C.in order to keep their left arms free for other work

D.in order to keep their right arms free for other work

正確答案:D

答案解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。這道題關(guān)鍵要注意到題目中的Most people think…，多數(shù)人認(rèn)為… 文中說(shuō)“…most people reply that it is obviously the result of the predominance of right-handedness in the population”?！按蠖鄶?shù)人會(huì)回答說(shuō)，顯然這是人們以右手為主的這種優(yōu)勢(shì)造成的結(jié)果?！?因此選D。

A.the introduction of new technologies

B.the improvement of workers\' basic skills

C.the rational composition of professional and managerial employees

D.the attachment of importance to the bottom half of the employees

正確答案:B

答案解析:根據(jù)本文，保持公司競(jìng)爭(zhēng)優(yōu)勢(shì)的決定性因素是什么。文章開(kāi)頭第一句話便指出：“如果持續(xù)性的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)優(yōu)勢(shì)取決于勞動(dòng)者技能的話，那么美國(guó)公司正面臨著難題”。第三段中又指出：“員工基本技能的培訓(xùn)使得他們吸收掌握新技術(shù)成為可能?！盉項(xiàng)“提高工人的基本技能”與文章內(nèi)容相近，故B為正確答案。

3、The word “precedents” (Line 1, Para. 4) probably refers to（）.【閱讀理解A】

A.early acts for men to follow as examples

B.particular places for men to occupy especially because of their importance

C.things that men should agree upon

D.men’s beliefs that everything in the world has already been decided

正確答案:A

答案解析:該題要求根據(jù)上下文推測(cè)precedent的詞義。分析第四段第一句可以看出precedent和role models一起是并列賓語(yǔ)，所以precedent意義與role models類(lèi)似，另外從構(gòu)詞法角度分析前綴re前面，在四個(gè)選擇項(xiàng)當(dāng)中，符合以上二點(diǎn)要求的只有A項(xiàng)，正確答案是A。

4、The advertisers’ attitude is based on the hope that consumers（）.【閱讀理解A】

A.know deep down what they really want

B.are interested in what is being designed

C.are indifferent to what is being advertised

D.are uncritical and easily influenced

正確答案:D

答案解析:綜觀全文，廣告商希望消費(fèi)者沒(méi)有太多主見(jiàn)，隨波逐流，被他們牽著鼻子走。因此選D。 

5、What does the writer of this passage think of the ideas of Ghoshal and Bartlett?（）【閱讀理解A】

A.Very instructive

B.Very inspiring

C.Hard to implement

D.Quite harsh

正確答案:C

答案解析:從第三段“Unfortunately, they promise more than they deliver.”可以看出作者對(duì)Ghoshal 和 Bartlett的觀點(diǎn)是不以為然的，作者認(rèn)為這兩個(gè)人許諾的比實(shí)際提供的要多，所以作者對(duì)這兩個(gè)人的看法是他們的觀點(diǎn)不切實(shí)際。
