11.ApathyApathy is a state of lacking interest,enthusiasm or concern.(71)B They may also exhibit unfeelingness.Christians have condemned apathy as a lack of love and devotion to God and His works.
(72)F Also meaning"absence of passion"in Greek,the term"apatheia"was used by the Stoics (禁欲主义者) to show a desirable state of indifference towards events and things which lie outside one's control.
The modern concept of apathy became well known after World War I,when it was called"shell shock."Soldiers,living in the trenches among the bombing and gun fires,saw the battlefields filled with dead and wounded companions.(73)E In 1950,US novelist Passes wrote"Apathy is one of the characteristic responses of any living being when it is subjected to something too tense or too complicated to deal with."US philosopher Robert M.Hutchins summarizes the concerns about political indifference.He claims that the death of democracy is not likely to be a sudden murder from ambush (埋伏).(74)A
There may be other things contributing to a person's apathy.Activist Dave Meslin argues that apathy is often the result of social systems actively blocking engagement and involvement.He describes various barriers that prevent people from knowing how or why they might get involved in something.(75)C These include:political media that make it difficult for potentially interested people to find relevant information,and media descriptions of heroes as"chosen"by outside forces rather than self-motivated.He suggests that we redefine social apathy as a result of poorly designed systems that fail to invite others to participate.
A.It will be a slow process of fading away from apathy and indifference.
B.Apathetic people may lack a sense of purpose or meaning in their life.
C.He focuses on designed choices that deliberately or indeliberately exclude people.
D.The word"dispassion"is used for"apatheia",so as not to confuse it with apathy.

F.Although the word"apathy"originates from"apatheia",it is important not to confuse the two terms.
G.Author John McManamy argues apathy is a psychological problem for some depressed people,in which they get a sense that"nothing matters".

解答 71.B 72.F 73.E 74.A 75.C
71.B 考生的逻辑推理能力为本题主要考查点.根据下文They may also exhibit unfeelingness.他们也表现为没有感觉.可知本空在陈述这类人的特征.因此选B.
72.F 考生的逻辑推理能力为本题主要考查点.Also meaning"absence of passion"in Greek,the term"apatheia"…可知引入一个新词apatheia,而且其后的文字都是围绕介绍apathetic展开,突出了这个词和 apathy的区别.所以选F.
73.E 考生的逻辑推理能力为本题主要考查点.通过空格前一句Soldiers,living in the trenches among the bombing and gun fires,saw the battlefields filled with dead and wounded companions.战士经历战场的生死,soldiers复数名词被they指代,可知选E.
74.A 考生的细节查找能力为本题主要考查点.根据代词it指代原则,通过空格前面the death of democracy,配合理解该句话意思,可知选A.
75.C 考生的归纳总结能力为本题主要考查点.通过主语一致原则,句式一致原则,根据最后一段空格前后的两个相同主语He,和He加动词的句式,可知选C.
点评 1)从意思上判断 在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子,正确理解了这些句子后,根据意思的连贯性、逻辑性或者线索词从选项中选取正确答案.在读懂意思的基础上,再利用线索特征词等进一步确认答案.
2)从词汇上锁定线索 做保持对一些线索词的敏感是非常重要的,要好好关注空白前后的名词和动词,然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等.其次是一些专有名词,比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等.尤其是在读不懂句子的情况下,利用这样的线索词寻找答案是很有效的方法.
3)从关联词作为切入点 通常,英语的句段之间经常会运用关联词表示过渡和衔接,让文章的思路与更清楚、逻辑更连贯,因此文章中和选项中表示各种逻辑关系的路标性信号词在选择答案时都是很重要的线索.在做题时可将这三个层面的线索很好地结合起来.例如,在看到表示并列或递进关系的关联词时,一般表示前后句子的名词或句意具有同指性;而表示转折让步关系的词则往往表示前后句子的名词同指,但句意对立,或褒贬对立或肯否对立;而表示例证关系的词则意味着在举例之前或之后有表述概念或某一观点的句子,往往会有复数名词出现.

For many reasons,giving money is not the best (52)Bto an outstretched hand.The greatest gift is time and respect.To look beggars in the eye and smile,thus acknowledging their existence,is a small thing.Putting your hand into another's outstretched hand and grasping it (53)Afor a moment is also a small thing.But these are important.Everyone needs (54)A,to be seen as worthy of being (55)D,to feel appreciated and loved.And I believe that everyone is worthy and worth knowing.
