D篇答案：CDDCBC
第65题此题属于主旨大意题，文章从第三段开始便从历史和地理环境（包括陆地和海洋）等角度分别阐述了中国和希腊神话区别的原因。文章只提到两种文明的神话有很多不同，并没有具体描述，故A项错误；文章只在第一段中解释了神话及其由来，B错；D项没提到，错误。故答案选C
第66题第二段中，作者认为 “However, for some reasons, there are many differences between Chinese and Greek myth, which show their own unique national spirits and moral principles.” 可以看出与D项相符。而ABC项均在文中找不到依据，故选D
第67题第三段以历史时间为两个文明之间神话差异的主要因素，希腊神话出现得更晚一些，而他们的形象却大相径庭，所以作者想表达的是神话出现的时间对神话形象有很大影响。而文中没有关于神话出现的时间的具表述故A错误，BC是无中生有，很明显答案选D
第68题由65题可知，第四第五段主要讲述了环境因素对两种神话的影响，故选C
第69题由文章最后可知，这里的“marine”呼应前文的“these
stepping-stones”，而这些stepping-stones是关于发现海岛和海上贸易的，故选B
第70题归纳题，第三段中“It is their aesthetic conception.”可知是aesthetic conception,而第三段主要讲了两种文明的神话形成过程，于是e包含，故排除BD；第四段末尾“They would not like to take their own lives to struggle with terrifying waves, but would rather work hard in gentle land”在第五段末尾“can spot islands in all directions on clear days.”“ he can reach any part of the Mediterranean to trade, to stay, to conquer and to colonize.”可知这是他们adventurous spirits的区别，故答案选C
第二卷(非选择题，共35分)
第四部分 任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
请阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
We've been hearing feedback from our customers about the way we handle performance for iPhones with older batteries and how we have communicated that process. We know that some of you feel Apple has let you down. We apologize. There's been a lot of misunderstanding about this issue, so we would like to clarify and let you know about some changes we're making.
First and foremost, we have never—and would never—do anything to intentionally shorten the life of any Apple product, or degrade the user experience to drive customer upgrades. Our goal has always been to create products that our customers love, and making iPhones last as long as possible is an important part of that.
All rechargeable batteries are consumable components that become less effective as their ability to hold a charge reduces. Time and the number of times a battery has been charged are not the only factors in this chemical aging process.
Device use also affects the performance of a battery over its lifespan. For example, leaving or charging a battery in a hot environment can cause a battery to age faster.
A chemically aged battery becomes less capable of delivering peak energy loads, especially in a low state of charge, which may lead to a device unexpectedly shutting itself down in some situations.
It should go without saying that we think sudden, unexpected shutdowns are unacceptable. We don't want any of our users to lose a call, miss taking a picture or have any other part of their iPhone experience interrupted if we can avoid it.
About a year ago in iOS 10.2.1, we delivered a software update that improves power management during peak workloads to avoid unexpected shutdowns on iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, and iPhone SE. With the update, iOS dynamically manages the maximum performance of some system components when needed to prevent a shutdown. While these changes may go unnoticed, in some cases users may experience longer launch times for apps and other reductions in performance.
Of course，when a chemically aged battery is replaced with a new one, iPhone performance returns to normal when operated in standard conditions.
To address our customers' concerns, to recognize their loyalty and to regain the trust of anyone who may have doubted Apple's intentions, we've decided to take the following steps:
Apple is reducing the price of an out-of-warranty iPhone battery replacement by $50—from
$79 to $29—for anyone with an iPhone 6 or later whose battery needs to be replaced, starting in late January and available worldwide through December 2018.
Early in 2018, we will issue an iOS software update with new features that give users more visibility into the health of their iPhone's battery, so they can see for themselves if its condition is affecting performance.
At Apple, our customers' trust means everything to us. We will never stop working to earn and maintain it. We are able to do the work we love only because of your faith and support—and we will never forget that or take it for granted.
71.Apology 72.age 73.how 74.Consequence 75.from 76.Prevention 77.managing 78.occasionally(sometimes) 79.helping(enabling, allowing) 80. battery?s 详细解析：
第71题第一段第三句话由原文“We apology”和Details中内容可判断答案为Apology
第72题第三段第二句话由原文“Time and the number of times a battery has been charged are not the only factors in this chemical aging process”可知答案为 age
第73题第四段讲述了device use的方法影响电池寿命，方法为how +完整句子。故答案为 how
第74题第五段第一句“which may lead to a device unexpectedly shutting itself down in some situations”可知这是aged battery的结果，所以用Consequence
第75题第七段第一句由原文“improves power management during peak workloads to avoid unexpected shutdowns”可知poor capability of
delivering peak energy loads是shut itself down unexpectedly的原因，故填from
第76题第七段是苹果避免突然关机采取的措施，第二句原文中有“when needed to prevent a shutdown”，这里是名词形式，故填Prevention
第77题第七段第二句原文“IOS dynamically manages the maximum performance of some system components”答案为managing
第78题第七段第三句中与in some cases同义替换，故答案为occasionally (sometimes)
第79题第十一段第一句中“give users more visibility into the health of their IPhone?s battery”是帮助使用者看到他们电池的健康状态，所以答案为helping(enabling, allowing)
第80题第十一段第一句“if its condition is affecting performance”可知这里的its指代的是电池，故答案为battery?s
第五部分 书面表达(满分25分)
请阅读下面一篇短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
How long could you remember what you've learnt? In 1885, Hermann Ebbinghaus did this exact experiment—and his results are widely accepted as a general theory for how we learn and keep information. The resulting graph is called Ebbinghaus' Forgetting Curve.
This theory shows if we want to learn and remember something well, we'd better do some repetition(rote memorizing) and reviewing work in a proper way. Research has shown that reviewing at regular intervals(间隔) does increase retention and that over time, less frequent review is needed.
Frequent review can help retention, but over time, we still tend to forget what we've learned. This is why reviewing and rote memorizing for exams can provide good results in the short term—only to lead to you forgetting everything you had quickly memorized immediately after.
The approach for long term retention is to focus on the quality of the information in memory and the meaning of the information to you. In plain English—the more relevant, meaningful connections you can make with the new information in your mind with things you already know, the better your memory retention over time.

This passage mainly talks about two ways on how to remember new knowledge well, making proper repetition and building connections between knowledge.The Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve is also introduced as a proof.
In my understanding, on one hand, we should memorize new knowledge scientifically. According to Ebbinghaus, retention drops sharply in the first two days and then begins to level off thereafter. So the primary principle is to review frequently in the early days. If we don't start revision in the first two days, more than 70% of what we've learned will have disappeared. To be more exact, early repetition should be made in 20 minutes after learning and then 1 hour, 9 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours. Besides, two more recalls one week and one month later are also needed for better results.
On the other hand, rather than memorize everything, we'd better relate new learning to old knowledge and personal experiences. By drawing connections, long term retention can be achieved.
