Susan Sontag (1933—2004) was one of the most noticeable figures in the world of literature. For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything—to read every book worth reading, to see every movie worth seeing. When she was still in her early 30s, publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review, she appeared as the symbol of American culture life, trying hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art. With great effort and serious judgment, Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture.
Seriousness was one of Sontag’s lifelong mottos, but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poorly-educated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasure of pop culture. In Notes Camp, the 1964 essay that first made her name, she explained what was then a little-known set of difficult understandings, through which she could not have been more famous. Notes on Camp, she wrote, represents “a victory of ‘form’ over ‘content’, ‘beauty’ over ‘morals’”.
By conviction(信念) she was a sensualist(感觉论者), but by nature she was a moralist, and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s, it was the latter side of her that came forward. In Illness as Metaphor—published in 1978, after she suffered cancer—she argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed (被压抑的) personalities, a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease. In fact, re-examining old concepts was her lifelong habit.
In America, her story of a 19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California, won the National Book Award in 2000. But what made her achieve lasting fame was a tireless, all-purpose cultural view.
“Sometimes,” she once said, “I feel that, in the end, all I am really defending… is the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.” And in the end, she made us take it seriously too.
41. It is implied but not stated in the first paragraph that Sontag .
A. was a symbol of American cultural life
B. developed world literature, film and arts
C. published many essays about world culture
D. kept pace with the newest development of world culture
42. She first won her name through .
A publishing essays in magazines like Partisan Review
B. her story of a Polish actress
C. her explanation of a set of difficult understandings
D. her book Illness as Metaphor
43. From the works Susan published in the 1970s and 1980s, we can learn that .
A. she was more of a moralist than a sensualist
B. she was more of a sensualist than a moralist
C. she believed repressed personalities mainly led to illness
D. She would like to re-examine old positions
44. According to the passage, Susan Sontag would agree to the ideas except .
A. We should try hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art.
B. Cancer can be defeated because it is a special problem of repressed personalities.
C. ‘Form’ should be over ‘content’, ‘beauty’ should be over ‘morals’.
D. We should defend the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.
45. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A lifelong motto: seriousness.
B. Susan Sontag is the symbol of American culture.
C. How Susan Sontag became famous.
D. An introduction to Susan Sontag and her motto.
C
There’s a whole lot of things that people fill their stomachs with. Some of them keep people alive. Some of them taste good to people. Some of them help people win pie-eating contests. Alcohol does none of those things. Why do people keep drinking it? And what does it do once it gets to their stomachs?
There are all kinds of alcohol molecules (分子),but the one that people most often pour down their throat is ethanol (乙醇).Ethanol is very tiny and it dissolves in water, so it gets into all sorts of places that it’s not supposed to. Alcohol heads for the digestive system. Because it dissolves in water, it can get into the water in the bloodstream. Because ethanol, to a certain extent, can pass through cell membranes (膜). It can go almost anywhere. It spreads through the muscles, and is sweated — unmetabolized (未经新陈代新) and whole — through the skin. It gets into the heart. It even takes a walk through the brain, and this is the secret of its powers.
Alcohol depresses the nerves, and the nerves affect almost every area of the body. Enough alcohol makes people sleep, so people who become unconscious choke on their own vomit (呕吐物). Most worryingly, enough alcohol can shut down those parts of the brain just like any other parts. People become unconscious and their brains simply forget to breathe.
Alcohol is broken down in the liver. Alcohol doesn’t destroy the liver, but products that the liver breaks the alcohol into do cause damage. A glass of wine per day can not do any harm. Instead, it can prevent heart attacks or can make someone functionally young. And it is kind of nice to know that sometimes, relaxation and cheer can be bottled. All that’s needed is to take care how much alcohol is let into a person’s brain.
46. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By statement. B. By question. C. By arguing. D. By explaining.
47. Why can Alcohol reach the brain?
A. Because it can move through water molecules in the blood.
B. Because it is small enough to get through any narrow space.
C. Because it is so light that the bloodstream can transport it.
D. Because it is absorbed only by the cells in the stomach.
48. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. Alcohol affects the work of the nerves.
B. Alcohol has an effect on people’s breath.
C. People are drunk when their brains get drunk.
D. Drinking too much is quite dangerous.
49. From the passage, we can know ________.
A. many people like a drink when they feel relaxed
B. enough alcohol can control the brain activities
C. alcohol damage the liver indirectly
D. proper alcohol may lead to better sleep
50. What suggestion does the author give on drinking alcohol?
A. Controlling the time of drinking.
B. Controlling the amount of drinking.
C. Choosing the kind of drink.
D. Choosing the place of drinking.
D
For as long as there have been gifts, we naturally make choices based on the recipient (接受者). But what if we have been wrong all along and that we could turn things around, which not only made gift buying easier, but the recipient happier?
