第二部分阅读理解(共两节 40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,共30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Slowly, so slowly that we never even noticed how it happened, our family stopped talking to each other. Our own worlds opened up to us through the computer or the cell phone or the CD player.
Family Night was born when Mom called us for dinner. Jessica and I came and sat down. Dad loaded his plate and started to rise from the table.
“Where are you going?” Mom questioned.
“To the living room. I have some work,” Dad replied as he hurried away. Mom’s face got tight, but she said nothing. About two minutes later, my cell phone buzzed. Jessica kept her earphones on during most of the meal. Mom was clearly upset.
Family Night started the next week. Mom established three rules: no phones, no music, and no leaving the table. Everyone would eat together and play a game together “like a real family.”
All seemed to be going according to Mom’s plan until the first buzz of a cell phone. After dinner, we had been playing the board game for only ten minutes when another cell phone let out a shrill scream. This time the phone belonged to my father.
“Work’s calling. I have to answer,” he whispered as he hurried out of the room.
Mom sighed, but she forced a smile and encouraged us to continue with the game. We kept playing through every interruption afterwards: the beeping of Jessica’s phone, the buzz of another text message from Darnell, the soothing voice announcing the arrival of an e-mail on Dad’s computer. When the game was over, Mom released us to our rooms.
That first Family Night was not a success, but Mom soldiered on. Every Monday evening we silenced our electronics and gathered around the table; and each time, setting aside our technological toys became a little easier. The next two months my father would be taking business trips. We wouldn’t be able to have Family Night every Monday.
To my surprise I realized that I would miss those few hours each week when the house was filled with my family’s laughter and conversation. I was also glad to know that when we really wanted to, we could silence the electronic buzz and just be a family again.
31. What led to the start of Family Night?
A. Electronics harmed the family’s life.
B. Heavy housework made Mom angry.
C. Dad didn’t get along well with others.
D. The children were too lazy to help Mom.
32. Family Night made the family ________ than before.
A. closer B. healthier
C. more relaxed D. more confident
33. What words can best describe the first Family Night?
A. Tiring but satisfying. B. Challenging but exciting.
C. Busy but interesting. D. Unsuccessful but meaningful.
34. It can be inferred that ________.
A. Dad seldom took business trips
B. the author enjoyed Family Night
C. Family Night would not continue
D. the children threw away the cellphones
【答案】31. A 32. A 33. D 34. B
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇记叙文。文章解释了一种社会现象。电子产品损害了作者家庭的生活,因而导致了Family Night的开始。Family Night使家庭比以前更亲密。告诫我们:珍惜亲情,远离电子产品。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中Family Night started the next week. Mom established three rules: no phones, no music, and no leaving the table.可知,“电子产品损害了这个家庭的生活”导致了Family Night的开始。故选A。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中Everyone would eat together and play a game together “like a real family.”可知,Family Night使家庭比以前更亲密。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中最后一句Everyone would eat together and play a game together “like a real family.”和第六段第一句All seemed to be going according to Mom’s plan until the first buzz of a cell phone.可知,“不成功而有意义”最能描述第一个Family Night。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段To my surprise I realized that I would miss those few hours each week when the house was filled with my family’s laughter and conversation. I was also glad to know that when we really wanted to, we could silence the electronic buzz and just be a family again.可知,可以推断,作者很享受Family Night。故选B。
【点睛】做推理判断题时对于暗含在文章中的人物的行为动机、事件的因果关系及作者未言明的倾向、意图、态度、观点等要进行合乎逻辑的判断、推理、分析,进一步增强理解能力,抓住材料实质性的东西。本题第3小题,根据第五段中最后一句Everyone would eat together and play a game together “like a real family.”和第六段第一句All seemed to be going according to Mom’s plan until the first buzz of a cell phone.可知,“不成功而有意义”最能描述第一个Family Night。故选D。

A blog posted Dec 7, 2018 at 12:17 PM by Alanna Mallon
Alanna Mallon is a Cambridge City Councilor.
Each year in November, I receive a flurry of emails and texts from friends who want to volunteer with their families on Thanksgiving as a way to give back. I also field phone calls from organizations who want to donate to local programs that provide Thanksgiving meals.
However, as an official who still works in the nonprofit sector, I also feel deeply anxious because I know the other 51 weeks of the year, these critical programs that provide food access to residents in need are starving for both volunteers and donations. Hunger is a year round problem, and each week volunteers are the necessary part to ensure that programs are able to serve the community.
