14、

A、Theauthorassertsthattheaccountholdershouldbecarefulaboutthefreetoaster.

B、Theauthorthinksthattheaccountholderistheverypersonwhousesthetoaster.

C>Theauthorsuggeststhattheaccountholdershouldbecarefulaboutthebank.

D、Theauthorholdsthatthebankshouldbecriticized.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：语义理解题。文章首段指出“忘了过去银行赠送免费烤箱来吸引客户

的日子吧。在严酷的顾客储蓄的新世界中，可能被烫伤的却是储户自己”。这旦，

作者通过比喻，提醒储户不要为那些银行五花八门的优惠条件所打动。拿着银行赠

送的免费烤箱，储户可能庆幸没有花钱，却不知这烤箱会烫伤自己，这里是指储户

实际上是吃亏了。因此"作者暗示储户要提防银行”是正确选项。

22、Thebanks'strategiesinventedtoriptheaccountholdersinclude

A、changingtheoldfees.

offeringfreechecking.

C、offeringfreegifts.

D、creatingnewfees.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：事实细节题。文章第二段首句指出“在过去几年中，银行有计划地提

高原有的费率，并增加了一些新的收费项目，数目达到100种之多”。由此可以得

出银行通过增加收费项目来剥削消费者，因此”增加新的收费项目”为本题正确答

案。

23、Accordingtobankingexecutives,thehigherbankfeesmayresultfrom

A、theslowdownofeconomy.

B、low-interestbankaccounts.

C、thedecreaseofthenumberofbankinvestors.

D^theincreaseofthenumberofcreditcardholders.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：推理判断题。文章第七段前四句指出“银行主管指出征收高费用是有

原因的。自二十世纪初金融服务解除管制以来，竞争对手就将那些曾经支撑银行利

润的高利润企业吸引走了。美国人避开低利息的银行储蓄，转而青睐诸如共同基金

这样的高回报投资。信用卡持有人从信用卡发行者那里得到的条款比银行所提供的

更加优惠，由此可以推出，费率提高的原因是因为客户数量的减少，故”银行投资

者数量的减少”是银行征收高额费用的根本原因。

24、Theterm"high-marginbusiness"(Paragraph7)probablymeans

A、veryprofitablebusiness.

B>verypromisingbusiness.

C、bankruptbusiness.

D、well-managedbusiness.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：语义理解题。根据第七段前三句：自从二十世纪八十年代初期金融服

务解除管制以来，竞争者将一度支撑银行利润的儿high-margin企业吸引过去。美

国人避开低利率的银行账户，而选择高回报的投资，如共同基金。从句中的“支撑

银行利润"可以推出，这些应该是效益好的企业，由此可推测high-marginbusiness

指”高利润的企业”。

25、Fromthelastparagraph,wcknowthat

A、thebanksarenotoriousbusinesses.

neverdobusinesswiththebanks.

C、thebankshavesucceededingettingbacktheprofits.

D、duetohighcustomerfees,thenumberoftheaccountholdersisdecreasing.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：事实细节题。本文末段指出“银行已经设法赢回利润，部分是由于对

客户实行高收费。事实上银行业宣称该行业在近三年的收益达到了历史最高”。由

此可知”银行成功地恢复了赢利”是本题正确选项C

26、Thebasisofremotediagnosiswillbe.

standardizedsymptomsofapatient

B、personaldataassistance

C、transmittedcomplexmedicalimages

D^realphysiologicaldatafromapatient

标准答案：D

知识点解析：根据第二段第一、二句，在线医生目前主要依据标准化的症状向病人

提出建议，但是，我们将越来越多地依据实际病人的真实的生理数据做出远距离诊

断。

27、Thesentence"thecryaskingwhethertherewasadoctorinthehousecouldwellbea

A、nowpeopleprobablywouldnotaskifthereisadoctorinthehouse

B、patientsusedtocryandaskiftherewasadoctorinthehouse

C^inthepastpeopleoftencriedandaskediftherewasadoctorinthehouse

D、patientsarenowstillaskingifthereisadoctorinthehouse

标准答案：A

知识点解析：第二段后两句提到，肯塔基大学的一组医生说明，利用像掌上控制器

加一部移动电话这样的现成的个人数据辅助系统，从电话上传送病人的一些关键症

状是完全可能的。急救包里如果有这样一个系统，到医生家里急呼医生的做法很可

能就成为历史了。言外之意，在发生急诊时，不需要再去亲自到医生家里去请他，

他在自己家里通过个人数据辅助系统就可能对病人做出诊断。在本句中，could

wellbe表示“很可能”，恰与选择项A中probably对应。而其他选择项不表示可能

性。

28、AllthefollowingstatementsarctrueEXCEPTthat.

