For as long as I can remember, my body and I have shared a relationship of discontent. Growing up, I was skinnier than the other kids and at five I was told I wasn't attractive and that I must put on some weight. But no matter how much I ate, I stayed thin for years until adolescence. Then I started putting on weight almost immediately. I remember feeling happy as I began to fill out. However, my joy didn't last long.
I was thirteen when I was first called fat. Friends and neighbours would make jokes on my big size. As I entered my late teens, I had completely lost confidence in my body and, subsequently, in myself. Having failed to live up to conventional beauty standards, I was convinced that if I wanted to be loved, I needed to offer more, doing anything to please everyone around.
I entered adulthood thinking I wasn't “enough”—an idea that was seeded not only by the fact that “skinny” is celebrated, but also by the language associated with accounts of losing weight—self improvement, discipline—all virtues. Being fat quickly categorizes you as lazy and undisciplined. Consumed by thoughts of the way my body looked, I didn't notice the other ways my body needed attention. I failed to realize, for example, that my period was much heavier and more painful than ever before. Actually I developed a rare disease and later I had two surgeries.
I was always made to feel that my weight was the root of a lot of problems in my life; I have learnt this is not true. After a lot of self reflection and some professional help, I realized I never learnt to like myself. While two decades of self hatred cannot be undone overnight, I have taken first steps to acceptance.
I am now much lighter than before, in body and mind. There are days I find voices on social media saying I am too fat to be loved or to be worthy, but I am learning not to focus on that thought for long. As long as I like myself, just the way I am, opinions at the end of the day are just water off a duck's back.
4. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs
A. She could change her weight at will.
B. She had different beauty standards from others.
C. She tried to love others to build her confidence.
D. She was greatly influenced by others' opinions.
5. Why did the author think she wasn't “enough”
A She was poorly disciplined.
B. She failed to celebrate “skinny”．
C. She was labelled as lazy for her weight.
D. She put on more weight after entering adulthood.
6. What caused the author to make a change
A. Her lighter body. B. A troublesome illness.
C. Popular beauty standards. D. Others' critical comments.
7 What is the best title for the text
A. Beauty matters. B. Opinions vary.
C. Worth your weight. D. Beyond your limits.
C
One day in 1995，a large，heavy middle-aged man robbed two Pittsburgh banks in broad daylight. He didn't wear a mask and he smiled at surveillance cameras before walking out of each bank. Later that night, police arrested a surprised McArthur Wheeler. When they showed him the surveillance tapes, Wheeler stared in disbelief. "But I wore the juice," he mumbled. Apparently, Wheeler thought that rubbing lemon juice on his skin would make him invisible to videotape cameras. After all, lemon juice is used as invisible ink, so, as long as he didn't come near a heat source, he should have been completely invisible.
The case caught the eye of the psychologist David Dunning at Cornell University, who enlisted his graduate student, Justin Kruger, to see what was going on. They reasoned that, while almost everyone holds favourable views of their abilities in various social and intellectual fields, some people mistakenly assess their abilities as being much higher than they actually are. This "illusion of confidence" is now called" the Dunning-Kruger Effect", and describes the cognitive bias to inflate self-assessment.
To investigate this phenomenon in the lab, Dunning and Kruger designed some clever experiments. In one study, they asked undergraduate students a series of questions about grammar, logic and jokes, and then asked each student to estimate his or her score overall, as well as their relative rankings compared to the other students. Interestingly, students who scored the lowest in these cognitive tasks always overestimated how well they did—by a lot. Students who scored in the bottom estimated that they had performed better than two-thirds of the other students!
Sure, it's typical for people to overestimate their abilities. The problem is that when people are incompetent, not only do they reach wrong conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but also they are robbed of the ability to realize their mistakes. In a semester-long study of college students, good students could better predict their performance on future exams given feedback about their scores and rankings. However, the poorest performers showed no recognition, despite clear and repeated feedback that they were doing badly. Instead of being confused or thoughtful about their incorrect ways, incompetent people insist that their ways are correct. As Charles Darwin wrote in The Descent of Man（1871）: "Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge. "
Interestingly, really smart people also fail to accurately self-assess their abilities. As much as D-and F-grade students overestimate their abilities, A-grade students underestimate theirs. The difference is that competent people can adjust their self-assessment if given appropriate feedback, while incompetent individuals cannot.
