Passage B
As you probably know, learning a foreign language is sometimes challenging. But it can also be fun. Learning to speak a second language opens doors to new opportunities, helps you to communicate with others and makes travelling overseas more satisfactory.
It might come as a surprise that the number of teenagers learning foreign languages in UK secondary schools has dropped by 45% since the turn of the millennium. Another survey of secondary schools suggests a third of students have dropped at least one language from their GCSE exam options. There are some reasons for this, including many students’ opinion that languages are difficult. Others have questioned the need for a second language when translation technology is advancing.
Matthew Fell, chief UK policy director for business group the CBI, believes that “The decline in language learning in schools must be reversed, or else the UK will be less competitive globally and young people less prepared for the modern world.”
Some native English speakers have admitted the benefits of speaking another tongue. Cassandra Scott, from Edinburgh, studied three languages in her final year at school. She is now a freelance translator in Edinburgh, and says “Learning languages at school really set the course for my career.”
4. How does the author show the fact that fewer people have learned foreign languages
A. By offering background information. B. By giving specific examples.
C. By analyzing underlying reasons. D. By showing personal research.
5. What does the underlined word “reversed” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Developed rapidly. B. Pushed quickly.
C. Changed completely. D. Maintained properly.
6. What can we learn from the passage
A. A fulfilling overseas travel requires another foreign language.
B. Learning languages at school may contribute to one’s future career.
C. Native English speakers benefit more from speaking another tongue.
D. With the translation technology, there’s no need to learn foreign languages.
7. What’s the purpose of the passage
A. To criticize people’s ignorance of foreign languages.
B. To stress the significance of learning foreign languages.
C. To state the result of dropping learning foreign languages.
D. To raise people’s awareness of protecting native languages.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章中作者通过具体事例说明了学习外语的重要性。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“It might come as a surprise that the number of teenagers learning foreign languages in UK secondary schools has dropped by 45% since the turn of the millennium. German and French have fallen the most-these languages from two of the UK’s closest trading partners have declined at GCSE level. Another survey of secondary schools suggests a third of students have dropped at least one language from their GCSE exam options.(自千禧年以来，在英国中学学习外语的青少年人数下降了45%，这可能令人惊讶。德语和法语作为英国最亲密的两个贸易伙伴的语言，是下降最多的语言。另一项针对中学的调查显示，三分之一的学生在GCSE考试中至少放弃了一门语言)”可知，作者通过举例说明了学习外语的人变少了。故选B。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句的后半句“or else the UK will be less competitive globally and young people less prepared for the modern world.(否则英国的全球竞争力将降低，年轻人面对现代世界的准备也将不充分)”可推知，如果学习外语人数减少的状况得不到改变的话就会导致这样的后果，由此可推知，划线词reversed与C项Changed completely“完全改变”表达的意思相近。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“She is now a freelance translator in Edinburgh, and says “Learning languages at school really set the course for my career.”(她现在是爱丁堡的一名自由译者，她说：“在学校学习外语真的为我的职业生涯定下了方向。”)”可知，学习外语对一个人的职业生涯是有帮助的。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Matthew Fell, chief UK policy director for business group the CBI, believes that “The decline in language learning in schools must be reversed, or else the UK will be less competitive globally and young people less prepared for the modern world.” (英国工商界联合会（CBI）英国首席政策总监Matthew Fell认为，“必须扭转学校语言学习下降的趋势，否则英国的全球竞争力将降低，年轻人面对现代世界的准备也将不充分。”)”及最后一段最后一句“She is now a freelance translator in Edinburgh, and says “Learning languages at school really set the course for my career.”(她现在是爱丁堡的一名自由译者，她说：“在学校学习语言真的为我的职业生涯定下了方向。”)”可知，作者引用别人的话以说明学习外语的重要性，因此本文的目的是为了强调学习外语的重要性。故选B。
Passage C
It’s an all too common story: A young child walks off during a party and falls into a backyard pool. No one notices she’s missing——until it’s too late. When Grayson Barron learned of such a disaster in a friend’s neighborhood, the 18-year-old immediately jumped into problem-solving mode. The new pool alarm system he’s just developed sends out several types of warnings when someone or something splashes into an unguarded pool.
