（1）.WeknowfromthefirstparagraphthatMichaelBloombergis_.（分数：2.00）

A.adirectorofasodacompany

B.ajudgeoftheNewYorkCity

C.anadvocateofbigfizzy-drinkbottles

D.anenthusiastofbanningjunkfoodanddrinksV

解析：解析:该段首句提到：...MichaelBloomberg,NewYork,smayor,whenheproposedabanonbig

fizzy—drinkbottleslastMay.由此可知MichaelBloomberg是纽约市长，同时也提倡禁止大瓶装汽水

饮料。选项[A]“汽水企业的主管”纯属无中生有。选项[B]“纽约市法官”是对于最后一句butajudgemay

intervene的曲解。选项[C]“大瓶汽水饮料的提倡者”与原文的banonbigfizzy一drinkbottles完全

颠倒，故错误。而选项[D]“禁止垃圾食品和饮品的热心倡导者”符合原文的banonbigfizzy-drink

bottles,故最后一项正确。

（2）.MichelleObamaz，sLet'sMove!campaignaimsat.（分数：2.00）

A.fightingagainsttheproblemofobesity

B.solvingtheproblemofhighdivorcerate

C.handlingtheproblemofchildrenobesityJ

D.addressingtheproblemofracialdiscrimination

解析：解析:本题简单。根据题干中的MichelleObama'sLet'sMove［Campaign这几个关键词定位到第

二段的首句：ThreeyearsafterMichelleObamalaunchedherLet/sMove{campaign,thefightagainst

childhoodobesityfacesatacticalproblem.可见答案是childhoodobesity,即选项［C］中的children

obesity。而选项［A］提到的问题为obesity（肥胖问题）,而非原文提到的childhoodobesity（儿童肥胖问题），

故选项［A］答案过于笼统。而选项［B］中的divorcerate和选项［案中的racialdiscrimination在原文都

未被提及，故错误。

（3）.WelearnfromParagraph3that.（分数:2.00）

A.manyfirmshaveansweredMrsObama^scallJ

B.PartnershipforaHealthierAmericaisapoliticalorganization

C.theeffortsofthefoodanddrinkcompaniesmayseemeffectiveinthelongterm

D.sixteenfoodanddrinkcompanieshavecutdown1.5trillioncaloriesfromtheirproducts

解析：解析：根据选项［A］定位到第三段第二、三两句：MrsObamahasexhortedfirmstotakeac—tion.Many

companieshave.意为：奥巴马夫人呼吁企业采取行动，许多企业照办了。即许多企业响应了奥巴马夫人

的号召，即选项［A］是正确的。根据选项［B］中的PartnershipforaHealthierAmerica定位到第三段第四

句：OnMarch6ththePartnershipforaHealthierAmerica,abusinessgroup…该句明确提至UPartnership

foraHealthierAmerica是一个商业组织，而非政治组织，故选项［B］错误。根据选项［C］定位到原文倒

数第三行：Thelong—termeffectoftheseef-fortsmaybesiim.其中提到：这些努力的长远效果是

不显著的。其中slim•词与该项的effec—tive意思是相反的，故该项错误。选项［D］错在havecutdown,

原文提至U：Sixteenfoodandbev-eragecompanieshavepromisedtoslashacombined1.5trillion

