A. in the wake of B. in terms of C. in recognition of D. in spite of
【答案】B

23.It is a different world but one ______ offers huge challenges to ambitious young people interested in ______ our Universe works.
A. which; what B. which; why C. that; how D. that; that
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句和宾语从句。句意：这是一个不同的世界，但对我们的宇宙如何运作感兴趣的有志青年来说，这是一个巨大的挑战，分析句子结构可知，第一空为定语从句，先行词为one，应该用that来引导并在从句中作主语，第二空为宾语从句，从句中缺少方式状语，应该用how表示“如何”，故C项正确。
24.The People’s Bank of China has issued a set of “reform and opening-up” gold coins, but the coins will not be in _______.
A. recognition B. transaction C. circulation D. transportation
【答案】C
【解析】

【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：在被翻译成50多种语言后，SpongeBob SquarePants，又名海绵宝宝，赢得了包括四次艾美奖在内的众多奖项。介词after后接动名词作宾语，SpongeBob SquarePants与translate之间是被动关系，而且被翻译成多种语言和获奖几乎同时发生，没有明显的先后顺序，所以第一空用being translated，SpongeBob SquarePants与refer to之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，应该用过去分词表示被动，所以第二空用referred to，故D项正确。
27.______ you give me a trial, I will do my best to afford you every satisfaction.
A. may B. can C. should D. shall
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查虚拟语气。句意：如蒙试用，本人将尽最大努力工作，争取诸事满意。根据句意可知此处表示如果让我试一试，should位于条件句的句首，表示一种语气较强的虚拟或假设状态，翻译成“假如”，故C项正确。
【点睛】should引导的条件句，是指将should当作if放在条件从句的句首，此时的should并无“应该”之意，它表示一种语气较强的虚拟或假设状态，翻译成“假如”或“万一”，其他情态动词并无此用法。
28.—And what have you got to say?
—There is one point ______ I’d like your advice.
A. which B. what C. where D. that
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：——你有什么要说的？——还有一个问题，我想听听你的建议。先行词为point，翻译为“难点、问题”，从句中不缺主宾表，缺少点状语，所以用where引导这个定语从句，相当于in which，故C项正确。
29.Instead of allowing past mistakes and worries to _______ your energies, you’d better devote your energy to living your life to the fullest.
A. drain B. involve C. suspect D. deposit
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查动词词义辨析。A. drain消耗；B. involve包含；C. suspect怀疑；D. deposit存放、沉积。句意：与其让过去的错误和忧虑耗尽你的精力，你最好把精力投入到充实的生活中去。根据“you’d better devote your energy to living your life to the fullest”可知，此处表示“消耗”，故A项正确。
30.The college announced the students exchange program, most of ______ students having submitted their application forms.
A. them B. which C. whose D. its
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查独立主格结构。句意：学院宣布了交换生计划，大部分学生已经提交了申请表。由于空格后面用了独立主格结构，此处应该用形容词物主代词，it指代the students exchange program，故D项正确。
31.The delay in diagnosis often leads to worse health issues that _______ potentially preventable if they had been given the access in the country where they were working.
A. could have been B. should have been C. must have been D. need have been
【答案】A

34.A new function of China’s official train ticket booking website ______to boost buyers’ chances of obtaining a ticket during the upcoming Spring Festival travel rush.

It covers almost every aspect of millennials’ experiences on their path toward adolescence ---their struggles with schoolwork, their relationship with peers, their confusion if a younger brother or sister is born into the family, and their growing desire to keep a distance from their parents. But this five-episode series was different from any other TV program with a similar theme.
Post-00s was filmed over a period of 10 years, during which the show’s makers followed a group of kids from when they were infants through to when they became teenagers. In other words, the show’s“characters”grow older for real, and their stories are all real.
“Coming-of-age”stories, as they’re known, have a special appeal. They satisfy our curiosity of looking at someone else’s life, and we become more and more attached to the characters as if we truly know them. And while we enjoy the truthfulness of the stories because nothing is set in advance, we also can’t help but feel the cruelty of reality. After all, there’s no re-writing of the script and there’s no turning back--- this is real life.
This realness can also be seen in Boyhood, a 2014 film that won the Silver Bear award for best director at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival. During a period of 12 years, the film follows the life of Mason Jr. --- played by US actor Ellar Coltrane --- from when he was 6 to when he finished high school.
One of Boyhood’s appeals comes from its “ordinariness”. Mason Jr isn’t some child genius He is a quietly spoken, fairly typical American boy, growing up in the Texas suburbs. He likes riding his bike and playing video games.
While coming-of-age stories may look ordinary on the outside, they often allow us to look underneath the surface and see something extraordinary – the power of life itself.
58. In the documentary, we see post-00’s growing experience EXCEPT __________.
A. how they escape from their studies
B. how they get along with people of their age
C. how they help feel about their younger brothers or sisters
D. how much they long to be independent of their parents

