TPO-15 Reading 2解析
Q1正确答案：C解析：以mass extinctions做关键词定位至第一句，提到大量生物在短时间内灭绝的这种现象叫做大灭绝事件，C是原文的同义替换，所以是正确答案。
70 million 和250 million是两次大灭绝事件发生的时间，不是A说的七千万年一直在发生，也不是D说的每2500万年发生一次；B的began和原文的end是相反的，错误。
Q2正确答案：A解析：定位到第二段的最后两句：如今物种灭绝的比率和之前五次大规模物种灭绝时期一样高。
因此许多科学家推断，目前正处于第六次大规模物种灭绝状态。
选A。
Q3正确答案：D解析：extend“延伸，延长”，extended“长期的”，所以long是正确答案。
原句说其他机制可能会渐渐发生，在一个什么样的时期内，既然是渐渐发生，当然需要比较长的时间，所以答案是D。
虽然长但不是无限，所以unlimited错误；specific “特定”时间和reasonable“合理”时间原文都没提到。
Q4正确答案：C解析：EXCEPT题，本段第一句就问了原因第二句就开始回答，所以这道题正选比较好。
第二句的warming or cooling对应D答案，正确，不选；changing positions of the continents对应B答案，正确，不选；最后一句的habitat destruction对应A 答案，正确，不选；只有C没有对应，所以C错误，可选。
Q5正确答案：D解析：提问全段的，最好用排除法。
A的exact causes做关键词定位至第三段前两句，原文提到有很多假设，所以没有准确原因，A错误；B的future原文没提到，所以错误；C的一大堆生物做关键词定位至第三句，但原文没提它们是最先遭殃的一群生物，C错误；D的land and seas做关键词定位至倒数第三句，simultaneously就是at the same time，正确。
Q6正确答案：A解析：原文主干部分讲的是：这两个人认为物种大规模灭绝是呈周期出现的，补充信息有：（1）这两个人曾经从大量化石群中研究物种灭绝的比率；（2）从白垩纪中期后差不多每2600万年出现一次大规划物种灭绝。

“美国甜蜜日”的目的是让人们开心，那么你知道它的起源吗？Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy.It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick，the aged，and children who have lost their parents，but also friends，workmates，relatives and neighbors 1Over 60 years ago，when a Cleveland man noticed that some people，such as children who lost their parents and patients who lay in bed，too often felt forgotten and neglected， 2 He did this by giving them small gifts.With the help of his friends and neighbors，he gave those people small gifts on a Saturday in October.During the years that followed，other Clevelanders began to take part in the celebration，which came to be called “SweetestDay”．Over time，the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor，the sick and children who had lost their parents was broadened to include everyone，and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift. 3[阅读障碍词]1．opportunity n．机会；时机2．relative n. 亲戚；亲属3．neglect v. 疏于照顾；不予重视[诱思导读]根据短文内容，从下面所给选项中选出能够填入空白处的最佳选项。

attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by writing the corresponding letter in the blank.Google’s Google ProblemGoogle is killing Google Reader. Use of Google Reader, a tool, by the way, for reading online content via RSS was concentrated among a small group of relatively intense users. As it happens, that small group includes quite a lot of people who write for or as part of their living And so Google Reader has been mourned over, angrily at times, a bit more than the many other Google services that have come and gone.It isn't that hard to imagine what Google was thinking when it made this decision. It's a big company, but even big companies have finite resources, and devoting those precious resources to something that isn't making money and isn't judged to have much in the way of development potential is not an attractive option. Dropping Reader isn't going to hurt the company's business.Yet this little contretemps(令人尴尬的事) may suggest bigger trouble ahead for Google and big changes for the internet. One immediate effect is relatively easy to anticipate. John Hempton makes a nice point here: Google is in the process of abandoning its mission. Google's stated mission is to organize all the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Google no longer cares. It seems what they care about is mass-markets.Google has asked us to build our lives around it: to use its e-mail system, its search engines, its maps, its calendars, its cloud-based apps and storage services, its video- and photo- hosting services, and on and on and on. Google wants us to use its services in ways that provide it with interesting and valuable information, and eyeballs. If a particular Google experiment isn't cutting it in that category, then Google may feel justified in axing it.But that makes it increasingly difficult for Google to have success with new services. Why commit to using and coming to rely on something new if it might be pulled away at some future date? This is especially problematic for "social" apps that rely on network effects. Even a bad social service may thrive if it obtains a critical mass. Yanking away services beloved by early adopters almost guarantees that critical masses can't be obtained: not, at any rate, without the provision of an incentive or commitment mechanism to protect the would-be users from the risk of losing a vital service.There may be bigger implications still, however. As I said, Google has asked us to build our lives around it, and we have responded. This response entails(需要) a powerful self-reinforcement mechanism: Both providers and users of information and other services change their behavior as a result of the availability of a Google product. You can see this on a small scale with Reader. People design their websites and content based on the assumption that others, via an RSS reader, will come across and read that content in a certain way. And readers structure their reading habits, andultimately their mental models of what information is available and where, based on the existence of this