D)Hippocrates,aGreekphysicianonceexpressedtheideathat"personswhoarenaturallyveryfatareapttodieearlierthanthosewhoareslender"almost20centuriesago.Wehavetoadmitthatthisviewisalsoatruthevennowadays.Infact,obesitydoeshaveagreatinfluenceonpeople'sphysical,psychologicalandsocialwell-being.Itcanincreasethepossibilitythatsomeonedevelopsmatureonsetdiabetes(alsocalled"diabetesmellitustype2").What'sworse,itmaybeverydifficulttocontrolthetype2diabetesifthepersonisobese.Andlosingweightcanimprovethelevelsofbloodfatsandbloodglucoseandreducebloodpressure.Wealsoknowthatobesityhascloseassociationwithcoronaryheartdisease.

9.Accordingtothepassage,whichisnotthereasonthatthemandoesn'twantapet?
答案:D)Hedoesn'twanttowalkthem.
點睛解析:從對話中可知,男士覺得養寵物花費時間和金錢,以及不希望將寵物鎖在家裏,但是並沒有提到不願意遛寵物,因此答案選D。
10.Whatdoesthewomenadvisethemantodowhenthemanisout?
答案:C)Askhisneighbororfriendforhelp.

M:Isee.Thankyouverymuch.Bye.
W:Bye.
12.WhenisChristmasDay?
答案:C)NextTuesday.
點睛解析:從文中對話ThedayaftertomorrowisChristmasDay.和It'sSundaytodayandwecloseat22:20.可知,聖誕節是後天,而今天是星期天,所以答案為C。
13.WhendoestherestaurantcloseonChristmasDay?
答案:A)21:30.
點睛解析:此題與第一題相關,聖誕節是周二,而從對話ThedayaftertomorrowisChristmasDay,andwillyoupushtheclosingtime?和No,sir.Itwillkeepsameasusual.可知,聖誕當天營業時間並沒有改變。pushtheclosingtime意為“推遲關門時間”。答案應該是A。
14.Whatkindoftabledoesthemanwantthisevening?
答案:A)Atablebythewindowinsmoking.
點睛解析:服務生的回答中已經做了總結we'llreverseatablefor2bythewindowinsmokingat20:30thisevening,正確答案為A。
15.Whatdoesthewaitresssuggestthemando?
答案:C)Arrivebefore20:45.
點睛解析:此題比較隱晦,對話中並沒有直接用suggest或advise等單詞。服務員說Wewillholdthetableforfifteenminutes.“我們會保留桌位15分鐘。”而預定時間是20:30,所以客人應在20:45之前到達。

16.Whatdowelearnaboutsmallbusinesses?
答案:B)Theyhavedevelopedfromtraditionalstorestosophisticatedenterprises.
點睛解析:本題考查關於smallbusinesses的說法,聽力原文中提到Smallbusinesseshavedevelopedfromtraditionalsmall-townstoressellingfoodorclothingtohighlysophisticatedenterprises.對應B選項的說法,其餘各選項與原文不符,所以選B。
17.Whatarethebenefitsofsmallbusinesses?
答案:A)Theycanproduceimportantproductsandcreatejobs.
點睛解析:本題考查的是smallbusinesses的好處,聽力原文中提到Theyhavenotonlyproducedimportantproductsbutalsocreatednumerousjobopportunitiesforpeople.對應A選項,其餘各項與原文不符,所以選A。
18.Whichoneiscorrectaboutthebusinessplan?

19.WhatdoesthespeakersayabouttheCariboogoldrush?
答案:B)ThecauseofitisthatgoldwasdiscoveredinQuesnelForks.
點睛解析:本題考查的是關於Cariboogoldrush的情況,聽力原文中第一句提到theCariboogoldrushintheyearof1858,因此排除A選項;由withtheexpectationofmakingamillion得知,人們來此地是為了賺大錢,因此排除C選項;D選項錯誤,聽力中提到駱駝是在Californiagoldrush,而不是在Cariboogoldrush中發揮了重要作用。所以該題選B。
20.Whatnewapproachdidthemerchantstaketoshipsupplies?
答案:B)Aherdofcamels.
點睛解析:聽力原文中提到somemerchantsandpackersdeterminedtotryanewapproach...theyshippedinaherdofcamels,對應B選項,A和C並未提及,D不是新方案,所以選B。
21.WhatdowelearnaboutthecameltrainsinCaribooregion?
答案:C)Theyweren'tsuitedforCariboo'smountainterrain.
點睛解析:本題考查的是Cariboo地區駝隊的情況,聽力原文中提到...whiletheywerenotsuitablefortheruggedmountainterraininCariboo.由此可知駝隊不適應Cariboo的山區地形,其餘各項不符,所以選C。

