【答案】第1题:C

第2题:B

第3题:D

第4题:A

第5题:B

【解析】31.【试题答案】C

【试题解析】主旨大意题。文章第一段介绍了统计学的诞生，接着介绍了两种统计方法：描述性统计和推断性统计可以解决的问题，说明本文主要讲的是统计学的发展和应用。因此C选项“统计学的发展和使用”正确。A选项“描述性统计和推断性统计的缺点”，原文只介绍了这两者的由来，没有介绍它们的缺点，所以A错误。B选项“推断性统计的应用”，D选项“如何使用描述性统计”，原文介绍了描述性统计和推断性统计两者的应用，所以B，D错误。

32.【试题答案】B

【试题解析】客观细节题。由题干关键词“countinganddescribing”可以定位到文章第一段第三句Theinfluenceofthemotherontheoffspring,statistics,isrepresentedbycounting,measuring,describing,tabulating,ordering,andthetakingofcensuses,allofwhichledtomoderndescriptivestatistics.（“母亲”对其后代统计学的影响表现在计数、测量、描述、制表、归类和人口普查，所有这些导致了现代描述统计学的诞生。），说明计数和描述与描述性统计学相关。因此B选项“描述性统计”正确。A选项“推断性统计”，C选项“未知变量”，D选项“质变”均不符合题意，所以A，C，D错误。

33.【试题答案】D

【试题解析】推理判断题。第一段中提到“母亲”和“父亲”用来说明统计学的诞生和起源，运用拟人的手法使文章更加生动幽默，有助于读者理解。因此D选项“以幽默、易懂的方式介绍统计学的背景”正确。A选项“指出父母可以教孩子统计”，B选项“为了介绍推断性统计”，C选项“说明变量有不同的种类”均不符合题意，所以A，B，C错误。

34.【试题答案】A

【试题解析】客观细节题。由题干可以定位到文章第二段最后一句Descriptivestatisticsisatoolfordescribingorsummarizing,orreducingtocomprehensibleformthepropertiesofanotherwiseunwieldymassofdata.（描述性统计是一种工具，它对极其庞杂的数据进行描述、概括或简化，使之成为可理解的东西。），说明描述性统计可以将庞杂的数据简单化。因此A选项“简化了繁杂的大量数据”正确。B选项“导致了变异性的增加”，C选项“可以解决所有的数值问题”，D选项“把定性变量变为定量变量”在文中均没有提及，所以B，C，D错误。

35.【试题答案】B

【试题解析】客观细节题。由题干可以定位到文章第三段最后一句Thus,thepurposeofinferentialstatisticsistopredictorestimatecharacteristicsofapopulationfromaknowledgeofthecharacteristicsofonlyasampleofthepopulation.（因此，推理性统计的目的就是通过了解整个群体中一部分样本的特征，来预测和估计整个群体的特征。），说明考察样本目的是预测和估计整个群体的特征。因此B选项“预测整个群体的特征”正确。A选项“为了比较不同的群体”，C选项“考虑所有的定量变量”，D选项“将数据集合制成表格”在文中均没有提及，所以A，C，D错误。

2.单选题

TheSpanishteam,whoarenotinsuperbform,willbedoingtheirbestnextweektorevengethemselvesontheGermanteamforlastyear’sdefeat.

问题1选项

A.retaliate

B.recover

C.repel

D.defend

【答案】A

【解析】考查动词词义辨析。A选项retaliate“报复”；B选项recover“恢复；弥补；重新获得”；C选项repel“击退；抵制；使厌恶；使不愉快”；D选项defend“辩护；防护”。句意：目前状态不佳的西班牙队将在下周全力以赴，为去年的失利向德国队报仇。结合此处关键词revenge“报复；替……报仇；洗雪”，得知A选项正确。

3.单选题

Youdidn’tputonmoreclothes;otherwiseyou______cold.

问题1选项

A.wouldn’thavecaught

B.wouldn’tcatch

C.can’tcatch

D.can’thavecaught

【答案】A

【解析】考查虚拟语气。otherwise表示“否则，要不然”时，其后的句子应用虚拟语气。由Youdidn’tputonmoreclothes可知此处是对过去的虚拟，故空格处用过去完成时。句意：你没有多穿衣服，否则就不会感冒了。因此A选项正确。

1.WhatdidthewomanthinkoftheFrench?

【试题答案】C

【试题解析】题目问女士认为法国人怎么样？录音开头，男士对女士说他吃过最糟糕的食物是在法国，女士听后表示惊讶，因为她认为法国人都是很好的厨师。C选项“法国人都很擅长烹饪食物”是对录音原文的同义转述，因此正确。A选项“他们对自家的烹饪感到自豪”；B选项“他们对食物很讲究”和D选项“他们喜欢培根和鸡蛋”在录音中均没有信息提及，因此可排除。

2.WhodidthemantravelwithonhisfirsttriptoSwitzerland?

【试题答案】B

【试题解析】题目问男士第一次去瑞士的时候是和谁一起去的？录音中提及男士第一次去法国是跟随他父母的朋友一起去的。因此B选项“他父母的朋友”正确。A选项“他的父母”和C选项“他的明友”均是利用录音中个别字词断章取义；D选项“他的同学”是利用录音中的whenIwasatschool设置的干扰项，也可排除。

3.WhatdoesthemansayaboutthebreakfastatthelittleFrenchcafe?

【试题答案】A

【试题解析】题目问关于法国小咖啡馆的早餐，男士说了些什么？男士描述了那家法国小咖啡馆如何烹饪培根和鸡蛋后，女士问男士到底有没有吃上这道菜，男士马上说没有人愿意吃。因此A选项“没有人吃它”正确。B选项“它煮得有点久”在录音中并没有提及；C选项“用餐时没有配上茶水”只是利用录音中的teabags作干扰，录音中并没有提及是否配有茶水，因此可排除；D选项“它是真正的英式早餐”，在录音中确实有出现，但这是女士的观点并不是男士提出来的，不符合题意，因此也可排除。

4.WhatdidthemanthinkofhisholidayinFrance?

【试题答案】B

【试题解析】题目问男士认为他在法国的假期怎么样？在录音的最后，男士感叹道：“真是个美好的假期啊！”但是根据前面录音男士对那次法国之旅的一系列描述来看，那个假期给他留下的印象并不是很好。由此可知，他最后说的那句实际上是反话。因此，B选项“它相当令人失望”正确。A选项“它实在令人兴奋”；C选项“它是一个冒险的经历”和D选项“它真的很特别”在录音中均没有信息提及，因此排除。

5.单选题

【答案】第1题:B

第2题:C

第3题:C

第4题:A

第5题:D

【解析】1.细节理解题。根据文意，主要是以荷兰人为例表达了公民对肖像画像的偏爱。选项B符合题意。

2.细节理解题。根据文章第二段，“TheearliestAmericanfolkartportraitscome,notsurprisingly,fromNewEngland—especiallyConnecticutandMassachusetts”第一句就提到最早画像是来自新英格兰地区，选项C符合题意。

3.考查代词。前一句提到了最早的民间艺术肖像来自新英格兰地区，所以后文的this指代这个地区，选项C符合题意。

4.词义理解题。根据文意，人们对肖像的需求越来越多，最终可以被相机所满足，所以开启了摄像时代的到来，选项A符合题意。细节理解题。根据文章第二段,“andwithinagenerationthenewinventionputanendtothepopularityofpaintedportraits.”不到一代人，摄影技术就结束了绘画肖像的流行。所以是照相机的发明终结了肖像艺术的流行，选项D符合题意。

【答案】第1题:B

第2题:C

第3题:A

第4题:A

第5题:A

【解析】第1题:1.根据文章第一段第三句"Equallyaxiomatic,...,especiallywhenaccompaniedbyagrowthinpopulation."同样不言自明的是,对日益减少的自然资源施加越来越大的压力必然导致繁荣的衰落,特别是在伴随人口增长的情况下。选项B符合原文。

2.根据原文二三段的内容可知,作者在第二段提出问题：富裕国家的增长是否导致了第三世界国家的贫困,而不是进步？如果不是这样的话,那么又怎么解释这些国家为什么在致力于增长的一个世纪之后,今天仍处于绝望而不可自拔的境地呢？作者在第三段给出了答案,这种增长并没有给这些国家的人们带来好处,而是让外国投资者及少数本地合作者获益。选项C符合原文。

3.根据第三段的内容可知：经济增长对第三世界国家的人们并无好处,因为他们的农产品是为了出口,矿产和其他资源被剥夺,而他们却要背负沉重的外债,这只会让国外投资者和少数本地人获益。所以选项A符合原文。

4.根据第五段的一二句"So,doweneedgrowthforprosperity?Onlytheadoptionofzerogrowthcanprovidetheanswer."我们需要增长来实现繁荣吗?采用零增长也可以保持社会经济的繁荣。选项A符合原文。

