许多人喜欢中餐。在中国，烹饪不仅被视为一种技能，而且也被视为一种艺术。精心准备的中餐

既可口又好看。烹饪技艺和配料在中国各地差别很大。但好的烹饪都有一个共同点，总是要考虑到颜

色、味道、口感和营养(nutrition)。由于食物对健康至关重要，好的厨师总是努力在谷物、肉类和蔬菜

之间取得平衡，所以中餐既味美又健康。

译文：共享经济可能会走网上购物的路子。

定位：由题干中的sharh“geconomy和onlineshoppin9定位到文章G)段。

G)。详解：本段开始就说共享经济有点像网上购物，然后作者进一步说明两者的相似之处：一是用户

从担心到信任这种交易模式；二是这种模式为商家提供机遇。作者由此推论，共享经济同样也会经历

类似的过程，故答案为G)。

54．OneadvantageofsharLR91sthatownerconomyfromrentingoutitemsnotmadefulluof．

译文：共享经济的一大优势就是所有者能通过出租他们无法物尽其用的物品来赚钱。

定位：由题干中的earnmoney和itemsnotmadeuof定位到文章E)段。

E)。详解：本段从出租者、承租者和环保三个方面说明“协作消费”的优势。对于出租者来说，他

们可以物尽其用并有所收入，作者引用了Airbnb和RelayRides两家网络平台的数据来说明“协作消

费”对出租者的优势。题干中的itemsnotmadeuof是原文中的underud的同义转述，故答案为

E)。

译文：共享经济之所以吸引那些善于交际的人是因为他们能够通过这种方式结识新朋友。

定位：由题干中的sociable和meetnewpeople定位到文章F)段。

F)。详解：该段提到两种人：一种人喜欢社交，正因如此，共享经济深深地吸引了他们；另一种

人脾气倔强，不信任他人，这种人是不会赞同共享经济的。题干中的appealsto，thesociable和meet

newpeople分别是原文中charm，sociablesouls和meetingnewpeople的同义转述，故答案为F)。

56．A)。定位：由题干中的appetite和foodintake定位到文章首段第一句。

。详解：事实细节题。文章开篇指出了人们的食欲和食物摄取受到诸多因素的影响，包括人们的饮食

环境和对面前食物的认知，故答案为A)。B)“食物中所含的成分”，文章仅在第六段提到了奶昔中含

有卡路里，包装上对卡路里含量的标注会给人们造成心理暗示，这主要是用来论证对食物数量的认

知会影响人们的饮食，而非从所含成分方面分析对人们饮食造成的影响，可以排除；c)“我们饮食的

时间”和D)“我们饮食的速度”，文中均未提及，可以排除。

67．D)。定位：由题干中的remembered和previousmeal定位到文章第兰段第二句。

详解：推理判断题。定位句指出，饭后)ttJ,时后，决定人们饥饿程度的不是他们已食用的食物量，而是

他们吃饭时面前所见到的食物量，也就是说，影响人们饥饿程度的是他们记忆中的食物量而不是胃

里的食物量。由此可推断，记忆对饮食造成影响，如果记忆中上顿饭吃了很多，那么不管是不是真

的吃了很多，都不会感觉太饿，故答案为

排除；c)“它鼓励学生终生学习”，根据文章可知，学生只有终生学习，掌握不断学习的技能，才能适应

未来社会的变化。因此“鼓励学生终生学习”是实现理想教育的要求之一，故可以排除；D)“它确保学

生的期望顺利实现”，文中没有提及，故可以排除。

62．D)。定位由题干中的problem，highschool定位到文章第二段。

详解：事实细节题。作者在文章第二段论述了目前高中教育存在的问题，如提供给学生的就业准备不

足，造成了经济中不断扩大的技能差距。盲目鼓励学生读大学造成了目前世界上最高的大学辍学率，

故答案为D)。A)“忽裕那些不上大学的学生的需要”，文中没有提及，故可以排除；B)“只教授毕业之

后能够立即用到的技能”，文中作者指出高中提供给学生的就业准备不足，由此可推测，学校没有教

授学生必备的工作技能，故可以排除；c)“很少注意到学习E有困难的学生”，文中没有提及，故可以

排除。

63．c)。定位：宙题干中的knowledgeeconomy定位到文章第四段第二旬。

详解：推理判断题。第四段第二句中提到，在知识型经济中，职业角色迅速变化，很多大学生为之

准备的职位甚至可能还不存在。由此可推断，知识型经济的特征是职业的迅速变化，新的职位不断

地被创造，有些读书时还不存在的职位可能在毕业时出现，届时，在学校里学到的知识就远远不够

了，因此人们需要持续学习来适应这些不断被创造出的新职位，故答案为C)。A)“人们必须接受高等

教育才有资格担任专业的技术职务”文中没有提及，故可排除；B)“文科专业的学生找工作困难”，文

章中提到大学生为之准备的职位甚至不存在，这句话强调的是职位迅速变化这一现象，而不是学生

找不到工作的问题，而且作者也没有涉及不同学科的学生，故可以排除；D)“大学发现很难教授学生

如何应付不断变化的经济”，根据文章可知，作者呼吁学校培养学生适应不断变化的未来的能力，因此

D)讲的是目前大学可能存在的问题，而不是知识型经济的特征，故可以排除。

64．c)。定位：由题干中的liberalartscollege定位到文章第五段第一句。

详解：事实细节题。文章第五段提到在文理学院，这些培训比任何一门专业都重要。“这些培训”指

上文提到的“学会在口头和书面陈述中很好地表达观点，知道如何寻找信息并且知道如何做调查研

究”，而这些技能培训是为了使学生适应未来的变化，故答案为C)。A)“特殊领域里扎实的背景知识”，

根据文章可知，文理学院应注重广泛培养学生适应未来的基本技能，而不是仅仅针对特殊领域，故

可以排除；B)“当前社会急需的实用技能”。文章强调．知识型经济的特征是职业的迅速变化，因此

只培养当前社会急需的实用技能，虽能取得暂时的成效，但是对于适应未来的变化来说是远远不够

的，故可以排除；D)“对高级学术研究有帮助的思维技熊”，文章指出我们需要继续重视并广泛培养

将会终生受益的思维技能，这种思维技能是基础技能，而不只针对高级学术研究，故可以排除。

65．D)。定位：由题干中的migge曲iort和parents定位到文章来段最后一句。

详解：事实细节题。最后一段提到，“由于家长在大学阶段的参与，通向成年的漫长道路看起来好像

更长了”，这句话我们可以理解为家长在大学阶段过多参与孩子的教育会影响孩子的成长。文章最后

指出“学会何时何地进行干预将会有助于学生享受这些日益昂贵的教育所带来的成果。”也就是说，

作者建议家长学会适当的参与，避免过多的干预，这样才能使孩子更好地成长，使教育取得更大的

成效，故答案为D)。A)“反思高等教育的价值”，这是作者在文章首段对所有人的呼吁，而不是针对

家长提出的建议，可以排除；B)“明智地投资孩子的教育”，文章中并宋提及，故可以排除；C)“帮助

孩子尽情发挥才智”，这个观点本身是正确的，但不是文章表述的内容，故可以排除。
