On the contrary, it helps farmers and improves forest soils. This is the unorthodox view of a German soil scientist who has shown that.We learn from the passage that the traditional view of slash-and-burn farming is that _. (05-6-11)A. it does no harm to the topsoil of the rainforestB. it destroys rainforest soilsC. it helps improve rainforest soilsD. it diminishes the organic matter in rainforest soilsIts possible that plutocrats are expressing solidarity with the struggling middle class as part of an effort to insulate themselves from confiscatory（没收性的）tax policies. But the prospect that income inequality will lead to higher taxes on the wealthy doesnt keep plutocrats up at night. They can live with that. No, what they fear was that the political challenges of sustaining support for global economic integration will be more difficult in the United States because of what has happened to the distribution of income and economic insecurity. 60. What is the real reason for plutocrats to express solidarity with the middle class?A. They want to protect themselves from confiscatory taxation.B. They know that the middle class contributes most to society. C. They want to gain support for global economic integration.D. They feel increasingly threatened by economic insecurity.二、原文的考点特征： 1、对应原文转折句：如含有however, but, nevertheless, on the contrary等词的句子；如果首末段有转折句，一定要看，与文章主题相关。所有转折中，however处设计正确答案的可能性最高。 2、对应原文因果关系：如含有because, thus, as a result等词的句子，常见于题目问到why； 有时因果关系会用一些短语表示，如amount to / attribute to / in that / out of等。3、对应原文强调描述：如含有especially, primarily, most, only, adj.最高级等词的句子。4、对应系表结构（.is/are.）所在的长句，如：The prime difference is that. What they fear was that.5、对应原文的递进与总结：如all in all, in conclusion, moreover, in addition等。 注意：如果题目没有对应上原文的这些特征，也属正常。定位的唯一依据是题干信息。例子Americas injured workers could sue for damages in a court of law, but they still faced a number of tough legal barriers. For example, employees had to prove that their injuries directly resulted from employer negligence and that they themselves were ignorant about potential hazards in the workplace. One of the problems the American injured workers faced in getting compensation in the early 19th century was that _. (02-12-28)A. they had to have the courage to sue for damages in a court of lawB. different states in the U.S. had totally different compensation programsC. Americas average compensation benefit was much lower than the cost of livingD. they had to produce evidence that their employers were responsible for the accidentI came away from my years of teaching on the college and university level with a conviction that enactment (扮演角色), performance, dramatization are the most successful forms of teaching. Students must be incorporated, made, so far as possible, an integral part of the learning process. The notion that learning should have in it an element of inspired play would seem to the greater part of the academic establishment merely silly, but that is nonetheless the case. (03-6-26)The author believes that a successful teacher should be able to _.A. make dramatization an important aspect of students learningB. make inspired play an integral part of the learning processC. improve students learning performanceD. make study just as easy as play细节题（二）：正确答案与错误答案特征正确答案的特征： 1、符合题意，忠实原文； 2、是原文定位句的同义转述，含有同义词替换：解释型（最常见） 3、是原文定位句的取反表达：取反型 4、是原文某几句话的概括总结：总结型例子Motivated in part by Christian compassion (怜悯) for the helpless as well as a practical political impulse to undercut the support of the socialist labor movement, Chancellor Bismarck created the worlds first workers compensation law in 1884.The worlds first workers compensation law was introduced by Bismarck _. (02-12-31)A. to make industrial production saferB. to speed up the pace of industrializationC. out of religious and political considerationsD. for fear of losing the support of the socialist labor movement Ironically, high consumption may be a mixed blessing in human terms, too. The time-honored values of integrity of character, good work, friendship, family and community have often been