【答案】第1题:C

第2题:C

第3题:B

第4题:A

第5题:C

【解析】1.细节推断题。根据第一段的内容可知，有人认为，学校变得官僚化，忽视他们成立的目的。选项C符合原文。选项B中的教育成本高在文中没有提及，所以不正确。

2.语义题。根据第四段的内容可知，schoolcommunity包括consumers和teachers。再根据第二段的内容可知，schoolcommunity还包括students和parents，也就是consumers，所以选项C正确。

3.细节事实题。根据第四段倒数第二句“free-markettheorymaymissthemarkbyconcentratingononlyonesection,“theconsumers”.”自由市场理论可能只关注“消费者”这一部分而没有切中要害。而这个要害即下文提到的“teachers”,所以选项B符合原文。

4.细节推断题。根据最后一段最后一句，尽管自由市场理论认为个人应该被允许追求自己的目标，但它们必须解释为什么任何一套价值观，包括他们自己的价值观，都比另一套更可取。也就是说，自由市场理论没有解释为什么自己的价值观比别人的好。选项A符合原文。

5.语义题。原文最后一段最后一句即是对“chargeofrelativism”的解释。由此可以看出，自由市场理论的价值观太自私，所以选项C正确。

3.单选题

Scientistshopethecollisionwillproducealargecraterinthecomet’ssurfaceinordertorevealthecoreandgivesome______totheoriginofthesolarsystem.

问题1选项

A.sources

B.interpretations

C.clues

D.observations

【答案】C

【解析】考查名词辨析。A项source“来源，水源，原始资料”，B项interpretation“解释，翻译，演出”，C项clue“线索，（故事等的）情节”，D项observation“观察，监视，观察报告”。根据givesome______totheoriginofthesolarsystem“为太阳系的起源提供一些……”可知，“线索”符合语境。句意：科学家们希望这次碰撞将在彗星表面产生一个巨大的陨石坑，以便揭示其核心，并为太阳系的起源提供一些线索。因此，该题选择C项正确。

4.填空题

【答案】1.used

2.separated

3.a

4.of

5.rest

【解析】1.固定搭配。usedtobe曾经是。

2.固定搭配。beseparatedfrom与……分离

3.语法分析。此处填不定冠词a,表示“一个”。

4.语义题。Hasapopulationof后面接具体人数表示“有…人”。

5.语义题。Rest其余的。

5.单选题

England’steam,whoarenowsuperblyfit,willbedoingtheirbestnextweekto（）themselvesforlastyeardefeat.

问题1选项

A.revive

B.resort

C.remedy

D.revenge

【答案】D

【解析】句意:现在的英格兰队踌躇满志，决心在下周的比赛中全力以赴，以雪去年失败之耻。

考查动词辨析。revive（使）苏醒，复活，重新使用；resort与to构成搭配resorttosth.诉诸于…；remedy改正，纠正；revenge报仇,雪耻。故D正确。

6.单选题

Electricalresistanceisacommonpropertyofallmaterials____.

问题1选项

A.onlydiffersindegree

B.onlyindegreeitdiffers

C.differingonlyindegree

D.anddifferingindegreeonly

【答案】C

【解析】【选项释义】

A.onlydiffersindegree只是程度不同B.onlyindegreeitdiffers只是程度不同

C.differingonlyindegree只是程度不同D.anddifferingindegreeonly只是程度不同

【答案】C

【考查点】非谓语动词

【解题思路】空格处前面为一个主系表结构完整的句子，主语为“电阻”，系动词为“是”，表语为“所有材料的共同特性”；并且原句没有连词或从句引导词，所以该句并不是并列句或复合句。因此，空格处为句子的状语，此处为动词的现在分词做伴随状语，C选项differingonlyindegree符合要求。

【干扰项排除】

A选项onlydiffersindegree，动词的三人称单数为谓语形式，缺少连词或从句引导词；

B选项onlyindegreeitdiffers，动词的三人称单数为谓语形式，缺少连词或从句引导词；

D选项anddifferingindegreeonly，有连词and，不应该使用非谓语动词（现在分词形式differing）。

【句意】电阻是所有材料的共同特性，只是不同的材料的阻力大小不同。

7.翻译题

【答案】【参考译文】同伴教学是一种对受教者和施教者的学习都有改进的有效方法，没有人怀疑这种策略在课堂里满足个人需求的价值。然而，要想让同伴辅导提高学习效果，仅仅把学生配对是不够的。

