With
so
many
investments
required
of
us
to
succeed
–
time,
resources,
talents,
responsibilities,
even
finances
for
our
retirement
–
it’s
easy
to
lose
sight
of
the
most
difficult
investment
of
all
to
____1____
to:
ourselves.
Getting
to
the
point
where
you’re
ready
to
start
___2___
to
you
2.0
isn’t
easy.
But
it
doesn’t
mean
dropping
the
ball
everywhere
else.
It's
not
about
omissions,
but
admissions.
Come
clean
with
yourself
to
kick-start
your
personal
growth.
Unstuck
starts
with
“u”
No
one
purposely
chooses
to
stop
learning
and
growing
again,
it
just
kind
of
happens
in
a
lot
of
daily
responsibilities
and
life.
And
if
it
were
easy
to
just
kick
it
into
gear
(挡位)
again,
you
would
have
already
done
it.
But
the
truth
is
inescapable.
If
you
want
to
get
off
that
place
to
higher
ground,
it’s
up
to
you
and
only
you.
No
one
will
just
hand
you
a
steady
___3___
of
opportunities
for
growth.
You’ve
been
working
in
your
life,
not
on
it
Activity
is
often
___4___
with
acceleration
(忙碌).
I
was
guilty
of
this
for
years
in
working
place
–
staying
always
busy
but
not
admitting
I
was
bored.
I
was
lost
in
activity
and
not
stepping
back
to
take
time
to
question
what
I
wanted
my
life
to
be.
Once
I
began
working
on
my
life
–
quitting
corporate,
becoming
an
entrepreneur,
restructuring
to
my
life
–
I
started
growing
once
again.
And
I’ve
never
been
happier.
Things
aren’t
happening
to
you,
they’re
happening
for
you
A
victim
mentality
(心态)
is
the
enemy
of
personal
growth.
Lamenting
over
everything
that
has
gone
wrong
in
your
life
only
wastes
energy
from
working
to
make
more
things
go
right.
If
you
want
to
kick-start
growth
you
must
view
___5___
as
having
a
purpose,
and
then
put
them
in
their
place.
The
past
shouldn’t
run
or
define
you
–
only
___6___
you.
The
perfect
time
to
start
doesn’t
exist
I
had
so
many
things
that
had
to
be
just
right
before
I
could
make
my
long-planned
___7___
from
corporate.
I’d
tell
myself,
“I’d
love
to
go
for
it
right
now,
but
practically
speaking.”
Well,
guess
what?
Practicality
is
___8___.
It’s
the
convenient
excuse
stopping
you
from
what
you’re
meant
to
become.
It’s
time
to
___9___
others’
opinions
Grow
where
you
want
to
grow.
Learn
what
you
want
to
learn.
Wherever
you
are
on
the
scale
of
what
you
want
to
learn
next
–
be
it
beginner
or
near-expert
own
it,
be
proud
of
it.
Pretences
are
for
pretenders.
You’re
just
trying
to
become
a
better
version
of
your
____10____
self.

Comprehension
(30’+18’+6’)
Section
A
Directions:
For
each
blank
in
the
following
passage
there
are
four
words
or
phrases
marked
A,
B,
C
and
D.
Fill
in
each
blank
with
the
word
or
phrase
that
best
fits
the
context.
(A)
In
the
1960s,
African
American
mothers
noticed
something
wrong
in
their
children’s
seemingly
innocent
class
photos.
Every
year,
youngsters
tidied
up
in
their
Sunday
best
for
their
school
picture,
yet
these
treasured
images
didn’t
___11___
Black
and
White
children
equally.
White
children
were
rendered
(使成为)
as
they
look
in
everyday
life,
while
African
American
children
lost
___12___
of
their
faces
and
turned
into
ink
blots
(墨渍).
The
film
could
not
simultaneously
capture
both
dark
and
light
skin.
For
decades,
this
flaw
of
the
film
remained
out
of
___13___,
when
Black
boys
and
girls
and
white
boys
and
girls
were
photographed
separately.
But
with
the
integration
of
schools,
Black
mothers
___14___
that
color
film
left
their
Black
children
in
the
shadows.
In
2015,
two
London-based
photographers,
Adam
Broomberg
and
Oliver
Chanarin,
wanted
to
find
out
why
the
film
could
not
capture
the
___15___
of
children
of
all
races
in
a
school
photograph.
When
these
photographers
tested
the
film,
they
found
the
film
was
optimized
for
___16___
skin.
It
was
this
film’s
hidden
history
that
was
the
___17___
faces
in
a
class
photo
came
out
so
differently.
All
that
changed,
___18___,
when
large
corporations
made
a
fuss
about
Kodak’s
film,
which
they
bought
in
bulk
for
advertising.
A
team
of
two
unlikely
businesses
–
furniture
makers
and
chocolate
manufacturers
–
___19___
against
Kodak’s
films
for
discriminating
against
dark
hues.
Kodak
employees
worked
hard
to
fix
the
film,
making
new
film
formulations
and
testing
them
by
taking
photos.
While
the
complaints
from
Black
mothers
could
not
change
Kodak,
those
from
these
companies
could.
By
the
late
1970s,
new
-
and
more
___20___
-
formulations
of
color
film
were
in
the
works,
and
the
new
and
improved
Kodak
Gold
film
was
on
the
market
by
the
following
decade.
Technologies,
such
as
photographic
films,
sometimes
capture
the
beliefs
and
values
of
the
times.
This
bias
built
into
technology
has
___21___
today.
Today,
some
web
cameras,
following
instructions
from
algorithms
(算法),
are
unable
to
recognize
a
dark
face,
but
do
so
___22___
for
a
white
one.
What
the
makers
of
film
and
cameras
and
other
technologies
have
experienced
is
a
tacit
(心照不宣的)
subscription
to
a
belief
of
a
standard.
___23___,
they
have
gotten
on
the
escalator
of
“this
is
how
we
do
things”
without
asking
why.
Scholars
would
describe
this
type
of
bias
as
one
that
implicitly
(完全地)
and
___24___
accepts
norms.
But
it
isn’t
the
___25___
fault;
they
are
only
doing
what
the
lines
of
code
written
by
humans
tell
them
to
do.
These
devices
capture
the
biases
that
exist
in
our
world
and,
in
turn,
speak
to
whom
a
culture
values.

(B)
David
Dunning,
a
psychologist
at
Cornell
University,
and
Justin
Kruger,
his
graduate
student,
reason
that
while
almost
everyone
holds
favourable
views
of
their
abilities
in
various
social
and
intellectual
domains,
some
people
mistakenly
assess
their
abilities
as
being
much
higher
than
they
actually
are.
This
“illusion
of
___26___”
is
now
called
the
“Dunning-Kruger
effect”,
which
describes
the
cognitive
prejudice
to
increase
self-assessment.
To
___27___
this
phenomenon
in
the
lab,
Dunning
and
Kruger
designed
some
clever
experiments.
In
one
study,
they
asked
undergraduate
students
a
series
of
questions
about
grammar,
logic
and
jokes,
and
then
asked
each
student
to
estimate
his
or
her
score
overall,
as
well
as
their
relative
___28___
compared
to
the
other
students.
Interestingly,
students
who
scored
the
lowest
in
these
cognitive
tasks
always
___29___
how
well
they
did
–
by
a
lot.
Students
who
scored
in
the
___30___
one-fourth
estimated
that
they
had
performed
better
than
two-thirds
of
the
other
students!
This
“illusion
of
confidence”
___31___
beyond
the
classroom
and
spreads
through
everyday
life.
In
a
follow-up
study,
Dunning
and
Kruger
left
the
lab
and
went
to
a
gun
range,
where
they
quizzed
gun
hobbyists
about
gun
safety.
___32___
to
their
previous
findings,
those
who
answered
the
fewest
questions
correctly
wildly
overestimated
their
knowledge
about
firearms.
Outside
of
factual
knowledge,
___33___,
the
Dunning-Kruger
effect
can
also
be
observed
in
people’s
self-assessment
of
other
personal
abilities.
If
you
watch
any
talent
show
on
television
today,
you
will
see
the
___34___
on
the
faces
of
contestants
who
don’t
make
it
past
auditions
(海选)
and
are
___35___
by
the
judges.
While
it
is
almost
___36___
to
us,
these
people
are
genuinely
unaware
of
how
much
they
have
been
___37___
by
their
illusory
superiority.
Sure,
it’s
typical
for
people
to
overestimate
their
abilities.
One
study
found
that
80
per
cent
of
drivers
rate
themselves
as
above
average.
And
similar
___38___
have
been
found
when
people
rate
their
relative
popularity
and
cognitive
abilities.
The
problem
is
that
when
people
are
incompetent,
not
only
do
they
reach
wrong
conclusions
and
make
unfortunate
choices
but,
also,
they
are
___39___
of
the
ability
to
realize
their
mistakes.
Instead
of
being
confused,
perplexed
or
thoughtful
about
their
erroneous
ways,
incompetent
people
insist
that
their
ways
are
___40___.

