【12题详解】

【答案】14. less lucky
15. Having spent
16. am advised
17. dn’t realize
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者喜欢钓鱼。虽然他总是钓不到鱼，但他更享受坐在船上无所事事的感觉。
【14题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：我就更不幸运了。提示词lucky是形容词，作表语，结合下文“I never catch anything”可知，作者比前面提到的钓者“更不幸”，用比较级less lucky。故填less lucky。
15题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在河上度过了整个上午后，我回家时总是空着袋子。“(spend) whle mrnings n the river”作时间状语，spend是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语I之间是主动关系，且“在河上度过了整个上午”发生在主句中“我回家”这一动作之前，应用现在分词的完成式，表示主动和动作已经发生；句首单词首字母大写。故填Having spent。
【16题详解】
考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意：我经常被建议放弃钓鱼，因为我的朋友认为这对我来说是浪费时间。提示词advice(建议)是名词，在主句中作谓语动词，应用动词advise(建议)，与主语I之间是被动关系，结合时间状语Very ften可知，描述经常发生的事情，应用一般现在时的被动语态，又因主语是I，助动词用am。故填am advised。
【17题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：但他们没有意识到一件重要的事情。realize是谓语动词，与主语they之间是主动关系，结合语境，描述当前的状态，用一般现在时态，主语是复数代词，谓语用复数形式；结合提示词nt可知，应用否定形式，借助助动词d构成一般现在时的否定形式dn’t realize。故填dn’t realize。
C
阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。

19. which 20. Given
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了自己遭遇的瑞典交通警察处理违规停车的情况，赞赏了瑞典交通警察的礼貌和尊重。
【18题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：如果你把车停错了地方，交通警察很快就会发现你在做什么。分析句子可知，“ yu d”是宾语从句，从句缺少宾语，结合句意，表示“(你在做)什么”，应用连接代词what引导该从句。故填what。
【19题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在瑞典度假时，我在车上发现了这样一张纸条，上面写着：“先生，我们欢迎您来到我们的城市。这里是禁止停车区。如果您注意我们的路牌，您会在这里过得很愉快。这张纸条只是一个提醒。”分析句子可知，空格处单词引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词this nte，指物，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作主语，应使用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。
【20题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：收到这样的要求，你不可能不服从! “(give) a request like this”作条件状语，give(给)是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语yu之间是被动关系，用过去分词表被动；句首单词首字母大写。故填Given。

