As 17-year old Torri’ell Norwood drove through St. Petersburg, Florida, the laughter and chatter from the four teenage girls inside her car quickly gave way to screams. As they approached a crossroads, another car T-boned them, sending their car sailing into the yard of a nearby home, coming to a stop only when it crashed into a tree.
As smoke rose from the other car, someone shouted, “It’s about to blow up! Get out!” The impact had caved in Norwood’s driver’s side door. Shaken, but otherwise OK, Norwood crawled (缓慢移动) out through the window. Along with two of her friends, who’d also managed to free themselves, she ran for her life.
But halfway down the street, she realized that her best friend, A’zarria Simmons, wasn’t with them. Norwood ran back to the car and found that Simmons fainted in the back seat and wasn’t moving. She threw open the back door and pulled her friend out. She dragged Simmons a few feet to safety and laid her on the ground. “I checked her pulse.” Nothing. “I put my head against her chest.” No sign of life. “That’s when I started CPR(心肺复苏术).”
Amazingly, Norwood had just earned her CPR certificate the day before. Kneeling on the ground and looking down at her dying friend, Norwood knew she had precious little time to practice what she’d learned. She started pressing Simmons’s chest and breathing into her friend’s mouth in hopes of filling her lungs with the kiss of life. No response. And then, after the 30th compression(挤压), Simmons began coughing and gasping for air. The CPR had worked!
Soon, ambulance crew arrived and rushed Simmons to the hospital. Thanks to Norwood’s quick thinking, Simmons is recovering well. And then she heard how her best friend had saved her life. “I know I wasn’t shocked,” Simmons said. “She will always help any way she can.”

B. How Norwood performed CPR.
C. How Norwood treated the wound.
D. How Norwood gained CPR certificate.

B. She received immediate CPR.
C. She knew Norwood is a reliable friend.
D. She believed ambulance crew would arrive.

Italy's fashion capital is gray — not only because of the blocks of stone buildings,but also due to its often-gray sky, which traps pollution. But Milan now wants to change it.
The city has an ambitious plan to plant 3 million new trees by 2030 - a move that experts say could offer relief from the city's hot weather. Some projects have already contributed to environmental improvements. Architect Stefano Boeri’s Vertical Forest residential (居民的) tower, completed in 2014, aims to improve not only air quality but the quality of life for Milan residents. Boeri created a small island of greenery in the heart of Milan, filling every balcony with plants that absorb carbon dioxide.
“I think forestation is one of the best chances that we have today. It is one of the most effective ways we have to fight climate change, because everyone can plant trees, Boeri said.
Damiano Di Simine, a member of the environmental group Legambiente , said the green Milan project will lower temperatures in a city where the nighttime temperature can be 6 degrees Celsius higher than in the surrounding area. City show that Milan experiences 35 hot nights a year. Because the city lies close to the Alps, Milin gets very little wind to lower the city's temperatures. "Planting trees will help this," Di said.
The Vertical Forest has attracted more than 20 species of birds. And the shade provided by the 800 trees and 15,000 plants means that residents rarely have to put on air conditioning, even in hot summers. The Vertical Forest's total greenery- can absorb 30 metric tons of carbon dioxide every year. The presence of green trees has a very important effect on people's health and psychological state, as has already been proved.
8. What change does Milan plan to make?
A. Planting more trees.
B. Creating a new fashion style.
C. Pulling down more gray stone buildings.
D. Doing more surveys to study global wanning.
9. What's Boeri's opinion on the city's plan?
A. It costs a lot.
B. It is unpractical.
C. It fails to attract people's attention.
D. It is helpful to fight against climate change.
10. What is Di Simine's attitude toward the city's plan?
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive.
C. Disappointed. D. Unconcerned.
11. What does the last paragraph focus on?
A. Specifics of the city's plan.
B. Challenges faced by the city.
C. The aim of the Vertical Forest project.
D. The positive effect of the Vertical Forest project.
D
Have you ever spent half an hour searching the Internet which, as you find out afterwards, lasted three hours, or opened a book shortly after breakfast and a little while later noticed that the room was getting darker?
