Castel dell'Ovo Tours
Castel dell'Ovo is one of Naples' most famous monuments. It offers sweeping views over the city and Mount Vesuvius in the distance.
The Basics
The site on which Castel dell'Ovo now stands has a long history, beginning as a settlement for Greek colonists. The current castle was built in the 15th century, and today, the 19th-century fishing village of Borgo Marinari, known for its excellent seafood restaurants and marina （游艇停靠区）sits at the base of the castle.
The Egg Castle
The origin of the castle's name comes from a story about the Roman poet Virgil, who is said to have placed a magical egg in the foundations beneath where the castle now stands. As long as the egg stays well, Castel dell'Ovo will remain standing. Things to Know Before You Go

The new garbage sorting regulation has taken effect in Shanghai starting July 1. Many citizens are still confused about the classification of the four different types of trash. Thankfully, authorities have released an official guideline to clarify the new rules.
The guideline, published by the Shanghai Greenery and Public Sanitation Bureau, provides a rather clear definition on the four kinds of waste: recyclable waste, hazardous (有害的) waste, household food waste and residual (剩余的) waste.
Hazardous waste, as the name suggests, includes assorted poisonous materials like used batteries, light bulbs, out-of-date medicines, paint and pesticides.
Household food waste, which is translated to “wet trash” in Chinese，refers to food leftovers, rotten food, pet food, fruit peels, remains of TCM herbs (中药) and flowers.
Paper, plastic, glass, metal and textiles (纺织品) are counted as recyclable waste.
The definition of residual waste is a little confusing. Anything that is not listed above belongs in this category.
As specific as the new guideline is, residents still have a hard time sorting trash correctly and are finding it challenging to memorize them all. For instance, both plastic bottles and bubble tea or coffee cups are plastic materials. However, the former falls to the category of recyclable waste and the latter belongs to residual waste. To save the hassle, some netizens have come up with their own ways to sort
trash.
“We should do this from a pig’s angle,”commented one netizen.“Those edible (可食用的) for pigs are household food waste. Those even pigs don’t want to eat are residual waste. If a pig consumes something and dies of it, then something must be hazardous waste. Those which can be sold and the money we gain can be used to
p urchase pigs are recyclable waste.” The new regulation has gone into effect on July 1. Those who do not sort their trash properly will be fined RMB200.
4. What do the old thrown-away sweaters belong to?
A. Residual waste.
B. Hazardous waste.
C. Recyclable waste.
D. Household food waste.
5. What does “wet trash” have in common?
A. They are completely wet.
B. They all come from plants.
C. They can give off bad smell.
D. They can break up easily.
6. What is the tone of the netizen?
A. Humorous.
B. Serious.
C. Delightful.
D. Uncertain.
7. What is the main idea of the text?
A.Shanghai bans four sorts of garbage.
B.Shanghai launches garbage sorting enforcement.
C.Citizens in Shanghai still question garbage sorting.
D.Citizens in Shanghai welcome the garbage sorting policy.

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。

文章主要讲述了上海执行新的垃圾分类规定，并对垃圾分类给出了官方解释。

4.推理判断题。

counted as recyclable waste.(纸，塑料，玻璃，铁制品和纺织品都属于可回收垃圾)可知，纺织品属于可回收垃圾，扔掉的旧毛衣属于纺织品，故它是可回收垃圾。

C. Recyclable waste. (可回收垃圾)符合以上推测，故选 C 项。

5.推理判断题。

根据文章第四段的Household food waste, which is translated to “wet trash” in Chinese，refers to food leftovers, rotten food, pet food, fruit peels, remains of TCM herbs (中药) and flowers.(家庭食物垃圾，中文也叫湿垃圾，是指食物剩余，腐烂的食品，宠物食品，水果皮，中药残余和花等)可推测，湿垃圾有一个共同特征——容易降解。

