20、本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Barrington Irving学习飞行、独自一人飞越全球并成立公益组织传播飞行知识及经验的故事。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中The secret, he believes, is having a dream in the first place, and that starts with learning experiences that inspire kids to build careers.可知他相信，秘诀在于首先要有梦想，而梦想从学习经验开始，激励孩子们去建立自己的职业生涯。由此可知，在Irving看来，取得成功最重要的是有明确的目标。故选C
21、。【5题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中“I told him I didnt think I was smart enough;”(“我告诉他，我认为自己不够聪明。”)可知Irving告诉对方自己可能不够聪明，表明Irving怀疑自己的能力。故选B。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中Then another dream took hold: flying alone around the world.可知然后另一个梦想出现了：独自飞行环游世界。由此可知，在他知道如何飞行之后，他接受了进一步的挑战。故选D。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中“It was seeing so many you

31、for the passage?A. The Inner Lives of Food AnimalsB. The Lifestyles of Food AnimalsC. Science Reports on Food AnimalsD. A Revolution in Food Animals【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章论述了我们原来当作食物的动物实际上也有情感有思想，文章通过科学研究来说明，母鸡和猪也具备情感，也具备分析推理能力。人类不应只将它们当作食物。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中When given problems to so
32、lve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored buttons choose some times to give up an immediate food reward for a slightly later (and better) one可知，当解决问题时，母鸡们会推理：例如，受过挑选彩色纽扣的训练的母鸡们有时会选择放弃即时的食物奖励，换取稍晚一些（而且更好）的食物奖励。由此可知，母鸡们具备分析能力。故选B。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Pigs respond meaningful to human symbols. When
33、a research team led by Candace Croney at Penn State University carried wooden blocks marked with X and O symbols around pigs, only the O carriers offered food to the animals.

34、th X or O symbols. Still, the pigs walked only toward the O-shirted people: they had transferred their knowledge to a two-dimensional format, a not inconsiderable feat of reasoning.”可知猪会对人类的符号做出有意义的反应。宾夕法尼亚州立大学的Candace Croney领导的一个研究小组拿着带X标记的木板，一些研究者拿着带O标记的木板，只有拿带O标记木板的研究者给猪提供食物，猪很快就只理会这些研究者了。当木板换成带X
35、和O标记的衬衫时，猪仍然只走向那些穿带O标记衬衫的研究者。这表明猪将把知识转移到了二维的形式，这是一种相当大的推理壮举。由此可知，对猪的研究表明了猪可以把知识应用到新的情况。故选D。【10题详解】主旨大意题。根据第四段Ive been guilty of prejudiced expectations, myself. At the start of my career, I was firmly convinced that monkeys and apes who are from our own mammalian(哺乳动物的) class out-think and out-feel

37、painful procedure kin laboratories, elephants forced to perform in circuses, and dolphins kept in small tanks at theme parks.可知我自己也对偏见的期望感到内疚。在我的职业生涯开始时，我坚信来自我们自己的哺乳动物阶级的猴子和猿类比其他动物思维和感觉都好。很快，我发现鲸鱼也是文化学习的大师，大象和它们的社交伙伴表达了深深的喜悦和哀悼。长期的研究帮助推动了我们社会的一种观点转变：公众不再那么容易接受让猴子在同类实验室经历痛苦的过程，大象被迫在马戏团表演，海豚被关在主题公园的小水
38、箱里。由此可知，第四段介绍的是人们对动物看法的转变。故选C。【11题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段Science is finally beginning to embrace animals who were, for a long time, considered second-class citizens.可知科学终于开始拥抱那些长期以来被认为是二等公民的动物了。文章第二和第三段以母鸡和猪为例告诉读者：通过科学研究，母鸡和猪也具备情感，也具备分析推理能力。第四段介绍了人们对动物看法的转变。第五和第六段呼吁读者：动物有自己的情感和思想，我们不要只将动物当成我们的食物。结合每段大意可知，该文主
39、要是围绕动物也有情感有思想来展开的。故A选项“食用动物的内心生活”适合做该文标题。故选A。DFrom linguists point of view, grammar is a set of patterns for how words are put together to form phrases or clauses, whether in spoken or written. Different languages have different patterns. Some scholars have tried to identify patterns common to all l
40、anguages. But apart from some basic features, few of these so-called linguistic universals have been found.The study of these patterns open up “an ongoing debate” between two positions, known as prescriptivism and descriptivism. Prescriptivism thinks a given language should follow consistent rules,
41、while descriptivism sees variation and adaptation as a natural and necessary part of language.Language purists(纯化论者) worked to establish and promote this standard by detailing a set of rules that reflected the established grammar of their times. And rules for written grammar were applied to spoken l
42、anguage as well. Speech patterns that deviated from the written rules were considered signs of low social status. And many people who are grown-ups speaking in these ways were forced to adopt the standardized form.More recently, however, linguists have understood that speech is a separate phenomenon
43、 from writing with its own regularities and patterns.We form our spoken skills through unconscious habits, not memorized rules. And because speech also uses mood and intonation for meaning, its structure is often more flexible, adapting to the needs of speakers and listeners. This could mean avoidin

Like language itself, its a wonderful and co
45、mplex fabric woven through the contributions of speakers and listeners, writers and readers, prescriptivists and descriptivists from both near and far.12. What does the underlined word“deviated”in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. copiedB. updatedC. differedD. originated13. According to the passage, pres

