D.Partial.【答案】8.D9.C10.A11.D【解析】【導語】本文為一篇說明文。文章介紹了對巴基斯坦最大城市卡拉奇紅樹林的保護措施。【8題詳解】細節理解題。根據第一段“ThetreescouldsavePakistan’slargestcityKarachi,sittingontheArabianSea,fromnaturaldisaster.(這些樹木可以使位于阿拉伯海的巴基斯坦最大城市卡拉奇免遭自然災害。)”可知，它們保護城市免受氣候災難。故選D。【9題詳解】推理判斷題。根據第二段“Offshore,thereareislandswheremangrovesgrow.Theycouldbethekeytoslowingclimatechange.Mangroveforestspullcarbondioxideoutoftheair,holdingfourtimesasmuchoftheplanet-warminggasasotherforestscan.Theysupportdiverseecosystems.Assealevelsrisewithglobalwarming,thetreescouldplayabigroleinprotectingcoastalcitieslikeKarachifromflooding.(在近海，有紅樹林生長的島嶼。它們可能是減緩氣候變化的關鍵。紅樹林從空氣中吸收二氧化碳，其吸收的溫室氣體是其他森林的四倍。它們支持不同的生態系統。隨著全球變暖導致海平面上升，這些樹木可以在保護卡拉奇等沿海城市免受洪水侵襲方面發揮重要作用。)”由此判斷，紅樹林科院減緩氣候變化，且能吸收很多的二氧化碳，在很多方面保護著城市，故保護紅樹林是因為它們與自然的緊密聯系。故選C。【10題詳解】細節理解題。根據第三段最后兩句“Cityofficialssaythiscouldprovidemuch-neededhousingandbringinbillionsofdollars.TheyclaimthatsomeofthatmoneycouldbeusedtoplantmangrovesinotherpartsofPakistan.(市政府官員表示，這可以提供急需的住房，并帶來數十億美元的收入。他們聲稱，其中一些錢可以用來在巴基斯坦其他地區種植紅樹林。)”可知，政府官員會在其他的地方種植紅樹林。故選A。【11題詳解】推理判斷題。根據最后一段““Only7%ofPakistan’smangrovesareinKarachi,”Haqsays.Hethinksit’swrongtofocusonthelossesin7%ofthecountrywhileignoringthesuccessin93%ofit.ButQaiserbelievesit’simportanttoprotecteverybit.(Haq說：“巴基斯坦只有7%的紅樹林在卡拉奇。”他認為關注全國7%的損失而忽視93％的成功是錯誤的。但是Qaiser認為保護每一處都很重要。)”可知，Haq認為不能只關注到失敗的而不關注成功的方面，但Qaiser認為就算是再小的區域都要兼顧到，因此Haq認為Qaiser對于卡拉奇紅樹林工作成果的想法的認識是片面的，不全面的。故選D。DIt’swell-knownthathumorcanbenefitusbothphysicallyandmentally.Theideathatlaughteristhebestmedicinehasbeenaroundsinceancienttimes.Inhis1905book,JokesandTheirRelationtotheUnconscious,SigmundFreudarguedthathumoristhehighestofthepsyche’sdefensemechanism(機制),capableofturninganxietyintopleasure.Therearefourhumorstyles.Affiliativehumorreferstojokesaboutthingsthatmightbecommonlyconsideredfunny,whichisusuallyemployedtoimproverelationshipsormakeotherslaugh.Ifyou’veeversharedafunnypicturewithacoworker,you’veusedaffiliativehumor.Self-enhancinghumorinvolvesbeingabletolaughatyourself,oftenusedasawayforyoutodealwithstressordifficultiesandfeelbetterasaresult.Aggressivehumorislaughingattheexpenseofothers,whichofteninvolvessarcasm(諷刺),teasing,andcriticism.Self-defeatinghumoristheartofputtingyourselfdowntogainfavorfromyourpeers,whichispossiblyusedbysomeonewho’stargetedbybullies.Eachstyleofhumoractuallycarriesadifferentinfluence,whenitcomestomentalhealth.JulieAitkenSchermer,apsychologicalresearcheratTheUniversityofWesternOntario,sayspeopleusingself-enhancinghumorarelesslikelytoshowsignsoflonelinessandpoorrelationshipswithothers.Bycontrast,bothaggressiveandself-defeatinghumorstylescanhintattrouble.“Wefindthatself-defeatinghumoristhemostconcerningstyleasitisalsolinkedwithlonelinessandfeelingsofnotmattering.Thosewithanaggressivehumorstylemaynotexperiencelonelinessasmuch,however,sincetheyrelyongroupdynamics(群體動力)inordertomakefunoftheirpeers,”saysSchermer.Evenifyoutendtofavormorenegativehumorstyles,there’snoreasontoloseheart.Schermersayspeoplecandevelopapositive,self-enhancinghumorstylebyconcentratingonthelighterandmorehumorousaspectsoflife.AsauthorKurtVonnegutoncewrote,“Laughterandtearsarebothresponsestoworriesandanxieties.Iprefertolaugh,sincethereislesscleaninguptodoafterward.”12.WhyisSigmundFreud’sbookmentionedinParagraph1?A.Toshowtheimportanceofmentalhealth.

