(51~53/共10题)PART Ⅴ READING COMPREHENSION SECTION A MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS

(1)When I was a young girl living in Ireland, I was always pleased when it rained, because that meant I could go treasure hunting. What´s the connection between a wet day and a search for buried treasure? Well, it´s quite simple. Ireland, as some of you may already know, is the home of Leprechauns—little men who possess magic powers and, perhaps more interestingly, pots of gold.

(2)Now, although Leprechauns are interesting characters, I have to admit that I was more interested in the stories of their treasure hoard. This, as all of Ireland knows, they hide at the end of the rainbow. Leprechauns can be fearsome folk but if you can discover the end of the rainbow, they have to unwillingly surrender their gold to you. So whenever it rained, I would look up in the sky and follow the curve of the rainbow to see where it ended. I never did unearth any treasure, but I did spend many happy, showery days dreaming of what I could do with the fortune if I found it.

(3)As I got older, and started working, rainy days came to be just another nuisance and my childhood dreams of finding treasure faded. But for some people the dream of striking it lucky

never fades, and for a fortunate few, the dream even comes true! Such is the case of Mel Fisher. His dream of finding treasure also began in childhood, while reading the great literature classics \"Treasure Island\" and \"Moby Dick\". However, unlike me, he chased his dream and in the end managed to become one of the most famous professional treasure hunters of all time, and for good reason. In 1985, he fished up the priceless cargo of the sunken Spanish ship Atocha, which netted him an incredible 400 million dollars!

(4)After the ship sank in 1622 off the coast of Florida, its murky waters became a treasure-trove(埋藏的宝藏)of precious stones, gold bars and silver coins known as \"pieces of eight\". The aptly-named Fisher, who ran a commercial salvaging operation, had been trying to locate the underwater treasure for over 16 years when he finally hit the jackpotl His dreams had come true but finding and keeping the treasure wasn´t all plain sailing. After battling with hostile conditions at sea, Fisher then had to battle in the courts. In fact, the State of Florida took Fisher to court over ownership of the find and the Federal government soon followed suit. After more than 200 hearings, Fisher agreed to donate 20% of his findings for public display, and so now there is a museum in Florida which displays hundreds of the objects which were salvaged from the Atocha.

(5)This true story seems like a modern-day fairytale: a man pursues his dream through hardship and in the end, he triumphs over the difficulties—they all live happily ever after, right? Well, not exactly. Archaeologists object to the fact that with commercial salvaging operations like Fisher´s, the objects are sold and dispersed, and UNESCO are also worried about protecting our underwater heritage from what it describes as \"pillaging\"(抢劫、掠夺).

(6)The counter-argument is that in professional, well-run operations such as Fisher´s, each piece is accurately and minutely recorded and that it is this information which is more important than the actual object, and that such operations help increase our wealth of archaeological knowledge. Indeed, as in Fisher´s case, they make history more accessible to people through museum donations and information on web sites.

(7)The distinction of whether these treasure hunters are salvaging or pillaging our underwater heritage may not be clear, but what is clear is that treasure hunting is not just innocent child´s play anymore but profitable big business. I have learnt that the end of the rainbow is beyond my reach, but in consolation, with just a click of the mouse, I too can have a share in the riches that the Atocha has revealed. As Friedrich Nietzsche so wisely said: \"Our treasure lies in the beehive of our knowledge. \"

第51题

In Para. 4, the phrase \"hit the jackpot\" means _____ according to the context. A.discovered the jackpot B.found the treasure

C.broke one of the objects D.ran a salvaging operation 第52题

It can be concluded from Paras. 5 and 6 that _____. A.People hold entirely different views on the issue B.UNESCO´s view is different from archaeologists´ C.all salvaging operations should be prohibited D.attention should be paid to the find´s educational value

第53题

How did the author feel about the treasure from the Atocha(Para. 7)? A.She was unconcerned about where the treasure came from.

B.She was sad that she was unable to discover and salvage treasure. C.She was angry that treasure hunters were pillaging heritage. D.She was glad that people can have a chance to see the treasure. 上一题下一题

(~56/共10题)PART Ⅴ READING COMPREHENSION SECTION A MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS

(1)Paul was dissatisfied with himself and with everything. The deepest of his love belonged to his mother. When he felt he had hurt her, or wounded his love for her, he could not bear it. Now it was spring and there was battle between him and Miriam, his girlfriend. This year he had a good deal against her. She was vaguely aware of it. The old feeling that she was to be sacrifice to this love, which she had had when she prayed, was mingled in all her emotions. She did not at the bottom believe she ever would have him. She did not believe in herself primarily: doubted whether she could ever be what he would demand of her. Certainly she never saw herself living happily through a lifetime with him. She saw tragedy, sorrow, and sacrifice ahead. And in sacrifice she was proud, in renunciation she was strong, for she did not trust herself to support everyday life. She was prepared for the big things and the deep things, like tragedy. It was the sufficiency of the small day-life she could not trust.

