One thing, however, is certain: the competition for places at New York’ chools ____9____(drive), in part, by a lack of faith in the quality of education in other parts of the system. Also, it is seen as a conflict between different social groups fighting for a system in which their children are ___10___(likely) to be restricted by discrimination.‎ ‎【答案】1. that ‎ ‎2. suggesting ‎ ‎3. to 4. which ‎ ‎5. would disadvantage ‎ ‎6. because 7. how ‎ ‎8. to be rated ‎ ‎9. is driven ‎ ‎10. the least likely ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍对于纽约市的学校来说，本学年遇到的一个特殊的改革问题。‎ ‎【1题详解】‎ 考查同位语从句。句意：市长比尔·德布拉西奥(Bill de Blasio)宣布，他打算取消该市八所精英高中的考试要求。此处名词intention后面是该名词的具体内容，是that引导的同位语从句，故填that。‎ ‎【2题详解】‎ 考查现在分词作后置定语。句意：上个月底，该咨询小组发布了一份报告，建议纽约市重新思考其识别和教育优秀儿童的整个方法。此处report和suggest之间是一种主动关系，是现在分词作后置定语，故填suggesting。‎ ‎【3题详解】‎ 考查介词。句意：上个月底，该咨询小组发布了一份报告，建议纽约市重新思考其识别和教育优秀儿童的整个方法。固定搭配：the approach to---，“------的方法”。故填to。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 考查定语从句。句意：更准确地说，它建议用新的举措取代那些天赋异禀的项目，这些举措可以在不依赖考试或学术追踪的情况下挑战早产儿。此处initiatives是先行词，指物，代入后面的定语从句中作主语，所以由which引导，故填which。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 考查过去将来时态。句意：然而，亚裔美国家长担心这项提议的改变会对他们的孩子不利，于是提起诉讼阻止这项改变。此处指从过去看将要发生的事情，所以用过去将来时态，故填would disadvantage。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 考查原因状语从句。句意：考试之所以具有巨大的吸引力，是因为它是中性的，与学生的背景和财富无关。此处表示原因，是because引导的原因状语从句，故填because。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 考查表语从句。句意：但这不是当前系统的运作方式。此处是表语从句，意思是“如何”，故填how。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 考查动词不定式作宾语。句意：例如，亚裔美国学生在大学录取评估中最主观的部分往往得分较低。固定搭配：tend to do sth.“倾向于做某事”。此处句子主语students和rate之间是一种被动关系，故填to be rated。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 考查一般现在时态的被动语态。句意：纽约学校的入学竞争部分是由于对教育系统其他部分的教育质量缺乏信心。句子主语competition，是单数第三人称，和谓语动词drive之间是一种被动关系，且此处指一种客观事实，所以句子用一般现在时态的被动语态，故填is driven。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 考查形容词最高级。句意：这被看作是不同社会群体之间的冲突，他们在为一个他们的孩子最不可能受到歧视的制度而斗争。此处形容词likely应该用最高级，故填the least likely。‎ ‎【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点：第一、找准先行词；第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词，如本题第4小题中先行词为名词initiatives，再分析先行词initiatives在定语从句中所作的成分，将先行词initiatives带到从句中可知，只能作主语，故确定关系词which。‎ Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.‎ ‎(A)‎ I had a teacher who used to wake up in class by shouting: “The early bird gets the worm!” I say “let him have the worm”. I hate food that doesn’t stay still, and avoid Japanese restaurants for that very reason. Anyway, I stopped eating worms at the age of three, switching to regular breakfasts of cereal(谷物), to which I would add extra sugar.‎ Recently I was thinking about early birds and the competitive spirit after receiving a letter from a reader in Malaysia: ”My son deliberately throws away marks because he doesn’t like to be top of the class. What shall I do?” Give him a round of “applause” for being smart! Actually many children in Asia tend to be the focus by performing better.‎ Placed into a very competitive class when I was 11, I quickly learned the ideal position was second to last. The top three performers and the very last person are highlighted; the second-to-last contestant is INVISIBLE. And it’s an easy position to get—just deliberately underperform at every test. I could do that. I once came ‎ second to last in eight straight sports day races. No one suspected anything. I was so invisible that I could have robbed a bank in my street and no one would have noticed.‎ At the London Olympics a few months ago, badminton pairs from three Asian countries deliberately tried to lost matches to draw good lots in later rounds. It was funny to watch, but they were all thrown out for poor sportsmanship. What they really needed were acting lessons, their moves were so unconvincing. “Oops, I hit the ball in entirely the wrong direction.”‎ The other day, I took the children out and they raced for the car. “I’m first,” said one. The second said: “First is worst, second is best.” Together they sang at the last one: “And third’s the one with a hairy chest.”