Sally Dawly is a woman from Auburn, California. Over the last three and a half years, the anti-littering woman has spent most of her free time picking up cigarette butts (烟头) from the streets of her home city.
Called the “Butt Lady” by her local community, Dawly began her mission to rid the streets of her city of cigarette butts in October, 2014. The woman looked for cigarette butts, picked them up and threw them in the trash. To keep a count of how many butts she picks up, the Butt Lady has been using a tablet, and earlier this month, she hit a historic milestone—one million cigarette butts.
“I got tired of going on my walks and seeing cigarette butts everywhere,” Sally Dawly said. “I’m just shocked that I had to pick up so many. I’ve ever picked up 3,000 butts in one day,” she said. “Don’t throw away your butts; better yet, stop smoking.”
With so many cigarette butts littering the streets, can one person’s efforts really make a difference Surprisingly, the answer seems to be yes. Soon after the Butt Lady of Auburn started her mission and word of her efforts spread, cigarette cans started appearing around bars and restaurants in the city. Members of the local community even came out to cheer her on as she approached her one-million-butt milestone.
Sally knows her city’s cigarette butt littering problem won’t be solved anytime soon, but she hopes her work will inspire people to at least think twice before dropping cigarette butts in the streets. She has decided to continue cleaning up after irresponsible smokers, and already has a new milestone in her sights—two million cigarette butts.
Word of the Butt Lady’s efforts to keep the streets cigarette butt-free has reached neighboring communities as well, and CBS Sacramento reports that other cities have started seeking her help as well.
4. Why does Sally Dawly carry an iPad with her while picking up the butts
A. To entertain the crowds.
B To monitor the smokers.
C. To attract people’s attention.
D. To record the number of butts.
5. How did Sally Dawly feel when picking up cigarette butts
A. Excited but upset. B. Shocked and sorry
C. Frightened but content. D. Astonished and desperate.
6. From the text. what can be inferred about Sally Dawly
A. She picks up nearly 3,000 cigarette butts every day.
B. She will work in other cities in California in the future.
C. She has set a new goal of picking up two million cigarette butts.
D. She picked up one million cigarette butts with members of her community.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. California’s “Butt Lady”.
B. Fighting against smoking.
C. Californians health problems.
D. Smoking problems in California.
C
We've all experienced it. We invite a friend to dinner, only to learn that she is the dreaded "V-word". Vegan is someone who allows a diet that contains no animal meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, or any other food that comes from animals. They differ from vegetarians, who generally still eat dairy and eggs as part of their diets. Vegans also typically abstain from using any other products that come from animals, such as honey and leather jackets.
Back in 2008, vegans only accounted for around 0.5 percent of the U. S. population, or about one million people. As of polls taken in 2014, vegans now make up roughly 2.5 percent of the population. At least in the United States, women seem to be far bigger fans of veganism, making up around 79 percent of vegans.
People on a vegan diet tend to be leaner. In a cross-sectional study of nearly 40,000 adults, meat eaters had the highest mean body mass index, or BMI. Vegetarians were in the middle, and vegans had the lowest. Based on several studies from Finland, some scientists have suggested that vegan diets may be helpful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis(类风湿性关节炎). Vegans also appear to have lower rates of hypertension(高血压) than both meat eaters and vegetarians. Vegans also typically have lower cardio metabolic(心脏代谢) risks for conditions like heart disease or strokes.
While there certainly may be some health advantages in going vegan, there seems to be some common deficiencies in the diet. One of these deficiencies is with the vitamin B-12. The ADA states that there are no natural plant foods that contain any significant amount of the vitamin. Vegans can still get it, but they need to take a vitamin or consume fortified foods like soy milk and certain breakfast cereals. Omega-3 fatty acids(欧米珈-3 脂肪酸) are also very difficult to come by on a vegan diet, but this can be overcome through the consumption of algae(海藻) supplements. With vegans requiring supplementation to meet their nutritional needs, it supports the claim that veganism is unnatural, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's unhealthy.
Many health organizations, including the ADA, state that well-planned vegan diets are healthy and nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. It seems like no matter what your dietary preferences are, a healthy lifestyle can be achieved on or off a vegan diet.
