13.
A. What intense feelings you have in the dreams.
B. Where you go in the dreams.
C. Whoever you meet in the dreams.
D. Whatever you experience in the dreams.
【答案】11. D 12. B 13. A
【解析】
【原文】A team of scientists, who have studied the subject of dreams, have come up with some interesting
conclusions. Firstly, everybody, without exception, has them. Secondly, dreams can be of practical value, acting as
a reminder of things of importance that we need to do in our waking lives. If you dream of the punishment you may
receive for not handing in your homework punctually, for example, this may help you to do it on time. Indeed,
things we are anxious about in our daily lives often feature in our dreams.
But it is hard to make sense of your dreams if you lack the ability to remember them in the first place. One
recommendation is that you should keep a diary and pen by your bed so you can write down your dreams as soon
,
as they occur. You should also concentrate on three aspects. Firstly, record the strongest emotion in your dream,
whether it is fear, anger or whatever. Then write down anything strange or unusual that happened and the names of
the people who made an appearance in your dream. This way, according to the experts, you will have a reliable and
meaningful dream record, which will make for fascinating reading.
Now listen again.
Questions
1. What conclusion have the scientists reached about dreams?
2. In which situation is it necessary to remember your dreams?
3. What are you recommended to write down if you want to record your dreams?

16.
A. They refuse most new technologies. B. They stick to old ways of business.

【答案】14. B 15. A 16. C
【解析】
【原文】Hi, well, as you know, I’ve been doing a project on co-operatives and their history and what they’re
like today. Although farmers and people have always worked together from prehistory onwards, what we know
today as co-operatives really got going during the industrial revolution. They were frequently started by workers in
situations where perhaps their companies were exploiting them or mistreating them in some way and they were
seen as a way of providing 2protection for employees.
The first one to really last and make a go of things was set up in town in the north of England, Rochdale, about
a hundred and seventy years ago. The local workers had gone on strike, but then their employer, who ran the local
shop, the company shop, took revenge by refusing to sell them food. Rather than starve, they started a co-operative
food store whose purpose was to provide basic foodstuffs just so people could survive. The employers in question
then went a step further by refusing to sell gas to the striking employees, so because they had no light, the co-
operative started selling candles as well, even though that hadn’t been part of their original plan.
Well, the movement was born and there are still co-operatives around today, ones which have been around for
more than a hundred years running whole groups of shops in a region or over the whole country or offering banking
and insurance. There are also ones which have been started very recently and are involved in all sorts of new
technologies such as wind farms or designing internet sites and the like.
Now listen again.
Questions
14. Why did workers frequently start co-operatives during the industrial revolution?
15. Why did workers in Rochdale start the first real cooperative about 170 years ago?
16. What can be learned about today’s co-operatives from the passage?
Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.

【答案】17. D 18. A 19. D 20. A
【解析】
【原文】W: I suppose the first question I have to ask you, Alan, is: what is a Best Boy?
M: Well, the title is an American term used to describe the assistant to the man who works with the cameramen and
the electricians on a film to make sure that the film is properly lit.
W: So how do you spend your time?
M: Basically what I do is work between the electrical department and production. I deal with the companies where
the lights come from. And I’m also there on the film set, making sure that everything runs smoothly, that the
lighting is set up when the camera crew arrives to shoot the film, and then I also help with the budget—we have to
do timesheets, things like that. It’s mostly paperwork really.
W: When did you start working in the industry?
M: About fifteen years ago. I’d been an electrician and my first few film jobs were basic electrical ones, then I

