Is Multitasking Always Good?
Not only do smartphones provide unrestricted access to information, they provide perfect opportunities to multitask. Any activity can be accompanied by music, selfies or social media updates. Of course, some people pick poor times to tweet or text, and lawmakers have stepped in. (67)________ In Honolulu, it's illegal to text or even look at your phone while crossing the street, and in the Netherlands they've banned texting while biking.
(68)________ You need to self-regulate. Understanding how the brain multitasks and why we find multitasking so appealing will help you realize the danger of pulling out your phone.
Multitasking feels like doing two things at the same time, so it seems the danger lies in asking one mental process to do two unrelated things— for texting drivers, watching the screen and the road.
Twenty states have instituted bans on driving using a hand-held phone while still allowing hands-free calls. Yet hands-free or hand-held makes no difference. (69)________ The real problem is the switch of attention between the conversation and the road, and that affects performance.
People sense this, and when on the phone they drive slower and increase their following distance, but they are far too confident that these measures reduce risks. This overconfidence extends to other activities.
A 2015 survey showed that a majority of students who use social media, text or watch TV while studying think that they can still comprehend the material they're studying.
People don't multitask merely because they see no harm in it; they see benefits. (70)_________ Most people will still choose to multitask. But they should, at the very least, be fully aware of how that choice
affects them and the potential consequences for themselves and others They need to pay attention to how much— or how little—they are paying attention.

Sustainable Transport in Cities
Transport has always shaped cities. In Medieval times crossroads gave birth to blooming market towns. Many North American cities were created for the car. But how are the cities of today being shaped by a need for more sustainable transport?
Many local governments are speeding up change through policy initiatives such as joined transport, congestion charges and low emission zones, sustainable gaining and lifecycle costing, and opening data up to companies and academics. And these city level policies can move markets in more sustainable directions. ___67___ This has resulted in five vehicle manufacturers committing to meeting that deadline, which is both in their own commercial interests and good for the environment.
The least dense cities, for example, Houston, have per capita(人均的) carbon emissions nearly ten times higher than the densest, such as Singapore. ___68___ This involves gathering mixed use developments around a key transport center, as with the KL Central area in Kuala Lumpur, built around the largest railway station in Southeast Asia.
___69___ Others are using motivations and behavioural change to encourage people to choose more efficient―and often healthier―forms of transport. Copenhagen has a number of progressive cycling policies including the Green Wave, which allows people cycling at 20km/h to hit all green lights during rush hour.
Light weighting and new engine and fuel technologies are helping to make existing road and rail vehicles more efficient. ___70___ The main options are hydrogen fuel cells, fossil fuel hybrids, and electric vehicles, and the best solution may well vary from city to city.
【答案】67D, 68E, 69F, 70B
【解析】
67.抓住空格后This has resulted in five vehicle manufacturers committing to meeting that deadline中的that deadline，选入的选项中应该有表示最后期限的信息。通过比较，只有D选项中的from 2018表示时间的信息，因此本题选D.
68.根据空格后This involves gathering mixed use developments around a key transport center这句句子，要有一个选项能够代表这句句子中的this，this应该是一个措施。再结合上句说到人均碳排放密度，因此本题选E
69.抓住空格后others这个关键词，填入空格内的应该是一部分。再结合句意，F选项中的
some cities与之对应。
70.根据空格后面the best solution may well vary from city to city可知，说到与每个城市有关的内容，而且每个城市是有所不同的。再结合fuel technologies这些关键词可知，本题选B

