48.考查名词词义辨析。句意:市场营销活动是否抓住了你公司的精髓,或者说,这个人是否能与团队中的其他人很好地合作?A.attention注意;B.opportunity机会;C.status地位;D.essence精髓。由本段第一句“Yet instinct also has its place.”可知讲述了本能也站一席之地的;下句“In__9_customer-service situations, intuition is often a better guide to how to behave than a script.”提到了直觉通常是更好的行为指南,推知本句“Does a marketing campaign capture the _8_ of your company, say, or would this person work well with other people in a team?”表达的意思营销活动是否让你公司直接并精确受益,即是否抓住你公司的精髓,完全依靠经过深思熟虑的营销政策能否解决问题?或者说筛选出来的人是否能与团队中其他人合作?这些都意在表明有些时候直觉还是能被利用上的,深思熟虑后制定的政策并不适用于一切场合,本句与本段第一句主旨相符,故推知空处表示“精髓”;故选D项。
49.考查形容词词义辨析。句意:在棘手的客户服务情况下,直觉往往是比脚本更好的行为指南。A.rough粗糙的;B.tough棘手的;C.nervous神经紧张的;D.neutral中立的。由本句“In__9_customer-service situations, intuition is often a better guide to how to behave than a script.”可知提到直觉是更好的行为指南,这是在某种情况下,推知如果在简单容易的客户服务里,就按照制定好的策略执行就行了,但是在棘手的情况下,那直觉发挥的作用就比制定好的脚本更适用了,故推知空处表示的是“棘手的”,用tough;故选B项。
50.考查动词词义辨析。句意:直觉也可以得到改善。A.improved改善;B. copied复制;C.transferred转移;D.weakened变弱。由下文“Plenty of research has shown that intuition becomes more unfailing with experience.”可知大量的研究表明,直觉在经验的帮助下变得更加可靠,因为文章前面段落一直在强调很多情况下深思熟虑取代本能直觉,肯定是凭借直觉判断有很大不足才会被深思熟虑所取代,而本处提到了直觉在经验的帮助下会变更可靠,这个就是直觉的一个改善,故空处表示“改善”;故选A项。
51.考查动词词义辨析。句意:在2012年进行的一个著名的实验中,志愿者被要求评估一些名牌手袋是假的还是真的。A.ensure确保;B.extinguish扑灭;C.clarify阐明;D.assess评定,评估。由本句“whether a selection of designer handbags were fake or real”可知提到了一些名牌手提袋的真假;下文“Intuition worked better for those who owned at least three designer handbags;”对于那些至少拥有三个名牌手袋的人来说,直觉更有效,可推知本处是让他们评定这些手提袋的真假,拥有至少三个手提袋的人的直觉会更准,这个就是经验使直觉更可靠;故选D项。
52.考查动词词义辨析。句意:事实上,它的表现比分析更好。A. undertook承担;B.outperformed比……表现更好;C.facilitated促进;D.paralleled与……平行。由上句“Intuition worked better for those who owned at least three designer handbags”可知对于那些至少拥有三个名牌手袋的人来说,直觉更有效,即直觉比理性分析更有效,故“it__12_analysis.”表述的是它比分析表现更好;故选B项。
53.考查副词词义辨析。句意:然而,信奉快速思维的真正原因是,它确实很快。A.Likewise同样地;B.However然而;C.Consequently因此;D.Moreover此外。由上句“The more expert you become, the better your instincts tend to be.”可知提到越专业的话直觉就越精确,那么精确度是我们应该信奉快速思维的原因吗?下文给出答案“_13__ , the real reason to embrace fast thinking is that it is, well, fast.”即信奉快速思维的真正原因是它很快,故推知空处表示“然而”,意在表明虽然直觉有时候精确,然而我们信奉它的真正原因是因为它快;故选B项。
54.考查不定代词词义辨析。句意:工作场所只不过是一连串的选择,有大有小:什么是优先处理的,什么时候介入,在电梯里避开谁,现在,每天在哪里工作。A.anything任何事物;B.something某事;C.nothing没有什么;D.everything每一事物。nothing but是固定搭配,译为“只不过是……”,符合题意;故选C项。
55.考查动词词义辨析。句意:工作场所只不过是一连串的选择,有大有小:什么是优先处理的,什么时候介入,在电梯里避开谁,现在,每天在哪里工作。A. cooperate合作;B.prioritize优先处理;C.convince使信服;D.strive奋斗。由本句“The workplace is___but a succession of choices, a few big and many small: what to __15_ , when to intervene, whom to avoid in the lifts and, now, where to work each day.”可知讲到了职场是一连串的选择,有大有小,既然有这么多选择,那么总要有先后处理的顺序,故推知空处表示“优先处理”,与后面句子构成排比,即什么是优先处理的,什么时候介入,在电梯里避开谁等等;故选B项。

【答案】56.A 57.A 58.C 59.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍魅力型领导的相关信息。
56.词句猜测题。根据第一段的“Personality may play only a small part in leadership effectiveness, but there is no doubt that some leaders have a certain magic that leaves peers envious and followers entranced.(个性在领导效率中可能只起很小的作用,但毫无疑问,一些领导者具有某种魔力,让同事羡慕不已,让追随者着迷。)”和“this leadership X-factor(这种领导力的X因素)”可知,charisma指的是一种让追随者着迷的东西,即“魅力”,和charm意思相近,故选A。
57.细节理解题。根据第四段的“And they are great role models because they have the ability to engage others socially and display appropriate role-playing skills that allow them to walk the talk(他们是很好的榜样,因为他们有能力与他人交往,并展示出适当的角色扮演技能,使他们能够言行一致)”可知,有魅力的领导者成为伟大的榜样,是因为他们的适当的角色扮演技巧,故选A。
