Alan
Naiman
was
known
for
being
very
careful
about
how
he
spent
his
money
But
even
those
closest
to
him
had
no
knowledge
of
the
fortune
he
quietly
gathered
and
the
last
act
he
had
planned.
Naiman
died
of
cancer
at
age
63
last
January.
The
man
from
the
American
state
of
Washington
gave
most
of
his
money
to
groups
that
help
the
poor,
sick,
disabled
and
abandoned
children.
He
gave
them
$11
million.
The
large
amount
of
his
fortune
shocked
the
groups
that
received
his
gifts
and
even
his
best
friends.
That
is
because
Naiman
had
been
known
to
repair
his
own
shoes
with
duct
tape.
He
had
sought
deals
to
buy
food
from
grocery
stores
at
closing
time
and
taken
friends
out
to
lunch
at
low
cost
restaurants.
Naiman
died
unmarried
and
childless.
He
loved
children
but
also
was
intensely
private.
He
saved,
invested
and
worked
extra
jobs
to
gather
money.
He
rarely
spent
the
money
on
himself
after
seeing
how
unfair
life
could
be
for
children
who
suffer
most.
Naiman
was
a
former
banker
who
worked
for
the
past
20
years
at
the
state
Department
of
Social
and
Health
Services.
He
earned
$67234
a
year
and
also
took
on
side
jobs.
Sometimes,
he
worked
as
many
as
three
at
a
time.
He
saved
and
invested
enough
to
make
several
millions
of
dollars.
He
also
received
millions
more
from
his
parents
after
they
died.
He
left
$2.5
million
to
the
Pediatric
Interim
Care
Center
in
Washington.
The
center
is
a
private
organization
that
cares
for
babies
born
to
mothers
who
abused
drugs
and
children
with
drug
dependency.
The
center
used
the
money
to
pay
off
its
mortgage
(按揭)
and
buy
a
new
vehicle
to
transport
the
children.
Naiman
gave
$900,
000
to
the
Treehouse,
where
children
without
parents
can
choose
toys
and
necessities
for
free.
Treehouse
is
using
Naiman’s
money
to
expand
its
college
and
career
support
services
Statewide.
4.
Why
were
Naiman’s
best
friends
shocked
at
his
donation?
A.
He
left
nothing
to
his
relatives.
B.
He
was
dishonest
in
his
economic
conditions.
C.
He
received
wealth
from
his
parents
secretly.
D.
He
used
to
be
very
careful
to
spend
money.

money

his

Some
colors
people
see
late
at
night
could
cause
signs
of
clinical（临床的）depression
(沮丧).
That
was
the
finding
of
a
study
that
builds
on
earlier
study
findings.
They
show
that
individuals
(个人)
who
live
or
work
in
low
levels
of
light
overnight
(整夜)
can
develop
clinical
depression.
Doctors
use
the
word
“clinical
depression”
to
describe
severe
form
of
depression.
Signs
may
include
loss
of
interest
or
pleasure
in
most
activities,
low
energy
levels
and
thoughts
of
death
or
suicide.
In
the
new
study,
American
investigators
designed
an
experiment
that
exposed
hamsters（仓鼠）to
different
colors.
The
researchers
chose
hamsters
because
they
are
nocturnal（夜行的）,
which
means
they
sleep
during
the
day
and
are
active
at
night.
The
animals
were
separated
into
four
groups.
One
group
of
hamsters
was
kept
in
the
dark
during
their
night-time
period.
Another
group
was
placed
in
front
of
a
blue
light,
a
third
group
slept
in
front
of
a
white
light,
while
a
fourth
was
put
in
front
of
a
red
light.
After
four
weeks,
the
researchers
noted
how
much
sugary
water
the
hamsters
drank.
They
found
that
the
most
depressed
animals
drank
the
least
amount
of
water.
Randy
Nelson
heads
the
Department
of
Neuroscience
at
Ohio
State
University.
He
says
animals
that
slept
in
blue
and
white
light
appeared
to
be
the
most
depressed.
“What
we
saw
is
that
these
animals
didn’t
show
any
sleep
uneasiness
(不安)
at
all
but
they
did
mess
up
biological
clock
genes
and
they
did
show
depressive
sign
while
if
they
were
in
the
dim（微弱）red
light,
they
did
not.”
Randy
Nelson
notes
that
photosensitive（感光）cells
in
the
eyes
have
little
to
do
with
eyesight.
He
says
these
cells
send
signals
to
the
area
of
the
brain
that
controls
what
has
been
called
the
natural
sleep-wake
cycle.
He
says
there’s
a
lot
of
blue
in
white
light.
This
explains
why
the
blue
light
and
white
light
hamsters
appear
to
be
more
depressed
than
the
hamsters
seeing
red
light
or
darkness.
8.