8. Which example illustrates he/she is a vegan
A. His/Her diet is made up of large amounts of plant-based carbohydrates.
B. He/She eats meat on special occasions, usually pork, as well as small amounts of fish on a weekly basis.
C. He/She believes small amounts of animal products are vital to good health, and they insist on eating them every day.
D. He/She fries French fries by animal oil.
9. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage
A. Finland is the leading country in the world to study veganism.
B. Vegetarians had the highest mean BMI.
C. Vegan diets may be helpful in the treatment of cancer.
D. The number of vegan in the U. S. is on the rise.
10. Vitamin B-12 can be got from _______.
A. various vegetables B. soy milk and cereals
C. water D. sunbath
11. What is the writer's attitude towards going vegan
A. Objective. B. Subjective.
C. Critical. D. Disapproval.
D
ChatGPT is a new AI system that sounds so human in conversations that it could host its own radio programs. Reading between its instantly generated, perfectly grammatical lines, people see different visions of the future. Without doubt, ChatGPT is impressive.
Some compare the emergence of ChatGPT to the impact of the iPhone, but that doesn’t do it justice. ChatGPT, as well as the generative AI that will follow and outsmart it, is more disruptive. And yet, that doesn’t necessarily mean the end of the world is upon us. On the contrary, ChatGPT, I would argue, might serve to make us more aware of our irreplaceable human qualities.
Take the creative act, writing in particular, as an example. If you want it to, the AI-powered chatbot always produces something because it has the whole world of online data to draw from. But unlike us, it lacks the consciousness. Thinking is hard, critical thinking even harder, and ChatGPT isn’t good at either. It just restates what has already been said; it is one big recycling machine.
There is another obvious limitation of ChatGPT. Philosopher Harry Frankfurt once claimed: the difference between a bullshitter (胡说八道的人) and a liar is that the liar knows what the truth is but decides to take the opposite direction; a bullshitter, however, has no regard for the truth at all. The AI scholar Gary Marcus applies this distinction to ChatGPT. He believes that we have reached a critical point when “the price of bullshit reaches zero and people who want to spread misinformation, either politically or just to make a profit, start doing that plentifully”. Unfortunately, ChatGPT will reproduce misinformation from any of its input sources — it is not an intelligent system that tries to balance or weight different perspectives. In this sense, everything that ChatGPT writes is bullshit.
This is why the so-called AIQ is critical. It is actually an extension and a measurement of our human IQ: our overall knowledge of AI tools, our mastery of clues, and our ethical awareness. ChatGPT is going to change everything and nothing. Creativity, imagination and ethics — these will all remain unique human domains. It is the AI’s very limitations that will make us appreciate our own.
12. What can we learn about ChatGPT
A. It helps generate an artificial voice.
B. It provides instructions on writing skills.
C. It generates natural language responses.
D. It offers a service for language learning.
13. What does the underlined word “disruptive” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Evil.
B. Reliable.
C. Profitable.
D. Revolutionary.
14. Why does the author consider ChatGPT as a bullshit generator
A. It makes up lies constantly.
B. It can’t tell right from wrong.
C. It often makes unfair judgement.
D. It always takes a neutral standpoint.
15 Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. ChatGPT Makes Us Human
B. ChatGPT Is Causing Panic Now
C. ChatGPT: Treat It Like a Toy, Not a Tool
D. ChatGPT:Why It Is Bound to Generate Bullshit

What is mental health
Mental health is an expression we use every day, so it might surprise you that the term ‘mental health’ is frequently misunderstood. ___16___
According to the WHO, however, mental health is “a state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can deal with the normal stresses of life, can work fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community.”
___17___
To make things a bit clearer, some experts have tried coming up with different terms to explain the difference between ‘mental health’ and ‘mental health conditions’, such as ‘good mental health’, ‘mental well-being’, and even ‘happiness’. ___18___
As a result, some of them have tried to explain the difference by talking about a continuous whole where mental health is at one end of the range while mental health conditions are at the other.
Research shows that high levels of mental health are associated with increased learning, creativity and productivity. _____19_____ In contrast, mental health conditions can cause distress and bad effect on relationships. They are also related to poor physical health and death from suicide.
___20___ The fact that someone is not experiencing a mental health condition doesn’t necessarily mean his mental health is good. Likewise, it’s possible to be diagnosed with a mental health condition while feeling well in many aspects of life.
Briefly, mental health is about being emotionally and socially healthy – the way we think, feel and develop relationships - and not merely the absence of a mental health condition.
