21、WhydoJapaneseathletessaysorrytothepublic?

A、Theythinktheirfailuresarewrappedupwithasenseofnationalidentity.

B、Theythinktheirfailuresareduetocarelessness.

C、TheyhaveactedstupidlyintheOlympic.

D^TheyhavelostthechanceofafatendorsementcontractwiththeAmericans.

標準答案：A

知識點解析：該題問：為什么日本的運動員對公眾說對不起?從文中的第一段

中...herperformancewasconsideredespeciallysignificantforthefortunesofthenation

可以得出答案為A項（他們認為他們的失敗與國家的尊嚴糾纏在一起）。B項意為

“他們認為他們的失敗歸咎于粗心“，這跟公眾道歉無關，這是他們自己的事，故不

選。C項意為“他們在奧林匹克上的行為很愚蠢”，這也跟公眾道歉無關。D項意為

“他們失去了與美日的一筆數額龐大的贊助資金”，比項在原文中并沒有提及，原文

的第二段提到的是ButwhereasfailuretowingoldmightcostAmericansafat

endorsementcontract,forJapaneseadisappointingperformanceisevenmore

disastrous,asindividualfailureissomehowwrappedupwithasenseofnational

idenlily.（在美國，未獲金牌意味著一筆數額自大的贊助資金的流失。而對日本人

來說，同樣令人失望的表現結果卻嚴重得多。因為個人的勝負常常會與國家的尊嚴

糾纏在一起。）

22、Whatdotheexamplesinpara,3&4mean?

Japaneseathletesaretooambitious.

B、Olympicgamesdomoreharmthangood.

C、ThepeculiarJapanesecultureshouldbereplaced.

D^Japaneseathletesregardtheirfailuresastheirnationaldisgraceareundergreat

pressure.

標準答案：D

知識點解析：該題問：第三、四段的例子意味著什么?從第三段的Youfeelasif

everyoneinJapanfeelsashamedofyou和第四段的hesaid,“Icommittedan

inexcusablemistakeinfrontoftheJapanesepeople.Ihavetobegtheirpardonby

runningandhoistingtheHinomamfnationalflag]inMexico中可以看出D項（認為他們

的失敗是他們國家的羞恥的運動員處于極大的壓力下）是正確的。A項意為“日木的

運動員太有野心”，不是本文的主旨。B項意為“奧林匹克運動帶來的危害大于益

處”，這也是錯誤的判斷。C項意為“古怪的日本文化應該被取代”，這也不是本文

的主旨。

23、Whoisnotresponsibleforthepressure?

A^Themedia.

B、TheJapaneseculture.

C、ThegeneralaltitudeoftheJapanesepopulation.

D^Thesportsmanship.

標準答案：D

知識點解析：該題問：誰應該對壓力負責？A項意為“媒體”，文中第五段中指出

Themediaarepartlyresponsibleforthepressure...,所以A項不正確。B項意為“日本

文化”，文中沒有提及。C項意為“日本群眾的整體杰度”，第五段也指出The

media...reflectthegeneralattitudesofthepopulation.Andthenation'sfansdon'tseem

tobehavingmuchfun,(heygotthereandactedlikethecheeringwascompulsory；

Theydidn'tseemtoreallyenjoythegame。從這這么多地方可以看出C項也不正

確。D項意為“體育道德”。排除了A、B、C后，D為正確選項。

24、Whatdoesthelastparagraphimply?

A、NoJapaneseathletecanreallyfeelrelaxed.

B、Japanesepublicneverfeelcontentwiththeperformanceoftheirathletes.

C、AgoldmedalinJapanisnotthesymbolofvictory.

D、TheJapanesemediahavequitehighexpectationsontheathletes.

