Section Reading (50 minutes)
Part A
路线：
阅读下面两段文字。选择A、B、C 或D 来回答问题。在答题卡上标记您的答案。
文本1
西塞罗是一位伟大的罗马政治家和他那个时代最著名的演讲家，他的政治生涯是非凡的。当时，罗马的高级政治职位虽然在技术上是通过赢得选举获得的，但几乎完全由一群世代担任这些职位的富裕贵族家族控制。西塞罗的家族虽然贵族，但并不是其中之一，也没有巨额财富。但西塞罗有着巨大的政治野心。在很小的时候，他就选择了与阿喀琉斯相同的基本信念，即据说“:永远是最好的，超越其他人”。由于缺乏出身的优势，他们的职业选择尤其只有两种。其中之一是军事生涯，因为军事上的成功被认为是卓越个人品质的结果，可以带来受欢迎程度，从而带来政治机会，就像后来的美国总统尤利西斯S格兰特和德怀特D艾森豪威尔的情况一样。然而，西塞罗并不是士兵。他讨厌战争，年轻时只在军队服役过很短一段时间。
相反，西塞罗选择了法律职业。为了为这一职业做准备，他学习了法律、修辞学和哲学。当他觉得自己准备好了时，他开始参与法律案件。出于多种原因，从事法律职业可能会带来政治成功，所有这些原因在今天仍然具有现实意义。首先，律师会获得大量的演讲经验。其次，他还可以通过案件获得曝光度和知名度
. Finally, a successful lawyer would build up a network of political connections, which is important now but was even more important in Cicero’s time, when political competition was not conducted along party lines or on the basis of doctrine, but instead was based on loose, shifting networks of personal friendships and commitments. Cicero proved to be an excellent speech-maker and lawyer, and an outstanding politician. He was elected to each of the principal Rome offices on his first try and at the earliest age at which he was legally allowed to run for them. 26. To win an important office in Cicero’s time, a candidate should______. [A] be born of a wealthy family [B] possess political experience [C] launch a national campaign [D] convince the general public 【答案】A 【解析】由 “At the time, high political offices in Rome, though technically achieved by winning elections, were almost exclusively controlled by a group of wealthy noble families（排外性地被富裕的贵族家庭所掌控） that held them for many generations.” 可知，答案为A。 27. Cicero came from a family with ______. [A] great wealth [B] remarkable fame [C] political ambition [D] noble background 【答案】D 【解析】由 “Cicero’s family, though noble（尽管高贵）, was not one of them, nor did it have great wealth.” 可知，答案为D。 28. Unlike Cicero, Ulysses Grant attained his political position due to ______. [A] his strong beliefs [B] his personal relations [C] his military achievements [D] his powerful speeches 【答案】C 【解析】由 “One was a military career（军事生涯）, since military success （军事上的成功）was thought to result from exceptional personal qualities and could lead to popularity and therefore political opportunity as was the case much later for American presidents Ulysses S. Grant”可知，答案为C。 29. A Roman politician’s career prospects were strongly influenced by ______. [A] their party’s support [B] their social connections [C] their political doctrine [D] their public popularity 【答案】B 【解析】由 “Finally, a successful lawyer would build up a network of political connections, which is important now but was even more important in Cicero’s time, when political competition was not conducted along party lines or on the basis of doctrine, but instead was based on loose, shifting networks of personal friendships and commitments（相反，则是基于自由的、变化的个人友谊和承诺）.”可知，答案为B。 30. Cicero was elected to the principal offices when______. [A] he got support from his friends [B] he began his career as a lawyer [C] he was committed to social services [D] he was just old enough to run for them 【答案】D 【解析】由 “He was elected to each of the principal Rome offices on his first try and at the earliest age （最低年龄）at which he was legally allowed to run for them.”答案为D。 Text 2 One of the key challenges in urban architecture over the next 50 years will be figuring out how to squeeze vast numbers of additional people into urban areas that are already extremely crowded. London, for example, will somehow have to deal with a projected 100,000 extra inhabitants every year until 2016. The current plan of building a new “satellite towns” of the city causes a lot of problems---but architecture think tanks are working on ambitious solutions that go vertical instead of horizontal in search of space. In terms of population density, London is one of the least crowded major cities in the world---four times fewer people per square kilometer than Paris, for example, six times fewer than New York and eight times fewer than Cairo. But the fact remains that the city’s population is growing at a rapid rate, and horizontal expansion into the surrounding areas is eating up increasingly important agricultural land, as well as worsening all the transport problems that come with urban growth. Popular Architecture would propose a radically different solution. The proposal is to go upwards, with vertical towers of considerable size, each representing an entire new town, by the time it’s completed. Each tower would be 1500 meters high. Beyond mere accommodation, each tower would function as an entire town unit, with its own schools, hospitals, parks and gardens, sports faculties, business areas and community spaces. The population density of such a tower could help lower the individual energy requirements of each inhabitant, reducing the ecological impact of the population as a whole. The village towers are considered as hollow tubes, with large holes to allow light and air though the entire construction. Occasional floor discs spread throughout the height of the building will give inhabitants large central areas in the middle of the tube to use as gathering spaces. While the building itself is unlikely ever to be seriously considered for construction---imagine the number of elevators it would need, let alone the safety implications of open areas at such heights and with such wind exposure---the concept can serve as conversation-starter for urban planners looking to face the challenges of the current and coming countries. 31. One key challenging task for urban architects in the future is to ______. [A] build new satellite towns [B] work out ambitious plans [C] design less crowded cities [D] accommodate more inhabitants 【答案】D 【解析】由 “One of the key challenges in urban architecture over the next 50 years will be figuring out how to squeeze vast numbers of additional people（如何能够挤下大量的额外人口） into urban areas that are already extremely crowded.”可知，答案为D。 32. Which of the following cities has the largest population density? [A] Cairo. [B]Paris. [C]London. [D] New York. 【答案】A 【解析】由 “In terms of population density, London is one of the least crowded major cities in the world---four times fewer（少四倍） people per square kilometer than Paris, for example, six times fewer（少六倍） than New York and eight times fewer（少八倍） than Cairo.”可知，答案为A。 33. Horizontal expansion not only wastes land, but makes it hard for London to ______. [A] handle its safety problems [B] resolve its transport issues [C] control its population growth [D] measure its population density 【答案】B 【解析】由 “But the fact remains that the city’s population is growing at a rapid rate, and horizontal expansion into the surrounding areas is eating up increasingly important agricultural land, as well as worsening all the transport problems（使得交通问题进一步恶化） that come with urban growth.”可知，答案为B。 34. The vertical tower would represent an entire new town in itself because______. [A] it is energy-saving [B] it is cost-effective [C] it is self-sufficient [D] it is comfort-oriented 【答案】C 【解析】由 “Beyond mere accommodation, each tower would function as an entire town unit, with its own（拥有自己的设施） schools, hospitals, parks and gardens, sports faculties, business areas and community spaces.”答案为C。 35. For city planners today, the idea of building a vertical tower can become______. [A] a topic for fun [B] a shocking reality [C] a modest proposal [D] a source of inspiration 【答案】D 【解析】conversation-starter（打开话匣子）与a source of inspiration（灵感来源）意思相近。 Part B Directions: Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talked about fitness tips for men. For questions 36-40, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A-G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET. John: One of the main differences between a man’s and a woman’s body is that men are generally less capable of bending their body than women. You may think it is not important whether your body can bend easily or not, but it is. Stretching your muscles regularly will help you to move effectively. It can also help you to stay injury-free, relax your muscles and in turn reduce stress. Mike: Doing uninterrupted sessions may make you feel you are doing the best thing for your body. But not giving yourself a break between workouts will mean that you will burn out, and do more harm than good. You should be taking a day off from exercising every two or three days as a minimum ideally. Taking a rest will mean that when you train again you can train harder. Paul: Lots of men fall into the trap of thinking that in order to be better and achieve more, they have to perform all their exercises at a super fast pace. Although it’s true for some exercises, for others this is just not the case. Take weight lifting for example. When lifting slowly, you can increase the amount of time your muscles are tense for and increase the blood flow. David: Some men are terrible for sticking to the same fitness routine, but doing different types of fitness activities means that you work different parts of your body, and by doing this you improve your core strength and your balance. It is often difficult for most men to try new things. If you don’t want to go into a fitness class on your own, take a friend with you. Helen: Women seem to be much better than men at taking a different approach to fitness. They engage physically and mentally with their fitness programs, which has many health benefits. One is that your stress levels can decrease. And some practices of this approach, such as Tai Chi, can improve bone health. To take advantage of these health benefits, find what suits you best from among the many different fitness techniques that are out there. Now match the name of each person (36-40) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. 36. John______ [A]Try to diversify your fitness activities. [B]Body and mind should be engaged in exercising. [C]Slow fitness activities fit men better. [D]Men should take intense sessions frequently. [E]Regular stretching improves body’s flexibility. [F]Workout speed depends on what exercise you do.

