One f ur biggest fears nwadays is that ur kids might smeday get lst in a “sea f technlgy” rather than experiencing the natural wrld. Fear-prducing TV and cmputer games are leading t a serius discnnect between kids and the great utdrs, which will change the wild places f the wrld, its creatures and human health fr the wrse, unless adults get wrking n child’s play.
Each f us has a place in nature we g smetimes, even if it was trn dwn. We cannt be the last generatin t have that place. At this rate, kids wh miss the sense f wnder utdrs will nt grw up t be prtectrs f natural landscapes. “If the decline in parks use cntinues acrss Nrth America, wh will defend parks against encrachment (蠶食)?” asks Richard Luv, authr f Last Child in the Wds.
Withut having a nature experience, kids, can turn ut just fine, but they are missing ut a huge enrichment f their lives. That applies t everything frm their physical health and mental health, t stress levels, creativity and cgnitive (認知的) skills. Experts predict mdern kids will have prer health than their parents — and they say a lack f utside play is surely part f it; research suggests that kids d better academically in schls with a nature cmpnent and that play in nature fsters (培養(yǎng)) leadership by the smartest, nt by the tughest. Even a tiny utdr experience can create wnder in a child. The three-year-ld turning ver his first rck realizes he is nt alne in the wrld. A clump f trees n the radside can be the whle universe in his eyes. We really need t value that mre.
Kids are nt respnsible. They are ver-prtected and frightened. It is dangerus ut there frm time t time, but repetitive stress frm cmputers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhd rite (儀式) f passage.
Everyne, frm develpers, t schls and utdr citizens, shuld help regain fr ur kids sme f the freedm and jy f explring, taking friendship in fields and wds that cement lve, respect and need fr landscape. As parents, we shuld devte sme f ur energies t taking ur kids int nature. This culd yet be ur greatest cause.

Taste is such a subjective matter that we dn’t usually cnduct preference tests fr fd. The mst yu can say abut anyne’s preference is that it’s ne persn’s pinin. But because the tw big cla cmpanies-Cca-Cla and Pepsi Cla-are marketed s aggressively, we’ve wndered hw big a rle taste preference actually plays in brand lyalty. We set up a taste test that challenged peple wh identified themselves as either Cca-cla r Pepsi fans: Find yur brand in a blind tasting.
We invited staff vlunteers wh had a strng liking fr either Cca-Cla Classic r Pepsi, Diet Cke, r Diet Pepsi. These were peple wh thught they’d have n truble telling their brand frm the ther brand.
We eventually lcated 19 regular cla drinkers and 27 diet cla drinkers. Then we fed them with fur unidentified samples f cla ne at a time, regular clas fr the ne grup, diet versins fr the ther. We asked them t tell us whether each sample was Cke r Pepsi; then we analyzed the recrds statistically t cmpare the participants’ chices with what mere guesswrk culd have accmplished.
Getting all fur samples right was a tugh test, but nt t tugh, we thught, fr peple wh believed they culd recgnize their brand. In the end, nly 7 ut f 19 regular cla drinkers crrectly identified their brand f chice in all fur trials. The diet-cla drinkers did a little wrse-nly 7 ut f 27 identified all fur samples crrectly.
Bth grups did better than chance wuld predict, but nearly half the participants in each grup made the wrng chice tw r mre times. Tw peple gt all fur samples wrng. Overall, half the participants did abut as well n the last rund f tasting as n the first, s tiredness, r taste burnut, was nt a factr. Our preference test results suggest that nly a few Pepsi participants and Cke fans may really be able t tell their favrite brand by taste and price.

“I dn’t want t write a stry abut girls! I dn’t knw anything abut girls,” Luisa May Alctt tld her publisher, Mr. Niles. But she was desperate fr mney. She seemed t be the nly ne in her family wh culd make any mney. Niles had asked her t write abut smething she knew, instead f the rmantic adventure stries she had been writing. “S I pld away,” Alctt wrte, “thugh I dn’t enjy this srt f thing.” It was 1867, and the hrrible Civil War was ver. Nw Alctt culd turn her energy t making mney.
Alctt wrte a simple stry f life in her family, their pillw fights n Saturday nights and the amateur (業(yè)余的) plays they perfrmed. “Our experiences may prve interesting, thugh I dubt it.” (“Gd jke,” she wrte years later.) Her bk described her days grwing up with fur sisters in a family that had n mney. She sketched (勾畫) a lving mther wh tk time t be interested in each child, and she tld f the death f a belved sister. She prtrayed her family and friends in her bk Little Wmen. Finally, in July f 1868, she finished writing. With a sigh and a headache, she sent ff all 102 handwritten pages f her bk.
Niles thught the bk was dull, and s did Alctt. But when she received her cpies f the bk, Alctt thught it seemed better than expected. “Nt a bit sensatinal,” she wrte, “but simple and true. We really lived mst f it.” Niles asked sme girls t read Little Wmen, and they lved it.
In three mnths, all the cpies f Little Wmen had sld. It was already time t print mre bks! Niles thught he culd sell three r fur hundred mre cpies. “An hnest publisher and a lucky authr made a dull bk int a glden egg fr an ugly duckling,” Alctt wrte in 1885. Later, with a great sigh f relief, she was able t write, “Paid ff all the debts! Nw I feel that I culd die in peace. If my head hlds ut, I’ll d all I nce hped t d.”