Grayson calls his floating system “The Buoy (浮标)”. A large splash will trigger its built-in sensors to send out a series of alerts——a flashing light, an alarm that sounds like a loud doorbell and a text to the owner’s mobile phone.
Grayson’s is not the first pool alarm, but the teen says others all have disadvantages. Some are very costly. Others can become stuck in corners of a pool. He wanted a low-cost option that was reliable (可靠的). Grayson 3-D printed the main part of his device, then attached sensors. He then equipped the device with a light, a speaker and a wireless network that can send texts. A battery, which is hooked up to solar panels, keeps the system charged for months.
While hard to design, the new system “is so easy to use,” says Grayson. “All I do is turn it on and throw it into a pool.” After that, he says, it just “does its thing”.
8. Why was a child falling into a pool mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To remind the importance of safety. B. To prepare for the topic of the text.
C. To praise Grayson Barron. D. To show accidents are everywhere.
9. What can you learn from the last paragraph
A. Grayson’s pool alarm can work by itself after being turned on and thrown into the pool.
B. The system of Grayson’s pool alarm is out of control.
C. Grayson’s pool alarm must be operated by man.
D. Grayson’s pool alarm is easy to design and easy to use.
10. Which of the following is the disadvantage of Grayson’s pool alarm
A. It is very expensive. B. It s easy to get stuck.
C. It easy to lose balance. D. It s difficult to design.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Teens’ Tech Will Send Alerts to Reduce Deaths
B. Grayson Barron Saved a Lot of Lives
C. Many People Are Drowned Every Year
D. Grayson Has Invented Much Device
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了Grayson Barron开发了新泳池报警系统，在有人或有东西进入无人看管的泳池时会发出几种类型的警告，这对于不幸掉入水池的人来说是一大救星。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“When Grayson Barron learned of such a tragedy in a friend’s neighborhood, the 18-year-old immediately jumped into problem-solving mode. The new pool alarm system he’s just developed sends out several types of warnings when someone or something splashes into an unguarded pool.(当18岁的Grayson Barron得知朋友家附近发生了这样的悲剧时，他立即投入到解决问题的模式中。他刚刚开发的新泳池报警系统会在有人或某物溅入无人保护的泳池时发出几种警告。)”可知，作者在文章的开头提到一个小孩掉人游泳池的目的是引出此文要讲述的话题。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“While hard to design, the new system “is so easy to use,” says Grayson. “All I do is turn it on and throw it into a pool.” After that, he says, it just “does its thing”.(格雷森说，虽然很难设计，但新系统“非常容易使用”。“我所做的就是打开它，把它扔进游泳池。”在那之后，他说，它只是“做它自己的事情”。)”可知，格雷森的泳池报警器可以在打开并扔进泳池后自动工作。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“While hard to design, the new system “is so easy to use,” says Grayson.(Grayson说，虽然很难设计，但新系统“非常容易使用”。)”可知，Grayson的泳池警报器的缺点是设计很难。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“When Grayson Barron learned of such a tragedy in a friend’s neighborhood, the 18-year-old immediately jumped into problem-solving mode. The new pool alarm system he’s just developed sends out several types of warnings when someone or something splashes into an unguarded pool.(当18岁的Grayson Barron得知朋友家附近发生了这样的悲剧时，他立即投入到解决问题的模式中。他刚刚开发的新泳池报警系统会在有人或某物溅入无人保护的泳池时发出几种警告。)”可知，文章主要讲的是Grayson Barron开发了新泳池报警系统，在有人或有东西进入无人看管的泳池时会发出几种类型的警告，这对于不幸掉入水池的人来说是一大救星，因此最恰当的标题是A选项“Teens’ Tech Will Send Alerts to Reduce Deaths(青少年的科技将发送警报以减少死亡)”。故选A。
Passage D
Every morning, I eat the same breakfast. Every evening, I eat a different dinner. Strange But I’m not alone. Why do we avoid variety in the morning, yet later in the same day, seek variety in our choice of food
Part of the answer is biological. We are most energetic in the morning, and our arousal level (唤醒水平) declines from that top until we go to sleep. So we may prefer less stimulating (刺激的) foods in the morning to avoid feeling overstimulated.
