Athletics,frequentlycalled"competitivesports",areperhapsthemostimportantoftheseactivities.Football,basketball,andbaseballteamsareseenasveryimportantinstudents,particularlyboys,the"winningspirit".Attimes,athleticteamsseemtobecomemoreimportanttosomestudentsandtheirparentsthanacademicprogramsofferedbytheschools.

【答案】尽管美国人的确认为教育是通向成功的阶梯，但他们并不确定，作为学校教育主要目的的知识成就是通向成功的唯一重要因素。人们认为争强好胜甚至带有侵略性的个性，对取得成功很重要，特别是对男人而言。社交能力和政治技能的培养也非常重要。

为了帮助美国人培养这些另外的重要技能，学校在日常生活中增加了大量课外活动。高中和大学尤其如此，而且也延伸到了小学。

田径运动，常被称为“竞技体育”，可能是这些活动中最重要的。足球、篮球和棒球队对学生，尤其是男生来说，被视为非常重要的“求胜精神”。有时，对于一些学生和家长来说，运动队似乎比学校提供的学术课程更为重要。

【答案】第1题:B

第2题:B

第3题:C

第4题:C

第5题:B

【解析】1.【试题答案】B

【试题解析】推理判断题。根据第一段Intheevenings,theygotothemall.Onceaweekormore.Sometimes,theyevenleavethedinnerdishesinthesinksotheywillhaveenoughtimetofinishalltheerrands.（晚上，他们去购物中心。一周一次或更多。有时，他们甚至把晚餐的碗碟放在水槽里，这样他们就有足够的时间完成所有的差事）可以得知B选项“他们的生活是忙碌的”正确，他们去购物中心还需要挤时间，代表他们的生活是忙碌的；根据题干可以定位到第一段Thefathernevercomes—hehatesshopping,especiallywithhiswife.Instead,hestaysathometoreadthepaperandputaroundhisstudy.Todothingsthattheotherdadsmustbedoingintheevenings.（父亲从不来——他讨厌购物，尤其是和妻子一起。相反，他待在家里看报纸，在他的书房周围。做其他爸爸晚上必须做的事情）可以得知A选项“父亲是懒惰的”错误，根据这些内容我们只能判断出父亲不喜欢购物，无法判断出父亲是否懒惰；C选项以及D选项未在第一段内提及。因此B选项符合题意。

2.【试题答案】B

【试题解析】推理判断题。根据第四段第二句Nowcomesthatwhat-if-I-threw-up-right-this-second?Orwhere-is-a-rabbit-hole-for-me-to-fall-into?feelingthattheygetaroundthistimeofevening,atthemall.（现在，在她们晚上闲逛商场的时候，出现了“如果我现在就吐出来”吗?还是“哪里有让我掉进的兔子洞?”的感觉）可以判断出B选项“不愿意和母亲一起跑腿”正确；根据第二段第二句HertwoyoungdaughtersforgetgamesofflashlighttagorfavoriteTVshowsandstrapontennisshoesandseatbelts:andthey’reoff.（她的两个年幼的女儿忘记了手电筒标签游戏或最喜欢的电视节目，系上网球鞋和安全带：然后她们就出发了）以及最后一句Theolderdaughterkeepsastraight-aheadgaze;hersulleneyescountdowneacherrandasit’sdone.（大女儿直视着前方；每做完一件事，她就用阴沉的眼睛数着）可以得知A选项“一开始就享受晚上的购物”和C选项“享受浏览各种各样的商品”错误；D选项在文章内没有提到；因此B选项符合题意。

3.【试题答案】C

【试题解析】语义推测题。A选项“移动；感动”；B选项“喷射，喷出，挤”；C选项“扭动；蠕动”；D选项“消化；吸收”。根据关键字squirms可以定位到第四段Dinnersquirmsinthedaughters’stomachs.Nowcomesthatwhat-if-I-threw-up-right-this-second?（晚餐在女儿们的胃里蠕动着。现在感受到了“如果我现在就吐出来”吗?）可以推测squirms是蠕动的意思，因此C选项符合题意。

4.【试题答案】C

【试题解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段Thefatherisnotspared.Thevolcanicmothersavessomeupjustforhim.“Fuckinglousyhusband.Do-nothingfather.”Andonlikethatforanhourorsomore.Theninthedarkestpartofthenight,it’sbarefeetandcoolhandsonasmallsweatyforehead.Kissesandcaressesand“SorryMomgotalittlemad.”（父亲没有幸免。易怒的母亲转而对父亲生气：“他妈的糟糕的丈夫。懒惰的父亲。”就这样持续了一个多小时。然后，在夜晚最黑暗的时候，她会光着脚，用凉的手捂着孩子那布满汗珠的小前额。亲吻、爱抚，并说道：“对不起，妈妈有点生气了。”）得知A选项“易怒的”，B选项“懊悔的”以及D选项“不满的”可描述母亲，而C选项“和蔼可亲的”不可，因此C选项符合题意。

5.【试题答案】B

【试题解析】判断推理题。Narration即记叙文，把人物的经历和事物的发展变化过程表达出来的一种表达方式。它是写作中最基本、最常见，也是最主要的表达方式，记叙文有六要素：人物、时间、地点、事件的起因、经过和结果；Description即描述文，是对人物的外貌、动作，事物的性质、形态和景物的状貌、变化所作的具体刻画和生动描摹；Persuasion不属于表达方式；Exposition即说明文，是用简明的语言、客观而准确地解说事物或阐述事理的一种表达方式；本文不属于说明文，也没有记叙文的六要素，属于描述文，通过文章描述了一位暴躁易怒又容易懊悔的母亲的形象，以及一个压抑的家庭。因为B选项正确。

