1.[标准答案][D]as well as[考点分析]本题考察逻辑关系
[选项分析]因为考察逻辑关系，所以需要我们先对填空前后的原文信息做定位分析：文章身处大环境not only…..but also之中，这是一个明显的并列关系，表示“不仅……而且……”该空与前一句“his parents and his friends”也是并列关系，表示“与他本人以及伴侣的父母朋友相关”所以答案只能是D.as well as.
A.by way of通过B.with regard to关于C.on behalf of代表
2.[标准答案][A]decide on[考点分析]上下文语义
[选项分析]根据该句的主语a young man与宾语a likely spouse的关系，答案只能是A.decide on决定。表示自己决定自己的对象。B.provide for为……提供准备C.compete with与……竞争D.adapt to适用
3.[标准答案]<B>arrange
[考点分析]上下文语义及动词辨析
[选项分析]该句意思为，他可以自己选择自己中意的伴侣并让父母相关事务。四个选项中，A.close关闭C renew更新；恢复D postpone“推迟”，语义不正确，只有B arrange安排是符合语境
4.[标准答案][A]In theory[考点分析]上下文语义
[选项分析]逻辑判断题。主要是看前后两句的含义，前面是说“他可以自己选择自己中意的伴侣并让父母安排相关事务，或者几乎不参与，完全让父母选择自己的对象。”空格后面说“女方可以拒绝她父母所选择的对象。”这两句之间没有举例说明的关系，且有一个may，更证明A.In theory的正确性。而其他选项B.Above all最重要的是，C.In time准时D.For example举例，均不符合题意。
5.[标准答案][C]After
[考点分析]上下文语义
[选项分析]根据下文“a spouse has been selected,each family investigates the other……”知道，只有对象选择好后，父母才会去调查研究对方的背景。所以只有after才对。其他选项A.Unless除非，否则B.Lest以免，唯恐D.Although尽管都不符合题意。
6．[标准答案][A]into
[考点分析]上下文语义及介词词义辨析
[选项分析]这里主要是看marry与相关介词的固定搭配。这里marry into就是指嫁到，而其他选项均没有这层含义。
7.[标准答案][C]but
[考点分析]逻辑关系题
[选项分析]根据上文，说传统的婚礼时间跨度很长，但是到了1980s,婚礼只持续一天半。所以与前文发生转变。因此要选择but转折关系。
8.[标准答案][C]recite
[考点分析]上下文语义及动词词义辨析
[选项分析]空格处需要填一个动词，和后面的prayers of blessing所搭配，C选项recite为背诵的意思，与所给短语搭配最为合理，译为“为祈祷者做祈福”。
9.[标准答案][D]tying
[考点分析]上下文语义及动词词义辨析
[选项分析]本题需要根据上下文语义分析，空格处需要搭配后文“棉花线头”，纵观四个选项[A]
折叠
<B>堆积[C]包裹[D]系上，根据选项含义，只有D和后文的“棉花线头”搭配最为合理。
10．[标准答案][A]passing
[考点分析]上下文语义及动词词义辨析
[选项分析]本题根据选项[A]传递<B>点亮[C]隐藏[D]服务，原文空格需要填写一个动词与后文“around a circle”来搭配，译为“将蜡烛传一圈”，故[A]传递为正确选项。
11．[标准答案][D]union
[考点分析]名词词义辨析
[选项分析]本题根据选项[A]协会，社团<B>会议，会面[C]集合[D]结合。本句语义为“这些受尊敬的夫妻祈祷…”根据语境，结婚是一种夫妻二人的结合，因此，选项[D]结合更符合语境。
12.[标准答案][D]live
[考点分析]上下文语义及动词词义辨析
[选项分析]本题比较简单。根据语义“根据传统，新婚夫妇要搬到妻子父母家，与父母一年”根据语境，应为[D]居住为最佳答案。
13．[标准答案]<B>until
[考点分析]时间逻辑关系
[选项分析]根据原文，“他们在附近建造一栋新房子”[A]然而<B>直到[C]为[D]如果结合语境，<B>直到最符合原文语境，搭配最为合理。
14．[标准答案][D]obtain
[考点分析]上下文语义及动词词义辨析
[选项分析]Divorce is legal and relatively easy to 14,but not common.该句句意为离婚是合法的，且相对容易.A.avoid避免B.follow跟随C.chanllenge挑战，质疑D.obtain获得。这里出现and,所以对于离婚这件事不可能是避免或是挑战，但是跟随和离婚之间语义不符，但是获得离婚（的批准）是可以的。选D.
[标准答案][D]viewed
[考点分析]上下文语义及动词词义辨析
[选项分析]Divorced persons are 15 with some disapproval.离婚的人…一些不赞同。在段首，已经注明离婚是合法的且相对容易得到批准，但是不常见。这说明离婚在现实中肯定是不太受到人们的欢迎的。而接下来这句就说离婚的人…一些不赞同。再看选项：A.isolated孤立B.persuaded劝说C.viewed看做D.exposed接触，受到…的影响C选项固定搭配被认为，放进。
[标准答案]<B>whatever[考点分析]语法
[选项分析Each spouse retains 16 property he or she 17 into the marriage,17个空对应
的都是动词，所以该句意思为：夫妇双方保有…财产，这个财产是他或她…(动词)进婚姻的。结合选项A whenever“无论何地；任何（地方）=any place where(定从)”。B whatever“无论什么；任何（东西）
=anything that/any+N that”。C whenever无论何时；任何（时间=any time when）D however无
论如何；无论多么。根据语义，这里应该不是让步的关系,而且填的这个词还要能修饰property。因此，选择B=retains any property that he or she….
