1Thepassageismainlyabout.

A、anewmedicalinvention

B>anewresearchonmemories

C^awayoferasingpainfulmemories

D、anargumentabouttheresearchonthepill

标准答案：D

知识点解析：做主旨题时一定要把整篇文章的内容结合在一起理解。这篇文章笔墨

用得比较多的是在最后五段话里，主要是讲前面所有研究引发的争论的内容。所以

本题不是简简单单地讲一个医疗的发明，也不是讲关于记忆的研究，更不是在讲一

种消除痛苦记忆的方式，而是在讲关于药物研究而引发的争论。

2、Thedrugtestedonpeoplecan.

A、causethebraintofixmemories

B、stoppeoplerememberingtheirexperiences

C>preventbodyproducingcertainchemicals

D、wipeouttheemotionaleffectsofmemories

标准答案：C

知识点解析：根据题干关键词testedonpeople定位到文章第三段。A项与文章意思

相反。B项阻止人们回忆起他的经历，与文意相反(notthatthememoriesarc

erased)oD项错在wipeout(消灭，彻底摧毁或被彻底毁坏)，根据文章的第三段内

容可以知道，这种theemotionaleffectsofmemories只是maybereduced,而不是彻

底消除，显然夸大了原文的意思。

3、Wecaninferfromthepassagethat.

A^peopledoubttheeffectsofthepills

B>thepillwillstoppeople'sbadexperiences

C^takingthepillwilldoharmtopeople,shealth

D^thepillhasprobablybeenproducedinAmerica

标准答案：D

知识点解析：A项与文意相反，并不是所有人都对这项研究持怀疑态度。B项这个

药物会阻止人们的不好的经历，夸大了文意。C项未提及。因此根据文章第二段第

一句话可以知道D项为正确答案。

4^WhichofthefollowingdoesRebeccaDresseragreewith?

A、Somememoriescanruinpeople'slives.

B、Peoplewanttogetridofbadmemories.

C、Experiencingbadeventsmakesusdifferentfromothers.

D、Thepillwillreducepeople'ssufferingsfrombadmemories.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：根据题干关键词RebeccaDresser定位到文章最后一段。根据最后一

段第一句话“…butmakeuswhoweare.”和前一段的总体介绍“…memoriesgiveus

ouridentity.''可以断定C为正确选项。

5、ThewordHscars"inParagraphOneiscloseinmeaningto.

A、goodstories

B、pains

C、experiences

D、memories

标准答案：B

知识点解析：首先定位到第一段，“暴力和交通事故会给人们留下可怕的身体和心

理上的”。再把四个选项代入，A.好故事，B.痛苦，C.经验，D.记忆，

比较一下即可看出B.痛苦最合文意。

theAmericanjoumalist,stranslatordiedassoonashewasstruck

C>thepolicewastoldtheabductionbyapasscr-by

D、theabductionhappenedinsidethecityofBaghdad

标准答案：D’

知识点解析：从文章第一段这则新闻的发生地“Baghdad,Iraq”以及第二段的”...in

theAdelsectionofthecity”以及第四段的“Thekidnappingtookplaceabout100yards

fromal-Dulaimi'soffice.”可以得知D是对的。从文章第二段的“thejoumalistwere

headingtomcctAdnanal-Dulaimi,“可以看出A是错的,covcranothcrabduction意思

是“采访另一起绑架事件从文章的第二段的“…thetranslatortoldthepolicebefore

hedied…”可以看出翻译不是受到袭击后立即就死了，也不是过路人向警察报告的

此事情，所以B、C都是错的。

7、WhydidtheinsurgentskidnaptheAmericanjournalist?

Onlytorobherofhermoney.

B、Torapeher.

C、Onlytotakeherhostage.

D^TomakeAmericantroopsoutofIraq.

标准答案：D

知识点解析:根据文章第四段的“…aimingtofbrceU.S.troopstoleaveIraqor

preventArabnationsfromstrengtheningtheirtieswiththeBaghdadgovemment"，可以

看出绑架的目的就是要迫使美国军队撤出伊拉克。

8、TheunderlinedwordReleased"inparagraph5means.

A、setfree

B、causedtomovefreely

C、madeknown

D^givenup

标准答案：A

知识点解析：根据上下文可以看出。上文有“Someofthehostageswerekilled,

while…”（有些人质被杀害，而...广而“表示转折，由此就可以推断released意思是

“释放”，还有下文的freed进一步印证了这一推断。

知识点解析：本题考查考生对文章主旨大意的把握。C项“影响健康生活方式的因

素”正确。其他三项都是以偏概全。

12>Theword"sedentary"inParagraph4probablemeans.

A、havingalotofthingstodo

B、involvinglittleexerciseorphysicalactivity

C、beingisolatedfromtheoutsideworld

D、experiencingalotofstress

标准答案：B、

知识点解析：本题考查特定语境中的词汇含义。答案定位到第四段。有关电脑、

DVD、CD、电视、游戏机的休闲活动都是需要坐着进行的，因此锻炼和身体活动

较少。所以B项正确。

13、WhichofthefollowingisNOTmentionedinthepassageasafactorleadingtothe

popularityoffastfood?

A、Cheapprice.

B、Themedia.

C、Busylifestyle.

D、Convenience.

标准答案：A

提及。

A、Pollution.

B、Economicfactors.

C>Dependenceuponcars.

D、Influenceoffamilyorfriends.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：本题考查细节和推断。A项和C项分别在第六段和第三段都很直接

地说到了。而D项隐含在第二、六段之中：父母都上班，孩子就必须承担更多的

家务；朋友、家人吸烟，会导致被动吸烟。而B项是没有提到过的。

15、Accordingtotheauthor,maybethemostimportantfactorinfluencing

healthylifestyles.

A、technology

B、culturalbackground

C、environment

D、thedesiretobehealthy

标准答案：D

人都可以过上健康的生活。

B、generalhistoryonlyfocusesonpolitics

C^arthistorygivesusaninsight（洞察力）intotheessentialqualitiesofatimeandaplace

D、generalhistoryconcernsonlyreligiousbeliefs,emotionsandpsychology

标准答案：C

知识点解析：本题可参见文章第一段的最后一句话“Inshort,artexpressesthe

essentialqualitiesofatimeandaplace,andastudyofitclearlyoffersusadeeper

understandingthancanbefoundinmosthistorybooks"，其实，该问题就是这句话的

翻版，即艺术能够更全面深刻地反映历史。所以选C。

C、itcaneasilyarousepeople'sangerabouttheirgovernment

D、artistswereorarereligious,whoreflectonlythereligiousaspectofthesociety

标准答案：A'

知识点解析：问题是“艺术是主观的，原因在于。”文章第二段中有一句话：

41Art,ontheotherhand»issubjective；itreflectsemotionsandopinions.“从这句话中

可以看出艺术是感情和观点的反映。所以选A。
