　　51. A. allowing

　　52. G. increasingly

　　53. B. avoidable

　　54. K. prevent

　　55. L. principle

　　56. C. briefly【解析】

　　47. 答案：H. lowest

　　【解析】：

　　根據上下文可以判斷需要選擇一個形容詞來修飾risk，根據句子意思，需要選擇lowest“最低的”，句子的意思是：人人都知道怎么步行，并且步行受傷的風險最低。因此正確答案為H. lowest。

　　48. 答案：J. maximum

　　【解析】：

　　根據上下文可以判斷需要選擇一個形容詞來修飾maximum，根據句子的意思，需要選擇maximum“最大的”，句子的意思是：為了從步行中獲得最大的收益……。因此正確答案為J. maximum。

　　49. 答案：D. component

　　【解析】：

　　根據上下文可以判斷需要選擇一個名詞來與important搭配，根據句意判斷strength training力量訓練應該是physical activity體育活動的一個組成部分，所以要用component“部分、成分”。因此正確答案為D. component。

　　50. I. maintain

　　【解析】：

　　根據上下文可以判斷需要選擇一個動詞原型與build做并列成分，根據句意“力量訓練的目的是為了增強和____骨骼和肌肉質量”，所以選擇maintain“維持”符合文意。因此正確答案為I. maintain。

　　51. 答案：A. allowing

　　【解析】：

　　根據上下文可以判斷需要選擇現在分詞引導伴隨狀語，根據上一句“一般而言，你會想要每周做兩到三次力量訓練”，而這么做會使你在訓練之間有恢復期，所以選allowing“允許，使(可能)”符合文意。因此正確答案為A. allowing。

　　52. 答案：G. increasingly

　　【解析】：

　　根據上下文可以判斷需要選擇副詞修飾形容詞important，而根據句子的意思可以得知“隨著年齡的增長，柔韌性和平衡感訓練愈發重要”，所以increasingly符合文意。因此正確答案為G. increasingly。

　　53. 答案：B. avoidable

　　【解析】：

　　根據上下文可以判斷需要選擇形容詞作為be動詞are后面的表語，由上文可知經常性肌肉緊張和關節僵硬，這些是可以通過運動避免的，所以avoidable“可避免的”符合文意。因此正確答案為B. avoidable。

　　54. 答案：K. prevent

　　【解析】：

　　根據上下文可以判斷需要選擇動詞原形，該句話中的these指代上文的“經常性肌肉緊張和關節僵硬”，下文中提到“通過讓肌肉更強壯和使關節潤滑”，可知動詞應該為prevent“預防，阻止”。因此正確答案為K. prevent。

　　55. 答案：L. principle

　　【解析】：

　　根據上下文可以判斷需要選擇名詞與general“一般的，大體的”搭配，根據后文可知選擇principle“原則”。因此正確答案為L. principle。

　　56. 答案：C. briefly

　　【解析】：

　　根據上下文可以判斷需要選擇副詞來修飾動詞stretch“伸展”，根據句意“只要身體保持某個姿勢有一定時間了，用反向的姿勢稍微伸展一下身體是很有用的”。可知briefly“短暫地;簡要地”符合文意。因此正確答案為C. briefly。

　　Section B

　　Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.

　　Passage One

　　Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.

　　Junk food is everywhere. We’re eating way too much of it. Most of us know what we’re doing and yet we do it anyway.

　　So here's a suggestion offered by two researchers at the Rand Corporation: Why not take a lesson from alcohol control policies and apply them to where food is sold and how it’s displayed?

　　"Many policy measures to control obesity (肥胖癥)assume that people consciously and rationally choose what and how much they eat and therefore focus on providing information and more access to healthier foods," note the two researchers.

　　"In contrast," the researchers continue, "many regulations that don't assume people make rational choices have been successfully applied to control alcohol, a substance -- like food -- of which immoderate consumption leads to serious health problems."

　　The research references studies of people’s behavior with food and alcohol and results of alcohol restrictions, and then lists five regulations that the researchers think might be promising if applied to junk foods. Among them:

　　Density restrictions: licenses to sell alcohol aren't handed out unplanned to all comers but are allotted (分配)based on the number of places in an area that already sell alcohol. These make alcohol less easy to get and reduce the number of psychological cues to drink.