The Ban on Trading Ivory(象牙) is Unfair but Necessary
As in some countries elephant population have recovered, there are competing proposals about how absolute the ban on elephant trading should be. Countries seeking a modest relaxation have a strong case to make. But it is not strong enough. The ban must stay.
Understandably, countries that have done a good job protecting their elephants feel this is unfair.
(67)__________________. And the real burden of all this is borne by poor local people who are in competition with wildlife for resources, and sometimes in conflict with it—elephants can be destructive. People and governments, so the argument goes, need to have an economic stake (利害关系) in the elephants’ survival. The ivory trade would give them one.
To understand why these reasonable-sounding proposals should be rejected, consider what has happened to elephant numbers since some legal trade was authorised, when Botswana, Namibia and South Africa were allowed in 2007 to sell a fixed amount of ivory to Japan. (68)__________________. A survey conducted in 2014-15 estimated that elephant numbers had fallen by 30% across 18 countries since 2007.
(69)__________________. In better-resourced national parks, drones are used to make it easier for park keepers to spot illegal hunters. DNA testing of ivory can identify where they came from, and thus whether they are legal. As prices of the technologies fall and countries get richer, both technologies are likely to spread.
The objection to trade in products of endangered species is not moral. When the world is confident that it will boost elephant numbers rather than wipe them out, the ivory trade should be encouraged.
(70)__________________. And until it does, the best hope for the elephant—and even more endangered species, such as rhinos (犀牛)—lies not in easing the ban on trading their products, but in enforcing it better. 【答案】67 D, 68 B, 69 E, 70 A
【解析】
67. 根据本段第一句可得，本段在论述为何一些国家会觉得保护大象保护措施不公平。由此句以及下文的And可得，此处应当是表示原因，故选D，他们在保护大象方面牺牲了很多。（因此想要在象牙贸易身上得到一些补偿）
68. 通读本段可得，本段主要论述为何这些倡议会被拒绝。根据横线后句意可得，大象的数量自从2007年开始急剧下降，因此此句应是B，接着引领下文,即大象的数量会下降。
69. 根据下文一整段可得，科技对防止非法狩猎大象起到了很好的保护作用。所以，段首句应选总领全文的句子，故选E。
70. 根据段首第一句可得，反对濒危物种产品贸易不是道义上的，而是务实的。当世界相信鼓励象牙贸易会增加大象数量时应当鼓励贸易。下文话锋一转，大象等动物仍然需要执行禁令，可得，这一天仍未到来，故选A。

South Africa still has a long way to go on the right to food
Fifty-four percent of South Africans are hungry or at risk of hungry. Hunger affects people’s health, as well as their ability to live full and productive lives because the rights to dignity, health and education are affected by hunger.
______67_____ There are significant race, class and gender differences. For example, black South Africans are 22 times more likely to be food insecure compared with white South Africans. Food insecurity is defined as not having physical, social and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food that meets dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life.
This unequal distribution indicates a situation of severe food injustice in South Africa. Yet from the research with urban farmers it’s clear that people do not know of the right to food, and don’t see unequal
access to nutritious food as an injustice. ______68_____While there are frequent protests around access to jobs, education, housing, water and electricity, we rarely, if ever, see protests about access to food.
One of the drivers of unequal access to food is the way in which the industrial food system works. For example, a few large companies dominate each aspect of the food value chain. ______69_____ Because the large companies dominate the supply chain, they are able to maximize profits at the expense of small-scale producers, to whom they pay very low prices.
______70_____It needs to ensure that marginalized producers, processors and retailers have an opportunity to earn a decent living. At the same time corporate dominance needs to be addressed.
Anyway, at the most basic level, it requires that South Africans know they have a right to food in the first place.

67.由第一段得知饥饿导致南非洲人一些不好的发展，第二段讲到名族，种族以及颜色的不同，以及此空处于承上启下的作用。以及举例子说南非黑人和白人的对比。E句就是承上启下的句子，同时也是该段的总起句。
68.由前面的描述中得出总结，这种分配不均表明南非出现了严重的粮食不公状况。然而，从对城市农民的研究中可以清楚地看到，人们不知道食物权，也不认为获得营养食品的不平等是不公平的。所以总结出：因此，南非政治中基本上没有饥饿问题。
79.由前面的句意：获取粮食不平等的一个驱动因素是工业粮食系统的运作方式。例如，一些大公司主导了食品价值链的各个方面。那么对于这意味着规模较小的生产商、加工商和零售商被挤出市场。属于前后句的连接和解释说明。
70由句意：.它需要确保边缘化的生产商、加工商和零售商有机会过上体面的生活。同时，公司的主导地位需要得到解决。接下来就是对这一问题的具体解决方案。处理食品不公需要改变食品体系的不良结构