tool. If you then pull away the product at the heart of that system, you end up causing significant disruption(混乱), assuming there aren't good alternatives available.The issue becomes a bit more obvious when you think about something like search. Many of us now operate under the assumption that if we want to find something we will be able to do so quickly and easily via Google search. If I want an idea for a unique gift for someone, I can put in related search terms and feel pretty confident that I'll get back store websites and blogs and Pinterest pages and newspaper stories and pictures all providing possible matches.If I'm a researcher, I know I can quickly find relevant academic papers, data, newspaper accounts, expert analysis, and who knows what else related to an enormous range of topics. Once we all become comfortable with that state of affairs we quickly begin optimizing(优化) the physical and digital resources around us. And once we all become comfortable with that, we begin rearranging our mental architecture. We stop memorizing key data points and start learning how to ask the right questions. We begin to think differently. We stop keeping a mental model of the physical geography of the world around us, because why bother? We can call up an incredibly detailed and accurate map of the world, complete with satellite and street-level images, whenever we want. The bottom line is that the more we all participate in this world, the more we come to depend on it.What Google has actually done is create a powerful infrastructure(基础设施). The shape of that infrastructure influences everything that goes online. And it influences the allocation of mental resources of everyone who interacts with the online world. But there isn't much to the real human world that isn't shaped by the mental activity of the people in it! That's a lot of power to put in the hands of a company that now seems interested, mostly, in identifying core mass-market services it can use to maximize its return on investment. Now in the short run, that may mostly be a problem for all of us. To the extent that we become worried about this phenomenon, we may go out and find back-up services or other alternatives. This will be less convenient and more costly, in terms of time and money, but those sufficiently foresighted(预见的) might feel it's a better option than opening up gmail one day to read that the email service, and the 10-year's worth of communication it holds, will soon be gone.But in the long run that's a problem for Google. Because we tend not to entrust(委托) this sort of critical public infrastructure to the private sector. Network externalities are all fine and good to ignore so long as they mainly apply to the sharing of news and pictures from a weekend trip with college friends. Once they concern large amount of economic output and the cognitive activity of millions of people, it is difficult to keep the government out. Maybe that obstacle will be sufficient to keep Google providing its most heavily used products. But maybe not.I find myself thinking again of the brave new world of the industrial city, whennew patterns of interaction led to enormous changes in economic activity, in culture and personal behavior, and in the way we think. We upgraded ourselves, in terms of education and social norms, to maximize the return to urban life. I think we, meaning users of the web and the companies that provide its blood and bones, are only beginning to deal with the implications of a world awash(充斥的) in information.11. Once we become comfortable with optimizing the physical and digital resources around us, we will start rearranging our mental architecture.12. A bad social service may become successful provided that it gets a critical mass.13. In the long term, people are not inclined to put critical public infrastructure into the hands of the private sector like Google.14. Google decided to shut down Google Reader because it was not profitable or promising.15. Everything on the Internet can be influenced by the powerful infrastructure created by Google.16. The availability of a Google product changes the behavior of the providers and users of information and other services.17. According to John Hempton, now Google seems to be more concerned with mass-markets than its stated mission.18. Nowadays, many of us assume that if we would like to search for something quickly and easily, we can Google it.19. The big changes in economic activity, culture, individual behavior and thinking method resulted from new patterns of interaction.20. If a service cannot offer interesting and valuable information and eyeballs, Google will think it right to close it down.11--15 HEJBI 16---20 FCGKDSection CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C), D). You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter in the blank.