Darwin

Section
B
Directions:
Read
the
following
four
passages.
Each
passage
is
followed
by
several
questions
or
unfinished
statements.
For
each
of
them
there
are
four
choices
marked
A,
B,
C
and
D.
Choose
the
one
that
fits
best
according
to
the
information
given
in
the
passage
you
have
just
read.
(A)
Two
hours
from
the
tall
buildings
of
Philadelphia
live
some
of
the
world’s
largest
bears.
They
are
in
northern
Pennsylvania’s
Pocono
Mountains,
a
home
they
share
with
an
abundance
(丰富)
of
other
wildlife.
The
streams,
lakes,
grasslands,
mountain
and
forests
that
make
the
Poconos
an
ideal
place
for
black
bears
have
also
attracted
more
people
to
the
region.
Open
spaces
are
threatened
by
plans
for
housing
estates
and
important
habitats
are
endangered
by
highway
construction.
To
protect
the
Pocono’s
natural
beauty
from
irresponsible
development,
the
Nature
Conservancy
named
the
area
one
of
America’s
“Last
Great
Places”.
Operating
out
of
a
century-old
schoolhouse
in
the
village
of
Long
Pond,
Bud
Cook,
the
president
of
the
Conservancy,
is
working
with
local
people
and
business
leaders
to
balance
economic
growth
with
environmental
protection.
By
forming
partnerships
with
people
like
Francis
Altemose,
the
Conservancy
has
been
able
to
protect
more
than
14,000
acres
of
environmentally
important
land
in
the
area.
Altemose’s
family
has
farmed
in
the
Pocono
area
for
generations.
Two
years
ago,
Francis
worked
with
the
local
branch
of
the
Nature
Conservancy
to
include
his
farm
in
a
county
farmland
protection
program.
As
a
result,
his
family’s
land
can
be
protected
from
development
and
the
Altemoses
will
be
better
able
to
provide
a
secure
financial
future
for
their
7-year-old
grandson.
Cook
attributes
the
Conservancy’s
success
in
the
Poconos
to
having
a
local
presence
and
a
commitment
to
working
with
local
residents.
“The
key
to
protecting
these
remarkable
lands
is
connecting
with
the
local
community,”
Cook
said.
“The
people
who
live
here
respect
the
land.
They
value
quiet
forests,
clear
streams
and
abundant
wildlife.
They
are
eager
to
help
with
conservation
efforts.”

(B)
Life
was
easier
when
it
wasn’t
so
long:
learn
when
you’re
young,
work
while
you’re
able,
then
resign
yourself
to
a
slow
period
of
repose
-
and
decline.
But
in
the
past
century,
scientific
advancements
have
added
decades
to
the
average
human
life
span,
leaving
a
person’s
timeline
with
a
long,
often
aimless
tail.
Finding
rewarding
ways
to
fill
these
extra
years
-
particularly
in
ways
that
emphasize
social
ties
-
is
the
best
way
to
prolong
them,
research
is
finding.
“The
things
that
we
understand
now
to
be
important
for
healthy
longevity”
-
things
like
connecting
with
others,
a
positive
outlook,
making
peace
with
getting
older
-
“have
been
trivialized
over
the
years
by
some
scientists.
We
now
know
that
shouldn’t
be
the
case,”
says
Paul
Irving,
chairman
of
the
Center
for
the
Future
of
Aging
at
the
Milken
Institute,
a
think
tank
that
studies
older
age.
“One
of
the
great
opportunities
we
all
have
is
to
continue
that
search
for
meaning,
that
aspiration
to
do
our
most
enjoyable
and
important
work
later
in
our
lives.”
Here
are
other
strategies
that
may
help
you
make
the
most
of
your
extra
years.
EMBRACE
TECHNOLOGY
It’s
hard
to
beat
face
time,
but
FaceTime
(and
the
like)
can
also
help
older
adults
feel
less
alone,
research
shows.
“I
think
a
lot
of
work
can
be
done
to
make
the
existing

more
accommodating
to
older
adults,”
Irving
says.
WELCOME
AGING
Your
feelings
about
getting
older
might
determine
how
well
you
age-and
even
how
well
your
brain
holds
up
against
Alzheimer’s.
A
team
of
researchers
at
Yale
University
found
that
when
people
who
thought
negatively
about
aging
were
simply
primed
to
view
it
in
a
better
light,
they
said
they
felt
more
positively
about
aging
and
even
showed
improvements
in
physical
strength.
SET
GOALS,
TAKE
RISKS
Plenty
of
research
links
a
sense
of
purpose
to
longevity.
But
how
do
people
search
for
a
purpose
if
they
don’t
have
one?
Take
an
online
course,
volunteer,
do
anything
new
that
challenges
you.
“The
assumption
that
you
should
only
do
one
thing
in
your
life,
to
me,
makes
no
sense,”
says
Irving.
EXPECT
THE
BEST
People
with
a
positive
outlook
recover
better
after
having
a
heart
attack
than
those
who
are
more
pessimistic,
a
recent
study
shows.
That’s
partly
because
a
hopeful
attitude
is
linked
to
other
healthy
behaviors,
like
quitting
smoking
and
maintaining
a
healthy
diet.
Optimism
is
also
linked
to
fewer
chronic
illnesses,
less
depression
and
even
a
stronger
immune
response
to
bugs
like
the
flu.