Most people can remember experiencing such a state. Your mind wasn't wandering; you were totally focused and concentrated on that activity, to such an extent that you were not even aware of yourself. Psychologists call these fully absorbing experiences flow states, which were discovered and named by a world-famous psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. His celebrated book Flow: The Psychology of Happiness became an instant best-seller, making its way to the top self-help classics.
The state of flow happens under very specific conditions-when we encounter a challenge that is testing for our skills, and yet our skills and capacities are such that it is just about possible to meet this challenge. So both the challenge and the skills are at high levels, stretching us almost to the limit. If challenges exceed skills, one can become anxious. If skills exceed challenges, we usually become bored. Neither of these two cases result in flow.
What is also interesting in flow is the almost total absence of emotions during the actual process. One seems to be almost beyond experiencing emotions, most likely because the awareness of self is not present. Mihaly himself is also very much aware of the potential negative impact of the flow. One philosopher once describes his own experience of flow: “When I get totally involved in the conversation, I am not aware of myself, the world around or the passage of time. Sometimes, I may become addictive to that existence, unwilling to cope with other daily routines of life, like forgetting dinner, and saying goodbye to my children.”
12. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?
A. To offer a general background of the topic. B. To make an overall outline for the passage.
C. To introduce the topic of the passage. D. To clarify the definition of the topic.
13. In which of the following experience can we enter "flow state"?
A. Adopting a dog. B. Watching TV.
C. Playing the chess. D. Arguing with others.
14. What can we infer from the third paragraph?
A. The state of flow is little conditional. B. Genius at normal schools often gets bored.
C. Challenges at high levels push us to the limit. D. Skills play the most important part in flow.
15. Why does the writer quote the philosopher's words?
A. To show the drawbacks of the flow. B. To stress the value of self-awareness.
C. To underline the absence of emotions. D. To indicate the difficulty of enjoying the flow.

Humour is a phenomenon influenced by culture. It can be difficult to determine what aspects form a certain sense of humour. How funny somebody finds a certain incident depends on many aspects including age, personal experience, level of education and geographical location. A nation’s sense of humour is linked to the historical development of the country. ___16___
But what about when both countries speak the same mother tongue? Will they then share the same sense of humour or can differences still occur? Let’s take the example of Britain and America. ___17___ To what degree is this true if at all?
Recent research proves that there are two major differences between British and American sense of humour. ___18___ However, it’s not shared by Americans. For example, if a British man lost his new and favourite mobile phone in the toilet, he just said “Well done! That’s just what I need.”
___19___ And that kind of jokes is called negative humour by researchers. British men and women use it on a daily basis, while it is not the case of American humour. What Americans don’t understand is the need to use it so frequently. When Americans use negative humour, they tend to state that they were “only kidding”.
Although the British really do have a unique sense of humour, quite different to American humour, they can both appreciate the other’s sense of humour. Therefore, some shows describe a lifestyle which both Americans and the British alike can relate to. ___20___
