第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题，每小题2分，共30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

A
Are you interested in hi-tech products? Here are some that you might find at the market pretty soon.
CX-1
Tired of dragging your bag through busy airports? Then you might want to consider CX-1. The smart suitcase uses facial recognizing software to follow its owner as he / she is checking in or heading to the gate. Though CX-1 can only move at a speed of up to seven miles per hour, a tiny tool enables owners to keep track of the suitcase’s location. It is expected to be sold on the market by late 2018.
Aibo
Sony’s latest version of the Aibo robotic dog is almost as fun as the real thing—but much less work. The pet dog can recognize its owner, obey several commands, and even recall the behavior that pleases its master the most. Aibo can also learn new tricks, take photographs, and over time, develop its own unique personality.
Forpheus
Forpheus, an “athletic” robot developed by Japanese technology company Omron. It teaches users how to play ping-pong. The 10-feet-tall machine uses a camera and artificial intelligence to track the ball’s speed and can predict the ball’s direction correctly. The smart Forpheus can also quickly test its player’s abilities and adjust the playing level, making the game fun.
Black Box VR
Though many people determine to go to the gym once a week, few reach their goal. Black Box VR wants to change that by turning hard exercise into fun video games. Using it, gym users will find themselves fighting enemies, including big creatures—all while getting exercise.
21. What is the feature of CX-1?
A. It can be opened by facial expressions.
B. It can recognize and follow its owner.
C. It can move very fast in busy places.
D. It can sense the suitcase’s location.
22. Who would most probably want an Aibo?
A. People who want to walk a dog.
B. People who often play tricks on others.
C. People who want to take high-quality photographs.
D. People who want a dog but can’t look after a real one.
23. Which product can help people do physical exercise regularly?
A. CX-1.
B. Aibo.
C. Forpheus.
D. Black Box VR.
【答案】21. B 22. D 23. D
【解析】
【分析】
这是科技类说明文。

文章主要介绍了几款高科技产品。

【21题详解】
细节理解题。

根据CX-1部分The smart suitcase uses facial recognizing software to follow its owner as he / she is checking in or heading to the gate.的描述，可知这款产品使用了面部识别软件，可以识别主人，并跟随主人，B项符合题意，故选B。

【22题详解】
推理判断题。

根据Aibo部分的描述，索尼最新版的Aibo机器狗几乎和真狗一样有趣，但工作量要小得多，可以推测出这款产品比较适合想养狗，又没有更多时间照顾的人，D项符合题意，故选D。

【23题详解】
细节理解题。

根据Black Box VR部分Black Box VR wants to change that by turning hard exercise into fun video games. Using it, gym users will find themselves fighting enemies, including big creatures—all while getting exercise.可知Black Box VR想要通过把艰苦的锻炼变成有趣的电子游戏来改变人们不能达到健身目标的现状，因此D符和题意，故选D。

【点睛】本文介绍了几款高科技的产品，分别对这几款产品的特点进行了描述。

本文考查细节题为主，细节题可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息或是其变体。

搜查信息在阅读中非常重要，它包括理解作者在叙述某事时使用的具体事实、数据、图表等细节信息。

在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节。

做这类题一般采用寻读法即先读题，然后带着问题快速阅读短文，找出与问题有关的词语或句子，再对相关部分进行分析对比，找出答案。

如第三个小题，根据Black Box VR部分Black Box VR wants to change that by turning hard exercise into fun video games. Using it, gym users will find themselves fighting enemies, including big creatures—all while getting exercise.可知Black Box VR想要通过把艰苦的锻炼变成有趣的电子游戏来改变人们不能达到健身目标的现状，可以确定答案。

