1WecanlearnfromthepassagethattheAmbassador.

A、isabigcarwithasleekstyle.

B、isthefirstcartobemadeinIndia.

C^isacaronlyrichpeoplecanbuy.

D、stilldominatetheIndianmarket.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案:B

知識點(diǎn)解析?：細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考查的是對于這個汽車的了解。A項(xiàng)講這個車有流線型

的風(fēng)格，從文中Moderncarsintheirquestforsleekerstyling可知這是現(xiàn)代汽車的特

點(diǎn)，這里張冠李戴了。C項(xiàng)講它只是富人的車。從文由IIwasataxiformanyanda

familycarfortherich可知它也可以作為出租車，被一般人乘坐。D項(xiàng)講它仍然主導(dǎo)

市場顯然不對，因?yàn)槲恼乱婚_始就指出ProductionoftheAmbassador,thefirstcar

tobemadeinIndia,hasbeenhaltedbecauseoffallingdemand,即因?yàn)樾枨笮∷．a(chǎn)

To因此，正確答案是B。

2、WhytheauthorsaytheerarepresentedbyAmbassadorbestbeforgotten?

A^Becauseitisatimeofsocialdisorder.

B、Becauseitisatimeofextremepoverty.

C、BecauseitisatimeofcontrolledeconomyanditsstiHingregulations.

D^Becauseitisatimeofcivilwars.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。艱據(jù)題干中的theerarepresentedbyAmbassadoi?可以定位到

文中的Therecanbenodoubt,theAmbassador'sdeparturemarkstheendofan

era.However,forme?it'sanerabestforgotten.TheAmbassadorwasasymbolof

allthatwaswrongwithIndia'scontrolledeconomyanditsstiflingregulations,從這里

可以看出它代表的是計劃經(jīng)濟(jì)和死板的管理的時代，所以最好被遺忘。C項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容

與此相符。其它的選項(xiàng)在文中都沒有提及。因此，正確答案是C。

3、Whatdoesthejokeinfifthparagraphshow?

A^TheAmbassadorisofverybadquality.

B、TheIndianpeopleareveryhumorous.

C、TheIndianpeopleareverypositive.

D^Theroadsatthattimewereverybad.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識點(diǎn)解析：推斷題。題干中的明確指出是第五段中的笑話，可以直接定位到文中

Buyersweresaddledwithcarsofverybadquality,whichconstantlybrokedownand

yetthewaitinglisttobuyonecouldstretchuptoeightyears!Andtherewere

Ambassadoijokesaplenty,myfavouriteonebeing：”Theonlythingthatdoesn'tmakea

soundinanAmbassadoristhehorn!”，從這里可以看出后面的笑話是為了說明前文汽

車質(zhì)量差的觀點(diǎn)。因此，正確答案是A。

4、WhichofthefollowingisnottrueaboutthefirstbigchangeaboutTheAmbassador?

A、Itwasmainlyduetoemissionregulations.

B、Itwasanall-newengine.

C>Itwasanewbrakes.

D、Itneededthelengthofanairportrunwaytostopit.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點(diǎn)解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。艱據(jù)題干中的thefirstbigchange可以定位到文中的I'hcfirst

bigchange,possiblypromptedbyemissionregulations,wasanall一new

engine.WhenItestedtheAmbassadorforanautomobilemagazineinthemid-1990s,it

wasthefastest—acceleratingcarinIndia,outpacingthemoremodemFiatsandMaiuti-

Suzukisofthatage.Thatitneededthelengthofanairportrunwaytostopitwasanother

matter.Themakerhadbarelyupgradedthebrakes,由此可知這個變化是由于排氣規(guī)

定促成的.變化的是換了一個全新的引擎。但是卻要飛機(jī)跑道那么遠(yuǎn)的距離才能停

下來，因?yàn)闆]有更新剎車。所以A、B、D項(xiàng)是正確的，C講是一個全新的剎車與

事實(shí)相悖。因此.正確答案是C。

5、What'sthethemainideaofthepassage?

A、ThequalityoftheAmbassador.

B、ThehistoryabouttheAmbassador.

C、ThenostalgicfeelingtowardstheAmbassador.

