答案與解析
【語篇導讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了合理儲蓄的方法,在四個方面對怎樣存錢進行了詳細闡述。
1.D 設空處下文“Therefre,yu can save fr all yur shrt- and lng-term gals.”為結(jié)果,則設空處應填寫原因,D項與設空處后文構(gòu)成因果關系,同時與設空處上文內(nèi)容呼應,并點名文章主題,故選D項。
2.C 設空處上文“The first step t start saving mney is figuring ut hw much yu spend.”為本段的中心句,設空處下文“That means every cffee,husehld item and cash tip as well as regular mnthly bills.”中的that剛好與C項中的“all yur expenses”對應,故選C項。
3.E 根據(jù)文章結(jié)構(gòu)可知,每段的首句為本段段落大意的總結(jié)句,根據(jù)設空處所在段小標題“Include saving in yur budget.”以及設空處所在段剩余內(nèi)容描述可知,需要在預算中將未來儲蓄考慮進去,E項總結(jié)上文,并開啟下文,起到承上啟下的作用,故選E項。
4.G 設空處所在段的主題為“Find ways t cut spending.”同時設空處上文內(nèi)容“Lk fr ways t save n yur fixed mnthly expenses,such as yur car insurance r cell phne plan,as well.”描述了節(jié)省開支的方法,G項描述了其他方法,承接上文,故選G項。
5.A 根據(jù)設空處位置,該空應選擇合適的小標題。同時根據(jù)設空處標題所在段落大意“省錢的最好方法之一就是設定一個目標。首先考慮一下你想為什么存錢——短期(一到三年)和長期(四年或更長時間)。然后估計一下你需要多少錢,以及你可能需要多長時間才能存下來。”,A項符合段落大意,故選A項。
Passage 2
Have yu ever zned ut?Maybe yu have experienced highway hypnsis(催眠),with n recllectin f having driven frm Pint A t Pint B.Or maybe yu have zer memry f smething yu just read. 6 It means the ability t discnnect frm ur thughts,feelings,envirnment r actins.
Dissciatin can even help athletes d their jbs,fr instance,because it “allws peple t fcus n the life-preserving aspects f a situatin” withut mental interference,said Janina Fisher,a scientist wh has been treating dissciative disrders fr decades.But smetimes peple experience a majr frm f dissciatin,ften in the result f verwhelming suffering. 7
Public fascinatin with dissciatin and its disrders has endured fr many years—examples include the bks “Sybil” and “The Three Faces f Eve”, bth adapted int wildly ppular feature films,each abut a wman with “multiple persnalities.” 8 TikTk vides ppularized dissciative identity disrder,r ,have been viewed mre than 1.7 billin times and dissciatin has drawn mre than 775 millin views.
Celebrities like the “Saturday Night Live” cast member Bwen Yang have als penly described struggles with dissciative disrders,as cnversatins abut mental health cntinue t migrate int public frums. 9 We asked several mental health prviders t explain mre abut dissciatin.
10 Rather than fight r flee in a stressful r threatening situatin,sme peple “freeze,” said Dr.Frank W.Putnam,an expert n dissciative disrders.“That’s the dissciative state where yu shut dwn and yu kind f g away.” Althugh dissciatin can help a persn mentally escape during a threat,it can interfere with daily life when peple cntinue t dissciate during favrable encuraged anyne curius abut a specific disrder t speak with an attentive and thughtful health care prvider instead f sharing n the Internet.
A.What are the dissciative disrders?
B.These are mild frms f dissciatin.
C.Frequent experiences like that make dissciatin disrder.
D.But much f this cntent isn’t prviding reliable infrmatin.
E.The Internet and app-based wrld wuld bring us all clser tgether.
F.Nw peple are psting their experiences with dissciatin n scial media.
G.In this case,the dissciative symptms becme mre extreme and frequent.
