1、What did the future look like fｏｒBritain\'s food production at the time this article was written？（）【閱讀理解A】

A.The fall in world food prices would benefit British food producers

B.An expansion of food production was at hand

C.British food producers would receive more government financial support

D.It looks depressing despite government guarantees.

正確答案:D

答案解析:仔細(xì)閱讀本文，便知本題的答案可由第5段第2和第3句引出，因此答案應(yīng)該是選D。由于文章第3段第1句的government support說的是the gradual cutting down of government support fｏｒfood，不是說英國(guó)政府對(duì)糧食生產(chǎn)者提供財(cái)政上的支持，因此選項(xiàng)C是錯(cuò)的。文中內(nèi)容并未涉及選項(xiàng)A和B，因此A項(xiàng)和B項(xiàng)也是錯(cuò)的。

2、What is the position of the head of human-resource management in an American firm?（）【閱讀理解A】

A.He is one of the most important executives in the firm

B.His post is likely to disappear when new technologies are introduced

C.He is directly under the chief financial executive

D.He has no say in making important decisions in the firm

正確答案:D

答案解析:問在美國(guó)公司中人力資源部經(jīng)理一職地位如何。第2段第4句話指出：“擔(dān)任人力資源部經(jīng)理一職者在公司作出重大決策時(shí)從未被咨詢過，也沒有機(jī)會(huì)升任公司總經(jīng)理。”D項(xiàng)說，“他在公司作重大決定時(shí)沒有發(fā)言權(quán)?！眱删湟馑枷喾?，故D為正確答案。

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。”B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。

4、Which of the following applies to the management of human resources in American companies？（）【閱讀理解A】

A.They hire people at the lowest cost regardless of their skills

B.They see the gaining of skills as their employees\' own business

C.They attach more importance to workers than to equipment

答案解析:問下列哪種情況與美國(guó)公司人才管理狀況相符。第1段第3句話指出：“掌握勞動(dòng)技能被認(rèn)為是個(gè)人自己的責(zé)任。”B項(xiàng)說，“公司把獲得勞動(dòng)技能看成是受雇者自己的事?！笨梢姡@兩句內(nèi)容相吻合。A、C、D三項(xiàng)又與原文不符，故B為正確答案。

A.provides clues fｏｒpeople who are critical of us

B.indicates our likes ａｎｄ　dislikes in choosing a career

C.has a direct influence on the way people regard us

D.is of particular importance when we get on in age

正確答案:C

答案解析:此題考核綜合概括能力。文章第一句就概括了全文中心：人的衣著在判斷一個(gè)人時(shí)起關(guān)鍵作用（Clothes play a critical part in the conclusions we reach by providing clues to），文章第二段和第三段已反復(fù)闡明這一中心思想。由此判斷C與文章內(nèi)容一致，正確答案是C。A不符合文章第二段及第三段內(nèi)容。B、D二項(xiàng)內(nèi)容沒有被提及。