標準答案：A-

知識點解析：該型問：最后一段有什么含義？A項意為“沒有日本運動員能真正感

到放松的“，最后一段第一句Sadly,evenwhenanathletelivesuptoexpectations,

thedemandingdrum-heatfbrvictorydoesn'tccasc及ItwashissecondOlympic

victory,butNomurahadlittlechancetosavorthemoment.Whatabout2004?從這幾

處地方可以看出A項是正確的。B項意為“H本公眾從來沒有對他們的運動員的表

現滿意過”，文中并沒有提及。C項意為“在日本一枚金牌并不是成功的象征”，這

在文中并也沒有提及。D項意為“日本媒體對運動員們有很高的期望”，這句話是對

的，但本段的主旨并非如此。

25、Thewriterfelt"iiiatease"because.

A^theproceedingsseemedinappropriatetotheoccasion

B、hewasafraidthatthecontestantswouldbecomeviolent

C、hefeltthatnoprogresswaslikelytobemade

D^hewasnotaccustomedtosuchstupidity.

標準答案：A

知識點解析：該題問：作者感到不自在，這是因為什么？A項意為“程序好象對這

個場合來說不是那么合適”，文中的第一、二段的描述證明A項是正確的。B項意

為“他擔心競爭者會變得兇暴”，這不是作者的主旨，C項“他感到不會有什么送展

了“，文中并沒有提及和暗示。D項意為“他對這樣的愚蠢覺得不習慣”，文中亦無

暗示。

26、Sabridismissedthewomanbecause.

A、hehadhadenoughoftheargument

B、hewantedtoshowhisdisgustatthesuggestedprice

C、hewantedtogivetheimpressionthathehadlostallinterestinthesale

D、hewantedtimetothinkthematterover

標準答案：C

知識點解析：該題問：Sabri讓這個婦女離開是因為什么？A項意為“他已爭論得足

夠了”，顯然再多的爭論都不算多，A項不正確。B項意為“他想要顯示出他對這個

建議的價格的厭惡”，文中并沒有提及他對價格的厭惡，故B項也不正確。C項意

為“他想要給出一種印象即他在這樁買賣中無任何利益而言"，這是Sabri的談判技

巧，從文中的后半部分即可知Sabri只是要減低房價，所以C項為正確選項。D項

意為“他想要時間再把這件事考慮一下”，顯然他早已盤算清楚了，此項不正確。

27、Whydoesthemanbringhiswifeback?

A、Hehassuggestedsomenewargumentstoher.

B>Heisveryanxioustosellthehouse.

C>Heisafraidshemighthaveoffendedapotentialbuyer.

D^Hewantshertocontinuetonegotiateonhisbehalf.

標準答案：D

知識點解析：該題問：這個男人為什么又把他的妻子帶回來了？A項意為“他已經

設想了——些與她新的爭論”，文中沒有提及。B項意為“他非常著急地想賣掉房

子”，文中沒有提到。C項意為“他擔心她會惹惱了一一位潛在的買主”，文中亦沒

有提到。D項意為“他想要她繼續代表他談判”，買者與賣者之間無非是一一方想要

壓低價，另一方想要抬高價，因此一切爭論都是圍繞價格而來的，所以D項為正

確選項。

28、Themainthemeofthepassageis.