(2)The Easter holidays began happily. Paul was his own frank self. Yet she felt it would go wrong. On the Sunday afternoon she stood at her bedroom window, looking across at the oak-trees of the wood, in whose branches a twilight was tangled, below the bright sky of the afternoon. Grey-green rosettes of honeysuckle leaves hung before the window, some already, she fancied, showing bud. It was spring, which she loved and dreaded.

(3)Hearing the clack of the gate she stood in suspense. It was a bright grey day. Paul came into the yard with his bicycle, which glittered as he walked. Usually he rang his bell and laughed towards the house. Today he walked with shut lips and cold, cruel bearing, that had something of a slouch and a sneer in it. She knew him well by now, and could tell from keen-looking what was happening inside him. There was a cold correctness in the way he put his bicycle in its place, that made her heart sink.

(4)She came downstairs nervously. She was wearing a new net blouse that she thought became her. It had a high collar with a tiny ruff, making her, she thought, look wonderfully a woman, and dignified. At twenty she was full-breasted and luxuriously formed. Her face was still like a soft rich mask, unchangeable. But her eyes, once lifted, were wonderful. She was afraid of him. He would notice her new blouse.

(5)He, being in a hard, ironical mood, was entertaining the family to a description of a service given in the Primitive Methodist Chapel. He sat at the head of the table, his mobile face, with the eyes that could be so beautiful, shining with tenderness or dancing with laughter, now taking on one expression and then another, in imitation of various people he was mocking. His mockery always hurt her: it was too near the reality. He was too clever and cruel. She felt that when his

eyes were like this, hard with mocking hate, he would spare neither himself nor anybody else. But Miriam´s mother was wiping her eyes with laughter, and her father, just awake from his Sunday nap, was rubbing his head in amusement. The three brothers sat with ruffled, sleepy appearance in their shirt-sleeves, giving a guffaw from time to time. The whole family loved a \"take-off\" more than anything.

第题

It can be learned from the beginning that Miriam´s attitude towards love between her and Paul is_____.

A.indifferent B.desperate C.pessimistic D.ambiguous

第55题

The narration in Para 3 tells us that Miriam had all the following feelings EXCEPT _____. A.delight B.expectation C.uncertainty D.foreboding 第56题

Which of the following statements is CORRECT about the family´s response to Paul´s mockery? A.Only the parents found it entertaining. B.Every member except Miriam was amused. C.The brothers found it hard to appreciate. D.Miriam also thought it was amusing.

(57~60/共10题)PART Ⅴ READING COMPREHENSION SECTION A MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS

In this section there are three passages followed by ten multiple-choice questions.For each multiple-choice question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D.Choose the one that you think is the best answer and mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO. (1)I´ve written this article and you´re reading it. So we are members of the same club. We´re both literate—we can read and write. And we both probably feel that literacy is essential to our lives. But millions of people all over the world are illiterate. Even in industrialised Western countries, such as the UK and the USA, approximately 20% of the population have \"low literacy levels\". But what exactly does that mean?

(2)My parents both left school at 14. They could read and write, but except for a quick look at the daily newspaper, reading and writing didn´t play a big part in their lives. There were very few books in the house. My mother was amazed because the woman who lived next door always wrote a list of what she needed before she went to the supermarket. Why couldn´t she remember? We laughed about that for weeks. Our family didn´t write lists! And when I was only 14 years old my father gave me an important letter that he´d written to the bank and asked me to check it for grammar and spelling mistakes. And there were quite a lot. He never usually wrote letters or postcards or even Christmas cards. So when he had to write he wasn´t comfortable or confident. Does that mean that my father had a \"low level of literacy\"? I don´t think so.

(3)There are lots of different definitions of literacy. Some experts define it as having the reading and writing skills that you need to be independent in your everyday life. So, for example, if you can read instructions, write a cheque, fill in a form,—anything that you need to do in everyday life—then you are \"functionally literate\".

(4)Other people say that you are illiterate if you think that you are illiterate. In other words, if you feel that you can´t read or write as well as you would like to.

(5)If you live in a society where most people are literate, then you will feel ashamed or embarrassed and avoid situations in which you have to read or write. The father of a friend of mine finally admitted to his family that he couldn´t read when he was 45 years old. He bought the newspaper every day and pretended to read it—and believe it or not, his family had no idea. (6)We often forget that writing is a recent invention. Many years ago, the word \"literate\" meant being able to communicate well in speaking, in other words what we now call \"articulate\". Story telling was an important activity in the past and still is today in some societies. Reading was often a co-operative activity—someone would read aloud to a group, often from a religious text such as the Koran or the Bible.

(7)Only a hundred years ago, in the United States, you were considered to be literate if you could sign your name to a piece of paper. It was an important skill. You were not allowed to vote if you couldn´t sign the voting register, so literacy was connected with political rights, and many people were excluded from the democratic process.

