This time she was close enough and she reached out to touch his foot.(她又走了两步。这次她离他够近了，伸手去摸他的脚)”可推断出，在遇到未知的时候，玛戈能冷静的上去探索，并且大胆的去触碰。由此推知，她是冷静而又勇敢的。故选D项。(B)Acting & Musical TheaterThe Summer ActingMusical Theater program, which starts on Friday, July 3 and ends on Thursday, July 23,

81、teC. an online introduction of yourselfD. a suitable monologue in one minute【答案】60. C 61. B 62. A【解析】【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章通过介绍Acting&Musical Theate的相关情况，来吸引更多爱好表演的学生参加该节目。【60题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The Summer Acting&Musical Theater program, which starts on Friday, July 3 and ends on Thursday, July 23, is created
82、 for talented students who have been inspired by musical theater. (暑期表演和音乐剧节目将于7月3日、周五开始，7月23日、周四结束。该课程专为受音乐剧启发的优秀学生而设。)”可知该节目从7月3日开始到7月23日结束，持续3个星期；故选C项。【61题详解】词义猜测题。根据文章第四段“Classes aim to improve your command of body, mind and voice. Students will take a trip to see at least one professional produ
83、ction with program teachers. (课程旨在提高你对身体、思想和声音的运用能力。学生将与节目老师一起去看至少一部专业表演。)”因为暑期表演和音乐剧节目都属于表演节目，是供人观看的，故推知本处表述的是学生和节目老师一起去看至少一部专业表演，故推知划线单词production的意思是“表演”；故选B项。【62题详解】细节理解题。根据标题“Auditions should include the following video materials:”项下内容“You should be the only person shown in the audition (你应该是唯一
84、出现在试演中的人)”可知只能自己一个人参与试演，不可以和搭档一起表演，故A项不包括在内；而由标题“Auditions should include the following video materials:”项下内容“One short dance part (一个小段舞蹈)”、“A personal statement regarding your background and training, experience in performances, and personal goals in theater (一份关于你的背景、训练、表演经验和在剧作的个人目标的个人陈述)”、“One
85、age-suitable monologue (一段与年龄相匹配的独白)”和“Each part of the audition should be about one minute in length (试演的每个部分都应该有一分钟左右的时间)”可知B、C、D项均有提及；故选A项。(C)The other night I had dinner with my friend Kim, who in midlife is trying to change her career. She has spent decades as a successful photographer, but she
86、 knows its time to do something different. What, however, is she qualified to do, besides photography? “Im good at parties,” she told me with a shrug. “And parallel parking.” We refilled our wineglasses and laughed really hard as we dreamed up the various careers in which that particular combination
87、 might be useful.Heres a humbling exercise: Ask yourself what youre good at, aside from the skills you use at work. After my conversation with Kim, I put this question to a handful of friends and got responses ranging from “finding restaurants for people” to “spotting terrific old chairs.” The more
88、I think about my own answer to this question, the more confused I seem to get.A year ago this month I left a job, and a career, that brought me great satisfaction for more than two decades. Can serendipity(意外惊喜)be a strategy? It certainly worked for me. I happened to find a field in which my skills
89、and the requirements of the job were a Venn diagram (韦恩图) with near total overlap. Like most of my friends, I spent my 20s and 30s marching determinedly along my given path, working hard, with purpose, and by the time I reached my 40s, I was able to enjoy the fruits of my labor. Isnt that the way th
90、e American Dream goes?Heres what you learn when you wake up from that dream: hubris (自负) is the unpleasant by-product of success. If you are really good at your job for a long enough time, you begin to believe that you can be good at any job and therefore can easily jump from one thing to another, s
91、witching horses in midstream. Examples of this mistaken thinking are everywhere, from the harmlessly frivolous (Dancing With the Stars) to the dangerously serious (the current presidency). As it turns out, humility is its own kind of skill; developing it hurts, but falling on your face hurts more.Ov
92、er the years a number of 20-somethings have come to me for advice, which I have dutifully given: Work hard, meet lots of people, say yes to many things. Dont complain, put a smile on your face, and remind yourself that studying Foucault for four years in college might not prove to be particularly re
93、levant in the working world. Swallow your pride and ask a lot of questions.What I should be telling the young and ambitious is this: being really good at one thing is fantastic until it isnt. The day may come, in my experience, will come, when you know you want to do, want to be, something else. For
94、 example, 20-somethings, one day you might want to appear on Dancing With the Stars. Im not sure if Sean Spicer is a fool or a genius for turning down this opportunity for his first post-Administration performance. Maybe hes not aware that Apolo Ohno was placed first on the show.Or maybe youll want
95、to run for President. Never mind that it was a PresidentAbraham Lincolnwho popularized the warning about switching horses in midstream. If you are a real estate tycoon and loud-mouthed TV star who made a name for yourself with a combination of instinct, bravado(虚张声势)and riding the wave of chaos you
96、create everywhere you go, then who cares what Abe Lincoln said? The White House is the logical next career step.Or, 20-somethings, maybe youll do both! At the same time! After all, doesnt todays White House sort of resemble Dancing With the Stars, if you squint(眯眼)hard and use your imagination? With
97、 experts and amateurs working together, trying to make it all look graceful while the audience alternatively laughs and cries?So, folks, an assignment: Ask yourself what youre good at. As for me, aside from what I most recently did for a livingwriting, editing, managing people and showing up to meet

