47.D:考查副词:ever用于否定句表示"在任何时候、从来",由于Jimmy说了谎话,所以"从来就没人查明事实真相(found out)".与下文"几乎20年后再提及此事"相呼应.选D.

点评 答题前一定要略读全文,把握文章要表达的主题,注意前后句与句,段落与段落之间的关系.答题中,一定要认真分析,注意选项与上下文的关系,与前后单词的关系.对于一时没有太大的把握的题可以放到最后再来完成,因为有时答案可以从下文内容体现出来.答完后再通读一遍文章,看看所选选项能不能是语句通顺,语意连贯.

15.
A.package    B.appealing   C.elimination   D.alternative  E.limited  F.practically
G.matched    H.creatively   I.unique       J.temporary   K.enclosed
When young people begin to live independently,home-hunting can involve some stress.But they would do well to remember that a new (41)D is available--micro-homes.
Called"tiny houses,"these houses have all living necessities in a small (42)A,including kitchen,bedroom and bathroom.Generally under 50square meters,most tiny houses accommodate just one or two people though some claim the space for more.What's lost in size is not lost in design as these homes are often quite unique and modern in design.
Besides an attractive appearance,tiny houses can also boast (43)I practical features.Making the best of urban space,the 72-to 122-centimeter-wide Keret House in Warsaw,the world's narrowest home,filled in a corridor.The prototype (原型) home Ecocapsule uses solar power,wind power and rainwater collection to enable its owner to live(44)F anywhere.A system of rails allows the DALE micro-home to adjust room size and number as well as adding the option of an open or (45)K courtyard.
Visually (46)B as micro-homes are,there are a few drawbacks to consider before getting comfortable on a mini-couch.Moving into a tiny house requires the (47)C of most non-essentials,no matter the emotional connection to them.Guests will also mostly be out of the question as the (48)E space may even cause an unaccompanied individual to experience some cabin fever.And finally,a micro-home is likely a(n)(49)J living option for most people since they will probably start families and acquire more possessions.
Though the limitations will scare some,there is usually a benefit.A small size results in a small price tag and small bills,making tiny houses easier to save up for and budget.And though you won't have much stuff around the house,this can provide the comfort of simple living and maintenance.Micro-homes are also practically mobile and boast eco-friendliness that can't be(50)G by other homes.They probably aren't for everyone or forever,but when it comes to your next (or first) home,they could be just what you need.

2.Few would argue that there has not been significant technological progress in the field of self-driving cars in recent years.Aside from the technology question,the legislative issue gives the world a worse headache.The content of the trouble centres on the question of who is to blame in a crash.The legal field tends to have the owners take responsibility for the messes their cold lifeless machine makes,for which case an explosion of lawsuits are well expected.
Today,many of the car manufacturers and their suppliers are researching self-driving technology,but it is unclear why they would want to roll it out quickly.A consumer in America,for example,uses his or her car for approximately one hour per day.There is,therefore,a large amount of"free capacity"in the personal vehicle use market.Imagine a world where you can be driven to work,and where your car can then turn around and drive home so that your partner or anybody else can use it during the day.This shared use pattern could certainly stop the need to own a second car.Taken to its logical conclusion,it could even be the biggest reason to eliminate the need to own a car at all.The effects on car sales volumes could be destructive.
The possible violation of privacy is also a big issue on the map.We all know that consumer data is big business.A self-driving car would easily log where you visited,the time of the day you went,and much more.Though your purchase preferences might escape secret peeping,the leakage of your whereabouts seems inevitable as it's hard to do what you are always doing to your smartphone toward the sole tool of transportation.Power off the big steel fellow and you are stuck on the road.The now excitedly expecting public are sure to be annoyed soon.
Much discussed,the poor application of the technology outweighs the previous factors.In car industry,new vehicle features take a long time to get to broad market mass.Features are typically launched first on high-end vehicles,and then trickle down once there is sufficient space in the market to generate the scale affordable for the volume vehicles.With a car model's life cycle being between five and seven years,it is hard to see self-driving technology being fitted as standards of the mass-market brands.
We still have a long way off from a world of completely self-driving cars.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)

78.The likelihood to take the car owners as the guilty party in traffic accidents will give rise toAn explosion of lawsuits.
79.What feature of the self-driving car would mainly affect car sales?Its shared use pattern.
80.How can we prevent our personal data from being monitored by the self-driving car?By powering off the self-driving car.

