Tour A — Bath & Stonehenge including entrance fees to the ancient Roman bathrooms and Stonehenge — ￡37 until 26 March and ￡39 thereafter. Visit the city with over 2,000 years of history and Bath Abbey, the Royal Crescent and the Costume Museum. Stonehenge is one of the world’s most famous prehistoric monuments dating back over 5,000 years. Tour B — Oxford & Stratford including entrance fees to the University St Mary’s Church Tower and Anne Hathaway’s house — ￡32 until 12 March and ￡36 thereafter. Oxford: Includes a guided tour of England’s oldest university city and colleges. Look over the “city of dreaming spires (尖顶)” from St Mary’s Church Tower. Stratford: Includes a guided tour exploring much of the Shakespeare wonder. Tour C — Windsor Castle & Hampton Court including entrance fees to Hampton Court Palace — ￡34 until 11 March and ￡37 thereafter. Includes a guided tour of Windsor and Hampton Court, Henry VIII’s favourite palace. Free time to visit Windsor Castle (entrance fees not included). With 500 years of history, Hampton Court was once the home of four Kings and one Queen. Now this former royal palace is open to the public as a major tourist attraction. Visit the palace and its various historic gardens, which include the famous maze (迷宫) where it is easy to get lost! Tour D — Cambridge including entrance fees to the Tower of Saint Mary the Great — ￡33 until 18 March and ￡37 thereafter. Includes a guided tour of Cambridge, the famous university town, and the gardens of the 18th century. 1. Which tour will you choose if you want to see England's oldest university city? A. Tour A. B. Tour B. C. Tour C. D. Tour D. 2. Which of the following tours charges the lowest fee on 17 March? A. Cambridge. B. Oxford & Stratford. C. Bath & Stonehenge. D. Windsor Castle & Hampton Court. 3. Why is Hampton Court a major tourist attraction? A. It is a world-famous castle. B. It is the oldest palace in Britain. C. It used to be a well-known maze. D. It used to be the residence of royal families. B Have you ever received a gift that was so clearly, not your taste that you wondered if perhaps it had been handed to you by mistake? Worse, have you ever given a present and watched your friend look as though she had opened the wrong box? Maybe she responded with a polite “Why, thank you,” but you knew you had missed the mark. Why do presents sometimes go wrong? And what do your choices (good and bad) reflect about your personal qualities? Choosing the right gift is an art, I believe. It calls for empathy—the ability to put yourself into someone else’s head and heart.We’re all able to do this; in fact, we’re born with a kind of natural empathy.After the earliest period of childhood, however, it needs to be reinforced (加强) —by our parents, teachers, friends. When it isn’t, we’re not able to understand other people’s feelings as sharply.This can show in the gifts we select, and so can many other emotional(情感的) qualities. Think back to the presents you’ve given over the past year, the time and effort you put into your selection, how much you spent, your thoughts while you were shopping, and your feelings when the receiver opened the package.Keep in mind that what you choose displays your inner world.(Of course, you may express yourself differently with different friends, relatives, and other people you know.) We live in a society where exchanging presents is an important part of communication.Ignoring the tradition won’t make it go away.If you really dislike such a tradition, tell your friends ahead of time. 4. The underlined expression “you had missed the mark” means you had failed to _______. A. make her feel better B. keep your friendship C. get the expected effect D. receive a present in return 5. Which of the following is the main idea of the second paragraph? A. Natural empathy needs to be reinforced. B. Emotional changes influence one’s choice of gifts. C. Selecting the right gift is an ability people are born with. D. Choosing gifts requires one to understand the receivers. 