READING

Passage 1。

1.D。

Details. Q According to the article,how does Zod generally behave after

going to the market?
According to lines 4 through 8 of the article, "The first figs...",Zod
generally expresses a passion for the fruits and vegetables of the season
that are newly launched. "Surprise at finding unfamiliar food" in option A
is wrong. Because fruits and vegetables are not unfamiliar with food, but
each year with the seasonal changes in the market, the next market.

2.A。

Vocabulary questions. Train means "pointing (especially with a gun,

camera) and aiming."
(point or aim something, typically a gun or camera, at)
Example:
The detective trained his gun on the side door.
The detective aimed his gun at the side door.

3.A。

The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the third line, "Handing out
parcels like trophies," what rhetorical features are there?
"Giving a waiter a package (with vegetables) is like giving a trophy prize,"
says Zod, who treats food with respect.

4.A。

Details. The question shows thatZod is more careful about what he cooks
at that restaurant.
Evidence in lines 39 to 44, introducing... Slowly corresponds to the
correct option A in thegradually.

5.B。

Details. Q According to the article, nina and Zod are very different in that...?
Evidence in lines 51 to 54, unlike her, he wasn'tborn with natural
knowledge corresponding to the most different andthe correct option B
in the she had a more natural understanding ....

6.D。

The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last
question, see the analysis of the last question.

7.C。

The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the rhetorical function of

paragraph 6 (lines 55 to 63).
The 6th natural paragraph is about what to add to this dish, what to add
to that dish, so this paragraph is to give a few examples of Zod's
improvement on the old recipe.
Option A's "struggle to reconciliation his own desire to pursue his own
interests and his duty to respect family traditions" is not mentioned in
this paragraph.
Option B speaks to the situation in paragraph 1 of the article.
Option D says,"Zod has a scientific understanding of some of the food
ingredients he added to the old recipe," the article says.
8.A。

Details. Ask Yanik what he thought of Zod when he gazed at him.

First note that consider in the trunk means "look with all your attention;
gaze", which corresponds to the watching him of line 67. According to
lines 68 to 72 (which is Yanik's mental activity while looking atZod),
"How does Zod reconcile the big gap between what he wants (the
situation) and all he has? Not only did he agree to the plan put forward by
his parents, but he also seemed to adapt smoothly to it, as if he were
comfortable putting his foot in a suitable pair of shoes. "This passage
indicates that Zod is satisfied with the current situation, which makes
Yanik agree and appreciate. So choose A. The start of option B, his own
business, is not mentioned in the article, and we cannot draw this
conclusion based only on what he wanteded and what he had in line 69
and the plan his parents had proposed in line 70.

9.B。

The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last
question, see the analysis of the last question.

10.B。
The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the last natural segment,
whatrhetorical features does Zod's generals have?
The common in the caption means "words that express opinions or
responses; opinions; comments". So the question can be translated into
"In the last natural paragraph, what doZod do in response to his father's
two words?" " 。

"Yes, I know it takes courage (to be a chef in my own restaurant as a life

choice), " says Zod, "There's no place I'd rather be there than stay here"
is Zod's way of expressing his choice to accept being a chef in his own
restaurant. So pick B. There may be classmates who want to choose D,
and the D option, resigned to, means "passive, have to obey, and accept"
(feeling or showing acceptance that something unwanted or will will or
can be changed), and the words in the article Zod are indicating positive
choices. So don't choose D.

Passage 2。

11.B。

The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the rhetorical function of lines
17 through 22.
Line 17 to line 22 says, "Zappos (which is a shoe-selling website), Virgin
Atlantic, and Google have set up play areas in their offices to relieve work
stress, boost morale and increase productivity." Line 15 to Line 17 says,
"There have been studies that have shown that humor can provide a short
break for workers to work, relieve work stress, and improve productivity."
"So lines 17 through 22 are specific examples of companies that believe
in previous research, set up play areas, and improve employee
productivity. So pick B.

