Sectin B
Directins: Cmplete the fllwing passage by using the wrds in the bx. Each wrd can nly be used nce. Nte that there is ne wrd mre than yu need.
“Dealing with mney is a basic life skill”
Why financial transactins are abut relatinships and why the
quality f the relatinship is mre imprtant than the transactin itself.
British psychlgist, William Blm, has lng argued that sciety wuld benefit if mney flwed mre freely-if, fr example, peple regularly give part f their salaries r prfits t charity.
When yu say, “Mney shuld flw mre freely,” what d yu mean?
“There are tw metaphrs that I like t use fr mney. One is the energy f the envirnment and human nature. Mney represents a(n) ___11___ f these energies; it’s a materialized frm f energy. The ther metaphr is water. If yu lk at water, it can be still and plluted r, nce the dams are pened, it has the ability t ___12___ itself. Healthy energy flws in the way rich peple shuld allw their mney t flw. If they are gd, they will knw hw t give.”
Mney still isn’t flwing freely.
A lt f it is dammed up in banks and in the hands f a small percentage f extremely wealthy individuals. “We have t build a sciety in which we are nt threatened by each ther. The gap between the rich and the pr ___13___ scial cnnectin and harmny. The Baby Bmers (婴儿潮一代) are t cmfrtable fr t lng. Nw they have t ask themselves what their plitics are, because life is plitical. This is the time fr all f us t ___14___ plitically.”
Hw can we deal with mney in a healthier way?
“When it cmes t mney, there is a lt f naiveté. Children need t be taught in schl that dealing with mney is a basic life skill. They need t be able t read a bank statement in a(n) ___15___ way. When a transactin takes place, this means ___16___ pausing t say, ‘This exchange affects me in this and this way.’ We are ften in t much f a hurry t realize that. We als frget that transactins are first and fremst abut relatinships. The quality f that relatinship is mre imprtant than the transactin itself. That’s why Beduins (游牧民族贝都因人) always share a cup f tea when they d business tgether. They understand the need t ___17___ their relatinship with thers.”
Anther frm f flw is giving. Can that be a kind f spiritual practice?
“Humans are paradxical beings. It is pssible t have pure ___18___ and t get satisfactin as a by-prduct frm yur actins. There is the classic idea that giving away mney brings a sense f safety and satisfactin. And it des. Being alive in this universe cmes frm the ___19___ that yu’re part f a flw in the universe. Peple think highly f altruism (舍己为人), giving away mney t smene wh cannt see yu. Dnating mney t charity is nt just abut the material effect but it als allws yu t pay attentin t what causes yu’re supprting. It’s healthy t give withut thinking f the material ____20____. Mney is neutral, like language. It’s all abut the way in which it is used.”
Ⅲ. Reading Cmprehensin
Sectin A
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
A cure fr the future in the past?
Fr ver fifty years, the peple f Britain have relied n the welfare state t make sure they have adequate health services. But nw the Natinal Health Service is sick. Gvernment ___21___ and underfunding are frcing hspitals t clse, and waiting lists fr treatment are getting lnger. Under such circumstances, it is n surprise that mre peple are turning t private (but expensive) healthcare.
Fr sme, hwever, there are ___22___. They are turning their back n mdern pills, tablets and resrting t ther cnventinal medicine. It seems paradxical, but in an age f micrchips and high technlgy, traditinal medicine, the ld-fashined cures that ur grandparents relied n, is making a ___23___.
Cnsider these case studies:
Maude is 76 years ld and has been suffering frm arthritis fr almst ten years. “The pain in my jints was almst ___24___, and my dctr referred me t a surgen at the Lndn Hspital. I was tld that I needed ___25___, but wuld need t wait fr at least tw years befre I culd have the peratin. In ___26___, I started having massage sessins. T my surprise, these were very therapeutic, and while they didn’t cure the disrder, they did ___27___ it t sme extent”.
