  • 第1题:

    You can infer that most of the goals of the Knights of Labor were ______.

    A. unwelcome by the AF of L

    B. not reached until after the Knights of Labor died out

    C. not helpful to women

    D. welcome by factory owner


    正确答案:B

    本题为细节信息归纳推理题。题中关键词为infer...the goal of..。infer说明须利用文中所给的条件,根据短文提供的情景进行推理和概括,而不能只凭某句话或主观看法下结论。第3段末句...by 1890 the union had died out及第4段末句most federal laws...were not passed until the 1930's说明Knights of Labour早在1890年便瓦解了,而含有保护工人权益内容的联邦法律直到26世纪30年代才被通过。故正确答案为B项。至于A项,其信息与文章内容不符;C项文中没有提及;D项内容不仅文章中没有,也不符合逻辑推理,所以都是错的。

    According to Karen Norberg, ______.
    A

    among children born out of wedlock there were more girls than boys.

    B

    the chance of a woman giving birth to a girl is higher if she has been living with a man before the child was conceived.

    C

    for parents who were not cohabiting, boys were born 51.5% of the time.

    D

    women who have not been living with a man are more likely to have daughters.


    正确答案: A
    解析:
    录音中Karen Norberg在研究中发现“the chance of a woman giving birth to a boy rather than a girl is higher if she has been living with a man before the child was conceived”,可见在他看来一个女人在怀孩子之前与一个男人一起生活那么她生男孩的几率就相对较大,因此选项D的推断正确。
    【录音原文】
    Can household arrangements affect the human sex ratio? According to Karen Norberg, of the National Bureau of Economic Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts, they can. In a review of data from almost 60, 000 American families, Dr Norberg found that the chance of a woman giving birth to a boy rather than a girl is higher if she has been living with a man before the child was conceived. To be specific, for parents who were living together, boys were born 51.5% of the time, while when the parents were not cohabiting only 49.9% of births were male. This difference may seem small, but statistically it is highly significant, which suggests it is the result of evolution.