6. In the third paragraph, the author tells us that ________. A. the choice of gifts reflects one’s emotional qualities B. one learns from what he did in the past C. attention should be paid to the receivers’ responses D. one should spend more time choosing gifts 7. What can be the best title for this passage? A. Ways of Choosing Gifts B. An Important Tradition C. Exchanging Presents D. Message in a Gift C An environmental group called the Food Commission is unhappy and disappointed because of the sales of bottled water from Japan. The water, it angrily argues in public, has traveled 10,000 “food miles” before it reached Western customers. Transporting water halfway across the world is surely the extremely stupid use of fuel when there is plenty of water in the UK. It is also worrying that we were wasting our fuel by buying prawns from Indonesia (7,000 food miles) and carrots from South Africa (5,900 food miles). Counting the number of miles traveled done by a product is a strange way of trying to tell the true situation of the environmental damage due to industry. Most food is transported around the world on container ships that are extremely energy efficient. It should be noticed that a ton of butter transported 25 miles in a truck to a farmers’ market doesn’t necessarily use less fuel on its journey than a similar product transported hundreds of miles by sea. Besides, the idea of “food miles” ignores the amount of fuel used in the production. It is possible to cut down your food miles by buying tomatoes grown in Britain rather than those grown in Ghana. The difference is that the British ones will have been raised in heated greenhouse and the Ghanaian ones in the open sun. What is the idea of “food miles” does provide, however, is the chance to cut out Third World countries from First World food markets. The number of miles traveled by our food should, as I see it, be regarded as a sign of the success of the global trade system, not a sign of damage to the environment. 8. The Food Commission is angry because it thinks that ________. A. UK wastes a lot of money importing food products B. some imported goods causes environmental damage C. growing certain vegetables causes environmental damage D. people wasted energy buying food from other countries 9. The phrase “food miles” in the passage refers to the distance ________. A. that a food product travels to a market B. that a food product travels from one market to another C. between UK and other food producing countries D. between a Third World country and a First World food market 10. By comparing tomatoes raised in Britain and in Ghana, the author tries to explain that ________. A. British tomatoes are healthier than Ghanaian ones B. Ghanaian tomatoes taste better than tomatoes ones C. cutting down food miles may not necessarily save fuel D. protecting the environment may cost a lot of money 11. From the passage we know that the author is most probably ________. A. a supporter of free global trade B. a member of a Food Commission C. a supporter of First World food markets D. a member of an energy development group D “I didn’t like the ending,” I said to my favorite college professor. It was my junior year of undergraduate, and I was doing an independent study on Victorian literature. I had just finished reading The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot, and I was heartbroken with the ending. Prof. Gracie, with all his patience, asked me to think about it beyond whether I liked it or not. He suggested I think about the difference between endings that I wanted for the characters and endings that were right for the characters, endings that satisfied the story even if they didn’t have a traditionally positive outcome. Of course, I would have preferred a different ending for Tom and Maggie Tulliver, but the ending they got did make the most sense for them. This was an aha moment for me, and I never thought about endings the same way again. From then on, if I wanted to read an ending guaranteed to be happy, I’d pick up a love romance. If I wanted an ending I couldn’t guess, I’d pick up a mystery (悬疑小说). One where I kind of knew what was going to happen, historical fiction. Choosing what to read became easier. But