If a business wants t sell its prducts internatinally, it had better d sme market research first. This is a lessn that sme large American crpratins have learned in the hard way.
What’s in the name?
Smetimes the prblem is the name. When General Mtrs intrduced its Chevy Nva int Latin America, it verlked the fact that Nva in Spanish means “It desn’t g”. Sure enugh, the Chevy Nva never went anywhere in Latin America.
Translatin prblems
Smetimes it is the slgan that desn’t wrk. N cmpany knws this better than Pepsi-Cla, with its “Cme alive with Pepsi!” campaign. The campaign was s successful in the United States that Pepsi translated its slgan literally (按字面意思的) fr its internatinal campaign. As it turned ut, the translatins were nt quite right. Pepsi was begging Germans t “Cme ut f the grave” and telling the Chinese that “Pepsi brings yur ancestrs back frm the grave.”
A picture is wrth a thusand wrds
Other times, the prblem invlves packaging. A picture f a smiling baby has helped sell cuntless jars f Gerber baby fd. When Gerber started selling baby fd in Africa, they used the same packaging as in the US, with the smiling baby n the label. Later they learned that in African cuntries, the picture n the jar shws what the jar has in it, fr many peple there can’t read.
Twist f fate
Even culture and religius factrs and pure cincidence can be invlved. Thrn McAn shes have a Thrn McAn “signature” inside. T peple in Bangladesh, which is a Muslim cuntry, this signature lked like Arabic script fr the wrd Allah. In that cuntry, feet are cnsidered unclean, and Muslims felt the cmpany was ffending Gd’s name by having peple walk n it.
20．Frm the text we learn that ______.
A．Chevy Nva was brught in Latin America
B．General Mtrs did the best market research f all cmpanies
C．the “Cme alive with Pepsi” campaign wrked well in the US

The turning pint f my life was my decisin t give up a prmising business career and study music. My parents, althugh sympathetic, and sharing my lve f music, disapprved f it as a prfessin. This was understandable in view f the family backgrund. My grandfather had taught music fr nearly frty years. Thugh much belved and respected in the cmmunity, he earned barely enugh t prvide fr his large family. As a cnsequence f this example in the family, the very mentin f music as a prfessin carried with it a picture f a risky existence with uncertain financial rewards. My parents insisted n cllege instead f a music schl, and t cllege I went-quite happily, as I remember, fr althugh I lved my vilin and spent mst f my spare time practicing, I had many ther interests.
Befre my graduatin frm cllege, the family met with severe financial reverses and I felt it my duty t leave cllege and take a jb. Thus was I launched upn a business career—which I always think f as the wasted years. Nw I d nt fr a mment mean t disparage (貶低) business. My whle pint is that it was nt fr me. I went int it fr mney, and aside frm the satisfactin f being able t help the family, mney is all I gt ut f it. It was nt enugh. I felt that life was passing me by.
I cntinued t make mney, and finally, bit by bit, accumulated enugh t enable me t g abrad t study music. I resigned frm my psitin and, feeling like a man released frm jail, sailed fr Eurpe. I stayed fur years, wrked harder than I had ever dreamed f wrking befre and enjyed every minute f it. “Enjyed” is t mild a wrd. I walked n air. I really lived. I was a free man and I was ding what I lved t d and what I was meant t d.
If I had stayed in business, I might be a cmparatively wealthy man tday, but I d nt believe I wuld have made a success f living. I wuld have given up all thse inner satisfactins that mney can never buy.

