第1题:

The most appropriate title for this text is.

[A]Differences between Two Webs

[B]The Humanization of Computer Software

[C]A New Solution to World Problems

[D]The Creator and His Next Creation


正确答案:D

本题通过选标题的形式考查了文章的主旨。文章主要介绍了著名科学家伯纳斯·李以及他将要研究出的语义万维网,所以[D]项正确。在分析中,为了说明将来的网络,把它和现在的万维网进行了比较,但这仅仅是为了更好说明语义万维网的优点。所以不选[A]项。[B]项是未来万维网的一个目标,只是文章所述内容的一个方面,不能作为文章主旨。[C]项在文章最后点到,也不是主旨。

The passage focuses on .

A. why Pepperberg decided to carry out the experiment

B. how Pepperberg proved her theory abottt animals' thoughts

C. the new way of communication Pepperberg proposed

D. the problems that Pepperberg faced in the experiment


正确答案:B
文章主旨题。文章主要讨论了Pepperberg从选择Alex做试验到证明其观点的过程,因此B项符合题意。
参考译文:
近期毕业于哈佛大学的Irene Pepperberg在1977年曾做过一个非常勇敢的尝试,她试图通过对话的方式了解其他生物的思维。她买了一只一岁的非洲灰鹦鹉,取名Alex并带到她的实验室教它复述英语发音。Alex是Pepperberg在芝加哥一家宠物店买到的,她让店员替她挑选以免其他科学家说她刻意挑选了一只格外聪明的鸟作为实验对象。得知Alex的大脑只有胡桃大小,大多数的研究者认为Pepperberg跨种族交际研究将会以失败告终。
Alex去年九月以31岁高龄去世。当Pepperberg刚开始与Alex对话时,许多科学家认为动物是无法进行思维的。但是Pepperberg说:“我认为如果它学会交流,我就可以询问它对世界的看法。”当然她无法询问Alex在想什么,但是她可以问它所掌握的关于数字、形状以及颜色的知识。作为示范,Pepperberg拿出一片绿色的钥匙和一只绿色的杯子放到Alex眼前。
“相同之处是什么?”她问。
A1ex毫不犹豫的回答:“颜色。”
“不同之处是什么?”她又问。
“形状,”Alex回答。它的声音像是卡通角色的电子声一般,但是所用的词汇以及可以称之为思想的东西完完全全是属于它自己的。
随后,仿佛要证明它的脑袋里是有思想这个事实一般,Alex在Pepperberg实验室里另一只年轻些的鸟将“green”这个词的读音弄错时大声说道:“说清楚点!”
“为了分辨水果是否成熟,它们需要区别颜色,”Pepperberg谈到,“为了辨识敌人,他们需要辨别形状。为了跟随自己的族群,他们需要拥有数字的概念。对于一只长命的鸟来说,它不可能完全依靠动物本能来做到这一切,认知的能力是必不可少的。”

第6题:

Which of the following describes the paradox of the schools?

A.Discrepancy between what they say and what they do.
B.Differences between teachers' problems and schools' problems.
C.Advantages and disadvantages of students’ learning opportunities.
D.Students' perception and the reality of their performance on assessments.

答案:D
解析:
细节题。根据关键词定位到第四段。根据原文“Their achievement results fed into the implicit mission of schools:the greater the spread of achievement among students, the more it reinforcedthe rank order. This is why, if some students gave up and stopped trying (even dropped out of school),that wasregarded as the student's problem, not the teacher's or the school's.”可知,学生之间成绩流传得越广,成绩的排名就越固定。结合前文及此处内容,也就是说成绩决定了学生学习的态度,态度决定了他们的排名表现。故本题选D。

第7题:


Which of the following was NOT an effect of the change in business procedures?( )

A.An increase in credit sales.
B.The use of courier services between cities.
C.The adoption of simpler accounting procedures.
D.The improvement of roads.

答案:C
解析:
细节题。根据题干关键词effect,the change定位到文章第二段。题干中出现大写EXCEPT/NOT等明显表示否定的词时,要求选出与原文事实信息不符的选项,属于否定事实信息题。本题可根据文章第二段内容逐一排除。A项“赊销的增长”与第二段最后一句话相对应,该商业城市间兴起常规的快递服务指出商人之间互相信任促进了赊销的增长。B项“城市之间使用快递服务”与第二段第二句对应,即商业城市之间常规的快递服务开始兴起。C项“采用更简单的会计程序”与原文第二段第三句中Commercial accounting became more complex的表述不符。第二段倒数第二句指出公路收费变高,能为道路改革提供资金,因此D项“改善了道路状况”符合原文。