D. They can break up easily.(它们容易降解)符合以上推测，故选 D 项。

6.推理判断题。

根据文章最后一段的We should do this from a pig’s angle,”commented one netizen. “Those edible (可食用的) for pigs are household food waste. Those even pigs don’t want to eat are residual waste. I f a pig consumes something and dies of it, then something must be hazardous waste. Those which can be sold and the money we gain can be used to purchase pigs are recyclable waste.(一位网友说，我们可以从猪的角度来做这件事，猪可以食用的是家庭食物垃圾；那些猪都不吃的是残余物；如果一头猪吃了什么东西死了，那些东西一定是有害垃圾；那些可以卖掉赚钱卖猪的是可回收垃圾)可以看
出该网友很幽默。

故选 A 项。

7.主旨大意题。

C
Robert F. Kennedy once said that a country’s GDP measures “everything except what makes life worthwhile.” With Britain voting to leave the European Union, and GDP already predicted to slow as a result, it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to.
The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a century. Many argue that it is a mistaken concept. It measures things that do not matter and misses things that do. By most recent measures, the UK’s GDP has been the envy of the Western world, with record low unemployment and high growth figures. If everything was going so well, then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit, despite the warnings about what it could do to their country ’s economic prospects?
A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into well-being throws some light on that question. Across the 163 countries measured, the UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is
translated into meaningful improvements for its citizens. Rather than just focusing on GDP, over 40 different sets of criteria from health, education and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more all-round assessment of how countries are performing.
While all of these countries face their own challenges, there are a number of common themes. Yes, there has been an economic recovery since the 2008 global crash, but in key indicators in areas such as health and education, major economies have continued to decline. Yet thi s isn’t the case with all countries. Some relatively poor European countries have seen huge improvements across measures including
civil society, income equality and environment.
This is a lesson that rich countries can learn: When GDP is no longer regarded as the only measure of a country’s success, the world looks very different.
So what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations, as a measure, it is no longer enough. It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes —all things that contribute to a person’s sense of well-being.
8. Robert F. Kennedy is cited because he _______.
A. praised the UK for its GDP
B. identified GDP with happiness
C. misinterpreted the role of GDP
D. had a low opinion of GDP
9. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that _______.
A.the UK is unwilling to reshape its economic pattern
B.many people in the UK don’t think much of GDP as the measure of success
C.the UK will contribute less to the world economy
D.policymakers in the UK are paying less attention to GDP
10. Which of the following is true about the recent annual study?
A. Its results are inspiring.
B. It is sponsored by 163 countries.
C. Its criteria are questionable.
D. It removes GDP as an indicator.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards GDP as the most common measure of a
country’s success?
A. Favorable.
B. Indifferent.
C. Critical.
D. Defensive.
【答案】
8. D9. B10. A11. C
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。

文章通过英国脱欧这个案例来引出需要考虑 GDP 这个评价机制的好坏，GDP 已经不能全面衡量一个国家的进步与发展。

8.推理判断题。

根据第一段第一句“Robert F. Kennedy once said that a country’s GDP measures “everything except what makes life worthwhile.”中可以看出 Kennedy 认为
一个国家的GDP 衡量的是“除了使生命有价值之外的一切”。

所以作者引用Kennedy 的话语是为了表明 Kennedy 也不看好 GDP 的作用，使文章更具有说服力。

故选 D。

9.推理判断题。

根据第二段“By most recent measures, the UK’s GDP has been the envy
of the Western world, with record low unemployment and high growth figures. If everything was going so well, then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit, despite the warnings about what it could do to their country’s economic prospects?”
可知，以最新的标准衡量，英国的 GDP 一直是西方世界羡慕的对象，失业率创下历史新低和经济高速增长。

如果一切进展顺利，那么为什么有超过 1700 万人投票支持英国脱欧呢? 因此可以推断出，在英国，很多人并不认为 GDP 是衡量成功的标准。

故选 B。

10.推理判断题。

根据第三段中 Rather than just focusing on GDP, over 40 different sets of criteria from health, education and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more all-round assessment of how countries are performing.可知，年度研究得
到的启示是，为了对各国的表现进行更全面的评估，在卫生、教育和民众的社会参与度方面对
超过 40 多套标准进行了衡量，而不仅仅是关注国内生产总值 GDP，这个结果是令人振奋的。

