
it
for
too
long.
A
few
hours
away
from
it,
and
I
start
to
tremble.
I
am,
however,
no
stranger
to
beaches
and
their
relaxing
qualities
and
so
I
knew,
even
when
arriving
well
after
dark
at
the
comfortable
cottage
in
the
town
of
Waimea,
that
the
island
of
Kauai
gave
me
a
good
chance
of
beating
my
addiction
to
electronic
devices.
Maybe
it
was
full
moon
lighting
the
black-sand
beach
not
10
metres
from
my
door.
Or
the
mango
trees
casting
shadows
across
the
veranda
(
阳
台
).
Or
the
driftwood
piled
in
loose
heaps
for
as
far
as
I
could
see
along
the
shore.
Without
question,
the
long,
slow
sound
of
the
waves
rolling
in
calmed
my
restless
soul,
and
I
found
I
could,
in
fact,
log
off.
71.
Why
did
the
writer
come
to
Kauai?
A.
To
get
away
from
the
modern
technology.
B.
To
work
for
the
Atomic
Clock
Internet
Café.
C.
To
write
reports
on
technological
development.
D.
To
find
whether
there
is
an
alternative
to
email.
72.
What
can
we
learn
about
the
writer?
A.
He
wrote
articles
about
resorts
around
the
world.
B.
He
enjoyed
beach
activities
like
boat
racing.
C.
He
was
eager
to
work
in
his
backyard.
D.
He
spent
much
time
working
online.
73.
The
word
“outraged”
(paragraph
4)
is
closest
in
meaning
to
“
”.
A.
relieved
B.
shocked
C.
amused
D.
offended
74.
The
writer
described
the
scenery
in
the
last
paragraph
in
order
to
.
A.
argue
against
his
friends’
doubt
of
Kauai
B.
propose
a
possible
destination
of
his
trip
C.
highlight
the
beauty
of
the
beach
of
Kauai
D.
show
Kauai
produced
a
relaxing
atmosphere
【答案】71.
A
72.
D
73.
B
74.
D
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。记叙了作者作为一名在线杂志的技术记者,每天需要花大量的时间在网上工作。作者为了远离现代科技,选择了去夏威夷“花园岛”Kauai,并记叙了岛上的风光景色。
【71题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中The
main
reason
for
my
visit
to
Kauai
was
to
unplug,
disconnect,
log
off,
and
get
away
from
it
all.
No
cell
phone,
no
electronic
organiser,
no
laptop.
And
definitely,
no
email.(我去Kauai的主要原因是为了拔掉电源、断开连接、注销,然后远离它。没有手机,没有电子记事本,没有笔记本电脑。当然,没有电子邮件。)可知作者去Kauai的原因是为了远离现代科技。故选A。
【72题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段I
am
a
technology
reporter
for
an
online
magazine—my
life
is
driven
and
dominated
by
email.
I’m
drowned
in
it,
usually
400
or
500
messages
a
day.(我是一家在线杂志技术记者——我的生活被电子邮件所驱动和支配。我被它淹没了,通常每天有400或500条信息。)可知作者花了很多时间在网上工作。故选D。
【73题详解】
词义猜测题。根据下文as
they
could
not
understand
how
I
could
bear
to
live
without
email可知作者的朋友和家人无法理解我怎么能忍受没有电子邮件的生活,因此他们感到很震惊。故outraged意思为“吃惊的;震惊的”。故选B。
【74题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Maybe
it
was
full
moon
lighting
the
black-sand
beach
not
10
metres
from
my
door.
Or
the
mango
trees
casting
shadows
across
the
veranda.
Or
the
driftwood
piled
in
loose
heaps
for
as
far
as
I
could
see
along
the
shore.
Without
question,
the
long,
slow
sound
of
the
waves
rolling
in
calmed
my
restless
soul,
and
I
found
I
could,
in
fact,
log
off.(也许是满月照亮了离我家不到10米的黑沙滩。或是芒果树在阳台上投下的阴影。或者是在我所能看到的海岸上到处乱堆的浮木。毫无疑问,那悠长而缓慢的海浪声平息了我躁动的灵魂,我发现我真的可以退出登录了。)可推知作者在最后一段描述了Kauai的景色,以显示Kauai产生了一种轻松的气氛。故选D。
【点睛】词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一,可以大致分为
①
定义猜词,可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用refer
to,be
called或that’s
to
say,such
as等。
②
逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义,例如,similarly,the
same
as,but,however,while,on
the
other
hand,since
,because等,所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。
③
语法猜词,可以根据构词法,再结合上下文进行猜词。
④
语境猜词,猜测词义离不开上下文的语境,通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析,同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。
⑤
指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容,做题时要注意指代词的位置,以便于判断,然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词,核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致,最后比较所找部分与选项,确定意思最接近的选项。
如第三小题,根据下文as
they
could
not
understand
how
I
could
bear
to
live
without
email可知作者的朋友和家人无法理解我怎么能忍受没有电子邮件的生活,因此他们感到很震惊。故outraged意思为“吃惊的;震惊的”。故选B。