B
Located in the checkroom in Union Station as I am, I see everybody that comes up the stairs.
Harry came in a little over three years ago and waited for the passengers from the 9:05 train.
I remember seeing Harry that first evening. He wasn’t much more than a thin, anxious kid then and I knew he was meeting his girl and that they would be married twenty minutes after she arrived. The passengers came up and I had to get busy. I didn’t look toward the stairs again until it was nearly time for the 9:18 train and I was very surprised to see that the young fellow was still there.
She didn’t come on the 9:18 either, nor on the 9:40, and when the passengers from the 10:02 had all arrived and left, Harry was looking pretty desperate. He showed me the telegram he’d received: ARRIVE THURSDAY. MEET ME STATION. LOVE YOU. MAY.
Harry met every train for the next three or four days, but in vain.
Then came yesterday. I heard a cry and found that it was from Harry. He grabbed a girl who was small and dark. For a while they just hung there to each other laughing and crying and saying things without meaning. She’d say a few words like, “I t was the bus station I meant” and he’d kiss her speechless and tell her the many things he had done to find her. What apparently had happened three years before was that May had come by bus, not by train, and in her telegram she meant “bus station,” not “railroad station.” She had waited at the bus station for days and had spent all her money trying to find Harry. Finally she got a job typing.
“What?” said Harry. “Have you been working in town? All the time?”
She nodded.
“Didn’t you ever come down here to the station?” He pointed across to a magazine stand. “I’ve been there all the time. I own it. I’ve watched everybody that came up the stairs.”
She began to look a little pale. Pretty soon she looked over at the stairs and said in a weak voice, “I never cam e up the stairs before. Harry, for three years, for three solid years, I’ve been right over there working right in this very station, typing, in the office of the stationmaster.”
24. Why did Harry look desperate?
A. Because he missed the train that he should take.
B. Because the train he waited for didn’t come.
C. Because his girlfriend didn’t turn up.
D. Because his girlfriend arrived late.
25. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?
A. The girl worked as a typist to earn a living.
B. Harry owned a stand at the station.
C. The girl phoned Harry to meet her at the bus station.
D. Harry and the girl both worked at the train station.
26. We can infer from the passage that _____________.
A. the girl’s name is May.
B. the girl arrived by bus yesterday.
C. Harry was quite strong when he first arrived here.
D. Harry worked in the office of the stationmaster.
27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Missing the Train.
B. Detour to Romance.
C. Harry’s Anxiety.
D. The Small and Dark Girl.
【答案】24. C 25. C 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇故事类记叙文。

文章讲述了两个年轻人，因为表达理解的错误而造成了三年的等待，最终他们等来了幸福的相遇。

【24题详解】
细节理解题。

根据文章第四段She didn’t come on the 9:18 either, nor on the 9:40, and when the passengers from the 10:02 had all arrived and left, Harry was looking pretty desperate.可知因为Harry等待的女孩一直没有出现，Harry感到绝望，因此C项符合文意，故选C。

【25题详解】
细节理解题。

根据文章第六段She’d say a few words like, “It was the bus station I meant” and he’d kiss her speechless and tell her the many things he had done to find her. What apparently had happened three years before was that May had come by bus, not by train, and in her telegram she meant “bus station,” not “railroad station.” She had waited at the bus station for days and had spent all her…可知，
女孩是乘公共汽车来到，而不是乘火车来的，电报里说的是“汽车站”，而不是“火车站”，因此C项错误，故选C。

【26题详解】
推理判断题。

根据文章第六段What apparently had happened three years before was that May had come by bus, not by train, and in her telegram she meant “bus station,” not “railroad station.” She had waited at the bus station for days and had spent all her…可以推测出女孩的名字叫“May”，故选A。

