1、Accordingtothepassage,peopleoftenwronglybelievethatinpursuingacareeras

manager.

A^aperson'spropertyordebtsdonotmattermuch

B、aperson'soutwardappearanceisnotacriticalqualification

C^womenshouldalwaysdressfashionably

D、womenshouldnotonlybeattractivebutalsohigh-minded

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：作者在文章一開始就明確提出其觀點(diǎn)：人們往往有一種誤解——外貌

對(duì)一個(gè)人擔(dān)任管理職務(wù)沒(méi)什么重要影響。接著在第2段用socialscientists的實(shí)驗(yàn)表

明：Looksdomatter,morethanmostofusrealize。B項(xiàng)正是此意。

2、Theresultofresearchcarriedoutbysocialscientistsshowthat.

A、peopledonotrealizetheimportanceoflookingone'sbest

B、womeninpursuitofmanagerialjobsarenotlikelytobepaidwell

C^good-lookingwomenaspiretomanagerialpositions

D^attractivepeoplegenerallyhaveanadvantageoverthosewhoarenot

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：作者在第2段就給出了結(jié)論，第3段、第4段用具體的實(shí)驗(yàn)情況說(shuō)明

這一結(jié)論的得出過(guò)程。D項(xiàng)就是這個(gè)結(jié)論。

3、Experimentsbyscientistshaveshownthatwhenpeopleevaluateindividualson

certainattributes.

A、theyobservetheprinciplethatbeautyisonlyskin-deep

B、theydonotusuallyactaccordingtotheviewstheysupport

C^theygiveordinary-lookingpersonsthelowestratings

D、theytendtobasetheirjudgmentontheindividual'saccomplishments

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：A項(xiàng)是socialscienlists要用實(shí)驗(yàn)來(lái)反駁的，與實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果相反，故排

除。C、D兩項(xiàng)與事實(shí)（實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果）恰好相反。根據(jù)文章可知，許多美國(guó)人認(rèn)為外貌

并不重要（第1段的內(nèi)容），以貌取人是不公正、不可靠的、非美國(guó)式的做法，但

socialscientists的實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果卻表明：他們言行并不一致（第3段開頭兩句）。B項(xiàng)正是

此意。

4、"Goodlookscutbothwaysforwomen"（LineI,Para.5）meansthat.

A^attractivewomenhavetremendouspotentialimpactonpublicjobs

BNgood-lookingwomenalwaysgetthebestofeverything

C、beingattractiveisnotalwaysanadvantageforwomen

D、goodlooksareimportantforwomenastheyareformen

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：回答依據(jù)與上題同。

6、Inthefirstparagraph,thesentence"One'sphysicalassetsandliabilitiesdon'tcount

A、people'sphysicalappearanceisnotthatcrucialinamanagerialcareer

D、youcan'trelyonyourphysicaladvantagesinamanagerialcareer

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)辨認(rèn)題。文章開頭就提到，人們的外貌特征在管理工作方面微不

足道的價(jià)值是一種誤解.考生容易被本題所誤導(dǎo)，因?yàn)檫@一命題在文章中是不正確

的。

A、doesnotexceedthatofprograms

B、isgreaterthanthatofprograms

C^variesoveralargerangethanthatofprograms

D、islessthanthatofprograms

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：選擇依據(jù)為第一段第四句“…nodifferenceexistsinthepeaksoundlevel

ofadsprogramming.”和第二段最后一句”...soundlevelsincommercialstendtostayat

omearpeaklevels.”

19>Commercialscreatethesensationofloudnessbecause.

D、theypossesssoundqualitiesthatmaketheviewerfeelthatsomethingunusualis

標(biāo)涯答案:D

知識(shí)之解析：第三段介紹了商業(yè)節(jié)目的制造者用各種技術(shù)手段使得其節(jié)目的音響效

果與眾不同,正是利用itsdramaticchangeinsoundquality,所以viewer'sattention

isimmedi-atelydrawntoit。D項(xiàng)正是此意。

A、HowTVadsvaryvocalsoundstoattractattention

howtheloudnessofTVadsisovercome

C、howadvertiserscontrolthesoundpropertiesofTVads

D、howtheattention-gettingpropertiesofsoundsaremadeuseofinTVads

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D「「

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：這是一道主旨題。本文開始就提出“為什么商業(yè)節(jié)目的聲音聽起來(lái)那

么大''這一問(wèn)題，然后作者介紹了其原因。因此D項(xiàng)正確。

23、Whydoadvertiserselectronicallyvaryvoicesoundssothattheystaywithinsucha

middlefrequencyband?

A^Becausefederalrulesforbidthepracticeofmakingadslouderthantheprogramming.

