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
Five
years
ago,I
was
sent
to
a
better
middle
school.For
me,everything
there
was
new
and
strange.After
I
had
been
there
for
two
months,there
was
an
important
test
in
the
middle
of
the
term.It
covered
all
my
courses.In
that
test,I
didn’t
get
a
good
grade,but
most
of
my
classmates
got
an
A.
It
made
me
upset
for
a
long
time.I
felt
everything
in
the
world
was
changing.I
thought
my
classmates
were
all
better
than
me.During
those
days
I
was
very
unhappy.
One
day,my
aunt,after
talking
with
my
teachers,talked
to
me.She
told
me
to
think
about
what
I
had
done
in
the
past
and
what
I
should
do
in
the
future.I
was
shocked
by
her
words.I
thought
about
what
I
had
done
during
the
past
months,and
I
found
I
had
done
nothing
to
improve
my
grades.I
thought
I
should
work
harder.
After
that,I
paid
more
attention
to
the
teachers’
talking
in
the
classes,and
I
asked
my
teachers
or
my
classmates
when
I
didn’t
understand
something.I
studied
very
late
at
night
when
I
met
with
difficult
problems.Most
of
all,I
came
to
understand
the
importance
of
taking
notes
in
class.As
a
result,I
did
better
in
some
tests.
About
three
months
later,the
most
important
test
came
at
the
end
of
the
term.This
time,I
stood
out
not
only
in
my
class
but
also
in
the
grade.From
then
on,I
have
tried
to
do
my
best
when
I
do
something
because
I
know
if
I
want
something,I
should
work
hard
for
it.?

told

done
in
the

B
It
is
true
that
people
with
better
education
are
usually
able
to
get
better
paying
jobs.In
other
words,they
have
more
chances
to
choose
a
good
job
while
people
with
little
or
no
education
don’t.It
seems
that
the
purpose
of
education
is
to
make
people
get
jobs.But
this
isn’t
accepted
by
all
people.
Some
people
may
think
that
a
person
should
spend
the
best
years
of
his
life
to
get
education
only
for
a
way
of
living.This
was
probably
one
of
the
earliest
reasons
of
education.In
fact,if
education
is
just
a
way
of
making
a
living,people
don’t
need
to
spend
so
much
time
in
school.People
can
get
education
for
a
living
in
a
short
time.Subjects
like
history
and
geography
need
not
be
taught
to
everyone.Even
languages
and
mathematics
need
not
be
taught
in
detail,either.Here
it
is
clear
that
education
is
much
more
than
teaching
a
man
to
get
a
way
of
living.
Education
is
well-rounded
and
it
is
mainly
for
improving
a
man.It
is
not
only
to
teach
him
to
speak,read
and
write,but
also
to
develop
his
creative
thinking
and
other
abilities.After
that,it
is
to
make
him
a
wise
man
and
thankfully
enjoy
the
achievements
of
humans.Education
is
to
make
a
man
lead
a
better
life.Educated
people
are
expected
to
be
able
to
listen
to
good
music,read
good
books,watch
plays,and
most
of
all,take
an
interest
in
the
world.
I
would
agree
that
making
a
good
living
is
an
important
reason
for
education,but
certainly
not
the
most
important
or
the
main
reason.