[标准答案]<B>brought
[考点分析]上下文语义及动词义辨析
[选项分析]Each spouse retains 16 property he or she 17 into the marriage,结合选项A changed“改变”。B brought“带来”。C shaped“形成”D pushed“推，逼迫”。结合语境只有B符合，把财产带入婚姻。
[标准答案]<B>divided
[考点分析]上下文语义及动词义辨析
[选项分析]…and jointly-acquired property is 18 equally.结合选项A invested投资.<B>divided平分[C]donated捐赠[D]withdrawn撤出，提取。根据语义应该是共同财产被（夫妻双方）平分。
[标准答案][C]shows
[考点分析]动词固定搭配
[选项分析]Divorced persons may remarry,but a gender prejudice 19 up.该句语义为离过婚的人或许会再婚，但是性别偏见…。结合选项A.warm（up）加热B.clear(up)变晴C.show(up)显现D.break（up）分裂，分开；，显然C是正确选项。
[标准答案][A]while
[选项分析]上下文语义
[考点分析]很明显的两类人的对比比较关系。只能选择while.
【试题翻译】在柬埔寨，伴侣的选择对于年轻男性来说是一个复杂的问题。这不仅与他本人以及未来伴侣的父母朋友相关，而且与媒婆也有着千丝万缕的关系。他可以自己选择自己中意的伴侣并让父母安排相关事务，或者几乎不参与，完全让父母选择自己的对象。理论上来说，女方可以拒绝她父母所选择的对象。在选好自己的对象后，每个家庭都能会去调查对方家庭来确保他们的孩子嫁到好人家。
传统的婚礼是一段漫长，多姿多彩的过程。从前会持续三天，但是到了20世纪80年代，一般会持续一天半。佛教徒通常会做简短诵经，并为新人祈福。仪式通常包括剪发，在新郎新娘的胳膊上系上浸满圣水的棉绳，在幸福的、受人尊敬的夫妇中传递蜡烛来祈祷新人的结合。通常情况下，新婚夫妇会到妻子父母家里住一年，直到他们在附近建一栋新房子为止。
离婚是合法的，而且很容易获得批准，但是在实际中这种情况并不常见。离过婚的男女会受到一些
人的诟病。夫妇双方在离婚后可保有他或她婚前带来的财产，而且可平分婚后共同取得的财产。离过婚的人或许会再婚，但是性别偏见还是很明显。比如，离过婚的男性再婚前不需要一段等待期而女性则需要等待十个月。

1France，which prides itself as the global innovator of fashion,has decided its fashion industry has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty for women.Its lawmakers gave
preliminary approval last week to a law that would make it a crime to employ ultra-thin models
on runways.The parliament also agreed to ban websites that“incite excessive thinness”by promoting extreme dieting.
2Such measures have a couple of uplifting motives.They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health.That’s a start.And the ban on ultra-thin models seems to go beyond protecting models from starving themselves to death–as some have done.It tells the fashion industry that it must take responsibility for the signal it sends
women,especially teenage girls,about the social tape-measure they must use to determine their individual worth.
3 The bans,if fully enforced,would suggest to women(and many men)that they should not
let others be arbiters of their beauty.And perhaps faintly,they hint that people should look to intangible qualities like character and intellect rather than dieting their way to size zero or wasp-waist physiques.
4The French measures,however,rely too much on severe punishment to change a culture that still regards beauty as skin-deep-and bone-showing.Under the law,using a fashion model that does not meet a government-defined index of body mass could result in a$85,000 fine and six months in prison.
5The fashion industry knows it has an inherent problem in focusing on material adornment and idealized body types.In Denmark,the United States,and a few other countries,it is trying to set voluntary standards for models and fashion images that rely more on peer pressure for enforcement.
6In contrast to France’s actions,Denmark’s fashion industry agreed last month on rules and sanctions regarding the age,health,and other characteristics of models.The newly revised Danish Fashion Ethical Charter clearly states:”We are aware of and take responsibility for the impact the fashion industry has on body ideals,especially on young people”.The charter’s main tool of enforcement is to deny access for designers and modeling agencies to Copenhagen Fashion Week(CFW),which is run by the Danish Fashion Institute.But in general it relies on a name-and-shame method of compliance.
7Relying on ethical persuasion rather than law to address the misuse of body ideals may be the best step.Even better would be to help elevate notions of beauty beyond the material standards of a particular industry.
According to the first paragraph，what would happen in France?
【A】Physical beauty would be redefined.
【B】New runways would be constructed.
【C】Websites about dieting would thrive.
【D】The fashion industry would decline.
The phrase“impinging on”(Line 2，Para.2)is closest in meaning to
【A】heightening the value of
【B】indicating the state of
【C】losing faith in
【D】doing harm to
Which of the following is true of the fashion industry？
【A】The French measures have already failed.
【B】New standards are being set in Denmark.
【C】Models are no longer under peer pressure.
【D】Its inherent problems are getting worse.
A designer is most likely to be rejected by CFW for
【A】pursuing perfect physical conditions
【B】caring too much about model’s character.
【C】showing little concern for health factors
【D】setting a high age threshold for models.
Which of the following may be the best title of the text?
