    B.would return to his office in the bank

    C.made a big success in interior design

    D.was not well-prepared for his business


    正确答案:A
    解析:推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到,Christopher把店面装饰好之后,又去挨个向他的客户道歉,说自己根本不会装修。由此可推出,他很可能会改变主意,因为这样子公司是办不下去的。

  • 第6题:

    What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

    A.Babies’ cries have long been the concerns of scientists.
    B.Babies start their speech acquisition at the age of three months.
    C.Studying babies' cries helps us understand their speech perception.
    D.Babies’ true speech, rather than their cries, should be the focus of study.

    答案:C
    解析:
    推断题。A项在最后一段中没有被提及。该段指出以前科学家认为婴儿在出生后三个月才开始语言习得的观点是不正确的,故B项无法从原文推出。根据“if they want to see what soundsbabies can perceive, remember, and play back, they should look at the soundbabies produce best. So let the little angel cry: she'spracticing to acquire language”,可知研究的重点不仅包括真正的语言,也包括婴儿的哭声,而且科学家研究婴儿的哭声可以了解婴儿的言语知觉,故D项错误,本题选C。

  • 第7题:

    Text 2 Whatever happened to the death of newspaper?A year ago the end seemed near.The recession threatened to remove the advertising and readers that had not already fled to the Internet.Newspapers like the San Francisco Chronicle were chronicling their own doom.America's Federal Trade Commission launched a round of talks about how to save newspapers.Should they become charitable corporations?Should the state subsidize them?It will hold another meeting soon.But the discussions now seem out of date.In much of the world there is little sign of crisis.German and Brazilian papers have shrugged off the recession.Even American newspapers,which inhabit the most troubled corner of the global industry,have not only survived but often returned to profit.Not the 20%profit margins that were routine a few years ago,but profit all the same.It has not been much fun.Many papers stayed afloat by pushing journalists overboard.The American Society of News Editors reckons that 13,500 newsroom jobs have gone since 2007.Readers are paying more for slimmer products.Some papers even had the nerve to refuse delivery to distant suburbs.Yet these desperate measures have proved the right ones and,sadly for many journalists,they can be pushed further.Newspapers are becoming more balanced businesses,with a healthier mix of revenues from readers and advertisers.American papers have long been highly unusual in their reliance on ads.Fully 87%of their revenues came from advertising in 2008,according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation&Development(OECD).In Japan the proportion is 35%.Not surprisingly,Japanese newspapers are much more stable.The whirlwind that swept through newsrooms harmed everybody,but much of the damage has been concentrated in areas where newspapers are least distinctive.Car and film reviewers have gone.So have science and general business reporters.Foreign bureaus have been savagely cut off.Newspapers are less complete as a result.But completeness is no longer a virtue in the newspaper business.
    What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the current newspaper business?

    A.Distinctiveness is an essential feature of newspapers.
    B.Completeness is to blame for the failure of newspaper.
    C.Foreign bureaus play a crucial role in the newspaper business.
    D.Readers have lost their interest in car and film reviews.

    答案:A
    解析:
    推理题【命题思路】这是一道封闭式推理题,需要锁定和理解文章末段的具体信息,从而推理得出答案。【直击答案】根据最后一段首句but后内容可知“受创最严重的是报社中最不具特色的领域”,即特色性很重要,因此A项正确。【干扰排除】由末段倒数第二句“Newspapers…result.”可知完整性是报业的结果而不是报业失败的原因,B项属于因果倒置,故错误。句子“Foreign bureaus have been savagely cut off.”并未提及驻外机构在报业中起到什么作用,C项属于无中生有,故不选。由句子“Car and film reviewers have gone”可知“汽车和电影的评论员已消失。”从中无法得知读者对其失去兴趣,D项属于过度推理,不选。

    It can be inferred from the passage that the manufacturers mentioned in paragraph 1 expected that the measures they implemented would _____.
    A

    encourage innovation

    B

    keep labor output constant

    C

    increase their competitive advantage

    D

    permit business upturns to be more easily predicted


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    由“manufacturers in the United States have been trying to improve productivity—and therefore enhance their international competitiveness—through cost-cutting programs”可知,C为正确选项。第三段提到,cost cutting并不能encourage innovation,所以A错误。B项是对cost cutting的解释。

    B

    They can’t find the means to do it

    C

    It would be a meaningless act

    W: By all means.

  • 第10题:

    单选题
    What can we infer from the last paragraph?
    A

    The exploration of a little-known coral reef must be continued.

    B

    Rainbow Warrior is determined to forbid bottom trawling in international waters.

    C

    Rainbow Warrior will unearth crucial evidence to stop the bottom trawling.

    D

    The UN is determined to forbid bottom trawling in international waters.