故选 A。

11.推理判断题。

根据最后一段可知，Kennedy 对于 GDP 的看法得到了作者的认可，虽然
GDP 一直是衡量各国经济活动的最常用方法，但作为一种衡量手段，它已经远远不够。

它不包括所有有助于人的幸福感的因素，例如环境质量或教育成果等重要因素。

因此，作者对GDP
作为衡量一个国家成功的最常用指标持有“批判”的态度。

A. favorable 赞许的；B. indifferent 漠不关心的；C. critical 批判的；D. defensive 戒备的。

故选 C。

D
Picture a lecture session at a business school and your probably imagine students gazing at screens filled with equations（方程式）.What you might not expect is students attempting to sing “O clap your Hands”. But Bartleby was treated to this delight on a visit to Saïd Business Sc hool in Oxford earlier this year.
There was a catch. Some of the students had to try conducting the chorus. The first to take the challenge was a rather self-confident young man. It didn’t take long for him to go wrong. His most obvious mistake was to start conducting without asking the singers how they would like to be directed, though they had the expertise and he was a complete beginner.
The session, organized by Pegram Harrison, a senior fellow in entrepreneurship（企业家精神）, cleverly allowed the students to absorb some important leadership lessons. For example, leaders should listen to their teams, especially when their colleagues have specialist knowledge.
Other business schools have also realized that their students can learn from the arts. At Carnegie Mellon University , Leanne Meyer has introduced a leadership-training programme that includes poetry and a book club. She believed that involvement in such pursuits can help develop empathy（同理心）in future leaders and that the programme benefits students in terms of how they promote themselves to recruiters （招聘人员）.
The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) has trained many great dramatists. It also offers training courses for managers. “Acting about finding the truth in the character and in yourself.” says Walker-Wise, one of RADA'S tutors. Being a manager involves a lot more than just setting targets. It requires empathy and a knowledge of human nature. An education in the arts might help develop those qualities. Above all, the students on Harrison's Course were experiencing something Bartleby never expected to see in those attending an MBA lecture they were having fun.
12. What does “this delight" in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Singing in a business class.
B. Visiting Said Business School
C. Picturing a lecture session.
D. Gazing a screens full of equations.
13. Which of the fallowing best describes the session by Pegram Harrison? A. Common and influential. B. Educational and effortless.
C. Challenging and instructive.
D. Controversial and practical.
14. What should a leader do based on the conducting experience?
A. Offer promotion opportunities.
B. Value team members’ opinion.
C. Set specific targets.
D. Control every step.
15. How does acting contribute to being a manager?
A. It provides entertainment.
B. It develops goal-setting skills.
C. It exposes the truth in business.
D. It helps understand human nature.
【答案】
12. A13. C14. B15. D
【语篇解读】本文为说明文。

本文通过在商学院进行的指挥表演的尝试，意识到学生可以从艺术中学到许多东西，即艺术教育可能有助于培养未来领导人的同情心和对人性的了解。

12.猜测词义题。

根据 this delight 前后的内容“What you might not expect is students attempting to sing “O clap your Hands”. But Bartleby was treated to this delight on a visit to Saïd Business School in Oxford earlier this year.”你可能想不到的是学生们会唱《拍起手来》。

但今年早些时候，巴特比在访问牛津大学的赛德商学院时，却受到了这样的“this delight”款待。

由前句“想不到学生会唱《拍手吧》”，用一个转折连词but 来说明，巴特比
在访问商学院时，却受到（学生唱歌）的款待。

分析选项可知 A 项符合题意，故选 A。

13.推理判断题。

根据第三段“The session, organized by Pegram Harrison, ... cleverly
allowed the students to absorb some important leadership lessons. For example, leaders should listen to their teams, especially when their colleagues have specialist
know ledge.” 这次会议由高级研究员佩格拉姆·哈里森组织，巧妙地让学生们学习了一些重要的领导技能的课程。