8. Which of the following statements about the Dunning-Kruger Effect is true
A. The effect is true for everyone in daily life.
B. It suggests that most people lack cognitive abilities.
C. Some people are overconfident about their abilities.
D. The conclusion is drawn based on a series of bank robberies.
9. What does the college students' behaviour mentioned in the experiments prove
A. Feedback plays a significant role in estimating one's ability.
B. Incompetent people have a rigid attitude towards their choice.
C. Good students can predict their future performance accurately.
D. People can't rely on their previous behaviour to make adjustments.
10. The underlined word "begets" can be replaced by “________”.
A. gives rise to B. takes advantage of C. makes up for D. breaks away from
11. What can we infer from the passage
A. Real knowledge is knowing the extent of one's ignorance.
B. It is difficult for people to evaluate their real competence.
C. Illusion of confidence is the major source of people's failure.
D. Those with great abilities often have a low opinion of themselves.
D
Like infectious diseases, ideas in the academic world are epidemic (传染的). But why some travel far and wide while equally good ones has been a mystery Now a team of computer scientists has used an epidemiological model to simulate (模仿) how ideas move from one academic institution to another. The model showed that ideas originating at famous institutions caused bigger “epidemics” than equally good ideas from less famous places, explains Allison Morgan, a computer scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder.
“This implies that where an idea is born shapes how far it spreads,” says senior author Aaron Clauset.
Not only is this unfair— “it reveals a big weakness in how we’re doing science,” says Simon DeDeo, a professor of social and decision sciences at Carnegie Mellon university, who was not involved in the study. “There are many highly trained people with good ideas who do not end up at top institutions. They are producing good ideas, and we know those ideas are getting lost,” DeDeo says. “Our science, our scholarships, is not as good because of this.”
The Colorado researchers first looked at how five big ideas in computer science spread to new institutions. They found that hiring a new faculty member accounted for this movement a little more than a third of the time--and in 81 percent of those cases transmissions took place from higher – to lower-prestige (声望) universities. Then the team simulated the spread of ideas using an infectious disease model and found that the size of an idea “epidemic” depended on the prestige of the originating institution.
The researchers’ model suggests that there “may be a number of quite good ideas that originate in the middle of the pack, in terms of universities.” Clauset says. There is a lot of good work coming out of less famous places. he says: “You can learn a huge amount from it, and you can learn things that other people don’t know because they’re not even paying attention.”
12. How did the scientists carry out their research
A. By making use of a model. B. By analyzing previous data.
C By comparing different results. D. By interviewing different people.
13. According to Simon DeDeo, What can we infer in Paragraph 3
A. All the people with higher education have good ideas.
B. Some scholarships aren’t given to the right people.
C. Most good ideas come from not-so-great institutions.
D. People with higher education should work in top institutions.
14. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A. The causes of the results. B. The importance of the research.
C. The findings of the research. D. The characteristics of big ideas.
15. What may be the best title for the passage
A. Spread good ideas as far as possible.
B. Best ideas come from top institutions.
C. Save good ideas from less famous places.
D. Ideas from top institutions travel farther.

阅读七选五。
We have all seen nervous presenters in classrooms and meetings. One effect of being nervous is moving from side to side. ___16___ In fact, the audience can lose interest in a speaker who does not move. How a speaker moves is important. Whole-body movement should be slow and planned to command attention. Such movement helps to communicate confidence. ___17___But they look at their notes on a paper or at the screen if they have an electronic presentation.
With posture, the typical problem for new speakers is that they are often moving back and forth, and they’re not facing the audience. They’ll often be facing the white board or the screen with slides and be talking to that rather than talking to the audience. The same thing with eye contact with the audience, they find it really, really difficult, because they’ll be looking at their notes, they’ll be looking at their computer, they’ll be looking at the screen, or they will be looking at the floor. The problem of having notes and trying to talk from notes often is a big problem. ___18___The best way to avoid this problem is to use images and few words for notes instead of sentences. The image should help communicate the point you want to make. Writing a few words with the image on your slide helps you remember that point. Then you can look at the audience while speaking.
