六、单选题（0题）

34.

[A]dimension[B]complexity[C]exercise[D]function

参考答案

l.BB解析：该题所在的是文章的第2段，通读本段可知其使用了偏正

结构进行阐述，因而重点在于后半段，而从"Selectiontestscanbeused

to...alsocanbeusedto..."可以看出这里的主要强调的是选拔测试的作用。

理解本段的论述重点后我们根据关键词Selectiontests对五个选项进行

筛选，可发现B项恰好与之对应，由此可见本题的正确答案为B。

2.在《行为和脑科学》今年发表的一一篇颇受争议的文章里认知科学家

雨果・梅尔西埃和丹・斯比贝指出人类的推理能力其实并不像其表现的那

样差劲。在《行为和脑科学》今年发表的一一篇颇受争议的文章里，认

知科学家雨果.梅尔西埃和丹.斯比贝指出，人类的推理能力其实并不像

其表现的那样差劲。

3.B解析：事实细节题。文章在第三段首句提到了minoritybusiness所面

临的潜在危险，并在第三段第二句以及第四段和第五段的首句进行了论

述。观察选项不难发现，［A］项中的tooslow与原文中的toofast相悖；

［C］项的描述是对尾段首句的错误理解。原文中并没有提到tocontrol的

信息;［D］项内容原文并未提及。只有［B］项是对第四段首句的同义转述：

有些白人企业想通过和少数民族企业合资让自己也能享受更好的待遇，

也就是说白人企业只不过想利用少数民族企业而已。因此，本题答案是

［B］o

4.B解析：第二段后几句提到莫扎特和贝多芬，指出他们的作品虽然创

新，但保存了基本的原则，他们继承了前人的成果。可见，后人也会以

同样方式来创新。

5.A解析：推理判断题。本题问：从本篇课文中可以推理出什么?本文第

3段第2、3句中作者写道："在原始部落中请求和接受传统教育的义务

对人人都有约束力。如果文育这个词可以用到没有文字材料的民族上，

那么现在就没有‘文盲’了，但我们的义务教育成为法律德国是在1642年，

法国是在1806年，英国是在1976年，但在有些‘文明国家’至今仍无义

务教育"。可见，本文暗示有些家庭的孩子现在几乎上不起学。注意：

bindingadj.有约束力的：bebindingonsb.对某人有约束力。

6.C解析：事实细节题。第二段首句指出"高速公路的拥堵，办公室租金

的昂贵，联邦政府空气清洁法案的要求，办公人员的裁减，生活方式的

需要：所有这些因素都导致了远程办公人员的增加"。由此可知越来越多

的人选择远程办公是因为这种工作方式可以解决很多问题，故"解决很

多社会问题“正确。

7.BB解析：小标题是“妈妈就是权威”。标题后的内容指出，那些愿意提

供帮助的人使用的最普遍的理由是他们从小就接受长辈的礼仪教育

(upbringing)o显然，选项应该提到长辈对孩子的礼仪教育。［B］选项讲述

的是一位女士说帮助别人是小时候长辈告诉她应该做的事。这个例子符

合小标题的内容,其中mother,upbringing,taughttoyouwhenyou're

young形成了一个语义链，突出了该段的主旨。

8.B解析：在此段中，作者表达了自己对一些人的”人类翻译能力强于计

算机”论点的不同看法，认为这不足以证明"计算机不能控制人类二

9.D解析：小标题是“借口，借口”。标题之后的内容是记者们确实遇见

过几个不懂礼貌的人，听到了各种不愿意提供帮助的借口，现在又听

到了另一个更新鲜的借口。这就表明下文应该给出不愿意提供帮助的

人所依赖的借口。纵观各备选项，只有［D］选项讲述了一位女士不仅不

提供帮助，而且还为她的行为进行辩解。

10.B解析：事实细节题。文章首段第三、四句指出"在美国较为严肃的

文学传统中一从Hawthorne、Melville和Poe至"Faulkner和Hemingway一

人们发现了隐藏在普通美国人浅薄的死亡态度背后的深刻悲哀。在一个

不愿面对死亡的文化氛围中，通过想象力，伟大的作家们直面死亡的事

实、它的神秘以及它永恒地往返穿梭的地点"。由此可知，在Hawthorne

和Melville的小说中，人们可以看到那种直面死亡现实的态度，故”愿意

接受死亡这个生活中的事实”正确。

各抒己见类议论文。各抒己见类作文的写作特点是通过对不同观点或看

法进行分析，最后得出自己的看法或结论。这篇文章也属于这种手法。

文章首先列出对于发展经济和保护环境问题的两种不同看法。第一段文

章用直人法引入一些人的观点，要大力发展经济以消除贫因。本段的主

题句可拟作：somepeoplethinkthattheurgenttaskistodevelopeconomy

onalargescale,然而用"ontheotherhand"完成段落的过渡，笔锋一转引

入另一些人的观点：我们应把环保放在首位。这可以作为第二段的主题

句Manypeopleinsistthatenvironmentalprotectionshouldbeatoppriority.,

接着文章用罗列法，列出要重视环保的理由，如生态环境已遭破坏，目

前世界污染问题十分严重等。最后，文章用“Inmyopinion"引出自己的

观点和结论；要在保护环境的前提下发展经济，辨证地看待经济发展和

环境保护的问题。Botheconomicdevelopmentandenvironmentprotection
