分析:
今年的完形填空比前两年稍微难一些。虽然题目不难理解,但抓住脉络的线索却很难。你需要对文章的内容有全面准确的把握才能做好。主要内容是,虽然烧烤等食物可能有害健康,但我们也不应对这些健康危言耸听者过于恐慌。这是一个比较生活的话题。下面我们就来看看答案和分析吧。
1.【答】C开
【分析】这里我们考察介词的意义分析。在寒冷的冬日意味着在寒冷的冬日。在介词on 之后添加特定日期; in后面加一段时间,如in Winter,in 2002; ward表示方向,与时间不符; til的意思是直到,比如直到明天,直到下周,与句子的意思不符。因此正确答案为on。
2.【答案】一场比赛
【分析】这里我们考察一下动词的意义分析。文章第一段的第一句话指出:尽管家庭不太可能经常坐在一起吃饭,但数百万英国人将在本周末参加该国最伟大的传统之一:周日烤肉。在寒冷的冬日,几乎没有什么美食可以__2__它。在寒冷的冬日,没有什么美食可以与之媲美。比赛比赛。表达表达。满足,满足;确信;遵守。影响。
3.【答案】B享受
【分析】这里考察上下文逻辑关系。如上所述,周日烤肉是一项快乐的活动。然而,语义上的扭曲:然而,正如现在报道的那样,食品卫生当局认为这3 可能会导致另一种罪恶感4 损害我们的健康。上面的享受和快乐以及下面的另一种快乐是相互关联的信息。耐心,耐心。惊喜惊喜。忧虑。
4.【答案】D保证
【分析】这里我们考察非谓语动词作为后置定语的用法。空白处的句子指出:这种快乐可能会导致另一种有罪的快乐4,从而损害我们的健康。保证保证,一定,填空的意思是:这种快乐会导致另一种罪恶感的快乐,这肯定会损害我们的健康。变本加厉,变本加厉;特权的,排他的,特权的;被迫,被迫。
5.【答】已发出
【分析】这里我们进行词义分析。食品标准局(FSA) 已__5__ 发布公共警告. 食品标准局发布公共警告. 发布、发布、发出;已收到,已收到;被忽视被忽视,被忽视;取消。发布公开警告发布公开警告与上下文相符。
6.【答案】B于
【分析】这里我们考察介词分析。某些食物在__6__ 高温下烹制。
7.【答案】D 避免
【分析】这里考察上下文逻辑关系。 7、空句开头的代词“这个”是指经高温烘烤的食品中含有对人体健康有害的化学物质。因此,提出以下建议:人们应该7炸土豆,不吃薄皮披萨……7空也与reject形成语义并列关系,所以avoid是正确的。忘记;后悔;结束。
8.【答案】A部分
【解析】这里我们考察词义分析+上下文。只有__8__ 烤面包。部分地,偶尔地;经常;容易地;最初。因此选项A正确。
9.【答案】D 同时
【分析】这里我们考察上下文逻辑关系+逻辑连接分析。 __9__ 研究表明丙烯酰胺可导致小鼠神经损伤,但没有__10__ 证据表明它会导致人类癌症。前后句是过渡/对比/让步的逻辑关系,所以选用while来表示虽然、虽然。除非,代表条件的逻辑关系;因为,它代表因果逻辑; If,表示条件的逻辑关系。
10.【答案】C 结论
【解析】这里我们考察词义分析+上下文。 9 研究表明丙烯酰胺可导致小鼠神经损伤,但10 没有证据表明它会导致人类癌症。决定性的;决定性的;令人信服的;确凿
中等中等;间接;外部的,外部的;浅;外部的;外国的;消极的,消极的。
11.【答案】C 可能
【分析】这里考察的是固定搭配。很可能是可能的。不够,不够;束缚,捆绑,有义务;慢的。
12.【答案】A 根据