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“…A moratorium on bottom trawling in international waters is urgently needed to protect life…in the deep sea…”我们可以看出“彩虹勇士号”上的人强烈反对人们在公海上进行深海拖网捕捞,所以正确答案为B。

    increase the finance of higher education

    B

    curtail some cultural activities

    C

    open more theaters

    D

    work out some rules for donation


    正确答案: A
    解析:
    推断题。文章最后一段提到“the resulting cutbacks in state aid and private donations placed a strain on the financing of higher education that curtailed the growth or sometimes even threatened the survival of many cultural program”,即“政府和个人资助的减少使得抑制甚至威胁到了大学文化艺术活动的生存”。由此推断,如果增加对最高教育的资助,那么大学的文化艺术活动就会繁荣起来,所以选A项。

    B.have often had records of wrongdoings in the firm

    C.are accustomed to stress-free work in the firm

    D.will decline incentives from the firm


    正确答案:A
    解析:推理题。题干定位在最后一段,没有明确的定位。因此需要分析段落结构,找到作者所暗示的内容。最后一段首先提到独立董事会在公司坏消息出现前离开以避免影响自己的声誉。然后提到了需要奖励来留住他们,否则Simmons女士的例子会重现。

  • 第17题:

    It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _____.

    [A] the dream to build interplanetary Internet can be fulfilled in the future

    [B] interplanetary Internet will be commercialized in 100 years

    [C] the research of Internet took 50 years

    [D] it will take a long time to build interplanetary Internet


    正确答案:A

    本题考查考生的推理引申能力。文章最后一段所做的假设(在今后50年内仅仅是研究项目的东西,在100年后完全有可能商业化)以及与因特网发展历程的比较,都是塞尔夫为了说明建立星际因特网在未来是有可能实现的,所以[A]项正确。文中提到100年只是一种假设,[B]项将其确定为商业化实现的时间,不正确。同样,[C]项将假设中的50年确定为因特网的研究年限,也不正确。该段中塞尔夫的一番话表达了他对星际因特网的建立怀有比较乐观的态度,而不是说明它需要花很长时间才能实现,[D]项不正确。

  • 第18题:

    B.The business centre of London is in Zone l
    C.Hosts dislike travelling to the citv centre
    D.Accommodation in the city centre is not Drovided

    答案:B
    解析:
    根据第三段第一、二句话“Homestays are located in London mainlyin Zones 2,3 and ofthe transpon system.Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and notresidential.”可知,寄宿家庭主要在第二、三、四区,大多数房东不住在伦敦市中心,因为市中心是商业区,而非居住区.故选B。

  • 第19题:

    问答题
    What can we infer from the last sentence in Paragraph 2?

    正确答案: Dad refused the meal prepared according to a new recipe.
    解析:
    推理题。根据题干定位至原文的第二段。根据该段的第一句话:“Dad was a creature of habit. He didn’t always greet new experiments in cooking with glee.”可知,“父亲的习惯常年不变,不喜欢尝试新食物。”而后文提到“我刚开始学习烹饪,喜欢邀请父母品尝新手艺,”该段的最后一句话说到:Dad would look at his plate suspiciously and ask, “Am I the ‘guinea pig’ for this meal?”由此可见,当父亲看到盘子中的菜时,怀疑自己是女儿实验用的“小白鼠”,而不愿意吃其中的食物,因此父亲拒绝品尝新手艺。

  • 第20题:

    It can be inferred from paragraph 5 that ______.
    A

    data leakage is more severe in Europe

    B

    FTC’s decision is essential to data security

    C

    California takes the lead in security legislation

    D

    legal penalty is a major Solomon to data leakage


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    推断题。从最后一段的第一句(The current state of affairs may have been encouraged though not justified by the lack of legal penalty for data leakage.)和末句(… America on notice that regulators will act if firms fail to provide adequate data security)可以看出法律惩罚是避免数据泄漏的一个很有效的方法。

  • 第21题:

    单选题
    It can be inferred from paragraph 3 that ______.
    A

    shippers will be charged less without a rival railroad

    B

    there will soon be only one railroad company nationwide

    C

    overcharged shippers are unlikely to appeal for rate relief

    D

    a government board ensures fair play in railway business


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    推断题。第三段最后一部分主要论述的是托运商如果感觉要价过高可以上诉,但是“the process is expensive, time consuming, and will work only in truly extreme cases”,也就是说上诉的整个过程费用昂贵,浪费时间,并且只能在非常极端的案例上才能起到作用。因此可推断,被要价过高的托运商是几乎不可能去进行这一费时费钱却很少起作用的上诉过程,故选C。第三段第二句提到,铁路公司向这些“受制”的托运人收取的费用通常比有竞争对手时高出20%到30%,即没有竞争的铁路公司,托运人会多付费用,因此A与原文相矛盾。B无法从原文推断出。原文提到托运人可以向联邦政府水路运输委员会提出上诉,但并没有说这个委员会保证了铁路行业的公平竞争,排除D。

    C

    accustomed to long-distance flights.

    D

    associated with space exploration.


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    推理判断题。根据题干信息定位到第二段最后一句话“The real space…but the 21st century will see a continuation of efforts to transform humanity into a spacefaring species.”由此可知,2001年真正的太空活动与电影中的情景并不相符,但是21世纪人类会继续致力于把自己变成远至太空的物种,这些说明人类将一直进行太空探索,故答案为D项。
