29、 of a West Africa country on the Atlantic coast. The word Ghana actually means “ warrior-king”. It was a title given to the rulers of the Soninke people who called their homeland Wagadu. Wagadu was located at the edge of the Sahara Desert, far from the ocean.The Soninke people were highly skilled in
30、 metal working. For many years they were the only people in the region who knew how to forge(锻造) iron. This skill helped them become powerful. Metal tools made their farms more productive. One farmer could grow enough food for many people. This left more people free to follow other occupations. Many
31、 men became soldiers. Using metal swords and spears, they easily conquered competitors whose weapons were made of wood or stone.As Wagadu grew in size and power, it became an important center of trade. The regions around it had a variety of resources. The most important of these were gold and salt.
32、Gold came from secret locations in the south. There was so much gold that the Ghana king had to control the supply carefully. Otherwise, it might become too common and lose its value.Salt, on the other hand, was very scarce. Because people need salt to live, it was literally worth its weight in gold
33、. Most of the salt came from the Taghaza mines in the Sahara Desert. Traders bringing salt through Wagadu had to pay a large tax in gold. The gold went to the king,who used it to keep the army and the government strong. Wagadu had so much gold that the first Arbic writer to write about it called it
34、the Land of Gold.The people of Wagadu had no written language until the Arabs came. The earliest accounts of life in Wagadu were written by Arabs. They called the kingdom Biland Ghana, “the land of the warrior-king”. This was shortened to Ghana. That is why the first great West African kingdom is ca
35、lled Ghana rather than Wagadu.31. What did the word Ghana originally refer to?A. The people of Wagadu. B. A ruler of the Soninke people.C. A country south of the Sahara Desert. D. A country on the Atlantic coast of Africa.32. According to the text, Ghana king controlled the gold supply in order to_.
36、A.Keep its value B.ensure its quality C.Protect its source D.exchange for cheaper salt33. What does the underlined word “scarce” in paragraph 4 mean?A. ValuableB. CommonC. Rare D. Expensive34. What is the last paragraph about?A. The wisdom of Arabs. B. The influence of Arabs.C. The source of the Lan

74、题干中的定位词去寻找相关信息)21.A 事实细节题 根据第一则招聘广告 Assistant professor in Musical Theatre Dance中的9-month assistant professor 可知答案。22.C 事实细节题 根据题干提示可知，本题涉及的是第二则招聘广告。由这一部分第三局Significant professional experience is required可知，若想成为戏剧和舞蹈系的教授，申请人需要具备丰富的专业经验。23.B 事实细节题 根据体感中的technical director提示可知本题涉及第三则招聘广告，从这部分第二段第一句话Pl
75、ease email materials to john.belldesales.edu可知B项正确。24.D事实细节题 在介绍第四份工作时提到了Qualifications for the position include.excellent interpersonal and communication skills, 由此可知答案。25.A 事实细节题 在介绍这四份工作时，都提高了需要工作经验，因此A项正确B本篇是一篇说明文，介绍了KNFB Reader这款应用程序。该应用程序能够将影音文字转化为声音，为盲文的生活提供极大便利，增强他们的生活独立性。26.D 事实细节题 根据第一段中的I