D、ThedepartureoftheAmbassador.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點(diǎn)解析：主旨題。本文一開篇就指出了印度的老牌汽車“大使”汽車由于銷量不

佳而停產(chǎn)。接著介紹了這種汽車與現(xiàn)代汽車的對比，并指出它的退隱象征著一個時

代的結(jié)束.簡要介紹它的質(zhì)量和歷史，最后再次說明現(xiàn)代車輛已經(jīng)徹底取代了這種

古老的車。所以主要講的是這個汽車退出了歷史舞臺。D項(xiàng)符合，A、B、C都只

是文章中的次要部分。因此，正確答案是D。

A、Becauseithaslittlefat.

Becauseitmakespeopledigestbetter.

C、Becauseitcheckstheurgetoeatmorefattyfoods.

D、Becauseitdoesnotaddsfatinourbody.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考查的是為什么吃富含蛋白質(zhì)的食品是減肥的最佳渠

道，可以定位到第二段中的High-proteindietschecktheurgetoeatmorefatty

foods.和Giventhecoirplcxwayourappetiteswork,eatingtoolittleproteinincreases

theriskthatpeoplewilleatmorefattyfoods,由此可知原因是人們吃這類食物會抑制

吃更多高脂肪食物的沖動。這與C項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容符合。其它選項(xiàng)文中沒有提及。因

此，正確答案是C。

7、Whyobesityrateshavesoaredoverthepast60yearsaccordingtothepassage?

A、Peopleeattoomuchfastfood.

B、Peoplecatlessprotein.

C、Peopleeatmuchmorefood.

D^Peopleeattoomuchprocessedjunkfood.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干中的obesilyrateshavesoaredoverthepast60years

可以定位至文中的Researcherssayitisnocoincidencethatobesityrateshavesoared

overthepast60yearswithBritainnowinthegripofanepidemicatatimewhenweeat

lessprotein,由此可知主要原因是人們吃的蛋白質(zhì)更少了。B項(xiàng)符合文意。其它的

選項(xiàng)文章沒有直接提及。因此，正確答案是B。

8、Whyshouldweavoidprocessedfoods?

A、Theycontainsmanyharmfulingredients.

Ourbodiesandappetitesarenotadaptedtoprocessedfood.

C>Theyhaveverylittleprotein.

D、Theycontainloomuchfat.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。艱據(jù)題干中的avoidprocessedfoods可以定位到文中的“No

humanpopulationhasuntilrecentlyencountered'ultra-processedfoods',madefrom

industriallyextractedsugars,starchesandsalt.Ourbodiesandappetitesarenot

adaptedtobiscuits,cakes,pizzasandsugarydrinks,andweeattoomuchofthemat

ourperil.由此可知原因是人類之前沒有遇到過加工食品，我們的身體和胃口難

以適應(yīng)。B項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容符合。因此，正確答案是B。

9、Whichofthefollowingisnotincludedinthebenefitsotprotein?

A、Itisessentialfbrgrowthandrepairofthebody.

Eatingitcanmakepeopleloseweight.

C、Itcanprovideenergy.

D、Itiseasytobedigested.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考查的是蛋白質(zhì)的益處，在文章一開始就指出食用富含

它的飲食可以減肥,所以B項(xiàng)是對的。從文中Proteinisessentialforgrowthand

repairofthebody,maintaininggoodhealthandprovidingenergy可以看出它有助于生長

和機(jī)體修復(fù)，還能提供能量，所以A、C項(xiàng)是它的優(yōu)點(diǎn)。D講它有助于消化，文中

沒有提及。因此，正確答案是D。

10^What'sspecialaboutproteinrichfoodcomparedwithfoodsrichincarbohydratesor

C、Theycanprovidemoreenergy.

