1>Whatdoteachersthinkaboutteachingtothemandatedstatetest?

A、Itiscommonlyrecognized.

Itiscuriouslycontroversial.

C、Ithasbeenexceptionallyeffective.

D^Ithasbeeninadequatelydeveloped.

標準答案：A

知識點解析：第1段末句中的openly和proudly表明教師普遍接受應試教育的模

式，由此可見，A為本題答案。B中的curiously與第2段首句中的curious為同族

詞，但第2段首句是作者的觀點，而且B中的controversial沒有原文依據，教師對

應試教育的看法比較一致，不存在爭議，因此B不正確；原文除了第1段末句指

出教師對應試教育模式的看法外，其他都是作者的觀點，因此，C和D均無原文

依據。

2、Asitisindicatedinthesecondparagraph,theauthorfindsitstrangethat

A、skillsaredeterminedbeforetestsareset.

B、testsarcusedtoassessstudents'skills.

C、testsrestricttheskillsnecessaryforstudents.

D^skillsareconsolidatedbytakingtests.

標準答案：C」

知識點解析：第2段最后三句分別以First,Then,Finally開頭，表明在教育的過

程中測試和技巧的順序，由此順序可見，C是正確的說法。A與第2段最后三句提

到的順序相反，囚此不正確；B和D都是作者眼中正常的教育程序。使作者覺得

奇怪的應為與此相反的看法，因此這兩個選項不符合題意。

3、Accordingtothethirdparagraph,"thisfundamentalconfusion"referstothefactthat

A、thebasicofskillshavebeendiscussedtoomuch.

B、atestofaskillhasbeenequatedwithacquiringtheskill.

C>thenatureandqualityofwhatistaughtarerarelyconcerned.

D、skillsdonotdevelopbybeingtaughttotaketests.

標準答案：B

知識點解析：根據題干中的“thisfundamentalconfbsion”定位到第3段末句c該句中

的this表明該詞組的所指應該在上一句提到，B是對第3段倒數第2句的近義改

寫，因此為本題答案。

4、Thecrisisofcomprehensionismostprobablyresultedfrom

A、students5insufficientphonicandgrammarskills.

B、teachingthattakesupmuchofstudents'freetime.

C>teachingthatemphasizesdetailsratherthanthewhole.

D、students,incompetenceinthinkingaboutwhattheyread.

標準答案：D'

知識點解析：最后一段第3句和末句反復強調了學生沒有時間think,因此D為本

題答案。本題最具干擾性的是C,最后一段最后三句也提到了學生不能懂得所讀資

料的大意，但末句提到這是因為學生過于關注分數而沒有時間關注大意，并非因為

老師教導他們無須關注大意，因此C不正確。A中的phonicandgrammarskills在最

后一段首句提及，但insufficienl這一信息沒有原文依據；該段末句提到nolime

時，指出的是學生沒有時間思考，B斷章取義，不正確。

5、Accordingtothenarrator,Scoresbypassedtheexamsbecauseof

A、thenarrator'shelp.

Scoresby'sgoodluck.

C、Scoresby'shardwork.

D、theteachers5kindness.

標準答案：B

知識點解析：第4段倒數第2句中的lucky以及該段最后一句和第5段末尾的

miracle都表明作者認為Scores—by是因為運氣好才能考試及格，因此本題應選

Bo文章反復提到作者幫助Scoresby,但也多次提到作者認為Scoresby笨到無可救

藥，由此可見，光靠作者的幫助或老師的仁慈，Scoresby是不可能考試及格的，由

此可將最具干擾性的A和D排除。

6、ThenarratordecidedtohelpScoresby

A、sothatScoresbywouldnotloseallhisconfidence.

B、sothatScoresbycouldstayatschoolaslongaspossible,

C、becausethenarratorregardedScoresbyashisownchild,

D、becausethenarratordidn'twanttoseethestudentslagbehind.

