1、Wccanlearnfromthepassagethatthemostoftoday'sgame-playersare.

A、teenagersplayingbyhimself

B、verykeenabout"AngryBird',

C>female

D、middle-agedpeople

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考查的是當(dāng)今玩家的成分，可以定位到第一段中的

Todayagamerisaslikelytobeamiddle-agedcommuterplaying“AngryBirds^on

hersmartphone.InAmerica,thebiggestmarket,theaveragegame-playeris37years

old.Two-fifthsarefemale從這里可以看出，現(xiàn)在的玩家大多是成年人，其中王分

之二是女性。因此，D項(xiàng)符合文意。A項(xiàng)講的是青少年是之前的情況，B項(xiàng)講的不

準(zhǔn)確。文中只是提到這個(gè)游戲，沒有說所有玩家都熱衷。C項(xiàng)也不正確，女性只占

五分之二，不到半數(shù)。因此，正確答案是D。

2、Howdoestechnologypromotethedevelopmentofvideogames?

A、Itallowedgamedesignerstoofferawesomeexperiences.

B、Ithelpstoproducemorecomplexgames.

C、Itmakescharactersingamesmorepowerful.

D^Makingscenesinthegameslooklikethereallife.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A」

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。取據(jù)題于中的videogames可以定位到第四段，從文中

Meanwhilerapidimprovementsincomputingpowerhaveallowedgamedesigners

toofferexperiencesthatarenowoftenmorecinematicthanthecinema.從中可以看出

科技使游戲設(shè)計(jì)者可以制造出超越電影院的體驗(yàn)。A項(xiàng)中的awesomeexperiences

是對(duì)原文中的同義轉(zhuǎn)述，符合原文。B、C在原文沒有直接提及。D是畫面逼真，

這是完美體驗(yàn)的一部分。因此，正確答案是A。

3、Howdo"freemium"modelswork?

A、Itreliesonalargeaudiencetomakeprofits.

B、Peoplecanplaygamesonlinewithoutpayment.

C、Itreliesonnon-payingcustomerstobuildanaudienceandgainprofitsfroma

fanaticalfew.

D^Itchargesverylittlemoneyfromitshugeaudience.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。艱據(jù)題干中的“freemium”models可以定位到文中的Inan

erawhenpeoplearedisinclinedtopayforcontentontheweb,gamespublisherswere

quicktodevelopUfrccmium,,rnodcls,whereyourelyonnon-payingcustomerstobuild

anaudienceandthenextractcashonlyfromafanaticalfew?由此可知這個(gè)模式主要是

通過免費(fèi)玩來創(chuàng)造巨大的玩家群體，而只從少數(shù)狂熱玩家身上獲取利潤(rùn)。C項(xiàng)的內(nèi)

容與此相對(duì)應(yīng)。A、B項(xiàng)只是這個(gè)模式的一部分，不全面。D項(xiàng)講的不是原文的意

思。因此，正確答案是C。

4、HowdofirmsmakemoneyinChina?

A、Chargingplayersforgamesplayedonline.

B、Gainingmoneyfromadvertisements.

C、Sellingin-gameperksand"virtualgoods".

D、Sellingvideogames.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考查的是中國(guó)的游戲公司如何賺錢?？梢远ㄎ坏轿闹械?/p>

Firmsinsteadmakemoneybysellingin-gameperksand44virtualgoods%。

dedicatedplayers,由此前見中國(guó)的公司主要通過賣游戲中的裝備和虛擬物品來賺

錢。C項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容與此相符。A、B、D項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容在文中都沒有直接提及。因此，正

確答案是C。

5、Whichofthefollowingtitlessuitsthepassagebest9

A、PopularityofVideoGames

R、Games—ARigIndustry

C、WhoPlayGamesToday?

D、GamesandTeenagers

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B-

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：主旨題。本題要我們選最恰當(dāng)?shù)臉?biāo)題，就是選文章的主題。木文主要

講了游戲產(chǎn)業(yè)的現(xiàn)狀，其發(fā)展的兩大動(dòng)力，以及它在營(yíng)銷方面的出色之處等內(nèi)容。

顯而易見，本文主要講的是游戲產(chǎn)業(yè)，B項(xiàng)符合。A、C、D項(xiàng)都是文章中的很小

的一方面。因此，正確答案是B。

6、WccanlearnfromthepassagethattheAmbassador.

A、isabigcarwithasleekstyle.

B、isthefirstcartobemadeinIndia.

C>isacaronlyrichpeoplecanbuy.

