19.Whatdowelearnaboutthebrainwhenthebodyisatrest?

【试题答案】A

【试题解析】题目问的是当身体处于静止状态时大脑的情况。说话者提及，当身体处于静止状态时，大脑会消耗身体总能量的20%到25%，A选项“它消耗的能量几乎占人体总能量的四分之一”是对原文录音的同义转换，因此正确。B选项“它继续燃烧卡路里，帮助我们保持体形”和C选项“它比在深度思考时消耗的能量更少”在录音中均没有信息提及，因此排除；D选项“它保持不活跃，没有明显燃烧卡路里”与录音表达恰好相反，因此不正确。

20.Whatdoesthespeakersayabouttheconsumptionofthebrain’senergy?

【试题答案】B

【试题解析】题目问说话者对大脑能量的消耗有什么看法？说话者提出，我们无从感觉到是什么消耗了大脑的能量，而这些消耗能量的活动大部分与有意识的活动无关，因此B选项“大部分消耗与有意识的活动无关”正确。A选项“用于主动学习的能量消耗占了很大一部分”在录音中并未提及；C选项“有相当一部分是用于执行困难的认知任务”和D选项“这与正在论及的活动的难度有关”。录音原文表述的是：当我们执行困难的认知任务时，大脑局部区域的能量使用可能会显著增加，但当涉及大脑的整体能量预算时，这些活动并不会使它有显著改变。C选项和D选项与原文表述不符，因此排除。

21.Whatdowelearnabouttheoverallenergyavailabilityinthebrain?

【试题答案】C

【试题解析】题目问我们了解到大脑中的整体能量供应是怎样的？录音中提到大脑中的总体能量供应是恒定的。因此C选项“人们认为它基本保持不变”正确。A选项“它有利于缓解精神疲惫”；B选项“它是任何心理活动的前提”以及D选项“它被认为与食物消耗有关”在录音中均没有信息提及，因此可排除。

2.单选题

Ifwefindthegenesthatcontrolthehumanbodyclock，wecanperhapsslowthemdownandextendhumanlife（）alittle.

问题1选项

A.expectation

B.terminal

C.expectancy

D.range

【答案】D

【解析】考查名词辨析。A选项expectation“希望，期望”，B选项terminal“航空站，终点站”，C选项expectancy“期待，期望”，D选项range“范围，变化”，句意：如果我们能找到控制人体生物钟的基因，我们或许就能放慢它们的速度，并稍微延长人类的寿命。因此，D选项符合句意。

【答案】第1题:B

第2题:B

第3题:D

第4题:C

第5题:A

【解析】1.主旨大意题。B项(暴力难以消除种族偏见)适合做文章标题。

2.细节题。第一段指出:Thewholeoftherecordedhistoryofthehumanrace,thattediousdocumentationofviolence,hastaughtusabsolutelynothing(人类的整个历史记录，那冗长乏味的暴力记录，完全没有教给我们任何东西)，故选B。

3.推断题。第二段指出:真正有理智的人鼓吹法制，遭到同类们的轻视、不信任和迫害。他们发现要人倾听他们的意见越来越困难。D项是对A,B,C三项的总结。

4.语义题。Nonethewiser字面意思是“—点也不比以前聪明”。

5.细节题。第二段指出:如果我们在法律的构架中进行工作，真正的持久的解决总是能实现的。因此推断作者认为,法制是消灭种族歧视的办法。

【答案】第1题:D

第2题:D

第3题:C

第4题:B

第5题:A

【解析】第1题:主旨大意题。文章开头提出了话题:在世界汽车行业中日本公司的生产效率最高。第一段、第二段分别探讨了针对此话题的两种观点并一一驳斥。第三段再提出正确观点。因此，D项“更正错误的想法”比较能概括文章目的。

第2题:细节事实题。最后一段指出:Japaneseautomakerschosetomakesmall-lotproductionfeasiblebyintroducingseveraldeparturesfromUnitedStatespractices,includingtheuseofflexibleequipmentthatcouldbealteredeasilytodoseveraldifferentproductiontasksandthetrainingofworkersinmultiplejobs(日本汽车制造商选择通过引入几项与美国不同的做法，使小批量生产成为可能，包括使用灵活的设备，这些设备可以很容易地改变，以完成几项不同的生产任务，并培训从事多种工作的工人)，因此，D项“他们（即日本汽车工人）被培训去做不止一项工作”正确。

第3题:判断推理题。第一段先陈述事实:日本企业在世界汽车企业生产效率中达到最高水平，随后针对这个事实进行解释，最后反驳:情况不是这样。因此，C项“陈述一个事实；接着进行解释，然后进行反驳”正确。

第4题:细节事实题。最后一段指出:therebyeliminatingtheneedtostorethebufferstocksofextracomponentsthatresultwhenspecializedequipmentandworkersarekeptconstantlyactive(从而消除了去储存额外部件缓冲库存的需要，而该需求产生于特定的设备和工人被保持不断工作时)。因此，B项“需要储存不被立刻需要的额外部件”正确。

第5题:细节事实题。最后一段指出:AmorefruitfulexplanationmayliewithJapaneseproductiontechniques.Japaneseautomobileproducersdidnotsimplyimplementconventionalprocessesmoreeffectively:theymadecriticalchangesinUnitedStatesprocedures(一个更有成效的解释可能在于日本人的生产技术。日本汽车生产商并没有简单地更有效地实施传统流程：他们在美国的做法上进行了重大的变革)，由此可知A项“日本和美国汽车制造商在他们的生产流程上有差异”正确。

5.单选题

Itwasa

passeditwithdistinction.

问题1选项

A.consequently

B.moreover

C.nevertheless

D.likewise

【答案】C

6.单选题

Youcan’tletyoureyesglideacrossthelinesofabookand（

）anunderstandingofwhatyouhaveread.