(C)
The
secret
to
eating
less
and
being
happy
about
it
may
have
been
cracked
years
ago—by
McDonald’s.
According
to
a
new
study
from
Cornell
University’s
Food
and
Brand
Lab,
small
non-food
rewards—like
the
toys
in
McDonald’s
Happy
Meals—stimulate
the
same
reward
centers
in
the
brain
as
food
does.
The
researchers,
led
by
Martin
Reimann,
carried
out
a
series
of
experiments
to
see
if
people
would
choose
a
smaller
meal
if
it
was
paired
with
a
non-food
item.
They
found
that
the
majority
of
both
kids
and
adults
opted
for
a
half-sized
portion
when
combined
with
a
prize.
Both
options
were
priced
the
same.
Even
more
interesting
is
that
the
promise
of
a
future
reward
was
enough
to
make
adults
choose
the
smaller
portion.
One
of
the
prizes
used
was
a
lottery
ticket(彩票),
with
a
S10,
$50
or
$100
payout,
and
this
was
as
effective
as
a
tangible
gift
in
persuading
people
to
eat
less.
“The
fact
that
participants
were
willing
to
substitute
part
of
a
food
item
for
the
mere
prospect
of
a
relatively
small
monetary
award
is
interesting,”
says
Reimann.
He
theorizes
that
it
is
the
emotional
component
of
these
intangible
prizes
that
make
them
effective.
In
fact,
vaguely-stated
possibilities
of
winning
a
prize
were
more
effective
than
options
with
hard
odds
included.
“One
explanation
for
this
finding
is
that
possible
awards
may
be
more
emotionally
provoking
than
certainty
awards,”
says
Reimann.
“The
uncertainty
of
winning
provides
added
attraction
and
desirability
through
emotional
‘thrills.’
The
possibility
of
receiving
an
award
also
produces
a
state
of
hope—a
state
that
is
in
itself
psychologically
rewarding.”
In
other
words,
there’s
a
reason
why
people
like
to
gamble.
How
might
this
knowledge
be
used
to
help
people
eat
more
healthily?
One
possibility
is
a
healthy
option
that
offers
the
chance
to
win
a
spa(温泉疗养)weekend.
Or
maybe
the
reward
of
a
half-sized
portion
could
be
a
half-sized
dessert
to
be
claimed
only
on
a
future
date.
That
would
get
you
back
in
the
restaurant—and
make
you
eat
a
little
less.
48.
What
do
we
learn
about
McDonald’s
inclusion
of
toys
in
its
Happy
Meals?
A.
It
may
shed
light
on
people's
desire
to
crack
a
secret.
B.
It
has
proved
to
be
key
to
McDonald’s
business
success.
C.
It
appeals
to
kid’s
curiosity
to
find
out
what
is
hidden
inside.
D.
It
may
be
a
pleasant
way
for
kids
to
reduce
their
food
intake.
49.
What
is
the
finding
of
the
researchers
led
by
Martin
Reimann?
A.
Reducing
food
intake
is
not
that
difficult
if
people
go
to
McDonald’s
more.
B
Most
kids
and
adults
don’t
actually
feel
hungry
when
they
eat
half
of
their
meal.
C
Eating
a
smaller
portion
of
food
does
good
to
the
health
of
kids
and
adults
alike.
D.
Most
kids
and
adults
would
choose
a
smaller
meal
that
came
with
a
non-food
item.
50.
What
is
most
interesting
in
Martin
Reimann’s
finding?
A.
Kids
preferred
an
award
in
the
form
of
money
to
one
in
the
form
of
a
toy.
B.
Adults
chose
the
smaller
portion
on
the
mere
promise
of
a
future
award.
C.
Both
kids
and
adults
felt
satisfied
with
only
half
of
their
meal
portions.
D.
Neither
children
nor
adults
could
resist
the
temptation
of
a
free
toy.
51.
How
does
Martin
Reimann
interpret
his
finding?
A.
The
emotional
component
of
the
prizes
is
at
work.
B.
People
now
care
more
about
quality
than
quantity.
C.
People
prefer
certain
awards
to
possible
awards.
D.
The
desire
for
a
future
reward
is
overwhelming.
52.
What
can
we
infer
from
Martin
Reimann’s
finding?
A.
People
should
eat
much
less
if
they
wish
to
stay
healthy
and
happy.
B.
More
fast
food
restaurants
are
likely
to
follow
McDonald’s
example.
C.
We
can
lead
people
to
eat
less
while
helping
the
restaurant
business.
D.
More
studies
are
needed
to
find
out
the
impact
of
emotion
on
behavior.
Section
C
Directions:
Read
the
following
passage.
Fill
in
each
blank
with
a
proper
sentence
given
in
the
box.
Each
sentence
can
be
used
only
once.
Note
that
there
are
two
more
sentences
that
you
need.
Suppose
you
become
a
leader
in
an
organization.
It’s
very
likely
that
you’ll
want
to
have
volunteers
to
help
with
the
organization’s
activities.
_____53_____
Let’s
begin
with
the
question
of
why
people
volunteer.
Researchers
have
identified
several
factors
that
motivate
people
to
get
involved.
For
example,
people
volunteer
to
express
personal
values
related
to
unselfishness,
to
expand
their
range
of
experiences,
and
to
strengthen
social
relationships.
If
volunteer
positions
do
not
meet
these
needs,
people
may
not
wish
to
participate.
_____54_____
People
also
volunteer
because
they
are
required
to
do
so.
To
increase
levels
of
community
service,
some
schools
have
launched
compulsory
volunteer
programs.
Unfortunately,
these
programs
can
shift
people’s
wish
of
participation
from
an
internal
factor
(e.g.,
“I
volunteer
because
it’s
important
to
me”)
to
an
external
factor
(e.g.,
“I
volunteer
because
I’m
required
to
do
so”).
__________55__________
People
must
be
sensitive
to
this
possibility
when
they
make
volunteer
activities
a
must.
Once
people
begin
to
volunteer,
what
leads
them
to
remain
in
their
positions
over
time?
To
answer
this
question,
researchers
have
conducted
follow-up
studies
in
which
they
track
volunteers
over
time.
Having
followed
238
volunteers
in
Florida
over
a
year,
they
have
found
that
one
of
the
most
important
factors
that
influenced
their
satisfaction
as
volunteers
was
the
amount
of
suffering
they
experienced
in
their
volunteer
positions.
This
result
may
lead
to
practical
advice.
The
researchers
note
that
attention
should
be
given
to
“training
methods
that
would
prepare
volunteers
for
troublesome
situations
or
provide
them
with
strategies
for
coping
with
the
problem
they
do
experience”.
______56______
It
was
assumed
that
those
people
for
whom
the
role
of
volunteer
was
most
part
of
their
personal
identity
would
also
be
most
likely
to
continue
volunteer
work.
Participants
indicated
the
degree
to
which
the
social
role
mattered
by
responding
to
statements
such
as
“Volunteering
in
Hospital
is
an
important
part
of
who
I
am.”
Consistent
with
the
researchers’
expectations,
they
found
a
positive
correlation
between
the
strength
of
role
identity
and
the
length
of
time
people
continued
to
volunteer.
A.
Another
study
of
302
volunteers
at
hospitals
in
Chicago
focused
on
individual
differences
in
the
degree
to
which
people
view
“volunteer”
as
an
important
social
role.
B.
To
select
volunteers,
you
may
need
to
understand
the
motivations
of
the
people
you
wish
to
attract.
C.
When
that
happens,
people
become
less
likely
to
volunteer
in
the
future.
D.
So
it
is
of
great
importance
to
study
volunteer
behaviors
and
how
to
organize
volunteer
activities.
E.
To
do
so,
it
should
help
to
understand
why
people
undertake
volunteer
work
and
what
keeps
their
interest
in
the
work.
F.
These
results
also
suggest
that
continued
efforts
might
focus
on
developing
a
volunteer
role
identity.