【27题详解】
标题题。

文章主要讲述了两个年轻人因为表达理解错误，而造成了三年的等待，最后终于等到了幸福的相遇的故事，因此B项符合，故选B。

【点睛】标题是文章中心思想的精炼表达，多为词组或短语，涵盖性强。

做这类题目时，要在阅读全文的基础上，以文章话题为核心，通过比较选项的概括性或覆盖面，得出正确的标题。

正确标题的归纳范围要恰如其分，避免过于具体或断章取义。

错误的干扰往往是局部信息，以事实细节替代概括大意。

如第四题，根据文章内容对文章中心思想进行归纳，可以的到正确答案。

C
Why do you go to the library? For books, yes－but you like books because they tell stories. You hope to get lost in a story or be transported into someone else’s life. At one type of library, you can do just that－even though there’s not a single book.
A t a Human Library, instead of books, you can “borrow” people. Individuals volunteer as human “books” and participants in the event can “read” the book
－meaning they would have a one-on-one conversation with the volunteer and share in a dialogue about that i ndividual’s experience. “Books” are volunteers from all walks of life who have experienced discrimination (歧视) based on race, religion, class, gender identity, age, lifestyle choices, disability and other aspects of their life.
For a certain amount of time, you can ask them questions and listen to their stories, which are as fascinating and as attractive as any you can find in a book. Many of the stories have to do with some kind of stereotype. You can speak with a refugee
(难民), a soldier suffering from PTSD, a homeless person or a woman living with HIV. The Human Library encourages people to challenge their own long-held beliefs to truly get to know, and learn from someone they might otherwise make a quick judgment about.
According to its website, the Human Library is “a place where difficult questions are expected, appreciated and answered.” It provides the opportunity for the community to share and understand the experiences of others in their community.
The Human Library Organization came to be in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2000. Ronni Abergel and his colleagues hosted a four-day event during a major Northern European festival, hoping to raise awareness about violence among youth. After the success of this event, Abergel founded the Human Library Organization, which has been growing ever since.
Though there are a few permanent human libraries, most aren’t places at all, but events. Though many do take place at physical libraries, you don’t need a library card－anyone can come and be part of the experience. There have been human library events all over the globe, in universities and in pubs, from Chicago to Tunis to Edinburgh to San Antonio.
The stories these “books” tell range from fascinating to heartbreaking and everything in between. And that’s the very point of the organization－to prove that no person can be summed up in just one word. It seeks to show people that you truly can’t judge a book by its cover－or by its title or label.
28. The “books” in human libraries are_____________.
A. long-held beliefs attracting individuals
B. inspiring stones motivating people in trouble
C. events in which people can talk to volunteers
D. unfairly-treated people sharing their experiences
29. The event in Copenhagen is significant because it_____________.
A. aimed to help the young suffering from violence
B. attempted to replace traditional physical libraries
C. laid a foundation for the Human Library Organization
D. led to a pleasing development for the community with racism
30. In human libraries, the readers are likely to_____________.
A. deepen their understanding of people
B. enrich their own personal experiences.
C. hear the stories told by celebrities from all over the world
D. make quick judgments about the “books”
31. The main purpose of the passage is to_____________.
A. evaluate and educate
B. inform and explain
C. discuss and persuade
D. analyze and suggest
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文阅读。

【30题详解】
细节理解题。

可知A项“让人们对人有深入了解”符合题意，故选A。

人类图书馆，介绍了它的建立、发展及其特点。

可知这篇文章的主要目的是“告知和解释”，B项符合题意，故选B。

D
A Scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.
By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened.
A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation early were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible.
Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn’t show up on an IQ test.
The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists’ concerns. But brain theory can’t explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant person.
Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting people’s success, brain ability measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as “character”.
EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one’s ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ingredients for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ accounts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.
While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse.
32. The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that __________.
A. the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experiment
B. emotional intelligence won’t show up until adolescence
C. the ability of self-control plays a role in personal success
D. candy can be used to measure a person’s emotional intelligence
33. Which of the following is true according to the text?
A. The higher a person’s EQ is, the higher his or her IQ is.
B. The higher a person’s IQ is, the lower hi s or her EQ is.
C. A person’s success totally depends on his or her EQ.
D. Scientists have been trying to discover how EQ and IQ work together.
34. The underlined word “upbeat” in Paragraph 4 probably means __________.
A. kind
B. floating
C. excited
D. optimistic
35. What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?
A. Information about famous people with high EQ.
B. Examples showing the opposite voice about EQ.
C. Some reasons why EQ is a relatively new field.
D. Strong demands for basic emotional education.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇科教类阅读，科学家证明通过提供给四岁的孩子一块糖，看他或她如何处理，能够看到他或她的未来。

一些人很快吃掉，一些人坚持到最后几分钟前又放弃了，但是还有一些等到最后一刻。

本文由此展开讲述，主要讲述了情商的作用以及情商与智商的关系。

【32题详解】
推理判断题。

根据文章第二段“A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable”可知自我控制能力在一个人的成功方面起着重要的作用，故选C。

【33题详解】
细节理解题。

根据文章倒数第二段“EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understa nd is how they work together”，可知情商不是智商的对立面，研究者们一直试图了解他们是如何一起工作的，故选D。

【34题详解】
词义推断题。

根据文章第四段“But brain theory can’t explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant so ul”脑理论不能解释我们最感到困惑的一些问题，比如为什么有些人在困难面前仍然保持乐观，而这些困难会让不那么抗拒的人消沉。

对比that would sink a less resistant soul可知upbeat是“乐观积极”的意思，故选D。

【35题详解】
推理判断题。

根据文章最后一段介绍“虽然这一相对较新的领域的许多研究人员很高兴看到情绪问题终于得到重视，但也有少数人担心情商会被误用。

”，可知接下来的段落是关于相反的观点的陈述的举例，故选B。

【点睛】依据逻辑推理猜测词义：运用逻辑推理猜测词义是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式。

要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力，充分利用上下文中相关的词汇并结合具体的语境，从形式和内容上把握语言之间的内在联系，理顺语言之间的逻辑关系，进而达到猜词的目的。

在第三小题中，考生可以根据该画线词所在的上下文语境来推测其指代对象。

根据文章第四段“But brain theory can’t explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul”脑理论不能解释我们最感到困惑的一些问题，比如为什么有些人在困难面前仍然保持乐观，而这些困难会让不那么抗拒的人消沉。