‎ It struck me that the organizers of sports matches could use this song when people deliberately lost matches. “I lost,” the delighted loser will say. The judges could still declare them winners, pointing to a new, optional regulation: “First is worst, second is best, third’s the one with a hairy chest.”‎ ‎36. Why did the author dislike Japanese restaurant?‎ A. Its food was served raw. B. Its food contained worms.‎ C. He was tempted by cereal. D. He was affected by the saying.‎ ‎37. How did the author manage to be invisible in a competitive class?‎ A. He highlighted the top three students.‎ B. He came to second in sports races.‎ C. He hid himself in a bank skillfully.‎ D. He intentionally underperformed.‎ ‎38. What can be learned from the passage?‎ A. The judge is encouraged to eliminate the dishonest players.‎ B. Players disqualified from Olympic doubles for using drugs.‎ C. Children’s song praises the dramatic acting skills of athletes.‎ D. players purposefully failed for easier lots in the following rounds.‎ ‎39. Which saying might the author possibly support?‎ A. Great minds think alike. B. God favors those who are prepared.‎ C. Honesty is the best policy. D. A bird in hand is worth two in the ‎ bush ‎【答案】36. A 37. D 38. D 39. C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是一篇议论文。文章通过举例论证告诉人们“诚实乃上策”。‎ ‎【36题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段中I hate food that doesn’t stay still, and avoid Japanese restaurants for that very reason.“我讨厌不安静的食物，因此我不去日本餐馆。”可知，作者不喜欢日本餐馆是因为它的食物是生的。故选A。‎ ‎【37题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段中And it’s an easy position to get—just deliberately underperform at every test.“这是一个很容易得到的位置——只是故意在每次测试中表现不佳。”可知，作者通过故意表现不佳设法在竞争激烈的班级里不引人注目。故选D。‎ ‎【38题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第四段中At the London Olympics a few months ago, badminton pairs from three Asian countries deliberately tried to lost matches to draw good lots in later rounds.“几个月前的伦敦奥运会上，来自三个亚洲国家的羽毛球选手故意输掉比赛，以便在接下来的比赛中取得好成绩。”可知，在接下来的几轮游戏中，玩家故意在更容易的游戏中失败。故选D。‎ ‎【39题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段It struck me that the organizers of sports matches could use this song when people deliberately lost matches. “I lost,” the delighted loser will say. The judges could still declare them winners, pointing to a new, optional regulation: “First is worst, second is best, third’s the one with a hairy chest.”“我突然想到，当人们故意输掉比赛时，体育比赛的组织者可以用这首歌。“我输了，”兴高采烈的失败者会说。评委们仍然可以宣布他们是赢家，并指出一项新的可选规则:第一名是最差的，第二名是最好的，第三名是心胸开阔的。”可知，作者可能支持“诚实乃上策”。故选C。‎ ‎【点睛】推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的推理判断，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含infer,suggest,imply,conclude indicate等标志性词语。 这种题型主要包括细节判断题、态度观点推断题、写作意图推断题、文章出处判断题和猜测想象推断题。本题第3小题，根据第四段中At the London Olympics a few months ago, badminton pairs from three Asian countries deliberately tried to lost matches to draw good lots in later rounds.“几个月前的伦敦奥运会上，来自三个亚洲国家的羽毛球选手故意输掉比赛，以便在接下来的比赛中取得好成绩。”可知，在接下来的几轮游戏中，玩家故意在更容易的游戏中失败。故选D。‎ ‎(B)‎ Shot in more than 40 locations in L.A., the musical La La Land is “a love letter to the city”. To coincide with UK release, we asked a local writer to pick some of the film’s amazing settings.‎ Judge Harry Pregerson Interchange La La Land’s opening scene is a six-minute dance that plays out in L.A.’s bad traffic. It is also where the film’s leading roles, struggling actress Mia and jazz pianist Sebastian, first encounter each other—in a road anger incident. The scene is said to have been filmed over two hot days in south L.A.‎ Smokehouse Restaurant, Burbank This is the setting for the scene in which Mia discovers Sebastian’s talent for the piano. The fictional Lipton’s restaurant---where jazz purist Sebastian was reluctant to play Christmas music---is in reality a place long frequented by actors, producers and other show business types. It has been on this spot, across the street from the Warner Bros studio, since 1949.

