11、hire 5000 includes both small-and large-company stocks and is weighted to represent all U.S.-headquartered securities. 分析 特定信息的找寻和判断。 根据题干中提到的特定信息找寻原文，发现“The Russell 2000 includes 2000 small-company stocks”，由此可见，选项 B的说法符合题意，是正确答案。 解题关键 找寻特定信息要迅速排除干扰项。本题中各种专有名词和数字的信息量颇大，需要迅速排除这些信息的干扰，才能快速准确地找到正确答案。(2
12、).What can be inferred about old nepotism? A.Parents maximized the family advantages for the benefits of their children. B.Parents gave full respect to the likes and dislikes of their children. C.Children had their own choice of career and marriage. D.Children willingly lived on the expectations of
13、their families.（分数：2.00）A. B.C.D.解析：解析 The new nepotism operates not from the top down but from the bottom up: it is voluntary, not coercive; it springs from the initiative of children, not the interest of the parents; it tends to seem “natural“ rather than planned. Although no nepotism in the class
14、ic sense, it is rightly nepotism because it involves exploiting the family name, connections, or wealth. The method may be different, but the result is much the same. 分析 语义的推理判断。 原文表面上没有提到 old nepotism(旧式裙带关系)，但根据文中关于 new nepotism的说法可以推断出答案。根据原文第一句“The new nepotism operates not from the top down but
15、 from the bottom up”，可推测出旧式的裙带关系强调 the top down(自上而下)，显然这里的“上”指“父母”，“下”指“子女”；此外从第一句后部的 not和 rather than结构可推测，其中的内容直指 old nepotism的特点，即：coercive(强迫的)；the interest of the parents (父母的利益)；planned(有计划的)；由第二句话可推测两种 nepotism都“involve exploiting the family name, connections, or wealth”即“利用家族的声望、关系或财富(使孩子受益
16、)”，从上述推测中可知，选项 A的说法“父母最大限度地利用家庭优势，使孩子受益”符合题意，是正确答案。 解题关键 1) 掌握根据反义词推断语义的方法，如根据原文中种种 new nepotism的说法推断出 old nepotism；2) 掌握同义词替换，如原文中 exploiting与选项 maximize近义。(3).Which of the following statements is BNOT/B true of the passage?

It is widely acknowledged today that trade is a vitally important element in any program for development, as it can deliver benefits to developin
19、g countries worth many times more than all the development aid they receive. 分析 事实细节的识别和判断。 原文主要谈论在 Qatari首都部长会议达成的共识，即：发展中国家在发展过程中，从贸易中得到的利益远比从援助中得到的利益多。但文中并没有提及将要举行高峰会议讨论国际贸易问题，因此选项 B的说法与原文不符，因此是正确答案。 解题关键 掌握主题及支持性细节是本题关键。本文主题是贸易发展，支持性细节包括贸易发展共识的介绍及其背景。而选项 B的内容不包括在其中。(4).Which of the following is
20、BNOT/B true of meditation? A.It relieves the pain of cancer. B.It counteracts the effect of depression. C.It has mystic elements.

In a confluence of Eastern mysticism and western science, doctors
22、 are embracing meditation not because they think its hip or cool but because scientific studies are beginning to show that it works, particularly for stress-related conditions. 分析 事实细节的找寻和判断。 根据题干要求在原文中找寻关于 meditation的说法，原文第一句中“to prevent, slow or at least control the pain ofcancer”可与选项 A的说法对应；原文“to
23、 restore balance in the face of such psychiatric disturbances as depression”可与选项 B 的说法对应；原文“In a confluence of Eastern mysticism”可与选项 C的说法对应；只有选项 D的说法在原文中找不到对应，因此该选项是正确答案。 解题关键 1) 找到类属于主题的关键词有助于迅速排除选项，如可将文中有关的关键词cancer，depression 和 mysticism一一与选项对照；2) 同义词替换，可帮助判断选项的说法是否正确，如原文中 control the pain与选项中 r
24、elieve同义；restore balance 与 counteract同义。(5).Which of the following statements is BNOT/B true of comedy according to the passage? A.Present comedy is funnier than the past. B.Peoples conception on comedy remains unchanged for decades. C.Contemporary comedy tends to be superficial. D.Old comedy was co
25、nsidered thought-provoking.（分数：2.00）A.B. C.D.解析：解析 Its a trick that time and memory play on us: Comedylike glamour or courage, is never what it used to be. The present may sometimes make us laugh the hardest, but we like to tell ourselves that the past makes us laugh the best. Todays emphasis on phy
26、sical comedy is perhaps a natural reaction to the more cerebral comedy of the past two decades. 分析 对比表达的识别和判断。 原文将喜剧的过去和现在加以对比，听者可发现“The presentlaugh the hardest, the pastlaugh the best. Todayphysical comedy, cerebral comedy of the past“。由此可判断，人们对喜剧的看法是有变化，而非一成不变的。因此，选项 B的说法符合题意，是正确答案。 解题关键 掌握表示对立概念

In Japan, only eight elderly people spoke Ainu on Hokkaido Island by the late 1980s after
32、 decades of official neglect, but promotional policies have since revived the language. 分析 主旨题。 原文第一句指出研究表明世界上大约 6000种语言中有一半正在消亡的危险中，而且人类知识也会随消亡的语言而消失，接着作者具体介绍了语言消亡的情况，分析了语言消亡的原因和某些国家为拯救语言所采取的措施及效果等。总之，本文内容均与语言的消亡有关。由此可见，虽然 A项“加速语言消亡的原因”和 D项“政府的语言政策”都与本文主题有关，但 A、D 所述只是文章所谈论的内容之一，只有 C项含义“语言消亡加速”与全文主要
33、内容相符，概括适度，是正确答案。 解题关键 重点把握篇章的首句，一般该句点明全篇主题。(2).According to the study, how many languages are under threat now? A. 6,000 or so. B. Over 3,000. C. 6,000 or more. D.

C.D.解析：解析 事实细节的找寻和判断。 综合文中提到的语言，如 English，French，Spanish and Russian和 Ainu，可判断只有 B项“德语”没有在文中提到。因此该项是正确答案。 解题关键
35、 根据题干特点，重点听文中关于语言的专有名词。(4).Why is the case of Ainu, the Japanese dialect, mentioned in the passage? A. As an example of endangered language. B. To show the diversity of languages in Japan. C.

36、se government.（分数：2.00）A.B.C. D.解析：解析 逻辑关系的找寻和判断。 原文中提到 Ainu这种语言时说 While sounding the alarm，it notes that a determined multilingual approach can rescue even the most threatened tongues 即执行坚定的多语政策可拯救最受消亡威胁的语言。通过上下文可知，该句是后一句的主题，下面一句以日本为例说明该国对濒临灭绝的 Ainu实施的推广政策，使该语言得到复兴。显然 C项的说法符合上下文的逻辑关系，是正确答案。 解题关键 把握

C.D.解析：解析 事实细节的找寻和判断。 根据原文 However，the past 300 years or so have seen a dramatic increase in the death or disappearance of languages. 可知，某些语言的加速消亡是近300年来出现的事情。因此 B 的说法“语言的加速消亡 200年前才开始出现”与原文不符，是正确答案。 解题关键 掌握某些词汇或短语
39、的同义替换，是事实细节找寻和判断的重要手段。如本题中需掌握原文中 a dramatic increase与选项中 acceleration是同义替换。五、BPassage Two/B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following statements is tree of the new building? A.

Early proponents of more energy-efficient architecture included William McDonough, Bruce Fowle and Robert F
