2、In1993,womenheld46percentofthepayingjobsintheUnitedStates.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：C

知识点解析：本题与比例有关，为细节题。在原文第一段最后一句找到46%的出

处，为96million工人中的女性比例，并非整个美国130mmion工人中的比例,从

原文中无法得出所有美国工人中的性别比例。

3、Theapplicationofadvancedautomatedandcomputerizedmachinerywillresultin

lossofsomeblue-collarjobs.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：第二段提到了蓝领工作和白领工作的变化，接着在第三段最后一句指

出，Someofiheirjobswillbetakenoverbyadvancedauiomaiedandcompuierized

machinery,这里的theirjobs根据上下文可知是蓝领工作。题干与原文调换了一下

主语和宾语的位置，并改变了语态。

4、DuringWorldWar口，somejobswhichpreviouslyexcludedwomenwereopento

them.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：纵观全文，以时间年代为序，因此要注意题干中的时间表达，以便在

原文中定位。此外，出题顺序一般与原文行文顺序一致。＜£TheRiseofWomenin

theLaborForce小标题下第二段首句以WorldWarII开头，应该集中注意力在此处

查找。根据Asaresult,womenweresuddenlyneededandhiredeventhoughtheyhad

beenpreviouslyexcludedfromsuchjobs.可以判断题干正确。只是题干的句式有了

变化，将jobs变为主语，将women变为介词宾语。

5、Afterthewar,returnedmaleworkerswereresponsiblefbrthetotallossofwomen's

jobs.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：B

知识点解析：根据题干中的afterthewar将查找内容定位在ThePostwarYears小标

题处。根据其后的第一、二和三句可知，manywomen(notall)失去了战时的工作，

题干中的totalloss过于绝对。

6、Fewwomenrealizedtheysufferedinequalityinjobsandeducationinthe1960s.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：B

知识点解析：本题的解题思路与上题相仿，根据题干中的1960s进行时间定位，找

到小标题The1960stothe1990s,其后第一段第二句指出Many

women...aware,题干中的fewwomen与此不符，而题；于中用inequality概括

/paidless以及notpromotedasquickly等现象。

7、Asthechildrengrewup,mostofthemothersenteredthelaborforceagaininthe

190s.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：C

知识点解析：根据1970s在原文中定位，文中提到Manydivorced,separated,or

widowedwomenalsoenteredthelaborforceinthe1970s,但没有提及题干中孩子长

大后，大多数母亲重返工作。因此，在原文中没有确切的内容。

8、ThepassagemainlyillustratestrendsintheUSlaborforceduring1940sand1990s.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：木文主要以时间为序，主要探讨了20世纪40年代到90年代美国职

业发展的趋势。

9、Inthe190s,thehighstandardandcostoflivingcontributedmtheemergenceof

标准答案：thetwo-incomefamilies

知识点解析：根据题干中的1970s在原文中定位查找内容，1970s属于1960s【o

1990s部分。在The1970sweretroubledbyongoinginflation.引导的段落中，查找

到thehighstandardoflivingcombinedwiththehighcostofliving,而原文中的the

husbandandwifetoholdpayingjobs即是下句的Thetwo-incomefamily的说明。根

据题干语法语义的需要，of后面需要填名词（短语），emergence表示“出现”，故填

thetwo-incomefamilies,为复数形式。

10、Tn190s,manymanufacturingindustrieswereincreasinglyconfrontedwith

标准答案：competitionfromforeigncountries

知识点解析：根据题干中的1980s在原文中定位查找内容，1980s属于1960sio

1990s部分。-{£The1980sbroughtmoredances.引导的段落中，第三句Many

manufacturingindustries...与题干话题相同，suffered...increased与

increasinglyconfrontedwith为主动语态与被动语态转换。

11、Comparedwiththeworkersbefore1940s,workersinthe1990searnmore,work

shorterhours,andaregiven.

标准答案：moreextrabenefits

知识点解析：答案在原文最后一句，将20世纪90年代的工人待遇和40年代之前

做比较。

35、[Bl]

标准答案：associate

知识点解析：本题旨在考查考生的单词量。从上下文也可猜出，该处意为“把…

和…联系在一起“，associate与wi【h搭配，正合此意。

36、[B2]

标准答案：fanciful

知识点解析：该词后缀-ful可清楚地听出来，fancy加上仙要去掉y变成i,故成

fancifuL意为“设计新颖奇特的”.

37、[B3]

标准答案：symbolic

知识点解析：本文主要考查考生对前、后缀的掌握。symbolic来自symbol,考查

还要知道它的动词形式：symbolize（象征）。

38、[B4]

标准答案：imaginative

知识点解析：本文第一句就告诉我们：地图如艺术一样，是让我们认识事实的谎言

的。该句同样将地图与艺术作了比较，认为地图也需要富有想象力的解读。

imaginalive来自动词imagine。考生还须知道imaginary(想象中的，虚构的)，

imaginable(可想像的)。

39、[B5]

标准答案：identical

知识点解析：既然上文说到地图与艺术一样需要想像力，那么地图与事实就不可能

是一样的。猜到本句意思后，听出idemical就不难了。

40、[B6]

