American Express Gold: Best “non-travel” travel card
Why it’s great in one sentence: The American Express Gold card earns tons of valuable Amex travel points on practically all the food-related purchases you’re making even when you are not traveling, and the credits available on the card nearly offset (抵消) its annual fee.
This card is right for: People who can use all of the card’s various credits and who spend significant money at restaurants, on food delivery services or at U.S. supermarkets while they are not on the road.
Highlights:
First, with the Amex Gold, you’ll earn 4 points for every dollar you spend on restaurants worldwide, and on up to $25,000 in annual purchases at U.S. supermarkets (1 point per dollar afterwards). Most food delivery services count as “restaurants” on this card, so that means the vast majority of your food purchases will earn 4 points, regardless of how you’re eating.
You’ll also earn 3 points per dollar when you book airfare directly with an airline, so if you’re looking to jump on any sales for flights later in the year, you can pay for them with the Amex Gold and earn extra points on those as well.
The points earned on this card are American Express Membership Rewards points, which are extremely useful. You can redeem (兑取现金) them directly for flights via Amex Travel at 1 cent each, but if you put in some extra effort and research, you can potentially get much more value from them by transferring them to any of Amex’s 21 airline and hotel partners, which include Delta Air Lines, JetBlue, Marriott and many more.
1. What can we know about the American Express Gold card?
A. It requires no annual fee. B. It has a link with food purchases.
C. It is targeted at delivery services. D. It.is right for restaurant managers.
2. If you spend $ 25,800 annually at U.S. supermarkets, how many points will you earn?
A. 100,000. B. 100,800. C. 103,200. D. 400,000.
3. What can you do with these points on this card?
A. Change them into money to buy food.
B. Transfer guests from airlines to hotels.
C. Purchase services in suggested airlines.
D. Make some extra effort and do research.
【答案】1. B 2. B 3. C

Medha Gupta sometimes felt worried making the 20-minute walk from the corner where the school bus dropped her off to her home in Herndon, Va. — especially during the colder months in winter.
Her mother, Divya Gupta had a suggestion: write an app. She was half-kidding, but Medha took the challenge seriously. So she went to work.
The result was Safe Travel, an app designed by Medha to help walkers feel more secure when travelling alone. Using the iPhone, a person can program it to send a warning to someone he or she trusts if he or she fails to arrive at a destination within a certain time.
It was the first iOS app that Medha had created. While she didn’t think much would come from the project, her effort caught the eye of judges for the annual Congressional App Challenge, who selected her as the winner for Virginia’s 10th District.
The App Challenge is designed to encourage students to consider careers in science, technology, engineering, and math by experimenting with coding and computer science. Winning students are invited to attend a reception on Capitol Hill in April and also received $250 in Amazon Web Service credits.
Medha said it took her about 40 hours to design, program and test the app. As for her next app? Medha’s not certain. She temporarily has her app-development ambitions on hold because she’s busy teaching herself artificial intelligence to help deal with improper words on Facebook. Yes, she knows that there are teams of engineers probably doing the same thing. But she figures it can’t hurt her own part, too.
“If we see something wrong with the world, we should do something about it, ” she said. “After all, the only one stopping us from doing something is ourselves. ”
4. Why did Medha Gupta feel worried?
A. It took a long time to walk home.
B. It was colder than ever in winter.
C. It was unsafe to walk home alone.
D. It was difficult to write an app.
5. What is Medha’s attitude to her mother’s suggestion?
A. Curious. B. Sensitive. C. Uncertain. D. Optimistic.
6. What does the underlined phrase “on hold” in Paragraph 6 mean?
A. Delayed. B. Developed. C. Suspected. D. Satisfied.
7. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Medha registered for the App Challenge.