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.If you are trying to do your bit for sustainability and save water by taking shorter showers, then a new report on sustainability reveals for the first time that there are more effective ways that our everyday choices can have a positive impact on the environment.For example, the glass of juice you have for breakfast might have used the same amount of water in its production as the amount you have just saved by cutting your shower from 10 to 5 minutes. The milk on your cereal might have used even more.Balancing Act, a world first that has been developed for the Australia economyby scientists from CSIRO (澳大利亚联邦科学月工业研究组织) and the University of Sydney, looks across 135 industry sectors of the Australian economy and quantifies the impacts and contributions across ten social, environmental, and financial indicators.Report co-author CSIRO scientist, Barney Foran, says that sustainability for Australia is a balancing act as we try to make decisions and trade-offs in the face of often-competing economic, social and environmental attributes."We still need to eat and shower—and it is still worth taking shorter showers to save our stressed urban water supplies—but now consumers have a new tool to help us make more informed choices about different types of products based on a new sustainability rating," says Foran.Different to other studies because of its detailed observation of the full production chain, this report is able to show the full effects--both direct and indirect of the production of an individual commodity or service, cappuccinos( 卡布奇诺咖啡)or haircuts. It highlights sustainability challenges for different industries and points out areas in the production chain where a focused effort would make a significant difference.All effects are referenced back to a consumption dollar roughly the dollar spent by a consumer in everyday life. It also shows that each consumption dollar is quite different-some dollars are positive and create employment, or suck in imports or generate government revenue. Other consumption dollars are less positive through their high use of water or production of greenhouse gas emissions.This relatively simple presentation of highly complex issues makes this a powerful tool for people who are interested in sustainability to move beyond decisions based on dollars and cents and enables them to make decisions based on a contribution to society, environment, and economy.21. The new report on sustainability ________.A) suggests that saving water by raking shorter showers is ineffectiveB) provides more effective daily ways that can protect environmentC) indicates that drinking juice wastes more water than taking long showerD) reveals that milk uses more water in its production than juice does22. According to the passage, Balancing Act __________.A) is developed for 135 industry sectors of the Australian economyB) is the first environmental protection organization developed by scientistsC) quantifies the environmental impact of ten social and financial indicatorsD) helps keep sustainability of Australia's economy, society and environment23. What benefit does Barney Foran think consumers can get from the new report?A) It urges people to take shorter showers to save water.B) It enables people to be wiser in selecting products.C) It saves the urban water supplies for people to take shower.D) It informs people of a fresh sustainability rating.24. According to the passage, what makes the new report special?A) It observes the full production chain in detail.B) It informs consumers of a new sustainability rating.C) It shows the indirect effects of an individual product.D) It stresses the challenges different industries face.25. By using “a consumption dollar”, the report authors ________.A) help people make decisions based on dollars and centsB) simplify the complex issue of greenhouse gas emissionsC) discuss economy’s contribution to society and environmentD) show different impacts and contributions of our daily consumptionPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Marriage emerged as the most popular institution throughout history primarily because it was an effective arrangement to improve the care and upbringing of children. Marriage is not necessary to have children, but it has been of enormous importance in the rearing of children.With the sharp declines in birth rates since 1970 in Western and other rich countries, including much larger fractions of adults who do not have any children, both men and women have significantly increased their ages marriage, and sharply raised their tendencies to divorce. In 1950, a typical woman and man married at ages 20.3 and 22.8 respectively, whereas now the typical marital ages are 26.0 and 27.7. These changes in age at marriage are related to reduced demand for many children, increased college education of both men and women but especially of women, much greater labor force participation of married and divorced women, and the narrowing of the gender gap in earnings.The most important economic and social concerns due to low marriage rates are the effects on roaring of children. These effects