As students progress through the mathematics courses, girls and boys show little difference in ability, effort, or interest

4、 in mathematics until adolescent years when course and career choices begin influencing school effort. Then, as social pressure increases and career goals are formed, girls decisions to reduce effort in the study of mathematics progressively cut them off from many professional careers in the future.

5、Many girls drop mathematics in high school or in the transition to college. Others drop out later. Women perform virtually as well as men in college mathematics courses, but beyond the bachelors degree women drop out of mathematics at twice the rate of men.

21、（60 marks, 60 minutes）Section APassage one. 答案：A 解析：根据题干信息 the learning ability of males and females in mathematics 可将 答案定位到第一段第二句。第一段提到：“一开始男生和女生在数学学习的能力、努 力程度或者兴趣方面并没有表现出太大的差异，直到青少年时期，课程和职业选择开始影 响到学习上的努力，他们之间的差距就拉开了。”文申的“青春期之前,几乎等同于 上高中 之前。而且第二段也提到：“有很多女生在高中或者在高中到大学的过渡期间放 弃了学习 数学。”这更加明确指示了此题的正确答案应

22、该是A选项。. 答案：C 解析：根据题干信息 the lowest percentage of degree earned by women 可将答 案定位到第三段第三句。原文提到：“在那些对数学要求最高的专业（比方，物理、工 程学、经济学、地理科学以及化学等专业），女生所占的比例最少。”再由第二段末尾处 的 46%、35%、17%可知，与数学有关的专业的学位越高。获得该学位的女生也就越少。 因此答案应为C。. 答案：D 解析：根据题干信息 limits womens access to careers, mathematically intensive sciences可将答案定位到第三段最

23、后一句。原文提到：“很多方面的资料都说明，限制 女性进入对数学水平要求较高的职业的最重要的因素是课程模式不同，而不是她们缺乏能 力。”故答案为D,其他几项都是干扰内容。.答案：B 解析：根据题干信息mathematical prodigies可将答案定位到第四段第一、二 句。文章最后一段提到：“数学天才中男生的比例要远高于女生但是，大多数学生的经历说明，在数学学习上享有均等机会的学生，不管男女，学习成绩几乎不会有太大的 差异。从个别学生（比方少年天才）身上推断出来的结论并不适用于一般人。”也就是 说， 数学天才中男生要多于女生，但这并不意味着男生就天生有学习数学的优势。应选Bo.答案：D 解析

24、：根据题干信息which of the following is true可知解答此题需通观全文。 此题需结合文章内容一一排除。第一段最后一句提到：“随着社会压力的不断增加以及职业目标的形成。女生决定在数学学习上不再那么用功”可见选项A表述正确。第二段第 三句提到:“当学习阶段超过了本科之后，放弃学习数学的女生的数量是男生的两倍可见 B也正确。第三段第二句提到：“女生人数比例最高的专业往往是那些对数学要求最低的专 业，比方心理学、生物学和社会学。”可见，女生倾向于选择心理学、生物学、社会学等专 业，故 C 也正确。文章并没有提到女性对数学比拟不感兴趣.也就无从推断这是她们不 能涉足许多职业的原

25、因，故D为正确答案。Passage two.答案：A解析：根据题干信息implies that war now is可将答案定位到第一段第四句。原 文中的modem与题干中的now对应，该句提到：“现代智慧已经改变了这种模式。要么 就是人类废止战争、要么就是战争摧毁人类。目前，最具危险性的是核武器，但是细菌 和化学武器也许会在不久的将来造成更大的威胁。可见作者认为由于科技的进步，如今战 争的杀伤力比以往更大，可能会摧毁整个人类。故答案为Ao12浙江专升本考前10套密押预测卷一英 语欣迈专升本-浙江专升本辅导专业品牌.答案：C解析：根据题干指示可直接将答案定位到第一段第九句。原文第九句提到： “

26、为到达这一目标,我们需要劝说人们以一种新的方式看待国际问题”。要想确知this的指代，我们需要向前寻找答案。上文说：“即使我们能成功废除核武器，我们的使命 也并不算完结。除非我们彻底消灭了战争，否那么我们的使命永远不算完成。”可见 this 指的就是消灭战争这一任务。答案为C。.答案：B解析：根据题干指示可直接将答案定位到文章第二段。此题考查作者对于 一些ideologies的看法，他说：“还有的人认为采用了这种或者那种意识形态就能防止 战争。我认为这种想法是个很大的错误。”接下来作者阐述了意识形态的教条性和可能 存 在的误导性。这与B项的说法吻合，其他几项均与文意不符。.答案：A解析：根据题

27、干指示可直接将答案定位到文章最后一段。四项的意思分别 是：国际协议现在更容易达成、人们开始认识到核战争的危险性、核战争绝不会发生、世界观点欢迎核战争。C项表达绝对化，D项有悖常理，这两项可先排除。而从该段第二句 中的commonplace 一词可知人类也不是刚刚才开始认识到核战争的危险，故排除B。因 此只剩下了 A选项。结合最后一段中作者的观点，“人们开始思考，即使那些能决定人 类生死存亡的实权人物也在思考：是否应该依靠谈判达成共识，甚至双方都发现那些共 识其实并不完全令人满意。”可知，与以前相比，国家之间现在更容易达成协议。应选A。.答案：D解析：根据题干信息无法定位。只能将选项一一与文中信

