D 

67題，細節(jié)題，正確答案D。題干中對 “people”提問，對前文現象進行提問。本篇文章是明顯議論文，首段末句是論點，前面是作者要論述的現象。首段第2 句中表達了我每時每刻  都想著完成更多的任務，提高生產效率，做出更多成績，實現更多成就。且本段最后1句論點的意思是對于生產效率的癡迷會越來越摧毀人們的性格，且將人逐漸變成了機器人。其中  “this fixation on productivity”就是在總結上面提到的現象，即過多于生產效率，總想產出  更多的東西，完成更多的任務，做出更多的成績。 因此，在四個選項之中，選項D表示人們迫切地希望去實現更多，取得更多成就，符合文意，因此答案選D。      

68 題，細節(jié)題，正確答案B。劃線詞所在句位置出現在第2段末尾，第2段屬于引用David   Brooks的話再次重申論點，前2句中通過“cultural decline”和“cut off”這樣的關鍵信息再次表明了觀點：對生產效率和成功的過分追求，使得對于性格人格等的關注在下降。而劃線詞所在句子前面部分“the pressure to succeed professionally, to acquire skills”都在講對于成  功和技能的追求，后面部分“and it sort of eclipses the thinking about character and   morality”正是對應論點中人們對于性格和道德等關注下降，即減少對于性格和道德的思考。  若選D則是“強調對于性格的思考”，與文章方向相反，直接排除。若選C則是“惡化對于性格的思考”，而本段前面出現的“decline”和“cut off”都能直接推出答案是“減弱”，因此答案  選B。      

69題，主旨題，正確答案D。在前幾段作者反復論證了自己的論點“過分關注效能、追求成功會使得人們對于性格和精神層面的關注減少”后，本段首句中“rediscovering our human   natures though falling in love”給出了重新關注性格層面的方法，即“through falling in love”，通過愛。下文中提到的“love for a task, job”以及最后的“we need to loves ourselves in what we do, and success will come one its own”都指得是需要對工作充滿愛和投入，這樣成功自然而然會到來。選項D中的“devotion to work”直接符合文意，因此答案選D。     

70題，主旨題，正確答案A。文章中作者始終在論述“人們現在更追求生產效能、一味追求成功，而減少了對性格等的關注”，而作者必然認為“應該關注性格或精神層面”，并在最后一段給出了對應具體做法。因此在四個選項中，“bring awareness”非常準確的概括了作者  的目的，即引起人們對于“character building”的關注，因此答案選A。

七選五

解析：   本文是以“權衡選擇”為核心內容的說明文，難度與 2013 年高考七選五題目基本一致，屬于本次考試中難度偏低的題目，考生只要掌握七選五文章的常規(guī)挖空方式和基本解題方  法，就可以較為輕松的正確作答。   第一段引出文章中心，并說明做選擇是件很難的事情；第二段根據人們如何做選擇，將  人們分成兩類——maximizers和satisficers；第三段至第五段進行maximizers和satisficers  的對比；第六段至第八段說明如何在選擇時減少時間、經歷的浪費，給出兩個具體方向。   

71. 【答案】A   【解析】段首空（非首段），需關注上一段內容和本段下文。上一段將做決定的人分為兩類——maximizers 和 satisficers。根據本段后一句的 they，說明所填句子必須包含  某類人群，符合的選項有A（maximizers），E（satisficers）；再根據后一句中的making the best possible choice，可知與A選項want the best 語義相符。   

72. 【答案】G   【解析】段尾空，需關注本段上文和下一段內容。根據“重點名詞一致”原則，前一句重點提到 jobs，選項中名詞一致的只有 G（salaries，jobs）；且選項種代詞 their 指代前一句種的maximizers。下一段開頭也在探討maximizers。   

73. 【答案】E   【解析】段尾空，需關注本段上文和下一段內容，可知，兩段在進行 maximizers 和satisficers的對比；且根據空前一句：maximizers做出最佳選擇，但不開心；以及下一  段段首句：satisficers 也有高標準，但比 maximizers 更開心；應選擇 E——satisficers  做出好的選擇，并且最終感覺很好。   

74. 【答案】B   【解析】段首空，需關注上一段內容和本段下文。上一段說我們在面對選擇時，如何避免浪費時間精力，因此此處需要具體做法；B、C、D、F 中 B 和 D 為祈使句，再根據  下文 for instance 可知本段為總分結構，且該句中的 narrow your options 與 B 中的  decrease your range of options語義一致。   

75. 【答案】D   【解析】段中空，需關注本段上下文。前一句“一旦作出決定，就要堅持不變”；后一句  “為了限制選項數目，可以設定一個抉擇的時間。”Say所在句為舉例，but之后是重點，強調在限定的時間內迅速做出選擇，而非最合適或最完美的選擇。故選D。另外兩項也  可用排除法，C中的 comparing 與原文內容無關；F中的the other與前文不能形成正確的邏輯搭配。

Writing 1  解析：   本文是一篇應用文，主要內容是告訴收信人一些相關信息，所以該文屬于一種通知類型的文章，需要用到比較通俗和準確的表達方式。首先，要明確行文的框架結構，根據作文主題和要點信息，我們需要在應用文的三段式中體現出通知的相關信息。具體結構分布應該是，首段，要包括對Tom的到來表示歡迎與接待；主體段，即中間段，內容需要包含接待  的具體情況，除了要說明接Tom的確切時間和地點，還要介紹下除夕的活動安排；尾段，主要是對Tom 的到來表示再次的歡迎之情和期待之意。   

想要把本文寫好，除了結構清晰、要點全面以外，所表達的內容要有邏輯性和連貫性，且用好相關詞匯合句型也是很重要的。學生可能會不太清楚“春晚-Spring Festival Gala、鞭炮- firecrackers”等的表達方式，這需要平時的積累。此外，本文中還可以用到一些表達，如be eager to do sth.; tell you the arrangements; drop you into a atmosphere等常用句型。   

要完成該題目的寫作要求，并拿到高分，不僅需要涵蓋各個要點內容，還要在行文中正確運用一些表達事件和情感的短語和句式，使該通知類應用文內容全面的同時，還要體現出對收信人Tom的誠摯歡迎。

范文1：   Dear Tom,     

 How is it going?     