Rn is 46. His high-pwered city jb was ___28___ fr a series f stress-related illnesses, and the drugs he tk didn’t wrk well n the nervus strain. “I read abut ___29___ which invlve the whle persn rather than the individual symptms, but I had always dubted abut such kind f medicine fr all diseases. Hwever, my friend ___30___ a dietician wh tld me that part f my prblem was diet-related. Basically, the fd I was eating was ___31___ t my disrder. She gave me a list f fds that wuld prvide the right vitamins and minerals t keep me in gd health. At the same time, she advcated a mre ___32___ lifestyle-running, swimming, that kind f thing. I’ m a bit f a cuch ptat, and this kind f lifestyle I had lived was ___33___ the prblem. Nw I feel great!”
S is there still a place in ur lives fr mdern medicine? While it is true that sme infectins and viruses may be ___34___ by turning t traditinal medicine, mre serius illnesses such as cancer need mre extreme measures. We d need ur health service at these times, and we shuldn’t stp ___35___ in its future. But we mustn’t frget that fr sme cmmn illnesses, the cure may lie in the past.

Then Jackie described hw peple in sme cultures, when they were sad and wanted t share their feelings but culd nt find the wrds t express their srrw, wuld sit in a circle and make rhythmic music tgether. Then everyne picked up ne f the djembe drums in the rm. Jackie began sftly beating hers and the thers jined in. Bm-bm-ta, bm-bm-ta. Slwly, they let the rhythm carry them away.

Peple have been making rhythmic music in grups, using drums. It is a traditin, wherein healing takes place thrugh the spirit and the emtins, thrugh cntact with the bdy and its subtle pwers f self-healing.

THE GLOBAL WASTE TRADE IS ESSENTIALLY BROKEN
Cut int hillside in nrthern Malaysia stands a large, pen-air warehuse. This is a recycling factry, which pened last Nvember. On a very ht afternn in January, Shahid Ali was wrking his very first week n the jb. He std knee-deep in sggy, white bits f plastic. Arund him, mre bits flated f the cnveyr belt and fell t the grund like snwflakes.
Hur after hur, Ali srts thrugh the plastic jumble mving dwn the belt, picking ut pieces that lk ff-clr r siled-rejects (废品) in the recycling prcess. Thugh it lks like backbreaking wrk, Ali says it is a great imprvement ver his previus jb, flding bed-sheets in a nearby textile factry, fr much lwer pay. Nw, if he eats simply, he can save mney frm his wages f just ver $l an hur and send $250 a mnth t his parents and six brthers and sisters in Peshawar, Pakistan, 2,700 miles away, “As sn as I heard abut this wrk, I asked fr a jb,” says Ali, 24, a bearded man with glasses and an easy smile. Still, he’s wrking 12 hurs a day, seven days a week. “If I take a day ff, I lse a day’s wages,” he says.
In the warehuse, hundreds f bags are stacked mre than 60 feet high-each stuffed with plastic wrappers and bags thrwn away weeks earlier by their riginal users in Califrnia. The fact that the waste has traveled t this distant crner f the planet in the first place shws hw badly the glbal recycling ecnmy has failed t keep pace with humanity’s plastics addictin. This is an ecsystem that is deeply dysfunctinal, if nt n the pint f cllapse: Abut 90% f the millins f tns f plastic the wrld prduces every year will eventually end up nt recycled, but burned, buried, r dumped.
Plastic recycling enjys ever-wider supprt amng cnsumers: Putting ygurt cntainers and juice bttles in a blue bin is an ec-friendly act f faith in millins f husehlds. But faith ges nly s far. The tidal wave f plastic items that enters the recycling stream each year is increasingly likely t fall right back ut again, casualties f a brken market. Many prducts that cnsumers believe (and industries claim) are “recyclable" are in reality nt, because f hard ecnmics. With il and gas prices near 20-year lws, s-called virgin plastic, a prduct f petrleum feed-stcks, is nw far cheaper and easier t btain than recycled material. That unfreseen shift has yanked the financial rug ut frm under what was until recently a practical recycling industry. “The glbal waste trade is essentially brken,” says the head f the glbal plastics campaign at Greenpeace. “We are sitting n vast amunts f plastic with nwhere t send it and nthing t d with it.”
