【选词填空】

36。N。saw 第一空显然缺少谓语，优先考虑动词，结合语义并根据

Late November and December可以推出应选择过去式动词，故答案锁定saw。

37。F。decades 根据two，首选复数名词，结合语义，

“for the first time in the two decades”，二十年来头一次。

38。H。globally 句子为主系表结构，不缺主要成分，所以首选副词和形容词，根据语义，ever表示“一直以来地、向来地”，“十一月向来是全球范围内最温暖的一个月。”

39。D。chances 缺少主语，并且谓语是are，所以首选复数形式的名词，结合前文Enjoy the snow now，“享受现在的雪吧”，因为“时机是好的”。

40。J。occurs 空格前方有主语，且是单数形式，而后面由when引导的时间状语从句的时态是一般现在时，所以主句谓语锁定第三人称单数形式的动词，只能选择occurs。

41。A。specific空格左为定冠词the，空格右为名词，中间只能选形容词，选择“特定的”符合语义。

42。B。associated 空格左为be动词，右边为介词with，中间只能是形容词或动词的过去分词形式，be associated with表示“与…有联系”，符合原意。

43。G。experiences 空格左为主语southern Africa，空格内应该为动词的第三人称单词形式，结合语义，选G，“南非经历着干燥的天气。

44。M。reduce 空格左为情态动词，空格内必须为动词原形，填reduce“减少”符合原题。

45。K。populations 空格与左边的large fish 共同构成动词support的宾语，只能选一个名词来作为名词词组，故选K，“大量的鱼群”。

选词填空原文（一）

For many Americans，2013 ended with an unusually bitter cold snap。Late November an

d December saw early snow and bone-chilling temperatures in much of th

e country，part o

f a year when—for the first time in two decades—

record-cold days will likely turn out to have outnumbered record-warm ones。But the U.S。was the exception：November was the warmest ever globally，and the provisional dat a indicates that 2013 is likely to have been the fourth-hottest year on record。

Enjoy the snow now，because chances are good that 2014 will be even hotter—perhaps the hottest year since records have been kept。That’

s because，scientists are predicting，2014 will be an El Ni?o year。

El Ni?o，Spanish for “the child”，occurs when surface ocean waters in the southern Pa cific become abnormally warm。So large is the Pacific，covering 30% of the planet’

s surface，that the specific energy generated by its warming is enough to touch off a series of weather changes around the world。El Ni?o are associated with abnormally dry condition s in the Southeast Asia and Australia。They can lead to extreme rain in parts of North and S outh America，even as southern Africa experiences dry weather。Marine life may be aff ected too：El Ni?o the rising of the cold，nutrient-rich water that supports large fish pop ulations，and the unusually warm ocean temperatures can destroy coral。

【阅读理解】

原文：Could you reproduce Silicon Valley elsewhere, or is there somethingunique about it? It wouldn’

t be surprising if it were hard to reproduce in othercountries, because you couldn’

t reproduce it in most of the USeither. What does it take to make a silicon valley?

It is the right people. If you could get the right ten thousandpeo ple to move from Silicon Valley to Buffalo, Buffalo would becomeSili con Valley.

You only need two kinds of people to create a technology hub: richpeople and nerds. Observation bears this out: within the US, towns have becomestartup hubs if and only if they have both rich people and nerds.Few start ups happen in Miami, for example, because although it’

sfull of rich people, it has few nerds. It’s not the kind of placenerds like.

WhereasPittsburgh has the opposite problem: plenty of nerds, but no richpeople. The top US Computer Science departments are said to be MIT,Stanford, Berkeley, and Carnegie-Mellon. MIT yielded Route 128.Stan

ford and Berkeley yielded Silicon Valley. But Carnegie-Mellon?The reco rd skips at that point. Lower down the list, the Universityof Washi ngton yielded a high-tech community in Seattle, and theUniversity of Texas at Austin yielded one in Austin. But whathappened in Pittsbu rgh? And in Ithaca, home of Cornell, which isalso high on the list ?