In 2015, psychologists Lauren Human and Lara Aknin conducted an online survey, which suggested that when people buy gifts, they prefer to choose something based on the recipient’s personality and tastes. Most people also said that they preferred receiving gifts bought with them in mind: gifts for them.
But Human and Aknin wondered if this approach to giving failed to take advantage of the way we connect as people. So they sent 78 volunteers into a shopping centre before Mother’s Day. Half were told to buy a card that “reveals(揭示) your knowledge of the recipient” while the others set out to buy a card that “reveals your true self”. After the purchase, the givers who had thought partly of themselves reported feeling emotionally closer to their mothers.
To find out how that approach goes down with recipients, the psychologists did another test, asking more than 100 students to choose a song on iTunes to give to a friend, partner or family member. Each half of the group received the same instructions as the card buyers. Results revealed that recipients of songs that revealed something of the givers felt closer to them than those who received gifts bought only with them in mind.
Human and Aknin suggest it might apply to all gifts. “If building stronger social connections is the underlying (潜在的) goal” of a gift and surely it should be—then we “may well be advised to offer more self-reflective gifts”. In short, for a present to be meaningful, you need to give away a bit of yourself, even if there is a risk that the gift might not so closely suit the recipient’s practical needs or tastes as one acquired purely with that in mind.
Moreover, giving something of oneself can be a safer act, the psychologists added. Because it reduces the risk of revealing poor knowledge of a recipient by attempting to buy something that fits their character—and failing.
But a note of caution here: what the research does not examine is the potential risk in repeated, unsympathetic giver-centered giving, which, according to Human and Aknin “could signal self-obsession” —and nobody wants to reveal that about themselves.
51. From the Mother’s Day card test, we can conclude that ________.
A. gifts chosen with the giver in mind work well on the giver
B. most people choose gifts with the recipient in mind
C. most people choose gifts based on their personal tastes
D. gifts chosen with the giver in mind work well on the recipient
52. What do the underlined words “them, them” refer to in order of appearance?
A. The recipients; the givers. B. The givers; the recipients.
C. The givers; the givers. D. The recipients; the recipients.
53. What does the author think is the significance of gift giving?
A. Making the giver’s life happier.
B. Showing one’s knowledge of the recipient.
C. Establishing and strengthening social connections.
D. Meeting the recipient’s practical needs.
54. Which of the following is Human and Aknin’s advice on gift giving?
A. Choose gifts that reflect more of yourself.
B. Just focus on your own tastes when choosing gifts.
C. Buy something that fits the recipient’s character most.
D. Be careful not to signal your true personality.
55. Which is the best title of this passage?
A. The tradition of gift giving. B. The purpose of gift giving.
C. The effect of gift giving. D. The psychology of gift giving.

Susan Sontag (1933—2004) was one of the most noticeable figures in the world of literature. For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything—to read every book worth reading, to see every movie worth seeing. When she was still in her early 30s, publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review, she appeared as the symbol of American culture life, trying hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art. With great effort and serious judgment, Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture.
Seriousness was one of Sontag’s lifelong mottos, but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poorly-educated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasure of pop culture. In Notes Camp, the 1964 essay that first made her name, she explained what was then a little-known set of difficult understandings, through which she could not have been more famous. Notes on Camp, she wrote, represents “a victory of ‘form’ over ‘content’, ‘beauty’ over ‘morals’”.
By conviction(信念) she was a sensualist(感觉论者), but by nature she was a moralist, and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s, it was the latter side of her that came forward. In Illness as Metaphor—published in 1978, after she suffered cancer—she argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed (被压抑的) personalities, a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease. In fact, re-examining old concepts was her lifelong habit.
In America, her story of a 19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California, won the National Book Award in 2000. But what made her achieve lasting fame was a tireless, all-purpose cultural view.
“Sometimes,” she once said, “I feel that, in the end, all I am really defending… is the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.” And in the end, she made us take it seriously too.
