When Kate’s paintings were n shw in Lndn, a pet described her paintings as “a ribbn (丝带) arund a bmb”. Such cmments seem t suggest Kate had a big influence n the art wrld f her time. Sadly, she is actually a much bigger name tday than she was during her time.

Hwever, the accident had an unexpected side effect. While lying in her bed recvering, Kate taught herself t paint.
In 1929, she gt married t Dieg Rivera, anther famus Mexican artist. Rivera’s strng influences n Kate’s style can be seen in her early wrks, but her later wrks frm the 1940s, knwn tday as her best wrks, shw less influence frm her husband.
Unfrtunately, her wrks did nt attract much attentin in the 1930s and1940s, even in her hme cuntry. Her first ne-wman shw in Mexic was nt held until 1953. Fr mre than a decade after her death in 1954.

“Yur mind is a garden; yur thughts are the seeds. The harvest can either be flwers r weeds,” William Wrdswrth wrte. In the abve qute, William suggests that the prcess f gardening mirrrs human life. Depending n what we “plant” in ur lives, we blm (生长茂盛) r dn’t. Befre yu start t wrk in yur garden, it’s necessary t have a visin fr it. Thinking f what yu want t grw in yur garden and hw t lay it ut is a gd first step in making yur visin a fruitful reality.

We’re lking at the benefits f systems which cntrl their speed as a way f preventing that.”

In life, yu shuld cnsider what yu want t create and what yu want t achieve (在你开始在你的花园工作之前，有必要对它有一个愿景。想想你想在你的花园里种什么，以及如何布置它是使你的愿景成为富有成效的现实的良好的第一步。在生活中，你应该考虑你想要创造什么，你想要实现什么)”可知，作者认为在翻地整理园子之前，有个好的规划很重要。故选B项。
9．推理判断题。根据第二段中“This is why gardeners take the time and energy t upgrade the sil befre planting. S, creating the right sil is imprtant t the realizatin f yur gals and dreams.

(这就是为什么园丁在种植前要花时间和精力来升级土壤。因此，创造合适的土壤对实现你的目标和梦想很重要。幸运的是，有无数的方法可以让你的个人基础变得更好。接受教育是最有效的方式之一，它可以帮助你丰富你的生活的土壤)”可知，作者把提高土壤条件比喻为接受教育。故选A项。
10．推理判断题。根据第三段中“It’s a very clear act that prduces an expected result. Each f us has the pwer t decide which “life seeds” t plant.

(这是一种非常明显的行为，能够产生预期的结果。我们每个人都有能力决定种下哪种“生命种子”。例如，如果你播下了不良的种子，你很可能会经历痛苦作为回报。相反，如果你播下善良和理解的种子，你的生活就会充满幸福和爱)”可知，作者在这一段告诉读者我们的生活质量取决于我们的积极付出。故选A项。
11．词义猜测题。根据第四段中“because a garden requires a lt f care and attentin. Regular watering and weeding are required fr a healthy garden. S, t ensure yur dreams take rt, yu shuld be devted, aware, and present. After cuntless hurs and energy spent, the crps have grwn well and are finally ready t be harvested. (因为花园需要很多的照顾和关注。一个健康的花园需要经常浇水和除草。所以，为了让你的梦想生根发芽，你应该全身心地投入、意识到并时刻关注。经过数不清的时间和精力，庄稼长得很好，终于可以收割了)”由讲述当把种子播种到土壤里，花园还需要很多的照顾和关注才能长得很好，最终收割，可知，种子播种到土壤里，真正“艰难的”工作才刚开始。因此猜测划线词arduus意为“艰难的”。故选D项。
12．C 13．A 14．B 15．D
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了老年司机在需要停止开车的年龄之前就不得不停止开车，所以一些研究人员就开始了解老年司机存在的问题，想要用技术去解决这些问题，比如开发了控制速度的系统、制定导航工具、夜视系统和智能速度适应。
12．细节理解题。根据第一段The Intelligent Transprt team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car int a mbile labratry named “DriveLAB” in rder t understand the challenges faced by lder drivers and t discver where the key stress pints are.可知，DriveLAB为了理解老年司机所面对的挑战，发现关键点在哪里。即发现老年司机的问题，故选C。

15．主旨大意题。本文主要讲述一些研究人员想要利用技术解决老年司机驾驶存在的问题，其目的是帮助老年司机能够一直开车直到应该停止的年龄，故以 Keeping Older Drivers n the Rad符合全文主旨，其他题目都太片面，不足以概括全文。故选D。
【点睛】主旨大意题解题技巧
Tpic/Title型-使用逆推法
（1）要在阅读原文基础上，仔细考虑选项是否与文章主题有密切联系
（2）再看选项对文章的概括性或覆盖面如何
（3）要注意题目是否过大或者过小
（4）要避免下列三种错误概括不够（多表现为部分代整体，导致范围过小）、过度概括（多表现为扩大范围）、以事实、细节代替抽象概括的大意。
比如第四题主要围绕老年司机为主，故排除了A和B，对象不正确。C. Driving Service fr elders. 为老人提供服务，本文也算服务的一种，但是犯了过度概括的错误，范围扩大了， D. Keeping Older Drivers n the Rad.这正是本文介绍的内容，研究人员目的也是延长老年司机的驾驶时间。故选D。
16．F 17．A 18．C 19．E 20．D

