46、Fromthefirstparagraph,wecanseethatDaveIrvine-Halliday.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：c

知識點解析：文章第1段說，當(dāng)哈利德到達尼泊爾遙遠(yuǎn)的小村莊時，他發(fā)現(xiàn)村民們

正用他留給他們的發(fā)光二極管的燈來工作和學(xué)習(xí)。

47TheauthorimpliesthatvillagerslikedLEDbulbsverymuch,becausethey.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點解析：這是一道引申判斷題。第2段提到，村民們每晚用電4個小時，然后

用腳踏的方式來給電池充電。可以想象，在一個遙遠(yuǎn)的小村莊，這可能是最理想的

充電方式了。

48、WhatdoesIrvine-HallidaythinkofLEDs?

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析：第2段接著說，發(fā)光二極管比愛迪生的白熾燈具有更大的優(yōu)越性，所

以哈利德期待它能取代白熾燈成為世界的主要人造光源。

49Whichofthefollowingstatementsdoesnotagreewiththefactsinthepassage?

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：c

知識點0析：這是一道事實尋讀題。第3段說，10年前一位日本工程師研制出了

藍色發(fā)光二極管，這個小小的進展具有極大的影響，因為紅、綠、藍是組成彩虹的

主要顏色。

50、Thepassageimpliesthat.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識點解析：這道題需要分析判斷。最后一段說，研制出節(jié)能，廉價，美觀的白色

發(fā)光二極管是一個艱巨的挑戰(zhàn)。再聯(lián)想到文章前面提到，美國的交通指示燈換上了

節(jié)能耐用的二極管，而發(fā)展中國家還都用白熾燈。那么新能源的癥結(jié)就是不廉價，

這一判斷與選項A相符。

51、SomecriticizethecuiTentwelfareregulationsbecause.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識點解析：一些人批評現(xiàn)行的福利條例，因為這些條例促成了家庭的解體。答案

的依據(jù)是本文開頭的兩句。這兩句的意思是，許多批評現(xiàn)行福利制度的人認(rèn)為，現(xiàn)

行的福利條例促成了家庭關(guān)系的不穩(wěn)定。由于這些條例把大多數(shù)由貧困夫妻組成的

家庭排除在外，沒有讓池們享受為需要扶養(yǎng)的孩子所提供的津貼，因而導(dǎo)致了家庭

的解體。

52、Accordingtothispassage,familystabilitydependson.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析：根據(jù)這篇夕豆文，家庭的穩(wěn)定取決于婚姻的益處和婚姻的成本之間相對

的平衡。作者在第二段第一句中明確指出了婚姻穩(wěn)定的因素：與實現(xiàn)家庭消費和產(chǎn)

出平衡的成本有關(guān)。

53、Allofthefollowingarementionedbytheauthorasfactorstendingtoperpetuatea

marriageEXCEPT.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析：這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題。作者在第一段最后一句提到了A(thcstigmaattchcd

todivorce),C(thecostofalimonyandchildsupport)#D(thelossofpropertyupon

divorce),它們均是使婚姻持久的因素，沒有提到B。

54、Theauthorarguesthat.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點解析：根據(jù)第一段的“theformation…”得知，作者認(rèn)為婚姻家庭的穩(wěn)定與婚

姻的獲益和成本間的平衡有關(guān)。而最后一段末句指出公共福利的資助既降低了婚姻

的獲益，也減少了其解體的成本，因而導(dǎo)致了由于福利引起的婚姻的不穩(wěn)定；

55、Thetoneofthepassagecanbestbedescribedas.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析：作者在文中理性而又客觀地分析了造成家庭婚姻解體的諸多因素，故

選B。