43. What is the authr’s attitude twards Shahid Ali?
A. Critical.B. Merciless.C. Indifferent.D. Sympathetic.
44. What mst prbably causes the prblem f glbal waste recycling?
A. The prices f il and gas have been increasing.
B. Tns f wastes travel s far befre being recycled.
C. Recyclable prducts are nt really recycled.
D. Gvernments dn’t supprt the recycling industry.
45. What des the italicized wrd “dysfunctinal” mean in the passage?
A. Out f stck.B. Far frm pleased.C. Full f energy.D. Out f rder.
46. What is the authr’s purpse f writing this article?
A. T illustrate hw plastic waste has been recycled in the wrld.
B. T warn peple that the glbal waste trade is essentially brken.
C. T analyze the relatinship between cnsumers and factries.
D. T slve the cnflict between the recycling industry and gvernments.
Sectin C
Directins: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a prper sentence given in the bx. Each sentence can be used nly nce. Nte that there are tw mre sentences than yu need.
Martha Stewart was charged, tried and cnvicted f a crime in 2014. As she neared the end f her prisn sentence, a well-knwn clumnist wrte that she was “paying her dues,” and that “there is simply n reasn fr anyne t attempt t deny her right t start anew. ”
___________47___________ Unfrtunately, many federal and state laws impse pst-cnvictin restrictins n a shckingly large number f Americans, wh are prevented frm ever fully paying their debt t sciety.
At least 65 millin peple in the United States have a criminal recrd. This can result in severe penalties (惩罚) that cntinue lng after punishment is cmpleted.
Many f these penalties are impsed regardless f the seriusness f the ffense r the persn’s individual circumstances. _____________48_____________ They can affect a persn’s ability t get a jb and qualificatin fr benefits.
In all, mre than 45,000 laws and rules serve t exclude vast numbers f peple frm fully participating in American life. Sme laws make senses. N ne advcates letting smene cnvicted f pedphilia (恋童癖) wrk in a schl. _____________49_____________ Shuld a wman wh pssessed a small amunt f drugs years ag be permanently unable t be licensed as a nurse?
These laws are als cunterprductive (适得其反), since they make it harder fr peple with criminal recrds t find husing r a jb, tw key factrs that reduce backsliding. A recent reprt makes several recmmendatins, including the ablitin f mst pst-cnvictin penalties, except fr thse specifically needed t prtect public safety. _____________50_____________
The pint isn’t t excuse r frget the crime. Rather, it is t recgnize that in America’s vast criminal justice system, and secnd chances are crucial. It is in n ne's interest t keep a large segment f the ppulatin n the margins f sciety.
A. Criminals shuld pay the price f finding husing r a jb and getting qualificatins fr benefits.
B. Surely, the American ideal f secnd chances shuldn’t be reserved nly fr the rich and pwerful.
C. But t ften cllateral (附随的) cnsequences bear n relatin t public safety.
D. Where the penalties are nt a must, they shuld be impsed nly if the facts f a case supprt it.
E. American’s vast criminal justice system prvides criminals with necessary supprt fr living.
F. Laws can restrict r ban vting, access t public husing, and prfessinal and business licensing.
IV. Summary Writing
51. Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Summarize the main idea and the main pint(s) f the passage in n mre than 60 wrds. Use yur wn wrds as far as pssible.
The questin f whether ur gvernment shuld prmte science and technlgy r the liberal arts in higher educatin isn’t an either/r prpsitin, althugh the current emphasis n preparing yung Americans fr STEM (science, technlgy, engineering, maths)-related fields can make it seem that way.
The latest cngressinal reprt acknwledges the critical imprtance f technical training, but als claims that the study f the humanities (人文学科) and scial sciences must remain central cmpnents f America’s educatinal system at all levels. Bth are critical t prducing citizens wh can participate effectively in ur demcratic sciety, becme innvative leaders, and benefit frm the spiritual enrichment that the reflectin n the great ideas f mankind ver time prvides.