【分析】这里考察短语分析+上下文逻辑。 __12__ 预防原则,可以说__13__ 应该遵循FSA 的建议。根据,基于,根据;以以下费用为代价:除了除了;与相反,相反。
13.【答案】B建议
【分析】这里我们考察一下形容词的词义分析。本着预防原则,可以说遵循FSA的建议13 。有趣的、明智的、明智的、可取的、紧急的、幸运的、幸运的。
14.【答案】D 毕竟
【分析】检查逻辑关系。原文章的前一句是“基于‘预防原则’,可以认为最好遵循FSA的建议。”这句话说“在没有证据证明吸烟与癌症之间存在联系之前,吸烟导致癌症的谣言已经流传了很多年。结合选项分析,照常,特别是,根据定义,毕竟毕竟,只是毕竟符合字面意思。
15.【答】C接法
【解析】本题考查动宾结合,结合上下文和句子成分。这里的名词放在“prove”之后,整体在不定式中作为主语补语,解释主语证据。这里的“证据”应该得到证明。 (吸烟和肺癌)有关系,所以选择连接。相似相似,组合组合,图案模式不一致。
16.【答】B 送达
【解析】本题考察主谓搭配。这里的被动语态与主语一块煮牛肉形成了实际的“动宾关系”。这句话的意思是“毫无疑问,周日总是可以享用一块煮牛肉”。还有一些蒸蔬菜__16__”。这里的served up就是“上菜,上菜”的意思,正是这个意思。制作、保存和使用的其他选项不一致。
17.【答案】A 公平地说
【分析】本题考察主谓匹配。前一句说:“但是生活值得过吗?”这句话说,“英国金融服务管理局表示,它不会告诉人们……不要吃烘焙食品。”可见下面这句话中不存在这样的事情。举个例子(例如)或总结(要简短)或表达经常发生的事情(一般),你应该选择“在提交关系中公平”。
18.【答案】全部B
【分析】这里我们考察副词的修饰关系。这句话的意思是“FSA 表示它并没有告诉人们不要吃烘焙食品__18__”。分析各个选项:勉强不情愿、完全完全、逐渐逐渐、小心翼翼,可以与前面的否定词not连用,表示部分否定。 only Complete 是合适的,not.completes 的意思是“不完全.”。
19.【答案】C活动
【解析】本题考察主谓搭配。根据原文上下文“然而,他们的(FSA)……有可能给人一种‘有说服力的’保姆的印象”,答题活动称“(开展)运动、活动”是最合适的地方这里。承诺、经验或竞争并不代表FSA 在本文中的行为。
20.【答案】D结束
【分析】考察动宾组合,这里句子的意思是“持续的健康威胁__20__但没有人在听”。这里我想过多强调健康恐慌的最终结果,只有“结束,以.结束”才是最合适的意思,所以我选择了end up,follow up,坚持完成,pick up,pick up 、偶然学习、开拓、发展,这些都不符合字面意思。

阅读下面四篇课文。选择A、B、C 或D 来回答每篇文章下面的问题。在答题卡上标记您的答案。 (40分)
文本1
21.库珀和她的同事认为“文化之城”奖会___。
A. 巩固英国城镇的联系
B.促进大脑小镇之间的合作
C. 增强大脑城镇的经济实力
D. 将大脑有限的资源集中在文化活动上。
22.根据第2 段,该提案可能被某些人视为______.
A.合理的妥协
B.自欺欺人的尝试
C.引人注目的奖金
D. 无法到达的目标
23. 作者认为,所有权持有者只有在以下情况下才是成功的:______
A. 努力维护自身形象
B. 满足人民的愿望
C. 突出当地艺术
D. 致力于长期发展
24. 第3 段中提到“格拉斯哥”是为了表示______
A. 对比案例
B、支持示例
C、背景故事
D、相关主题
25.作者对该提案的态度如何?
