12、ience 耐心，耐性。surprise 惊喜。concern 关心。4. 【答案】Dguaranteed【解析】 此处考察非谓语动词做后置定语的用法。空格所在句指出：这种快乐会导致另一种有罪的快乐4 损害我们的健康。 guaranteed 有保证的，一定的，填入空格处意为：这种快乐会导致另一种有罪的快乐，肯定会损害我们的健康。 intensified 增强，加剧； privileged 享有特权，专用，特许；compelled 强迫。5. 【答案】A issued【解析】此处考察词义辨析。The Food Standards Authority (FSA) has 5 a public wa

15、逻辑关系+逻辑连接词辨析。 9 studies have shown that acrylamide can cause neurological damage in mice, there is no 10 evidence that it causes cancer in humans. 9 研究表明丙烯酰胺可引起小鼠神经损伤，但是没有 10 证据表明它会导致人类患癌症。前后句为转折/对比/让步的逻辑关系，故选择 while 表示虽然，尽管。Unless 除非，表条件的逻辑关系；Since 因为，表因果逻辑；If 如果，表条件的逻辑关系。10. 【答案】C conclusive【解析】此处
16、考察词义辨析+上下文语境。9研究表明丙烯酰胺可引起小鼠神经损伤，但是没有10证据表明它会导致人类患癌症。conclusive 决定性的; 令人信服的; 确凿的secondary 第二的，中等的;间接的;external 外面的，外部的; 表面上的; 外用的; 外国的; negative 消极的， 否认的。11. 【答案】C likely【解析】此处考察固定搭配。be likely to 可能。insufficient 不足的，不够的；bound 捆绑的，束缚的，有义务的；slow 缓慢的。12. 【答案】A On the basis of【解析】此处考察短语辨析+上下文逻辑。 12 the p

18、gent 急迫的； fortunate 侥幸的，幸运的。14. 【答案】DAfter all【解析】考察逻辑关系。原文中上一句说“基于“预防原则”，可以认为最好遵循 FSA 的建议”。本句说“在有证据证明吸烟与癌症之间的联系之前，吸烟导致癌症的传言就已经流传多年了。结合选项分析，As usual 像往常一样，In particular 尤其，特别，By definition 根据定义，After all 毕竟，只有 After all 符合文意。15. 【答案】Cconnection【解析】本题考察动宾搭配，结合语境和句子成分理解，这里的名词放在 prove“证明”后面，整体处在不定式中做主语
19、补足语说明主语 evidence，这里“证据”应该是证明出来（吸烟和肺癌）有联系的，故选择connection。Resemblance 相似，combination 结合，pattern 模式，均不符合。16. 【答案】Bserved【解析】本题考察主谓搭配，此处为被动语态，和主语a piece of boiled beef 构成实际上的“动宾关系”，句意“毫无疑问，一片煮熟的牛肉总能在周日和一些蒸蔬菜一起 16 ”。这里 served up 表示“上菜，端上” 正和文意。而其他选项 made 制作，saved 节省，used 使用，均不符合。17. 【答案】A To be fair【解析】本
20、题考察主谓搭配，上一句说“但是生命值得过下去吗？”本句话说，“英 FSA 表示，它并没有告诉人们不吃烘焙食品”，可见后文并没有对上文进行举例（for instance）或总结（To be brief）或表示经常发生的事情（in general），故，应该选择顺承关系的 To be fair。18. 【答案】Bentirely【解析】此处考察副词的修饰关系。本句话句意为“英 FSA 表示，它并没有告诉人们不吃烘焙食品 18 ”。结合各选项分析：reluctantly 不情愿地，entirely 完全地，gradually 逐渐地，carefully 小心谨慎地，能跟前面的否定词 not 呼应使用
21、表示一种部分否定的，只能是entirely 才合适，not .entirely 表示“并未完全”。19. 【答案】Ccampaign【解析】本题考察主谓搭配。根据原文语境“然而，他们（FSA）的.有风险给人一种劝诱式保姆的感觉” ， 答案 campaign 表示（“ 开展的）运动，活动”放在这里最合适。promise 承诺，experience 经历或经验，competition竞争，均不能体现本文中 FSA 所做行为的代称。20. 【答案】Dend up【解析】考察动宾搭配，这里的句义是“持续不断的健康威胁 20 却没有人在听。”这里想强调太多的的对健康的恐慌的最终结果，只有“结束，以.告终
22、”这个含义最符合，所以选择 end up， 而 follow up 跟踪， 坚持完成，pick up 捡起，拾起，偶然学到，open up 打开，开发，均不符合文义。Section Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts.

