【定位】题干“nappy curriculum”定位文章第四段
【判断】观点题。文章中有转折词的地方都要特别留心,在第三行出现but,阅读后面的内容能看出Dame Clare 对于现在的课程设置并不满意,“死板,重复,官僚”,而现在的课程设置在文章前半部分有提到过,是注重于“读写技能”而不是“社会或生存技能”,所以可以排除选项A, D; 而教授课程本身就是nursery staff 和childminder 的职责之一,无所谓more responsiblility,而选项C 与文章主旨相符。正确答案为选项C。
25. Which of the following statements is NOT true about preschool education?
A. Some evidence indicates that socio-economic backgrounds of a family bear no relationship to children’s preschool education.
B. The government cares about children’s preschool education because the authority wants progress in social and economic development.
C. Campaingns are being lauched to encourage children to put more time in playing rather than learning reading and writing.
D. Preschool learning started very young can help children to be more competitive in further education in some ways.
【定位】主旨题,无明确段落定位,可以通过前面已经完成的细节题和推断题进行判断。
【判断】注意题干中的“Not ture ”,符合文章主旨的都要进行排除。选项B,与第二段与第三段主旨相符。选项C,与文章最后一段主旨相符;选项D,与第三题题意相符;选项A, 与第三题选项A 有重复的地方,提到家庭贫富与接受早教的关系,之前我们就推断出家庭富裕的孩子有更多机会接受早教,而接受早教能让学生在以后的学习中更优秀,这与文章主旨是相符的,所以家庭的富裕程度与早教有关系,而不是“no relationship ”,正确答案为选项A。
Questions 26-30
【文章概述】
文章通过一系列实验,来验证一个人对自己能力的肯定能通过外在最直接的“姿势”来体现。要想赢得包括自己在内所有人的肯定和尊重,我们应该可以让自己通过“姿势”来展现自己的力量。
【参考答案】26. A 27. D 28. B 29. C 30. A
【题目解析】
26. The word “contricted” (Para. 3) is closest in meaning to_____________.
A. narrow B. wide C. rich D. extensive
【定位】题干定位文章第三段,倒数第三行
【判断】词汇题。通过文章对于实验对象姿势的具体描述和前后对比,我们就能对词义进行推测。“The other half”是“spread wide”和“reaching outward ”,所以这一半实验对象,就应该是和“wide”相对应的“narrow”,正确答案为选项A 。
27. According to the passage, the “chair” are designed to __________.
A. test volunteers’ leadership capacity
B. improve volunteers’ working condition
C. address the demands in market
D. test volunteers’ sense of power
【定位】定位第三段和第四段
【判断】推断题+细节题;选项B,与文章主旨无关,排除;选项C 针对原文的“a marketing ergonomic chairs”是实验者向实验对象对于“椅子”的描述,而选项A,是针对调查问卷的表面目的,通过第四段首句“In fact, neither of these tests was what it seemed.”能推断出,两个实验的真正目的都不是像表面描述的那么简单,与文章主旨真正相关的,只有选项D,整篇文章都是围绕“姿势”如何影响“力量”展开,所以正确答案为选项D。
28. It can be inferred from the passage that if the voluteer prefer to use “load” rather than “lead” in the word completion task, he might ____________.
A. get more scores than others
B. sit in more constricted posture
C. prefer to be manger rather than subordinates
D. have higher sense of power
【定位】题干定位第五段,第六段
【判断】推断题。通过文章细节推断段落主旨。选项A,可以直接得出,填写“lead”得分, “load”不得分,与文章内容不相符,排除;选项C,与第六段中“„found no difference in word-completion„they would be managers and „subordinates”中“no difference”不相符,排除;选项D,通过文章能推断出,填“load”的人应该不像填“lead”的人那样有领导力,所以应该是lower sense of power, 而不是higher,排除;只有选项B,同选项D 分析,结合第六段“those who had sat in an expansive pose, regardless of „scored an average of 3.44„”能发现有“high sense of power”的人填词游戏的分数会比较高,而他们也会sat in an expansive pose, 所以想法,分数低的人会坐得比较“contricted”,正确答案为选项B。
29. What conclusion will NOT be drawn from those “expansive” posturers?
A. They might be given more scores in the work-completion task.
B. They will positively back the victims of mistaken identity.
C. They tend to increase their sense of power due to the title.
D. They are more active on the power-related tasks.
【定位】根据前三题进行推断,加上选项定位第七段
【判断】细节题+推断题。根据以前所涉及的文章内容和题目推断,我们能得出文章的主旨是:坐姿expansive 的人,更具有sense of power,在填词游戏中得分会更高;而根据文章第七段,我们能得知,这些人在团队活动或人格体现中,会体现出更积极更有力量的一面。注意题干中的“NOT ”,所以我们要选择符合“contricted”那些坐姿人的特点,ABD 都不符合, 而C 也与第六段的首句“although previous studies suggested a mere title is enough to produce a detectable in crease „”这句话相符合,正确答案为选项C。
30. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How you hold yourself affects how you view yourself
B. To posture yourself expansively earns more respects from others.
C. Contricted posturers have slim chances to be a leader.
D. The sense of power is decided by the postures.
【定位】主旨题,通过开头结尾定位
【判断】文章主旨很清晰,一个人的姿势不仅能影响自己对自己的肯定,也能影响别人对你的肯定,所以,正确答案为A。
