Good afternoon. Welcome to this tour of Davidson College. A s a senior here, I could tell you all about my experiences in cl assrooms and labs. But I think it would be most valuable to tal k about the campus as we walk around outside to get an over all feel of this amazing place. Over to my left is the library, an d besides being the main place where students do research f
or papers, it’s also where a lot of students hang out between c lasses. There are computers and comfortable chairs everywh ere, and on each floor, there are areas that do not require you to be quiet. Perhaps this is why our students like it there so much! Down the road to my right is the student center, which i s where students can buy coffee, snacks, and official Davidso n College clothing. The student center is open until 10:00 p.m. on school nights and until 2:00 a.m. on weekend nights. Car son Gym, which is named after one of Davidson’s most famou s professors, is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Yo u can play almost every sport you can imagine there, and ther e are health classes like yoga and group dance every day exc ept Wednesday. The best part about the gym is the cost: stud ents pay a yearly fee of $50, and they get to use the facilities as much as they want. All right, we’re coming up to the stadiu m now…

本文属于说明文，介绍了英联邦国家的四个文学创作竞赛，目的是激励那些有文学梦的人们积极创作，勇于参赛。

【21题详解】
主旨大意题。

根据第一段
so if you have dreams of a writing career, these could be the place to begin. Below is a list of the most interesting competiti ons.可知，本文介绍了一些有趣的比赛，对于有志于写作生涯的人，可以从这些比赛开始，明确说明了参加文学比赛对有写作梦想的人有帮助，故选D。

【23题详解】
细节理解题。

根据倒数第二段
Stories can have been published previously in web or print jou rnals, but not in a stand-alone publication by the author.可知，在最后一项比赛中作品可以发表在网络上，也可以在纸质刊物上，故选D。

【点睛】主旨大意题的做题技巧。

1) 主旨大意题属于归纳概括题。

如有标题，标题中蕴含的信息
往往是关键信息。

2) 找准文章的主题句是关键。

“主题句定位法”是一种行之有效的方法。

在答题时，我们可以：读首句抓大意；读尾句抓大意；读首尾段抓大意。

3.) 无明显主题句时高频信息词，任一篇文章都是围绕某个主题展开的，因此，有的文章中最明显的特点之一是有一个反复出现的中心词，即高频词，也叫做主题词。

抓住了它，便容易抓住文章的中心。

比如小题1，根据第一段

For Kim Duffy，
sending away her teenage daughter was the best hope for sa ving the girl's life.
Corinne, then 17, had been struggling with bulimia(贪食
症)and anorexia(厌食
症)for more than five years. Duffy and her husband, Terry, fou
nd a residential facility in Virginia，
and Corinne signed on for a two-
month stay in the summer of 2009.
Today，
Corinne's healthy and pursuing a master's degree in Colorado . She and her parents believe the holistic(整
体)approach and individualized focus were key to her recover y. And they know they had access to unique resources. "We were fortunate, "says Duffy. "We could pay for everything." But many can't. According to a report released in November 2 014 by the Standing Committee on the Status of Women，between 600,000 and one million Canadians suffer from an e ating disorder. Public in patient programs often won't admit pa tients until they're in life-
threatening condition. Private clinics often have a long waitlist s and high costs-
at Homewood, in Guelph, Ont., a room is $ 305 to S 360 per d ay.
The Duffs' struggle led then to connect other families with the quality of care they received in the United Sates. In late 2013, hey founded the WaterStone Clinic，
a private eating disorder center in Toronto.
Since the facility opened, 170 clients have received treatment.
They take yoga, do art therapy and participate in meal prepar ation, building real-
life skills with a support team. Programs run weekdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., and notably, so far WaterStone has no waiting list.
But this approach is costly: approximately S 650 per day. Rea lizing that the price tag puts WaterStone out of reach for many , the Duffys created the WaterStone Foundation-
a charity that provides aid to patients who can't afford treatme nt the following year. Candidates are assessed by wo committ ees that make a decision based on clinical and financial need. Since 2014,the foundation has helped 100 people.
Duffy also wants to change the public system. In June of this year, the foundation awarded ＄170,000 to four Ontario hopit als offering creative treatment to eating disorder patients. "Ye s, people need private treatment," she says, “but it's important to help out on a broader scale,too."
24. Why did Duffy think they were fortunate?
A. They had enough money to ravel abroad.
B. They could afford the medical resources.
C. They happened to find a right hospital.
D. They met very experienced doctors.
25. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A. Public hospitals cannot treat patients with eating disorder.
B. Many people die from eating disorder in Canadian public h ospitals.
C. A lot of eating disorder patients have no access to proper tr eatment.
D. In private clinics eating disorder patients will receive timely treatment.
26. Which of the following patients will receive help from Wate rStone Foundation?
A. Poor ones who suffer from the disease.
B. Ones who are rejected by public hospitals.
C. Ones who are facing death.
D. old ones who are poor.
27. What do we know from Duffy's words in the last paragraph ?
A. Only private clinics can give proper treatment to the patient s.
B. Treatment of the disease in public hospitals should be impr oved.
C. She wants to cooperate with public hospitals to help the pa tients.
D. Public hospitals should do more to help people with eating disorder.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. A 27. D
【解析】