D.Laughteristhebestcureforstress.【答案】12.B13.B14.A15.D【解析】【導語】本文是一篇說明文。文章通過一本書——JokesandTheirRelationtotheUnconscious，介紹了四種不同的幽默類型。【12題詳解】推理判斷題。根據第一段“It’swell-knownthathumorcanbenefitusbothphysicallyandmentally.Theideathatlaughteristhebestmedicinehasbeenaroundsinceancienttimes.Inhis1905book,JokesandTheirRelationtotheUnconscious,SigmundFreudarguedthathumoristhehighestofthepsyche’sdefensemechanism(機制),capableofturninganxietyintopleasure.(眾所周知，幽默對我們的身心都有好處。笑是最好的良藥這一觀點自古以來就存在。西格蒙德·弗洛伊德在他1905年出版的《笑話及其與無意識的關系》一書中認為，幽默是心靈的最高防御機制，能夠將焦慮轉化為快樂)”可知，第一段提到這本書是為了強調幽默的作用。故選B。【13題詳解】細節理解題。根據第二段“Self-enhancinghumorinvolvesbeingabletolaughatyourself,oftenusedasawayforyoutodealwithstressordifficultiesandfeelbetterasaresult.(自我提升的幽默包括能夠自嘲，通常是你處理壓力或困難的一種方式，結果感覺更好)”可知，用于緩解壓力的是自我提升式幽默，故選B。【14題詳解】詞句猜測題。根據劃線詞上文“JulieAitkenSchermer,apsychologicalresearcheratTheUniversityofWesternOntario,sayspeopleusingself-enhancinghumorarelesslikelytoshowsignsoflonelinessandpoorrelationshipswithothers.(西安大略大學的心理學研究員JulieAitkenSchermer說，使用自我提升式幽默的人不太可能表現出孤獨和與他人關系不佳的跡象)”以及“Bycontrast,bothaggressiveandself-defeatinghumorstyles”可知，使用自我提升式幽默的人不太可能表現出孤獨和與他人關系不好的跡象。相比之下，攻擊性和自我挫敗的幽默風格都可能暗示出麻煩，故劃線詞意思是“暗示”。故選A。【15題詳解】推理判斷題。根據第四段“Laughterandtearsarebothresponsestoworriesandanxieties.Iprefertolaugh,sincethereislesscleaninguptodoafterward.(笑和哭都是對擔心和焦慮的反應。我更喜歡笑，因為笑完之后要做的清理工作少了)”可知，KurtVonnegut更喜歡笑，可得出他可能同意“笑是治療壓力的最好方法”這一觀點。故選D。第二節（共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。Humanitiesdepartments(人文院系)inAmericaareonceagainbeingcutdown.Earlierthismonth,theStateUniversityofNewYork(SUNY)StonyBrookannouncedaplantoabandonseveralofthecollege’swell-knowndepartmentsforlackoffund.TheUniversityofPittsburghhascutitsGermanandclassics.____16____IntheUK,MiddlesexUniversitydecidedtograduallygetridofphilosophydepartment.InJune2015,theJapaneseministerofeducationsentalettertothepresidentsofthenationaluniversitiesofJapan,suggestingtheyclosetheirgraduateandundergraduatedepartmentsinthehumanitiesandsocialsciencesandfocusonsomethingmorepractical.Thesearehardtimes.InsteadofShakespeareorFrench,therewillbe(perhapstherealreadyare)collegeclassesinhowtocutcorporatespending.____17____Buttheonlyopportunityhasbeenlostiftheyaredeniedtheopportunitytostudyforeignlanguages,theclassics,literature,philosophy,music,theaterandartintheuniversity.Whenelseintheirbusyliveswilltheygetthatchance?___18___.Essaysexplainwhyweneedthesesubjects,andwhattheirlosswillmean.Theseareasoflearningprovideuswiththeabilitytothinkcriticallyandindependently;toseebothsidesofanissue;tolookbeneaththesurfaceofwhatwearebeingtold;toappreciatethewaysinwhichlanguagecanhelpusunderstandoneanothermoreclearly.Idon’tbelievethatthehumanitiescanmakeyouadecentperson.___19___.Studyingphilosophyteachesusaboutthosewhohavegonebeforeus.Aforeignlanguagebringsusclosertothosewithwhomwesharetheplanet.Thehumanitiestouchthoseaspectsofawarenessthatwecallintellectandheart.____20____A.ThesesubjectsareunderattackB.StudentsneedpracticalskillstofindjobsC.DefensesofthehumanitieshaveappearedD.ThisproblemhasalsoariseninternationallyE.Therefore,coursesinthehumanitiesarebeneficialF.IthelpsuslearnhowtothinkandliveinaharmonioussocietyG.Buttheycanexpandoursenseofwhathumanscanaccomplishandcreate【答案】16.D17.B18.C19.G20.E【解析】【導語】本文是一篇新聞報道。