When
Liam
McGee
departed
as
president
of
Bank
of
America
in
August,
his
explanation
was
surprisingly
straight
up.
Rather
than
cloaking
his
exit
in
the
usual
vague
excuse,
he
came
right
out
and
said
he
was
leaving
“to
pursue
my
goal
of
running
a
company.”
Broadcasting
his
ambition
was
“very
much
my
decision,”
McGee
says.
Within
two
weeks,
he
was
talking
for
the
first
time
with
the
board
of
Hartford
Financial
Services
Group,
which
named
him
CEO
and
chairman
on
September
29.
McGee
says
leaving
without
a
position
lined
up
gave
him
time
to
reflect
on
what
kinds
of
company
he
wanted
to
run.
It
also
sent
a
clear
message
to
the
outside
world
about
his
aspirations.
And
McGee
isn’t
alone.
In
recent
weeks
the
No.
2
executives
at
Avon
and
American
Express
quit
with
the
explanation
that
they
were
looking
for
a
CEO
post.
As
boards
scrutinize
succession
plans
in
response
to
shareholder
pressure,
executives
who
don’t
get
the
nod
also
may
wish
to
move
on.
A
turbulent
business
environment
also
has
senior
managers
cautious
of
letting
vague
pronouncements
cloud
their
reputations.
As
the
first
signs
of
recovery
begin
to
take
hold,
deputy
chiefs
may
be
more
willing
to
make
the
jump
without
a
net.
In
the
third
quarter,
CEO
turnover
was
down
23%
from
a
year
ago
as
nervous
boards
stuck
with
the
leaders
they
had,
according
to
Liberum
Research.
As
the
economy
picks
up,
opportunities
will
abound
for
aspiring
leaders.
The
decision
to
quit
a
senior
position
to
look
for
a
better
one
is
unconventional.
For
years
executives
and
headhunters
have
adhered
to
the
rule
that
the
most
attractive
CEO
candidates
are
the
ones
who
must
be
poached.
Says
Korn
Ferry,
senior
partner
Dennis
Carey:
“I
can’t
think
of
a
single
search
I’ve
done
where
a
board
has
not
instructed
me
to
look
at
sitting
CEOs
first.”
Those
who
jumped
without
a
job
haven’t
always
landed
in
top
positions
quickly.
Ellen
Marram
quit
as
chief
of
Tropicana
when
the
business
became
part
of
PepsiCo
(PEP)
a
decade
ago,
saying
she
wanted
to
be
a
CEO.
It
was
a
year
before
she
became
head
of
a
tiny
internet-based
commodities
exchange.
Robert
Willemstad
left
Citigroup
in
2005
with
ambitions
to
be
a
CEO.
He
finally
took
that
post
at
a
major
financial
institution
three
years
later.
Many
recruiters
say
the
old
disgrace
is
fading
for
top
performers.
The
financial
crisis
has
made
it
more
acceptable
to
be
between
jobs
or
to
leave
a
bad
one.
“The
traditional
rule
was
it’s
safer
to
stay
where
you
are,
but
that’s
been
fundamentally
inverted,”
says
one
headhunter.
“The
people
who’ve
been
hurt
the
worst
are
those
who’ve
stayed
too
long.”
78.
When
McGee
announced
his
departure,
his
manner
can
best
be
described
as
being
_______.
A.
arrogant.
B.
frank.
C.
self-centered.
D.
impulsive.
79.
According
to
Paragraph
2,
senior
executives’
quitting
may
be
encouraged
by
_______.
A.
their
expectation
of
better
financial
status
B.
their
need
to
reflect
on
their
private
life
C.
their
strained
relations
with
the
boards
D.
their
pursuit
of
new
career
goals
80.
It
can
be
inferred
from
the
last
paragraph
that
_______.
A.
top
performers
used
to
cling
to
their
posts
B.
loyalty
of
top
performers
is
getting
out-dated
C.
top

care
more
about
reputations
D.
it’s

to
stick
to

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在新工作往往还没着落时,企业高管就已经离职的社会现象。
【78题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“When
Liam
McGee
departed
as

his
explanation
was
surprisingly
straight
up.
Rather
than

he
came
right
out
and
said
he
was
leaving
“to

Liam
McGee
8月份从美国银行总裁的位置上离职时,他的解释出人意料地直截了当。他没有用通常的模糊的借口来掩饰自己的离职,而是直截了当地说,他离开是为了“追求经营一家公司的目标”。由此可推知,Liam
McGee宣布离职时,他的态度可以用坦率来形容。故选B。
【79题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“
In
recent

