My college experience included this life-skill lesson: Drink alcohol on a full stomach. Or you will
get inebriated too quickly. Of course, most college students shouldn’t be drinking at all, but we know
from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism that close to 60 percent of college
students aged 18 to 22 do consume alcohol, which makes harm-reducing approaches important.
Unfortunately, campus authorities and researchers are reporting a practice that turns the
full-stomach drinking strategy on its head: rather than filling up before a night of partying, significant
numbers of students refuse to eat all day before consuming alcohol.
This is a high-risk behavior called “drunkorexia,” which is one part eating disorder, one part
alcoholism—a very dangerous combination for college-age students. The term drunkorexia, which
can also include excessive exercise or purging before consuming alcohol, was coined about 10 years
ago, and it started showing up in medical research around 2012. Drunkorexia addresses the need to be
Yellowstone National Park is the flagship of the National Park Service and a
favorite to millions of visitors each year. The park is a major destination for
all members of the family. By driving the grand loop road, visitors can view
the park from the comfort of their vehicle and also take a rest at one of the
many roadside picnic areas.
How much is the entrance fee?
$25 - Private, noncommercial vehicle;
$20 - Motorcycle or snowmobile (winter)
$12 - Visitors 16 and older entering by foot, bike, ski, etc.
This fee provides the visitor with a 7-day entrance permit for both
Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.
A $50 park annual pass provides entrance for a single private
non-commercial vehicle at Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.
The $10 Interagency Senior Pass (62 and older) is a lifetime pass available to
U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
Where can you stay?
Inside Yellowstone, you can choose to stay in modern or historic hotels and
cabins inside the park like the Old Faithful Inn, the world’s largest log
structure. For those who want to be a little closer to nature, there are 12
campgrounds with a range of services from primitive pit toilets to shower and
laundry facilities. There’ s also RV camping with and without dumping
stations.
Staying outside the park gives you unique Old West experiences but still
keeps you close to park attractions.

Hotels and Cabins On The Road section.the life of the party while staying extremely thin, pointing to a flawed mind-set about body image and
alcoholism among college students, mostly women.
Imagine this scenario: A female college freshman doesn’t eat anything all day, exercises on an
empty stomach, then downs five shots of tequila in less than two hours. Because there’s no food in her
system to help slow the absorption of alcohol, those shots affect her rapidly, leading to inebriation and
possibly passing out, vomiting or suffering alcohol poisoning. That’s drunkorexia.
Tavis Glassman, professor of health education and public health at the University of Toledo in
Ohio, researches drunkorexia and worries about scenarios such as the one described above: “With
nothing in her system, alcohol hits quickly, and that brings up the same issues as with any high-risk
drinking: sexual assault, unintentional injury, fights, hangovers that affect class attendance and
grades, and possibly ending up in emergency because the alcohol hits so hard,” he says.
“Alcohol can negatively affect the liver or gastrointestinal system, it can interfere with sleep,
lower the immune system and is linked to several types of cancers,” Hultin says.
58．What does the underlined word “inebriated” in paragraph 1 mean?
A．excited B．overwhelmed C．addicted D．drunk
59．We can infer from the passage that ____________.
A．a large number of college students spend most of their nights partying
B．some college students refuse to eat before drinking alcohol to keep slim
C．There is a direct link between body image and consuming alcohol
D．female college student is more likely to be hurt if she drinks alcohol
60．Which of the following may Tavis Glassman agree with?
A．With more food in one’s system, he may suffer from the effects of alcohol slowly.
B．Drinking five shots of tequila in less than two hours is the performance of drunkorexia.
C．Those who don’t attend classes and have lower grades tend to be addicted to alcohol.
D．Alcohol has negative effects on the immune system and may lead to several cancers.

A good disguise keeps you hidden, right? Well, sometimes the best disguise is actually the most
dazzling because research reveals that flashy metallic iridescence(金属彩虹色) can visually puzzle
predators, which allows colorful prey to survive another day. Those surprising results appear in the
journal ScientificReports.