问题1选项

A.comeupto

B.comeacross

C.comearound

D.comeupwith

【答案】D

【解析】comeupto达到，等于；comeacross偶遇，无意中发现；comearound顺便来访，苏醒；comeupwith提出，想出，赶上。句意：快速地浏览一本书，你无法理解阅读的内容。选项D符合语境。

7.单选题

“ThatEnglishfellow’ssongsareveryportic.”“（）thewordstothesongs,buthealsocomposesthemusic.”

问题1选项

A.Healsowrite

B.Althoughhewrites

C.Notonlydoeshewrite

D.Itisnotallthathewrites

【答案】C

【解析】notonly...butalso...为固定搭配。句意：他不仅自己作词,还自己作曲。

8.单选题

TheUnitedStatesFoodandDragAdministrationhasshownitselftobeparticularlywarywithregardtoalleged“miracle”drugsinrecentyears.

问题1选项

A.bellicose

B.exhausted

C.cautious

D.strange

【答案】C

【解析】考查形容词辨析。A选项bellicose“好战的”；B选项exhausted“精疲力竭的”；C选项cautious“谨慎的”；D选项strange“奇怪的”。句意：近年来，美国食品药品监督管理局对所谓的神药的态度开始特别谨慎。根据语境，C选项cautious“谨慎的”比较符合对miracledrugs“神药”的态度，和wary“谨慎的”同义，符合题意。因此C选项正确。

9.单选题

Duringhis10yearsofserviceinTibetheworkedmuchmorethanwhichwasgoodforhishealthandnowheisvirtuallyaninvalid.

问题1选项

A.yearsofservice

B.thanwhich

C.for

D.virtually

【答案】B

【解析】考查语法。根据句子结构可知，than引导的是一个比较状语从句，表示的是“他工作远远超过了对他健康有益的范围/程度”，which是指“哪一个”，在这里应该改为what，指“什么”。句意：在西藏服务的10年里，他的工作远远超出了对健康有益的范围，他实际上是一个残疾人。因此，该题选择B项。

【答案】第1题:D

第2题:A

第3题:D

第4题:D

第5题:A

【解析】1.【试题答案】D

【试题解析】推理判断题。由题干关键词“somethinghugewashappening”可以定位到文章第一段，根据第一段第一句Backintheearly1990s,Iknewlittleaboutcomputersbeyondwhatittooktogetthroughaworkingday.（上世纪90年代初，我对电脑知之甚少，只知道工作一天的用电量。）和第三句ItwasstirringeconomiesandimaginationsandpossibilitieslikenothingIhadeverknown.（它对经济、想象力和可能性的刺激是我从未见过的。）可知，前后文讲的主要是技术带来的影响，由此可以推断巨大的变化指的是高科技的发展。因此D选项“高科技的发展”正确。A选项“房屋设计”，B选项“室内装修”，C选项“家具生产”均不符合题意，所以A，B，C错误。

2.【试题答案】A

【试题解析】客观细节题。由题干可以定位到文章第二段第一、二句Rollyoftencalledmewithastreamofideas.Hisrateofideaproductionpersecondseemedalmostincredible.（罗利经常给我打电话，说出一连串的想法。他每秒钟产生创意的速度简直令人难以置信。），说明罗利是一个很有创意的人。因此A选项“创意”正确。B选项“谨慎”，C选项“体贴”，D选项“保守”在文中均没有提及，所以B，C，D错误。

3.【试题答案】D

【试题解析】推理判断题。由题干可以定位到文章第第三段第二、三句Tryoutdifferentwindowsanddoors,differentpaintcolorsandfurnishings.Whentheyweresatisfied,wewouldenablethemtogoonlinetomaketheprojecthappen,togettheproductsandthefinancingandtheprofessionaldesignandconstructiontohelptodoitoutright.（尝试不同的门窗，不同的油漆颜色和家具。当他们满意的时候，我们就让他们去网上实现自己的规划，购买产品及专业的设计和建筑，我们将帮助他们实现规划。），说明这一系列动作的结果就是帮助人们拥有一个理想的房子。因此D选项“拥有理想的房子”正确。A选项“租用理想的房子”，B选项“购买理想的房子”，C选项“找到理想的房子”均不符合题意，所以A，B，C错误。

4.【试题答案】D

【试题解析】推理判断题。由题干可以定位到文章第四段第二、三句Hesimplydroppedhisprofitableenergy-consultingbusinesstocommithimselffulltimetoBuildingBlocks.IsoonjoinedhimafterIquitmywell-paidjobatanewspaper.（他干脆放弃了利润丰厚的能源咨询业务，把全部时间都投入到BuildingBlocks上。我辞去了在一家报社的高薪工作，不久就加入了他的行列。），说明两个人都拥有一份收入较高的工作，为了共同的兴趣而辞职。因此D选项“对电子商务感兴趣”正确。A选项“建筑学专家”在文中没有提及，所以A错误。B选项“工作报酬低”，C选项“当时没有工作”，由原文可知，当时两人都有工作，且收入很高，所以B，C错误。

5.【试题答案】A

【试题解析】客观细节题。由题干可以定位到文章倒数第二段第一句Toourdelight,nearlyeveryonewaseagertoseewhatwewereshowing,includingthetopexecutivesofsomeenormouscompanies.（令我们高兴的是，几乎每个人都急于看我们展示的东西，包括一些大公司的高管。），说明他们很开心是因为大家对他们的产品很感兴趣。因此A选项“他们引起了人们对他们产品的兴趣”正确。B选项“他们卖出了一些自己的产品”，C选项“他们的第一笔订单来自一些著名的建筑公司”，D选项“他们有机会参观一些著名的建筑公司”均不符合题意，所以B，C，D错误。