A. 持怀疑态度B. 客观C. 有利D. 批评
21 C 增加英国城镇的经济实力
这个问题是一个细节问题。问题主干询问库珀和她的同事如何看待“文化之城”奖可能定位在第一段的第三句中:“库珀和她的同事认为赫尔的皇冠的成功,” “赫尔之冠”不仅仅局限于这座城市,它为赫尔带来了2.2亿欧元的投资和大量的艺术品。事实上,英国的城镇并没有被禁止申请,但它们往往缺乏资源来凑齐一些资源来击败规模更大的竞争对手。有人建议,文化之城奖可以成为一项年度活动,以吸引资金并创造就业机会。所以可见,答案是C。增强英国城镇的经济实力。
22 B 一种自欺欺人的尝试
这道题是一道推理题,题干题:根据第二段,这个提案可能会被一些人认为.因……”“有些人可能会认为这项提议是嘘声,因为英国无法再申请更享有盛誉的欧洲文化之都称号……”可见,有些人已经消极的态度。许多人不认识Boo,但事实上,随着英国为脱欧后的世界拼命重塑自己,它正处于无休止的自我庆祝热潮中,绝望地重塑自己,即将消失。即将消失在无尽的自我庆祝浪潮中。接下来的几个反问句可以看作是一种自欺欺人的尝试,故选B。
23D致力于长期发展
这个问题也是一个细节问题。问题:的作者认为,这个标题的持有者只要.可以定位在第三段第三句中,就是成功的。这些头衔的真正成功持有者不仅是为酒店服务的人,他们所做的不仅仅是带来一场引人注目的艺术活动和一年的良好报道。他们改变了当地居民的愿望;他们将城市的自我形象推向更大胆、更乐观的一面。由此可见,只要他致力于乡村的长远发展,这个称号就一定会成功。
24 A. 对比案例
这个问题是关于写作的目的。问题主干说:第三段中提到格拉斯哥的目的是什么?你可以找到第三段的倒数第二句。可以看到前面有一个明显的BUT,和之前的意思相反。 “这个问题很难解决,需要城市当局、私营部门、社区团体和文化组织之间的高度远见和合作。但这可以在格拉斯哥作为欧洲文化之都: 年实现,可以被视为使这座城市成为当今艺术、音乐和戏剧强国的一系列复杂因素之一。”
25D最爱
这个问题是关于作者的态度问题,询问作者对这个建议的态度。第一段提出建议。第二段是有人觉得这个建议有点自吹自擂。只有最后一段表明了作者对这一建议的态度,“‘文化之城’不仅仅是一座艺术之城,而且尊重一座城市的性格,帮助维护它的商业街,支持当地的设施,最重要的是赞扬其人民并将其转化为行动。”由此可见,这是一种积极的态度。

长期以来,科学出版一直是印钞的许可证。科学家需要发表论文的期刊
他们的研究,因此他们将在没有金钱奖励的情况下提供文章。其他科学家也免费从事同行评审的专门工作,因为它是获得地位和生产科学知识的核心要素。
由于论文内容是免费的,出版商只需为其期刊找到市场即可。直到本世纪,大学图书馆对价格还不太敏感。科学出版商经常报告其运营利润率接近40%,而此时其他出版业却陷入生存危机。
荷兰巨头爱思唯尔(Elsevier) 声称发表了25% 的科学论文
the world,made profits of more than £900m last year, while UK universities alone spent more than £210m in 2016 toenable researchers to access their own publicly funded research; both figures seem to rise unstoppably despite increasingly desperate efforts to change them.
The most drastic, and thoroughly illegal, reaction has been the emergence of Sci-Hub, a kind of global photocopier for scientific papers, set up in 2012, which now claims to offer access to every paywalled article published since 2015. The success of Sci-Hub, which relies on researchers passing on copies they have themselves legally accessed, shows the legal ecosystem has lost legitimacy among its users and must be transformed so that it works for all participants.
In Britain the move towards open access publishing has been driven by funding bodies. In some ways it has been very successful. More than half of all British scientific research is now published under open access terms: either freely available from the moment of publication, or paywalled for a year or more so that the publishers can make a profit before being placed on general release.
Yet the new system has not worked out any cheaper for the universities. Publishers have responded to the demand that they make their product free to readers by charging their writers fees to cover the costs of preparing an article. These range from around £500 to $5,000. A report last year pointed out that the costs both of subscriptions and of these’’article preparation costs’’ had been steadily rising at a rate above inflation. In some ways the scientific publishing model resembles the economy of the social internet: labour is provided free in exchange for the hope of status, while huge profits are made by a few big firms who run the market places. In both cases, we need a rebalancing of power.
26. Scientific publishing is seen as“a licence to print money\” partly because________
[A] its funding has enjoyed a steady increase .
[B] its marketing strategy has been successful.
[C] its payment for peer review is reduced.
[D] its content acquisition costs nothing.
27. According to Paragraphs 2 and 3, scientific publishers Elsevier have________
[A] thrived mainly on university libraries.
[B] gone through an existential crisis.
[C] revived the publishing industry.
[D] financed researchers generously.
28. How does the author feel about the success of Sci-Hub?
[A] Relieved.
[B] Puzzled.
[C] Concerned
[D] Encouraged.
29. It can be learned from Paragraphs 5 and 6 that open access terms________
[A]allow publishers some room to make money.
[B] render publishing much easier for scientists.
[C] reduce the cost of publication substantially.
[D] free universities from financial burdens.
30. Which of the following characterises the scientific publishing model?
[A] Trial subscription is offered.
[B] Labour triumphs over status.
[C] Costs are well controlled.
D] The few feed on the many.
