【答案】17. B 18. C 19. C 20. B
【解析】
Hi, everyone. I know most of you are thinking about getting involved in the exchange program to France. As I’ve been on an exchange, I could talk a bit about what my experience was like.
Well, I’m studying French, so our class was invited to exchange with a class in France. This was last May, which was a great time to go because the weather was amazing. But November will also be interesting for you，as it’s coming up to Christmas! The process starts with your application. Then you get matched with a particular student. I was matched up with a student called Jean-Paul and I went to stay with him in May. I couldn’t believe how long the school day was in France. They start at 8:30 and go on to 5:00! Mind you，they do have a two-hour lunch break—unlike here in England! Another thing was that at school it was the teachers who changed rooms for different subjects—not the students. I got on very well with Jean-Paul’s family and they took me to different places, so I learnt a lot about the culture. I think that’s the most important thing about going on an exchange. You get to see how people in a different country live. It’s also brilliant for your language! My French is much better. You get such a lot out of it.

B
Jamey Turner often performs to large crowds in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. You can find him playing an unusual musical instrument, the glass harp(竖琴) , near Alexandria's historic waterfront.
A glass harp is made up of different-sized drinking glasses, each filled with water. Turner makes music by running his fingers over the tops of the glasses. By doing so, each glass makes a different musical sound.
Turner is 78 years old now. He became interested in playing the glass harp at the age of six, when he heard his father playing with a glass of water at the dinner table. He has been playing it for 50 years.
Today Turner puts together his instrument by placing 60 different glasses on a wooden soundboard. He holds the glasses in place with rubber bands, which keeps them from breaking. He then adds different amounts of water to each one to create different musical notes. Adding or taking away just a little water will change the sound. Adding water to a glass will make a lower sound. The smaller bowls of water produce a higher sound, while the larger ones produce a lower, deeper sound.
Turner always uses low-priced glass because it sounds better than costly crystal(水晶) and he has more control over the sound. Before buying new glasses, he will test them in stores.
The glass harp was popular 300 years ago when composers like Wolfgang Mozart wrote music for the instrument. There have been about 400 pieces of music written just for the glass harp. But Turner plays all kinds of music, even popular music from China. Few people play the glass harp these days, but Turner says he sees videos of people experimenting with the instrument on YouTube. He hopes the next generation will continue making their music.
24. What do we know about Turner?
A. He began playing the glass harp at six.
B. He often teaches glass harp lessons online.
C. He is a great master of the Chinese language.
D. He was inspired by his father to learn the glass harp.
25. What does the author say about the glass harp?
A. Its inventor is Wolfgang Mozart.
B. It is made up of glasses of the same size.
C. It appears to be gaining in popularity today.
D. Its sounds are affected by the water in the glasses.
26. Why does Turner prefer to use cheap glass?
A. To save money.
B. To produce better sounds.
C. To help recycle drinking glasses.
D. To increase difficulty in performing.
27. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Musician Pleases Crowds by Playing Glasses
B. Playing the Glass Harp: a New Trend
C. Jamey Turner's Dream Coming True
D. Wonderful Music Has No Borders

About l.5 billion people speak English around the world. But for more than l.1 billion of them, English is their second language-often with a noticeable accent.
“Someone's accent really reveals a lot about who they are and their identity. It will tell people what their native language is and probably where they come from,”says Marc Pell, a communication s professor at McGill University in Montreal. And according to Pell, one reaction to it can be a bias(偏见) against that person.
Previous research that has been done elsewhere showed that people who have an accent tend to be trusted less, simply because they have an accent. But accents aren't the only thing we listen for when we have to decide if we trust another person. Tone of voice also plays a role. Pell and his team wanted to know if people would trust a confident tone,
even if it came from someone with an accent.
The researchers had Canadian English speakers listen to different versions of people saying neutral(无明显特性的) statements like “she has access to the building” while they were getting a brain scan in an MRI(磁共振成像) machine. Subjects heard someone say it with a confident tone with a Canadian English accent, an Australian accent or a French accent. Participants also heard the sentence with the three accents spoken in a doubtful or neutral tone.
The MRI scans showed that the participants had to use more brain power to decide if they could trust the statements said with the non-native accents. When the study participants heard the Australian or French accents, blood flow increased to the part of the brain that we use to process sound. They seemed to have to analyze that perhaps more carefully, or for a longer period of time to make this decision about whether they truly believed the speaker, especially when the speaker sounded doubtful. When asked, the participants reported not trusting either Australian or French accents-except when the statements were said confidently. It seems that confidence speaks for itself.
28. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A person's accent.
B. A person's identity.
C. A person's hometown.
D. A person's native language.
29. What did Pell's team want to know?
A. Why some people trust others less.
B. Which parts of the brain deal with sound.
C. What can cause a bias against non-natives.
D. Whether a non-native's confident tone can gain trust.
30. For the study participants, which of the following might demand the most brain power?
A. A Canadian speaking English in a friendly way.
B. A French person speaking English neutrally.
C. An American speaking English confidently.
D. An Australian speaking English doubtfully.
31. Where does this text most probably come from?
A. A research plan.
B. A health magazine.
C. An academic journal.
D. A language-learning guide.