【A】A Challenge to the Fashion Industry’s Body Ideals
【B】A Dilemma for the Starving models in France
【C】Just Another Round of Struggle for Beauty
【D】The Great Threats to the Fashion Industry 21答案A Physical beauty would be redefined
解析：这是一道细节题，根据France定位到第一段第一句，主干成分为France has lost an
absolute right to define physical beauty。此外第二段第二句They suggest beauty should not be define by looks…故而A physical beauty would be redefined为同义替换，即为正确答案。
答案D doing harm to
解析：此题为词义题。定位到第二段第二句They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health.根据end up可以看出beauty should not be defined by looks和that end up impinging on health为顺承关系，所以“改变人们对美不仅仅是外表的定义”可以结束对健康的危害。故而可以推知doing harm to是正确答案。
答案B New Standards are being set in Denmark
解析：此题是正误判断题。根据第五段第二句话In Denmark,…it is trying to set voluntary standards for models and fashion…可知B选项New standards are being set in Denmark是其同义替换。
答案C showing little concern for health factors
解析：细节题。一个设计师很可能因为什么原因被CFW拒绝，根据关键词可回到文中定位至倒数第二段，首句说丹麦的时尚界就有关模特的年龄，健康及其他特性的内容达成一致意见，切一项新法案也明确规定，他们已经意识到时尚界对于人们尤其是年轻人的身体健康所带来的影响，并且该对此负责，接着下一句就说，这一法规的执行方式就是拒绝一些设计师，因为可以推断设计师很可能因为不考虑身体健康因素而被CFW拒绝。
答案D A challenge to the Fashion Industry’s Body Ideals
解析：主旨题。本文从首段就开始阐述法国的观点，即时尚界已经失去了定义女性身体之美的权利，且议会也禁止网站通过宣传过度节食来强调过度消瘦。二段继续说明美丽不能只看外表更不能以牺牲健康为代价。三段说女性不该让他人来评判自己的美丽。以及后面的段落中也一直在不断说明一点，即健康很重要，不能只看外表。所以文章最佳标题应该是D，对时尚界完美身材的质疑。

1 For the first time in history more people live in towns than in the country.In Britain this has had a curious result.While polls show Britons rate”the countryside”alongside the royal family,Shakespeare and the National Health Serivce(NHS)as what makes them proudest of their country,this has limited political support.
A century ago Octavia Hill Launched the National Trust not to rescue stylish houses but to save“the beauty of natural places for everyone forever”.It was specifically to provide city dwellers with spaces for leisure where they could experience“a refreshing air.”Hill’s pressure later led to creation of national parks and green belts.They don’t make countryside any more，and every year concrete consumes more of it.It needs constant guardianship.
At the next election none of the big parties seem likely to endorse this sentiment.The conservatives’planning reform explicitly gives rural development priority over conservation，even authorising“off-plan”building where local people might object.The concept of
sustainable development has been defined as profitable.Labour likewise wants to discontinue local planning where councils oppose development.The Liberal Democrats are silent.Only Ukip,sensing its chance,has sided with those pleading for a more considered approach to using green land.Its Campaign to Protect Rural England struck terror into many local conservative parties.
The sensible place to build new houses，factories and offices is where people are，in cities and towns where infrastructure is in place.The London agents Stirling Ackroyd recently
identified enough sites for half a million houses in the London area alone，with no intrusion on green belt.What is true of London is even truer of the provinces.
The idea that”housing crisis”equals“concreted meadows”is pure lobby talk.The
issue is not the need for more houses but,as always，where to put them.Under lobby pressure，George Osborne favours rural new-build against urban renovation and renewal.He favours out-of-town shopping sites against high streets.This is not a free market but a biased one.Rural towns and villages have grown and will always grow.They do so best where building sticks to their edges and respects their character.We do not ruin urban conservation areas.Why ruin rural ones?
Development should be planned,not let rip.After the Netherlands,Britain is Europe’s most crowed country.Half a century of town and country planning has enabled it to retain an enviable rural coherence,while still permitting low-density urban living.There is no doubt of the alternative---the corrupted landscapes of southern Portugal,Spain or Ireland.Avoiding this rather than promoting it should unite the left and right of the political spectrum.
Britain’s public sentiment about the countryside
has brought much benefit to the NHS.
didn’t start till the Shakespearean age.
is fully backed by the royal family.
is not well reflected in politics.
According to Paragraph 2，the achievements of the National Trust are now being
gradually destroyed.
effectively reinforced.
properly protected.
largely overshadowed.
which of the following can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
Ukip may gain from its support for rural conservation.
the Conservatives may abandon”off-plan“building.
the Liberal Democrats are losing political influence.
labour is under attack for opposing development.
the author holds that George Osborne’s preference
reveals a strong prejudice against urban areas.
shows his disregard for the character of rural areas.
stresses the necessity of easing the housing crisis.
highlights his firm stand against lobby pressure.
In the last paragraph，the author shows his appreciation of
[A]the size of population in Britain.