Mnarch butterflies migrate (遷徙) by the millins each year, making the trip frm nrthern areas f the Cntinent t Califrnia and Mexic and back. Because mst butterflies nly live fr a few weeks t a few mnths, it takes several generatins f butterflies t cmplete the migratin
As mnarch butterflies are a threatened species with their ppulatin numbers in decline, Patrick Guerra, an assistant prfessr at the University f Cincinnati, and his clleagues wanted t see what types f envirnmental stress might be linked t their decline.
“We use mnarch butterflies as a mdel system t understand lng-distance animal migratin. Our gal was t understand hw envirnmental stress, such as different types f stress caused by urbanizatin, impacts animal migratry phenmena,” Guerra says.
Fr their study, researchers cnducted lab studies where they reprduced the effects f artificial light pllutin with butterflies using a flight simulatr (模擬器).
“The flight simulatr is like a butterfly treadmill (跑步機), in which we can study the flight behavir f insects in cntrlled, experimental cnditins. We first tested if mnarchs treated a single, artificial light surce as if it were the actual sun during the day,” Guerra says.
“Once we established that they did, we then tested hw the mnarchs wuld behave when expsed t this same artificial light surce during their night.”
Butterflies stayed quiet and unmving when they were first placed in the flight simulatr in the dark. But as sn as scientists turned n the light, they started flying. The light made them believe that night was day and this can cause them t fly lnger at night r start flying t early.
The study has fund that the internal circadian (晝夜) clck f butterflies functins nrmally when they are expsed t natural day night lighting cycles, but artificial light, such as a streetlight, at night can thrw ff a mnarch butterfly’s internal cmpass. It can affect their circadian rhythms, which can make the mnarch butterflies get lst when they try t fly the next day. This shws withut darkness, the circadian clck f butterflies cannt functin prperly.
“When expsed t artificial light, the light can perturb the nrmal functining f the animal’s circadian clck,” Guerra says. “Light pllutin, particularly nighttime light pllutin, causes animals t experience light at a time when they are nt suppsed t, e.g., at night when they are nrmally in the dark, and are at rest. Expsure t such light can prevent the behavir and bilgical prcess f animals which they rely n r that are regulated by the circadian clck.”
30．Why did the researchers carry ut the study?
A．T lk fr the reasn fr butterflies’ migratin
B．T test what actin shuld be taken t prtect butterflies.
C．T knw abut the circadian rhythms f migratry animals.
D．T find ut hw the envirnmental stress affects animal migratin.
31．What can we learn frm the lab studies?
A．The mnarchs mistk a single, artificial light as the actual sun during the day.
B．The Butterflies mved quietly when first placed in the flight simulatr in the dark
C．The mnarchs gt lst in directin when the light in the flight simulatr was n.
D．The Butterflies were never at rest when they are expsed t the light.
32．What cnclusin can be drawn frm the experiment?
A．Natural light cntributes much t pllutin
B．Migratry animals ften lse their way,
C．Light pllutin is increasingly serius
D．Darkness is vital t migratry animals.
33．What dcs the underlined wrd “perturb” in Paragraph 9 prbably mean?
A．StpB．Disturb.C．ReflectD．Enhance.
34．What culd be the best title fr the passage?
A．Light pllutin can interfere with butterfly migratin
B．Effrts are made t save the endangered mnarch butterflies.
C．Butterflies’ circadian cycle is revealed in research.
D．Human activity impacts the rest f nature negatively.
Chsing a majr is ne f the biggest decisins yu’ll make while yu’re in cllege. It’s imprtant that yu make yur chice cnfidently and after sme cnsideratin
There’s Nthing Wrng With Being “Undecided”. Between 20% and 50% f cllege freshmen enter schl withut a declared majr. Keep in mind that there’s nthing wrng with remaining “undecided” r “undeclared” fr the first few years f yur cllege career. Yu can use this time t decide what yu’re interested in. Als, keep in mind that even if yu d declare a majr yur freshman year, yu can always change yur mind. Abut ne-third f first-time cllege students change their majr within three years. Even mre, ver 60% f cllege graduates say they wuld g back and change their majr if they culd, primarily t pursue their passin areas and expand their jb pprtunities.
Explre Yur Passins and Abilities. Set aside sme time t really explre yur passins and take stck f yur unique abilities. With an undeclared majr t start, yu can take time t really delve deep int what interests yu. Jin clubs arund campus t cnnect with fellw students wh share yur interests. Take electives in areas that yu might nt therwise have an pprtunity t experience. Fr example, when else might yu be able t take a petry curse r an art histry seminar? Cllege is the perfect time t step ut f yur bx and expand yur hrizns. As a student with an undeclared majr, yu’re uniquely psitined t d just that.
Cnsider Emplyment Opprtunities. While it’s imprtant t chse a majr that interests yu, it’s als critical t chse a cllege majr that will prvide yu with future emplyment pprtunities. Statistically, the cllege majrs that tend t have the mst earning pwer are in STEM. These majrs might include health sciences r cmputer engineering. Business majrs can als expect a higher than average earning ptential. That being said, emplyers frequently recgnize that graduates wh majred in the liberal arts have valuable sft skills, t, including strng cmmunicatin, written and verbal skills, and leadership abilities. The key is t pick a majr that will be marketable fr the career yu’re interested in pursuing.
Talk t an Academic Advisr. If yu need a little guidance, set up an appintment with an academic advisr r career cunselrs. Career develpment cunselrs and academic advisrs can help yu narrw dwn yur ptins. If yu have an idea f what classes yu’ve mst enjyed and what career paths are mst appealing t yu, wrking with ne f these prfessinals might be the final push yu need t pick a majr.

