Bestwishes.Yours,LiHua答案以及解析1.答案：1.D;2.B;3.B解析：1.根據(jù)第一段最后一句中的Princetonisdistinctiveamongresearchuniversitiesinitsmitmenttoundergraduateteaching可知D選項的意思與之相符。故選D。

2.根據(jù)文章Library部分中的Thelibrary'scollectionsincludemorethan8millionbooksandimpressiverarebooks,printsandothermaterialsthatrequirespecialhandling.Thelibrary'sextensiveelectronicresourcesincludedatabasesandjournals,imagesanddigitalmaps.可知,B選項的意思與之相符。故選B。

3.根據(jù)最后一部分中的:Ouraidprogramisdesignedtoencourageallqualifiedstudents—regardlessoffinancialcircumstances—toconsiderapplyingforadmissiontoPrinceton.Anyfamily,whofeelstheymayneedhelptopayforaPrincetoneducationisweletoapplyforaid.可知,符合資格且家庭經(jīng)濟狀況有困難的學生都可以申請。故選B。2.答案：1.C;2.B;3.A;4.D

解析：1.根據(jù)第一段可知,VR大會的目的有很多。其中promotingbreakthroughsintheeconomicandsocialdevelopmentofJiangxiprovince可以判斷C項正確。

2.根據(jù)第三段可知,中國已經(jīng)獲得5G商用執(zhí)照,因此B項正確。

3.根據(jù)第二、四段可知,5G為VR的發(fā)展提供了平臺和助力。

4.根據(jù)全文可以看出,這是一篇新聞報道,主要講了VR大會在南昌舉行。3.答案：1.A;2.D;3.B;4.C解析：1.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“...CharlesDickens...wouldbepleasedtohearthat...”可知,如果狄更斯聽到在倫敦成為一名街頭藝人,需要經(jīng)過嚴格的測試并獲得許可證才能上崗的消息,他會感到很髙興,由此推斷狄更斯是反對街頭音樂的。

2.主旨大意題。倫敦的街頭藝人要想在街上賣藝,必須先取得許可證。這個許可證的取得很難:街頭藝人得站在某個地鐵站臺里,面對一個由三人組成的評委團進行現(xiàn)場演出,表演曲目有兩首(一首自選,另一首由評委從規(guī)定曲目中抽取)。評委主要從表演曲目、音樂才能、專業(yè)技巧和演出表現(xiàn)四個方面評分。一旦通過可以獲得為期12個月的街頭表演許可。去年有600多位音樂人士參加了測試,只有70人獲得了許可證,由此可知,本段主要在談獲取街頭表演許可證的競爭很激烈。

3.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Thenewmethodmeansmorepeoplewillnowbeabletoshowtheirsupportforthecapitalcity’smanystreetperformers...”可知,新的支付辦法讓捐錢更方便,就意味著更多的人能夠幫助街頭藝人。故選B。

4.細節(jié)理解題。最后一段CharlotteCampbell講了僅僅兩周后,這個電子捐贈方式讓她得到的捐款比以前多很Afteronlytwoweeks...alreadyhadasignificanteffectonthecontributions...),表明倫敦人很樂意接受這種新的支付捐款的方式(...suggestingpeoplearemorethanwillingtoadoptthenewwayofrewardingbuskers.)。4.答案：1.A;2.C;3.B;4.B

解析：1.推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段"So

we've

equipped

the

machine

with

exercise

bikes

and

volunteers

are

cycling

like

crazy.Even

so,the

demand

for

sweat

is

greater

than

the

supply.所以我們裝備健身自行車,志愿者瘋狂的騎自行車.即便如此,汗水的需求大于供給可知.因為人們并沒有分泌出很多的汗水,所以這種機器凈化出的水的數(shù)量也很少.故選A.

2.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第三段The

device

was

built

for

the

United

Nations'childfocused

charity

UNICEF

to

promote

a

campaign

highlighting

the

fact

that

780

million

people

in

the

world

lack

accessto

clean

water.可知這臺裝置是為了聯(lián)合國的慈善機構(gòu)UNICEF而設(shè)計的,目的是為了提高人們對于清潔水源的保護.所以提到UNICEF就是為了解釋設(shè)計這一機器的原因.故C正確.

3.推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一句And

the

machine

will

never

be

produced

in

large

numbers,since

there

are

better

solutions

out

there

such

as

water

purifying

pills可知Mattias

Ronge認為這種機器不可能被大量生產(chǎn),因為有比它更好的處理凈化水的方法,這種機器不值得推廣.故B項正確.