18．空处位于段末应承接上文。根据上文“Fr a full-service, sit-dwn meal, 15 t 20 percent f the pretax (税前的) bill is custmary. (对于提供全套服务的正式用餐，通常需要支付税前账单的15%到20%的小费)”可知，上文陈述了服务员给你提供服务你需支付的小费比率。由此推知，下文继续陈述该话题。C项“当然，如果服务员不提供服务，也就没有必要给小费。”符合题意。故选C。
19．根据上文“When yu reach the airprt, there are prters wh can help with the bags. (当你到达机场时，会有搬运工帮你搬行李)”推知，下文应陈述给搬运工的小费该怎么计算。E项“每个包你应该给他们1美元或2美元的小费。”符合题意。故选E。
20．根据上文“There is n tipping required at the gas statin. (在加油站不需要付小费)”可知，下文承接上文陈述加油站为什么不需要消费。D项“大多数加油站都是自助的。”符合题意。故选D。

At first, Asad wanted t keep it a secret and punished Fahad. But it was nt easy. He felt the heat in his bdy rising, and his cheeks blushing. Thrwing a glance at Fahad, wh was chatting happily, ccking his head high, Asad suddenly felt a bit srry fr the embarrassment he was ging t face. Just at the mment Fahad gasped and cried ut in alarm, “Oh hell, where is my wallet?” Sme gssips began. Asad heard wrds f glat. Overwhelmed by guilt, Asad quickly picked up the wallet and strde t Fahad, “I fund it ver there, and I think it is yurs. ”Seeing the dumb funded face f Fahad, he added, “I thught f sneaking it, f curse.” Recalling what he had dne t Asad, Fahad suddenly hesitated t take the wallet.
Para.2:
Then Fahad said, “Why are yu giving back?” Murmuring in a lw vice, he ddged Asad’s shining eyes, smehw even nt daring t lk int them. What replied him was a sigh, “Because it belngs t yu.” After cnfessin, the air seemed still and it became weird that n ne uttered a single wrd.

T his astnishment, the arrgant by, Fahad, reached ut his hand, stammering, “W…What abut having lunch tgether?” Befre Asad culd say anything, Fahad quickly added, “Of curse, my treat.” It was n that very day that Asad made his first friend in the new schl, and he truly reckned the value f sincerity and hnesty in a relatinship.

When Kate’s paintings were n shw in Lndn, a pet described her paintings as “a ribbn (丝带) arund a bmb”. Such cmments seem t suggest Kate had a big influence n the art wrld f her time. Sadly, she is actually a much bigger name tday than she was during her time.
Brn in 1907 in a village near Mexic City, Kate suffered frm pli (小儿麻痹症) at the age f seven. Her spine (脊柱) became bent as she grew lder. Then, in 1925, her back was brken in several places in a schl-bus accident. Thrughut the rest f her life, the artist had many peratins, but nthing was able t cure the terrible pain in her back. Hwever, the accident had an unexpected side effect. While lying in her bed recvering, Kate taught herself t paint.
In 1929, she gt married t Dieg Rivera, anther famus Mexican artist. Rivera’s strng influences n Kate’s style can be seen in her early wrks, but her later wrks frm the 1940s, knwn tday as her best wrks, shw less influence frm her husband.
Unfrtunately, her wrks did nt attract much attentin in the 1930s and1940s, even in her hme cuntry. Her first ne-wman shw in Mexic was nt held until 1953. Fr mre than a decade after her death in 1954. Kate’s wrks remained largely unnticed by the wrld, but in the 1970s her wrks began t gain internatinal fame at last.