58.细节理解题。根据第五段的“One quality we like in our leaders is if they are seen to really represent us. We think someone is more charismatic, the more they represent our collective identity(我们喜欢领导人的一个品质是,他们是否被视为真正代表了我们。我们认为一个人越有魅力,他就越能代表我们的集体身份)”可知,根据Professor Knippenberg的观点,代表我们的集体身份的领导人会受到我们的欢迎,故选C。
59.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“A lot of charismatic leadership, and leadership in general, is very contextual. It’s really good in entrepreneurial firms.

【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍Lively Flip这款手机的特点,服务和费用等。
60.细节理解题。根据EASY TO USE中的“Today, cell phones are hard to hear, difficult to dial and overloaded with features you may never use. That’s not the case with the Lively Flip. A large screen and big buttons make it easy to call family and friends, and the powerful speaker ensures every conversation is loud and clear. (如今,手机听起来很难听,很难拨号,而且功能繁多,你可能永远都用不到。但Lively Flip的情况并非如此。大屏幕和大按钮让打电话给家人和朋友很容易,强大的扬声器确保每一次对话都是响亮和清晰的)”可知A项(它摒弃了不必要的功能)、B项(它保证了每次通话的高质量)是Lively Flip的特点,再根据文章中的“The Lively Flip is one of the most affordable cell phones on the market and comes with reliable nationwide coverage. You can even keep your current landline or cell phone number. (Lively Flip是市场上最实惠的手机之一,具有可靠的全国覆盖。你甚至可以保留你现在的座机或手机号码)”可知C选项(它不需要更改电话号码)也是Lively Flip的特点,D选项“它使用户可以随时呼叫医生寻求帮助”文章没有提到,故选D。
61.推理判断题。根据EASY TO USE中的“Today, cell phones are hard to hear, difficult to dial and overloaded with features you may never use. That’s not the case with the Lively Flip. A large screen and big buttons make it easy to call family and friends, and the powerful speaker ensures every conversation is loud and clear. (如今,手机听起来很难听,很难拨号,而且功能繁多,你可能永远都用不到。但Lively Flip的情况并非如此。大屏幕和大按钮让打电话给家人和朋友很容易,强大的扬声器确保每一次对话都是响亮和清晰的)”可知Lively Flip手机打电话操作方便,声音质量好,所以推断它特别适合不熟悉数字技术的老年人,故选C。
62.细节理解题。根据EASY TO BE PREPARED部分“Life has a way of being unpredictable, but you can be prepared in an uncertain or unsafe situation with Urgent Response Service. Simply press the Urgent Response button to speak with a highly trained Agent who can confirm your location, evaluate your situation and get you the help you need, 24/7.(做好准备生活有一种不可预测的方式,但您可以通过紧急响应服务在不确定或不安全的情况下做好准备。只需按下紧急响应按钮,即可与训练有素的代理人交谈,该代理人可以确认您的位置,评估您的情况,并为您提供所需的帮助,全天候)”可知,紧急响应按钮的设计是Lively Flip独有的。故选B。
【答案】63.A 64.D 65.A 66.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了随着人工智能产品在扮演人类角色方面不断进步,人们越来越担心对面正和自己交流是否是机器人,因为人们有自己的偏见,不信任机器人,即使实验证明机器人是有好的合作能力的。
63.词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“The researchers used an Al algorithm (算法)that, when posing as a person, implemented a strategy that was better than people are at getting human partners to cooperate. But previous work suggested people tend to disbelieve machines, so the scientists wondered what would happen if the robot revealed itself as such.(研究人员使用了一种人工智能算法,当假扮成一个人的时候,实施了一种比人类更善于让人类伙伴合作的策略。但是之前的研究表明人们倾向于不相信机器,所以科学家们想知道如果机器人真的这样暴露出来会发生什么)”可知提到了人们不相信机器,即使机器人的策略比人类本身的策略更容易让合作伙伴合作;根据文章第三段““ No matter what the algorithm did, people just stuck to their prejudice.” A robot playing openly as a robot was less likely to get cooperation than another human, even though its strategy was clearly more beneficial to both players.(“不管算法做了什么,人们只是坚持自己的偏见。”一个公开扮演机器人的机器人比人类更不可能获得合作,尽管它的策略显然对双方都更有利)”可知无论怎样做,人们就是不相信机器人,如果被告知是机器人的话,他们更不会选择机器人合作了,综上所述,推知“But the truth may make such products less effective: recent research finds a trade-off between transparency (透明度)and cooperation in human-computer interactions.(但事实可能会降低这类产品的效率:最近的研究发现,在人机交流中,透明度和合作之间存在权衡)”表述的是人们在与机器交流中,应该存在透明度和合作之间的平衡,否则,一旦人们知道对面是机器人在和他们交流,他们根本不会相信机器人,那必然会导致机器人的效率低了,所以在透明度和合作之间要有平衡,故推知“trade-off ”意思的“平衡”;故选A项。