41. It is implied but not stated in the first paragraph that Sontag .
A. was a symbol of American cultural life
B. developed world literature, film and arts
C. published many essays about world culture
D. kept pace with the newest development of world culture
42. She first won her name through .
A. publishing essays in magazines like Partisan Review
B. her story of a Polish actress
C. her explanation of a set of difficult understandings
D. her book Illness as Metaphor
43. From the works Susan published in the 1970s and 1980s, we can learn that .
A. she was more of a moralist than a sensualist
B she was more of a sensualist than a moralist
C. she believed repressed personalities mainly led to illness
D. She would like to re-examine old positions
44. According to the passage, Susan Sontag would agree to the ideas except .
A. We should try hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art.
B. Cancer can be defeated because it is a special problem of repressed personalities.
C. ‘Form’ should be over ‘content’, ‘beauty’ should be over ‘morals’.
D. We should defend the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.
45. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A lifelong motto: seriousness.
B. Susan Sontag is the symbol of American culture.
C. How Susan Sontag became famous.
D. An introduction to Susan Sontag and her motto.
【答案】41. D 42. C 43. A 44. B 45. D

C
There’s a whole lot of things that people fill their stomachs with. Some of them keep people alive. Some of them taste good to people. Some of them help people win pie-eating contests. Alcohol does none of those things. Why do people keep drinking it? And what does it do once it gets to their stomachs?
There are all kinds of alcohol molecules (分子),but the one that people most often pour down their throat is ethanol (乙醇).Ethanol is very tiny and it dissolves in water, so it gets into all sorts of places that it’s not supposed to. Alcohol heads for the digestive system. Because it dissolves in water, it can get into the water in the bloodstream. Because ethanol, to a certain extent, can pass through cell membranes (膜). It can go almost anywhere. It spreads through the muscles, and is sweated — unmetabolized (未经新陈代新的) and whole — through the skin. It gets into the heart. It even takes a walk through the brain, and this is the secret of its powers.
Alcohol depresses the nerves, and the nerves affect almost every area of the body. Enough alcohol makes people sleep, so people who become unconscious choke on their own vomit (呕吐物). Most worryingly, enough alcohol can shut down those parts of the brain just like any other parts. People become unconscious and their brains simply forget to breathe.
Alcohol is broken down in the liver. Alcohol doesn’t destroy the liver, but products that the liver breaks the alcohol into do cause damage. A glass of wine per day can not do any harm. Instead, it can prevent heart attacks or can make someone functionally young. And it is kind of nice to know that sometimes, relaxation and cheer can be bottled. All that’s needed is to take care how much alcohol is let into a person’s brain.
46. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By statement. B. By question. C. By arguing. D. By explaining.
47. Why can Alcohol reach the brain?
A. Because it can move through water molecules in the blood.
B. Because it is small enough to get through any narrow space.
C. Because it is so light that the bloodstream can transport it.
D. Because it is absorbed only by the cells in the stomach.
48. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. Alcohol affects the work of the nerves.
B. Alcohol has an effect on people’s breath.
C. People are drunk when their brains get drunk.
D. Drinking too much is quite dangerous.
49. From the passage, we can know ________.
A. many people like a drink when they feel relaxed
B. enough alcohol can control the brain activities
C. alcohol damage the liver indirectly
D. proper alcohol may lead to better sleep
50. What suggestion does the author give on drinking alcohol?
A. Controlling the time of drinking.
B. Controlling the amount of drinking.
C. Choosing the kind of drink.
D. Choosing the place of drinking.
【答案】46. B 47. A 48. D 49. C 50. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了酒精是如何进入人的大脑的、过度饮酒的危害以及建议大家要控制饮酒量。
【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Why do people keep drinking it? And what does it do once it gets to their stomachs?(为什么人们总是喝它?它到达它们的胃后会做什么?)”可推断,本文作者是通过提问的方式来介绍文章的主题。故选B。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Ethanol is very tiny and it dissolves in water, so it gets into all sorts of places that it’s not supposed to. Alcohol heads for the digestive system. Because it dissolves in water, it can get into the water in the bloodstream.…It even takes a walk through the brain, and this is the secret of its powers.(乙醇非常小,能溶于水,所以它会进入各种不该进入的地方。酒精会进入消化系统。因为它溶于水,所以它可以进入血液中的水。……它甚至会穿过大脑,这就是它力量的秘密。)”可推知,酒精会到达大脑是因为它可以通过血液中的水分子移动。故选A。
48题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Alcohol depresses the nerves, and the nerves affect almost every area of the body.(酒精会抑制神经,而神经会影响到身体的每一个部位。)”可知,第三段主要讲述的是酒精的危害。故选D。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Alcohol doesn’t destroy the liver, but products that the liver breaks the alcohol into do cause damage.(酒精不会破坏肝脏,但肝脏将酒精分解成的产品确实会造成损害。)”可知,酒精间接损害肝脏。故选C。
【50题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“A glass of wine per day can not do any harm. Instead, it can prevent heart attacks or can make someone functionally young. And it is kind of nice to know that sometimes, relaxation and cheer can be bottled. All that’s needed is to take care how much alcohol is let into a person’s brain.(每天喝一杯酒不会有什么坏处。相反,它可以预防心脏病发作,或者让人变得年轻。有时候,知道放松和欢乐可以装在瓶中是一种很好的感觉。所需要做的就是注意进入大脑的酒精量。)”可知,作者建议大家控制饮酒量。故选B。
D
For as long as there have been gifts, we naturally make choices based on the recipient (接受者). But what if we have been wrong all along and that we could turn things around, which not only made gift buying easier, but the recipient happier?
