For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.‎ Before age 3, most children lack the necessary skills to lie. Somewhere between the ages of 3 and 8 though, a lot of children become shockingly skillful at telling lies. A group of 3-year-olds ___21___(seat) in a room and told not to peek at a toy placed out of sight while the adult left the room. When they were later asked if they had peeked, only about half of the kids attempted to lie. This was repeated with 7-year-olds, and the majority of the kids avoided telling the truth.‎ At first, it is because they can ___22___ children lie. They reach a point developmentally ___23___ they realize that they can say something that is not true. These lies are not a sign of moral failures in ___24___ the parents or the child.‎ By age 7 or 8, most children lie for two reasons. One is to escape punishment and to remain in your good graces. Children figure out that ___25___ they say they did not do something, they may be able to avoid punishment. Older children are also better than the younger ones at reading human emotion and predicting your reaction. Since most of the children want to make their parents happy, their lies may be a ___26___(misguide) attempt to provide the right answer. The kid who tells you that he did not break the vase, even in the presence of a broken vase, is just telling you what you want to hear. He knows you would be upset about the vase, so he makes up a lie to make you happy.‎ Ironically, kids of strict parents are actually more likely to lie than ___27___ from a more laid-back home. A child who knows that he gets spanked for doing wrong may feel motivated to lie more often and he may become more skilled at it, because ‎ he knows ___28___(catch) will lead to punishment.‎ When it comes to telling the truth, when a child matures and ages you will see the lies become ___29___(frequent). This is a result of more mature kids learning responsibility and being accountable ____30____ their actions. If your youngster is telling lies, don’t panic. He will most likely grow out of this stage with the help of his parents setting the right moral values. The experiment in this article was performed by parents and children.‎ ‎【答案】21. were seated ‎ ‎22. that 23. where ‎ ‎24. either 25. when / if ‎ ‎26. misguided ‎ ‎27. those 28. being caught ‎ ‎29. less frequent ‎ ‎30. for ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了3岁到8岁大的孩子很擅长说谎，但是长大后就不那么能说谎了。‎ ‎【21题详解】‎ 考查动词时态语态。句意：一群3岁大的孩子坐在一个房间里，被告知在大人离开房间时不要偷看放在视线之外的玩具。be seated表示“坐下”，“left”表明用一般过去时，主语是A group of 3-year-olds，谓语动词用复数，故填were seated。‎ ‎【22题详解】‎ 考查强调句型。句意：起初，孩子们撒谎是因为他们会撒谎。此处为强调句型，其基本结构为it is+被强调部分+that+其余部分，此处强调的是原因状语because they can，故填that。‎ ‎【23题详解】‎ 考查定语从句。句意：他们发展到这样一个阶段，他们意识到他们可以说一些不真实的东西。此处定语从句，先行词为a point，表示“……阶段”，定语从句中缺少地点状语，故填where。‎ ‎【24题详解】‎ 考查代词。句意：这些谎言并不是父母或孩子道德失败的标志。either…or…表示“或者、二选一的”，故填either。‎ ‎【25题详解】‎ 考查条件/时间状语从句。句意：孩子们发现，如果/当他们说他们没有做什么，他们可能可以避免惩罚。此处表示“如果”，也可以表示“当……的时候”，故填when / if。‎ ‎【26题详解】‎ 考查形容词。句意：由于大多数孩子想让他们父母高兴，他们的谎言可能是提供正确答案的错误尝试。修饰名词attempt 用形容词，misguided表示“被误导的、误入歧途的”，故填misguided。‎ ‎【27题详解】‎ 考查代词。句意：来自父母严厉的家庭的孩子比那些来自父母管得不那么严的家庭的孩子更容易撒谎。此处与前面的kids一致用复数，表示“那些（孩子）”，故填those。‎ ‎【28题详解】‎ 考查非谓语动词。句意：因为他知道被抓住会受到惩罚。作主语用动名词，he与catch之间是被动关系，所以用动名词的被动式作主语，故填being caught。‎ ‎【29题详解】‎ 考查形容词比较级。句意：说到说实话，当一个孩子长大成人，你会发现说谎变得不那么频繁了。此处有一个隐晦的比较意义，是长大后和小时候的对比，应该用形容词比较级，表示“不那么频繁、次数更少”，故填less frequent。‎ ‎【30题详解】‎ 考查介词。句意：这是更成熟的孩子学习责任和对自己的行为负责的结果。be accountable for表示“对……负责”，故填for。‎ ‎【点睛】注意在模糊地点先行词后由关系副词where引导定语从句，当先行词是case，degree，situation，point，stage，job，position，activity，age，system，race，conditions，scene，spot，family等，表示某人或某物所处的情况或发展的阶段，并且关系词在定语从句中作地点状语时，一般用关系副词where引导定语从句，如：Sales director is a position where communication ability is just as important as sales skills. 销售总监是一个沟通能力和销售技巧同样重要的职位。‎ Section B (10%)‎ Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

It also establishes strong ___34___ between the real detective’s cases and plot lines used by Doyle. The author, Angela Buckley, has even established that Caminada’s casework involved ___35___ an alluring (迷人的) and talented criminal, similar to Irene Adler, and that the detective even had a Moriarty-like nemesis who plagued him over the course of several cases until a final, dramatic confrontation. Mrs. Buckley said, “Caminada became a national figure at just the time that Sherlock Holmes was being created. There are so many parallels that it is clear Doyle was using parts of this real ___36___ for his.”