At Food For Free, we rely on about 100 volunteers per week, and each of those volunteers is extremely important to providing fresh, healthy food to people in the Greater Boston area who need it. School children who take backpacks of food home on Fridays, community college students who rely on our Family Meals program to thrive in class, elderly and disabled residents who receive twice monthly deliveries of food to their doors through our Home Delivery program, — they all rely on us ensuring enough volunteers show up to do the work.
These volunteers don’t show up in your social media feeds, they don’t win awards and no one writes about them in the local newspapers. But they are heroes. And you can be too.
If everyone made a promise to volunteer once a month, or even once a quarter, I know that we could reduce some of the anxiety these organizations feel, as a more reliable volunteer network allows them to focus on helping people, not filling volunteer slots.
Here is a list of a few organizations who are doing critical work in Cambridge to address food insecurity. Offer your time to an organization, they will be deeply grateful—and I am going to bet that you will feel pretty good about yourself too.
Food For Free: http://foodforfree.org/volunteer.
CEOC: http://ceoccambridge.org/food-pantry.
Harvard Square Homeless Shelter: https://hshshelter.org/volunteer.
Community Cooks: https://communitycooks.org/join-us.
Margaret Fuller Neighborhood House: http://margaretfullerhouse.org
35. What can be learnt from the first two paragraphs?
A. The food safety worries the author.
B. Volunteers are needed all year round.
C. Donations can be made through the Internet.
D. People like getting together on Thanksgiving.
36. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.
A. the need for fresh food B. the duty of Food For Free
C. the value of voluntary work D. the difficult life of local people
37. The passage is to ________.
A. call for action B. express thanks
C. advertise programs D. introduce websites
【答案】35. B 36. C 37. A
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇记叙文。社会全年都需要志愿者,这些志愿者不会出现在你的社交媒体上,他们不会获奖,也没有人在当地报纸上报道他们。但他们是英雄。文章呼吁我们行动起来。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段第一句Each year in November, I receive a flurry of emails and texts from friends who want to volunteer with their families on Thanksgiving as a way to give back.“每年11月,我都会收到一大堆朋友发来的电子邮件和短信,他们想在感恩节和家人一起做志愿者,作为回报。”和第二段最后一句each week volunteers are the necessary part to ensure that programs are able to serve the community.“每周志愿者都是确保项目能够为社区服务的必要部分。”可知,全年都需要志愿者。故选B。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中These volunteers don’t show up in your social media feeds, they don’t win awards and no one writes about them in the local newspapers. But they are heroes.“这些志愿者不会出现在你的社交媒体上,他们不会获奖,也没有人在当地报纸上报道他们。但他们是英雄。”故选C。
【37题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段Here is a list of a few organizations who are doing critical work in Cambridge to address food insecurity. Offer your time to an organization, they will be deeply grateful—and I am going to bet that you will feel pretty good about yourself too.“以下是一些在剑桥大学为解决粮食不安全问题而进行重要工作的组织。把你的时间奉献给一个组织,他们会非常感激你——我敢打赌你也会自我感觉很好。”可知,本文呼吁我们行动起来。故选A。
【点睛】抓住文章主线和关键词语,归纳文章中心
要注意不是所有的段落都有主题句,有时主题句暗含在句中。阅读这样的文章,就需要自己根据文章的细节来分析,概括出段落的主题,从而推导出文章的主旨。分析的方法是:先弄清该段落主要讲了哪几方面的内容,这些内容在逻辑上有什么联系,然后加以归纳形成主题。本题第3小题,根据最后一段Here is a list of a few organizations who are doing critical work in Cambridge to address food insecurity.

C
Many of us listen to music while we work, thinking that it will help us to concentrate on the task at hand. And in fact, recent research has found that music can have beneficial effects on creativity. When it comes to other areas of performance, however, the impact of background music is more complicated.
The idea that listening to music when working is beneficial to output probably has its roots in the so-called “Mozart effect”. Put simply, this is the finding that spatial rotation performance(空间旋转能力) is increased immediately after listening to the music of Mozart, compared to no sound at all.
How sound affects performance has been the topic of research for over 40 years, and is observed through a phenomenon called the irrelevant sound effect. To study irrelevant sound effect, participants in the research are asked to complete a simple task which requires them to recall a series of numbers or letters in the exact order in which they saw them. The tricky thing is being able to do this while ignoring any background noise.
Two key characteristics of the irrelevant sound effect are required for its observation. First, the task must require the person to use their rehearsal abilities(复述能力), and second, the sound must contain acoustical variation(声学变化). Where the sound does not vary much acoustically, the performance of the task is much closer to that observed in quiet conditions.
The irrelevant sound effect itself comes from attempting to process two sources of ordered information at the same time—one from the task and one from the sound. Unfortunately, only the former is required to successfully perform the recall task, and the effort in ensuring that irrelevant order information from the sound is not processed actually hinders(阻碍) this ability.
