打印收據(jù)都和實(shí)際生活不符合。應(yīng)該是B.provide提供收據(jù)。10．【答案】A（giveup）【解析】該動(dòng)詞短語的賓語是前文的something,指代上文的advantage，紙質(zhì)支票支付能夠提供收據(jù)這一優(yōu)勢(shì)，肯定是消費(fèi)者不愿放棄的。和優(yōu)勢(shì)相搭配的動(dòng)詞短語不能是B.takeover接管，也不能是C.bringback拿回來，D.passdown傳遞、遺傳也不符合。A.giveup放棄一種優(yōu)勢(shì)，符合語境，為正確答案。11.【答案】A（before）【解析】這里考查的是時(shí)間連詞的應(yīng)用。句子意思是“在支票兌換成現(xiàn)金之前要花上好幾天”，符合句意的只有before，其它三項(xiàng)都不符合。12.【答案】D（withdrawn）【解析】這里考查動(dòng)詞辨義。原文句子意思是“資金是從發(fā)卡機(jī)構(gòu)的賬戶里提取的”，withdraw有“提款、取款”的意思，這里是指紙幣從銀行賬戶中“被取出”故為正確答案。13.【答案】C（Because）【解析】這里考查的是連詞的應(yīng)用。從原文可以看出空后的兩個(gè)句子在意思上存在著因果關(guān)系，“因?yàn)殡娮又Ц妒羌锤兜?，所以消除了客戶的付款”。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有Cbecause可以表因果，其他三項(xiàng)均不能表因果。故答案為C。14.【答案】C（raise）【解析】這里考查的是動(dòng)詞辨析以及上下文語義銜接。[A]hide“隱藏，隱瞞”，[B]express“表達(dá)，表示”，[C]raise“舉起，提高，引發(fā)”，[D]ease“減輕，緩和”，四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中能和concerns構(gòu)成搭配的只有raise，故正確答案為[C]。15．【答案】C.(stored)【解析】這句講了anunauthorizedhackerhasbeenabletoaccessacomputerdatabaseandtoalterinformation__________there.“一些黑客入侵電腦數(shù)據(jù)庫并且更改_____信息”根據(jù)空前信息可知是入侵電腦數(shù)據(jù)庫，所以information是被儲(chǔ)存在電腦數(shù)據(jù)庫中的信息。16．【答案】C.(uncommon)【解析】此題考查一致性?？崭袼诰洹癟hefactthatthisisnotan__16_occurrencemeansthat…”中this指代上文中that從句的內(nèi)容，即黑客能夠獲取電腦數(shù)據(jù)庫和更改儲(chǔ)存的信息。因此notan_16_occurrence應(yīng)該能體現(xiàn)這一行為的特征，而上文提到“Weoftenhearmediareportsthat…”，其中的often正是對(duì)這一行為的特征解釋，即notan__occurrence等于often的含義，對(duì)比選項(xiàng)，只有C選項(xiàng)uncommon符合，帶入后意為“經(jīng)常發(fā)生的事情”。17．【答案】A(steal)【解析】本題缺少謂語動(dòng)詞，通過語法結(jié)構(gòu)可以看出，主語是dishonestpersons，并通過后面的其他人的帳戶，可以推定為答案是負(fù)向的，只有Asteal符合題意，語義上也說得通，故為正確答案。18．【答案】B.(prevention)【解析】文章最后一段首句談?wù)撾娮痈顿M(fèi)方式的又一個(gè)缺陷：會(huì)引起安全和隱私問題。接下來就開始解釋這個(gè)現(xiàn)象?？崭袼诰涮岬健皩?duì)這種欺詐的_18__絕非易事，而且一個(gè)新的電腦科學(xué)領(lǐng)域正在形成來_19__安全問題?！币虼?，本句在談?wù)搶?duì)問題的解決應(yīng)對(duì)。18空格與19空格所填內(nèi)容語意上應(yīng)該是一致的。瀏覽選項(xiàng)，18空只能選prevention，即防止這種欺詐行為發(fā)生并非易事，而C選項(xiàng)manipulation是“操縱”的意思，D選項(xiàng)justification意為“解釋，證明……合理”，均不合理。19．【答案】A.