(8)Nowadays we see reading and writing as being connected, but that wasn´t so in the past Many people could read, but not write. Writing was a skilled profession. If you needed something written then you paid an expert to write it for you.

(9)And of course, rich and important people have always employed people to write things for them. Important company bosses dictated letters to their secretaries or personal assistants. And now with new computer software you can dictate directly to your computer. (10)Being illiterate can have a big effect on people´s lives. For example, a study in the UK showed that people who write and spell badly are seen as careless, immature and unreliable, and often unintelligent. So it is more difficult for them to find jobs, even when reading and writing are not necessary for the work.

(11)World-wide statistics show that literacy problems are associated with poverty and a lack of political power. More women than men are illiterate. Illiterate people have worse health, bigger families and are more likely to go to prison. So literacy campaigns must be a good thing. But don´t forget that an illiterate person, or someone with a low level of literacy, isn´t necessarily stupid or ignorant, and may not be unhappy at all. Knowledge and wisdom isn´t only found in writing.

第57题

Why does the author give examples in Para. 2?

According to the author, the following are some of the defining features of literacy EXCEPT_____. A.psychological

B.functional C.social

D.independent 第59题

第60题

(1/1)PART Ⅵ WRITING 第66题

Read carefully the following excerpt and then write your response in NO LESS THAN 200 WORDS, in which you should:

1)summarize the main message of the excerpt, and then

2)comment on whether our brains will get lazy in a world run by intelligent machines You can support yourself with information from the excerpt.

Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result tit a loss of marks. Write your response on ANSWER SHEET THREE.

With intelligent machines to do the thinking, will our brains get lazy?

Changing technology stimulates the brain and increases intelligence. But that may only be true if the technology challenges us. In a world run by intelligent machines, our lives could get a lot simpler. Would that make us less intelligent?

Artificial intelligence is taking over many human jobs. For instance, planes are being flown much of the time by automatic pilots. And the complex problem of controlling air traffic around large modern airports is also achieved by artificial intelligence that operates well beyond the capability of mere human air traffic controllers.

Artificial intelligence is embedded in many features of modern life for the simple reason that intelligent machines can already outperform humans, including some aptitudes where there was once thought to be a human advantage, such as playing chess, and writing poetry, or even novels. As machines get smarter, they will do more of our thinking for us and make life easier. In the future, the electronic assistant will develop to the point that it serves similar functions as a real living butler, fulfilling requests such as: \"Organize a dinner parly for six on Thursday, Jeeves, and invite the usual guests.\"

At that point, our long struggle with challenging technologies is at an end. like Bertie Wooster, we can take it easy knowing that the hard work of planning and organizing is being done by a better brain—the electronic assistant. Starved of mental effort, our brains will regress. ___________________

Online Education

Good morning, everybody. In today´s lecture, we will talk about online education. You know in some parts of the world, it is not that easy for people to receive education. And even in the United States where education is available, it might not be within reach. Thus, online courses provided by those world famous universities can bring the best quality education to as many people as we could around the world, and for free. First, let´s talk a little bit about some of the components that go into online education. The first component is that when you move away from the constraints of a physical classroom and design content for an online format, you can break away from, for example, the one-hour lecture format. You can break up the material, for example, into short, modular units of 8 to 12 minutes, and each of the short unit introduces a coherent concept. Students can deal with this material in different ways, depending on their background, their skills or their interests. So, for example, some students might benefit from a little bit of preparatory material that other students might already have. Other students might be interested in a particular topic that they want to pursue

individually. So this format allows students to break away from the one-size-fits-all model of education, and allows students to follow a much more personalized curriculum.

Second, and perhaps one of the biggest components of our online education is that we need to have students who practice with the material in order to really understand it. There´s been a range of studies that demonstrate the importance of this. A study in Science last year, for example, demonstrates that even simple retrieval practice, where students are just supposed to repeat what they already learned gives considerably improved results on various achievement tests.

So we need to build in much more meaningful practice questions. Now, fortunately, technology has helped us to provide the students with feedback on those questions. We can now grade a range of interesting types of homework online.

The third component is what is called collaborative learning. Students could collaborate in different online courses in a variety of ways. First of all, there was a question and answer forum, where students could pose questions, and other students could answer these questions. And what is really amazing is that, because there were so many students, it means that even if a student posed a question at 3 o´clock in the morning, somewhere around the world, there would be somebody who was awake and working on the same problem, and he might answer that question. And so, in many of the online courses, the median response time for a question on the question and answer forum was 22 minutes.

So in a word, if we wanted to offer top quality education to everyone around the world for free, what would that affect us? Three things. First, it would establish education as a fundamental human right, where anyone around the world with the ability and the motivation could get the skills they need. Second, it would enable lifelong learning. It´s a shame that for so many of us, learning stops when we finish high school or when we finish college. By making this amazing content available, we would be able to learn something new every time we wanted, whether it´s just to expand our minds or it´s to change our lives. And finally, this would make a wave of innovation possible, because amazing talent can be found everywhere.

