    [A]GDP growth.

    [B]The number of layoffs.

    [C]Price indexes.

    [D]Output of consumer goods.


    正确答案:A

     本题实际考查了多处事实细节。第二段提到,GDP虽然有所增长,但其增长大多因为存货提用的速度减缓,而不是需求的增长。而且该段首句也提到:这次经济复苏不具有通常经济好转所具有的活力。因此作者对GDP的增长是持保守态度的。

    B]项在第三段提到,即申请失业保险金人数的下降表明失业的速度有所缓和。[C]项在第四段第二句中出现,即1月的价格指数表明通货膨胀仍然很缓和(remained tame)。[D]项在第六段至第九段都有所涉及。因此作者对这三个方面抱有的是很明确的乐观态度。

    D.aim high and reach his goal each time


    正确答案:C
    C项的意思是“面对困难,迎接挑战”,见第二段,作者认为一个人的成长是过程,而不是结果,成长过程是很难确定的。A,B,D项都是结果,只有C项是过程。

    C.Presenting the form, meaning, and use of a word.
    D.Asking students to memorize bilingual word lists.

    答案:D
    解析:
    本题考查语言知识教学。题干的意思:如果教师专注于培养学生恰当地使用单词的能力,那么他/她应该避免以下哪种方式A项“教单词的口语和书面形式”,B项“在语境中教单词并举例子”,C项“呈现单词的形式、意义及用法”,D项“要求学生记忆双语单词表”。在词汇教学中,教师不仅要讲授单词的形式,还要创设具体的语境,让学生在运用中加深对词汇意义的理解,掌握词汇的用法和功能,进而恰当得体地运用词汇表情达意。记忆双语单词表属于单纯的记忆活动,不能起到促进学生恰当使用词汇的作用。故本题选D。

    材料题
    B
    In the fall of 1924 Thomas Wolfe,fresh from his courses in play writing at Harvard joined the eight or ten of us who were teaching English composition in New York University.I had never before seen a man so tall as he,and so ugly.I pitied him and went out of my way to help him with his work and make him feel at home.
    His students soon let me know that he had no need of my protectiveness.They spoke of his ability to explain a poem in such a manner as to have them shouting with laughter or struggling to keep back their tears,of his readiness to quote in detail from any poet they could name.
    Indeed,his students made so much of his power of observation that I decided to make a little test and see for myself.My chance came one morning when the students were slowly gathering for nine o‘clock classes.
    Upon arriving at the university that day,I found Wolfe alone in the large room which served all the English composition teachers as an office.He did not say anything when I asked him to come with me out into the hall,and he only smiled when we reached a classroom door and I told him to enter alone and look around.
    He stepped in,remained no more than thirty seconds and then came out.“Tell me what you see.”I said as I took his place in the room,leaving him in the hall with his back to the door.Without the least hesitation and without a single error,he gave the number of seats in the room,pointed out those which were taken by boys and those occupied by girls,named the colors each student was wearing,pointed out the Latin verb written on the blackboard,spoke of the chalk marks which the cleaner had failed to wash from the floor,and pictured in detail the view of Washington Square from the window.
    As I rejoined Wolfe,I was speechless with surprise.He,on the contrary,was wholly calm as he said,“The worst thing about it is that I‘ll remember it all.”

    Which of the following is NOT said in the passage

    A.Wolfe‘s students praised Wolfe’s power of observatio
    B.The author made an experiment on Wolfe‘s abilit
    C.Wolfe‘s students asked the author to have a test of their abilit
    D.Wolfe did not feel angry when he was teste

  • 第20题:

    Which parts of the book did the reviewer enjoy reading most?
    A

    The author’s experience in family business operation.

    B

    The lists of helpful information offered by the author.

    C

    The advice on skills in selling made by some business owners.


    正确答案: A
    解析:
    由第二段的“But what absorbed me most was the story of running a family business.”可以判断出书中关于经营家族企业的故事是最吸引书评人的地方,选项A的意思与此相符。虽然B项内容在文中提及了,但后面的转折词“But”表明书评人最喜欢的部分是“story of running a family business”。文中未提及C项内容。因此正确选项为A。

    E

    The author of The New Girl, Mike Reynolds, spoke at our school about his book, that portrays a woman for six weeks.


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    A项不正确因为同位语“The New Girl”应该用逗号括起来,“him”应改为“his”。B项没有错误。C项中“where”的使用不正确。D项中的同位语不正确,且用一个逗号连接两个独立的主句,因此不正确。D项也改变了句子的意思。E项也不正确,因为“that”的使用不恰当,因为“that”不能用来修饰人。