【59题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In other words, the show’s“characters”grow older for real, and their stories are all real.”可知，《00后》这部纪录片与其他类似主题的电视节目的不同之处在于它的主要角色的故事都是真实的，故B项正确。

The largest-ever study of the link between city walkability and high blood pressure has been held up as evidence of the “invisible value of urban design” in improving long-term health outcomes, say researchers.
The study of around 430,000 people aged between 38 and 73 and living in 22 UK cities found significant associations between the increased walkability of a neighborhood, lower blood pressure and reduced risk of high blood pressure among its residents.
The outcomes remained consistent even after adjustments for socio-demographic (社会人口统计学), lifestyle and changing physical environment factors, though the protective effects were particularly pronounced among participants aged between 50 and 60, women, and those residing in higher density and poor neighborhoods.
The paper was published in the International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health this week. With high blood pressure a major risk factor for chronic (慢性的) and particularly heart diseases, researchers at the University of Hong Kong and Oxford University said the findings demonstrated the need to take notice of the health-influencing factor in urban design.
“With the increasing pace of urbanization and demographic shifts towards an ageing population, we become more likely to suffer from chronic diseases,” said Dr. Chinmoy Sarkar, an assistant professor at the Healthy High Density Cities Lab of the University of Hong Kong and lead author of the study. “The action taken to improve public health must consider the invisible value of urban planning and design.
“We are spending billions of pounds in preventing and curing heart diseases — if we are able to invest in creating healthy cities through small changes in the design of our neighborhoods to make them more activity-friendly and walkable, then probably, we will have significant savings in future healthcare expenses.”
To measure a neighborhood’s activity-promoting potential, researchers developed a set of index(指标) of walkability containing relevant urban elements, including residential and retail (零售) density, public transport, street-level movement, and distance to attractive destinations.
Poorly designed spaces generally reduced walking and physical activity, promoting the lifestyles of long time sitting down and not moving; and were harmful to social interactions, and as such associated with poorer mental and physical health.
Because walkability was “based on the underlying design of the city”, said Sarkar, cities could be modified or designed to encourage it. “Such investments in healthy design are likely to bring in long-term gains as they are enduring and common.”
61. By considering “invisible value of urban design”, people can _______.
A. reduce the ageing population
B. promote activity-friendly and walkable cities
C. invest in preventing and curing heart diseases
D. slow down the pace of urbanization
62. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. A set of index is essential to ensure that urban design promotes walkability.
B. Walkable cities will cure a person of his or her high blood pressure.
C. Chronic diseases are becoming common due to people’s neglect of their health.
D. Middle-aged women living in poor areas are more likely to benefit from increased walkability.
63. All of the following are the undesirable consequences of poorly-designed neighborhoods EXCEPT _______.
A. fewer neighborhoods B. unhealthy lifestyle
C. fewer social interactions D. failing health
64. According to Dr. Chinmoy Sarkar, _______.
A. cities should encourage the residents to engage in social interactions
B. the design of our neighborhoods should meet people’s needs for retail density
C. money invested in creating healthy cities is money saved in future healthcare expenses
D. chronic diseases will be common because of pollution and the environment change
【答案】61. B 62. D 63. A 64. C

