十、阅读（常规阅读理解）（本题共10题，每题1.0

分，共10分。）

Thefirstpre-electionpoll,or"strawvole",asitwas（hencalled,wasconductedbythe

HarrisburgPennsylvanianbefore（he1824presidentialelection.Thisstrawvoteandthe

manythatfolloweditreallyregisterednothingbutlocalopinion.However,as

communications*improvedandelectionswerewonbycloserandclosermargins,

58、From（hepassageweknowthattheearliestpre-electionpollswerein

reflectingthepublicopinions.

A、meaningful

B、inaccurate

C、satisfying

D^successful

标准答案：B

知识点解析：文章第一段告诉我们，最初的选举前的民意测验反映的仅仅是地方性

的、局部的意见，由此可见它们在反映民意方面是不够准确的。

59、Allofthefollowingarethecharacteristicsoftheinquiriesmentionedinthesecond

paragraphexcept.

Asalargenumberofquestionnairesweresentout

B、quantityratherthanqualitywasemphasized

C、almostnoeffortwasmadetointerviewpeoplefromeverywalkoflife

D^everypublicationinAmericagotinvolved

标准答案：D

知识点解析：从文章第二段可知，这些调杳共同的缺点是重量不重质，错误地认为

发出去的问卷越多，结果就越准确，而且调查的对象缺乏广泛性。由此可见，A、

B、C三项都是这些民意调查的特点，而D项既不符合事实，也谈不上是什么特

点。

60>Wecaninferfromthepassagethatinthebeginningthenewspapereditors

wereGallup'ssystem.

A、doubtfulof

B、enthusiasticabout

C、displeasedwith

D、indignantat

标准答案：A

知识点解析：由文章第四段可知，盖洛普花了很长时间才说服35位报纸编辑采用

他的调查方法。由此可断定，对他的方法编辑们起初是持怀疑态度的。B项不符合

事实，c项和D项在文中找不到依据。

61>Wecaninferfromthepassagethatintheearly1930s

A、Gallupwasafamousjournalist

B、theLiteraryDigestlikedtobreakrecords

C、theLiteraryDigestwasthebiggestmonthlyinAmerica

D、themethodoftheLiteraryDigestwaspopularandwcll-receivcd

标准答案：D、

知识点解析：盖洛普当时只是个年轻的记者，费了很大劲才说服别人采用他的调查

方法，所以A项是不正确的。文叫，虽然两次提到《文摘》月刊保持和打破记

录，但不能由此推断它喜欢破记录，所以B项也不是正确答案。C项在文中找不到

依据，所以也不对。只有D项是正确的推论，因为文章第二段的最后一句话告诉

我们，《文摘》对1932年选举的预测误差仅为百分之一，而且第四段又说编辑们

给盖洛普提的条件是如果他的预测不如《文摘》准确，他就得掏钱负担整个调查的

费用，可见《文摘》采用的方法是为大多数人所接受的。

62Gallup'ssystemprovedtobe

A、muchcheaper

agreatfailure

C、ahugesuccess

D、muchcostly

标准答案：C

知识点解析：看懂文章的最后一句话即可确定正确答案是CowhereasGallup'swas

offbylessthan1percent意为“而盖洛普的预测误差不到百分之一