26, 细节题 D its content acquisition cost nothing
根据题干中关键词a licence to print money because ,定位到第一段第二句,其他科学家也免费进行同行评议的专门工作,因为它是获得地位和生产科学知识的核心要素。正确选项D,acquisition原词, for free替换选项中的,cost nothing.
27, 细节题 A thrived mainly on universities libraries
根据题干关键词Elsevier定位到第三段第一句话,The Dutch giant Elsevier, ….made profits of more than 490m last year. while UK universities alone spent more than 210m in 2016,该公司去年利润超过4.9亿英镑 然而仅英国大学在2016年就花费了超过2.1亿英镑。正确选项A 主要依靠大学图书馆 为定位句的同意表达
28态度题 B concerned
根据题干中关键词Sci-Hub的成功定位到第四段第二句, The success of Sci- Hub, …. have themselves legally accessed shows the legal ecosystem has lost legitimacy among its users and must be transformed so that it works for all participants这表明法律生态系统在其用户中已经失去了合法性,必须进行改造,以便为所有参与者服务. 可见作者对于Sci- Hub的成功采取否定态度,正确选项B concerned担忧,担心。A relieved宽慰的,C puzzled困惑的属错误选项, D encouraged鼓励的,正反混淆
29推断题 A allow publishers some room to make money
根据题干关键词open access定位到第四段,最后一句 …so that the publishers can make a profit before…,合理收取费用是未来出版商能够获利,A选项为同义替换。B render publishing much easier for scientists使发表对科学家来说容易得多 .C reduce the cost of publication substantiality 降低出版成本 D. free universities from financial burdens使大学摆脱财政负担
30 细节题 D the few feed on the many
根据题干关键词scientific publishing model定位到最后一段第五句,labour is provided places free in exchange for the hope of status, while huge profits are made by a few big firms who run the market places.劳动力被免费提供,以换取地位的希望,而一些经营市场的大公司则获得了巨额利润。 可知少部分作者免费劳动,大部分公司盈利,A选项为同义替换

Progressives often support diversity mandates as a path to equality and a way to level the playing field. But all too often such policies are an insincere form of virtue-signaling that benefits only the most privileged and does little to help average people.
A pair of bills sponsored by Massachusetts state Senator Jason Lewis and House Speaker Pro Tempore Patricia Haddad, to ensure \”gender parity\” on boards and commissions, provide a case in point.
Haddad and Lewis are concerned that more than half the state-government boards are less than 40 percent female. In order to ensure that elite women have more such opportunities, they have proposed imposing government quotas. If the bills become law, state boards and commissions will be required to set aside 50 percent of board seats for women by 2022.
The bills are similar to a measure recently adopted in Califomia, which last year became the first state to require gender quotas for private companies. In signing the measure, California Governor Jerry Brown admitted that the law, which expressly classifies people on the basis of sex, is probably unconstitutional.
The US Supreme Court frowns on sex-based classifications unless they are designed to address an \”important\” policy interest, Because the California law applies to all boards, even where there is no history of prior discrimination, courts are likely to rule that the law violates the constitutional guarantee of \”equal protection\”.
But are such government mandates even necessary? Female participation on corporate boards may not currently mirror the pereentage of women in the general population, but so what?
The number of women on corporate boards has been steadily increasing without government interference. According to a study by Catalyst, between 2010 and 2015 the share of women on the boards of global corporations increased by 54 percent.
Requiring companies to make gender the primary qualification for board membership will inevitably lead to less experienced private sector boards. That is exactly what happened when Norway adopted a nationwide corporate gender quota.
Wrting in The New Republic, Alice Lee notes that increasing the number of opportunities for board membership without increasing the pool of qualified women to serve on such boards has led to a\”golden skirt \”phenomenon, where the same clite women scoop up multiple seats on a variety of boards.
Next time somebody pushes corporate quotas as a way to promote gender equity, remember that such policies are largely self-serving measures that make their sponsors feel good but do litle to help average women.
31. The author believes that the bills sponsored by Lewis and Haddad wills________
[A] help little to reduce gender bias.
[B] pose a threat to the state government.
[C] raise women\’s position in politics.
[D] greatly broaden career options.
32. Which of the following is true of the California measure?
[A] It has irritated private business owners.
[B] It is welcomed by the Supreme Court,
[C] It may go against the Constitution.
[D] It will settle the prior controversies.
33. The author mentions the study by Catalyst to ilustrate____
[A] the harm from arbitrary board decision.