To sum up today, we have talked about some features of online education and its benefits. We are sure that online education will have a promising future. In the next lecture, we are going to learn how online education has changed people around the world.

M: Well, for years, people have been trying to keep up with the Joneses, but instead of competing with your neighbors, how about actually trying to get along with them? Joining us with some simple tips on how to deal with those likeable and not so likeable neighbors is Betty Wong: she is the Executive Editor of Family Circle magazine. Good morning, Betty. W: Good morning, Allen.

M: Well, in an ideal world, I guess we would all get along with our neighbors, wouldn´t we? W: Right, right. We hope so.

M: But how do we establish a good relationship? When you move into a neighborhood, right, should you reach out to the neighbors or should they be reaching out to you? W: I think it could work either way. I mean, certainly, if they don´t reach out to you, don´t assume that they are being rude or unfriendly. They just might be holding back because they think you are too busy. So if they don´t make that first step, you know, after a few days, go ahead and introduce yourself.

M: Yeah, neighbors can be really helpful, but of course they can also be annoying. For example, neighbors who make a lot of noise.

W: Well. Loud music is one of those top complaints, and I think you know for most reasons... people, they probably aren´t even aware that they are causing problems for their neighbors. And I think if you bring it up to your neighbors´ attention they will be more than happy to fix it. You could say something like, you know, I´m kind of, I´m really a light sleeper or I suffer from headache. Can you help me out by, you know, turning down the music during those evening hours or the early morning, or come up with a compromise that works for both of you. M: Don´t just call the police, right? Which a lot of people do. W: Of course, no.

M: Right, then what about a nosy neighbor.

W: Right, I think a lot of time as we may mistake nosy behavior for being, you know, nosy or poky when they are just being kind of trying to be friendly, or maybe that person´s lonely. It´s... You kind of have to see what the motive is there, and oftentimes, if you are little evasive, or, you just don´t answer their question, they often take the hint and back off. M: And the neighbor that comes to visit and won´t go away?

W: Well, I think, you know that, there might be somebody who is just really lonely and wants a friend. You know oftentimes I think the rule is a five or ten minute-visit, is fine. Because you know that way you are not imposing on that person´s schedule or that person´s plan. But you know, you don´t have to be best friends with your neighbor at all, you can just be polite, and say hello in the morning, and that makes everybody´s relationship so much better. M: Well, that´s important. Betty Wong, thanks so much for the tips we appreciate from Family

Circle magazine and for more on this topic and others, head to the Early Show website at CBSnews.com. 第16题

A.Hold a party at home. B.Introduce ourselves first. C.Avoid meeting them. D.Wait for them to visit us.

答案解析： [听力原文]What should we do if our neighbors didn´t reach out?

题目问如果邻居没有首先进行联络时，我们该如何做。对话中女士提到，如果邻居没有首先迈出第一步，那我们可以在数天后主动介绍自己。B项“先介绍自己”与录音相符，故选B，同时排除D项“等邻居来拜访我们”。录音中并未提到“开派对”和“避免跟他们见面”，可排除A、C。第17题

参： A 您的答案：未作答

答案解析： [听力原文]What should we do if we have a nosy neighbor?

_____ combination of techniques authors use, all stories—from the briefest anecdotes to the longest novels—have a plot A.Regarding B.Whatever C.In so far as D.No matter

参： B 您的答案：未作答

答案解析：逗号前提到“作者采用……技巧组合”，逗号后说“所有故事都有情节”，前者说的是差异，即作者可以采用不同的技巧组合，后者说共性：都有情节。因此，前后分句存在转折让步关系，B项Whatever“无论怎样的”符合要求，故选B。A项Regarding“就……而言”常用于引出讨论对象，空格后并未讨论“作者采用的技巧组合”，故排除。C项In so far as意为“到……的程度；在……的范围之内”，代入后句子意思不通顺，也可排除。D项No matter不会单独用来引导从句，需要与特殊疑问词连用，如no matter what等。上一题下一题

She followed the receptionist down a luxurious corridor to a closed door, _____ the woman gave a quick knock before opening it A.wherein B.on which C.but when D.then

参： B 您的答案：未作答

答案解析：分析句子结构可知，逗号后的从句为非性定语从句，修饰先行词a closed door，敲门的介词搭配为give a knock on a door，把on a door提前引导从句，将a door替换成which，就变成了on which，故选B。wherein相当于in which place，搭配的介词不对，可排除A。but连接表转折的并列句，前后分句之间意思不存在转折，且并列句不需要再加从句引导词when，故排除C。D项then不能连接并列句，若要选D。需要在then前加and，故排除D。

A.alleviate hostility

B.express unfavorable feelings C.indicate uncertainty D.make a suggestion

参： D 您的答案：未作答

答案解析：题干中的句子意为“如果我是你，我就不会等了，而是跟她求婚了。”，由此可见，“我”是建议“你”马上求婚，因此D项“提出建议”正确。A项意为“降低敌意”；B项意为“表达不快”；C项意为“表示不确定性”，这三项均不是虚拟语气的作用。

上一题下一题

Timothy Ray Brown, the first man cured of HIV, initially opted against the stem cell transplant that _____ history.

