参考答案和解析
正确答案: A
解析:
细节题。A is to B (is)what C is to D为一种固定用法,在英语中是表示修辞类比的句式,本题是将播客对广播的作用与数字录像机对电视的作用进行类比。与第二段最后一句提到的“Many podcasters think the technology could revolutionize radio as TiVo did television”表达内容相同。因此选B。

    [B] enlarged the scope of education

    [C] was provided only to the poor

    [D] benefited all but the upper class


    正确答案:B
    细节题。根据题干landgrant college定位到原文第二段第二句话:国家赠予土地的学校的建立为那些来自非盎格鲁—萨克逊血统、工人阶级和中下层背景的贫穷但有抱负的男孩们敞开了享受高等教育的大门。由此可知,[B]项为正确答案。作者提到为穷人提供了更多的机会,却并未说明只有穷人才能从中获益,也并未把上层社会的人排除在外,因此[C]和[D] 错误。[A] 项中土地所有者阶级在文中没有提及。

    A.gaining excessive profits

    B.failing to fulfill her duty

    C.refusing to make compromises

    D.leaving the board in tough times


    正确答案:B
    解析:细节题。题干中的was criticized定位在第一段的第三句but之后,对应原文的under fire。因此答案指向该句for后面的内容。受到批评的原因是其担任高盛薪酬委员会主席间,她是如何让巨额的分红在不知情的情况下通过的?因此可以理解为她没有履行自己的职责,对应[B]选项。其他选项的内容都没有在第一段体现。

    Practice 3  BBC World Service is the world's biggest radio network, with 140 million listeners across the globe, broadcasting in 44 languages, heard on short-wave, medium-wave, FM and satellite. We have an ambitious plan for the brand new technology of Digital Broadcasting by Satellite, due to start next year. The appearance of the Internet has taken us broadcasters all by surprise. The Internet has enabled any radio station anywhere to become an international broadcaster with only a minor investment. Although its sound quality is far from perfect, it excels that of short-wave. Internet radio does not only mean competition but also great opportunities. The BBC is taking the Internet very seriously, for it's a cheap way of getting a reasonable quality signal to places in the even our short-wave transmitters can't adequately reach. Very recently, we launched “BBC On-Line”, which incorporates a 24-hour news service. And the users can hear programmes in Mandarin, Arabic, Spanish and Russian.

    D

    whether they secrete chemicals into the blood


    正确答案: D

    According to the last paragraph, most Asian central banks are becoming _____.

    [A] rather regretful

    [B] less ambitious

    [C] more cautious

    [D] speculative


    正确答案:C

    本题考查推理引申。文章最后一段第二句提到,一直以来作为美国国债最大的外国买家的亚洲中央银行最近改变了过去的做法。接着该段以具体数据说明外国买家购买美国国债的数量下降。从文中“swallowing American government debt like there was no tomorrow”可看出作者认为大举购买国债的做法是“不谨慎”的,而下文“have had second thoughts”他表明它变得更加慎重,因此[C]为正确答案。

  • 第14题:

    What is the relationship between Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2?

    [A] Paragraph 1 is an introduction to Paragraph 2.

    [B] Paragraph 1 provides an example for Paragraph 2.

    [C] Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2 are both supporting details.

    [D] Paragraph 2 serves as an analogy to Paragraph 1.


    正确答案:A

    本题考查第一、二段的写作结构。这两段讲述的都是关于高尔夫的事情,第一段作者先用自己的亲身经历对高尔夫比赛进行了介绍,说明看上去很简单的事情做起来却并非如此。接着联系到观看电视上的比赛,指出观看者可以置身事外,对结果毫不关心,得到无所顾忌的快乐。第二段从“快乐”过渡到“也需要一定的代价”,开始论述看球赛与亲自参与球赛之间巨大的差异。显然,这两段之间是很自然的承接关系,[A]项为正确答案。类比应该是不同事物的相似之处的比较,而这两段主要讲的是亲身经历和电视上的不同。这两段中也不存在例证的证明关系,所以[B]项和[D]项错误。第一、二段在全文中占了很大篇幅,不应该只是细节,[C]项错误。

  • 第15题:

    According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is true of colours?

