第3題【單選題】

物中可以收獲糧食，并且播種后下一個收獲季節(jié)還能產(chǎn)出更多的糧食時，就邁開

StatesofAmericaisamongthetop10countriesinthesurvey.

A、True

B^False

C、NotGiven

【正確答案】B

【答案解析】答案選B。問題句說“美國位于前十個國家的行列"。TheUS,whichhas

thesecondhighestpercapitaGDP（人均國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值）afterLuxembourg,tookthe

13thplaceinthesurvey.該句說“美國的人均國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值排名第2,僅位于盧森

堡之后，因此美國在這項調查中位于第13位。〃顯然問題句的說法與該句的說法

不一致，因此判斷問題句"錯誤"。

第6題【單選題】

擠），genderinequality,andthehighcostofliving,Irelandscoredanimpressive8.33

pointsoutof10.Q:CostoflivinginIrelandisprettyhigh.

健康機構混亂，交通擁擠，性別歧視仍然存在，生活費用高，愛爾蘭所獲得的分

數(shù)仍然給人留下了深刻的印象：滿分為十分，愛爾蘭獲得了833分〃。根據(jù)這個

句子的內(nèi)容可以知道"愛爾蘭的生活費用高"，因此問題句的說法與原文的說法一

致。
