1>Whatdoteachersthinkaboutteachingtothemandatedstatetest?

A、Itiscommonlyrecognized.

Itiscuriouslycontroversial.

C、Ithasbeenexceptionallyeffective.

D^Ithasbeeninadequatelydeveloped.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：第1段末句中的openly和proudly表明教师普遍接受应试教育的模

式，由此可见，A为本题答案。B中的curiously与第2段首句中的curious为同族

词，但第2段首句是作者的观点，而且B中的controversial没有原文依据，教师对

应试教育的看法比较一致，不存在争议，因此B不正确；原文除了第1段末句指

出教师对应试教育模式的看法外，其他都是作者的观点，因此，C和D均无原文

依据。

2、Asitisindicatedinthesecondparagraph,theauthorfindsitstrangethat

A、skillsaredeterminedbeforetestsareset.

B、testsarcusedtoassessstudents'skills.

C、testsrestricttheskillsnecessaryforstudents.

D^skillsareconsolidatedbytakingtests.

标准答案：C」

知识点解析：第2段最后三句分别以First,Then,Finally开头，表明在教育的过

程中测试和技巧的顺序，由此顺序可见，C是正确的说法。A与第2段最后三句提

到的顺序相反，囚此不正确；B和D都是作者眼中正常的教育程序。使作者觉得

奇怪的应为与此相反的看法，因此这两个选项不符合题意。

3、Accordingtothethirdparagraph,"thisfundamentalconfusion"referstothefactthat

A、thebasicofskillshavebeendiscussedtoomuch.

B、atestofaskillhasbeenequatedwithacquiringtheskill.

C>thenatureandqualityofwhatistaughtarerarelyconcerned.

D、skillsdonotdevelopbybeingtaughttotaketests.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：根据题干中的“thisfundamentalconfbsion”定位到第3段末句c该句中

的this表明该词组的所指应该在上一句提到，B是对第3段倒数第2句的近义改

写，因此为本题答案。

4、Thecrisisofcomprehensionismostprobablyresultedfrom

A、students5insufficientphonicandgrammarskills.

B、teachingthattakesupmuchofstudents'freetime.

C>teachingthatemphasizesdetailsratherthanthewhole.

D、students,incompetenceinthinkingaboutwhattheyread.

标准答案：D'

知识点解析：最后一段第3句和末句反复强调了学生没有时间think,因此D为本

题答案。本题最具干扰性的是C,最后一段最后三句也提到了学生不能懂得所读资

料的大意，但末句提到这是因为学生过于关注分数而没有时间关注大意，并非因为

老师教导他们无须关注大意，因此C不正确。A中的phonicandgrammarskills在最

后一段首句提及，但insufficienl这一信息没有原文依据；该段末句提到nolime

时，指出的是学生没有时间思考，B断章取义，不正确。

5、Accordingtothenarrator,Scoresbypassedtheexamsbecauseof

A、thenarrator'shelp.

Scoresby'sgoodluck.

C、Scoresby'shardwork.

D、theteachers5kindness.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：第4段倒数第2句中的lucky以及该段最后一句和第5段末尾的

miracle都表明作者认为Scores—by是因为运气好才能考试及格，因此本题应选

Bo文章反复提到作者帮助Scoresby,但也多次提到作者认为Scoresby笨到无可救

药，由此可见，光靠作者的帮助或老师的仁慈，Scoresby是不可能考试及格的，由

此可将最具干扰性的A和D排除。

6、ThenarratordecidedtohelpScoresby

A、sothatScoresbywouldnotloseallhisconfidence.

B、sothatScoresbycouldstayatschoolaslongaspossible,

C、becausethenarratorregardedScoresbyashisownchild,

D、becausethenarratordidn'twanttoseethestudentslagbehind.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：第2段第1句表明作者不想Scoresby被逐出学校，所以他决定尽力

帮助Scoresby以使他能待在学校，由此可见，本题应选B。C试图利用第5段第1

句提到的mother,child等词混淆实现，该句只是一个比喻的说法，作者并没有真

的把Scoresby看作自己的孩子，因此排除C；A、D无原文依据。

7、WhatdidthenarratorthinkaboutScoresby?

A、Scoresbywouldnevergetoverhisstupidity.

Scoresbywouldhaveapromisingfuture.

C、Scoresby7sstupiditywouldbecompensatedbyhardwork.

D、Scoresby'sfailureshouldbeattributedtohislaziness.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：全文提及作者对Scoresby的多次帮助，但每次帮助之后，作者又觉

得Scoresby还是靠运气才通过了考试，可见作者觉得Scoresby无法变聪明，因此

本题应选A。文章最后一句表明作者对Scoresby毕业后的前途并不看好，B与此观

点相反：C中的hardwork和D中的laziness均没有原文依据。

8、Thenarratorfeltguiltyabout

A、beingunabletohelpScoresbytobesmart.

B、indulgingScoresby'sstupidity.

C、enablingScoresbytostayinschool.

