How to Live a Meaningful Life
People always say that the greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it. On the one hand, life is spent on something for the future, or for our offspring. For example, people work to build the Three Gorges Dam to make electricity. On the other hand, doing some little but meaningful things can also show the greatest use of life, such as offering a seat to a woman with a child.
I will do the following things to make my life meaningful. First, I will plant trees every year to contribute my effort to make the sky blue and the water clean. Second, I will learn my major biology well to cure some diseases, such as cancers. Third, as the saying goes, to do your own job is to contribute your effort to the society.
Only by spending our life for something that will outlast it can we contribute to our society. For one thing, we should learn from Lei Feng who did little but meaningful things. For another, we can do whatever we can to protect the environment. In a word, we can make our life meaningful by doing meaningful things.

M: I wonder if you could say then in a few words what the advantages are for a girl in the single sex school.
W: Well, I think within the classroom, she is going to have full opportunity to express her own opinions. She isn’t going to be shouted down by overconfident young gentlemen.
M: Are teenagers in particular do you think shouted too much from the contact with the opposite sex? Does this cause difficulties when they find themselves in mixed groups?

Section B
Passage One
16-19听力原文
Larry arrived early for his speaking engagement. He positioned the table so that he could move close to the audience at strategic points in a speech. [16] He had read that speakers can be more persuasive if they invade the personal space of listeners, encouraging an emotional response. For the same reason, he placed the chairs close to each other, and raised the temperature to a slightly uncomfortable level. [17] The purpose of the speech was to encourage the audience of corporate executives and local business owners to support local sports groups. To enhance his credibility with the audience, Larry had brought some slides of his family attending sports events. One photo showed him at an award ceremony where he had been honored for his financial contribution to a local baseball team. Realizing that this particular audience would find his regional accent unattractive, Larry planned to speak with an accent that would be more acceptable to his audience. [18】 After reading a book on how to dress for success, he had purchased an expensive dark naw suit and golden tie. He chose colors and styles known to communicate power and influence. [19] Just before people began entering the hall. Larry dimmed the lights and turned up the sound system, which was playing soft music, hoping to create a warm personal atmosphere for the speech. He hoped that these added effects would encourage his audience to support local sports teams.

Passage Two
20-22听力原文
[20】Phyllis Wheatley was a young African- American slave, who belonged to landowner John Wheatley in Colonial America, She was also a poet and the first African, American ever to publish a book. Her poems on various subjects, religious and moral, were printed in Boston in 1773, three years before the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Early slaves were generally denied education, but Wheatley was allowed by her owner to study poetry, Latin and the Bible. And by the time she reached her late teens, she had written enough poetry to put together a slender book of verse. Even so, publication was difficult. [21] The publisher, fearful of being cheated, forced her to submit to a scholarly examination by a board of educated men, including the colonial governor. The board of judges questioned Wheatley extensively and ruled that she was educated enough to have written the book. Only then was publication permitted. Wheatley may have been the first but she was not the only slave to write a book during the growing days of the Republic. Unfortunately, most of the early popular African-American writers have been all but forgotten in modem times until now. [22] A Cornell professor Henry Louis Gates recently studied a research project looking into 19th-century African-American fiction and poetry. In the process, he uncovered numerous lost works, almost half of which were written bv African-American women. In varied literary styles, the newly resurfaced manuscripts offered a rich stock of African-American culture, recreating among other things the early days of slavery and the importance of religion to the slaves.
Questions 20 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.

22、【预测】选项均为名词短语，由其中的religious scripts，literary works和manuscripts可推测，本题可能与文学作品有关。
答案详解：
20、A)。短文开头提到 ，Phyllis Wheatley was a young African-American slave,然后又说She was also a poet and the first Afiican-American ever to publish a book，由此可知，她是第一个出书的非裔美国奴隶，故答案为A)。
21、B)。短文中提到publication was difficult，接下来说the publisher... forced her to submit to a scholarly examination by a board of educated men, 由此可知，为了出书，惠特利被迫参加a scholarly examination，故答案为B)。
22、D)。短文中提到亨利•路易斯•盖茨教授最近深入研究了19世纪的非裔美国小说和诗歌。 在这个过程中，他发现了大量遗失的作品，其中有近一半是非裔美国女性所写。故正确答案为 D)。
Passage Three
23-25听力原文
[23]In today’s personality stakes, nothing is more highly valued than a sense of homour. We seek it out in others and are proud to claim it in ourselves, perhaps even more than good looks or intelligence. [23] If someone has a great sense of humour, we reason, it means that they are happy, socially confident and have a healthy perspective on life.