虽然你可能每天在你的课堂里使用非正式的辅导实践（例如，要一位学生去帮助另一位学生解决问题），但是建立一个正式的辅导课程却需要更复杂的设计。下面的策略可以帮助您在课堂里创建并维持一个有效的辅导课程。与大多数的倡议一样，如果您能与大楼管理员和其他教师共同去建立一个全校性的辅导课程，那么您将能够更成功地满足所有学生的需求。

通常，培训是小规模的，并且包括建模的基本指令，提示来自受教者的回应，使用矫正反馈和称赞/强化，交替教学方法和材料（如使用多感官的方式），记录和报告进展。如果这是一次全校性的倡议，那么将辅导作为部分课外服务活动的课堂老师，甚至家长或辅导专职人员都可以训练学生。

【解析】考查动词辨析。A项revolve“使……旋转”，B项revolt“反抗”，C项revoke“撤回”，D项revive“使复兴”。根据句子意思“获得全年销售烟花许可的商店将需要一份许可证，如果必要，地方当局将有权……该许可证。”可推测，空格部分表示“吊销，撤销”，C项最符合。句意：获得全年销售烟花许可的商店将需要一份许可证，如果必要，地方当局将有权吊销该许可证。因此，该题选择C项正确。

【答案】第1题:D

第2题:B

第3题:A

第4题:A

第5题:B

【解析】1.推理判断题。定位到文章第一段，“在实验室里一起工作的一组研究人员将把他们的研究结果提交给一家杂志。然后，期刊编辑会从论文中删除作者的姓名和所属机构，并将其发送给他们的同行进行审阅。根据收到的评论，编辑可以接受或拒绝发表。版权归期刊出版商所有，而想要了解研究结果的研究人员必须订阅该期刊”。由此可知作者说明的是传统的出版常规流程，因此选项D正确。

2.事实细节题。定位到文章第二段，Butitgoesfurtherthanthat.Itsignalsachangeinwhathas,untilnow,beenakeyelementofscientificendeavor.但它还不止于此。它标志着迄今出版一直是科学努力的一个关键因素的改变。OECD说明了一系列有限的方式方法，包括后文提到的在线期刊的方式，因此选项B正确。

3.推理判断题。定位到文章最后一段，介绍的是线上出版的几个方式，相对于传统形式的同行评论过程更加的简便。因此选项A正确。

4.事实细节题。定位到文章最后一段，Thereisopen-accesspublishing,typicallysupportedbyaskingtheauthor(orhisemployer)topayforthepapertobepublished.一种是开放存取出版，典型的支持方式是要求作者(或其雇主)为发表的论文付费。因此选项A符合题意。

5.主旨大意题。整篇文章都是在以客观的角度来介绍新的出版方式，没有表露作者的观点，因此选项C排除；文章没有从传统出版商的角度来表示互联网是一种威胁，排除选项A；文章并没有深入展示在线服务会使出版更容易这个话题，排除选项D。

16.单选题

Wearedealingwithtwodifferentperspectivesthat（）,intersect,butdon’tseemtoyieldasynthesis.

问题1选项

A.overrun

B.overlap

C.overwork

D.overuse

【答案】B

【解析】句意:我们正在处理有部分重叠、交叉却似乎不能生成综合体的两种不同的透视图。

考查动词辨析。Overrun泛滥，横行，肆虐，多用(时间、钱财等)，超时;overlap部分重叠，部分地同时发生;overwork工作过度;overuse使用……过度（或过久）。由题干中关键信息"intersect交叉”可知“部分重叠”符合。

17.单选题

Thereportincludesataleofhowanhonorablemanpursuinghonorablegoalswasafflictedwith（）andledhisnationtowardscatastrophe.

问题1选项

A.pride

B.humility

C.gratification

D.hubris

【答案】D

【解析】考查名词辨析。A选项pride“自豪，傲慢”；B选项humility“谦逊”；C选项gratification“满意，喜悦”；D选项hubris“狂妄自大”。句意：这个报告包括了一个故事，的是一个高贵的人是如何追求崇高的目标，却由于狂妄自大而受到折磨，从而使他的国家走向灾难。选项D符合语境。

【答案】第1题:B

第2题:D

第3题:D

第4题:B

第5题:A

【解析】第1题:细节事实题。题干意思是“要变得‘21世纪’，作者决定……”。文章第三段第一句提到Butifmyclothingistoocharacteristictochange,perhapsIshoulddosomethingaboutmylifestyle.（但如果我的服装太有特色而无法改变，也许我应该改变一下我的生活方式），由此可知B项“改变生活方式”符合题意。A项“搬进一个新房子”，文章最后一段提到There’sonlyoneproblem:Thecostyouarelookingat£18.000to£25,000foranaveragehome.（只有一个问题：一套普通住宅的成本大概在1.8万至2.5万英镑之间），由此可知作者搬进一个新房子的可能性不是很大；C项“改善着装风格”，文章作者提到服装太有特色而无法改变，所以C项错误；D项“以最时髦的方式交谈”文章没有提及。故该题选B正确。