A、itisnowfeasibletotransmitapatient'svitalsignsovertelephone

C、thetrendinapplyingtelemedicineistowardprovidingglobalaccesstomedicaldata

D、telemedicineisbeingusedbymanymedicalteamsasatoolfordisasterresponse

标准答案：D

知识点解析：第三段提到，其他医疗技术小组正在尝试将远距离医疗的方法应用于

乡间的医疗服务，而且，至少有一个小组想使用远距离医疗作为对付灾难——如地

震的工具。可见，选择项D的主要问题在many上。有关A参阅第二段第三、四

句。有关B参阅第四段第三句。有关C参阅第三段第三句。该句的意思是：总的

来说，（这种做法的）发展趋势是向全球范围内提供医疗数据和医术服务。

29>Theword"problem"inthefourthparagraphreferstothefactthat.

B、CTscansareoneofthebiggestbandwidthconsumers

C、bandwidthisnotadequatetotransmitcomplexmedicalimagesaroundtheworld

D、communicationssatellitescanonlycopewiththeshort-termneedsduringdisasters

标准答案：C

知识点解析：第四段第一句提到的问题实际上指本段笫二句表达的内容。该句可以

理解为：宽带是制约着在全球范围内传送复杂的医用图像的一个因素——CT扫描

图像是需要宽带传输的数据之一。言外之意是：由于全球范围内计算机网络尚未普

知识点解析：本文在前两段中讲述了未来医疗的前景。由于计算机科学的发展，医

提供服务的最突出的例子。

比较起来，显然应该选答案项。而且文章中还提到截至2000年，60%的工作需要

熟练的计算机技能，在未来的7年中，与计算机相关的工作将会有一个令人惊奇的

70%的增长。选项”一些学生将享受不了优惠费率”肯定是离题了。

39、Whichofthefollowingisthebesttitleforthepassage?

A^TheDigitalDivide

B、TheNecessityofEliminatingtheDigitalDivide

C、HowtoClosetheGapsinTechnology

D、DiscountedServices

标准答案：B

知识点解析：主旨题。题意为”下列哪句话最适合做文章的标题?”文章第一段讲到

数字漓沟会导致的问题；第二段讲消除它的一个法案和措施；最后还专门引用了克

林顿总统的讲话来强调消除数字鸿沟的必要性。所以选项”消除数字鸿沟的必要性”

为正确答案。文章中没有过多地讲数字鸿沟和消除它的细节，所以选项”数字鸿沟

",选项”如何消除技术鸿沟”和选项“优惠服务”都不合适。

40Accordingtothepassage,whichofthestatementsisNOTtrue?

A、Moreandmorejobsrequirehigh-techcomputerskills.

B、Thetelecommunicationindustryobjectstoprovidingdiscountedservicestoschools

andlibraries.

C^AmericawillmissthebrightfutureoftheInformationAge.

D、ManypeopleagreethatInternetisaveryimportantlearningtool.

标准答案：C

知识点》析：推断题。题意为”根据文中所述，下面哪句的观点是不正确的?”用排

除法。根据第一段的内容，选项”越来越多的工作需要熟练的计算机技能”和选项”

很多人同意互联网是非常重要的学习工具”显然是正确的。文章第2段的最后一句

讲到，国会和电信部门的批评让联邦通讯委员会将1998年的可获得的金额降低到

13亿。可知选项”电信部门反对给学校和图书馆提供优惠费率”正确。显然只有选

项”在信息时代美国将不会有光明的前途”不正确，是本题答案。
