阅读理解 A
Summer is slipping away from me. Some days, it makes me want to cry. Other days, I feel a sense of expectation within me just thinking about fall that makes me want to burst. Tonight, all five of us were in the family room doing our own things.
At this moment, my littlest kid is my number one trouble and my number one joy. He has a tooth on the way and although it’s such a tiny thing, it’s causing so much grief. I’m holding him a lot and I’m not going to lie. I live for his afternoon nap (小睡) so I’m able to actually get dressed and use the restroom.
The big E is starting school soon. The other day, I found myself a bit depressed about the end of summer and the beginning of another school year. I looked out of our front window with eyes that were heavy and a bit teary. Then, I suddenly realized just how silly this end of summer depression of mine is. I can’t change time. But, I can change my emotions and my thoughts. I decided not to spend my final days of summer vacation walking around with a sad face. I decided to hug the last few days of summer and remind myself that before I know it, we will be back in our school routine and all will go well.
This week we plan on meeting teachers. I’m taking my girl to have her nails done before her first day of kindergarten. We want to bake a few dozen cookies. We’ll take our evening walks as usual and stay up late. And last but not least, I’ll get school cloth ready, I’ll pack lunches and write lunch notes, we’ll read“The Kissing Hand,” like we normally do, and I’ll tuck (掖好被子) my third grader and kindergartener in their little beds before the big first day.
Thank you summer, you’ve been warm and wonderful, you’ve been sweet and sticky, you’ve been refreshing and exactly what we need. And your sunsets have been amazing, so thank you.
56. According to Paragraph 1, the author __________.
A. feels excited B. has mixed feelings C. feels worried D. has bad feelings
57. How will the author spend the final days of the summer vacation?
A. Live a simple life. B. Stay at home and relax herself. C. Treasure the vacation. D. Walk around with a depressed face.
58. From the passage, we can learn that the author __________.
A. is fond of reading novels B. has two annoying children C. often takes evening walks D. has no time to get dressed B
Ever walked to the shops only to find, once there, you’ve completely forgotten what you went for? Or struggled to remember the name of an old friend? For years we’ve accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of ageing as wrinkles and grey hair. But now a new book suggests that we’ve got it all wrong.
According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s – much later than previously thought.
Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we retain them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years it’s been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise.
This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive (认 知的) tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically, order people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words you can remember) and problem solving.
Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual speed – how fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.
Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with ageing. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when we’re younger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get older we’ve learned our lessons and are sub-consciously aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy.
59. Barbara Strauch probably agrees that __________.
A. the young are better at handling important things B. people’s brains work best between their 40s and 60s
C. ageing leads to the decline of the function of the brain D. wrinkles and grey hair are the only symbols of ageing
60. The continuing research has found older people perform better on __________.
A. vocabulary tests B. number ability C. perceptual speed D. body balance
61. People are happier with age because __________.
A. they learn to value the time left B. they know how to share feelings
C. they cannot focus on negative aspects D. they do not realize the possible dangers
62. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. People get wiser with age. B. People get more forgetful with age.
C. People get happier with age. D. People get more self-aware with age.
C
Everyone procrastinates. We put things off because we don’t want to do them, or because we have too many other things on our plates. Putting things off – big or small – is part of being human. But procrastination does have consequences. When your procrastination leaves you feeling discouraged, it is time to take action, and one of the best ways to get rid of it is to make an un-scheduled.
An un-schedule is a weekly calendar of all the ways in which your time is already accounted for. You consider not only your timed commitments such as classes and meetings, but also your untimed activities such as meals, exercise, time with friends, and the like. Once you have made your un-schedule, you may be able to see your time is often filled with more activities than you realize, for instance, that you really don’t have five hours to spend writing on the night before your paper is due. Procrastinators’ views of time tend to be unrealistic, and the un-schedule can help you outline a realistic plan. By planning accordingly, you will not only get a better night’s sleep, you may also end up with a better paper.
The un-schedule might also be a good way to get started on a larger project, such as a term paper or an honors paper. You may think that you have “all semester” to get the writing done, but if you really map out how much time you have available to write on a daily and weekly basis, you will see that you need to get started sooner, rather than later. In addition, the un-schedule may reveal especially busy weeks or months, which will help you budget time for long-term projects.