‎ The son of an Italian father and Irish mother, Caminada was based in Manchester, but was involved in cases which took him across the country, and he enjoyed a nationwide profile in the press, where ___37___ of his exploits were widely reported. Most of his career was spent with Manchester City Police Force although he later ___38___, like Holmes, as a “consulting detective”. As the fictional character relied on a network of underworld contacts — the Baker Street Irregulars — so Caminada was known ‎ for his extensive web of ___39___, whom he would often meet in the back pew of a church. These characters helped him build up an encyclopedic knowledge of the criminal fraternity, among whom he would often move in disguise—another tactic in common with Holmes. Like his fictional counterpart, Caminada was noted for his tendency to wander the streets of the roughest neighborhoods alone at night, ____40____ intervening in any crimes he encountered.‎ ‎【答案】31.

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)‎ Communication technologies are far from equal when it comes to conveying the truth. The first study to compare honesty across a range of communication media has found that people are twice as likely to tell lies in phone conversations as they are in emails. The fact that emails are automatically recorded — and can come back to haunt (困扰) you — appears to be the key to the finding.‎ Jeff Hancock of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, asked 80 students to keep a communication diary for a week. In it they noted the number of conversations or email exchanges they had lasting more than 10 minutes, and confessed to how many lies they told. Hancock then worked out the number of lies per conversation for each medium. He found that lies made up 14 per cent of emails, 21 per cent of instant messages, 27 per cent of face-to-face interactions and an astonishing 37 per cent: of phone calls.‎ His results to be presented at the conference on human-computer interaction in Vienna, Austria, in April, have surprised psychologists. Some expected emailers to be the biggest liars, reasoning that because deception makes people uncomfortable, the detachment (非直接接触) of emailing would make it easier to lie. Others expected people to lie more in face-to-face exchanges because we are most practiced at that form of communication.‎ But Hancock says it is also crucial whether a conversation is being recorded and could be reread, and whether it occurs in real time. People appear to be afraid to lie when they know the communication could later be used to hold them to account, he says. This is why fewer lies appear in email than on the phone.‎ People are also more likely to lie in real time—in an instant message or phone call, say— than if they have time to think of a response, says Hancock. He found many lies are spontaneous (脱口而出的) responses to an unexpected demand, such as: “Do you like my dress?”‎ Hancock hopes his research will help companies work out the best ways for their employees to communicate. For instance, the phone might be the best medium for sales where employees are encouraged to stretch the truth. But, given his result, work assessment where honesty is a priority, might be best done using email.‎ ‎56. What does the phrase “to stretch the truth” in the last paragraph mean?‎ A. to tell the truth B. to understate something C. to overestimate something D. to deceive people ‎57. Why are people more honest when using email?‎ A. Because it takes more time to think than to speak.‎ B. Because lies in emails may do harm to their credit.‎ C. Because of the detachment of emailing.‎ D. Because they are practiced to be more honest in emailing.‎ ‎58. Which of the following is contrary to people’s common beliefs?‎ A. Emails contain more lies than other communication media.‎ B. Face-to-face communication contains more lies.‎ C. Face-to-face communication contains more lies because it is not recorded.‎ D. Deception makes people uncomfortable, which reduces mistakes in phone calls.‎ ‎59. What is Hancocks’ tips for communication?‎ A. Honesty is always the best policy.‎ B. Employees should choose suitable media for different communication purposes.‎ C. If honesty is important, employees should choose face-to-face talk.‎ D. Employees should be honest with their clients, their bosses and their rivals.‎ ‎【答案】56. C 57. B 58. C 59. B ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一项针对多种传播媒介的诚实度进行比较的研究发现人们在使用不同传播媒介时的诚实度也不同。‎ ‎【56题详解】‎ 词句猜测题。上文的研究表明人们打电话时更容易说谎，而电话销售人员推销自己的产品时会竭尽全力鼓吹自己的产品是如何好，所以电话可以作为销售的最好媒介是因为打电话时，雇员们有勇气夸大其词，由此可知画线短语的意思是“鼓吹、夸大”，故C项正确。‎ ‎【57题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“People appear to be afraid to lie when they know the communication could later be used to hold them to account, he says. This is why fewer lies appear in email than on the phone.”