B.Woodwork.C.WebDesign. D.ComputerStudies.【解析】選C。細微環節理解題。依據WebDesign部分中的“StudentscompletingthecoursewillreceivetheDiplomainAdvancedWebDesign”可知,該課程會給完成課程的學生頒發結業證書,另外三門課程均未提到頒發證書,故C項符合題意。23.HowmuchwillastudentwhoattendsonlyhalfofalltheWoodworklessonspayintotal?A.$30. B.$180.C.$250. D.$360.【解析】選B。數字計算題。依據Woodwork部分中的“Time:Mon.5pm—7pm”可知,該課程每周一開一次課;依據該部分中的“$30perlesson”可知,每次課程要花費30美元;依據該部分中的“Length:12weeks”可知,該課程持續12周,即12次課。由此可知,上全部課程須要$30×12=$360,上一半的課程須要180美元,故選B項。BItisrightlysaidonecanshareanysecretwithatruefriend.Hemayknowyourdeepestfearsandweaknessesandyetwillnevertakeadvantageofyou.However,keepingafriend’ssecretstoyourselfandnottellingtheworldiswhatmakesthebondgrowstrongandlastforever.Youneedtodeveloptrustandmutual(相互的)understandingbeforeyoustartsharingsecretswitheachother.Withfriends,secrettalksneverseemtoendanditcangetreallyamusingtoknowwhathasbeengoingoninyourfriend’smind.Thereisacertaintimeinlifeespeciallyfromtheteenageyearswhenonestartshavingapersonalperiphery(界限)inlifeandparentsareexcluded(排斥)fromit.Itisbecausetherearecertainthingsthattheycan’tunderstandandwecan’tdiscusswiththem.Thatiswhenfriendsbecomethebestsecretsharers.Theyaretheonestowhomonerevealsone’sfeelingsandbestkeptsecrets.Itisageneralbeliefthatonlygirlssharesecrets.Butboyshavetheirownsecretsthattheydiscusswithonlyclosestfriends.Thesecrettalkscanrange(改變)fromrelationships,talksaboutfightswithparents,secretactivitiesandanythingthatisnotsupposedtobeknowntoothers!Ifyouthinksecretsarelimitedtoonlyteenagers,getyourfactsright!Secretscanbesharedatanyageandthereisnohardandfastrulethatsecretsaresharedonlyamongyoungsters.Sharingsecretswithafriendisnotjustfun,butitalsohelpstodevelopalastingtrustinoneanother.Sometimes,sharingsecretswilltellyoumoreabouttheperson.Youwillcometoknowwhetheryourfriendisreliableandtrustworthyandwhetheritisworthsharingyoursecretswiththem.Youcancallitatestoffriendship.【文章大意】這是一篇說明文,說明人在成長的過程中總有一些連父母都不能溝通的事情,此時只有和真正的摯友才可以共享,這樣可以解決一些自己不能解決的問題,也可以考驗真正的友情。24.WhatdoesParagraph2mainlytrytoshow?A.Parentsarealwaysthebestpeopletosharesecretswith.B.Teenagersprefertosharesecretswiththeirfriends.C.Parentsshouldbuildtrustwithteenagers.D.Teenagersgrowtobeindependent.【解析】選B。推理推斷題。依據其次段第一句話Thereisacertaintimeinlifeespeciallyfromtheteenageyearswhenonestartshavingapersonalperipheryinlifeandparentsareexcludedfromit.和倒數其次句話Thatiswhenfriendsbecomethebestsecretsharers.可知本段主要試圖表明青少年更喜愛和他們的摯友共享他們的隱私。25.Theunderlinedword“reveals”inParagraph2canbebestreplacedby______.

