2.Whichisrightaccordingtothespeaker?

答案:C)Decaffeinatedcoffeealsoprotectspeoplefromheartdisease.

點睛解析:聽力中提到每天三到五杯咖啡會幫助預防疾病,並不是說越多咖啡越長壽,選項A錯誤;聽力中說含咖啡因和不含咖啡因的咖啡都能預防疾病,所以對健康有益的並不只有咖啡因,還有咖啡豆中的混合物,選項B和D錯誤,正確答案是C。

29.答案:B)attributed

點睛解析:此處缺少謂語動詞,且應為過去時態的及物動詞。符合要求的有B、C、D、O四項,需根據詞義選擇符合的一項。attribute表示“歸屬,歸因於”的意思,用法attributesthto...表示“把某事歸因於……”,符合句意,正確答案是B。

SectionB

點睛解析:此處是對文章細節的考查。根據關鍵詞super-Earth和solarsystem可定位至E段最後一句。

37.答案:D

點睛解析:此處是對文章細節的歸納總結。根據關鍵詞Hubble'sview和explore可定位至D段的第一句和第二句,explore對應probe。

38.答案:K

點睛解析:此處是對文章細節的考查。根據關鍵詞Clouds,colder和highlyreflective可定位至K段的最後一句。

39.答案:A

點睛解析:此處是對文章細節的考查。根據關鍵詞GJ1214b和size可定位至A段的第一句。

40.答案:F

SectionC

PassageOne

46.答案:C)Spendingmorethanninehoursonadigitaldeviceperdaycouldhurtthehealthofeyesseriously.

點睛解析:第一段落的意思是“接近1/4的千禧代和1/3的X代人,每天至少花費九小時在數字設備上;如果你是其中一種,那麼你很可能正在把你的眼睛健康置於嚴重危險中”。比例的大小並不能說明千禧代比X代有眼睛健康危險的可能性低,也不能說明有眼睛健康危險的人數更少,更不能說明,這兩個年代以外的人都沒有眼睛健康危險,選項A、B、D錯誤。每天花費在數字設備上的時間超過九小時會嚴重傷害眼睛健康,選項C正確。

47.答案:A)Gazingataglowingdisplayforalongtime.

點睛解析:此題問的是造成數字視疲勞的主要原因,關鍵詞在primary。第三段落正是解釋了幾個原因,第一句中crux一詞表示“關鍵,核心”,與primary一詞意思相近,可知正確答案為長時間凝視發光顯示器,即選項A。

48.答案:D)Angryeyesandblurryvision.

點睛解析:第四段落分析了digitaleyestrain的幾種癥狀,一一對照即可得知哪種說法是錯誤的。要注意,此處watery並不表示“水汪汪”,而是“流淚”的意思,irritated也並不表示“惱怒”,而是“不適,刺激”的意思,所以正確答案為D。

49.答案:B)Havingafrequentbreakfromyourdisplay.

點睛解析:此題問的是如何避免數字視疲勞。第五段落和第六段落給出了方法。第五段落第一句話即給出了最簡單的方法:經常從電腦屏幕上移開視線休息一會。此處break表示“休息”的意思,選項B正確。選項A,弄壞電腦屏幕的說法明顯錯誤;選項C,正確說法是每20分鐘,向20英尺外看20秒鐘,並不是在20秒鐘內步行20英尺;從文中可知,能避免數字視疲勞的方法是每小時休息五分鐘,設置鬧鐘是為了提醒自己這樣休息,而設置鬧鐘本身並不是避免視力疲勞的方法,選項D錯誤。

50.答案:B)Toavoiddigitaleyestrain,weshouldstepawayfromthescreenasmuchaswecould.

點睛解析:選項B是對第五段落的總結,即要避免數字視疲勞,要盡我們所能地多多遠離屏幕。選項A的信息出現在第三段落的最後一句,注意原文中並沒有提到damage是irrecoverable的,選項A錯誤;選項C和D的信息都出現在最後一段,根據原文,周圍的光線和屏幕的亮度對視力疲勞會有影響,應使他們保持一致,選項C錯誤原文中關於眼鏡鏡片的說法,只是說能help,並沒有說能cure,屬於偷換概念,選項D錯誤。

PassageTwo

51.答案:D)Ourbodylanguagewilltellourrealemotion.

點睛解析:題干中已經明確此題的出題點在第二段落。第一句即表明,識別謊言,不僅僅要聽人們說什麼,也要看做什麼,選項A、B錯誤;接下來,研究指出,在所有文化中,人們有七種相同的面部表情,而不是面部特徵,選項C錯誤;最後一句表明,即使我們想要隱藏一種情感時,這種感情也會通過我們的面部或肢體語言表現出來,選項D正確。

52.答案:A)Theyhaveaninstinctskilltoreadpeople.

點睛解析:此題的出題點在elementaryagekids。第三段落一開始即說明小學齡孩子天生就有讀懂他人的能力,選項A正確。選項B說法不完整,原文中提到的是,孩子在識別謊言的測驗中比成年人得分高;選項C說法與原文相反;選項D說法太過絕對。

53.答案:B)totelltheinconsistencybetweenaperson'swordsandhisnonverbalcues

點睛解析:此題問的是識別謊言的最好方法是什麼,原文出現在第四段Thebestwaytospotdeception后,即辨別出一個人的語言和非語言暗示之間的不一致,正確答案是B。

54.答案:A)Teachingthemtofightbackwhenthey'reintrouble.

點睛解析:此題答案在最後一段,選項B、C、D原文中均有提到,而fightback在原文中並沒有提到,正確答案是A。

55.答案:B)Howtoteachyourkidstospotalie

點睛解析:此題問的是此篇文章最好的標題是哪個,是主旨大意題,要求對文章全面把握。文章以如何教孩子識別謊言開篇,中間從三個學齡階段分別論述了父母應該怎樣做來教孩子識別謊言,最後以父母要教孩子們相信自己的直覺結尾。由此可見,最佳標題應是選項B。