with
colors
B.
they
are
easy
to
observe
and
study
C.

are
sensitive
to
colors
like
human
beings
D.
they
are
active
at
night
and
sleep
during
the
day
9.
What
sign
shows
that
the
hamsters
are
being
depressed?
A.
They
drink
less
sugary
water.
B.
They
don’t
sleep
well.
C.
Their
eyesight
becomes
worse.
D.
Their
energy
level
becomes
low.
10.
What
can
help
people
who
work
late
at
night
to
avoid
being
depressed?
A.
Not
being
exposed
to
dim
red
light
when
using
computers.
B.
Equipping
their
computer
screens
to
put
it
more
in
the
reddish
light.
C.
Living
or
working
in
low
levels
of
light
overnight.
D.
Going
to
see
doctors
of
clinical
depression
regularly
for
help.

A
study
of
violinists
found
that
merely
good
players
practised
as
much
as
better
players,
leaving
other
factors
such
as
quality
of
education,
learning
skills
and
perhaps
natural
talent
to
account
for
the
difference.
This
finding
challenges
the
10,
000-hour
rule
promoted
in
Malcolm
Gladwell’s
1993
study
of
violinists
and
pianists.
Gladwell
states
that
enough
practice
will
make
an
expert
of
anyone.
“The
idea
has
been
popular
and
entrenched
in
our
culture
for
years.
It’s
not
an
idiom
but
an
overstatement,”
said
Brooke
Macnamara,
the
lead
author.
“When
it
comes
to
human
skill,
a
complex
combination
of
environmental
factors
and
genetic
factors
explains
the
performance
differences
across
people.”
Macnamara
and
her
colleagues
set
out
to
repeat
part
of
the
1993
study
to
see
whether
they
reached
the
same
conclusion.
They
interviewed
three
groups
of
13
violinists
regarded
as
best,
good,
or
less
accomplished
about
their
practice
habits,
before
having
them
complete
daily
diaries
of
their
activities
over
a
week.
While
the
less
skillful
violinists
reached
an
average
of
about
6,000
hours
of
practice
by
the
age
of
20,
there
was
little
to
separate
the
good
from
the
best,
with
each
reaching
an
average
of
about
11,000
hours.
In
all,
the
number
of
hours
spent
practising
accounted
for
about
a
quarter
of
the
skill
difference
across
the
three
groups.
Macnamara
believes
practice
is
less
of
a
driver.
“Once
you
get
to
the
highly
skilled
groups,
practice
stops
accounting
for
the
difference.
Everyone
has
practised
a
lot
and
other
factors
are
at
play
in
determining
who
goes
on
to
a
higher
level,”
she
said.
“The
factors
depend
on
the
skill
being
learned:
in
chess
it
could
be
intelligence
or
working
memory;
in
sport
it
may
be
how
efficiently
a
person
uses
oxygen.
To
complicate
matters
further,
one
factor
can
drive
another.
Children
who
enjoy
playing
the
violin,
for
example,
may
be
happy
to
practise
because
they
do
not
see
it
as
a
trouble.”
The
authors
of
the
1993
study
are
unimpressed.
Macnamara
said
it
was
important
for
people
to
understand
the
limits
of
practice,
though.
“Practice
makes
you
better
than
you
were
yesterday,
most
of
the
time,”
she
said.
“But
it
might
not
make
you
better
than
your
neighhour
or
the
other
kid
in
your
violin
class.”

The

___16___
Teams

Nearly

will
find
themselves

This

the

Watching

a
school
with
3,000
students
beat
a
team
from

is
an

University
was
one
of
the

___18___

more
about

a
name
for
their
university
and

A.