Essential Creativity
In a recent survey in America, 62% of people said that creativity was more important to success in the workplace than they had anticipated it would be when they were in school.
(67) _____________ It is of course possible to scan people’s brains and see which parts are firing when an idea is created, but rather more romantically it can be thought of as something that cannot be identified. Creativity is what comes to you when you least expect it. You cannot demand creativity from your mind, nor can you demand that you are creative in a particular way.
One misconception about creativity is that it is reserved for a few special people. This is not true. (68) _____________ Another misconception is that creativity is all about the arts but this simply isn’t true: creativity extends to maths and science in just the way it does to music and literature.
Those who see things differently to others and are confident enough to make their ideas a reality are the ones who make the greatest changes in the world. Consequently, it is incredibly important that schools do not prevent creativity. (69) ________________ Students should be taught to ask questions and investigate when things do not make sense. They need to learn to view mistakes as opportunities for learning rather than something that was unsuccessful.
It is worrying that many schools are less concerned now with nurturing creativity when this is the most important time in history for it. It used to be that people worked hard, went to university, and got a job. That was it. But now, everyone works hard, goes to university — and there aren’t the jobs out there that guarantee a safe future. (70) ________________ We can use it to set ourselves apart, and channel it to face the challenges of the future.
【答案】67E, 68F, 69B,70C
【解析】
67.第一段将创造力的重要性，空格后面讲的是：当然，当一个想法被创造出来的时候，我们可以扫描人们的大脑，看看哪些部分正在被激发，但更浪漫的是，它可以被认为是无法识别的东西。创造力是你最意想不到的东西。你不能要求你的头脑有创造力，也不能要求你以一种特殊的方式有创造
力。此处缺的是创造力来源。
68.前半句：关于创造力的一个误解是，它是留给少数特殊的人的。这不是真的。换句话就是每个人都可以有创造力。
69.前半段讲的是：那些对事物的看法与别人不同，并且有足够的信心使自己的想法成为现实的人，是那些在世界上做出最大改变的人。因此，学校不阻止创造力是极其重要的。那后面应该讲的是正确的方式，才符合逻辑。
70.前半段讲的是：令人担忧的是，许多学校现在不太关心培养创造力，因为这是历史上最重要的时刻。过去人们工作很努力，上了大学，找到了一份工作。就这样。但是现在，每个人都努力工作，上大学，而且没有工作能保证未来的安全。那么接下来会发生的是：没有创造力，我们就和群众没有区别。对于前后的因为关系的展现。

Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question: "Should I jump? " This is what motivation or the lack of it can do. Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of the same coin. (67)__________ Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided.
(68)___________More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal? First, you need to evaluate yourself, your values your strengths, your weaknesses, your achievements, your desires, etc. Only then should you set your goals.
You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation. This is quite important, because it is directly related to your commitment. There are times when your heart is not in your work. (69)__________
So, slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment. Clarity(清晰)of thoughts can help you move forward.
Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives, keeping in mind your beliefs, values and strengths. Remember that goals are flexible. They can change according to circumstances. They also need to be measurable. You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.
Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a Pilot but can’t become one because your eyesight is not good enough.(70)__________ You should reassess your goals, and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.
You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned. You cannot overcome them without ample motivation. Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals.
【答案】67E, 68B, 69A, 70C
【解析】
67.空白处前一句Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of the same coin（动机和目标设定是同一个硬币的两面），表明了动机和设定目标的关系为：紧密相连。空格后一句Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided（“像跳板上拿不定主意的孩子一样”），显然，空格前后都在阐述动机与目标设定之间的关系.
68. 空格为段首句空格。根据上一段阐述了动机和设定目标的关系强调了动机的重要性，及后面暗示词“that”及语义可知，本段与上一段相关，进一步阐述动机和设定目标的关系，激励自己并保持动力来实现目标。而B项So how should you motivate yourself?以问句的形式，起了过渡句的作用：承上启下。
69. 空白处前一句There are times when your heart is not in your work（有时你的心不在工作中），这当然会影响你的工作（A的语义）。同时，So, slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment所以，放慢脚步，想想你此刻真正想做什么）.这与A项构成因果性逻辑关系。
70. 空白前Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a Pilot but can’t become one because your eyesight is not good enough（主要阐述了个人情况对目标的影响，比如视力不好决定了你当不了飞行员）.空格之后，语义为：你应该重新评估你的目标，并激励自己去设定一个新的目标。C项However this should not discourage you起到承上启下的作用，符合上下语境。