[24]This attitude would have surprised the ancient Greeks, who believed humour to be essentially aggressive. “And in fact, our admiration for the comically gifted is relatively new, and not very well-founded,” [25】says Rod Martin, a psychologist at the University of Western Ontario. Being funny isn’t necessarily an indicator of good social skills and well-being, his research has shown it may just as likely be a sign of personality flaws.
[25]He has found that humour is a double edged sword. It can forge better relationships and help you cope with life, or it can be corrosive, eating away at self-esteem and irritating others. “It’s a form of communication, like speech, and we all use it differently, says Martin. We use bonding humour to enhance our social connections ——but we also may imply it as a way of excluding or rejecting an outsider.
Though humour is essentially social, how you use it says a lot about your sense of self. Those who use self-defeating humour, making fun of themselves for the enjoyment of others, tend to maintain that hostility toward themselves even when they are alone. Similarly, those who are able to view the world with amused tolerance are often equally forgiving of their own shortcomings.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
23. How do people today view humour according to the speaker?
24. What did ancient Greeks think of humour?
25. What has psychologist Rod Martin found about humour?
23、【预测】由选项中出现的a trait of generous character, sign of happiness and confidence 以及24 题选项中出现的 essence of comedy可知，it极可能指幽默。
24、【预测】选项中的it，the essence of comedy, something admirable, self-defeating和aggressive表明， it可能指某种性格，本题考查它的特点。
25、【预测】选项中的it, a feature of a given culture, a double-edged sword, a result of both nature and nurture 和gift of human beings表明，it可能指某种性格，本题考查它的作用。
答案详解：
23、C)。短文开头提到in today’s personality stakes (在今天的性格评价中）和If... they are happy, socially confident and have a healthy perspective on life (如果……他们是幸福的、善于交际的，并且有健康的生活观。）可知，幽默是幸福和自信的表现， 故选C)。
24、D)。由短文中提到的…ancient Greeks, who believed humour to be essentially aggressive可知，古希腊人认为幽默本质上是有侵略性的，故答案为D)。
25、B)。由短文中提到的He has found that humour is a double-edged sword可知，心理学家罗德•马丁认为幽默是一把双刃剑，故答案为B)。

PartⅢ Reading Comprehension
Section A
答案详解：
36、F)。空格前的have good提示所填词应该是复数名词或不可数名词，A) asset，F) intentions，G) object，L) stems入选。上一句给出教育专家对英语为第二语言的孩子的家人的建议，虽然本句指出这些建议有误导性，但不可否认教育专家提这些建议的初衷是好的，也就是说他们的本意是要帮助学习者，所以选F) intentions (目的，意图）。A) asset (有价值的人或物；资产），不符合文意；G) object虽然也有 “目的”之意，但若用夺此处，应该为复数形式；L)stems作名词讲时意为“茎，干”，不符合文意。
