D.SummerEmploymentOpportunities.【答案】1.B2.D3.D【解析】【分析】本文为应用文。省政府及其合作伙伴提供了许多项目来帮助学生暑期在找到工作，本文介绍了其中一些项目。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据SummerCompany部分中的SummerCompanyprovidesstudentswithhands-onbusinesstrainingandawardsofupto$3,000tostartandruntheirownsummerbusinesses.可知，SummerCompany为学生提供实践性的商业培训和高达3000美元的奖励，以启动和经营他们自己的暑期业务。“startandruntheirownsummerbusinesses”即“为开办新的业务”，这对应B项中的“runnnewbusinesses”，二者是词义之间的转述关系。故选B。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据StewardshipYouthRangerProgram部分中Whoiseligible:Studentsaged16or17attimeofhire,butnotturning18beforeDecember31thisyear.可知，符合条件的学生是16岁或17岁的学生，但在今年12月31日之前未满18岁。由此得出，这个项目要求年龄在16-17岁之间。故选D。【3题详解】细节理解题。根据SummerEmploymentOpportunities部分中最后一句Somepositionsrequirestudentstobe15to24orupto29forpersonswithadisability.可知，SummerEmploymentOpportunities有些职位是给残疾人的。故选D。BWhatwillmanbelikeinthefuture–in5000oreven50,000yearsfromnow?Wecanonlymakeguesses,ofcourse,butwecanbesurethathewillbedifferentfromwhatheistoday,formanisslowlychangingallthetime.Letustakeanobviousexample.Man,evenfivehundredyearsago,wasshorterthanheistoday.Now,onaverage,menareaboutthreeinchestaller.Fivehundredyearsisarelativelyshortperiodoftime,sowemayassumethatmanwillcontinuetogrowtaller.Again,inthemodemworldweuseourbrainsagreatdeal.Evenso,westillmakeuseofonlyabout20%ofthebrain'scapacity.Astimegoeson,however,weshallhavetouseourbrainsmoreandmore,andeventuallyweshallneedlargerones!Thisislikelytobringaboutaphysicalchangetoo:thehead,inparticulartheforehead,willgrowlarger.Nowadaysoureyesareinconstantuse.Infact,weusethemsomuchthatveryoftentheybecomeweakerandwehavetowearglasses.Butoveraverylongperiodoftimeitislikelythatman'seyeswillgrowstronger.Ontheotherhand,wetendtomakelessuseofourarmsandlegs.These,asaresult,arelikelytogrowweaker.Atthesametime,however,ourfingerswillgrowmoresensitivebecausetheyareusedagreatdealinmodernlife.Butwhatabouthair?Thiswillprobablydisappearfromthebodyaltogetherincourseoftimebecauseitdoesnotserveausefulpurposeanylonger.Inthefuture,then,bothsexesarelikelytobebald.Perhapsallthisgivestheimpressionthatfuturemanwillnotbeaveryattractivecreaturetolookat!Thismaywellbetrue.Allthesame,inspiteofallthesechanges,futuremanwillstillhavealotincommonwithus.Hewillstillbeahumanbeingwiththoughtsandemotionssimilartoourown.4.Thepassagemainlytellsus________.A.man'slifewillbedifferentinthefutureB.whatmanwilllooklikeinthefutureC.manisgrowingtalleranduglierastimepassesD.human'sorgans'functionswillbecomeweak5.Thechangeinman'ssizeofforeheadwillprobablybebecause________.A.hemakesuseonly20%ofthebrain'scapacityB.hisbrainhasgrownlargeroverthepastcenturiesC.theother80%ofhisbrainwillgrowinduetimeD.hewillusehisbrainmoreandmoreastimegoeson6.Whatwillbetrueaboutahumanbeinginthefuture?AHewillbehairlessbecausehairisnolongeruseful.B.Hewillhavesmallereyesandwillwearbetterglasses.C.Hisfingerswillgrowweakerbecausehewon'thavetomakeuseofthem.D.Hewillthinkandfeelinadifferentway.7.Itisimpliedthat________.A.humanbeingswillbecomelessattractiveinthefuture.B.lessuseofabodilyorganmayleadtoitsdegeneration(退化).C.humanbeingshopeforachangeinthefuturelife.D.futurelifeisalwayspredictable.【答案】4.B5.D6.A7.B【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了未来的人会是什么样子的。【4题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“Whatwillmanbelikeinthefuture–in5000oreven50,000yearsfromnow?Wecanonlymakeguesses,ofcourse,butwecanbesurethathewillbedifferentfromwhatheistoday,formanisslowlychangingallthetime.”（未来的人类会是什么样子——5000年甚至5万年以后?