第3题:A

第4题:C

第5题:D

【解析】1.主旨思想题。结合全文内容可知，本文主要讲的是地震及其影响，并着重介绍了其最具破坏性的影响之一——海啸。所以选项C正确。

2.信息推断题。根据第一段倒数第二句“ThegoalofseismologistsistounderstandtheearthquakeandotherseismicactivityonEarth.”可知，seismologists的目标是了解地球上的地震及其引发的其他活动。选项D符合原文。

3.信息推断题。结合上下文“...canhelpdecreasethenumberofdeathsandinjuriesthatmayoccur.”分享这些信息能够帮助减少可能发生的死亡和受伤人数。由此可以推断，“earthquake-pronearea”指容易发生地震的地方，选项A正确。

4.事实细节题。根据第二段的一二句可知，地震最具破坏性的影响之一是海啸。海啸是巨大的海浪，发生在海底地震后。由此可知，海啸是由地震导致的，选项C正确。

1.Insteadofdying,cancercellsoutlivenormalcellsandcontinuetoformnewabnormalcells.

2.CancercellsdevelopbecauseofdamagetoDNA.

3.Yes,itisbecausepeoplecaninheritdamagedDNA,whichaccountsforinheritedcancers.

4.Notalltumorsarecancerousbecausetherearebenigntumors,whichdonotspreadtootherpartsofthebodyandusuallyarenotlifethreatening.

【解析】1.细节事实题。题干意思是“癌细胞与正常细胞有何不同？”。第三段前两句提到Becausecancercellscontinuetogrowanddivide,theyaredifferentfromnormalcells.Insteadofdying,theyoutlivenormalcellsandcontinuetoformnewabnormalcells.（因为癌细胞继续生长和分裂，所以它们不同于正常细胞；它们不是死亡，而是比正常细胞活得更久，并继续形成新的异常细胞），所以把这两句整合到一起，答案为Insteadofdying,cancercellsoutlivenormalcellsandcontinuetoformnewabnormalcells（癌细胞不会死亡，而是比正常细胞活得更久，并继续形成新的不正常细胞）。

2.细节事实题。题干意思是“癌细胞为什么会产生？”。第四段第一句就提到了CancercellsdevelopbecauseofdamagetoDNA.（癌细胞的产生是由于对DNA的破坏），因此答案为这一句。

3.细节事实题。题干意思是“癌症遗传吗？为什么？”。文章第四段提到Incancercells,thedamagedDNAisnotrepaired.PeoplecaninheritdamagedDNA,whichaccountsforinheritedcancers.（在癌细胞中，受损的DNA无法修复；人们可以遗传受损的DNA，这就是遗传性癌症的原因）可知，癌症会遗传，原因是癌细胞破坏的DNA，而受损的DNA可以遗传。

4.细节事实题。题干意思是“所有的肿瘤都是恶性的吗？为什么是或为什么不是？”。根据第五段最后两句Rememberthatnotalltumorsarecancerous.Benigntumorsdonotspreadtootherpartsofthebodyand,withveryrareexceptions,arenotlifethreatening.（记住，不是所有的肿瘤都是恶性的；良性肿瘤不会扩散到身体的其他部位，不会危及生命，除了极少数例外）可知，不是所有的肿瘤是恶性的。故答案为Notalltumorsarecancerousbecausetherearebenigntumors,whichdonotspreadtootherpartsofthebodyandusuallyarenotlifethreatening（不是所有的肿瘤都是恶性的，因为有良性肿瘤，它们不会扩散到身体的其他部位，通常不会危及生命）。

第4题:A

第5题:C

【解析】1.主旨大意题。文章第一段第一句提到“如果有天赋的学生与学校互相不适应，也就不奇怪他们对读书经历没什么好感”（Giventhelackoffitbetweengiftedstudentsandtheirschools,itisnotsurprisingthatsuchstudentsoftenhavelittlegoodtosayabouttheirschoolexperience），选项B“它们经常满足不了有天赋的学生的要求”符合题意。

2.判断推理题。文章第一段提到如OliverGoldsmith这类有天赋的学生不喜欢学校，接下来列举了他们的学校经历来作证，因此作者引用Oliver老师中的一位的话是为了给自己的论证提供事实支持，选项A符合题意。

3.细节事实题。文章第二段第一句提到“这些具有天赋的学生中的一些人在学校可能因为天赋不在学业方面，因此表现很差，比如毕加索”（Someofthesegiftedpeoplemayhavedonepoorlyinschoolbecausetheirgiftswerenotscholastic.MaybewecanaccountforPicassointhisway），因此选项C“无法应对学校里的学习”符合题意。