B. Medha designed Safe Travel successfully.
C. The App Challenge directs students to choose careers.
D. An app guides walkers home.
【答案】4 C 5. D 6. A 7. B
【解析】

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Medha Gupta sometimes felt worried making the 20-minute walk from the corner where the school bus dropped her off to her home in Herndon, Va. — especially during the colder months in winter. (Medha Gupta有时会担心从校车停在的街角走20分钟到她在赫恩登的家——尤其是在寒冷的冬天。)”以及第三段中“The result was Safe Travel, an app designed by Medha to help walkers feel more secure when travelling alone.(结果就是Medha设计的一款名为“安全旅行”的应用,它可以帮助行人在独自旅行时感到更安全。)”可知,Medha Gupta会感到担心是因为独自走回家不安全。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Her mother, Divya Gupta had a suggestion: write an app. She was half-kidding, but Medha didn’t take the challenge lightly. So she set out to work.(她的母亲Divya Gupta提出了一个建议:编写一个应用程序。但梅达认真对待这个挑战,但Medha并没有轻易接受这个挑战。于是她开始工作。)”可推知,Medha对母亲的建议持乐观态度。故选D。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“because she’s busy teaching herself artificial intelligence to help deal with improper words on Facebook.(因为她正忙着自学人工智能来帮助处理Facebook上的不当词汇。)”可知,Medha因为正忙着自学人工智能,帮助自己处理Facebook上的不当言论,所以让开发应用程序的雄心推迟了。划线词on hold意思是“推迟”。A. Delayed.推迟;B. Developed.发展;C. Suspected.怀疑;D. Satisfied.满足。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中“The result was Safe Travel, an app designed by Medha to help walkers feel more secure when travelling alone.(结果就是Medha设计的一款名为“安全旅行”的应用,它可以帮助行人在独自旅行时感到更安全) ”结合文章主要说明了Medha Gupta设计了一款名为“安全旅行”的应用,它可以帮助行人在独自旅行时感到更安全。这款应用参加了应用程序挑战赛并成为获胜者。可知,文章主旨是Medha成功设计了“安全旅行”。故选B。
C
The problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don’t know. By next year, half of the calls we receive will be scams(欺诈). We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late. By the time these “solutions”(解决方案) become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near future, it’s not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you’re hearing is actually real.
That’s because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation(处理) and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. At this year’s I/O Conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.
These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches(数据侵入) of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother’s name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller’s, tricking you into “confirming” your address, mother’s name, and card number. Scammers follow money, so companies will be the worst hit. A lot of business is still done over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.
We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by, or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications—using apps like FaceTime or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity.
Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to get harder from here on out.
8. How does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robocalls?
A. Panicked. B. Confused. C. Embarrassed. D. Disappointed.
9. Taking advantage of the new technologies, scammer can ________.
A. aim at victims precisely B. damage databases easily
C. start campaigns rapidly D. spread information widely
10. What does the passage imply?
A. Honesty is the best policy.
B. Technologies can be double-edged.
C. There are more solutions than problems.
D. Credibility holds the key to development.
11. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Where the Problem of Robocalls Is Rooted
B. Who Is to Blame for the Problem of Robocalls
C. Why Robocalls Are About to Get More Dangerous
D. How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of Technology
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章指出语音操作与自动化技术的出现使得机器人电话可以以假乱真,欺诈现象更加严重,解决这个问题需要电话运营商和消费者共同努力。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late. By the time these “solutions”(解决方案) become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means.可知,我们认识到了问题的严重性,支持和开发了旨在防止欺诈者通过的工具、应用程序和方法,。不幸的是,我们的努力太少了,也太晚了。在这些“解决方案”被广泛使用的时候,骗子将转移到更巧妙的手段上。由此推知,作者认为这些“解决办法”对于解决问题起不了什么作用,因此作者感到很“失望”。故D选项正确。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches(数据侵入) of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother’s name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller’s, tricking you into “confirming” your address, mother’s name, and card number.可知,机器人通话之所以令人头痛,与其说与数量有关,不如说与精确度有关。长达十年的个人信息泄露已经导致了这样一种情况:骗子可以轻易地知道你母亲的名字,甚至更多。有了这些知识,他们就能够开展有针对性的活动来欺骗人们。根据这些可知,利用这种新的技术,欺诈者们可以精确的确定他们行骗的目标。故A选项正确。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句At this year’s I/O Conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.可知,这项语音技术可以产生一个听起来和人类非常相似的声音,它可以和接待员进行交谈,进行预订。由此可知,这项新技术有其好的方面。根据第三段的叙述可知,欺诈者们可以利用这项新技术来进行欺诈行为。由此推知,这项新技术既可以发挥好的作用,也可能为坏人所利用,产生不好的影响,因此可以说它是一把双刃剑。故B选项正确。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段提到:robocalls(机器人电话:自动拨号播放录音信息的推销电话)在未来变得会越来越严重,不仅仅是出现在你的手机屏幕上的电话号码令人怀疑,而且你会质疑听到的声音是否是真的。第二段介绍原因:语音操作与自动化技术的出现使得机器人电话可以以假乱真。第三段介绍了语音操作和自动化技术发展会使得机器人电话产生的问题更加严重。最后两段提出我们该如何应对这些问题。综上,文章第一段点明文章中心:机器人电话问题在未来会变得越来越严重。下文都是围绕这一话题展开的。故C选项适合作标题。
D
When we’re busy doing things we love, we don’t think about how old we are or the state of our knees. But then something pulls us up short, like a polite young man offering his seat, or accompanying you to cross the road, and suddenly we’re walking more slowly, feeling just a little worse about life in general.
