1、WhichofthefollowingstatementsisTRUEaccordingtothepassage?

A、TheBibleisthemostwidelyusedreferencebook.

B、Thedictionaryisthemostwidelyusedreferencebook.

C^ThedictionaryisactuallythemorewidelyusedbookthantheBible.

D、TheBibleisusedaswidelyasthedictionary.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：细节题。文章笫一段指出，没有任何参考书，也许没有任何书像，词

典'’这样被广泛地应用一除了《圣经》之外。这说明，词典的应用同《圣经》一

样广泛。这与D项的意思相符。A、B和C都与文章的意思不相符。

2、By"thegreatchange"inpresent-daydictionaries,theauthorimpliesthat

A>dictionariesseemtohavemanywrongideasinthemfortheaveragepersons.

B、manyaveragepersonsdonotknowhowtousethedictionariesprofitably.

C^wordsappearinginapresent-daydictionarymaynotbeacceptableingoodwriting.

D、dictionarieshavedifferentsystemsofmarkingthewordstheycontain.

标准答案：c

知识点》析：推论题。文章第三段后半部分指出，自从18世纪词典首次得到明确

规定后，很长时间以来，词典的宗旨就只是用来收录最优秀的作家所使用的词汇，

所有其他的词汇都被禁止收录，所以编辑者总是宣称这样的词典收录的词汇“少”；

显然，词典的这个方面在普通入的心目中占据了如此重要的位置，以至于如今大多

数人们并不知道现代的词典编辑工作己发生过巨大的变化。这说明，优秀的写作中

可能不认同现代词典中出现的词汇。这与C项的意思相符。A、B是文中明确说明

的，不必推论就可知结果，所以不对；文中只是说“尽管大多数词典有一套标明某

些单词已弃用的体系”，并没有说“词典在标明其所收录的词汇方面有不同的体

系”，所以D不对。

3、Manypeopledonotrealizethat

A、itisnoteasyfbrdictionary-makerstocompileadictionary.

B、dictionarieshaveachievedsuchimportancetoday.

C^adictionarytodaymaycontain"low"words.

D、wordsinadictionarymaybeoutofdateorusedonlyasslang.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：细节题。文章第三段指出，自从18世纪词典首次得到明确规定后，

很长时间以来，词典的宗旨就是只用来收录最优秀的作家所使用的词汇，所有其他

的词汇都被禁止收录，所以编辑者总是宣称这样的词典收录的词71“少”；如今大多

数人们并不知道现代的词典编辑工作己发生过巨大的变化。这说明，大多数人并不

知道现代的词典收录的词汇“少这与C项的意思相符。文中没有提到A、B；D

与文章的意思不相符。

4、Whencanonequotefromdictionariestosettlehisargumentsdecisively?

A^Whenhelooksupinadictionarythathasabsoluteauthority.

B、Whenthebasicmeaningofawordfoundinonedictionaryisconfirmedinother

ones.

C、Whenadictionarypresentsadefinitionthatthebasicmeaningofwhichcannotbe

alteredbythespeakers.

D、Whenthecompilerofthedictionaryisareputableperson.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：细节题。文章最后一段指出，普通入总是以为，“这本词典”有绝对的

权威，并且引用它来支在自己的观点；尽管这是一种优势，因为词典给出了某个定

义的基本意思，说话者不可能改变这个意思、，但是，只有在所有词典对争论的要点

解释相同时这个意思才可能被接受。这说明，只有好几本词典对争论的要点解释相

同时，人们才能引用词典支持自己的观点。这与B项的意思相符。A是普通入的

观点，与文章的意思不符；C也与文章的意思不符：文中没有提到D。

5、Accordingtotheauthor,differencesbetweendictionariesorinadictionaryusually

resultfrom

A、varieddefinitionsofaword.

R、thedifferentpurposesofmakingthem.

C、misinterpretationsofusers.

D、differentjudgmentofthecompilers.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：细节题。文章最后一段指出，词典的权威性最终只依赖于词典编辑者

的权威性，并且，无论他可能多么仔细，词典编辑者都可能犯错误，声誉好的词典

也可能在观点上有分歧，实际上，同一本词典的不同部分也可能有差别。这说明，

作者认为，不同词典之间或者一本词典中存在差异通常源于编辑者的观点不同。这

与D项的意思相符。A、B和C都与文章的意思不符。

childhood.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：归纳题。文章第一段第一句话指出，研究人员对于调整孩子成长的早

期环境越来越感兴趣——人们觉得此时的孩子有缺乏智力的危险。这说明，研究人

员越来越意识到环境对孩子成长的影响。这与B项的意思相符。A、C明显与文章

的意思不符；文中没有提到D。

7、Whatdoestheword"impoverished"(Para.I)mean?

