【解析】空1：问题中有"special"一词，音频中提到攀爬者"whoarealldisabledinsomeways."，故填disabled。
空2：音频中有这样一句"Weregardedthisasachancetoprovethehumanspirit."，故填thehumanspirit。
空3：音频中有这样一句"Weturnedtoeachotherforinspirationaswecontinuedallthewaytothepeak."，意思是他们在攀爬的过程中互相鼓舞。因此将inspiration转化为形容词形式inspiring，故填inspiring。
空4：音频中攀爬者之一提到"Wekeptadiaryofourtravelsonline."，故填adiaryonline或anonlinediary。
四、根据短文内容或单词的正确形式填空
●【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者在超市的停车场把自己找到的车位让给了意为陌生女士，并快乐地帮助了别人，这位女士十分感动，于是将母亲留下的漂亮的金项链赠予了作者。
19.【答案】As或Since或Because；
【解析】考查连词。由于/因为作者心情好，就把自己的车位让给了别人。故填As或Since或Because。
20.【答案】emptied；
【解析】考查时态。本文整体在讲述一个故事，故用一般过去时；empty既是形容词也是动词，故填emptied。
21.【答案】an；
【解析】考查冠词。注意后文为odd，元音发音用an，故填an。
22.【答案】looking；
【解析】考查非谓语动词。looking在此作thesamelady的定语，故填looking。
23.【答案】might；
【解析】考查情态动词。要注意到本句（Thissoundcrazy）sound为原形，那么可能缺情态动词，故填might。
24.【答案】like；
【解析】考查介词。根据句意可知，你很像我妈妈。故填like。
25.【答案】shocked；
【解析】考查非谓语动词。此处非谓语动词作状语，表示我当时很震惊。故填shocked。
26.【答案】thenicest；
【解析】考查形容词最高级。本题需要填形容词最高级，需注意在最高级前面加定冠词the，故填thenicest。
●【分析】本文是一封刊登在报纸上的读者来信。在心中，寄信人抱怨了自己对丈夫迷恋手机、成为“低头族”的烦恼与无奈。
27.【答案】tocheck；
【解析】考查非谓语动词。"hasaconstanturgetodosth."表示她丈夫总有连续不断强烈的欲望想要查手机，故填tocheck。
28.【答案】that；
【解析】考查同位语从句。Hejustcan'tstandtheidea他不能忍受一种想法，that句子到最后是idea的同位语，故填that。
29.【答案】asif或asthough；
【解析】考查连词。根据句意可知，为他表现的好像一点点小打扰就要迫使他再检查一遍手机。故填asif或asthough。
30.【答案】who；
【解析】考查宾语从句。根据语意可知，想看看是谁在联系他的冲动太强烈了。故填who。
31.【答案】ignoring；
【解析】考查非谓语动词。stopdoingsth.停止做某事。故填ignoring。
32.【答案】someone或somebody；
【解析】考查代词。此空所在if从句作see的宾语，从句缺少主语，故填someone或somebody。
33.【答案】isinterrupted或hasbeeninterrupted或isbeinginterrupted；
34.【答案】which；
【解析】考查定语从句。先行词nomophobia无手机恐惧症，which从句表示那些无法忍受手机在身边的人群很可能得这种恐惧症。故填which。
五、选用恰当的单词或短语填空
●【分析】本文是一篇说明文。说明了办公室设计感的重要性。
35.【答案】prospective；
【解析】考查形容词。并列连词or前后词性要一致，由此判断该空需要填一个形容词，且根据意思potential为潜在的意思一同与该形容词修饰customers，在意思上承接得上的是prospective，意思同样为"有可能可以与之成交"的客户。故填prospective。
36.【答案】alternatives；
【解析】考查固定搭配。alternatives与to搭配的意思：除开…外的选择是…。to后面搭配的是thetraditionalworkenvironmentsofthepast，traditional和thepast按时了这是需要被摒弃的内容，符合"排除在外"这个意思。故填alternatives
37.【答案】innovative；
【解析】考查形容词。createdmoreflexible"strategicmanagementenvironments"这个词组暗示了"更好的“解决方案”，所以下文用innovative，“有创意的”可以匹配这个意思。故填innovative。
