1Wccaninferfromthefirstparagraphthat.

A、U.S.willspendmoreonresearch

B、Obamaobjectedtotheprojecttomapthehumanbrain

C>Obamapraisedscienlibls'endeavourunscicnlificrubuaruh

D、regenerativemedicineisanareaAmericafocusesonforlong

標準答案：C

知識點解析：根據(jù)選項［A］定位到文章首段最后兩句：Thiswouldmeanspending

moreonre—search.AsTheEconomistwenttopress-America'sgovernmentwas

abouttodotheopposite.最后一句意為：美國政府卻將反其道而行。可見美國不會

在研究領(lǐng)域投入更多開支，因此選項［A］是錯誤的。選項［B］對應(yīng)該段第三句：He

praisedprojectstomapthehumanbrainandaccelerateregenerativemedicine.可見

Obama對于繪制人腦圖的態(tài)度是支持的，而非反對的，故該項錯誤。根據(jù)“…called

fbraneweraofscientificdiscovery”以及“Hepraisedprojectstomapthehu—manbrain

andaccelerateregenerativemedicine”可知選項［C］項是正確的。文章提到了regencr

ativemedicine,但并沒有說美國關(guān)注這個領(lǐng)域已經(jīng)很久了，forlong一詞在原文未

體現(xiàn)，故選項［D］錯誤。

2、Governmentexpenditureisplannedtobesqueezedbecauseof.

A、toomuchloansandforeigndebts

B、thelong-termbrawloverspending

C、toomuchspendingonmilitaryprograms

D、thelong-termargumentaboutthefiscaldeficit

標準答案：D-

知識點解析：根據(jù)題干定位到第二段首句：Federalspendingisduetobecut...

題干中的governmentexpenditure=federalspending；isplannedto=isdueto；be

squeezed=becut。故確定答案來源為該句話。原文中的theresultof相當于題干中的

becauseof,故本題答案原文為：alongbrawloverthedeficit(長期關(guān)于財政赤字的爭

吵).與選項［D］lhelong—termargumentaboutthefiscaldeficit相符。其中，

long=Iong-term；brawl二argument；deficit=fiscaldeficito故答案為選項［D］。

3、Theunderlinedword'sequester"(Para2,Line2)refersto.

A、reductionofspending

B、brawloverthedeficit

CNdysfunctionofCongress

D、augmentoffederalspending

標準答案：A

知識點解析：首先確定答案來源，即第二段第一、二句：Federalspendingisdueto

becutonMarch1st,theresultofalongbrawloverthedeficit.Complexpolitics

triggeredthis"sequester”...因為文中出現(xiàn)this<<sequester,\由this一詞可以得知

“sequester”在上文應(yīng)該出現(xiàn)過，故確定解題信息來自上一句，即第二段第一句,提

取該句主干信息，得出：Federalspendingisduetobecut.故可以確定“sequester”指

代”聯(lián)邦支出將被削減L四個選項中，與之相關(guān)的是選項［A］和［D］兩項，其中選項

［A］中的“reduction減少”對應(yīng)"cut削減”；而選項［D］中的“augment增加”與之相反,

故確定本題答案為選項［A］。

4、WclearnfromParagraphs3&4that.

A、Americaisnomoretheworld'sNo.1enginefbrinnovation

B、America'sdominanceinresearchisnotaseminentasbefore

C、ChinaspendstwicemoreonR&DcomparedwithAmerica

D、Chineseinvestmenthasdoubledfrom2000to2010

標準答案：B

知識點解析:選項［A］對應(yīng)第四段首句:Nevertheless,Americaremainstheworlds

biggestcngineforinnovation.可見該項錯誤，其中nomore與原文中的remains表達

意義相反。選項|B］對應(yīng)第三段首句：ForyearsAmericahasenjoyedpre-eminencein

research,butthisisfading.可見該項正確。其中“thisisfading”表示美國在研究領(lǐng)

域的領(lǐng)導地位正在衰退。選項［C］對應(yīng)原文第四段第三句：DespiteChina'srapid

ascent,AmericastillspendsmorethantwiceasmuchonR&D.可見美國開支是中國

的兩倍多，而非該項說的中國的開支比美國多了兩倍，故該項錯誤。選項［D］對應(yīng)

原文第三段第二句：Chineseinvestmcnt(includingbothpublicandprivate

money)morelhanquintupledfrom2000to2010,可見中國投資是翻了五倍，而非翻

了兩倍，因此該項錯誤。本題答案為選項［B］。

5、WeknowfromthelastparagraphthatNIH.