(copewith)【解析】此空格解釋同18空格，應(yīng)選有“處理，解決”意思的選項(xiàng)，只有A選項(xiàng)copewith合適。B選項(xiàng)fightagainst意為“對(duì)抗，抵制”，而賓語是securityissues，因此不符合。20．【答案】D.(trail)【解析】此空所在句提出了使用電子付費(fèi)方式的又一個(gè)擔(dān)心，即會(huì)留下__20_，空格后的定語從句解釋了空格內(nèi)容，即它包含大量個(gè)人數(shù)據(jù)。瀏覽選項(xiàng)，只有trail符合，意為“痕跡”。B碎片從語義上均說不通，C路徑有一定的干擾性，但相比較D而言，痕跡更為合適，故為正確答案SectionIIReadingComprehensionPartAText121．【答案】A【解析】第一段第二行指出笑話是關(guān)于紡織廠自動(dòng)化程度的，后一句具體說明了笑話的內(nèi)容：工廠平均每天只有兩個(gè)人，一人一狗。人的工作是喂狗，狗的工作是看機(jī)器，暗示了工廠所有的生產(chǎn)工作都是由機(jī)器自動(dòng)完成的。因此，這個(gè)笑話是用來說明技術(shù)進(jìn)步的影響，故選A。22．【答案】D【解析】事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題，通過題干“根據(jù)第3段，要想成為一個(gè)成功的雇員，一個(gè)人得……”,我們首先可以定位到文章第三段，由第三段的最后一句話“Therefore,everyoneneedstofindtheirextra-theiruniquevaluecontributionthatmakesthemstandoutinwhateveristheirfieldofemployment.”意思是“因此，人人都需要有另外的價(jià)值，異于常人的獨(dú)特價(jià)值能夠讓他們?cè)诟髯缘墓蛡蚴袌?chǎng)上脫穎而出?！?，我們可以得出，題干中“tobeasuccessfulemployee”與第三段的最后一句話中的“thatmakesthemstandoutinwhateveristheirfieldofemployment”是同義替換，“everyoneneedstofindtheirextra-theiruniquevaluecontribution”與D選項(xiàng)中的“contributesomethingunique”是同義替換，所以D選項(xiàng)正確。A、B兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)與第三段的倒數(shù)第二句話意思不符，是干擾選項(xiàng)。C選項(xiàng)與第三段的第一、二句話意思相反，重點(diǎn)關(guān)注的是“But,today,averageisofficiallyover.”，意思是“現(xiàn)如今，擁有一般水平不行了?！?3.【答案】B【解析】根據(jù)題干定位到第四段，第一句technologyhasbeeneatingjobs（技術(shù)使工作機(jī)會(huì)減少）也反映了該段的主旨。而根據(jù)題干quotation一詞，我們讀到引號(hào)里有“shedworkers（解雇工人）”、“roughlyoneoutofeverythreemanufacturingjobs-about6millionintotal-disappeared（大約1/3的手工生產(chǎn)工作機(jī)會(huì)消失，總計(jì)6百萬）”，可推斷出B選項(xiàng)。24.【答案】B【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干reduceunemployment減少失業(yè)，可以定位到文章中最后一段，這段出現(xiàn)了與之類似的表達(dá)“supportemployment”促進(jìn)就業(yè)，而題干表述“themostimportant”與文章“nothingwouldbemoreimportantthan”相對(duì)應(yīng)，指出促進(jìn)就業(yè)最重要的是頒布類似于“G.I.Bill”的法案來保障人們接受高等教育的權(quán)利，選項(xiàng)C與之吻合，故正確。A項(xiàng)加速信息技術(shù)產(chǎn)業(yè)變革，C項(xiàng)促進(jìn)經(jīng)濟(jì)全球化，均未提及，故排除。D項(xiàng)是干擾項(xiàng)，雖提及要頒布更多法案，但頒布法案的目的實(shí)際是為了保障教育，故也排除。