细节理解题。根据第六段中的“if we are able to invest in creating healthy cities through small changes in the design of our neighborhoods to make them more activity-friendly and walkable, then probably,”可知，通过考虑城市设计的无形价值，人们能够让城市变得更加环保和适宜步行，故B项正确。
【62题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“though the protective effects were particularly pronounced among participants aged between 50 and 60, women, and those residing in higher density and poor neighborhoods.”可知，步行能力增强能够降低血压的效果在贫困地区的50 到 60岁之间的人以及妇女中尤为明显，由此推知生活在贫困地区的中年妇女更有可能受益于步行能力的增强，故D项正确。
【63题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Poorly designed spaces generally reduced walking and physical activity, promoting the lifestyles of long time sitting down and not moving; and were harmful to social interactions, and as such associated with poorer mental and physical health.”可知，设计不良的社区会导致居民步行和身体运动的减少，形成久坐不动的生活方式，对居民的社交活动也不利，而且还会影响居民的身心健康，而没有提到会使社区减少，故A项正确。
【64题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Such investments in healthy design are likely to bring in long-term gains as they are enduring and common.”可知，Chinmoy Sarkar认为，对城市健康设计的投资能后带来长期效益，由此推知他会认为投资于健康城市的钱能够节省医疗保健的开支，故C项正确。
【点睛】涉及到人物观点的推理判断题一定要紧紧抓住人物在文中所说的话，理解其言外之意，例如本篇第4题，根据最后一段中Sarkar所说的“Such investments in healthy design are likely to bring in long-term gains as they are enduring and common.”可知，他认为对城市健康设计的投资能够带来长期效益，而投资于健康城市的钱能够节省医疗保健的开支是长期效益的一个体现。

I have happy memories of trips to Europe, but my trip to Romania (罗马尼亚) was unique. When I was there as recalled, it was like being in a “James Bond” movie. My husband was born there, but his family sent him to study in Italy. Before he left, his mother told him, “As long as I write in pencil, don’t come back. When I write to you in pen, it’s safe to return.” But she never wrote in pen.
My husband lived a poor life in Italy. He applied to go to America, but there was a limit in number and he was rejected. He was accepted by Canada, though, and from Calgary he jumped onto a train to San Francisco. There he stayed —illegally. He became a US citizen when we got married. By then he was a charming European with a Romanian accent and the manners of a prince.
With seven years’ experience in America, a US passport, and two children later, he felt it was safe to visit Romania. He hadn’t seen his mother, two sisters, and two brothers since he was sixteen. We flew to Munich, Germany; picked up the German-made car we had purchased in the States; and drove to Romania via Austria and Hungary. When we reached Bucharest, the capital city of Romania, his family was waiting outside his sister’s house to greet us. After a long time of hugging, kissing, and crying, his family also hugged me, the American wife with two young children. They had great interest in me. Few Americans visited Romania at that time, and most Romanians had little chance to travel. I had brought an English-Romanian dictionary with me and managed to communicate, using only nouns, with no verbs. My Romanian improved, and the family’s stock of English words increased, but mostly I spoke in broken, New York-accented Romanian. The sisters loved their gifts of skirts and purses, the brothers loved the radios, and the children loved the candy. We made side trips to the Black Sea and enjoyed sightseeing in beautiful mountains. Dining at outdoor cafes to the music of violins was fantastic with fancy flavor, but nothing was as special as family dinners.
Romania didn’t have many dry cleaners. Most homes had old-fashioned washing machines but no dryers, and it was a hot summer. My husband’s relatives didn’t want to risk dirtying their clothes. Their solution was as simple as it was shocking: the women only wore their bras(胸罩) and slips (衬裙) at dinner table. The men were eating without shirts. They all had jobs, so time was precious. Having dinner without proper clothes was a small inconvenience compared with the effort of washing clothes —at least in my husband’s home, perhaps all across Romania. I, of course, having just met them, ate fully clothed. I washed my clothes by hand and hung them outdoors to dry.
On the last night of our three-week stay, we had a large family dinner. I was tired of washing my clothes. So I pulled my dress over my head and placed it on the chair behind me. All men and women applauded for my action. Even with my poor Romanian, I understood that they were saying, “She’s part of our family now.”
My children were 4 and 5 at the time, but they still have memories of that trip. They know how to say, “Good morning.” and “There are apricots (杏子) on the tree.” I can still say, “Do you speak Romanian?”and “I swim in the Black Sea.” But most of all, I remember sitting at a long dining-room table in my bra, enjoying meatballs with fresh garlic .
65. From Para. 1, we can infer that ________.
A. the mother didn’t want to see her son B. a trip to Europe would be dangerous
C. the mother didn’t like to write in pen D. Romania might be unsafe at that time
66. The writer’s husband obtained an American citizenship through ________.
A. marriage B. application C. illegal stay D. academic performance
67. Which of the following statements about the writer’s trip in Romania is true?
A. The couplebought a new German-made car after they arrived in German.
B. The writer had little interest in the relatives.
C. The writer used a new language with effort.
D. The family enjoyed swimming in the black sea best.
68. What made the writer feel special about the family dinner in Romania?
A. The way people dressed. B. The way people spoke.
C. The fantastic violin music. D. The fancy food flavor.
69. The writer was completely accepted by her husband’s family when ________.
A. she offered gifts to the whole family B. she spoke her husband’s language
C. she washed all the clothes by hand D. she had dinner in bra like other ladies
70. The writer shared her story to say ________.
A. “one needs to sacrifice to find true love”
B. “east and west, home is the best”
C. “when in Rome do as the Romans do”
D. “marry a dog and follow the dog forever”

