人的生命的意義究竟有多大，是否有什麼衡量標準？當然，要制定出一個絕對標準很難；但是，大體上，從一個人對待生命的態度是否嚴肅認真，不難估計這個人存在的意義。
自古以來，凡是有所成就的人，對待自己的生命都很嚴肅。他在活着的每一天裏，總是盡量去勞動、工作和學習，不願虛度年華，不願讓時間白白浪費。

答案：D)PreventingthePotomacRiverfromflooding.
點睛解析：此題問的是TidalBasin建造的目的，從聽力原文Thebasinwascreatedinthelate1800stopreventthePotomacRiverfromflooding.可知，正確答案為D。
2.Whatdoweknowaboutthecherrytreesfromthereport?

4.WhatdoweknowaboutthenewpresidentGianniInfantinofromthereport?
答案：C)Hepromisedtorestorethescandal-hitFIFA.
點睛解析：此題是細節題。報道中並沒有提到過他的任命時間，lastyear是前領導人離職的時間，選項A錯誤；narrowvictory意為「險勝」，從Infantinowonwithamajority和won27morevotesthanhisclosestrival可知他是以大比分獲勝，選項B錯誤；原文中提到Hepledgedtorebuildthescandal-hitorganization.pledge意為「許諾」，選項C正確；選項D容易混淆，文中提到cleanupthebody，並不是scandals。

答案：B)Shefollowedherdaughters'request.
點睛解析：對話中男士詢問了選擇火車的原因，因為在男士看來，火車既慢且貴，女士隨後回答butit'smytwindaughters'request，可見女士是聽從了女兒們的要求，正確答案是B。C選項很有迷惑性，對話中提到她們很享受路上的風景，但這是結果，並不是原因。
9.Fromtheconversation,whatcanweknowaboutthehousetheystayedin?
答案：A)Itisbuiltwithwood.
點睛解析：對話中女士提到It'sawoodencottagenearalake.A選項正確。選項B和D都沒有提到；木屋是在湖的附近，但是聽力內容並沒有明確說湖是在木屋的前面還是後面，選項C錯誤。
10.Whendidthewomanwearlifejacket?

點睛解析：從對話Ithoughtshewereonabusinesstriprecently.—Yes,sheis.可知，男人的妻子正在出差，正答案是B。
13.Howdidthevasegetbroken?
答案：C)Oneguyknockedthevasedownwhenwavinghisarminaccident.
點睛解析：對話中並沒說有人喝醉，選項A錯誤；對話中提到watchafootballgameontelevision，是在看足球比賽，選項B錯誤；對話中說Oneoftheguysknockedovermywife'sfavoritevaseaccidentallywhenwavinghisarms.選項C正確；horsearound是固定搭配，表示「胡鬧」的意思，選項D錯誤。
14.Whathappenedtothecomputer?
答案：B)Waterspilledonthecomputer.
點睛解析：對話中提到，花瓶里的水濺到了電腦上，選項A和C錯誤，B正確。男人把電腦送到了維修點，並不是自己修理的，選項D錯誤。
15.Howwillthewifefeelwhenshecomesbackhome?
答案：B)Furious.
點睛解析：此題是推理題。從對話最後一句可以推測，妻子回來會非常憤怒，正確答案是B。其他三個選項不會導致有funeral的結局。

16.Accordingtothespeaker,whichseemstobethebirthplaceofthegourmetcoffeetrend?
答案：A)Boston.
點睛解析：此題問的是精品咖啡的發源地，是推斷題。從thistrendstartedfromBoston可知，精品咖啡起源於波士頓，而西雅圖和聖弗朗西斯科的咖啡商人是到波士頓來競爭市場的。正確答案是A。
17.Whywillthecompetitionnothurtanyoftheleadinggourmetcoffeebusinesses?
答案：C)Becausethegourmetcoffeemarketisgrowingandcontinuestogrow.
點睛解析：此題問的是精品咖啡領頭企業不會在競爭中受到傷害的原因。從Expertshasmadeaprediction...alotofroomforthegrowth可知正確答案為C項。A項聽力中沒有提到；B項與此題無關；D項表述錯誤，應是theAmericancoffeemarket，而不是gourmetcoffeemarket。
18.Whowillloseinthegourmetcoffeecompetition?
答案：C)Thoseregularbrands.
點睛解析：從最後兩句話可知，regularbrands會成為這種競爭的reallosers，正確答案是C。

19.Whydopeopleneartheequatorhavedarkskin?
答案：A)Theirskinisexposedtothefiercesunrays.
點睛解析：此題答案在第一句已經直接給出，humanslivingneartheequatorhavedarkskinasaresultofexposuretothefierceSunrays，正確答案是A。
20.WhatdoweknowabouttheAfricangrassmouse'sfur?
答案：A)Itisstriped.

21.Ofthefollowingfourstatements,whichisnotright?
答案：D)OnlytheAfricangrassmousehasalayerofmelanin-pigmentedtissuebetweenitsskinandskull.
點睛解析：此題問的是哪個說法是「不」正確的。選項A要特別注意的是allnot表示的是部分否定，A項意為「不是所有的老鼠都在白天活動」。選項B可從聽力原文TheAfricangrassmousethatlivesineasternandsouthernAfrica...中找到；選項C，由Justlikehumanpopulations...ordarkpigment可推斷出；選項D，可從Thisuniquetissue...bydayalso得知，顱骨和皮膚之間的獨特組織並不是非洲草鼠獨有，unique此處取「獨特」之意。