I am ne f the many city peple wh are always saying that given the chice we wuld prefer t live in the cuntry away frm the dirt and nise f a large city. I have managed t cnvince myself that if it weren’t fr my jb I wuld immediately head ut fr the pen spaces and g back t nature in sme sleepy village buried in the cuntry. But hw realistic (现实的) is the dream?
Cities can be frightening places. The majrity f the ppulatin live in huge twer blcks, nisy, dirty and unfriendly. The sense f belnging t a grup tends t disappear when yu live fifteen flrs up. Strangely enugh, nwadays peple n the same flr dn’t even say hell t each ther.
Cuntry life n the ther hand, differs in that a sense f grup generally unites the peple f small villages tgether. Peple have the advantage f knwing that there is always smene t turn t when they need help. But it is als true that yu are cut ff frm the exciting and imprtant events that take place in cities. Shpping becmes a majr prblem, and fr anything slightly ut f the rdinary yu have t g n a trip t the nearest large twn. The city peple are ften wrried by a sense f unbearable stillness and quiet.
What, then, is the answer? The cuntry has the advantage f peace and quiet, but suffers frm the disadvantage f being cut ff. The city raises a feeling f lneliness, and cnstant nise beats the senses. But yu are at the centre f things, and that life desn’t cme t an end at half-past nine at night. Sme peple have fund r rather bught a slutin between the tw: they have expressed their preference fr the “quiet life” by leaving the cities and mving t villages within cmmuting (通勤) distance f large cities.
What then f my dream? I’m eager fr the idea, but yu see there’s my cat, Tby. I’m nt at all sure that he wuld take t all that fresh air and exercise in the lng grass. I mean, can yu see him mixing with all thse energetic males dwn the farm? N, he wuld rather have the electric fire any evening.
24. Which f the fllwing makes city peple unhappy?
A. Clrful life.B. A sense f grup.C. Clse neighbrhd.D. A feeling f lneliness.
25. What is difficult t buy in the cuntry?
A. Designer clthes.B. Farming tls.C. Daily supplies.D. Fresh vegetables.
26. We can infer frm the passage the authr ________.
A. enjys living in huge twer blcksB. is in tw minds
C. will cntinue his life in the cityD. will mve t the cuntry
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了城市生活和乡村生活的优缺点。作者对乡村生活抱有向往，但又担心离开城市会带来不便。作者最后提到一些人通过搬到靠近大城市的村庄来寻求城乡结合的平衡。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The sense f belnging t a grup tends t disappear when yu live fifteen flrs up. Strangely enugh, nwadays peple n the same flr dn’t even say hell t each ther.(当你住在15层楼上时，群体归属感往往会消失。奇怪的是，现在同一层楼的人甚至不互相打招呼)”、第三段中“The city peple are ften wrried by a sense f unbearable stillness and quiet.(城里人常常被一种难以忍受的寂静和宁静所困扰)”和第四段中“The city raises a feeling f lneliness(这座城市给人一种孤独的感觉)”可推知，城市生活的人没有群体归属感，被难以忍受的寂静和宁静所困扰，城市给人的孤独感使城市里的人不快乐。故选D项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“But it is als true that yu are cut ff frm the exciting and imprtant events that take place in cities. Shpping becmes a majr prblem, and fr anything slightly ut f the rdinary yu have t g n a trip t the nearest large twn.(但你与城市里发生的激动人心的重要事件隔绝也是事实。购物成了一个大问题，如果要买任何稍微不寻常的东西，你就得去最近的大城市)”可知，在乡村生活购物是一个大问题，名牌服装之类的特别商品很难买到。故选A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“What then f my dream? I’m eager fr the idea, but yu see there’s my cat, Tby. I’m nt at all sure that he wuld take t all that fresh air and exercise in the lng grass. I mean, can yu see him mixing with all thse energetic males dwn the farm? N, he wuld rather have the electric fire any evening.(那我的梦想呢?我渴望这个主意，但是，你看看我的猫，托比。我根本不敢确定它会喜欢在长长的草丛里呼吸新鲜空气和运动。你能想象它和农场里那些精力充沛的公猫混在一起吗?不，它宁愿每晚都呆在电暖炉旁)”可知，作者借自己的猫来表达自己的想法，比起回归自然，他更愿意生活在有电暖炉的城市，所以作者会继续在城里生活。故选C项。
C
It ften happens that a number f applicants (申请人) with almst the same qualificatins and experience all apply fr the same psitin. In their educatinal backgrund, special skills and wrk experience, there is little, if anything, t chse between half a dzen candidates. Hw then des the emplyer make a chice? Usually n the basis f an interview.
There are many arguments fr and against the interview as a way f selectin. The main argument against it is that it results in a whlly subjective decisin. As ften as nt, emplyers d nt chse the best candidate. They chse the candidate wh makes a gd first impressin n them. Sme emplyers, f curse, reply t this argument by saying that they have becme s experienced in interviewing staff that they are able t make a gd assessment f each candidate’s likely perfrmance. The main argument in favr f the interview is that an emplyer is cncerned nt nly with a candidate’s ability, but with his r her suitable persnality fr the particular wrk situatin. Many emplyers, fr example, will verlk ccasinal mistakes frm their secretary if she has a pleasant persnality.
It is perhaps true t say therefre, that the real purpse f an interview is nt t assess the assessable aspects f each candidate but t make a guess at the things that are hard t measure, such as persnality, character and scial ability. Unfrtunately, bth fr the emplyers and applicants fr jbs, there are many peple f great ability wh simply d nt interview well. There are als, f curse, peple wh interview extremely well, but are later fund t be very unsatisfactry emplyees. Candidates wh interview well tend t be quietly cnfident, but never bastful (自夸的) direct and straightfrward in their questins and answers; cheerful and friendly, but never ver-familiar; and sincerely enthusiastic and ptimistic. Candidates wh interview badly tend t be either very shy r ver-cnfident. They either talk t little r never stp talking. They are either ver-plite r a bit rude.
27. Peple argue ver the interview mainly because they have ________.
A. different purpses in the interviewB. different experiences in interviews
C. different standards f selectinD. different ways f selectin
28. The underlined wrd “subjective” means “based n ne’s ________ rather than facts”.
A. persnalityB. characterC. pininD. ability
29. The purpse f the last paragraph is t indicate ________.
A. a link between success in interview and persnality
B. cnnectins between wrk abilities and persnality
C. differences in interview experience
D. differences in persnal behavir
30. What is the authr’s attitude twards the interview?
A. He thinks it is a gd way f selectin.B. He desn’t quite agree with it.
C. He is neither fr nr against it.D. It is nt clear.
【答案】27 C 28. C 29. A 30. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章叙述了面试的争论，有些招聘者在面试时不挑选最好的应试者，而是挑选给他印象好的人；另一些招聘者认为无法衡量一个人的能力，而去招聘有个性的人。但是有许多面试不好的人却很有能力，而面试很好的人也有可能不是最好的员工。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“As ften as nt, emplyers d nt chse the best candidate. They chse the candidate wh makes a gd first impressin n them. Sme emplyers, f curse, reply t this argument by saying that they have becme s experienced in interviewing staff that they are able t make a gd assessment f each candidate’s likely perfrmance. The main argument in favr f the interview is that an emplyer is cncerned nt nly with a candidate’s ability, but with his r her suitable persnality fr the particular wrk situatin. Many emplyers, fr example, will verlk ccasinal mistakes frm their secretary if she has a pleasant persnality. (通常情况下，雇主不会选择最好的候选人。他们选择给他们留下良好第一印象的候选人。当然，一些雇主对这种说法的回答是，他们在面试员工方面经验丰富，因此能够很好地评估每个候选人的可能表现。支持面试的主要理由是，雇主关心的不仅是候选人的能力，而且是他或她适合特定工作环境的个性。例如，如果秘书性格开朗，许多雇主会忽略她偶尔犯的错误。)”可知，人们争论面试主要是因为他们有不同的选择标准。故选C。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“As ften as nt, emplyers d nt chse the best candidate. They chse the candidate wh makes a gd first impressin n them. (通常情况下，雇主不会选择最好的候选人。他们选择给他们留下良好第一印象的候选人。)”可知，雇主会选择给他们留下良好第一印象的候选人，也就是说，他们选人的标准是根据个人看法，而不是事实，故划线词意思是“基于个人观点而非事实”。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Candidates wh interview well tend t be quietly cnfident, but never bastful (自夸的) direct and straightfrward in their questins and answers; cheerful and friendly, but never ver-familiar; and sincerely enthusiastic and ptimistic. Candidates wh interview badly tend t be either very shy r ver-cnfident. They either talk t little r never stp talking. They are either ver-plite r a bit rude. (面试成功的候选人往往安静自信，但在提问和回答时从不自夸、直接和坦率；开朗友好，但从不过分亲昵；真诚热情乐观。面试表现不佳的应聘者要么非常害羞，要么过于自信。他们要么说得太少，要么说个不停。他们要么过于礼貌，要么有点粗鲁。)”可推知，最后一段的目的是指出面试成功和性格之间的联系。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is perhaps true t say therefre, that the real purpse f an interview is nt t assess the assessable aspects f each candidate but t make a guess at the things that are hard t measure, such as persnality, character and scial ability. Unfrtunately, bth fr the emplyers and applicants fr jbs, there are many peple f great ability wh simply d nt interview well. (因此，也许这样说是对的，面试的真正目的不是评估每个候选人可评估的方面，而是猜测那些难以衡量的方面，比如个性、性格和社交能力。不幸的是，对于雇主和求职者来说，有很多有能力的人只是没有很好地面试。)”可推知，作者不太认可面试这种做法，故选B。

【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“When I was in prgramming classes, I culd have studied nightly fr 5 hurs each night. It wuld have taken me years t learn the art f cmputer prgramming. Thugh I’m attracted by the systematic lgic f it, my talent is twards anther thing.

