(A) Bags of Love Last year, I was assigned to work at an office near my mother’s house, so I stayed with her for a month.

Over the years, designers and artists have been trying to 41 the essentials of good design. They have found that some sayings can help people understandthe ideas of good design. There are four as follows. Less is more. This saying is associated with the German-born architect Mies van der Rohe. In his Modernist view, beauty lies in simplicity and elegance, and the aim of the designer is to create solutions to problems through the most efficient means. Design should avoid unnecessary42 More is not a bore. The American-born architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicity is done badly, the result is decoration and color again. Product design was heavily influenced by this view and can be seen in kitchen 45such as ovens and kettles. 43 design.Post-Modernist designers began to 44 with Fitness for purpose. Successful product design takes into consideration a product’s function, purpose, shape, form, color, and so on.

Most importantly, it needs to48 lightwhere it is needed. From follows emotion. This phrase is associated with the German designer Hartmut Esslinger. He believes design must take into49 thesensory side of our nature—sight, smell, touch 46 . For example, think of a(n) 47 desk lamp. It needs to be constructed and taste. These are as important as rational(理性的).

Reading Comprehension[来源:学§科§网] Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the mow famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people instinctively 51 work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work. In any case, despite so much evidence to the 52 ,many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, 53 , that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from 54 without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers. Different cultures have different ways of some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making—all members of the department or work group are asked to56 tothis process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general57 .Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional58 managerscannot. A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make 55 people. Unlike authoritarian management, decisions on their own without59 the trend towards downsizing:60 de-layering in this way, a company may be front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the managers first. This empowerment (授权) has been part of the number of management layers in companies. After 61 with just a top level of senior managers, idea of delegation (委托) much further than has62 mean new forms of management control to63 been the case. Empowerment and delegation that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less. Another trend is off-site or64 management,where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the65 of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them. 51.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished sattments. For each of them there are four choices markedA, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word “Poems” appeared in big, hot pink letters.[来源:学#科#网] “Is it good?” I asked her. “Yeah,” she answered. “There’s one I really like and you’ll like it, too.” I leaned forward. “‘Patty Poem,’” she read the title. Who is Patty? I wondered. The poem began: She never puts her toys away, ①①Just leaves them scatteredwhere they lay,… 散乱的 The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly: ②②When she grows and gathers poise, 稳重 ③③④I’ll miss her harum-scarumnoise, 莽撞的 ④And look in vainfor scattered toys. 徒劳地 And I’ll be sad. A terrible sorrow washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock. “It’s you, honey,” My mother said sadly. To my mother, the poem revealed a parent’s affection when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the “she” in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible I burst out crying. “What’s wrong?” my mother asked. “Oh Mama,” I cried. “I don’t want to grow up ever!” She smiled. “Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay?” “Okay,” I was still weeping. My panic has gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple I could plainly understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry, words that had the power to make or break a person’s world. I have since fallen in love with other poems, but “Patty Poem” remains my poem. After all, “Patty Poem” gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most. 66. Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again? 第 6 页 共 33 页 A. It was a thick enough book. B. Something on its cover caught her eye. C. Her mother was reading it with interest. D. It has a meaningful title. 67. After her mother read the poem to her, the writer felt ______ at first. A. sad B. excited C. horrified D. confused 68. The writer’s mother liked to read “Patty Poem” probably because______. A. it reflected her own childhood B. it was written in simple language C. it was composed by a famous poet[来源:Zxxk.Com] D. it gave her a hint of what would happen 69. It can be concluded from the passage that“Patty Poem”leads the writer to _______. A. discover the power of poetry B. recognize her love for puzzles C. find her eagerness to grow up D. experience great homesickness （B） Is there link between humans and climate change or not? This question was first studied in the early 1900s. Since then, many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference. In 1997, the Kyoto Protocol explained our role in the Earth’s changing atmosphere and set international limits for gas emissions( 排放) from 2008 to 2012. Some countries have decided to continue these reductions until 2020. More recently, the Paris Agreement, stuck by nearly 200 countries, also aims to limit global warming. But just now how much warmer it will getdepends on how deeply countries cut carbon emissions. 3.5℃ This is how much temperatures would rise by 2100 even if nations live up to the initial Paris promises to reduce carbon emissions; this rise could still put coastal cities under water and drive over half of all species to extinction. 2℃ To meet this minimum goal, the Agreement requires countries to tighten emissions targets every five years. Even this increase could sink some islands, worse drought( 干旱) and drive a decline of up to a third in the number of species. 1.5℃ This is the most ambitious goal for temperature rise set by the Paris Agreement, after a push by low-lying island nations like Kiribati, which say limiting temperature rise to 1.5℃ could save them from sinking. 第 7 页 共 33 页 0.8℃ This is how much temperatures have risen since the industrial age began, putting us 40% of the way to the 2℃ point. 