their wares in places where they're easily seen. One could remove junk food to the back of the store and ban them from the shelves at checkout lines.关键词display，由此可知主要强调要把垃圾食品淡出人们的视线。所以，正确答案为D。
61.What is the general guideline the Rand researchers suggest about junk food control?
A) Guiding people to make rational choices about food. B) Enhancing people’s awareness of their own health. C) Borrowing ideas from alcohol control measures.
D. Resorting to economic, legal and psychological means 答案：C. Borrowing ideas from alcohol control measures.
【解析】细节题。由关键词Rand researchers定位到第二段。文中提到“So here's a suggestion offered by two researchers at the Rand Corporation: Why not take a lesson from alcohol control policies and apply them to where food is sold and how it's displayed? take a lesson即borrow ideas，由此可知，Rand公司的研究人员建议借鉴控酒措施的经验，所以，正确答案为C。
Section B Passage 2
【总评】本文为我们分析了柯达公司虽然看到了市场前景，但是并没有在战略上把握机会，等意识到错误时，已经为时已晚，并最终走向衰败。对于一出生就接触各种数码产品的考生来说，柯达也许是个并不熟悉的企业，这或许会对阅读带来一定影响。而且本文也有不少商务用语，如strategy（战略，策略）、sponsorship（赞助），及一些关键词如anticipate（预期、预计）等，难度并不算小。所以平时对于词汇的积累是快速理解阅读内容的关键。 62. B. It's approaching its downfall.
【解析】细节题。从全文第一句中的bankruptcy (破产) 以及第二段第一句Although many attribute Kodak's downfall to \可知柯达已经衰落了。所以正确答案为B。
根据第全文第一句?a sad, though not unexpected turning point? 可知柯达的衰败，是早有预期的，而不是突然的，排除答案A. It went bankrupt all of a sudden；
根据第一段最后一句... but ultimately failed to adapt to the digital revolution可知柯达最终没有适应数字革命，排除答案C. It initiated the digital revolution in the film industry；
根据第一段内容，dominate用的是过去分词形式，即柯达在胶卷市场占主导地位是过去的事实，而非现今，排除答案D. It is playing the dominant role in the film market.
63. A. To show its early attempt to reinvent itself.
【解析】推理题。柯达发明第一台数码相机的例子出现在第二段，该段一开始指出很多人将柯达的衰败归结于柯达的自满，但是这个解释并没有承认柯达在自我改造上做出的努力。接下来作者用柯达发明了第一台数码相机来例证柯达在reinvent上的尝试。所以正确答案为A。
答案C. To show its quick adaptation to the digital revolution.与第一段最后一句ultimately failed to adapt to the digital revolution. 相冲
26
突，且发明了第一台数码相机并不足以说明其顺应了数码革命。 64. D. They are deeply stuck in their glorious past.
【解析】细节题。根据题干关键词large companies和switch定位到第四段最后一句Large companies have a difficult time switching to new markets because there is a temptation to put existing assets into the new businesses. 根据此句可知，大公司不能进入新市场的原因是他们在开创新业务的过程中，依然不愿放弃现有的优势。接来下第五段用柯达的事例继续阐释了这句话的含义，即 too rooted in the successes of the past for it to make the clean break necessary to fully embrace the future，沉溺于过去的辉煌，而不能完全拥抱未来。所以正确答案为D. They are deeply stuck in their glorious past. 65. A. A burden.
【解析】细节题。根据第五段最后一句话Their history was so important to them. Now their history has become a liability.可知柯达的历史已成自身发展的负担。burden是对liability的同义转换。所以正确答案为A。 66. C. Its refusal to sponsor the 1984 Olympics.
【解析】细节题。最后一段第一句说柯达在过去几十年间的衰败是戏剧性的。之后通过一个个例子来举例说明。从文中Kodak’s decision not to pursue the role of official film for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics was a major miscalculation.可知柯达犯的主要错误是没有赞助1984年的奥林匹克。而对手富士拿到了竞标，并由此赢得了市场上的永久立足点。所以正确答案为C。
Part V Cloze
Whether you think you need daytime rest or not, picking up a nap habit—or continuing to make time for one—is a smart, healthy move. Consider the evidence: The Mayo Clinic says naps promote relaxation, reduced fatigue, better mood and alertness, and a sharper-working mind. A 2008 British study found that compared to getting more nighttime sleep or guzzling caffeine, a mid-day nap was the best way to cope with the mid-afternoon slump.
According to the Harvard Health Letter, several studies have shown that people remember new information better when they take a nap shortly after learning it. And, most incredibly, a 2007 study of nearly 24,000 Greek adults in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that people who napped regularly had a 37 percent reduced risk of dying from heart disease compared to people who didn’t nap.
Of course, napping isn’t right for everyone. If you’re prone to insomnia, naps that are too long or taken too late in the day can interfere with your ability to fall or stay asleep at night. Also, people with certain sleep disorders, like sleep apnea or narcolepsy, may feel more tired if they take a nap than if they don’t.
But for most, naps can make you feel sharper and happier. Naps provide different benefits depending on how long they are, says MentalFloss.com.

A 20-minute nap will boost alertness and concentration; a 90-minute snooze can enhance creativity. According to Prevention.com, you experience a natural dip in body temperature between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. A power nap at this time can boost alertness forseveral hours and, for most people, shouldn’t affect being able to fall asleep at night. Pick a dark, cozy place that’s not too warm or too chilly. Prevention.com recommends napping on the couch instead of in bed, so you’re less tempted to snooze for too long. Surprisingly, the best place to crash may be a hammock if you have one. A Swiss study publishedlast year found that people fell asleep faster and had deeper sleep when they napped in a hammock than in a bed. That same rocking motion that lulls babies to sleep works wonders for grown-ups too. 点评：本篇完形填空摘自Read’s Digest， 再次体现了四六级考试频繁使用外刊素材的特点。
本篇文章主要讲述了睡午觉的好处。不管你是否觉得有睡午觉的必要，养成这样的习惯可以让你有效对抗下午的困顿。但是，睡午觉也未必适合每个人。如果你本身已经有失眠的问题，睡午觉会让你晚上更难入睡。 除了通过上下文理解才能得出答案的题目之外，仍然考察了一些语法点。比如第69题，A 2008 British study found that compared to getting more nighttime sleep, a mid-day nap was the best way to cope __69___ the mid-afternoon sleepiness. 这里明显考察的就是词组cope with.表示处理、应对。
再比如第73题，And most incredibly, a 2007 study of nearly 24,000 Greek adults in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that people who napped regularly had a 37% reduced risk of dying __73__ heart disease ??这里也非常明显的考察了词组die from
同时也考察了对动词词义的辨析。例如第77题，A 20-minute nap will boost alertness and concentration; a 90-minute snooze will __77___creativity. 选项包括了enlarge, engage, enhance 和enlighten. 根据前半句话的含义可知，20分钟午睡可以提高专注度，那么90分钟的午睡就更应该对创造力有益了。通过对4个选项的分析，只有enhance能够表达这个意思。此处除了要搞清楚4个选项本身的含义外，还要注意运用上下文来进行最终判断。
总体来说，整篇文章难度并不大，也没有出现过于生僻的表述方式。只要能够清楚辨析选项，熟悉搭配，并且充分理解上下文，就能够顺利完成本篇完形填空。