Sir Alexander Fleming did not, as legend would have it, look at the mold (霉) on a piece of cheese and get the idea for penicillin there and then. He experimented with antibacterial substances for nine years before he made his discovery. Inventions and innovations almost always come out of tough trial and error. Innovation is like soccer; even the best players miss the goal and have their shots blocked much more frequently than they score.‎ The point is that the players who score most are the ones who take most shots at the goal—and so it goes with innovation in any field of activity. The prime difference between innovation and others is one of approach. Everybody gets ideas, but innovators work consciously on theirs, and they follow them through until they prove practicable or otherwise. What ordinary people see as fanciful abstractions, professional innovators see as solid possibilities.‎ ‎“Creative thinking may mean simply the realization that there’s no particular goodness in doing things the way they have always been done.” Wrote Rudolph Flesch,‎ ‎ a language authority. This accounts for our reaction to seemingly simple innovations like plastic garbage bags and suitcases on wheels that make life more convenient: “How come nobody thought of that before?”‎ The creative approach begins with the proposal that nothing be as it appears. Innovators will not accept that there is only one way to do anything. Faced with getting from A to B, the average person will automatically set out on the best-known and apparently simplest route. The innovator will search for alternate courses, which may prove easier in the long run and are sure to be more interesting and challenging even if they lead to dead ends. Highly creative individuals really do march to a different drummer.‎ ‎43. What does the author probably mean by “untaught mind” in the first paragraph?‎ A. An individual who often comes up with new ideas by accident.‎ B. A person who has had no education.‎ C. A citizen of a society that restricts personal creativity.‎ D. A person ignorant of the hard work involved in experimentation.‎ ‎44. According to the author, what differs innovators from non-innovators?‎ A. The way they present their findings. B. The way they deal with problems.‎ C. The intelligence they possess. D. The variety of ideas they have.‎ ‎45. The phrase “march to a different drummer” (the last line of the passage) suggests that highly creative individuals are ________.‎ A. unwilling to follow common ways of doing things B. diligent in pursuing their goals C. concerned about the advance of society D. devoted to the progress of science ‎46. The most suitable title for this passage might be ________.‎ A. The Relation Between Creation and Diligence B. To Be a Creative Expert in the Study of Human Creativity C.

Highly creative individuals really do march to a different drummer.可知，短语“march to a different drummer”(这是文章的最后一行)表明极具创造力的人不愿意遵循通常的做事方式。故选A。‎ ‎【46题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据第一段中Inventions and innovations almost always come out of tough trial and error. Innovation is like soccer; even the best players miss the goal and have their shots blocked much more frequently than they score.和第四段最后一句Highly creative individuals really do march to a different drummer.可知，这篇文章最适合的题目可能是“创造力的个体有什么特别之处”，故选C。‎ Section C Directions: Read the following passage.

