参考答案和解析
第三段第二句指出“One reason why Asia’s civilizations, in 1000 far ahead of Europe’s, then fell behind was that they lacked the technology to reproduce and diffuse ideas”，由此可知曾经领先于欧洲的亚洲文明落后的原因是他们缺乏传播思想的技术，因此选项C符合文意。reproduce复制；再生。diffuse扩散；传播。

推断题由题干定位到文章第五段。该段第二句提到，富裕被理解为人们大量生产产品和提供服务的能力——不仅仅是农业，还包括如金属冶炼、陶艺和商业能力，由此可见，A、B两项的表述过于片面，可排除。该段倒数第二句提到，产品的盈余为地区提供财富，吸引人们来到这里，选项D是对此句的曲解，故排除。该段第三句提到，人口上的富裕意味着他们有盈余来为所控制的城市和地区供养统治管理阶层，或许一支军队。由此可知，选项C符合文意，故答案为C项。 -

单选题According to the passage, which of the following statements about the Tuskegee Airmen is TRUE?AIn World WarⅡ, they never lost a bomber to enemy fire.
BThey were the first group of black soldiers ever trained by the ground troops.
CThey were not subjected to racial discrimination in the army.
DThey were already soldiers in the ground troops before their training at Tuskegee began.
正确答案： D解析：
细节理解题。根据文章的第三段第二句“They did not lose any of the bombers they were escorting”可知，在战争中，他们从来没有失去他们护航的任何一架轰炸机。而A项说的是他们没有遗失一架轰炸机给敌人火力。与A项说法一致，所以A是正确选项。根据文中第二段“The first African-American airmen reported for duty in l941.”可知，他们是第一批报到的空军，而B项的描述是他们是第一批受陆军训练的黑人士兵，原文并没有提到这一点，所以B项错误。根据文中第一段“separated you from other soldiers because of the color of your skin”以及后面的第三，四段可知，他们即使在军队里也被歧视，也受到了种族歧视的影响，C项描述完全相反。由文中第二段第二句“Before that, African Americans could only serve in the Armed Forces as part of the ground troops.”可知，第一批被训练的空军之前是作为地面部队的一部分为武装部队服役，服役指的是参加部队的劳动或是参军，所以不代表他们都是地面部队的士兵。故D项错误。 -

BIt was the work of American activists who were independent of feminists abroad.
CIt was the culminating achievement of the Utopian socialist movement.
DIt was a manifestation of an international movement for social change and feminism
正确答案： D解析：
由文章第一段倒数第二句可知，在欧洲意识形态，包括乌托邦社会主义思想的影响之下，美国女权主义开始普及，而1848年召开的Seneca Falls Conference则使这一运动达到了顶峰。因此这次会议便成为女权运动发展的一个典型体现。D选项正是此意。 -

CDickens made a lot of money on his reading tours.
DDickens left school to write The Pickwick Papers.
正确答案： D解析：
由原文第三段中的“He went on very successful reading tours and earned a lot of money.”可知，C项正确。文章第三段提到那个时候因为没有收音机或电视，人们喜欢听作者在公共场合读书，所以他四处读书并挣了很多钱，并没有说他喜欢旅行，故A项错误；第一段中提到他的很多书都是关于穷人和他们的苦难的，而不是关于他自己的童年，故B项错误；原文第二段提到，又回到学校上了两年学，狄更斯15岁离开了学校，后来写了The Pickwick Papers，并没有说他是为了要写这本书而离开学校，故D项错误。 -

DA social order in which a body of men and women would rule together on the basis of their spiritual power.
正确答案： B解析：
由文章第三段最后一句话可知，虽然Saint-Simonians不反对男女之间的差别，但是他们主张男女平等的社会地位和社会角色。B选项正是此意。A，C，D选项的内容在文中均未提及。
