73、C项正确。【59题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Hancock hopes his research will help companies work out the best ways for their employees to communicate.”可知，汉考克希望他的研究能帮助公司找出员工沟通的最佳方式，再结合后面的例子可知，汉考克的建议是员工应根据不同的目的选择合适的通讯媒介，故B项正确。【点睛】本篇第1题的难度较大，抓住研究的结果是关键，根据上文的研究结果可知，人们打电话时更容易说谎，而电话销售人员为了卖出产品会在电话中竭尽全力鼓吹自己的产品是如何好，所以电话可以作为销售
74、的最好媒介是因为打电话时，雇员们有勇气夸大其词，由此可知画线短语的意思是“夸大”。(B)After walking miles of expo hall carpeting, watching countless live demos, and sitting through God knows how many press announcements, were ready to declare these ten products to be the best things we saw at CES (国际消费电子展) 2017.

75、iful gadgets on display here in Las Vegas, these are the products which exhibit the strong sense of innovation and vision within their categories. They achieve this through exquisite industrial design, innovative engineering, and simply seeing the future and realizing it in a product you can touch a

This week Lego introduced Boost, a new kit that lets kids bring their existing bricks to life with three different modules. You can
77、 program Lego to walk, roll, flash, and make noise via an app that uses drag and drop code. Kids probably wont notice theyre building logic skills when they program their hot (自动程序；网上机器人) to shoot a dart at their sister when she walks by, and thats the point. Its a sneaky way to get kids to learn, w
78、hich is exactly why theyll love it.The Hub robot is adorable, but LGs animated voice assistant also provides a clear peak at the future of in-home interfaces. These devices run Alexa, but they do more than your average Echo. A screen on the front doesnt just surface visual info like weather forecast
79、, it provides personality: blinking eyes patiently await your commands. Ask for your favorite tunes, and the little robot busts a move as it plays them. You can customize the wake word to anything youd like, and the big and mini versions of the robots have the exact same features. The only differenc

86、节理解题。根据第一段中的“They achieve this through exquisite industrial design, innovative engineering, and simply seeing the future and realizing it in a product you can touch and hold.”可知，这些产品体现了精湛的工业设计、创新意识以及高瞻性，也就是说它们代表了尖端的工业设计，故A项正确。【61题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中的“They add to a rooms decor, and they begged to be touc
87、hed.”可知，它们既为房间增添了装饰，摸起来又很舒服，由此可知作者说“好的扬声器是家具”的意思是它们不但与房间的装饰很协调，而且感觉很舒服，故C项正确。【62题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Its not a portable speaker ”可知，Beoplay M5不是便携式扬声器，故B项正确。(C)Until recently, the University of Kent prided itself on its friendly image. Not any more. Over the past few months it has been working hard, wi
88、th the help of media consultants, to downplay its cozy reputation in favor of something more academic and serious.Kent is not alone in considering an image revamp (翻新). Changes to next years funding regime (制度) are both forcing universities to justify charging students up to 9,000 in fees.Nowadays,
89、universities putting much more of a focus on their brands and what their value propositions are. While in the past universities have often focused on students social life and attractions of the university town in recruitment campaigns, they are now concentrating on more tangible attractions, such as
90、 employment prospects, engagement with industry, and lecturer contact hours, making clear exactly what students are going to get for their money.The problem for universities is that if those benefits fail to materialize students notice. That worries Rob Behrens, chief executive of the Office of the
91、Independent Adjudicator (OIA), which deals with student complaints. “Universities need to be extremely careful that they describe the reality of whats going to happen to students,” he says. “Because competition is going to get greater for attracting students, there is a danger that universities will
92、 go the extra mile.”One university told prospective engineering students they would be able to design a car and race it at Brands Hatch, which never happened, he says. “If universities spent as much money on handling complaints and appeals appropriately as they spend on marketing, they would do bett
93、er at keeping students, and in the National Student Survey returns,” he says.Ongoing research by Heist tracking prospective 2012 students suggests that they are not only becoming more sophisticated in thinking about what they want from a university, but are also spending more time researching eviden
94、ce to back up institutional claims.Hence the growing importance of the student survey and league tables. From next September, all institutions will also be expected to publish on their websites key information sets, allowing easier comparison between institutionsand between promises and realityof st
95、udent satisfaction levels, course information, and the types of jobs and salaries graduates go on to.As a result, it is hardly surprising that universities are beginning to change the way they market themselves. While the best form of marketing for institutions is to be good at what they do, they al
96、so need to be clear about how they are different from others.And it is vital that once an institution claims to be particularly good at something, it must live up to it. The moment you position yourself, you become exposed because you have played your joker, and if you fail in that you are in troubl
97、e.63. What are universities putting their focus on to attract students?A. A friendly reputation.B. Student funding.C. Students social lifeD. Practical benefits.64. According to Behrens, which of the following may NOT be the consequences if students complaints are not dealt well with?A. Universities
98、may not be able to attract prospective students.B. Students will become more sophisticated.C. It will do harm to the reputation of the universities.D. Universities may not be able to keep students.65. Rob Behrens suggests universities do in marketing themselves EXCEPT _.A. make high promises to attr
99、act studentsB. establish their own strengthsC. show graduates career perspectiveD. show their feature courses66. What does the underlined word “joker” refer to?A. A person who are good at communication.B. A thing that cannot be predicted.C. The best thing that people cannot afford to lose.D. A card
100、that can be matched to any card.【答案】63. D 64. B 65. A 66. C【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如今大学在吸引学生方面的工作重心以及在如何处理学生的抱怨方面和营销策略的建议。【63题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“they are now concentrating on more tangible attractions, such as employment prospects, engagement with industry, and lecturer contact hours, making clear exactly wha
101、t students are going to get for their money.”可知，大学现在专注于更有形的吸引力，比如就业前景，与行业的接触，以及与讲师的接触时间等等，由此可知，大学在吸引学生方面的重点是实际利益，故D项正确。【64题详解】细节理解题。根据第三、四段内容可知，如果学生的抱怨得不到妥善处理会影响大学的声誉、让大学留不住学生以及不能吸引潜在的学生；再根据第五段中的“Ongoing research by Heist tracking prospective 2012 students suggests that they are not only becoming mo
102、re sophisticated in thinking about what they want from a university”可知，正在进行的一项跟踪2012年学生的研究表明，学生们在思考自己想从大学得到什么方面变得更加成熟，这是研究表明的结果而不是学生的抱怨得不到妥善处理的后果，故B项正确。【65题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“and the types of jobs and salaries graduates go on to”可知，大学要向学生们展示就业前景；根据倒数第二段中的“they also need to be clear about how they ar
103、e different from others.”可知，大学要向学生们展示自己的特色学科；根据最后一段中的“And it is vital that once an institution claims to be particularly good at something, it must live up to it.”可知，大学要建立起自己的优势，而没有提到通过做出高承诺来营销，故选A项。【66题详解】词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“And it is vital that once an institution claims to be particularly good at somet
104、hing, it must live up to it.”可知，至关重要的是，一旦一家机构声称自己在某方面特别擅长，它就必须做到这一点，一旦你给自己做出了定位，你就不能失去你赖以生存的特长，否则你就会陷入麻烦，由此可知，画线词指的就是丢不起的东西（不能失去的好东西），故C项正确。Section C (8%)Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below.

