19、The Washington Post but during his long career he has published two best-selling sports books(约翰范斯坦本来是华盛顿邮报的专栏作家,但在他漫长的职业生涯中,他出版了两本最畅销的体育书籍)”和最后一段中“Apart from being a columnist with The New York Times since the 80s, William Rhoden is a respected sports journalist known for his two books(威廉罗登不仅是80年代以
20、来纽约时报的专栏作家,而且是一位以两本书而闻名的受人尊敬的体育记者)”可知,John Feinstein和William Rhoden都既是作家又出版了自己的书。故选B项。【3题详解】主旨大意题。A项意为: 对体育记者有用的提示;B项意为:如何成为一名报纸专栏作家;C项意为: 对我们影响很大的报纸;D项意为: 著名且受欢迎的体育记者;根据文章第一段最后一句话,“Here are five of the most well-known sports writers.” 可知这篇文章主要就是要向我们介绍武威最有名的运动专栏作者。故选D项。【点睛】为文章选标题的方法:第一步:仔细理解每个选项的含义;
21、第二步:找出全文的主旨句,一般在文章的开头或结尾。第三步,将主旨句与选项内容进行对比,能与主旨句匹配在一起的就是正确选项。B54-year-old Abdul has a special job. He has been working as a living statue for over three decades, standing perfectly still for six hours a day and resisting peoples attempts to make him move or smile, anything that proves he is a living
22、 person.Abdul, known as “Indias Statue Man,” has been performing his daily routine ever since 1985, soon after getting a job as a security guard. His boss had recently traveled to the UK, where he was so impressed by the statue-like members of the Royal Guard outside Buckingham Palace that he wanted
23、 to do something similar back home. So he had his guards receive three months of training, where they would sit perfectly still for around four hours. They werent allowed to talk or smile, eat, drink, or even shoo away a fly if it sat on their faces. In the end, Abdul proved the best of the group, s
24、o he got the strange job.Abdul isnt the only person in the world acting as a living statue, but what makes him special is the fact that he can do it for as long as six hours without even blinking his eyes. Once, a $ 155 prize was put up for anyone who can make him move a muscle. But try as they migh
25、t, no one has ever succeeded. Actually, Abdul tries to move about as much as he can in his spare time, and only eats healthy home-cooked food, to keep his body in shape. But he claims yoga has been the biggest help. In the 32 years, Abdul has become a celebrity in India and other Asian countries. Ma
26、ny Bollywood celebrities have come to witness this living statue and try to finally make him move, but none have succeeded.Abdul earns about 10,000 rupees ($ 156) a month, which is enough to support his family, but definitely not enough to encourage his children to follow in his footsteps. Its just
27、too stressful and taxing on the body. “Despite all the hardship and health problems, I love my job and I am thankful to people for the love and respect they have showered on me. he says. “When the time comes, I want to die playing a statue.”4. What is Abduls daily routine?A. Performing as a living s

How does Abdul feel about his job according to the text?A. Its overpaid.B. Its satisfying.C. Its boring.D. Its instructive.【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B【解
30、析】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了一个叫Abdul的人有一份特殊的工作就是扮演一个活体雕像,一天六小时站着一动不动,并且他表示他非常喜欢这份职业。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第一句“54-year-old Abdul has a special job. He has been working as a living statue (活体雕像) for over three decades standing perfectly still for six hours a day”(54岁的阿卜杜勒有一份特殊的工作。三十年来,他一直作为一个活体雕像,一天六小时站着一动不动。)可知,他的日常工作就
31、是表演一个活体雕像。故选A。【5题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段最后“So he had his guards receive three months of training, In the end, Abdul proved the best of the group, so he got the strange job.”(所以他(老板)让他的警卫接受了三个月的训练最后阿卜杜勒被证明是这个小组中最好的,所以他得到了这份奇怪的工作。)可推知,阿卜杜勒获得这份奇怪的工作是因为他在小组中脱颖而出。故选C。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Abdul tries to move about
32、as much as he can in his spare time,”(阿卜杜勒在业余时间尽量多走动。)可知,阿卜杜勒在业余时间尽量多走动。故选D。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I love my job and I am thankful to people for the love and respect they have showered on me, , ” he says.”(他说“我热爱我的工作,我感谢人们对我的爱和尊重。”)可推知,他对这份工作很满意,即这份工作令他满意。故选B。CAn Italian company has told staff to stop
33、 sending any internal (内部) emails for a week in an effort to reduce stress levels. Home textiles company Gabel, based in the northern Como region, appointed an expert to interview its employees about what their main concerns were at work, the local La Provincia di Como website reports. Many said tha
34、t managing the huge volume of internal emails was a burden during the working day. That pushed the companys management to propose a solution, which somewhat ironically was sent to all staff in an email. “Together we will begin the following experiment, which will take us back in time to when people
35、talked more,” managing director Emilio Colombo wrote, declaring an “email-free” week until 13 November. “We invite you not to use email for internal communications (between colleagues at the same location), in favor of a more direct and immediate contact.”The companys president, Michele Moltrasio, t
36、ells the BBC it hasnt been easy to stop such an “ingrained” practice, temporarily, but that employees have welcomed the challenge. “They are rediscovering the pleasure of meeting and talking rather than writing,” he says. And that includes Mr. Moltrasio, who is avoiding emails along with everyone el
37、se. “Even if from next week we all go back to using email, these days of experimentation are very worthwhile, to understand and rethink the methods and pace of working,” he says. Several recent studies have found that a high volume of emails raises stress levels at work. In 2013, researchers said th
38、at a full inbox led to peaks in peoples blood pressure and heart rate. And last year, a study at the University of British Columbia found that limiting email use during the day lowered peoples stress levels “significantly.”8.