A.could have later made B.should have made later C.might make later D.would later make

参： D 您的答案：未作答

答案解析：本题考查时态和情态动词的用法。主句的谓语opted against用了一般过去时，而选项中都包含时间副词later“后来”，故判断此处应用过去将来时，D项的过去将来时符合此处的用法，故选D。could have done表示“过去本来能做某事却没有做”，should have done表示“过去本该做某事却没有做”一般不跟later连用，首先排除。根据常识，我们知道干细胞移植是有名的疗法，C项的might表示可能性很小，也不符合要求，可排除。上一题下一题

There are twenty sentences in this section.Beneath each sentence there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.Choose one word or phrase that best completes the sentence. 第28题

Some Martian rock structures look strikingly like structures on Earth that are known_____ by microbes.

A.having been created B.being created

C.to have been created D.to be created

参： C 您的答案：未作答

答案解析：空格所在的定语从句为“sth.be known to do”结构，因此排除A、B项。其次，that指代地球上的岩石结构，与created之间存在被动关系，故要用被动式，C、D都符合。最后，当不定式动作发生在谓语动词的动作之前时，不定式需要用完成式，本题中，在人们已知前，岩石结构已经由微生物创造成，即created动作先于are known发生，所以选择C项to have been created。上一题下一题

(9/20)PART Ⅲ LANGUAGE KNOWLEDGE

There are twenty sentences in this section.Beneath each sentence there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.Choose one word or phrase that best completes the sentence. 第29题

At that moment, with the crowd watching me, I was not afraid in the ordinary sense, as I_____ if I______alone.

A.would have been... had been B.should be... had been C.could be... were

D.might have been... were

参： A 您的答案：未作答

答案解析：本题考查虚拟条件句的用法，从主句部分的was not afraid的时态，可看出这是对过去的虚拟假设。as从句中alone与上文的with the crowd watching me“周围的人群看着我”相矛盾，因此这是对过去进行假设的非真实条件句，if从句谓语动词应用had done，而主句谓语动词应用would have done，A项符合要求。上一题下一题

(10/20)PART Ⅲ LANGUAGE KNOWLEDGE

There are twenty sentences in this section.Beneath each sentence there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.Choose one word or phrase that best completes the sentence. 第30题

You must fire _____ incompetent assistant of yours. A.the B.an C.that

D.whichever

参： C 您的答案：未作答

答案解析：本题考查双重属格所修饰名词的限定词。双重属格所修饰的名词可以跟this，that等指示限定词连用，表示爱憎褒贬等感情色彩，如this brilliant idea of David’s(大卫的这个聪明点子)，that notorious schemeof your colleague’s(你同事那臭名昭著的阴谋)，本题中must fire和incompetent表达了憎恶的情感，故选C项that。双重属格所修饰的名词前一般不带定冠词，因此不能选A项the；双重属格所修饰的名词前确实可带a，any，some等表示非确定特指的限定词，但不表达爱憎褒贬等色彩，如a daughter of Lucy’s(露西的一位女儿)，而本题题干中有must fire，incompetent这类表达憎恶色彩的词，故B不如C合适。双重属格所修饰的名词前一般也不带whichever，故排除D项。上一题下一题

D.characterizations

参： A 您的答案：未作答答案解析：本题题干中的by which指代“通过对话”，通过对话来展现的，当然应该是“人物角色”。A项characters“角色”符合语境，故选A。B项characteristics“(某物或某人易于识别的)特征”，代入后语义不通，可以排除。C项charisma“魅力”是不可数名词，没有复数形式，与下文的themselves相矛盾，也排除。D项characterizations表示“人物刻画”。对话展现的应是“人物角色”，而非“人物刻画”，故也排除D。上一题下一题

参： B 您的答案：未作答

答案解析：空格后的宾语为“焦虑和失眠”，选项中能够与之搭配的是B项relieve“减轻”，故答案为B。A项decline意为“衰退，下降”时，为不及物动词，后不带宾语；decline表示“拒绝”时，不跟“焦虑和失眠”搭配，可排除。C项quench一般接thirst和fire/flames作宾语，分别表示“止渴”和“灭火”，不跟“焦虑和失眠”搭配，也排除。D项suppress“；抑制感情，忍住”后不能接insomnia“失眠”作宾语，也排除。上一题下一题

