10．against【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是通过对猴子，老虎及鸟类的研究，研究人员提出了对“我们是地球上唯一会说话和思考的物种”的观点的质疑。1．考查主语从句。句意：纵观历史，我们是地球上唯一会说话和思考的物种，这一直是人类的骄傲。分析句子可知，句中it是形式主语，空处引导主语从句，从句成分和意义都完整，应用that引导从句。故填that。2．考查非谓语。句意：圣安德鲁斯大学心理学家祖伯布勒（Zuberbuhler）和他的同事们记录了Diana的猴子发出的数千个叫声，并注意到猴子会调整它们的叫声，以改变其含义，从而警告对方不同的情况。分析句子可知，此空应填非谓语，再根据句意可知，应填不定式作目的状语。故填towarn。3．考查时态语态。句意：研究人员发现，类似的叫声会被其他物种识别，比如Campbell猴。分析句子可知，此空应填谓语动词，且thesamecalls和recognize为被动关系，主句为一般过去时，从句可用一般过去时，表示陈述过去的事实，也可用过去将来时，表示站在过去看将来。故填wouldberecognized/wererecognized。4．考查主语从句。句意：同样令人惊讶的是，在鸟类身上发现了智力的迹象，长期以来，人们认为鸟类的小大脑是智力的完全障碍。分析句子可知，这里考查主语从句，且从句中缺主语，指物，应用连接代词what引导从句。故填What。5．考查定语从句。句意：同样令人惊讶的是，在鸟类身上发现了智力的迹象，长期以来，人们认为鸟类的小大脑是智力的完全障碍。分析句子可知，这里考查定语从句，先行词为birds，在从句中作定语修饰smallbrains，应用关系代词whose引导从句。故填whose。6．考查定语从句。句意：几年前，麻省理工学院的艾琳·佩珀伯格（IrenePepperberg）教一只鹦鹉识别并数到六个物体，如果鸟类不能记住东西，这是不可能实现的。分析句子可知，这里考查非限制性定语从句，从句中缺主语，先行词为上文整个句子的内容，故用关系代词which引导从句。故填which。7．考查时态语态。句意：这是首次在非人类身上观察到这种行为。本句考查Itwasthefirsttimethat...haddonesth表“这是……第一次做某事”，为固定句型，且主语suchbehaviour和observe是被动关系。故填hadbeenobserved。8．考查非谓语。句意：在一项实验中，七只乌鸦成功地用三种不同长度的棍子抓住了一块放在够不到的地方的食物。分析句子可知，此空应填非谓语，且apieceoffood和place为被动关系，再根据句意可知，这里应用过去分词作后置定语成分。故填placed。9．考查非谓语。句意：至关重要的是，它们能够在没有任何特殊训练的情况下完成这项任务，这表明鸟类能够进行通常只与人类相关的抽象推理。分析句子可知，这里应填非谓语，且前面这件事和suggest(表明)为主动关系，再根据句意可知，这里应填现在分词作状语。故填suggesting。10．考查介词。句意：所有这些都是有力的证据，反对人是独一无二的这种观点。分析句子可知，此空应填介词，再根据句意可知，应填against，表“与……相反；反对”。故填against。评卷人得分二、词汇填空Directions:Fillineachblankwithaproperwordchosenfromthebox.Eachwordcanonlybeusedonce.Notethatthereisonewordmorethanyouneed.A．timidity

35．D【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在申请大学的过程中，父母要意识到考上好大学并不是人生的全部。需要合理化给孩子的压力，以让孩子在适应社会竞争的同时更好的成长。21．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我们把孩子们的大学背景视为一种奖品，证明我们把他们抚养得有多好。A.prize奖品；B.potential潜能；C.degree程度；D.surprise惊喜。根据前文“Inthecollegeadmissionswar,weparentsarethetruefighters.”和“I’vetwicebeentothewars,andasIsurveythebattlefield,somethingdifferentishappening.”可知，作者把申请大学比喻成一场战争，而为自己的子女申请到了好的大学就是赢得战争的奖赏。且后文“Wehaveafull-blownprestigepanic:weworrythattherewon’tbeenoughprizestogoaround.”中有prize，为原词复现。故选A项。22．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：但我们不愿意承认，我们的痴迷更多是为了我们自己而不是他们。A.ready准备好了的；B.reluctant不情愿的；C.anxious焦虑的；D.proud自豪的。根据前文“Weseeourkids’collegebackgroundasaprizedemonstratinghowwellwe’veraisedthem.”可知，作者意识到，父母因为申请到了好的大学而感到开心主要是为了证明自己把孩子培养的很好，忽略了孩子的主观能动性，所以可以推出家长们是不愿意、不想承认。故选B项。23．考查名词词义辨析。句意：所以我们想出了各种各样的借口，结果是半真半假的偏见或神话。