41、. Employees working stress is due to the large number of emails they deal with every day.11. What is the employees attitude towards this solution?A. Negative.B. Supportive.C. Doubtful.D. Reserved.【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. B【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了意大利一家公司为了减轻员工的工作压力,发起了一项暂时停止使用电子邮件的活动。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“An It
42、alian company has told staff to stop sending any internal (内部) emails for a week in an effort to reduce stress levels.”可知,意大利一家公司要求员工在一周内停止发送任何内部邮件,以减轻压力。由此可知,意大利一家公司发起了一项暂时停止使用电子邮件的活动,以减轻员工的工作压力。故选B。【9题详解】词句猜测题。根据划线词前的“it hasnt been easy to stop”及语境可知,要阻止它(发送任何内部邮件)并不容易,因为可能大家已经习惯了这种沟通方式。由此推知,划线的词i
43、ngrained与deep-rooted(根深蒂固的)意思接近。故选A。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中的“We invite you not to use email for internal communications (between colleagues at the same location), in favor of a more direct and immediate contact.”可知,我们建议你不要使用电子邮件进行内部交流(同一地点的同事之间),而是要进行更直接、即时的联系。由此推知,员工之间现在不像过去那样直接沟通了。故选B。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据第
44、四段中的“The companys president, Michele Moltrasio, tells the BBC it hasnt been easy to stop such an “ingrained” practice, temporarily, but that employees have welcomed the challenge.”可知,公司总裁米歇尔莫尔特拉西奥告诉BBC,暂时停止这种“根深蒂固”的做法并不容易,但员工们欢迎挑战。由此可知,员工们对这个解决方案持支持态度。故选B。DRobotic surgery is one thing, but sending a
45、 robot inside the body to carry out an operation quite another, which has long been a goal of some researchers to produce tiny robotic devices being capable of traveling through the body to deliver drugs or to make repairs without the need for a single cut, the possibility of which has just got a bi
46、t closer.However, unlike the plot of one filmwhich featured a microscopic crew and submarine traveling through a scientists bloodstream this device could not be inserted into blood vessels (管) because it is too big. While other types of miniature swallowable robots have been developed in the past, t
47、heir role has mostly been limited to capturing images inside the body. In a presentation this week to the International Conference, Daniela Rus and Shuhei Miyashita of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology described a robot they have developed that can be swallowed and used to collect dangerous
48、objects accidentally taken in.To test their latest version, Dr Rus and Dr Miyashita designed a robot as a battery hunter, which might seem to he an odd task, but more than 3,500 people in America alone, most of them children, swallow the tiny button cells used in small electronic devices by accident
49、 every year. To start with, the researchers created an artificial esophagus (食道) and stomach made out of silicone (硅胶). It was closely modeled on that found in a pig and filled with medical liquid; the robot itself is made from several layers of different materials, including pig intestine (肠), and
50、contains a little magnet. This is folded up and encased in a 10mm27mm capsule of ice. Once this reaches the stomach the ice melts and the robot unfolds which is moved and guided with the use of a magnetic field outside the body. In their tests, the robot was able to touch a button battery and draw i
51、t with its own magnet, and during dragging it along, the robot could then be directed towards the intestines where it would eventually be gotten rid of through the anus(肛门). After it, the researchers sent in another robot loaded with medication to deliver it to the site of the battery bum to speed u
52、p healing.The artificial stomach being transparent on one side, the researchers were able to see the batteries and visually control the robots. If not, that will require help with the help from imaging system, which will be a bit more of a challenge, but Dr Rus and Dr Miyashita are determined to suc
53、ceed.12. According to the passage, the robot operation will probably be able to _.A. travel through a scientists bloodstreamB. photograph the body to convey to the doctorC. enter the body to deliver drugs or make repairsD. operate on a person outside the body completely13. We learn from Paragraph 3