对比that would sink a less resistant soul可知upbeat是“乐观积极”的意思
第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10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。

It should come as no surprise that the more stressed parents are at work, the greater the burden on their family is. ______36______ After all, the more time parents spend working, the less time and energy they have to plan and prepare healthful meals. Previously, most studies have focused on the role of working mothers while fathers were ignored. ______37______ It adds a new wrinkle to the relationship between work stress and family nutrition. Mom’s work related stress is still a central factor in how well families eat because they typically do most of the food shopping and cooking. ______38______
The study finds that when mom or dad experience high levels of work related stress, their families are eating one-and-a-half fewer family meals per week, and the parents
themselves report eating fewer fruits and vegetables, more fast food, and are less likely to eat breakfast regularly.
It’s worth noting that the study looks mainly at low income families who belong to ethnic or minority groups. ______39______ But the implications are wide-ranging.
______40______ Teaching kids, especially teenagers, to help with grocery shopping and to cook actual meals, instead of just putting a frozen pizza in the microwave, could be an important piece of the puzzle in helping families improve their eating habits.
A. But dad’s work related stress has a large impact, too.
B. As to family nutrition, the entire family plays a role, even kids.
C. Yet, the kid’s stress may affect the families’ nutrition, too.
D. So the findings don’t necessarily apply directly to other types of families.
E. It’s also probably not a surprise that this can negatively affect a family’s nutrition.
F. Now, a study looks at the family as a whole and at the role of fathers in particular.
G. It is parents who give their kids a good model to develop a good eating habit. 【答案】36. E 37. F
38. A 39. D
40. B
【解析】
短文主要讲了家庭成员对整个家庭的营养问题都扮演着重要的角色。

【36题详解】
考查前后衔接，前面提到的是父母工作压力越大，家庭负担也越大，后文提到the less time and energy they have to plan and prepare healthful meals，可以得出此空前应表示父母工作压力大，对家庭的营养摄入也是有影响的，故答案E合适。

【37题详解】
考查前后衔接，前文提到while fathers were ignored，很多研究中父亲是被忽视掉的，他们没有把家庭看成一个完整的来调查，此空提出这次的研究特别注重父亲扮演的角色。

F项符合文意。

【38题详解】
考查前后衔接，空格后面提到The study found that when mom or dad…可知，父亲或者母亲在工作上的压力都会对家庭的饮食造成影响，空格前提到母亲，因此空格因讲述的是父亲，故A项合适。

【39题详解】
考查前后衔接。

前面提到the study looked mainly at low income families，这项研究主要是针对低收入家庭，因此有必要说一下对其他的家庭不合适，故答案为D。

【40题详解】
考查前后衔接，这一句子作为这一段的总结句，这一段主要讲了孩子在家庭的营养问题也是扮演着重要的角色，故答案为B。

第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)
第一节(共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分)

When I got there, I discovered I wasn’t ___44___. Four more “hero-types” were already lying back in donor chairs with lines ___45___ to their veins(静脉), and machines quietly pumping away to ___46___ their lifesaving gifts.
Seeing my fellow donors honoring their own commitments, I realized why I was there.
I lay back in my donor chair, ready to make a ___47___ to the life of someone I would never ___48___.
To be honest, I’d never really thought about why I donate. I just did it. ___49___ a few months ago, during one of my ___50___ donations I learned that my blood was specifically for a cancer patient and for a newborn baby—both patients needed what I would give in order to live. I’ve viewed my visits to the blood center ___51___ ever since.
My wife Karen is a ___52___, too. And more importantly, she has been on the bone marrow (骨髓) list for fifteen years, ever since she ___53___ to provide bone marrow to a kindergartner with leukemia(白血病). That little girl died before Karen’s bone marrow could help her, but Karen was called again recently. Her test results were still on file, and it turned out she was a potential ___54___ for someone else. The caller asked Karen if she would still be willing to become a bone marrow donor. “Yes,” she said and then immediately began answering questions on the pages of paperwork for further testing. It was a race ___55___ time.
I wish I could say that this ___56___ was won. It wasn’t. The caller later thanked Karen for her participation and asked a few more questions—including whether or not she’d ___57___on the donor list. “Of course,” Karen answered.
Last week Karen gave blood and next week I’ll make my usual donation. I’ll clear an afternoon from my schedule and make an appointment. I don’t know whose life my donation may ___58___. Most likely it will be a ___59___, but on any day the person needing blood could be you or me or maybe a loved one. It is worthwhile to ___60___our time to donate.
I really do feel proud every time I donate. And I like the feeling.