25.【答案】C【解析】該題是主旨大意題，主要考查考生根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容凝練主旨大意的能力。從整個(gè)文章的脈絡(luò)來看，第一段以亞當(dāng)?大衛(wèi)森一篇論文中關(guān)于現(xiàn)代工廠自動(dòng)化與僅需要一人一狗兩個(gè)員工的一則笑話，揭示了科技進(jìn)步給人們帶來的影響。第二三段是科技的進(jìn)步引起工廠自動(dòng)化水平提高，普通員工如果沒有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力和突出優(yōu)勢(shì)，就很容易失去工作，因此也對(duì)員工提出了更高的要求（extra-uniquevaluecontribution）。第四段就是員工只有不斷地提高自己的教育水平，才能讓自己脫穎而出（tohavemoreandbettereducationtomakethemselvesaboveaverage）。最后一段點(diǎn)明主題，averageisofficiallyover。由此可見，全文一直在圍繞這一宏觀主線展開，這一主線也統(tǒng)領(lǐng)全文，所以正確答案為C。Text226．【答案】C（stayinaforeigntemporarily）【解析】詞義句意題。根據(jù)題干，首先定位到首段末句。在這句中，birdsofpassage是前面一句中的1/4的意大利移民的昵稱，他們只在美國居住了一段時(shí)間，但最終還是返回意大利。A項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容在首段首句有提及，但是它突出強(qiáng)調(diào)的是橫跨大西洋的移民，這也是一世紀(jì)前的情況，而如今birdsofpassage可能來自世界各個(gè)角落，并非局限于大西洋兩岸。B項(xiàng)與段意不符，D項(xiàng)文中未提及。27．【答案】C（shouldbeadoptedtomeetchallenges）【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)題干，直接定位到第二段。解題關(guān)鍵可定位到“…,butweneedtochangethewaywethinkaboutcategories.Weneedtolookbeyondstickdefinitionsoflegalandillegal.Tostart,wecanrecognizethenewbirdsofpassage,…Wemightthenbegintosolveourimmigrationchallenges.”大意是“我們需要改變的是關(guān)于分類的思考方式，突破合法和非法的嚴(yán)格限制。首先承認(rèn)短暫移民者的存在，然后解決移民問題面臨的挑戰(zhàn)?！盋項(xiàng)高度總結(jié)了以上幾點(diǎn)。A項(xiàng)與原文意思不符。B、D項(xiàng)在文中未提及。28．【答案】D（thefreedomtostayandleave）【解析】事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干，可定位到第三段。解題關(guān)鍵在于對(duì)“Theyprefertocomeandgoasopportunitycallsthem.Theycanmanagetohaveajobinoneplaceandafamilyinanother.”大意是“他們跟著機(jī)會(huì)走，來去自如。他們可以在一個(gè)地方立業(yè)，在另一個(gè)地方成家”。強(qiáng)調(diào)的是工作機(jī)會(huì)，而不在乎工作地點(diǎn)。D項(xiàng)是這句意思的高度概括。A項(xiàng)是對(duì)原文的片面理解，吸引短暫移民者的不僅僅是來自金錢的激勵(lì)（financialincentives），還有工作機(jī)會(huì)和工作理念。B項(xiàng)在文中未提及。C項(xiàng)中的regularjobs（一般工作）在文中未提及，也是對(duì)文意的曲解。29．【答案】C（withlegaltolerance）【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)題干，可定位到第五段。題干問到“根據(jù)作者的意思，我們（美國）應(yīng)該怎樣對(duì)待這些短暫移民者？”