23、prevent or manage all diseases” in the next 80 or so years.A. accomplish B. accomplishedC. accomplishing D. being accomplished【答案】B【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：他们不太可能实现的目标是在未来80年左右“治愈、预防或控制所有疾病”。The goal与动词accomplish是被动关系，指目标被完成，此处用过去分词作宾补，完整形式为see the goal accomplished.故选B.9. the number of people queuing up outs

Others think of them more as
56、something that leads to self-appreciation, threatens privacy and reduces intelligent conversations to the exchange of rude memes (搞笑图片). They might even, these kinds of arguments go, be creating a generation of electronic addicts who are incapable of reflective, individual, original thought.A topic
57、ripe for anthropological (人类学的) study, then. And such a study, the “Why We Post (发帖)” project, has just been published by nine anthropologists, led by Daniel Miller of University College, London.The participants in “Why We Post” worked independently for 15 months at locations in Brazil, Britain, Chi
58、le, China (one rural and one industrial site), India, Italy, Trinidad and Tobago, and Turkey. They buried themselves within families and their surrounding communities. That, the team believes, let them form a subtle view of the roles of social media in their study sites which could not be gained by
59、analysing participants public postings. These by-standers viewpoints deny much received wisdom. One of the biggest doubts is the “selfie” - which is often blamed for causing self-regard and too much focus on attractiveness. “Why We Post”, however, reveals that the selfie itself has many faces. In Br
60、azil many selfies posted by men were taken at the gym. But at the British site, Dr Miller found, school children posted five times as many “groupies” (images of the picture-taker with friends) as they did selfies. Britons have also created a category called “uglies” (曝丑照), of which the purpose is to
61、 take as ugly a self-image as possible.The often-humorous, marked-up images known as memes have also come in for criticism. They lower down traditional forms of public debate, spreading far and wide with little context. But memes serve different purposes in different cultures. In India they tend to
62、focus on serious and religious issues; Trinidadian memes are more often send-ups of politicians. Yet in all cases Dr Miller sees meme-passing not as limiting what social media users think and say, but as enabling conversations. Many users happily forward memes with strong political or economic messa
63、ges about which they would not dare to comment individually.Critics also often view the online characters people create for their social-media postings as false images designed for the medium at hand. Trinidadians, however, disagree. They see online profiles as more representative of a persons true
64、self even than what is seen in real life. Also, young boys and girls in Turkey see things differently. Social media permit them to be in constant contact with one another, in full view of their parents, but to keep their conversations and photos to themselves.In rural China and Turkey social media w
65、ere viewed as a distraction from education. But in industrial China and Brazil they were seen to be an educational resource. Such a divide was evident in India, too. There, high-income families regarded them with suspicion but low-income families advocated them as a supplementary source of schooling
66、. In Britain, meanwhile, they were valued not directly as a means of education, but as a way for pupils，parents and teachers to communicate.The skeptics reaction to new technology seems equally deep-rooted. New means of communication from railways and the telegraph onwards have always attracted crit
67、ics. Therefore, sooner or later, the doubters either convert, or die.36. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A. Face-to-face conversations are better than social media.B. Social-media platforms bring more problems than benefits.C. Opinions are divided on the influences of social media.D. More people
68、will be addicted to electronic products.37. Which of the following statements is Daniel Miller likely to support?A. Selfies make people focus too much on attractiveness.B. Memes lower down traditional forms of public debate.C. Online images created for social-media are false.D. Not all received wisd
69、om is true on social media.38. The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refers to _.A. the way the team carried out their projectB. the way the team analysed public postingsC. the way the families lived in the communitiesD. the way the participants buried themselves39. The writers attitude towards
70、social media is _.A. ambiguous B. positiveC. unknown D. negative【答案】36. C 37. D 38. A 39. B【解析】文中作者列举和分析了人们对社交媒体的不同观点及调查。36. C推理判断题。根据第一段To some, Others think of them和these kinds of arguments可知本段列举了对社交媒体的两种观点，及人们对此的争论。故选C.37. D推理判断题。根据第三段the team believes, let them form a subtle view of the roles of
71、 social media in their study sites which could not be gained by analysing participants public postings. These by-standers viewpoints deny much received wisdom.可知研究者们认为，调查让他们有许多不寻常的收获，这些旁观者否认得到了许多智慧。由此可见并不是所有人都能从社交媒体收获智慧，故选D.38. A猜测词义题。根据划线词前的They buried themselves within families and their surroundi
72、ng communities.可知研究者们积极投入到各个家庭和社区进行调查，此处that指代他们调查的工作方式，故选A.39. B推理判断题。根据文章最后New means of communication from railways and the telegraph onwards have always attracted critics. Therefore, sooner or later, the doubters either convert, or die.作者认为从铁路和电报开始的新的通信方式一直以来都受到批评，所以现在对社交媒体作用的怀疑者们也会改变观点或灭亡。由此可见作者
73、对社交媒体是支持的，故选B.【名师点睛】关于猜测词义题做这种类型的题，要根据词、词组、句子所在的语境上下文来判断其意义。因此熟练掌握一些猜词技巧是做好这类题的关键。命题者在出这类题时惯用常规词义来麻痹考生，我们要特别注意熟词生义，切不可脱离语境主观臆断。下面结合文本及近几年高考试题，对词义猜测的技巧加以解读。1.根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测有时短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语，下面接着出现其定义或解释，这就是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。例如：It will be very hard but also very brittlethat is, it will break easily.从
74、后面that is(也就是说)的解释中我们可以了解到brittle 是“脆”的意思。小题3根据划线词前的They buried themselves within families and their surrounding communities.可知研究者们积极投入到各个家庭和社区进行调查，此处that指代他们调查的工作方式。2.根据同位关系进行猜测阅读中出现的难词有时后面紧跟一个同位语，对前面的词进行解释，这时可利用同位关系对前面或后面的词义或句意进行猜测。例如：The “Chunnel”, a tunnel(隧道) connecting England and France, is n
