B、Nearly75%ofstudentsexperiencedmentalhealthproblemsinschool.

C、Therearesomelawclausestoforbiddiscriminationonmentaldisabilities.

D、Studentswithmentalhealthproblemscanhavelov/eracademicloads.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：细节题。第一段第二句提到，2011年，被心理疾病联盟诊断为心理

健康状况不佳的大学生中，有接近四分之二的受访者称曾在学校经历过心理健康危

机。由此可知，只是受访者中有75%的学生曾在学校中经历过心理健康危机，而

不是所有学生中的75%,B项扩大了范围，故为答案。根据第一段第一句可知，

根据美国大学健康协会最新的年度全国调查，有30%的学生称，在过去的一年

中，有些时候会感到“如此沮丧，难以正常生活”，故排除A项；根据第一段第三

句可知，《美国残疾人法案》和其他联邦残疾法规都有规定，不得歧视“严重影响

主要生活活动”的精神残疾学生，并要求院方为他们进行“合理的调整”，比如减轻

课业压力、延长最后期限，故排除C项和D项。

22、StudentswithmentaldisabilitiesmightbepunishedinthefollowingwaysEXCEPT

A^gettingoutofcampusdorms

B、droppingoutofschools

C、stayinginpsychiatricwards

D^prolongingacademicyears

标准答案：D

知识点解析：细节题。第二段第一句提到，有精神问题的学生会因为寻求帮助而受

到惩罚：他们被赶出学校宿舍以至于无处可去，被毫无征兆地勒令退学，甚至被强

制送去精神科病房，分别对应A项B项和C项，故均排除，因此本题选D项c

23、Increasingcollegestudentsturntoprofessionalcounselorsforhelpbecause.

A、greateffortshavebeenmadetoweakenthefeelingofdisgrace

B>itisencouragedtodecreasethedoseofmedicine

C、itismoreeconomicalfbrstudentswithoutincome

D^mentalhealthconditionsbecomemoreseverethanbefore

标准答案：A

知识点解析：细节题。艰据第三段第一句可知，多亏一些因素，包括抗抑郁处方受

众率的提高及减少歧视的努力，大学生越来越愿意向咨询师寻求帮助，故本题选

[A1,同时排除B项。C项和D项均未提及，故可排除。

24、KarenBowerbelievesthat,.

A、stricterdisciplineshouldbeappliedtosolvementalhealthproblems

B、campussafetyproblemsarcgettingmoreandmoreSerious

C、discouragingstudentsfromaskingfbrhelpleadstosafetyproblems

D^studentshavemanywaystodealwithmentalhealthcrises

标准答案：C

知识点解析：推理题。第四段提到，很多政策都有过度惩罚和强制学生离校之嫌，

而且学校不鼓励学生寻求应有的帮助。最终，这会让学校变得更加不安全。由此可

推知，不鼓励学生寻求帮助会导致安全问题，故本题选C项，同时排除A项。B

项和D项在文中并未提及，故均可排除。

25、AccordingtoParagraph5,itcanbeconcludedthat.

