Yet only one definition of the term truly lives up to its name: the Ironman triathlon held annually in Hawaii, a picturesque(独特的)setting for a challenging race, which demands amazing physical prowess and the ability to swim, bike, and run a marathon, all in less than 12 hours with no break. Very few individuals are up to the task.‎ However, Gordon Haller is a notable exception. Growing up in the 1950s, Haller developed an interest in many sports categorized as endurance(耐性)athletics and welcomed their physical demands. As he pursued a degree in physics he drove a taxi to pay the bills, but competitive training proved his passion. So when he heard about the race in 1978, the first year it was held, he immediately signed up.‎ The race originated in a somewhat amusing way. The members of the two popular sports clubs, the Mid-Pacific Road Runners of Honolulu and the Waikiki Swim Club of Oahu, had a long-standing - 29 -‎ ‎ and good-natured debate going over who made better athletes: runners or swimmers. However, some local bikes thought both clubs were wrong, claiming that they, in fact, deserved the title. Wanting to settle the dispute (争论)once and for all, they decided to combine three separate races already held annually on the island into one massive test of endurance. Thus, the Waikiki Roughwater Swim of 2.4 miles, the Around-Oahu Bike race of 112 miles, and the Honolulu Marathon of 26.2 miles were all put together to form the Ironman Triathlon.‎ Haller was one of only fifteen competitors to show up that February morning to start the race. He quickly scanned the few pages of rules and instructions, and on the last page he discovered a sentence that would become the race’s famous slogan: “Swim 2.4 miles! Bike 112 miles! Run 26.2 miles! Brag(吹牛)for the rest of your life!” Haller took that to heart, and at the end of the day, he became the first Ironman champion in history. Haller’s physical strength enabled him to do what no one else in the past had accomplished.‎ In the approximately thirty years since that very first race, the Ironman has become a tradition in Hawaii and now boasts approximately 1500 entrants every year. The competitors who complete the race don’t have to be the first across the finish line to claim success: just finishing is a victory onto itself.‎ ‎40. The “Iron Man”in the passage above refers to ____________.‎ A. a folk song B. a movie character C. a triathlon athlete D. a sports event ‎41. What do we know about Gordon Haller from the passage?‎ A. He had a great interest in all kinds of sports.‎ B. He was a member of the Waikiki Swim Club of Oahu.‎ C. He became a taxi driver after he graduated from school.‎ D. He was the champion in the first Ironman Triathlon.‎ ‎42. What does the underlined word “prowess” in the first paragraph mean?‎ A. muscles B. skills C. balance D. reaction ‎43. The Ironman race was born due to the fact that__________.‎ A. The two clubs fought over who made better athletes.‎ B. Gordon Haller wanted to show his great endurance.‎ C. The combined race can help choose the most athletic.‎ - 29 -‎ D. Club members wanted to improve their physical abilities.‎ ‎44. What can we infer from the passage about the first Ironman Triathlon?‎ A. Participants had to choose two from the three races in the first Ironman Triathlon.‎ B. Haller may not have known the rules of it before he showed up for the event.‎ C. No other competitors other than Haller finished the races in the end.‎ D. Sixteen competitors in total participated in it on February morning.‎ ‎45 What does the last paragraph try to tell us?‎ A. It is the participation rather than victory that counts.‎ B. The current Ironman Triathlon is different from the original one.‎ C. The victors respond excitedly when crossing the finish line.‎ D. The event attracts many people because it creates good fortune.‎ ‎【答案】40. D 41. D 42. B 43. C 44. B 45. A ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了铁人三项赛的创立和历史上第一位铁人三项赛冠军。‎ ‎【40题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“Yet only one definition of the term truly lives up to its name: the Ironman triathlon held annually in Hawaii, a picturesque setting for a challenging race(然而，只有一种定义名副其实：每年在风景如画的夏威夷举行的铁人三项赛)”可知，本文所指的应是“铁人三项赛”，是一种运动比赛。故选D项。