根据第三段
But many can't. According to a report released in November 2 014 by the Standing Committee on the Status of Women，between 600,000 and one million Canadians suffer from an e ating disorder. Public in patient programs often won't admit pa tients until they're in life-threatening condition.可知，但是很多人都支付不起这笔费用，很多人患有饮食问题，住院部只会收纳那些有生命危险的病人，而私人诊所的费用却很高昂，可知很多人不能享受医疗服务，故选C。

【26题详解】

“…a charity that provides aid to patients who can’t afford treat ment…”以及下一
句“Candidates are assessed by two committees that make a decision based on clinical and financial need”。

言外之意就是公立医院应该更多的帮助这类病人，故选D。

C
A shark moving around the coastline is normally a worrying si ght，but this waterborne drone(无人
机)threatens floating rubbish instead of people.
Developed by Dutch company RanMarine, the WasteShark ta kes nature as its inspiration with its whale shark-
like mouth. Responsible for collecting waste, the drone will be gin operations in Dubai Marina in November after a year of tri als with local partner Ecocoast.
According to RanMarine, the WasteShark is available in both
autonomous and remote-
controlled models. Measuring just over five feet by three-and-a-half feet(1.5 meters by 1.1 meter)，
it can carry up to 352 pounds of rubbish(159.6 kg)and has an operational battery life of 16 hours.
By 2016 there were approximately 150 million tons of plastic i n the world's oceans. One paper from December 2014 estima ted that over a quarter of a million tons of ocean plastic polluti on was afloat.
"WasteShark also has the abilities to gather air and water qua lity data, remove chemicals out of the water such as oil，
and heavy metals，
and scan the seabed to read its depth and outlines，
"said Oliver Cunningham, one of the co-
founders of RanMarine. "Fitted with a collision-
avoidance system, the drone uses laser imaging detection an d ranging technology to detect an object in its path and stop o r back up if the object approaches."
"Our drones are designed to move through a water system, w hether it's around the perimeter(周
边) or through the city itself. The drones are that last line of de fense between the city and the open ocean," added Cunningh am. "WasteSharks are operating in Dubai, South Africa and th
e Netherlands and cost $ 17,000 for the remote-
controlled model and just under $ 23,000 for the autonomous model."
Dubai-
based operator Ecocoast has two WasteShark drones. Co-founder Dana Liparts says they will clean waterfronts for client s including hotels and environmental authorities and that Ecoc oast' intention is to have the collected rubbish recycled or upc ycled. However, Liparts argues that cleaning waterways does n't have a one-size-fits-
all solution and requires a combination of new technology, pre ventative measures and changing people's attitudes towards l ittering.
28. What do we know about the WasteShark?
A. It can frighten sharks away.
B. It is an ocean explorer.
C. It is a rubbish collector.
D. It can catch fish instead of people.
29. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A. The causes of ocean pollution.
B. The dangers of using plastics.
C. The severity of ocean garbage pollution.
D. The importance of ocean protection.
30. What will the WasteShark do with an approaching object?
A. Avoid crashing into it.
B. Break it into pieces.
C. Swallow it.
D. Fly over it.
31. Which of the following ideas does Liparts agree with?
A. The WasteShark should be used more widely.
B. More measures should be taken to make water clean.
C. The production cost of WasteSharks should be reduced.
D. People should take a positive attitude to new technology.【答案】28. C 29. C 30. A 31. B

all solution and requires a combination of new technology, pre ventative measures and changing people's attitudes towards l ittering.可知，这种无人机并非解决水上垃圾污染的万全之策，需要多措并举，才能达到目的，故选B。