A.provesB.tellsC.getsD.holds【解析】選B。詞義揣測題。依據上文的Thatiswhenfriendsbecomethebestsecretsharers.可知青少年喜愛將自己的感情和隱私告知自己的摯友。因此可推想畫線單詞的意思是“告知”。26.Whatcanbelearnedaboutsharingsecrets?A.It’slimitedtogirls.B.Itfollowsstrictrules.C.Itcanhappenatanyage.D.Itdoesharmtoastrongbond.【解析】選C。細微環節理解題。依據倒數其次段最終一句Secretscanbesharedatanyageandthereisnohardandfastrulethatsecretsaresharedonlyamongyoungsters.可知共享隱私可以發生在任何年齡。27.Whatisanadvantageofsharingsecretswithafriend?A.Ithelpsalotinyourstudy.B.Itleadsyoutoacarefreelife.C.Itmakesyoupopularwithotherpeople.D.Itcontributestoalong-termmutualbelief.【解析】選D。細微環節理解題。依據文章最終一段第一句Sharingsecretswithafriendisnotjustfun,butitalsohelpstodevelopalastingtrustinoneanother.可知與摯友共享的好處在于它有助于建立長期的信任。CWhenhetellspeoplethatheisdeaf,OliverStabbeiscalledaliar.“Theideathatdeafpeoplecannotspeakisaveryoffensiveassumption,”thesophomore(大二學生)said.Stabbe’sexperiencespeaksofmanyofthemisunderstandingsaboutdeafpeopleandthestrugglestheyface—thingscommonlyfoundrightinRochester.Thiscityishometo90,000deafpeople,asignificantsliceofthemorethan1.1millionnationalpopulation.Thepercentageofdeafpeoplehereishigherthanthenationalaverage,dueinparttoRIT’sNationalTechnicalInstitutefortheDeaf,thefirsttechnologicalcollegeintheworldcreatedspecificallyforthedeafandhardofhearing.“Really,thereseemstobeanembarrassmentincommunicatingwithdeafpeople,”saidsophomoreStephenDavis,anotherdeafstudent.Thisawkwardnessmightarisebecausenon-deafpeoplejustdon’tknowhowtodosowithoutpossiblyoffendingsomeone.“Iguesstheythinksaying’deaf’isoffensive,butitreallyisn’tanddeafpeopledon’tgetupsetaboutit,”Davissaid.Henotedthatthebiggestissuehe’shadwhencommunicatingwithotherstudentsistheiranxietyaboutcommunicating.Deaforhard-of-heatingstudentsalsofacefrustrations(令人心煩的事)ontheirendwheninteractingwithothers.“Sometimespeopletalkaboutyou,maybetoanon-deaffriendstandingbesideme,asifI’mnotthere,”Davissaid.“That’sdepressing.”AsDavisputit“Wedon’tseeourselvesasthedisabled,sotheawkwardnessisonlyone-sided.”Stabbeadvisedthatthosecommunicatingshouldnotmakeassumptionsaboutothers’preferencesorability.Ifyouhaveaquestion,ask.Amomentofawkwardnessisabsolutelyworthitifyouarebeingeducatedaboutanimportanttopic.【文章大意】本文為一篇記敘文。與耳聾者閑聊可能讓人覺得很尷尬,但是對于耳聾者OliverStabbe和StephenDavis來說,“聾”并不是不能提的事。28.WhyaretheremoredeafpeopleinRochester?A.Deafpeoplehavesomeprivilegeshere.B.Deafpeoplemaygetbetterjobopportunitieshere.C.Deafpeoplemeetfewerstruggleshere.D.Aprofessionalschoolforthedeafappealstothem.【解析】選D。細微環節理解題。依據其次段中的“Thepercentageofdeafpeoplehereishigherthanthenationalaverage,dueinparttoRIT’sNationalTechnicalInstitutefortheDeaf,thefirsttechnologicalcollegeintheworldcreatedspecificallyforthedeafandhardofhearing.”可知,這里耳聾者的百分比高于全國平均水平,部分緣由是這里有世界上第一所特地為耳聾和有聽力障礙的人設立的學院,答案為D。29.WhatmayembarrasspeoplewhencommunicatingwiththedeafaccordingtoDavis?A.Theyareafraidofupsettingthedeaf.B.Theyareunwillingtocommunicate.C.Theydon’tknowanysimplegestures.D.Theydon’tchallengeenoughassumptions.【解析】選A。細微環節理解題。依據第三段中的“Thisawkwardnessmightarisebecausenon-deafpeoplejustdon’tknowhowtodosowithoutpossiblyoffendingsomeone.”(這種尷尬可能會出現,因為不聾的人不知道如何與耳聾的人閑聊而又不冒犯對方)可知,與耳聾的人閑聊會出現尷尬是因為不聾的人膽怯 讓耳聾的人不興奮。30.WhatkindofpersonisStephenDavis?A.Sensitiveandtalkative.B.Reasonableandreliable.C.Outspokenandaggressive.D.Confidentandintelligent.【解析】選D。推理推斷題。依據第三段中Davis通過細心視察得出結論可推知,他是一個聰慧的人;依據第四段中的“Wedon’tseeourselvesasthedisabled,sotheawkwardnessisonlyone-sided”可知,他不認為自己是殘疾人,由此推斷他是一個很自信的人?！靖蓴_項分析】依據文中信息無法推斷出他是一個敏感且擅長交談的人,故解除A項;B項(理智且牢靠的),雖然能從文中看出來他是理智的,但看不出來他是牢靠的;C項(直率且好強的),從文中他說的話可看出他是直率的,但看不出他好強,故不選。31.Whatcanbethebesttitleofthetext?A.WecanhearyourheartB.