1. The number of firms selling computers in this region ________ since January 2012.
A. are dropping B. is dropping C. have dropped D. has dropped
【答案】D
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查动词时态与主谓一致。句意：自2012年1月以来，该地区销售电脑的公司数量已经下降。A. are dropping现在进行时，复数形式；B. is dropping现在进行时，单数形式；C. have dropped现在完成时，复数形式；D. has dropped现在完成时，单数形式。根据句中时间状语since January 2012可知，谓语动词应使用现在完成时态，又因短语The number of + n.作主语时视为单数，谓语动词也应用单数形式。综上，谓语动词应使用现在完成时态，单数形式。故选D项。
2. At first he refused to admit he had stolen but when he was shown the videotape, he _______ and admitted everything.
A. broke up B. broke away C. broke down D. broke in
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语词义辨析。句意：一开始他拒绝承认偷了，但是当给他看录像的时候，他崩溃了，承认了一切。A. break up分散；拆散； B. break away脱离、摆脱；C. break down (健康，精神)跨下来；D. break in中断、破门而入。根据“At first he refused to admit he had stolen but when he was shown the videotape,”可知，从拒绝承认，到看到录像后崩溃。故选C。

A. were displaying B. are displaying
C. were being displayed D. are being displayed
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和语态。目前，大约有35000件作品陈列在卢浮宫的300多个展室里，要看完所有的展品恐怕要花一辈子的时间。根据上文“Currently(目前)”可知，应该用现在进行时；display与主语works之间为被动关系，所以用现在进行时的被动。故选D。
5 _________ your strengths and weaknesses will help you achieve your dreams.
A. Known B. Know
C. Knowing D. Being known
【答案】C
【解析】
【分析】考查非谓语动词。
【详解】句意：了解你的长处和弱点会帮助你实现梦想。分析句子可以发现，句中缺少主语，用动名词短语 Knowing your strengths and weaknesses作主语，故选C项。其它三项不符合语境，虽然D项也是动名词，但逻辑主语you与know之间是主谓关系，不可用动名词的一般被动式。
6. The old town of Lijiang stands in the northwest of Yunnan province, ________ with elegant green trees.
A. surrounded B. surrounding
C. having surrounded D. to be surrounded
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：丽江古城位于云南西北部，四周绿树环绕。The old town of Lijiang与surround之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，表示被动，用过去分词作状语，故A项正确。

8. Devotion is a kind of quality, ________you should have if you want to get along well with your friends.
A. that B. it C. one D. what
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查代词。句意：奉献是一种品质，如果你想和你的朋友相处得好，你应该拥有这种品质。根据上下文可知这里指代上文的a kind of quality，用one“泛指”作a kind of quality的同位语，it是同类同物，that特指上文的可数名词单数或不可数名词，what引导从句。故选C。
9. In 1963 the UN set up the World Food Programme, one of ________ purposes is to relieve worldwide starvation.
A. which B. its C. whose D. whom
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：1963年，联合国成立了世界粮食计划署，其目的之一就是缓解世界范围内的饥荒。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是the World Food Programme，在从句中作定语修饰purposes，应该用whose引导从句。故选C项。

A. Both of them were not B. Neither of them was
C. None of them were D. All of them were not
【答案】B

You don’t need to be a whale expert to know that these large animals are most at home in the depths of the world’s many oceans. You may not be surprised then, that there were no survivors when 477 pilot whales became stuck on New Zealand’s remote Chatham Islands in October. It was one of the country’s largest mass stranding (搁浅) incidents.
Whereas in the past local authorities were able to quickly mobilize teams to try and rescue the whales, that ideal result was impossible this time. In a post published by the New Zealand whale protection non-profit organization Project Jonah, the group highlighted the many difficulties involved in any attempt at saving the whales. The remote Chatham Islands have a small population, meaning trained doctors would be unable to get to the scene in time. In addition, there was a risk posed by predators attracted to the beach which threatened both rescue teams and any other surviving whales.
Due to these factors, the whales that managed to survive for a while onshore had their dreams of returning to the ocean cut short. The decision was finally made to euthanize all of the remaining living whales on the beach. The general manager of Project Jonah, Daren Grover, described the outcome as “heartbreaking”, according to the New York Post.
This event took place less than a month after 230 whales were found stranded on the Australian island of Tasmania. Fortunately, about 30 of those animals were able to be saved in time by local authorities, according to NPR.