sacrificed in the rush to riches. (02-12-38) Why does the author say high consumption is a mixed blessing? A. Because poverty still exists in an affluent society. B. Because moral values are sacrificed in pursuit of material satisfaction. C. Because overconsumption wont last long due to unrestricted population growth. D. Because traditional rituals are often neglected in the process of modernization. The success of Bill Gates and other non-MBAs, such as the late Sam Walton of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., has helped inspire self-conscious debates on business school campuses over the worth of a business degree and whether management skills can be taught. It seems that the controversy over the value of MBA degrees had been fueled mainly by _. (02-6-22)A. the complaints from various employersB. the success of many non-MBAsC. the criticism from the scientists of purer disciplinesD. the poor performance of MBAs at work错误答案的特征： 1、无中生有：出现原文没有的细节，如增添了不相关的名词或动词，或把某一句话画蛇添足。 2、偷换概念：将定位句的名词或动词，换为与文章有关的另一个名词或动词，这一点难以察觉，值得谨慎。 3、正反混淆：表述与原文的感情色彩相反，常为动词或形容词的错误。4、因果颠倒：将定位句中两事物出现的顺序颠倒，常通过表示因果关系的词来替换。5、答非所问：表述与原文一致，可惜不是题目问的（注意题目的主语是否与原文定位句的主语一致）。 熟练掌握错误答案的特征分成两种类型，一类是符合题干的错误（错词），一类是不符合题干的错误。例子The highly precise data from the two instrumentswhich, Bille hopes, will one day be found at the opticians (眼镜商) all over the worldserve as a basis for the production of completely individualized contact lenses that correct and enhance the wearers vision. Individualized contact lenses (Line 7, Para. 2) are lenses designed _. (03-6-38)A. to work like an astronomical telescopeB. to suit the wearers specific needsC. to process extremely accurate dataD. to test the wearers eyesight Billes lenses are expected to reach the market in the year 2000, and one tentative plan is to use the Internet to transmit information on patients visual defects from the optician to the manufacturer, who will then produce and mail the contact lenses within a couple of days. The physicist expects the lenses to cost about a dollar a pair, about the same as conventional one-day disposable lenses.Which of the following is true about Billes lenses? (03-6-40)A. Their production process is complicated.B. They will be sold at a very low price.C. They have to be replaced every day.D. Purchase orders can be made through the Internet. Contrast this with farming since the start of the industrial revolution. Competition from overseas led farmers to specialise and increase yields. Throughout this period food became cheaper, safer and more reliable. However, these changes have also led to habitat (栖息地) loss and to diminishing biodiversity. (08-12-53)53. Specialisation and the effort to increase yields have resulted in _.A. localised pollutionB. the shrinking of farmlandC. competition from overseasD. the decrease of biodiversity 常见表示因果关系的短语：A result in B A amount to B A give birth to B A account for B A responsible for B A give rise to B （以上短语A为原因，B为结果）A result from B A attribute to B A owe to BA originate from B A derive from B A stem from B（以上短语B为原因，A为结果）细节题（三）：处理文章中的单词、句子一、文章中不认识的单词（词汇题做法）： 1、标志：题干引用原文一个超纲单词，问其意思； 2、做法：词根词缀法：适合有明显词根词缀的单词；用此法的考生必须熟记常见的词根词缀，尤其是词根。如cess / gress表示“向前走”，verse / volve表示“旋转”，tain表示“维持、容纳”，ject表示“投、抛”，clude表示“关闭”，cide / cis表示“杀”等。 上下文猜测法：包括上下文同样词性的词（如均为名词），同样语法位置的词（如均为主语），句间关系（如因果、条件、并列关系等）；如： A and B, A, but. B. In spite of A, .B. 代入法：将四个选项的单词一一代入后阅读，根据语感看哪个最通顺。例子Some futurologists have assumed that the vast upsurge (剧增) of women in the workforce may portend a rejection of marriage. Many women, according to this hypothesis, would rather work than marry. The converse (反面) of this concern is that the prospects of becoming a multi-paycheck household could encourage marriages.The word “portend” (Line 2, Para. 1) is closest in meaning to “_”. (03-12-26) A. defy B. signal C. suffer from D. result fromWar is not simply a trial by combating to settle disputes between states; it is the moment when the state makes its most powerful demands upon its people for their commitment, allegiance, and supreme sacrifice.