moved over to this.
W: It sounds a rather complicated job to me.
M: No, not really. I’ve never had to do anything out of the ordinary. But filming on location does make things more
intense — there’s less control than in the studio and you can have problems with the weather. On my latest film, we
were working in the hills and it would take us ages to get the equipment up there. But I enjoyed it. It was a
challenge.
W: Where do you see yourself in the future? What would promotion be for you?
M: I like it where I am. I like working behind the scenes and seeing how the production works. There are enough
challenges in the present job for me. The more experience you get, the more you worry whether you’ve got things
to the right stage at the right time or not. You can’t just go home and switch off. But getting things right is a big
satisfaction.
Now listen again.
Questions
1. Which of the following is one of Alan’s responsibilities?
2. What was Alan’s job before he worked as a Best Boy?
3. According to Alan, why does filming on location make things more intense?
4. What does Alan say about his future development?
Grammar and Vocabulary
Section A
Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically
correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other
blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
The Antonine Plague (瘟疫)
The year was 166 C.E., and the Roman Empire was in its prime. The triumphant Roman troops, under the
command of Emperor Lucius Verrus, returned to Rome victorious after ____21____ (defeat) their Parthian
enemies. As they marched west toward Rome, they carried with them more than the spoils of plundered Parthian
temples; they also carried an epidemic that ____22____ (ruin) the Roman Empire over the course of the next two
decades.
The Antonine Plague, ____23____ was known later, would reach every corner of the empire and is
____24____ most likely claimed the life of Lucius Verrus himself in 169 — and possibly that of his co-emperor
Marcus Aurelius in 180.

The effect of the epidemic on Rome’s armies was apparently devastating. Closeness to sick fellow soldiers and
less-than-optimal living conditions made it possible for the outbreak to spread rapidly throughout the troops, such
as those ____25____ (base) along the northern frontier at Aquileia. Troops elsewhere in the empire were similarly
stricken. ____26____ (reverse) their shrinking soldiers, they sent the sons of soldiers to troops. Army discharge
certificates from the Balkan region suggest that there was a significant decrease in the number of soldiers who were
allowed to retire from military service during the period of the plague.
The effect on the civilian population was evidently by no means ____27____ (severe). In his letter to Athens
in 174, Marcus Aurelius loosened the requirements for membership to the ruling council of Athens, ____28____
there were now too few surviving upper-class Athenians who met the requirements he had introduced prior to the
outbreak.
It has been estimated that the death rate over the 23-year period of the Antonine Plague was 7—10 percent of
the population. ____29____ the practical consequences of the outbreak, such as the destabilization of the Roman
military and economy, the psychological impact on the populations could by no means be ignored. It is easy to
imagine the sense of fear and helplessness ancient Romans _____30_____ have felt in the face of such a ruthless,
painful, disfiguring and frequently fatal disease.

In recent years we’ve all become more health conscious. However, in doing so we seem to
have____31____health. Health is no longer something everyone is born with. Health is a commodity. It is
something you can have more of. And to____32____for this extra health you have to buy a tracksuit, eat vitamin
pills, have a therapist and learn to do one-handed press-ups.
This all sounds quite harmless — until you realise it implies that people who are not perfectly formed, who are
not young, sporty and sun-tanned, are less____33____people. We all want to be healthy but we should perhaps
come down off the exercise bike and____34____what the word health actually means.
For a start, health is not beauty and fitness. You can have wonderful hair and huge muscles, while your
internal organs are in a terrible state. The outer person is not a direct____35____of the inner person. Second, health
is not a purely physical state. It’s mental as well. There are lots of fit people who are not psychologically sound
and,____36____, a lot of quite seriously disabled people who are bright, happy and perfectly in tune with
themselves. Besides, the____37____for physical and mental health are a matter of opinion, containing a strong
social element. There’s a tribe in the Amazon rainforest which regards you as unwell if you don’t have marks of
fungal (真菌) infection on your skin.
Taking all this into account, health is a terribly difficult word to define. It is nevertheless of
grave____38____to do so, because unless we know what health is we don’t know what to aim for. My own
favourite definition of health is ‘psychological health is the ability to love and to work’. It’s an easy thing to aim for
and at the same time very difficult to arrive at. There are, however, occasional moments in everyone’s life when
you experience,____39____, a great love for those around you and also a great sense of personal fulfilment. These
brief moments are very hard to achieve, but they are_____40_____as a more worthwhile aim in life than trying to
look like a supermodel.

Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension
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.
At the Noori Convenience Store LaShanda Calloway, a 27-year-old man, was lying unconscious on the floor,
badly wounded and in desperate need of help, and yet the five people present in the store walked past him and
carried on with their shopping. The truth of the matter was that this type of occurrence wasn’t____41____, and the
shoppers’ motivations weren’t that difficult to understand.
We all like to think that we can____42____when the situation requires it, our moral codes prompting us to
react in a proper and acceptable way. However, what really happens when we’re ____43____is something quite
different. The vast majority of people do nothing: something is holding them back. The LaShanda Calloway case is
a classic example of this: it’s what social psychologists call ‘the bystander effect’.
Studies have shown that the bystander effect is caused by several different____44____made by people at the
scene of an emergency or other distressing event. Firstly, having other people around is one of the main causes
of____45____. The reason for this is people tend to assume that someone else is either already helping
or____46____to offer aid.
We also____47____situations through ‘social proof’ or the information we gather from others. If other people
are not____48____, perhaps there is no emergency or wrongdoing. We don’t want to make an embarrassing
mistake, so we____49____and do nothing. This results in ‘pluralistic ignorance’(人众无知) where everyone
assumes that others have more knowledge, and people yield to what they perceive as the majority opinion.
____50____of personal risk also plays a part. If someone is attacked or in deep trouble and you intervene,
第 13 页 共 34 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选(在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ,+V:
jiajiao6767 )
there is a risk of you becoming a new target for the aggressor or____51____the friction.
So how do people manage to reverse the trend and intervene? What stimulates them into action? And what
causes other people to bury their heads in the sand?
Studies have shown that active bystanders have generally had a more tolerant and empathetic upbringing,
which stimulates greater____52____for the welfare of others. For these people, turning a blind eye isn’t an option;
they feel compelled to step in and get involved.
That said, the bystander effect tends to____53____every aspect of our lives, from everyday scenarios like
seeing bullying to our attitude to bigger challenges such as global warming. Perhaps the first step is____54____that
we are all bystanders. Being aware of the causes could help us overcome them. Ultimately, it’s in our power to

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose
the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
At 14, Fraser Doherty was busy making jam after his grandparents taught him a family recipe. He started
selling jars of his jam door to door near his parents’ home in Edinburgh. As interest grew, his hobby stated to turn
into a business. He now makes 40,000 jars of jam a month and is well on his way to making his first million.
Doherty, who has been chosen to represent Britain in the Global Students Entrepreneurs Awards in Chicago
next month, said there are several advantages to having started young: “As a young person you have a different
view of the world. You have a naivety and an optimism and are willing to give things a shot. The downside for me
isn’t particularly scary. I don’t have a mortgage or kids to worry about so I didn’t have a huge amount to lose if my
idea had not worked.”
Duncan Cheatle, founder of The Supper Club, a forum for established entrepreneurs in London, agreed that
becoming an entrepreneur at a young age has a lot to recommend it.
“For young people there is no concept of thinking outside the box because there isn’t a box. There is capacity

jiajiao6767 )
in young people to see things in a different way that older people lose. And often not being an expert in something
can be helpful because if you don’t understand why something works in a certain way, you will decide to do it
differently.”
Emma Jones, founder of Enterprise Nation, the home business website, said that young people were much
more confident about using technology as a base for their business than the older generation. “Whole sectors that
didn’t exist ten years ago are coming up now because young entrepreneurs are challenging all previous rules and
saying technology means that we can do things like this. They have an open capacity to think of new ideas and as a
result they are starting very interesting businesses.”
56. According to Doherty, is the competitive edge of young people starting business compared with the
older generation?
A. ignorance of the reality B. naïve pursuit of a hobby
C. readiness to try things out D. parents shouldering the financial burden
57. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 means young people .
A. are reluctant to obey the existing rules
B. are not bound by established ways of doing things
C. have superior ideas to those of the older generation
D. will not fall into traps that old people set up for them
58. Which of the following statements will Emma Jones most likely agree with?
A. Abandoning all previous rules is a must to establish new sectors.
B. As people grow older, they are less able to take a fresh approach.
C. Those lacking confidence are less able to start creative businesses.
D. The use of technology contributes to the creation of new businesses.
59. The purpose of this passage is to .
A. inform readers of success stories of young entrepreneurs
B. introduce opinions on the advantages of being young entrepreneurs
C. convince young people to follow the trend and start their own businesses
D. provide specific guidance on how to become successful young entrepreneurs

Know how much to tip
New rules of gratuities
The pandemic has been particularly hard on people who work for tips. Some haven’t been able to do their
jobs at all, while others don’t interact with customers the same way. In either case, tips dried up, causing a lot of
people to suffer. Meanwhile, many customers felt the need to tip more because of the new risks and hardships
that essential service workers suddenly faced.
Just as many services have changed, so should tipping. Some old standards no longer seem fair, and several
newer ones will apply long after the pandemic is over.
Some new rules of tipping that are likely here to stay:

