The project alongside with the experiment we had once committed so much time ______ perfectly.‎ A. to work out B. to working out C. to worked out D. has worked out ‎【答案】C ‎【解析】试题分析：本题中含有一个定语从句we had once devoted so much time to，这个定语从句修饰先行词the experiment，定语从句中有一个固定搭配devote some time to…花时间在…之上；横线首先要填to，然后再接谓语动词work out。另外定语从句中使用了过去完成时had devoted，说明后面主句使用的是过去的时态。句义：这项工程和我们已经花了很多时间做的实验结果非常完美。故C正确。‎ 考点：考察句子结构和时态 ‎15. ----What’s the capital of Luxiembourg?‎ ‎---I don’t know. _________.‎ A.

A recent study about color was published in the journal Psychological Science. It shows a direct connection between a person’s ability to perceive color and their emotions.‎ Psychologists have long known that emotions can affect the way people perceive things. That’s in part because chemicals from your brain might affect how you process what you see. “Color is such an important part of our experience,” says lead author Christopher Thorstenson, a psychologist at the university of Rochester, in New York. There’s reason, he says, that sad people commonly describe the world as “colorless” and “gray”, and happy people use words like “bright” and “colorful”.‎ In the experiment, the researchers randomly assigned people to one of two groups. People in the “sadness” group watched a sad scene from The Lion King. Those in the “amusement’ group watched a comedy.‎ Everyone was then asked to look at red, yellow, green, and blue patches(斑点)that had been ‎ changed to a grayish color. “Some of the patches are pretty difficulty to make out,” Thorstenson admits he says it takes some time to figure out their shade. People were scored on how accurate their color perception was. Then they completed an emotional evaluation.‎ The result? Sad people had a hard time seeing the difference between shades along the blue-yellow color axis(色轴). But they did no have problems seeing colors in the red-green spectrum(光谱). Thorstenson says this could be the result of an evolutionary need to see red as a response to anger.‎ Thorstenson says these results highlight the possible important of dopamine in sight. Dopamine is a chemical that sends signals to the brain. Researchers are hoping to focus more on dopamine in the future. “We know dopamine affects how we see colors, too,” Thorstenson says “How we feel can really influence how we see the world around us” he says.‎ ‎38. According to paragraph 2, how people describe the world reflects ________.‎ A. how they feel B. how they think C. their world view D. their language skills ‎39. In the experiment, the participants were asked to watch different programs so as to __________.‎ A. check their feelings B. influence their moods C. develop their interests D. test their personalities ‎40. Why were the patches made grayish in the experiment?‎ A. To make them look prettier B. To make them hard to recognize C. Because it changed the participants’ attitudes D. Because it was good for the participants’ eyes ‎41. Which color is easier to recognize for sad people?‎ A. Blue B. Yellow C. Red D. Gray ‎【答案】38. A 39. B 40. B 41. C ‎【解析】文章是关于感知颜色和情绪的能力之间的之间联系的研究调查。‎ ‎38. A细节理解题。根据第二段Psychologists have long known that emotions can affect the way people perceive things心理学家早就知道情绪会影响人们感知事物的方式，可知人们对世界的描述可以反射人们的感情，故选A。‎ ‎39. B细节理解题。根据文章People were scored on how accurate their color perception was. Then they completed an emotional evaluation.人们对他们的颜色感知有多精确，然后他们完成了一项情感评估，可知让参与者看不同的节目就是为了观察他们的情感变化，故选B。‎ ‎40. B细节理解题。根据文章Everyone was then asked to look at red, yellow, green, and blue patches(斑点)that had been changed to a grayish color. “Some of the patches are pretty difficulty to make out,” Thorstenson admits he says it takes some time to figure out their shade.每个人都要求看红、黄、绿、蓝补丁已经变成了灰色的颜色，“很多补丁是很难辨认出来的。”他说，要花一些时间才能找到它们的阴影，可知是为了不容易被辨认出来，故选B。‎ ‎41. C细节理解题。根据文章Sad people had a hard time seeing the difference between shades along the blue-yellow color axis(色轴). But they did no have problems seeing colors in the red-green spectrum(光谱). Thorstenson says this could be the result of an evolutionary need to see red as a response to anger.悲伤的人很难看到黄蓝色轴，但是看红绿色谱没有问题。故选C。‎ C John J. Lennon, who’s currently serving a 28-year life sentence for drug dealing and a murder he committed in 2001. He is one of 23 out of 2,300 inmates(监犯)participating in an education program, and he advocates greater access to education in prison through TV. Currently, he says the TV is used as “an inability tool; it’s a tool to keep us entertained cells.” But he suggests that prison TVs should stream online courses instead of movies.‎ ‎“If inmates had the chance to watch an online course then they might say, ‘Hey, look what’s on Channel 3; it’s an interesting lecture from a professor of philosophy.’ Believe it or not, people will tune in, and after the lecture they’re going to go on their gates, hang on their bars, and they’re going to talk about it.”‎ Education, he says, also makes prison a safer place. “If I’m working on a paper banging away(砰砰响个不停)on my typewriter, I have other things on my mind. I’m not fighting in the prison yard.” Most prison administrators support that view. “They understand it makes prison a safer place if you have a group of guys with their eyes on the prize who are trying to change themselves.”‎ John J. Lennon arrived at Attica in 2004 with a 9th grade education, but in May will graduate with a two-year associate degree. Attica creative writing workshops have changed his life.‎ ‎“I came into prison looking up to gangsters(匪徒), now I look up to scholars and intellectuals like Doran Larson, Tim Golden, all these Pulitzer-winning journalists. Education has changed the ‎ lens(镜头)through which I view the world. I don’t look up to gangsters anymore. I think its’ a horrible lifestyle.”‎ Hamilton College professor Doran Larson has been teaching creative writing workshops at Attica since 2006. He says the demand for education from inmates is enormous and that it’s “almost impossible to create a program large enough to satisfy the desire which pushes against the public perception(认识)that such people inside aren’t interested in education.”‎ Thoughts on prison education have changed over the years. Until 1973, there was a period of rehabilitation(改造)in American prisons. Even after that year, college degree programs were available for inmates nationwide until 1994, when the country’s movement to get tough on crime made prisoners not qualified for Pell fund aid. “We have moved to a punishment mentality(心态),” Larson says. No one cared about these people “as long as they are kept from the outside.”‎ Larson argues that inmates want to become productive members of society. The prison population is “a huge untapped resource, both commercial and intellectual.