Are
Bamboo-Eating
Pandas
Really
Herbivores?
On
the
outside,
giant
pandas
look
like
herbivores
(食草动物).
They
spend
nearly
all
of
their
waking
hours
___57___
(eat)
bamboo.
But
on
the
inside,
they’re
built
like
carnivores
(食肉动物).
About
half
of
the
calories
they
eat
come
from
protein,
according
to
a
new
study.
The
ancestor
of
giant
pandas
were
omnivorous
(杂食的).
They
ate
both
animals
and
plants,
and
had
the
digestive
system
and
gut
bacteria
to
metabolize
(使发生新陈代谢)
them.
They
had
“umami
taste
receptors,”
to
appreciate
the
flavors
of
meat.
However,
about
2.4
million
years
ago,
things
began
to
change.
The
gene
for
their
“umami
taste
receptors”
became
___58___
(active).
Their
jaw
and
teeth
evolved
to
help
them
crush
bamboo,
and
their
wrist
bone
became
capable
of
grasping
the
stalks
(秆)
of
their
favorite
plant.
Scientists
think
pandas
switched
to
eating
bamboo
partly
___59___
they
didn’t
have
to
fight
with
other
animals
to
get
it.
Bamboo
is
high
in
fiber
but
has
a
low
concentration
of
nutrients,
so
pandas
___60___
eat
20
to
40
pounds
of
the
plant
every
day
just
to
get
by.
David
Raubenheimer,
a
nutritional
ecologist
at
the
University
of
Sydney,
and
his
colleagues
put
GPS
trackers
on
two
giant
pandas
and
followed
their
movements
throughout
the
year.
They
discovered
that
the
pandas
followed
the
protein.
Between
August
and
April,
they___61___
(seek)
food
in
low
elevations
(海拔)
on
China’s
Qinling
Mountains.
At
the
start
of
the
cycle,
they
ate
Bashania
fargesii
leaves
___62___
they
got
the
chance
to
feast
on
young
shoots,
which
contained
more
protein.
The
more
the
shoots
grew,
the
more
their
protein
was
diluted
(冲淡)
by
fiber.
That
caused
the
pandas
to
move
to
higher
ground,
___63___
Fargesia
qinlingensis
grew.
First,
they
ate
the
shoots,
but
these,
too,
went
from
being
protein-rich
to
fiber-rich
as
they
grew.
The
pandas
responded
by
switching
to
the
leaves.
They
fed
___64___
them
until
they
went
back
down
the
mountain
and
started
eating
Bashania
fargesii
leaves
again.
The
researchers
found
that
about
half
of
the
calories
the
pandas
ate
were
in
the
form
of
protein.
Scientists
think
the
research
shows
that
pandas
are
very
clever.
“They
can
know
exactly
where
to
go,
and
when
to
go,
so
they
can
get
the
most
of
the
nutrients
___65___
their
ecosystem
can
provide,”
said
Silvia
Pineda-Munoz,
who
was
not
involved
in
the
study.
The
work
also
shows
that
classifying
an
animal
as
herbivore
or
carnivore
is
more
complex
than
one
might
assume.
“It’s
not
___66___
you’re
eating
plants
but
what
part
of
the
plants
you’re
eating,”
said
Pineda-Munoz.

Four-mile
Stretches
From
my
home
on
California’s
Monterey
Peninsula,
there
is
no
easy
way
to
get
anywhere.
To
go
north,
for
instance,
to
San
Francisco,
you
take
Highway.
1,
and
proceed
to
101,
also
known
as
the
Freeway
to
Make
You
Lose
Your
Religion.
Most
of
that
route
is
a
multi-lane
road,
___67___
depending
on
weather
and
traffic,
can
either
take
you
where
you’re
going
or
drive
you
out
of
your
mind.
Sometimes
it
does
___68___.
But
the
part
I
dread
most
-
or
___69___
at
one
time
-
is
a
two-lane
stretch
of
156
that
connects
highways
1
and
101.
In
the
South,
where
I
grew
up,
such
roads
are
called
cow
trails
because
they’re
frequented
by
tractors
and
other
slow-moving
vehicles
that
trot
along,
nose
to
tail,
at
bovine
speed;
and
also
because
if
you
get
on
such
a
road,
you’ll
be
___70___
it
until
the
cows
come
home.
In
some
ways,
roads
are
like
people;
they
have
personalities
that
are
shaped
by
how
we
see
them
and
feel
about
them.
I
discovered
that
when
my
first
husband
was
diagnosed
with
cancer
and
we
began
___71___
would
be
a
four-year
pilgrimage
to
Stanford
Medical
Center
for
treatment.
It
was
91
miles
-
two
hours,
give
or
take
-
and
I
hated
every
inch
of
it,
especially,
that
two-lane
bottleneck.
I
did
everything
I
could
to
avoid
it.
I
begged
to
get
appointments
at
off-peak
times,
only
to
end
up
___72___
(stick)
in
rush-hour
traffic
going
home.
I
spent
hours
poring
over
maps
and
drove
miles
out
of
the
way
trying
to
get
around
it,
only
to
realize
it
really
didn’t
matter;
there
was
no
___73___
(get)
around
it.
I
had
no
choice
but
to
drive
it.
But
that
didn’t
mean
I
had
to
like
it.
I
___74___
clench
my
teeth,
grip
the
wheel
and
feel
my
stomach
churn.
Once,
when
running
late
for
an
appointment,
I
muttered,
“I
hate
this
stupid
road.”
I
didn’t
think
my
husband
could
hear
me.
Morphine
is
great
for
pain,
but
it
doesn’t
do
much
for
conversation.
“Four
miles,”
he
said.
I
looked
over.
His
eyes
were
closed.
“What
did
you
say?”
“This
part
of
the
road,”
he
said,
using
his
teaching
voice,
___75___
lecturing
his
high
school
physics
students.
“It’s
only
four
miles
long.
That’s
easy.
You
can
do
anything
for
four
miles.”
I
clocked
it.
He
was
right.
Four
miles
exactly.
I
___76___
(swear)
it
was
20.
And
then
a
strange
thing
happened.
Somehow,
that
drive
got
easier.
I
don’t
mean
it
seemed
easier;
I
mean
it
was.
Sometimes,
when
the
road
ahead
seems
longer
and
harder
than
I
want
it
to
be,
I
break
it
up
in
pieces,
in
my
mind
and
my
heart
and
even
my
soul.
I
divide
it
into
four-mile
stretches
and
take
them
one
at
a
time.
Some
roads
seem
impassable.

And
if

passage

A,
B,
C
and
D.
Fill
in
each
blank
with
the
word
or
phrase
that
best
fits
the
context.
(A)
In
the
1960s,
African
American
mothers
noticed
something
wrong
in
their
children’s
seemingly
innocent
class
photos.
Every
year,
youngsters
tidied
up
in
their
Sunday
best
for
their
school
picture,
yet
these
treasured
images
didn’t
___11___
Black
and
White
children
equally.
White
children
were
rendered
(使成为)
as
they
look
in
everyday
life,
while
African
American
children
lost
___12___
of
their
faces
and
turned
into
ink
blots
(墨渍).
The
film
could
not
simultaneously
capture
both
dark
and
light
skin.
For
decades,
this
flaw
of
the
film
remained
out
of
___13___,
when
Black
boys
and
girls
and
white
boys
and
girls
were
photographed
separately.
But
with
the
integration
of
schools,
Black
mothers
___14___
that
color
film
left
their
Black
children
in
the
shadows.
In
2015,
two
London-based
photographers,
Adam
Broomberg
and
Oliver
Chanarin,
wanted
to
find
out
why
the
film
could
not
capture
the
___15___
of
children
of
all
races
in
a
school
photograph.
When
these
photographers
tested
the
film,
they
found
the
film
was
optimized
for
___16___
skin.
It
was
this
film’s
hidden
history
that
was
the
___17___
faces
in
a
class
photo
came
out
so
differently.
All
that
changed,
___18___,
when
large
corporations
made
a
fuss
about
Kodak’s
film,
which
they
bought
in
bulk
for
advertising.
A
team
of
two
unlikely
businesses
–
furniture
makers
and
chocolate
manufacturers
–
___19___
against
Kodak’s
films
for
discriminating
against
dark
hues.
Kodak
employees
worked
hard
to
fix
the
film,
making
new
film
formulations
and
testing
them
by
taking
photos.
While
the
complaints
from
Black
mothers
could
not
change
Kodak,
those
from
these
companies
could.
By
the
late
1970s,
new
-
and
more
___20___
-
formulations
of
color
film
were
in
the
works,
and
the
new
and
improved
Kodak
Gold
film
was
on
the
market
by
the
following
decade.
Technologies,
such
as
photographic
films,
sometimes
capture
the
beliefs
and
values
of
the
times.
This
bias
built
into
technology
has
___21___
today.
Today,
some
web
cameras,
following
instructions
from
algorithms
(算法),
are
unable
to
recognize
a
dark
face,
but
do
so
___22___
for
a
white
one.
What
the
makers
of
film
and
cameras
and
other
technologies
have
experienced
is
a
tacit
(心照不宣的)
subscription
to
a
belief
of
a
standard.
___23___,
they
have
gotten
on
the
escalator
of
“this
is
how
we
do
things”
without
asking
why.
Scholars
would
describe
this
type
of
bias
as
one
that
implicitly
(完全地)
and
___24___
accepts
norms.
But
it
isn’t
the
___25___
fault;
they
are
only
doing
what
the
lines
of
code
written
by
humans
tell
them
to
do.
These
devices
capture
the
biases
that
exist
in
our
world
and,
in
turn,
speak
to
whom
a
culture
values.

capture
both

decades,…Black
boys
and
girls
and
white
boys
and

“This
film’s

inclusive广泛的;B.
persuasive有说服力的;C.
decisive决定性的;D.