If you buy a washing machine, a fridge or a television in Europe, it comes with a sticker. Thanks to a 1992 EU rule, all appliances must be labelled (贴标签) with their energy efficiency. So why has our food system-which threatens 10,000 species with extinction, produces about 30% of greenhouse gases, and drives 800/o of our air pollution-only ever had voluntary eco-labels?
The appliances ruling had a huge impact; initially, 75% of fridges and freezers were rated G to D(low efficiency) , but today 98% are classed A++ or A+++. Worldwide, the energy efficiency of labelled appliances has increased three times faster than appliances without labels. Introducing an equal system for food could have an even bigger impact.
Mandatory environmental labels would change how we produce and consume in far-reaching ways. First,
producers would have to measure their impacts in a uniform way and be accountable for the results. This would not be expensive: it is free to monitor environmental impacts using digital tools such as Field print and the Cool Farm Tool. Second, they support sustainable consumption. Our research found that products that look, taste and cost the same can have dramatically different environmental impacts. High-impact beef producers use 5,7000% more land and create
l,000% more greenhouse gases than low-impact producers. Labels would allow consumers to tell these products apart.
They would highlight both high-and low-impact producers, in the same way, across multiple products. This would encourage more people to think about their choices by exposing them to the facts every time they are in the shops. We can also use labels to turn smaller consumer changes into large environmental benefits: because a small number of producers create a large share of the impact, simply avoiding high-impact producers can make a huge contribution to pollution reductions.
32. Why does the author mention the appliances in Paragraph 1 ？
A. To applaud the 1992 EU rule.
B. To bring up the topic of labelling food.
C. To point out the pollution they caused.
D. To compare their energy consumption rates.
33. What do the figures in Paragraph 2 show?
A. The importance of saving energy.
B. The debate about eco-labelled appliances.
C. The effectiveness of the appliances ruling.
D. The problem caused by appliances of low efficiency.
34. What does the w ord “Mandatory” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Compulsory.
B. Effective.
C. Different.
D. Independent.
35. What can be learned about eco-labels?
A. They will increase the profits of low-impact producers.
B. They can show producers' environmental impacts.
C. They will guide consumers to buy healthier food.
D. They can expose consumers to more products.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. B
【解析】
本文是议论文。

自欧盟出台家电强制环保规定以来，家电的能耗逐年下降。

作者认为也应在食品上加上强制环保标识，以降低食品零售业的能耗。

【32题详解】
推理判断题。

第一段中作者先预设了“在欧洲购买家电”的情景，由此引出1992年欧盟出台的针对家电的强制环保标识，随即设问“为何不在食品上也加上类似的环保标识”。

由此可知，作者在第一段中提到洗衣机、冰箱、电视机这些家电是为了引出“给食品加环保标识”的话题。

故选B。

【33题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段中的75% of fridges and freezers were rated G to D (low efficiency), but today 98% are classed A++ or A+++. Worldwide, the energy efficiency of labelled appliances has increased three times faster than appliances without labels.可知，作者在第二段中将未使用环保标识前家电的能耗与使用环保标识后家电的能耗作了对比，用真实的数据证实了“环保标识”的有效性。

故选C。

【34题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据第一段中的all appliances must be labelled (贴标签) with their energy efficiency. So why has our food systemhad voluntary eco-labels及第二段的末句Introducing an equal system for food could have an even bigger impact.可知，家电上的环保标识是强制性的，作者在文中建议在食品上加上与家电上类似的环保标识，由此可知，Mandatory意为“强制性的”。

must be, voluntary及equal是解题的关键词。

故选A。

【35题详解】
细节理解题。

根据最后一段中的They would highlight both high-and low-impact producers, in the same way, across multiple products.可知，环保标识能够将高能耗与低能耗的食品生产者区别开来。

也就是说，环保标识能指示食品生产者的能耗。

故选B。

文章介绍了潜水佳地——红海海岸。

【36题详解】
根据上下文语境分析，选项B符合题意：B 项中的reputation指代设空处前一句中的one of the best places in the world to go underwater diving；设空处下一句Its hot sunny climate and clear warm water make it the ideal place for beginners as well as for experienced divers, at any time of the year.解释了B项内容。

故选B。

【37题详解】
根据上下文可知，E项中的They指代设空处前一句中的many training courses；E项中的simple dives与设空处下一句中的These dives为同一所指。

故选E。

【38题详解】
根据逗号后面的内容“对于这样的潜水，最好有一名潜水指导员陪同”以及本段末尾部分escape the danger before it approaches可知，D项“由于水流强劲，还会随时改变方向”符合语境。

故选D。

【39题详解】
F 项中的these old ships 指代设空处上一句中的some fascinating wrecks；F项中的require quite long boat trips与逗号后面的it is well worth going形成对比，由此可知逗号前后部分存在语意上的转折关系，故F项符合语境。

【40题详解】
根据下一句However, divers are forbidden to touch anything or attempt to move any artworks.表述：然而，潜水者被禁止触摸任何东西或试图移动任何艺术品。

该句与设空处有转折关系，且本句中的artworks原词复现了G.Also, some of the sites have artworks lying in the ships or on the sandy bottom中的“artworks”一词。

句意：此外，一些遗址的艺术品躺在船上或沙质海底。

故G项符合语境。

【点睛】七选五的解题技巧之一是根据上下文词汇来锁定线索。

即：要关注空白前后的名词和动词，然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等。

其次是一些专有名词，比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等。

如在本文中，第1小题中的B 项中的reputation指代设空处前一句中的one of the best places in the world to go underwater diving；第2小题中，E项中的They指代设空处前一句中的many training courses；E项中的simple dives与设空处下一句中的These dives为同一所指；第4小题，F 项中的these old ships 指代设空处上一句中的some fascinating wrecks；选项中的require quite long boat trips与逗号后面的it is well worth going形成对比，由此可知逗号前后部分存在语意上的转折关系；第5小题空格下一句中的artworks原词复现了G项中的“artworks”一词，通过以上分析可知，设空处所选项均与上下文有相互呼应的词语或者语境关联，掌握好这一技巧，对于解题是极为关键的。