Twenty
years
ago,
I
was
told
a
story
of
Little
Brother
at
a
party
which
has
delighted
and
inspired
me
ever
since.
Little
Brother,
who
was
an
ambitious
painter
and
trying
to
be
an
artist,
went
to
France
to
____20____
himself
with
beauty
and
inspiration.
One
afternoon,
he
____21____
a
conversation
in
a
cafe
with
a
group
of
charming
young
people.
They
took
a
liking
to
Little
Brother
and
invited
him
to
a
party
that
weekend
in
a____22____
in
the
Loire
Valley.
It
would
be
____23____
by
the
rich
and
famous
and
by
several
crowned
heads
of
Europe.
Best
of
all,
it
was
a
masquerade
ball
(假面舞会).
____24____,
Little
Brother
worked
all
week
on
a
costume
and
held
back
on
neither
the
details
nor
the
craziness
of
this
creation.
Then
he
rented
a
car
and
drove
three
hours
to
the
castle.
Little
Brother
entered
the
ballroom,
head
____25____
high.
Upon
which
he
immediately
realized
his
____26____
This
was
____27____
a
costume
party
but
he
had
missed
one
____28____
in
translation:
This
was
a
themed
costume
party.
The
theme
was
“a
medieval
(中世纪的)
court”
_____29_____
Little
Brother
was
dressed
as
a
lobster
(龙虾).
He
stood
at
the
top
of
the
steps
for
one
long,
horrible
moment.
Running
away
in
_____30_____
seemed
like
the
most
dignified
(有尊严的)
response.
But
he
didn’t
run.
_____31_____,
he
found
his
solution.
He’d
come
this
far,
after
all.
He’d
worked
tremendously
hard
to
make
this
costume,
and
he
was
_____32_____
of
it.
He
took
a
deep
breath
and
walked
onto
the
dance
floor.
As
he
moved
into
the
crowd,
a
silence
_____33_____.
The
other
guests
gathered
around
Little
Brother.
Finally
someone
asked
him
what
on
earth
he
was.
Little
Brother
bowed
deeply
and
_____34_____,
“I
am
the
court
lobster.”
Then:
laughter.
Not
ridicule
—
just
_____35_____.
They
loved
him.
They
loved
his
sweetness,
his
weirdness,
his
giant
red
claws,
his
skinny
legs
in
his
bright
tights.
He
was
the
happy
clown
among
them,
and
he
_____36_____
the
party.
Little
Brother
even
ended
up
dancing
with
the
queen
of
Belgium.
I
have
never
created
anything
in
my
life
that
did
not
make
me
feel
like
I
was
the
guy
who
just
walked
into
a
fancy
ball
wearing
a
homemade
lobster
costume.
But
you
must
_____37_____
walk
into
that
room,
and
you
must
hold
your
head
high.
Never
_____38_____
for
it,
never
explain
it
away,
and
never
be
ashamed
of
it.
You
did
your
best
with
what
you
knew,
and
you
worked
with
what
you
had,
in
the
time
you
were
given.
Sometimes
it’s
like
that.
What
you
absolutely
must
not
do
is
walk
out.
Otherwise
you
will
miss
the
party,
and
that
would
be
a
pity
_____39_____
we
did
not
come
all
this
great
distance,
and
make
all
this
great
effort,
only
to
miss
the
party
at
the
last
moment.

As
we
all
know,
culture
is
similar
with
an
iceberg.
There
are
cultural
rules
where
are
obvious
and
easily
to
understand.
Most
of
our
cultural
values,
however,
is