標準答案：B

知識點解析：第2段第1句表明作者不想Scoresby被逐出學校，所以他決定盡力

幫助Scoresby以使他能待在學校，由此可見，本題應選B。C試圖利用第5段第1

句提到的mother,child等詞混淆實現，該句只是一個比喻的說法，作者并沒有真

的把Scoresby看作自己的孩子，因此排除C；A、D無原文依據。

7、WhatdidthenarratorthinkaboutScoresby?

A、Scoresbywouldnevergetoverhisstupidity.

Scoresbywouldhaveapromisingfuture.

C、Scoresby7sstupiditywouldbecompensatedbyhardwork.

D、Scoresby'sfailureshouldbeattributedtohislaziness.

標準答案：A

知識點解析：全文提及作者對Scoresby的多次幫助，但每次幫助之后，作者又覺

得Scoresby還是靠運氣才通過了考試，可見作者覺得Scoresby無法變聰明，因此

本題應選A。文章最后一句表明作者對Scoresby畢業(yè)后的前途并不看好，B與此觀

點相反：C中的hardwork和D中的laziness均沒有原文依據。

8、Thenarratorfeltguiltyabout

A、beingunabletohelpScoresbytobesmart.

B、indulgingScoresby'sstupidity.

C、enablingScoresbytostayinschool.

D、makingScoresbyarrogant.

標準答案：C

知識點解析：從文章開頭到倒數第2段講的都是作者如何幫助Scoresby,讓他盡可

能地留在學校里，最終Scoresby也真撐到了畢業(yè)，作者對造成這樣的結果感到內

疚，害怕有朝一日會害了Scoresby,由此可見，本題應選C。

9、The"firstrealtest"forScoresbywouldmostprobablybe

A、hisfirsttalkwithhissupervisor.

B、hisfirstservicetothecommunity.

C、hisfirstjobinterview.

D、hisfirsttaskasasoldier.

標準答案：D

知識點解析：第1段首句中的militaryacademy表明Scoresby就讀的是一間軍校，

畢業(yè)后會當士兵，由此可推斷，作者認為Scoresby畢業(yè)當兵后執(zhí)行第一次任務會

毀掉他，因此，本題應選D。

10、Bysaying"Laborinouraims",theLaborPartyintendedto

A、becometherulingpartyofBritain.

R、carryoutasocialreforminBritain.

C、attachimportancetothelaborforce.

D、improvetheworkingpeople'swelfare.

標準答案：B

知識點解析：根據題干中的“Laborinouraims”定位到第1段。將該段第3句開頭的

That'swhatwemean與開頭兩句的內容結合起來就可以推斷本題應選B。從第2段

可以知道這篇文章是工黨已經成為執(zhí)政黨之后發(fā)表的，A不正確；C中的labor

force和D中的workingpeople都試圖與題干中的Labor扯上關系，但第1段并沒有

提到labor與這些有關。

11>Withfar-reachingreforms,itisexpectedthatwillbecomemoreopenand

secure.

A、theinterestrates

B、theBankofEngland

C、thefinancialsystem

D、thebattleagainstinflation

標準答案：C

知識點解析：本題實際上考查第4段末句中代詞it的所指，分析該句可以知道it就

是句中的financialsystem,因此本題應選Co

12、"they"inthelastsentenceofthe6thparagraphmostprobablyrefersto

A、EducationAuthorities.

R、Teachers,unions.

C、teachers.

D、schools.

標準答案：D

知識點解析：第6段末句中的they代指前一句末尾的publicservices,結合該段關

于“教育”的話題可以推斷publicservices在該段特指“學校”，因此本題應選D。原

文該句中的被動語態(tài)可以首先幫助排除Co其他兩個選項都不屬于public

serviceso

13、WhatisNOTthepurposeoftheWelfaretoWorkprogramme?

A^Todecreasethenumberofpeopleonbenefit.

B、Toenabletheunemployedtogetsomeskill.

C、Toenhancethequalityofserviceslikechildcare.

