21、WhydoJapaneseathletessaysorrytothepublic?

A、Theythinktheirfailuresarewrappedupwithasenseofnationalidentity.

B、Theythinktheirfailuresareduetocarelessness.

C、TheyhaveactedstupidlyintheOlympic.

D^TheyhavelostthechanceofafatendorsementcontractwiththeAmericans.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：该题问：为什么日本的运动员对公众说对不起?从文中的第一段

中...herperformancewasconsideredespeciallysignificantforthefortunesofthenation

可以得出答案为A项（他们认为他们的失败与国家的尊严纠缠在一起）。B项意为

“他们认为他们的失败归咎于粗心“，这跟公众道歉无关，这是他们自己的事，故不

选。C项意为“他们在奥林匹克上的行为很愚蠢”，这也跟公众道歉无关。D项意为

“他们失去了与美日的一笔数额庞大的赞助资金”，比项在原文中并没有提及，原文

的第二段提到的是ButwhereasfailuretowingoldmightcostAmericansafat

endorsementcontract,forJapaneseadisappointingperformanceisevenmore

disastrous,asindividualfailureissomehowwrappedupwithasenseofnational

idenlily.（在美国，未获金牌意味着一笔数额自大的赞助资金的流失。而对日本人

来说，同样令人失望的表现结果却严重得多。因为个人的胜负常常会与国家的尊严

纠缠在一起。）

22、Whatdotheexamplesinpara,3&4mean?

Japaneseathletesaretooambitious.

B、Olympicgamesdomoreharmthangood.

C、ThepeculiarJapanesecultureshouldbereplaced.

D^Japaneseathletesregardtheirfailuresastheirnationaldisgraceareundergreat

pressure.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：该题问：第三、四段的例子意味着什么?从第三段的Youfeelasif

everyoneinJapanfeelsashamedofyou和第四段的hesaid,“Icommittedan

inexcusablemistakeinfrontoftheJapanesepeople.Ihavetobegtheirpardonby

runningandhoistingtheHinomamfnationalflag]inMexico中可以看出D项（认为他们

的失败是他们国家的羞耻的运动员处于极大的压力下）是正确的。A项意为“日木的

运动员太有野心”，不是本文的主旨。B项意为“奥林匹克运动带来的危害大于益

处”，这也是错误的判断。C项意为“古怪的日本文化应该被取代”，这也不是本文

的主旨。

23、Whoisnotresponsibleforthepressure?

A^Themedia.

B、TheJapaneseculture.

C、ThegeneralaltitudeoftheJapanesepopulation.

D^Thesportsmanship.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：该题问：谁应该对压力负责？A项意为“媒体”，文中第五段中指出

Themediaarepartlyresponsibleforthepressure...,所以A项不正确。B项意为“日本

文化”，文中没有提及。C项意为“日本群众的整体杰度”，第五段也指出The

media...reflectthegeneralattitudesofthepopulation.Andthenation'sfansdon'tseem

tobehavingmuchfun,(heygotthereandactedlikethecheeringwascompulsory；

Theydidn'tseemtoreallyenjoythegame。从这这么多地方可以看出C项也不正

确。D项意为“体育道德”。排除了A、B、C后，D为正确选项。

24、Whatdoesthelastparagraphimply?

A、NoJapaneseathletecanreallyfeelrelaxed.

B、Japanesepublicneverfeelcontentwiththeperformanceoftheirathletes.

C、AgoldmedalinJapanisnotthesymbolofvictory.

D、TheJapanesemediahavequitehighexpectationsontheathletes.

标准答案：A-

知识点解析：该型问：最后一段有什么含义？A项意为“没有日本运动员能真正感

到放松的“，最后一段第一句Sadly,evenwhenanathletelivesuptoexpectations,

thedemandingdrum-heatfbrvictorydoesn'tccasc及ItwashissecondOlympic

victory,butNomurahadlittlechancetosavorthemoment.Whatabout2004?从这几

处地方可以看出A项是正确的。B项意为“H本公众从来没有对他们的运动员的表

现满意过”，文中并没有提及。C项意为“在日本一枚金牌并不是成功的象征”，这

在文中并也没有提及。D项意为“日本媒体对运动员们有很高的期望”，这句话是对

的，但本段的主旨并非如此。

25、Thewriterfelt"iiiatease"because.

A^theproceedingsseemedinappropriatetotheoccasion

B、hewasafraidthatthecontestantswouldbecomeviolent

C、hefeltthatnoprogresswaslikelytobemade

D^hewasnotaccustomedtosuchstupidity.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：该题问：作者感到不自在，这是因为什么？A项意为“程序好象对这

个场合来说不是那么合适”，文中的第一、二段的描述证明A项是正确的。B项意

为“他担心竞争者会变得凶暴”，这不是作者的主旨，C项“他感到不会有什么送展

了“，文中并没有提及和暗示。D项意为“他对这样的愚蠢觉得不习惯”，文中亦无

暗示。

26、Sabridismissedthewomanbecause.

A、hehadhadenoughoftheargument

B、hewantedtoshowhisdisgustatthesuggestedprice

C、hewantedtogivetheimpressionthathehadlostallinterestinthesale

D、hewantedtimetothinkthematterover

标准答案：C

知识点解析：该题问：Sabri让这个妇女离开是因为什么？A项意为“他已争论得足

够了”，显然再多的争论都不算多，A项不正确。B项意为“他想要显示出他对这个

建议的价格的厌恶”，文中并没有提及他对价格的厌恶，故B项也不正确。C项意

为“他想要给出一种印象即他在这桩买卖中无任何利益而言"，这是Sabri的谈判技

巧，从文中的后半部分即可知Sabri只是要减低房价，所以C项为正确选项。D项

意为“他想要时间再把这件事考虑一下”，显然他早已盘算清楚了，此项不正确。

27、Whydoesthemanbringhiswifeback?

