1. The form cannot be signed by anyone ________yourself.
A. rather than B. other than C. more than D. less than
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查介词短语词义辨析。句意：这份表格除了你自己，任何人都不能签字。A. rather than 而不是；B. other than 除了；C. more than多于；D. less than少于。根据句意分析可知，“表格不能由别人代签，除了你自己”，故选B。
2. Your presentation is very attractive and I do think your idea is well ________.
A. worth considering B. worthy considering
C. worthwhile of being considered D. worth being considered
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。句意：你的报告很吸引人，我确实认为你的想法很值得考虑。be worth后接动名词的主动形式表示被动含义，构成be worth doing“值得做某事”结构。be worthy of后接动名词的被动式或不定式的被动式，构成be worthy of being done或be worthy of to be done结构。be worthwhile of being done无此结构。故选A项。
3. I realized that he’s an easygoing person ________I met him.
A. for the first time B. by the first time
C. the first time D. first time
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查时间状语从句。句意：我第一次见到他就意识到他是个随和的人。A. for the first time首次，第一次，在句中一般单独作状语；B. by the first time直到第一次之前；C. the first time第一次……的时候，引导时间状语从句；D. first time首次，在句子中一般不能单用，通常和定冠词 the或物主代词my等词汇一起使用。根据句意及空后I met him可知，此处应用the first time引导时间状语从句， by the first time也可引导时间状语从句，但是不符合语境。故选C。
4. Considering his state, Bob’s doctor suggests ________for a few weeks.
A. him to rest B. he resting
C. he rest D. he must rest
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查虚拟语气。句意：考虑到鲍勃的情况，医生建议他休息几个星期。表示请求、要求、命令或建议等意义的动词所接的宾语从句一般用虚拟语气，其虚拟语气的结构为：(should) +原形动词，should可省略。句中“______for a few weeks.”是suggest后省略连词that的宾语从句，用虚拟语气：(should) +原形动词，C项中省略了should。故选C项。
5. According to the record, his sister left home in 2020, and ________since.
A. had not been heard of B. has not been heard of
C. had not heard of D. has not heard of
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查谓语时态和语态。句意：他的妹妹在1998年离家，至今杳无音讯。 and前用过去式表示她1998年离家这一事实，结合状语since和语境可知，此处用现在完成时表示过去发生的动作对现在造成影响或后果，而且his sister和hear of是被动关系，故用现在完成时的被动语态。故选B。
6. ________that it was already the fourth time that he _________abroad.
A. So lucky was he; traveled B. So lucky he was; traveled
C. So lucky was he; had traveled D. So lucky he was; had traveled
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查倒装句式和固定句式。句意：他很幸运，这已经是他第四次出国旅行了。在so... that…结构中，若将so+adj. / adv. 置于句首，则其后的主句要用部分倒装，因此第一空填So lucky was he；It is（was）the first time that…这一固定句型中，若主句是谓语是is，则从句谓语用现在完成时，若主句谓语是was，则从句谓语用过去完成时；因此第二空填had traveled。故选C项。
7. The day they had been looking forward to ________ at last and they were extremely delighted.
A. came B. come C. coming D. to come
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态。句意：他们一直期待的那一天终于到来了，他们非常高兴。and前后连接两个句子，they had been looking forward to是省略关系代词的定语从句，修饰先行词The day，the day是and前面的句子的主语，设空处是谓语动词，由they were extremely delighted.可知，句子描述的是过去的事情，应用一般过去时。故选A。
8. When I got back home I saw a message pinned to the door ________ “Sorry to miss you; will call later.”
A. reading B. reads C. to read D. read
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：当我回到家的时候，我看到门上钉着一张纸条，上面写着“对不起，错过了你，回头再打电话。”分析句子结构可知read在句中应用非谓语动词形式，与逻辑主语message构成主动关系，故用现在分词作定语。故选A。
9. ________the invitations caused the party to be put off.
