间在“固定开支（theirfixedexpenses）”方面没有分歧；他们用钱分歧的焦点是“余钱”

怎么开销。

10、Thewaythatsomeonespendshismoneycanreflect.

标准答案：howheisasaperson

知识点解析；先参看第4小题的解释。另外在本文的第八段中还提到：“theypay

建议夫妇们不要陷入H常开销的细节纠纷中，而要优先考虑“大件的开销（expenses

fbrbigthings）”。

A、neverlastlong

B、shouldbeconfinedtoscientificfields

C、maybecomepartofcommonspeech

D、areconsideredartificiallanguagespeech

标准答案：C

知识点解析:见文章最后一句话，Thusourcommonspeechisalwaystakingupnew

technicaltermsandmakingthemcommonplace.说明人们在日常谈话中总会使用一

些新的专有词汇使之成为日常用语。这一思想与答案C一致。

49>Itistruethat.

C、aneducatedpersonwouldbeexpectedtoknowmosttechnicalterms

D、variousprofessionsandoccupationsofteninterchangetheirdialectsandjargons

标准答案：B

知识点解析：本题与前面的21题有相通之处。根据文章内容，A(每个人都对科学

发现感兴趣)是没有根据的、太过绝对的断言；C(受过教育的人都应该了解大多数

的专有名词)显然也是无根据的，而“不同的专业或行业之间经常互换行话”(选项

D)在文中也找不到根据。只有答案B与文章的最后几句话相吻合。

5。、Inrecentyears,therehasbeenamarkedincreaseinthenumberoftechnicaltermsin

A、fishery

C、government

D、sports

标准答案：C

知识点解析：该段文章的段中有一句话：Andtheproportionhasbeenmuchincreased

inthelastfiftyyears,particularlyinthevariousdepartmentsofnaturalandpolitical

scienceandinthemechanicarts.说明自然科学、政治学及机械学领域的术语增加最

快，只有答案C符合这种说法。

51、Thewriterofthearticlewas,undoubtedly.

B、anattorney

52、Theauthor'smainpurposeinwritingthepassageisto.

A、describeaphenomenon

B、proposeasolution

C、beentertaining

D、argueabelief

标准答案：A

知识点解析：根据全文内容，作者在文中介绍了，各种不同行业的专用名词的特

点，以及这些术语的发展和使用情况，显然是陈述性质的，是向读者描述某种现

象，而不是为了提供解决问题的方案(B),因为根本没有提出任何问题；更不是为

了娱乐(C)和争辩(D)。因此正确答案是Ao