When yu feel thankful fr things yu’ve received r smething that’s happened, that’s gratitude. It’s impssible t feel it in a vacuum; thers are always respnsible, whether they’re lved nes, strangers r a higher pwer. “Gratitude is hw yu relate t thers, when yu see yurself in cnnectin with things larger than yurself” says Willibald Ruch, a psychlgy prfessr at the University f Zurich.
Nwadays, t many peple dn’t stp t appreciate what they have, and much less express gratitude. Our instant-satisfactin lifestyle may be t blame. “With cmmercial and scial media, everything is speeding the yunger generatin t make them feel that they’re the centre f the universe,” says Tamik Zablith, funder f the Lndn-based etiquette cnsulting firm Minding Manners. “If it’s all abut them, why thank thers?”
Hwever, studies have shwn that peple wh express gratitude increase their happiness levels, lwer their bld-pressure levels, get better-quality sleep, imprve their relatinships, have a psitive impact n their depressin levels and are less affected by pain. And gratitude’s psitive effects are lng-lasting. Canadian researchers fund that peple wh wrte letters f thanks r perfrmed gd deeds fr a mere six-week perid were able t imprve their mental health, decrease their bdily pain and feel mre energetic fr up t six mnths.
What abut gratitude recipients wh receive messages f thanks? Research has cnfirmed that the recipients experience psitive emtins when they’re singled ut. “Thse are happy surprises—yu may nt be expecting the favur t be returned,” says J-Ann Tsang, assciate prfessr f psychlgy at Baylr University. When smene is the recipient f unexpected kindness r gratitude, he’s mre likely t return the favur r pass kindness n. One study fund that when smene is thanked, it mre than dubles his chances f being helpful again, prbably because he enjys feeling scially valued. Zablith likes the reactin she gt when she rewarded a stranger wh held the dr pen fr her at a cffee shp with his rightful place in line in frnt f her. “The lk n his face was shck,” says Zablith. “He wuld be nicer t the cashier, the next persn he wuld see at wrk. There’s a trickle-dwn effect.”
The give-and-take f gratitude can als deepen relatinships. Studies shw that when yur partner regularly expresses gratitude, making yu feel appreciated, yu’re mre likely t return appreciative, grateful feelings and stay cmmitted t each ther. One fund that sharing gratitude with a partner makes yu feel mre respnsible fr his well-being and mre satisfied with the relatinship. “Yu feel clser t the ther persn, and they feel clser t yu, Tsang says. “That creates an upward spiral.’

2．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第六段的“A glance at huge nline jb sites isn’t usually the best way t find a jb.(瀏覽大型求職網(wǎng)站通常不是找工作的最佳途徑) ”可知，在大型求職網(wǎng)站找工作通常不是最好的求職方式。C. Searching nline is the mst effective way t lk fr a jb. (在網(wǎng)上尋找工作是求職最有效的方法)和以上說法相反。故選C。
3．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的“If yu’ve gt plenty f interviews but n return calls r jb ffers, take a lk at yur interviewing skills.(如果你有很多面試機會，但沒有回電或工作邀請，那就審視一下你的面試技巧吧)”可知，如果面試很多次都沒有回電，也沒有工作機會，那么要審視一下自己的面試技能。故選A。
4．推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的“Staying in tuch with family, friends, prfessinal netwrks and fellw jb seekers can help yu t maintain a psitive attitude and a sense f perspective.(與你的家人、朋友、網(wǎng)絡上的專業(yè)認識以及其他求職者保持聯(lián)系可以幫助你保持積極的態(tài)度和觀點)”可推知，保持良好的社交網(wǎng)絡可能對找工作有幫助，因為它能讓你保持積極的態(tài)度和觀點。D. yur scial netwrk may help yu a lt in yur jb hunt (你的社交網(wǎng)絡可能在求職中幫你很多)符合以上推測。故選D。