[E]Regular stretching improves body’s flexibility. [F]Workout speed depends on what exercise you do.

[G]A regular rest between workouts is necessary. 【答案】A 【解析】关键句：doing different types of fitness activities means that you work different parts of your body从事不同类型的运动意味着锻炼身体的不同部位。与A项“尝试丰富你的运动类型”意思相近。 40.

In October, Brecon and his family travelled to St. Louis to begin treatment. “What Dan did is great.” Brecon;s mother said “It is an extraordinary gift.” 41. ______ [A]I know how it feels to walk.

It seems the nation’s younger citizens are finally favoring the beauty of the natural world over the cries of amateur singers. The BBC has confirmed that the first three episodes of Planet earth Ⅱ have attracted more viewers in the 16 to 34 age group than The X Factor. The best ratings so far were for the second episode, which brought in 1.8 million young viewers compared to The X Factor’s 1.4 million. The show’s narrator, Sir David Attenborough credited improvements in technology with the show’s increased success in its second season, which have brought animals close to the viewer and made their environments look real. “You feel like the camera is with the animals.” said producer Mike Gunton. “It's very active. For example, you see a monkey leaping through the forest. Normally you'll stand back to film that. But here the monkey almost jumps over your shoulder. The camera is running with it. Visually, Planet Earth told you to look down on the Earth and see the scale of the planet. What Planet earth Ⅱ is doing is saying “Let’s get ourselves into the lives of the animals, and see it from their perspective.” “The music of Hans Zimmer is also a big factor,” added Attenborough. “That pleases me enormously.” Besides technology and music, Attenborough said that viewers are “reconnecting with a planet whose beauty is spoiled and whose health is falling.” He believes that young people are learning that their future is linked to that of the environment. 【答案】略 【解析】思路解析：要求总结文章要点并做出评论。总结文章主旨并概括核心要点时，可以对通过措辞对文章进行适当转述。建议在文章中使用以下短语来凸显逻辑性和条理性：based on/according to（基于/依据）；from my point of view（我认为）；to begin with（首先）；secondly（第二）；last but not least（最后但并非最不重要）。