A. British jokes tend to have a hidden meaning.
B. Thus humour can’t always be conveyed in another country.
C. Americans and the British often share the same sense of humour.

This is mike. Tonight, i'd like to address myself to parents who are planning to send their children to university, but who might be concerned about the cost. There is no doubt that university education is of great value. Not only will your children learn and grow, but according to the department of skills figures, on average, someone with higher education earns fifty percent more in a lifetime than someone without, but in the last decade or so, the cost of getting a degree has more than doubled. And IT looks as if things are going to get worse. University fees are rising steadily. If you thought funding a university education was beyond your reach, think again, university education can offer your children the opportunity of a lifetime. If you are a new parent, remember that the earlier you start saving, the less you have to pay every month, and the greater your return. The national union of students evaluates that the average undergraduate needs about twenty five thousand pounds to finance three years at university. Based on these figures, IT is projected that when someone is at university in twenty years time, the cost will be approximately forty thousand pounds, but students can always get some kinds of part time jobs. During university years, parents can save money by encouraging their children to study locally and live at home. Almost eighty percent of the cost students have to meet our living expenses. Good evening, everyone. This is mike. tonight. ID like to address myself to parents who are planning to send their children to university, but who might be concerned about the cost. There is no doubt that university education is of great value. Not only will your children learn and grow, but according to the department of skills figures, on average, someone with higher education earns fifty percent more in a lifetime than someone without, but in the last decade or so, the cost of getting a degree has more than doubled. And IT looks as if things are going to get worse. University fees are rising steadily. If you thought funding a university education was beyond your reach, think again, university education can offer your children the opportunity of a lifetime. If you are a new parent, remember that the earlier you start saving, the less you have to pay every month, and the greater your return. The national union of students evaluates that the average undergraduate needs about twenty five thousand pounds to finance three years at university. Based on these figures, IT is projected that when someone is at university in twenty years time, the cost will be approximately forty thousand pounds, but students can always get some kinds of part time jobs. During university years, parents can save money by encouraging their children to study locally and live at home. Almost eighty percent of the cost students have to meet our living expenses. 听力部分到此结束。

As 17-year old Torri’ell Norwood drove through St. Petersburg, Florida, the laughter and chatter from the four teenage girls inside her car quickly gave way to screams. As they approached a crossroads, another car T-boned them, sending their car sailing into the yard of a nearby home, coming to a stop only when it crashed into a tree.
As smoke rose from the other car, someone shouted, “It’s about to blow up! Get out!” The impact had caved in Norwood’s driver’s side door. Shaken, but otherwise OK, Norwood crawled (缓慢移动) out through the window. Along with two of her friends, who’d also managed to free themselves, she ran for her life.
But halfway down the street, she realized that her best friend, A’zarria Simmons, wasn’t with them. Norwood ran back to the car and found that Simmons fainted in the back seat and wasn’t moving. She threw open the back door and pulled her friend out. She dragged Simmons a few feet to safety and laid her on the ground. “I checked her pulse.” Nothing. “I put my head against her chest.” No sign of life. “That’s when I started CPR(心肺复苏术).”
Amazingly, Norwood had just earned her CPR certificate the day before. Kneeling on the ground and looking down at her dying friend, Norwood knew she had precious little time to practice what she’d learned. She started pressing Simmons’s chest and breathing into her friend’s mouth in hopes of filling her lungs with the kiss of life. No response. And then, after the 30th compression(挤压), Simmons began coughing and gasping for air. The CPR had worked!
Soon, ambulance crew arrived and rushed Simmons to the hospital. Thanks to Norwood’s quick thinking, Simmons is recovering well. And then she heard how her best friend had saved her life. “I know I wasn’t shocked,” Simmons said. “She will always help any way she can.”
4. What happened to the teenage girls on the way?
A. They suffered a car accident. B. They gave way to another car.
C. Their car crashed into a wall. D. Their car broke down halfway.
5. What does the underlined word “fainted” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Died. B. Rested. C. Fell asleep. D. Became unconscious.