Parents and students wh have invested heavily in higher educatin wrry abut graduates’ jb prspects as technlgical advances and changes in dmestic and glbal markets transfrm prfessins in ways that reduce wages and cut jbs. Under these circumstances, it’s natural t lk fr what may appear t be the mst “practical” way ut f the prblem “Majr in a subject designed t get yu a jb” seems the bvius answer t sme, thugh this ignres the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as “sft” ften, in fact, lead t emplyment and success in the lng run. Indeed, accrding t surveys, emplyers have expressed a preference fr students wh have received a bradly-based educatin that has taught them t write well, think critically, research creatively, and cmmunicate easily.
Mrever, students shuld be prepared nt just fr their first jb, but fr their 4th and 5th jbs, as there’s little reasn t dubt that peple entering the wrkfrce tday will be called upn t play many different rles ver the curse f their careers. The nes wh will d the best in this new envirnment will be thse whse educatins have prepared them t be flexible. The ability t draw upn every available tl and insight－picked up frm science, arts, and technlgy－t slve the prblems f the future, and take advantage f the pprtunities that present themselves, will be helpful t them and the United States.

“Dealing with mney is a basic life skill”
Why financial transactins are abut relatinships and why the
quality f the relatinship is mre imprtant than the transactin itself.
British psychlgist, William Blm, has lng argued that sciety wuld benefit if mney flwed mre freely-if, fr example, peple regularly give part f their salaries r prfits t charity.

“There are tw metaphrs that I like t use fr mney. One is the energy f the envirnment and human nature. Mney represents a(n) ___11___ f these energies; it’s a materialized frm f energy. The ther metaphr is water. If yu lk at water, it can be still and plluted r, nce the dams are pened, it has the ability t ___12___ itself. Healthy energy flws in the way rich peple shuld allw their mney t flw. If they are gd, they will knw hw t give.”
Mney still isn’t flwing freely.
A lt f it is dammed up in banks and in the hands f a small percentage f extremely wealthy individuals. “We have t build a sciety in which we are nt threatened by each ther. The gap between the rich and the pr ___13___ scial cnnectin and harmny. The Baby Bmers (婴儿潮一代) are t cmfrtable fr t lng. Nw they have t ask themselves what their plitics are, because life is plitical. This is the time fr all f us t ___14___ plitically.”
Hw can we deal with mney in a healthier way?
“When it cmes t mney, there is a lt f naiveté. Children need t be taught in schl that dealing with mney is a basic life skill. They need t be able t read a bank statement in a(n) ___15___ way. When a transactin takes place, this means ___16___ pausing t say, ‘This exchange affects me in this and this way.’ We are ften in t much f a hurry t realize that. We als frget that transactins are first and fremst abut relatinships. The quality f that relatinship is mre imprtant than the transactin itself. That’s why Beduins (游牧民族贝都因人) always share a cup f tea when they d business tgether. They understand the need t ___17___ their relatinship with thers.”
Anther frm f flw is giving. Can that be a kind f spiritual practice?
“Humans are paradxical beings. It is pssible t have pure ___18___ and t get satisfactin as a by-prduct frm yur actins. There is the classic idea that giving away mney brings a sense f safety and satisfactin. And it des. Being alive in this universe cmes frm the ___19___ that yu’re part f a flw in the universe. Peple think highly f altruism (舍己为人), giving away mney t smene wh cannt see yu. Dnating mney t charity is nt just abut the material effect but it als allws yu t pay attentin t what causes yu’re supprting. It’s healthy t give withut thinking f the material ____20____.

THE GLOBAL WASTE TRADE IS ESSENTIALLY BROKEN
Cut int hillside in nrthern Malaysia stands a large, pen-air warehuse. This is a recycling factry, which pened last Nvember. On a very ht afternn in January, Shahid Ali was wrking his very first week n the jb. He std knee-deep in sggy, white bits f plastic. Arund him, mre bits flated f the cnveyr belt and fell t the grund like snwflakes.
