解析：這是一篇名言分析型的作文，要求考生根據(jù)題目中的名言“比起參

考世界上所有的地圖，親自去走一條路會獲得更多信息”來分析直接經驗與間接

經驗，并舉例論證，接著講述如何獲得直接經驗。

第一段：簡單引述名言的涵義：直接經驗勝于間接經驗。

第二段：論證名言的說法，并舉例說明。

第三段：講述如何去獲得更多的直接經驗。

［參考譯文］

我聽過一句話：“比起參考世界上所有的地圖，親自去走一條路會獲得更

多信息。”這句話旨在告訴我們：直接經驗勝于間接經驗。

我完全同意這個說法。僅僅為了知曉一條道路而去參考世界上所有的地圖,

這是很不可能的事情。即使我們能夠這樣做，所得到的信息也不及親自去體驗的

多。這句話在很多其他方面也是正確的。學游泳就是一個恰當?shù)睦?。如果我?/p>

不下水游泳，我們不會成為游泳健將,無論我們讀過多少本游泳技巧方面的書籍。

因為我們身臨其境，我們所看到、聽到、聞到、嘗到、摸到的是如此的完整和真

實，以至于沒有任何間接經驗能比得上。

為了獲得更多的直接經驗，我們應該跳出舒適區(qū)，盡可能多地身體力行，

而不僅僅是通過書本或者各種媒體來學習。只有這樣我們才能獲得直接經驗。

對話中男士說，他們提供了三個時間選擇（分別是A、B、C）,來自波蘭的代

表團選擇了最早的那個時間，即“3月底”，故選A。

①時間類選項，應邊聽邊做相應的記錄。②B、C在對話中有提及，但不

是代表團選擇的時間；D為原詞拼湊，不正確。

對話開頭，女士說“我己經加入302B班一個月了，今天史密斯教授告訴我，

最新的班級名單上沒有登記我的名字”。D正是女士覺得驚訝的原因所在。

Chemistry302A是電腦顯示女士登記的課程信息，即她被登記了Chemistry

302A,而不是A說的沒有登記。女士并沒被登記了Chemistry302B,故排除B。

女士一直以為自己是302B班的，unsure一詞用得不準確，排除C。

短文首句說，“長久以來，人口眾多的優(yōu)勢與劣勢一直是經濟學家們討論的

話題。"A中的merits對應文中的advantages,drawbacks對應disadvantages,故

本題的答案為A。

在聽音時，內容更綜合、全面的選項往往就是答案。B只是其中一方面；

C、D不是經濟學家討論的問題。

短文提到，我們可以推遲聽到那些話的唯一的方法就是，現(xiàn)在開始節(jié)省能源

并使用其他能源，如太陽能。B符合文意。

符合“語義突出之處常出題”的命題原則，聽到theonlyway時就要格外

留意。此外，從常識的角度也可知，“節(jié)省能源并使用其他能源”是最合適的答

案。C是對protectionagainstrisingfuelcosts的胡亂改寫，兩者說的不是同一件

事。

報道中說，蘋果公司報告銷售額下降之后，蘋果的股票價格下降，因此蘋果

公司銷售額下降的后果是A“股票價格下跌”。

蘋果的銷量下降，但報道沒有說蘋果因此而裁員，無法得知蘋果的工人失

業(yè)，故排除B。銷量的下降會使公司的收入減少，但這不能說是巨大的損失，公

司也不會就此面臨破產，畢竟報道也提到，蘋果仍從產品的銷售中掙了很多錢，

只是收入少了點而已，C和D夸大事實，應排除。

說話人在錄音開始談到年輕人應該從頭學起，擔當最基層的職務，有許多大

企業(yè)家在創(chuàng)業(yè)之初與掃帚結伴，以清掃辦公室度過了企業(yè)生涯的最初時光。C是

該處錄音內容的同義改寫，為本題答案。

說話人談到他年輕的時候清掃過辦公室，但不能因此推出他喜歡清掃辦公

室，故A錯誤。錄音提到，必要的時候，新手打掃一下辦公室，并沒有什么傷害，

B“它會傷害新手”與此相反，故排除。說話人并沒有說清掃辦公室是職員必做

的第一件事，故排除D。

①選項都是指人的名詞，預測問題與人物相關。②問題問說話人在母校遇到

的人，說話人談到他在食堂里布置幻燈片投影儀時，看到了那位熟悉的食堂大媽,

因此D正確。

說話人在談話中只說遇到食堂的大媽，沒有說遇到A"他以前的校長”、B

“他以前的同學”和C“他以前最親密的朋友”，因此A、B和C均錯誤。

D.detectingH.inefficientL.messages（分數(shù):35,50）

1.（分數(shù):3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：F）

解析：根據(jù)空格前的系動詞are,可知這里應填入名詞、形容詞或分詞。上

文提到人類嗅覺不靈敏是由于人類直立行走，本句進一步解釋說明這種現(xiàn)象導致

的結果，即人直立行走，所以人的鼻子只能感知通過空氣流通而散發(fā)的氣味。詞

庫中l(wèi)imited>dedicated和exposed在語法上都可行，但只有l(wèi)imited在意思上符

合句意，表明人類鼻子的“局限性”。

［參考譯文］

人類的鼻子是個不起眼的工具。與動物相比，人類的嗅覺往往被認為是遲

鈍的，而這在很大程度上是因為與動物不同，人類是直立行走的。這就意味著,

我們的鼻子只能感知通過空氣流通而散發(fā)的氣味，而大部分的氣味是附著在各種

物體表面的，因此我們就聞不到。不過事實上，我們的嗅覺是十分靈敏的，只是

