标准答案：C

知识点解析：由第四段中的“Theresultstheyproducearequestionable,andsomeare

A、Thecourtisinchargeofremovingdangerousproduct.

B、Newproductsaremorelikelytobequestionable.

C^TheproductionofadevicemustbeapprovedbyFDA.

D、Thepromotersusuallyjustcareaboutprofits.

工具，由此可知推销者只关心利润，故选D。

商采取了法律措施，责令其停止销售，所以答案为B。A项错在这不是一个用来发

电的产品；C项中的successful明显错误；D项说这是一个优质美容产品的典范，

错误。

C、hindereconomicdevelopment

D、havelittleimpactoneconomicdevelopment

A、theyattendfreeliteracyclasseseveryday

B、theyhavenolandoftheirown

C、theybringuptheirfamiliesontheirown

D、theyliveinrefugeecamps

标准答案：A

知识点解析：问题是在什么情况下妇女可以得到一大包食物。第五段第三句“加

字课就可以领到食物，所以选A。

14、Thenewliteracyprogramsareanexampleof.

A、theworkof5000womenandteenagegirls

B、theproblemswiththeaidofinternationalorganizations

C、localandinternationalorganizationsworkingtogether

D、theEritreangovernmentworkingtokeepitspower

组织合作的结果。因此，选项C正确。

A、fightforfreedom

B、liveinanindependentway

C、fightagainstsocialinjustice

D.getridoffamilyresponsibilities

标准答案：B

知识点解析：根据文章第一段“…decidedtohelpthemleavethenest…”我们知道西班

牙政府的这项“青年解放计划”旨在帮助年轻人早日离开父母独立生活，而不是鼓励

他们逃避家庭的责任等，因此其他选项不正确。

17^Itcanbeinferredfromparagraph5thatfamilytiesarestrongerinPortugalthan

in.

A、Finland

B、Greece

CNSpain

D、Italy

标准答案：A

知识点解析：本段讲至『'FamilyticsinsouthEurope...arcstrongerthanthoseinmiddle

洲的南部，所以可以推断出葡萄牙家庭的纽带比芬兰要强一些。

EXCEPT2______.

Asparent'stolerance

B、housingproblems

C、culturaltraditions

D、unwillingnesstogetmarried

标准答案：D

文化因素、父母的宽容以及住房的原因，但是并没有提及他们不愿意结婚。

A、Sheis60yearsold.

B、Shehasaboyfriend.

C>Shehasthreechildren.

arenotoriouslylaxandeventhestrictestarenotstrictenough...Thesemeasuresmay

soundinordinatelyharsh.Butsurelynothingshouldbeconsideredassevereifitresultsin