Perhaps most importantly, the un-schedule can help you examine how you spend your time. You may be surprised at how much time you spend watching television, and decide to make a change. It’s especially important that you build time for fun activities into your un-schedule. Otherwise, you will procrastinate in order to steal time for relaxation.
You can also use the un-schedule to record your progress towards your goal. Reward yourself for your small successes. Seeing what you’ve achieved will help you reinforce (强化) the productive behavior, and you will feel more motivated in the following process.
As you explore ways to conquer procrastination, don’t expect overnight transformation. You developed the habit over a long time; you aren’t going stop magically. But you can change the behavior, bit by bit. If you start to make an un-schedule now, you will eventually develop new habits.
63. From Paragraph 2, we can know that procrastinators __________.
A. usually have sleeping problems B. tend to be unrealistic in daily life
C. spend more time in doing exercise D. often fail to notice untimed activities
64. Which of the following statements best reflects an un-schedule?
A. “Now I have more time for fun.” B. “I can start my big project later.”
C. “I’ll treat myself to a movie for my progress.” D. “I’m going to have more time to finish my paper.”
65. According to the writer, people need to make an un-schedule because of their __________.
A. interests in doing things differently B. determination to try out new things
C. inability to manage time properly D. lack of concentration on a project
66. The author writes the passage to __________.
A. show concerns B. offer suggestions C. express dissatisfaction D. make comments
D
I wish documentaries, not movies. I read history books, not fiction. I use every free moment to accomplish one of the tasks on my never-ending checklist, and I am completely filled with thoughts of productivity. An hour sleeping is an hour wasted. And like the rest of 21st century America, I like it. But this fixation on productivity is increasingly destroying character and transforming men into robots.
New York Times columnist David Brooks warned American University students of this cultural decline in a speech. “We cut off all things spiritual and emotional in a competitive urge to stand out”, he said, “The pressure to succeed professionally, to acquire skills, to do the things you need to do to succeed in an information age economy really became the overwhelming (难以应付的) pressure, and it sort of eclipses the thinking about character and morality.
Many students happily go to college, viewing it as a next step on their rise to professional achievement. Forcing as many success-building activities into their schedules as they can, they enjoy keeping busy with little sleep. “Today’s outstanding kids are likely to spend their afternoons and weekends shuttling from one skill-improving activity to the next,” Brooks wrote in an article, “We fear failure more than we desire success.”
A century ago, college was about character building. Today, our characters are in decline. We are experts on economics, material things and professional skills. We fail to discuss and understand relationships, emotions and all things spiritual. Philosophers Karl Popper divided the world into two categories: Clocks and Clouds. Clock problems are those that can be taken apart, examined and solved through deductive reasoning (演绎推理). Clouds cannot be taken apart. Cloud problems represent whole systems that need to be understood in a different way.
“When we have a Cloud problem, we try to turn into a Clock problem,” Brooks said. And in a reason-centered culture, adding titles to one’s resume becomes a trend. At American University, 85 percent of seniors (and 89 percent of business majors) graduate with at least one practical experience which is often helpful to a student’s future career, but can sometimes draw focus away from academics.
To prevent the death of man’s character, Brooks urges rediscovering our human natures through falling in love. And by love he means love for a task, job, or another person. “Synchronicity is key to happiness,” he said. Rather than crazily increasing our long lists of accomplishments, we need to lose ourselves in what we do, and success will come on its own.
67. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that people __________.
A. are controlled by time B. are keen on reading books C. are changing their characters D. are eager to achieve more
68. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word “eclipses” means __________.
A. deletes B. weakens C. worsens D. emphasizes
69. The last paragraph mainly tells us that __________.
A. love is more important than focus B. the focus on human natures counts
C. more work contributes to happiness D. success comes from devotion to work.
70. The purpose of this passage is to __________.
A. bring awareness to character building B. stress the importance of productivity
C. warn about the pressure to seek success D. criticize students’ desire for achievements
七选五 Weighing the Options
Making decisions when shopping is often a tough call. Even if you’re satisfied with the first dress you try on, would you go on looking for alternatives, comparing styles and prices, until literally dropped dead?