other
words,they
have

a

while
people

no

don’t.”可知接受教育很少的人,获得好工作的机会很少。故选D项。

Samuel
Osmond
is
a
19-year-old
law
student
from
Cornwall,England.He
never
studied
the
piano.However,he
can
play
very
difficult
musical
pieces
by
musicians
such
as
Chopin
and
Beethoven
just
a
few
minutes
after
he
hears
them.He
learns
a
piece
of
music
by
listening
to
it
in
parts.Then
he
thinks
about
the
notes
in
his
head.Two
years
ago,he
played
his
first
piece
Moonlight
Sonata(奏鸣曲)
by
Beethoven.He
surprised
everyone
around
him.
Amazed
that
he
remembered
this
long
and
difficult
piece
of
music
and
played
it
perfectly,his
teachers
say
Samuel
is
unbelievable.They
say
his
ability
is
very
rare,but
Samuel
doesn’t
even
realise
that
what
he
can
do
is
special.Samuel
wanted
to
become
a
lawyer
as
it
was
the
wish
of
his
parents,but
music
teachers
told
him
he
should
study
music
instead.Now,he
studies
law
and
music.
Samuel
can’t
understand
why
everyone
is
so
surprised.“I
grew
up
with
music.My
mother
played
the
piano
and
my
father
played
the
guitar.About
two
years
ago,I
suddenly
decided
to
start
playing
the
piano,without
being
able
to
read
music
and
without
having
any
lessons.It
comes
easily
to
me—I
hear
the
notes
and
can
bear
them
in
mind—each
and
every
note,”
says
Samuel.
Recently,Samuel
performed
a
piece
during
a
special
event
at
his
college.The
piece
had
more
than
a
thousand
notes.The
audience
was
impressed
by
his
amazing
performance.He
is
now
learning
a
piece
that
is
so
difficult
that
many
professional
pianists
can’t
play
it.Samuel
says
confidently,“It’s
all
about
super
memory—I
guess
I
have
that
gift.”
However,Samuel’s
ability
to
remember
things
doesn’t
stop
with
music.His
family
say
that
even
when
he
was
a
young
boy,Samuel
heard
someone
read
a
story,and
then
he
could
retell
the
story
word
for
word.
Samuel
is
still
only
a
teenager.He
doesn’t
know
what
he
wants
to
do
in
the
future.For
now,he
is
just
happy
to
play
beautiful
music
and
continue
his
studies.