are not due to lower marriage rates alone, but rather to the close connection between these low rates and high divorce rates, and to the greater tendency of women to have children without being married, or without living with the fathers of their children.Although many single mothers do an absolutely wonderful job in raising their children, common sense and most academic findings suggest that having a father present during the raising of children generally has a positive effect on the development of non-cognitive ( 非认知性) traits of children, These include a general respect for authority and reduced rebelliousness in school, and the avoidance of gangs and other criminal activities. It also appears that the absence of fathers has a greater effect, on the non-cognitive traits of sons than daughters, although that is a less well-established finding.I am not claiming that children are worst oft" when their parents divorce if their parents were fighting a lot, or if they bad abusive (粗暴的) fathers. Rather, it, appearsthat up to a significant point, children are, better off in intact families even when their families are not ideal.26. What do we learn from the first paragraph about marriage?A) It is primarily a necessary step to have children.B) It meets resistance in Western and other rich countries.C) It has a tremendous impact on the rearing of children.D) It is the most important institution throughout history.27. What may give rise to the changes in marriage age?A) Sharply rising divorce rate.B) Greater work participation of men.C) Increased college education of women.D) Narrowed gender gap in the labor market.28. What does the author say about low marriage rates?A) It lowers divorce rates to some extent.B) It results in greater tendency of single mothers.C) It is mainly due to the issue of raising children.D) It provokes economic and social concerns.29. Some findings suggest that raising children with a father present can_______.A) urge children to follow all the rules in schoolB) avoid children's engagement in criminal activitiesC) promote the development of children's cognitive traitsD) have a greater effect on the non-cognitive traits of daughters30. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author believes_______.A) parents' divorce will hinder children's developmentB) children are worse off ff they had abusive fathersC) parents should divorce ff they were fighting frequentlyD) an intact family is better for children to a certain degreePart II Vocabulary and Structure (30 minutes)Section ADirections: For each of the following incomplete sentence, there are four words or expressions marked A), B,) C) and D). Choose the one that best completes the sentence. Write the corresponding letter in the blanks.31. This species of dolphin is widely _throughout the world.A) distributed(分布)B) spread C) extended D) contributed题意为：这种海豚在全世界都有广泛分布。

1African elephants have been slaughtered at alarming rate over the past decade, largely because they are the primary source of the world's ivory. Their population has been dwindled from 1.3 million in 1979 to just 625,000 today, and the rate of killing has been accelerating in recent years because many of the older, bigger tusked animals have already been destroyed. "The poachers now must kill times as many elephants to get the same quantity of ivory," explained Curtis Bohlen, Senior vice president of the World Wildlife Fund.Though its record on the environment has been spotty so far, the government last week took the lead in a major conservation issue by imposing a ban on ivory imports into the US. The move came just four days after a consortium of conservation groups, including the World Wildlife Fund and Wildlife Conservation International, called for that kind of action, and it made the US the first nation to forbid imports of both raw and finished ivory. The ban, says Bohlen, sends a very clear message to the ivory poachers that the game is over.In the past African nations have resisted an ivory ban, but increasingly they realised that the decimation of the elephant herds poses a serious threat to their tourist business. Last month Tanzania and several other African countries called for an amendment to the 102 nation Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species that would make the ivory trade illegal worldwide. The amendment is expected to be approved at an October meeting in Geneva and to go into effect next January. But between now and then, conversationists contend, poachers may go on a rampage, killing elephants wholesale, so nations should unilaterally forbid imports right away. The US government brought that argument, and by week's end the twelve nation European Community had followed with its own ban.1.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A) African Elephants and the Ivory Trade.B) A Bid to Save the Elephant.C) The Poachers.D) Elephants In Danger.2.According to the passage, "dwindle" means ____.A) decrease B) enlarge C) weaken D) elimilate3.Since many of the older, bigger- tusked animals have already been destroyed, what did the poacher do?A) They gave up poaching.B) They killed more elephants to get the same quantity of ivory.C) To them, game is over.D) They realized it was illegal to slaughter elephants.4.Why did the African nations welcome an ivory ban?A) The rate of killing has been accelerating.B) The US government forbids imports of both raw and finished ivory.C) They realised that the killing of elephants is a serious threat to their tourist business.D) African people advocated an ivory ban.5.What's the author's attitude?A) Subjective. B) Neutral. C) Possimistic. D) Active.答案与解析：1.B。

