【答案】第1题:C

第2题:B

第3题:D

第4题:B

第5题:A

【解析】1.细节推理题。题干：在这篇文章的开头，关于今天的回收者说了些什么？本文第一段最后一句提到“ThefamedNorsewarriors,manyofwhomsettledpartsofeasternandnorthernEnglandintheMiddleAges,recycledastheyfought,newexcavationsintheUnitedKingdomsuggest”，著名的北欧战士——维京人就是边打仗边回收利用，说明今天的回收者可能是从维京人继承而来。因此C选项符合题意。

2.细节推理题。题干：关于最近在约克市发现的11世纪金属加工遗址，下列哪一项是正确的？文章第二段第一句提到了11世纪金属加工遗址。文中对此的描述是“whereVikingstookweaponsforreprocessingafterbattle”，与B选项对应，因此B选项符合题意。

3.细节推理题。题干：在发现武器回收中心之前，考古学家对维京人的回收利用了解多少？文中的CharlesJones即aechaeologist考古学家，文中引用了“Theironfindssupporttheideathatmetalwasgatheredandrecycledintheareajustbehindwherethefightingtookplace”，对应D选项的内容，因此D选项符合题意。

4.细节推理题。题干：富尔福德村有什么特别之处？第五段提到“Vikingsforcesworkedonthemetalin1066afterdefeatingEnglishwarriorsattheBattleofFulford,avillagelongsincesubsumedbytheexpandedcityofYork”，可知1066年在这里发生了战役，维京人在这里开始回收武器。因此B选项符合题意。

5.细节推理题。题干：我们对福尔福德战场了解多少？文章最后一段说到“TheFulfordBattlefieldSocietyis“workingincloseco-operationwiththearchaeologicalestablishment”，提取关键词“合作”，还提到“Archaeologyhasalongtraditionofamateurstakingpart”，与A选项的“amateurhistorians”对应，因此A选项符合题意。

2.单选题

问题1选项

A.soonandsoforth

B.moreorless

C.somethingorother

D.soonerorlater

【答案】C

【解析】考查短语辨析。A选项soonandsoforth“等等”；B选项moreorless“或多或少”；C选项somethingorother“什么的（表示模糊概念），常用于口语”；D选项soonerorlater“迟早”。句意：你不由得去听一些广告，因为每隔几分钟节目就会被打断，给你一个广告什么的。C选项符合句意，因此C选项正确。

3.单选题

Thisbook,______onlyappearedayearago,hasalreadygonethroughseveraleditions.

问题1选项

A.that

B.which

C.when

D.who

【答案】B

【解析】考查非限定性定语从句。根据这个句子可知主谓结构完整，所以空格部分为定语从句；因为主语books后面有逗号，所以这是一个非限制性定语从句且先行词为物，故排除A、D选项；C项when在非限制性定语从句中作时间状语，不符合先行词books；故只有B项正确。句意：这本书一年前才面市，就已经修订好几次了。因此，该题选择B项正确。

4.单选题

Ibelievereservesofcoalhereare______tolastforfiftyyears.

问题1选项

A.efficient

B.sufficient

C.persistent

D.rich

【答案】B

【解析】考查形容词辨析。A项efficient“有效的”，B项sufficient“充足的”，C项persistent“执着的，坚持不懈的”，D项rich“富有的”。根据关键词reservesofcoal“煤储存”和lastforfiftyyears“持续50年”可知，B选项符合语境。句意：我相信这里的煤储量足够用五十年。因此，该题选择B项正确。

5.单选题

问题1选项

A.reticent

B.decent

C.innocent

D.descent

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:B

第3题:A

第4题:B

第5题:D

【解析】1.主旨题。原文第一段第一句指出美国是一个由许多不同种族组成的国家，由此引出种族歧视，但本文的主旨句在第五段第一句，所有的种族都帮助美国成为一个伟大的国家。选项C符合原文。

2.语义题。根据原文句意，通常它们是混合在一起的，无法区分。由此可推测，told指无法区分的，选项B符合句意。

3.细节推断题。根据第三段第五句“Almosteverygrouphasbeenabletofinallyescapethisdiscrimination.”几乎每一个群体最终都能摆脱这种歧视。说明每个种族都曾经历过歧视，所以选项A正确。

4.细节推理题。根据第四段第一句“OnereasontheIndiansarediscriminatedagainstisthattheyhavetriedsohardtokeeptheiridentity.”印第安人受到歧视的一个原因是他们一直努力保持自己的身份。选项B符合原文。本题容易错选A，第四段最后一句提到的是荷兰人由于宗教原因与其他种族分开，而不是印第安人，所以不正确。