writing the end — that’s hard. It’s hard for writers because endings carry so much weight with readers. You have to balance creating an ending that's unpredictable, but doesn’t seem to come from nowhere, one that fits what’s right for the characters. That’s why this issue (期) of Writer’s Digest aims to help you figure out how to write the best ending for whatever kind of writing you’re doing. If it’s short stories, Peter Mountford breaks down six techniques you can try to see which one helps you stick the landing. Elizabeth Sims analyzes the final chapters of five great novels to see what key points they include and how you can adapt them for your work. This issue won’t tell you what your ending should be — that’s up to you and the story you’re telling — but it might provide what you need to get there. 12. Why did the author go to Prof. Gracie? A. To discuss a novel. B. To submit a book report. C. To argue for a writer. D. To ask for a reading list. 13. What did the author realize after seeing Gracie? A. Writing is a matter of personal preferences. B. Readers are often carried away by character. C. Each type of literature has its unique end. D. A story which begins well will end well. 14. What is expected of a good ending? A. It satisfies readers’ taste. B. It fits with the story development. C. It is usually positive. D. It is open for imagination. 15. Why does the author mention Peter Mountford and Elizabeth Sims? A. To give examples of great novelists. B. To stress the theme of this issue. C. To encourage writing for the magazine. D. To recommend their new books. E Who is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries. Let’s state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they? In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It’s said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others. A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not. Here’s the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.” 16. What does the author think of victors’ standards for joining the genius club? A. They’re unfair. B. They’re conservative. C. They’re objective. D. They’re strict. 17. What can we infer about girls from the study in Science? A. They think themselves smart. B. They look up to great thinkers. C. They see gender differences earlier than boys. D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs 18 Why are more geniuses known to the public? A. Improved global communication. B. Less discrimination against women. C. Acceptance of victors’ concepts. D. Changes in people’s social positions. 19. What is the best title for the text? A. Geniuses Think Alike B. Genius Takes Many Forms C. Genius and Intelligence D. Genius and Luck 第二节(共5小题, 每小题2．5分, 共12．5分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A Few Tips for Self-Acceptance We all want it… to accept and love ourselves.

(牛津：包括在导游的带领下参观英国最古老的大学城和学院。)”可知如果你想参观英国最古老的大学城，可以选择Tour B，故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Tour A 中的“Bath & Stonehenge — ￡37 until 26 March and ￡39 thereafter. (Bath & Stonehenge —3月26日之前为37英镑，3月26日之后为39英镑。)”， Tour B 中的“Oxford & Stratford — ￡32 until 12 March and ￡36 thereafter. (Oxford & Stratford — 3月12日前为32英镑，之后为36英镑。)”，Tour C 中的“Windsor Castle & Hampton Court — ￡34 until 11 March and ￡37 thereafter. (Windsor Castle & Hampton Court — 3月11日前为34英镑，之后为37英镑。)”，Tour D 中的“Cambridge — ￡33 until 18 March and ￡37 thereafter. (Cambridge — 3月18日前为33英镑，之后为37英镑。)”，可知在3月17日Cambridge收费最低，故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Tour C中的“With 500 years of history, Hampton Court was once the home of four Kings and one Queen. Now this former royal palace is open to the public as a major tourist attraction. (汉普顿宫有500年的历史，曾经是四位国王和一位女王的家。现在，这座昔日的皇家宫殿作为一个主要的旅游景点向公众开放。)”可知汉普顿宫是一个主要的旅游景点是因为它过去是皇室的住所。故选D。 