So I have entered this next phase of my life with gratitude (for what Ive accomplished), humility (about all that I dont know) and fear (see random greatest strengths
99、). I used to be filled with optimism: if Donald Trump could become President, anything seemed possible. But with each passing month, and each new failure, my optimism dims. If he wanted to try something new, wouldnt Dancing With the Stars have been a wiser choice?63. Which of the following statement
100、s can be inferred from the passage?A. Only failure contributes to the development of ones humility.B. Donald Trump is the very person for the US presidency.C. Career success encourages overestimate of oneself.D. College education is a must for a successful career.64. What is the writers attitude tow
101、ards job hopping?A. Check whether ones skill meets the requirements of the potential new job.B. Seize each and every random opportunity that comes along.C. Be optimistic about the potential new job and anything is possible.D. Job hopping is such a severe danger as to be avoided.65. The writers impli
102、cit comment on the White House could be _.A. It functions ideally as the political center of the United States.B. It is the logical next career step for a wealthy and famous person.C. It is as attractive and interesting as Dancing with the Stars.D. It is a stage where officials dont know how to run
103、the country.66. What could be implied by the underlined “it isnt”?A. What one is really good at disappears.B. One feels no more fantastic about the job.C. Ones ambition weakens as he or she ages.D. One tries to change to a new job.【答案】63. C 64. A 65. D 66. B【解析】【导语】这是一篇议论文。作者就除了在工作中使用的技能外，我们擅长的东西提出了
104、自己的看法和见解。强调要努力地工作，结识很多人，对很多事情说“是”。不要抱怨，要在脸上露出微笑，提醒自己。以感激，谦卑和畏惧的心态来进入人生的下一个阶段。【63题详解】推理判断题。由文章第四段“If you are really good at your job for a long enough time, you begin to believe that you can be good at any job and therefore can easily jump from one thing to another, switching horses in midstream. (如果
105、你真的很擅长你的工作足够长一段时间，你就会开始相信你可以胜任任何工作，因此你可以很容易地从一件事跳到另一件事，中途换马。)”可知，职业的成功会让人们高估自己。故选C项。【64题详解】推理判断题。由文章第三段“I happened to find a field in which my skills and the requirements of the job were a Venn diagram (韦恩图) with near total overlap. Like most of my friends, I spent my 20s and 30s marching determined
106、ly along my given path, working hard, with purpose, and by the time I reached my 40s, I was able to enjoy the fruits of my labor. (我碰巧发现一个领域，我的技能和工作要求是一个几乎完全重叠的维恩图。和我的大多数朋友一样，我在20多岁和30多岁的时候，坚定地沿着既定的道路前进，努力工作，有目标，到了40多岁，我已经能够享受我的劳动成果了。)”可知，作者认为，跳槽时需要考虑自己的技能是否符合潜在的工作。故选A项。【65题详解】推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段“At the
107、same time! After all, doesnt todays White House sort of resemble Dancing With the Stars, if you squint(眯眼)hard and use your imagination? With experts and amateurs working together, trying to make it all look graceful while the audience alternatively laughs and cries?(同时毕竟，如果你眯起眼睛使出想象力，今天的白宫不就有点像与星星共
108、舞吗？有专家和业余爱好者一起工作，试图让一切看起来优雅，而观众却在笑和哭？)”可知，作者以与星星共舞为例，说明专家预期的舞台效果和实际观众感受的不一样，暗示白宫也一样，不知道如何正常的运转。故选D项。【66题详解】推理判断题。由文章倒数第四段“What I should be telling the young and ambitious is this: being really good at one thing is fantastic until it isnt. The day may come, in my experience, will come, when you know
109、you want to do, want to be, something else.(我应该告诉年轻人和有抱负的人：在一件事上做得真的很好，直到 。根据我的经验，当你知道你想做什么、想成为什么、做什么的时候，总有一天会到来。)”可知，文章后面讲了总有一天你会发现你想做什么，但在这之前你应该坚持做好一件事，直到你不再对这件事情感兴趣。故选B项。Section CDirections: Read the following passages. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can
110、 be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.We are a nation of unhealthy sleepers. Ten percent of us are insomniacs, many more wake up constantly throughout the night, and a growing number of us are simply too obsessed with smartphones to put them down and go to bed.But
111、whats the worst kind of sleep for your health: the kind where you keep a normal bedtime but are constantly up every few hours, or the kind where you go to bed late and only get a few hours of shut-eye. _67_.Reporting in the journal Sleep, lead author Patrick Finan, an assistant professor at the John

