TaIL Spin
Two dolphins race around in a big pool in the Ocean Park. The smaller dolphin Grace, shown off a few of her tricks, turning around and waving hello to the crowd. The most amazing thing about her, however, is that she's even swimming at all. She doesn't have a tail.
Grace lost her tail as a baby when she got caught up in a fish trap. When the dolphin arrived at the Ocean Park in December 2005, she was fighting for her life. “Is she going to make it ” Her trainer, Abbey Stone, feared the worst. Grace did make it — but her tail didn't. She ended up losing her flukes and the lower part of her peduncle.
Over the past six years, she has learned to swim without her tail. Dolphins swim by moving their flukes and peduncle up and down. Grace taught herself to move another way—like a fish! She pushed herself forward through the water by moving her peduncles from side to side.
The movement put harmful pressure on Grace's backbone. So a company offered to create a man-made tail for her. The tail had to be strong enough to stay on Grace as she swam but soft enough that it wouldn't hurt her.
The first time Grace wore the artificial tail. She soon shook it off and let it sink in the bottom of the pool. Now, she is still learning to use the tail. Some days she wears it for an hour at a time, others not at all. “The tail isn't
necessary for her to feel comfortable,” says Stone, “but it helps to keep that range of motion(动作) and build muscles(肌肉).”
Now, the dolphin is about to get an even happier ending. This month, Grace will star in Dolphin Tale, a film that focus on her rescue and recovery. Her progress has inspired more than just a new movie. Many people travel from near and far to meet her. Seeing Grace swim with her man-made tail gives people so much courage.
（1）When Grace first arrived at the Ocean Park, her trainer worried about her .
A．physical build B．potential ability
C．chance of survival D．adaptation to the surroundings.
（2）A man-made tail is created for Grace to _.
A．let her recover faster B．make her comfortable
C．adjust her way of swimming D．help her perform better tricks
（3）The story of Grace inspires people to_ .

Does Fame Drive You Crazy
Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today's star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world's attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature! According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities — famous people — worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.” The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain (抱怨) about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do. Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever. If fame is so troublesome, why aren't all celebrities running away from it The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place. Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.
（1）It can be learned from the passage that stars today___________.
A．are often misunderstood by the public
B．can no longer have their privacy protected
C．spend too much on their public appearance
D．care little about how they have come into fame
（2）What is the main idea of Paragraph 3
A．Great heroes of the past were generally admired.
B．The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.
C．Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.
D．Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.
（3）What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today
A．Availability of modern media. B．Inadequate social recognition.
C．Lack of favorable chances. D．Huge population of fans.
（4）What is the author's attitude toward modern celebrity
A．Sincere. B．Sceptical. C．Disapproving. D．Sympathetic.