75、ow complete.此句中a tunnel connecting England and France是Chunnel的同位语。因此，The “Chunnel”就是英法之间的海底隧道。3.根据构词法(前缀、后缀、复合、派生等)进行猜测在英语中，有很多词可以在前面加前缀，在后面加后缀，从而构成一个词，乍看起来，这个词可能是新词，但掌握了一定的构词知识，就不难猜出它的词义。例如：“Our parties are aimed for children 2 to 10,” Anaclerio said, “and theyre very interactive and creative in th
76、at they built a sense of drama based on a subject.”文中interactive是由前缀inter-(相互的)和active(活动的，活跃的)而构成的，同时根据上下文的意思可以判断，该词的含义应是“互动的”。4.根据转折或对比关系进行猜测根据上下句的连接词，如but, however, otherwise等就可以看到前后句在意义上的差别，从而依据某一句的含义，来确定另一句的含义。另外，分号也可以表示转折、对比或不相干的意义。例如：A childs birthday party doesnt have to be a hassle; it can
77、be a basket of fun.从前后两句的意思可以看出，hassle和a basket of fun肯定是近乎相反的意义。所以不难判断hassle的意思是“困难，麻烦”。BRobert F. Kennedy once said that a countrys GDP measures “everything except that which makes life worthwhile.” With Britain voting to leave the European Union, and GDP already predicted to slow as a result, it
78、is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to.The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a century. Many argue that it is a flawed (有缺陷的) concept. It measures things that do not matter and misses things that do. By most recent measures, the UKs GDP has
79、been the envy of the Western world, with record low unemployment and high growth figures. If everything was going so well, then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit, despite the warnings about what it could do to their countrys economic prospects?A recent annual study of countries and thei
80、r ability to convert growth into well-being sheds some light on that question. Across the 163 countries measured, the UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated into meaningful improvements for its citizens. Rather than just focusing on GDP, over 40 different
81、sets of criteria from health, education and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more rounded assessment of how countries are performing.While all of these countries face their own challenges, there are a number of consistent themes. Yes, there has been a budding economic recovery si
82、nce the 2008 global crash, but in key indicators in areas such as health and education, major economies have continued to decline. Yet this isnt the case with all countries. Some relatively poor European countries have seen huge improvements across measures including civil society, income equality a
83、nd the environment.This is a lesson that rich countries can learn: When GDP is no longer regarded as the sole measure of a countrys success, the world looks very different.So, what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nati
84、ons, as a measure, it is no longer enough. It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomesall things that contribute to a persons sense of well-being.The sharp hit to growth predicted around the world and in the UK could lead to a decline in the everyday ser
85、vices we depend on for our well-being and for growth. But policymakers who refocus efforts on improving well-being rather than simply worrying about GDP figures could avoid the forecasted doom and may even see progress.40. Robert F. Kennedy is quoted because he .A. praised the UK for its GDP B. iden
86、tified GDP with happinessC. misinterpreted the role of GDP D. had a low opinion of GDP41. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that .A. the UK is reluctant to remold its economic patternB. GDP as the measure of success is widely disapproved in the UKC. the UK will contribute less to the world economy
87、D. policymakers in the UK are paying less attention to GDP42. Which of the following is TRUE about the recent annual study?A. It is sponsored by 163 countries. B. It excludes GDP as an indicator.C. Its criteria are questionable. D. Its results are enlightening.43. In the last two paragraphs，the auth

116、e natural biological systems. Both plants and animals will have to respond to the changing climate. In some cases, this means adapting to higher temperatures. In other cases, the changes may be alterations in the rainfall, length of growing season, availability of resources, or other influences.Whil
117、e some animals can adapt, others will have to migrate. Obviously migration can be apparent in mobile animals that will move to maintain a more or less similar climate to which they are accustomed.But animal and plant movement does not occur in just a changing climate. It also has to make changes to
118、the landscape that humans create. For instance, increased land allocation to agriculture or urbanization can create barriers for free migration. So, what scientists really want to know is how these two factors will affect the patterns of animal and plant movement.Researchers in a study projected cha
119、nges in the distribution of climatically suitable zones for projected future climates. Using a computer model, they projected how and when the species would migrate and they tracked the migration routes. The study incorporated a resistance to movement based on the amount of human alteration to the l
120、andscape. The analysis was similar to how the flow of electrons through a wire circuit is calculated. In fact, electronic circuit theory formed a basis for the calculations.From their analysis, the authors identified several locations in North and South America that will be crucial for species movem
121、ent in a changing climate. Large movements are expected in the southeastern US, the Amazon region, and parts of Brazil. Some of the areas where migration is expected have undamaged biological regions. Others, in particular the southeastern US and Brazil, have pathways that are heavily impacted by hu
122、man activities, which may create a barrier to the migration routes.In the study, the team of scientists first identified what they call “climatically suitable” conditions for each of the species under a changing climate situation. They plotted routes for the species from areas that were projected to
123、 be unsuitable to these suitable areas. The routes were plotted so that they avoided the most heavily human-impacted regions. They then plotted the paths on a map for easy visualization.Some concrete and specific examples were provided. The authors have identified 14 biological regions and calculate
