20、Text 2 Text 3 Today, widespread social pressure to immediately go to college in conjunction with increasingly high expectations in a fast-moving world often causes students
21、160;to completely overlook the possibility of taking a gap year. After all, if everyone you know is going to college in the fall, it seems silly to stay back
22、60;a year, doesn't it? And after going to school for 12 years, itdoesn't feel natural to spend a year doing something that isnt academic. But while this may&
23、#160;be true, its not a good enough reason to condemn gap years. There's always a constant fear of falling behind everyone else on the socially perpetuated “race
24、;to the finish line,” whether that be toward graduate school, medical school or lucrative career. But despite common misconceptions, a gap year does not hinder the succes
25、s of academic pursuitsin fact, it probably enhances it. Studies from the United States and Australia show that students who take a gap year are generally better prep
26、ared for and perform better in college than those who do not. Rather than pulling students back, a gap year pushes them ahead by preparing them for independence,
27、0;new responsibilities and environmental changes all things that first-year students often struggle with the most. Gap year experiences can lessen the blow when it comes to
28、60;adjusting to college and being thrown into a brand new environment, making it easier to focus on academics and activities rather than acclimation blunders. If you're
29、60;not convinced of the inherent value in taking a year off to explore interests, then consider its financial impact on future academic choices. According to the National
30、 Center for Education Statistics, nearly 80 percent of college students end up changing their majors at least once. This isnt surprising, considering the basic mandatory
31、high school curriculum leaves students with a poor understanding of themselves listing one major on their college applications, but switching to another after taking college c
32、lasses. Its not necessarily a bad thing, but depending on the school, it can be costly to make up credits after switching too late in the game. At Boston C

40、 Text 4 Though often viewed as a problem for western states, the growing frequency of wildfires is a national concern because of its impact on federal tax dolla
41、rs, says Professor Max Moritz, a specialist in fire ecology and management. In 2015, the US Forest Service for the first time spent more than half of its $5.5
42、160;billion annual budget fighting fires-nearly double the percentage it spent on such efforts 20 years ago. In effect, fewer federal funds today are going towards the ag
43、ency's other work such as forest conservation, watershed and cultural resources management, and infrastructure upkeepthat affect the lives of all Americans. Another nationwide conce
44、rn is whether public funds from other agencies are going into construction in fire-prone districts. As Moritz puts it, how often are federal dollars building homes that
45、160;are likely to be lost to a wildfire? “Its already a huge problem from a public expenditure perspective for the whole country,” he says. We need to take a
46、60;magnifying glass to that. Like, “Wait a minute, is this OK?”“Do we want instead to redirect those funds to concentrate on lower-hazard parts of the landscape?” Such
47、60;a view would require a corresponding shift in the way US society today views fire, researchers say. For one thing, conversations about wildfires need to be more i
48、nclusive. Over the past decade, the focus has been on climate changehow the warming of the Earth from greenhouse gases is leading to conditions that worsen fires. Wh
49、ile climate is a key element, Moritz says, it shouldnt come at the expense of the rest of the equation. “The human systems and the landscapes we live on ar
50、e linked, and the interactions go both ways," he says. Failing to recognize that, he notes, leads to "an overly simplified view of what the solutions might
51、;be. Our perception of the problem and of what the solution is becomes very limited.” At the same time, people continue to treat fire as an event that needs
52、0;to be wholly controlled and unleashed only out of necessity, says Professor Balch at the University of Colorado. But acknowledging fire's inevitable presence in human li
53、fe is an attitude crucial to developing the laws, policies, and practices that make it as safe as possible, she says. “Weve disconnected ourselves from living with f
54、ire,” Balch says. “It is really important to understand and try and tease out what is the human connection with fire today.” 36.More frequent wildfires have become a
55、 national concern because in 2015 they_. Aexhausted unprecedented management efforts Bconsumed a record-high percentage of budget Cseverely damaged the ecology of western states Dc
56、aused a huge rise of infrastructure expenditure 37.Moritz calls for the use of "a magnifying glass" to _.Araise more funds for fire-prone areas Bavoid the redi
57、rection of federal moneyCfind wildfire-free parts of the landscape Dguarantee safer spending of public funds 38.While admitting that climate is a key element, Moritz notes
58、60;that _.Apublic debates have not settled yet Bfire-fighting conditions are improving Cother factors should not be overlooked Da shift in the view of fire has taken plac
59、e 39.The overly simplified view Moritz mentions is a result of failing to _. Adiscover the fundamental makeup of nature Bexplore the mechanism of the human systems&