5.细节事实题。根据第四段最后一句“Theyliveseparatelyforreligiousreasons...”可知选项D正确。

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:B

第3题:A

第4题:C

第5题:D

【解析】56.【试题答案】C

【试题解析】判断推理题。题干意思是“从用词可以判断第一段的语气是如何的？”。第一段指出Here’sascenarioyoumightrecognizeifyou’reawomandatingasocialmediabutterfly:You’resittingonthecouchtogethersilentlywatchingTV.WhenyoutakeamomenttopeekatyourTwitterfeed,youseeyoursignificantotherhasbeensharingastreamofpersonalthoughtsaboutHouseofCardswiththeTwitterverse—eventhoughhehasn’tutteredawordtoyou.（如果你是一个喜欢社交媒体的女人，你可能会想到这样一个场景：你们一起坐在沙发上默默地看电视。当你花点时间浏览你的推特时，你会发现你的另一半一直在推特上分享关于《纸牌屋》的一系列个人想法——尽管他还没有对你说过一个字）；文中用了一个贬义词“butterfly（追求享乐的人）”，可以推断这段语气是嘲讽，所以C项“讥讽、嘲笑”符合。A项“批判的”不符合题意；B项“讽刺的、反话的”，是指用反话讽刺，文中没有用反话所以不符合题意；D项“热情的”错误。因此C选项正确。

57.【试题答案】B

【试题解析】判断推理题。题干意思是“为什么男士更喜欢在网上表达而不是当面表达？”。第二段提到It’snosurprisethatmantendtobemoretight-lippedthanwomenabouttheirthoughtsandfeelings,butsocialmediaiscreatingahavenforsomementoexpressthemselvesonlineinwaystheydon’tinperson—andneverwouldhavebefore.（男性对自己的想法和感受往往比女性守口如瓶，这并不奇怪，但社交媒体为一些男性创造了一个避风港，他们可以用自己在现实生活中从未有过的方式在网上表达自己），可以推断，男性认为社交媒体是安全的。A项“男性认为社交媒体是有力量的”没有提到；C项“男性喜欢把想法讲给观众听”，文中只是说社交媒体为男性提供了避风港；D项“在一个人面前说话会害羞”，这里只是说了男性与女性相比，男性不爱表达。因此B选项正确。

58.【试题答案】A

【试题解析】细节事实题。题干意思是“根据文章，下列哪一项关于女性的说法是不正确的？”。第三段第三行提到Womenaremorelikelythanmentousesocialmedia（女性比男性更有可能使用社交媒体），证明B项“她们使用社交媒体比男性更频繁”正确；第二段最后一句Womencannowturntosocialmediatogetmoreinsightintowhattheirpartnersthink（现在，女性可以通过社交媒体来更深入地了解伴侣的想法）可知，C项“通过社交媒体，她们会更加了解自己的伴侣”正确；第三段倒数第二行womenareequallywillingtosharethethoughtstheyspewoutintothedigitaletherwithsomeonefacetoface（女性也同样愿意与某人面对面地分享她们在数字世界中迸发的想法）可知，D项“她们既乐意在社交媒体也愿意面对面交流”正确；而A项“她们受到社交媒体的负面影响”文章没有提及，只在第四段第二行提到thereforehaveagreaterneedtoexpresstheirnegativeemotionsandseeksupports（因此，男性和女性更需要表达自己的负面情绪并寻求支持）。因此，该题选A。

59.【试题答案】C

【试题解析】细节事实题。题干意思是“男性和女性保持使用社交媒体的理由是以下除了……选项？”。从第四段EvaBuechel,aPhDcandidateattheUniversityofMiamiwhohasstudiedwhypeoplesharecontentonline,hasfoundthatmenandwomenwhoexperiencesocialanxiety,andthereforehaveagreaterneedtoexpresstheirnegativeemotionsandseeksupport,areequallylikelytomaintainablogorsocialmediaaccount.（迈阿密大学博士生EvaBuechel研究为什么人们在线分享内容，他发现男性和女性经历社会焦虑，也因此更需要表达自己的负面情绪，寻求支持，同样有可能保持一个博客或社交媒体账户）可以看出，A项“抱怨”、B项“得到支持”、D项“经历社会焦虑”均提到，唯独C项“交朋友”没有提及。所以该题选C。

60.【试题答案】D

【试题解析】判断推理题。题干意思是“关于男性使用社交媒体，从最后一段可以推断出……？”。最后一段讲到menareincreasinglymorelikelytosharetheircreativework,likewriting,music,orart,online.Nearlytwo-thirdsofmenina2008studysaidtheyposttheirworkonline,comparedwithonlyhalfofthewomenwhoreportedposting.（男性越来越愿意在网上分享他们的创造性工作，如写作、音乐或艺术；在2008年的一项研究中，近三分之二的男性表示他们会在网上发布自己的工作，相比之下，只有一半的女性会在网上发布工作）；可以推断男性更愿意分享自己的工作，A项“男性从来不分享他们的感情生活”没有提到；B项“男性希望在网上得到工作上的支持”也没有提到；C项“男性在写作、艺术和思考方面更有创造性”文中并没有说到，只是说他们愿意分享。因此D选项正确。

9.翻译题

美元的贬值使得许多外国投资者购买美国股票更加划算。这就引发了来自美国以外的投资者的抢购，特別是日本投资者的抢购。另外，如果贸易状况有所好转，美国公司的竞争力最终将会更加强大。因此，许多投资者购买以出口为导向的美国公司的股票，以期在明年获得更大的利润。但这只是当前的一种时髦理念。如果今后几个季度里美国公司的整体收益令人失望的话，那么，这种狂热的购买行为就会消失。

问题1选项

A.to

B.standing

C.setfor

【答案】D

【解析】考查非谓语动词。句中的jointcommittees是consistof“由……组成”的逻辑主语。且consistof不能用被动语态，应将D选项consisted改为consisting。

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:A

第3题:D
