But when it comes to one of the cruelest crimes animal fighting things 26 work out that way. Dog fighting victims are 27 and killed for profit and “sport,” yet their criminal abusers often receive a 28 sentence for causing a lifetime of pain. Roughly half of all federally-convicted animal fighters only get probation(缓刑).Some progress has been made in the prosecution(起诉) of animal fighters. But federal judges often rely heavily on the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines when they 29penalties, and in the case of animal fighting, those guidelines are outdated and extremely30.The U.S. Sentencing Commission, which 31these sentencing guidelines, is revisiting them, proposing to raise the minimum sentence from 6-12 to 21-27 months. This is a step in the right 32, but wed like to see the U.S. Sentencing Commission make further guidelines.Simultaneous to this effort, were working with animal advocates and state and federal lawmakers to 33 anti-cruelty laws across the country, as well as supporting laws and policies that assist overburdened animal 34 that care for animal fighting victims. This help is35 important because the high cost of caring for animal victims is a major deterrent to intervening in cruelty cases in the first place.A) convenientB) creates C) critically D) determine E) direction F) hesitate G) inadequate H)inspiredI) methodJ) minimalK) rarely L) sheltersM) strengthenN) sufferingsO) torturedSection A26.

That's the conclusion of a new study that finds that Earth's oceans now (26)heat at twice the rate they did 18 years ago. Around half of ocean heat intake since 1865 has taken place since 1997, researchers report online in Nature Climate Change.Warming waters are known to (27)to coral bleaching(珊瑚白化) and they take up more space than cooler waters, raising sea (28).

