资料:In a survey,people were asked to choose between treatments to save 600 people from dying a disease.
Participants,including physicians,were asked to choose between a certain outcome that 200 people will be saved and a risky choice where there is a one-third probability that 600 people will be saved and a two-thirds probability that no people will be saved.
In a second example,the group were asked to choose between allowing 400 people to die or a one-third probably that nobody will die and two-thirds probability that 600 people will die.
In both examples,the first choices have an identical outcome as do their second alternatives.But faced with such a grave choice people did not spot the similarities. In the first example people opted to save 200 people over the gamble of losing people and in the second example people preferred the gamble over the certain outcome of killing 400 people.
What the experiment shows is that wording can have potentially dangerous consequences.Most of people tend to feel losses much more strongly than the pleasure of making a comparable gain.

In the second example,more people choose the option( )?

A.with a one-third probability that nobody will die
B.with a two-thirds probability that nobody will be saved
C.allowing 400 people to die
D.that 200 people will be saved

参考答案和解析
答案:A
解析:
本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】second example;more people choose the option
【主题句】in the second example people preferred the gamble over the certain outcome of killing 400 people.在第二个例子中,人们更倾向于冒险,而不是杀死400人的特定结果。
【解析】本题的问题是“在第二个例子中,人们更倾向于哪个选择?”。根据原文可知,选项B以及选项D为第二个例子中的措辞,故排除B、D。(In a second example,the group were asked to choose between allowing 400 people to die or a one-third probably that nobody will die and two-thirds probability that 600 people will die.)结合主题句,“in the second example people preferred the gamble over the certain outcome of killing 400 people.在第二个例子中,人们更倾向于冒险,而不是杀死400人的特定结果。”故选A。

    Sino-Japan Animosity(敌意)Lessens

    Chinese and Japanese people view each other slightly more positively than last year,according to a
    survey released on Wednesday at a press conference in Beijing.
    The survey is jointly sponsored by China Daily and Genron NPO(非营利性的组织),a Japanese think
    tank similar to the American Council on Foreign Relations.It also found an overwhelming agreement in both
    countries that Sino-Japanese relations were important.
    The survey is a part of the Beijing-Tokyo Forum,an annual gathering of senior government officials and
    representatives from Chinese and Japanese NGOs(非政府组织)designed to improve communication and
    understanding between the Iwo countries.
    Conducted every year for five years now,the survey focused on two different groups of people:ordinary
    citizens,and intellectuals.In China,the intellectual group was comprised mainly of university students from
    well-known schools like Peking University.In Japan,the intellectual group was mainly made up of previous
    members of Genron NPO.
    Among ordinary Chinese polled,35.7 percent said they have"very good"or"relatively good"
    impressions of Japan,a 5.5-percentage-point increase compared with last year. 45.2 percent of Chinese
    students had a positive impression of Japan,two percentage points more than last year. Only 26.6 percent of
    Japanese have a positive impression of China,however.
    Still,an overwhelming majority of the respondents from each country said Sino-Japanese relations were
    "important"and wanted their leaders to deepen talks and cooperation with each other.
    But 51.9 percent of ordinary people and 42.4 percent of students in China said they saw no change in
    relations between the two countries over the last year. In Japan,64.8 percent of those ordinary people and
    53.4 percent of intellectuals surveyed shared the view that there was no improvement in bilateral ties this
    year.
    Historical issues and territorial disputes remain two major obstacles to improving bilateral relations,the
    survey found.What concerns the Chinese most are historical issues:visits by Japanese officials to Yasukuni
    Shrine(靖国神社),and the Nanjing Massacre(大屠杀).
    Perceptions on economic and trade relations have improved,though.About 47 percent of ordinary
    Japanese said China had been"helpful"this year in fighting the global economic crisis,compared with just
    30 percent last year. The percent of Japanese intellectuals who said Chinese economic growth was good for
    Japan increased from 65.8 percent to 81.4 percent this year.
    Cooperation in East Asia issues,trade and investment,energy,the environment and climate change top
    the list of common concerns that people in China and Japan want their leaders to talk about in bilateral
    meetings,the survey found.
    Civil exchanges were regarded by most people from both countries as an important way to improve
    relations.90. 7 percent of the students and 85.7 percent of the ordinary people in China and 95.8% of
    intellectuals and 74.8% of the ordinary people in Japan viewed civil exchanges as"important"or"relatively
    important".
    Chinese and Japanese both learn about each other's country mostly through television news and
    newspapers,the survey found.

    Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a major obstacle to improving bilateral ties?
    A:Territorial disputes.
    B:Trade frictions.
    C:Visits by Japanese omcials to Yasukuni Shrine.
    D:The Nanjing Massacre.

  • 第5题:

    资料:Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child or even an animal, such as a pingeon can learm to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.
    We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.
    Like the human face human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s peronality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a nice face looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a nice person, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate friendly, warm, and so forth.
    There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Allports, an American psychologist, found nearly18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types——people are described with such terms.
    People have always tried to type each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain’s or the hero’s role. In fact, the words person and persoality come from the Latin persona, meaning mask. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the good guys from the bad guys because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.

    What is the main idea of this passage?

    A.How to describe people’s personatities
    B.How to distinguish people’s faces
    C.How to distinguish people both inward and outward
    D.How to differ good people from bad people

    答案:C
    解析:
    本题考查的是主旨理解。
    【关键词】main idea
    【主题句】第一段Faces, like fingerprints, are unique.(脸就像指纹一样独一无二。);Yet a very young child-or even an animal, such as a pigeon --- can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.(然而,一个非常小的孩子或者一个动物(比如企鹅),他们能学会识别面容。);第二段We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.(我们也可以通过举止来区分不同的人。当谈到某个人的个性时,我们指的是他或她的行为,说话,思考和感受,这些能让个体区别与他人。);最后一段But we can easily tell the good guys from the bad guys because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.(但我们能轻松地区别好人和坏人,因为这两种人在外貌和行为上都有不同之处。)
    【解析】第1题问“这篇文章的主要内容是什么?”。首先,第一段指出外貌是区分个体和其他之间差异的重要指标,而这种识别面容的能力在小孩子,甚至是动物身上都能找到。而在第二段,文章提到除了外貌,还可以通过个性举止来识别一个人。此外,在文章结尾,作者提到了区别好人坏人的方法,既可以通过观察外貌,也可以通过行为来判断此人是好是坏。所以C选项“如何从内在和外在来区分一个人”,把原文内容进行总结归纳,应为正确答案。A选项“如何描述人们的个性”,该选项只在第三段最后一句有提及“But if you were asked to describe a nice person, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate(体贴的), friendly, warm, and so forth.”局部信息不能作为全文主旨;B选项“如何区分人脸”,文中并未提及,故排除;D选项“如何区分好人坏人”,该选项只在文章最后一句提及,全文并未多处涉及。

If x represents the number of people who subscribe to all three magazines, the number of people who subscribe to magazine A or B or C is 23+21+17-(4+4+4)-2x or 49-2x Since 18 of the 63 people did not subscribe to any of the three magazines, 45 people subscribed to magazine A or B or C. Hence, 45 = 49-2x, so x = 2.

    People have always tried to type each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain’s or the hero’s role. In fact, the words person and persoality come from the Latin persona, meaning mask. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the good guys from the bad guys because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.

    Which of the following is NOT true?