[B] the importance of constitutional guaranees.
[C] the pressure on women in global corporations.
[D] the needlessness of government interventions.
34. Norway\’s adoption of a nationwide corporate gender quota has led to____
[A] the underestimation of elite women\’s role.
[B] the objection to female participation on boards.
[C] the entry of unqualified candidates into the board.
[D] the growing tension between labor and management.
35. Which of the following can be inferred from the text?
[A] Women\’s need in employment should be considered.
[B] Feasibility should be a prime concern in policymaking.
[C] Everyone should try hard to promote social justice.
[D] Major social issues should be the focus of legislation.
31 态度题 A help little to reduce gender bias
纵观全文,文章一直在论述该法案,在最后一段作者提出了自己的想法,下次有人把企业配额作为促进性别平等的一种方式。请记住,这些基本上都是自私自利的措施,让他们的赞助商感觉良好,但其实并没有什么帮助,由此可见作者对此法案采取否定态度,A help little to reduce gender bias对减少性别偏见没什么帮助为同义替换的正确选项
32 细节题 C it may go against the constitution
根据题干中的关键词 California measures定位到原文第五段第二句,Because the California law applies to all boards, … courts are likely to rule that the law violate the constitutional guarantee of \”equal protection\” violate 违反宪法,选项C against替换violate为正确选项
33. 例证题 D the needlessness of government interventions
根据题干中catalyst替换到第7段,论点为上一句The number of women on corporate boards has been steadily increasing without government . 在没有政府的情况下,公司董事会中的妇女人数一直在稳步增加。可见D选项中the needlessness of government interventions政府干预的不必要性
34 细节题 C the entry of unqualified candidates into the board
根据Norway定位到倒数第三段第一句,要求将性别作为董事会成员的主要资格,必然会导致私营部门董事会减少。紧接着下文董事会成员的机会越来越多,却没有合格的女性来担任董事会成员, 由此可见会有不合格的人进入董事会,正确选项C 不合格候选人进入董事会
35 推断 B Feasibility should be a prime concern in policymaking 由最后一段可知,下次有人把企业配额作为促进性别平等的一种方式。请记住,这些基本上都是自私自利的措施,让他们的赞助商感觉良好,但其实并没有什么帮助。由此可知该政策并不可取,正确选项B可行性应是决策的首要考虑因素
Text 4
Last Thursday, the French Senate passed a digital services tax, which would impose an entirely new tax
on large multinationals that provide digital services to consumers or users in France. Digital services include everything from providing a platform for selling goods and services online to targeting advertising based on user data, and the tax applies to gross revenue from such servces. Many French politicians and media outlets have referred to this as a“GAFA tax,\” meaning that it is designed to apply primarily to companies such as Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon- in other words, multiational tech companies based in the United States.
The digital services tax now awaits the signature of President Emmanuel Macron, who has expressed support for the measure, and it could go into effect within the next few weeks. But it has already sparked significant controversy, with the Unite Sates trade representative opening an investigation into whether the tax discriminates against American companies, which in turn could lead to trade sanctions against France.
The French tax is not just a unilateral move by one country in need of revenue. Instead, the digital services tax is part of a much larger trend, with countries over the past few years proposing or putting in place an alphabet soup of new international tax provisions. These have included Britain\’s DPT (diverted profits tax), Australia\’s MAAL (multinational antiavoidance law), and India\’s SEP (significant economic presence) test, to name but a few. At the same time, the European Union, Spain, Britain and several other countries have all seriously contemplated digital services taxes.
These unilateral developments differ in their specifics, but they are all designed to tax multinationals on income and revenue that countries believe they should have a right to tax, even if international tax rules do not grant them that right. In other words, they all share a view that the international tax system has failed to keep ;up with the current economy.
In response to these many unilateral measures, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is currently working with 131 countries to reach a consensus by the end of 2020 on an international solution. Both France and the United States are involved in the organization\’ s work, but France\’s digital services tax and the American response raise questions about what the future holds for the international tax system.
France‘s planned tax is a clear warning: Unless a broad consensus can be reached on reforming the international tax system, other nations are likely to follow suit, and American companies will face a cascade of different taxes from dozens of nations that will prove burdensome and costly.
36. The French Senate has passed a bill to_____
[A] regulate digital services platforms.
[B] protect French companies\’ interests .
[C] impose a levy on tech multinationals.
[D] curb the influence of advertising.
37. It can be learned from Paragraph 2 that the digital services tax _____
[A] may trigger countermeasures against France.
