第1题：

A

Good morning. The program today is about music. The word “music” comes from the Greek word “muse”. The Muses are the goddesses of the arts. Music is only one of the arts. It is like the spoken language,but is uses sounds. Today's program brings together music from different corners of the world. Who invented music？ Who sang the first song？ No one knows exactly the answers to these questions. But we know that music plays an important part in almost everyone's life. Babies and young children love to hear people singing to them. When they are a little older, they like to sing the songs they have heard. When children go to school,their world of music grows. In the middle grades students take music lessons. When they reach high school,they become interested in listening to pop music.

The records we have chosen for you today are form. American country music,Indian music,pop music and so on. Music has meaning for everyone. It can make people happy or it can make them sad. In this program we shall study the language of music. We shall be trying to find out more about how music works. We shall try to find out how music says what people feel.

Now,here comes the music today,I shall explain why they are all good music…

66.The first paragraph is mainly about the _______________

A.styles of music B.history of music

C.taste of music D.knowledge of music

A．Wish them a happy journey.

B．May they have a more comfortable home.

C．They are really going to be missed.

正确答案：C

第5题：

Part A

Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A,B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET I. (40 points)

Text 1

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen? .... When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?" "And Paul—why didn't pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it' s too late.

Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don' t really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You' re a lucky dog." That' s being friendly. But "lucky dog?" There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that the doesn't think you deserve your luck.

"Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for," is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It' s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven' t got a date for Saturday night.

How can you tell the real meaning behind someone' s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice?

His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people to you may save another mistake.

21. This passage is mainly about______.

A) how to interpret what people say

B) what to do when you listen to others talking

C) how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people

D) why we go wrong with people sometimes

正确答案：C
答案：C

[详细解答]本文开篇就指出了我们会经常在交流时出现一些错误，然后举了一些例子做分析，最后直接给出了避免错误的建议。可见，所有的内容都是围绕怎样去避免在与人交流过程中的错误。所以正确答案为C。

第6题：

根据下面资料，回答题
I′ve often wondered how exactly sleep, or lack of it, can have such an awful effect on our bodies and, guess what, how much we sleep switches good genes on and bad genes off.
In the first half of 2013, the Sleep Research Centre at the University of Surrey found a direct link between hours spent sleeping and genes. Every cell in our bodies carries genetic instructions in our DNA that act as a kind of operating handbook. However, each cell only "reads" the part of this handbook it needs at any given moment.
Can sleep affect how a gene reads instructions It′s a question asked by Professor Derk-Jan Dijk at the University of Surrey. He set up an experiment and asked his volunteers to spend a week sleeping around seven and a half hours to eight hours a night and the next sleeping six and a half to seven hours.
Blood samples were taken each week to compare which genes in blood cells were being used during the long and short nights. The results were rather surprising. Several hundred genes changed in the amount they were being used, including some that are linked to heart disease, cancer, and Type 2 diabetes. Genes to do with cell repair and replacement were used much less.
Sleep restriction (six and a half to seven hours a night) changed 380 genes. Of these,220 genes were down regulated (their power was reduced), while 160 were up regulated (their power was increased). Those affected included body-clock genes which are linked to diabetes. One of the most downgraded genes is that which has a role in controlling insulin and is linked to diabetes and insomnia. The most upgraded gene is linked to heart disease.
So changing sleep by tiny amounts can upgrade or downgrade genes that can influence our health and the diseases we suffer from when we sleep too little.
The important message is that getting close to eight hours of sleep a night can make a dramatic difference to our health in just a few days through the way it looks after our genes.

What can we learn about Professor Derk-Jan Dijk′ s experiment 查看材料

A.The experiment was carried out to find the answer to how genes affect sleep.
B.The experiment took a period of more than two weeks to reach a conclusion.
C.His volunteers were divided into two groups with two different sleeping patterns.
D.Blood samples of the volunteers were checked afterwards to decide how many genes changed in sleeping.

答案：B

解析：

推断题。定位于第三段和第四段。根据第三段的第一句话“Can sleep affect how a gene reads instructions ”可知Derk-Jan Dijk教授的实验是为了发现睡眠对人体基因变化的影响．而不是基因影响睡眠，故A项不正确。根据第三段的最后一句话“He set up an experiment and asked his volunteers to spend a week sleeping around seven and a half hours to eight hours a night and the next sleeping six and a half to seven hours．”可知，他并没有将志愿者进行分组，而是要求他们第一周每晚睡七个半到八个小时，第二周将睡眠时间调整为六个半到七个小时，故C项不正确。再结合第四段的前两句话，他将志愿者这两周的血液样本进行比对，观察基因运作情况的不同．实验结果令人大吃一惊。由此可推断出，这个实验进行了两周多才得出结论，故B项正确，D项不正确，采集血液样品是为了比较在不同睡眠时长下所用到的基因的不同，而不是多少基因被改变。

According to the author′,the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that

A.we fail to listen carefully when they talk
B.people tend to be annoyed when we check what they say
C.people usually state one thing but mean another
D.we tend to doubt What.our friends say

