D.Indifferent.〖答案〗32.D33.B34.A35.A【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇議論文。文章探討了現(xiàn)代社會中噪音干擾的問題以及人們使用降噪技術(shù)的現(xiàn)象。文章指出，雖然降噪技術(shù)在市場上大受歡迎，但過度使用可能帶來身體和社會方面的負面影響?！?2題詳析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中“Everywhereyougo,itseemslikepeopleareusingsomethingtoreducethenoiseintheirlives.Theywearover-earheadphonesonpublictransportation,duringlongflights,orinopen-planoffices,orusecoloredearplugs(耳塞)atconcerts.(無論你走到哪里，人們似乎都在用某種東西來減少生活中的噪音。他們在公共交通工具上、長途飛行中或在開放式辦公室里戴著戴耳式耳機，或者在音樂會上使用彩色耳塞)”和第二段中“Noise-cancellingtechnologywasfirstdevelopedinthe1950storeducecockpitnoiseforpilots.Theheadphonestodayusetechnologyknownasactivenoisecontrol.(降噪技術(shù)最早是在20世紀50年代發(fā)展起來的，目的是為飛行員減少駕駛艙的噪音。今天的耳機使用了一種被稱為主動噪聲控制的技術(shù))”可推知，降噪耳機是用于減少生活中的噪音，在嘈雜的環(huán)境中創(chuàng)造一種安靜的感覺。故選D項?！?3題詳析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中“Moderate(適中的)backgroundnoise,around70dB,hasbeenfoundtoadvanceperformanceoncreativetasks,forexample.(例如，研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，適度的背景噪音(約70分貝)可以提高創(chuàng)造性任務(wù)的表現(xiàn))”可知，適度的背景噪聲可以提高創(chuàng)造性任務(wù)的表現(xiàn)，故“Creativetaskperformancecanbeimprovedbythemoderatebackgroundnoise.”是正確表述。故選B項?！?4題詳析】詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞所在句“Somepeoplecanworkreallyeffectivelyinbuzzy

cafesandevenairports,andyettheycan’tfocusinthesamewayinanoffice.(有些人可以在buzzy的咖啡館甚至機場高效地工作，但他們卻無法在辦公室里保持同樣的專注)”中“cafes(咖啡館)”和常識可推知，咖啡館是喧鬧的，故buzzy與lively同義，意為“熱鬧的”。故選A項?！?5題詳析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中“Anover-dependenceonnoise-cancellingtechnologyisnotnecessarilythesolution,saysMcAlpine.(過度依賴降噪技術(shù)未必是解決問題的辦法，麥卡爾平說)”可推知，McAlpine對過度依賴降噪技術(shù)持否定態(tài)度。故選A項。第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2.5分,滿分12.5分)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。Self-discipline(自律)isatermthateveryoneunderstands.However,fewpeopleappreciateit.Disciplinehappenstoeventhemostfamouspeople.Itisnecessaryforalllivingbeings,becausewithoutittherewouldbedisorderaroundus.___36___.Improvesyourself-esteemNothingismoreenjoyablethandevelopingnewhabits,quittingoldones,andachievingyourgoals.___37___.Sticktoaroutine,manageyourtime,andfightdelay.Highself-esteemcarrieswithittherestofyourlifeandyourrelationship.Highself-esteemalsohelpsyoufacechallengeswithgreaterconfidenceindifficultsituations.HelpsyouachievegoalsWeallhavegoalsinlife.Workgoalsareverycommon,buttheycanalsoincludethingslikelearninganewlanguage,improvingahobbyorfitnessgoal.___38___.Itwon’thappenovernight.