[B] is apt to arouse criticism at home and abroad.
[C] aims to ease international trade tensions.
[D] will prompt the tech giants to quit France.
38. The countries adopting the unilateral measures share the opinion that _____
[A] redistribution of tech giants\’ revenue must be ensured.
[B] the current international tax system needs upgrading.
[C] tech multinationals\’ monopoly should be prevented.
[D] all countries ought to enjoy equal taxing rights.
39. It can be learned from Para 5 that the OECO\’s current work_____
[A] is being resisted by US companies.
[B] needs to be readjusted immediately.
[C] is faced with uncertain prospects.
[D] needs to in involve more countries.
40. Which of the following might be the. best title for this text?
[A] France Is Confronted with Trade Sanctions
[B] France leads the charge on Digital Tax
[C] France Says \”NO\” to Tech Multinationals
[D] France Demands a Role in the Digital Economy
36. 【C】 impose a levy on tech multinationals 细节题。根据题干直接定位到第一段第一句话 a digital services tax, which would impose an entirely new tax on large multinationals that provide digital services…;选项C中的“levy”和“tax”同义复现;“tech multinationals” 和digital services 同义复现。因此C为正确答案,奇遇选项均未体现。
37.【A】may trigger countermeasures against France 推断题。根据提干定位到第二段,第二段第二句话but it has already sparked significant controversy,…,which in turn could lead to trade sanctions against France(这已经引起了巨大的反抗,…, 反过来也会导致针对法国的贸易制裁)和选项A相一致;其中选项中的“trigger”和原文的“lead to”同义复现,“sanction”和“countermeasure”同义复现。其余选项均未体现。
38.【B】the current international tax system needs upgrading 细节题。根据题干定位到第四段最后一句话 “they all share a view that the international tax system has failed to keep up with the current economy(他们都认为国际税收体系并未跟上当前经济形势)。选项B目前的国际税收体系需要升级是该句话的反义复现。其余选项均为体现。
39.【C】is faced with uncertain prospects 细节题。根据提干定位到第五段最后一句话”raise questions about what the future holds for the international tax system(对于国际税收体系的未来充满疑虑)”和选项C相一致。其中选项中的“uncertain”和原文中的“raise questions”同义复现,“prospects”和原文中的 “future”同义复现。
40【B】France leads the charge on digital tax 主旨题。题干中的title为标题题的信息,所以此题考查的是文章的主旨大意。B 选项里的 tax是贯穿全文的主旨词;而文章以法国对数字服务征税为起点,全文描写了包括法国在内的其它国家对全球税收系统的担忧,因此选项B和文章的主旨相符合。剩余选项均选项未能体现文章关键词和全文主旨。

In the following text, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 41 -45, choose the most suitable one from the fist A-G to fit into each of the numbered blanks. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the gaps. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)
[A] Eye fixactions are brief
[B] Too much eye contact is instinetively felt to be rude
[C] Eye contact can be a friendly social signal
[D] Personality can affect how a person reacts to eye contact
[E] Biological factors behind eye contact are being investigated
[F] Most people are not comfortable holding eye contact with strangers
[G] Eye contact can also be aggressive.
In a social situation, eye contact with another person can show that you are paying attention in a friendly way. But it can also be antagonistic such as when a political candidate tums toward their competitor during a debate and makes eye contact that signals hostility. Here \’s what hard science reveals about eye contact:
41. ________________
We know that a typical infant will instinctively gaze into its mother\’s eyes, and she will look back . This mutual gaze is a major part of the attachment between mother and child. In adulthood, looking someone else in a pleasant way can be a complimentary sign of paying attention. It can catch someone\’s attention in a crowded room, \”Eye contact and smile\” can signal availability and confidence,a common-sense notion supported in studies by psychologist Monica Moore.
42.________
Neuroscientist Bonnie Augeung found that the hormone oxytocin increased the amount of eye contact from men toward the interviewer during a brief interview when the direction of their gaze was recorded. This was also found in high- functioning men with some autistic spectrum symptoms, who may tend to avoid eye contact. Specific brain regions that respond during direct gaze are being explored by other researches, using advanced methods of brain scanning.
43.________
With the use of eye-tracking technology, Julia Minson of the Harvard Kennedy School of Government concluded that eye contact can signal very different kinds of messages, depending on the situation While eye contact may be a sign of connection or trust in friendly situations, it\’s more likely to be associated with dominance OF intimidation in adversarial situations. Whether you\’re a politician or a parent, it might be helpful to keep \’in mind that trying to maintain eye contact may backfire if you\’re trying to convince someone who has a different set of beliefs than you,\” said Minson.