6. What is the paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. How Norwood learnt CPR.
B. How Norwood performed CPR.
C. How Norwood treated the wound.
D. How Norwood gained CPR certificate.
7. Why did Simmons say she wasn’t shocked?
A. She recovered from shock.
B. She received immediate CPR.
C. She knew Norwood is a reliable friend.
D. She believed ambulance crew would arrive.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了17岁的Torri’ell Norwood 遭遇车祸后,冒着车子爆炸的危险救出朋友,并利用所学的心肺复苏术挽回朋友的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“As they approached a crossroads, another car T-boned them, sending their car sailing into the yard of a nearby home, coming to a stop only when it crashed into a tree.”(当他们接近十字路口时,另一辆车撞上了他们,把他们的车开进了附近一个家的院子,直到撞到树上才停下来。)可知,她们遭遇了车祸。故选A项。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段“...wasn’t moving”(动不了)以及倒数第二段中“And then, after the 30th compression(挤压), Simmons began coughing and gasping for air.”(然后,在第30次挤压之后, Simmons 开始咳嗽,喘着粗气。)可知,Simmons 此时失去了意识。因此“fainted”表示“失去意识”。故选D项。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“She started pressing Simmons’s chest and breathing into her friend’s mouth in hopes of filling her lungs with the kiss of life. ”(她开始按压西蒙斯的胸部,向她朋友的嘴里呼气。)“And then, after the 30th compression(挤压), Simmons began coughing and gasping for air.”(然后,在第30次挤压之后,西蒙斯开始咳嗽,喘着粗气。)可知,此段讲Norwood 进行心肺复苏的操作过程。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章的最后一句“She will always help any way she can.”(她会尽一切可能提供帮助)可知,Simmons认为Norwood会尽一切可能来帮助她,由此可推知,Simmons在听到她的好朋友救了她后,她一点也不吃惊,这是因为Simmons很信任Norwood,知道她是一个可靠的朋友。故选C项。
C
Italy's fashion capital is gray — not only because of the blocks of stone buildings,but also due to its often-gray sky, which traps pollution. But Milan now wants to change it.
The city has an ambitious plan to plant 3 million new trees by 2030 - a move that experts say could offer relief from the city's hot weather. Some projects have already contributed to environmental improvements. Architect Stefano Boeri’s Vertical Forest residential (居民的) tower, completed in 2014, aims to improve not only air quality but the quality of life for Milan residents. Boeri created a small island of greenery in the heart of Milan, filling every balcony with plants that absorb carbon dioxide.
“I think forestation is one of the best chances that we have today. It is one of the most effective ways we have to fight climate change, because everyone can plant trees, Boeri said.
Damiano Di Simine, a member of the environmental group Legambiente , said the green Milan project will lower temperatures in a city where the nighttime temperature can be 6 degrees Celsius higher than in the surrounding area. City show that Milan experiences 35 hot nights a year. Because the city lies close to the Alps, Milin gets very little wind to lower the city's temperatures. "Planting trees will help this," Di said.
The Vertical Forest has attracted more than 20 species of birds. And the shade provided by the 800 trees and 15,000 plants means that residents rarely have to put on air conditioning, even in hot summers. The Vertical Forest's total greenery- can absorb 30 metric tons of carbon dioxide every year. The presence of green trees has a very important effect on people's health and psychological state, as has already been proved.
8. What change does Milan plan to make?
A. Planting more trees.
B. Creating a new fashion style.
C. Pulling down more gray stone buildings.
D. Doing more surveys to study global wanning.
9. What's Boeri's opinion on the city's plan?
A. It costs a lot.
B. It is unpractical.
C. It fails to attract people's attention.
D. It is helpful to fight against climate change.
10. What is Di Simine's attitude toward the city's plan?
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive.