可知，人们害怕在电子邮件中说谎是因为他们知道这些信息日后可能会被用来让他们承担责任，由此可知，人们在使用电子邮件时更诚实是因为电子邮件中的谎言可能会损害他们的信用，故B项正确。‎ ‎【58题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段中的He found that lies made up 14 per cent of emails, 21 per cent of instant messages, 27 per cent of face-to-face interactions and an astonishing 37 per cent: of phone calls.可知，撒谎最多的是电话，而不是面对面的交流，所以C项（面对面的交流包含更多的谎言，因为它没有被记录下来）与人们的普遍观点相反，故C项正确。‎ ‎【59题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Hancock hopes his research will help companies work out the best ways for their employees to ‎ communicate.”可知，汉考克希望他的研究能帮助公司找出员工沟通的最佳方式，再结合后面的例子可知，汉考克的建议是员工应根据不同的目的选择合适的通讯媒介，故B项正确。‎ ‎【点睛】本篇第1题的难度较大，抓住研究的结果是关键，根据上文的研究结果可知，人们打电话时更容易说谎，而电话销售人员为了卖出产品会在电话中竭尽全力鼓吹自己的产品是如何好，所以电话可以作为销售的最好媒介是因为打电话时，雇员们有勇气夸大其词，由此可知画线短语的意思是“夸大”。‎ ‎(B)‎ After walking miles of expo hall carpeting, watching countless live demos, and sitting through God knows how many press announcements, we’re ready to declare these ten products to be the best things we saw at CES (国际消费电子展) 2017. Of all the amazing and beautiful gadgets on display here in Las Vegas, these are the products which exhibit the strong sense of innovation and vision within their categories. They achieve this through exquisite industrial design, innovative engineering, and simply seeing the future and realizing it in a product you can touch and hold. The following are three of the ten.‎ CES is full of toys that promise to turn your kid into a coding wiz (编码奇才). The issue? Not all of them are fun to play with. This week Lego introduced Boost, a new kit that lets kids bring their existing bricks to life with three different modules. You can program Lego to walk, roll, flash, and make noise via an app that uses drag and drop code. Kids probably won’t notice they’re building logic skills when they program their hot (自动程序；网上机器人) to shoot a dart at their sister when she walks by, and that’s the point. It’s a sneaky way to get kids to learn, which is exactly why they’ll love it.‎ The Hub robot is adorable, but LG’s animated voice assistant also provides a clear peak at the future of in-home interfaces. These devices run Alexa, but they do more than your average Echo. A screen on the front doesn’t just surface visual info like weather forecast, it provides personality: blinking eyes patiently await your commands. Ask for your favorite tunes, and the little robot busts a move as it ‎ plays them. You can customize the wake word to anything you’d like, and the big and mini versions of the robots have the exact same features. The only difference is the size of the screen and the power of their built-in speakers.‎ Good speakers are furniture. They add to a room’s decor, and they begged to be touched. The cylindrical Beoplay M5 is a wireless speaker that fits those criteria—its wool covering is soft and gorgeous, and it’s topped by an aluminum disc that functions as a satisfyingly tactile volume knob. The sound is excellent, with impressive volume and gobs of bass. Audio streams in over Bluetooth. AirPlay, or Spotify, and it has Chromecast built in, so you can command the jams by talking to your Google Home. It’s not a portable speaker (it plugs into the wall and has no battery) but is made for multi-room setups—-group a few M5s together, or pair them with other Beoplay multi-room speakers like the A6 and A9.‎ ‎60. Which of the following describes the common traits of these products?‎ A. They represent the edge-cutting industrial design.‎ B. They are all for entertainment and recreation.‎ C. They are targeted at young people.‎ D. They are available on the market now.‎ ‎61. What does the writer mean by saying “Good speakers are furniture”?‎ A. Because they fit well in criteria.‎ B. Because they plug into the wall without battery and make up for multi-room setups.‎ C. Because they fit in with the decoration of the room and feel comfortable.‎ D. Because they have excellent sound, impressive volume and gobs of bass.‎ ‎62. Which of the following is NOT true?‎ A. It is painstaking to select the top ten gadgets among so many ingenious inventions.‎ B. Beoplay M5 features wonderful looking, excellent sound quality and portability.‎ C. The screen on the Hub robot provides visible information and personality.‎ D. The new Lego kit Boost motivates kids to learn programming without their realization.‎ ‎【答案】60. A 61. C 62. B ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇应用文，介绍了2017年国际消费电子展的三个出色的产品。‎ ‎【60题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“They achieve this through exquisite industrial design, innovative engineering, and simply seeing the future and realizing it in a product you can touch and hold.”