44.________
When we look at a face or a picture, our eyes pause on one spot at a time, often on the eyes or mouth. These pauses typically occur at about three per second, and the eyes then jump to another spot, until several important points in the image are registered like a series of snapshots. How the whole image is then assembled and perceived is still a mystery although it is the subject of current research.
45.________
In people who score high in a test of neuroticism, a personality dimension associated with self-consciousness and anxiety, eye contact triggered more activity associated with avoidance, according to the Finnish researcher Jari Hietanen and colleagues. Our findings indicate that people do not only feel different when they are the centre of attention but that their brain reactions also differ-\” A more direct finding is that people who scored high for negative emotions like anxiety looked at others for shorter periods of time and reported more comfortable feelings when others did not look directly at them.
41.答案:C. Eye contact can be a friendly social signal
解析:本段第三句说了,“can be a complimentary significant of paying attention”,此外本段最后一句也说:眼神接触和微笑能signal availability and confidence发送可用性和自信的信号。都说明眼神接触是个友善的社交信号。 因此选C。
42.答案:E
解析:本段第一句就出现了hormone 荷尔蒙,此外,本段中出现的oxytocin催产素,hign-functioning高官能,autistic spectrum symptoms自闭症谱系症状等词都说明是在聊生物因素。最后一句中还有explore探索,brain scanning 脑部扫描。所以选E
43. 答案:G
解析:本段第一句就说了eye contact can signal very different kinds of messages,depending on the situation眼神接触根据不同情况会发出不同的讯息。下一句主干说在不利环境中,会与dominance支配or intimidation恫吓有关联。因此G为正确答案。
44.答案:A
解析 :本段第一句就提到了time,第二句清楚地说到了These pauses typically occur at about three per second,通常每秒三次,充分说明很快,所以选A。
45. 答案:D
解析:第一句话中就有personality。在引用中转折之后,but their brain reactions also differ人们脑部反应不同,最后一句话更加明确说到高负能量的人更觉得被人直视令人不舒服。因此选D。
Part C Translation
Directions:
Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written neatly on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)
Following the explosion of creativity in Florence during the 14th century known as the Renaissance, the modern world saw a departure from what it had once known. It turned from God and the authority of the Roman Catholic Church and instead favoured a more humanistic approach to being. Renaissance ideas had spread throughout Europe well into the 17th century, with the arts and sciences flourishing extraordinarily among those with a more logical disposition. 46.With (the gap between) the church\’s teachings and ways of thinking being eclipsed by the Renaissance, the gap between the medieval and modern periods had been bridged, leading to new and unexplored intellectual territories.
During the Renaissance, the great minds of Nicolaus Copernicus, Johannes Kepler and Galileo Galilei demonstrated the power of scientific study and discovery. 47. Before each of their revelations, many thinkers at the time had sustained more ancient ways of thinking, including the geocentric view that the Earth was at the centre of our universe. Copernicus theorized in 1543 that in actual fact, all of the planets that we knew of revolved not around the Earth, but the Sun, a system that was later upheld by Galileo at his own expense. Offering up such a theory during a time of high tension between scientific and religious minds was branded as heresy,and any such heretics that continued to spread these lies were to be punished by imprisonment or even death. Galileo was excommunicated by the Church and imprisoned for life for his astronomical observations and his support of the heliocentric principle.
48. Despite attempts by the Church to strong-arm this new generation of logicians and rationalists, more explanations for how the universe functioned were being made,and at a rate that the people-including the Church -could no longer ignore. It was with these great revelations that a new kind of philosophy founded in reason was born.
The Church\’s long-standing dogma was losing the great battle for truth to rationalists and scientists. This very fact embodied the new ways of thinking that swept through Europe during most of the 17th century. 49. As many took on the duty of trying to integrate reasoning and scientific philosophies into the world. The Renaissance was over and it was time for a new era-the Age of Reason.
The 17th and 18th centuries were times of radical change and curiosity. Scientific method,reductionism and the questioning of Church ideals was to be encouraged, as were ideas of liberty, tolerance and progress. 50. Such actions to seek knowledge and to understand what information we already knew were captured by the Latin phrase\’sapere aude\’or \’dare to know\’, after Immanuel Kant used it in his essay An Answer to the Question: What is Enlightenment? It was the purpose and responsibility of great minds to go forth and seek out the truth, which they believed to be founded in knowledge.