The price of a piece of history
A fresh lemon can be purchased for less than $1. But in 2008, Cowan's Auctions in Cincinnati sold a lemon blackened with age for $2,350.
What was so special about this lemon?____67_______ According to a handwritten note in ink attached to a partly sealed bottle containing the lemon, the fruit was picked in May 1842 by Washington's "old gardener" some 43 years after the first president's death
Two thousand dollars is a lot to pay for produce, even from the estate of a founding father. This sale, however, just might be considered a bargain compared with prices paid for other historical collectibles in recent years. ____68______
Collecting a piece of history, or an object associated with a famous person, is not brand new. Ordinary objects with extraordinary stories have increasingly been coming to auction and achieving high prices, says Thomas Venning, director of Christie's department of books and manuscripts in London. Prices are being driven up, he says, by collectors in the U.S. and, increasingly, in Asia. The Hawking wheelchair, for example, was purchased by a private museum in China.
____69______ For one thing, their history of ownership is both crucial and sometimes difficult to prove. Photographs of the famous person with the object, as well as documentation (such as letters, diaries or recollections by acquaintances referring to the object) can also help. ______70_______ To evaluate the value of a Picasso painting, one can look at recent prices paid for other Picasso paintings of the same period,
similar size or style. Finding another recent sale of a lemon planted by George Washington is a different matter.
Katie Horstman, head of Cowan's American History department, says she could find no comparable items for the lemon as she prepared the piece for its auction. Ms. Horstman nevertheless eventually arrived at the estimated value at $3,000 to $4,000, she says, by researching auction records for objects somehow associated with Washington that had appeared on the market.
Cowans ended up estimating the value of the lemon at $3,000 to $4,000, according to description on its website. Objects associated with Washington these days, Ms. Horstman says, can sell for anywhere from 1,000 up to tens of thousands of dollars.

69.此句是总起句如何证明并不容易，后面讲到：一方面，它们的所有权历史既至关重要，有时也难以证明。名人与物品的照片以及文件（如信件、日记或熟人提及物品的回忆）也有帮助。这个是总分的关系。
70.紧接着前面的评估难处，此处应该是跟前一句并列关系，补充说明:其中许多对象的独特性使对它们进行估价的工作更加复杂。后面讲到：要评估毕加索画作的价值，可以看看其他同时期、相似大小或风格的毕加索画作最近的价格。另一个最近出售的由乔治华盛顿种植的柠檬则是另一回事。就是举例来说明。

Search for a Human Face for Robots
Looking for a $130,000 payday? Geomiq, a British engineering and manufacturing firm is searching for a “kind and friendly” face to be the face of a robot once it goes into production. “This will entail (需要) the selected person’s face being reproduced on potentially thousands of versions of the robots worldwide,” Geomiq says in a blog post about the project.
Robots have been at the forefront of technology for decades, and are widely considered the future of our technological advancement. With the number of adults over 85 expected to triple by 2050, according to some estimates, robots designed to keep the elderly company are becoming increasingly common.(67) __________________ They do things like responding to voice commands, offering proactive (积极主动的) notifications and advice and letting relatives monitor conditions at home. There is still a long way to go but new robotic products are coming into fruition all the time. Geomiq says the robot line has been in the works for five years and will result in a companion for seniors.
The designer has noted in an interview with a select press pool that they can’t release too many details at this stage.(68) __________________The designer has also stressed that unsuccessful candidates will not be contacted. The company says the need for anonymity (匿名) is due to the secretive nature of the project. However, it believes the robot will soon be “readily available” to the public and hopes the campaign will create extra buzz ahead of its eventual release. “We know that this is an extremely unique request, and signing over the licenses to your face is potentially an extremely big decision,” Geomiq said.
(69) __________________ The designer has said that the project has been in development for five years, and in that time frame taken on investment from some independent venture capitals as well as a top fund based in Shanghai. The company says the robots’ purpose will be to act as a “virtual friend” for elderly people and is set to go into production next year.
The blog post doesn’t share age or gender parameters (参数). (70) __________________ Candidates who make it to the next phase will get full details on the project. “The secrecy, ” Geomiq says, “is due to a non-disclosure agreement it’s signed with the robot’s designer and investors.”

68.前一句讲到：设计师在接受一家精选媒体采访时指出，目前阶段他们不能发布太多细节。后面有提到他们的不成功，所以此处应该是转折关系。
69.后面提到：设计师说，该项目已经开发了五年，在这个时间框架内，一些独立的风险投资机构以及一家总部位于上海的顶级基金都进行了投资。该公司表示，这些机器人的目的是充当老年人的“虚拟朋友”，并将于明年投入生产。此处应该是总起句：这家公司是私人投资的。

