D【解析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了兰卡威岛的四条旅游路线。【1题详解】细节理解题。对比表格右侧四条旅游路线的票价信息可知，线路1的价格是最低的（成人每人RM 160.00，3-12岁儿童每人RM 120.00），因此它的特别之处是它是四条路线中最便宜的，故C项正确。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据四条路线的介绍可知，路线3是邮轮旅行，它的成人票价是每人RM 450.00，3-12岁儿童每人RM 350.00，因此一对夫妇带着三岁的孩子进行一天的邮轮旅行需要花RM 1250.00（RM 450.002+ RM 350.00），故B项正确。【3题详解】细节理解题。根据表格最后一栏信息可知，路线4的时间是下午4点到晚上9点，而其他三条路线都是从上午开始，在下午2点或5点结束，因此路线4最适合下午旅游的游客，因为他们可以一直玩到9点，故D项正确。BBritish childrens writer Roald Dahl ate chocolates and sweets pretty much every mealtime, remembers daughter Ophelia Dahl.After dinner, whether dining alone or entertaining guests, Dahl would pass around a little red plastic box full of Mars Bars, Milky Ways, Maltesers, Kit Kats and much more.He knew the history of all the sweets and could tell you exactly when they were invented. 1937 was a big year when Kit Kats (his favorite), Rolos, and Smarties (his dog, choppers favorite) were invented. He wrote a history of chocolate, lecturing schoolchildren to commit such dates to memory, such as 1928 when Cadburys Fruit and Nut Bar popped up on the scene, saying dont bother with the Kings and Queens of England. All of you should learn these dates instead. Perhaps the Headmistress will see from now on that it becomes part of the major teaching in this school.According to Dahl, the Golden Years of Chocolate were 1930-1937. In 1930, Roald Dahl was 14 years old. He was a student at Repton, a famous boys boarding school in England. It was a tough environment: Those in authority were more interested in controlling than educating the students.Ironically, it was at this difficult period that chocolate became Dahls passion. Near Repton was a Cadbury chocolate factory. Every so often, Cadbury would send each schoolboy a sampler box of new chocolates to taste and grade. They were using the students the greatest chocolate bar experts in the world to test out their new inventions.This was when Dahls imagination took flight. He pictured factories with inventing rooms with pots of chocolate and fudge （软糖）and “all sorts of other delicious fillings bubbling away on the stoves”.“It was lovely dreaming those dreams when I was looking for a plot for my second book for children, I remembered those little cardboard boxes and the newly-invented chocolates inside them, and I began to write a book called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.For the record, Roald Dahl did not like chocolate cake or chocolate ice cream. He said, “I prefer my chocolate straight.”4. What can we learn about Roald Dahl?A. He treated himself with various chocolates after dinner secretly.B. He has a good knowledge of chocolate, especially its history.C. He used to lecture schoolchildren of a boys, boarding school.D. He only wrote some books related to the history of chocolate.5. What happened during the Golden Years of Chocolate?A. It was a great time for children to get educated.B. Those years stopped Dahls interest in chocolate.C. Students could become chocolate experts then.D. Roald Dahls passion for chocolate was lit up then.6. Which of the following can best replace the underlined phrase?A. paid offB. went onC. picked upD. took off7. What gave Roald Dahl inspiration to write Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?A. The dreams about chocolates.B. Factories with chocolate and fudge.C. Those boxes with chocolates.D. Chocolate cakes and ice cream.【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了英国儿童作家Roald Dahl对巧克力的热情。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“He knew the history of all the sweets and could tell you exactly when they were invented.”可知，Roald Dahl对巧克力很了解，尤其是它的历史，故B项正确。【5题详解】细节理解题。 根据第五段中的“Ironically, it was at this difficult period that chocolate became Dahls passion.”可知，在巧克力的黄金时代，14岁的Roald Dahl对巧克力的热情由此点燃，故D项正确。【6题详解】词义猜测题。画线词后是Roald Dahl想象的场景：工厂里的房间里，一盆盆巧克力和软糖，以及各种各样美味的馅料，在炉子上咕嘟咕嘟地冒着热气，也就是说Roald Dahl的想象力飞了起来，由此可知画线词词义为“起飞”，故D项正确。【7题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“I remembered those little cardboard boxes and the newly-invented chocolates inside them, and I began to write a book called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.”可知，是那些装满巧克力的盒子给了Roald Dahl写查理与巧克力工厂的灵感，故C项正确。【点睛】词义猜测题难度较大，对画线词上下文的理解是关键，例如本篇第3题，根据画线词后的“He pictured factories with inventing rooms with pots of chocolate and fudge （软糖）and “all sorts of other delicious fillings bubbling away on the stoves”可知，Roald Dahl想象着这样的场景：工厂里的房间里，一盆盆巧克力和软糖，以及各种各样美味的馅料，在炉子上咕嘟咕嘟地冒着热气，也就是说Roald Dahl的想象力飞了起来，特别是“pictured”一词表明画线词词义为“起飞”。