4、Whichofthefollowingmatchesbetweenculturesandspeciesandflavoringsis

INCORRECT?

A、Chinese:soysauce,ginger.

German:sourcream,mustard.

C、Brazilian:chillipeppers,palmoil.

D、Italian:cheese,oliveoil.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：细节题、文章第六段点出每个文化都有属于自己的特别的香料调料组

合，对应来看可以发现意大利食品里面没有列出奶酪。

5、Whatistheauthor'sattitudetowardsvariationsintastesacrosscultures?

A、Perplexed.

B、Open-minded.

C>Indifferent.

D、Stubborn.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：态度题。通篇来看.作者几次对比了不同文化人群养成的不同口味，

言语中充满了理解的态度，没有褒贬。选项A（困惑的）、C（不在乎的）和D（倔强的）

都不符合。

6、Whydidtheauthormentioncheese?

A、Toshowwhatisedible.

B、Togiveacomparableexampletochoudoufu.

C、Tuexpressllicaulhufslovelurchccsc.

D、Tocitetwoofthemostpopularcheese:CheddarandJackcheese.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：主旨题。本题虽然考查的是细节，但是需要明确全篇的主旨和作者的

整体态度，才能正确理解。作者提到芝士奶酪，主要是作为和臭豆腐对比的一个例

子，来说明从一个文化习得的特别口味，放之其他文化，很可能是难以下咽的。

7、WhichstatementrepresentsLucyLong'sideasproperly?

A、Theeaterofnot-edibleandtheeaterofunpalatablearethesame.

B、Theeaterofnot-edibleisaweirdoneofus.

C、Thecaterofunpalatableisnotacceptableasoneofus.

D、Weacceptthosewhohaveunpalatabletastes,butnotthosewhoeatthenot-edible.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：推断题。先根据LucyLong的名字定位到文章倒数第二段。通过排比

的句式，可以看出eaterofnot-edible被视作非我族类的异类，而eaterofunpalatable

只是被看作口味不同而已。

8、WhichofthefollowingstatementsisFALSEaccordingtothearticle?

A、NimaVeiseh'sperfectmemorywascausedbyhisfirstlove.

B、NeuroscientistsareinterestedinpeoplelikeVeisehbecauseoftheirmemorizing

ability.

C、ThereisnosufficientevidencesuggestingthataltruismisrelatedtoHSAM.

D^PeoplewithHSAMcouldrememberexactdetailsabouttheirlife.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：细节题。根据NimaVeiseh的名字，可以定位到文章第四段。原文说

Nima本来记忆就不错，而他的超强记忆能力的产牛.似乎是在好朋友16岁生日之

后，可能与他当时爱上了一个人有关，但并没有明确说就是这个原因。选项B、C

在后面两段都有所提及，与文中原意相符。选项D根据文中对Veiseh的描述可以

推断出。故选A。

A、Datesofhereveryvisittothelab.

Persona]incidentsinherdiary.

C、DateonwhichMichaelPhelpswonthe8thgoldmedalinBeijingOlympics.

D、Worldeventsonspecificdates.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：细节题。题干问的是用来测试Price记忆力的内容，主要注意选项

C,它的确是测试内容，但是针对的是Veiseh而不是Price。

10、WhichofthefollowingisCORRECTaboutpeoplewithHSAM?

A、Theyhaveperfectmemorythatnevergoeswrong.

B、Theirmemoryofeventschangesovertime.

C^Theirbrainsaredifferentbecauseoftheirmemoryability.

D、Theirextraordinaryabilityappliesonlytolifeeventsrelatedtothemselves.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：细节题。文中明确说明超强记忆力拥有者并非拥有完美的记忆力，与

选项A不符。他们的记忆并不随时间的变化而变化，与选项B不符。他们的脑部

与正常人有差异，但是科学家并不能确定他们的记忆能力和脑部构造差异哪个是

因，哪个是果，与选项C不符。故选D。

A、Muchmoresimilarorderswouldbeissuedinthefuture.

B、Theorderscamefromacoldplace.

C、Aboutthesamenumberoforderswouldbegivensoon.

D、Noneoftheabove.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：推断题。本题需要理解冰山一角的含义，指的是整体中的一小部分。

在文中就是指还会下达更多类似的强制交易的法令。

D、Allowthemayeartoselltheirpropertiesiftheycomeforwardvoluntarilybefore

标准答案：D

知识点解析：细节题。信息见文章第九段，政府给所有外国投资者一个时间节点，

即11月31日，在此之前如果主动承认购买的房产是钻了法律的空子，则购买人可

以有一年的时间转卖掉房产，不会被罚款或起诉。选项A与文章主旨不符，选项

B将时间节点张冠李戴，选项C混淆了第八段的相关信息。故选D。

C^increasehouseconstructiontoboostdomesticeconomy

D^allowtemporaryresidentstobuyhomes

标准答案：B

知识点解析：细节题。信息见文章最后一段。选项A,根据文中表述，罚款和三年

牢狱的惩罚是二选一的关系，不是并列关系。选项C提到的是已经出现的事实，

不是可能会实施的方案。选项D是以前的规定，今后要修改的。故选B。