Shining iridescent color, which changes depending on the angle from which it's viewed, is
favored by everything from birds to beetles and blossoms to butterflies.
“And in our research group we are of course interested in why this vivid metallic color is so
widespread in nature.” Karin Kjernsmo of the University of Bristol adds that in some cases the showy
splashes of light are a sexual strategy. “Here I would like to point out that in some species, particularly
those that display strong sexual dimorphism(雌雄两性), such as birds of paradise or some butterflies
or fishes, the occurrence of iridescence is most likely driven by sexual selection. For example, in many
of these cases it is the males that have these vivid iridescent colors and they use them in mate choice or
they use them as a signal to attract mates.” But iridescence also shows up in situations where
reproduction is not an issue. “So what we are studying now is whether natural selection imposed by
predation(捕食行为) could explain the occurrence of iridescence in prey animals.”
The idea that eyecatching colors could be used as a coverup isn't a new one.“The father of
camouflag(伪装) theory, Abbott Thayer, really believed that iridescence should be categorized as a
camouflage strategy. And he wrote in his famous lifework
ConcealingColorationintheAnimalKingdom, already in 1909, that ‘brilliantly changeable or metallic
colors are among the strongest factors in an animal's concealment’. And this sounds like a completely
unreasonable thing to say, because how can colors that are both brilliant and changeable contribute to
animal's concealment？”“In a similar way, we were asking whether iridescence, due to its changeability, could work as a
form of camouflage by preventing shape recognition.” Kjernsmo and her colleagues trained
bumblebees to associate a particular shape—a circle or an oval—with a sugar reward. And they found
that the bees, when given a choice, would preferentially visit the shape they knew to be sweet. But
when the shapes were iridescent, the bees had trouble telling them apart. “It seemed that the strikingly
iridescent surfaces on our targets visually broke up the otherwise recognizable shape of the targets,
which made them hard to distinguish.” As for making use of this method for hiding in plain sight,
“Any practical applications is of course directly linked to any industry that has an interest in
camouflage, that is how to hide objects or make them more difficult to recognize.” The researchers are
currently conducting experiments with birds, which often prey on iridescent insects to see if it helps to
have a bird'seye view.
61．According to the passage, iridescence is not made use of by animals to ________.
A．live a little longer by escaping their predator(捕食者)
B．catch the attention of their mates
C．conceal themselves when in danger
D．catch sight of more colorful preys
62．From the study in the last paragraph, we can learn that ________.
A．Bees can always tell the difference between a circle and an oval
B．Bees are creatures that are fascinated by sweet things that are iridescent
C．If a circle, with a sugar reward, is iridescent, the bees may have difficulty finding it
D．Bees are likely to prefer circles to ovals, whether they are iridescent or not
63．What will be talked about in the following paragraph?
A．Whether there are any differences between bees and birds.
B．Some industries that have great interest in camouflage.
C．Why birds are not affected by iridescent insects.
D．Which camouflage theory applies more to birds.
64．Which of the following might serve as the best title of the passage?
A．A famous camouflage strategy B．Metallic iridescent as the best disguise
C．Colors unique to animals D．Shining colors as a sexual strategy
D
The age of adulthood is by definition arbitrary. If everyone matured at the same, fixed rate, it
wouldn’t be a human process. Indeed, maturation happens at varying speeds across different
categories within the same individual, so I’d say I was easily old enough to vote at 16, but nobody
should have given me a credit card until I was 32, and I’ve got the county court judgment to prove it.
However, we broadly agree that there’s a difference between a child and an adult, even if we
might argue about the transition point. So the political theorist David Runciman’s view that
six-year-olds should be allowed to vote goes against any standard argument about the age of civic
responsibility. Nobody would say that a six-year-old could be held criminally responsible, could be
sent to war, could be capable of consent, could be given responsibility for anything. So allowing them
the vote—along with, unavoidably, seven-year-olds who are even sillier, if anything—is quite an
amusing proposal.
Runciman’s argument is that this is the only way to rebalance political life, which is currently
twisted in favor of the old, who don’t (he added) ever need to demonstrate mental capacity, even long
after they’ve lost it.
