(謝菲爾德是英國第四大城市，擁有一切——俱樂部、酒吧和劇院。這與我的家鄉形成了巨大的對比，我的家鄉直到1997年才有電影院)”可知，作者的家鄉欠發達。故選A。【9題詳析】主旨大意題。根據第三段“However,others’safezonemightbeaparticularplace,ahome,orafamiliarperson,theabsenceofwhichmayleadtohomes?ckness.(然而，其他人的安全區可能是一個特定的地方，一個家，或一個熟悉的人，沒有這些可能會導致思鄉癥)”可知，本段主要介紹了導致思鄉癥的原因。故選B。【10題詳析】詞句猜測題。根據前文“Dignansuggestsgoingtothesamecoffeeshoporgymatacertaintimetobuildapatternoffamiliaritybecause,itisausefultoolforovercominghomesicknessandbuildingthatall-importantsafezone.(Dignan建議在特定的時間去同一家咖啡店或健身房，建立一種熟悉的模式，因為這是克服思鄉癥和建立最重要的安全區的有用工具)”可知，前文講述了在某個地方建立熟悉模式，建立重要的安全區來克服思想癥，因此推斷畫線句句意為：當我們的生活中有如此多的事情是不可預測的時候，我們渴望安全區也就不足為奇了。畫線詞與D項意思相近，故選D。【11題詳析】推理判斷題。根據第二段的“Thesimpleansweristhattheideaofhomedoesn’tnecessarilyrelatetotimespentinaplace—instead,itisaboutaspecialconnectionandafeelingofsafety.(簡單的回答是，家的概念并不一定與在一個地方度過的時間有關，相反，它是一種特殊的聯系和一種安全感。)”以及最后一段“I’mfortunatetohavealovingfamily,supportivefriends,andacomfortablehomeinSheffield,buthowevermuchIlovemylifehere,there’saninnerpartofmethatwillforeverbeinWales.(我很幸運，在謝菲爾德有一個充滿愛的家庭、支持我的朋友和一個舒適的家，但無論我多么熱愛這里的生活，我內心的一部分將永遠留在威爾士。)”可知，從作者的經歷可推斷，家鄉意味著一種歸屬感。故選C。DTheadvantageofprintedtextsoverdigitaloneshasbeenseeninmanypreviousstudies,andeducationpsychologistsevenhaveanameforthephenomenon:the“screeninferiorityeffect”,whichreferstothephenomenonwherestudents,andothers,seemtounderstandmorewhenreadingprintedtexts.However,byandlarge,previousstudieshavecomparedprintreadingtoreadingonacomputerscreen,notthehandhelddevicesmodernstudentsuseformostoftheirreading.LadislaoSalmerón,aresearcherofeducationalpsychologyattheUniversityofValenciainSpain,andhisworkmateswantedtoseeifthescreeninferiorityeffectoccursifyoufocusonhandhelddevices.Sotheysearchedexistingstudiesandanalyzedonlydatasetscomparingprintreadingtoreadingonhandhelddevices.Finally,theylookedatdozensofstudies,poolingresultsfrommorethan100,000students.Aswithpreviousresearch,theyfoundstudentswhoreadprintedtextsconstantlyperformedslightlybetter.Althoughsmall,Salmerónstresses,theeffectobservedcouldbeofgreatsignificance.“Inexplainingthis,wemustconsiderthatchildreninschoolsreadeveryday,hesays.“Sothiseffectcouldbebuiltupovertime.”Somescientistsaretryingtounderstandthereasonsforthescreeninferiorityeffect.Onetheorycalledtheshallowinghypothesis(假說)assumesthatwhenreadingondigitaldevices,peoplearegenerallydoingsoforshortperiodsoftimeandreadingshortpiecesoftext,causingthemtobelessefficient.Anothertheoryholdsthatfeelingeachpageandrememberingwhetheritwasatthebeginningofthebookortheendcanhelpconnectwithyourmemory.Butneithertheoryhasbeenproven.Accordingtothisstudy,Salmerónsays,“First,printedtextsshouldn’tbequit.Second,teachersshouldconsiderthegoalsofthetaskswhendecidingwhichreadingmediumtouse.”Headds,“Tablets(平板電腦)maybewell-suitedforinternetquestioningtasks,butpapershouldbefavouredtopromoteunderstandingoflongtexts.”12.WhatdroveSalmerónandhisworkmatestoconductthenewstudy?A.Effectsofdigitaldevicesoneducation.B.Challengesbroughtbyreadingdevices.C.Impactsofthescreeninferiorityeffect.D.Onepointignoredbypreviousresearch.13.HowdidSalmerónandhisworkmatesmaketheirdiscovery?A.Byconductingexperiments.B.Byreferringtopastresearch.C.Byobservingcarefullyinlife.D.Byinterviewingmanystudents.14.Whatdoesparagraph4mainlytellusaboutthepositiveeffectofprintreading?A.Itscauseremainsunclear.B.Ittendstolastalongtime.C.Ithelpstoimproveone’smemory.D.Itsexistencehasn’tbeenconfirmed.15.WhatcanbeinferredfromSalmerón’swordsinthelastparagraph?A.Thestudyprovidesdirectionsforeducators.B.Thestudyadvisespeopletoreadtabletsmore.C.Thestudyoverstatesthedemandforprintedtexts.D.Thestudyfocusesonhowtounderstandlongtexts.〖答案〗12.D13.B14.A15.A【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。通過新的手持設備閱讀與印刷文本閱讀的對比研究，發現閱讀印刷文本的學生表現依舊稍好，同時探討了“屏幕劣勢效應”產生的可能原因及相關理論，最終給出不應放棄印刷文本以及教師應根據任務目標選擇合適閱讀媒介的建議。【12題詳析】細節理解題。根據第一段中“However,byandlarge,previousstudieshavecomparedprintreadingtoreadingonacomputerscreen,notthehandhelddevicesmodernstudentsuseformostoftheirreading.(然而，總的來說，以前的研究將印刷閱讀與在計算機屏幕上閱讀進行了比較，而不是現代學生用于大部分閱讀的手持設備。)”可知，Salmerón和他的同事們進行這項新研究的動機是因為之前的研究忽略了比較印刷閱讀和手持設備閱讀的效果。故選D項。【13題詳析】細節理解題。根據第二段中的“Sotheysearchedexistingstudiesandanalyzedonlydatasetscomparingprintreadingtoreadingonhandhelddevices.(因此，他們檢索了現有的研究，只分析了比較印刷閱讀和手持設備閱讀的數據集。)”可知，Salmerón和他的同事們通過參考過去的研究來進行他們的發現。故選B項。【14題詳析】主旨大意題。根據第四段“Somescientistsaretryingtounderstandthereasonsforthescreeninferiorityeffect.Onetheorycalledtheshallowinghypothesis(假說)assumesthatwhenreadingondigitaldevices,peoplearegenerallydoingsoforshortperiodsoftimeandreadingshortpiecesoftext,causingthemtobelessefficient.Anothertheoryholdsthatfeelingeachpageandrememberingwhetheritwasatthebeginningofthebookortheendcanhelpconnectwithyourmemory.Butneithertheoryhasbeenproven.(一些科學家正試圖了解屏幕劣勢效應的原因。一種稱為“淺層假設”的理論認為，在數字設備上閱讀時，人們通常會進行短時間閱讀并閱讀短文本，從而導致他們的效率降低。另一種理論認為，感受每一頁并記住它是在書的開頭還是結尾，都有助于與你的記憶建立聯系。但這兩種理論都沒有得到證實。)”可知，第四段主要講述了印刷閱讀的積極效果的原因尚不清楚。故選A項。【15題詳析】推理判斷題。根據最后一段中“Accordingtothisstudy,Salmerónsays,“First,printedtextsshouldn’tbequit.Second,teachersshouldconsiderthegoalsofthetaskswhendecidingwhichreadingmediumtouse.”