6.IsGoodAppearanceMoreImportantthanCapability?[1]Nowadaysmanyjobseekerswithgoodappearancebutlowerabilitiescanstillgetdecentjobs.[2]BasedonthisfactsomepeopledrawaconclusionthatgoodappearancIsGoodAppearanceMoreImportantthanCapability?[1]Nowadays,manyjobseekerswithgoodappearancebutlowerabilitiescanstillgetdecentjobs.[2]Basedonthisfact,somepeopledrawaconclusionthatgoodappearanc解析：本篇是論述題，要求對某一種觀點(外貌比能力更重要)提出肯定或否定的看法，并加以論證。此類作文的基本寫作模式是：介紹某個觀點-提出自己的意見-論證自己的觀點。寫作重點是論證自己的觀點。

假如我們支持“外貌比能力更重要”的觀點，怎么落筆?我們可以把論點設(shè)置為：盡管能力很重要，但如果沒有較好的外貌，一個人也難以獲得成功。理由：①第一印象影響深遠(yuǎn)，這是人之常情。在能力相差不大的時候，決定因素就是外貌。②有能力的人如果不注意形象，會招致誤解，影響工作。比如占代的龐統(tǒng)就因為貌丑被劉備分到一個偏僻地方當(dāng)小縣令。結(jié)論：外貌也是生產(chǎn)力，我們沒有理由不注重自己的儀表。

當(dāng)然，更多人會選擇“公認(rèn)”的論點，認(rèn)為能力比外貌更重要?？梢园颜擖c設(shè)為：盡管外貌漂亮具有優(yōu)勢，但長遠(yuǎn)來看，還是能力更重要。理由：①任何實際問題的解決都需要能力，光靠外表于事無補。盡管賞心悅目的外表可以給人較好的第一印象，但如果能力不夠，不能勝任工作，照樣還會被淘汰。②有能力的人在工作中能夠展現(xiàn)自信，會越來越呈現(xiàn)出自己的人格魅力，越來越受歡迎；而僅有美貌沒有內(nèi)涵的人，接觸久了就會越來越喪失魅力。③外在的美是具有時效性的，會隨時間的推移而喪失，而注重能力的提高，可以使自己不斷得到充實。

11.B解析：根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞use和random定位到第二小標(biāo)題下第三段：Becarefulnottodiscardaspecificwordbecauseyousimplyconcludethatit'sofnouseandthengettinganotherwordinstead．不能輕易地認(rèn)為某個詞沒用就用別的詞來替代它，即需要努力找到它與現(xiàn)在狀況的聯(lián)系。故選B項。

12.improvethesituationimprovethesituation解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干定位到倒數(shù)第二段首句MartinusVanSchalkwyk...saidthereweremeasuresinplacetoimprovethesituation，即：環(huán)境和觀光事業(yè)部長Schalkwyk參觀了德爾班南部的盆地，并指出還是有措施可以改善現(xiàn)狀的，故得答案。

13.greeninitiativesgreeninitiatives解析：此處需要填入名詞性成分作for的賓語。從原文可知，許多學(xué)校的大學(xué)生們都投票要求增加活動經(jīng)費來支持綠色環(huán)保行動。由此可得出答案為greeninitiatives。

14.thebest/themostappropriatemomenttointerrupthimthebest/themostappropriatemomenttointerrupthim解析：參見全文最后一段最后一句:Hehasbeenbuildingautomatedreasoningsystemsequippedwithartificialintelligencethatobservesacomputeruser'sbehavior.andtriestopredictthemomenttheuserwillbementallyfreeandreadytobeinterrupted.

15.D解析：本題要求了解QueenElizabeth建EIC(東印度公司)的原因。根據(jù)兩句間的因果關(guān)系可知，英女王也想和法國、荷蘭、比利時等國分享財富。fortunes是核心所在，故D項正確。

16.C解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干信息詞Antipollutionlegislation定位到第六個小標(biāo)題第二句Withoutthecontinuedpressurefromenvironmentalists,antipollutionlegislationwouldnothavebeenenacted,andmanypollution-reducingdeviceswouldnothavebeeninvented，即：設(shè)有來自環(huán)境學(xué)家的壓力，反污染規(guī)則不會被實行，許多減少污染的工具也不會被發(fā)明，故選C。

17.whatevertheywantwhatevertheywant解析：依據(jù)第十一段內(nèi)容及最后一句話“PeoplewanttousetheInternetwhenevertheywant，howtheywantandforwhatevertheywant．”可知
