He’s just a friend. We’ll talk about that another time”.‎ ‎“I’m sorry. I made a mistake.” He seemed disappointed.‎ Our food arrived and Mr Wolfsheim started to eat hungrily. Gatsby leaned towards me. “I’m sorry, old sport. I think I made you angry this morning.”‎ ‎“I don’t like mysteries,” I replied coldly. “Why did you involve Miss Baker? Can’t you tell me yourself?”‎ ‎“Oh, she doesn’t mind,” he said.‎ Then he looked at his watch, jumped up suddenly and hurried from the room.‎ ‎“He has to telephone,” Wolfsheim explained. He followed Gatsby with his eyes. “A handsome man and a perfect gentleman, isn’t he?”‎ ‎“Yes.”‎ ‎“He is an Oxford man.”‎ ‎“Oh.”‎ ‎“He went to Oxford College in England. Do you know it?”‎ ‎“I’ve heard of it.”‎ ‎“It’s one of the most famous colleges in the world.”‎ ‎“Have you known Gatsby long?” I enquired.‎ ‎“For several years,” he answered. “I met him just after the war. After talking to him for an hour, I knew he was a gentleman---the kind of man you would introduce to your mother, or your sister.”‎ ‎“Yes.”‎ ‎“Yeah, Gatsby’s careful about women. He would never look at a friend’s wife.”‎ When Gatsby returned, Wolfsheim drank his coffee and got up. “I enjoyed my lunch,” he said, “but now I’m going to leave you two young men together.”‎ ‎“Don’t hurry, Meyer!” Gatsby said, but there was no enthusiasm in his voice.‎ ‎“You’re very polite, but I’m an old man,” Wolfsheim replied. “You stay here and discuss your sports and ladies.”‎ After he had left, Gatsby said, “Everyone in New York knows him.”‎ ‎“Is he an actor?”‎ ‎“No, Meyer Wolfsheim’s a gambler.” Gatsby hesitated, then added coolly, “He’s the man who fixed the World Series in 1919.”‎ I was shocked. I had never imagined that only one man was responsible for cheating fifty million people.‎ ‎“How did he do that?” I asked.‎ ‎“He just saw an opportunity.”‎ ‎“Why isn’t he in jail?”‎ ‎“They can’t get him, old sport. He’s a smart man.”‎ ‎1. What impression of Gatsby is Mr. Wolfsheim trying to give Nick?‎ A. Dangerous and should never be trusted.‎ B. On the edge of bankruptcy with bad investment C. Interested in politics other than anything else D. A gentleman who is worthy of people’s trust ‎2. What do you think the relationship between Gatsby and Wolfsheim is?‎ A. Business partners. B. Relatives.‎ C. Neighbours. D. Friends.‎ ‎3. Which of the following word can be used to describe Gatsby’s attitude to Wolfsheim?‎ A. positive B. supportive C. appreciative D. sensitive ‎【答案】1. D 2. A 3. C ‎【解析】‎ 本文是记叙文。文章描述了盖茨比、沃尔夫希姆和作者之间的一次对话。‎ ‎【1题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文中“I met him just after the war. After talking to him for an hour, I knew he was a gentleman---the kind of man you would introduce to your mother, or your sister.”“Yes.”（“战争刚结束我就认识他了。跟他谈了一个小时后，我知道他是一位绅士——那种你会介绍给你母亲或妹妹的人。”“是的。”）可知，沃尔夫希姆先生想给尼克留下盖茨比的印象是——盖茨比是一个值得人们信任的绅士。故选D。‎ ‎【2题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文中Wolfsheim returned to me (Nick, narrator of the story).“I understand you are looking for a business connection,” he said. Gatsby answered for me, “No, this isn’t the man. He’s just a friend. We’ll talk about that another time”.（沃尔夫山姆回到我身边(尼克，故事的叙述者)。他说:“我知道你们在寻找业务关系。”盖茨比替我回答说:“不，不是这个人。他只是个朋友。我们下次再谈。”）可知，沃尔夫希姆以为作者在寻找业务关系，而盖茨比的回答“不，不是这个人。他只是个朋友。我们下次再谈”表明，盖茨比和沃尔夫希姆之间可能是商业伙伴关系。故选A。‎ ‎【3题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文中After he had left, Gatsby said, "Everyone in New York knows him."（他走后，盖茨比说:“全纽约的人都认识他。”）可知，沃尔夫希姆的名气很大。再根据文中“They can’t get him, old sport. He’s a smart ‎ man.”（“他们抓不到他，老兄。他是个聪明人。”）可知，盖茨比认为沃尔夫希姆是个很聪明的人。由此推知，盖茨比某种程度上是欣赏沃尔夫希姆的。结合选项：A. positive积极的；B. supportive支持的；C. appreciative感激的，欣赏的；D. sensitive敏感的。故选C。‎ B Late US artist Andy Warhol is believed to have once said, “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.”‎ But in this age of social media, selfies (自拍), and the Internet, it’s hard to say what “fame” actually is.