Psychology researchers have studied how people make decisions and concluded there are two basic styles. “Maximizes” like to take their time and weigh a wide range of options, – sometimes every possible one – before choosing. “Satisficers” would rather be fast than thorough.
__________ (71) So even if they see what would seem to meet their requirements, they can’t make a decision until after they’ve examined every option to make sure that they’re making the best possible choice. Researchers followed 548 job-seeking college seniors at 11 schools from October through their graduation in June. They found that the maximizers landed better jobs. __________ (72)
“The maximizers is kicking himself because he can’t examine every option and at some point had to just pick something,” they say. “Maximizers make best decisions and end up feeling bad about them. __________ (73)”
Satisficers also have high standards, but they are happier than maximizers. Maximizers tend to be more depressed and to report a lower satisfaction with life, his research found.
Faced with so many choices in our lives, we need to learn how not to waste time and energy on our decision-making.
_________ (74) For instance, if you’re picking a restaurant for lunch meeting, first deciding on a certain part of town or type of cuisine can narrow your options.
Once you’ve arrived at a decision, stick with it. __________ (75) To limit the number of options you can set a time for decision-making. Say you are buying a new bag, you could spend an amount of time studying features, price and value – but if you give yourself only five minutes to make a decision, and there are only bags you can consider, you’ll save time. You’ll be happier with your decision, too.
A. Maximizers are people who want the best.
B. First of all, decrease your range of options.
C. Comparing is often a must when you make a decision.
D. Just accept that no decision is ever completely perfect.
E. Satisficers make good decisions and end up feeling good.
F. The other is to make decisions more accurately at the beginning.
G. Their starting salaries were 20 percent higher but they felt worse about their jobs.

23[答案]：A [翻译]：北京正建着的地铁16号线预计今年开通。
[解析]：本题考查非谓语动词。在名词之后的空格要优先找动词与前面名词的主被动关系，本题 16 号线和建设为被动关系，排除 B、D 两个选项。空后已知内容是计划开通，可知建 设还未完成，故确定A选项为答案。
24【答案】：A 【翻译】：这个房间不是我原来想预定的那个。