Part of the answer is cultural. The modern workday means we have the least time for meals in the morning. If we find a breakfast rewarding and efficient, eating that same food for breakfast will become a habit we stick to.
However, much of the answer still lies in psychology - not that we believe breakfast is not important but that people follow different goals when eating breakfast and other meals.
What goals are we following in our meals Two goals influence all kinds of decisions about what we eat — hedonic (享乐的) and practical goals. Hedonic goals drive people to eat foods that provide pleasurable experiences and feelings, and practical goals drive people to eat to efficiently achieve other aims such as weight control, health, convenience or efficiency.
Whether the goals come from our culture or biology, they appear to be the psychological driver of our tendency to eat the same breakfast day after day. In that case we can have control over the goals to improve our diet. Why not have a try
12. Which example shows breakfast is eaten for the hedonic goal
A. I order a tiramisu because I love its creamy flavor.
B. I order an egg because it’s a good source of protein.
C. I order dumplings because they make me energized.
D. I order bread and milk because it saves me much time.
13. What is the biological reason for lack of variety in breakfast
A. To increase arousal level. B. To be more energetic.
C. To improve efficiency. D. To avoid overstimulation.
14. What’s the structure of the text
( ①=Para.1 ②=Para.2 ③=Para.3 ④=Para.4 ⑤=Para.5 ⑥=Par.6 )
A. ①-②③④-⑤/⑥ B. ①-②③/④-⑤⑥
C. ①-②③/④⑤-⑥ D. ①-②③/④-⑤/⑥
15. What’s the best title for the text
A. Breakfast Matters A Lot B. What Breakfast Tells Us
C. Goals Of The Same Breakfast D. Behind Repeated Breakfast
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了每天早上我们都吃同样的早餐的原因。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Hedonic goals drive people to eat foods that provide pleasurable experiences and feelings(享乐主义的目标驱使人们吃能带来愉悦体验和感觉的食物)”可推知，A项“我点了提拉米苏，因为我喜欢它的奶油味”表明早餐是为了享乐目标而吃的。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Part of the answer is biological. We are most energetic in the morning, and our arousal level (唤醒水平) declines from that top until we go to sleep. So we may prefer less stimulating foods in the morning to avoid feeling overstimulated.(部分原因是生理上的。早上是我们精力最充沛的时候，然后我们的觉醒水平就会下降，直到我们睡觉。因此，我们可能在早上更喜欢不那么刺激的食物，以避免感觉过度刺激。)”可知，早餐缺乏多样性的生物学原因是避免过度刺激。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一段提出来为什么我们在早上避免选择多样化的食物这个问题。第二到三段从生理上、文化解释了原因，是第一个分论点。第四段提出了人们在吃早餐和吃其他食物时追求不同的目标。第五段说明了我们在饮食上追求的目标有两个——享乐主义目标和实际目标。第六段呈现发现：越来越多的人从追求早餐的实际目标转变为获得快乐，因此四到五段是另一个分论点。第七段进行总结——我们可以控制目标来改进我们的饮食。因此①-②③/④⑤-⑥符合本文结构。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Why do we avoid variety in the morning, yet later in the same day, seek variety in our choice of food (为什么我们在早上避免多样化，而在当天晚些时候，在食物选择上寻求多样化？)”可知，第一段点明主题提出了每天早上我们都吃同样的早餐的问题，2、3、4段解释了其中的原因。因此D“重复早餐的背后”符合文意，最适合作为本文标题。故选D。

