48、之道。故选D。CRegardless of how famous they are, and despite the star treatment they receive, many celebrities make it a point to give back to charities. Some have even set up their own private foundations. Their widely publicised visits to troubled areas of the world help to raise awareness of issues suc
49、h as famine and poverty. According to Jane Cooper of Unicef UK, celebrities have a unique ability to reach huge numbers of people, many of whom might not otherwise be engaged in charitable causes. She pointed out that famous faces had played a significant role in raising funds in recent years, and t
50、heir energies had produced tangible results, such as enabling millions of children in poorer countries to attend school.But in spite of these successes there is evidence to suggest that celebrity endorsement (代言) may be overrated. In a survey of members of the public to find out if celebrity involve
51、ment would encourage people to donate, researchers found that the impact was not as great as previously thought. When shown a list of well-known organisations and famous people who represent them, over half of respondents were unable to match the celebrity with the cause. Whats more, three quarters
52、claimed that they didnt respond to celebrity endorsement in any way. The survey also showed that a few names did stand out as being associated with particular charities. But the presence of a celebrity in a campaign, was not a significant factor when it came to a decision to donate time or money. In
53、stead, the majority of people contribute because of personal connections in their lives and families which make a charity important to them.In another study aimed at young people, most participants cited a compelling (无法抗拒的) mission as their main motivation to give. The second most important incenti
54、ve was if a friend or peer recommended supporting a particular cause. Only two percent of respondents said they were motivated by celebrity endorsement. This seems to contradict the general assumption that teenagers are particularly influenced by famous people. One possible explanation is that there
55、 is a general fatigue (疲倦) with celebrity culture. There is also a suspicion that the stars are the one who benefit most when they offer to do charity work. Some critics have accused that celebrities might actually take attention away from issues by attracting more attention than the causes they rep
56、resent.So taking all these issues into account, is it time for charities to rethink their campaign strategies and look for alternative ways to reach new audiences? Whichever point of view you favour, there seems to be opportunities for more research into how charity campaigns might develop relations
57、hips with celebrities to maximise their potential. This in turn will open up more engagement, and better targeted campaigns-which can only benefit those who really matter the people and animals that are in need of assistance.27. What does the underlined word “tangible” in paragraph I probably mean?A
58、. Definite.B. Complicated.C. Limited.D. Temporary.28. According to the passage, most people contribute to charities because _.A. they gain benefit from the charitiesB. they are forced to finish a necessary taskC. they believe in the famous people they likeD. they are inspired by the people around th
59、em29. The third paragraph is mainly about _.A. what celebrities achieve in doing charitiesB. How young people react to celebrity cultureC. why young people are hardly influenced by celebritiesD. who is to blame for taking attention away from charities30. What is the authors attitude towards celebrit
60、y doing charities?A. Objective.B. Positive.C. Negative.D. Unclear.【答案】27. A 28. D 29. C 30. A【解析】【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要分析了名人做慈善的利与弊。【27题详解】词句猜测题。第一段划线词所在句“She pointed out that famous faces had played a significant role in raising funds in recent years, and their energies had produced tangible results, suc
