36、Theword"slump"inthefirstparagraphmaybereplacedby.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：主要考查词义，slump意思是“消沉、衰退、（物价）暴跌”，四个选项

中slouch意为“懒散"，decline意思是“下降，衰落,消沉"，increase意思是“上涨,

增加”,与slump意思相反,stamp是指“邮票,跺（脚）”，可以看出decline为最接

近的。

37、Accordingtothispassage,MotorolaInc..

标准答案：B

知识点解析：从第一段第四行"istryingtobecomeaneutralproviderofmobile

technologytorivals"，以及最后一段第一句"Burgesssaidthenewbusinesswillnot

conflictwithMotorola'sownmobilephonebusiness.”可以看出选项B的意思在文中

全有体现。第一段开头说"Motorola,theworld'ssecond-largestmobilephonemaker”

所以可见A是错误的。从第一段倒数第四行"butthisisthefirsttimethecompany

willofferitsentirelineofchipsaswellasadetailedblueprint.“可以看出C也是不确

切的。至于D,文章中没有提到有关工厂的事情。

38、Analystsdon'tthinkthat.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：第一段最后一句"Analystssaidtheylikedthenewstrategybutwere

cautiousaboutwhetherMotorola'smobilephonecompetitorswouldwanttobuythe

technologyfromarival.”是该题的依据。原文的意思是“分析家说他们喜欢这一策

略，但是对于竞争者是否会愿意从竞争对手手中购买技术这一问题持谨慎态度”。

可见C是恰当之选。

39、ThetechnologysuppliedbyMotorolaisbasedon.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：根据第二段第二句话“Motorolasaiditwillbeginofferingthetechnology

basedonthenext-generationGPRS（GlobalPacketRadioService）standard.”可以很容

易看出选择D。

40、WhichofthefollowingstatementsisNOTtrue?

标准答案：A

知识点解析：根据第二段最后一句"GPRSoffersfasteraccesstodatathrough"always

on5'networkconnectionsiandcustomersarechargedonlyfbrtheinformationthey

retrieve,ratherthanthelengthofdownload.”可见顾客的付费应该是少了而不是多

了。从第一段第二句开头“Theinventorofthecellphone”可以看到B是正确的。从

第一段倒数第五行"Motorolahaspreviouslysuppliedmobilephonemanufacturerswith

acoupleofitschips”可以看出C也是正确的。依据第二段开头“Thecompany,long

knowntoritstop-notchengineeringculture”可以看出D也是正确的。

41、Variedjobs,inwriter'sopinion,will.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：从第一段倒数第二个句子可知正确答案为D项。

42、Accordingtothepassage,freedomcannotbeeasilygivensince.

知识点解析♦：根据第二段的第三个句子可知本题的答案为D项。

43、Degreeoftheworker'scontributionisgreaterwhen.

知识点解析：根据第三段第三、四句可知本题的正确答案为B项。

44、Workerswantmoremoneyandshorterworkinghoursto.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：根据最后一段可知正确答案为A项。

45Accordingtothepassage,thestatementthatbestdescribesthewriter'sattitudeis

标准答案：C

知识点解析：本色属于推断题。第一段指出在于工作的variely,第二段专家认为

是freedom,第三段提出有人考虑contribution及moremoneyandshorterworkhours

等，但是实际上这几种都没法提高生产力。

46、TherearefeaturesofWesternculturewhicharepresentinWestAfrica.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：题目问：西方文化的特点出现在西非，导致了什么现象?文章开头

“Theunfamiliarlieshiddeneverywhere»andthepresenceofWesterncultureseems

merelytoemphasizethisuntamiliarily.”通过这句话可知，人们对非洲的了解仍然很

少，不熟悉的东西无处不在，而西方文化似乎就是强调这种神秘性。据此判断，

应选择B。

47、AlotofoldAfricanreligionhastodowith.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：题目问：许多非洲宗教都与什么有关?第一段第七句"Alargepartofall

oldAfricanreligionsisdevotedtosoothingtheunknownandtheunseen-evilSpirits

whichliveinaparticulartreeoraparticularrock,athousandvarietiesofghostsand

witches,theever-presentspiritsofdeadancestorsorrelatives.”通过这句话可知，大

部分非洲宗教都深信这种看不见摸不着的灵魂，据此判断，应选择D。

48、Theauthorwaskeptawakeby.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：题目问：作者因为什么睡不着?第一段“Ihavemyselfbeenkeptawake

atnightinCalabarbyafriendfromLagos…”通过这句话可知，因为一位朋友的缘故

我彻夜未眠。据此判断，应选择B。

知识点解析:题目问:Mangrove是什么意思?"Oneitherhandstretchedthesilver-

whiteswampsofmangrove,seeming,withtheirawkwardexposedroots»tobe

50、TheauthorquotesthesixlinesfromJohnKeats'poemtocallattentionto.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：作者从约翰・济慈的诗歌当中引用这六行，以引起人们对济慈的历史

错误的注意。作者在第一段末尾说，很糟糕，济慈优美的诗行出了差错，提到了勇

敢无畏的科尔特斯而没有提到同样勇敢无畏的巴尔博厄——一位很有勇气且有毅力

的英雄。

51、ThePacificOcean.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：太平洋是世界上最大的海洋。作者在第一段说，欧洲人发现一大片水

域，覆盖地球的40%面积，这个海洋后来被费迪南•麦哲伦称为太平洋，因为它似

乎很宁静。凭我们的地理知识也能选准答案A。

52^Balboawas.

标准答案：

知识之解析C：巴尔博厄被斩首。第二段开头说，对于不朽的巴尔博厄来说非常糟糕

的是，他那个时代的通讯工具既缓慢又不可靠。要是通讯工具更好的话，他就不可

能因缓慢地把名望传到西班牙、缓慢地把大量的新知识带到文明世界而被斩首。

53、ThefeelingdescribedbyKeatsmaybestbedescribedasoneof.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：济慈描述的情感最好可以说成是敬畏。第一段开头说，约翰・济慈用

那些深受喜爱的诗行承认世界上最伟大的地理学事件，由此可以判断，济慈的情感

是敬畏。