【点睛】关于七选五的做题步骤：
1、通读全文，对文章进行快速浏览，寻找主题句，抓住文章结构及文章的写作内容。在阅读过程中，要注意文章的开始与结束段落，尤其是文章的首段及末段末句，因为“开门见山”与“结尾总结”的写作方式为常见的写作方式，首段的末句一般是是全文的主题所在，说明本文将探讨哪些内容，并简要指出文章的写作思路，有时甚至会以提纲的形式进行呈现。首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题有重要意义。
2、详读段落，在短时间内，找出每段写作内容的关键词。明确各段的主题句或主旨大意。文章正文部分通常分为若干小段落。各段落会根据整体文章写作主题展开，对文章主体进行的不同方面的描述。找出各个小段落中的关键词，明确其描述内容，为整体试题的解决做好铺垫。阅读各个空的前后句，标记关键词，关键词包括句中的核心名词或名词词组（如带有形容词的名词词组）、专有名词、时间数字、代词、连词等。重点阅读各个问题附近的句子，圈定线索词，然后从选项中寻找相关的特征词，以确定答案。做题时可以采用代入排除法。如果一题做不出或拿不准，可先放过，继续往下读，先做容易的能做出的题，直到读完整篇文章。至此，文章的要点和主旨。
3、定位选项，明确各备选选项的含义，抓住其关键词语，根据文章整体结构与具体内容，将选项填入文中，填写时尤为注意各选项中出现的句子衔接手段及句中的衔接标志词。在定位选项时，要特别注意空格上下段的写作内容，以及空格上段尾句和下段首句的结构和意义。将所选项放入空白处，看看是否与上下文构成语义及逻辑上的直接关系，是否符合该处语境。能否承接前后的写作线索。使文章无论内容还是衔接上都能做到通顺。
4、通读复检，将所选答案代入文中，再次通读全文，重点考查逻辑关系和关联结构。在完成选项定位后，应通读全文，检查文章内容是否完整，语义是否连贯合理、各段落内容是否紧扣主题，语篇结构是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑，写作思路是否清晰明了，格式以及用语是否恰当贴切，从而判断选择的答案是否正确。同时，我们还应注意对相近选项的对比分析，个别干扰项由于与某个正确选项的内容相近具有很强的干扰性，这时就需要我们认真分析，排除干扰，从而得出正确选项。
5、确定排除，研究多余选项，确定排除理由，最终确定答案。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了联合国大会上口译和笔译的情况。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：联合国，简称UN，是一个政府间组织，其宗旨是维护国际和平与安全，发展国家间友好关系，实现国际合作，并成为协调各国行动的中心。分析句子，句中are为谓语动词，设空处使用非谓语动词。表示“，目的是去做某事”使用不定式作表语。故填to keep。
【37题详解】
考查连词。句意：同上。分析句子结构可知，此处的be与前面的develop和achieve形成并列关系。故填and。
【38题详解】
考查动词。句意：联合国成立于1945年，目前约有193个成员国。分析句子，设空处使用动词作谓语。句中now为一般现在时的标志，主语为it是第三人称单数。故填has。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：只使用两种语言的会议可能只需要一名口译员，而许多国家领导人聚集的大型活动可能需要70多名口译员。分析句子，设空处使用引导的是定语从句，引导词在从句中作地点状语，修饰先行词meetings，表示“在会议中”。故填where。
【40题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：同上。根据句中a bit可知，此处表示“较大的会议”应该使用比较级。large为形容词，意为“大的”，其比较级为larger。故填larger。
41题详解】
考查代词。句意：第一种方法是要求演讲者每隔几句就停下来，这样口译员就可以为听众翻译这些句子。分析句子，由空后的sentences可知，应用that的复数形式。故填those。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：第二种方法是口译员一边听一边翻译。分析句子，句中的one代替主语The second method，表特指。故填the。
【43题详解】
考查动词。句意：第二种方法比较困难，但解释器所在的位置并不那么重要。分析句子，设空处使用动词作谓语。句中be located为固定短语，意为“坐落于”，此处表示客观事实。故使用一般现在时。故填is located。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：口译员可以在与演讲者完全不同的位置，通过耳机收听，并为坐在另一个位置的观众翻译！分析句子，设空处应该使用complete的副词completely作状语，修饰形容词different，意为“完全地”。故填completely。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。分析句子，句中translate为谓语动词，设空处使用非谓语动词，audience与sit之间是主动关系，且表示进行，故使用现在分词作后置定语。故填sitting。

When I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally, there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.
