Passage One 本文是篇科技文,介绍的是轿车上的导航计算机系统。全文可分为3部分:
第1段,讲述的是当今的轿车上导航计算机系统一般使用在豪华车上,不过这是一项发展的技术,价格最终会降低,其市场会扩大。
第2、3、4段,讲述的导航计算机系统的基本原理,即:计算机接受来自GPS卫星信号结合从轮速传感器得到的速度和仪表所示的方向来确定汽车的位置,这些信息将和一个地图数据库结合以此来定位。
第5、6、7段,虽然所有的系统基本工作原理不一样,但是各个品牌在硬件上还是有差异的。
题目分析:
21.A、对应第1段最后一句and the market does seem to be growing中的market和本句开头的it指代的一个意思,即是这种导航计 算机,而不是整个汽车;
B、原文并没有对应项,直接pass掉;
C、meaning prices should eventually drop--and the market does seem to be growing.和选项说的一个意思
D、原文they are most often found in luxury cars只说了这种导航暂时只出现在高档汽车,但并没有提及说安装这种计算机便是一种奢华的象征
22. A、对应于第5段On most systems, a driver enters a desired address, motorway junction or point of interest via a touch screen or disc.
B、对应于第5段you can point to any spot on the map screen and get directions to it,原文只是说凌致车司机点地图上的点就可以得到指示,而选项只是说司机指出自己车的位置便可以达到目的地
C、如果只是检查地图数据库而不输入想到的目的地的话,司机还是找不到最佳路线
D、对应第2段spoken by a clear human-sounding voice,明显的偷换概念,应是计算机给司机语音提示而不是计算机给司机语音提示
23.A、原文第1段只说了价格是2000美元以上,而没有说大部分的价格相似。
B、C对应第5段Most systems are basically identical,和C选项是同义转换。而后面一句接着说The differences come in hardware-,说明他们提供指示还是有区别的
D、对应第3段The computer works with an antenna(天线) that takes signals from no fewer than three of the 24 global positioning system (GPS) satellites,原文只是说天线接收的信号来源于24个GPS卫星中的至少3个而已,并没有提及他们从相同的卫星接收信号。
25.A、对应 it is a developing technology只说了导航技术只发展中的技术但是并没有说技术不成熟
B、C文中没有提及
D、对应第5段The differences come in hardware--the way the computer accepts the driver's request for directions and the way it presents the driving instructions.,同义转换。
Passage Two
本篇是议论文,讨论的是世界的环境问题。全文可分为3个部分:
第1段,指出大多数学生认为世界环境越来越恶劣,但是作者观点刚好相反
第2、3段,进一步阐述世界环境没有恶化并提出实例
第4、5段,解释世界环境没有恶化的原因,但在文末提出一些隐患。
题目分析: 26. 对应原文第1段most students would tear it apart, offering a long list of complaints: from local smog(烟雾) to global climate change, from the felling(砍伐) of forests to the extinction of species.说明大部分学生不同意作者的关于"The world's environment is surprisingly healthy”的discuss.,所以A选项是大部分学生的观点,B选项是作者的观点
27. A、D选项是一个意思,直接pass掉。B说是产出和人口给予环境好的影响,而原文第3段But they don't.是否定第2段的so you would expect the earth itself to have been affected,所以和C选项意思一致
28. 第4段every time a material seems to be running short, the price has risen and, in response, people have looked for new sources of supply, tried to find ways to use less of the material, or looked for a new substitute. For this reason和D选项意思一致
29.对应文章末段末句If no one owns the resource concerned, no one has an interest in conserving it or fostering it和B选项是一个意思。即为:如果无任何人拥有相关的资源,就没有人有兴趣保存它或培育它。
30.对应文章末段首句 It is where prices and markets do not operate properly that this benign trend begins to stumble, and the genuine problems arise.,反推只要价格和市场运行稳定,好的趋势会一直继续下去,虽然A答案没有提到价格,但是这个选项是最贴切的。
Passage Three
本篇是时事评论,可分为4部分:

第3、4、5段,讲述的是最近在加州一些黑人家长提出禁止IQ测试不合法,并且作者阐述IQ测试的好处
第6、7段,在美国对于一些敏感话题人们的观点总在变化

32. 文章第3段指出claiming that the state's ban on IQ testing discriminates against their children by denying them the opportunity to take the test然后法官就reversed, at least partially,his original decision正好对应C答案
33.第4段If a child of any color or group is doing poorly in school it seems to us very important to know whether it is because he or she is of low intelligence, or whether some other factor is the cause.可以推出进行IQ测试可以让父母知道孩子在学校学习欠佳的原因,进而推出父母利用根据此对孩子的教育问题做出决定,这就是D选项的意思
34.文章第7段指出It is hard to say what are the best procedures.和A选项说法一致。
35.文章第6段指出intellectual level seems to be a sensitive subject, and what the law allows us to do varies from time to time. The same fluctuation back and forth occurs in areas other than intelligence.与D选项是同义转换。
