31、an e-mail from Linkedln: “These companies are looking for candidates like you!” You arent necessarily searching for a job, but youre always open to opportunities, so out of curiosity, you click on the link. A few minutes later your boss appears at your desk. “Weve noticed that youre spending more ti
32、me on Linkedln lately, so I wanted to talk with you about your career and whether youre happy here,” she says. Uh-oh.Its an awkward scene.

33、nies are intensifying(增强）their efforts to predict which workers are at high risk of leaving so that managers can try to stop them. Tactics (策略）range from electronic monitor to sophisticated(复杂的）analyses of employees social media lives.Some of this work may be a reason to let employees to quit. In ge
34、neral, people leave their jobs because they dont like their boss, dont see opportunities for promotion or growth, or are offered a higher pay; these reasons have held steady for years.New research conducted by CEB, a Washington-based technology company, looks not just at why workers quit but also at
35、 when. “Weve learned that what really affects people is their sense of how theyre doing compared with other people in their peer group, or with where they thought they would be at a certain point in life, says Brian Kropp, who heads CEBs HR practice. “Weve learned to focus on moments that allow peop
36、le to make these comparisons.”Technology also provides clues about which star employees might be eyeing the exit. Companies can tell whether employees using work computers or phones are spending time on (or even just opening e-mails from) career websites, and research shows that more firms are payin
37、g attention to these things. Large companies have also begun tracking badge swipes(浏览痕迹)- employees use of an ID to enter and exit the building or the parking garage-to identify patterns that suggest a worker may be interviewing for a job.8.

41、。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“and you notice an e-mail from Linkedln: “These companies are looking for candidates like you!”（原来是领英网的邮件：“这些公司正在招募着你这样的员工！”），可以推断出Linkedln是职业社交网络。故选C。【9题详解】主旨大意题。根据第二段内容，尤其是“Thus companies are intensifying(增强）their efforts to predict which workers are at high risk of leaving so th
42、at managers can try to stop them.”（因此公司增强努力预测哪些员工最有离开公司的危险,经理可以试着阻止他们。）可知，本段主要告诉我们公司采取了措施找到潜在的可能离职的员工。故选C。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段“Weve learned that what really affects people is their sense of how theyre doing compared with other people in their peer group, or with where they thought they would be at a c

44、this situation: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child-a bit of nostalgia(怀旧)or blast from the past, as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago. Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studie
45、d the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages. Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave
46、the groups three different types of listen-and-repeat learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words. All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language fo
47、r 15minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered. Why Hungarian, you ask ? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the
48、tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.Dr.Kat
49、ie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3 or memorable 4, tune 5.Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburghs website Dr.
50、Ludke writes, This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area. 12. Thesongmentioned in the first paragraph is intended to_.A. recall the pastB. attract the readersC.
51、 introduce the topicD. compare the childhood with the present13. According to the passage which language doesnt share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages?A. HungarianB. SpanishC.