可知，这些产品体现了精湛的工业设计、创新意识以及高瞻性，也就是说它们代表了尖端的工业设计，故A项正确。‎ ‎【61题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“They add to a room’s decor, and they begged to be touched.”可知，它们既为房间增添了装饰，摸起来又很舒服，由此可知作者说“好的扬声器是家具”的意思是它们不但与房间的装饰很协调，而且感觉很舒服，故C项正确。‎ ‎【62题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“It’s not a portable speaker ”可知，Beoplay M5不是便携式扬声器，故B项正确。‎ ‎(C)‎ Until recently, the University of Kent prided itself on its friendly image. Not any more. Over the past few months it has been working hard, with the help of media consultants, to downplay its cozy reputation in favor of something more academic and serious.‎ Kent is not alone in considering an image revamp (翻新). Changes to next year’s funding regime (制度) are both forcing universities to justify charging students up to 9,000 in fees.‎ Nowadays, universities putting much more of a focus on their brands and what their value propositions are. While in the past universities have often focused on students’ social life and attractions of the university town in recruitment campaigns, they are now concentrating on more tangible attractions, such as employment prospects, engagement with industry, and lecturer contact hours, making clear exactly what students are going to get for their money.‎ The problem for universities is that if those benefits fail to materialize students notice. That worries Rob Behrens, chief executive of the Office of the Independent Adjudicator (OIA), which deals with student complaints. “Universities need to be extremely careful that they describe the reality of what’s going to happen to students,” he says. “Because competition is going to get greater for attracting students, there is a danger that universities will go the extra mile.”‎ One university told prospective engineering students they would be able to design a car and race it at Brands Hatch, which never happened, he says. “If universities spent as much money on handling complaints and appeals appropriately as they spend on marketing, they would do better at keeping students, and in the National Student Survey returns,” he says.‎ Ongoing research by Heist tracking prospective 2012 students suggests that they are not only becoming more sophisticated in thinking about what they want from a university, but are also spending more time researching evidence to back up institutional claims.‎ Hence the growing importance of the student survey and league tables. From next September, all institutions will also be expected to publish on their websites key information sets, allowing easier comparison between institutions—and between promises and reality—of student satisfaction levels, course information, and the types of jobs and salaries graduates go on to.‎ As a result, it is hardly surprising that universities are beginning to change the way they market themselves. While the best form of marketing for institutions is to be good at what they do, they also need to be clear about how they are different from others.‎ And it is vital that once an institution claims to be particularly good at something, it must live up to it. The moment you position yourself, you become exposed because you have played your joker, and if you fail in that you are in trouble.‎ ‎63. What are universities putting their focus on to attract students?‎ A. A friendly reputation. B. Student funding.‎ C. Students’ social life D. Practical benefits.‎ ‎64. According to Behrens, which of the following may NOT be the consequences if students’ complaints are not dealt well with?‎ A. Universities may not be able to attract prospective students.‎ B. Students will become more sophisticated.‎ C. It will do harm to the reputation of the universities.‎ D. Universities may not be able to keep students.‎ ‎65. Rob Behrens suggests universities do in marketing themselves EXCEPT ________.‎ A. make high promises to attract students B. establish their own strengths C. show graduates career perspective D. show their feature courses ‎66. What does the underlined word “joker” refer to?‎ A. A person who are good at communication.‎ B. A thing that cannot be predicted.‎ C. The best thing that people cannot afford to lose.‎ D. A card that can be matched to any card.‎ ‎【答案】63. D 64. B 65. A 66. C ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如今大学在吸引学生方面的工作重心以及在如何处理学生的抱怨方面和营销策略的建议。‎ ‎【63题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“they are now concentrating on more tangible attractions, such as employment prospects, engagement with industry, and lecturer contact hours, making clear exactly what students are going to get for their money.”可知，大学现在专注于更有形的吸引力，比如就业前景，与行业的接触，以及与讲师的接触时间等等，由此可知，大学在吸引学生方面的重点是实际利益，故D项正确。