A. Tom delayed sending B. Tom delayed to send
C. Tom’s delaying to send D. Tom’s delaying sending
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：汤姆推迟发出请柬，导致晚会推迟了。分析句子可知，空处应填动名词或动名词的复合结构作主语，doing前加名词所有格表示动作的发出者，作其逻辑主语；表示推迟做某事，用delay doing sth.（即delay后跟动名词作宾语）。故填Tom’s delaying sending。故选D项。
10. My friend was very unhappy for ________to the concert.
A. not having been invited B. having not been invited
C. not to be invited D. not having invited
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查动名词。句意：我的朋友因为没有被邀请参加音乐会而感到不高兴。设空处接在介词for后，应用动名词作宾语，该动作发生谓语之前，应用完成式，并且和它的逻辑主语之间是被动关系，应用完成式的被动结构，并且对动名词进行否定，在动名词前加not，故选A。
11. Finding her car stolen, ________.
A. it was looked for everywhere
B. a policeman was asked to help
C. the area was searched thoroughly
D. she hurried to a policeman for help
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：发现她的车被偷了，她急忙去找警察求助。分析句子可知，空前是现在分词，因此find和句子的逻辑主语是主动关系，选项中只有D项中she和find之间构成主谓关系（主动关系），且符合语境；B项a policeman虽然可以和find构成主动关系，但是不符合逻辑，与题意不符。故选D项。
12. Look out！Don’t get too close to the house roof is under repair.
A. whose B. which
C. of which D. that
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：当心!不要太靠近那座屋顶正在修理的房子。先行词the house在定语从句中作名词roof的定语。句中the roof of which =whose roof它的屋顶。故选A。
13. No sooner ________ his talk ________he was surrounded by his fans.
A. had he finished; when B. had he finished; than
C. did he finish; when D. did he finish; than
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型。句意：他刚讲完话就被粉丝包围了。根据句意可知，此处意为“一……就……”，表达为no sooner...than...，no sooner后的主句用过去完成时had done，同时要进行部分倒装，故选B。
14. Sarah hopes to become a friend of ______ shares her interests.
A. anyone B. whomever C. whoever D. no matter who
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句：句意：Sarah希望成为能分享她兴趣的人的朋友。( whoever) shares her interests是宾语从句，作介词of的宾语。whoever在从句中作的是主语。no matter加疑问词只能引导状语从句，不能引导名词性从句，排除D项，而此处关联词在引导的从句中作主语，所以不选B，故选C项。
15. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of ________would be considered a very poor family.
A. which B. that C. who D. what
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句。句意：他们在一个被认为是极度贫困家庭的农场里住了几天几夜。分析句子可知，“______would be considered a very poor family”是介词of后宾语从句，从句引导词在从句中作主语，指物，应用连接代词what引导词该宾语从句。故选D项。

One day when I was 12，my mother gave me an order：I was to walk to the public library，and borrow at least one book for the summerThis was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem—inability to read.
In the library，I found my way into the“Children's Room”．I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random.The cover of a book caught my eye.It presented a picture of a beagle.I had recently had a beagle.the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child.He was my secret sharer，but one morning，he was gone，given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him.I never forgot my beagle.
There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identical(相同的) to my dog.I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover.My eyes ran across the title，Amos，theBeaglewithaPlan.Unknowingly，I had read the title.Without opening the book，I borrowed it from the library for the summer.
Under the shade of a bush，I started to read about Amos.I read very，very slowly with difficulty.Though pages were turned slowly，I got the main idea of the story about a dog who，like mine，had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home.That dog was my dog，and I was the little boy in the book.At the end of the story，my mind continued the final scene of reunion，on and on，until my own lost dog and I
were，in my mind，running together.
My mother's call returned me to the real world.I suddenly realized something：I had read a book，and I had loved reading that book.Everyoneknew I could not read.But I had read it.Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.
I never told my mother about my“miraculous(奇迹般的)”experience that summer，but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year.And years later，she was proud that her son had read thousands of books，was awarded a PhD in literature，and authored his own books，articles，poetry and fiction.The power of the words has held.

C
It’s common knowledge that the woman in Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous painting seems to look back at observers, following them with her eyes no matter where they stand in the room. But this common knowledge turns out wrong.
