Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Making predictions is tricky, especially about the future, as physicist Niels Bohr joked. In science fiction, you can’t escape that ___30___ though. Since its birth in the 19th century, writers have ___31___ imagined the things to come: devices that humankind will invent to make life easier. But in so many instances, those promises have not come to pass. The biggest ___32___ are in travel-jet packs, hover boards and flying cars are not to fill the skies. Air travel has become significantly cheaper and wide-reaching, but only using distinctly 20th-century technology: commercial aeroplanes are much the same as they were 50 years ago.
___33___ is what science fiction frequently delivers, but its arrival in the real world has been unpredictable. Domestic robots with a degree of intelligence haven’t been ___34___, though robotic vacuum cleaners are commercially available-even if they are fairly hopeless.

The truth is that we quickly ___36___ the astonishment of invention: our wonderment is soon replaced with the feeling of nothing new. We should try to stay in that period of ___37___. It is astonishing that the contents of every book over written can be stored in a small box. Or that you can carry 10,000 albums on an object kept in your pocket. Or that almost all the information in the world can be accessed almost anywhere at any time. All these ____38____ are dependent on the emergence of the microchip and its place in computers. Yet sci-fi didn’t ____39____ the dominance of the computer in running our lives.
But the real area where ____40____ far outstrips (超過(guò)) predictions is medicine. Sure, fiction would describe humans as ‘disease-free’ but without going into detail. “Disease-free” humans are still absent, but the progress made in ____41____ life is breathtaking. With relative ease, we can sequence anyone’s genome, giving a read-out of our entire genetic code. This means we can find out the underlying genetic cause of thousands of diseases in minutes.
Photosensitive implants now exist that can replace damaged cells in the retina and can thus ____42____ sight to the blind. While the inventions of science fiction can show great ideas we’d like to happen, nothing ____43____ the inventiveness of people in the real world.

Section B (22%)
Directions: Read the following passages. 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)
One recent night, while I was leafing through its pages of an old journal, my eyes met a quote by the British writer Graham Greene that I had marked. “A prejudice had something in common with an ideal.” In other words, ideals general descriptions of people’s expectations of themselves and others can often lead us to unreasonable ideas. It got me thinking about how we often allow ourselves to generalize about groups of people. We like to stereotype people by the color of their skin, the year of their birth or any other related factors.
I grew up in a multi-racial corner of America. The different groups were often subject to narrow stereotypes: Jewish people were “greedy,” Mexicans were “poorly educated,” and Asians were “good at math.” These labels were taught to us from a young age. They wormed their way into our belief systems, harming how we came to see others. It made me sad growing up to see people repeat these stereotypes as if they were true. The rush-to-judgment of people breeds a culture of discrimination (歧視).
You can also see these over-generalized description being made against today’s Chinese people. Whether it be a lack of interest or worry among millennials (千禧一代) being described as “monkish,” or “dad-fashion (復(fù)古作風(fēng))” which has given the “greasy middle-aged men” tag, stereotypes always seem to gain a foothold in the consciousness of our society. But these generalizations do real harm as these myths may become part of the wider population.
It’s about time that we, as a society, walked away from generalizations and stereotypes. I leave you with the words of Martin Luther King Jr. from his famous “I Have a Dream” speech: “I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” By reserving judgment and really getting to know the individual, you might just find your irrational ideas have no foundation.
