Section B
36.[J] 对应关键词，题干中提到Chinese officials和scientific research, 定位到J段，此段中同时出现了这两个关键词。
37.[C] 划出关键词efforts, ocean sancturies, Russian’s obstruction, 然后定位到C段，此时看到while Russian frustrated efforts, frustrate=obstruct, 所以跟题干信息匹配。
38.[E] 对应题干中的关键词Russia, America’s dominance(美国的领导地位)，跟E段信息Russia, the dominance of America完全匹配.
39.[G] 题干中有关键词geologist’s estimate,以及oil and natural gas，去文中定位，看到G段的oil and gas, 然后向下找信息，找到了geologist estimate,所以39题为G段的总结。
40.[D] 通过关键词richest reserves, fresh water on earth定位到D段，找到biggest reserve,发现前边有estimate，题干也有动词estimate; 然后看到fresh water on planet， planet=earth, 所以非常确定D为正确选项。
41. [I] 通过关键词demand for energy resources和renegotiate匹配到I选项。
42. [B]题干中提到many countries很多国家彼此之间竞争以增加对南极洲的影响Antarctica，所以定位到B段落.

Section C
Passage One
46. [D]
解析：答案定位在文章段，其中“veteran nicotine addict”直接对应题目中的chain smokers， 而根据that 从句内的 “plays no role in the decision to keep smoking”就可以选出正确选项D：
“香烟的包装对于老烟枪选择戒烟与否而言几乎没有任何影响”。
47. [A]
解析：答案定位在第二段的句及第三段的最后一句：在第二段中，But that is not why the government - under pressure from .... party - has agreed to legislate for standardised packaging. 纵然原句意思为“这并不是政府同意针对香烟的包装立法”;在第三段中“Since tobacco is one of the biggest causes of premature death in the UK, a measure that tames the habits even by a fraction is worth trying”，在英国由于吸烟而导致早产儿大批死亡，英国政府帮这些老烟枪们改变吸烟的嗜好的任何尝试都是值得的;因此，答案就尤为明显了，因此补办选出答案A：“英国政府就香烟包装的标准化通过了法案”。
48. [B]
解析：答案定位在第三段的第三句“this approach has led over time to a fall in smoking numbers having roughly halved since the 1970s. Evidence from Australia suggests plain packaging pushes society further along that road.”这一方法使得吸烟者数量锐减，尤其是在澳大利亚而言，这一方法颇见成效。这样选项B就尤其明显了。
49. [A]
解析：答案定位在第四段“David Cameron’s election campaign........(David Cameron denied...in legislative program me)”及最后一句话中“now we are told Members of .......is dissolved in March”。在特殊符号里“括号”中，首Cameron否认在其顾问在外的经济利益与法案改变之间有联系，并在最后一句中指出将会让国会议员投票。由此答案就尤为明显，可以定位到A选项。
50. [C]
解析：答案定位在第四段的最后一句“his attitude to state intervention... checkouts fueled obesity”，答案由“checkouts fueled obesity”体现：“检测出导致肥胖”。由此，答案选C。
Section C
Passage Two
51. [A]
本题问的是作者的观点。文都英语老师希望大家记住，任何时候，问谁的观点就只能找谁的观点，千万不能偷换主语。像这种观点态度题，一般在文章的结尾出现、或者是通过作者的用词的字里行间来体现。在第三段的段尾指出，研究表明上过大学的学生们不仅在大学里面受益，而且他们通常会比没上过大学的学生更加健康和快乐。从这句话能看出，作者对上大学还是持一种赞成的态度的。所以选A项。
52. [D]
本题根据题干中的专有名词British可以回到原文定位至段，在段的文末，作者说：大学毕业不能保证一个很好的工作，60%的人从事的工作都和他们之前的专业不相关。这和D选项为近义表达。
53. [C]
根据题干中的关键词可以定位至第三段的倒数第二句话，教育是学生在讲座和研讨会之间的互相学习。而讲座和研讨会是在课堂之外的，所以这和C选项的含义相近。
54. [B]
关于上大学的好处，这在第四段的第四句话有提到，“学生在大学里有可能会遇到以后可能会处于领导地位的人”，这和B选项的“遇见那些未来对你会有帮助的人”含义相同。
55. [D]
本题为推理题，切记推理题一定要是自己推理出来的，原文中已有的，或者是推的太远的选项都是不对的。在最后一段的句话中，作者有说“也许为什么许多大学没有教给他们学生许多东西的原因是，他们知道即使学生什么都没有学到，但是在一个优秀学校里学习，就是对未来的一个美好的投资”。这句话的表达和D项含义相近。
Part IV Translation (30minutes)
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese to
English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.
随着生活水平的，度假在中国人生活中的作用越来越重要。过去，中国人的时间主要花在谋生上，很少有机会外出旅行。然而，近年来中国旅游业发展迅速。经济的繁荣和富裕中产阶级的出现，引发了一个前所未有的旅游热潮。中国人不仅在国内旅游，出国旅游也越来越普遍。2016年国庆节假日期间，旅游消费总计超过4000亿元。据世界贸易组织估计，2020年中国将成为世界上的旅游国，在未来几年里将成为出境旅游支出增长上升的国家。
【参考译文】
With the improvement of living standards, vacation is playing an increasingly important role in Chinese people’s life. In the past, Chinese people mainly spent their time on earning a living and seldom did they have the opportunities to travel abroad. However, the recent years has witnessed a fast development of China’s tourism industry. The boom of economy and emergence of the affluent middle class, has triggered an unprecedented tourism boom. Chinese people are not only traveling within China, but traveling abroad is also becoming more and more popular. During the National Day holiday of 2016, the consumption of tourism adds up to more than 400 billion. According to the estimate of the WTO, China will become the country with the largest tourism industry in the world in 2020, and it will become the country with the fastest consumption increase in traveling abroad in the next few years.
【点评】
此次题目考的是常见热点话题旅游热潮，无论从词汇和句子结构来说，对同学们不会造成太大障碍。不过在翻译时，学生们可以尝试使用一些高级的英语句型结构，使自己的翻译更加出彩。比如通过使用抽象名词做主语，把 China’s tourism industry has been developing fast in the recent years.替换为高级结构 the recent years has witnessed a fast development of China’s tourism industry。通过使用倒装结构把People seldom had the opportunities to travel abroad. 换成倒装句seldom did they have the opportunities to travel abroad.