The first part of his case is self-evident: pensions are protected while children’s centers are closed,
concepts such as sovereignty(最高权威) are prioritized over the far more urgent business of the future:
climate change. Nostalgia(怀念) for a past the young wouldn’t even recognize plays a central role,
which is completely unfair.Most of the arguments against giving six-year-olds a vote are that children would end up voting
for something damaging and chaotic, if someone made unrealistic promises to them, which could
never be realized. Well, it’s not children’s fault.
Having said that, children do tend towards the progressive, having a natural sense of justice
(which kicks in at the age of six months, psychologists have shown, by creating scenes of great
unfairness to babies, and making them cry) and an underdeveloped sense of self-interest. My kid,
when he was six, made quite a forceful case against private property, on the basis that, since everybody
needed a house, they shouldn’t cost money, because nobody would want anyone else not to have one.
Also, food should be free. It was a kind of pre-Marx communism, where you limit the coverage of the
market to only those things that you wouldn’t mind someone else not having.
On that particular day, when we were registered as voters, my kid was quite far to the left of me,
but in the normal run of things, we’re united, which brings us to the point of the problem: children
obey you on almost nothing, but they do seem to believe in your politics until they’re adolescent. So
giving kids the vote is really just a way of giving parents extra votes. And what can stop us having
even more children, once there’s so much enfranchisement(选举权) in it for us?
Now, if parents could be trusted to use their influence wisely, and hammer into children the
politics it will take to assure a better future, then I wouldn’t necessarily have a problem with that, apart
from, obviously, that culture is already wildly twisted towards parents, and I can imagine a few
non-parents boiling with fierce anger. But that’s not worth talking about anyway, because parents
can’t be trusted, otherwise we’d all already vote Green(绿党).
In short: no, six-year-olds should not get the vote; but while we’re here, if any votes come up in
the near future, which will have an impact on the next five decades of British political life, alongside
EU migrants, 16-year-olds certainly should be enfranchised.
65．The author refers to his age of adulthood to prove that ___________.
A．people mature at different rates in various aspects
B．there’s a common standard for the age of adulthood
C．a credit card is more difficult to get than the vote
D．certain rights are granted at different stages of life
66．People reject David Runciman’s proposal because ___________.
A．they don’t think a child can grow into adulthood earlier
B．they are uncertain whether children can assume responsibility
C．they believe children are far from mature in many ways
D．they know the age to get the vote is not to be questioned
67．What is the base for David Runciman’s argument?
A．A cultural preference for the old.
B．The imbalance in political life.
C．Inequalities of opportunity.
D．Public ignorance of children’s abilities.
68．The author talks about his kid to indicate that ___________.
A．children are good-natured and like to help people in need
B．children are simple-minded and can fall for an adult’s trick
C．children are innocent and don’t want to be involved in politics
D．children are in favor of a just society and tend to be idealistic
69．The author thinks allowing children the vote may lead to ___________.
A．twisted culture B．misuse of rights
C．parents’ objections D．unusual maturation
70．What is the main point of the passage?
A．Allowing children the vote is not altogether absurd.
B．There is a difference between adults and children.C．Parents should introduce politics to their children.
D．The definition of adulthood is quite controversial.
第 II 卷（共 35 分）
第四部分：任务型阅读（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分）
Going broke in your golden years is commonplace, lasts a long time and is a scarier nightmare
than any Halloween horror film. But by changing habits and doing some smart planning, you can
avoid that terror.
Here are my suggestions:
Cheaper housing
Cutting big, unnecessary expenses is a better place to start.
For many, the best savings trick is leaving a big city. Housing, restaurants, groceries and basic
services typically get cheaper the farther you get from a metropolitan center.
In Seattle, for example, a three-bedroom home can cost $1 million or more, according to Zillow.
In nearby Duvall, Washington, you get that house plus a nice yard for half a million or less. Renting a
three-bedroom Seattle pad typically costs $3,500 a month or more. In the suburbs? Try $2,200. That’s
over $15,000 in annual savings.
