40.B本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了一位女士在大約20年前第一次接觸自然科學(xué)課程的經(jīng)歷。在那堂課上，教授告訴學(xué)生不要相信自己的感官。這深深地刺痛了當(dāng)年只有17歲的她，因?yàn)樗J(rèn)為自己正開始了解世界，感官是她唯一依賴的工具，而教授卻把它拿走了。這使她很害怕，當(dāng)天下午就放棄了這門課程，至今也沒再走近科學(xué)。【21題詳解】考查上下文連串。A.history歷史；B.science自然科學(xué)；C.art藝術(shù)；D.math數(shù)學(xué)。本段上文出現(xiàn)了名詞education，以及根據(jù)下文“Youhavejust____6____animportantlessonaboutscience.，可知這位女士記起的是一堂自然科學(xué)課程。故選B。【22題詳解】考查動詞詞組。A.marchedinto（大步）走進(jìn)；B.searchedfor尋找；C.gotthrough完成，打通電話；D.lookedat看。此處指教授走進(jìn)演講大廳。故選A?！?3題詳解】考查動詞。A.count計(jì)算；B.report報(bào)告；C.watch觀看；D.guess猜測。根據(jù)下一句中的After39shoutsofwildlywrongguesses可知此處指教授讓學(xué)生猜有多少豆子。故選D?！?4題詳解】考查動詞。A.warning警告；B.giving給；C.listeningto聽；D.turningaway走開，把臉轉(zhuǎn)過去。根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)可以看出第4個空中的動作應(yīng)是教授發(fā)出的。句意：聽了學(xué)生的瞎猜之后，教授露出一個淡淡的笑。由此可知選C。【25題詳解】考查形容詞。A.correct正確的；B.ready有準(zhǔn)備的；C.possible可能的；

D.difficult困難的。根據(jù)前面的wildlywrongguesses可知此處指教授給出正確的答案。correct正確的。故選A?！?6題詳解】考查動詞。A.prepared準(zhǔn)備；B.learned學(xué)習(xí)；C.taught教；D.taken拿走，帶走。learnanimportantlesson表示“學(xué)到很重要的一堂課”。該動作是學(xué)生對課程做出的，那么自然是在學(xué)習(xí)課程。故選B。【27題詳解】考查動詞。A.lose失去；B.sharpen使鋒利；C.show展示；D.trust相信。根據(jù)這個故事可知，教授讓學(xué)生不要相信自己的感官。所以用動詞trust。故選D?！?8題詳解】考查名詞。A.scientist科學(xué)家；B.woman女士；C.speaker說話者；D.lecturer演講者。此處的thewoman就是指第一段中的awoman。根據(jù)下文也可推斷出，因?yàn)樗岬?0年前自己是一個17歲的女生。故選B?！?9題詳解】考查動詞。句意：他可能把自己看作是在邀請學(xué)生去探索未知世界。see…as…“把……看作”；describe…as…“把……描述為”；respect…as…“把……尊為”；serveas“充當(dāng)”。故選A?！?0題詳解】考查名詞。A.movement移動；B.voyage航行；C.change改變；D.rush匆忙。學(xué)生對未知世界開啟的是一次航程，而非“運(yùn)動”、“改變”亦或者“匆忙沖進(jìn)”。此處應(yīng)指“邀請學(xué)生開始令人激動的對未知世界的探索之旅”。故選B。【31題詳解】考查名詞。A.professor教授；B.knowledge知識；C.light光線；D.eye眼睛。根據(jù)He____9____himself,perhaps,asinvitinghisstudentstostartanexciting____10____intoanunknownworldinvisibletothe____11____,whichcanbediscoveredonlythroughscientific____12____.也許，他認(rèn)為自己是在邀請學(xué)生們開始一段激動人心的旅程，進(jìn)入眼睛看不見的未知世界，而這個世界只有通過科學(xué)方法才能被發(fā)現(xiàn)。故選D?！?2題詳解】考查名詞。A.model模型；B.senses感知；C.methods方法；D.spirit精神。根據(jù)He____9____himself,perhaps,asinvitinghisstudentstostartanexciting____10____intoanunknownworldinvisibletothe____11____,whichcanbediscoveredonlythroughscientific____12____.也許，他認(rèn)為自己是在邀請學(xué)生們開始一段激動人心的旅程，進(jìn)入眼睛看不見的未知世界，而這個世界只有通過科學(xué)方法才能被發(fā)現(xiàn)。故選C。【33題詳解】考查動詞。A.make制造；B.hear聽見；C.present贈送；D.refuse拒絕。even是一個強(qiáng)烈的遞進(jìn)關(guān)系詞。句意：但是這個17歲的女生不愿意接受邀請或者甚至沒有聽到這樣的邀請。故選B。【34題詳解】考查動詞。A.suggesting建議；B.pretending假裝；C.waiting等待；D.beginning開始。此處指她自己正開始了解世界。我們知道，女孩十七歲，正是剛開始認(rèn)識世界的年紀(jì)。故選D?！?5題詳解】考查動詞。A.believed相信；B.doubted懷疑；C.proved證明；D.explained解釋。與之相關(guān)的是后句的內(nèi)容：“她的第一感覺會是正確的”，對這件事情她沒有“證明”或者“解釋”，自然可排除C、D，無關(guān)選項(xiàng)。（因?yàn)樗约赫_始了解世界）所以她相信直接得到的經(jīng)驗(yàn)就是真實(shí)的。故選A。【36題詳解】考查名詞。A.growth成長；B.strength力量；C.truth事實(shí)；D.faith信念。女孩認(rèn)為第一感覺是正確的。根據(jù)第15空的解析可知，此處表示“事實(shí)真相”。故選C。【37題詳解】考查形容詞。A.wrong錯誤的；B.firm強(qiáng)有力的；C.interesting有趣的；

