【解题导语】文章用插叙顺序的主线，通过一位中年女士对20年前一次科学课程的回忆，从侧面揭示出教育如何让人的生活更加成功。本文蕴含了对教育方式与方法的讨论。
36.【答案】C
【解析】考查名词，本段上文出现了名词education (教育)，下一段中出现了professor和jar, 貌似是教授在做实验，于是选择c。而文章在最后一句说“and I haven’t gone near science since.”也印证了选择education(教育)。
37.【答案】D
【解析】考查动词词组，根据动作的先后顺序，教授把阔口罐放在桌子前应该已经在讲堂里了，于是排除A、B; get through的含义从介词through,是通过、穿过的意思，那么自然不靠谱，最终选择D, March into含义是“行军、走过”。
38.【答案】B
【解析】考查动词，根据后文wildly wrong guesses的提示，选择B。
39.【答案】
【解析】考查动词，该动做的发出者是the professor，那么教授对大家的猜测只能是听到，选择D。
40【答案】C
【解析】考查形容词，修饰名词answer，实验是教授做的，那么他说出的数目自然是正确的。
41【答案】A
【解析】考查动词，该动作是学生对课程做出的，那么自然是在学习课程，选择A。
42【答案】选择B
【解析】考查动词，根据上面的叙述，显然教授想说的是不要相信自己的感觉，于是选择B。
43【答案】D
【解析】考查名词，本段开始用了“二十年后”作为开头，说明叙事一直是连贯的，而自首段提出本文叙述的任务就是the woman，选择D。
44【答案】C
【解析】考查动词，教授会对自己做出的动作首先不会是“尊重”和“服务”，排除B、D无关选项。而根据后句的说明，邀请学生开始一次兴奋的航程去为之世界，这是他自己认为的事情。Describe（描述）是与后文中该与确定的事实连用，而对此处显然不适用。选择C。本题难。
45【答案】A
【解析】考查名词，学生对未知世界开启的是一次航程，而非“运动”、“改变”亦或者“匆忙冲进”，
于是选择A
46【答案】B
【解析】考查名词，解题关键是invisible,并且给出了中文注释。中文注释是必须关注的，给出中文注释的词未必是大家不认识的，但必须是解题的关键，本题就是完全的体现，对于什么而言是无形的，形状自然是眼睛看到的，于是选择B本题难。
47【答案】D
【解析】考查名词，因为我们说过三段开始由“二十年后”引出，说明前后段逻辑紧密，而前一段说明的事情是我们不能相信自己的感觉做科学，于是本题中能够发现那个肉眼无法识别的无形未知世界的绝不是“感觉”或者“精神”，排除B、C；而model的含义是“模型”，显然的无关选项，排除；最终选择D，科学的方法。
48【答案】A
【解析】考查动词，even是一个强烈的递进关系词，那么根据语义，相比不能接受这些邀请更加强烈的情况是不去听这些邀请。
49【答案】B
【解析】考查动词，女孩十七岁，正是刚开始认识世界的年纪，选择B.
50.【答案】A
【解析】考查动词，与之相关的是后局的内容：“她的第一感觉会是正确的”，对这件事情她没有“证明”或者“解释”，自然可排除C、D，无关选项，而她对自己的第一选择是绝对的相信的。
51.【答案】C
【解析】考查名词，女孩认为第一感觉是正确的。选D。growth成长strength力量faith信念。
52．【答案】C
【解析】考查形容词，教授使女孩认为第一感觉是错误的。
53.【答案】B
【解析】考查名词，为了知道未知世界，我手中唯一的是工具，于是选择B。其他选择项不合理。
54.【答案】C
【解析】考查形容词，and提示文章此处是并列关系，而与感觉渺小并列的是感觉害怕，cruel的含义是“残忍的”，语义自然不合适，排除。
55.【答案】A
【解析】考查动词，被教授伤害后，我对这个科目能做的动作显然不是“开始学习”或者“通过”，
于是排除B、C；而missed的含义是“失去”，无关选项；选择A，“放弃”。
阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
In March 2008，Joe Ryan got a notice from a billing agency for a hospital near Denver, Colorado. The hospital wanted payment for surgery totaling $ 41,188. Ryan had never set foot in that hospital. Obviously there was some mistake. “I thought it was a joke,” says Ryan.