The result is that peple stp driving befre they really need t.” Dr Amy Gu, the leading researcher n the lder driver study, explains, “The DriveLAB is helping us t understand what the key pints and difficulties are fr lder drivers and hw we might use technlgy t address these prblems.”
“Fr example, mst f us wuld expect lder drivers always g slwer than everyne else but surprisingly, we fund that in 30mph znes they struggled t keep at a cnstant speed and s were mre likely t break the speed limit and be at risk f getting fined. We’re lking at the benefits f systems which cntrl their speed as a way f preventing that.”
“We hpe that ur wrk will help with technlgical slutins(解决方案) t ensure that lder drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”

【导语】本文是记叙文。文章介绍了画家Frida Kahl，小时候的残疾加上后来的事故给她带来了伤痛，但是还是自学绘画，后来绘画风格受到丈夫的影响，但是没有失去自己的特点，虽然当时没有受到关注，但是现在她的艺术成就受到广泛的认可。
4．词句猜测题。根据第一段“Such cmments seem t suggest Kahl had a big influence n the art wrld f her time”（这样的评论似乎表明，卡罗对她那个时代的艺术世界产生了巨大的影响）及“Sadly, she is actually a much bigger name tday than she was during her time.”（可惜的是，相比于她所处的时代，在如今她有着a much bigger name）和最后一段“Unfrtunately, her wrks did nt attract much attentin in the 1930s and1940s, even in her hme cuntry.”（不幸的是，她的作品在20世纪三四十年代，甚至在她的祖国也没有引起太多关注）及“but in the 1970s her wrks began t gain internatinal fame at last”（但在20世纪70年代，她的作品终于开始赢得国际声誉）可知，她现在比以前更有名，a much bigger name 意思是：a much mre famus persn。故选D。
5．细节理解题。从第二段“Thrughut the rest f her life, the artist had many peratins, but nthing was able t cure the terrible pain in her back.”（在她的余生中，这位艺术家做了许多次手术，但没有任何手术能够治愈她可怕的背痛。）可知，她遭遇的巨大的疼痛都是由背部的疼痛造成的，故选C。
6．细节理解题。根据第三段“but her later wrks frm the 1940s, knwn tday as her best wrks, shw less influence frm her husband”（但她20世纪40年代后期的作品，也就是如今被称为她最好作品的作品，较少受到丈夫的影响）可知，在20世纪40年代，Kahl较少受到丈夫的影响，说明她的绘画风格更加独立了，故选B。
7．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Unfrtunately, her wrks did nt attract much attentin in the 1930s and 1940s, even in her hme cuntry.”（不幸的是，她的作品并没有收到太多的关注，即使是在自己的祖国。）可知，作者对她的态度是同情的，故选B。
8．B 9．A 10．A 11．D
【分析】这是一篇议论文。作者以种植为例，形象地讲出培养人的几个措施：做出好的规划，准备肥沃的土壤，选择正确的种子，精心培育，最后才有好收获。
8．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Befre yu start t wrk in yur garden, it’s necessary t have a visin fr it. Thinking f what yu want t grw in yur garden and hw t lay it ut is a gd first step in making yur visin a fruitful reality. In life, yu shuld cnsider what yu want t create and what yu want t achieve (在你开始在你的花园工作之前，有必要对它有一个愿景。想想你想在你的花园里种什么，以及如何布置它是使你的愿景成为富有成效的现实的良好的第一步。在生活中，你应该考虑你想要创造什么，你想要实现什么)”可知，作者认为在翻地整理园子之前，有个好的规划很重要。故选B项。
9．推理判断题。根据第二段中“This is why gardeners take the time and energy t upgrade the sil befre planting. S, creating the right sil is imprtant t the realizatin f yur gals and dreams. Frtunately, there are cuntless ways t make yur persnal bedrck better. Getting an educatin is ne f the mst effective ways, which can help yu enrich yur life’s sil. (这就是为什么园丁在种植前要花时间和精力来升级土壤。因此，创造合适的土壤对实现你的目标和梦想很重要。幸运的是，有无数的方法可以让你的个人基础变得更好。接受教育是最有效的方式之一，它可以帮助你丰富你的生活的土壤)”可知，作者把提高土壤条件比喻为接受教育。故选A项。
10．推理判断题。根据第三段中“It’s a very clear act that prduces an expected result. Each f us has the pwer t decide which “life seeds” t plant. Fr example, if yu plant ill seeds, it's likely that yu’ll experience pain in return. Cntrarily, if yu plant seeds f kindness and understanding, yur life will blm with happiness and lve. (这是一种非常明显的行为，能够产生预期的结果。我们每个人都有能力决定种下哪种“生命种子”。例如，如果你播下了不良的种子，你很可能会经历痛苦作为回报。相反，如果你播下善良和理解的种子，你的生活就会充满幸福和爱)”可知，作者在这一段告诉读者我们的生活质量取决于我们的积极付出。故选A项。