A new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out at an angle that’s 15. 4 degrees off to the observer’s right-well outside of the range that people normally believe when they think someone is looking
right at them. In other words, said the study author, Horstmann, “She’s not looking at you. “ This is somewhat ironic, because the entire phenomenon of a person’s gaze (凝视) in a photograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the “Mona Lisa effect” . That effect is absolutely real, Horstmann said. If a person is illustrated or photographed looking straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at. As long as the angle of the person’s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.
This is important for human interaction with on-screen characters. If you want someone off to the right side of a room to feel that a person on-screen is looking at him or her, you don’t cut the gaze of the character to that side-surprisingly, doing so would make an observer feel like the character isn’t looking at anyone in the room at all. Instead, you keep the gaze straight ahead.
Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligence avatars(虚拟头像) when Horstmann took a long look at the “Mona Lisa” and realized she wasn’t looking at him.
To make sure it wasn’t just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view images of the “Mona Lisa” on a computer screen. They set a ruler between the viewer and the screen and asked the participants to note which number on the ruler intersected(和……相交) Mona Lisa’s gaze. To calculate the angle of Mona Lisa’s gaze as she looked at the viewer, they moved the ruler farther from or closer to the screen during the study. Consistently, the researchers found, participants judged that the woman in the “Mona Lisa” portrait was not looking straight at them, but slightly off to their right.
So why do people repeat the belief that her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn’t sure. It’s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term “Mona Lisa effect” just thought it was a cool name.
23. It is generally believed that the woman in the painting “Mona Lisa”___________.
A. attracts the viewers to look back
B. seems mysterious because of her eyes
C. fixes her eyes on the back of the viewers
D. looks at the viewers wherever they stand
24. What gaze range in a painting will cause the Mona Lisa effect?
A. B. C. D.
25. The experiment involving 24 people was conducted to______.
A. confirm Horstmann’s belief
B. create artificial-intelligence avatars
C. calculate the angle of Mona Lisa’s gaze
D. explain how the Mona Lisa effect can be applied
26. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Horstmann thinks it’s cool to coin the term “Mona Lisa effect”.
B. The Mona Lisa effect contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence.
C. Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention.
D. The position of the ruler in the experiment will influence the viewers’ judgement.
【答案】23. D 24. B 25. A 26. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了人们通常认为《蒙娜丽莎》画像中的女性无论站在房间的哪个角落，似乎蒙娜丽莎总像是在注视着画外人，但事实证明，这种常识是错误的。为什么人们总是认为她的眼睛会跟着观众走呢？Horstmann并不确定。有可能是人们有被注视的欲望，所以他们认为蒙娜丽莎在注视他们，这就是“蒙娜丽莎效应”。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中It’s common knowledge that the woman in Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous painting seems to look back at observers, following them with her eyes no matter where they stand in the room.众所周知，列奥纳多•达•芬奇(Leonardo da Vinci)最著名的画作中的女人，无论站在房间的哪个角落，似乎娜丽莎总像是在注视着画外人，用她的眼睛跟随他们。可知，人们普遍认为，无论站在哪里，画作《蒙娜丽莎》中的女人都会看着画外人。故选D项。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中As long as the angle of the person’s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.
只要人的视线与两边的夹角不超过5度，就会出现蒙娜丽莎效应。故选B项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中To make sure it wasn’t just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view images of the “Mona Lisa” on a computer screen.为了确保不仅仅是他，研究人员让24个人在电脑屏幕上观看“蒙娜丽莎”的图像。可知，为了证实霍斯曼的看法，对24个人进行了调查。故选 A项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题题。根据最后一段中It’s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them.他说，人们有被注视的欲望是可能的，所以他们认为女人在注视他们。可知，蒙娜丽莎被注视的感觉可能是由于对注意力的渴望引起的。故选C项。
D
One rainy evening, a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote road in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path. That’s when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio was parked across a railway line. Seconds later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.
Ceely’s near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS. She had never driven the route before. It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS, but it made no mention of the crossing. “I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train,” she said.
