參考答案

1.haverefusedtoacceptthepremisethatinnovationmeansimprovementhaverefusedtoacceptthepremisethatinnovationmeansimprovement解析：從“Skilledthemselvesinmath，theyhaverefusedtoacceptthepremisethatinnovationmeansimprovement，andintheirownhouseholdstheyhaveseenevidencetothecontrary．”這句話中可以得到答案。

2.B解析：參見文章第一個(gè)小標(biāo)題下第三段第二句活。

3.A解析：文章第二部分談到當(dāng)今美國(guó)對(duì)“競(jìng)技塑造品格”這一傳統(tǒng)思想提出了挑戰(zhàn)，Today'sUSathleteisthuscontenttobeanentertainer．Tryingtodosomethingsociallyconstructive，likebeingarolemodel，willmakeyouseemoverearnestandprobablyhurtyourstreetcredibility今天的美國(guó)運(yùn)動(dòng)員是如此滿足于當(dāng)一名表演藝人。努力做一些于社會(huì)具有建設(shè)性的事情，比如成為人們的榜樣，將使你看起來過于正統(tǒng)，也許會(huì)有損你在追星族中的聲望。

4.D解析：第一段第一句說，電視業(yè)老板們都緊張地關(guān)注著兩個(gè)以制造麻煩著稱的Scandinavians。后面介紹了這兩個(gè)人已經(jīng)給音樂業(yè)和電信業(yè)制造的麻煩。電視業(yè)老板所緊張的自然與自己本行業(yè)有關(guān)。最后一句介紹了相關(guān)情況：他們要?jiǎng)?chuàng)立另一項(xiàng)技術(shù)，有毀掉電視業(yè)的危險(xiǎn)(threatenedtodevastatethetelevisionindustry)。既然只是有危險(xiǎn)，還沒有造成后果，所以不選[C]，選[D]。第二段第一句也證明了這一點(diǎn)。

5.A解析：由文章第四段可知，英美國(guó)家的律師們想施行另外一種懲罰方
