【答案】【参考译文】

从他的描述中也可以清楚地看出，是谁歪曲了这一威胁：媒体和政客。在这篇文章中，他斥责了两者。他说，政客们为了自己的政治利益而放大威胁，误导公众对恐怖主义产生误解，比起在国内有效打击恐怖主义，他们更愿（仅仅）表现出一副强硬态度。他认为媒体报道有明显的缺陷且很滑稽，并暗示媒体和政客很少错过任何操纵和渲染新闻事件的机会。这两个因素结合在一起大大地夸大了美国的恐怖主义威胁，导致了大众的谈虎色变。对西方的威胁的关注度在某种程度上是可以理解的——媒体和政客们关注并试图减轻的是对自己国家的威胁。

【答案】第1题:B

第2题:A

第3题:B

第4题:A

【解析】第1题:1.【选项释义】

1.Whydoestheauthorrefertotheimpactofrailroadsbeforethelate1860’sas“limited”?1.为什么作者说19世纪60年代以前铁路的影响是“有限的”？

A.Becausepassengerspreferredwagonsandstagecoaches.A.因为乘客们更喜欢马车。

B.Becauseothermodesoftransportationhadtobeemployed.B.因为必须使用其他运输方式。

C.Becausetheywereonlycenterforwaterbornetransportation.C.因为它们只是水上交通的中心。

D.Becausethetrackdidnottakedirectroutefromonecitytothenext.D.因为铁轨并没有直接从一个城市到另一个城市。

【考查点】推理判断题。

【解题思路】根据题干定位至第一段前两句“在19世纪60年代中期之前，铁路对美国的影响是有限的，从某种意义上说，铁路的终点是密苏里河，大约是国家的中心。这时，火车把货物、邮件和乘客转交给轮船、马车和公共马车。”，从中我们可以推断出，19世纪60年代以前铁路的影响是“有限的”，是因为必须要使用其他运输方式。B项正确。

【干扰项排除】

A项“因为乘客们更喜欢马车”和D项“因为铁轨并没有直接从一个城市到另一个城市”没有提及，无中生有；

C项“因为它们只是水上交通的中心”，这是蒸汽划船和马车运输等其他运输方式成为铁路运输补充的结果，与题干无关，张冠李戴。

第2题:2.【选项释义】

2.Whatcanbeinferredaboutcoachesandwagonfreightersastherailroadexpanded?2.随着铁路的扩张，我们可以推断出关于客车和马车货船的什么？

A.Theydevelopedcompetingroutes.A.他们开发了相互竞争的路线。

B.Theirdriversrefusedtoworkfortherailroads.B.他们的司机拒绝为铁路工作。

C.Theybegantospecializeinprivateinvestment.C.他们开始专门从事私人投资。

D.Therewereinsufficienttrainedpeopletooperatethem.D.没有足够的训练有素的人员来操作它们。

【考查点】推理判断题。

【解题思路】根据第二段第一句“在不断缩小的路线上，马车和货车继续在西部尚未铺设铁路的地方纵横交错”，从中可知，随着铁路的扩张，传统的货运方式逐渐衰落，但是在火车线路不能到达的地方，他们仍在扩展相互竞争的路线。故该题选择A项正确。

【干扰项排除】B项“他们的司机拒绝为铁路工作”、C项“他们开始专门从事私人投资”和D项“没有足够的训练有素的人员来操作它们”没有提及，无中生有。

第3题:3.【选项释义】

3.WhydoestheauthormentiontheSierraNevadainparagraph2?3.为什么作者在第2段中提到内华达山脉？

A.Topointoutthelocationofaserioustrainaccident.A.指出发生严重火车事故的地点。

B.TogiveanexampleofobstaclesfacedbytheCentralPacific.B.举一个中央太平洋铁路公司面临的障碍的例子。

C.ToarguethatadirectroutetotheWestcouldhavebeentaken.C.争辩说可以采取直接去西方的路线。

D.ToidentifyahistoricallysignificantmountainrangeintheWest.D.确定西部有历史意义的山脉。

【考查点】推理判断题。

【解题思路】根据关键词SierraNevada定位到第二段的第二句“19世纪60年代末，重大变化已露端倪，在这一时期，太平洋联合铁路终于开始由位于中央平原的奥马哈市向西扩建，与中央太平洋铁路汇合，中央太平洋从加利福尼亚经过内华达山脉的巨大障碍，向东挺进”，从该句可以推断，作者提到内华达山脉是为了给中央太平洋铁路公司面临的障碍举例，B项正确。

【干扰项排除】A项“指出发生严重火车事故的地点”、C项“争辩说可以采取直接去西方的路线”和D项“确定西部有历史意义的山脉”在该段没有依据，无中生有。

第4题:4.【选项释义】

4.Whylittleconstructionwascompletedthoughthebillhadlongbeensigned?4.为什么法案早就签署了，却有很少的建设已经完工？

A.Becauseofaworrythatlittlebenefitwouldbegained.A.因为担心不会有什么好处。

B.Becauseofaharsh,challengingandthinlysettledplain.B.因为一个严酷的，具有挑战性的和稀疏的平原。

C.Becauseofachangeoftheplanowingtothehighcost.C.因为成本太高，计划改变了。

D.Becauseofacontinuedrunningofcoachesandwagons.D.因为长途汽车和马车的持续运行。

【考查点】事实细节题。

【解题思路】根据题干定位至第二段第三句“尽管亚伯拉罕•林肯总统在1862年签署了最初的太平洋铁路法案，并在1864年签署了修订版，在财政上更加慷慨，但直到1865年中太平洋铁路和1866年联合太平洋铁路才完成了很少的建设”，结合下一句“主要原因是，人们怀疑修建一条穿越沙漠、山脉和半干旱平原的铁路是否有利可图（Theprimaryreasonwasskepticismthat…couldpayaprofit）”，理解可知，很少的建设已经完工的原因是，人们怀疑没有利益可图，A项“因为担心不会有什么好处”符合这一分析。

【干扰项排除】

B项“因为一个严酷的，具有挑战性的和稀疏的平原”是人们怀疑是否有利可图的原因，与题干无关，张冠李戴；

C项“因为成本太高，计划改变了”和D项“因为长途汽车和马车的持续运行”没有提到，无中生有。