C. Disappointed. D. Unconcerned.
11. What does the last paragraph focus on?
A. Specifics of the city's plan.
B. Challenges faced by the city.
C. The aim of the Vertical Forest project.
D. The positive effect of the Vertical Forest project.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章讲述意大利的时尚之都米兰计划要在2030年之前种植300万棵新树,不仅能够改善米兰的气候,而且改变米兰以前的灰色的城市构造。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的最后一句“But Milan now wants to change it (但现在米兰想要改变这一现状。)和第二段的第一句“The city has an ambitious plan to plant 3 million new trees by 2030 (该市有一个雄心勃勃的计划,要在2030年之前种植300万棵新树。)可知,米兰计划种更多的树,故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段内容“‘I think forestation is one of the best chances that we have today. It is one of the most effective ways we have to fight climate change, because everyone can plant trees,’Boeri said. (“ 我认为植树造林是我们现在最好的机会之一。这是我们对抗气候变化最有效的方法之一,因为每个人都可以种树,”博埃里说。)可知,博埃里认为种树有助于对抗气候变化,故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Damiano Di Simine, a member of the environmental group Legambiente , said the green Milan project will lower temperatures in a city where the nighttime temperature can be 6 degrees Celsius higher than in the surrounding area.( 环保组织成员Di Simine说,绿色米兰项目将降低这个夜间气温比周围地区高6摄氏度的城市的气温)”和“"Planting trees will help this," Di said.( “植树会有帮助的,”迪说。)”可推断,Di Simine对这个城市计划是支持的。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段的内容“Hie Vertical Forest has attracted more than 20 species of birds. And the shade provided by the 800 trees and 15,000 plants means that residents rarely have to put on air conditioning, even in hot summers. The Vertical Forest's total greenery- can absorb 30 metric tons of carbon dioxide every year. The presence of green trees has a very important effect on people's health and psychological state, as has already been proved(垂直森林计划已经吸引了20多种鸟类。而800棵树和15000株植物提供的树荫意味着居民很少需要安装空调,即使是在炎热的夏天。垂直森林的总绿色植物——每年能吸收30公吨的二氧化碳。绿树的存在对人们的健康和心理状态有非常重要的影响)”可推断,本段主要讲述垂直森林项目的积极影响。故选D。
D
Have you ever spent half an hour searching the Internet which, as you find out afterwards, lasted three hours, or opened a book shortly after breakfast and a little while later noticed that the room was getting darker?
Most people can remember experiencing such a state. Your mind wasn't wandering; you were totally focused and concentrated on that activity, to such an extent that you were not even aware of yourself. Psychologists call these fully absorbing experiences flow states, which were discovered and named by a world-famous psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. His celebrated book Flow: The Psychology of Happiness became an instant best-seller, making its way to the top self-help classics.
The state of flow happens under very specific conditions-when we encounter a challenge that is testing for our skills, and yet our skills and capacities are such that it is just about possible to meet this challenge. So both the challenge and the skills are at high levels, stretching us almost to the limit. If challenges exceed skills, one can become anxious. If skills exceed challenges, we usually become bored. Neither of these two cases result in flow.
What is also interesting in flow is the almost total absence of emotions during the actual process. One seems to be almost beyond experiencing emotions, most likely because the awareness of self is not present. Mihaly himself is also very much aware of the potential negative impact of the flow. One philosopher once describes his own experience of flow: “When I get totally involved in the conversation, I am not aware of myself, the world around or the passage of time. Sometimes, I may become addictive to that existence, unwilling to cope with other daily routines of life, like forgetting dinner, and saying goodbye to my children.”
12. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?