The cause of these mass stranding events is not clear at the moment, although various theories have been raised. Grover said that there may be an issue with the animals’ echolocation ability-the sense that allows them to navigate through the water.
14. Why couldn’t the local authorities rescue the whales this time
A. The number of stranded whales was too large.
B. The majority of whales were seriously injured.
C. Trained doctors in the area were all already busy.
D. The island was remote and dangerous for rescue teams.
15. What happened to the living whales stuck on Chatham Islands
A. They returned to the ocean. B. They were killed without pain.
C. They were cured by doctors. D. They were saved by the locals.
16. Why does the writer mention the mass stranding in Tasmania
A. To emphasize the environmental responsibility of the government.
B. To demonstrate the urgency of finding the cause of mass stranding.
C. To praise the quick action taken by the local press.
D. To present evidence for euthanizing stranded living whales.
17. What is the passage mainly about
A. The causes and effects of whale standings.
B. The need for whale protection organizations.
C. The mass stranding of whales in New Zealand.
D. The challenges faced in rescuing stranded whales.
【答案】14. D 15. B 16. B 17. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了在新西兰查塔姆群岛数百只鲸鱼搁浅后被安乐死这一事件。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The remote Chatham Islands have a small population, meaning trained doctors would be unable to get to the scene in time. In addition, there was a risk posed by predators attracted to the beach which threatened both rescue teams and any other surviving whales.(偏远的查塔姆群岛人口稀少，这意味着训练有素的医生无法及时到达现场。此外，海滩上的捕食者也会带来危险，这对救援队和其他幸存的鲸鱼都构成了威胁。)”可知，由于鲸鱼搁浅的岛很偏远，且救援队面临潜在的危险，所以当局这一次无法组织实施救援。故选D项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Due to these factors, the whales that managed to survive for a while onshore had their dreams of returning to the ocean cut short. The decision was finally made to euthanize all of the remaining living whales on the beach.(由于这些因素，在岸上生存了一段时间的鲸鱼回到海洋的梦想被打断了。最终决定对海滩上所有幸存的鲸鱼实施安乐死。)”可知，被困在查塔姆群岛的鲸被执行了安乐死，即无痛苦死亡。故选B项。
【16题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“This event took place less than a month after 230 whales were found stranded on the Australian island of Tasmania.(不到一个月前，在澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚岛发现了230头搁浅的鲸鱼。)”和第五段中“The cause of these mass stranding events is not clear at the moment, although various theories have been raised.(尽管人们提出了各种各样的理论，但这些大规模搁浅事件的原因目前尚不清楚。)”可推知，在查塔姆群岛鲸鱼搁浅事件后，作者又提到澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚岛的大规模鲸鱼搁浅事件，是为了引出下文对鲸鱼搁浅原因的讨论，说明找到鲸鱼大规模搁浅原因的紧迫性。故选B项。
【17题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段导语“You may not be surprised then, that there were no survivors when 477 pilot whales became stuck on New Zealand’s remote Chatham Islands in October. It was one of the country’s largest mass stranding (搁浅) incidents.(今年10月，477头领航鲸被困在新西兰偏远的查塔姆群岛，没有幸存者，你可能不会感到惊讶。这是该国最大的大规模搁浅事件之一。)”可知，本文主要报道了在新西兰查塔姆群岛上数百只鲸鱼搁浅的事件，所以“The mass stranding of whales in New Zealand.(大量鲸鱼搁浅在新西兰)”是文章主要内容。故选C项。
C
Colin Chapman, the founder of Lotus Cars, was one of motor racing’s most influential engineers. Between 1962 and 1978 Lotus won seven Formula One constructors championships. He summed up his philosophy as “simplify, then add lightness”. It appears to be an uncommon insight. A paper published in Nature suggests that humans struggle with subtractive (减法的) thinking. When asked to improve something, they tend to suggest adding new things rather than removing what is already there, even when additions lead to sub-par (低于标准的) results.
The research was motivated by everyday observation rather than psychological theory, says Gabrielle Adams, the paper’s first author, who cites folk wisdom such as ‘less is more’ and ‘keep it simple’. Perhaps the need for such reminders was evidence of a blind spot in people’s thinking
Along with colleagues at the University of Virginia, Dr. Adams conducted a series of observational studies. In one, when participants were asked to alter an essay they had written, 16% cut words while 80% added them. Others gave similar results. Of 827 suggestions received by the new boss of an American university for how the institution could be improved, 581 involved adding new things and just 70 suggested removing something.