A similar conflict is also seen when reading while in the presence of lyrical music. In this situation, the two sources of words—from the task and the sound—are in conflict. The cost is poorer performance of the task in the presence of music with lyrics.
What this all means is that whether having music playing in the background helps or hinders performance depends on the task and on the type of music, and only understanding this relationship will help people maximize their productivity levels.
38. “Mozart effect” is mentioned to ________.
A. explain how music can relax people
B. show music can improve performance
C. advise people to listen to Mozart music
D. stress Mozart music gains wide attention
39. It can be inferred that participants in the research ________.
A. have improved their rehearsal ability
B. perform better in the quiet conditions
C. ignore the background noise successfully
D. prefer the music with great sound variation
40. Paragraph 6 is written to ________.
A. support an idea B. make a contrast
C. introduce a topic D. describe a fact
41. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Music shapes your life
B. Music develops your creativity
C. Choose quiet music for your work
D. Does music make you concentrate?
【答案】38. B 39. B 40. A 41. D
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述的是“音乐在工作中的效应”。我们中的许多人在工作时听音乐,认为它会帮助我们集中精力完成手头的任务。事实上,最近的研究发现,音乐可以对创造力产生有益的影响。然而,当涉及到其他表演领域时,背景音乐的影响就更加复杂了。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句When it comes to other areas of performance, however, the impact of background music is more complicated.“然而,当涉及到其他表演领域时,背景音乐的影响就更加复杂了。”和第二段第一句The idea that listening to music when working is beneficial to output probably has its roots in the so-called “Mozart effect”.“工作时听音乐有利于产量的观点,可能根源于所谓的“莫扎特效应”。”可知,“莫扎特效应”是指音乐可以提高演奏水平。故选B。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句Where the sound does not vary much acoustically, the performance of the task is much closer to that observed in quiet conditions.“在声音变化不大的情况下,任务的性能更接近于在安静条件下观察到的性能”。 可以推断,研究参与者在安静的环境中表现得更好。故选B。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中A similar conflict is also seen when reading while in the presence of lyrical music. In this situation, the two sources of words—from the task and the sound—are in conflict.可知,第6段是为了支持一个观点而写的。故选A。
【41题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段What this all means is that whether having music playing in the background helps or hinders performance depends on the task and on the type of music, and only understanding this relationship will help people maximize their productivity levels.“这一切都意味着,在后台播放音乐是有助于还是阻碍表现取决于任务和音乐类型,只有理解这种关系才能帮助人们最大化他们的生产力水平。”可知,本文主题是D项“音乐能让你集中注意力吗?”
【点睛】推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上,做出一定的推理判断,从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话,也可能是某几句话,所以,推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案:即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含infer, suggest, imply, conclude ,indicate等标志性词语。 这种题型主要包括细节判断题、态度观点推断题、写作意图推断题、文章出处判断题和猜测想象推断题。本题第2小题,根据第四段最后一句Where the sound does not vary much acoustically, the performance of the task is much closer to that observed in quiet conditions.“在声音变化不大的情况下,任务的性能更接近于在安静条件下观察到的性能”。 可以推断,研究参与者在安静的环境中表现得更好。故选B。

According to official government figures, there are more than twice as many kangaroos as people in Australia, and many Australians consider them pests(有害动物). Landholding farmers say that the country’s estimated 50 million kangaroos damage their crops and compete with livestock for scarce resources. Australia’s insurance industry says that kangaroos are involved in more than 80 percent of the 20,000-plus vehicle-animal collisions reported each year. In the country’s underpopulated region, the common belief is that kangaroo numbers have swollen to “plague proportions.”
In the absence of traditional hunters, the thinking goes, killing kangaroos is critical to balancing the ecology and boosting the rural economy. A government-sanctioned(政府认可的) industry, based on the commercial harvest of kangaroo meat and hides, exported $29 million in products in 2017 and supports about 4,000 jobs. Today meat, hides, and leather from kangaroos have been exported to 56 countries. Global brands such as Nike, Puma, and Adidas buy strong, supple “k-leather” to make athletic gear. And kangaroo meat is finding its way into more and more grocery stores.
Advocates point out that low-fat, high-protein kangaroo meat comes from an animal more environmentally friendly than greenhouse gas-emitting sheep and cattle. John Kelly, former executive director of the Kangaroo Industry Association of Australia, says, “Harvesting our food and fibers from animals adapted to Australia’s fragile rangelands is extremely wise and sustainable. Many ecologists will tell you that there is no more humane way of producing red meat.”