22.Whichstatementisnotrightabouttheroad?
答案:C)Theroad'snewbuildingandmendingismakingthingsworse.
點睛解析:此題要注意隱藏的陷阱。文中只提到theroas'mendingcausedbyoveruseismakingthingsworse,而newbuilding並不是使情況更糟的原因。答案為C項。
23.Whatdosociologistsblameforsortsofsocialissues?
答案:A)Itsunreasonableconstruction.
點睛解析:由Lotsofsociologistsblametheunreasonableroadconstructionforsortsofsocialissues,可知,原因是道路的不合理規劃。B、C、D項正是目前道路問題的具體體現。
24.Whatisthethemetobediscussedtoday?
答案:B)Thetrafficproblemsbyroadandsolutions.
點睛解析:根據原文let'sfocusourattentiononthetheme—thetrafficdefectsofroaddevelopmentandimprovingsolutions可知今天的主題是道路引起的交通問題和解決方案。A、C、D項文中雖然有提到,但並不是要討論的主題。
25.Whatdowelearnabouttheretailstore'scurrentsituation?
答案:A)Itwasdesertedbutrebornnow.
點睛解析:由Peopleprefertogotothelargesupermarketsfarawayinsteadofthesmallretailstoresclose.和thenear-homeretailstoresgettheirrebirth可知,人們曾經更喜歡去大超市,放棄小商店。而現在情況有所好轉,說明人們又重新轉向小商店,因此D項錯誤,A項正確。而B、C項文中並沒有提到。
PartIIIReadingComprehension
SectionA
26.答案:B)Occupying
點睛解析:occupy意為“佔據,佔有”。occupy在本句中作為狀語使用,需要根據主語是此動作的執行者還是承受者來確定主動還是被動。theMediterranean明顯是occupy的執行者,要用主動形式。
27.答案:J)contamination
點睛解析:此處需要名詞。由上下文可知,此處需要與pollution有關的名詞,contamination意為“污染物”,故為答案。而pollution本身並沒有“污染物”的意思。
28.答案:O)contribute
點睛解析:此處需要動詞的第三人稱複數形式,作句子的謂語。只有O項可選。contributeto...詞組意為“是……的原因,促成……”,符合文意。
29.答案:K)nurtured
點睛解析:根據空缺處之前be動詞were以及之後介詞by判斷,本句是被動句,此處應填入動詞的過去分詞形式。nurture意為“養育”,equip意為“裝備”,create意為“創造”,聯繫上下文,nurture更符合要求。而originate應與介詞from搭配使用。
30.答案:M)threatens
點睛解析:此處需要動詞的第三人稱單數形式,可選的兩個詞中threatens意為“威脅,恐嚇”,而floods意為“湧入”,threatens符合要求。
31.答案:F)floods
點睛解析:同上。floodinto...為固定用法,表示“湧入……”。
32.答案:D)surprisingly
點睛解析:此處需要填入的是一個副詞,只有surprisingly可選。notsurprisingly意為“不足為奇”。
33.答案:E)awash
點睛解析:此處考查的是短語的用法,beawashwith...“充斥着……”,是固定短語用法。
34.答案:N)risky
點睛解析:此處考查的是短語的用法,it'sriskytodosth“做某事是有風險的”,是固定短語用法。
35.答案:A)equipped
點睛解析:此處考查的是短語的用法,beequippedwith...“裝備有……”,是固定短語用法。

點睛解析:此處是對文章細節的考查。根據關鍵詞globalupsurgeinobesityespeciallyinchildren,pushdowneconomics等可定位至L段的第一句。

點睛解析:此處是對文段的歸納總結。根據關鍵詞BMI,isrecommended,heightandweight等可定位至B段,而且constitution也與該段落中的physique對應。