答案與解析
【語篇導讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了“游離”這一現(xiàn)象由來已久,越來越多地進入公眾視野,引起關注,同時提醒人們對此開展審慎的交流。
6.B 考查段中句。根據(jù)上文提供的幾個樣例,一是走神,二是公路催眠,三是健忘;下文又對設空處進行解釋。由此,設空處應該承上啟下,引出一個新概念:這些現(xiàn)象就是游離(dissciatin)。故選B項。
7.G 考查段尾句。根據(jù)第二段描述,游離狀態(tài)利于運動員訓練,但話鋒一轉(zhuǎn),進一步解釋游離狀態(tài)有時發(fā)生于經(jīng)歷過嚴重的創(chuàng)傷之后。這種情況下,游離會表現(xiàn)得更極端和頻繁。故選G項。
8.F 考查段中句。根據(jù)第三段起始句可知,公眾關注游離及其帶來的紊亂已有多年,其中有兩部相關著作,后改編拍成了電影。設空處后一句又以TikTk為例,廣泛傳播這一現(xiàn)象。因此,設空處應為現(xiàn)在人們在社交媒體發(fā)布對這一現(xiàn)象的體驗。故選F項。
9.D 考查段中句。根據(jù)設空處前一句描述,隨著精神健康對話轉(zhuǎn)向大眾視野,就連美國喜劇節(jié)目名角Bwen Yang也公開了自己同“游離”斗爭的事情。空后一句說就游離有關事宜我們又咨詢了精神健康專家。由此,設空處應為轉(zhuǎn)折,前面所屬情況還是不可靠的或不足以讓人信服的。故選D項。
10.A 考查段首句。根據(jù)下文專家Frank W.Putnam對分離障礙的解釋:“不是與壓力或危險作斗爭或從中逃脫,而是一種暫時游離”可知,設空處應該是提出這個概念:“分離障礙到底是什么?”故選A項。
Passage 3
Mind reading is hard.But nt impssible.Mdern technlgy can reach inside smene’s head and pull ut their intentin. 11 Or type smething n a cmputer screen.Such thught-cntrlled devices can help peple wh aren’t able t mve r speak perfrm different tasks.
Decding(解碼) thught usually requires placing sensrs directly n r in smene’s brain.Thse sensrs capture messages by listening n the electrical signals between the persn’s brain cells. 12
Using brain implants(移植),researchers have picked up electrical dts in the brain linked t certain wrds r letters.This has allwed brain implants t transfrm thughts int text r speech n a cmputer. 13 Implanted electrdes have even allwed scientists t turn the cells assciated with a sng in smene’s head int real music.
In a recent study,scientists decded full stries frm peple’s brains using MRI scans. 14 But building the thught decder did require many hurs f brain scans fr each persn.What’s mre,the system nly wrked n the persn whse brain scans helped build it.And nly when that persn was willing t have their mind read.
S devices that might let smene secretly read yur mind frm acrss the rm are still a lng,lng way ff. 15 As it des,scientists are thinking hard abut what it wuld mean t live in a wrld where nt even the inside f yur head is cmpletely private.
A.This did nt require any brain implants.
B.Maybe that intentin is t mve a rbtic arm.
C.Still,it’s clear that mind-reading tech is getting mre advanced.
D.And such messages direct brains t think,feel and cntrl the bdy.
E.Technlgies aim t listen t and maybe even change yur brain activity.
F.Brain scans have pulled wrds,stries and even music frm inside peple’s heads.
G.Likewise,brain implants have transfrmed imagined handwriting int text n a screen.
答案與解析
【語篇導讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹心智讀取技術的發(fā)展。
11.B 根據(jù)設空處前兩句,心智讀取很難,但也能做到。現(xiàn)代科技已經(jīng)能夠深入人的頭腦并將人們的意圖讀取出來。關鍵詞為intentin。再由下文“或者在電腦上打字”可知,此處是對上文的解釋:這種意圖可能是移動智能手臂。故選B項。
12.D 根據(jù)第二段可知,解碼人的想法通常需要在人腦中放置傳感器。這些傳感器通過聽取人腦器官間的電子信號,獲取信息。設空處承接上文,D項“并且這些信息指揮大腦思考、感受并控制身體”符合語境。故選D項。
13.G 根據(jù)設空處前敘述,通過腦移植手術,研究者們能夠獲取與文字相關的大腦鏈接點。這就使得腦移植能夠?qū)⑷说南敕ㄞD(zhuǎn)換成文字或話語,并在電腦上呈現(xiàn)出來。設空處后一句敘述移植電極將人腦中與歌曲相關的細胞轉(zhuǎn)換為音樂。由此可知,類似地,腦移植也可以將想象中的筆跡轉(zhuǎn)換成電腦中的文本。故選G項。
14.A 根據(jù)設空處前敘述,最近一項研究表明,科學家能利用磁共振成像技術對人的大腦完整解碼。設空處后一句轉(zhuǎn)折,表示對人的思維進行解碼的確需要很多時間的掃描。由此可知,做到對大腦解碼不需要進行大腦移植。故選A項。
15.C 根據(jù)設空處前敘述,在一定空間內(nèi)讀取大腦的信息,這種裝置的研發(fā)可能要有很長的路走。設空處后一句說如果這樣,科學家們也在苦苦思索,生活在一個連你的內(nèi)心都不是隱私的世界會意味著什么。因此,盡管研發(fā)還需要時間,但是可以明確的是心智讀取技術也在越來越發(fā)達。故選C項。