‎ ‎【41题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容“at the end of the day, he became the first Ironman champion in history”可知，他成为了历史上第一个铁人三项冠军。选项D“He was the champion in the first Ironman Triathlon.”与原文内容表达信息一致。故选D项。‎ ‎【42题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在句“which demands amazing physical prowess and the ability to swim, bike, and run a marathon, all in less than 12 hours with no break.”可知，and为并列连词，划线单词应是与之后的ability为并列结构，同义表达，ability句中指“能力”，由此可推知“prowess”应是“技能”含义。故选B项。‎ ‎【43题详解】‎ - 29 -‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“The race originated in a somewhat amusing way. The members of the two popular sports clubs, the Mid-Pacific Road Runners of Honolulu and the Waikiki Swim Club of Oahu, had a long-standing and good-natured debate going over who made better athletes: runners or swimmers. However, some local bikes thought both clubs were wrong, claiming that they, in fact, deserved the title. Wanting to settle the dispute once and for all, they decided to combine three separate races already held annually on the island into one massive test of endurance.(这场比赛以某种有趣的方式开始。火奴鲁鲁的中太平洋公路赛跑者和瓦胡岛的怀基基游泳俱乐部这两个受欢迎的体育俱乐部的成员就谁是更好的运动员进行了一场长期友好的辩论：赛跑者还是游泳者。然而，一些当地自行车俱乐部认为这两个俱乐部都错了，声称他们事实上应该获得冠军。为了一劳永逸地解决争议，他们决定将岛上每年举行的三场独立比赛合并成一场耐力的大规模测试。)”可知，设立这项比赛的初衷是综合比赛可以帮助选择最具运动能力的运动员。故选C项。‎ ‎【44题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章第四段内容He quickly scanned the few pages of rules and instructions, and on the last page he discovered a sentence that would become the race’s famous slogan: “Swim 2.4 miles! Bike 112 miles! Run 26.2 miles! Brag for the rest of your life!” Haller took that to heart, and at the end of the day, he became the first Ironman champion in history(他迅速浏览了几页规则和说明，在最后一页，他发现了一句将成为比赛著名口号的话：“游2.4英里！自行车112英里！跑26.2 milcsl吹牛一辈子！”Haller将此铭记于心，最终，他成为历史上第一位铁人三项冠军)可知，他没有仔细浏览规则，受到口号的激励而奋勇拼搏成为历史上第一位铁人三项冠军。选项B“Haller may not have known the rules of it before he showed up for the event.”(Haller在参加比赛前可能不知道比赛规则。)为合理推断。故选B项。‎ ‎【45题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章末尾内容“The competitors who complete the race don’t have to be the first across the finish line to claim success: just finishing is a victory onto itself.”可知，完成比赛的参赛者不一定是第一个冲过终点线的人才能宣称成功，仅仅是完成比赛本身就是一种胜利，可推知，作者最后一段想要表达的是：重要的是参与，而不是胜利。故选A项。‎ ‎【点睛】细节理解题 ‎ - 29 -‎ 考查内容主要涉及时间、地点、人物、事件、原因、结果、数字等议论文中例证细节和定义类细节。这类题目的共同特点是：答案一般都能在文章中找到。当然，答案并不一定是文章中的原句，考生需要根据文章提供的信息自己组织语句回答问题。比如文章的第1小题：‎ ‎1. The “Iron Man” in the passage above refers to ____________. ‎ A. a folk song B. a movie character ‎ C. a triathlon athlete D. a sports event 根据关键词定位到文章内容“Yet only one definition of the term truly lives up to its name: the Ironman triathlon held annually in Hawaii, a picturesque setting for a challenging race”，可知，本文中的“Iron Man”应是“the Ironman triathlon(铁人三项赛)”，一种运动赛事。故选D项为答案。‎ C Spending over a year in the bleak (荒凉的) Antarctica might change your brain for the worse, according to new research out this month. It seems to show that polar explorers who lived for 14 months at an Antarctica research station experienced brain shrinkage, likely as a result of their loneliness and boredom.‎ The study’s authors used MRI (核磁共振) to scan the brains of eight members of a team before they began a long stay at the German-run research station. During their mission. the team periodically took tests of their cognition and memory and provided blood samples that allowed the study authors to measure their levels of a protein important for brain health called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). When they returned, they had their brains scanned again.‎ Finally, compared to themselves before the mission, the explorers' brains appeared to have less grey matter on average. The shrinkage was most apparent in the hippocampus, in area of the brain key to memory and cognition. Their average levels of BDNF also dropped during the trip and didn’t improve significantly even after one-and-a-half months back home.‎ The study's findings, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, aren't the first to suggest that long time of being separated can change the brain. But practically all of this work has involved animals, according to the researchers.