Growing Food from Air in Nigeria
A group of farmers in Nigeria is using a technology-based method to grow crops from mist (水汽) in the air. The method, known as aeroponics, does not involve soil. Instead, plant roots hang in the air. The roots take in nutrients from a watery mist.
Aeroponics is not well-known in Nigeria, but farmers there are working to make the technique more popular. 67
Biochemist Samson Ogbole is popularly known as Nigeria’s smart farmer. He and his team are growing crops without soil at the technology-based farm they started three years ago in Abeokuta. Ogbole says they
are on a campaign to end seasonal food scarcity in Nigeria. “Because we are the ones controlling everything that the plant requires, we are not depending o n seasons. So it’s no longer seasonal farming. It is just farming anytime of the year, meaning we can plant anytime of the year, and we can harvest anytime of the year.”
68 It required financing of more than $180,000. And some people in Abeokuta were very much against this non-traditional method of farming. It took a lot of effort to change people’s minds about aeroponics.
In Nigeria, about 30 million hectares (公顷) of farmland is being used, instead of the 78.5 million hectares required for food security. In the north, only 49 percent of the land is fertile, a situation that worries traditional farmers. 69 Nutrients for the plants are controlled by a recycling system, greatly increasing productivity.
Philip Ojo is director general of Nigeria’s National Agricultural Seeds Council. He says the government welcomes new farming methods. Ojo noted that with aeroponics, farmers can quickly increase planting materials. So, his group strongly supports the technology.
The agricultural industry represent s about 40 percent of Nigeria’s economy. 70 For now, most farmers lack the technical knowledge to increase productivity. They also need access to high-quality seeds to guarantee better harvests. Technologically skilled farmers like Samson Ogbole are offering a new way forward.

【解析】
67.空格位于段末，是对本段的总结。但是注意在本段中有一个转折but，前面说空气培养法是不出名的，但是农民们在努力使它更受欢迎，原因在于它能够在大量不能耕种的土壤中起巨大作用。所以答案选F。
68.空格位于段首，是本段的中心句，是主体所在。本段主要讲了发展空气培养法需要多少钱，很多人反对，改变人们的想法需要很大的努力，很不容易，所以对此进行归纳，答案选A。
69，空格位于句中，是起承上启下的作用。前面说到只有49%的土壤是肥沃的，后面说到植物的营养物质都被循环系统控制起来好好利用增加了生产率，所以归功于空气培养法，不需要土壤，只需要营养物就可以了。答案选D。
70.空格谓语句中，是起承上启下的作用。在前文中提到了农业在经济中的比例占40%，所以政府要增大比率，而现在农民们缺少技术和种子。答案选B，所提到的比率和前面一句衔接恰当。

Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A.If the intellectual worth of a college degree can be accurately measured, more people will seek higher
education―and come out better thinkers.
B.Two years before, a nationwide study of college graduates had shown that more than a third had made no
significant gains in such mental abilities during their school years.
C.Despite the success of the experiment, the actual results are frustrating, and mostly confirm earlier studies.
D.Many can’t reason clearly or perform competently in analyzing complex, non-technical problems.
E.Yet like many college teachers in the U.S., the professors remain doubtful that their work as educators can be
measured by a “learning outcome” such as a graduate’s ability to investigate and reason.
F.It is important to identify the common goals of general higher education and translate them into the design of
the learning outcomes assessment.
How Colleges Can Me asure Up in Teaching “CriticalThinking”
After becoming president of Purdue University in 2013, Mitch Daniels asked the teaching staff
to prove that their students have actually achieved one of higher education’s most important goals:
critical thinking skills.(67) Mr. Daniels needed to justify the high cost of attending
Purdue to its students and their families. After all, the percentage of Americans who say a college
degree is “very important” has fallen dramatically in the last 5-6 years.
Purdue now has a pilot test to assess students’ critical thinking skills. (68)However,
they need not worry so much. The results of a recent experiment showed that professors could use standard grading scale to measure how well students did in three key areas: critical thinking, written communication and language literacy.
(69) The organizers of the experiment concluded that far fewer students were achieving at high levels on critical thinking than they were doing for written communication or language literacy. And that conclusion is based only on students nearing graduation.
American universities, despite their global reputation for excellence in teaching, have only
begun to demonstrate what they can produce in real-world learning. Knowledge-based degrees are
still important, but employers are demanding advanced thinking skills from college graduates. (70)
【答案】67B, 68E, 69C, 70A
【解析】
67.根据上下文，上文“critical thinking s”和选项B中such mental abilities during their school years.(在校期间的这种能力)相呼应。
68. 根据上下文，选项中E中t he professors remain doubtful that …(教授依旧怀疑其作为教育者的工作能否被“学习结构”测量)和下文的However, they need not worry so much.（然而，他们不必担忧），意思前后连贯。
69. 根据上下文，选项C的意思是虽然试验成功，但事实结果令人受挫，和后文far fewer students were achieving at high levels on critical thinking（很少学生获得较高水平的批评思维能力）
70. 该题干扰选项为F，但是根据上文和文章的主题，选项A more people will seek higher education―and come out better thinkers（更多的人会寻求高等教育并且会出现更高水平）和上文employers are demanding advanced thinking skills from college graduates（雇主正要求大学毕业生拥有高级思考能力）相呼应。