Having established that addition does indeed seem to be more popular than subtraction, the next step was to work out why. One possibility was that people were considering subtractive options, but deliberately choosing not to pursue them. Another was that they were not even thinking of them in the first place.
Let’s enter a new set of experiments. One experiment asked participants to redesign a lopsided (不平衡的) Lego structure so that it could support a house-brick. Participants could earn a dollar for fixing the problem, but each piece of Lego they added cu that reward by ten cents. Even then, only 41% worked out that simplifying the structure by removing a single block, rather than strengthening it by adding more, which was the way to maximise the payout. Another example, asking people to make a golf course worse rather than better did not change their preference for additions, which suggested that many were simply not thinking of the possibility, at least at first.
What all this amounts to, says Benjamin Converse, another of the study’s authors, is evidence for a new entry in the list of “cognitive biases” that skew (歪曲) how humans think. Instead of thinking a problem through and coming up with an ideal solution, they tend to use cognitive shortcuts that are fast and mostly “good enough”.
Such research has inspired an entire field dedicated to working out when such shortcuts lead people astray. Dr. Adams and her colleagues, meanwhile, are keen to investigate their result in more detail. One question is whether the preference for addition is inborn or learned.
18. The purpose of mentioning the story of Colin Chapman is ________.
A to attract readers’ interest B. to highlight the experience
C. to present background information D. to introduce the topic of the passage
19. What can we learn from the passage
A. People prefer additions to subtractions in most situations.
B. People tend to use shortcuts and come up with ideal solutions.
C. Strengthening the structure is the way to maximize the payout.
D. The philosophy — “less is more” is well-received.
20. What are Dr. Adams and his colleagues likely to study next
A. The benefits of subtractions.
B. The ways of changing how people think.
C. The details of the preference for addition.
D. The influence of cognitive biases on people’s thinking.
21. What does the author propose
A. A way that people automatically think. B. A fact that people routinely forget.
C. A view that shortcuts are good enough. D. A point that addition is better.
【答案】18. D 19. A 20. C 21. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了作者对减法思维的概念进行了解释，并指出很多人都缺少减法思维。并分析了其中的原因，指出勤加练习可以培养减法思维，阐述了“少即是多”的理念。
【18题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段第三句话“He summed up his philosophy as“simplify, then add lightness”.(他把自己的哲学总结为“简化，然后增加轻松”)”可知，Colin的所提出的观点和本文的主题是一致的，所以文章提到Colin就是为了介绍文章的主题。故选D。
【19题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第一句话“Having established that addition does indeed seem to be more popular than subtraction, the next step was to work out why.(在确定了加法似乎确实比减法更受欢迎之后，下一步就是找出原因)”可推知，在解决问题的时候，比起做减法，人们可能更喜欢加法。故选A。
【20题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句话“Such research has inspired an entire field dedicated to working out when such shortcuts lead people astray. Dr. Adams and her colleagues, meanwhile, are keen to investigate their result in more detail. One question is whether the preference for addition is inborn or learned.(这项研究启发了整个领域，致力于找出这种捷径何时会让人误入歧途。与此同时，亚当斯博士和她的同事们渴望更详细地调查他们的结果。一个问题是，对加法的偏好是天生的还是后天习得的)”可推知，他们还要进一步研究人们在寻找捷径时什么时候才误入的歧途，以及对加法的偏好是天生的还是后天习得的这些内容。由此推知，下一步需要为这种偏好的研究添加更多详细的信息。故选C。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句话“When asked to improve something, they tend to suggest adding new things rather than removing what is already there, even when additions lead to sub-par(低于标准的) results.(当被要求改进某些东西时，他们倾向于建议添加新的东西，而不是删除已有的东西，即使添加会导致低于标准的结果)”以及第第二段第一句话“The research was motivated by everyday observation rather than psychological theory, says Gabrielle Adams, the paper’s first author, who cites folk wisdom such as ‘less is more’ and ‘keep it simple’. (该研究的第一作者Gabrielle Adams说，这项研究是由日常观察而非心理理论推动的，他引用了民间智慧，比如“少即是多”和“保持简单”)”可推知，作者在文中推崇“少即是多”的观点，而这个往往是大多数人所忽视的一个事实。由此推知，作者想要告诉我们不要忘记“少即是多”这一观点。故选B。
D
Technology seems to discourage slow, immersive reading. Reading on a screen, particularly a phone screen, tires your eyes and makes it harder for you to keep your place. So online writing tends to be more skimmable and list-like than print.