61、h as enabling millions of children in poorer countries to attend school.(她指出，名人近年来在筹集资金方面发挥了重要作用，他们的精力产生了切实的成果，比如让贫困国家的数百万儿童上学)”中的“such as enabling millions of children in poorer countries to attend school”部分表明，名人们在慈善方面的努力取得了实在的成果，所以可以推测tangible意为“切实的，实在的”。A. Definite.确切的；B. Complicated.复杂的；C. Limit
62、ed.有限的；D. Temporary.暂时的。所以A选项和划线词词义最接近，B、C、D都不符合。故选A项。【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“Instead, the majority of people contribute because of personal connections in their lives and families which make a charity important to them.(相反，大多数人捐款是因为他们生活和家庭中的私人关系，这使得慈善对他们很重要)”可知，大多数人向慈善机构捐款是因为他们受到周围人的鼓舞。故选D项。【29题详解】主旨大意题
63、。根据第三段“Only two per cent of respondents said they were motivated by celebrity endorsement. This seems to contradict the general assumption that teenagers are particularly influenced by famous people.(只有2%的受访者说他们受到名人代言的激励。这似乎与一般的假设相矛盾，即青少年特别容易受到名人的影响)”可知，与一般的假设相反的是，青年人几乎不会受到名人的影响，余下内容“One possible ex
64、planation is thatThere is also a suspicion thatSome critics have accused that”则主要讲述了原因，所以第三段主要讲述青少年几乎不受名人影响的原因。故选C项。【30题详解】推理判断题。文章前面主要讲述了名人做慈善带来的切实的成果以及被夸大的现象，最后一段“So taking all these issues into account, is it time for charities to rethink their campaign strategies and look for alternative ways to
65、 reach new audiences?. This in turn will open up more engagement, and better targeted campaigns-which can only benefit those who really matter the people and animals that are in need of assistance.(因此，考虑到所有这些问题，慈善机构是否应该重新考虑他们的竞选策略，寻找其他途径来接触新的受众？这反过来又会促进更多的参与和更有针对性的运动这只会让真正重要的人受益那些需要援助的人和动物)”提出慈善机构应该
66、多方考虑，最终目的是使得真正需要的人或动物受益。所以作者是以客观的态度来分析名人做慈善这件事。A. Objective.客观的；B. Positive.积极的；C. Negative.消极的；D. Unclear.不清楚的。故选A项。DEffective monitoring of endangered species is key to their survival. Studying the movement, range and habits of wild animals is essential in order to ensure their habitat remains fre
67、e from poachers (偷猎者) and development. Traditional methods of monitoring wild animals, especially large ones, include radio-tagging. To do this, individual animals must at first be captured so that collars or tags can be fitted.One organisation that adopted this technique was WildTrack. In the late
68、1990s, the team was using radio-collars to monitor black rhino in Namibia. However, the team soon realised that the chemicals used to immobilize the rhino in order to fit the collars had a negative impact on female fertility. Not only that but a large proportion of the radio-collars failed within th
69、e first 6 months and had to be replaced. Moreover, as animals grew, the collars would tighten, irritating or even hurting the animal. The method was not only expensive, but it was also counterproductive, as it changed the rhinos behaviour, thus invalidating (使失效) the data collected. At the same time
70、, the team was working alongside local trackers. Animal tracking is one of the oldest human skills, and these experts had years of experience in identifying individual animals by their footprints. They could effectively create a true picture of individual rhinos activities without the use of any inv
71、asive techniques. Consequently, the team were interested to know whether the trackers knowledge could be successfully translated into an effective, computerised technique for monitoring animal movement.Within each species, each individual has its own unique foot characteristics, in the same way that
72、 humans have fingerprints. Thus, if an animal is sighted and identified just once, and the characteristics of its footprints properly photographed and measured, its footprint can be recognised whenever it is sighted again. If done repeatedly, conservationists can draw up a database of all, or at lea
73、st a significant proportion of the individuals within the population. After that conservationists can use it to identify an animal and its movements by its print. The data gathered can be used for a range of purposes, for example to monitor biodiversity. WildTrack is currently using footprint identi

