【2题详解】细微环节理解题。由文章最终一段中“ThemainbenefitsoftheDroneXProareitsportability,price,cameraanditseaseofuse.(DroneXPro的主要优点是便携性、价格、摄像头和易用性)”可知，新的DroneXPro的优点有便携带和便利用户运用，故选C。【3题详解】推理推断题。文章题目为“ThisCheapDroneMightBeTheBestSellingGiftOf2024(2024年最畅销的礼物—廉价无人机)”，原文从创建缘由、工作原理和价格等方面对它进行全方位介绍来吸引顾客购买该无人机，最终一段“Theysellitforonly$99(linkhere),whichistremendouslycheapforadroneofthisquality!(他们只卖99美元（链接这里），这是特别便宜的这种质量的无人机)”有价格和购买链接，所以这是一则自拍无人机的广告，故选B。B“TheGreatGoodPlace”isashortstorybyAmericannovelistHenryJames,firstpublishedin1900.Itsthemeisthatpeopleneedaplacewheretheycanescapethegrindofdailylife.ThisisanideathatHowardSchultz,whoturnedtheStarbuckscoffeechainintoaninternationalgiant,usedinhisbusinessstrategy.Bornin1952,SchultzgrewupinBrooklyn.Afteruniversity,heworkedforafirmsupplyingcoffee-makingequipment.Shortlyafterworkingthere,SchultznoticedthatacompanyinSeattlewasbuyingasurprisinglylargeamountofthefirm'sequipment,andhedecidedtoinvestigate.Itturnedouttobeasimplecoffee-beanstore,butitsownerswerecommittedtoteachingthepublictoappreciategoodcoffee.ThisstoreinSeattleopenedin1971andtookitsnamefromStarbuck,asailorintheclassicnovelMobyDick.Itslogowasatwo-tailedmermaid.Fascinatedbyitsowners'commitmenttocoffee,SchultzjoinedStarbucks.Later,onatriptoEurope,hewasimpressedbythewaythatstreetcafésinItalywerebothmeetingpointsandplacestodrinkespresso.ThiswassomethingAmericandidn'thaveyet.In1985,Schultzstartedhisowncoffee-barbusiness,whichsoonbecameasuccess.Twoyearslater,hegottogetherwithsomeotherinvestorsandboughtStarbucksforUS$3.8million.Adoptingthenameandlogo,Schultzdevelopedamarketingstrategythatturnedordinarycafésintofashionableoutletsforcoffee.Heusedclevertricks,suchassellingcoffeein"short","tall"and"grande"sizeratherthantheusualsmall,medium,andlarge.CustomerslearnedtopronounceunfamiliarItaliannameslikelatteandmacchiato.Schultzactuallycreatedamarketthathadn'texistedbefore.Within20years,SchultzhadtakencoffeeculturefromthestreetsofEuropetoalmosteverycityindevelopedcountries.Today,millionsofpeopleaweekvisitStarbuckslocationsincountriesglobally.Clearly,thesecustomersarehappywiththe"greatgoodplace".4.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“grind”meaninparagraph1?A.boredom

thAmericaandsub-SaharanAfricaareexperiencingalossofforestonalargescale:everyyearalmost5millionhectaresarelost.”（像巴西和刚果这样的国家的森林受到了环保主义者的广泛关注，同时很简洁理解为什么南美洲和撒哈拉以南的非洲正在经验大规模的森林消逝：每年几乎有500万公顷的森林消逝。）和最终一段“ThegrowthofWesternforestsseemsalmostasunstoppableasdeforestationelsewhere.”（西方森林的增长好像和其他地方的森林砍伐一样不行阻挡。）可知，西方发达国家的森林不断增长，发展中国家的森林在快速削减，它们向着完全相反的两个方向发展。故选D项。其次节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Theyear2024marksthebeginningofthedecadeoftheyold,orthe“youngold”，astheJapanesecallpeopleagedbetween65and75,whocontinuetoworkandstaysociallyengaged.____16____.Theyoldaremorenumerous,healthierandwealthierthanpreviousgenerationsofseniors.____17____Ofthe3.7yearsofincreasedlifeexpectancy(预期寿命)inrichcountriesbetween2000and2015,saystheWHO,3.2yearswereenjoyedingoodhealth.Workingisoneofthefactorsthatarehelpingpeoplestayhealthylonger.AGermanstudyfoundthatpeoplewhoremainatworkafterthenormalretirementagemanagetoslowthecognitive(认知的)decline.Theyoldarealsobetteroff,whilethewealthofallotheragegroupsdeclined.TheyoldarenotjustanygroupofoldpeopleTheyarechallengingthetraditionalexpectationsoftheretiredaswhoarewearingindoorshoesandlookafterthegrandchildren.____18____Theybecomeoneofthefastestgrowinggroupforairlinebusiness.Theyspendmuchmore,whentakingaforeignholiday,thanyoungadults.SotheyarevitaltotheTourismindustry.TheyarealsochangingeducationandfinanceBecauseoftheimportanceofpensions,theyoldaretransforminginsurancecompaniesfrompassivedistributorsoffiredannuities(年金)tofinancialserviceprovidersforcustomerswhowanttomanagetheirpensionpotsmoreactively.