‎ Of course, an eight-person study is small, so any of its conclusions should be taken with caution. Lead author Alexander C. Stahn, now a researcher at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, said that the effects on the hippocampus are likely temporary, provided the scientists returned back to a life filled with social interaction and interesting things to see.‎ Still, since people will continue traveling to and from Antarctica for long periods of time, the findings are definitely worth keeping in mind and exploring further. They might even prove relevant - 29 -‎ ‎ for the rare few people who might travel as far as Mars in the future — perhaps the only similarly scientific, months-long mission that would be even more lonely.‎ ‎46. What will do damage to the brain according to the first paragraph?‎ A. Doing research in brain shrinkage B. Traveling to the Antarctica.‎ C. Working as a researcher in a station. D. Being in a lonely place for a long time.‎ ‎47. How did the scientists get the conclusion?‎ A. By comparing the scanned results. B. By studying the previous figures.‎ C. By making a long-term program. D. By scanning the participants’ brains.‎ ‎48. What can we infer about the explorers when they returned?‎ A. They were no longer used to the civilized world.‎ B. They had some difficulty in remembering things.‎ C. They became normal after one-and-a-half months.‎ D. They published their findings in a medical magazine.‎ ‎49. What can we learn about the study?‎ A. The scientists are provided with various social activities.‎ B. Long time of being separated can change the brain of all animals.‎ C. Other researches have the same findings as the study.‎ D. Its conclusion may be relevant for those who arc fond of travelling.‎ ‎50. What is the last paragraph mainly about?‎ A. The importance of the finding. B. The disadvantage of the finding.‎ C. The future development of the space. D. The possibility of travelling to Mars.‎ ‎【答案】46. D 47. A 48. B 49. C 50. A ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了有研究表明，在一个孤独的地方呆了很长时间会对大脑造成损害。文介绍了这项研究的过程、相关研究人员对此的看法和这一发现的重要性。‎ ‎【46题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段Spending over a year in the bleak (荒凉的) Antarctica might change your brain for the worse, according to new research out this month. It seems to show that polar explorers who lived for 14 months at an Antarctica research station experienced brain shrinkage, likely as a result of their loneliness and boredom.‎ - 29 -‎ 可知，根据本月公布的一项新研究，在荒凉的南极洲度过一年多可能会让你的大脑变得更糟。这似乎表明，在南极研究站生活了14个月的极地探险家的大脑出现了萎缩，可能是由于他们的孤独和无聊。由此可知，在一个孤独的地方呆了很长时间会对大脑造成损害。故选D。‎ ‎【47题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段The study’s authors used MRI (核磁共振) to scan the brains of eight members of a team before they began a long stay at the German-run research station. During their mission. the team periodically took tests of their cognition and memory and provided blood samples that allowed the study authors to measure their levels of a protein important for brain health called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). When they returned, they had their brains scanned again.(该研究的作者在一个团队的8名成员开始在德国运营的研究站长期停留之前，使用核磁共振成像扫描了他们的大脑。在他们执行任务过程中，研究小组定期对他们的认知和记忆进行测试，并提供血样，使研究作者能够测量他们的一种叫做脑源性神经营养因子的蛋白质水平，这种蛋白质对大脑健康很重要。当他们返回时，再次对他们的大脑进行扫描)以及第三段Finally, compared to themselves before the mission, the explorers' brains appeared to have less grey matter on average. The shrinkage was most apparent in the hippocampus, in area of the brain key to memory and cognition. Their average levels of BDNF also dropped during the trip and didn’t improve significantly even after one-and-a-half months back home.可知，最后，与执行任务前相比，探险者的大脑平均灰质较少。海马的萎缩最为明显，海马是大脑中记忆和认知的关键区域。他们的平均BDNF水平在旅途中也有所下降，即使在回家一个半月后也没有明显改善。由此可知，科学家通过比较扫描结果得出结论。故选A。‎ ‎【48题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段中Finally, compared to themselves before the mission, the explorers' brains appeared to have less grey matter on average. The shrinkage was most apparent in the hippocampus, in area of the brain key to memory and cognition.可知，最后，与执行任务前相比，探险家的大脑平均灰质较少。海马的萎缩最为明显，海马是大脑中记忆和认知的关键区域。由此可推知，当探险家返回时，他们在记忆方面有些困难。故选B。‎ ‎【49题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第四段中The study's findings, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, aren't the first to suggest that long time of being separated can change the brain.