0℃ The baseline here is average global temperature before the start of the industrial age. 70. It can be concluded from paragraph 1 that _______. A. the problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020 B. gas emissions have been effectively reduced in developed countries C. the Paris Agreements is more influential than the Kyoto Protocol D. humans have made continuous efforts to slow down global warming 71. If nations could only keep the initial promises of the Paris Agreement, what would happen by the year 2100? A. The human population would increase by one third. B. Little over 50% of all species would still exist. C. Nations would not need to tighten their emissions targets. D. The Agreement’s minimum goal would not be reached. 72. If those island nations not far above sea level are to survive, the maximum temperature rise, since the start of the industrial age, should be_______. A. 0.8℃ C. 2℃ B. 1.5℃ D. 3.5℃ (C) Enough “meaningless drivel”. That’s the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data. The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee’s report, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark (认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions. “The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,” says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee. Instead, he says, firms should provide a plain-English version of their terms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original. It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis. “we need to think through how we make that work in practice,” says Miller. Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? “I think if you went and did the survey, 第 8 页 共 33 页 people would like to think they would,” says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data. “We doknow people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information.” But what would happen in practice is another matter, he says. Other organisations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand, but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. “We still don’t know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years’ time,” he says. Shadbolt, who gave evidence to the committee, says the problem is that we don’t know how co mpanies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving. Large collections of personal information have become valuable only recently, he says. The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don’t expect, even if users have apparently permission, show that the current situation isn’t working. If properly administered, a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to. Although they would still have to actually read them. 73. What does the phrase “ meaningless drivel” in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to? A. Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to. B. Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites. C. Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly. D. Insignificant data collected by social media firms. 74. It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether _______. A. social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark scheme B. people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they think C. a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scale D. the kitemark would help companies develop their business models 75. Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because _______. A. their users consist largely of kids under 20 years old B. the language in their contracts is usually harder to understand C. the information they collected could become more valuable in future D. it remains unknown how users’ data will be taken advantage of 76. The writer advises users of social media to _______. A. think carefully before posting anything onto such websites B. read the terms and conditions even if there is a kitemark C. take no further action if they can find a kitemark D. avoid providing too much personal information 77. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. Say no to social media? B. New security rules in operation? C. Accept without reading? D. Administration matters! Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. 第 9 页 共 33 页 Walking will be banned on escalators as part of a trail designed to reduce congestion(拥堵) at some of the country’s busiest stations. In the first move of its kind, all travelers will be forced to stand on both sides of escalators on the London Underground as part of a plan to increase capacity(容量) at the height of the rush hour. A six-month trial will be introduced at Holborn station from mid-April, eliminating the rule of standing on the right and walking on the left. The move, imitating a similar structure in Far eastern cities such as Hong Kong, is designed to increase the number of people using long escalators at the busiest times . it could be expanded across the Tube network in coming years. According to London Underground, only 40 percent of travelers walk the full length of long escalators, leaving the majority at the bottom as they wait to get on to the “standing “side. A three-week trial at Holborn last year found that the number of people using escalators at any time of could be raised by almost a third. Peter McNaught, operations director at London Underground, said: “It may not seem right that you can go quicker by standing still, but our experiments at Holborn have proved that it can be true. This new six-month trial will help us find out if we can influence customers to stand on both sides in the long term.” Holborn has one of the longest sets of escalators on the Underground network at 23.4 high. Tube bosses claim that capacity was limited because so few people wanted to walk up—meaning only one side was used at all times. Research has shown that it is more effective use of escalators over 18.5 to ban walking. The previous trial found that escalators at the station normally carried 2,500 people between 8:30am and 9:30am on a typical day, rising to 3,250 during the researching period. In the new trial, which will be launched from April 18, one of three “up” escalators will be standing only, with a second banning walking at peak times. A third will remain a mix of walking and standing. (Note: Answering the questions the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.) 78. What is the existing problem with standing on the right and walking on the left? 79. What did last year’s three-week trial at Holborn station prove? 80.The research suggests that walking should be forbidden on escalators that are at least _________ in height. 81. In the new trail, in addition to one escalator banning walking in rush hours, the other “up” escalators will be used for_________________. 第 II 卷(共 47 分) I.