【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It’s been my experience that every persn has a certain level f musical talent. My enjyable challenge has been t assist them in this adventure and actually lcate their best abilities as quickly as pssible.(根据我的经验，每个人都有一定程度的音乐天赋。我喜欢的挑战是在这次冒险中帮助他们，并尽快找到他们的最佳能力。)”可知，作者是一个音乐教师。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，第二段中“S in rder t learn a musical instrument, hw much practice time is enugh and what kind f practice is right fr yu?(那么为了学习一种乐器，练习多少时间是足够的，什么样的练习适合你呢?)”提出问题：学习一种乐器该练习多久或者什么样的练习才适合，但结合第三段中“When I was in prgramming classes, I culd have studied nightly fr 5 hurs each night. It wuld have taken me years t learn the art f cmputer prgramming. Thugh I’m attracted by the systematic lgic f it, my talent is twards anther thing.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了“碳模仿”现象，是指一个人通过模仿另一个人的姿势和手势，来告诉另一个人自己赞同他的想法和态度。同时列举这种现象经常发生的场所，以及如何利用这些知识来让对方处于一种接受和放松的心态，“看到”你理解他的观点。
【35题详解】
由上文“The next time yu attend a scial functin r g t a place where peple meet and interact, take nte f the number f peple wh have adpted the same gestures and psture-the way yu sit r stand-f the persn with whm they are talking. (下次你参加社交活动或去一个人们见面和互动的地方时，注意一下有多少人采取了同样的手势和姿势——你坐着或站着的方式。)”可知，本空要对这种现象进行定义，由后文“By this methd, ne is nn-verbally saying t the ther, “As yu can see, I think the same as yu, s I will cpy yur psture and gesture.” (通过这种方法，一个人对另一个人说：“正如你所看到的，我和你的想法一样，所以我将模仿你的姿势和手势。”)”可知，本句要表达这种现象表示别人和你的想法一样，故B选项“This “carbn cpying” is a means by which ne persn tells the ther that he is in agreement with his ideas and attitudes. (这种“碳模仿”是一种手段，一个人告诉另一个人，他同意他的想法和态度。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选B。
【36题详解】
由下文“Take, fr example, the tw men standing at the htel bar. They have mirrred each ther’s gestures and it is reasnable t assume that they are discussing a tpic upn which they have the same thughts and feelings. If ne man uncrsses his arms and legs r stands n the ther ft, the ther will fllw. If ne puts his hand in his pcket, the ther will cpy and this mimicry will cntinue fr as lng as the tw men are in agreement. (以站在酒店酒吧的两个人为例。他们模仿了彼此的手势，我们有理由假设他们正在讨论一个话题，他们有相同的想法和感受。如果一个人不交叉双臂和双腿，或者用另一只脚站立，另一个人也会跟着。如果一个人把手放在口袋里，另一个人就会模仿，只要两个人意见一致，这种模仿就会一直持续下去。)”可知，本空要说对“这种模仿”的概括，故D选项“This uncnscius mimicry (无意识模仿) is quite interesting t bserve. (这种无意识的模仿非常有趣。)”能引起下文，符合题意。故选D。
【37题详解】
由上文“This cpying als ccurs amng gd friends r peple f the same scial psitin and it is cmmn t see married cuples walk, stand, sit and mve in very similar ways. (这种模仿也会发生在好朋友或社会地位相同的人之间，我们经常看到已婚夫妇走路、站立、坐着和移动的方式非常相似。)”可知，这种模仿发生在熟悉的人身上，故G选项“Peple wh are strangers, hwever, try hard t avid hlding mutual (相互的) psitins. (然而，陌生人会努力避免保持共同的姿势。)”与上文为转折关系，进一步解释这种模仿发生在熟悉的人身上，陌生人会努力避免这种模仿，符合题意。故选G。
【38题详解】
由上文“If an emplyer wishes t develp immediate friendliness and create d relaxing atmsphere with an emplyee, he needs t cpy the emplyee’s psture t achieve the end. (如果雇主希望与员工建立直接的友好关系，创造轻松的氛围，他需要模仿员工的姿势来达到目的。)”可知，本空要说跟“雇主与员工间的模仿”有关的话题，故C选项“Similarly, an up-and-cming emplyee may be seen cpying his bss’ gestures in an attempt t shw agreement. (同样，一个崭露头角的员工可能会模仿老板的手势，试图表示同意。)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选C。

(这会让对方处于一种接受和放松的心态中，他可以“看到”你理解他的观点。)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选E。