People who multitask all the time may be the worst at doing two things at once, a new research suggests. The findings, based on performances and self-evaluation by about 275 college students, indicate that many people multitask not out of a desire to increase productivity, but because they are easily distracted and can't focus on one activity. And “those people turn out to be the worst at handling different things,” said David Sanbonmatsu, a psychologist at the University of Utah.
Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues gave the students a set of tests and asked them to report how often they multitasked, how good they thought they were at it, and how sensation-seeking (寻求刺激) or imperative (冲动) they were. They then evaluated the participants' multitasking ability with a tricky mental task that required the students to do simple mathematical calculations while remembering a set of letters.
Not surprisingly, the scientists said, most people thought they were better than average at multitasking, and those who thought they were better at it were more likely to report using a cellphone while driving or viewing multiple kinds of media at once. But those who frequently deal with many things at the same time were found to perform the worst at the actual multitasking test. They also were more likely to admit to sensation-seeking and impulsive behavior, which connects with how easily people get bored and distracted.
“People multitask not because it's going to lead to greater productivity, but because they're distractible, and they get sucked into things that are not as important.” Sanbonmatsu said.
Adam Gazzaley, a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, who was not a member of the research group, said one limitation of the study was that it couldn't find out whether people who start out less focused tend toward multitasking or whether people's recognizing and understanding abilities change as a result of multitasking.
The findings do suggest, however, why the sensation-seeker who multitask the most may enjoy risky distracted driving. “People who are multitasking are generally less sensitive to risky situations.” said Paul Atchley, another researcher not in the group. “This may partly explain why people go in for these situations even though they're dangerous.”
（1）The research led by Sanbonmatsu indicates that people who multitask __________.
A．seek high productivity constantly
B．prefer handling different things when getting bored
C．are more focused when doing many things at a time
D．have the poorest results in doing various things at the same time
（2）When Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues conducted their research, they __________.
A．assessed the multitasking ability of the students
B．evaluated the academic achievements of the students
C．analyzed the effects of the participants' tricky mental tasks
D．measured the changes of the students' understanding ability
（3）According to Sanbonmatsu, people multitask because of their __________.
A．limited power in calculation
B．interests in doing things differently
C．inability to concentrate on one task
D．impulsive desire to try new things
（4）From the last paragraph, we can learn that multitaskers usually __________.
A．drive very skillfully
B．go in for different tasks
C．fail to react quickly to potential dangers
D．refuse to explain the reasons for their behavior
四、七选五
21．（2013·北京）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多余选项。
UrbanizationUntil relatively recently, the vast majority of human being lived and died without ever seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago.　 　In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (乡村的) villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history—a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.Britain was only the beginning.　 　．The process of urbanization—the migration (迁徙) of people from the countryside to the city—was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.In 1900, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms.　 　Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies, it took about ninety five people on farms to feed five people in cities.　 　Until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite (精英) and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus（过剩）food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.Over the past two centuries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country.　 　Today, instead of needing ninety five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non farmers.
A. That kept cities very small. B. The rest live in small towns. C. The effects of urban living on people should be considered D. Soon many other industrial nations became urban societies. E. But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities. F. Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive. G. Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.

【知识点】祈使句and(or)陈述句
【解析】【分析】句意：在关闭所有程序之前，不要关闭电脑，否则你会遇到问题的。根据you could have problems可知，此处是虚拟语气的用法，而选项中只有or和but是和虚拟语气连用的，用法为：有时候，虚拟不是通过if引导的条件句来表示，而是暗含在上下文中。用otherwise、or, even though等表示与上文的情况相反，从而引出虚拟语气。如：I lost your address.otherwise,I would have visited you long before。有时候，虚拟条件通过but暗示出来。如：He would have given you more help,but he was too busy。or 和but的区别就是，or前面是事实，后面用虚拟，而but是前面用虚拟，后面是事实。本题中，后面是虚拟的内容，因此选择A，

【点评】考查非谓语动词，本题涉及过去分词作宾语补足语。
10．【答案】A
【知识点】连词
【解析】【分析】句意：我假期里带着我的驾驶证，以免我想租车。A.in case“以免，万一”；B.even if“即使”；C.ever since“自从”；D.if only“以便”。根据句意，故选A。

（2）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“The EP will not reduce oxygen in the room及...because they are burning up oxygen”与其它燃气相比the EP燃烧不会消耗室内的氧气，因此选A。
（3）考查词义猜测。根据第四段中的“...wall to wall and floor to ceiling. it comfortably covers an area up to 350 square feet.”可知其燃烧是从墙壁到天花板每个角落都有，因此可推断出其燃烧的很均匀。因此选D“均匀地，平衡地”。

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，论述了成名给名人们的生活带来的影响，以及处理这些问题的方法，并依此引发读者思考。

（4）考查态度意图。通读全文可知，作者介绍了很多名人受成名所累，失去了生活的隐私，失去了自我，变得孤独、变得被世界隔离，因此可以推断出作者对他们抱有同情的态度。即选择D项，Sincere真诚的 Sceptical怀疑的disapproving反对的 Sympathetic同情的。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解、推理判断和态度意图三个题型的考查，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，通过上下文的逻辑关系，进一步分析、推理、概括和归纳，选出正确答案。
20．【答案】（1）D

