29、直对它感兴趣。)可知,欣赏学校地图上的长城激发了威廉林赛探索长城的梦想。故选D项。【5题详解】词义猜测题。根据文章第二段中句子“Running the length of the wall was a brave expedition”(穿越长城是一次勇敢的探险)和“where there was little chance of help if the runner had an accident”(如果赛跑者出了事故,得到帮助的机会是微乎其微的)可知,穿越长城这件事情是一件很危险的事情,途中也鲜有得到帮助的机会,可推知“venturing(敢于去) into sparsely”意为“冒险进
30、入人烟稀少的地区”,所以sparsely意为“很少”。故选B项。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段第三句“Modernization and development were making the situation even worse.”(现代化和发展使情况更加恶化。)可知,现代化发展恶化了长城的情况。故选D项。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段第二句“Running the length of the wall was a brave expedition(探险), venturing(敢于去) into sparsely populated regions where ther

32、verb “no pain, no gain”? It gives the impression that we ought to be suffering while we study. It seems that the only way to know if we re putting in enough work is how much hardship we bear. We are totally taken up with study, shutting ourselves away for a big exam. Is that necessarily true?When we
33、 havent taken the time to come up with another idea, we just shut ourselves in a room with a book. Its no surprise that we find revision boring and difficult. Just as children learn from playing, we can learn from doing, or at least from study techniques that interest us, rather than make us switch
34、off. Shutting ourselves away can make us learn to hate studying, leading to a situation where, instead of being able to concentrate on our work, we are troubled by how unfair it is that we must study. This can be part of a vicious cycle (恶性循环) that traps us into ineffective revision, or poor progres
35、s fueling further annoyance.Thankfully, working in the company of other people really helps fight against that. We just need to learn how to deal with distractions(使人分心的事). Its not necessary to avoid all company, just lazy company. They constantly try to keep others in conversation, while studying i
36、n the same room with someone who is ironing or working out is perfectly possible.

39、ourage us to work as hard as possible.C. To remind us to balance activities and study.D. To discuss the importance of family company.9. What can we learn from the second paragraph?A. Good ideas are needed in terms of progress.B. Ways that interest us can lead to effective revision.C. Shutting oursel
40、ves away can help concentrate on work.D. With study techniques, revision is interesting and easy for certain.10. What does the last sentence in Paragraph 3 imply?A.

41、with the company of a video game player.D. The more time one spends in playing games, the higher test scores one will get.11. What should you do if you are studying in a noisy environment?A.

42、e interrupted.D. Force yourself to be accustomed to the environment.【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. C【解析】【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章对谚语“no pain, no gain(一分耕耘,一分收获)”提出质疑,并认为积极的话语和积极的行为会给人们带来积极的影响,从而产生良好的学习效果。【8题详解】推理判断题。通读全文,根据第一段中“Do you know the proverb no pain, no gain?(你知道一分耕耘,一分收获这句谚语吗?)”和“Is that necessarily true?(
43、这是真的吗?)”以及第二段中“Just as children learn from playing, we can learn from doing, or at least from study techniques that interest us, rather than make us switch off.(就像孩子从玩耍中学习一样,我们可以从实践中学习,或至少从学习我们感兴趣的技术,而不是让我们放弃。)”可知,作者对谚语“no pain, no gain”进行了质疑,并认为积极的话语和积极的行为会给人们带来积极的影响,从而产生良好的学习效果。所以本文作者写作目的是要介绍有效的学习
44、方法。故选A项。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中“Just as children learn from playing, we can learn from doing, or at least from study techniques that interest us, rather than make us switch off.(就像孩子从玩耍中学习一样,我们可以从实践中学习,或至少从学习我们感兴趣的技术,而不是让我们放弃。)”可以推知,让我们感兴趣的方法可以导致有效的复习。故选B项。【10题详解】词句猜测题。根据第三段最后一句的上句“Of course, its also a
45、good idea to avoid the company of people involved in activities where you would rather be playing than studying.(当然,避免和你喜欢玩而不是学习的人在一起也是一个好主意。)”说明学习的时候,不应该和喜欢一起玩儿而不喜欢一起学习的人在一起学习,从而推断出本段最后一句“Working while sitting next to someone playing video games is most likely to end with a new high score of games
46、rather than productive revision.(坐在玩电子游戏的人旁边工作很可能会让你获得更高的游戏分数,而不是进行有效的复习。)”承接上文,意为“一个人不应该在电子游戏玩家的陪伴下学习。”故选C项。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第一段中“If being around others means working in a noisy environment, a pair of headphones and some background music can block out noises. They also act as a psychological barrie
47、r, so that people think twice before interrupting you.( 如果和其他人在一起意味着在嘈杂的环境中工作,那么一副耳机和一些背景音乐可以屏蔽噪音。它们也是一种心理障碍,让(别的)人们在打断你之前三思而后行。)”可以推知,在嘈杂的环境中,我们应该给出不希望被打断的暗示。故选C项。DMost dog owners are convinced that their four-legged friends know exactly what they mean when they use certain words like sit,stay or t
48、reat.However,researchers have always wondered whether dogs really understand human speech or if they rely on other information to get the meaning.For example,does the word“fetch”form a picture of a stick or ball in the dogs mind,or does the dog bring back the object based on the owners voice or gest

