解析：題目要求考生圍繞社交網(wǎng)站對學(xué)生產(chǎn)生的影響進行論述。根據(jù)題目

要求，文章的結(jié)構(gòu)可安排如下：

第一段：準確且簡要地描述漫畫內(nèi)容并開門見山指出社交網(wǎng)站會導(dǎo)致學(xué)生

缺乏“口頭分享二

第二段：從當下人們都習(xí)慣在虛擬的社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)分享生活這一普遍的現(xiàn)象切

入中心論點，分析這種速食式分享無法真正使人們加深情感，并指出只有通過親

近的溝通和交流才能使親友領(lǐng)會當時的微妙與激動。

第三段：重申這種現(xiàn)象的普遍性，接著點題，指出如若沉迷網(wǎng)絡(luò)分享，我

們與親友的溝通能力將會下降。

［參考譯文］

如圖所示，當學(xué)生暑假返校的時候，他們會被要求分享暑假做過的事，因

為并不是所有的親朋好友都在推特、臉書這些社交網(wǎng)站上加了他們好友。從圖片

中我們可以看出這些網(wǎng)站對學(xué)生的不良影響，即會使學(xué)生缺乏“口頭上的分享”。

如今，學(xué)生們更喜歡通過虛擬空間來分享他們所經(jīng)歷的事情，而不是和親

密好友或父母聊天分享。隱晦的圖片和文字記錄了他們所有的悲歡。似乎寫評論

或點贊就是我們對他們展現(xiàn)關(guān)心與愛意的唯一方式。但是，對這些圖片和文字的

匆匆一瞥是很難理解當事人的興奮或微妙的心情的，這應(yīng)該在親近的交談中細細

敘說才體會得到。

現(xiàn)在手機已經(jīng)成為人們了解彼此，和天各一方的親朋好友分享每天發(fā)生的

事情的主要媒介。但是沉溺于虛擬空間分享只會折損我們和真正所愛之人鞏固親

密關(guān)系的能力。

①所有選項都在描述He出現(xiàn)了什么狀況，故可基本推測出問題。②女士在

對話一開始就開門見山地說：“Don讓我給您打電話是因為他失聲了，無法親自

和您說話”。C為該處對話內(nèi)容的同義表達，故為本題答案。

A、B分別利用錄音原詞officekey和exams進行干擾。D沒有依據(jù)。

①選項均以From開頭，因此推斷題目問來源。②女士在對話一開始就開門

見山地說：“你應(yīng)該看一下這篇關(guān)于加拿大蝎子的文章」故C正確。

雖然所有選項都沒有在對話中出現(xiàn)，不過根據(jù)對話中女士說的關(guān)鍵詞

article“文章”，答案應(yīng)與文字資料相關(guān)。注意B中的documentary表示“記錄片”，

而非document“文獻”，不屬于article的范疇。

短文提到，50年前交換生還是比較受歡迎的，因為不少婦女當時待在家中，

不外出工作，故A為答案。

①比較級在短文聽力中經(jīng)常被設(shè)為考點，必須留意。②B“那時的人們更

友善”、C“那時學(xué)生的伙食費自付”和D“那時鼓勵移民”錄音中均未提及，故

都可以排除。

短文提到，哥倫布到達百慕大魔鬼三角區(qū)時，一個一兩百英尺高的浪頭將他

的船沖出了一英里遠，故B為答案。

watercurrent、greatnoise和roughstorms均未在短文中出現(xiàn)。在談到哥

倫布的情況時，短文compass、flame、wave,本題只要聽到wave一詞，也能選

對答案，因為短文聽力經(jīng)常是“聽到什么選什么

①從選項看，本題可能跟一項跑步運動相關(guān)。②錄音開頭，主持人提到超級

馬拉松要比典型的26英里馬校松還長125英里，B"超級馬拉松在距離上比典型

馬拉松更長”，與此符合，故為答案。

錄音中明確提出超級馬拉松要比典型的26英里馬拉松還長125英里，A

認為它就是經(jīng)典的26英里馬拉松，故排除。超級馬拉松確實辛苦，但是錄音并

沒提到要在冬天結(jié)冰的道路上跑，故C排除。D說ScottJurek開創(chuàng)了這項運動.錄

音只是說他稱霸了該項運動比賽，是記錄的保持者,并沒有提及該運動的創(chuàng)始者,

故排除Do

Whathappenedtothespeaker?