A、Hehassuggestedsomenewargumentstoher.

B>Heisveryanxioustosellthehouse.

C>Heisafraidshemighthaveoffendedapotentialbuyer.

D^Hewantshertocontinuetonegotiateonhisbehalf.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：该题问：这个男人为什么又把他的妻子带回来了？A项意为“他已经

设想了——些与她新的争论”，文中没有提及。B项意为“他非常着急地想卖掉房

子”，文中没有提到。C项意为“他担心她会惹恼了一一位潜在的买主”，文中亦没

有提到。D项意为“他想要她继续代表他谈判”，买者与卖者之间无非是一一方想要

压低价，另一方想要抬高价，因此一切争论都是围绕价格而来的，所以D项为正

确选项。

28、Themainthemeofthepassageis.

A、apsychologicalanalysisofthepeopleinvolved

B、anaccountofthesuccessivestagesinvolvedinhousepurchase

C^Sabri'stechniqueinreducingthepriceofthehouse

D、alight-heartedstudyofbargainingtechniquesingeneral

标准答案：c

知识点谒析：该题问：这篇文章的主题是什么？A项意为“是对这些人的心理分

析”，这不是文章的主旨。B项意为“对这个房子购买的一个连续的叙述〕这并没

有讲出文章的精髓所在。C项意为“Sabri的压低这个房子的价格的技巧”，这是文

章的主旨，为正确选项，整篇文章都是围绕Sabri怎样用技巧使房价压低展开的。

D项意为“对讨价还价技巧大致的一个研究”，显然这个说法太笼统了。

B、demand500,000poundsforeachoftheGuildfordFour

C、demand50,000poundsforeachoftheGuildfordFour

D、demandareexaminationoftheBirminghampubbombings

标准答案：B

知识点解析：该题问：为了补偿误判，被告律师可以怎样做?A项意为“要求对the

GuildfordFour赔偿500.000英磅”，此项文中并没有提到。B项意为“要求对the

GuildfordFour的每一位各赔偿50,000英磅”，这在文中第二段的最后一句中可以

看出Inthemeantime,defencelawyersaredemandingcompensationandhavein

mindabouthalfamillionpoundsforeachoftheirclients,故B项为正确选项。C项意

为“要求对theGuildfordFour的每一位成员赔偿50,000pounds"，显然这并不是

halfamillion,故为错误选项。D项意为“要求对伯明翰的酒吧爆炸重新审查”,这

显然是另一个案子，故些项不正确。

30、Whywasthereareneweddemandforthere-examinationofthecaseagainstthe

BirminghamSix?

A、TheBirminghamSixwerebelievedtohavecriminalconnectionswiththeGuildford

Four.

B、Thetwocasesweresimilarinthatbothwereaboutpubbombings.

C>ThebombingsinBirminghamhappenedatthesametime.

D、TheBirminghamSixalsoclaimedthattherewerepolicemalpracticesintheircase.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：该题问：为什么针对theBiirninghamSix的案件重新审查有新的要

求？A项意为“TheBirminghamSix被认为与theGuildfordFour有犯罪联系”，在文

中没有提及；B项意为“这两个案件的相似点在于两者都是关于酒吧爆炸案”，文中

也没提及。C项意为“在伯明翰的爆炸案与Guildford和Woolwhich的爆炸案发生在

同一时间”，文中亦没有提及。D项意为“TheBirminghamSix也宣称在他们的案件

中存在着警察渎职情况”，这在文中的第五段的最后一句中提到Thedisturbing

similarityisthattheBirminghamsix,liketheGuildfordfour,claimthatpoliceofficers

liedandfabricatedevidencetosecureaconviction,因此D项为正确选项。

31、Theexistinglawslatesthat.

D、convictionscan'tbemadeonconfessionaloneandthestatementstakenbypolice

officersfromaccusedpersonsarcvalidlegalevidence

标准答案:A

知识点解析：该题问：现存的法律陈述什么？A项意为“警员从被控人员那里取得

的陈述是有效的合法的证据”，从文中的第五、六段可以知道A项为正确选项.B

项意为“定罪不能仅仅根据供词，当从被控人员那里取得陈述时还应有第三方在

场”，这在文中的第六段firsttomakeitimpossibletcconvictonconfessionsalone：

andsecondlytorequirethatstatementsfromaccusedpersonsshouldonlybetakeninthe

presenceofanindependentthirdpartytoensuretheyarenotmadeundercoercion可以

看出。但是这句话的前提，Therearealreadydemandsthatthelawshouldbe

changedo这只是demands,而不是现存法程，故B项亦不正确。C项意为“当有供

词和第二方也在场的情况下从被控人员那里取得的陈述时可以定罪”，这也可从第

六段中找到，然而这也是demands,而不是现存祛律。D项意为“不能仅仅根据供

词定罪，警察官员从被控人员那里取得的陈述是合法有效的证据”，根据第六段，

此项前半部分是错误的，且仅仅是demand,不是现存法律，后半部分是正确的。

32、Accordingtothearticle,whichofthefollowingpartiescontributedmosttothe

releaseoftheGuildfordFour?

A、Reporters.

B、Lawyers.

C^Thepolice.

D、Thejudiciary.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：该题问：艰据这篇文章，theGuildfordFour的释放大部分归功于下面

的哪一方？A项为正确选项，从文中的最后一段itwasalsobeingnotedthisweekthat

theGuildfordFourowetheirreleasemoretothepersistenceofinvestigativereporters

thantothediligenceofeitherthejudicialorthepolice可以看出。B项（律师）、C项

（警察）、D项（法官）都有其功劳，但最大的功劳还是在记者。
