【内容节选】 Listen to the following passage. Altogether the passage will be read to you four times. During the first reading, which will be done at normal speed, listen and try to understand the meaning. For the second and third readings, the passage will be read sentence by sentence, or phrase by phrase, with intervals of 15 seconds. The last reading will be read at normal speed again and during this time you should check your work. You will then be given 1 minute to check through your work once more. 　　 Please write the whole passage on ANSWER SHEET ONE. Learning Sympathy 　　①A big part of being human is feeling sympathy, but how early on in our lives do we learn this. ②Scientists find that babies respond to other people, by crying when other babies cry. ③However, babies can’t distinguish between themselves and others until they’re eighteen to twenty months old. ④Toddlers start to show concern for others around this time. ⑤Kids also begin to do things like comforting other people. ⑥And by the time they’re three, most children will try to protect a victim in a fight. 【难点点评】 　　（1）句①中，sympathy意为“同情心”，注意“sympathy”的拼写。 　　（2）句④中，toddler意为“刚学步的小孩”。 　　（3）句③中，注意“distinguish”一词的拼写，其意思为“区分，辨别”。 　　（4）句⑥中，注意主句的时态为一般将来时，不要遗漏“will”，同时注意“in a fight”中的冠词“a”不要漏掉。 There are twenty sentences in this section. Beneath each sentence there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Choose one word or phrase that best completes the sentence. 　　 Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO. 　_____ combination of techniques authors use, all stories—from the briefest anecdotes to the longest novels--have a plot. B 句意：无论作者采用怎样的技巧组合，所有的故事——从最简短的轶闻趣事到最长的小说——都有情节。whatever无论怎样。regarding就……而言。in so far as到……的程度；在……的范围之内。no matter不会单独用来引导从句，需要与特殊疑问词连用，如“no matter what”等。 She followed the receptionist down a luxurious corridor to a closed door; _____ the woman gave a quick knock before opening it. B 句意：她跟随接待人员沿着一条豪华的走廊来到了一扇关闭的门前，这位女士在把门打开前快速地敲了一下。此处为“介词＋关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词“a closed door”，介词搭配为“give a knock on a door”，“which”指代“a door”，把“on which”提前引导从句，故选B。 Ms Ennab is one of the first Palestinian _____ with seven years’ racing experience. C 句意：Ennab女士是巴勒斯坦首批女司机中的一位，拥有七年的赛车经验。“one of＋名词复数”为固定表达，所以空格处应填名词复数。在“man”或“woman”修饰名词时，如果是复数形式，“man”或“woman”以及其所修饰的名词都应变成复数形式，因此选C项。 “I wondered if I could have a word with you.” The past tense used in the sentence refers to a _____. B 句意：“我想知道我是否能和你谈谈。”这句话中的过去时表示对现在事件的试探。口语里，want，hope，wonder，wish以及think等动词后可以用一般过去时表示现在的一种委婉的语气或试探性的态度。tentativeness试探性。因此B项正确。 “If I were you, I wouldn’t wait to propose to her.” The subjective mood in the sentence is used to _____. D 句意：“如果我是你，我就迫不及待跟她求婚了。”这句话中的虚拟语气用于提出建议。由句意可知，这是在建议立刻求婚。make a suggestion提出建议。因此D项正确。alleviate hostility降低敌意。express unfavorable feelings表达不快。indicate uncertainty表示不确定性。 “It’s a shame that the city official should have gone back on his word.” The modal auxiliary SHOULD expresses _____. B 句意：“这位市政官员竟然食言，这真是个耻辱。”句中的情态动词SHOULD表示失望。由句意可看出，should表达了一种失望的情感，故选B。obligation义务，责任。tentativeness试探性。 