I grew up in Pittsburgh and went to college at Cornell, so I cananswer for both. The weather is t errible, particularly in winter,and there’

s no interesting old city to make up for it, as there isin Boston. Rich people don’

t want to live in Pittsburgh or Ithaca.So while there are plenty of hackers who could start start ups,there’s no one to invest in them.Do you really need the rich people? Wouldn’

t it work to have thegovernment invest in the nerds? No, it would not. Startup investorsare a d istinct type of rich people. They tend to have a lot ofexperience themselves in the technology b usiness. This helps thempick the right startups, and means they can supply advice andconnecti ons as well as money. And the fact that they have apersonal stake in the outcome makes them really pay attention.

参考答案及解析

56.原文第一段第一句反问句

“Could you reproduce Silicon Valley elsewhere, or isthere something unique about it?”可得知答案选A——Its success is hard tocopy anywhere else. 选项copy同义改写原文的reproduce。

57.由题干大写字母Miami定位到原文第五段

“Few startups happen in Miami, for example,because although it’

s full of rich people, it has few nerds. It’snot the kind of place nerdslike.”由因果关系词because找到原因——这里既是有很多富裕的人，却几乎没有nerds（痴迷科研的人）。所以答案选B——Lackof the right kind of talents.

58，由题干大写字母Carnegie-Mellon, MIT, Stanford,Berkeley等定位到第六段，问CM 和其他的是哪里有不同。

“The top US Computer Sciencedepartments are said to be MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, andCarneg ie-Mellon. MIT yielded Route 128. Stanford and Berkeleyyielded Silicon Valley. But Carnegie-M ellon? The record skips atthat point.”原文讲到了MIT, Stanford, Berkeley都yielded产生了很有名的sciencedepartment，而Carnegie-Mellon呢？这个记录可以直接跳过忽略。言下之意

就是CM没有出名的sciencedepartment，所以答案选D——

It does not pay much attention to businessstartups.

59题，由题干大写字母Boston定位到倒数第二段。定位句

“The weather is terrible, particularlyin winter, and there’

s no interesting old city to make up for it,as there is in Boston”说到了Boston是一个无聊的老城市，而定位句的下一句“So while thereare plenty of hackers who could start startups, there’s no one toinvest in them”说到了这样的城市无法吸引投资。所以答案选C——

It is not likely to attractlots of investors and nerds.

60题，由startup investors定位到最后一段。Startupinvestors不仅富有，他们一般都经验丰富，而且能给提供一些建议，所以答案选C——They can do more thanproviding money.

原文：Everybody sleeps—

so goes the Sesame Street song meant for obstinately awake children。That may be true，but what people stay up late to catch—or wake up early in order not to miss—

varies by culture。

Around the world，people changed sleep patterns thanks to the start or end of daylight savi ngs time。Russians，for example，began to wake up about a half-hour later each day after President Vladimir Putin shifted the country permanently to “winter time”starting o n October 26

Russia’

s other late nights and early mornings generally coincided with public holidays。One such sp ike was on New Year’

s Eve，which Russians tend to ring in with unusual fervor，as well as on World War II Vict ory Day。According to another Jawbone finding，Russians have the world

‘s latest bedtime on December 31，hitting the hay at around 3：30 a.m。

Russians also got up an hour later on International Women’

s Day，the day for coddling and celebrating female relatives。

Similarly，Americans’late nights，late mornings，and longest sleeps coincided wit h three-day weekends。

Canada got the least sleep of the year the night it beat Sweden in the Olympic hockey final

The World Cup was also a major sleep-deprivation culprit。The worst night for sleep in the

U.K。was the night of the England-Italy match on June 14。Brits stayed up a half-hour lat er to watch it，and then they woke up earlier than usual the next morning thanks to summe r nights，the phenomenon in which the sun barely sets in northern countries in the summer time。That was nothing，though，compared to Germans，Italians，and the Fre nch，who stayed up around an hour and a half later on various days throughout the summe r to watch the Cup。

It should be made clear that not everyone has a device to record their sleep patterns；in so me of these nations，it’

s likely that only the richest people do。And people who elect to track their sleep may try to get more sleep than the average person。Even if that’

s the case，though，the above findings are still striking。If the most healthconscious a mong us have such deep swings in our shuteye levels throughout the year，how much sleep are the rest of us losing