12.C。

Vocabulary questions. nature means "nature, essence; characteristics"

(the basic or nature features of what, especially when see as
characteristic of it)
Example: There are a lot of other documents of that nature.
There are many documents of the same nature.
The acter in the option means "features, features, features" (the
distinctive nature of something)
Example: Gas lamps give the area its character.
Petrol lamps have become a feature of the area.
13.A。

The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the rhetorical function of the
full text.
The discus in option A does not translate into "discussion" but rather
"detailed narrative or discussion" (talk or write about a topic in detail, take
into account different ideas and opinions), and this article does detail the
research of two Australian scientists, and the results of this research may
be practical. So choose A.
The article doesn't mention "a common assumption", the study isn't
about improving office relationships, it doesn't mention the debate about
what's going on, so the other options are wrong.

14.D。

Separate proof-seeking questions. The two scientists' research has a pre-

set view that an activity does not have to be intellectually challenging to
cause psychological fatigue. Ask what lines of evidence there are?
On lines 40 through 42, the first stage of the experiment was for the
students to cross out all the letters in the two-page book, E, and then the
article said it was a "momently" task. The two scientists' experiments
were designed to allow participants to move on to the next stage
(watching the video) without designing particularly mind-taking
experiments, but rather simple but annoying activities such as bicing
letters.

15.D。

Details. Still test experimental design, according to 46 lines to 47 lines, in

the second stage, the students are divided into three groups, watch
different videos, which give a group of students to put Mr. Bean's video,
is put as a humorous video, that is to say, the scientist defaulted, students
watched Mr. Bean's video, it will feel funny, otherwise you can not
compare with the other two groups of students, so the D option is correct.

16.A。

The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last
question, see the analysis of the last question.

17.B。

Vocabulary questions. design means "designed for a specific function or

purpose" to devise for a specific function or end
Cases:
a book designed primarily as a college textbook。

a suitcase designed to hold a laptop computer。

The meaning of devise in the alternative is close.

18.B。

Chart questions. According to the problem dry requirements, find the

neutral conditions in the horizontal coordinates, read the ordinate is 20.

19.C。

Chart questions. In fact, ask, which of the following options is consistent

with Figures 1 and 2?
A) Compared to the other two groups, the subjects in the contentment
group entered the second phase of the "longer than who persisted"
experiment and held on for a shorter total time, but took the same amount
of time per attempt.
The total time that the Content group adheres to is indeed the shortest,
but the time spent on each attempt needs to be divided by the bar value
of each group in Figure 2 by the bar value of Figure 1, and we simply do
some parting to show that the results of the three groups are different. So
A is wrong.
B) This option is incorrect because there is only attempts information in
the chart and no information about correct predictions.
C) Compared with the other two groups, the humor group entered the
second phase of the "longer than who lasted" experiment, the longest
total time, the total number of attempts made also the most. Conforms to
Figures 1 and 2, which are the correct options.
D) is the same as option B, which is incorrect because there is only
information about attempts in the chart and no information about correct
predictions.

20.D。

A comprehensive analysis of the picture. Which of the following options

is actually asked, consistent with articles, Figure 1, and Figure 2?
The A option can correspond to lines 15 to 17 of the article, but the two
diagrams are not supported.
The office interpersonal relationships in option B are not mentioned in
articles or charts.
Option C says that "focusing on a task is not helpful for the final
completion of the task." This statement is not mentioned in neither
diagram.
Option D says, "Employees are more likely to enjoy work if the employer
schedules some interesting activities on a regular basis." "Because the
experiments and diagrams in the article only show that humor videos can
make people who work more energetic, and that they can hold on to
longer perspectives when faced with difficult tasks, and that they can
make people work more productively, there are problems with this
option." But if you have to choose the correct option, you can only choose
D.

Passage 3。

21.C。

It is required to summarize the structure and context of the full text.