64.推理判断题。根据文第二段“But previous work suggested people tend to disbelieve machines, so the scientists wondered what would happen if the robot revealed itself as such.(但是之前的研究表明人们倾向于不相信机器,所以科学家们想知道如果机器人真的这样暴露出来会发生什么)”和文章第三段“The team hoped people playing with a known robot would recognize its ability to cooperate (without being a pushover) and would eventually get past their disbelief. “Sadly, we failed at this goal,”(研究小组希望人们在与一个已知的机器人玩时能够认识到它的合作能力(而不是一个容易被打败的机器人) ,并最终克服他们的怀疑。“遗憾的是,我们失败了”)”可知研究表明人类不相信机器人,而科学家希望人类能认识到机器人的合作能力而最终战胜对它们的怀疑,但是失败了,推知人类对机器人的态度就是抱有怀疑的;故选D项。
65.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“But previous work suggested people tend to disbelieve machines, so the scientists wondered what would happen if the robot revealed itself as such.(但是之前的研究表明人们倾向于不相信机器,所以科学家们想知道如果机器人真的这样暴露出来会发生什么)”可知研究表明人类不相信机器,而科学家们想知道如果机器人真的暴露出来,会生什么;根据文章第三段““ No matter what the algorithm did, people just stuck to their prejudice.” A robot playing openly as a robot was less likely to get cooperation than another human, even though its strategy was clearly more beneficial to both players.(“不管算法做了什么,人们只是坚持自己的偏见。”一个公开扮演机器人的机器人比人类更不可能获得合作,尽管它的策略显然对双方都更有利。”)”可知不管怎样做,人们就是不相信机器人,如果人们被告知是机器人,更不可能去跟它们合作。由此推知,实验结果不支持科学家们的假设,故选A项。
66.推理判断题。根据文章第四段“praises the researchers for exploring the transparency-efficacy trade-off, but she would like to see it tested beyond the paper’s particular setup.(赞扬了研究人员探索透明度与效率之间的平衡,,但她希望看到它在论文的特殊设置之外进行测试)”可知Dignum对于此项研究是赞同的,而且希望去除实验特殊设置;根据文章最后一段“The authors say that in the public field, people should be asked for agreement to be deceived about a robot’s identity. It cannot be on an interaction-by interaction basis, or else the “deception” obviously will not work. But blanket permission for occasional deception, even if it can be obtained, still raises ethical quandaries (道德困境). Dignum says humans should have the option to know after they have interacted with a robot -but if she is calling customer service with a simple question, she adds, “I just want to get my answer.”(作者说,在公共领域,应该要求人们同意被欺骗的机器人的身份。它不能建立在互动的基础上,否则“欺骗”显然不会起作用。但是,即使能够获得对偶尔欺骗行为的全面许可,仍然会引发道德上的两难困境。Dignum说,人类在与机器人交流之后应该有权知道答案,但是如果她打电话给客服只是为了问一个简单的问题,她补充说,“我只是想得到我的答案)”可知此项研究论文的作者认为不应该事先告知人们机器人的身份,而Dignum对于这个研究是赞扬的,即对论文的作者的观点是不排斥的,并且认为可以去除实验中的设置来验证这个现象,而且Dignum认为人们在与机器交流后应该有权知道答案,而没有提及事先告知人们机器人的身份,故推知Dignum认同人们不需要被告知他们在任何场合都在与机器人互动这样的观点;故选C项。
Section C
【答案】67.D 68.C 69.A 70.F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究成果:在未来15年里,给农场动物使用抗生素的数量预计将增加三分之二,在引起美国民众强烈关注的同时也引发一系列的后果。
67.根据空前“The researchers warn the drugs could quicken the development of antibiotics-resistant infections.(研究人员警告说,这些药物可能会加速耐抗生素感染的发展。)”可知,此处强调的是耐抗生素感染是在不断加速发展的,后文应该强调该发展带来的结果。D选项“Such infections are already a major public health concern in the United States.(这种感染在美国已经是一个主要的公共卫生问题。)”中的Such infections指代前文的antibiotics-resistant infections,形成呼应。故选D。
