H)mattered

37．【C1】

正确答案：O

解析：空格位于时间状语从句中，形容词satisfied后面缺少副词修饰。按照

一项有关幸福的新的数学模式来看，当我们出乎意料地被满足时，而不是提前就

知道某一积极的结果，我们会更幸福，故空格处应填入unexpectedly。备选的副

词中，cloly“紧密地”不符合文意，故排除。

38．【C2】

正确答案：F

解析：空格位于句首，is之前，句子缺少主语成分，故应填入名词作主语。

本文的主题是有关幸福的，本句承上启下，是研究报告作者罗伯.拉特里奇对幸

福的诠释。根据句意，幸福不是你总体上做得有多好，而是你做得比预期的要好，

故空格处应填入Happiness。因为此处所缺名词位于句首，首字母需大写，故排

除名词distance，instance和result；而Consciousness“意识”不符合文意，故排

除。

39．【C3】

正确答案：G

解析：空格位于介词for之后，介词短语缺少宾语成分，故应填入名词作宾

语。本句紧接着上一句对幸福的诠释，举例说明幸福和期望的关系，故空格处应

填入instance，forinstance是固定搭配，意为“例如”，作为插入语引出例子。备

选的名词中，distance“距离”和result“结果”均不符合文意，故排除。

40．【C4】

正确答案：J

解析：如果你预想一顿饭的味道一般，而不是设想这顿饭本应很美味，那么

吃完这顿饭，你实际上会感到更幸福，故空格处应填入oppod，asoppodto

是固定搭配，意为“与……对照”。备选的形容词中，pessimistic和significant

都没有此用法，故排除。

41．【C5】

正确答案：K

解析：空格位于such和名词thought之间，故应填入形容词修饰名词。根据

第二段和第三段的例子可知，幸福模式表明：当你等待一个结果时，如此悲观的

想法会引起不愉快的情绪，故空格处应填入pessimistic。备选的形容词中，

significant“重要的”不符合文意，故排除。

42．【C6】

正确答案：N

解析：空格位于if条件状语从句中，且位于连接词and和宾语从句之间，本

句中and连接两个并列动词短语，故应填入动词原形支配紧邻的宾语从句，且与

make并列作从句的谓语。根据上文分析可知，如果你和一位怪异的朋友有个约

定，你假设他会失约，即使他真的准时赴约，你的幸福感也会减弱，故空格处应

填入suppo。备选的动词中，containing，disappoints，mattered和obtaining均

不是动词原形，故排除。

43．【C7】

正确答案：I

解析：空格位于副词finally和名词短语concerttickets之间，且位于介词about

之后，故应填入动名词支配名词短语。根据句意，你很兴奋，期望最终得到音乐

会的门票，去看你最喜欢的音乐家，故空格处应填入obtaining。备选的另一个动

名词containing“包含”不符合文意，故排除。

44．【C8】

正确答案：L

解析：空格位于句末，且位于不定冠词a(n)之后，故应填入名词。上文表明

你期望得到音乐会的门票，这种期待的结果使你一整天都会更高兴一些，故空格

处填入result，ausaresult是固定搭配，意为“结果”。备选的名词中，distance

“距离”不符合文意，故排除。

45．【C9】

正确答案：D

解析：空格位于evenif引导的让步状语从句中，且位于主语theperformance

之后，连接词and之前，本句中and连接两个并列动词短语，故应填入动词的第

三人称单数与caus并列作谓语。根据下文的causunhappiness得知，即使这

位音乐家的表演最终使你失望，引起不愉快的情绪，故空格处填disappoints。备

选的动词中，containing和mattered均不是动词的第三人称单数，故排除。

46．【C10】

正确答案：H

解析：空格位于宾语从句中，且位于主语surpri之后，从句中缺少谓语成

分，因为前面的found是过去式，故空格应填入动词的过去式作从句的谓语。拉

特里奇发现惊喜对幸福感更要紧，故空格应填入mattered。

解析：本题考查大卫.雷柏林认为许多车库没被使用的原因。原文第一段第

五句提到，但是，运输专家大卫.雷柏林说，也因为现代化的大型汽车与老旧的

车库并不适合。C中的suit是原文中fitin的同义转述，故答案为C。A“车库里

被偷汽车的数量下降了76%”与第一段第六句的信息不符。原文提到，英格兰和

威尔士被偷汽车的数量下降了76%。这个数字统计的是放在车库外面的汽车，故

排除；B“现代化的大型汽车放在车库里会生锈”是对第一段第六句的曲解，原

文只提到汽车放在车库外面很少会生锈，并未提及放在车库里面会如何，故排除；

D“一些家庭拥有的车库比汽车多”与第一段第四句“一些家庭拥有的汽车数量

要比车位多”相矛盾．故排除。

58．WhatdoesPaulBishopsayaboutgarageconversion?