A. To offer a general background of the topic. B. To make an overall outline for the passage.
C. To introduce the topic of the passage. D. To clarify the definition of the topic.
13. In which of the following experience can we enter "flow state"?
A. Adopting a dog. B. Watching TV.
C. Playing the chess. D. Arguing with others.
14. What can we infer from the third paragraph?
A. The state of flow is little conditional. B. Genius at normal schools often gets bored.
C. Challenges at high levels push us to the limit. D. Skills play the most important part in flow.
15. Why does the writer quote the philosopher's words?
A. To show the drawbacks of the flow. B. To stress the value of self-awareness.
C. To underline the absence of emotions. D. To indicate the difficulty of enjoying the flow.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了“心流状态”这一心理活动现象,指的是你没有走神,完全专注于这个活动,以至于你甚至没有意识到你自己。介绍了“心流状态”发生的条件以及缺点。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Have you ever spent half an hour searching the Internet which, as you find out afterwards, lasted three hours, or opened a book shortly after breakfast and a little while later noticed that the room was getting darker?(你是否曾经花了半个小时在网上搜索,结果发现持续了三个小时;或者你是否曾在早餐后不久打开一本书,不一会儿就发现房间变暗了?)”以及第二段中“Most people can remember experiencing such a state. Your mind wasn't wandering; you were totally focused and concentrated on that activity, to such an extent that you were not even aware of yourself. Psychologists call these fully absorbing experiences flow states, which were discovered and named by a world-famous psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. (大多数人都记得经历过这种状态。你没有走神;你完全专注于这个活动,以至于你甚至没有意识到你自己。心理学家称这些完全吸收的体验为心流状态,这是由世界著名心理学家米哈里·契克森米哈里发现并命名的)”可推知,第一段的目的是为了第二段关于“心流状态”的文章主题。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“The state of flow happens under very specific conditions-when we encounter a challenge that is testing for our skills, and yet our skills and capacities are such that it is just about possible to meet this challenge. So both the challenge and the skills are at high levels, stretching us almost to the limit.(心流的状态发生在非常特定的条件下——当我们遇到一个考验我们技能的挑战时,而我们的技能和能力刚好可以应对这个挑战。 所以挑战和技能都是高水平的,几乎把我们拉伸到极限)”可推知,四个选项中只有“下棋”可以考验我们的技能,而我们的能力也可以应对这个挑战,能让我们可以进入“心流状态”。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“If challenges exceed skills, one can become anxious. If skills exceed challenges, we usually become bored.(如果挑战超过了技能,人就会变得焦虑。如果技能超过了挑战,我们通常会感到无聊)”可推知,天才属于技能超过了挑战,所以在普通学校经常感到无聊。故选B。
15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Mihaly himself is also very much aware of the potential negative impact of the flow. One philosopher once describes his own experience of flow: “When I get totally involved in the conversation, I am not aware of myself, the world around or the passage of time. Sometimes, I may become addictive to that existence, unwilling to cope with other daily routines of life, like forgetting dinner, and saying goodbye to my children.”(米哈里本人也非常清楚流的潜在负面影响。一位哲学家曾描述过他自己的心流体验:“当我完全投入到对话中,我不会意识到自己、周围的世界或时间的流逝。有时候,我可能会对这种存在上瘾,不愿意处理其他日常生活的常规,比如忘记吃饭,和孩子们说再见。”)”可推知,作者引用哲学家的话是为了展示“心流状态”的缺点。故选A。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Humour is a phenomenon influenced by culture. It can be difficult to determine what aspects form a certain sense of humour. How funny somebody finds a certain incident depends on many aspects including age, personal experience, level of education and geographical location. A nation’s sense of humour is linked to the historical development of the country. ___16___
But what about when both countries speak the same mother tongue? Will they then share the same sense of humour or can differences still occur? Let’s take the example of Britain and America. ___17___ To what degree is this true, if at all?
Recent research proves that there are two major differences between British and American sense of humour. ___18___ However, it’s not shared by Americans. For example, if a British man lost his new and favourite mobile phone in the toilet, he just said “Well done! That’s just what I need.”
___19___ And that kind of jokes is called negative humour by researchers. British men and women use it on a daily basis, while it is not the case of American humour. What Americans don’t understand is the need to use it so frequently. When Americans use negative humour, they tend to state that they were “only kidding”.
Although the British really do have a unique sense of humour, quite different to American humour, they can both appreciate the other’s sense of humour. Therefore, some shows describe a lifestyle which both Americans and the British alike can relate to. ___20___