‎ ‎【64题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三、四段内容可知，如果学生的抱怨得不到妥善处理会影响大学的声誉、让大学留不住学生以及不能吸引潜在的学生；再根据第五段中的“Ongoing research by Heist tracking prospective 2012 students suggests that they are not only becoming more ‎ sophisticated in thinking about what they want from a university”可知，正在进行的一项跟踪2012年学生的研究表明，学生们在思考自己想从大学得到什么方面变得更加成熟，这是研究表明的结果而不是学生的抱怨得不到妥善处理的后果，故B项正确。‎ ‎【65题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“and the types of jobs and salaries graduates go on to”可知，大学要向学生们展示就业前景；根据倒数第二段中的“they also need to be clear about how they are different from others.”可知，大学要向学生们展示自己的特色学科；根据最后一段中的“And it is vital that once an institution claims to be particularly good at something, it must live up to it.”可知，大学要建立起自己的优势，而没有提到通过做出高承诺来营销，故选A项。‎ ‎【66题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“And it is vital that once an institution claims to be particularly good at something, it must live up to it.”可知，至关重要的是，一旦一家机构声称自己在某方面特别擅长，它就必须做到这一点，一旦你给自己做出了定位，你就不能失去你赖以生存的特长，否则你就会陷入麻烦，由此可知，画线词指的就是丢不起的东西（不能失去的好东西），故C项正确。‎ Section C (8%)‎ Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.‎ Singapore is a small, flat, marshy island that has been developed to become the most important port and business center in Southeast Asia and one of the ten wealthiest countries in the world in terms of gross national product per capita.‎ Singapore has a population of 3.5 million people and a high density of more than 500 people per square kilometer. The superior infrastructure—especially the excellent port and international airport—has made Singapore the import and transshipment center for the region. ___67___ These functions are complemented by ‎ a large variety of maritime service activities, including banking, insurance, communications, and consulting.‎ Singapore has diversified its service sector to include a wider range of financial, communications, and management activities and has attracted the regional headquarters of many multinational corporations. ___68___ This diversification, as well as high consumption levels in the domestic market, allowed Singapore to cope with the 1983 oil crisis and 1997 Asian financial crisis somewhat more easily than did other countries in the region.‎ Singapore has a population of diverse ethnicity and religion, but it is dominated (77 percent) by overseas Chinese, descendants of immigrants who moved to Singapore in the colonial period and followed the religions of Buddhism and Taoism. Other groups include Malays (about 15 percent) and Indians (about 7 percent, mainly Hindu). ___69___ The promotion is especially among the highly educated in order to reduce labor shortages and ensure a workforce to support the older population. Colonial Singapore was residentially segregated, with the British living next to the government buildings on the east shore of the Singapore River, Chinatown on the west riverbank, and Indian and Malay neighborhoods farther toward the east.‎ The government has made serious attempts to foster harmony between ethnic groups and to create a sense of national identity by designating four official languages (Mandarin Chinese, English, Malay, and Indian Tamil). ___70___ They also enforce Singapore’s image of a clean and crime-free environment through very strict rules against litter and graffiti, media censorship, and licensing of satellite dishes and street entertainers.‎ A. And tourism has also become a significant industry.‎ B. Singapore is more a city of tourism than one characterized by heavy industry.‎ C. It is one of the world’s largest oil refining centers, where crude oil is unloaded and refined before shipment to the rest of Asia.‎ D. They promote an Asian identity through schools and national military service that emphasize hard work, community consensus, and respect for authority.‎ E. The city is now characterized by dozens of tall office buildings, housing complexes,‎ ‎ new towns and new industrial parks.‎ F. Fertility rates are low in Singapore, and the government has tried to promote more births.‎ ‎【答案】67. C 68. A ‎ ‎69. F 70. D ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文，介绍了新加坡的地理位置、人口、产业及社会制度等。‎ ‎67题详解】‎ 根据空前的“The superior infrastructure—especially the excellent port and international airport—has made Singapore the import and transshipment center for the region.”可知，优越的基础设施，特别是优良的港口和国际机场，使新加坡成为该地区的进口和转运中心，此处承接上文，讲的是良好的运输条件的结果，故C项（它是世界上最大的炼油中心之一，在这里，原油在运往亚洲其他地区之前被卸载和精炼）符合语境。‎ ‎【68题详解】‎ 根据空前的“Singapore has diversified its service sector to include a wider range of financial, communications, and management activities and has attracted the regional headquarters of many multinational corporations.”