‎ - 29 -‎ 可知，这项研究发表在《新英格兰医学杂志》上，并不是第一个表明长时间的隔绝会改变大脑的研究。由此可知，其他研究与本研究有相同的发现。故选C。‎ ‎【50题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据最后一段Still, since people will continue traveling to and from Antarctica for long periods of time, the findings are definitely worth keeping in mind and exploring further. They might even prove relevant for the rare few people who might travel as far as Mars in the future — perhaps the only similarly scientific, months- long mission that would be even more lonely.可知，尽管如此，由于人们将在很长一段时间内继续往返于南极洲之间，这些发现绝对值得我们牢记在心，并进行进一步探索。他们甚至可能会被证明与未来可能远行到火星的极少数人有关——也许只有类似的科学性、长达数月的任务才会更加孤独。由此可知，最后一段主要讲了这一发现的重要性。故选A。‎ D A remote control is seemingly capable of invisible magic to most of us. We just assume it should. And the longer a given technology exits, the more we take it for granted.‎ Consider for a moment a split screen showing modem remote control users versus the first remote control users: the original users would be carefully aiming the remote directly at the television, reading the names of the buttons to find the right one, and intentionally pressing the button with a force that adds nothing to the effectiveness of the device. The modern users would be leaning on a sofa, pointing the remote any which way instinctively （本能的）feeling for the button they desired, intuiting（凭直觉知道）its size,shape, and position on the remote.‎ Humans are known for being handy with tools, so it is no surprise that we get so comfortable with our technology. However, as we become increasingly comfortable with how to use new technologies, we become less aware of how they work. Most people who use modern technology know nothing of its underlying science. They have spent neither mental nor financial resources on its development. And yet, rather than be humbled（使谦逊）by its originality, we consumers often become unfairly demanding of what our technology Should do for us.‎ Many of the landmark inventions of the twentieth century followed predictable tracks: initial versions of each technology (television, video games, computers, cell phones, etc.) succeeded in impressing the general public. Then, these wonderful new inventions quickly became commonplace. Soon, the focus of consumer attitudes towards them changed from gratitude with respect to discriminating preference.‎ - 29 -‎ Televisions needed to be bigger and have a higher resolution. Video games needed to be more realistic. Computers needed to be more powerful yet smaller in size. Cell phones needed to be smaller yet capable of performing other tasks such as taking pictures, accessing the Internet, and even playing movies.‎ For children of the last twenty years born into this modern life, these technological marvels seem like elements of the periodic table: a given ingredient that is simply part of the universe. Younger generations don't even try to imagine life without modem conveniences. They do not appreciate the unprecedented（史无前例的）technology that is in their possession; rather, they complain about the ways in which it fails to live up to ideal expectations. “My digital video recorder at home doesn't allow me to program it from my computer at work.” “It's taking too long for this interactive map to display on my portable GPS”.‎ If it sounds as though we're never satisfied, we aren't. Of course, our complaints do actually motivate engineers to continually refine their products. After all. at the root of our tool-making instinct is the notion (观念）that “there must be a better way.” Thus, the shortcomings of any current version of technology are pinned on the limitations of its designers, and the expectation is that someone, somewhere is working on how to make the existing product even better.‎ ‎51. The second paragraph is used to suggest that______________.‎ A. modem humans do not pay enough attention to instructions B. remote controls have become far more effective over the years C. consumer behavior toward new forms of technology changes over time D. the first consumers of new technology used new devices with ease and comfort ‎52. The passage states that original users of remote controls likely__________.