David
Dunning,
a
psychologist
at
Cornell
University,
and
Justin
Kruger,
his
graduate
student,
reason
that
while
almost
everyone
holds
favourable
views
of
their
abilities
in
various
social
and
intellectual
domains,
some
people
mistakenly
assess
their
abilities
as
being
much
higher
than
they
actually
are.
This
“illusion
of
___26___”
is
now
called
the
“Dunning-Kruger
effect”,
which
describes
the
cognitive
prejudice
to
increase
self-assessment.
To
___27___
this
phenomenon
in
the
lab,
Dunning
and
Kruger
designed
some
clever
experiments.
In
one
study,
they
asked
undergraduate
students
a
series
of
questions
about
grammar,
logic
and
jokes,
and
then
asked
each
student
to
estimate
his
or
her
score
overall,
as
well
as
their
relative
___28___
compared
to
the
other
students.
Interestingly,
students
who
scored
the
lowest
in
these
cognitive
tasks
always
___29___
how
well
they
did
–
by
a
lot.
Students
who
scored
in
the
___30___
one-fourth
estimated
that
they
had
performed
better
than
two-thirds
of
the
other
students!
This
“illusion
of
confidence”
___31___
beyond
the
classroom
and
spreads
through
everyday
life.
In
a
follow-up
study,
Dunning
and
Kruger
left
the
lab
and
went
to
a
gun
range,
where
they
quizzed
gun
hobbyists
about
gun
safety.
___32___
to
their
previous
findings,
those
who
answered
the
fewest
questions
correctly
wildly
overestimated
their
knowledge
about
firearms.
Outside
of
factual
knowledge,
___33___,
the
Dunning-Kruger
effect
can
also
be
observed
in
people’s
self-assessment
of
other
personal
abilities.
If
you
watch
any
talent
show
on
television
today,
you
will
see
the
___34___
on
the
faces
of
contestants
who
don’t
make
it
past
auditions
(海选)
and
are
___35___
by
the
judges.
While
it
is
almost
___36___
to
us,
these
people
are
genuinely
unaware
of
how
much
they
have
been
___37___
by
their
illusory
superiority.
Sure,
it’s
typical
for
people
to
overestimate
their
abilities.
One
study
found
that
80
per
cent
of
drivers
rate
themselves
as
above
average.
And
similar
___38___
have
been
found
when
people
rate
their
relative
popularity
and
cognitive
abilities.
The
problem
is
that
when
people
are
incompetent,
not
only
do
they
reach
wrong
conclusions
and
make
unfortunate
choices
but,
also,
they
are
___39___
of
the
ability
to
realize
their
mistakes.
Instead
of
being
confused,
perplexed
or
thoughtful
about
their
erroneous
ways,
incompetent
people
insist
that
their
ways
are
___40___.

Directions:
Read
the
following
four
passages.
Each
passage
is
followed
by
several
questions
or
unfinished
statements.
For
each
of
them
there
are
four
choices
marked
A,
B,
C
and
D.
Choose
the
one
that
fits
best
according
to
the
information
given
in
the
passage
you
have
just
read.
(A)
Two
hours
from
the
tall
buildings
of
Philadelphia
live
some
of
the
world’s
largest
bears.
They
are
in
northern
Pennsylvania’s
Pocono
Mountains,
a
home
they
share
with
an
abundance
(丰富)
of
other
wildlife.
The
streams,
lakes,
grasslands,
mountain
and
forests
that
make
the
Poconos
an
ideal
place
for
black
bears
have
also
attracted
more
people
to
the
region.
Open
spaces
are
threatened
by
plans
for
housing
estates
and
important
habitats
are
endangered
by
highway
construction.
To
protect
the
Pocono’s
natural
beauty
from
irresponsible
development,
the
Nature
Conservancy
named
the
area
one
of
America’s
“Last
Great
Places”.
Operating
out
of
a
century-old
schoolhouse
in
the
village
of
Long
Pond,
Bud
Cook,
the
president
of
the
Conservancy,
is
working
with
local
people
and
business
leaders
to
balance
economic
growth
with
environmental
protection.
By
forming
partnerships
with
people
like
Francis
Altemose,
the
Conservancy
has
been
able
to
protect
more
than
14,000
acres
of
environmentally
important
land
in
the
area.
Altemose’s
family
has
farmed
in
the
Pocono
area
for
generations.
Two
years
ago,
Francis
worked
with
the
local
branch
of
the
Nature
Conservancy
to
include
his
farm
in
a
county
farmland
protection
program.
As
a
result,
his
family’s
land
can
be
protected
from
development
and
the
Altemoses
will
be
better
able
to
provide
a
secure
financial
future
for
their
7-year-old
grandson.
Cook
attributes
the
Conservancy’s
success
in
the
Poconos
to
having
a
local
presence
and
a
commitment
to
working
with
local
residents.
“The
key
to
protecting
these
remarkable
lands
is
connecting
with
the
local
community,”
Cook
said.
“The
people
who
live
here
respect
the
land.
They
value
quiet
forests,
clear
streams
and
abundant
wildlife.
They
are
eager
to
help
with
conservation
efforts.”

(B)
Life
was
easier
when
it
wasn’t
so
long:
learn
when
you’re
young,
work
while
you’re
able,
then
resign
yourself
to
a
slow
period
of
repose
-
and
decline.
But
in
the
past
century,
scientific
advancements
have
added
decades
to
the
average
human
life
span,
leaving
a
person’s
timeline
with
a
long,
often
aimless
tail.
Finding
rewarding
ways
to
fill
these
extra
years
-
particularly
in
ways
that
emphasize
social
ties
-
is
the
best
way
to
prolong
them,
research
is
finding.
“The
things
that
we
understand
now
to
be
important
for
healthy
longevity”
-
things
like
connecting
with
others,
a
positive
outlook,
making
peace
with
getting
older
-
“have
been
trivialized
over
the
years
by
some
scientists.
We
now
know
that
shouldn’t
be
the
case,”
says
Paul
Irving,
chairman
of
the
Center
for
the
Future
of
Aging
at
the
Milken
Institute,
a
think
tank
that
studies
older
age.
“One
of
the
great
opportunities
we
all
have
is
to
continue
that
search
for
meaning,
that
aspiration
to
do
our
most
enjoyable
and
important
work
later
in
our
lives.”
Here
are
other
strategies
that
may
help
you
make
the
most
of
your
extra
years.
EMBRACE
TECHNOLOGY
It’s
hard
to
beat
face
time,
but
FaceTime
(and
the
like)
can
also
help
older
adults
feel
less
alone,
research
shows.
“I
think
a
lot
of
work
can
be
done
to
make
the
existing
social
networks
more
accommodating
to
older
adults,”
Irving
says.
WELCOME
AGING
Your
feelings
about
getting
older
might
determine
how
well
you
age-and
even
how
well
your
brain
holds
up
against
Alzheimer’s.
A
team
of
researchers
at
Yale
University
found
that
when
people
who
thought
negatively
about
aging
were
simply
primed
to
view
it
in
a
better
light,
they
said
they
felt
more
positively
about
aging
and
even
showed
improvements
in
physical
strength.
SET
GOALS,
TAKE
RISKS
Plenty
of
research
links
a
sense
of
purpose
to
longevity.
But
how
do
people
search
for
a
purpose
if
they
don’t
have
one?
Take
an
online
course,
volunteer,
do
anything
new
that
challenges
you.
“The
assumption
that
you
should
only
do
one
thing
in
your
life,
to
me,
makes
no
sense,”
says
Irving.
EXPECT
THE
BEST
People
with
a
positive
outlook
recover
better
after
having
a
heart
attack
than
those
who
are
more
pessimistic,
a
recent
study
shows.
That’s
partly
because
a
hopeful
attitude
is
linked
to
other
healthy
behaviors,
like
quitting
smoking
and
maintaining
a
healthy
diet.
Optimism
is
also
linked
to
fewer
chronic
illnesses,
less
depression
and
even
a
stronger
immune
response
to
bugs
like
the
flu.
45.
What
does
Paul
Irving
mean
by
saying
“that
shouldn’t
be
the
case”
in
Paragraph
2?
A.
The
things
important
for
healthy
long
life
are
not
proved
scientifically.
B.
Healthy
longevity
is
not
an
appropriate
case
for
scientists
to
focus
on.
C.
It’s
improper
for
scientists
to
dismiss
the
things
important
for
longevity.
D.
Emphasizing
social
ties
should
not
be
dismissed
by
those
scientists.
46.
Which
strategy
mentioned
in
the
article
can
help
fight
against
Alzheimer’s
disease?
A.
Embrace
technology.
B.
Welcome
aging.
C.
Set
goals,
take
risks.
D.
Expect
the
best.
47.
Which
of
the
following
statement
is
true
according
to
the
article?
A.
Doing
one
thing
well
in
life
makes
extra
years
in
life
meaningful.
B.
Technology
promotes
and
strengthens
old
people’s
social
network.
C.
Extra
years
should
not
be
spent
committing
to
enjoyable
work.
D.
A
positive
outlook
contributes
to
quicker
recovery
and