The way these internalized (内在化的) attitudes about aging affect us physically is a focus within a growing field in social psychology known as mind-body studies. In the next few months, the World Health Organization is expected to publish the results of a global investigation of ageism — discrimination toward the aged — that will address how to fight the prejudice. The report will also outline the various ways that ageist attitudes can affect the health and well-being of older people.
Psychologist Becca Levy is a contributor to the coming WHO report. She has spent her career linking negative aging attitudes to such measures as walking speed in older people, a greater likelihood of developing the brain changes of Alzheimer’s disease and even a reduction in life span. But it’s not all terrible. Levy, at the Yale School of Public Health, has also shown that something as simple as potential exposure to age-positive words can lead to physical improvements in older people of the sort. Those typically come about only after a program of regular exercise. If Levy and other scientists are correct, putting a more positive effect on our general view of aging might make a profound difference in the health of people over 65, the fastest-growing age group in America today. Some of the most surprising mind-body findings imply: A more positive attitude toward aging leads to improvements in older people’s memory, balance, speed and quality of life.
12. According to the passage, people will realize they’re at an advanced age when ______.
A. they are occupied with work B. their knees are easily hurt
C. someone helps them go across the street D. they offer seats to others
13. What can we know from the WHO report?
A. There is little prejudice to the elderly. B. Ageism may do physical and mental damage to the elderly.
C. People are supposed to fight against discrimination. D. Ageism is a main research field in social psychology.
14. What does Levy suggest people do?
A. Help the old to be more exposed to age-positive words. B. Communicate with the old using more complex words.
C. Help the old to take exercise regularly. D. Talk to the old more frequently.
15. What message is mainly conveyed in the passage?
A. Aging is an urgent problem to be solved around the world.
B. The internalized attitudes are determined by the aging process.
C. The senior citizens should live independently to slow aging.
D. Positive attitudes toward aging may pay off in older people’s health.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了对衰老持更积极的态度会改善老年人的记忆力、平衡性、速度和生活质量。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“When we’re busy doing things we love, we don’t think about how old we are or the state of our knees. But then something pulls us up short, like a polite young man offering his seat, or accompanying you to cross the road, and suddenly we’re walking more slowly, feeling just a little worse about life in general.(当我们忙着做自己喜欢的事情的时候,我们不会考虑自己的年龄和膝盖的状况。但突然有什么事让我们停下脚步,比如一个彬彬有礼的年轻人给我们让座,或者陪你过马路,突然我们走得更慢了,对生活的总体感觉有点糟糕。)”可知,我们只有别人在给我们让路、或者扶我过马路时才会觉得自己老了。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The report will also outline the various ways that ageist attitudes can affect the health and well-being of older people.(报告还将概述年龄歧视态度可能影响老年人健康和福祉的各种方式。)”可知,年龄歧视会影响老年人身心健康。故选B。

Eddie McKay, a once-forgotten pilot, is a subject of great interest to a group of history students in Canada.
It all started when Graham Broad, a professor at the University of Western Ontario, found McKay’s name in a footnote in a book about university history. McKay was included in a list of university alumni (校友) who had served during the First World War, but his name was unfamiliar to Broad, a specialist in military history. Out of curiosity, Broad spent hours at the local archives(档案馆) in a fruitless search for information on McKay. Tired and discouraged, he finally gave up. On his way out, Broad’s glance happened to fall on an exhibiting case showing some old newspapers. His eye was drawn to an old picture of a young man in a rugby uniform. As he read the words beside the picture, he experienced a thrilling realization. “After looking for him all day, there he was, staring up at me out of the exhibiting case,” said Broad. Excited by the find, Broad asked his students to continue his search. They combed old newspapers and other materials for clues. Gradually, a picture came into view.