Opponents(反对者) of the industry call the killing inhumane, unsustainable, and unnecessary. Population estimates are highly debatable, they say, but “plague proportions” are biologically implausible. Little kangaroos grow slowly, and many die, so kangaroo populations can expand by only 10 to 15 percent a year, and then only under the best of circumstances. Dwayne Bannon-Harrison, a member of the Yuin people of New South Wales, says the idea that kangaroos are destroying the country is laughable. “They’ve been walking this land a lot longer than people have,” he says. “How could something that’s been here for thousands of years be ‘destroying’ the country? I don’t understand the logic in that.”
Can Australians’ conflicting attitudes toward kangaroos be reconciled(和解)? George Wilson says that if kangaroos were privately owned, then graziers(放牧人)—working independently or through wildlife conservancies—would protect the animals, treating them as possessions. They could feed them, lease them, breed them and charge hunter a fee for access. “If you want to conserve something,” Wilson says, “you have to give it a value. Animals that are considered pests don’t have value.”
Privatization could also help reduce grazing pressures. If kangaroos were more valuable than cattle or sheep, farmers would keep less live-stock, which could be good for the environment. Under this scheme, landholders would work with the kangaroo industry on branding, marketing and quality control. The government’s role would be oversight and regulation.
42. What can be learnt from the first three paragraphs?
A. Kangaroo meat is healthier than other red meat.
B. Global brands make small profits on kangaroos.
C. Kangaroos are more friendly to the environment.
D. Overpopulated kangaroos have become a financial burden.
43. What does the underlined word “implausible” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Unreasonable. B. Immeasurable.
C. Unquestionable. D. Unchangeable.
44. Which of the following might be the benefit of privatization?
A. The popularity of kangaroo hunting.
B. The reduction in the number of kangaroos.
C. The establishment of more conservation areas.
D. The better management of the kangaroo industry.
45. The passage is written to ________.
A. argue against the killing of kangaroos
B. stress the importance of protecting kangaroos
C. present different opinions on the kangaroo industry
D. provide a solution to the problem caused by kangaroos
【答案】42. C 43. A 44. D 45. D
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是“如何解决袋鼠造成的问题”。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中第一句Advocates point out that low-fat, high-protein kangaroo meat comes from an animal more environmentally friendly than greenhouse gas-emitting sheep and cattle.“倡导人士指出,低脂肪、高蛋白袋鼠肉来自一种比排放温室气体的绵羊和牛更环保的动物。”可知,袋鼠对环境更友好。故选C。
【43题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段中Little kangaroos grow slowly, and many die, so kangaroo populations can expand by only 10 to 15 percent a year, and then only under the best of circumstances.“小袋鼠生长缓慢,很多会死亡,所以袋鼠的数量每年只能增长10%到15%,而且只有在最好的情况下才会增长。”可知,“人口估计非常有争议,但是“瘟疫比例”在生物学上是不可信的。”由此推知划线词的意思是“难以置信的”。故选A。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Privatization could also help reduce grazing pressures.“私有化也可以帮助减少放牧的压力。”和Under this scheme, landholders would work with the kangaroo industry on branding, marketing and quality control. The government’s role would be oversight and regulation.“根据这一计划,土地所有者将与袋鼠产业合作,在品牌、营销和质量控制方面进行合作。政府的作用将是监督和监管。”可知,更好地管理袋鼠产业可能是私有化的好处。故选D。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中Under this scheme, landholders would work with the kangaroo industry on branding, marketing and quality control. The government’s role would be oversight and regulation.“根据这一计划,土地所有者将与袋鼠产业合作,在品牌、营销和质量控制方面进行合作。政府的作用将是监督和监管。”可知,这篇文章是为解决袋鼠造成的问题而写的。故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Empathy is the ability to imagine what it must be like in someone else’s situation. It is an essential part of what it means to be human, to the extent that we are suspicious of anyone who does not show empathy in their behavior.
___46___ We read novels, watch television and go to the theatre, and part of our enjoyment comes from understanding the dilemma faced by the characters because we know how we would feel if we were in the same situation.
___47___ One study has shown animals displaying empathy towards other animals and towards humans. Creatures from across the animal kingdom such as bees and whales, as well as domestic pets, display behavior that suggests they cooperate with and protect each other.
In another study, psychiatrist Jules Masserman and his team conducted an experiment with monkeys in which the monkeys pulled one of two chains that released food. One chain simply released the food, while another gave an electric shock to a second monkey. The first monkey stopped pulling the chain that delivered the shock. ____48____ This empathetic behavior was observed in a number of monkeys.