119、he following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main file of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Declining mental function is often seen as a problem of old age, but certain aspects of brain function actually begin their decline in young adulthood, a new
120、 study suggests.The study, which followed more than 2,000 healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 60, found that certain mental functionsincluding measures of abstract reasoning, mental speed and puzzle-solvingstarted to dull as early as age 27. Dips in memory, meanwhile, generally became apparent
121、 around age 37.On the other hand, indicators of a persons accumulated knowledgelike performance on tests of vocabulary and general knowledgekept improving with age, according to the findings published in the journal Neurobiology of Aging. The results do not mean that young adults need to start worry
122、ing about their memories. Most peoples minds function at a high level even in their later years, according to researcher Timothy Salthouse.“These patterns suggest that some types of mental flexibility decrease relatively early in adulthood, but that the amount of knowledge one has, and the effective
123、ness of integrating it with ones abilities, may increase throughout all of adulthood if there are no diseases,” Salthouse said in a news release.The study included healthy, educated adults who took standard tests of memory, reasoning and perception at the outset and at some point over the next seven
124、 years. The tests are designed to detect subtle (细微的) changes in mental function, and involve solving puzzles, recalling words and details from stories, and identifying patterns in collections of letters and symbols. In general, Salthouse and his colleagues found, certain aspects of cognition (认知能力)
125、 generally started to decline in the late 20s to 30s. The findings shed light on normal age-related changes in mental function, which could aid in understanding the process of dementia (痴呆), according to the researchers._【答案】Brain function may start declining in early adulthood, but knowledge accumu
126、lation will make up for the loss of certain mental capacities. The study was carried out over seven years by asking healthy, educated young adults to take standard tests about different aspects of cognition. The findings may help understand the process of dementia.【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是概要写作，注意词数要求和使用自己的语言。
127、【详解】概要写作是概括文章要点。第一步，要读懂文章大意；第二步，抓住主题句或关键信息，忽略次要信息。结合文章，根据第一段中的“but certain aspects of brain function actually begin their decline in young adulthood”可知，大脑功能的某些方面实际上在成年早期就开始衰退，再根据第三段中的“indicators of a persons accumulated knowledgelike performance on tests of vocabulary and general knowledgekept impro
128、ving with age”及“The results do not mean that young adults need to start worrying about their memories.”可知，一个人知识积累随着年龄的增长而不断提高，这意味着年轻人不必担心他们的记忆力，概括为：大脑功能可能在成年早期开始衰退，但知识的积累将弥补某些心智能力的丧失（Brain function may start declining in early adulthood, but knowledge accumulation will make up for the loss of certai
129、n mental capacities.）；根据最后一段中的“The study included healthy, educated adults who took standard tests of memory, reasoning and perception at the outset and at some point over the next seven years.”可知，这项研究包括健康、受过教育的成年人，他们在研究开始时以及未来7年的某个时候接受了记忆、推理和感知方面的标准测试，要点为：这项研究历时7年，要求健康、受过教育的年轻人参加有关认知不同方面的标准测试（The s

Actually, it is quite a view with all the cheerfulness in the air. However, when square dancers are absorbed in moves and
141、rhythms, complaints arise. Boys are complaining about dancers occupying their basketball courts. Students doing homework hate the constant distraction and interruption caused by the noisy music. Some even urge the government to take measures to ban square dancing.As far as I am concerned, communicat