‎ In the movie Vox Lux (《光之声》), which was first shown this month at the Venice Film Festival, US director Brady Corbet tries to answer that question.‎ ‎“Fame is a commodification of everything, where violence becomes something you sell, news becomes something you sell, even private life does,” the movie’s star Natalie Portman told reporters at the Toronto International Film Festival.‎ In the movie, the Israeli-US actress plays the lead role of Celeste, a pop singer who’s 14 years into a hugely successful career. By that point, however, the character has become bitter (忿忿不平的) and her fame is beginning to fade – compared to her younger self, a sweet and carefree girl who suddenly finds herself in the spotlight.‎ This is a classic (经典的) tale of a rise to fame, but in today’s world of social media, it’s easy for just about anyone with a smartphone to become famous. But as more and more people search for the spotlight, this may add pressure on many of us to keep up with the “perfect” lives we see on the Internet.‎ ‎“It appears that most people are living lives full of nothing but happiness, love, and rewarding events and experiences,” psychologist (心理学家) Kurt Smith wrote on HuffPost.‎ That isn’t to say that everyone uses their popularity to make others feel bad about themselves. Take UK beauty blogger Em Ford for example. In 2015, the online star, known for her makeup tutorials (教程), posted a video in which she slowly removed her flawless makeup, showing her bad skin underneath (在下面). “I wanted to create a film that showed how social media can set unrealistic expectations for both women and men,” Ford wrote in the video’s description.‎ So, it seems that the definition of fame changes all the time. But if Vox Lux ‎ teaches us one lesson, it’s that if we’re lucky enough to obtain the “commodity” of fame, we should spend it wisely.‎ ‎4. What is fame in Natalie Portman’s eyes?‎ A. It is something one should try to avoid.‎ B. It is becoming famous in a short time.‎ C. It changes everything in our life into a commodity.‎ D. It is the popularity created by social media, selfies and the Internet.‎ ‎5. What is the movie Vox Lux mainly about, according to the article?‎ A. It’s about how fame puts pressure on all of us.‎ B. It’s about how we should deal with fame well.‎ C. It’s about the life of a troubled pop star.‎ D. It’s about why most people take to fame.‎ ‎6. The author uses Em Ford’s example mainly to ______.‎ A. stress the importance of showing the truth to the public B. prove that some people use their fame to guide others C. explain how social media sets unrealistic expectations on people D. show that the definition of fame changes all the time ‎7. What is the author’s attitude toward fame?‎ A. Worried. B. Objective.‎ C. Unclear. D. Approving.‎ ‎【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. B ‎【解析】‎ 本文是说明文。作者向我们介绍了在当今这个社交媒体、自拍和网络的时代，名望的定义一直在变化。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Fame is a commodification of everything, where violence becomes something you sell, news becomes something you sell, even private life does,” the movie’s star Natalie Portman told reporters at the Toronto International Film ‎ Festival.（电影明星娜塔莉·波特曼在多伦多国际电影节上对记者说：“名望是一切事物的商品化，暴力变成了你卖的东西，新闻变成了你卖的东西，甚至私人生活也是如此。”）可知，娜塔莉•波特曼认为名望是一切事物的商品化，也就是说她认为名望把我们生活中的一切都变成了商品。故选C。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第五段中的In the movie, the Israeli-US actress plays the lead role of Celeste, a pop singer who’s 14 years into a hugely successful career. By that point, however, the character has become bitter (忿忿不平的) and her fame is beginning to fade – compared to her younger self, a sweet and carefree girl who suddenly finds herself in the spotlight.（在这部电影中，这位以色列裔美国女演员扮演主角塞莱斯特，一位事业成功14年的流行歌手。然而，到了那个时候，这个角色已经变得苦涩，她的名气也开始消退——与她年轻的自己相比，她是一个甜美无忧无虑的女孩，突然发现自己在聚光灯下）可知，电影 Vox Lux中的主角塞莱斯特已经变得苦涩，她的名气也开始消退，由此可知这是一部关于一个陷入困境的流行歌星的生活的电影。故选C。