D、Theyhelpstomaintaingoodhealth.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。取據(jù)題干中的foodsrichincarbohydratesorfat可以定位到文

中EleanaPapadopoulou,nutritionscientistattheBfitishNutritionFoundation,said：

“Protein-richfoodstendtomakepeopleleelfullerthanfoodsrichincarbohydrates

orfat.由此可見它的特別之處在于可以使人們覺得更飽。C、D項(xiàng)是它的好處，

不是特殊之處，A項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容沒有提及。因此，正確答案是B。

A、isapolitician

B、isveryrichwifeofabusinessman

C、isamulti-millionairess

D^isadrugaddict

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考查的是對于蘿拉?阿黛爾的了解，A項(xiàng)內(nèi)容與文中

ThcOmanipolitician'swifetoldtheHighCourt相悖，她自己不是政治家，她丈夫

是。B項(xiàng)講她是有錢商人的妻子也不對，她是政治家的妻子。D項(xiàng)與文中MrsAl-

Daherhadmadeitclearwhenshearrivedthatshewas“agamblingaddict”相悖，她是賭

癮不是毒癮。C項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容與文中Multi-miHionaircssNoraAl-Daher,50的內(nèi)容相

符，她是一個身價數(shù)百萬的富婆。因此，正確答案是C。

12、WhydoesNoraAl-DahersueTheRitzinLondon?

A、Becausethehotelowesheralotofmoney.

B、Becauseitknewshewasagamblingaddictandstillencouragedhertoplay.

C>Becauseshehaslostalotofmoneythere.

D、Becausethestafftherethereinsultedher.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考查的是蘿拉起訴倫敦利茲酒店的原因.文章一開頭就

說明了原因AhugelywealthywifeissuingTheRitzinLondonaftershelost￡2million

inasingleeveningatitscasino,sayingitknewshewasagamblingaddictandshould

havestoppedher和Sheclaimsthatclubstaff,whoshesaysknewofher

addiction,stoodbehindheratthetableencouraginghertokeepplaying,由此可知理由

是他們知道她有賭癮卻還鼓勵她賭。B項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容與此一致，其它選項(xiàng)文章沒有提

到。因此。正確答案是B。

13>WhichofthefollowingcannotbeinferredfromRobertDeacon'swords?

A、TheRitzshouldreturnhermoney.

B、Thestaffisresponsibleforherhugeloss.

C、Thestafftookadvantageofheraddiction.

D、Shewas"agamblingaddict*'.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點(diǎn)解析：推斷題。艱據(jù)題干中的RobertDeacon可以定位到文中的Her

lawyer,RobertDeacon,toldJudgeAnthonySeysLlewellynthatMrsAl-Daherhad

madeitclearwhensheanivedthatshewas“agamblingaddict”,hadmadesubstantial

losseselsewhereanddidnotwanttoplay."Thestaffpaidnoregardtoherupset

behaviorsorwhatshetoldthem,“hesaid...TheRitzHotelandCasinoLtdfailedtotake

anyreasonablemeasurestopreventorlightentheconsequencesorworseningofself-

inflictedharmbytheassumptionofcontroloverher."從這里可以推斷出他認(rèn)為利茲

酒店的員工對她的損失負(fù)有責(zé)任，因?yàn)閱T工利用了她的賭癮，因此，酒店應(yīng)該把錢

還給她。所以A、B、C項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容都可以推導(dǎo)出，D項(xiàng)講她有賭癮是文中直接提出

來的，不是推斷出的。因此，正確答案是D。

14、Whatdoestheauthormeanby"bringmetomysenses"inthirdparagraph?

A、Makingherrealizeitisfoolishtokeepgambling.

Tellinghertoleaveimmediately.

C、Makinghercalmdown.

D、Stoppingherwithallmeans.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識點(diǎn)解析：語義題。艱據(jù)題干中的bringmetomysenses可以定位到文中的

TheOmanipolitician'swifetoldtheHighCourt：Ineededsomeonethatnighttotellme

tostopplayingandbringmetomysenses.IfIhadbeentoldtostop,ofcourseIwould

stopimmediately.Nooneevertoldmetostoporthinkaboutmygambling.They

shouldhavediscouragedme,butinsteadtheytookadvantageofme.這句話的原意

是使人恢復(fù)理智，在這個語境中可知它的意思是使她意識到自己賭博的愚蠢，A項(xiàng)

最貼切，B、C、D偏離了原意。因此，正確答案是A。

15、Asuitabletitleforthepassagewouldbe?

