15、析 數(shù)字信息的找尋和判斷。 根據(jù)原文可知，男人在 25 歲以前的 10 年中身體狀態(tài)、各項(xiàng)機(jī)能處于最高峰，但 不知為什么， women get a five-year bonus 即女人的高峰時(shí)期比男人還多五年。由此可見，原文并未討 論女性壽命比男性長的問題。因此，題干的說法與原文不符。 解題關(guān)鍵 能夠?qū)㈥P(guān)鍵信息總結(jié)歸納。如 將本題中幾個(gè)最高級(jí)表達(dá) firmest ， highest 和 most efficient 總結(jié)歸納，可知本段主題討論身體最佳狀 態(tài)或身體機(jī)能的高峰，顯然與題干中關(guān)鍵詞outlive “比活得長”不符。（3）.There is speculation that Mr.

24、解題關(guān)鍵正確理解as.as 結(jié)構(gòu)的含義是解題的關(guān)鍵。（2）.What is the relationship between the foreign firm affiliates and local firms in the country? （分?jǐn)?shù)： 2.00 ）A.

32、機(jī)， 由此可見，選項(xiàng)A、C的說法與原文相符；又根據(jù)原文 The brightest students. finished their multiple choice papers quickly then sent off the answers by text message to younger students outside the hall They forwarded the information to others who paid up to 1,000 dollars to take part可知，考場里最聰明的學(xué)生將多項(xiàng)選擇試卷中的答案做出后，將答案輸在手機(jī)上，以短信形式

33、發(fā)給考場外年紀(jì)小 一點(diǎn)的學(xué)生手中，那里，這些學(xué)生再將短信轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)給已付過一千美元的人，由此可見，C項(xiàng)說法與原文相符，而只有 D 項(xiàng)“一些考試者將答案轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)給已付過錢的人”說法與原文“考場外年輕一些的學(xué)生手中”不符， 因此該項(xiàng)為正確答案。 解題關(guān)鍵 理解復(fù)雜句各部分內(nèi)容的含義。(4) .Which of the following factors did NOT contribute to the smooth election?(分?jǐn)?shù)： 2.00)A.

36、以色列沒有對(duì)該選舉進(jìn)行干涉，且放寬對(duì)了巴勒 斯坦人的旅行禁令，并暫時(shí)停止了在該地區(qū)的軍事活動(dòng)。由此可見，上述內(nèi)容均有助于這次選舉的順利進(jìn) 行，A、C和D項(xiàng)均與原文相符，只有B項(xiàng)內(nèi)容“以色列幫助在選舉中維持秩序”原文未提。解題關(guān)鍵將原文重點(diǎn)表達(dá)進(jìn)行歸類， 進(jìn)行判斷。 本題原文中的 free and fair ， little ， eased 和 halted 雖詞性不同， 但都與題干中contribute to “有助于"意思相關(guān)，由此可順利解題。(5) .Where did Columbus first set foot on the New Continent?(分?jǐn)?shù)： 2.00

46、 and transform institutions like family ， religion and the military that are supposed to be based on self-sacrifice， loyalty and love 可知，個(gè)人主義的強(qiáng)大勢力很容易沖擊和改變某些社會(huì)單位， 如家庭、 宗教組織和軍隊(duì)等。 而這些組織應(yīng)該建立在自我犧牲、 忠誠和愛的基礎(chǔ)上。 由此可見， 講話者認(rèn)為家庭、軍隊(duì)等組織不應(yīng)受個(gè)人主義的影響，雖然其在社會(huì)中勢頭強(qiáng)大。因此A項(xiàng)內(nèi)容與原文意思相符，是正確答案。 解題關(guān)鍵 注意掌握相關(guān)信息中關(guān)鍵詞語的內(nèi)涵。如本題原文中 are s

51、putinto its search engine ，which has becomerenowned for its processing speed，ease of use and accuracy 由此可知， Google 公司的搜索引擎因處理速度快、簡單易用、準(zhǔn)確性高而聞名，而將置于該引擎下的材料 將十分廣泛，如果考慮到這一點(diǎn)，那么該公司此舉將影響深遠(yuǎn)。由此可見， B 項(xiàng)內(nèi)容與原文相符，該項(xiàng)為 正確答案。 解題關(guān)鍵 能夠掌握信號(hào)詞的用法。本題中原文 given（ 如果考慮到；倘若 ） 引導(dǎo)的從句表明 了原因。（4）.What conclusion can you make about