We shouldn’t overplay this danger. All readers skim. Skimming is the skill we acquire as children as we learn to read more skillfully. Nor is there anything new in these fears about declining attention spans, the length of time we spend concentrating on reading. So far, the anxieties have proved to be false alarms. “Quite a few critics have been worried about attention span lately and see very short stories as signs of cultural decline,” the American author Selvin Brown wrote. “No one ever said that poems were evidence of short attention spans.”
And yet the Internet has certainly changed the way we read. For a start, it means that there is more to read, because more people than ever are writing. And digital writing is meant for rapid release and response. An online article starts forming a comment string underneath as soon as it is published. This mode of writing and reading can be interactive and fun. But often it treats other people’s words as something to be quickly harvested as fodder to say something else. Everyone talks over the top of everyone else, desperate to be heard.
Perhaps we should slow down. Reading is constantly promoted as a social good and source of personal achievement. But this advocacy often emphasizes “enthusiastic”, “passionate” or “eager” reading, none of which adjectives suggest slow, quiet absorption.
To a slow reader, a piece of writing can only be fully understood by immersing oneself in the words and their slow comprehension of a line of thought. The slow reader is like a swimmer who stops counting the number of pool laps he has done and just enjoy s how his body feels and moves in water.
The human need for this kind of deep reading is too tenacious for any new technology to destroy. We often assume that technological change can’t be stopped and happens in one direction, so that older media like “dead-tree” books are kicked out by newer, more virtual forms. In practice, older technologies can coexist with new ones. The Kindle and the iPad have not killed off the printed book any more than the car killed off the bicycle. We still want to enjoy slowly-formed ideas and carefully-chosen words. Even in a fast-moving age, there is time for slow reading.
22. What is the author’s attitude towards Selvin Brown’s opinion
A. Favorable. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Objective.
23. The author would probably agree that ________.
A. advocacy of passionate reading helps promote slow reading
B. digital writing leads to too much speaking and not enough reflection
C. the public should be aware of the impact skimming has on the brain
D. the number of Internet readers is declining due to the advances of technology
24. What does the underlined word “tenacious” in Paragraph 6 probably mean
A. Straight-forward. B. Old-fashioned.
C. Deep-rooted. D. Well-balanced.
25 Which would be the best title for the passage
A. Slow Reading Is Here to Stay
B. Digital Technology Prevents Slow Reading
C. Screen vs. Print: Which Requires Deep Reading
D. Reading Is Not a Race: The Wonder of Deep Reading
【答案】22. A 23. B 24. C 25. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。作者驳斥了科技会妨碍慢阅读这一观点，阐述了对于慢阅读的看法，指出了慢阅读的重要性和好处，并指出科技不能改变人们对深度慢阅读的需求。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。在第二段“Nor is there anything new in these fears about declining attention spans. So far, the anxieties have proved to be false alarms.(对注意力持续时间下降的担忧也不是什么新鲜事。到目前为止，这些焦虑被证明是虚惊一场。)”中，作者表明了对“注意力持续时间下降”这一现象的态度：这种焦虑是没有意义的。接着作者引用了美国作家Selvin Brown的话““Quite a few critics have been worried about attention span lately and see very short stories as signs of cultural decline,” the American author Selvin Brown wrote. “No one ever said that poems were evidence of short attention spans.”