A．Theconvertedgaragesprovideaneasylifeforoldparents.

B．Itismoredifficulttoconvertthegarageforagingpeople.

C．Emptygaragescanbeudtottlesocialproblems.

D．Agingparentsfilltheirgarageswithulessthings.

正确答案：A

解析：本题考查保罗.比绍普提及的车库改造的信息。原文第二段第二句提

到，有一些车库被改造，专为上了年纪的父母提供便利。由此可知，改造后的车

库使年老的父母生活便利，故答案为A。B“为老年人改造车库更困难”，原文

未提及，故排除；C“空闲的车库可以用来解决社会问题”，第一段末句提到，

如今的车库却用来解决一连串不同的问题。但保罗.比绍普并未提及是社会问题，

故排除；D“上了年纪的父母在车库里堆满了无用的东西”，第二段第一句提到，

无法搬去更大房屋的家庭利用车库堆放不必要和不想要的杂物，并非是上了年纪

的父母堆放的，而且这也不是保罗.比绍普提及的信息，故排除。

59．Forsomeyoungpeople,theneedlessgarage________.

A．isrentedbythemtomakeanearning

B．isenasachoiceofaccommodation

C．isperfecttostoremusicinstruments

D．isanidealplacetofreelyhostparties

正确答案：B

解析：本题考查多余的车库对于年轻人来说的用处。原文第二段第三句提到，

一些无法或者不愿意离开家的年轻人可以选择居住在车库里。由此可知，车库对

这些年轻人来说是一个可以选择的住处，B中的achoiceofaccommodation是原

文anoptiontoliveinthegarage的同义转述，故答案为B。A“被年轻人出租挣钱”

是对第二段第四句的曲解。原文提到，车库是租给喜欢音乐的年轻人，而不是被

年轻人出租，故排除；C“是存放音乐设备的理想场所”和D“是自由举办派对

的理想场所”均是对第二段末句信息偷换概念。原文提到，车库可以成为自由演

奏音乐的理想场所，演奏音乐和存放音乐设备及举办派对是不同的概念，故排除。

60．Whatdowelearnaboutpubliclyownedgarages?

A．40%ofthemarerentedfreeofchargetothecouncilors.

B．Manyofthemhavebeenpulleddowntomakewayforhous.

C．40%ofgaragesownedbyHackneycouncilhavebeenoccupied.

D．ManyoftheminBerlinhavebeenconvertedintosmalloffices.

正确答案：D

解析：本题考查公共车库的信息。原文第三段末句提到，这种想法已经在许

多地方被付诸实践，比如柏林。根据上文，这种想法指的就是将空置的公共车库

改造成小型办公室，故答案为D。A“40%的车库免费租给议员们”是对第三段

第二句中free的曲解，原文中free意为“空闲的”，而非A中“免费”的意思，

而且原文也未提及租给议员们的信息，故排除；B“许多公共车库被拆除用来建

造房屋”与第三段第三句不符，原文提到，车库所占用的土地是不适合在上面建

造房屋的，故排除；C“哈克尼委员会所拥有车库的40%都被使用了”与第三段

第二句矛盾，原文提到的是40%的车库都是空置的，故排除。

61．Whatdowelearnfromthelastparagraph?

A．Fewcouncilorsareoppodtotheconversionproposal.

B．Localresidentspermitthehomelesstoliveinthegarages.

C．Thelocalauthorityagreeswiththeplanningofgarageconversion.

D．Itiscomplicatedtoobtaintheplanningconnttotheconversion.

正确答案：D

解析：本题考查最后一段的信息。原文最后一段第四句提到，获取改造计划

许可是复杂的，D中的complicated是原文中complex的近义词，且选项中的obtain

theplanningconnt是原文中的getingplanningpermission的同义转述，故答案为

D。A“很少有议员反对改造提议”与最后一段第二句相矛盾，原文提到，几乎

没有委员会有足够的热情真正支持车库改造，故排除；B“当地居民允许无家可

归的人住在车库里”与最后一段第三句不符合，原文提到，议员们担心当地居民

会不同意，故排除；C“地方当局同意车库改造计划”与最后一段末句不符，原

文提到，这些计划可能会毫无用处并被放弃，故排除。

62．ItiscommonlybelievedthatSTEMworkers________.

A．receivelesssalarycomparedwiththeirskills

B．arehelpfultopromoteeconomicdevelopment

C．aremorethanindemand

D．resolvedrivingproblems

正确答案：B

解析：本题考查对于科学、技术、工程和数学领域的工作人员的普遍观点。

原文第一段第二句提到，他们被视为发展经济的主力军。由此可推知，他们有助

于促进经济发展，故答案为B。A“和他们的技能相比，他们的薪水少了些”与

第一段第一句不符，原文提到，他们的收入是最高的，故排除；C“他们超过了

需求”是对第一段第一句的曲解。原文中的themostindemand意为“最需要的”，

也就是说，社会还需要更多这些领域的工作人员，C的逻辑与此不符，故排除；

D“他们解决驱动问题”是对第一段第二句的曲解。原文中的drivers不是字面意

思“司机，驾驶员”，而是比喻义，原文指他们是解决问题的主力军，D的逻辑

与此不符，故排除。

63．Thesurveyofmorethan5,000womenwithengineeringdegreesimplies

that________.

