34、[答案][D]the services are paid for by advertisers
[解析]因果细节题。根据题干回文定位到第三段第六句话,其中it is not obvious是题干can hardly protect的同义替换。后文中指出when the users of these services don’t pay for it, 表明这种情况发生的原因是这些服务的用户没有付款,而真正付款的是advertisers,因此正确答案为D。
35、[答案][D] the relationship between digital giants and their users
[解析]观点例证题。根据题干中的关键词ants analogy回文定位到最后一段第二句话。而该例子论证的观点是上一句话,即最后一段的首句,该句指出“他们(Google和Facebook)所销售的商品是数据,而为了这些数据巨头(像Google和Facebook这样的数据信息企业)的利益,作为用户的我们将生活转向数据”,这句话揭示了用户和数据巨头之间的关系,通过数据联系在一起。数据巨头销售数据,用户生活中使用数据。因此正确答案为[D]选项,该例子论证了数据巨头和用户之间的关系。

36、[答案][A] keep to your focus time
[解析]这是一道细节题。注意题干的一一对应,选项进行等价替换。根据题干定位到第二段最后一句。The key is to(题干对应) determine your length of focus time and stick to it(剩余信息为答案)。 对应选项 keep to(stick to)your focus time(your length of focus time)
37、[答案][D] detailed plans may not be as fruitful as expected [解析]根据题干为细节题,考察的是实验结论。The study in the early 1980s cited by Harford shows that, 根据1980s和Harford快速找到定位第四段第二句,那么结论应该在后面,也就是第五段。第五段开头第一句while为让步,看主句部分they were wrong,冒号后面解释说,the detailed daily plans demotivated students。对应D选项,其中的may not be as fruitful对应demotivated。
38、[答案][D] an essential factor in accomplishing any work
[解析]这是一道细节题。根据提干中的关键词,Newport和idleness,回文定位到第6段的Newport和第7段idleness,再结合第7段段末代词he, 考查到代词的指代问题,根据上下文确定此处的he指代Newport,确定第7段引号之内即为作者对于“idleness”的观点,由第7段后半句 idleness is ,paradoxically, necessary to getting any work done得出正确答案为 an essential factor in accomplishing any work,其中essential 是对原文necessary的同义替换,accomplishing any work是getting any work done的同义替换。
39、[答案][B] can bring about greater efficiency
[解析]这是一道人物观点题,根据提干中的关键词,Pillay 回文定位到第8段,再进一步匹配题干中的剩余信息,our brains’ shift between being focused and unfocused定位至第8段段末处,our brains switch between being focused and unfocused,其中shift是switch的同义替换,由后半句 they tend to be more efficient得出正确答案为 can bring about greater effcieny, 是对原文tend to be more efficient的同义替换。
40、[答案][B] approaches to getting more done in less time
[解析]根据题干的特征,这是一道主旨题。文章开篇提出主题,关于“the ability to focus without distraction”, 第二段开头说“a number of approaches”, 提出方法,第四段开头another approach,所以这篇文章重点还是在说方法,所以B选项approaches to getting more done in less time为正确答案。more done in less time对应focus without distraction。
Part B
Part B
41、[答案][A] (Just say it)
[解析]从下方段落中看到I truly believe that once you get that first word out everything else will just flow。 So keep it simple: “Hi”, “Hey” or “Hello”——do the best you can to gather all of the enthusiasm and energy you can, put on a big smile and say “Hi”。 中我们不难发现重复的内容say “Hi”, 也相当于get that first word out, 共同表达的内容就是开口说,故A (Just say it开口说) 与之完美对应。
42、[答案][G] (Ask for an opinion)
[解析]从下方段落中出现So don’t be afraid to ask more personal questions。 Trust me, you’ll be surprised to see how much people are willing to share if you just ask。 中我们不难发现重复的内容ask, 根据复现词我们不难找到G (Ask for an opinion询问看法),与其后的“how much people are willing to share”(人们非常愿意分享)完美对应。
43、[答案][E] (Find the “me too”s)
[解析]从下方对应段落When you meet a person for the first time, make an effort to find the things which you and that person have in common so that you can build the conversation from that point…中我们找到关键词have … in common有共同点。这与E (Find the “me too”s 寻找共同点)完美对应。
44、[答案][B] (Be present)
[解析]从下方对应段落So when someone tries to communicate with you, just be in that communication wholeheartedly。 因此当有人跟你跟你聊天时,要全身心的投入到谈话中,以及后面复现词eye contact进行眼神交流,我们找到B (Be present,在现场,投入当前事件中)能够与之对应。
45、[答案][D] (Name, places, things)
[解析]从下方对应段落…but after some time you may have met again and have forgotten their name。 Isn’t that awkward! …但是之后你可能再次见到时忘记了他们的名字。这不是很尴尬吗?通过反义疑问我们得知:应该要记得名字!而且随后So, remember the little details of the people you met or you talked with; perhaps the places they have been to, the places they want to go, the things they like, the things they hate。因此,请记得你遇到且与之聊过天的这些人的一些小细节,比如他们去过的地方,他们想要去的地方,他们喜欢的以及讨厌的事物等等。从这些内容中我们不难找到与之对应的小标题D (Name, places, things)

Dear Professor Smith,
How have you been recently? I am exceedingly sorry to tell you that although I have promised to visit you this Friday, I have to cancel my travel plan because of the following reason。
Two days ago, I suddenly accepted the notice that there would be an academic meeting this Friday night in our department and everyone was asked to attend。 I know that my changing plan has definitely caused some inconvenience to you。 I am so sorry for my failing to keep the promise of visiting you。 Therefore, in order to make up this situation, I wonder if you could give me another chance and spare some time to meet me next Monday。
I am so sorry for any inconvenience caused by me。 Hope you can accept my apology and arrange a new time for me to visit you。 I am looking forward to your reply。
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