在本段中，作者寫道我們應(yīng)該“Lookingbeyondtheculturewarlogicofrightorwrongmeansopeningupthemiddlegroundandunderstandingthatmanagingimmigrationtodayrequiresmultiplepathsandmultipleoutcomes.Includingsomethatarenoteasytoaccomplishlegallyintheexistingsystem”，大意是“我們應(yīng)該超越移民合法性方面的文化之爭(zhēng)，重現(xiàn)看待中間地段，充分意識(shí)到當(dāng)今的移民管理體系需要各種途徑，從而取得多樣化的結(jié)果，來解決現(xiàn)今移民體系下用法律手段很難解決的問題”，暗含了C項(xiàng)中的tolerance也就是對(duì)multiplepathsandmultipleoutcomes的改寫。A、B和D項(xiàng)在文中未提及。30．【答案】D（legalorillegal:bigmistake）【解析】主旨大意題。文章第二段第二句中提到“我們把新移民分成兩類：合法移民和不合法移民”，同時(shí)作者認(rèn)為“我們不需要局限于合法與不合法這樣嚴(yán)格的定義”，這說明了從合法和不合法角度對(duì)于移民的分類是錯(cuò)誤的。另外，文章最后一段最后一句“包括在現(xiàn)行的移民體系中不容易合法的實(shí)現(xiàn)的一些事情”也反映了文章的中心。即，從合法和不合法角度對(duì)于移民的分類是錯(cuò)誤的。故選D（合法或非法：大錯(cuò)誤）。A項(xiàng)談到短暫移民者的移動(dòng)是個(gè)錯(cuò)誤，偏離了文章主旨。B和C項(xiàng)說的是risk（風(fēng)險(xiǎn)），文中并未提及，偏離文章主旨。Text331．【答案】[D]predeterminetheaccuracyofourjudgment【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。題干問的是“作決定過程中所需的時(shí)間可以_____”。文章第一段提到“如果我們?cè)谧龀龇磻?yīng)之前花點(diǎn)兒時(shí)間來思考，那么將會(huì)減少甚至消除我們快速反應(yīng)所帶來的負(fù)面影響”，也就是說我們做決定所花的時(shí)間決定了我們判斷的準(zhǔn)確性。文章第二段第二句話也隱含本題正確答案線索。第二句以But這一轉(zhuǎn)折連詞引導(dǎo)，應(yīng)該重點(diǎn)關(guān)注其后表達(dá)的信息，“但是，我們需要更多的時(shí)間來評(píng)估其他要素?！倍径蔚牡谌?、四句子，很明顯地揭示出本題正確答案，尤其是第三個(gè)句子中的“accurately”一詞。選項(xiàng)D中的表達(dá)“可預(yù)先決定判斷的準(zhǔn)確性”，此外，此選項(xiàng)中的“accuracy”為“accurately”的同詞異形，故此項(xiàng)為正確答案。選項(xiàng)A表達(dá)“依形勢(shì)緊急性而定”錯(cuò)在無中生有，本文并沒有出現(xiàn)類似信息；選項(xiàng)B“證明大腦反映的復(fù)雜性”，也是無中生有；選項(xiàng)C“取決于評(píng)估的重要性”，也與原文不符合，故排除。32．【答案】[A]canbeassociative【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。題干問的是“我們對(duì)于快餐商標(biāo)的反應(yīng)速度表明決定是_____樣的”,由題干的“fast-foodlogo”我們可以定位到第三段。第二段說處理人際關(guān)系問題時(shí)人們會(huì)倉促?zèng)Q定，第三段開頭就說了，讓人做出倉促?zèng)Q定的刺激因素不僅限于人際關(guān)系范圍內(nèi)。緊接著一句說人們對(duì)快餐商標(biāo)的反應(yīng)速度比一般閱讀速度快。下一句闡述了原因：因?yàn)槿藗儫o意識(shí)地（unconsciously）將“快餐”與“速度”和“心急”聯(lián)系在一起，并將這些沖動(dòng)付諸行動(dòng)。A說決定是有聯(lián)系性的，正確，因?yàn)槿藗儗ⅰ翱觳汀迸c“速度”，“心急”聯(lián)系在了一起。B說決定是無意識(shí)的，與原文意思相反，錯(cuò)。C說決定是危險(xiǎn)的，原文未提及，排除。