答案解析：本题考查固定搭配。one’s mind’s eye表示“某人的脑海／回忆”，该短语通常跟介词in搭配，in one’smind´s eye意为“在某人的脑海／回忆中”，如I can see her clearly in my mind’s eye．(我能清楚想象出她的模样。)，故选B。A项vision“视觉”、C项view“视野，见解”和D项sight“视力”均不跟his mind’s连用，可排除。上一题下一题

Twelve pupils were killed and five _____ injured after gunmen attacked the school during lunchtime. A.critically B.enormously C.greatly D.hard

参： A 您的答案：未作答

答案解析：空格处填入副词，修饰injured。critically可跟injured搭配，表示“伤病严重的”，如Thirty peoplewere critically injured in a rail crash．(30个人在火车相撞事故中严重受伤。)，故选A。B项enormously表示“非常”，常用于修饰popular／successful／destructive等，一般不跟injured连用，可排除。C项greatly“很；非常”一般放在分词或动词前，能修饰injured，但是严重程度上不如critically，空格与killed并列，因此用critically更佳。hard作副词，意为“费力地，费劲地，用力地”，不修饰injured，故D可排除。上一题下一题

A 15-year-old girl has been arrested_____ accusations of using Instagram to anonymously threaten her high school. A.over B.with C.on D.for

参： C 您的答案：未作答

答案解析：本题考查arrest后的介词搭配。arrest常用的搭配有arrest sb．for sth．“逮捕某人因其做了某事”和arrest sb．on charges／accusations of doing sth.“逮捕某人因其受到做某事的指控”，如Her father wasarrested for fraud．(她父亲因诈骗被捕。)He was arrested on charges of supplying drugs．(他因受到提供毒品的指控被捕。)，据此可知C项正确。

It was reported that a 73-year-old man died on an Etihad flight_____to Germany from Abu Dhabi. A.bounded B.binded C.boundary D.bound

参： D 您的答案：未作答答案解析：从题干可知，空白处表示“由阿布扎比飞往德国的阿提哈德航班”，he bound to／for表示“意欲前往……”，如a plane bound for Somalia(一架开往索马里的飞机)，故选D。A项bounded表示“有界限的”，常用be bounded by“以……为界”，代入空格，句意不通，排除A。B项binded没有这个词，可排除。C项boundary为名词，意为“边界”，不能作后置定语修饰eight，也可排除。上一题下一题

(20/20)PART Ⅲ LANGUAGE KNOWLEDGE

参： B 您的答案：未作答

答案解析：本题考查近义词辨析。unchangeably“无法改变地”强调一点都不能改变；invariably表示“不变地，恒定地”强调某事一直发生或者情况一直如此，如The trains here are invariably punctual．(这儿的火车总是很准时。)unalterably也表示“不可能改变地”，如She judged him to be unalterably wicked．她断定他是本性难改地。immovably“坚定不移地，固定不动地”，比如Wilson declined their offer immovably．(威尔逊坚决地拒绝了他们的提议。)本题中说的是该地区情况一直如此，通过以上分析，可知B正确。上一题下一题

(51~53/共10题)PART Ⅴ READING COMPREHENSION SECTION A MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS

(3)As I got older, and started working, rainy days came to be just another nuisance and my childhood dreams of finding treasure faded. But for some people the dream of striking it lucky never fades, and for a fortunate few, the dream even comes true! Such is the case of Mel Fisher. His dream of finding treasure also began in childhood, while reading the great literature classics \"Treasure Island\" and \"Moby Dick\". However, unlike me, he chased his dream and in the end managed to become one of the most famous professional treasure hunters of all time, and for good reason. In 1985, he fished up the priceless cargo of the sunken Spanish ship Atocha, which netted him an incredible 400 million dollars!

(5)This true story seems like a modern-day fairytale: a man pursues his dream through hardship and in the end, he triumphs over the difficulties—they all live happily ever after, right?

Well, not exactly. Archaeologists object to the fact that with commercial salvaging operations like Fisher´s, the objects are sold and dispersed, and UNESCO are also worried about protecting our underwater heritage from what it describes as \"pillaging\"(抢劫、掠夺).

第51题

In Para. 4, the phrase \"hit the jackpot\" means _____ according to the context. A.discovered the jackpot B.found the treasure

C.broke one of the objects D.ran a salvaging operation

参： B 您的答案：未作答答案解析：根据题干直接定位到第4段。该段第1句谈到了沉入海底的巨大宝藏，比如宝石(precious stones)、金条(gold bars)等，第2句则说Fisher最终hit the jackpot。这个Fisher又是干什么的呢?第2句提到他是一个从事商业打捞的人。由此可判断Fisher应该是打捞到上句提及的宝藏了，故这里的hit the jackpot指的就是found the treasure，选B项。hit the jackpot是西方人常用的一个习语，意思是“中了头奖”，用在文章中，头奖当然就是宝藏了。第52题

答案解析：根据题干要求直接定位到第5、6段。在第6段最后一句，作者提到考古学家和UNESCO的看法，考古学家认为商业打捞行为使得宝物被出售和分散，UNESCO则认为这是一种“掠夺”行为。而紧接下来的第6段第1句就提到了相反的看法(counter-argument)。由此可以判断，人们的观点是截然相反的，因此选A项“人们对此问题持有完全相反的看法”。第53题

How did the author feel about the treasure from the Atocha(Para. 7)? A.She was unconcerned about where the treasure came from.