A.possibilities可能性；B.advantages优势；C.promises承诺、愿望；D.excuses借口。根据后文“Itactuallydoesn’tmattermuchwhetherAaronandNicolegotoStanford.”可知，作者认为自己的孩子其实去不去斯坦福并不重要，而家长在帮孩子申请大学时努力申请藤校是为了给自己获得“奖励”找借口。故选D项。24．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：忧心忡忡的父母敦促他们的孩子申请比以往更多的学校。A.Ambitious有野心的；B.Pleased开心的；C.Helpful有帮助的；D.Fearful担心的、害怕的。根据前文“Wehaveafull-blownprestigepanic:weworrythattherewon’tbeenoughprizestogoaround.”可知，父母会恐慌、害怕。空处应与父母的情绪，即panic“恐惧”进行对应。故选D项。25．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：所有这些都值得怀疑，而且大多是错误的。A.acceptable可接受的；B.complicated复杂的；C.questionable可疑的、未必正确的；D.terrifying害怕的。根据后文“Wehaven’tfoundanyconvincingevidencethatselectivityorprestigematters.”可知，作者前文提到的观点并没有令人信服的证据，所以对于这个观点不一定是对的。故选C项。26．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：重点学校并不会系统地采用比不那么重点的学校更好的教学方法。A.investigative调查的；B.instructional教学的；C.psychological心理的；D.scientific科学的。根据后文“Ontwomeasures-professors’feedbackandthenumberofessayexams-selectiveschoolsdoslightlyworse.”可知，空处是在讨论教学方法。故选B项。27．考查动词词义辨析。句意：一些研究表明，重点学校确实能提高毕业生的终身收入。A.enhance加强、提高；B.define定义；C.guarantee保证；D.overestimate高估。根据后文“Thegainisconsideredat2-4%forevery100-pointincreaseinaschool’saverageSATscores.”可知，重点学校可以提高毕业生的终生收入。故选A项。28．考查介词短语辨析。句意：例如，一项著名的研究调查了那些进入了重点学校，然后去了其他地方的学生。A.Inaddition另外；B.Forexample例如；C.Onthecontrary相反、反之；D.Asaresult结果是。结合后文“awell-knownstudyexaminedstudentswhogotintohighlyselectiveschoolsandthenwentelsewhere.”可知，是在给前文“Buteventhisadvantageisprobablyastatisticalcoincidence.”举例子。故选B项。29．考查名词词义辨析。句意：能力比大学更重要。A.Families家庭；B.Abilities能力；C.Connections联系；D.Environments环境。根据后文“GettingintoYalemay___10___intelligence,talentandambition.Butit’snottheonlyindicatorandits___11___isdeclining.”和“Gettingintocollegeisnotlife’sonlycompetition.Inthenextcompetition-thejobmarketandgraduateschool-the___12___maychange.”可知，进不进名校不是最重要的，重要的是自己的竞争力，即能力。故选B项。30．考查动词词义辨析。句意：进入耶鲁大学可能代表着智慧、才华和雄心。A.produce生产；B.demand需求；C.represent代表；D.polish抛光。根据后文“Butit’snottheonlyindicator”中的indicator“指标”可知，空处需要填近义词，C项“代表”符合文意。故选C项。31．考查名词词义辨析。句意：但这不是唯一的指标，而且其重要性正在下降。A.requirement要求；B.significance重要性；C.challenge挑战；D.reputation名誉。根据后文“Thereason:somanysimilarpeoplegoelsewhere.Gettingintocollegeisnotlife’sonlycompetition.Inthenextcompetition-thejobmarketandgraduateschool-the___12___maychange.”可知，作者是在说明能力和提高自己的竞争力的重要性，与前文进入名校的竞争力的重要性进行对比。故选B项。32．考查名词词义辨析。句意：在接下来的竞争中——就业市场和研究生院——结果可能会发生变化。A.conflicts矛盾；B.targets目标；C.results结果；D.contacts合同。