【解析】考察时态。时态题目做题的关键在于把握动作或状态发生的时间。本题要填入的是一个状态，为make no sense无意义，那么这个状态发生的时间是什么时候呢？题目的下半句话说，很多事情在明年都会发生变化，暗示没有意义这个状态是跟现在有关的，说明现在过早的做计划是没有意义的，因此选择表示现在状态的一般现在时。句意为，过早的做计划是没有意义的，因为很多事情在明年都会发生变化。

A.a;a B.a;the C.the;the D.a;不填

55.A.dropped B.started C.passed D.missed
march into是含义是“行军、走过”。
【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。
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”。
第三部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
When milk arrived on the doorstep
When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.
Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note-“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.
All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to out house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.
There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.
Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch （门廊）. Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.
56. Mr Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer__ to satisfy his curiosity __.
A. to show his magical power. B. to pay for the delivery
C. to satisfy his curiosity. D. to please his mother.
57. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house?
A. He wanted to have tea t here.
B. He was a respectable person.
C. He was treated as a family member.
D. He was fully trusted by the family.
58. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?
A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.
B. It has been driven out of the market.
C. Its service is getting poor.
D. It is forbidden by law.
59. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?
A. He missed the good old days.
B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.
C. He missed it for his milk bottles.
D. He planted flowers in it.

While small may be beautiful, tall is just plain uncomfortable it seems, particularly when it comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants.
The Tall Persons Club Great Britain (TPCGB), which was formed six months ago to campaign for the needs of the tall, has turned its attention to hotels and restaurants. Beds that are too small, showe heads that are too low, and restaurant tables with hardly any leg-room all make life difficult for those of above average height, it says.
But it is not just the extra-tall whose needs are not being met. The average night of the population has been increasing ye the standard size of beds, doorways, and chairs has remained unchanged.]
“The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it, so even a king-size bed at 6′6″(6 feet and 6 inches) is falling short for 25% of men, while the standard 6′3″ bed caters for less than half of the male population.” Said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy, “seven-foot beds would work fine.”
Sililarly, restaurant tables can cause no end of problems. Small tables, which mean the long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them, are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere.
Some have already taken note, however. At Queens Moat Houses′Caledoman Hotl in Edinburgh, 6′6″beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors, particularly Americans.
64. What is the purpose of the TPCGB campaign?
A. To provide better services.
B. To rebuild hotels and restaurants.
C. To draw public attention to the needs of the tall.
D. To attract more people to become its members.
65. Which of the following might be a bed of proper length according to Phil Heinricy?
A. 7′2″. B. 7′ C. 6′6″ D. 6′3″
66.What may happen to restaurants with small tables?
A. They may lose some customers.
B. They may start businesses elsewhere.
C. They have to find easy chairs to match the tables.
D. They have to provide enough space for the long-legged.
67. What change has already been made in a hotel in Edinburgh?
A. Tall people pay more for larger beds.
B. 6′6″beds have taken the place of 6′3″beds.
C. Special rooms are kept for Americans.
D. Guest rooms are standardized.
【解题导语】说明文。主要讲述一个英国的高个子组织TPCGP在六个月以前向宾馆和酒店发起的针对高个子的一些特殊需求的活动。
64. 答案C 细节理解题。由第二段的which was formed six months ago to campaign for the needs of the tall, has turned its attention to hotels and restaurants.可知TPCGP是为了让公众注意高个子的一些特殊需求。
65. 答案B细节理解题。由倒数第三段Said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy, “seven-foot beds would work fine.”可知。
66. 答案A推理题。由倒数第二段的内容可知，如果饭店使用小的桌子，自然就失去了高个子这样一类群体的顾客。选A。
67. 答案B。细节理解题。ACD在文中均是无中生有，在文中无对应内容。由倒数第一段可知6′6″beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors, particularly Americans.B项正确。