我們通常沒有意識到這一點。人身上的各種不同氣味即使被稀釋到遠不及原來的

百萬分之一，我們的鼻子也能夠覺察到。

奇怪的是，有些人發(fā)現(xiàn)他們可以聞出一種花香而不能聞出另一種，而另一

些人卻對兩種花香都很敏感。這也許是因為有些人缺乏某種基因，這種基因能在

鼻子里生成針對某種氣味的感受器。這些感受器是由一些能感知氣味并把信息傳

遞給大腦的細胞組成的。然而，研究表明，即使對某種氣味一開始不太敏感的人，

如果經常聞這種氣味。有一天突然也能敏感起來。

對氣味不敏感的原因似乎是這樣的：大腦發(fā)現(xiàn)讓所有的氣味感受器一直處

于運轉狀態(tài)效率太低，只需要在必要的時候產生新的感受器就可以了。這也可以

解釋為什么我們通常對自己身上的各種氣味不敏感：這只是因為我們不需要。我

們意識不到我們自己的房子通常的氣味，但當我們拜訪別人時，就會注意到我們

所不熟悉的氣味。大腦覺得最好讓氣味感受器在出現(xiàn)陌生或危急信號時有效地工

作一一例如煙味，因為它預示著火災危險。

2.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：0）

解析：從句子結構來看，這里不缺少主要成分，可以判斷此空應填入副詞

修飾sensitiveo上句說人類嗅覺不靈敏，空格前的though表轉折，提示事實上

并非如此。extremely代入句中表示“我們的嗅覺是十分靈敏的”，符合句意。

3.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：D）

解析：空格前的of是介詞，其后應該填入動名詞與后面的humansmells

構成動賓搭配，即“我們的鼻子可以人類的氣味”。本段討論的是人類鼻

子對氣味的敏感度，上文出現(xiàn)了sensitivetosmells,故推測此處應該填表示“聞

到或察覺”之類的詞語。detecting強調察覺不易察覺的事物，符合句意。M項

distinguishing常指通過視覺或聽覺來識別事物，不能與smells搭配。

4.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：N）

解析：這里缺少修飾smellreceptors的詞，可以是形容詞、名詞或分詞。

空格所在句是對該段第一句提出的奇特現(xiàn)象作出解釋，原因在于缺少某種基因，

所以不能在鼻子中產生某些氣味的感受器。particular意為“特定的”，代入句中

指“特定氣味的感受器”。

5.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：L）

解析：空格所在句是which引導的定語從句，填入的詞作send的賓語。

messages指"信息"，這里指感受器把信息傳給大腦，符合句子邏輯。impulses

多表示人的沖動或興奮，用在此處不合適。

6.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1:（正確答案：J）

解析：本題所在句子是一個由when引導的條件句的省略形式（省略了they

are）,闡釋了“使對某種氣味不敏感的人突然變敏感”的條件，空格處應填入動

詞的分詞形式，且能與to搭配。詞庫中符合語法的有l(wèi)imited和exposedoexposed

放入句中指“當人們經常接觸這種氣味時，就會突然對它變得敏感”，符合邏輯。

而limited代入后邏輯不對。

7.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：H）

解析：這里是“主語+find+it+a.+不定式”的句式，故空格應填入形容詞。

that從句解釋了“對氣味不敏感”的原因。詞庫中只有inefficient符合句意，表

明“對氣味不敏感的原因是：大腦發(fā)現(xiàn)讓所有的氣味感受器一直處于運轉狀態(tài)效

率太低”。

8.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：A）

解析：空格所在句主謂賓成分齊全，由此判斷空格處應填入副詞。simply

“只不過”放入句中合適，表示“這只是因為我們不需要"。permanently和

extremely在語義上說不通。

9.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：C）

解析：空格介于系動詞are和介詞of之間，推測為固定搭配。能符合此搭

配的詞有aware和sure。beawareof意為"意識到"，代入句中表示“我們意識

不到我們自己的房子通常的氣味”，句意通順。而sure代入句中則表示“對自己

房間的熟悉氣味沒有把握”，不符合邏輯。

10.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：B）

解析：這里填入的詞與unfamiliar共同修飾signals,可以是名詞，也可以是

形容詞或分詞。從suchas后面的例子來看，smellofsmoke是火險的信號，可判

斷這是緊急情況，故選emergency。