A、suicideshouldbetakenasthemostseriousissue

B、10%ofthestudentshavemadeasuicideattempt

C>mostofthestudentswithsuicidalthoughtwillneverdoit

D、schoolsshouldimposesevererestrictionsonthesuicideissue

标准答案：C

知识点解析：推理题。第五段第二句提到，与其他的研究数据结合起来看，这一差

距说明，在有过自杀想法的人中，只有千分之一的人最终自杀了，故本题选C

项。A项在文中并未提及，故排除；根据第五段第一句可知，有大约10%的大学

生受访者曾想过自杀，同时，仅有1.5%的人坦然承认曾有过自杀的尝试，故排除

B项；D项在文中并未提及，故排除。

B、womengenerallyexperiencehigherunemploymeniratesthanmen

C>workersinpart-timejobsareusuallypaidlessthanthoseinfull-timejobs

D、womenhavethesameaccesstocollegeeducationastheirmalecounterparts

标准答案：C

知识点解析：推理判断题。根据题干提示可定位至第•段。该段第三句指出许多上

班族妈妈赚的比男性少，是因为她们想要的这种工作和工作安排确实报酬低。该段

最后一句指出.女性做兼职工作的可能性是男性的两倍，由此可知兼职工作的薪酬

要少于全职，故C项正确。由该段第三句可知，许多上班族妈妈想要的这种工作

和工作安排确实报酬低，而非她们喜欢低薪酬的工作及工作安排，故排除A项；

该段并未提及有关男性和女性的失业率问题，故排除B项；由该段最后一句可

知，目前的劳工数据证实了这些猜想：女性兼职的可能性是男性的两倍，尽管女性

也更可能受过大学教育，并因此更具有市场竞争力，从该句无法推出女性与男性拥

有同等的接受大学教育的机会，D项为过度推断，放排除。

27、WhatcanweknowabouttheNetherlands?

A、Ithasestablishedasoundsocialsecuritysystem,especiallyfbrwomen.

B、Thedegreeofinequalitybetweenmenandwomenisrelativelylow.

C^Mostmotherschoosetobestay-at-homemomsfbrtheirfamilies.

D、1herearcmorehousewivesthanworkingmothers.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：事实细节题。根据题干关键词theNelherkmds定位至第二段。由该段

第三句可知，荷兰安全保障体系健全，性别高度平等，由此可知其男女不平等的程

度相对较低，故B项正确。根据第二段第四句可知，荷兰保障体系健全，而不是

荷兰对女性的社会保障体系健全，故排除A项：该段第四句指出在荷兰大部分母

亲还是选择花更多的时间陪伴家人，而非大多数母亲为了家庭选择做家庭主妇，C

项属于过度推断，故排除；根据该段第三句也并不能推出家庭主妇的人数要多于职

业女性，故排除D项。

28、ItcanbeimpliedfromParagraph3thatthedisadvantagesofpart-timeemployment

A、faroutweighitsadvantages

B、maybebalancedbyitsadvantages

C、arenomorethanthoseoffull-timeemployment

D、mayactuallybelessscarythanpeoplethink

标准答案：C

知识点解析：推理判断题。根据题干提示定位至第三段。该段第二句指出，事实上

兼职工作的消极影响可能都被夸大了，或者至少可能被全职工作带来的同等的负面

影响抵消了。由此推出，兼职的弊端等于或少于全职的弊端，故C项为正确答

案。该段并未比较兼职工作的弊端与优势孰轻孰重，因此A项B项均与原文不

符，予以排除；由该段准断不出人们对兼职弊端的恐惧，故排除D项。

29、Whichofthefollowingistheadvantageofpart-timework?

A、Takingcareofthefamilieswithoutmissingopportunitiesforpromotions.

Copingwithdailychoresmostlybymothers.

C、Cuttingtheexpensesonvariousproductsthatwouldberequiredbyfull-timework.

D、Enjoyingholidaypay,sickpayandotherextrasthatcomewiththejob.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：事实细节题。根据题干关键词advantageofpart-timework定位至第

四、五段。根据第五段第三句可知，做兼职可以省下一些全职工作者用来减少疲惫

和解决时间紧张问题所需要的开支，故C项正确。第四段第三句指出，兼职工作

者能照顾到更多的家庭成员，同时保留自身大部分的职业特征和工作技能，而非不

用失去升职的机会，故排除A项；第五段表明夫妻共同处理家务，故排除B项；

这两段并未提及兼职工作者可以享有假期薪水、病假薪水以及其他工作福利，故排

除D项。

30、Whatistheauthor'sattitudetowardmotherswithpart-timejobs?

A、Indifferent.

B、Suspicious.

C、Pessimistic.