B Have you ever received a gift that was so clearly, not your taste that you wondered if perhaps it had been handed to you by mistake? Worse, have you ever given a present and watched your friend look as though she had opened the wrong box? Maybe she responded with a polite “Why, thank you,” but you knew you had missed the mark. Why do presents sometimes go wrong? And what do your choices (good and bad) reflect about your personal qualities? Choosing the right gift is an art, I believe. It calls for empathy—the ability to put yourself into someone else’s head and heart.We’re all able to do this; in fact, we’re born with a kind of natural empathy.After the earliest period of childhood, however, it needs to be reinforced (加强) —by our parents, teachers, friends. When it isn’t, we’re not able to understand other people’s feelings as sharply.This can show in the gifts we select, and so can many other emotional(情感的) qualities. Think back to the presents you’ve given over the past year, the time and effort you put into your selection, how much you spent, your thoughts while you were shopping, and your feelings when the receiver opened the package.Keep in mind that what you choose displays your inner world.(Of course, you may express yourself differently with different friends, relatives, and other people you know.) We live in a society where exchanging presents is an important part of communication.Ignoring the tradition won’t make it go away.If you really dislike such a tradition, tell your friends ahead of time. 4. The underlined expression “you had missed the mark” means you had failed to _______. A. make her feel better B. keep your friendship C. get the expected effect D. receive a present in return 5. Which of the following is the main idea of the second paragraph? A. Natural empathy needs to be reinforced. B. Emotional changes influence one’s choice of gifts. C. Selecting the right gift is an ability people are born with. D. Choosing gifts requires one to understand the receivers. 6. In the third paragraph, the author tells us that ________. A. the choice of gifts reflects one’s emotional qualities B. one learns from what he did in the past C. attention should be paid to the receivers’ responses D. one should spend more time choosing gifts 7. What can be the best title for this passage? A. Ways of Choosing Gifts B. An Important Tradition C. Exchanging Presents D. Message in a Gift 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了送礼物所蕴含的一些信息和反映出的事实。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Maybe she responded with a polite “Why, thank you,” but you knew”以及后文“Why do presents sometimes go wrong?(为什么礼物有时会出错？)”可知，but表示转折，结合后文提到了礼物出错，说明送出的礼物没有得到预期的效果。故划线词意思是“得到预期的效果”。故选C。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Choosing the right gift is an art, I believe. It calls for empathy—the ability to put yourself into someone else’s head and heart. We’re all able to do this; in fact, we’re born with a kind of natural empathy. After the earliest period of childhood, however, it needs to be reinforced (加强) —by our parents, teachers, friends. When it isn’t, we’re not able to understand other people’s feelings as sharply. This can show in the gifts we select, and so can many other emotional(情感的) qualities.(我相信，选择合适的礼物是一门艺术。它需要移情——把自己放在别人的头脑和内心的能力。我们都能做到这一点；事实上，我们生来就有一种天然的同理心。然而，在童年的最初阶段之后，它需要我们的父母、老师和朋友来加强。如果不是这样，我们就不能敏锐地理解别人的感受。这可以体现在我们选择的礼物上，也可以体现在许多其他的情感品质上)”可知，第二段主旨是选礼物需要了解收礼者。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Think back to the presents you’ve given over the past year, the time and effort you put into your selection, how much you spent, your thoughts while you were shopping, and your feelings when the receiver opened the package. Keep in mind that what you choose displays your inner world.(Of course, you may express yourself differently with different friends, relatives, and other people you know.)( 回想一下过去一年你送过的礼物，你在挑选礼物时花了多少时间和精力，你花了多少钱，你在购物时的想法，以及当收礼者打开礼物包时的感受。记住，你的选择显示了你的内心世界。（当然，你对不同的朋友、亲戚和其他你认识的人可能会有不同的表达方式）)”可推知，在第三段，作者告诉我们，礼物的选择反映了一个人的情感品质。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Have you ever received a gift that was so clearly, not your taste that you wondered if perhaps it had been handed to you by mistake? Worse, have you ever given a present and watched your friend look as though she had opened the wrong box? Maybe she responded with a polite “Why, thank you,” but you knew you had missed the mark. Why do presents sometimes go wrong? And what do your choices (good and bad) reflect about your personal qualities?