A．itiasyformentosolvetheengineeringproblems

B．itisdifficultforwomentograduatefromtopuniversities

C．menareliabletochooengineeringastheiruniversitymajor

D．itisdifficultforwomentosurvivethefieldofengineering

正确答案：D

解析：本题考查对5000多位具有工程学位女性的调查暗示的信息。原文第

二段第二句提到，40%的女性或者退出了这个行业，或者最初就未进入这个行业。

由此可推测，女性想在工程领域生存是困难的，故答案为D。A“男性轻易就能

解决工程问题”和C”男性上大学时倾向于主修工程学”，原文均未提及，故排

除；B“女性很难从顶尖高校毕业”，原文虽然提及这5000多位女性毕业于顶尖

高校，但并未提及女性是否很难从这些学校毕业，故排除。

64．WhatisthefindingofNadyaFouad?

A．WomenlackconfidenceinSTEMfields.

B．WomenjustsacrificetheirSTEMworkforfamily.

C．WomenfaceaterribleworkenvironmentinSTEMfields.

D．WomendaretochallengeimpolitecolleaguesinSTEMfields.

正确答案：C

解析：本题考查纳迪亚.福阿德的研究结果。原文第三段第三句提到，福阿

德发现，大多数情况下，真正迫使女性退出这个行业的是不文明的工作氛围……。

由此可知，在科学、技术、工程和数学领域，女性的工作氛围是糟糕的，故答案

为C。A“在科学、技术、工程和数学领域，女性缺少自信”与第四段第一句不

符。原文提到，这不是让女性更加自信的问题，故排除；B“女性仅仅是为了家

庭而牺牲了她们在科学、技术、工程和数学领域的工作”，尽管第三段末句提到，

三分之一的女性表示，她们和孩子们待在家里，因为她们的公司未能解决工作与

生活的冲突，但B中的just过于绝对，故排除；D“女性敢于挑战科学、技术、

工程和数学领域不礼貌的同事”与第四段的信息不符。原文提到，她们的同事对

她们不友好，这也是她们考虑离开这类工作的原因之一。由此可知，她们并不是

勇于挑战，而是考虑退出，故排除。

65．ThepreviousstudiexplainthattherearefewwomeninSTEMfields

becau________.

A．womenareunwillingtocompetewithmen

B．womenarebetterpromotedinotherfields

C．womenarenotasintelligentasmen

D．womenarenotfondofsuchfields

正确答案：C

解析：本题考查先前研究对于很少有女性从事科学、技术、工程或数学这些

领域丁作的解释。原文第四段末句提到，先前的研究倾向于认为，女性“天生”

不够聪明……。C选项是对此句的同义转述，故答案为C。A“女性不愿意和男

性竞争”和D“女性不喜欢这些领域”，原文均未提及，故排除；B“女性在其

他领域能够得到更好的晋升”，是纳迪亚.福阿德的研究结果，而不是先前的研究

结果，故排除。

66．NadyaFouadsuggestsinthelastparagraphthat________.

A．managersbefullyresponsiblefortheuncivilworkclimate

B．thecorporationmakewomenmoreconfidentandwir

C．thecompanyhelpwomenttletheirfamilyproblems

D．thecorporationofferwomenthechanceofpromotion

正确答案：D

解析：本题考查纳迪亚·福阿德的建议。原文最后一段第三句和末句提到，

她们离开是因为……缺乏晋升机会……公司应该投资有益于女性发展和晋升的

专业培训。由此可推知，福阿德建议公司应该提供给女性晋升的机会，故答案为

D。A“经理应该对不文明的工作氛围负全部责任”，第四段第三句的确提到，女

性得不到上级的支持，但A选项的fully过于绝对，同事的不友好态度也造成了

不文明的工作氛围，而且最后一段未提及，故排除；B“公司应该使女性更加自

信、更加明智”，不是纳迪亚.福阿德的观点，故排除；C“公司应该帮助女性解

决家庭问题”，最后一段未提及，故排除。

67．中国的长城是古代中国的军事防御建筑。首个最主要的城墙建于秦始

皇统治时期。这个城墙并不是依靠独立的努力完成的，而是连接了建于战国时期

(theWarringStatesPeriod)的不同地域的城墙。它位于现在长城的更北边，而且所

剩无几。现存的长城主要是明长城，建于14世纪末期至17世纪初期，是为了保