For

when

in
Japan,
chance
are
that
people
may
sit
on

floor
and
use
chopsticks

but
it’s

Alan
Naiman
was
known
for
being
very
careful
about
how
he
spent
his
money.
But
even
those
closest
to
him
had
no
knowledge
of
the
fortune
he
quietly
gathered
and
the
last
act
he
had
planned.
Naiman
died
of
cancer
at
age
63
last
January.
The
man
from
the
American
state
of
Washington
gave
most
of
his
money
to
groups
that
help
the
poor,
sick,
disabled
and
abandoned
children.
He
gave
them
$11
million.
The
large
amount
of
his
fortune
shocked
the
groups
that
received
his
gifts
and
even
his
best
friends.
That
is
because
Naiman
had
been
known
to
repair
his
own
shoes
with
duct
tape.
He
had
sought
deals
to
buy
food
from
grocery
stores
at
closing
time
and
taken
friends
out
to
lunch
at
low
cost
restaurants.
Naiman
died
unmarried
and
childless.
He
loved
children
but
also
was
intensely
private.
He
saved,
invested
and
worked
extra
jobs
to
gather
money.
He
rarely
spent
the
money
on
himself
after
seeing
how
unfair
life
could
be
for
children
who
suffer
most.
Naiman
was
a
former
banker
who
worked
for
the
past
20
years
at
the
state
Department
of
Social
and
Health
Services.
He
earned
$67,234
a
year
and
also
took
on
side
jobs.
Sometimes,
he
worked
as
many
as
three
at
a
time.
He
saved
and
invested
enough
to
make
several
millions
of
dollars.
He
also
received
millions
more
from
his
parents
after
they
died.
He
left
$2.5
million
to
the
Pediatric
Interim
Care
Center
in
Washington.
The
center
is
a
private
organization
that
cares
for
babies
born
to
mothers
who
abused
drugs
and
children
with
drug
dependency.
The
center
used
the
money
to
pay
off
its
mortgage
(按揭)
and
buy
a
new
vehicle
to
transport
the
children.
Naiman
gave
$900,
000
to
the
Treehouse,
where
children
without
parents
can
choose
toys
and
necessities
for
free.
Treehouse
is
using
Naiman’s
money
to
expand
its
college
and
career
support
services
Statewide.

Why
were
Naiman’s
best
friends
shocked
at
his
donation?
A.
He
left
nothing
to
his
relatives.
B.
He
was
dishonest
in
his
economic
conditions.
C.
He
received
wealth
from
his
parents
secretly.
D.
He
used
to
be
very
careful
to
spend
money.

about
_________.

his
money
B.