(你是否曾经收到过一份礼物，但它明显不是你的品味，以至于你怀疑它是否被错误地交给了你？更糟糕的是，你是否曾经送过礼物，却发现你的朋友看起来好像打开了错的盒子？也许她会礼貌地回答“为什么，谢谢你”，但你知道你错过了目标。为什么礼物有时会出错？你的选择（好的和坏的）反映了你的个人品质吗？)”结合文章主要说明了送礼物所蕴含的一些信息和反映出的事实。可知，D选项“礼物中的信息”最符合文章标题。故选D。 C An environmental group called the Food Commission is unhappy and disappointed because of the sales of bottled water from Japan. The water, it angrily argues in public, has traveled 10,000 “food miles” before it reached Western customers. Transporting water halfway across the world is surely the extremely stupid use of fuel when there is plenty of water in the UK. It is also worrying that we were wasting our fuel by buying prawns from Indonesia (7,000 food miles) and carrots from South Africa (5,900 food miles). Counting the number of miles traveled done by a product is a strange way of trying to tell the true situation of the environmental damage due to industry. Most food is transported around the world on container ships that are extremely energy efficient. It should be noticed that a ton of butter transported 25 miles in a truck to a farmers’ market doesn’t necessarily use less fuel on its journey than a similar product transported hundreds of miles by sea. Besides, the idea of “food miles” ignores the amount of fuel used in the production. It is possible to cut down your food miles by buying tomatoes grown in Britain rather than those grown in Ghana. The difference is that the British ones will have been raised in heated greenhouse and the Ghanaian ones in the open sun. What is the idea of “food miles” does provide, however, is the chance to cut out Third World countries from First World food markets. The number of miles traveled by our food should, as I see it, be regarded as a sign of the success of the global trade system, not a sign of damage to the environment. 8. The Food Commission is angry because it thinks that ________. A. UK wastes a lot of money importing food products B. some imported goods causes environmental damage C. growing certain vegetables causes environmental damage D. people wasted energy buying food from other countries 9. The phrase “food miles” in the passage refers to the distance ________. A. that a food product travels to a market B. that a food product travels from one market to another C. between UK and other food producing countries D. between a Third World country and a First World food market 10. By comparing tomatoes raised in Britain and in Ghana, the author tries to explain that ________. A. British tomatoes are healthier than Ghanaian ones B. Ghanaian tomatoes taste better than tomatoes ones C. cutting down food miles may not necessarily save fuel D. protecting the environment may cost a lot of money 11. From the passage we know that the author is most probably ________. A. a supporter of free global trade B. a member of a Food Commission C. a supporter of First World food markets D. a member of an energy development group 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。该篇文章通过运送食物而带来的巨大浪费提醒世人多食用本地生产的食物，而避免食物循环的浪费。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“An environmental group called the Food Commission is unhappy and disappointed because of the sales of bottled water from Japan. The water, it angrily argues in public, has traveled 10,000 “food miles” before it reached Western customers. Transporting water halfway across the world is surely the extremely stupid use of fuel when there is plenty of water in the UK.(一个名为食品委员会的环保组织对日本瓶装水的销售感到不满和失望。该公司在公开场合愤怒地争辩说，这种水在到达西方客户之前已经走了10000“食物英里”。在英国有足够的水的情况下，穿越半个地球运水无疑是极其愚蠢的燃料消耗)”可知，食品委员会很生气，因为它认为人们从其他国家购买食品是浪费能源。故选D。 【9题详解】 短语猜测题。根据第一段中“Transporting water halfway across the world is surely the extremely stupid use of fuel when there is plenty of water in the UK.(在英国有足够水的情况下，穿越半个地球运水无疑是极其愚蠢的燃料消耗)”可推知，这种日本瓶装水在到达英国之前，穿越了半个地球，走了10000“食物里程”。故可推测画线部分意思是“食品到达市场的距离”。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Besides, the idea of “food miles” ignores the amount of fuel used in the production. It is possible to cut down your food miles by buying tomatoes grown in Britain rather than those grown in Ghana. The difference is that the British ones will have been raised in heated greenhouse and the Ghanaian ones in the open sun.