(美国作家Selvin Brown写道：“相当多的评论家最近开始担心注意力持续时间，他们认为非常短的故事是文化衰落的标志。但从来没有人说过诗歌是注意力持续时间短的证据。”)”来证明自己的观点。由此可知，作者与作家Selvin Brown的观点一致，所以他对Selvin Brown的观点是持赞成态度。故选A。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“And digital writing is meant for rapid release and response. An online article starts forming a comment string underneath as soon as it is published. This mode of writing and reading can be interactive and fun. But often it treats other people’s words as something to be quickly harvested as fodder to say something else. Everyone talks over the top of everyone else, desperate to be heard.(数字写作意味着快速释放和反应。一篇在线文章一经发表，就开始在下面形成一个评论链。这种写作和阅读的模式可以是互动的和有趣的。但它经常把别人的话当作可以迅速收获的素材，用来说别的东西。每个人都说得比别人多，渴望被别人听到)”可知，数字写作的内容会被人当作素材来说别的东西，每个人都想说得更多，想被人听到。由此推知，作者会赞同“数字写作导致了过多的表达，而缺乏足够的思考”这一观点。故选B。
【24题详解】
词句猜测题。too…to…表示“太……以至于不能……”；根据画线词上文“The human need for this kind of deep reading is too tenacious(人类对这种深度阅读的需求也是如此tenacious……)”和后文“for any new technology to destroy”可推知，人类对这种深度阅读的需求是如此“根深蒂固的”，以至于任何新技术都无法摧毁它。故画线词与deep-rooted同义，意为“根深蒂固的”。故选C。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段中“Technology seems to discourage slow, immersive reading. Reading on a screen, particularly a phone screen, tires your eyes and makes it harder for you to keep your place. So online writing tends to be more skimmable and list-like than print.(科技似乎妨碍了缓慢的沉浸式阅读。在屏幕上阅读，尤其是在手机屏幕上阅读，会让你的眼睛疲劳，让你更难保持自己的位置。因此，网络写作往往比印刷写作更简略、更像清单。)”提出一种担忧：科技影响了慢阅读。结合第二段中“We shouldn’t overplay this danger.(我们不应该夸大这种危险。)”和最后一段“In practice, older technologies can coexist with new ones. The Kindle has not killed off the printed book any more than the car killed off the bicycle. We still want to enjoy slowly-formed ideas and carefully-chosen words. Even in a fast-moving age, there is time for slow reading.(实际上，旧技术可以与新技术共存。Kindle并没有消灭纸质书，就像汽车没有消灭自行车一样。我们仍然想要享受缓慢形成的思想和精心选择的词语。即使在一个快速发展的时代，也有时间进行慢速阅读)”可推知，作者驳斥了这种说明，指出了慢阅读的重要性和好处，并指出科技不能改变人们对这种深度慢阅读的需求。因此A选项“慢阅读会一直持续下去”是文章最佳标题。故选A。

阅读补全。根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余项。
Is fashion important to you ____26____From those who wear trendy ripped jeans and loose-fitting T-shirts to those who wear smart tailored suits and expensive designer outfits, each individual can have their own style.
____27____And what impact can this have on their self-expression
Arguably, one factor that influences what people wear is the need to impress others. People who dress well and keep up with the latest styles seem to be more noticed than those who are not concerned about their appearance. ____28____In this way they assume an identity which makes them feel they impress. Yet, by copying general looks, people actually can’t show their individuality.
At the same time, fashion is perceived by some as a tool for success and one that represents wealth or respectable social position. For instance, people intentionally try to raise their status by wearing famous brands or expensive clothes which are admired by others.____29____They are just the means to promote a specific image of power and control. In this case, fashion does not express personal individuality but could perhaps be said to give a false impression of appearance for a specific purpose.
That being said, following fashion may not have anything to do with copying current trends but with using them as an inspiration to create outfits expressing individuality.____30____Adding glam here and there, rolling up a pair of trousers or even wearing two different shoes can be considered a form of self-expression demonstrating originality.
Having considered all this, to my way of thinking, fashion can be used as a means of communication and a way to communicate your self-image to people around you. As a famous designer once said, “Fashion is instant language.”