37、L)。空格所在部分and it 37 from..是their advice to families is misguided的并列句，空前主语 it以及and前并列分句的时态提示所填词为单数第三人称形式的动词，C) deviates与L) stems入选。空格前的it指代的是their advice，即教育专家的建议，本句解释此建议是因对语言习得过程的误解而得的，也就是此建议源于对语言匀得过程“误解，所以选L) stems, stems from指‘源于，来自”。排除C) deviates，deviate from (脱离，背离，违背)，违背对语言习得过程的误解，与文意相反。
38、I)。本句句子结构完整，对以空格处应该填入副词，I) permanently，K) simultaneously，M) successively入选。本句仍在解释教育专家们要求孩子的家人不说母语、只说英语的原因：他们担心孩子们同时听英语与母语会被搞糊涂，所填词修饰confUsed的程度，符合的选项只有I) permanently (永久地，长期地），become permanently confused (长期地困惑）。排除K) simultaneously (同时地）M) successively (相继地，接连着地）。
39、B)。仅根据空格前的will be,空格处可能是动词的现在分词表达将来进行时，或动词的过去分词表达将来时被动语态 ，也可能是形容词作表语。从语法上讲，入选的选项有B) delayed (耽搁 ，延误），D) equivalent（相等的），E) identified (识别，辨认），H) overwhelming (难以禁受的； 压倒性的），J) prevalent (流行的，普遍的），N) underlying (潜表的），O) visualizing (使形象化，设想）。接着上一题的分析，孩子们长期困惑导致的结果可能是他们的语言发展（their language development)受阻，即被延误，命以答案为B) delayed (耽搁，延误）。
40、K)。所填词位于whether…or…结构中，与sequentially (依次地）平行并列且语义相反，显然是副词，又剩余的副词选项K) simultaneously 与M) successively中选定答案为K) simultaneously (同时地）。本句表述学习多种语言的两个不同的过程，一种是依次学习，即学完一种再学一种，另一种是同时学习多种。M) successively (相继地，接连着地）与sequentially意思想近，所以排除。
41、A)。空格前an提示所填词为以元音音素打头的单数形式名词，A) asset，D) equivalent，G) object入选。结合上一句所述的实际情况，美国之外其他国家的多数孩子都被期望通两种语言甚至多种语言，本句表达学习不止一种语言的重要性，能表达出这一重要性的只有A) asset (资产），意思是掌握不止一种语言被视为是一种资产而且是很多地区要求必须做到的。D) equivalent作名词时意为（等价物），G)object (目标），这两项均与文意不符，所以答案是A)。
42、E)。空格所在部分为since引导的原因状语从句，所填词用于be...as...结构作句子的谓语部分，剩余选项中符合这一条件的只有E) identified, be identified as意为“被认为…”，本句中指贫困家庭的孩子经常被认为学术失败的危险系数大。
43、H)。空格前be too提示所填词为形容词，剩余选项中D) equivalent，H) overwhelming, J) prevalent, underlying, O) visualizing入选。老师们认为学习两种语言对于贫困家庭的孩子而言压力很大，他们已经受到家庭状况的影响（家庭状况不好给他们,来压力），所填词与burdened表义相近，故H) overwhelming (压倒性的）为答案。overwhelming在此意每为“难以应对的”。
44、D)。所填词位于be...to...结构，to后的动名词telling排除了空格处为被动语态的可能，所以只能是形容，D) equivalent，J) prevalent，N) underlying入选。观察句子前的 Advising与 to后telling的对等关系，可以确定答案为D) equivalent，be equivalent to意为“相当于，等同于”，此句意为建议不会英语的家人只说英语等同于告诉他们不要与孩子进行交流与互动。
45、N) 。空格前的the以及空格后的message提示所填词为形容词 ，剩余选项中只有J) prevalent，N) underlying, O) visualizing入选。Moreover的递进作用提示此句进一步解释不会英语的家长只说英语所等同的情况：在告诉孩子他们家族的母语是不重要的、不受重视的。而“他们家族的母语是不重要的、不受重视的”这一信息由家人都不讲母语体现出来的，是潜在的，所以答案是N) underlying (潜在的）。
Section B
Passage One
46、【定位】根据题目中的requirements, stimulate，poet和creativity将本题出处定位于[G]段首句。
【精析】[G]。[G]段首句说自我表达的约束（如格和韵律的规则）可以激发创造性的思维，作为一名诗人，泰德•休斯对此种方式有着独到的见解。即，对诗歌写作的要求可以激发诗人的创造力。题目中的The rigorous requkements placed on the writing of poetry对应原文中的 constraints on self-expression, like the disciplines of metre and rhyme，stimulate 与对应原文的 spur, the poet’s creativity 对应原文中的 creative thought。