In 2015, psychologists Lauren Human and Lara Aknin conducted an online survey, which suggested that when people buy gifts, they prefer to choose something based on the recipient’s personality and tastes. Most people also said that they preferred receiving gifts bought with them in mind: gifts for them.
But Human and Aknin wondered if this approach to giving failed to take advantage of the way we connect as people. So they sent 78 volunteers into a shopping centre before Mother’s Day. Half were told to buy a card that “reveals(揭示) your knowledge of the recipient” while the others set out to buy a card that “reveals your true self”. After the purchase, the givers who had thought partly of themselves reported feeling emotionally closer to their mothers.
To find out how that approach goes down with recipients, the psychologists did another test, asking more than 100 students to choose a song on iTunes to give to a friend, partner or family member. Each half of the group received the same instructions as the card buyers. Results revealed that recipients of songs that revealed something of the givers felt closer to them than those who received gifts bought only with them in mind.
Human and Aknin suggest it might apply to all gifts. “If building stronger social connections is the underlying (潜在的) goal” of a gift and surely it should be—then we “may well be advised to offer more self-reflective gifts”. In short, for a present to be meaningful, you need to give away a bit of yourself, even if there is a risk that the gift might not so closely suit the recipient’s practical needs or tastes as one acquired purely with that in mind.
Moreover, giving something of oneself can be a safer act, the psychologists added. Because it reduces the risk of revealing poor knowledge of a recipient by attempting to buy something that fits their character—and failing.
But a note of caution here: what the research does not examine is the potential risk in repeated, unsympathetic giver-centered giving, which, according to Human and Aknin “could signal self-obsession” —and nobody wants to reveal that about themselves.

【答案】51. A 52. B 53. C 54. A 55. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了科学家通过实验发现带着自己的想法给别人选礼物的人在情感上与收礼人更亲近,因此送礼时应选择更能反映送礼人的礼物。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“After the purchase, the givers who had thought partly of themselves reported feeling emotionally closer to their mothers.”可知,带着自己的想法给母亲选礼物的人说自己在情感上与母亲更亲近了,由此可知,带着自己的想法选择礼物会对送礼人很有效,故A项正确。
【52题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的前一句“Each half of the group received the same instructions as the card buyers.”可知,小组的每一半人都得到了与给母亲买贺卡的人的相同的指示,即一半人带着自己的想法给母亲选贺卡,另一半人则在选贺卡时考虑到母亲,结果显示带着自己的想法给母亲选礼物的人说自己在情感上与母亲更亲近了,由此可知,此处是说与那些只考虑收礼人的人相比,那些听了能够透露出送礼人某些信息的人感觉与送礼人更亲近了,所以第一个them指代的是送礼人,第二个them指代的是收礼人,故B项正确。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“If building stronger social connections is the underlying (潜在的) goal” of a gift and surely it should be”可知,如果建立更强大的社会关系是送礼的潜在目标,那么它当然是,由此可知,作者认为送礼的意义在于建立和加强社会联系,故C项正确。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“then we “may well be advised to offer more self-reflective gifts”可知,Human 和Aknin建议选择礼物时应该选择更能反映你自己的礼物,故A项正确。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了科学家通过实验发现带着自己的想法给别人选礼物的人说在情感上与收礼人更亲近,因此送礼时应选择更能反映送礼人的礼物,全文都是围绕“送礼与送礼时的心理”展开,由此可知D项(送礼的心理)最能概括出文章内容。
【点睛】本篇第5题主旨大意题难度较大,对实验结果的理解是关键,根据第三、四段对试验的介绍可知,科学家通过对人们买母亲节贺卡和让学生们在iTunes上给朋友或家人选择歌曲的两个试验发现带着自己的想法给别人选礼物的人在情感上与收礼人更亲近,因此送礼时应选择更能反映送礼人的礼物,全文都是围绕“送礼与送礼时的心理”而展开,由此可知D项(送礼的心理)最能概括出文章内容。
