第4题：
Research Is a State of Mind For many years there has been much misunderstanding as to just what research is. The popular conception seems to be that there is something mysterious about it， and before any research can be done it is necessary to have expensive scientific apparatus and large， elaborately equipped laboratories. Actually， this is not so. （6） It is a simple， organized way of trying to accomplish something you wish to do—so simple that anyone can do research anywhere at any time. First， you select the problem you would like to solve， then you list at least ten reasons why it has not been solved. （7） It takes just as much effort to solve a useless problem as a useful one. （8） After carefully—and I want to emphasize that word “carefully”—selecting the problem and the ten things between you and the solution， you then use the same procedure as in solving a crossword puzzle.（9）In the solution of the remaining obstacles you may need some simple apparatus， but the things you will probably need most are infinite patience and persistence. Few people realize the difficulties of doing any new thing. Maybe one of the reasons people are so easily discouraged is because of their education. During all our years at school we were examined two or three times a year. If we failed once， we were out. （10）If we are going to make progress， we must learn to fail intelligently so that we won't become discouraged at the 99.9 per cent failure. 9.（）
- A、Make sure the game is worth the candle.
- B、That is a step in the right direction， but I don't believe it is enough.
- C、You take the easy obstacles first and by a process of elimination you eventually arrive at the one or two major ones.
- D、But in selecting the problem， you need to be sure to analyze it carefully to see that it is worth the effort.
- E、Research isn't a physical thing at all； it's a state of mind.
- F、By contrast， all research work is 99. 9 per cent failure and， if we succeed once， we are in.

文章最后一句提到“Now Walker was ready for her next big step”由此可知：现在沃克在为她的下一个重大步骤做准备。于是可以推断下文将要讨论Maggie’s big step。只有B项与之相关。A、C、D项与最后一段最后一句话均没有联系。 -
第6题：
单选题By saying “condemning all of us to remain boys and girls forever, jogging and doing push-ups against eternity”, the author means that .Ashe thinks people shouldn’t be so concerned about physical fitness
Bshe feels too old and tired to do such hard exercise
CAmerican society is overemphasizing youth and physical appearance
Dwhat happened to children centuries ago may occur to adults in America soon
正确答案： A解析：
语义题。题干所引用部分出现在文章第五段，该引用部分之前提到“If in the old days children did not exist, it seems equally true today that adults, as a class, have begun to disappear”（如果在过去孩子不存在，那么如今成人这一阶层正在逐渐消失似乎同样可信）。因此选项D表述正确，即由于过去孩子们的一切都几乎和成人一样，因此孩子这一概念不存在，那么如今成人这个阶层也将消失。 -

BThat is a step in the right direction， but I don't believe it is enough.
CYou take the easy obstacles first and by a process of elimination you eventually arrive at the one or two major ones.
DBut in selecting the problem， you need to be sure to analyze it carefully to see that it is worth the effort.
EResearch isn't a physical thing at all； it's a state of mind.
FBy contrast， all research work is 99. 9 per cent failure and， if we succeed once， we are in.
正确答案： E解析： 联系上下文，上文阐述多年来人们对做研究有误解，认为在开始一项研究前，一定要有昂贵的设备才可以，下文阐述研究是任何人可以在任何地方任何时间做的事。因此空格处需要填入一个过渡句衔接上下文，E项符合条件。答案为E。 -

B) there is confusion about different kinds of truth
C) people try to modernise old fairy stories
D) there is more concern for children' s fears nowadays
正确答案：B
答案：B
[试题分析] 主旨题。
[详细解答] 第四段的主要内容是说神话所讲内容大多是虚构的，不真实的，孩子们无法学会适应现实的本领，最后一句提到：If their case were sound，the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted girl-friend，目的就是对此主旨进行说明。其中，case就是指神话故事中虚构的，不现实的事实，显然，作者的目的就是表明神话故事会让孩子们混淆事实，无法正确认识现实世界。所以，B为正确答案。

单选题What does the passage mainly talk about?AScribbler50’s attitude towards smoking bans.
BThe research on how people can stop smoking.
CThe effectiveness of smoking bans.
DSmoking bans in restaurants and bars.
正确答案： C解析：
主旨大意题。纵观全文，第一段提出了一个问题：“所有的禁令都是同等有效的吗?”后面段落都是围绕这个问题展开的；第二段介绍Scribbler50非常反感禁烟令以及他的观点；第三段说的是PalMD对禁烟令的调查，结果表明有一定的好处；第四段继续发问：政府的其他措施是否有所帮助?第五段和第六段阐述了对香烟盒上警告语的研究，表明不是所有的禁烟令都有效，而且有的香烟盒上的警告语会有反作用；第七段讲述Scribbler50现在支持禁烟；最后一段是作者对禁烟令的一些假想。所以文章行文都是围绕C“禁烟令的有效性”这一主题展开的。正确答案为C。 -

Bhas been proved to be true by scientific investigations
Cis a theory that lacks sufficient evidence
Dhas never taken place on any scale
Eprovides insight into our biological cousins
正确答案： E解析：
作者在最后一段第三句“there is no evidence whatsoever of the evolution of a separate and distinct species”，这说明作者认为还没有足够的证据微进化的存在。 -
第19题：
单选题The author is worried about the fact that _____Achildren may imitate what they have seen or read about crime
Bthe more prosperous the United States is, the higher the crime rate becomes
Ccitizens carrying guns will be punished
Dall the state laws will be punished

第20题：
单选题The author thinks that ______.Apacking is actually useless and could be ignored
Bpeople will soon stop using packaging altogether
Cenough research has been done into recycling
Dit is better to produce new materials than to re-use old ones
正确答案： B解析：
先看四个选项的意思：A“实际上包装很没用，可以被忽略”，B“不久人们就会停止使用包装”，C“在回收再利用方面已经有了足够的研究成果”，D“发掘新材料好过回收利用旧的材料”。由文章可知，只有少数包装是有用的，绝大多数包装只是为了吸引消费者，而消费者对包装并不感兴趣f并且专家认为解决污染问题的唯一途径是不再用塑料包装物。可总结得出：包装并无多大用处，我们可以忽略它。故选A。 -
第21题：
单选题The author of the text is primarily concerned with ______.Aadvancing a new methodology for changing a monkey’s social behavior
Bcomparing the methods of several research studies on aggression among monkeys
Cexplaining the reasons for researcher’s interest in monkey’ s social behavior
Ddiscussing the development of investigators’ theories about aggression among monkeys
正确答案： B解析：
主旨题。文章首段首句即指出研究猴子行为的人员经常被monkeys’ aggressive potential and the consequent need for social control of their aggressive behavior震惊到。随后就讲述了现代科学家们对aggression的新认识和发现，因此D项“讨论了研究人员关于猴子攻击性理论的发展”可以概括全文。 -

第23题：
单选题The author thinks that _____.Amany people have labored to be leaders
Bleaders are beyond our understanding
Cthe essence of leadership has not been grasped
Dthe definitions of leadership should vary
正确答案： D解析：
第三段第二句起作者提到对领导艺术的解释是多种多样的，而每一种都是片面的、不完整的和不充分的。这些定义大部分相互矛盾，而且很多都没有研究领袖的领导技巧。这些定义反映了当时的政治潮流和学术趋向。它们不能反映实际情况，有时一点用都没有。