Section B 第 12 页 共 33 页 Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard. Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage. Not everyone knows clearly how to build personal savings, but a savings plan started on a website has helped many put away a nice tidy sum. The fifty-two week money challenge is simple and if it is maintained, it will result in 1378 dollars in your savings account each year. It starts with saving an amount equaling 1 dollar in week 1, 2 dollars in week 2, 3 dollars in week 3, and continues right through the year until 52 dollars in week 52. While these are small in significant amounts, at the end of the year, you will have enough for an emergency fund, family celebration or holiday. Another simple way of building some savings is by depositing as little as two percent of your monthly income into a savings account. The key is that before bills and living expenses start to eat away your salary, you should put aside the savings portion of your pay.Once you have reached a thousand dollars, you’ll find you probably have the motivation to continue to save even more. Questions: 11. Accordingto the fifty-two money challenges, how much should be put away in week 3? 12. Whatdoes the speaker suggest people do with their monthly income? 13. Whatis the speaker mainly talking about? Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. Life in the town of Tivaton is made up of both good news and bad news. At a local school a successful charity supper has been held. They made more than one thousand dollars and the local family in need got the majority of it. Many people came to the event and the family was very grateful. Yet the bad news is students have been made to wait outside before school. It has been really cold lately and the school should consider letting the students in to get warm before the weather gets even colder. In the town of Tivaton, a new ice-cream store, the MuddyMoos, is opened. It’s a great place to get ice-cream, coffee and other food. As for the bad news, a new bank has been built. While it is good to have a bank nearby, it has also brought much more traffic. In the morning on the way to school, it’s horrible. There is really no space for any more new buildings in the town. Tivaton is more and more like a big city. On reviewing these local news events, it seems Tivaton has a balance of good news and bad news. At least there is enough good news, so it remains a good place for the residents to enjoy their life. Questions: 14. Forthe local family in need of help, what did they get? 15. Accordingto the speaker, what should the school do? 16. Whatdoes the speaker think of the town of Tivaton? Section C Directions: In Section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice. After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the information you have heard.

So how do you explain your job to kids? W: I give a very simplified version of what a judge does. I talk to them about how the law helps people solve their problems. M: What’s your idea of happiness? W: I think it would be satisfaction of enjoying things with others, meaning when you give it to others, whether it’s time, attention, a gift, anything, just those moments of sharing. M: Thank you, Sue. 第 14 页 共 33 页 上海英语参考答案 第 I 卷 第一大题第 1 至第 10 小题，每题 1 分；第 11 至第 16 小题，每题 2 分；第 17 题至第 24 题， 每题 1 分。共 30 分。 1.D 2.B 3.A 4.B 14.B 5.D 6.C 7.B 8.C 9.C 10.A 11.C12.D 17.Deadline 13.A 15.A 16.C 18. photos 19.stadium 20.

After less than a week, I started noticing that the groceries were running out pretty quickly — we were always suddenly out of something. (25)_______(wonder) how my mum could consume them so quickly, I began observing her daily routine for two weeks.

Over the years, designers and artists have been trying to 41 the essentials of good design. They have found that some sayings can help people understandthe ideas of good design. There are four as follows. Less is more. This saying is associated with the German-born architect Mies van der Rohe. In his Modernist view, beauty lies in simplicity and elegance, and the aim of the designer is to create solutions to problems through the most efficient means. Design should avoid unnecessary42 More is not a bore. The American-born architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicity is done badly, the result is 43 design.Post-Modernist designers began to 44 with decoration and color again. Product design was heavily influenced by this view and can be seen in 第 21 页 共 33 页 kitchen 45 such as ovens and kettles. Fitness for purpose. Successful product design takes into consideration a product’s function, purpose, shape, form, color, and so on. The most important result for the user is that the product does what is from materials that will stand the heat of the lamp and regular adjustments by the user. It also needs to be stable. Most importantly, it needs to48 lightwhere it is needed. From follows emotion. This phrase is associated with the German designer Hartmut Esslinger. He believes design must take into49 thesensory side of our nature—sight, smell, touch and taste. These are as important as rational(理性的). When choosing everyday products suchas 46 . For example, think of a(n) 47 desk lamp. It needs to be constructed toothpaste, we appreciate a cool-looking device that allows us to easily 50 the toothpaste onto our brush. 【答案】 41.