A. British jokes tend to have a hidden meaning.
B. Thus humour can’t always be conveyed in another country.
C. Americans and the British often share the same sense of humour.

【答案】16. B 17. F 18. D 19. E 20. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了影响幽默的因素以及英国和美国幽默感的不同之处。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Humour is a phenomenon influenced by culture. It can be difficult to determine what aspects form a certain sense of humour. How funny somebody finds a certain incident depends on many aspects including age, personal experience, level of education and geographical location. A nation’s sense of humour is linked to the historical development of the country.(幽默是一种受文化影响的现象。很难确定是哪些方面构成了某种幽默感。一个人觉得某件事有多有趣取决于很多方面,包括年龄、个人经历、教育水平和地理位置。一个民族的幽默感与这个国家的历史发展息息相关)”可知,上文提到了影响幽默的因素,以及一个民族的幽默感与这个国家的历史发展息息相关,本句为本段最后一句,与上文构成因果关系,指出这些因素对幽默的影响:幽默在另一个国家并不总是能被传达。故B选项“因此,幽默在另一个国家并不总是能被传达。”符合语境,故选B。
【17题详解】
根据上文“But what about when both countries speak the same mother tongue? Will they then share the same sense of humour or can differences still occur? Let’s take the example of Britain and America.(但是如果两国都说同一种母语呢?他们会有相同的幽默感吗?还是仍然会有差异?让我们以英国和美国为例)”可知,本句应承接上文,展开说明在幽默感上美国人和英国人的不同。故F选项“人们说美国人和英国人很难理解彼此的笑话。”也承接下文第三段首句“Recent research proves that there are two major differences between British and American sense of humour.(最近的研究证明,英国人和美国人的幽默感有两个主要的不同)”,故选F。
18题详解】
根据上文“Recent research proves that there are two major differences between British and American sense of humour.(最近的研究证明,英国人和美国人的幽默感有两个主要的不同)”提到英美幽默是有差异的以及后文“However, it’s not shared by Americans. For example, if a British man lost his new and favourite mobile phone in the toilet, he just said “Well done! That’s just what I need.”(然而,美国人却无法理解它。例如,如果一名英国男子在厕所里丢失了他最喜欢的新手机,他只会说:“干得好!这正是我需要的。”)”可知,D选项“与你想说的相反的幽默被认为是典型的英式幽默。”承接后文所讲的英式幽默例子,也与英式幽默不被美国人理解构成转折,本句旨在说明英式幽默,故选D。
【19题详解】
根据后文“And that kind of jokes is called negative humour by researchers. British men and women use it on a daily basis, while it is not the case of American humour. What Americans don’t understand is the need to use it so frequently. When Americans use negative humour, they tend to state that they were “only kidding”.(这种笑话被研究人员称为消极幽默。英国人每天都在使用它,而美国人的幽默却不是这样。美国人不明白的是为什么要这么频繁地使用它。当美国人使用消极幽默时,他们倾向于说他们“只是在开玩笑”)”可知,本段主要是关于英国人和美国人使用消极幽默(拿生活的黑暗面开玩笑)的区别。故E选项“另一个不同点是,人们经常拿生活的黑暗面开玩笑。”符合语境,故选E。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Although the British really do have a unique sense of humour, quite different to American humour, they can both appreciate the other’s sense of humour. Therefore, some shows describe a lifestyle which both Americans and the British alike can relate to.(虽然英国人确实有一种独特的幽默感,与美国人的幽默感大不相同,但他们都能欣赏对方的幽默感。因此,一些节目描述了一种美国人和英国人都能感兴趣的生活方式)”可知,本句为本段最后一句,应结合上文举例说明电视节目,G选项中Comedies对应上文中some shows。故G选项“喜剧《办公室》(英国)和《办公室》(美国)在这两个国家都很受欢迎。”符合语境,故选G。

【点睛】完型填空之逻辑关系中的转折关系
逻辑关系中的转折关系是完型填空题中考查频率较高的一种关系。常用逻辑连接词有:but; yet;however;on the contrary;on the other hand。做到此类题目时,根据选项可判断要进行逻辑关系判断,首先需要判断前后两句的逻辑关系,然后根据逻辑关系选出正确的逻辑连接词。比如文章的第
With the 80-year-old birthday ___4___ , Charo intended to prepare for it, which fell just days after the ___5___ . At the thought of the lockdown, ___6___ , the urge to celebrate it wasn't as particularly strong as ever.
