54、moving their advertising from the platform.Can that boycott hurt Facebook? The short answer is yes the vast majority of Facebooks income comes from ads. David Cumming from Aviva Investors told the BBC that the loss of trust could “destroy the business.” On Friday, Facebooks share price dropped by 8
55、percent, making CEO Mark Zuckerberg, on paper, $6 billion poorer. But despite the huge share price reduction, some believe this boycott will only scratch the surface.

62、ful comments from its site.(Stop Hate for Profit组织声称，该平台在删除网站上的种族主义和仇恨言论方面做得不够)”可知，Facebook遭到抵制的原因对于种族歧视和仇恨言论平台监管不力。故选D。【29题详解】词句猜测题。根据划线部分所在句“But despite the huge share price reduction, some believe this boycott will only scratch the surface.(但尽管股价大幅下跌，一些人认为这种抵制只会触及表面)”可推知，划线部分意为“Facebook不会受到抵制活动的很
63、大影响”。故选C。【30题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Zuckerberg has shown sone signs of flexibility (灵活性) following an announcement that the site would begin to make hateful content. But this pales compared to measures form other sites.(扎克伯格在宣布该网站将开始制作仇恨内容后，表现出了一些灵活的迹象。但这与其他地区相比就相形见绌了) ”可知，扎克伯格的措施还是显得苍白，不够有效。故选A。【31题详解】.
64、推理判断题。根据最后一段“This year is going to be a rocky year for all social media companies. If the boycott goes on into the autumn and if more and more companies sigh up, this could be a defining year for the social network.(对于所有社交媒体公司来说，今年将是艰难的一年。如果抵制活动持续到秋季，如果越来越多的公司加入，今年可能是社交网络的决定性一年) ”可推知，作者对社交媒体的未来是不确定的
65、。故选D。DThe meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefor
66、e attempts may be made to fill every gap（间隙）with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a persons needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and
67、 Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied（暗示）is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other
68、ways, particularly when dealing with different conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence
69、 when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware

Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patients silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who un

What does the author say about silence in conversations?A. It is content-based.B. It develops friendship.C. It implies anger.D. It is culture-specific.33.
72、 Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?A. The French.B. The Mexicans.C. The Russians.D. The Chinese.34. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?A. Make use of its healing effects.B. Let it continue as the patient pleases.C. Break it while tre
73、ating patients.D. Evaluate（评估）its harm to patients.35. What may be the best title for the text?A. Sound and Silence.B. What It Means to Be Silent.C. Silence to Native Americans.D. Speech Is Silver, Silence Is Gold.【答案】32. D 33. D 34. A 35. B【解析】【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章论述了不同文化中沉默的不同含义，同时表明，可以在医疗中充分利用沉默的治愈价值。【3
74、2题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups.”可知，沉默的含义因文化群体而异。也就是说，不同的文化中，沉默的含义是不一样的。由此可知，沉默因文化的不同而不同。故选D。【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do.
75、Therefore, when a person one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied（暗示）is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.”可知，许多美国土著珍视沉默，认为它是人与人之间交流的一个基本部分，就像一些传统的中国人和泰国人所做的一样。因此，当
76、这些文化背景中的某一种人说话时突然停住，这可能暗示着这个人想让听者在继续之前考虑一下他说了什么。在这些文化中，沉默是一种思考。该部分中，these cultures应该指的是中国和泰国文化。故选D。【34题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recog
77、nize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patients silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing（治愈）value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other c
78、ultures.”可知，当护士和其他护理人员遇到病人可能正在经历的个人焦虑时，他们需要意识到沉默的可能含义。护士应该认识到自己对沉默的个人和文化建构，这样病人的沉默才不会被过早打断或被允许不必要地继续下去。懂得沉默的治愈价值的护士可以利用这种理解来帮助自己和其他文化中的病人。由此可知，作者建议护士们要充分利用沉默的治愈价值来帮助病人。故选A。【35题详解】主旨大意题。第一段提出：沉默的含义因文化群体而异。第二和第三段作者介绍了不同文化群体中沉默的含义和作用。最后一段介绍了沉默在医疗方面的作用。总而言之，文章在介绍沉默的含义。B选项“沉默意味着什么?”最适合作文章标题。故选B。第二节 （共 5

113、”可推知，此处表示“高品质的鞋子”可能是橱柜里“最好的”部分，所以形容词应用最高级形式best，形容词最高级前需要用定冠词the修饰，故填the best。【58题详解】考查谓语动词。句意：但是同时，如果选择不当，它们可能会带来不适和痛苦。分析句子可知，空处为句子的谓语，由句意可知they指代鞋子，与choose之间为被动关系，应用被动语态结构be done，if引导的条件状语从句遵循“主情从现”原则且句意描述客观事实，时态应用一般现在时，故填are chosen。【59题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：考虑到你的情况和你的外表，你可以忽略一双错误选择的鞋子所带来的疼痛，但这肯定会给你的脚带来水泡

115、系代词that或 which代替先行词，引导从句，作从句的主语，故填that/which。【62题详解】考查形容词。句意：穿不舒服的鞋子会导致行走障碍，所以你应该为此负责。修饰名词shoes应用形容词形式，结合句意“导致行走障碍”可知是穿着“不舒服的”鞋子，所以应用形容词的否定形式uncomfortable，故填uncomfortable。【63题详解】考查介词。句意：穿不舒服的鞋子会导致行走障碍，所以你应该为此负责。根据句意和blame可知，此处为固定搭配“sb. be to blame for(某人对负责)”，故填for。【64题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：他们不断地需要身体，尤其是脚来适
116、应疼痛。分析句子可知，已有谓语动词require，所以adjust应用非谓语动词形式，结合句意可知，此处做目的状语，应用动词不定式作目的状语，故填to adjust。【65题详解】考查代词。句意：所以，下次你买鞋的时候，你必须提醒自己买一双适合你的脚的鞋子。分析句子可知，此处宾语与主语人称一致，所以应用反身代词作宾语，短语“remind oneself to do sth.”表示“提醒自己做某事”，故填yourself。第四部分 写作（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节（满分 15 分）66. 假定你是李华，最近你校英文报招募校园兼职记者，你对此很感兴趣，请给英文报编辑写一封申请信，应聘兼职记者
