2.WhatkindofconveniencewilltheFordPassbring?

答案：C

点睛解析：选项A“它可以代替驾驶者”文中没有提及；B“可以让车主无论多远都能实时操控自己的爱车”，根据短文最后一句话可排除；D“它让你感觉像在家里一样”同B，所以选C“它能够为车主提供诸如寻找停车位及付款等服务”。

答案：B

点睛解析：新闻最后一句提到“球员们说最近几年来沙特在女性权利方面取得了很大进步，但驾驶权等基本的权利仍难有进步”，由此可知，B是正确答案。A“沙特在妇女权利方面没有任何进展”与文意不符；D“沙特女子可以在大街上穿暴露的衣服”并没有提及，所以排除；C“沙特女子的篮球场正在吸引更多的男性关注”，文中提到“沙特女子篮球场上没有男性关注，即使球员们身上裹得严严实实，还是有很多人认为女人打球不恰当”，C选项与原文不符，所以选B。

9.Whatdoesthewomanthinkoftheman'smother?

答案：D

点睛解析：在对话中，男士详细描述了自己的母亲，女士听完以后说，真是一位令人敬佩的女性，选项D中admirable是原文formidable的同义表述，意为“令人钦佩的”，所以选D。

10.Whatwillthemanwriteabouthisnextbook?

12.What'swrongwiththewoman?

答案：B

点睛解析：在对话开头部分，我们就可以听到，男士问女士，哪里不舒服，女士说她晚上睡不好，很晚才能入睡。所以选B。此题有一个干扰项，D“她晚上完全不能入睡”，对话中女士说的是她直到凌晨才能入睡，并不是完全不能入睡，theearlyhourofmorning意为“凌晨”。

13.Whydidn'tthewomantakesleepingpills?

答案：D

点睛解析：在对话中，男士问女士有没有尝试服用安眠药，女士回答说，她对安眠药过敏，所以没有服用。allergic意为“对……过敏的”。所以选D。

14.Accordingtothedoctor,whatshouldthewomando?

答案：C

点睛解析：选项A“她必须马上辞职”和选项B“她应该在白天少睡一点”均没有在对话中被提及，可排除；选项D“她没必要服用任何药物”与文意相反，在对话最后可知，男士最后给女士开了处方，prescription“处方，药方”，所以排除D；C“她应该经常到户外走走”与原文一致，所以选C。

15.Whatdowelearnaboutthewoman?

答案：B

点睛解析：在对话中，男士建议女士要多休息，多做户外活动，女士说她恐怕不能，因为她有很多工作要做，没有时间去户外。男士接着说，怪不得她难以入睡呢。正是因为她太忙了，所以身体发出了抗议。由此可知，大量的工作导致女士睡不好。故B为答案。

SectionC

16.Whatisabadeatinghabitaccordingtothepassage?

答案：C

点睛解析：此题可根据常识进行判断，选项A“喝大量的水”、选项B“不喝含糖饮料”和选项D“餐前吃水果”都是对身体有益的，所以不是坏的饮食习惯；而C“吃大量的红肉，尤其是加工过的肉”与原文意思一致，所以选C。

17.What'sthepointoftryingtomakesomehealthychangesnow,afterthedamagehaspresumablybeendone?

答案：D

18.Accordingtothepassage,whatshouldbedonetomaintainyourhealth?

答案：B

点睛解析：短文最后提到，“如果你想健康，尽早开始健康的生活方式是非常重要的”。选项B“尽早开始健康的生活方式”是原文复现，所以选B。选项A“吃素食”和选项D“多做运动”在文中并没有提及，而选项C“在老年的时候开始健康的饮食习惯”与文意不符。

19.Accordingtothepassage,whatisoneofthebiggestchallengesformostmanagers?

答案：B

点睛解析：在短文第一句我们可以听到Formostmanagers,findingtherightpersonforajobisoneofthebiggestchallengesinrecruiting.“对大多数管理者来说，为一个岗位找到合适的人选是招聘时的最大挑战之一。”所以该题答案是B“为职位找到合适的人选”。

20.Whatshouldthemanagersdowhenthenewhiresarrive?