Who is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely’s story in his book When Machines Fail Us, points the finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And it’s not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards.
The problem with his argument in the book is that it’s not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signaling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the GPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn’t say.
It’s a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it’s also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors.
The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for a wiser use of technology.
If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long.
27. The phrase “near miss” (Paragraph 2) can best be replaced by ________.
A. close hit B. heavy loss C. big mistake D. narrow escape
28. Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with?
A. Modern technology is what we can’t live without.
B. GPS error is not the only cause for Ceely’s accident.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。书籍《当机器让我们失望时》的作者里克·史蒂文森在书中讲述了保拉·希利被导航误导差点被火车撞到的故事，以此说明数字技术的局限性，但是本文作者认为里克·史蒂文森的观点是片面的，并没有考虑到其它可能的因素。作者认为人类和智能设备之间的游戏既有趣又复杂，可能有一种更明智地使用技术的方法。
【27题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段最后三句“That’s when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio was parked across a railway line. Seconds later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks. (就在这时，她听到了火车司机的汽笛。她的雷诺·克里奥停在铁路对面。几秒钟后，她看着火车把她的车沿着铁轨拖了近一公里。)”可知，这是一次死里逃生，所以near miss意为“死里逃生”。故选D。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第三句“We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. (他说，我们相信数字设备，但我们的数字助手往往不能胜任工作。)”和最后一句“And it’s not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards. (不仅仅是GPS设备：史蒂文森带我们参观了涉及从手机到无线键盘的各种数字灾难。)”可知，里克·史蒂文森很可能同意“数字技术往往达不到我们的期望”的观点。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“The problem with his argument in the book is that it’s not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. (他在书中的论点的问题在于，他为什么只关注数字技术，这一点并不清楚，而可能有其他一些原因。)”可知，作者认为史蒂文森的论点是片面的。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒第二段“The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for a wiser use of technology. (人类和智能设备之间游戏既有趣又复杂。它受到经济学、心理学和我们生活的文化的影响。在这些力量的组合中，可能有一种更明智地使用技术的方法。)”可知，本文作者真正关心的是人与技术的关系。故选C。

Financial Education-Awareness Dilemma
When it comes to financial education, the majority of today's youth will regard it as a necessity for certain specific people who want to make their career in the financial world. ___31___ Actually, elementary financial education is a must for all, as money transaction is an essential part of our day-to-day life.
Suppose you have $100 in a saving account that pays simple interest at the rate of 2%per year. lf you leave the money in the account, how much will you have accumulated after 5 years: more than $102, exactly $102, or less than $102? The test might look simple, but only half of the people surveyed gave the correct answer.
___32___The explanation goes as follows: People with low levels of financial literacy suffer from that lack of knowledge at every stage of their lives. Researchers on this subject say people with a high degree of financial literacy are more likely to plan for their retirement. ___33___
On the contrary, people who have a lower degree of financial literacy tend to borrow more, accumulate less wealth, and pay more in fees related financial products. They are less likely to invest, more likely to
experience difficulty with debt, and less likely to know the terms of their mortgages and other loans. Thus, the cost of this financial ignorance is very high. ___34___
What is the solution? ___35___ Like reading and math, financial education must become part of the core curriculum in our schools. Likewise, parents should engage in regular, constructive conversations about money matters. This will give their kids a solid foundation for financial well-being, which will keep on giving returns throughout the course of their lives.
A. Financial education must start early.
B. However, they miss an important point.
C. Why does each of us have to face a financial challenge?
D. Why does financial literacy matter so much in our society'?
E. Rich people are generally better educated on financial management.
F. Besides, these people have more than double the wealth of people who don’t.
G. For example, they frequently make late credit card payments, overspend their credit limit, etc.
【答案】31. B 32. D 33. F 34. G 35. A

【答案】 An Unforgettable Travel Experience
I like travelling and I have been to many places, and the trip to Sanya is really unforgettable for me.
