第1题：
The author's major conclusion about mistakes in foreign language learning is that
A. mistakes are not important in the process of learning a language
B. learners are often very afraid of making mistakes
C. making mistakes can help the learner discover the roles
D. native speakers often do not tell foreign language learners about their mistakes
正确答案：C55．答案为C 此考题为推理题。根据作者所述，我们知道，如果学外语的首要目的不仅仅是为了交际，那么语言学习者在学语言过程中所犯的错误就不应当成为他们交际过程中首要担心的问题，但并不等于说这些错误是可以忽略的或不重要的，而是说学习者可以在交际过程中，通过观察，体会母语与外语的不同，逐渐减少错误，逐步学会正确使用外语。作者所举的西班牙人如何学会正确运用地道的英语来表达将来时的例子可以证明这一点，所以可以断定C正确。

B.Jack wanted to show his feelings through words after his experience
C.The manager went back to the table and apologized to the couple
D.From this experience, Jack learned more about American culture答案：D解析：根据第二段最后一句“After the couple heard my reason，they understood that the problemwas caused by cultural differences，so they laughed and were no longer angry”可知A选项不对；根据文章最后一句“but now I don’t show my feelings through words”可知B选项不对；根据第二段中的“I tIlen waked back to the
table and apologized to the wife”可知C选项也不对，故正确答案为D。 -
第4题：
A.invite constant conflicts with passionate consumers
B.can be used to produce negative effects in marketing
C.may be responsible for fiercer competition
D.deserve all the negative comments about them答案：B解析：本段主要讲科技革新带来的风险，消费者可以通过推荐商品而成为“无偿”媒介，同时技术革新让他们能够更快、更明显地表达观点，挟持媒介施加压力。劫持媒介(hiacked media)就是无偿媒介的对立面，也就是说，无偿媒介有可能被劫持，转化为劫持媒介，进而给企业施加压力。由此可推断，这是一种负面效果，所以B项为正确答案。A项为反向干扰。C项非第三段内容，原文提到会有负面批评，但未提及是他们应得的，D项为主观臆断。故本题选B。参考译文：同样的重大技术变革，在给营销人员带来越来越多样化的沟通渠道选择的同时，也带来了更高的风险，那就是热情的消费者会以更迅速、更明显、更具破坏性的方式来表达他们的意见。这就是与“无偿”媒介相对的“劫持”媒介：一种资产或商业活动被消费者、其他利益相关者或活动者视为抵押品，对某一品牌或产品发布负面评论。例如，社交网络用户正领悟到，他们可以通过“劫持”媒介来对最初创建该媒介的企业施加压力。 -

Bthe writer has objections to the National Lottery
Cthe writer believes that the lottery money should be used for cancer research
Dthe writer is just expressing her feelings about collecting money for charity
正确答案： B解析：
作者通文都在反对国家彩票，故A项是错误的；B项是正确的；C项过于片面和绝对，用于癌症研究只是彩票业收入的一个应用点；D项“只表达一下自己对为慈善事业筹钱的感受”显然不能概括作者对彩票业与慈善事业关系的看法。故选B。 -

单选题From the passage, it can be seen that the author _____.Abelieves the reform has reduced the government’s burden
Binsists that welfare reform is doing little good for the poor
Cis overenthusiastic about the success of welfare reform
Dconsiders welfare reform to be fundamentally successful
正确答案： B解析：
主旨题。从全文来看，作者对福利政策改革进行两方面的分析，既指出了成就也指出其不足。但总体来看，作者对福利政策改革持赞扬态度。作者两次提到改革的成功，第一次是在文章开头，指出在各州取得了巨大成功；第二次是在文章倒数第三段，对很多穷人来说现在无政府资助，同过去有政府资助一样好，这本身就是一个巨大胜利。这与D项“福利改革取得了基本的成功”相符。 -

正确答案： B解析：
事实细节题。根据题于提示定位至第一段。由本段前两句可知：在医院之外人能够幸免于心脏骤停的几率非常小，可见该病死亡率很高，所以答案是B；文中remote结合上下文的意思应该是“几率非常小，遥远的”A只是其表面意思，因而不正确；由文章后三句可知，幸存的可能性取决于你居住的地点，而C该病的发病由居住地方决定，不合文意；文中最后一句It’s like real estate—location 是用房地产地点的重要性来比喻幸存与所处地方的重要关系，D不符合文意，故排除。 -

第14题：
Questions 7 1~75 refer to the following information.
Family caregivers of seniors should be cognizant of stress as it relates to their loved ones. Knowing the signs and detecting them early can help seniors learn to recognize stress factors and to take steps to alleviate the effects stress can cause. Activities such as yoga, walking and other physical exercises designed for seniors are great tension relievers. Many seniors enjoy the benefits of tai chi classes geared to their physical abilities. The Mayo Clinic supports this gentle form of martial arts as a way to relieve stress and help other health-related conditions.
Some seniors are unable to participate in physical activities, but there are other ways to reduce stress. Eating a healthy, well-balanced diet and getting a good night's sleep can keep stress at bay. Joining a non-physical group activities, such as a bridge club or volunteering, offers socialization and a chance to clear the mind of daily responsibilities. There are also local agencies that can help with tasks that might cause undue stress for seniors. Respite care organizations can help with housework or grocery shopping. Religious organizations often have groups who can assist seniors with yard work or other strenuous tasks around the home.
The fact that stress is a part of life does not mean that overwhelming stress is a burden seniors have to shoulder all alone. With help, seniors can combat stress and its negative effects. Spend time helping seniors determine what burdens they face. Help them plan ways suited to their lifestyles that are not only fun but that can minimize the pressures stress can cause. By doing so, the quality of life seniors experience can increase, further paving the way for them to lead independent lives within the comfort of their own homes.
What does the author say about stress?A. Stress can be avoided.
B. Stress only has negative effects.
C. Stress is the result of daily burden.
D. Stress is a component of life.答案：D解析：态度题。作者对压力的看法在文中最后一段第一句有提到，“The fact that stress is a part of life does not mean that overwhelming stress is a burden seniors have to shoulder all alone.”可知作者认为压力是生活的一部分，但也表明压力并不是只有消极作用，B 项错误，A、C 项过于绝对，所以D 选项为正确答案。 -