career
C.
children

Naiman捐赠了1100万美元用于帮助有困难的儿童的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Alan
Naiman
was
known
for
being
very
careful
about
how
he
spent
his
money.”可知，Naiman的好朋友对他的捐赠感到震惊是因为他花钱一向很谨慎，故D项正确。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“gave
most
of
his
money
to
groups
that
help
the
poor,
sick,
disabled
and
abandoned
children.”可知，Naiman把大部分钱捐给了帮助贫困的、生病的、残疾的和被遗弃的儿童的组织，由此可知他非常关心有困难的儿童，故C项正确。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段内容可知，Naiman在美国社会与健康服务部工作了20年而且还做一些其他的工作赚钱，他还继承了父母数百万美元的遗产，因此本段主要讲的是Naiman的财富的来源，故B项正确。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“The
center
used
the
money
to
pay
off
its
mortgage
(按揭)
and
buy
a
new
vehicle
to
transport
the
children.”可知，儿童临时护理中心用Naiman捐赠的这笔钱还清了抵押贷款，并买了新车来接送孩子们，由此可知，Naiman捐赠的这笔钱改善了该中心的运输系统，故A项正确。
C
Some
colors
people
see
late
at
night
could
cause
signs
of
clinical（临床）depression
(沮丧).
That
was
the
finding
of
a
study
that
builds
on
earlier
study
findings.
They
show
that
individuals
(个人)
who
live
or
work
in
low
levels
of
light
overnight
(整夜)
can
develop
clinical
depression.
Doctors
use
the
word
“clinical
depression”
to
describe
severe
form
of
depression.
Signs
may
include
loss
of
interest
or
pleasure
in
most
activities,
low
energy
levels
and
thoughts
of
death
or
suicide.
In
the
new
study,
American
investigators
designed
an
experiment
that
exposed
hamsters（仓鼠）to
different
colors.
The
researchers
chose
hamsters
because
they
are
nocturnal（夜行的）,
which
means
they
sleep
during
the
day
and
are
active
at
night.
The
animals
were
separated
into
four
groups.
One
group
of
hamsters
was
kept
in
the
dark
during
their
night-time
period.
Another
group
was
placed
in
front
of
a
blue
light,
a
third
group
slept
in
front
of
a
white
light,
while
a
fourth
was
put
in
front
of
a
red
light.
After
four
weeks,
the
researchers
noted
how
much
sugary
water
the
hamsters
drank.
They
found
that
the
most
depressed
animals
drank
the
least
amount
of
water.
Randy
Nelson
heads
the
Department
of
Neuroscience
at
Ohio
State
University.
He
says
animals
that
slept
in
blue
and
white
light
appeared
to
be
the
most
depressed.
“What
we
saw
is
that
these
animals
didn’t
show
any
sleep
uneasiness
(不安)
at
all
but
they
did
mess
up
biological
clock
genes
and
they
did
show
depressive
sign
while
if
they
were
in
the
dim（微弱）red
light,
they
did
not.”
Randy
Nelson
notes
that
photosensitive（感光）cells
in
the
eyes
have
little
to
do
with
eyesight.
He
says
these
cells
send
signals
to
the
area
of
the
brain
that
controls
what
has
been
called
the
natural
sleep-wake
cycle.
He
says
there’s
a
lot
of
blue
in
white
light.
This
explains
why
the
blue
light
and
white
light
hamsters
appear
to
be
more
depressed
than
the
hamsters
seeing
red
light
or
darkness.
8.
Researchers
use
hamsters
in
the
experiment
because
__________.
A.
they
are
similar
to
humans
in
dealing
with
colors
B.
they
are
easy
to
observe
and
study
C.
they
are
sensitive
to
colors
like
human
beings
D.
they
are
active
at
night
and
sleep
during
the
day
9.
What
sign
shows
that
the
hamsters
are
being
depressed?
A.
They
drink
less
sugary
water.
B.
They
don’t
sleep
well.
C.
Their
eyesight
becomes
worse.
D.
Their
energy
level
becomes
low.
10.
What
can
help
people
who
work
late
at
night
to
avoid
being
depressed?
A.
Not
being
exposed
to
dim
red
light
when
using
computers.
B
Equipping
their
computer
screens
to
put
it
more
in
the
reddish
light.
C.
Living
or
working
in
low
levels
of
light
overnight.
D.
Going
to
see
doctors
of
clinical
depression
regularly
for
help.
【答案】8.
D
9.
A
10.
B
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍的是一项科学研究。人们在深夜看到的一些颜色能够引起临床沮丧的症状。研究发现，整夜在较暗的环境中生活或工作的人可能会表现出临床沮丧。相关症状包括对活动失去兴趣和乐趣，精神不振和产生死亡或自杀念头等。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The
researchers
chose
hamsters
because
they
are
nocturnal,
which
means
they
sleep
during
the
day
and
are
active
at
night.”（研究人员选择仓鼠是因为它们是夜行动物，这意味着它们白天睡觉，晚上活动。）可知，研究人员选用仓鼠的原因是，它们白天睡觉，晚上变得活跃，故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“They
found
that
the
most
depressed
animals
drank
the
least
amount
of
water.”（他们发现最抑郁的动物喝的水最少。）可知，最沮丧的仓鼠，它们喝的糖水也是最少的，仓鼠喝的糖水量能够说明它们的沮丧程度，故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“What
we
saw
is
that
these
animals
didn’t
show
any
sleep
uneasiness
(不安)
at
all
but
they
did
mess
up