caloriesfromtheirproductsby2015.其中by2015是关键，这与该项中的havecutdown不符，故该

项错误。

（4）.Fourfederalagenciesdroppedtheireffortsbecauseof.（分数：2.00）

A.thepressurefromthepublic

B.thepressurefromCongressJ

C.therequirementfromObamacare

D.theFoodandDrugAdministration

解析：解析：本题简单。根据Fourfederalagencies定位到第四段的中间：UnderpressurefromCongress,

theagenciesdroppedtheeffort.可见答案是选项［B］thepressurefromCongress0而选项［A］是无中

生有。选项［C］和［D］两项中的Obamacare和theFoodandDrugAdministration在原文中都被提及,但非

该句的原因。

（5）.Wecaninferfromthelastparagraphthat.（分数：2.00）

A.thereisnosodataxinthecityofRichmondJ

B.citiesandstatesarelesslikelytotakeaction

C.citiesandstatesfacelesschallengesthanCongress

D.MrBloomberghelpstocancelsodataxinRichmond

解析：解析：根据选项［A］定位到最后一段第二句：Lastyearthebeveragelobbyspentmorethan$2.8m

todefeatasodataxinthesmallcityofRichmond,可见在里士满汽水税被打败了，即里士满没有

汽水税，选项［A］是正确的。选项［B］对应原文：CitiesandstatesaremorelikelytoactthanCongress.这

与该项中的lesslikely完全相反，故该项错误。选项［C］对应原文首句：Citiesandstatesaremorelikely

toactthanCongress（hardlyahighbar）,buttheyfacetheirownchai1en一ges.文章提到各市和

各州面临自身挑战，并没有比较谁面临的挑战更大或更小，故该项错误。该段提到了里士满的汽水税，也

提到了MrBloomberg,但并没有提到是他帮助取消了汽水税。而根据文章首段，我们也得知MrBloomberg

对于汽水是禁止的，对于向汽水征税（提高汽水价格从而降低销量）这一举措应该是支持的。故选项［D］错误。

（1）.Bysaying“Mostpeoplewouldnotpaytwocentsforsomethingworthone”,theauthorintends

A.interpretthemeaningofthissentence

B.explainAmericangovernment'sunreasonableact

C.showtheincreaseofpriceofzinc,thecoin'smainingredient

D.introducethetopicofmoney-losingpurchaseofpenny-makingJ

解析：解析：这种题型类似于主旨大意题。区别在于主旨大意题问的是文章的中心大意，而篇章结构题一

般是问某个自然段（尤其是首段）在文章中的作用。作者在首句提到“大多数人不会花两分钱去干一分钱的

事”是为了引出下句“美国政府就干了这样的事”，接着在第三句说道美国政府做了这样的事是因为美分

硬币如今造价高，所以文章首句的目的是为了引出该文的话题：硬币造价高。即选项［D］为答案。注意：一

般首段或者首句目的，都是为全文中心大意服务的，因此首段或首句的目的通常是为了引出主题。

（2）.AccordingtoParagraph2,whichoneistrue?（分数：2.00）

A.Americangovernmenthasabandonedpennyrecently.

B.Obamabelievedthatpennywastooexpensivetomake.J

C.Thepriceofsteelisrisingbutmanycountriessti11useit.

D.CanadiangovernmentisreluctanttolearnfromAmerica.