Reading Comprehension[来源:学§科§网] Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. 第 22 页 共 33 页 In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the mow famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people instinctively 51 work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work. In any case, despite so much evidence to the 52 ,many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, 53 , that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from 54 without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers. Different cultures have different ways of some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making—all members of the department or work group are asked to56 tothis process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general57 .Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional58 managerscannot. A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make 55 people. Unlike authoritarian management, decisions on their own without59 the trend towards downsizing:60 de-layering in this way, a company may be front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the managers first. This empowerment (授权) has been part of the number of management layers in companies. After 61 with just a top level of senior managers, idea of delegation (委托) much further than has62 mean new forms of management control to63 been the case. Empowerment and delegation that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less. Another trend is off-site or64 management,where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the65 of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them. 51.

C 【解析】 试题分析：本文是说明文，作者在第一段中提出道格拉斯·麦克雷戈所提出的人性假设理论 中的 X 理论和 Y 理论，并介绍了现代社会中一种新型管理理论：授权管理及其作用。 51.D 考查上下文串联。根据后半句“….will do anything to avoid it”可知很多人为了避免工 作而愿意做任何事情，说明那些人大多数人生性都是懒惰的，都不愿意工作，他们尽可能地 逃避工作。故 D 项正确。 52.A 考查上下文串联。短语 to the contrary 相反的；to the degree 在某种程度上；to the extreme 走向极端；在文章第一段中提到了 X 理论，大多数人都缺乏进取心和责任心，不愿对人和 事负责，没有什么雄心壮志，不喜欢负责任，宁可被领导。而 Y 理论认为大多数人愿意对 工作、对他人负责，人们愿意实行自我管理和自我控制来完成应当完成的目标。这是两种完 全相反的理论，尽管对于这两种完全相反的理论有很多的证据，很多管理人仍然同意 X 理 论。故 A 正确。 53.B 考查上下文串联。本句中 for example 表示举例说明；这些管理人仍然同意 X 理论，例 如他们认为如果要员工效率高，就需要给与他们不断的监督。这属于 X 理论的举例说明。 故 B 正确。 54.D 考查上下文串联。根据后句“…makes for authoritarian managers….”可知这属于专制的 管理方法，他们的决定是来自上而下的，没有任何商量的余地。故 D 项“above 上面的”正 确。 55.C 考查上下文串联。根据前段可知本文讨论的管理学的理论，使用本句使用动词“manage 管理”，不同的文化中有不同的管理人的方法。而且和下文中亚洲、西方的管理方法形成呼 应。故 C 正确。 56.B 考查动词短语辨析。短语 refer to 提到，谈到；contribute to 做贡献；导致；object to 反 对；apply to 适用于；亚洲人使用的是协商式的管理方法，所有人都被要求对管理的过程做 出自己的贡献。故 B 正确。 57.A 考查上下文串联。名词 agreement 同意；practice 练习，做法；election 选举；impression 印象；亚洲人使用协商式的管理方法，这种方法是建立在共同的协议基础之上的，西方人也 想学习这样的管理方法。故 A 正确。 58.D 考查上下文串联。根据前半句“….women will become more effective managers than men….”可知有些专家认为女性比男性管理更高效。因为女性更有亲和力，比男性管理人更 容易与别人达成一致的目标。故 D 正确。 59.A 考查上下文串联。根据前句“… encourage employees to use their own initiative…鼓励员 工使用自己的首创精神”，也就是说在做出决定的时候不要请示上级经理，自己做出决定即 可。故 A 项正确。 60.C 考查上下文串联。根据前句“the trend towards downsizing 缩小规模的趋势”，也就是要 减少管理层的数量，可以直接做出决定而不需要请示上级。故动词“reduce 减少”符合上下 文串联。 61.B 考查短语辨析辨析。动词 be honored with 被授予；be left with 留下，剩下；be crowded with 挤满；be compared with 与..相比；通过这种方法，公司只剩下高层管理者和前线的与公 众直接联系的一线管理人。省略了很多中央环节，提高了管理的效益。故 B 正确。 62.B 考查副词辨析。副词 economically 经济地；traditionally 传统地；inadequately 不充分地； occasionally 偶 尔 地 ； 根 据 后 句 “ Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management…”可知授权管理是一个新型的管理方法，与传统的管理模式不一样。故 B 正确。 第 24 页 共 33 页 63.D 考查动词辨析。动词 deny 否认；admit 承认；assume 假定，设想；ensure 保证，确保； 授权管理是一考点：考查说明文阅读 Section B Direction：Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished sattments. For each of them there are four choices markedA, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word “Poems” appeared in big, hot pink letters.[来源:学#科#网] “Is it good?” I asked her. “Yeah,” she answered. “There’s one I really like and you’ll like it, too.” I leaned forward. “‘Patty Poem,’” she read the title. Who is Patty? I wondered. The poem began: She never puts her toys away, ①①Just leaves them scatteredwhere they lay,… 散乱的 The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly: ②②When she grows and gathers poise, 稳重 ③③④I’ll miss her harum-scarumnoise, 莽撞的 ④And look in vainfor scattered toys. 