是世界杯會傳播巴西的美名，但是這是一般巴西人的想法不是政府的。C項(xiàng)符合要求。B的內(nèi)容在文中沒有提到，D講它產(chǎn)生了許多工作，這只是促進(jìn)經(jīng)濟(jì)的一方面，不夠全面。因此，正確答案是C。2、B［解析］推斷題。本題要我們從“、但是研究這一事件的私人分析家卻不那么積極樂觀〃這一句話推斷。這句話的實(shí)際意思就是他們不相信實(shí)際情況像政府所說的，世界杯產(chǎn)生的效益沒有那么好，也存在問題。A項(xiàng)講的是他們不相信當(dāng)局的話，可以推斷出。C講的是世界杯沒有像當(dāng)局說的那樣帶來這么大經(jīng)濟(jì)刺激。也可以推斷出。D項(xiàng)講世界杯也有不好的影響，也可以推斷出。B世界杯對巴西來說不是好事，這太絕對了，無法推斷出。因此，正確答案是B。3、D［解析］細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干中的人名ChrisGaffney可以定位到文中的ChrisGaffney,believesthesefiguresareexaggerated."Idon'tthinkthatthey'veinvestedenoughmoneytocreatethosekindsofpermanentjobs.InthescaleoftheBrazilianeconomy,we'renotlookingatthatmuchmoneybeinginvested.It's30billiondollarsinvestedina$1trillioneconomy，從中可以看出他認(rèn)為考慮到巴西的經(jīng)濟(jì)實(shí)力它無法投入能產(chǎn)生這么多工作的資金，這與D項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容相符，因此，正確答案是D。4、A［解析］推斷題。根據(jù)題干中的hospitalityandinfrastructure可以定位到第五段，作者先^TAnotherexpert,LisaDelpyNeirottiofGeorgeWashingtonUniversity'sbusinessschoolintheUnitedStates,saystherealeconomicbenefitsofsucheventsarelesstangibleandmorelong-term接著舉例后面有關(guān)hospitalityandinfrastructure的例子，所以可以推斷出，這兩個(gè)例子是證明前面一句話的，即這一類事件真正的經(jīng)濟(jì)效益是不太明顯，長期的。這與A項(xiàng)的意思相符。因此，正確答案是A。5、C［解析］態(tài)度題。本文先是介紹了政府的觀點(diǎn)，接著列舉了私人分析家的觀點(diǎn)，最后介紹了普通巴西民眾的反應(yīng)，自始至終是采取一種客觀中立的態(tài)度，沒有什么來自作者的評論。因此，正確答案是C。6、D［解析］細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考查的是當(dāng)今玩家的成分，可以定位到第一段中的Todayagamerisaslikelytobeamiddle-agedcommuterplaying"AngryBirds"onhersmartphone.InAmerica,thebiggestmarket,theaveragegame-playeris37yearsold.Two-fifthsarefemale從這里可以看出，現(xiàn)在的玩家大多是成年人，其中五分之二是女性。因此，D項(xiàng)符合文意。A項(xiàng)講的是青少年是之前的情況，B項(xiàng)講的不準(zhǔn)確，文中只是提到這個(gè)游戲，沒有說所有玩家都熱衷。C項(xiàng)也不正確，女性只占五分之二，不到半數(shù)。因此，正確答案是D。7、A［解析］細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干中的videogames可以定位到第四段，從文中Meanwhilerapidimprovementsincomputingpowerhaveallowedgamedesignerstoofferexperiencesthatarenowoftenmorecinematicthanthecinema,從中可以看出科技使游戲設(shè)計(jì)者可以制造出超越電影院的體驗(yàn)。A項(xiàng)中的awesomeexperiences是對原文中的同義轉(zhuǎn)述，符合原文。B、C在原文沒有直接提及。D是畫面逼真，這是完美體驗(yàn)的一部分。因此，正確答案是A。8、C［解析］細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干中的"freemium"models可以定位到文中的Inanerawhenpeoplearedisinclinedtopayforcontentontheweb,gamespublisherswerequicktodevelop"freemium"models,whereyourelyonnon-payingcustomerstobuildanaudienceandthenextractcashonlyfromafanaticalfew。由此可知這個(gè)模式主要是通過免費(fèi)玩來創(chuàng)造巨大的玩家群體，而只從少數(shù)狂熱玩家身上獲取利潤。C項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容與此相對應(yīng)。A、B項(xiàng)只是這個(gè)模式的一部分，不全面。D項(xiàng)講的不是原文的意思。因此，正確答案是C。9、C［解析］細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考查的是中國的游戲公司如何賺錢?？梢远ㄎ坏轿闹械腇irmsinsteadmakemoneybysellingin-gameperksand"virtualgoods"todedicatedplayers，由此可見中國的公司主要通過賣游戲中的裝備和虛擬物品來賺錢。C項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容與此相符。A、B、D項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容在文中都沒有直接提及。因此，正確答案是C。10、B［解析］主旨題。本題要我們選最恰當(dāng)?shù)臉?biāo)題，就是選文章的主題。本文主要講了游戲產(chǎn)業(yè)的現(xiàn)狀、其發(fā)展的兩大動(dòng)力，以及它在營銷方面的出色之處等內(nèi)容。