A、TwoMajorChangedViewofIntelligence

B、Manyofthedifferencesinmeasuredintelligence

C、MainResultsofRecentResearches

D、ImpactonSchoolEducation

【正確答案】C

【答案解析】本段文寧的第一句話就把其內(nèi)容點(diǎn)的很清楚，要介紹的是：Two

majorfindingshaveemergedfromtheseresearches.而選項(xiàng)C中的MainResults只不

過是majorfindings的另一種說法而已。

A.True

B、False

C、NotGiven

【正確答案】B

【答案解析】答案選B。問題句說“美國位于前十個(gè)國家的行列〃。TheUS,whichhas

thesecondhighestpercapitaGDP（人均國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值）afterLuxembourg,tookthe

13thplaceinthesurvey.該句說“美國的人均國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值排名第2,僅位于盧森

堡之后，因此美國在這項(xiàng)調(diào)查中位于第13位?！憋@然問題句的說法與該句的說法

不一致，因此判斷問題句“錯(cuò)誤〃。

第3題【單選題】

C^therearefewerspeciesofreptilesandbutterfliesinEuropethanelsewhere.

D、manyspeciesofreptilesanbutterfliesinEuropeneedprotecting.

【正確答案】D

【答案解析】答案選D。本段的第二個(gè)句子是這么說的：有21個(gè)國家組成的歐

洲委員會的研究表明，45%的爬行動物和24%的蝴蝶瀕臨滅絕。由此可見，D是

正確的答案。

第4題【單選題】

A、wouldbe

B,be

這項(xiàng)工作在今天下午五點(diǎn)鐘之前要完成。詳細(xì)解答：that引導(dǎo)同位語從句，說明

order的內(nèi)容。同時(shí)從句要用虛擬語氣，從句謂語用should—?jiǎng)釉~原形的形式，

should可以省略。

A、obeysdifferentlaws.

B、obeysonecommonlaw.

B、tomakingchipsanysmaller

C^toshrinkittothesizeofadesktopcomputerandcutthescanningtimeto30

seconds

D、ofconductingelectricity

【正確答案】C

【答案解析】這部分所說的體積的減小和所需時(shí)間的縮短恰好與前半句中提到的

冰箱大小的體積和所需數(shù)分鐘的時(shí)間形成了對比。即：目前它大約像冰箱那么大，

而且要用幾分鐘掃描一個(gè)電路，但是他們正在努力使它縮小到臺式計(jì)算機(jī)那么大,

把掃描時(shí)間縮短到30秒。

C、Ourinternalclockaswellasthealarmclockcanberesetautomatically.

alarmclock,yourinternalclockcanbereset.Infact,itautomaticallyresetsitself

everyday.How?Byusingthelightitgetsthroughyoureyes.代詞it指代biological

C、theyaretoocostly

【答案解析】本段第二句就是講的兩個(gè)原因，即人們的工資水平太低，也就是沒

有能力使機(jī)器人發(fā)揮出創(chuàng)造貶富的作用，言下之意就是成本高。第二個(gè)原因就是

B、False

C^NotGiven

【正確答案】C

【答案解析】答案選Co問題句說“Hillary的一個(gè)競選承諾是改革國家的醫(yī)療制度」

而本段只是說“女人做教育和醫(yī)療方面的工作有優(yōu)勢〃，沒有說Hillary的一個(gè)競選

承諾式改革國家的醫(yī)療制度，因此問題句的信息在文章中沒有被提到。