Timothy Ray Brown, the first man cured of HIV, initially opted against the stem cell transplant that _____ history. D 句意：Timothy Ray Brown是第一位被治愈的艾滋病人。最初，他反对选用干细胞移植这种后来会创造历史的疗法。主句中谓语“opted”是一般过去时，而四个选项中都有“later”一词，因此空格处应为过去将来时，故选D。could have done表示“过去本来能做却没有做”。should have done表示“过去本该做却没有做”。might do sth.表示“做某事可能性很小”。 Some Martian rock structures look strikingly like structures on Earth that are known _____ by microbes. C 句意：一些火星的岩石结构看起来跟地球上的岩石结构极为相似。人们已知，地球上的岩石结构是由微生物创造的。be known to do是固定搭配，其中，动词不定式作状语，表示主语在某一方面存在的情况。在人们已知前，岩石结构已经由微生物创造，因此应该是“have been created”，所以选C项。 At that moment, with the crowd watching me, I was not afraid in the ordinary sense, as I _____ if I _____ alone. A 句意：那一刻，周围的人群看着我，按常理来说，我并不害怕。但如果我一个人的话，我会害怕。主句中谓语“was not afraid”为一般过去时，因此，本句是对过去进行虚拟假设，if从句中的谓语动词应该是“had been”，而主句谓语动词应是“would have done”，A项正确。 You must fire _____ incompetent assistant of yours. C 句意：你必须解雇你那位不称职的助手。双重属格所修饰的名词可以跟“this”和“that”等指示限定词连用，表示爱憎褒贬等感情色彩。本题中“must fire”和“incompetent”表达了憎恶的情感，故选C项。 Some narratives seem more like plays, heavy with dialogue by which writers allow their _____ to reveal themselves. A 句意：有些叙事风格更像是戏剧，有着大量对话。作者以此让角色通过对话来展现自己。character角色。characteristic特性，特征。charisma魅力。characterization人物刻画，特性描述。 If you intend to melt the snow for drinking water, you can _____ extra purity by running it through a coffee filter. D 句意：如果您打算将雪融化为饮用水，您可以用咖啡过滤器过滤融水，以确保额外纯度。四个选项为近义词，都有“保证，确保”的含义，但用法不同。ensure后可接名词做宾语。assure和reassure后通常接人作宾语。“insure”是“ensure”的美式拼法，有“ensure”的情况下，优先选“ensure”。 The daisy-like flowers of chamomile have been used for centuries to _____ anxiety and insomnia. B 句意：几个世纪以来，长得像雏菊的洋甘菊花一直被用于缓解焦虑和失眠。relieve意为“减轻”，符合题意。decline表示“衰退，下降”时，为不及物动词。quench一般的搭配为“quench thirst”（止渴）和“quench fire”（灭火），不与“anxiety and insomnia”搭配。suppress意为“镇压；抑制感情”，同样不与“insomnia and anxiety”搭配。 Despite concern about the disappearance of the album in popular music, 2014 delivered a great crop of album _____. C 句意：尽管人们担忧流行音乐专辑的消失，但2014年还是有大量专辑发行。release表示“唱片的发行和电影的上映”，因此选C项。publications指书和杂志的出版。appearance外表，（在公共活动的）露面。presentations展示；陈述；颁奖仪式。 The party’s reduced vote in the general election was _____ of lack of support for its policies. C 句意：该党在大选中获得的投票减少，这表明其政策缺乏支持。be indicative of为固定搭配，意为“表明”。revealing揭露隐情的。confirming确定的。evident明显的。 He closed his eyes and held the two versions of La Mappa to his mind’s _____ to analyze their differences. B 句意：他闭上眼睛，在脑海里回忆La Mappa的两个版本，分析它们的区别。one’s mind’s eye为固定搭配，意思是“某人的脑海/回忆”，因此选B项。 Twelve pupils were killed and five _____ injured after gunmen attacked the school during lunchtime. A 句意：持枪歹徒在午餐时袭击学校，12名学生在袭击中遇害，5人严重受伤。critically injured表示“受伤严重的”，符合题意，故选A项。enormously意为“非常地，巨大地”，通常不与“injured”搭配。greatly可与“injured搭配”，但严重程度不如“critically”，用“critically”更佳。hard作副词时，意为“努力地，用力地，猛烈地”，不与“injured”搭配。 A 15-year-old girl has been arrested _____ accusations of using Instagram to anonymously threaten her high school. C 句意：一位15岁的女孩被捕，她被指控用Instagram匿名威胁其就读高中。arrest常用的用法有：arrest sb. for sth因某事而逮捕某人；arrest sb. on charges/ accusations of doing sth.因受到做某事的指控而逮捕某人。因此C项正确。 It was reported that a 73-year-old man died on an Etihad flight _____ to Germany from Abu Dhabi. D 句意：据报道，一名73岁的男性在一架由阿布扎比飞往德国的阿提哈德航班上死亡。be bound to/ for意为“前往……”，因此选D项。