The origin of empathy is probably the need for the young of all animal species to be cared for. They communicate this requirement by crying for attention and to show pain. Both human and non-human young were more likely to survive if their parents reacted positively to their needs. People and animals alike are social beings and are more likely to work together. ____49____ If we help others, we are also helping ourselves and so empathy is sensible and realistic.
We don’t always display empathy, however. Just as animals react aggressively to unknown creatures from their own or other species, humans tend to regard people they don’t know with suspicion. ____50____ Our unwillingness to trust anyone unfamiliar is as natural to us as our empathy towards those we know and love.
A. To feel empathy is not restricted to real life.
B. You can empathize with someone without feeling sympathy for them.
C. This fear of strangers will, we believe, protect us from personal danger.
D. It seemed to be willing to go hungry rather than see a fellow animal suffer.
E. However, it seems that in fact empathy may not be a quality unique to humans.
F. Empathy plays a role in that as it allows us to understand our fellow humans better.
G. It’s certainly difficult to understand an animal’s intention behind an emphatic response.
【答案】46. A 47. E
48. D 49. F
50. C
【解析】

上文提示“第一只猴子停了下来。”再根据下文提示“这种移情行为在许多猴子身上都观察到了。”承接上下文,D项 It seemed to be willing to go hungry rather than see a fellow animal suffer.(它似乎宁愿挨饿也不愿看到同伴受苦。)切题。故选D。
【49题详解】
上文提示“人和动物一样都是社会性动物,更有可能在一起工作。”再根据下文提示“如果我们帮助别人,我们也在帮助自己,所以同理心是明智和现实的。”承接上下文,F项 Empathy plays a role in that as it allows us to understand our fellow humans better.(同理心在其中扮演了一个角色,因为它让我们更好地理解我们的人类同胞。)切题。故选F。
【50题详解】
上文提示“正如动物对来自它们自己或其他物种的未知生物的攻击性反应一样,人类倾向于用怀疑的眼光看待他们不认识的人。”再根据下文“我们不愿意相信任何不熟悉的人,这对我们来说很自然,就像我们对认识和爱的人产生同理心一样。”承接上下文,C项This fear of strangers will, we believe, protect us from personal danger.(我们相信,这种对陌生人的恐惧会保护我们免受人身危险。)切题。故选C。

A
Slowly, so slowly that we never even noticed how it happened, our family stopped talking to each other. Our own worlds opened up to us through the computer or the cell phone or the CD player.
Family Night was born when Mom called us for dinner. Jessica and I came and sat down. Dad loaded his plate and started to rise from the table.
“Where are you going?” Mom questioned.
“To the living room. I have some work,” Dad replied as he hurried away. Mom’s face got tight, but she said nothing. About two minutes later, my cell phone buzzed. Jessica kept her earphones on during most of the meal. Mom was clearly upset.
Family Night started the next week. Mom established three rules: no phones, no music, and no leaving the table. Everyone would eat together and play a game together “like a real family.”
All seemed to be going according to Mom’s plan until the first buzz of a cell phone. After dinner, we had been playing the board game for only ten minutes when another cell phone let out a shrill scream. This time the phone belonged to my father.
“Work’s calling. I have to answer,” he whispered as he hurried out of the room.
Mom sighed, but she forced a smile and encouraged us to continue with the game. We kept playing through every interruption afterwards: the beeping of Jessica’s phone, the buzz of another text message from Darnell, the soothing voice announcing the arrival of an e-mail on Dad’s computer. When the game was over, Mom released us to our rooms.
That first Family Night was not a success, but Mom soldiered on. Every Monday evening we silenced our electronics and gathered around the table; and each time, setting aside our technological toys became a little easier. The next two months my father would be taking business trips. We wouldn’t be able to have Family Night every Monday.
To my surprise I realized that I would miss those few hours each week when the house was filled with my family’s laughter and conversation. I was also glad to know that when we really wanted to, we could silence the electronic buzz and just be a family again.
31. What led to the start of Family Night?
A. Electronics harmed the family’s life.
B. Heavy housework made Mom angry.
C. Dad didn’t get along well with others.
D. The children were too lazy to help Mom.
32. Family Night made the family ________ than before.
A. closer B. healthier
C. more relaxed D. more confident
33. What words can best describe the first Family Night?
A. Tiring but satisfying. B. Challenging but exciting.
C. Busy but interesting. D. Unsuccessful but meaningful.
34. It can be inferred that ________.
A. Dad seldom took business trips
B. the author enjoyed Family Night
C. Family Night would not continue
D. the children threw away the cellphones
【答案】31. A 32. A 33. D 34. B

A blog posted Dec 7, 2018 at 12:17 PM by Alanna Mallon
Alanna Mallon is a Cambridge City Councilor.
