11、nding over $9 billion yearly to students since 2010. Similar conditions exist in Africa and South America.Several factors account for high student loan debt. One is that employers everywhere have increased their demands for skilled workers, making higher education a requirement for many jobs. The st
12、udents, however, after graduation, often find that their countrys economy is not strong enough to support their financial needs, so their ability to pay back the loan becomes a problem.To solve the problem, many countries are seeking their ways. Australia has developed a system where students do not
13、 have to pay anything back until they are earning at least $40,000 a year.

19、析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了学生债务成全球性问题，各国都在寻求解决方案。【详解】1.细节理解题。由倒数第三段“They found that, overall, sudden debt relief greatly improved the borrowers lives. Not only did they have more money, but they were more likely to move to a new area and seek better paying work.”（他们发现，总的来说，突然的债务减免极大地改善了借款人的生活。他们不仅可以获得更多的钱，而且更有可
20、能搬到一个新的地区，寻找更高收入的工作。）所以债务减免肯定会给借款人带来一些好处。故选A项。2.推理判断题。根据第五段中“Yet the professors research doesnt include what might happen to financial institutions or the overall economy if debt were totally forgiven. It only looks at how debt forgiveness would help the borrowers. They warn of some other possible n
21、egative effects”.（他们的研究不包括如果完全免除债务，金融机构或整个经济可能会发生什么。它只着眼于债务免除将如何帮助借款人。他们警告说，还有其他一些可能的负面影响。）由此判断出，教授们对债务免除的态度是谨慎的。故选D项。3.主旨大意题。由第一段“Student loan (贷款) debt has become a worldwide problem.”（学生贷款债务已经成为一个世界性的问题。）由第三段“To solve the problem, many countries are seeking their ways.”为了解决这个问题，许多国家都在寻找解决方案。所以短文主
22、要是关于不断增长的全球学生债务促使各国寻找解决方案。故选B项。BLike a tired marriage, the relationship between libraries and publishers has long been dull. E- books, however, are causing heartache. Libraries know they need digital wares, but many publishers are too cautious about piracy(盗版) and lost sales to co-operate. Among the

Many were cheered by a recent Pew surveywhich found that more than half of Americans with library cards say they prefer to buy their e-books.So publishers keep adjusting their lending arrangements in sear
29、ch of the right balance.Random House raised its licensing prices earlier this year, and Harper Collins limits libraries to lending its titles 26 times.4.

What is the best title for the text?A. The Hopeful Future of Publishing BusinessB. The Uncertain Economics of Lending
33、 E-booksC. The Dull Relationship between Libraries and PublishersD. The Close Cooperation between OverDrive and Amazon【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. B【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了电子借阅经济的不确定性。【4题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中的“but many publishers are too cautious about piracy(盗版)and lost sales to co-operate.”可知，大多数出版商对盗版和销售损失过于谨慎，不愿与图书馆
34、合作，故B项正确。【5题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Electronic borrowing is awfully convenient. Unlike printed books, which must be checked out and returned to a physical library miles from where you live， book files can be downloaded at home.”可知，电子借阅非常方便，因此推断，出版商担心人们会转向图书借阅是因为图书销售可能会因为方便的电子借阅而急剧下降，故D项正确。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段
35、中的“Late last year Amazon introduced its Kindle Owners Lending Library, which lets its best customers borrow free one of thousands of popular books each month.”可知，去年晚些时候，亚马逊推出了Kindle用户借阅图书馆，让最优秀的客户每月免费借阅数千本畅销书中的一本，由此可知，亚马逊正在采取措施来赢得更多的客户，故A项正确。【7题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文由出版商和图书馆的关系入手，介绍了虽然电子借阅很方便，但大多数出版商不愿与
36、图书馆合作，拒绝授予图书馆电子书的许可，使电子借阅经济难以预料，也就是介绍了电子借阅经济的不确定性，故B项正确。CWhen I was 16years old and in foster care （非亲代养）in Tennessee，people told me I was unadoptableBut I desperately wanted a familyI sought the help of a judge，even the commissioner of the Department of Childrens Services and was adopted just a wee