S. to avoid charges if a limited number of eagles are injured or die when they run into the huge turning blades(桨叶), the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service said Thursday.‎ The Shiloh IV Wind Project LLC, 60 miles east of San Francisco, will receive a special permit allowing up to five golden eagles to be accidentally killed over five years. Previously, such eagle deaths could potentially draw criminal charges and discourage private investment in wind farms.‎ Agency Director Daniel Ashe said the permit encourages development of renewable energy while requiring the wind company to take steps to protect eagles from turbines(涡轮机)and power lines. The move will help California reach its goal of producing one-third of its energy from renewable sources by 2020, he said.‎ Michael Hutchins of the American Bird Conservancy said he believes the five-year permit for the California wind farm is reasonable, but he said the rapid expansion of wind energy has gotten ahead of the science and regulation to protect all types of birds. Too often, he said, wind farms are built in migratory patterns or near wetlands.‎ Birds on the hunt can become dizzy by what’s on the ground and fly into the blades, Hutchins said.‎ ‎“Is it really green energy if it’s going to kill hundreds of thousands of birds or bats each year?” he said. “The whole system needs a much harder look.”‎ Shiloh IV Wind Project is a 102-megawatt wind farm operating since 2012 and made up of 50 turbines in Solano County.‎ Shiloh is the first to obtain a permit. Marie Strassburger, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s regional migratory bird chief, said that obtaining one requires a lengthy process, and because this is the first of its kind, officials have carefully made conversation plans with the wind company.‎ ‎“It’s not a quick, efficient process by any means,” Strassburger said.‎ Federal wildlife officials in California, Nevada and Southern Oregon are working on two more applications for five-year eagle permits and one for 30 years, said Scott Flaherty of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Sacramento. Eagles are not listed as endangered, but they are protected under a federal act.‎ ‎46. Shiloh IV will be breaking the law if ___________.‎ A. its turbines injure any birds in California B. it withdraws its private investment in wind farms C. its equipment kills over five golden eagles in five years D. it builds wind farm in migratory patterns or near wetlands ‎47. Why is California giving Shiloh IV the permit?‎ A. To encourage green energy B. To protect big turning blades C. To prevent criminal activities D. To support research on eagles ‎48. What was Hutchins’s attitude to wind farm’s rapid development?‎ A. Tolerant B. Uncaring C. Surprised D. Critical ‎49. When drafting the five-year permit, officials ________.‎ A. Showed great caution B. Reached an agreement quickly C. Wanted to list eagles as endangered D. Had already singed tow similar permits ‎50. Who explained to us how eagles are killed on wind farms?‎ A. Daniel Ashe B. Scott Flaherty C. Michael Hutchins D. Marie ‎【答案】46. C 47. A 48. D 49. A 50. C ‎【解析】文章介绍了加州风场将成为可以避免因为鹰由于遇到巨大的转动叶片而造成一定数量的受伤或者死亡而受到指控的第一个风场。公司方面认为这一举动有助于绿色能源的使用，美国鸟类保护协会对此持怀疑态度。‎ ‎46.

C细节理解题。根据文章wind farms are built in migratory patterns or near wetlands.风力发电厂往往建造在迁徙区或者靠近湿地的地区，Birds on the hunt can become dizzy by what’s on the ground and fly into the blades, Hutchins said.