CTechnology is supposed to make our lives easier, allowing us to do things more quickly and efficiently. But too often it seems to make things harder. This increase in complexity, often called feature creep, costs consumers time, but it also costs business money. Product returns in the U.S. cost a hundred billion dollars a year, and a recent study by Elke den Ouden, of Philips Electronics, found that at least half of returned products have nothing wrong with them. Consumers just couldnt figure out how to use them. Companies now know a great deal about problems of usability and consumer behavior, so why is it that feature creep proves unstoppable?In part, fieature creep is the product of the so-called internal-audience problem: the people who design and sell product are not the ones who buy and use them, and what engineers and marketers think is important is not necessarily whats best for consumers. The engineers tend not to notice when more options make a product less usable. And marketing and sales departments see each additional feature as a new selling point, and a new way to attract customers.You might think, then, that companies could avoid fieature creep by just paying attention to what customers really want. But thats where the trouble begins, because although consumers find overloaded gadgets（ 配件）unmanageable, they also find them attractive. It turns out that when we look at a new product in a store we tend to think that the more features there are, the better. It is only once we get the product home and try to use it that we realize the virtues of simplicity.It seems strange that we dont expect feature tiredness and thus avoid it. But, as numerous studies have shown, people are not, in general, good at predicting what will make them happy in the future. As a result, we will pay more for more features because we systematically overestimate how often well use them. We also overestimate our ability to figure out how a complicated product works.The fact that buyers want bells and whistles but users want something clear and simple creates an unusual problem for companies. A product that doesnt have enough features may fail to catch our eye in the store. But a product with too many features is likely to annoy consumers.8. What does the first paragraph mainly discuss?A. The benefits brought by the advanced technology.B. The recent study conducted by Elke den Ouden.C. The loss caused by the feature creep of technology.D. Many problems of usability known by the consumers.9. Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?A. It is the audience problem that leads to feature creep.B. What matters to designers and marketers is not good for consumers.C. Feature creep brings blessings to the people in marketing and sales.D. The engineers will not pay attention to the quality of the product10. What do we know about the buyers in paragraph 4?A. They are deeply convinced that all the products work in simple way.B. They are fed up with the more and more features of the products.C. They are too confident of their ability to use the complicated products.D. They are quite clear about the products which will make them happy.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Saying No to Feature Creep is No Easy ThingB. Feature-heavy Products in DemandC. The More Features, the BetterD. Simplicity Outweighs Complexity【答案】8. C 9. C 10. C 11. A【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了科技的“功能蔓延”是不可阻挡的，拒绝“功能蔓延”不是一件容易的事情。【8题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段内容，特别是“This increase in complexity, often called feature creep, costs consumers time, but it also costs business money.”可知，“功能蔓延”不但消耗消费者的时间，而且还消耗企业的资金，由此可知，本段主要讲的是技术的“功能蔓延”造成的损失，故C项正确。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“And marketing and sales departments see each additional feature as a new selling point, and a new way to attract customers.”可知，营销和销售人员把它看作一个新的卖点，一个吸引顾客的新方法，由此可知，“功能蔓延”给营销和销售人员带来福音，故C项正确。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“We also overestimate our ability to figure out how a complicated product works.”可知，购买者高估了自己理解复杂产品工作原理的能力，也就是说他们对自己使用复杂产品的能力过于自信，故C项正确。【11题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段中的“so why is it that feature creep proves unstoppable?”