51、是很困难的，但他们也需要爱和归属感，呼吁更多的人收养大龄儿童。【详解】1.推理判断题。根据第一段“When I was 16years old and in foster care （非亲代养）in Tennessee，people told me I was unadoptable”（当我16岁的时候，我在田纳西州的寄养中心，人们告诉我我是不能被收养的。）根据第二段“ Lets not forget about the more than 415000 youth in foster care especially older youth”别忘了还有415000多名青少年被寄养在寄养中心，尤
52、其是大龄儿童。由此判断出，从作者的个人经历中，可知大龄儿童很难被收养。故选A项。2.细节理解题。根据第七段“But theyre even more important when it comes to the little things-like having someone to share my bad day with,celebrate my achievements at work,or help me think through a difficult decision.Its in these moments that I just cant imagine being alo
53、ne in the world.”（但当涉及到一些小事时，他们甚至更重要比如有人分享我糟糕的一天，庆祝我工作上的成就，或者帮助我思考一个艰难的决定。正是在这些时刻，我无法想象独自一人生活在这个世界上。）可知，这个家庭总是和她分享快乐和悲伤的时刻，让作者觉得她无法想象独自一人在这个世界上。故选D项。3.词句猜测题。根据第八段“Its a risk for older foster youth to consider adoption”（考虑收养大龄儿童是有风险的。）及“ Its an opportunity to be rejected once again（这是一个再次被拒绝的机会）可知，大龄

60、And for many minimalists their key is to unload.

66、一篇说明文。文章探讨了极简主义思潮，全世界越来越多的人被极简主义的生活方式所吸引。极简主义认为，回归自然，减去生活中不必要的东西，有助于人们变得更快乐。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“Thanks to a travel-inspired revelation，Jay has been happily living a simpler life for 12 years.”( 多亏了一个旅游启示录，Jay 12年来一直快乐地过着简单的生活。)及下文“I always packed as lightly as possible, and found it delighting to get
67、 by with just a small carryon bag. I thought if it feels this great to travel lightly, how amazing would it be to live this way? I wanted to have that same feeling of freedom in my everyday life.”( 我总是尽量轻装上阵，只带一个小提包就过得很愉快。我想如果轻装上阵感觉这么好，这样生活会有多奇妙？我想在我的日常生活中有同样的自由感。)可知轻松地享受旅行的乐趣激发了Jay过着简朴的生活。故选 C项。【13
68、题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段“They share the same feeling of disappointment with modem life and a desire to live more simply.”（他们对现代生活有着同样的失望，渴望过更简单的生活。）及“Minimalists are typically progressive and concerned about the environment, Leah Watkins, a lead researcher at Otago University in New Zealand, told Stuff magaz
69、ine in March.”(Otago University 的首席研究员Leah Watkins今年3月在接受Stuff magazine的采访时表示，极简主义者通常是进步的，并且他们关心环境。 )可知典型的极简主义者们对现代生活是失望的，他们的行为对环境友好，并且他们生活时用的东西较少。故选B项。【14题详解】词句猜测题。根据下文中“ I may have fewer possessions, but I have more space Minimalism is making room for what matters most, said Jay. ”（杰伊说：“我可能拥有的东西少了
70、，但我有更多的空间. 简约主义为最重要的东西腾出了空间。”）可以推知，为了有更多的空间，简约主义的人会把不必要的东西去掉。所以划线的词的意思为“祛除，移走”，选项A符合文意。故选A项。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“And“the real questions”, according to Duane Elgin, US social scientist, are“what do you care about?”and“What do you value?”( 美国社会科学家Duane Elgin认为，“真正的问题”是 “你关心什么？”和“你看重什么？”) 及最后一段中的“Its i
71、mportant for people to realize minimalism isnt simply the amount of stuff we consume. Its about our families, our work, our connection with the larger world, our spiritual dimension.”( 人们必须认识到极简主义不仅仅是我们消费的东西的数量。它关乎我们的家庭，我们的工作，我们与更广阔世界的联系，我们的精神层面。)可以推理得知Duane Elgin认为极简主义使人们能够反思他们生活中真正重要的东西。故选C项。第二节(共