___19___ When you practice, remember these important tips: be aware of your posture, eye contact, and gestures. ___20___ Then step by step, you’ll become an excellent speaker.
A. So they usually have eye contact with the audience.
B. So they have trouble with eye contact.
C. An important part of public speaking is practice.
D. New public speakers know that they should look at the audience while they speak.
E. A presenter does not need to stand perfectly still.
F. Improve your public speaking with body language.
G. Look for opportunities to speak and gain more confidence.

For as long as I can remember, my body and I have shared a relationship of discontent. Growing up, I was skinnier than the other kids and at five I was told I wasn't attractive and that I must put on some weight. But no matter how much I ate, I stayed thin for years until adolescence. Then I started putting on weight almost immediately. I remember feeling happy as I began to fill out. However, my joy didn't last long.
I was thirteen when I was first called fat. Friends and neighbours would make jokes on my big size. As I entered my late teens, I had completely lost confidence in my body and, subsequently, in myself. Having failed to live up to conventional beauty standards, I was convinced that if I wanted to be loved, I needed to offer more, doing anything to please everyone around.
I entered adulthood thinking I wasn't “enough”—an idea that was seeded not only by the fact that “skinny” is celebrated, but also by the language associated with accounts of losing weight—self improvement, discipline—all virtues. Being fat quickly categorizes you as lazy and undisciplined. Consumed by thoughts of the way my body looked, I didn't notice the other ways my body needed attention. I failed to realize, for example, that my period was much heavier and more painful than ever before. Actually I developed a rare disease and later I had two surgeries.
I was always made to feel that my weight was the root of a lot of problems in my life; I have learnt this is not true. After a lot of self reflection and some professional help, I realized I never learnt to like myself. While two decades of self hatred cannot be undone overnight, I have taken first steps to acceptance.
I am now much lighter than before, in body and mind. There are days I find voices on social media saying I am too fat to be loved or to be worthy, but I am learning not to focus on that thought for long. As long as I like myself, just the way I am, opinions at the end of the day are just water off a duck's back.
4. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs
A. She could change her weight at will.
B. She had different beauty standards from others.
C. She tried to love others to build her confidence.
D. She was greatly influenced by others' opinions.
5. Why did the author think she wasn't “enough”
A. She was poorly disciplined.
B. She failed to celebrate “skinny”．
C. She was labelled as lazy for her weight.
D. She put on more weight after entering adulthood.
6. What caused the author to make a change
A. Her lighter body. B. A troublesome illness.
C. Popular beauty standards. D. Others' critical comments.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. Beauty matters. B. Opinions vary.
C. Worth your weight. D. Beyond your limits.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文的文章。作者由于体重偏重一直处于自卑的心理状态，所以拼命减肥，直到一场重病让她清醒过来，开始接受自己的体重，爱护自己。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Having failed to live up to conventional beauty standards, I was convinced that if I wanted to be loved, I needed to offer more, doing anything to please everyone around.（由于没有达到传统的美的标准，我确信如果我想要被爱，我需要付出更多，做任何事情来取悦周围的人。）”中的to please everyone around可知，作者深受周围人的看法的影响。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“I entered adulthood thinking I wasn't “enough”—an idea that was seeded not only by the fact that “skinny” is celebrated, but also by the language associated with accounts of losing weight—self improvement, discipline—all virtues. Being fat quickly categorizes you as lazy and undisciplined.（我进入了成年期，认为自己“不够”——这个想法的萌芽，不仅是因为“瘦”受到称赞，还因为与减肥相关的语言——自我改善、自律——都是美德。肥胖很快就会把你归类为懒惰和无纪律的人。）”中的lazy and undisciplined可知，由于肥胖，作者还被贴上了懒惰（lazy）和无纪律的标签。故选C项。