当然，我们只能猜测，但我们可以肯定，人类将会与今天的他有所不同，因为人类一直在缓慢地变化。）以及下文对人类身体部分的变化可知，短文主要告诉我们未来的人会是什么样子。故选B项。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“Astimegoeson,however,weshallhavetouseourbrainsmoreandmore,andeventuallyweshallneedlargerones!Thisislikelytobringaboutaphysicalchangetoo:thehead,inparticulartheforehead,willgrowlarger.”（而，随着时间的推移，我们将不得不越来越多地使用我们的大脑，最终我们将需要更大的大脑!这可能也会带来身体上的变化：头部，尤其是前额，会变大）可知，人类前额大小的变化可能是因为随着时间的推移，人类使用大脑的次数会越来越多。故选D项。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段“Thiswillprobablydisappearfromthebodyaltogetherincourseoftimebecauseitdoesnotserveausefulpurposeanylonger.”（但是头发呢?随着时间的推移，这可能会从身体中完全消失，因为它不再服务于一个有用的目的）可知，未来人没有头发，因为头发不再有用。故选A项。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“Ontheotherhand,wetendtomakelessuseofourarmsandlegs.These,asaresult,arelikelytogrowweaker.”（另一方面，我们倾向于较少使用我们的胳膊和腿。其结果是，这些因素可能会变得更弱）由此判断出，身体器官较少使用可能导致其退化。故选B项。CIworkwithVolunteersforWildlife,arescueandeducationorganizationatBaileyArboretuminLocustIgotarescuecallfromawomaninMuttontown.Shehadfoundayoungowl(猫头鹰)ontheground.WhenIarrived,Isawa2-to3-week-oldowl.Ithadalreadybeenplacedinacarrierforsafety.Iexaminedthechick(雏鸟)anditseemedfine.IfIcouldlocatethenest,Imighthavebeenabletoputitback,butnoluck.Mynextworkwastoconstructanestandanchoritinatree.Thehomeownerwasveryhelpful.Awirebasketwasfound.Iputsomepinebranchesintothebaskettomakethisnestsafeandcomfortable.Iplacedthechickinthenest,anditquicklycalmeddown.Nowallthatwasneededweretheparents,buttheywereabsent.Igavethehomeownerarecordingofthehungerscreamsofowlchicks.Theseadvertisethepresenceofchickstoadults;theymightalsoencourageourchicktostartcallingaswell.Igavetheownerasmuchinformationaspossibleandheadedhometoseewhatnewsthenightmightbring.Anervousnighttobesure,butsometimesthespiritsofnaturesmileonusall!Theh

D.ToshowthreatstoAmericans’health.【答案】12.D13.C14.A15.B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究的成果：尽管社交媒体让我们比历史上任何时候都更容易与人建立起联系，但是许多美国人感到比以往任何时候都孤独。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“anewstudysuggeststhatmanyAmericansfeellonelierthaneverbefore”可知，新的研究发现社交媒体让美国人变得更加孤独，D选项“社交媒体增加了美国人的孤独感”符合原文。故选D。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Lonelinesshasthesameinfluenceonhealthassmoking15cigarettesaday,whileobesity(肥胖)lessthan10cigarettesaday”可知，孤独对健康的影响相当于每天吸15支烟的影响，而肥胖对健康的影响相当于每天吸不到10支烟的影响。由此可推知，DouglasNemecek认为孤独比肥胖更危险。故选C。【14题详解】词句猜测题。根据上文提到的Nemecek的言论和下文中的“thoseofotherleadingpublichealthspecialists...lonelinessshouldbetargetedinpublichealthcampaignslikethosedesignedtofightagainstsmokingandobesity”以及“theworstdiseaseIsawwasnotheartdiseaseordiabetes;itwasloneliness”可知，此处表示Nemecek的言论与其他一些健康专家的言论是一致的。由此可知，划线部分的意思为“与......一致”。故选A。【15题详解】推理判段断。根据文章内容，尤其第一段的“anewstudysuggeststhatmanyAmericansfeellonelierthaneverbefore新的研究发现社交媒体让美国人变得更加孤独”和最后一段的“Thenewreport,producedinCigna’spartnershipwiththepollingcompanyIpsos,isbasedonanonlinesurveyofmorethan20,000USadultsusingthewell-regardedUCLALonelinessScaletoseehowwidespreadlonelinessisinAmerica.这份新报告是信诺集团与益普索民意调查公司合作完成的，它基于一项对两万多名美国成年进行的在线调查，该调查采用了广受欢迎的加州大学洛杉矶分校孤独感量表”可知，文章首尾两段呼应。由此推知本文的目的是介绍一项新研究的结果：尽管社交媒体使得人们更易与他人产生联系，但许多美国人却感到比以往任何时候都要孤独。故选B。点睛】二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，每小题2分共10.0分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。TipsonhowtosavemoneyIt’simportantforyouteenagerstoknowhowtosavemoney.Youknowthatthemoneyyousavecanbeforrainydaysandbeusedtopaythroughyourcollegeeducation.Ifyouthinkit’sadifficulttaskanddon’tknowhowtodoit,pleasedoasthefollowing.