閱讀理解

A篇

51.答案為D. 此題考查細節(jié)理解， 解題思路：根據文章第一段: “A young woman went to her mother and told her how hard life was. She was tired of struggling and fighting and wanted to give up.”  可知the daughter wanted to resign herself to life 她想屈服于生活，因為生活有太多艱難。

52.答案為B 本題考查詞意猜測。 解題思路: 根據劃線后it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The coffee beans were unique, however; after they had been in the boiling water, they had changed the water，可知：是將蘿卜放進水里，任由水支配,擺布它的命運,即為at the mercy of 的中文意思。

53.答案為D,此題考查細節(jié)推理判斷，根據第六段The daughter then asked, “What does it mean, mother?” Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity but reacted differently，可以判斷C為錯誤選項，根據最后一段Are you the carrot that seems strong, but with change and adversity will you wilt(萎縮) and become soft and lose your strength，可以看出A 不是正確選項，根據“Are you the egg that starts with a malleable（可塑的）， heart, but changes with the heat?  When faced with a death, a break-up, a financial hardship or some other trial, do you become hardened and stiff? “The coffee bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor，可以排除B，進而確定D為正確選項。

54.答案為C，此題考查的是標題判斷。本文介紹的是：媽媽用蘿卜，雞蛋和咖啡豆面臨公共的挫折—開水時的不同反應作為比喻，喻指我們面對挫折最好的態(tài)度應是像咖啡豆一樣，故C 為最佳選項。  

B篇《瘋狂英語》2011年10月刊

55. B. 推理判斷題。由文章第一段第一句可知間隔年源于二戰(zhàn)后的十年里，各國政府提倡青年旅行和文化交流，從而增進全人類的共識，以防止世界性大戰(zhàn)再次發(fā)生。

56. D. 推理判斷題。由文章第三段最后一句話可知英國和全球的間隔年事業(yè)在繼續(xù)穩(wěn)步發(fā) 展。

57. A. 詞義猜測題。由文末最后一句話的authority和spokesperson可知。

58. C. 主旨大意題。全文按照時間順序介紹了間隔年的起源和發(fā)展。

C篇

59. D. 文中三段提到if you are disinclined to venture far from home office；第四段提到了it is one of those professions which pays well以及you get to work with other reasonably intelligent, technical people, while the investors throw money at you for their next great ideas。

60. C 文中提到了Chris Leong a programmer in Sydney suggested “working for the government — most roles have 35-hour weeks in Australia — unless you become senior. ”，可以看出Chris Leong本身是名computer programmer，然后他的建議是“除非你是名資深的電腦程序員，否則最好working for the government，其原因就是大部分公務員每周工作35小時每周”，由此可推斷出computer programmer可能較長。

61. D 文中確實提到了需要具備專業(yè)技能，用專業(yè)知識和建議賺錢，但最關鍵的還是在于“identify the activities you don't consider work and find a career that will pay you for those.”

62. B 全文都是講的對于finding the less-taxing, but most- profitable job的客觀看法和觀點，不涉及作者自己的觀點。

D篇文章大意： 流行文化對中國人旅游目的地的影響。

63.D. 細節(jié)理解題。由第三段Now more than ever, popular culture is driving their decision making得知

64.A. 詞義猜測題。從下文的參觀馬克思故居和因為徐志摩的詩而去看劍橋的寡婦樹可以得知是朝拜之旅。

65.B. 細節(jié)理解題。由最后一段But the Chinese interpretation is always different 得知Mr. Brennen 說的是中國人對流行文化的理解不同。

66.C. 主旨大意題。本文的中心是流行文化對中國游客的影響。因此C項正確。

E篇

本篇文章是關于香港警察依法清理“占中”非法活動的社會類文章。

67. A. 推理判斷題, 從文第三段“．．．22 officers were injured during the clearances.” 可知選擇A選項。

68. C. 事實細節(jié)題。從文章第二段第二行The two-day operation saw 148 people arrested for various offenses, including contempt of court, resisting arrest, possession of offensive weapons, unlawful assembly and assaulting police.可知C答案正確。

69. D. 推理判斷題. 從文章第六段開頭This week's actions mark the first time the authorities have successfully cleared one of the three main protest sites,…可以推斷Hong Kong police已經成功的清理了被非法侵占的三個地區(qū)中間的一個，理所當然他們會據需采取行動繼續(xù)清理另外兩個地區(qū)。

70. B. 作者意圖題.縱觀全文，作者主要介紹了香港依法清理了“占中”非法活動的事。故選B.
