3、20th century, declining birth rate could be a defining one of the 21st.Statistics show that the average number of births per woman has fallen from 4.9 in the early 1960s to 2.5 nowadays. Furthermore, around 50% of the

4、 world's population live in regions where the figure is now below the replacement level(i.e.2.1 births per woman)and almost all developed nations are experiencing sub-replacement birth rate. You might think that de

9、d official figures suggest the country has shrunk by 5% since 1993 and people in Russia live a shorter life now than those in 1961. Why is this occurring?Nobody is quite sure, but poor diet and above all long-time alco

10、holism have much to do with it. If current trends don't bend, Russia's popu-lation will be about the size of Yemen's by the year 2050.,In the north of India, the population is booming due to high birth rates

11、, but in the south, where most economic development is taking place, birth rate is falling rapidly. In a further twist, birth rate is highest in poorly educated rural areas and lowest in highly educated urban areas. In

15、lower　根據(jù)第一段最后一句以及第二段第一句可知,21世紀的出生率低于(lower than)20世紀。2.size/scale　根據(jù)第二段第二句中的and almost all developed nations are experiencing sub-re-placement birth rate可知,幾乎所有的發(fā)達國家都面臨人口出生率低的問題。故此處指發(fā)達國家很難維持人口規(guī)模(the size/scale of pop

16、ulation)。3.immediate　根據(jù)第二段最后一句可知,在許多發(fā)展中國家,出生率下降是一個主要問題,這可能在幾十年內造成全球災難性的勞動力短缺問題。故此處指發(fā)展中國家出生率下降影響可能不是立即就能表現(xiàn)出來的,但卻是災難性的。關鍵信息:within a few decades。4.economic　文章從第三段開始,舉例分析了發(fā)展中國家出生率與經濟發(fā)展的關系。故此處副標題應為“人口與經濟壓力”。5.old/older

17、　根據(jù)第三段第一句可知,中國很可能面臨年輕勞動力人數(shù)的下降問題。故此處指為了保證經濟發(fā)展,中國需要恰當解決人口問題,因為它的勞動力日趨老齡化。關鍵信息:A,great decline in young work force。6.earlier　根據(jù)第四段第三句可知,官方數(shù)據(jù)表明,自從1993年以來,俄羅斯人口已經縮減了5%,相比1961年,現(xiàn)在的俄羅斯人更為短壽。故此處指俄羅斯人的早逝(the earlier death of R

18、ussians)可能導致人口縮減,這會使國家未來的經濟受損。7.living/life　根據(jù)第四段倒數(shù)第二句可知,死亡人數(shù)增多有可能與俄羅斯人不良的飲食習慣和長期酗酒有關。故此處應指改變人們的生活方式(change people's way of living/life)。 8.equality　根據(jù)第五段的后兩句可知,在印度,處于工作年齡段的人中有25%沒有接受過教育,到2030年,可能有六分之一的潛在勞動力完全沒有

19、接受過教育。故此處應指不考慮出生率的問題,印度如果能實現(xiàn)教育機會的平等(equality of educational opportunity),這個國家的經濟才有可能騰飛。9.immigration　根據(jù)最后一段的前三句話可知,此處指美國將通過移民提高人口數(shù)量。10.compensate　根據(jù)全文最后一句中的see a rise in the size of its working-age population可知,外來勞動

25、 Internet, I don't need to keep all the details for future use—I know where to find that information again and can quickly and easily do so. More generally, the Internet functions as if it were my memory. This func

31、l out my phone to check a fact, watch a video, read weibo. Such activities fill the spaces that used to be dead time (such as waiting for somebody to arrive for a lunch meeting).But that's the upside (好處). The down

32、side is that in those dead periods I often would let my thoughts flow and sometimes would have an unexpected insight or idea. Those opportunities are now fewer and farther between.,答案[語篇解讀]　他人的幫助像義肢一樣可以彌補我們在智力和情感上的缺陷。

33、在作者看來網(wǎng)絡擴大了他的“社會義肢體系”,成為他記憶與判斷的延伸。智能手機使得網(wǎng)絡的“義肢”功能更加強大,但同時也帶來了一定的不良影響。1.Internet　根據(jù)第一段倒數(shù)第三句...that the Internet is expanding the range of my own social prosthetic systems.可知,網(wǎng)絡正在擴大我自己的社會義肢體系范圍,即網(wǎng)絡能夠幫助我們彌補智力和情感上的缺陷,故填I

37、5.heart/core　根據(jù)第三段第二句的when I'm writing a textbook, it has become second nature to check a dozen definitions of a key term, which helps me dig into the core and understand its meaning可知,當作者寫書時,會本能地在網(wǎng)絡上查詢關鍵詞的定義,以便幫助

38、自己找到問題的核心、關鍵,故填heart/core。6.check　根據(jù)第三段內容可知,作者寫作時會上網(wǎng)查詢自己的想法是否已經有人想到了,并將自己的觀點與他人的進行對比,由此推出網(wǎng)絡讓我們交流思想,以便核實自己的想法,故填check。7.judge　根據(jù)第三段的Regarding judgment可知,本段的主旨是判斷,由第三段最后一句More-over, I can find out whether my reactions