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的That isn’t to say that everyone uses their popularity to make others feel bad about themselves. Take UK beauty blogger Em Ford for example.（这并不意味着所有人都用自己的人气来让他人感到自卑。以英国美女博客Em Ford为例）及“I wanted to create a film that showed how social media can set unrealistic expectations for both women and men,” Ford wrote in the video’s description.（“我希望做一段影片，展现社交媒体是如何让男男女女都产生了不切实际的期待，”福特在视频介绍中写道。。”）可推知，作者主要用埃姆·福特的例子来证明有些人没有利用自己的人气让别人感到自卑，而是利用自己的名声来引导别人。故选B。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的if we’re lucky enough to obtain the “commodity” of fame, we should spend it wisely.（如果我们有幸能获得名气这件“商品”，我们应当明智地使用它），所以判断出，作者对名望持客观的态度。故选B。‎ C Teenagers in the US know they’ll probably need tech skills to land good jobs, but a new survey suggests that interest in tech careers may be decreasing (减少).‎ The percentage of boys aged 13 to 17 who are interested in science, technology, engineering (工程) and math – or STEM – careers dropped from 36 percent in 2017‎ ‎ to 24 percent this year, according to a survey by Junior Achievement USA. The amount of girls interested in STEM careers stayed unchanged at 11 percent.‎ But the 1,000 survey participants still named technology as one of two key skills that will be necessary to prepare them for their future careers.‎ ‎“Kids don’t understand how technology can be applied to careers outside of computers, coding (编码) and maybe robotics (机器人学),” said Tammera L. Holmes, president of aviation consulting firm AeroStar Consulting. “That’s all they know, so they can’t really translate that interest to career pathways (职业道路).”‎ When Holmes was in high school, her mom sent her to an event that featured (以……为专题) the Tuskegee Airmen, famous military (军事的) pilots from World War II. One of the pilots took her for a ride and let her take the wheel. “I was 16 years old, flying over Lake Michigan, facing down the skyline, and I knew immediately that was the career for me,” she said.‎ Women remain outnumbered by men in fields like technology. For people working to increase the number of women in these areas, the lack of growth in girls’ interest in STEM careers is concerning.‎ Teenage girls are more interested than their male classmates in pursuing (追求) careers in which they can help others, said Ed Grocholski from Junior Achievement. Even with all the programs aimed at increasing girls’ interest in STEM, “I don’t think we really talk that much about how we improve people’s lives through STEM,” Grocholski said.‎ Society needs to do better at making those connections for kids, said Katherine Latham, founder of an engineering firm. She used civil engineering (土木工程) as an example of a career that will continue to be crucial.‎ However, the fact that students know they will need tech skills in their future careers is encouraging. The second skill they said they need? Relationship-building.‎ ‎“That’s going to be the new breed (类型) of engineers,” Latham said.‎ ‎8. What is the reason behind kids’ falling interest in tech careers?‎ A. They find tech careers too boring.‎ B. They find tech skills are less important than before.‎ C. They can’t connect their tech interest to future careers.‎ D. They don’t think tech careers are rewarding enough.‎ ‎9. What started Holmes’ interest in her current career?‎ A. A documentary about the life of pilots.‎ B. A summer camp for trainee pilots.‎ C. Her parents’ wish for her to become a pilot.‎ D. Her flight experience with a pilot.‎ ‎10. According to Grocholski teenage girls are more interested in careers that ______.‎ A. can improve people’s lives.‎ B. will make them look beautiful.‎ C. are different from those of their parents.‎ D. can socialize more with other people.‎ ‎11. What is the article mainly about?‎ A. The popularity of tech careers among kids and its reasons.‎ B. Reasons behind the change of kids’ interest in tech careers.‎ C. The different careers boys and girls in the US will pursue.