28、息进行比对来判 断。A项“战争是解决国际争端的唯一方式”显然与文章立意相悖，排除；B项“由于武 器的改进，战争将会变得越来越不危险”，根据作者在第一段中对核武器、生化武器的 阐 述可知该项不正确；C项“人类要想不发生战争就无法生存”也错误，否那么作者就不会倡导 人类消除战争了； D项“如果人类要生存就必须消除战争”正确，这也是第一段中“要么就是 人类废止战争，要么就是战争摧毁人类”的意思。应选DoPassage three.答案：B解析：定位:根据题干指示可直接将答案定位到第一段 解析:第一段主要介绍的 是关于空气污染物的定义，A 项“水蒸气在局部区域是一种空气污染物”与文中表述有出 入，文中

29、说的是“In the future., under certain conditions（在将来在特定的条件下）”;B项 “空气污染物的定义还会继续变化”,正确，原文提到:“空气污染需要灵活定义，从而可以 不 断变更，；C项“一种物质只有在城市才成为空气污染物，在文中找不到依据;D项“如今 的大局部空气污染物都 能被看到或闻到不正确，第一段提到，“能看到或能闻到“这 种定义已经和如今对污染物的定义有很悬殊的差异了，可以推知现在的extensive list包 含了许多看不见、闻不到的物质。应选B.答案：A 解析：定位:根据题干信息 natural pollutants play an impo

30、rtant role in controlling air pollution答案定位到第二段。第二段第二、三句提到:“随着地球的变化开展，这些污 染物的浓度经过各种各样的化学反响发生变化，它们成为生物地球化学循环的组成局部。这些循环作为一种空气净化方案，可以使那些混合物从空气中转移到水或者土壤中。”可见，大自然排放出的这些混合物是地球自我净化循环的一局部，答案为Ao.答案：D 解析：根据题干信息 the numerical value of the concentration level 和 is only useful可将答案定位到第三段第四句。解析:原文提到:“事实上，数值能告诉我们的信

31、息很 少，除非我们知道这意味着比该区域自然产生的浓度增加了多少。”这与D 项的表述吻合。.答案：D解析：根据题干信息可知解答此题需通观全文，把握作者的观点和意图后作 答。A项是“为有效控制污染，地方政府必须定期修订空气污染法规,B项是“保护自然13浙江专升本考前10套密押预测卷一英 语欣迈专升本-浙江专升本辅导专业品牌土地最重要的一步就是更好地强制推行空气污染的相关法规”，文中没有谈到与法规有 关 的事项，故二者都不能入选。C 项是“为了设定针对所有空气污染物的统一限制，需咨询 科学家的意见”在文中也未提及。D项是“在减轻空气污染方面，人类活动将具有影响力”， 原文提到“人类产生的空气污染物可

32、能会占据主导地位，而且还有可能暂时超出生物地球 化学循环的自然净化能力。这种情况导致的后果就是空气中不断汇集有害的化 学物质。”所 以如果人类的活动有所调整，将对减轻空气污染有积极的影响。应选D.答案：B解析：根据题干信息The passage mainly discusses可知此题考查文章的主旨， 需通观全文。四项分别为:空气污染的经济影响、空气污染物会产生多大的危害、空气污染物的构成、加入到大气中混合物的数量比拟可知B项较符合本文所介绍的主要内容， 文章主要介绍了空气污染物，包括人类生产和大自然产生这两个来源。Passage four.答案：D 解析：从第一段的最后一句可以看出，在抱歉时

33、如果加个but,会让孩子觉得 他自己应该为期待得到抱歉这一不好的行为而抱歉，D选项里的owe是“亏欠”的意思， 选Do.答案：B解析：“this suggests that”这句的意思是“在某种程度上你让你自己因为别 人的所作所为而变得沮丧就是不对的“，也就是说，我知道你是沮丧的，但是其实你没必 要沮丧，只有B符合。.答案：C解析：由第四段的最后一句里的does not commit a person to any specific improvement 可 知.答案：B解析：最后一句说到“因此不要诉诸于此类无用的抱歉 可知是让父母做 自己孩子的典范，不要这么做。.答案：D解析：文章前面的段

34、落都讲述了要怎么样教会孩子抱歉，最后一段却来了个 转折，说到抱歉的复杂性，not as simple as同义于complexity。Format II试题分析：本文向我们讲述了如何追求幸福的一些规那么，要和积极的人在一起。要经常想一想 那些让自己感觉快乐的事情，做一些让我幸福的事情。.答案：D解析：根据上文的两个问句，说明这些问题对那些追求幸福的人来说都是很重 要的问题。故D项符合上下文。.答案：B解析：上文说：如果你周围是一些不快乐的人，那么你也会不快乐。与之 相反，如果你周围都是一些快乐的人，那么你也会快乐起来。故B项符合上下文。.答案：E解析：根据下句开始These few minut

35、es说明E正确。要求我们每天花点时间 来思考什么让我们幸福。.答案：G 解析：根据本段内容可知是要人们为自己做一些好的事情，让自己感觉幸 福，故G项符合上下文。.答案：C解析：本局部第一句Keeping healthy说明保持健康也是一种幸福的形式，故 C项的说法符合上下文的语境。Section B.答案：A 解析：空格在系动词be和介词in之间，因此应填形容词或过去分词构成被动, 且其可与in搭配.根据句意可知，“人们一直认为，植物病毒不会感染动物，反之亦然， 但人类的粪便中却存在植物病毒。”文中的but表转折，结合选项可知，B. abundant in富于, 富含“符合句意，所以选Aabu