The Fullness of Time
Most of us think we have very little time, but the truth is we actually have a lot - on average, five hours 49 minutes each day, which means we typically have somewhere between 36 and 40 hours available to be spent every week however we want. So why don’t we feel time - rich? (67) _______ One is that we earn more, so time feels more expensive. Then there’s the way we’ve come to see busyness as a status symbol: important people are busy, so we want to be busy, too. Add to that the flood of incoming emails and texts, along with the endless ocean of possibilities, and it’s easy to see where time goes.
A second factor is the comparison we make between what we can do and what others are doing, making us anxious. (68) _______ This fools us into thinking we’re being more productive with our work time, so we try to do it with our leisure time, too. When we’re playing with out kids, we check Facebook. When we’re hanging out with one group of friends, we post pictures to show another. This is something sociologists call ‘polluted time’.
We’re also addicted to our devices. In 2007, the amount of leisure time we spent on devices like smart-phones could be measured in minutes. Now, we spend on average 3.5 hours a day online.(69) _______ You might be wondering why you need help deciding how to spend your free time -- after all you know the sort of things you enjoy, so what could be so difficult? Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi has a surprising opinion on it. “The popular assumption is that no skills are involved in enjoying free time, anybody can do it. Yet the evidence suggests the opposite; free time is more difficult to enjoy than work.” Worryingly, scientists have found that people are often no happier after a holiday than if they’d never taken one. (70) ______The question still remains unsettled.

When he rolls into a gas station to fill his tank, Barkhad Dahir doesn’t get out of his car. He pushes a few buttons on his cellphone and within seconds he has paid for the fuel. With the same quick pushes on his phone he pays for almost everything he needs.
Electronic payments offer consumers convenience, provide profits for banks, credit card companies and payment processors and offer merchants improved cash flow and convenience. “I haven’t seen cash for a long time. Almost every merchant even hawker (小贩) on the street accepts payment by cellphone. (67) __________” says Adan Abokora, a democracy activist.
Purchases are made by dialing a three-digit number, entering a four-digit PIN and then entering the retailer’s payment number and the amount of money. Both customers and merchants receive text messages to confirm the payment.(68) __________ For instance, the printing and handling of money is expensive. Cash payments can be anonymous (匿名的) and it is hard to track criminal activities conducted in secret. Many governments favor reducing cash dealings in order to better monitor and understand the activities of their citizens. The Swedish government has been discussing the removing of cash since 2010.
(69) __________ Do they choose to rob? Do they sit at home and wait? What happens to people who rely on their cellphones to process money dealings when cell service and the Internet are interrupted? A world affected by terrorism and increasingly violent weather may not yet be ready to abandon currency.”
Other people fear that electronic payments may create security risks and enable dealings to be tracked and reported. (70) __________ New technologies which balance and address these factors may enable people to remove cash.
【答案】67 A, 68D, 69E, 70F
【解析】
67. 由空格前I haven’t seen cash for a long time. Almost every merchant even hawker (小贩) on the street accepts payment by cellphone得知：我已经很长时间没有看到现金了。几乎每一个商人,甚至小贩在街上,都会接受付款的手机。这句话充分说明了手机支付的便利。所以空格处也是对它的优点的描述，所以应选答案A。
68.由空格后For instance, the printing and handling of money is expensive. Cash payments can be
anonymous (匿名的) and it is hard to track criminal activities conducted in secret. Many governments favor reducing cash dealings in order to better monitor and understand the activities of their citizens. The Swedish government has been discussing the removing of cash since 2010.得知：印刷和处理货币是昂贵的，现金支付可以匿名进行，难以跟踪犯罪活动的秘密进行。许多政府倾向于减少现金交易，以便更好地监控和了解公民的活动。瑞典政府自2010年以来一直在讨论撤资问题。由此可见是在描述清理现金支付的好处，所以应选答案D。
69.上一段的内容主要是说手机支付和清除现金的优点。而根据空格后面内容Do they choose to rob? Do they sit at home and wait? What happens to people who rely on their cellphones to process money dealings when cell service and the Internet are interrupted? A world affected by terrorism and increasingly violent weather may not yet be ready to abandon currency.” 得知：人们在质疑当电源被切断时候，用手机支付的人该如果去面对，所以应选答案E。
70.由空格前的内容Other people fear that electronic payments may create security risks and enable dealings to be tracked and reported. 得知：另一些人则担心电子支付可能会带来安全和欺诈风险，使交易能够被跟踪和报告。由空格后New technologies which balance and address these factors may enable people to remove cash.得知：平衡和解决这些因素的新技术可能会使现金外流成为可能。所以空格处应为这些因素的内容，所以应选答案F。