Look up housing costs in any major city and its suburbs. You’ll see similar trends. In California,
you get more for your buck in San Ramon than in San Francisco. Santa Clarita is hugely more
affordable than Los Angeles.
Round Rock, Texas, beats Austin. Garden City, New York, beats Manhattan. Move farther out, to
true rural America, and you can cut housing costs by half again, easy.
Can’t give up urban living? Consider moving to a cheaper metro area.
According to SmartAsset’s analysis, a $1 million retirement fund lasts just 10.5 years in
Manhattan. San Francisco is nearly as bad, just 12.7 years.
But in some big cities, your buck stretches further. In Denver, your $1 million savings could last
21 years. West Coasters might also try Phoenix, where $1 million lasts over 25 years.
Cut entertainment spending
If you don’t want to leave family, friends or community, there is another big, easy way to save:
Slash entertainment spending. Few folks fully understand what they waste unconsciously. It’s
estimated that people aged 65 to 74 spend $5,832 annually on play. For a couple, that’s around
$11,000. One reason it gets out of hand? In retirement, you jump from one or two leisure days a week
to seven.
But there is a lot of free and cheap fun. Consider your local Shakespeare in the Park instead of
spending hundreds for “Hamilton” tickets. Have picnics or experiment your way through a new
cookbook instead of eating out regularly. While watching TV, make sure you actually use services you
subscribe to. Many subscribe to things (streaming, gyms, wholesale retailers, etc.) they rarely use.
Rethink your old budget
Central to all this: Plan to change your habits, which can become our real Halloween goblins.
Humans are habitual creatures, and our routines keep us spending the way we did before.
Just as important as avoiding old routines is setting a budget. Then stick to it. Keep records of
your spending. Hold yourself accountable. Don’t forget to plan for the unexpected! Many folks forget
to factor in wiggle room for car or home maintenance.
Budgeting and penny-pinching may not sound fun. But it beats the terrifying misery of going
broke in old age. A little planning goes a long way later.Title: Three tips to avoid terror of___71___ out of money in retirement
Tip1:Reduce
housing expenses
Housing expenses differ greatly because of different___72___of the houses.
◇The farther you are away from a metropolitan center, the smaller your
expenses are.
◇Housing costs are higher in any major city than housing costs in its suburbs.
For example, you’ll spend ___73___ if you choose to live in Manhattan rather
than in Garden City, New York.
◇A $1 million retirement fund can ___74___ out twice longer in Denver than
in Manhattan.
Tip2: Spend less
on entertainment
Free and cheap fun helps.
◇One reason why retired folks can’t___75___the amount of money on
entertainment is that they have 7 days’ free time every week while they had
only one or two leisure days when they were ___76___. That means they have
more opportunities to spend their money.
◇Avoid ___77___to the TV services that you seldom use.
Tip3: Think
___78___ about
your old budget
Avoiding old routines and setting a budget are of the same importance.
◇It’s important to make ___79___to your old routines.
◇Put ___80___ some money for unexpected things, such as the expenses to
maintain your car and home.
第五部分:书面表达(满分 25 分)
请阅读下列材料，并按要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章。
People use more than one exclamation mark (“Sounds good!!!) ， and all caps (“GREAT
IDEA!”)，and repetition of letters (“soooo tired”）in social media. These are the three main ones that show enthusiasm, according to Deborah Tannen, a professor at Georgetown University. It is the same
for the Chinese character “哈（ha)”，which we use to represent laughter. We usually text two, three or
more of these characters to indicate how happy or amused we are. Using many of these kinds of
symbols and characters is clearly becoming a cultural phenomenon.
“HEY STEVE!” someone recently emailed me. Both my name and “Hey” were in caps, and all
five sentences in the message ended with exclamation marks. At first glance I assumed the message
was a loved one writing from a plane that was going down. It turned out to be someone I hardly knew,
discussing minor household chores and thanking me for something that had taken no effort on my part.
I hate it, that if we don’t put six exclamation marks in an email or text we sound like a 13-year-old
girl. But when used too much, the exclamation mark makes no sense to the receiver, losing its intended
meaning.