A. So instead of being about ‘what’s the problem ’, it’s really about ‘what’s going well '.
B. It is often mistakenly used as a substitute (替代) for mental health conditions.
C. This, however, will help prevent mental health conditions.
D. But others argue that using more words to describe the same thing just adds to the confusion.
E. They can also improve social relationships and physical health.
F. Many people are affected by depressions, anxiety and suicide.
G. But it’s important to remember that mental health is complex.

My very first night hike was during summer camp on a warm August night in the woods. Our leader ____27____ bright flashlights so we would not scare away the night creatures we hoped to find.
“See with your ____28____,” the leader told us over and over again.
____29____, that advice took effect. With ____30____ and courage it didn’t take long before our feet became ____31____ to the ground’s textures(质地) and irregularities. Toes learned to ____32____ for barriers before trusting full weight on feet. Holes and dips in the ground were detected in ____33____ of possible fall…
But mistakes ____34____ happened. My foot got caught on a trip and I fell. Since the pace was ____35____, there was little damage except to pride. Once ____36____, I paused to feel the firmness of earth beneath me.
On my way home, as dawn ____37____ day, I thought about how similar night hikes were to journeys through life.
The same rules often ____38____ for both: slow down, concentration, “see” with new senses —and don’t be ____39____. Although the path is full of ____40____— hidden barriers, false surface, wet floor — the earth is solid and firm beneath. It is the nature of night ground. It is the nature of life.

Sally Dawly is a woman from Auburn, California. Over the last three and a half years, the anti-littering woman has spent most of her free time picking up cigarette butts (烟头) from the streets of her home city.
Called the “Butt Lady” by her local community, Dawly began her mission to rid the streets of her city of cigarette butts in October, 2014. The woman looked for cigarette butts, picked them up and threw them in the trash. To keep a count of how many butts she picks up, the Butt Lady has been using a tablet, and earlier this month, she hit a historic milestone—one million cigarette butts.
“I got tired of going on my walks and seeing cigarette butts everywhere,” Sally Dawly said. “I’m just shocked that I had to pick up so many. I’ve ever picked up 3,000 butts in one day,” she said. “Don’t throw away your butts; better yet, stop smoking.”
With so many cigarette butts littering the streets, can one person’s efforts really make a difference Surprisingly, the answer seems to be yes. Soon after the Butt Lady of Auburn started her mission and word of her efforts spread, cigarette cans started appearing around bars and restaurants in the city. Members of the local community even came out to cheer her on as she approached her one-million-butt milestone.
Sally knows her city’s cigarette butt littering problem won’t be solved anytime soon, but she hopes her work will inspire people to at least think twice before dropping cigarette butts in the streets. She has decided to continue cleaning up after irresponsible smokers, and already has a new milestone in her sights—two million cigarette butts.
Word of the Butt Lady’s efforts to keep the streets cigarette butt-free has reached neighboring communities as well, and CBS Sacramento reports that other cities have started seeking her help as well.
4. Why does Sally Dawly carry an iPad with her while picking up the butts
A. To entertain the crowds.
B. To monitor the smokers.
C. To attract people’s attention.
D. To record the number of butts.
5. How did Sally Dawly feel when picking up cigarette butts
A. Excited but upset. B. Shocked and sorry
C Frightened but content. D. Astonished and desperate.
6. From the text. what can be inferred about Sally Dawly
A. She picks up nearly 3,000 cigarette butts every day.
B. She will work in other cities in California in the future.
C. She has set a new goal of picking up two million cigarette butts.
D. She picked up one million cigarette butts with members of her community.
7. What is the text mainly about

We've all experienced it. We invite a friend to dinner, only to learn that she is the dreaded "V-word". Vegan is someone who allows a diet that contains no animal meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, or any other food that comes from animals. They differ from vegetarians, who generally still eat dairy and eggs as part of their diets. Vegans also typically abstain from using any other products that come from animals, such as honey and leather jackets.
Back in 2008, vegans only accounted for around 0.5 percent of the U. S. population, or about one million people. As of polls taken in 2014, vegans now make up roughly 2.5 percent of the population. At least in the United States, women seem to be far bigger fans of veganism, making up around 79 percent of vegans.
People on a vegan diet tend to be leaner. In a cross-sectional study of nearly 40,000 adults, meat eaters had the highest mean body mass index, or BMI. Vegetarians were in the middle, and vegans had the lowest. Based on several studies from Finland, some scientists have suggested that vegan diets may be helpful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis(类风湿性关节炎). Vegans also appear to have lower rates of hypertension(高血压) than both meat eaters and vegetarians. Vegans also typically have lower cardio metabolic(心脏代谢) risks for conditions like heart disease or strokes.
