問題1選項

A.snobbery

B.ignorance

C.arrogance

D.inactivity

【答案】D

【解析】考查名詞辨析。A項snobbery“勢利，諂上欺下”，B項ignorance“無知，愚昧”，C項arrogance“自大，傲慢態(tài)度”，D項inactivity“不做任何事，不活動”。由quitecommon和even可知，前后兩句是對應(yīng)的，那么根據(jù)前面的notpainting對應(yīng)可知，athletic______也要表示否定，且空格部分表示的是事情，并不是人，所以只有D項符合。句意：盡管譴責(zé)藝術(shù)館參觀者不揮毫作畫這樣的事甚為罕見，但是即使對于那些并不怎么熱衷于體育活動的人來說，去批評體育觀眾在體育上的不參與，這樣的事卻相當(dāng)普遍。因此，該題選擇D項。

【答案】第1題:B

第2題:A

第3題:C

第4題:D

第5題:B

【解析】1.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段第一句，“Basically,anytaxsystemcanbedividedintodirectandindirecttaxes.”，可知任何稅收系統(tǒng)都可分為直接和間接兩種。選項B符合題意。

2.推斷題。根據(jù)第四段，“Taxableearningsaremoresignificantthanthetaxrateitself.Theydeterminewhatcanbedeductedbeforethetaxiscomputed;inotherwords,theseitemsaretaxdeductible.”，可知應(yīng)納稅收入比稅率重要，計算出稅收前，它們決定應(yīng)該扣除哪些，換句話說，這些項目是可以減免稅收的。可推斷出扣除了所有可扣除項目后，剩下的就是應(yīng)納稅的收入。選項A符合題意。

3.推斷題。根據(jù)文章開頭，“Formultinationalcorporations,taxplanninghasbecomeextremelycomplexaffairs.Ithasbeenstatedthatnomultinationalcorporationpossessestheultimatetaxexpertise.”，可知對于跨國公司來說，因為稅收計劃是非常復(fù)雜的事情，所以沒有哪個跨國公司擁有終極的稅收技術(shù)。根據(jù)文章第三段，“Corporateincometaxes(taxesleviedonearning)varyamongtheindustrializednations.”，可知企業(yè)所得稅在工業(yè)化國家各不相同，下文也提到了不同國家有不同的稅率?？赏茢喑鲆驗楦鲊亩惵什煌?，所以稅收體系相當(dāng)復(fù)雜。選項C符合題意。

4.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段最后一句，“ButVATisoftenaccusedofhavingcontributedtoseriousinflationincountrieswhereitwasintroduced,notablyinWesternEurope.”，可知在引入增值稅的國家，增值稅經(jīng)常被指控為可導(dǎo)致嚴(yán)重的通貨膨脹，特別是在歐洲國家。導(dǎo)致通貨膨脹是增值稅的缺點，選項D符合題意。

5.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第一句，“Lessdevelopedcountriesusuallyhavelowercorporatetaxratesinordertoattractforeigninvestment.”，可知為了吸引外資，欠發(fā)達國家通常規(guī)定較低的稅率。選項B符合題意。

【答案】就像許多富裕國家居民的腰圍一樣，如今手機的尺寸也在逐漸增大，一些手機用戶在費盡心思想把它們?nèi)M自己的兜里。

在經(jīng)歷了多年來從磚頭般的龐然大物向小巧口袋設(shè)備的演變后，如今手機又踏上了回頭路。

有的科技評論家當(dāng)時曾譏諷這款巨型手機“傻傻的”、“專為巨人設(shè)計”。

但巨型手機的銷量卻實現(xiàn)了激增，其他手機生產(chǎn)商也紛紛跟風(fēng)推出了越來越大的、科技專家開始稱之為“平板手機”的產(chǎn)品手機和平板電腦的跨界組合。

人類工程學(xué)的一些專家擔(dān)心巨型手機可能會帶來損傷的風(fēng)險。由于觸控全屏需增加拉伸的幅度，我們可能會開始看到越來越多由大型觸屏電子設(shè)備引發(fā)的嚴(yán)重累積性-創(chuàng)傷失調(diào)，例如對拇指的損害。

16.Whatisoneofthecriticismsdirectedattheearlyresearchonsolitude?

【試題答案】D

【試題解析】題目問關(guān)于“獨處”的早期研究受到何種批評？錄音說，早期的研究存在幾個缺點，其中包括把情緒簡單地分為積極的和消極的（categorizedemotionsassimplypositiveornegative），D選項中的classified是對錄音原文中categorized的同義替換，因此D選項正確。A選項“它忽略了情緒是個人的和主觀的事實”和B項“它忽略了情緒可以被控制的可能性”在錄音中均沒有信息提及；C選項“它獨立測量積極情緒和消極情緒”主要利用measured和independently設(shè)置干擾，錄音說的是，早期調(diào)查在從積極到消極的范圍內(nèi)衡量情緒，忽略了積極和消極情緒可以獨立波動的可能性。選項與之表述不相符，因此排除。

17.Whatdowelearnabouttheresultsofthenewresearch?

【試題答案】B

【試題解析】題目問我們可以知道哪些關(guān)于新研究的結(jié)果？錄音提到，新研究是為了確定獨處對高喚起度情緒的影響，而參與實驗的人經(jīng)過15分鐘的獨處后，他們的積極與消極兩方面的高喚起度情緒都有所減緩（reductionsinbothtypesofemotion），B選項中的reductive與錄音原文中的reductions是同根詞，都表示“減少，減緩”的意思，因此B選項“獨處對高喚起度情緒有減緩作用”正確。A選項“一個人無所事事地坐著似乎很苦惱”和C選項“獨自坐15分鐘使參與者焦躁不安”在錄音中均沒有信息提及；D選項“獨處會對參與者的心理健康產(chǎn)生不利影響”，主要錯在缺乏對獨處的修飾詞，錄音中說的是長期的孤獨與負面的生理和心理影響相關(guān)，而短暫的獨處不會，因此D選項屬于以偏概全，表述不正確。

18.Whatdidthesecondexperimentinthenewresearchfindaboutsolitude?

【試題答案】D

【試題解析】題目問新研究的第二個實驗有何發(fā)現(xiàn)？第二個實驗測量了獨處對低喚起度情緒的影響，并且發(fā)現(xiàn)所有這些情緒都會隨著時間的推移而增加。D選項“它有助于增強低喚起度情緒”與原文表述相符，因此正確。A選項“它往往會使負面情緒加劇”，這些情緒包括積極和消極的情緒，如平靜、放松、悲傷或孤獨。因此A選項不正確；B選項“事實證明很難客觀描述它”，錄音提到，獨處改變內(nèi)在感受的強度，對強烈感覺有安撫作用，這正是描述了獨處產(chǎn)生的影響，因此B選項也不正確；C選項“它與悲傷密切相關(guān)”在錄音中沒有信息提及，因此排除。
