And for most of the time that the two countries have existed, the French and the British have been rivals or even enemies. One conflict between the two countries lasted over 100 years, and the British and French were at war through the 18th century.根據(jù)第一段中的“In our annual Readers39。s known as the Eternal City: You could spend forever here and find new artistic and cultural treasures every day.”可知難怪它被稱為永恒之城：你可以永遠在這里度過，每天都能發(fā)現(xiàn)新的藝術(shù)和文化寶藏。推斷則是指通過對文章進行符合邏輯的綜合分析，推出文章未直接陳述的言外之意。所以答案選B。Going in for sports with their friends.【答案】 （1）C（2）B（3）D 【解析】【分析】這是一篇說明文。 .

A PG13 film may go beyond the PG rating in theme, violence, nudity (裸露), language, adult activities or other elements, but does not reach the restricted R category. （1）考查推理判斷。 （3）考查推理判斷。2．閱讀理解 s no doubt that puters of the future may contain tiny, folded motors or capacitors for faster processing and better memory.HopefulEducation.根據(jù)第一段中的“The chances are that as you did it, you reflected on how inventive this traditional art is. Animals, boxes, flowers, boats: it all can be created from a single square or rectangular sheet of paper simply by folding it. No cutting, no pasting.”可知，折紙是一個具有創(chuàng)造性的傳統(tǒng)藝術(shù)，我們不用裁剪或拼貼，只通過折疊就可以把一張正方形或者三角形的紙變成動物、紙盒、花、船等東西，由此推測折紙需要有創(chuàng)造性的和有趣的想法。 （4）考查推理判斷。 This stands in contrast to a large body of research that attractiveness, in general, helps candidates in the selection process. For the most part good looks is a blessing. We treat pretty people more favorably in general, often vote for them more in elections, and pay them more in their professions. The research suggests that attractive people may be discriminated against in selection for relatively less desirable jobs. The less desirable jobs included a warehouse worker, housekeeper, customer service representative and the more desirable jobs included things like a manager, project director, IT elite(精英). In all experiments where they were asked, participants were significantly less likely to hire the attractive candidate for the less desirable job and more likely to hire the attractive candidate for the more desirable job. The research also suggests the established view that attractive candidates are favored when applying for jobs might be limited to high173。The process of the experiment.D.C.an IT elite（4）Why are less attractive applicants preferred for less desirable jobs? A.level jobs.C.根據(jù)第四段中的The less desirable jobs included a warehouse worker, housekeeper, customer service representative及participants were significantly less likely to hire the attractive candidate for the less desirable job可知,參與者不太可能雇有吸引力的人做不那么理想的工作,而倉庫管理員是不理想的工作之一,由此可知,長相一般的人在申請倉庫管理員職位上有優(yōu)勢,故選C。 The great sailing ships were so much a part of British life thatthey even affected the language. Many English expressions we use today were originallynautical (航海的)terms, although most people no longer realize this. For example, people monlydescribe an honest and fair business deal as being above board. Thisexpression was originally used in sailing ship times when secretive, dishonest ship39。 Most native English speakers have heard the expression notenough room to swing a cat, but few know that the cat does notrefer to a small furry animal with four legs and a tail. The cat isactually a short form of cat of nine tails — a whip with nine, knotted(打結(jié)的) tails. A boatswain needed a lot of spacein order to swing the whip properly when lashing (鞭打) a poor sailor under his control!（1）The British have been strongly influenced by the sea because ________. A.B.they had the largest navy ever（2）If someone is open and above board, it means he is ________.
