A^scienceisconcernedaboutthenaturalworld

B、technologyis(heresultofappliedscience

C>ascientistisacultivatorofscience

標準答案：D

知識點解析:A對應(yīng)第一段第一句：Scienceisacumulativebodyofknowledgeabout

thenaturalworld.B對應(yīng)該段第三句:Technologyisthefruitofappliedscience.C

對應(yīng):Weneedanametodescribeacultivatorofscienceingeneral.Ishouldbeinclined

tocallhimascientist.兩句。最后兩句暗示在追求科學(xué)的過程中，科學(xué)探索是不可

缺少的。

22>Whichofthefollowingisthemostimportantinthestepsinthescientificmethod?

A、Collectingandorganisingthefacts.

Statingahypothesis.

C、restingthehypothesis,

D、Publishingthetheory.

標準答案：C

知識點解析：第七段談到進行科學(xué)研究的最后一個步驟是通過實踐來檢驗理論，而

且這個步驟是最重要的(Thisisessential),因此應(yīng)選C。

23WhichofthefollowingquestionsmighttheCuriesNOTaskintheirinvestigations?

A^Whatwasradiationexactly?

B、Whatmaterialsmighthaveradioactivity?

C、Howcouldmanavoidpowerfulradioactivity?

D、Howstrongistheradioactivityofradium?

標準答案：c

知識點謁析：此題可用排除法。在文章第二、第四、第六段Curies夫婦分別提到

A、B、D中的問題，唯獨沒有提出人類如何避開強大的放射現(xiàn)象，因此選C。

24、WhathappenedinscientificcirclesaftertheCurieshadcompletedthefinalstep?

A^Scientistsuseddeductivereasoningtotesttheirinvestigations,

B、Scientistswereconcernedwithprobabilityintheirinvestigations.

C、Scientistsreadtheirreportsandexaminedtheirinvestigations.

D^Scientistswerecriticaloftheirinvestigations.

標準答案：C

知識點點析：倒數(shù)第二段談到進行科學(xué)研究的最后一個步驟是檢驗理論。文章倒數(shù)

第二句又談到Curies夫婦發(fā)表報告后，其報告立即被全世界的科舉家檢驗，慶此

應(yīng)選C。

25、Themaindifferencebetweennaturalandartificialselectionisthathuman

beings.

A、controlthedirectionofartificialselection

B、controlthedirectionofnaturalselection

C、makenewgenesinartificialselection

D、makenewgenesinnaturalselection

標準答案：A

知識點解析：根據(jù)natural和artificial兩個詞的意思以及第一段舉的例子，我們可

以推斷出兩者主要的差別在于人類有否干預(yù)。人類干預(yù)的即是人工選擇，因此A

為正確答案。

26、WhichofthefollowingstatementsisNOTtrue?

Membersofaspeciesdifferfromoneanother.

B、Alldifferencesbetweenindividualsarcinherited.

C、Twoorganismswithidenticalgenesmaygrowtodifferentsizes.

D^Notalloftheorganismscanlivetoreproduce.

標準答案：B」

知識點解析：參見第三段括號內(nèi)的話：Olherdifferencesarenotinherited,butare

causedbydifferentenvironments.也就是有些個體間的差異不受遺傳影響，而是與

不同的環(huán)境有關(guān)，因此B錯誤。

27Whatwouldhappentoinheritedcharacteristicsinthenextgenerationintheprocess

ofnaturalselection?

A、Inheritedcharacteristicsthatdecreaseanorganism'schancesoflivingand

reproducingwillbemorecommon.

B、Inheritedcharacteristicsthatincreaseanorganism'schancesoflivingand

reproducingwillbelesscommon.

C^Inheritedcharacteristicsthatincreaseanorganism'schancesoflivingand

reproducingwillremainthesame.

D、Inheritedcharacteristicsthatdecreaseanorganism'schancesoflivingand

reproducingwillbelesscommon.

標準答案：D

知識點解析：第五段第一句的意思是：能提高一個生物生存和繁殖機會的遺傳特征

將在該生物的下一代更常見，而那些減少其繁殖機會的遺傳特征則更少見。這與D

的意思一致，因此選D。

28、Inthesectionof"Winners",theauthors'objectiveisto

A、convincethereaderthatwinningisimportant

B、describethenatureofwinningandachieving

C、statethecharacteristicsofawinningperson.

D、explainhowtobeav/inner

標準答案：C

知識點解析：“Winners”一節(jié)共由五段組成。每一段的第一句都是該段的主題句。

作者在這一節(jié)詳細描述了成功者所具備的五個特征：潛在能力、獨立思考及辨別能

力、應(yīng)變能力、即可以及時享樂也能推遲享樂和關(guān)心世界及其大眾。因此應(yīng)選C。

29、Whichofthefollowingcharacterizeslosers?

Loserstendtopostponeenjoymentandnottodisciplinethemselves.

B、Loserstendtorestraintheirloveandcaring.