①根據(jù)選項中的causedafireonaplane、flightwashijackedaccident等關(guān)鍵

詞，推測此題可能跟某人的不幸遭遇有關(guān)，且很可能是發(fā)生在空中。②錄音開頭

演講者讓聽眾設(shè)想在3000英尺的高空飛機發(fā)生爆炸，飛機里充滿了煙，飛機引

擎發(fā)出喀、喀、喀的異響等，然后說到這是他經(jīng)歷過的，故C”他在3000英尺

高的地方經(jīng)歷過一起事故”正確。

錄音開頭提到飛機里充滿的煙，這是飛機發(fā)生爆炸造成的，并非演講者抽

煙造成的，故A錯誤。錄音開頭演講者描述的是飛機發(fā)生爆炸，發(fā)動機發(fā)出異響

等飛機失事的征兆，并非是恐怖分子劫機，故B錯誤。演講者提到自己害怕是由

于飛機發(fā)生爆炸，并非他恐高，故排除D。

錄音開頭，男士提到他這周一直聽到關(guān)于第三方組織或個人利用公園場地組

織活動的辯論，故選B“第三方使用公園”。

錄音中并未提及公園收門票的事，故排除A“公園的門票費用”。錄音中

提到雖然公園維護成本并不便宜，但是theFabianSociety（費邊社）警告說官方機

構(gòu)對于公園養(yǎng)護的投入可能會削減。這是一條未正式發(fā)布的消息，并非辯論的議

題，故排除C“公園的養(yǎng)護成本D只是利用錄音中的well-behaveddogs編造

的干擾項，錄音說到對居住在城市的人們來說，公園通常是他們約會碰頭、孩子

玩耍以及乖巧狗狗聚集玩樂的主要場所，并未提及人們在公園遛狗時是否應(yīng)該管

好自己的狗，故排除D。

1.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：0）

解析：此處需要填入名詞，被pre-electronic修飾，作became的表語，補

充說明強調(diào)句（itwas...that…）中的真實主語newspaper?？崭窈筇峒暗膒amphlet

“小冊子”、book“書籍”、periodical“雜志”屬于同一類事物,空格處填入的詞

須概括它們的共同特點，medium"媒介”符合要求。

［參考譯文］

人們對20世紀電視的發(fā)展和15、16世紀印刷術(shù)的傳播作了各種比較。但

是在這兩個時間段之間發(fā)生了很多事情。就像以前討論過的那樣，直到19世紀，

報紙才繼小冊子和書籍之后，與雜志一同成為電子時代之前的主要傳媒。就在同

一時間，通訊革命迅猛發(fā)展，它始于運輸、鐵路，進而發(fā)展到電報、電話、收音

機和電影，最后進入到20世紀以汽車與飛機發(fā)展為標志的階段。不是所有人都

能正確地認識這個發(fā)展過程，但這一點卻很重要。

然而，大家普遍承認，20世紀初計算機的出現(xiàn)一一跟隨其后的是20世紀

60年代集成電路的出現(xiàn)一一從根本上改變了這一過程，盡管電腦對于媒介的影

響當時并沒有立刻顯現(xiàn)出來。隨著時光流逝，電腦變得更小，功能更強大，它們

在供機構(gòu)使用的同時，也“供個人使用”。電腦的顯示器更清晰，而存儲容量更

大。它們像人一樣被用“代”來劃分，而代與代之間的時間距離卻短得多。

就是在計算機時代，“信息社會”這個詞開始被廣泛用以描述我們現(xiàn)在的

生活環(huán)境。通訊革命影響了我們的工作和休閑方式，也影響到我們思考和感受時

空的方式。但是人們對于它的經(jīng)濟、政治、社會和文化上的意義仍然存在不同看

法。人們把“利”與“害”進行權(quán)衡比較，卻很難做出籠統(tǒng)的概括性結(jié)論。

2.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：A）

解析；這里缺少謂語動詞，且與up構(gòu)成短語?？崭窈筇岬降倪\輸、鐵路，

到電報、電話、收音機、電影，再到汽車、飛機，這是一個發(fā)展變化的過程，表

明通訊革命（communicationsrevolution）迅猛發(fā)展，只有speedup“加快速度”能

體現(xiàn)這一語義。pickedup”撿起；接送”不符合語義。

3.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：C）

解析：此處需要動詞，根據(jù)空格前and的提示，該動詞與前面的beginning

并列，為?ing形式。leading放入句中與可與on連用，表示“繼續(xù)發(fā)展”，此處句

子意為“進而發(fā)展到電報、電話、收音機和電影”，符合語義。distracting”使分

心”，是及物動詞，不與。n連用。

4.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項上（正確答窠：K）

解析：填入的內(nèi)容可以與in搭配，推測為名詞的可能性大。難點在于

perspective的熟詞生義：該詞在此處不表示“觀點，看法”，而是表示“合理判

斷，正確認識"，inperspective意為“正確地，合理地”。此史意為“不是所有人

都能正確地認識這個進程”。

5.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1:（正確答案：H）

解析：空格所在的句子很長，that從句的主語是introduction,謂語動詞為

changed,句子不缺少主要成分，缺少的是修飾changed的副詞。radically意為“根

本地”，這里指“計算機的出現(xiàn)從根本上改變了這一進程"。presumably“大概”

表猜測，根據(jù)句首的generallyrecognized“普遍承認”可知該詞不符合語義。

6.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：M）

解析：根據(jù)空格前的系動詞was和副詞immediately可知這里填入形容詞

或分詞。聯(lián)系上下文，計算機的出現(xiàn)從根本上改變了通信革命的進程，但它對于

媒介的影響當時并沒有立刻……。apparent”顯而易見的”代入其中，文意通順，

且與上文的radicallychanged形成呼應(yīng)。

7.（分數(shù):3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：G）

解析：此處需要名詞，與storage連用。文中要表達的是計算機的儲存容量，

能與storage連用表示這一概念的只有capacity”容量二

8.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：E）

解析：空格處填入動詞作謂語，表示主語revolution如何作用于賓語。上

文主要講述了計算機作為媒介所帶來的變化;這里則延伸到了通訊革命。有變革，

就必然帶來影響，下文的economic、political、socialandculturalimplication

證了此處講的是一種影響，改選influenced"影響”。

9.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：I）

解析：空格處需填入名詞、分詞或形容詞修飾views。轉(zhuǎn)折詞but表明此處

應(yīng)為否定或負面的看法；后文兩個加引號的詞benefits和harmful進一步印證了

這種看法應(yīng)該是褒貶不一的，故選controversial"有爭議的"，表示通信革命對經(jīng)

濟、政治、社會文化的意義存在爭議。

10.（分數(shù)；3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：L）

解析：此處需要填入名詞，與harmful構(gòu)成名詞詞組對應(yīng)前面提到的名詞

Benefits“益處二注意此處benefit為復(fù)數(shù)，詞庫中只有outcomes為復(fù)數(shù)形式，

與harmful搭配表示“害處”。
