选词填空：

第一空显然缺少谓语，优先考虑动词，结合语义并

根据LateNovemberandDecember可以推出应选择过去式动词，

故答案锁定saw.

s根据two，首选复数名词，结合语义，“forthe

firsttimeinthetwodecades”,二十年来头一次。

ly句子为主系表结构，不缺主要成分，所以首选

副词和形容词，根据语义，ever表示“一直以来地、向来地”，“十

一月向来是全球范围内最温暖的一个月。”

s缺少主语，并且谓语是are，所以首选复数形式

的名词，结合前文Enjoythesnownow,“享受现在的雪吧”，因为

“时机是好的”。

空格前方有主语，且是单数形式，而后面由when

引导的时间状语从句的时态是一般现在时，所以主句谓语锁定第三人

称单数形式的动词，只能选择occurs.

ic空格左为定冠词the，空格右为名词，中间只能

选形容词，选择“特定的”符合语义。

ated空格左为be动词，右边为介词with，中间

只能是形容词或动词的过去分词形式，beassociatedwith表示“与

19

…有联系”，符合原意。

ences空格左为主语southernAfrica，空格内应

该为动词的第三人称单词形式，结合语义，选G，“南非经历着干燥

的天气。

空格左为情态动词，空格内必须为动词原形，填

reduce“减少”符合原题。

tions空格与左边的largefish共同构成动词

support的宾语，只能选一个名词来作为名词词组，故选K，“大量

的鱼群”。

段落匹配：

46.I，根据关键信息“figuresofspeech”定位到I段，原文中

该词组前面的形容词是“irrelevant”，和句中的“improper”为同

义替换关系。

47.C，根据关键信息“flaws”可定位至C段，同义替换关系句

“mymotherandherredpenshowedmehowdeeplyflawed

aflawlesssaycouldbe.”

48.K，该句意思为“为了达到完美，作家应该反复地修改他的

文章”，对应K段中的“Perhapsthepointofwritingtheflawless

essaywasnottogiveup,buttoneverwillinglyfinish.”

49.E，该句大意为“某些时间段里，作家可能会感觉什么都写

不出来了”，对应E段中的“Iwasnotabletoproduceanythingfor

3years.”。

20

50.B，该句意为“当老师认为作者的文章没有瑕疵时，他并不

惊讶”，对应B段的“soIwasonlyslightlytakenabackthatIhad

achievedperfectionatthetenderageof14.”该句中的“taken

aback”意为“惊讶”。

51.F，该句意为“对别人的演讲品头论足总比自己做一个更棒

的演讲容易”，对应F段的“Itisathingofnogreatdifficulty,”

accordingtoPlutarch,“toraiobjectionsagainstanother

man’sspeech,itisaveryeasymatter;buttoproducea

betterinitsplaceisaworkextremelytroublesome.”。

52.A，该句意为“作者视其母为最严格和最细心的老师”，对应

A段的“Shecaredaboutme,andmyintellectuallife,evenwhen

Ididn’

alsomymother.”。

53.H，该句意为“作者从其母处得到的批评改变了作者的人格”，

对应H段的“Thatwaswhentruecriticism,thetypethatchanged

measaperson,began.”。

54.J，该句意为“作者通过避免使用华而不实的语言慢慢地提升

自己的作品”，对应J段的“SoIstoppedshoutingand

bluffing,andslowlymywritingimproved.”。

55.G，该局意为“有建设性的评判能让作家在提升作品方面有

一个好的开始”，对应G段“Genuinecriticismcreatesaprecious

openingforanauthortobecomebetteronthisownterms;a

21

processthatisoftenextremelypainful,butalsoalmostalways

meaningful.

”。

仔细阅读：

56.A

此题难度不大，根据题干中的“SiliconValley”可定位第一段，

第一段尾句“istheresomethinguniqueaboutit?”直接把答案引

向第二段。精读第二段“itwouldn’tbesurprisingifitwere

hardtoreproduceinothercountries”，可知该句与A选项“Its

successishardtocopyanywhereel.”为同义替换关系，故选A，

其他三项均为无中生有。

57.B

此题难度不大，根据题干中“Miami”可定位至原文第五段，该

段表明迈阿密只有有钱人，而缺少“痴迷于技术的人”，所以无法成

为科技中心，该含义对应B选项，为统一替换关系，选项中的“the

rightkindoftalents”替换了原文的“nerds”。

58.A

此题难度不高，根据题干中的“Carnegie-Mellon”和

“Stanford”，“Berkeley”，“MIT”容易定位到原文第六段，第六段

段位抛出问题，所以顺势往第七段找答案。第七段中详细描述了卡内

基梅隆大学所在的匹兹堡的不同之处：“Theweatheristerrible”，

“richpeopledon’twanttoliveinPittsburghor

22

Ithaca”，这些信息都指向了A选项，为高度概括关系。

59.D

该题难度较高，根据题干中的“Boston”可定位至原文的第七

段。原文提到Boston的句子为“asthereisinBoston”，as在这

里表对比，意为“波士顿却有”，那么前文一定指出了匹兹堡没有某

物，所以关键句在于具体是什么，故往前文查找，发现前文提到的是

“andthere’snointerestingoldcitytomakeupforit”，

意思是匹兹堡不仅天气恶劣，而且也没有有趣的老城区，但是波士顿

却与之相反，固选择D，表示“波士顿有着很多历史古迹”。

60.C

本题难度不高，根据核心名词概念“startupinvestors”可定位

到原文最后一段，原文清晰地表述了，startupinvestors不仅能够

提供资金帮助，还能提供很多建议，所以C选项“他们不仅能提供

资金”是最好的答案，和原文关系为高度概括。

61.C

该题难度不大，根据“like-mindedpeople”定位到首段，首

段指出这类人可以给人信息并令人感到舒服，后面用

“unfortunately”表转折，后面的表述“这种舒服会让你意识不到

你可以扩大你的公司和事业”，对应C选项，同义替换。

62.B

本题不难。根据核心名词“leaders”定位到第三段，作者给leader

的建议是“虽然建立一个自由言论的环境不容易，但是俗话说灵感从

23

争论中迸发”，意思是领导者需要建立这样能的环境，固选择B项，

高度概括。

63.A

本题难度不大。根据关键信息“purpoofholdingadebate”

定位到原文倒数第三段，原文“objective”对应“purpo”，后面

跟的即为答案：“isnottowinbuttogetthetruththatwillallow

youtomovefaster,farther,andbetter.”，对应A选项。

64.D

该题难度较大。根据关键信息“fiercedebate”定位到原文倒

数第二段，原文给出观点“用微笑和幽默表明这是一个友好的讨论，

大家的目标都是一样的”，对应D选项，该题强干扰项为B，B选项

中的“respect”容易让同学们产生好感从而错选B，而实际上B选

项错在“other’sbeliefs”上，原文并没有提到尊重他人的

信念和观点，属于无中生有。

65.D

根据题干“rival”对应到最后一段的“sparringpartners”，原

文给出“让他们知道对他们的付出你很感激”，对应D选项“肯定他

们的付出”，为同义替换关系。