68.根据前文“Experts say when people stop living in poverty, the first thing they want to do is eat better. (专家表示,当人们不再生活在贫困中,他们想做的第一件事就是吃得更好。)”可知,此处强调当人们生活变好的时候,人们想的第一件事情就是吃得更好。后文指出具体的表现。C选项“For most people, that means eating more meat.(对大多数人来说,这意味着要吃更多的肉。)”可知,人们吃更多的肉是生活变好的体现。故选C。
69.根据空前的“Doctors find that antibiotics that once worked against the infections no longer do.(医生们发现,曾经对感染有效的抗生素不再有效。)”可知,此处强调曾经对感染有效的抗生素不再有效。后文应该解释其原因。A选项“The bacteria have learned ways to fight the medicine.(细菌已经学会了对抗药物的方法。)”呼应前文。故选A。
70.根据前文的“ At least 23,000 die from an infection.(至少2.3万人死于感染。)”以及后文“The developing world doesn’t have to make all the same mistakes (发展中国家不必犯同样的错误。)”可知,发展中国家是可以不必犯发达国家所犯的同样的错误。即F选项“But Dr. Hansen says it does not have to be that way.(但汉森博士表示,情况并不一定是这样。)”中的that way指代的是前文的“至少2.3万人死于感染”情况以及后文中“发达国家所犯的同样的错误”形成呼应,符合句意。故选F。
IV.Summary Writing
【答案】(1)Online selling brings extra income but requires careful preparations. First, choose a credible platform with a wider customer base and insurance, and lower the price until you’ve established a fine reputation. Even if you cannot afford the prepaid fee of a platform, make sure transactions take place safely. It’s also essential to provide honest item descriptions and protect personal privacy. (60)
(2) Several things about selling online are worth noting. Firstly, proper platforms ensure customers and insurance, though an upfront fee and a good reputation are required. Secondly, always keep safety in mind, meet buyers in public and keep the product until you receive the payment. Thirdly, avoid inaccurate product description and revealing your full name. Be careful when you sell online.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了在网上销售自己不需要东西的时候应注意的一些问题及销售方法。
【详解】1. 要点摘录
①Selling your stuff online does not only help to declutter(清理) your home and get rid of things you don’t need, but it can also be a great source of income.
②One thing you need to consider carefully is the platform on which you are going to advertise.
③Most big players in the field are so popular with sellers, not just because they can give you access to a bigger pool of potential customers, but also because they offer insurance both to the seller and the buyer, which gives both buyers and sellers more confidence.
④The downside, however, is that you will generally need to pay an upfront fee(预付费) for using the platform, and may also have to sacrifice a cut of your profit to the company.
⑤What’s more, you need to build up a reputation before buyers can trust you-which means you might have to settle for lower prices until you have a high rating.
⑥A few more things to keep in mind: always be accurate with your descriptions of the items you are selling, especially if advertising on a big platform.
⑦Don’t give out your full name, either- keep your last name private. Identity theft might be rare in such transactions, but it’s always better to be careful.
2. 缜密深思
把要点1重组;要点2、3、4整合;要点6和要点7重组,整合。
3. 遣词造句

V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。)
72.【答案】No one is in the dormitory with the door wide open, and what if a thief comes in?
【详解】考查what if的句型。根据句意可知,本句表示的是说现在的状况,所以时态用一般现在时;表示“宿舍里空无一人”用no one is in the dormitory;表示“门户大开”用with的复合结构with the door wide open,作状语;表示“如果……怎么办?”用句式what if ...;表示“贼进来了”用 a thief comes in,结合汉语,故翻译为:No one is in the dormitory with the door wide open, and what if a thief comes in?