Captain Alfred Edwin McKay joined the British Royal Flying Corps in 1916. He downed ten enemy planes, outlived his entire squadron (中队)as a WWI flyer, spent some time as a flying instructor in England, then returned to the front, where he was eventually shot down over Belgium and killed in December 1917. But there’s more to his story. “For a brief time in 1916 he was probably the most famous pilot in the world,” says Broad. “He was credited with downing Oswald Boelcke, the most famous German pilot at the time.” Yet, in a letter home, McKay refused to take credit, saying that Boelcke had actually crashed into another German plane.
McKay’s war records were destroyed during a World War II air bombing on London—an explanation for why he was all but forgotten.
But now, thanks to the efforts of Broad and his students, a marker in McKay’s memory was placed on the university grounds in November 2007. “I found my eyes filling with tears as I read the word ‘deceased’ (阵亡) next to his name,” said Corey Everrett, a student who found a picture of Mckay in his uniform. “This was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us, but instead of finishing his time at Western, he chose to fight and die for his country.”
16. What made Professor Broad continue his search for more information on McKay?
A. A uniform of McKay. B. A footnote about McKay.
C. A book on McKay. D. A picture of McKay.
17. What did the students find out about McKay?
A. He trained pilots for some time.
B. He lived longer than other pilots.
C. He died in the Second World War.
D. He was downed by the pilot Boelcke.
18. McKay’s flying documents were destroyed in .
A. Belgium B. Germany C. Canada D. England
19. We can learn from the last paragraph that McKay .
A. preferred fight to his study
B. went to war before graduation
C. left a picture for Corey Everrett
D. set an example for his fellow students
20. What is the text mainly about?
A. The research into war history.
B. The finding of a forgotten hero.
C. The pilots of the two world wars.
D. The importance of military studies.
【答案】16. D 17. A 18. D 19. B 20. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一位被遗忘的飞行员McKay。
【16题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“His eye was drawn to an old picture of a young man in a rugby uniform. As he read the words beside the picture, he experienced a thrilling realization. “After looking for him all day, there he was, staring up at me out of the exhibiting case,” said Broad. Excited by the find, Broad asked his students to continue his search. (他的目光被一张穿着橄榄球制服的年轻人的旧照片所吸引。当他读到图片旁边的文字时,他经历了一场激动人心的领悟。Broad说:“在找了他一整天之后,他就在那里,从展柜里盯着我”。Broad对这一发现感到兴奋,他要求他的学生继续他的搜索。)”可知,在看到McKay照片后,Broad继续了搜查McKay的信息,故选D。
【17题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“He downed ten enemy planes, outlived his entire squadron (中队)as a WWI flyer, spent some time as a flying instructor in England, then returned to the front, where he was eventually shot down over Belgium and killed in December 1917. (他击落了十架敌机,作为第一次世界大战的飞行者,他的整个中队都活了下来。在英国担任了一段时间的飞行教官,然后返回前线,最终在比利时上空被击落,并于1917年12月被杀。)”可知,学生们查明McKay在英国担任过飞行教官,故McKay曾指导过飞行员,故选A。
【18题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“McKay’s war records were destroyed during a World War II air bombing on London—an explanation for why he was all but forgotten. (McKay的战争记录在第二次世界大战对伦敦的一次空袭中被毁,这就解释了为什么他几乎被遗忘了。)”可知,McKay的飞行记录在英国伦敦被毁,故选D。

【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了独自一人在外吃饭的几点建议。
【21题详解】
根据下文“Hopefully, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the experience.”(希望你会对这次经历感到惊喜)可至此处鼓励读者尝试一下独自一人在外面吃饭,故C项(试一下,看看感觉如何)符合语境。
【22题详解】
根据上文“Just think of how many times you’ve passed a cafe and seen a solo diner reading their book and enjoying a lunchtime break!”(想想看,有多少次你路过一家咖啡馆,看到一个独自用餐的人在看书,享受惬意的午餐时间!)可知,独自一人在外吃饭很常见,how many times与选项中的much more common相对应,故D项(这比你想象的要普遍得多)符合语境。
【23题详解】
下文“Chew each bite thoroughly and think about the flavor profiles. Put your utensils down from time to time and look around or enjoy a sip of your drink.”(仔细咀嚼每一口,细细品味。不时放下餐具,环顾四周或啜饮一口)说明要慢慢品味美食,故E项(试着慢下来,专注于你的食物)符合语境。
【24题详解】
下文“You might feel like other people are looking at you or judging you”(你可能会觉得别人在看你或评判你)说明独自在外吃饭有时会引起紧张焦虑,且选项中的feelings of insecurity and anxiety与下文中的negative feelings一致,故G项(独自在外吃饭会引发不安全感和焦虑感)符合语境。
【25题详解】
下文“Stepping away from phone calls, texts, emails, and social media might be just the thing you need to unwind from a busy day. Doing away with your phone will help you be more present, enjoy yourself, and appreciate your meal.”(远离电话、短信、电子邮件和社交媒体可能正是你在忙碌的一天中需要放松的事情。收起你的手机会让你更现身,享受生活,享受美食)说明要收起手机,好好享受美食,故A项(把你的手机收起来)符合语境。

When we were kids, summer activities were a great escape. My only goal each day was to figure out the bigger thrill: hide-and-seek with my cousins, a ball game with my brother, or rereading detective stories for hours on end. Fun was the only endgame(最后阶段).