（4）C
【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；社会现象类；说明文
【解析】【分析】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了Sanbonmatsu与他的同事们的一项研究结果：同时做很多事情的人往往会有最糟糕的结果，这是因为这些人做事情不专心，他们不能对潜在的危险作出迅速的反应。
（1）考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“People who multitask all the time may be the worst at doing two things at once...”可知，这样的人在同时做很多事情时往往会有最差的结果，故正确答案为D项。
（2）考查细节理解。根据第二段提到他们让参与实验的学生做这做那，以及“evaluated the participants' multitasking ability with a tricky mental task...”，可知，Sanbonmatsu和他的同事们在实验中评估了学生们的多任务处理能力。
（3）考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“People multitask not because it's going to lead to greater productivity，but because they're distractible，and they get sucked into things that are not as important”可知答案。distractible意为“不专心的，分心的”，因此正确答案为C项。
（4）考查推理判断。最后一段提到的研究结果表明：这些寻求刺激的人(sensation seekers)往往会“multitask the most”，但是却有“enjoy risky distracted driving”的结果，这是因为这些人往往“less sensitive to risky situations”，即：对潜在的危险不能迅速作出反应，故C项为正确答案。

21．【答案】E；D；B；A；F
【知识点】七选五
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，讲述了过去城市规模小，农民人口多，到现代化之后，农民人口变少，但农业产量反而增加，更多的人住在城市，体现了社会的变迁。
（1）考查对上下文的理解和推测能力。根据上文“The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago”可知，此处讲的是以前城市的情况，即第一座城市仅仅是5500年才出现的，甚至200年前，也只有很少一部分人生活在城市中。其他几个选项没有关于以前城市的描述。故选择E。（2）考查对上下文的理解和推测能力。根据上文“Britain was only the beginning”可知，英国只是个开始，因此后面出现的是soon，句意：英国只是个开始，很快，其他工业国家也变成了城市化社会。故选D。
（3）考查对上下文的理解和推测能力。根据上文“Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms”可知，目前，超过82%的美国人住在城市，只有2%的人住在农场，在讲完了82%和2%之后，还有剩下的人呢，住在哪里呢？因此可以推断出，下一句讲述的是the rest即，其余的人住在什么地方。因此，选择B，其余的人住在城镇里。
（4）考查对上下文的理解和推测能力。根据上文“It took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities”可知，要有95个人在农场里工作，才能养活5个城市里的人，因此城市里居住的人肯定要少，规模肯定很小，因此选择A项，这种原因导致了城市规模很小。故选A。
（5）考查对上下文的理解和推测能力。根据下文“Today, instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers”可知，现在一个美国人在农场里工作，可以养活100多个非农美国人，因此现代化让农民更加多产，让更多的人可以居住在城市里。故选F。
【点评】本题要求在理解细节的基础上，进一步考查对上下文的理解和推测能力。

【知识点】看图写话；图画式记叙文
【解析】【分析】这是一篇看图写作，一共四幅图。做题时要认真读图，下面四幅图描述了爸爸出差，儿子照顾妈妈的故事。故事看似很简单，但是要想把文章写好，写的连贯，自然，要求考生要在给出的图片信息中扑捉到有用的信息，有时要适当的进行扩充才行，需要考生根据自己的生活经验，做出合理的补充，使文章的内容充实而又自然，同时要注重文章的结构，前后时态、动作要做到一致，连贯。总之，把每一幅图吃透，加上合理联想，还是可以写出优秀的作文的。
【点评】本文很好地完成了任务，把四幅图画叙述得非常清楚。而且每一幅图画都有适当的发挥，让四幅图画之间的转折更加自然合理。文章中时态人称使用准确无误，使用了较多的高级结构，如时间状语从句和宾语从句的结合使用“When my father came back home, my mother told him what had happened. ”宾语从句“ He praised me for what I had done.”等。这些写作技巧的使用显示出考生很好的驾驭语言的能力。
23．【答案】One possible version:
I think the picture is telling us that there is usually a difference between one's dream and reality. People need to learn to face it. Everyone has his dream. However, it is not so easy for people to realize their dreams every time. Just like the man in the picture, instead of the big fish he wishes for, he actually catches a small one.
In my opinion, people need to learn to accept the reality and keep on trying. With another try, they may gain what they dream of.
【知识点】看图写话；开放性作文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇开放性作文，既考查看图又给出提示信息，首先要看懂图的中心思想：梦想和现实是有差距的，人要学会面对。之后，筛选出写作要点，用连接词串联成文，准确运用时态和人称。
【点评】本篇范文结构合理，涵盖了所有要点。且在各部分之间添加了适当内容，让要点的转折更流畅。例如：, it is not so easy for people to realize their dreams every time.使用了it作形式主语；With another try, they may gain what they dream of.使用了宾语从句。