the
No.
2
executives
at
Avon
and
American
Express

the
explanation
that
they
were

post.”可知,最近几周,雅芳和美国运通的高管辞职时解释说,他们正在寻找CEO的职位。由此可知,根据第二段,高管的辞职可能是因为他们追求新的职业目标。故选D。
【80题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The
traditional
rule
was
it’s
safer
to
stay
where
you
are,
but
that’s
been
fundamentally
inverted,”可知,传统的规则是待在原地更安全,但这已经从根本上被颠倒了。由此可推知,优秀的员工过去总是坚守岗位。故选A。
【81题详解】
主旨大意题。阅读文章内容,并结合倒数第二段“Those
who
jumped

always
landed

quickly.
Ellen

Marram辞去了主管一职,她说自己想当一名首席执行官。由此可知,本文主要谈论在新工作往往还没着落时,企业高管就已经离职的社会现象。结合选项可知,选项C(没有找到新工作,高管就离职了)最适合作文章标题,此处net指的是新工作。故选C。

Have
you
ever
heard
of
Big
Data
or
are
you
familiar
with
Data
Scientists
and
Data
Engineers?
They
are
probably
new
job
titles,
but
the
core
job
roles
have
been
around
for
a
while.
Traditionally,
anyone
who
analyzed
data
would
be
called
a
“data
analyst”
and
anyone
who
created
backend
platforms
to
support
data
analysis
would
be
a
“Business
intelligence
(BI)
Developer”.
_______82_______
Here’s
an
overview
of
the
roles
of
the
Data
Analyst,
BI
Developer,
Data
Scientist
and
Data
Engineer.
Data
Analysts
are
experienced
data
professionals
in
their
organization
who
can
question
and
process
data,
provide
reports,
summarize
and
visualize
data.
They
have
a
strong
understanding
of
how
to
influence
existing
tools
and
methods
to
solve
a
problem.
______83______.
However,
they
are
not
expected
to
deal
with
analyzing
big
data,
nor
are
they
typically
expected
to
have
the
mathematical
or
research
background
to
develop
new
algorithms
for
specific
problems.
Skills:
Data
Analysts
need
to
have
a
baseline
understanding
of
some
core
skills:
statistics,
data
munging,
data
visualization,
exploratory
data
analysis,
Tools:
Microsoft
Excel,
SPSS,
SPSS
Modeler,
SAS,
SAS
Miner,
SQL,
Microsoft
Access,
Tableau,
SSAS.
______84______.
And
then
they
collect
requirements,
design,
and
build
BI
and
reporting
solutions
for
the
company.
They
have
to
design,
develop
and
support
new
and
existing
data
warehouses,
ETL
packages,
dashboards
and
analytical
reports.
Additionally,
they
work
with
databases,
both
relational
and
multidimensional,
and
should
have
great
SQL
development
skills
to
integrate
data
from
different
resources.
They
use
all
of
these
skills
to
meet
the
enterprise-wide
self-service
needs.
BI
Developers
are
typically
not
expected
to
perform
data
analyses.
Data
Engineers
are
the
data
professionals
who
prepare
the
“big
data”
infrastructure
to
be
analyzed
by
Data
Scientists.
______85______.
Then,
they
write
complex
queries
on
that,
make
sure
it
is
easily
accessible,
works
smoothly,
and
their
goal
is
optimizing(优化)the
performance
of
their
company’s
big
data
ecosystem.
They
might
also
run
some
ETL
(Extract,
Transform
and
Load)
on
top
of
big
datasets
and
create
big
data
warehouses
that
can
be
used
for
reporting
or
analysis
by
data
scientists.
A.
In
this
case,
the
curious
Data
Scientist
is
expected
to
explore
the
data,
come
up
with
the
right
questions,
and
provide
interesting
findings!
B.
Business
intelligence
Developers
are
data
experts
that
interact
more
closely
with
internal
stakeholders
to
understand
the
reporting
needs.
C.
With
the
emergence
of
big
data,
new
roles
began
popping
up
in
corporations
and
research
centers
--
namely,
Data
Scientists
and
Data
Engineers.
D.
This
is
why
it
is
essential
to
know
computer
science
fundamentals
and
programming,
including
experience
with
languages
and
database
(big/small)
technologies.
E.
And
they
also
help
people
from
across
the
company
understand
specific
questions
with
ad-hocreports
and
charts.
F.
They
are
software
engineers
who
design,
build,
integrate
data
from
various
resources,
and
manage
big
data.
【答案】82.