可知，本文从设计者和消费者的角度介绍了科技的“功能蔓延”是不可阻挡的，拒绝“功能蔓延”不是一件容易的事情，故A项正确。DAnecdotal evidence has long held that creativity in artists and writers can be associated with living in foreign parts. Rudyard Kipling, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, Paul Gauguin, Samuel Beckett and others spent years living abroad. Now a pair of psychologist has proven that there is indeed a link.As they report in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, William Maddux of INSEAD, a business school in Fontainebleau, France, and Adam Galinsky, of the Kellogg School of Management in Chicago, presented 155 American business students and 55 foreign ones studying in America with a test used by psychologists as a measure of creativity Given a candle, some matches and a box of drawing pins, the students were asked to attach the candle to a cardboard wall so that no wax would drip on the floor when the candle was lit. (The solution is to use the box as a candleholder and fix it to the wall with the pin.) They found 60% of the students who were either living abroad or had spent some time doing so, solved the problem, whereas only 42% of those who had not lived abroad did so.A follow-up study with 72 Americans and 36 foreigners explored their creative negotiating skills. Pairs of students were asked to play the role of seller of a petrol station who then needed to get a job and a buyer who would need to hire staff to run the business. The two were likely to reach a deadlock because the buyer had been told he could not afford what the seller was told was his minimum price. Nevertheless, when both negotiators had lived abroad 70 % struck a deal in which the seller was offered a management job at the petrol station in return for a lower asking price. When neither of the negotiators had lived abroad, none was able to reach a deal.Merely travelling abroad, however, was not enough. You do have to live there. Packing your beach towel and suntan lotion will not, by itself make you Hemingway.12. What is the purpose of mentioning the famous names in the opening paragraph?A. To show the relationship between creativity and living abroad.B. To indicate the link between artistic creation and life experience.C. To emphasize how great these artists are.D. To impress the importance of creativity.13. What can be inferred from the text?A. William Maddux and Adam Galinsky have carefully designed the testB. Negotiators who had lived abroad are more flexible in negotiating.C. American business students are less creative than those oversea students.D. Ones creativity is associated with the length one has spent abroad.14. What does the author mean in the last sentence of paragraph 4?A. There exist sharp differences between travelling and living abroad.B. You shouldnt lie on the beach when travelling.C. Only real experience of living abroad can help drive creativity.D. Living abroad is more meaningful than just travelling abroad.15. Where is the text most likely from?A. A diary.B. A magazine.C. A novel.D. A guidebook.【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了研究发现国外生活可以提升创造力。【12题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Anecdotal evidence has long held that creativity in artists and writers can be associated with living in foreign parts.”可知，长期以来，坊间证据表明，艺术家和作家的创造力可能与生活在外国有关，接下来提到那些著名的人物就是为了证明这一点，即：展示创造力和海外生活之间的关系，故A项正确。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“when both negotiators had lived abroad 70 % struck a deal in which the seller was offered a management job at the petrol station in return for a lower asking price.”可知，当谈判的双方都在国外居住时，70%的人达成了协议，由此可知，在国外生活过的谈判者在谈判中更灵活，故B项正确。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Merely travelling abroad, however, was not enough. You do have to live there.”可知，然而，仅仅出国旅游是不够的（不能提升创造力），你必须住在那里，由此可知作者说这句话的意思是只有在国外居住才能提升创造力，故C项正确。【15题详解】推理判断题。通读全文可知，心理学家通过研究发现国外生活可以提升创造力，这属于科学研究范畴，最有可能出现在杂志的科学研究版块，故B项正确。【点睛】本篇第3题的难度较大，抓住上文介绍的创造力和海外生活之间的关系是关键心理学家通过研究发现国外生活可以提升创造力，因此此处作者是说仅仅出国旅游是不够的，你必须在那里居住才能提升创造力。第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项 选项中有两项为多余选项Lead has proved to be a useful metal. _16_ It goes into car batteries and also helps make bright pigments, used to paint walls, metal work and toys._17_ In the worst cases it causes comas（昏迷）and death. More often its effects are slow but harmful. Research shows that lead is a threat to little babies, who are