【導語】這是一篇議論文。文章表達了作者對于現(xiàn)在的孩子們?nèi)狈ψ匀惑w驗的擔憂。
5．主旨大意題。根據(jù)第二段中“At this rate, kids wh miss the sense f wnder utdrs will nt grw up t be prtectrs f natural landscapes. (這樣下去，那些失去了戶外奇妙感覺的孩子長大后就不會成為自然景觀的保護者)”以及“If the decline in parks use cntinues acrss Nrth America, wh will defend parks against encrachment (蠶食)? (如果整個北美公園使用率持續(xù)下降，誰來保護公園不受侵蝕？)”可知，本段中心思想是期望孩子們發(fā)展成自然的保護者。故選D項。
6．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中“Withut having a nature experience, kids, can turn ut just fine, but they are missing ut a huge enrichment f their lives. That applies t everything frm their physical health and mental health, t stress levels, creativity and cgnitive (認知的) skills. (沒有大自然的經(jīng)歷，孩子們可以過得很好，但他們錯過了豐富他們生活的巨大機會。這有利于他們的身體健康和心理健康、壓力水平、創(chuàng)造力和認知技能等方方面面)”可知，沒有經(jīng)歷過自然的孩子身體和精神都不太健康。故選C項。
7．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中“It is dangerus ut there frm time t time, but repetitive stress frm cmputers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhd rite (儀式) f passage. (外面的環(huán)境有時很危險，但來自電腦的重復壓力正在取代折斷手臂，成為童年的必經(jīng)之路)”可知，作者認為兒童骨折是他們成長過程中的自然經(jīng)歷。故選B項。
8．詞句猜測題。劃線詞句后文“As parents, we shuld devte sme f ur energies t taking ur kids int nature. (作為父母，我們應該花一些精力帶我們的孩子進入大自然)”說明父母應該把孩子帶進大自然，增強孩子對大自然的熱愛，從而推知劃線詞句“Everyne, frm develpers, t schls and utdr citizens, shuld help regain fr ur kids sme f the freedm and jy f explring, taking friendship in fields and wds that cement lve, respect and need fr landscape. (每個人，從開發(fā)商，到學校和戶外市民，都應該幫助我們的孩子重獲探索的自由和樂趣，在田野和樹林中建立友誼，cement對自然風景的熱愛、尊重和需求)”其中劃線詞匯應為“增強”的意思。故選A項。
9．推理判斷題。通讀全文，尤其根據(jù)第一段中“One f ur biggest fears nwadays is that ur kids might smeday get lst in a ‘sea f technlgy’ rather than experiencing the natural wrld. (我們現(xiàn)在最大的恐懼之一是，我們的孩子可能有一天會迷失在‘科技的海洋’中，而不是去體驗自然世界)”可推知，作者表達了他對孩子們?nèi)狈ψ匀惑w驗的擔憂。故選C項。

【導語】這是一篇說明文。文章用偏好測試證明了味覺偏好是高度主觀的這樣一個事實。
10．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段中“we’ve wndered hw big a rle taste preference actually plays in brand lyalty. We set up a taste test that challenged peple wh identified themselves as either Cca-cla r Pepsi fans: Find yur brand in a blind tasting. (我們想知道口味偏好在品牌忠誠度中究竟扮演了多大的角色。我們設(shè)立了一個品嘗測試，挑戰(zhàn)那些自稱為可口可樂或百事可樂粉絲的人：在盲品中找到你的品牌)”可知在自稱為可口可樂或百事可樂粉絲的人中做偏好測試，讓他們盲品，看是否能夠通過口味偏好找到自己的品牌。由此可知，做偏好測試是為了找出偏好在人喝飲料中起著什么作用；故選C項。
11．推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段中“In the end, nly 7 ut f 19 regular cla drinkers crrectly identified their brand f chice in all fur trials. The diet-cla drinkers did a little wrse-nly 7 ut f 27 identified all fur samples crrectly. (最后，在所有四項試驗中，19名經(jīng)常喝可樂的人中只有7人正確地說出了他們選擇的品牌。飲用無糖可樂的人表現(xiàn)稍差，27個樣本中只有7個正確識別了所有四個樣本)”可推知可口可樂和百事可樂的口味差別并不大，因為只有少部分的人正確說出了他們選擇的品牌；故選D項。
12．推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段中“But because the tw big cla cmpanies-Cca-Cla and Pepsi Cla-are marketed s aggressively (但因為兩大可樂公司——可口可樂和百事可樂——他們的營銷非常激烈)”可知可口可樂和百事可樂這兩個公司的營銷手段非常激烈，故推知他們之間的競爭也是非常強烈的；故選B項。
13．詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文章最后一段中“Bth grups did better than chance wuld predict, but nearly half the participants in each grup made the wrng chice tw r mre times. Tw peple gt all fur samples wrng. Overall, half the participants did abut as well n the last rund f tasting as n the first, s tiredness, r taste burnut, was nt a factr. (兩組的表現(xiàn)都比隨機預測的要好，但每組中有近一半的參與者兩次或兩次以上做出了錯誤的選擇。有兩個人把四個樣本都搞錯了?？偟膩碚f，一半的參與者在最后一輪品嘗時的表現(xiàn)和第一輪一樣好，所以疲勞或味覺burnut不是一個因素)”可知參與者最后一輪的表現(xiàn)和第一輪一樣，故他們并沒有因為品嘗過多而造成疲勞或者味覺的耗盡而影響表現(xiàn)。由此可知，taste burnut是指味覺疲勞，即劃線單詞“burnut”的意思是“因過度使用而不能工作的”；故選D項。
14．推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段“Taste is such a subjective matter that we dn’t usually cnduct preference tests fr fd. (口味是一個如此主觀的事情，我們通常不會對食物進行偏好測試)”可知文章開頭提出“口味是一個如此主觀的事情”這樣一個觀點，文章后面段落用一個偏好測試來證明了這一觀點，全文也都是圍繞這一觀點在進行闡述；故選項C“shw that taste preference is highly subjective (表明味覺偏好是高度主觀的)”是本篇文章的寫作目的；故選A項。