　　Similarly, the researchers say, being presented with junk food stimulates our desire to eat it. So why not limit the density of food outlets, particularly ones that sell food rich in empty calories? And why not limit sale of food in places that aren’t primarily food stores?

　　Display and sales restrictions: California has a rule prohibiting alcohol displays near the cash registers in gas stations, and in most places you can’t buy alcohol at drive-through facilities. At supermarkets, food companies pay to have their wares in places where they're easily seen. One could remove junk food to the back of the store and ban them from the shelves at checkout lines. The other measures include restricting portion sizes, taxing and prohibiting special price deals for junk foods, and placing warning labels on the products.

　　注意：此部分試題請在答題卡2上作答。

　　【總評】這是一篇討論控制垃圾食品消費的議論文。文章介紹了Rand公司兩位研究人員的建議：即借鑒控酒措施的經驗，對售賣此類食品的地點和方式進行控制。文中具體介紹了這么做的原因以及一些具體條例。

　　57. What does the author say about junk food?

　　A) People should be educated not to eat too much.

　　B) It is widely consumed despite its ill reputation.

　　C) Its temptation is too strong for people to resist.

　　D) It causes more harm than is generally realized.

　　答案：C . Its temptation is too strong for people to resist.

　　【解析】推理題。由關鍵詞Junk food定位至文章第一段。由“Junk food is everywhere. We're eating way too much of it. Most of us know what we're doing and yet we do it anyway.(垃圾食品無處不在，這樣的食品我們吃得實在是太多了，我們大多數人都知道我們在做什么，但是我們還是在這么做)”可知，垃圾食品對人們的誘惑實在是太強了，以至于人們無法抵擋。選項B中的“ill reputation”在文中沒有提到，所以，正確答案為C。

　　58. What do the Rand researchers think of many of the policy measures to control obesity?

　　A) They should be implemented effectively.

　　B) They provide misleading information.

　　C) They are based on wrong assumptions.

　　D) They help people make rational choices.

　　答案：C. They are based on wrong assumptions.

　　【解析】推理題。由關鍵詞policy measures, obesity定位至文章第三段。文中提到“Many policy measures to control obesity (肥胖癥)assume that people consciously and rationally choose what and how much they eat (很多控制肥胖癥的政策都是假定人們能夠有意識、理智地選擇吃什么、吃多少)”，而第四段中進一步提到“In contrast… many regulations that don't assume people make rational choices have been successfully applied to control alcohol(那些沒有假定人們會作出理智選擇的規章條例在控酒方面取得了成功)”。由此可以推知，很多控制肥胖癥的政策措施都是基于錯誤的假設前提的，所以，正確答案為C。

　　59. Why do policymakers of alcohol control place density restrictions?

　　A) Few people are able to resist alcohol’s temptations.

　　B) There are already too many stores selling alcohol.

　　C) Drinking strong alcohol can cause social problems.

　　D) Easy access leads to customers' over-consumption.

　　答案：D. Easy access leads to customers' over-consumption.

　　【解析】推理題。由關鍵詞density restrictions，obesity定位至文章倒數第三段。由“These(即density restrictions) make alcohol less easy to get and reduce the number of psychological cues to drink.”可知，因為購買的途徑很簡單的話會導致消費者過度消費。所以要頒布這樣一項限制措施，就是為了減少人們購買酒類飲品的數量。所以，正確答案為D。

　　60. What is the purpose of California’s rule about alcohol display in gas stations?

　　A) To effectively limit the density of alcohol outlets.

　　B) To help drivers to give up the habit of drinking.

　　C) To prevent possible traffic jams in nearby areas.

　　D) To get alcohol out of drivers’ immediate sight.

　　答案：D. To get alcohol out of drivers’ immediate sight.

　　【解析】推理題。由關鍵詞California定位至文章最后一段。Display and sales restrictions: California has a rule prohibiting alcohol displays near the cash registers in gas stations, and in most places you can’t buy alcohol at drive-through facilities. At supermarkets, food companies pay to have their wares in places where they're easily seen. One could remove junk food to the back of the store and ban them from the shelves at checkout lines.關鍵詞display，由此可知主要強調要把垃圾食品淡出人們的視線。所以，正確答案為D。

　　61. What is the general guideline the Rand researchers suggest about junk food control?

　　A) Guiding people to make rational choices about food.