39、 to an event are reasonable enough by reading about those of others on the Internet.可知,網(wǎng)絡可以幫助我們判斷自身的行為是否合理,故填judge。8.mixed/two　根據(jù)最后兩段可知,智能手機的作用是兩方面的,有好處(upside),也有壞處(down-side),故填mixed/two。9.convenient　根據(jù)第四段可知,人們利用智能

42、導的賓語從句和兩個what引導的賓語從句。,Passage 3(2015江蘇)People select news in expectation of a reward.This reward may be either of two kinds.One is related to what Freud calls the Pleasure Principle,the other to what he calls the Real

53、n the two kinds of reward.,答案[語篇解讀]　本文為說明文,題材為社會生活類。介紹了人們選擇新聞故事時的兩個原則:娛樂原則和現(xiàn)實原則。1.rewards/rewarded　根據(jù)第一段第一句People select news in expectation of a reward.可知,人們選擇性地看新聞是期盼有所收獲的?？崭裉幙捎妹~reward的復數(shù)形式,或用動詞reward的過去分詞rewarde

54、d與get構成被動結構。2.Explanations　根據(jù)第二、三、四段可知,此處是解釋immediate reward和delayed reward。右欄有多個解釋,應用explanation的復數(shù)形式,并根據(jù)左欄上下框形式,需大寫首字母。3.involvement　根據(jù)第三段第二句A reader can enjoy an indirect experience without any of the dangers or s

55、tresses involved.可知,讀者可間接地體驗這個新聞,但又不會有任何危險和緊張。介詞without后應用involve的名詞形式involvement。4.share　根據(jù)第三段第三句He can tremble wildly at an axe-murder,shake his head sympathetically and safely at a hurricane,identify himself with t

56、he winning team,laugh understandingly at a warm little story of children or dogs.可知,讀者可以與新聞中敘述的事情產生共鳴,再結合空格后的with可知,應填share,構成share sth. with sb.結構。,5.threat　根據(jù)第四段第三句It has a kind of “threat value”.可知,第二類新聞會給人一種威脅感。不定

57、冠詞后應用名詞threat,表示對某人的威脅。6.prepare　根據(jù)第四段第四句It is read so that the reader may be informed and prepared.可知,讀這樣的新聞讀者會對現(xiàn)實社會做好心理準備。原文中用了被動結構be prepared,由于題干主語發(fā)生了變化應改為主動形式prepare。7.withdraw　根據(jù)第四段最后一句When he selects news of t

58、he other kind,he usually withdraws from the world of threatening reality toward the dream world.可知,如果讀者選擇immediate reward的新聞,那么他通常會從具有威脅性的現(xiàn)實社會回到夢想中的社會。評析　任務型閱讀要求學生對文章中與表格相匹配的信息進行提煉和轉換。本題要求學生不僅能找到文中的withdraws,還應該能根據(jù)題干

59、中l(wèi)ead sb.to do sth.的動詞短語搭配填出恰當?shù)男问?。學生易誤填withdrawing。,8.profession(s)/intention　根據(jù)第五段所舉的例子可以推斷,讀者閱讀和理解新聞故事的角度很大程度上取決于讀者本身所從事的職業(yè)(profession)或者他們讀新聞的意圖(intention)。這個答案需要概括出來。9.adapt　根據(jù)第五段第五句In any given story of corrupti

60、on or disaster,a thoughtful reader may re-ceive not only the immediate reward of indirect experience,but also the delayed reward of informa-tion and preparedness. 可知,新聞不僅可以給讀者提供間接體驗,而且能給他們帶來信息以及對現(xiàn)實的準備。此處用了adapt sb. to

61、 sth.的結構,adapt themselves to the reality使他們自己適應現(xiàn)實。10.depends　根據(jù)最后一段最后一句Therefore,while the division of categories holds in general,an individual's tendency may transfer any story from one kind of reading to anothe

62、r,or divide the expe-rience between the two kinds of reward.可知,分類取決于讀者。句子主語division是單數(shù),謂語應用depends。,高級語塊　1.in expectation of 期待2.immediate reward 即時獎勵3.delayed reward 延宕獎勵,長難句　When a reader selects delayed reward new

63、s,he pulls himself into the world of surrounding reality to which he can adapt himself only by hard work.當一個讀者選擇了延宕獎勵的新聞,他就把自己拉進了一個周邊現(xiàn)實的世界,對此他只有通過努力才能適應。when引導的是一個時間狀語從句。主句中to which引導定語從句,先行詞為the world of sur-roundin

64、g reality。,Passage 4(2014江蘇)The expression,“everybody's doing it,”is very much at the center of the concept of peer pressure.It is a strong influence of a group,especially of children,on members of that group to be

65、have as ev-erybody else does.It can be positive or negative.Most people experience it in some way during their lives.People are social creatures by nature,and so it is hardly surprising that part of their self-respect

66、 comes from the approval of others.This instinct(天性)is why the approval of peers,or the fear of dis-approval,is such a powerful force in many people's lives.It is the same instinct that drives people to dress one

67、way at home and another way at work,or to answer “fine”when a stranger asks“how are you?”even if it is not necessarily true.There is a practical aspect to this:it helps society to func-tion efficiently,and encourages a