Hur after hur, Ali srts thrugh the plastic jumble mving dwn the belt, picking ut pieces that lk ff-clr r siled-rejects (废品) in the recycling prcess. Thugh it lks like backbreaking wrk, Ali says it is a great imprvement ver his previus jb, flding bed-sheets in a nearby textile factry, fr much lwer pay. Nw, if he eats simply, he can save mney frm his wages f just ver $l an hur and send $250 a mnth t his parents and six brthers and sisters in Peshawar, Pakistan, 2,700 miles away, “As sn as I heard abut this wrk, I asked fr a jb,” says Ali, 24, a bearded man with glasses and an easy smile. Still, he’s wrking 12 hurs a day, seven days a week. “If I take a day ff, I lse a day’s wages,” he says.
In the warehuse, hundreds f bags are stacked mre than 60 feet high-each stuffed with plastic wrappers and bags thrwn away weeks earlier by their riginal users in Califrnia. The fact that the waste has traveled t this distant crner f the planet in the first place shws hw badly the glbal recycling ecnmy has failed t keep pace with humanity’s plastics addictin. This is an ecsystem that is deeply dysfunctinal, if nt n the pint f cllapse: Abut 90% f the millins f tns f plastic the wrld prduces every year will eventually end up nt recycled, but burned, buried, r dumped.
Plastic recycling enjys ever-wider supprt amng cnsumers: Putting ygurt cntainers and juice bttles in a blue bin is an ec-friendly act f faith in millins f husehlds. But faith ges nly s far. The tidal wave f plastic items that enters the recycling stream each year is increasingly likely t fall right back ut again, casualties f a brken market. Many prducts that cnsumers believe (and industries claim) are “recyclable" are in reality nt, because f hard ecnmics. With il and gas prices near 20-year lws, s-called virgin plastic, a prduct f petrleum feed-stcks, is nw far cheaper and easier t btain than recycled material. That unfreseen shift has yanked the financial rug ut frm under what was until recently a practical recycling industry. “The glbal waste trade is essentially brken,” says the head f the glbal plastics campaign at Greenpeace. “We are sitting n vast amunts f plastic with nwhere t send it and nthing t d with it.”
43. What is the authr’s attitude twards Shahid Ali?
A. Critical.B. Merciless.C. Indifferent.D. Sympathetic.
44. What mst prbably causes the prblem f glbal waste recycling?
A. The prices f il and gas have been increasing.

【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“On a very ht afternn in January, Shahid Ali was wrking his very first week n the jb. He std knee-deep in sggy, white bits f plastic. Arund him, mre bits flated f the cnveyr belt and fell t the grund like snwflakes.(1月一个非常炎热的下午，沙希德·阿里正在工作的第一周。他站在齐膝深的湿漉漉的白色塑料碎片里。