And the more versatile phones become, the more reasons young people have for looking at them. ___47___ Instead of publishing whole book at once, they produce very short chapters, which they send once a week to their readers by text message. Some even claim that this style of writing represents a new literary genre: the ‘cell phone novel’.‎ Although the idea originated in Japan, cell phone novels have also sprung up in the rest of East Asia, Europe and Africa. Many are written by high school or university students who are very familiar with the topics that teenagers are interested in. Common themes are love, tragedy and betrayal, and the stories often deal with difficult or controversial issues. Twenty-one-year-old Rin said that she started her novel If You during her final year at high school and explained that was the tragic love story of two childhood friends.‎ Rin wrote her novel over a six-month period in spare moments, often while commuting on the train. _____48_____Readers then voted her novel the best that year and she was offered book contract. Her book sold 40,000 copies and was number five in the Japanese bestseller list. Rin said that her mother had had no idea that she had been writing a novel and was therefore very surprised when she saw a book with her daughter’s name on it.‎ The style of cell phone novels has evolved to suit the medium. Chapters have no more than 200 words, and often just 50-100 words. _____49_____ The text mostly consists of dialogue and the language is direct, conveying a lot in a few words. Many cell phone novelists had never written fiction before and many of their readers have never read normal novel. Other rules have evolved; for example, authors only have one name and that is a pseudonym or pen name.‎ In 2009, a young Japanese writer called Takatsu, who lives in Canada, began writing the first English language cell phone novel, Secondhand Memories. Each instalment appeared on textnovel.com, a website dedicated to cell phone stories. Takatsu had ‎ read an English translation of Rin’s story If You and had been impressed by its simple and emotional language. It was a feature he deliberately copied when he started writing Secondhand Memories. _____50_____ He now believes that, in English, cell phone novels have a powerful and poetic identity of their own. Takatsu sees himself, and the other writers who contribute to textnovel.com, as part of a literary movement which blends drama, technology, pop culture and social media. Cell phone novels encourage young people to engage in fiction, even those who would not normally pick up a book. They could be described as teen novels for the 21st century.‎ A. Books are sometimes regarded as old-fashioned and difficult to read.‎ B. In response to this trend, some smart young authors have changed the way they write.‎ C. However, as the story progressed, the style gradually evolved into something different.‎ D. She typed out installments on her phone and uploaded them onto a popular website for cell phone authors.‎ E. No money is made from cell phone novels unless they are published as books.‎ F. Sentences are short and there are no descriptions of anything or anybody because there isn’t space.‎ ‎【答案】47. B 48. D ‎ ‎49. F 50.

Summary Writing ‎51.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as fa as possible.‎ Loneliness Peaks For years America has been talking about obesity, but a new study points to a more serious health issue: isolation and loneliness.‎ Being connected to others socially is widely considered a fundamental human need --- crucial to both well-being and survival. Extreme examples show infants who lack human contact in care fail to grow and often die. Indeed, social isolation has been used as a form of punishment. According to Julianne Holt-Lunstad, the lead author of the study, an increasing portion of the U.S. population now population now experiences isolation regularly. Over 42 million adults above age 45 in the U.S. are estimated to be suffering from chronic(长期的)loneliness.‎ The study of 340 adults between the ages of 27 and 101 living in San Diego identified three key age ranges when people felt the loneliest. Participants who had the highest levels of loneliness were in their late-20s, mid-50s and late-80s. While it may come as a surprise that people in their late-20s suffered from loneliness, a larger survey shows they actually may suffer the hardest.‎ With an increasing number of people working from home, watching television, getting into an addiction to electronic devices, it has become too easy to be alone, even if that’s not a person’s intention. Modern day conveniences like having anything we want delivered make it possible to never need to leave the house. So, not surprisingly, those with frequent social contact usually feel less lonely than those with few social ties.‎ Mounting evidence suggests social isolation and loneliness significantly impact our health, and even shorten our lives, just like obesity. This study isn’t the first time loneliness has been flagged as an emerging health issue. Therefore, reducing both isolation and loneliness is important for quality of life and well-being.‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【答案】Socializing with people is believed to be the key to happiness, but more people are suffering from loneliness/isolation.