[B the enviable urban lifestyle in Britain.
the town-and-country planning in Britain.
the political life in today is Britain.26答案D is not well reflected in politics
解析：细节题。精读题干，划出关键词。根据题干回到原文精确定位到首段最后一句，该句中的polls民意调查对应题干中的public sentiment，定位答案处为“this has limited political support”，意思为这在政治支持方面是有限的。与D选项“在政治上没有得到很好的反响”为同义替换。
答案D largely overshadowed
解析：细节题。根据题干，题干中出现大写the National Trust，定位到第二段首句the National
Trust该句。二段首句只是对Hill的该项目做介绍，需向后看影响。往下可以读到Hill’s pressure这句，写到“Hill的项目创造出国家公园和绿地。他们不再制造乡村了，而且每年钢筋混凝土消耗的乡村越来越多。乡村需要持久的保护”。对应选项，该项目的成就很大程度上被夺取了光辉。
答案A Ukip may gain from its support for rural conservation
解析：推断题。题干问的是从第三段能推出什么，考察的是相应段落的段落中心。观察选项不难发现，选项中都是大写的Ukip，The Conservatives，The Liberal Democrats，Labour。可根据选项中的大写回段落中寻找，发现Ukip所在的定位句为Only的倒装强调句（倒装强调句往往为答案所在处）。该句子意思是：只有Ukip意识到其机会，并支持这些人。和选项A对应一下，Ukip可能能从其对农村保护的支持中获得好处，是同义替换。
答案B Shows his disregard for the character of rural areas
解析：细节题问的是作者对于奥斯本的偏好（观点）的具体看法。根据关键词奥斯本定位至第五段，因为问的是作者对于奥斯本观点的看法，所以只需要看在奥斯本的观点之后作者的表达内容，第五段倒数两
句话就是作者表达自己观点的地方，即“我们没有破坏城市中受到保护的地方”，“你们为什么要破坏乡村的呢？”这就说明奥斯本一方的观点是要破坏乡村环境。所以可得出答案是奥斯本想法表明了他对于乡村人们的忽视。
答案C the-town-and-country planning in Britain
解析：根据题干定位到最后一段，问的是作者欣赏赞同什么，作者的观点即是文章末段的段落中心，可定位到末段末句。末句指出，避免this会将左右党派联系起来，this代词指代指代上句中所提到的内容。Should即作者赞同的地方，也就是作者赞同的是城乡结合。
TEXT3
“There is on and only one social responsibility of business,”wrote Milton Friedman,a Nobel prize-winning economist,“That is,to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits.”But even if you accept Friedman’s premise and regard corporate social responsibility(CSR)policies as a waste of shareholders’money,things may not be absolutely clear-cut.New research suggests that CSR may create monetary value for companies-at least when they are prosecuted for corruption.
The largest firms in America and Britain together spend more than$15 billion a year on CSR,according to an estimate by EPG,a consulting firm.This could add value to their businesses in three ways.First,consumers may take CSR spending as a“signal”that a company’s products are of high quality.Second,customers may be willing to buy a company’s products as an
indirect way to donate to the good causes it helps.And third,through a more diffuse“halo effect,”whereby its good deeds earn it greater consideration from consumers and others.
Previous studies on CSR have had trouble differentiating these effects because
consumers can be affected by all three.A recent study attempts to separate them by looking at bribery prosecutions under America’s Foreign Corrupt Practices Act(FCPA).It argues that since prosecutors do not consume a company’s products as part of their investigations,they could be influenced only by the halo effect.
The study found that,among prosecuted firms,those with the most comprehensive CSR programmes tended to get moer lenient penalties.Their analysis ruled out the possibility that it was firm’s political influence,rather than their CSR stand,that accounted for the leniency:Companies that contributed more to political campaigns did not receive lower fines.
In all,the study concludes that whereas prosecutors should only *uate a case based on
its merits,they do seem to be influenced by a company’s record in CSR.“We estimate that
either eliminating a substantial labour-rights concern,such as child labour,or increasing corporate giving by about 20%results in fines that generally are 40%lower than the typical punishment for bribing foreign officials,”says one researcher.
Researchers admit that their study does not answer the question of how much business ought to spend on CSR.Nor does it reveal how much companies are banking on the halo effect,rather than the other possible benefits,when they decide their do-gooding policies.But at least they have demonstrated that when companies get into trouble with the law,evidence of good character can win them less costly punishment.
The author views Milton Friedman’s statement about CSR with
【A】tolerance.
【B】skepticism.
【C】uncertainty.
【D】approval.
According to Paragraph 2,CSR helps a company by
【A】winning trust from consumers.
【B】guarding it against malpractices.
【C】protecting it from being defamed.
【D】raising the quality of its products.
The *“more lenient”(line 2,para.4)is closest in meaning to
【A】more effective
【B】less controversial
【C】less severe
【D】more lasting
When prosecutors *uate a case,a company’s CSR regard
【A】has an impact on their decision
【B】comes across as reliable evidence
【C】increases the chance of being penalized
【D】constitutes part of the investigation
Which of the following is true of CSR,according to the last paragraph?
【A】Its negative effects on businesses are often overlooked.
【B】The necessary amount of companies’spending on it is unknown.
【C】Companies’financial capacity for it has been overestimated.
【D】It has brought much benefit to the banking industry.