D說決定是不沖動(dòng)的，與原文意思相悖，故排除。33．【答案】[C]thinkbeforeweact【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。先看題干說“為了逆轉(zhuǎn)倉促?zèng)Q定所帶來的影響，我們可以做_____”，根據(jù)題干定位到第四段。第四段通過兩個(gè)例子說明我們應(yīng)該怎樣克服負(fù)面影響，第一個(gè)例子表示“如果我們會(huì)對(duì)消費(fèi)產(chǎn)品或者房產(chǎn)選擇做出“過度反應(yīng)”，我們可以在購買之前先思考一會(huì)兒”，由此可說明我們應(yīng)該在行動(dòng)之前先思考來消除負(fù)面影響，因此選擇答案C。其他選項(xiàng)：A項(xiàng)“相信我們的第一印象”；B項(xiàng)“按照人們通常所做的去做”；D項(xiàng)“征求專家意見”均不符合題意。34．【答案】[D]adequateinformation【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。題干問的是“JohnGottman認(rèn)為可靠的快速反映是基于_____的?！庇深}干JohnGottman定位到全文倒數(shù)第二段。其中第一句：JohnGottman,themarriageexpert,themarriageexpert,explainsthatwequickly”thinslice”informationreliablyonlyafterwegoundsuchsnapreactionsin”thicksliced”long-termstudy.婚姻專家約翰.古德曼解釋說，我們快速反應(yīng)的信息的可靠性是建立在這樣的快速反應(yīng)的行為是以長(zhǎng)期的研究為基礎(chǔ)而做出的快速反應(yīng)行為。其中g(shù)ound是題干中baseon的同意置換，long-termstudy長(zhǎng)期的研究與D選項(xiàng)adequateinformation相互呼應(yīng)。由此可判斷出[D]adequateinformation（足夠的信息）是本題正解。該段第二句話是WhenDr,Gottmanreallywantstoassesswhetheracouplewillstaytogether,heinvitesthemtohisislandretreatforamuchlongereveluation,twodays,nottwoseconds.當(dāng)古德曼博士想去評(píng)估一對(duì)夫妻是否應(yīng)該繼續(xù)在一起時(shí)，他會(huì)邀請(qǐng)他們到他的島上進(jìn)行一個(gè)更為長(zhǎng)期的調(diào)查，是兩天而不是兩秒。第二句是對(duì)第一句的舉例說明，更加驗(yàn)證此選項(xiàng)。35．【答案】[C]optimistic【解析】態(tài)度題。根據(jù)35題題干reversingthehigh-speedtrend是全文的最后一句，所以解此題可先定位到全文的最后一段。最后一段最后兩句：Althoughtechnologymightchangethewaywereact,ithasn’tchangedournature.Westillhavetheimaginativecapacitytoriseabovetemptationandreversethehigh-speedtrend.譯為：盡管技術(shù)可能改變我們反應(yīng)的方式，但是它并沒有改變我們的本性。我們?nèi)匀挥心芰θタ朔T惑并扭轉(zhuǎn)這種高速度的趨勢(shì)。由此我們可以看出作者的態(tài)度是非常確定的，因此B選項(xiàng)uncertain（不確定）首先排除；Westillhavetheimaginativecapacity…表面作者對(duì)于我們的能力是有信心的。因此[C]optimistic（樂觀的）是正解。A選項(xiàng)tolerant(容忍的)、D選項(xiàng)doubtful(懷疑的)在原文中沒有體現(xiàn)，屬于無中生有的選項(xiàng)。Text436．【答案】Bmenhavethefinalsay【解析】根據(jù)題干corporateworkplace定位到第一段。首句就說歐洲性別不平等，inparticular進(jìn)一步指出corporateworkplace，說明工作中性別尤其不平等。緊接著說歐洲公司高管職位remai