在他周围，更多的碎片从传送带上飘下来，像雪花一样落在地上)”以及第二段“Hur after hur, Ali srts thrugh the plastic jumble mving dwn the belt, picking ut pieces that lk ff-clr r siled-rejects (废品) in the recycling prcess. Thugh it lks like backbreaking wrk, Ali says it is a great imprvement ver his previus jb, flding bed-sheets in a nearby textile factry, fr much lwer pay. Nw, if he eats simply, he can save mney frm his wages f just ver $l an hur and send $250 a mnth t his parents and six brthers and sisters in Peshawar, Pakistan, 2,700 miles away, “As sn as I heard abut this wrk, I asked fr a jb,” says Ali, 24, a bearded man with glasses and an easy smile. Still, he’s wrking 12 hurs a day, seven days a week. “If I take a day ff, I lse a day’s wages,” he says.(一个小时又一个小时，阿里在垃圾传送带上的塑料垃圾中进行分类，挑出那些看起来颜色不佳或在回收过程中被弄脏的垃圾。虽然这份工作看起来很辛苦，但阿里说，与他之前在附近一家纺织厂叠床单的工作相比，这是一个很大的进步，工资要低得多。现在，如果他吃得简单，他可以从每小时1美元多一点的工资中省下钱，每月给2700英里外的巴基斯坦白沙瓦的父母和六个兄弟姐妹寄250美元。“我一听说这份工作，就找了份工作，”24岁的阿里说，他留着胡子，戴着眼镜，脸上带着轻松的微笑。尽管如此，他仍然每天工作12小时，每周工作7天。“如果我请一天假，我就会损失一天的工资，”他说)”可推知，作者对沙希德·阿里感到同情。故选D。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Many prducts that cnsumers believe (and industries claim) are “recyclable" are in reality nt, because f hard ecnmics.(许多消费者相信（以及行业声称）的产品是“可回收的”，但由于经济原因，实际上并非如此)”可知，可回收产品并不是真正的回收最有可能导致全球废物回收的问题。故选C。
【45题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The fact that the waste has traveled t this distant crner f the planet in the first place shws hw badly the glbal recycling ecnmy has failed t keep pace with humanity’s plastics addictin.(垃圾从一开始就来到地球上这个遥远的角落，这一事实表明，全球循环经济无法跟上人类对塑料的依赖)”以及后文“Abut 90% f the millins f tns f plastic the wrld prduces every year will eventually end up nt recycled, but burned, buried, r dumped.(全球每年生产的数百万吨塑料中，约有90%最终没有被回收利用，而是被焚烧、掩埋或倾倒)”可知，全球循环经济无法跟上人类对塑料的依赖，因此这个系统已经失调了，不再正常运转，故划线词意思是“机能失调的”，与Out f rder(不工作，损坏：指不能正常工作或使用)意思相近。故选D。
【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The fact that the waste has traveled t this distant crner f the planet in the first place shws hw badly the glbal recycling ecnmy has failed t keep pace with humanity’s plastics addictin. This is an ecsystem that is deeply dysfunctinal, if nt n the pint f cllapse: Abut 90% f the millins f tns f plastic the wrld prduces every year will eventually end up nt recycled, but burned, buried, r dumped.(垃圾从一开始就来到地球上这个遥远的角落，这一事实表明，全球循环经济无法跟上人类对塑料的依赖。这是一个严重失调的生态系统，如果不是濒临崩溃：全球每年生产的数百万吨塑料中，约有90%最终不会被回收利用，而是被焚烧、掩埋或倾倒)”结合文章通过Shahid Ali捡垃圾为引入，说明了全球垃圾贸易基本上已经崩溃的事实。由此推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是警告人们，全球垃圾贸易基本上已经破裂。故选B。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了美国社会关于人们犯罪以后的处罚和对个人的影响。
47题详解】
根据第一段“Martha Stewart was charged, tried and cnvicted f a crime in 2014. As she neared the end f her prisn sentence, a well-knwn clumnist wrte that she was “paying her dues,” and that “there is simply n reasn fr anyne t attempt t deny her right t start anew. ”(2014年，玛莎·斯图尔特被指控、审判并被定罪。在她的刑期即将结束时，一位知名专栏作家写道，她正在“付出代价”，“任何人都没有理由试图剥夺她重新开始的权利”)”后文“Unfrtunately, many federal and state laws impse pst-cnvictin restrictins n a shckingly large number f Americans, wh are prevented frm ever fully paying their debt t sciety.(不幸的是，许多联邦和州法律对数量惊人的美国人施加了定罪后的限制，使他们无法完全偿还对社会的债务)”可知，第一段提到作家认为玛莎·斯图尔特有重新开始的权利，后文则提到许多联邦和州法律对数量惊人的美国人施加了定罪后的限制，说明美国人拥有第二次重新进入社会的机会是普遍存在的，只是存在定罪后的限制。故B选项“当然，美国人对第二次机会的理想不应该只留给有钱有势的人”符合语境，故选B。