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。与他人联系、积极的态度、从容面对变老等因素对健康长寿很重要。文章对如何做到健康长寿提出了建议。
【45题详解】
句意猜测题。根据第二段第二句““The
things
that
we
understand
now
to
be
important
for
healthy
longevity”
-
things
like
connecting
with
others,
a
positive
outlook,
making
peace
with
getting
older
-
“have
been
trivialized
over
the
years
by
some
scientists.”(“我们现在理解的对健康长寿很重要的事情”——诸如与他人联系、积极的态度、从容面对变老——“多年来一直被一些科学家忽视。”)可知,Paul
Irving说“that
shouldn’t
be
the
case”的意思是科学家们忽视这些长寿的重要因素是不恰当的。故选C。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“Your
feelings
about
getting
older
might
determine
how
well
you
age-and
even
how
well
your
brain
holds
up
against
Alzheimer’s.
”(你对变老的感觉可能决定你衰老的程度,甚至决定你的大脑抵抗老年痴呆症的能力。)和第二句中的“when
people
who
thought
negatively
about
aging
were
simply
primed
to
view
it
in
a
better
light,
they
said
they
felt
more
positively
about
aging
and
even
showed
improvements
in
physical
strength.”(当那些对衰老持负面看法的人从更好的角度来看待衰老时,他们说他们对衰老的看法更加积极,甚至在体力方面也有了改善。)可知,文章中提到欢迎衰老可以帮助对抗老年痴呆症。故选B。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段前两句“People
with
a
positive
outlook
recover
better
after
having
a
heart
attack
than
those
who
are
more
pessimistic,
a
recent
study
shows.
That’s
partly
because
a
hopeful
attitude
is
linked
to
other
healthy
behaviors,
like
quitting
smoking
and
maintaining
a
healthy
diet.
”(最近的一项研究表明,乐观的人在心脏病发作后比悲观的人恢复得更好。这在一定程度上是因为充满希望的态度与其他健康的行为有关,比如戒烟和保持健康的饮食。)可知,积极的态度有助于更快的恢复和健康的行为。故选D。
(C)
The
secret
to
eating
less
and
being
happy
about
it
may
have
been
cracked
years
ago—by
McDonald’s.
According
to
a
new
study
from
Cornell
University’s
Food
and
Brand
Lab
small
non-food
rewards—like
the
toys
in
McDonald’s
Happy
Meals—stimulate
the
same
reward
centers
in
the
brain
as
food
does.
The
researchers,
led
by
Martin
Reimann,
carried
out
a
series
of
experiments
to
see
if
people
would
choose
a
smaller
meal
if
it
was
paired
with
a
non-food
item.
They
found
that
the
majority
of
both
kids
and
adults
opted
for
a
half-sized
portion
when
combined
with
a
prize.
Both
options
were
priced
the
same.
Even
more
interesting
is
that
the
promise
of
a
future
reward
was
enough
to
make
adults
choose
the
smaller
portion.
One
of
the
prizes
used
was
a
lottery
ticket(彩票),
with
a
S10,
$50
or
$100
payout,
and
this
was
as
effective
as
a
tangible
gift
in
persuading
people
to
eat
less.
“The
fact
that
participants
were
willing
to
substitute
part
of
a
food
item
for
the
mere
prospect
of
a
relatively
small
monetary
award
is
interesting,”
says
Reimann.
He
theorizes
that
it
is
the
emotional
component
of
these
intangible
prizes
that
make
them
effective.
In
fact,
vaguely-stated
possibilities
of
winning
a
prize
were
more
effective
than
options
with
hard
odds
included.
“One
explanation
for
this
finding
is
that
possible
awards
may
be
more
emotionally
provoking
than
certainty
awards,”
says
Reimann.
“The
uncertainty
of
winning
provides
added
attraction
and
desirability
through
emotional
‘thrills.’
The
possibility
of
receiving
an
award
also
produces
a
state
of
hope—a
state
that
is
in
itself
psychologically
rewarding.”
In
other
words,
there’s
a
reason
why
people
like
to
gamble.
How
might
this
knowledge
be
used
to
help
people
eat
more
healthily?
One
possibility
is
a
healthy
option
that
offers
the
chance
to
win
a
spa(温泉疗养)weekend.
Or
maybe
the
reward
of
a
half-sized
portion
could
be
a
half-sized
dessert
to
be
claimed
only
on
a
future
date.
That
would
get
you
back
in
the
restaurant—and
make
you
eat
a
little
less.
48.
What
do
we
learn
about
McDonald’s
inclusion
of
toys
in
its
Happy
Meals?
A.
It
may
shed
light
on
people's
desire
to
crack
a
secret.
B.
It
has
proved
to
be

what
is
hidden
inside.
D.
It
may
be
a
pleasant
way
for
kids
to
reduce
their
food
intake.
49.
What
is
the
finding
of
the
researchers
led
by
Martin
Reimann?
A.
Reducing
food
intake
is
not
that
difficult
if
people
go
to
McDonald’s
more.
B.
Most
kids
and
adults
don’t
actually
feel
hungry
when
they
eat
half
of
their
meal.
C.
Eating
a
smaller
portion
of
food
does
good
to
the
health
of
kids
and
adults
alike.
D
Most
kids
and
adults
would
choose
a
smaller
meal
that
came
with
a
non-food
item.
50.
What
is
most
interesting
in
Martin
Reimann’s
finding?
A.
Kids
preferred
an
award
in
the
form
of
money
to
one
in
the
form
of
a
toy.
B.
Adults
chose
the
smaller
portion
on
the
mere
promise
of
a
future
award.
C.
Both
kids
and
adults
felt
satisfied
with
only
half
of
their
meal
portions.
D.
Neither
children
nor
adults
could
resist
the
temptation
of
a
free
toy.
51.
How
does
Martin
Reimann
interpret
his
finding?
A.
The
emotional
component
of
the
prizes
is
at
work.
B.
People
now
care
more
about
quality
than
quantity.
C.
People
prefer
certain
awards
to
possible
awards.
D.
The
desire
for
a
future
reward
is
overwhelming.
52.
What
can
we
infer
from
Martin
Reimann’s
finding?
A.
People
should
eat
much
less
if
they
wish
to
stay
healthy
and
happy.
B.
More
fast
food
restaurants
are
likely
to
follow
McDonald’s
example.
C.
We
can
lead
people
to
eat
less
while
helping
the
restaurant
business.
D.
More

non-food
rewards—like
the
toys
in
McDonald’s
Happy
Meals—stimulate
the
same
reward
centers
in
the