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。
Electric scter safety
If yu lk arund the streets f Lndn, yu’ll see the many methds peple use t mve arund. Whether it’s n a cmmute t wrk, a trip t the shps, r a sightseeing excursin, there are peple n buses, the Tube, cars, mtrbikes, bicycles and even rller skates. The rads are already cngested (jammed); and nw there’s a new additin: electric, r “e-scters”.
This traditinal children’s vehicle has becme mre sphisticated ver the years. And nw, with the additin f a small electric mtr, it’s becme a cheap and easy mde f transprt. Scting arund twn can be fun and desn’t invlve much effrt, s it’s n wnder they’re becming increasingly ppular in cities arund the wrld. But fllwing what’s believed t be the first fatal accident invlving an electric scter in the UK, questins are being asked abut their safety and whether traffic laws shuld be changed.
Sme scter riders have been seen n pavements; thers n the rad jumping red traffic lights, adding t the frustratin f mtrists stuck in jams. In the UK, the law states that riding ne n the public highway r pavement is frbidden. Riders currently face a £300 fixed-penalty ntice and six pints n their driving licence fr ding s. But, despite this, it seems the increasing ppularity f e-scters means they can be seen everywhere. And nw users are calling n regulatins t be changed.
The UK gvernment is lking at hw safely they can be used n the rad and is ‘reviewing’ the law. But its transprt minister, Michael Ellis, has tld the BBC that: “Micrmbility prducts are appearing in cuntries acrss the glbe and are an exciting innvatin fr which we knw there is demand. Hwever, safety must always be ur tp pririty when cnsidering their use n public highways in this cuntry.”
There’s n dubt there are dangers in riding a tw-wheeled scter. Despite the fact that sme f them can exceed 30mph, they smetimes nly have ne brake and n lights. They als becme unstable if the rider hits a pthle, and hwever cnfident the rider may be, larger vehicles n the rad make them vulnerable (easy t be hurt). S it seems mre wrk needs t be dne t give e-scters a safe and legal space t travel in.
40. What is it that makes an e-scter easy t ride?
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
41. Why are mtrists annyed by thse e-scter riders?
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement. Then underline it and explain why.
T answer the call f e-scter users, the UK gvernment is preparing t change the law abut where e-scters can be used.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
43. D yu think e-scters shuld be allwed n public rads? Why? (In abut 40 wrds)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】40. A cheap and easy mde f transprt as well as fun and invlving less effrt.
41. Because scter riders break the law.
42. T answer the call f e-scter users, the UK gvernment is preparing t change the law abut where e-scters can be used. Accrding t the passage, T answer the call f e-scter users, the UK gvernment is preparing t change the law abut safety.
43. Yes, I d. Because I think it is cnvenient, cheap, effrtless and time-saving. Hwever, scter riders shuld have the awareness f safety and the relative laws shuld be stricter.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了英国电动踏板车带来便利的同时，也引起了安全问题。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二三句“And nw, with the additin f a small electric mtr, it’s becme a cheap and easy mde f transprt. Scting arund twn can be fun and desn’t invlve much effrt, s it’s n wnder they’re becming increasingly ppular in cities arund the wrld. (现在，加上一个小型电动机，它就变成了一种便宜又方便的交通方式。在城市里骑电动踏板车既有趣又不费力，难怪它们在世界各地的城市越来越受欢迎。)”可知，电动踏板车骑起来容易广受欢迎是因为它便宜又方便，有趣又不费力。故答案为： A cheap and easy mde f transprt as well as fun and invlving less effrt.
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段前两句“Sme scter riders have been seen n pavements; thers n the rad jumping red traffic lights, adding t the frustratin f mtrists stuck in jams. In the UK, the law states that riding ne n the public highway r pavement is frbidden. (有人在人行道上看到骑电动踏板车的人；还有一些电动踏板车的人在路上闯红灯，这增加了被堵在路上的司机的挫败感。在英国，法律规定禁止在公共高速公路或人行道上骑车。)”可知，在英国，法律规定禁止在公共高速公路或人行道上骑车，所以，当司机看到他们在人行道上或者闯红灯时，司机们就会恼火。故答案为：Because scter riders break the law.
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段首句“The UK gvernment is lking at hw safely they can be used n the rad and is ‘reviewing’ the law. (英国政府正在研究电动踏板车在道路上的安全性，并正在“审查”相关法律。)”以及末句“Hwever, safety must always be ur tp pririty when cnsidering their use n public highways in this cuntry. (然而，当我们考虑在这个国家的公共公路上使用它们时，安全必须始终是我们的首要任务。)”可知，英国政府认为安全必须始终是首要任务。故答案为：T answer the call f e-scter users, the UK gvernment is preparing t change the law abut where e-scters can be used. Accrding t the passage, T answer the call f e-scter users, the UK gvernment is preparing t change the law abut safety.
【43题详解】
开放性试题。本题答案不唯一，结合实际情况言之有理即可。例如，可以认为电动踏板车应该被允许在路上。因为它方便便宜，而且能够节约时间，但是骑车人要有安全意识，而且相关法律也应更完善。Yes, I d. Because I think it is cnvenient, cheap, effrtless and time-saving. Hwever, scter riders shuld have the awareness f safety and the relative laws shuld be stricter.

【12题详解】

16. am advised
17. dn’t realize
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者喜欢钓鱼。虽然他总是钓不到鱼，但他更享受坐在船上无所事事的感觉。
【14题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：我就更不幸运了。提示词lucky是形容词，作表语，结合下文“I never catch anything”可知，作者比前面提到的钓者“更不幸”，用比较级less lucky。故填less lucky。
15题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在河上度过了整个上午后，我回家时总是空着袋子。“(spend) whle mrnings n the river”作时间状语，spend是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语I之间是主动关系，且“在河上度过了整个上午”发生在主句中“我回家”这一动作之前，应用现在分词的完成式，表示主动和动作已经发生；句首单词首字母大写。故填Having spent。
【16题详解】
考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意：我经常被建议放弃钓鱼，因为我的朋友认为这对我来说是浪费时间。提示词advice(建议)是名词，在主句中作谓语动词，应用动词advise(建议)，与主语I之间是被动关系，结合时间状语Very ften可知，描述经常发生的事情，应用一般现在时的被动语态，又因主语是I，助动词用am。故填am advised。
【17题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：但他们没有意识到一件重要的事情。realize是谓语动词，与主语they之间是主动关系，结合语境，描述当前的状态，用一般现在时态，主语是复数代词，谓语用复数形式；结合提示词nt可知，应用否定形式，借助助动词d构成一般现在时的否定形式dn’t realize。故填dn’t realize。
C