B.He
can
write
down
the
notes
he
hears.
C.He
is
a
top
student
at
the
law
school.
D.He
can
play
the
musical
piece
he
hears.
答案D
解析由第一段中的“However,he
can
play
very
difficult
musical
pieces
by
musicians
such
as
Chopin
and
Beethoven
just
a
few
minutes
after
he
hears
them.”可知,他的特别之处在于他听了曲子之后就能演奏出来,故选D项。文章没有说他有创作音乐的天赋,也没有说他能写下他听到的音符,更没有提到他是法学院的优等生,因此可以排除其他选项。
29.What
can
we
learn
from
Paragraph
2?
A.Samuel
chose
law
against
the
wish
of
his
parents.
B.Samuel
planned
to
be
a
lawyer
rather
than
a
musician.
C.Samuel
thinks
of
himself
as
a
man
of
great
musical
ability.
D.Samuel
studies
law
and
music
on
the
advice
of
his
teachers.
答案B
解析由“Samuel
wanted
to
become
a
lawyer
as
it
was
the
wish
of
his
parents...”可知,他想成为一名律师,而不是一名音乐家,故选B项,同时可排除A项;由“...but
music
teachers
told
him
he
should
study
music
instead.”可知,音乐老师想让他放弃法律专业,学习音乐,因此排除D项;由“...but
Samuel
doesn’t
even
realise
that
what
he
can
do
is
special.”可知,他并不认为自己是音乐天才,因此排除C项。
30.What
can
we
infer
about
Samuel
from
Paragraph
4?
A.He
became
famous
during
a
special
event
at
his
college.
B.He
is
proud
of
his
ability
to
remember
things
accurately.
C.He
plays
the
piano
better
than
many
professional
pianists.
D.He
impressed
the
audience
by
playing
all
the
musical
pieces.
答案B
解析由第四段中的“Samuel
says
confidently,‘It’s
all
about
super
memory—I
guess
I
have
that
gift.’”可知,他对自己非凡的记忆力感到骄傲,故选B项。文章说到人们对他的记忆力留下深刻印象,但是不能说他一举成名,因此排除A项。
31.Which
of
the
following
is
the
best
title
of
this
passage?
A.The
Qualities
of
a
Musician
B.The
Story
of
a
Musical
Talent
C.The
Importance
of
Early
Education
D.The
Relationship
between
Memory
and
Music
答案B
解析全文介绍了一个只靠记忆就能演奏非常复杂的名曲的音乐天才。C项有一定的干扰性,Samuel早年受过音乐的熏陶,但是文章的重点不是讲述早期教育的重要性,因此可以排除。
D
Grown-ups
are
often
surprised
by
how
well
they
remember
something
they
learned
as
children
but
have
never
practiced
ever
since.A
man
who
has
not
had
a
chance
to
go
swimming
for
years
can
still
swim
as
well
as
ever
when
he
gets
back
in
the
water.He
can
get
on
a
bicycle
after
many
years
and
still
ride
away.He
can
play
catch
and
hit
a
ball
as
well
as
his
son.A
mother
who
has
not
thought
about
the
words
for
years
can
teach
her
daughter
the
poem
that
begins
with“Twinkle,twinkle,little
star”
or
remember
the
story
of
“Cinderella”
or
“Goldilocks
and
the
Three
Bears”.
One
explanation
is
the
law
of
overlearning,which
can
be
stated
as
follows:Once
we
have
learned
something,additional
learning
trials
increase
the
length
of
time
we
will
remember
it.
In
childhood
we
usually
continue
to
practice
such
skills
as
swimming,bicycle
riding,and
playing
baseball
long
after
we
have
learned
them.We
continue
to
listen
to
and
remind
ourselves
of
words
such
as
“Twinkle,twinkle,little
star”
and
childhood
tales
such
as
Cinderella
and
Goldilocks.We
not
only
learn
but
overlearn.
The
multiplication
tables
(乘法口诀表)
are
an
exception
to
the
general
rule
that
we
forget
rather
quickly
the
things
that
we
learn
in
school,because
they
are
another
of
the
things
we
overlearn
in
childhood.
The
law
of
overlearning
explains
why
cramming
(突击学习)
for
an
examination,though
it
may
result
in
a
passing
grade,is
not
a
satisfactory
way
to
learn
a
college
course.By
cramming,a
student
may
learn
the
subject
well
enough
to
get
by
on
the
examination,but
he
is
likely
soon
to
forget
almost
everything
he
learned.A
little
overlearning,on
the
other
hand,is
really
necessary
for
one’s
future
development.
【语篇解读】本文是说明文。文章向我们介绍了什么是过度学习法则,以及过度学习与突击学习的对比及不同效果等。
32.What
is
the
main
idea
of
Paragraph
1?
A.People
remember
well
what
they
learned
in
childhood.
B.Children
have
a
better
memory
than
grown-ups.
C.Poem
reading
is
a
good
way
to
learn
words.
D.Stories
for
children
are
easy
to
remember.
答案A
解析第一段的第一句就是该段的主题句。成年人常常感到很吃惊,小时候记住的东西,以后从来没有练习过却能记得非常好。故选A项。
33.The
author
explains
the
law
of
overlearning
by
.?
A.presenting
research
findings
B.setting
down
general
rules
C.making
a
comparison
D.using
examples
答案D
解析文章用了很多的例子来支持所陈述的观点。比如第一段在陈述了观点之后便列举了游泳、骑自行车、接球和击球、记住诗歌和童话故事等多个例子。
34.According
to
the
author,being
able
to
use
multiplication
tables
is
.?
A.a
result
of
overlearning
B.a
special
case
of
cramming
C.a
skill
to
deal
with
maths
problems
D.a
basic
step
towards
advanced
studies
答案A
解析根据倒数第二段中的“because