A、CasinoatTheRitz

B、AStunningLossofMoney

C^TwoMillionGamblingLoss

D^LawsuitAboutGamblingLoss.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點(diǎn)解析：主旨題。本文主要講了蘿拉因?yàn)樽约涸诶澗频贻斄藘砂偃f而把酒店

告上法庭的事，并介紹了理由。因此D項(xiàng)最符合。A、B、C只關(guān)注賭場和輸?shù)腻X

偏離了中心。因此，正確答案是D。

16、Whichofthefollowingwordshasasimilarmeaningwith"nixed"(Line3,Para.2)?

A、Curlup.

B、Nestled.

C、Stop.

D、Mix.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：c

知識點(diǎn)新斤：語義題。艱據(jù)題干中的單詞nixed可以定位到文中的She

considcrcdrunningamobilecoffeecartforcommutersinherneighbourhood,butthe

ideaofLondonwintersspentoutsidequicklynixedthoseplans.Shedecidedonacareer

intechnology.這句話的意思是她打算在自己家周板開一個移動咖啡售賣車賣紿乘

車上班的人，但是想到,侖敦冬天那么冷還要在外賣東西，她打消了這個計劃。她決

定從事科技行業(yè)。很明顯倫敦的冬天使她棄放了咖啡車的計劃，所以nixed的意思

是使停止的意思。C項(xiàng)符合。因此，正確答案是C。

17、Accordingtothepassagewhatpreventpeoplefrommakingachangeintheir

careers?

A、Lackofconnection.

B、Lackofexperience.

C、Toughhauntingmarket.

D、Difficulttofindanewjob.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考查的是阻止人們換職業(yè)的原因。可以定位到文中的

Atsomcpointinalmosteveryone'scareercomesthedesiretochangefieldsand

trysoinethingcompletelydifferent.Butoneofthemostcommonstumblingblocks

tomakingadramaticcareerchangeisalackofexperienceinthenewfield.從這里可以

看出最主要的問題沒有經(jīng)驗(yàn)。B項(xiàng)符合文意。A、C、D項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容文中沒有直接提

及。因此，正確答案是B。

18、WhichofthefollowingisnottrueabouttheMakersAcademy?

A、Itisahighlyselectiveprogram.

ItisinLondon.

C、Itoffersintensivetraining.

D、Studentscaneatandsleepatthecenter.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。艱據(jù)題干中的MakersAcademy可以定位到文中的Then

sheheardabouttheMakersAcademy,ahighlyselectivecodingprograminLondon

thatteacheswebdevelopment.Theintensive10-weekprogram.(itnowcosts￡7,200

andisthreemonthslong)meantBrideauwasstudyingcodewhenevershe"wasn'teating

orslecping."從這里可以看出這是一個高度專業(yè)的項(xiàng)目，位于倫敦，向?qū)W員提供集

中訓(xùn)練。所以A、B、C項(xiàng)是真的。D項(xiàng)講那里提供食宿是錯誤的，文中說除了吃

飯睡覺都得學(xué)習(xí)編碼，是指學(xué)習(xí)強(qiáng)度很大，很密集，不是講可以在那里吃飯睡覺。

因此，正確答案是D。

19>WhyBrideaucomparedthechangetothemovefromCanadatotheUK?

A、Theuncertaintyoftheresultandalotofunansweredquestions.

B、Hardtogetusedtothenewsurroundings.

C、Similarmotives.

D、Bothareverydifficult.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識點(diǎn)解析：推斷題。本題考查的是她把這個變化比作從加拿大搬到英國的原因，

可以定位到文中的ShelikenedittothemoveshehadmadefromCanadatothe

UK.”Youkeepmovingforwardwithalotofunansweredquestionsnotknowinghowit

willallturnoutuntilonedayyoufindyourselfathomeinyournewsurroundings."從這

里可以看出主要原因是二者都包含許多未解的問題和不可預(yù)料的結(jié)果。所以A項(xiàng)

符合。B、D不是直接原因。C項(xiàng)在文中沒有直接提及。因此，正確答案是A。

20>WecanlearnfromthepassagethatBridcau.