A、istheworld'sbiggestfunderofallmedicalresearch

B、paysforbasicscienceandlaterstagesofdevelopment

C、didn'tsupportearlyresearchofmonoclonalantibodies

D、playsanimportantroleinAmerica'smedicalresearch

標準答案：D

知識點解析：選項［A］對應(yīng)最后一段第二句:...(NIH)istheworld'sbiggestfunder

ofbiomedicalresearch.原文說的是biomedicalresearch,而非allmedicalresearch,

故選項［A］錯誤。選項［B］對應(yīng)第三句:Itpaysforriskybasicscience；companiespay

forlaterstagesofdevelopment.后期費用是由公司出的，而非NIH,故選項［B］錯

誤。選項［C］對應(yīng)第四句：Forexample,theNIHsup—portedearlyresearchinto

monoclonalantibodies.可見該項與原文是黑白顛倒，故錯誤。原文先提到：

(NIH)istheworld'sbiggestfunderofbiomedicalresearch.后又提到：Asdrugfirms

trimtheirbudget,theNIH'sworkisbecomingevenmorevital.可見選項［D］表達是正

確的。

6、AccordingtoParagraph1,whichofthefollowingistrue?

A、Microsoftistheonlysoftwaregiantintheworld.

B、AgreatmajorityofPCsuseWindowsasoperatingsystem.

C、TherearemanyalternativesforusersexceptInternetExplorer.

D、TheCommissionfoundnoevidenceofMicrosoft'sabuseofitsdominance.

標準答案：B

知識點解析：選項［AJ對應(yīng)原文第二句的前半句，文章提到微軟是美國軟件巨頭，

但沒有說是世界唯一巨頭，theonly過于絕對，故該項錯誤。選項［B］對應(yīng)第二句的

后半句：Windows,theoperatingsysteminthegreatmajorityofpersonal

computers.該項是把這個句子換個表達方式，是同義替屣關(guān)家。故正確。選項［C］

對應(yīng)該段最后一句:...buyaPC,andunlessyoutookthetroubleofchoosing

otherwise*youwouldbrowsethewebthroughExplorer.可見用戶并非有許多選擇，

該項錯誤。選項［D］對應(yīng)該段最后一句：This,thoughtthecommission,mightbean

abuseofitsdominanceinoperatingsystems.該委員會只是這樣認為，并沒有提及證

據(jù)的問題，故該項錯誤。綜上所述，該題答案為選項［B］。

7、Microsoftwasfinedbecause.

A、itexcludedothercompetitors

B、itabuseditsdominanceinsoftware

C、ithadabiglapseinitsoperatingsystem

D、itdidnotincludethechoicescreenaspromised

標準答案：D

知識點解析：答案出現(xiàn)在第三段：…butMicrosoftforgottokeepitsword.OnMarch

6ththecompeti—tioncommissioner,JoaquinAlmunia,saidhehadfinedit

561m($732m)fornotincludingthcchoiccscreen...可見微軟受到罰款的原因是not

includingthechoicescreen,故答案為選項［D］。

8、WhichoneisNOTtrueforMicrosoft?

A、RecentlyithasbeenaccusedbyGoogle.

B、Ithasbeenfinedseverallimesinhistory.

C、Itsbrowserhasbeensurpassedbyitsrivals.

D^It'snotspecializedinbrowserontabletcomputers.

