35、理”。故选G项。【12题详解】考查动词。句意：由于被锁在室内，无法骑自行车和朋友们出去玩，青少年们开始通过社交媒体和手机与朋友们进行交往。分析句子，划线前的to 为不定式的to,故划线处应该填动词表示目的。又因句意，被锁家中，与他人交往受限。所以青少年倾向于用手机和他们的朋友交往。故选J项。【13题详解】考查副词。句意：他们在网上所做的往往反映出，如果他们的行动能力在望子成龙时代没有那么大的限制，他们可能会做什么。分析句子，so 后加形容词或者副词译为“太”,而后面的limited是动词。因此此处应填副词。分析句意，青少年的活动受到望子成龙父母的极大限制。此处强调的是一种程度。故选F项。【14

37、句意：恐惧的父母没有帮助青少年制定讨论公共生活和与他人互动的潜在风险的策略，而是将注意力集中在跟踪、监控和阻止上。分析句子，and前面的两个动词tracking, monitoring 都用了doing形式。所以此处也应该补充一个同类型的词。分析句意，只有A适合，表示“跟踪，监控并且阻止（孩子们使用网络）”。故选A项。【17题详解】考查形容词。句意：帮助年轻人应对当代生活的关键不是更多的限制。分析句子，“应对_生活”，此处缺少形容词修饰“生活”。分析句意，应指“当代生活”。故选C项。【18题详解】考查副词。句意：最安全的社区是那种有着共同的兴趣并且随时关注街道的情况的地方。分析句子，划线后的t

38、ook为动词，故此需用副词来修饰。备用选项只剩下B项为副词，表示“共同地，集体地”符合句意。故选B项。【19题详解】考查名词。句意：安全并非来自让每个人都呆在室内，而是来自彼此守望的意愿。分析句子，划线前有冠词a，故可判断此处应填名词。又根据notbut 译为“不是而是”表示前后相反。综合分析，故选K项。【20题详解】考查形容词。句意：青少年需要在数字时时代自由的漫步，但论他们走到哪里，他们也需要知道有爱心的成年人在背后支持他们。分析句子，划线后的词性为名词，故此处需填形容词对其修饰。又因通篇讲孩子将自己沉浸在网络中，因此这里用与之相关的词digital 译为“数码的，数字的”符合句意。故选D

72、种差异很复杂。【36题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中For some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.”可知对有些人来说，音乐对他们说没有任何乐趣而言。大约4%的人口是科学家所说的“音盲”。由此可知，A项“听音乐对他们来说远非享受”符合对音盲的描述，故选A。【37题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中The difference is complex, and it doesnt involve defective hearing.

73、 Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well.可知两者的区别很复杂，并不涉及听力缺陷。音盲可以很好地理解其他非音乐的声音。由此可推知，“听力有缺陷”的人可能是指一个听力有障碍的人。故选C。【38题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”可知“我真希望我是在十七岁而不是七十岁的时候学会这么说的。”由此可知，Margaret表达了她的愿望，希望自己在音乐方面的问题能早点得到诊断。故选A。【39题

74、详解】主旨大意题。文章的第一段告诉读者大约4%的人音乐对于他们而言，没有任何乐趣可言，他们没有辨别与再现音调的能力；第二段讲述歌曲对于没有乐感的人来说听起来像噪音，以及由此给他们的生活带来的不便；第三段分析了原因，是因为他们的大脑与能欣赏音乐的人的大脑不同造成的，但这又不同于有听力障碍的人；最后一段以Margaret为例，说明他们的这种状况最终得以诊断。可知这篇文章主要讲的是有些人不能欣赏音乐。故选B。【点睛】文章主题和中心思想的阐述往往需要大量细节信息的支持，这些细节对于理解全文内容至关重要，同时也是归纳和概括文章中心思想的基础。命题人往往会要求考生根据不同的要求阅读文章，以获得某些特定的信

75、息，或准确地寻求所需的细节，并对细节进行直接或间接辨认和理解。文章细节的理解可以细化为：（1）一一对应型。（2）语言转述型。（3）语意理解型。（4）是非辨别型。（5）事实排序型。如第一小题属于是非辨别型，根据第一段中For some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.”可知对有些人来说，音乐对他们说没有任何乐趣而言。大约4%的人口是科学家所说的“音盲”。由此可知，B项“听音乐对他们来说远非享受”符合对音盲的描述，故选B。(B)D

The one who can use English to communicate.【答案】40. A 41. D 42. D【解析】本文是一则广告，其内容是招聘志愿者来照顾有学习障碍的人。【40题详解】

82、A猜测词义。根据make it的本意“做到，成功”及结合文章前两句话“Do you want to get home from work knowing you have made a real difference in someones life？If yes, dont care about sex or age! Come and join us, then youll make it! ”你想工作后回家时知道你在别人的生活中与众不同了吗？如果是的就不要在乎性别或年龄，来加入我们，然后你会做到，因此你的工作会使他人的生活更有意义，故选A【41题详解】D细节理解题。根据倒数第二段末句“B