61题，定位到第一段最后一句“varies by culture”，所以答案选A——

They are culture-related。

62题，由题干的大写名词Russian定位到第二段和第三段。第二段的

“Russian，for example，began to wake up about a half-hour later each day”这一句是干扰句，起得晚不一定睡得早，所以答案推不出“他们比其他地方的人睡得更久”。然后看到第三段“Russia’

s other late nights and early mornings generally coincided with public holidays”，所以答案为C——They don’t sleep much on holidays。

63题，题干问的是欧洲人缺乏睡眠的major cause主要原因是什么，由题干的大写名词Europeans’loss定位到倒数第二段的

“compared to Germans，Italians，and the French，who stayed up around an hour a nd a half later on various days throughout the summer to watch the Cup”，原文的Germans，Italians，and the French就是题干中“Europeans”的同义改写，而他们stayed up 就是为了to watch the Cup，所以说他们缺乏睡眠的原因便是C选项——The World Cup。

64题，问的是富有的人使用设备来记录他们的睡眠模式的原因。由rich people以及device定位到最后一段第一句，定位句只说到了记录的事实，而非其原因。按照四级阅读金三句原则看到定位句的下一句

“And people who elect to track their sleep may try to get more sleep than the average person ”，记录睡眠的人是想要得到比普通人更多的睡眠，所以答案是B——

They want to get sufficient sleep。

65题，问的是作者在最后一段所表达的观点，定位到最后一句

If the most healthconscious among us have such deep swings in our shuteye levels throughout

the year，how much sleep are the rest of us losing？作者提到了health-conscious，人们对健康的意识是缺乏的，对健康是视而不见的，所以答案选B——

Few people really know the importance of sleep。

四级作文话题：“听比说重要”

As we all known, talking and listening are commonly used in communication, but how can you talk without listening to others? Good conversation skills include much more than simply talkin g to others, listening is also a necessary quality of a successful person.

I firmly believe that listening is of greater significance than talking. For one thing, If you can not listen correctly, you can not talk properly. Just imagine a world where everyone keep talking b ut nobody listening, it's useless to say anything then. For another, if you want to make achieve ment in social settings, relationships and business, one way to ensure your success is to be a gr eat listener.

Therefore, in order to enhance our conversation skills, here are a few simple rules we can follo w to help us become a better listener, such as stopping talking endlessly, giving your full attent ion to the speaker and making an effort to shift the focus of the conversation to the other pers on. All in all, nothing can instead of listening! (169 words)

四级作文话题：“活到老学到老”。

It is widely accepted that to live and learn is a creed of many centuries. Even in contemporary s ociety, life -long learning still carries great importance to personal happiness.

To begin with, hardly can anyone achieve genuine success in his career without learning . As co mpetition in all lines of work grows increasingly fierce, we must defeat our rivals through learn ing. Furthermore, according to a latest survey conducted by an authority on the Internet, 95 pe rcent of people interviewed answered that individual happiness and success can not exist with out life-long learning. In addition, an increasing number of people come to realize the value of persistent learning. A case in point is those aged citizens having been retried from work , who s eek to learning Chinese drawing, calligraphy and Peking drama, so that their life after retireme nt can be meaningful, full of colors.

Taking into account the analysis above, we can safely draw a conclusion that where there is lea ning , there is life-long happiness.

四级作文话题：“做一个行动派”。

While we often hear some people say that they have great plans and fantastic dreams, they sel dom put their plans into reality. These people are the talker not the actor. However, it is the ac tor not the talker who can achieve the goal

Rome was not built in one day. We should realize our dream step by step. Although one day’s improvement is little, it can finally become tremendous, so we should not look down upon th e trival things. Take study for example, those who stand out in the class are often not the smar t ones who ignore everyday actions but the ones who are deligent and devide their dreams int o everyday’s action.

Therefore, go out there to see what happens, and go out there to make something happen. On ly when you go out to act everyday can you make your dreams come true.
