ll.B解析:题干中的anover-relianceoncreditratings与原文中的over­

dependenceoncreditratings属于同义转述；文中的dilution意思是“稀释，

冲淡”；定位句意为“这种对信用评级的过度依赖会降低他们渴望的3A

评级的可信性”，由此可知本题答案为B。

12.yourprogressoyourprogresso解析：根据题干中的信息词measuring

yourwork定位到第二个小标题，再由encouragesyourdevelopment定位

到该部分提到的12个问题，其中倒数第二个问题中提到了talktome

aboutmyprogress,由此可得答案，即在评估自己的工作时，有必要考虑

工作中是否有人鼓励你发展，是否有人和你谈到你的进步。

13.protectpartnersfromAIDSprotectpartnersfromAIDS解析：本题需锁

定文章第八段。本段介绍了一组将ARVs用于防止艾滋病传播的试验,

目的是为了证明usingARVsbeforeexposuretoHIVmayhavethesame

effectinprotectingpartnersoDr.PeterDiot显然支持这种推测，根据题

干语法要求应将原文中的动名词protecting转换为动词原形protecto

14.C

15.A解析：由“FactorsthatReduceReadingRate”部分第11点“Theeffort

toremembereverythingratherthantorememberselectively.”可见阅读过

程中试图记住所有阅读内容会影响阅读的速度。故此句判断为YESO

16.B解析：由题干中的boughtthecar定位到文章首段第2、3句When

shefinallypicksup,...butIunderstandthatsheisbuyinganexperienceas

muchasapossession.文章首先提到她因能买到自己喜欢的车而兴奋，

接着又提到她并不仅仅是在买一辆车，而且还是在获取一种经历。题干

中的justbecauseshewantedtoownaPrius和原文中的sheisbuyin