【解析】：本题考查表语从句。根据从句完整原则，从句中谓语动词 wanted 缺少宾语，因 此选择what 做从句的宾语。
25【答案】：B 【翻译】：我的老板是个大方的人，我们接大订单的时候他最大方。
【解析】：本题考查副词。very/rather 都是能表示“十分”的程度副词，题干中有 and 表示 递进关系，因此 very 不能前后重复，如果后文再次出现一般省略；rather 一般修饰负面情 感的形容词，而此处是generous可以排除；only 在语意上不通，较容易排除；此处是最高 级，表示在接到订单时最大方。
26【答案】：B 【翻译】：普遍认为埃博拉病毒在尼日利亚的传播会在2014年8月前得到控制。
【解析】：本题考查非谓语动词。首先病毒的传播和控制应该是被动，C、D 选项是主动， 可排除；to have done 表示已经完成，而to do 表示将来，本题应该是 be believed to have done 表示完成，因为是2014年8 月。
27[答案]：D [翻译]: 以防大家有疑虑和问题，我们活动现场配有顾问。
[解析]: 此题考状语从句，when当…时候；now that 既然；though 虽然，in case以防, 所以，选D

[解析]: 此题考时态，此句有重要时间标志词 then, 本题中指代上文时间 tomorrow afternoon, 属将来时间，故选择A。
29[答案]：C [翻译]: -那个动物管理员真的让我很生气。 -如果你不拿石头扔动物，他怎么会那么对你？
[解析]: 此题考虚拟语气。第一句动物管理员生气是在过去，所以用石头扔动物必然也是在过去，且在从句中，故应该用had done,此题答案为C。
30【答案】：D 【翻译】：每周一英语老师都会兴高采烈地问我周末过的怎么样？
【解析】：本题考查从句。由于动词短语，ask sb sth,判断为宾语从句。句中，老师在问我周末过的怎么样, 因此选择D。
31【答案】：C 【翻译】：脑海里闪过一些疑虑，我感觉到有必要研究一下。
【解析】：本题考查非谓语。 句中doubts与 run是主动关系，不强调时间先后，因此选择 C。
32【答案】：B 【翻译】： -你最近好像挺忙的。 -是啊，我正在写小说。你是知道的，要写部情节引人入胜的小说真的不是件容易的事。
【解析】：本题考查代词。根据句中“you know”可知，对话一方在说写小说的事儿，与前文提到的a story是同名同物，且为可数名词，因此选择B。
33【答案】：D 【翻译】：据BBC最新报导，一名英格兰的五岁男孩成为了迄今为止世界上最年轻的计算机专家。 【解析】：本题考查时态。根据the latest news，和 youngest两个最高级，我们可以得知这个男孩是有史以来最年轻的计算机专家，只有现在完成时可以体现这一状态，所以选D。
34【答案】：A 【翻译】：我们球队赢得比赛冠军的光辉时刻会永远留在我的心中。
【解析】：本题考查定语从句。根据选项和从句与主句的关系可以判断考查定语从句，再看从句中主谓宾齐全，选择关系副词，排除CD；主句中没有地点性名词，只有moment表时 间，故选A。
35【答案】：B 【翻译】： -汤姆，我们为什么不帮儿子写论文呢？ -我们已经做的够多了。这次让他自己来。 【解析】：本题考查情态动词。根据语境，父亲觉得不应该为孩子提供更多的帮助，很容易 排除AD；C选项could表示能，意思为这已超越了我们的能力范围。根据最后一句，父亲觉得孩子应该独立完成，所以有意不提供帮助，并不是父母能力有限，无法提供帮助，故排 除C而选 B。
完型填空答案
解析： 该篇完形填空文章体裁是记叙文，主题“have a go”贯穿全文并在故事结束后作者做了总结升华。虽然主题难懂且在行文发展时不明朗，但是通过文章结尾部分的作者感悟可以明 白“have a go”即“have a try”。所以谨记记叙文常在文章3/4结构处有转折，凸显主题。 做题过程中，除了要熟悉词汇，把握文章结构、主题、和情感变化对解题十分关键。10 个动词5个名词，连词介词三，形副各一个，词汇本身整体难度不大且大都是完型高频词。但是需要学生读懂文章情节和主题，尤其是最后5道题最为突出，词汇辨析结合文章主题能有利 于确定正确选项。

56．答案B。细节题。定位到段1，some days作者想哭（cry），为负态度；other days 作者感到（对未来）充满期待（a sense of expectation），为正态度，所以两种感情一正一负，只能选择B 一种混合的情感。
57. 答案 C。细节题。定位段3最后两句 “I decided not to spend my final days of summer vacation…… go well.” 作者说提醒自己马上要回到开学后的日常生活，所以要拥 抱最后的假期，即选C, 珍惜假期。
58. 答案 C。细节题。定位文中段4，“We’ll take our evening walks as usual” “我们会 像往常一样在晚上散步”，所以选C我们经常在晚上散步。A 喜欢读小说，原文没提；B 有 两个烦人的孩子，可直接从 annoying 排除 B, 因为作者段 2 中“my littlest kid is my number one trouble and my number one joy”只说其中一个孩子既麻烦又有意思，而且作 者有3个孩子（一个婴儿，一个上幼儿园，一个三年级），排除 B。D 没有时间打扮，对应 段2 “I’m able to actually get dressed”我可以打扮，排除D。