47【定位】根据题目中的old-fashioned和sound effects将本题出处定位于[C]段最后两句。
【精析】[C]。[C]段最后两句提到乔治•马丁他们用老式机器工作，被迫发挥创造力来解决问题，最后创造出了一些有着突破性音效的歌曲，让美国同行们惊叹不已。题目是对这两句意思的概括。
48、【定位】根据题目中的money和happiness将本题出处定位于[H]段。
【精析】[H]。[H]段提到人们常以为钱更多会让他们更快乐，但是经济学家们发现，超过一定收入，这两者之间就没有可靠的关联了。富人和中产阶级一样也可能会不高兴，也就是说，更多的钱并不一定能带来更多的快乐题目是对该段内容的概括。
49、【定位】根据题目中的lessons和easier to learn将本题出处定位于[F]段第2句。
【精析】[F】。[F]段第2句提到，在学校，教师和学生都经常假设，如果一个概念简单易学，那么这堂课就会成功。接下来第3句转折说，但无数的研究已经发现，课堂材料如果更难吸收，从长远来讲，学生们能记住更多，对其理解也更深。题目是对这两句内容的概括。
50、【定位】根据题目中的music, deliberately将本题出处定位于[A]段。
【精析】[A]。[A]段第3句指出杰克•怀特表演时，故意将自己的乐器放在不方便的位置说明怀特在蓄意为自己制造障碍。而本段首句提到，杰克•怀特是白色条纹乐队前主唱，在音乐界也是很有影响力的人物。本段末句提到，他认为音乐制作如果太容易，音乐就很难出彩。因此，可以说，正是这种蓄意为自己制造障碍的行为造就了杰克•怀特的成功。题目是对本段内容的概括。
51、【定位】根据题目中的freedom和happy将本题出处定位于[G]段第3句。
【精析】[G]。[G]段第3句说我们易于将自由等同于幸福，但是，心理治疗师和作家亚当•菲利普斯说，如果我们的愿望没有束缚，我们很难知道我们想要什么，或者我们的目标是什么。接下来又举了一个病人的例子说明该观点——并不是完全自由了就会快乐。题目与原文内容的推断。
52、【定位】根据题目中的Hughes和composed on computers将本题出处定位于[D]段末句。
【精析】[D]。[D]段末句中的they即指上文提到的long poems among the submissions,该句提到，经过多方打听，休斯发现，这些诗都是学生们回家路上用电脑写的。题目与该句同义。
53、【定位】根据题目中的bear in mind和the right obstacles将本题出处定位于[K]段倒数第2句。

【精析】[I]。[I]段第3句指出心理学家调查超级富豪的心态。接下来的几句讲述调查的结果，即他的许多研究对象都会因为钱给他们提供的无限选择而感到迷茫。题目是第5句的同义转述，其中的baffled与原文中的conflised同义。
55、【定位】根据题目中的one hundred and forty characters将本题出处定位于[J]段第2句。
【精析】[J]。[J]段第2句指出网站的巨大成功根植于简单却深刻的见解，在一个有无限空间可以表达自己的媒介中，最有趣的事是我们只能把自己在140个字内。题目中的one free social networking website指的正是文中的Twitter。

Passage Two
答案详解：
61、【定位】文章第1段和第2段是关于女性进步的介绍，因而将本题出处定位至这两段。
【精析】A)。第1段指出女性在21世纪的前十年已经取得了显著的成绩，并列举了大量的成功女性的例子 来加以说明形势一片大好。但是第2段首句就直接指出，不要高兴得太早，并在该段接下来的内容中举例指出为什么这么说：因为在很多国家和地区，女性的地位依然堪忧。.综合这两段看来，作者认为，女性进步的道路依然漫长，选项A)符合这两段的文意，故为答案。选项B)是对原文的片面理解，第1段端实列举了大量杰出女性取得辉煌成就的例子，但是第2段中作者随即指出，在其他一些地方，女性的生存和生活状态堪忧。因此排除B)。选项C)和D)的内容在文章中并未涉及，属于无理据、想当然的过度推断，故排除。

【精析】B)。第3、4段详细介绍了《新闻周刊》在全球范围内对女性的进步情况所做的调查，其中第3句 介绍的是这次调查的目的以及具体细节，第4段介绍了这次调查的结果。第4段首句中指出，得分最高的国家集中在西方，那里的法律禁止性别歧视，而且男女平等的权利是神圣化的，句子中where引导的定语从句实际上解释了原因。选项B)是对定语从句部分的同义转述印故为答案，三个干扰项均是依据第3段第 1句中所列的影响女性生活的五个方面而设置的，并不是使得女性取得最大进步的因素，故排除。
63、【定位】根据题干中的Canada将本题出处定位于第4段。
【精析】D)。第4段的第2—4句转折指出，但是情况并非总是如此，有一些其他排名很靠前的国家在政治代表方面的得分就很低，并以加拿大为例进行了说明。由此可见，加拿大的女性在参政方面的代表名额很有限。选项D)是对这三句的综合概述，故为答案。第4段中提到加拿大的例子主要是为了说明这个国家的 女性在政治方面参与度较低，但这并不表明她们不关心政治参与（选项A)），也并不代表她们被男人们作为平等者对待（选项B)),或者她们的社会地位低到令人吃惊的地步（选项C))，故排除这三项。
、【定位】根据题干中的Anne-Marie Goetz及in a nation’s top office将本题出处定位于第4段最后三句。
【精析】B)。第4段倒数第3句和第2句以设问的方式指出，就算有一个女性得以执掌一个国家，这也不代表这个国家的普通女性都生活得更好一些。倒数第1句话引用了安妮•玛丽•戈茨的话补充道，很难量化或者评估女性在政治上的影响力，因为只有极少数国家的政坛里，女性数量足以对本国产生影响。可见，安妮的态度与前两句所表述的观点一致。选项B)是对这三句的综合概述，故为答案。选项A)的内容与原文毫无关系，文章没有提到女性的政治意识，所以排除A)。文章中只是提及到女性参政的人数较少，而且这些参政的女性并不能代表这个国家的所有女性，安妮•玛丽•戈茨的发言中并未直接涉及女性地位或者女性自信相关的内容，故排除C)和D)。