44. According to the passage, how do people tend to judge others?
A. By describing people’s personalities.
B. By truly getting to know those around.
C. By observing their noticeable features.
D. By following Martin Luther King’s speech.
45. According to the author, a culture of discrimination appears because ________.
A. people live in places of various races
B. people are born with unreasonable ideas
C. prejudices slightly influence people’s belief system
D. people usually make judgments without thinking twice
46. Examples of “millennials” and “dad-fashion” are mentioned in Paragraph 3 to reveal ________.
A. generalizations have unfavourable position in society
B. generalizations have a negative influence on our society
C. generalizations are found peculiar to the middle-aged Chinese
D. generalizations make today’s Chinese people lack interest or worry
47. The passage is mainly concerned with ________.
A. the common prejudice B. people’s expectation of themselves
C. the groundless worries D. the famous speech of Martin Luther King
【答案】44. C 45. D 46. B 47. A
【解析】
【分析】這是一篇夾敘夾議文。短文中作者對(duì)“人們通常會(huì)不假思索地用狹隘的定型觀(guān)念來(lái)概括某個(gè)群體的這一文化歧視現(xiàn)象”表達(dá)了自己的觀(guān)點(diǎn)。作者希望要正確地,客觀(guān)地看待其他人。
【44題詳解】
推理判斷題。由第二段“We like to stereotype people by the color of their skin, the year of their birth or any other related factors.”可知,我們喜歡用膚色、出生年份或其他相關(guān)因素對(duì)人進(jìn)行刻板模式化的描述。所以判斷出人們是通過(guò)觀(guān)察他們明顯的特征來(lái)判斷別人的。故C選項(xiàng)正確。
【45題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段“The rush-to-judgment of people breeds a culture of discrimination (歧視).”可知,人們急于做出判斷,滋生了一種歧視文化。所以文化歧視的出現(xiàn)是因?yàn)槿藗兺ǔ?huì)不假思索地做出判斷。故D選項(xiàng)正確。
【46題詳解】
推理判斷題。由第三段“stereotypes always seem to gain a foothold in the consciousness of our society. But these generalizations do real harm as these myths may become part of the wider population.”可知,刻板印象似乎總是在我們社會(huì)的意識(shí)中站穩(wěn)腳跟。但是這些概括確實(shí)有害,因?yàn)檫@些印象可能會(huì)影響更廣泛的人群。所以判斷出第3段提到了“千禧一代”和“復(fù)古作風(fēng)”的例子來(lái)揭示這些泛泛的概括對(duì)我們的社會(huì)有消極的影響。故B選項(xiàng)正確。
【47題詳解】
推理判斷題。通讀全文可知人們通常會(huì)不假思索地用狹隘的定型觀(guān)念來(lái)概括某個(gè)群體,這一文化歧視現(xiàn)象普遍存在于社會(huì)中,不同的人種被貼上不同的標(biāo)簽。對(duì)他人泛泛和進(jìn)行刻板模式化的描述,對(duì)社會(huì)產(chǎn)生了消極的影響。所以判斷出這篇文章主要關(guān)注的是普遍存在的偏見(jiàn)問(wèn)題。故A選項(xiàng)正確。
【點(diǎn)睛】根據(jù)段落所提供的關(guān)鍵詞是解決推理判斷題的重要方法之一。關(guān)鍵詞隱含著作者要表達(dá)的深層含義。由第三段“stereotypes always seem to gain a foothold in the consciousness of our society. But these generalizations do real harm as these myths may become part of the wider population.中的“foothold”,“harm”“wider population”可知,刻板印象似乎總是在我們社會(huì)的意識(shí)中站穩(wěn)腳跟。但是這些概括確實(shí)有害,因?yàn)檫@些印象可能會(huì)影響更廣泛的人群。社會(huì)是由不同的人組成的,一旦刻板印象在我們社會(huì)的意識(shí)中站穩(wěn)腳跟,影響了更多的人,就會(huì)對(duì)社會(huì)產(chǎn)生消極的影響。所以判斷出第3段被提到的“千禧一代”和“復(fù)古作風(fēng)”的例子就是要揭示這些泛泛的概括對(duì)我們的社會(huì)有消極的影響。故小題3的正確答案為B選項(xiàng)。
(B)

Pere Lachaise Cemetery
Perhaps the world's most famous resting place, Pere Lachaise is the home of Marcel Proust and Oscar Wilde, among scores of other famous people buried here. Singer and 'poet' Jim Morrison is, of course, famously six feet under in this verdant (郁郁蔥蔥的), ambient cemetery as well.

