2.细节事实题。题目提问‘在作者看来,现在奇怪的现象是什么?’根据第一段“Nowomancanbetoorichortoothin.ThissayingoftenattributedtothelateDuchessofWindsorembodiesmuchoftheoddspiritofourtimes.Beingthinisdeemedassuchavirtue.女人不能太有钱也不能太瘦。这句话经常被认为是已故温莎公爵夫人说的,它体现了我们这个时代的许多古怪精神。苗条被认为是一种美德。”以及根据第四段中“Todaytheoppositeistrue.Wehaveshiftedtothinnessasournewmarkofvirtue.今天情况正好相反。我们已经把瘦变成了美德的新标志。”可知,作者认为现在奇怪的现象是B选项“苗条被认为是一种非常理想的品质”。

4.推理判断题。题目提问‘作者对那些专注于瘦身的女性有什么忠告?’根据文章倒数第二段中“...inmanycases,beingoverweightcorrelateswithanincreasedriskofheartandbloodvesseldisease.Thesediseases,however,mayhaveasmuchtodowithourwayoflifeandourhigh-fatdietsaswithexcessweight.Andtheassociatedriskofcancerinthedigestivesystemmaybemoreofadietaryproblem-toomuchfatandalackoffiber-thanaweightproblem.在许多情况下,肥胖与增加心血管疾病的风险息息相关。不过除了超重,这些疾病也同样与我们的生活方式及高脂肪饮食习惯有很大关系。患消化系统癌症的相关风险可能更主要是饮食而非体重问题——食物高脂肪低纤维。”以及最后一段中“Itisactuallyhazardousifthosewhoget(oralreadyare)thinthinktheyareautomaticallyhealthyandthusfreefrompayingattentiontotheiroveralllife-style.如果那些瘦人认为他们自然而然就可保持健康,从而不注意总体生活方式,实际上会很危险。”可知作者提出肥胖、生活方式与疾病的关系,确定D选项“他们应该更加关注他们的整体生活方式”符合要求。

5.推理判断题。题目提问‘作者从什么方面批评了女性对瘦身的痴迷?’根据最后一段中“Itisactuallyhazardousifthosewhoget(oralreadyare)thinthinktheyareautomaticallyhealthyandthusfreefrompayingattentiontotheiroveralllife-style.Thinnesscanbepurevainglory.如果那些变瘦的人(或已经变瘦的人)认为他们天生就健康,因此不关注他们的整体生活方式,这实际上是危险的。瘦可以是纯粹的虚荣。”确定作者从健康方面和虚荣心方面批评了女性对瘦身的痴迷,B选项正确。

【答案】第1题:D

第2题:A

第3题:B

第4题:C

第5题:A

【解析】1.细节事实题。根据本文第一句内容"ThismonthSingaporepassedabillthatwouldgivelegalteethtothemoralobligationtosupportone’sparents.”可知虽说新法受到了新加坡政府的支持,但是在第二段中说了议会中有些成员反对此法,所以A选项‘得到了新加坡议会的一致支持’错误。作者虽然介绍了此法的一些作用,但并没有说新法将会解决贫穷老人所有的问题,所以B选项‘被认为是解决所有贫困老人的问题’错误。由本文倒数第二段看出新法不仅不会取代新加坡的传统价值观,反而会在保持传统美德方面起重要作用,所以C选项‘是为了取代新加坡的传统价值观’错误。运用排除法确定只有D选项“新法能让年轻人对自己的父母更负责任”正确。

2.推理判断题。作者通过新加坡老龄人口比率的迅速增长来暗示这个国家将会面临很多由人口老龄化带来的问题。而第四段最后一句“Itisthattheratioofeconomicallyactivepeopletoeconomicallyinactivepeoplewilldecline.经济活跃人口与经济不活跃人口的比例将会下降。”表明问题已经是经济上的问题了,所以A选项‘这个国家未来将面临越来越多的老年人问题’正确。

3.细节事实题。根据本文第七段第二句内容“Afathercanbecompelledbylawtomaintainhischildren.法律可以强迫父亲抚养孩子。”确定B选项‘父亲有照顾孩子的法律义务。’正确。

4.细节事实题。根据本文倒数第二段第一句话“TheMaintenanceofParentsBillwasputforthtoencouragethetraditionalvirtuesthathavesofarkeptAsiannationsfromsomeofthebreakdownsencounteredinotheraffluentsocieties.《赡养父母法案》的提出是为了鼓励传统美德,这些美德迄今使亚洲国家避免了其他富裕社会所遭遇的一些崩溃。”确定作者认为传统美德会保持亚洲的独特性,所以C选项‘保持亚洲的独特性很重要’正确。

5.推理判断题。题目的意思是‘作者认为,如果该法案成为法律,其效果将是….’文章最后说“Onlyinextremecaseswouldanyparenttakehischildtocourt.只有在极端情况下,父母才会把孩子告上法庭。”在接下来的几段里,作者讲到赡养父母是个人的责任,并非社会的责任。而有些人碍于情面,不得不重新考虑赡养父母的问题。因此该议案起到了间接的作用。A选项‘间接的’正确。B选项unnoticed表示“被忽视的”;C选项apparent表示“明显的”;D选项contradictory表示“矛盾的”。

8.单选题

D.eliminate

【答案】D

【解析】动词辨析。A选项“反对,抗议”;B选项“复制,重复”;C选项“同意,赞成”;D选项“消除,清除,淘汰”;依据句意‘罗宾小姐仔细检查打字稿,力求消除所有的错误’确定D选项正确。

随着石油和天然气价格不断上涨,利润也将滚滚而来,但在此时却提出让三家公司减少持股,多少有些不合时宜。

D.avoided

【答案】A

【解析】动词和词组辨析。句意‘尽管两位委员会成员属于不同的政党,但他们就如何为该镇的债务融资达成一致’A选项“对…取得一致意见”;B选项“使复杂化”,原型是complicate;C选项“证明,证实”;D选项“躲开,避免”;根据关键词despite和belongedtodifferentpoliticalparties可以推断出填入空白处的词是要和前面的意思形成对比或转折,所以A选项正确。

)fightsorthodoxytoadraw,thennoveltyhasseizedagoodchunkofspacefromconvention

问题1选项

A.imitation

B.reaction

C.dogmatism

D.invention

【答案】D

【解析】名词辨析。句意‘对于Kimura激进的分子演化理论的介绍表明了当创新和正统斗争到一个结论,创新就从传统中得到了大块的空间。’通过观察分析题目的结构可知orthodoxy对应的是题目最后一部分中的convention,都是表示“传统”,而空白处对应的是题目最后一部分中的novelty,都表示“创新”,四个选项中只有选项invention能表示“创新”,所以D选项正确。

)thefirefly’ssystem.

问题1选项

A.engenders;manipulates

B.reflects;simulates

C.outstrips;rivals

D.inhibits;matches

【答案】C

【解析】动词辨析。首先看第一个空,engender“产生,引起(某种感觉或情况)”;reflect“反映,反射(声、光、热等)”;outstrip“超过,胜过”;inhibit“禁止,抑制”,根据句意第一个空应该填“outstrip”;再看第二个空,manipulate“(暗中)控制,(熟练地)操作”;reflect“表明,显示”;rival“堪比某人/某物竞争,比得上某人/某物”;match“相配,与……不相上下”;根据句意‘自然界的能量效率常常超过人类的技术:尽管莹火虫所发出的光亮极为强烈,但其热量却微乎其微。人类也是在近期才研制出能量效率能与萤火虫的发光体系相媲美的化学发光系统。’最适合填入第二个空的是“rival”,C选项正确。
