Section B

Directions: In Section B, you will hear two passages and a longer conversation, and you will be asked several questions on each of the passages and the conversation. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the question will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.

Questions are based on the following passage.

11.

A. Finding an ideal job.

B. Helping others in trouble.

C. Wearing fashionable skirts.

D. Living in a beautiful apartment.

12.

A. To explore psychology and philosophy.

D. To pursue happiness and get rid of depression.

13.

A. By editing, interpreting and retelling their story.

B. By being loyal to what happens in their daily life.

C. By learning from the events of other people’s life.

D. By fully understanding how others became fulfilled.

【答案】11. B 12. C 13. A

【解析】

I used to think the whole purpose of life was pursuing happiness, so I searched for ideal jobs, fashionable clothes, beautiful apartments. But instead of ever feeling fulfilled, I felt anxious.

To explore the truth, I decided to learn positive psychology. I discovered what makes people depressed is a lack of having meaning in life. By interviewing hundreds of people and reading thousands of pages of psychology and philosophy, I found the four parts of a meaningful life.

The first is belonging. Belonging comes from being in relationships where you’re valued for who you are and where you value others as well. For most people, belonging is the most essential source of meaning. The second is purpose. The key to purpose is using your strengths to serve others. The third

part is about stepping beyond yourself.

The fourth one tends to surprise people. It is storytelling, the story you tell yourself about yourself. Creating a narrative from the events of your life helps you understand how you became you. But we don’t always realize that we’re the authors of our stories and can change the way we’re telling them. Your life isn’t just a list of events. You can edit, interpret and retell your story.

Questions:

What is most likely to make the speaker feel fulfilled?

Why did the speaker interview hundreds of people?

How can people tell their life story?

A. Wearing gloves.

B. Telling stories.

17.

A. What do glove stand for in Disney?

B. How did gloves become popular in Disney?

C. When were gloves brought into being in Disney?

D. Why do many Disney characters wear gloves?

【答案】14. A 15. C 16. B 17. D

【解析】

Mickey, Minnie, Donald Duck, Pinocchio, and more Disney characters all have one thing in common—gloves. Although there are many incredible stories about Disney’s most famous characters, putting gloves on animation characters is actually a pretty logical move.

The short answer as to why so many characters wear gloves is that animation is an intensive process. It takes time and accuracy to create the characters you know and love. Animators wanted to make their job a touch easier and faster with a few techniques. One of these strategies was using round edges instead of angles, according to Vox. So this also meant simplifying features, such as hands, to make the animation process quicker.

Still, in the age of black and white cartoons, separating characters’ round-edge hands from their black bodies was hard. Gloves were an easy way to make their hands stand out. In fact, Walt Disney might have been the first to put gloves on his characters in The Opry House, starring Mickey Mouse,

per Vox. Once animation moved away from black and white, Mickey and his friends kept their signature white gloves.

Besides keeping the animation simple, Walt Disney told his biographer, Bob Thomas, t hat the gloves exist for another reason: to humanize the mouse. “We didn’t want him to have mouse hands because he was supposed to be more human,” Disney told Thomas in 1957, according to the New York Times. Questions:

What is the common feature of Disney characters?

What can we conclude from the animation process?

Why gloves enjoyed great popularity in black and white cartoons?

What does the speaker mainly talk about?

M: That’s a really good body figure, ha?

W: Yeah, but why not get yourself some new clothes?

Can Indoor Plants Really Purify the Air?

Plants are very important to human life. Through photosynthesis (光合作用), they transform carbon dioxide into fresh oxygen. They ___21___(assume) to remove toxins from the air we breathe—but is this true?

One famous NASA experiment, published in 1989, has found indoor plants can clean the air by removing pollutants ___22___(cause) cancer. Later research has found soil micro-organisms in the potted plant also ___23___(play) a part in cleaning indoor air.

Based on this research, some scientists say house plants are effective natural air purifiers, and the bigger and leafier the plant, the better. The amount of leaf surface area influences the rate of air purification. ___24___, however, say the evidence that plants can effectively accomplish this feat (功绩) is far from conclusive.

“There are no definitive studies to show that having indoor plants can significantly increase the air quality in your home,” ___25___Luz Claudio, a pr ofessor of environmental medicine and public health. “There’s no question ___26___plants are capable of removing volatile (易挥发的) chemical toxins from the air under laboratory conditions,” says Claudio. But in your home or office space, the notion that putting a few plants together can purify your air doesn’t have much hard science ___27___(back) it up.