答案B Skepticism
解析：作者观点态度题。题干问的是作者对有关CSR方面Milton Friedman的说法是什么态度。根据大写Milton Friedman这个人定位到定位到首段首句。注意题干问的是作者的看法，因此定位到后一句but转折处。转折处的主题句式“things may not absolutely clear-cut”，作者持的是否定态度，选择答案B。C选项是作者态度不明确，不能选择。
答案A winning trust from consumers
解析：根据题干找到第二段.根据第二段内容,CSR could add value to their business in three ways.从而定位下面三点。First后面出现了high quality，但是它是在从句中，从句修饰"signal",而本句谓语动词是take，与D中raising并不是同义词，故排除。Second,和third都与消费者购买心态有关，和A选项winning trust from consumers相对应。而B，C选项的malpractices和defamed在原文中并未出现，且没有同义词，故排除。
答案C less severe
解析：根据题干找到第四段对应处。可见题干的more lenient是作为修饰penalties(惩罚)的，故推测本句在讨论CSR和penalties有什么联系。而本段与惩罚相关的词只有最后一个词fines（罚金），修饰它的形容词是lower,故可推测more lenient与降低惩罚有关，只有C选项满足。
答案A has an impact on their decision
解析：题干中问的是CSR record与prosecutors *uate a case的关系，根据题干内容到对应点：第五段第一句。本句说，...they do seem to be influenced by a company's recore in CSR.这里的be influenced与A选项has an impact对应，故选A.而B选项中的reliable evidence,C选项中的the chance of being penalized在原文中没有体现。D选项中的investigation与题干中的When
prosecutors *uate a case明显对应不上，故不予考虑。
答案B The necessary amount of companies’spending on it is unknown
解析：该题是一道判断题，题干问的是有关CSR哪个是对的。先根据CSR回到最后一段，定位到末段首句。首句提到“研究人员承认到其研究没有回答如下问题：公司应该在CSR方面花费多少钱”。选项B的意思是公司在其方面的花费是未知的，属于原文的同义替换。

There will eventually come a day when The New York Times ceases to publish stories on newsprint.Exactly when that day will be is a matter of debate.“Sometime in the future”,the paper’s publisher said back in 2010.
Nostalgia for ink on paper and the rustle of pages aside,there’s plenty of incentive to ditch print.The infrastructure required to make a physical newspaper—printing presses,delivery trucks—isn’t just expensive;it’s excessive at a time when online-only competitors don’t have the same set of financial constraints.Readers are migrating away from print away.And though print ad sales still dwarf their online and mobile counterparts,revenue from print is still declining.
Overhead may be high and circulation lower,but rushing to eliminate its print edition would be a mistake,says BuzzFeed CEO Joah Peretti.
Peretti says the Times shouldn’t waste time getting out of the print business,but only if they go about doing it the right way.”Fighting out a way to accelerate that transition would make sense of them,”he said,“but if you discontinue it,you’re going to have your most loyal customers really upset with you.”
Sometimes that’s worth making a change anyway.Peretti gives the example seen as a
blunder,”he said.The move turned out to be foresighted.And if Peretti would raise prices and make it into more of a legacy product.”
The most loyal customers would still get the product they favor,the idea goes,and they’d
feel like they were helping sustain the quality of something they believe in.“So if you’re overpaying for print,you could feel like you were helping,”Peretti said.“Then increase it at a higher rate each year and essentially try to generate additional revenue.”In other words,if you’re going to make a print product,make it for the people who are already obsessed with it.Which way be what the Times is doing already.Getting the print edition seven days a week costs$500
a year—more than twice as much as a digital-only subscription.
“It’s a really hard thing to do and it’s a tremendous luxury that BuzzFeed doesn’t have a legacy business,”Peretti remarked.“But we’re going to have questions like that where we have things we’re doing that don’t make sense when the market changes and the world changes.In those situations,it’s better to be more aggressive than less aggressive.”
The New York Times is considering ending its print edition partly due to[A]the pressure from its investors.
<B>the complaints from its readers.[C]the high cost of operation.[D]the increasing online ad sales.
Peretti suggests that,in face of the present situation,the Times should[A]make strategic adjustments
end the print edition for good.
seek new sources of readership.[D]aim for efficient management.
It can be inferred form Paragraphs 5 and 6 that a“legacy product”
[A]will have the cost of printing reduced.<B>is meant for the most loyal customers.[C]helps restore the glory of former times.[D]expands the popularity of the paper.
Peretti believes that,in a changing world,[A]traditional luxuries can stay unaffected.<B>aggressiveness better meets challenges.[C]cautiousness facilitates problem-solving.
[D]legacy businesses are becoming outdated.
Which of the following would be the best title of the text?[A]Make Your Print Newspaper a Luxury Good.
<B>Keep Your Newspapers Forever in Fashion.[C]Cherish the Newspaper Still in Your Hand.[D]Shift to Online Newspapers All at Once.