Passage Three
Americans are well known for the strange diets they always seem to be following．It seems that Americans like to diet almost as much as they like to eat．New types of diet plans are always coming out．Usually,though,they don't stay popular for long．
There are many diets on the market．It is often difficult to know which ones really work．It's also hard to believe how fast a dieter is supposed to shed pounds．A lot has been written about dieting．And some interesting facts about diets and foods have been discovered．
For example,did you know that the more celery you eat,the more weight you will lose?Celery has“negative”calories．The body burns up more calories digesting a piece of celery than there are in the celery stick itself．
Dieters?shun?potatoes because they think they are fattening．But they aren't．A potato has about the same number of calories as an apple．To gain a single pound,you would have to eat eleven pounds of potatoes!
Some dieters even worry about getting fat from licking postage stamps．But they have nothing to worry about．The glue on an average stamp has only about one-tenth of a calorie．Maybe a diet of post-age stamps would be popular?
One could conclude from this passage that______A.dieting is not a healthy practice
B.everyone diets
C.there is only one good way to lose weight
D.dieting can be confusing答案：D解析：暂无解析 -
第16题：
Informal conversation is an important part of any business relationship. Before you start a discussion, however, make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos (禁忌) in a particular culture. Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history, art, and customs. They expect questions about their family and are sure to show pictures of their children. Yon may feel flee to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends. The French think of conversation as an art form, and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements. For them, arguments can be interesting-and they can cover pretty much or any topic-as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent (智慧的) manner.
In the United States, business people like to discuss a wide range of topics, including opinions about work, family, hobbies, and politics. In Japan, China, and Korea, however, people are much more private. They do not share much about their thoughts, feelings, or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious (和谐的) business relationship they’re trying to build. Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters. It is considered rude, for example, to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children.
As general rule, it’s best not to talk about politics or religion (宗教) with your business friends. This can get you into trouble, even in the United States, where people hold different views. In addition, discussing one’s salary is usually considered unsuitable. Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world, although be careful not to criticize a national sport. Instead, be friendly and praise your host’s team.The author considers politics and religion （）.- A、cheerful topics

单选题Which of the following is NOT true about many people who experience mental health problems?AThey can get over them or learn to live with them.
BThey don’t receive the right kind of help.
CThey are kept away from their families and friends.
DThey receive unfair treatment from the professionals who should care for them.
正确答案： D解析：
录音中讲到“幸运的是，大多数出现精神问题的人可以克服掉或学着与它们共存(get over them or learn to live with them)。不幸的是许多有精神问题的人不能接受到正确的帮助(don’t receive the right kind of help)。事实上，许多有精神问题的人受到他们的家人，朋友和专业人员的回避或歧视，这些人本应该照顾他们的”，由此可见只有D项错误。
【录音原文】
The word “mental” is seen almost exclusively in negative terms — as a term of abuse in the playground, at work and even in the family. But we are all “mental” beings — in the same way as we are all “physical” beings. And mental health is just as important as physical health. If we are to grow and to flourish, we need to accept that we are “mental” beings with emotional and spiritual needs, as well as physical ones.
Good mental health isn’t just the absence of mental health problems. If we have good mental health, we can develop emotionally, creatively, intellectually and spiritually. We can initiate, develop and sustain mutually satisfying personal relationships. We can face problems, resolve them and learn from them. We can also use and enjoy solitude, play and have fun, and laugh both at ourselves and at the world. What is more, we are confident, assertive, aware of others, and empathetic with them.
Mental health problems range from the worries and grief we all experience as part of everyday life, to the most bleak, suicidal depression or complete loss of touch with everyday reality. On average one in four of us will experience a mental health problem in the course of a year. These problems can cause real and lasting damage, both to the individual and to the community. Fortunately the majority of people who experience mental health problems can get over them or learn to live with them especially if they get help early on. Unfortunately many people experiencing a mental health problem don’t receive the right kind of help and some don’t receive any help at all. In fact many people with mental health problems are shunned or discriminated against by their families, friends and the professionals who are supposed to be caring for them. -

首段第三句提到电影最早于1896开始公开播放，而该段倒数第三句指出早在1896年，新发明的gramophone（留声机）就被作为音响系统使用，可知留声机和电影几乎同时出现。D项中的moving pictures指的就是电影，因此该项正确。 -

推断题。答案出自第三段: Only a common myth can offer relief from the fear that life is without meaning or purpose. …Such myths help to ward off feelings of isolations, guilt, anxiety, and purposelessness--in short, they combat isolation and the breakdown of social standards and values.
