参考答案

1.C解析：第1个小标题HistoryofWal-Mart部分的第3段第3句：Thecompanyhascontinuedtogrowrapidlyafterhisdeathin1992andnowoperatesfourretaildivisions—Wal-MartSupercenters，Wal-Martdiscountstores，NeighborhoodMarketstoresandSam'sClubwarehouses．原文讲到Wal-Mart在SamWalton死后继续飞速发展，但是并未提及他的某个儿子成为其接班人，故答案为NG。

2.B

3.healthdevelopmentsecuritycapacityinformationandknowledgepartnershipandperformancehealthdevelopment,security,capacity,informationandknowledge,partnership,andperformance解析：答案在文章第十段“DrChantoldtheAssemblythatasDirector-GeneralshewouldfocusonsixkeyissuesforWHO:healthdevelopment,security,capacity,informationandknowledge,partnership,andperformance.”题干与原文一致。

4.A解析：根据题干信息词passsuperstitions定位到第一段最后两句，即：迷信之所以可以一代代地传承下来，答案就在于幸运的力量(thepowerofluck)，故本题选A。

5.powerfulandinfluentialpeoplepowerfulandinfluentialpeople解析：结合全文可以理解。

6.A解析：由题干中的Hedonicadaptation定位到第2段第2、3句Wetendtoadapt...endedupnohappierthannonwinners．第2句先指出一种现象，即人们会很快回到他们原先的快乐状态。第3句明确指出这种现象就是“Hedonicadaptation”，同时还举了一个例子来说明这种现象。题干相当于对这两句进行的总结归纳，与原文表述一致。另外adapt是adaptation的动词形式，可推出第2句是对Hedonicadaptation的解释。

7.D解析：该段首句暗示有些子女把自己的意见强加给日益年迈的父母，第2句提到的babyboomers是前一句的例证，可见本题应选D。题干的关键词只在该段提及，而选项A、B和C的内容均不能在该段找到依据；

8.A解析：文章第一段中提到当时的工业正在为战后生产进行重组，急需合格的技术人员，尤其是电子领域的。

9.B解析：题干对应的是该段首句：Afterajobloss…，接下来第二句说明失业后应该怎么做，即Staycalmandres