A. Is it a trend we must follow
B. But why are people following fashion
C. For most people it is, at least to some extent.
D. For this reason, people wear fashionable clothing.
E. These clothes are not actually giving a personal statement of the wearer.
F. There are always fashion followers, even though fashion is constantly changing.
G. An example of this is reforming fashionable pieces and making small personalized changes.

【解析】
【导语】本文是议论文。文章讨论了有关时尚的话题。作者认为时尚可以作为一种交流的方式，一种向你周围的人传达你的自我形象的方式。
【26题详解】
上文“Is fashion important to you ”(时尚对你重要吗？)提出了一个关于时尚的问题，下文“From those who wear trendy ripped jeans and loose-fitting T-shirts to those who wear smart tailored suits and expensive designer outfits, each individual can have their own style.(从穿时髦的破洞牛仔裤和宽松的T恤，到穿时髦的定制西装和昂贵的设计师套装，每个人都有自己的风格。)”讲述了每个人有每个人的风格和时尚，因此推断空处回答上文并引出下文，故C项“对大多数人来说，至少在某种程度上是这样的。”符合语境，回答上文提出的问题，接下来进一步解释这个回答。故选C。
【27题详解】
下文“And what impact can this have on their self-expression (这对他们的自我表达有什么影响？)”再次提出问题，时尚对表达我们自己有什么影响呢，因此推断空处也是提出有关遵循时尚的问题。因为下文Arguably, one factor that influences what people wear is the need to impress others.（可以说，影响人们穿着的一个因素是需要给别人留下深刻印象。）”factor汉语意思是“原因，因素”，说明上文中的问题需要提问“为什么”，结合选项，B符合语境，下文对两个问题做出了具体的解释。故选B。
【28题详解】
上文“Arguably, one factor that influences what people wear is the need to impress others. People who dress well and keep up with the latest styles seem to be more noticed than those who are not concerned about their appearance.(可以说，影响人们着装的一个因素是为了给别人留下深刻印象。穿着得体并紧跟最新时尚的人似乎比那些不注重外表的人更受关注。)”讲述穿着得体时尚会给人留下更深刻的印象，更受关注，下文“In this way they assume an identity which makes them feel they impress. Yet, by copying general looks, people actually can’t show their individuality.(通过这种方式，他们假设了一种身份，让他们觉得自己给人留下了深刻的印象。然而，通过模仿一般的外表，人们实际上无法展示自己的个性。)”讲述人们用这种方式想要给人留下深刻印象。因此空处应是说明一种方式，且与上文一致，故D项“For this reason, people wear fashionable clothing.(因此，人们穿时髦的衣服。)”符合语境，与上文是因果关系，下文的this way指代的“wear fashionable clothing”。故选D。
【29题详解】
上文“At the same time, fashion is perceived by some as a tool for success and one that represents wealth or respectable social position. For instance, people intentionally try to raise their status by wearing famous brands or expensive clothes which are admired by others.(与此同时，时尚被一些人视为成功的工具，代表着财富或受人尊敬的社会地位。例如，人们故意通过穿名牌或昂贵的衣服来提高自己的地位。)”通过举例说明人们通过穿时尚的，昂贵的名牌来提高自己的地位，E项中的these clothes呼应上文的famous brands or expensive clothes，故E项“这些衣服实际上并不是对穿着者的个人陈述。”符合语境，承接上文，与下文“They are just the means to promote a specific image of power and control. (它们只是宣传权力和控制的特定形象的手段。)”是顺承关系。解释说明上文内容。故选E。
30题详解】
上文“That being said, following fashion may not have anything to do with copying current trends but with using them as an inspiration to create outfits expressing individuality.(话虽如此，追随时尚可能与复制当前的趋势无关，而是将其作为一种灵感来设计表达个性的服装。)”讲述有的人追随时尚与当前的形势无关，只是一种表达个性的灵感设计，G项“这方面的一个例子是改造时尚的服装，做出小的个性化的改变。”符合语境，举例说明有些人只是进行个性化的改变，从而引出下文“Adding glam here and there， rolling up a pair of trousers or even wearing two different shoes can be considered a form of self-expression demonstrating originality.(在这里或那里增加魅力，卷起一条裤子，甚至穿两只不同的鞋子都可以被认为是一种展示创意的自我表达形式。)”举例说明这种个性化的时尚表现。故选G。

You don’t need to be a whale expert to know that these large animals are most at home in the depths of the world’s many oceans. You may not be surprised then, that there were no survivors when 477 pilot whales became stuck on New Zealand’s remote Chatham Islands in October. It was one of the country’s largest mass stranding (搁浅) incidents.
Whereas in the past local authorities were able to quickly mobilize teams to try and rescue the whales, that ideal result was impossible this time. In a post published by the New Zealand whale protection non-profit organization Project Jonah, the group highlighted the many difficulties involved in any attempt at saving the whales. The remote Chatham Islands have a small population, meaning trained doctors would be unable to get to the scene in time. In addition, there was a risk posed by predators attracted to the beach which threatened both rescue teams and any other surviving whales.
Due to these factors, the whales that managed to survive for a while onshore had their dreams of returning to the ocean cut short. The decision was finally made to euthanize all of the remaining living whales on the beach. The general manager of Project Jonah, Daren Grover, described the outcome as “heartbreaking”, according to the New York Post.
This event took place less than a month after 230 whales were found stranded on the Australian island of Tasmania. Fortunately, about 30 of those animals were able to be saved in time by local authorities, according to NPR.
The cause of these mass stranding events is not clear at the moment, although various theories have been raised. Grover said that there may be an issue with the animals’ echolocation ability-the sense that allows them to navigate through the water.