___16___Mydadalwaystellsmethatifonedoesn’trespectmoney,itwillneverrespectyou.Hence,it’simportantthatyoukeeparecordofyourdailyexpenses.Makeitahabittowritedownallthatyouhavespent.Andwhenyoufindoutthetotalexpensesattheendofthemonth,youwillrealizewhatyouhavespentmoremoneyindoing.___17___Openasavingsaccount.Openingasavingsaccountisabetterwaytosavemoney.Youcansetagoal;say(forexample),themoneyisforanewnotebookorforcollege,andthensave,untilyouhaveenoughmoneytobuyanotebookoruntilyougotocollege.___18___Donotcarrymuchcash.Doyouhavethehabitofnotleavingastorewithoutbuyinganything?Theonlywaytostopthatiscarryinglessmoneyaroundwithyou.Gotothestorewiththeminimumamountofmoney,whichwillnotevenhelpyoubuyadrink.___19___Savethechanges.Savethechangesthatyougetback.Ifyouhavegonetoashoptobuysomethingandgetbacksomechanges,thendonotspendthem.___20___Andyou’llbesurprisedatthehugeamountofmoneyafterdays.Followthesetipsabove,andthusyoucansavealotofmoney.Andsurely,they’llhelpyoutobemoreresponsibleinyourlife.A.Keeparecordofyourdailyexpenses.B.Afterafewdays,you’llgetridofthishabit.C.Instead,youcansavetheminyourpiggybank.D.Bythattime,youwillrealizetheimportanceofsavingmoney.E.Savingmoneybuildsyourfinancialpowerandpersonalfreedom.F.Nextmonth,youwillautomaticallytryandsavemoreinthatpart.G.Nowadaysinthedevelopedanddevelopingcountries,peopleareallworkingforthesakeofearningmoney.【答案】16.A17.F18.D19.B20.C【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章就如何攒钱这一问题提出了一些建议。【16题详解】根据“Hence,it’simportantthatyoukeeparecordofyourdailyexpenses.”（因此，把你的日常开支记录下来是很重要的）可知这里的标题是记录你的日常开支。故选A。【17题详解】根据上文“Andwhenyoufindoutthetotalexpensesattheendofthemonth,youwillrealizewhatyouhavespentmoremoneyindoing.”Andwhenyoufindoutthetotalexpensesattheendofthemonth,youwillrealizewhatyouhavespentmoremoneyindoing.（当你在月底发现总费用时，你就会意识到你花了更多的钱在做什么）可知该空承接上文，说明下个月的解决办法。F选项“下个月，你将自动尝试在这部分存更多的钱”切题。故选F。【18题详解】根据上文“Openingasavingsaccountisabetterwaytosavemoney.Youcansetagoal;say(forexample),themoneyisforanewnotebookorforcollege,andthensave,untilyouhaveenoughmoneytobuyanotebookoruntilyougotocollege.”（开个储蓄账户是存钱的好办法。你可以设定一个目标；例如，这些钱是用来买新笔记本或上大学的，然后存起来，直到你有足够的钱买笔记本或直到你上大学）可知该空承上启下，指出存钱的重要性。D选项“到那时，你就会意识到存钱的重要性”切题。故选D。【19题详解】根据上文“Doyouhavethehabitofnotleavingastorewithoutbuyinganything?Theonlywaytostopthatiscarryinglessmoneyaroundwithyou.Gotothestorewiththeminimumamountofmoney,whichwillnotevenhelpyoubuyadrink.”（你有不买东西就离开商店的习惯吗?唯一的办法就是少带点钱。带着最少的钱去商店，这甚至不能帮你买一杯酒）该空承接上文，说明这样做的好处。B选项“几天后，你就会改掉这个习惯”切题。故选B。【20题详解】根据上文“Savethechangesthatyougetback.Ifyouhavegonetoashoptobuysomethingandgetbacksomechanges,thendonotspendthem.”（保存返回的零钱。如果你去商店买东西并取回一些零钱，那么不要花了它们）该空承接上文，说明正确的做法。C选项“相反，你可以把它们存到你的存钱罐里”切题。故选C。三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，每小题1.5分，共30.0分）WhenpeoplefindoutthatmysonSamisacompetitivemathlete,theyusuallyaskifmyhusbandandIare“mathpersons”.Theansweris“Definitelynot”.Ninthgradewas____21____forSamtoprepareforacompetition,hetook____22____practicetests,whichweresometimesas____23____asthreehours.Intheend,hedidn’tdoaswellashe’dhopedandwas____24____byamathcamphe’dappliedto.Hewanderedintomyofficeonedaylastspring,murmuring.“Ijustfeellikethewholeyearhasbeena____25____.”Igetit.Howmanydays—weeks,months—haveI“wasted”writingthe____26____sceneoverandoveragain?Writinganovelsometimesfeelsliketwostepsforward,onestepback.____27____wheneverIfeellikethat,Itryto____28____myselfthatnomatterwhathappenswithmybook,I’ve____29____thetimeI’vespentworkingonit.ThedelightIfindinwritingis____30____forme.“Nothing’severwasted.Youmaynothavegottenthe____31____you
