kinisoftenregardedassociallypreferable,manyalsorequirethatawomanhavea"wheat-color"complexionorthatamanbe"tall,fairandhandsome".答案相关句说"在印度，人们喜好浅亮肤色"，但并没有说"喜欢美丽的容貌"，因此问题句中有部分信息没有在文章中出现。17、5.Theword"one"in"Apersonwhohasonecangetwhathewants"referstogoodattraction.A.RightB.WrongC.Notmentioned6.Advertisementsareonlyreadbyasmallgroupofpeopleofhighsocialstatus.A.RightB.WrongC.Notmentioned7.InIndiathereisahighdivorcerate.A.RightB.WrongC.Notmentioned标准答案：B,B,C解析：5.B.首先找到"Apersonwhohasonecangetwhathewants"所在的上下文：Becauseofhighunemploymentandagenerallypoorstandardoflivinghere,oneofthebestattractionsamarriageadvertisementcanofferisapermittoliveabroad,especiallyinCanadaortheUnitedStates.Apersonwhohasonecangetwhathewants.划线句说"有了一个…的人能得到她想要的"，结合前句话的内容，one应该指前句中的permittoliveabroad(在国外居住地许可证)。6.B.利用问题句中含有修饰结构的短语peopleofhighsocialstatus作为答案线索，在第5段中找到答案相关句：Advertisementsareplacedandeagerlyreadbyawiderangeofpeopleintheupperclasses(与peopleofhighsocialstatus呼应),mostlyincities.答案相关句说"上层社会中很多人都会急切地读这些广告"，因此问题句的内容与答案相关句的内容不一致。7.C.文章中没有提到印度的离婚率第三部分：概括大意与完成句子(每题1分，共8分)阅读下面这篇短文，短文后有2项测试任务：(1)1---4题要求从所给的6个选项中为第2--5段每段选择1个正确的小标题;(2)第5--8题要求从所给的6个选项中选择4个正确的选项，分别完成每个句子。请将答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上。IsThereaWaytoKeeptheBritain′sEconomyGrowing?1Intoday′sknowledgeeconomy,nationssurviveonthethingstheydobest.JapanesedesignelectronicswhileGermensexportengineeringtechniques.TheFrenchserve，thebestfoodandAmericansmakecomputers.2Britainspecializesinthegiftoftalking.Thenationdoesn′tmanufacturemuchofanything.Butithaslawyers，stylistsandbusinessconsultantswhoearntheirlivingfromtalktalkandmoretalk.TheWorldFoundationthinktanksaystheUK′sfouriconicjobstodayarenotscientists，engineers，teachersandnurses.Instead，they′rehairdressers，celebrities，managementconsultantsandmanagers.ButcanallthistalkingkeeptheBritisheconomygoing?TheBritishgovernmentthinksitcan.3Althoughthecountry′stradedeficitwasmorethan￡60billionin，UK′slargestinthepostwarperiod，officialssaythecountryhasnothingtoworryabout.Infact，Britaindoeshaveaworld-classpharmaceuticalindustry?anditstillmakesasmallsumfromsellingarmsabroad.Italsotradesservices-accountancy，insurance，bankingandadvertising.ThegovernmentbelievesBritainisonthecuttingedgeoftheknowledgeeconomy.Afterall，mecountryofShakespeareandWordsworthhasaliterarytraditionofwhichtobeproud.Rock'n'rollisanEnglishlanguagemedium，andtherearebillionstobemadebytheircutting-edgebands.Inotherwords，thecreativeeconomyhasplentyofstrengthtocarrytheBritisheconomy.4However,creativeindustriesaccountforonlyabout4percentofUK′sexportsofgoodsandservices.Theindustriesarefindingithardtomakeaprofit，accordingtoareportoftheNationalEndowmentforScience，TechnologyandtheArtsThereportshowsonly38percentofBritishcompanieswereengagedin"innovationactivities"，3percentagepointsbelowtheEUaverageandwellbelowGermany(61percent)andSweden(47percent).5Infact，itmightbebettertocallBritaina"servant"economy-thereareatleast4millionpeople"inservice".Themajorityofthepopulationareemployedbytherichtocook，clean，andtakecareoftheirchildren.Manygraduatesareevendoingmenialjobsforwhichtheydonotneedadegree.Mostemploymentgrowthhasbeen，andwillcontinuetobe，atthelow-skillendoftheservicesector-inshops，bars，hotels，domesticserviceandinnursingandcarehomes.1.Paragraph2___2.Paragraph3___3.Paragraph4___4.Paragraph5___AGrowthofEconomyB"Servant"EconomyCStrengthoftheCreativeEconomyDWeaknessoftheCreativeEconomyEGiftoftalkingFExportofTalkingMachines标准答案：E,C,D,B解析：1.E.talk这个词也在段落中多次鱿郑?