19. which 20. Given
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了自己遭遇的瑞典交通警察处理违规停车的情况，赞赏了瑞典交通警察的礼貌和尊重。
【18题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：如果你把车停错了地方，交通警察很快就会发现你在做什么。分析句子可知，“ yu d”是宾语从句，从句缺少宾语，结合句意，表示“(你在做)什么”，应用连接代词what引导该从句。故填what。
【19题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在瑞典度假时，我在车上发现了这样一张纸条，上面写着：“先生，我们欢迎您来到我们的城市。这里是禁止停车区。如果您注意我们的路牌，您会在这里过得很愉快。这张纸条只是一个提醒。”分析句子可知，空格处单词引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词this nte，指物，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作主语，应使用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。
【20题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：收到这样的要求，你不可能不服从! “(give) a request like this”作条件状语，give(给)是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语yu之间是被动关系，用过去分词表被动；句首单词首字母大写。故填Given。

I am ne f the many city peple wh are always saying that given the chice we wuld prefer t live in the cuntry away frm the dirt and nise f a large city. I have managed t cnvince myself that if it weren’t fr my jb I wuld immediately head ut fr the pen spaces and g back t nature in sme sleepy village buried in the cuntry. But hw realistic (现实的) is the dream?
Cities can be frightening places. The majrity f the ppulatin live in huge twer blcks, nisy, dirty and unfriendly. The sense f belnging t a grup tends t disappear when yu live fifteen flrs up. Strangely enugh, nwadays peple n the same flr dn’t even say hell t each ther.
Cuntry life n the ther hand, differs in that a sense f grup generally unites the peple f small villages tgether. Peple have the advantage f knwing that there is always smene t turn t when they need help. But it is als true that yu are cut ff frm the exciting and imprtant events that take place in cities. Shpping becmes a majr prblem, and fr anything slightly ut f the rdinary yu have t g n a trip t the nearest large twn. The city peple are ften wrried by a sense f unbearable stillness and quiet.
What, then, is the answer? The cuntry has the advantage f peace and quiet, but suffers frm the disadvantage f being cut ff. The city raises a feeling f lneliness, and cnstant nise beats the senses. But yu are at the centre f things, and that life desn’t cme t an end at half-past nine at night. Sme peple have fund r rather bught a slutin between the tw: they have expressed their preference fr the “quiet life” by leaving the cities and mving t villages within cmmuting (通勤) distance f large cities.
What then f my dream? I’m eager fr the idea, but yu see there’s my cat, Tby. I’m nt at all sure that he wuld take t all that fresh air and exercise in the lng grass. I mean, can yu see him mixing with all thse energetic males dwn the farm? N, he wuld rather have the electric fire any evening.
24. Which f the fllwing makes city peple unhappy?
A. Clrful life.B. A sense f grup.C. Clse neighbrhd.D. A feeling f lneliness.
25. What is difficult t buy in the cuntry?
A. Designer clthes.B. Farming tls.C. Daily supplies.D. Fresh vegetables.
26. We can infer frm the passage the authr ________.
A. enjys living in huge twer blcksB. is in tw minds
C. will cntinue his life in the cityD. will mve t the cuntry
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了城市生活和乡村生活的优缺点。作者对乡村生活抱有向往，但又担心离开城市会带来不便。作者最后提到一些人通过搬到靠近大城市的村庄来寻求城乡结合的平衡。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The sense f belnging t a grup tends t disappear when yu live fifteen flrs up. Strangely enugh, nwadays peple n the same flr dn’t even say hell t each ther.(当你住在15层楼上时，群体归属感往往会消失。奇怪的是，现在同一层楼的人甚至不互相打招呼)”、第三段中“The city peple are ften wrried by a sense f unbearable stillness and quiet.(城里人常常被一种难以忍受的寂静和宁静所困扰)”和第四段中“The city raises a feeling f lneliness(这座城市给人一种孤独的感觉)”可推知，城市生活的人没有群体归属感，被难以忍受的寂静和宁静所困扰，城市给人的孤独感使城市里的人不快乐。故选D项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“But it is als true that yu are cut ff frm the exciting and imprtant events that take place in cities. Shpping becmes a majr prblem, and fr anything slightly ut f the rdinary yu have t g n a trip t the nearest large twn.(但你与城市里发生的激动人心的重要事件隔绝也是事实。购物成了一个大问题，如果要买任何稍微不寻常的东西，你就得去最近的大城市)”可知，在乡村生活购物是一个大问题，名牌服装之类的特别商品很难买到。故选A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“What then f my dream? I’m eager fr the idea, but yu see there’s my cat, Tby. I’m nt at all sure that he wuld take t all that fresh air and exercise in the lng grass. I mean, can yu see him mixing with all thse energetic males dwn the farm? N, he wuld rather have the electric fire any evening.(那我的梦想呢?我渴望这个主意，但是，你看看我的猫，托比。我根本不敢确定它会喜欢在长长的草丛里呼吸新鲜空气和运动。你能想象它和农场里那些精力充沛的公猫混在一起吗?不，它宁愿每晚都呆在电暖炉旁)”可知，作者借自己的猫来表达自己的想法，比起回归自然，他更愿意生活在有电暖炉的城市，所以作者会继续在城里生活。故选C项。