Each year in November, I receive a flurry of emails and texts from friends who want to volunteer with their families on Thanksgiving as a way to give back. I also field phone calls from organizations who want to donate to local programs that provide Thanksgiving meals.
However, as an official who still works in the nonprofit sector, I also feel deeply anxious because I know the other 51 weeks of the year, these critical programs that provide food access to residents in need are starving for both volunteers and donations. Hunger is a year round problem, and each week volunteers are the necessary part to ensure that programs are able to serve the community.
At Food For Free, we rely on about 100 volunteers per week, and each of those volunteers is extremely important to providing fresh, healthy food to people in the Greater Boston area who need it. School children who take backpacks of food home on Fridays, community college students who rely on our Family Meals program to thrive in class, elderly and disabled residents who receive twice monthly deliveries of food to their doors through our Home Delivery program, — they all rely on us ensuring enough volunteers show up to do the work.
These volunteers don’t show up in your social media feeds, they don’t win awards and no one writes about them in the local newspapers. But they are heroes. And you can be too.
If everyone made a promise to volunteer once a month, or even once a quarter, I know that we could reduce some of the anxiety these organizations feel, as a more reliable volunteer network allows them to focus on helping people, not filling volunteer slots.
Here is a list of a few organizations who are doing critical work in Cambridge to address food insecurity. Offer your time to an organization, they will be deeply grateful—and I am going to bet that you will feel pretty good about yourself too.
Food For Free: http://foodforfree.org/volunteer.
CEOC: http://ceoccambridge.org/food-pantry.
Harvard Square Homeless Shelter: https://hshshelter.org/volunteer.
Community Cooks: https://communitycooks.org/join-us.

35. What can be learnt from the first two paragraphs?
A. The food safety worries the author.
B. Volunteers are needed all year round.
C. Donations can be made through the Internet.
D. People like getting together on Thanksgiving.
36. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.
A. the need for fresh food B. the duty of Food For Free
C. the value of voluntary work D. the difficult life of local people
37. The passage is to ________.
A. call for action B. express thanks

Many of us listen to music while we work, thinking that it will help us to concentrate on the task at hand. And in fact, recent research has found that music can have beneficial effects on creativity. When it comes to other areas of performance, however, the impact of background music is more complicated.
The idea that listening to music when working is beneficial to output probably has its roots in the so-called “Mozart effect”. Put simply, this is the finding that spatial rotation performance(空间旋转能力) is increased immediately after listening to the music of Mozart, compared to no sound at all.
How sound affects performance has been the topic of research for over 40 years, and is observed through a phenomenon called the irrelevant sound effect. To study irrelevant sound effect, participants in the research are asked to complete a simple task which requires them to recall a series of numbers or letters in the exact order in which they saw them. The tricky thing is being able to do this while ignoring any background noise.
Two key characteristics of the irrelevant sound effect are required for its observation. First, the task must require the person to use their rehearsal abilities(复述能力), and second, the sound must contain acoustical variation(声学变化). Where the sound does not vary much acoustically, the performance of the task is much closer to that observed in quiet conditions.
The irrelevant sound effect itself comes from attempting to process two sources of ordered information at the same time—one from the task and one from the sound. Unfortunately, only the former is required to successfully perform the recall task, and the effort in ensuring that irrelevant order information from the sound is not processed actually hinders(阻碍) this ability.
A similar conflict is also seen when reading while in the presence of lyrical music. In this situation, the two sources of words—from the task and the sound—are in conflict. The cost is poorer performance of the task in the presence of music with lyrics.
What this all means is that whether having music playing in the background helps or hinders performance depends on the task and on the type of music, and only understanding this relationship will help people maximize their productivity levels.
38. “Mozart effect” is mentioned to ________.
