12、人更有可能做不 道德的事，故选A。【13题详解】C 细节理解题。根据第三段 “Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive cars ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving more modest （不豪华 的）cars.”可知，开好车的司机更有可能不遵守交通规则，故选C。【14题详解】A 细节理解题。由最后一段最后一句 He said the experiments were to show how people living in differen

13、t social situations express their instincts and values in different ways. ”可知，实验是为了表明生活在不同的社会环境中人们表达他们的本能和 价值观的方式不同，即：展示社会地位如何影响人们的道德，故选A。【15题详解】B 主旨大意题。根据第一段 “rich people are more likely to do unethical （不道德 的）things, such as lie or cheat, than poorer people 可知，文章主要介绍有钱人 更有可能做不道德的事情，故选B。考点：考查社会现象类短

14、文阅读【名师点睛】社会现象类阅读解题技巧：这类文章通过写人记事来揭示文章 主题，显示其社会意义，一般采用顺序或倒叙来叙述。 题目经常是一些细节问题。考查的方面可以是原因和其中引发的思考。阅读这类文章要理清 思路。1、浏览试题，明确要求。在阅读文章前，最好先浏览一下文章后面的题干和选项。知道了问题后再去看文章，可使思 路更敏捷，而且也便于阅读时留意文中出现的与选项有关的信息。2、通读全文，抓住主要内容。在不影响理解的前提下，尽可能地阅读以便在尽可能短的时间内理解文章或段落的内容。阅 读时，如遇到不熟悉的单词、词组或一时看不懂的句子，不要停下来苦思冥想，继续读下去, 通过上下文的词语和句子可能就理

15、解了。3、抓住中心思想和段落大意。通读全文时，要特别注意主题句。每篇文章或每个段落都有与文章有关的句子，尤其是科技、 政论性文章的主题句一般都在文章的开头或结尾，插在中间的很少。所以，文章的第一段或 开头的第一、二个句子往往包含着文章的中心思想、作者的意图或全文的概述，因此要特别 注意，彻底理解。4、有针对性地仔细阅读，找寻所需信息。在前面的基础上，可进行有针对性地阅读了。把与问题无关的内容一扫而过，而对于和问题 有关的内容认真阅读，还可以用笔在下面做出记号。再把这些信息与问题的要求结合起来, 逐条分析，综合判断，找出正确答案。5、进行合理的推理判断。对文章有了全面的了解之后，可以按照文章要求

16、以及上下文之间的关系，做出推理判断。在 进行推理判断的时候，需要综合考虑句型、语法、句子之间的逻辑关系、文化背景等方面的 因素。比如第 22 小题 Which of the following is TRUE about the experiments the scientists did, according to the scientist quoted?可知主要根据科学家的实验可得出答案，从 Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive cars ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 perce

17、nt of peopledriving more modest （不豪华的）cars.可知开好车的司机更有可能不遵守交通规则，忽视行人，故选C。6、认真复读，验证答案。要用全文的中心思想统帅各个题目，研究其内在联系和逻辑关系，并依次审核那些还未打上 的题目，确保理解无误。第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。Some effective ways to Meet New PeopleIt is universally acknowledged that first impressions matter a

18、lot. If you want to know how to meet people, just follow these steps. Live in the moment.To meet new people, the first thing you have to do is enjoy the present moment of the new conversation. Let go of your expectations and fears. 16When you approach a new person, don t ask yourself, “How do I look

19、?” or “How do I sound?” Instead, ask, uWhat would this person like to talk about?v or What matters to this person?”.17If you keep up your confidence, people feel that you re a person who is worth talking to. You shoud be confident before you walk into a room with new people in it and buiId your conf

23、sation.F. Maintaining a positive attitude will make people want to talk to you.G. Don，t nod and agree with what the person is saying every five seconds.16. D 17. A18. C 19. F 20. G【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些与新结识的人谈话时的建议。【16题详解】根据前文“Let go of your expectations and fears. ”可知，要放下你的期望和恐惧，可 推知设空句应是对“为什么放下期望和恐

24、惧”做出解释。选项D. They can prevent a conversation from unfolding smoothly.（它们能阻止谈话顺利展开。）解释了期望和恐惧 对于谈话的阻碍作用，且句中“They”与前文expectations and fearsv相呼应。故选D 项。【17题详解】设空为小标题，根据后文 “If you keep up your confidence, people feel that you re a person who is worth talking to.（如果你保持自信，人们会觉得你是一个值得交谈的 人。）”可知要保持自信，本段主题应是“自信

25、”。选项A. Stay confident.（保持自信）贴 合主题。故选A项。【18题详解】设空在段首,后文应对设空句进一步解释。根据后文uStand tall, maintain eye contact, and don t fidget with your hands or look at the floor. When you introduce yourself, speak clearly and loudly enough that you 11 be heard.（站直，保持眼神交流，不要 摆弄你的手或看着地板。当你介绍自己时，说话要清楚，声音要大，这样别人才能听到。）” 可知，

26、本段主要讲述了肢体语言在保持自信方面的重要性。选项C. Body language can help you stay confident.（肢体语言可以帮助你保持自信。）贴合主旨要义。故选C项。【19题详解】设空在小标题之后，应对其进行进一步的解释。根据小标题Be positive.可知，该部分 在讲述的主题是“积极”。选项 F. Maintaining a positive attitude will make people want to talk to you.（保持积极的态度会让人们想和你说话。）进一步解释了 “积极”的 作用。故选F项。【20题详解】根据后文举例：The occas

27、ional That s so true! v or I know exactly what you mean!” will be far more positive.（偶尔说一句“太对了！”或“我完全明白你的意 思！”会更加积极。）可知，要使交谈变得更加积极，可以说一些表述赞同的话语，因此选 项 G. Dont nod and agree with what the person is saying every five seconds.（不 要每隔五秒钟就点头同意对方说的话。）提到的“不要只是点头”与后文举例相呼应。故选 G项。七选五技巧之一代词的暗示在做七选五题目时，要注意代词。代词可能

28、会出现在空前空后句中，也有可能出现在选项中， 无论代词出现在哪，一定要清楚句中出现的人称代词是指代一个或多个名词的，它的出现是 有原因的，即有具体所指。如果代词在选项中出现，往往该选项会成为答案。比如文章的第 1小题：To meet new people, the first thing you have to do is enjoy the present moment of the new conversation. Let go of your expectations and fears. 1D. They can prevent a conversation from unfoldi

29、ng smoothly.通过分析选项可知， 选项 D. They can prevent a conversation from unfolding smoothly. 中含有代词“They”，且在句中作主语，说明前文应是新提及了某个或某些名词，而句中的 主语“They”用作指代该词，对其进一步解释。通过阅读全文分析可知，第1小题设空句前 文 “Let go of your expectations and fears. ”中的 expectations and fears” 应是“They”指代的内容，且选项D恰好解释了 “期望和恐惧”在交谈中的阻碍作用。因此D 项为第1小题的答案。第三部分