____26____ That comes with its own benefits. We can stay up as late as we’d like, go sailing on the sea or gather a group and go exploring islands. ____27____ However long ago it was, your next awesome fun day or week is on the way. Joy is the name of the game this Summer!
The first step towards having more fun with summer activities is setting aside time for it. ____28____ For example, turn off work email on Friday afternoon and leave it aside until Monday morning; say no to time-wasting requests.
Then be a tourist in your own town. When you live somewhere long enough, it stops being an interesting destination and becomes just the surrounding area. ____29____ Is it known for its museums, rivers or food? Take some time to tour some famous attractions.
Your interests have probably changed as you have got older, but that doesn’t mean what you did as a kid isn’t exciting. So invoke(唤起) your inner child. Head to the park and play a game of basketball with your cousins or take your dog to the park for a game of Frisbee. ____30____
Whatever you decide to do, make sure you enjoy yourself to the fullest because summer’s best days will be here and gone before you know it.
A. We are adults now or almost.
B. But that doesn’t mean it does no harm.
C. Treat your hometown like a new destination.
D. Carve out some quality time to do absolutely nothing.
E. Make weekends meaningful by setting good boundaries.
F. Borrow some baseball gloves and play catch with friends.
G. But when was the last time you actually did any of those things?
【答案】26. A 27. G 28. E 29. C 30. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。童年的夏天总是那么无拘无束,总有那么多趣事儿!长大后的我们拥有更多自由的同时,也失去了那份乐趣,何不像小时候那样尽情享受今年的夏天?本文作者告诉你这个夏天你该如何重拾快乐。
【26题详解】
根据第一段介绍了作者小时候的夏日活动和后文“That comes with its own benefits. We can stay up as late as we’d like, go sailing on the sea or gather a group and go exploring islands.(这有其自身的好处。我们可以想睡多晚就睡多晚,在海上航行或组团去探索岛屿。)”可知,此处谈论了一些不同于小时候的活动。故选项A“We are adults now or almost.(我们现在是成年人了,或者几乎是成年人了。)”符合上下文语境。故选A。
【27题详解】
根据后文“However long ago it was, your next awesome fun day or week is on the way. (不管这是很久以前的事了,你的下一个有趣的一天或一周即将到来。)”可知,此处内容会涉及时间及实际做法。所以选择项G“But when was the last time you actually did any of those things? (但你上次做这些事是什么时候?)”符合上下文语境。故选G。
【28题详解】
根据前文“The first step towards having more fun with summer activities is setting aside time for it.(要想在夏季活动中获得更多乐趣,第一步就是要留出时间。)”和后文列举的具体的做“For example, turn off work email on Friday afternoon and leave it aside until Monday morning; say no to time-wasting requests. (例如,在周五下午关掉工作邮件,把它放在一边,直到周一早上;对浪费时间的请求说不。)”可知,空处与预留时间有关,且能够统领下文提及的具体做法。所以选择项E“Make weekends meaningful by setting good boundaries. (设定好界限,让周末变得有意义。)”符合上下文语境。故选E。
【29题详解】
根据前文“When you live somewhere long enough, it stops being an interesting destination and becomes just the surrounding area.(当你在一个地方生活的时间足够长时,它就不再是一个有趣的目的地,而变成了周围的地区。)”可知,在一个地方生活久了,熟悉了,也就失去了探索的乐趣;再结合后文“Take some time to tour some famous attractions. (花点时间游览一些著名的景点。)”可知,此处建议花些时间去游览一些著名的景点。所以选择项C“Treat your hometown like a new destination. (把你的家乡当作一个新的目的地。)”符合上下文语境。故选C。
【30题详解】
根据前文“So invoke(唤起) your inner child. Head to the park and play a game of basketball with your cousins or take your dog to the park for a game of Frisbee. (所以唤醒你内心的童心吧。去公园和你的表亲们打篮球,或者带你的狗去公园玩飞盘)”可知,空处可能还是在说唤起童真的一些做法。所以选择项F“Borrow some baseball gloves and play catch with friends. (借一些棒球手套和朋友们一起玩接球。)”符合上下文语境。故选F。

No matter where you usually hear today’s top hits—the radio, Spotify, a mixtape on your Sony Walkman — you’ve probably noticed that they tend ___61___ (be) around three minutes long.