B.She was sad that she was unable to discover and salvage treasure. C.She was angry that treasure hunters were pillaging heritage. D.She was glad that people can have a chance to see the treasure.

参： D 您的答案：未作答

答案解析：根据题干的提示定位到第7段。题目询问的是作者对阿托查号的宝物有何感受。在第7段，作者采用了先抑后扬的写法，虽然说到寻宝是个巨大利润的生意，但就在第2句，她表明了自己的看法：欣慰的是，只要我点击鼠标，就能分享到阿托查号所展示的丰厚信息。由此可见，作者的感受是“欣慰的”，即“乐于见到的”，因此选择D项。上一题下一题

But Miriam´s mother was wiping her eyes with laughter, and her father, just awake from his Sunday nap, was rubbing his head in amusement. The three brothers sat with ruffled, sleepy appearance in their shirt-sleeves, giving a guffaw from time to time. The whole family loved a \"take-off\" more than anything.

第题

It can be learned from the beginning that Miriam´s attitude towards love between her and Paul is_____.

A.indifferent B.desperate C.pessimistic D.ambiguous

参： C 您的答案：未作答

答案解析：本题询问从短文开篇可知米丽娅姆对她与保罗之间的爱情持何种态度，短文第1段反复出现“牺牲”“悲剧”等字眼，而且米丽娅姆明确表示不敢设想与保罗过一辈子，所以她对他们之间的爱情并不看好，态度是悲观的，故答案为C。第55题

The narration in Para 3 tells us that Miriam had all the following feelings EXCEPT _____. A.delight B.expectation C.uncertainty D.foreboding

参： A 您的答案：未作答

答案解析：本题询问哪一项不是米丽娅姆的感受。根据题干定位到第3段，该段主要描述米丽娅姆沉重的心情和不安的感受，没有任何“欣喜”的表现，故答案为A。第56题

参： B 您的答案：未作答

答案解析：本题询问米丽娅姆一家人对保罗模仿嘲讽的反应。由文章最后一句可知，她的家人都被逗乐了，然而米丽娅姆本人并不欣赏，因为“他的嘲弄总是让她受伤”，故答案为B。

what exactly does that mean?

(4)Other people say that you are illiterate if you think that you are illiterate. In other words, if you feel that you can´t read or write as well as you would like to.

writing.

第57题

Why does the author give examples in Para. 2?

A.To show that literacy is interpreted in different ways. B.To show that Father was more literate than Mother. C.To indicate how important reading and writing are. D.To compare the level of literacy between neighbours. 参： A 您的答案：未作答答案解析：根据题干直接定位至第2段。题目问作者为何在第2段给了两个例子。本段中，作者首先介绍父母的情况：他们能够阅读和书写(They could read and write)，但仅限于快速浏览日报，在生活中，阅读和写作占的比重不大(reading and writing didn´t play a big part in their lives)。接着，作者列举他的父亲和母亲的例子。作者的母亲去超市购物不写购物清单(didn´t write lists)，作者的父亲写给银行的一封重要信件中，有很多语法和拼写错误。由这两个例子可以推出，作者认为有文化(literacy)可以有多种解读，即使会读会写，在日常生活中也可能不擅长运用书写的能力。故A项正确。第58题

According to the author, the following are some of the defining features of literacy EXCEPT_____. A.psychological B.functional C.social

D.independent

参： D 您的答案：未作答

答案解析：作者在第3、4、5段均讨论了关于有文化的不同定义。第3段中，专家认为，定义一个人是不是有文化，首先这个人在日常生活中必须是的个体(you need to be independent in your everyday life)，能够自己阅读说明书，写支票，填表格。此处是指个人必须是的，不依靠别人来完成读写的任务，而不是指有文化这件事本身的特点，所以D项independent是错误的解读。第59题

Which of the following statements about reading and writing is CORRECT? A.Reading and writing have always been regarded as equally difficult. B.People had to read and write well in order to be allowed to vote. C.Reading often requires more immediate interaction than writing. D.Reading and writing have always been viewed as being connected. 参： C 您的答案：未作答答案解析：第6段最后一句提到，阅读是一件具有合作性的活动，比如一个人可以对一群声读书，读一些从《古兰经》或者《圣经》选出的段落，因此可推测阅读比写作有更多的互动，故C项是正确选项。第60题

答案解析：根据题干指向最后两段，第10段中，没有文化对人们的生活有很大影响；第11段通过全球统计，论证文化程度与贫穷和政治权力之间的关系，没有文化的人健康状况更糟糕(worse health)，家庭人数更多，更有可能进监狱。因此最后两段是关于没有文化的影响以及产生的相关问题，故B项是正确选项。上一题下一题

(61~62/共5题)SECTION B SHORT-ANSWER QUESTIONS

In this section there are five short-answer questions based on the passages in Section A.Answer the questions with No more than TEN words in the space provided on ANSWER SHEET TWO.