D、Positive.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：观点态度题。作者在文章最后一段指出，我们不应该认为每个人都对

工作有同等的追求，并以此限定男女的价值。由此可见，作者对于做兼职工作的母

亲的态度是肯定的，故D项正确。A项“漠不关心的”B项“怀疑的”和C项“悲观的”

都与文意不符，予以排除。

B、GoogleWaveoffersaplatformtoexchangeinformationamongusers.

C、TheoriginalityofGoogleMapscomesfromMr.Schmidt.

D^GmaiLwhichboostssearch-relatedadvertising,ispopularandprofitable.

标准答案：B」

知识点解析：事实细节题。第四段最后一句指出，“谷歌波浪”的用户可以在“浪''发

布文木、图像、网络收藏和其他信息，还可以和其他的用户交换评论，因此B项

正确。第一段第二句提到了谷歌的两种新产品，一是Chrome浏览器的新版本，另

一个是“快翻”，是后者可以让读者像翻阅印刷的报纸一样浏览网络新闻，故A项

错误；第六段最后一句提到拉斯姆森也参与过“谷歌地图”的研发，而由第三段第一

句可知，施密特是谷歌的首席执行官和创始人，C项错误；最后一段第三句指出，

谷歌的许多受欢迎的创新产品，比如Gmail,都给一些可以盈利的与搜索相关的广

告让路了，这些广告收入几乎是谷歌全部的收入，因此D项错误。

32、WhowouldprobablyholdanegativeattitudetowardsGoogleWave?

LarryPage.

B、Techfolk.

C、SomeGooglers.

D^LarsRasmussen.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：推理判断题。由第五段第二句得知，这个新项目在谷歌员工内部激起

了很高的热情，同时也引来•些争议，因此可以判断谷歌内部的•些员工可能会对

这个新产品持反对意见，故C项正确。由第三段第一句得知，拉里・佩奇是谷歌的

创始人之一，谷歌公司鼓励员工创新，老板是不会反对新产品的研发和推出的，故

排除A项；第五段第一句指出，“谷歌波浪”让极客们很兴奋，无法判断这些人是

持反对意见的，故排除B项；由第五段最后一句得知，拉尔斯・拉斯姆森是“谷歌波

浪”的负责人之一，因此他不可能持有反对意见，故排除D项。

33、Accordingtothepassage,whichofthefollowingisthechallengethatGoogleis

confrontedwith?

A、Itsproduct-developmentsystemisnotveryformal.

B、FewGooglersaredevotedtomakeinnovations.

C、Everynewideawillmeetcriticisminsideandoutsidethecompany.

D、Fewideascanmakeprofitsforthecompanyintherecession.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：事实细节题。第七段第二句指出，谷歌在创新方面已经驾轻就熟，但

没有一个想法能够成熟到使公司实现盈利，倒数第二句又指出，搜索深受经济衰退

之害，故D项是谷歌目前面临的挑战。

34、ThispassagemainlytalksaboutGoogle's.

A、innovations

B、product-developmentsystem

C、anti-ageingtreatment

D、search-relatedadvertising

标准答案：A

知识点解析：主旨大意题。文章第一句就提到谷歌的创新和它提供搜索引擎结果一

样快，接着文章以介绍“谷歌波浪”为主，还提到了许多其他的创新产品，文章结尾

提到谷歌是时候去发现一些轰动性的点子了，首尾呼应，进一步强调创新并且盈利

应是谷歌的努力方向，由此判断A项正确。B项C项D项都是文中提到的信息片

断，都不足以概括全文大意，故排除。

35、Whichcategoryofwritingdocsthispassagebelongto?

A、Description.

B、Narration.

CsExposition.

D、Argumentation.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：文章体裁题。本文以谷歌公司的新产品“谷歌波浪”为例，介绍了谷歌

的公司文化，即创新文叱，全文以介绍和解释为主，故可以判断本文为说明文，C

项正确。