11．词义猜测题。根据第四段中“because a garden requires a lt f care and attentin. Regular watering and weeding are required fr a healthy garden. S, t ensure yur dreams take rt, yu shuld be devted, aware, and present. After cuntless hurs and energy spent, the crps have grwn well and are finally ready t be harvested. (因为花园需要很多的照顾和关注。一个健康的花园需要经常浇水和除草。所以，为了让你的梦想生根发芽，你应该全身心地投入、意识到并时刻关注。经过数不清的时间和精力，庄稼长得很好，终于可以收割了)”由讲述当把种子播种到土壤里，花园还需要很多的照顾和关注才能长得很好，最终收割，可知，种子播种到土壤里，真正“艰难的”工作才刚开始。因此猜测划线词arduus意为“艰难的”。故选D项。
12．C 13．A 14．B 15．D
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了老年司机在需要停止开车的年龄之前就不得不停止开车，所以一些研究人员就开始了解老年司机存在的问题，想要用技术去解决这些问题，比如开发了控制速度的系统、制定导航工具、夜视系统和智能速度适应。
12．细节理解题。根据第一段The Intelligent Transprt team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car int a mbile labratry named “DriveLAB” in rder t understand the challenges faced by lder drivers and t discver where the key stress pints are.可知，DriveLAB为了理解老年司机所面对的挑战，发现关键点在哪里。即发现老年司机的问题，故选C。
13．细节理解题。根据第四段中Phil Blythe explains: “Fr many lder peple, particularly thse living alne r in the cuntry, driving is imprtant fr preserving their independence, giving them the freedm t get ut and abut withut having t rely n thers.”可知，开车对于保持老年司机的独立性很重要，让他们可以自由地出去走动，而不必依赖别人。故选A。
14．推理判断题。根据第五段中The DriveLAB is helping us t understand what the key pints and difficulties are fr lder drivers and hw we might use technlgy t address these prblems.及最后一段We hpe that ur wrk will help with technlgical slutins(解决方案) t ensure that lder drivers stay safer behind the wheel.可知，研究人员想要用技术解决的老年司机的关键难题，而且正在研究一种控制速度的系统，即开发驾驶员辅助技术，故选B。
15．主旨大意题。本文主要讲述一些研究人员想要利用技术解决老年司机驾驶存在的问题，其目的是帮助老年司机能够一直开车直到应该停止的年龄，故以 Keeping Older Drivers n the Rad符合全文主旨，其他题目都太片面，不足以概括全文。故选D。
【点睛】主旨大意题解题技巧
Tpic/Title型-使用逆推法
（1）要在阅读原文基础上，仔细考虑选项是否与文章主题有密切联系
（2）再看选项对文章的概括性或覆盖面如何
（3）要注意题目是否过大或者过小
（4）要避免下列三种错误概括不够（多表现为部分代整体，导致范围过小）、过度概括（多表现为扩大范围）、以事实、细节代替抽象概括的大意。
比如第四题主要围绕老年司机为主，故排除了A和B，对象不正确。C. Driving Service fr elders. 为老人提供服务，本文也算服务的一种，但是犯了过度概括的错误，范围扩大了， D. Keeping Older Drivers n the Rad.这正是本文介绍的内容，研究人员目的也是延长老年司机的驾驶时间。故选D。
16．F 17．A 18．C 19．E 20．D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在不同的场合应该如何给小费。
16．根据下文“The general rule is t tip accrding t the service.(一般规则是根据服务情况给小费)”可知，给小费的标准各有不同，但一般规则是根据服务情况。F项“小费可能会根据情况而改变。”符合题意，与下文承接自然。故选F。
17．根据上文“Yu may be surprised t knw that waiters at the restaurants usually get lw pay.(你可能会惊讶地发现餐馆里的服务员通常工资很低)”推知，下文陈述服务员工资很低的原因。A项“这是因为他们需要从顾客那里得到小费。”符合题意，且与下文“Therefre, please make sure t tip prperly when yu visit a restaurant. (因此，当你去餐馆用餐时，请务必适当地给小费)”构成明显的因果关系。故选A。
18．空处位于段末应承接上文。根据上文“Fr a full-service, sit-dwn meal, 15 t 20 percent f the pretax (税前的) bill is custmary. (对于提供全套服务的正式用餐，通常需要支付税前账单的15%到20%的小费)”可知，上文陈述了服务员给你提供服务你需支付的小费比率。由此推知，下文继续陈述该话题。C项“当然，如果服务员不提供服务，也就没有必要给小费。”符合题意。故选C。
19．根据上文“When yu reach the airprt, there are prters wh can help with the bags. (当你到达机场时，会有搬运工帮你搬行李)”推知，下文应陈述给搬运工的小费该怎么计算。E项“每个包你应该给他们1美元或2美元的小费。”符合题意。故选E。
20．根据上文“There is n tipping required at the gas statin. (在加油站不需要付小费)”可知，下文承接上文陈述加油站为什么不需要消费。D项“大多数加油站都是自助的。”符合题意。故选D。
21．media
【详解】考查名词。句意：这个消息被大众媒体广泛报道。分析句子可知，空处前的mass是形容词，意为“大众的”，故空处应填名词作宾语，结合语意可知，此处意为“媒体”，且应用复数形式，应用复数名词media。故填media。
22．spilled