【導語】本文是一篇記敘文。講述的是一個誠實的出版商Niles和一個幸運的作者Alct把一本枯燥的書從一只丑小鴨變成金蛋的故事。
15．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中“Alctt wrte a simple stry f life in her family, their pillw fights n Saturday nights and the amateur plays they perfrmed. “Our experiences may prve interesting, thugh I dubt it.” (“Gd jke,” she wrte years later.) (奧爾科特寫了一個簡單的故事，關(guān)于她的家庭生活，他們在周六晚上的枕頭大戰(zhàn)，以及他們表演的業(yè)余戲劇。“我們的經(jīng)歷可能會很有趣，盡管我對此表示懷疑?！?“好笑話，”她多年后寫道。))”可知，她的書主要描寫了一些有趣的家庭瑣事，所以有趣可以用來描述奧爾科特的書。故選B項。
16．細節(jié)理解題。由文章前兩段可判斷出這些事件發(fā)生的先后順序。根據(jù)第一段中““I dn’t want t write a stry abut girls! I dn’t knw anything abut girls,” Luisa May Alctt tld her publisher, Mr. Niles. (“我不想寫一個關(guān)于女孩的故事!”我對女孩一無所知，”路易莎·梅·奧爾科特(Luisa May Alctt)對她的出版商奈爾斯說)”以及“Niles had asked her t write abut smething she knew, instead f the rmantic adventure stries she had been writing. “S I pld away,” Alctt wrte, “thugh I dn’t enjy this srt f thing.”(奈爾斯讓她寫一些她知道的東西，而不是她一直在寫的浪漫冒險故事。奧爾科特寫道：“所以我埋頭苦干，盡管我不喜歡這種事?！?”可推知，ceb順序是正常的；再根據(jù)第二段中“Alctt wrte a simple stry f life in her family, their pillw fights n Saturday nights and the amateur plays they perfrmed.(奧爾科特寫了一個簡單的故事，關(guān)于她的家庭生活，他們在周六晚上的枕頭大戰(zhàn)，以及他們表演的業(yè)余戲劇)”和“She prtrayed her family and friends in her bk Little Wmen. Finally, in July f 1868, she finished writing.(她在《小婦人》一書中描繪了她的家人和朋友。終于，在1868年7月，她完成了寫作)”可知，奧爾科特和她的姐妹們一起表演戲劇是小時候的事，所以最先發(fā)生，所以d項是最先發(fā)生，然后是奧爾科特剛開始時是寫浪漫的冒險故事，之后奈爾斯對奧爾科特的工作不滿意，讓她寫女孩的故事，最后奧爾科特開始寫《小婦人》，所以是d, c, e, b, a的順序。故選D項。
17．推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“Niles thught the bk was dull, and s did Alctt.(奈爾斯認為這本書枯燥乏味，奧爾科特也這么認為)”Niles認為這本書枯燥乏味，可推知，對她的作品是不滿意的。故選C項。
18．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中“But she was desperate fr mney. She seemed t be the nly ne in her family wh culd make any mney.(但她急需錢。她似乎是家里唯一能賺錢的人)”可推知，奧爾科特從事寫作工作很大程度上是為了賺錢。故選C項。
19．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“In three mnths, all the cpies f Little Wmen had sld. It was already time t print mre bks! Niles thught he culd sell three r fur hundred mre cpies. “An hnest publisher and a lucky authr made a dull bk int a glden egg fr an ugly duckling,” Alctt wrte in 1885. Later, with a great sigh f relief, she was able t write, “Paid ff all the debts! Nw I feel that I culd die in peace. If my head hlds ut, I’ll d all I nce hped t d.”(三個月后，《小婦人》就賣光了。是時候印刷更多的書了!奈爾斯認為他還能多賣出三四百本。奧爾科特在1885年寫道：“一個誠實的出版商和一個幸運的作者把一本枯燥的書變成了一只丑小鴨的金蛋?！焙髞?，她終于松了一口氣，寫下：“還清了所有的債務!現(xiàn)在我覺得我可以平靜地死去。如果我的腦袋還在，我就會做我曾經(jīng)希望做的一切?！?”可知，當《小婦人》賣完后，Alctt也還清了她所有的債務。故選A項。

23．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“If a business wants t sell its prducts internatinally, it had better d sme market research first. This is a lessn that sme large American crpratins have learned in the hard way.”（如果一個企業(yè)想要在國際上銷售其產(chǎn)品，最好先做一些市場調(diào)查。這是一些美國大公司在經(jīng)歷了慘痛的教訓后得到的教訓。）由此可推知，這篇文章的目標讀者是那些想要在國外推銷產(chǎn)品的企業(yè)。故選D。
24．主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段“If a business wants t sell its prducts internatinally, it had better d sme market research first.”（如果一個企業(yè)想要在國際上銷售其產(chǎn)品，最好先做一些市場調(diào)查。）結(jié)合文章主要以幾個實例向我們展示一些商戰(zhàn)中的教訓，告知我們想要拓展國際市場，我們首先一定要做一些市場調(diào)查。由此可推知，本文講述了市場調(diào)查的重要性。故選B。

