参考答案和解析
本题考查推理引申。第一段第二句提到，要找到一种新的经济激励手段来取代传统的饥饿处罚。该段第三句分析了饥饿处罚不再起作用的社会原因，即，这个新社会将经济与政治混为一谈，否认经济秩序的自治权。因此作者对于政治对经济的干预是反感的，［B］在第一段中有所暗示。这种暗示在第二段第一句中“我承认对于社会某个部门可能拥有劳动力管理的最终权力感到恐惧”得到了证实。［A］是根据文中出现的whip（鞭）一词编造出来的选项。其实，whip在本文中是比喻用法，指的是“激励、鞭策手段”。文中只提到incentives，但未将它与regulations作比较，［C］错误。［D］在文中未涉及。

A)people have too many sources of entertainment
B) people have less internal restraints
C) people no longer enjoy family life as they did before
D)people do not want to be confined by marital ties
正确答案：B
答案：B
[试题分析]细节判断题。
[详细解答]在文章第一、二段，作者探讨了离婚增多的原因。他认为，社会的纵容、放任(permissiveness)使人们产生了不切实际的幻想，人们不愿做出婚姻需要夫妻双方所做出的牺牲，只想放纵自己。婚姻需要夫妻双方做出牺牲，需要他们在某些方面的自我约束(self—discipline)，而不能靠冲动行事。可见，作者认为离婚的主要原因是人们缺乏内在的自制(internal restraints)。