Going broke in your golden years is commonplace, lasts a long time and is a scarier nightmare than any Halloween horror film. But by changing habits and doing some smart planning, you can avoid that terror.
Here are my suggestions:
Cheaper housing
Cutting big, unnecessary expenses is a better place to start.
For many, the best savings trick is leaving a big city. Housing, restaurants, groceries and basic services typically get cheaper the farther you get from a metropolitan center.
In Seattle, for example, a three-bedroom home can cost $1 million or more, according to Zillow. In nearby Duvall, Washington, you get that house plus a nice yard for half a million or less. Renting a three-bedroom Seattle pad typically costs $3,500 a month or more. In the suburbs? Try $2,200. That’s over $15,000 in annual savings.
Look up housing costs in any major city and its suburbs. You’ll see similar trends. In California, you get more for your buck in San Ramon than in San Francisco. Santa Clarita is hugely more affordable than Los Angeles.
Round Rock, Texas, beats Austin. Garden City, New York, beats Manhattan. Move farther out, to true rural America, and you can cut housing costs by half again, easy.
Can’t give up urban living? Consider moving to a cheaper metro area.
According to SmartAsset’s analysis, a $1 million retirement fund lasts just 10.5 years in Manhattan. San Francisco is nearly as bad, just 12.7 years.
But in some big cities, your buck stretches further. In Denver, your $1 million savings could last 21 years. West Coasters might also try Phoenix, where $1 million lasts over 25 years.
Cut entertainment spending
If you don’t want to leave family, friends or community, there is another big, easy way to save: Slash entertainment spending. Few folks fully understand what they waste unconsciously. It’s estimated that people aged 65 to 74 spend $5,832 annually on play. For a couple, that’s around $11,000. One reason it gets out of hand? In retirement, you jump from one or two leisure days a week to seven.
But there is a lot of free and cheap fun. Consider your local Shakespeare in the Park instead of spending hundreds for “Hamilton” tickets. Have picnics or experiment your way through a new cookbook instead of eating out regularly. While watching TV, make sure you actually use services you subscribe to. Many subscribe to things (streaming, gyms, wholesale retailers, etc.) they rarely use.
Rethink your old budget
Central to all this: Plan to change your habits, which can become our real Halloween goblins. Humans are habitual creatures, and our routines keep us spending the way we did before.
Just as important as avoiding old routines is setting a budget. Then stick to it. Keep records of your spending. Hold yourself accountable. Don’t forget to plan for the unexpected! Many folks forget to factor in wiggle room for car or home maintenance.
Budgeting and penny-pinching may not sound fun. But it beats the terrifying misery of going broke in old age. A little planning goes a long way later.
Title: Three tips to avoid terror of ___71___ out of money in retirement
Tip1:Reduce housing expenses
Housing expenses differ greatly because of different ___72___ of the houses.
◇The farther you are away from a metropolitan center, the smaller your expenses are.
◇Housing costs are higher in any major city than housing costs in its suburbs. For example, you’ll spend ___73___ if you choose to live in Manhattan rather than in Garden City, New York.
◇A $1 million retirement fund can ___74___ out twice longer in Denver than in Manhattan.
Tip2: Spend less on entertainment
Free and cheap fun helps.
◇One reason why retired folks can’t ___75___ the amount of money on entertainment is that they have 7 days’ free time every week while they had only one or two leisure days when they were ___76___. That means they have more opportunities to spend their money.
◇Avoid ___77___ to the TV services that you seldom use.
Tip3: Think ___78___ about your old budget
Avoiding old routines and setting a budget are of the same importance.
◇It’s important to make ___79___ to your old routines.
◇___80___ aside some money for unexpected things, such as the expenses to maintain your car and home.