A new study   26   that belief, questioning whether brains really can be distinguished by gender.In the study, Tel Aviv University researchers   27    for sex differences the entire human brain.And what did they find? Not much. Rather than offer evidence for   28   brains as “male” or “female,” research shows that brains fall into a wide range, with most people falling right in the middle.Daphna Joel, who led the study, said her research found that while there are some gender-based   29   , many different types of brain cant always be distinguished by gender.While the “average” male and “average” female brains were   30   different, you couldnt tell it by looking at individual brain scans. Only a small   31    of people had “all-male” or “all-female” characteristics.Larry Cahill, an American neuroscientist (神经科学家),said the study is an important addition to a growing body of research questioning   32    beliefs about gender and brain function. But he cautioned against concluding from this study that all brains are the same,   33   of gender.“Theres a mountain of evidence   34   the importance of sex influences at all levels of brain function,” he told The Seattle Times.If anything, he said, the study   35   that gender plays a very important role in the brain “even when we are not clear exactly how.”A) abnormal           I) regardlessB) applied              J) searchedC) briefly               K) similaritiesD) categorizing          L) slightlyE) challenges            M) suggestsF) figure                N) tastesG) percentage            O) traditionalH) proving第一，从题材来看，两篇都属于科学报告。对比来说，海洋这篇略难，一共3段，第二段内容信息丰富。大脑性别249字，几乎每1-2句组成一段，一共8段，层次分明，读起来比较容易。文章比海洋长，做题时帮助解题的线索信息就多。第二，从选项来看，大脑性别15个选项中有2个副词选项，在判定空格词性时，副词词尾-ly，最容易选出，基本为送分空。反观海洋，15个选项中副词0个，但有8个名词，而且还有2个双词性（不是名词就是动词），名词可能有10个。名词的用法相对于副词、形容词和动词，更为复杂。第三，从文章易读性来看，且海洋为说明文，行文用词多是四级考生不熟悉的短语词组，如volcanic outbreaks火山喷发，fossil fuel矿石燃料等等。无疑增加了做题难度。来看看在做题时，如何应对吧 先从简单的入手：题目精析选项：A) abnormal              I) regardlessB) applied                 J) searchedC) briefly                   K) similaritiesD) categorizing         L) slightlyE) challenges            M) suggestsF) figure                    N) tastesG) percentage           O) traditionalH) provingMany men and women have long bought into the idea that there are “male” and “female” brains, believing that explains just about every difference between the sexes.A new study   26   that belief, questioning whether brains really can be distinguished by gender.In the study, Tel Aviv University researchers   27    for sex differences the entire human brain.先看第一段的第一句，点明主旨。再看第26空，缺少动词，主语为单数，推断要填的动词为三单形式；第27空也缺少动词，且这个动词跟空格后的for组成固定搭配，时态未知。选项M,N,E符合26的要求，再结合句义判断；第一句提到传统观点认为大脑有性别之分，而一项新的研究“质疑”这一理念，questioning 也呼应这里的动词的意义。26空选，E challenges。结合下文看第27空。And what did they find? Not much. Rather than offer evidence for   28   brains as “male” or “female,” research shows that brains fall into a wide range, with most people falling right in the middle.这个调查study是过去做的，did也呼应这一点。27填入的应是谓语动词过去式。27空选. J searched。28题略难一些，可用排除法做。空格在名词前，应填入形容词，且这个词要能跟as搭配，在abnormal，traditonal和regardless里选择，语义不符。根据上下文语义应该填入categorizing，把分类。categorize A as B or C，把A分为B或C；categorize brains as “male”or“female”把大脑分为男性或女性。28. D categorizingDaphna Joel, who led the study, said her research found that while there are some gender-based   29   , many different types of brain cant always be distinguished by gender.29空解题的关键词在while，这里表“让步，尽管，即使”；那么这里要填入一个名词。且意义与逗号后面的different types相反，选项中2个名词，percentage和similarities。显然选相同点。29. K similaritiesWhile the “average” male and “average” female brains were   30   different, you couldnt tell it by looking at individual brain scans. Only a small   31    of people had “all-male” or “all-female” characteristics.第30空比较简单，系表结构，完整，这里缺修饰different的副词，在briefly和slightly中结合语义选择slightly。30. L slightly第31题为固定搭配：a small percentage of people “一小部分比例的人”。31. G percentageLarry Cahill, an American neuroscientist (神经科学家),said the study is an important addition to a growing body of research questioning   32    beliefs about gender and brain function. But he cautioned against concluding from this study that all brains are the same,   33   of gender.这个句子有点长，但不难，动名词questioning看作是动词question，空格处缺少形容词，结合句义，这项研究是对什么的一个补充，选择traditional。而不是变态的abnormal，也不是regardless，这个词一看就是要考固定搭配的，别问我为什么，做多了你就知道了，语感。32. O traditional第33题，of搭配，选regardless,regardless of 表示无论的意思。33. I regardless“Theres a mountain of evidence   34   the importance of sex influences at all levels of brain function,” he told The Seattle Times.语感，一大堆证据后面跟什么，证明呀！选项中只有一个proving符合。34. H provingIf anything, he said, the study   35   that gender plays a very important role in the brain “even when we are not clear exactly how.”最后一空，the study/research，凡是这些词做主语的，动词一般是suggest/prove/imply，直接选suggests。35. M suggestsCET4-cloze-2017-6-1Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.The method for making beer has changed over time. Hops (啤酒花)，for example, which give many a modem beer its bitter flavor, are a (26)_ recent addition to the beverage. This was first mentioned in reference to brewing in the ninth century. Now, researchers have found a (27)_ingredient in residue (残留物）from 5,000-year-old beer brewing equipment. While digging two pits at a site in the central plains of China, scientists discovered fragments from pots and vessels. The different shapes of the containers (28)_they were used to brew, filter, and store beer. They may be ancient “beer-making tools,” and the earliest (29_evidence of beer brewing in China, the researchers reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. To (30)_that theory, the team examined the yellowish, dried (31)_inside the vessels. The majority of the grains, about 80%, were from cereal crops like barley (大麦),and about 10% were bits of roots, (32)_lily,which would have made the beer sweeter, the scientists say. Barley was an unexpected find: the crop was domesticated in Western Eurasia and didn't become a (33)_food in central China until about 2,000 years ago, according to the researchers. Based on that timing, they indicate barley may have (34)_ in the region not as food, but as (35)_material for beer brewing.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。A) ArrivedB) B) consumingC) C) directD) D) exclusivelyE) includingF) informG) rawH) reachedI) relativelyJ) remainsK)resourcesL) stapleM) suggestN) surprisingO) test26272829303132333435INMCOJELAGCET4-cloze-2017-6-2Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.Americas Internet is fester than ever before, but people still complain about their Internet being too slow.New Yorks Attorney Generals office (26)_ an investigation in the fall into whether or not Verizon, Cablevision and Time Warner are delivering broadband thats as fast as the providers (27)_ it is. Earlier this month, the office asked for the publics help to measure their speed results, saying consumers (28)_ to get the speeds they were promised. “Too many of us may be paying for one thing, and getting another，” the Attorney General said.If the investigation uncovers anything, it wouldnt be the first time a telecom provider got into (29)_ over the broadband speeds it promised and delivered customers. Back in June, the Federal Communications Commission fined AT& T $ 100 million over (30)_ that the carrier secretly reduced wireless speeds after customers consumed a certain amount of (31)_ .Even when they stay on the right side of the law, Internet providers arouse customers anger over bandwidth speed and cost.

Fear not, however, for coffee can stimulate them again. During (26)_ exercise, our muscles tire as they run out of fuel and build up waste products. Muscle performance can also be affected by a (27)_ called "central fatigue,” in which an imbalance in the bodys chemical messengers prevents the central nervous system from directing muscle movements（28)_. It was not known, however, whether central fatigue might also affect motor systems not directly (29)_ in the exercise itself, such as those that move the eyes. To find out, researchers gave 11 volunteer cyclists a carbohydrate (碳水化合物的）(30)_ either with a moderate dose of caffeine (咖啡因)，which is known to stimulate the central nervous system, or as a placebo (安慰剂） without, during 3 hours of (31)_ . After exercising, the scientists tested the cyclists with eyetracking cameras to see how well their brains could still (32)_ their visual system. The team found that exercise reduced the speed of rapid eye movements by about 8%, (33)_ their ability to capture new visual information. The caffeine, the equivalent of two strong cups of coffee, was (34)_ to reverse this effect, with some cyclists even displaying (35)_ eye movement speeds. So it might be a good idea to get someone else