4.细节事实题。文章最后一段第一句提到“当谈到能力培养的重要影响因素时，这些天赋极高的人谈论得更多的是他们的家庭而不是学校或者老师”（Whenhighlygiftedstudentsinanydomaintalkaboutwhatwasimportanttothedevelopmentoftheirabilities,theyarefarmorelikelytomentiontheirfamiliesthantheirschoolsorteachers），选项A“主要是父母在家里的教育”符合题意。

5.细节事实题。文章第二段第三句提到“但是大多数人在学校表现不好，并不是因为他们缺乏能力，而是因为他们觉得学校没有挑战性，因此失去了兴趣”（Butmostfaredpoorlyinschoolnotbecausetheylackedabilitybutbecausetheyfoundschoolunchallengingandconsequentlylostinterest），选项C“学校课程不能鼓励和激发他们的兴趣”符合题意。

【答案】第1题:D

第2题:A

第3题:D

第4题:A

第5题:C

【解析】第1题:文章第二段第三句话Themanufacturerofthebrandthathasbeen‘cut’fearsthattheretailermaybetemptedtoreducetheservicesonthisarticle,生产商担心那个商品降价会导致零售商降低对该商品顾客的服务，所以选项D符合题意。

第2题:文章最后一段最后一句话Hecanofferbetterservice—longcredit,orquickdeliveryorapleasantshopdecororhelpfulassistants，零售商为顾客提供更优质的服务，比如延长支付时间，快速送货或者把店面装饰得很漂亮，或者找一些有用的助手，选项A符合题意。

第3题:sb.isbeingdone“某人被欺骗”，所以选项D符合题意。

第4题:文章第一段提到thispracticeisassociatedwiththesaleof“branded”goods，这种做法是跟品牌货物相连的，所以可以推论不是名牌的商品不受固定价格的约束，所以选项B排除；第二段generallysucharticlesarepackedandadvertisedbythemanufacturers,whotrytocreateaspecialimageinthemindsofpossiblepurchasers…，生厂商希望在潜在的顾客心中塑造一个特别的形象，所以选项C排除；第三段itissometimessaidalsothatthehousewifewhoistheprincipalbuyerofmostofthesegoodsprefers…，家庭主妇们会感到安全，避免为了寻找更低的价格从一家商店跑到另一家，所以选项D排除。因此选项A符合题意。

第5题:根据上下文可知家庭主妇喜欢固定的价格是因为这样可以不用在不同商店之间来回比价格，并且还说到如果没有去价格更便宜的商店买东西，她们会感到懊恼，所以可以判断sheknowswheresheis是感到安全的意思。选项C符合题意。

8.单选题

TheMedalofNationalScienceis[A]thehighest[B]awardscientificthatcanbe[C]givento[D]anyindividualintheUnitedStates.

问题1选项

A.thehighest

B.awardscientific

C.given

D.any

【答案】B

【解析】【考查点】形容词语序。

【解题思路】award是名词，scientific是形容词，形容词应该放在名词前面，所以正确语序是scientificaward（科学奖项）。该题选择B项。

【句意】国家科学奖章是美国授予任何个人的最高科学奖。

【答案】在中产阶级面临的诸多恼人挑战中，有一个很可能在下届总统竞选中会被忽视：当机器人来抢饭碗时会发生什么?

不要完全排除这种可能性。牛津大学的一项研究显示，美国约有一半的工作面临着被自动化取代的高风险，中产阶级受到了不成比例的挤压。像园艺或日托这样的低收入工作对机器人没有吸引力。但许多中产阶级的职业卡车运输、金融咨询、软件工程已经引起了他们的兴趣，或者很快就会引起他们的兴趣。富人拥有机器人，所以他们会没事的。

这不是危言耸听。乐观主义者指出，技术变革在过去曾使工人受益。工业革命对反对技术进步者来说并不那么顺利，他们的工作被机械化的织布机取代了，但工业革命最终提高了生活水平，创造的就业岗位比被摧毁的要多。同样，自动化最终应该会提高生产率，通过压低价格来刺激需求，让工人从繁重、乏味的工作中解脱出来。但从中期来看，中产阶级工人可能需要大量帮助来进行调整。

未来几年，技术将大大小小的改善社会，但对于那些发现自己的生活和事业被自动化颠覆的人来说，这并不是什么安慰。摧毁那些为我们工作而来的机器将是疯狂的。但帮助工人适应的政策将是不可或缺的。