四，阅读
A 篇 CC
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇应用文，介绍自驾去黄石国家公园旅游的入场费及酒店信息。
56．细节理解题。费用信息的第一行“$25 - Private, noncommercial vehicle;”，表明是针对非商
务活动的私家车，也就是不适用于涉及商务活动的车辆，故 C 项正确。
57．推理判断题。根据对酒店介绍中的“the world’s largest log structure.”可知，位于公园内的
Old Faithful Inn 非常古老，是世界上最大的原木结构，由此可知在这里你可能会了解到一些关
于公园起源的知识，故 C 项正确。
B 篇 DBA
本文为说明文。本文叙述了作者对大学生空腹豪饮趋势的担忧。根据研究的数据表明，大学
生有一种错误的做法：在派对狂欢饮酒前拒绝进食，空腹豪饮既解决了生活中参加派对的需
要，也保持了身材苗条的需要（尤其是女性）。其实“空腹豪饮”会让酒精快速进入人体，对肝
脏或胃肠道系统产生负面影响。
58．猜测词义题。根据“My college experience included this life-skill lesson: Drink alcohol on a full
stomach. Or you will get inebriated too quickly.” 划线词前“我的大学经历包括这门生活技能课即
“饱着肚子喝酒。”以及根据“or”可知，否则的话，就会很快“喝醉的”。下方多处叙述“空腹豪饮
易醉酒的”，可知划线词的意义为“喝醉的”。分析选项：A. excited 激动的；B. overwhelmed 不
知所措的；C. addicted 上瘾的；D. drunk 醉酒的。故选 D。
59．推理判断题。根据第二段“不幸的是，校园当局和研究员指出了一种颠覆“饱腹”饮酒策略
的趋势：大量学生在派对狂欢饮酒前拒绝进食而不是在狂欢之前填饱肚子。”以及第三段最后
部分“空腹豪饮既解决了生活中参加派对的需要，也保持了身材苗条的需要，指出的是大学生
（女性居多）对于身体形象和酗酒风气的错误心态”。由此可得出，一些大学生为了保持苗条，
在喝酒前不吃东西。分析选项可知 B 项符合题意，故选 B。
60．推理判断题。根据最后一段 Tavis Glassman... researches drunk orexia worries about scenarios
such as the one described above: “With nothing in her system, alcohol hits quickly,...”可知，Tavis
Glassman 认为“她的身体系统中没有任何东西，酒精会进入身体很快发作，......”由此可推断出，
“由于一个人的身体里有更多的食物，他受到酒精的影响可能会慢”，分析选项可知 A 正确。
【点睛】
在阅读中我们经常会考查猜测词义题。事实上，阅读材料中的每个词与它前后的词语或句子
甚至段落都有联系。运用逻辑推理猜测词义是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式，这
要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力，充分利用上下文（各种已知信息）并结合具体的
语境推测、判断某些词或短语的词义。猜测词义题。第 1 小题属于猜测词义题。根据“My college
experience included this life-skill lesson: Drink alcohol on a full stomach. Or you will get inebriated
too quickly.”划线词前“我的大学经历包括这门生活技能课即“饱着肚子喝酒。”以及根据“or”可知，否则的话，就会很快“喝醉的”。下方多处叙述“空腹豪饮易醉酒的”。可知划线词的意义为“喝
醉的”。分析选项：A. excited 激动的；B. overwhelmed 不知所措的；C. addicted 上瘾的；D.