6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“I failed to realize, for example, that my period was much heavier and more painful than ever before. Actually I developed a rare disease and later I had two surgeries.（例如，我没有意识到，我的生理期比以往任何时候都更沉重和痛苦。事实上，我得了一种罕见的疾病，后来做了两次手术。）”中的disease以及第四段“I was always made to feel that my weight was the root of a lot of problems in my life; I have learnt this is not true.（我总是觉得我的体重是我生活中许多问题的根源; 我已经知道这不是真的。）”中的I have learnt this is not true可知，由于生病作者已经意识到体重不是自己问题的根源。再结合第四段最后“I have taken first steps to acceptance.（但我已经迈出了接受现实的第一步。）”作者做出了改变。由此推测，是生病让作者决心做出改变。故选B项。
7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据最后一段“There are days I find voices on social media saying I am too fat to be loved or to be worthy, but I am learning not to focus on that thought for long.（有时候我会在社交媒体上看到一些声音，说我太胖了，不值得被爱，但是我正学着不要长时间地关注这个想法。）”可知，作者主要想表达接受自己原本的体重，并学会爱自己。C项“你的体重有价值”符合题意，适合作标题。故选C项。
C
One day in 1995，a large，heavy middle-aged man robbed two Pittsburgh banks in broad daylight. He didn't wear a mask and he smiled at surveillance cameras before walking out of each bank. Later that night, police arrested a surprised McArthur Wheeler. When they showed him the surveillance tapes, Wheeler stared in disbelief. "But I wore the juice," he mumbled. Apparently, Wheeler thought that rubbing lemon juice on his skin would make him invisible to videotape cameras. After all, lemon juice is used as invisible ink, so, as long as he didn't come near a heat source, he should have been completely invisible.
The case caught the eye of the psychologist David Dunning at Cornell University, who enlisted his graduate student, Justin Kruger, to see what was going on. They reasoned that, while almost everyone holds favourable views of their abilities in various social and intellectual fields, some people mistakenly assess their abilities as being much higher than they actually are. This "illusion of confidence" is now called" the Dunning-Kruger Effect", and describes the cognitive bias to inflate self-assessment.
To investigate this phenomenon in the lab, Dunning and Kruger designed some clever experiments. In one study, they asked undergraduate students a series of questions about grammar, logic and jokes, and then asked each student to estimate his or her score overall, as well as their relative rankings compared to the other students. Interestingly, students who scored the lowest in these cognitive tasks always overestimated how well they did—by a lot. Students who scored in the bottom estimated that they had performed better than two-thirds of the other students!
Sure, it's typical for people to overestimate their abilities. The problem is that when people are incompetent, not only do they reach wrong conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but also they are robbed of the ability to realize their mistakes. In a semester-long study of college students, good students could better predict their performance on future exams given feedback about their scores and rankings. However, the poorest performers showed no recognition, despite clear and repeated feedback that they were doing badly. Instead of being confused or thoughtful about their incorrect ways, incompetent people insist that their ways are correct. As Charles Darwin wrote in The Descent of Man（1871）: "Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge. "
Interestingly, really smart people also fail to accurately self-assess their abilities. As much as D-and F-grade students overestimate their abilities, A-grade students underestimate theirs. The difference is that competent people can adjust their self-assessment if given appropriate feedback, while incompetent individuals cannot.