D.acceptable可以接受的。根據(jù)上一段可知，教授認(rèn)為不要相信感官，因?yàn)楦泄賻淼拇鸢甘清e誤的。所以此處選A。【38題詳解】考查名詞。A.task任務(wù)；B.success成功；C.connection聯(lián)系；D.tool工具。為了知道未知世界，我手中唯一的是工具，于是選擇B。其他選項(xiàng)不合理。她認(rèn)為教授把她依賴的唯一的工具即感官拿走了。故選D?！?9題詳解】考查形容詞。A.proud自豪的；B.frightened感到害怕的；C.cruel殘酷的；D.brave勇敢的。and提示文章此處是并列關(guān)系，而與感覺渺小并列的是感覺害怕，cruel的含義是“殘忍的”，語義自然不合適，排除。根據(jù)女士的描述可知，她當(dāng)時認(rèn)為自己很渺小，很害怕。故選B。【40題詳解】考查動詞。A.started開始；B.dropped丟棄，中斷；C.passed通過；

D.missed想念，錯過。被教授傷害后，我對這個科目能做的動作顯然不是“開始學(xué)習(xí)”或者“通過”，于是排除B、C；而missed的含義是“失去”，無關(guān)選項(xiàng)；drop在此表示“丟棄，中斷，停止”。故選B。三、閱讀理解18.Thereissomeunwelcomenewsforstudentspreparingforexamsandofficersputtinginlonghours—youdon’tneedthat“refreshment（提神）break”asmuchasyoumaythink.Scientistsbelieveditwasnoteasyforpeopletocontinuetheirworkiftheyfelttheneedtohaveasnackoraresttomakethemfeelbetter.Theyarguedthattheonlywaytoregainwillpowerisbysupplyingmoreenergytoourbodieswithrest,foodorentertainment.Butpsychologistshavechallengedthistheory,sayingweakwillpowerisinyourhead.Theyfoundthataperson’smindset(理念)andbeliefaboutwillpowerdeterminehowlongandhowwellthey’llbeabletoworkonatoughmentalexercise.“Ifyouthinkofwillpowerassomethingthat’slimited,you’remorelikelytobetiredwhenyouperformadifficulttask,”saidProfessorVeronikaJob.“Butifyouthinkofwillpowerassomethingthatisnoteasilydepleted,youcangoonandon.”TheresearchersledbyMr.Jobdesignedanexperimenttotestthestudents’beliefsaboutwillpower.Afteratiringtaskthosewhobelievedorwereledtobelievethatwillpowerwasalimitedresourceperformedworseonstandardconcentrationteststhanthosewhothoughtofwillpowerassomethingtheyhadmorecontrolover.Mr.Jobsaid,“Studentswhomayalreadyhavetroublestudyingarebeingtoldthattheirpowersofconcentrationarelimited,andtheyneedtotakefrequentbreaks.Butabeliefinwillpowerasanon-limitedresourcemakespeoplestrongerintheirabilitytoworkthroughchallenges.”Thefindingscouldhelppeoplewhoarebattlingwithtemptation(誘惑):peoplefollowingstrictdietsanddoingexerciseregularlytoloseweight,peopletryingtoovercomeaddictions,employeesfacingatightdeadline.Willpowerisn’tdrivenbyabiologicallybasedprocessasmuchasweusedtothink.12.Whatopiniondidscientistshaveinthepast?A.Willpowerwasalimitedresource.B.Itwashardtoregainwillpower.C.Hardworkingpeopleseldomtookbreaks.D.Peoplecouldeasilyfeeltiredwhenworking.13.Whichofthefollowingcanreplacetheunderlinedword“depleted”inparagraph3?A.Givenup.

15.D本文是一篇說明文，以前人們認(rèn)為意志力的來源是有限的，心理學(xué)家意志力的有了新的理論，認(rèn)為意志力存在人腦中，對我們的行為能夠產(chǎn)生很大的影響?！?2題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第二句“Theyarguedthattheonlywaytoregainwillpowerisbysupplyingmoreenergytoourbodieswithrest,foodorentertainment.”可知他們認(rèn)為得到意志力的唯一方法是用休息、食物和娛樂。句中“only”強(qiáng)調(diào)意志力的來源是有限的。故A項(xiàng)正確?！?3題詳解】猜測詞義題。根據(jù)前句“Ifyouthinkofwillpowerassomethingthat’slimited,you’remorelikelytobetiredwhenyouperformadifficulttask”可知如果你認(rèn)為意志力是有限的東西，在完成困難的任務(wù)時，你更可能會疲憊；本句中的but是關(guān)鍵詞，如果你認(rèn)為意志力很難被耗盡，那么你就可以繼續(xù)下去。使用本句這的deplete意為“useup”，故C項(xiàng)正確。【14題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第二句“Theyfoundthataperson’smindset(理念)andbeliefaboutwillpowerdeterminehowlongandhowwellthey’llbeabletoworkonatoughmentalexercise.”可知研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)意志力能夠決定人們做一項(xiàng)艱難的任務(wù)的時間和結(jié)果。也就是說意志力能夠影響人們的行為。故D項(xiàng)正確?！?5題詳解】主旨大意題。作者在第二段里介紹了以前人們對意志力的看法，第三段第一句“Butpsychologistshavechallengedthistheory,sayingweakwillpowerisinyourhead.”告訴我們心理學(xué)家有了新的觀點(diǎn)，下文主要介紹了關(guān)于意志力的新的發(fā)現(xiàn)。所以本文介紹了關(guān)于意志力的一種新的理論。故D項(xiàng)正確。19.