I went to Sanya with my classmates last summer. It was a very exciting trip. When I got there I took off my shoes and put my feet into the water. The water was cool, and walking in the water was such a great joy that I didn’t want to stop. And then, I went to swim in the blue sea. It was very relaxing. After that, I played sand on the beach with my classmates. We made a sand castle and collected some beautiful shells. We also took a lot of pictures of it. At last, we travelled to an island by ship. It was really beautiful there.
It was an unforgettable trip and we all felt very happy and excited. This trip not only allowed me to relax and broaden my vision, but also enhanced the friendship between my classmates. I looked forward to going there again.

1. The form cannot be signed by anyone ________yourself.
A. rather than B. other than C. more than D. less than
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查介词短语词义辨析。句意：这份表格除了你自己，任何人都不能签字。A. rather than 而不是；B. other than 除了；C. more than多于；D. less than少于。根据句意分析可知，“表格不能由别人代签，除了你自己”，故选B。
2. Your presentation is very attractive and I do think your idea is well ________.
A. worth considering B. worthy considering
C. worthwhile of being considered D. worth being considered
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。句意：你的报告很吸引人，我确实认为你的想法很值得考虑。be worth后接动名词的主动形式表示被动含义，构成be worth doing“值得做某事”结构。be worthy of后接动名词的被动式或不定式的被动式，构成be worthy of being done或be worthy of to be done结构。be worthwhile of being done无此结构。故选A项。
3. I realized that he’s an easygoing person ________I met him.
A. for the first time B. by the first time
C. the first time D. first time
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查时间状语从句。句意：我第一次见到他就意识到他是个随和的人。A. for the first time首次，第一次，在句中一般单独作状语；B. by the first time直到第一次之前；C. the first time第一次……的时候，引导时间状语从句；D. first time首次，在句子中一般不能单用，通常和定冠词 the或物主代词my等词汇一起使用。根据句意及空后I met him可知，此处应用the first time引导时间状语从句， by the first time也可引导时间状语从句，但是不符合语境。故选C。
4. Considering his state, Bob’s doctor suggests ________for a few weeks.
A. him to rest B. he resting
C. he rest D. he must rest
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查虚拟语气。句意：考虑到鲍勃的情况，医生建议他休息几个星期。表示请求、要求、命令或建议等意义的动词所接的宾语从句一般用虚拟语气，其虚拟语气的结构为：(should) +原形动词，should可省略。句中“______for a few weeks.”是suggest后省略连词that的宾语从句，用虚拟语气：(should) +原形动词，C项中省略了should。故选C项。
5. According to the record, his sister left home in 2020, and ________since.
A. had not been heard of B. has not been heard of
C. had not heard of D. has not heard of
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查谓语时态和语态。句意：他的妹妹在1998年离家，至今杳无音讯。 and前用过去式表示她1998年离家这一事实，结合状语since和语境可知，此处用现在完成时表示过去发生的动作对现在造成影响或后果，而且his sister和hear of是被动关系，故用现在完成时的被动语态。故选B。
6. ________that it was already the fourth time that he _________abroad.
A. So lucky was he; traveled B. So lucky he was; traveled
C. So lucky was he; had traveled D. So lucky he was; had traveled
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查倒装句式和固定句式。句意：他很幸运，这已经是他第四次出国旅行了。在so... that…结构中，若将so+adj. / adv. 置于句首，则其后的主句要用部分倒装，因此第一空填So lucky was he；It is（was）the first time that…这一固定句型中，若主句是谓语是is，则从句谓语用现在完成时，若主句谓语是was，则从句谓语用过去完成时；因此第二空填had traveled。故选C项。
7. The day they had been looking forward to ________ at last and they were extremely delighted.
A. came B. come C. coming D. to come
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态。句意：他们一直期待的那一天终于到来了，他们非常高兴。and前后连接两个句子，they had been looking forward to是省略关系代词的定语从句，修饰先行词The day，the day是and前面的句子的主语，设空处是谓语动词，由they were extremely delighted.可知，句子描述的是过去的事情，应用一般过去时。故选A。
8. When I got back home I saw a message pinned to the door ________ “Sorry to miss you; will call later.”
A. reading B. reads C. to read D. read
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：当我回到家的时候，我看到门上钉着一张纸条，上面写着“对不起，错过了你，回头再打电话。”分析句子结构可知read在句中应用非谓语动词形式，与逻辑主语message构成主动关系，故用现在分词作定语。故选A。
9. ________the invitations caused the party to be put off.