B
解析： 本文是一篇事理性说明文，通过实验，科学家们得出了这样一个结论，随着年龄的增长 我们会变得更加睿智而不是健忘。
59.答案B。本题为细节题，根据题干的Barbara Strauch定位在文章第二段第二行，when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s. 文章的意思是当提到重要的事情时，我们的大脑随着年龄的增长会变得更好。实际上，她主 张很多研究已经发现我们大脑的智力水平在40 到60 岁时达到顶峰。所以选B。另外，A、 B、C在第二段均未提及，且与文中主旨不符。
60.答案：A。本题是细节题。根据题干的The continuing research定位到文章第四段 第一行。第二行从It has found开始介绍这个research的结论，倒数第二行的Specifically, order people did better on tests of vocabulary说特别是，年长的人在词汇测试上做的更好，所以选A。要快速的做这类题要学会快速搜寻有效信息。比如这题，定位到第四段后，要很 快找到表示调查研究结论的found 和表示特别强调的Specifically。另外，B、C在第五段第 一行提到，但说的是老人不擅长这两件事，而D文中没有提到。
61.答案 A。本题是细节题，根据题干 happier 定位到文中最后一个单词。向前找关键信息会看到一个but，文中是这么说的but as we get older we’ve learned our lessons and are sub-consciously aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy. 意为但是当我们逐渐变老，我们已经经历了很多且下意识的 认识到我们剩下的时间已经不多了，因此快乐对我们而言变得更加重要，所以选A。另外， B 选项与最后一段第二行关键词 found 后面说的不符，文章说的是控制感情而不是分享感 情。C、D项出现在but 之前，说的是年轻人不会出现CD项的内容，不代表老年人就会出现。
62. 答案是A。本题是主旨题。根据文章第一段末的转折But now a new book suggests that we’ve got it all wrong.对应转折前说的随着年龄的增长人会变得健忘，所以选A。B 选 项跟主旨完全相反，D没有提到。C是最大的干扰项，文末说的是快乐对年长的人很重要，并不是说人就会越来越快乐。
C
解析： 本文是一篇议论文，论点讲拖延症的解决办法。文章采用了总分总的写作结构，第一段提出拖延症这个现象普遍存在于每个人身上，并提出解决方法(make an un-scheduled)；第二段至第五段详细解释这一方法的益处；最后一段总结拖延症的改变需要假以时日，好习惯慢慢养成。
63 题 细节题，正确答案 D。从题干中的关键词“Paragraph 2”定位答案出自文章第二段。本题的最大迷惑选项是B，第二段倒数第二句话 “Procrastinators’ views of time tend to be unrealistic”，可知拖延症的人只是对时间的观点不切实际，而选项B 说拖延症的人在日 常生活中不切实际，属于范围扩大，所以排除B。A选项说拖延症的人睡眠有问题，属于无中生有的选项，是根据文章第二段最后一句话 “By planning accordingly, you will not only get a better night’s sleep, you man also end up with a better paper” , 此句的意思是说“做好计划，不仅会晚上睡得更好，同时也会写出一篇更棒的文章”。做好计划会睡得好并不意味着拖延的人就有睡眠问题。C选项说拖延症的人用来做锻炼的时间多，文章第二段没有进 行时间长短的比较，此选项属于未提及选项。文章第二段第二句话说 “You consider not only your timed commitments such as classes and meetings, but also your untimed activities such as meals, exercise, time with friends, and the like”，本句的意思是说 “一个人不但要考虑必做的事(timed commitments)，同时还要注意不定时的事（untimed activities），根据句式特点来看，but also 后的部分为作者强调的，所以由此可以推出，通常拖延症的人只关注了timed commitments，而对于后者untimed activities的关注不足， 所以D选项正确。