TPO35 Reading passage 2答案解析
TPO35 Reading KeysPassage 2Population Growth in Nineteenth-Century EuropeParagraph 1Because of industrialization, but also because of a vast increase in agricultural output without which industrialization would have been impossible, Western Europeans by the latter half of the nineteenth century enjoyed higher standards of living and longer, healthier lives than most of the world’s peoples. In Europe as a whole, the population rose from 188 million in 1800 to 400 million in 1900. By 1900, virtually every area of Europe had contributed to the tremendous surge of population, but each major region was at a different stage of demographic change. Paragraph 2Improvements in the food supply continued trends that had started in the late seventeenth century. New lands were put under cultivation, while the use of crops of American origin, particularly the potato, continued to expand. Setbacks did occur. Regional agricultural failures were the most common cause of economic recessions until 1850, and they could lead to localized famine as well. A major potato blight (disease) in 1846-1847 led to the deaths of at least one million persons in Ireland and the emigration of another million, and Ireland never recovered the population levels the potato had sustained to that point. Bad grain harvests at the same time led to increased hardship throughout much of Europe.Paragraph 3After 1850, however, the expansion of foods more regularly kept pace with population growth, though the poorer classes remained malnourished. Two developments were crucial. First, the application of science and new technology to agriculture increased. Led by German universities, increasing research was devoted to improving seeds, developing chemical fertilizers, and advancing livestock. After 1861, with the development of land-grant universities in the United States that had huge agricultural programs, American crop-production research added to this mix. Mechanization included the use of horse-drawn harvesters and seed drills, many developed initially in the United States. It also included mechanical cream separators and other food-processing devices that improved supply.Q15 The phrase kept pace with in the passage is closest in meaning toA.exceededB.matched the increase inC.increased the rate ofD.caused正确答案: B解析：回到原文“After 1850, however, the expansion of foods more regularly kept pace with population growth, though the poorer classes remained malnourished”，这句话主句和从句是转折的关系，从句中的意思是“穷苦阶级在营养方面仍然跟不上”，所以转折之前主句中的意思应该是食品的数量是跟得上人口数量增长的。

I have been a boarder(寄宿生) with the Carsons for more than a year and a half.The Carsons live in their own house, which has four bedrooms including the one in thebasement(底层) which I live in. Judy does all the work in the house and Andrew is responsible for the work in the garden. When they go out in they evening, they often ask me to look after their children.Judy’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Morris, lived in another city. Judy was their only child and naturallythey doted on(溺爱) Judy’s children. They often sent the children presents.Last April Mr. Morris died. Now that Mrs. Morris was quite alone, I expected that Judy would want her to come and live with them. One day, Margaret told me grandma was coming to live with them and her daddy and mummy would want my room back. The news didn’t surprise me and the next day I went to Judy and asked her about it. I said I couldn’t think of living in their basement room any longer if it was needed for Mrs. Morris. Judy seemed surprised at first. Then she told me there was no deed for me to move, for they hadn’t yet come to any decision about her mother coming to live with them. “Naturally I’m worried about my mother. She has been in poor health.”She smiled sadly and added. “To be honest, Andrew and my mother have never got on well. We’llwait a bit and see what happens. Perhaps Moter will be all right living herself, of perhaps they will both change their minds.”That was six months ago. During this time I’ve heard that Mrs. Morris has had two illnesses and that her health has got worse. A nursing home was mentioned once but Mrs. Morris refused to go there. So up to now she’s still living alone and I’m still living in the basement room.1. What is the relationship between the speaker and the Carsons?A. He is a brother of Andrew Carson.B.

