度，以及对句中并列平行结构的识别和理解。本题的答案信息来源在第三段的尾

句，该句由“beyond”一词引导，其大意是:“除此之外，Google引起人们兴趣的原因

与遮遮掩掩的独裁和好莱坞名人引起人们兴趣的原因是相同的一原因在于不透明、

花哨以及其自身”。由此可以推断本题的正确选项是“disiiHciivscw”（独特性），因为

只有“distinctiveness”这个词才能准确表达原文"ilsef一词所传达的含义。考生在阅

读时应注意常考的重点词语（例如本句中的“beyond”一词），并且注意对并列平行结

构的理解。

在于Battelle先生对互联网与其未来发展之间更广泛联系的解释，由此可见，

Battelle先生的作品需要改进和完善的方面就在于此。故本题的正确选项应该是”[he

relationshipbetweeninternetresearchanditspotentialfuturedevelopment”（互联网研究

与其未来发展之间的关系）。考生在阅读时应注意每个词所传达的深层含义。

Battelle先生所著的书的肯定；尾段首句中的"Thebookdisappoints...”（本书令人失望

B、biased

C、puzzling

D^enthusiastic

标准答案：D

知识点解析：这是一道细节题，测试考生对原文细节尤其是代词的理解和把握能

力。本题的答案信息来源在首段的最后两句话，其大意是:“Byron女士将暑期花在

了为Dnipal项目的编程上…"。她说”这次经历太棒了"。由首段尾句Byron女士本

人的陈述可推断:Byron女士本人对其暑期工作深感激动和兴奋。故本题的正确选

项应该是“enthusiastic”（热情的，热心的）。考生在阅读时应注意代词的使用，更要

注意句子上下文之间的联系。

27、ItcanbeinferredfromthesecondparagraphthattheparticipantsofGoogle's

C、beenblamed

D^beenenlightened

标准答案：A

知识点解析：本题是一道细节推导题，测试考生深入理解原文并进行推导的能力。

本题的答案信息来源在第二段的首句，该句的大意是:“Byron女士是419名学生中

的一个（来自于8,744名申请者），他们被接纳到Google的，编码之夏，项目”。由此句

进行深入推理可得出:GoogW编码之夏”的参与者是经过挑选的。故本题的正确选

项是“beenselected”（被挑选）。考生在阅读时应注意深入理解原义的含义，不能只停

留在文字的表面之意。

28、Theworkoftheparticipatingopen-sourceprojectsconductedbystudents,according

tothetext,is.

A、incoherent

B、rewarded

C、incessant

D^gratuitous

标准答案：B

知识点解析：这是一道细节题，测试考生对原文重点细节的理解与分析能力。本题

的答案信息在第二段的倒数第二句，该句后半句的大意是:“每个学生总共收到

4,500美金（马上收到500美金，在其工作完成之日可获得4,000美金）、可见，学

生的工作不是“无偿的“，而是”有偿的，故本题的正确选项是“rewarded”（有回报

的）。考生在阅读时应对原叉中的细节进行条理清晰的分析和深入归纳。

一切有关‘编码之夏'目的内容都是ChrisDiBona的想法。ChrisDiBona在去年与

LarryPage和SergeyBrin一起商讨（brainslorming）大计"。±1此可以推断:Chris

DiBona的想法不单纯是其个人想法，里面含有集体的智慧（即别人的思想贡献）。故

本题的正确选项是“others"isdom”（其他人的智慧）。考生在阅读时不要忽略对于重

点词语的控制和分析。

30^ElliotCohenismentionedin（hetextsoasto.

B、indicatetheacademiclevelofBerkeley,USA

C、clarifyElliotCohen'ssummerexperienceinwritingnetworktoolbox

D、layemphasisonthefactthatuniversitystudentsarcbigfansofGoogle

标准答案：A

知识点解析：本题属于一道中心主旨题型，测试考生对全文中心主旨，尤其是段落

之间关系的把握和理解。本题的答案信息来源在尾段和倒数第二段的尾句。作者在

倒数第二段借DiBona先生之口提出一个论点，然后在尾段利用ElliolCohen这位

学生的例子进行支持。倒数第二段的尾句说:“Google的'编码之夏，项目成为招募员

工的一次机会”。尾段有关ElliotCohen的叙述就是用来支持倒数第二段尾句这一论

点的。故本题的正确选项应该是"illustratetheindirecteffectofsummerofcode'on

Google飞recruitment"（举例说明"编码之夏”项目对Google招募所产生的间接影

响）。考生在阅读时要把握上下文之间的语意关系。

合国最终文件中的一些内容是持肯定态度的。第五段第二句的后半句的大意是:"…

文件中的•些建议被弱化以至于这些建议陷入空洞陈腐”，综上所述，本文作者对

联合国最终文件的态度是客观公正的。故本题的正确选项是“impartial”(公正的；无

偏见的>