點睛解析:此處是對文章細節的考查。根據關鍵詞overweight,reproductiveorgans,women可定位至E段的最後一句。
40.答案:H
點睛解析:此處是對文章細節的考查。根據關鍵詞non-overweightwoman,smokes20cigarettes,biologicalage可定位至H段的第四句。
41.答案:I
點睛解析:此處是對文章細節的考查。根據關鍵詞freeradicals,excessbodyfat,triggerinflammation等可定位至I段中倒數第二句。
42.答案:C
點睛解析:此處是對文章細節的考查。根據關鍵詞factorssuchasgender,ageandethicline可定位至C段,而且shortcoming與該段第三句中的defect對應,neglect與該段第一句中的doesn'ttake...intoaccount相對應。
43.答案:K

點睛解析:此處是對文章細節的考查。根據關鍵詞middle-aged,riskofdementia可以定位至J段中的第一句。
SectionC
PassageOne
46.答案:C)Thingsthatwillbringthemafeelingofsuccess.
點睛解析:B和D項,作者在第二段落的開頭就已經直接否定。A項和C項看起來都很像正確答案。根據原句Withoutrewards,babieswillstilllearncertainbehaviorsforsuccessfuloutcome.和butthesuccessachievedintheproblemsolvingandskillmastering可以看出,答案為C。
47.答案:D)wouldcontinuethesimplemovementswithoutbeinggivenmilk
點睛解析:文中提到Hefoundthatababygivenenoughmilkwouldrefusethemilk,butwouldstillkeepmakingthelearnedresponseswithclearpleasure.“當給予一個嬰兒足夠的牛奶后,他會拒絕接受更多的牛奶,但仍然會很愉快地繼續做出學到的動作。”排除選項B和C。Soinsituationsofnomilk...followingadisplayoflights.可以進一步排除選項A。所以選D。
48.答案:D)Tobepraised.
點睛解析:此題可參考第46題,直接排除選項B。選項A和C,是做實驗時進行的引導訓練性動作,明顯不對。D“被表揚”是答案。
49.答案:D)theysucceededin"switchingon"thelights
點睛解析:同上,可參考第46題,直接排除選項A,正確答案為D。再次強調要注意關鍵詞success。此外題干主語是thebabies,要從babies的角度來考量此題。這也是"switchingon"加雙引號的原因,他們“以為”是自己成功“打開”燈。選項B文中並沒有提到,選項C也明顯不對。
50.答案:A)abasichumandesiretomakesenseofandcontroltheworld
點睛解析:此題答案即可從原文Andthereexistsahumaninstinctiveurgetounderstandtheworldandbringitundercontrolintentionallyaswell.直接得知。makesenseof...意為“弄懂……,搞清……”。
PassageTwo
51.答案:B)TheEuropeanRenaissanceasaculturaldevelopmentthatincludedchangesinmusicalstyle.
點睛解析:本題為主旨題,文章主要講述了歐洲文藝復興時期音樂上的變化,從第二段開始過渡到了這一主題上來,到文章末尾落腳點也是圍繞該時期的音樂進行分析,所以選B。
52.答案:D)Otherhistoriansusedtheword"Renaissance"beforeitwasfinallyusedbymusichistorians.
點睛解析:本題考查的是結合語境分析詞義,eventually一詞的意思是“最後”,分析得知"historiansofculture","arthistorians"和"musichistorians"是按先後順序給出的,所以選D。
53.答案:A)culturalemphasisonhumanity
點睛解析:文章第一段中指出,AtthattimescholarsandartistsintendedtorestoretheclassicalcivilizationsofGreeceandRome,whichmeantareturntohuman.由此可知,他們追求的是重新重視人本身的價值,B選項不符合原文中的enjoyingthepleasuresofsenses,C並不是追求的內容,D選項文中並未提到,所以選A。
54.答案:C)itcouldnotgetemotionalresponsesfromaudiences.
點睛解析:文章第二段中指出Theyexperiencedthemysticalpowerofancientmusicwhichcouldtouchthelistenersdeeplyandwonderedwhythemodernmusiccouldn'tachievethiseffect.由此可知古希臘、古羅馬的音樂能深深打動聽眾,而他所處時期的音樂卻達不到這種效果,由此可知C選項正確。
55.答案:C)Musicneverremainedthesameforalongtimeduringthatperiod.
點睛解析:文章最後一段中的最後一句話指出,這一時期的音樂經歷了快速的發展變化,並沒有形成單一特有的風格,只有C選項符合,所以選C。
