    B

    show how he fought for the U.S.

    C

    give an episode of the information war

    D

    honor his unique services to the CIA


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    细节题。首先介绍了Donovan的个人经历,在段末提到现在互联网已经彻底改变了读书和寄信这些日常消遣,也重新塑造了多诺万的职业,从而文章从多诺万自然过渡到了互联网对间谍活动的影响,而后全文围绕这一话题展开。因此对多万诺的介绍是为了引出主题,故选A。文章并不着重介绍Donovan的个人功绩,所以B、D项错误。C项文中没有提及。

  • 第9题:

    问答题

    describe the Satows’ confusion over their son’s death

    D

    introduce the topic of a website called Ulifeline

    解析:
    推理判断题。文章第一段提到,“五年前,Satow夫妇20岁的儿子在寒假上吊自杀了,他们开始通过询问其他学生来查明他们到底忽视了哪些迹象”。第二段首句接着讲到,“由这个调查而生的是Ulifeline网站”,可知第一段是为了引出本文的话题,Ulifeline网站,故D项为正确答案。

    C

    the argument for the impossibility of self-plagiarism

    D

    the argument for the possibility of self-plagiarism


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    文章第一段第一句“Some people argue that self-plagiarism (自我剽窃) is impossible by definition because plagiarism is theft and people cannot steal from their own work.”表述了一些人的观点,随即第二句“this is not correct in law”说到这些观点在法律上是不正确的。由此可知this指的是人们认为不可能偷窃自己的东西这一观点,故选项C符合题意。

    D

    bring about the history of family-owned funeral homes.


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    推断题根据题干定位到文章第一段。选项B的内容虽与该段第二句相符,但没有联系文章主旨,犯了就事论事的错误。选项C和选项D也脱离了文章主题,故排除。该段首句在提到《六英尺下》这部美剧时表示,在该剧的第一集中,有个大公司打算买下一家由家庭经营的殡仪馆;接着第二句又说道,这实际是在影射…。联系全文主题可知,作者提到这部美剧的目的是为了引出殡仪馆这一话题,故答案为A项。

    C

    the first Black American