例如，领导者应该倾听团队的意见，特别是当他们的同事有专业知识时。

由此可推断出这种会议有指导性（instructive）。

以及最后一段“An education in the arts might help develop those qualities. Above all, the students on Harrison's Course were experiencing something Ba rtleby never expected to see ....” 艺术教育可能有助于培养
这些品质。

最重要的是，参加哈里森课程的学生们正在经历着巴特比从未料到的事情，...。

由此可知，学生们正经历着巴特比从未料到的事情，可知具有挑战性（challenging）。

分析选项
可知 C 项符合题意，故选 C。

14.推理判断题。

根据第二段“His most obvious mistake was to start conducting without
asking the singers how they would like to be directed, though they had the expertise
and he was a complete beginner.” 他最明显的错误是，在开始指挥时没有询问歌手他们希望如何被指挥，尽管他们有专业知识，而他是一个完全的新手。

以及第三段“...cleverly allowed the students to absorb some important leadership lessons. For example, leaders should liste n to their teams, especially when their colleagues have” 哈里森认为要让学生们学习一些重要的领导才能的课程。

例如，领导者应该倾听他们的团队，尤其是当他们的同事有专业知识的时候。

由此可推断出基于指挥经验，领导应当重视团队成员的意见。

故选 B。

15.推理判断题。

根据第后一段中的It also offers training courses for managers. “Acting about finding the truth in the charact er and in yourself.” says Walker-Wise, one of RADA'S tutors. Being a manager involves a lot more than just setting targets. It requires empathy and a knowledge of human nature. 还为管理人员提供培训课程。

拉达的一位导师沃克·怀斯说：“表演就是在角色和自己身上找寻真相”。

作为一名管理者，不仅仅是设定目标。

它需要同情心和对人性的了解。

由此可知，作为一为管理人员，表演有助于理解人性。

分析选项可知 D 项符合题意，故选 D。

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。

Even if you don’ t know the more complex aspects of index funds, everyone generally knows what it means to be good with money. Spend less than your earn, save for the future, stay out of debt.
36. In fact, when we are talking about money management, we are actually talking about our psychological relationship with money. Fundamentally, our financial problems come from unmet needs. In the case of compulsive overspending, the problem is almost never that a person lacks self-control. 37.
If you overspend on clothing, you don’t actually believe you need 1,000 items in your closet. More likely, you are uncomfortable with your body or status. Clothing helped you feel good about yourself in the past. 38. If overspending on restaurants, you are not so lazy that you can’t be bothered to cook a single meal. Rather, you are exhausted from doing things you don’t want to do. You need to give yourself energy in the form of a food high, one that will temporarily mask your unhappiness.
The path to true financial health is not to reduce your life to a tight budget, 39. Instead of letting yourself be controlled by uncomfortable impulses, financial health is all about creating a budget that allows you to do what you truly desire in life.
If your problem is low self-worth, invest strategically in things that will make you feel worthy. Maybe it’s a few amazing pieces of clothing that are tailored well and last long. Maybe it’s a few sessions of therapy. If your problem is burnout, invest in rest and relaxation. 40.
When something shifts within you, something shifts around you. Not the other way around.
A.Now, you think you are always one dress away from feeling at peace in your own
skin.
B.Consider reducing your working hours, or setting aside money for a personal trip.
C.However, it’s easier to say than to do.
D.but to turn to financial consultants for advice on how to manage your bank account.
E.Rather, he usually has an unmet basic need which he is addressing through overspending.
F.Money principles are simple; it’s human psychology that’s complex.
G.but to take an honest look at your needs and meet them with long-term solutions. 【答案】

短文介绍了金钱的管理原则，即花的钱要比挣的少，为将来存钱，不要欠债并分析了过度消费的原因。

36.根据上一段中 Spend less than your earn, save for the future, stay out of debt.可知，花的钱要比挣的少，为将来存钱，不要欠债。