‎ A. have no instinctive feeling for sizes and shapes B. press the buttons harder than it is necessary C. don't trust on the effectiveness of remote control D. have difficulty reading the names of the buttons ‎53 Which of the following can illustrate people's discriminating preference?‎ A. People take a given technology for granted.‎ B. Consumers expect more powerful computers.‎ C. Children lack patience with the shortcomings of technology.‎ - 29 -‎ D. Original users unfairly demand of what technology should do.‎ ‎54. What does the underlined statement in paragraph 6 probably mean?‎ A. Space exploration provides us with new technology.‎ B. Adults learn technology while they are doing household chores.‎ C. High expectation makes up for the limitation of technology designers.‎ D. Consumers regard many technological inventions as unremarkable ‎55. The writer thinks the way people consider technology____________.‎ A. encourage designers' creativity B. limit humans’ productivity C. raise consumers' expectation D. guarantee users' satisfaction ‎【答案】51. C 52. B 53. B 54. D 55. A ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了消费者对新技术形式的行为会随着时间的推移而改变。每种技术（电视、视频游戏、计算机、手机等）的最初版本成功地给大众留下了深刻的印象。然后，这些奇妙的新发明很快就变得司空见惯了。很快，消费者对他们的态度焦点从感恩转向歧视性偏好。当然，人们看待技术的方式确实鼓励了设计师的创造力。‎ ‎【51题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段the original users would be carefully aiming the remote directly at the television, reading the names of the buttons to find the right one, and intentionally pressing the button with a force that adds nothing to the effectiveness of the device. The modern users would be leaning on a sofa, pointing the remote any which way instinctively （本能的）feeling for the button they desired, intuiting（凭直觉知道）its size,shape, and position on the remote.（最初的用户会仔细地将遥控器对准电视机，阅读按钮的名称以找到正确的按钮，然后有意地以一种不会增加设备有效性的力度按下按钮。现代的用户可能会靠在沙发上，将遥控器指向任何方向，本能地感受他们想要的按钮，凭直觉判断遥控器的大小、形状和位置）可推知第二段是用来说明消费者对新技术形式的行为会随着时间的推移而改变。故选C。‎ ‎【52题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段the original users would be carefully aiming the remote directly at the television, reading the names of the buttons to find the right one, and intentionally pressing the button with a force that adds nothing to the effectiveness of the device.‎ - 29 -‎ ‎（最初的用户会仔细地将遥控器对准电视机，阅读按钮的名称以找到正确的按钮，然后有意地以一种不会增加设备有效性的力度按下按钮）可知文中指出，最初使用遥控器的用户按下按钮的力度可能比必要的更大。故选B。‎ ‎【53题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第四段Soon, the focus of consumer attitudes towards them changed from gratitude with respect to discriminating preference.（很快，消费者对他们的态度重心从感恩转向了歧视性偏好）和第五段Computers needed to be more powerful yet smaller in size.（计算机需要功能更强大但体积更小）可知“消费者期待更强大的电脑” 可以说明人们的歧视性偏好。故选B。‎ ‎【54题详解】‎ 词句猜测题。根据划线句后面的句子a given ingredient that is simply part of the universe. Younger generations don't even try to imagine life without modem conveniences. They do not appreciate the unprecedented（史无前例的）technology that is in their possession; rather, they complain about the ways in which it fails to live up to ideal expectations.（一个给定的成分，只是宇宙的一部分。年轻一代甚至不去想象没有现代便利设施的生活。他们不欣赏他们所拥有的前所未有的技术;相反，他们抱怨它无法达到理想的期望）可推知，划线的句子意思是消费者认为许多技术发明很平常。故选D。‎ ‎【55题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段Of course, our complaints do actually motivate engineers to continually refine their products. （当然，我们的抱怨确实激励着工程师不断改进他们的产品）可推知作者认为人们看待技术的方式鼓励了设计师的创造力。故选A。‎ 第II卷 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达 阅读下列短文，按照要求用英文回答问题.‎ When Veronika Scott was a student at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. Michigan, she received a task to “design to fill a need.”She dreamed up an idea for overcoats that would double as sleeping bags, made 25 of them, and handed them out to people living in shelters on an abandoned city playground. While her efforts were greeted mostly with enthusiasm from those braving Detroit's cold winters, one woman voiced dissatisfaction. “We don't need coats; we need jobs.” she told Veronika. Then she had her second inspiration.‎ - 29 -‎ After graduating from college in 2012, Veronika founded the Empowerment Plan, a nonprofit organization. She hired two homeless women to sew the coats and paid them with donations she received through her blog. Now, the Empowerment Plan employs about 20 people and has produced more than 10,000 coats and distributed them in 30 states, Canada, and elsewhere abroad.