第3题：
According to article，the Democrats were supported by all of the following groups EXCEPT( )A.workers unhappy with the new industrial system
B.planters involved in international trade
C.rising entrepreneurs
D.individuals seeking to open the economy to newcomers答案：B解析：细节题。根据出题顺序可定位到最后一段Democrats attracted farmers isolated from the market or uncomfortable with it，workers alienated from the emerging industrial system，and rising entrepreneurs who wanted to break monopolies and open the economy to newcomers like themselves.由此可知，A项“对新工业体系不满的工人”，C项“新兴的企业家”和D项“为新人开拓经济市场的个人”均支持民主党。B项“国际市场中的种植园主”支持辉格党，故本题选B。参考译文：美国现代总统制度的发展是从安德鲁·杰克逊开始的。这位民主党领导人在1829年掌权，直至1837年卸任。在他任职期间，总统的权力被无限量地扩大。参议院反对他时，他曾说：“总统是美国人民的直接代表，美国总统由公民选举产生，对公民负责”。杰克逊用这番话重新定义了总统的角色，及总统与民众的关系。在杰克逊的第二次任职期间，他的反对者们逐渐联合起来成立了辉格党。辉格党和民主党在市场、银行、商业上的变化上持有不同的态度。一方面，民主党倾向于把社会视作平民(农民、种植园主、工人)和一小撮贪婪的贵族间持续的斗争。他们宣称，那些银行家和投资者们都是“钞票贵族”，他们在自身利益的驱使下操控着银行系统，并且以鼓励投机和迅速赚取不义之财的行为败坏国民道德。民主党人既想从市场经济中获利，又不想牺牲单一土地所有权的共和体制。他们想要市场经济带来的财富而不想参与竞争，不想改变社会，不想面对复杂的交易，不想让大城市主宰，也不想在市场经济下丧失独立性。另一方面，辉格党对市场更为适应。对于他们来说，商业和经济的发展是文明化的动力。然而，辉格党人并没有预料到农民与工人、商人与银行家之间的冲突。他们认为，经济发展会通过增加国民收入和就业机会使每个人受益。政府的职责就是提供一个井然有序运作良好的经济环境，保证给每一个有能力的公民提供机会。辉格党和民主党的分歧不仅表现在对市场的态度上，而且还表现在中央政府究竟该在人民生活中起到多少作用的问题上。抛开安德鲁·杰克逊想做一个强势总统不谈，民主党本身就主张限制政府权力。政府在经济中的角色就是通过摧毁垄断和特权来鼓励竞争。为了遵循限制政府权力的做法，民主党人同样否定了政府行为应符合道德准则领域要求的观点。民主党人确信，宗教和政治应划清界限，而通常，他们也反对人道主义立法。相反，在辉格党人看来，政府权力发挥着积极的作用。他们认为，应该用政府权力保护个人权利和公众自由，在个人努力无效时发挥特殊作用。通过规划经济和竞争，政府可以保证机会平等。确实，他们认为政府发展公共福利比发展经济更重要。尤其是美国北部的辉格党还认为政府权力应该用来促进国家的道德福利。他们更倾向于支持社会改革法案和教育援助。两个政党在社会结构上具有某种相似性。为了在投票中更具竞争力，辉格党和民主党都要在农民——社会最大群体——和工人当中获得大力支持。任何一个党派若只讨好穷人或只讨好富人都不可能赢得选举。然而，辉格党偏好把精力花费在商业阶层上，迎合了需要信用来贷款以在世界贸易中出售棉花和大米的种植园主、渴望卖出余粮的农民和希望改变现状的工人。民主党则吸引了孤立于市场或不适应市场的农民、新兴工业体系外的工人和新出现的创业家们。这些创业家们想要打破垄断并为像他们一样的经济领域的新人开拓经济市场。辉格党在城镇、市区还有完全适应市场经济的农村区域最受欢迎，而民主党则主宰了与市场隔绝、经济日渐衰微的半自给农耕地区。 -

第7题：
单选题According to the passage, which of the following statements about the Tuskegee Airmen is TRUE?AIn World WarⅡ, they never lost a bomber to enemy fire.
BThey were the first group of black soldiers ever trained by the ground troops.
CThey were not subjected to racial discrimination in the army.
DThey were already soldiers in the ground troops before their training at Tuskegee began.
正确答案： D解析：
细节理解题。根据文章的第三段第二句“They did not lose any of the bombers they were escorting”可知，在战争中，他们从来没有失去他们护航的任何一架轰炸机。而A项说的是他们没有遗失一架轰炸机给敌人火力。与A项说法一致，所以A是正确选项。根据文中第二段“The first African-American airmen reported for duty in l941.”可知，他们是第一批报到的空军，而B项的描述是他们是第一批受陆军训练的黑人士兵，原文并没有提到这一点，所以B项错误。根据文中第一段“separated you from other soldiers because of the color of your skin”以及后面的第三，四段可知，他们即使在军队里也被歧视，也受到了种族歧视的影响，C项描述完全相反。由文中第二段第二句“Before that, African Americans could only serve in the Armed Forces as part of the ground troops.”可知，第一批被训练的空军之前是作为地面部队的一部分为武装部队服役，服役指的是参加部队的劳动或是参军，所以不代表他们都是地面部队的士兵。故D项错误。 -

正确答案： B解析：
第三段第二句指出“One reason why Asia’s civilizations, in 1000 far ahead of Europe’s, then fell behind was that they lacked the technology to reproduce and diffuse ideas”，由此可知曾经领先于欧洲的亚洲文明落后的原因是他们缺乏传播思想的技术，因此选项C符合文意。reproduce复制；再生。diffuse扩散；传播。 -
