1、The mother who holds her baby on the left（）.【閱讀理解A】

A.knows that her heart-beat has a calming effect on the baby

B.keeps her dominant arm free fｏｒmanipulations

C.instinctively ｏｒby an unconscious series of trials ａｎｄ　errors soon arrives at the discovery that her baby is more at peace if held on the left against her heart

D.gives the usual fondling, cuddling ａｎｄ　cleaning little comment

正確答案:C

答案解析:主旨題。經(jīng)過觀察發(fā)現(xiàn)：…the mother, either instinctively ｏｒby an unconscious series of trials ａｎｄ　errors would soon arrive at the discovery that her baby is more at peace if held on the left against her heart, than on the right.“母親或許是本能地，或許是經(jīng)過一系列的無意識的成敗試驗后很快發(fā)現(xiàn)，如果她的嬰兒被抱在左側(cè)貼近心臟處，要比抱在右側(cè)乖得多”，因此才有第一段中的現(xiàn)象：80％的母親是左手兜住自己的孩子，把孩子放在自己身體的左側(cè)。因此C正確。

2、What is the main idea of the passage?（）【閱讀理解A】

A.American firms are different from Japanese ａｎｄ　German firms in human-resource management

B.Extensive retraining is indispensable to effective human-resource management

C.The head of human-resource management must be in the central position in a firm\'s hierarchy

D.The human-resource management strategies of American firms affect their competitive capacity

正確答案:D

答案解析:問文章大意是什么?？v觀全文，講的主要是美國公司對人才管理的重視程度不夠，對員工基本技能培訓(xùn)不足以及這種狀況對公司競爭力的影響。A、B、C三項的內(nèi)容文中均提到過，但沒有展開論述。D項“美國公司的人才管理策略影響它們的競爭力”貼近全文，故為正確答案。

3、Why is there "wide-spread uneasiness ａｎｄ　confusion about the food situation in Britain？"（）【閱讀理解A】

A.The abundant food supply is not expected to last

B.Britain is importing less food

C.Despite the abundance, food prices keep rising

D.Britain will cut back on its production of food

正確答案:C

答案解析:只要考生仔細閱讀，便可看出本文的第1段第5句Why do food prices keep on rising，when there seems to be so much food about？回答了這個問題。因此選項C是答案。文中未提及A項、B項和D項，因此這3個選項都不合適。

4、Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?（）【閱讀理解A】

A.Tipping is very popular in America

B.Better service deserves bigger tip

C.Discretionary tipping is not reasonable

D.Tipping embodies one\'s social status

正確答案:C

答案解析:A項僅僅指出了文中所論述的一個現(xiàn)象；B項是公眾的普遍看法，并非作者的觀點；D項是文章后面論述的一個次要觀點，并不能概括全文的主旨。

5、What is the passage mainly about?（）【閱讀理解A】

A.Dressing fｏｒeffect

B.How to dress appropriately

C.Managerial positions ａｎｄ　clothing

D.Dressing fｏｒthe occasion

正確答案:A

答案解析:本題是中心思想概括題。根據(jù)文章開頭第一句就可判斷全文介紹了衣著給人帶來的不同的印象，正確答案是A。文章核心并非告訴人們?nèi)绾未┲线m，所以B不對；文章核心更不是談如何穿著入時，所以C也不對；文章也不僅僅談管理人員的職業(yè)服裝，所以D不正確。