　　B) Enhancing people’s awareness of their own health.

　　C) Borrowing ideas from alcohol control measures.

　　D. Resorting to economic, legal and psychological means

　　答案：C. Borrowing ideas from alcohol control measures.

　　【解析】細節題。由關鍵詞Rand researchers定位到第二段。文中提到“So here's a suggestion offered by two researchers at the Rand Corporation: Why not take a lesson from alcohol control policies and apply them to where food is sold and how it's displayed? take a lesson即borrow ideas，由此可知，Rand公司的研究人員建議借鑒控酒措施的經驗，所以，正確答案為C。

　　Section B Passage 2

　　【總評】本文為我們分析了柯達公司雖然看到了市場前景，但是并沒有在戰略上把握機會，等意識到錯誤時，已經為時已晚，并最終走向衰敗。對于一出生就接觸各種數碼產品的考生來說，柯達也許是個并不熟悉的企業，這或許會對閱讀帶來一定影響。而且本文也有不少商務用語，如strategy(戰略，策略)、sponsorship(贊助)，及一些關鍵詞如anticipate(預期、預計)等，難度并不算小。所以平時對于詞匯的積累是快速理解閱讀內容的關鍵。

　　62. B. It's approaching its downfall.

　　【解析】細節題。從全文第一句中的bankruptcy (破產) 以及第二段第一句Although many attribute Kodak's downfall to "complacency"... 可知柯達已經衰落了。所以正確答案為B。

　　根據第全文第一句…a sad, though not unexpected turning point… 可知柯達的衰敗，是早有預期的，而不是突然的，排除答案A. It went bankrupt all of a sudden;

　　根據第一段最后一句... but ultimately failed to adapt to the digital revolution可知柯達最終沒有適應數字革命，排除答案C. It initiated the digital revolution in the film industry;

　　根據第一段內容，dominate用的是過去分詞形式，即柯達在膠卷市場占主導地位是過去的事實，而非現今，排除答案D. It is playing the dominant role in the film market.

　　63. A. To show its early attempt to reinvent itself.

　　【解析】推理題。柯達發明第一臺數碼相機的例子出現在第二段，該段一開始指出很多人將柯達的衰敗歸結于柯達的自滿，但是這個解釋并沒有承認柯達在自我改造上做出的努力。接下來作者用柯達發明了第一臺數碼相機來例證柯達在reinvent上的嘗試。所以正確答案為A。

　　答案C. To show its quick adaptation to the digital revolution.與第一段最后一句ultimately failed to adapt to the digital revolution. 相沖突，且發明了第一臺數碼相機并不足以說明其順應了數碼革命。

　　64. D. They are deeply stuck in their glorious past.

　　【解析】細節題。根據題干關鍵詞large companies和switch定位到第四段最后一句Large companies have a difficult time switching to new markets because there is a temptation to put existing assets into the new businesses. 根據此句可知，大公司不能進入新市場的原因是他們在開創新業務的過程中，依然不愿放棄現有的優勢。接來下第五段用柯達的事例繼續闡釋了這句話的含義，即 too rooted in the successes of the past for it to make the clean break necessary to fully embrace the future，沉溺于過去的輝煌，而不能完全擁抱未來。所以正確答案為D. They are deeply stuck in their glorious past.

　　65. A. A burden.

　　【解析】細節題。根據第五段最后一句話Their history was so important to them. Now their history has become a liability.可知柯達的歷史已成自身發展的負擔。burden是對liability的同義轉換。所以正確答案為A。

　　66. C. Its refusal to sponsor the 1984 Olympics.

　　【解析】細節題。最后一段第一句說柯達在過去幾十年間的衰敗是戲劇性的。之后通過一個個例子來舉例說明。從文中Kodak’s decision not to pursue the role of official film for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics was a major miscalculation.可知柯達犯的主要錯誤是沒有贊助1984年的奧林匹克。而對手富士拿到了競標，并由此贏得了市場上的永久立足點。所以正確答案為C。