clock
genes
and
they
did
show
depressive
sign
while
if
they
were
in
the
dim（微弱）red
light,
they
did
not.”（我们看到的是,这些动物并没有表现出任何睡眠不安(不安),而是他们打乱生物钟基因和抑郁的迹象表明,如果他们在暗(微弱)红灯,他们没有。”）和最后一段“the
blue
light
and
white
light
hamsters
appear
to
be
more
depressed
than
the
hamsters
seeing
red
light
or
darkness”（蓝光和白光仓鼠似乎比看到红光或黑暗的仓鼠更抑郁）可知，蓝色光和白色光比红色光更能引起沮丧，因此，为了避免感到沮丧，应该让自己处于红色光中，故选B。
D
A
study
of
violinists
found
that
merely
good
players
practised
as
much
as
better
players,
leaving
other
factors
such
as
quality
of
education,
learning
skills
and
perhaps
natural
talent
to
account
for
the
difference.
This
finding
challenges
the
10,
000-hour
rule
promoted
in
Malcolm
Gladwell’s
1993
study
of
violinists
and
pianists.
Gladwell
states
that
enough
practice
will
make
an
expert
of
anyone.
“The
idea
has
been
popular
and
entrenched
in
our
culture
for
years.
It’s
not
an
idiom
but
an
overstatement,”
said
Brooke
Macnamara,
the
lead
author.
“When
it
comes
to
human
skill,
a
complex
combination
of
environmental
factors
and
genetic
factors
explains
the
performance
differences
across
people.”
Macnamara
and
her
colleagues
set
out
to
repeat
part
of
the
1993
study
to
see
whether
they
reached
the
same
conclusion.
They
interviewed
three
groups
of
13
violinists
regarded
as
best,
good,
or
less
accomplished
about
their
practice
habits,
before
having
them
complete
daily
diaries
of
their
activities
over
a
week.
While
the
less
skillful
violinists
reached
an
average
of
about
6,000
hours
of
practice
by
the
age
of
20,
there
was
little
to
separate
the
good
from
the
best,
with
each
reaching
an
average
of
about
11,000
hours.
In
all,
the
number
of
hours
spent
practising
accounted
for
about
a
quarter
of
the
skill
difference
across
the
three
groups.
Macnamara
believes
practice
is
less
of
a
driver.
“Once
you
get
to
the
highly
skilled
groups,
practice
stops
accounting
for
the
difference.
Everyone
has
practised
a
lot
and
other
factors
are
at
play
in
determining
who
goes
on
to
a
higher
level,”
she
said.
“The
factors
depend
on
the
skill
being
learned:
in
chess
it
could
be
intelligence
or
working
memory;
in
sport
it
may
be
how
efficiently
a
person
uses
oxygen.
To
complicate
matters
further,
one
factor
can
drive
another.
Children
who
enjoy
playing
the
violin,
for
example,
may
be
happy
to
practise
because
they
do
not
see
it
as
a
trouble.”
The
authors
of
the
1993
study
are
unimpressed.
Macnamara
said
it
was
important
for
people
to
understand
the
limits
of
practice,
though.
“Practice
makes
you
better
than
you
were
yesterday,
most
of
the
time,”
she
said.
“But
it
might
not
make
you
better
than
your
neighhour
or
the
other
kid
in
your
violin
class.”

have
little
relation
to
their
success.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章说明了优秀的人的成就是多种因素造成的结果，并对练习的重要性进行了更深层次的探讨。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。第二段划线词句的上一句“Gladwell
states
that
enough
practice
will
make
an
expert
of
anyone.(Gladwell指出，足够多的练习将使任何人成为专家。)”中
Gladwell提出了谚语“Practice
makes
perfect”的观点，再根据划线词句“The
idea
has
been
popular
and
entrenched
in
our
culture
for
years.(多年来，这个观点已经很流行，并在我们的文化中entrenched。)”可知，划线单词和前文中的“popular”并列，说明这个传统观点广泛流传并在文化中“基础深厚”，结合选项可知，选项A“根深蒂固的”与之意义最为接近，故选A项。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Macnamara
and
her
colleagues
set
out
to
repeat
part
of
the
1993
study
to
see
whether
they
reached
the
same
conclusion.(
Macnamara和她的同事重复了1993年的部分研究，看看他们是否能得出相同的结论。)”可知，Macnamara做的实验过程和1993年做的实验是相似的。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Macnamara
believes
practice
is
less
of
a
driver.(
Macnamara认为，练习并不是唯一的驱动因素。)”以及她所说的“Once
you
get
to
the
highly
skilled
groups,
practice
stops
accounting
for
the
difference.
Everyone
has
practised
a
lot
and
other
factors
are
at
play
in
determining
who
goes
on
to
a
higher
level.(一旦你进入了高技能人群，练习就不能解释这种差异了。每个人都做了很多练习，其他因素在决定谁能上更高的水平上起作用)”可推知，Macnamara认为更多练习对高技能的人的进一步继续进步没有多大影响。故选D项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段“A

A.
Husbands
against

【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章主要讲的是美国一年一度的大学生篮球联赛。这项赛事的影响力非常大，人们常拿比赛来进行赌博，虽然运动员没有酬劳，但比赛带来的广告收益可达50亿之多。
【15题详解】
根据“It
will
keep
kids
home
from
school...
Employees
will
suddenly
lose
their
ability
to
concentrate.”可知，这种“疾病”的影响很广，孩子不愿上学，大学生无视他们的作业，员工无心工作，故选D。
【16题详解】
根据“The
disease,
known
as
“March
Madness”,
refers
to
the
yearly
65-team
US
men’s
college
basketball
tournament.”可知，这种“疾病”实际上是全美大学生篮球赛，空白处介绍的是全美大学生篮球赛的时间，故选F。
【17题详解】
根据“Friends
compete
against
friends.
Colleagues
against
bosses.”可知，人们互相猜测谁是赢家，朋友之间互相打赌，夫妻之间、同事和老板之间互相打赌，故选A。
【18题详解】
根据“the
little-known
George
Mason
University”可知，George
Mason
University在比赛前一点也不出名，故选G。
【19题详解】
根据“College
basketball
players
are
not
paid,
...About
$
4
billion
will
be
spent
gambling
(赌)
on
the
event...
the
event
will
bring
in
$
500
million
in
advertising
income
this
year,”可知，篮球运动员没有报酬，但这并非意味着比赛与钱无关。花在赌博上的就有40亿，广告收入也达到了50亿。故选C。

