C、thearchitecturalstyleoftheolderbankissuperiortothatofthemodernbank

D^prejudicemakestheoldergenerationthinkthatthemodernbankisunreliable

標準答案；B

知識點解析：主旨題。該題要求學生總結文章的主題。文章主要寫了銀行發展的兩

個方面：是銀行的外在建筑風格，過去的銀行通常有heavywalls,barred

windows以及bronzedoors,給人以非常可靠、放心踏實的感覺；二是銀行的功能

轉變。選項B正是恰當的概括，所以應該是正確答案。文章并無涉及現在和過去

對錢的價值比較，所以A項“錢不如過去值錢”不對。文章也沒有對比哪種建筑風

格更好，所以C項“過去的銀行的建筑風格比現代銀行的建筑風格更好”也不對。D

項說“偏見使得老一輩人認為現代銀行不可靠“，不符合文章意思。

標準答案：D

知識點解析：細節歸納題。問題問老一代人與年輕一代人對錢的認識態度是什么？

老一代人的看法可以從第三段開頭看出：“Inhisgenerationmoneywasthoughtofas

arealcommoditythat…”年輕一代對錢的看法可以從第四段第四行至第六行，尤其

是“…heoffersusaserviceinwhichthemostvaluableelementisthecreativityfbrthe

inventionoflargenumbers.”從上可以歸納出D項為該題的正確答案。

60、Theword"tangible"（Line2.Para.4）referstosomething.

A、thatisprecious

B>thatisusable

C>thatcanbetouched

D^thatcanbereproduced

標準答案：C

知識點解析：語義題。該題較容易，只學參閱第三段“commodity”后的定語從句

*4thatcouldbecarried,orstolen.”這實際上就是解釋老一代人對錢的看法,他們認

為錢是可以被攜帶或被偷走，也就是可以能摸得到的實實在在的東西，C項正確。

61、Accordingtothispassage,amodernbankershouldbe.

A、ambitiousandfriendly

B、reliableandpowerful

C、sensibleandimpenetrable

D、imaginativeandcreative

標準答案：D

知識點解析：細節推論題。問題問現代銀行應該具有什么功能?四選項的意思分別

是：A)“充滿雄心且友好”，B)“可靠且威力無窮、C)“明智旦不可穿越、D)“富有

想像且有創造性”。要回答這個問題，應定位在文章第四段“…inwhichthemosi

valuableelementisthecreativity”和第五段“…boastsofimaginativepowers.“從中不

難看出現代銀行應該是富有想像力并口有創造力。

62、Itcanbeinferredfromthepassagethattheauthor'sattitudetowardsthenewtrend

A、cautious

B>regretful

C、positive

D、hostile

標準答案：C

知識點解析：推論題。該題要求學生判斷作者對銀行的外在風格和功能的轉變這一

趨勢的態度。最明確的提示應該是第四段開頭“Buttheattitudetowardmoneyhas,

ofcourse,changed.”隨后進一步分析了現代銀行不同于過去銀行的功能，作者用

了“creativeimagination”，可以看出其態度是肯定的。C項正確。