From school-going kids to working professionals, everyday wants to look their best. Fashion is promoted mostly by TV advertisements and celebrities. Many people defined their fashion statement as comfort. They wear whatever makes them feel comfortable. Of course you need to consider the occasion too. You can’t wear a jogging suit and go for a wedding and similarly you won’t wear a skirt to go jogging.‎ Nowadays, fashion has become a common language for people all over the world, it helps to connect people internationally, because it travels from one city to another. Sometimes, fashion can be an inspiration for many to discover their hidden potential, and it persuades individuals to attend fashion schools and make something out of their career. In other words, fashion inspires some people to expand their knowledge and creativity to turn their hobby into a career. And therefore, fashion offers employment opportunities to those who dream about being a part of the fashion industry.‎ Additionally, following your own fashion statement makes you a more independent thinker. If you think you have the ability to carry the attire(服装),then it fills you up with a great deal of confidence. It also helps you to make new friends easily. If you share the same interest as other people, then connecting with them won’ t be difficult. You will have a common thing to base your decisions on.‎ However, there are also negative impacts of fashion. For example, today some students focus ‎ more and more on fashion than on their studies. They want to know everything about fashion, but little about their school or college activities. there are other problems, too. People experimenting with their hair or skin often forget about the allergies(过敏)they may have to face when using cosmetic(美容的)products. Being fashion-conscious can even make you anxious and depressed if you don’t feel you are dressed up to the mark. Worse still, fashion can do harm to our environment through the procedure and ingredients used to produce fashionable products. Often, animal fur is used in jackets and fur coats. A large number of birds are killed, and experiments are done on animals to check if the products would be allergic to humans.‎ On a concluding note, fashion will not be harmful to our society if we learn to create a balance between our studies and interests. There is no harm in being fashionable, but don’t let it interfere with your way of life and career.‎ Is fashion harmful to society Introduction ‎*Fashion is always changing and affects people from all walks of life.‎ ‎*Fashion ____51____to be promoted via TV ads and by celebrities.‎ ‎*When flowing fashion, many consider comfort important, but we should take occasions Into ______52______, too.‎ Advantages of poor group dynamics ‎*Fashion is a platform where people connect in a(n) ______53______manner.‎ ‎*Fashion is also a platform where people get themselves ____54____.‎ ‎*Fashion makes one learn to think independently and become ___55___.‎ ‎*Fashion provides people with a common topic to discuss, which helps them make friends with each other.‎ ‎___56___of fashion ‎*Fashion ___57___some students from concentrating on their studies.‎ ‎*Using some fashionable products can result in allergies.‎ ‎*Following fashion in an unbalanced manner can result in ___58___and depression.‎ ‎*To produce fashionable products, people kill many birds and experiment ‎ with animals, thus ___59___ the environment.‎ Conclusion ‎*Fashion, if followed in a proper way, will do no harm to society.‎ ‎*We should be fashionable without influencing our life and career _____60_____.‎ ‎【答案】51.

Not only is the amount of water taken from the river rising, but the waste being put back into the river has also been increasing. As a result, a lot of fish and wildlife are endangered. In addition, the drinking water, which hundreds of millions of people rely on the river for, is unsafe now. Therefore, the balance of the ecology has been badly broken.‎ The main reason for the present situation of the Yangtze River is mainly because of the rapid growth of the population, which contributes to the rapid development of agriculture and industry.‎ In order to focus on water conservation and survival of the wildlife, effective laws are needed and more measures should be taken forcefully to prohibit factories and cities along the river from sending out waste and sewage into the river, and only when every one of us takes action, will we be able to win the battle against the pollution.‎ ‎【解析】本文为话题作文。此类试题要求考生根据提供的纲要细心勾勒，周密思考，并充分发挥自己的想象力，组织自己的精巧的语言来表达某种思想。单就本篇文章而言应该体现出以下几点：‎ ‎1.阐述要点： (1) 问题；（2）结果；（3）原因分析；（4）看法与建议。‎ ‎2.写作的过程中应该注意语言的简洁、明了、用语准确。‎ ‎（1）高级词汇及短语：environmental problem, be beneficial to, the balance of the ecology, contribute to, focus on, effective.‎ ‎（2）高级句型：动名词作主语，which引导非限制性定语从句，被动结构。‎ ‎（3）语篇过渡句：as a result，in addition，therefore。‎ ‎3.整个文章时态一般选择一般现在时。写作过程的时候应该尽量使用高级词汇及句型结构，目的在于在高分层次突进。‎ 亮点句子：‎ Not only is the amount of water taken from the river rising, but the waste being put back into the river has also been increasing.这个句子用not only…but also…连接两个分句。‎ In addition, the drinking water, which hundreds of millions of people rely on the river for, is unsafe now.这个句子which引导非限制性定语从句。‎ 点睛：本题考查提纲作文，根据提纲写出要点以及自己观点。属于考查英语综合能力运用，属于较难题。‎