As VOX — a classic record company — explains, the custom ___62___ (date) back to the early 20th century, when shellac records (虫胶唱片) first appeared in the market. The rates at ___63___ these records spun (旋转) varied, but 78 RPM (每分钟转数) quickly became the norm. Two record sizes contributed to its ___64___ (popular): 10 inches — which could hold about three minutes of music per side—and 12 inches, which held ___65___ (rough) four to five minutes per side. To get radio stations to broadcast their music and get people to buy it, ___66___ (musician) pretty much had to accommodate those time limits.
The late 1940s ___67___ (see) the birth of the 45 RPM record: a smaller, cheaper disc that couldn’t manage much more ___68___ three minutes of music per side. Long-playing records (LPs) ___69___ (introduce) around the same time, but it was much easier for radio stations to play single tracks from 45 RPM record — which crowds of listeners then went out and bought. While 10-inch 78 RPM record had originated the three-minute trend, 45 RPM record really helped make ____70____ a necessity for radio singles throughout the mid-20th century.
【答案】61. to be
62. dates 63. which
64. popularity
65. roughly
66. musicians
67. saw 68. than
69. were introduced
70. it
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了歌曲时间通常在三分钟的原因,介绍了唱片的发展史。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:无论你通常在哪里听到今天的热门歌曲——收音机、Spotify、索尼随身听的混音带——你可能已经注意到它们的长度往往在三分钟左右。此处为短语tend to do sth.表示“往往……”。故填to be。
【62题详解】
考查时态。句意:正如一家经典唱片公司VOX所解释的那样,这种习俗可以追溯到20世纪初,当时虫胶唱片首次出现在市场上。陈述客观事实用一般现在时,主语为the custom,date无被动形式,谓语用第三人称单数形式。故填dates。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这些唱片的转速各不相同,但78每分钟转数很快成为了标准。此处为“介词+关系代词”结构定语从句修饰先行词rates,作介词at的宾语,指物,应用关系代词which。故填which。
【64题详解】
考查名词。句意:两种尺寸的唱片使它如此受欢迎:10英寸(每边可以容纳大约3分钟的音乐)和12英寸(每边可以容纳大约4到5分钟)。作宾语,表示“受欢迎”应用名词popularity。故填popularity。
【65题详解】
考查副词。句意:两种尺寸的唱片使它如此受欢迎:10英寸(每边可以容纳大约3分钟的音乐)和12英寸(每边可以容纳大约4到5分钟)。修饰动词hold应用副词roughly,作状语。故填roughly。
【66题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:为了让广播电台播放他们的音乐并吸引人们购买,音乐家们不得不适应这些时间限制。musician为可数名词,前文没有冠词,故用名词复数形式作主语。故填musicians。
【67题详解】
考查时态。句意:20世纪40年代末,45转每分钟的唱片诞生了:一种更小、更便宜的光盘,每面只能播放3分钟以上的音乐。描述过去发生的事情应用一般过去时。故填saw。
【68题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:20世纪40年代末,45转每分钟的唱片诞生了:一种更小、更便宜的光盘,每面只能播放3分钟以上的音乐。结合语境此处表示“超过”应用more than。故填than。
【69题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:长时间播放的唱片(LPs)大约在同一时期被引入,但广播电台播放每分钟45转的单曲要容易得多——听众成群地出去购买。主语Long-playing records与谓语introduce构成被动关系,结合后文but it was可知为一般过去时的被动语态,谓语用复数。故填were introduced。
【70题详解】
考查it用法。句意:虽然10英寸78转唱片是3分钟趋势的发端,但45转唱片确实使之成为整个20世纪中期电台单曲的必需品。此处为make it a necessity for表示“使之成为必需品”。故填it。
B

【75题详解】