8. Which of the following statements about the Dunning-Kruger Effect is true
A. The effect is true for everyone in daily life.
B. It suggests that most people lack cognitive abilities.
C. Some people are overconfident about their abilities.
D. The conclusion is drawn based on a series of bank robberies.
9. What does the college students' behaviour mentioned in the experiments prove
A. Feedback plays a significant role in estimating one's ability.
B. Incompetent people have a rigid attitude towards their choice.
C. Good students can predict their future performance accurately.
D. People can't rely on their previous behaviour to make adjustments.
10. The underlined word "begets" can be replaced by “________”.
A. gives rise to B. takes advantage of C. makes up for D. breaks away from
11. What can we infer from the passage
A. Real knowledge is knowing the extent of one's ignorance.
B. It is difficult for people to evaluate their real competence.
C. Illusion of confidence is the major source of people's failure.
D. Those with great abilities often have a low opinion of themselves.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了“邓宁-克鲁格效应”，研究表明有能力的人会根据各方面的反馈来调整自我评估，而无知的人往往看不到自身的不足，盲目自信，固执己见。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段内容，尤其是“…some people mistakenly assess their abilities as being much higher than they actually are.（有些人错误地认为自己的能力比实际要高得多。）”可知，“邓宁-克鲁格效应”指的是一些人会高估自己的能力、过度自信。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段倒数第二句“Instead of being confused or thoughtful about their incorrect ways, incompetent people insist that their ways are correct.（能力差的人坚持他们的方式是正确的，而不是困惑或思考他们不正确的方式。）”可知，能力差的人不会去反思自己的不正确的方法，而是坚持认为他们的方法是正确的。所以说实验中提到的大学生行为证明了他们非常固执。故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段的“Instead of being confused or thoughtful about their incorrect ways, incompetent people insist that their ways are correct.（不称职的人坚持他们的方式是正确的，而不是困惑或思考他们不正确的方式。）”可知，上面的研究表明无知的人更加盲目自信。所以这句话的意思是“无知比知识更容易产生自信”。beget的意思是give rise to，意为“引起”。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是倒数第二段的“Sure, it's typical for people to overestimate their abilities. The problem is that when people are incompetent, not only do they reach wrong conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but also they are robbed of the ability to realize their mistakes.（当然，人们高估自己的能力是很典型的。问题是，当人们无能时，他们不仅会得出错误的结论，做出不幸的选择，而且还会被剥夺意识到自己错误的能力。）”可知，本文主要阐述了“邓宁-克鲁格效应”。研究表明有能力的人会根据各方面的反馈来调整自我评估，而无知的人往往看不到自己的不足，盲目自信，固执己见。因此，我们可以推断出，真正的知识是知道自己无知的程度。故选A。
D
Like infectious diseases, ideas in the academic world are epidemic (传染的). But why some travel far and wide while equally good ones has been a mystery Now a team of computer scientists has used an epidemiological model to simulate (模仿) how ideas move from one academic institution to another. The model showed that ideas originating at famous institutions caused bigger “epidemics” than equally good ideas from less famous places, explains Allison Morgan, a computer scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder.
“This implies that where an idea is born shapes how far it spreads,” says senior author Aaron Clauset.
Not only is this unfair— “it reveals a big weakness in how we’re doing science,” says Simon DeDeo, a professor of social and decision sciences at Carnegie Mellon university, who was not involved in the study. “There are many highly trained people with good ideas who do not end up at top institutions. They are producing good ideas, and we know those ideas are getting lost,” DeDeo says. “Our science, our scholarships, is not as good because of this.”
The Colorado researchers first looked at how five big ideas in computer science spread to new institutions. They found that hiring a new faculty member accounted for this movement a little more than a third of the time--and in 81 percent of those cases, transmissions took place from higher – to lower-prestige (声望) universities. Then the team simulated the spread of ideas using an infectious disease model and found that the size of an idea “epidemic” depended on the prestige of the originating institution.
The researchers’ model suggests that there “may be a number of quite good ideas that originate in the middle of the pack, in terms of universities.” Clauset says. There is a lot of good work coming out of less famous places. he says: “You can learn a huge amount from it, and you can learn things that other people don’t know because they’re not even paying attention.”
12. How did the scientists carry out their research
A. By making use of a model. B. By analyzing previous data.
C. By comparing different results. D. By interviewing different people.
13. According to Simon DeDeo, What can we infer in Paragraph 3
A. All the people with higher education have good ideas.
B. Some scholarships aren’t given to the right people.
C. Most good ideas come from not-so-great institutions.
D. People with higher education should work in top institutions.
14. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A. The causes of the results. B. The importance of the research.