【52题详解】
推理判断题。上文中提到可以通过给人们提供非食物的奖励让人们少进食。文章最后一段提到如何利用这些知识来帮助人们更健康地饮食,如:你可以通过选择健康饮食赢得周末温泉疗养的机会,或者奖励在将来的约会上可以吃一个甜点。根据最后一段That
would
get
you
back
in
the
restaurant—and
make
you
eat
a
little
less可知,采取这种非食物的奖励,让人们既可以到餐馆就餐,又会少吃。所以我们能从马丁·雷曼的发现中推断出我们可以引导人们少吃,同时帮助了餐馆的生意。故选C项。

Read
the
following
passage.
Fill
in
each
blank
with
a
proper
sentence
given
in
the
box.
Each
sentence
can
be
used
only
once.
Note
that
there
are
two
more
sentences
that
you
need.
Suppose
you
become
a
leader
in
an
organization.
It’s
very
likely
that
you’ll
want
to
have
volunteers
to
help
with
the
organization’s
activities.
_____53_____
Let’s
begin
with
the
question
of
why
people
volunteer.
Researchers
have
identified
several
factors
that
motivate
people
to
get
involved.
For
example,
people
volunteer
to
express
personal
values
related
to
unselfishness,
to
expand
their
range
of
experiences,
and
to
strengthen
social
relationships.
If
volunteer
positions
do
not
meet
these
needs,
people
may
not
wish
to
participate.
_____54_____
People
also
volunteer
because
they
are
required
to
do
so.
To
increase
levels
of
community
service,
some
schools
have
launched
compulsory
volunteer
programs.
Unfortunately,
these
programs
can
shift
people’s
wish
of
participation
from
an
internal
factor
(e.g.,
“I
volunteer
because
it’s
important
to
me”)
to
an
external
factor
(e.g.,
“I
volunteer
because
I’m
required
to
do
so”).
__________55__________
People
must
be
sensitive
to
this
possibility
when
they
make
volunteer
activities
a
must.
Once
people
begin
to
volunteer,
what
leads
them
to
remain
in
their
positions
over
time?
To
answer
this
question,
researchers
have
conducted
follow-up
studies
in
which
they
track
volunteers
over
time.
Having
followed
238
volunteers
in
Florida
over
a
year,
they
have
found
that
one
of
the
most
important
factors
that
influenced
their
satisfaction
as
volunteers
was
the
amount
of
suffering
they
experienced
in
their
volunteer
positions.
This
result
may
lead
to
practical
advice.
The
researchers
note
that
attention
should
be
given
to
“training
methods
that
would
prepare
volunteers
for
troublesome
situations
or
provide
them
with
strategies
for
coping
with
the
problem
they
do
experience”.
______56______
It
was
assumed
that
those
people
for
whom
the
role
of
volunteer
was
most
part
of
their
personal
identity
would
also
be
most
likely
to
continue
volunteer
work.
Participants
indicated
the
degree
to
which
the
social
role
mattered
by
responding
to
statements
such
as
“Volunteering
in
Hospital
is
an
important
part
of
who
I
am.”
Consistent
with
the
researchers’
expectations,
they
found
a
positive
correlation
between
the
strength
of
role
identity
and
the
length
of
time
people
continued
to
volunteer.
A.
Another
study
of
302
volunteers
at
hospitals
in
Chicago
focused
on
individual
differences
in
the
degree
to
which
people
view
“volunteer”
as
an
important
social
role.
B.
To
select
volunteers,
you
may
need
to
understand
the
motivations
of
the
people
you
wish
to
attract.
C.
When
that
happens,
people
become
less
likely
to
volunteer
in
the
future.
D.
So
it
is
of
great
importance
to
study
volunteer
behaviors
and
how
to
organize
volunteer
activities.
E.
To
do
so,
it
should
help
to
understand
why
people
undertake
volunteer
work
and
what
keeps
their
interest
in
the
work.
F.
These
results
also
suggest
that
continued
efforts
might
focus
on
developing
a
volunteer
role
identity.

that
you’ll
want
to
have

do
so,
it
should
help
to
understand
why
people
undertake
volunteer
work
and
what
keeps
their
interest
in

根据上文“If
volunteer
positions
do
not
meet
these
needs,
people
may
not

the
motivations
of
the
people
you
wish
to

根据下文“People
must
be
sensitive
to
this
possibility
when
they
make
volunteer
activities
a

that
happens,
people
become
less
likely
to
volunteer
in
the
future.”(当这种情况发生时,人们在未来就不太可能去做志愿者了。)符合题意,故选C项。
【56题详解】
根据后文“Consistent
with
the
researchers’
expectations,
they
found
a
positive
correlation
between
the
strength
of
role
identity
and
the
length
of

people
continued
to

of
302
volunteers
at
hospitals
in
Chicago
focused
on
individual
differences
in

Are
Bamboo-Eating
Pandas
Really
Herbivores?
On
the
outside,
giant
pandas
look
like
herbivores
(食草动物).
They
spend
nearly
all
of
their
waking
hours
___57___
(eat)
bamboo.
But
on
the
inside,
they’re
built
like
carnivores
(食肉动物).
About
half
of
the
calories
they
eat
come
from
protein,
according
to
a
new
study.
The
ancestor
of
giant
pandas
were
omnivorous
(杂食的).
They
ate
both
animals
and
plants,
and
had
the
digestive
system
and
gut
bacteria
to
metabolize
(使发生新陈代谢)
them.
They
had
“umami
taste
receptors,”
to
appreciate
the
flavors
of
meat.
However,
about
2.4
million
years
ago,
things
began
to
change.
The
gene
for
their
“umami
taste
receptors”
became
___58___
(active).
Their
jaw
and
teeth
evolved
to
help
them
crush
bamboo,
and
their
wrist
bone
became
capable
of
grasping
the
stalks
(秆)
of
their
favorite
plant.
Scientists
think
pandas
switched
to
eating
bamboo
partly
___59___
they
didn’t
have
to
fight
with
other
animals
to
get
it.
Bamboo
is
high
in
fiber
but
has
a
low
concentration
of
nutrients,
so
pandas
___60___
eat
20
to
40
pounds
of
the
plant
every
day
just
to
get
by.
David
Raubenheimer,
a
nutritional
ecologist
at
the
University
of
Sydney,
and
his
colleagues
put
GPS
trackers
on
two
giant
pandas
and
followed
their
movements
throughout
the
year.
They
discovered
that
the
pandas
followed
the
protein.
Between
August
and
April,
they___61___
(seek)
food
in
low
elevations
(海拔)
on
China’s
Qinling
Mountains.
At
the
start
of
the
cycle,
they
ate
Bashania
fargesii
leaves
___62___
they
got
the
chance
to
feast
on
young
shoots,
which
contained
more
protein.
The
more
the
shoots
grew,
the
more
their
protein
was
diluted
(冲淡)
by
fiber.
That
caused
the
pandas
to
move
to
higher
ground,
___63___
Fargesia
qinlingensis
grew.
First,
they
ate
the
shoots,
but
these,
too,
went
from
being
protein-rich
to
fiber-rich
as
they
grew.
The
pandas
responded
by
switching
to
the
leaves.
They
fed
___64___
them
until
they
went
back
down
the
mountain
and
started
eating
Bashania
fargesii
leaves
again.
The
researchers
found
that
about
half
of
the
calories
the
pandas
ate
were
in
the
form
of
protein.
Scientists
think
the
research
shows
that
pandas
are
very
clever.
“They
can
know
exactly
where
to
go,
and
when
to
go,
so
they
can
get
the
most
of
the
nutrients
___65___
their
ecosystem
can
provide,”
said
Silvia
Pineda-Munoz,
who
was
not
involved
in
the
study.
The
work
also
shows
that
classifying
an
animal
as
herbivore
or
carnivore
is
more
complex
than
one
might
assume.
“It’s
not
___66___
you’re
eating
plants
but
what
part
of
the
plants
you’re
eating,”
said
Pineda-Munoz.

