1、Thebottom-feedingcardsareissuedtopeoplewho.

A^hasalowincome

expectsalowinterestrate

C、hasabadreputationinrepayment

D、isthoughtlesswhenusingcreditcards

标准答案：C「

知识点解析：第2段第1句破折号后的damagedcredit意为“信用受损”，持信用卡

的人因为不能及时还款就会导致信用度下降，即出magedcredit,由此可见，C是

对damagedcredit正确的解释，为本题答案。

2、Whatdoestheauthorthinkaboutthe"multiplecards"practiceofCapOne?

A、Thebankmayhavemorebaddebts.

B、Thebankmaybecomemorepopular.

C、Borrowersmayhavetheircreditlimitsincreased.

D^Borrowersmayfallintoamultiple-penaltytrap.

标准答案：D'

知识点解析：第3段前三句表明C冲One开卡的费用很优惠，但是一旦不能按期还

款，受到的处罚会很重。再看本段最后两句，CapOne向消费达到其信用额度的人

发多张卡，这些人本身信用额度低，但拥有了多张卡后更容易超支了，超支后还款

的能力又不强，这时CapOne就可以对他们罚款，从中赚取费用，由此可确定应选

Do

3、Whatdoconsumersneverexpect,accordingtothepassage?

A、Thehigherratesnowcanaffectbalancesinthepast.

B、Lenderscanfigureoutsomanywaystoextractfees.

CNTheycanborrowfromthebankseasily.

D、Theyhavetopaybothfeesandinterest.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：第5段第1句表明消费者对于第4段亮到的银行的做法是始料未及

的，答案要从第4段寻找。A是第4段最后一句提到的一种收取费用的方法，为本

题答案。本题B干扰性极强，但从第5段第1句中的定语从句看，可知消费者不

是因为借贷者能想出如此多的收费方法而感到震惊，而是因为这些方法居然不算违

法而感到震惊。

4^Theword"deregulate'*(Line3,Para.5)canbestbereplacedby.

A、imposeruleson

B、liftthecontrolon

C、ruleagainst

D、specify

标准答案：B

知识点解析：第5段中除了第2句有deregulate这个词外，第3句有这个词的名词

形式deregulation,第3句的Priortofeederegulation和第4句的Now表明现在的信

用卡利率与过去相比高很多，而最后一句开头的Msoutofcontrol表明现在的信用

卡利率“已经失控”了，由此可见，&PriortofeederegulationH,信用卡利率是由

政府控制的，故推断deregulate意为“解除（规定、控制厂。

5、Accordingtotheauthor,whatCitiandJPMorganChasedidshowedthattheywere

A、reflective

B、irresponsible

C、insincere

D^compromising

标准答案：C

知识点解析：最后一段第3句表明Citi和JPMorganChase所做的都只是摆摆姿

态，并非出自真心诚意，因此，本题应选C。

6、AlltheU.S.stategovernmentsusedtofollowthe"21law"because.

A^itspassagewassupervisedbyReaganpersonally

B、mostcitizensbelievedthatitwasreasonable

C^theycouldn'taffordtotakethefinancialrisk

D、ittookmuchtimeandmoneytogetalawpassed

标准答案：c

知识点露析：第2段第1句中的t。。…to…表明过去美国各州的经济条件太差而不

敢挑战《21岁饮泗法》，换言之，他们纷纷遵从《21岁饮酒法》的原因在于，他

们不想经济陷入危机，因而本题应选C。

7、WhatisMorrisChafetz^attitudetowardsthe"21law”now?

A、Hedemandsthatthelawnotbechanged.

B、Hesupportsloweringthedrinkingage.

C、Heregretsthatfewpeoplesupportthelaw.

D、Heissurprisedbythejudges'ruling.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：第2段第3、4句都是支持降低合法饮酒年龄的人的观点，而该段最

后一句表明MorrisChafetz对以前支持《21岁饮酒法》感到后悔，这样看来，他最

可能认为合法饮酒的年龄应该降低，因此，本题应选B。

8、InCanada,wherethedrinkingageis18,.

A^youngpeoplewanttobegindrinkingatalowerage

B、peopleareincreasinglydoubtfulaboutthe"18law"

C、fewerandfewerpeoplesupportthe"18law"

D、feweryoungpeoplediefromdrunkdriving

标准答案：D

知识点解析：第3段第2句中的similardeclines指的是因饮酒而送命的数量下降

了，D与此内容最相近，故为本题答案。本题稍具干扰性的是B,其中的doubtful

与原文该句中的doublers在词义上有关联，但原文的doublers是对美国的《21岁饮

酒法》产生怀疑，而非对加拿大的饮酒法产生怀疑。

9、JohnMcCardellsuggeststhat.

