The problems with current corporate practices．B. The nature of current marketing campaigns and strategies．C. The importance of brands in American culture．D. The excessive presence of brands and marketing in people's lives．12.What is Naomi Klein's attitude towards the infiltration of brands into public spaces？______A. Concerned．B. Indifferent．C. Favorable．D. Optimistic．13.The passage suggests that most contract laborers in the U．S．______ ．A. pretend to be permanent workersB. may have trouble supporting their families financiallyC. have work conditions comparable to those of low-wage workers overseasD. are likely to receive health benefits from their employers14.We may infer from the last paragraph that ______ ．A. inadequate federal funding facilitated the privatization of schools and museumsB. government reduced spending for schools and museums for their cooperation withcompaniesC. public institutions were only too anxious to accept corporate marketing as a source offundingD. by the 1980s，very few public institutions were not being funded by corporations．【答案】【小题1】D 【小题2】A 【小题3】B 【小题4】C【解析】31．D．主旨大意题．本题主要考查考生对文章大意的把握．文章开篇就点明主题：这是一个"world built around brands"；第二段通过对各类事实的列举（新闻主播穿着耐克牌夹克、麦当劳的餐点进入学校等）说明一些公司过火的市场营销，之后各段围绕此问题展开讨论，总结全文可知应选D项．32．A．观点态度题．本题就第三段内容Our intellectual lives and our public spaces are being taken over by marketing-and that has real implications for citizenship，"says author and activist Naomi Klein提问．作家及行动主义者Naomi Klein 认为我们的公共空间已被市场营销所取代，而公共空间对于一个健康的文化是很重要的，由此可看出，他对该问题很关注，即选项A正确．33．B．推理判断题．答题关键在于理解第五段的最后一句In the United States，contract labor has given rise to so-called McJobs，which employers and workers alike pretend are temporary-even though these jobs are usually held by adults who are trying to support families．文章就破折号后的内容提问．破折号后的内容意思为"尽管打这类工的人都是要设法养家糊口的人"，暗含的意思就是这些人养家糊口可能是有困难的，所以选项B 正确．34．C．推理判断题．首句It's a brand new world-a world built around brands．Hard charging，noise making，culture shaping brands are everywhere指出了在大规模营销活动扩大的同时，政府为学校和博物馆提供的资金减少了，后文接着提到这样导致了这些机构与私企的合作，而私人公司也利用了这一点，可见公共机构只是太急于接受企业的营销作为一个资金来源，故选C．本文是一篇现象解释型文章．文章开头先说明一种社会现象：充满商标的社会．第二、三进一步举例描述这一现象的普遍性及人们的反应．第四段举例介绍了这一现象出现的时间，紧接着第五段描述了这一现象带来的后果，最后一段解释了这一现象产生的原因及影响．考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．BWhen American soldiers return home from war with disabilities，they often suffer twice-first from their combat injuries，next from the humiliation （羞辱）of government dependency．Wounded veterans （老兵）learn they have two basic choices：They can receive almost $3，000 a month in disability benefits along with medical care and access to other various welfare programs，or they can try to find a job．Especially in this economy，it's no wonder that many find that first option hard to turn down．Mark Duggan，an economics professor at Stanford University，reports that enrollment in U．S．veterans'disability programs rose from 2.3 million in 2001 to 3.9 million in 2014．The percentage of veterans receiving benefits doubled，from 8.9% in 2001 to 18% in 2014．Disability services for veterans now consume $59 billion．In the 1980s and 1990s，male veterans were more likely to be in the labor force thannonveterans．But since 2000，that has changed dramatically．Now there is a 4% gap between veteran and nonveteran labor participation，with veteran participation lower．Navy SEAL Eric Greitens，founder of The Mission Continues，explains how soldiers who served their country are transformed into welfare receivers who live off their country．"When veterans come home from war they are going through a tremendous change in identity，"he says．"Then the United States Department of Veterans Affairs，and others，encourage them to view themselves as disabled．"By the time they come to Greitens'non-profit organization，"We meet a number of veterans who see themselves as charity cases and are not sure anymore what they have to contribute．"There are also more practical factors driving the disability boom．One is the expansion of qualification criteria．In 2000，for instance，type 2 diabetes was added as a disability because of evidence linking exposure to Agent Orange with the onset of the disease．Heart disease has also been added to the list．Another possible factor is that younger veterans seem less against welfare than theirparents'generation．Veterans who have served since the 1990s are much more likely to sign up for disability than their older counterparts；1 in 4 younger veterans is on disability versus just 1 in 7 of those over age 54．We shouldn't go back to the bad old days when veterans were afraid to admit weakness．But Lt．Col．Daniel Gade is one of many veterans who think our disability system is harmful，psychologically，to former soldiers．Gade lost his leg in combat in 2005 and now teaches at West Point．He recently gave a talk to disabled veterans at Ft．Carson，in which he urged them to rejoin the workforce．"People who stay home because they are getting paid enough to get by on disability are worse off，"he warned．"They are more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol．They are more likely to live alone．"What a waste of human potential，especially since most veterans on disability still have their prime working years ahead of them when they're discharged （遣退）．We could solve this problem by changing the way we view-and label-veterans with disabilities．As Gade noted in a recent article，"Veterans should be viewed as resources，not as damaged goods．"He recommended that"efforts to help veterans should begin by recognizing their abilities rather than focusing only on their disabilities，and should serve the ultimate aim of moving wounded soldiers to real self-sufficiency．"On a more practical note，the United States Department of Veterans Affairs could reallocate resources to spend more on job training and less on disability．Current placement programs are sadly inadequate．