drove
three

found

_____34_____,
“I

Little
Brother
even
ended

never
created
anything

my
life
that
did
not
make
me
feel
like
I
was
the
guy
who
just
walked
into
a
fancy
ball
wearing
a
homemade
lobster
costume.
But
you
must
_____37_____

into
that
room,
and
you
must
hold
your
head
high.
Never
_____38_____
for
it,
never
explain
it
away,
and
never
be

did
your

knew,
and

worked

were
given.
Sometimes
it’s
like
that.
What
you
absolutely
must
not
do
is
walk
out.
Otherwise
you
will
miss
the
party,
and
that
would
be
a
pity
_____39_____
we
did
not
come

last

As
we
all
know,
culture
is
similar
with
an
iceberg.
There
are
cultural
rules
where
are
obvious
and
easily
to
understand.
Most
of
our
cultural
values,
however,
is
not
clear
or
hidden.
For
example,
when
you
will
visit
a
restaurant
in
Japan,
chance
are
that
people
may
sit
on
the
floor
and
use
chopsticks
to
eat.
These
eat
habits
are
easy
to
come
across.
You
may
not
know,
therefore,
that
it’s
common
for
a
man
to
sit
cross-legged
on
the
floor,
but
it’s
not
considered
acceptable
for
woman
to
do
so.
You
have
to
study
people’s
body
language
to
understanding
this
less
obvious
cultural
rule.
【答案】1.
with→to
2.
where→that/which
3.
easily→easy
4.
is→are
5.
去掉will
6.
chance→chances
7.
eat→eating
8.
therefore→however
9.
woman前加a
10
understanding→understand
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章作者通过例举日本人吃饭的习惯，说明了为了理解不那么明显的文化规则，你必须研究人们的肢体语言。
【详解】第一处：考查介词。句意：我们都知道，文化就像一座冰山。be
similar
to后既可以加物主代词又可以加人；be
similar
with后只可以加人。故with改成to。
第二处：考查定语从句。句意：有一些很明显，也很容易理解的文化角色。这里含有一个限定性定语从句，关系词在从句中作主语，指物，应使用关系代词that/which引导。故where改成that/which。
第三处：考查形容词。句意：有一些很明显，也很容易理解的文化角色。该空作are之后的表语，用形容词。故easily改成easy。
第四处：考查主谓一致。句意：然而，我们的大多数文化价值并不是很清楚或是隐藏的。主语Most
of
our
cultural
values是复数，be动词用复数。故is改成are。
第五处：考查动词时态。句意：例如，当你在日本参观一家餐馆时，人们可能会坐在地板上用筷子吃饭。描述一个客观的事实，用一般现在时。故去掉will。
第六处：考查名词。句意：例如，当你在日本参观一家餐馆时，人们可能会坐在地板上用筷子吃饭。此处are是复数动词，主语也要用复数形式。故chance改成chances。
第七处：考查形容词。句意：这些饮食习惯很容易偶遇。修饰名词habits，用形容词eating“进餐用的”。故eat改成eating。
第八处：考查副词。句意：然而，你可能不知道，一个男人盘腿坐在地板上是很常见的，但一个女人这样做是不可接受的。文中表示“然而”。故therefore改成however。
第九处：考查冠词。句意：然而，你可能不知道，一个男人盘腿坐在地板上是很常见的，但一个女人这样做是不可接受的。泛指“一个女人”，woman的首字母发音是辅音音素。故在woman前面加a。
第十处：考查非谓语动词。句意：为了理解这个不那么明显的文化规则，你必须研究人们的肢体语言。作目的状语，用不定式。故understanding改成understand。