A. Tom delayed sending B. Tom delayed to send
C. Tom’s delaying to send D. Tom’s delaying sending
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：汤姆推迟发出请柬，导致晚会推迟了。分析句子可知，空处应填动名词或动名词的复合结构作主语，doing前加名词所有格表示动作的发出者，作其逻辑主语；表示推迟做某事，用delay doing sth.（即delay后跟动名词作宾语）。故填Tom’s delaying sending。故选D项。
10. My friend was very unhappy for ________to the concert.
A. not having been invited B. having not been invited
C. not to be invited D. not having invited
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查动名词。句意：我的朋友因为没有被邀请参加音乐会而感到不高兴。设空处接在介词for后，应用动名词作宾语，该动作发生谓语之前，应用完成式，并且和它的逻辑主语之间是被动关系，应用完成式的被动结构，并且对动名词进行否定，在动名词前加not，故选A。
11. Finding her car stolen, ________.
A. it was looked for everywhere
B. a policeman was asked to help
C. the area was searched thoroughly
D. she hurried to a policeman for help
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：发现她的车被偷了，她急忙去找警察求助。分析句子可知，空前是现在分词，因此find和句子的逻辑主语是主动关系，选项中只有D项中she和find之间构成主谓关系（主动关系），且符合语境；B项a policeman虽然可以和find构成主动关系，但是不符合逻辑，与题意不符。故选D项。
12. Look out！Don’t get too close to the house roof is under repair.
A. whose B. which
C. of which D. that
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：当心!不要太靠近那座屋顶正在修理的房子。先行词the house在定语从句中作名词roof的定语。句中the roof of which =whose roof它的屋顶。故选A。
13. No sooner ________ his talk ________he was surrounded by his fans.
A. had he finished; when B. had he finished; than
C. did he finish; when D. did he finish; than
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型。句意：他刚讲完话就被粉丝包围了。根据句意可知，此处意为“一……就……”，表达为no sooner...than...，no sooner后的主句用过去完成时had done，同时要进行部分倒装，故选B。
14. Sarah hopes to become a friend of ______ shares her interests.
A. anyone B. whomever C. whoever D. no matter who
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句：句意：Sarah希望成为能分享她兴趣的人的朋友。( whoever) shares her interests是宾语从句，作介词of的宾语。whoever在从句中作的是主语。no matter加疑问词只能引导状语从句，不能引导名词性从句，排除D项，而此处关联词在引导的从句中作主语，所以不选B，故选C项。
15. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of ________would be considered a very poor family.
A. which B. that C. who D. what
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句。句意：他们在一个被认为是极度贫困家庭的农场里住了几天几夜。分析句子可知，“______would be considered a very poor family”是介词of后宾语从句，从句引导词在从句中作主语，指物，应用连接代词what引导词该宾语从句。故选D项。

One day when I was 12，my mother gave me an order：I was to walk to the public library，and borrow at least one book for the summerThis was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem—inability to read.
In the library，I found my way into the“Children's Room”．I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random.The cover of a book caught my eye.It presented a picture of a beagle.I had recently had a beagle.the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child.He was my secret sharer，but one morning，he was gone，given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him.I never forgot my beagle.
There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identical(相同的) to my dog.I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover.My eyes ran across the title，Amos，theBeaglewithaPlan.Unknowingly，I had read the title.Without opening the book，I borrowed it from the library for the summer.
Under the shade of a bush，I started to read about Amos.I read very，very slowly with difficulty.Though pages were turned slowly，I got the main idea of the story about a dog who，like mine，had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home.That dog was my dog，and I was the little boy in the book.At the end of the story，my mind continued the final scene of reunion，on and on，until my own lost dog and I
were，in my mind，running together.
