解析：1．细节理解题。根据MachuPicchu中theforceofnaturalerosionhavebeenacceleratedbytourismandthislandmarkfacessevereinfluencefromincreasingfoottraffic,旅游业加速了自然侵蚀的力量,这座地标面临着日益增长的步行交通的严重影响。可知,旅游业给该地带来了破坏,即带来了沉重的生存负担,故选B．

2．细节理解题。根据thegreatbarrierreef,部分的Hiddenfromviewbeneaththewaves隐藏在海浪下看不见。可知,该地可能需要游客潜入水中,才能享受其美景,故选C．

3．推理判断题。根据Venice部分中的Thiscitywilldisappearbackintothewateratanevenfasterrate,?MACHUPICCHU部分中的ThefutureofMACHUPICCHUremainsuncertain．(这座城市将以更快的速度消失在水中,马丘比丘的未来仍然不确定)和GlacierNationalPark部分中的Theglaciersthatarepartofthebeautyofthisnationallandmarkwilldisappearentirelyinthenexttwodecades(作为这座国家地标的一部分,冰川将在未来20年内完全消失)以及TheGreatBarrierReef部分的Thegreatbarrierreefhasbeenrapidlydyingoff(大堡礁正在迅速消失)可推知,这几处旅游胜地的共同点是他们都濒临消失,文章第1段的内容也是暗示,故选C．答案：4．B;5．A;6．B;7．C

解析：4．推断题。由划线部分定位到文章第1段横线前,再根据横线前说到他双目失明、有精神缺陷并且有自闭症,他看不见、无法像正常人一样学习也无法与人沟通,可知他很难有机会可以成为一个成功人士,并且文中没有提到疾病无法治愈,没有否定他学习音乐的能力,也没有提到他无法见到他人,可以排除ACD选项,所以选择B。

5．细节题。由题干savantsyndrome可定位到第3段破折号后,解释说明是什么样的condition--有精神缺陷但是在某一方面非常天赋,所以选择A。

6．细节题。根据distinguish可知要找到他与众不同的方面,可以直接定位到第3段hasneverseen…likeTod,并且在后问提到大多数musicalsavant是simplyrepeatingtunes,但是Tod可以comeupwithhisowntunes而不是只靠memorization,所以他与众不同的关键是有创造力,所以选择B。

7．细节题。根据题文同序原则,可推断该篇最后一题的定位信息会出现在最后一段。根据最后一段可知,Tod学习jazzpiano并且从着名的音乐学院毕业,他被家人鼓励去向全世界表演自己的音乐,并且文中没有提到他的恢复和治愈,BD选项无中生有,文中也没提到过他是一种严重疾病的案例,排除A,所以选择C。答案：8．C;9．D;10．A;11．A

解析：8．细节题。题干问文章开头提及的问题是什么?定位到Para1&2,P1结尾"Andthisiscreatingaproblemthattechnologycan'tfix",视频会议导致了一个科技无法解决的问题。P2开头:这个问题是一个事实,我们现在社交上还没有进化到能够忍受长期分离的地步。故选择C选项,社交距离。

9．细节题。题干问第四段的this指的是什么事实?定位到第四段的this的前一句,这里提到人们笑的原因是当周围的其他人笑时,大部分人也忍不住一起笑。而这个笑的原因也就是为什么喜剧节目经常使用预录的罐头笑声。故选择D选项,人们在人群中会更容易笑。

10．主旨题。题干问第五段的大意是什么?定位到P5,本段大意:承接P4,笑不仅仅是一个行为现象。当我们笑时,身体会产生两种关键的化学物质,帮助我们缓解疼痛,感到愉悦,提高学习、动力、专注力。事实上,笑和工作时的高动机和高效率有关。B选项,笑是如何使得我们身体健康,此处的physically不够准确,更应该是mentally。同时,结合上文章背景工作,故选择A选项,为什么笑对工作很重要。

11．细节题。题干问作者在后续更可能讨论什么?定位到P6,作为团队领导,为了使你的队员保持健康且高效,你应该使他们多笑减压。故而选A,在团队中产生微笑的具体步骤。答案：12．B;13．C;14．D;15．D

解析：12．主旨题。根据全文可知,作者根据专家研究,告诉大家"穿袜子睡觉有助于睡眠",A广告,B生活方式,C观点/评价,D热点话题,该文章最可能出现在生活方式板块,因此选择B。

13．细节题。根据题干中的whatchangedoeswarmfeetbringtothebody把答案定位在第4、5段。根据第4段warmingthefeetbeforegoingtosleepusingawarmfootbathorbywearingsockspromotesbloodvesselwidening,whichinturnlowersthebody'scoretemperature。可以排除B选项,并确定选C选项。根据第5段Thewarm-sensitiveneuronsinthebrainbecomemoreactivewhenthere'satemperaturedifferencebetweenthebody'scoreandthefeet．．．theseneuronsbecomemoreactiveaswegetsleepyandslowdownaswewakeup,可以排除A选项A。D选项无中生有,原文没有提到bloodpressure。可知答案选C。

14．细节题。根据题干中的brain'swarm-sensitiveneurons把答案定位在第5段。根据theseneuronsbecomemoreactiveaswegetsleepyandslowdownaswewakeup,sothatwarmingupthefeetbeforebedtimemaygivethemanextradrive,makingyoufeelsleepier,可知答案为D。