76、t can help users listen to an audio read-back-他和sound-of printed material及第三段中的read printed materials out loud可知，KNFB Reader应用程序可以大声播放用户通过相机所摄范围内的内容，即盲人可以通过使用该应用程序读书。27.B 事实细节题 根据第四段中的It cost $50,000可知，第一台阅读机器非常贵。28.B推理判断题 根据第五段中的Blind people say.greater independence可知盲人用户认为这一程序第他们很有帮助。29.D 事实细节题。 根
77、据最后一段中的He adds that the ability to gain information quickly with something that fits in your pocket will be, what he calls, “a game changer”（他补充说，用口袋里的东西迅速获取信息的能力，他称之为”改变游戏规则的能力”）可知，Bryan Bashin认为该应用程序能够帮助他快速获取信息。30.C 主旨大意题 本文主要介绍了KNFB Reader这款应用程序。KNFB Reader程序呢能够将内容同步转化成声音，帮助盲人用耳朵“看”世界。C本文是一篇说明文。文
78、章主要介绍了非洲国家加纳的发展历史及其名字的由来。31.B 事实细节题 由第一段中的The word Ghana actually means “ warrior-king”. It was a title given to the rulers of the Soninke people who called their homeland Wagadu. （加纳这个词实际上是”勇士之王”的意思。 这是给索宁克人的统治者的头衔，他们称他们的祖国为瓦格杜。）即知答案。32.A 事实细节题 由第三段中的最有一句“There was so much gold that the Ghana king
79、had to control the supply carefully. Otherwise, it might become too common and lose its value.”（黄金太多了，加纳国王不得不小心控制供应。 否则，它可能会变得太普通，失去它的价值。）33.C 词义猜测题 根据下文 it was literally worth its weight in gold以及通过Wagadu的人需要对盐缴纳重税可看出，盐在当时很稀缺。还可以从上一段讲到黄金so much.而盐 on the other hand这些词可以看出，盐应该是rare(稀少)34.B 段落大意题 由最后
80、一段可知，阿拉伯人给Wagadu创造了书面文字，并将其名字改为加纳，因为这段主要是讲述阿拉伯人对加纳的影响。35.D推理判断题 本文主要介绍了非洲国家加纳的发展史，因此最有可能出现在介绍古代非洲国家的章节中。七选五：本文说明了人的胃会感到饥饿，实际上，思维也会饥饿。只有通过阅读，才能让大脑充实，从而取得进步。36题:根据 “Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that?” 这里提到吃饭，需要靠吃饭解决的饥饿,显而易见是身体上的饥饿就是胃会感到的饥饿，空格后面 “，because you keep it busy thinking about
81、 your friends or favorite stars.”和 “When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop.”该段后面多次提到thinking和mind 与大脑和思维有关的概念。因为是首段，作者通过熟悉、具体的概念过渡到本文接下来要讨论的概念，空格这里需要选一个承上启下有过渡作用的句子，只有C“正如你的胃一样，大脑也会饥饿。”提到胃和大脑都会饥饿，故选C。 37题:上一段引出了话题，即大脑和思维会饥饿，接下来自然会讨论应该怎样解决大脑的饥饿问题，再加上空格后面“Why reading but not
82、watching TV?”这里提到“为什么是阅读而不是看电视”可知这里在讨论，思维的饥荒可以通过广泛的阅读来满足，故选E。38题:上段提到解决大脑和思维饥饿的方法是阅读，接下来自然也应该会讨论为什么要通过阅读，即会讨论阅读的好处。再结合空格后面的“Now this seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas.”可知然后，书中有趣的部分就会像种子一样贮存在你的脑海里，生根，故选A。39题: 上一段讨论了阅读的好处的一个方面即creativity，上段最后一句“If it is used many times, the same see
83、d can give you great help to relate a lot of things which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!”可知，而在这一段的第一句“This is nothing but creativity”也对上一段的内容做了总结，即上一段讨论的是creativity。那这一段又将继续讨论阅读的另一个好处。由“never run out of the right words.”“绝对不会词穷”这句话可知，阅读的另一个好处是扩大词汇量。故选G。40题:最后段总结，就是号召大家广泛阅读。根
84、据“Go and get a book!”这是一个祈使句，即语气很强烈地让大家赶紧拿起书开始阅读，所以这里你还在等什么？符合语境和作者说话的语气。故选D。完型：【答案解析】【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议类文章。作者的小型货车承载了太多的回忆。由于时间太长，作者不得已去找一个更新、更小、更经济的替代品(车)。41. B 【解析】句意：这是一个重要的日子，但我们不知道它将如何影响(shape)我们的生活。shape“形成；塑造，使成形”，符合语境42. C 【解析】句意：我们知道这表明我们不够酷。但我们已经变成了开小型货车的人。此处意思是“也许小型货车看起来并不酷”；43. D 【解析】此处根据上
85、下文内容的表述可知，表示的是“这辆小型货车与太多的回忆相连/承载了太多的回忆(memories)”。44. B 【解析】路途中大家“畅所欲言”，听着卡式磁带机里播放的经典摇滚。这里是对过去美好回忆的描述。conversation意为“谈话”，符合语境。45. 45. A. 【解析】解析见上一题。这里指的是“卡式磁带机播放着经典摇滚”，play意为“播放”，符合语境含义。46.