FOOD AND DRINKS
Restaurant workers
Old rule: Leave a tip only when you dine in.
New rule: Always tip, even for takeout.
Tip: 15 to 20 percent when you dine in, and 10 to 15 percent on takeout or delivery orders.
Personal shoppers
Old rule: N/A (Not applicable). Many of these services, such as grocery pickup, are newer.
New rule: Tip, and do it in the app, since you are unlikely to interact directly with your shopper.
Tip: 10 to 15 percent. If a tip is already included, add a few dollars extra.
HOME DELIVERIES
Package delivery drivers
Old rule: Don’t tip.
New rule: Show appreciation if you get deliveries more than once a week.
Tip: Drinks, snacks, or $5 to $20 if a package is particularly heavy or large. Postal workers cannot accept cash
or gifts worth more than $50 per year. UPS tells drivers to decline tips unless a customer insists. And FedEx
prohibits employees from accepting cash or cash equivalents (such as gift cards).
Flower delivery drivers
Old rule: The person who places the order tips those who deliver flowers (and other specialty items).
New rule: You can’t assume the gift giver already tipped, so if you’re lucky enough to get such a delivery, pass
the goodwill along in the form of a tip.
Tip: $5 to $10.
PERSONAL SERVICES
Ride-share drivers
Old rule: Tip in cash.
New rule: Ask your driver. The Lyft and Uber apps let you add gratuities, but some drivers prefer cash.
Tip: 15 to 20 percent.
60. New rules of tipping are recommended because .
A. the pandemic has driven many businesses to financial ruin

新的小费规则,帮助服务人员应对困难,故选D。

细节理解题。根据Think outside the (cash) box.部分“You can also “tip” with a thank-you note or a
homemade gift when a business (or your budget) doesn’t permit gratuities. Consider writing a review online,
making sure to name names. (当公司或你的预算不允许给小费时,你也可以用感谢信或自制礼物。考虑在线
撰写评论,确保署名。)”可知,可以在线撰写评论以表达感激之情。故C项正确。根据Give more if you
can.部分“It’s common for tips to be divided between all the workers at a store or restaurant, not just those who
interact directly with customers. (通常,小费分配给商店或餐厅的所有员工,而不仅仅是直接与客户互动的
员工。)”可知,小费分配给所有员工,但文章并未说明为什么这样做,故排除A项。根据Treat business
owners differently.部分“A practice of the past, tipping the boss separately is no longer necessary. But if she
serves you, tip her as you would any of her workers. (过去的做法,不再需要单独给老板小费。但是,如果她
为你服务,就像你给她的工人一样给她小费。)”可知,如果老板为你服务,你需要给老板小费,故D项
错误。文章未提及B项内容。故选C。
【62题详解】
细节理解题。根据Restaurant workers部分“Tip: 15 to 20 percent when you dine in, and 10 to 15 percent on
takeout or delivery orders. (小费:堂食时为15%至20%,外卖或外卖订单为10%至15%。)”可知,订外卖
需要给工作人员小费,A项错误。根据Package delivery drivers部分“And FedEx prohibits employees from
accepting cash or cash equivalents (such as gift cards). (联邦快递禁止员工接受现金或现金等价物,如礼品
卡。)”可知,无需给联邦快递员工小费,B项错误。根据Flower delivery drivers部分“You can’t assume
the gift giver already tipped, so if you’re lucky enough to get such a delivery, pass the goodwill along in the form
of a tip. (你不能假设送礼者已经给小费了,所以如果你有幸收到这样的快递,请以小费的形式传递善
意。)”可知,需要给送花人小费,而不是给园丁小费,C项错误。根据Ride-share drivers部分“Tip: 15 to
20 percent. (小费:15%到20%)”可知,需要给司机15%到20%的小费。即$15*15%=$2.25/$15*20%=3$。
D项正确,故选D。
(C)
Reclaim Our Streets from Traffic
In the Dutch city of Tilburg, a pilot project aims to make its road network more pedestrian and cycle-friendly.
A system under development in the project there senses when bikes are approaching a crossing and changes the
lights sooner than it otherwise would, thus giving cyclists priority over motorists. Smart traffic lights can also have
environmental benefits, for example, by giving lorries a clear run through urban areas and reducing the frequency
with which they have to stop and start, they reduce emissions, noise pollution and damage to road surfaces. All of
this seems a far cry from the majority of urban centres.
The application of the technology is virtually limitless and could form a major weapon in the battle to

