案的最高立法机关即第八段中提到的全国人大，因此答案应为Ao

49、Whatbenefitswilldonorsgelfromthenewpolicyoncharity?

A、Compensation.

B、Officialcommendation.

C、Taxdeductions.

D^Lessprocedures.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：题目问的是新出台的慈善政策将给捐献者带来何种好处，而根据第一

段内容，可以很清楚地知道答案应为“课税减免”，即C。

5。、ThecontroversyoverthefirstdraftoftheLawofCharitycenterson.

A、legislativetransparency

B、thegovernment'sdominantroleincharityactivities

C、thesupervisionofcharityorganizations

D、theMinistryofCivilAffairs'responsibility

标准答案：B

知识点解析：文中倒数第五段已提到“有争议的草案“，而从倒数第四段及倒数第三

段，我们可以看出，争议主要围绕着政府该不该在慈善活动中占据主导地位这一问

题。答案明显应该为B。

51、Whichofthefollowingcanbeinferredfromthepassage?

A、Donorswhowanttoclaimdeductions'intaxesdon'thavetogothroughcomplex

B、Non-profitwelfareorganizations

C、Corporations

D、Charityorganizations

标准答案：A

知识点解析：从文章第九段中可以看出，正是公众的呼吁促使国家考虑出台慈善法

事宜。其他选项都不符合原文意思。

53、ThemainideaofParagraph3is.

A、thatIndia'ssocietyischanging

B、womenwork

C、arrangedmarriagesareanageoldcustom

D、workingwifearrives

标准答案：A

知识/解析：本文主要讲述的是印度传统婚姻习俗的变革。第三段的大意为印度的

社会正在改变。本段的主题句在第二句：每个星期刊出的成千上万的广告不断反应

了这个传统社会经历的社会变革。根据此主题句，就不难找出本题的最佳选项应为

A项。

54Althoughhedocsnotdirectlysayit,theCalcuttabusinessmanwouldprobablyagree

that.

A、itisagoodideatoplacemarriageadvertisementsinthenewspaper

B、itisabadidea(oplacemarriageadvertisementsinthenewspaper

C、itisembarrassingifanyoneanswerssuchadvertisements

D^itisembarrassingifnooneanswerssuchadvertisements

标准答案：A

知识点解析：凯尔卡特市ftt商人虽然未直接发表观点，但是他说“There飞nothing

embarrassingaboutit.”（这样做没什么尴尬的）而且他是在登广告找女婿时说这句话

的，因此句中的it指的是advertisingforason-in-law。同时他认为登广告是拓宽接

触面的又一种方法，同时增加了为其女儿选择最合适人选的可能性。这句话中的il

指的还是advertisingforason-in-lawo这样，我们不难得出A项是本题的最佳答

案。

55、Inthesentence"Apersonwhohasonecangetwhathev/ants",theword"one"

refersto.

A、feature

B、marriageadvertisement

C、permittoliveabroad

D^CanadaortheUnitedStates

标准答案：C

知识点解析：在Apersonwhohasonecangetwhathewants中one指的是定居海外

的批文。这句话出现在文章的第九段。one在这里很明显不可能是指人，而指前文

所提之事：由于高失业率和贫穷的生活标准，征婚广告的最大魅力之二就在于获得

移居国外的批文，特别是到加拿大和美国。因此，one指的是apermillolive

abroad«因此，C项正确。

56、Paragraph10givesexamplesof.

A、advertisementsfromtwowomenlookingforhusbands

B、typicalmarriageadvertisementsfromtheMadrasnewspapers

C、thequalitiesthatapersonwithanimmigrationpermitcanaskforandexpecttoget

D、thechangeoftraditionalmarriagecustom

标准答案：C

知识2解析：第10段给出了一个拥有移民批文的人能够要求并希望得到的地位。

文章第十段所举事例是为了说明前文所说的：一个人若拥有移居国外的批文就能得