C、Loserstendtogiveupsomeofthetechniqueswhichtheydeveloptocopewithbad

experiences.

D、Losersaresoafraidtotrynewthingsthattheyoftenchangetheirplanstosuitthe

situation.

標準答案：B

知識點解析：從上一題我們已得知推遲享樂是成功者的五個特征之一，所以A不

正確。第三段最后一句"Aloserhangsontothem"中的"hangsonto”與C中的giveup

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

思是“他維持現(xiàn)狀”，所以D不正確。第五段第一句：Aloserhasdifficultygiving

andreceivingaffection.與B意思相近。B是正確答案。

30、Changingone's"losingstreak'1means.

A、doingtransactionalanalysis

B、becomingmorelikeawinner

C^learningnewpsychologicalapproaches

D、gettingridofbadhabits

標準答案：B

知識點解析：倒數(shù)第四段第一句中：Whenapersonwantstodiscoverandchange

histllosingstreak”和whenhewantstobecomemorelikethewinnerhewasborntobe是

并列關(guān)系的從句。從第二個從句可推斷出changehis4llosingstreak”的意思是

“becomemorelikethewinnerhewasborntobe"，即更像成功者，因此應(yīng)選Bo

31、Thesecondsectiondescribestwopsychologicalapproaches.

A、thatcanhelplosersbecomewinners

B、thatareparticularlyhelpfulforwinners

C、thatcanhelponebecomeall-rounded

D、thatcanhelpdistinguishawinnerfromaloser

標準答案：A-

知識點解析：倒數(shù)第四段第一句指出，一個想從失敗變?yōu)槌晒Φ娜丝梢試L試蓋式實

驗(gesiak-typeexperiment)和交流分析(transactionalanalysis)o反過來說，這兩種心

理方法可幫助失敗者擺脫困境，走向成功，因此A為正確答案。

GivenShakespeare'spopularityasanactorandaplaywrightandhisconspicuous

32、WhatdistinguishesShakespearefromtheotherEnglishdramatistswhoalsoused

well-knownEnglishhistoryandoldlegendsassources?

A、Hisrecreationoffamiliartales.

B、Hiscompetenceinforeignlanguages.

C、Hisownexperienceasanactor.

D^HisRoeticpassion:

標準答案：A

知識點解析：本文第二段談到Shakespeare的與眾不同之處在于：Herearranged

familiartalcswithanextraordinarygiftfordrama,...因此應(yīng)該選A。

33、WhomighttestifythatitwasShakespearewhowrotetheplays?

A、Themystery-authortheorists.

B、FrancisBacon.

C、Theatreowners.

D、Theatregoersandtheactors.

標準答案：C

知識點解析：第三段提到一些人的質(zhì)疑：Shakespeare戲劇是否真的出自他本人之

手?該段最后一句，作者給出了肯定的答案：不僅BenJonson而且劇院老板和演員

們都能證實的確是Shakespeare寫了這些劇本。因此正確答案是C。D不對，因為

文章沒有提及看戲的人(Theatre-goers)。

34、AllofthefollowingstatementsaretrueEXCEPT.

A^Shakespearereceivedlittleformalhighereducation.

B、Shakespearecouldremainobjectivewheninterpretinghumanpassions.

C、Shakespearehadathoroughunderstandingofthenatureofhumanbehaviour.

D、Shakespeare'sdramawasspokenhighlyofbySamuelJohnson.

標準答案：D」..

知識點解析：第三段第一句的意思是：一個受過極少教育的人如何能創(chuàng)作出這些著

作呢?這與A對應(yīng)。第五段最后一句的前半句(Hiscoolobjectivityinrenderinghuman

passions)意思指Shakespeare表達人物情感時的客觀冷靜，與B對應(yīng)。第四段笫四

句談至UShakespeare的確能“讀懂”人類行為的本質(zhì)(andShakespearecertainly^read^the

natureofhumanbehaviour),與C對應(yīng)。正確答案只能是D,因為第五段最后一行

談到SamuelJohnson批評Shakespeare的寫作“沒有任何道德觀念”(SamuelJohnson

chastisedShakespearefbrwriting4twithoutanymoralpurpose"),而D中wasspoken

highlyof的意思是被高度贊揚。

35、WhatiscommonamongthecharactersinShakespeare'sdrama?

A、Theyreflectthepeopleinrealityaswellasinhisdreams.

B、Theyoftenhavetomakehardchoicesastowhattodo.

C、Theyarecaughtintheconflictofemotionsandfeelashamedof(hcmsclves.

D、Alloftheabove.

標準答案：B

知識點解析：文章最后一句：，..aparadeofcharacterscaught,...andthe

paradoxesofhumandilemmas.暗示Shakespeare劇本中的人物常常處于兩難的境

地、面臨著決擇，而A和C只有前半句表述正確，因此B是正確答案，

Thesenseofhonourappearstobedying.Whofightsdue
