答案及解析

Passage1

【语篇导读】生活中数据无处不在，它们带给我们便利的同时，我们也要看到其局限性。

很多东西不能单纯地用数据来衡量。

我们要正确对待数据，不要过分依赖它们。

1.B【解析】根据上下文可知，此段介绍的是数据带给我们的便利。

由B项中的关键词easier和morecomfortable可知选B项。

2.C【解析】根据上下文可知，此段介绍的是数据的局限性，数据并不是万能的。

故C项符合文意。

3.G【解析】根据下文中的Wecanonlyfeeltheminourheartsbutcanneverexpressthemindata.可知，很多东西是无法用数据来衡量的。

G项是主题句，统领全段。

4.D【解析】根据上下文可知，我们应该明智地对待数据，错误的数据有时候会误导我们，我们人类有感情而数据没有。

因此D项符合文意。

5.A【解析】根据上下文内容可知A项正确，我们应该尽全力成为聪明的思考者。

Passage2

【语篇导读】一个人是否快乐虽然与遗传和环境有很大的关系，然而是否快乐在很大程度上取决于你的选择，那么怎样才能快乐起来呢？

3.D【解析】根据小标题Keeplearning及空后提到的learning的作用可知选项D符合语境。

4.A【解析】本段的中心词是goals，主要说明我们需要有目标，应该如何选择目标。

故A项符合题意。

5.G【解析】根据空前的achievable和空后的meaningfulbutrealisticgoals可知G项“如果我们试图尝试不可能（达到的目标），这会造成不必要的压力”符合语境。

Passage3

【语篇导读】这篇文章主要介绍了在校大学生如何在上大学期间节省钱。

1.D【解析】根据此段的Don’teatoutallthetime.Startkeepingtrackofhowmanytimesyoueatouteveryweekormonth.可知，作者建议不要经常在外边吃饭，要把每周或每月在外边吃饭的次数记下来，这样“你可能会为你花在食物上的钱的数目而感到吃惊”。

故D项符合语境。

2.G【解析】G选项中的saveitforarainyday与该段小标题Useyourcreditcardforemergenciesonly相呼应。

故选G项。

3.B【解析】根据此段的ifyouplanaheadanddosomeonlineshopping，youcansaveyourselfhundredsofdollarspersemester.可知B项（在学期开始之前在网上买书）符合语境。

1.B【解析】根据上句的…theyregretmissingopportunitieswhiletheirparentswerealiveandthattherewerethingstheywishtheyhadspokenabout.可知，他们很遗憾错失了这些机会，所以此空就说明“你应该抓住这个机会”。

故选B项。

2.F【解析】根据此空前的astoryaboutyourparentsorgrandparents和空后的somestoriesaboutyourancestors可知，家庭的历史要比家谱图或家庭相册内容丰富得多。

故选F项。

3.E【解析】根据下文的whentheywereyoung可知，E项中的whenyouwereachild
