D1 1-4 BDAC
D2 1-4 CBDB
D3 1-3 DBC
D4 1-4 BDCA
D5 1-5 EGABD
解析
D1
1. B。由第二段“At 15, he began to plan a gap year to relieve his itch for adventure. As part of this, he decided to hike the A.T.”可知B项正确。
2. D。由第六段“Sometimes, the hardest thing for me to do was to enjoy myself”可知，对于作者来说最困难的事是充分享受旅行的过程，所以D正确。
3. A。前面提到了对于作者来说最困难的事是充分享受旅行的过程，由“but once I did”可知，这里表示转折，一旦作者做到了，小径就变得______，根据语境可知breeze的意思应该与hard意义相对，所以答案为A。
4. C。由第四段“To celebrate the finish of his five-month hike, Pitts’ family climbed to the summit of Spring Mountain in Georgia to greet him.”以及最后一段话“What a better time to explore when you’re young?”可知Pitts的父母对他的间隔年计划是持支持态度的。
D2
1. C。根据后文内容可知作者在此处提到各国都有一些被其他国家的人所诟病的食肉习惯，进而引出了澳大利亚人吃袋鼠肉和鸸鹋蛋的习俗。
2. B。由第二段可知袋鼠在澳大利亚地位 重要 ，所以A不对；根据文章提到的“One of the reasons people eat kangaroo meat is because it’s high in protein and low in fat. This means that eating kangaroo is a good option for anyone on a diet.”以及“The BBC also reported that Australian scientists believe that eating kangaroo meat is good for the environment – kangaroos have different digestive (消化) systems than cows and sheep, meaning they produce less methane (甲烷), the second biggest contributor to global warming. ”可知D不对，B正确。第二段提到了“Aboriginal tribes (部落) still hunt these animals for their meat, fur and fat.”，但并没有提到袋鼠因此而面临灭绝，所以C不对。
3. D。根据最后一句You can then carve (雕刻) beautiful designs in the egg. 可知鸸鹋蛋壳可以用于雕刻，非常适合艺术创作。
4. B。纵观全文可知，作者介绍了澳大利亚人吃袋鼠肉和鸸鹋蛋的习俗，作者是支持这个习俗的。她认为这是一种环保健康的饮食方式，故选B。
D3
1. D。由第三、四段可知，微软小冰相比其他人工智能助手的一个优势是，她能原创诗歌，所以答案为D。
2. B。由第六段的“Most of the poems are indistinguishable (难区分的) from those written by humans, and XiaoIce’s book even got good feedback (反馈) from experts.”可知B为正确答案。第五段提到了科学家先让微软小冰先学习了500多名有影响力的现代诗人的诗歌，而A选项表达内容文中没有提及，故不对。由第三段的“Indeed, if you asked nicely, she could read you a poem from her new weekly column in West China City Daily.”可知C选项的monthly不对；由第六段的“This led to her figuring out a writing style of her own and creating over 70,000 original poems, with 137 used to produce the book.”可知D不对。
3. C。由倒数第三段可以推知C 为正确答案。A选项文中没有提及；倒数第二段提到了“Last year, Google’s Parsey McParseface made some poems of its own, although they were branded “miserable (令人不快的)” and “mournful (使人忧郁的) ” by reviewers.”这里形容的是谷歌的产品，所以B选项不对。D选项文中也没有提及。
D4
1. B。根据文章第三段可知，作者希望女儿去私立学校的原因是自己认为私立学校可以提供更好的教育，因此答案为B。A项，女儿有奖学金只是为去私立学校这件事提供了可能性，并非作者主观希望的原因；B项是作者女儿获得奖学金之后的结果，并非作者希望女儿去私立学校的根本原因；D项作者害怕女儿的天赋被浪费在公立学校，并非事实。
2. D。根据文章，关于送女儿去私立学校还是公立学校这件事，作者挣扎了很长时间，考虑了各方面的因素，包括自己工作的牺牲，家庭的影响等等，最终选择去公立学校这一最能平衡各方面因素的选择，因此答案为D，公立学校对她的家庭来说是最平衡的选择。A项作者只是表达在私立学校上学也不一定能有高收入，并非私立学校完全不能保证高收入；B项文中未提及；C项作者如果尽最大力工作，还是能够负担得起学费，但她不愿意为此放弃自己的梦想。
3. C。根据文章第12和13段可知，做了这个决定后，作者和女儿都很满意，因此答案为C，同时排除A、B两项；D项与文章意思不符。
4. A。最后一段，作者强调家庭教育的重要性，认为比起在学校中学的知识，家庭的熏陶和影响对一个人的作用更大，因此答案为A。B项，根据原文，作者强调的是“lessons from my childhood home”，即在家所学的东西不容易忘记，而在学校学的数学知识等已经不记得了，因此B项错误；C项原文未提及；D项并非作者最后一段想表达的主要观点。

W: Hi. Thanks for coming today; it’s nice to meet you.
M: Thank you.
W: To begin with, why don’t you tell us a bit about yourself?
M: OK. Well, I’ve always been interested in teaching in a language program like this, and uh, I graduated with a degree in English and psychology eight years ago, and then I landed my first job overseas in Japan.
W: That’s pretty impressive. What did you do there? What kind of work?
M: I worked full time for a private language school in Tokyo for the first two years, and then I found a job at a community college.
W: Why did you return to the United States? How long have you been back?
M: One of my former students opened a sushi restaurant in town and asked me to work with him. I came back about a year ago.
W: Really? What’s the name of the restaurant?
M: It’s called Flying Sushi - I work there two nights a week. I’ve also been working as a therapist at a treatment center for teenagers struggling with depression and other mental health disorders.
W: You have such a wide range of experience. Uh, you know, to be honest, we have 15 people who are applying for this position. You’ve got quite a background, but why don’t you tell me three reasons why you would be the best person for this job.
M: Um, well, first of all, I understand that different students have different learning styles, and for that reason, I’ve used iPads, video, music, cooking, drama, and games to reach every student. And second, I have a background in academic and psychological counseling and advising skills that are often needed when working with international students.
W: Yes, that could be really useful.
M: Yeah, so you know, many of them struggle with emotional confusion with, you know, home sickness…
W: Good. So, what would you say would be a third reason?
M:I speak five different languages… That’s also what makes me suitable for the position.
W: Five? What languages do you speak?
M: Well, I speak Spanish, Portuguese, and Japanese at an advanced level. I also speak Arabic at a high-intermediate level, and English, of course.
W: That’s very impressive. Uh, what we’re doing . . . we’re going to have two rounds of interviews, and we’ll contact you on Friday and let you know whether or not you’ll be coming back for the second round.
M: OK, great. It’s been really nice meeting you, and thanks for your time.
听第十段材料，回答第18至第20题。
What will our planet be like in 2050? Around the world, people are living longer and staying healthier. People in economically rich societies are having fewer children. For example, in the United States in 1980, people over 65 made up only 11.3 percent of the total population. In 2050, they’ll make up over 22 percent. In the 1950s, average families had 4.8 children. Now, the average family has less than one.
The aging population in the US is going to affect the job market a great deal. Health and entertainment industries will need many more workers to provide services for older Americans. Jobs in education, especially adult education, will be increasing, too, as these older Americans are probably going to go back to school again and again.
With fewer children, who’ll do the jobs of the future? Will job competition decrease, while competition for workers increases? That will depend a great deal on immigration, especially if US citizens have fewer children.