But when he called the billing agency，nobody laughed. Someone, who ’ s also named Joe Ryan, using Ryan's Social Security number, had indeed been admitted for surgery. He figured clearing this up would take a just few phone calls.Two years later, Ryan continues to suffer from the damage to his credit rating and still doesn’t know if his medical record has been cleared of wrong information.
Joe Ryan was the victim of a little-known but frightening type of consumer cheating that is on the rise：medical identity theft, which involves using your name to get drugs, expensive medical treatment and even cheating insurance payments.
As Ryan discovered, money isn ’ t the half of it. When someone steals your name to receive health care, his medical history becomes part of your record—and setting the record straight can be extremely difficult. That ’ s because，in part，the information is handed out among dozens of care-givers, from doctors to medicine stores to insurance companies and labs.
"I wanted to help straighten this out,” says Ryan, ‘‘so I went to the hospital, and they had a three-inch-thick record for me, but they wouldn' t let me see it. I showed them my ID, and they said that’ s not Joe Ryan’ s signature. Well, of course not! They had this other guy ’ s signature. ”
Ryan had fallen into a victim’ s Catch-22： If your record doesn’ t appear to be yours, you may not have the right to read it, much less change it.
Ryan' s next step was a visit to the police department. But the police said that there was not much they could do, that the local law enforcement has little experience with medical ID theft, and cases like this can end up being considered a civil matter.
1. The billing agency sent Joe Ryan a notice to _______.
A. play a joke on him for medical treatment
B. inform him of the payment for his surgery
C. correct the mistakes about payment for his surgery
D. clear up the wrong information in his medical record
答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节题。由第一段 “In March 2008，Joe Ryan got a notice from a billing agency for a hospital near Denver, Colorado. The hospital wanted payment for surgery totaling $ 41,188.”he billing agency 通知Joe Ryan支付手术费用41,188美元，故答案为B。
2. Joe Ryan at first thought his problem was _________.
A. easy to settle
B. difficult to settle
C. impossible to solve
D. unnecessary to solve
答案解析：答案为A。本题为细节推理题。由第二段 “He figured clearing this up would take a just few phone calls.” 可知，Joe Ryan刚开始认为只要打几个电话就可以解决问题，故答案为A。
3. The number of medical identity theft cases in the United States is _______.
A. increasing
B. decreasing
C. countable
D. changeable
答案解析：答案为A。本题为细节题。由第四段首句 “Joe Ryan was the victim of a little-known but frightening type of consumer cheating that is on the rise：medical identity theft…”An even worse consequence of medical ID theft is ________.
A. some trouble in obtaining insurance payment
B. a big loss of money and damage to credit rating
C. the widely spread medical information of the victim
D. the difficulty in changing the wrong medical history
答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理题。由第五段可知，当别人盗用了你的名字来享受医疗服务后，他的医疗史就成为了你的医疗史，并且清除这些错误记录极其困难，因为你的信息已经给了许多照料者，包括医生、药店、保险公司和实验室。因此，医疗身份盗窃更糟糕的结果是受害者的医疗信息到处传播。故答案为C。干扰项最强的D选项“改变错误的医疗史非常困难”只是医疗身份盗窃的一个直接结果，但不是更糟糕的，因此排除D选项。
阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
I have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly. As a doctor, mother and scientist in child development I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the baby’s point of view.
Mothers, doctors and nurses alike have no idea of where a baby’s blood sugar level lies. All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. In this state, the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth.
It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say a four- hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of the experts to advocate a strict clock- watching schedule was Dr Frederic Truby King who was against feeding in the night. I’ve never heard anything so ridiculous. Baby feeding shouldn’t follow a timetable set by the mum. What is important is feeding a baby in the best way, though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks.
Well, at last we havecopper- bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding. The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5, 7, 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock. By the age of 8, their IQ (智商) scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable. This research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample (样本) of 10, 419 children born in the early 1990s, taking account of parental education, family income, a child’s sex and age, the mother’s health and feeding style. These results don’t surprise me. Feeding according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels.
I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeding practices.

A. The baby will sleep well.
B. The baby will have its brain harmed.