38.【答案】confirmed；
【解析】考查被动语态。意思是“更具灵活性的需求在现实公共场所里的变化中得到印证”，confirm是“确认”之意，故符合句意。故填confirmed。
39.【答案】assigned；
【解析】考查被动语态。该句意思是办公室和工作区的…都不是永久给到一个人的，只有“分配”这个意思才能还原原句，故用assigned。
40.【答案】separate；
【解析】考查词义。separate是“分开”、分离或隔开”的意思，符合原句意思。故填separate。
41.【答案】access；
【解析】考查固定搭配。accessto表示“可以接触到、能够获得”，原句意思是“设计者要改进哪些员工来往密集的场所比如复印间和咖啡间”，员工与这两个场所是"去到"、"接触到"的关系。故填access。
42.【答案】conflicting；
【解析】考查并列连词。and并列的应该为同样结构的词，即：现在分词式的形容词，并且前后词义属于同一个语义层面，competing为“竞争的”，conflicting为“相互碰撞冲突的”，正好符合原句意思。故填conflicting。
43.【答案】function；
【解析】考查动词不定式。看到不定式符号to，就知道此空应填动词原形，除了access，separate可以作动词原形外，就剩下function，function这个常以名词词性出现的词也有动词词性，后面搭配的andtheirbest，可以先联想一下"doone'sbest"或"tryone'sbest"，这样就不难推理出此空想填的是跟“发挥”、“表现”有点意思类似的词了，而function作动词的词义为“起作用”，故填function。
44.【答案】elements；
六、完形填空
45.【答案】A
【解析】考查副词辨析。A.Instead代替，反而，相反；B.Therefore因此，所以；C.Moreover而且，此外；D.Otherwise否则，另外。根据空格前后的句式结构，可以知道，前面用的是youwouldnotdetect…，后面用的是youwouldsee，使用的动词不同，结构相同。由于前面有not，后面没有，所以可知此处表达为意思相反，故选A。
46.【答案】C
【解析】考查形容词辨析。A.romantic浪漫的；B.stressful有压力的，紧张的；C.central中心的，主要的；D.beneficial有益的。根据"Lifeforancientpeople'searnedtocenteronhuntingandgatheringwildfoodsformeals."及"Inmoderntimes，findingloveismore"可知，古代人的生活似乎在狩猎和采集野生食物为膳食中心。这儿是把古代和现代的情况进行对比，前一句用"center"，后一句用"central中心的，主要的"，故选C。
47.【答案】B
【解析】考查名词辨析。A.priority优先权；B.proof证明，证据；C.possibility可能性；D.principle原则。后两句的意思是：很容易准备一系列的有关爱的现代故事。在当前的流行文化中，无数的故事和电影归类为爱情故事。根据这两句的意思，结合上下文语境可知道本句的意思就是有很多证明的例子，故选proof。
48.【答案】D
【解析】考查动词辨析。A.tested测试；B.imposed强加的；C.changed改变；D.created创造。根据本段的最后一句话"Onethingiscertain:Thetruthaboutloveisnotyetsetinstone.确定了一件事情是：爱的真理还不确定。"可知，科学家研究的是爱是否能够创造，而不应该是测试，改变或者是强加．其中setinstone就像中文里说的"板上钉钉"，表示绝对不变。故选D。
49.【答案】C
【解析】考查名词辨析。A.appearance外貌，外观；B.virtues美德，优点；C.similarities相似点，相似处；D.passions激情，热情。根据划线部分前面的连词but可以判断，前后是转折的意思，而opposites意为相反的，所以答案为相似的。故选C。
50.【答案】C
【解析】考查名词辨析。A.illustrations说明；B.implications含义，暗示；C.ingredients成分；D.intentions意图，目的。根据小标题FirstImpression（第一印象）以及后面所描述的实验方法、内容和结果，可知，实验的目的是决定吸引力的成分。故选C。
51.【答案】A
【解析】考查动词辨析。A.predict预测；B.investigate调查；C.diagnose诊断；D.recall回想起，记起。根据第四段"Afternineweeks，theyreportedwhathappened."可知，九周之后，他们报道发生了什么情况，可以知道这些是还没有发生的事情，也就是预测的东西。predict预测，故选A。
52.【答案】B