解析：解析：选项［A］对应该段第二句：Thegovernmentthererecentlyditcheditssteel-based

pen—ny.最近该政府刚刚取消其用钢制造的硬币。其中thegovernment指代上文的Canada,而不是该项

的America,故该项属于偷换概念，错误。选项［B］对应最后一句：BarackObamtiintimatedthatthepenny

wasnolongerchangehebelievesin.意为：巴拉克♦奥巴马宣布，美分再也不是他所认为的零钱了（言

下之意，制造美分硬币成本太高）。故该项表述正确。选项［C］前半句是正确的，但manycountriessti11

useit是无中生有,故错误。选项［D］对应该段第三句：Americanpoliticians,whilelothtotakelessons

fromtheirnorthernneighbours,mayhavenoticed.大意为：尽管美国不情愿从北方邻国（指加拿大）

身上吸取教训，但是该国政治家应该注意到这个问题.了。故该项“Canadiangovernmentisreluctantto

learnfromAmerica”是偷换概念。综上所述，该题答案为选项［B］。

（3）.Thepenny'sprimaryfunctionisto.（分数：2.00）

A.boosteconomyV

B.preventinflation

C.improvecurrencyexchange

D.buyahamburgeratMcDonald^s

解析：解析：根据题干可以定位到第三段的中间部分：...thepennyisfailingtoperformitsprima-ry

function：tofacilitatecommerce.由此非常清晰地得出答案为tofacilitatecommerce（促进商业贸

易），而选项中与之最接近的是选项［A］toboosteconomy（促进经济），故为答案。选项［C］中的improve虽

然与facilitate也属于同义词.但后面的cu门*encyexchange是文中未提到的，故错误p选项［B］中的

inflation,选项［D］中的buyahamburgeratMcDonald's在文章中都可以找到对应信息,但是并非美分

硬币的主要功能。故错误。

（4）.Pennyloversandzinc-industrylobbyistsopposethat.（分数：2.00）

A.customerscannotbargainanymore

B.merchantswouldroundthepricesdown

C.coin〃sdisappearancewouldcostconsumersJ

D.coin'sdemisewouldcostshopkeepersalot

解析：解析：根据题干定位到第四段第一句：Pennyloversandzinc—industrylobbyistscounterthatthe

coin,sdemisewouldcostconsumers,asmerchantswouldroundpricesuptothenearestnickel.答

案很明显，是thecoin,sdemisewouldcostconsumers,其中该题题干中的oppose对应原文中的counter；

demise对应选项［C］中的disappearance,故选项［C］和原文的thecoin,sdemisewouldcostconsumers

是同义替换关系。

（5）.Somepeoplesuggesttocancelpennybecause.（分数：2.00）

A.itcoststencentstomakeapenny

B.othercountrieshaveabandonedcoins

C.itwillbringnumerousbenefitstodoso

D.Americacanceledthehalf-centinhistoryJ

解析：解析：根据somepeoplesuggesttocancelpenny定位到最后一段最后•句：Thishasledsometo

suggestkillingthenickel,whichcostsabouttencentstomake,aswellasthepenny.意为：

这导致许多人建议取消五分银币（制造一枚五分银币耗费十美分）和一美分硬币。而this即指代产生这一建

议的缘由，故本题答案在this之前一句：In1857itditchedthehalf-cent,thenworthnearlyasmuch

inrealtermsastoday'sdime.而与该句接近的表述是选项［D］Americacanceledthehalf-centin

history（美国历史上取消过半分硬币）。选项［A］错在原文说的是制造nickel需要耗费十美分，而不是制造

penny,该项属于偷换概念。选项［B］错在原文说的是其他国家取消ulow-valuecoins低面额硬币”而不

是取消所有coins,故该项也属于偷换概念。选项［C］在原文中没提到，属于无中生有。故本题答案为选项

A.thepaymentforafatcat

B.seniorexecutives*salariesJ

C.shareholders^highsalaries

D.governors"invisibleincomes

解析：解析：语义题的总思路是在文章上下文寻找同义替换信息，文章提到fat-catpay是在第一句，而

文章第三句提到：Asithappened,68%oftheelectoratedid,passingameasurethatrequireslisted

companiestooffershareholdersabindingvoteonseniormanagers"payandappoint—mentsateach

annualgeneralmeeting.其中的seniormanagers'pay对应选项［B］seniorexecutives'salaries。而

其余几项在文中都未提及，属于无中生有。

（2）.Whatcanbeimpliedfromthesecondparagraph?（分数：2.00）

A.Swisshasacceptedthepublicaccusation.

B.Swisshasgivenvotersmorevotingpowers.

C.ItwilltakeadecadetowritealawinSwiss.