15．细节题。根据最后一段,A选项并不是thesmallstudy的结果。根据special"sleepingsocks"notonlyspedupthecomingofsleep,butincreasedoverallsleeptimebyanaverageof30minutesandcutnighttimewakingepisodesinhalf,排除B选项、C选项。选择D选项。答案：16-20GDAEB解析：(1)G．联系下文题。根据下文:It'snotjustpoliticianswhomakeuslaugh,butanyonewhosejobistotellotherpeoplewhattodoandwhotakesthemselvestooseriously．让我们开怀大笑的不仅仅是政客,还有那些工作就是告诉别人该怎么做的人,还有那些把自己看得太重的人。G选项中的powerfulandimportantpeople指后面的politicians,以及那些可把自己看得太重的人,知G选项:对英国人来说,权势显赫的人往往是笑柄。意思相符,故选G．(2)D．语境判断题。根据上下文:Welaughatauthority,butalsosympatheticallylaughwithanyonewhowethinkistreatedbadly…Ourclownsareoftensillypeopledoingsillythings-MrBean,forexample．我们嘲笑权威,但也要同情地和我们认为受到不好对待的人一起笑。…我们的小丑通常是做傻事的傻子,例如,憨豆先生,D选项中的they,指的是上文的"anyonewhowethinkistreatedbadly．"可知D选项:我们知道他们赢不了,但如果他们有时赢了,那就更有趣了。意思相符,故选D．(3)A．联系下文题。根据下文:"It'sabitwindytoday"wemightsayinthemiddleofatyphoon,在台风中,我们可能说"就有点风",可知我们是淡化问题,所以A选项:此外,我们倾向于淡化事情。意思相符,故选A．(4)E．推理判断题。根据上面的例子:"There'saslightproblem,"whensomethinghasgoneveryseriouslywrong．当事情变得非常严重的时候,我们可能说"有一个小问题,"可知英国人不会表达那些极端的感情,所以E选项:英国人不会表达极端的感情,我们只是"保持冷静,继续前进"。意思相符,故选E．(5)B．联系上文题。根据上文:AnotherthingthatcanmakeitdifficulttounderstandBritishhumoristhatwedon'talwayslaughorevensmilewhenwesaysomethingfunny．另一个很难理解英国式幽默的原因是,当我们说一些有趣的事情时,我们并不总是笑,甚至不笑。可知B选项:即使在开玩笑的时候,我们也经常保持一副严肃的样子。意思相符,故选B．答案：21．A;22．C;23．D;24．A;25．B;26．D;27．A;28．C;29．A;30．C;31．D;32．B;33．C;34．D;35．B

解析：21．?A错误的,B正确的,C合理的,D难以相信的,根据上下文"大部分人认为他们没有想象力",和"每个人都有想象力"可知,此处形成了对比,所以作者想表达的是他们的想法应该是错误的,故A正确．

22．本题句意为:"但是一旦我们成为大人,我们大多数忘记了如何……它"A项,fitinwith"适应"．B项,becomeawareof"意识到"．C项,makeuseof"利用"．D项,keeptrackof"跟踪"．,分析选项并根据but(但是)以及adult(成人)可以推知,长大后我们一般是不知该怎么利用想象力．故C正确．

23．本题句意为:创造力不总是和伟大的艺术品或想法……．A装配,B比较,C胜任,D相关,beconcernedwith相关,固定搭配且符合句意,故D正确．

24．本题句意为:人们在工作中和自由时间内……地认为创造力可以解决问题．A常规地,B熟练地,C明显地,D突然地,分析选项并根据常识:人们应该是常规的、普遍的认为创造力可以解决问题,故A正确．

25．本题句意为:"它涉及到采取……的想法并找到它们的联系．"A相关的,B不相关的,C创造的,D有想象力的,根据后一句(试图找到他们之间的联系)可知应该是不相关的想法之间找到联系,故B正确．

26．A展现,B标记,C表明,D联系,根据语义"写下所有与蜡烛……的东西",此段都是在讲寻求事物或者想法之间的联系,故此空应为和蜡烛有关的东西,故D正确．

27．结合上文中Writedownalltheideas(写下所有的想法)可知前后形成对应,因此此处应当是在说把想法和你要做的工作联系起来．idea意为"想法",符合文意．assessment意为"评估",arrangement意为"安排",practice意为"实践",均不符合文意．

28．结合句意,所以想象一下,你想给朋友买一份原创的……;你可以给他买一张比赛的票,或者带他出去过夜．present意为"礼物",符合文意,item意为"项目",service意为"服务",object意为"对象",均不符合文意．

29．结合句意,想象一下正常的限制不……．exist意为"存在",符合文意,occur意为"发生",operate意为"操作",change意为"改变",均不符合文意．

30．结合文章第五段倒数第二句Now…thistoreality．可知前后形成对应,因此此处应当是在说想想你的目标和新的可能性．possibility意为"可能",符合文意．tendency意为"倾向",limitation意为"局限性",assumption意为"假设",均不符合文意．

31．A项,asamatteroffact"事实上"．B项,inotherwords"换句话说"．C项,asawhole"作为一个整体"．D项,forinstance"例如"．结合句意,……,如果你的目标是学习滑雪,你现在可以每天练习滑雪．此处是在举例子,故forinstance符合文意．

32．结合下文MaybeyoucanpracticeskiingeverydayinDecember,oreveryMondayinJanuary．(也许你可以在十二月的每一天或者一月的每一个周一)可知前后形成对应,因此此处应当是在说现在把这个应用到现实中去．apply意为"应用",符合文意．devote意为"致力于",revise意为"修改",contribute意为"贡献",均不符合文意．

33．结合句意,从……一个角度看形势．此段是在讲换一个角度看问题,故different意为"不同的",符合文意,personal意为"个人的",global意为"全球的",positive意为"积极的",均不符合文意．

34．结合句意,小说作家常常把自己想象成书中的……．根据常识,说作家常常把自己想象成书中的人物,故character意为"人物",符合文