顯而易見，本文主要講的是游戲產(chǎn)業(yè)，B項(xiàng)符合。A、C、D項(xiàng)都是文章中的很小的一方面。因此，正確答案是B。11、B［解析］細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考查的是對于這款汽車的了解。A項(xiàng)講這款車有流線型的風(fēng)格，從文中Moderncarsintheirquestforsleekerstyling可知這是現(xiàn)代汽車的特點(diǎn)，這里張冠李戴了。C項(xiàng)講它只是富人的車，從文中Itwasataxiformanyandafamilycarfortherich可知它也可以作為出租車，被一般人乘坐。D項(xiàng)講它仍然主導(dǎo)市場顯然不對，因?yàn)槲恼乱婚_始就指出ProductionoftheAmbassador,thefirstcartobemadeinIndia,hasbeenhaltedbecauseoffallingdemand，即因?yàn)樾枨笮∷．a(chǎn)了。因此，正確答案是B。12、C［解析］細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干中的theerarepresentedbyAmbassador可以定位到文中的Therecanbenodoubt,theAmbassador'sdeparturemarkstheendofanera.However,forme,it'sanerabestforgotten.TheAmbassadorwasasymbolofallthatwaswrongwithIndia'scontrolledeconomyanditsstiflingregulations從這里可以看出它代表的是計(jì)劃經(jīng)濟(jì)和死板的管理的時(shí)代，所以最好被遺忘。C項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容與此相符。其他的選項(xiàng)在文中都沒有提及。因此，正確答案是C。13、A［解析］推斷題。題干中的明確指出是第五段中的笑話，可以直接定位到文中Buyersweresaddledwithcarsofverybadquality,whichconstantlybrokedownandyetthewaitinglisttobuyonecouldstretchuptoeightyears!AndtherewereAmbassadorjokesaplenty,myfavouriteonebeing:"Theonlythingthatdoesn'tmakeasoundinanAmbassadoristhehorn!"，從這里可以看出后面的笑話是為了說明前文汽車質(zhì)量差的觀點(diǎn)。因此，正確答案是A。14、C［解析］細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干中的thefirstbigchange可以定位到文中的Thefirstbigchange,possiblypromptedbyemissionregulations,wasanall-newengine.WhenItestedtheAmbassadorforanautomobilemagazineinthemid-1990s,itwasthefastest-acceleratingcarinIndia,outpacingthemoremodernFiatsandMaruti-Suzukisofthatage.Thatitneededthelengthofanairportrunwaytostopitwasanothermatter.Themakerhadbarelyupgradedthebrakes，由此可知這個(gè)變化是由于排氣規(guī)定促成的，變化的是換了一個(gè)全新的引擎。但是卻要飛機(jī)跑道那么遠(yuǎn)的距離才能停下來，因?yàn)闆]有更新剎車。所以A、B、D項(xiàng)是正確的，C講是一個(gè)全新的剎車與事實(shí)相悖。因此，正確答案是C。15、D［解析］主旨題。本文一開篇就指出了印度的老牌汽車'、大使〃汽車由于銷量不佳而停產(chǎn)。接著介紹了這款汽車與現(xiàn)代汽車的對比，并指出它的退隱象征著一個(gè)時(shí)代的結(jié)束，簡要介紹它的質(zhì)量和歷史，最后再次說明現(xiàn)代車輛已經(jīng)徹底取代了這種古老的車。所以主要講的是這個(gè)汽車退出了歷史舞臺。D項(xiàng)符合，A、B、C都只是文章中的次要部分。因此，正確答案是D。16、C［解析］細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考查的是為什么吃富含蛋白質(zhì)的食品是減肥的最佳渠道，可以定位到第二段中的High-proteindietschecktheurgetoeatmorefattyfoods.和Giventhecomplexwayourappetiteswork,eatingtoolittleproteinincreasestheriskthatpeoplewilleatmorefattyfoods,由此可知原因是人們吃這類食物會抑制吃更多高脂肪食物的沖動(dòng)。這與C項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容符合。其他選項(xiàng)文中沒有提及。因此，正確答案是C。17、B［解析］細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干中的obesityrateshavesoaredoverthepast60years可以定位到文中的Researcherssayitisnocoincidencethatobesityrateshavesoaredoverthepast60yearswithBritainnowinthegripofanepidemicatatimewhenweeatlessprotein由此可知主要原因是人們吃的蛋白質(zhì)更少了。8項(xiàng)符合文意。其他的選項(xiàng)文章沒有直接提及。因此，正確答案是B。18、B［解析］細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干中的avoidprocessedfoods可以定位到文中的“Nohumanpopulationhasuntilrecentlyencountered'ultra-processedfoods',madefromindustriallyextractedsugars,starchesandsalt.Ourbodiesandappe
