第一节单项填空
参考译文
我不知道为什么英国的酒吧让我感到失望，毕竟酒吧是英国男性最喜欢的聚会场所，在那里，他们可以和朋友聚会，一起喝啤酒、讨论足球或者赛马，亦或者谈生意或者任何他们脑子里想的事情。请注意酒吧是英国男性喜欢的聚会场所而不是英国女性。即使在今天这个自由的时代，女性单独去酒吧也不是一件值得人尊重的行为，必须有个男性陪同并且保护她才好。或许这也是酒吧让我觉得失望的部分原因：它们主要是为男性的喜好而设的。这一点相当的狭隘。我认为这种男性主导的氛围只会让我想起以前在学校的经历，或者是部队里的经历。两个都是我不想再次体验的。
但是我肯定属于少数派。大多数英国人居住的附近都有酒吧，他们可以在那里摆脱来自家庭生活或者工作的压力，如果幸运的话，还可以向酒吧里漂亮的服务员倾诉烦心事。其实很多人男性都梦想辞去朝九晚五的工作，盘下一间小的乡村酒吧，他们设想自己可以在那儿一个星期连续开七天的派对。当他们想到凌晨一点要清理酒吧里到处泼洒的啤酒时，这种梦想就破灭了。
不过，每个男人都能找到自己喜欢的酒吧;每个酒吧也都有自己的客户群。而且我必须承认，对于一个不怎么喜欢酒吧的人来说，我也去过各种各样不少的酒吧。
26.A【精析】本题考查短语词义辨析。afterall毕竟，说到底;inaddition加之，另外;asaresult结果;forexample例如。此句是说，无论如何，酒吧都是应该男性喜欢去的地方，但是不知怎么回事，我却很失望，根据前后句的语气，A符合题意。27.A【精析】本题考查形容词词义辨析。favorite最喜欢的;proper恰当的;formal正式的;exclusive独一无二的。根据文意，酒吧应该是男性最喜欢去的地方，故选A。
28.B【精析】本题考查介词词义辨析。此句意思为男性可以边喝啤酒边喝朋友聊天，over可以表示“边…边…”，例如：Whydon'twetalkaboutitoveracupofcoffee.即我们边喝咖啡边聊天吧。所以选B。
29.C【精析】本题考查动词词义辨析。form形成;influence影响;occupy占据;trouble惹麻烦。根据句子意思，男性在酒吧里可以谈论足球，赛马或者任何想到的事情，故选C。
30.D【精析】本题考查形容词词义辨析。lawful合法的;meaningful有意义的;impressive印象深刻的;respectable值得尊敬的。根据原文意思，D选项最符合题意。
31.A【精析】本题考查动词词义辨析。accompany陪同;comfort安慰;encourage鼓励;support支持。此处是说女性单独去酒吧不太体面，需要有人陪同，故选A。
32.D【精析】本题考查上下文语义的衔接。此处是说女性得有男性陪同时去酒吧才比较合适，因此作者不怎么喜欢酒吧，根据前后句的语气关系，D选项最符合题意。
33.C【精析】本题考查动词词义辨析。force强迫;enable使…有能力;intend计划，目的;claim声称;beintendedto表示以…为目的，故选择C。
34.A【精析】本题考查形容词词义辨析。此处是说，酒吧主要是为男性而设计的，没有考虑女性，因此目的比较狭隘。narrow狭隘的;noble高贵的;practical实用的;personal个人的。故选A。
35.D【精析】本题考查副词词义辨析。also也;hence因此;yet还;only只。此处是说，酒吧以男性为服务对象，对女性不公平;不好的结果就是让我想起以前的各种经历，故选择D。
36.B【精析】本题考查名词词义辨析。existence存在;experience经历,兴趣incident事件。在学校或者军队，是一种经历，故选择B。
37.C【精析】本题考查上下文语义的衔接。naturally自然而然地;normally正常地;obviously显而易见地;oddly奇怪地。此处是说我觉得酒吧令人失望，但是每个英国人家附近都会有一家酒吧，而且大家都爱酒吧，所以大部分人都觉得酒吧很好;对比之下，我明显属于少数觉得酒吧不令人满意的人，故选C。
38.C【精析】本题考查上下文意义推理和词义辨析。男性到酒吧里应该是逃避工作和家庭带来的压力。need需求;objective目标;pressure压力;requirement要求，故选C。
39.D【精析】本题考查形容词词义辨析。这里是说男性到酒吧里逃避压力带来的烦恼，有时候可以和漂亮的女服务聊天，属于比较幸运的事情;所以比较四个选项，只有D选项合适，故选D。
40.B【精析】本题考查连词词义辨析。still仍然;indeed事实上;thus因此;nevertheless然而。根据上下文的语气indeed最符合原文意思，故选择B。