We are good at sending soldiers off to war．Yet when these young men and women return home，they are essentially told，"We'll give you enough for a reasonably comfortable life，but we won't help you find a job．"It is unreasonable that we are condemning thousands of young veterans who served their country to life on the dole （救济金）rather than enabling them to reenter the workforce with the necessary accommodations．15.What do more and more disabled veterans appear to do nowadays？______A. Depend on the government for a living．B. Be treated badly in most workplaces．C. Ask the government for more dole．D. Spend more time on job hunting．16.How does Mark Duggan prove his opinion in the passage？______A. By listing figures．B. By giving examples．C. By performing experiments．D. By analyzing cause and effect．17.What did veterans use to do in the 1980s and 1990s？______A. Refuse to find jobs．B. Be a main labor resource．C. Have much trouble finding jobs．D. Receive many disability benefits．18.One of the reasons why there are more disabled veterans is that ______ ．A. damage from the war is greater than everB. veterans have suffered much more than everC. the scale of disabilities has been broadenedD. older veterans aren't afraid to admit their disability19.In Gade's opinion，the veterans who receive welfare from the government tend to ______ ．A. save more trouble for the governmentB. lead a miserable and unhappy lifeC. increasingly depend on the governmentD. suffer the humiliation of their combat injuries20.What is the author's attitude toward current placement programs？______A. Reasonable．B. Positive．C. Neutral．D. Critical．【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】A 【小题3】B 【小题4】C 【小题5】B 【小题6】D【解析】35．A 推理判断题．从第二段，They can receive almost $3，000 a month in disability benefits along with medical care and access to other various welfare programs，or they can try to find a job．Especially in this economy，it's no wonder that many find that first option hard to turn down对于伤残军人摆在他们面前的有两条路：一是每月可以得到3000美元的伤残津贴，还有医疗和其他福利项目，或者他们可以设法找到工作，尤其是在这个经济时代，毫无疑问许多人认为第一个选择很难拒绝．可知，越来越多的伤残退伍军人选择依靠政府生活．所以答案选A．36．A 推理判断题．从第三段中列出的众多数字veterans'disability programs rose from 2.3 million in 2001 to 3.9 million in 2014；from 8.9% in 2001 to 18% in 2014．；Disability services for veterans now consume $59 billion．；通过这些列举的数字可以推断出是用列举数字的方式来证明自己的观点的，所以答案选A．37．B 细节理解题．根据第四段第一句"In the 1980s and 1990s，male veterans were more likely to be in the labor force than nonveterans"在20世纪80年代和90年代，男性退伍军人比非退伍军人更有可能参加劳动力．可知答案为B．38．C 细节理解题．从第七段"There are also more practical factors driving the disability boom…Heart disease has also been added to the list"可知，伤残认定标准比以往更为宽泛是原因之一．所以答案选C．39．B 推理判断题．从第十段中的"People who stay home because they are getting paid enough to get by on disability are worse off""They are more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol．They are more likely to live alone"那些呆在家里的人，因为他们得到了足够的钱依靠残疾，所以更糟糕的是"他们更容易滥用毒品和酒精，他们更可能独自生活．"可以推断出他们生活的不幸福，所以答案选B．40．D 观点态度题．最后三段，尤其是倒数第三段最后一句"Current placement programsare sadly inadequate"和最后一段中的"It is unreasonable that…"可以看出作者对现行的政策是持批评的态度的．所以答案选D．本文主要介绍了越来越多的美国伤残退伍军人选择依靠政府生活这一现象，并分析了产生这种现象的原因．阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释．考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点．三、阅读七选五（本大题共10小题，共1.0分）Do you always experience tired eyes at an even more frequent rate？What if your eyes are in such a kind of condition？There is no need to worry about it because it is so common nowadays．On the contrary，you should find the factors and then seek some appropriate treatments for them．Some folks don't wish to waste even a second at work，even to blink （眨眼）for a fraction of a second．Staring constantly at the screen can cause stress to one's eyes．Sitting and staring at the television screen for hours can also make the eyes tired．Bookworms love reading and they will make sure they read much more than their bodies can deal with．The desire to finish a book may result in fast reading，without taking breaks，which can lead to tired eyes．Continuous reading in dim light can also cause pressure to the eyes．Decreased water intake and overindulgence （过度放纵）in salt-based junk food items like burgers，pizzas，etc．also play a role in causing tired eyes．These junk food items do not furnish the body with the required essential nutrients，thus causing a lack of vitamins，which also has an effect on tired eyes．Stress at the workplace or at home and a noisy sleeping environment cannot bring enough sleep at night．Lack of sleep causes the eyes to become heavy．Dark circles are also seen to develop if one doesn't get sufficient sleep over a period of time．Even though this condition is not fatal，it is stressful for the health of the body，and must be treated．If not treated on time，the condition can become worse and result in double or blurred vision．Here are some ways to treat the tired eye condition．Every hour during your day at work，spend a minute relaxing your eyes．Look away from your computer screen and roll your eyes in both directions．Try and blink more often．Look around the room or close your eyes for a minute if you want and then work again．Following this every hour will help reduce overall stress on your eyes，and you won't feel so tired after work．Caffeine present in the tea helps relieve tired eyes．Make a cup of hot black tea and pour it into a glass．Hold the glass close to your eyes，so that the vapors from the tea reach your eyes．This may be troublesome，so instead you can also use tea bags to relieve your eyes．Dip two black tea bags in a cup of hot water and once the warmth is bearable place the warm tea bags onto your eyes．This will also make you feel fresh．If your eyes feel extremely tired at work，go to the washroom and wash your face with cool tap water．The cold water will help relieve the tired feeling．Do this every hour during work and21.