TaIL Spin
Two dolphins race around in a big pool in the Ocean Park. The smaller dolphin Grace, shown off a few of her tricks, turning around and waving hello to the crowd. The most amazing thing about her, however, is that she's even swimming at all. She doesn't have a tail.
Grace lost her tail as a baby when she got caught up in a fish trap. When the dolphin arrived at the Ocean Park in December 2005, she was fighting for her life. “Is she going to make it ” Her trainer, Abbey Stone, feared the worst. Grace did make it — but her tail didn't. She ended up losing her flukes and the lower part of her peduncle.
Over the past six years, she has learned to swim without her tail. Dolphins swim by moving their flukes and peduncle up and down. Grace taught herself to move another way—like a fish! She pushed herself forward through the water by moving her peduncles from side to side.
The movement put harmful pressure on Grace's backbone. So a company offered to create a man-made tail for her. The tail had to be strong enough to stay on Grace as she swam but soft enough that it wouldn't hurt her.
The first time Grace wore the artificial tail. She soon shook it off and let it sink in the bottom of the pool. Now, she is still learning to use the tail. Some days she wears it for an hour at a time, others not at all. “The tail isn't
necessary for her to feel comfortable,” says Stone, “but it helps to keep that range of motion(动作) and build muscles(肌肉).”
Now, the dolphin is about to get an even happier ending. This month, Grace will star in Dolphin Tale, a film that focus on her rescue and recovery. Her progress has inspired more than just a new movie. Many people travel from near and far to meet her. Seeing Grace swim with her man-made tail gives people so much courage.
（1）When Grace first arrived at the Ocean Park, her trainer worried about her .
A．physical build B．potential ability
C．chance of survival D．adaptation to the surroundings.
（2）A man-made tail is created for Grace to _.
A．let her recover faster B．make her comfortable
C．adjust her way of swimming D．help her perform better tricks
（3）The story of Grace inspires people to_ .
A．stick to their dreams B．treat animals friendly
C．treasure what they have D．face difficulties bravely
【答案】（1）C
（2）C
（3）D
【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；人物故事类；记叙文
【解析】【分析】本文为一篇记叙文，属励志类文章。讲述了海洋公园的小海豚Grace尽管没有尾巴，却能克服困难，用另外一种方式游泳，并且还要拍电影《海豚的故事》以激励人们要勇敢地面对困难。
（1）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“...she was fighting for her life. “Is she going to make it ” Her trainer, Abbey Stone, feared the worst可知当Grace海豚刚到海洋公园的时候它正在为生命奋斗着，训练员担心它能否能撑过去，因此选C，担心它生存的几率。
（2）考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的“‘The tail isn't necessary for her to feel comfortable,' says Stone, ‘but it helps to keep that range of motion(动作) and build muscles(肌肉).'”可知这个人造尾巴未必会让Grace感到舒服，但是会帮助他保持动作的幅度和锻炼肌肉，因此可推断此题ABD错误，选C即“调节它游泳的方式”。
（3）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“Seeing Grace swim with her man-made tail gives people so much courage.”即Grace的故事给人们更多的勇气，可推断出这个故事激励着人们要勇敢的面对困难。因此选D。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，通过上下文的逻辑关系，进一步分析和推理，选出正确答案。