23、, among them Yvette Cooper, are bringing in the new year with a call to institute a UK town of culture award.

A town of cult
25、ure award could, it is argued, become an annual event, attracting funding and creating jobs.Some might see the proposal as a boo by prize for the fact that Britain is no longer be able to ap ply for the much more prestigious title of European capital of culture, a sought-after award bagged by Glasgo
26、w in 1990 and Livorpool in 2008.

Suburb of culture? H
27、amlet of culture?It is also wise to recall that such titles are not a cure-all. A badly run year of culturewashes in a nd out of a place like the tide, bringing prominence for a spell but leaving no lasting benefits to the co mmunity. The really successful holders of such titles are those that do a
28、great deal more than fill hotel bedrooms and bring in high-profile arts events and good press for a year.

But it can be done: Glasg ows year as European capital of culture can certainly be seen as one of complex series of factors that have turned the city into the power of art
30、, music and theatre that it remains today.A town of culture could be not just about the arts but about honouring a towns peculiarities-helpi ng sustain its high street, supporting local facilities and above all celebrating its people and turn it into action.21. Copper and her colleague argue that a
31、town of culture award would .A. consolidate the town city ties in BritainB. promote cooperation among Brains townsC. increase the economic strength of Brains townsD. focus Brains limited resources on cultural events.22. According to paragraph 2, the proposal might be regarded by some as .A.a sensibl

34、问库珀和她的同事们认为“文化之城”这一奖项可能会怎样可以定位在第一段第三句：“Cooper and her colleagues argue that the success of the crown for Hull,” “赫尔之冠”的成功并不局限于城市，它为赫尔带来了 2.2 亿欧元的投资和大量艺术作品。英国的城镇，确实没有被阻止申请，但他们通常缺乏资源来凑齐一点来击败他们更大的竞争对手。有人认为，“文化之城”奖可以成为一项年度活动，吸引资金并创造就业机会。所以能看出答案是C. 增强英国城镇的经济实力。22 B a self-deceiving attempt该题是推断题, 题干问:根据第
35、二段，这一提议或许会被一些人认为是 .。 可以定位在第二段第一句“Some might see the proposal as a boo by prize for the fact that”“有些人可能会把这个提议看作是一个嘘声，因为英国已经不能再申请更有声望的欧洲文化之都的称号了” 能看出来有些人是持反面态度的。很多人不认识 boo，但是也能从后面的 on the verge of disappearing into an endless fever of self-celebration in its desperation to reinvent itself for,在绝望地为英国
36、退欧后的世界重塑形象之际，英国即将消失在一场无休止的自我庆祝热潮之中. 接下来几个反问句，能看出来是一种自我欺骗的尝试，所以选择B。23 D commits to its long-term growth该题也是细节题, 题干问:作者认为这个头衔的持有者是成功的只要它可以定位到第三段第三句，这些头衔真正成功的持有者，是那些除了为酒店带来收入、带来引人注目的艺术活动和一年的良好报道之外， 还做了很多事情的人。它们转变了当地居民的愿望;他们将城市的自我形象推向更大胆、更乐观的一面。所以能看出只要他把致力于乡村的长期发展中，这个头衔就会是成功的。24 A. a contrasting case这题是
37、写作目的题， 题干说：第 3 段提到格拉斯哥是为了展现什么。可以定位到第三段倒数第一句。可以看到前面有明显的 BUT， 知道和前面的意思成相反。“这个问题很难解决，需要高度的远见卓识，也需要城市当局、私营部门、社区团体和文化组织之间的合作。但这是可以做到的:格拉斯哥作为欧洲文化之都的一年，可以被看作是一系列复杂的因素之一，这些因素把这座城市变成了艺术、音乐和戏剧的力量， 直到今天。”25 D favourable这题是作者态度题，问作者对于这个建议的态度。第一段是提出该建议。第二段是一些人认为这个建议有点吹嘘。而只有最后一段能看出作者对此建议的态度，“一个“文化之城”不仅仅是艺术之城，而且要尊
38、重一个城市的特色帮助维持它的商业街，支持当地的设施，最重要的是赞美它的人民，并将其转化为行动。”所以能看出是积极赞成的态度。Text 2Scientific publishing has long been a licence to print money.

39、r review also for free, because it is a central element in the acquisition of status and the production of scientific knowledge.With the content of papers secured for free, the publisher needs only fnd a market for its journal. Until this century, university libraries were not very price sensitive.
40、Scientific publishers routinely report profit margins approaching 40% on their operations, at a time when the rest of the publishing industry is in an existential crisis. The Dutch giant Elsevier, which claims to publish 25% of the scientific papers produced in the world,made profits of more than 90