 My family and I are really looking forward to welcoming you to our home for the Spring Festival Eve. I think it best if I meet you at the North-West exit of the Zhongguancun subway station, which is on Line 4, at 4pm on the 18th, February. In the evening we will watch the CCTV New Year’s Gala, make dumplings together and also set off some firecrackers!   

   Cannot wait to enjoy the New Year's Eve together!     

 Li Hua      

范文2：   Dear Tom,

 I will meet you at 4 o’clock on the afternoon of February 18th. You can arrive at northwestern entrance of Zhongguancun Station of Subway Line 4.

Writing 2 解析：   本篇文章屬于弘揚中國傳統(tǒng)文化的文章，和 2013 年海淀二模最后一幅圖畫非常相像，所謂是京味十足。圖畫中南鑼鼓巷，炸醬面，剪紙這些說法非�？简瀸W生的平時積累。    

考生在寫文章的時候關注本文的形式為短文，因而語言要正式，結尾要升華。寫文章務必注意要分段，尤其在結尾要點題以及升華。文章開頭要寫清時間，地點，以及人物，人物是我，來自美國的 Tom 和 Mary，首先來到南鑼鼓巷參觀。其次一起感受美食文化，嘗試到了美味的炸醬面。因為根據觀察圖片是在冬天，所以一起去了后�；�冰，寫的時候要注意  細節(jié)。最后在要離開的時候，看到了剪紙。整個文章中的要點要寫清晰，其次，細節(jié)在每個要點的搭配之下至少需具備1到2個。注意本文和要點和細節(jié)的邏輯關系，要點和細節(jié)搭配要得當，本文是按照時間順序構成的，所有的活動均在一天完成，所以學生在寫文章時要注  意時間狀語的使用。    

本文難度較大，學生需注意日常積累，在之后的備考過程中對于常見場景中的基礎詞匯、深入描寫和句型表達需要長期練習和積累。

范文1：   Last Sunday, I accompanied two of my foreign friends, Tom and Mary, around Beijing so that they could get a feel for the city. We began by touring Nanluoguxiang, which is known for its traditional Chinese architecture. I know the area very well so I acted as their tour guide! For lunch, we tried some Beijing fried sauce noodles. Tom in particular thought that they were delicious. Soon after lunch, we went to Houhai to skate on the frozen lake. Mary skated beautifully while Tom needed my help. We finished off the day by going shopping, and both Tom and Mary bought some paper cuts as   souvenirs. It was a fantastic day and I hope they will come back again soon.      

范文2：   Last Sunday, I accompanied my friends Tom and Mary enjoying the culture of Beijing.    

In the morning, we went to the Nanluoguxiang by subway. Upon arrival, I introduced the old lane which renowned for its long history. In order to memorize the unforgettable moments, we took photos here and there. We walked around for almost morning, we felt tired and decided to have lunch. We found a restaurant of Beijing fried sauce noodles. Tom and Mary spoke highly of Beijing noodles. After finishing the lunch, we enjoyed skating in Houhai on the frozen lake. When we decided to leave, the traditional paper cutting caught our eyeballs. Following the introduction of the local stall keeper, Tom selected the most special cutting from all of the traditional stuff.    

The setting sun was reflected on our body, and we went home. This experience with them undoubtedly improved our friendship and mutual understanding. Actually, it cast me a deeper reflection. As a Chinese, we should appreciate our own culture so as to make these treasures lasting forever.

范文3：   Beijing has always been attracting and interesting many foreigners for its traditional culture and beauty, because of which my American friends Tom and Mary, accompanied by me, did some interesting trips last Sunday.

   When it comes to the most famous Hutong in Beijing, Nanluoguxiang pops into our heads immediately. Upon our arrival in the morning, our friends couldn’t wait to take pictures, while I was introducing the history, culture, and customs of this well-known place. Without consciousness, we spent several hours looking, wandering and shopping there. With lunchtime around the corner, I took them to a restaurant where they could taste the Beijing fried sauce noodles. Tom’s praising words “Yummy”, his big thumb-up and their bright smiles made me overjoyed, satisfied and even a little proud.    

Our afternoon trip began with a popular winter sport – ice-skating in Houhai. Wearing skating shoes, Tom and Mary were in high spirits, skating like flying. Meanwhile, I, skating around them, reminded them of being careful. Tired but thrilled,   we were heading back to school. On the way, Tom and Mary were fascinated with a folk art – paper cutting. Various typical Chinese elements appealed to them deeply.    

Nightfall was approaching. From this experience, I realized that it only took one day to introduce our beautiful hometown, Beijing, it only took one day to strengthen our friendship, and it only took one day to enhance cross-cultural communication.