根据后文“HighscoresontheGREhelpedexplainwhogotin;degreesfromprestigiousuniversitiesdidn’t.”可知，是竞争的结果不同。故选C项。33．考查动词短语辨析。句意：所以，家长们，放松点吧。A.lightenup放轻松；B.stayback推后；C.holdon坚持；D.carryon继续。根据后文“Buttoomuchpushinesscanbedestructive.”可知，作者认为压力太大会毁了孩子。由此可以推出，作者是希望家长们放松一些。故选A项。34．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：美国是一个竞争激烈的社会；我们的孩子需要适应这一点。A.democratic民主的；B.competitive竞争的；C.diverse多元的；D.mobile移动的。根据前文“Uptoapoint,wecanrationalizeourpushiness.”、“ourkidsneedtoadjusttothat.”和后文“Buttoomuchpushinesscanbedestructive.”可知，作者是在谈论要合理化我们给孩子的压力，以让孩子在适应社会竞争的同时更好的成长。故选B项。35．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我们强加给孩子们的雄心可能会让一些人进入哈佛，但也可能会让他们失望。A.embarrassment尴尬；B.failure失败；C.inferiority劣等；D.disappointment失望。根据文章最后“Theymayhavebeensoconditionedtobeingontopthatanythinglessdisappointing.”中的disappointing可以看出，空处为原词复现，表示“失望”。故选D项。评卷人得分四、阅读理解AIt’snotalwayseasyforwealthypeopletodecidewho(orwhat)toleavetheirmoneytowhentheydieandquiteafewofthemmakesomeveryunusualchoices.Duetohervastwealth,NewYorkhotelierLeonaHeimsleywasabletoleave$12mtoherdog,Trouble.Themoneyforthedog’swelfarewasleftinthehandsofLeona’sbrother,AlvinRosenthal.Healsoinheritedmoneyfromhissister,butamazinglyhereceived$2mlessthanthedog!Leonaisn’tanexception.AccordingtotheMailOnlinenewspaper,thereareroughly1.5millionpeopleintheUKalongwhoplantoleavemoneytotheirpets.However,thereareotherextremelyrichpeoplewhohaveverydifferentideasaboutwhotheyshouldleavetheirmoneyto.BillGates,co-founderofMicrosoft,isrumouredtobeworthover$54bandhe’sdecidedtoleavethevastmajorityofthisfortunetocharitablecauses.Ofcourse,likemostotherparents,hecouldhavechosentoleavehismoneytohischildren,buthehasn’t.Whentalkingabouthischildren’sinheritancehesaid,“Itwillbeaminusculeportionofmywealth.Itwillmeantheyhavetofindtheirownway.Theywillbegivenanunbelievableeducationandthatwillbepaidfor.Andcertainlyanythingrelatedtohealthissueswewilltakecareof.Butintermsoftheirincome,theywillhavetopickajobtheylikeandgotowork.AnitaRoddick(1942-2007),founderofTheBodyShop,alsodecidedthatshedi

39．C【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了对于有钱人来说，决定在他们死后把钱留给谁并不总是容易的，他们中的相当一部分人做出了一些非常不寻常的选择，并列举了BillGates等著名人物做例子。36．推理判断题。文章第二段讲到“Leonaisn’tanexception.AccordingtotheMailOnlinenewspaper,thereareroughly1.5millionpeopleintheUKalongwhoplantoleavemoneytotheirpets.(Leona也不例外。据《在线邮报》报道，英国大约有150万人打算把钱留给宠物)”可知，作者在第一段提到英国有150万人以表明LeonaHelmsley的所作所为并不罕见。故选C。37．词句猜测题。文章第三段讲到“BillGates,co-founderofMicrosoft,isrumouredtobeworthover$54bandhe’sdecidedtoleavethevastmajorityofthisfortunetocharitablecauses.