No subjects can be taught successfully merely through being approached with intent to take examinations. In addition, the most undesirable effect is that examinations encourage bad study habits. As the exami

40、Rand，明白本题出自第一段，虽然第一段没有 author 一词，但内容就是作者的观点态度。 仔细阅读第一段。看选项，理解选项 B 与原文的同义替换：widely consumed=eating too much；despite=yet；reputation=know；注意 ill 一词其实对应原文中 junk(垃圾)一词，都是负面含义。其他三个选项中 educated，temptation，harm 原文首段没有提及。(2).What do the Rand researchers think of many of the policy measures to control obesity

42、政策措施。但在第四段出现的 In contrast 后说“那些假定人们不理性的控酒管理规定是成功的”。第三段和第四段联合阅读，归纳出：人们做选择是 not rational(不理性的)，控制肥胖症的政策措施不成功，是因为基础假设错了。 本题属于难题，对应原文第二、三、四段，尤其需要对第三、四段意思进行深入理解归纳。注意 C 选项中：assumption=assume；based on=therefore；wrong=In contrast，not，successfully。(3).Why do policymakers of alcohol control place density rest

43、rictions?（分数：2.00）A.Few people are able to resist alcohol“s temptations.B.There are already too many stores selling alcohol.C.Drinking strong alcohol can cause social problems.D.Easy access leads to customers“ over-consumption. 解析：解析 density restrictions 回原文继续阅读，发现第六段首句出现定位词。 找原因，发现 These make.表达了这样

44、做的原因(对应 leads to)，让酒类商品 less easy to get。注意 D 选项中 access=get。(4).What is the purpose of California“s rule about alcohol display in gas stations?（分数：2.00）A.To effectively limit the density of alcohol outlets.B.To help drivers to give up the habit of drinking.C.To prevent possible traffic jams in near

45、by areas.D.To get alcohol out of drivers“ immediate sight. 解析：解析 California 回原文继续阅读，发现第八段首句出现定位词。 找限制展示的 purpose。读到 At supermarkets，food companies pay to have their Wares in D1aces where they“re easily seen. 注意 easily seen：D 选项中 immediate sight。本题需理解段落大意，出题并不直接，可用真经派排除法检查。(5).What is the general gui

46、deline the Rand researchers suggest about junk food control?（分数：2.00）A.Guiding people to make rational choices about food.B.Enhancing people“s awareness of their own health.C.Borrowing ideas from alcohol control measures.