【48题详解】
根据上文“Many f these penalties are impsed regardless f the seriusness f the ffense r the persn’s individual circumstances.(这些处罚中有许多是不考虑犯罪的严重程度或个人情况而施加的)”可知，本句主要承接上文，就法律的具体处罚进行举例说明。故F选项“法律可以限制或禁止投票、获得公共住房、专业和商业执照”符合语境，故选F。
【49题详解】
根据上文“In all, mre than 45,000 laws and rules serve t exclude vast numbers f peple frm fully participating in American life. Sme laws make senses. N ne advcates letting smene cnvicted f pedphilia (恋童癖) wrk in a schl.(总共有超过45000条法律和法规将大量的人排除在充分参与美国生活之外。有些法律是有道理的。没有人主张让被判有恋童癖的人在学校工作)”以及后文“Shuld a wman wh pssessed a small amunt f drugs years ag be permanently unable t be licensed as a nurse?(一个多年前拥有少量毒品的妇女是否应该永远不能获得护士执照？)”可知，后文的例子表明法律对犯罪的人的惩罚更多是关于限制个人在某些领域或行业的权利，但不涉及到公共安全。故C选项“但是附带后果往往与公共安全无关”符合语境，故选C。
【50题详解】
根据上文“These laws are als cunterprductive (适得其反), since they make it harder fr peple with criminal recrds t find husing r a jb, tw key factrs that reduce backsliding. A recent reprt makes several recmmendatins, including the ablitin f mst pst-cnvictin penalties, except fr thse specifically needed t prtect public safety.(这些法律也会适得其反，因为它们使有犯罪记录的人更难找到住房或工作，而这两个因素是减少堕落的关键因素。最近的一份报告提出了几项建议，包括废除大多数定罪后的处罚，除了那些特别需要保护公共安全的处罚)”可知，上文提到建议废除大多数定罪后的处罚，除了那些特别需要保护公共安全的处罚，可见对于一些不必要的处罚可以根据犯罪情节决定要不要实施。故D选项“如果处罚不是必须的，只有在案件事实支持的情况下，才应该施加处罚”符合语境，故选D。

52. 比赛结束时，观众席上掌声雷动。(burst) (汉译英)
________________________________________________________________
【答案】When the game was ver, a burst f applause came frm the audience.
When the game was ver, the audience burst int applause.
【详解】考查动词短语、时态和状语从句。“比赛结束时”是时间状语从句，用从属连词when引导，主语“比赛”用the game表示，“结束”用短语be ver表示，讲述过去的事情用一般过去时态was ver；“观众席上掌声雷动”是主句，可用“掌声”作主语，译为a burst f applause，“观众席上”理解为“来自观众席”，谓语“来自”用动词短语cme frm表示，讲述过去的事情用一般过去时态came frm，宾语“观众席”用the audience表示，也可用“观众”作主语，译为the audience，“掌声雷动”理解为“爆发出掌声”，谓语“爆发”用动词短语burst int表示，讲述过去的事情用一般过去时态burst int，宾语“掌声”用applause表示。综上，全句可译为：When the game was ver, a burst f applause came frm the audience./When the game was ver, the audience burst int applause.

【详解】考查时态、原因状语从句、动词短语。分析句子结构，“由于路面结冰”为时间状语从句，使用连词as连接从句，因句子表示的是过去发生的动作，谓语动词使用一般过去时，句子可以使用“主系表”结构或“主谓结构”，也即使用过去分词做表语或使用一般过去时的被动语态，翻译为：As rads were frzen或As rads were cvered with ice；表示“高速公路”含义的表达为：freeway或expressway或highway，“部分高速公路临时封闭”为主谓结构，因主语与谓语之间为被动关系，使用被动语态，因句子表示的是过去发生的动作，谓语动词使用一般过去时的被动语态，翻译为：sme freeways/expressways/highways were clsed temprarily；“致使许多乘客困在路上” 为主谓结构，因主语与谓语之间为被动关系，使用被动语态，因句子表示的是过去发生的动作，谓语动词使用一般过去时的被动语态，翻译为：many passengers were trapped n the rads；表示“最好……”含义的表达为：It is better t d；表示“留意天气预报”含义的表达为：listen t the weather bradcast；表示“出门前”含义的表达为：befre starting ut或befre setting ff或befre leaving或befre departure，翻译为：It’s better t listen t the weather bradcast befre starting ut/setting ff/leaving/departure，故翻译为：As rads were frzen/cvered with ice, sme freeways/expressways/highways were clsed temprarily, and many passengers were trapped n the rads. It’s better t listen t the weather bradcast befre starting ut/setting ff/leaving/departure.