第61题

What does This in Para. 2 refer to? ___________ 参： Treasure hoard

详细解答：根据题干定位到第2段。一般来说，指示代词所代表的内容，只要在邻近的上文中查找即可。第1句提到了作者对故事中的宝藏(treasure hoard)感兴趣。第2句紧接着提到了this一词。题目的难点其实在第2句的结构，采用了倒装句式，只要将句子还原，便一目了然：they hide this at the end of the rainbow，即是上一句提到的treasure hoard。第62题

Why did Fisher have to battle in the courts after he found the treasure(Para. 4)? ____________ 参： Because he was sued for ownership of the find．

详细解答：此题询问在Fisher找到宝藏后却要在法庭作战的原因。第4段第3句提到Fisher虽然美梦成真，可是也不是一帆风顺，他不仅要跟海上的恶劣环境作斗争，还要在法庭上战斗。随后第4句表明了原因，在宝物的拥有权方面。佛罗里达州将Fisher告上了法庭，后来联邦跟进了此案。因此Fisher不得不在法庭上作战的原因是在他发现的宝物的所有权上遭到了起诉．故填入Because he was sued for ownership of the find。上一题下一题

(63~65/共5题)SECTION B SHORT-ANSWER QUESTIONS

In this section there are five short-answer questions based on the passages in Section A.Answer the questions with No more than TEN words in the space provided on ANSWER SHEET TWO. 第63题

Why did Miriam wear a new net blouse on Sunday afternoon? ___________ 参： Because she thought it made her wonderful and dignified．

详细解答：该题询问米丽娅姆为何穿上新的罩衫。根据题目的“new net blouse”定位至第4段，从该段2句可以看出米丽娅姆选择穿这件衣服，是因为她认为穿上好看且高雅，故可填入Because she thought it made her wonderfuland dignified。第题

What is the meaning of the sentence \"... he would spare neither himself nor anybody else\" in Para. 5? _____________

参： With hate in eyes，he would mock anybody．

详细解答：本题考查对短文句子的理解。根据上文可知，他模仿嘲讽的“表演”是内心恨意的外在表现，米丽娅姆认为此时的保罗眼睛里带着恨意，而当他眼睛里带着恨意时，他会极尽嘲讽模仿，不放过任何人。故可填入With hate ineyes，he would mock anybody。第65题

Explain the meaning of the last sentence of Para. 11 according to the context. _____________

参： Illiterate people can also be knowledgeable and wise．详细解答：根据题目定位到第11段。第11段指出没有文化的人可能健康状况更糟糕，家庭人数更多，更有可能进监狱，但是没有文化不代表愚蠢、无知，也不一定不快乐，由此可推断这句是说，没文化的人也可能有见识和有智慧，故答案为Illiterate people can also be knowledgeable and wise。上一题下一题

(1/1)PART Ⅵ WRITING 第66题

Read carefully the following excerpt and then write your response in NO LESS THAN 200 WORDS, in which you should:

1)summarize the main message of the excerpt, and then

2)comment on whether our brains will get lazy in a world run by intelligent machines You can support yourself with information from the excerpt.

With intelligent machines to do the thinking, will our brains get lazy?

参： [参考范文] Artificial Intelligence Won´t Make Our Brains Lazy

Great achievements have been made in the field of artificial intelligence and artificial intelligence is taking over many human jobs. Some predicts that our brains will regress as artificial intelligence can plan and organize for us. In my view, even though intelligent machines are getting better and smarter, our world won´t be like some science-fiction scenes where human brains are inferior.

First, interactions between human beings can never be replaced by machines. Though the electronic assistants can plan and organize a dinner party for us, it is beyond their abilities to communicate and interact with guests like us. It is unlikely for intelligent machines to develop

human-like social competence which consumes a lot of brain work. Second, artificial intelligence, no matter how superior, needs us as much as we need them. The computer-based artificial intelligence has to depend on humans for maintenance to ensure its survival. It requires our supplies and repairs, thus our brains are going to keep pace with the artificial intelligence.

In conclusion, the concern about whether artificial intelligence will make our brains lazy is caused by an overestimate of the impact of technology on human beings and a lack of vision about human intelligence. After all, human brains will also evolve as the development of artificial intelligence.

详细解答：考生在下笔前应先审题，明确写作要求：本题的主旨是讨论智能机器是否会使人的大脑变得懒惰，首先应当根据题目要求概括材料内容，再给出自己的观点，文章结构可安排如下：