It ften happens that a number f applicants (申请人) with almst the same qualificatins and experience all apply fr the same psitin. In their educatinal backgrund, special skills and wrk experience, there is little, if anything, t chse between half a dzen candidates. Hw then des the emplyer make a chice? Usually n the basis f an interview.
There are many arguments fr and against the interview as a way f selectin. The main argument against it is that it results in a whlly subjective decisin. As ften as nt, emplyers d nt chse the best candidate. They chse the candidate wh makes a gd first impressin n them. Sme emplyers, f curse, reply t this argument by saying that they have becme s experienced in interviewing staff that they are able t make a gd assessment f each candidate’s likely perfrmance. The main argument in favr f the interview is that an emplyer is cncerned nt nly with a candidate’s ability, but with his r her suitable persnality fr the particular wrk situatin. Many emplyers, fr example, will verlk ccasinal mistakes frm their secretary if she has a pleasant persnality.
It is perhaps true t say therefre, that the real purpse f an interview is nt t assess the assessable aspects f each candidate but t make a guess at the things that are hard t measure, such as persnality, character and scial ability. Unfrtunately, bth fr the emplyers and applicants fr jbs, there are many peple f great ability wh simply d nt interview well. There are als, f curse, peple wh interview extremely well, but are later fund t be very unsatisfactry emplyees. Candidates wh interview well tend t be quietly cnfident, but never bastful (自夸的) direct and straightfrward in their questins and answers; cheerful and friendly, but never ver-familiar; and sincerely enthusiastic and ptimistic. Candidates wh interview badly tend t be either very shy r ver-cnfident. They either talk t little r never stp talking. They are either ver-plite r a bit rude.
27. Peple argue ver the interview mainly because they have ________.

【答案】27 C 28. C 29. A 30. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章叙述了面试的争论，有些招聘者在面试时不挑选最好的应试者，而是挑选给他印象好的人；另一些招聘者认为无法衡量一个人的能力，而去招聘有个性的人。但是有许多面试不好的人却很有能力，而面试很好的人也有可能不是最好的员工。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“As ften as nt, emplyers d nt chse the best candidate. They chse the candidate wh makes a gd first impressin n them. Sme emplyers, f curse, reply t this argument by saying that they have becme s experienced in interviewing staff that they are able t make a gd assessment f each candidate’s likely perfrmance. The main argument in favr f the interview is that an emplyer is cncerned nt nly with a candidate’s ability, but with his r her suitable persnality fr the particular wrk situatin. Many emplyers, fr example, will verlk ccasinal mistakes frm their secretary if she has a pleasant persnality. (通常情况下，雇主不会选择最好的候选人。他们选择给他们留下良好第一印象的候选人。当然，一些雇主对这种说法的回答是，他们在面试员工方面经验丰富，因此能够很好地评估每个候选人的可能表现。支持面试的主要理由是，雇主关心的不仅是候选人的能力，而且是他或她适合特定工作环境的个性。例如，如果秘书性格开朗，许多雇主会忽略她偶尔犯的错误。)”可知，人们争论面试主要是因为他们有不同的选择标准。故选C。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“As ften as nt, emplyers d nt chse the best candidate. They chse the candidate wh makes a gd first impressin n them. (通常情况下，雇主不会选择最好的候选人。他们选择给他们留下良好第一印象的候选人。)”可知，雇主会选择给他们留下良好第一印象的候选人，也就是说，他们选人的标准是根据个人看法，而不是事实，故划线词意思是“基于个人观点而非事实”。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Candidates wh interview well tend t be quietly cnfident, but never bastful (自夸的) direct and straightfrward in their questins and answers; cheerful and friendly, but never ver-familiar; and sincerely enthusiastic and ptimistic. Candidates wh interview badly tend t be either very shy r ver-cnfident. They either talk t little r never stp talking. They are either ver-plite r a bit rude. (面试成功的候选人往往安静自信，但在提问和回答时从不自夸、直接和坦率；开朗友好，但从不过分亲昵；真诚热情乐观。面试表现不佳的应聘者要么非常害羞，要么过于自信。他们要么说得太少，要么说个不停。他们要么过于礼貌，要么有点粗鲁。)”可推知，最后一段的目的是指出面试成功和性格之间的联系。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is perhaps true t say therefre, that the real purpse f an interview is nt t assess the assessable aspects f each candidate but t make a guess at the things that are hard t measure, such as persnality, character and scial ability. Unfrtunately, bth fr the emplyers and applicants fr jbs, there are many peple f great ability wh simply d nt interview well. (因此，也许这样说是对的，面试的真正目的不是评估每个候选人可评估的方面，而是猜测那些难以衡量的方面，比如个性、性格和社交能力。不幸的是，对于雇主和求职者来说，有很多有能力的人只是没有很好地面试。)”可推知，作者不太认可面试这种做法，故选B。

Often peple receive a guitar, mandlin, r sme ther musical instrument as a birthday r Christmas gift. There’s jy everywhere. The giver f the gift knws hw much the receiver wants t learn this instrument and the receiver is actually hlding it in his hands instead f lnging fr it thrugh the shp windw.
Finding an instructr that fits int a busy wrk schedule is hard enugh, but nce yu decide n a lessn plan, then yu must cnsider the practice time, hw t practice, what t practice — and let’s face it — nt all peple learn smething the same way.

Hwever, n the ther hand, if I spent an hur every cuple days with a passinate (充满热情的) hbby like playing the vilin, nt nly wuld the time fly quickly, I’d als be learning at a much greater speed since the built-in passin is the mtivatin fr advancement.
S as much as it’s imprtant t practice, a step back is t first find the harmnius instrument that fits yu as a persn as develpment f yur persnality. If yu’re learning the guitar because it’s cl — bviusly that’s the mdern-day mindset, hwever, yu might nt be actually linking yur talent fr musical satisfactin with yur mst creative advantages yu have t ffer.
It’s been my experience that every persn has a certain level f musical talent. My enjyable challenge has been t assist them in this adventure and actually lcate their best abilities as quickly as pssible. Then and nly then can we match learners with instruments and truly begin a fun and exciting walk dwn the rad f happiness and cntentment, where music, ability, persnality and sul all meet. Once this piece f the mystery puzzle is in place, I’ve never had t wrk at mtivating a learner t practice.

