缺少的。

22>Whichofthefollowingisthemostimportantinthestepsinthescientificmethod?

A、Collectingandorganisingthefacts.

Statingahypothesis.

C、restingthehypothesis,

D、Publishingthetheory.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：第七段谈到进行科学研究的最后一个步骤是通过实践来检验理论，而

且这个步骤是最重要的(Thisisessential),因此应选C。

23WhichofthefollowingquestionsmighttheCuriesNOTaskintheirinvestigations?

A^Whatwasradiationexactly?

B、Whatmaterialsmighthaveradioactivity?

C、Howcouldmanavoidpowerfulradioactivity?

D、Howstrongistheradioactivityofradium?

标准答案：c

知识点谒析：此题可用排除法。在文章第二、第四、第六段Curies夫妇分别提到

A、B、D中的问题，唯独没有提出人类如何避开强大的放射现象，因此选C。

24、WhathappenedinscientificcirclesaftertheCurieshadcompletedthefinalstep?

A^Scientistsuseddeductivereasoningtotesttheirinvestigations,

B、Scientistswereconcernedwithprobabilityintheirinvestigations.

C、Scientistsreadtheirreportsandexaminedtheirinvestigations.

D^Scientistswerecriticaloftheirinvestigations.

标准答案：C

知识点点析：倒数第二段谈到进行科学研究的最后一个步骤是检验理论。文章倒数

第二句又谈到Curies夫妇发表报告后，其报告立即被全世界的科举家检验，庆此

应选C。

25、Themaindifferencebetweennaturalandartificialselectionisthathuman

beings.

A、controlthedirectionofartificialselection

B、controlthedirectionofnaturalselection

C、makenewgenesinartificialselection

D、makenewgenesinnaturalselection

标准答案：A

知识点解析：根据natural和artificial两个词的意思以及第一段举的例子，我们可

以推断出两者主要的差别在于人类有否干预。人类干预的即是人工选择，因此A

为正确答案。

26、WhichofthefollowingstatementsisNOTtrue?

Membersofaspeciesdifferfromoneanother.

B、Alldifferencesbetweenindividualsarcinherited.

C、Twoorganismswithidenticalgenesmaygrowtodifferentsizes.

D^Notalloftheorganismscanlivetoreproduce.

标准答案：B」

知识点解析：参见第三段括号内的话：Olherdifferencesarenotinherited,butare

causedbydifferentenvironments.也就是有些个体间的差异不受遗传影响，而是与

不同的环境有关，因此B错误。

27Whatwouldhappentoinheritedcharacteristicsinthenextgenerationintheprocess

ofnaturalselection?

A、Inheritedcharacteristicsthatdecreaseanorganism'schancesoflivingand

reproducingwillbemorecommon.

B、Inheritedcharacteristicsthatincreaseanorganism'schancesoflivingand

reproducingwillbelesscommon.

C^Inheritedcharacteristicsthatincreaseanorganism'schancesoflivingand

reproducingwillremainthesame.

D、Inheritedcharacteristicsthatdecreaseanorganism'schancesoflivingand

reproducingwillbelesscommon.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：第五段第一句的意思是：能提高一个生物生存和繁殖机会的遗传特征

将在该生物的下一代更常见，而那些减少其繁殖机会的遗传特征则更少见。这与D

的意思一致，因此选D。

28、Inthesectionof"Winners",theauthors'objectiveisto

A、convincethereaderthatwinningisimportant

B、describethenatureofwinningandachieving

C、statethecharacteristicsofawinningperson.

D、explainhowtobeav/inner

标准答案：C

知识点解析：“Winners”一节共由五段组成。每一段的第一句都是该段的主题句。

作者在这一节详细描述了成功者所具备的五个特征：潜在能力、独立思考及辨别能

力、应变能力、即可以及时享乐也能推迟享乐和关心世界及其大众。因此应选C。

29、Whichofthefollowingcharacterizeslosers?

Loserstendtopostponeenjoymentandnottodisciplinethemselves.

B、Loserstendtorestraintheirloveandcaring.

C、Loserstendtogiveupsomeofthetechniqueswhichtheydeveloptocopewithbad

experiences.