A. explain how music can relax people
B. show music can improve performance
C. advise people to listen to Mozart music
D. stress Mozart music gains wide attention
39. It can be inferred that participants in the research ________.
A. have improved their rehearsal ability
B. perform better in the quiet conditions
C. ignore the background noise successfully
D. prefer the music with great sound variation
40. Paragraph 6 is written to ________.
A. support an idea B. make a contrast
C. introduce a topic D. describe a fact
41. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Music shapes your life
B. Music develops your creativity
C. Choose quiet music for your work
D. Does music make you concentrate?
【答案】38. B 39. B 40. A 41. D
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述的是“音乐在工作中的效应”。我们中的许多人在工作时听音乐,认为它会帮助我们集中精力完成手头的任务。事实上,最近的研究发现,音乐可以对创造力产生有益的影响。然而,当涉及到其他表演领域时,背景音乐的影响就更加复杂了。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句When it comes to other areas of performance, however, the impact of background music is more complicated.“然而,当涉及到其他表演领域时,背景音乐的影响就更加复杂了。”和第二段第一句The idea that listening to music when working is beneficial to output probably has its roots in the so-called “Mozart effect”.“工作时听音乐有利于产量的观点,可能根源于所谓的“莫扎特效应”。”可知,“莫扎特效应”是指音乐可以提高演奏水平。故选B。
【39题详解】

【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中A similar conflict is also seen when reading while in the presence of lyrical music. In this situation, the two sources of words—from the task and the sound—are in conflict.可知,第6段是为了支持一个观点而写的。故选A。
【41题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段What this all means is that whether having music playing in the background helps or hinders performance depends on the task and on the type of music, and only understanding this relationship will help people maximize their productivity levels.“这一切都意味着,在后台播放音乐是有助于还是阻碍表现取决于任务和音乐类型,只有理解这种关系才能帮助人们最大化他们的生产力水平。”可知,本文主题是D项“音乐能让你集中注意力吗?”
【点睛】推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上,做出一定的推理判断,从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话,也可能是某几句话,所以,推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案:即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含infer, suggest, imply, conclude ,indicate等标志性词语。 这种题型主要包括细节判断题、态度观点推断题、写作意图推断题、文章出处判断题和猜测想象推断题。本题第2小题,根据第四段最后一句Where the sound does not vary much acoustically, the performance of the task is much closer to that observed in quiet conditions.“在声音变化不大的情况下,任务的性能更接近于在安静条件下观察到的性能”。 可以推断,研究参与者在安静的环境中表现得更好。故选B。

According to official government figures, there are more than twice as many kangaroos as people in Australia, and many Australians consider them pests(有害动物). Landholding farmers say that the country’s estimated 50 million kangaroos damage their crops and compete with livestock for scarce resources. Australia’s insurance industry says that kangaroos are involved in more than 80 percent of the 20,000-plus vehicle-animal collisions reported each year. In the country’s underpopulated region, the common belief is that kangaroo numbers have swollen to “plague proportions.”
In the absence of traditional hunters, the thinking goes, killing kangaroos is critical to balancing the ecology and boosting the rural economy. A government-sanctioned(政府认可的) industry, based on the commercial harvest of kangaroo meat and hides, exported $29 million in products in 2017 and supports about 4,000 jobs. Today meat, hides, and leather from kangaroos have been exported to 56 countries. Global brands such as Nike, Puma, and Adidas buy strong, supple “k-leather” to make athletic gear. And kangaroo meat is finding its way into more and more grocery stores.
Advocates point out that low-fat, high-protein kangaroo meat comes from an animal more environmentally friendly than greenhouse gas-emitting sheep and cattle. John Kelly, former executive director of the Kangaroo Industry Association of Australia, says, “Harvesting our food and fibers from animals adapted to Australia’s fragile rangelands is extremely wise and sustainable. Many ecologists will tell you that there is no more humane way of producing red meat.”
Opponents(反对者) of the industry call the killing inhumane, unsustainable, and unnecessary. Population estimates are highly debatable, they say, but “plague proportions” are biologically implausible. Little kangaroos grow slowly, and many die, so kangaroo populations can expand by only 10 to 15 percent a year, and then only under the best of circumstances. Dwayne Bannon-Harrison, a member of the Yuin people of New South Wales, says the idea that kangaroos are destroying the country is laughable. “They’ve been walking this land a lot longer than people have,” he says. “How could something that’s been here for thousands of years be ‘destroying’ the country? I don’t understand the logic in that.”
Can Australians’ conflicting attitudes toward kangaroos be reconciled(和解)? George Wilson says that if kangaroos were privately owned, then graziers(放牧人)—working independently or through wildlife conservancies—would protect the animals, treating them as possessions. They could feed them, lease them, breed them and charge hunter a fee for access. “If you want to conserve something,” Wilson says, “you have to give it a value. Animals that are considered pests don’t have value.”
Privatization could also help reduce grazing pressures. If kangaroos were more valuable than cattle or sheep, farmers would keep less live-stock, which could be good for the environment. Under this scheme, landholders would work with the kangaroo industry on branding, marketing and quality control. The government’s role would be oversight and regulation.
42. What can be learnt from the first three paragraphs?
A. Kangaroo meat is healthier than other red meat.
B. Global brands make small profits on kangaroos.
C. Kangaroos are more friendly to the environment.
D. Overpopulated kangaroos have become a financial burden.
43. What does the underlined word “implausible” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Unreasonable. B. Immeasurable.