25．推理判斷題。由文章第一段第六句“As a cnsequence f this example in the family, the very mentin f music as a prfessin carried with it a picture f a risky existence with uncertain financial rewards. ”（作為這個家庭例子的結(jié)果，只要一提到音樂這個職業(yè)，人們就會聯(lián)想到一種充滿風險和不確定性的存在。）可知音樂這個職業(yè)應該是不穩(wěn)定的和具有經(jīng)濟挑戰(zhàn)的事業(yè)。故選C項。
26．事實細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段第一句“Befre my graduatin frm cllege, the family met with severe financial reverses and I felt it my duty t leave cllege and take a jb.（在我大學畢業(yè)之前，我的家庭遭遇到了嚴重的經(jīng)濟逆轉(zhuǎn)，因此我覺得我有責任離開大學去參加工作。）可知作者在畢業(yè)之前輟學了。故選B項。

29．主旨大意題。根據(jù)第四段第一句“If I had stayed in business, I might be a cmparatively wealthy man tday, but I d nt believe I wuld have made a success f living.”（如果我繼續(xù)做生意，我或許現(xiàn)在是一個相當富有的人，但是我相信我不會取得生活的成功。）可知作者想要傳達的觀點是做自己喜歡的事情才是生活的成功這個道理。故選A項。

Our gal was t understand hw envirnmental stress, such as different types f stress caused by urbanizatin, impacts animal migratry phenmena,(我們使用帝王蝶作為一個模型系統(tǒng)來理解動物的遠距離遷徙。我們的目標是了解環(huán)境壓力，如城市化造成的不同類型的壓力，如何影響動物遷徙現(xiàn)象)”可知，研究人員進行研究是為了了解環(huán)境壓力如何影響動物遷徙。故選D項。
31．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段“Butterflies stayed quiet and unmving when they were first placed in the flight simulatr in the dark. But as sn as scientists turned n the light, they started flying. The light made them believe that night was day and this can cause them t fly lnger at night r start flying t early.(當蝴蝶第一次被放置在黑暗中的飛行模擬器中時，它們保持安靜，一動不動。但當科學家們一打開燈，它們就開始飛行。光線使它們相信夜晚是白天，這可能會導致它們在夜間飛行時間更長或過早開始飛行)”可知，帝王蝶會將單一的人造光誤以為是白天的太陽。故選A項。
32．推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“This shws withut darkness, the circadian clck f butterflies cannt functin prperly.(這表明，沒有黑暗，蝴蝶的生物鐘就不能正常工作)”以及最后一段“Light pllutin, particularly nighttime light pllutin, causes animals t experience light at a time when they are nt suppsed t, e.g., at night when they are nrmally in the dark, and are at rest. Expsure t such light can prevent the behavir and bilgical prcess f animals which they rely n r that are regulated by the circadian clck.(光污染，特別是夜間光污染，會導致動物在不應該的時間體驗光，例如，在它們通常處于黑暗中和處于休息狀態(tài)的夜間。暴露在這種光下可以阻止它們依賴的或受由生物鐘調(diào)節(jié)的動物的行為和生物過程)”可知，光污染會影響動物遷徙，黑暗對于遷徙動物至關(guān)重要。故選D項。
33．詞句猜測題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“night lighting cycles, but artificial light, such as a streetlight, at night can thrw ff a mnarch butterfly’s internal cmpass.(夜間照明周期，但夜間的人造光，如街燈，會打亂帝王蝶的內(nèi)部指南針)”以及最后一段“When expsed t artificial light, the light can perturb the nrmal functining f the animal’s circadian clck,(當暴露在人造光下時，光會perturb動物生物鐘的正常功能)”可知，夜間的人造光會打亂帝王蝶的生物鐘，干擾動物生物鐘的正常功能，推測劃線單詞表示“干擾”，與disturb同義。故選B項。
34．主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段“Mnarch butterflies migrate by the millins each year, making the trip frm nrthern areas f the Cntinent t Califrnia and Mexic and back.(每年有數(shù)百萬只帝王蝶從歐洲大陸的北部地區(qū)遷徙到加利福尼亞和墨西哥，然后再遷徙回來)”、倒數(shù)第二段“The study has fund that the internal circadian clck f butterflies functins nrmally when they are expsed t natural day: night lighting cycles, but artificial light, such as a streetlight, at night can thrw ff a mnarch butterfly’s internal cmpass.(這項研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，當蝴蝶暴露在自然白天時，它們的內(nèi)部生物鐘正常工作：夜間照明周期，但夜間的人造光，如街燈，會打亂帝王蝶的內(nèi)部指南針)”以及文章內(nèi)容可知，本文主要介紹了人造光會干擾帝王蝶的遷徙，所以“光污染會干擾蝴蝶的遷徙”可以作為文章標題。故選A項。

38．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“If yu need a little guidance, set up an appintment with an academic advisr r career cunselrs.