Line 1 to line 10 of the article introduces the theoretical hypothesis put
forward by a research team (do dogs also need to sleep to consolidate
their memories?). Do you want to teach them some skills and then
arrange for them to have a good night's sleep, so that the training will be
better? Lines 11 through 75 are detailing several experiments that
scientists have done to test this theoretical hypothesis, and lines 51 to 57
tell the story of some unexpected results. So pick C.

22.D。

Details. Q According to the article, what was the purpose of the first
experiment to figure out?
This way of asking questions put whyther in the question dry, we read
each option to look at the question dry and options together, don't miss
this why.
According to line 21 to line 29 of the article, the purpose of the experiment
is to compare the e-brain map of a dog who has learned something new
and then slept with the electro-encephalogram of a dog who has not
learned something new and then sleeps, to see if it is different, that is, to
see if learning before going to bed causes the dog to have some brain
activity during sleep. So choose D.

23.D。

Vocabulary questions. respond means "react" (act or behave in reaction

to someone or something)
The fact in the alternative also means "react" (respond or or a particular
way in response to something), and the two words are close in meaning.
24.C。

Vocabulary questions. manner means "way" (a way in a thing is done or

happens). The approach in the alternative means "how things are
handled" (a way of dealing with with something), and the two words are
close in meaning.
Option Aourtesy means "courtesy; humility" (the show of politeness in
one's attitude and the behaviourals of others) or "especially the polite
words or acts required by social custom" (a polite speech or action,
especially one requires by convention).

25.A。

Although this question can be selected by exclusion, but we have to

thoroughly understand this question, but it is not easy. Let's look at the
problem first. First of all, the informed in the inscription is not an adjective,
but rather the dynamic of the object verb inform. And object verb form
means "giving characteristics or essence" (to give character or essence
to; give an essential or formative principle or quality to)
Example:
The relationship of the citizen to the state is informed by the democratic
ideal.
The identity of the country's citizens and the relationship between the
state is endowed by democratic ideas.
(The concept of democracy gives the citizens of this country the qualities
of the relationship between the state.) )

Second, look at another word in the question, which means "things to

consider; motivation, reason; factors" (a fact or a motive into account in
decisioning or judging something)
According to the article, it is reasonable to assume that thecharacteristics
of the experimental design of the Kis team's second experiment were
given by which of the following factors?
That is, "what makes the experimental design of the second experiment
have its characteristics(essence)".
We found the second experiment in the article, which is in lines 35 to 57,
and is talking about the experimental process of the second experiment.
The key to the experimental process of the second experiment (that is,
the key to the experimental design). It's about getting the dogs in the
experiment to learn the skills first (the formation of option A, the new
momory),divide the dogs into three groups, put a group of dogs to sleep,
a group of dogs to learnother skills, and a group of dogs to play with. This
means that three groups of dogs are allowed to perform three different
activities (i.e. beavior is modified) over a period of time frame after
learning the skill (i.e., in option A). It was this time frame that designed its
characteristics for the second experiment. The time frame in option A
means "especially when something has happened during a period of time
or as expected" (a period of time, especially a specific period of time in
what is what is planned to take place).
What the dog does in this time frame behavior determines the grouping
of dogs, and in the second test a week later, the performance of the three
groups of dogs is still compared by this group (lines 58 to 64).
So option A is correct.
It is added here that, according to the article, after the dog has initially
learned its skills, memory is formed, followed by sleep or other activities,
which are part of the process of being consolidation or forgetting.

Option B "Scientists have different views on what kind of brain activity

dogs do when they sleep"
Option C "Some languages are already easier to understand than others"
Option D "After the dog learns to do a certain behavior, testing the dog
again for this behavior(restest itself) will hinder their memory of this skill."

26.D。

The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last
question, see the analysis of the last question.

27.B。

The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Q What rhetorical features does no

new learning have in parentheses on line 24?
is to make one aspect of experimental design clearer. That is to say, to
have a group of dogs practice listening to Hungarian password activities
is not a new behavior, but a long time ago.
Clariffy in the correct option B means "clarify, clarify, make clear" (make
a statement or situation) confused and more clearly comprehensible.

28.C。

Details. Q. Based on the article, which of the following suggestions is

given to professional dog trainers to help them train their dogs to perform
better in learning new skills?
According to lines 75 to 78, the group of dogs that learned a new skill and
then learned another one performed the worst. Lines 77 through 78
followed another by training session where had to learn a new task
corresponds to the correct option C in the exposing the dog to the
problem and the tasks.

29.D。

The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last
question, see the analysis of the last question.

30.A。

Chart questions. The play row and one hour after training columns are
found in the table, and the reading data is 43.94.

31.B。

Chart questions. Ask which of the following statements finds the

strongest support for the data in the table?
You need to compare the four options one by one with the table.
A) Read the diagram, because 54.37 is less than 59.52, so A error.
B) Dogs in the play group completed the test correctly at the end of
training at the lowest of the three groups, but not the lowest after one
week. (Read the figure to see that 48.99 is indeed the lowest, but 63.13 is
not the lowest, so option B is correct)
C) The number of times the learn group completed the test correctly was
the lowest of all test points. (Read the diagram to know that in the first
column end of training is not the lowest, so C error)
D) Read the diagram to find the column of end of training and find that
both walk and paly numbers are less than 50, so D error.

Passage 4。

32.B。

Details. Ask the speaker what his or her attitude is toward his or her
experiences with members of the U.S. government.
According to lines 27 through 28 of the article, tired corresponds to the
correct option B.
Weary means "tired; impatient."
reluctant to see or experience any more of; tired of。
33.B。

Details. Q. According to the article, the speaker implied that one of the
obvious shortcomings of the U.S. government was...?
According to lines 15 to 18 of the article, U.S. officials said much, but no
action was taken, and lines 29 to 30, also said, all the good words and all
the broken promises.

34.A。

The way this question is asked is to ask what the focus of the text has
shifted from what to what. In fact, it is required to summarize the full text
of the context.
Line 1 to Line 34, the author first made a critical assessment of the U.S.
government's approach to the Indians (lines 30, broken promises, lines
31 to 34, too misreprepresentaions... too many misunderstandings...... ),
line 35 begins to line 85 and is expressing its will on behalf of the native
Indians (line 36 treat all men alike, line 53 I only ask of the Government to
be treated as all other man, line 68, let me be a free man, etc.). So option
A is correct.

35.D。

The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Q. What are the main rhetorical
effects of repeatedly using "good words" multiple times between lines 18
and 30 in the article?
it's actually good what it means good, but here it means "good faith."
Showing kindness or "satisfactory" (pleasing and welcome).
A) Indicates that the speaker speaks frankly and in good faith to the
attention.
B) Emphasize that there is a contrast between the way government
officials speak to each other and the way the government speaks to the
speaker.
C) Emphasize that the speaker believes he can persuade the audience to
respect his demands.
D) indicates that many people have expressed some purpose and
intention to the speaker, which are satisfactory to the speaker.

36.B。

Separate proof-seeking questions. Because people of all ethnic groups

have a common origin, the rights enjoyed by the 44 people should be
available to all and born with them. Ask the line number in the article that
provides evidence for this claim.
Evidence in lines 39 to 41, the earth... Equal rights upon it, and the dry
question can obviously correspond.

37.C。

The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the speaker in line 41 to enemy
line 4, using the metaphor of river inverting, so that rhetorical effect?
Please note that image means "figurative, metaphorical or metaphorical".
a simile or metaphor。

Example:
He uses the image of a hole to describe emotional emptiness.
He uses the metaphor of "empty" to describe emotional emptiness.

Lines 41 through 44, and then 45 to 48, mean, "Now you in the U.S.
government are going to take those of us born from the Indians to a
closed area and not give us the freedom to move freely to where we want
to go, how can you do that?" You might as well hope that the river will
flow back. A horse tied to a place cannot be strong. How can we develop
well when you limit our Indians to one place? "That is to say, it is
impossible and unrealistic to fix a person who comes from a place and
not allow him to go where he wants to go, hoping that he will be satisfied
with the situation, just as it is to hope that the river will flow back."
The prospect in the correct option C means "expectation, outlook,
prospect"
a mental picture of a future or anticipated event。

Specifically refers to line 43 of the a free man should be contented.