4.主旨大意題.本文介紹了一種能夠把人的汗水變成清潔的飲用水的機器的工作原理以及人們對這一機器的看法;故選B.5.答案：CGADE解析：1.根據(jù)本空前的“Successfulstudentshavegoodstudyhabits."可知，成功的學生有良好的學習習慣，此處承接上文，說的是良好的學習習慣的好處，故C項(養(yǎng)成良好的學習習慣會幫助你正確有效地學習。）符合語境。故選C項。

2.根據(jù)本空后的“Studyingatthesametimeeachdayestablishesaroutinethatbeesaregularpartofyourlife.”可知，每天在同一時間學習會成為你生活中有規(guī)律的一部分，故G項(設(shè)法每天在同一時間學習。）符合語境。故選G項。

3.根據(jù)本空后的“Soitisimportanttomakepreparationsinadvanceandactastheyare.”可知，提前做好準備并照著做是很重要的，由此可知本段說的是按計劃學習，故A項(按計劃開始學習。）符合語境。

4.根據(jù)本空前的“Yourmostdifficultassignmentwillrequirethemosteffort.”可知，最難的任務(wù)需要最大的努力，此處是說從最難的任務(wù)開始，D項中的it指代的就是mostdifficultassignment，故D項(從它開始，因為這是你最有精神能量的時候。）符合語境。

5.根據(jù)本空前的“Callanotherstudentwhenyouhavedifficultywithanassignment.”可知，學習中遇到困難時可以給另一個同學打，此處解釋原因，故E項(有一種情況是“三個臭皮匠可能頂一個諸葛亮”。）符合語境。6.答案：1.B;2.A;3.C;4.B;5.D;6.A;7.C;8.B;9.A;10.C;11.B;12.B;13.D;14.A;15.B;16.D;17.C;18.B;19.A;20.D解析：1.汽車一個多小時行駛一百英里，飛機在一天內(nèi)飛越世界，然而計算機以閃電般的速度運行。explore探索；get得到；cover走完（一段路程）；fly飛。故選B項。2.汽車一個多小時行駛一百英里，飛機在一天內(nèi)飛越世界，然而計算機以閃電般的速度運行。when當……時;as因為；thus因此;while然而。故選A項。3.根據(jù)"Modeminventionshavespeededuppeople'slivesamazingly."可知，這種對速度的熱愛似乎永無止境。speed速度；time時間；product產(chǎn)品；distance距離。故選C項。4.根據(jù)F句"Allthesesavetime,but5acost."可知，每年都會生產(chǎn)出速度更快的汽車，吹噓每臺新電腦在處理任務(wù)時都能節(jié)省寶貴的時間。waste浪費；lose失去；save節(jié)省；spend花費。故選B項。5.所有這些都節(jié)省了時間，但也付出了代價。atacost付出代價，是固定短語。故選D項。6.當我們乘坐飛機在世界各地加速飛行時，是損失還是獲得半天的時間，我們的身體會告訴我們。earn賺得;drop下降;miss錯過;gain獲得。故選A項。7.根據(jù)"Wegettheunfortablefeelingknownasjetlag(時差)."可知這里的意思是"我們的身體感覺它們被留在了另一個時區(qū)"。leave留下；e來；forget忘記；fee]感覺。故選C項。8.長時間使用電腦會導致手腕和手指疼痛。ship船;airplane飛機;puter電腦；car汽車。故選B項。9.根據(jù)"Mobilephonesalsohavetheirdangers."可知，過多地使用可能會向我們的大腦傳送有害的輻射，這是我們不愿意考慮的后果。prevention預(yù)防；radiation輻射；bination結(jié)合;damage損害。故選A項。10.過多地使用可能會向我們的大腦傳送有害的輻射，這是我們不愿意考慮的后果。thinkabout考慮，這是一個固定短語，故選C項。11.然而，我們?nèi)绾翁幚砉?jié)省下來的時間呢?control控制；handle處理;do做;act行動。故選B項。12.我們已經(jīng)習慣了持續(xù)不斷的活動，以至于我們很難坐下來什么都不做，甚至一次只做一件事。unfortable不舒服的;easy容易的;difficult困難的;good好的。故選B項。13.我們已經(jīng)習慣了持續(xù)不斷的活動，以至于我們很難坐下來什么都不做，甚至一次只做一件事。atatime—次，為固定短語。故選D。14.也許我們可以安靜地聽收音機里的故事，讓想象力帶我們進入另一個世界的這樣的日子早就一去不復(fù)返了。actively積極地；quietly安靜地；enthusiastically熱心地；curiously好奇地。故選A項。15.也許我們可以安靜地聽收音機里的故事，讓想象力帶我們進入另一個世界的這樣的日子早就一去不復(fù)返了。another另一個，此處指"另—世界"。故選B項。16.設(shè)空處引導定語從句，先行詞是atime，關(guān)系詞在從句中作時間狀語，所以用關(guān)系副詞when。故選D項。17.根據(jù)"thecultivation(耕作)of..."可知，有些人的生活僅僅是耕種或照料牲畜。surface表面；water水；land土地；island島。故選C項。18.像這樣的生活方式有許多我們也許會羨慕的地方。way方式;view視野;pathway小路;point要點。故選B項。19.然而，在我們這樣做之前，我們必須想想我們的祖先面對的艱巨任務(wù)。express表達；charge控告；inspire鼓舞;face面對，故選A項。20.現(xiàn)代機器把人們從那種原始的生活中解放出來。free解放;remain保持;keep維持;clear清除，故選D項。7.答案：being;which;finally;declared;toretire;havemade;but;saying;a;wonderful