But on the next nights, the interrupte
115、d sleepers continued to report declining positive feelings while the short sleepers did not_69_This drop in positive mood occurred regardless of what the participants reported on the negative scale. So having disrupted sleep, says Finan, may have a stronger effect on dampening positive mood than it
116、does on increasing negative emotions.When he looked at the brain patterns of the two disrupted sleep groups, he found that those who woke up repeatedly showed less slow wave sleep, or the deep sleep that is normally linked to feeling restored and rested, than those getting the same amount of sleep b

It was associated with a striking drop in positive mood, very different than in the other group.【答案】67. D 68. C 69. B 70. F【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者指出当前本国睡眠问题严重，科研人员似乎找到了问题的原因所
119、在，故本文主要介绍研究实验。【67题详解】上文“We are a nation of unhealthy sleepers. (我们是一个睡眠不健康的国家)”以及“But whats the worst kind of sleep for your health:(但是什么样的睡眠对你的健康最有害:)”说明空格前在陈述问题；下文“Reporting in the journal Sleep, lead author Patrick Finan, an assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine,
120、and his colleagues conducted one of the first studies comparing the two types of sleepinterrupted sleep and abbreviated sleepin a group of 62 healthy men and women who were good sleepers.(第一作者、约翰霍普金斯大学医学院助理教授帕特里克菲南和他的同事在睡眠杂志上发表了报告，他们在一组62名睡眠良好的健康男女中进行了第一批比较两种睡眠中断睡眠和缩短睡眠的研究)”说明有研究人员正在研究此问题，旨在找到病症原因。故
121、可推测空格处承前启下，指出科学家似乎找到了我们睡眠问题的答案。选项D“Scientists might finally have an answer.(科学家们也许终于有了答案)”符合语境。故选D项。【68题详解】上文“The participants spent three days and nights in a sleep lab and answered questions about their mood every evening before dozing off.(参与者在睡眠实验室度过了三天三夜，每天晚上睡前回答关于他们情绪的问题)”以及“A third were rando