D、stilldominatetheIndianmarket.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題.木題考查的是對(duì)于這個(gè)汽車的了解。A項(xiàng)講這個(gè)車有流線型

的風(fēng)格，從文中Moderncarsintheirquestforsleekerstyling可知這是現(xiàn)代汽車的特

點(diǎn)，這里張冠李戴了。C項(xiàng)講它只是富人的車。從文市Itwasataxiformanyanda

familycar「ortherich可知它也可以作為出租車，被一般人乘坐。D項(xiàng)講它仍然主導(dǎo)

市場(chǎng)顯然不對(duì)，因?yàn)槲恼乱婚_始就指出ProductionoftheAmbassador,thefirstcar

tobemadeinIndia,hasbeenhaltedbecauseoffallingdemand,即因?yàn)樾枨笮∷．a(chǎn)

了。因此，正確答案是B。

7、WhytheauthorsaytheerarepresentedbyAmbassadorbestbeforgotten?

A、Becauseitisatimeofsocialdisorder.

B>Becauseitisatimeofextremepoverty.

C、Becauseitisatimeofcontrolledeconomyanditsstiflingregulations.

D、Becauseitisatimeofcivilwars.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。艱據(jù)題干中的iheerarepresentedbyAmbassador可以定位到

文中的Therecanbenodoubt,theAmbassador'sdeparturemarkstheendofan

era.However,forme?it^anerabestforgotten.TheAmbassadorwasasymbolof

allthatwaswrongwithIndia'scontrolledeconomyanditsstiflingregulations,從這里

可以看出它代表的是計(jì)劃經(jīng)濟(jì)和死板的管理的時(shí)代，所以最好被遺忘。C項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容

與此相符。其它的選項(xiàng)在文中都沒有提及。因此，正確答案是C。

8、Whatdoesthejokeinfifthparagraphshow?

A、TheAmbassadorisofverybadquality.

B、TheIndianpeopleareveryhumorous.

C、TheIndianpeopleareverypositive.

D^Theroadsatthattimewereverybad.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：推斷題。題干中的明確指出是第五段中的笑話，可以直接定位到文中

Buyersweresaddledwithcarsofverybadquality,whichconstantlybrokedownand

yetthewaitinglisttobuyonecouldstretchuptoeightyears!Andtherewere

Ambassadoijokcsaplenty,myfavouriteonebeing："Theonlythingthatdoesn'tmakea

soundinanAmbassadoristhehorn!”,從這里可以看出后面的笑話是為了說明前文汽

車質(zhì)量差的觀點(diǎn)。因此，正確答案是A。

9、WhichofthefollowingisnottrueaboutthefirstbigchangeaboutTheAmbassador?

A、Itwasmainlyduetoemissionregulations.

B、Itwasanall-newengine.

C、Itwasanewbrakes.

D、Itneededthelengthofanairportrunwaytostopit.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：c-

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。艱據(jù)題干中的thefirstbigchange可以定位到文中的Thefirst

bigchange,possiblypromptedbyemissionregulations,wasanall—new

engine.WhenItestedtheAmbassadorforanautomobilemagazineinthemid-1990s,it

wasihefastest—acceleratingcarinIndia*outpacingthemoremodemFiatsandMaruti-

Suzukisofthatage.Thatitneededthelengthofanairportrunwaytostopitwasanother

matter.Thcmakcrhadbarelyupgradedthebrakes,由此可知這個(gè)變化是由于排氣規(guī)

定促成的.變化的是換了一個(gè)全新的引擎。但是卻要飛機(jī)跑道那么遠(yuǎn)的距離才能停

下來，因?yàn)闆]有更新剎車。所以A、B、D項(xiàng)是正確的，C講是一個(gè)全新的剎車與

事實(shí)相悖。因此.正確答案是C。

10>What'sthethemainideaofthepassage?

ThequalityoftheAmbassador.

B、ThehistoryabouttheAmbassador.

C、ThenostalgicfeelingtowardstheAmbassador.

D^ThedepartureoftheAmbassador.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：主旨題。本文一開篇就指出了印度的老牌汽車“大使”汽車由于銷量不

佳而停產(chǎn)。接著介紹了這種汽車與現(xiàn)代汽車的對(duì)比，并指出它的退隱象征著一個(gè)時(shí)

代的結(jié)束，簡(jiǎn)要介紹它的質(zhì)量和歷史，最后再次說明現(xiàn)代車輛已經(jīng)徹底取代了這種

古老的車。所以主要講的是這個(gè)汽車退出了歷史舞臺(tái)。D項(xiàng)符合，A、B、C都只

是文章中的次要部分。因此，正確答案是D。

B、Becauseitmakespeopledigestbetter.

C、Becauseitcheckstheurgetoeatmorefattyfoods.