Prolonging Human Life
Prolonging human life has increased the size of the human population. Many people alive
today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago.Because
more people live longer,there are more people around at any given time. In fact,it is a decrease in death rates,not an increase in birthrates,that has led to the population explosion.
Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies,people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures,old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of famine,infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved,whereas if the parents survived they could have another child. In most contemporary societies,people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work;we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement,some-body else must support them. In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illness than young or middle-aged people;unless they have wealth or private or government insur-ance,they must often“go on welfare” if they have a serious illness.
When older people become senile or too weak and ill to care for themselves,they create grave problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures,they would be cared for at home until they died. Today,with most members of a household working or in school,there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need,a great many nursing homes and convalescent hospitals have been built.These are of-ten profit-making organizations,although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups.While a few of these institutions are good,most of them are simply“dumping grounds”for the dying in which“care”is given by poorly paid,overworked,and under-skilled personnel.Which of the following best describes the writer's attitude toward most of the nursing homes,and convalescent hospitals?
A: Sympathetic.
B: Unfriendly.
C: Optimistic.
D: Critical.答案：D解析：题干意为“作者认为造成人口爆炸的原因是什么？”利用题干中的细节信息短语population explosion作为定位线索，在第一段中找到相关句：In fact, it is a decrease in death rates, not an increase in birthrates, that has led to the population explosion．该句意为 “事实上，是由于死亡率的下降，而不是出生率的上升，导致了人口爆炸”。因此，C项“死亡率的下降”是正确答案。
题干意为“从短文中可以推断出狩猎和以采集为生的时代……”。利用题干中的细节信息词/短语hunting和gathering cultures作为定位线索，在第二段中找到相关句： In hunting and gathering cultures,old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of famine,infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, whereas if the parents survived they could have another child．相关句意为 “在以狩猎和采集为生的时代，不能跟上其他人的老人会被甩在后面，任他死去。在饥荒时，人们会放任婴儿死亡，因为如果他们的父母饿死了，他们也无法生存，而如果父母生存下来可重新生儿育女”。因此，B项“遇到饥荒时，人们会放任婴儿死亡”是正确的答案。
题干意为“依据短文内容来看，关于美国退休人员的陈述下面哪个选项正确？”利用题干中的细节信息短语retired people和the United States作为定位线索，在第二 段中找到相关句：In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty．该句提到“在美国，许多退休人员依靠社会保障金生活，其数额非常微薄，使得他们几乎挣扎于贫困的边缘”，由此可知在美国许多退休人员的生活是很艰难的。这正是选项A表达的意思，因而A项“许多人生活艰难”是正确的答案。
题干意为“在第三段中，‘this need’…”。该题属于词汇题中的语篇衔接词 题。首先找到“this need”所在的句子：To meet this need, a great many nursing homes and convalescent hospitals have been built. “this need”应该回指上文中具体提到的需要，因此关 注上文，首先关注该句的前一句：Today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person．该句意为“当今，由于家庭中大多数人都出去工作或上学，家里常常没有人来照顾有病或身体虚弱的人”。由此可知上文中提到的需要是“照顾有病的和身体虚弱的人”，因此答案为D项“需要照顾有病的和身体虚弱的人”。
题干意为“下面哪个选项能最恰当地描述作者对养老院和康复医院的态度？”该题属于主旨题，通常短文主题会在短文开头及/或短文结尾处有明确体现，因此首先关 注短文结尾处的句子：...most of them are simply “dumping grounds” for the dying in which“care” is given by poorly paid, overworked, and under-skilled personnel．该句提到“大多数机构只不过是丢弃垂死的人的‘垃饭场’，所谓的‘照顾’都是由收入低、超量工作、技术水平低下的人员提供的”。从作者的用词中可以看出作者在对包括养老院和康复医院的大多数机构持批评的态度，因此答案为D项“批评性的”。 -
第5题：
资料： The poverty line is the minimum income that people need for an acceptable standard of living. People with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor. Economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem.
As the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line does, too. Therefore, even with today’s relatively high standard of living, about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line. However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of living. Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs.
For one thing, more than half of the poor people in the United States are not qualified to work. Over 40 percent of the poor. People are children. By law, children less than 16 years old cannot work in many industries. A large number of poor people are Old. Many companies do not hire people over 65 years old, the normal retirement age.
Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons: they are sick, they do not have any motivation, they have family problems, or they do not believe that they can find a job.
Other poor people look for a job but cannot find one. Many poor adults never went to high school. Therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer.
At the present time, the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways. First, if the national economy grows, businesses and industries hire more workers. Some of the poor who are qualified to look for jobs may find employment. Then they will no longer be below the poverty line. Second, if society invests in the poor, the poor will become more productive. If the government spends money on social programs, education, and training for poor people, the poor will have the skills to offer. Then it is more likely that they can find jobs.
Finally, if the government distributes society's income differently, it raises some poor people above the poverty line. The government collects taxes from the non－poor and gives money to the poor. These payments to the poor are called welfare. In 1975 over 18 million people in the United States received welfare.
Some economists are looking for better solutions to the poverty problem. However, at the present time, many people depend on welfare for a minimally acceptable standard of living.
According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the reason of unemployment?A.some people are too young to work in many industries
B.some people are satisfied with the government welfare
C.some people don’t have motion to work
D.some people are not qualified to work答案：B解析：本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】NOT; reason of unemployment
【主题句】第三段more than half of the poor people in the United States are not qualified to work.（超过一半的美国穷人不能胜任工作。）；By law, children less than 16 years old cannot work in many industries.（法律规定，十六岁以下的孩子在许多行业不能工作。）；第四段Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons: they are sick, they do not have any motivation…（一些贫困的成年人由于各种个人原因不去找工作；患有疾病，没有任何工作积极性…）
【解析】第2题问“根据文章，以下哪一项不是失业的原因？”。A选项“一些人年龄太小，不能在许多行业工作”和第三段的主题句“法律规定，十六岁以下的孩子在许多行业不能工作。”信息一致，排除；B选项“一些人对政府的福利满意”，该信息从未在文章提及，故答案是B; C选项“一些人没有工作积极性”和第四段的主题句“没有任何工作积极性”信息一致，排除；D选项“一些人不能胜任工作”和第三段主题句“超过一半的美国穷人不能胜任工作”信息相符。 -