48、对语言模式研究有两大立场规定主义和描述主义，而最近语言学家提出语言是一种独立于文字的现象，有其自身的规律和模式，我们通过无意识的习惯而不是记忆规则来形成语言技能。【12题详解】词义猜测题。根据后文And many people who are grown-ups speaking in these ways were forced to adopt the standardized form.可知许多用这种方式说话的成年人被迫采用标准化的形式。这是前一句的结果，由此可知，不同于书面规则的说话方式被认为是社会地位低下的标志。故划线单词意思为“不同”。A. copied复制；B. updated更
49、新；C. differed使不同；D. originated起源。故选C。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中Prescriptivism thinks a given language should follow consistent rules, while descriptivism sees variation and adaptation as a natural and necessary part of language.可知规定主义认为特定的语言应该遵循一致的规则，而描述主义则认为变异和顺应是语言的自然和必要的组成部分。由此可知，规定主义专注于既定的语言模式。故选A。【14题
50、详解】主旨大意题。根据第四段More recently, however, linguists have understood that speech is a separate phenomenon from writing with its own regularities and patterns. We form our spoken skills through unconscious habits, not memorized rules. And because speech also uses mood and intonation for meaning, its struc
51、ture is often more flexible, adapting to the needs of speakers and listeners. This could mean avoiding complex clauses that are hard to understand in real time, making changes to avoid awkward pronunciation or removing sounds to make speech faster.可知然而，最近语言学家已经明白，说话是一种独立于书写的现象，有其自身的规律和模式。我们通过无意识的习惯，
52、而不是记忆规则来形成口语技能。而且，由于讲话也使用语气和语调来表达意思，它的结构往往更加灵活，以适应说话人和听众的需要。这可能意味着要避免复杂的从句，因为这些从句很难实时理解，要做出改变，以避免尴尬的发音，或消除声音，以提高讲话速度。由此可知，本段主要讲的是不同于规定主义和描述主义的、新的对语言模式的理解，即第四段的主要内容是对语言有了新的理解。故选A。【15题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段From linguists point of view, grammar is a set of patterns for how words are put together to form phrase
53、s or clauses, whether in spoken or written. Different languages have different patterns. Some scholars have tried to identify patterns common to all languages. But apart from some basic features, few of these so-called linguistic universals have been found.可知从语言学家的观点来看，语法是一套模式，无论在口语还是书面语中，词汇如何组合成短语或
54、从句。不同的语言有不同的模式。一些学者试图找出所有语言的共同模式。但除了一些基本特征外，这些所谓的语言共性很少被发现。结合文章介绍了以前对语言模式研究有两大立场规定主义和描述主义，而最近语言学家提出语言是一种独立于文字的现象，有其自身的规律和模式，我们通过无意识的习惯而不是记忆规则来形成语言技能。由此可知，C选项“语法：规则或习惯”最符合文章标题。故选C。第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Many people are stuck in a life they dont want, and ar

62、hing from financial restrictions to social pressures. If you are looking to pursue your dreams, it can be discouraging to change everything at once.可知许多人被困在他们不想要的生活中，被从经济限制到社会压力的一切所束缚。如果你想追求你的梦想，一下子改变一切会让你沮丧。由此可知，上文提出了不要做大的改变，那么本句应当是建议从小的改变做起会比较容易。故G选项“相反，做一些小的，渐进的改变，为梦想的道路做准备，会使这个过程更容易”符合上下文语境，故选G。
63、【17题详解】根据本段第一句Write down your goals to get them out of your head and into reality.可知写下你的目标，让它们从你的脑海中消失，变成现实。以及后文Dont leave anything out, no matter how small or silly it sounds. Look at the themes of your list to get an idea of what your dream life will look like.可知不要漏掉任何东西，不管它听起来多么小或愚蠢。看看你清单上的主题，了解一
64、下你的梦想生活是什么样子的。由此可知，本句应当是在说明列出生活中想要完成的事情，不要遗漏。故F选项“列出你在生活中想要完成的事情，包括个人的和专业的”符合上下文语境，故选F。【18题详解】根据后文choose one that is relatively easy to accomplish, one that is doable but will require work and one that seems impossible based on your current circumstances and lifestyle.可知选择一个相对容易完成的，一个是可行的，但需要努力，一个似乎

Each time you complete one of the steps, cross it off so you can celebrate the process in addition to the end result.可知从最小的目标开始，循
66、序渐进直到你实现它。每完成一个步骤，把它划掉，这样你就可以庆祝这个过程以及最终的结果。由此可知，本句承接上文说明，实现了这些目标之后应该想办法把目标融入生活。故D选项“当你实现了目标，想办法继续把它融入你的生活”符合上下文语境，故选D。【20题详解】根据后文If your big dream is to quit your job and travel the world, start a savings account that is dedicated to travel money and set aside a small amount each week for three year
67、s. Plan your steps according to the time you set and they will be doable and fit smoothly into your life.可知如果你的梦想是辞职去环游世界，那就开设一个专门用于旅行的储蓄账户，每周存一小笔钱，持续三年。根据你设定的时间计划你的步骤，它们将是可行的，并顺利地融入你的生活。由此可知，本句是在说明为目标设定一个时间期限。故E选项“为每个目标设定一个期限，无论是一年还是五年”符合上下文语境，故选E。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