41．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段中的““With cmmercial and scial media, everything is speeding the yunger generatin t make them feel that they’re the centre f the universe,” says Tamik Zablith, funder f the Lndn-based etiquette cnsulting firm Minding Manners. “If it’s all abut them, why thank thers?”(“隨著商業(yè)和社交媒體的發(fā)展，一切都在加速年輕一代的發(fā)展，讓他們覺得自己是宇宙的中心，如果一切都是為了自己，為什么要感謝別人？”倫敦禮儀咨詢公司的創(chuàng)始人塔米子·扎布里斯說。)”可知，如今的年輕一代認為自己就是宇宙的中心，一切都是為了自己，所以對別人的感恩就更少了。由此可知，是人們的這種“自我中心論”使得對別人的感恩更少了。故選C項。
42．推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段“Hwever, studies have shwn that peple wh express gratitude increase their happiness levels, lwer their bld-pressure levels, get better-quality sleep, imprve their relatinships, have a psitive impact n their depressin levels and are less affected by pain. And gratitude’s psitive effects are lng-lasting. (然而，研究表明，表達感激之情的人會增加他們的快樂，降低他們的血壓，獲得更好的睡眠質(zhì)量，改善他們的人際關(guān)系，對他們的抑郁有積極的影響，并且更少受到痛苦的影響。感恩的積極影響是持久的。)”可知，表達感激之情能增加快樂，降低血壓，睡眠質(zhì)量更好，能改善人際關(guān)系，對抑郁也有積極的影響，這些都是表達感激之情帶來的積極影響，而這種影響是長期的。由此可知，作者使用加拿大研究人員們的發(fā)現(xiàn)就是為了證明這一點。故選D項。
43．推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段中的“When smene is the recipient f unexpected kindness r gratitude, he’s mre likely t return the favur r pass kindness n.(當一個人收到意想不到的善意或感激時，他更有可能回報這種恩惠或?qū)⑸埔鈧鬟f下去。)”可知，如果給予者感到被感激，善意就可能傳遞下去。故選B項。
44．主旨大意題。閱讀文章內(nèi)容可知，文章第一段介紹了感激的定義；第二段提出如今很多人不會去感激別人；第三段提到了向別人表達感激之情能增加自己的快樂，降低血壓，改善睡眠和人際關(guān)系等；第四段提到了接受別人的感激和善意的人更有可能去回報這種善意或?qū)⑸埔鈧鬟f下去；最后一段提到了互相感激也能加深彼此之間的關(guān)系。由此可推知，本文主要介紹了感恩給人們帶來好處，有益于人們的幸福。B項“Gratitude benefits peple’s well-being(感恩有益于人們的幸福。)”最能概括本文內(nèi)容。故選B項。

【導語】這是一篇應用文。文章主要介紹了愛丁堡五個的節(jié)日。
45．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)The Edinburgh Internatinal Festival部分的“Yu need tickets fr mst f the festival’s events, which take place in theaters arund the city.(電影節(jié)的大部分活動都在全市的劇院舉行，你需要買票)”可知，The Edinburgh Internatinal Festival的活動不能免費享受。故選C。
46．推理判斷題。根據(jù)The Edinburgh Internatinal Bk Festival部分的“Beginning in 1983, this is the largest bk festival in the wrld and takes place every year in Charltte Square Gardens in the center f Edinburgh.(從1983年開始，這是世界上最大的圖書節(jié)，每年在愛丁堡市中心的夏洛特廣場花園舉行)”推知，喜歡閱讀的Tmmy最有可能去Charltte Square Gardens。故選D。
47．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)The Edinburgh Festival Fringe部分的“G t the Ryal Mile, ne f Edinburgh’s main streets, t watch perfrmers such as magicians, acrbats(雜技演員), and cmedians.(你可以去愛丁堡的主要街道之一皇家英里街(Ryal Mile)觀看魔術(shù)師、雜技演員和喜劇演員等表演)”可知，The Edinburgh Festival Fringe邀請了魔術(shù)師、雜技演員和喜劇演員等進行表演。C項“只有受邀的藝術(shù)家才被允許在這個節(jié)日上表演”不符合以上說法。故選C。
48．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)The Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival部分的“Artists perfrm street theater, dance and circus shws in amazing cstumes. Everyne can enjy the music and dance perfrmances.(藝術(shù)家們穿著華麗的服裝表演街頭戲劇、舞蹈和馬戲團表演。每個人都可以欣賞音樂和舞蹈表演)”可知，在The Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival人們可以觀看戲劇、舞蹈和馬戲。B項“魔術(shù)表演”沒有提到。故選B。
49．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“Edinburgh is the wrld’s “festival city”. The city hlds 12 festivals thrughut the year, half f which are celebrated during the mnths f July and August. Hundreds f thusands f peple visit the Scttish capital during the summer t enjy the very best f art and literature.