Spain’s Literary Genius
Four centuries ago, the author of one of the greatest comedic characters in world literature took his last breath. Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616), the author of Don Quixote, is to the Spanish what Shakespeare is to the English and Dante is to Italians — a national literary icon.
Cervantes’ book is still appreciated today, hundreds of years after its publication, because it’s a wonderfully truthful comedy. Don Quixote, like human beings generally, has great difficulty distinguishing reality from imagination. Readers may laugh at his strange behavior, but we laugh, we laugh with recognition.
The book records the adventures of Alonso Quijano, an older Spanish gentleman who loves romance novels. In truth, he reads far too many romances, and they have affected his mind. Quijano is so mixed up that he decides that he must become a knight himself. Imagine a comic book fan who decides to dress up as a superhero to fight crime, and I’ll get the picture.
Setting the scene
Alonso Quijano reinvents himself as “Don Quixote de La Mancha”, an aristocratic (貴族的) name that suits his ambition of being a knight. Next, since every knight needs a horse, he finds himself an old one named Rocinante. But Rocinante is not exactly cut out for lite as a knight’s horse. He’s tired from years of farm work. He’s unlikely to be of much help in any fight against an enemy.
The heroes in the romances Quijano reads all had a lady to love. They were highborn, like the knights themselves. Quijano chooses Aldonze Lorenzo, a farmer’s daughter, to be his beloved. She becomes “Dulcinea del Toboso”, or “the sweet woman of Toboso”. How does Aldonza feel about Quijano’s attentions? She doesn’t feel much at all, actually. Aldonza is yet another byproduct of Quijano’s imagination, like so many things.
Finding a sidekick
Now comes Cervantes’ second great creation: Sancho Panza. Once servant in Qiujano’s house Panza is promoted to the role of squire (隨從), because every self-respecting knight needs a squire. Panza has a sensible head on his shoulders, and he is a foil (襯托) to his foolish master.
The pair faces many adventures, but none are as heroic as a knight’s should be. We laugh, rather than cry, as we read. Quijano tries to act on behalf of justice, but he doesn’t often succeed.
Cervantes’ novel inspired a word that sums up Qiujano’s romantic nature: “quixotic”. In English we use the word to describe someone who is idealistic but foolish in pursuit of his ideals. It is a mark of Cervantes’ genius that he was able to identify this trait and personify it using such a great comedic character. We should appreciate him for it on this significant occasion.
51. On what occasion did the author write this review?
A. The 400th anniversary of the publication of Don Quixote.
B. An Italian Poet, Dante’s 800th birth anniversary.
C. An English genius, William Shakespeare’s 400th death anniversary.
D. Miguel de Cervantes’ 400th anniversary of his death.
52. Which role is Alonso Quijano most likely to identify with?
A. Miguel de Cervantes. B. Don Quixote de La Mancha.
C. Dulcinea del Toboso. D. Sancho Panza.
53. What can be inferred from the passage?
A Don Quixote’s failure to distinguish reality from imagination amuses the readers.