D、makingScoresbyarrogant.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：从文章开头到倒数第2段讲的都是作者如何帮助Scoresby,让他尽可

能地留在学校里，最终Scoresby也真撑到了毕业，作者对造成这样的结果感到内

疚，害怕有朝一日会害了Scoresby,由此可见，本题应选C。

9、The"firstrealtest"forScoresbywouldmostprobablybe

A、hisfirsttalkwithhissupervisor.

B、hisfirstservicetothecommunity.

C、hisfirstjobinterview.

D、hisfirsttaskasasoldier.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：第1段首句中的militaryacademy表明Scoresby就读的是一间军校，

毕业后会当士兵，由此可推断，作者认为Scoresby毕业当兵后执行第一次任务会

毁掉他，因此，本题应选D。

10、Bysaying"Laborinouraims",theLaborPartyintendedto

A、becometherulingpartyofBritain.

R、carryoutasocialreforminBritain.

C、attachimportancetothelaborforce.

D、improvetheworkingpeople'swelfare.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：根据题干中的“Laborinouraims”定位到第1段。将该段第3句开头的

That'swhatwemean与开头两句的内容结合起来就可以推断本题应选B。从第2段

可以知道这篇文章是工党已经成为执政党之后发表的，A不正确；C中的labor

force和D中的workingpeople都试图与题干中的Labor扯上关系，但第1段并没有

提到labor与这些有关。

11>Withfar-reachingreforms,itisexpectedthatwillbecomemoreopenand

secure.

A、theinterestrates

B、theBankofEngland

C、thefinancialsystem

D、thebattleagainstinflation

标准答案：C

知识点解析：本题实际上考查第4段末句中代词it的所指，分析该句可以知道it就

是句中的financialsystem,因此本题应选Co

12、"they"inthelastsentenceofthe6thparagraphmostprobablyrefersto

A、EducationAuthorities.

R、Teachers,unions.

C、teachers.

D、schools.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：第6段末句中的they代指前一句末尾的publicservices,结合该段关

于“教育”的话题可以推断publicservices在该段特指“学校”，因此本题应选D。原

文该句中的被动语态可以首先帮助排除Co其他两个选项都不属于public

serviceso

13、WhatisNOTthepurposeoftheWelfaretoWorkprogramme?

A^Todecreasethenumberofpeopleonbenefit.

B、Toenabletheunemployedtogetsomeskill.

C、Toenhancethequalityofserviceslikechildcare.

D^Toreducethejoblesspeople'srelianceonwelfare.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：第7段第5句中的分词结构giving...表明WelfareloWork这一计

划的作用是为了让靠领救济金生活的人掌握生活技能，找到工作，从而不用再领救

济金。从这个角度来看，C符合题意。

14、WhatistheLaborPartydeterminedtodowitlicrimes?

A^Thegovernmentwillbemoretolerantwithcertainkindsofcrimes.

B、Offenders'rehabilitationwillbecomethegovernment'spriority.

C、Parentswillbepunishedfbrtheirchildren'sjuvenileoffending.

D^Allpossiblemeasureswillbetakentofightagainstcrimes.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：第8段第5句中的关键词是beardown,意为“击倒”，而该句中的in

allways表明政府会采取“所有”措施打击罪案，因此本题应选D。A中的tolerant看

起来与bear词义相关，但beardown不能分开理解，因此A根本没有原文依据；B

中的rehabilitation在第8段末句有提及，但该句没有提及这是政府的priority：第8

段第2句只表明“在某些情况下“家长要为孩子的非法行为负责任，可见C的说法过

于绝对。

15、IntheUK,powerwillbedelegatedto

A、thelocalgovernments.

B、thecentralgovernment.

C^therulingparty.

D、theconstitution.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：第9段首句表明工党政府决定将中央权力下放到地方政府，该句中

devolving的意思是“移交”,decentralising意为"（权力）下放”,根据tothenationsand

regionsoftheUKandrevitalizing（使恢复元气）localgovernment可以直接选A。

16、Theauthorsetsupthestandardofoverweightpeoplebasedonthefactthat

A>thenumberofoverweightpeoplehasastonishinglyincreased.

B、peoplehaveadifferentideaabouttheirdesirableweightnow.

C、overweightbecomesathreattopeople'shealth.

D、theoverweightproblemhaslongbeenstudied.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：作者在第2段第2句定义了超重的概念，虽然没有明确指出为什么要

以超出20%为标准，但是从下一句中的插入成分even...可以推断，以前并非

以20%为超重的标准的，现在以此为标准是因为人们对理想体重的标准改变了，

因此B为本题答案。关于超重的标准，原文只有第2段第2、3句有涉及，因此，

虽然A和C的内容在原文中都有提及，但都与超重的标准无关；而D中的long无

原文依据。

17、Bysaying"Soaretheattendanthealthrisks'1,theauthormeans

A、Americasuffershealthrisksaswellastheoverweightproblem.

B、healthrisksresultingfromoverweightareserioustoo.

C、overweightisclassifiedasoneofthehealthproblems.