D、Becauseitdoesnotaddsfatinourbody.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考查的是為什么吃富含蛋白質(zhì)的食品是減肥的最佳渠

道，可以定位到第二段中的High-proteindietschecktheurgetoeatmorefatty

foods.和Giventhecoirplexwayourappetiteswork,eatingtoolittleproteinincreases

theriskthatpeoplewilleatmorefattyfoods,由此可知原因是人們吃這類食物會(huì)抑制

吃更多高脂肪食物的沖動(dòng)。這與C項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容符合。其它選項(xiàng)文中沒有提及。因

此，正確答案是C。

12、Whyobesityraleshavesoaredoverthepast60yearsaccordingtothepassage?

A^Peopleeattoomuchfastfood.

B、Peopleeatlessprotein.

C、Peopleeatmuchmorefood.

D、Peopleeattoomuchprocessedjunkfood.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。取據(jù)題干中的obesityrateshavesoaredoverthepast60years

可以定位至U文中的Researcherssayitisnocoincidencethatobesityrateshavesoared

overthepast60yearswithBritainnowinthegripofanepidemicatatimewhenweeat

lessprotein,由此可知主要原因是人們吃的蛋白質(zhì)更少了。B項(xiàng)符合文意。其它的

選項(xiàng)文章沒有直接提及。因此，正確答案是B。

13、Whyshouldweavoidprocessedfoods?

A、Theycontainsmanyharmfulingredients.

B、Ourbodiesandappetitesarenotadaptedtoprocessedfood.

C>Theyhaveverylittleprotein.

D、Theycontaintoomuchfat.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。眼據(jù)題干中的avoidprocessedfoods可以定位到文中的“No

industriallyextractedsugars,starchesandsalt.Ourbodiesandappetitesarenot

以適應(yīng)。B項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容符合。因此，正確答案是B。

14、Whichofthefollowingisnotincludedinthebenefitsofprotein?

A、Itisessentialfbrgrowthandrepairofthebody.

B、Eatingitcanmakepeopleloseweight.

C、Itcanprovideenergy.

D、Itiseasytobedigested.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D-

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考查的是蛋白質(zhì)的益處，在文章一開始就指出食用富含

它的飲食可以減肥,所以B項(xiàng)是對(duì)的。從文中Proteinisessentialforgrowthand

repairofthebody,maintaininggoodhealthandprovidingenergy可以看出它有助于生長(zhǎng)

和機(jī)體修復(fù)，還能提供能量，所以A、C項(xiàng)是它的優(yōu)點(diǎn)。D講它有助于消化，文中

沒有提及。因此，正確答案是D。

15>What'sspecialaboutproteinrichfoodcomparedwithfoodsrichincarbohydratesor

A、Theyaremoredelicious.

Theymakepeoplefeelfuller.

CsTheycanprovidemoreenergy.

D、Theyhelpstomaintaingoodhealth.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。艱據(jù)題干中的foodsrichincarbohydratesorfat可以定位到文

中EleanaPapadopoulou,nutritionscientistattheBfitishNutritionFoundation,said：

''Protein-richfoodslendtomakepeoplefeelfullerthanfoodsrichincarbohydrates

orfat.由此可見它的特別之處在于可以使人們覺得更飽。C、D項(xiàng)是它的好處，

不是特殊之處，A項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容沒有提及。因此，正確答案是B。

A、isapolitician

B、isveryrichwifeofabusinessman

C、isamulti-millionairess

D、isadrugaddict

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考查的是對(duì)于蘿拉?阿黛爾的了解，A項(xiàng)內(nèi)容與文中

TheOmanipolitician'swifetoldtheHighCourt相悖,她自己不是政治家,她丈夫

是。B項(xiàng)講她是有錢商人的妻子也不對(duì)，她是政治家的妻子。D項(xiàng)與文中MrsAl-

Daherhadmadcitclearwhenshearrivedthatshewas"agamblingaddict”相悖,她是賭

癮不是毒癮。C項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容與文中Multi-millionairessNoraAl-Daher,50的內(nèi)容相

符，她是一個(gè)身價(jià)數(shù)百萬的富婆。因此，正確答案是C。

17、WhydoesNoraAl-DahersueTheRitzinLondon?

C、Becauseshehaslostalotofmoneythere.

D^Becausethestafftherethereinsultedher.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考查的是蘿拉起訴倫敦利茲酒店的原因.文章一開頭就

說明了原因AhugelywealthywifeissuingTheRitzinLondonaftershelost￡2million

inasingleeveningatitscasino?sayingitknewshewasagamblingaddictandshould

havestoppedher和Sheclaimsthatclubstaff,whoshesaysknewofher

addiction,stoodbehindheratthetableencouraginghertokeepplaying,由此可知理由

是他們知道她有賭癮卻還鼓勵(lì)她賭。B項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容與此一致，其它選項(xiàng)文章沒有提

到。因此。正確答案是B。

18、WhichofthefollowingcannotbeinferredfromRobertDeacon'swords?