D、Losersaresoafraidtotrynewthingsthattheyoftenchangetheirplanstosuitthe

situation.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：从上一题我们已得知推迟享乐是成功者的五个特征之一，所以A不

正确。第三段最后一句"Aloserhangsontothem"中的"hangsonto”与C中的giveup

意思相反，因此C也不正确。第四段第四句：Hemaintainshisownstatusquo.意

思是“他维持现状”，所以D不正确。第五段第一句：Aloserhasdifficultygiving

andreceivingaffection.与B意思相近。B是正确答案。

30、Changingone's"losingstreak'1means.

A、doingtransactionalanalysis

B、becomingmorelikeawinner

C^learningnewpsychologicalapproaches

D、gettingridofbadhabits

标准答案：B

知识点解析：倒数第四段第一句中：Whenapersonwantstodiscoverandchange

histllosingstreak”和whenhewantstobecomemorelikethewinnerhewasborntobe是

并列关系的从句。从第二个从句可推断出changehis4llosingstreak”的意思是

“becomemorelikethewinnerhewasborntobe"，即更像成功者，因此应选Bo

31、Thesecondsectiondescribestwopsychologicalapproaches.

A、thatcanhelplosersbecomewinners

B、thatareparticularlyhelpfulforwinners

C、thatcanhelponebecomeall-rounded

D、thatcanhelpdistinguishawinnerfromaloser

标准答案：A-

知识点解析：倒数第四段第一句指出，一个想从失败变为成功的人可以尝试盖式实

验(gesiak-typeexperiment)和交流分析(transactionalanalysis)o反过来说，这两种心

理方法可帮助失败者摆脱困境，走向成功，因此A为正确答案。

GivenShakespeare'spopularityasanactorandaplaywrightandhisconspicuous

32、WhatdistinguishesShakespearefromtheotherEnglishdramatistswhoalsoused

well-knownEnglishhistoryandoldlegendsassources?

A、Hisrecreationoffamiliartales.

B、Hiscompetenceinforeignlanguages.

C、Hisownexperienceasanactor.

D^HisRoeticpassion:

标准答案：A

知识点解析：本文第二段谈到Shakespeare的与众不同之处在于：Herearranged

familiartalcswithanextraordinarygiftfordrama,...因此应该选A。

33、WhomighttestifythatitwasShakespearewhowrotetheplays?

A、Themystery-authortheorists.

B、FrancisBacon.

C、Theatreowners.

D、Theatregoersandtheactors.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：第三段提到一些人的质疑：Shakespeare戏剧是否真的出自他本人之

手?该段最后一句，作者给出了肯定的答案：不仅BenJonson而且剧院老板和演员

们都能证实的确是Shakespeare写了这些剧本。因此正确答案是C。D不对，因为

文章没有提及看戏的人(Theatre-goers)。

34、AllofthefollowingstatementsaretrueEXCEPT.

A^Shakespearereceivedlittleformalhighereducation.

B、Shakespearecouldremainobjectivewheninterpretinghumanpassions.

C、Shakespearehadathoroughunderstandingofthenatureofhumanbehaviour.

D、Shakespeare'sdramawasspokenhighlyofbySamuelJohnson.

标准答案：D」..

知识点解析：第三段第一句的意思是：一个受过极少教育的人如何能创作出这些著

作呢?这与A对应。第五段最后一句的前半句(Hiscoolobjectivityinrenderinghuman

passions)意思指Shakespeare表达人物情感时的客观冷静，与B对应。第四段笫四

句谈至UShakespeare的确能“读懂”人类行为的本质(andShakespearecertainly^read^the

natureofhumanbehaviour),与C对应。正确答案只能是D,因为第五段最后一行

谈到SamuelJohnson批评Shakespeare的写作“没有任何道德观念”(SamuelJohnson

chastisedShakespearefbrwriting4twithoutanymoralpurpose"),而D中wasspoken

highlyof的意思是被高度赞扬。

35、WhatiscommonamongthecharactersinShakespeare'sdrama?

A、Theyreflectthepeopleinrealityaswellasinhisdreams.

B、Theyoftenhavetomakehardchoicesastowhattodo.

C、Theyarecaughtintheconflictofemotionsandfeelashamedof(hcmsclves.

D、Alloftheabove.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：文章最后一句：，..aparadeofcharacterscaught,...andthe

paradoxesofhumandilemmas.暗示Shakespeare剧本中的人物常常处于两难的境

地、面临着决择，而A和C只有前半句表述正确，因此B是正确答案，

Thesenseofhonourappearstobedying.Whofightsdue