drunk 醉酒的。故选 D。
C 篇 DCCB
这是一篇科普类阅读。这篇文章主要讲了彩虹色有助于生物隐藏。
61．细节理解题。根据第一段 A good disguise keeps you hidden, right? Well, sometimes the best
disguise is actually the most dazzling because research reveals that flashy metallic iridescence(金属彩
虹色) can visually puzzle predators, which allows colorful prey to survive another day.可知彩虹色被
动物用来通过逃离捕食者而活得更久，排除 A；根据第三段 Here I would like to point out that in
some species, particularly those that display strong sexual dimorphism(雌雄两性), such as birds of
paradise or some butterflies or fishes, the occurrence of iridescence is most likely driven by sexual
selection.（在这里我想指出的是，在某些物种中，尤其是那些表现出强烈两性差异的物种，比
如天堂鸟、孔雀，甚至在某些蝴蝶或鱼类中，彩虹色的出现很可能是由性别选择所驱动的。）
可知动物用彩虹色引起同伴的注意，排除 B；根据倒数第二段 The idea that eyecatching colors
could be used as a coverup isn't a new one.（引人注目的颜色可以用来伪装，这种想法并不新
鲜），排除 C，故选 D。
62．细节理解题。答案定位在最后一段 It seemed that the strikingly iridescent surfaces on our
targets visually broke up the otherwise recognizable shape of the targets, which made them hard to
distinguish.（似乎我们的目标上惊人的彩虹表面在视觉上打破了原本可以辨认的目标形状，这
使得它们很难区分。）故选 C。
63．推理判断题。文章最后一段说研究人员目前正在对鸟类进行实验，这些鸟类的饮食中经
常含有彩虹色的昆虫。实验目的是看看鸟类的视角是否能提供帮助。由此推断接下来一段会
谈论为什么鸟类不受彩虹色昆虫的影响，故选 C。
64．主旨大意题。第一段 Well, sometimes the best disguise is actually the most dazzling because
research reveals that flashy metallic iridescence(金属彩虹色) can visually puzzle predators, which
allows colorful prey to survive another day.（有时，最好的伪装其实是最耀眼的伪装，因为研究
表明，闪光的金属彩虹色能在视觉上迷惑捕食者，这让五颜六色的猎物能够再存活一天）是
全文的主题句，结合全文内容，可知这篇文章主要讲了彩虹色有助于生物隐藏，故选 B。
【点睛】
做推理判断题时，对于暗含在文章中的人物的行为动机、事件的因果关系及作者未言明的倾
向、意图、态度、观点等要进行合乎逻辑的判断、推理、分析，进一步增强理解能力，抓住
材料实质性的东西。本题第 3 小题，文章最后一段说研究人员目前正在对鸟类进行实验，这
些鸟类的饮食中经常含有彩虹色的昆虫。实验目的是看看鸟类的视角是否能提供帮助。由此
推断接下来一段会谈论为什么鸟类不受彩虹色昆虫的影响，故选 C。
D 篇．ACBDBA
这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲了儿童成熟的速度是不同的，所以作者认为允许儿童投票并不
完全是荒谬的。
65．细节理解题。答案定位在第一段 Indeed, maturation happens at varying speeds across different
categories within the same individual, so I’d say I was easily old enough to vote at 16, but nobody
should have given me a credit card until I was 32, and I’ve got the county court judgment to prove it.
（事实上，在同一个人的不同方面，成熟的速度是不同的，所以我想说，我很容易就到了 16
岁投票的年龄，但在我 32 岁之前，没有人应该给我一张信用卡，我已经得到了县法院的判决
来证明这一点。）由此可知，作者以他的成年年龄来证明人们在各个方面成熟的速度不同，故
选 A。
66．推理判断题。答案定位在第二段 Nobody would say that a six-year-old could be held criminally
responsible, could be sent to war, could be capable of consent, could be given responsibility for
anything.（没有人会说一个六岁的孩子会被追究刑事责任，会被送上战场，会有同意的能力，会被赋予任何责任。）由此推断出，人们拒绝 David Runciman 的提议是因为他们认为孩子们在
很多方面还远远不够成熟，故选 C。
67．细节理解题。答案定位在第三段 Runciman’s argument is that this is the only way to rebalance
political life.（Runciman 的观点是，这是重新平衡政治生活的唯一途径。）由此可知，David
Runciman 的论点的基础是政治生活的不平衡，故选 B。
68．推理判断题。答案定位在倒数第四段 My kid, when he was six, made quite a forceful case
against private property, on the basis that, since everybody needed a house, they shouldn’t cost
money, because nobody would want anyone else not to have one. Also, food should be free. It was a
kind of pre-Marx communism, where you limit the coverage of the market to only those things that
you wouldn’t mind someone else not having.（我的孩子，在他六岁的时候，对私有财产提出了
一个很有力的反对理由，因为每个人都需要房子，他们不应该花钱，因为没有人不希望别人
有房子。此外，食物应该是免费的。这是一种前马克思共产主义，你把市场的覆盖范围限制
在那些你不介意别人没有的东西上。）由此推断出作者以他的孩子为例来说明，孩子们喜欢一
个公正的社会，并且倾向于理想主义，故选 D。