A、TheRitzshouldreturnhermoney.

B、Thestaffisresponsibleforherhugeloss.

C^Thestafftookadvantageofheraddiction.

D^Shewas"agamblingaddict".

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：推斷題。艱據(jù)題干中的RobertDeacon可以定位到文中的Her

lawyer,RobertDeacon,(oldJudgeAnthonySeysLlewellynthatMrsAl-Daherhad

madeitclearwhensheanivedthatshewas“agamblingaddict”,hadmadesubstantial

酒店的員工對(duì)她的損失負(fù)有責(zé)任，因?yàn)閱T工利用了她的賭癮，因此，酒店應(yīng)該把錢

還給她。所以A、B、C項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容都可以推導(dǎo)出，D項(xiàng)講她有賭癮是文中直接提出

來的，不是推斷出的。因此，正確答案是D。

19、Whatdocstheauthormeanby"bringmetomysenses"inthirdparagraph?

A、Makingherrealizeitisfoolishtokeepgambling.

B、Tellinghertoleaveimmediately.

C、Makinghercalmdown.

D、Stoppingherwithallmeans.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：語義題。艱據(jù)題干中的bringmetomysenses可以定位到文中的

TheOmanipolitician'swifetoldtheHighCourt：Ineededsomeonethatnighttotellme

tostopplayingandbringmetomysenses.IfIhadbeentoldtostop,ofcourseIwould

stopimmcdiatcly.Nooneevertoldmetostoporthinkaboutmygambling.They

shouldhavediscouragedme,butinsteadtheytookadvantageofme.這句話的原意

是使人恢復(fù)理智，在這個(gè)語境中可知它的意思是使她意識(shí)到自己賭博的愚蠢，A項(xiàng)

最貼切，B、C、D偏離了原意。因此，正確答案是A。

20、Asuitabletitleforthepassagewouldbe?

A^CasinoatTheRitz

B、AStunningLossofMoney

C、TwoMillionGamblingLoss

D、LawsuitAboutGamblingLoss.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D-

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：主旨題。本文主要講了蘿拉因?yàn)樽约涸诶澗频贻斄藘砂偃f而把酒店

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：與原始社會(huì)相比，人類進(jìn)步到工業(yè)化社會(huì)以后，青春期變長(zhǎng)了。為什

么呢?在首段中，作者提出了兩個(gè)原因：第一，受教育的時(shí)間變長(zhǎng)了；第二，法律

做出了反對(duì)使用童工的規(guī)定。這樣一來，青少年踏入社會(huì)的腳步延緩了，青春期也

因而延長(zhǎng)，C正確。

2、Formersocialceremoniesthatusedtomarkadolescencehavegivenplaceto.

A、graduationsfromschoolsandcolleges

B、socialrecognition

C、socio-economicstatus

D、certainbehavioralchanges

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A「

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第2段第2、3句提到，成人禮在現(xiàn)代社會(huì)已經(jīng)“進(jìn)化''了，一系列畢

業(yè)典禮讓青少年一步步得到社會(huì)的承認(rèn)，A符合題意。本題如果沒有弄清楚第2句

的邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)，則容易誤選B或C。第2句中replaced的邏輯主語是asequenceof

steps而不是用來修飾steps的從句中的詞（increasedrecognitionandsocialstatus）.,

3、Noonecanexpecttofullyenjoytheadulthoodprivilegesuntilheis.

A^elevenyearsold

B、sixteenyearsold

C、twenty-oneyearsold

D^betweentwelveandtwenty-oneyearsold

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第2段倒數(shù)第4句說到了21歲一個(gè)人就擁有了成年人所有的合法權(quán)

利，C項(xiàng)符合題意。注意第二段后半部分（描述幾個(gè)標(biāo)志性年齡所能帶來的權(quán)利變

化）的結(jié)構(gòu)，它屬于描述一個(gè)process（過程）的timerelationship（時(shí)間關(guān)系）結(jié)構(gòu)。抓住

此結(jié)構(gòu)，可以做跳躍式的閱讀。

4、Startingfrom22,.

A、onewillobtainmorebasicrights

B、theolderonebecomes,themorebasicrightshewillhave

C^onewon'tgetmorebasicrightsthanwhenheis21

D、onewillenjoymorerightsgrantedbysociety

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：c

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第2段倒數(shù)第2句說到，“一個(gè)人獲得成人身份后，不再因?yàn)槟挲g因

素而獲得更多的基本權(quán)利?！彼缘搅?2歲，不會(huì)因?yàn)槎嚅L(zhǎng)了一歲而享受更多的權(quán)

利。故C項(xiàng)符合題意。