答案：A

点睛解析：该题可采用排除法，B“不做任何安排”，显然与文意不符；C“让新员工独自去接待室”，与文意相反；D“给新员工安排大量工作”，在文中并没有提到；A“提前通知老员工”与原文一致，是正确答案。

21.Whatisthemostdifficultpartinmakingnewemployeesadaptquicklytoaworkingenvironment?

点睛解析：文中提到Althoughitsoundsverysimple,arrangingadesk,acomputer,aphoneandthecorrespondinge-mailinaveryshortperiodoftimemaybeverydifficult.“虽然听上去很简单，但在很短的时间内安排出一张办公桌、一台电脑、一部电话和相应的电子邮件可能非常困难。”由此可知，给新员工提供独立的空间比较困难，所以选C。

PassageThree

Whenspeciesleaveusforever,weusuallyblamethingslikeclimatechange,volcaniceruptionorplanetarycollision.ButasforthegiantflightlessbirdsthathadonceroamedtheAustralianoutback,thecauseoftheextinctionwasthattheybecamethematerialoffriedeggs.Anewstudyfindsthatabout47,000yearsago,humansacceleratedthedemiseofthisbirdbygatheringandcookingitseggs.ThestudyhasbeenpublishedinthejournalNatureCommunications.Awidevarietyofanimalswerenotuncommonbeforehumanssweptoverthelanddownunder.Thecontinentatthattimewasspreadwiththetwo-tonwombat,thethousand-poundkangaroo,andthe500-poundbirdknownasGenyornisnewtoni.Butwhenhumansarrived,thegiantanimalsdisappeared.Wasitcoincidence?Well,itcouldbe.Sotheresearcherscollectedevidenceandhopedtofindouttheinfluenceofancienthumanhuntingontheextinctionofthisbird.Theycollectedeggshellsfromhundredsofsites.Asaresult,theyfoundthattheeggshellfragmentswereburned,whichshowedthattheycouldhavebeencookedbyflame.Andtheseburnmarksaredifferentfromwildfires.Theresearchersusedthreedifferentmethodstocorrectlypositiontheageoftheseeggsandfoundconclusiveevidenceofthesituation—atthattime,humansusedfirepits.Thisshowsthatourancestorshuntedandkilledthebirdsfortheirownsurvivalandultimatelyledtotheextinctionofthespecies.

22.Whatdoweusuallyblameforthedisappearanceofspecies?

答案：C

点睛解析：在文章开头我们就可以听到Whenspeciesleaveusforever,weusuallyblamethingslikeclimatechange,volcaniceruptionorplanetarycollision.“当物种永远离开我们时，我们通常会将责任归咎于气候变化、火山喷发或行星碰撞等因素。”由此可知，C“气候变化”是正确答案。

23.Whydidthegiantflightlessbirdsbecomeextinct?

答案：A

点睛解析：此题答案比较明显，文中提到...thecauseoftheextinctionwasthattheybecamethematerialoffriedeggs.“……该物种灭绝的原因是它们成为煎蛋的材料。”所以选A“因为它们的蛋是人类的食物。”

24.Whatdowelearnaboutthenewstudy?

答案：D

点睛解析：此题可先采用排除法，排除A“很多人对这项新的研究感兴趣”，文中并没有提及；B“这项研究没有任何成果”和C“研究人员没有发现鸟蛋的化石”与原文不符，所以排除；D“这项研究被发表在杂志上”，文中提到，这项研究已经在《自然通讯》杂志上发表，所以选D。

25.Whatcanwelearnfromthepassage?

答案：C

点睛解析：该题可采用排除法，A“物种灭绝的原因是气候变化”文中并没有提到气候变化是物种灭绝的原因，只是提到那是我们通常认为的原因；B“这种大型的不会飞行的鸟类在人类出现以前就灭绝了”与文意不符，它们是在人类出现以后才消失的；D“47000年以前，地球上发生了一次大地震。”文中并没有提及。所以，C“人类应该为物种的灭绝负责”符合文意，选C。