【解析】考查形容词辨析。A.critical批评的；B.initial最初的，原始的；C.random随机的；D.mature成熟的。根据上题中预测的东西可知，预测的东西相对而言是原始的，最初的判断。“initial最初的，原始的”，故选B。
53.【答案】B
【解析】考查动词辨析。A.memorize记住，记忆；B.distinguish区分，辨别；C.negotiate谈判，协商；D.question询问，怀疑。根据前一句话的意思“结果证明他们最初的判断是正确的”，该句要表达的意思和前一句相同，也就是说“学生似乎能够在早期区别适合他们的生活人”。故选B。
54.【答案】A
【解析】考查名词辨析。A.Nose鼻子；B.Eye眼睛：C.Heart心，心脏；D.Hand手。根据空格处的词是小标题，是对本段的高度概括，它往往在句首或句末找答案。在本段的最后两句话都提到了一个词smell（嗅觉），四个选项中和嗅觉有关的词只有A，故选A。
55.【答案】A
【解析】考查形容词辨析。A.open开放的；B.警惕的，警觉的；C.resistant抵抗的；D.superior优秀的，出众的。根据前面的搭配"either…or…要么…，要么"，表明此处是一个反义表达。前面使用的是战争，那么后面应该是一种开放，也就是坦诚以对。故选A。
56.【答案】D
【解析】考查形容词辨析。A.disappointed失望的；B.amazed惊讶的；C.confused困惑的，疑惑的；D.gifted有天赋的。根据Incontrast(相反)以及后文“Althoughwemaynotbeawareofchemicals尽管我们没有意识到”并结合上下文语境知道，在这里表达人类没有像动物那么有天赋。故选D。
57.【答案】B
【解析】考查名词辨析。A.emotion情感；B.attractiveness吸引力；individuality个性，个人特征；D.signals信号，动机。根据上一句话最后一个单词attractive，结合上下文知道此处的答案和这个单词attractive是同根重现，所以答案是attractiveness。故选B。
58.【答案】D
【解析】考查动词辨析。A.enhance提高，加强；B.possess持有，拥有；C.maintain维持，继续，维修；D.assess评估。根据该句是本段的总结，前面提到的是研究者做的吸引力实验，最后得出的结论就是我们评估吸引力的方法自动的。这是评估的方法，而不能是拥有，维持，或者是加强。所以答案为assess，故选D。
59.【答案】C
【解析】考查形容词辨析。A.familiar相似的；B.plain平的，简单的，朴素的；C.positive积极的；D.insulting无礼的，侮辱的。据最后一句的表达“Seeingsomethingattractiveseemstocausehappythinking．看一些吸引力的事情似乎能够导致快乐的思考。”不能得出答案的表达应该是一种快乐思考，所以答案为positive积极的。故选C。
七、阅读理解
●【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了雪人的历史。
60.【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段第二句"Atatimeoflimitedmeansofexpression,snowwaslikefreeartsuppliesdroppedfromthesky在那时，表达方式的方法有限，雪就像是来自于上天的一种自由艺术。"，这说明雪的流行是因为它是一种表达的方式，关键词是express，而且means和way同义。故答案选C。
61.【答案】B
【解析】词义理解题。根据黑体字后面的内容"haspassed,don'tworry:I'velearnedthatsomeexplosivesnowmanhistoryisstillbeingmadetoday.已经过去了，不用担心：我了解到一些历史的雪人现在依然在制造。"这表明担心的是现在没有了这样的东西，换句话说就是现在不再流行，所以答案就是B。
62.【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据"celebratethebeginningofspring…．庆祝春天的开始"，可以知道答案应该是冬天的过去，也就是春天的开始。所以答案是C。
63.【答案】A
64.【答案】D
65.【答案】C
【解析】指代判断题。文中说到的Wallace与Gromit联手抓的怪物很明显就是前面所提到的rabbit，故选C。
66.【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。作者之所以力荐这部喜剧片，C段句首"和最后一段中第二句可以得出提示，作者认为这部电影诙谐且充满了英式幽默，故极力向读者推荐。故选A。
●【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要讲述了白宫顾问Adelmans夫妇成功地利用了莎翁剧作进行企业管理培训的故事。