38.D。

Details. According to the article, it is reasonable to assume that the

speaker believes that the ability of a person to grow directly depends on
what?
Evidence in lines 46 to 48, therow and prosperity of lines 48 correspond
to the trive in the trunk, the pen in line 46... up, compel him to stay after
taking the opposite corresponding to the correct option D'allance of ...
freedom。

Note that allowance in the correct option D means "permissible"

the act of allowing something : PERMISSION;tolerance; sufferance。

Example: the allowance of slavery in the South

The tolerance of slavery in the South
39.B。

The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last
question, see the analysis of the last question.

40.C。

Details. Q. According to the speaker, the white officials who asked the
Indians to stay in the designated area...?
According to lines 48 to 52, "I asked a lot of the leaders of the U.S.
government, where did you get that power by allowing white people to
move freely while restricting the freedom of our Indians?" What is the
basis of your power? None of them can answer. "Corresponds to the
meaning of the correct option C.

41.D。

Vocabulary questions. condition means "state, situation" (a state of being)

circumstance means "situation, condition, situation, environment".
a fact or condition connected with or relevant to an event or action。

The two mean close.

42.A。

Details. Ask the speaker to have an assertion that the law should...?
According to lines 64 to 67, "Indians and whites should be equal before
the law, and if Indians break the law, they punish him, and if whites break
the law, they punish him as well."
Corresponds to the equallyable accountable in the correct option A.
Accountable means that (people, organizations, institutions) should be
responsible.
(of a person, organization, or institution) required or expected to justify
actions or decisions; responsible。

Example: Parents cannot be heldable for their children's action.

Parents cannot be required to be responsible for their children's actions.
Also note that the BCD three options, according to our common sense
are not wrong, but the article does not mention, so can not choose.

Passage 5。
43.C。

Details. Ask Passage 1 to suggest that secchi and his colleagues are
different from previous researchers who have studied water passing
through carbon nanotubes.
Evidence on lines 23 to 25, "This measurement accuracy (which can be
achieved with such precision) is a key step forward in the study." The
corresponding precise measurements in the correct option C.

44.B。

Vocabulary questions. The reconcile of line 38 means "to make

coexistence; to reconcile; to make conformity, to make conformity".
cause to coexist in harmony; make or show to be compatible。

Example: You may have to adjust your ideal to reconcile it with reality.
Maybe you should adjust your ideals to make them realistic.
Asked is line 38, we need to refer to the same batch of things according
to the previous measurements of line 39, and the values of line 35, and
then see line 35 say these values differ, we can correspond to the
correct option in B discrepancies.

45.A。

Details. Q What relationship did Secchi and his colleagues find between
carbon nanotube radius and slip length, according to Passage 1?
Here we start with lines 30 through 31, the larger the slip lengh, the
smaller the friction. In addition, according to lines 40 to 44, radius and
slip length are related, and the youngest radius, friction is almost zero,
that is, the smaller the radius, the smaller the friction. Combined with
these two places, we can exit, that is, the smaller the radius, the larger
the slip length, the smaller the friction. So radius and slip length are
anti-related relationships, so choose A.

46.D。

Details. Q. According to Passage 2, what is the effect of using carbon

nanotubes with a diameter of 2 nanometers and carbon nanotubes with
a diameter of 0.8 nanometers in the process of separating salt from salt
water, assuming other conditions are the same?
According to lines 74 to 82 of the article, when using carbon nanotubes
with diameters greater than 1 nanometer, although water flow can also
be enhanced, it still does not meet the transport efficiency of (natural)
biological proteins, can not separate salts, only when the diameter is
less than 1 nanometer.
This is consistent with the correct option D.