D
A new study from brain researchers helps explain how the hu man brain evolved or changed over time, to permit people to s peak and write.
Michael Ullman, the lead researcher, a professor at Georgeto wn University Medical School in Washington, D.C, has been s tudying language learning for more than 20 years.
Ullman says his research shows that the human brain does n ot have a special area or system for making language. Over ti me we have simply reused or co-opted(指
派) parts of our brain for language. And those parts, he says, are ancient-older even than humans themselves.
"This study examines the theoretical framework(准
则) that language is learned, stored and' processed in two anc ient learning and memory systems in the brain."
Ullman, Hamrick and the rest of the team looked at data from 16 other studies on language. They found that people learn la nguage using two memory systems: declarative and procedur al. Memorizing vocabulary, for example, is a declarative mem ory process. But learning grammar is, mostly, a procedural m emory process.
"Declarative memory, in humans at least, is what we think of a s learning memory', such as, 'Oh, remember what you said la st night' or things like that. And procedural motor memory is w
hat we often call motor memory' such as how you learn to ride a bicycle." Or, Ullman adds, "These procedural memory skills become so deeply leaned that we are no longer aware that w e are doing them."
However, Ullman explains that the two long-
term memory systems can share tasks. And, he ads, the adult brain uses the systems to learn language a bit differently tha n a child's brain.
"Adult language learners of a second language may use their declarative memory for using grammar patterns. They think a bout it purposefully. For a child, the grammar may come more naturally. They don't have to think about the grammar rules b efore speaking."
In addition to language learners, Ullman's study could help pe ople who have a brain injury that affects speaking and writing. This knowledge can also help those who have learning disabi lities such as dyslexia(阅读障
碍). People with dyslexia have difficulty recognizing words an
d symbols accurately.
32. How did Ullman study human's memory systems?
A. By examining the brain with his team.
B. By studying language learning over years.
C. By comparing different languages year after year.
D. By referring to data from other studies on language.
33. Which of the following is an example of "motor memory"?
A. Learning to make a model plane.
B. Remembering the grammar patterns
C. Repeating what you heard.
D. Memorizing what you read.
34. What does the underlined word "it" refer to?
A. Declarative memory.
B. An adult language learner.
C. Using grammar patterns.
D. A second language.
35. What's the main idea of the text?
A. Ullman has advanced our language understanding.
B. A new research helps people learn a new language.
C. Learning memory is more active than motor memory.
D. Human beings learn language in pre human area of brain.【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【分析】
本文属于科普文，讲述Michael Ullman和他的团队的研究称人类大脑前区的为语言学习区，由此解开了人类大脑进化过程之谜。

在最古老的大脑学习记忆区域，陈述性记忆和运动记忆分
工合作，来完成语言学习。

【32题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第五段
Ullman, Hamrick and the rest of the team looked at data from 16 other studies on language.可知，该团队通过研究其他语言学习的成果，得出的结论，故选D。

【33题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第六段
And procedural motor memory is what we often call motor me mory' such as how you learn to ride a bicycle."可知，程序性运动记忆就是我们常说的运动记忆，比如学习骑自行车等技能，故选A。

【34题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据倒数第二段第一句话
"Adult language learners of a second language may use their declarative memory for using grammar patterns.可知，成年语言学习者在学习第二语言时，是刻意地在使用语法句式。

所以it是指代using grammar patterns，故选C。

【35题详解】
主旨大意题。

根据第三段
Ullman says his research shows that the human brain does n ot have a special area or system for making language. Over ti
me we have simply reused or co-opted(指
派) parts of our brain for language.以及全文可知，人类的语言学习是由大脑前区完成的，该区域早于人类本身。

所以答案为D。

【点睛】词义猜测题做题技巧。

关于词义猜测题做题技巧。

词义猜测题是阅读理解中常见的一种题型，主要有对生词的词义猜测，熟词新义以及代词的猜测。

其关键是根据上下文的逻辑关系，利用已掌握的信息，有必要的时候，借助生活或者文化常识，确定单词的词义。

比如小题3，根据倒数第二段第一句话
"Adult language learners of a second language may use their declarative memory for using grammar patterns.可知，成年语言学习者在学习第二语言时，是刻意地在使用语法句式。

所以it是指代using grammar patterns，故选C。

The sense of humor is one of the most powerful tools you hav e for getting rid of any source of stress in your life. ___36___ We can't over-
estimate the importance of the sense of humor too much. In f act, making work fun helps employees perform best and provi de quality work.
___37___ Telling jokes and stories and using team-
building games in companies make people have more fun at work. Some companies even have talent shows or hold dance or sports competitions. It just gives employees a break in the day and a chance to laugh at themselves.
___38___ Humor should be about laughing with rather than la ughing at others. We all have probably heard jokes that seem ed to bother or hurt others. For example, jokes making fun of employees for their weight, race, religion, etc. are not only har mful to the person, but also can create an unfriendly working environment.
Even if the jokes were intended to be humorous, they may not be received that way. I have even heard speakers make sligh t dirty jokes on the audience, thinking they would be seen as c ool. In fact the audience thought the speakers had no taste. _ __39___ In another case, I heard about a manager who was o ut partying with co-
workers and kidding about how the boss liked certain people more than others. Such jokes actually had damaging effects o n people in the company.。