及空后的“This diversification”可知，本段主要介绍的是新加坡的产业的多样化，前面提到了金融和通讯产业，此处应该还会提到一个产业，故A项（旅游业也成为一个重要的产业）符合语境。‎ ‎【69题详解】‎ 根据空后的“The promotion is especially among the highly educated in order to reduce labor shortages and ensure a workforce to support the older population.”可知，为了减少劳动力短缺，确保劳动力支持老年人口，这一举措在受过高等教育的人群中尤为流行，此处讲的应该是人口方面的内容，故F项（新加坡的生育率很低，政府也在努力促进生育）符合语境。‎ ‎【70题详解】‎ 根据空后的“They also enforce Singapore’s image of a clean and crime-free environment through very strict rules against litter and graffiti, media censorship, and licensing of satellite dishes and street ‎ entertainers.”可知，他们还通过非常严格的规定，禁止乱扔垃圾和涂鸦，对媒体进行审查，对卫星天线和街头艺人发放牌照，来强化新加坡干净、没有犯罪的环境形象，此处应该还会提到新加坡的一种社会制度，故D项（他们通过学校和兵役制度来促进亚洲人的身份认同，强调努力工作、社区共识和对权威的尊重）符合语境。‎ IV. Summary Writing (10%)‎ ‎71.Direction: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main file of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.‎ Declining mental function is often seen as a problem of old age, but certain aspects of brain function actually begin their decline in young adulthood, a new study suggests.‎ The study, which followed more than 2,000 healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 60, found that certain mental functions—including measures of abstract reasoning, mental speed and puzzle-solving—started to dull as early as age 27. Dips in memory, meanwhile, generally became apparent around age 37.‎ On the other hand, indicators of a person’s accumulated knowledge—like performance on tests of vocabulary and general knowledge—kept improving with age, according to the findings published in the journal Neurobiology of Aging. The results do not mean that young adults need to start worrying about their memories. Most people’s minds function at a high level even in their later years, according to researcher Timothy Salthouse.‎ ‎“These patterns suggest that some types of mental flexibility decrease relatively early in adulthood, but that the amount of knowledge one has, and the effectiveness of integrating it with one’s abilities, may increase throughout all of adulthood if there are no diseases,” Salthouse said in a news release.‎ The study included healthy, educated adults who took standard tests of memory, reasoning and perception at the outset and at some point over the next seven years. The tests are designed to detect subtle (细微的) changes in mental function, and involve solving puzzles, recalling words and details from stories, and identifying patterns in collections of letters and symbols. In general, Salthouse and his colleagues found, certain aspects of cognition (认知能力) generally started to decline in the late 20s to 30s. The findings shed light on normal age-related changes ‎ in mental function, which could aid in understanding the process of dementia (痴呆), according to the researchers.‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【答案】Brain function may start declining in early adulthood, but knowledge accumulation will make up for the loss of certain mental capacities. The study was carried out over seven years by asking healthy, educated young adults to take standard tests about different aspects of cognition. The findings may help understand the process of dementia.‎ ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本篇书面表达是概要写作，注意词数要求和使用自己的语言。‎ ‎【详解】概要写作是概括文章要点。‎ 第一步，要读懂文章大意；‎ 第二步，抓住主题句或关键信息，忽略次要信息。结合文章，根据第一段中的“but certain aspects of brain function actually begin their decline in young adulthood”可知，大脑功能的某些方面实际上在成年早期就开始衰退，再根据第三段中的“indicators of a person’s accumulated knowledge—like performance on tests of vocabulary and general knowledge—kept improving with age”及“The results do not mean that young adults need to start worrying about their memories.”可知，一个人知识积累随着年龄的增长而不断提高，这意味着年轻人不必担心他们的记忆力，概括为：大脑功能可能在成年早期开始衰退，但知识的积累将弥补某些心智能力的丧失（Brain function may start declining in early adulthood, but knowledge accumulation will make up for the loss of certain mental capacities.）；根据最后一段中的“The study included healthy, educated adults who took standard tests of memory, reasoning and perception at the outset and at some point over the next seven years.”可知，这项研究包括健康、受过教育的成年人，他们在研究开始时以及未来7年的某个时候接受了记忆、推理和感知方面的标准测试，要点为：这项研究历时7年，要求健康、受过教育的年轻人参加有关认知不同方面的标准测试（The study was ‎ carried out over seven years by asking healthy, educated young adults to take standard tests about different aspects of cognition.）；根据最后一段中的“The findings shed light on normal age-related changes in mental function, which could aid in understanding the process of dementia”可知，研究结果揭示了与年龄有关的正常心理功能变化，这有助于理解痴呆症的发病过程，要点为：这些发现可能有助于理解痴呆症的过程（the findings may help understand the process of dementia.）。‎ 第三步，灵活运用语言，对关键信息进行改编。‎ 第四部，添加有效连接成分，使概要结构紧凑。‎ V.