47.B。

Vocabulary questions. Line 81 deliver means to come through with:

PRODUCE
Output.
Example:
The new car delivers high gas mileage.
The unit fuel mileage of this new car is very high.
The meaning of produce in the alternative is similar.
48.C。

Separate proof-seeking questions. LLNL researchers use a process

used by a living organization as a benchmark against which to evaluate
the results of their experiments.
Evidence in lines 74 through 79, biosological proteins in lines 77 to 78
corresponds to the living organisms in the trunk, and did not match in
lines 77 corresponds to the asa benchmark in the trunk.
Benchmark means "benchmark."
a standard or point of reference against which things may be compared
or assessed。

Based on something, the results of the experiment will be compared

with this thing, and then know if the results of the experiment is match
this thing.
Match means "match; (quality or strength) and... Equivalent"
be equal to (something) in quality or strength。

49.D。

Details. Ask the assertion in lines 83 through 88 of the article that can be
understood as, changing the parameter mentioned by Wanunu would
produce...?
Line 85 of the manipulation corresponds to the a given change in the
trunk, line 85 to line 86 of the can enhance pore efficiency corresponds
to the correct option D in the alteration in the pore efficiency.

50.C。

Two comprehensive analysis questions. The two Passages messages

are the strongest hint: What would Secchi and his colleagues think is
the reason for the "rapid increase in performance" observed by LLNL
referred to in line 82?

Option A is incorrect because improvements in the observation method

do not affect the performance of water through carbon nanotubes.
Option B is wrong because the increase in molecular movement is the
result of an increase in water flow through carbon nanotubes, not the
cause.
Option D is incorrect because each group in the experiment (each group
is different from the radius) increases water pressure, which does not
affect the results of the experiment.
The C option is correct because, according to lines 30 to 32 of the
article, the larger the slip length, the smaller the friction, and the more
efficient the water passes, the more "boost in performance" mentioned
in line 82 appears.

51.D。

The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the
last question, see the analysis of the last question.

52.B。

Two comprehensive analysis questions. Based on two articles, some of

the carbon nanotubes used by LLNL researchers produced some
results, and the carbon nanotubes used in experiments conducted by
Secchi and colleagues may not have had these consequences. Which of
the following options is such a consequence?
Because friction is small in both experiments, option A is wrong.

Because according to lines 66 to 72 of the article, only in the second

experiment, the diameter of the carbon nanotubes was less than 1
nanometer, and the same level as the bioological water transporter (line
71, that is, the cellular water transport channels on line 94, that is, the
nature's own on line 97) could be achieved at the same level as the
single-file mentioned in line 70 arrangement。

According to lines 43 to 44 of the article, in the first experiment, the

minimum radius was 15 nanometers, i.e. 30 nanometers in diameter,
much higher than 1 nanometer, so it was not possible to achieve the
style-file arrangement mentioned in line 70. So option B is correct.

Because in both experiments, the friction was relatively small, so the

water flowed very quickly, so option C was wrong.

Because in both experiments, water flowed due to differences in

pressure, option D was wrong.

Passage 1:Music is for the Birds。

1.A。

start down. The next sentence of examples is that researchers have found
that humpback whales create long rhythmic songs (meaning similar to
human music), and chimpanzees have been found to have characteristic
rhythms (meaning similar to human music). Corresponding to option A. A
Means that many animals make human-like music.

2.B。

the tha is followed by the guest language, the main meaning of the
structure of the guest does not need to add unnecessary punctuation.

3.A。

Use a colon before the idiom at the end of the sentence.

4.A。

Sentence sorting. The first sentence has a theese sounds that explains
that the previous sentence needs to account for a sound, and the

with the principle of simplicity.

8.B。

Here is a virtual tone, if sb were..., so you should choose were.

9.D。

The principle of simplicity. ABCD means the same thing, but D is the most
concise.

10.C。

Parallel structure. The C option is symmetrical with the previous a

specific context, a persist beat structure, while the other options are not
symmetrical.