‎ D. Some examples of kids pursuing tech careers successfully.‎ ‎【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是说明文。文章介绍了孩子们对技术性职业兴趣改变的原因。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第四段中的That’s all they know, so they can’t really translate that interest to career pathways (职业道路).（他们只知道这些，所以他们无法将这种兴趣转化为职业道路）可推知，孩子们对技术性职业兴趣下降的原因是他们无法将自己的技术兴趣与未来的职业联系起来。故选C。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“I was 16 years old, flying over Lake Michigan, facing down the skyline, and I knew immediately that was the career for me,” she ‎ said.（“当时我16岁，飞过密歇根湖上空，面朝地平线，我立刻意识到这就是我的职业，”她说）可知，福尔摩斯和飞行员一起飞行的经历让她对她现在的事业产生了兴趣。故选D。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第七段中的Teenage girls are more interested than their male classmates in pursuing (追求) careers in which they can help others, said Ed Grocholski from Junior Achievement.（青少年成就组织的格罗乔斯基说，十几岁的女孩比她们的男同学更有兴趣追求可以帮助他人的事业）可知，据格罗乔斯基认为十几岁的女孩比她们的男同学更有兴趣追求可以帮助他人的事业，由此推知，十几岁的女孩对能改善人们生活的职业更感兴趣。故选A。‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的Teenagers in the US know they’ll probably need tech skills to land good jobs, but a new survey suggests that interest in tech careers may be decreasing (减少).（美国青少年知道他们可能需要科技技能才能找到好工作，但一项新的调查显示，青少年对技术性职业的兴趣可能正在下降）及下文该项调查的介绍可知，本文主要介绍了孩子们对技术性职业兴趣改变的原因。故选B。‎ ‎【点睛】做阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。第3小题，According to Grocholski, teenage girls are more interested in careers that ______.要求考生判断出罗乔斯基认为十几岁的女孩对什么样的职业更感兴趣。根据第七段中的Teenage girls are more interested than their male classmates in pursuing (追求) careers in which they can help others, said Ed Grocholski from Junior Achievement.（青少年成就组织的格罗乔斯基说，十几岁的女孩比她们的男同学更有兴趣追求可以帮助他人的事业）可知，据格罗乔斯基认为十几岁的女孩比她们的男同学更有兴趣追求可以帮助他人的事业，由此推知，十几岁的女孩对能改善人们生活的职业更感兴趣。故选A。‎ D When she first started learning about climate change from one of her elders, Fawn Sharp was invited on a helicopter flight over the Olympic Mountains to survey the Mount Anderson glacier.‎ But the glacier was gone, melted away by the warming climate.‎ Sharp, president of the Quinault Indian Nation, Washington, US, remembers a deep ‎ sense of loss when she discovered the glacier wasn’t there anymore.‎ Loss is a growing issue for people working and living on the front lines of climate change. And that gave Jennifer Wren Atkinson, a full-time lecturer at the University of Washington Bothell, US, an idea for a class.‎ This quarter, she taught students on the Bothell campus about the emotional burdens of environmental study. She drew on the experiences of Native American tribes (部落), scientists and activists, and asked her 24 students to face the reality that there is no easy fix – that “this is such an intractable problem that they’re going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives.”‎ Student Cody Dillon used to be a climate science skeptic (怀疑论者). Then he did his own reading and research, and changed his mind.‎ Dillon isn’t going into environmental work – he’s a computer-science major. Yet, the potential for a worldwide environmental catastrophe seemed so real to him five years ago that he quit his job and became a full-time volunteer for an environmental group that worked on restoration projects.‎ But six months into the work, he decided that wasn’t the right response, either. “I didn’t really feel like I had an impact,” he said.‎ Atkinson’s class was just what he was looking for – a place where he could discuss his concerns about a changing climate, and also learn more about what’s being done in response. “You really see the amount of passion and drive a lot of these activists are putting in,” he said.‎ Atkinson said she hopes the class helped her students prepare themselves for the amount of environmental loss that will happen over their lifetimes.‎ ‎“We are already transforming the planet – so many species and communities are going to be lost, displaced or massively (巨大地) impacted,” she said. “The future isn’t going to be what they imagined.”