While there certainly may be some health advantages in going vegan, there seems to be some common deficiencies in the diet. One of these deficiencies is with the vitamin B-12. The ADA states that there are no natural plant foods that contain any significant amount of the vitamin. Vegans can still get it, but they need to take a vitamin or consume fortified foods like soy milk and certain breakfast cereals. Omega-3 fatty acids(欧米珈-3 脂肪酸) are also very difficult to come by on a vegan diet, but this can be overcome through the consumption of algae(海藻) supplements. With vegans requiring supplementation to meet their nutritional needs, it supports the claim that veganism is unnatural, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's unhealthy.
Many health organizations, including the ADA, state that well-planned vegan diets are healthy and nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. It seems like no matter what your dietary preferences are, a healthy lifestyle can be achieved on or off a vegan diet.
8. Which example illustrates he/she is a vegan
A. His/Her diet is made up of large amounts of plant-based carbohydrates.
B. He/She eats meat on special occasions, usually pork, as well as small amounts of fish on a weekly basis.
C. He/She believes small amounts of animal products are vital to good health, and they insist on eating them every day.
D. He/She fries French fries by animal oil.
9. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage
A. Finland is the leading country in the world to study veganism.
B. Vegetarians had the highest mean BMI.
C. Vegan diets may be helpful in the treatment of cancer.
D. The number of vegan in the U. S. is on the rise.
10. Vitamin B-12 can be got from _______.
A. various vegetables B. soy milk and cereals
C. water D. sunbath
11. What is the writer's attitude towards going vegan
A. Objective. B. Subjective.
C. Critical. D. Disapproval.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了纯素食主义者人数在美国正在上升,指出吃纯素的人往往更瘦,素食饮食可能有助于类风湿性关节炎的治疗,以及纯素食主义者患心脏病或中风等疾病的风险通常也较低。同时也说明了纯素食主义者的饮食中也存在一些普遍的缺陷。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中Vegan is someone who allows a diet that contains no animal meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, or any other food that comes from animals.可知纯素食主义者是指不吃任何动物的肉、鱼、蛋、奶制品或任何其他来自动物的食物的人。由此可推知,A选项“他/她的饮食中含有大量的植物性碳水化合物”能说明他/她是纯素食主义者。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中Back in 2008, vegans only accounted for around 0.5 percent of the U. S. population, or about one million people. As of polls taken in 2014, vegans now make up roughly 2.5 percent of the population.可知在2008年,纯素食者只占美国人口的0.5%,也就是大约100万人。2014年的民意调查显示,纯素食者现在约占总人口的2.5%。由此可知,D选项“美国纯素食者的人数正在上升”正确,故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中Vegans can still get it, but they need to take a vitamin or consume fortified foods like soy milk and certain breakfast cereals.可知纯素食者仍然可以得到它,但他们需要服用维生素或食用强化食品,如豆奶和某些早餐谷物。由此可知,维生素B-12可以从豆奶和谷物中获得。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章内容可知第三段Based on several studies from Finland, some scientists have suggested that vegan diets may be helpful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis(类风湿性关节炎). Vegans also appear to have lower rates of hypertension(高血压) than both meat eaters and vegetarians. 说明了吃纯素的人往往更瘦,素食饮食可能有助于类风湿性关节炎的治疗,以及纯素食主义者患心脏病或中风等疾病的风险通常也较低,但是第四段While there certainly may be some health advantages in going vegan, there seems to be some common deficiencies in the die指出纯素食主义者的饮食中也存在一些普遍的缺陷。由此可推知,作者对成为素食主义者态度是客观的。故选A。

ChatGPT is a new AI system that sounds so human in conversations that it could host its own radio programs. Reading between its instantly generated, perfectly grammatical lines, people see different visions of the future. Without doubt, ChatGPT is impressive.
Some compare the emergence of ChatGPT to the impact of the iPhone but that doesn’t do it justice. ChatGPT, as well as the generative AI that will follow and outsmart it, is more disruptive. And yet, that doesn’t necessarily mean the end of the world is upon us. On the contrary, ChatGPT, I would argue, might serve to make us more aware of our irreplaceable human qualities.