文章主要說明了因為經費不足，美國的部分大學正準備削減人文學科，且這個問題在國際上也出現了。【16題詳解】根據上文“Earlierthismonth,theStateUniversityofNewYork(SUNY)StonyBrookannouncedaplantoabandonseveralofthecollege’swell-knowndepartmentsforlackoffund.TheUniversityofPittsburghhascutitsGermanandclassics.(本月早些時候，紐約州立大學石溪分校(SUNY)宣布了一項計劃，由于缺乏資金，該校將放棄幾個知名院系。匹茲堡大學削減了德語和古典文學課程)”；下文“IntheUK,MiddlesexUniversitydecidedtograduallygetridofphilosophydepartment.(在英國，米德爾塞克斯大學決定逐步取消哲學系)”以及“InJune2015,theJapaneseministerofeducationsentalettertothepresidentsofthenationaluniversitiesofJapan,suggestingtheyclosetheirgraduateandundergraduatedepartmentsinthehumanitiesandsocialsciencesandfocusonsomethingmorepractical.(2015年6月，日本文部科學大臣致信日本國立大學校長，建議他們關閉人文社會科學的研究生和本科院系，專注于更實用的學科)”可知，后文提到了英國和日本都有關閉哲學和人文社會科學的舉措，說明這個問題在國際上也出現了。故D選項“這個問題在國際上也出現了”承上啟下，符合語境。故選D。【17題詳解】根據上文“InsteadofShakespeareorFrench,therewillbe(perhapstherealreadyare)collegeclassesinhowtocutcorporatespending.(大學將開設（或許已經開設）如何削減企業開支的課程，而不是莎士比亞或法語)”可知，上文提到了將開設如何削減企業開支的課程，說明更加注重實用技能了。故B項“學生需要實用技能來找工作”符合語境。故選B。【18題詳解】根據下文“Essaysexplainwhyweneedthesesubjects,andwhattheirlosswillmean.Theseareasoflearningprovideuswiththeabilitytothinkcriticallyandindependently;toseebothsidesofanissue;tolookbeneaththesurfaceofwhatwearebeingtold;toappreciatethewaysinwhichlanguagecanhelpusunderstandoneanothermoreclearly.(文章解釋了我們為什么需要這些學科，以及它們的消失意味著什么。這些領域的學習為我們提供了批判性和獨立思考的能力；看到一個問題的正反兩面;透過我們被告知的事情的表面看下去；欣賞語言幫助我們更清楚地相互理解的方式)”可知，本段的主旨是反對取消人文學科。C項“對人文學科的辯護出現了”引出下文，符合語境。故選C。【19題詳解】根據上文“Idon’tbelievethatthehumanitiescanmakeyouadecentperson.(我不認為人文學科可以讓你成為一個體面的人)”以及后文“Studyingphilosophyteachesusaboutthosewhohavegonebeforeus.(學習哲學能讓我們了解前人)”可知，本句與上文構成轉折，進一步說明作者對于人文學科的看法，故G項“但它們可以擴展我們對人類所能完成和創造的東西的認識”承上啟下，符合語境。故選G。【20題詳解】根據上文“Studyingphilosophyteach-esusaboutthosewhohavegonebeforeus.Aforeignlanguagebringsusclosertothosewithwhomwesharetheplanet.Thehumanitiescantouchthoseaspectsofawarenessthatwecallintellectandheart.(學習哲學可以讓我們了解前人；學習外語使我們更接近與我們共同生活在同一星球上的人；學習人文學科可以觸及我們稱之為智力和心靈的意識領域。)”可知，本句與上文構成因果關系，總結學習人文學科是有益的。故E項“因此，人文學科的課程是有益的”符合語境。故選E。第三部分語言運用（共兩節，滿分30分）第一節（共15小題；每小題1分，滿分15分）閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。AttheschoolArtFestival,Iwasaskedtodesignthecostumesforthreeschoolplays.Everyonewas____21____toseetheactorswearmycostumesonstage.ThisexperiencehasmademerealizethatIamreallygoodat___22___andhaveatalentforfashiondesign,whichhasinspiredmeto____23____fashiondesignasmyjob.Thatway,Ican___24___workwithmyinterestsandstrengths.Tofindouthowto___25___thefieldoffashiondesign,Ididsome___26___aboutwhatkindofeducationandskillsImightneed.I____27____thatmanypremierfashiondesignersstudiedatfashiondesigninstitutesinLondon,ParisorMilan.Ialsokeepa(n)____28____onjobadsforthefashionindustrytoseewhatabilitiesor___29___designersshouldhave.Aftermuchthought,Idecidedto____30____theseskillsandgettherightqualificationsbystudyingartatuniversity.WhileIamthere,Iwouldliketoworkpart-timeforafashiondesigncompanyinorderto____31____fromotherdesigners.Actually,Idon’thavetowaituntilIgotouniversitytoswinginto____32____astherewillbeaworkshopinmycitynextmonthwhichIamhopingto____33____Aftergraduation,Iwill___34___ajobasafashiondesigner.Oneday,Ihopetostartmyown____35____company.21.A.determined