(根據這項研究，Salmerón說：“首先，不應放棄印刷文本。其次，教師在決定使用哪種閱讀媒介時，應考慮任務的目標。”)”可知，Salmerón的話表明這項研究為教育工作者提供了方向。故選A項。第二節(共5小題;每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分)閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。Haveyoueverstartedanewtaskatwork,onlytobedistracted(干擾)byadingonyourphone?Orperhapsyou’reinthemiddleofareport,andyourmindstartstowandertowhatyou’llhavefordinner.Ifyoufindyourselffamiliarwithanyofthesescenes,don’tworry.____16____Nowlet’sexplorethereasonsbehindthesedistractions.Ourbrainsarenaturallyeasytobedistracted.Theyarewonderfullycomplexmachinesdesignedtoabsorbnewinformationandadapttoourenvironment.____17____Theyalwaysquicklychangeourattentiontothenewstimulus(刺激),causingustolosefocusonourcurrenttask.____18____It’sfortunateforustohaveaccesstotechnologyandtheInternet,whichprovideawealthofresourcesforlearning,connecting,andentertainingourselves.Butthisblessingisdouble-edged.Thetoolsthathelpimproveproductivitycanalsoleadtodistractions.Wehaveashortattentionspan(持續時間).____19____It’ssaidthatourattentionspanhasacap,muchlikethelimitonafueltank(油箱).Andoncewehitthatupperlimit,ourfocusbeginssearchingforotherlimits,likeatravelereagerfornewlandscapes.Inourdailylife,distractionscomeinmanyformsandthesourcesofdistractionscanvarywidely.Thepathtoamorefocusedandproductivelifeisn’tnecessarilyaboutremovingalldistractions.It’sanimpossibletaskinthisageofinformation.____20____A.Weliveinaworldfullofdistractions.B.Wehavepoortimemanagementskills.C.Butthisstrengthcanalsobeaweakness.D.Thisisn’tnecessarilybecauseofalackofinterest.E.Regainingyourfocusmightbeharderthanyouthink.F.You’rejustpartofamuchlargergroupthanyouimagine.G.Instead,learntoacknowledgeandmanagethemeffectively.〖答案〗16.F17.C18.A19.D20.G【語篇解讀】本文是說明文。文章介紹了注意力不集中的理由并給出了措施。【16題詳析】前文“Haveyoueverstartedanewtaskatwork,onlytobedistracted(干擾)byadingonyourphone?Orperhapsyou’reinthemiddleofareport,andyourmindstartstowandertowhatyou’llhavefordinner.Ifyoufindyourselffamiliarwithanyofthesescenes,don’tworry.(你是否曾經在工作中開始了一項新任務，卻被手機鈴聲分散了注意力?或者你正在寫一份報告，你的思緒開始游蕩到晚餐吃什么。如果你發現自己熟悉這些場景中的任何一個，不要擔心。)”說明如果做事情的時候分心了，不要擔心，因此推斷空處應是說明理由，后文“你只是一個比你想象的大得多的群體中的一員。”符合語境，與前文是因果關系。故選F。【17題詳析】前文“Theyarewonderfullycomplexmachinesdesignedtoabsorbnewinformationandadapttoourenvironment.(它們是非常復雜的機器，旨在吸收新信息并適應我們的環境。)”說明大腦是用來吸收新信息的機器，后文“Theyalwaysquicklychangeourattentiontothenewstimulus(刺激),causingustolosefocusonourcurrenttask.(它們總是迅速將我們的注意力轉移到新的刺激上，導致我們失去對當前任務的關注。)”