A^Improved.

B、Enhanced.

C、Poor.

D^Missing.

标准答案：C

知识点角］析：词义题。文章第一段指出，研究人员对于调整孩子成长的早期环境越

来越感兴趣，人们觉得，此时的孩子有缺乏智力的危险；克雷格・瑞迈及其同事实

施了一个计划，招聘了一些平均智商为80的怀孕女性进行研究：第二段指出，孩

子三岁时，那些接受教育日托中心照料的孩子的智商明显高于在家中照料的孩子。

这说明，该单词的意思应该是“贫乏的这与C项的意思相符。A、B和D都与文

章的意思不符。

8、Itisimpliedinthepassagethatthebabiesatthedaycarecenter

A、weregivenmoremedicalcarethanthoseathome.

B、werebornofmotherswithhigherIQs.

C^wererearedunderamorefavorableenvironment.

D、weremorecloselyattendedtobytheirmothers.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：推论题。文章第二段指出，孩子三岁时，那些接受教育日托中心照料

的孩子的智商明显高于在家中照料的孩子；到孩子五岁时，在家里抚养的孩子中，

39%的智商低于85,而在教育H托中心接受护理的孩子中，只有11%的智商低于

85。这说明，日托中心的孩子受抚养的环境更好。这与C项的意思相符。文章第

一段最后一句话说“两组婴儿都得到医疗服务和饮食供给，如果需要的话，他们的

家庭可以得到社会的帮助“，这里并没有说哪种婴儿得到的医疗护理多，所以A不

对；文中没有提到B、Do

9、ThefindingthatchildrenrearedathomehadlowIQsatage12indicates

B、educationaldaycarecentersarcthebestplaceforchildrentogrowupin.

C、intellectualdevelopmentandacademicachievementofchildrenarecloselyrelated.

D、theageof12isacriticalpointintimeforintellectualdevelopmentinchildren.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：细节题。文章第二段最后一句话指出，教育日托中心的护理对孩子的

智力发展和学业成绩产生积极影响的时期明显是在孩子12岁时；第三段第一、二

句话指出，一些家长在为婴儿的智力需求提供一个适当的环境时面临困难。这说

明，在家抚养的孩子12岁时智商之所以低，是因为其父母没能力为其智力需求提

供适当的环境。这与A项的意思相符。文中没有提到B、C；D与文章的意思不

符。

10、Itisclearfromthepassagethattheauthoradvocates

A、providingenoughdaycarecentersforchildrenofworkingmothers.

B、earlyinterventioninchildren'sintellectualgrowth.

C、thenaturaldevelopmentofchildren'sintelligence.

D、deprivingpoormothersoftheopportunitiestoraisetheirchildrenathome.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：细节题。文章第三段指出，对家庭的早期干预的目的是为了改变父母

对孩子所起有适应性的、易起反应的作用，以便将其持久的负面影响减少到最低限

度；第四段指出，早期干预对于那些受教育少的母亲更有效，对非洲裔美国小孩比

对白人小孩更有效，对大多数有智力缺陷的小孩更有效；最后一段指出，干预计划

对孩子的幸福有最积极的影响。这说明，作者倡导对孩子的智力发展进行早期干

预。这与B项的意思相符。文中没有提到A、D；C是作者反对的观点。

1、Thecloserasocietygetstozeropopulationincrease,

标准答案：F

知识点解析:从题干的句法特征可以判断出,这是一个themore...themore…的比

较结构，表达“越……就越……”的信息。七个选项之中，只有F能够满足句法的要

求。本题源自于第一段最后一句.

2、Thedependencyratiomeans

标准答案：E

知识点解析：如果从题感分析，动词：means后面可以出现从句，如D；也可以接

名词结构，如E和G。本句源自第二段第三句破折号里面的成分，可知E满足原

旬的信息。

3、AworldconferencewasheldatVichyinFranceto

标准答案：C

知识点解析：分析题干可知，t。是一个动词不定式的符号(另外一个用法是介词)，

后面承接动词原型。本题源自于第三段最后一句。

4、TheEuropeanshavegrownsooldbecauseof

标准答案：G

知识点解析：分析题干可知，becauseof后面承接一个名词结构，只有E和G满足

句法条件。本题源自于第四段第一句，句子中有一个强调结构和ratherthan引出的

并列结构。

5、Ifyouareawoman,you're

标准答案：B

知识点解析：根据题干的句法特征可知，这里需要一个表语。通常形容词或者分词

充当表语，A或者B都满足句法条件。本题源自最后一段最后一句。

A、haveneverbeensomaterialisticastoday.