And
they
also
help
people
from
across
the
company
understand
specific
questions
with
ad-hocreports

the
reporting
needs(商业智能开发人员是数据专家,他们与内部涉众进行更密切的交互,以理解报告需求)符合语境,故选B。
【85题详解】
本段主题为介绍Data
Engineers,根据空后一句“Then,
they
write
complex
queries
on
that,make
sure…(然后,他们据此编写复杂的查询,确保…)”可知,选项F.
They
are
software
engineers
who
design,

because
of
their
excellent

and
perfect

because
they
had

showed
their
excellent
skills
and
perfect
cooperation.
【解析】
【详解】考查名词和和同位语从句。word做不可数名词时,意为:消息;消息内容是“我班参加校篮球赛,由于队员的出色球技和完美合作而夺冠”,此部分用that连接,做word的同位语,位于动词came的后面;参加为“
participate
in
”为固定短语。“由于”可以用because原因状语从句,句子为一般过去时,也可以用符合介词because
of加名词宾语来表达。故翻译为:Word
came
that
our
class
participated
in
the
school
basketball
game
and
won
the
championship
/
champion
because
of
their

honesty
/
(the)
virtues
like/such
as
honesty,
what
is
the
point
of
getting
straight
A’s/As?
【解析】
【详解】考查固定搭配和条件状语从句。根据汉语提示,需要用if引导条件状语从句,翻译为“如果……”。用overlook译为“忽视”,virtues翻译为“美德”以及固定搭配the
point
of翻译为“……的意义”。故句子翻译为If
students
overlook
such
virtues
as
honesty
/
(the)
virtues
like/such
as
honesty,
what
is
the
point
of
getting

kept
their
word/promise
to
solve
various
problems
(which
had
been)
referred
to
/
mentioned
in
(the)
customers’
complaints.
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。分析句子可知despite(虽然...还是)后接名词,作让步状语,修饰整个句子,名词difficulties使用了复数形式,可单独使用,也可以适当使用表示数量的定语修饰;短语keep
one's
word意为信守承诺;使用的定语从句“(which
had
been)
referred
to
/
mentioned
in
(the)
customers’
complaints.”可省略主语和助动词,过去分词作后置定语;结合其他汉语提示,故翻译为:Despite
(many/
all
the)
difficulties,
the
company
kept
their
word/promise
to
solve
various
problems
(which
had
been)
referred
to

我们不提倡牺牲健康来获取成功,还是要兼顾工作、休息和运动。(expense)
(汉译英)
【答案】We
don’t
advocate
achieving
success
at
the
expense
of
health.
Instead,
we
should
combine
work,
rest
and
exercise.
/
we
should
include
work,
rest
and
exercise
in
our
schedule(s).
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和动词的时态。分析题意,advocate译为“提倡”,符合题干的要求;at
the
expense
of
译为“以…为代价”相当于题干中的“牺牲...”;题干中的“兼顾”可用combine或include。题干中的“获取健康”可用“
achievie
success”。本句中的谓语用advocate。根据advocate
doing
sth.
(提倡做某事)的固定搭配可知,achieve需用doing的形式。最后根根据中文题干可知,此处在陈述客观实在性,故时态应用一般现在时。综合分析,故填We
don’t
advocate
achieving
success
at
the
expense
of
health.
Instead,
we
should
combine
work,
rest
and
exercise.
/
we
should
include
work,
rest
and
exercise
in
our
schedule(s).

奥运会起源于古希腊,每四年举行一次,各国运动员云集于此,激烈竞技。(compete)
(汉译英)
【答案】The
Olympic
Games,
originating
/
which
originated
from
Ancient
Greece,
are
held
every
four
years,
where
athletes
from
various
countries
gather
and
compete
fiercely.
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词、时态语态和定语从句。奥运会四年举办是一个客观事实,所以用一般现在时。主语The
Olympic
Games(奥运会)是复数,与谓语动词hold(举办)是被动关系,所以主句为The
Olympic
Games
are
held
every
four
years。非谓语动词originate(起源),与逻辑主语The
Olympic
Games是主动关系,所以用现在分词originating作定语,翻译为originating
from
Ancient
Greece。先行词为The
Olympic
Games,在定语从句originated
from
Ancient
Greece中作主语,所以用which引导非限制性定语从句,翻译为which
originated
from
Ancient
Greece。同时先行词The
Olympic
Games又在定语从句athletes
from
various
countries
gather
and
compete
fiercely作地点状语,所以用where引导非限制性定语从句。故翻译为The
Olympic
Games,
originating
/
which
originated
from
Ancient
Greece,
are
held
every
four
years,
where
athletes
from
various
countries
gather
and
compete
fiercely.
