知识点解析：从第1段内容可知，英国和西班牙是欢盟中使用可卡因比例最高的国

tofigurefortheUS),由此推断美国是使用可卡因比例最高的国家。

知识点解析：第3段中讲到，大部分国家的治疗主要是针对可卡因粉末，而不是

“快克”的使用(Inmostcountries,treatmentisdemandedfortheuseofcocainepowder

知识点解析：根据第6段的“DeepconcernsurroundsthecontinuingHIVepidemicin

someofthenewEUmemberstatesandtheirborderingcountries,whereheroininjecting

ismorethanitisthewesternstates.“可知艾滋病在新加入欧盟的一些国家及其周边越

26、WhichofthefollowingistrueaccordingtoWHO?

标准答案：C

知识点解析：选项A的内容出现在第1段，但不是来自于世界卫生组织。选项B

可以排除，因为第2段中世界卫生组织说没有迹象显示很容易在人群中传播的混合

致命病毒已出现(nosignofakillerhybridvirusthatcouldeasilypassbetween

people)o选项D也可以排除，因为在第3段中，世界卫生组织说有证据表明禽流

感和人类流感的基因还未混合(therewasnomixingofgenesbetweenthebirdflustrain

andhumanflu)。第11段所述世界卫生组织的说法以及文章涉及到的一些国家控制

禽流感的做法明确证实了选项C是正确的。

27>Whichoneofthefollowingcountrieshasnotbeeninfectedwithhumanbirdflu?

标准答案：A

知识点解析：从第8段可以看出新加坡未受到感染［believedfreeofbirdflu),他之

所以制定杀鸡计划是为了防止禽流感的爆发，而其他几个国家都是已经被感染了。

因此选Ao

28、Accordingtothepassage,whichoneofthefollowingcountrieshasnotannounced

thecontainmentofbirdflu?

标准答案：D

知识点解析：第12段中，泰国、越南和巴基斯坦的官员都已经宣布控制了本国的

禽流感爆发，而文中并没有相关美国官员的话明确证实美国是否已经控制禽流感，

所以选D。

29、Whichofthefollowingisfalseaccordingtothepassage?

标准答案：B

知识点解析：对于文章开头提到的泰国新出现的3名病例，文章在第7段中说有两

名已经恢复，而第3名仍在接受重症特别护理(inimensivecare),并没有死亡，所

以B是错误的，应当选B。

30、Thispassageismostlikelytocomefrom.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：本文带有明显的新闻体风格，很可能摘自一篇新闻，而没有任何证据

表明它来自于一本科学书籍、世界卫生组织的调查或者是联合国粮农组织的报告。

所以A项为正确答案。

31、Whichofthefollowingconclusionsisnotcompatiblewiththemainideasofthe

article?

标准答案：C

知识点解析：看最后一段，机师工会对目前的情况十分恼火。在历年的谈判中，工

会往往放弃提薪的要求以换取更好的退休福利待遇，可现在都成了泡影。在他们看

来，退休金和工资都一样，都是他们应得的福利，并非公司额外的犒赏，没钱的时

候就可以一笔勾销。公司也不能因为遇到一些法律纠纷就逃避这些他们应承担的义

务，一走了之。这一问题应当在大选中成为焦点。当然，这只是机师工的看法，实

际上，大选还顾不上这事，这也让很多机师工不平。

32、"Eitherway,oncepilotsareforcedtoleavethecockpitat60,mostwillprobably

lookloranotherjobratherthanloungeonthegolfcourse."Inthe8thparagraph,this

sentencemeansthat.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：本句意思是：原本这些飞行员60岁退休后可以凭着优厚的养老金在

高尔夫球场悠游自在，可现在恐怕还得找些零活以充实退休之后的生活，否则没钱

过得很滋润。由此可见，他们的退休金被削减的幅度之大。

33、Whichofthefollowingisnotsuggestedbytheauthorasfarasgettingbetterpre­

paredforretirementisconcerned?

标准答案：B

知识点解析：作者的建议还是提醒美国公众大的环境已改变，要认清形势sec

thebigpicture),认识到退休后的生活幸福与否应该由自己去把握，不要过多指望

企业和政府，要清楚掌握情况，明智进行投资，同时拥有充分的积蓄。结合本书中

关于目前美国国内提倡的“所有权社会''的文章，可以看到美国目前的退休福利制度

也在进行着较大幅度的改革。

34、Whyhastheonusofrelirenienlsecuritybeenshiftedfromlargerfirmsonio

individuals?Pickanexplanation.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：目前美国企业员工退休制度正在发生变化，主要是由于经济全球化冲

击，以及国内经济管制的放松导致竞争加剧，是各企业不得不采取措施加以对应，

以维持竞争力，谋求发展。所以D项为正确答案

36Inthelast2ndparagraph,thebasicproblemwiththefreightrailindustryisthat

标准答案：D

知识点解析：铁路运输业投资规模很大，但投资回报率不高，无法实现投资成本，

由此导致产能不足，即缺乏投资者介入，因而政府方面考虑米取一些投资激励措施

以引导更多资金流入这一行业。因而“不是十分有利可图”是铁路货运业的基本症结

所在。

37、Accordingtotheauthor^advice,howshouldtheproblemwiththefreightrail

industrybesolved?

标准答案：A

知识点解析：由政府方面采取措施鼓励投资、扩大产能、降低单位货运成本，以带

越高，只有政府介入，进行一定的扶持，才能实现，否则可能规模越大，赔的越

多O

39、Accordingtothearticle,incomparisonwithfreighttrucks,freightrailhasallofthe

followingadvantagesexceptthat.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：论方便还是公路交通运输筹划更为灵活一些。文章倒数第2段说，在

政府扶持下，铁路运营企业扩大产能，可以提供更为方便、准时、质量更好的服

务。

40、Thetoneofthepassageseemstobe.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：文章实事求是地指出了铁路货运的问题，并提供了解决办法，引用了

大量数据，目的在于以理服人。所以应选A。