D^Toreducethejoblesspeople'srelianceonwelfare.

標準答案：C

知識點解析：第7段第5句中的分詞結構giving...表明WelfareloWork這一計

劃的作用是為了讓靠領救濟金生活的人掌握生活技能，找到工作，從而不用再領救

濟金。從這個角度來看，C符合題意。

14、WhatistheLaborPartydeterminedtodowitlicrimes?

A^Thegovernmentwillbemoretolerantwithcertainkindsofcrimes.

B、Offenders'rehabilitationwillbecomethegovernment'spriority.

C、Parentswillbepunishedfbrtheirchildren'sjuvenileoffending.

D^Allpossiblemeasureswillbetakentofightagainstcrimes.

標準答案：D

知識點解析：第8段第5句中的關鍵詞是beardown,意為“擊倒”，而該句中的in

allways表明政府會采取“所有”措施打擊罪案，因此本題應選D。A中的tolerant看

起來與bear詞義相關，但beardown不能分開理解，因此A根本沒有原文依據；B

中的rehabilitation在第8段末句有提及，但該句沒有提及這是政府的priority：第8

段第2句只表明“在某些情況下“家長要為孩子的非法行為負責任，可見C的說法過

于絕對。

15、IntheUK,powerwillbedelegatedto

A、thelocalgovernments.

B、thecentralgovernment.

C^therulingparty.

D、theconstitution.

標準答案：A

知識點解析：第9段首句表明工黨政府決定將中央權力下放到地方政府，該句中

devolving的意思是“移交”,decentralising意為"（權力）下放”,根據tothenationsand

regionsoftheUKandrevitalizing（使恢復元氣）localgovernment可以直接選A。

16、Theauthorsetsupthestandardofoverweightpeoplebasedonthefactthat

A>thenumberofoverweightpeoplehasastonishinglyincreased.

B、peoplehaveadifferentideaabouttheirdesirableweightnow.

C、overweightbecomesathreattopeople'shealth.

D、theoverweightproblemhaslongbeenstudied.

標準答案：B

知識點解析：作者在第2段第2句定義了超重的概念，雖然沒有明確指出為什么要

以超出20%為標準，但是從下一句中的插入成分even...可以推斷，以前并非

以20%為超重的標準的，現在以此為標準是因為人們對理想體重的標準改變了，

因此B為本題答案。關于超重的標準，原文只有第2段第2、3句有涉及，因此，

雖然A和C的內容在原文中都有提及，但都與超重的標準無關；而D中的long無

原文依據。

17、Bysaying"Soaretheattendanthealthrisks'1,theauthormeans

A、Americasuffershealthrisksaswellastheoverweightproblem.

B、healthrisksresultingfromoverweightareserioustoo.

C、overweightisclassifiedasoneofthehealthproblems.

D^peoplehavealsopaidmuchattentiontothepossiblehealthrisks.

標準答案：B

知識點解析：本題考點是一個倒裝句，關鍵是理解其中的so和attendant的意思。

第2段主要指出肥胖問題很嚴重，可以推斷本句中的so指的是thehealthrisks也很

嚴重。從第3段第2句中的...hasbeenlinkedto…表明超重造成各種健康問題，該

旬是對前一句的進一步解釋.由此可推斷本段首句中的theattendanthealthrisks可

理解為“超重造成對健康的危害”，結合這兩點的理解，可推斷B為本題答案。

18、WhatdoesWilliamDietzthinkofoverweight?

A^Overweightshouldbetreatedasapublichealthproblem.

B、Overweightshouldbeattributedtogluttonyandsloth.

C^Overweighthasmuchtodowithnutritionalproblems.

D、Overweighthasnothingtodowiththeoveruseofcars.