11.B。

The main meaning is the same. Share's main language is animals,

pluluables, so you can't add third-person singrations.

Passage 2: The Art of Writing。

12.A。

The main meaning is the same. Serve's main language isChinese call,
sing, so the service becomes a third-person singration.

13.C。

Fixed match. purpose of sth/doing sth。

14.C。

If the title requires that the first half of the sentence be chosen to form
contrast, then the blend in single brushstroke in C is just the same as the
previous test characters.

Express style. A is the most normative written expression.

16.B。

From expert to museum this part is the same language to do insertion (so
left and right to be separated by a double comma), decorate Dr. Hongxing
Zhang. 。

17.D。

Word meaning analysis. The sentence meant "identification,

discernment" and said, "But by the time Wang finished his work, his eyes
were no longer able to recognize the multiilayered character". Anticipate
is expected, vision is foreseen, and regard is treated.

18.C。

The sentence waiting to be sorted refers to the Book of Morals, so the

concept is not introduce until sentence 2, so the sentence waiting to be
sorted must be after sentence 2, and the answer is only CD. """"

19.D。

Below is Wang on another canvas comose calligraphic painting,

corresponding to the D option extended his paintings onto multiple
canvases.

20.D。

The first half of the sentence is now parted as an accompanying adverb,

the second half is the main sentence, the middle should be connected
with a comma.

21.A。

The second half of the sentence is about disrup easy reading (negative
review), then the concession part of the first half sentence should be a
positive evaluation, and need to be combined with the caligraphy
mentioned in the previous paragraph. Only A can echo the internal

Base on is a fixed match, so it should be on the texts they are based.

Passage 3: Charity Can Be Good for Business。

23.B。

Word meaning analysis. Detract from means "derogation, damage" and

distraction means "distraction". The one is "they" and the other is "there".
This sentence is intended to say that "the main purpose of enterprises is
to make money, so charitable activities will detract from their economic
benefits".

24.C。

punctuation.

28.D。

a good reputation to the company, and this paragraph says that doing
charity increases employee productivity, then D is the best transition
sentence (D means "except to cultivate a good relationship between the
company and the consumer").
29.B。

sentence, what is said here is a past experiment, so use the general past.

30.A。

workers", so the all workers column in the production chart is indeed from
17%-34%.

31.D。

Chart questions, find a column of low in the chart, and then find 73%, then
the corresponding far left grid is the D option.

32.B。

The principle of simplicity. ACDs are repeated with words.

33.D。

Logical hosts are consistent. The it in the Because clause must be

consistent with the host of the main sentence, so the master of the main
sentence must be city.

34.D。

Logical hosts are consistent. Seeking this action can only be issued by
people, so the main language of the sentence must be human, then only
D can.

35.B。

Although all four options speak of camels, this paragraph is about the U.S.
military using camel to travel, so the corresponding B option of the
traveled to the city, procuring camels as they want.

36.B。
The Because section is a reason adverb clause, and the main sentence
thereof should be commas, and cannot be added.

37.C。

sentence should be camels, not drivers.

choose receive, because other people give the talent called receive, get
their own called gain.

This passage is about how Ali trains soldiers and camels, and the
sentences waiting to be added have nothing to do with the content of the
passage.

41.C。

The second half of the sentence says that camels perform better than
horses and donkeys, so the one that corresponds to option C is
They(referring to camels) performed admirable.

42.B。

Two all grids cannot be connected, excluding AD. There should be an all-
in-one grid behind the experiment, because this means "the day of the
camel experiment". So pick B.

43.C。

The center of option A is misplaced, the center of gravity of the original

sentence is tensions left Congress..., but the center of gravity of option A
becomes thethere tensions between ... and ...。 The ones of option B are

used very long in the same language. Theese of option D doesn't work
properly, there's no mention of tensions in the previous article, and
theese here doesn't work properly.

44.B。

The full text focuses on the camerons and Ali, with only option B taking
both into account.
