　　阅读理解Part A

　　Text 1

　　21. 【答案】Middle-class workers

　　【答案设置】原文重现 正确率：90%

　　【答案解析】第二段第二行原句 with the middle class disproportionately squeezed意思是“中产阶级必遭严重排挤”。其中squeezed正好匹配到题干中的most threatened。此外，第三行but之后再次提到middle class，由此可断定答案为 “middle-class workers”。

　　22. 【答案】Issues arising from automation need to be tackled

　　【答案设置】深度推理 正确率：40%

　　【答案解析】此题文章没有明确答案句。但从作者字里行间来看，是想要表达自动化给美国社会带来的问题，继而全文主要篇幅是在从不同方面解决这一问题。所以这个选项最靠近全文主旋律，为正解。

　　23. 【答案】Creative potential

　　【答案设置】原文重现 正确率：85%

　　【答案解析】第四段第二句提到more on creativity and complex communication. 意思说学校教育该更注重培养创新和沟通能力。这与答案完全吻合。

　　24. 【答案】Preventing the income gap from widening

　　【答案设置】原文改写 正确率：80%

　　【答案解析】第六段首句写道 automation threatens to widen the gap between capital income and labor income自动化会拉大资本收益和劳动者收入之间的差距。所以题目问税收政策的目的，那一定是为了缩小差距，选项从反面表述，即“不让差距扩大”。

　　25. 【答案】Possible solutions to it

　　【答案设置】整体概括 正确率：70%

　　【答案解析】这是一道全新的题型，考查作者如何展开文章结构。考生如果能宏观上把握文章作者的思路，不难发现这是典型的“提出问题--解决问题”的篇章结构，答案也就自然选出了。

　　Text 2

　　26. 【答案】Social media as a reliable source of news

　　【答案设置】原文改写 正确率：80%

　　【答案解析】第二段第二句转折词yet之后说到：distrust has risen toward all media年轻人现在都不信任媒体了。原句distrust一词被替换成了题目中cast doubts on ...reliable 是合理的。

　　27. 【答案】Sharpen

　　【答案设置】上下文猜测 正确率：50%

　　【答案解析】上一道题说到年轻人不相信社交媒体，所以他们开始自己去考证新闻的真实性。Beef up这一个词出现在skills的前面，说明一定是对自身技能的训练和提升。其他单词完全不能放在这个语境下构成搭配，意义也不通顺。只能选择sharpen来解释，年轻人对于自身技能的不断提高。

　　28. 【答案】Verify news by referring to diverse sources

　　【答案设置】原文改写 正确率：70%

　　【答案解析】第三段第二句提到The Knight Foundation，答案句是they use “distributed trust” to verify stories. They cross-check sources and prefer news from different perspectives... 他们会搜集各种信息来源，而且从不同的角度证实新闻真实性。原文中的cross-check sources 和different perspectives被综合改写成了diverse sources。

　　29. 【答案】Readers’ misinterpretation

　　【答案设置】原文再现 正确率：90%

　　【答案解析】第五段第三句中说到是reader error, 随机第四句对“读者犯的错误”做出了解释：the problem of fake news lies in “misinterpretation or exaggeration of actual news” via social media. 这题属于原文再现，难度系数较小。

　　30. 【答案】A Rise in Critical Skills for Sharing News Online

　　【答案设置】整体概括 正确率：40%

　　【答案解析】这是一道主旨题，需要考生从宏观上把握全文框架内容， 梳理作者逻辑思路。作者首段说到年轻人不信任社交媒体，表明当今美国社会年轻人具有批判性思维，而且还有独特的方法去考证新闻内容，而且这一趋势越演越烈。所以采集本文关键词“新闻”、“手段”、“不信任”，综合选择正确答案。

　　Text 3

　　31. 【答案】It failed to pay due attention to patients’ rights

　　【答案设置】原文改写 正确率：90%

　　【答案解析】第一段最后一句说到agreement which took far too little account of the patients' rights and their expectations of privacy这里的took far little account 被改写成了答案里的 failed to pay due attention to ，是合理的替换，为正确答案。

　　32. 【答案】necessary adjustments

　　【答案设置】原文改写 正确率：60%

　　【答案解析】第二段第二句提到NHS 。The NHS trust has mended its ways.意思是NHS为了弥补错误，还是做出了一些改进。原文的mend its way被改写成adjustments，是合理的替换，故为正确答案。

　　33. 【答案】The value of data comes from processing of it

　　【答案设置】原文再现 正确率：85%

　　【答案解析】第二段最后一句but转折之后，用了一个强调句式明确指出 it is processing and aggregation, not the mere possession of bits, that gives the data value.让数据有价值的不是拥有数据，而是操作收集数据。

　　34. 【答案】The monopoly of big data by tech giants

　　【答案设置】原文再现 正确率：90%

　　【答案解析】第四段第四句 What matters is that they will belong to a private monopoly which developed them using public resources.表明真正令人担心的是科技巨头们垄断数据。Monopoly为原文生词再现。

　　35. 【答案】Cautious

　　【答案设置】上下文联系 正确率：60%

　　【答案解析】此题需返回首段谈到AI的部分作答。第一段第三句the potential of this work applied to health care is very great, but it could also lead to further concentration of power in the tech giants. 作者既说了这是件了不起的事情，也表达了对未来科技巨头垄断数据的担心。所以综合判断，他的态度应该是谨慎的。

　　Text 4

　　36. 【答案】Its rigid management

　　【答案设置】原文改写 正确率：50%

　　【答案解析】第一段最后一句连环两个超长定语从句，许多考生绕不出来。a regulatory structure that denies management the flexibility to adjust its operations to the new reality 中的denies flexibility表明管理是不灵活的，所以改写成答案里的rigid死板的，完全合理。