12.A single night of taking the drug Ecstasy (摇头丸) can cause serious brain damage and speed up the start of Parkinson's disease,scientists say.Just two or three Ecstasy tablets can permanently destroy brain cells that affect movement and reasoning,according to American research that links the drug to Parkinson's for the first time.
A study by a team at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore,Maryland,involving squirrel monkeys and baboons (狒狒) found that both species suffered permanent damage to key cells,which are lost in Parkinson's,after receiving three low doses(剂量)of Ecstasy at three-hour periods.
The study is particularly important because baboons are one of the best animal models for the human brain.George Ricaurte,who led the research,said that the widespread abuse of drug might have caused severe damage."The most troubling result is that young adults using Ecstasy may be increasing their risk of developing Parkinsonism as they get older."
Alan Leshner,a former director of the US National Institute on Drug Abuse,said,"This study emphasizes the multi-aspect damage that Ecstasy causes to users.We've long known that repeated use damages brain cells.But this study shows that even very occasional use can have long-lasting effects on many different brain systems.It sends an important message to young people:don't experiment with your own brain."
Janet Betts,a mother whose teenage daughter Leah died after a single Ecstasy tablet in 1995,said,"This comes as no surprise.But people can't see the effects at first,and they say it won't happen to them.We'll see the symptoms later,just as we have with smoking."

63.The article is intended toB.
A.explain the bad effects of drugs on people's health
B.warn young people of the risk of taking the drug Ecstasy
C.persuade people out of such bad habits as smoking and using drugs
D.tell us the links between the drug Ecstasy and Parkinson's disease
64.We know from the passage that a low dose of EcstasyB.
A.won't cause serious brain damage
B.can permanently destroy one's brain cells
C.will result in immediate symptoms
D.may bring on Parkinson's at once
65.Why are squirrel monkeys and baboons involved in the experiments?A
A.Because their brain is similar to human being's.
B.Because these animals usually take drugs.
C.Because these animals will soon get well after the experiment.
D.Because there is a model in the animals'brains.
66.The underlined word"This"in the last paragraph probably means thatC.
A.Leah died after a single Ecstasy tablet in 1995
B.taking drug has the same symptoms as smoking
C.occasional use of the drug can have long-lasting effects on the brain systems
D.people have long known that repeated use of the drug damages brain cells.

19.Since the pre-historic times,man has had an urge to satisfy his needs.Be it hunger,shelter or search for a mate,he has always controlled the situations to his advantage.Probably this might be the reason why we humans are the most developed of all living species on the earth.As we climbed the steps of development,we somehow left behind common sense and logical thinking--we forgot that we have stopped thinking ahead of time.
If you are hungry,what do you do?Get a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet.Just like your stomach,even your mind is hungry.But it never lets you know,because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover,favorite star and many such things.So it silently began to care about your needs and never let itself grow.When mind looses its freedom to grow,creativity gets a full stop.This might be the reason why we all sometimes think"What happens next?","Why can't I think?""Why am I always given the difficult problems?"Well,this is the result of using our brain for thinking of not-so-worthy things.

17.Are  morning people  born or made?In my case it was definitely made.In my early 20s,I rarely went to bed before midnight,and I would almost always get up late the next morning.
But after a while I couldn't ignore the high relationship between success and rising early.On those rare occasions where I did get up early,I noticed that my productivity was almost always higher.So I set out to become a habitual early riser.But whenever my alarm went off,my first thought was always to stop that noise and go back to sleep.Eventually some sleep research showed me that I was using the wrong strategy.
The most common wrong strategy is this:You assume that if you're going to get up earlier,you'd better go to bed earlier.It sounds very reasonable,but will usually fail.
There are two main schools(流派) of thought on sleep patterns.One is that you should go to bed and get up at the same time every day.The second school says you should go to bed when you're tired and get up when you naturally wake up.However,I have found both of them are wrong if you care about productivity.If you sleep at set hours,you'll sometimes go to bed when you aren't sleepy enough.You're wasting time lying in bed awake and not being asleep.
If your sleep is based on what your body tells you,you'll probably be sleeping more than you need.Also,your mornings may be less predictable if you're getting up at different times.
The solution for me has been to combine both methods.I go to bed when I'm sleepy and get up with an alarm clock at a fixed time.So I always get up at the same time (in my case 5am),but I go to bed at different times every night-sometimes at 9:30pm,and other times at midnight.Most of the time I go to bed between 10-11pm.
However,going to bed only when I'm sleepy,and getting up at a fixed time every morning is my way.If you want to become an early riser,you can try your own.

60.According to the passage,the underlined phrase refers toB.
A.people who stay up until the next morning.
B.people who get up early in the morning.
C.people who feel sleepy in the morning.
D.people whose productivity is the highest in the morning.
61.Why did the author want to become a habitual early riser?B
A.Because he/she wanted to form the habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
B.Because he/she had found that his/her productivity was higher when he/she got up
early.
C.Because he/she wanted to see which of the two main schools of thought on sleep
patterns was right.
D.Because he/she was told the high relationship between success and rising early.
62.The author experienced all the following EXCEPTD.
A.going to bed after midnight          
B.getting up early occasionally
C.pressing off the alarm to go on sleeping
D.asking scholars for advice on sleeping habits
63.The passage is mainly aboutA.
A.how to become an early riser         
B.how to have good sleep
C.wrong strategies for getting up early
D.main schools of thought on sleep patterns.