Does Fame Drive You Crazy
Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today's star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world's attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature! According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities — famous people — worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.” The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain (抱怨) about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do. Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever. If fame is so troublesome, why aren't all celebrities running away from it The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place. Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.
（1）It can be learned from the passage that stars today___________.
A．are often misunderstood by the public
B．can no longer have their privacy protected
C．spend too much on their public appearance
D．care little about how they have come into fame
（2）What is the main idea of Paragraph 3
A．Great heroes of the past were generally admired.
B．The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.
C．Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.
D．Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.
（3）What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today
A．Availability of modern media. B．Inadequate social recognition.
C．Lack of favorable chances. D．Huge population of fans.
（4）What is the author's attitude toward modern celebrity
A．Sincere. B．Sceptical. C．Disapproving. D．Sympathetic.
【答案】（1）B
（2）B
（3）A
（4）D
【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；观点态度题；社会现象类；议论文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，论述了成名给名人们的生活带来的影响，以及处理这些问题的方法，并依此引发读者思考。
（1）考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“They are at the center of much of the world's attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives”他们是全世界关注的焦点，狗仔队在他们家外面扎营，小报上到处都是关于他们私人生活的惊悚故事。可知，他们的生活完全被媒体多报道，生活中的隐私已经处于了没有任何保护的状态了。故选择B。
（2）考查段落大意。根据第三段中的““The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages”可知，该段落主要讲的是追踪名人已经有了很久的历史了。选B。
（3）考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their 'story'
alive forever”可知，他们做任何事情都会被现代照相机、英特网等当代媒体捕捉到，因此，这些现代媒体让今天的人成为名人不容易。选A 。
（4）考查态度意图。通读全文可知，作者介绍了很多名人受成名所累，失去了生活的隐私，失去了自我，变得孤独、变得被世界隔离，因此可以推断出作者对他们抱有同情的态度。即选择D项，Sincere真诚的 Sceptical怀疑的disapproving反对的 Sympathetic同情的。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解、推理判断和态度意图三个题型的考查，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，通过上下文的逻辑关系，进一步分析、推理、概括和归纳，选出正确答案。
20．（2013·北京）阅读理解
People who multitask all the time may be the worst at doing two things at once, a new research suggests. The findings, based on performances and self-evaluation by about 275 college students, indicate that many people multitask not out of a desire to increase productivity, but because they are easily distracted and can't focus on one activity. And “those people turn out to be the worst at handling different things,” said David Sanbonmatsu, a psychologist at the University of Utah.
Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues gave the students a set of tests and asked them to report how often they multitasked, how good they thought they were at it, and how sensation-seeking (寻求刺激) or imperative (冲动) they were. They then evaluated the participants' multitasking ability with a tricky mental task that required the students to do simple mathematical calculations while remembering a set of letters.
Not surprisingly, the scientists said, most people thought they were better than average at multitasking, and those who thought they were better at it were more likely to report using a cellphone while driving or viewing multiple kinds of media at once. But those who frequently deal with many things at the same time were found to perform the worst at the actual multitasking test. They also were more likely to admit to sensation-seeking and impulsive behavior, which connects with how easily people get bored and distracted.
“People multitask not because it's going to lead to greater productivity, but because they're distractible, and they get sucked into things that are not as important.” Sanbonmatsu said.
Adam Gazzaley, a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, who was not a member of the research group, said one limitation of the study was that it couldn't find out whether people who start out less focused tend toward multitasking or whether people's recognizing and understanding abilities change as a result of multitasking.
The findings do suggest, however, why the sensation-seeker who multitask the most may enjoy risky distracted driving. “People who are multitasking are generally less sensitive to risky situations.” said Paul Atchley, another researcher not in the group. “This may partly explain why people go in for these situations even though they're dangerous.”