　　37. 【答案】the inadequate funding from Congress

　　【答案设置】细节推理 正确率：90%

　　【答案解析】第二段的首句里说邮政行业里的各个群体都在向他们ultimate overseer-Congress请愿，请求国会能够保护他们所依赖的各方面情况。后一句说这就是多年来屡屡尝试改革失败的原因。所以推出导致邮政行业改革失败的原因是国会没有给予支持。而且下文紧接着就开始说国会拨款发展邮政事业改革，综合关键词“钱”“国会”，选择答案。

　　38. 【答案】Removing its burden of retiree health care

　　【答案设置】原文改写 正确率：85%

　　【答案解析】第三段最后一句The latter step would largely offset the financial burden of annually pre-funding retiree health care，其中offset被改写成了remove, 为合理选项。

　　39. 【答案】Discontent

　　【答案设置】上下文联系 正确率：90%

　　【答案解析】此题可以根据四个单词的感情色彩推断，三个均为褒义，只有一个贬义。另外，搜索原文，不难发现frightened, embarrassing, collapse等贬义词在上下文中出现，故推断作者的态度也是贬义的。

　　40. 【答案】The Postal Service Needs More than a Band-Aid

　　【答案设置】全文主题 正确率：40%

　　【答案解析】从全文总体内容来看，是涉及到美国整个邮政行业的改革，USPS只是重点对象，所以可以排除两个选项。继而全文作者都在指出国家司法对于邮政行业的改革中存在的不足和建议，综合判断作者应该是想要呼吁政府出台做出更有利的政策。

　　阅读理解Part B

　　【答案】顺序参照阿拉伯数字

　　① The Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB) commands a unique position in both the national history and the architectural heritage of the United States. Designed by Supervising Architect of the Treasury, Alfred B. Mullett, it was built from 1871 to 1888 to house the growing staffs of the State, War, and Navy Departments, and is considered one of the best examples of French Second Empire architecture in the country.

　　【答案解析】这一段必须是首段，因为第一次提到EFOB这样的缩写字母，必须给出全称。

　　The State, War, and Navy Building, as it was originally known, housed the three Executive Branch Departments most intimately associated with formulating and conducting the nation's foreign policy in the last quarter of the nineteenth century and the first quarter of the twentieth century-the period when the United States emerged as an international power. The building has housed some of the nation's most significant diplomats and politicians and has been the scene of many historic events.

　　② The history of the EEOB began long before its foundations were laid. The first executive offices were constructed between 1799 and 1820. A series of fires (including those set by the British in 1814) and overcrowded conditions led to the construction of the existing Treasury Building. In 1866, the construction of the North Wing of the Treasury Building necessitated the demolition of the State Department building.

　　【答案解析】年份线索。按照全文的年份来排序，这个应该在最前面。

　　③ In December of 1869, Congress appointed a commission to select a site and prepare plans and cost estimates for a new State Department Building. The commission was also to consider possible arrangements for the War and Navy Departments. To the horror of some who expected a Greek Revival twin of the Treasury Building to be erected on the other side of the White House, the elaborate French Second Empire style design by Alfred Mullett was selected, and construction of a building to house all three departments began in June of 1871.

　　【答案解析】上文最后一句demolition意思是摧毁国会大楼，于是本段开头说到，国会又重新选址重现新国会大楼，逻辑和年份均吻合。

　　Construction took 17 years as the building slowly rose wing by wing. When the EEOB was finished, it was the largest office building in Washington, with nearly 2 miles of black and white tiled corridors. Almost all of the interior detail is of cast iron or plaster; the use of wood was minimized to insure fire safety. Eight monumental curving staircases of granite with over 4,000 individually cast bronze balusters are capped by four skylight domes and two stained glass rotundas.

　　④ Completed in 1875, the State Department's south wing was the first to be occupied, with its elegant four-story library (completed in 1876), Diplomatic Reception Room, and Secretary's office decorated with carved wood, Oriental rugs, and stenciled wall patterns. The Navy Department moved into the east wing in 1879, where elaborate wall and ceiling stenciling and marquetry floors decorated the office of the Secretary.

　　【答案解析】顺接上文年份，自然是1875年，而且上文说的是建筑时长，按照逻辑，这段应该是落成，completed 正好吻合。

　　⑤Many of the most celebrated national figures have participated in historical events that have taken place within the EEOB's granite walls. Theodore and Franklin D. Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon B. Johnson, Gerald Ford, and George H. W. Bush all had offices in this building before becoming president. It has housed 16 Secretaries of the Navy, 21 Secretaries of War, and 24 Secretaries of State. Winston Churchill once walked its corridors and Japanese emissaries met here with Secretary of State Cordell Hull after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

　　【答案解析】本题可以采用排除法。逻辑上，已经落成的建筑，下面就应该说建筑里面的摆放，如历史人物等等。

　　阅读理解Part C

　　【参考译文】

　　46. 在莎士比亚出生之前，欧洲的宗教戏剧已逐渐衰败。在古典喜剧和悲剧的共同推动下，一种新的戏剧形式产生了。

　　47. 但凡念过文法学校的人都知道，戏剧是一种文学形式，它曾给希腊和罗马带去荣耀，也可能给英国带来荣光。

　　48. 但是，那些专业剧团凭借其常驻剧院而兴隆。于是才华横溢的大学生也很快瞄准了剧院，把其当作解决生活温饱的地方。

　　49. 本土文学戏剧诞生了，它与公共剧院的密切联系也建立了，至少一些伟大的文学戏剧传统开始传承。

　　50. 为了了解戏剧活动曾有多么伟大，我们要知，在历史的进程中，大量的剧本流失了，甚至没有一位名家的剧本得以完整保留。