【答案】第1题:B

第2题:B

第3题:D

第4题:A

第5题:D

【解析】1.主旨大意题。文章主要介绍河流对于文明和发展的作用。因此B项“河流生命对于早期文明发展的影响”符合本文主旨大意。

2.判断推理题。题干问的是:下列哪项是美索不达米亚中供水的不可预测性所产生的社会影响?第三段指出:Sucheffortsrequiredadegreeofcooperationamongalargenumberofpeoplethathadnotpreviouslyexisted.Theindividualvillage,containingonlyadozenorsohousesandfamilies,waseconomicallyvulnerable;butwhenseveralvillages,probablyunderthedirectionsofacouncilofelders,learnedtosharetheirhumanresourcesinthebuildingofcoordinatednetworkofwater-controlsystems,thesafety,stability,andprosperityofallimproved.Inthisnewcooperation,theseedsofthegreatMesopotamiancivilizationswerebeingsown(这种努力需要大量人员的前所未有的合作。只有十几户家庭的小村庄容易受到经济冲击，但是在年长村民的指导下，这些村庄可能会学着在建立协调的水治理系统中进行人力资源共享，这吋候乡村的安全和稳定性以及繁荣度都得到了提升。在新的合作下，美索不达米亚的文明之种正被播散开来)。故选B“它激发了水资源管理体系创新的相互合作”。

3.细节事实题。通过题干关键词geometers定位至第四段:Similarly,theearliestmethodsofmeasurementandcomputationandthefirstdevelopmentsingeometrywerestimulatedbytheneedtokeeptrackoflandholdingsandboundariesinfieldsthatwereperiodicallyinundated(同样，早期的测量和估算方法，以及几何学的初期发展，都是因为需要记录土地的所有权和记录被周期性淹没的土地边界范围而刺激发展的。因此，最初几何学主要是为了记录土地的所有权和实际情况而发展的)。故选D“土地所有者”。

4.判断推理题。题干为:中东地区的复杂文明的出现主要依赖于之前的哪项的发展？第一段指出:AstheclimateintheMiddleEastchanged...JedtoamorecomplexandadvancedfromofcivilizationinbothEuphratesriversinMesopotamiabecamedrier,producingriver-sidelandsthatwerebothhabitableandfertile,andattractingsettlersarmedwiththenewlydevelopedtechniqueofagriculture(随着中东地区的气候变化，出现的状况导致了复杂和先进的文明形式。……当美索不达米亚的幼发拉底河变得更干旱后，产生了宜居且肥沃的河岸土地，并且吸引了拥有先进农业技术的移民。即中东地区的先进文明的发展有依靠农业技术的支持),故选A“基本的农业技术”。

5.作者意图题。题干为:作者谈及印度和中国的文明出现主要是为了强调什么？根据题干定位至最后一段:Similardevelopmentswereoccurringatmuchthesametimealongthegreatrivervalleysinotherpartsoftheworld—forexample,alongtheIndusinIndiaandHwangHoinChina(同吋，世界其他地方也有沿大河而居所产生的类似的发展，比如：印度西北部河流，中国的黄河)。因此,文章中谈及印度和中国，是为了说明河流同样在这些国家的发展中起到的作用,因此D项“在世界各地人类文化的发展中，河流发挥关键的作用”正确。

8.单选题

）bythefactthathehadneverbeentocollege.

问题1选项

A.prevented

B.restrained

C.hindered

D.refrained

【答案】C

【解析】考察动词词义辨析。prevent“防止”；restrain“抑制，阻止”；hinder“阻碍”；refrain“抑制，自制，避免”。句意：他的事业没有因为他没上过大学而受到明显的障碍。选项C符合题意。

【答案】第1题:B

第2题:C

第3题:A

第4题:D

【解析】第1题:1.根据第一段倒数第三句“forthesakeofpeaceandsecurity...weareplayingitsafe.”为了和平与安全,我们同意善待彼此——不是因为我们想这样做,而是因为我们谨慎行事。也就是说人与人之间保持和平与安全是有益的。选项B符合原文。

2.根据关键词“socialcontracttheory”定位到原文第二段,根据倒数第二句“Generally,socialcontracttheories...forthesakeofself-protection.”一般来说,社会契约理论认为,人类决定建立一个有规则的社会是为了公共利益或自我保护。选项C符合原文。

3.根据关键词“MotherTeresa”定位到第三段最后三句,心理利己主义者认为他们可能没有意识到自己的真实动机,但从某种程度上来说,他们是自私的。这些人可能是想上天堂,为过去的错误行为赎罪,或者他们只是想感受内心的温暖。选项A符合原文。

4.根据最后一段倒数第二句“Suchradicalcynicism...psychologicalegoistsareproneto.”这种极端的犬儒主义不允许善良和善良存在的可能性,这是心理利己主义者容易犯的错误之一。也就是说他们很极端,容易怀疑他人,所以选项D正确。

【答案】B

【解析】【选项释义】

A.on在……之上B.up向上

C.at在D.out向外

【答案】A

【干扰项排除】B、C、D选项均不符合搭配。

【句意】善于探究的人能很快理解一个新观点。