D.Switzerlandusedtobeaninvestmentdestination.J

解析：解析：选项［A］是对于第二段中间的Economiesuisse,theSwissBusinessFederation,nowaccepts

thepopularverdict一句的设置。其中popularverdict=publicaccusation,但其主语错误，原文说的

是Economiesuisse这个组织，而不是瑞士。选项［B］对应该段第一、二句：Swissbusinessisshaken.It

hadbackedaMcounter—initiative^givingshareholdersmorevotingpowers…可见丁帚士是给了月殳东

更多的投票权，而非给了选民更多投票权，故选项［B］错误。选项［C］项对应该段最后一句：Thelawsneeded

toputthevoteintopracticewi11taketenyearstowrite,somecynicssuggest.是“落实投票

选举的法律将花费十年才能完成”，而不是该项的“在瑞士，写一部法律需耗费十年”。故该项错误。选

项［D］对应原文：Thenewlaw,whichwillbewrittenintotheconstitution,endangersSwitzerland

asaninvestmentdestination.意为：这部将写入宪法的新法律，使作为投资目的地的瑞士受到威胁。

可见瑞士本来就是一个投资目的地，故选项［D］是正确的。

（3）.Accordingtothetext,ThomasMinder.（分数：2.00）

A.isamentalworkerwhohasachiId

B.hasgainedcompensationfromNovartis

C.runshisownbusinessconcerningcosmeticJ

D.worksforaSwisspharmaceuticalcompany

解析：解析：根据ThomasMinder定位到第三段。选项［A］对应该段第一句：TheinitiativeisthebrainchiId

ofThomasMinder…该句提到了brainchiId（脑力劳动产物）,与该项的mentalworker,child无关,故

该项错误。选项［B］对应倒数第二句:MrMinder'scampaigngainedmomentumlastmonth…其中gained

momentum的意思是“大获势头”，原文并没有提到Minder获得了补偿金，故该项错误。选项［C］对应首

句:，..ThomasMinder,whorunshisfamilyystoiletriesbusiness.其中，toiletry一词表示“化

妆品”，“hisfamily'stoiletriesbusiness他家族的化妆品生意”对应该项的“hisownbusiness

concerningcosmetic与化妆品有关的生意”。选项［D］对应倒数第二句No一vartis,aSwissdrugfirm

这处信息，其中drugfirm=pharmaceuticalcompany0文章中提到该制药公司，但没有说Minder为其工

作，故该项错误。综上所述，答案为选项［C］。

（4）.ThenewbindingsincludeallEXCEPTthat.（分数：2.00）

A.stakeholderdeterminesmanager'ssalarythroughvoting

B.membersofboardarebannedfrommakinginternaldeal

C.boardmembersarenotallowedtocontactwithothercompaniesJ

D.theamountofretirementmoneyshouldbevotedandannounced

解析：解析：根据题干中的"newbindings新的约束”定位到第四段的“newrestrictions新的限制”。

答案来自后面几个句子。选项［A］对应第三句：Shareholdervotesonexecutivepay…其中

stakeholder=shareholder；determine***throughvoting=vote；manager'ssalary=executivepay。故该

项与原文相符。选项［D］对应倒数第二句：Pensionfundswi11berequiredtovoteintheinterestsof

theirmembersandmaketheirvotespublic.其中retirementmoney=pensionfund；shouldbevoted=will

berequiredtovote；announced=maketheirvotespublico故该项与原文相符。选项［B］和［C］对应最

后一句：Boardmemberswillnotbepermittedtohaveconsultingorothercon-tractswithfirms

inthesamegroup.其中选项［C］中的“notallowedtocontactwithothercompanies不能与其他公

司交流“与原文"notbepermittedtohaveconsultingorothercontractswithfirmsinthesamegroup

不能与同一集团的其他公司商议或签署合同”不符。而选项［B］的"bannedfrommakinginternaldeal禁

止内部交易”与之相符。故本题与原文表述不一致的答案为选项［C］。

(5).Theauthor'sattitudetowardsnewrulesandrestrictionsseemstobe.(分数：2.00)

A.objectiveV

B.supportive

C.contradictory

D.suspicious

解析：解析：根据newrulesandrestrictions定位到最后两段。注意文中出现了两处信息，第一处是第

四段的第二句：Someofthenewrestrictionsseemsensible.既然出现someof,必然会出现other

这个信息，故第二处信息在最后一段首句：Butotherprovisionsaremoreburdensome.其中

provisions二rules。我们从这两句话可以看出作者的态度。两句中,sensible表示“明智的”,而

burdensome表示“繁重的，恼人的”，作者既表达肯定，也指出不足，显然是在客观分析，故作者的态度

是客观的。答案为选项［A］。而选项［B］意为“支持的”：选项［C］意为“反对的”：选项［D］意为“怀疑的”。

这三项无法表达作者的全部态度，故错误。

A.Honshuliestothenorth-eastofJapan

B.theearthquakewascausedbythetsunami

C.anAmericanwriterwroteabookaboutthedisasterJ

解析：解析：选项［A］对应原文：...anAmericanwriter,flewtothenorth-eastcoastoftheisland

ofHonshu.原文说一位美国作家飞往本州岛(位于13本中部)东北海岸，而没有说本州位于日本东北，故该

项错误。选项［B］对应原文首句：...astrongearthquakethattriggeredadisastroustsu一nami.可

见是地震引发了海啸，而非地震被海啸引起，该项将主被动关系颠倒，错误。选项［C］对应文章最后一句：

Readersofherbookcanwitnessthedevastationthroughkeeneyes.可见她写了本关于这场灾难的

书,而“她”指代上文shewasdrawnto…中的she,也就是上文的GretelEhrlich,anAmericanwritero

故该项是正确的。选项［D］对应原文最后一句：Readersofherbookcanwitnessthedevastationthrough

keeneyes.读者可以通过她的书目击这场灾难。而非许多人亲眼目击了这场灾难，故该项错误。