54、that _.A. the researchers did the experiment on a chosen animalB. one robot took necessary drugs besides a little magnetC. digesting the swallowed batteries is difficult for childrenD. the actual size of the robot may he larger than the capsule of ice14. What may the experiment mean to the medical w
55、orld?A. The surgeries will cost patients much money.B. Patients will suffer less for sonic surgeries.C. Fewer children will swallow the button cells.D. A robot will be invented travelling blood vessels.15. Which can be the most suitable title for the passage?A. An Experiment on RobotB. Tiny Robot, G
56、reat ResearchersC. The Exploration of Robot TechnologyD. The Fantastic Robotic Voyage【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. D【解析】 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了麻省理工学院的Daniela Rus和Shuhei Miyashita开发的一种微型机器人,它可以被吞咽并用来收集意外吞入体内的危险物品。【12题详解】细节理解题。 根据第一段中的“which has long been a goal of some researchers to produce tiny robotic devices b
57、eing capable of traveling through the body to deliver drugs or to make repairs without the need for a single cut, the possibility of which has just got a bit closer.”(长期以来,一些研究人员一直致力于制造微型机器人设备,使其能够在人体内移动,运送药物或进行修复,而无需开刀,现在离这种可能性已经越来越近了)以及第二段中的“In a presentation this week to the International Confere
58、nce, Daniela Rus and Shuhei Miyashita of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology described a robot they have developed that can be swallowed and used to collect dangerous objects accidentally taken in.”(在本周的国际会议上,麻省理工学院的Daniela Rus和Shuhei Miyashita描述了他们开发的一种机器人,它可以被吞咽并用来收集意外吞入体内的危险物品)可知,机器人进入人体运送药
59、物或修复是有可能的,即C项是正确的,故选C。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中的“This is folded up and encased in a 10mm27mm capsule of ice. Once this reaches the stomach the ice melts and the robot unfolds which is moved and guided with the use of a magnetic field outside the body.” (它被折叠和包裹在一个10mm27毫米冰胶囊里。一旦到达胃部,冰胶囊融化,机器人打开,利用体外的磁场移动和
60、引导操控机器人)可知,因为机器人进入人体时是被折叠的,到了胃部冰融化后它会打开,由此可判断机器人的实际大小比冰胶囊大,故选D。【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“which has long been a goal of some researchers to produce tiny robotic devices being capable of traveling through the body to deliver drugs or to make repairs without the need for a single cut, the possibility of wh
61、ich has just got a bit closer.”(长期以来,一些研究人员一直致力于制造微型机器人设备,使其能够在人体内移动,运送药物或进行修复,而无需开刀,现在离这种可能性已经越来越近了)再结合第三段中提到的这种微型机器人的工作原理可知,这种微型机器人让病人无需开刀,而且还能加速体内被电池灼伤部位的愈合,由此可判断这个实验会让病人减少超声手术之苦,故选B。【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文介绍了麻省理工的Rus和Miyashita博士设计了一款用于取回人体内电池的机器人。通过机器人被折叠并包裹于胶囊内,被吞下进入人体,在体外磁场的操控下工作,引导电池通过肛门排出。再由
62、另一个装有药物的机器人送到电池灼烧处,加快伤口愈合。由此可知这是一件多么令人不可思议的人体旅行,由此可知,D项作为题目最为合适。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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Who Writes the Presidents Speeches?The president of the United States must be an orator. The president gives an annual address on the State of the Union and speaks at th
63、e inauguration and other special events. _16_ In his Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln spoke fewer than 300 words, but those words have become memorable. Franklin D. Roosevelt set the standard for later presidents in his 30 “fireside chats”, which aired on the radio and dealt with the Great Depres
64、sion and World War II. Beginning with George Washington, American presidents often sought assistance with the content and wording of their speeches, although they may have done the writing themselves. _17_ The first President to assign the task of speech-writing to an assistant, however, was Calvin
65、Coolidge (1923-1929), the laconic president whose nickname was “Silent Cal”. The assistants name was Judson Welliver. (Today, there is a bipartisan organization for former presidential speech - writers, the Judson Welliver Society.) Since the middle of the twentieth century, the role of such speech-
66、writers has expanded; the Executive branch now includes an Office of Speech-writing as part of its Department of Communications, Speech-writing and Media Affairs. _18_ In his inaugural speech, John F. Kennedy urged Americans “Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your co
