I.阅读理解。A本文是一篇记叙文。Guzmán是斯坦福大学的一名学生,一次表演经历让他爱上了表演,并决定努力提升自己的表演能力,他还憧憬通过自己的专业去改变世界。1.B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“oh,thisiswhatitfeelsliketodosomethingyoulove.”ThatwasthemomentIfellinlovewithacting可知,Guzmán的表演经历鼓励他走上了学习表演的道路。2.D细节理解题。根据第三段中的Todevelopcomedywritingskillsoutsidetheclassroom,GuzmánjoinedtheRobberBarons可知,Guzmán加入RobberBarons是为了提升自己的写作技巧。3.A段落大意题。根据第四段内容可知,本段主要讲到了Guzmán接下来的打算。4.C推理判断题。根据文章内容和最后一段中的Obviously,it'sacliché(陈词滥调)tosay...that'sawesome.可知,Guzmán是一个有雄心的人。B本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了标点符号到底是有用的还是多余的。5.A写作目的题。根据第一段最后一句以及下文由此展开的具体论述可知,本文的目的是讨论标点符号到底是有用的还是多余的。6.D细节理解题。根据第一段第一句可知,Aristophanes发明了一套符号系统来分解文字材料,再根据第二段中的JonathanPierce所表述的标点符号的诸多作用可知,他们都认为标点符号是必不可少的。7.C推理判断题。根据画线部分的下一句可知,画线部分的作用是展示词才是句子的重要部分而不是词之间的符号,由此可推知画线部分的作用就是作为例子来证明下一句表述的观点。8.A推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Itistheorderinwhichthewordsappearthatconveysthemeaning,notthepunctuationmarks.可知,KellyJones认为是词的顺序影响具体意义,而不是标点符号,她认为标点符号对意义无影响。而A项表述的标点符号丰富了语言本身,增加了语言表达的效果的观点和KellyJones的观点相悖。9.C主旨大意题。本文的主要内容就是关于上大学的好处,所以选C。rubknees/shoulders/elbowswithsb.与某人接触10.B推理判断题。本文是通过列举上大学的原因而展开论述的。11.C推理判断题。本题中A、B、D三项都在文章中有涉及,只有C项没有涉及。12.D推理判断题。根据第一段Teachersarehavinglessons…todealwithbadbehaviourintheclassroom.可知,这些课程的主要目的是提高课堂管理。13.B推理判断题。根据第三段中的Teachersareencouragedtocopyachild'sgestures以及第四段的举例可推断,如果一名男生把头歪到一边,那么老师也应该这样做。14.C推理判断题。根据DaveVizard在文中说的Matchingbodylanguage…youngpersons'eyes可知,他是NLP的支持者。15.A细节理解题。根据最后一段They…arethenreplacedwiththenextbigthing.可知,