BWhether or not students do the work they are assigned is a good indication of how lazy they are.
CEngineering students should work harder than students in less demanding fields.
DMs. Dennis’ students are doing less work because Ms. Dennis is not as effective a teacher as she once was.
ELaziness is something most people do not outgrow.
正确答案： B解析：
文段中丹尼斯女士根据：越来越少的学生做布置给他们的工作这一现象，得出结论：工程学的学生更懒了，所以可知丹尼斯女士以学生完成布置给他们的工作的情况来衡量学生的勤奋程度，故B项是正确的。 -

最后一段作者描述到一些人认为更多的人睡得太多，作者指出“One can see the point of this also”，接着下文提到有些人在睡眠量低于平均水平的情况下也能把做好工作并玩得愉快，如果这样不会对他们身体造成伤害，那么“retard our development by holding back those people”将是遗憾的事情，可见作者认为那些人应该得到支持，因此D项符合文意。 -

正确答案： C解析：
第三段中指出“也许我们对那些调查统计的看法一直是本末倒置的”，我们总是相信“if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better.”，文章末句又说“与此相反的论据开始多起来了”，于是可知那些调查统计也许一直是被用来肯定高等教育的，故A项正确。 -

问答题Directions: some people prefer work or activities that mainly involve working with people. Others choose work or activities that mainly involve working with objects or machines. Compare these types of activities. Which of them do you prefer? Give reasons to support your answer. Your composition should be no less than about 160 words.正确答案：
Some people prefer work or activities that mainly involve working with objects or machines. They hold the opinion that this can make their work more accurate. However, I prefer to work with people. I have the following reasons to support my point of view.
First, working with people can promote the work efficiency. As we know, human beings are social animals. We need a community to live in, and to work with people is not a bad choice. For example, when I encounter a problem, I can consult my co-workers for advice. As the saying goes, three minds are greater than one. What’s more, we can cooperate with each other and the power of brain-storm can solve any difficulty. In this way, the team spirit is raised and the work efficiency is promoted.
Second, working with people brings about competition. Rivalry is a very effective motive in improving one’s ability. It can make one energetic and full of new ideas. The co-worker is also a competitor. One can measure his own achievement compared with others. In this way, the shortcomings can be easily located.
On the contrary, working with machines or objects can not be so productive. Though they are accurate, they can not communicate with people. To conclude, working with people can bring about fruitful results, which can make the society more harmonious.解析： 暂无解析 -
第13题：
In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a "weight problem". To many people, the cause is obvious: we eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were leaner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn't watch TV.
Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as a 1979 study of 3, 545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.
Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University found the following interesting fact:
The more the man ran, the greater loss of body fat.
The more they ran, the greater their increase in food intake.
Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.
1、What kind of physical problem do many adult Americans have?____
A、They are too slim.
B、They work too hard.
C、They are too fat.
D、 They lost too much body fat.
2、Based upon the statistics given in the article, suppose there are 500 adult Americans, about how many of them will have a "weight problem"?____
A、 30.
B、 50.
C、100.
D、150.
3、Is there scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a "weight problem"?____
A、Yes, there is plenty of evidence.
B、Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true.
C、There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this.
D、We don't know because the information is not given
4、In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of ____.
A、ate more food and had more physical activities
B、ate less food but had more activities
C、 ate less food and had less physical exercise
D、had more weight problems
5、What have modern medical and scientific researches reported to us?____
A、Fat people eat less food and are less active.
B、 Fat people eat more food than slim people and are more active.
C、 Fat people eat more food than slim people but are less active.
D、 Thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intake.

第15题：
Which of the following is true according to the first paragraph?
［A］ Democratic ideas started with education.
［B］ Federalists were opposed to education.
［C］ New education helped confirm people’s social status.
［D］ Old education had been in tune with hierarchical society.
正确答案：D本题是推理引申题。文章第一段第一句指出，随着19世纪上半叶民主权利的扩展以及随之而来的联邦主义机构的削弱，一种新的教育观念出现了。接下来的内容主要是围绕这种新的教育观念展开论述。从第一句话中可以得知，是民主权利的扩展带来了新的教育观念的产生，［A］项颠倒了二者的先后顺序，应排除。文中提到“新”的教育观念是在联邦主义机构削弱的情况下产生的。由此只能得出，新的教育观念与联邦主义有些冲突，并不能得出联邦主义者反对整个教育即［B］项的结论。第二句作者指出，教育不再是对人们先前存在的地位的确定，而成了获得更高地位的手段。［C］项与文意相悖，因此不正确。通过该句“不再”（no longer）可以推断出，从前的教育可以确定人们的社会地位，因此［D］项为正确答案。