they
are
another
of
the
things
we
overlearn
in
childhood”可知,能够使用乘法口诀表也是过度学习的结果。
35.What
is
the
author’s
opinion
on
cramming?
A.It
leads
to
failure
in
college
exams.
B.It’s
helpful
only
in
a
limited
way.
C.It’s
possible
to
result
in
poor
memory.
D.It
increases
students’
learning
interest.
答案B
解析作者在文章最后一段提到了cramming(突击学习),表达了对突击学习应付考试的看法。突击学习可以使学生能够应付考试但却不足以应付大学课程的学习,因为容易忘记,即它的作用是有限的。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Every
animal
sleeps,but
the
reason
for
this
has
remained
foggy.When
lab
rats
are
not
allowed
to
sleep,they
die
within
a
month. 36 ?
One
idea
is
that
sleep
helps
us
strengthen
new
memories. 37
We
know
that,while
awake,fresh
memories
are
recorded
by
reinforcing
(加强)
connections
between
brain
cells,but
the
memory
processes
that
take
place
while
we
sleep
have
been
unclear.?
Support
is
growing
for
a
theory
that
sleep
evolved
so
that
connections
between
neurons
(神经元)
in
the
brain
can
be
weakened
overnight,making
room
for
fresh
memories
to
form
the
next
day. 38 ?
Now
we
have
the
most
direct
evidence
yet
that
he
is
right. 39
The
synapses
in
the
mice
taken
at
the
end
of
a
period
of
sleep
were
18
percent
smaller
than
those
taken
before
sleep,showing
that
the
connections
between
neurons
weaken
while
sleeping.?
If
Tononi’s
theory
is
right,it
would
explain
why,when
we
miss
a
night’s
sleep,we
find
it
harder
the
next
day
to
concentrate
and
learn
new
information—our
brains
may
have
smaller
room
for
new
experiences.
Their
research
also
suggests
how
we
may
build
lasting
memories
over
time
even
though
the
synapses
become
thinner.The
team
discovered
that
some
synapses
seemed
to
be
protected
and
stayed
the
same
size. 40 “You
keep
what
matters,”Tononi
says.?
A.We
should
also
try
to
sleep
well
the
night
before.
B.It’s
as
if
the
brain
is
preserving
its
most
important
memories.
C.Similarly,when
people
go
for
a
few
days
without
sleeping,they
get
sick.
D.The
processes
take
place
to
stop
our
brains
becoming
loaded
with
memories.
E.That’s
why
students
do
better
in
tests
if
they
get
a
chance
to
sleep
after
learning.
F.“Sleep
is
the
price
we
pay
for
learning,”says
Giulio
Tononi,who
developed
the
idea.
G.Tononi’s
team
measured
the
size
of
these
connections,or
synapses,in
the
brains
of
12
mice.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是说明文。文章主要探讨了动物睡眠的原因,提出了两种假设:“帮助巩固新的记忆”和“为明天的全新记忆腾出空间”。其中,后一种假设得到了实验支持,为越来越多的人所认可。
36.C 首句指出每种动物都要睡觉,但原因仍然是个谜。接下来是具体例证,如实验室的老鼠被剥夺了睡眠,一个月内就会死亡,而同样地,人类如果连续几天不睡觉,就会生病,故选C项。
37.E 该段首句提出了第一个假设,睡眠帮助我们巩固新的记忆。与这个论点相呼应的例子是E项,该项中的that指代的就是前面的假设,也就是说,这个假设能够解释为什么学生如果能在学习之后睡觉休息,会在考试中发挥地更好。
38.F 由下段首句中的代词he可知,该空中必然包含一个人名,否则he就失去了所指对象,浏览各选项,可锁定F项和G项,但只有F项能与本段的内容衔接,也就是说,睡眠会帮助减弱神经元之间的联系,为新记忆腾出空间。按照研究人员Tononi的说法,“睡眠是我们为学习付出的代价”。
39.G 该段首句说“现在我们有最直接的证据证明他的假设是对的”,那接下来应该具体描述该证据。此外,该空后面一句话解释了实验的结果和意义。综合看来,只有G项符合语境,指出了研究团队、实验对象及实验内容。
40.B 由空后的you
keep
what
matters“你记住要紧的事情”可锁定B项“似乎大脑在保存它最重要的记忆”。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
It
is
commonly
believed
that
school
is
where
people
go
to
get
education. 41 ,it
has
been
said
that
today
children
interrupt
their
education
to
go
to
school.The
42
between
schooling
and
education
suggested
by
this
is
important.?
Education
is
43 ,compared
with
schooling.Education
knows
no
edges.It
can
take
place
44 ,whether
in
the
school
or
on
the
job,whether
in
a
kitchen
or
on
a
tractor.It
includes
both
the
45
learning
that
takes
place
in
schools
and
the
whole
universe
of
learning
out
of
class. 46
the
experience
of
schooling
can
be
known
in
advance,education
quite
often
produces
surprises.A
chance
talk
with
a
47
may
lead
to
a
person
to
discover
how
48
he
knows
of
another
country.People
obtain
education
from
49
on.Education,then,is
a
very
50
and
unlimited
term.It
is
a
lifelong
process,a
process
that
starts
long
51
the
start
of
school,and
one
that
should
be
a
necessary
part
of
one’s
entire
life.?
Schooling,on
the
other
hand,is
a
52
experience,whose
style
changes
53
from
one
way
to
the
next.Throughout
a
country,children
arrive
at
school
at
the
same
time,take
54
seats,use
similar
textbooks,do
homework,and
55 ,and
so
on.Schooling
has
usually
been
limited
by
the
edges
of
the
subjects
being
taught.?

