professional C educational D interpersonal1.答案C warning考点：上下文语义理解解析：空格之后的宾语从句部分“technology is replacing human workers.”结合选项，应该选择 warning。其他三项A boasting符合此处的语境要求，故均排除。B denyingD ensuring 均不2.答案A inequality考点：上下文语义理解空格单词后面的句意看到了贫富对比，故作为上文对其进行概括关键应选择inequality。3.答案D prediction考点：时态判断空格之后的内容“holds that the future will be a wasteland of a different sort，”该定语从句是对空格词汇的修饰与说明，既然文中用到了 will 这一个表示将来时态的助动词，故答案为 prediction。4.答案A characterized考点：后置定语+固定搭配one 4 by purposelessness。其他三项均不符合，故排除。5.答案B meaning考点：句间语义理解Without jobs to give their lives 5，people will simply become lazy and depressed.空格所在句后面的表述与空格前的内容属于并列关系，由逗号连接。答案选择meaning。A wisdomC gloryD freedom这些选项都表示褒义色彩和后面 lazy、depressed 矛盾。6.答案B Indeed考点：上下文逻辑关系分析下四个选项可以看出并无体现因果关系故A Thus 排除，另外 instead，nevertheless 表示转折语意，但是上下文逻辑并无体现。故AInsteadCThusD Nevertheless 均排除。7.答案C working考点：上下文语义理解One Gallup poll found that 20 percent of Americans who have been unemployed forat least a year report having depression，double the rate for 7 Americans.根据上下文对比的语意对照应该选择 working。前面提到 unemployed。此处在进行对比，故选择表示反义呼应的词 working。8.答案A explanation考点：句内语意理解+固定搭配some research suggests that the 8 for rising rates of mortality，mental-healthproblems，and addicting 9 poorly-educated middle-aged people is shortage of well-paid jobs.9.答案D among考点：句内语义理解、介词辨析很明显应该指前者的发生范围。浏览四个选项，among“在.中”表示范围，符合此处语义需要，故为答案。10.答案C worry about考点：上下文语义理解+句内语义理解Perhaps this is why many 10 the agonizing dullness of a jobless future.11.答案C necessarily考点：上下文逻辑关系+句内语义理解But it doesnt 11 follow from findings like these that a world without work would befilled with unease.But 表示转折语意。doesnt necessarily 不一定。符合此处语意需要，故为答案。12.答案B downsides考点：上下文语义理解 后置定语Such visions are based on the 12 of being unemployed in a society built on theconcept of employment.答案的线索在于空格后面的介词短语，后面提到 being unemployed。这是贬义。其他选项均不符条件。13.答案A absence考点：词汇复现In the 13 of work，a society designed with other ends in mind could 14 strikinglydifferent circumstances for the future of labor and leisure.14.答案D yield考点：词汇的一词多义与搭配In the 13 of work，a society designed with other ends in mind could 14 strikinglydifferent circumstances for the future of labor and leisure.该空格所选词汇的主语是asociety 宾语是 different circumstances.根据主谓一致的原则应该选择 yield。语义为：产生。15.答案C virtue考点：上下文语义理解overblown.一词为解题线索。含义：吹散吹倒 表贬义。后面的内容Many jobs areboring，degrading，unhealthy，and a waste of human potential，”says JohnDanaher，a lecturer at the National University of Ireland in Galway.是对这句话的进一步解释，结合前后的上下文语义理解，应选择 virtue，其他选项均排除。16.答案D scarce考点：上下文语义理解because leisure time is relatively 16 for most workers，people use their free time tocounterbalance the intellectual and emotional 17 of their jobs.结合常识认知及上下文理解应该选择 scarce。17.答案A demands考点：上下文语义理解根据语义的要求，浏览选项，只有 demands 符合语义要求。18.答案B tired考点：上下文语义理解+常识“When I come home from a hard days work，I often feel 18，”Danaher says，adding，“In a world in which I dont have to work，I might feel rather different”.19.答案D into考点：固定搭配+句内语义理解perhaps different enough to throw himself 19 a hobby or a passion project with theintensity usually reserved for 20 matters.“Throw oneself into”意思是：一头扎进；投身于，积极从事20.答案B professional考点：复现+呼应perhaps different enough to throw himself into a hobby or a passion project with theintensity usually reserved for 20 matters.此处空格处答案和前面的 intensity 形成呼应与关联。故此处 professional 符合语义需要，入选。SectionSection II II ReadingReading

choosingchoosingA,A,B,B,C C oror D.D.MarkMark youryour answersanswers onon thethe ANSWERANSWER SHEET.SHEET.（4040 pointspoints）TextText 1 1Every Saturday morning,at 9 am,more than 50,000 runners set off to run 5kmaround their local park.The Parkrun phenomenon began with a dozen friends and hasinspired 400 events in the UK and more abroad.Events are free,staffed by thousandsof volunteers.Runners range from four years old to grandparents;their times rangefrom Andrew Baddeleys world record 13 minutes 48 seconds up to an hour.Parkrun is succeeding where Londons Olympic legacy is failing.Ten years agoon Monday,it was announced that the Games of the 30th Olympiad would be inLondon.Planning documents pledged that the great legacy of the Games would be tolevel a nation of sport lovers away from their couches.The population would be fitter,healthier and produce more winners.It has not happened.The number of adults doingweekly sport did rise,by nearly 2 million in the run up to 2012 but the generalpopulation was growing faster.Worse,the numbers are now falling at an acceleratingrate.The opposition claims primary school pupils doing at least two hours of sport aweek have nearly halved.Obesity has risen among adults and children.Officialretrospections continue as to why London 2012 failed to inspire a generation.Thesuccess of Parkrun offers answers.Parkun is not a race but a time trial:Your only competitor is the clock.The ethoswelcomes anybody.There is as much joy over a puffed-out first-timer being clappedover the line as there is about top talent shining.The Olympic bidders,by contrast,wanted to get more people doing sports and to produce more elite athletes.The dualaim was mixed up:The stress on success over taking part was intimidating fornewcomers.Indeed,there is something a little absurd in the state getting involved in theplanning of such a fundamentally grassroots,concept as community sportsassociations.If there is a role for government,it should really be getting involved inproviding common goods making sure there is space for playing fields and themoney to pave tennis and netball courts,and encouraging the provision of all theseactivities in schools.But successive governments have presided over selling greenspaces,squeezing money from local authorities and declining attention on sport ineducation.Instead of wordy,worthy strategies,future governments need to do more toprovide the conditions for sport to thrive.Or at least not make them worse.21.【题干】According to Paragraph1,Parkrun has.【选项】A.gained great popularityB.created many jobs