‎ Lauren Morrison, another student, said she felt empowered by learning about climate change actions around the globe.‎ ‎“It’s easy to feel defeated, but all over the world, people are stepping up,” she said.‎ ‎12. Why did the author mention the case of Fawn Sharp?‎ A. To lay a basis for Fawn Sharp’s further research.‎ B. To lead into the issue of loss caused by climate change.‎ C. To show scientists’ concern about the Mount Anderson glacier.‎ D. To show Fawn Sharp’s work is similar to Atkinson’s.‎ ‎13. What’s the main purpose of Atkinson’s class?‎ A. To help students face emotional impact of a warming planet.‎ B. To explore how different people deal with climate change.‎ C. To find solutions to the Olympic Mountains’ environmental issue.‎ D. To make students aware of the current state of the global climate.‎ ‎14. The underlined word “intractable” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ________.‎ A. simple B. interesting C. complicated D. common ‎15. How did Atkinson’s class influence Dillon?‎ A. It changed his mind and aroused his interest in climate science.‎ B. It made him realize a planet-wide climate disaster would happen.‎ C. It encouraged him to be more involved in environmental protection.‎ D. It inspired him to work on restoration projects for the environment.‎ ‎【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是说明文。文章主要讲解了Jennifer Wren Atkinson环境保护的课程对学生们的影响。‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段中的Sharp, president of the Quinault Indian Nation, Washington, US, remembers a deep sense of loss when she discovered the glacier wasn’t there anymore.（夏普是位于美国华盛顿的奎诺特印第安民族的主席，她还记得当她发现冰川已经消失时的那种深深的失落感）可知，Fawn Sharp坐直升机前去调查时，发现冰川已经消失，有一种深深的失落感，所以通过作者提到Fawn Sharp发现冰川消失以及她的感受可以推断出作者提出这个例子就是为了引出“气候变化导致损失的问题”。故选B。‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第五段中的This quarter, she taught students on the Bothell campus about the emotional burdens of environmental study.（这个季度，她在博塞尔大学教学生关于环境研究的情感负担）及倒数第四段中的Atkinson said she hopes the class helped her students prepare themselves for the amount of environmental loss that will happen over their lifetimes.（阿特金森说，她希望这门课能帮助学生们为他们一生中将要面临的环境损失做好准备）可推知，阿特金森课程的主要目的在于帮助学生们面对全球变暖带来的情感冲击。故选A。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句She drew on the experiences of Native American tribes (部落), scientists and activists, and asked her 24 students to face the reality that there is no easy fix – that “this is such an intractable problem that they’re going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives.”（她借鉴了美国原住民部落、科学家和活动人士的经验，并要求她的24名学生面对这样一个现实：没有简单的解决办法——“这是一个如此棘手的问题，他们将用余生来解决它）可知，这是一个如此棘手的问题，他们将用余生来解决它。所以解释intractable的最佳词应是complicated“复杂的”。故选C。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第七段中的Yet, the potential for a worldwide environmental catastrophe seemed so real to him five years ago that he quit his job and became a full-time volunteer for an environmental group that worked on restoration projects.（五年前，全球环境灾难的可能性对他来说是如此真实，以至于他辞掉了工作，成为了一个致力于修复项目的环保组织的全职志愿者）可知，狄龙辞掉了工作，成为了一个致力于修复项目的环保组织的全职志愿者，由此可推知，阿特金森课程鼓励他更多地参与环境保护。故选C。‎ ‎【点睛】依据逻辑推理猜测词义：运用逻辑推理猜测词义是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式。要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力，充分利用上下文中相关的词汇并结合具体的语境，从形式和内容上把握语言之间的内在联系，理顺语言之间的逻辑关系，进而达到猜词的目的。在第2小题中，可以根据该划线词所在的上下文语境来推测其意义。根据划线词所在句She drew on the experiences of Native American tribes (部落), scientists and activists, and asked her 24 students to face the reality that there is no easy ‎ fix – that “this is such an intractable problem that they’re going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives.”（她借鉴了美国原住民部落、科学家和活动人士的经验，并要求她的24名学生面对这样一个现实：没有简单的解决办法——“这是一个如此棘手的问题，他们将用余生来解决它）可知，这是一个如此棘手的问题，他们将用余生来解决它。所以解释intractable的最佳词应是complicated“复杂的”。故选C。‎ 第二节七选五阅读理解：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Maybe you are an average student.