75、ording to the type of ground it is walking on, moisture levels and the way it is moving. In order to account for these variations, it is necessary to collect several tracks from each individual, including impressions from all four feet, on a range of surfaces.31. Compared with radio-collars, traditi
76、onal animal tracking _.A. is less accurateB. costs more moneyC. has less side effectsD. depends more on computers32. According to the passage, the foot-print identification technology _.A. needs more data to run betterB. develops from radio-collarsC has not been put into practiceD. works under certa
77、in environment33. What does the passage imply?A. Technology holds the key to development.B. Traditional skills make better conservationists.C. Animal tracking sets a new trend in conservation.D. Creativity lies in the combination of the old and new.34. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To p
78、resent WildTracks extraordinary work.B. To provide a new way of monitoring animals.C. To compare two different methods of catching animals.D. To explain how to identify animals footprints effectively.【答案】31. C 32. A 33. D 34. B【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述为了保护濒危物种，人们采用的对野生动物的监测跟踪技术。【31题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“They
79、could effectively create a true picture of individual rhinos activities without the use of any invasive techniques.（他们可以在不使用任何侵入性技术的情况下，有效地描绘出犀牛个体活动的真实情况。）”可知，传统的动物追踪不会对动物使用侵入性技术，所以可以推断，它很少有副作用。A. is less accurate（不太准确）和文章内容“could effectively create a true picture”不相符；B. costs more money（花费更大）是radio
80、-collars的特点；D. depends more on computers（更多依赖电脑）文中没有提到。只有C. has less side effects（有很少的副作用）可以从文章中推断出来。故选C项。【32题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“If done repeatedly, conservationists can draw up a database of all, or at least a significant proportion of the individuals within the population. After that conservationists
81、can use it to identify an animal and its movements by its print. The data gathered can be used for a range of purposes, for example to monitor biodiversity.（如果重复这样做，自然资源保护主义者可以建立起一个数据库，包括种群中所有的，或者至少是种群中相当大比例的个体。之后，自然资源保护主义者可以用它来识别动物和它的运动印迹。收集到的数据可以用于多种目的，例如监测生物多样性。）”可以推断，足迹识别技术需要更多的数据才能更好地运行。故选A项。【3
82、3题详解】推理判断题。文章第一段和第二段前半部分主要讲述新技术radio-collars在动物监测上的作用和缺陷，故而引出了传统的动物追踪技术，第三段“Thus, if an animal is sighted and identified just once, and the characteristics of its footprints properly photographed and measured, its footprint can be recognised whenever it is sighted again（因此，如果一种动物只被看到和识别一次，并且正确地拍摄和测量
83、它的脚印的特征，那么无论何时再次被看到，它的脚印都可以被识别出来）”主要讲述动物足迹追踪技术的使用原则和人们对它的利用，文章最后一段讲述使用传统的动物足迹追踪技术也有挑战，所以我们可以看出，文章暗示要进行新旧技术的结合才能有所创新。故选D项。【34题详解】推理判断题。文章前两段主要讲述radio-collars在动物监测上的缺陷，并且引出了传统的动物追踪技术，接下来着重讲了动物脚印追踪技术的开发利用。所以文章的主要目的应该是介绍这种动物监测方法。B项“To provide a new way of monitoring animals.（提供一种监测动物的新方法。）”符合题意。故选B项。第二节
84、7选5（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，共 10 分） False Memories or Parallel (平行的) Realities?Here is a common situation: Youre talking with someone about an event, only to discover that you both remember things quite differently. Usually, youd put it down to a poor memory, but what if it wasnt just one person who remember
85、ed things differently? What if it was millions?In fact this isnt a “what if” situation. Its known as the Mandela Effect, and it was first noticed in 2009 by paranormal researcher Fiona Broome. Broome was chatting with people about the South African activist Nelson Mandela, and she commented how sad
86、it was that he had died in prison in the 1980s. _35_ Actually, hed been released in 1990, become president of South Africa, and died in 2013.Broome was so shocked at this that she started an investigation. _36_ People have memories of movies that never existed, and famous words that were never spoke
87、n. There is even a group who clearly recall seeing maps showing that New Zealand was northeast of Australia (its southeast ). So what in the world is going on?_37_ In each reality, history is shaped by different events, and the Mandela Effect occurs when some of us shift from one reality to another.