    A Colors are encoded in girls' DNA

    B Blue used to be regarded as the color for girls

  • 第16题:

    The word “phonograph” (Line 5-6, Paragraph 1) most probably means_____.

    [A] record player

    [B] radio

    [C] musical technique

    [D] music culture


    正确答案:A

    本题考查词意理解。“phonograph”一词出现在第一段第五句,该句指出,“‘phonograph’被发明以前,我们听不到任何音乐表演的声音,只能通过乐器研究过去的音乐文化”。由此可知,该词指的是一种能够记录声音并被用于音乐文化研究的物质。[A]为正确答案。[B]虽然也有声音,但无法用于音乐研究。此外,也可以通过词根词缀法猜测词意。phono-相当于sound,表示“声音”;-graph表示“书写、描绘或记录的器具,机械”。“记录声音的机器”就是“录音机”。

  • 第17题:

    单选题
    According to Paragraph 2, who are most likely to be poor?
    A

    Women of color.

    B

    White women.

    C

    Men of color.

    D

    White men.


    正确答案: A
    解析:
    推理判断题。根据题干信息定位到第二段第一二句话“Black or Hispanic women are four times as likely to be low-wage workers as are white men”“White women are more than three times as likely as white men to be low-wage workers”,由此可知,黑人女性或者西班牙裔女性成为低工资劳动者的可能性是具有同等技能和经验的白人男性的4倍,白人女性成为低工资劳动者的可能性比白人男性高3倍多,两种比较的参照标准都是白人男性,因此成为低工资劳动者可能性最高的人群是黑人或西班牙裔女性,而她们属于有色人种,故答案为A项。

  • 第18题:

    单选题
    The case of the poisonous mushrooms (paragraph 2) suggests that American doctors ______.
    A

    should pay more attention to radio reports.

    B

    only read medical articles published in English.

    C

    is sometimes unwilling to try foreign treatments.

    D

    does not always communicate effectively with their patients.


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    根据题干提示及关键词poisonous mushroom可以定位到原文的第二段“Why had the American doctors not heard of it seven years later? Presumably because the report of the treatment had been published only in journals written in European languages other than English”,由此可以推断出美国医生之所以7年后才听说了毒蘑菇事件是因为他们平时只看英语写成的医疗资料,因此可知正确答案应该是B。

  • 第19题:

    A

    terribly attacked by

    B

    intermingled with

    C

    greatly influenced by

    D

    largely shaped by


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    细节题。第二段第二句指出“It is a culture bombarded by English, in advertising, pop music, the Internet, and despite all the English that Danish absorbs-there is no Danish Academy to defend against it.”,此处bombarded形容“丹麦文化中充斥着英国元素”,由此可知丹麦文化深受英国影响。因此选项C符合题意。

    C

    family background

    D

    management style


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    由第一段第一句可知,Jack Welch的管理风格成为全国商学院的课堂教学内容,因此他以管理风格而著称。故D项为正确答案。

  • 第21题:

    单选题
    The words “a major label” in Paragraph 4 most probably refers to a.
    A

    government agency

    B

    podcasting director

    C

    public radio station

    D

    record company


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    推断题。a major label出现在第四段首句。第三段提到KEXP无法播客诸如John in the Morning一类的节目,给出的原因是“record companies haven’t provided an easy, affordable way for podcasters to license songs”(唱片公司没有为做播客的人license songs提供一种简便且支付得起的方式)。该引用部分所在句意为“KEXP决定不能再无所事事地等着a major label来阻止它们播出”,由此可知a major label指的就是上文提到的record companies(唱片公司),因此选D。

    解析:
    第三段开头写作者小时候觉得姑姑很漂亮,想和哥哥搬到她家住。由此可知作者原本是爱他姑姑的。第五六句写了这种感情的变化,她让作者感到可怜反感和恐惧。因此选A。hate是“憎恨,厌恶”的意思,语气太重。