recapture city streets worldwide from motor vehicles and reduce pollution. To put this into context, in Barcelona,
which is anything but large relative to many modern urban expansions, air pollution is estimated to cause around
3,500 premature deaths per year out of a population of 1.6 million. Additionally, it is responsible for severe effects
on ecosystems and agriculture. Traffic, which is the major contributor to this problem, also causes noise pollution
beyond levels considered healthy. Scaling this distressing picture up for larger metropolitan areas could be bad for
your health!
The World Health Organisation recommends that every city should have a minimum of 9 ㎡ of green space
per resident. While some places come out well relative to this figure (London scores an impressive 27, and
Amsterdam an incredible 87.5), many do not. Tokyo currently has around 3 ㎡ per person, and is far from alone in
providing insufficient ‘lungs’ for its population. Picture the effect on these figures of banning traffic from the
majority of a city’s streets and allowing these roads to be converted into community areas, such as parks and
pedestrian zones. Such a system, known as ‘superblocks’, is rapidly gaining support in many of the world’s urban
centres.
The idea has at its heart the notion that streets belong to people and not cars. Roads are repurposed within an
area known as a superblock, leaving only the streets around the area accessible to vehicles. Taking up less space
than a neighbourhood, but larger than the blocks in many cities, their design ensures that no one would ever be
more than 300 m from a road. This may mean sacrificing the parking spaces assigned to properties within them, but
that’s a small price to pay. By increasing the frequency of bus stops on the surrounding streets and applying smart
traffic management technology as used in Tilburg, it would be possible to make public transport more effective
despite having significantly fewer vehicle-accessible roads. This could be paired with a new system of cycling
lanes in the areas off-limits to traffic.
Given that the majority of the world’s population now lives in an urban environment, imagine the number of
people who would benefit from this idea.
63. What is the writer emphasising in the sentence ‘All of this seems a far cry from the majority of urban centres’ in
paragraph one?
A. the contrast between aims and the current reality.
B. how upsetting living in some cities can be.
C. how advanced technology is in certain regions.
D. the technological changes happening worldwide.
64. What point does the writer make in the second paragraph?
A. Smaller cities have relatively high levels of pollution.

推理判断题。根据第二段中“To put this into context, in Barcelona, which is anything but large relative to many
modern urban expansions, air pollution is estimated to cause around 3,500 premature deaths per year out of a
population of 1.6 million. Additionally, it is responsible for severe effects on ecosystems and agriculture. Traffic,

的观点是污染引起的问题随着城市规模的扩大而增加。故选C。
【65题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The World Health Organisation recommends that every city should have a minimum
of 9 ㎡ of green space per resident. While some places come out well relative to this figure (London scores an
impressive 27, and Amsterdam an incredible 87.5), many do not. Tokyo currently has around 3 ㎡ per person, and
is far from alone in providing insufficient ‘lungs’ for its population. Picture the effect on these figures of banning
traffic from the majority of a city’s streets and allowing these roads to be converted into community areas, such as
parks and pedestrian zones. Such a system, known as ‘superblocks’, is rapidly gaining support in many of the
world’s urban centres.(世界卫生组织建议,每个城市的人均绿地面积至少应达到9㎡。虽然有些地方的得分
相对于这个数字还不错(伦敦得分令人印象深刻的27分,阿姆斯特丹的得分是令人难以置信的87.5分),

城市的大部分街道上通行,并允许将这些道路改造成公园和步行区等社区区域,会对这些数字产生怎样的
影响。这种被称为“超级街区”的系统正在世界上许多城市中心迅速获得支持)”可推知,作者在第三段中
对绿色空间提出了的建议是许多城市当局应该改变他们的绿色空间政策。故选D。
【66题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“A system under development in the project there senses when bikes are
approaching a crossing and changes the lights sooner than it otherwise would, thus giving cyclists priority over
motorists.(该项目正在开发的一个系统可以感知到自行车正在接近十字路口,并比其他情况更快地换灯,从