【答案】31. D 32. D 33. B 34. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过亲身经历告诉我们，学好一种乐器，练习固然重要，但是对音乐的热爱才是最重要的。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“When I was in prgramming classes, I culd have studied nightly fr 5 hurs each night. It wuld have taken me years t learn the art f cmputer prgramming. Thugh I’m attracted by the systematic lgic f it, my talent is twards anther thing.

推理判断题。根据第三段中“If yu’re learning the guitar because it’s cl — bviusly that’s the mdern-day mindset, hwever, yu might nt be actually linking yur talent fr musical satisfactin with yur mst creative advantages yu have t ffer.(如果你学吉他是因为它很酷——显然这是现代人的心态，然而，你可能没有把你在音乐上的天赋和你所能提供的最具创造性的优势联系起来)”和最后一段中“My enjyable challenge has been t assist them in this adventure and actually lcate their best abilities as quickly as pssible. Then and nly then can we match learners with instruments and truly begin a fun and exciting walk dwn the rad f happiness and cntentment, where music, ability, persnality and sul all meet.(我喜欢的挑战是在这次冒险中帮助他们，并尽快找到他们的最佳能力。那时，也只有那时，我们才能为学习者配上乐器，真正开始一段充满乐趣和刺激的快乐和满足之路，在那里，音乐、能力、个性和灵魂都满足了)”可推知，作者认为选择乐器不能追逐现代潮流，要选择切合自己音乐天赋和创造力，能让自己能力、个性和灵魂都得益的乐器，即有助于培养学习者的品质的乐器。故选D项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It’s been my experience that every persn has a certain level f musical talent. My enjyable challenge has been t assist them in this adventure and actually lcate their best abilities as quickly as pssible.(根据我的经验，每个人都有一定程度的音乐天赋。我喜欢的挑战是在这次冒险中帮助他们，并尽快找到他们的最佳能力。)”可知，作者是一个音乐教师。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，第二段中“S in rder t learn a musical instrument, hw much practice time is enugh and what kind f practice is right fr yu?(那么为了学习一种乐器，练习多少时间是足够的，什么样的练习适合你呢?)”提出问题：学习一种乐器该练习多久或者什么样的练习才适合，但结合第三段中“When I was in prgramming classes, I culd have studied nightly fr 5 hurs each night. It wuld have taken me years t learn the art f cmputer prgramming. Thugh I’m attracted by the systematic lgic f it, my talent is twards anther thing.

【答案】35. B 36. D 37. G 38. C 39. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了“碳模仿”现象，是指一个人通过模仿另一个人的姿势和手势，来告诉另一个人自己赞同他的想法和态度。同时列举这种现象经常发生的场所，以及如何利用这些知识来让对方处于一种接受和放松的心态，“看到”你理解他的观点。
【35题详解】
由上文“The next time yu attend a scial functin r g t a place where peple meet and interact, take nte f the number f peple wh have adpted the same gestures and psture-the way yu sit r stand-f the persn with whm they are talking. (下次你参加社交活动或去一个人们见面和互动的地方时，注意一下有多少人采取了同样的手势和姿势——你坐着或站着的方式。)”可知，本空要对这种现象进行定义，由后文“By this methd, ne is nn-verbally saying t the ther, “As yu can see, I think the same as yu, s I will cpy yur psture and gesture.” (通过这种方法，一个人对另一个人说：“正如你所看到的，我和你的想法一样，所以我将模仿你的姿势和手势。”)”可知，本句要表达这种现象表示别人和你的想法一样，故B选项“This “carbn cpying” is a means by which ne persn tells the ther that he is in agreement with his ideas and attitudes. (这种“碳模仿”是一种手段，一个人告诉另一个人，他同意他的想法和态度。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选B。
【36题详解】
由下文“Take, fr example, the tw men standing at the htel bar. They have mirrred each ther’s gestures and it is reasnable t assume that they are discussing a tpic upn which they have the same thughts and feelings. If ne man uncrsses his arms and legs r stands n the ther ft, the ther will fllw. If ne puts his hand in his pcket, the ther will cpy and this mimicry will cntinue fr as lng as the tw men are in agreement. (以站在酒店酒吧的两个人为例。他们模仿了彼此的手势，我们有理由假设他们正在讨论一个话题，他们有相同的想法和感受。如果一个人不交叉双臂和双腿，或者用另一只脚站立，另一个人也会跟着。如果一个人把手放在口袋里，另一个人就会模仿，只要两个人意见一致，这种模仿就会一直持续下去。)”可知，本空要说对“这种模仿”的概括，故D选项“This uncnscius mimicry (无意识模仿) is quite interesting t bserve. (这种无意识的模仿非常有趣。)”能引起下文，符合题意。故选D。
【37题详解】
由上文“This cpying als ccurs amng gd friends r peple f the same scial psitin and it is cmmn t see married cuples walk, stand, sit and mve in very similar ways. (这种模仿也会发生在好朋友或社会地位相同的人之间，我们经常看到已婚夫妇走路、站立、坐着和移动的方式非常相似。)”可知，这种模仿发生在熟悉的人身上，故G选项“Peple wh are strangers, hwever, try hard t avid hlding mutual (相互的) psitins. (然而，陌生人会努力避免保持共同的姿势。)”与上文为转折关系，进一步解释这种模仿发生在熟悉的人身上，陌生人会努力避免这种模仿，符合题意。故选G。
【38题详解】
由上文“If an emplyer wishes t develp immediate friendliness and create d relaxing atmsphere with an emplyee, he needs t cpy the emplyee’s psture t achieve the end. (如果雇主希望与员工建立直接的友好关系，创造轻松的氛围，他需要模仿员工的姿势来达到目的。)”可知，本空要说跟“雇主与员工间的模仿”有关的话题，故C选项“Similarly, an up-and-cming emplyee may be seen cpying his bss’ gestures in an attempt t shw agreement. (同样，一个崭露头角的员工可能会模仿老板的手势，试图表示同意。)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选C。
【39题详解】
由上文“Using the knwledge, it is pssible t influence a face-t-face encunter (邂逅) by cpying the psitive gestures and pstures f the ther persn. (利用这些知识，可以通过模仿他人的积极手势和姿势来影响面对面的交流。)”可知，本空要说跟“模仿他人对面对面的交流的影响”有关的话题，故E选项“This has the effect f putting the ther persn in a receptive and relaxed frame f mind and he can “see” that yu understand his pint f view. (这会让对方处于一种接受和放松的心态中，他可以“看到”你理解他的观点。)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选E。