73.【答案】During the warm days of spring when flowers blossom, people often travel outside and enjoy the beauty of spring.
【详解】考查定语从句。分析句意可知,此处描述的是心在的客观情况,全句使用一般现在时态,表示“在春暖的日子里”为介词短语作状语,应译为during the warm days of spring,during位于句首,首字母需大写,“花开的”作定语修饰“日子”应为定语从句,从句中不缺少主语,开花“blossom”为不及物,从句中不需要宾语,所以使用关系副词when,所以定语从句译为when flowers blossom,所以前半句译为“During the warm days of spring when flowers blossom”;表示“人们经常出去游玩”译为people often travel outside,“欣赏春天的美景”与“出去游玩”并列,应译为“enjoy the beauty of spring”,使用and将并列部分连接,所以后半句译为people often travel outside and enjoy the beauty of spring。故翻译为During the warm days of spring when flowers blossom, people often travel outside and enjoy the beauty of spring.
74.【答案】It’s so cold outside and if I could have a bowl of hot soup cooked by my mum right now, it would sure lift my mood immediately.
【详解】考查if引导的虚拟语气。分析所给中文提示词,“外面天气真冷”可译为“It’s so cold outside”,“要是现在能喝到一碗老妈煮的热汤,一定能立即提升我的心情。”根据句意可知,是对现在的一种假设,应该用if引导的虚拟语气,主句用主语+would/should/might/could+动词原形,从句用动词过去式,所以从句译为“if I could have a bowl of hot soup cooked by my mum right now”和前句是并列关系,中间用and连接,主句部分,根据题干要求“一定”需用副词“sure”,故译为“it would sure lift my mood immediately”。故译为:It’s so cold outside and if I could have a bowl of hot soup cooked by my mum right now, it would sure
lift my mood immediately.
75.【答案】Despite misfortunes, the artist devotes himself to studying rather than complaining about heaven and earth, and has made remarkable achievements in the field of painting.
【详解】考查介词、名词、动词短语和时态。表示“虽然”应用介词despite;表示“不幸”应用名词misfortune;表示“怨天怨地”短语为complain about heaven and earth;表示“而是”应用短语rather than;表示“潜心”应用短语devote oneself to,此处应用一般现在时态;表示“成绩斐然”应用短语make remarkable achievements,此处应用现在完成时,强调影响或结果。故翻译为:Despite misfortunes, the artist devotes himself to studying rather than complaining about heaven and earth, and has made remarkable achievements in the field of painting.

When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where 1 want to go. That is an important fact for me. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast when they can,but in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams.In this respect,Tokyo is not different from London,Paris or New York.It is different when one wants to walk.
At certain times of the day there may be a lot of people on foot in London's Oxford Street or near the big shops and stores in other great cities. But the streets near the Ginza in Tokyo are always full of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk.
The worst time to be in the street is at 11:30at night.That is when the nightclubs are closing and everybody wants to go home. There are about 35,000 nightclubs in Tokyo,and you don't often see one that is empty. Between 11 p.m. and 12 a.m. everybody is looking for a taxi.Usually the taxi is shared by four or five people who live in the same part of the city.
(Now listen again, please!)
Questions:
11. For the speaker, what is the important fact about Tokyo?
12. For the speaker, when is the worst time to be in the street?
13. How many nightclubs are there in Tokyo?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
An underground room containing 1.5 tons of ancient coins,including some 2,000-year-old ones, has been discovered by a villager in Changzi County,north China's Shanxi Province
The man in Qianwanhu Village discovered the underground room with some 10,000 coins, ranging from 3 cm to 1 cm in diameter, on August 23 when he was digging a channel to place pipes for tap water,said Li Lin, an official of the Changzi Centre of Cultural Heritage and Tourism
Most of the coins were made during the Northern Song Dynasty with the rest made during Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty
Archaeologists said the coins were there for the following reasons:the coins were someone's private wealth; or they were buried by ancient Chinese private banks during the war;or they belonged to rich people who buried them during war but had forgotten them
The coins have been sent to local cultural relics authorities.
(Now listen again, please!)
Questions
14. Where were the coins found?
15. When did the man discover the underground room?
16. How many reasons were mentioned for the coins to be there?
Questions 17 and 18 are based on the following conversation
W:Daniel, did you have a dream when you were a little boy?
M:Of course I did. I dreamed to be a pilot when I grow up.But unfortunately,I didn't realize it. And Mary
how about you?
W:I had the same experience with you.When I was a little girl,I dreamed to be a great scientist. But now you