而使骑自行车的人优先于开车的人)”以及倒数第二段“The idea has at its heart the notion that streets belong
to people and not cars. Roads are repurposed within an area known as a superblock, leaving only the streets around
the area accessible to vehicles. Taking up less space than a neighbourhood, but larger than the blocks in many
cities, their design ensures that no one would ever be more than 300 m from a road. This may mean sacrificing the
parking spaces assigned to properties within them, but that’s a small price to pay. By increasing the frequency of
bus stops on the surrounding streets and applying smart traffic management technology as used in Tilburg, it would
be possible to make public transport more effective despite having significantly fewer vehicle-accessible roads.
This could be paired with a new system of cycling lanes in the areas off-limits to traffic.(这个想法的核心是街道
属于人,而不是汽车。在一个被称为超级街区的区域内,道路被重新规划,只留下该区域周围的街道供车
辆通行。它们所占的空间比一个街区要小,但比许多城市的街区要大,它们的设计确保了没有人会离道路
超过300米。这可能意味着要牺牲分配给这些物业的停车位,但这只是一个很小的代价。通过增加周围街
道公交站点的频率,并像蒂尔堡那样应用智能交通管理技术,尽管车辆可通行的道路明显减少,但仍有可
能使公共交通更有效。这可以与一个新的自行车道系统配套,在禁止交通的地区)”可知,作者认为,除了
居民,公交车司机、骑自行车的人以及行人都将从超级街区的引入中受益。故选B。
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the
box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A big cause of concerns for Australian government is the increasing number of migrants who return to their
countries of origin. Several surveys have been conducted recently into the reasons why people go home. One noted
that “flies, dirt, and outside lavatories” were on the list of complaints from British immigrants, and added that many
people also complained about “the crudity, bad manners, and unfriendliness of the Australians”.____67____
Most British migrants miss council housing the National Health scheme, and their relatives and former
neighbor.____68____The men soon make new friends at work, but wives tend to find it much harder to get used to
a different way of life. Many are housebound because of inadequate public transport in most outlying suburbs, and
regular correspondence with their old friends at home only serves to increase their discontent. One housewife was
quoted recently as saying: “I even find I miss the people I used to hate at home.”
Rent are high, and there are long waiting lists for Housing Commission homes. Sickness can be an expensive
business and the climate can be unexpectedly rough. The gap between Australian and British wage packets is no
longer big, and people are generally expected to work harder here than they do at home. Professional men over
forty often have difficulty in finding a decent job. ____69____
According to the journal Australian Manufacturer, the attitude of many employers and fellow workers is

just how expansive the Aussie is to his immigrants.”
A. Loneliness is a big factor, especially among housewives.
B. A slower rate of growth invariably produces discontent.
C. Another gave climate conditions and homesickness as the main reasons for leaving.
D. One drawback with immigrants to Australia is that integration tends to be more difficult.

