参考答案和解析
正确答案: C
解析:
第三段中指出“也许我们对那些调查统计的看法一直是本末倒置的”,我们总是相信“if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better.”,文章末句又说“与此相反的论据开始多起来了”,于是可知那些调查统计也许一直是被用来肯定高等教育的,故A项正确。

    A. concept

    B. thinking

    C. instinct

    D. distinction

  • 第3题:

    The word “crisis” (in the last line but one, paragraph 3) most probably implies _________.

    [A] a dangerous moment

    [B] the last decision

    [C] the crucial point

    [D] a brave engagement


    正确答案:C
    本题考查词义理解。crisis一词出现在全文最后一句。该句指出它是一个点(point)。由其上文即倒数第二句可知,在这个点上主人公会完成一个行为或者做出一个决定,这个决定必然使他进入进一步发展轨迹(造成某些一般结果的点)。可见,crisis指的是戏剧中决定情节发展的关键性的转折点,而不是“时刻”、“决定”或“约定”。[C]正确。

    [B]当代的(流行)趋势

    答案解析:[C]推理判断题。文章最后一段第三句“The three Ds—death,debt and divorce—still deliver works of art to the market.”提到“三个D一一死亡,债务和离婚,依然为市场提供艺术作品。”紧接着下一句指出,“But anyone who does not have to sell is keeping away,waiting for confidence to return.”即“但那些并非必须卖作品的人就一直远离着市场,等待信心的回归。”可见,三个D(死亡,债务和离婚),是促进艺术品进入市场循环的因素,故选[C]。[A]、[B]和[D]都不符合题意,均排除。

  • 第5题:


    What is the role of the last paragraph in developing the topic?( )

    A.To provide a contrast to the fourth paragraph.
    B.To start to discuss an entirely new topic.
    C.To summarize the main message of the article.
    D.To discuss another aspect paralleled with the fourth paragraph.

    答案:D
    解析:
    结构题。文章最后一段围绕苏格拉底的the good展开,倒数第二段强调苏格拉底的dialectic,即“辩证法”,分别介绍苏格拉底哲学的不同精髓。故D项“讨论与第四段平行的另一个方面”为正确答案。故本题选D。参考译文:苏格拉底是雕刻家索福罗尼库斯的儿子,是希腊雅典的哲学家。据说,苏格拉底在早年时从事过父亲的工作,中年时,他娶了传说中的泼妇克桑西普,但这些故事几乎没有确凿的事实依据。我们尚不确定苏格拉底的哲学老师是谁,但他似乎熟悉巴门尼德、赫拉克利特、阿纳萨戈尔和原子论者的学说。甚至苏格拉底在40岁之前就因其智力而广为人知,根据柏拉图在《道歉》中对苏格拉底演讲的描述,特尔斐的神谕称他是希腊最聪明的人。在那次演讲中,苏格拉底坚称,他对这种称呼感到困惑。尽管其他人没有意识到自己在无知的情况下宣称自己有学问,苏格拉底至少意识到了自己的无知。苏格拉底确信,自己的使命是寻找引导正确行为的智慧,以此来促进雅典人在智力和道德方面的进步。苏格拉底忽略了自己的事务,把时间花在讨论美德、正义和虔诚上,而不管他的同胞们在何处聚集。有些人认为他也忽视了公共职责,因为他从来没有寻求过公共职位,尽管他以在他从事的军事战役中所表现出的勇气而闻名。在他自封为“牛虻”的任务中,苏格拉底树敌众多。阿里斯托芬在他的戏剧《云》中嘲弄了苏格拉底,并认为他身上有诡辩家(修辞的专业教师)的一些缺点。尽管苏格拉底的确激怒过诡辩家,但其他批评者似乎与阿里斯托芬持相似的观点。公元前399年,他因荼毒青年和宗教异端而受到审判。围绕审判的是模糊的政治问题,但苏格拉底似乎也因为是阿尔基比阿德斯和克里蒂亚斯的朋友和老师而受到审判,原因是这两个人都背叛了雅典。柏拉图的《道歉》《克里托》和《法耶多》以巨大的戏剧性力量描述了苏格拉底的审判和死亡。苏格拉底对哲学的贡献包括一种理解知识的新方法,一种将灵魂视为集正常清醒意识和道德品质于一体的概念,以及一种有目的地按头脑顺序排列的宇宙意识。他的方法被称为辩证法,包括通过探究陈述的含义来检验陈述,假设一个陈述是真实的,它不会导致错误的结果。这种方法可能是由芝诺(埃利亚)提出的,但苏格拉底对其进行了改进,并应用于伦理问题。苏格拉底的灵魂学说使他相信所有的美德都会汇聚成一种美德,这是真实自我的本质,并贯穿于人的一生。反之,知识取决于事物的本质,因为事物的潜在形式比它们的经验范例更为真实。这个概念导致了一种目的论的世界观,即所有的形式都参与并导致最高的善,或至善的理念。柏拉图后来阐明了这一学说是他哲学思想的核心。苏格拉底的观点经常被描述为认为美德和知识是相同的,所以没有人会故意犯错。因为美德与知识是相同的,所以它可以被教授,但不能像诡辩家把它作为一门专业那样教授。然而,苏格拉底本人并没有给出如何学习美德的最终答案。

    B

    how to pass the long winter.

    C

    the neighborhood gathering.

    D

    the pruning for the apple tree.


    正确答案: A
    解析:
    文章结尾段最后两句中,一位邻居抱怨not having seen or spoken to anyone in our neighborhood,最后他提“We need to prune that apple tree again.” 也就是说修剪苹果树的目的是与邻里见见面说说话即邻里聚会,所以本题的正确答案为C。

    D

    Team members may sometimes abuse the decision-making power.

    C

    Team members should contribute to the development of the team.

    D

    正确答案: B
    解析:

    本文讲的是赛车,第二段中讲到“Two young drivers…raced in theirfirst 500 in l968.Less than 20 years before,their fathers also competed against one another on the Indy track--and died there.”可知赛车手无形的伤疤指的是他们父亲留下的遗憾。所以A项正确。

    解析:
    推理题。从文章最后一段“Down-town arrests have gone from 490 in April-September 2001 to 94l during the same period in 2002”可知,在市区抓捕到的罪犯从2001年4月至9月之间的490人上升到了2002年同期的941人,由此可知,该措施的实施取得了成功。B项是对最后一段的推理引申,符合题意。A项张冠李戴,抓捕到的罪犯人数上升与交通系统的效率不是一个概念;C项无中生有;D项事实与原文相反,属于语意矛盾。

    limitless

    D

    解析:
    unrelenting出现在最后一段第四句,该句描述导致学校恐惧症出现的因素之一,结合语境可知,此处“unrelenting pressures for success”指追求成功所面临的源源不断的压力,因此unrelenting(无休止的,没完没了的)与continuous表达意思相一致。limitless(有无止境的)过于绝对,不合语境。