22.Howdothechildrenlearntodosomething?
答案：B)Bycomparingtheirperformancewiththatofothers.
點睛解析：文章開頭即提出，孩子學習時不應該一直更正，選項A錯誤。隨後聽力中提到，孩子們通過對比，發現自己與其他人的差異或錯誤，從而一點點改正，選項B正確。選項C文中並沒有提到。聽力中asiftheywouldneverfindtheirmistakewithoutbeingpointedouttothem.使用的是虛擬語氣，表示孩子們可以自己發現錯誤，不需要我們來指出，選項D錯誤。
23.Accordingtothespeaker,whatshouldbetheteacher'sjobatschool?
答案：C)Toofferhelpwhenthechildrenadmittheycan'tfindrightwaystotheanswer.
點睛解析：此題答案在聽力最後一句，選項C正確。從聽力原文Wedoallforthem...dependentonexpertssoon可以排除選項A和B。而選項D文中並沒有提到。
24.Whatdoesthespeakerimplyaboutthecurrentteachingmethod?
答案：B)Itdoesn'thelpchildren'slearning.
點睛解析：此題是邏輯推理題。從聽力原文However,childrenarenevergivenachancetofigureouthismistakes...dependentonexpertssoon.可知，作者並不贊同目前的教育方式，認為它不利於孩子們的學習，選項A錯誤，正確答案是B。C項和D項並沒有提到。
25.Whatdoesthespeakerwanttoexpress?
答案：A)Letthechildrenjudgetheirownwork.
點睛解析：本題是主旨大意題，需要對聽力內容整體把握。文章通篇都在講孩子們可以自己發現錯誤學習成長，正確答案是A。B、C、D項都是以偏概全。

點睛解析：getbusiness意為「得到業務，做生意」，聯繫上下文，此處應選C。
34.答案：M)educational
點睛解析：此處缺少的詞，要麼是用來修飾games的形容詞，要麼是用來形容developing的副詞，只剩下H、I、M可選，聯繫上下文和詞義，正確答案應是M。
35.答案：I)experience
點睛解析：本句是begoingto句型的一般將來時態，此處缺少的是to后的動詞，且是動詞原形，只剩下B、G、I可選，聯繫上下文和詞義，正確答案應是I。

SectionC
PassageOne
46.答案：B)getsmorethanhalfvotes
點睛解析：此題答案在第一段倒數第二句。關鍵詞是majority，表示的是超過一半以上的大多數，而不是most，排除A項。正確答案是B。C項和D項提到的bestfacilities和paysfortelevisionrights是IOC的考慮因素，但不是決定性因素，且最高級的說法也不正確。
47.答案：C)It'sfamousinLatinAmerica.
點睛解析：墨西哥城的例子，是在第二段第二句話之後，即IOC會考慮世界上沒有舉辦過奧運會的地區，由此可推斷，是與墨西哥城所處的地理位置有關；第三句直接指出了topopularizetheOlympicsinLatinAmericapartially，可知，原因是它是拉美城市，正確答案是C。
48.答案：C)HowmuchtheIOCneedstofinanceit.
點睛解析：此題問的是「不是」IOC考慮的因素。A、B、D選項在第二段中都有提到，並沒有C選項，且從第三段第一句話可知，IOC沒有義務資助奧運會舉辦城市。正確答案是C。
49.答案：C)Thelocalorganizingcommitteeandgovernment.
點睛解析：第三段第一句話即說明，IOC和NOC都沒有義務資助奧運會舉辦城市，neither...nor...意為「都不」，表示否定的意思，A、B項均錯誤。第二句和最後一句明確指出thelocalorganizingcommittee和government會籌集基金。文中並沒有提到financialorganizations(金融機構)，第三句中提到的一些資金來源也並不是金融機構，D項錯誤。正確答案是C。
50.答案：B)Allthehostcitieswillnotgaingreatprofitasexpected.
點睛解析：A項錯誤，舉辦城市要獲得IOCmajority(多數)的投票，而不是major(主要)國家的投票。B項正確，all...not...表示部分否定，從最後一段最後一句可知，某些舉辦城市所得的利潤會比原本期盼的少。C項錯誤，從第三段最後一句可知，是inmostcases(大部分情況下)，政府會直接提供資金，而不是inanycase(任何情況下)；D項錯誤，第一段最後一句提到，IOC會提前幾年宣佈，給足舉辦城市時間準備，但並沒有說可以申請延長準備時間。
PassageTwo
51.答案：B)Facebookprofitsbysellingtheuser'spersonalinformation.
點睛解析：從第一段最後一句可知，廣告商從Facebook買用戶私人信息，並向目標人群發送廣告，選項A錯誤。選項C顛倒了邏輯關係，原文是說用戶給Facebook上傳了自己的信息，而不是Facebook為用戶提供信息。文章開頭就提出Facebook提供有趣且免費的服務，選項D錯誤。選項B正確。
52.答案：C)Theydon'tknowtheirpersonalinformationenrichestheFacebook.
點睛解析：從第二段第一句話可以知道，用戶並不知道Facebook在用他們的私人信息賺錢，正確答案是C。如第一題解析，Facebook並不收取用戶費用，選項A錯誤；用戶並不知道他們的私人信息被利用，且文中也沒有提到不情願，也沒有說用戶不關心，選項B和D錯誤。
53.答案：B)Torenderbetterservice.
點睛解析：第四段開頭就給出了原因toimproveitsservice，即改進服務，正確答案是B。
54.答案：A)Tosetguidelinesforsocial-networkingsites.
點睛解析：關於SenatorCharlesSchumer，文中只提到了要Facebook更改策略的要求和給社交網站制定條例的呼籲，正確答案是A。setguidelines是「制定方針」的意思。
55.答案：A)Heisworryingabouthispersonaldatabeingabused.
點睛解析：文章最後一段第一句和第二句很明確地說明了作者要取消賬號的原因：Facebook開始侵犯個人私隱。選項A符合此意，是正確答案。