（1）The research led by Sanbonmatsu indicates that people who multitask __________.
A．seek high productivity constantly
B．prefer handling different things when getting bored
C．are more focused when doing many things at a time
D．have the poorest results in doing various things at the same time
（2）When Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues conducted their research, they __________.
A．assessed the multitasking ability of the students
B．evaluated the academic achievements of the students
C．analyzed the effects of the participants' tricky mental tasks
D．measured the changes of the students' understanding ability
（3）According to Sanbonmatsu, people multitask because of their __________.
A．limited power in calculation
B．interests in doing things differently
C．inability to concentrate on one task
D．impulsive desire to try new things
（4）From the last paragraph, we can learn that multitaskers usually __________.
A．drive very skillfully
B．go in for different tasks
C．fail to react quickly to potential dangers
D．refuse to explain the reasons for their behavior
【答案】（1）D
（2）A
（3）C
（4）C
【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；社会现象类；说明文
【解析】【分析】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了Sanbonmatsu与他的同事们的一项研究结果：同时做很多事情的人往往会有最糟糕的结果，这是因为这些人做事情不专心，他们不能对潜在的危险作出迅速的反应。
（1）考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“People who multitask all the time may be the worst at doing two things at once...”可知，这样的人在同时做很多事情时往往会有最差的结果，故正确答案为D项。
（2）考查细节理解。根据第二段提到他们让参与实验的学生做这做那，以及“evaluated the participants' multitasking ability with a tricky mental task...”，可知，Sanbonmatsu和他的同事们在实验中评估了学生们的多任务处理能力。
（3）考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“People multitask not because it's going to lead to greater productivity，but because they're distractible，and they get sucked into things that are not as important”可知答案。distractible意为“不专心的，分心的”，因此正确答案为C项。
（4）考查推理判断。最后一段提到的研究结果表明：这些寻求刺激的人(sensation seekers)往往会“multitask the most”，但是却有“enjoy risky distracted driving”的结果，这是因为这些人往往“less sensitive to risky situations”，即：对潜在的危险不能迅速作出反应，故C项为正确答案。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，通过上下文的逻辑关系，进一步分析和推理，选出正确答案。
四、七选五
21．（2013·北京）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多余选项。
UrbanizationUntil relatively recently, the vast majority of human being lived and died without ever seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago.　 　In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (乡村的) villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history—a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.Britain was only the beginning.　 　．The process of urbanization—the migration (迁徙) of people from the countryside to the city—was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.In 1900, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms.　 　Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies, it took about ninety five people on farms to feed five people in cities.　 　Until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite (精英) and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus（过剩）food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.Over the past two centuries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country.　 　Today, instead of needing ninety five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non farmers.
A. That kept cities very small. B. The rest live in small towns. C. The effects of urban living on people should be considered D. Soon many other industrial nations became urban societies. E. But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities. F. Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive. G. Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.
【答案】E；D；B；A；F
【知识点】七选五
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，讲述了过去城市规模小，农民人口多，到现代化之后，农民人口变少，但农业产量反而增加，更多的人住在城市，体现了社会的变迁。
（1）考查对上下文的理解和推测能力。根据上文“The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago”可知，此处讲的是以前城市的情况，即第一座城市仅仅是5500年才出现的，甚至200年前，也只有很少一部分人生活在城市中。其他几个选项没有关于以前城市的描述。故选择E。（2）考查对上下文的理解和推测能力。根据上文“Britain was only the beginning”可知，英国只是个开始，因此后面出现的是soon，句意：英国只是个开始，很快，其他工业国家也变成了城市化社会。故选D。
（3）考查对上下文的理解和推测能力。根据上文“Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms”可知，目前，超过82%的美国人住在城市，只有2%的人住在农场，在讲完了82%和2%之后，还有剩下的人呢，住在哪里呢？因此可以推断出，下一句讲述的是the rest即，其余的人住在什么地方。因此，选择B，其余的人住在城镇里。
（4）考查对上下文的理解和推测能力。根据上文“It took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities”可知，要有95个人在农场里工作，才能养活5个城市里的人，因此城市里居住的人肯定要少，规模肯定很小，因此选择A项，这种原因导致了城市规模很小。故选A。
（5）考查对上下文的理解和推测能力。根据下文“Today, instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers”可知，现在一个美国人在农场里工作，可以养活100多个非农美国人，因此现代化让农民更加多产，让更多的人可以居住在城市里。故选F。
【点评】本题要求在理解细节的基础上，进一步考查对上下文的理解和推测能力。
五、书面表达