63、;points) The decline in American manufacturing is a common refrain, particularly from Donald Trump. "We don't make anything anymore," he told Fox News, while defendin
64、g his own made-in-Mexico clothing line. Without question, manufacturing has taken a significant hit during recent decades, and further trade deals raise questions about whether
65、0;new shocks could hit manufacturing.But there is also a different way to look at the data. Across the country, factory owners are now grappling with a new challenge
66、: instead of having too many workers, they may end up with too few. Despite trade competition and outsourcing, American manufacturing still needs to replace tens of
67、thousands of retiring boomers every years. Millennials may not be that interested in taking their place, other industries are recruiting them with similar or better pay.
68、For factory owners, it all adds up to stiff competition for workers and upward pressure on wages. "They're harder to find and they have job offers," says
69、60;Jay Dunwell, president of Wolverine Coil Spring, a family-owned firm, "They may be coming into the workforce, but they've been plucked by other industries that are
70、 also doing an well as manufacturing," Mr. Dunwell has begun bringing high school juniors to the factory so they can get exposed to its culture. At RoMan M
71、anufacturing, a maker of electrical transformers and welding equipment that his father cofounded in 1980, Robert Roth keep a close eye on the age of his nearly 200
72、160;workers, five are retiring this year. Mr. Roth has three community-college students enrolled in a work-placement program, with a starting wage of $13 an hour that ris
73、es to $17 after two years. At a worktable inside the transformer plant, young Jason Stenquist looks flustered by the copper coils he's trying to assemble and the
74、 arrival of two visitors. It's his first week on the job. Asked about his choice of career, he says at high school he considered medical school before switc
75、hing to electrical engineering. "I love working with tools. I love creating." he says. But to win over these young workers, manufacturers have to clear another
76、major hurdle: parents, who lived through the worst US economic downturn since the Great Depression, telling them to avoid the factory. Millennials "remember their father
77、and mother both were laid off. They blame it on the manufacturing recession," says Birgit Klohs, chief executive of The Right Place, a business development agency fo
78、r western Michigan. These concerns aren't misplaced: Employment in manufacturing has fallen from 17 million in 1970 to 12 million in 2013. When the recovery began, wo
79、rker shortages first appeared in the high-skilled trades. Now shortages are appearing at the mid-skill levels. "The gap is between the jobs that take to skills and
80、160;those that require a lot of skill," says Rob Spohr, a business professor at Montcalm Community College. "There're enough people to fill the jobs at McDonalds
81、 and other places where you don't need to have much skill. It's that gap in between, and that's where the problem is." Julie Parks of Grand Rapids
82、160;Community points to another key to luring Millennials into manufacturing: a work/life balance. While their parents were content to work long hours, young people value flex
83、ibility. "Overtime is not attractive to this generation. They really want to live their lives," she says.Section III Translation Directions: Read the following text caref

85、60;work somewhere in an area between fashion and publishing. Two years before graduating from secondary school, I took a sewing and design course thinking that I would
86、60;move on to a fashion design course. However, during that course I realised that I was not good enough in this area to compete with other creative personalities
87、60;in the future, so I decided that it was not the right path for me. Before applying for university I told everyone that I would study journalism, because writ
88、ing was, and still is, one of my favourite activities. But, to be absolutely honest, I said it, because I thought that fashion and me together was just a d
89、ream - I knew that no one, apart from myself, could imagine me in the fashion industry at all! Section IV Writing Part A 參考答案 1. C空格之后的賓語從句部分“tech
90、nology is replacing human workers.”結(jié)合選項,應(yīng)該選擇warning。 2. A空格單詞后面的句意看到了貧富對比,故作為上文對其進行概括關(guān)鍵應(yīng)選擇inequality。 3. D空格之后的內(nèi)容 “holds that the future will be a wasteland of a d
91、ifferent sort,”該定語從句是對空格詞匯的修飾與說明,既然文中用到了will 這一個表示將來時態(tài)的助動詞,故答案為prediction。 4. A one 4 by purposelessness。其他三項均不符合,故排除。 5. B Without jobs to give their lives 5 , people
92、160;will simply become lazy and depressed.空格所在句后面的表述與空格前的內(nèi)容屬于并列關(guān)系,由逗號連接。答案選擇meaning。A wisdom C glory D freedom 這些選項都表示褒義色彩和后面 lazy、depressed 矛盾。 6. B分析下四個選項可以看出并無體現(xiàn)因果關(guān)系故A Thus排除,另外instead,neverthe
93、less 表示轉(zhuǎn)折語意,但是上下文邏輯并無體現(xiàn)。 7. C One Gallup poll found that 20 percent of Americans who have been unemployed for at least a year report having depression, doubl
94、e the rate for 7 Americans.根據(jù)上下文對比的語意對照應(yīng)該選擇working。前面提到unemployed 。此處在進行對比,故選擇表示反義呼應(yīng)的詞working。 8. A some research suggests that the 8 for rising rates of mortality, mental-health
95、0;problems, and addicting 9 poorly-educated middle-aged people is shortage of well-paid jobs. 9. D很明顯應(yīng)該指前者的發(fā)生范圍。瀏覽四個選項,among“在.中”表示范圍,符合此處語義需要,故為答案。 10. C Perhaps this is why

98、 employment.答案的線索在于空格后面的介詞短語,后面提到being unemployed。這是貶義。其他選項均不符條件。 13 . A In the 13 of work, a society designed with other ends in mind could 14 strikingly different c

100、mstances for the future of labor and leisure.該空格所選詞匯的主語是a society 賓語是different circumstances.根據(jù)主謂一致的原則應(yīng)該選擇yield。語義為:產(chǎn)生。 15. C overblown.一詞為解題線索。含義:吹散吹倒表貶義。后面的內(nèi)容Many jobs are boring, degrading, unhea

107、的小朋友到祖父母年紀(jì)的人都有;跑步所用的時間跨度也很大:從世界紀(jì)錄的13分48秒到一個小時。由此可見,這是一個全民運動,與A選項的 great popularity相互對應(yīng),所以選A. 其他選項,B創(chuàng)造了很多就業(yè)機會;C增強了社會的凝聚力;D成為一個官方的節(jié)日;這幾個選項原文中都沒有涉及,所以排除。 22.【答案】B 【解析】可以發(fā)現(xiàn)原文中第二段第一句話Parkrun is succeeding where Londons Olympic “l(fā)egacy” is&
108、#160;failing與題干中的關(guān)鍵詞 Londons Olympic “l(fā)egacy” has failed to.對應(yīng),所以可以鎖定文章的第二段,從而找出解題的關(guān)鍵。第二段前半部分講了在最初的時候Olympic的目標(biāo),然而,事實卻事與愿違,.but the general population was growing faster. Worse, the numbers are now falling at an accelerating rate. 由這句話可以看出,Olympic并沒有推動大眾的參與性,與預(yù)期的目標(biāo)不符,所以選擇B。23.【答案】C 【解析】