第2题:细节推断题。题干意思是“作者对真空吸尘器的评论暗示着……”。根据题干定位到第三段第五句Orvacuumcleanersthatsuckduststraightintoadustbin,viaasystemofpipesinyourhousewalls?(Allyouhavetodoisrebuildyourentirehome.)（真空吸尘器是通过墙壁上的管道系统将灰尘直接吸进垃圾箱吗？你所要做的就是重建你的整个家），由此可知，要安装这个吸尘器还要把房子重新建造一遍，作者认为这个耗时又耗力，所以D项“觉得不值得这么做”符合题意。A项“相信真空吸尘器没有用处”，文章作者没有说这个吸尘器没有用处；B项“想要自己买一个”，内容与原文相反；C项“讨厌制造麻烦”为干扰项，根据原文中的内容，作者不是觉得吸尘器麻烦，而是觉得为了一个吸尘器来重建房子不值得。故该题选D正确。

第3题:细节事实题。题干意思是“作者认为最具革命性的智能家居技术是什么？”。第四段最后两句提到Buttherealrevolutionhashappenedinthebathroom.Neveragainneedyoufeelcutofffromworldeventsasyougoaboutyourwashing.ForgetthemirrorsthatturnintoTVscreens…Thebuzzinbathroomsnowisallaboutheatedtowel-racksthatturnintoTVs.（但真正的革命发生在浴室；当你洗衣服的时候，你再也不需要感觉与世界事件隔绝了；忘掉那些变成电视屏幕的镜子吧；现在浴室里的话题都是加热毛巾架变成电视），由此可知D项“可以变成电视的加热毛巾架”正确；C项“可以变成电视屏幕的镜子”错误；A项“等离子电视壁炉”，根据At65,280,itwouldbeapitytohaveitbroken.（65,280英镑，如果它坏了就太可惜了）可知，作者觉得等离子电视壁炉太贵，A项不选；B项“花园自动洒水器”，第三段最后一句提到Ofcourse,youcouldjustlookoutofthewindow,observethatit’srainingandturnthemoffyourself,butthatwouldbeso20thcentury.（当然，你可以看着窗外，看到正在下雨，然后自己把洒水器关掉，但那是20世纪的事了），由此可知，B项也不正确。故该题选D正确。

第4题:推理判断题。题干意思是“智能家居展……”。第三段第二句提到SolastweekItookmyselftotheNECfortheSmartHomeShowwhichis“theexhibitiondedicatedtoallthelatesttrendsinsmarthometechnology”.Itwasashock.（所以上周我带自己去NEC参加智能家居展，这是一个“致力于智能家居技术最新趋势的展览”，太令人震惊了），接着第四段和第五段都是智能家居展览中的一些智能家居的应用，根据作者对例子的表述和作者的语气可知B项“让作者大开眼界”符合题意。A项“看起来太好以至于不真实”，作者只是提到了很贵，所以A项错误；C项“给作者留下了负面的印象”和D项“对中老年人吸引力较小”内容与原文相反。故该题选B正确。

第5题:观点态度题。题干意思是“作者对购买智能家居产品有什么看法？”。根据文章最后一段Enough!Iwasconvinced:Iwantasmarthome.There’sonlyoneproblem:Thecostyouarelookingat£18.000to£25,000foranaveragehome.（够了！我被说服了：我想要一个智能家居；但只有一个问题：一套普通住宅的成本大概在1.8万至2.5万英镑之间）可知，作者对智能家居很感兴趣，但是价格太昂贵了，所以A项“他很感兴趣，但觉得太贵了”正确。B项“他被迷住了，决定买下它们”和C项“他没有兴趣，也不会买”内容与原文不符；D项“他不能肯定，所以他宁愿等着瞧”，文章中作者没有提到要等着瞧，D项错误。故该题选A正确。

）hersenseofwhimsywhenpaintingit.

问题1选项

A.suppress

B.inspire

C.satisfy

D.provoke

【答案】A

【解析】考查动词词义辨析。suppress“抑制；废止”；inspire“激发；鼓舞”；satisfy“满足”；provoke“激怒”。句意：尽管她将斗牛视为严肃的事情，但在用绘画形式表现它时，她并没有让敬意遏制自己的奇思异想。由Asseriousassheisaboutthebullfight及notallowrespect可知“抑制”符合语境。As在句中表让步关系。