“Deaf”isnotabadwordC.DeafpeoplearenotliarsD.Embarrassmentisone-sided【解析】選B。標題推斷題。依據上下文可知,耳聾者OliverStabbe和StephenDavis認為“聾”不是一件令人難以啟齒的事,與他們閑聊出現尷尬是不聾的人單方面造成的,故B項(“聾”并不是不好的詞)最能概括文章的主旨。DMilenaCanningcanseesteamrisingfromacoffeecupbutnotthecup.Shecanseeherdaughter’sponytailswingfromsidetoside,butshecan’tseeherdaughter.Canningisblind,yetmovingobjectssomehowfindawayintoherperception.Scientistsstudyingherconditionsayitcouldrevealsecretsabouthowhumansprocessvisioningeneral.Canningwas29whenastrokedestroyedherentireoccipitallobe,thebrainregionhousingthevisualsystem.Theeventlefthersightless,butoneday—shesawaflashoflightfromametallicgiftbagnexttoher.Herdoctorstoldheritwasanillusion.Nevertheless,“Ithoughttheremustbesomethinghappeningwithinmybrainallowingmetosee,”shesays.ShewentfromdoctortodoctoruntilshemetGordonDutton,anophthalmologist(眼科醫生)inGlasgow,Scotland.Duttonhadencounteredthismysterybefore—ina1917paperbyneurologist(神經病學家)GeorgeRiddochdescribingbrain-injuredWORLDWarⅠsoldiers.Canningisoneofahandfulofpeoplewhohavebeendiagnosedwiththe“Riddochphenomenon”,theabilitytoperceivemotionwhileblindtoothervisualstimulator.JodyCulham,aneuroscientistatWesternScansofCanning’sheadrevealedanapple-sizedholewherethevisualcortex(視覺皮質)shouldbe.Butthedamageapparentlysparedthebrain’smotion-processingregion,themiddletemporal(MT)visualarea.“AllthecreditforCanning’sperceptionmustgotoanintactMT,”saysBeatricedeGelder,aneuroscientistatMaastrichtUniversityintheNetherlands,whowasnotinvolvedinthestudy.ThenextmysteryishowinformationfromtheeyesgetstotheMTwithouttravelingthroughthevisualcortex.“Ithinkoftheprimaryvisualpathwayasahighway.InMilena’scase,thehighwayisadeadend,butthereareallthesesideroadsthatgototheMT,”Culhamsays.“It’sgottobeoneoftheseindirectroutes,butwearenotyetsurewhichone.”【文章大意】本文為科普文。盲人米萊娜·坎寧可以看到從咖啡杯中升起的蒸汽,但不能看到杯子。探討表明移動物體以某種方式進入她的視覺,這可能揭示了人類如何處理視覺的隱私。32.WhichofthefollowingisMilenaCanningmostlikelytosee?A.Aphotoofsteamrising.B.Herdaughter’sponytail.C.Aballonthedesk.D.Amovingcup.【解析】選D。推理推斷題。依據第一段中的Canningisblind,yetmovingobjectssomehowfindawayintoherperception.可知,MilenaCanning能望見運動中的物體。所以D項正確。干擾項解除:Aphotoofsteamrising“一張蒸汽上升的照片”;Herdaughter’sponytail“她女兒的馬尾辮”;Aballonthedesk“桌子上的一個球”,都屬于靜止的物體,所以解除。33.JodyCulham’sinvestigationshowsthatCanning______.

A.justsufferspoorvisionB.hasasenseofdirectionC.hastheabilitytodetectmotionD.isblindtovisualstimulator【解析】選C。細微環節理解題。依據題干的JodyCulham’sinvestigation可以定位到第三段中的TheteamconfirmedthatCanningwasabletosensemotionanditsdirection。由此可知,Canning能感覺物體運動及其方向。故選C項。誤會分析:本題易誤選B項。第三段中的TheteamconfirmedthatCanningwasabletosensemotionanditsdirection意思是Canning可感知運動物體的行進方向,并不是她有方向感。34.WhatdoscansofCanning’sheadshow?A.TheMTvisualareaisnotdamaged.B.Thevisualcortexhasanapple-sizedhole.C.Canning’s“Riddochphenomenon”canbecured.D.Thebrain’smotion-processingregiongoeswrong.【解析】選A。細微環節理解題。依據題干的scansofCanning’shead可以定位到第四段中的Butthedamageapparentlysparedthebrain’smotion-processingregion。由此可知,大腦的運動處理區域沒有損壞。故選A項。誤會分析:本題易誤選B項。第四段中的ScansofCanning’sheadrevealedanapple-sizedholewherethevisualcortexshouldbe意思是thevisualcortex(視覺皮質)所處的地方有一個蘋果大小的洞,而并非視覺皮質有蘋果大小的洞。35.Fromwhichisthetextprobablytaken?A.Abiologytextbook.B.Ahealthmagazine.C.Aresearchpaper.D.Anofficialreport.【解析】選C。推理推斷題。文中專家對MilenaCanning的現象進行了探討,揭示人類處理視覺的隱私,所以文章最可能來自探討報告。故選C項。其次節(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。Imaginethereisaglassofwateronatableinfrontofyou.Ithaswaterinitbutitisnotfull.Howdoyoudescribetheglass?36Ifyousayitishalffull,youmightbeanoptimist.Ifyousayitishalfempty,youmightbetheopposite—apessimist.Optimismandpessimism(悲觀主義)representyourgeneralattitudetowardcertainsituationsortolifeingeneral.37