答案C the high cost of operation
解析：因果细节题，问的是纽约时报考虑停止纸质版新闻印刷出版的原因是什么。文章首段首句即是此内容的同义表达，二段解释具体原因，二段二句内容The infrastructure isn't just expensive;it's excessive at a time when online-only competitors don't have the same set of financial constraints.意思是维持纸质印刷的基础设施建设不仅仅是贵，是相当贵，而他们的竞争对手却没有这样的经济上的限制。
答案A make strategic adjustments
解析：细节题，问的是面对目前的形势，Peretti建议时代杂志怎么做，根据关键词Peretti回文定位至第四段，首句内容是Peretti说时代杂志不该浪费时间去想着如何停止纸质印刷，而应该找到一种正确的方法去解决这件事。接着二句往后在具体说明该如何正确解决目前的问题。由此推出答案是A做出策略上的调整。
答案B is meant for the most loyal customers
解析：推断题与词汇题的结合，要根据上下文来做出选择。首先定位在第五段最后一句：I would raise prices and make it into more of a legacy product.不仅要提高价格还要将它变为一种可以传承的产物。单单这一句不足以做出选择。需要继续往下看在第六段中有没有对于这个词的解释之类的。第六段开头提到了他认为most consumer依旧坚持去相信他们认为好的东西，喜欢的，相信的东西。如果可以每年增加一些比例，那么依旧是可以创收的。长篇大段的叙述可以让大家明白这个词一定跟consumer有关。最为关键的是：紧接着出现了in other world，重述上文，不过却简洁的总结了前文。如果我们要做这些print product，那就选择那些已经痴迷于他们的人吧。（那么对于他们来讲就是一件可以传承的东西了，以前喜欢，会依旧喜欢下去）。所以这句为做题的关键，对应同义替换，选择B。
A选项中的降低成本没有在文中相应位置涉及到。C重建以往的关荣，与消费者关系不大D扩大受欢迎程度，范围过大。
答案B aggressiveness better meets challenges
解析：观点态度题。偏细节题。定位Peretti在文中的观点，首次出现在第三段overhead…but
rushing to eliminate its print edition would be a mistake.并且一直贯穿于下文。我们首先从选项来看。A中…can stay unaffected过于绝对，不选。D选项中legacy business不是文中的讨论话题，所以可
以直接排除。而C选项中谨慎可以促进问题的解决，在perreti的观点中根本没有体现，相反他建议要有所改变，并且要找对方式，言下之意就是大胆去面对挑战。所以最终确定是B。
答案A Make Your Print Newspaper a Luxury Good
解析：主旨题。出现在最后一道题目中，全文共有7段，根据上面的细节题目，大致可以确定本文的中心词为“print newspaper”B，C两个选项中的newspaper都属于范围过大，是主旨题的典型错误选项，而D选项中出现的online newspaper只是文中print newspaper时提到的一个面临的一个挑战，不足
以引领全文，并且all at once,是“立刻，马上”之意，与原文的观点也有出入，最终确定选A。
Part B Directions:
In the following article,some sentences have been removed.For Questions 41-45,choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into each of the numbered blank.There are two extra choices,which do not fit in any of the gaps.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.(10 points)[A]Create a new image of yourself
<B>Decide if the time is right[C]Have confidence in yourself[D]Understand the context[E]Work with professionals[F]Know your goals
[G]Make it efficient
No matter how formal or informa the work environment，the way you present yourself has an impact.This is especially true in first impressions.According to research from Princeton University，people assess your competence，trustworthiness，and likeability in just a tenth of a second，solely based on the way you look.
The difference between today’s workplace and the“dress for success”era is that the range of options is so much broader.Norms have evolved and fragmented.In some settings,red sneakers or dress T-shirts can convey status;in others not so much.Plus,whatever image we present is magnified by social-media services like LinkedIn.Chances are,your headshots are seen much more often now than a decade or two ago.Millennials,it seems,face the paradox of being the least formal generation yet the most conscious of style and personal branding.It can be
confusing.
So how do we navigate this?How do we know when to invest in an upgrade?And what’s the best way to pull off one that enhance our goals?Here are some tips;
41.
As an executive coach,I’ve seen image upgrades be particularly helpful during transitions---when looking for a new job,stepping into a new or more public role,or changing work environments.If you’re in a period of change or just feeling stuck and in a rut,now may be a good time.If you’re not sure,ask for honest feedback from trusted friends,colleagues and professionals.Look for cues about how others perceive you.Maybe there’s no need for an upgrade and that’s OK.
42.Get clear on what impact you’re hoping to have.Are you looking to refresh your image or pivot it?For one person,the goal may be to be taken more seriously and enhance their professional image.For another,it may be to be
perceived as more approachable,or more modern and stylish.For someone moving from finance to advertising,maybe they want to look more“SoHo”.(It’s OK to use characterizations like that.)
43.
Look at your work environment like an anthropologist.What are the norms of your environment?What converys status?Who are your most important audiences?How do the people you respect and look up to present themselves?The better you understand the cultural context,the more control you can have over your impact.
44.
Enlist the support of professionals and share with them your goals and context.Hire a personal stylist,or use the free styling service of a store like J.Crew.Try a hair stylist instead of a barber.Work with a professional photographer instead of your spouse or friend.It’s not as expensive as you might think.
45.
The point of a style upgrade isn’t to become more vain or to spend more time passing over what to wear.Instead,use it as an opportunity to reduce decision fatigue.Pick a standard work uniform or a few go-to options.Buy all your clothes once with a stylist instead of shopping alone,one article of clothing at a time.
B Decide if the time is right
解析：此段第一句话主句里面说“在过渡的阶段提升自我形象尤其有用”。第二句和第三、四句分别展开说明，第二句表明：如果你处在变动的时期或者感觉需要变动，那么可能这可能是一个好的时机。相反，第三、四句话表示：如果不确定的话，就需要得到别人的反馈了。也许无需提升。故整段的意思是说要先确定是否现在是提升自我形象的正确时机。故答案为C选项。
F Know your goals
解析：此段中心句即第一句话，标明“要清楚你想要的结果或影响”。其实就是你想要的目标。紧接着开始解释，提到比如，你是否想要更新你的形象？那么，对于一个人来讲，这个目标可能是要被认真对待或者要加强专业的形象。对于其他人，这个目标可能是要被看作可以触摸到的，或者是现代的，或者是时尚的。对于那些要从金融转到广告的，他们可能得看起来更“SOHO”.所以，整段都在讲目标。而选项F中的”goal”形成复现。故为答案。
D Understand the context
解析：复现原则，文章多次重复environment,understand the context就是要理解你的工作处境。
E Work with professionals
解析：复现原则，文章多次重复professional,work with,就是要与专业人士一起工作。
G Make it efficient
解析：此段第二句句首出现instead,故为转折句。所以从此句获得中心内容。该句讲的是“最好是将形象升级用做减少做决定的机会。”紧接着提到“选取一套标准的工作服或几个其他的选择。把衣服一下子都买了，而不是一个人购买，或者一次只买一件”。这些提到的都是要有效率。故选G。

Translation Directions:
Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese.Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2.(10 points)
Within the span of a hundred years,in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries,a tide of emigration-one of the great folk wanderings of history-swept from Europe to America.