BNBecauseonemajorcontributortotheperceivedloudnessofcommercialsisthatmuch

C、Becausethehumanvoicehasmoreauditoryimpactinthemiddlefrequencyranges.

D、Becausepeoplebecomeadaptedtothetypeofsoundscomingfromprogramming,a

dramaticchangeinsoundqualitydrawsviewerattention.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)辨認(rèn)題。文章笫三段笫三句講，中等頻率的聲音對(duì)人聽覺(jué)的影響

較大，所以廣告商們就通過(guò)電流調(diào)整的方法將廣告聲音固定在中等頻率上，因此C

正確。

1、Thestatement"Americansbathezealously"(Line1,Paragraphl)isclosestto

saying.

A、Americansbathewastcfully

B、Americansareratherambivalenttobathing

C^Americansbathewithintenseenthusiasm

D^Americansbathetoomuch

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：從笫1段可知，美國(guó)人洗澡頻繁，對(duì)肥皂的消費(fèi)巨大，囚此題中該詞

應(yīng)理解為“狂熱地”。

2、Whichofthefollowingismentionedasoneofthebenefitsofbathing?

A^Dryskinsflakeswilldisappearfromthebodyonceyougetoutofthebathtub.

B、Itkillsbacteriabetterthanshowering.

C、Itreducesyourbloodcirculationifitisniceandwarm.

D^Thefloatingactioncanreducethestressonyourmuscles.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：A項(xiàng)的說(shuō)法不正確，第3段開頭講道：“在洗澡時(shí)，所有污垢和懸浮

著污垢的肥皂都浮于水面。所以當(dāng)你起身時(shí)，這些東西像一層薄膜一樣覆蓋全

身。”B項(xiàng)不正確，第2段指出：“除非使用除菌皂，否則肥皂通常不殺菌，只是把

細(xì)菌和污垢、油漬一起洗掉。”可見，洗澡和淋浴都不殺菌。C項(xiàng)不正確，第2段

同時(shí)指出：洗澡能“減少循環(huán)系統(tǒng)對(duì)血流的阻力，慢慢地降低血壓”，說(shuō)明洗澡可增

加血液循環(huán)。只有D項(xiàng)正確，因?yàn)榈?段指出：“在洗澡水中四肢微微浮起，使肌

肉和身體的緊張狀態(tài)得到松弛。”

3、Accordingtothetext,bathingremovesdryskinflakesbecause.

A、thesoapdrawitoffthebody

B、theskinhydrates

C、thecirculationofbloodexpandsskinparticles

D、thechangeinbloodpressurereleasesthefilm

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：從第2段末尾一句可知，因?yàn)榉试砟軠p輕水的表面張力，所以有助于

皮膚迅速吸水，從而去除干燥的皮屑。因此B項(xiàng)為正確答案。

4、Abathwillnotkillthebacteriafromyourbodyevenif.

A、youuseagermicidalsoap

B、yuuuseanauli-baulcrialsoap

C、youusesoaptoscrubitvigorously

D^youareunderspecialtreatmentforit

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：從第2段可知，肥皂通常不殺菌。因此C項(xiàng)為正確答案。

5、Wecaninferfromthistextthattheauthorbelieves.

A、therealbenefitsofbathingarepsychologicalnothygienic

B、bathingissuperiortotakingshower

C、buyingsoapisawasteofmoney

D、wedonotneedtobatheasmuchaswedocurrently

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：從第2段可知，洗澡不能殺菌，而且污垢和細(xì)菌一般情況下不會(huì)傷

人。同時(shí)又談到：“淋浴或洗澡的唯一理由是感覺(jué)清爽。”所以，作者認(rèn)為洗澡的真

正好處不在衛(wèi)生方面，而在心理方面。因此A項(xiàng)為正確答案。

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B、

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：本題中，A項(xiàng)與文章第2段的意思不符；在文中沒(méi)有提到C項(xiàng)；D項(xiàng)

不正確，它只是本文作者提倡的觀點(diǎn)，不是年長(zhǎng)者說(shuō)這句話的意思。從文章第1段

的內(nèi)容可知，說(shuō)話謹(jǐn)慎的年長(zhǎng)者過(guò)去常說(shuō)，在這個(gè)世界上，重要的不是你想要什

么，而是你能得到什么；從第1段的內(nèi)容可知，心理學(xué)教育人們，如果你知道你想

要什么，并且你想要的東西又合乎情理，那么你肯定會(huì)得到它。據(jù)此可知，年長(zhǎng)者

們說(shuō)這句話的意思應(yīng)該是一應(yīng)該面對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)，不要想那些不合乎情理的東西。B項(xiàng)

與文章的意思相符，因此B項(xiàng)為正確答案。