69．推理判断题。答案定位在倒数第三段 So giving kids the vote is really just a way of giving
parents extra votes.（所以给孩子投票权其实只是给父母额外投票的一种方式。）由此推断出，
作者认为允许儿童投票可能会导致权利的滥用，故选 B。
70．推理判断题。答案定位在最后一段 In short: no, six-year-olds should not get the vote; but while
we’re here, if any votes come up in the near future, which will have an impact on the next five
decades of British political life, alongside EU migrants, 16-year-olds certainly should be
enfranchised.（简而言之:不，6 岁的孩子不应该获得选举权;但是当我们在这里的时候，如果在
不久的将来有任何投票产生，这将对英国未来 50 年的政治生活产生影响，连同欧盟移民，16
岁的年轻人当然应该被赋予选举权。）由此可知，作者认为允许儿童投票并不完全是荒谬的，
故选 A。
【点睛】
推理判断题要求考生在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的判断和推理，从而得出
文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题属于主观性较强的高层次阅读理解题，做这类题目
时，同学们应严格依据作者所陈述的细节、事实以及作者的措词、态度和语气等，找出能够
表露作者思想倾向和感情色彩的词语，然后利用自己已获得的相关知识进行推理判断，从而
得出符合逻辑的结论。小题 2，答案定位在第二段 Nobody would say that a six-year-old could be
held criminally responsible, could be sent to war, could be capable of consent, could be given
responsibility for anything.（没有人会说一个六岁的孩子会被追究刑事责任，会被送上战场，会
有同意的能力，会被赋予任何责任。）由此推断出，人们拒绝 David Runciman 的提议是因为他
们认为孩子们在很多方面还远远不够成熟，故选 C。

Zillow. In nearby Duvall, Washington, you get that house plus a nice yard for half a million or less.
Renting a three-bedroom Seattle pad typically costs $3,500 a month or more. In the suburbs? Try
$2,200. That’s over $15,000 in annual savings.”可知，以城市和郊区为例说明房子的位置不同，费
用也不同，different 后接可数名词复数，故填 locations。

hold/last out 表示“维持、坚持”，can 后接动词原形，故填 hold/last。
75 题详解】

六，写作
Today there goes a cultural phenomenon that people use many exclamation marks , caps and
repeated letters or characters to express their strong emotions in social media. Some people support it
while others don’t.
Generally, I’m totally in favor of this phenomenon. To begin with, using these symbols and
repetition of letters or characters contribute to a better mutual communication among people, because
it shows how close and concerned you are. Moreover, it can mirror the genuine sincerity while
chatting with your friends or colleagues in social media because there is no need for you to be that
formal, otherwise your emotions like enthusiasm and happiness would in a sense not be smoothly and
【
【fully expressed and accepted. Last but not least, we should be open to new expression to .keep up with
fashion trends.
So it’s quite safe to conclude that this phenomenon makes for an effective and sincere
communication.
反对：
With people using many exclamation points, caps and repeated letters or characters to express
their strong emotions in social media, the public are divided into two opposite groups: “For” and
“Against.”
I tend to take the “Against” side for three reasons. Firstly, using these symbols and repetition of
letters or characters, senders may make it difficult for receivers to understand what they really want to
convey, especially when they are not very familiar with each other. Secondly, we will definitely leave
others an impression that we are so naive when communicating with others in this way. Thirdly, it’s a
kind of offence to receivers especially on a very formal occasion because it is not that widely accepted.
In short, not only will the practice cause misunderstandings among users, but it will even sound a
little bit offensive to the receivers.