C. Unquestionable. D. Unchangeable.
44. Which of the following might be the benefit of privatization?
A. The popularity of kangaroo hunting.
B. The reduction in the number of kangaroos.
C. The establishment of more conservation areas.
D. The better management of the kangaroo industry.
45. The passage is written to ________.
A. argue against the killing of kangaroos
B. stress the importance of protecting kangaroos
C. present different opinions on the kangaroo industry
D. provide a solution to the problem caused by kangaroos
【答案】42. C 43. A 44. D 45. D
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是“如何解决袋鼠造成的问题”。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中第一句Advocates point out that low-fat, high-protein kangaroo meat comes from an animal more environmentally friendly than greenhouse gas-emitting sheep and cattle.“倡导人士指出,低脂肪、高蛋白袋鼠肉来自一种比排放温室气体的绵羊和牛更环保的动物。”可知,袋鼠对环境更友好。故选C。
【43题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段中Little kangaroos grow slowly, and many die, so kangaroo populations can expand by only 10 to 15 percent a year, and then only under the best of circumstances.“小袋鼠生长缓慢,很多会死亡,所以袋鼠的数量每年只能增长10%到15%,而且只有在最好的情况下才会增长。”可知,“人口估计非常有争议,但是“瘟疫比例”在生物学上是不可信的。”由此推知划线词的意思是“难以置信的”。故选A。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Privatization could also help reduce grazing pressures.“私有化也可以帮助减少放牧的压力。”和Under this scheme, landholders would work with the kangaroo industry on branding, marketing and quality control. The government’s role would be oversight and regulation.“根据这一计划,土地所有者将与袋鼠产业合作,在品牌、营销和质量控制方面进行合作。政府的作用将是监督和监管。”可知,更好地管理袋鼠产业可能是私有化的好处。故选D。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中Under this scheme, landholders would work with the kangaroo industry on branding, marketing and quality control. The government’s role would be oversight and regulation.“根据这一计划,土地所有者将与袋鼠产业合作,在品牌、营销和质量控制方面进行合作。政府的作用将是监督和监管。”可知,这篇文章是为解决袋鼠造成的问题而写的。故选D。

根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Empathy is the ability to imagine what it must be like in someone else’s situation. It is an essential part of what it means to be human, to the extent that we are suspicious of anyone who does not show empathy in their behavior.
___46___ We read novels, watch television and go to the theatre, and part of our enjoyment comes from understanding the dilemma faced by the characters because we know how we would feel if we were in the same situation.
___47___ One study has shown animals displaying empathy towards other animals and towards humans. Creatures from across the animal kingdom such as bees and whales, as well as domestic pets, display behavior that suggests they cooperate with and protect each other.
In another study, psychiatrist Jules Masserman and his team conducted an experiment with monkeys in which the monkeys pulled one of two chains that released food. One chain simply released the food, while another gave an electric shock to a second monkey. The first monkey stopped pulling the chain that delivered the shock. ____48____ This empathetic behavior was observed in a number of monkeys.
The origin of empathy is probably the need for the young of all animal species to be cared for. They communicate this requirement by crying for attention and to show pain. Both human and non-human young were more likely to survive if their parents reacted positively to their needs. People and animals alike are social beings and are more likely to work together. ____49____ If we help others, we are also helping ourselves and so empathy is sensible and realistic.
We don’t always display empathy, however. Just as animals react aggressively to unknown creatures from their own or other species, humans tend to regard people they don’t know with suspicion. ____50____ Our unwillingness to trust anyone unfamiliar is as natural to us as our empathy towards those we know and love.
A. To feel empathy is not restricted to real life.
B. You can empathize with someone without feeling sympathy for them.
C. This fear of strangers will, we believe, protect us from personal danger.
D. It seemed to be willing to go hungry rather than see a fellow animal suffer.
E. However, it seems that in fact empathy may not be a quality unique to humans.
F. Empathy plays a role in that as it allows us to understand our fellow humans better.
G. It’s certainly difficult to understand an animal’s intention behind an emphatic response.
【答案】46. A 47. E
48. D 49. F
50. C
【解析】

【答案】With the approach of Winter Olympics, more and more people begin to try winter sports. Last weekend, my classmates and I decided to enjoy the snowy fun. Absolutely delighted, we enrolled in a training class. Arriving at the ski resort, our trainer gave us specific instruction in safe and skillful skiing. He was so careful and helpful that it didn’t take long to get ourselves on the trail. At first, we were all scared to take the first step in our skis. When we saw others having so much fun, we set out. Although we had several falls, none of us gave up. With great efforts, we were able to keep balance and ski more confidently.