徒劳地 And I’ll be sad. A terrible sorrow washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock. “It’s you, honey,” My mother said sadly. To my mother, the poem revealed a parent’s affection when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the “she” in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible I burst out crying. “What’s wrong?” my mother asked. “Oh Mama,” I cried. “I don’t want to grow up ever!” She smiled. “Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay?” “Okay,” I was still weeping. My panic has gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple I could plainly 第 25 页 共 33 页 understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry, words that had the power to make or break a person’s world. I have since fallen in love with other poems, but “Patty Poem” remains my poem. After all, “Patty Poem” gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most. 66. Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again? A. It was a thick enough book. B. Something on its cover caught her eye. C. Her mother was reading it with interest. D. It has a meaningful title. 67. After her mother read the poem to her, the writer felt ______ at first. A. sad B. excited C. horrified D. confused 68. The writer’s mother liked to read “Patty Poem” probably because______. A. it reflected her own childhood B. it was written in simple language C. it was composed by a famous poet[来源:Zxxk.Com] D. it gave her a hint of what would happen 69. It can be concluded from the passage that“Patty Poem”leads the writer to _______. A. discover the power of poetry B. recognize her love for puzzles C. find her eagerness to grow up D. experience great homesickness 【答案】66. B 67. A 68. D 69. A To me, the “she” in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad.可知对妈妈 来说这首诗让她想起我也会长大也会离开她，她也会因为我的离开而非常难受。所以 这本书让她把未来可能发生的事情联系了起来。故 D 项正确 69.A 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I have since fallen in love with other poems, but “Patty Poem” remains my poem. After all, “Patty Poem” gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.”可知这首诗让作者感受了诗歌的美，让作者爱上了诗歌，这首因为她发现诗 歌有强烈的情感冲击力。故 A 项正确。 考点：考查记叙文阅读 （B） Is there link between humans and climate change or not? This question was first 第 26 页 共 33 页 studied in the early 1900s. Since then, many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference. In 1997, the Kyoto Protocol explained our role in the Earth’s changing atmosphere and set international limits for gas emissions( 排放) from 2008 to 2012. Some countries have decided to continue these reductions until 2020. More recently, the Paris Agreement, stuck by nearly 200 countries, also aims to limit global warming. But just now how much warmer it will getdepends on how deeply countries cut carbon emissions. 3.5℃ This is how much temperatures would rise by 2100 even if nations live up to the initial Paris promises to reduce carbon emissions; this rise could still put coastal cities under water and drive over half of all species to extinction. 2℃ To meet this minimum goal, the Agreement requires countries to tighten emissions targets every five years. Even this increase could sink some islands, worse drought(干旱) and drive a decline of up to a third in the number of species. 1.5℃ This is the most ambitious goal for temperature rise set by the Paris Agreement, after a push by low-lying island nations like Kiribati, which say limiting temperature rise to 1.5℃ could save them from sinking. 0.8℃ This is how much temperatures have risen since the industrial age began, putting us 40% of the way to the 2℃ point. 0℃ The baseline here is average global temperature before the start of the industrial age. 70. It can be concluded from paragraph 1 that _______. A. the problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020 B. gas emissions have been effectively reduced in developed countries C. the Paris Agreements is more influential than the Kyoto Protocol D. humans have made continuous efforts to slow down global warming 71. If nations could only keep the initial promises of the Paris Agreement, what would happen by the year 2100? 第 27 页 共 33 页 A. The human population would increase by one third. B. Little over 50% of all species would still exist. C. Nations would not need to tighten their emissions targets. D. The Agreement’s minimum goal would not be reached. 72. If those island nations not far above sea level are to survive, the maximum temperature rise, since the start of the industrial age, should be_______. A. 0.8℃ C. 2℃ B. 1.5℃ D. 3.5℃ 【答案】70. D 71. D72. B 【解析】 试题分析：本文介绍了人们一直努力减少温室气体的排放，并设立了到 2100 年我们应该达 成的目标以及达成目标要符合的条件。 70.D 推理判断题。根据文章第一段三至六句“Since then, many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference. In 1997, the Kyoto ……stuck by nearly 200 countries, also aims to limit global warming.”