41.B【精析】本题考查前后语义连贯。此处是说很多男性梦想辞掉无聊的工作，自己开酒吧，成为派对的主人odecorate表示装修;buy表示购买;design表示设计;visit表示拜访，故选B。
42.A【精析】本题考查名词词义辨析。host主人;member成员;servant仆人;sponsor赞助者。根据题意，应该是应该男性梦想成为派对的主人，故选A。
43.D【精析】本题考查名词词义辨析。辞掉工作自己开酒吧，一个星期举办七次派对活动，对于大部分男性来说，不是一件切合实际的事情，只能是一种梦想。hobby嗜好;project项目;habit习惯;dream梦想，故选D。
44.D【精析】本题考查动词词义辨析。recognize辨认出;remember记得;believe相信;admit承认。根据上下文推理，作者应该是承认尽管自己不喜欢酒吧，但是去的次数也很多，故选D。
第三部分阅读理解
加州大学洛杉矶分校医疗中心的研究人员发现，带着狗过去拜访心脏病患者12分钟可以降低病人百分之二十四的焦虑感，相比之下，人单独来看望病人可以降低病人百分之十的焦虑感;没有探访者的病人的焦虑感不会降低。
对76名病人进行的研究结果在上周德克萨斯州达拉斯市举办的美国心脏协会年度会议上展示出来。这项研究由宠物信托基金会赞助，此基金会为非盈利性组织，其宗旨是促进人类与动物的互动，加强两者之间的联系。此研究将带着狗一起去看望病人的效果与仅有人去探病的效果以及没有探访者自己休息的病人康复结果相对比。监控病人的心理压力并且在探访者来之前和离开之后询问病人一些问题，评估病人的焦虑感程度。尽管临界的压力值也有所降低，表明心脏功能有所改善，但是最突出的反应是焦虑水平的变化。
“最先注意到的是病人的表情变成了笑脸，他们的压力似乎都得以释放。”研究人员KathyCole说道，“心脏病患者很容易出现沮丧和绝望感，只要在医院住三个晚上就足以让病人感到焦虑不安。在拜访当中，这些毛茸茸的朋友可以躺在病人旁边，头离病人的头只有两英尺远。大部分的病人会拍拍宠物狗的头，有些病人会和探访者一起谈论宠物狗。”研究中用的狗是经过特殊训练的协助治疗的狗，他们都经过一系列的训练、评估和认证以认定他们具备成为辅助治疗狗的资格。狗的种类各不相同。研究人员使用了各种各样的狗，包括伯尔尼山地狗和小髯狗。但是，狗不需要经过特殊训练也可以给人类带来平静。事实上，狗以外的其他动物也可以对病人有帮助作用。“只要那个动物对病人有意义，或者和病人有一定的关系，都可以让病人心安。”Cole这样说。
46.A【精析】细节题。题干意为：“从文中可以得知，心脏病患者从以下哪个当中获益”从第一段中“…withadog..,anxietylevelsby24percentinaheart…”可以得知，带着狗一起看病人，会使病人的焦虑感降低24%，因此带着宠物看病人对患者最有好处，故选A。
47.B【精析】推理题。题干意为：“研究表明，对于心脏病患者来说。”从第一段内容“…withadog...anxietylevelsby24percentinaheart…”来看带着狗一起看病人，会使病人的焦虑感降低24%，因此和动物的接触对心脏病人有好处，故选B。
48.B【精析】推理题。题干意为：“根据Cole的说法，病人表情的变化说明哪一点”前两段详细陈述了带着狗去看病人的好处，第三段第一句就提到病人表情的变化，可以推断，在与动物接触之后，病人的心理压力变小，故选B。
从很多角度来看，KatsuraOkiyama是一个典型的二十多岁的日本女性。她喜欢和朋友一起而且喜欢迪士尼乐园。但是，与众不同的地方是，她是一名作家。而且更特别的是，她的写作工具是手机。
尽管她以前习惯于每天写大概100条短信，但她从未想过用拇指打字让她有机会成为作家。“我从未写过小说”，她说：“我从未想过真正的小说应该是什么样的，可能这也是我成功的原因吧。"
“手机小说在日本被那些渴望被倾听的年轻一代日本人创造并消费。”娱乐顾问JohnPossman这样说：“它是真正的流行文化，已经成为了一项大产业，使得销量已经连续十年下降的出版行业不得不作出调整。”
但是，个体的声音很难被听到。媒体认为手机小说的语言简单并且充满了表情图像——代表不同的态度和情感的符号。对话和描述过于稀少，小说的主题总是爱情。典型的情节就是女主角失去初恋，后来努力的重新获得一份爱情。
“这些故事通常用第一人称描述并且缺乏多样性。”Possman这样认为。但是这一点对于读者来说并不是一个问题。“你为什么不写本感动我的小说呢”一名愤怒的女学生在网上贴出这样的信息，这是她对激烈反对手机小说的人的一个回应。目前为止，日本的文学界还没有给出答案。