This movement,driven by powerful motivations,built a nation out of a wilderness and,by its nature,shaped the character and destiny of an uncharted continent.
The United States is the product of two principal forces-the immigration of European peoples with their varied ideas,customs,and national characteristics and the impact of
a new country which modified these traits.Of necessity,colonial America was a projection of
Europe.Across the Atlantic came successive groups of Englishmen,Frenchmen,Germans,Scots,Irishmen,Dutchmen,Swedes,and many others who attempted to transplant their habits and traditions to the new world.48)But the force of geographic conditions peculiar to America,the interplay of the varied national groups upon one another,and the sheer difficulty of maintaining old-world ways in a raw,new continent caused significant changes.These changes were gradual and at first scarcely visible.But the result was a new social pattern which,although it resembled European society in many ways,had a character that was distinctly American.
49)The first shiploads of immigrants bound for the territory which is now the United States crossed the Atlantic more than a hundred years after the fifteenth-and sixteenth-century explorations of North America.In the meantime,thriving Spanish colonies had been established in Mexico,the West Indies,and South America.These travelers to North America came in small,unmercifully overcrowded craft.During their six-to twelve-week voyage,they subsisted on meager rations.Many of the ships were lost in storms,many passengers died of disease,and infants rarely survived the journey.Sometimes tempests blew the vessels far off their course,and often calm brought interminable delay.
To the anxious travelers the sight of the American shore brought almost inexpressible relief.Said one chronicler,"The air at twelve leagues'distance smelt as sweet as a new-blown garden."The colonists'first glimpse of the new land was a vista of dense woods.50)The virgin forest with its richness and variety of trees was a real treasure-house which extended from Maine
all the way down to Georgia.Here was abundant fuel and lumber.Here was the raw material of houses and furniture,ships and potash,dyes and naval stores.

We don’t have to learn how to be mentally healthy;it is built into us in the same way that our bodies know how to heal a cut or mend a broken bone.
【句子结构】分号连接的两个并列句，第一个并列句主干是We don’t have to learn，how引导宾语从句做learn的宾语，第二个并列句主干是it is built into us in the same way，that引导定语从句修饰先行词way，that定语从句中主干是our bodies know，how引导宾语从句做know的宾语。
【参考译文】我们无需刻意去了解学习才能让心理更健康，它正如我们的身体知道怎样让伤口愈合和修复骨折一样，是根植于我们体内的/是我们与生俱来的能力。
Our mental health doesn’t really go anywhere;like the sun behind a cloud,it can be temporarily hidden from view,but it is fully capable of being restored in an instant.
【句子结构】分号连接的两个并列句,第一个并列句主谓结构，很简单，第二个并列句中，like the sun behind a cloud是状语，but连接两个并列分句，包括短语be hidden from和be capable of.涉及被动语态的翻译方法。
【参考译文】我们的心理健康并不是真的消失不见，就像云朵背后的太阳，它也许暂时被遮挡，但是它也可以在瞬间重焕光芒。
Mental health allows us to view others with sympathy if they are having troubles,with
kindness if they are in pain,and with unconditional love no matter who they are.
【句子结构】句子主干是Mental health allows us to view others，三个并列with引导的介词短语做状语，前两个with引导的状语中各包含一个if引导的条件状从，最后一个with状语中包含一个no matter引导的让步状语。
【参考译文】心理健康使我们在他人遇到麻烦时给予同情，在他人痛苦时心存善意，而且无论对方是谁都会给予无条件的关爱。
49、【参考译文】尽管拥有健康的心智是我们生活中的万能药，但它并不稀奇，你会发现在你难以做决定时，它一直在指引着你。
【解析】本题有一个由although引导的让步状语从句，as引导的时间状语从句，以及that引导的宾语
从句构成。此处“mental health”若是翻译成心理健康与下文连接，则不符合中文表达习惯，又因mental本身与智力相关，所以将其翻译成“健康的心智”；此外“perfectly ordinary”可以正译，译为“非常普遍”，本译文采取正话反说的方式，译为“并不稀奇”。再次，“difficult decisions”若翻译为困难的决定，不符合中文的表达方式，所以将decision，名词译为动词“做决定”。
As you will come to see,knowing that mental health is always available and knowing to trust it allow us slow down to the moment and live life happily.