【72题详解】
考查名词。“Seattle, for example, a three-bedroom home can cost $1 million or more, according to Zillow. In nearby Duvall, Washington, you get that house plus a nice yard for half a million or less. Renting a three-bedroom Seattle pad typically costs $3,500 a month or more. In the suburbs? Try $2,200. That’s over $15,000 in annual savings.”可知，以城市和郊区为例说明房子的位置不同，费用也不同，different后接可数名词复数，故填locations。
【73题详解】
考查比较级。根据“Garden City, New York, beats Manhattan.”可知，在可负担方面，花园城击败了曼哈顿，也就说住在曼哈顿比住在花园城要花费更多，故填more。

考查动词。根据“a $1 million retirement fund lasts just 10.5 years in Manhattan.”可知，100万美元的退休金在曼哈顿只能维持10.5年，再根据“In Denver, your $1 million savings could last 21 years.”可知，100万美元的退休金在在丹佛可以维持21年，维持时间是在曼哈顿的两倍，hold/last out表示“维持、坚持”，can后接动词原形，故填hold/last。
【75题详解】
考查动词。根据“One reason it gets out of hand? In retirement, you jump from one or two leisure days a week to seven.”可知，退休人员很难控制钱的原因是上班的时候每周只有一两天的休闲时间，而退休后一周七天都是休闲时间，get out of hand=can’t control，表示“无法控制”，故填control。
【76题详解】
考查动词。以前上班的时候每周只有一两天的休闲时间，而退休后一周七天都是休闲时间，此处是上班时和退休后的对比，根据前面的were判断此处可以用work的进行时或employ的过去分词表示“上班、被雇佣”，故填working/employed。
【77题详解】
考查非谓语动词。根据“While watching TV, make sure you actually use services you subscribe to.”可知，看电视时，一定要使用你订阅的服务，避免订阅你很少用的服务，avoid后接动名词作宾语，故填subscribing。

81.请阅读下面短文，并按要求写一篇150词左右的文章。
When I was mostly in middle school and high school I was tormented because I was ugly. It still happens from time to time. But it was much worse in middle school and first year of high school. Random strangers would call me ugly. Once I was walking to school and the boys behind told his friend “yo, that girl is mad ugly.” Another incident I had was in the bus filled with rowdy kids and as I pushed the door to get out, a kid I walked by saying “ugly bitch.” I had groups of girls also say that to me and would give me nasty faces. I barely have any friends due to this and that fact though I’ve been very academic all the time.
All of this has put me into depression. I do not like most boys and they don’t like me because I am not pretty enough and treat me like crap because of it. I get very anxious to be in public a lot and in school as I still have groups of mean girls staring me down and boys too. I have enough of feelings like an alien, I replay these horrible memories over and hate it, I hate I was born with this face, why couldn’t everyone be born equally beautiful? How can I get over this pain and not be so anxious? I think I am hideous, especially the sides of my face.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Not looking beautiful, a girl is always scorned or even insulted by others, which makes her upset and at a loss for what to do with her life.
While I hate to admit it, people always tend to judge a person by his or her appearance initially. Personally, if Tm blessed with a beautiful face, I should be thankful for the gift. If not, I see no reason why I should be chained by a sense of inferiority. As a saint once put it, external beauty is but skin deep, it is our inner beauty that lasts.
Were I the classmate of the girl, I would tell her that physical beauty is by birth, but inner beauty is cultivated after birth. If we learn to be helpful, affectionate, and forgiving which are all the valuable traits that inner beauty bears in people, we can also be a beauty. Moreover, Humans, by definition, are imperfect. It's the imperfections that make each of us unique and original. More importantly, I would give her a sincere hug and smile every day, so that she could feel the warmth and kindness of this world.