A、isarichwoman

B、isapositivewoman

C>isbraveanddaretotrynewthings

D、hateLondon'sweather

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點(diǎn)解析：推斷題。本題考查的是對于卜麗渡女士的了解。本文主要講述了卜麗

渡女士換職業(yè)的經(jīng)歷，以及她是如何克服沒有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的問題，學(xué)習(xí)編碼的過程，還提

到她從加拿大搬到英國，從此可以看出她很勇敢，敢于嘗試新事物，不怕困難。

A、B、D項(xiàng)在文中沒有直接提及，C項(xiàng)講她是一位勇敢的，敢于嘗試新事物的女

性，符合原文。因此，正確答案是C。

A^believetheworld'senvironmentisinanundesirablecondition

B、agreethattheenvironmentoftheworldisnotasbadasitisthoughttobe

C、gethighmarksfortheirgoodknowledgeoftheworld'senvironment

D、appearsomewhatunconcernedaboutthestateoftheworld'senvironment

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)moststudents定位到第一段“Theworld'senvironment

issurprisinglyhealthy.Discuss."Ifthatwereanexaminationtopic?moststudents

wouldtearitapart,offeringalonglistofcomplaints：fromlocalsmogtoglobalclimate

change,fromthefellingofforeststotheextinctionofspecies“'全球環(huán)境非常好。請做

出討論?！绻@是一個考試題目的話，大多數(shù)學(xué)生會把試題撕碎，列出一長串的

抱怨：從當(dāng)?shù)氐臒熿F污染到全球的氣候變化，從砍伐森林到物種滅絕.”可知學(xué)生

撕碎題目是對題目的不認(rèn)可，有很多抱怨說明全球環(huán)境不好。和A選項(xiàng)“全球環(huán)境

并不理想''意思一致，其中undesirable表示“不受歡迎的，不理想的“。所以A選項(xiàng)

為答案。

2、Thehugeincreaseinworldproductionandpopulation.

A、hasmadetheworldaworseplacetolivein

B、hashadapositiveinfluenceontheenvironment

C、hasnotsignificantlyaffectedtheenvironment

D、hasmadetheworldadangerousplacetolivein

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點(diǎn)解析：推斷題。艱據(jù)productionandpopulation定位到第二段和第三段前兩

句，大意是“畢竟，本世紀(jì)全球人口增加了三倍多，全球產(chǎn)量也有巨幅增加，因此

你可能會認(rèn)為地球會受到影響。的確，如果人們還像1990年或1950年甚至1980

年那樣居住、消費(fèi)和生產(chǎn)的話，那么到現(xiàn)在，地球很可能是一個令人厭惡的地方：

惡臭、骯臟、有毒氣、危險。但是人們沒有這樣做。人們?yōu)槭裁礇]有這樣做以及環(huán)

境為什么還沒有被破壞的原因……”既然人們沒有這么做，環(huán)境沒有被破壞，就說

明生產(chǎn)力和人口的增長并沒有嚴(yán)重影響環(huán)境，和C選項(xiàng)敘述一致，所以選C。

3、Oneofthereasonswhythelong-termtrendofpriceshasbeendownwardsisthat

A、technologicalinnovationcanpromotesocialstability

B、politicalinstabilitywillcauseconsumptiontodrop

C、newfarmingandcroptechnologycanleadtooverproduction

D、newsourcesarealwaysbecomingavailable

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。眼據(jù)prices、downwards鎖定文章第四段Whathashappened

isthateverytimeamaterialseemstoberunningshort,theprice,hasrisenand,in

response,peoplehavelookedfornewsourcesofsupply,triedtofindwaystouseless

formineralshavefalleninrealtermsduringthecentury.”真實(shí)的情況是.每當(dāng)一種資

源似乎快要匱乏的時候，價格已經(jīng)上漲，相應(yīng)地，人們已經(jīng)開始尋找新的供給來

源，努力找到節(jié)省原料的方法，或者尋找新的替代物。因此，本世紀(jì)的能源和礦產(chǎn)

的價格實(shí)際上已經(jīng)下降?！芍L遠(yuǎn)來看，價格下降的原因之一是人們總能獲得新

的資源。所以選D。

A、nonewsubstitutescanbefoundinlargequantities

B、theyarenotownedbyanyparticularentity

C、impropermethodsoffishinghaveruinedthefishinggrounds

D、waterpollutionisextremelyserious

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B
