B、C都不对；力ess”修饰不可数名词，“fewer”修饰可数名词，句子中的

“prejudices”是可数名词，所以用“fewer”来修饰。因此本题应该选D。

知识点解析：A项“but”表示“然而，但是”,表示转折关系;B表示“otherwise”表示

“另外.否则“，表示转折关系；C项“or”表示“或，或者”，表示选择关系；D项

“likewise”表示“同样地，又”，表示并列关系。本句讲的是年轻人离开家后的三种

A^scarce

B、rare

18、[C18]

A^in

B、at

C、on

D、for

标准答案：C

(Line1.ParagraphI)?

A、Sheisnotsurewhetherherwateristoodirtytodrink.

B、Sheisnotsurewhethersomethingiswrongin(hewatersystem.

C、Sheisnotsurewhybeingsingleissopervasiveinhertown.

D^Sheisiiulsinewhysinglepeoplemovelohertown.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：句意题。作者在第一段说明她所居住的小城里到处都是单身的人，而

且是以前少，现在多。她因此怀疑是不是水里面有什么药，使单身传染得那么快。

所以选，她不确定为什么单身在她们镇上那么流行。

22>TheexamplesofhercousinMichelleandthebuilding'smanagerareusedtoshow

A^manypeoplechoosedivorcetosolvetheiremotionalproblems.

B、womenarenotsatisfiedwiththeirmarriage:

C、manypeopleareno(confidentinseriousrelationships.

D、morepeoplearcbecominglovelesssingles.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：例证题。第一段前半部分说以前作者认识的单身很少，用“But”这个

强转折，正是要说明现在越来越多了，举例是要为证明这个现象。

23、Whatdoestheauthorthinkofthosesinglepeople?

A、Theyareusingexcusestocheatthemselves.

B、Theyshouldbesorryforbeingsingle.

C、Theydon'llikeweddings,becausetheyareexpensive.

D^Theyrejectstayinginacomfortablehomewithabeautifulbride.

标准答案：A

知识点解析；细节题。第二段第五句说明作者知道很多单身贵族都装出很独立的样

子，或者用自己还在等待意中人作为借口搪塞，这样做其实都是在自欺欺人。

24>Whydoestheauthorwanttoshareher"romanticwisdom"withthesingletons?

A、ShewantstogiveittothesingletonsasaValentineGift.

B、Shethinksitisherresponsibilitytohelp（hem.

C、Shefeelsthatshehasbeenveryselfishbefore.

D、Shewantstoreviveherfeelingsofdatingalonglimeago.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：细节题。第三段首句说明作者认为在情人节之际，像她一样有成功婚

姻经历的人都有责任和那些不那么幸运的人分享那份“爱情智慧”：

25、Fromthetextwecantellthattheauthorisaveryperson.

A^hospitableandkind

B、cleverandfaithful

C、sensitiveandcaring

unselfishandtactful

标准答案：C

知识点解析：推理题。文章第二段结尾提到作者能体察到别人的感觉，因此很敏

感；第三段提到她认为帮助别人找到幸福是自己的义务，证明她关心他人。而

hospitable（好客）、clever（聪明）和tactful（有策略）都不能在原文中找到证据。

B、ittakesonlythetimebetweenshowersforsomeonetobecomeboss

C^Seattle'sdevelopmentissuddenlikerainshowers

D^Seattlehasasmanybusinessmillionairesasitsrainshowers

标准答案：A

知识点解析：这是一道词义题。题干中的信号词出自于文章第一段第四句话中。文

章第一段指出：当美国经济高速发展时，很少有地方像西雅图那样充满欢乐；它的

港口挤满了运送来自亚洲货物的船只；波音公司几乎难以生产出足够的飞机来满足

需求，微软聘用了大量的软件工程师；每场阵雨过后，又一个互联网百万富翁出现

了.这说明，该句话的意思应该是：在经济高速发展时，人们很容易迅速致富.A

说“由于新经济，许多人迅速、轻易地致富”，这与文章的意思符合。B,C和D明

显与文章的意思不符。

27>WhatcanbeinferredinihepassageconcerningBoeing?