太多人害怕失败。我们很多人都因为怕失败而不敢尝试新事物，总是告诉自己我们不擅长这些新事物。有些人把自己的目标仅仅局限在自己擅长做的事情上。还有一些人尝试一下新事物，如果失败的话，就认定自己不适合这条路。这真是一种不幸。从很多优秀科学家的观点来看，失败没有什么可怕的。他们认为失败不仅仅是不可避免的而且是一个不可或缺的盟友。诺贝尔化学奖获得者JohnPolanyi说：“在实验室里失败是一件好事。如果你实验的每个东西都是成功的，那就说明你在打安全牌;你没有去冒险。失败说明你在学习。问一个科学家有没有失败过就像是问艺术家有没有画草图一样。答案是‘无数次’，这就是成功的代价。”
失败不是成功的反面而更像是成功的组成部分。在好莱坞每年都会有数千个新的电视节目的创意被推出，但是只有秀的一部分才有机会被搬上荧屏，更不用说在第一季中成功的生存下来了。在现实生活中，在尝试新事物时失败的次数要高于成功的次数。
NinaSpencer是一名励志演讲家和GettingPassionoutofYourProfession的作者。她喜欢提醒听众，每当我们尝试新技能的时候，都会经历四个阶段。“开始是你不了解这个技能;因为不了解，所以不擅长。最后你会了解这个技能，但是没有能力去做。接下来，只要你认真思考，你就可以运用这个技能。最后，由于实践次数很多，做起来也变得容易了。”诀窍就在于：在第二阶段时不要放弃。
总而言之，成功的种子总是在失败的土壤中茁壮成长。正如现代汽车电子点火系统的发明者和200项专利持有者CharlesKettering曾经所说的：“失败，反复的失败，是成功路上的指示牌—一每一次失败都是向成功的一次靠近。"
57.B【精析】推理题。题干意为：“好莱坞的例子说明要成功，你应该一”此处以好莱坞为例，每年在好莱坞都会有几千个节目创意，但是只有一小部分能够被搬上荧屏，说明大部分的创意都会失败，因此想取得成功，失败是必不可少的，故选B。
59.B【精析】细节题。题干意为：“根据NinaSpencer所说可知：获得的新技能的关键在于”按照Nina的观点，尝试新事物的时候要分四个阶段，“thesecretisnottogiveupatstagetwo.”最重要的秘诀就是在第二阶段的时候不能放弃;故选B。

SandySimonson:
你所描述的学生有积极的态度;他们愿意靠自己努力学习。因此他们付出的努力会有良好的成效。但是我的儿子却难以做到这点。他们看父母读书，听父母读书。我们鼓励并且赞扬他们付出的真实努力。但是最关键的是，我儿子会满足于尽可能的少去努力，直到他们内心有热情和动力。
父母应该这样做，以便让孩子成为更好的学生：关掉电视;在房间里摆满书。玩耍，阅读，旅行然后再和孩子一起多读书。如果阅读成为他们在家最主要的娱乐方式，孩子们会爱上书。看到他们自己在看书，我感到开心。关掉电视是我们做过的一件事。
DeBorahCurtin:，
你的报告让我们对小天才们的生活有所了解，但是没有人把这些孩子变成优秀学生。很明显，他们任何一个人都可以完成任何任务;每一个人都可以单独和一箱子书呆在一起然后自学。不过，你确实让我更加相信我的理念：大部分的老师只能向天生的尖子生传达信息。当然了，也有一些优秀的老师，不过他们也无法克服我们体制的缺陷。
我不认为学生的成功取决于分数。我刚刚完成我第二部长度适中的舞台剧剧本，并且将会在我的高中演出。我也在哈姆雷特当中扮演一个角色。除了这些很棒的成绩，我的考试分数真的很差。我把更多的注意力放在兴趣上而不是学校，通过这样做，我其实已经在取得一定的成功。所以，分数不代表一切。
61.D【精析】主旨题。CharlesSwecker认为“…parentswhoencouragelearningathome...havekids...ahigherlevelinclass.”可以得知，鼓励孩子学习的家长，会把孩子变成一个更好的学生;故选D。62.G【精析】主旨题。SandySimonson以自己的孩子为例“…untilsomethingfiresthemupfromwithin...aslittleaspossible.”说明如果孩子没有内在学习的动力和热情，就会在学习方面偷懒，不愿意付出努力，故选G。
63.B【精析】主旨题。BridgetBoyle的建议是“turnoffthetelevision，filleveryroomwithBooks把电视关掉j每个房间里都摆满书”，经常陪孩子一起读书，因此他提倡让孩子养成读书的习惯;故选B。
65.A【精析】主旨题。AlanHolman认为自己虽然考试分数很差，但是自己会写剧本而且会演戏，因此分数并没有那么重要;而且“marksaren'teverything.”分数并非代表一切，故选A。