88、 Therefore, those who remember Nelson Mandela dying in the 1980s arent wrong. Theyre just remembering events from their original reality.More likely, however, is that the Mandela Effect has to do with how our brains store information. _38_ Many people remember Pikachus tail having a black tip on the
89、 end of it, when in fact it was always yellow. “Aha!” you cry. “Parallel realities!” Probably not. Consider instead that people often ignore unfamiliar details and transform information to make it more understandable. In the Pikachu example, his tail may not have a black tip, but his ears certainly
90、do. Thus, both his ears and tail are misremembered as having black tips. _39_All things considered, if youre stuck arguing win someone about whose version of events is correct, it may indeed be easier to agree that neither of you is wrong. You just come from different realities.A. Before we explain
91、lets look at an example.B. It turns out she wasnt the only one whod experienced this.C. If several people make these memory errors, the false memory gets stronger socially.D. The story of Nelson Mandela is not the only example of this type of false group memory.E. Some claim the Mandela Effect happe
92、ns because we live in one of many parallel realities.F. Many in her group agreed, while others mentioned that Nelson Mandela had not died in prison.G. As more incidents of the Mandela effect continue to occur, perhaps more research into the origins will tell us the causes.【答案】35. F 36. D 37. E 38. A
93、 39. C【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了曼德拉效应的发现以及相关研究和其产生的原因。【35题详解】上文“Broome was chatting with people about the South African activist Nelson Mandela, and she commented how sad it was that he had died in prison in the 1980s（布鲁姆和人们聊起了南非社会活动家纳尔逊曼德拉，她说曼德拉在20世纪80年代死于狱中是多么令人悲伤。）”说明在布鲁姆记忆中曼德拉80年代死于狱中，下文“Actually, he
94、d been released in 1990, become president of South Africa, and died in 2013.（实际上，他在1990年被释放，成为南非总统，并于2013年去世。）”说明事实上曼德拉并不像布鲁姆记忆中的那样死于狱中，F项“Many in her group agreed, while others mentioned that Nelson Mandela had not died in prison.（她所在小组的很多人都同意这一观点，而其他人则提到，纳尔逊曼德拉并没有死在监狱里。）”说明对曼德拉死亡时间这件事情的两种不同的观点，承上启
95、下，符合语境。故选F项。【36题详解】下文“People have memories of movies that never existed, and famous words that were never spoken. There is even a group who clearly recall seeing maps showing that New Zealand was northeast of Australia (its southeast ).（人们对从未存在过的电影有记忆，对从未说过的名言有记忆。甚至有一群人清楚地记得看到地图显示新西兰在澳大利亚的东北部(它在东南)。
96、）”介绍了一些其他的有关错误记忆的例子，D项“The story of Nelson Mandela is not the only example of this type of false group memory.（纳尔逊曼德拉的故事并不是这种错误群体记忆的唯一例子。）”引出下文，说明有关错误记忆的例子，符合语境，故选D项。【37题详解】上一段段末“So what in the world is going on?（那么到底发生了什么？）”以提问的方式引出下文对曼德拉效应产生原因的解释，下文“In each reality, history is shaped by different
97、events, and the Mandela Effect occurs when some of us shift from one reality to another.（在每个现实中，历史是由不同的事件塑造的，当我们中的一些人从一个现实转向另一个现实时，曼德拉效应就发生了。）”说明曼德勒效应产生可能是由于不同的现实，E项“Some claim the Mandela Effect happens because we live in one of many parallel realities.（一些人声称，曼德拉效应的出现是因为我们生活在许多平行的现实中。）”作为段首，承上启下，引出
98、“多个平行现实”这一概念，说明有些人认为的曼德拉效应产生的原因，和下文中“从一个现实转向另一个现实”相衔接，符合语境。故选E项。【38题详解】上文“More likely, however, is that the Mandela Effect has to do with how our brains store information.（然而，更有可能的是，曼德拉效应与我们大脑储存信息的方式有关。）”提出了另一种曼德拉效应产生的原因，下文“Many people remember Pikachus tail having a black tip on the end of it, when
99、 in fact it was always yellowProbably notIn the Pikachu example, his tail may not have a black tip, but his ears certainly do. Thus, both his ears and tail are misremembered as having black tips.（许多人都记得皮卡丘的尾巴末端有一个黑色的尖，但实际上它总是黄色的或许不是在皮卡丘的例子中，它的尾巴可能没有黑色的尖，但它的耳朵肯定有。因此，人们误以为它的耳朵和尾巴都是黑色的。）”以皮卡丘的例子说明曼德拉效应