(此外，“食物里程”的概念忽略了生产过程中使用的燃料数量。购买英国种植的番茄而不是加纳种植的番茄，可以减少你的食物里程。不同的是，英国的番茄是在温室里长大的，而加纳的番茄是在阳光下长大的)”可推知，通过对比英国和加纳种植的番茄，作者试图解释减少食物里程不一定能节省燃料。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The number of miles traveled by our food should, as I see it, be regarded as a sign of the success of the global trade system, not a sign of damage to the environment.(在我看来，我们的食物所经过的里程数应该被视为全球贸易体系成功的标志，而不是对环境造成破坏的标志)”可推知，作者很可能是一个全球自由贸易的支持者。故选A。 D “I didn’t like the ending,” I said to my favorite college professor. It was my junior year of undergraduate, and I was doing an independent study on Victorian literature. I had just finished reading The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot, and I was heartbroken with the ending. Prof. Gracie, with all his patience, asked me to think about it beyond whether I liked it or not. He suggested I think about the difference between endings that I wanted for the characters and endings that were right for the characters, endings that satisfied the story even if they didn’t have a traditionally positive outcome. Of course, I would have preferred a different ending for Tom and Maggie Tulliver, but the ending they got did make the most sense for them. This was an aha moment for me, and I never thought about endings the same way again. From then on, if I wanted to read an ending guaranteed to be happy, I’d pick up a love romance. If I wanted an ending I couldn’t guess, I’d pick up a mystery (悬疑小说). One where I kind of knew what was going to happen, historical fiction. Choosing what to read became easier. But writing the end — that’s hard. It’s hard for writers because endings carry so much weight with readers. You have to balance creating an ending that's unpredictable, but doesn’t seem to come from nowhere, one that fits what’s right for the characters. That’s why this issue (期) of Writer’s Digest aims to help you figure out how to write the best ending for whatever kind of writing you’re doing. If it’s short stories, Peter Mountford breaks down six techniques you can try to see which one helps you stick the landing. Elizabeth Sims analyzes the final chapters of five great novels to see what key points they include and how you can adapt them for your work. This issue won’t tell you what your ending should be — that’s up to you and the story you’re telling — but it might provide what you need to get there. 12. Why did the author go to Prof. Gracie? A. To discuss a novel. B. To submit a book report. C. To argue for a writer. D. To ask for a reading list. 13. What did the author realize after seeing Gracie? A. Writing is a matter of personal preferences. B. Readers are often carried away by character. C. Each type of literature has its unique end. D. A story which begins well will end well. 14. What is expected of a good ending? A. It satisfies readers’ taste. B. It fits with the story development. C. It is usually positive. D. It is open for imagination. 15. Why does the author mention Peter Mountford and Elizabeth Sims? A. To give examples of great novelists. B. To stress the theme of this issue. C. To encourage writing for the magazine. D. To recommend their new books. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章首先通过作者与教授关于小说结局的讨论引发了对结局的思考，接着阐述了不同类型的文学作品结局的特点，最后提出了写作好的结局的重要性并介绍了《Writer’s Digest》杂志如何帮助作家写出更好的结尾。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段““I didn’t like the ending,” I said to my favorite college professor. It was my junior year of undergraduate, and I was doing an independent study on Victorian literature. I had just finished reading The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot, and I was heartbroken with the ending. Prof. Gracie, with all his patience, asked me to think about it beyond whether I liked it or not.( “我不喜欢这个结局，”我对我最喜欢的大学教授说。那是我大三的时候，我正在做一项关于维多利亚文学的独立研究。我刚刚读完乔治·艾略特的《弗洛斯河上的磨坊》，读到结尾我很伤心。格雷西教授耐心地让我考虑一下，不要只看我喜不喜欢)”可知，作者去找格雷西教授是为了讨论小说。