‎ ‎“We don't require previous employment,” Veronika says. “We’re looking for people who are motivated." The Empowerment Plan provides free classes and lends money to those who qualify. Nearly all the employees eventually move into permanent housing, and some get jobs in the auto industry and construction.‎ Veronika has bettered the coat's design by making its outer layer of a lightweight material that resists air, wind, and water and its inner layer of a material that stores body heat. Still, Veronika is less focused on the coats than on the workers who make them. “At the end of the day,” she says, “the coat is a vehicle for us to employ people.”‎ ‎56. What did Veronika Scott do to finish her task from her studies? (no more than 15 words)‎ ‎57. Where did Veronika Scott get her second inspiration?(no more than 10 words)‎ ‎58. What is Veronika’s purpose of founding Empowerment Plan? (no more than 10 words)‎ ‎59. What does the underlined word mean in the Paragraph?(no more than 1 words)‎ ‎60. What do you think of Veronika? Why? (no more than 20 words)‎ ‎【答案】56. She designed and made overcoats and gave them away to homeless people.‎ Or: She made overcoats and handed them out to the homeless. ‎ ‎57. From the woman who voiced her dissatisfaction.‎ Or: From the woman who was dissatisfied with what she did ‎ ‎58. To enable homeless people to help themselves.‎ Or: To help homeless people make a living on their own ‎ ‎59. Way.‎ Or. Method. ‎ ‎60. She is caring and creative, because she has come up with several ideas to help the poor.‎ ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了Veronika Sott 通过给流浪者设计睡袋，并通过the Empowerment Plan（赋权计划）给无家可归的人提供工作机会，进而帮助他们改变现状的故事。‎ - 29 -‎ ‎【56题详解】‎ 细节理解题。从第一段的句子She dreamed up an idea for overcoats that would double as sleeping bags, made 25 of them, and handed them out to people living in shelters on an abandoned city playground. 可知，她想出了一个主意，可以兼做睡袋的大衣，她做了25件，并分发给住在城市废弃操场上避难所的人们。结合字数限制，故答案是She designed and made overcoats and gave them away to homeless people. Or: She made overcoats and handed them out to the homeless.‎ ‎【57题详解】‎ 推理判断题。从第一段的句子…one woman voiced dissatisfaction. “We don't need coats; we need jobs.” she told Veronika. Then she had her second inspiration. …一位女性表达了不满。她对Veronika说：“我们不需要大衣，我们需要工作。” 于是Veronika就有了第二灵感。又从第二段的句子：After graduating from college in 2012, Veronika founded the Empowerment Plan, a nonprofit organization. 2012年大学毕业后，Veronika创立了非盈利组织“赋权计划”。推理可知，Veronika的第二个灵感是因为那位女性的表达的不满言语得来的，结合字数限制，故答案是From the woman who voiced her dissatisfaction. Or: From the woman who was dissatisfied with what she did ‎【58题详解】‎ 推理判断题。从第二段句子She hired two homeless women to sew the coats and paid them with donations she received through her blog. 她雇佣了两名无家可归的妇女来缝制这些外套，并用她通过博客收到的捐款来支付她们的工资。又从第三段句子Nearly all the employees eventually move into permanent housing, and some get jobs in the auto industry and construction. 几乎所有的雇员最终都搬进了永久性住房，有些人也在汽车行业和建筑业找到了工作。由此可推之，创办Empowerment Plan的目的就是为了给无家可归的人提供帮助，给他们工作机会，自己谋生。结合字数限制，故答案是To enable homeless people to help themselves. Or: To help homeless people make a living on their own ‎【59题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。从第四句Veronika is less focused on the coats than on the workers who make them. “At the end of the day,” she says, “the coat is a vehicle for us to employ people.” 不过，比起外套，Veronika更关注生产这些外套的工人。“说到底，”她说，“这件外套是我们雇佣员工的工具。”可推知，Veronika更关注的是生产工人，而不是外套本身，因此外套只是雇佣员工的一个方法而已。结合字数限制，故答案是Way. Or. Method.‎ - 29 -‎ ‎60题详解】‎ 推理判断题。从第一段句子Then she had her second inspiration.可知，然后她就有了第二个灵感。由此可推知，她能从身边的事情中获取灵感，证明了她具有创造力。又从第三段句子The Empowerment Plan provides free classes and lends money to those who qualify. 授权计划提供免费课程，并借钱给那些有资格的人。可推知，她创办的非营利组织非常具有关怀性。结合字数限制，故答案是She is caring and creative, because she has come up with several ideas to help the poor.‎ ‎【点睛】阅读表达题测试目的是从多方位多角度考查阅读获取信息、处理信息并进行书面表达的能力。比传统的阅读理解题型更具有综合性和主观性，更能体现学生的综合语言运用能力。在回答问题前，要认真审题，判断问题的类型，弄清题目目的要求；回答要有针对性，避免答非所问；同时还要注意问题后的字数要求，回答要简洁，语言表达准确。‎ 第二节：书面表达 ‎61. 假设你是高三学生李津，你的美国朋友James接到华盛顿大学的录取通知，现正在考虑住宿问题。他有两个选择；每月花450美元与随机分配的某位新生合住一间学校宿舍；或者每月花600美元与朋友同租设备齐全离学校步行而是分钟的公寓。他写信征求你的建议。请你给他写封回信，‎ 主要内容如下：1.祝贺他被华盛顿大学录取。‎ ‎2.给出你的建议及理由。‎ 注意：1.词数不少于100词 ‎2.信的开头和结尾已经给出，不计入总词数 Dear James:‎ - 29 -‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ Yours Li Jin ‎【答案】I am very glad to hear that you have been admitted to the University of Washington.