83、ut your primary concern is to let them know they are valued。”可知这个组织的责任是帮助学习障碍的人意识到自己的重要性。所以答案为D。【42题详解】B细节理解。根据文章末句“Previous care-related experience will be a great advantage for you”可知以前做过相似工作的人会被优先选择。答案为B。(C)About the time that schools and others quite reasonably became interested in seeing to it

Through the past few decades such testing has gone out of fashion and many communities have indeed forbidden it.However, paradoxically(自相矛盾的), jus

85、t recently a group of black parents filed a lawsuit (诉讼) in California claiming that the states ban on IQ testing discriminates(歧视) against their children by denying them the opportunity to take the test. (They believe, correctly, that IQ tests are a valid method of evaluating (评估) children for spec

86、ial education classes.) The judge, therefore, reversed, at least partially his original decision.And so the argument goes on and on. Does it benefit or harm children from minority groups to have their intelligence tested? We have always been on the side of permitting, even promoting such testing. If

87、 a child of any color or group is doing poorly in school it seems to us very important to know whether it is because he or she is of low intelligence, or whether some other factor is the cause.What school and family can do to improve poor performance is influenced by its cause. It is not discriminat

The same fluctuation (起伏) back and forth occurs in areas other than intelligence. Thirty years or

89、 so ago, for instance, white families were encouraged to adopt black children. It was considered discriminative not to do so.And then the style changed and this cross-racial adopting became generally unpopular, and social agencies felt that black children should go to black families only. It is hard

90、 to say what are the best procedures. But surely good will on the part of all of us is needed.As to intelligence, in our opinion, the more we know about any childs intellectual level, the better for the child in question.43.

94、ocial surroundings are vital to the healthy growth of childrenC. intelligence testing also applies to non-academic areasD. American opinion can shift when it comes to sensitive issues【答案】43. B 44. D 45. A 46. D【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文说明了不同的人对于对孩子进行智力测验的不同的态度，有的赞成，有的反对。这个争论持续反复，对于这样的敏感话题，法律允许我们做的事情也是时不时改变。

95、作者认为，对于智力而言，我们对孩子智力水平了解的越多，对问题中的孩子越好。【43题详解】细节理解题。由题干中的“in the past few decades”可以将本题答案定位在第二自然段。第二段总共两句话，使用的是原因结果的逻辑关系。所以再过去的几十年，智力测验被废除的原因是“Some thought it was unfair to minority children.（一些人认为智力测验对少数群体的孩子是不公平的）”。故选B。【44题详解】推理判断题。由第四段中的“We have always been on the side of permitting, even promoting

96、 such testing.”可知，我们一直都支持智力测验的，也暗示了作者对智力测验支持的态度。再有本段中的举例“如果一个少数群体中的孩子学业成绩很差，知道是智力问题还是其它问题显得尤为重要”以及第五段内容“学校和家长能为改善差的表现做些什么取决于原因。所以评估学生的体能或智力不是歧视。”可知，作者认为智力测验能帮助家长了解孩子，做出更适合的决定。故选D。【45题详解】推理判断题。由第七段中的“It is hard to say what are the best procedures.”可知，作者认为什么样的程序是最好的程序很难说，也就是说这个没有定论。故选A。【46题详解】推理判断题。由于

97、举例出现在第六段最后两句话和第七段，所以我们在第六段句首找例子所要证明的中心。由第六段前两句“不幸的是，智力测验像是一个敏感话题，法律允许我们做什么不时地改变。不仅仅是智力，一样的起伏也发生在其它领域。”所以举例所要证明的中心就是这种观点的起伏在其它敏感领域也会出现。且选项D中的shift与文中30年前30年后对收养态度的转变呼应，故选D。【点睛】推理判断题中有一种题型是考查例子证明中心的题目。例如本题中的第四题。这种题目解题时切记花费很大心思分析例子的内容，而是要先根据文章类型，分析文章的篇章结构，看看这个例子是证明哪个观点的，一般都是段落或者文章的中心。例如本题中第四题详解中的分析。这类题

Use your own words as far as possible.Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform

110、, whether it is the uniform of a lift operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian clothes. People have become condition

111、ed to expect higher quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform is likely to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a h

They are often more comfortable and more lasing than civilian clothes.Primary fact among the argument against uniforms is their lack of variety and the loss of individuali

113、ty experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they are likely to think, speak, and act similarly on the job at least.Uniforms also give rise

114、 to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.【答案】Amer

117、form of a five-star general.“美国人对他们的多样性和个性感到自豪，但他们对制服的喜爱和尊重比什么都少，无论是电梯操作员的制服还是五星上将的制服。”可知，美国人崇尚多样化和个人至上的制服。根据第二段中People have become conditioned to expect higher quality from a man who wears a uniform.“人们已经习惯于期望穿着制服的人具有更高的品质。”可知，他们倾向于认为穿制服的男人看起来很专业，并暗示着高质量的工作。根据第三段第一句Uniforms also have many practical

118、 good points.“制服也有很多实用的优点。”根据第四段中Primary fact among the argument against uniforms is their lack of variety and the loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them.“在反对制服的争论中，最主要的事实是必须穿制服的人会感到制服缺乏多样性和失去个性。”和最后一段第一句Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems.“制服也带来了一些实际问题。”可知，尽管制