This kind of group dancing spreads so quickly that it has already got itself a name, “square dancing” or “plaza dancing”.‎ Undoubtedly, the so-called “square dancing” is gaining popularity for good reasons. First of all, it helps enhance people’s physical and mental well-being by daily exercising and social reaction. More importantly, due to its low cost and ease of participation, anyone willing to step into the group can be fully engaged. Actually, it is quite a view with all the cheerfulness in the air. ‎ However, when square dancers are absorbed in moves and rhythms, complaints arise. Boys are complaining about dancers’ occupying their basketball courts. Students doing homework hate the constant distraction and interruption caused by the noisy music. Some even urge the government to take measures to ban square dancing.‎ As far as I am concerned, communication and understanding of both parties are required. The department concerned could advise square dancers to keep the volume to such a low volume as not to disturb the residents nearby. They may also leave the Public facilities to other people at a proper time. Young people nearby may as well be considerate because it is quite possible that group dancing is your grandmother and her friends’ only form of recreation. Only through mutual understanding and raised awareness, can people of different generations live in a perfect harmony.‎ ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本篇书面表达是开放性作文，要求对一个现象发表自己的看法。‎ ‎【详解】第1‎ 步：根据提示可知，本文要求对一个现象发表自己的看法：近年来,广场舞作为一种中老年人强身健体的方式越来越流行,但是其扰民问题也引发了热议。假如你是上海市某高中的学生李华，你班最近就“你对广场舞的态度与看法”为话题展开讨论，请用英语写一篇短文，发表在校英文报上。时态应为一般现在时。‎ 第2步：根据写作要求，确定关键词（组），如；square dancing（广场舞），neighborhood（附近），retired（退休的），undoubtedly（毫无疑问）， cheerfulness（愉快），rhythm（节奏），well-being（幸福），disturb(打扰)及considerate（考虑周到的）等。‎ 第3步：根据提示及关键词（组）进行遣词造句，注意主谓一致和时态问题。‎ 第4步：连句成文，注意使用恰当的连词进行句子之间的衔接与过渡，书写一定要规范清晰，保持卷面的整洁美观。‎ 本文内容完整，层次分明，结构紧凑，表达准确。另外全文中没有中国式英语的句式，显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。‎ ‎【点睛】范文语言地道，语篇连贯，词数适当。作者在范文中使用了较多高级词汇和句式，高级词汇有a variety of（各种各样的），due to（由于），step into (进入)，complain about（抱怨……），in high spirits（兴高采烈），as far as I am concerned（就我个人而言），be absorbed in(专心于)以及urge sb to do（敦促/强烈要求某人做某事），而且还使用了主语从句“it is very likely that you will see one after another group of middle-aged or retired women dancing to a variety of music, often in high spirits.”，状语从句“This kind of group dancing spreads so quickly that it has already got itself a name, “square dancing” or “plaza dancing”.”及“Young people nearby may as well be considerate because it is quite possible that group dancing is your grandmother and her friends’ only form of recreation.”，倒装句“Only through mutual understanding and raised awareness, can people of different generations live in a perfect harmony.”，全文没有语法错误，上下句转换自然流畅。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎
