（英国、法国、意大利、西班牙和德国）居民的文化态度的民意调查。47题详解】根据空前的“Inaddition,thepollrequiredintervieweestoindicateinaquestionnairethetypeofeducationtheyconsideredmostappropriateforthemodernworld,thebestchannelsofknowledgeandartstheymostvalued.”可知，此外，调查要求受访者在问卷中指出他们认为最适合现代世界的教育类型、他们最重视的知识和艺术的最佳渠道，此处承接上文，讲的还是受访者被要求回答的问题，故C项（受访者还被问及，从文化角度看，他们认为哪个欧洲国家最具吸引力）符合语境。48题详解】本空前说对于法国人和意大利人来说，文学是最好的选择，空后又说法国人、意大利人和德国人把历史排在第二位，但英国人对历史的重视程度很低，此处应该介绍其他学科的情况，故A项（相比之下，数学被英国人优先考虑，经济学/政治学被德国人优先考虑）符合语境。49题详解】根据本空前的“Itseemsthatmembersofeachcountryinthesurveyhaveacommondefinitionofculturebutthatdefinitionvariesfromcountrytocountry.”可知，调查中每个国家的人似乎对文化都有一个共同的定义，但这个定义因国家而异，此处承接上文，讲的是这种文化差异带来的影响，故 F项（这些差异往往支持我们对彼此的国家刻板印象）符合语境。50题详解】根据空后的“TheFrenchalsoplacedItalyfirst.”可知，法国也把意大利排在第一位，此处应该提到一种对意大利更感兴趣的情况，故 D项（西班牙受访者对意大利的兴趣高于法国）符合语境。【点睛】在六选四的解题过程中，一定要注意选项和上下文中出现的表示转折、并列或递进关系的词语，这些关联词往往是重要线索，例如本篇第 4题，根据空后的“TheFrenchalsoplacedItalyfirst.”可知，法国也把意大利排在第一位，“also”一词表明此处应该提到一种与后面并列的情况，即：对意大利更感兴趣，故 D项（西班牙受访者对意大利的兴趣高于法国）符合语境。IV.SummaryWriting（10%）51.Directions：Readthefollowingpassage.Summarize,themainideaandthemainpoint（s）ofthepassageinnomorethan60words.Useyourownwordsasfaraspossible.Thebabyelephant,Sheila,wasmovedoutofBelfastZoobecauseoffearsthatshemightbehitbybombers（轰炸机

）of1941”可知，是因为担心希拉在贝尔法斯特闪电战中被炸死，它才被转移出来的，再根据第三段中的“ButSheilawaswalkeddowntheroadbyzoo-keeperstoanearbyhousewhereawomangavehersanctuary（庇护）inherbackyard”可知，希拉被动物管理员带到附近的一所房子里，在那里一个女人在她的后院给了她庇护，概括为：Itwasprotectedbyawarm-heartedladyfromthebombingduringtheBelfastBlitz.（贝尔法斯特闪电战期间，一位热心的女士保护它免受轰炸）；根据最后一段中的“Shediedofaskindiseasein1966.”可知，1966年，希拉死于皮肤病，要点为：Nowithasdied.（现在它已经死了）；根据第四段到最后一段内容，特别是第四段中的“Asthezoocelebratesits75thbirthday,thebosseshavedecidedtotrytoidentifythewomanMarkChallisisthemanagerofBelfastZoo.”可知，在动物园成立75周年之际，老板们决定努力确认贝尔法斯特闪电战期间给希拉提供庇护的那位女士的身份，再根据倒数第二段中的“andwecanfillinsomedetailonthisstory.”可知，找到她是为了补充大象希拉的故事的一些细节，概括为：Butthezoowhereitwasoncekept,onits75thbirthday,wantedtofindtheladyandcomplete