51、 objects the dogs hadnt seen before.The scans suggested that the parts of the dogs brains responsible for processing of sounds showed different brain patterns when they heard words they were familiar with,compared with the ones they had never heard before.While that was not enough to prove that the
52、dogs were picturing their toys when they heard the word,it did indicate some sort of recognition.The researchers believe this is an important step forward in understanding how dogs process language.Even more interesting was that the dogs brains showed a higher level of neural(神经)activity at the soun
53、d of unknown words.This is the exact opposite of what happens in human brains,which get more active at the sound of familiar words.The researchers say the dogs may become cheerful at the sound of new words to try to understand them in the hope of delighting their masters.“Dogs want to please their o
54、wners,and perhaps also receive praise or food,”says Empty neuroscientist Gregory Burns,senior author of the study.However,though your pet may understand human speech,the scientists recommend using visual signals and smell for training.“When people want to teach their dog a trick,they often use spoke
55、n command because thats what humans prefer,”Prichard says.“From the dogs view,however,a visual command might be more effective,helping the dog learn the trick faster.”12. Whats the purpose of the new study?A. To convince dog owners to understand their dogs.B. To advise dog owners to treat their dogs

70、ne of your friends or colleagues”提到了你闻到朋友或者同事身上的香味,下文的However提示,空格处与下文是转折关系,下文“However, upon applying said fragrance to your own skin, you are disappointed to find its scent is suddenly not so fabulous”说明当你把这些香味涂到你自己的皮肤上时,你会失望地发现它的气味突然就不那么美妙了”与上文是转折关系,可推断,空格处讲述朋友身上的香味是美妙的,故选F。【17题详解】上文“Although the
71、concept of a fragrance smelling different on the skin of two different people may seem strange to some, it is actually something well known in the perfume industry”说明香水在两个不同的人的皮肤上闻起来香味不同,是香水行业众所周知的事情,下一段的“first,also,lastly”解释了这一现象的原因,因此空格处承上启下,E项中的“As detailed below,multiple reasons”引出下文的原因的解释,因此推断E
72、项“如下,不同的人使用香水时呈现不同的气味有多种原因。”符合语境。故选E。【18题详解】上文“however, it can also refer to other fragrant substances”说明香味也可以指其它芳香物质,下文“Eating herbs and spices affects your natural smell, which in turn influences any additional scents you apply to your body.”提到了吃草药或者香料也影响自然的味道,影响你身体的味道,可知,下文是对上文的举例,A项中的“A great ex

74、ample is estrogen(雌激素)话题相符。C项“雌激素就是一个例子:当一个人的雌激素水平很低时,他们往往会经常出汗。”与下文的this一致,符合语境。故选C。【20题详解】上文“some people have a neutral skin type meaning their skin is neither very oily nor very dry. For such people, the scent of an applied perfume may seem largely unchanged.”讲到不干不油的皮肤,呈现的香水的味道没有变化,D项中的“ very oil
75、y or very dry skin”与之形成对比,“By contrast”表示上下文是对比关系,因此D项“相比之下,非常油性或非常干燥的皮肤可以增强或掩盖香水中的某些成分”符合语境,引出下文“很自然地,这就改变了香水的气味。”。故选D。第二部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Its a memorable period when I lost a long time job.
