Part Ⅱ
Passage one 短文大意
人们不会对遇见的每个问题都进行分析。有时人们试图用上一次解决相似问题的方法来处理问题。他们时常会接受其他人的意见,有时他们不经思考就采取行动,用边失败边尝试的办法寻找解决方案。当所有的这些方法都失败的时候, 人们就不得不开始分析问题。作者以修理自行车为例指出,分析一个问题分六个阶段。
21. 答 案 D。
【参考译文】分析问题时,我们应该按照下列的说法去做,除了____ 。
【试题分析】判断题。
【详细解答】ABC三项可从作者对六个阶段的说明中找到出处。D项就是作者在第一段提出的they try to find a solution by trial and error.“用边失败边尝试的办法寻找解决方案”,这个阶段是在开始分析问题之前。
22. 答 案 C。
【参考译文】通过Sam的坏自行车的例子,作者试图____ 。
【试题分析】意图理解题。
【详细解答】作者以山姆修自行车为例,是要说明分析问题的六个阶段。其本意与自行车无关,因此C项符合作者意图。
23. 答 案 A。
【参考译文】 下列那个不正确?
【试题分析】判断题。
【详细解答】文中第一段有B、D项的出处;作者也讲到Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a similar problem.其大意与C项“人们可从过去经验中获得教训”相同;惟有A项“人们不去分析所遇到的问题”是曲解第一句People do not analyze every problem they meet.“人们不会对遇见的每个问题都进行分析”,如果人们真的不去分析所遇到的问题,作者就不必写此文了。
24. 答 案 C。
【参考译文】最后一句话中的 “in short”指代的是?
【试题分析】指代题。
【详细解答】此处in short指的是“总之”,四个选项中C项含义有“一句话”之意,与题符合。
25. 答 案 B。
【参考译文】文章的标题最好的是?
【试题分析】主旨题。
【详细解答】全文以山姆修自行车为例,说明人们分析问题的六个阶段。与修理自行车无关,其中也没有提到分析问题时应该注意什么,A、D项可先排除;文章虽然讲到分析问题的必要性,但主旨是说明那六个阶段,而不是强调“分析”的必要性,C项只是局部问题;因此B项符合文章主旨。
Passage Two 短文大意
俄罗斯和挪威的考古学家在俄国极北部发现了石器,动物骨骼及一只带有石器凿痕的猛犸象长牙,这证明现代人类或尼安德特人曾在3万年前就已经生活在这一地区,比先前认定的提前了一万五千年。但有些考古学家虽然认为对这些发现的鉴定是正确的,但并不能证明这些石器与动物的骨殖属于同一年代。不管怎样,这些发现意义重大:如果制造这些石器的是尼安德特人,那么就证明他们比我们现在认为的要更为能干及适应环境;如果是现代人,那么在人类定居欧洲后,在如此短的时间内就能推进到极北地区,不能不说是非常令人惊讶的。
26. 答 案 C。
【参考译文】 发明的意义是?
【试题分析】判断题。
【详细解答】正如考古学家们说的:the campsite,… was the oldest documented evidence for human presence at this high latitude.这个发现证明人类很早就在极北地出现了,这是它的重大意义所在,C项符合。A、B两项未有定论,D项则可由别的考古发现证明,并不是这一次发现的意义所在。
27. 答 案 B。
【参考译文】为什么小组认为四只脚的猛犸象牙的发现是最重要的发现?
【试题分析】判断题。
【详细解答】文中对这只four-foot mammoth tusk 的描述是…with grooves made by chopping with a sharp stone edge, “unequivocally the work of humans.”即在这只猛犸象牙上有石器砍削的痕迹,可以证明是当时人类用工具对象牙进行了加工,也就证明当时人类会使用工具了。所以这只象牙的重要性是它的证据作用,即B项。A、D项文不对题,C项未指出真正的原因。
28. 答 案 B。
【参考译文】 穴居人是何时灭绝的?
【试题分析】细节题。
【详细解答】文中倒数第二段指出,Neanderthals, …who became extinct after 30,000 years ago,说明尼安德特人是在距今3万年前以后渐渐消亡的,B项数字正确。
29. 答 案 D。
【参考译文】 谁是工具的制造者?
【试题分析】综合判断题。
【详细解答】纵观全文,考古学家对居住在此地的人种仍在争论,不能确定到底是尼安德特人还是现代人曾在此居住,所以D项正确。