說明大腦的弱點，容易分散注意力，前后文是轉折關系，因此推斷C項“但這種優勢也可能是劣勢。”符合語境，承上啟下，前文是大腦的優勢，下文是劣勢。故選C。【18題詳析】空處為段落標題，根據后文“It’sfortunateforustohaveaccesstotechnologyandtheInternet,whichprovideawealthofresourcesforlearning,connecting,andentertainingourselves.Butthisblessingisdouble-edged.Thetoolsthathelpimproveproductivitycanalsoleadtodistractions.(我們很幸運能夠接觸到科技和互聯網，它們為我們學習、交流和娛樂提供了豐富的資源。但這是一把雙刃劍。有助于提高工作效率的工具也可能導致分心。)”說明科技和互聯網是一把雙刃劍，盡管有助于提高工作效率，但是也導致分心，因此推斷A項“我們生活在一個充滿分心的世界。”為最佳標題，故選A。【19題詳析】根據標題“Wehaveashortattentionspan(持續時間).(我們的注意力持續時間很短。)”可知，本段講述我們的注意力持續時間比較短，因此推斷D項“這并不一定是因為缺乏興趣。”符合語境，說明我們的注意力持續時間短的理由，下文講述了真正可能的理由“It’ssaidthatourattentionspanhasacap,muchlikethelimitonafueltank(油箱).Andoncewehitthatupperlimit,ourfocusbeginssearchingforotherlimits,likeatravelereagerfornewlandscapes.(據說我們的注意力持續時間是有上限的，就像油箱的極限一樣。一旦我們達到了這個上限，我們的注意力就會開始尋找其他的極限，就像一個渴望新風景的旅行者一樣。)”，故選D。【20題詳析】前文“Thepathtoamorefocusedandproductivelifeisn’tnecessarilyaboutremovingalldistractions.It’sanimpossibletaskinthisageofinformation.(通往更專注、更有成效的生活的道路并不一定要消除所有的干擾。在這個信息時代，這是一項不可能完成的任務。)”說明消除所有的干擾是不可能的，因此推斷下文給出解決辦法，因此推斷G項“相反，學會承認并有效地管理它們。”符合語境，與前文是轉折關系。故選G。第二部分語言運用(共三節，滿分60分)第一節(共15小題;每小題1分，滿分15分)閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。“Thankyouforyourparticipation.ButI’msorrytotellyouthatyou____21____theinterview.”Ireceivedtheemailtwoweeksafterinterviewingforaposition.WhenIreadit,IfeltupsetbecauseI’dspenthoursmaking____22____beforetheinterviewandintheend,Ididn’tevenknowwhyIdidn’tgetthrough.“HowcanI____23____myjobsearchapproachifIdidn’tevenknowwhatwaswrong?”Ithought.Thevalueoffeedback(反饋)becameobviousafterIreceivedanother____24____callmonthslater,“____25____,wedecidedtoofferthejobtosomeoneelse.”AgainIfelt____26____.Buttheconversationwasn’tover.“Wouldyouliketohearthe____27____fromus?”heasked.ThentherepresentativeexplainedthatIhadn’tclearly____28____mymotivation(動機)forapplyingfortheposition.Thefeedbackwas____29____tohear,butIquicklyrealizedhewasright.Istartedto_____30_____myself.Sincemytopconsiderationhadbeentofindaposition,Iwasn’tvery_____31_____aboutwhatIappliedfor.Ipursuedanyjobopportunityaslongasitbroadlyfittedmyskills.Fromthenon,Icarefully_____32_____eachjobandonlyconsideredtheonesthatattractedmemost.Soontheapproachstartedto_____33_____—Igotagreatoffer.Yearslater,asaninterviewer,Itreateveryinterviewasanimportant_____34_____:intervieweesinvest(投資)effortandinreturn,Iwillgivethemfeedback.Itisbecausewithoutfeedback,wearelikelytomakethesame_____35_____overandoveragain.21.A.failed