67.【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。第一段中，提到"TheagreementwasthatBrutushadactedwithcrueltywhenotheroptionswereavailabletohim."其实就是"whatalltheexecutivesthoughtofBrutus"的另一种说法，相当于同意替换，所以大家全部赞同Brutus是个残忍的人。故答案选A。
68.【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。Adelmans夫妇设立"MoversandandShakespeares"的目的可以从第二、第三段中找到踪迹，虽然第二段中没有明确说明，但我们发现这样一句"andtheyhavecombinedtheirpassionandtheirhighlevelcontactsintoamanagementtrainingbusiness."最后定位在"managementtrainingbusiness"三个关键词上，我们再从答案中找到类似表达，发现B选顶的表达与原文意思最为接近。这对夫妇设立这个莎翁作品研习机构就是为了向那些企业管理人员提供一些新鲜的视角和方法，从莎翁的文学作品中学到一些企业管理和员工激励等的理论和精髓。故答案选B。
69.【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。通过关键词HenryV，找到第四段，几乎全段都在讨论设立莎翁文学作品研读机构的目的。小说中的亨利五世滥用职权，但研读机构故意忽略了这一点，而更加侧重亨利五世勇于抓住机会并成长为一名杰出领袖的部分。另外，工坊向大家剖析了亨利五世打赢theBattleofAgincourt战役的战略。A选项正是强调了抓住机会（进而成长为领袖）的重要性，为最佳选项；B选项鼓励大师级的领袖们为了成功需提前谋划；C选项阐释了管理中偏见的危害；D选项警告管理者们不要滥用职权，与原文意义恰恰相反。综上所述，故答案选A。
70.【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。A选顶提到的内容在刚才讲亨利五世小说研读机构时提到过（第四段），但语意已经被改的面目全非，说莎翁小说研读机构的项目有失偏颇，因为主人公已经被无限放大，与原文严重不符；B选顶指出机构的企业家学员们对莎翁戏剧中的很多内容感到厌烦，这与原文不符，假若发现厌烦，就没有必要参加此研修班了；C选顶指出如果Adelmans夫妇是专业学者，或许能够赚更多钱，这点原文中没有暗示，可以排除；D选顶提到莎士比亚在管理领域起了重要作用。综上所述，故答案选D。
71.【答案】D
【解析】标题概括题。A．莎翁戏剧让企管人员重新思考企业文化；B．莎翁戏剧是商业成功的关键秘诀，过分夸大了戏剧的作用；C．莎翁戏剧为企业激励上了一课，涵盖面略窄；D．莎翁戏剧：戏剧训练带来戏剧化的结果，dramatic用词巧妙，双关。综合考虑，故答案选D。

77.【答案】Streetartistshavebroughtbrilliantcolourstooldneighbourhoodswiththeircreativity.
【解析】分析句意适合用现在完成时，bring的过去分词是brought；bring···to把···带到···。故翻译为Streetartistshavebroughtbrilliantcolourstooldneighbourhoodswiththeircreativity.
78.【答案】Ifthereissomeoneinyourlifetowhomyouneedtosaysorry,goaheadandmakeanapology.
【解析】主要两个短语saysorrytosb.和makeanapology道歉；需要用到定语从句来修饰人。故翻译为Ifthereissomeoneinyourlifetowhomyouneedtosaysorry,goaheadandmakeanapology.
79.【答案】Whatmakesthegameuniqueisthatithelpschildrenlearnhowtocopewithproblemsinreallife.
【解析】本句需要用what引导的名词性从句做主语，what既起引导作用又在从句中做主语；that引导的名词性从句做表语；copewith应对。故翻译为Whatmakesthegameuniqueisthatithelpschildrenlearnhowtocopewithproblemsinreallife.
80.【答案】Yourapplicationmaterialsshouldbefullypreparedinorderthatyourdreamschoolcanhaveacomprehensiveandaccurateunderstandingofyourability.
