D【解析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者在文中讲述了自己面试牛津大学失败的故事，虽然面试失败了，但是作者认为，那次失败给自己的人生上了宝贵的一课。【21题详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：话音刚落，我就知道我犯了一个错误。A. produced sensation产生感觉；B.made a mistake犯错；C. sparked controversy 引发争议；D. caused disruption 造成破坏。根据下文“You think Jane Austen is. soft?” The man opposite me asked in d
50、isbelief.

51、 novels were, in fact, savage”可知，考官们与作者的观点截然相反，他们都认为简 奥斯汀的作品是野蛮的，因此，他们挑战（challenge）作者的观点。故选D项。【23题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：“我的意思是”我用一种轻快的声音说，尽量保持轻松的语气，“她不像弗吉尼亚伍尔夫那么刻薄。”A.subtle微妙的；B.bright轻快的；C.sophisticated复杂的；D.vague模糊的。根据“trying to keep the tone light”可知，作者非常紧张，所以尽可能用一种轻快的（bright）语气来让自己保持轻松。故选B项。【24题详解】考查

54、facilitated促进；C.implanted注入；D.distributed分发。根据第五段“I felt a pang of disappointment”可知，作者在这次面试中失败了，因为他在陈述对于奥斯汀的作品的观点时，与考官们的想法背道而驰。因此，他意识到他上牛津大学的梦想消失了（vanished）。故选A项。【27题详解】考查连词词义辨析。句意：尽管我是个优等生，并已尽我所能准备面试，但我并不是一个熟练的辩论家。A.As long as只要；B.Even though即使；C.Despite尽管；D.Because因为。根据句意“I was a straight A stude
55、nt and had prepared for the interview to the best of my ability(我是个优等生，并已尽我所能准备面试)”与“I wasnt a skilled debater(我并不是一个熟练的辩论家)”之间构成让步关系，故用Even though（即使）引导让步状语从句。虽然despite也有此意，但该词后只能接名词性质的词。故选B项。【28题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：当面对两个告诉我我错了的专家时，我没有为自己辩护，而是接受了失败。A.paradox矛盾；B.compromise妥协；C.defeat失败；D.embarrassment尴尬

57、人陈述上说你没有准备好的个人赘述。A.substitute替代；B.readiness准备就绪；C.optimism乐观；D.concern担忧。根据本文第一段，作者在说完他个人对奥斯汀的作品的观点之后，遭到了考官的轮流抨击。实际上，作者说完就后悔了，由此推知他面试前并未准备好（readiness）要陈述自己对奥斯汀的作品的观点。故选B项。【31题详解】考查副词词义辨析。句意：自然，我感到一阵失望。A.Previously以前；B. Practically实际上；C.Naturally自然；D.Exclusively专门。根据下一句“I had wanted to go to Oxford s
58、ince I was 13.”可知，作者自从13岁开始，就梦想考上牛津大学，因此，当他得知自己没有被录取的时候，自然地（Naturally）感到很失望。故选C项。【32题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：我过去常常像准新娘急切地浏览婚纱一样浏览我最喜欢的大学的照片。A.resentment怨恨；B.controversy争议；C.distraction分心；D.eagerness急切。根据“a bride-to-be browsing wedding dresses.”可知，作者将自己对于能够升入牛津大学的渴望，就如同待嫁新娘急切(eagerness)想穿婚纱一样。故选D项。【33题详解】考查副词
59、短语辨析。句意：最终，我没有得到所需要的但是，回头看，这不一定是件坏事。A.not necessarily不一定；B.all but但是；C.in particular特别地；D.at length终于。根据“Instead of going to Oxford, I found a university that was a better fit for my interests.”可知，虽然没有考上牛津大学，但是作者找到了一所更适合自己兴趣的大学，因此，当初没有考上牛津，在作者看来，不一定（not necessarily）是坏事。故选A项。【34题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我现在对自
60、己的观点更有信心，在辩论时更有激情，我努力用牢固的证据来支持我的观点。A.stubborn固执的；B.hard坚固的，牢固的；C.radical激进；D.generous慷慨的。根据“Failing my Oxford interview also provided a valuable life lesson. Im now more confident in my opinions, more passionate when it comes to debate”可知，作者认为，牛津大学的面试失败给了他经验和教训，因此，在以后的辩论前，他都会做足充分的准备，用牢固的（hard）证据来支持自
61、己的观点。故选B项。【35题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：更重要的是，从那以后，我再也不用装一个傻笑，然后用“让我们保持各自的观点，可以吗？”来结束一段讨论。A.stunning惊人的；B.winning获胜的；C.overwhelming压倒性的；D.simpering傻笑的。根据上文语境可知，作者认为，辩论前做好充分的准备，对自己更有了信心，不需要依靠尴尬的傻笑（simpering）来结束辩论。故选D项。Section BDirections: Read the following three passages.

74、view about others need changing constantly【答案】36. B 37. A 38. D 39. C【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种Be another lab的体验，可以让人们互换角色，这样可以一定程度上消除人们的偏见，也可以促进人与人的相互理解。【36题详解】词句猜测题。根据第一段的最后的描写：She swapped with her partner, an actor, using a machine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily became a man. As I look
75、ed down, I saw my whole body as a man, dressed in my partners pants, she said. Thats the picture I remember best.可知，她和她的搭档，一个演员，用一台叫The Machine to Be Another交换了身体。”她说：“当我往下看时，我看到我整个身体都是男人，穿着我搭档的裤子。”这是我记得最清楚的照片。所以女演员和男演员互换了角色，故根据上下文语境可以判断出，swapping的意思是“交换”，故选B。【37题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第三段的最后一句话：Eventually, t
76、his kind of slow synchronised（同步的）movement becomes comfortable, and participants really start to feel as though they are living in another persons body.可知，最终，这种缓慢的同步运动变得舒适起来，参与者真的开始觉得他们好像生活在另一个人的身体里。从Be another lab的体验可以推断出我们的感觉和身体的经验有关，故选A【38题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第四段Studies have shown that virtual reality c
77、an be effective in fighting racism-the bias（偏见）that humans have against those who dont look or sound like them.可知，研究表明，虚拟现实可以有效地打击种族主义，即人类对那些长得或听起来不像他们的人的偏见。所以在the Implicit Association test中，在参与者使用虚拟现实的眼镜控制一个黑色皮肤的人之前，他们对不像他们的人物更有偏见，选D。【39题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第三段和第四段The idea is that once youve put yourself

104、Unhealthy health care bills, long emergency-room waits and inability to find a primary care physician just scratch the surface of the problems that patients face daily.(不健康的医疗费用，长时间的急诊室等待，找不到初级保健医生，这些都只是患者日常面临的问题的表面)”以及第二段“Primary care should be the backbone of any health care system.(初级保健应是保健系统的支柱)
105、”以及第三段“How did we let primary care slip so far?(到目前为止，我们是如何让初级保健滑坡的？)”可知，作者认为，初级医保应是保健系统的支柱，然而，美国由于初级保健的日益衰落滑坡，导致患者要负担更多的医疗费用、急诊室长久的等待、找不到初级保健的医生等等问题。因此，作者对当前美国医疗体系的主要担忧是：D项“the shrinking primary care resources(日益萎缩的初级保健资源)”符合题意。故选D项。【44题详解】推理判断题。根据本文第三段段“Contrary to popular belief, the more physici
106、ans taking care of you dont guarantee better care. Actually increasing breakup of care results in a corresponding rise in costs and medical errors. (与普遍的看法相反，医生照顾你越多，并不能保证更好的治疗。事实上，越来越多的医疗分拆导致了相应的费用和医疗差错的增加。)”可知，人们普遍认为，照顾同一位患者的医生越多，就意味着患者能得到更好的治疗。因此，我们从这篇文章中了解到人们倾向于相信：D项“the more doctors taking care
107、 of a patient, the better (照顾一位病人的医生越多越好)”符合题意。故选D项。【45题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段“Medical students are not blind to this scenario. They see how heavily the reimbursement deck is stacked against primary care. The recent numbers show that since 1997, newly graduated U.S. medical students who choose primary care
108、as a career have declined by 50%. (医科专业的学生并非没有意识到这一情况，他们认识到费用返还制度对初级医保极其不利。最近的数据显示，自1997年以来，美国医科毕业生选择初级保健作为职业的人数已下降50%)”可知，由于现有医疗体系使医学生们认识到费用返还制度对初级医保极其不利，人们认为初级保健职业没有工作前景，所以选择初级保健作为职业的人数越来越少。因此，许多医学毕业生拒绝选择初级保健作为他们的职业的原因是：B项 “The current system works against primary care.(目前的制度与初级医保背道而驰)”符合题意。故选B项。【
109、46题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Make primary care more attractive food to medical students by forgiving students loans for those who choose primary care as a career and harmonizing the marked difference between specialist and primary care physician salaries.(通过免除选择初级保健作为职业的学生的贷款，并协调专科医生和初级保健医生之间的工资显著差异，使初级保健对医学
110、生更有吸引力)”可知，作者建议，要吸引更多的人选择初级保健医生职业，就要免除选择初级保健作为职业的学生的贷款、消除专科医生和初级保健医生之间的工资显著差异。因此，为了提供更好的医疗保健，作者提出建议有：A项“Bridge the salary gap between specialists and primary care physicians(缩小专科医生和初级保健医生之间的工资差距)”符合题意，故选A项。Section CDirections: Read the following passage.