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍大自然给建筑设计带来了灵感,建筑师们持续去探索可以捕捉到自然美的方法,并且将自然元素融入建筑当中。
56.that 考查连词。句意:然而,我们对它们如此习惯以至于我们认为它们是理所当然的,而没有意识到它们已经给我们提供了多少灵感。此处为so...that...结构,表示“如此……以至于……”。故填写that。
57.realising 考查非谓语动词。介词without后面要使用动词-ing形式。故填realising。
58.fascinating 考查形容词。“the
most+形容词+designs”意为“最……的设计”,需使用形容词修饰名词designs。故填fascinating。
59.is
presented 考查动词时态和语态。句意:大自然在各种各样的建筑设计中被展现。分析句意可知,本句表达的是一种现象,需使用一般现在时,动词present和主语nature之间是动宾关系,需使用被动结构be
presented,nature是不可数名词,需使用is。故填is
presented。
60.to
catch 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,设空处在句子中充当定语,修饰名词ways,需使用动词不定式形式。故填to
catch。
61.connection 考查名词。定冠词the后面要接名词,connect是动词,需要转变为名词connection。故填connection。
62.truly 考查副词。分析句子结构可知,谓语动词captures需用副词修饰。故填truly。
63.a 考查冠词。此处缺少冠词,example在此处表示泛指,应用不定冠词。example前面有superb修饰,superb是以辅音音素开头的单词,故应使用a。
64.based 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,设空处在句子中充当定语成分,修饰名词structures,所以需使用过去分词形式。故填based。
65.in 考查介词。in
harmony
with是固定搭配,表示“与……和谐相处”。故填in。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
A
recent
UN
report
shows
that
many
of
us
are
working
longer
and
harder
than
ever.In
the
past,employees
worked
eight
or
nine
hours
a
day.Today,however,many
companies
expect
their
employees
to
work
longer.In
addition,the
boundary
between
work
and
personal
life
has
become
less
clear.If
we
are
not
working
in
the
office,we
might
be
working
at
home.We
are
required
to
be
on
call
whenever
our
company
needs
us.In
short,we
are
all
working
and
having
less
time
with
family
and
friends.
This
over-emphasis
(过分强调)
on
work
can
lead
to
serious
problems
in
our
personal
lives.The
more
time
we
spend
at
work,the
less
time
there
is
available
for
maintaining
relationships
with
our
friends
and
family.Many
of
us
spend
so
much
time
on
the
job
that
we
hardly
ever
get
to
see
our
partners
or
children.When
we
do
get
home,we
are
often
tired
and
lack
the
energy
to
spend
time
doing
what
we
really
enjoy.
There
are,however,a
number
of
ways
in
which
we
can
regain
control
of
our
lives
and
correct
the
work-life
balance.First
of
all,workers,especially
those
employed
in
offices,have
to
realise
that
work
is
rarely
finished.In
other
words,taking
work
home
does
not
usually
decrease
the
amount
of
work.As
one
task
finishes,another
one
appears.This
means
that,unless
there
is
a
strict
deadline,work
should
stay
at
work.
Another
way
to
regain
a
work-life
balance
is
to
plan
your
free
time.Most
of
us
spend
a
lot
of
time
planning
our
working
week.Few
of
us
put
the
same
effort
into
organising
our
leisure
time.However,if
we
don’t
have
a
plan,there
is
a
danger
that
we
will
miss
out
on
the
things
that
we
really
enjoy
doing.So,if
you
like
going
to
the
cinema,make
sure
that
you
go
regularly.Write
it
in
your
diary.If
you
enjoy
having
friends
visit,plan
a
time
and
write
that
in
your
diary
too.It’s
all
too
easy
to
let
your
precious
time
slip
away.

参考范文
A
recent
study
has
found
that
employees
are
now
working
longer
and
harder
than
in
the
past.(要点1)As
a
result,we
have
less
time
for
our
personal
lives,like
staying
with
our
family
and
enjoying
our
pastimes/hobbies.(要点2)However,we
can
strike
a
work-life
balance
by,for
example,leaving
unfinished
work
in
the
office,or
planning
our
free/leisure
time
properly.(要点3)