My mother's call returned me to the real world.I suddenly realized something：I had read a book，and I had loved reading that book.Everyoneknew I could not read.But I had read it.Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.
I never told my mother about my“miraculous(奇迹般的)”experience that summer，but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year.And years later，she was proud that her son had read thousands of books，was awarded a PhD in literature，and authored his own books，articles，poetry and fiction.The power of the words has held.

C
It’s common knowledge that the woman in Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous painting seems to look back at observers, following them with her eyes no matter where they stand in the room. But this common knowledge turns out wrong.
A new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out at an angle that’s 15. 4 degrees off to the observer’s right-well outside of the range that people normally believe when they think someone is looking
right at them. In other words, said the study author, Horstmann, “She’s not looking at you. “ This is somewhat ironic, because the entire phenomenon of a person’s gaze (凝视) in a photograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the “Mona Lisa effect” . That effect is absolutely real, Horstmann said. If a person is illustrated or photographed looking straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at. As long as the angle of the person’s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.
This is important for human interaction with on-screen characters. If you want someone off to the right side of a room to feel that a person on-screen is looking at him or her, you don’t cut the gaze of the character to that side-surprisingly, doing so would make an observer feel like the character isn’t looking at anyone in the room at all. Instead, you keep the gaze straight ahead.
Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligence avatars(虚拟头像) when Horstmann took a long look at the “Mona Lisa” and realized she wasn’t looking at him.
To make sure it wasn’t just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view images of the “Mona Lisa” on a computer screen. They set a ruler between the viewer and the screen and asked the participants to note which number on the ruler intersected(和……相交) Mona Lisa’s gaze. To calculate the angle of Mona Lisa’s gaze as she looked at the viewer, they moved the ruler farther from or closer to the screen during the study. Consistently, the researchers found, participants judged that the woman in the “Mona Lisa” portrait was not looking straight at them, but slightly off to their right.
So why do people repeat the belief that her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn’t sure. It’s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term “Mona Lisa effect” just thought it was a cool name.
23. It is generally believed that the woman in the painting “Mona Lisa”___________.
A. attracts the viewers to look back
B. seems mysterious because of her eyes

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了人们通常认为《蒙娜丽莎》画像中的女性无论站在房间的哪个角落，似乎蒙娜丽莎总像是在注视着画外人，但事实证明，这种常识是错误的。为什么人们总是认为她的眼睛会跟着观众走呢？Horstmann并不确定。有可能是人们有被注视的欲望，所以他们认为蒙娜丽莎在注视他们，这就是“蒙娜丽莎效应”。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中It’s common knowledge that the woman in Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous painting seems to look back at observers, following them with her eyes no matter where they stand in the room.众所周知，列奥纳多•达•芬奇(Leonardo da Vinci)最著名的画作中的女人，无论站在房间的哪个角落，似乎娜丽莎总像是在注视着画外人，用她的眼睛跟随他们。可知，人们普遍认为，无论站在哪里，画作《蒙娜丽莎》中的女人都会看着画外人。故选D项。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中As long as the angle of the person’s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.
只要人的视线与两边的夹角不超过5度，就会出现蒙娜丽莎效应。故选B项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中To make sure it wasn’t just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view images of the “Mona Lisa” on a computer screen.为了确保不仅仅是他，研究人员让24个人在电脑屏幕上观看“蒙娜丽莎”的图像。可知，为了证实霍斯曼的看法，对24个人进行了调查。故选 A项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题题。根据最后一段中It’s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them.他说，人们有被注视的欲望是可能的，所以他们认为女人在注视他们。可知，蒙娜丽莎被注视的感觉可能是由于对注意力的渴望引起的。故选C项。
D
One rainy evening, a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote road in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path. That’s when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio was parked across a railway line. Seconds later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.
Ceely’s near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS. She had never driven the route before. It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS, but it made no mention of the crossing. “I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train,” she said.
Who is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely’s story in his book When Machines Fail Us, points the finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And it’s not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards.