B、haveneverbeensointerestedinthearts.

C、haveneverbeensofinanciallywelloffastoday.

D^haveneverattachedsomuchimportancetomoralsense.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：细节题。艰据第一段中的“…morematerialandlessaltruisticthanatany

timeinthe17yearsofthepoll.”可知,A项正确。B与文章的意思相反；文中是说学

生的主要目标(objective)是tobefinancialwelloff,而C项却将objective替换成现在

的状态(asioday),所以C不对；D的意思与原文相反。

2、Thestudents,criteriafbrselectingmajorstodayhavemuchtodowith

A^theinfluencesoftheirinstructors.

B、thefinancialgoalstheyseekinlife.

C、theirowninterpretationsofthecourses.

D>theirunderstandingofthecontributionsofothers.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：细节题。眼据第二段中的“…themajorobjectiveistobefinancialwell

off.”可知，B项正确。A、C、D都与文章的意思不符。

3、Bysaying"Whileil'struethat...betheyscientificorartistic*'(Para.5),theauthor

A^businessmanagementshouldbeincludedineducationalprograms.

B、humanwisdomhasaccumulatedatanextraordinarilyhighspeed.

C、humanintellectualdevelopmenthasreachednewheights.

D、theimportanceofabroadeducationshouldnotbeoverlooked.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：词义题。眼据第五段中的“Whileit'struethat...orartistic.”以及后面的

两句话“Itisequallytruethat,instudy...toseebeyondourimmediateneeds.“可知,D

项正确。A是作者要批评、纠正的；B、C只是一种现象，并不是作者的观点。

4、Studyingthediversewisdomofotherscan

A、createvaryingartisticinterests.

B>helppeopleseethingsintheirrightperspective.

C、helpimproveconnectionsamongpeople.

D、regulatethebehaviorofmodernpeople.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：细节题。艰据第五段最后两句话可知，B项正确。A并不是artisiic

interest；文中说的是connectionbetweenthings,而不是C项中的connectionamong

people,所以不对；文中并没有谈到规范人们的行为，所以D也不对。

5、Whichofthefollowingstatementsistrueaccordingtothepassage?

A、Businessmenabsorbedintheircareerarcnarrow-minded.

B、Managersafterfindithardtotellrightfromwrong.

C^Peopleengagedintechnicaljobsleadamorerewardinglife.

D^Careerseekersshouldnotfocusonimmediateinterestsonly.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：细节题。纵观全文可知，D项正确。A、B过于绝对；C明显与文章

的意思不符。

A、customerserviceinIsraelisnowimproving.

B、wealthyIsraelicustomersarehardtoplease.

C、thetouristindustryhasbroughtchainstorestoIsrael.

D、Israelicustomerspreferforeignproductstodomesticones.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：推论题。纵观全文可知，本文主要谈论的正是近年来以色列服务水平

的提高，所以A项正确。文章第•句话是说消费者对厂家和商家的要求日益提

高，而不是消费者很难被取悦(hardtoplease),所以B不对；文中是说去国外旅游

的人增多了，大量美国公司进入以色列，但并没有说旅游业将连锁店(chainstore)

带入了以色列，所以C也不对；文中只是说以色列入出国享受到好的服务后，也

希望在国内享受到同样的服务水平，并不是说更喜欢国外的产品，所以D也不

对。

7^Intheauthor'sview,higherservicestandardsareimpossibleinIsrael

A、ifcustomercomplaintsgounnoticedbythemanagement.

B、unlessforeigncompaniesareintroducedingreaternumbers.

C>ifthere'snocompetitionamongcompanies.

D、withoutstrictroutinetrainingofemployees.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：细节题。文中笫一段最后一句话说“Nulhingh叩penswilhuul

competition.^这说明C项正确。文中没有提到A；国外公司大量进入可以形成竞

争，但不是高标准服务的直接、根本原因，所以B不对；文中是说对服务标准的

高要求导致了商家对员工的严格培训，而不是相反，所以D也不对。

8、IfsomeoneinIsraeltodayneedsarepairmanincaseofapowerfailure,

A、theycanhaveitfixedinnotime.

B、it'snolongernecessarytomakeanappointment.

C、theappointmenttakesonlyhalfadaytomake.

D、theyonlyhavetowaithalfanhouratmost.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：细节题。文章第二段第六句话说“Now,appointmentsarescheduledto

thehalf-hour."，这与D项的意思相符。A、B、C都与文章的意思不符。

9^TheexampleofElAlAirlinesshowsthat

A、revengefulcustomersareathr