Slower Walkers Have Slower Minds, Scientists Reveal
Of all human activities, few are so readily credited with enhancing the power of the mind as going for a good walk. However, those who assume that strolling along at a gentle pace is the symbol of superior intellect should think again, scientists have said. __________67_________
Doctors have long used walking speed to gain a quick and reliable understanding of older people’s mental capability, as it is increasingly recognized that pace is associated with not only muscular strength but also the central nervous system. __________68_______The relationship was so obvious, however, that the US scientists now say walking tests could be used to provide an early indication of dementia（痴呆）.
Published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the study revealed an average difference of 16 IQ points between the slowest and the fastest walkers at the age of 45. This reflected both the participants’ natural walking speed and the pace they achieved when asked to walk as fast as they could. __________69_________ Actually, slower walkers were shown to have “speeded aging” on a 19-measure scale devised by researchers, and their lungs, teeth and immune systems tended to be in worse shape than the people who walked faster.
The 904 New Zealand men and women who were tested at 45 were tracked from the age of three, each undergoing multiple tests over the years. The long-term data collection enabled researchers to establish that kids with lower IQ scores, lower linguistic ability and weaker emotional control tended to have slower walking speeds by middle age.__________70__________.
The research team said genetic factors may explain the link between walking speed, brain capacity and physical health or that better brain health might promote physical activity, leading to better walking speed. Some of the differences in health and intellect may be the result of lifestyle choices individuals have made. 【答案】67C, 68E, 69A, 70D

