  • 第2题:

    Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?

    [A] Radical reforms are essential for the increase of productivity.

    [B] New ways of organizing workplaces may help to increase productivity.

    [C] The reduction of costs is not a sure way to gain long term profitability.

    [D] The consultants are a bunch of good-for-nothings.


    正确答案:A
    49. [A] 意为:激进的改革对生产率的提高极其重要。
       首先要看清楚题目,是说文章未提到的,大家一定不要犯这种低级错误,选了文章提到过的选项。,作者只指出促进生产率革命的措施并未奏效,未达到人们想象的效果,而并末提到应该如何才对。这属于过度引申的干扰项。
       B 意为:用新方法改变工作场所可以提高生产率。第三段第二句指出,重新改变工作场所仅是加快一个国家的国民经济综合生产率水平(overall productivity of an economy)的一种措施,促进生产率发展的因素还有许多,如:设备和机器投资、新技术、教育和培训投资等都会带来生产率的提高。
       C意为:降低成本并不能保证带来长期利润。根据第五段第三句,在比尔看来,许多公司机械地(in a mechanistic fashion)应用改革措施,降低了成本,但对长期盈利却考虑不够。可见,降低成本和长期盈利并非总是成正比。 
       D 意为:顾问们是一伙饭桶。不要以为这种骂人句肯定不会出现在原文中,那你就犯了主观主义错误了。文章最后一段指出,在罗森伯格看来,目前负责经济调整的顾问们所做的工作,多数都是垃圾(没有成效),是典型的“于事无补”。

    A

    Story readings and discussions.

    B

    Osmosis.

    C

    Taking every opportunity to teach character.

    D

    Roleplay.


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    细节理解题。此题问的是塑造孩子性格的过程中所采取的方式不包括哪一项。浏览全文可以看出,只有A项“故事阅读和讨论没有提到”文中没有提到。所以选择A项。文中第二段提到“Of course there will always be learning by osmosis”,与B项相符。文中第四段开头提到“Our role as educators is also to look for opportunities to help…”,与C项相符。文中第三段提到“Allowing children to role play a situation”,与D项相符。

  • 第4题:

    单选题
    Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
    A

    Natural disasters can account for disappearance of languages.

    B

    The acceleration of language death didn’t start until 200 years ago.

    C

    The study is conducted with the financial support of UNESCO.

    D

    The language of Ainu was long neglected before the late l980s.


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    事实细节的找寻和判断。录音中提到“However, the past 300 years or so have seen a dramatic increase in the death or disappearance of languages…”,由此可知,大约300年前,某些语言就出现了加速消亡的现象。因此选项B(直到200年前,语言才出现加速消亡的现象)与录音原文不符。
    【录音原文】
      Half of the 6,000 or so languages spoken in the world are under threat and a wealth of human knowledge could be lost with them, according to a new study. The study says pressures from dominant languages such as English, French, Spanish and Russian are drowning out minority tongues at an accelerating pace. “The dying and disappearance of languages has been going on for thousands of years as a natural event in human society, but at a slow rate,” says the study funded by UNESCO. “However, the past 300 years or so have seen a dramatic increase in the death or disappearance of languages leading to a situation today in which 3,000 or so languages that are still spoken are endangered, seriously endangered or dying.” The study cites several reasons for the disappearance of languages, ranging from repressive government policies and assimilation to economic pressures, migratory trends, disease and natural disasters. While sounding the alarm, it notes that a determined multilingual approach can rescue even the most threatened tongues. In Japan, only eight elderly people spoke Ainu on Hokkaido Island by the late l980s after decades of official neglect, but promotional policies have since revived the language.

    正确答案: C
    解析:
    录音中指出微软之所以能在电脑软件领域逐步建立主导地位“owes as much to its ability to outlast its competitors as to clever programming or anti-competitive behavior”,包含选项A和B的内容,接着录音中又提到“在电脑行业长久经验使得微软明白what traps and pitfalls to avoid”,故只有C项未提及。
    【录音原文】
    By referring back to his first Comdex speech in 1983, Mr. Gates reminded his audience just how long (by the standards of the industry) he and his firm have been around, and how willing he is to play a long game. Microsoft’s gradual establishment of its dominance in PC software, via its Windows and Office monopolies, owes as much to its ability to outlast its competitors as to clever programming or anti-competitive behavior. Microsoft’s deep experience of the computer industry means it knows what all the mistakes are, and what traps and pitfalls to avoid.

    D

    解析:
    推理题。文章第三段提到“Both privately and publicly supported cultural institutions have become increasingly involved...placed a strain on the financing of higher education that curtailed the growth or sometimes even threatened the survival of many cultural program”,即“政府或者私人赞助的文化机构开始卷入社会问题,尽管大学的文艺活动并不直接受政治争议和骚乱影响,但是因此而引起的政府和个人资助的减少削弱了甚至威胁到了大学文化艺术活动的生存”,D项正确。

  • 第10题:

    Why is the case of Ainu, the Japanese dialect, mentioned in the passage?
    A

    As an example of endangered language.

    B

    To show the diversity of languages in Japan.

    C

    To testify the effectiveness of multilingual approach.

    D

    To criticize neglect of minority tongues by Japanese government.


    正确答案: A
    解析:
    逻辑关系的找寻和判断。题干中的关键词为Ainu。录音中出现该词之前,提到“While sounding the alarm, it notes that a determined multilingual approach can rescue even the most threatened tongues”,可知通过坚定地执行多语政策,即时是受最大消亡威胁的语言也可获得拯救。接着录音中便给出日本方言Ainu的例子,指出20世纪80年代在北海道岛只有8名老人说Ainu,但该国对其实施的推广政策,使该语言得到复兴。由此可知C项的说法符合逻辑。

    Improving Our Diet


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    主旨题。录音首句便指出malnutrition(营养不良)的问题,接着对该问题出现的原因、造成的危害及解决方法等进行了详细的分析。由此可推断,该段录音主要讲述如何应对营养不良问题。因此选项B的内容与录音主要意思相符。
    【录音原文】
      In most corners of the world malnutrition is plainly a matter of outright insufficiency of food for population—where the majority of the people do not obtain enough food calories to meet minimal needs for support of physical work and for maintenance of health. Elsewhere the problem may be not one of insufficient calories but of lack of specific nutrients essential for health.
      In Latin America, as in other places, the dread protein deficiency disease kwashiorkor is taking its heavy toll on children’s lives. Strategic vitamins and minerals may be lacking due to traditional diets which are nutritionally imbalanced. Here people continue their eating pattern year after year without knowledge of what their dietary habits are doing to themselves and to future generation. With a basic knowledge of nutritional needs and deficiencies, efforts would be directed to finding food substitutes which could meet these needs. Mixtures of vegetable proteins, like soybeans and peanuts, could provide an abundance of cheap, useful protein where meats, eggs, and milk are not within economic reach of large groups in the population. Efforts could also be expanded on increasing the agricultural productivity in specific regions; where large areas are given over to relatively inefficient use as grazing land, the intensive production of vegetable protein crops could bring remedial nutrition to an undernourished population.