5.结合文章内容可知,作者对增长持否定的态度,因为增长给第三世界国家以及环境带来了种种危害,所以本题选A。

【答案】第1题:A

第2题:D

第3题:D

第4题:B

第5题:A

【解析】1.【试题答案】A

【试题解析】事实细节题。根据第一段最后一句MesseandCallahan-Levydesignedexperimentstotestseveralpopularexplanationsofwhywomentendtogetlessinpaysituations（Messe和Callahan-Levy设计了一些实验，以检验为什么女性的薪酬往往较低的几种流行学说），可知实验是为了验证女性工资普遍较低的相关话题，A选项“与男性相比，女性员工的工资普遍较低”正确。B选项“一些女性不愿意进入传统上由男性主导的职业”，C选项“一些女性员工在与男性主管打交道时表现出焦虑”和D选项“在试图进入职场时，女性经常遭受偏见”：文中没有提到，属于无中生有。因此A选项正确。

2.【试题答案】D

【试题解析】推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句Pastexperimentshadshownthat…Followinguponthisfinding,MesseandCallahan-Levydesignedexperimentstotestseveralpopularexplanationsofwhywomentendtogetlessinpaysituations.（过去的实验表明……在这一发现的基础上，Messe和Callahan-Levy设计了一些实验，以检验为什么女性的薪酬往往较低的几种流行学说），结合第三段第一句asinearlierexperiments…Theyalsofoundthat…（与之前的实验一样……他们还发现……），可知Messe和Callahan-Levy的实验是为了解释之前实验现象的原因，结果与之前的实验结果如出一辙，并且有进一步的发现，可以为先前的实验提供进一步的解释，D选项“有助于解释在之前实验中发现的现象”正确。A选项“表明有必要抛弃在之前实验中使用的方法”：文中没有提到早期实验的方法以及对此的看法，属于无中生有。B选项“倾向于削弱之前实验设计所依据的假设”：其结果印证了之前的假设，属于反向干扰。C选项“表明早期实验揭示的问题可能比以前认为的更广泛”：文中没有提到在早期实验之前的观点，属于无中生有。因此D选项正确。

3.【试题答案】D

【试题解析】推理判断题。A选项“做同样的工作，男性付给自己的报酬往往比别人的多”：文中没有对比男性给自己的和给其他人的金钱差异，属于无中生有。B选项“做同样的工作，女性往往付给男性的钱比给其他女性的多”：根据第三段第一二句thewomenpaidthemselveslessthanthemenpaidthemselves…womenpaidthemselveslessthantheypaidotherwomenandlessthanthemenpaidthewomen.（女性给自己的报酬低于男性给自己的报酬……女性给自己的报酬低于其他女性，也低于男性给女性的报酬），文中没有对比女性给其他女性和男性的报酬，属于无中生有。C选项“做同样的工作，男性付给女性的钱往往比给其他男性的少”：文中没有提到，属于无中生有。D选项“以上都不是”：A、B、C选项都不正确，因此D选项正确。

4.【试题答案】B

【试题解析】推理判断题。根据第三段第二句thewomenpaidthemselves…lessthanthemenpaidthewomen（女性付给自己的钱比男性付给女性的少），可知男性付给女性的报酬比女性给自己的报酬高，B选项“男性愿意支付给女性的薪水要高于女性愿意支付给自己的薪水”正确。A选项“与男性相比，女性一般不太关心工作的经济报酬”：根据最后一段women'sattachmentofacomparativelylowmonetaryvaluetotheirwork（女性对其工作相对较低的金钱价值依恋），可知女性没有男性那么渴望较高的报酬，但不代表女性不关心自己得到的报酬是多少，属于推理过度。C选项“工作报酬一般应与工作质量直接相关”和D选项“女性评判自己的工作比男性的工作更重要”：文中没有提到，属于无中生有。因此B选项正确。

5.【试题答案】A

【试题解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段women'sattachmentofacomparativelylowmonetaryvaluetotheirworkcannotbebasedentirelyontheirjudgmentoftheirownability（女性对其工作相对较低的金钱价值依恋，不能完全基于她们对自己能力的判断），可知女性不那么追求高报酬，并不是因为能力低，A选项“用收入多少来衡量女性的能力并不总是可靠的”正确。B选项“妇女宁愿重视牺牲，也不愿要求对她们工作的回报”和D选项“女性通常对她们应该从工作中获得多少钱漠不关心”：虽然女性没有要求那么高的报酬，但不至于对钱漠不关心，愿意做出巨大的牺牲，属于推理过度。C选项“女性倾向于通过自我价值而不是金钱价值来评估自己的工作能力”：文中没有提到，属于无中生有。因此A选项正确。