【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章对大熊猫是草食动物进行了说明。
【57题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:它们几乎所有醒着的时间都在吃竹子。spend...(in)doing意为“花(时间、金钱)做某事”,为固定搭配。故填eating。
【58题详解】
考查比较级。句意:它们的“鲜味感受器”基因变得不那么活跃。根据前文They
had
“umami
taste
receptors,”
to
appreciate
the
flavors
of
meat.(它们有“鲜味感受器”来品尝肉类的味道。)可知,“鲜味感受器”是用来品尝肉类的味道的,但是后来熊猫主要吃竹子了,所以“鲜味感受器”不那么活跃了,所以应用比较级。故填less
active。
【59题详解】
考查连词。句意:科学家们认为,熊猫转而吃竹子的部分原因是它们不必与其他动物争夺竹子。“they
didn’t
have
to
fight
with

to
get
it”是“pandas
switched
to

考查动词短语。句意:竹子纤维含量高,但营养含量低,所以熊猫每天要吃20到40磅竹子才能勉强度日。根据“Bamboo
is
high
in
fiber
but

low
concentration
of
nutrients”可知,熊猫每天不得不吃20到40磅竹子才能勉强度日。表示“不得不”应用have
to
do。故填have
to。

got
the
chance
to
feast
on
young
shoots,

contained
more
protein”可知,嫩芽含有更多蛋白质,是更好的食物,所以此处是指直到有机会吃到含有更多蛋白质的嫩芽,应用until表示“直到”,引导时间状语从句。故填until。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这导致大熊猫迁往海拔较高的地方,也就是秦岭箭竹生长的地方。定语从句中不缺少主语、宾语或表语,且先行词为higher

on意为“以……为食”,为固定搭配。故填on。

or
carnivore
is
more
complex
than
one
might
assume.”(这项研究还表明,将动物分类为草食动物或食肉动物比人们想象的要复杂得多。)提到的将动物分类为草食动物或食肉动物,所以此处是指关键不在于你是否吃植物,而在于你吃的是植物的哪一部分。表示“是否”应用whether引导表语从句。故填whether。

Four-mile
Stretches
From
my
home
on
California’s
Monterey
Peninsula,
there
is
no
easy
way
to
get
anywhere.
To
go
north,
for
instance,
to
San
Francisco,
you
take
Highway.
1,
and
proceed
to
101,
also
known
as
the
Freeway
to
Make
You
Lose
Your
Religion.
Most
of
that
route
is
a
multi-lane
road,
___67___
depending
on
weather
and
traffic,
can
either
take
you
where
you’re
going
or
drive
you
out
of
your
mind.
Sometimes
it
does
___68___.
But
the
part
I
dread
most
-
or
___69___
at
one
time
-
is
a
two-lane
stretch
of
156
that
connects
highways
1
and
101.
In
the
South,
where
I
grew
up,
such
roads
are
called
cow
trails
because
they’re
frequented
by
tractors
and
other
slow-moving
vehicles
that
trot
along,
nose
to
tail,
at
bovine
speed;
and
also
because
if
you
get
on
such
a
road,
you’ll
be
___70___
it
until
the
cows
come
home.
In
some
ways,
roads
are
like
people;
they
have
personalities
that
are
shaped
by
how
we
see
them
and
feel
about
them.
I
discovered
that
when
my
first
husband
was
diagnosed
with
cancer
and
we
began
___71___
would
be
a
four-year
pilgrimage
to
Stanford
Medical
Center
for
treatment.
It
was
91
miles
-
two
hours,
give
or
take
-
and
I
hated
every
inch
of
it,
especially,
that
two-lane
bottleneck.
I
did
everything
I
could
to
avoid
it.
I
begged
to
get
appointments
at
off-peak
times,
only
to
end
up
___72___
(stick)
in
rush-hour
traffic
going
home.
I
spent
hours
poring
over
maps
and
drove
miles
out
of
the
way
trying
to
get
around
it,
only
to
realize
it
really
didn’t
matter;
there
was
no
___73___
(get)
around
it.
I
had
no
choice
but
to
drive
it.
But
that
didn’t
mean
I
had
to
like
it.
I
___74___
clench
my
teeth,
grip
the
wheel
and
feel
my
stomach
churn.
Once,
when
running
late
for
an
appointment,
I
muttered,
“I
hate
this
stupid
road.”
I
didn’t
think
my
husband
could
hear
me.
Morphine
is
great
for
pain,
but
it
doesn’t
do
much
for
conversation.
“Four
miles,”
he
said.
I
looked
over.
His
eyes
were
closed.
“What
did
you
say?”
“This
part
of
the
road,”
he
said,
using
his
teaching
voice,
___75___
lecturing
his
high
school
physics
students.
“It’s
only
four
miles
long.
That’s
easy.
You
can
do
anything
for
four
miles.”
I
clocked
it.
He
was
right.
Four
miles
exactly.
I
___76___
(swear)
it
was
20.
And
then
a
strange
thing
happened.
Somehow,
that
drive
got
easier.
I
don’t
mean
it
seemed
easier;
I
mean
it
was.
Sometimes,
when
the
road
ahead
seems
longer
and
harder
than
I
want
it
to
be,
I
break
it
up
in
pieces,
in
my
mind
and
my
heart
and
even
my
soul.
I
divide
it
into
four-mile
stretches
and
take
them
one
at
a
time.
Some
roads
seem
impassable.
But
you
can
do
anything
for
four
miles.

考查定语从句。句意:这条路线大部分是多车道的道路,取决于天气和交通状况,要么带你去你要去的地方,要么让你发疯。在非限制性定语从句“depending
on
weather
and
traffic,
can
either
take
you
where
you’re

or
drive
you
out
of
your
mind”中缺少can的主语,且先行词为road,所以应用关系代词which。故填which。

【72题详解】
考查过去分词和固定搭配。句意:我请求在非高峰时段预约,结果却被困在回家的高峰时段。stick意为“困住”,和主语I构成被动关系,所以应用过去分词作状语。故填stuck。
【73题详解】
考查动名词。句意:我花了好几个小时仔细研究地图,开了好几英里的车试图绕过它,却发现这真的不管用;这是无法回避的。在no后,此处应用动名词作主语。故填getting。
【74题详解】
考查情态动词。句意:我会咬紧牙关,紧握方向盘,感到胃在翻腾。根据前文“But
that
didn’t
mean
I
had
to
like
it.”(但这并不意味着我必须喜欢它。)可知,此处用would表示一种倾向。故填would。
【75题详解】
考查连词。句意:“这一段路,”他用教学的声音说,好像在给高中物理课的学生讲课。根据“lecturing
his
high
school
physics
students”可知,此处表示“似乎”,应用as
if引导省略句。故填as
if。
76题详解】
考查虚拟语气。句意:我发誓是20英里。根据“Four
miles
exactly.”可知,此处是指与过去事实相反的虚拟语气。故填would

at表示“对……感到惊讶”。“海豚竟然藏有治愈人们精神疾病的能力”是一个事实,所以用the
fact作宾语,“海豚竟然藏有治愈人们精神疾病的能力”表示为that

chance/
opportunity,表示“能”应用情态动词can,根据提示,表示“想要的”应用过去分词intended,抓住机会是为了实现既定的目标,所以应用to