100、产生的另一个原因可能是人们信息存储的问题，A项“Before we explain lets look at an example.（在解释之前，让我们看一个例子。）”承上启下，引出下文的例子。故选A项。【39题详解】上文“Many people remember Pikachus tail having a black tip on the end of it, when in fact it was always yellowThus, both his ears and tail are misremembered as having black tips.（许多人都记得皮卡丘的尾巴末端
101、有一个黑色的尖，但实际上它总是黄色的因此，人们误以为它的耳朵和尾巴都是黑色的。）”说明人们对皮卡丘形象的错误记忆是由于人们对信息的错误处理，C项“If several people make these memory errors, the false memory gets stronger socially.（如果一些人犯了这些记忆错误，错误的记忆就会在社会上变得更强。）”说明为什么很多人会有一个群体的错误记忆，承接上文，符合语境。故选C项。第三部分：书面表达（共两节，32 分）阅读下面短文，根据短文内容在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。A team of sci
102、entists has come up with a plan. They say could help rebuild the Arctic ice cap. The ice cap is a huge area of sea ice that covers most of the Arctic Ocean all year round.Usually, the sea ice gets thicker and spreads further each winter, but this hasnt happened for the past few years. Last month, th
103、e ice cap had shrunk to its smallest size since scientists began keeping records of it 38 years ago. The weather in the Arctic has been unusually warm this winter. Some days, temperatures have been 20 higher than is normal for this time of year. In March, the temperature was above 0 at least one day
104、.The Arctic ice cap is needed to be rebuilt because sea ice reflects heat and light from the sun back into space. With less ice, the ocean would absorb more heat. The Arctic would warm up even more quickly, and more ice would melt. Without sea ice, many animals would lose their natural habitats and
105、could become endangered. It could also affect the weather, with more storms and erosion along the coast.Dr. Steven Desch and a group of scientists from Arizona State University in the United States think they can help to build up Arctic sea ice again. They want to set up wind-powered pumps on the ex
106、isting sea ice. During the winter, the pumps would spread water from the ocean over the surface of the ice where it would freeze and form a new layer of ice. The scientists say that in 10 years, this could add an extra metre of ice to the ice cap.The plan would require about 10 million pumps and it
107、would be very expensive about $655 billion. Some other scientists are wondering if the pumps would actually work in severe Arctic conditions. They are also concerned about how the project might affect the environment.Dr. Desch said his team hoped their proposal would get more people interested in lo
108、oking for a solution to the problem of melting sea ice. He said the only plan people have right now is to try to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (排放) from cars and other man-made sources. He and his team dont think that will be enough to save the sea ice, so theyre going to work on their plan and ho

The Arctic ice cap plays an important role in protecting animal habitats and preventing natural disasters
111、. 41. Dr. Steven Desch and a group of scientists from Arizona State University in the United States think they can help to build up Arctic sea ice again and they want to set up wind-powered pumps on the existing sea ice. 42. Some scientists were worried about the project and Dr. Desch hoped more peo
112、ple could help improve it. From the first line of the last paragraph, we know that Dr. Desch said his team hoped their proposal would get more people interested in looking for a solution to the problem of melting sea ice. So the part of the statement “Dr. Desch hoped more people could help improve i
113、t” is false. 43. Firstly, we should save resources, such as water, electricity in our daily life. Secondly, we should plant more trees. Whats more, we should choose to ride a bike when we go out, instead of driving a car.【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一组科学家重建北极冰盖的计划。【40题详解】考查细节理解。根据第三段“Without sea ice, many a