可知自从 20 世纪早期开始人类就一直在努力减少温室气体的排放， 希望能减缓全球变暖的趋势。故 D 项正确。 71.D 推理判断题。根据文章第二段 This is how much temperatures would rise by 2100 even if nations live up to the initial Paris promises to reduce carbon emissions;可知如果各国的气体排放 能够符合巴黎协议的要求，到考点：考查说明文阅读 (C) Enough “meaningless drivel”. That’s the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data. The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee’s report, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark (认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions. “The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,” says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee. Instead, he says, firms should provide a plain-English version of their terms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original. It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis. “we need to think through how we make that work in practice,” says Miller. Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? “I think if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would,” says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data. “We doknow people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their 第 28 页 共 33 页 information.” But what would happen in practice is another matter, he says. Other organisations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand, but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. “We still don’t know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years’ time,” he says. Shadbolt, who gave evidence to the committee, says the problem is that we don’t know how co mpanies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving. Large collections of personal information have become valuable only recently, he says. The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don’t expect, even if users have apparently permission, show that the current situation isn’t working. If properly administered, a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to. Although they would still have to actually read them. 73. What does the phrase “ meaningless drivel” in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to? A. Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to. B. Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites. C. Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly. D. Insignificant data collected by social media firms. 74. It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether _______. A. social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark scheme B. people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they think C. a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scale D. the kitemark would help companies develop their business models 75. Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because _______. A. their users consist largely of kids under 20 years old B. the language in their contracts is usually harder to understand C. the information they collected could become more valuable in future D. it remains unknown how users’ data will be taken advantage of 76. The writer advises users of social media to _______. A. think carefully before posting anything onto such websites B. read the terms and conditions even if there is a kitemark C. take no further action if they can find a kitemark D. avoid providing too much personal information 77. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. Say no to social media? B. New security rules in operation? C. Accept without reading? D. Administration matters! 【答案】73. A 74. B 75. D 76. B 77. C 【解析】 试题分析：当我们在社交媒体上注册登记的时候，总会签署一些无意义的法律合同，文章就 此现象展开了讨论，并列举了多人的不同观点。 73.A 词义猜测题。根据第一段第一句“…… has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts….”可知很多社交媒体公司和用户签订了没有意义的法律合 第 29 页 共 33 页 同。而这些合同是没有意义的废话，也起不到任何作用，很多用户根本没有仔细阅读合同的 具体内容。故 A 正确。 74.B 推理判断题。根据第五段前二句“Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? “I think if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would,” says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data.”可知 Nigel Shadbolt 认为如果我们去 做相关调查，人们会认为他们会很注意这些认证标记的。故 B 项正确。 75.D 推理判断题。根据第六段最后一句“We still don’t know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years’ time,” he says.可知我们现在还不知道所签署的这些长期的无意义的合同未来会 给他们带来什么样的影响。也不知道未来人们会怎么利用这样的信息。故 D 项正确。 76.B 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句 If properly administered, a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to. Although they would still have to actually read them.可知文章建议我们即使有认证标志，我们呀应该认真阅读那些无意 义的合同中的条款和内容，我们要知道我们所签署的协议的具体内容。