Electric scter safety
If yu lk arund the streets f Lndn, yu’ll see the many methds peple use t mve arund. Whether it’s n a cmmute t wrk, a trip t the shps, r a sightseeing excursin, there are peple n buses, the Tube, cars, mtrbikes, bicycles and even rller skates. The rads are already cngested (jammed); and nw there’s a new additin: electric, r “e-scters”.
This traditinal children’s vehicle has becme mre sphisticated ver the years. And nw, with the additin f a small electric mtr, it’s becme a cheap and easy mde f transprt. Scting arund twn can be fun and desn’t invlve much effrt, s it’s n wnder they’re becming increasingly ppular in cities arund the wrld. But fllwing what’s believed t be the first fatal accident invlving an electric scter in the UK, questins are being asked abut their safety and whether traffic laws shuld be changed.
Sme scter riders have been seen n pavements; thers n the rad jumping red traffic lights, adding t the frustratin f mtrists stuck in jams. In the UK, the law states that riding ne n the public highway r pavement is frbidden. Riders currently face a £300 fixed-penalty ntice and six pints n their driving licence fr ding s. But, despite this, it seems the increasing ppularity f e-scters means they can be seen everywhere. And nw users are calling n regulatins t be changed.
The UK gvernment is lking at hw safely they can be used n the rad and is ‘reviewing’ the law. But its transprt minister, Michael Ellis, has tld the BBC that: “Micrmbility prducts are appearing in cuntries acrss the glbe and are an exciting innvatin fr which we knw there is demand. Hwever, safety must always be ur tp pririty when cnsidering their use n public highways in this cuntry.”
There’s n dubt there are dangers in riding a tw-wheeled scter. Despite the fact that sme f them can exceed 30mph, they smetimes nly have ne brake and n lights. They als becme unstable if the rider hits a pthle, and hwever cnfident the rider may be, larger vehicles n the rad make them vulnerable (easy t be hurt). S it seems mre wrk needs t be dne t give e-scters a safe and legal space t travel in.
40. What is it that makes an e-scter easy t ride?
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
41. Why are mtrists annyed by thse e-scter riders?
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement. Then underline it and explain why.
T answer the call f e-scter users, the UK gvernment is preparing t change the law abut where e-scters can be used.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
43. D yu think e-scters shuld be allwed n public rads? Why? (In abut 40 wrds)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】40. A cheap and easy mde f transprt as well as fun and invlving less effrt.
41. Because scter riders break the law.
42. T answer the call f e-scter users, the UK gvernment is preparing t change the law abut where e-scters can be used. Accrding t the passage, T answer the call f e-scter users, the UK gvernment is preparing t change the law abut safety.
43. Yes, I d. Because I think it is cnvenient, cheap, effrtless and time-saving. Hwever, scter riders shuld have the awareness f safety and the relative laws shuld be stricter.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了英国电动踏板车带来便利的同时，也引起了安全问题。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二三句“And nw, with the additin f a small electric mtr, it’s becme a cheap and easy mde f transprt. Scting arund twn can be fun and desn’t invlve much effrt, s it’s n wnder they’re becming increasingly ppular in cities arund the wrld. (现在，加上一个小型电动机，它就变成了一种便宜又方便的交通方式。在城市里骑电动踏板车既有趣又不费力，难怪它们在世界各地的城市越来越受欢迎。)”可知，电动踏板车骑起来容易广受欢迎是因为它便宜又方便，有趣又不费力。故答案为： A cheap and easy mde f transprt as well as fun and invlving less effrt.
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段前两句“Sme scter riders have been seen n pavements; thers n the rad jumping red traffic lights, adding t the frustratin f mtrists stuck in jams. In the UK, the law states that riding ne n the public highway r pavement is frbidden. (有人在人行道上看到骑电动踏板车的人；还有一些电动踏板车的人在路上闯红灯，这增加了被堵在路上的司机的挫败感。在英国，法律规定禁止在公共高速公路或人行道上骑车。)”可知，在英国，法律规定禁止在公共高速公路或人行道上骑车，所以，当司机看到他们在人行道上或者闯红灯时，司机们就会恼火。故答案为：Because scter riders break the law.
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段首句“The UK gvernment is lking at hw safely they can be used n the rad and is ‘reviewing’ the law. (英国政府正在研究电动踏板车在道路上的安全性，并正在“审查”相关法律。)”以及末句“Hwever, safety must always be ur tp pririty when cnsidering their use n public highways in this cuntry. (然而，当我们考虑在这个国家的公共公路上使用它们时，安全必须始终是我们的首要任务。)”可知，英国政府认为安全必须始终是首要任务。故答案为：T answer the call f e-scter users, the UK gvernment is preparing t change the law abut where e-scters can be used. Accrding t the passage, T answer the call f e-scter users, the UK gvernment is preparing t change the law abut safety.
【43题详解】
开放性试题。本题答案不唯一，结合实际情况言之有理即可。例如，可以认为电动踏板车应该被允许在路上。因为它方便便宜，而且能够节约时间，但是骑车人要有安全意识，而且相关法律也应更完善。Yes, I d. Because I think it is cnvenient, cheap, effrtless and time-saving. Hwever, scter riders shuld have the awareness f safety and the relative laws shuld be stricter.