C. The findings of the research. D. The characteristics of big ideas.
15. What may be the best title for the passage
A. Spread good ideas as far as possible.
B. Best ideas come from top institutions.
C. Save good ideas from less famous places.
D. Ideas from top institutions travel farther.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【分析】本文为说明文。文章介绍了一种社会现象——顶级机构的想法传播得更远。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。依据第一段a team of computer scientists has used an epidemiological model to simulate…可知，科学家们利用模型进行研究。故A选项正确。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。第三段Simon Dedeo说：“这揭示了我们在科学方面的巨大弱点。”“很多受过高等教育的人都有很好的想法，但最终却没有进入顶尖机构。他们正在产生好的想法，我们知道这些想法正在消失，”；“由于这一点，我们的科学，我们的奖学金没有那么好。”由此可推断，有些奖学金并没有给对的人。故B选项正确。
【14题详解】
段落大意题。依据第四段They found that...Then the team simulated the spread of ideas...and found that...。由两处found that...可知，该段主要呈现研究的结果。故C选项正确。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段提出一种社会现象，学术思想像传染病一样会流行，但为什么一些传播的远而另一些却不？后文通过流行病学建模实验来说明，来自名家机构的思想要比来自不太著名地方的同样好的思想更加的“流行”。因此D项“顶级机构的想法传播得更远”适合做最佳标题。故D选项正确。

We have all seen nervous presenters in classrooms and meetings. One effect of being nervous is moving from side to side. ___16___ In fact, the audience can lose interest in a speaker who does not move. How a speaker moves is important. Whole-body movement should be slow and planned to command attention. Such movement helps to communicate confidence. ___17___But they look at their notes on a paper or at the screen if they have an electronic presentation.
With posture, the typical problem for new speakers is that they are often moving back and forth, and they’re not facing the audience. They’ll often be facing the white board or the screen with slides and be talking to that rather than talking to the audience. The same thing with eye contact with the audience, they find it really, really difficult, because they’ll be looking at their notes, they’ll be looking at their computer, they’ll be looking at the screen, or they will be looking at the floor. The problem of having notes and trying to talk from notes often is a big problem. ___18___The best way to avoid this problem is to use images and few words for notes instead of sentences. The image should help communicate the point you want to make. Writing a few words with the image on your slide helps you remember that point. Then you can look at the audience while speaking.
___19___ When you practice, remember these important tips: be aware of your posture, eye contact, and gestures. ___20___ Then step by step, you’ll become an excellent speaker.
A. So they usually have eye contact with the audience.
B. So they have trouble with eye contact.
C. An important part of public speaking is practice.
D. New public speakers know that they should look at the audience while they speak.
E. A presenter does not need to stand perfectly still.
F. Improve your public speaking with body language.
G. Look for opportunities to speak and gain more confidence.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了随着5G的发展，生活的各个方面都将会发生巨大的变化。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：5G正在发展，但我们大多数人并不十分清楚它是什么或者我们需要它的原因。分析句子可知，设空处引导定语从句，关系词代替先行词reason在从句中充当原因状语，应该用关系副词why，故填why。
【42题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：如果你问不同的人，你将会得到不同的答案。分析句子可知，设空处是主句谓语动词，if引导的条件状语从句适用主将从现原则，从句是一般现在时，故主句应用一般将来时，主句主语you和provide之间是被动关系，应用一般将来时的被动语态，故填will be provided。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意：专家们相信4G变得不再受欢迎。此处是固定短语on the way out“变得不再受欢迎”，故填the。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：现在，还不知道5G会给人们的生活带来什么样的影响，但是人们普遍认为5G一定会比我们以前用过的任何一代网络都快。此处应用副词修饰动词will be，故填definitely。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：随着5G的发展，无人驾驶车将能与其他车辆进行交流，这可以减少约10%的道路事故。分析句子可知，此处应用名词作为介词with的宾语，development“发展”不可数名词，故填development。
【46题详解】
考查介词。句意：随着5G的发展，无人驾驶车将能与其他车辆进行交流，这可以减少约10%的道路事故。此处是固定短语communicate with…“与……进行交流”，故填with。
【47题详解】
考查形容词。句意：最令人赞叹的事情之一是，当列车到达车站时，人们可以看到车上哪些座位是可选的。此处应用形容词修饰名词vehicles，impressive“令人赞叹的”符合语境；根据“one of + 形容词最高级+复数名词”可知，此处应用该形容词的最高级，因它是多音节词，故最高级是在其前加the most。故填impressive。
【48题详解】
考查代词。句意：最令人赞叹的事情之一是，当列车到达车站时，人们可以看到车上哪些座位是可选的。短语be accessible to“可适用/接近的”中的to是介词，其后应加代词宾格，they的宾格是them，代指前文提到的people。故填them。
【49题详解】
考查动名词。句意：环游世界也将会更方便。此处应用动名词作句子主语，位于句首，首字母要大写。故填Getting。