65、【定位】根据题干中的Hillary Clinton将本题出处定位于第6段。
【精析】D)。第6段主要介绍了希拉里•克林顿的相关言论。第3句中她亮出了自己的观点：如果女性在经 济方面的潜能得以放开的话，将会对社区、国家乃至世界都产生积极影响。接下来她就这个观点进行了详细阐述，指出这种做法将带来的种种好处，题干中的make the world a better place即对应本部分的内容。在最后一句中，她总结陈词，再次指出，通过利用所有女性无尽的经济潜能将会为所有人提供机会。 由此可见，希拉里认为，如果能充分发掘女性在经济方面的潜力，世界将会交骨更美好。选项D)符合文意，故为答案。选项A)故意用political power混淆原文中提及的economic potential,不符合原文，故排除。选项B)在文中并未涉及，故排除。选项C)也是对原文中More educational opportunity for children的胡乱嫁接，不符合原文，故排除。
PartⅣ Translation
闻名于世的丝绸之路是一系列连接东西方的路线。丝绸之路延伸6,000多公里，得名于古代中国的丝绸贸易。丝绸之路上的贸易在中国、南亚、欧洲和中东文明发展中发挥了重要作用。正是通过丝绸之路，中国的造纸、火药、指南针、印刷术等四大发明才被引介到世界各地。同样，中国的丝绸、茶叶和瓷器(porcelain)也传遍全球。物质文化的交流是双向的，欧洲也通过丝绸之路出口各种商品和植物，满足中国市场的需求。
①The world-renowned Silk Road is a series of routes connecting the East and the West. ②Extending more than 6,000 kilometers, the Silk Road got its name from the silk trade of ancient China. ③The trade which was carried out along this route played an important role in the civilization development of China, South Asia, Europe and the Middle East. ④It was through the Silk Road that the four great inventions of ancient China, namely papermaking, gunpowder, compass and printing, were introduced to the world. ⑤Similarly, Chinese silk, tea and porcelain were spread all over the world. ⑥As the exchange of material culture is a two-way process, various goods and plants were also exported through the Silk Road from Europe to China to meet the needs of the Chinese market.
难点注释：
1、①句中“闻名于世的”译作 “world-renowned”，也可译作 “world-famous” 或 “well-known” ；“丝绸之路”译作 “Silk Road” 或 “Silk Route” ；“连接东西方的”译作 “connecting the East and the West”，此处处理为现在分词短语作后置定语。
2、②句含有两个谓语动词 ，将“延伸6,000多公里”译作现在分词短语“Extending more than 6,000 kilometers”，置于句首作状语，extend可以表示时间或空间上的“延长，延伸”，还可以用于比喻意义上的“延长”或范围上的“妒展”。“得名于”可译作“get one’s name from”或“be named after”。
3、③句中“丝調之路上的贸易”增译作“The trade which was carried out along this route”，此处使用“this route”以避免多次重复出现“Silk Road” ；“发挥了重要作用”译作“play an important/a significant role”，该短语为常考点，考生应重点记忆。
4、④句中“正是…才…”译作“It was... that...”强调句型。其中“四大发明”译作“the four great inventions of ancient China” ；“造纸、火药、指南针、印刷术等”处理为插入语“namely papermaking, gunpowder，compass and printing” ；“被引介到”译作 “be introduced to”。
5、⑤句中“同样”译作“similarly” ；“传遍全球”译作“spread all over the world”。
6、⑥句包含两个分句，将第一个分句“物质文化的交流是双向的”处理为状语从句“As the exchange of material culture is a two-way process”。其中“物质文化”可译作 “material culture” 或 “tangible culture” ； “双向的”也可译作“bilateral”，此处为使句子结构保持平衡 ，将“双向的”增译作“a two- way process” 。 “满足…的需要”译作“meet the needs of...”，该短语为常考点，考生应重点记忆。