A^ItsheadquarterhasbeenmovedfromChicagotoSeattle.

It'stobeblamedfbrtheeconomicdepressioninWashington.

C>Boeingitselfishavingahardtime.

D、It'sexpectedtohavearevivalintheyear2003.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：这是一道推论题。文章第二段指出：过去的12个月给人留下了一连

串的失望，波音公司的总部迁到了芝加哥。第四段指出：3年前，波音公司预期到

2002年中期辞退2万多名员工。最后一段指出：导致这种担心的一个原因是波音

公司的持续低迷：波音公司在西雅图的就业率从20年前的9%降到现在的不足

5%。由此可知，波音公司不景气。C说“波音公司自己正处于艰难时期”，这与文

章的意思符合。A与文章的意思相反；文中没有提到B：D与文章最后一句话的意

思不符合。

28、Whatdoesthepassageimplyabout"H"and"D"?

A、Theyareneitherpromisingcompanies.

B、Theyarcaffiliatedtolargecompanies.

C、Theyaredealinginmedicalproducts.

D^Theyarealsoaffectedbytheeconomiccrisis.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：这是一道推论题。题干中的信号词为Homegrocer,com和

Drugstore,com,出自文章第二段第四句话。文章第二段指出：现在一切都令人失

望；互联网经济就像一个被钉了•扎的气球一样破裂了，导致一度辉煌的本地投机企

业岌岌可危，比如Homehrocer.com公司，留下一些不可能失败的公司在苦苦支

撑。由此可知，这两个公司受到经济衰退的影响。D说“它们也受到经济危机的影

响“，这与文章的意思符合。A明显与文章的意思不符合；文中没有提到B和C。

29、WhatisspecialaboutthiseconomicdownturninSeattle?

A、Allsectorshaveenteredrecessionatthesametime.

B、Thelay-offworkershavefoundjobselsewhere.

C、TheOldEconomyishitharderthanothereconomies.

D、ThelowemploymentratewilllastlongerthaninOregon.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：这是一道细节题。文章第四段指出：导致巨前的经济下滑如此让人痛

苦的因素是，经济的各个部分好像同时陷入了一个低谷。这说明，A”所有部门同

时进入衰退时期”与文章的意思符合。B,C和D都与文章的意思不符合。

30、Wecanlearnfromthelastparagraphthat.

A、Microsofthasastrongmjltipliereffectontheeconomy

B、Boeingiscrucialforthesurvivalofothercompanies

C、Seattlearea'semploymentratehasfallenconsiderably

D^theeconomicfoundationofSeattleisBoeing'scontinuingprosperity

标准答案:B

知识点解析:这是一道归纳题。题干中的信号词为thelastparagraph,也就是文章

的最后一段。文章最后一段指出：如今，波音公司在西挂图的就业率从20年前的

9%降到现在的不足5%：但是，波音公司仍然是其他产业依赖的基础，它的供应

商和分销商网络使得它比其他产业更具乘数效应。这说明，其他产业非常依赖波音

公司。B说“波音对其他公司的生存至关重要”，这与文章的意思符合。A与最后一

段的章思相反：文中是说波音公司在西雅图的就业率大幅度降低，并不是说西雅图

的就.业率大幅度降低，所以C不对：文中没有提到D。

标准答案：A

知识点解析：观点态度题。由题干中的提示定位到文章第一段。该段中出现了两种

不同态度：deservespraise...Regrettably,however....。考生需要在“赞扬”与"批评”

这两种态度中选取一种。由于however的转折，作者的态度由褒奖转为批评，认为

该报告可能会带来弊大于利的结果，由此确定，作者对该报告所持的态度是批评。

［A］为答案。