A、18-year-oldsshouldlearnforalicensebeforetheycandrink

B、adrinkingschoolshouldbeopenedforhighschoolstudents

C、oneshouldgetalicensebeforetheycandrink

D、any18-year-oldsshouldbequalifiedtodrink

标准答案：A

知识点解析：第4段第1句表明JohnMcCardell支持将合法饮酒的年龄调整为18

岁，而第2句表明他认为考取饮酒牌照后，就可合法饮酒，将这两句话的内容结合

起来，可以知道JohnMcCardell支持年满18岁的人在取得饮酒牌照后可以合法饮

酒，由此可见，本题应选A。

10、WhatdidFranklinRooseveltdoduringthe1933depression?

A、Heliftedthetroubleofadepression.

B、Hechangedthealcoholpolicy.

C^Hedecidedtobanalcohol.

D、Hedesiredachangeinalcoholpolicy.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：最后一段最后一句提到FranklinRoosevelt所做的事是为了说明该段

第1句的观点：美国人不是第一次试图改变他们的alcoholpolicy,由此可见，

FranklinRoosevek当政期间也改变过美国的alcoholpolicy,故B的说法正确。A跟

原文最后一句“长得”有点像，但原文中lifted的对象是prohibition（禁酒令）而非

trouble（困难）。

B、shewasn'tphysicallyhealthyenoughtocontinueschooling

C、shestillkeptthinkingaboutkillingherselfwheneveratschool

D、shehasbeentroubledbythememoryoftheincidentveryoften

标准答案：D

知识点解析：事实细节题。根据题干定位第2段第2、3句。这两句之间存在隐含

的因果关系，第2句是因，第3句是果。只有选项D在第2句提到，其他选项均

未提及。

合suicide,此题答案为B。选项A、D的观点有误，选项C与本文的写作目的无

关。

13、WhatdoesAnitaaccuseherformerschoolof?

A、Ignoranceofherabnormalbehaviors.

B、Lackofsafeguardagainsthersuicidalintention.

C、Failuretogiveherproperacademicinstructions.

D^Indifferencetoherphysicaldisease.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：事实细节题。第2段第3句中的malpractice和第4句中的虚拟语气说

明，她认为学校没有对她的自杀企图采取足够的防范措施，故选B。选项A最具

干扰性，但第3句说明学校关注过她的问题，只是关注不够，因此选项A过于绝

对Q选项C中的academicinstructions和D中的physicaldisease属于与文章无关的

信息。

14、HowdoesSyracuseUniversitydefenditselfagainstAnita'ssuit?

A、Ithasgivenherdueattentionaswellashelp.

B、Adultstudentsshouldbeabletocontroltheirownbehavior.

C、Itismorethantheschoofsresponsibilitytosupervisethestudents.

D、Collegescanbeabreedinggroundforpsychiatricproblems.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：事实细节题。第4段倒数第2句引文是该校发言人的辩护词，与选项

A的意思一致。选项B、C为无关信息。选项D是京文最后一段的原句照搬，与此

题不相关c

C、lackoffamilyconcern

D^familyhistoryofmentalillness

标准答案：C

知识点解析：事实细节题。最后一段提到造成精神疾病的多种原因。第I句中的

generallypredisposed为先天具有之意，与选项D的内容吻合。选项B和A分别对

应文中破折号前后的内容。

16、Adecimumwas.

A、thewife'sinheritancefromherfather

B、agiftofmoneytothenewhusband

C、aprotectionofthewife'sright

D^awrittencontract

标准答案：C

知识点解析：词义推断题。第1段第2句指出了decimum的作用，即与“彩礼”相

当，作为保护妇女的工具。第4句以“Thedecimumwas…”的句式指出其定义，综

合这两句，可断定选项C正确。

17、IntheIOthand11thcenturiesinsouthernEuropean,women'ssocialposition

was.

A^higherthanmen's

B、ashighasmen's

C、lowerthanmen's

D、neverrecognized

标准答案：B

知识点解析：推理判断题。文章第1句就表明妇女当时的地位很高，第1段最后两

句表明妇女与其丈夫的地位并无不同，是平等的，因此可以推断本题答案应为B。

18、ThepurposeofmentioningthecaseofMariaVivasis.