This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of twelve. Their clothes were not expensive but very clean. They were well behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants and other acts they would see that night in low voices.
One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be a highlight of their young lives. A father and mother were at the head of the line, standing hand in hand.
The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady gave the price. The man’s wife let go of his hand, her head dropped and the man’s lips began to shake. The man leaned a little closer and asked, “ how much did you say ”
The ticket lady again gave the price. Obviously the man didn’t have enough money. How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn’t have enough money to take them all to the circus
Actually we were not wealthy in any sense. I felt sorry for them.

【答案】范文
Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand into his pocket, put out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground. Then he picked up, tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, this fell out of your pocket.” The men turned around and saw the money. He knew what was going on. He looked into my dad’s eyes, took my dad’s hand in both of his, and with his lips shaking and tear running down his check, he responded, “ Thank you, Thank you, sir. This really means a lot to me and my family.”
That day, my father and I went back to our car and drove home without buying any tickets. We didn’t go to the circus that night. When I asked dad why he did so, dad said, “My child, it was a hopeless, heartbreaking and embarrassing situation for a father. Surely he wasn’t begging for help, but he reminded me of my father, when I was young.” He stopped for a while, as if wandering in his memory. “We should appreciate what we have got from life and take every opportunity to help others.” We couldn’t go to the circus that night, but we felt happy.

Passage B
As you probably know, learning a foreign language is sometimes challenging. But it can also be fun. Learning to speak a second language opens doors to new opportunities, helps you to communicate with others and makes travelling overseas more satisfactory.
It might come as a surprise that the number of teenagers learning foreign languages in UK secondary schools has dropped by 45% since the turn of the millennium. Another survey of secondary schools suggests a third of students have dropped at least one language from their GCSE exam options. There are some reasons for this, including many students’ opinion that languages are difficult. Others have questioned the need for a second language when translation technology is advancing.
Matthew Fell, chief UK policy director for business group the CBI, believes that “The decline in language learning in schools must be reversed, or else the UK will be less competitive globally and young people less prepared for the modern world.”
Some native English speakers have admitted the benefits of speaking another tongue. Cassandra Scott, from Edinburgh, studied three languages in her final year at school. She is now a freelance translator in Edinburgh, and says “Learning languages at school really set the course for my career.”
4. How does the author show the fact that fewer people have learned foreign languages
A. By offering background information. B. By giving specific examples.
C. By analyzing underlying reasons. D. By showing personal research.
5. What does the underlined word “reversed” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Developed rapidly. B. Pushed quickly.
C. Changed completely. D. Maintained properly.
6. What can we learn from the passage
A. A fulfilling overseas travel requires another foreign language.
B. Learning languages at school may contribute to one’s future career.
C. Native English speakers benefit more from speaking another tongue.
D. With the translation technology, there’s no need to learn foreign languages.
7. What’s the purpose of the passage
A. To criticize people’s ignorance of foreign languages.
B. To stress the significance of learning foreign languages.
C. To state the result of dropping learning foreign languages.
D. To raise people’s awareness of protecting native languages.
Passage C
It’s an all too common story: A young child walks off during a party and falls into a backyard pool. No one notices she’s missing——until it’s too late. When Grayson Barron learned of such a disaster in a friend’s neighborhood, the 18-year-old immediately jumped into problem-solving mode. The new pool alarm system he’s just developed sends out several types of warnings when someone or something splashes into an unguarded pool.