状元考前提醒 拿到试卷：熟悉试卷 刚拿到试卷一般心情比较紧张，建议拿到卷子以后看看考卷一共几页， 有多少道题，了解试卷结构，通览全卷是克服“前面难题做不出，后面易 题没时间做”的有效措施，也从根本上防止了“漏做题”。 答题策略 答题策略一共有三点： 1. 先易后难、先熟后生。先做简单的、熟悉的题，再做综合题、难题。 2. 先小后大。先做容易拿分的小题，再做耗时又 复杂的大题。3. 先局部后整体。把疑难问题划分成一系列的步骤，一步一 步的解决，每解决一步就能得到一步的分数。 立足中下题目，力争高水平 考试时，因为时间和个别题目的难度，多数学生很难做完、做对全部题目，所以在答卷中要立足中下题目。中下题目通常占全卷的80%以上，是试题的主要构成，学生能拿下这些题目，实际上就是有了胜利在握的心理，对攻克高档题会更放得开。 确保运算正确，立足一次性成功 在答卷时，要在以快为上的前提下，稳扎稳打，步步准确，尽量一次 性成功。不能为追求速度而丢掉准确度，甚至丢掉重要的得分步骤。试题 做完后要认真做好解后检查，看是否有空题，答卷是否准确，格式是否规 范。 要学会“挤”分 考试试题大多分步给分，所以理科要把主要方程式和计算结果写在显要位置，文科尽量把要点写清晰，作文尤其要注意开头和结尾。考试时，每一道题都认真思考，能做几步就做几步，对于考生来说就是能做几分是几分，这是考试中最好的策略。 检查后的涂改方式要讲究 发现错误后要划掉重新写，忌原地用涂黑的方式改，这会使阅卷老师看不清。如果对现有的题解不满意想重新写，要先写出正确的，再划去错误的。有的同学先把原来写的题解涂抹了，写新题解的时间又不够，本来可能得的分数被自己涂掉了。考试期间遇到这些事，莫慌乱！
2020年上海高考英语六选四专题练习 (名师总结解题技巧，值得下载练习) 一、六选四考察要求概述 选句填空"（俗称"六选四"）是2017年上海高考英语试卷中启用的题型。根据题目要求，学生需从所给的六个选项中选取四个填入文中的空格处，使文章从内容、语言、结构上都符合逻辑。考生在备考这一部分时,需意识到以下几点： 1.虽然每一小题都要求选择正确的句子填入文中，但在文中不同的地方挖空，考査的能力要求也 会有所不同。如果空格处需填入主题句，考査的是对文本或段落的概括能力，如果空格处需填入能使上下文叙述连贯的细节，考査的则是对文章基本内容的理解能力。因此，针对不同的空格，考生需要调整自己的思维方式，选择合适的策略； 2.虽然本部分属于阅读理解这一大题，同样也考查考生的阅读理解能力，但是要注意这一题型与 阅读选择题的差异。选择题通过题干告诉考生考点在哪里，考査目标是什么，考生就可以据此选择合适的策略来答题，而"选句填空"则要求考生在理解文章内容和行文逻辑的基础上，自行判断空格处需填入句子的功能，再进一步选择合适的策略来答题。基于以上分析，建议考生在完成"选句填空"这一部分时，可以采用以下步骤：1.通读全文，对文章内容有整体理解，包括文章的主题、写作的目的、毎一段的大意等; 2.阅读空格所在段落，尤其是空格前后句，判断空格处需填入句子的功能，并根据据后句的内容基本确定需填入句子的内容；3.阅读所给的六个句子，从中选择符合文章内容及行文逻辑的句子；4.通读填入句子后的文章，再次确认文章内容、语言、结构上是否符合逻辑。 二、六选四做题技巧指导 1.利用句子中心实词解题
句子中心实词是指在一个句子表达中需要占据句子主干或者中心意思的一类实词。和代词一样，当一个句子中出现了表达某一特点概念的中心实词时，该句上下文就应该围绕这样的中心来展开，也就是说正确选项中不能呈现上下文没有交代的一个中心实词，因此我们可以利用这一现象来帮助我们找到正常选项或者排除错误选项。 例1：_______ Ask yourself what problem the audience wants to solve, and talk about that problem first. “Then and only then, talk about what you are good at as the solution to that problem,” says Morgan. “Audiences start off by asking why. Why am I here? Why should I care? If you answer those questions early, then they’ll ask how. Your job is to answer the why question first and then address the how.” 答案：A 解析：空格所在位置揭示这是段落的中心词audience，总结后文可见应该考虑读者需求。而且接下来的几句话都是围绕这个中心词来的。 例2：It is possible they are, but they are not the most civilized. Animals fight, so do savages; so to be good at fighting is to be good in the way an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. ____68_______. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some ways of settling their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off greater number of the other side, and then saying that the side which has killed most has won. 答案：A 解析:这里容易受到干扰是C因为原文后面说人们打斗去解决争吵。但是这一段中心词是civilized。根

【2018宝山区—一模】 IV. Summary Writing Secure payment without leaving a trace Computer scientist Andy Rupp, member of the “Signaling Code and Security” working group, is always surprised about lacking problem awareness: only few users are aware of the fact that by using payment systems they disclose in detail how and what they consume or which routes they have taken. To prevent control of the accounts by dishonest users, customer data and account balances of payment are usually carried out with the help of a central database. In every payment deal, the customer is identified and the details of her/his deal are transmitted to the central database. This repeated identification process produces a data trace that might be misused by the provider or third parties. The expert has now presented the basics of an “electronic purse” that works by unknown names, but prevents misuse at the same time. The “black-box addition plus” (BBA+) code system developed by them transfers all necessary account data to the card used or the smartphone and guarantees their secrets with the help of signaling code methods. At the same time, BBA+ offers security guarantees for the operator of the payment system: The code system guarantees a correct account balance and is mathematically constructed such that the identity of the user is disclosed as soon as the attempt is made to pay with a controlled account. “Our new code system guarantees privacy and security for customers during offline operation as well,” Andy Rupp says. “This is needed for ensuring the payment system’s suitability for daily use. Think of a subway doorway or a payment bridge. There you may have no internet connection at all or it is very slow.” Also its high efficiency makes the code system suited for everyday use: During first test runs, researchers completed payments within about one second. ①when customers use payment systems, most of them don’t realize the fact that by doing so, they risk( take the risk of ) losing privacy. ②Researchers have now developed a secure system called BBA+, which works anonymously and avoids misuses as well. ③moreover ( apart from / besides the security of privacy), it also proves to be efficient for daily use.(47 words) 【2018—崇明区一模】 IV.
