解析

D1

1. D. 根据If it can be enjoyed by non-Americans, this is because Thoreau set out to find what the basic principles of life are, no matter where we’re from可知A错误，而D项正确。其他两项与原文不符。

2. C. 根据“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.” This is the major theme of the book. He hoped nature could be his guide and his teacher可知C项最接近全文的主旨。

3. B. 纵观全文，作者介绍了《瓦尔登湖》一书的主旨，分析了它为何在全世界近200年来深受读者喜爱的原因。

D2

1. D. 根据Last week I had a holiday from work, but none of my friends had the same week off可知D项正确。

2. C. 根据Experiences are often more enjoyable if they are shared, and part of the fun of traveling is the memories you have afterwards可知C项正确。根据Instead of relying on someone else to remember directions or to suggest activities to do, I discovered my independence and developed map-reading skills that I didn't know I had可知B项错误。

3. C. 前文提到的Being in the safe environment of a hostel with like-minded travelers also gives a great opportunity to meet new people from all over the world与后文的loneliness是正反相对的关系，因此combat表示“对抗”的含义。

4. B. 根据Would I be lonely? Would I be bored? Quite the opposite和后文的活动可知作者是一个富有激情的人，对生活充满了好奇心。而后文独自旅行的经历和I discovered my independence的表述也印证了作者独立自主的个性。

D3

1. D. 根据According to a study by researchers at Murdoch and Griffith Universities, Australia, using mobile phones late at night could harm teenagers’ sleep and lead to an increased risk of mental health problems可知D项正确。

2. B. 根据Lynette Vernon, lead author of the study, explained that phones affect our sleep patterns because of the unnatural blue light they produce. This light could affect the level of hormones in the body, disrupting its balance可知B项正确。

3. B. 前文提到了父母要做孩子的榜样a role model，因此此处实质家庭内手机的使用管理要常态化，成为一种规律和习惯。

4. C. 纵观全文，探讨了晚上使用手机对青少年学生睡眠和精神健康的负面影响。因此C项正确。

D4

1. C。由第一段的“Those statements made my blood boil, but also prompted (促使) me to decide to stay in Florida and begin my career here.”可知，很多人都认为作者应该去纽约发展，在弗罗里达不会有所成就，而这些建议不但没有敦促作者前往纽约，反而让她坚定了呆下来发展的决心，故选C。make one’s blood boil意思是“让某人怒发冲冠，火冒三丈”。

2. B。由第三段的“I started assuming more and more tasks and discovering things I liked and excelled in. I continued to ask for more responsibilities, and before I knew it, I was leading meetings, directing support staff and flourishing (蓬勃发展) in my position.”以及第四段的“In the end, all of my hard work and dedication (敬业) paid off.”可推知B为正确答案。

3. D。从作者的成功经历以及最后一段的“I have overcome many stereotypes (刻板印象) of my generation with my hard work ethic (职业道德) and positive attitude.”可以推知，作者通过自身经历想要告诉读者，积极的工作态度，努力拼搏终会有所回报，即使在小城市也一样可以取得成功，所以D为正确答案。

听力原文

Many great women have changed the world, and the way the world sees women. This month, the BBC made a list of the women who have had the biggest influence on female lives over the past 70 years. Margaret Thatcher, former leader of the United Kingdom, topped the list.

Thatcher was the first female prime minister of the UK (1979-90). Thatcher did many things she thought were good for Britain. She sold off many state industries, such as British Telecom, British Gas and British Airways, to make markets more free. Her strong will led to her nickname, the Iron Lady.

Not everyone liked the Iron Lady. Many said that she was a heartless leader who kicked the weak out onto the streets and let the rich become too rich. However, whether people love or hate her, Thatcher’s influence on Britain was great, according to the BBC.

There are seven women on the list, including US singer Beyonce. She enjoys her status as a global beauty and music icon (偶像). But to people’s surprise, the BBC chose to honor a fictional character - Bridget Jones, from the novel Bridget Jones’s Diary (《BJ单身日记》).

Bridget Jones is a lonely and worried single woman. She has an ordinary job and some bad habits, like overeating. But she is also funny and kind. The character “gave permission for our own imperfections ... We still have huge image issues in this country,” explained Emma Barnett, the leading judge behind the list.

The list includes women of different experiences and ages, according to Barnett. “We hope the list inspires, educates and shines a light on the work of some women who history may already be starting to forget,” she said.