The problem with his argument in the book is that it’s not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signaling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the GPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn’t say.
It’s a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it’s also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors.
The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for a wiser use of technology.
If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long.
27. The phrase “near miss” (Paragraph 2) can best be replaced by ________.
A. close hit B. heavy loss C. big mistake D. narrow escape
28. Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with?
A. Modern technology is what we can’t live without.
B. GPS error is not the only cause for Ceely’s accident.
C. Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be.
D. Digital technology often falls short of our expectation.
29. In the writer’s opinion, Stevenson’s argument is ________.
A. one-sided B. reasonable C. puzzling D. well-founded
30. What is the real concern of the writer of this article?
A. The shortcomings of digital devices we use.
B. The human unawareness of technical problems.
C. The relationship between human and technology.
D. The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.
【答案】27. D 28. D 29. A 30. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。书籍《当机器让我们失望时》的作者里克·史蒂文森在书中讲述了保拉·希利被导航误导差点被火车撞到的故事，以此说明数字技术的局限性，但是本文作者认为里克·史蒂文森的观点是片面的，并没有考虑到其它可能的因素。作者认为人类和智能设备之间的游戏既有趣又复杂，可能有一种更明智地使用技术的方法。
【27题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段最后三句“That’s when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio was parked across a railway line. Seconds later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks. (就在这时，她听到了火车司机的汽笛。她的雷诺·克里奥停在铁路对面。几秒钟后，她看着火车把她的车沿着铁轨拖了近一公里。)”可知，这是一次死里逃生，所以near miss意为“死里逃生”。故选D。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第三句“We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. (他说，我们相信数字设备，但我们的数字助手往往不能胜任工作。)”和最后一句“And it’s not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards. (不仅仅是GPS设备：史蒂文森带我们参观了涉及从手机到无线键盘的各种数字灾难。)”可知，里克·史蒂文森很可能同意“数字技术往往达不到我们的期望”的观点。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“The problem with his argument in the book is that it’s not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. (他在书中的论点的问题在于，他为什么只关注数字技术，这一点并不清楚，而可能有其他一些原因。)”可知，作者认为史蒂文森的论点是片面的。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒第二段“The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for a wiser use of technology. (人类和智能设备之间游戏既有趣又复杂。它受到经济学、心理学和我们生活的文化的影响。在这些力量的组合中，可能有一种更明智地使用技术的方法。)”可知，本文作者真正关心的是人与技术的关系。故选C。

Financial Education-Awareness Dilemma
When it comes to financial education, the majority of today's youth will regard it as a necessity for certain specific people who want to make their career in the financial world. ___31___ Actually, elementary financial education is a must for all, as money transaction is an essential part of our day-to-day life.
Suppose you have $100 in a saving account that pays simple interest at the rate of 2%per year. lf you leave the money in the account, how much will you have accumulated after 5 years: more than $102, exactly $102, or less than $102? The test might look simple, but only half of the people surveyed gave the correct answer.
___32___The explanation goes as follows: People with low levels of financial literacy suffer from that lack of knowledge at every stage of their lives. Researchers on this subject say people with a high degree of financial literacy are more likely to plan for their retirement. ___33___
On the contrary, people who have a lower degree of financial literacy tend to borrow more, accumulate less wealth, and pay more in fees related financial products. They are less likely to invest, more likely to
experience difficulty with debt, and less likely to know the terms of their mortgages and other loans. Thus, the cost of this financial ignorance is very high. ___34___
What is the solution? ___35___ Like reading and math, financial education must become part of the core curriculum in our schools. Likewise, parents should engage in regular, constructive conversations about money matters. This will give their kids a solid foundation for financial well-being, which will keep on giving returns throughout the course of their lives.
A. Financial education must start early.
B. However, they miss an important point.
C. Why does each of us have to face a financial challenge?
D. Why does financial literacy matter so much in our society'?
E. Rich people are generally better educated on financial management.
F. Besides, these people have more than double the wealth of people who don’t.
G. For example, they frequently make late credit card payments, overspend their credit limit, etc.