A、apsychologicalanalysisofthepeopleinvolved

B、anaccountofthesuccessivestagesinvolvedinhousepurchase

C^Sabri'stechniqueinreducingthepriceofthehouse

D、alight-heartedstudyofbargainingtechniquesingeneral

標準答案：c

知識點謁析：該題問：這篇文章的主題是什么？A項意為“是對這些人的心理分

析”，這不是文章的主旨。B項意為“對這個房子購買的一個連續的敘述〕這并沒

有講出文章的精髓所在。C項意為“Sabri的壓低這個房子的價格的技巧”，這是文

章的主旨，為正確選項，整篇文章都是圍繞Sabri怎樣用技巧使房價壓低展開的。

D項意為“對討價還價技巧大致的一個研究”，顯然這個說法太籠統了。

A、demand500,000poundsfortheGuildfordFour

B、demand500,000poundsforeachoftheGuildfordFour

C、demand50,000poundsforeachoftheGuildfordFour

D、demandareexaminationoftheBirminghampubbombings

標準答案：B

知識點解析：該題問：為了補償誤判，被告律師可以怎樣做?A項意為“要求對the

GuildfordFour賠償500.000英磅”，此項文中并沒有提到。B項意為“要求對the

GuildfordFour的每一位各賠償50,000英磅”，這在文中第二段的最后一句中可以

看出Inthemeantime,defencelawyersaredemandingcompensationandhavein

mindabouthalfamillionpoundsforeachoftheirclients,故B項為正確選項。C項意

為“要求對theGuildfordFour的每一位成員賠償50,000pounds"，顯然這并不是

halfamillion,故為錯誤選項。D項意為“要求對伯明翰的酒吧爆炸重新審查”,這

顯然是另一個案子，故些項不正確。

30、Whywasthereareneweddemandforthere-examinationofthecaseagainstthe

BirminghamSix?

A、TheBirminghamSixwerebelievedtohavecriminalconnectionswiththeGuildford

Four.

B、Thetwocasesweresimilarinthatbothwereaboutpubbombings.

C>ThebombingsinBirminghamhappenedatthesametime.

D、TheBirminghamSixalsoclaimedthattherewerepolicemalpracticesintheircase.

標準答案：D

知識點解析：該題問：為什么針對theBiirninghamSix的案件重新審查有新的要

求？A項意為“TheBirminghamSix被認為與theGuildfordFour有犯罪聯系”，在文

中沒有提及；B項意為“這兩個案件的相似點在于兩者都是關于酒吧爆炸案”，文中

也沒提及。C項意為“在伯明翰的爆炸案與Guildford和Woolwhich的爆炸案發生在

同一時間”，文中亦沒有提及。D項意為“TheBirminghamSix也宣稱在他們的案件

中存在著警察瀆職情況”，這在文中的第五段的最后一句中提到Thedisturbing

similarityisthattheBirminghamsix,liketheGuildfordfour,claimthatpoliceofficers

liedandfabricatedevidencetosecureaconviction,因此D項為正確選項。

31、Theexistinglawslatesthat.

takingstatementsfromaccusedpersons

D、convictionscan'tbemadeonconfessionaloneandthestatementstakenbypolice

officersfromaccusedpersonsarcvalidlegalevidence

標準答案:A

知識點解析：該題問：現存的法律陳述什么？A項意為“警員從被控人員那里取得

的陳述是有效的合法的證據”，從文中的第五、六段可以知道A項為正確選項.B

項意為“定罪不能僅僅根據供詞，當從被控人員那里取得陳述時還應有第三方在

場”，這在文中的第六段firsttomakeitimpossibletcconvictonconfessionsalone：

andsecondlytorequirethatstatementsfromaccusedpersonsshouldonlybetakeninthe

presenceofanindependentthirdpartytoensuretheyarenotmadeundercoercion可以

看出。但是這句話的前提，Therearealreadydemandsthatthelawshouldbe

changedo這只是demands,而不是現存法程，故B項亦不正確。C項意為“當有供

詞和第二方也在場的情況下從被控人員那里取得的陳述時可以定罪”，這也可從第

六段中找到，然而這也是demands,而不是現存祛律。D項意為“不能僅僅根據供

詞定罪，警察官員從被控人員那里取得的陳述是合法有效的證據”，根據第六段，

此項前半部分是錯誤的，且僅僅是demand,不是現存法律，后半部分是正確的。

32、Accordingtothearticle,whichofthefollowingpartiescontributedmosttothe

releaseoftheGuildfordFour?

A、Reporters.

B、Lawyers.

C^Thepolice.

D、Thejudiciary.

標準答案：A

知識點解析：該題問：艱據這篇文章，theGuildfordFour的釋放大部分歸功于下面

的哪一方？A項為正確選項，從文中的最后一段itwasalsobeingnotedthisweekthat

theGuildfordFourowetheirreleasemoretothepersistenceofinvestigativereporters

thantothediligenceofeitherthejudicialorthepolice可以看出。B項（律師）、C項

（警察）、D項（法官）都有其功勞，但最大的功勞還是在記者。