67、untry”. George H. W. Bush, in his inaugural speech, imagined community volunteers and organizations as “a thousand points of light”. _19_The process of drafting a presidential speech is long and complicated, and different presidents make different contributions. Some write large parts of the text an
68、d invite criticism from assistants and advisers; others ask speech-writers to draft a speech in its entirety, and then they edit it to their own satisfaction. _20_ The final product, whatever the process, must “sound” like the person who speaks the words. As one speech writer recently said, “Our con
69、cern was not to writer a good speech, but to write a good speech that is also his speech.”A. Presidential speeches are a part of American history.B. Excellent writing skills are as available in business as they are in government.C. As time went on, the particular expertise of professional writers be
70、came more and more important.D. When people hear a president speak, they rarely think about others helping to shape the presentation.E. It is the writer, moreover, who often drafts the memorable words by which the public identifies a modern president.F. In any case, speech - writing is a back-and-fo
71、rth process involving specialists in the subject area addressed, the presidents personal advisers, and (of course) the president.G. Both of these phrases originate with the gifted men and women who worked as the presidents speech-writers.【答案】16. A 17. C 18. E 19. G 20. F【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国总统演讲稿是如
72、何出炉的。【16题详解】根据前句“The president gives an annual address on the State of the Union and speaks at the inauguration and other special events.(总统每年都会发表国情咨文,并在就职典礼和其他特别活动上发表演讲。)”和后文所举的两位美国著名总统演讲的例子可知,总统演讲已经成为美国历史的一部分。所以选择项A“Presidential speeches are a part of American history.(总统演讲是美国历史的一部分。)”符合上下文语境。故选A。
73、【17题详解】根据上文“Beginning with George Washington, American presidents often sought assistance with the content and wording of their speeches, although they may have done the writing themselves. (从乔治华盛顿开始,美国的总统们经常在演讲的内容和措辞上寻求帮助,尽管他们可能是自己写的。)”和后句“The first President to assign the task of speech-writing to
74、 an assistant, however, was Calvin Coolidge (1923-1929), the laconic president whose nickname was “Silent Cal”.( 然而,第一位将撰写演讲稿的任务交给助手的总统是卡尔文柯立芝(1923-1929年),这位言辞简洁的总统的绰号是“沉默的卡尔”。)”可知,此句起承上启下作用,总统演讲的演讲稿由总统自己写转换为专业作者代写。所以选择项C“As time went on, the particular expertise of professional writers became more
75、and more important. (随着时间的推移,专业作者的专业技能变得越来越重要。)”符合上下文语境。故选C。【18题详解】根据后文“In his inaugural speech, John F. Kennedy urged Americans “Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country”. George H. W. Bush, in his inaugural speech, imagined community volunteers and organizati
76、ons as “a thousand points of light”. (约翰肯尼迪在就职演说中敦促美国人“不要问你的国家能为你做什么,而要问你能为你的国家做什么”。乔治布什在就职演说中把社区志愿者和组织想象成“一千个光点”。)”所举的两位美国总统演讲中的著名的语句可知,为总统写演讲稿的作者要写一些能够让公众记得总统的话语。所以选择项E“It is the writer, moreover, who often drafts the memorable words by which the public identifies a modern president. (此外,作者还经常起草那些
77、让公众记住一位现代总统的令人难忘的话。)”符合上下文语境。故选E。【19题详解】根据前两句“In his inaugural speech, John F. Kennedy urged Americans “Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country”. George H. W. Bush, in his inaugural speech, imagined community volunteers and organizations as “a thousand points
78、of light”. (约翰肯尼迪在就职演说中敦促美国人“不要问你的国家能为你做什么,而要问你能为你的国家做什么”。乔治布什在就职演说中把社区志愿者和组织想象成“一千个光点”。)”可知,下文要说明这两句令人难忘的短语的来源。所以选择项G“Both of these phrases originate with the gifted men and women who worked as the presidents speech-writers. (这两个短语都起源于那些作为总统演讲撰稿人的天才男女。)”符合上下文语境。选择项中的“Both of these phrases”指代的前文中的“A
79、sk not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country”和“a thousand points of light”这两句话。故选G。【20题详解】根据后句“The final product, whatever the process, must “sound” like the person who speaks the words. (无论过程如何,最终的产品必须“听起来”像说话的人。)”可知,前句要说明写演讲稿是什么样的过程。所以选择项F“In any case, speech - wr
80、iting is a back-and-forth process involving specialists in the subject area addressed, the presidents personal advisers, and (of course) the president. (在任何情况下,写演讲稿都是一个来回的过程,涉及到主题领域的专家、总统的私人顾问,当然还有总统。)”符合上下文语境。后句中的“the process”指代的选择项中的“a back-and-forth process”。故选F。第三部分 语言知识运用( 共两节,满分45分)第一节 (共20小题;