64 题 细节题，正确答案C。答案出自文章第五段第二句话 “Reward yourself for your small successes”, 本句的意思是说 “有了小小的成功要奖励自己”，选项C是对原句的同义 改写 “我要因为自己的进步而奖励自己去看一场电影”。A 选项 “现在我有更多的时间娱乐了”，在文章中与娱乐时间相关的句子来自第四段 “It’s especially important that you build time for fun activities into your un-scheduled”，意思是说 “尤其重要的是，你会为自己流 出时间去娱乐的事情”，所以并没有对娱乐时间是否变多了（more time）进行比较，所以A 不正确。B 选项 “我可以晚点再开始做大的项目”，这句明显与文章观点想法，文章第三段 说 “you will see that you need to get started sooner” “你会发现你需要更早的开始”，所 以B错误。D选项 “我将有更多的时间完成我的文章”，错误仍然处在more time上。文章第三段说拖延症的人认为自己有 “all semester”的时间来完成论文，而做过计划的人发现需 要 “get started sooner”(早点开始) “busy weeks or months”（忙碌的周末和月份），并没有对时间变多变少进行比较，所以D错误。
65题 细节题，正确答案C。答案出自文章第四段第一句话 “Perhaps most importantly, the un-scheduled can help you examine how you spend your time” 本句在说“也许最重要的就是，做好计划能够帮助你检查你是如何花费时间的”。C选项是对原文的同义改写“人们需要做好计划是因为我们不能很好的管理自己的时间”。 同学们要想做对 65 题，需要把 握住四个选项中的关键名词：A-interests（兴趣），B-determination（决心），C-inability（没有能力），D-lack of concentration（注意力缺乏），兴趣、决心和缺乏注意力在文章中并没 有提及，所以可以很好的排除。 66题 主旨题，正确答案B。主旨题请同学们关注文章首尾段。首段提出 “it is time to take action”尾段提出 “But you can change the behavior, bit by bit”所以可以看出，作者是提出建议，让拖延症的人从现在做起，改变自己。所以B 选项“提出建议”为正确答案。
D
67题，细节题，正确答案D。题干中对 “people”提问，对前文现象进行提问。本篇文章是明显议论文，首段末句是论点，前面是作者要论述的现象。首段第2 句中表达了我每时每刻 都想着完成更多的任务，提高生产效率，做出更多成绩，实现更多成就。且本段最后1句论点的意思是对于生产效率的痴迷会越来越摧毁人们的性格，且将人逐渐变成了机器人。其中 “this fixation on productivity”就是在总结上面提到的现象，即过多于生产效率，总想产出 更多的东西，完成更多的任务，做出更多的成绩。 因此，在四个选项之中，选项D表示人们迫切地希望去实现更多，取得更多成就，符合文意，因此答案选D。
68 题，细节题，正确答案B。划线词所在句位置出现在第2段末尾，第2段属于引用David Brooks的话再次重申论点，前2句中通过“cultural decline”和“cut off”这样的关键信息再次表明了观点：对生产效率和成功的过分追求，使得对于性格人格等的关注在下降。而划线词所在句子前面部分“the pressure to succeed professionally, to acquire skills”都在讲对于成 功和技能的追求，后面部分“and it sort of eclipses the thinking about character and morality”正是对应论点中人们对于性格和道德等关注下降，即减少对于性格和道德的思考。 若选D则是“强调对于性格的思考”，与文章方向相反，直接排除。若选C则是“恶化对于性格的思考”，而本段前面出现的“decline”和“cut off”都能直接推出答案是“减弱”，因此答案 选B。
69题，主旨题，正确答案D。在前几段作者反复论证了自己的论点“过分关注效能、追求成功会使得人们对于性格和精神层面的关注减少”后，本段首句中“rediscovering our human natures though falling in love”给出了重新关注性格层面的方法，即“through falling in love”，通过爱。下文中提到的“love for a task, job”以及最后的“we need to loves ourselves in what we do, and success will come one its own”都指得是需要对工作充满爱和投入，这样成功自然而然会到来。选项D中的“devotion to work”直接符合文意，因此答案选D。
70题，主旨题，正确答案A。文章中作者始终在论述“人们现在更追求生产效能、一味追求成功，而减少了对性格等的关注”，而作者必然认为“应该关注性格或精神层面”，并在最后一段给出了对应具体做法。因此在四个选项中，“bring awareness”非常准确的概括了作者 的目的，即引起人们对于“character building”的关注，因此答案选A。
七选五
解析： 本文是以“权衡选择”为核心内容的说明文，难度与 2013 年高考七选五题目基本一致，属于本次考试中难度偏低的题目，考生只要掌握七选五文章的常规挖空方式和基本解题方 法，就可以较为轻松的正确作答。 第一段引出文章中心，并说明做选择是件很难的事情；第二段根据人们如何做选择，将 人们分成两类——maximizers和satisficers；第三段至第五段进行maximizers和satisficers 的对比；第六段至第八段说明如何在选择时减少时间、经历的浪费，给出两个具体方向。