(02-6-34) A. loyalty B. objective C. survival D. motive二、如何处理长句：1、主语从句（it做形式主语），如： Surely it should be obvious to the dimmest executive that trust, that most valuable of economic assets, is easily destroyed and hugely expensive to restore - and that few things are more likely to destroy trust than a company letting sensitive personal data get into the wrong hands. 2、宾语从句，如： Our enormously productive economy demands that we make consumption our way of life, that we convert the buying and use of goods into rituals, that we seek our spiritual satisfaction, out ego satisfaction, in consumption. 3、定语或同位语从句，如： The conventional view that education should be one of the very highest priorities for promoting rapid economic development in poor countries is wrong. 4、分清that的意思，如：The politicians demand of scientists that they tailor their research to economics needs, that they award a higher priority to research proposals that are near the market and can be translated into the greatest return on investment in the shortest time. A new high-performance contact lens under development at the department for applied physics at the University of Heidelberg will not only correct ordinary vision defects but will enhance normal night vision as much as five times, making peoples vision sharper than that of cats.例子Most government, perhaps all governments, justify public expenditure on scientific research in terms of the economic benefits the scientific enterprise have brought in the past and will bring in the future. Politicians remind their voters of the splendid machines our scientists have invented, the new drugs to relieve old ailments (病痛), and the new surgical equipment and techniques by which.What is the chief concern of most governments when it comes to scientific research? (05-12-24) A. Support from the votes.B. The reduction of public expenditure.C. Quick economics returns.D.

Given the lack of fit between gifted students and their schools, it is not surprising that such students often have little good to say about their school experience. In one study of 400 adults who had achieved distinction in all areas of life, researchers found that three-fifths of these individuals either did badly in school or were unhappy in school. Few MacArthur Prize fellows, .About Oliver Goldsmith, one of his teachers remarked, “Never was so dull a boy.” The author quotes the remarks of one of Oliver Goldsmiths teachers _. (04-6-27)A. to show how poor Olivers performance was at schoolB. to illustrate the strong will of some gifted childrenC. to explain how dull students can also be successfulD. to provide support for his argumentAnother factor contributing to the tendency to deny the assumption of a fixed human nature was that the concept has so often been abused as a shield behind which the most inhuman acts are committed. In the name of human nature, for example, Aristotle and most thinkers up to the eighteenth century defended slavery. (03-12-33)The author mentioned Aristotle, a great ancient thinker, in order to _. A. emphasize that he contributed a lot to defining the concept of “human nature”B. show that the concept of “human nature” was used to justify social evilsC. prove that he had a profound influence on the concept of “human nature”D. support the idea that some human traits are acquired推理题： 1、标志：题干含有infer, imply, learn, conclude, suggest这五个单词其一，可针对某一细节，某一段落，或者全文进行提问。 2、做法：针对细节或段落提问时，要仔细阅读相关句，从原文出发，选择意思接近原文而字面不同的选项。针对全文提问时，要利用排除法，将每个选项定位原文判断正误。 3、正确答案往往会将原文的叙述总结升华、或取反表达；或换个角度表达。错误答案字面上会大部分与原文一致，但仔细分析仍有错误。 4、判断题（Which of the following is true?）也属于推理题的范畴，这种题的解法是排除法。例子And with so much more money floating in the workers compensation system, its not surprising that doctors and lawyers have helped themselves to a large slice of the growing pie.

Now it seems the richness of the Terra Preta soils may explain how such civilizations managed to feed themselves. (05-6-15) From the passage it can be inferred that _.A) human activities will do grave damage to rainforestsB) Amazon rainforest soils used to be the richest in the worldC) farming is responsible for the destruction of the Amazon rainforestsD) there once existed an urban civilization in the Amazon rainforests主旨题与态度题主旨题：1、标志：题干含有main idea, topic, title, purpose, mainly concerned, mainly discussed等词，问全文或段落主题；2、做法：第一种：阅读首末段以及各段首句，尤其注意首末段的转折句；第二种