標準答案：A

知識點解析：根據(jù)Microsoft和出題順序定位到四、五兩段。選項［A］對應(yīng)第五段最

后一句：LatelyithasbeenamongtheaccusersofGoogle…其中it指彳弋Microsoft,

accuser的意思為“原告”，從該句可知是Microsoft控告Google；故該項與原文是黑

白顛倒，故該項表述錯誤，即該項為該題答案。選項|B］對應(yīng)第五段。第五段提

至lj：In2004itwasfined...；In2008itcoppedan-other899mpenalty…（其中penalty

表示“處罰，罰金”）由此可以判斷該項“微軟在歷史上被罰過好幾次”的表述正確?！?/p>

選項［C］對應(yīng)第四段第二句：ExplorerhasfallenbehindChrome,madebyGoogle,

andFirefox,madebyMozilla...其中Explorer=itsbrowser：hasfallenbehind

ChromeandFirefox=hasbeensurpassedbyitsrivalso故該項正確。選項［D］對應(yīng)第四

段最后一句：Andpeoplearedoingmoreandmorebrowsingonsmartphonesand

tablets,thedomainofAople,Googleandtheirbrowsers.該句指出，智能手機和平

板電腦瀏覽器是Apple和Google的領(lǐng)域范圍，故可以推斷該項“微軟的專長不是平

板電腦瀏覽器”的表述正確。綜上所述，本題答案為選項［A］。

9、ThecommissionerbelievesallEXCEPTthat.

A、Googlemayfavouritsownservicesatrival'scost

B、GoogleabusesitsdomianceinPCoperatingsystems

C>Googlepreventsadvertisersfromtakingtheirdataelsewhere

D、thewayGoogledealswithpublishersmayexcludecompetitors

標準答案：B

知識點解析：根據(jù)題干定位到第六段第三句：ThecommissionerbelievesthatGoogle

maybefavouringitsownspecialisedservicesatrivaPsexpense；thatitsdealswith

publishersmayunfairlyex-eludecompetitors；andthatitpreventsadvertisersfrom

takingtheirdataelsewhere.選項［A］、［C］和［D］的內(nèi)容均出現(xiàn)了，而選項［B］是張冠

李戴，在電腦操作系統(tǒng)濫用主導地位的是Microsofi而非Google。故該項為答案。

10、Wecaninferfromthelastparagraphthat.

A、Europeanantitrustcasesusuallyendquickly

B、Googlewillsoonproposeawaytosolveitsproblem

C、Microsoftmaybemoreexperiencedindealingwithantitrustcases

D、Monopolyintheareaofonlinesearchandoperatingsystemwillsoonvanish

標準答案：C

知識點解析：選項［A］對應(yīng)該段倒數(shù)第二句：Europeanantitrustcaseshaveahabitof

draggingon.可見歐洲反壟斷案例的特點是總是拖著，而不是很快結(jié)束，故該項錯

誤。選項|B］對應(yīng)該段第二句：Hehasnotyetsaidwhatitsuggestedorhowhewill

respond.可見谷歌并沒有很快提出一個解決方案。故該項錯誤。文章第五段提到

微軟在歐洲反壟斷案件中多次被罰款，最后一段乂說：還是問問微軟吧?？梢娢④?/p>

在處理類似問題上比較有經(jīng)驗，所以該項表達是正確的。選項［D］意為“網(wǎng)絡(luò)搜索和

操作系統(tǒng)領(lǐng)域的壟斷現(xiàn)象將很快消失“，該段及整個文章都沒涉及這一問題，該項

屬于無中生有，故錯誤。綜上所述，本題答案為選項［0。

11、AccordingtoParagraph1,whichisNOTtrue?

A^ThefirstonlinepurchasewasmadebyAmazon.

Somepeoplebuycarsinordertorentthemout.

C、Whenonlineshoppingappeared,peopleworriedaboutitssafety.

D^Sharingeconomymayprovidenoopportunitiesforindividuals.

標準答案：D

知識點解析：選項［A］對應(yīng)原文第三句：Buihavingmadeasuccessfulpurchase

from,say,Ama-zon,theyfeltsafebuyingelsewhere.可見第一次網(wǎng)絡(luò)交易是由

亞馬遜完成的。該項表述是正確的。選項［B］對應(yīng)最后一句：Somepeoplehave

boughtearssolelytorentthemout,forexample.該表達正確。即不是答案。選項

［C］對應(yīng)原文開頭兩句：Thesharingeconomyisalittlelikeon-lineshopping,which

startedinAmerica15yearsago.Atfirst,peoplewereworriedaboutsecurity.可見該

項表述也是正確的，即非答案。選項［D］對應(yīng)原文倒數(shù)第二句：Thesamemay

happenwiththesharingeconomy,whichalsoprovidesnewopportunitiesfor

enterprise.可見原文說共享經(jīng)濟為企業(yè)提供機會，但并沒說不為個人提供機會，故

選項［D］為答案。

12、WalmartandTescoarementionedto.