71. 【答案】A 【解析】段首空（非首段），需关注上一段内容和本段下文。上一段将做决定的人分为两类——maximizers 和 satisficers。根据本段后一句的 they，说明所填句子必须包含 某类人群，符合的选项有A（maximizers），E（satisficers）；再根据后一句中的making the best possible choice，可知与A选项want the best 语义相符。
72. 【答案】G 【解析】段尾空，需关注本段上文和下一段内容。根据“重点名词一致”原则，前一句重点提到 jobs，选项中名词一致的只有 G（salaries，jobs）；且选项种代词 their 指代前一句种的maximizers。下一段开头也在探讨maximizers。
73. 【答案】E 【解析】段尾空，需关注本段上文和下一段内容，可知，两段在进行 maximizers 和satisficers的对比；且根据空前一句：maximizers做出最佳选择，但不开心；以及下一 段段首句：satisficers 也有高标准，但比 maximizers 更开心；应选择 E——satisficers 做出好的选择，并且最终感觉很好。
74. 【答案】B 【解析】段首空，需关注上一段内容和本段下文。上一段说我们在面对选择时，如何避免浪费时间精力，因此此处需要具体做法；B、C、D、F 中 B 和 D 为祈使句，再根据 下文 for instance 可知本段为总分结构，且该句中的 narrow your options 与 B 中的 decrease your range of options语义一致。
75. 【答案】D 【解析】段中空，需关注本段上下文。前一句“一旦作出决定，就要坚持不变”；后一句 “为了限制选项数目，可以设定一个抉择的时间。”Say所在句为举例，but之后是重点，强调在限定的时间内迅速做出选择，而非最合适或最完美的选择。故选D。另外两项也 可用排除法，C中的 comparing 与原文内容无关；F中的the other与前文不能形成正确的逻辑搭配。
Writing 1 解析： 本文是一篇应用文，主要内容是告诉收信人一些相关信息，所以该文属于一种通知类型的文章，需要用到比较通俗和准确的表达方式。首先，要明确行文的框架结构，根据作文主题和要点信息，我们需要在应用文的三段式中体现出通知的相关信息。具体结构分布应该是，首段，要包括对Tom的到来表示欢迎与接待；主体段，即中间段，内容需要包含接待 的具体情况，除了要说明接Tom的确切时间和地点，还要介绍下除夕的活动安排；尾段，主要是对Tom 的到来表示再次的欢迎之情和期待之意。
想要把本文写好，除了结构清晰、要点全面以外，所表达的内容要有逻辑性和连贯性，且用好相关词汇合句型也是很重要的。学生可能会不太清楚“春晚-Spring Festival Gala、鞭炮- firecrackers”等的表达方式，这需要平时的积累。此外，本文中还可以用到一些表达，如be eager to do sth.; tell you the arrangements; drop you into a atmosphere等常用句型。
要完成该题目的写作要求，并拿到高分，不仅需要涵盖各个要点内容，还要在行文中正确运用一些表达事件和情感的短语和句式，使该通知类应用文内容全面的同时，还要体现出对收信人Tom的诚挚欢迎。
范文1： Dear Tom,
How is it going?
My family and I are really looking forward to welcoming you to our home for the Spring Festival Eve. I think it best if I meet you at the North-West exit of the Zhongguancun subway station, which is on Line 4, at 4pm on the 18th, February. In the evening we will watch the CCTV New Year’s Gala, make dumplings together and also set off some firecrackers!
Cannot wait to enjoy the New Year's Eve together!
Li Hua
范文2： Dear Tom,
I’m excited to hear that you will come to China to spend the Chinese New Year’s Eve. My family expects your arrival so much. And I am glad to tell you the arrangements during your visit in Beijing in advance.
I will meet you at 4 o’clock on the afternoon of February 18th. You can arrive at northwestern entrance of Zhongguancun Station of Subway Line 4. If you have some troubles in finding the right way, you can seek help from the subway staff or ring me up directly.