6. A. however B. anyway C. otherwise D. besides
分析这道题的四个选项,就是让我们选择逻辑关系词,所以,我们首先要判断前后两句的逻辑关系。上文“With the 80-year-old birthday ___4___ , Charo intended to prepare for it, which fell just days after the ___5___ . ”表达了Charo想要好好准备自己的80岁生日,而这句“the urge to celebrate it wasn’t as particularly strong as ever”表达了她不太想要庆祝生日的含义,从这两句话,我们可以分析出来是转折关系。因此,纵观四个选项,A. however(然而),转折关系;B. anyway(不管怎样)让不关系;C. otherwise(否则;要不然)表示让步;D. besides(而且)递进关系。因此A项为答案。

【42题详解】

【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:那么,月球或火星有什么问题呢?固定结构what is wrong with sb./sth.?……出什么问题。故填with。
【44题详解】

【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:把移民送到这些遥远的地方既费时又危险。连词and是形容词time-consuming,所以空格处应填入形容词作表语。故填dangerous。
【46题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:此外,一条信息从地球到火星需要长达44分钟的时间,这使得快速通信成为不可能。句中已有谓语动词,所以用非谓语动词形式。形式主语(前面的整个句子)与动词make是主动关系,所以用现在分词作状语。故填making。
【47题详解】
考查冠词。句意:然而,一个环绕地球的空间站只有几个小时的路程,这使得旅行更便宜,通信也相对容易。空格后名词space station是单数形式且以辅音音素开头。故填a。
【48题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:一个环绕地球的空间站只有几个小时的路程,这使得旅行更便宜,通信也相对容易。句中先行词为整个句子,在非限制性定语从句中充当主语,所以用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【49题详解】
考查副词。句意:然而,一个环绕地球的空间站只有几个小时的路程,这使得旅行更便宜,通信也相对容易。形容词easy前用副词修饰。故填relatively。
【50题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:然而,在空间站上,可以提供太阳的能量,这支持人类一天24小时生活在那里。陈述客观事实,用一般现在时。先行词which指代的是前面的句子,所以从句谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填supports。

【导语】本文为一篇说明文,讲述了每天半小时的电子游戏能让青少年变得更聪明,但每天跑15分钟也有同样的效果。
【详解】1.考查连词。句意:也许你的老师和父母曾经告诉过你很多次玩电子游戏是不好的。此处that引导的宾语从句中,playing video games为动名词做主语,is是系动词,bad做表语,when是多余的。故去掉when。
2.考查主谓一致。句意:它不利于你的睡眠,并且影响你的学习。It做主语,为三人称单数,且本篇陈述事实,故用一般现在时,故谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故将make改为makes。
3.考查副词。句意:然而,这并不一定是真的。根据句意可知,前文说“似乎玩电子游戏没有什么好处”与此句构成转折关系,故将Besides改为However。
4.考查形容词。句意:然而,这并不一定是真的。分析可知,此处应用形容词做表语,故将truly改为true。
5.考查冠词。句意:在一项研究中,人们每天玩半个小时电子游戏。“半小时”表达为half an hour或者a half hour,故在half后加an或者half前加a。
6.考查时态。句意:科学家发现他们大脑中的某些部位变得更大了。根据本句中的found可知,研究结果是过去得到的,故应用一般过去时,故将get改为got。
7.考查定语从句。句意:它们是大脑中人们解决问题的区域。此句中the areas为先行词,指物,后跟定语从句,从句中缺少主语,故应用that/which引导,故将where改为that/which。
8.考查形容词。句意:当青少年听到这个消息时,这将会是令人激动的一刻。It作主语,指物,故应用exciting“令人激动的”修饰,故将excited改为exciting。
9.考查代词。句意:他们可以告诉他们的父母亲,电子游戏能让他们变得更聪明。此句主语为they,故后文代词应为their,故将your改为their。
10.考查动名词。句意:每天跑步15分钟也能让人变得更聪明。此处作主语,应用run的动名词形式,故将Run改为Running。