Take the creative act, writing in particular, as an example. If you want it to, the AI-powered chatbot always produces something because it has the whole world of online data to draw from. But unlike us, it lacks the consciousness. Thinking is hard, critical thinking even harder, and ChatGPT isn’t good at either. It just restates what has already been said; it is one big recycling machine.
There is another obvious limitation of ChatGPT. Philosopher Harry Frankfurt once claimed: the difference between a bullshitter (胡说八道的人) and a liar is that the liar knows what the truth is but decides to take the opposite direction; a bullshitter, however, has no regard for the truth at all. The AI scholar Gary Marcus applies this distinction to ChatGPT. He believes that we have reached a critical point when “the price of bullshit reaches zero and people who want to spread misinformation, either politically or just to make a profit, start doing that plentifully”. Unfortunately, ChatGPT will reproduce misinformation from any of its input sources — it is not an intelligent system that tries to balance or weight different perspectives. In this sense, everything that ChatGPT writes is bullshit.
This is why the so-called AIQ is critical. It is actually an extension and a measurement of our human IQ: our overall knowledge of AI tools, our mastery of clues, and our ethical awareness. ChatGPT is going to change everything and nothing. Creativity, imagination and ethics — these will all remain unique human domains. It is the AI’s very limitations that will make us appreciate our own.
12. What can we learn about ChatGPT
A. It helps generate an artificial voice.
B. It provides instructions on writing skills.
C. It generates natural language responses.
D. It offers a service for language learning.
13. What does the underlined word “disruptive” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Evil.
B. Reliable.
C. Profitable.
D. Revolutionary.
14. Why does the author consider ChatGPT as a bullshit generator
A. It makes up lies constantly.
B. It can’t tell right from wrong.
C. It often makes unfair judgement.
D. It always takes a neutral standpoint.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. ChatGPT Makes Us Human
B. ChatGPT Is Causing Panic Now
C. ChatGPT: Treat It Like a Toy, Not a Tool
D. ChatGPT:Why It Is Bound to Generate Bullshit
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章论证了人类的创造力、想象力和道德是ChatGPT无法匹敌的,正在这些独有的人类品质将我们与人工智能区分开来,让人类更加欣赏自己。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“ChatGPT is a new AI system that sounds so human in conversations that it could host its own radio programs.(hatGPT是一种新的人工智能系统,它在对话中听起来非常像人类,它甚至可以主持自己的广播节目)”可知,ChatGPT可以与人聊天,进行非常自然的语言应答。故选C项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Some compare the emergence of ChatGPT to the impact of the iPhone, but that doesn’t do it justice.(有些人将ChatGPT的出现与iPhone的影响相提并论,但这并不公平)”可知,对于有人将ChatGPT与iPhone相提并论,作者并不赞同。结合划线词前“more”可推知,作者认为ChatGPT比iPhone更具有创新性和颠覆性,所以划线词与revolutionary意思相近,意为“革命性的,颠覆性的”。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Unfortunately, ChatGPT will reproduce misinformation from any of its input sources — it is not an intelligent system that tries to balance or weight different perspectives. In this sense, everything that ChatGPT writes is bullshit.(不幸的是,ChatGPT会从任何输入源中复制错误信息——它不是一个试图平衡或权衡不同观点的智能系统。从这个意义上说,ChatGPT所写的一切都是胡扯)”可知,ChatGPT只是复制信息,不能辨别信息的真伪,所以作者认为它是一个胡扯生成器。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合第二段中“And yet, that doesn’t necessarily mean the end of the world is upon us. On the contrary, ChatGPT, I would argue, might serve to make us more aware of our irreplaceable human qualities.(然而,这并不一定意味着世界末日就要来了。相反,我认为ChatGPT可能会让我们更多地意识到我们不可替代的人类品质)”和最后一段中“ChatGPT is going to change everything and nothing. Creativity, imagination and ethics — these will all remain unique human domains. It is the AI’s very limitations that will make us appreciate our own.(ChatGPT会改变一切,也不会改变什么。创造力、想象力和道德——这些都将是人类独有的领域。正是人工智能的局限性会让人类更加欣赏人类自己)”可知,本文论证了人类的创造力、想象力和道德是ChatGPT无法匹敌的,正在这些独有的人类品质将我们与人工智能区分开来。ChatGPT无法战胜人类,相反,正是ChatGPT之类的人工智能让我们认识到人类的独特,让人类更加欣赏自己。故“ChatGPT Makes Us Human (ChatGPT让人性的光辉更加辉煌)”是最佳标题。故选A项。

What is mental health
Mental health is an expression we use every day, so it might surprise you that the term ‘mental health’ is frequently misunderstood. ___16___
According to the WHO, however, mental health is “a state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can deal with the normal stresses of life, can work fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community.”