出现了5次，而且几乎在贯穿整个段落出现，因此是段落主题词，因此E或F可能是答案。段首句及段尾句均与E相关，意义一致，因此E是答案。从段落具体内容上看：第二段的第一个句子说"英国的特长是有说话的天赋"。接下来就是具体说明说话天赋在经济中的表现方面。当然，作者最后对这些说话行业能否保持英国经济的运转提出了疑问。可是其主题思想依然是在讲说话天赋。2.C.段尾句是该段主题句。该段说：英国是著名作家Shakespeare和Wordsworth的故乡，她们以及英国的摇滚乐团创造了大量的精神财富，也为英国赚得了大量的钱，显示了创造性经济的力量。由此也可看出C是答案。提示：段落主题词出现的句子可能是段落主题句或直接与段落主题相关。3.D.第四段的第二个句子是段落主题句(权威机构的观点)，该句讲述"创造行业的弱点，很难盈利"，因此D是答案。提示：一般出现在段落开头部分或结尾部分的权威机构/权威人士的观点/发言/研究发现往往直接揭示段落主题。4.B.第四段的第一个句子是主题句：Infact，itmightbebettertocallBritaina"servant"economy-thereareatleast4millionpeople"inservice".该句说"实际上，把英国的经济叫做服务经济更恰当一些一因为至少有四百万人在做服务性工作"。因此选B。19、5.Everycountryhasitsownway.__.6.TheBritishgovernmentdoesn'tseem__.7.Thecreativeindustriesfinditdifficult__.8.Manygraduatesareemployed__.AtofindjobsBtodolow-skilllobsCtofeeditspeopleDtohandledisputesEtomakeaprofitFtoworryabouttheBritisheconomy标准答案：C,F,E,B解析：5.C.该题的答案相关句在第一段：Intoday′sknowledge(知识)economy,nationssurvive(生存，幸存)on(依靠)thethings(事情)theydobest.该句说：在今天的知识经济时代，各个国家生存于自己的强项。因此选tofeeditspeople养活自己的人民。6.TheBritishgovernment(政府)doesn'tseem(似乎)__.6.F.利用问题句中的特征词Britishgovernment作为答案线索，在文章中找到答案相关句：(第二段的最后两句话)Butcanallthistalking(谈论)keeptheBritisheconomygoing?TheBritishgovernmentthinksitcan.可是，所有这么说话能让英国的经济运转吗?英国政府认为是能够的。由此可推断出：英国政府仿佛并不担心英国的经济。因此F是正确。7.E.这个问题直接涉及第4段段落主题句：Theindustriesarefindingithardtomakeaprofit，accordingtoareportoftheNationalEndowmentforScience，TechnologyandtheArts.根据国家科学、技术和艺术捐赠委员会的一份报告，这些创造性行业在获得利润上很困难。8.B.利用问题句中涉及修饰结构的细节信息词manygraduates(许多毕业生)作为答案线索，在文章第五段中找到答案相关句:Manygraduatesareevendoingmenial(仆人的)jobsfor(对于)whichtheydonotneedadegree(学位).许多毕业生甚至在做不需要学位的仆人的活。仆人的活是属于低技术的活，因此B是正确的。第四部分：阅读理解(每题3分，共45分)下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题，每道题后面有4个选项。请仔细阅读短文并根据短文回答其后面的问题，从4个选项中选择1个最佳答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上。第1篇ThebestwaytoreduceyourweightYouhearthis："NoWonderyouarefat.Anyoueverdoiseat."Youfeelsad："Iskipmybreakfastandsupper.Iruneverymorningandevening.WhatelsecanIdo?"Basicallyyoucandonothing.Yourgenes，notyourlifehabits，determineyourweightandyourbodyconstantlytriestomaintainit.AlbertStunkardoftheUniversityofPennsylvaniafoundfromexperimentsthat，"80percentoftheChildrenoftwoobeseparentsbecomeobese，ascomparedwithnomorethan14percentoftheoffspringoftwoparentsofnormalweight."Howcanobesepeoplebecomenormaloreventhinthroughdieting?Well，dietingcanbeeffective.butthehealthcostsaretremendous.JulesHirsch，aresearchphysicianatRockefellerUniversity,didastudyofeightfatpeople.Theyweregivenaliquidformulaproviding600caloriesaday1.Aftermorethan10weeks，thesubjectslost45kgonaverage.Butafterleavingthehospital，theyallregained.Theresultsweresurprising：bymetabolicmeasurement，fatpeoplewholostlargeamountsofweightseemedliketheywerestarving.Theyhadpsychiatricproblems.Theydreamedoffoodorbreakingtheirdiet2.Theywereanxiousanddepressed;someweresuicidal.Theyhidfoodintheirrooms.Researcherswarnthatitispossiblethatweightreductiondoesn'tresultinnormalweight，butinanabnormalstateresemblingthatofstarvednon-obesepeople.Thinpeople，however,sufferfromtheopposite：Theyhavetomakeagreatefforttogainweight.EthanSims，oftheUniversityofVermont，gotprisonerstovolunteertogainweight.Infourtosixmonths，theyateasmuchastheycould.Theysucceededinincreasingtheirweightby20to25percent.Butmonthsafterthestudyended，theywerebacktonormalweightandstayedthere.Thisdidnotmeanthatpeoplearecompletelywithouthopeincontrollingtheirweight.Itmeansthatthosewhotendtobefatwillhavetoconstantlybattletheirgeneticinheritanceiftheywanttosignificantlylowertheirweight.Thefindingsalsoprovideevidenceforsomethingscientiststhoughtwastrue-eachpersonhasacomfortableweightrange3.Therangemightbeasmuchas9kg.Someonemightweigh60-69kgwithouttoomucheffortButgoingaboveofbelowthenaturalweightrangeisdifficult.Thebodyresistsbyfeelinghungryorfullandchangingthemetabolismtopushtheweightbacktotherangeitseeks.