52、rn a language. B. the brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the words.C. a listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learner. D. Dr. Katie Overy and Dr.Ludke disagree with each other. 15. In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?A. A mot
53、her is going to teach her baby how to speak. B. A child is going to have his first music lesson. C. A student is going to learn a new English song. D. An American is going to learn some Chinese. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D【解析】【分析】本文是说明文。介绍了一项关于唱歌和外语习得之间关系的研究，研究表明：唱歌可能带来学习外语的新方法，“听-重复”唱歌方法可以支持外语学习。【1
54、2题详解】推理判断题。第一段“You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.”(你听到了一首你小时候唱过的歌.歌词就像你多年前唱的那样清晰。)通过举例导入话题，人们都清楚地记得儿时唱歌的歌词是因为唱歌有助于记忆单词。故选C。13题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many p
55、eople know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish.”(研究人员表示，他们选择匈牙利语是因为懂这种语言的人并不多。它与日耳曼语或罗曼语(如意大利语或西班牙语)没有任何共同点)可知匈牙利语和日耳曼语或罗曼语没有任何共同点。故选A。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据最后两段中“singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes
56、 to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5.”(唱歌可能带来学习外语的新方法。大脑喜欢记住琅琅上口或令人难忘的旋律。)和“This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this a
57、rea.”( 本研究提供了第一个实验证据，证明了“听-重复”唱歌方法可以支持外语学习，并为该领域的进一步研究打开了大门。)可知当外语学习者唱单词时，大脑可能工作得最好，故选B。【15题详解】推理判断题。从最后一段“This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”( 本研究提供了第
58、一个实验证据，证明了“听-重复”唱歌方法可以支持外语学习，并为该领域的进一步研究打开了大门。)可知，此项研究对于外语学习者非常有用，一个美国人要学汉语可以采用此方法。故选D。【点睛】科普类的阅读理解一般为介绍科学知识、社会知识的文章。阅读这类短文时，要以文章事实为中心进行思考。答题技巧：1. 加强整体意识，把握文章的主要内容。给重要的句子和关键词做上记号，特别是各段中心句，可以更快捷的答题。2. 审清题干，弄清楚问题的要点，从文章对应处寻找答案。比如第2题：细节理解题。根据文章第五段“It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance la
59、nguages, such as Italian or Spanish.”可知A项正确。要熟悉科普类文章的结构特点。科普类文章一般由标题(Head line)，导语(Introduction)，背景(Back ground)，主体(Main body)和结尾(End)五部分构成。标题是文章中心思想高度而又精辟的概括，但根据历年的高考情况来看，这类阅读理解材料一般不给标题，而要同学们选择标题。导语一般位于整篇文章的首段。背景交待一个事实的起因。主体则对导语概括的事实进行详细叙述，这一部分命题往往最多，因此，阅读时，同学们要把这部分作为重点。结尾往往也是中心思想的概括，并与导语相呼应，命题者常在此
60、要设计一道推理判断题。比如第4题：推理判断题。从最后一段可知，此项研究对于外语学习者非常有用，A项的描述是指学母语的情况，不适合。故选D。第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白出的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Master Your DeadlinesThe struggle begins in high school, sometimes earlier. Deadlines, and lots of them, start to pile up. At college, the pressure sometimes leads to l
61、ast-minute rush and unsatisfactory work. At work, failing to meet deadlines can easily get you fired. _16_ Here are a few best practices.Assign deadlines to what matters.If the task isnt of high importance, dont set a specific deadline. In this way, you are able to keep it on your radar for a while
62、without feeling pressured. _17_ This will provide just enough pressure to ensure you get it done. _18_Set a personal deadline for yourself a day or two before the actual deadline. _19_ If youre working with a group of people, add in even more time to account for potential follow-ups and the need for
63、 approvals. Keep communicating._20_ This means letting others know when something is taking longer than expected, when a delivery didnt come in, when a client is not providing the necessary information, etc. Although it may feel embarrassing to admit that something is not on schedule, being honest i
64、s much better for relieving your stress. A. Plan for flexible hours.B. Finish your project as early as possible.C. But if an activity is urgent, set a deadline immediately.D. In this way, youll never have to stay up late and feel stressed.E. But handled properly, deadlines can actually improve produ
65、ctivity.F. Whenever you feel challenged to finish work on time, communicate.G. So if anything takes longer than expected, you can still wrap it up and submit it on time.【答案】16. E 17. C 18. A 19. G 20. F【解析】【分析】人的一生充满着奋斗、挣扎与各种压力。比如工作之后的各项工作都要按时完成。否则你会失去工作。文章给出了一些好的实践方法解决这些问题和压力。【16题详解】E考查对上下文顺承关系的理解能
66、力。句意：奋斗始于中学，有时更早。随之各种期限接踵而来。在大学里，压力有时会导致考试临时抱佛脚和不满意的作业。在工作中，不能按时完成工作，可以使你很容易被解雇。_1_。以下是一些最佳实践。从设空的前后语境可看出是转折的，故选E项。【17题详解】C考查对上下文顺承关系的理解能力。句意：如果任务不是很重要的话，不要设定一个特定的截止日期，这样你就可以有一段时间没有压力，_2_，这将提供足够的压力来确保你完成它。故设空前后是一种转折关系，即如果任务“很重要，很紧急（urgent ）”，故C项符合语境。【18题详解】A考查考生对上下文顺承关系的理解能力。根据本段的内容“给自己制定一个比实际截止日期提前
67、一到两天的限制。如果你和一群人一起工作，就要花更多的时间来考虑潜在的后续行动和批准的必要性。”可推断出，本段是讲要留出一些弹性时间，故A项适合作本段小标题。【19题详解】G考查对上下文顺承关系的理解能力。此空前句意：为自己制定一个比最后期限提前12天的期限。所以（这样的话）即使有事要花更多时间的话，也可圆满完成任务了。wrap up圆满完成；故选G项。【20题详解】F考查对上下文顺承关系的理解能力。本段中心句“Keep communicating”（要保持交流）。空后句意：就是让别人知道所做之事所需要时间比预期的长。推知所做的事是不能按期完成才要交流。故选F。【名师点睛】七选五题型解题时，可看
68、选项，找出与空前空后句中心词同义，近义或相关性的词语。或是上下句意的意义相反。实现关键词的对接，先易后难，各个突破。 比如第小题。本空的上文“If the task isnt of high importance, dont set a specific deadline. In this way, you are able to keep it on your radar for a while without feeling pressured.” 如果任务不是很重要的话，不要设定一个特定的截止日期，这样你就可以有一段时间没有压力。而此空的下句“_2_This will provide j
69、ust enough pressure to ensure you get it done. ，_2_，这将提供足够的压力来确保你完成它。有压力的自然就是重要的，故此句对应着urgent（紧急）。故可推断出C符合。如第小题，在本段中出现了与challenging相关的词语。如“This means letting others know when something is taking longer than expected” 可知，花的时间比预期的长，有挑战性。再下一句提到“admit that something is not on schedule”不能按期交。从这几点可推测也感觉完成
70、工作有困难，这些提示正符合F中的内容。故第5小题选F。第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节。满分45分）第一节 （20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A, B, C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Our familys first hosting experience began in January of 2015 with our Italian daughter Victoria.