___17___
To make things a bit clearer, some experts have tried coming up with different terms to explain the difference between ‘mental health’ and ‘mental health conditions’, such as ‘good mental health’, ‘mental well-being’, and even ‘happiness’. ___18___
As a result, some of them have tried to explain the difference by talking about a continuous whole where mental health is at one end of the range while mental health conditions are at the other.
Research shows that high levels of mental health are associated with increased learning, creativity and productivity. _____19_____ In contrast, mental health conditions can cause distress and bad effect on relationships. They are also related to poor physical health and death from suicide.
___20___ The fact that someone is not experiencing a mental health condition doesn’t necessarily mean his mental health is good. Likewise, it’s possible to be diagnosed with a mental health condition while feeling well in many aspects of life.
Briefly, mental health is about being emotionally and socially healthy – the way we think, feel and develop relationships - and not merely the absence of a mental health condition.
A. So instead of being about ‘what’s the problem ’, it’s really about ‘what’s going well '.
B. It is often mistakenly used as a substitute (替代) for mental health conditions.
C. This, however, will help prevent mental health conditions.
D. But others argue that using more words to describe the same thing just adds to the confusion.
E. They can also improve social relationships and physical health.
F. Many people are affected by depressions, anxiety and suicide.
G. But it’s important to remember that mental health is complex.
【答案】16. B 17. A 18. D 19. E 20. G

【17题详解】
考查上下文及句意理解。根据下文“为了让事情更清楚一些,一些专家尝试用不同的术语来解释‘心理健康’和‘心理健康状况’之间的区别”可知,A项关于一个问题使用不同的提问方式的描述符合此处语境。故A选项正确。
【18题详解】

【点睛】七选五题型主要考查上下文的理解与推断,虽然文章整体难度一般低于阅读理解,但是却给很多同学造成了很大的心理障碍。七个选项中选五个,比四个选项中选一个,感觉干扰性更大,很多同学在做这个题目时,总有一种眼花缭乱、心烦气躁的感觉,致使往往正确率不高。在这里提醒同学们,首先要克服心理障碍,同时要注意方式方法。首先,一定要注意文章开头的段落,文章第一段一般是主题段,会点明一篇文章要讲述的内容,做到心中有数;其次,注意设空前后的句子,因为这些句子之间是顺承和联系的,所有一定要联系和理解上下文的语境。如第3小题,根据上文“一些专家尝试用不同的术语来解释‘心理健康’和‘心理健康状况’之间的区别,例如‘良好的心理健康’、‘心理健康’甚至‘幸福’。”可知,D项“但也有人认为,用更多的词来描述同一件事只会增加困惑。”符合此处语境。原文中的some experts与选项中的others相对应。故D选项正确。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了最近,中国科技巨头阿里巴巴、字节跳动和腾讯发布了一套新的低延迟流媒体标准,为用户在移动平台上提供更好的视频流媒体体验。
【41题详解】
考查时态。句意:最近,中国科技巨头阿里巴巴、字节跳动和腾讯发布了一套新的低延迟流媒体标准,为用户在移动平台上提供更好的视频流媒体体验。空处在句中作谓语,由recently可以,应用现在完成时,主语是复数,故填have released。
【42题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:最近,中国科技巨头阿里巴巴、字节跳动和腾讯发布了一套新的低延迟流媒体标准,为用户在移动平台上提供更好的视频流媒体体验。此处应用名词作宾语,且由a set of可知,“标准”不止一个,应用复数形式,故填standards。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意:近年来,移动用户在体育比赛、在线课程和电子商务等流媒体事件中对低延迟的实时广播需求不断地日益增长。形容词increasing应用副词来修饰,故填continuously。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:然而,不管实际的网络速度如何,这些直播流事件都会经历显著的延迟。前后是转折关系,应用副词however,作状语,单词位于句首,首字母大写,故填However。