In addition, there are also a series of interesting games we can play together for entertainment.
I am eager to see you and I hope you will enjoy the festival with my family.
Yours,
Li Hua
Writing 2 解析： 本篇文章属于弘扬中国传统文化的文章，和 2013 年海淀二模最后一幅图画非常相像，所谓是京味十足。图画中南锣鼓巷，炸酱面，剪纸这些说法非常考验学生的平时积累。
考生在写文章的时候关注本文的形式为短文，因而语言要正式，结尾要升华。写文章务必注意要分段，尤其在结尾要点题以及升华。文章开头要写清时间，地点，以及人物，人物是我，来自美国的 Tom 和 Mary，首先来到南锣鼓巷参观。其次一起感受美食文化，尝试到了美味的炸酱面。因为根据观察图片是在冬天，所以一起去了后海滑冰，写的时候要注意 细节。最后在要离开的时候，看到了剪纸。整个文章中的要点要写清晰，其次，细节在每个要点的搭配之下至少需具备1到2个。注意本文和要点和细节的逻辑关系，要点和细节搭配要得当，本文是按照时间顺序构成的，所有的活动均在一天完成，所以学生在写文章时要注 意时间状语的使用。
本文难度较大，学生需注意日常积累，在之后的备考过程中对于常见场景中的基础词汇、深入描写和句型表达需要长期练习和积累。
范文1： Last Sunday, I accompanied two of my foreign friends, Tom and Mary, around Beijing so that they could get a feel for the city. We began by touring Nanluoguxiang, which is known for its traditional Chinese architecture. I know the area very well so I acted as their tour guide! For lunch, we tried some Beijing fried sauce noodles. Tom in particular thought that they were delicious. Soon after lunch, we went to Houhai to skate on the frozen lake. Mary skated beautifully while Tom needed my help. We finished off the day by going shopping, and both Tom and Mary bought some paper cuts as souvenirs. It was a fantastic day and I hope they will come back again soon.
范文2： Last Sunday, I accompanied my friends Tom and Mary enjoying the culture of Beijing.
In the morning, we went to the Nanluoguxiang by subway. Upon arrival, I introduced the old lane which renowned for its long history. In order to memorize the unforgettable moments, we took photos here and there. We walked around for almost morning, we felt tired and decided to have lunch. We found a restaurant of Beijing fried sauce noodles. Tom and Mary spoke highly of Beijing noodles. After finishing the lunch, we enjoyed skating in Houhai on the frozen lake. When we decided to leave, the traditional paper cutting caught our eyeballs. Following the introduction of the local stall keeper, Tom selected the most special cutting from all of the traditional stuff.
The setting sun was reflected on our body, and we went home. This experience with them undoubtedly improved our friendship and mutual understanding. Actually, it cast me a deeper reflection. As a Chinese, we should appreciate our own culture so as to make these treasures lasting forever.
范文3： Beijing has always been attracting and interesting many foreigners for its traditional culture and beauty, because of which my American friends Tom and Mary, accompanied by me, did some interesting trips last Sunday.
When it comes to the most famous Hutong in Beijing, Nanluoguxiang pops into our heads immediately. Upon our arrival in the morning, our friends couldn’t wait to take pictures, while I was introducing the history, culture, and customs of this well-known place. Without consciousness, we spent several hours looking, wandering and shopping there. With lunchtime around the corner, I took them to a restaurant where they could taste the Beijing fried sauce noodles. Tom’s praising words “Yummy”, his big thumb-up and their bright smiles made me overjoyed, satisfied and even a little proud.
Our afternoon trip began with a popular winter sport – ice-skating in Houhai. Wearing skating shoes, Tom and Mary were in high spirits, skating like flying. Meanwhile, I, skating around them, reminded them of being careful. Tired but thrilled, we were heading back to school. On the way, Tom and Mary were fascinated with a folk art – paper cutting. Various typical Chinese elements appealed to them deeply.
Nightfall was approaching. From this experience, I realized that it only took one day to introduce our beautiful hometown, Beijing, it only took one day to strengthen our friendship, and it only took one day to enhance cross-cultural communication.