词汇：obeseadj.肥胖的metabolicadj.新陈代谢的psychiatricadj.精神病的注释：1.Theyweregivenaliquidformulaproviding600caloriesaday.她们被给予一种流食配方，每天提供600热卡。2.Theydreamedoffoodorbreakingtheirdiet.她们梦中吃食品，或是不是只吃规定的食品。3.Thefindingsalsoprovideevidenceforsomethingscientiststhoughtwastrue-eachpersonhasacomfortableweightrange.结论还证实了科学家认为是正确的一点，即每个人的体重有一个适当的幅度。练习：1.Whatdeterminesyourweight?A)Yourworkingmanner.B)Youreatinghabit.C)Yourlifestyle.D)Yourgenes.2.WhatdidJulesHirschdoinhisstudy?A)Helettheeightfatpeopleskipsupper.B)Helettheeightfatpeopleskipbreakfast.C)Helettheeightfatpeopleruneverymornin8andevening.D)Hegavetheeightfatpeoplealiquidformulaproviding600caloriesaday.3.Whathappenedtotheeightfatpeopleaftertheyleftthehospital?A)Theywentmad.B)Theykilledthemselves.C)Theywerebacktonormalweight.D)Theyattemptedsuicide4.WhatdidEthanSimsmakehissubjectsdo?A)Battletheirgeneticinheritance.B)Increasetheirweight.C)Stayathome.D)Lowertheirweight.5.Whatdidscientiststhinkwastrue?A)Eachpersonhasafixedweightrange.B)Eachpersonhasaweightrangeof9kg.C)Eachpersonwantstocontrolhisweight.D)Eachpersonwantstoeattohisheart'scontent.标准答案：D,D,C,B,A解析：1.D.细节题。利用被选项中的细节信息结构(A：workingmanner;B:eatinghabit;C:lifestyle;D:genes)共同作为答案线索，在文章中查找答案相关句：Youhearthis："NoWonderyouarefat.Anyoueverdoiseat(选项B中eating的家族词汇)."Youfeelsad："Iskipmybreakfastandsupper.Iruneverymorningandevening.WhatelsecanIdo?"Basicallyyoucandonothing.Yourgenes(基因)，notyourlifehabits(习惯)，determineyourweight(问题句中的核心结构)andyourbodyconstantly(不断地，经常地)triestomaintain(保持，维修，主张)it.答案相关句说：你的基因而不是你的生活习惯决定了你的体重，因此你的身体总是试图保持它。因此D是答案。2.D。细节题。利用问题句中的特征词(JulesHirsch)，被选项中的共有结构(eightfatpeople)及被选相中的一些细节信息词及特征结构(A:supper;B:breakfast;C:everymorningandevening;D:liquidformula,600calories)共同作为答案线索，在文章中查找答案相关句：Howcanobesepeoplebecomenormaloreventhinthroughdieting?Well，dietingcanbeeffective,butthehealthcostsaretremendous.JulesHirsch，aresearch(研究)physician(医生)atRockefellerUniversity,didastudy(研究)ofeightfatpeople.Theyweregiven(被给)aliquidformula(流食配方)providing600caloriesaday1.Aftermorethan(超过)10weeks，thesubjects(研究对象)lost45kgonaverage(平均).Butafterleavingthehospital，theyallregained.Theresultsweresurprising：bymetabolicmeasurement，fatpeoplewholostlargeamountsofweightseemedliketheywerestarving.Theyhadpsychiatricproblems.Theydreamedoffoodorbreakingtheirdiet2.Theywereanxiousanddepressed;someweresuicidal.Theyhidfoodintheirrooms.Researcherswarnthatitispossiblethatweightreductiondoesn'tresultinnormalweight，butinanabnormalstateresemblingthatofstarvednon-obesepeople.答案相关句说"八个肥胖者被给予一种流食配方，每天提供600热卡"，因此D是答案。3.C.细节题。利用问题句中的细节信息结构(eightfatpeople，hospital)及被选项中的细节信息结构(C：normalweight;D:suicide)共同作为答案线索，在文章中查找答案相关句：(第3段)Howcanobesepeoplebecomenormaloreventhinthroughdieting?Well，dietingcanbeeffective.butthehealthcostsaretremendous.(第2题答案相关句)JulesHirsch，aresearchphysicianatRockefellerUniversity,didastudyofeightfatpeople.Theyweregivenaliquidformulaproviding600caloriesaday
