  • 第3题:


    Why does the author mention Fuller s The Sea?( )

    A.To point out a dance of Fuller’s in which music did not play an important role.
    B.To explain why Fuller sometimes used music by progressive composers.
    C.To ilustrate a particular way in which Fuller developed as an artist.
    D.To ilustrate how Fuller’s interest in science was reflected in her work.

    答案:C
    解析:
    细节题。根据题干关键词The Sea定位到文章第五段的第三句。该句将The Sea作为一个作品示例,但例证的观点或主题需要根据段落上下文确定。段落第一句提到“随着专业技能方面的复杂化、成熟化,富勒在舞蹈的其他方面也得到了发展”。段落第二句举出了使用音乐的例子,第三句中The Sea作为舞蹈主题方面的例子出现,由此可见,两个例子都是为了证明富勒在舞蹈其他方面的发展,而这些发展都是富勒自己独特的尝试。C项“说明富勒发展成一个艺术家的特殊方式”与之相符。A项“在富勒的一个舞蹈中,音乐的作用不大”,B项“解释为什么富勒有时会用先进音乐家的音乐”,D项“阐述富勒对科学的兴趣如何在她的作品中反映出来”,均不正确。

    D

    B

    It enables us to recall something from our memory.

    C

    It expands our memory capacity considerably.

    D

    It slows down the process of losing our memory.


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    细节题。第二段首句指出“Encoding ... is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impact on recalling it later”,编码是对某件事作出注意,而这种注意是对后来回忆该事件有巨大影响的一种特定的方法,这与A项“有助于更好地理解记忆系统”不符,故排除。B项“适当编码可使我们从记忆里回忆事件”与上面的句意相符,故B为答案。

    态度题。作者在文中给出了科学的真正定义,并对此进行了充分的论证,驳斥了很多人对于科学的含混概念。但作者的最终意图并不是要明确科学的概念,他在文中一再提到教育问题,就是不希望错误的科学概念导致教育方向的偏差,故答案为D项。选项A、B、C都不是作者的主要意图,皆可排除。

  • 第20题:

    问答题
    【参考范例二】PART 2Describe a colleague that you like to work with. You should say:  what this person does  what sort of work you do with this person  how long you have known each other  and explain why you like to work with this person.You will have to talk about the topic for one or two minutes.You have one minute to think about what you’re going to say.You can make some notes to help you if you wish.

    正确答案: I’d like to talk about the guy I met during my internship at a local station. We were both working at the evening news section. His name was Jack and he was responsible for news editing while I was the assistant of the chief editor. On the first day of work, I simply spin around with lots of paper materials and tapes in my hands and couldn’t find my way. Jack leaded me to the office and helped me work out those papers. He was very competent and responsible. Besides, he was outgoing and warm-hearted with a big smile on his face. He was really a nice guy to work with. Before long, he became very popular among all the colleagues. Everybody enjoyed talking to him and being around him. I liked working with him too. He would strive to solve others’ trouble. I’ve known him for 4 years and I wish we could be colleagues again someday.

  • 第21题:

    单选题
    Why does the author say at the beginning “The miserable fate of Enron’s employees will be a landmark in business history…”?
    A

    Because the company has gone bankrupt.

    B

    Because such events would never happen again.

    C

    Because many Enron workers lost their retirement savings.

    D

    Because it signifies a turning point in economic security.


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    推断题。既然题干中提到“Enron职工的悲惨命运将是商业史上标志性的事件”,可见此事对整个商界产生了巨大的影响。公司的破产或员工失去退休积蓄并不会对整个商界产生影响,而是其产生的影响构成了标志性事件,排除A、C项。文中并未提及这种事情将不再发生,B项说法过于绝对,故排除。从文章第二段可知,20世纪的一个audacious promise就是经济安全:政府的福利制度、劳工组织的保障、以及大企业财团的产生,让职工们普遍认为他们的工作是终身的,并且退休后肯定也有退休金。然而,从第三段开始,作者指出了这个保险体系的decline,以及由此引发的一系列政府、企业等政策的改变,进而最终导致的职工们一无所有的惨状。因此可以说这次事件体现了经济安全方面的转变。故D项符合。

    What does the author say about To Kill a Mockingbird?
    A

    Its author is a young girl.

    B

    It was written in a serious way.

    C

    One theme may be racial inequality.

    D

    Tom Robinson committed a crime.


    正确答案: A
    解析:
    第三段最后一句提到“The novel is famous for its warmth and humor, despite telling a story of innocent Tom Robinson being accused of raping a white woman because he was black.”To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee讲述了无辜的Tom Robinson由于是黑人而被白人妇女起诉的故事,因此推断这部小说的主题可能涉及到种族歧视。故选C。

    Why does the author say that even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive?
    A

    Because they are easy to steal.

    B

    Because they are difficult for people to obtain.

    C

    Because they are not easy to carry around.

    D

    Because they themselves are expensive, too.


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    推理题。由“Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money.”可知,即使是用金银来买贵重的物品也不方便,因此中国人改进货币,使用纸币。纸币的好处就在于携带方便。