___39___.Notallgreatheadsareborn,mostofwhomfollowaverybusyscheduleandkeepthedisciplineintheirlivestobecomegoodleaders.Gooddisciplinecreatesapositiveattitudetowardssociety,confidenceandadesiretodosomethinggreat.Disciplinehelpspeopledevelopattitudesthatarethekeytosuccess.Theycanserveasgreatrolemodelsforothersinsociety.Makesyoumoretrustworthy___40___.Forexample,ifyoudon’tknowhowtomanageyourtime,youmayhaveproblemsmeetingdeadlinesatwork,arrivingontimeforeventsandmeetings,orspendingenoughtimewithyourlovedones.Youcanearnareputationforbeinguntrustworthy.Disciplinecanhelpyoudevelopnewhabits,andmanageyourtimeeffectively.Withtimeanddiscipline,youwillseeimprovementsandsuccess.A.MakesyoualeaderB.HelpspeoplebuildconfidenceC.YouneeddisciplinetogetwhatyouwantD.LackofdisciplinecanmakeabigdifferenceinyourlifeE.Therefore,theimportanceofdisciplineinlifecannotbeignoredF.TrustworthypeoplearemorelikelytobelikedandrespectedbyothersG.Thesevictoriesgiveyouasenseofhappiness,makingiteasiertokeepdiscipline〖答案〗36.E37.G38.C39.A40.D【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。文章主要說明了自律的好處和缺乏自律的危害。【36題詳析】由上文“Self-discipline(自律)isatermthateveryoneunderstands.However,fewpeopleappreciateit.Disciplinehappenstoeventhemostfamouspeople.Itisnecessaryforalllivingbeings,becausewithoutittherewouldbedisorderaroundus.(自律是一個人人都懂的術(shù)語。然而，很少有人欣賞它。即使是最著名的人也會自律。它對所有的生物都是必要的，因為沒有它，我們周圍就會混亂。)”可知，自律是非常重要的，故E選項“Therefore,theimportanceofdisciplineinlifecannotbeignored(因此，自律在生活中的重要性不容忽視)”能承接上文，符合題意。故選E?！?7題詳析】由上文“Nothingismoreenjoyablethandevelopingnewhabits,quittingoldones,andachievingyourgoals.(沒有什么比養(yǎng)成新習(xí)慣、改掉舊習(xí)慣和實現(xiàn)目標更令人愉快的了。)”推知，實現(xiàn)目標的喜悅更有可能讓人們自律，故G選項“Thesevictoriesgiveyouasenseofhappiness,makingiteasiertokeepdiscipline(這些勝利給你一種幸福感，讓你更容易遵守紀律)”能承上啟下，符合題意。故選G?！?8題詳析】由上文“Weallhavegoalsinlife.Workgoalsareverycommon,buttheycanalsoincludethingslikelearninganewlanguage,improvingahobbyorfitnessgoal.(我們都有人生目標。工作目標很常見，但也可以包括學(xué)習(xí)一門新語言、培養(yǎng)愛好或健身目標等。)”和下文“Itwon’thappenovernight.(這不會在一夜之間發(fā)生)”可知，只有自律才能我們的目標實現(xiàn)，故C選項“Youneeddisciplinetogetwhatyouwant(你需要自律才能得到你想要的)”能承接上文，符合題意。故選C?！?9題詳析】由下文“Notallgreatheadsareborn,mostofwhomfollowaverybusyscheduleandkeepthedisciplineintheirlivestobecomegoodleaders.Gooddisciplinecreatesapositiveattitudetowardssociety,confidenceandadesiretodosomethinggreat.Disciplinehelpspeopledevelopattitudesthatarethekeytosuccess.Theycanserveasgreatrolemodelsforothersinsociety.(并不是所有偉大的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者都是天生的，他們中的大多數(shù)人都遵循非常繁忙的日程，并在他們的生活中保持紀律，成為優(yōu)秀的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者。良好的紀律培養(yǎng)了對社會的積極態(tài)度、信心和做大事的愿望。紀律幫助人們培養(yǎng)態(tài)度，這是成功的關(guān)鍵。他們可以成為社會上其他人的偉大榜樣。)”可知，自律可以讓我們成為行業(yè)的佼佼者，并取得成功，故A選項“Makesyoualeader(讓你成為領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者)”能概括本段主題，符合題意。故選A。【40題詳析】由下文“Forexample,ifyoudon’tknowhowtomanageyourtime,youmayhaveproblemsmeetingdeadlinesatwork,arrivingontimeforeventsandmeetings,orspendingenoughtimewithyourlovedones.Youcanearnareputationforbeinguntrustworthy.(例如，如果你不知道如何管理你的時間，你可能無法按時完成工作，按時到達活動和會議，或者花足夠的時間和你愛的人在一起。你會因為不值得信任而贏得名聲。)”可知，缺乏自律對我們有負面影響，故D選項“Lackofdisciplinecanmakeabigdifferenceinyourlife(缺乏自律會對你的生活產(chǎn)生很大的影響)”能引起下文，符合題意。故