(据传闻，微软联合创始人比尔盖茨的身价超过540亿美元，他决定将这笔财富的绝大部分留给慈善事业)”可知，minuscule一词的含义和majority的意思相反，接近的意思是“极小的”。故选D。38．推理判断题。文章第三段讲到“Itwillbeaminusculeportionofmywealth.(这将是我财富的一小部分)”以及文章最后一段讲到“Itoldmykidstheywouldnotinheritonepenny(我告诉我的孩子们，他们不会继承一分钱)”可知，BillGates和AnitaRod-dick在处理钱的方式上是相似。故选A。39．主旨大意题。这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了对于有钱人来说，决定在他们死后把钱留给谁并不总是容易的，他们中的相当一部分人做出了一些非常不寻常的选择。文章第一段讲到“It’snotalwayseasyforwealthypeopletodecidewho(orwhat)toleavetheirmoneyto(决定在他们死后把钱留给谁)”以及第三段“BillGates,co-founderofMicrosoft,isrumouredtobeworthover$54bandhe’sdecidedtoleavethevastmajorityofthisfortunetocharitablecauses.(据传闻，微软联合创始人BillGates的身价超过540亿美元，他决定将这笔财富的绝大部分留给慈善事业)”可知，这篇文章的最佳标题可能是Youcan’ttakeitwithyou(生带不来,死带不去)。故选C。BPersonalRobotMakeyourparentsandteachershappy!Areyouhavingproblemsfinishyourhomeworkontime?Doyouavoidtidyingyourroomuntilyourmomshoutsatyou?Youdon’tneedtoworryifyoubuyaMr.HelpingHandpersonalrobot.Mr.Hcanbeprogrammedtoorganizeyourhomework.Yourownpersonalrobotwillfollowyouaround,puttingawaybooksandobjectsthatyouhaveleftonthefloororbed.Mr.Halsohasthesefeatures:weightsonly500gramsincludeslong-lastingbatteriescomeswitha5-yearguaranteerememberssimpleinstructionsOriginallysoldfor$499NOWONLY$299BUYNOWWATCHCONTROLThisisawatchthatJamesBondwouldbeproudtowear!ThisisNOTawatchforordinarypeople!YourelectronicPENGOWATCHCONTROL

46．C【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了Facebook将新闻可信度托付给广大用户，通过用户反馈对新闻媒体进行排名，从而提高新闻的客观性。43．细节理解题。根据第四段关键句“Ratherthanmovetowardbecomingahands-ongatekeeperofnews,Facebooknowhopesits“diverseandrepresentative”samplingofuserscanleadtoarankingofnewsoutletsandthatwouldbringameasureofobjectivityinitsnewsfeed.Thecompanymaybeinthenewsbusiness,butithaschosentooutsourcenewscredibilitytothecollectivewisdomofindividualsandtheirabilitytodistinguishtruthfromfalsehood.”（Facebook现在希望其“多样化和具有代表性”的用户抽样能够对新闻媒体进行排名，从而在其新闻提要中体现客观性，而不是成为一个实际的新闻守门人。该公司可能从事新闻业务，但它选择将新闻可信度外包给个人的集体智慧和辨别真假的能力。）可知，Facebook决定将新闻可信度托付给个人的集体智慧和辨别真假的能力，由此可知，根据第4段，Facebook希望将新闻可信度托付给广大用户。故选D项。44．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“AccordingtothelatestsurveyoftrustininstitutionsworldwidebyEdelmancommunicationsfirm,“mediahasbecometheleast-trustedinstitutionforthefirsttimemoresothanotherbusinessesorgovernment”.(根据爱德曼传播公司关于全球机构信任度的最新调查，“媒体首次超过其他企业或政府，成为最不受信任的机构”)”和““Nothingcannowbebelievedwhichisseeninanewspaper”,wroteThomasJefferson