【答案】67. C 68. A 69. E 70. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了越来越多的在澳大利亚的英国移民返回英国的原因。
【67题详解】
空格前的句子“One noted that ‘flies, dirt, and outside lavatories’ were on the list of complaints from British
immigrants, and added that many people also complained about ‘the crudity, bad manners, and unfriendliness of the
Australians’.(有人指出,‘苍蝇、灰尘和室外厕所’是英国移民抱怨的内容,并补充说,许多人还抱怨
‘澳大利亚人的粗鲁、不礼貌和不友好’)”是一个人表达的不愿意在澳大利亚生活的原因,所以空格处
的句子也应该是说不愿意在澳大利亚生活的原因,而C项“Another gave climate conditions and
homesickness as the main reasons for leaving.(另一位受访者则认为气候条件和思乡是他们离开的主要原
因)”的内容正好和上一句是顺接关系,C项中的another和上一句的one是对应的。故选C项。
【68题详解】
根据空格前的句子“Most British migrants miss council housing the National Health scheme, and their relatives
and former neighbor.(大多数英国移民想念国家健康计划的廉租房,想念他们的亲戚和以前的邻居)”可
知,此处说的英国移民想返回英国的原因。空格后的句子“The men soon make new friends at work, but
wives tend to find it much harder to get used to a different way of life. Many are housebound because of inadequate
public transport in most outlying suburbs, and regular correspondence with their old friends at home only serves to
increase their discontent. One housewife was quoted recently as saying: ‘I even find I miss the people I used to hate
at home’(男人们很快就在工作中结识了新朋友,但妻子们往往发现很难适应不同的生活方式。许多人因
为偏远郊区的公共交通不完善而不能出门,经常与家乡的老朋友通信只会增加他们的不满。一位家庭主妇
最近说:‘我甚至发现自己开始想念以前在家里讨厌的人了’)”同样表达的是在澳大利亚的英国移民,
第 28 页 共 34 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选(在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ,+V:
jiajiao6767 )
特别是家庭主妇因为孤独而想念在英国的人。所以空格处的句子应该是一个承上启下的句子,应该谈论在
澳大利亚的英国移民想回英国的原因。A项“Loneliness is a big factor, especially among housewives.(孤独
是一个很大的因素,尤其是家庭主妇)”符合题意。故选A项。
【69题详解】
空格前的句子“Professional men over forty often have difficulty in finding a decent job.(年过四十的职业男子
往往很难找到一份体面的工作)”说明中年英国移民面临的职业困境。E项“Above all, perhaps, skilled
immigrants often finds a considerable reluctance to accept their qualifications.(最重要的是,技术移民可能经常
发现,人们相当不愿意接受他们的资格)”谈论了技术移民的苦恼在于人们不愿意接受他们的资格,同样
说明了英国移民的困境,符合题意。故选E项。
【70题详解】
根据空格前的句子“‘We Australians,’ it stated in a recent issue, ‘are just too fond of painting the rosy picture of
the big, warm-hearted Aussie’(‘我们澳大利亚人,’该杂志在最近一期中写道,‘太喜欢把澳大利亚人描
绘成一个高大、热情的澳大利亚人的美好图景了’)”可知,澳大利亚人太喜欢把自己描绘成高大、热心
的形象。而F项的句子“As a matter of fact, we are so busy boasting about ourselves that we have no time to be
warm-hearted and considerate.(事实上,我们都忙于吹嘘自己,没有时间去温暖和体贴)”在内容上和上一
句是顺接关系,F项中的“busy boasting about ourselves(忙着吹嘘自己)”和上一句的“too fond of
painting the rosy picture of the big, warm-hearted Aussie(太喜欢把澳大利亚人描绘成一个高大、热情的澳大
利亚人的美好图景了)”是对应的,所以F项“As a matter of fact, we are so busy boasting about ourselves
that we have no time to be warm-hearted and considerate.(事实上,我们都忙于吹嘘自己,没有时间去温暖和
体贴)”符合题意。故选F项。
Ⅳ. Summary Writing
71. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no
more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Global Cooperation
In the 21st century, we’ve seen a new trend that is pushing the boundaries of human invention and
innovation—global cooperation. Scientific and technical research and development is now so complicated that no
one scientist can know it all. So, increasingly, innovation is coming from the combining of cutting-edge expertise
(专业知识) from different scientific fields.
There are now over 8, 000 scientific journals worldwide and it is impossible to be an expert in all areas.
Therefore, in this highly specialized world, scientists, medics and engineers have to cooperate in order to innovate.
Professor Bob Langer at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has made significant breakthroughs in the
第 29 页 共 34 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选(在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ,+V:

field of biomedical engineering. But he hasn’t done it on his own. He has invited experts from around the world in
different fields to form a global team to design new substances which can go inside the body, deliver medicines and
then dissolve. Also at MIT, when Cesar Harada heard about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, he quit his
dream job there and tried to develop a more efficient way to remove the oil. But rather than focusing on profit, he
decided to ‘open-source’ the design. He shared his own ideas on the web for free and then got experts from all
around the world to contribute ideas and even donations. Thanks to this free, not-for-profit way of sharing ideas
and intellectual property on the internet, a boat capable of cleaning oil quickly came into being. Obviously,
international cooperation based on sharing information freely has produced innovative approaches to solving
problems.
It appears that the days of brilliant individuals working in their garages on their own are over. Global teams
with a united purpose building on everyone’s expertise can collectively do far more than one brilliant individual.
Today’s world calls for global cooperators sharers, and not protectors of ideas.