Grayson calls his floating system “The Buoy (浮标)”. A large splash will trigger its built-in sensors to send out a series of alerts——a flashing light, an alarm that sounds like a loud doorbell and a text to the owner’s mobile phone.
Grayson’s is not the first pool alarm, but the teen says others all have disadvantages. Some are very costly. Others can become stuck in corners of a pool. He wanted a low-cost option that was reliable (可靠的). Grayson 3-D printed the main part of his device, then attached sensors. He then equipped the device with a light, a speaker and a wireless network that can send texts. A battery, which is hooked up to solar panels, keeps the system charged for months.
While hard to design, the new system “is so easy to use,” says Grayson. “All I do is turn it on and throw it into a pool.” After that, he says, it just “does its thing”.
8. Why was a child falling into a pool mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To remind the importance of safety. B. To prepare for the topic of the text.
C. To praise Grayson Barron. D. To show accidents are everywhere.
9. What can you learn from the last paragraph
A. Grayson’s pool alarm can work by itself after being turned on and thrown into the pool.
B. The system of Grayson’s pool alarm is out of control.
C. Grayson’s pool alarm must be operated by man.
D. Grayson’s pool alarm is easy to design and easy to use.
10. Which of the following is the disadvantage of Grayson’s pool alarm
A. It is very expensive. B. It s easy to get stuck.
C It easy to lose balance. D. It s difficult to design.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Teens’ Tech Will Send Alerts to Reduce Deaths
B. Grayson Barron Saved a Lot of Lives
C. Many People Are Drowned Every Year
D. Grayson Has Invented Much Device
Passage D
Every morning, I eat the same breakfast. Every evening, I eat a different dinner. Strange But I’m not alone. Why do we avoid variety in the morning, yet later in the same day, seek variety in our choice of food
Part of the answer is biological. We are most energetic in the morning, and our arousal level (唤醒水平) declines from that top until we go to sleep. So we may prefer less stimulating (刺激的) foods in the morning to avoid feeling overstimulated.
Part of the answer is cultural. The modern workday means we have the least time for meals in the morning. If we find a breakfast rewarding and efficient eating that same food for breakfast will become a habit we stick to.
However, much of the answer still lies in psychology - not that we believe breakfast is not important but that people follow different goals when eating breakfast and other meals.
What goals are we following in our meals Two goals influence all kinds of decisions about what we eat — hedonic (享乐的) and practical goals. Hedonic goals drive people to eat foods that provide pleasurable experiences and feelings, and practical goals drive people to eat to efficiently achieve other aims such as weight control, health, convenience or efficiency.
Whether the goals come from our culture or biology, they appear to be the psychological driver of our tendency to eat the same breakfast day after day. In that case we can have control over the goals to improve our diet. Why not have a try
12. Which example shows breakfast is eaten for the hedonic goal
A. I order a tiramisu because I love its creamy flavor.
B. I order an egg because it’s a good source of protein.
C. I order dumplings because they make me energized.
D. I order bread and milk because it saves me much time.
13. What is the biological reason for lack of variety in breakfast
A. To increase arousal level. B. To be more energetic.
C. To improve efficiency. D. To avoid overstimulation.
14. What’s the structure of the text
( ①=Para.1 ②=Para.2 ③=Para.3 ④=Para.4 ⑤=Para.5 ⑥=Par.6 )
A. ①-②③④-⑤/⑥ B. ①-②③/④-⑤⑥
C. ①-②③/④⑤-⑥ D. ①-②③/④-⑤/⑥
15. What’s the best title for the text
A. Breakfast Matters A Lot B. What Breakfast Tells Us
C. Goals Of The Same Breakfast D. Behind Repeated Breakfast