B. Quijano manages to bring justice to the world by means of force.
C. Quijano is a Spanish aristocrat with great ambition.
D. Reading romance novel will make people behave in a foolish way.
54. According to the author, readers admire Cervantes and his masterpiece because ________
A. Cervantes is equal to Shakespeare and Dante as a national literary icon
B. Quijano’s adventure is romantic and heroic
C. Cervantes’ has a genius for personifying Quijano’s quixotic nature in a truthful comedy
D. Quijano’s vivid imagination has brought other minor characters to life.

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段第1句內(nèi)容Alonso Quijano reinvents himself as “Don Quixote de La Mancha”, an aristocratic name that suits his ambition of being a knight.(阿隆索·基哈諾將自己重新命名為“堂吉訶德·德·拉曼查”,這是一個(gè)符合他成為一名騎士抱負(fù)的貴族名字) 可推知,他自己認(rèn)為能夠符合自己的角色的名字應(yīng)是唐吉可德。故選B項(xiàng)。
【53題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段末尾內(nèi)容Don Quixote, like human beings generally, has great difficulty distinguishing reality from imagination. Readers may laugh at his strange behavior, but we laugh, we laugh with recognition.(堂吉訶德,像一般人一樣,很難區(qū)分現(xiàn)實(shí)和想象。讀者可能會(huì)嘲笑他奇怪的行為,但我們笑了,我們笑的認(rèn)可)可知,小說(shuō)里的唐吉可德對(duì)于現(xiàn)實(shí)和想象的難以區(qū)分而做出的奇怪行為使讀者發(fā)笑,因此選項(xiàng)A“Don Quixote’s failure to distinguish reality from imagination amuses the readers.(堂吉訶德沒(méi)能把現(xiàn)實(shí)和想象區(qū)分開(kāi),這讓讀者很開(kāi)心)為合理推斷。故選A項(xiàng)。
【54題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章末尾內(nèi)容Cervantes’ novel inspired a word that sums up Qiujano’s romantic nature: “quixotic”. In English we use the word to describe someone who is idealistic but foolish in pursuit of his ideals. It is a mark of Cervantes’ genius that he was able to identify this trait and personify it using such a great comedic character. We should appreciate him for it on this significant occasion.(塞萬(wàn)提斯的小說(shuō)激發(fā)了一個(gè)詞來(lái)概括丘哈諾的浪漫天性:“堂吉訶德式的”。在英語(yǔ)中,我們用這個(gè)詞來(lái)形容一個(gè)理想主義的人,但他在追求自己的理想時(shí)很愚蠢。這是塞萬(wàn)提斯天才的一個(gè)標(biāo)志,他能夠識(shí)別出這個(gè)特點(diǎn),并將它人格化,使用這樣一個(gè)偉大的喜劇人物。在這個(gè)重要的時(shí)刻,我們應(yīng)該感謝他)可知,作者認(rèn)為讀者應(yīng)該因?yàn)樗糜诿枋鲂≌f(shuō)人物的手法“堂吉訶德式”是值得讀者認(rèn)同欽佩的。故選C項(xiàng)。
【點(diǎn)睛】細(xì)節(jié)理解題之尋讀對(duì)比法:
細(xì)節(jié)理解題在做題過(guò)程中只需按照題干關(guān)鍵詞進(jìn)行尋讀,并將選項(xiàng)與原文進(jìn)行對(duì)比,同義表達(dá)即為正確答案。比如文章第1小題:
1.On what occasion did the author write this review?
A. The 400th anniversary of the publication of Don Quixote.
B. An Italian Poet, Dante’s 800th birth anniversary.
C. An English genius, William Shakespeare’s 400th death anniversary.
D. Miguel de Cervantes’ 400th anniversary of his death.
根據(jù)題干定位尋讀到原文第一句內(nèi)容Four centuries ago, the author of one of the greatest comedic characters in world literature took his last breath. ( 400年前,這位世界文學(xué)中最偉大的喜劇人物之一的作者咽下了最后一口氣)可知,首句介紹了寫(xiě)這篇文章的時(shí)機(jī)為這位偉大的小說(shuō)家逝世400周年紀(jì)念,正確選項(xiàng)應(yīng)與該句表達(dá)含義一致。與選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行對(duì)比,因此選項(xiàng)D. Miguel de Cervantes’ 400th anniversary of his death.(米格爾·德·塞萬(wàn)提斯逝世400周年紀(jì)念)為正確答案。

This Way to Dreamland
Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. ____55____ They can seem forgetful and clumsy. They stare off into space and wander by themselves. They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.
But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. ____56____ Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?
So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?
First, understand that some opportunities for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams. ____57____ And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.
It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep. ____58____
Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you are in the daydream zone.
Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.
A. Having interesting things to think about also helps.
B. Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have relativity or Post-it notes.
C. At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.
D. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what’s happening around them.
E. It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm.
F. Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand
