Part I                    Writing                 (30 minutes)

【参考范文】

Facing the two options, I will choose to take a job in a company. There are mainly two reasons for my choice.

On one hand, I am eager to apply what I’ve learned to practice since I have got so many years’ schooling. Moreover, I am somewhat tired of the “ivory tower” life and ready for the “real world” life, for I assume that I can learn more from getting in touch with society. On the other hand, my family needs my financial support, because my parents are getting older and older and making less and less. Though it doesn’t take much to pursue my further study, I cannot support my parents financially if I choose to go to a graduate school.

To sum up, to take a job in a company meets my desire of learning from practice and support my parents financially, which is a better choice for me.

Part III         Reading Comprehension           (40 minutes)

Section A

26. E) challenge

空前主语为A new study，故此处应选一个动词第三人称单数作谓语，符合的词有E) challenges, M) suggests, 和N) tastes，根据空后questioning，得出该空应填E) challenges 挑战，质疑。

27. J) searched

search for 为固定搭配，意为“寻找，搜索”，所给词汇中只有J) searched符合题意。

28. D) categorizing

空前是介词for，空后为名词brains，再根据后面的内容as “male” or “female”，初步判断该空应该填入动词的-ing形式。浏览选项，只有D)和H) 符合。根据搭配及语义，D)为答案，categorizing…as… 意为“把……分为……”。

29. K) similarities

根据空前的句子“there are some gender-based…”，该空应填入名词复数形式。浏览选项，E), K), N）符合。再根据句意及空格后的句子“不同类型的大脑并不一直由性别区分”，该空应填入K) similarities “相似之处”。

30. L) slightly

空格前为be动词were，后为形容词different，很显然该空的词是来修饰different的，因此应填入副词。结合文意可知，虽然普通男性和普通女性的大脑差别很小，但是通过查看脑部扫描光片也没法对其进行区分。slightly为副词，意为“轻微地，稍微”，所以应填入L）。

31. G) percentage

空格前为形容词small，后为of people，因此应填入名词。结合文意可知，只有一小部分人具备“完全男性”或“完全女性”的特征。percentage意为“百分比”，a small percentage of…意为“一小部分”，所以应填入G）。

32. O) traditional

该空后为名词beliefs, 因此，该空应填入一个形容词，根据文意可知，很多研究都是在质疑“人们对于性别和大脑功能之间关系的传统理解”，因此，该处应选O) traditional传统的。

33. I）regardless

该空考查短语regardless of的含义。根据“他警告不要轻易给出以下结论：所有的大脑都是一样的，不论性别”可知，该空应填入I）regardless, 构成短语regardless of，意为“不管，不顾”。

34. H) proving

a mountain of evidence意为“大量的证据”，proving为现在分词作后置定语修饰evidence。

35. M) suggests

该句中，the study为主语，that引导的宾语从句作宾语，故此空应填入一个动词来作谓语，结合上下文，应选suggests，意为“暗示，表明”。

Section B

36. [I]对应关键词jamming attacks, 和equipment and skill在I段落中同时出现了两个关键词。

37. [D]对应关键词wireless security system, 和conversation在原文中有复现.

38. [J] 选项中wireless security system,和triggering the alarm可以在J选项中找到对应.

39. [F]SimpliSafe, 大写名词很好定位，在加上复现的distinguish，radio interference可以锁定选项F。

41. [H]对应关键词keeps changing

42. [C]对应关键词transmit signals, 和activate.

43. [K]根据选项different measures只在K段落中出现了。
