望考生加強(qiáng)逆向思維即反推的解題能力。3.【答案】B【考點(diǎn)解析】本題是一道關(guān)鍵詞語的理解題目，其答案信息來源在第一段的尾句，原文當(dāng)中的“specific”一詞是本題的答案所在。考生要加強(qiáng)對原文中重點(diǎn)形容詞和副詞的理解。4.【答案】D【考點(diǎn)解析】這是一道反論題。這種題的關(guān)鍵在于利用原文的信息否定原文所要表達(dá)的觀點(diǎn)。原文講“少數(shù)民族企業(yè)簽訂的合同金額由1972年的7700萬美元升至1977年的11億美元”。原文所要表達(dá)的觀點(diǎn)是合同金額的增長。選項(xiàng)D正是利用原文的信息否定了原文所要表達(dá)的觀點(diǎn)。選項(xiàng)D所表達(dá)的信息是變化增長數(shù)字背后的不變。這種題屬于較難的題型，希望考生加以重視。5.【答案】C【考點(diǎn)解析】這是一道關(guān)鍵詞語理解題。本題的答案信息在第二段的尾句，句中“l(fā)etup”一詞決定了本題的正確答案是C，因?yàn)樵撛~的含義是“停頓，減弱”。考生在備考過程中要盡力擴(kuò)大自己的詞匯量。4參考譯文最近幾年美國少數(shù)民族所有的企業(yè)可以說是空前的機(jī)會和重大風(fēng)險(xiǎn)并存。人權(quán)活動家早就指出過：黑人，拉美裔美國人，以及其他少數(shù)民族難以在生意場中立足的主要原因是他們?nèi)鄙倌艿玫接幸?guī)模的訂貨或與大公司分合同的機(jī)會?，F(xiàn)在議會以一致意見通過法律，要求企業(yè)獲得價(jià)值50萬美元以上的聯(lián)邦合同后要盡最大可能來尋找少數(shù)民族合作者，并且需將他們在此點(diǎn)上的成效如何在政府中存檔立案。實(shí)際上，一些聯(lián)邦和地方機(jī)構(gòu)走得更遠(yuǎn)，它們甚至規(guī)定了公共合同有多少比例要分給少數(shù)民族公司。企業(yè)對此的反應(yīng)是強(qiáng)烈的。從1977年統(tǒng)計(jì)的數(shù)據(jù)看，與少數(shù)民族企業(yè)簽訂的合同金額由1972年的7700萬美元升至1977年的11億美元。預(yù)計(jì)此金額要在80年代前期達(dá)到每年30億美元以上，在下一個(gè)10年中看來也不會停止。盡管這對少數(shù)民族企業(yè)來說前途光明，這種增加的財(cái)源也給它們帶來了危險(xiǎn)。首先，少數(shù)民族企業(yè)冒著過快膨脹和財(cái)政上力不從心的危險(xiǎn)，因?yàn)樗鼈兇蟛糠质切∑髽I(yè)，和大企業(yè)不同之外在于它們?yōu)槁男泻贤Ｐ枰趶S房、人員、設(shè)備（以及諸如此類）等上做一大筆投資。如果其后由于某種原因其合同量減少，它們將會遇到潛在的財(cái)政危機(jī)。對于被要求做正式評估和投標(biāo)的小企業(yè)來說，市場供求情況有可能令人非常沮喪。評估和投標(biāo)都消耗時(shí)間、資源，而且一個(gè)小企業(yè)的投資要馬上在定貨中反映出效果，否則其士氣和財(cái)政前景都將深受影響。第二個(gè)危險(xiǎn)是有些白人企業(yè)想通過和少數(shù)民族企業(yè)合資也能享受更好的待遇。當(dāng)然，在許多時(shí)候，合資是有正當(dāng)理由的；顯然，白人和少數(shù)民族企業(yè)可以聯(lián)合起來做成任何一方都無法單獨(dú)完成的事業(yè)。但是人權(quán)組織和少數(shù)民族企業(yè)主已經(jīng)向議會報(bào)怨：少數(shù)民族企業(yè)常在合資中成為白人操縱者的前臺傀儡，而不是平等的合作伙伴。第三，已獲得一個(gè)大客戶的生意的少數(shù)民族企業(yè)常會有陷入依賴性的危險(xiǎn)。即使在最好的環(huán)境下，來自更大、更完備的對手的競爭常使一個(gè)小企業(yè)很難擴(kuò)展自己的客戶；當(dāng)這樣的企業(yè)已擁有來自一個(gè)客戶的近乎穩(wěn)定的定貨時(shí)，它們確實(shí)需要和眼前的勝利所滋生出的自滿做斗爭。SAMPLE2生物學(xué)類題目序號題型歸類第1題審題定位題型第2題句間關(guān)系題型第3題審題定位題型第4題歸納推導(dǎo)題型第5題段落結(jié)構(gòu)題型Thefossilremainsofthefirstflyingvertebrates,thepterosaurs,haveintriguedpaleontologistsformorethantwocenturies.Howsuchlargecreatures,whichweighedinsomecasesasmuchasapilotedhang-gliderandhadwingspansfrom8to12meters,solvedtheproblemsofpoweredflight,andexactlywhatthesecreatureswere5reptilesorbirdsareamongthequestionsscientistshavepuzzledover.Perhapstheleastcontroversialassertionaboutthepterosaursisthattheywerereptiles.Theirskulls,pelvises,andhindfeetarereptilian.Theanatomyoftheirwingssuggeststhattheydidnotevolveintotheclassofbirds.Inpterosaursagreatlyelongatedfourthfingerofeachforelimbsupportedawinglikemembrane.Theotherfingerswereshortandreptilian,withsharpclaws.Inbirdsthesecondfingeristheprincipalstrutofthewing,whichconsistsprimarilyoffeathers.Ifthepterosaurswalkedonallfours,thethreeshortfingersmayhavebeenemployedforgrasping.Whenapterosaurwalkedorremainedstationary,thefourthfinger,andwithitthewing,couldonlyturnupwardinanextendedinvertedVshapealongeachsideoftheanimalsbody.Thepterosaursresembledbothbirdsandbatsintheiroverallstructureandproportions.Thisisnotsurprisingbecausethedesignofanyflyingvertebrateissubjecttoaerodynamicconstraints.Boththepterosaursandthebirdshavehollowbones,afeaturethatrepresentsasavingsinweight.Inthebirds,however,thesebonesarereinforcedmoremassivelybyinternalstruts.Althoughscalestypicallycoverreptiles,thepterosaursprobablyhadhairycoats.T.H.Huxleyreasonedthatflyingvertebratesmusthavebeenwarm-bloodedbecauseflyingimpliesahighrateofmetabolism,whichinturnimpliesahighinternaltemperature.Huxleyspeculatedthatacoatofhairwouldinsulateagainstlossofbodyheatandmightstreamlinethebodytoreducedraginflight.Therecentdiscoveryofapterosaurspecimencoveredinlong,dense,andrelativelythickhairlikefossilmaterialwasthefirstclearevidencethathisreasoningwascorrect.Effortstoexplainhowthepterosaursbecameairbornehaveledtosuggestionsthattheylaunchedthemselvesbyjumpingfromcliffs,bydroppingfromtrees,orevenbyrisingintolightwindsfromthecrestsofwaves.Eachhypothesishasitsdifficulties.Thefirstwronglyassumesthatthepterosaurshindfeetresembledabatsandcouldserveashooksbywhichtheanimalcouldhanginpreparationforflight.Thesecondhypothesisseemsunlikelybecauselargepterosaurscouldnothavelandedintreeswithoutdamagingtheirwings.Thethirdcallsforhighwavestochannelupdrafts.Thewindthatmadesuchwaveshowever,mighthavebeentoostrongforthepterosaurstocontroltheirflightonceairborne.1.ItcanbeinferredfromthetextthatscientistnowgenerallyagreethattheAenormouswingspanofthepterosaursenabledthemtoflygreatdistances.Bstructureoftheskeletonofthepterosaurssuggestsacloseevolutionaryrelationshiptobats.Cfossilremainsofthepterosaursrevealhowtheysolvedtheproblemofpoweredflight.Dpterosaurswerereptiles.2.Theauthorviewstheideathatthepterosaursbecameairbornebyrisingintolightwindscreatedbywavesas6Arevolutionary.Bunlikely.Cunassailable.Dprobable.3.Accordingtothetext,theskeletonofapterosaurcanbedistinguishedfromthatofabirdbytheAsizeofitswingspan.Bpresenceofhollowspacesinitsbones.Canatomicoriginofitswingstrut.Dpresenceofhooklikeprojectionsonitshindfeet.4.TheideasattributedtoT.H.Huxleyinthetextsuggestthathewo