A: Many of them have a very hard life.
B: They cannot live a decent life without enough bank savings.
C: They rely mainly on their children for financial support.
D: Most of them live with their children and therefore are well looked after.答案：A解析：题干意为“作者认为造成人口爆炸的原因是什么？”利用题干中的细节信息短语population explosion作为定位线索，在第一段中找到相关句：In fact, it is a decrease in death rates, not an increase in birthrates, that has led to the population explosion．该句意为 “事实上，是由于死亡率的下降，而不是出生率的上升，导致了人口爆炸”。因此，C项“死亡率的下降”是正确答案。
题干意为“从短文中可以推断出狩猎和以采集为生的时代……”。利用题干中的细节信息词/短语hunting和gathering cultures作为定位线索，在第二段中找到相关句： In hunting and gathering cultures,old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of famine,infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, whereas if the parents survived they could have another child．相关句意为 “在以狩猎和采集为生的时代，不能跟上其他人的老人会被甩在后面，任他死去。在饥荒时，人们会放任婴儿死亡，因为如果他们的父母饿死了，他们也无法生存，而如果父母生存下来可重新生儿育女”。因此，B项“遇到饥荒时，人们会放任婴儿死亡”是正确的答案。
题干意为“依据短文内容来看，关于美国退休人员的陈述下面哪个选项正确？”利用题干中的细节信息短语retired people和the United States作为定位线索，在第二 段中找到相关句：In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty．该句提到“在美国，许多退休人员依靠社会保障金生活，其数额非常微薄，使得他们几乎挣扎于贫困的边缘”，由此可知在美国许多退休人员的生活是很艰难的。这正是选项A表达的意思，因而A项“许多人生活艰难”是正确的答案。
题干意为“在第三段中，‘this need’…”。该题属于词汇题中的语篇衔接词 题。首先找到“this need”所在的句子：To meet this need, a great many nursing homes and convalescent hospitals have been built. “this need”应该回指上文中具体提到的需要，因此关 注上文，首先关注该句的前一句：Today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person．该句意为“当今，由于家庭中大多数人都出去工作或上学，家里常常没有人来照顾有病或身体虚弱的人”。由此可知上文中提到的需要是“照顾有病的和身体虚弱的人”，因此答案为D项“需要照顾有病的和身体虚弱的人”。
题干意为“下面哪个选项能最恰当地描述作者对养老院和康复医院的态度？”该题属于主旨题，通常短文主题会在短文开头及/或短文结尾处有明确体现，因此首先关 注短文结尾处的句子：...most of them are simply “dumping grounds” for the dying in which“care” is given by poorly paid, overworked, and under-skilled personnel．该句提到“大多数机构只不过是丢弃垂死的人的‘垃饭场’，所谓的‘照顾’都是由收入低、超量工作、技术水平低下的人员提供的”。从作者的用词中可以看出作者在对包括养老院和康复医院的大多数机构持批评的态度，因此答案为D项“批评性的”。 -

At the University of Kansas art museum,scientists tested the effect of different colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings.For the first group the room was painted white;for the second,dark brown.Movement of each group was followed by an electrical equipment under the carpet.The experiment showed that those who entered the dark brown walked more quickly,covered more area,and spent less time in the room than people in the white one.Dark brown made people more active,but the activity ended sooner.Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room affects those inside.Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces whose energy was to be commented.Three groups of people were used;each was shown the same photos,but each group was in an ordinary room—a nice office.The third was in a tastefully designed living room with carpeting.Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to give higher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did.Other studies that students do better on tests taken in comfortable room than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.