标准答案：overlooked

知识点解析：首先考生可进行猜测：地图与事实不是一模一样的，使用起来不是很

明显(obvious),故而常被忽视(overlooked)。“over”表示“过度”。考生须注意此处要

写动词的过去分词形式。

41、[B7]

标准答案：vital

知识点解析：看到后面的fact,考生很容易想到此处应是一个形容词，而常与fact

搭配的不外乎important,vital等词，就容易填出了。

42、[B8]

标准答案：correspondence

知识点解析：由于使用者期望事实与地图相一致，故而出现了误谈地图。根据上下

文，考生可猜出此空的意思。correspondwith意为“与…一致：通信”。而此处为名

词，故为correspondence。

43、[B9]

标准答案：Amap,likeapainting,isjustonespecialversionofreality

知识点解析：要听出此句，一则需要考生理解上下文并能进行猜测，二则需要考生

有一定的词汇量。specialversionofreality意为“现实的一种特殊版本该句可写

为：Likeapainting,amapisaspecialkindofformshowingrealityo

44、[BIO]

标准答案：Inthesameway,thetechniquesusedtocreatemapswillgreatlyinfluence

ihefinalrepresentation

知识点解析：前文讲painting,该句讲m叩。该句可写为:Similarly,thetechniques

whichareusedtocreatemapswillgreatlyaffectthefinalrepresentation

45、［Bill

标准答案：Iftheentiremap-makingprocessoperatesatitsfullpotential,

communicationtakesplacebetweenthemapmakerandtheuser

知识点解析：上句提到"map-reader要意识到mapmaker的无形的手”，而下文乂讲

到"map-reader"与"mapmaker"之间如何实现交流(communication)。考生在听该句

时，应仔细推敲上下文，这样，要听懂该句就较易了。该句可写为：Ifihemap­

makingprocessoperatesfully,communicationtakesplacebetweenthemapmakerand

theuser。

知识点解析：qualification意为“资格”；requinqment“需求”合题意，意为：”满足对

住房的急需

48、[S3]

知识点解析：空后有floods和earthquakes两词，再根据题后选项，易找到disaslers

和phenomena两词，相比较而言，针对洪水和地震，disasters更符题意.

49、[S4]

标准答案：C

知识点解析：determineon“决定”；而dependon"取决于...”，原文说“纸房子的极

大成功很大程度上……”，按此意选depend是最合适的。

50、[S5]

知识点解析：根据上下文，前面一直在讲这种纸型房屋的结构原理，所以这里

“……的革命正在进行“，这里应填与房屋相关的词汇，选项里只有sheller符合题

.什•

思O

51、[S6]

标准答案：J

知识点解析：前有定冠词the,这里应填名词，再根据文意，容易联想到idea和

concept两词，而相对于developed而言，concept更合适，理论才能与发展相联

系。

52、[S7]

标准答案：G

知识点解析：“一种什么样的房屋设计适合farmworkers,“这里有一定难度，因为

56、Whenwehavedonesomethingwrong,weshould.

A、lookhonestandthinkoverthefaultcarefully

B、escapefrombeingdisturbed

C、admitthefaultandexpresstheregret

D^forgiveourselves

标准答案：C

知识点解析：从本文第一段最后一句我们知道，哪怕是犯了一个小错，我们都会感

到不安，一直到认错道歉情绪才会正常。由此我们可以知道答案是C；A、看上去

很诚实，认真考虑过错；B、逃避不安；D、原谅自己，这三个选项明显与原文不

符。

57、Whatwillhappenifwehavedonesomethingwrong?

A、Ourlogicofthinkingwillbedisturbed.

B、Weshallloseafriend.

C^Weshallapologizeatonce.

D、Ourmoralbalancewillbedisturbed.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：同上一句，我们知道我们做了错事会感到不安，所以很明显答案是

D；A、我们的逻辑思维会乱，这与原文不符。我们情绪会感到不安，但逻辑思维

不一定会乱；B、我们会失去一位朋友，这也不一定，如果我们诚心道歉，不仅不

会失去朋友，而且这种关系会更牢固；C、我们将立即道歉，这与原文也不符。因

为我们应该马上道歉，但不一定所有的人都会道歉，这不是必然的。

B、Stomachtrouble.

C、Disturbanceofconscience.

D、Someunknownphysicalweakness

标准答案：C

知识点解析：我们看一看这个病人的情况：他头痛，失眠，肚子痛，但找不到任何

身体上的原因，医生叫他把困挠他的事情讲出来。原来他作为父亲遗嘱的执行人一

直在欺骗居住在国外的遗产继承人的兄弟，所以他感到良心不安，于是医生就让他

给他兄弟写一封信请求他原谅，同时附上一张支票作为恢复良好关系的第一步，做

完这一切后病人就如获重释，感到自己病治好了，由此我们清楚地知道病人的病因

足良心不安；A、B、D说的都是身体的不适和原因，与原文不符。

B、Hehadcheatedhisbrotheroutofhisinheritance.

60Thepatientwascuredby.

A、writingaletter

B、crossingacheque

C^mailingaletter

D、askinghisbrothertoforgivehim.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：细节同第三题，但治愈他的病的是他认错、道歉，即清求他兄弟原谅

他，而写信，发信，划支票都是具体过程，不是真止的原因。