答案：C

解析：

【考情点拨】推理判断题。【应试指导】由第二段第二句及第三段首句可知，有时人们所说的话掩饰了其真实含义，而且言不由衷。故选C。

第8题：

Text 2 A century ago,the immigrants from across the Atlantic included settlers and sojourners.Along with the many folks looking to make a permanent home in the United States came those who had no intention to stay,and 7million people arrived while about 2 million departed.About a quarter of all Italian immigrants,for example,eventually returned to Italy for good.They even had an affectionate nickname,“uccelli di passaggio,”birds of passage.Today,we are much more rigid about immigrants.We divide newcomers into two categories:legal or illegal,good or bad.We hail them as Americans in the making,or brand them as aliens to be kicked out.That framework has contributed mightily to our broken immigration system and the long political paralysis over how to fix it.We don't need more categories,but we need to change the way we think about categories.We need to look beyond strict definitions of legal and illegal.To start,we can recognize the new birds of passage,those living and thriving in the gray areas.We might then begin to solve our immigration challenges.Crop pickers,violinists,construction workers,entrepreneurs,engineers,home healthcare aides and physicists are among today's birds of passage.They are energetic participants in a global economy driven by the flow of work,money and ideas.They prefer to come and go as opportunity calls them.They can manage to have a job in one place and a family in another.With or without permission,they straddle laws,jurisdictions and identities with ease.We need them to imagine the United States as a place where they can be productive for a while without committing themselves to staying forever.We need them to feel that home can be both here and there and that they can belong to two nations honorably.Accommodating this new world of people in motion will require new attitudes on both sides of the immigration battle.Looking beyond the culture war logic of right or wrong means opening up the middle ground and understanding that managing immigration today requires multiple paths and multiple outcomes,including some that are not easy to accomplish legally in the existing system.
“Birds of passage”refers to those who____

A.immigrate across the Atlantic
B.leave their home countries for good
C.stay in a foreign temporarily
D.find permanent jobs overseas

答案：C

解析：

含义题【命题思路】词义句意题大体可分为两类：一、超纲词的意思判断；二、熟词生义、短语或句子在语境中的理解。第一类可通过词根词缀法和上下文语境解题；第二类则主要通过上下文语境来判断。上下文语境包括：一、冒号、破折号后的内容、同位语、同位语从句或定语从句的内容；二、语境表达的主要含义。切忌脱离文章语境来解题。【直击答案】根据题干关键词Birds of passage，定位到第一段末句They even had an affectionate nickname,“uccelli di passaggio，”birds of passage.这句话中birds of passage就是对“uccelli di passaggio”的解释说明，而“uccelli di passaggio，”是nickname的同位语，因此birds of passage是对they的解释说明。通过上下文可知，they指代the immigrants（移民）。因此，birds of passage就是移民的别称。故C项为正确答案。【排除干扰】A项为第一段第一句话的断章取义理解，而通过后文判断，they不仅仅包括来自大西洋的移民，还包括其他国家的移民，因此A项错误。第二句指出他们中的相当大一部分并没有永远待在异国，而是会回国，因此B项不对。D项是对第二句断章取义的理解。

解析：

细节题【命题思路】细节题的解答要求考生准确回文定位，并且逐一对应判断出答案。需要注意的是细节题的正确选项很少是原文信息的复现，而是概括性总结或者前后几句话的概括。错误选项则往往是原文信息的过度推理和断章取义的理解或者是无中生有。【直击答案】根据题干定位至第三段。题干的want与原文的prefer to是同义词，因而解题关键在于对最后两句话的理解。They prefer to come and go as opportunity calls them.They can manage to have a job in one place and a family in another.强调的是工作机会。故D项为正确答案。【排除干扰】A项是对原文的片面理解，通过第三段第二句They are energetic participants in a global economy driven by the flow of work,money and ideas判断出吸引移民者的不仅仅是来自金钱的激励（money），还有工作机会和工作理念（work and ideas），A项financial incentives（经济鼓励）仅仅是money，因而错误。B项选和C项在文中未提及也不选。

第20题：

It's almost impossible to go through life without experiencing some kind of failure.People who do so probably live so cautiously that they go nowhere.Put simply,they’re not real living at all.But,the wonderful thing about failure is that it's entirely up to us to decide how to look at it.We can choose to see failure as"the end of the world,"or as proof of just how inadequate we are.Or,we can look at failure as the incredible learning experience that it often is.Every time we fail at something,we can choose to look for the lesson we're meant to learn.These lessons are very important;they're how we grow,and how we keep from making that same mistake again.Failures stop us only if we let them.Failure can also teach us things about ourselves that we would never have learned otherwise.For instance,failure can help you discover how strong a person you are.Failing at something can help you discover your truest friends,or help you find unexpected motivation to succeed.

答案：

解析：

人的一生几乎不可能不经历某种失败。但是，失败的妙处就在于，完全由我们来决定如何看待它。我们可以选择将失败看作是“世界末日”。或者像以往一样，把它看作令人难以置信的学习经历。每当我们在某件事上失败时，我们会选择寻找应学习的教训。这些教训非常重要；他们教会我们如何成长，如何避免再次犯相同的错误。如果失败阻止我们前进，那么唯一的条件就是我们允许它的发生。失败还可以教会我们认识自己，那是我们在别处永远无法学习到的。例如，失败可以帮助你发现自己的能力。失败可以帮助你发现最真实的朋友，或者帮助你找到预料之外的成功动力。