A^demonstratethepowerofInternet

B、showthepotentialofonlinesharing

C、revealtheinlluenceofonlineshopping

D、provethedominanceofcertaincompanies

標準答案：B

知識點解析：根據(jù)題干中的WalmarlandTesco定位到第二段最后一句：Juslas

InternetshoppingforcedWalmartandTescotoadapt,soonlinesharingwillshakeup

transport,tourism,equipment—hireandmore.文章提到Walmart和Tesco是為了

說明下半句：網(wǎng)絡(luò)共享經(jīng)濟會重組交通運輸業(yè)、旅游業(yè)、設(shè)備租賃等行業(yè)。該句突

出一個詞onlinesharing,而四個選項中只有選項［B］含有這個詞，故本題選項

［B］<4showthepotentialofonlinesharing顯示網(wǎng)絡(luò)共享經(jīng)濟的潛力”為答案。

13、.Onepotentialproblemwithsharingis.

A、difficultyinsupervision

B、disruptionofeconomy

C、instabilityofmarket

D、uncertaintyoffirms

標準答案:A

知識點解析：根據(jù)題干“onepotentialproblemwithsharing共享經(jīng)濟的一個潛在問

題”定位到第三段首句：Themainworryisregulatoryuncertainty.其中，potential

problem對應(yīng)mainworry,故答案原文為“regulatoryuncertainty管理的不確定性

四個選項分別為:［AJdifficultyinsupervi—sion監(jiān)管困難;［B］disruptionofeconomy

擾亂經(jīng)濟；?instabilityofmarket市場的不穩(wěn)定性；［D］uncertaintyoffirms企業(yè)的

不確定性。這四個選項中，與regulatoryuncertainty接近的選項是［A］,故該項為答

案。

14、Welearnfromthelastparagraphthat.

A、sharingeconomywillnotgolong

B、sharingeconomyrevealsconsumers,value

C>regulatorsandcompaniesshouldrealizesharingeconomy

D、sharingeconomywillreplacetraditionalwaysinthenearfuture

標準答案：C

知識點解析：選項［A］屬于無中生有，錯誤。選項［B］對應(yīng)該段第一句：Thesharing

economyisthelatestexampleoftheInternet'svaluetoconsumers.可見共享經(jīng)濟體現(xiàn)

出互聯(lián)網(wǎng)對于客戶的價值，而非體現(xiàn)顧客價值，故該項錯誤。選項［C］對應(yīng)該段第

二句：Thisemergingmodelisnowbiganddis-ruptiveenoughfbrregulatorsand

companiestohavewokenuptoit.其中wakeupto=realize,it指代sharing

economy,故該項正確。這項［D］屬于無中生看。綜上所述，本題答案為選項［C］。

15、Thebesttitleforthetextmaybe.

A、SharingEconomyandOnlineShopping

B>TheImmensePotentialofSharingEconomy

C>TheEmergencyofSharingEconomyandItsConcerns

D^SharingEconomyWillReshapeTraditionalIndustriesSoon

標準答案：C

知識點解析：主旨題可以通過各段首句提取。第一段首句：Thesharingeconomyis

alittlelikeonlincshopping,whichstartedinAmerica15yearsago.第二段首句：

Incumbentsaregettingin—volvedtoo.第三段首句：Themainworryisregulatory

uncertainty.第四段首句：Thesharingecono-myisthelatestexampleoftheInternet's

valuetoconsumers.分析：文章反復(fù)出現(xiàn)和討論的關(guān)鍵信息是sharingeconomy共

享經(jīng)濟，而提到。nlineshopping僅僅是為了作比較.故我們可以先排除選項［A］。

選項［D］原文有提到，但是沒有提到soon一詞，且這個詞過于絕對，該項可以排

除。選項IB］在原文也有體現(xiàn)，但是不夠全面，因為第三段首句的mainworry告訴

我們該段主要討論共享經(jīng)濟的主要問題，故選項［C］表述比較全面，即為答案。