故 B 正确。 77.C 标题概括题。现在的网站中或者社交媒体软件中，我们在注册用户名或安装的时候， 总会有一些合同或条约让我们签署。很多人从来都没有详细阅读这些合同条款就签名了。文 章就此话题展开讨论，作者提出我们应该仔细阅读条款内容，然后在签名。故 C 项“Accept without reading?未阅读就接受”符合文章中心思想。其余三项与文章内容不贴切。 考点：考查社会现象类阅读 Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Walking will be banned on escalators as part of a trail designed to reduce congestion(拥堵) at some of the country’s busiest stations. In the first move of its kind, all travelers will be forced to stand on both sides of escalators on the London Underground as part of a plan to increase capacity(容量) at the height of the rush hour. A six-month trial will be introduced at Holborn station from mid-April, eliminating the rule of standing on the right and walking on the left. The move, imitating a similar structure in Far eastern cities such as Hong Kong, is designed to increase the number of people using long escalators at the busiest times . it could be expanded across the Tube network in coming years. According to London Underground, only 40 percent of travelers walk the full length of long escalators, leaving the majority at the bottom as they wait to get on to the “standing “side. A three-week trial at Holborn last year found that the number of people using escalators at any time of could be raised by almost a third. Peter McNaught, operations director at London Underground, said: “It may not seem right that you can go quicker by standing still, but our experiments at Holborn have proved that it can be true. This new six-month trial will help us find out if we can influence customers to stand on both sides in the long term.” Holborn has one of the longest sets of escalators on the Underground network at 23.4 high. Tube bosses claim that capacity was limited because so few people wanted to walk up—meaning only one side was used at all times. Research has shown that it is more effective use of escalators over 18.5 to ban walking. The previous trial found that escalators at the station normally carried 2,500 people between 第 30 页 共 33 页 8:30am and 9:30am on a typical day, rising to 3,250 during the researching period. In the new trial, which will be launched from April 18, one of three “up” escalators will be standing only, with a second banning walking at peak times. A third will remain a mix of walking and standing. (Note: Answering the questions the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.) 78. What is the existing problem with standing on the right and walking on the left? 79. What did last year’s three-week trial at Holborn station prove? 80.The research suggests that walking should be forbidden on escalators that are at least _________ in height. 81. In the new trail, in addition to one escalator banning walking in rush hours, the other “up” escalators will be used for_________________. 【答案】 78. The capacity of escalators hasn’t been made full use of. 79. Passengerscan go quicker by standing still. 80. 18.5m 81. standing only and a mix of walking and standing 【解析】 试题分析：本文属于议论文，禁止人们在电子扶梯上走动，并让所有的乘客站在扶梯的两边， 这种做法增加了电子扶梯的容量，文章就此内容展开讨论。 78. The capacity of escalators hasn’t been made full use of. 推理判断题。根据第二段 In the first move of its kind, all travelers will be forced to stand on both sides of escalators on the London Underground as part of a plan to increase capacity(容量) at the height of the rush hour.所有的游客将被迫站在电子扶梯的两边，以增加电子扶梯的载客量， 减轻高峰期的交通压力。也就是说原来的方法并没有充分利用好电子扶梯的容量。 79. Passengerscan go quicker by standing still. 细节理解题。根据第五段第一句 A three-week trial at Holborn last year found that the number of people using escalators at any time of could be raised by almost a third.可知在 Holborn 进行的为 期的三周的测试发现乘客们 考点：考查任务型阅读 第 II 卷(共 47 分) II.

I really hope that my article will be published in a newspaper someday. 动词 hope“希望”本身就含有未来的语义，后面所接从句通常表示将来的事情。本句中副 词 someday 意为“有朝一日”通常和一般将来时连用。 2. The late twentieth century witnessed the rapid development of China’s economy. 动词 witness 目睹，见证；本句属于拟人化的修辞，使用无生命的事物做主语。同时注意时 态，二十世纪属于过去的时间，所以使用一般过去时的时态。 3. What is the point of/in lining up for the whole night just to buy a pair of sports shoes? / Is there any point (in) lining up for the whole night just to buy a pair of sports shoes? 本句可以使用固定句型：There is a point in doing sth 做某事有意义； 4. Although I was then too young to understand the meaning of the film, I remember my family were moved to tears. 本句中 although 引导让步状语从句，表示上下文的转折关系。同时固定结构“too…to…太…. 而不能…..”表示否定含义。 5. The moment my aunt gained her diploma after four years of hard work, she was filled with joy. 本句中名词短语 the moment 转换成连词短语，意为“一…就….”，引导时间状语从句。 考点：考查完成句子 II.