14. Why couldn’t the local authorities rescue the whales this time
A. The number of stranded whales was too large.
B. The majority of whales were seriously injured.
C. Trained doctors in the area were all already busy.
D The island was remote and dangerous for rescue teams.
15. What happened to the living whales stuck on Chatham Islands
A. They returned to the ocean. B. They were killed without pain.
C. They were cured by doctors. D. They were saved by the locals.
16. Why does the writer mention the mass stranding in Tasmania
A. To emphasize the environmental responsibility of the government.
B. To demonstrate the urgency of finding the cause of mass stranding.
C. To praise the quick action taken by the local press.
D. To present evidence for euthanizing stranded living whales.
17. What is the passage mainly about
A The causes and effects of whale standings.
B. The need for whale protection organizations.
C. The mass stranding of whales in New Zealand.
D. The challenges faced in rescuing stranded whales.
C
Colin Chapman, the founder of Lotus Cars, was one of motor racing’s most influential engineers. Between 1962 and 1978 Lotus won seven Formula One constructors championships. He summed up his philosophy as “simplify, then add lightness”. It appears to be an uncommon insight. A paper published in Nature suggests that humans struggle with subtractive (减法的) thinking. When asked to improve something, they tend to suggest adding new things rather than removing what is already there, even when additions lead to sub-par (低于标准的) results.
The research was motivated by everyday observation rather than psychological theory, says Gabrielle Adams, the paper’s first author, who cites folk wisdom such as ‘less is more’ and ‘keep it simple’. Perhaps the need for such reminders was evidence of a blind spot in people’s thinking
Along with colleagues at the University of Virginia, Dr. Adams conducted a series of observational studies. In one, when participants were asked to alter an essay they had written, 16% cut words while 80% added them. Others gave similar results. Of 827 suggestions received by the new boss of an American university for how the institution could be improved, 581 involved adding new things and just 70 suggested removing something.
Having established that addition does indeed seem to be more popular than subtraction, the next step was to work out why. One possibility was that people were considering subtractive options, but deliberately choosing not to pursue them. Another was that they were not even thinking of them in the first place.
Let’s enter a new set of experiments. One experiment asked participants to redesign a lopsided (不平衡的) Lego structure so that it could support a house-brick. Participants could earn a dollar for fixing the problem, but each piece of Lego they added cu that reward by ten cents. Even then, only 41% worked out that simplifying the structure by removing a single block, rather than strengthening it by adding more, which was the way to maximise the payout. Another example, asking people to make a golf course worse rather than better did not change their preference for additions, which suggested that many were simply not thinking of the possibility, at least at first.
What all this amounts to, says Benjamin Converse, another of the study’s authors, is evidence for a new entry in the list of “cognitive biases” that skew (歪曲) how humans think. Instead of thinking a problem through and coming up with an ideal solution, they tend to use cognitive shortcuts that are fast and mostly “good enough”.
Such research has inspired an entire field dedicated to working out when such shortcuts lead people astray. Dr. Adams and her colleagues, meanwhile, are keen to investigate their result in more detail. One question is whether the preference for addition is inborn or learned.
18. The purpose of mentioning the story of Colin Chapman is ________.
A. to attract readers’ interest B. to highlight the experience
C. to present background information D. to introduce the topic of the passage
19. What can we learn from the passage
A. People prefer additions to subtractions in most situations.
B. People tend to use shortcuts and come up with ideal solutions.
C. Strengthening the structure is the way to maximize the payout.
D. The philosophy — “less is more” is well-received.
20. What are Dr. Adams and his colleagues likely to study next
A. The benefits of subtractions.
B. The ways of changing how people think.
C. The details of the preference for addition.
D. The influence of cognitive biases on people’s thinking.
21. What does the author propose
A. A way that people automatically think. B. A fact that people routinely forget.
C. A view that shortcuts are good enough. D. A point that addition is better.
D
Technology seems to discourage slow, immersive reading. Reading on a screen, particularly a phone screen, tires your eyes and makes it harder for you to keep your place. So online writing tends to be more skimmable and list-like than print.
We shouldn’t overplay this danger. All readers skim. Skimming is the skill we acquire as children as we learn to read more skillfully. Nor is there anything new in these fears about declining attention spans, the length of time we spend concentrating on reading. So far, the anxieties have proved to be false alarms. “Quite a few critics have been worried about attention span lately and see very short stories as signs of cultural decline,” the American author Selvin Brown wrote. “No one ever said that poems were evidence of short attention spans.”