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“This was an aha moment for me, and I never thought about endings the same way again. From then on, if I wanted to read an ending guaranteed to be happy, I’d pick up a love romance. If I wanted an ending I couldn’t guess, I’d pick up a mystery (悬疑小说). One where I kind of knew what was going to happen, historical fiction. Choosing what to read became easier.( 这对我来说是一个顿悟的时刻，我再也没有想过同样的结局。从那时起，如果我想读一个保证幸福的结局，我就会选一部爱情小说。如果我想要一个我猜不到的结局，我会选一本神秘小说。一种是我知道会发生什么，历史小说。选择读什么变得更容易了)”可知，见过格雷西教授后，作者意识到了每种类型的文学都有其独特的结局。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“But writing the end—that’s hard. It’s hard for writers because endings carry so much weight with readers. You have to balance creating an ending that’s unpredictable, but doesn’t seem to come from nowhere, one that fits what’s right for the characters.(但是写出结局——那很难。对作家来说很难，因为结局对读者来说意义重大。你必须平衡创造一个不可预测的结局，但这个结局又不能显得凭空而来，要适合角色的设定)”可知，人们对一个好结局的期望是结局又不能显得凭空而来，要适合角色的设定，也就是符合故事的发展。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“That’s why this issue (期) of Writer’s Digest aims to help you figure out how to write the best ending for whatever kind of writing you’re doing. If it’s short stories, Peter Mountford breaks down six techniques you can try to see which one helps you stick the landing. Elizabeth Sims analyzes the final chapters of five great novels to see what key points they include and how you can adapt them for your work.( 这就是为什么这期《Writer’s Digest》旨在帮助你找出如何为你正在写的任何类型的作品写出最好的结局。如果是短篇小说，彼得·蒙特福德分解了六种技巧，你可以尝试看看哪一种能帮助你完美着陆。伊丽莎白·西姆斯分析了五部伟大小说的最后几章，看看它们包含了哪些关键点，以及你如何将它们应用到你的作品中)”可知，作者提到彼得·蒙福德和伊丽莎白·西姆斯是为了强调这期《Writer’s Digest》的主题，即帮助读者写出更好的结尾。故选B项。 【点睛】 E Who is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries. Let’s state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they? In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It’s said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others. A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not. Here’s the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.” 16. What does the author think of victors’ standards for joining the genius club? A. They’re unfair. B. They’re conservative. C. They’re objective. D. They’re strict. 17 What can we infer about girls from the study in Science? A. They think themselves smart. B. They look up to great thinkers. C. They see gender differences earlier than boys. D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs 18. Why are more geniuses known to the public? A. Improved global communication. B. Less discrimination against women. C. Acceptance of victors’ concepts. D. Changes in people’s social positions. 19. What is the best title for the text? A. Geniuses Think Alike B. Genius Takes Many Forms C. Genius and Intelligence D. Genius and Luck 【答案】16. A 17. D 18. A 19. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章由问题“谁是天才?”引入，论述了世人对天才的狭隘定义，提出事实上“天才”有很多种形式，不要让思维限制了我们的“天才”能力。 【16题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“It is said that history is written by victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club-women, or people of a different color or belief-they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.(据说历史是由胜利者书写的，而那些胜利者为进入天才俱乐部设定了标准。当俱乐部以外的天才——女性或不同肤色或信仰的人——做出贡献时，他们不会被承认并且被其他人拒绝。)”可知，作者认为那些“胜利者”对进“天才俱乐部”设置的标准是不公平的，因为女性或者不同肤色或信仰的人做出的成就是得不到承认的。故选A。 【17题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief. Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.(更糟糕的是，研究发现女孩们是按照这个信念行事的。六岁左右，她们开始避免那些据说是“非常非常聪明”的孩子参加的活动。)”可推知，女孩容易受到社会信仰的影响，认为自己不适合做“聪明孩子”做的事情。故选D。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear.(在一个拥有持续的全球交流的联网的世界里，我们随时随地都能看到天才的出现。)”可知，进步的全球通讯让更多的天才被公众所知道。故选A。 【19题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，结合文章第一段提出问题“Who is a genius?(谁是天才)”和最后一段的“And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance, and simple geniuses, who are able to change the world.(我们看得越多，就越会发现，像性别、种族和阶级这样的社会因素并不能决定天才的外表。正如一位作家所说，未来的天才来自那些具有“智慧、创造力、毅力和那些能够改变世界的简单天才。)”可知，天才不一定是那些有巨大贡献的人，他们也可以是某一方面比较突出的普通人。由此可知B项“天才有多种形式”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选B。 第二节(共5小题, 每小题2．5分, 共12．5分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A Few Tips for Self-Acceptance We all want it… to accept and love ourselves.