Most research efforts to date, including the NASA study, placed indoor plants in small, ___28___(seal) environments to assess how much air-purifying power th ey have. “But those studies aren’t really applicable to what happens in a house. In many cases, the air in your home completely turns over—that is, exchanges places with outdoor air—once every hour. In

most instances, air exchange with the outside has a ___29___(great) effect on indoor air quality than plants.” says Stanley Kays, a professor of horticulture (园艺学).

Disappointed ____30____many people may be by what Kays said, the professor also made it clear that he believes house plants are beneficial. Studies have shown plants can knock out stress and make people feel happier. More research shows spending time around nature has a positive effect on a person’s mood and energy levels.

22. causing

23. play 24. Others

这是一篇议论文。室内植物真的能净化空气吗?对于此问题，有的研究表明，室内植物可以通过去除致癌污染物来净化空气。而有的人认为，目前还没有明确的研究表明室内种植植物能显著提高家中的空气质量，但是认为室内植物是有益的，这是无疑的。

【21题详解】

考查一般现在时的被动语态。句意：它们被认为可以清除我们呼吸的空气中的毒素——但这是真的吗?分析句子可知，本句为一般现在时，主语They与assume为被动。故填are assumed。

【22题详解】

考查现在分词。句意：美国宇航局1989年发表的一项著名实验发现，室内植物可以

通过去除致癌污染物来净化空气。pollutants与cause在逻辑上是主动关系，所以用现在分词作定语。故填causing。

【23题详解】

考查一般现在时。句意：后来的研究发现盆栽植物中的土壤微生物也在净化室内空气中发挥着作用。分析句子可知，本句为一般现在时，主语为soil micro-organisms，所以谓语用复数形式。故填play。

【24题详解】

考查代词。句意：然而，其他人认为，植物能够有效地完成这一壮举的证据还远没有定论。由前文的“some scientists”可知，本空为others。someothers“一些……另一些……”。故填Others。

【25题详解】

考查介词短语。句意：据环境医学和公共卫生教授Luz Claudio所说：“目前还没有明确的研究表明室内种植植物能显著提高家中的空气质量。”according to表示“根据”，通常是指根据别人或别处，而不能根据自己，所以其后不能接表示第一人称的代词（如me, us），同时也很少接表示第二人称的代词（you），但用于第三人称（如him, her, Jim, Mary, the doctor等）则属正常用法。故填according to。【26题详解】

考查连接代词。句意：Claudio说：“毫无疑问，在实验室条件下，植物能够清除空气中的挥发性化学毒素。”分析句子可知，本句为同位语从句，从句成分完整，句意完整，所以连接代词为that。故填that。

【27题详解】

考查动词不定式。句意：但在你的家里或办公室里，把一些植物放在一起可以净化空气的想法并没有多少支持的科学依据。分析句子可知，本句为动词不定式作作后置定语。故填to back。

【28题详解】

考查形容词。句意：到目前为止，包括NASA研究在内的大多数研究工作，都是将室内植物置于小型密封环境中，以评估它们的空气净化能力。分析句子可知，sealed

为形容词，意为“密封的”，修饰名词environment。故填sealed。

【29题详解】

考查形容词比较级。句意：在大多数情况下，与外界空气交换对室内空气质量的影响比植物对室内空气质量的影响大。由“than”可知，本空填形容词的比较级greater。故填greater。

【30题详解】

考查部分倒装句。句意：尽管许多人可能对Kays所说的话感到失望，但这位教授也明确表示，他相信室内植物是有益处的。分析句子可知，本句为as“尽管”引导的不完全倒装句。其形式为：形容词+as +主语+动词。故填 as。

【点睛】as或though引导的倒装句

一、名词+as / though+主语+动词

King as he was, he was unhappy. 他虽是国王，但他并不幸福。

二、形容词+as / though+主语+动词

Successful as he is, he is not proud. 他虽然成功，但不骄傲。

三、副词+as / though+主语+动词

Smart Homes Around the Corner

Internet-connected lights, locks and laundry machines are close to becoming everyday household items, thanks in part to voice-activated speakers such as Amazon’s Echo and Google Home.

The market has witnessed increasing sales of lights that turn off when you say “good night,” smart locks that let in your friends before you get home, and other smart-home gadgets (小配件).

Alex Hawkinson, CEO of Samsung’s Smart Things smart-home business, said that about half of his new customers are coming because of smart speakers “____40____a lot of excitement.” Once people get their first smart product, such as a smart plug, they are likely to buy more, market researchers say.