    A.People differ from each in appearance
    B.Different people may have different personalities
    C.People can learn to recognize faces
    D.People can describe all the features of others

    答案:D
    解析:
    本题考查的是细节理解。
    【关键词】NOT true
    【主题句】第一段Faces, like fingerprints, are unique.(脸就像指纹一样独一无二。);Yet a very young child-or even an animal, such as a pigeon --- can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.(然而,一个非常小的孩子,或者一个动物(比如企鹅),他们能学会识别面容);Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another.(可能即使是一位熟练的作家,他也不能把两张脸不同之处的所有特点描述出来。);第二段When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.(当谈到某个人的个性时,我们指的是他或她的行为,说话,思考和感受,这些能让个体区分他人。)
    【解析】第3题问“以下哪一项不是正确选项?”。A选项“人们的外貌都有不同”,该选项和第一段第一句话“脸就像指纹一样独一无二”内容一致;B选项“不同的人可能有不同的个性”,和文章第二段第二句话一致。C选项“人们能学会识别人脸”,和第一段第四句话“然而,一个非常小的孩子,或者一个动物(比如企鹅),他们能学会识别面容”内容一致。D选项“人们能把别人的所有特点描述出来”,和文章第一段第三句内容相反,原文说“即使是一位熟练的作家,他也不能把两张脸不同之处的所有特点描述出来”,说明没有人能说出所有特点,所以D选项为错误选项。

  • 第17题:

    资料:In a survey,people were asked to choose between treatments to save 600 people from dying a disease.
    Participants,including physicians,were asked to choose between a certain outcome that 200 people will be saved and a risky choice where there is a one-third probability that 600 people will be saved and a two-thirds probability that no people will be saved.
    In a second example,the group were asked to choose between allowing 400 people to die or a one-third probably that nobody will die and two-thirds probability that 600 people will die.
    In both examples,the first choices have an identical outcome as do their second alternatives.But faced with such a grave choice people did not spot the similarities. In the first example people opted to save 200 people over the gamble of losing people and in the second example people preferred the gamble over the certain outcome of killing 400 people.
    What the experiment shows is that wording can have potentially dangerous consequences.Most of people tend to feel losses much more strongly than the pleasure of making a comparable gain.

    What is the difference between the two examples mentioned in the passage?

    A.The participants
    B.The wording
    C.The background
    D.The contents

    答案:B
    解析:
    本题考查细节理解。
    【关键词】difference;between the two examples
    【主题句】What the experiment shows is that wording can have potentially dangerous consequences。实验表明,措辞可能会带来潜在的危险后果。
    【解析】本题问的是“文章中提到的两个例子,有哪些不同”。文章开头提到一项调查,人们被要求在治疗方法之间做出选择,以拯救600人免于死于一种疾病。举出两种问答方式示例,并以此展开描述。示例一“Participants,including physicians,were asked to choose between a certain outcome that 200 people will be saved and a riskychoice where there is a one-third probability that 600 people will be saved and a two-thirds probability that no people will be saved.”意为“参与者,包括医生,被要求在确定结局及风险选择之间进行选择, 200人将被拯救,或有三分之一的可能性有600人被拯救,三分之二的可能性是没有人会被拯救。”示例二“In a second example,the group were asked to choose between allowing 400 people to die or a one-third probably that nobody will die and two-thirds probability that 600 people will die.”意为“在第二个例子中,这组人同样被要求做出选择,400人会死,或者有三分之一的可能没有人会死,三分之二的可能是600人会死。”选项A意为“参与者”,选项B意为“措辞”,选项C意为“背景”,选项D意为“内容”,结合文章及主题句,故选B。

    判断题
    There were more people killed in road accidents than those dying of HIV/AIDS worldwide in 2000.
    A

    B


    正确答案:
    解析:
    录音中提到2000年有超过160万人死于暴力,该数字大概是那年死于艾滋病人数的一半,可知2000年有大概320万人因艾滋病去世,根据录音最后提到的“In 2000, violence took more lives than road traffic crashes…”可知因道路交通事故去世的人比死于暴力的人数少,由此可知那年因艾滋病去世的人数最多,故题干有误。
    【录音原文】
    In 2000, there were over l.6 million deaths due to violence. This is about half the number of deaths due to HIV/AIDS in that year, and about equal to the number of deaths due to tuberculosis. In 2000, violence took more lives than road traffic crashes and malaria.