46.With (the gap between) the church\’s teachings and ways of thinking being eclipsed by the Renaissance, the gap between the medieval and modern periods had been bridged, leading to new and unexplored intellectual territories.
由于文艺复兴时期教会的教义和思维方式之间的差距被消除,中世纪和现代时期之间的差距得以弥合,导致了新的和未开发的知识领域。
47. Before each of their revelations, many thinkers at the time had sustained more ancient ways of thinking, including the geocentric view that the Earth was at the centre of our universe.
每个启示出现之前,当时的许多思想家都采用更为古老的思维方式,包括地心说的观点,该观点认为地球是我们宇宙的中心。
48. Despite attempts by the Church to sop suppress this new generation of logicians and rationalists,more explorations for how the universe functioned were being made at a rate that people could no longer ignore.
尽管教堂做出许多尝试去压制新一代的逻辑学家和理性主义者,但是更多对于宇宙是如何运作的探索正在以人们难以忽视的速度进行着。
49. As many took on the duty of trying to integrate reasoning and scientific philosophies into the world, the Renaissance was over and it was time for a new era.
正当很多人致力于尝试把推理和科学哲理融入到世界时,文艺复兴结束了,而此时一个新的时代到来了。
50. Such actions to seek knowledge and to understand what information we already knew were captured by the Latin phrase\’s ‘Sapere aude’ or ’dare to know’.
这些探索知识并且理解已知信息的行为可以用拉丁文“Sapere aude”或英文“dare to know”描述。

解析:
2020年考研英语已经结束啦,相信同学们在考场上看到考题会信心满满。因为从内容上来讲,今年的英语一大作文依然延续2019年的出题思路,考查了品质类话题的图画作文,而不同的地方在于2019年是一幅图,但今年却是两幅图相反。从难度上来说,今年和去年持平,对于“习惯”的英语表达,相信大家都不陌生是“habit”。
写作时,按照一般顺序。第一段图画描述段,左图是位女孩正在非常努力地做着学校作业,心里想着是“尽早完成才放心”,右图是位男孩躺在沙发上也不看书,书桌上只有一本摊开的书和一支笔,心里却想着“不到最后不动手”,这两幅所反映的内容正好相反,它所反映的寓意依然是合理自洽即可,小编认为两者的不同在于习惯,女孩有很好的规划能力并有效利用时间完成任务,而男孩则恰恰相反,空耗时间只待最后“速成”,结果自然不会理想,因而我们需要养成合理规划时间的好习惯;第二段是寓意阐释段,按照品质类的框架结构,即关键句和具体作用, 可以说scheduling有助于我们充分利用时间以达到学业乃至事业上的成功,还可以讲acquire the habit of time management有助于我们克服拖延,做时间的主人;第三段是个人评论段,框架结构是关键句+具体建议+结尾句,可以说我们需要加强人们对此种品质的意识,希望人人都可以拥有这种美好的品质。
另外,注意大作文的评分侧重点。考研大纲指出:B节作文的评分侧重点在于信息点的完整、内容组织的连贯、语言的准确性、语言的多样性。字迹工整,少涂抹痕迹也很关键哦。

1) From the first simple but compelling cartoon we can see that a young girl is making great efforts on her schoolwork with earnest expressions, which successfully captures our eyes. On the contrary, what is differently delineated in the second photo is that a lazy boy is not reading but lying on the sofa with an unfold book and a pen on the book desk. Apparently, by the contrast of these two pictures, the explicit implication emerges in front of us that the power of good habits should be attached great importance to.
2) Various functions, as a matter of fact, are behind this quality illustrated in this picture out as far as I know the following two matter enormously. To begin with, scheduling is the art of planning your activities so that you can achieve your goals and priorities in the time that you have available. When it\’s done effectively, it helps you understand what you can realistically achieve with your time and work steadily toward your personal and career goals; In addition, here is the other point that no one can ignore. It is universally admitted that it takes time to change a habit, and procrastination is a habit that requires a little bit of effort to overcome. Task aversion, distractibility and impulsiveness are common types of procrastination. Moreover, they are the easiest to overcome if we acquire the habit of time management.
3) Based on the afore-said discussion, it is advisable for us to take steps to carry forward the quality. All in all, it is high time to strengthen people’s awareness in this aspect. Only in this way can we make the best of time managment and embrace a bright future.