And yet the Internet has certainly changed the way we read. For a start, it means that there is more to read, because more people than ever are writing. And digital writing is meant for rapid release and response. An online article starts forming a comment string underneath as soon as it is published. This mode of writing and reading can be interactive and fun. But often it treats other people’s words as something to be quickly harvested as fodder to say something else. Everyone talks over the top of everyone else, desperate to be heard.
Perhaps we should slow down. Reading is constantly promoted as a social good and source of personal achievement. But this advocacy often emphasizes “enthusiastic”, “passionate” or “eager” reading, none of which adjectives suggest slow, quiet absorption.
To a slow reader, a piece of writing can only be fully understood by immersing oneself in the words and their slow comprehension of a line of thought. The slow reader is like a swimmer who stops counting the number of pool laps he has done and just enjoy s how his body feels and moves in water.
The human need for this kind of deep reading is too tenacious for any new technology to destroy. We often assume that technological change can’t be stopped and happens in one direction, so that older media like “dead-tree” books are kicked out by newer, more virtual forms. In practice, older technologies can coexist with new ones. The Kindle and the iPad have not killed off the printed book any more than the car killed off the bicycle. We still want to enjoy slowly-formed ideas and carefully-chosen words. Even in a fast-moving age, there is time for slow reading.
22 What is the author’s attitude towards Selvin Brown’s opinion
A. Favorable. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Objective.
23. The author would probably agree that ________.
A. advocacy of passionate reading helps promote slow reading
B. digital writing leads to too much speaking and not enough reflection
C. the public should be aware of the impact skimming has on the brain
D. the number of Internet readers is declining due to the advances of technology
24. What does the underlined word “tenacious” in Paragraph 6 probably mean
A. Straight-forward. B. Old-fashioned.
C. Deep-rooted. D. Well-balanced.
25. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. Slow Reading Is Here to Stay
B. Digital Technology Prevents Slow Reading
C. Screen vs. Print: Which Requires Deep Reading
D. Reading Is Not a Race: The Wonder of Deep Reading

阅读补全。根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余项。
Is fashion important to you ____26____From those who wear trendy ripped jeans and loose-fitting T-shirts to those who wear smart tailored suits and expensive designer outfits, each individual can have their own style.
____27____And what impact can this have on their self-expression
Arguably, one factor that influences what people wear is the need to impress others. People who dress well and keep up with the latest styles seem to be more noticed than those who are not concerned about their appearance. ____28____In this way they assume an identity which makes them feel they impress. Yet, by copying general looks, people actually can’t show their individuality.
At the same time, fashion is perceived by some as a tool for success and one that represents wealth or respectable social position. For instance, people intentionally try to raise their status by wearing famous brands or expensive clothes which are admired by others.____29____They are just the means to promote a specific image of power and control. In this case, fashion does not express personal individuality but could perhaps be said to give a false impression of appearance for a specific purpose.
That being said, following fashion may not have anything to do with copying current trends but with using them as an inspiration to create outfits expressing individuality.____30____Adding glam here and there, rolling up a pair of trousers or even wearing two different shoes can be considered a form of self-expression demonstrating originality.
Having considered all this, to my way of thinking, fashion can be used as a means of communication and a way to communicate your self-image to people around you. As a famous designer once said, “Fashion is instant language.”
A. Is it a trend we must follow
B. But why are people following fashion
C. For most people it is, at least to some extent.
D. For this reason, people wear fashionable clothing.
E. These clothes are not actually giving a personal statement of the wearer.
F. There are always fashion followers, even though fashion is constantly changing.
G. An example of this is reforming fashionable pieces and making small personalized changes.

I quickly took my dogs inside. Huge and ____35____ clouds were rolling in while thunder ____36____ over the hills. This time, however, I took a different perspective. I knew that the stars were shining and the moon was smiling up ____37____ but I just couldn’t see them. The blink of light, up high, at the far end of the meadow (草坪) might hide behind my house. I smiled. It amazed me how far their light ____38____ in the darkness of the night and how they didn’t seem ____39____ at all by the approaching storm. I felt that the _____40_____ no longer seemed so scary and that my fear had been replaced with relief and joy.
Life does have its share of storms, some caused by _____41_____ and some caused by us. _____42_____, we can’t go through life being scared of them. We are here to shine our light. We are here to share our love. We are bound to ride through the _____43_____,clean up after them, and make this world a better place.