____19____Theyfindthatolderworkershave,ifanything,slightlyabove-averageproductivityandthatteamsofworkersfrommultiplegenerationsarethemostproductiveofall.Societiesshouldbebetteroffbecausepublicspendingonhealthandpensionsshouldbelowerthanexpected,aspeopleworklongerandneedlessmedicalcare.Today,somebigthingswillhavetochange,underpressurefromtheyoldthemselves.Themostimportantispublicattitudestowardsolderpeopleandinparticulartheexpectationthat60-somethingsoughttoquietlyretireintothebackground.____20____Theyoldwilldemandthatcompaniesbecomemoreage-friendlyand,intheprocess,helpchangeattitudestowardsagingitself.A.Healthyyoldpeoplewillrequiregreatchangesinhealthspending.B.Manycompaniesdiscriminateagainstolderworkersbyofferingtrainingonlytoyoungerones.C.Theriseoftheyoldwilldefinitelybeablessingtobothcultureandeconomy.D.Healthworsenswithage,buttheyoldareresistingthedeclinebetterthanmost.E.Manybossesthinkproductivityfallswithage,butstudiesinGermanysuggestotherwise.F.Thatwilldisturbconsumers,serviceandfinancialmarkets.G.Theyold,intheirnewappearanceastheyoungold,areexpectedtochangetheworld.【答案】16.G17.D18.F19.E20.B【解析】【分析】这是一篇争论文。本文从日本老龄化社会动身，论述了悠得人群体日渐成为社会生产力和消费劲的现象。【16题详解】下一句“Theyoldaremorenumerous,healthierandwealthierthanpreviousgenerationsofseniors.(与上一代老年人相比，悠得人的数量更多，更健康，也更富有)”说明悠得人比上一代老年人的数量更多，更健康，也更富有，因此，G项“Theyold,intheirnewappearanceastheyoungold,areexpectedtochangetheworld(悠得人，以他们年轻老人的新面貌，有望变更这个世界)”符合语境，选项中的“newappearance”是关键词，与下文构成顺承关系，故选G项。【17题详解】下一句“Ofthe3.7yearsofincreasedlifeexpectancy(预期寿命)inrichcountriesbetween2000and2015,saystheWHO,3.2yearswereenjoyedingoodhealth.(世卫组织称，2000至2015年间，富有国家的预期寿命延长了3.7年，其中有3.2年是在良好的健康状态下度过的)”提到世界卫生组织的调查结论，随着人们预期寿命的增长，健康的年限也在增长，且下文的“Workingisoneofthefactorsthatarehelpingpeoplestayhealthylonger.”说明工作有益健康，可推知，首句必定和健康有关，因此，D项“Healthworsenswithage,buttheyoldareresistingthedeclinebetterthanmost.(健康状况随着年龄的增长而恶化，但悠得人比大多数人更能反抗这种衰退)”符合语境，与最终一句“Theyoldarealsobetteroff,whilethewealthofallotheragegroupsdeclined.(悠得人群的境况也更富有，而其他全部年龄组的财宝都在下降。)”呼应，介绍悠得人群的优点。故选D项。【18题详解】上文“TheyoldarenotjustanygroupofoldpeopleTheyarechallengingthetraditionalexpectationsoftheretiredaswhoarewearingindoorshoesandlookafterthegrandchildren.(悠得人并非仅是一波寻常的老人。他们正在挑战人们对退了休的人穿着拖鞋、照看孙儿这种惯有的预期)”以及下文“SotheyarevitaltotheTourismindustry.Theyarealsochangingeducationandfinance…(因此，它们对旅游业至关重要。他们也在变更教化和金融)”谈到，这批人将变更对老人的传统印象，认为老人是待在家里的照看孙子孙女的，下文谈到是老人起先成为航空业、旅游业的常客，甚至超过了年轻人，可推知，该题干要体现出与常识不同的差异性，因此，F项“Thatwilldisturbconsumers,serviceandfinancialmarkets(这将扰乱消费者、服务业和金融市场)”符合语境，该选项中“disturb”是关键词，与上下文呼应。故选F项。【19题详解】下文“Theyfindthatolderworkershave,ifanything,slightlyabove-averageproductivityandthatteamsofworkersfrommultiplegenerationsarethemostproductiveofall(他们发觉，若要说有什么区分的话，老年员工的生产率略高于平均水平；而由来自不同代际的员工组成的团队生产率最高)”谈到，年长的工人的效率会更高，因此，E项“Manybossesthinkproductivityfallswithage,butstudiesinGermanysuggestotherwise.(很多老板和人力资源部门认为生产率会随年龄增长而下降，但是德国的探讨表明并非如此)”符合语境，反对一些人所认为的工作效率随年龄增长而倒退的观点。故选E项。【20题详解】上文“Themostimportantispublicattitudestowardsolderpeopleandinparticulartheexpectationthat60-somethingsoughttoquietlyretireintothebackground(最重要的是公众对老年人的看法，尤其是对60多岁的人应当静静退居幕后的期望)”以及下文“Theyoldwilldemandthatcompaniesbecomemoreage-friendlyand,intheprocess,helpchangeattitudestowardsagingitself.(悠得人将要求公司变得更“高龄友善”，并在这一过程中帮助变更人们对于“变老”这件事本身的看法)”提到，一些人认为60岁以上的员工应当迎接退休，下文又谈到了悠得人的诉求，希望公司变得更“高龄友善”，可推知，B项“Manycompaniesdiscriminateagainstolderworkersbyofferingtrainingonlytoyoungerones(很多公司卑视年长的工人，只给年轻人供应培训)”符合题意，符合上下文反对年龄卑视的语境。故选B项。第
