    who function as judges

    C

    D

    who determine the price


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    词义理解题。第四段提到:“in practice it often leaves railroads in the position of determining which companies will flourish and which will fail”,说明现实中铁路部门经常处在决定哪些公司繁荣哪些公司失败的地位,而下文对这种情况提出了疑问,文中的原话是:“Do we really want railroads to be the arbiters of who wins and who loses in the marketplace”难道我们真想让铁路成为市场上决定成败的arbiters吗?所以arbiters与上文的determine呼应,表示“做决定者,仲裁者”的含义。

    record company


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    推断题。a major label出现在第四段首句。第三段提到KEXP无法播客诸如John in the Morning一类的节目,给出的原因是“record companies haven’t provided an easy, affordable way for podcasters to license songs”(唱片公司没有为做播客的人license songs提供一种简便且支付得起的方式)。该引用部分所在句意为“KEXP决定不能再无所事事地等着a major label来阻止它们播出”,由此可知a major label指的就是上文提到的record companies(唱片公司),因此选D。

    [A] record player

    [B] radio

    [C] musical technique

    [D] music culture


    正确答案:A

    本题考查词意理解。“phonograph”一词出现在第一段第五句,该句指出,“‘phonograph’被发明以前,我们听不到任何音乐表演的声音,只能通过乐器研究过去的音乐文化”。由此可知,该词指的是一种能够记录声音并被用于音乐文化研究的物质。[A]为正确答案。[B]虽然也有声音,但无法用于音乐研究。此外,也可以通过词根词缀法猜测词意。phono-相当于sound,表示“声音”;-graph表示“书写、描绘或记录的器具,机械”。“记录声音的机器”就是“录音机”。

    正确答案: C
    解析:
    推断题。题干所在句子提到Psychohistorians, convinced of the absolute rightness of their own theories,由absolute“绝对”一词可以看出作者想要表达的否定之意,因此对deepest加引号是表示作者对这一看法持保留态度。