Why did the speaker expect Mrs. Morris to come to live with her daughter?A. Because Mr. Morris was dead.B. Because Mrs. Morris suffered from illness.C. Because Mrs. Morris lived all by herself.D. Because of all the reasons mentioned in A, B and C.3. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Mrs. Morris was coming to live with the Carsons, so they asked the speaker to move.B. Judy had no brothers or sisters to look after her mother.C. Mrs. Morris loved her grandchildren very much.D. The Carsons once suggested that Mrs. Morris go to live in a nursing home.4. Why didn’t Mrs. Morris come to live with her daughter’s family?A. Because the speaker lived in the basement room and there was no other room for her to live in.B. Because she did not have a good relationship with her son-in-law.C. Because she was in rather poor health and could not come.D. Because she did not want to leave her own house.5. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. My Landlady.B. The Boarder.C. Family Relationships is Canada.D. Nursing Homes and the Aged.（D）Robert is nine years old and Joanna is seven. They live at Mount Ebenezer. Their father has a big property. In Australia they call a farm a property.Robert and Joanna like school very much. At school they can talk to their friends but Robert and Joanna cannot see their friends. They live 100, perhaps 300, miles away and like Robert and Joanna, they all go to school by radio.Mount Ebenezer is in the centre of Australia. Not many people live in “The Centre”.

TPO-41 Reading 1 解析
Q1正确答案：B解析：以倾倒细腻的且精确控制流量的彩色石沙或者是粉末状的植物和矿物质，花粉，花朵为制作材料，然后以precise的模式在地面上画出来。
由此可见，制作painting的材料和制作手法都是非常讲究细致的，所以修饰pattern的应该也是一个精确精准含义的词，这里“exact”的意思相同。
其余选项的意思分别是“五彩的”、“精致的”、“复杂的”，在上下文均没有确切的依据。
选项C的delicate侧重于小巧精致，而作画显然是有既定的样板去遵从，所以exact才是准确的。
Q2正确答案：D解析：这句话的意思是，技术高超的画家和歌唱家在仪式上招募“鬼魂”，后者由面具者扮演。
这里的“enlist”意思是“招募”，与D选项意思一样。
其余选项分别意为“帮助”、“要求”和“描述”。
从前后文来看，enlist the aid of ，招募，征募，能够和spirits搭配且符合文意的，也只有D选项。
Q3正确答案：C解析：第一段最后说，“These complex paintings serve as memory aids to guide the singers during the performance of the ritual songs”，也就是chants非常复杂，需要绘画来辅助记忆。
24个chants 最多由500个sand paintings 来表达，这些复杂的paintings 为了帮助singers 在表演的时候记住内容的，相当于记忆提示。
A错在large number；B错在段落没有强调这种对应关系。
Q4正确答案：D解析：A、B和C三个选项分别对应“create the finely detailed imagery”，“spirits who are impersonated by masked performers”以及“cover the entire floor of a room”（画的位置表明仪式是在室内进行）。

TPO-31 Reading 3 解析
Q1正确答案：C解析：可以根据词根推断词意，prolonged词根为long，“长度”。
p rolonged（形容词），“持久的，长期的”；prolong（动词）, “延长”。
选项C的length是长度的意思，lengthy变为形容词，和prolonged是近义词。
Q2正确答案：B解析：根据词汇定位到Such conditions prevail throughout much of northern South America and Cuba, but many Central American savannas as well as coastal areas of Brazil and the island of Trinidad do not fit this pattern。
这句话前半句和后半句是转折关系，也就是说Central America等地和前面介绍的地方pattern不一样，提到它们是为了指出例外情况。
Q3正确答案：D解析：根据关键词differ定位段落第1句，“稀树草原和雨林的土壤是相似的，但是稀树草原的土壤更极端一点”。
extreme soil的特点定位到段尾extreme soil conditions, either too wet or too dry for forests, are satisfactory for savannas。
D选项是对这个特点准确的同义改写。
Q4正确答案：B解析：notably，副词，“尤其；特别；极大程度上；非常”。
形容词形式notable，“值得注意的；显著的；重要的”。
Q5正确答案：A解析：这道题问的是关于Savanna的土壤成分哪个选项错误。
根据notably low concentrations of such minerals as phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, and potassium，确定A选项错误。