【45题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意:当用手机观看现场足球比赛时,用户通常会比电视观众更晚地看到比赛。当状语从句和主句是同一主语时,从句可以省略主语和be动词,此处when引导的状语从句主语和主句主语为同一个主语——users,此处表示正在观看,所以从句应用现在进行时,从句省略了users和are,且users和watch为主动关系,故填watching。
【46题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:基于网页即时通信技术,目前大多数流媒体系统都提供了实时通信。句中有谓语,且前后无连词,空处为非谓语动词作状语,be based on为固定搭配,意为“基于”,所以应用过去分词based作状语,单词位于句首,首字母大写。故填Based。
【47题详解】
考查代词。句意:但是网页即时通信并没有定义信令交互本身的过程,因为每个流平台都使用自己的客户端和服务器之间的交互逻辑移动。此处表示“信令交互本身”应用反身代词itself,故填itself。
【48题详解】
考查名词。句意:但是网页即时通信并没有定义信令交互本身的过程,因为每个流平台都使用自己的客户端和服务器之间的交互逻辑移动。此处应用名词movement(移动)作宾语,且此处表示“移动”为抽象名词,是不可数,故填movement。
【49题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:根据这些公司的说法,新的开放标准将减少这些传统的时间延迟,这些时间延迟可以在任何地方从3-6秒到1秒不到的时间,从而为用户提供更及时的广播。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词these traditional time lags,指物,且定语从句中缺少主语,应用which来引导,故填which。
【50题详解】
考查介词。句意:根据这些公司的说法,新的开放标准将减少这些传统的时间延迟,这些时间延迟可以在任何地方从3-6秒到1秒不到的时间,从而为用户提供更及时的广播。from...to...固定搭配,意为“从……到……”,故填to。
第四部分写作(共两节, 满分35分)
第一节短文改错(共10小题; 每小题1分, 满分10分)
51. 文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。
增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧),并在其下面写出该加的词。
删除:把多余的词用斜线(\)划掉。
修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词。
注意:1.每处错误及修改均仅限一词。
2.只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不计分。
There are basically two ways to get work do. One is working individual and the other is working in team. Some people prefer to working by themselves, because they are sure they can successfully work out the problems with others’ help. Other people likes to work with others. By doing so, theycan exchange idea and learn from each other. Personally speaking, I’d like to work with others for such reasons. Firstly, it can make me get along well with others. Secondly, the solutions of teamwork are usually better rather than that of a single person. Besides, I can improve my abilities, such as what to cooperate and communicate.
【答案】1. do → done
2. individual → individually
3.在 team 前加上 a
4. working → work
5. with → without
6. likes → like
7. idea → ideas
8. 去掉rather
9. that → those
10. what → how
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要说明了基本上有两种方法可以完成工作。一个是单独工作,另一个是团队工作。作者表达了自己对此的看法,认为团队工作更好。
【详解】1.考查非谓语动词。此处为“get sth. done”结构,work与do构成被动故用过去分词做宾语补足语。故do 改为 done。
2.考查副词。修饰动词work应用副词individually,表示“单独地”。故individual 改为 individually。
3.考查冠词。team为可数名词,此处表示泛指应用不定冠词,且team为辅音音素开头的单词。故在 team 前加上 a。
4.考查固定短语。根据短语prefer to do sth.表示“更喜欢做某事”故working 改为 work。
5.考查介词。句意:有些人喜欢自己工作,因为他们相信没有别人的帮助,自己也可以成功地解决问题。结合句意表示“没有”应用介词without。故with 改为 without。
6.考查主谓一致。本句主语为people,时态为一般现在时,故谓语动词应用原形。故likes 改为 like。
7.考查名词的数。idea为可数名词,前面没有冠词故应用复数形式。故idea 改为 ideas。
8.考查比较级。句意:其次,团队合作的解决方案通常比一个人的解决方案要好。结合句意表示“比……更好,好于”短语为better than。故去掉rather。
9.考查代词。此处指代上文solutions应用指示代词those。故that 改为 those。
10.考查疑问词。此处为宾语从句,从句中为“疑问词+不定式”结构,根据句意“另外,我可以提高自己的能力,比如如何合作和沟通”,所以疑问词应用how。故what 改为 how。
【点睛】名词性从句关键在于三点:
一、找准从句在主句中充当的成分即分出是名词性从句的主语句、宾语从句、表语从句还是同位语从句;
二、连接词从句中充当的成分(主、宾、定或状语或不做任何成分);
三、弄清楚每个连接词意义。此外还要注意,近年来高考对于名词性从句的考查多从名词性从句的语序和连接词的用法区别上考查。
如第10小题,此处为宾语从句,从句中为“疑问词+不定式”结构,表示“如何……”应用how。故what 改为 how。