这是 F 项的 money principles（金钱管理原则）的具体内容。

根据空后 In fact, when we are talking about money management, we are actually talking about our psychological relationship with money.可知，实际上当我们谈论金钱管理时，我们实际上是在谈论我们与金钱的心理关系，F 项的psychology 与后面psychological 对应，因此 F 项（金钱管理原则很简单，是人类的心理复杂）符合上下文语境。

故选 F 项。

37.根据本段内容可知，从根本上说，我们的财政问题来自于未满足的需求，强迫性超支发生的原因并不是一个人缺乏自控力。

因此E 项（而是说他通过超支来解决他未得到满足的基本需要）与上文连接通顺。

故选 E 项。

38.空前讲“你不停的买衣服不是真正的需要那么多，而是为了掩盖对身体的不满意或体现自己的身份和地位，衣服可以让你感觉良好”。

A 项（现在你认为你总是差一件衣服就会让自己获得内心的平静）能够承接上文，这一部分是在谈在衣服方面的过度支出。

本段下一部分是谈在餐馆消费方面的过度支出。

故选 A 项。

39.空前讲“真正的财务健康之路不是把你的生活缩减到一个紧张的预算”。

G 项（而是要诚实地看待你的需求，并从长期的角度找到解决方案来满足它们）能够承接上文，且与下文“金融健康不是让自己被不舒服的冲动所控制，而是创造一个预算，让你在生活中做你真正想要做的事。

” 在语意逻辑上通顺。

故选 G 项。

40.根据空前内容可知，如果你的问题是“太累了”，那就在休息和放松上进行投资。

因此 B 项（考虑减少你的工作时间或者预留一些钱来一次个人旅行）具体解释了如何投资，与上文连接通顺。

故选 B 项。

第二部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分）第一节完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题1.5 分，满分 30 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的

34 I was back in graduate school. Should I talk about the French philosopher Rene Descartes to prove our 35 with the phrase "I think, therefore I am"? Or, 36 English philosopher G. E.

feeding our sense of wonder. "Close your eyes," I said. He did. "Well, did you

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。

“我”习惯于给人们指点迷津，回答陌生人对于生活感到困惑的问题。

一个小男孩问“我”，他怎么知道自己是真实的，“我”本想引用哲学家的话来解释，但灵机一动让他闭上眼睛问自己是否消失了，小男孩由此得到了问题的答案。

21.考查动词短语辨析。

句意：如果你生病了或感觉不舒服，可以去看医生。

A. seek out 寻
找，寻求；B. go out 外出；C. turn out 最后是，结果是；D. make out 辨认出，弄清。

身体不适是需要看医生的，seek out a doctor 意为“看医生”。

故选 A。

22.考查宾语从句引导词。

句意：如果你不知道自己在哪里融入世界并且厌倦了独自承担那
种负担，你会怎么做呢?A. what 什么；B. where 哪里；C. why 为什么；D. when 什么时候。

what 是代词，从句 you fit into this world 缺状语，因此不选 what。

根据第三
段小男孩提出的问题 How do I know I'm real? 可知，小男孩的困惑在于不知道如何证明自己是真实存在的。

因此填入where 后表示“在哪里融入世界”能够符合文章的主题，而why（为什么）和 when（什么时候）不合乎主题。

故选 B。

23.考查名词辨析。

句意：如果你不知道自己在哪里融入世界并且厌倦了独自承担那种负担，
你会怎么做呢?A. experience 经验；B. message 信息；C. information 信息；D.
burden 负担。

根据第 2 小题的分析，小男孩不能找到问题的答案会让他有“负担”，自然地就会厌烦这种“负担”，因此选择 burden 合乎文意。

故选 D。

24.考查名词所有格辨析。

句意：我回答了陌生人关于生活难题方面的提问。

A. students’ 学
生的；B. passengers’乘客的；C. friends’朋友的；D. strangers’陌生人的。

根据下文第
5 小题前面的 A group of strangers 可知，作者在地铁入口回答一些“陌生人”生活中一些
困惑的问题。

故选 D。

25.考查动词短语辨析。

句意：一群陌生人之所以停下来，是因为他们带来了一些深奥而有