標準答案：A

知識點解析：第5段首句是WilliamDietz對肥胖癥的看法，句中的obesilyasa

publichealthproblem表明Dietz認為肥胖癥是一個公共健康問題，因此A為本題答

案。B是公眾對肥胖癥的看法，并非Dietz的看法；原文只有第5段是關于Dietz

的看法，C、D都不能在第5段找到依據。

19>MostAmericansbelievethat

A、theoverweightproblemhascostthenationmuch,

obesityisrelatedtoone'sphysicalconditions.

C^peoplewhoareoverv/eightareunfortunate.

D、gluttonyandslotharetwodeadlysins.

標準答案：D

知識點解析：第6段末句的twoofthesevendeadlysins指的就是該段第3句提到的

gluttonyandsloth.由此可見，D為本題答案。根據第6段首句可知A是作者的看

法；B是第6段第4句提及的內容。也是作者的看法；C是對第6段倒數第2句開

頭的someunfortunateoverweightpeople的曲解，而且這也不是大多數美國人的想

法。

20、Inordertosolvetheoverweightproblem,theauthorsuggeststhateveryoneneedto

A、betaughttopreventgainingweight.

B、beeducatedtoloseweighteffectively.

C^seekhelpfromconsumerinformation.

D、knowwhatmakesahealthydinner.

標準答案：A

知識點解析：第7段開頭兩句表明preventinggain的做法比較可行，而第8段末句

表明education很重要，結合這兩點，可推斷A為本題答案。

A、inspiringchildren'spassionforlearning

inspiringworkers5passionfbrtheirjob

C、relievingemployeesfromworkpressure

D、relievingtheneedfbrcertainjobtraining

標準答案：C

知識點解析：第2段第5句中的for引出的就是這些公司開發(fā)電子游戲的目的，定

語從句里的offersanantidotetothestress表明電子游戲結合了學習的功能后，能幫

助員工減輕壓力，C就是對這個內容的同義改寫，為本題答案。

A、promotiondoesn'ttaketrainingintoaccount

B、managersserveasabadmodelfortraining

C、itismoreandmoredifficulttogetapromotion

D、game-basede-learningisthemoreupdatedtrend

標準答案：A

知識點解析：第2段第6句開頭的Nowthat…引出的從句表明現在升職加薪的機會

都掌握在上司手里，這也就暗示著員工就算花時間去接受培訓提升自己，也不能影

響升職加薪，這與A的內容最接近，因此A為本題答案。

3、Inacoat-and-tieculture,peopletendtodemand.

A^thatgamesbecustom-designed

B、dialgainusandsimuldlioiisbuuliuap

C、higherbudgetlorin-classroomtraining

D^pragmatismandproventechnology

標準答案：D

知識點解析:根據題干中的coal-and-tieculture定位到第3段第1、6句。culturenJ

以理解為“人們崇尚的東西”，而第6句中的…⑹etheday表明現在人們崇尚的是

Pragmatismandproventechnology,由此可見，本題應選D。

4、Inthispassage,theaulhuiregardsuniversitiesprimarilyas.

A、aneducationalinstitution

aresearchinstitution

C>acommunalcomponent

D、asocialcomponent

標準答案：B

知識點解析：第1段第5句中的thetraditionalresearchuniversities表明本文討論的

話題圍繞科研型的大學，接下來的討論也是圍繞大學應如何保持資金和科研之間的

平衡，可見，本文作者關注的是“科研”的問題，因比。本題應選B。

5、Whatproblemsdothepublicuniversitiesinthewesternworldhavetoface

nowadays?

A^Theirstrengthandvitalityhavebeendraining.

B、Thegovernmenthaskeptreducingresearchfunds.

C、Theirfundingismainlyfromcommercialagencies.

D^Theyhavetopreventbrain-drainwithlimitedfunds.

標準答案：D

知識點解析：根據題干中的publicuniversities定位到第2段第1句。該句提到了兩

個問題：lackoffunds和adrainingofstrengthandvilalityoD將這兩點綜合了在一

起，故為答案。雖然第2段最后一句提到brain-drain已威脅到了manycountries,