123、许整夜不间断地睡觉)”正好谈论的就是剩下的三分之一参与者作为对照组的安排，符合语境。故选C项。【69题详解】上文“But on the next nights, the interrupted sleepers continued to report declining positive feelings while the short sleepers did not(但在接下来的晚上，睡眠中断的人继续报告积极情绪下降，而睡眠不足的人则没有)”可知，睡眠不足的人在接下来的晚上没有出现积极情绪下降的情况；选项B“They stayed at about the same level they
124、had reported after the first night.(他们保持在第一晚后报告的水平)”也指出这批参与者保持原样，未呈现下降趋势，可填于破折号后的第三空上解释上文的内容。故选B项。【70题详解】上文“We saw a drop in slow wave sleep large and sudden,(我们看到慢波睡眠突然大幅下降)”可知科研人员此处话未说完，后文肯定还是接着这突然大幅下降慢波睡眠，选项F“It was associated with a striking drop in positive mood, very different than in the othe
125、r group.(这与积极情绪的显著下降有关，与另一组有很大不同)”中包含代词it，即之前文提到的“慢波睡眠突然大幅下降”符合语境。故选F项。IV. Summary Writing (10分)Directions: Read the following passage.

Translation (第1-2句，每句3分；第3句，4分；第4句5分；共15分)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72. 记着每餐饭前30分钟吃药。(take) （汉译英）【答案】Remember to take the pill/medicine 30 minutes before every meal.【解析】【详解】考查祈使句、
139、不定式作宾语和固定短语。根据句意可知，该句表示对别人的叮嘱，应用祈使句，且是肯定句式。祈使句的肯定句构成为：实义动词原形+其他，或Be+形容词/名词，或Let+宾语+动词原形+其他。表强调时，还可借助于助动词do，构成Do+动词原形+其他的结构。根据汉语提示，“记着”的英文表达为remember，后接动词作宾语时，可接不定式remember to do，表示“记得要做某事”。 “吃药”的英文表达为短语take the pill/medicine，该句表示“记得要去吃药”，故用不定式来作remember的宾语。“每餐饭前30分钟”的英文表达为30 minutes before every mea
140、l。故答案为Remember to take the pill/medicine 30 minutes before every meal.73. 既然你被自己心仪的学校录取了，何不请每个人吃一个冰淇淋？(treat) (汉译英)【答案】Since/Now that you have been admitted into/to your dream/ideal university, why not treat everyone to an ice-cream?【解析】【详解】考查固定句型、状语从句和时态语态。此处为since或now that引导的原因状语从句，表示“被录取”短语为be ad

142、下等。(inferior) （汉译英）【答案】It didnt occur to me that due to the worsening of the local environment, the soybeans were inferior in both quality and size.【解析】【详解】考查动词、名词和固定句型。分析句子可知，这里时态应用一般过去时，表示“我没想到”应用It didnt occur to me that，为固定句型；表示“由于当地的环境日趋恶化”应用介词短语due to the worsening of the local environment；表示“
143、这批大豆无论在质量和大小上都属于下等”应用句子the soybeans were inferior in both quality and size。故翻译为It didnt occur to me that due to the worsening of the local environment, the soybeans were inferior in both quality and size。75. 无论手头事情多么重要或微不足道，我们都应该谨慎对待我们做的每一个决定，因为失之毫厘，差以千里。(difference) (汉译英)【答案】No matter how significa

145、 will make a great difference.【解析】【详解】考查时态、让步状语从句，形容词短语、介词短语、定语从句和原因状语从句。陈述客观现象，谓语动词用一般现在时。“无论多么或”表达为No matter how.or.或者however.or.，引导让步状语从句，how或however后接形容词；“手头的事情”表达为 the matter at hand，介词短语at hand为后置定语，修饰让步状语从句的主语the matter；“重要”表达为形容词significant，“微不足道”表达为形容词insignificant，都作为让步状语从句的表语。“谨慎对待”表达为形容词
146、短语be cautious about，后接宾语“每一个决定”，可表达为名词every resolution；“我们做的”表达为we make，修饰every resolution，为限制性定语从句，先行词为物，且在从句中作宾语，关系代词that，也可省略，从句中用一般现在时，表经常性。“因为”表达为连接词because，引导原因状语从句；“失之毫厘，差以千里”，根据所给词difference，表达为one false step will make a great difference”，叙述一般真理可用情态动词will，后接动词短语make adifference，作宾语。结合其他汉语提示，
147、故翻译为：No matter how significant or insignificant the matter at hand is, we should be cautious about every resolution (that) we make, becasue one false step will make a great difference./However significant or insignificant the matter at hand is, we should be cautious about every resolution (that) we