B、toprovehot-temperedwomanheldapowerfuleconomicposition

C>totellthereaderstherealsituationsinsomecountries

D、toshowthefightspiritsofwomen

标准答案：A-

知识点解析：推理判断题。本题考查例子与观点的关系。该例子是为了证明其前

面，即第2段开头两句的观点，选项A是对这两句话的总结。

19、Couldahusbandsellhislife'sinheritanceaccordingtothispassage?

A、Yes,ifsheagreed.

B、No,undernocircumstances.

C>Yes,wheneverhewishedto.

D、Yes,whentheyneededmoneyforthehousehold.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：推理判断题。本题考查从例子的推断。根据ManaVivas的例子可确

定答案，而且从第2段第4句中的Havingagreedwilhherhusband可推断售卖妻子

继承的财产必须先征得妻子的同意，因此选项A正确。

20、WhichofthefollowingisNOTmentionedasaneffectofthedowrysystem?

A、Thehusbandhadtosharethepowerofdecisioninmarriage.

正确，第2段首句可证明选项B正确，第2段末句可表明选项C正确，只有选项

D太绝对。

A、ThesayingsoftheSwiss.

B、Thesoundofabird.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：细节题。短文第一段开头指出WhenaNewYorkerwashikingin

C、Theyspendtoomuchtimeinelevatorsandthelike.

嚣。他们的听力可能就不是很好。故选A。

1、[ci]

标准答案：J

知识点解析：此处应为名词，可与介词in构成词组作watch的状语。结合下一句

的Otherfanswatchthegamesalhome,可以推断空口处应为person«watch...playin

person意为“亲眼目睹……打比赛

2、[C2]

标准答案：G

知识点解析：此处应为形容词，修饰fans。从本句中提到的nevermissagame可以

推断只有最热衷的球迷才会这样做，因此devoted--词最符合本句句意。

3、（C31

标准答案：A

知识点解析：此处应为形容词，修饰people。下一句表明本句中提到的职业运动员

年薪很高，由此可推断这些运动员很富有，因此wealthy为本题答案。

4、[C4]

标准答案：L

知识点解析：此处应为名词。结合本句说到的bigmoney,appearing,forsoftdrinks

等词可以推断空白处最合适的词是advertisements,因为现在明星拍广告能赚大

钱。

5、[C51

标准答案：I

知识点解析：此处应为及物动词，且为动词原形。从本句中but可以推断句中第一

个分句表明“虽然不是所有人都崇尚/喜欢运动”，空白处应表明“崇尚”、"喜欢’等

意思，由此可见，worship是最适合的词。

6、[C6]

标准答案：B

知识点解析•：此处应为及物动词，且为动词原形。从本段对运动的描述可以推断空

白处的动词应具积极意义，benefit最合适，表明运动可以造福社区。

7、[C7]

标准答案：F

知识点解析：此处应为名词，且为复数。句中的like及其后所列举的运动项目说明

了这些都属于非竞争性的活动，由此可见，本题答案为aclivities。

8、[C8]

标准答案：M

知识点解析：此处应为名词。本句是最后一段的主题句，该段说明了各种运动的起

源，由此可见，主题句应表明运动是一种国际性的遗产，因此本题答案为

heritage©

9、[C9]

标准答案：E

知识点解析：此处应为及物动词，而且是过去分词的形式，与were构成本句谓

语。本句及其后两句都韦出有一些美国的运动来自于其他国家，因此只有imponed

与此语义相关。

10、[C10]

标准答案：O

知识点解析：此处应为副词，修饰foreign。根据上下文的句意，可以推断词库中

只有fonncrly适当，表明原本外来的运动现在也受欢迎。

11、[Cl]

标准答案：J

知识点解析：此处应为形容词，修饰games。在词库中educational和online都是可

能的选择，但上下文多次提到education一词，由此可见，这篇文章讨论的是教育

游戏，而不是在线游戏，因此educational最适合。

12、[C2]

标准答案：K

知识点解析：此处应为名词，作lead的宾语。根据上下文，考虑到该次会议严讨

论的内容及其目的，可以推断此处应为change。leadchange意为“引导变革”。

13、[C3]

标准答案：N

知识点解析：此处应为名词，回指上一段提到的conference。

14、[C4]

标准答案：F