【参考译文】你会慢慢理解到，健康的心智会一直存在，坚信这一点，此刻我们就可以放慢生活节奏，快乐的生活。
【解析】本题由as引导的时间状语从句，that引导的宾语从句组成，并且考察代词“it”。“see”在此时了解而不是看到的意思，意思和knowing一致，随意合并翻译；“available”本意“可得到的”，句中意译为“一直存在”。

Library of Beijing University
解析：
今年英语一的小作文与我们预测的完全一致，再一次考查到了通知。在英语一的考试当中，通知已经考查过1年。例如我们英语一在2010年就考查过代表研究生会写一篇招募国际会议的通知。同时英语
二在2015年考的也是招募志愿者的通知。我们在课堂上也反复强调过通知的格式，所以同学们对此应该毫无压力。
同时以图书馆为写作背景，在2007年的建议信中也已经考察过，所以相关表达在课堂上都已经
涉及过。因此，只要把2010年通知的格式，结合2007年建议信的相关内容，就可以很轻松的写出2016
年的小作文。这就启发我们2017届的同学们要高度重视历年试题，因为考过的话题或是书信类型会反复考查。
下面我们来详细解读下今年的小作文，首先看一下题目要求：
Suppose you are a librarian in your university.Write a notice of about 100 words,providing the newly-enrolled international students with relevant information about the library.
小作文即A节作文的评分侧重点在于1.格式和语域的恰当；2.信息点的覆盖、3.内容的组织、4.语言的准确性。那么我们主要从格式和内容两方面来解析此文。
首先，从格式上来说，通知的格式包括四大部分：
标题，通知要求必须有标题，可以直接用Notice做标题就可以，注意首字母大写，居中
时间，通知的时间要求在标题下方第二行，按照日月年的顺序来写，注意月与年之间要有逗号，且时间在靠右对齐
正文，通知正文要求首段缩进四个字符，不要求一定分段，为了内容层次清晰，建议分三段为好。
落款，落款即发通知的单位，此处需要特别注意，根据题目的要求，你是代表图书馆写的通知，所以落款应该是某某图书馆，而非Li Ming本人。
另外，从内容上来看，作文一个图书管理员，要向学生介绍学校的图书馆，其实可以介绍的内容还是很多的，比如图书馆的藏书，图书馆的开放时间，入馆要求等等。所以内容部分对于大家来书应该也不是难事，具体内容可以参考如上范文。
Part B
52.Directions:
Write an essay of 160—200 words based on the following picture.in your essay,you should
describe the pictures briefly,
interpret its intended meaning,and
give your comments.
You should write neatly on ANSWER SHEET.(20 points)
What is symbolically depicted in the caricatures,there emerge two circumstances,carrying sharp contrast implications.In the first drawing,a father is watching a football match on the sofa who is at the same time supervising his son to finish homework.It is not difficult to observe that his son wears frowned * on his face.On the contrary,the second portrayal depicts a father is working just besides his son,who is doing his assignment.
The objective of the drawer is to demonstrate that utmost significance should be attached to the phenomenon that setting proper examples has exerted great impact on the growth of the
younger generation in China at present.Previously,it is widely acknowledged that it is the compelling obligation for the parents to help their kids to form an appropriate value about the world and the life,which carries overwhelmingly precious connotation to the sound
development on the younger generation.Simultaneously,there is no denying that the most rational method for adults to educate their adolescents is to set themselves a good example to their teenagers rather than making perpetual requirements,which is less persuasive compared with the actions.
Accordingly,it is vital for us to derive positive implication from these thought-provoking drawings.On the one hand,we can frequently use them to enlighten the parents to be more advisable in educate their children.On the other hand,parents should attach more emphasis on setting excellent models for their juveniles.Only by doing so,can we effectively ensure a promising prospect for the adolescents.
2015年的大作文从总体上来看不难，因为它考查到了现在的一个社会热点。这个热点甚至比2014年当时的热点还要热！就内容和话题而言，在我们的预料之中，属于综合性话题，既考察了当今信息社会发展过程中网络对我们生活的影响，正如任何事物有两个方面一样，积极方面和消极方面，必须做到两者的统一，对于手机的影响这个话题大家应该是有话可说的。同时，本题也考查了人际关系方面的内容，同样是两方面内容所引申出来的，这是借用人际关系这个事件来说明和阐述手机的两方面的影响和作用，也就是手机的出现和发展给我们之间的联系提供了方便，使我们的世界变成了地球村，另外比如信息共享，成果共享等都非常方便；除此之外，也有消极的一方面，也就是手机的出现同时淡漠了人际关系，忽视了人与人之间的面对面的交往和联系，同时人们之间面对面说话的交流机会少了，话题也少了。最后说出你的对策。
更重要的是：从十年的考研试题来讲，2009年的大作文考查到了网络的问题，当年的图画是很多人在一个类似大的蜘蛛网的区域里上网，图片下面有一行字：网络的“近”与“远”！当年的描述图画部分比较难表达，而今年图画描述部分相比起来就容易得多。下面我们就从写作的标准三段式来讲讲这三段我们应该怎么写。
第一段图画描述段的写作内容主要是表述图画，四个人都在盯着手机，桌子上的饭菜没动，还可以更加注意写细节，比如他们认真的神情和桌子上的饭菜未动之类！第二段是图画涵义阐释段。本段可分两个方面来具体写。一方面具体写明手机给我们带来的好处；另一方面，我们要指出手机的弊端，给我们生活带来了很多负面影响。第三段评论段的写作内容为给出自己的评论和建议。可以指出年轻人应该重视面对面的交流！最后一句可以展望一下未来，说如果我们放下手机拿起筷子享受美食，和谐的关系就会出现了！
如果同学们指出这个是一个社会问题，我们要加以改正，个人认为这也是可以接受的！