D^peoplehavealsopaidmuchattentiontothepossiblehealthrisks.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：本题考点是一个倒装句，关键是理解其中的so和attendant的意思。

第2段主要指出肥胖问题很严重，可以推断本句中的so指的是thehealthrisks也很

严重。从第3段第2句中的...hasbeenlinkedto…表明超重造成各种健康问题，该

旬是对前一句的进一步解释.由此可推断本段首句中的theattendanthealthrisks可

理解为“超重造成对健康的危害”，结合这两点的理解，可推断B为本题答案。

18、WhatdoesWilliamDietzthinkofoverweight?

A^Overweightshouldbetreatedasapublichealthproblem.

B、Overweightshouldbeattributedtogluttonyandsloth.

C^Overweighthasmuchtodowithnutritionalproblems.

D、Overweighthasnothingtodowiththeoveruseofcars.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：第5段首句是WilliamDietz对肥胖症的看法，句中的obesilyasa

publichealthproblem表明Dietz认为肥胖症是一个公共健康问题，因此A为本题答

案。B是公众对肥胖症的看法，并非Dietz的看法；原文只有第5段是关于Dietz

的看法，C、D都不能在第5段找到依据。

19>MostAmericansbelievethat

A、theoverweightproblemhascostthenationmuch,

obesityisrelatedtoone'sphysicalconditions.

C^peoplewhoareoverv/eightareunfortunate.

D、gluttonyandslotharetwodeadlysins.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：第6段末句的twoofthesevendeadlysins指的就是该段第3句提到的

gluttonyandsloth.由此可见，D为本题答案。根据第6段首句可知A是作者的看

法；B是第6段第4句提及的内容。也是作者的看法；C是对第6段倒数第2句开

头的someunfortunateoverweightpeople的曲解，而且这也不是大多数美国人的想

法。

20、Inordertosolvetheoverweightproblem,theauthorsuggeststhateveryoneneedto

A、betaughttopreventgainingweight.

B、beeducatedtoloseweighteffectively.

C^seekhelpfromconsumerinformation.

D、knowwhatmakesahealthydinner.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：第7段开头两句表明preventinggain的做法比较可行，而第8段末句

表明education很重要，结合这两点，可推断A为本题答案。

A、inspiringchildren'spassionforlearning

inspiringworkers5passionfbrtheirjob

C、relievingemployeesfromworkpressure

D、relievingtheneedfbrcertainjobtraining

标准答案：C

知识点解析：第2段第5句中的for引出的就是这些公司开发电子游戏的目的，定

语从句里的offersanantidotetothestress表明电子游戏结合了学习的功能后，能帮

助员工减轻压力，C就是对这个内容的同义改写，为本题答案。

A、promotiondoesn'ttaketrainingintoaccount

B、managersserveasabadmodelfortraining

C、itismoreandmoredifficulttogetapromotion

D、game-basede-learningisthemoreupdatedtrend

标准答案：A

知识点解析：第2段第6句开头的Nowthat…引出的从句表明现在升职加薪的机会

都掌握在上司手里，这也就暗示着员工就算花时间去接受培训提升自己，也不能影

响升职加薪，这与A的内容最接近，因此A为本题答案。

3、Inacoat-and-tieculture,peopletendtodemand.

A^thatgamesbecustom-designed

C、higherbudgetlorin-classroomtraining

D^pragmatismandproventechnology

标准答案：D

知识点解析:根据题干中的coal-and-tieculture定位到第3段第1、6句。culturenJ

以理解为“人们崇尚的东西”，而第6句中的…⑹etheday表明现在人们崇尚的是

Pragmatismandproventechnology,由此可见，本题应选D。

4、Inthispassage,theaulhuiregardsuniversitiesprimarilyas.

A、aneducationalinstitution

aresearchinstitution

C>acommunalcomponent

D、asocialcomponent

标准答案：B

知识点解析：第1段第5句中的thetraditionalresearchuniversities表明本文讨论的

话题围绕科研型的大学，接下来的讨论也是围绕大学应如何保持资金和科研之间的

平衡，可见，本文作者关注的是“科研”的问题，因比。本题应选B。

5、Whatproblemsdothepublicuniversitiesinthewesternworldhavetoface

nowadays?

A^Theirstrengthandvitalityhavebeendraining.

B、Thegovernmenthaskeptreducingresearchfunds.

C、Theirfundingismainlyfromcommercialagencies.

D^Theyhavetopreventbrain-drainwithlimitedfunds.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：根据题干中的publicuniversities定位到第2段第1句。该句提到了两

个问题：lackoffunds和adrainingofstrengthandvilalityoD将这两点综合了在一

起，故为答案。虽然第2段最后一句提到brain-drain已威胁到了manycountries,

但这与题干中的westernworld指向有所不同，故A不正确；B中的keptreducing

没有原文依据：第2段建议可以通过与别的机构合作以获得科研资金，可见“与商

业机构合作以获取资金”只是建议，还没成为现状，故C不正确。

6、TheUNESCOismostconcernedabout.

A、thegapbetweendevelopinganddevelopednations

B、howtomakeoursocietyfreerandmorepeaceful

C、th
